SPECIAL PRESENTATION
Gregg Zimmerman, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator, reported
WSDOT: I-405/SR 167
that the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has been
Interchange Flyover Ramp
constructing a flyover ramp at the interchange of SR 167 and I-405 to assist
Project
traffic movements and to improve safety. He advised that in order to tie the
flyover ramp into the roadway, partial closure of the interchange would be
necessary. He introduced WSDOT project managers, Ed Conyers and Ingo
Goller, who gave a briefing on the subject.
Mr. Goller explained the need to shut down the SR 167 southbound exit ramp
from I405 to complete the flyover project. He stated that motorists will be
directed to proceed to the exit for SR 181, where they will go under I405, get
back on I405, and head north. They will then be able to take the southbound
exit for SR 167 from the northbound lanes of I405.
Councilman Persson thanked WSDOT staff for their work on this difficult
project, noting that it will greatly improve the intersection.
Mr. Conyers stated that the ramp will close at 10:00 p.m. on Friday, March 28,
and open at 5:00 a.m. on March 31. Mr. Goller added that if weather prevented
the completion of the project as scheduled, WSDOT would re -publicize and
reschedule the closure for the following weekend.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Annexation: Bales, SE 128th accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing
St to consider the resolution authorizing an annexation election and consideration
of R-5 (Residential Single Family; five dwelling units per net acre) prezoning
for the Bales Annexation; approximately 8.52 acres generally bounded by SE
128th St. to the north; SE 130th St., if extended, to the south; 156th Ave. SE, if
extended, to the east; and the middle of 152nd Ave. SE, to the west.
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, explained that the annexation was initially
submitted in early 2002 but since the State Supreme Court invalidated the
petition method of annexation, a revised application was submitted using the
election method. He stated that the applicant has agreed in writing to reimburse
the City for the cost of the election.
Mr. Erickson reported that the site is within the City's potential annexation area
and it currently contains four single-family dwellings and an abandoned heavy
equipment repair/maintenance facility, Seaport Dozing. He stated that an
enforcement action by King County forced Seaport Dozing to close down in
February, 2003. In regards to public services, Mr. Erickson reported that the
site is served by Fire District #25, the Issaquah School District, Water District
#90, and it is within the City's sewer service area. Mr. Erickson noted that the
site abuts 14 acres of King County property, which is designated for parklands.
Continuing, Mr. Erickson stated that King County zoning is R-4 (four dwelling
units per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates this site as
Residential Rural for which R-5 zoning is proposed. R-5 zoning is consistent
with King County's R-4 zoning.
Mr. Erickson reviewed the fiscal impacts of the proposed annexation, assuming
an increase to 34 single-family dwelling units at full development, and a new
home value of $260,000. He explained that at current development, there is a
surplus of $566, and at full development, a deficit of $151.
In conclusion, Mr. Erickson stated the annexation furthers the City's business
goals, is consistent with City policies for annexation and for single-family
rezones, and meets the Boundary Review Board criteria. He stated that except
for an estimated one-time parks development expense of $21,000, there are no
service issues. Mr. Erickson recommended that Council adopt a resolution
authorizing an annexation election for the site; authorize the Administration to
draft a prezone ordinance for R-5 zoning; and authorize the submittal of the
Notice of Intent package to the Boundary Review Board.
Responding to Councilman Clawson's inquiry, Mr. Erickson explained that the
applicant will reimburse the City for the cost of the election, which will be
approximately $1,500 to $2,000.
Councilman Persson inquired about the abutting King County parkland and
possible annexation of the area. Mayor Tanner responded that it would be
prudent to approach King County on the issue. In response, Alex Pietsch,
Economic Development Administrator, explained that because there are no
residents on the abutting King County park property, annexation by election
could not take place pursuant to statute.
Council discussion ensued regarding whether King County should be
approached to determine if they want to divest themselves of the abutting
property for attachment to the Bales annexation area.
March 17, 2003
Renton City Council Minutes Page 99
Jim Shepherd, Community Services Administrator, reported that he has been
discussing the abutting parkland annexation issue with King County. Larry
Warren, City Attorney, confirmed that the scope of the annexation could be
expanded to include the property; however, to do so would require
renotification and another public hearing.
Councilman Persson stated that he is in favor of annexing the parkland but does
not want to delay the proposed annexation. Councilman Parker suggested that
the City explore annexing the parkland property in the future.
Council President Keolker-Wheeler added that there are other possible
annexations in this particular area and King County should be approached soon
regarding the parkland property.
Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER,
SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CARRIED.
MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL: ADOPT A
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN ANNEXATION ELECTION FOR THE
BALES PROPERTY TO ASK VOTERS WHETHER THEY WISH TO BE
ANNEXED TO RENTON, WHETHER PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE
ANNEXATION AREA SHOULD BE TAXED AT THE SAME RATE AS
OTHER RESIDENTS OF THE CITY, AND WHETHER THEY SUPPORT
RENTON'S R-5 ZONING FOR THIS AREA; AND AUTHORIZE THE
ADMINISTRATION TO SUBMIT THE NOTICE OF INTENT PACKAGE
TO THE BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD. CARRIED.
ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative
REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work
programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2003 and beyond. Items noted

AUDIENCE COMMENT
Kathy Silvernale, 608 S. 27th Ct., Renton, 98055, expressed concern about the
Citizen Comment: Silvernale —
signs placed last week at the corner of S. 23rd St. and Smithers Ave. S., across
Talbot Hill Elementary School
from Talbot Hill Elementary School. She reported that notice was not provided
Area Traffic Congestion,
to the school prior to installation of the signs. Ms. Silvernale noted that traffic
Signage
studies were conducted by Renton's Transportation Division, following
complaints by Smithers Ave. S. residents of traffic congestion.
Ms. Silvernale explained there are only two exits from the school grounds and
that Smithers Ave. S. is one of the only access roads to and from the school.
She stated that since the signs prohibit left turns onto Smithers during certain
hours, a significant traffic backup has resulted, causing a safety hazard for the
crossing guards and pedestrians. She reported that school buses are now
running late because of the backed up traffic.
Ms. Silvernale requested the signs be removed until further traffic studies are
conducted or alternate plans are made with the school authorities. She stated
that restricting traffic from Smithers Ave. S. will not solve the problem, and she
also suggested the installation of sidewalks to make the area safer for
pedestrians.
Citizen Comment: Eide — Paula Eide, 2732 Mill Ave. S., Renton, 98055, also expressed her concern
Talbot Hill Elementary School about the signs placed near Talbot Hill Elementary School saying they impede
Area Traffic Congestion, traffic and cause considerable congestion and safety issues for crossing guards
Signage and children. She noted that a crossing guard was directing traffic on Talbot
Rd. S. today to eliminate the backup. She requested the Council investigate the
traffic problems and re-evaluate the traffic studies conducted by the City.
Citizen Comment: Johnson — Arland "Buzz" Johnson, 334 Wells Ave. S., Apt. 221, Renton, 98055, explained
Power Outages, Noise that the power was out again at his apartment building, affecting the use of the
Problems elevator. He expressed concern about safety because when the elevator is
inoperable, ambulance crews are forced to evacuate people by using the stairs.
He also reported that the train that passed through at 1:00 a.m. sounded its
whistle 17 times. In addition, Mr. Johnson reported excessive noise from
McGowan's Restaurant parking lot resulting in a call to the Police Department.
Citizen Comment: Marconi — Terry Marconi, 2114 Smithers Ave. S., Renton, 98055, commented on the
Talbot Hill Elementary School signage installed near Talbot Hill Elementary School on March 13, 2003.
Area Traffic Congestion, Because of his 41-year history living on Smithers Ave. S., he stated that the
Signage impact of additional traffic on the street, which was not built to handle high
traffic volumes, is significantly impacting the neighborhood. He explained that
due to increased traffic during school hours, residents on Smithers are unable to
leave their driveways.
Responding to Mayor Tanner's question regarding the wording on the signs,
Mr. Marconi explained that the signs prohibit left turns onto Smithers during
the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. He noted that
the signs have significantly reduced traffic on Smithers Ave. S.
Gregg Zimmerman, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator, gave a
briefing on the matter. Displaying an aerial photograph to illustrate the
placement of the signs near the school, he explained how cars traveling on
Talbot Rd. S. turn onto S. 23rd St., enter the school grounds, and then exit by
taking a right onto S. 23rd St. followed by a left onto Smithers Ave. S. Mr.
March 17, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 101
Zimmerman noted that Smithers is a substandard, narrow road with ditches on
both sides and limited sidewalks.
Mr. Zimmerman stated that traffic complaints reported to the Transportation
Division included speed and capacity issues during school drop-off and pick-up
times. The situation was studied and five options were reviewed in response to
the complaints. Mr. Zimmerman noted that the City did not do a good job
communicating with school authorities in advance of the sign installation. He
explained that City staff is re-evaluating the situation.
Councilman Parker expressed concern regarding the traffic congestion on
Smithers Ave. S., and questioned whether a traffic light installed at Talbot Rd.
S. and S. 23rd St. would help to alleviate congestion.
MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL
REFER THE ISSUE OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN THE TALBOT HILL
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AREA TO TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE.
CARRIED.
Mayor Tanner stated that recommendations would be made to the
Transportation Committee after further studies are conducted.
As a temporary solution, Councilman Clawson suggested that a traffic officer
be assigned to the area to direct traffic during peak hours. Councilwoman
Nelson suggested that parents consider carpooling to help reduce traffic
volume.

