Subject: Detention Pond
Good morning,
I wanted to give everyone a status update.
The first portion of the storm drain clean-up happened earlier this week, and drainage capacity is at 90% for the two
main catch basins.
On 9.10 and 9.11 the remaining five catch basins will be addressed on the main drainage line to the detention pond.
Between 9.10-9.13 the vegetation (sticker bushes, blackberries, scotch broom) will be removed from around the
detention pond. Additionally, there are trees that will removed so that the root systems are not interfering with the
detention ponds drainage. The fence and garbage will also be removed at this time.
Once the area is clear our vendor will be able to access the detention pond and perform clean-out and any repairs that
may be needed. We anticipate that this work will be completed by 9.30.13.
This will take care of the issues that need to be addressed this year. A schedule will be completed for continued
maintenance and clean-up in 2014.
I am available via email should there be any follow-up questions.

Montclair Hgts. -Drainage System Maintenance
Montclair Heights Stormwater Detention Facility -Maintenance Correction Report
Montclair · s Manager
Hello Alyssa,
This is follow-up to our conversation this morning. Thank you for updating me on the actions Montclair
Heights is taking to immediately address maintenance of the apartments' storm water drainage system, to
include:
~ Inspection and any required maintenance of the entire stormwater conveyance pipe and catch basins that
connects the parking lot stormwater drainage system to the detention pond below, (Facility ID #145407).
~ Completing required maintenance of the detention pond (Facility ID #145407).
~ A maintenance schedule for cleaning all the parking lot stormwater catch basins.
It is my understanding that Montclair Heights is actively arranging with a contractor to do this work. Please
reply to this email to provide the Surface Water Utility with a schedule for completing the maintenance work.
Attached is my April 16'\ 2013 email to Montclair Heights that included the Maintenance Correction Report for
the stormwater detention pond (Facility ID # 145407). That report gives 60 days from the date of the report to
complete all required maintenance.
Sincerely,
Edward Mulhern

Maintenance (Critical Areas Excemption Required)
Red Category
The following is some background information to update you on recent correspondence with the Montclair Apartments
regarding the maintenance of their storm water facility and other background information related to the Victoria Hills
HOA letter to the Mayor.
The Surface Water Utility has been working with the Montclair Apartments representative to get the required City
Critical Area Exemption needed for them to perform the maintenance of their stormwater facility. Maintenance of their
storm water facility cannot be started until the City approves a Critical Area Exemption. The CAO exemption was
provided to the City on October 31, 2013 and is currently being reviewed by CED (see attached email). Our
expectation/assumption is that they will proceed with completing the required maintenance, once they obtain the
Critical Area Exemption. Attached is a record of events regarding the drainage problems due to the lack of maintenance
of the Montclair Apartments stormwater facility that summarizes our ongoing correspondence regarding the need for
maintenance. Attached is a copy of the February 6, 1989 agreement between the City and First City Developments
Corporation referenced in the Victoria Hills HOA letter (also attached). A map of the area draining to the Montclair
detention pond is also provided for your review.
The information is being provided for use in determining the course of action to take in response to the Victoria Hills
HOA letter to the Mayor.
Thanks

Larry,
I'm forwarding this letter along to you as well, since you were here in 1988-1989 and I'm sure remember this
development (Gregg and I got here in 1990, but I know folks were still talking about it). Is there really nothing the City
can do to get First City's successor (as I recall, they went bankrupt over the Black river corporate development) to honor
their drainage covenant?

