In addition to Tanner Micheli representing Topgolf and Jenelle Taflin representing Navix Engineering, there were a twelve meeting attendees, including three people from the City of Renton. Please see the attached sign-in sheet for attendee information. Please find below a summary of the topics discussed at the meeting. Traffic Congestion on Adjacent Logan Avenue Concern: Residents of the North Renton Neighborhood expressed their concern about the impact of the proposed Topgolf development on the already congested Logan Avenue to the west of the project site. They specifically mentioned the congestion during peak hours along Logan Avenue, starting roughly around the Boeing shift change that occurs at approximately 2:30 pm. They inquired if an access off of 8th might be feasible to alleviate congestion along Logan. Response: As described by Tanner Micheli, Director of Real Estate Development at Topgolf, the peak arrival time for Topgolf customers is within the 7:00-9:00 pm timeframe, which falls outside of peak commute hours. Moreover, in addition to the proposed entrances/exits onto the site off of Logan Avenue, an entrance/exit off of Park Avenue will be provided, which will also provide customer access to the Topgolf facility. Along with the off-peak access times for the Topgolf customers, the proposed additional interconnected entrance/exit off of Park Avenue will help to alleviate potential congestion along Logan Avenue. Residents also mentioned the potential for wayfinding measures, which Topgolf would look into as deemed necessary. Mr. Micheli mentioned that they often work directly with mapping outfits, such as Google Maps, to ensure that these applications are providing the most expeditious routes to the facility. Parking Sufficiency Concern: Residents inquired as to whether sufficient parking will be provided on-site. Response: Mr. Micheli responded that the proposed development will seek to accommodate up to 475 stalls, the established required number of stalls for a Topgolf facility such as this, through a combination of surface stalls and parking garage stalls. The parking garage will be constructed as part of the mixed- use development in the northeastern portion of the property. Height of Building Concern: Residents inquired about the height of the building and the net poles. Response: Mr. Micheli responded that the building will be a 3-story structure and the net poles will be 170' in height. He also mentioned that the project team will be coordinating with the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) on the allowable heights of all structures on-site and will adhere to the heights as approved/permitted by the FAA. Net Pole and Netting Color Concern: Residents inquired about the color of the net poles and netting. Response: Mr. Micheli responded that the net poles are a bluish-grayish color that blends in well with the open air backdrop. The netting color is black and is 90-92% transparent.

Light Pollution Impacts Concern: Residents expressed concern regarding light spillage. Response: Mr. Micheli responded that their overall site lighting design will achieve zero light spillage at property boundaries. Noise Impacts Concern: Residents inquired about noise from the facility. Response: Mr. Micheli mentioned that they have conducted many noise studies over the years and noise impacts have not been an issue for Topgolf facilities. He mentioned a facility in Northern California that is located 400' from a residential development at which no noise complaints have been made. Zoning Code Changes Concern: The residents inquired if any zoning code changes will be needed to permit the proposed development. Response: City staff responded that no zoning code changes will be needed. Construction Timeframe Concern: Residents inquired about construction timing and whether local labor would be employed. Response: Mr. Micheli responded that the they hope to start construction in 2020 with completion in 2021. It is typically a 10-month construction period with up to 8 weeks of employee training prior to opening. He also mentioned that they aim to hire up to 90% of local contractor/labor. Business Longevity Concern: Residents inquired about the longevity of company and its presence in the community, being wary of the vacant Sam's Club store down the street. Response: Mr. Micheli described the history of Topgolf and its future as a premier entertainment venue. He said they chose Renton as they see vast potential in this burgeoning City and are committed to being a part of Renton's growth for decades to come. Community Outreach Concern: Residents inquired about any community outreach efforts on behalf of Topgolf. Response: Mr. Micheli mentioned that the store manager will be engaged with the community and that he/she is responsible for organizing their community outreach efforts, including such activities at Spirit Nights for local elementary schools.