BALES ANNEXATION PUBLIC HEARING
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ANNEXATION ELECTION
& CONSIDERATION OF R-5 PREZONING
March 17, 2003
The City is in receipt of a request from a number of property owners in the 15000 block of SE
128th Street, for an Election Annexation for the 8.52-acre Bales annexation site abutting Renton's
eastern boundary. The subject site is within the City's Potential Annexation Area and is
designated as Residential Rural on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Because the
site currently has County R-4 zoning, it is the City's intent to prezone it R-5, 5 units per net acre.
City zoning would be applied at the time the site comes into the City. The site would
accommodate approximately 34 single-family dwelling units under R-5 zoning.
The annexation site appears to have reasonable boundaries. The annexation site abuts the City
on its northern and western boundaries. 152nd Avenue SE, if extended, would define its western
boundary and 156th Avenue SE, if extended, would define its eastern boundary. The site is
relatively flat and not known to have any critically sensitive areas. The site contains five parcels
and four detached single-family dwellings. It also houses a heavy equipment repair facility (Sea -
Port Dozing and Development, Inc.) on its western parcel.
A resolution authorizing the holding of an annexation election for the subject site is before the
City Council this evening. The Council will also consider prezoning for this site.

SUBJECT: Annual Zoning Map Update
TEST TF:
This is a request for adoption of the annual amendments to the City's zoning map. The action
before the Council is adoption of the map documents. An ordinance adopting the 2002 annual

a map book which shows zoning detail by sections of the City, and the second is a
handout map that shows the entire City at a glance. Both maps are derived from the
identical data. Two maps are needed so that "official" maps at both scales can be made
available to the public. These re -zoning actions were all previously approved by the
City Council. These changes include the following actions:
1. Springbrook Associates: 5.61 acres south of S. 37th St. -and the dead end of
S. 38`h St. Change from Commercial Office (CO) to Residential-10 (R-10).
Approved by Ord. 4998.
2. South Renton Sub Area Plan Amendments: The area bounded by Houser Way
South, Shattuck Avenue South, South 61h Street, and Burnett Avenue South, as well
as the northern half of blocks south of South 6th Street between Shattuck Avenue
South, and Smithers Avenue South were rezoned from Residential Multi -Family
Urban (RM-U) to Residential Multi -Family Traditional (RM-T); seven parcels on
March 7, 2003
Page 2
Burnett Avenue South and Williams Avenue South between South 5th Street and
South 4th Street changed from Center Downtown (CD) to Residential Multi -Family
Urban (RM-U); the block bounded by South 5th Street, Main Avenue South, Grady
Way South, and Wells Avenue South changed from Residential Multi -Family Urban
(RM-U) to Center Downtown (CD); four parcels between Burnett Avenue South
and Williams Avenue South and south of where South 6th Street would extend are
changed from Commercial Office (CO) to Residential Multi -Family Urban (RM-U);
four parcels between Burnett Avenue South and Williams Avenue South, south of
where South 6th Street would extend as well as two parcels fronting on Grady Way
South and Wells Avenue South are changed from Commercial Office (CO) to

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
A rezone of the Fry's property was requested in order to change the allowed uses on the site from
industrial to office and commercial including big box retail. Industrial uses are no longer considered
appropriate for the site given the Comprehensive Plan designation of Employment Area- Transition.
The proposed re -zone is from Heavy Industrial to Center/Office/Residential 3. This re -zone will
remove this property from the current moratorium on Heavy Industrial zones in the City. A big box
retail development is under construction on the site.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the re- designation of the property from Heavy Industrial to Center/Office/Residential.
Refer the issue of residential use in the COR3 east of Garden Ave to the Planning and Development
Committee.

STAFF CONTACT: Rebecca Lind
SUBJECT: Rezone of 21.37 acres from Heavy Industrial (IH) zone to Center
Office Residential 3 (COR3) zone (Fry Property).
ISSUE:
• Whether to re -zone the 21.37 acres of land designated Employment Area -Transition from
Heavy Industrial (IH) zone to Center/Office/Residential 3(COR3) zone.
• Whether to allow residential use on this site?
RECOMMENDATION:
• Hearing Examiner's Recommendation
Approve the request to reclassify the subject site from IH to COR3 subject to the
finalization of Ordinance 5001. Consider limiting the use of the subject site to
commercial and retail uses since development of residential uses adjacent to the existing
heavy industrial Boeing complex might be incompatible.
• Refer the issue of residential use in the COR 3 zone east of Garden Ave. to the Planning
and Development Committee.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
A rezone of the Fry's property was requested in order to change the allowed uses on the site
from industrial to office and commercial including big box retail. Industrial uses are no
longer considered appropriate for the site given the Comprehensive Plan designation of
Mafch 13, 2003
Page 2
Employment Area- Transition. The proposed re -zone is from Heavy Industrial to
Center/Office/Residential 3.
Earlier this year the Council approved a zoning text amendment adding the "big -box" use
east of Garden Ave and north of NE 8`' St. to the COR3 zone (Ordinance 5001). This code
change became effective on March 12, 2003. Adding the "big box" retail as a use type in the
COR- 3 zone needed to be done prior to rezoning the Fry's property into the COR 3 zoning
classification so that the big box retail development now under construction on the site would
remain a conforming use.
Earlier this month Council lifted the moratorium from properties in the Valley and the
portions of the North Renton industrial area along Houser Way. The Fry's property remained
in the moratorium because it was still zoned IH. The combined action of adding the "big
box" retail use to the COR code and rezoning the property into the COR classification will
finally remove the Fry property from the moratorium.
The issue of whether residential use should be restricted on this site was reviewed by staff
upon receipt of the Hearing Examiner's report. The existing Employment Area -Transition
Comprehensive Plan policy LU-212.41 states that consideration should only be given to COR
rezones that allow residential uses in the area west of Park Ave. North. This policy is
currently under review as part of the Comprehensive Plan Update due in 2004, and as part of
the Boeing Comprehensive Plan Amendment process that will consider and evaluate the
Employment Area -Transition policies. As the site is currently being developed with big -box
retail staff initially was not convinced that residential use is an issue for the area east of Park
Ave. However, as the property does have additional redevelopment potential, the Council
may want to consider the residential issue further. Under the present COR development
standards, garden style apartments could be developed on the site. If the Council wants to
limit residential use, an additional zoning text amendment will be required.
CONCLUSION:
Concur with the Hearing Examiner recommendation for the re -zone but refer the issue of
residential use in the COR 3 zone east of Garden Ave. to the Planning and Development
Committee for review and recommendation.

