Q
3 OFFSITE ANALYSIS
3.1 Task 9: Study Area Definition and Maps
Runoff from the existing building drains north under the parking lot via a 6" storm drain and
east to an existing 12" storm drain system in Wells Avenue S. The existing parking lot
drains east through an 8" storm drain and oil water separator and ties into the 12"storm
system in Wells Avenue, just upstream of the 6" connection from the existing parking lot.
The 12" storm drain system in Wells Avenue flows west on S 2nd Street in a 15" CMP.
Storm water is conveyed west approximately 600' within this system, which then turns and
continues north within Logan Avenue N. for an additional 1,600'. At this point storm water
is discharged into the Cedar River.
The project site is surrounded, either by improved roadway or existing buildings and parking
areas. Off -site storm water flows are negligible.
3.2 Task 2. Resource Review
■ Adopted Basin Plans and Finalized Drainage Studies
This site is part of the Lower Cedar River Basin Plan which was last updated in
January 2004. There are no areas of concern within the North Renton sub -basin of
the project.
• Critical Drainage Area Maps
This site is not within a critical drainage area.
• Flood plain/floodway (FEMA) maps

pedestrian entrance by the use of a cantilevered metal and glass canopy and a recessed corner.
The main pedestrian entry would also be directly accessed from the public sidewalk.
Guidelines focus on providing clear architectural entrance features with lobbies, canopies, and
ornamental lighting. Also encouraged are pedestrian pathways, plazas and landscaping.
The applicant is proposing to provide a well-defined main entrance to the proposed structure.
The entrance is at the northeast corner of the proposed building located on the Wells Avenue
South frontage. The entrance is marked by unique architectural treatment including a recessed
corner and a canopy. The proposed building is 42 feet and three stories in height. The proposal
complies with the minimum standards of this criterion. No additional guidelines are suggested.
4 Transition to Surrounding Development — Minimum Standards: Careful siting and design
treatment is necessary to achieve a compatible transition where new buildings differ from
surrounding development in terms of buiiding height, bulk and scale. The following design
elements shall be considered to promote a transition to surrounding uses. -
Setbacks at the side or rear of a building may be increased in order to reduce the bulk
and scale of larger buildings and so that sunlight reaches adjacent yards, -
Building proportions, including step backs on upper levels, -
Building articulation to divide a larger architectural element into smaller pieces;
• Rooflines, pitches and shapes.
The proposed development holds the street edge and would be an urban building. The proposed
building is a three story structure with a maximum height of 42 feet to the top of the highest roof
line.
The apparent bulk of the project is reduced through the use of varying materials on the building
facades. Exterior materials would include architectural concrete masonry units, pre -finished
metal panels, brick, steel and glass.
The scale of the building will be broken up through the use of materials. The building would be
modulated with architectural features including a change in materials and a cantilevered metal
and glass canopy. The proposed building would be compatible with the existing First Savings
Bank campus.
Although the proposed building would be taller than surrounding buildings, the immediate area is
zoned CD and is likely to change as incremental redevelopment occurs. Comprehensive Plan
policies encourage taller buildings and more intensive use of properties in the downtown core.
The CD zoning allows for a 95-foot height limit.
The proposal complies with the minimum standards of this criterion. No additional guidelines are
suggested.
B. PARKING, ACCESS, CIRCULATION
1. Location of Parking — Minimum Standards: No parking shall be located between a building and
front property line or street side of a corner lot.
2. Design of Surface Parking — Minimum Standards: Parking lot lighting shall not spill onto adjacent
or abutting properties.
3. Structure/Garage Parking— No minimum standard. Guidelines state that parking entries should
not dominate the streetscape. Parking garages should be architecturally compatible with the
residential portion of the building. The parking structure should be enclosed or screened through
any combination of walls, decorative grilles, or trellis work with landscaping_ Garage parking
should be secure. The street side of parking garages in the CD zone should incorporate retail or
service commercial facilities.
Parking is currently provided on the First Savings Bank campus. Forty-four structured parking
stalls are located within the Corporate/Bank Facility and 13 additional spaces are located in a

surface parking lot at the northeast corner of South 2'6 Street and Wells Avenue South. There is
one entry to the structured parking from Williams Avenue South. There are two entry driveways
to the surface parking lot; one is accessed from South 2' Street and the other is accessed from
Wells Avenue South.
Perimeter landscaping is proposed along all four facades of the proposed loan center building.
Landscaping would provide visual relief between areas of pedestrian and vehicular circulation.
4. Vehicular Access — No minimum standard. Guidelines state parking should be accessed from
alleys or side streets. Driveways should be visible from the right-of-way but not impede
pedestrian circulation.
Existing parking area entries would be used. No additional vehicular entries are proposed.
The proposal complies with the minimurn standards of this criterion.
C. PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENT
1. Streets. Driveways and Parking Lots- Parking access for the commercial space is from Williams
Avenue South. South 2`1 Street and Wells Avenue South; parking access currently crosses the
sidewalks at all entries. No changes would occur to vehicular entries as a result of the proposed
project.
2. Pedestrian Circulation: There would be one pedestrian entry to the proposed building. This
pedestrian entry point would be directly from the sidewalk and would be located at Wells Avenue
South. The pedestrian entrance would be marked by distinct architectural form and elements
such as a canopy and a recessed corner.
D. LAN DSCAPINGIRECREATIONICOMMON SPACE
Landscaping: Street trees shall be located between the curb and building. Street level
landscaping for this project uses the existing street trees (Hornbeam), cast stone planters and
planted areas to highlight architectural features as well as to create visual interest, transition and
screening. Cast stone planters would be placed to denote the pedestrian entry point. In addition,
an existing plaza area is located on the First Savings Bank campus to the north of the proposed
loan center.
E. BUILDING ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
1. Building Character and Massing - All building facades shall include modulation or articulation at
intervals of no more than 40 feet.
The proposed building utilizes a variety of articulation elements. Pre -cast concrete at the base
would anchor the building to its urban setting. Above street level the building is articulated with
brick, curtain wall windows and curtain glass such that there are no elevations longer than 40 feet
on Wells Avenue South. The style and materials for the proposed building are compatible with
the existing corporate/bank building on the First Savings Sank campus.
The proposal complies with the minimum standard and guidelines of this criterion.
2. Ground Level Details: At street level the building is urban in nature and holds the property line.
3. Building Rooflines - Building rooflines should be varied by emphasizing dormers, chimneys,
stepped roofs, gables, prominent cornice or fascia, or be broken or articulated to add visual
interest to the building.
The roof line reflects the varied exterior materials used and would help to reduce the apparent
bulk of the building.
The proposal complies with this criterion.

The proposed project, First Savings Loan Center. Would be located on three parcels bounded on the north by
South 2`1 Street, on the west by Williams AvC1111C Solrtlr and on the east by Wells Avenue South. The proposed
building would include 21,035 square feet of office space.
The property is zoned Center Downtown and ithin Urban Center Design Overlay District A. The
Comprehensive Plan designation is Urban Centcr Downtown. Commcrcialiretail and multi -residential mixed use
developments require site plan review. An administrativc site plan review is necessary for this project because
the building is four stories or less and less than 60 feet in height. The surrounding properties are all zoned CD_
The site is currently developed with the First Sati ing, 13ank Northwest campus which includes a 6,366 foot loan
center, a corporate off -ice facility (including 5.000 s�luarc feet of retail bank space), 44 structured parkirrg spaces,
a drivc-through teller facility, an 11-space surf ice lot and a 13-space surface parking lot. In order to
accommodate the proposed pr6cet the existing, lo.rn center building and the abutting 11-space parking lot would
be demolished. The corporate/retail bank builduw, ttnd the 13-space surface parking lot would rcnlairr_
The proposed three story building would front on 1-Fells ;\venue South where the main pedestrian access would
be located_ Access to the First Savings Bank Northwest campus would be gained from four existing driveways.
One accesses the structured parking along Williams A%ctruc South. Another driveway accesses the 13-space
surface parking lot from South 2ic1 Street. The other t�� ii clrivewEys access the site north and south of the
proposed loan center building from Wells A\ cnuc South.
The 57 parking spaces to remain (44 structural 11ar-kin,f ,tails within the corporate/rctail bank facility and the 13-
space surface parking lot) would accommodate parking for the First savings Bank Northwest campus. Four
accessible parking spaces are provided.
Approximately 92 percent (or 35,753 square feet) ot'thc proposed project site would be covered by impervious
surfaces. New landscaping is proposed alone the perimcter of the new loan center building.
The proposed building, 21,035 square feet ir1 1Vc J, trotrld serve as the First Savings Bank Loan Center. The
ground floor would have a lobby which would sen c the entire building. The entrance would be located at the
recessed northwest corner of the new building and �� ould be enhanced by a metal and glass entrance canopy.
The proposed building would be 42 feet in hci�glrl and the exterior materials would be comprised of architectural
concrete masonry units, pre -finished metal panels. 17rick. steel, and glass. The proposed building would be
compatible in style with the existing corporate rctail lxwk facility.
Proposed trash and recycling containers would be located at the rear of the building with access from an existing
16-foot alley. This enclosure would be rrradc o masnw y walls and steel panel gates.
All landscaped areas would be irrigated with cur underground, automated irrigation system_ Existing landscaping
except for that associated with the existing loan center building and 1 l --space surface parking lot will remain.

