Consequently, any comments submitted after the close of the verbal portion of the hearing are limited to the project revisions submitted by the Applicant during the hearing. Staff comments may extend beyond parking to the extent that the Applicant's revisions extended beyond parking. Given this clarification I'll give Ms. DDlbee until 5:00 pm, 2/26/13 to identify which of her 2/14/13 comments were responsive to the project revisions submitted by the Applicant during the verbal.portion of the hearing, The Applicant will have until 2/28/13, 5:00 pm to respond to Ms. Dolbee and Ms. Doblee shall have until 3/1/13, 5:00 pm to reply.

We met with City staff today and received some further clarification to some of our questions which was helpful. We would like to formally request at most three additional weeks from Friday, so the 15th of March. One of our lead consultants will be gone all next week, our land use attorney is out until the 26th and we are awaiting some additional information from an outside agency. One point of clarification that may be helpful for us is if you could pinpoint what elements of the hearing are currently left open for further comment and discussion. In our mind the hearing was left open in regards to parking only. However as I mentioned in my previous letter, staff is now revising its recommendation and provided several comments regarding density, building design and impacts to neighboring property owners. Can you please go back to the record and clarify this for the parties.

If the Applicant intended its 2/28/13 letter to serve as its final response to the merits of the 2/14/13 staff letter, please advise so that I may commence preparing the final decision.

I left the record open to allow staff to respond to the Applicant's revisions made in response to staff concerns regarding parking. Consequently, any comments submitted afterthe close of the verbal portion of the hearing are limited to the project revisions submitted by the Applicant during the hearing. Staff comments may extend beyond parking to the extent that the Applicant's revisions extended beyond parking. Given this clarification I'll give Ms. Dolbee until 5;00 pm, 2/26/13 to identify which of her 2/14/13 comments were responsive to the project revisions submitted by the Applicant during the verbal portion of the hearing.

One point of clarification that may be helpful for us is if you could pinpoint what elements of the hearing are currently left open for further comment and discussion. In our mind the hearing was left open in regards to parking only. However as I mentioned in my previous letter, staff is now revising its recommendation and provided several comments regarding density, building design and impacts to neighboring property owners.

Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 425-430-6502 VIA ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION & REGULAR MAIL February 28, 2013 Phil Olbrechts Hearing Examiner c/o Olbrechts and Associates 18833 NE 74th Street Granite Falls, WA 98252 MY OFIRENTON FEB 2 8 2013 RECEIVED CITY CLERICS OFFICE AaAd 6W Ne, -ed SUBJECT: Applicants Response to City Staff's Clarification Letter to Hearing Examiner dated February 26, 2013 ("Staff Clarification Letter") and City Staff's Letter to Hearing Examiner dated February 14, 2013 ("Staff Letter") Public Hearing - Fieldbrook Commons / LUA12-001, ECF, PPUD ("Public Hearing") Dear Mr. Hearing Examiner: This letter is in response to the Staff Clarification Letter and the Staff Letter referenced above relative to Exhibit 22 entitled "Open Space/Recreation Public Benefit Diagram", as presented at the Public Hearing. To avoid confusion, Applicant is responding by point to the Staff Letter and shall incorporate the Clarification comments made in the Staff Clarification Letter if said comments presented additional information which require a response. Staff Letter Page 1, Paragraph 2, Findinas: 1. Open Space.— Arithmetic Mistake. Acknowledged. The open space for the project under its original application has been recalculated and the correct area of total designed open space is 113,172 square feet. This is 15,872 square feet( 14%) above the required open space; 2. Open Space — Exhibit 22 —Reduction of 1,020 SF Acknowledged; 3. Open Space — Exhibit 22 - Staff Non Supportive of Open Space Reduction in Areas 18 and 19 -- The square footage in Area 19, as stated on Exhibit 22 was in error; no reduction in open space occurred. The reduction in Area 18 was the direct result of Applicant's compliance with Condition #12 and not the result of Applicant's attempt at compliance with the reduction of surface parking "presence". See objection to Condition #32 below; 4. Bonus Density Criteria —Parking Stalls and Intervening Landscaping -Acknowledged. 9675 SE 86th St, Suite 105 Phone 206 -SSS -1147 Mercer Island, WA 98040 Fax 206-588-0954 Page 2, Paragraph 1: Exhibit 22 does not accomplish the goal identified in the original recommendation to the Hearing Examiner which states "that staff only recommends approval of the bonus density to IS du/ac if the surface parking lot presence can be reduced and at the some time the square footage and configuration of the open space remains as proposed." The Applicant explained at the Public Hearing and still maintains its position that the Open Space/Recreation Public Benefit Diagram (Exhibit 22) was merely a first attempt at "conceptually" showing compliance with Staff's recommendation relative to open space and parking stalls. Exhibit 22 was not meant to be a substitution for the PUD under review as it did not comply with a number of the Conditions in the Staff Report, nor was it meant to be reviewed by City Staff as such. The Applicant acknowledges it must submit a site plan for final PUD approval which complies with the Conditions set forth in the Hearing Examiner's Decision. Of Staffs original 30 recommendations to the Hearing Examiner, Condition #2-6, #8- 11, and #13-30 state an updated or revised site plan shall be provided for review and approval by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to final PUD approval. Thus, there will be a revised site plan submitted by Applicant to City Staff showing compliance with the Conditions. The revised site plan would include the reduction of the surface parking "presence", although the Applicant notes no specific code section was cited nor guideline provided to Applicant to conform with aside from Condition 411 and #15 which relate to parking lot landscaping. Staff has indicated and the Applicant has agreed to a reduction down to 200 parking stalls based on a unit count of 162 units. However, the Applicant would prefer to maintain as many stalls as possible while complying with the Conditions of Approval as set forth. It is our assumption that this reduction in surface stalls and the compliance with Condition #11, #15 and #28 will meet the reduced parking presence that Staff is requesting and that the Applicant shall modify its design as necessary to comply with said Conditions. Page 2, Paragraph 2: Staff recommends Bonus Density be reduced to 16 dufacre—Parking/Open Space: The Applicant asserts that a reduction in the number of units does not necessarily correlate to a direct significant improVement to the surface parking presence and open space for the project as a whole which Staff has asserted by recommending a reduction to 16 du/acre. The Applicant would ask the Hearing Examiner to acknowledge that if the Applicant had to reducethe number of parking stalls below 200 to maintain the overall open space square footage and configuration for the project, but met the bonus density criteria of RMC 4-9-065(d) which allows up to 4 additional units per net acre if the bonus criteria are met, then the Applicant should only have to reduce the density incrementally to come into compliance with the parking requirement. In other words, the Applicant may need to decrease the project density, for example, to 17.5 du/ac to be in compliance with the parking requirement but should not be forced to decrease to 16 du/ac as Staff is asserting. W Page 2, Paragraph 2: continued Staff recommends Son us Density reduction to 16 du/acre — New Condition #33IBuilding Height: The Applicant strongly objects to the introduction of Condition #33. There is no nexus between building height and bonus density. A reduction of the number of units would directly result in a reduction of the number of parking stalls required. However, this reduction in units could come from any building and/or any location within a building, i.e., end units of a building. As the Applicant stated at the Public Hearing, the buildings were all sited well in excess of the required setbacks when adjacent to single-family developments. In addition, Applicant agrees with Staffs Conclusion #4, page 35 of the Staff Report, that "the project would not be detrimental to the surrounding property owners, if al! Conditions of Approval are met." The additional heights allow for fewer buildings on the overall site thereby allowing for greater open space and hence greater public benefit to not only the future project residents but the surrounding community as a whole. As to the heights of Buildings G, H, J, K, L, M and N and impacts to the surrounding single-family developments, Applicant's response is as follows: • Buildings G and H are below the 30 foot height limit for the zone. • The building pad for Building J is at elevation 426.25 feet with our current grading concept. The base of the large stand of trees to the south of Building J being retained as a buffer to neighboring properties are at elevations 434 feet and 436 feet and are 65-100 feet tall. Additionally, the stand of trees to the southwest of Building J are at elevation 426 feet and are 50-70 feet tall. Both of these stands, as well as the additional landscape trees shown on SEPA Exhibit 11(L-2), will serve to buffer this building from the neighbors to the south. • The neighbor to the northeast of Building K previously stated her concern with the size of Buildings K and L at the Public Hearing. With regard to the height of the building as it affects her house, Building K is 105 feet at the closest point to her true property line with her house being set back an additional 20 feet from the property line. A portion of Building K and most of L will be significantly screened by the existing wetland buffer canopy. The distance of her home from the buildings, as well as fencing proposed along the common property line, will diminish the height and scale of the buildings. • Building M is located 85 feet to the west of the nearest single family property. Significant perimeter and parking lot landscaping, as well as the distance from the common property line will greatly diminish the scale of the Building M. • The neighbor to the south of Building N asked at the hearing about the scale of buildings as seen from his home. Building N is a distance of 80 feet from the common property line. This distance, along with the perimeter landscape buffer we will be providing will diminish the scale of the building. 3 Page 3, Paragraph 1: New Condition #32 — Tandem Parking shall not be permitted in the alleyway between Buildings A and B. The Applicant strongly objects to the addition of Condition #32 because: (1) it is in direct conflict with existing Condition #12; and (2) the Condition is unduly burdensome to the Applicant's best efforts to insure suitable parking for the residents in Buildings A and B as it removes six (6) stalls from the immediate area. The reduction in open space in Area 18, as addressed previously, is the result of Applicant's compliance with Condition 412 and not the result of Applicant's attempt at compliance with the surface parking presence. Furthermore, the Applicant does not believe the reduction in open space in Area 18 is a significant alteration to the configuration of the project's open space if the overall open space square footage for the project remains unchanged_ The Applicant notes Condition #12 of the Staff Report states: "AFI drive aisle widths shatl meet the minimum width standards required by the Renton Municipal Code." Furthermore, the Staff Report (pg. 19) under Adequacy states that in the location between Buildings A and B, the aisle is required to be 24 feet to allow adequate back -out space. Neither Condition #12 nor the Staff Report narrative infers that this requirement is subject to preserving open space. Building B must be moved 12 additional feet to the west to accommodate the 24 foot width requirement. The open space in Area 18 will need to decrease with this shift, however the open space_ in Area 16 (on the west side of Building B) would increase. In closing, the Applicant apologizes if the intent of Exhibit 22 was not clearly stated at the Public Hearing and for any confusion this has caused the Staff and the Hearing Examiner. Based upon Applicant's responses herein, the Applicant requests the Hearing Examiner find the following: . 1. Approve Staff's original Recommendation to the Hearing Examiner and the approval of the bonus density up to 18 du/acre if the surface parking lot presence can be reduced and at the same time the square footage and configuration of open space remains as proposed. Applicant shall be afforded every opportunity to comply with the final Conditions of Approval as set forth by the Hearing Examiner's Decision; and 2. Deny the introduction of Conditions #32 and #33 by Staff based upon Applicant's objections contained herein. With regard to Ms. Kittrick's February 15, 2013 submission of the Carr Road / Benson Road intersection Exhibit, the Applicant does not object to the entering the Exhibit only to the extent that it corroborates her testimony at the Public Hearing that the Applicant was only required to provide a limited scope traffic impact analysis due the pending intersection improvements under the TIP #10 Project.