Elizabeth Higgins, Senior Planner, Economic Development Division, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055
presented the staff report. The project is a proposed rezone of approximately 21 acres of land, half of which is
currently being developed for a Fry's Electronics retail store. She noted that approximately half of the property
(the southern half) to the west abutting the subject property, on the west side of Garden Avenue North, has been
rezoned to Center Office (CO) designation. (This was corrected subsequent to the hearing. The property is
currently zoned IH)
The purpose of the rezone is due to much transition in this area. It is located in North Renton and is an area that
has traditionally been used for industrial purposes. Not only was there the previously noted rezone, there was a
subdivision of the property that abuts the subject property. The subdivision occurred in 2002 and divided a
single parcel into four parcels presumably for the purpose of redevelopment. Subsequent to that subdivision, the
southern most parcel of the four was rezoned to Center Office Zone.
The property located to the north of the subject site is zoned COR and is currently being redeveloped for a
variety of mixed uses. There is much redevelopment in this area. There is currently a moratorium on all of the
property in the City that is zoned Heavy Industrial (IH). The moratorium was put into place for several reasons.
The City has the desire to look at these properties and ensure that they are developed in a way that meets the
City's vision. The City's vision at present time (based on policies that are in transition) is that this property no
longer be used for industrial uses. The City is supportive of continuing industrial uses by the businesses that are
there but the polices currently being formulated to support a transition from those heavy industrial uses to uses
that are more compatible with the designation of Urban Center. The City designated this area as part of its
Urban Center when the current Comprehensive Plan was developed. The area meets the countywide planning
policies for urban centers. Industrial uses are not compatible with those projected uses. The purpose of the six-
month moratorium is to look at parcels on an individual basis and decide if they should remain industrial.
In response to questioning from the Examiner, Ms. Higgins replied that staff does not believe rezoning this site
is premature. Although they do see residential coming into this area the policies do not allow or would not
direct residential development on the eastside of Park Avenue. City policies direct future residential
development to the west side of Park Avenue so there would be no residential development anywhere east of
Park Avenue. There is a simultaneous code amendment that is being processed. Unfortunately, it did not go to
a public hearing prior to this hearing. The code amendment would add notes to the COR-3 zone that would
limit the development of this particular property should it be successfully rezoned and would include big box
retail which the COR-3 does not currently allow that would ensure the viability of the Fry's Electronics which is
a big box retail facility and it would also allow development of the north portion of the property to big box
retail. There is currently a negotiation in progress between Fry's and another retailer for development of the
north portion of the parcel. It would also limit residential development so that it could not occur east of Garden
Avenue North, north of North 81h Street or south of Lake Washington Boulevard. The railroad tracks abut the
site on the east. There are some utility crossings but no access from that side.
They did anticipate that someone may try to put residential on this property but the notes in the development
standards would not allow it in this area. There is a COR l and a COR 2. COR l is the Port Quendall site and
Fry's Rezone
File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF
February 13, 2003
Page 3
COR 2 is the Stoneway site along the Cedar River. They do anticipate the development of COR 4, COR 5, and
COR 6 in the other Boeing property areas. This rezone is consistent with potential future rezones in this area.
Staff feels that circumstances have changed since the last review took place. This area has not been looked at
for other uses other than heavy industrial since the last round of analysis except for the abutting property to the
west. That analysis will be taking place on the rest of the property within the next six months. The reason for
the rezone is that negotiations between Fry's and another retailer were fairly well along when the moratorium
was put in place and staff felt it would be unfair impose a restriction on development of that property for what
they felt would probably be an inappropriate use due to concerns with the rest of the industrial zoned property in
the area.
Ms. Higgins stated that staff recommends approval of the rezone.
The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and
no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 9:30 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FENDINGS:

