PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicants, the City of Renton and SECO Development, Inc., are requesting
Environmental (SEPA) Review to extend Park Ave N from N Southport Dr to the Southport Office Towers. The City’s
portion of the project is 2.43 acres, includes intersection improvements from N Southport Dr across the BNSF railway
tracks, and entails clearing and grubbing; paving of roadway, new sidewalks, curbs, and gutters; stormwater conveyance
system installation; signalization, signage, and the construction of a railroad crossing; casing installation for sanitary
sewer and water; illumination installation; landscaping; slope protection; underground utility relocation within a duct
bank (to be conducted by Boeing); and in-kind trestle bridge replacement (to be conducted by BNSF). In addition, the
City’s portion of the project includes the construction of a pedestrian sidewalk below an existing trestle bridge located
northeast of the Lake Washington Blvd N near the intersection of 757th Ave NE and Lake Washington Blvd N.
Southport would continue the road extension via a private road through the west side of 1095 Lake Washington Blvd N
(APN 0823059191) to the parking garage tunnel on the Southport office site, approximately 1.56 acres. The private road
would be considered a temporary road while development of a future building progresses, and the private portion of
the road would consist of a minimum of two lanes (one lane each direction), curbs and gutters, streetlights, a sidewalk
on the west side of the road, and a drainage system. The project site is located in a high seismic hazard area and contains
regulated slopes along the railroad. SECO Development, Inc. submitted a Technical Information Report and Geotechnical
Engineering Design Study.