LUA11-101, MOD) MINOR MODIFICATION OF APPROVED SITE PLAN Dear Mr. Medrud, I am in receipt of your correspondence and attachments wherein you requested revisions to the approved Site Plan for the Early Childhood Learning Center. Minor Modification Request of Approved Site Plan The requested revisions are summarized below and shown in Exhibit A: 1) Increase the size of the inclusive playground from 20,000 square feet to 29,224 square feet. Renton Municipal Code Section 4-9-2001, allows minor adjustments to an approved site plan, provided: 1. The adjustment does not involve more than a ten percent (10%) increase in area or scale of the development in the approved site plan; or 2. The adjustment does not have a significantly greater impact on the environment and facilities than the approved plan; or 3. The adjustment does not change the boundaries of the originally approved plan. Analysis of Request The site plan modification requested and as shown in your submittals have been compared to the site plan as approved by the City on March 20, 2012 (LUA11-101). The subject site encompasses the northwest, southwest, and southeast quadrants of the block bordered by Index Ave NE, Harrington Ave NE, and NE 16`h St. The 7.67 acre site is located within the Residential -14 (R-14) zoning designation. The applicant received land use approval in order to demolish the canopy structure located next to the exisitng structure, and remove the double portables onsite, and the construction of a new Early Childhood Learning Center. The existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center is proposed to be removed following construction of the new Early Childhood Learning Center. The approved structure would support the Renton School Renton City Hall - 1055 South Grady Way - Renton, Washington 98057 - rentonwa.gov July 13, 2012 Page 2 District's educational programs, including the Integrated Preschool program, Head Start and Early Childhood Education and Assistance programs. Access to the site would be provided via a new ingress/egress point to access parking and the drop-off area and a separate ingress/egress bus parking pull -though is proposed along Harrington Ave NE. Additionally, the approval included another vehicle ingress/egress point along Index Ave NE with a second bus parking and turn -around ingress/egress point from NE 16`h St. There would be 10 bus loading spaces accessed by NE 16`h St and 9 bus loading spaces accessed by Harrington Ave NE. As part of the original approval the applicant proposed the construction of a 20,000 square foot inclusive playground facility which would occupy a portion of the of the southeast Early Childhood Learning Center site and extend into the western portion of the adjacent North Highlands Community Center site. The applicant has revised the proposal to increase the size of the inclusive playground to 29,224 square feet. The proposed changes would not result in more than a 10 percent increase in area or scale of the development. The proposal would not have a greater impact on the environment and facilities, nor would it change the boundaries of the originally approved site plan. All other applicable setback, development and design standards would continue to be achieved. Decision Based on staffs analysis, I have determined the proposed revisions are within the parameters defined by the Renton Municipal Code. Therefore, the proposed modifications to the site pian are approved subject to the following conditions: 1, Prior to the issuance of the building permit, an 8 %Z x 11 inch photo reduction of a final site plan, approved landscape plan, building elevations, shall be submitted to the Current Planning Project Manager. Appeal Process: This administrative land use decision will become final if not appealed in writing to the Hearing Examiner on or before 5:00 p.m. on July 27, 2012. Appeals to the Examiner are governed by City of Denton Municipal Code Section 4-8-110. Additional information regarding the appeal process may be obtained from the Renton City Clerks' Office, (425) 430-6510. Appeals must be filed in writing, together with the $250 appeal fee to: Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057.