a
The applicant, City of Renton, filed a request for approval of reclassification of property from IH (Heavy
Industrial) to COR3 (Center/Office/Residential 3).
The yellow file containing the staff report, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) documentation and
other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit # 1.
The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official, issued a Declaration of Non -
Significance (DNS) for the subject proposal.
The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
The property is located on the east side of Garden Avenue North between North 8'' on the south and North
Park on the north. The subject site is located on the east side of the Boeing Complex and was at one time
owned by Boeing.
The subject site is an irregular trapezoidal shaped parcel that cants to the west at its north end. The
property is approximately 21.3 acres.
The parcel is approximately 500 feet wide (east to west) by approximately 1,900 feet long. The parcel is
comprised of one legal lot.
The parcel was used as a parking lot in the past, but has been abandoned. The site is generally level.
The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 1793 enacted in September 1959.
10. The site received its current IH zoning in June 1993 when the City reorganized its zoning categories.
11. The Comprehensive Plan for this area of the City was adopted in February 1995. The map element of the
Fry s Rezone
Fite No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF
February 13, 2003
Page 4
Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for Employment
Area - Transition. Staff noted that the Comprehensive Plan designation would permit the proposed COR3
Zoning District.
12. Staff also noted that a Text Amendment to the Zoning Code would expand the permitted uses to include
"big box" retail uses. A Comprehensive Plan policy would restrict residential uses east of Garden Avenue
North but that policy has not been reduced to restrictions on the COR 3 Zone in this area.
13. The City imposed a development moratorium on properties zoned IH in order to identify new goals for
areas of the City zoned IH. The City is reviewing its goals and objectives for these various areas while
preserving the industrial uses that currently exist.
14. Prior to the development moratorium, Fry's Electronics purchased the property and applied for permits to
construct a large retail store on the south 12 acres of the subject site. The building proposed is considered
"big box" retail. The proposed use would be permitted in the COR3 zone and due to vesting may be
developed in spite of the moratorium.
15. Property to the northwest, the Southport development, was reclassified to COR 3 in 1999.
16. Apparently, the owner of the subject site, Fry's, the developer of the south half of the subject site, is in
negotiations to sell the property to another retailer. The City did not want to hamper that sale prospect and
has proposed reclassifying both sites to allow redevelopment. The City has analyzed the proposed uses and
the Comprehensive Plan for the area. It has recommended that the rezone is compatible with the City's
goals and the Comprehensive Plan designation.
Conclusions:
The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest, that it will not impair
the public health, safety and welfare and in addition, complies with the criteria found in Section 4-9-180,
which provides in part that:
D. AUTHORITY FOR REZONES NOT REQUIRING PLAN AMENDMENT:
In those instances where there is a rezone request, which does not require an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan, the processing of the rezone application shall be submitted to the administration.
The applicant will have the burden and duty of applying for and pursuing the rezone.
The rezone hearing shall be held before the Hearing Examiner under the procedures and rules of the
Hearing Examiner. (Ord. 4437, 2-21-1994)
F. DECISION CRITERIA FOR CHANGE OF ZONE CLASSIFICATION:
1. Criteria for Rezones Requiring a Comprehensive Plan Amendment: The Reviewing Official shall
find that:
a. The proposed amendment meets the review criteria in RMC 4-9-020G; and
b. The property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the
polices set forth in the Comprehensive Plan; and
Fry's Rezone
File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF
February 13, 2003
Page 5
At least one of the following circumstances applies:
The subject reclassification was not specifically considered at the time of the last area
land use analysis and area zoning; or
ii. Since the most recent land use analysis or the area zoning of the subject property,
authorized public improvements, permitted private development or other circumstances
affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change.
2. Criteria for Rezones Not Requiring Plan Amendment: The Reviewing Official shall make the
following findings:
a. The rezone is in the public interest, and
b. The rezone tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights
of the petitioner, and
The rezone is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other
persons located in the vicinity thereof, and
d. The rezone meets the review criteria in subsections Flb and Flc of this Section. (Amd. Ord.
4794, 9-20-1999)
The requested classification is justified and should be approved by the City Council.
2. The proposal is in the public interest by extending the area in which urban public services serving the
general public could be permitted. The heavy industrial zone does not cater to the general shopping public.
The site is just north of the City's urban core and the COR 3 zoning would permit development of
supportive retail uses. In addition, unlike the immediate downtown area, the site and surrounding sites are
large parcels of property, which can reasonably support "big box" retail uses. Retail use would also
increase the job base of the area and City. The prior parking use did not create jobs.
3. The COR 3 zoning will provide the property owner a wide range of permissible uses including their
proposed retail use. The range of uses is much broader than the industrial uses now permitted on the
subject site. This would appear to serve the rights of the property owner. The property owner did not in
any way object to the City's rezone petition.
4. The rezone does not appear to cause any harm to the public welfare or adjacent property. The range of
possible uses is much less intense in the COR 3 zone than in the heavy industrial zone. The one possible
negative aspect would be the fact that the COR 3 zone would permit residential uses. These uses might be
incompatible with the adjacent heavy industrial uses. While a Comprehensive Plan policy suggests that
residential uses not be established east of Park Avenue, there is no codification that would limit that type of
use. The City Council might want to consider limiting the use of the subject site to commercial endeavors.
5. In addition, COR 3 zoning was not considered the last time the subject site underwent zoning analysis and
the area is definitely one in transition. The Boeing Company has been moving its plant and parking area
west and contracting the acreage dedicated to industrial processes and the supportive parking. In addition,
the Southport development supplanted the Shuffleton power plant.
6. In conclusion, the proposed rezone appears to reasonably comply with the objectives and goals of the
Fry°s Rezone
File No.: L,UA-02-149,R,ECF
February 13, 2003
Page 6
Comprehensive Plan while leading further transition away from industrial uses so close to the downtown
core.
Recommendation:
The City Council should approve the request to reclassify the subject site from IH to COR 3 subject to the
finalization of Ordinance 5001. The City Council might consider limiting the use of the subject site to
commercial and retail uses since development of residential uses adjacent to the existing heavy industrial
Boeing complex might be incompatible.

Pursuant to Title IV, Chapter 8, Section 100G of the City's Code, request for reconsideration must be filed in
writing on or before 5:00 p.m., February 27, 2003. Any aggrieved person feeling that the decision of the
Examiner is ambiguous or based on erroneous procedure, errors of law or fact, error in judgment, or the
discovery of new evidence which could not be reasonably available at the prior hearing may make a written
request for a review by the Examiner within fourteen (14) days from the date of the Examiner's decision. This

request shall set forth the specific ambiguities or errors discovered by such appellant, and the Examiner may,
after review of the record, take further action, as he deems proper.
An appeal to the City Council is governed by Title IV, Chapter 8, Section 110, which requires that such appeal
be filed with the City Clerk, accompanying a filing fee of $75.00 and meeting other specified requirements.
Copies of this ordinance are available for inspection or purchase in the Finance Department, first floor of City
Hall.
If the Examiner's Recommendation or Decision contains the requirement for Restrictive Covenants, the
executed Covenants will be required prior to approval by City Council or final processing of the file. You
may contact this office for information on formatting covenants.
The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one) communications may occur
concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in
private with any decision -maker concerning the proposal. Decision -makers in the land use process include both
the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council.
All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all
interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the
evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court.
The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as
Appeals to the City Council.

SUBJECT: Utility Easement Request from QWEST within Parcel Number
683840-0010
ISSUE:
Property Services has received a request from the QWEST Corporation for a utility easement
within a City easement (in Parcel Number 683840-0010).
RECOMMENDATION:
• The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends that Council approve the
utility easement request from the QWEST Corporation and authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute the utility easement by which Renton will formally grant a utility
easement.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The subject property is Lot 1 of the Poitras Plat (NE Quarter of Section 16, Township 23
North, Range 5 East) and the Parcel Identification Number is 683840-0010. Exhibit B of the
attached document shows the requested easement.
In December 1979, the City passed a street vacation ordinance (Ordinance No. 3384) in
which a 30' utility easement was retained over the west 30' of the subject property. QWEST
is requesting a 6-foot utility easement within the City's easement area of the property for the
installation of a fiber optic cable. These telecommunication facilities will accommodate the
new King County 911 Emergency Center located to the south of the City Shops.

The Water, Surface Water and Wastewater Utilities staff have all reviewed this easement
request and have no objection to the granting of this request.
Based upon King County appraised values, it has been determined that the value of the
proposed easement is $2,007.18. QWEST is prepared to offer the City $2,007.18 and staff
recommends that the City accept this amount for the easement. Furthermore, staff

State. The State will pay all costs incurred under the contract upon
presentation of progress billings from the contractor. Following such
payments, the State will submit a billing to the Federal Government for the
federal aid participation share of the cost. When the project is substantially
completed and final actual costs of the project can be determined, the State
will present the Agency with a final billing showing the amount due the State

its participating portion of such billings.
Method C— The Agency may submit vouchers to the State in the format
prescribed by the State, in duplicate, not more than once per month for those
costs eligible for Federal participation to the extent that such costs are
directly attributable and properly allocable to this project. Expenditures by
the Local Agency for maintenance, general administration, supervision, and
other overhead shall not be eligible for Federal participation unless claimed
under a previously approved indirect cost plan.

project costs up to the amount shown on the face of this agreement. At the
time of audit, the Agency will provide documentation of all costs incurred on
the project.
The State shall bill the Agency for all costs incurred by the State relative
to the project. The State shall also bill the Agency for the federal funds paid
by the State to the Agency for project costs which are subsequently
determined to be ineligible for federal participation (see Section IX).

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
March 17, 2003
X
The Utility Systems Division requests approval of two annual consultant rosters. These
consultants have been chosen to provide Appraisal Services and Right -of -Way Services for the
year 2003. As a need for services arises, a standard City of Renton services contract will be
entered into with the most qualified consultant on the roster.
As required by State law, the consultants on this roster were selected by the Statement of
Qualifications (SOQ) process.
Contracts will be entered into in compliance with City Policy 250-02 (Bidding and Contracting
Requirements) and subsequent amendments to this policy, as may be approved by the Mayor
and Council.
The Utility Systems Division recommends that Council authorize inclusion of the list of
consultants in Attachment A into the roster of annual Appraisal and Right -of -Way consultants to
be used for the year 2003 with the option of extending the roster annually in 2004 and 2005 by
the approval of the Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator.

