Applicant requested Site Plan approval, Environmental
Review, and Variance for the removal of the existing
substation and replacement with a new substation.
Development Services Recommendation: Approve with
conditions
The Development Services Report was received by the
Examiner on June 20, 2006.
PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Development Services Report, examining
available information on file with the application, field
checking the property and surrounding area; the Examiner
conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows:

Exhibit No. 9: ERC Mitigation Measures
The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Jill Ding, Senior Planner, Development Services,
City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The property is located on the west side of
Union Avenue NE and north of NE 4ffi Street. It is in the Commercial Arterial Zoning Designation and also
within the NE 4d' Street Corridor Business District. The Comprehensive Plan Designation is Commercial
Corridor. The site area is approximately 43,840 square feet (1.03 acres).
There is an existing substation on the subject property which has reached its design life and needs to be
replaced. The proposed substation would be constructed using current technology and would provide four
outgoing electric distribution circuits. They will also include the construction of the necessary civil
infrastructure for future substation expansion. In the next five to ten years there will be a need to "double bank"
the President Park substation and expand the number of outgoing distribution circuits from four to eight, this
expansion would be to the west of the existing substation footprint.
The existing site conditions are proposed to be altered to accommodate the proposed facilities and allow for the
use of a mobile substation during construction. Off site improvements are proposed including the replacement
of electric transmission and distribution poles and the underground placement of a portion of the electric
distribution wire.
Access to the site would be along Union Avenue NE. There is an existing driveway along the southern
property line and a new driveway has been proposed along the northern property line. Approximately 3,500
yards of soil will be removed causing the site to be lowered by approximately three feet.
The one proposed retaining wall would be set back 12 feet from the side property line and 35 feet from the rear
property line. The maximum height would be six feet. The applicant has also proposed a 10-foot high slatted
chain link fence around the electric facilities. A variance has been requested for the construction of this fence.
The Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non -Significance — Mitigated with 2
mitigation measures. No appeals were filed.
The site is consistent with the Utilities Element for the Comprehensive Plan. The subject property also complies
with the minimum lot size, width and depth requirements for the CA zone and the NE 4" Street Corridor
Business District.
The subject property abuts a residentially zoned parcel to the north; therefore a landscaped visual barrier would
be required along the northern property line. All landscaping will need to be fully irrigated unless drought
tolerant plants are used.
The proposal is not anticipated to adversely affect the surrounding properties as a substation currently occupies
the subject site. The applicant has submitted a Construction Mitigation Plan outlining mitigation measures to be
employed for minimizing dust, noise and traffic impacts during construction.

Page 3
The substation would comply with all of the requirements for the location of a Medium Utility use on the
subject property.
Fire Department, Police and Parks have indicated existing facilities are adequate to accommodate the subject
proposal.
Variance Criteria:
The variance is required for the proposed 10-foot high fence. The maximum allowed is 8-feet. The proposed
substation required adequate safety, security and screening from the adjacent parcels. The overall elevation is
proposed to be lowered by three feet and will provide accessibility for maintenance and emergency equipment.
With that, the adjacent parcels will become elevated and so a higher level of security, safety and screening is
needed_
The applicant contends that electric substations are unique quasi -public facilities that need to be isolated from
the general public for safety and security reasons.
Andy Markos, Puget Sound Energy, 3130 S 38"' Street, Tacoma, WA 98409 stated that he is the applicant's
agent for this project. They agree with all the items brought forward today. The large expansion will be in the
future, major changes today will be underground. The mobile substation will not be at this location during the
construction. In the future, if this substation should go out of commission, a mobile unit can be brought in,
parked behind the fence and use it while repairs are being made to the substation.
There will be concrete foundations and mounted on those foundations will be electrical equipment that is
capable of withstanding the elements. There are no building structures other than the concrete foundations.
The tallest electrical equipment within the fence line will be dead end towers, the transmission line comes in off
the street to the dead end tower and across the switch gear to the transformer, which lowers the voltage to
distribution voltage and then goes through a series of capacitors and electrical equipment and then is sent out
through the distribution system underground into the local system. The dead end towers are 35-feet tall.
There will be irrigation for the landscaping and it will be connected through Union Avenue. The landscaping
and vegetation will be outside the fence.
Ms. Ding stated that the fence would be approximately 95-feet from Union Avenue NE.
Barry Lombard, 355 110a` Avenue NE, Bellevue, WA 98004 stated that he is the project manager for this
project. The area in the front is bermed and will not be graded, additional landscaping will be added to the front
side of the site.
This project will improve the reliability of the substation, the equipment is very old and some of the switches are
actually outside of the station. They will be removed and put inside the station. This station will now loop the
transmission line. A looped facility enhances the reliability to local users. Also having the room to bring in a
mobile station and park it within the fenced area is a great step to enhancing the reliability of service.
The Examiner asked if there was an option to a better fencing than cyclone, at least the frontage that would be
more esthetic to the public.
Mr. Lombard stated that the landscaping provides a good cover for the fence. Once the landscaping matures, the
fence is not even visible.

The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and
no further comments from: staff. The hearing closed at 9:44 am.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
The applicant, Andy Markos, Pugct Sound Energy, filed a request for a Site Plan Approval and
Variance to allow replacement of an electrical substation by a new upgraded facility and surrounded by
a ten -foot (10') fence.
2. The yellow file containing the staff report, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) documentation
and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official issued a Determination of
Non -Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M).
4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
There was no opposition from the public regarding the subject proposal.
6. The subject site is located at 475 Union Avenue NE. The subject site is located on the west side of
Union just north of NE 4th Place. An existing substation is already located on the subject site.
7. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is Iocated as
suitable for the development of commercial uses, but does not mandate such development without
consideration of other policies of the Plan.
The subject site is currently zoned CA (Commercial Arterial). Property to the north is zoned R-10
(Residential) while the rest of the surrounding property is also zoned CA.
9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 1480 enacted in April 1954.
10. The subject site is 43,840 square feet or 1.03 acres. The subject site is almost rectangular although the
south property line contains a minor jog. The parcel is approximately 295 feet deep (east to west) by
145 feet wide.
11. The subject site contains sensitive slopes along the east and west property lines and contains less steep
slopes along the north property line. The applicant proposes altering these slopes and lowering the
elevation of the site by approximately three feet (3'). This work would result in approximately 3,500
cubic yards of materials being exported from the site.
12. The applicant proposes replacing the existing substation with a new modern facility. The existing
facility has reached the end of its useful life. The new facility will handle the present load and be able
to provide capacity for future expansion. Future expansion would be contained in the existing footprint
delineated by the proposed fencing. The facility is also being designed to allow it to function if a line
goes down on either side of its distribution system by creating a looped system.