The City of Renton zoning designation of all the adjacent properties is Residential 14 DU/AC (R-14). • Current use of the site and any existing improvements The current and proposed use of the site is a K-12 public school district educational facility. The current use of the western portion of the NHCC is a playground and the proposed use will be the inclusive playground facility. • Special site features (i.e. wetlands, water bodies, steep slopes) None. Statement addressing soil type and drainage conditions See the Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report prepared by Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. on November 18, 2010 and their Summary of Additional Borings in Planned Playground Area dated November 9, 2011, for information on the soil types on the site. Using the Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. analysis, a storm drainage plan will be prepared in accordance with the City of Renton requirements. The site will be graded to drain to a storm catch basin or directly into a storm water Swale or rain garden. The catch basins, Swale, and rain gardens will connect to an underground infiltration system that will allow the water to infiltrate into the site soils. Runoff from pollution generating surfaces will be treated by the Swale or rain gardens prior to infiltration. Runoff from the roof will be tightlined directly to the infiltration systems. • Proposed use of the property and scope of the proposed development The School District is proposing the Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) as a project action that is consistent with and contemplated by the District's Capital Facilities Plan. The proposal involves the demolition of the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center and associated outbuildings, relocation of three double classroom portables off-site, removal of existing site improvements, and the construction of the new ECLC. The existing site occupies two parcels that are in the process of being combined into one parcel. The total site and project work area is 321,953 334.177 square feet (7-.46 7.67 acres) with the addition of Project Memo Page 2 of S Early Childhood Learning Center 210614.30 May 29, 2012 approximately 20,806 29.224 square feet (6:46 0.67 acres) of the NHCC for the inclusive playground facility. The existing use is a K-12 public school district educational facility and this use will remain unchanged. The new building will include the Early Childhood/Special Education Preschool program, Head Start and the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP). In addition to twenty-two classrooms with associated workrooms and storage areas arranged into three separate wings, the new building will include a multipurpose room, as well as a kitchen, conference rooms, maintenance rooms, and support offices. There will be approximately 450 students and approximately 75 staff in the new facility. The existing one-story masonry school building has a gross area of 38,588 square feet, not including the three double classroom portables behind the building. There are approximately 58 parking spaces existing on the site. The new building will have a gross area of approximately 68,752 square feet with a total approximate gross area of 71,645 square feet if the alternate is constructed. The alternate consists of two adult classrooms with separate hallway access. There will be approximately 93 parking stalls accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Index Avenue Northeast and Harrington Avenue Northeast and 10 bus loading spaces accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Northeast 16th Street and 9 bus loading spaces accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Harrington Avenue Northeast. The proposed project will provide 10 bicycle parking spaces, which is equal to ten percent of the number of required off-street parking spaces. The first part of the project will involve the removal of the double classroom portables, the demolition of the play shed and removal of all site improvements in the eastern portion of the site. During the first part of the project, the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center will remain in use until the new SCLC building is constructed on the eastern portion of the site and is ready to be occupied. During the second part of the construction, the old building will be demolished and the site improvements will be completed on the western portion of the site. The thirty-seven parking spaces located west of the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center are expected to remain in use until the original building is torn down. The School District will work to ensure that construction impacts are minimized for the students using the facility during construction. In cooperation with the City of Renton, the Renton School District will construct an inclusive playground facility that will occupy a portion of the southeast ECLC project site and extend into the western portion of the adjacent NHCC. The intent would be to bid and build the inclusive playground as a separate project for cost efficiencies. The party's rights and responsibilities with respect to the inclusive playground will be established by an interlocal agreement. • For plats indicate the proposed number, net density and range of sizes (net lot area) of the new lots Not applicable to this application. Project Memo Page 3 of 5 Early Childhood Learning Center 210614.30 May 29, 2012 13al D • Access The school is currently accessed by three separate driveways. Current access points include a one-way ingress from Northeast 16th Street and a one-way egress on to Harrington Avenue Northeast as well as a separate ingress/egress service entrance from Harrington Avenue Northeast. All of these entrances and exits will be removed as part of the ECLC project and replaced with new driveways, drop-off areas and parking areas. At full project completion, the ECLC will provide one vehicle ingress/egress point to access parking and a drop-off area and a separate ingress and egress bus parking pull-through driveway on Harrington Avenue Northeast. Additionally, the project will provide another vehicle ingress/egress point along Index Avenue Northeast with a second bus parking and turn around ingress/egress point from Northeast 16th Street. • Proposed off-site improvements (i.e. installation of sidewalks, fire hydrants, sewer main, etc.) Off-site improvements will be provided where required and these may include: o Driveway apron o Curb and gutter o Sidewalks o Roadway pavement patching o Landscape and trees o Utilities - water, sewer, and storm drainage o Utilities - telephone, data, cable, electricity, and natural gas • Total estimated construction cost and estimated fair market value of the proposed project The current estimated construction cost for the project is $18,500,000 million. The fair market value is assumed equal to the estimated construction cost. • Estimated quantities and type of materials involved if any fill or excavation is proposed Grading will be required to prepare the site for the proposed improvements. Fill will be necessary to support the proposed pavement, building and to augment previously placed fill. Based upon the current site plan, it is anticipated that the project will need approximately 5,100 cubic yards of fill, The contractor for the project will be required to obtain the fill from an approved source. • Number, type and size of any trees to be removed No trees on site will be removed. Five trees along Harrington Avenue Northeast will be removed within the right-of-way. These will be replaced in accordance with City of Renton requirements. Project Memo Page 4 of 5 Early Childhood Leaming Center 210614.30 May 29, 2012 _ LM ro a 1=138 8 W0 FO a 0 Explanation of any land to be dedicated to the City No land will be dedicated to the City. There may be easements granted for utility access. • Any proposed job shacks, sales trailers, and/or model homes There will be several temporary job shacks on the site. Any proposed modifications being requested (include written justification) The project will comply with the City's standards for frontage improvements along Harrington Avenue Northeast and Northeast 16th Street as set out in RMC 4-6-030 - Street Standards. After careful evaluation, the School District will be filing for an documented exemption from the City's Complete Streets requirements as outlined in RMC 4-6-030(G)(2) for street frontage improvements along Index Avenue Northeast. This is due to the potential damage, which could occur to the four large existing trees located adjacent to the Index Avenue Northeast right-of-way. As encouraged in the City's landscape and design standards, the School District wishes to retain these prominent mature trees as part of the new project. For projects located within 100 feet of a stream or wetland, please include: Distance in feet from the wetland or stream to the nearest area of work Not Applicable. For projects located within 200 -feet of Black River, Cedar River, Springbrook Creek, May Creek and Lake Washington please include the following additional information: • Distance from closest area of work to the ordinary high water mark.

