Parties Present: Vanessa Dolbee Ann Nielsen, Assistant City Attorney Douglas Chappelle (Appellant) • Exhibit No. M: Stonegate Homeowners' Association/City of Renton Letter of Agreement regarding the easement on Tract H. Preliminary Matter: Ms. Nielsen stated that as part of the yellow file there is a critical areas report dated August 2008, in that report there is a Fig. 4, which is a diagram that she believed was in error. The error at issue is the location ofDP4, the DP4 is correctly located in the NE quadrant of Exhibit A. Douglas Chappelle stated that he was here because of three fundamental areas that as an impacted citizen, as a tax payer and also as a professional engineer these areas are very important to him. As an impacted citizen, this project is taking place in his neighborhood and he has been involved with this project from the time it became publicly known. There have been a number of concerns that he has raised throughout the process. One concern seems that his concerns have not been heard. Some were not addressed in the final package and he hopes that those might be corrected or explained through this hearing. As a tax payer, the question appears to be how badly does the City really need this lift station given the changing circumstances. A quick calculation says that every man, woman and child is $50 into this project. There is a financial interest in the right thing being done the first time, and finally as a professional engineer he is very much interested in seeing projects that impact the community being completed with professional confidence, completely and accurately well done from the very beginning. He hopes to see that the City has accurately thought through this and that the project has accurately been assessed as being appropriate and the impacts that this will have on the community. He is not here to shut down the project, it will ultimately be needed somewhere, some place and at some time. He would like to be assured that this is the right place and time for such a project. Based on current data, that does not appear to be entirely clear. In his appeal, there are seven bullet points that he is most concerned about: 1. Incomplete and inaccurate package. There were several inaccurate calculations with respect to impervious area. The traffic control and safety plans are more important to the neighborhood. This neighborhood has been particularly hard hit with the Duvall Road, Coal Creek Parkway construction. The ERC simply stated that the traffic plan needed to be improved prior to starting the project. However, the traffic control plan was not required to be a part of the application for public comment. RCW does require obtaining and including information regarding significant impacts. Stonegate Lift Station Appeal LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 3 In terms of the impervious surface calculation, the City provided a landscaping plan with a calculation of several hundred square feet of impervious surface being added. The overlay of the grid on top of the landscaping (Ex. 2) plan shows that a more accurate calculation of the impervious area would be closer to 3,500 square feet. The report stated that the new impervious surface would be approximately 1,000 square feet. The scale of the grid pattern indicates each square is exactly JO-feet. On the diagram, the light grey area is concrete, the light grey without any data is the existing building, and the dark grey area is pavement. 3. Wetland Downgrade Buffer Description. The first map he presented was a photo from the critical areas report that had been layered over with a map downloaded from Google, and on top of that were four drawn circles. NE 261h is to the South and 148'h is to the East. The solid black areas are the generator areas, control areas and pavement areas that were noted in the landscaping plan. The solid black line is the wetland boundary delineation, slightly below that is a dashed line for the wetland buffer boundary. The circles are all I 00-foot radius circles and the photo shows that the JOO-foot arcs overlap the installation of the facility and that the facility would encroach into the buffer. 4. Was withdrawn due to the City offering a correction to this issue. 5. Noise Standards. The ERC determined that an emergency generator would create a certain amount of noise at the property between Tract Hand Lot I, the City did not get an easement to, and the use of that would amount to trespass. The actual easement was recorded with King County and subsequently revised and corrected Ms. Nielsen interjected that #5 is not an issue with SEPA and not a part of the SEPA determination and so would be beyond the jurisdiction of the Hearing Examiner. Item 2and 7 are also not appropriate issues to be before the Hearing Examiner. Item 6, the Noise, Traffic Control and Traffic Safety Plan, while it is noted under appellant's concerns, these are premature at this point. Those are items that will be taken up at a later date prior to the commencement of the construction. They are not SEPA based issues. Doug Chappelle continued that the noise calculation from the generator to the property line was not done correctly, it should be at the easement boundary rather than the lot line between Tract Hand Lot I. The applicant would have to add 6dBA of attenuation to the generator in order to meet the WAC required noise on top of the property that they control. The ERC has erred due to considering the wrong property boundary. 6. ERC failed to impose sufficient conditions to mitigate impact. There is no Traffic Control plan in existence. It appears that the public is being denied the opportunity to review, comment or object to documentation with respect to the Traffic and Safety Plans. There should be more attention to schedule and accuracy. In particular there should be more concern for the school children that gather in that location waiting for a school bus. Children from kindergarten through high school would gather and wait just a few feet from the construction site. It appears that the ERC failed in their duties to ensure the completeness of the package such that it addressed the communities concerns under this applicant. /~ Stonegate Lift Station Appc_, LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 4 7. There are allowances within the RCW that state, if there are utilities projects then all the noise regulations and all other regulations do not apply. That does make sense, because a person does not need to file an injunction against a tractor making noise while installing a sewer line for an occupied house. Legislature has stated that if it is an essential utilities project, there cannot be nuisance stoppages of critical work. This is not an essential utility project, as there is no one that is dependent upon this project being implemented that exist today. This has been shown by responses to emails and briefings at homeowner's association meetings. The City will not be able to point to a single person today that would suffer if this project did not move forward. On that basis, the ERC should have identified this as not being subject to the essential utilities exclusion within the RCW and assured that the applicant would conform to all applicable regulations regarding environmental, occupational safety and health as implemented in the RCW. This then falls under the category of omission or failure to impose sufficient conditions. The Examiner stated that it had been earlier stated that they did attempt to meet noise standards. They have not exempted themselves from complying with SEPA or other regulations because this is an essential project. This does not appear to be relevant at this point. Mr. Chappelle further stated that the 45 dBA that they referred to is the day to day normal operations after they are finished with the construction. What the package is silent on is the construction activities. The ERC should have made a declarative statement one way or the other as to whether or not this project qualifies as an essential utility project. Review of the record showed that some of the areas that fall under parks, recreational and open space came back with no comment. There were a number of public comments received that suggest that the community was concerned about these areas that are addressed by the SEPA with respect to animals, plants etc. The construction of the sanitary lift facility in this area, Tract H had been dedicated to open space. The Comprehensive Plan states that each department has certain responsibilities to defend these interest areas within the City and the ERC determination as published is not at all clear that such things were being done. There are bobcats, deer and bear running through that area, that space should be preserved and yet with this application, that space would be destroyed. After discussion regarding Item #2, the Examiner stated that 2 was not a valid SEPA appeal issue based on the explanation given. The Examiner further stated that# 2 and #7 are out in regards to today's hearing. A short break was taken ---Returned at I 0:43 am Ms. Nielsen stated that she had no cross examination for Mr. Chappelle. Ms. Dolbee would give background information, John Hobson would talk about project related issues and Mr. Christensen would discuss other efforts regarding the mitigation for the actual construction. Ms. Dolbee gave a brief overview of the project and entered exhibits. The applicant asked for a SEPA determination for the replacement of the existing Stonegate Lift Station and the Summerwind Lift Station for one combined lift station and approximately one thousand linear feet of 12 inch and 15 inch sanitary sewer pipe and 4,900 linear feet of 8 inch sanitary sewer pipe. The sanitary sewer pipes are located within the rights- of-way of NE Sunset Boulevard, NE 261h Street, Lyons Ave NE, NE 22"d Court, NE 20'" Street and Field Ave NE. The new lift station would be located in the northeast corner of the parcel. Stonegate Lift Station Appeal LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 5 The ERC issued a DNS-M with 2 mitigation measures. With SEPA, if something is a code requirement, safety plan, traffic plan, times of construction, etc., those are not made additional mitigation measures because they are subject to appeal and those requirements must stand. In this circumstance, the safety and traffic plan are not required submittals for the SEPA review but are required prior to commencement of construction. Those will have to be reviewed and approved. Just north of26'" Street is the existing Stonegate lift station that will be removed. It is approximately the size of a large dog house. North of that is Tract H, the location of the n_ew Stonegate lift station. There is a note on the plat that states that Tract H is for open space and for signs and lighting and shall be owned and maintained by the Stonegate Homeowners' Association and is subject to an easement for sanitary sewer and storm drainage in favor of the City of Renton. The lawn area would not be impacted and would remain the same. The area for the new lift station is currently overgrown with blackberries and other vegetation. The new Stonegate lift station would include a control building, a generator, both of which would be above ground. Below ground to the east would be an overflow storage, a wet well and a valve vault. The landscape shows landscaping to the east, west and south, which would provide substantial screening from the neighborhood and the asphalt driveway. The lift station would be accessed directly off of l 48'h Avenue SE. There were two streams identified in the critical areas report and two wetlands. Within the area of the lift station there are two streams and one wetland, one stream is a Class 4 stream on the west side of Lots I and 2. The sewer division will fence the wetland buffer and the easement to provide protection during construction. Ann Nielsen asked questions of Vanessa Dolbee regarding the process of the critical area study and the geotechnical study and the fact that both were based on expert studies and analysis. The reports meet the City code requirements. These studies were also evaluated as a part of the SEPA process. Mr. Chappelle asked questions of Vanessa Dolbee regarding the traffic control plan and that it is required by ordinance and not SEPA, and wondered why SEPA asked for proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts. Ann Nielsen stated that Ms. Dolbee had indicated that the traffic mitigation plan was not required as part of this particular SEPA evaluation The basis for that determination is that it will be evaluated at a later date prior to the commencement of construction. Traffic impacts are reviewed if the impacts increase by the construction as a direct result of this project. There may be some temporary construction traffic impacts, but that would end when the construction ends. Mr. Chappelle stated that the open space was the only recreation area in the area. On the right hand leg of Tract H there is a note that shows the existing sanitary station. The Examiner stated that the easement covers the entirety of Tract H, not just a portion of it. John Hobson stated that he is the project manager for the design construction for the Stonegate lift station project. Currently the Stonegate station is serving more than it was originally designed for, it is at the low end of the basin and there are new neighborhoods that flow into the system. It no longer has the overflow capacity that is required. It currently pumps up to the Summerwind lift station and relies on the Summerwind lift ~ Stonegate Lift Station Appc«1 LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 6 station to pump all the sewage to Duvall Avenue. Summerwind lift station is 25-years old, it is at the end of its lifecycle. It does not make any sense to replace the Summerwind lift station when it can be removed, run gravity down to the Stonegate lift station and rebuild the Stonegate station big enough to take the entire basin and serve it with one station rather than two and have the required overflow capacity. Should there be some type of shutdown by the facility or generator failure there would still be two hours of time for maintenance crews to get out and hook up a portable generator as well. This new design has two backups, an on-site generator and a connection for a portable generator. If the new station is not put in now, there would be a sewer moratorium and no further development in the area would be allowed. The new station would be designed to serve the entire basin at full build out, a 20 year anticipated growth. Recently a developer attempted to build a new house on 148th and in the process of putting in the sewer line, the road was chewed up quite badly, as part of this project, that part of 148'" that was damaged would be resurfaced A new drawing of the lift station with regards to the wetland boundary was presented, the circular arcs were incorporated into the new drawings. The I 00-foot arcs show that projecting I 00 feet off the center, the buffer is protected in all directions. They will be building a fence along the buffer line and will have no construction in the buffer area. There will be no permanent construction within the buffer area. The actual temporary construction will also stay outside of the buffer area. Regarding the impervious surface, Mr. Chappelle is correct, the actual addition of impervious surface is just slightly under 4,400 square feet. That additional impervious surface is under the required surface for doing any type of mitigation to it under the 2005 King County Surface Water Manual, however, the City is going above and beyond and will be installing an oil/water separator on the site for water quality purposes and the water will be dispersed using a level spreader, which will slow the rate down so it does not come out in a fixed small point, it will be spread out and flow into the buffer area through a long spread pipe. Mr. Chappelle stated that he appreciated that the City is recognizing that there were some errors, it was his feeling that those errors are not going to have any outcome in the mitigation area. There is one concern remaining and that would be with the animals that are in the area, in particular a bobcat that has moved in the area. He asked if anything was being done to protect those animals. lion Logan stated that she is with ESA Adolfson, 5309 Shilshole Avenue NW, Ste. 200, Seattle 98106. She is a professional wetland scientist and she did the field work on the wetland boundary, she visited the site on June 5, 2007 and a second time on February 14, 2008. The incorrect figure within the SEPA report on Exhibit 7 (fig 4), the error was DP4 located at the NE corner of the exhibit. DP4 showed an intrusion that was not in the wetland area, it showed it just outside of the wetland, and that is incorrect. DP stands for Data Plot -pits are dug into the ground data sheets are written up that characterize the wetland or upland areas. She was unaware that the location on the map was incorrect until the appellant's letter. She went back to the original sketch map that was made after the site visit. The original map shows that DP4 was meant to be within the wetland. She worked with the CAD technician in the office, pulled up the original land survey data, went through each of the flag points and tried to figure out if there was an error made on their part. There was an error. There was a flag on the map that read "DP" they were not sure _where it had come Stonegate Lift Station Appeal LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 7 from, most likely from some previous flagging, it is an unidentified point that was picked up by the surveyors and later on incorrectly labeled as DP4. A corrective figure, which was entered at the beginning of the hearing, shows DP4 in the correct location and titled "corrected Figure 4". They follow the Arrny Corps of Engineers 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual, which is adopted by the City of Renton Municipal Code. It is based on the soil, vegetation and general hydrology. The wetland is determined by digging the data plots in the upland and wetland and then it is determined where the boundary lies between the two. The soils would be probed to find the edge of the wetland, everything has to meet the criteria that is outlined in the Army Corps of Engineers manual. It is not significant that it was misplaced on the exhibit, the wetlands seem to have been defined in the same place in both exhibits. Ms. Nielsen concluded that appeal items 2, 3, 4, and 7 could be withdrawn from the appeal. This was agreed by both parties, leaving items I, 5, and 6 still at appeal. Lunch Break: Return I :32 pm. Dave Christensen, City's Waste Water Utilities, Engineering Supervisor stated the efforts that the City has gone through with the neighborhood in negotiations for the easement that was obtained and in order to mitigate neighborhood concerns. He has been meeting with this neighborhood for approximately a year and a half trying to understand what the issues are with the project and identifying the things that could be taken care of as part of the project. As for the easement for the new lift station location, six specific items were found agreeable to the homeowners' association. There is a written agreement that includes the following: Roadway improvements on 148'" including pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalks. Where the sewer line would be installed on the roadway, they are required to grind and overlay those portions that were disturbed, including a five foot grind on the edges and a repave of the rest of the roadway. They preferred to have a subdivision that looks like it has new roadways, so it was agreed that they would grind to a 2" grind and overlay on all of the public roadways contained within the Stonegate plat. Restore all trench work with a hot mix patch. Landscaping would be installed to blend with the existing landscaping on Tract H around the lift station in order to buffer the station from the surrounding Stonegate neighborhood. As part of the new lift station there is an emergency generator that will be on the site, they agreed to not exceed 45 dba on the property line between Tract H and Lot I on Stonegate. This generator will only operate when the other generator cannot operate. When they exit the Stonegate neighborhood and enter into the Summerwind neighborhood they go through Tract G, which is an emergency Fire Department access road. There are two gates on that road, one on each end. They have agreed to replace those gates with more current conforming gates that allow for better pedestrian access and bicycle passage. These agreements are listed in a letter of agreement between the City of Renton and the Stonegate Homeowners' Association. '· Stonegate Lift Station Appeal LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 8 Currently the existing lift station is accessed off of NE 261h Street, that access has now been moved to 148'" Ave SE in order to not have maintenance affect the neighborhood when they are working and doing maintenance on the lift station. The intersection of NE 26 1 " and 148'" is the location where the Issaquah School District picks up the school children. It has been agreed that the contractor will not start work in that intersection area until after 9:00 am to allow the school children to be picked up. They have also established an e-mail contact and a phone contact with the Stonegate Homeowners' Association and the Summerwind Homeowners' Association so that as activities occur within the neighborhood they can be kept up to date on what is happening with the project. The scheduled hours of work are standard for the City of Renton of7:00 am -5:00 pm Monday through Friday with the additional safety concession of9:00 am at the entrance to accommodate the school children. They do not anticipate any weekend work, but it cannot be completely excluded. It would have to be by special request from the contractor. Code does not allow work on Sunday for any reason. Mr. Chappelle asked about the safety plan that appears to protect the workers with no focus on the neighborhood. If a construction mitigation plan is required then one of the things attached would be a preliminary traffic control plan. It appears that these plans do exist in some circumstances prior to the final application process. The Examiner questioned Mr. Christensen regarding safety standards for the general public. Mr. Christensen stated that those standards are identified in their construction documents and the state has documentation for the public safety through their L&I documents. The City and the State have requirements that not only protect the workers but as well the general public that are around the project. They have traffic cones, one or two tlaggers depending upon the length of the trench. This project is not unique in any manner, this standard construction that is done in neighborhoods throughout the City. Mr. Chappelle stated that he has stated his desires for communication so that there is no misunderstanding of expectations on either side. Mr. Christensen stated that the generator would be run once a week or once a month during normal daytime hours to ensure that its operation is there when the emergency does occur. It is there for emergency purposes only, but it does require testing to make sure it is operational when an emergency does occur. Most likely it would be once a month. Mr. Chappelle questioned the start time of9:00 am, but what about when the children return from school, which normally occurs between 2:30 and 4:00 pm. Mr. Christensen stated that was not an issue expressed by the homeowners' association, it appeared to not be as critical a time as the morning, so no modifications were made to the afternoon work schedule. If it was brought up by the homeowners' association, they would make every effort to accommodate. The impo,tant thing to remember is that the work being done at the intersection would take 1-3 days and then they will be moving up the street. Mr. Chappelle stated that he did not know about the agreement with the homeowners' association and the City for the easement and therefore, he would withdraw issue #5. Stonegate Lift Station Appeal LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 9 The Examiner explained the SEPA appeal process and the fact that sometimes the City adds some code provisions, but those provisions are not part of the SEPA and therefore are not subject to appeal. As each section of street is torn up, people living in that section will be inconvenienced when coming or going. Those things have to be coordinated. It appears that there is an e-mail and phone list to help do that. So while the concern for the neighborhood is understood, some of the issues are not really SEPA issues, hopefully these issues can be settled prior to construction Mr. Chappelle stated that he did understand, but since they are not addressed anywhere else he has no other recourse. He would like that concern to be reflected in the record, he would not belabor the issue any further. Upon questioning by Mr. Chappelle, Mr. Christensen stated that he is not a licensed engineer but within the staff there are multiple professional engineers and this project was designed by an outside consultant and the people working on it are registered professional engineers. In closing, Mr. Chappelle stated that his concern with the incomplete and inaccurate application package has had several of the omissions and errors corrected. He is still concerned with the impacts to wildlife, it appears that the particular department reviewed the package prior to the received comments in that area. It is not entirely clear that the public comment was available to the ERC when that determination was made, it may not have resulted in any mitigation, but it should be included in the record. With respect to the comprehensive plan concerns and how priorities are balanced it appears that would be best covered in another venue, he would welcome the Examiner's findings in that area based on the arguments presented today. He welcomed the City's correction on the 100' buffer depiction to more accurately make that calculation. He also welcomed the correction on the DP 4 as it was in the critical areas report to explain the error and make it clear that the City is conforming to the requirements. As to the noise standards, he has withdrawn that concern. With respect to the failure to impose sufficient conditions on noise, traffic, and safety, he still has concerns that the planning is not complete nor an accurate depiction of what is going to happen within the community. They appear to be a long ways from an acceptable standard in terms of communicating with the community. He would like to see the City step up to a much higher standard of coordination to make sure there are no tragedies in the neighborhood. With respect to the schedule, there still exist some discrepancies within the application package regarding how long this will take. He recalled a statement being made at one of the homeowners' meetings that this project could take as long as IS months. That makes it appear that the project has not been planned out. There just is not a lot of evidence that good planning has been done. In closing, Ms. Nielsen stated that she would like to clarify that what is left in this appeal is # I and #6 everything else has been stipulated to or withdrawn. It appears that the main issue today is a simple fact of inconvenience of construction that must be dealt with in this neighborhood. There is an inconvenience with highway repair that everyone that drives those roads must deal with, there is inconvenience when bridges get shut down for a Seafair festival. The bottom line is, this is ~ Stonegate Lift Station Appc~, LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 10 catalyzed by inconvenience, which is not necessarily unjustified. Anyone who lives on this residential or public street would obviously be inconvenienced. What is before the Examiner is a limited issue, whether this project and in particular the determination that SEPA came to, that is DNS-M, whether the Appellant has shown that there is a significant adverse impact, if so was it not mitigated by the mitigation conditions that were put upon by SEPAs evaluation and issuance ofa DNS-M. In the first instance, with # I it does not appear that the Appellant has come close to meeting his burden to overcome the SEPA determination, he made general categorizations of what he believes is missing or erroneous information without being able to substantiate what is basis for those allegation. The City has shown the documentation, methodology and information that it relied on, there has been no concrete evidence or showing any inconsistencies or omissions. #6 brings the point of have the impacts been mitigated, there are going to be impacts and they are an inconvenience. The inconvenience will not only be to the people living there, but the people having to travel along I 48'" as well. Has the City done everything to mitigate those potential impacts, not only did they meet those impacts, but they went above and beyond taking into consideration the inconveniences that are going to be caused to the nearby residents. The King County Surface Water and Design Manual only requires a standard ofup to 5,000, the City has taken more mitigation efforts in dealing with the impervious surface issues. The noise and traffic control plans were addressed, they were contemplated and reviewed and they were assessed all during the ERC process. Until the project actually begins, there will be no specific traffic control plan in place, they would not be able to consider the specifics during the SEPA process. The appellant must show that there was significant error that this project did of itself as it was presented to the ERC constitutes a significant impact, the appellant has fallen far short of meeting that burden. They ask that the Examiner affirm the decision of the ERC. Mr. Chappelle stated that the City has acknowledged minor errors and he believes that ERC deserves the opportunity to re-evaluate with the corrected infonnation and with full benefit of the complete public comment. With respect to #6 the absence of the information speaks for itself. If the information does not exist as of yet, how can ERC rule on whether or not the mitigation is adequate. Those are elements of concern to the community and the community needs to have input and a voice on those issues. 