#421.000500.018.5960.0034.65.055540)
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The contractor, F & H Fence Co., started construction of the project on October 14, 2002, and
completed the project on February 14, 2003. The original contract amount was $54,270.80 and
the final contract amount is $74,857.67. The $20,586.87 increase in cost is due to change orders
issued to install fences taller than the standard 8-foot height to accommodate steep slopes, to
construct an additional access gate, and to repair all damaged sections of old fencing around the
entire Springbrook Watershed property. There are sufficient funds in the project budget to cover
this increase in cost.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Utility Systems Division of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends
that the project be accepted, the final pay estimate be approved, and the retainage in the amount
of $3,440.13 be released after sixty (60) days, subject to receipt of all required authorizations.

SUBJECT: Barbee Mill Preliminary Plat E.I.S. —
Consultant Agreement
ISSUE:
The Development Services Division requests approval of a consultant agreement
authorizing work associated with the preparation of an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for the Barbee Mill Preliminary Plat proposal. The cost of the
EIS, which was determined to be necessary by the City's Environmental Review
Committee (ERC), will be at the direct expense of the project applicant.
BACKGROUND:
Location — The Barbee Mill consists of a 22.9-acre site and is located on the west
side of Lake Washington Boulevard North between North 40th Street and North
44th Street abutting the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad right-of-way along
the eastern boundary. The property has historically been utilized for lumber
operations, which over past years have been decreased to a limited level and are
presently in cessation. Many of the existing structures are in disrepair and all
would be demolished as part of site development.
The property is situated within the Center Office Residential (COR-2) zoning
designation, which is intended to provide for a mix of intensive commercial, office
and residential activity in a high quality, master planned development that is
integrated with the natural environment. Stand-alone residential development is
also permitted in the zone provided the required density of a minimum 5 dwelling
units per net acre (du/ac) is satisfied. The site includes a number of sensitive
features, including Lake Washington and May Creek shorelines, critical wildlife
habitat areas, wetlands, contaminated soils, high seismic hazards, steep slopes
(15% to 25%) and flood hazards, as well as Department of Natural Resources
lease lands along a portion of the site's lake frontage.

Development Proposals (Past and Present) — At one time the property was
included in a large-scale development proposal that involved adjoining properties
to the north (a.k.a., Port Quendall); however, the property has since been
proposed for development as individual site. Initially, the applicant filed a land
use application for a development proposal that would include a mix of
residential, office, retail, hotel and restaurant uses (file no. LUA-01-174). The
City began processing this application and upon review determined that an EIS
would be necessary in order to consider potential adverse environmental impacts
from the proposal. However, after the completion of the EIS scoping process,
the applicant requested that the review of the application be suspended and
proceeded to submit an entirely separate land use application involving a
completely different development concept on the site. It is this proposal that the
City is presently reviewing (file no. LUA-02-040).
The current proposal is for the review of a Preliminary Plat that would subdivide
the site into 115 residential lots intended for townhouse development (reduced
map attached). Most of the units would be constructed within duplex structures
along with some 3-unit, 4-unit and 5-unit structures to be located on the
southeast side of May Creek. The attached units would be constructed with zero
setbacks from common lot lines and would place each unit on an individual lot.
The proposal would result in a net density of approximately 8.35 dwelling units
per acre (22.9 gross acre site — 9.13-acres combined sensitive areas and public
roadways = 13.77 net acre --> 115 units / 13.77 net acre = 8.35 du/ac).
Landscape, roadway, utility improvements and four utility/open space tracts
would be established with the plat. Access to the project would be provided via
an existing 60-foot wide access easement, which would be dedicated to public
right-of-way, from the Lake Washington Boulevard/Ripley Lane intersection
through the abutting property on the north side of the site. The project would
provide 42-foot wide internal public roadways throughout the majority of the
project with a 32-foot wide roadway proposed on the south side of May Creek.
Both primary and secondary access to the site would require railroad crossings
that must be approved by both the City and the Washington Utilities and
Transportation Commission.
In addition, an Independent Remedial Action Plan has been approved by the
Department of Ecology and the City for the clean-up of on -site soils containing
elevated concentrations of arsenic and zinc (file no. LUA-02-069). However, this
approved remediation is not anticipated to occur until site preparation activities
for an approved development project begin.
Licenses, Permits and Necessary Approvals — The following permits and
approvals will be required for the proposed redevelopment of the site:
• City of Renton: Environmental (SEPA) Review; Preliminary Plat Approval;
Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Approval; Level II Site Plan
Approval; Level I Site Plan Approval; Shoreline Variance Approval, if

applicable; Wetland Buffer Averaging and Compensation Approval; Street
Modification Approval; Railroad Crossing Access Approval; Site Preparation,
Demolition, Building and Construction Permits; and Final Plat Approval.
• King County: Shoreline Permit for DNR lease lands.
• Washington Department of Ecology: Hazardous Waste — No Further
Action Letter; National Pollutant Discharge Elimination; System (NPDES)
Permit; Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Approval; Shoreline
Variance Approval, if applicable; and Water Quality Certification.
• Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife: Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA).
• Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission: Approval of
Railroad crossing(s).
• US Army Corp of Engineers: Section 401 and 404 Permits, if necessary.
• US Environmental Protection Agency: CERCLA/MTCA Clearance.
Environmental (SEPA) Review — Prior to proceeding with the review and
formulation of staff recommendations for all of the City's necessary land use
permits, the project must undergo review pursuant to the State Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA). Upon consideration of adverse environmental impacts that
would potentially result from the project, the City's Environmental Review
Committee issued a SEPA Threshold Determination of Significance (DS) on
November 5, 2002. Under SEPA regulations, the DS requires that an EIS be
prepared to thoroughly analyze specific areas of concern surrounding the project.
Specifically, the scope of the EIS for this project will generally focus on the
following areas:
➢ EARTH
• Soils, geology, earthwork, geologic and seismic hazards, and
erosion/sedimentation impacts.
➢ PLANTS AND ANIMALS
■ Displacement of existing vegetation, wetlands and associated
shoreline and wetland habitat for terrestrial and aquatic species.
■ Examination of the potential for rehabilitation of degraded habitat as
part of the project.
■ Incorporation of shoreline access and regional trails through the site.
➢ WATER RESOURCES
■ Waterways, hydrology, floodplains, groundwater and water quality
impacts (including possible impacts from cessation of May Creek
dredging operations).
■ Potential impacts and mitigation for impacts to May Creek and Lake
Washington.
Consultant Agreement
Barbee Mill EIS
Page 4 of 4
➢ TRANSPORTATION
■ Impacts to the local traffic circulation system, including traffic forecasts,
specified intersections, trip generation, level of service, as well as
accidents and safety.
■ Design and safety impacts of railroad crossings.
■ Impacts to 1-405 and adjacent jurisdictions (i.e., City of Newcastle).
➢ TOXIC AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
■ Review of clean-up levels appropriate for residential uses.
■ Impacts from abutting contaminated properties.
➢ AESTHETICS, LIGHT AND GLARE
• Identify existing aesthetic and scenic resources and evaluate view
impacts.
➢ NOISE
■ Review of noise impacts associated with construction impacts and
railroad usage.
➢ CULTURAL RESOURCES
■ Assessment of cultural and archeological resources on the site.
➢ ALTERNATIVES
In addition to the proposal, the EIS will examine a "no action"
alternative that will assume the continuation of the industrial use of the
property. During the course of analyzing impacts and identifying
mitigation measures, however, a combination of mitigating measures
may be developed which would constitute an additional alternative.
This may involve a reduction in the number of units and/or a
reconfiguration of the plat layout.
CONCLUSION:
After study of the areas discussed above is completed, a Preliminary Draft EIS
will be assembled for the City's review and approval. The City will then issue the
Draft EIS for public review and will accept comments given at public hearing or
submitted in writing. When comments on the Draft EIS have been considered,
the City will issue the Final EIS with responses to the draft comments. By this
time the City will have likely identified a preferred alternative. The EIS will then
be used as the basis for staff's recommendation to the Hearing Examiner upon
consideration of the Preliminary Plat and other land use permits.
The attached consultant agreement establishes the scope of work, timeframes
and budget for the EIS work. Based on RMC section 4-1-170, Land Use Review
Fees, 100% of the cost associated with the preparation of the EIS shall be paid
at the direct expense of the applicant. A deposit from the applicant must be
received by the City prior to giving the consultant notice to proceed on the work
outlined in the agreement.