The conditional use permit and site plan are approved with conditions. The lot line adjustment is denied without prejudice because the record contains no information on the proposed adjustment. The lot line adjustment can be processed administratively by City staff. The conditional use and site plan applications are for a school building up to 71,645 square feet in area. The building will be composed of 22 classrooms, associated work rooms, storage areas and indoor play areas arranged in three separate wings. The building would also contain a multi-purpose room, kitchen, conference rooms, maintenance rooms and support office. The facility would serve 450 students and accommodate 75 staff. An existing 38,590 square foot school building and associated outbuildings will be demolished and three associated portable classrooms will be removed. The new building will exceed the area of current school facilities by 30,164 to 33,057 square feet. Testimony Rocale Timmons, associate planner, stated the proposed building site is bordered by Index Ave NE and NE 16th St in Renton's Highland Sub area. She testified that the site is approximately 7.22 acres CONDITIONAL USE, SITE PLAN LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, STREET WAIVER - 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 and is located within the Center Village Comprehensive Plan designation (zoned R- 14). She added that the surrounding area uses include single-family residential and multi -family residential east of the site. The existing use of the site is the Hillcrest Early Child Learning Center; this site would be demolished following construction of the new facility. In regard to the construction of parking facilities, she noted that the Applicant is proposing 93 vehicular parking stalls, 19 bus loading areas, and a joint -use playground located on the southern portion of the site. Ms. Timmons stated that the Applicant is proposing construction to begin in the spring of 2012 and be completed by Fall of 2013 In regard to access to the site, the Applicant is proposing a new curb - cut along Harrington Ave NE to reach parking (the western most curb cut), two eastern curb cuts on Harrington Ave for buses, and a second bus parking and turnaround would be located along NE 161` St, according to her. In terms of the structure, she said the height of the building would be 30 ft. and the gross area would be 71645 sq. ft. She stated that the Renton School District took lead for the SEPA review. On January 13, 2012, according to her, a determination of non -significance mitigated was reached which included 14 mitigation measures related to parks, traffic, fire impact fees, etc. There was a 14 -day appeal period which commenced on January 16 and ended on January 30; no public or agency comments were received, she added. She testified that staff recommends a condition of approval that the Applicant meet all 14 mitigation measures issued in the SEPA review. According to Ms. Timmons, the Applicant is applying for site -plan review. She remarked that staff found that the proposal is compliant with both the Comprehensive Plan Land Use policies and Community Design policies. She added that the proposal is also compliant with all relevant zoning regulations. In addition, she stated that the proposal is located within the Sunset Planned Action Area and meets the criteria as outlined in ordinance 5610. In regard to on-site and off-site impacts, she said the building structure is largely located in the western portion of the site, and vehicles and buses are separated from pedestrian zones in order to reduce congestion and hazards. Drop-off sites are located on-site which reduces congestion on surrounding sites, she noted. She testified that landscaping has been well thought-out and will screen the loading areas. She further stated that common spaces are provided for school -use during the day (marked on exhibit 2). She testified that the Applicant is proposing a joint -use play area which would be shared with the North Highlands Community Center. This facility would be located on the southern portion of the site, according to her, and staff recommends as a condition of approval that the school district formalize a memorandum of understanding which provides for cost-sharing and operation of the playground. She commented that there are no large or attractive, natural features on the site. The increased setbacks of the proposed building will minimize the aesthetic impacts from neighboring properties with exception to the property to the east, according to her. However, she noted the Applicant is proposing a 10 ft. landscape buffer along the property line to the east to protect the aesthetics. In regard to the building structure, Ms. Timmons testified that staff felt the Applicant has achieved a reduction in the scale and bulk of the facility via building materials, articulation and modulation, and differing roof profiles. In regard to public services, she said that staff found that there are sufficient fire resources, and the Applicant would be required to install appropriate water and sewer lines improvements in order to serve the proposal. The proposal is required to comply with the 2009 King CONDITIONAL USE, SITE PLAN LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, STREET WAIVER - 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 County Surface Water Management Design Manual, thus a proposal was submitted with the application that complies with this design manual, according to her. In regard to streets, Ms. Timmons stated that the front streets are non -arterial, residential access streets. She added that staff has recommended, as a condition of approval, that the Applicant comply with conditions outlined in the Street Modification issued on February 3rd. She commented that the existing planting strip along Harrington Ave NE may remain unchanged for the project, despite not meeting the required 8 ft. length. In regard to Index Ave, she remarked that the Modification recommends Ieaving the existing pavement section unchanged with no new gutter section as required; however, staff asks for an additional drive -way dedication of 4 ft. for possible future improvements. The sidewalk is also required to be meandering in order to protect existing trees along the street, according to her. She added that no modification was granted for NE Wh St, thus new gutter sections and a 5 ft. sidewalk are required. Ms. Timmons noted that staff also reviewed the CUP criteria for their report. She remarked that the subject site is adjacent to residential areas on all sides with the exception of the North Highlands Community Center; however, the leaming facility is a long-standing use at this site and hasn't created a negative impact up until this point. She testified that impacts caused by congestion and increased parking on adjacent streets would be largely mitigated with the new proposed parking and loading areas. She stated that staff expects the most significant impacts would be during the construction period. However, according to her, the Applicant has submitted a construction mitigation plan which provides measures to reduce construction impacts. Ms. Timmons concluded that staff is recommending approval of the Early Childhood Development Center as it is depicted in Exhibit 2. Upon questioning by the hearing examiner, Ms. Timmons testified that there is a small playfield included within the design of the project (located at the north -end of the project along Harrington Ave NE). She commented that there is also a small joint -use play area that the city and district will be building together. She noted that the existing facility is located close to Index Ave (depicted in Exhibit 9). Thus, according to her, the main reason the proposed building is being sited further back is to accommodate the existing building during construction. She said that the new facility will be largely located in the existing open space area. She testified that staff was unaware if there would be a shortage of parking while both buildings were standing. Brad Medrud, AHBL Inc. and Applicant's representative, noted that there has been a high level of coordination required to complete this project. The Applicant has no issue with the staff report. On page 6 of the report, he testified that additional information regarding recycling is requested before the issuance of a building permit. He noted that this information has been prepared as part of the full submittal package. On page 9 of the staff report, he acknowledged that a request is made for the Applicant to show a 12-ineh extension of water -sewer lines. Ile noted that the Applicant is currently showing this extension on their plans and will submit them as part of their submittal package. In terms of the conditions of approval, he commented that the Applicant has no issue with the SEPA conditions. For the approved street modifications, he noted that the Applicant had submitted a written request to the public works department and has no issue with the final decision.

