No. SA-689-72; site plan approval for new aircraft maintenance hangar in. P-1 zone; property located south end of Renton Airport .approximately 300 feet north of Airport Way The Chairman described the application, noting previous discus- sion on subject item. The Planning Director stated the new building structure is proposed to be located on the site of the Saari hangar to be removed (previous agenda item) . The new hangar will be approximately 22 'x44 ' with a cantilevered roof and will be a nose hangar facility. Slides were shown. Query was made regarding Airport Board approval of the new building. The applicant advised the Board did approve the new construction. The Chairman raised- a question regarding the site plan submitted with the application, stating he felt it was inadequate in that it did not locate the proposed building in relation to surround- ing structures. The applicant, Mr. Jack Volkel, stated the building will be placed exactly where the existing structure slated for reloca- tion is. Query was made of the applicant as to why the present hangar could not be utilized for servicing of large aircraft as it appears to have more floor area than proposed for the new hangar. The applicant replied that while the new building will be smaller in area, it will be six feet higher to accommodate larger aircraft. Following additional Commission comments concerning site plans, utilization of existing and proposed structures in relationship to the airport master plan, it was MOVED BY MOLA, SECONDED BY DENZER, THAT THE HEARING BE CLOSED. MOTION CARRIED. ACTION: MOVED BY MOLA, SECONDED BY DENZER, THAT THE SITE PLAN APPLICATION OF AERO-DYNE CORPORATION FOR NEW HANGAR BE APPROVED SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION THAT THE NEW CONSTRUCTION WILL BE BUILT ON THE SLAB CONTAINING THE EXISTING HENRY SAARI HANGAR TO BE RELOCATED. On the question, Seymour voiced strong opposition to the approval of the new hangar building due to its unsightliness and the fact that a site plan would be approved without actual submission of a site plan. MOTION CARRIED, SEYMOUR AND SCHOLES OPPOSED. b) MODERN MANUFACTURING INC. , Appl . No. SA-690-72 ; site plan approval and sign variance request for manufacturing facility in M-P zone; property located in Earlington Industrial Park on SW 7th St. between Earlington and Lind Aves . SW The Chairman described the application. The Planning Director reviewed background of the application and displayed the site plan and vicinity map. It is the intention of the applicant to construct a 32 ,400 square foot building at this time, with i Renton Planning Commission Meeting February 23 , 1972 Minutes - Page 5 future expansion proposed of approximately 30 , 000 additional square feet'. The plan as proposed meets the requirements of the Manufacturing Park zone with the exception of the sign which the applicant proposes to locate within the required 20-foot setback area. 2 variance to allow this is also requested at this time. Slides of the property and the plans were shown. Mr. Leroy Lowe, architect for the applicant, spoke on behalf of the application. The Planning Director noted that City of Renton code requires that before variances may be granted hardship must be shown which is unusual to the property, or condition which is dif- ferent from adjacent property. Staff review indicates that no hardship exists in this case that would warrant granting of a variance to allow placement of the sign closer than 20 feet from the property line. The sign proposed by the applicant would be clearly visible set back as required by ordinance. Further, no sign variance has been granted to date in the Earlington Industrial Park either by the Planning Commission or the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Lowe stated he had persuaded Mr. Olson of Modern Manufac- turing to allow him to design a more tasteful sign than the neon sign originally slated for the building. The Commission commended Mr. Lowe on the design. It was generally felt this same sign could be utilized in a location which would meet the require- ments of the Manufacturing Park zone . Following some additional discussion concerning this matter, Mr. Keyes of the architect' s staff stated they would withdraw the request for sign location variance. MOVED BY DENZER, SECONDED BY ROSS, THAT THE HEARING BE CLOSED. MOTION CARRIED. ACTION: MOVED BY DENZER, SECONDED BY SCHOLES, THAT THE SITE APPROVAL APPLICATION OF MODERN MANUFACTURING BE GRANTED SUBJECT TO LAND- SCAPING MODIFICATIONS AND RELOCATION OF SIGN TO BE APPROVED BY ' THE rLANNING DEPARTMENT. MOTION CARRIED. 5 . ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE REPORT a) COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMITTEE--Coal Creek Sanitary Landfill The Chairman noted this matter was presented in the form of a committee report at the last meeting with oral report by Scholes, committee chairman. Committee of the Whole action was deferred to present meeting. Commission comments were invited. Seymour stated the committee recommendation suggesting that City Council letter be sent to King County requesting delay in any commitment concerning Coal Creek is a logical one. Humble stated he has learned since last meeting that operations at Coal Creek could be underway, after approval of the permit, within a much shorter period of time than he originally had thought possible. Further discussion ensued among Commission members concerning subject matter. The city will participate in the formulation of area-wide plans for solid waste disposal.