MAYOR'S OFFICE

Mayor Denis Law
Renton City Hall
1055 S. Grady Way
Renton, WA 98057
Dear Mayor Law,
I am writing to you on behalf of a number of homeowners in Victoria Hills HOA. A persistent situation
resulting in flooding of several homes and yard property damage has not been resolved even after an
ongoing series of communications between homeowners, the City of Renton and the owners of the
Montclair Heights apartments over several years. The situation has been exacerbated again due to the
recent heavy rains.
•,
The agreement between the City of Renton and First City Developments Corporation dated February 6,
1989, specifically paragraph XV and the letter dated September 19, 1988 from Don Erickson, Zoning
Administrator to the Renton City Council, specifically paragraph 2 on page 4, document the City of
Renton's position that First City was responsible for A) developing a means to control the runoff from
the hillside and B) maintaining the retention pond on VHHA property. The terms of paragraph XV in the
February 6, 1989 letter document that responsibility for maintenance of the retention pond will pass on
to any and all future owners of the First City property.
In a number of recent emails and phone conversations with Surface Water engineers working for the
City of Renton Public Works Department and the current managers for the Montclair Heights
Apartments, Braddock & Logan Services, Inc., a California Company, Victoria Hills homeowners have
been told a number of things including:
' • The City of Renton does not have the "teeth" to compel the current owners of the apartment to
comply with this agreement.
• That the homeowners may sand bag their properties with sand bags available at the City of
Renton Public Works Department, without regard to the fact that the residents are elderly and
not physically able to do this.
• A representative for Braddock & Logan Services noted In correspondence that, "Our owners
were never made aware of any requirement regarding the detention pond below Montclair
Heights as part of the purchase of the property, ... the City of Renton has stated that the
detention was never maintained (or required to be maintained) by the City of Renton to any of
the previous Owners."
Page 1 of2
•
. .
Given the ongoing flooding taking place as a result of runoff from Montclair Heights, the demonstrable
inadequacy of the storm drains, drainage systems, retention/detention ponds, and erosion co"ntrol
devices, and the continued adverse effects to property infrastructure and values continues unabated,
Victoria Hills HOA requests that the City of Renton enforce the intent of these documents and require
the current owner of Montclair Heights to remedy the flooding suffered by the residents of Victoria Hills.
I think that this situation can be resolved. All pertinent documents are in the possession of the City of
Renton. Please advise me and the Victoria Hills HOA Board as to the next steps that you would propose
in order to bring a satisfactory resolution to this situation which continues to degrade property
infrastructure and values in our neighborhood.