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 2: 18 am. FINDINGS. CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: I. The appellant, Douglas E. Chappelle, filed an appeal of a Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated (DNS-M) that the City issued for the proposed Stonegate Sewer Lift Station. The appellant filed the appeal in a timely manner. 2. The City is in the process of replacing two existing lift stations. One of the stations, Springbrook, is old Stonegate Lift Station Appeal LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 11 and in need of replacement. The second station is the original Stonegate Lift Station and the City determined that it was inadequate to serve the vicinity surrounding it. The City determined that its best course of action was to install one larger station to replace those two older ones. 3. The City by its Public Works Department is the proponent of the lift station. The City is also the SEPA review agency. The City's Environmental Review Committee (ERC) reviewed the proposal and issued the DNS-M. 4. The ERC imposed the following two conditions: I. The applicant shall be required to comply with the recommendations included in the geotechnical report, "Final Geotechnical Report" prepared by HWA GeoSciences Inc., dated November 7, 2008. 2. Temporary construction fencing shall be placed along the portion of the I 00-foot buffer area of Wetland A that is immediately north of the Stonegate lift station construction site prior to commencement of construction. 5. The proposed lift station will be built on an easement in the Stonegate Subdivision's Tract H. It will cover approximately 4,500 square feet (corrected from a figure of approximately 1,000 square feet-see below). In addition to the actual lift station approximately 1,000 linear feet of 12 and 15-inch sanitary sewer pipe and approximately 4,900 linear feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer pipe will be installed or replaced in the rights-of-way of NE Sunset Boulevard, NE 26th Street, Lyons Avenue NE, NE 22nd Court, NE 20th Street and Field Avenue NE. The old lift station and the Summerwind Lift Station will be removed as part of this project. 6. The applicant does not propose to remove any trees as part of this proposal. 7. The project is located near two wetlands and two streams. One wetland feeds May Creek which is north of the proposed lift station. A critical areas report was prepared for this project. As it currently stands, no work will occur within the critical areas buffers for either wetland or either creek. There was some initial information that showed that the required wetland buffer was not appropriately delineated and that work might occur within that buffer. 8. The appellant originally submitted seven (7) issues on appeal. All but two of these issues were resolved at the public hearing. Nonetheless, some of the resolved issues are what the appellant indicated were indicative of the erroneous or misleading information that the ERC relied on when making its determination. Therefore, the appellant still believed that the ERC should be re-reviewing the proposal in light of all of the information. 9. The appeal letter raised the following seven issues: I) Incomplete and Inaccurate application Package -Numerous material errors and omissions exist in the application and several were identified by timely public comments. These errors and omissions included inaccurate calculations (egg. impervious area) inconsistencies (egg. schedule durations) incomplete statements (e.g. subject 5. Animals), and omissions (e.g. traffic control and safety plans). Failure to demand a correct and complete package damages the credibility of the determination. By WAC 197-1 1-080 (Renton adoption through RMC 4- 9-070D), the ERC are required to obtain and include information regards significant adverse '\ Stonegate Lift Station App._, LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 12 impacts in their environmental documents. In the absence of this vital information, the ERC must make clear that such information is lacking or that substantial uncertainty exists. If the costs are not exorbitant nor the means to obtain it speculative or not known then the information must be obtained. 2) Violation of Comprehensive Plan -During the public comment period the ERC was notified of certain impacts or inconsistencies the subject project makes to the City of Renton Comprehensive Plan [e.g. Comprehensive Plan Elements P-6, P-4I, P-E, P-53, P-56]. The City requires themselves to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan per RMC 4-I -070A. In the event the Comprehensive Plan as implemented by Chapter 4 of the PMC conflicts or overlaps, the provisions of RMC 4-1-080 govern and an interpretation of requirements is required. There is no evidence in the ERC Report that the conflicts were considered much less an implementation interpretation made and documented. Note that RMC 4-1-070D requires that the most restrictive/higher standard govern in the event of conflict. 3) Incorrect Wetland Bounds 100 ft Buffer Depiction -The 100 ft wetland boundary buffer depicted in Exhibits 3, 6 and 7 of the ERC Report is incorrectly constructed [even assuming the wetland boundary has been correctly identified in the ERC Report -see item 4) below]. As a result the lift station facility encroaches into the buffer area by several feet. This encroachment defeats the intent ofRMC 4-3-050A7. Such a result was clearly not intended by the ERC in their report however the lament error in the materials supplied by the applicant and adopted by the ERC has apparently passed unnoticed to date. The ERC should correct the depiction of the Wetland Buffers to comply with RMC 4-3-050.M.6. 4) Failure to use 'Best Available Science' -The ERC failed to provide proper consideration to the Critical Areas Report finding that DP-4 was within a wetland. As pointed out in public comments, the depicted boundary excludes point DP-4 by a substantial amount indicating that the wetland boundary is significantly different than that mapped in exhibits 3, 6 and 7 of the ERC Report. Through RCW 36.70A. I 72 the City, in designating and protecting critical areas are required to include the best available science in developing policies and development regulations to protect the functions and values of critical areas. In addition, the City is required to give especial consideration" to conservation or protection measures necessary to preserve or enhance anadromousl fisheries. The Administrator (as referred to in RMC 4-3- 050.M.4.d.i), presumably embodied by the ERC, upon being made aware of be science contained within the Critical Areas Report should have determined that reconditions have changed old orders a new delineation of Regulatory Edge of Wetlands in accordance with RMC 4-3-050.M .4.a. in order to fully comply with RCW 36.70A. l 72. 5) Noise Standards -The ERC Report in paragraph D.4 presumes to declare the point at which the noise measurement of the emergency power generator should be made is at the property line between Tract Hand Lot I of Stonegate. The value of 45 dBA is correct in accordance with WAC 173-60-040(2)(a) and (b ). However, conducting the measurement at the property line between Tract Hand Lot I would probably constitute a trespass by the applicant. Endorsing the measurement at this location through the ERC Report rises to the level of an unconstitutional "taking" by the City. The correct location for the measurement is defined by the boundary of the easement granted by the Stonegate HOA, beyond which the applicant has not secured any rights. Stonegate Lift Station Appeal LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 13 6) Failure to impose sufficient conditions to mitigate impacts -The ERC Report fails to adequately address several aspects of the SEPA checklist. a. Noise -The ERC Report fails to address allowable noise criteria during construction merely characterizing the noise as short germ's and "temporary." As such the applicant has violated RMC 4-9-070L.9 and the ERC has allowed this violation to pass uncorrected thus violating their duty under 4-l-070A and WAC 197-1 I in general and WAC 197-11- 660 in particular. b. Traffic Control Plan -The omission of the traffic control plan noted in ERC Report paragraph D.6. and the validation thereof by merely requiring that "a traffic control plan would be required prior to construction" serves to deny the Public any meaningful recourse as to its content. As the traffic control plan was not available during the public review period nor was it available to the ERC for attachment to their report (or was omitted ifit was), the contents of the eventual traffic control plan are not subject to redress through this appeal process as the time limits for appeal will have expired long prior to its availability. As such, the applicant has violated RMC 4-9-070L.9 and the ERC has allowed this violation to pass uncorrected thus violating their duty under 4-l-070A and WAC 197-11 in general and WAC 197-11-660 in particular. c. Safety Plan/Considerations -The omission of any mention of a safety control plan or the safety monitored and their duties responsibilities and powers as cited by the applicant in his response to Public Comment serves to deny the public any meaningful recourse as to its content or lack thereof. As the ERC Report fails to mention safety planning as a topic nor the safety monitor volunteered by the applicant it can only be concluded that such artifices don't actually exist or are constrained by the limits of existing developmental standards and environmental regulations. Either way, the ERC Report fails to adequately consider and mitigate for the applicant's proposed introduction of certain attractive nuisances and health hazards into the particular and peculiar environments of Stonegate and Summerwind. By virtue of this omission the subject of enhanced or tailored safety mitigation measures beyond to limits of existing developmental standards and environmental regulations is not subject to redress through this appeal process or through future enforcement action (since nothing is required of the applicant), By allowing this omission to pass, the ERC has failed in their duty under 4-l - 070A and WAC 197-1 I in general and WAC 197-11-660 in particular. d. Schedule -The ERC Report fails to place a constraint on allowable schedule for the accomplishment of primary construction. As such, the applicant is presumed to have a free hand to take as long as he wants or even to abandon the project up to the limits of existing developmental standards and environmental regulations. By virtue of this omission, the subject of how long the disruption to the neighborhoods might last up to the limits of existing developmental standards and environmental regulations is not subject to redress thorough this appeal process or through future enforcement anion (since nothings optic is required of the applicants. By allowing this omission to pass, the ERC has failed in their duty under 4-1-070A and WAC 197-11 in general and WAC 197-11-660 in particular. 7) Failure to determine 'essentialness' of the project -As the WAC make special allowances in r-, Stonegate Lift Station App,_, LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 14 certain criteria when a construction project concerns an "essential utility" it is vital to make a determination as to whether or not this project is in fact "essential" as proposed. To fail to make this determination introduces uncertainty into which criteria should be used when and how. As the City (as applicant) has proposed this project it substantially exceeds the threshold criteria of RCW 36.70A.020 ( 12) " ... that those public facilities and services decease to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy ... " By this project being a matter of choice and not imminent necessity, the ERC should find that the proposed project, while unquestionably a utility project, is not, in fact "essential." I 0. The appellant believed that the concerns of the neighborhood were not heard and the City did not respond to those concerns. While it is not necessary to rehash the history of this project, the City indicated that it met with the community for over one and a half years and met with Stonegate's residents over the easement and conditions for granting it. The City agreed in advance to certain conditions that became part of the background mitigation measures for the proposal. Those included: upgrading 148th Street immediately east of the site to include curbs, gutters and sidewalks; grind and repave the entire plat so that the road was not merely patched; restore the trench with hot mix so it is not left open; install and modify landscaping on Tract H to blend with the existing landscaping and restore the work areas; emergency power generators would not exceed 45 dBA at Lot I, the nearest residential parcel; and upgrade the pedestrian gates on Tract G. The City also decided that access would be via 148th and not through the plat other than when working on specific segments. Additionally, the work would be scheduled to not interfere with the school bus stop in the morning hours; work would be governed by the code on hours of operation which are 7a.m to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and no Sunday work; establish an e-mail and phone tree to inform residents of both Stonegate and Summerwind of activities; and open only 150 feet at any one time and restore that area as they progress. The City indicated it was amenable to addressing the afternoon school bus schedule. 11. In addressing the appeal issues, the appellant more specifically objected to the absence of a Traffic Control Plan and a Safety Plan. The appellant believed that in order to review this project for its environmental impacts both plans needed to be available for the ERC. The City noted that both plans are generally formulated with the contractor and that, at this point, or when the ERC review was done, no contractor had been selected. It was explained to the appellant that those measures usually come out of the contracting for a project. 12. Certain SEPA guidelines may be used to create special review criteria or limitations on the review for "essential" utilities. The City presented testimony that it was not enlisting any exceptions for this proposal. It was not going to be declared an essential utility. 13. The appellant alleged that the City did not determine that the project was needed and was merely a matter of choice. This office has no ability to second guess decisions of the City on capital improvement projects as a primary appeal issue. If on review it was determined that an EIS were required, then alternatives including a "no build" option might be included in such analysis but not as a standalone issue in a SEPA appeal. 14. The City noted that its calculations for impenneable surfaces were incorrect. The correct value should have been 4,400 square feet. The City noted that this value still falls under the threshold in the 2005 King County Storm Water Manual for special considerations but that the City will still be providing an oil water separator and a spreader pipe system. Stonegate Lift Station Appeal LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 15 15. The City, through its wetlands consultant, admitted that Data Plot 4 (DP4) was inadvertently misdrawn on the Exhibit J. It was depicted as displaced to the west and outside of the wetland area. It was correctly located in the field and on the new exhibits. 16. The City testified that the wetland buffer's I 00 foot setback will be observed in all directions from the wetland boundary. The buffer's boundary had been depicted as merely displaced to the south I 00 feet which would not have provided the appropriate l 00 foot buffer to the portions of the wetland that projected south. The actual plans for the lift station will observe the buffer and no work will occur within the buffer. l 7. The appellant was concerned that the project or portions of it or its equipment would represent an "attractive nuisance" to children. These issues are not any different for this project than any other construction project. While those concerns may be legitimate, they do not rise to creating more than a moderate impact on the quality of the environment. The City also noted that each segment of trench will be filled at the end of the day and that there should not be any portions left open. 18. The appellant was concerned about noise created by the emergency generators that serve as backup power in the event of a general power failure. These generators are tested periodically, once a week or once a month. Testing reveals that noise at the perimeter or the closest receiving residential structure will meet code requirements. CONCLUSIONS: l. The decision of the governmental agency acting as the responsible official is entitled to substantial weight. Therefore, the determination of the Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the city's responsible official, is entitled to be maintained unless the appellant clearly demonstrates that the determination was in error. The appellant has failed to demonstrate error. 2. The Detennination of Non-Significance in this case is entitled to substantial weight and will not be reversed or modified unless it can be found that the decision is "clearly erroneous." (Hayden v. Port Townsend, 93 Wn 2nd 870, 880; 1980). The court in citing Norway Hill Preservation and Protection Association v. King County Council, 87 Wn 2d 267, 274; 1976, stated: "A finding is 'clearly erroneous' when although there is evidence to support it, the reviewing court on the entire evidence is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed." Therefore, the determination of the ERC will not be modified or reversed if it can meet the above test. For reasons enumerated below, the decision of the ERC is affirmed. 3. The clearly erroneous test has generally been applied when an action results in a DNS since the test is less demanding on the appellant. The reason is that SEPA requires a thorough examination of the environmental consequences of an action. The courts have, therefore, made it easier to reverse a DNS. A second test, the "arbitrary and capricious" test is generally applied when a determination of significance (DS) is issued. In this second test an appellant would have to show that the decision clearly flies in the face of reason since a DS is more protective of the environment since it results in the preparation of a fu 11 disclosure document, an Environmental Impact Statement. ~ Stonegate Lift Station App~-· LUA-09-049, ECF • August 25, 2009 Page 16 4. An action is determined to have a significant adverse impact on the quality of the environment if more than a moderate impact on the quality of the environment is a reasonable probability. (Norway, at 278). Since the Court spoke in Norway, WAC 197-11-794 has been adopted, it defines "significant" as follows: Significant. (I) "Significant" as used in SEPA means a reasonable likelihood of more than a moderate adverse impact on environmental quality. (2) Significance involves context and intensity .. .Intensity depends on the magnitude and duration ofan impact.... The severity of the impact should be weighed along with the likelihood of its occurrence. An impact may be significant if its chance of occurrence is not great, but the resulting environmental impact would be severe if it occurred. 5. Also redefined since the Norway decision was the term "probable." Probable. "Probable" means likely or reasonably likely to occur, ... Probable is used to distinguish likely impacts from those that merely have a possibility of occurring, but are remote or speculative. (WAC I 97-11-782). 6. The appellant did not provide a basis that could be used to reverse the City's determination. The proposal will undoubtedly create impacts to the community. There will be impacts from constructing the lift station although it is more remote, and more impacts from the ripping up of pavement, trenching and pipe laying, backfilling and eventual repavement but these activities and their disruption in an urban environment will be localized, temporary and eventually hidden. In an urban environment streets arc periodically repaved, and water and sewer lines replaced. It is true that the applicant made some mistakes and submitted some erroneous information to the ERC. But even those mistakes do not amount to errors that require re-review by the ERC. The question is, overall, did the ERC reach a reasonable conclusion or is the conclusion clearly erroneous or arbitrary and capricious. The applicant's map shows DP4 displaced from its true position. The impermeable surface area was also miscalculated. DP4's position had no real bearing on the issue. While the actual impermeable surfaces do exceed those submitted by a factor of 3 or 4, those numbers still fall within the guidelines of the Stormwater Manual requiring no special conditions and the applicant is doing more than required by Code. The project is modest and its more profound effects, digging and trenching in front of peoples' homes, are transient. Although its linear footprint runs about a mile, trenching will be done in short, 150 foot segments and closed up. The roadway will be regraded at the completion of the project. The lift station itself will be replacing one already on the subject site that is insufficient and another offsite lift station that is getting antiquated. The lift station will be landscaped to blend in with the immediate area. No work will occur in the wetland or wetland buffer areas. Noise meets code requirements. Transportation and safety plans are generally drawn up when the contract is signed. These are not issues generally addressed by the ERC but other code requirements. 7. Looking at the entire project and the current urban environment of homes, streets and sidewalks and the Tract H open space, the reviewing body has to determine if this proposal would have more than a moderate impact on the quality of the environment. It does not appear that the proposal has the level of impacts or potential impacts that demand additional environmental scrutiny. The appellant has not shown that the ERC was substantially misled by some of the information it had when reviewing this proposal. While there were errors in submittals, they were not substantial in a manner to have misled the ERC to the Stonegate Lift Station Appeal LUA-09-049, ECF August 25, 2009 Page 17 overall consequences of this proposal. This office does not believe that the decision of the ERC needs to be reversed or modified. 8. The appealing party has a burden that was not met in the instant case. The decision of the ERC must be affirmed. DECISION: The decision of the ERC is affirmed.