2. Conf n-manee with existing- land use r eegtdations
The subject site is zoned Center Downtown (CD). The CD zone is established to provide for
a wide variety oCuses including conium-vial, residential, entertainment and
personaliprol"essional services.
The CD zone allows commercial rctailscivice as outright permitted. The proposed project
includes a total of 21,035 square f,ect of iofliccs. The First Savings Bank canipas
encompasses 53,569 square feel (it-olfices and retail bank_ It should be noted that the
proposed development promotes the goals and policies of the City`s Economic Development
priorities and the City`s Dowmon it arch.
Lot Coverage The total footprint oftlic new loan center building will cover 7.296 square
feet. The total site area is 38,805 Square feet. hlcluding the existing corporate/retail bank
facility this generates a total buildith� coverage of approximately 60 percent.
Sethack5'Landsca� — No minimum setbacks or landscape requirements are applied to CD
zoned properties in the DownloEe ri Corc Area. There is no maximum fi'ont yard setback for
buildings over 25 feet in height. Thcre is no rear yard setback as the property abuts
commercially zoned property.
The proposed building is rectanw,ulttr in Shape and would have an approximate 75 Cool
frontage along Wells !Avenue Soutli. 'Hie primary entrance to the building is accessed
through a recessed corner entry that opens directly to the sidewalk along Wells Avenue South
and creates a pedestrian -oriented space. The frontage along Wells Avenue South has a
vertical rhythm of masonry walls interspersed with the transparency of the store front
windows. The horizontal architectural concrete band at the street level as well as the step
back in the building mass and chang in material at the third floor level help reduce the
apparent building height, The recessed corner entry will transition from the rest of the facade
by change in material to ground lace concrete masonry units and a cantilevcred glass canopy.
Perimeter landscaping is proposed along all four sides of the proposed loan center building.
Trees proposed for the street level landscaped areas are Honnbeanss. Proposed shrubs and
groundcovers would include Japanese ground spurge, winter and summer annuals and

be reviewed wider a separate permit.
3. Mitigation ref impacts to surrounding properties and itses
The subject site is located in cl()u rlt(-)%1 n Renton and is surrounded by commercially zoned
uses. The proposed office dc,, eloprnent is riot expected to adversely impact surrounding
properties. Staff anticipates the project to add value to the site and further enhance the
commercial opportunities in the cioti� ntown area.
The proposed building would roplacc the existing loan center building and an 11 space
Surface parking lot. The existitr, builci1111 has 6,366 square feet of office space in one story
and the proposed loan center would contain 21,035 square feet of office space in three stories.
While the new building would be taI ler than the existing loan center, it would be compatible
with the existing 2-story corporate: Mink building at the northwest corner of the First Savings
Bank campus. Additionally, the site tav<}ut would be similar and the First Savings Bank
plaza area would be retained. SurrOLHICiirtly uses consist of retail commercial. eating and
drinking establishments, offices md ;3 hxriik The size, bulk, height and intensity of the
proposed project are compatihic %ti ith the zoning code.
The proposed loan center builclin,f has one main pedestrian entry which would be accessed
from the public sidewalk alone ��'c:lls :'Avenue South. This entry is at a recessed corner of the
building and would be clearly identifiable by a metal and glass canopy. Cast stone planters
would be placed at the corner entry to buffer the building from the sidewalk on Wells Avenue
South.
No additional parking areas arc proposcd and the existing landscaping for the 13 space
surface parking lot will remain. The retention of the plaza area which is accessible from
South 2`1 Street promotes the campus -like layout of the overall site.
Metal panels would screen rooftop mechanical equipmcnt. Refuse and recyclablcs containers
would be screened and placed w the rear of the property accessible from the existing alley.
While no lighting plan was subntittecl, staff is recommending that a lighting plan be provided
to ensure that excessive brightness or Marc to adjacent properties and streets is avoided.

The additional commercial office space would potentially increase the amount of activity in
the area and would add to the N ibraiw- Minn activity of the Downtown Core which in turn is
ID keeping with the implementation of' the Comprehensive Plan for Downtown Renton.
4. Mitioation of impacts of the proptr wd site plan to the site
The scale, height and bulk of the proposed building are appropriate for the site, and would he
architecturally compatible with the cxis(ing neighborhood. The building style is similar to
that of the 2-story corporate/bank i'acility on the First Savings Bank campus. Although the
proposed building is taller than ,urroundi ig buildings, the immediate area is zoned CD and
likely to change as incremental rcdcvc 1opi neat occurs. Comprehensive Plan policies
encourage taller buildings in the downtown core.
The exterior materials of the proposed bui lding would be architectural concrete masonry
units, brick, pre -finished metal panel systcros, steel and glass.
The building would have a fronmLc !milli ofapproximately 75 Ccc( along Wells Avcnuc
South and would have a perceptible %crtical rhythm of masonry walls interspersed with the
transparency of storefront windows. Tlhe horizontal architectural concrete band at the street
level as well as the step back in the huildin" mass and change In matcrial at the third floor
level would help reduce the app�ir,:w building lieight. The recessed corner entry would
transition from the rest of the by a change in material to ground face concrete masonry
units and a cantilevered glass canoe}. Roof mounted equipment would be screened by metal
panels.
To ensure compatibility with the cx1,,ting building on the First Savings Bank campus staff
recommends that a materials beard_ ;ut)-ject to the approval of the Community & Economic
Development Department Projcct Mauagcr be submitted at the time of building permit
review.
Trash and recycle containers would lie located at the rear of the proposed building. These
would be located within an enclo,ure. ,It Trade level and would comply with the requirements
of the Renton Municipal Codc (161C.' 4--1-()90).
5. Conservation of ru•ea wide property vahres
Tile proposed development is expand i o conserve and increase property values in the
vicinity of the site. The development of the site provides substantial improvements to
infrastructure and additional cmplor mciit opportunities.
6. Safety artd of ficiettcj, of'vehicic raid pedestrian circulation
The proposal would result in in incrc,Ise in traffic trips to the City's street system. The
proposed project is expected to generate 117 new average daily trips. The Environmental
Review Committee (CRC) placed a mitigation measure on the project requiring a Traffic
Mitigation Fee. The Traffic Miti ition Fee is based on a rate of S75.00 for each new average
daily trip generated by the project. ']Tc ]-ee is estimated to be $$,775.00 (1 17 daily trips x
$75.00) which would be payable prior to the issuance of building permits.
The Renton Transit Center is located south of South 2" `1 Street on Burnett Avenuc South
which is approximately one black cost of the proposed project and within walking distance.
Vehicular entry to the First Savings Baulk Northwest campus would not change as a result of
the proposed project. An existing driveway along Williams Avenue South crosses over a
public sidewalk to access the existing 44 structured parking spaces. An existing driveway
along South 2"" Street and an existing driveway along Wells Avenue South (both of which