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF RENTON AND FIRST CIT!'
DEVELOPMENTS CORPORATION ESTABLISHING CONDITIONS,
DEADLINES, AND PENALTIES FOR THE COMPLETION OF FPUD 042-85
(FIRST CITY DEVELOPMENTS CORPORATION-VICTORIA HILLS).
This agreement is made and entered into this ..2!!L day of
February, 1989, by and between the -City of Renton and First City
Developments Corporation,. and Victoria Hills I Limited Partnership
collectively referred to herein as "Developer."·
I. Introduction.
The project being developed by First City--Developments
Corporation is a second phase of a planned -unit development (POD}
which first received City of Renton approval more· than ten years
ago. Victoria Hills I Limited Partnership is the underlying
property owner. The first phase of the development was a single-
family dwelling plat. The second phase of the development is a
multi-family condominium or apartment complex. Final POD approval
for this project was obtained on July 14, 1986, pursuant to
Resolution No. 2656 (FPUD-042-85). Because of the topography of the
-site and extremely heavy rainfalls, the City of Renton stopped work
on the site and extended the completion date of the project.~ The
city· was approached by the developer, or a proposed successor . in
interest, one or more · times to amend the final PUD. The City
Council declined to permit those modifications . Subsequentl,y, to
partially alleviate concerns expressed by the _ single-family
neighbors,_ the developer proposed and the City Coun_cil approved, an
amendment ta the final PUD by Resolution No. 2742 adopted on October
3, 1988. That resolution adopted specific amendments to the final
POD subject, however, to specific conditions. Those conditions were
to be accomplished an or before January 14, 1989, and if so
accomplished, the time to complete the final PUD would be extended
to January 14, 1990. Those conditions were not accomplished on
time. The site is presently partially developed with incomplete
structures, devegetated slopes, and other conditions detrimental to
the public safety, health and welfare. This agreement attempts to
establish firm terms and conditions under which the final PUD may be
completed.
II. Transition.
A •. Lessening of Density.
In order to provide a better transition between the
adjoining single-family homes and this more dense multi-family
development, the following buildings will have a floor eliminated
and new building plans will be submitted for the buildings which
AGREEMENT RE VICTORIA HILLS PUD -l
have been reduced in height. Those buildings are: A-17, A-21, and
B-16. Buildings A-14, A-22, B-2, and B-3 are eliminated. With the
elimination of these additional floors and the elimination of the
buildings, and the corresponding elimination of certain housing
units, the density on the site will be less than that which would be
permitted under an R-2 density category under the_ city zoning code.
Those buildings that are the closest to the single-family homes are
those which have been reduced in height or eliminated. The total
number of housing units permitted under this agreement shall be a
maximum of 175, which includes the relocation of two buildings.
The developer shall have the right to locate two
further buildings on the site, ·but those buildings shall be located
in the center or east side of the project, removed from the single-
family neighborhood; For the purposes of this agreement, the two
additional buildings shall be considered part of Phase II for timing
as discussed in paragraphs III.Band III.C below.
Additionally, the developer shall have the right to
adjust any of its buildings presently containing three stories and
designated as an "A" building to a two-story building. For buildings
A-17 and A-21, the developer may lessen the housing units from six
units to five units per building. However, the developer, by making
such reduction, shall not be permitted to change the units to single
bedroom or studio units.
B. Timing for Building Permits.
Reduction in height of the buildings requires
submission of plans and requests for new building permits. It is
anticipated that the developer will require one month to prepare and
submit those plans. It is anticipated that the review process by
the city will take one to two months. If the developer files his
building plans for these shortened buildings within one month of
approval of a resolution adopting this agreement, and the plans are
substantially complete, and the building permits are issued within
one month of the submission of the plans, then the shortened
buildings shall be completed within the time-lines for Phase I of
this project, as detailed below. If the developer submits
substantially complete building permit applications within one month ,
of adoption of the resolution adopting this agreement, and the city
takes more than one month to issue the building permits, then the
developer will be granted a construction day for construction day
extension on Phase I for each day in delay in issuing the building
permits. Should the developer take more than one month to file
substantially complete building permit applications to the City of
Renton, beyond the date of resolution amending this final PUD, then
the city shall be granted an additional construction day for revi.ew
for each construction day of delay by the developer in filing the
AGREEMENT RE VICTORIA HILLS PUD -2
building plans, without addition of an extra construction day to the
completion date of Phase I of the final PUD.
III. Phasing.
In order to control development of this parcel and protect
the general public, this project shall be completed in two phases.
A. Phase I shall include all construction south and east
of Victoria Lane, including the roadway of Victoria Lane. However,
buildings B-14, B-15, B-16, and buildings relocated pursuant to
paragraph I .A shall not be included in Phase I as they are the
buildings located .. closest to the single-family residences, and
should Phase I not be completed on time and the project be declared
abandoned, then elimination of these buildings would provide
additional buffering to the adjoining single-family neighbors.
Additionally, these three buildings are located in the part of the
site that is the most weather-sensitive, and placing these buildings
in Phase II would result in them being developed in the drier
season, thereby providing less risk of earth movement, foundation
failure, or other weather-sensitive occurrences.
B. Phase II.
Shall consist of the remainder of the site, buildings
B-14, B-15, and B-16, and one of the relocated buildings,discussed
in paragraph II.A.
IV. Deadlines for Completion.
A, Definition of Completion,
As the term "completion• is used in this agreement,
it shall mean the construction of a building including foundation,
framing, and exterior finish. When the term "completion" is used
concerning a phase, "completion" shall include installation of
i;;treets, curbs and gutters, and landscaping. The term "completion"
in this agreement shall not include interior, plumbing, wiring, and
finishing. Completion of Phase I shall permit the developer to
proceed to Phase II. However, while Phase II is being worked upon,
the interior finishing work on Phase I shall be diligently pursued.
B. Completion of Phase I.
Phase I shall be completed within six months after
the day of adoption of a resolution amending this final PUD and
implementing this agreement.
AGREEMENT RE VICTORIA HILLS PUD -3
c. Phase II.
Phase II shall be commenced only if Phase I has been
completed within its completion date. Phase II shall then be
completed and all interiors for both Phase I and Phase II completed
six months after the completion date for Phase I, but not later than
January 15, 1990, unless that date has been extended pursuant to the
force majeure clause. For the purposes of this paragraph,
completion of the interiors shall include all usual and necessary
interior work, wiring, plumbing, texturing, carpeting, painting, and
all built-in fixtures and appliances. Completion of the interiors
shall not include punch-list work prior to building o.ccupancy,
The two relocated buildings shall be completed prior
to the e~iration of Phase II. The one relocated building contained
within the geographic boundaries of Phase I may be start;ed as part
of Phase I and completed during the time for Phase II, but only if
the remainder of Phase I is completed on time,
D. Force Majeure.
The only extensions of time that will be permitted
shall be periods under which the project has been shut down by the
Oversight Committee for such .factors as inclement weather, act of
God, or other threats to the public health, safety, and welfare,
when the developer has not contributed to the reasons for shut down.
In those instances, the developer will be granted an extension of
the completion date for any phase equivalent to the period under
which the project was shut down by the Oversight Committee. Phase I
may also be extended due to late processing of building permits as
detailed in paragraph II.B above.
V. Result of Missing Deadline.
A. Lapse.
Should the developer fail to complete Phase I by the
date established in paragraph IV.B above, then the project shall be
deemed abandoned, all approvals will expire according to their
terms, any right to develop undeE the final PUD shall lapse, and the
project area shall be returned to its prior predominant underlying
zoning designation, which is R-1.
On January 15, 1990, should there be no extensions
under the force majeure clause, the PUD approval shall lapse and no
longer be of any force or effect. There shall be no right to
petition the City Council for an additional extension of the PUD,
and FPUD 042-85 will be terminated. Any further development on the
site will require new applications and approvals from the City of
AGREEMENT RE VICTORIA HILLS PUD -4
Renton under the zoning and permit requirements in place at the time
of the application. Any rights of the developer to proceed under
FPUD 042-85 shall be terminated as of January 15, 1990, unless
extended under the force majeure clause.
Should it be necessary to have the zoning returned to
the prior predominant underlying zoning category, the community
development department will commence a city initiated rezone for the
property, and the City Council will consider and adopt the
appropriate rezone ordinance. In determining the property that will
be rezoned, the property underlying completed buildings will not be
considered as part of the rezoning. The community development
department will prepare a map for the City Council showing the
property associated with completed buildings, and the property
subject to rezoning.
B. Completion of Buildings.
Any building that is substantially completed at the
time of expiration of the completion date for either Phase I or
Phase II may be completed by the developer. However, the developer
will be required to pay ~ penalty to the City of Renton in· the
amount of $5,000. 00 in order to obtain the right to complete the
building. The term "substantially complete• shall mean that the
building foundation has been installed, the framing for the building
-has been completed, and the cedar siding and tile roofs have been
started.
C. Abatement.
Should any portion of the project not be complete
upon the passing of the deadline for that phase, and the project
deemed abandoned, any building that is not substantially complete
shall be removed, either by the developer or through use of the
bonding money discussed in section VI .A below. All non-essential
work on the site will be terminated. However, the developer, with
prior city approval, will be required to complete portions of the
project that are necessary to ensure the public health, safety, and
welfare, including connection of utilities to structures or
distribution systems and essential site work including filling and
compaction of utility trenches, final grading of the site, and
hydroseeding.
D. Calling of Bonds.
Prior to the City of Renton calling the bonds
detailed in VI below, the city shall make a written demand upon the
developer to complete the work covered by the bonds and shall
provide a reasonable opportunity for the developer to do so.
AGREEMENT RE VICTORIA HILLS PUD -5
To the extent that the developer cannot or will not
complete the work within a reasonable time, to a degree necessary to
protect the public health, safety, and welfare, then the City of
Renton will call the bonds for that work and either have the bonding
company obtain a contractor to perform the necessary work, or the
city will complete the work itself or through a city contractor
using the bond funds for payment.