In regards the subject Environmental Threshold (SEPA) Determination, I am writing to notify you of my desire to exercise my right of appeal. This letter is intended to serve as the filing of that appeal in accordance with the instructions I received from the City Clerk and RMC 4-8-110. The Stonegate Lift Station, LUA09-049, SEPA review and comment period uncovered several material errors and omissions in the application package. The determination reached by the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) is inconsistent with the proper consideration and disposition of these defects as required by City and State codes. In no particular order and not necessarily mutually exclusively, these defects are each summarized as follows: I) Incomplete and Inaccurate Application Package -Numerous material errors and omissions exist in the application and several were identified by timely public comments. These errors and omissions included inaccurate calculations [e.g. impervious area], inconsistencies [e.g. schedule durations], incomplete statements [e.g. subject 5. Animals], and omissions [e.g. traffic control and safety plans]. Failure to demand a correct and complete package damages the credibility of the determination. By WAC 197-11-080 (Renton adoption through RMC 4-9-070D), the ERC are required to obtain and include information regarding significant adverse impacts in their environmental documents. In the absence of this vital information, the ERC must make clear that such information is lacking or that substantial uncertainty exists. If the costs are not exorbitant nor the means to obtain it speculative or not known, then the information must be obtained. 2) Violation of Comprehensive Plan -During the public comment period the ERC was notified of certain impacts or inconsistencies the subject project makes to the City of Renton Comprehensive Plan [e.g. Comprehensive Plan Elements P-6, P-41, P-E, P-53, P-56]. The City requires themselves to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan per RMC 4-l -070A. In the event the Comprehensive Plan as implemented by Chapter 4 of the RMC conflicts or overlaps, the provisions ofRMC 4-1-080 govern and an interpretation ofrequirements is required. There is no evidence in the ERC Report that the conflicts were considered much less an implementation interpretation made and documented. Note that RMC 4-l-070D requires that the most restrictive/higher standard govern in the event of conflict. 3) Incorrect Wetland Boundary JOO ft Buffer Depiction -The I 00 ft wetland boundary buffer depicted in Exhibits 3, 6 and 7 of the ERC Report is incorrectly constructed [even assuming the wetland boundary has been correctly identified in the ERC Report-see item 4) below]. As a result, the lift station facility encroaches into the buffer area by several feet. This encroachment defeats the intent of RMC 4-3-050A 7. Such a result was clearly not intended by the ERC in their report however the latent error in the materials supplied by the applicant and adopted by the ERC has apparently passed unnoticed to date. The ERC should correct the depiction of the Wetland Buffers to comply with RMC 4-3-050.M.6. 4) Failure to use 'Best Available Science' -The ERC failed to provide proper consideration to the Critical Areas Report finding that DP-4 was within a wetland. As pointed out in public comments, the depicted boundary excludes point DP-4 by a substantial amount indicating that the wetland boundary is significantly different than that mapped in Exhibits 3, 6 and 7 of the ERC Report. Through RCW 36. 70A. l 72, the City, in designating and protecting critical areas, are required to include the best available science in developing policies and development regulations to protect the functions and values of critical areas. In addition, the City is required to give "special consideration" to conservation or protection measures necessary to preserve or enhance anadromous fisheries. The Administrator (as referred to in RMC 4-3-050.M.4.d.i), presumably embodied by the ERC, upon being made aware of the science contained within the Critical Areas Report should have detennined that '"conditions have changed" and ordered a new delineation of Regulatory Edge of Wetlands in accordance with RMC 4- 3-050.M.4.a. in order to fully comply with RCW 36.70A. I 72. 5) Noise Standards -The ERC Report in paragraph D.4 presumes to declare the point at which the noise measurement of the emergency power generator should be made is at the property line between Tract Hand Lot l of Stonegate. The value of 45 dBA is correct in accordance with WAC l 73-60-040(2)(a) and (b ). However, conducting the measurement at the property line between Tract H and Lot l would probably constitute a trespass by the applicant. Endorsing the measurement at this location through the ERC Report rises to the level of an unconstitutional "taking" by the City. The correct location for the measurement is defined by the boundary of the easement granted by the Stonegate HOA, beyond which the applicant has not secured any rights. 6) Failure to impose sufficient conditions to mitigate impacts -The ERC Report fails t.o adequately address several aspects of the SEPA checklist. a. Noise-The ERC Report fails to address allowable noise criteria during construction merely characterizing the noise as "short tenn" and "temporary." As such, the applicant has violated RMC 4-9-070L.9 and the ERC has allowed this violation to pass uncorrected thus violating their duty under4-l-070A and WAC 197-l l in general and WAC 197-11-660 in particular. b. Traffic Control Plan -The omission of the traffic control plan noted in ERC Report paragraph D.6. and the validation thereof by merely requiring that "a traffic control plan would be required prior to construction" serves to deny the Public any meaningful recourse as to its content. As the traffic control plan was not available during the public review period nor was it available to the ERC for attachment to their report (or was omitted ifit was), the contents of the eventual traffic control plan are not subject to redress through this appeal process as the time limits for appeal will have expired long prior to its availability. As such, the applicant has violated RMC 4-9-070L.9 and the ERC has allowed this violation to pass uncorrected thus violating their duty under 4-1-· 070A and WAC 197-11 in general and WAC 197-11-660 in particular. c. Safety Plan/Considerations -The omission of any mention of a safety control plan or the "safety monitor" and their duties, responsibilities and powers as cited by the applicant in his response to Public Comment serves to deny the Public any meaningful recourse as to its content, or 'lack thereof. As the ERC Report fails to mention safety planning as a topic nor the safety monitor volunteered by the applicant it can only be concluded that such artifices don't actually exist or are constrained by the limits of existing developmental standards and environmental regulations. Either way, the ERC Report fails to adequately consider and mitigate for the applicant's proposed introduction of certain attractive nuisances and health hazards into the particular and peculiar environments ofStonegate and Summerwind. By virtue of this omission, the subject of enhanced or tailored safety mitigation measures beyond the limits of existing developmental standards and environmental regulations is not subject to redress through this appeal process or through future enforcement action [since nothing is required of the applicant]. By allowing this omission to pass, the ERC has failed in their duty under 4-l-070A and WAC 197-11 in general and WAC 197-11- 660 in particular. d. Schedule -The ERC Report fails to place a constraint on allowable schedule for the accomplishment of primary construction. As such, the applicant is presumed to have a free hand to take as long as he wants or even to abandon the project up to the limits of existing developmental standards and environmental regulations. By virtue of this omission, the subject of how long the disruption to the neighborhoods might last up to the limits of existing developmental standards and environmental regulations is not subject to redress through this appeal process or through future enforcement action [since nothing specific is required of the applicant]. By allowing this omission to pass, the ERC has failed in their duty under 4-l-070A and WAC 197-11 in general and WAC 197-11-660 in particular. 7) Failure to determine 'essentialness' of the project-As the WAC make special allowances in certain criteria when a construction project concerns an "essential utility," it is vital to make a determination as to whether or not this project is, in fact, "essential" as proposed. To fail to make this determination introduces uncertainty into which criteria should be used, when and how. As the City (as applicant) has proposed this project, it substantially exceeds the threshold criteria ofRCW 36.70A.020(12) " ... that those public facilities and services necessary to support development shall be adequate to serve the development at the time the development is available for occupancy ... " By this project being a matter of choice and not imminent necessity, the ERC should find that the proposed project, while unquestionably a utility project, is not, in fact "essential." Douglas E.

