Refer to �tilities Committee. . Exemption UC-90-008� Upon Council inquiry, Engineering Specialist Dave Christensen stated that the original moratorium resolution allowed exemption to a number of projects. The Orchards development was one of the projects, and they have received exemption from a system that includes a pumping station and temporary bypass flow. Northward Construction Co., developer of the Orchards, intends to phase the development and rather than put in an interim system, they will connect to the existing system, upsize a few segments of the sewer line, and thus be able to provide the necessary capacity.

Gilroy, Northward Construction Company, requests revision to exemption to sewer moratorium granted for The Orchards development (site approval and rezone) in 1990 to authorize enlargement of sanitary sewer pipe. Result would Ue increased capacity to the Heather powns sewer system. Enlargement of first three sections of pipe would 111ow construction of about 60 homes and 31 townhomes starting in 1993 with occupancy in early 1994 (The Orchards, Duvall Avenue NE). STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Refer matter to Utilities Committee. cc: Dave Christiansen, Public Works Department ' `�rr� ��w►�D Ci7Y �� REt�"f0i� November 16, 1992 ��v � � �� R�C�fVEtS Mr. Earl Clymer, Mayor ��+,rv��RK'S C��FICE City Council Members City of Renton 200 Mill Avenue South Renton, Washington 98055 Re: The Orchards Exemption from Sewer Moratorium Dear Mayor Clymer: On July 2 , 1990, the Renton City Council concurred in the recommendation of the Utilities Committee to approve the interim sanitary sewer improvements proposed for The Orchards development as described in the document entitled "Preliminary Design Report for a Sanitary Sewer Interbasin Transfer from the Upper Heather powns Basin to the Lower Maplewood Basin. " Since that time, Northward has been processing the rezone and site plan application for The Orchards, which was approved by the City Council on August 1�60 140th Ave.N.E. 10� 19 9 2 . �""eloo The City of Renton has recently placed flow meters in the ti�u��u�,WA�Boo� sanitary sewer system to determine the carrying capacity of �206)747-17z6 the system. As a result of this monitoring and conversations ��.(20�)747-415i with Dave Christiansen of the Public Works Department, it has been determined that the capacity of the Heather powns sewer system can be increased through the enlargement of specific sections of pipe to the point that several phases of The Orchards development could utilize this system. As a result, Northward is hereby requesting that the City Council allow Northward (and the developer of the Forrest Creste development if he so desires) to work with the City' s Public Works Department in enlarging these sections of pipe in a phased manner. As per the attached chart, we are proposing to first enlarge three sections of pipe to allow the construction of the equivalent of 60 single family homes and 31 townhouses starting in 1993 with occupancy in early 1994 . If the proposed interceptor is constructed at this time, these flows and future flows would be routed to the interceptor. If for some reason the interceptor is delayed, we would like to be able to enlarge additional sections of pipe to carry the flows from the next phase of construction. It should be noted that the enlargement of these sections of pipe is preferred by the staff in that these are permanent improvements to the City' s system, rather than interim improvements in the form of a lift station. Yet, we need to leave both options (lift station versus enlargement) open at this time due to cost considerations and the unknown schedule for the proposed interceptor. It should also be noted that �«1 � ' �.r►� � under either scenario, the sewer flows from The Orchards will be routed to the interceptor when it is extended to the site and connection fees will be paid to .the City. The flexibilty to work with the Public Works Department in the phasing of these improvements is needed due to several factors: 1. The question as to the funding and schedule for the actual construction of the proposed interceptor. 2 . The cost considerations of the alternative improvements, which are difficult to determine at this stage. 3 . The question as to the construction schedule for the Forrest Creste development and the impact this may have on the downstream system. We hope that you and the City Council will consider this request and grant us a revision to the exemption granted in 1990. Our goal is to provide a quality neighborhood that fits into the area and meets the housing market needs of the City of Renton. Please call with any and all questions or comments. We look forward to being able to discuss this matter with you and the City Council in the near future. Thank you. Sincerel , Richard A.