The current uses of the existing building do not require the large open space in the back of the site because they mainly involve Pre -K children who must be closely monitored. He testified that the open areas depicted in exhibit 2 are uncovered, but are enclosed for recreation in order to provide a controlled space. He added that the joint - playground space on 16th NE is also for recreation. The reason a larger recreational area does not exist is because much more space was needed for parking facilities in order to accommodate changes to how parents drop-off students and provide adequate safety. He said the Applicant made the effort to ensure parking and drop-off occurred on the site and not the city's streets. In regard to parking during construction, as part of the first phase of the project, Mr. Medrud testified that a new facility will be built on the existing playfields. According to him, once the new building is finished, the existing building will be demolished and more parking will be added (phase 2). He commented that the parking area that exists now (darker grey, 1 -shape on Exhibit 2) will remain to support the existing facility. Some parking will be lost behind the building, but the lot that remains will be sufficient. Additionally, the city and district are looking into off-site parking for construction personnel. Upon questioning by the hearing examiner, he stated that no lighting is proposed for the facility outside of school hours. He added that the property line between the site and the housing authority is currently a chain-link fence, and the Applicant is planning large amounts of landscape that doesn't exist at present. He stated that he does not anticipate the recreational space to be used by the community during off -school hours. In rebuttal, Ms. Timmons noted that the Applicant would be required to make sure all lighting produces no glare and would include shielding. Mr. Medrud noted that lighting is dealt with in the SEPA mitigation conditions. Exhibits The February 23, 2012 staff report Exhibits 1-9 identified at pat 2 of the staff report itself were admitted into the record during the hearing. In addition, Renton Ordinance No. 5610 was admitted as Ex. 10. FINDINGS OF FACT Procedural: 1. Applicant. Renton School District. CONDITIONAL USE, SITE PLAN LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, STREET WAIVER - 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 2. Hearing. The Examiner held a hearing on the subject application on March 1, 2012 at 1:00 pm in the City of Renton Council Chambers. 3, Project Description. The Renton School District has applied for a conditional use permit, site plan approval, lot line adjustment and street waiver. The conditional use and site plan applications are for a school building up to 71,645 square feet in area. The building will be composed of 22 classrooms, associated work rooms, storage areas and indoor play areas arranged in three separate wings. The building would also contain a multi-purpose room, kitchen, conference rooms, maintenance rooms and support office. The proposal also includes the construction of an inclusive playground facility in cooperation with the City of Renton that will include 20,000 square feet of the North Highlands Community Center. The facility would serve 450 students and accommodate 75 staff. The facility would support the District's educational programs, including the Integrated Preschool program, Head Start and Early Childhood Education and Assistance programs. The site currently contains the Hillcrest Early Childhood Center. The one-story structure is approximately 38,590 square feet in area. There are also three portable classrooms on site, parking 58 parking spaces and a canopy structure. The canopy structure and building will be demolished and the portables will be moved off-site. The 38,590 square foot building will not be demolished until the proposed new building will be completed. The canopy building and portable classrooms will be removed prior to completion of the new building. The new facilities represent an increase of 30,164 to 33,057 square feet in building area over existing facilities. The project description and the project number reference a lot combination as part of the application. There is nothing in the administrative record that provides any information on the proposed lot combination. There is no parcel map that identifies what lots compose the project site and no information on what lots are proposed to be combined. It appears that the lot combination may be used to add property from the adjoining North Highlands Community Center as described in the MDNS for the proposed playground area, but there is no information in the record to confirm this supposition. Impacts of the project have been addressed in a planned action ordinance for the Sunset Area, Renton Ordinance No. 5610. Generally, the impacts of the proposal are within the range of impacts identified in the planned action ordinance. However, some specific impacts have not been addressed by the planned action ordinance so the Applicant acted as lead agency in issuing an MDNS for the project, Ex. 6. 4. Adequacy of Infrastructure/Public Services. infrastructure and public services as follows: CONDITIONAL USE, SITE PLAN LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, STREET WAIVER - 5 The project will be served by adequate 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 24 21 22 23 24 25 26 A. Water and Sewer Service. The site is served by the City of Renton for all water and sewer service. The Fire Marshall has determined that the project will have to be served by adequate fire flow with the addition of a 12 -inch water main extension extending a water main located in NE 16`h to the east to the existing water main in Kirkland Ave NE. The Fire Marshall also determined that the project will need to be served by four fire hydrants, an approved fire sprinkler system and a backflow device. B. Fire and Police. Fire and police department staff have determined that existing facilities are adequate to serve the development. C. Drainap-e. City staff have determined that the conceptual drainage plan complies with the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual, the City's applicable stormwater development standards. The Applicant proposes to grade the project site to drain into catch basins, a swale and/or a rain garden. The catch basins, swale and rain gardens would connect to an underground infiltration system that would allow water to infiltrate into the site soils. D. Parks/Open Space. City development standards do not require any set -asides or mitigation for parks and open space for schools. The project does include limited recreational space for students located in a controlled environment so that the children can be adequately monitored and supervised. The staff report discussion on open space, Finding 14(h) is adopted and incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full. E. Transportation. Off-site traffic impacts are adequately mitigated. Page 15 of the MDNS for the project identifies that the proposal will increase traffic by 310 trips per day. The MDNS further identifies that the Applicant will have to pay a $23,500 traffic impact fee for system improvements necessitated by this increase in traffic. Finding of Fact No. I 1 of the MDNS also determines that the increase in traffic created by the proposal will not exceed the total trip threshold established in the planned action ordinance for the project 5. Adverse Impacts. There are no significant adverse impacts associated with the project. Few adverse impacts are anticipated since there are no critical areas on site, the proposal is a redevelopment of a fully developed parcel and adequate infrastructure serves the site as determined in Finding of Fact No. 4. Impacts are more specifically addressed as follows: A. Aesthetics. According to the staff report, the proposal would not affect view corridors to shorelines and Mount Rainer. The bulk of the facility will slightly increase but aesthetic impacts have been off -set by increases in setbacks and landscaping and there were no public comments expressing any concern over view impacts. As shown in Exhibit 3, landscaping is added to all areas not occupied by buildings, paving, or critical areas and is used to screen loading and parking areas to CONDITIONAL USE, SITE PLAN LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, STREET WAIVER - 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 minimize views from surrounding properties. As noted in the staff report, the landscaping is used to provide transitions between the proposed development and surrounding properties to reduce noise and glare, maintain privacy, and generally enhance the appearance of the project. Given that the mass and scale of the building is well within the bulk and dimensional requirements of the zoning district (impervious surface is limited to 63%, below the 85% allowed in the zone and setbacks range up to 203 feet, exceeding the maximum 10 foot applicable setbacks), aesthetic impacts have to be considered acceptable. B. Lighting. The Applicant testified that the proposal will not involve any after-hours lighting and no lighting will be used for after-hours use of school recreational facilities. It is presumed that the project will include some after-hours security lighting and staff testified that City regulations require lights fixtures to direct light inwards and that light trespass is prohibited. C. Internal Circulation. The project includes several improvements over existing circulation to provide for traffic safety and reduce congestion, including the separation of vehicles from pedestrian zones and buses. Drop off queues will be located on site to reduce congestion on surrounding streets. More detail on internal circulation is outlined at Finding No. 14(g) of the staff report, adopted and incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full. Sidewalks are provided from the street to the entries and around the building in order to provide pedestrian linkages. In addition, pedestrian sidewalks along the new public right-of-way, as well as private pedestrian connections at the perimeter of the property are proposed to provide safe and efficient pedestrian access throughout the site. D. Bicycle Stalls. The project accommodates bicycle use by including ten bicycle stalls as required by RMC 4-4-080(1~)(11). E. Noise. The Applicant has submitted a Construction Mitigation Plan to minimize noise impacts during construction and the City's noise regulations, Chapter 8-7 RMC, sets the legislative standard for noise impacts and will adequately regulation noise when construction is completed. Conclusions of Law Authori . K-12 facilities are allowed in the R-14 district as a conditional use subject to hearing examiner review. RMC 4-8-080(G) classifies conditional use applications as Type III permits when hearing examiner review is required. RMC 4-9-200(B)(2)(a)(i) requires site plan review for all development in the R-14 zones that includes K-12 educational institutions. In the absence of the conditional use permit application, no hearing examiner review would be required for the site plan and it would be classified as a Type II permit by RMC 4-8-080(G). RMC 4-8-080(6) classifies street waivers and lot line adjustments as Type I permits. All four of the aforementioned permits have been consolidated. RMC 4-8-080(C)(2) requires consolidated permits to each be processed under "the highest -number procedure". The conditional use has the highest numbered review procedures, so all four permits must be processed as Type 111 applications. As Type III applications, RMC 4-8-080(G) grants the Examiner with the authority to hold a hearing and issue a final decision on them, subject to closed record appeal to the City Council.

