Exhibit #1 - Yellow file containing application and
other pertinent documents to this request.
Exhibit #2 - Site Plan for proposed operation.
The hearing was opened and Zoning Administrator, Roger Blaylock reviewed the staff
report. This proposal is necessary to fill in a grade of approx. 9500 cu. yds. of material
for a switching track, a distance of approximately 1400 feet. For the area of fill within
the City of Renton it is intended to bring the current elevation of 16 ft. to approximately
28 to 30 ft. and provide a switching track. An equal portion is also included in the City of
Tukwila. Immediately adjacent to the subject site is the proposed P-1 Channel which
Burlingtor Northern had already reserved the location for in their previous platting
operation. It was noted that the fill would probably be brought in by rail cars instead of
trucks. The ERC has requested the applicant to install a crossing when the P-1 channel is
constructed and to provide compensating flood storage. Mr. Blaylock stated that
compensating flood storage will deal with storm water that would normally go to an
elevation of 17 ft. instead of the 30 ft. we are dealing with for the entire fill. Total
operation will be approximately 18,800 cu.yds, and part of that fill will be located in
Tukwila. Materials out of the storage pond should not be dumped in the same flood basin
but disposed above the elevation of the flood storage area. It was noted that although the
applicant has no written agreement with the City to provide a crossing of the P-1
Channel, they have accepted building permits with this condition imposed upon them, and
it is felt their acceptance of those permits constitutes an agreement to make the
improvements at their own expense. It is also requested that the applicant post a $500.00
cash bond to be used for street clean-up if other than rail cars are used to haul the fill.
Mr. Blaylock said there was a concern that some of the crossings had not been finalized
and approved and the annual license to be issued to complete this work will have to
contain detailed plans. Included in the plans should be the cross-sections and elevations
supporting the compensating storage issue. He said the applicant has agreed to provide
the compensating storage even though it is located outside the City of Renton, and feels
the City of Tukwila should issue the appropriate license prior to the City of Renton
issuing the annual permit. The actual plans could be reviewed by the engineering
departments of both cities. He stated staff would recommend this proposal with
conditions.

The Examiner called for testimony from the applicant or their representative.
Responding was:
Mort Thomas
2001 Western Avenue
Seattle, Wa. 98121
Mr. Thomas addressed the compensating flood storage aspect of this proposal. He said
they located it in Tukwila and could move it into Renton if it is an issue. The excavated
material will be stockpiled adjacent to the proposed P-1 channel at an elevation above 17
ft. Mr. Thomas said they are agreeable to submitting detailed plans to the Engineering
Department. He verified his agreement to the requirements set out in the staff report.
Further testimony was called for in support of this application. Responding was:
Mike Cook
999 Third Avenue
Seattle, Wa. 98104
Mr. Cook questioned why if there is an existing line, they would be financially tied into
the costs required by the City for crossing the P-1 Channel. Mr. Blaylock stated that
Burlington Northern recognizes with the construction of the P-1 Channel they are
responsit le for building the structure that would cross the Channel for the spur line, which
is actual y adjacent to the outside of the fill area. Concern was that in any expansion of
the total system there needs to be more of a formal understanding between the applicant
and the City. A formal recognition would be more readily accepted than just having the
applicant note on the building plans that they accept the conditons. The Examiner
interjecti:d that he did not feel it was within his jurisdiction to point out to the City
Council or Public Works Department as to whether or not they should pursue a contract.
Mr. Blaylock said if that was the feeling of the Examiner then he would recommend that
conditions #4 and #5 of the staff report be deleted, recognizing that they are outside of
the scope of his jurisdiction. Mr. Cook stated if the City has made such agreements with
other par ties, and the City feels they are binding agreements, he did not see why the two
conditions had to be made a part of the report. Mr. Blaylock responded they were in the
report for clarification, but he was now recommending their removal.
The Examiner called for further testimony in support of or in opposition to this proposal.
There was none, and the hearing was closed at 9:50 A.M.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION:
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the
following:
FINDINGS:
1.The applicant, Burlington Northern Railroad Company, filed a request for approval
of a grade and fill operation on approximately 2.07 acres of property.
2.The application file containing the application, the State Environmental Policy Act
SE:PA) documentation, the Building and Zoning Department Report, and other
pe-tinent documents was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C,
1911, as amended), a Declaration of Non- Significance has been issued for the
subject proposal by the Environmental Review Committee (ERC), responsible
ofi icial.
4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the
im3act of this development.
5.There was no opposition to the subject proposal from any member of the public.
6. The subject site is located in the recently approved Burlington Northern Rail
Terminal on the border between Renton and T ukwila.
7. The subject site was annexed into the City by Ordinance 1745 in April of 1959, as
amended by Ordinances 1764 (May, 1959) and 1928 (December, 1961). The subject
site was zoned G (General) upon annexation but is currently zoned H-1 (Heavy
Industry).