The applicant is requesting a SEPA Environmental Review for the replacement ofStonegate Lift Station located at 5610 NE 26'" Street {parcel #8035400580) and approximately 1,000 linear feet of 12 and 15-inch sanitary sewer fipe and 4,900 linear feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer pipe located in the rights-of-way of NE Sunset Blvd., NE 26 Street, Lyons Avenue NE, NE 22nd Court, NE 20'" Street, and Field Avenue NE. This project is located in both the Stonegate and Summerwind neighborhoods, which are single-family residential neighborhoods. The Stonegate neighborhood is zoned Residential I (R-1) Dwelling Unit per net acre, and has a land use designation of Residential Low Density. The Summerwind neighborhood is zoned Residential 8 (R-8) dwelling units per net acres and has a land use designation of Residential Single Family. As proposed, no construction would be on private property except the lift station. The City has secured two easements for the lift station from the Stonegate Homeowners Association, which are as follows: 1) Right of Entry Agreement which allows the City the Right-of-Entry for the purpose of collecting survey, geotechnical, wetlands, and related data for the project; and, 2) Sanitary Sewer Lift Station Easement which permits the construction, reconstruction, installation, repairers, replacement, enlarging etc ... for the Stonegate lift station. Both easements are tied to the parcel #8035400580, which is identified as "Tract H" herein. Currently, the existing residential developments known as Summerwind and Stonegate are served by separate gravity collection systems, lift stations, and force main conveyance systems. The purpose of this project is to combine the flows and utilize a single force main system. The project would provide a sanitary sewer lift station that has the capability of providing sanitary sewer service to the entire area at full build-out. This project is a part of"The City of Renton Facilities Plan", which designates the project as a "future service improvement project". After the installation of the new lift station the existing Summerwind sanitary sewer lift station and the existing Stonegate sanitary sewer lift station would be removed, as the new Stonegate lift station would be capable of providing sanitary sewer service to both of these neighborhoods in addition to surrounding neighborhoods. The existing Stonegate lift station is located on the same parcel as the new lift station would be constructed, but sited north of the existing lift station. The new lift station would include a control building, overflow storage, wet well, valve vault and a generator. From the new Stonegate lift station, flow would be conveyed via force main uphill to the west, and southwest along NE 26'" Street, Lyons Avenue NE, NE 22°d Court, and along an easement between the two developments connecting to NE 20'" Street, then the new lines would transition into a gravity system on NE Field Avenue. Between the existing gravity sewer system along Field Avenue NE and the proposed new Stonegate lift station the applicant proposes to construct approximately 4,900 feet of 8-inch diameter PVC force main along with 370 feet of 8-inch diameter HDPE pipe. In addition, approximately 1,000 feet of 12-inch and 15-inch diameter gravity sewer pipe along Field Avenue would be installed to replace the existing smaller diameter pipe. As a result of the lift station construction, the existing landscaping on the private property would be removed. The project area is currently vegetated with grass and shrubs, no trees would be removed as a part of this project. The City has proposed to provide landscaping that blends with the existing landscaping on Tract H, around the new lift station to provide screening and act as a buffer to the Stonegate neighborhood. The City has also proposed the following mitigation/restoration for the new sewer system: 1. Install Curb, gutter and sidewalk and adjacent asphalt paving from the existing curb return on the north side of NE 26th Street, along 148'" Avenue SE to the northerly edge of the property entrance, after the entrance the sidewalk would taper to match existing asphalt along 148'" Avenue SE. 2. Provide a complete 2-inch grind and 2-inch asphalt overlay to all existing public roadways within the plat of Stonegate. 3. The City would also fully restore Roadways Sections, which include NE 26'" Street from Lyons Avenue NE to 148'" Avenue SE, Lyons Avenue SE from the south end of the plat to NE 26'" Street, NE 24'" Court from cul-de-sac to Lyons Avenue NE, NE 23'd Court from cul-de-sac to Lyons Avenue NE, NE 22nd Court from cul-de sac to Lyons Avenue NE, NE 21" Court from Lyons Avenue NE to cul-de-sac, and the existing emergency access road from NE 22nd Court to NE 201 " Street.