cross public sidewalks) access tltc 13 space surface parking lot at the southwest corner of'
Wells Avenue South and South ?`1 Strce.t.
The pedestrian entry point to tlic proposed building is along Wells avenue South at the
northeast corner o£the proposed structure. The entry would have a cantilevered glass canopy.
7. Mitigation of noise, odors and other hartn_firl or ttnhealtlty conditions
Tire proposed development is not anticipated to generate any harmful or unhcalthy conditions.
There would be noise itnpacls od increased traffic and activity that are normally associated
with a commercial office project.
To reduce negative impacts associated with service elements, the recyclable and refuse
enclosure would be located at the rear ol'tlhc Building accessible via the existing alley. The
construction materials of the enclosure would be compatible with the proposed building and
would be screened by masonry walls and steel panel gates.
8. .1 vaila8ility ref ptthlic serviees and fiwilities to accommodate the proposed use
Fire and Emergency Services and Police staff have indicated existing facilities are adequate to
accommodate the subject proposal, suhicct to the applicants payment of the ncccssary impact
fees. As imposed by the ERC mititsatiOtr measures, the applicant will be required to pay a
Fire Mitigation Fee prior to the issuance ol'building permits.
Water service and other utilities lire tivailable and would be extended as necessary to the
building by the applicant as required by City code.
9. Prevention of neighborhood deterioration and blight
The proposal would redevelop a site that is currently underutilized. The investment in the
area would serve to prevent nciLhborhoocl deterioration and blight, Coordinated site
improvements including landscapirr�=, si��ttagc and lighting would be included as part of this
development,
10. Provision of adequate light and air
The proposed building would have a vertical rhythm of masonry walls interspersed with store
front windows at street level. l he horizontal band at street level as well as the step back in
the building mass and change in buildinz, material at the third floor level help reduce the
apparent building height. Curtain wall window systems at the second and third floor' levels
would allow adequate natural iiglri and stir to reach all of the perimeter office space. The
height of the proposed buildin.- is not expected to cast significant shade impacts on the
surrounding area.
Exterior onsite lighting, including security lighting is regulated by Code. Compliance with
this Code (RMC 4-4-075) ensure; that all building lights are directed onto the building or the
ground and cannot trespass be%ond the property lines. Staff does not anticipate that exterior
lighting would becomc an issue duc too- the proposed building location and the adjacent uses
provided Code requirements are met. Staff recommends that a lighting plan be submitted for
review and approval by the Community Lll�-, Economic Development project manager at the
time of building permit application_

Advisory Notes to Applicant:
The following notes are supplemental information provided in conjunction with the environmental determination.
Because these notes are provided as information only, they are not subject to the appeal process for
environmental determinations.
Water
1. City Code requires a System Development Charge (SDC) for all new and re -development. The fee for re-
development is based on the difference in size of the water meter currently (or previously) providing
domestic water service, and the meter size necessary to provide water to the redeveloped site.
2. Additional fire hydrants are required by the Fire Department. The hydrants must be connected to the
existing 12-inch water main.
3. Any existing sub -standard fire hydrants will be required to be upgraded and/or retrofitted with a quick
disconnect Storz fitting.
4. If a fire sprinkler system is required, a separate utility permit and separate plans will be required for the
installation of the double detector check valve assembly.
5. The new domestic water meter will be required to have an above ground Reduced Pressure Backflow
Assembly installed in an above ground hot box.
Sewer
1. City Code requires a System Development Charge (SDC) for any new development. This fee is based on
the size of the domestic water meter necessary to serve this site. And again, as with the water SDC fee,
the re -development credit for the site may offset any required SDC fee.
Storm
1. Surface Water System Development Charge (SDC) is required for this site. This fee is based on new
impervious surface added to the site.
ERG Advisory Notes Page 1 of 2
2. A storm and surface water drainage plan and report (per the 1990 King County Surface Water Manual; see
the seven Core requirements) has been provided required. The Technical Information Report analysis
submitted with this application has covered all of the Core requirements.
Streets/Transportation
1. A Traffic Mitigation Fee of $75.00 per Average Daily Trip shall be assessed.
2. The alley along the west side of the property will be required to be paved to the full width and length of the
property.
3. All wire utilities shall be installed underground per the City of Renton Undergrounding Ordinance. If three or
more poles are required to be moved to accommodate the development design, all existing overhead
utilities shall be placed underground_
Utility Plan Review Conditions
1. Temporary Erosion Control measures shall be installed and maintained in accordance with the Department
of Ecology Standards and staff review.
2. A Traffic Mitigation Fee of $75.00 per Average Daily Trip shall be assessed. According to the Traffic Study
submitted with this application, the project will generate 117 additional daily trips. Therefore the fee will
total $8,775. This fee is payable at time of building permit.
Fire & Emergency Services
1 _ Fire Flow: The revised fire flow calculation for this 21,369 square foot, 3-story, type I IB building, plus 180
square foot sky bridge shall require 2,500 gallons per minute for 3 hours.
2. Alleys: The alley to the south of the new structure shall be posted as "No Parking —Fire Lane" on both
sides of the alley, per City of Renton Fire Lane Ordinance.

Report of December 1, 2008 Page 2 of 6
PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1 BACKGROUND
The property has been designated as Urban Center -- Downtown (UC-D) in the Comprehensive Plan. The UC-D
is expected to redevelop as a destination shopping area providing neighborhood, citywide, and sub -regional
services and mixed -use residential development. Projects in the UC-D area are expected to incorporate mixed -
uses including retail, office, residential, and service uses that support transit and further the synergism of public
and private sector activities. The UC-D is implemented by the Center Downtown (CD) Zone. The intent of the
CD zone is to provide high -density residential and mixed -use commercial centers serving a regional market as
well as adjacent residences. In addition, the site is located in the Urban Center Design Overlay District.
The 38,865 square foot site is composed of three contiguous parcels located between Wells Avenue South and
Williams Avenue South along South 2"d Street. Parcel A is located at the southwest corner of Williams Avenue
South and South 2`d Street comprising 16,750 square feet. Parcel A contains an existing bank facility and
corporate offices, pedestrian plaza and underground parking for 44 cars. The parking garage is accessed from
Williams Avenue South,
Parcel B is located at the southeast corner of Wells Avenue South and South 2"d Street and is 16,800 square feet
in area. This parcel contains the current Loan Center office facility with drive -up teller and customer parking.
The surface parking lot contains 13 parking spaces and is accessed from Wells Avenue South and South 2nd
Street.
Parcel C is 2,914 square feet in area and is located immediately south of Parcel B on Wells Avenue South. This
parcel encompasses an 11-stall surface parking lot and a 24-foot wide dedicated City right-of-way.
The proposed project would include demolishing the existing Loan Center facility and the 11-stall surface
parking lot immediately south of it and constructing a new Loan Center. The new building footprint would be
similar to the current building, but would be expanded to cover the area of the demolished surface parking lot.
The existing 24-foot wide right-of-way to the south, which has a 7-foot wide landscape strip and driveway,
would remain. The drive would be reduced to 17-feet to preserve the landscape strip.
Additionally, the applicant is proposing the construction of a bridge that would connect the existing
bank/corporate facility to the new loan Center building at the second floor level. This would involve minor
facade changes to bank/corporate facility at the bridge connection. To facilitate the bridge connection
approximately 1,000 square feet on the second floor of the Bank/Corporate building near the bridge would be
done. This remodel would be submitted under a separate permit.
The total impervious surface area would be 35,753 square feet or 91.99 percent of the site. All pervious area of
the project site would be landscaped. The site is primarily flat and is within a seismic hazard area. Proposed
earth movement would be approximately 350 cubic yards.
PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those project
impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations.
A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials:
Issue a DNS-M with a 14-day Appeal Period.

D. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether
the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur In
conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to
have the following probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: A Geotechnical Engineering Study, prepared by Geotech Consultants, dated October 10, 2008,
was submitted with the project application. The site is situated within a Seismic Hazard Area.
The geotechnical report indicates that the site is underlain by medium -dense loose sand and gravel at a depth
of 15 to 20 feet. Loose soils are compressible under the anticipated building loads. The report recommends
that deep foundations extending into the medium -dense gravelly sand/sandy gravel be utilized for all new
building loads. The report states that the use of auger cast piers for the new deep foundations is the most
appropriate foundation method. Such piers can be installed with minimal vibration in loose soils and /or high
groundwater conditions.
Further, the geotechnical report discusses the effects of excavation on adjacent/adjoining structures.
Adjacent structures are likely supported on conventional foundations that bear on compressible soils.
According to the report, it is likely that they have undergone excessive settlement. Therefore, the report
recommends that it is imperative that unshored excavations do not extend below an inclination of 1.5:1
(horizontal: vertical). The geotechnical report recommends that contractors working on demolition and