13. The grade change is proposed to accommodate the installation of new equipment, servicing the facility
and to allow easier access in the event mobile substation equipment is required on the site.
14. The current loads will be handled by other equipment while this site is modified.
15. The complex consists of not only the substation ground units but also overhead lines and other
apparatus.
16. Currently the site is protected or surrounded by an eight -foot (8) fence. Due to the existing topography
that fence height has been sufficient to protect the site and ward off intrusions and avoid what is
commonly known as "attractive nuisance" issues. After the topographic changes proposed, an eight -foot
fence will offer less protection since surrounding terrain will now be relatively higher. The applicant
has, therefore, proposed installing a ten -foot (10') tall fence to protect the site and equipment. Code
limits fence heights to eight feet and the applicant has requested a variance to allow the 10-foot fence.
17. The applicant has proposed using a slatted, chainlink fence. The fence will be interior from the actual
property line. At its closest it would be 10 feet from the south property line. It would be setback
approximately 95 feet from the street or front property line.
18. The regrading will require a 6-foot retaining wall and it would be approximately 12 feet from the north
property line and 35 feet from the west or rear property line.
19. Existing landscaping would be retained. There would be a 73 foot wide landscaped area along Union,
the front of the complex whereas only 10 feet is required along a street. The existing hedge along the
north property line would be retained and the applicant proposes a 10-foot landscape barrier along this
north property line to buffer the residentially zoned property north of the site whereas normally a
fifteen -foot (IY) separation is required. It may be reduced to the 10 feet proposed. There would be a
54-foot rear landscaped area. The south property line would contain narrower landscaping that varies
between 5 and 9 feet wide due to the jog in the property line in that location. While multiple family
housing lies south of the site, it is on similarly zoned, Commercial Arterial property. The landscaping
will be irrigated.
20. Access to the site would be via two driveways linking the subject site to Union Avenue NE. The
existing driveway along the south property fine would be complemented by a second driveway along the
north property line. The driveways would be gated back from the street.
CONCLUSIONS:
Variance
Variances may be granted when the property generally satisfies all the conditions described in part
below:
a. The applicant suffers undue hardship caused by special circumstances such as: the size, shape,
topography, or location where code enforcement would deprive the owner of rights and
privileges enjoyed by others similarly situated;
b. The granting of the variance would not materially harm either the public welfare or other
property in the vicinity;
President Park Substation
File No.: LUA-06-048, SA -A, ECF, V-A
July 11, 2006
Page 6
C. The approval will not constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other
property in the vicinity; and
d. The variance is the minimum variance necessary to allow reasonable development of the subject
site.
2. The applicant's property is in need of a variance in order to protect the pubic healthy safety and welfare
although the first criterion is a Iittle hard to satisfy. It is the use rather than the subject site, which is
unique. The topography while somewhat constrained does not make this site any more unique than any
other site if normal development were proposed. It would be bound by the same fence height
limitations as any other property. But the nature of the use, an electrical substation, a needed public
utility, makes it necessary to protect the use from intrusions by the general public, vandals and
particularly children who might be tempted by what was termed above, "an attractive nuisance." The
higher terrain surrounding the site makes a higher fence necessary in order to protect the substation
equipment from damage and also to protect the public from the high voltages found in the vicinity of the
complex.
3. A substation along with a fence is already located on the subject site. While the proposed fence will be
taller than the one already protecting the older equipment, it will be screened by a combination of
existing mature landscaping materials as well as new plantings. The fence is located somewhat to the
interior along its north and south property lines and well interior along its front and rear property lines.
The fence is intended to actually preserve the public welfare, particularly, life -safety and should not
materially harm the public.
4. The use is a recognized medium utility and all similar utilities would be judged by the same standards.
Approving the variance is not inconsistent with the limitations on other property in the area,
particularly, other utilities.
5. The proposed fence height appears to be reasonably designed to keep out intruders and to prevent
projectiles from being tossed easily over the fence.
6. In conclusion, while it might be appropriate for the City Council to make provisions for public utilities
to exceed the fence height in certain circumstances, the variance is appropriate as a matter of life -safety.
Site Plan
7. The site plan ordinance provides a number of specific criteria for reviewing a site plan. Those criteria
are generally represented in part by the following enumeration:
a. Conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
b. Conformance with the Building and Zoning Codes;
Mitigation of impacts on surrounding properties and uses;
d. Mitigation of the impacts of the proposal on the subject site itself,
e. Conservation of property values;
f. Provision for safe and efficient vehicle and pedestrian circulation;

July 11, 2006
Page 7
g. Provision of adequate light and air;
h. Adequacy of public services to accommodate the proposed use;
The proposed use satisfies these and other particulars of the ordinance.
The comprehensive plan designates the area for commercial purposes and also acknowledges that public
utilities are necessary for an urban community. The proposed substation is more akin to a commercial
use than a residential use. It certainly provides a necessary urban service - the safe and efficient
distribution of electrical power for both commercial and residential purposes.
9. The CA zone allows for commercial uses designated in the comprehensive plan but also does permit the
development of medium utilities but generally subject to Conditional Use Permit review. Staff
determined that the replacement of older equipment for more modem equipment would be subject to
Site Plan review but that a Conditional Use hearing was not necessary. The proposed replacement of a
new substation does appear permitted in the CA zone. The complex other than the fence, discussed
above, meets the other bulk standards for the zone. The use does not need arterial or street exposure for
the selling of goods and services so that a larger than normal front yard setback is not unwarranted. As
a matter of fact the nature of the use makes some seclusion appropriate.
10. The property will be fenced as noted and landscaping will be on the exterior of the fencing, screening
and buffering the project from surrounding uses. Normally, a fifteen -foot landscape separation is
required between commercial and residential uses_ The applicant will be providing only 10 feet of
landscaping along the north property line, a property line it shares in common with a residential zone
and property. The applicant shall provide dense, sight -obscuring landscaping along this property line.
Staff should further review the proposed materials for the north property line and make sure that the
materials will provide a dense, view obscuring buffer and one that does not take years to achieve. If
necessary larger caliper plants shall be required or even temporary measures to appropriately screen the
site.
11. The applicant will be leveling the topography to make access and maintenance easier. The replacement
of like for like, that is one substation for another, will hopefully, not create any new impacts whether it
be noise of power lines or audible sounds of switching equipment. The two driveways all allow easier
circulation to and from Union for the larger equipment or service trucks.
12. The redevelopment of the site should not affect property values.
13. As noted, the new driveway will aid circulation and pedestrian access is not an attribute of a facility
such as this one.
14. The structures proposed should not block light and air from surrounding properties and are not an issue
for the interior of this facility.
15. Appropriate public services have served the subject site and should continue to adequately serve the
subject site and equipment.

Applicant requested Site Plan approval, Environmental
Review, and Variance for the removal of the existing
substation and replacement with a new substation.
Development Services Recommendation: Approve with
conditions
The Development Services Report was received by the
Examiner on June 20, 2006.
After reviewing the Development Services Report, examining
available information on file with the application, field
checking the property and surrounding area; the Examiner
conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows:

The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Jill Dina, Senior Planner, Development Services,
City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The property is located on the west side of
Union Avenue NE and north of NE 4"' Street. It is in the Commercial Arterial Zoning Designation and also
within the NE 4"' Street Corridor Business District. The Comprehensive Plan Designation is Commercial
Corridor. The site area is approximately 43,840 square feet (1.03 acres).
There is an existing substation on the subject property which has reached its design life and needs to be
replaced. The proposed substation would be constructed using current technology and would provide four
outgoing electric distribution circuits. They will also include the construction of the necessary civil
infrastructure for future substation expansion. In the next Eve to ten years there will be a need to "double bank"
the President Park substation and expand the number of outgoing distribution circuits from four to eight, this
expansion would be to the west of the existing substation footprint.
The existing site conditions are proposed to be altered to accommodate the proposed facilities and allow for the
use of a mobile substation during construction. Off site improvements are proposed including the replacement
of electric transmission and distribution poles and the underground placement of a portion of the electric
distribution wire.
Access to the site would be along Union Avenue NE. There is an existing driveway aIong the southern
property line and a new driveway has been proposed along the northern property line. Approximately 3,500
yards of soil will be removed causing the site to be lowered by approximately three feet.
The one proposed retaining wall would be set back 12 feet from the side property line and 35 feet from the rear
property line. The maximum height would be six feet. The applicant has also proposed a 10-foot high slatted
chain link fence around the electric facilities. A variance has been requested for the construction of this fence.
The Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non -Significance — Mitigated with 2
mitigation measures. No appeals were filed.
The site is consistent with the Utilities Element for the Comprehensive Plan. The subject property also complies
with the minimum lot size, width and depth requirements for the CA zone and the NE 4 h Street Corridor
Business District.
The subject property abuts a residentially zoned parcel to the north; therefore a landscaped visual barrier would
be required along the northern property line. All landscaping will need to be fully irrigated unless drought
tolerant plants are used.
The proposal is not anticipated to adversely affect the surrounding properties as a substation currently occupies
the subject site. The applicant has submitted a Construction Mitigation Plan outlining mitigation measures to be
employed for minimizing dust, noise and traffic impacts during construction.