The Contractor would be required to restore all trench work with hot-mix asphalt in accordance with City Standards as they progress and would not be allowed to exceed 1,000 linear feet of temporary trench patch at any one time. 5. The lift station emergency power generator would not exceed 45 dBA at the property line between Tract H and Lot 1 of Stonegate. 6. The City would replace both Fire Access Gates in Tract G with current Fire Department standards, with an emphasis on allowing pedestrians and bicyclists passage. The lift station is located within the vicinity of two wetlands and two streams as identified by the provided "Critical Areas Report". Wetland A, is identified as a Category I wetland and would have a JOO-foot buffer, Wetland B, is identified as a Category 3 wetland and would have a 35-foot buffer. May Creek, which is located north of the project site is a Class 2 stream with an JOO-foot buffer and the second stream is a tributary to May Creek, which is considered to be a Class 4 stream with a 35-foot buffer. The applicant has indicated that construction for this project would not impact the wetlands, streams, or their associated buffers. i PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations.

Environmental Impacts The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts: ERC REPORT 09-049 City of Renton Department ofCow-·•nity & Economic Development STONEGATE LIFT STATION Report of May 18, 2009 1. Earth E•"'ronmental Review Committee Report LUA09-049, ECF Page 4 of7 Impacts: The applicant submitted with their application a Final Geotechnical Report prepared by HWA GeoSciences Inc. ('HWA'), dated November 7, 2008. HWA's investigation included 18 borings to explore the subsurface conditions along the proposed project alignment. The drillings were conducted by Gregory Drilling of Redmond, Davies Drilling of Snohomish, and Holocene Drilling of Graham in depths ranging between approximately 5 and 41.5 feet below the ground surface. HWA personal observed and recorded pertinent information including stratigraphy, soil engineering characteristics and ground water occurrences at different locations along the project alignment. The results of their study varied dependent upon location of the borings. Although, in general, glacial till was encountered in most locations. Man-modified fill materials were encountered above the existing sewer trench on Field Avenue, and along the proposed alignment beneath roadways. Recent alluvium, recessional glacial outwash, recessional glacial lacustrine, glacial till and advance glacial outwash soils were encountered at locations near May Creek, such as the culvert crossing at NE 26th Street and the area proposed to accommodate the new Stonegate lift station. HWA observed ground water seepage along 147th Avenue SE, 148th Avenue SE, at the Stonegate- Summerwind connection, NE 26th Street culvert under crossing, and the location for the new Stonegate lift station. The depths at which groundwater was encountered ranged from 7.5 feet below the surface (location for the new lift station) to 31 feet below the surface (location of the Stonegate-Summerwind connection site). No groundwater was encountered along the rest of the proposed project alignment. In addition, the Final Geotechnical Report provided conclusions and recommendations based on the soil and ground water conditions encountered during their explorations. HWA's conclusions and recommendations addressed the following geotechnical issues: temporary shoring, ground water control/dewatering, lift station excavation, buoyancy, pipe bursting, horizontal directional drilling, open cut trenching, soil excavation characteristics, sloped open-cut excavations, shored excavations, ground water and construction dewatering, pipeline and manhole settlement, pipeline support and bedding, trench backfill materials and compaction, pipeline and buried structure design considerations, jacking and insertion pits, seismic considerations, wet weather earthwork, and drainage and erosion considerations. As such, staff recommends a mitigation measure that the applicant shall comply with the recommendations included within the provided Geotechnical Report. The applicant has indicated that approximately l, I 00 cubic yards of excavation would be conducted for the construction of the proposed facilities and the excavated native material would be used as backfill where possible. In addition, the applicant has indicated that a temporary erosion and sedimentation control plan would be prepared for the proposal based on the Geotechnical Report recommendations and the City of Renton requirements. This temporary erosion and sedimentation control plan prepared for this project would include the installation of drainage structure protection devices, fabric filters, sedimentation control/dewatering facilities, dewatering splash pads, stabilized construction entrances, check dams and trenchless installation methods. To further reduce erosion potential the applicant has proposed to immediately back fill the trenches and provide timely restoration. Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall be required to comply with the recommendations included in the geotechnical report, "Final Geotechnical Report" prepared by HWA GeoSciences Inc., dated November 7, 2008. Nexus: SEPA, RMC 4-4-060 Grading, Excavation and Mining Regulations. 2. Water a. Wetland, Streams, Lakes Impacts: The subject site is located within the vicinity of two wetlands (indentified as Wetland A and Wetland B herein) and two streams. As such, the applicant provided a Critical Areas Report ('CAR'), prepared by ESA Adolfson, dated August 2008. The wetland and stream investigation focused on the area proposed for the new lift station and the undeveloped areas along the proposed force main alignment. ERG REPORT 09-049 City of Renton Department of Cow·-·•nity & Economic Development STONEGATE LIFT STATION Report of May 18, 2009 E,,. .. ;ronmental Review Committee Report LUA09-049, ECF Page 5 of7 The CAR indicated that Wetland A is part ofa large 142 acre wetland that extends offsite to the north, east and west. This large wetland was preliminarily identified in the Critical Areas Inventory (Jones & Stokes, 1992) and is mapped along the main stem of May Creek. The vegetation in this wetland is dominated by reed canarygrass and Douglas spirea, with scattered clumps of evergreen blackberry primarily along the boundaries of the wetland. The CAR indentified Wetland A as a Category 1 wetland because it is greater than 10 acres in size, and has three or more vegetation classes. The wetland also includes May Creek, which contains listed salmonids, resulting in a Category 1 rating. Category 1 wetlands have a required standard buffer of 100-feet. Wetland B is associated with a tributary of May Creek and is located near the intersection of SE 104th Street and 148th Avenue SE (outside of Renton City limits). This wetland experiences seasonal saturation and/or inundation, and is connected to the tributary of May Creek that flows under SE 104th Street via a 24-inch culvert. The vegetation in this wetland is dominated by red alder, black cottonwood, Indian plum, reed canarygrass, with chattered slough sedge. The CAR indentified Wetland B as a Category 3 wetland because it is small in size, has low plant species richness and minimal wildlife use, and is surrounded by human disturbance. Category 3 wetlands have a required standard buffer of25-feet. The CAR also identified two streams within the proximity of the subject project. The first stream is May Creek, which is located north of the proposed Stone gate lift station. May Creek flows under the 148th Avenue SE Bridge and continues offsite to the west. May Creek is approximately 10 to 15 feet wide where it crosses 148th Avenue SE and narrows slightly, to approximately 5 to 8 feet as it travels west. May Creek is perennial or intermittent with known salmonid presence. The May Creek basin supports five species of salmonids: Chinook, sockeye, and coho salmon, and settlhead and cutthroat trout. May Creek is considered a Class 2 stream because it is not a Shoreline of the state, has perennial flow with salmonid presence, and is mapped on Water Class Map as Class 2; buffers for Class 2 streams are 100-feet. The second stream identified is a tributary of May Creek. This tributary is a seasonal channel with an estimated 5-foot width and !-foot depth in the vicinity of NE 26th Street. In the vicinity of May Creek, this tributary has a less defined bed and banks, dispersing flow over a broad area. The tributary also contains dense herbaceous vegetation in this area. Therefore, the CAR concluded that salmonid presence in the tributary is unlikely. Furthermore, this tributary has been channelized , culverted and the banks have been armored in many locations. This tributary of May Creek is considered a Class 4 stream because it is a non-salmon-bearing intermittent stream and is mapped on Water Class map as Class 4; buffer widths for Class 4 streams are 35-feet. A portion of the forced main is proposed to cross this tributary within the right-of-way of NE 26th Street (where the tributary is located within a culvert under the right-of-way). The applicant has indicated that this portion of the sewer system would be constructed using tunneling/directional drill methods, which would not require in-water work or cause impacts to the stream buffer or the stream itself. As proposed, the applicants would not impact either stream or wetland and their associated buffers. Although, the location of the new Stonegate lift station is within close proximity to the 100-foot buffer of Wetland A, as such staff recommends as a mitigation measure that prior to construction, temporary construction fencing be placed along a portion of the 100-foot buffer area of Wetland A that is immediately north of the Stone gate lift station construction site. Mitigation Measures: 1. Temporary construction fencing shall be placed along the portion of the 100-foot buffer area of Wetland A that is immediately north of the Stonegate lift station construction site prior to commencement of construction. Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations, Critical Areas Regulations 3. Vegetation Impacts: The majority of the project site is located under rights-of-way; as such, these areas do not have any vegetation. Although, the new Stonegate lift station is located on a vacant parcel that is owned by the Stonegate neighborhood Home Owners Association. This parcel is vegetated mainly with lawn and ERC REPORT 09-049 City of Renton Department of Com=•mity & Economic Development STONEGATE LIFT STATION Report of May 18, 2009 E"""'ronmental Review Committee Report LUA09-049, ECF Page 6 of7 ornamental planting that surround the existing lift station. The grass and shrubs in the new location for the lift station would be cleared as a part of construction. No trees would be removed as a part of this project. The applicant has proposed to re-landscape areas of the site that are not used for the above ground portions of the lift station. The landscape plan provided with the application includes 63 new trees, 322 new shrubs and wild strawberry and potentilla ground cover. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation required Nexus: NIA 4. Noise Impacts: It is anticipated that short-term noise would occur during regular operation hours of construction. Many comments were received from the residents that live in the Summerwind and Stonegate neighborhoods that indicated they have concerns about the noise impacts of the construction. Construction times for this project shall be restricted to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Work on Saturdays shall be restricted to the hours between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and no work shall be permitted on Sundays. In order to further reduce temporary noise impacts to the residents of the Summerwind and Stonegate neighborhoods the applicant has indicated that all construction, in residential areas, is intended to be completed daily by 5:00 p.m. instead of 8:00 p.m .. There could potentially be long term sound impacts to the residence of the Stone gate neighborhood created when the emergency generator for the new lift station is in use. In order to mitigate this potential impact the applicant has proposed to enclose the generator in sound attenuated housing. This would reduce the noise impacts to allowable levels when in operation. The emergency power generator would not exceed 45 dBA at the property line between Tract H and Lot I of Stonegate. This generator would only be in operation during power outages and occasionally for short periods during normal working hours for regular servicing. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation required Nexus: NIA S. Aesthetics Impacts: The majority of this project would be underground, specifically under existing rights-of-way, as such aesthetic impacts would be minimal. Open trench construction within the rights-of-way could result in a patchwork effect, in the road pavement, when the trenches are filled and re-paved. In order to reduce this potential visual impact the applicant has proposed to provide a complete 2-inch grind and 2-inch asphalt overlay to all existing public roadways within the plat of Stonegate and the applicant would also fully restore Roadways Sections, which include NE 26"' Street from Lyons Avenue NE to 148"' Avenue SE, Lyons Avenue SE from the south end of the plat to NE 26"' Street, NE 24"' Court from cul-de-sac to Lyons Avenue NE, NE 23'd Court from cul-de-sac to Lyons Avenue NE, NE 22ruJ Court from cul-de sac to Lyons Avenue NE, NE 21" Court from Lyons Avenue NE to cul-de-sac, and the existing emergency access road from NE 22"d Court to NE 20th Street. In addition to the right-of-way impacts the new above ground portions of the Stone gate lift station could have aesthetic impacts to the Stonegate neighborhood as well. In order to screen the above ground lift station building the applicant has provided a landscape plan that provides visua61 screening to the single-family residences within the Stonegate neighborhood. The landscape plan includes 63 new trees, 322 new shrubs and wild strawberry and potentilla ground cover in addition to a small block wall that borders the south and west side of the lift station. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation is required. Nexus: NIA 6. Transportation Impacts: During construction, the project is anticipated to have temporary impacts on transportation. Many comments were received from the residents of the Summerwind and Stone gate neighborhoods that indicated concern about traffic interruptions during construction. In order to mitigate for this temporary impact the ERC REPORT 09-049 City of Renton Department o/Com,..,mity & Economic Development STONEGATE LIFT STATION Report of May 18, 2009 E""ironmental Review Committee Report LUA09-049, ECF Page 7 of7 applicant has indicated that two-way traffic would be maintained on NE Sunset Boulevard and flagged one- way traffic would be maintained through the work zone on the residential streets. In addition to maintaining one-way traffic on the residential streets, the applicant has indicated that no more then 150 feet of trench would be exposed at one time and a traffic control plan would be required prior to construction. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation is required. Nexus: NIA E. Comments of Reviewing Departments The proposal has been circulated to City Department and Division Reviewers.