The subject property is zoned Residential 14 dwelling units per net acre (R-14) and the comprehensive plan land use designation is Center Village. 3_ Review Criteria. Conditional use criteria are governed by RMC 4-9-030(D). Site plan review standards are governed by RMC 4-9-200(E)(3). Street modifications are governed by RMC 4-9- 250(C)(5). All applicable criteria are quoted below in italics and applied through corresponding conclusions of law. Conditional Use The Administrator or designee or the Hearing Examiner shall consider, as applicable, the fallowing factors for all applications: RMC 4-9-030(0)(1): Consistency with Plans and Regulations: The proposed use shall be compatible with the general goals, objectives, policies and standards of the Comprehensive Plan, the zoning regulations and any other plan., programs, maps or ordinances of the City of Renton. 4. The proposal is consistent with Objective LU -V and Policy LU -102 and LU -103 as quoted at page 5 of the staff report because as designed and mitigated the project is designed to be compatible with adjoining residential uses and the project includes a joint playground facility. The proposal is consistent with all applicable zoning and other development standards as outlined in Finding 14(a) - (d) of the staff report, adopted and incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full. RMC 4-9-030(C)(2): Appropriate Location: The proposed location shall not result in the detrimental overconcentration of a particular use within the City or within the immediate area of the proposed use. The proposed location shall be suited for the proposed use, 5. The proposal only represents a modest increase in size to the existing facility, which has remained in place and been used as a school facility since the 1950s. The aerial photograph, Exhibit 9, does not reveal any over -concentration of school facilities in the vicinity and school facilities in general are not overly concentrated in the City as a whole given that the schools are designed to only serve the immediate service areas of the Renton School District. Given these factors the criterion is met. RMC 4-9-030(0)(3): Effect on Adjacent Properties: The proposed use at the proposed location shall not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property. 6. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5 there are no adverse impacts associated with the proposal, so it will not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property. RMC 4-9-030(0)(4): Compatibility: The proposed use shall be compatible with the scale and character of the neighborhood CONDITIONAL USE, SITE PLAN LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, STREET WAIVER - 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 7. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5 under the discussion of aesthetic impacts, the proposed use is compatible with the scale and character of the neighborhood since it does not involve any significant adverse aesthetic impacts and significantly exceeds setback and impervious surface requirements. RMC 4-9-030(C)(5): Parking: Adequate parking is, or will be made, available. 8. As determined in Conclusion of Law No. 4, the proposal includes parking that is consistent with applicable parking standards, which sets a legislative standard for adequate parking. RMC 4-9-030(0)($): Traffic: The use shall ensure safe movement far vehicles and pedestrians and shall mitigate potential effects on the surrounding area. 9. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, the project includes several improvements over existing circulation to provide for traffic safety and reduce congestion, including the separation of vehicles from pedestrian zones and buses. Drop off queues will be located on site to reduce congestion on surrounding streets. The criterion is met. RMC 4-9-030(C)(7): Noise, Light and Glare: Potential noise, light and glare impacts from the proposed use shall be evaluated and mitigated. 10. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, noise and light impacts are adequately addressed and mitigated. As to lighting impacts, the Applicant testified that the proposal will not involve any after- hours lighting and no lighting will be used for after-hours use of school recreational facilities. It is presumed that the project will include some after-hours security lighting and staff testified that City regulations require lights to be directed inwards and that light trespass is prohibited. As to noise, the Applicant has submitted a Construction Mitigation Plan to minimize noise impacts during construction and the City's noise regulations, Chapter 8-7 RMC, sets the legislative standard for noise impacts and will adequately regulation noise when construction is completed. RMC 4-9-030(C)(8): Landscaping: Landscaping shall be provided in all areas not occupied by buildings, paving, or critical areas. Additional landscaping may he required to buffer adjacent properties from potentially adverse effects of the proposed use_ 11. The criterion is met for the reasons discussed in Finding of Fact No. 5 under aesthetic impacts. Site Plan RMC 4-9-200(E)(3): Criteria: The Administrator or designee must,find a proposed project to be in compliance with the following: CONDITIONAL USE, SITE PLAN LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, STREET WAIVER - 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 a. Compliance and Consistency: Conformance with plans, policies, regulations and approvals, including.- 4 ncluding: 4 Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan, its elements, goals, objectives, and policies, especially those of the applicable land use designation; the Community Design Element; and any applicable adopted Neighborhood Plan,- ii. lan; ii. Applicable land use regulations; iii. Relevant Planned Action Ordinance and Development Agreements; and iv. Design Regulations: Intent and guidelines of the design regulations located in RMC 4- 3-100. 12. As discussed in Conclusion of Law No. 4, the proposal is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan and development regulations. Design regulations do not apply to the project. The proposal is consistent with and qualifies as a Planned Action Ordinance No. 5610, as outlined at Finding No. 14(d) of the staff report, of which the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law are adopted and incorporated by reference as if set forth in full. RMC 4-9-200(E)(3)(b): Off -Site Impacts: Mitigation of impacts to surrounding properties and uses, including i. Structures: Restricting overscale structures and overconcentration of development on a particular portion of the site; ii. Circulation: Providing desirable transitions and linkages between uses, streets, walkways and adjacent properties; iii. Loading and Storage Areas: Locating, designing and screening storage areas, utilities, rooftop equipment, loading areas, and refuse and recyclables to minimize views from surrounding properties; iv. Views: Recognizing the public benefit and desirability of maintaining visual accessibility to attractive natural features; v. Landscaping: Using landscaping to provide transitions between development and surrounding properties to reduce noise and glare, maintain privacy, and generally enhance the appearance oj'the project; and vi. Lighting: Designing and✓or placing exterior lighting and glazing in order to avoid excessive brightness or glare to adjacent properties and streets. CONDITIONAL USE, SITE PLAN LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, STREET WAIVER - 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 13. The school facility is necessarily concentrated on one portion of the site, but the impacts of this concentration are negligible given the small portion of the site that is occupied by buildings and the large setbacks and significant amount of landscaping that separates the facility from adjoining uses. The facility could not be considered "overscale" considering the relatively small amount of area occupied by buildings. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, lighting and view impacts are adequately mitigated and landscaping is effectively used to protect adjoining properties from noise and glare and to maintain privacy and enhance the appearance of the project. The project will be conditioned to provide for adequate screening of refuse and recyclables and to provide screening from utilities and rooftop structures. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, the project provides screening of loading areas to minimize views from surrounding properties. RMC 4-9-200(E)(3)(c): On -Site Impacts: Mitigation of impacts to the site, including.- i. ncluding: i. Structure Placement: Provisions for privacy and noise reduction by building placement, spacing and orientation; ii. Structure Scale: Consideration of the scale ofproposed structures in relation to natural characteristics, views and vistas, site amenities, sunlight, prevailing winds, and pedestrian and vehicle needs; iii. Natural Features: Protection of the natural landscape by retaining existing vegetation and soils, using topography to reduce undue cutting and filling, and limiting impervious surfaces; and iv. Landscaping: Use of landscaping to soften the appearance ofparking areas, to provide shade and privacy where needed, to define and enhance open spaces, and generally to enhance the appearance of the project. Landscaping also includes the design and protection of planting areas so that they are less susceptible to damage from vehicles or pedestrian movements. 14. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, landscaping has been well designed to provide for privacy and noise reduction. There is nothing in the record to reasonably suggest that the scale, spacing and orientation of the project could be modified to provide for more privacy and noise reduction without unreasonably interfering with the objectives of the facility. The scale of the facility will not create any adverse impacts as discussed and is compatible with vehicle and pedestrian circulation as determined in Finding of Fact No. 5. In addition, there is nothing in the record to reasonably suggest that the scale of the project is incompatible with sunlight, prevailing winds or natural characteristics. Impervious surfaces are significantly less than those authorized by applicable zoning regulations. The comments by staff on this criterion, at Finding No. 14(f), are adopted by this reference and incorporated as if set forth in full.