8.The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the
subject site is located as suitable for the development of manufacturing park uses,
b t does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of
the plan.
9.The subject site will be graded and filled with approximately 9,500 cubic yards of
m aerial to provide a raised rail bed for a new spur track to service the approved
at_tomobile unloading facility.
10. The raised bed will cover a distance of approximately 1,400 feet.
11. Approximately 450 cubic yards of material would be placed below elevation 17 feet
thereby potentially displacing flood waters. The applicant proposes providing
compensating storage by excavating a separate area of 135 feet by 135 feet by 1
fo)t deep. The area to be excavated would lie within the flood area but within the
City of Tukwila. The excavated material will be placed outside the flood elevation.
12. T1-e applicant proposes importing the fill material by rail car thereby avoiding
su.-face streets, truck trips and spilled debris.
13. Additional fill material will be placed in Tukwila and is subject to their separate
cr teria.
14. Discussion of Burlington Northern's obligations regarding crossings of the P-1
Cf•annel are matters outside the jurisdiction of this office relating to contracts, a
matter for City Council consideration.
CONCLUSIONS
1.The proposed grade and fill permit appears to serve the public interest. The permit
wi 1 facilitate an already approved rail transfer facility for automobiles.
2.The fill will infringe upon the flood storage potential of the subject site and the
applicant has, therefore, provided equivalent compensating storage elsewhere on
the subject property but still within the flood prone area. There should be no
adverse impact upon other property or the public welfare.
3. WI-ile the applicant intends importation of the material by rail car, if use of the
City roads becomes necessary the applicant will have to post a cash bond to assure
street maintenance by City crews if the applicant fails to keep the streets clean.
A $500.00 cash bond will be required if truck importation should materialize.
DECISIO1 i
The grade and fill permit is approved subject to the following conditions.
1.The posting of a cash bond of $500.00 to permit City crews to clear the streets of
debris if the applicant uses trucks rather than rail cars to move fill materials.
2. De:ailed grade, fill and elevation plans must be approved by the Public Works
Department.

Pursuant to Title IV, Section 3015 of the City's Code, request for reconsideration must be
filed in writing on or before September 6, 1984. Any aggrieved person feeling that the
decision of the Examiner is based on erroneous procedure, errors of law or fact, error in
judgment or the discovery of new evidence which could not be reasonably available at the
prior hearing may make a written request for review by the Examiner within fourteen (14)
days from the date of the Examiner's decision. This request shall set forth the specific
errors relied upon by such appellant, and the Examiner may, after review of the record,
take further action as he deems proper.
An appea to the City Council is governed by Title IV, Section 3016, which requires that
such appeal be filed with the City Clerk, accompanying a filing fee of $75.00 and meeting
other specified requirements. Copies of this ordinance are available for inspection or
purchase in the Finance Department, first floor of City Hall.
The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one)
communications may occur concerning land use decisions. This means that parties to a
land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the
proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and
members pf the City Council.
All communications concerning the the proposal must be made in public. This permits all
interestec parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to
openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation
of the request by the Court.
The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for
Reconsideration as well as Appeals to the City Council.