FIRST SAVINGS LOAN CENTER LUA08-120, ECF, SA -A
Report of December 1, 2008 Page 4 of 6
construction must be cautioned to avoid strong ground vibrations, which could cause settlement in the
neighboring foundations. Proposed earth movement on the site would be approximately 350 cubic yards.
Recommendations are made in the geotechnical report for shoring and other construction techniques to
ensure that both the project and its neighboring structures are protected from the effects of excavation. These
techniques include measures to reduce strong ground vibrations during demolition and construction,
controlling water seepage and waterproofing.
In summary, the geotechnical engineering study provides recommendations for foundations, drainage,
erosion control, and retaining walls. Due to the potential for impacts which could occur during construction,
staff recommends that compliance with the recommendations of the geotechnical engineering study
submitted with the project application be required as a mitigation measure.
Mitigation Measures:
1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations of the Geotechnical Engineering Study
prepared by Geotech Consultants, Inc., dated October 10, 2008.
2. Erosion control shall be installed and maintained during construction in accordance with the State
Department of Ecology Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements as delineated in the 2005
Stormwater Management Manual.
Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations, Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual
2, Historic and Cultural Preservation
Impacts: The proposed project is located in an area with high probability for archaeological sites. While the
site has previously been disturbed by development, there remains a potential for subsurface archaeological
deposits.
In the event that archaeological artifacts are encountered during construction, staff recommends a mitigation
measure requiring that work shall immediately cease and the Washington State Department of Archaeology
and Historic Preservation shall be contacted should any archaeological artifacts be discovered during
earthwork activities.
Mitigation Measures:
1. Work shall immediately cease and the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic
Preservation shall be contacted should any archaeological artifacts be discovered during earthwork
activities.
Nexus: SEPA Regulations
3. Transportation
Impacts: The project would be accessed from South 2"d Street, Williams Avenue South and Wells Avenue
South. There are no proposed changes to the existing site access. The site currently consists of two
buildings with a retail bank and corporate bank offices totaling 38,900 square feet. The proposed project
would expand the office space on -site by 14,634 square feet to a total of 53,534 square feet. It is expected
that the project would generate 117 new average daily trips.
It is anticipated that the proposed project would result in adverse impacts to the City's street system.
Therefore, staff recommends that a mitigation measure requiring the payment of a Traffic Mitigation Fee.
This fee would be $75.00 for each new daily trip attributed to the development. The fee is estimated to be
$8,775.00 (117 daily trips x $75.00 = $8,775.00) which would be payable prior to the issuance of building
permits.
Mitigation Measures:
1, A Transportation Mitigation Fee shall be assessed at $75 per average weekday peak hour trips
generated from the project. The fee (estimated at $8,775.00) shall be paid prior to issuance of
building permits.

4. Fire & Police
Impacts: The proposal would add 14,634 square of commercial space and would potentially impact Fire and
Emergency Services. Staff recommends a mitigation measure requiring the applicant to pay a Fire
Mitigation Fee of $0.52 per square foot of new commercial space. This fee is estimated to be $7,609.68
(14,634 square feet x $0.52 = $7,609.68) which would be payable prior to the issuance of building permits.
Mitigation Measures:
1. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Fire Mitigation Fee based on a rate of $0.52 per square foot

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 4, 2008
TO: Pre -Application File No. 08-085
FROM: Gerald Wasser, Associate Planner x 7382
SUBJECT: First Savings Bank of Renton
General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre -application for the above -
referenced development proposal. 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, Planning Director,
Development Services Director, Public Works 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, plus tax, from the Finance Division on the first floor of City
Hall. Development Regulations are also available for review at no charge in the office of the
City Clerk on the 7th floor, at Development Services on the 6th floor and at the Renton
Library, or at www.rentonwa.gov.
Project Proposal: The site is addresses as 201 Wells Avenue South and consists of 3 parcels
("A" 7231501825 & 7231501830; `B" 72315019353 & 7231501940; and "C" 7231501930).
The proposal is to accomplish a minor interior remodel and add a bridge connecting the
existing bank/corporate facility to the remodeled Loan Center building on the 2nd floor level.
Minor facade changes would be required for the existing bank building at the bridge
connection only. In addition, the existing Loan Center Building would be remodeled and
expanded to the south by 25 feet, and the building height would be increased to 3 stories. An
existing surface parking lot adjacent to the drive will be demolished to accommodate the
building expansion. Existing landscaping would remain, and the existing 24-foot wide
driveway would be reduced to 17 feet in width.
Current Use: The property is currently the site of the First Savings Bank of Renton. A
major redevelopment of the bank property was completed in 2006. .
Comprehensive Plan: The site is within the Urban Center — Downtown (UC-D)
Comprehensive Plan designation. The UC-D is expected to redevelop as a destination
shopping area providing neighborhood, citywide, and sub -regional services and mixed -use
residential development. Projects in the UC-D area expected to incorporate mixed -uses
including retail, office, residential, and service uses that support transit and further the
synergism of public and private sector activities.
Pre08-085 First Savings Bank (CD, commercia]).doc
Zoning: The UC-D is implemented by the Center Downtown Zoning (CD). The intent of the
CD zone is to provide high -density residential and mixed -use commercial centers serving a
regional market as well as adjacent residences. In addition, the site is located within the
Urban Design Overlay District (see below).
Development Standards: The proposal's compliance with the CD zone development
standards and the parking regulations is addressed below:
Lot Size, Width and Depth: There are no standards for lot size, width, or depth in the CD
zone.
Lot Coverage — There is no minimum or maximum lot coverage in the Center Downtown
Zone.
Setbacks: In the CD Zone there are no minimum front yard setbacks; however, there is a
maximum setback of 15 feet for that portion of a building less than 25 feet in height, and no
maximum setback for that portion of a building greater than 25 feet in height.
In the CD Zone there is no minimum side yard along a street setback. However, there is a
maximum setback of 15 feet for that portion of a building less than 25 feet in height, and no
maximum for that portion of a building greater than 25 feet in height.
There is no rear yard or side yard setback requirement applicable to this proposal.
Landsca in — There is no minimum landscaping requirement along street frontages
applicable to this project.
He^, ight — The CD zone allows a maximum building height of 95 feet. The proposed structure
would be increased from 2 to 3-stories,with a maximum height of approximately 41 feet to the
parapet and a stair tower that would be approximately 46 feet in height, which is less than the
maximum height permitted. Conceptual building elevations were submitted for the pre -
application review; detailed descriptions of elements and building materials are required with
the site plan review submittal.
Screening -- Screening must be provided for all 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. Approval of the proposed locations of dumpster areas
by Rainier Waste Management is recommended prior to the submittal of the formal land use
application. The site plan application will need to include elevations and details for the
proposed methods of screening.
Refuse/Reaclable Areas —For retail developments a minimum of 5 square feet per every
1,000 square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for recyclable deposit areas
and a minimum of 10 square feet per 1,000 square feet of building gross floor area shall be
provided for refuse deposit areas with a total minimum area of 100 square feet. Calculations
must be provided with the application.
Access/Parking — According to the project description, 1 I existing surface parking stalls
would be eliminated as the result of the expansion of the Loan Center building. Minimum .
parking ratios are provided in RMC 4-4-080.F.10 based on the proposed land use. The
following parking ratios apply to commercial uses allowed in the CD Zone:
• No minimum required; and a maximum of I space per 1,000 square feet of net floor
area
Pre08.085 First Savings Bank (CD, commercial).doc
Calculations demonstrating that the parking requirements would be met on site must be
submitted with the application. Off site (on street) parking is not applicable to meeting these
requirements. In addition, the City's parking regulations provide specific requirements for
accessible parking spaces.
Surface parking spaces must comply with the minimum dimensions for standards and
compact stalls, with a maximum of 50 percent compact allowed).
Design — The site is subject to the Urban Center Overlay District Regulations RMC 4-3-
100. These regulations contain both standards and guidelines that affect site planning
and architecture including building and parking siting, design and materials,
modulation, common open space, access and parking. Several standards are directly
applicable to this project and should he considered thoroughly before a detailed design
is finalized. Within the regulations, the intent of each element must be met and clearly
demonstrated by the project. The "Minimum Standards" for Design District `A' are
required. "Guidelines" for District `A' are suggestions of how the intent may be met, but are
not required outright.
Sensitive Areas: Based on the City's Critical Areas Maps, the site is located in a Seismic
Hazard Area. The seismic hazard is related to potential liquefaction of soils during an
earthquake event. A geotechnical analysis for the site is required. The analysis needs to
assess soil conditions and detail construction measures to assure building stability.
In addition to the geotechnical analysis, if excavation is going to occur for the expansion of
the Loan Center building, the applicant may be required to submit an archeological
resource survey of the site due to the potential of archeological resources present on site.
This report will not be required at the time of formal land use application, however it
may be required at a later time based on comments the City receives from the State
Office of Archeology and Historic Preservation. In order to complete this report, the
applicant will be required to hire a state approved archeologist to conduct the site
investigation and prepare a report to the State Office of Archeology and Historic Preservation.
Environmental Review: The proposed project would be subject to Environmental (SEPA)
Review as the proposal would result in the construction of more than 4,000 square feet of new
commercial development, and is therefore, not Categorically Exempt per WAC 197-11-800.
Permit Requirements: The proposal would require Administra ive Site Plan approval, and
Environmental (SEPA) Review. t .11 e1141 ���� � s)c
In addition to the required land use permits, separate construction, building and sign permits
would be required. The review of these permits may occur concurrently with the review of
the land use permits, but cannot be issued prior to the completion of any appeal periods.
Impact Mitigation Fees: In addition to the applicable building and construction fees, the
following mitigation fees would be required prior to the issuance of building permits.
♦ A Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per new daily trip attributed to
the development; and
♦ A Fire Mitigation Fee based on $0.52 per square feet of new development.