Well -it's not really a question on the lift station itself-I have lived in Renton the last 20 years, trust them to do what is right, and I am all for it. But there is a loose connection. And maybe you need to put me in touch with someone else at Renton as a start ... The sidewalk in front of our house is deteriorating faster than most. When we lived off Union Ave just east of here, Renton took ownership for the sidewalks -including repair/replacement and sealing the cracks with a rubber sealant which was really nice. And I think this is one of the reasons I'm having trouble -water is getting under the sidewalk causing it to settle and crack. 1 The questions are, who maintains my sidewalk? If its Renton, can my sidewalk be repaired concurrent with the lift station work (since the sidewalks at the top of my street (just yards away from mine) will be affected anyway)? If it is my responsibility, can I work with the lift station contractor to have the work done concurrently? And, if Renton is the owner of our sidewalks, they really should consider that sealant again -it was nice work. Thanks!

Hobson Tuesday, May 19, 2009 10:46 AM 'TadWilloughby@msn.com' Vanessa Dolbee RE: Stonegate Sanitary lift station at Stonegate entrance The sewer construction that was done on 1481h Ave SE near the entrance to your neighborhood was constructed by a private developer in a roadway that is currently under the jurisdiction of King County. As part of his project, it was the developers responsibly to repair 148th Ave SE, the damaged sidewalk and the irrigation system. The developer has recently experienced financial difficulty and is unable to complete the restoration. Since 148 1h Ave SE is due to become a part of the City of Renton on May 31, 2009, the City will be replacing the damaged sidewalk and irrigation system and overlaying 1481h Ave SE with new asphalt as part of the Stonegate Lift Station Project. Once the new Stonegate Lift Station's "force main" sewer pipe is installed through your plat, the contractor will grind off the top two inches of asphalt throughout the entire Stonegate neighborhood and repave so that there are no trench patches visible. We will also be investigating the source of the water that is surfacing near the existing lift station. Once we have determined the source, we will implement a solution as part of the Lift Station Project. Water District 90, the water provider to this area, tested this water and determined that it does not contain chlorine or fluoride so it is unlikely that it is coming from a broken pipe. Our current schedule is to begin the pipeline installation in early August. This work will take place in the streets of the Stonegate neighborhood. This work, including the repaving, should take approximately 3 months to complete. The Lift Station portion of the project will begin in late September/early October and should be completed by early summer 2010. This work will take place adjacent to !48'h Ave NE approximately 150 feet north of the entrance to the Stonegate neighborhood. Access to the lift station project will be from !48'h Ave NE. Standard working hours are 7:00 AM to 5:00PM, Monday through Friday. If you have any more questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me.

I have some serious concerns about what is about to happen in the area at the front entrance to Stonegate. First, I have seen several projects that we were told would be done according to the regulations of the City of Renton that obvioulsy were not. The largest of those projects was with the builder putting in the connecting sewer line on 148th Avenue to several houses. After a long and tiresome process arguing with the City of Renton Debra Rogers finally made some headway and the City stepped in and at least laid some temporary pavement along the sidewalk area and flower beds where dozens of our preschoolers through high schoolers walk everyday. Was this a serious liability issue? You bet it was and thankfully no one was injured prior to the completion of the temporary work. The City has claimed the work would be done prior to the start of school this year. Status: It still stands in the temporary resolution phase to the problem at this time. Second, the City of Renton City Council urged the Stonegate Homeowners Association to negotiate with a third party who has a small easement off of NE 26th Avenue regarding his easement and including two homes behind the subdivision into his easement. After several hearings and negotiations an agreement was reached. Unfortunately, the other party in the deal pulled a typical "screw them" manuever and filed for bankruptcy and never paid the money owed to the Homeowners Association. In addition to that, the third party dug up some of our underground sprinkler system and damaged the line along the easement. To this day, which is now nearly two years later, this damage had never been repaired. According to one of the Stonegate Homeowners Association board members, the City of Renton claimed they would step up and repair this damage. Well I can tell you it hasn't happened yet! Status: No sprinkler system in that common area of the subdivision and another year of brown dead grass is coming with the summer months approaching. Third, we have a new problem at the front of the subdivision that just recently came into being due to the front entrance sewer project. In the flower bed and grass area to the north of NE 26th Avenue, we have a constant stream of water coming out of the ground and causing a large green slime and messy looking sludge pond. We have been told this is typical runoff and not a broken pipe. However, this runoff has continued since the repaving of 148th Avenue and has continued even during weeks with sunny/cloudy weather with no rain. This "runoff" should slow and come to a stop if that's what it really is. It has not stopped or slowed and is making a real mess in our common area. This problem is a result of the laying of the sewer line and the damage cause under the ground where the sprinkler system pipes run. Is there a broken pipe there? I would certainly bet there is. Finally, as should be the case with any project, where is the timeline of events. How long is this going to mess up our front entrance? When do you plan to start the project, after school ends? What is this substation going to look like. Are you planning on placing an ugly structure on our common area? Will the repairs to roadway make the roadway a mess or willl they actual repair the roadway to a better condition than it currently is in now. Will you be flagging the intersection for traffic control? What hours and days do you plan on doing the work?

Hobson Monday, May 18, 2009 12:35 PM 'sbslaton@comcast.net' Vanessa Dolbee RE: Comments on Stonegate proposed sanitary lift station project. Thank you for your email concerning the Stonegate Lift Station Project. There is no doubt that this project is going to be disruptive to the neighborhood. There will be noise from the construction activities and traffic through the work zone will have to be reduced to one lane. A traffic control plan will be established for the project to minimize impacts to the residents as they enter and leave the neighborhood. The Stonegate neighborhood, like all neighborhoods, have utilities under the road ways that need to be maintained, repaired, replaced and added to at times. The good news is that the new pipeline that is going to be installed in the roads is only going to be 4 feet deep. This means that the contractor will be able to install more pipe per day thereby reducing the overall time for the disruption to the roadways. Once the pipe is installed, the contractor will grind off the top two inches of asphalt throughout the entire plat and repave so that there are no trench patches visible. The construction will also repair the sidewalk and that portion of 1481h Ave NE that was disturbed as part of the developer project. Safety is always a major concern when the City initiates any construction activities. Prior to construction, the contractor will be informed of all safety issues and concerns regarding the residents and their children. The City will have a full- time construction inspector on site during the construction and he will monitor the safety of the construction work during the project. The City does utility construction projects in neighborhoods every year so we are familiar with the safety requirements to protect the public during these activities. These construction activities will be a new experience for many of the children in the neighborhood. I cannot stress enough that parents should explain to their children the dangers of entering a construction site and to stay away from the construction activities. As in all neighborhood construction, the City's inspector and the contractor's workers will watch for children and adults and help them navigate through the construction site. The following information should help you understand the reason and timing for this project. The existing Stonegate lift station currently pumps to the west into another lift station in the Summerwind Plat. The Summerwind lift station then pumps this wastewater into the existing 8" diameter gravity sewer in Duvall Ave NE which then flows south to Sunset Blvd. The Summerwind lift station has reached the end of its operational life. Additionally, the existing sewer main in Duvall Ave NE has reached its maximum capacity. Therefore, the City has determined that the most economical and best engineering solution is to abandon the Summerwind lift station by installing a gravity sewer pipe to allow it's wastewater to flow toward a new Stonegate Lift Station. This new Stonegate Lift Station will then pump this wastewater through a new "force main" sewer pipe within the Stonegate neighborhood and Summerwind neighborhood and directly into the Sunset Blvd sewer line which is large enough to handle these flows. This project allows the City to use one lift station to do the job that is currently being done by two, will replace the current Stonegate lift station with one that will handle all future wastewater requirements for the area, and frees up capacity in the existing Duvall Ave NE sewer main. Our current schedule is to begin the pipeline installation in early August. This work will take place in the streets of the Stonegate neighborhood. This work should take approximately 3 months to complete. The Lift Station portion of the project will begin in late September/early October and should be completed by early summer 2010. This work will take place adjacent to 148'h Ave NE approximately 150 feet north of the entrance to the Stonegate neighborhood. Access to the lift station project will be from 1481h Ave NE. 1 Standard working hours are 7:00 AM to 5:00PM, Monday through Friday.

There is no doubt that this project is going to be disruptive to the neighborhood. There will be noise from the construction activities and traffic through the work zone will have to be reduced to one Jane. A traffic control plan will be established for the project to minimize impacts to the residents as they enter and leave the neighborhood. The Stonegate neighborhood, like a11 neighborhoods, have utilities under the road ways that need to be maintained, repaired, replaced and added to at times. Safety is always a major concern when the City initiates any construction activities. Prior to construction, the contractor will be informed of all safety issues and concerns regarding the residents and their children. The City will have a full-time construction inspector on site during the construction and he will monitor the safety of the construction work during the project. The City does utility construction projects in neighborhoods every year so we are familiar with the safety requirements to protect the public during these activities. These construction activities will be a new experience for many of the children in the neighborhood. I cannot stress enough that parents should explain to their children the dangers of entering a construction site and to stay away from the construction activities. As in all neighborhood construction, the City's inspector and the contractor's workers will watch for children and adults and help them navigate through the construction site. The following information should help you understand the reason and timing for this project.

The sewer construction that was done on 148'h Ave NE near the entrance to your neighborhood was not done by the City of Renton. This was a private developer installed sewer main that was done in a King County street. The developer has experienced financial difficulty and is unable to complete the restoration. Since 148th Ave SE is due to become a part of the City of Renton on May 31, 2009, the City will be replacing the damaged sidewalk and irrigation system and overlaying 148th Ave SE with new asphalt as part of the Stonegate Lift Station Project. 1 Once the new Stone gate Lift Station-, s "force main" sewer pipe is installed, the contractor will grind off the top two inches of asphalt throughout the entire plat and repave so that there are no trench patches visible.

The disruption to our neighborhood for many reasons is unacceptable. First, we are concerned with our children's safety. We have a very large population of school age children who use our street and sidewalks to bike and to get to our bus stop at the entrance to our neighborhood every day. We have no alternate route. When the city tore up our streets last summer and fall, the bus stop was left completely unsafe, with no sidewalk for the kids to wait at, so cars drove dangerously close to them on 148th. The workers on that project were rude and vulgar and none of us felt safe with our kids around them. Our roads and sidewalks were not passable, so there was no safe way to take our kids for walks or bike rides. Second, we are concerned about how we are going to get in and out of our neighborhood and how long it will take. Last year the workers would keep us from entering and exiting our own neighborhood for 15-20 minutes at a time many times a day EVERY DAY! We have to get our kids to school, ourselves to work and have a way out in case of emergency. We have already dealt with Coal Creek and May Valley traffic for 1 1/2 years, 148th traffic at our enterance last summer and now traffic in our neighborhood for up to 2 more years. We are really frustrated by this! We are also concerned about the aesthetics of our neighborhood. The road and sidewalk at our enterance has still not been repaired by the city from last year, and this does not leave us hopeful that the rest of our roads will be left in any better condition. This directly effects the value of our homes. 2 Finally, we worry about the noise. Some of us do shift work and must sleep during the day or have children that nap during the day. The loud machinery will impact the quality of our lives enormously. We bought our house in Stonegate ten years ago because we loved the quiet and safe environment on a side road without much traffic. We specifically bought it to raise our small children. We would appreciate the City's reconsideration of the project. We would also like to know who is making this decision. If it is something that is voted on by council members, we would like to know how each of them votes. We hope that they will look at this project as if they had to live here during it!