the property of the City for its use without restriction. Such unrestricted use not occurring as a part of
this project, shall be without liability or legal exposure to the Consultant.
F. Payment for any part of the work by the City shall not constitute a waiver by the City of any remedies of
any type it may have against the Consultant for any breach of this Agreement by the Consultant, or for
failure of the Consultant to perform work required of it by the City. Forbearance of any rights under the
Agreement will not constitute waiver of entitlement to exercise those rights with respect to any future act
or omission by the Consultant.

The integration of environmental considerations in the public decision -making process is one of the primary
goals of SEPA. The development of alternatives is one of the key steps in both the project development and
environmental process. The city has specified in the January 10, 2003 Scoping Document, the consideration of
a No Action Alternative, consists of continuation of some form of industrial use of the property.
Approach
During the course of analysis of impacts and identification of mitigating measures, a combination of mitigating
measures may be developed which constitutes a reasonable alternative which meets the criteria in WAC 197-11-
440(5)(d) for a private proposal of achieving the proposals objectives on the same site. Parametrix shall advise
the City and applicant of any alternatives it recommends based on environmental issues identified in the
analysis process.
AssurnpHorls
This scope of work is based on analysis of two alternatives:
• The current proposal of the applicant. Future use or alternations for DNR owned uplands, will be based
on consultation with the DNR aquatics leasing department land use policies for shoreline property, and
confirmation of assumptions with the city.
Rr_\To\ BARBE_r Mii-L EIS V"ORK PROGRAIM PAGE 1 OF 23 02-24-03
• A No -Action Alternative, which presumes the continuation of industrial use on the property with a
configuration of buildings and impervious areas similar to what currently exists. In consultation with City
staff, a pro -forma description of other uses, which could occur on the site under existing zoning will be
developed. Description of the No Action Alternative will be limited to the following:
• A use or mix of uses allowed by current zoning and identified as reasonable in consultation with City
staff.
• Future use or alternations for DNR owned uplands, will be based on consultation with the DNR
aquatics leasing department land use policies for shoreline property, and confirmation of assumptions
with the city.
• Total floor area, by use.
• Total required parking.
• Building bulk and dimensional limits as allowed by zoning codes, or as allowed by use of existing
buildings as allowed uses or non -conforming structures pursuant to Renton City Code 4-1 - 050.
• Setbacks, landscape, and other requirements as specified by zoning codes.
• Projected impervious surface based on building and parking requirements, less landscaping, sensitive
area buffers, and other requirements.
• Site plans, building plans, and similar graphic depictions of the alternative will not be prepared.
If Parametix identifies a potential development alternative as a combination of mitigating measures, as provided
in WAC 197-11-440 (5) (b) (iii) and (6), this will occur at the time of submittal of the Preliminary Draft EIS for
City staff review. The scope assumes:
• City staff review of the potential project alternative will take place in conjunction with review of
impacts and mitigating measures.
• Any meetings to discuss the potential project alternative will take place in conjunction with review of
the Preliminary Draft EIS.
• Description of impacts of the potential project alternative will take place in the mitigating measures
section of each element of the environment, and will not require separate analysis as an alternative in
the impact section of each element.
Deliverables
• Draft and Final Description of No -Action Alternative.
• Description of potential development alternative as a combination of mitigating measures may be
identified at the time of submittal of a Preliminary Draft EIS for City staff review.

Site Access
Site access involves two proposed public street crossings of the BNSF railroad line. Access issues include
appropriate design criteria of the access to meet BNSF and \X/UTC standards, safety issues related to vehicle
train conflicts, and emergency vehicle access. Emergency vehicle access is especially a concern if a
train/vehicle accident leads to blockage of both project access points, which is possible, given train stopping
distances and the distance between access points. Evaluation must also consider the potential for higher
future rail use on the line if BNSF finds that market and rail traffic justify us of this route as a second mainline
between Snohomish and Auburn/Tacoma. Hazards associated with at -grade railroad crossings will be
evaluated based on specific site conditions and existing literature including FHWA Report, Highway/Rail
Crossing Technical Working Group Report, November 2002, "Guidance on Traffic Control Devices at
Highway -Rail Grade Crossings", W`UTC accident reports compiled under WAC 480-62-080 as well as
coordination with Ahmer Nizam of W`UTC and Mike Cowles of BNSF. In addition to the rail crossing, safety
and capacity concerns at the intersections with Lake Washington Blvd. and Hazelwood Lane will be addressed.
TrafiicAccidents and Safeti-Ansdysis
Accident characteristics and patterns will be analyzed for the roadways in the analysis area. Accident rate
comparisons will be made with region -wide and/or statewide accident rates for routes in the same functional
class and for any available "comparable route" case study data. High -Accident Locations (HAL), High -
Accident Corridors (HAC), and Pedestrian Accident Locations (PAL) will be addressed.
Impacts on Adjacent.Jurisdictions
Impacts on the City of Newcastle, to the northeast of the site will be assessed through:
a) An assessment of trip origins and destinations within Newcastle based on an EMME2 select link
distribution query;
b) Trips routed through Newcastle will be assessed quantitatively through description of the project
traffic volumes on specific road network links, and assessed qualitatively in terms of the proportion of
project trips as related to the total trips.
c) Trips bypassing I-405 through Bellevue and Newcastle will be assessed qualitatively in terms of
project trips which may be diverted to local streets:

• Expected congestion levels on 1-405, as compared to projected congestion on alternate
routes and potential factors affecting the decision to divert to local streets;
• Relative travel time comparisons between elements of the freeway network and local streets
based on the length of the route and number of stop or signalized intersections (LOS and
formal trip length analysis will not be performed);
• Alternate routes considered include:
1. I-405 to Coal Creek Parkway/66,h Pl SE/Lake Washington Blvd.
2. I-405 to Coal Creek Parkway/SE 891h PI/Monterey PI NE/ NE 44,h Street/Lake

20 trips);
,?4'0n-A1010ri7ed F.7ci7iti Lnpacts andRelationslujp to Transit
The character of existing non -motorized facilities (pedestrian, bicycle and transit) in the study area will be
described. Alternatives to improve pedestrian access and safety will be developed. Improvements to enhance
pedestrian facility connections to transit facilities will also be explored as mitigating measures.
A11tigatang Afe'asures
Mitigating measures will be identified for impacts. The proportional contribution of the proposal to total traffic
and growth in traffic on specific roadway links will be identified. Specific intersection and roadway
improvements needed to mitigate impacts of traffic generation will be identified based on a specific LOS
threshold standard specified by city staff. Warrants for traffic signals will be analyzed, where LOS analysis
indicates a need may exist.
Mitigation for trip generation will include Transportion Demand Management options for mode split, peak
spreading and other mechanisms. Discussion of this element will include regional factors such as development
of HOV and transit facilities, and future land use patterns likely to affect mode choice at the residential origin.
The potential for incorporating features in the proposal which may encourage use of alternate modes will be
identified, including safe and convenient pedestrian circulation and access to transit stops, widened shoulders,
or other facilities for bicycles, and connections with existing and planned recreation trails, commercial and
other destinations.
Mitigating measures to address potential impacts on safety, pedestrians and other impact will be assessed,
including mitigation for crossings of the railroad.