July 11, 2006
Page 3
The substation would comply with all of the requirements for the location of a Medium Utility use on the
subject property.
Fire Department, Police and Parks have indicated existing facilities are adequate to accommodate the subject
proposal.
Variance Criteria:
The variance is required for the proposed 10-foot high fence. The maximum allowed is 8-feet. The proposed
substation required adequate safety, security and screening from the adjacent parcels. The overall elevation is
proposed to be lowered by three feet and will provide accessibility for maintenance and emergency equipment.
With that, the adjacent parcels will become elevated and so a higher level of security, safety and screening is
needed.
The applicant contends that electric substations are unique quasi -public facilities that need to be isolated from
the general public for safety and security reasons.
Andy Markos_, Puget Sound Energy, 3130 S 38`h Street, Tacoma, WA 98409 stated that he is the applicant's
agent for this project. They agree with all the items brought forward today. The large expansion will be in the
future, major changes today will be underground_ The mobile substation will not be at this location during the
construction. In the future, if this substation should go out of commission, a mobile unit can be brought in,
parked behind the fence and use it while repairs are being made to the substation.
There will be concrete foundations and mounted on those foundations will be electrical equipment that is
capable of withstanding the elements. There are no building structures other than the concrete foundations.
The tallest electrical equipment within the fence line will be dead end towers, the transmission line comes in off
the street to the dead end tower and across the switch gear to the transformer, which lowers the voltage to
distribution voltage and then goes through a series of capacitors and electrical equipment and then is sent out
through the distribution system underground into the local system. The dead end towers are 35-feet tall.
There will be irrigation for the landscaping and it will be connected through Union Avenue. The landscaping
and vegetation will be outside the fence.
Ms. Din stated that the fence would be approximately 95-feet from Union Avenue NE.
Barry Lombard, 355 110th Avenue NE, Bellevue, WA 98004 stated that he is the project manager for this
project. The area in the front is bermed and will not be graded, additional landscaping will be added to the front
side of the site.
This project will improve the reliability of the substation, the equipment is very old and some of the switches are
actually outside of the station. They will be removed and put inside the station. This station will now loop the
transmission line. A looped facility enhances the reliability to local users. Also having the room to bring in a
mobile station and park it within the fenced area is a great step to enhancing the reliability of service.
The Examiner asked if there was an option to a better fencing than cyclone, at least the frontage that would be
more esthetic to the public.
Mr. Lombard stated that the landscaping provides a good cover for the fence. Once the landscaping matures, the
fence is not even visible.

The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and
no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 9:44 am.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS;
The applicant, Andy Markos, Puget Sound Energy, filed a request for a Site Plan Approval and
Variance to allow replacement of an electrical substation by a new upgraded facility and surrounded by
a ten -foot (10') fence.
2. The yellow file containing the staff report, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) documentation
and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official issued a Determination of
Non -Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M).
4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
There was no opposition from the public regarding the subject proposal.
6. The subject site is Iocated at 475 Union Avenue NE. The subject site is located on the west side of
Union just north of NE 4th Place. An existing substation is already located on the subject site.
T The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of commercial uses, but does not mandate such development without
consideration of other policies of the Plan.
8. The subject site is currently zoned CA (Commercial Arterial). Property to the north is zoned R-10
(Residential) while the rest of the surrounding property is also zoned CA.
9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 1480 enacted in April 1954.
10. The subject site is 43,840 square feet or 1.03 acres. The subject site is almost rectangular although the
south property line contains a minor jog. The parcel is approximately 295 feet deep (east to west) by
145 feet wide.
11. The subject site contains sensitive slopes along the east and west property lines and contains less steep
slopes along the north property line. The applicant proposes altering these slopes and lowering the
elevation of the site by approximately three feet (3). This work would result in approximately 3,500
cubic yards of materials being exported from the site.
12. The applicant proposes replacing the existing substation with a new modern facility. The existing
facility has reached the end of its useful life. The new facility will handle the present load and be able
to provide capacity for future expansion. Future expansion would be contained in the existing footprint
delineated by the proposed fencing. The facility is also being designed to allow it to function if a line
goes down on either side of its distribution system by creating a looped system.
President Park Substation
File No.: LUA-06-048, SA -A, ECF, V-A
July 11, 2006
Page 5
13. The grade change is proposed to accommodate the installation of new equipment, servicing the facility
and to allow easier access in the event mobile substation equipment is required on the site.
14. The current loads will be handled by other equipment while this site is modified.
15. The complex consists of not only the substation ground units but also overhead lines and other
apparatus.
16. Currently the site is protected or surrounded by an eight -foot (8') fence. Due to the existing topography
that fence height has been sufficient to protect the site and ward off intrusions and avoid what is
commonly known as "attractive nuisance" issues. After the topographic changes proposed, an eight -foot
fence will offer less protection since surrounding terrain will now be relatively higher. The applicant
has, therefore, proposed installing a ten -foot (10') tall fence to protect the site and equipment. Code
limits fence heights to eight feet and the applicant has requested a variance to allow the 10-foot fence.
17. The applicant has proposed using a slatted, chainlink fence. The fence will be interior from the actual
property line. At its closest it would be 10 feet from the south property line. It would be setback
approximately 95 feet from the street or front property line.
18. The regrading will require a 6-foot retaining wall and it would be approximately 12 feet from the north
property line and 35 feet from the west or rear property line.
19. Existing landscaping would be retained. There would be a 73 foot wide landscaped area along Union,
the front of the complex whereas only 10 feet is required along a street. The existing hedge along the
north property line would be retained and the applicant proposes a 10-foot landscape barrier along this
north property line to buffer the residentially zoned property north of the site whereas normally a
fifteen -foot (IY) separation is required. It may be reduced to the 10 feet proposed. There would be a
54-foot rear landscaped area. The south property line would contain narrower landscaping that varies
between 5 and 9 feet wide due to the jog in the property line in that location. While multiple family
housing lies south of the site, it is on similarly zoned, Commercial Arterial property. The landscaping
will be irrigated.
20. Access to the site would be via two driveways linking the subject site to Union Avenue NE. The
existing driveway along the south property line would be complemented by a second driveway along the
north property line. The driveways would be gated back from the street.
CONCLUSIONS:
Variance
Variances may be granted when the property generally satisfies all the conditions described in part
below:
The applicant suffers undue hardship caused by special circumstances such as: the size, shape,
topography, or location where code enforcement would deprive the owner of rights and
privileges enjoyed by others similarly situated;
b. The granting of the variance would not materially harm either the public welfare or other
property in the vicinity;
President Park Substation
File No.: LUA-06-048, SA -A, ECF, V-A
July 11, 2006
Page 6
C. The approval will not constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other
property in the vicinity; and
d. The variance is the minimum variance necessary to allow reasonable development of the subject
site.
2. The applicant's property is in need of a variance in order to protect the pubic healthy safety and welfare
although the first criterion is a little hard to satisfy. It is the use rather than the subject site, which is
unique. The topography while somewhat constrained does not make this site any more unique than any
other site if normal development were proposed. It would be bound by the same fence height
limitations as any other property. But the nature of the use, an electrical substation, a needed public
utility, makes it necessary to protect the use from intrusions by the general public, vandals and
particularly children who might be tempted by what was termed above, "an attractive nuisance." The
higher terrain surrounding the site makes a higher fence necessary in order to protect the substation
equipment from damage and also to protect the public from the high voltages found in the vicinity of the
complex.
A substation along with a fence is already located on the subject site. While the proposed fence will be
taller than the one already protecting the older equipment, it will be screened by a combination of
existing mature landscaping materials as well as new plantings. The fence is located somewhat to the
interior along its north and south property lines and well interior along its front and rear property lines.
The fence is intended to actually preserve the public welfare, particularly, life -safety and should not
materially harm the public.
4. The use is a recognized medium utility and all similar utilities would be judged by the same standards.
Approving the variance is not inconsistent with the limitations on other property in the area,
particularly, other utilities.
5. The proposed fence height appears to be reasonably designed to keep out intruders and to prevent
projectiles from being tossed easily over the fence.
6. In conclusion, while it might be appropriate for the City Council to make provisions for public utilities
to exceed the fence height in certain circumstances, the variance is appropriate as a matter of life -safety.
Site Plan
The site plan ordinance provides a number of specific criteria for reviewing a site plan. Those criteria
are generally represented in part by the following enumeration:
a. Conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
b. Conformance with the Building and Zoning Codes;
C. Mitigation of impacts on surrounding properties and uses;
d. Mitigation of the impacts of the proposal on the subject site itself;
Conservation of property values;
f. Provision for safe and efficient vehicle and pedestrian circulation;
President Park Substation
File No.: LUA-06-048, SA -A, ECF, V-A
July 11, 2006
Page 7
g. Provision of adequate light and air;
h. Adequacy of public services to accommodate the proposed use;
The proposed use satisfies these and other particulars of the ordinance.
8. The comprehensive plan designates the area for commercial purposes and also acknowledges that public
utilities are necessary for an urban community. The proposed substation is more akin to a commercial
use than a residential use. It certainly provides a necessary urban service - the safe and efficient
distribution of electrical power for both commercial and residential purposes.
9. The CA zone allows for commercial uses designated in the comprehensive plan but also does permit the
development of medium utilities but gcncrally subject to Conditional Use Permit review. Staff
determined that the replacement of older equipment for more modern equipment would be subject to
Site Plan review but that a Conditional Use hearing was not necessary. The proposed replacement of a
new substation does appear permitted in the CA zone. The complex other than the fence, discussed
above, meets the other bulk standards for the zone. The use does not need arterial or street exposure for
the selling of goods and services so that a larger than normal front yard setback is not unwarranted. As
a matter of fact the nature of the use makes some seclusion appropriate.
10. The property will be fenced as noted and landscaping will be on the exterior of the fencing, screening
and buffering the project from surrounding uses. Normally, a fifteen -foot landscape separation is
required between commercial and residential uses. The applicant will be providing only 10 feet of
landscaping along the north property line, a property line it shares in common with a residential zone
and property. The applicant shall provide dense, sight -obscuring landscaping along this property line.
Staff should further review the proposed materials for the north property line and make sure that the
materials will provide a dense, view obscuring buffer and one that does not take years to achieve_ If
necessary larger caliper plants shall be required or even temporary measures to appropriately screen the
site.
11. The applicant will be leveling the topography to make access and maintenance easier. The replacement
of like for like, that is one substation for another, will hopefully, not create any new impacts whether it
be noise of power lines or audible sounds of switching equipment. The two driveways all allow easier
circulation to and from Union for the larger equipment or service trucks.
12. The redevelopment of the site should not affect property values.
13. As noted, the new driveway will aid circulation and pedestrian access is not an attribute of a facility
such as this one.
14. The structures proposed should not block light and air from surrounding properties and are not an issue
for the interior of this facility.
15. Appropriate public services have served the subject site and should continue to adequately serve the
subject site and equipment.

G. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
The existing electric distribution substation has reached the design life and therefore needs to be
replaced. The proposed substation would replace the existing substation and would be constructed using
current technology. At completion, the new facility would operate at the same service capacity as the
existing facility by providing 4 outgoing electric distribution circuits. In addition, the proposal would also
include the construction of the necessary civil infrastructure (i.e_ concrete foundations and underground
conduit system) for future substation expansion. The applicant indicates that in the next 5 to 10 years
there will be a need to "double bank' the President Park substation and expand the number of outgoing
distribution circuits from 4 to 8. The location of the proposed expansion would be to the west of the
existing substation footprint.
The existing site conditions are proposed to be altered to accommodate the proposed facilities, and allow
for the use of a "mobile substation" during construction and/or an emergency. in addition, off site
improvements are proposed including the replacement of electric transmission and distribution poles as
well as underground placement of a portion of the electric distribution wire_ No frontage improvements are
proposed at this location.
Access to the subject site would be provide onto Union Avenue NE via an existing driveway, which is
located along the southern property line and a new proposed secondary driveway, which would be located
along the northern property line. The second driveway is proposed to provided construction and
emergency access for the operation of the electric facilities.
Sensitive Slopes (slopes with between a 25% and 40% grade) are located along the eastern property line
and the western property line. The proposed grading activities would reduce these slopes such that they
would not meet the sensitive slopes criteria. Approximately 3,500 cubic yards of material is proposed to
be removed as a result of the construction of the project, which would result in the overall elevation of the
site being lowered by 3 feet. The project site is underlain by Alderwood gravelly sandy loam.

One retaining wall is proposed to be constructed on the northwestern portion of the subject site. The
retaining wall would be setback 12 feet from the side property line and 35 feet from the rear property line.
The maximum height of the retaining wall would be 6 feet. For security purposes, the applicant has
proposed to construct a 10-foot high slatted chain link fence around the electric facilities. The proposed
fence exceeds the City's maximum height permitted for a fence; therefore a Variance is required. The
closest portion of the proposed fence would be a minimum of 10 feet from the southern property line.
2. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended),
on June 6, 2006 the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non -Significance,
Mitigated for the project. The DNS-M included two (2) mitigation measures. A 14-day appeal period
commenced on June 9, 2006 and ended on June 23, 2006. No appeals of the threshold determination
were filed.
3. ERC MITIGATION MEASURES
Based on an analysis of probable impacts from the proposed project, the following mitigation measures
were issued for the Determination of Non -Significance — Mitigated:
1. Construction of the substation shall comply with the recommendations specified in the Geotechnical
Report prepared by GeoEngineers dated February 22, 2006.
2. The construction of the project shall comply with the 2001 Department of Ecology Stormwater
Management Manual for erosion and sedimentation control.
4. STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS
Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and
address site plan issues from the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official
file, and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report
and the Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report.
5. CONSISTENCY WITH SITE PLAN APPROVAL CRITERIA
As per RMC 4-9-200.E, "The Reviewing Official shall review and act upon site plans based upon
comprehensive planning considerations and the following criteria. These criteria are objectives of good
site plans to be aimed for in development within the City of Renton. However, strict compliance with any
one or more particular criterion may not be necessary or reasonable. These criteria also provide a frame
of reference for the applicant in developing a site, but are not intended to be inflexible standards or to
discourage creativity and innovation. The site plan review criteria include, but are not limited to, the
following:
(A) CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ITS ELEMENTS & POLICIES
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation for the site is Commercial Corridor (CC).
The purpose of the CC designation is to accommodate concentrated, pre-existing commercial
activity, primarily in a linear urban form, that provides necessary goods and services for daily
living, accessible to near -by neighborhoods, serving a sub -regional market and accommodating
large volumes of traffic. This proposal is considered a Utilities — Medium use.
The following Comprehensive Plan policies are applicable to the proposal:
Utilities Element
Policy U-94. The provision of electricity to the City's Planning Area should be coordinated with
local and regional purveyors to ensure the availability of electricity to meet projected growth in
HEX RPT06-048.doc
City of Renton P/BIPW Department Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner
PRESIDENT PARK SUBSTATION LUA-06-048, SA-H, V-H, ECF
PUBLIC HEARING DATE, June 27, 2006 Page 5 of 9
population and employment. The proposed substation would update the existing substation to
meet the projected population growth in the region.
Policy U-95. Encourage purveyors of electrical power to make facility improvements/additions
within existing electric facility corridors where appropriate. The proposed substation would
replace and therefore update the existing electrical substation.
(B) CONFORMANCE WITH LAND USE REGULATIONS
The subject site is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA) and is also located within the NE 4th Street
Corridor Business District. The CA zone is established to provide opportunities for a wide range
of commercial uses and to set site development standards that transition the commercial area
from "strip commercial" linear business districts to business areas characterized by enhanced site
planning, incorporating efficient parking lot design, coordinated access, amenities and boulevard
treatment.
The CA zone allows Utilities — Medium with an Administrative Conditional Use Permit, however as
the use already exists on the subject site and the proposal is solely to upgrade the existing facility
a conditional use permit will not be required for the proposed substation redevelopment.
Development Standards
Lot Dimensions — There are no minimum requirements for lot size, lot width or depth within the CA
zone. A minimum lot size of 1,200 square feet is required in the NE 41h Street Corridor Business
District. The subject site is 1.03 acres in area with a lot width of 150 feet and a lot depth of 300
feet. The subject property complies with the minimum lot size, width, and depth requirements.
Building Lot Coverage — The maximum lot coverage allowed is 65 percent of the total lot area.
The proposed substation would not include any buildings; therefore the building lot coverage
requirements are not applicable.
Setbacks J Landscaping — The minimum front yard setback is 10 ft. which can be reduced to 0
feet through the site plan review process. The maximum front yard setback required in the NE 41h
Street Corridor Business District is 15 feet. The minimum side yard along a street is 10 ft. and no
rear or interior side yard setbacks unless the property abuts or is adjacent to a residential zone
then a 15-foot setback is required. Setbacks are measured from the property line or private
access easement to the building footprint. The proposed substation would not have any buildings;
therefore the setback requirements are not applicable to the proposal.
The City's landscaping regulations require a 10-foot landscaped strip along all street frontages
and a 15-foot wide landscaped visual barrier along property lines abutting a residentially zoned lot.
The 15-foot landscaped visual barrier may be reduced down to 10 feet through the site plan
review process. The subject property abuts a residentially zoned parcel to the north; therefore a
landscaped visual barrier would be required along the northern property line.
A conceptual landscape plan was submitted with the project application. The landscape plan
proposes a 73-foot wide landscape strip along Union Avenue NE, which exceed the 10-foot
landscaped strip required. The proposed landscaping along Union Avenue NE would consist of a
combination of existing landscaping, Otto Luyken Laurel, and grass. A 10-foot landscaped visual
barrier is proposed along the northern property line, which abuts a Residential — 10 dwelling units
per acre (R-10) zone. The landscaped visual barrier would consist of an existing hedge, 10
proposed English Laurel, and 18 proposed American Arborvitae. In addition a 54-foot landscaped
area is proposed along the eastern property line and a 5-9 foot landscaped area is proposed
along the southern property line. The vegetation within the landscaping proposed along the
southern and western property lines would consist of Otto Luyken Laurel, Austrian Black Pine,
Vine Maple, Tall Oregon Grape, and Dwarf Strawberry Bush. The proposed landscaping, plant
size, type, and location, is appropriate for the proposed development.
All landscaping is required to be fully irrigated unless drought tolerant plants are used. An
irrigation plan was submitted with the project application
The preliminary landscape plan illustrates materials that would enhance the visual character of the
proposed President Park Substation.