Well -it's not really a question on the lift station itself-I have lived in Renton the last 20 years, trust them to do what is right, and I am all for it. But there is a loose connection. And maybe you need to put me in touch with someone else at Renton as a start ... The sidewalk in front of our house is deteriorating faster than most. When we lived off Union Ave just east of here, Renton took ownership for the sidewalks -including repair/replacement and sealing the cracks with a rubber sealant which was really nice. And I think this is one of the reasons I'm having trouble -water is getting under the sidewalk causing it to settle and crack. The questions are, who maintains my sidewalk? If its Renton, can my sidewalk be repaired concurrent with the lift station work (since the sidewalks at the top of my street Uust yards away from mine) will be affected anyway)? If it is my responsibility, can I work with the lift station contractor to have the work done concurrently? And, if Renton is the owner of our sidewalks, they really should consider that sealant again -it was nice work. Thanks!

However, I remain concerned that these hours leave children in our neighborhood exposed to the movement of large trucks and hazardous construction activities at times that the children are required to be out and in the immediate vicinity of the proposed lift station in order to catch the school bus. I would like to see a restriction added to the project that prohibits the movement of any vehicle over 10,000 lbs GVW or the operation of any equipment that produces noise in excess of 81 dBA when measured from any sidewalk related to any of the applicants activities upon Tract E, NE 26th Street, NE 24th Court, NE 23rd Court, NE 22 Court, NE 21st Court or Lyons Ave NE in the interval starting 15 minutes before any school bus pickup as scheduled by the Issaquah School District to immediately after the pickup actually occurs and the interval starting from the time a school bus drop off actually starts until 15 minutes later. In addition, I would like to see and be able to comment on the details of the applicants proposed safety and traffic management plan(s) especially as they pertain to preserving a safe environment for our children. I am interested, for 1 example, in what the applicant proposes for flaggers/safety monitors to assist the children at these times or the applicant's intent to preserve at least one contiguous sidewalk surface at all times.

First of all, this project is potentially very disruptive to our neighborhood. The project requires tearing up the streets that run the entire length of our neighborhood. This will pose not only a major inconvenience to the people coming and going from the neighborhood, but it will be noisy, dirty, and potentially very dangerous to the flow of traffic in our residential neighborhood. The Stonegate neighborhood is a residential area and as such, is not equipped nor is it accustomed to handle the activities of heavy machinery and equipment that will be a day to day reality for our small neighborhood. My priority concern is for the safety of the children in this neighborhood. The project is slated to start at the beginning of summer, just the time when school children ride around on their bikes, or play games outside. The children in our neighborhood are not accustomed to having heavy construction equipment in the neighborhood and don't fully understand the potential dangers of this equipment. Children darting around on bicycles or chasing balls are difficult to see and their movements are difficult to predict. When children are unaccustomed to having to play around construction equipment, they may not fully understand how to successfully play around it-without getting hurt-or worse. We as a neighborhood have been accustomed to letting our kids ride their bikes freely, run to neighbors' houses, play in yards or on the sidewalk. All of this could change. II would require the parents lo be extremely vigilant in tending to the safety of our children. All ii would take is for one careless worker to not see a small child on a bicycle or to not notice a child chasing a ball and the unthinkable could happen. I'm not sure the city wants to bear that responsibility. Finally, during this time of economic recession, it would make sense for the city to reconsider its expenditures. Does it in fact make sense to move forward with such an expensive project at a time when many of the building construction projects in our area have been put on hold, or gone into receivership or bankruptcy? It would be fiscally responsible for 1 the city to reconsider whether this project is absolutely necessary and makes sense to start at this time. Is forecasted · growth at the same level as it was when this project was originally proposed? If not, what will be the revised sanitary lift station needs of the community? Will the community absolutely benefit from this project as is or could there be a revision that could potentially save millions of tax dollars? As economic conditions and growth projections change, so much change the plans of our municipalities.

The following information should help you understand the reason and timing for this project. The existing Stonegate lift station currently pumps to the west into another lift station in the Summerwind Plat. The Summerwind lift station then pumps this wastewater into the existing 8" diameter gravity sewer in Duvall Ave NE which then flows south to Sunset Blvd. The Summerwind lift station has reached the end of its operational life. Additionally, the existing sewer main in Duvall Ave NE has reached its maximum capacity. Therefore, the City has determined that the most economical and best engineering solution is to abandon the Summerwind lift station by installing a gravity sewer pipe to allow it's wastewater to flow toward a new Stonegate Lift Station. This new Stonegate Lift Station will then pump this wastewater through a new "force main" sewer pipe within the Stonegate neighborhood and Summerwind neighborhood and directly into the Sunset Blvd sewer line which is large enough to handle these flows. This project allows the City to use one lift station to do the job that is currently being done by two, will replace the current Stonegate lift station with one that will handle all future wastewater requirements for the area, and frees up capacity in the existing Duvall Ave NE sewer main. The upside to an economic recession is that construction costs are cheaper. Since there are less private construction projects taking place, there are more contractors looking for work and this translates to lower bid prices for the limited number of public works projects.

I have some serious concerns about what is about to happen in the area at the front entrance to Stonegate. First, I have seen several projects that we were told would be done according to the regulations of the City of Renton that obvioulsy were not. The largest of those projects was with the builder putting in the connecting sewer line on 148th Avenue to several houses. After a long and tiresome process arguing with the City of Renton Debra Rogers finally made some headway and the City stepped in and at least laid some temporary pavement along the sidewalk area and flower beds where dozens of our preschoolers through high schoolers walk everyday. Was this a serious liability issue? You bet it was and thankfully no one was injured prior to the completion of the temporary work. The City has claimed the work would be done prior to the start of school this year. Status: It still stands in the temporary resolution phase to the problem at this time. Second, the City of Renton City Council urged the Stonegate Homeowners Association to negotiate with a third party who has a small easement off of NE 26th Avenue regarding his easement and including two homes behind the subdivision into his easement. After several hearings and negotiations an agreement was reached. Unfortunately, the other party in the deal pulled a typical "screw them" manuever and filed 1 ... _ ..... for bankruptcy and never paid the money owed to the Homeowners Association. In addition to that, the third party dug up some of our underground sprinkler system and damaged the line along the easement. To this day, which is now nearly two years later, this damage had never been repaired. According to one of the Stonegate Homeowners Association board members, the City of Renton claimed they would step up and repair this damage. Well I can tell you it hasn't happened yet! Status: No sprinkler system in that common area of the subdivision and another year of brown dead grass is coming with the summer months approaching. Third, we have a new problem at the front of the subdivision that just recently came into being due to the front entrance sewer project. In the flower bed and grass area to the north of NE 26th Avenue, we have a constant stream of water coming out of the ground and causing a large green slime and messy looking sludge pond. We have been told this is typical runoff and not a broken pipe. However, this runoff has continued since the repaving of 148th Avenue and has continued even during weeks with sunny/cloudy weather with no rain. This "runoff" should slow and come to a stop if that's what it really is. It has not stopped or slowed and is making a real mess in our common area. This problem is a result of the laying of the sewer line and the damage cause under the ground where the sprinkler system pipes run. Is there a broken pipe there? I would certainly bet there is. Finally, as should be the case with any project, where is the timeline of events. How long is this going to mess up our front entrance? When do you plan to start the project, after school ends? What is this substation going to look like. Are you planning on placing an ugly structure on our common area? Will the repairs to roadway make the roadway a mess or willl they actual repair the roadway to a better condition than it currently is in now. Will you be flagging the intersection for traffic control? What hours and days do you plan on doing the work?

" It is not acceptable for the applicant to be non-specific regarding what the allowable levels are and where they are measured. Allowable levels in publically accessible areas could be as high as 93 dBA. The applicant needs to state what their design criteria will be. I would suggest that the allowable noise emissions at the fence surrounding the sanitary lift station be less than 43 dBA given the surrounding areas public accessibility and history of utilization by both people and animals. Further, in item B.7.b.3), the applicant states that the sole mitigation to construction noise impacts will be by limiting working hours. Again, this is an unacceptable mitigation strategy given that residents will have no practical alternative to avoid excessive noise. Children transit the sidewalks twice a day on school days, play in their front yards and so on. Equipment and techniques are commercially and economically available to mitigate construction noise, and doing so should be a requirement of a project of this nature. I would suggest that the applicant be compelled to utilize equipment and techniques that do not result in violating any OSHA allowable exposure criteria, derated by an additional 6 dB to allow for the residential aspect of the neighborhoods, when measured from any sidewalk or private property (essentially the road curbs.) The project should be placed on hold until the project is appropriately amended, or if the applicant refuses to comply, the application should be rejected.

The disruption to our neighborhood for many reasons is unacceptable. First, we are concerned with our children's safety. We have a very large population of school age children who use our street and sidewalks to bike and to get to our bus stop at the entrance to our neighborhood every day. We have no alternate route. When the city tore up our streets last summer and fall, the bus stop was left completely unsafe, with no sidewalk for the kids to wait at, so cars drove dangerously close to them on 148th. The workers on that project were rude and vulgar and none of us felt safe with our kids around them. Our roads and sidewalks were not passable, so there was no safe way to take our kids for walks or bike rides. Second, we are concerned about how we are going to get in and out of our neighborhood and how long it will take. Last year the workers would keep us from entering and exiting our own neighborhood for 15-20 minutes at a time many times a day EVERY DAY! We have to get our kids to school, ourselves to work and have a way out in case of emergency. We have already dealt with Coal Creek and May Valley traffic for 1 1 /2 years, 148th traffic at our enterance last summer and now traffic in our neighborhood for up to 2 more years. We are really frustrated by this I We are also concerned about the aesthetics of our neighborhood. The road and sidewalk at our enterance has still not been repaired by the city from last year, and this does not leave us hopeful that the rest of our roads will be left in any better condition. This directly effects the value of our homes. Finally, we worry about the noise. Some of us do shift work and must sleep during the day or have children that nap during the day. The loud machinery will impact the quality of our lives enormously. We bought our house in Stonegate ten years ago because we loved the quiet and safe environment on a side road without much traffic. We specifically bought it to raise our small children. We would appreciate the City's reconsideration of the project. We would also like to know who is making this decision. If it is something that is voted on by council members, we would like to know how each of them votes. We hope that they will look at this project as if they had to live here during it!

One of the errors, if not corrected, should require that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) be prepared. 1.) The SEPA checklist item 3.a.2) states that the proposed lift station near NE 26th Street and 148th Ave SE has been located outside the 100-foot buffer of Wetland A.Based on the diagrams in the CAO report and the landscaping plan. Based on the diagrams available in the CAO report and the landscaping plan showing references to the wetland boundary this statement is not correct. It appears that the proposed lift station infringes on the 100 ft buffer by at least 2 feet (i.e. the 100 buffer line to the wetland boundary on the plan is incorrectly constructed). 2) The CAO report itself identifies a point (TP-4) outside of the illustrated Wetland A boundary and then determines that TP-4 is in a wetland. This suggests that the wetland boundaries for Wetland A are incorrectly drawn based on current conditions. 3) A year round substantial source of water in the vicinity of the proposed sanitary lift station exists and was omitted from all analysis, including the CAO and geotechnical reports. This water has existed for at least a year and its source has been investigated by various agencies at various times with varying thoroughness -the source remains unexplained. It is apparent above ground in the immediate vicinity of the existing lift station (the water emerges from the ground about 10 feet to the south east of the existing lift station). The water flows and puddles around the existing lift station facility and has led to the growth of algae and other species indicative of long term ponding and flowing water in that immediate area. Farther downhill the water is largely, but not always completely absorbed by the terrain resulting in at least a saturated surface layer of the landscaped portion of Tract H (the parcel the sanitary lift station is proposed to exist in, install a retaining wall in and partially pave over). The applicant needs to conduct a study and revaluation of the wetland boundary that accounts for recent changes in the nature of the wetland. The applicant needs to adjust the siting and/or design of the sanitary lift portion of the project to correctly accommodate a 100 foot wetland buffer based on the updated wetland boundary determination or complete an EIS. And, the source of the unexplained water impacting the project site needs to be evaluated; and corrected if it is a water main leak, or accommodated in the design of the project if natural. This project should be placed on hold until such time as these actions are complete.