Subject: Urban Center Design Overla.v District Report
The subject property is designated as Djswct `,A' on the Urban Center. Design Overlay District T1ap
per City of Renton's Comprehensive Plan. The following summarizes our design intent as applicable
to Urban Center Design Overlay - District "_1" guidelines.
The proposed First Savings Bank N'X` -I,oan Center is a (3) storied structure that comprises one of
the two buildings on the site. The exi,tilig hirst Savings Bank Corporate Center at the NW and the
proposed building at the SF form an `i,` ,Rape configuration of the building mass with a shared open
space in the center. The open area pro isles packing and effective landscape opportunities.
The primary entrance to the building is acces cd through an inviting recessed corner entry that opens
directly to the sidewalk along Wells A%eiiuc S and creates a pedestrian -oriented space. The direct
connection to the sidewalk encourages the lir-cly urban character of the district. The two buildings on
the site are connected by pedestrian pathwas.s and landscape elements,
The buildings are also connected through their- architectural vocabulary and building articulation
resulting in a cohesive appearance which %vas one of the program requirements. The screens for the
mechanical equipment at the upper floor are stepped back which helps reduce the apparent bulk of
the building and provide a relief from the surrounding roof lines.
The existing surface parking lot located in the NY corner shall remain. Also, there is an existing First
Savings Bank basement parking which shall remain. The basement parking is accessed by Williams
Avenue S and the surface parking is accessed b�_ S 2�d Street & Wells Avenue S_
We propose to keep most of the existing landscape at the surface parking area which will work as a
screen and transition between the pedestrian sidewalk and the parking lot. The existing plaza lends

itself as an accessible and inviting place for workers and visitors. There is a new landscape strip
added to the south of the proposed building separating it from the driveway.
To reduce any negative impact of service elements, such as refuse and recycling containers, we
propose to locate them on the back of the building accessed by an existing 16'-0" alley_ The
enclosure will be made of masonry walls and steel panel gates.
The building facade of approximately 75 feet along the street has a perceptible vertical rhythm of
masonry walls interspersed with transparency of the store front windows, The horizontal
architectural concrete band at the street level as well as the step back in the building mass and change
in material at the third floor level help reduce the apparent building height setting a comfortable
scale. The recessed corner entry transitions from the rest of the facade by change in material to
ground face CMU and a cantilevered glass canopy.
The building materials proposed are architectural concrete masonry unit, brick, pre -finished metal
panel system, steel and glass and are consistent with the surrounding urban development, These
materials provide a high standard of quality and effective maintenance over time.

Subject: Traffic Study Narrative
The proposed development is located in the northern section of the city block bound by South
Second Street to the north, South Third Street to the south, Wells Avenue South to the east and
Williams Avenue South to the west. The Site has frontage on all but South 3=a Street. The site
consists of two existing buildings with retail bank and corporate bank offices totaling 38,900 square
feet. The proposed project includes demolishing one building and constructing a new building in it's
place that would expand the office space by 14,634 square feet for a total of 53,534 square feet.
There are no proposed changes to the existing site access intersections which include South Second
Street, Williams Avenue S, and Wells Avenue South. All of the site access intersections, except at
Wells Avenue S, will provide ingress and egress movements. The site access intersection at Wells
Avenue S only provides ingress movements with direct access to the bank drive -through lane. A
dedicated Right of Way south of the site provides egress for the drive -up banking.
The existing land uses include 33,900 SF of corporate office and 5,000 SF of bank. The proposed
site will include a total of 48,534 square feet of corporate office and 5,000 square feet of drive-in
bank. The total added area is 14,634 SF of corporate office.
The calculated peak trip generation is based on ITE Land Use code 714 for corporate headquarters
building.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY
Proposed New Loan Facility Building
207 Wells Avenue South
Renton, Washington
This report presents the findings and recommendations of our geotechnical engineering study for
the proposed new building in Renton.
We were provided with Schematic Plans prepared by Baylis Architects that showed the proposed
site development and floor plans. Based on this Information, and our discussions with Meredith
Everist of Baylis Architects, we expect that the existing two-story building will be demolished and
replaced by a new three-story structure. Additionally, the footprint of the building will be extended
southward between 20 and 25 feet. The new southern expansion will also have three floors, and
will cover an area of existing on -grade parking stalls. The new building will have a concrete slab
floor near the existing grade, similar to the existing building. As a result, the depth of excavation
below the existing ground surface will be very limited. We understand that the new building will
likely be of metal frame construction with a brick facade.
From our discussions with the design team, and review of the 1967 geotechnical report prepared
by Neil H. Twelker & Associates, we expect that the existing structure Is supported on deep
foundations consisting of driven plies. Some of the existing driven piles may be reused to support
the new structure. The previous report recommends an allowable compressive capacity of 25 tons
for driven timber piles when driven to a depth of at least 20 feet.
If the scope of the project changes from what we have described above, we should be provided
with revised plans in order to determine if modifications to the recommendations and conclusions of
this report are warranted.
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE
The Vicinity Map, Plate 1, illustrates the general location of the site, The existindg Loan Facility
building is situated on the south side of a parking lot on the southwest corner of 2" Avenue South
and South Wells Street. The current building is a two-story structure with .a brick facade. To the
west of the building is an alley, with paved parking and drive area to the south. The property
around the existing structure Is essentially fiat.
To the west of the existing building, across the alley, Is a larger building for First Financial
Northwest. West of the proposed expansion area Is an older, smaller commercial building. Paved
parking adjoins the south side of the site, with a two-story commercial building to the south of that.
As discussed above, the existing building on the site is apparently supported on driven piles of
some type. We observed evidence that the ground surface around the structure has settled over
time relative to the pile -supported building. This is most evident along the southern wall of the
building, where the asphalt pavement has cracked and settled relative to the grade beam that
supports the building wall.

The site was originally explored in 1967 by drilling two test borings. We supplemented this
previous information by .drilling a single boring in the area of the proposed expansion. The
approximate locations of the previous and current borings are shown on the attached Site
Exploration Plan, Additionally, our firm has provided geotechnical engineering services for many of
the new mixed -use and residential buildings in downtown Renton, which has included drilling
borings, and observing excavation and foundation installation.
The recent boring was drilled on October 3, 2008 using a traller-mounted, hollow -stem auger drill.
Samples were taken at 5-foot intervals with a standard penetration sampler. This split -spoon
sampler, which has a 2-inch outside diameter, is driven into the soil with a 140-pound hammer
falling 30 inches. The number of blows required to advance the sampler a given distance is an
indication of the soil density or consistency. A geologist from our staff observed the drilling
process, logged the test boring, and obtained representative samples of the soil encountered. The
flog of the recent test boring is attached as Plate 3, while the previous exploration results are
included as an appendix.
Soil Conditions
In general, the downtown Renton area is underlain by medium -dense recessional alluvium
consisting of very gravelly sand to sandy gravel. This soil has is very coarse -grained, and
has been deposited by fast -flowing water. However, a number of old river channels that
have scoured away the gravelly soil crisscross the downtown area. These old channels
have subsequently been filled in with looser, siltier soils either naturally or by man. It is now
difficult to trace the pre-existing river channels, due to the grading and development that
have occurred in the downtown area.
All three of the borings found the medium -dense sandy gravel/gravelly sand soils.
Unfortunately, the uppermost soil encountered in the two previous borings was loose, silty
sand that appears to have been more recent sediment that covered over soft, organic silt
located on the northern portion of the property. In all of the borings, the native sandy
gravel/gravelly sand did not become consistently medium -dense until a depth of 15 to 20
feet below the existing ground surface.
The conditions revealed by both the previous and current explorations are consistent with
those that have been encountered on nearby sites.
Large gravels and cobbles are common in the native coarse -grained soils.
No obstructions were revealed by our explorations. However, debris, buried utilities, and old
foundation and slab elements are commonly encountered on sites that have had previous
development.
Groundwater Condlflons
Groundwater seepage was observed in the recent boring at a depth of approximately 18.5
feet. One of the previous borings was extended deep enough to reach groundwater
seepage, which was found at a depth of approximately 20 feet at the time of that drilling.
Groundwater levels can be difficult to accurately measure in test borings, as the auger can
tend to seal out groundwater seepage, and the exploration is open for only a short time.