XII. Amenity for Residential Co1DD1unity.
Realizing that this project has taken longer to complete
than anticipated, thus imposing a substantial burden on the
adjoining single-family residents, the developer agrees to donate
the sum of $5,000.00 to the Victoria Hills Homeowners' Association
for use in preparing an active and passive recreational site and
placing thereon recreational equipment and other amenities. The
title to the equipment and the responsibility for maintenance of the
equipment and the surrounding areas shall pass to the homeowners'
association upon its completion.
XIII. Fencing and Landscaping.
The developer shall install a six foot wooden fence
between the single-family homes and the multi-family development.
The fence shall also be, extended along the south boundary of the
project along s. 26th Street up to the i,ntersection of the south
boundary line of the project with Benson Road S. Additionally, the
developer shall install substantially sized trees along that fence
line to provide a buffer between the single-family and multi-family
development. The fence and trees shall be installed in a manner and
at such locations as to meet the approval of the city's landscape
architect, and the trees shall be planted in sufficient numbers so
as to provide the necessary screening and to maximize the trees'
chances of survival. The trees planted for screening shall be no
smaller than five feet tall and should generally be not less than
AGREEMENT RE VICTORIA HILLS PUD -9
ten to fifteen feet tall. If a tree is less than ten to fifteen
feet tall at the time of its installation, it shall be of a species
approved by the city's landscape architect for its screening ability
and it shall be placed at a location where it will provide immediate
screening of the site. The Victoria Hills Homeowners' Association
will be consulted as to the type and location of the trees and the
fence.
The fencing and landscaping between the single-family
neighborhood and the multiple-family development shall be installed
as soon as possible. However, the landscaping shall not be
installed at a time when its survival is threatened. Neither the
fencing or landscaping shall be installed at those locations where
it would be necessary to remove those improvements as part of the
reasonable development of the site or buildings, it being the intent
of this section that once installed the fencing and landscaping not
be removed due to later construction activities.
XIV. Limited Construction Access.
The developer shall limit construction access to the site
from . S.26th Street to emergency access only. All normal
construction access to the site shall be from Benson Road S.
directly to the site, using the main access road and other internal
roads within the.system.
XV. Retention Pond.
The developer agrees to assume maintenance and insurance
responsibility for the retention pond and to maintain that
responsibility both during construction and after acceptance of the
project henceforth, thereby removing all responsibility for
maintenance and insurance from the Victoria Hills Homeowners'
Association and making that responsibility totally the
responsibility of a multi-family portion of this project, its owners
and occupants. The developer shall impose upon the real estate a
covenant running with the land requiring the owner thereof to assume
the maintenance and insurance responsibility for the retention pond
and, should the housing be converted to condominiums, the covenant
will require the condominium owners to form an a.ssociation and
assume the maintenance and insurance responsibility as part of the
condominium owners' association.
XVI. Resolution.
It is understood by and between the parties that this
agreement is of no force and effect until implemented by adoption of
a resolution amending the final planned unit development herein by
the Renton City Council.
AGREEMENT RE VICTORIA HILLS PUD -10
XVII. Severability.
The provisions of this agreement are severable. If any
word, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this
agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstances,
is declared invalid, the remaining provisions and the application of
provisions to other persons and circumstances shall not be affected
thereby, but shall remain in full force and effect. The parties
hereto declare that they would have agreed to the remaining
provisions of this agreement without the word, phrase, clause,
sentence, paragraph, section or part, or the application thereof, so
held invalid.