The recommended improvements include construction of a lift station at the south side of the Bakke property and rerouting the flows from the Orchards and Windsor Place Apartments (the latter being an existing complex) from the Heather powns Basin to the Maplewood Basin. To accomplish this interbasin transfer, 5250 linear feet of 6" force main, 490 linear feet of 8" PVC sewer pipe, and 360 linear feet of 24" ductile iron sewer pipe would be installed. The Committee further concurred with the Public Works Department's recommendation that if Northward proceeds with the above-mentioned interim improvements, the following occur: 1) The improvements be accomplished, per the report, to provide the capacity to service the Orchards, Forrest Creste, and Bakke developments. 2) Northward sign and execute a Developer Extension Agreement to participate in the construction of the East Renton Interceptor. MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Councilman Stredicke asked for clarification of the effect this report has on the sewer moratorium. Utility Systems Manager Richard Anderson explained that these properties were covered in the original sewer moratorium and were given consideration for exemption; it is consistent with the sewer moratorium and the City's proposals for serving that area; and is an interim measure and not intended to be a permanent solution to the moratorium. *MOTION CARRIED. Upon further inquiry, Mr. Anderson advised that the sewer comprehensive plan and schedule for the East Renton Interceptor project will be presented to Council very shortly. Library: Service to Councilwoman Zimmerman cited a letter to the editor which appeared in the Renton Hill Residents Valley Daily newspaper on July 2, I990, regarding the Council's action to provide library service to North Soos Creek residents and suggesting that the City consider providing its services to other non-city residents. Further, she mentioned that she has been asked why Renton library services are being considered for North Soos Creek area residents only. Moved by Zimmerman, seconded by Tanner, Council refer this matter to Community Services Committee for review and recommendation.* Councilwoman Keolker- Wheeler suggested that this should be referred to the Library Board prior to going to the Committee. •SUBSTITUTE MOTION BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL REFER MATTER OF PROVISION OF CITY LIBRARY SERVICES TO NON-CITY RESIDENTS TO LIBRARY BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION. President Mathews suggested Community Services Committee meet with the Library Board regarding this matter. MOTION CARRIED.'` PlanninQ & Develooment Ptanning and Development Committee Chairman Tanner presented a report �ommittee stating that on March l2, 1990, the City Council passed Resolution No. 2787 Planning: Shoreline regarding proposed Shoreline Master Program amendments. Those Master Program amendments were sent to the State Department of Ecology, as required. On Amendments May 16, 1990, Nora Jewett, of the Department of Ecology, suggested two minor changes. On June 28, 1990, the Committee met with staff to review the suggested changes and found them to be minor, another purpose was added to the purpose section, and commercial and industrial docks will be limited to 12 feet in width as are recreational docks, unless a variance is granted by the hearing examiner. The Committee recommended that the Council authorize the administration to send a letter to notify the State Department of Ecology that the City concurred in the changes, with the exception that "Recreation" needs to be left in the title of Section 7.12.07 to allow recreational docks up to 12 feet in width. Anticipating approval by the State Department of Ecology, the Committee also recommended this matter be referred to the Ways and means Committee for the preparation of appropriate legislation. `�rrr `'�' UTILITIES COMMITTEE COMMITTEE REPORT July 2, 1990 SANITARY SEWER SERVICE FOR NORTHWARD/ORCHARDS PROPERTY (Referred 6/25/90) The Utilities Committee recommends concurrence with the Public Works DepartmenYs recommendation that Northward be allowed to proceed with the interim sanitary sewer system improvements as proposed in their "Preliminary Design Report For A Sanitary Sewer Interbasin Transfer From The Upper Heather powns Basin To The Lower Maplewood Basin" (Dodds Engineers, Inc., May 1990).

This exemption is for our development known as Renton East or "The Orchards" on the West side of Duvall Avenue between N.E. 6th and N.E. 8th Streets. 1560 140ch Ave.N.E. su�celoo Our engineering consultants, Dodds Engineers, Inc. , ��i1��,vc�A 9soo5 have prepared a detailed design report for interim sewer improvements to be made to the Lower (206)747-t7z6 Maplewood basin. These improvements will allow our F�X(zo�)74i-4157 development, as well as the Bakke Property and Forrest Creste developments, to be provided with sewer service until such time as the East Renton Interceptor is constructed. At that time, our sewer service will be re-directed to the East Renton Interceptor. Our consultants have been working closely with the City staff and their consultants, RH2 Engineering, to prepare this report and respond to all comments and recommendations. On May 29, 1990 we met with Mr. Jim Bakke of the Bakke Property and Mr. George Berry of Dominion Developments (proponents for Forrest Creste) to discuss the report, the routing and the associated costs. At that time, both groups expressed an interest in participating in these interim improvements.