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 Final Declaration
of Non-significance was issued for the subject site.
K. AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS CONTACTED:
1.City of Renton Building & Zoning Department.
2.City of Renton Design Engineering Division.
3.City of Renton Traffic Engineering Division.
4. City of Renton Utilities Engineering Division.
5. City of Renton Police Department.
6. City of Renton Fire Prevention Bureau.
7. City of Renton Policy Development Department.
8. City of Renton Parks & Recreation Department.
L. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1. The applicant, Burlington Northern Railroad Company, is requesting a special
permit for fill and grade to allow the placement of approximatly 9,500 cubic
yards of fill material to facilitate the creation of a spur track to help service
the auto unloading facility presently under construction along Oakesdale
Avenue S.W.
In the filling operation, approximately 12,200 cubic feet (450 cubic yards) of
fill will be placed below an elevation of 17 feet, which will be within the
flood storage area of the Eastside Watershed Project. The larger amount of
fill is necessary to bring the road bed up to an elevation of approximately 30
feet. Compensating storage will be provided by excavating a 135' by 135'
square, one foot in depth, within the general location of the P-1 Channel in
the area inside the city of Tukwila outside the city limits of Renton.
2.The Environmental Review Committee has issued a Declaration of
Non-significance subject to the following two conditions:
Burlington Northern, Inc. shall install the necessary crossing of the P-1
Channel at no cost to the City of Renton, when directed by the City to
facilitate construction of the Channel.
Compensating flood storage is to be provided.
This basically means that at the time of digging of the P-1 Channel, the City
can require Burlington Northern to provide railroad grade crossings for any
new projects that they have constructed into this area while the planning
process of the drainage program has been under way. The compensating
storage is a standard proviso required for anything within the flood plain.
Burlington Northern has already stated and located that compensating flood
storage area.
3. Part of the fill necessary for the spur line is located within the city of
Tukwila. A total of 18,800 cubic yards of fill will be necessary for the total
operational development.
4. Various City departments have reviewed the subject proposal and
commented. The Police Department, Parks and Recreation Department,
Building and Zoning Department, Fire Department, and the Utilities
Engineering Division have approved the project without conditions. Both the
Engineering and Traffic Engineering Divisions of the Public Works
Department and the Policy Development Department have suggested
approval of the project with conditions. The conditions of approval by the
various departments are as follows:
PRELIMINARY REPORT 1 HE HEARING EXAMINER
BURLINGTON NORTHERN RAILROAD COMPANY: SP-078-84
1A GUST 14, 1984
P GE 4
Engineering:
1. Provide cross-sections and calculations supporting compensating
storage.
2. Identify area to be filled and area and elevations where surplus
materials from pond is to be wasted.
3. Commitment by responsible official of Burlington Northern, Inc.
agreeing to install necessary crossing of P-1 Channel at no cost to
the City of Renton, when directed by the City to facilitate
construction of the P-1 Channel.
Traffic Engineering:
1. Hauling company should be bonded to City to insure ready
clean-up.
2. Prior to the granting of the permit, Burlington Northern should:
a. Establish W.U.T.C. (Washington Utility and Transportation
Committee) permit for all rail crossings in the Glacier Park
Plat.
b. Install all railroad crossing improvements in Glacier Park
Plat as requested by the City.
O Policy Development Department:
1. Hauling hours and routes should be restricted.
2. Detailed cross-sections provided to Public Works Department
relative to compensating flood storage and P-1 Channel effects.
5. The comments raised by the various City departments are divided into two
basic categories. The first category deals with immediate impact created
from the filling operation, while the secondary is related to the interface
between the existing and proposed rail extension into the area as it affects
public streets.
The annual license that will be issued to Burlington Northern to complete this
work by the Building and Zoning Department will have to have detailed plans
showing the cross-sections and calculations supporting the compensating
flood storage issue. Burlington Northern has agreed that they will provide
this area even though it is located outside of the city limits in Tukwila.
Therefore, this will have to be conditioned so that the City of Tukwila will
issue appropriate licensing prior to the City issuing the annual permit.
Included in this will be the discussion of where the material excavated from
the Tukwila site will be deposited. It should not be deposited within the flood
plain because then it would still affect the operation of the P-1 Channel,
even though it is outside of the city limits.
The issue of bonding for the hauling company is inappropriate in this case.
Burlington Northern will actually fill the site by bringing material in on rail
cars and dumping along side existing tracks.
The specific issues dealing with Burlington Northern's commitment to provide
the crossing over the P-1 Channel and to cooperate with the City in obtaining
all W.U.P.C. permit approvals for rail crossings in the plat is not a primary
issue of the fill and grade permit application. However, issuance of a special
permit for fill and grade clearly shows that the City would be encouraging
the introduction of more rail lines into this industrial area. The potential
conflict should be addressed, and Burlington Northern should be aware that
the City may at some point refuse building permits because they have not
complied with a total development package as required by both the City and
State regulations. The specific issue of crossing the P-1 Channel with
PRELIMINARY REPORT .-HE HEARING EXAMINER
BURLINC;TON NORTHERN RAILROAD COMPANY: SP-078-84
AUGUST 14, 1984
PAGE 5
Burlington Northern being totally financially responsible for that crossing has
been stated on numerous occasions in the past. Burlington Northern has not
formally committed in a written agreement at this time. However, because
Burlington Northern has accepted building permits with this specific
environmental condition imposed upon it, the City's position has been that
Burlington Northern has agreed to those improvements at their cost. It
appears that the Public Works Department would prefer to have a formal
agreement with Burlington Northern.
6. The proposal does appear to comply with all of the provisions as outlined
under Section 4-2316 for fills and specifically the one dealing with slopes of
all new fill surfaces.
M. DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
Ba3ed upon the above analysis, it is recommended that the special permit for fill
and grade, SP-078-84, be approved subject to the following conditions:
1. Approval of the City of Tukwila of necessary permits to allow the excavation
of materials for the compensating storm water storage area.
2. Submission of detail plans of that area along with detailed engineering plans
for the fill to accompany the annual license.
3. Posting of a $500 bond if, in fact, other than rail cars are utilized to fill the
site for street clean up.
4. Formal commitment in writing by Burlington Northern of their responsibility
to construct any crossings over the P-1 Channel at a future date.
5. Establish W.U.T.C. permits for all rail crossings in the Glacier Park Plat.

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.