Subject: FW: Letter from Victoria Hills HOA re VHHONMontclair Apts/First City Development &
drainage problems in neighborhood
Attachments: 20131104145357519.pdf
Attached is a letter to the Mayor from the Victoria Hills HOA regarding the need for the Montclair Apartments to
maintain their storm water facility and requesting that the City enforce the requirement for maintenance. I know you
have been working with Edward Mulhern and a representative from the Montclair Apartments (Braddock and Logan)
about the need to get a Critical Area Exemption from the City before they can perform maintenance on the stormwater
facility. What is the status of the City's CAO exemption needed for the Montclair Apartments to perform maintenance
on their stormwater facility? Has it been submitted to the City for review? I need to provide Gregg Zimmerman and Lys
Hornsby an update on the progress the Montclair Apartments is making on being able to maintain their stormwater
facility. We may need to take code enforcement action, depending upon their demonstration of progress and what is
decided in response to this letter to the Mayor.
Thanks

Larry,
IOA re: VHHOA/Montclair Apts/First Cit velopment & drainage problems in
I'm forwarding this letter along to you as well, since you were here in 1988-1989 and I'm sure remember this
development (Gregg and I got here in 1990, but I know folks were still talking about it). Is there really nothing the City
can do to get First City's successor (as I recall, they went bankrupt over the Black river corporate development) to honor
their drainage covenant?
