Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is submitting this Lot Line Adjustment application for the purpose of
selling the property surrounding our substation located at 1095 Lake Washington Boulevard. As
promised to the City a while ago, PSE's goal is to relocate our Shuffleton substation operations
in a timely manner. To do so, we need a recorded lot line adjustment (LLA) in order to have a
sellable lot. PSE is currently under contract with SECO Development for the property outside of
the substation footprint.
The lot line adjustment, known as the Shuffleton Lot Line Adjustment, will make way for SECO
Development to redevelop New Lot 1. PSE will retain New Lot 2 for our substation. This is a
crucial substation serving as a switch for providing power to the City of Renton. This use will
remain as is, with future improvements planned in the distant future. PSE will leaseback New
Lot 1 for a brief time period as we relocate our Substation Operations group.
The West parcel line for New Lot 2 runs along the existing steel frame building and the building
will be located entirely within New Lot 1. Lot line was relocated based on helpful comments
PSE received from the City.
Another note was a question of whether PSE could shrink the North side of New Lot 2 to allow
for a wider access roadway on the SECO property. There are a few things that prohibit PSE
from reducing the North property line. PSE has a bus at this end of the switch that requires
clearance to all structures. This area also allows for our underground copper grid to keep the
switch from arching. Finally, PSE will need access inside of our switch to efficiently and safely
maintain the substation; shared access inside a sub is against NERC regulations.
A stream study was conducted by SECO Development in 2016. This report has been included in
the LLA packet. This study indicated there is a Type F stream located towards the Southeasterly
corner of the property. The location of the stream and buffer has been identified on the LLA.
Other than this stream there are no notable site features.
PSE appreciates your review of our application. Please feel free to let me know if you have any
questions and/or concerns regarding our submittal. We are happy to provide what you need
for a successful app.