PUBLIC HEARING DATE: June 27, 2006 Page 6 of 9
Building Limitations — The maximum gross floor area for any commercial use in the NE 41" Street
Corridor Business District is 65,000 gross square feet. No buildings are proposed with the
project; therefore this section is not applicable.
Building Height — The CA zone allows a maximum building height of 50 feet. No buildings are
proposed; therefore this section is not applicable.
Screening — The proposed substation would not have any outdoor storage, therefore the
screening requirements do not apply. However, the submitted landscape plan proposes to retain
or install vegetation around the perimeter of the substation effectively screening the substation
from the abutting properties.
Parking, Loading, and Driveway Regulations — Parking regulations require a specific number of
spaces based on the amount of square footage dedicated to certain uses. The proposed
substation would not be regulated under the parking regulations as no buildings are proposed and
no deliveries or shipments would occur at the subject site.
Driveways — The proposed substation would utilize an existing driveway access off of Union
Avenue NE located on the southern portion of the subject site. In addition a new driveway is
proposed to be constructed on the northern portion of the subject property for emergency and
construction access. The proposed driveway would also provide access to the site off of Union
Avenue NE. Both driveways would be 20 feet in width.
(C) MITIGATION OF IMPACTS TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND USE
The subject site is located within the Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning designation and is bordered
on the north by multi family residential development, on the east by commercial development, on
the south by multi family residential development and on the west by multi family residential
development. The proposal is not anticipated to adversely affect the surrounding properties as a
substation currently occupies the subject site and the proposed substation would replace the
existing substation. A landscape plan was submitted with the project application proposing
landscaping along the perimeter of the property. The proposed landscaping will result in a large
portion of the substation being screened from the adjacent properties, which will further reduce
any visual impacts the proposed substation would have on the surrounding properties.
Construction activities would result in some noise, dust and traffic impacts on surrounding
properties. The applicant has submitted a Construction Mitigation Plan outlining mitigation
measures to be employed for minimizing dust, noise and traffic impacts during construction.
Potential short-term noise and traffic impacts would result from the initial construction of the
project. Existing code provisions that limit construction work hours, and the applicant's
construction mitigation plan, which indicates proposed work hours from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm,
Monday through Friday, would mitigate these impacts.
(D) MITIGATION OF IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN TO THE SITE
The proposed substation would be located on the central portion of the subject site. The
substation would comply with all of the requirements for the location of a Medium Utility use on the
subject property.
The landscape plan indicates that sufficient landscaping would be installed along the full perimeter
of the subject site. Existing and proposed landscaping would serve to buffer the surrounding uses
from the proposed substation as well as provide an added buffer to prevent unwanted visitors
from visiting the subject property. A 10 foot fence is proposed around the perimeter of the
substation to provide further security to the site_
Potential erosion impacts that could occur during project construction would be adequately
mitigated by City Code requirements for approval of a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation
Control Plan (TESCP) and a Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of Construction
Permits_ However, to ensure sufficient erosion control would be provided the Environmental
Review Committee imposed a mitigation measure requiring that the erosion control for the subject
property comply with the 2001 Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for
erosion and sedimentation control.

PRESIDENT PARK SUBSTATION LUA-06-048, SA-H, V-H, ECF
PUBLIC HEARING DATE: June 27, 2006 Page 7 of 9
(E) CONSERVATION OF AREA-W IDE PROPERTY VALUES
The proposed substation would replace an existing substation; therefore it is not anticipated to
adversely affect the property values in the vicinity of the project site.
(F) SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY OF VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION
Access to the proposed substation would be provided via to driveways off of Union Avenue NE.
The proposed substation would not have any vehicle or pedestrian circulation as it is anticipated
that someone may be visiting the site for maintenance purposes once a week.
Construction truck hauling hours are limited to between 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p,m. under the
Development Guidelines Ordinance in order to avoid conflicts with peak hour traffic. The Traffic
Planning Section will review construction -related impacts prior to issuing final construction
permits.
(G) PROVISION OF ADEQUATE LIGHT AND AIR
The proposed substation is designed appropriately to allow adequate light and air circulation to
the site. The design of the substation will not result in excessive shading of the property. In
addition, there is ample area surrounding the substation to provide for normal airflow.
The City of Renton Development Standards regulates exterior onsite lighting, including security
lighting, Compliance with these regulations (RMC 4-4-075) ensures that all building lights are
directed onto the building or the ground and cannot trespass beyond the property lines. Staff does
not anticipate that exterior lighting would impact the surrounding buildings and the adjacent uses
provided code requirements are met.
(H) MITIGATION OF NOISE, ODORS AND OTHER HARMFUL OR UNHEALTHY CONDITIONS
It is anticipated that the most significant noise, odor and other potentially harmful impacts would
occur during the construction phase of the project. The applicant has submitted a Construction
Mitigation Plan that provides measures to reduce construction impacts such as noise, control of
dust, traffic controls, etc_
The proposed development would not generate any harmful or unhealthy conditions. There would
be not additional noise or traffic impacts resulting from the proposed substation as a substation
currently occupies the subject property.
(1) AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES TO ACCOMMODATE THE
PROPOSED USE
Fire Department, Police and Parks staff have indicated existing facilities are adequate to
accommodate the subject proposal.
Water service and other utilities are available and would be extended and or relocated as
necessary to the substation as required by City code.
(J) PREVENTION OF NEIGHBORHOOD DETERIORATION AND BLIGHT
The proposal would replace an existing substation and would not result in neighborhood
deterioration and blight.
6. CONSISTENCY WITH VARIANCE APPROVAL CRITERIA
The Hearing Examiner shall have authority to grant a variance upon making a determination,
in writing, that the conditions specified below have been found to exist. Section 4-9-250B.5,a.
lists 4 criteria that the Hearing Examiner is asked to consider, along with all other relevant
information, in making a decision on a Variance application. These include the following:
HEX RPT06-048.doc
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner
PRESIDENT PARK SUBSTATION LUA-06-048, SA-H, V-H, 1=CF
PUBLIC HEARING DATE- June 27, 2006 Page 8 of 9
1. That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary because
of special circumstances applicable to subject property, including size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings of the subject property, and the strict application
of the Zoning Code is found to deprive subject property owner of rights and privileges
enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zone
classification:
The applicant contends that the construction of the proposed electrical substation requires
adequate safety, security, and screening from adjacent parcels_ Part of the proposed
construction requires that the overall elevation of the subject property be lowered to provide
getter accessibility for maintenance and emergency equipment. Through the lowering of the
elevation of the subject property, the topography of the adjacent parcels will become elevated
over the subject site. To mitigate for the elevation difference created as a result of the
construction of the proposed substation a higher security, safety, and screening enclosure
must be installed around the substation. This increased security enclosure would be
accomplished through the construction of a 10-foot tali slatted chain link fence,
Staff concurs with the applicant's contention that adequate safety and security would be
required to protect the proposed substation due to the change in topography proposed and
the location of the substation within a multi family neighborhood. The proposed 10-foot
slatted chain line fence would provide the desired safety and security required for the
proposed substation.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which
subject property is situated:
The applicant contends that the proposed 10-foot fence would no be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to surrounding properties. The proposed fence would serve to
screen the substation from the surrounding properties. In addition the proposed fence would
provide enhanced security and safety by minimizing the attractive nuisance effect of the
substation.
Staff concurs that the proposed 10-foot fence would not be materially detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to surrounding properties. The proposed fence would serve to provide the
desired screening of the substation as well as the additional security required. In addition, the
applicant's proposed landscape plan would provide screening of the fence, which would
reduce the visual impact of a 10-foot fence from the surrounding properties.
3. That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject
property is situated:
The applicant contends that electric substations are unique quasi -public facilities that need to
be isolated from the general public for safety and security reasons. The applicant indicates
that the proposed 10-foot tall slatted chain link fence would provide the required safety and
security without being a special privilege.
Staff concurs that the proposed fence would provide the required safety and security to the
proposed substation. The proposed fence would not be a grant of special privilege as an
electrical substation is a use that has additional safety and security requirements that would
not apply to other uses permitted within the Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning designation.
4. That the approval as determined by the Zoning Administrator is a minimum
variance that will accomplish the desired purpose:
The applicant contends that in determining the appropriate screening necessary for the
proposed substation a number of criteria were evaluated including: site specific safety
requirements, ability to construct the desired fence height, desired screening for adjacent land
uses, etc. Based on these criteria it was determined that the proposed 10-foot slatted chain
link fence would be the minimum necessary_