However, it is our experience that the seepage revealed in the borings reflects the area -
wide water table that underlies the downtown Renton area. Our boring was conducted at
the and of summer, when groundwater levels would be expected to be near their lowest. It
is common for the water table to rise several feet through the winter and spring, depending
on the amount and duration of precipitation.
The stratification lines on the logs of the borings represent the approximate boundaries between .
soil types at the exploration locations. The actual transition between soil types may be gradual,
and subsurface conditions can vary between exploration locations. The logs provide specific
subsurface information only. at the locations tested. If a transition in soil type occurred between
samples in the borings, the depth of the transition was interpreted. The relative densities and
moisture .descriptions Indicated on the boring logs are interpretive descriptions based on the
conditions observed during drilling.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL
THIS SECTION CONTAINS A SUMMARY OF OUR STUDY AND FINDINGS FOR THE PURPOSES OF A
GENERAL OVERVIEW ONLY. MORE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS ARE.
CONTAINED IN THE REMAINDER OF THiS REPORT. ANY PARTY RELYING ON THIS REPORT SHOULD
READ THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT.
The site Is underlain by loose sand and gravel that became medium -dense below a depth of 15 to
20 feet. The looser near -surface soils are compressible, which has caused settlement of
surrounding Older buildings that are supported on shallow foundations. Considering the anticipated
building loads and the expected use of the building, it is our professional opinion that the use of
conventional foundations bearing on the loose soils is not appropriate to support either existing or
new construction. This Is confirmed.by the varying amounts of settlement observed in surrounding
buildings, pavements, sidewalks, etc., and the fact that the existing building has utilized deep
foundations consisting of driven. piles. We recommend that deep foundations extending Into the
medium -dense gravelly sand/sandy gravel be utilized for all new building loads. Considering that
the slab floor will be used for office space and have high foot traffic, It should be designed as a
structural slab to span between the foundations without depending on long-term support from the
underlying soils.
We have considered different types of deep foundations for support of the planned structure. The
building loads need to be carried down to the medium -dense soils found 15 to 20 feet below the
ground surface. While driven, large -diameter piling was apparently used to support the existing
construction, we now recommend against their use in developed or urban areas. Installation of
large -diameter driven piles creates strong ground vibrations that can densify the near -surface loose
soils, •potentially causing additional settlement of nearby structures, utilities, pavements and other
on -grade elements that bear on the loose, near -surface soils. Small -diameter pipe piles would not
develop a sufficient capacity in the clean sand and gravel soils for support of heavy building loads.
Deep ground Improvement techniques, such as GeoPiersTm or stone columns can transfer building
loads down to the competent soils and would allow the use of a conventional foundation system
bearing on the improved ground. However, these systems are usually Installed with large vibratory
probes or by compacting aggregate Into drilled holes. This results In ground vibrations that would at
(4Fr)TF.r:H MNSULTANTS. INC.

October 10, 2008 Page 4
least be ' perceptible to neighbors, and which could also cause settlement and damage of
surrounding on -grade and buried elements. We understand that this potential risk Is being reviewed
with specialty contractors. Footings placed on improved ground could be designed for an allowable
bearing capacity of 2,500 to 3,000 pounds per square foot (psf). However, as an additional design
consideration, we would expect that footings placed on improved ground would settle differentially
relative to foundations that may be carried on existing piles.
Considering the above considerations, it is our professional opinion that the use of augercast piers
for the new deep foundations is the most appropriate. These piers can be installed with minimal
vibration in loose soils and/or high groundwater conditions. If necessary, piers could also be
Installed inside the footprint of the existing building to support new building loads. It would be
important that load -carrying piles or piers be spaced no closer than 3 diameters center -to -center, in
order to avoid overlapping bearing zones. All of the newer buildings we have worked on in the
downtown area have utilized augercast piers for support.
As experienced by the southern parking area, the ground surrounding the new and existing
portions of the building will tend to settle relative to the foundations over time.. Where exterior slabs
and walkways lead up to doorways they should be reinforced and doweled into the grade beam.
This prevents the slab/walkway from settling relative to the door threshold, which would cause a
sharp downset (i.e., trip hazard). Maintaining a visual buffer, such as landscaping, around the
foundation helps to reduce the visual indications of this differential settlement.
The adjacent structures are likely supported on conventional foundations that beacon compressible
soils. As a result, it is likely that they have undergone excessive settlement already. There is
always some risk associated with demolition and foundation construction near structures such as
this. It is imperative that unshored excavations do not extend below a 2:1 (Horizontal:Verbcal)
imaginary bearing zone sloping downward from existing footings. Contractors working on the
demolition and construction of the building must be cautioned to avoid strong ground vibrations,
which could cause additional settlement in the neighboring foundations. During demolition, strong
pounding on the ground with the excavator, which is often used to break up debris and concrete,
should not occur. Large equipment and vibratory compactors should not be used close to the
property fines. These considerations should be discussed with the general, demolition, and
earthwork contractors before starting any sitework. They may also have additional suggestions
about how to reduce potential ground vibrations.
If the structure includes an elevator, it may be necessary to provide special drainage or
waterproofing measures for the elevator pit. If no seepage into the elevator pit is acceptable, it will
be necessary to provide a footing drain and free draining wall backfill, and the walls should be
waterproofed. If the footing drain will be too low to connect to the storm drainage system, then it
will likely be necessary to install a pumped sump to discharge the collected water. Alternatively,
the elevator pit could be designed to be entirely waterproof; this would include designing the pit
structure to resist hydrostatic uplift pressures.
The erosion control measures needed during the site development will depend heavily on the
weather conditions that are encountered. The existing pavement should be left in place wherever
possible during site earthwork and construction of the building, in order to limit the amount of
exposed soil. Soil stockpiles should be covered with plastic during wet weather. Any silt -laden
water accumulating in the excavation should be prevented from flowing off -site or being improperly
discharged to the storm system.