On item A.6 the applicant states the schedule is Summer/Fall 2009. Elsewhere in the package, the Construction Mitigation Plan states that the proposed project is planned to begin in July, 2009 with completion scheduled for April 201 O. During easement discussion with the Stonegate HOA, the applicant stated that the project was planned for 15 months. The disruption by this project to the affected households is enormous: traffic will be interrupted/delayed, driveways may be blocked, kids may not be able to ride their bikes, sidewalks might be torn up, noise, dust, etc. It will be a construction zone for an extended period of time. What bothers me is that the City appears to not have any concept of how long this condition will really last or at least not one they're willing to advertise. There is a difference of 250% in the durations that have been thrown around and at least a four month disconnect in the application itself. The City has a notoriously poor record in performing construction projects in the time frames originally proposed and there seems to be no accountability. Weather is often offered up as the excuse -but this package reflects what I believe is the true root cause of schedule overuns -poor up-front planning and a cowboy approach to execution! The applicant owes the affected residents a detailed and realistic assessment of the construction activities and when and where they are planned to occur as part of the application package. This project should be placed on hold until such time as the applicant can produce such a schedule and the public is allowed an opportunity to comment on it.

For example, what are the expected failure rates of the generators and pumps; how are these failures detected, what is the reponse plan and time of the city in the event of a significant failure, how much margin is in the system before it exceeds its design capacity, how will the facility likely fail when it exceeds its design capacity (i.e. where will the spillage occur), is there any berming or retention ponds planned to provide additional margin before the wetland or May Creek is contaminated, how will residents (in the neighborhood and downstream) be notified of a significant spill and the appropriate actions to take?

I personally have seen (on a regular basis) hawks, eagles, and deer either upon Tract Hor circling immediately above and in the areas immediately adjacent to Tract H. There are nesting pairs of ducks and geese in and around Wetland A, and Tracts B, D, F and J. There is probably at least one nesting pair in Tract H, I just haven't looked recently. Black bear have been reported in Stonegate Tracts F and J (i.e. within 500 feet of the lift station, and within 150 feet of the proposed sewer line construction path.) A cub was darted and killed last year. Its presumed mother lingered in the area for several days. There is no evidence of a permanent presence. My wife has seen and photos exist of a bobcat in the immediately vicinity of Tract H. Washington Fish and Game have reportedly speculated that at least one bobcat has denned in the immediate vicinity of Tract H. The CAO report identifies May Creek as supporting salmonids.

Tract H is dedicated to Open Space by the Stonegate Plat (See King County File No S90P0068, Project LUA-96-043-FP & LND-10-0304 Note 18). Namely, I believe the applicant, if allowed to proceed as proposed will violate at least the following: Policy P-6: Maintain and develop underdeveloped public rights-of-way for public access and passive recreation where appropriate. Policy P-41: Steward the City's open space network to protect the City's natural character .... Objective P-E: Conserve, enhance, and create a variety of open space, wildlife, and natural resource areas. Policy P-53: The function of the open space network should: Protect land resources ... Maintain a habitat for wildlife ... Provide public access to creeks, rivers, and lakes. Policy P-56: Structures should be minimized within public open space areas. At a minimum, the applicant should be required to provide mitigating open space to the affected neighborhood of like kind in a suitable ratio (such as 3:1 ). If that is not possible, the applicant should be required to amend the project to utilize either an alternate site or to reduce the surface footprint of the project to not exceed the existing sanitary lift station's surface footprint (by, perhaps, building under ground or by not being so luxurious with above ground space allocations.) The project should be placed on hold until such time as the applicant can amend the proposal and another public comment period can be conducted, or if the applicant is unwilling to make reasonable accommodations to conform to the the City's published Comprehensive Plan, then the proposed project should be rejected.

However, I remain concerned that these hours leave children in our neighborhood exposed to the movement of large trucks and hazardous construction activities at times that the children are required to be out and in the immediate vicinity of the proposed lift station in order to catch the school bus. I would like to see a restriction added to the project that prohibits the movement of any vehicle over 10,000 lbs GVW or the operation of any equipment that produces noise in excess of 81 dBA when measured from any sidewalk related to any of the applicants activities upon Tract E, NE 26th Street, NE 24th Court, NE 23rd Court, NE 22 Court, NE 21st Court or Lyons Ave NE in the interval starting 15 minutes before any school bus pickup as scheduled by the Issaquah School District to immediately after the pickup actually occurs and the interval starting from the time a school bus drop off actually starts until 15 minutes later. In addition, I would like to see and be able to comment on the details of the applicants proposed safety and traffic management plan(s) especially as they pertain to preserving a safe environment for our children. I am interested, for example, in what the applicant proposes for flaggers/safety monitors to assist the children at these times or the applicant's intent to preserve at least one contiguous sidewalk surface at all times.

First of all, this project is potentially very disruptive to our neighborhood. The project requires tearing up the streets that run the entire length of our neighborhood. This will pose not only a major inconvenience to the people coming and going from the neighborhood, but it will be noisy, dirty, and potentially very dangerous to the flow of traffic in our residential neighborhood. The Stonegate neighborhood is a residential area and as such, is not equipped nor is it accustomed to handle the activities of heavy machinery and equipment that will be a day to day reality for our small neighborhood. My priority concern is for the safety of the children in this neighborhood. The project is slated to start at the beginning of summer, just the time when school children ride around on their bikes, or play games outside. The children in our neighborhood are not accustomed to having heavy construction equipment in the neighborhood and don't fully understand the potential dangers of this equipment. Children darting around on bicycles or chasing balls are difficult to see and their movements are difficult to predict. When children are unaccustomed to having to play around construction equipment, they may not fully understand how to successfully play around it-without getting hurt-or worse. We as a neighborhood have been accustomed to letting our kids ride their bikes freely, run to neighbors' houses, play in yards or on the sidewalk. All of this could change. It would require the parents to be extremely vigilant in tending to the safety of our children. All it would take is for one careless worker to not see a small child on a bicycle or to not notice a child chasing a ball and the unthinkable could happen. I'm not sure the city wants to bear that responsibility. Finally, during this time of economic recession, it would make sense for the city to reconsider its expenditures. Does it in fact make sense to move forward with such an expensive project at a time when many of the building construction projects in our area have been put on hold, or gone into receivership or bankruptcy? It would be fiscally responsible for the city to reconsider whether this project is absolutely necessary and makes sense to start at this time. Is forecasted growth at the same level as it was when this project was originally proposed? If not, what will be the revised sanitary lift station needs of the community? Will the community absolutely benefit from this project as is or could there be a revision that could potentially save millions of tax dollars? As economic conditions and growth projections change, so much change the plans of our municipalities.

We moved to this neighborhood just under 3 years ago from the Issaquah, Klahanie neighborhood. We choose to move here for the larger lot sizes, esthetically pleasing surroundings, location to the greater eastside area and what we found to be an amazingly quiet and low traffic neighborhood. We thought to ourselves that this would be an wonderful place to raise our new family (we have 2 small children ages 2 & 3). However, although we do love the neighborhood, in the short time that we have been here we have endured 3 construction projects that have made life, needless to say, much less enjoyable. These are as follows: a) the Bob Holmes mess (new home sites/retention pond construction behind our neighborhood) in which their trucks constantly were up and down our streets, b) the tear up of 148th street to make some underground connections to a new home site on 148th that has yet to be finished and is an eye soar and c) the Coal Creek Parkway shut down which has been ongoing for over a year and diverting enormous amounts of traffic down 148th (our entrance & exit). Now this in our neighborhood once more with all of the noise, nuisance, equipment, worker's vehicles and additional traffic in a neighborhood full of children. We fail to see how you have addressed our interest in your planning. We do not support this project and believe it is misplaced at best. We are very unhappy taxpayers & registered voters.

Although, in the neighborhood streets, approximately 100 to 150 feet is anticipated to be closed at one time. Then they will open up the next 100 to 150 feet. Near your address an 8-inch pipe will be placed in the right-of-way approximately 3-feet deep, depending on local utility lines. -"Is there a hearing or more information you can give us?" The City's Utilities Systems Division will be holding a neighborhood meeting for the Summerwind Home Owners Association on Thursday, May 21. This meeting is intend to explain the project to the residents and let people know what to expect during construction.

Vanessa Dolbee Associate Planner City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development 1055 South Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 (425)430-7314 From: Mike and Mary Haynes [mailto:kuddlebug@comcast.net] Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 09:22 AM To: Vanessa Dolbee Subject: Sewer system Dear Vanessa, We received a notice of a sewer system that is supposed to be going thru our road NE 20th ST. What will this entail.. Will there be closures/ Cut to 1 lane??? We are the only road into Summerwind development and have been dealing with the Duvall road closure since last Summer. I am thru with Construction and absolutely object to anymore inconvenience. We have had enough road closure to last for the next 10 years. Is there a hearing or more information you can give us?

Development Planning Section H:\CED\Data\Forms-Templates\Self-Help Handouts\Planning\waiver.xls 02/12/2009 Project Narrative Stonegate Lift Station Replacement The project proposes to install approximately 1,000 linear feet of 12 and 15-inch sanitary sewer within the rights-of-way of NE Sunset Blvd, approximately 4,900 linear feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer force main in the rights-of-way of NE 26'h St, Lyons Ave NE, NE 22"d Ct, N 20 1h St and Field Ave NE. The project also proposes to construct a sanitary sewer lift station on Tract H in the plat of Stonegate to replace the existing lift station. The purpose of the project is to abandon the existing Summerwind sanitary sewer lift station and install a section of gravity sewer main to allow sewage to flow to the proposed Stonegate Lift Station replacement. The existing Stonegate Lift Station will be replaced by a new Stonegate Lift Station that is capable of providing sanitary sewer service to the entire area at full build-out. When completed, the proposed Stonegate Lift Station will add one above ground buildings (20'xl2') and one emergency generator. The remainder of the Lift Station will be below ground level. The project will be within existing right-of-ways and easements that will be adjacent to single family residential neighborhoods. All roadways within the Stonegate plat and NE 201h St and Field Ave NE within the Summerwind plat will receive full overlays. The proposed lift station will be located on the same property as the existing lift station. This property is an open-space tract within the Stonegate plat. This site and the surrounding properties are zoned R-1. The proposed project is estimated to cost $2.5 million. DEVELOPMENT PLANNING CITY OF RENTON APR 21 2009 RECEIVED Construction Mitigation Stonegate Lift Station Replacement oEV~'t,~We~irlNG ~PR 2 \ 2009 RECE\"EO The proposed project is planned to begin construction in July, 2009 with completion scheduled for April 2010. All work will be performed during the regular working hours of7 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday.

Box 2691 Renton, WA 98059 Public Works Department Gregg Zimmerman P.E., Administrator -..----·----------------------- SUBJECT: EASEMENT ACQUISITION ON TRACT H STONEGATE LIFT STATION REPLACEMENT Dear Stonegate HOA: The City of Renton is interested in obtaining two easements from the Stonegate HOA within Tract H that allows us to reconstruct a new sewage lift station. Attached please find the easement documents along with the City's agreed upon conditions for the easements. If this is acceptable to the HOA, please execute and return the easement documents for recording by the City. Per our recent meeting on this subject, we are aware that the HOA is working on potential amendments and/or slight alterations to these documents. Since the City needs to move forward with our project, we can only allow 30 days from the date of this letter to finalize any such changes. If we cannot come to an agreement by that time, the City will be required to proceed with a revised design for the new station that is constructed within the existing right-of-way and easements currently owned by the City. While certainly not our preferred option, we are at a point where we need to move forward to assure that we have a facility in place to handle the anticipated flows coming to this facility. We have greatly appreciated the efforts of the Stonegate HOA as we have worked through issues the neighborhood will have as we move forward with this project. It is my sincere hope that we are able to come to a satisfactory agreement related to those issues in time to allow for the City to continue to proceed with our preferred option within the new easement area. As such, please provide me with any potential amendments as soon as possible so that we can finalize this acquisition. Please contact me at 425.430.7212 or dchristen@rentonwa.gov . .. ----. ,.--··! ;·1 s. i.1J.oeieJy, A· ·/; 1 / ,/ / .... ., ,/ -/~i / g_..,· / Yi~ vrcf .. ~hrisi'en .. -- ~aerte · niiy Supervisor Attachments ------_H:\File Sy_s\WWP •.