PRESIDENT PARK SUBSTATION LUA-06-048, SA-H, V-H, ECF
PUBLIC HEARING DATE: June 27, 2006 Page 9 of 9
Staff concurs with the applicant's conclusions. The proposed substation needs to be
screened from the adjacent properties for aesthetic purposes as well as security purposes. It
appears that the proposed 10-foot slatted chain link fence is the minimum necessary to
achieve these purposes.

REPORT OF June 6, 2006 Page 2 of 5
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION (CONT.)
The existing electric distribution substation has reached the design life and therefore needs to be
replaced. The proposed substation would replace the existing substation and would be constructed
using current technology. At completion, the new facility would operate at the same service capacity
as the existing facility by providing 4 outgoing electric distribution circuits. In addition, the proposal
would also include the construction of the necessary civil infrastructure (i.e. concrete foundations
and underground conduit system) for future substation expansion. The applicant indicates that in
the next 5 to 10 years there will be a need to "double bank" the President Park substation and
expand the number of outgoing distribution circuits from 4 to 8. The location of the proposed
expansion would be to the west of the existing substation footprint.
The existing site conditions are proposed to be altered to accommodate the proposed facilities, and
allow for the use of a "mobile substation° during construction and/or an emergency. In addition, off
site improvements are proposed including the replacement of electric transmission and distribution
poles as well as underground placement of a portion of the electric distribution wire. No frontage
improvements are proposed at this location.
Access to the subject site would be provide onto Union Avenue NE via an existing driveway, which
is located along the southern property line and a new proposed secondary driveway, which would be
located along the northern property line. The second driveway is proposed to provided construction
and emergency access for the operation of the electric facilities.
Sensitive Slopes (slopes with between a 25% and 40% grade) are located along the eastern
property line and the western property line. The proposed grading activities would reduce these
slopes such that they would not meet the sensitive slopes criteria. Approximately 3,500 cubic yards
of material is proposed to be removed as a result of the construction of the project, which would
result in the overall elevation of the site being lowered by 3 feet. The project site is underlain by
Alderwood gravelly sandy loam.
One retaining wall is proposed to be constructed on the northwestern portion of the subject site. The
retaining wall would be setback 12 feet from the side property fine and 35 feet from the rear property
line. The maximum height of the retaining wall would be 6 feet. For security purposed, the applicant
has proposed to construct a 10-foot high slatted chain link fence around the electric facilities, The
proposed fence exceeds the City's maximum height permitted for a fence; therefore a Variance is
required. The closest portion of the proposed fence would be a minimum of 10 feet from the
southern property line.
B. RECOMMENDATION
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible
Officials make the following Environmental Determination:

REPORT OF June 6, 2006 Page 3 of 5
C. MITIGATION MEASURES
1. Construction of the substation shall comply with the recommendations specified in the Geotechnical
Report prepared by GeoEngineers dated February 22, 2006.
2. The construction of the project shall comply with the 2001 Department of Ecology Stormwater
Management Manual for erosion and sedimentation control.
D. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
In compliance with RCW 43.21 C. 240, the following project environmental review addresses only
those project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards
and environmental regulations.
Earth l Environmental Health
The topography of the subject property is relatively flat. The existing substation is located on a flat
portion of the site. The site slopes down to the west at an approximately 30 percent slope and down
to the east at an approximately 33 percent slope. Slopes which range between 25 percent and 40
percent grades are regulated as Sensitive Slopes under the City's critical areas regulations. The
existing substation is approximately 10 to 13 feet higher than the surrounding area.
The site is primarily vegetated with grass, shrubs, and landscaping on the east side of the site.
Maple trees and blackberries vegetate the west portion of the site and maple trees and brush
vegetate the northeast corner of the subject site.
The applicant submitted a Geotechnical Report prepared by GeoEngineers dated February 22,
2006. Two test pits were dug to 8'/2 feet below grade on the subject site. Test Pit 1 was located on
the northwest portion of the property and Test Pit 2 was located on the southwest portion of the
property. In addition, six hand explorations were dug to 4 to 5'/z feet below grade. According to the
report the test pits and hand explorations indicate that the subsurface conditions of the site consist
of fill and recessional outwash overlying dense glacial till. On the west side of the site, 2'/7 feet of fill
consisting of loose to medium dense silty sand with gravel was found overlying recessional outwash,
which was underlain by loose to medium dense silty sand with varying gravel content to the extent of
the depths explored. In the area of the substation and the eastern portion of the subject site loose to
medium dense silty sand with varying gravel content was encountered to the depths explored of the
hand explorations, which was interpreted to by regarded and recessional outwash.
Based on the information gathered from the excavation of the test pits and the hand explorations,
the geotechnical report provided conclusions and recommendations for the development of the site.
The report concluded that the onsite soils are suitable for re -use as structural fill, the substation
equipment can be supported on shallow foundations, and the northwest corner and proposed
driveway can be supported using 2 or 3 block high Ultra Block walls (5 to 7'/2 feet high). The report
provided recommendations for earthquake engineering, earthwork activities, shallow
foundations/mat foundations, retaining walls, site drainage and infiltration, and pavement
recommendations. Due to the impacts to the site that may result from the development of the
proposed substation, staff is recommending a mitigation measure requiring the construction of the
substation to comply with the recommendations specified in the Geotechnical Report prepared by
GeoEngineers dated February 22, 2006.
Due to the potential for erosion and sedimentation to occur as a result of the proposed development
staff is recommending a mitigation measure which requires the construction of the project to comply
with the 2001 Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for erosion and
sedimentation control.
Mitigation Measures:
1. Construction of the substation shall comply with the recommendations specified in the
Geotechnical Report prepared by GeoEngineers dated February 22, 2006.