The drainage and/or waterproofing recommendations presented in this report are: Intended only -to
prevent active.seepage from flowing through concrete walls or slabs. Even in the absence of active
seepage Into and beneath structures, water vapor can migrate through walls, slabs, and floors from
the surrounding soil, and can even be transmitted from slabs and foundation walls -due to -the
concrete curing process. Excessive water vapor trapped within structures can result In a variety of
undesirable conditions, including, but not limited to, moisture problems with flooring systems,
excessively moist air within occupied areas, and the growth of molds, fungi, and other biological
organisms that may be harmful to the health of the occupants. The designer or architect must
consider the potentiai vapor sources and likely occupant uses, and provide sufficient ventilation,
either passive or mechanical, to prevent a build up of excessive water vapor within the planned
structure.
Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be allowed to review the final development plans to verify that the
recommendations presented in this report are adequately addressed in the design. Such a plan
review would be additional work beyond the current scope of work for this study, and it may Include
revisions to our recommendations to accommodate site, development, and geotechnical
constraints that become more evident during the review process.
We recommend Including this report, in its entirety, In the project contract documents.
SEISMIC CONSIDERA77ONS
In accordance with Table 1613.5.2 of the 2006 International Building Code (IBC), -the site soil
profile within 100 feet of the ground surface is best represented by Soil Profit Type D (Stiff Soil
Profile. The augercest foundation piers recommended In this report will be embedded Into medium -
dense to dense, non -liquefiable soils, mitigating the potential hazard of excessive foundation.
settlement during an earthquake. As liquefaction would only occur In loose, saturated soils, the
potential for seismic liquefaction or lateral spreading on this site Is negligible.
As noted in the USGS website, the mapped spectral acceleration value for a 0.2 second (Si) and
1.0 second period (S4) equals 1.43g and 0.49g, respectively.
AUGERCAST CONCRETE PIERS
Augercast piers are installed using continuous €light, hollow -stem auger equipment mounted on a
crane. Concrete grout must be pumped continuously through the auger as it is withdrawn. This
allows the piers to be installed where caving conditions or significant groundwater are anticipated.
We recommend that augercast piers be installed by an experienced contractor who is familiar with
the anticipated subsurface conditions.
An allowable compressive capacity of 35 tons and 45 tons can be attained by installing a 16-inch-
diameter, augarcast concrete pier at least 10 feet and 15 feet, respectively, into medium -dense to
dense, native sand and gravel. For 1&inch-diameter piers, an allowable compressive capacity of
45 tons and 55 tons can be assumed for 10 feet and 15 feet of embedment, respectively. For
transient loading, such as wind or seismic loads, the allowable pier capacity may be Increased by
one-third. We can provide design criteria for different pier diameters and embedment lengths, if
greater capacities are required. The minimum center -to -center pier spacing should be three times
the pier diameter. Based on our boring Information, we estimate that average pier lengths of about
30 feet will be required to achieve adequate penetration into the bearing soil.
GEOTECH CONSULTANTS. INC.
First Financial Northwest, Inc. JN 08269
October 10, 2008 Page 6
We estimate that the total settlement of single piers installed as described above will be on the
order of one-half inch. Most of this settlement should occur during the construction phase as the
dead loads are applied. The remaining post -construction settlement would be realized as- the live
loads are applied. We estimate that differential settlements over any portion of the structure should
be less than about one -quarter inch.
The allowable uplift capacity of a pier can be determined by multiplying an allowable skin.friction of
800 pounds be square foot (psf) by the pier's surface area in the embedment length.
We recommend reinforcing each pier its entire length. This typically consists of a rebar cage
extending a portion of the pier's length with a full-length center bar. Each pier can be assumed to.
have a point of fixity (point of maximum bending moment) at 12 feet below the top of the pier for
design of the reinforcing. The loose soil against the piers can be assumed to have a design
passive earth resistance of 200 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) acting on two times the pier diameter.
Passlve-earth pressures on the grade beams will also provide some lateral resistance. if structural
fill is placed against the outside of the grade beams, the design passive earth pressure from the fill
can be assumed to be equal to that pressure exerted by an equivalent fluid with a density of 200
pcf. This passive resistance is an ultimate value that does not include a safety factor.
PERMANENT FOUNDATION AND RETAINING WALLS
No significant retaining walls are expected for this project. However, walls backfilled on only one
side should be designed to resist the lateral earth pressures imposed by the soil they retain. The
following recommended parameters are for walls that restrain level backfiil:
Where: (1) pcf Is pounds per cubic foot, and (11) active and
passive earth pressures are computed using the equivalent fluid
pressures.
* For a restrained wall that cannot deflect at least 0.002 times its
height, a uniform lateral pressure equal to 10 psf times the height
of the wall should be added to the above active equivalent fluid
pressure.
The values given above are to be used to design permanent foundation and retaining wails only.
The passive pressure given is appropriate for the depth of level structural fill placed in front of a
retaining or foundation wall only. The value for passive resistance is an ultimate value and does
not include a safety factor. We recommend a safety factor of at least 1.5 for overturning and
sliding, when using the above values to design the walls. Restrained wall soil parameters should
be utilized for a distance of 1.5 times the wall height from comers or bends in the walls. This is
intended to reduce the amount of cracking that can occur where a wall is restrained by a corner.
The design values given above do not include the effects of any hydrostatic pressures behind the
walls and assume that no surcharges, such as those caused by slopes, vehicles, or adjacent
GEOTECH CONSULTANTS, INC.
First Financial Northwest, Inc.

Page 7
foundations will be exerted on the walls. If these conditions exist, those pressures should be added
to the above lateral soli pressures. Where sloping backfill Is desired behind the walls, we will need
to be given the wall dimensions and the slope of the backfill in order to provide the appropriate
design earth pressures. The surcharge due to traffic loads behind a wall can typically be accounted
for by adding a uniform pressure equal to 2 feet multiplied by the above active fluid density. -
Heavy construction equipment should not be operated behind retaining and foundation walls within
a distance equal to the height of a wall, unless the walls are designed for the additional lateral
pressures resulting from the equipment. The wall design criteria assume that the backfill will be
well -compacted Im lifts no thicker than 12 inches. The compaction of backfill near the walls should
be accomplished with hand -operated equipment to prevent the walls from being overloaded by the
higher soil forces that occur during compaction.
Retaining Wall Backflll and Water
prvofina
Backfill placed behind retaining or foundation wails should be coarse, free -draining
structural fill containing no organics. This backfill should contain no more than 5 percent silt
or clay particles and have no gravel greater than 4 inches in diameter. The percentage of
particles passing the No. 4 sieve should be between 26 and 70 peroent. If the clean, native
sand and gravel is used as backfill, a drainage composite similar to Miradrain 6000 should
be placed against the backfilled retaining walls. The drainage composites should be
hydraulically connected to the foundation drain system. Free -draining backfill -or gravel
should be used for the entire width of the backfill where seepage is encountered. For
increased protection, drainage composites should be placed along cut slope faces, and the
walls should be backfilled entirely with free -draining soil. The later section entitled
Drainage Considerations should also be reviewed for recommendations related to
subsurface drainage behind foundation and retaining walls.
The purpose of these backfill requirements is to ensure that the design criteria for a
retaining wall are not exceeded because of a build-up of hydrostatic pressure behind the
wall. The top 12 to 18 inches of the backfill should consist of a compacted, relatively
impermeable soil or topsoil, or the surface should be paved. The ground surface must also
slope away from backfilled walls to reduce the potential for surface water to percolate into
the backfill. The section entitled General Earthwork and Structural Fill contains
recommendations regarding the placement and compaction of structural fill behind retaining
and foundation walls.
The above recommendations are not intended to waterproof below -grade walls, or to
prevent the formation of mold, mildew or fungi In interior spaces. Over time, the
performance of subsurface drainage systems can degrade, subsurface groundwater flow
patterns can change, and utilities can break or develop leaks. Therefore, waterproofing
should be provided where future seepage through the walls is not acceptable. This typically
Includes limiting cold joints and wall penetrations, and using bentonite panels or
membranes on the outside of the walls. There are a variety of different waterproofing
materials and systems, which should be installed by an experienced contractor familiar with
the anticipated construction and subsurface conditions. Applying a thin coat of asphalt
emulsion to the outside face of a wall is not considered waterproofing, and will only help to
reduce moisture generated from water vapor or capillary action from seeping through the
concrete. As with any project, adequate ventilation of basement and crawl space areas is
Important to prevent a build up of water vapor that is commonly transmitted through
concrete wails from the surrounding soil, even when seepage is not present. This is