Goal
The site is known to contain contaminated soils, primarily arsenic and zinc. An Independent Remedial Action
Plan (IRAP) has been prepared for the site pursuant to the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) and approved
by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) and the City of Renton, involving removal of an
estimated 21,500 cubic yards of soil from the site.
Approach
The analysis will rely on the September 2000 remedial action plan, including the cleanup levels established to
protect human health and the environment.. This plan is designed to bring soil conditions to residential
standards. Potential impacts from contamination on the adjacent Quendall Terminals site will also be
evaluated.
Affected J-nviT0t7 n7C131
The EIS text will summarize the existing standards for remediation to residential standards, based on Ecology's
existing literature, specifically the scientific basis for exposure standards and scientific uncertainty inherent in
the standards and Ecology's method for assessment of long-term risk to residents on sites. Specific reference
will be made to provisions of the Ecology -approved cleanup plan, including the locations and depths of soil
removal, methods for confirmation sampling, and protection of human health and the environment with
respect to the proposed development scenario. Site investigation reports will also be reviewed regarding the
current status of confirmed groundwater contamination and suspected surface water contamination, as
indicated in the current Ecology database for the site.
Itzzpmcts
Assessment of impacts will include a qualitative assessment of any confounding factors which may affect the
ability to meet the goals of the IRAP. Residual risk to future residents on -site from on -site materials proposed
to not be removed, or isolated will be assessed based in existing literature. The existence of contaminants from
other sites, and potential exposure to residents on site will be assessed based on existing studies under two
RENTON BARBEE Muni F.1$ WORK PROGRAA1 PAGE 15 of 23 02-24-03
scenarios 1) the scenario of implementation of cleanup of those sites, and 2) delay of cleanup of adjacent sites
until after this site is developed and occupied with resulting continued presence of contaminants.
Timing and extent of disturbance off the site required for cleanup will be discussed as it relates to other
infrastructure required for project development, in relation to future use of the DNR owned shoreline, as well
as the relationship to rehabilitation of the stream corridor and shoreline bulkheads, or other options for
shoreline enhancement.
.Yfi£ir atrr:rn
Mitigating measures will include an assessment of alternative cleanup levels not contained in existing standards,
based on USEPA criteria for selection of alternative cleanup methodologies.

Comments received on the Draft EIS will require additional analysis and some individual responses. For
budgeting purposes, this is assumed to be 15 percent of the DEIS budget.
Assumption. 5
• Analysis will be based on one (1) build alternative.
• Existing scientific studies applicable to development of standards and applicable to this site, including the
IRAP for this site, and available studies for adjacent sites will be used as the primary basis for analysis.

Goal
The objective of the Aesthetics, Light and Glare task is to identify existing aesthetic and scenic resources and
evaluate visual and aesthetic impacts of the proposal and potential mitigation, as appropriate.
Aesthetics/Visual Quality
Affected En i4.roi7nwnt
Parametrix will collect and review pertinent documents that define the visual quality and aesthetic issues related
to the proposed build alternatives. These reports include Land Use Regulations and Policies; local
comprehensive plans and policies; and open space, pedestrian/bicycle routes, and recreation plans. Collected
information will be confirmed by site reconnaissance and information gathered at the scoping meeting.
ViCT3Jtair7t Ideotifirrtion
Viewpoints from different landscape units will be defined by topography and differences in the land use and
urban design context as defined by comprehensive plan policies or zoning regulations, as well as identifiable
design characteristics of existing development. Significant visual features and landmarks within each landscape
unit will be located and the intrinsic qualities that characterize each landscape unit will be described in text
form.
Specific resources to be defined include:
RF.NTON BAKBEF MILL EIS W(-)RxPRocRAM PAGE I6 OF 23 02-24-03
• Character of existing development, including topography, vegetation, land -use patterns, community identity
(aesthetics and image), neighborhood boundaries and edges, building scale and massing, building/open-
space texture.
• Street grid, development texture, and open -space patterns.
• Parks, pedestrian/bicycle routes, and other recreation areas.
Typical viewpoints will be identified and mapped within each landscape unit from existing plans and policies,
site reconnaissance, and through the public scoping process. The selected key viewpoints will become the
views to be used to describe existing conditions in the comparison of impacts between the existing conditions,
the build alternative, and the No -Action Alternative.
Potential resident and transient viewer groups will be identified. Viewer groups could include:
• Residents within the area to the north and east of the site. Where possible, views will be selected from
public rights -of -way or other public sites that approximate the views from residences.
• Residents to the south of the site, along Lake Washington. These views will be selected from near -shore
Lake Washington views that approximate the views from residences.
• More distant views from the east, including I-405, the West Hill in unincorporated King County,.
• Viewers traversing Lake Washington Blvd. adjacent to the site, including views from the curve traveling
west from the I-405 interchange and views northbound from south of the site.
• Views from parks and public open space, including Clarke Beach Park in Mercer Island.
Lnzl.mc-t:
Evaluation of impacts will include a qualitative description of the appearance of the existing site and proposed
facilities as viewed from representative key viewpoints. Visual simulations will be prepared using photos of the
site. Simulations are proposed for a "conservative case" which would include removal of existing buildings and
depiction of the gross bulk of structures allowed on proposed lots, based on City of Renton zoning standards,
and any specific commitments to height and bulk contained in the preliminary plat application.
The analysis will include an objective descriptors of attributes (such as form, line, color and texture) and
provide a qualitative evaluation in terms of relationships between elements of the visual environment in terms
of dominance, scale, diversity and continuity. Viewer response to the visual environment will be described in
terms of viewing populations and visual quality descriptors such as vividness/interest and
intactness/coherence/unity.
Evaluation of the change from the existing industrial development of the site to the proposed residential plat
will focus on intensity, scale and building bulk. Evaluation of compatibility with existing development in the
vicinity will be evaluated in terms of bulk, height, scale, design, landscape and vegetation character as it relates
to the character of existing development.
14rtigation
To develop mitigation, Parametrix will identify mitigation concepts that reduce the impacts to the visual and
aesthetic resources of each landscape unit and enhance the visual characteristics of the build alternatives.
Potential mitigation measures to be considered could include concepts that alter the building mass; screen
views of the project (topographic and vegetation screening); or integration of the project into the surrounding
landscape through use of materials and color, structure, design scale and massing, or slope gradient alteration.

The existing lighting and glare from the site, and its visibility, intensity, and dominance will be assessed for
existing viewers, which generally will be coordinated with the viewpoints selected for visual simulations.
Irrrpacts
Impacts will describe likely light and glare sources on the site, including standard street lighting, and assess
impacts on potential viewers. This analysis will be integrated with the Aesthetics/Visual Quality analysis to
provide a perspective of nighttime visual impacts. Visual simulations -,vill not be prepared for this component
of the analysis.
Final 8IS
Comments received on the Draft EIS will require specific responses. Revision to DEIS text is not anticipated,
except for minor revisions for clarification. For budgeting purposes, this is assumed to be 10 percent of the
DEIS budget.
As.strrnptit) ns
• Analysis will be based on one (1) build alternative.
• Analysis of the No -Action Alternative will include qualitative comparison of probable visual and
light/glare impacts based on the character of existing industrial buildings and the building bulk allowed by
existing zoning standards and landscaping and other features required by codes.
• Photo simulations will be prepared based on black and white photos of existing views, are anticipated to
include a single view on an 81/2 x 11 sheet and will not exceed five (S) views.
• A preliminary screening of potential viewpoints will be developed, reviewed and approved by City staff
prior to preparation of visual simulations.
• Depictions of gross bulk of structures will be based on height, building coverage, and setbacks required by
City of Renton zoning standards and specific commitments to height and bulk contained in the
preliminary plat application. Building depiction will consist of boxes rendered in a neutral gray. A list of
criteria and a single view depiction will be reviewed and approved by City staff prior to completion of
additional other simulations.
Analysis of visual quality will be qualitative and will generally follow criteria in Blair, 1982, Substation
Visual Simulation Techniques, and FHWA, 1981, Visual Impact Assessment for Highway Projects.