TO. Pre -Application File No. 05-174
FROM: Keri Weaver, Senior Planner x7283
SUBJECT: Site Plan for PSE President Park Substation Redevelopment
bE�� jypME
.c� E,T�N�y�N
Pp 2 '700
General: Staff have completed a preliminary review of the pre -application for the above -
referenced site development plan. The following comments on development and permitting
issues are based on the pre -application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant
and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information
contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official
decision -makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Zoning Administrator, and City Council). Review
comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes
required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to review all
applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are available
for purchase for $50.00 plus tax, from the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hail.
Project Proposal: The subject site is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA), and consists of one
parcel totalling 1.03 acre, located on the west side of Union Ave. NE and north of NE 41h Street.
The site currently contains the President Park electric distribution substation operated by Puget
Sound Energy (PSE).
The applicant proposes the following activities as part of the site plan:
• Remove the existing substation building and replace with a new building, including
foundations and underground conduits (note: applicant did not indicate sizes of existing
and proposed buildings).
• Construct an additional driveway entrance from Union Ave. NE at the north side of the
site.
• Remove approximately 3,500 cubic yards (cy) of earth from the site to lower the overall
grade of the substation by approximately 3 feet.
• Install two 6-foot retaining walls, one at the northeast corner of the site as part of the
new driveway construction, and one at the northwest corner of the site to allow grading
into a sloped area that is proposed for additional development.
• Enclose the entire property with a 10-foot chain link fence with slats.
• Potential relocation of existing cell tower and ancillary equipment to another location
within the site.
Zoning: The subject property is located within the Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning designation.
The proposal for construction of facilities classified as Utilities -- Medium in the City's Zoning
Use Table (RMC 4-2-060) is an Administrative Conditional Use within the CA zone; however, as
Pre05-174(PSE electric station site plan).doc
the use already exists and the site is solely being upgraded and redeveloped, a conditional use
permit will not be required for the proposed substation redevelopment.
Site development Plan Requirements:
Per RMC 4-9-200 D.2, a public hearing is required for a site development plan within the CA
zone when the property abuts or is adjacent to a residential zone. The adjacent property to the
north is zoned R-10, and therefore, a public hearing will be required.
The application for a site development plan shall include site plans of the existing and proposed
development, grading and drainage plans, a geotechnical analysis and topographical map,
landscape plan, utility plan, elevations of the proposed buildings, cross -sections of proposed
driveway improvements and retaining wall structures, a completed Environmental Checklist, and
a summary of the proposed activities (mapped as necessary), including square footages of
existing and proposed development.
Development Standards:
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth — There are no minimum lot size, width and depth
requirements in the CA zone.
Building Standards — The CA zone allows a maximum building coverage of 65% of the lot area
or 75% of the lot area if parking is provided within the building or within an on -site parking
garage. Building height is restricted to 50 feet, unless additional height is granted through the
conditional use permit process
Setbacks — Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line and/or any private access easement. The required setbacks in the CA zone are 10
feet in front and along side yards along a street (including access easements), which may be
reduced to 0 feet through the Site Plan Review process.
Access/Parking: Private driveways may not exceed a maximum width of 30 feet. The paved
portion of the driveway must be a minimum of 5 feet from the adjacent property line.
Driveway Grades: The maximum driveway slopes can not exceed fifteen percent (15%),
provided that driveways exceeding eight percent (8%) are to provide slotted drains at the lower
end of the driveway. If the grade exceeds 15%, a variance will be required.
Landscaping and Open Space: A minimum 15 ft wide sight -obscuring landscape strip is
required along the street frontage of Union Ave. NE, except where otherwise altered or reduced
through the site plan review process.
All landscape areas are to include an underground sprinkling system unless drought tolerant
plantings are used. Please refer to RMC 4-4-070 for general and specific landscape
requirements. Several of the specific landscape requirements include: the type and location of
trees; soils to be used; drainage; plants; and berms.
A conceptual landscape plan and landscape analysis meeting the requirements in RMC
4-8-120D shall be submitted at the time of site development plan application.
Sensitive Areas: The City's Critical Areas Maps indicate that the site may contain sensitive
slopes between 15-40% grade and areas indicated as Moderate Landslide Hazard. It appears
that these areas may be impacted by the proposed construction of the north driveway and the
ecology block retaining walls. A geotechnical report prepared by a„qualified consultant and
consistent with the requirements of RMC 4-3-050 is required to be submitted with the formal
land use application, along with an analysis of potential impacts resulting from proposed
Pre05-174(PSE electric station site plan) -doe
development within sensitive areas_ A GIS map showing potential areas of steep slopes and
landslide hazard is attached to this report_
Relocation of Cell Tower and Ancillary Facilities: The existing cell tower and ancillary
facilities shall not be relocated closer to the R-10 zoned property to the north without additional
review pursuant to RMC 4-4-140 (Wireless Communication Facilities). If the cell tower and
ancillary facilities are proposed to be enlarged or if additional facilities will be added, additional
review may also be required.
Screen inglRefuse and Recyclables -- Screening must be provided for all outside storage
areas, as well as for surface -mounted and roof top utility and mechanical equipment. In addition,
garbage dumpsters and recyclable areas must be screened pursuant to RMC section 4-4-
090.C-7 (fence, landscaping, or combination of both). Approval of the proposed locations of
dumpster areas by Rainier Waste Management is recommended prior to the submittal for
building permits. The drawings submitted for building permit review will need to include
elevations and details on the proposed methods of screening, if applicable.
Signage — One freestanding business sign (pole, monument/ground, projecting or roof) is
permitted per street frontage. Each sign shall not exceed an area greater than one and one-half
square feet for each lineal foot of property frontage that is occupied by the business. In no case
shall the sign exceed a total of 300 square feet (150 square feet per face). in addition to the
permitted freestanding sign, wall signs with a copy area not exceeding 20% of the facade to
which it is applied is also permitted. The sign permit(s) will need to clearly identify square
footages of the wall face and the sign to which it is applied, in order to determine compliance.
Fencing: Fencing up to 8 feet in height is allowed in the CA zone. The applicant may be able
to top an 8-foot fence with 2 feet of barbed wire to obtain a 10-foot fence without further review.
If a 10-foot chain link fence is desired, the applicant should request a modification to the
fence standards at the time of permit application.
Transportation: A traffic mitigation fee of $75.00 per any additional generated daily trips (over
the previous use) shall be assessed as determined from the ITE trip generation manual.
Environmental Review: The project would require SEPA review, and will be brought to the
Environmental Review Committee for review as it is their charge to make threshold
determinations. Typically, mitigation of impacts is accomplished through fees related to issues
such as transportation, fire and parks as well as measures to reduce impacts to environmental
elements such as soils , streams, water, etc.
Permits and Fees: All permits would be reviewed in an estimated timeframe of 8 to 10 weeks.
he a e for joint land use applications is full price for the most expensive permit (Site
Plan and half off any subsequent permits: % of full fee for SEPA Review
nvironmental Checklist) which is dependent on pr 'ect value. less than $100,000 is $200 (1/2
of $400 full fee) and project value over $100,000 is a $5 fee (112 of $1,000 full fee).
Additional information on permits, fees and application requirements is included in the attached
handouts.
Additional Comments:
It is strongly encouraged that before submitting the full application package, the applicant
should bring in one copy of each application material for a pre-screening at the customer
service counter, to help ensure that the application is complete prior to making all copies.

SUBJECT: PREAPP No. 05-174 — .President Park Substation
NOTE ON PRELIMINARY REVIEW COMMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT:
the following comments on development and permitting issues are based on the pre -application submittal!
made to the City of Renton by the applicant. The applicant is cautioned that information contained in thin
summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision makers (e.g. Hearing
Examiner, Boards of Adjustment, Board of ,Public Works and City Council). Review comments may also need
o be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by the City or made by the applicant.
I have reviewed the preliminary application for the President Park Substation upgrade located at
475 Union Ave NE. It appears that there are no existing city utilities (water, sewer, or storm)
extended to this site. The preliminary plan submitted with the Pre -application package does not
propose any new utility connections. Therefore no utility construction permits will be necessary
for this project. The following is general information concerning the public utilities in the
vicinity of the substation.
WATER
1. There is an existing 12-inch water main in Union Ave NE.
2. The fire flow available in this vicinity is approximately 5600 gpm. Static water pressure is
approximately 70 psi.
SANITARY SEWER
1. There is an existing 8-inch sewer main in Union Ave NE.
SURFACE WATER
1. A storm and surface water drainage analysis (1990 King County Surface Water Design
Manual) may be necessary to determine if any drainage improvements will be required.
2. Surface Water Development Charges are $0.265/square foot of new impervious surface.
STREET )IMPROVEMENTS
I. There are existing curb, gutter and sidewalks along this property.