Ex.7, the staff "decision" on the waiver, doesn't identify why some waivers were granted or assess whether the waivers would be detrimental to public health, safety and welfare. The Examiner certainly agrees with Ex. 7 on the portion of the requested waiver that was denied, i.e. that sidewalks are most needed in proximity to schools and should not be waived. As to those waivers that the staff "approved", they will be deemed justified since the property is already developed and it is presumed that because of this bringing up street improvements to current standards would involve added expense and may not be consistent with surrounding improvements. From the information in the record it can be reasonably inferred that the waivers "approved" by staff will not create any detrimental effect on public health, safety or welfare. For future applications, it is requested that staff express the basis for its determination that the criteria quoted above are met so that the Examiner has more complete information to assess compliance. DECISION As conditioned below, the site plan and conditional use permit are approved. The street waiver request is approved to the extent recommended in Exhibit 7. The proposed lot line adjustment is denied without prejudice and may be re -processed as a Type 1 application. The conditions recommended in Section J of the staff report shall apply to the site plan and conditional use approval with the following added conditions: 1. Staff shall determine whether the proposal shall locate, design and screen storage areas, utilities, rooftop equipment and refuse and recyclables to minimize views from surrounding properties. The Applicant will alter project design as found necessary by staff to meet this condition prior to building permit approval. 2. Prior to building permit approval, the Applicant shall submit for staff approval a refuse and recyclables deposit area as outlined in Finding 14(b) of the staff report.

Olbrechts City of Renton Hearing Examiner Appeal Right and Valuation Notices ' As noted in prior decisions, since the street waiver request is considered consolidated with the other permits of this decision the staffs "approval" of the waiver is treated as a recommendation since the waiver must be processed as a Type III application and staff is required to make a recommendation as opposed to decision in Type III applications.

The District is demolishing all of the e�dsting permanent structures on the entire SCLC project site. The total school site and project work area is 324,953 square feet (7.46 acres) with the addition of approximately 20,000 square feet (0.46 acres) of the NHCC for the inclusive playground facility. The existing use is a K-12 public school district educational facility and this use will remain unchanged. There are no proposed changes to the site beyond what is described below as part of this proposal. (See Environmental Checklist Forth (Checklist), A.11) 2. The ECLC is a project action that is consistent with and contemplated by the District's Capital Facilities Plan. The proposal .requires the demolition of the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center and associated outbuildings, relocation of three double classroom portables off-site, removal of existing site improvements, and the construction of the new ECLC. (See Checklist, A.11) 3. The new building will support the District's educational program , including the Integrated Preschool program, Head Start and the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program). In addition to twenty-two classrooms with associated workrooms, storage areas, and indoor play areas arranged into three separate wings, the new building will have a multipurpose room, as well as a kitchen, conference rooms, maintenance rooms, and support offices. There will be approximately 450 students and approximately 73 staff in the new facility. (See Checklist, A.11) 4. The existing one-story .masonry school building has a gross area of 38,568 square feet, not including the three double classroom portables behind the building. There are approximately 58 packing spaces existing on the site. (See Checklist, A.11) 5. The new building will have a gtnss area of approximately 68,752 square feet with a total approximate gross area of 71,645 square feet if two additional classrooms are constructed. There will be approximately 93 parking stalls accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Index Avenue Northeast and Harrington Avenue Northeast and ten (10) bus loading spaces accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Northeast 16th Street and nixie (9) bus loading spaces accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Harrington Avenue Launching Leaming to Last a Lifetime 7812 South 12e Street, Seattle, Washington 98178-48301 p; 425.204.44031 t. 425204.4476 www.renfonschools.us R� N o 3 Northeast. The proposed project will provide 10 bicycle parking spaces, which is equal to ten percent of the number of required off-street parking spaces. (See Checklist, A.11) 6. The first part of the proposed project requites the removal of the double classroom portables, the demolition of the play shed and removal of all site improvements in the eastern portion of the site.. During the first part of the proposed project, the e-asting Hillcrest Early Childhood Center will remain in use until the new ECLC building is constructed on the eastern portion of the site and is ready to be occupied. (See Checklist, A.11) 7. During the second part of the construction, the old building will be demolished and the remaining site improvements will be completed on the western portion of the site. The thirty-seven parking spaces located west of the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center are expected to remain in use until the original building is torn down. Construction impacts will be minimized for the students and staff using the facility during construction. (See Checklist, A.11) 8. In cooperation with the City, the District will construct an inclusive playground facility that will occupy a portion of the southeast ECLC project site and extend into the western portion of the adjacent TNHCC. The proposal is to bid and build the inclusive playground as part of the ECLC project for cost efficiencies. The City's and the District's rights and responsibilities with respect to the inclusive playground will be established by an interlocal agreement. (See Checklist, A.11) 9. The District has adopted the FEIS completed by the City in June 2011. To the extent that the FEIS accurately describes impacts associated with the proposed ECLC at a project -level of specificity, the District has incorporated and relied upon the FEIS's analysis as part of the District's environmental record for the SCLC project. (See Cbecklist, A.7 and Adoption of Existing Environmental Document) 10. However, the FEIS does not, in all respects, accurately or sufficiently describe the proposed action or the impacts associated with the proposed action. Therefore, pursuant to WAC 197-11-172(2)(b), as lead agency* for the proposed action, the District undertook further environmental review of the proposed action and is making a new threshold determination based upon the District's complete environmental record. (See Checklist, A_7) Launching Leaming to Last a Lifetime 7812 South 124`" Street, Seattle, Washington 98178-4830 1 p-. 425.204.4403 1 f. 425204.4476 www.rentonschools.us R T o x 4 11. Under the Planned Action for the Sunset Area approved by the City in June 2011, the Development Threshold for new land use related to Schools was established as 57,010 gross square feet per Ordinance 5610 Section 2(D)(2)(a). The neva gross square footage of building being added by the ECLC project will be approximately 30,164 square feet or 33,057 square feet if two additional classrooms are constructed, which does not exceed the Development Threshold established under the Planned Action. In addition, ECLC will not exceed the expected total trip range threshold of 5,386 PM Peak Hour Trips established in . the Planned Action per Ordinance 5610 Section 2(D)(3). (See Checklist, A.7) 12. The SEPA Environment Checklist was made available for public review from December 12, 2011 to January 9, 2012. A Notice of SEPA Consultation was published in the Seattle Times, posted on the site, and mailed to interested agencies and neighbors of the property on December 12, 2011. No public comments were received during the public review period for the SEPA Environmental Checklist (See Checklist, Notice of SEPA Consultation, and District SEPA file) 13. The Hillcrest Early Childhood Center building with associated play area, play fields, and three double classroom portables is currently on the site. (See Checklist, B.8.c) 14. Construction is anticipated to start June 2012 with substantial completion for the building and a portion of the site work scheduled for August 2013 and the remaining site work to the west of the new building scheduled for October 2013. The proposed construction schedule is as follows: + Remove the three double classroom portables (Spring 2012) Remove outdoor play area canopy structure behind the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center (Summer 2012) • Construct the new ECIC building adjacent to existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center (May 2012 August 2013) a Construct new parking lot and associated improvements on the eastern portion of the site Dune 2012 — August 2013} • Abate asbestos, lead-based paints, and underground storage tank in the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center (June —July 2013) • Demolish the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center Guly — August 2013) Launching Leaming to Last a Lifetime 7812 South 124"Street, Seattle, Washington 98178-4830 1 A: 425.204.4403 1 f. 425.204.4476 www.reintonschools.us RE TN O 5 a Construct new parking lot and associated improvements for SCLC on the western portion of the site (August — October 2013) ■ Construct playground between the new SCLC building and the NHCC in cooperation with the City (August— October 2013) (See Checklist, A.6) 15. At the start of the project, the canopy structure next to the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center will be removed and the three double classroom portables will be relocated off-site. Once the new SCLC is constructed, the existing Hillcrest Early Cbildhood Center will be demolished. Prior to demolition, the existing building and site will be abated of asbestos, lead-based paints, and an existing underground storage tank will be decommissioned and removed from the site in accordance with City requirements. (See Checklist, B.8 -d) M. Grading will be required to prepare the site for the proposed improvements. Fill wilt be necessary to support the proposed pavement, building and to augment previously placed fill. It is assumed, for purposes of this analysis, that the proposed project -will need no more than 5,100 cubic yards of fill. The District will obtain the fill from an approved source. (See Check -hs% BA.e) 17. Existing soils and related conditions are assessed on pages 3-1 and 3-2 of the FEIS. However, the FEIS provided an insufficient analysis of these conditions for purposes of the proposed action. Therefore, Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. prepared the "Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Repots" dated November 18, 2010, and follow-up "Technical Memorandum" dated August 15, 2011for the District. These analyses recommend measures to be implemented by the District to mitigate the proposal's potential impact to soils and related conditions. (See Checklist, B.4.c, FEIS, "Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report" dated November 18, 2010, and "Technical Memorandum" dated August 15, 2011) 18. Air quality impacts are assessed on pages 3-3 to 3-6 of the FEIS. Demolition and construction activities at the site could stir up dust particles. Construction vehicles and equipment will also be a potential source of exhaust emissions. Both demolition and construction activities will follow the appropriate regulations for controlling emissions to the air. Although no significant construction impacts of the proposal on air quality have been identified, measures will be implemented by the District to reduce these potential impacts further.