This element of the scope will assess noise impacts associated with construction, impacts of noise from the
adjacent railroad on the residential use of the site, noise from use of the site, and noise associated with
increased traffic volumes related to regional growth, and the proposal.
Approach
Parametrix will prepare an EIS noise section analysis using typical noise levels generated by construction, and
rail use.
Affected Lrnvironment
RLNTON BARBEL MILL_ L-1S WORK PROGRAM PAGE. i S or 23 02-24-03
The EIS text will summarize noise level in the project area and identify sensitive receptorswith a particular
focus on the rail line adjacent to the site. Description of existing noise levels will include characterization of
human response to noise levels based on context and normal activities.
fo�trstructi[zn Impacts
Construction noise impacts shall be described based on:
• Types and locations of equipment likely to be used on the project.
• Typical construction equipment noise levels and duration.
• Typical means of reducing construction noise.
• Local ordinances relating to construction noise.
• Land uses or activities, which may be affected by construction noise.
Construction timing and phasing shall be discussed and the potential need for variances assessed.
,Rail Impacts
Potential noise impacts from the rail line will be assessed based on typcical railroad carriage -to -rail noise,
whistle noise, engine noise and other typical rail related noise based on existing studies and accepted industry
standard tables. Carriage noise will be based on operating speeds as determined in coordination with BNSFRR
personnel. The frequency of rail use will be based on current experience, and also the potential for higher use
of the line in the future.
Tr:arsportation Impacts
Noise impacts from traffic related to the project will be derived from the magnitude of traffic increases from
the baseline, and the project based on the traffic/volume noise increase relationship of 3dbA noise increase for
a doubling of traffic volumes. The increase attributed to both the background increase and increases in traffic
from the proposal will be assessed. Impacts will be compared with projected noise levels from existing sources
in the area, including noise from I-405.
blitigatiott: CAmstraction and Operation
Mitigating measures for potential construction impacts will include limits on hours of construction, staging,
equipment used, barriers, and other feasible measures.
Traffic noise abatement measures will be evaluated, in accordance with the standards established by FHWA
and WSDOT, as reference points for establishing levels where traffic noise impacts are predicted to "approach
or exceed standards" or be a "substantial increase." The proposal does not include roadway improvements
utilizing federal funding; therefore, these FHWA and WSDOT standards provide a reference rather than
indicating mitigation requirements.
Unavoidable adverse impacts shall include impacts identified for which mitigating measures are not identified,
or which cannot be assured to be fully mitigated to meet applicable standards.

Cultural resources consisting of archaeological resources as defined in RCW 27.53.040 will be assessed based
on existing information at the State Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, the King County Cultural
Resources Division, the University of Washington Library, the Renton Museum, and the Puget Sound Regional
Repository of the Washington State Archives. Consultation with tribes will include solicitation of comments
and review of any information provided.
Impacts
Impact assessment will depend on the identification of cultural resources. The lowering of Lake Washington
elevation in 1910 and the subsequent fill of the site for development renders the probability of pre -settlement
resources extremely low. The potential loss of structures on the site with cultural, architectural or engineering
value will be assessed in regard to the presence of similar structures in the region.

Mitigation, if cultural resources are found, may include avoidance, but is most likely to include excavation and
conservation.

Re: Urban Craft Development - NE 41h St. & Olympia Ave NE
Dear Mayor & City Council:
iMIA i 12 2003
, ECE€VEC7
Urban Crafts is proposing to construct a mixed -use facility on the parcel at the corner of
NE 41h St. and Olympia Ave NE in the Renton Highlands. We look forward to
constructing this project; however, the amount of utility work required makes most any
development on this site financially infeasible. We've had Jaeger Engineering estimate
the costs which both Jaeger and our development team feel are in excess of what would
be considered fair and technically appropriate for our development. We are asking the
City to agree to pay for their appropriate share. Enclosed is a letter from Jaeger
Engineering itemizing these costs and the scope of work involved based upon City
guidelines & standards.
BACKGROUND
The subject parcel has been vacant for several years. Many other development proposals
on this site have failed because of the unusual amount of utility and street construction
anticipated to meet City standards on Olympia Ave NE. Olympia is a City street that
does not meet current City standards. This road does not have curbs, sidewalks or a storm
sewer system. The sanitary sewer was installed privately and although it fails to meet
City standards, the City may own it. In addition, a city water main has not been installed
along most of the street. As a consequence most businesses along Olympia are connected
to smali private water services. It is our understanding that the City has no plan to
improve this substandard situation in the near future. Most other parcels in the area of
the subject property have been developed.
The project we are proposing does not require the sanitary sewer or water main on
Olympia Avenue NE in order to meet code. The existing sewer in NE 41h Street will serve
our needs. The water main in NE 4th Street and along our West property line will provide
all the water required for our buildings including fire flow. There are four fire hydrants
within 150 feet of our building available for use in a fire emergency. The upgraded
utilities along Olympia Avenue will serve other property owners along Olympia but will
not benefit our project whatsoever.

Urban Craft Development - NE 4`" St. & Olympia Ave NE
March 8, 2003
Page 2 of 2
In the case of projects similar to ours, the City of Renton development standards require
that all needed off -site improvements be constructed on abutting streets. Generally, a
proportionality test should be met to determine who is responsible for improvement costs.
In this case, there is no portion of the sewer or water services needed for our project.
PROPOSAL
We propose that the sanitary sewer and water main be constructed in Olympia Avenue as
a joint project with the City of Renton. We have met with City staff and have their
concurrence for joint participation in the project. City staff has suggested that we install
both the sewer and water main along the distance of our property and that the City be
responsible for the additional costs of connecting the other businesses and parcels to the
sewer and water mains. This would include the cost of street restoration on the East Side
of the centerline.
Thank you for your review and consideration of this proposal. We look forward to
meeting with City council to discuss our proposal and finalize a joint project to improve
the infrastructure along, currently substandard, Olympia Avenue NE.
Sincerely,

Project: Urban Crafts -- City of Renton
I have prepared a rough estimate for the public utility work within the
right-of-ways for the Urban Crafts project. This work is limited to those
items that are improving an existing substandard system This estimate.
does not include any additional work within the ROW that is understood to
be for the benefit of this project (ie: frontage improvements to NE 41h St.
and a portion of Olympia Ave. NE. The estimates do not include taxes or
City fees. Please keep in mind that this is an estimate based on a cursory
review of the project scope.
WATER:
Connection to the existing water main .near the existing fire hydrant within
Olympia Ave., install a new 8" water main within Olympia Ave. to the
north property line, then turning west across the north property line and
connection to the existing water main near the northwest corner of the
site. The section of pipe running along the north property line would. be
within an easement. It is assumed that meter stubs would need to be set
along Olympia Ave. for future services to the east.