appropriate even when waterproofing is applied to the outside of foundation and retaining
walls. We recommend that you contact a specialty consultant -if detailed recommendations
or specifications related to waterproofing. design, or minimizing the potential for infestations
of mold and mildew are desired.
The General, Slabs -On -Grade, and Drainage Considerations sections should be
reviewed for additional recommendations related to the control of groundwater and excess
water vapor for the anticipated construction.
SLAB FLOORS
Even where the exposed soils appear dry, water vapor will tend to naturally migrate upward through
the soil to the new constructed space above it. All interior slabs -on -grade must be underlain by a
capillary break or drainage layer consisting of a minimum 4-inch thickness of gravel or crushed
rock that has a fines content (percent passing the No. 200 sieve) of less than 3 percent and a sand
content (percent passing the No. 4 sieve) of no more than.10 percent. As noted by the American
Concrete Institute (ACI) in the Guides for Concrete Fioor and Slab Structures, proper moisture
protection is desirable immediately below any on -grade slab that will be covered by tile, wood,
carpet, impermeable floor coverings, or any moisture -sensitive equipment or products. ACI also
notes that vapor retarders, such as 6-mil plastic sheeting, are typically used. A vapor retarder Is
defined as a material with a permeance of less than 0.3 US perms per square foot (psf) per hour,
as determined by ASTM E 96. It is possible that concrete admixtures may meet this specification,
although the manufacturers of the admixtures should be consulted. Where plastic sheeting is used
under slabs, joints should overlap by at least 6 inches and be sealed with adhesive tape. The
sheeting should extend to the foundation walls for maximum vapor protection. If no potential for
vapor passage through the slab is desired, a vapor barrier should be used, A vapor bamer, as
defined by ACI, is a product with a water transmission rate of 0.00 perms per square foot per hour
when tested in accordance with ASTM E 96. Reinforced membranes having sealed overlaps can
meet this requirement.
We recommend that the contractor, the project materials engineer, and the owner discuss these
issues and review recent ACI literature and ASTM E-164.3 for installation guidelines and guidance
on the use of the protectionlblotter material. Our opinion is that with impervious surfaces that all
means should be undertaken to reduce water vapor transmission.
EXCA VATIONS AND SLOPES
Excavation slopes should not exceed the limits specified in local, state, and national government
safety regulations. Temporary cuts to a depth of about 4 feet may be attempted vertically in
unsaturated soll, if there are no indications of slope instability. However, vertical cuts should not be
made near property boundaries, or existing utilities and structures. Based upon Washington
Administrative Code (WAC) 296, Part N, the soil at the subject site would generally be classified as
Type C. Therefore, temporary cut slopes greater than 4 feet in height should not be excavated at
an inclination steeper than 1.5:1 (HorizontaLVertical), extending continuously between the top and
the bottom of a cut. We have been Involved with previous projects in the vicinity where similar soils
would not stand in a steeper 1:1 (H:V) temporary cut. In addition, no unshored cuts should be
made within a 2:1 (H:V) inclination of any existing footings. Excavation shoring should be planned
for temporary cuts that cannot be made within these limits, or where existing structures and on -
grade elements would be endangered by the excavation.
r.PnrFr.W r.nhK1 ii TAMTC IMr.
First Financial Northwest, Inc. JN 08269
October 10, 2008 Page 9
The above -recommended temporary slope inclination is based on the conditions exposed in our
explorations, and on what has been successful at other sites with similar soil conditions. It is
possible that variations in soil and groundwater conditions will require modifications to the
inclination at which temporary slopes can stand. Temporary cuts are those that will remain.
unsupported for a relatively short duration to allow for the construction of foundations, retaining
walls, or, utilities. Temporary cut slopes should be protected with plastic sheeting during wet
weather. it is also important that surface water be directed away from temporary slope cuts. The
cut slopes should also be backfilled or retained as soon as possible to reduce the potential for
Instability. Please note that loose soil can cave suddenly and without warning. Excavation,
foundation, and utility contractors should be made especially aware of this potential danger. These
recommendations may need to be modified if the area near the potential cuts has been disturbed in
the past by utility installation, or if settlement -sensitive utilities are located nearby.
DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS
Foundation drains should be used where (1) crawl spaces or basements will be below the structure,
(2) a slab is below the outside grade, or (3) the outside grade does not slope downward from the
building. Drains should also be placed at the base of all earth -retaining walls. Footing drains
should consist of 4-inch, perforated PVC pipe surrounded by at least 6 Inches of 1-inch-minus,
washed rock wrapped in a non -woven, geotextile filter fabric (Mirafi 140N, Supac 4NP, or similar
material). At its highest point, a perforated pipe invert should be at least 6 inches below the level of
a crawl space or the bottom of a floor slab, and it should be sloped slightly for drainage. Plate 4
presents typical considerations for footing drains. All roof and surface water drains must be kept
separate from the foundation drain system.
If the structure includes an elevator, It may be necessary to provide special drainage or
waterproofing measures for the elevator pit. If no seepage into the elevator pit Is acceptable, it will
be necessary to provide a footing drain and free -draining wall backfill, and the walls should be
waterproofed. If the footing drain will be too low to connect to the storm drainage system, then it
will likely be necessary to install a pumped sump to discharge the collected water. Altematively,
the elevator pit could be designed to be entirely waterproof, this would include designing the pit
structure to resist hydrostatic uplift pressures.
Deep groundwater was observed during our field work. We do not expect that•the project will
involve excavation extending deep enough to encounter groundwater. If deep excavation Is
planned, then extensive dewatering combined with shoring would be needed.
Water should not be allowed to stand in any area where foundations, slabs, or pavements are to be
constructed. Final site grading in areas adjacent to the building should slope away at least 2
percent, except where the area is paved. Surface drains should be provided where necessary to
prevent ponding of water behind foundation or retaining walls.
GENERAL EARTHWORK AND STRUCTURAL FILL
All building and pavement areas should be stripped of surface vegetation, topsoil, organic soil, and
other deleterious material. The stripped or removed materials should not be mixed with any
materials to be used as structural fill, but they could be used in nonstructural areas, such as
landscape beds.

Structural fill is defined as any fill, including utility :backfill, placed under, or close to, a building,
behind permanent retaining or foundation walls, or in other.areas where the underlying soil needs
to support loads. All structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts with moisture content at, or
near, the optimum moisture content. The optimum moisture content is that moisture content that
results in the greatest compacted dry density. The moisture content of fill Is very important and
must be closely controlled during the filling and compaction process. The on -site sand and gravel
is well suited for reuse as structural fill, while the siltier soils are not.
The allowable thickness of the fill lift will depend on the material type selected, the compaction
equipment used, and the number of passes made to compact the lift. The loose lift thickness
should not exceed 12 inches. As discussed above, strong ground vibrations that can be caused by
large compactors, such as vibratory rollers, should be avoided. As a result, it is best to use well -
graded structural fill that can be more easily compacted with a limited amount of effort,
We recommend testing the. fill as it is placed. If the fill is not sufficiently compacted, it can be
recompacted before another lift is placed. This eliminates the need to remove the fill to achieve the
required compaction.
The following table presents recommended relative compactions for structural fill:
Where: Minimum Relative compaction is the ratio, expressed in
percentages, of the compacted dry density to the maximum dry
density, as determined in accordance with ASTIR Test
Designation D 1I557-91 (Modified Proctor).
Structural fill that will be placed in wet weather should consist of a coarse, granular soil with a silt or
Clay content of no more than 5 percent. The percentage of particles passing the No. 200 sieve
should be measured from that portion of soil passing the three -quarter -inch sieve.
LIMITATIONS
The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on site conditions as
they existed at the time of our exploration and assume that the soil and groundwater conditions
encountered in the borings are representative of subsurface conditions on the site. if the
subsurface conditions encountered during construction are significantly different from those
observed in our explorations, we should be advised at once so that we can review these conditions
and reconsider our recommendations where necessary. Unanticipated soil conditions are
commonly encountered on construction sites and cannot be fully anticipated by merely taking soil
samples in borings. Subsurface conditions can also vary between exploration locations. Such
unexpected conditions frequently require making additional expenditures to attain a properly

constructed project. It is recommended that the owner consider providing a contingency fund to
accommodate such potential extra costs and risks. This is a standard recommendation for- ail
projects.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of First Financial Northwest, and its
representatives, for specific application to this project and site. Our conclusions and
recommendations are professional opinions derived in accordance with current standards of
practice within the scope of our services and within budget and time constraints. No warranty is
expressed or implied. The scope of our services does not include services related to construction
safety precautions, and our recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor's methods,
techniques, sequences, or procedures, except as specifically described in our report for
consideration in design. Our services also do not include assessing or minimizing the potential for
biological hazards, such as mold, bacteria, mildew and fungi in either the existing or proposed site
development.
ADDITIONAL ER—WCES
In addition to reviewing the final plans, Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be retained to provide
geotechnical consultation, testing, and observation services during construction. This is to confirm
that subsurface conditions are consistent with those indicated by our exploration, to evaluate
whether earthwork and foundation construction activities comply with the general intent of the
recommendations presented in this report, and to provide suggestions for design changes in the
event subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated prior to the start of construction.
However, our work would not include the supervision or direction of the actual work of the
contractor and its employees or agents. Also, job and site safety, and dimensional measurements,
will be the responsibility of the contractor.
During the construction phase, we will provide geotechnical observation and testing services when
requested by you or your representatives. Please be aware that we can only document site work
we actually observe. It is still the responsibility of your contractor or on -site construction team to
verify that our recommendations are being followed, whether we are present at the site or not.
The scope of our work did not include an environmental assessment, but we can provide this
service, if requested.

PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: iN
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21 C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to
consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the
quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the
agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be
done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal.
Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most
precise information known, or give the best description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases,
you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need
to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write
"do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary
delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark
designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can
assist you.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant
adverse impact.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS:
Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not
apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D)_
For nonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the references in the
checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal,"
"proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.