Re: President Park Substation Project Administrative Variance for 10-ft tall slatted chain link
fence
Dear Ms Nicolay and Wever:
Puget Sound Energy, Inc. (PSE) desires an Administrative Variance to construct a 10-ft tall
slatted chain link fence as part of PSE's proposed President Park Substation Project. Our
understanding and necessary response for the Administrative Variance is based on the Renton
Municipal Code as described on the attached sheet.
I am available at (253) 476-6295 or by e-mail at andy.markos&se.com if you have any
questions regarding this Administrative Variance Request.
Sincerely,
Puget Sound Energy, Inc.
�i
Andy arkos, AICP
Municipal Land Planner
Renton Municipal Code 4-9-250 VARIANCES, WAIVERS,
MODIFICATIONS, AND ALTERNATES:
B. VARIANCE PROCEDURES:
1. Authority and Applicability:
c. Administrative Variances: The Planning/Building/Public Works
Administrator or his/her designee shall have the authority to grant variances from
the following development standards when no other permit or approval requires
Hearing Examiner Review:
ii. Commercial and Industrial Land Uses: Screening of surface -mounted
equipment and screening of roof -mounted equipment.
5. Decision Criteria: Except for variances from critical areas regulations, the
Reviewing Official shall have authority to grant a variance upon making a
determination in writing that the conditions specified below have been found to
exist: (Amd. Ord. 4835, 3-27-2000)
a. That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary
because of special circumstances applicable to subject property,
including size, shapc, topography, location or surroundings of the
subject property, and the strict application of the Zoning Code is found
to deprive subject property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by
other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zone
classification;
Response: PSE is proposing to re -construct an existing electrical
substation requiring adequate and appropriate safety, security and
screening from adjacent properties. As part of the proposed action,
PSE needs to lower the overall grade of the station to provide better
accessibility for maintenance and emergency equipment. By lowering
the overall grade of the site, slight topographic "highs" will be created
on adjacent parcels. As a result, PSE must create a higher security,
safety and screening enclosure around the station, which will be
accomplished by the construction of a 10-ft tall slatted chain link
fence
b. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the
vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated;
Response: In fact by constructing a 1.0-ft tall slatted chain link fence
enclosure around the substation, PSE is creating better screening of
the site for adjacent residential units. This screening will also
provide enhanced security and safety by minimizing attractive
nuisance affects of these facilities.
c. That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the
vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated;
Response: Electric substations are unique quasi -public facility that
needs to be "isolated from the general public" for safety and security
reasons. The proposal for a 10-ft tall slatted chain link fence
adequately provides this isolation at this specific location, and does
not create any special privilege of similar uses.
d. That the approval as determined by the Reviewing Official is a
minimum variance that will accomplish the desired purpose. (Amd.
Ord. 4835, 3-27-2000)
Response: In determining the appropriate screening necessary for this
site, PSE evaluated a number of criteria including site specific safety
requirements, ability to construct the desired fence height, desired
screening for adjacent land uses, etc. P5E believe that the proposed
10-ft tall slatted chain link fence meets ail of the criteria evaluated
while utilizing the minimum height necessary for the desired purpose.

PRESIDENT PARK SUBSTATION REBUILD
PERMIT SUBMITTAL PROJECT NARRATVE ?006
Proiect Narrative (Site Plan Review Submittal Requirements #6) �tp
• The proposed project is the rebuild of the President Park electric distribution
substation, located on a 1.03-acre site at 475 Union Avenue NE, Renton WA, tax
parcel #0923059164. (The existing facilities at the substation have reached the
design life and as such, PSE will be rebuilding the station, utilizing current
technology.)
• Land Use Permits required are Site Development Plan Review, Fence Standard
Modification Request, and Potential Conditional Use Permit for the relocation of
cellular monopole. If CUP is required, then that permitting process may be
conducted separately by third party cell tower operators, which occupy the site under
lease arrangements with PSE.
• The property is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA), as are the adjacent properties to the
south and west. The adjacent property to the north is zoned R-10. The site is within
the Comprehensive Plan Designation Commercial Corridor (CC).
• The site currently contains the existing President Paris Substation, which has reached
its design life. A portion of the site has been leased to private communications
carriers for location of a monopole cell tower and ground mounted communications
equipment.
• Special features on the site include regulated slopes (>25<-40). These slopes will be
reduced in part as part of the proposed reconstruction of the site. During the civil
construction portion of this project, PSE will remove approximately 3,500 cubic
yards of material from the site, lowering the overall grade of the substation
approximately 3 feet.
• The site is underlain by Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, with tested infiltration rates
ranging from 8.1 to 5.1 inches/hour.
• At the completion of this project, the new facility will operate at the same service
capacity as the existing facility by providing 4 outgoing electric distribution circuits.
As part of this project, PSE also proposes to construct the necessary civil
infrastructure, i.e. concrete foundations and underground conduit system, for future
substation expansion. PSE anticipates that in the 5 to 10 year planning horizon, there
will be a need to "double bank" this substation and expand the number of outgoing
distribution circuits from 4 to 8. PSE understands that there may be additional
permitting requirements with future expansion, and will pursue all necessary permits
at that time.
• This project does not include plat development.
• Site access will include the existing driveway and a proposed secondary driveway
onto Union Ave NE. The purpose of the second driveway is to provide construction
and emergency access for operation of the electric facilities.
• Offsite improvements include replacement of electric transmission and distribution
poles as well as underground placement of a portion of the electric distribution wire.
Based on preliminary information provided by Renton Public Works at the pre -
application meeting, no right of way improvements are anticipated.
• Total estimated construction costs and estimated fair market value of the project is
$2M.
• Total estimated excavation and off -site removal of material is 3,500 CY.
• A portion of the existing vegetation will be removed as part of the proposed
construction. Removal will include a small stand of big leaf maples in the northeast
corner of the site. All trees to be removed are < 6" caliper. If left in place, these
maples will create operational, maintenance and electric reliability issues in the
future. The site will be re -landscaped at the completion of the proposed project for
screening and aesthetics purposes.
• This project does not include land dedication to the City.
• In order to provide a higher degree of safety as well as site screening, PSE is
proposing to construct a 10-ft high slatted chain link fence around the electric
facilities. The proposed fence exceeds the City's standard 6-it high limitation.

11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the
project and site.
PSE owns and operates the existing President Park electric distribution substation. The
substation electric facilities have reached the design life and as such, PSE will be
rebuilding the station, utilizing current technology. At the completion of this project, the
new facility will operate at the same service capacity as the existing facility by providing 4
outgoing electric distribution circuits. As part of this project, PSE also proposes to
construct the necessary civil infrastructure, i.e. concrete foundations and underground
conduit system, for future substation expansion. PSE anticipates that in the 5 to 10 year
planning horizon, there will be a need to "double bank" this substation and expand the
number of outgoing distribution circuits from 4 to 8.
The PSE Shuffleton-Lake Tradition 115kV-transmission line located on Union Ave NE will
continue to provide the transmission feed for the President's Park Substation. By
accommodating a "loop through" transmission design, there will be an increase in electric
service reliability from this substation and a reduction of pole -mounted switching
equipment outside of the station. PSE will install new, current technology electrical
facilities that will "step down" the voltage from 115kV to distribution 12.5kV, and will
continue to have four separate electric distribution circuits coming out of the substation.
Preliminary design indicates that the four electric distribution circuits will leave the
substation underground, cross Union Ave NE and come up risers to the new transmission
poles.
The cell tower and pad mounted communication facilities will be relocated immediately
south of the existing site, between the two driveways and transmission lines. This portion
of the proposed action is the responsibility of third party lessee.
PSE will be altering the existing site conditions in order to accommodate the new facilities,
provide better access, and allow for potential use of a "mobile substation" during
construction and/or emergencies, and in the process provide enhanced screening of the
electric facilities. As shown in the accompanying site plan documentation, PSE is
proposing two separate driveway access points, the removal of a portion of existing
vegetation (all trees proposing to be removed are < 6" caliper), and lowering the overall
grade of the facility. This layout will meet current PSE design standards. The southern
driveway will remain as the primary access point. The second, northern driveway will
provide construction and emergency ingress and egress of the substation for placement
of large electric equipment.
During the civil construction portion of this project, PSE will remove approximately 3,500
cubic yards of material from the site, lowering the overall grade of the substation
approximately 3 feet. The electrical equipment will be contained within a 10-ft slatted
chain link fence. There will be one retaining wall installed as part of this project. The
retaining wall in the northwestern portion of the site will be set back from the adjacent R-
10 zoned property 12-ft (side yard setback). This same retaining wall will be set back
approximate 35-ft from the rear yard property line and the adjacent parcel zoned CA. The
fence on the south side of the site will be setback 10-ft from the south property line and
the adjacent parcel zoned CA. PSE has prepared a preliminary design and landscape plan
as part of this project.
12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the
precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township,
and range if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or