No. SA-690-72; site plan approval and sign variance request for manufacturing facility , to be located in Earlington Industrial Park on SW 7th Street between Earlington and Lind Ayes. SW In addition to site plan approval, the applicant also requests a variance to locate a sign denoting the name of the company approximately three feet from the property line within the required twenty-foot setback area.

REFERRAL 1) Review of Comprehensive Land Use Plan for certain properties located between Maple Valley Highway and the Cedar River presently indicated as medium density multi- family residential--Planning Commission recommendation requested The Planning Director reviewed the Council referral and described the location of the certain properties mentioned in the referral. The Chairman recalled that the Planning Commission had previously established the policy of Comprehensive Land Use Plan review on an annual basis upon application of concerned property owners. The City Council was informed of this policy decision. ACTION: MOVED BY SEYMOUR, SECONDED BY SCHOLES, THAT IN RESPONSE TO COUNCIL REFERRAL, ADVISE THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS ESTABLISHED THE POLICY OF COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN REVIEW ANNUALLY IN THE FALL OF EACH YEAR AND WOULD BE GLAD TO CONSIDER SUBJECT REFERRAL AT THAT TIME PROVIDED THE PROPERTY OWNER MAKES PROPER APPLICATION.. MOTION CARRIED. b) PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE The Chairman noted receipt of suggestions from Mr. Hugh Gold- smith concerning the proposed Planned Unit Development ordinance and requested that staff furnish each Commission member with a copy. Due to this new input and the lateness of the hour , discussion of proposed revisions and amendments to the Planned Unit Development ordinance will be postponed until the meeting of March 8 , 1972 . c) COMMITTEE REPORTS 1) COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMITTEE--Committee Chairman Scholes called attention to his report concerning the Coal Creek Sanitary Landfill matter which has been furnished each Commission member. Scholes presented a detailed oral report of his committee' s meeting with Mr. Bob Snow, a resident of the area, who had presented his reasons for opposing the proposed sanitary landfill site. The committee feels the city should participate in the preparation of a master plan for solid waste disposal.

Mr. Gary Kruger Dear Mr. Kruger: Modern Manufacturing, Inc. desires to purchase a plot in the Earlington Industrial Park No. 1 and erect a manu- facturing facility. The specific plot of interest is plot No. 4 located on the southeast corner of S.W. Seventh Ave. and Earlington Ave. S.E, , directly across the street from the Geo. A. Hormel Company. Modern is a growing manufacturing concern, dealing primarily in commercial products, Boeing aircraft components, and miscellaneous manufacturing support to. other industries in the Seattle. area. Our current employment is approximately 50 of which 15 are office or supervisors and 35 production or production support personnel. Modern recently completed the development of the novel Kangaroo Kitchen which is currently sold nationwide and is manufactured and assembled by Modern. Our manufacturing is primarily sheet metal components, small assemblies, and some skin milling. All of the equipment used by Modern is electrical _pr air-powered and no fumes, smoke, or pollutants are generated in our normal business operation. Manufacturing consists of tool and die work, sheet metal shearing, stamping and forming, small assemblies involving riveting, spot welding and hand assembly, welding, skin mill- ing, limited machining, and packaging and shipping. In addi- tion, Modern is involved in sales, promotion, engineering, and new product development. PRODUCTS FOR YOUR WORLD Our general plans for the Earlington site are to con- struct an office and manufacturing building. The office will be approximately 6,000 sq. ft. and the adjoining manu- facturing facility will occupy approximately 30,000 sq. ft. All operations will be performed under roof with the possi- ble exception of loading and unloading. The general con- struction will consist of eight-foot exposed aggregrate tilt-up for the office and lower portion of the manufacturing section with an additional 12 foot vertical metal siding on the manufacturing section. Guest parking and employee parking will be located at the front and side of the building with loading and unloading provisions at the side, rear, and railroad siding portions of the building. We wish to permanently locate our facility in an area that is well maintained and in which we may add to the general plan. It is for these reasons that we selected the Earlington Industrial Park and in particular, plot No. 4. In keeping with the fine landscaping and architectual designs of Hormel and Stanley, Modern plans to also add by proper facility and landscaping design. We trust our plans and use of plot No. 4 in the Earlington Industrial Park No. 1 meet with your approval so that we may proceed with more detailed plans for your approval. Thank you for your attention in this matter. Very truly yours, MODERN MANUFACTURING, INC. Claude T. Olson Project Manager CTO/mc cc a.. I`1 1.%r 1 101s jar' LEROY C. LOWE 0114 A.I.A.