However, the FEIS provided an insufficient analysis of these conditions for purposes of the proposed action. Therefore, the District retained Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. to prepare a "rechnicai I4femorandurn" on August 15, 2011 that assessed i flItration field data and infiltration system design recommendations for the project, Associated Earth Sciences, Lnc. subsequently prepared a "Summary of Additional Borings in Planned Playground Area" on November 9, 2011- (See Checklist, B.3.c.1), "Technical Memorandum" dated August 15, 2011 and "Surrrtmary of Additional Borings in Planned Playground Area" dated November 9, 2011) 22. Based upon these analyses, the District will prepare and implement a storm drainage plan in accordance with the City requirements. The site will be graded to drain to a storm catch basin or directly into a stoma water swale or rain garden. The catch basins, swale, and rain gardens will connect to an underground infiltration system that will allow the water to infiltrate into the site soils. Runoff from pollution generating surfaces will be treated by the swale or rain gardens prior to infiltration. Runoff from the roof will be tightlined directly to the infiltration systems. These measures will mitigate potential storm drainage impacts; all surface water will be treated and infiltrated on-site. There will be no off-site runoff (See Checklist, B3.c.1) and Checklist, B.3.d) 23. The City uses the 2009 Ding County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWD--VI), as amended by King County or the City. The KCSWDM establishes the methodology and design criteria used for the conveyance, treatment, and flow control facilities. A "Technical Information Report" was prepared in December 2011 by AHBL., Inc. and it was submitted to the City for review in December 2011.

The request is to eliminate the requirement for a sidewalk on the Index Avenue NE frontage to the development site. The request is based on a desire to retain several existing trees along the east side of the.street. The modification request to waive the sidewalk requirement is denied. A modification is approved for waiving installation of a new curb and gutter along Index Avenue NE, and to retain the existing improvements along the north side of the side along Harrington Avenue NE. The request to waive the sidewalk requirement on Index Avenue NE cannot be granted, The highest priority locations for sidewalks are in the vicinity of schools, unless there are physical constraints making their installation cost prohibitive. This particular location has a very gradual slope up from the pavement, presenting no significant obstacle to installation of sidewalks at or near current grades. The location of the new sidewalks appears to conflict with four existing mature maple trees, which are proposed to be retained. The retention of the trees can be accommodated by meandering the sidewalk alignment around the front of the trees, which will be required for this project_ The existing street improvements adjacent to the north side of site do not meet the current standards for an 8 -foot planting strip, but are acceptable with the current 5 -foot planting strip and established street trees. A modification is approved to allow for the existing planting strip, street trees and sidewalk to remain unchanged for the project. Street requirements for this proposed development project are now modified as follows Harrington Avenue NE — This street section is already fully improved with curb, gutter, sidewalk, street trees, and street lighting. The pavement width and sidewalk width conform to current City standards. The existing planting strip is less than the current eight (8) foot standard, but can remain unchanged for this project. No further street improvements or right-of-way dedications are required on this street section north of tho rleavminmman+ ri+p 15 South Grady Way + Renton, Washington 98057 a rentonwa_gov EXHIBIT Mr. Brad Medrud Page 2 of 2 February 3, 2012 Frontage along Index Avenue NE, on the west side of the project, is currently improved with approximately 26 feet of pavement. A modification is granted for this project to leave the existing pavement section unchanged, with no new curb and gutter section required. Additional right-of-way dedication of four (4) feet is required to allow for future design and construction of a full conforming street section following redevelopment of the west side of the street. A new five (5) foot wide concrete sidewalk is required to be constructed along the new property line, including meandering of sidewalk alignment as needed to retain the existing mature maple trees. NE 16th Street, south of the site, is currently improved with approximately 32 feet of pavement and a concrete sidewalk immediately adjacent to the pavement. This frontage will require a new curb and gutter section located 16 feet from centerline of the existing right-of-way, an eight (8) foot planting strip and a five (5) foot sidewalk. These improvements will also require the dedication of an additional four (4) feet of right-of-way. Pedestrian level street lighting is required along all project street frontages. If new street lights are necessary to meet this requirement, they will need to meet new City LED street lighting standards. The street standard modification does not become official until the site plan for the development is approved, at which point it can be appealed, etc. The modification listed in this letter will be included as part of the CED site plan decision for the proposed project. if you have further questions regarding street improvement, utility design, or drainage requirements for this project, please contact Arneta Henninger at 425-430-7298 or ahenninger@rentonwa.gou.

The District is demolishing all of the existing permanent structures on The entrr:e SCLC project site. The total school site and project work area is 324,953 square feet (7.46 acres) urith the addition of approximately 20,000 squaw feet (0.46 acres) of the NHCC for the inclusive playground facility. The existing use is a K-12 public school district educational facility and this use will remain unchanged. There are no proposed changes to the site beyond what is described below as part of this proposal. (See Environmental Checklist Form (Checklist), A.11) 2. The SCLC is a project action that is consistent with and contemplated by the District's Capital Facilities Plan. The proposal requites the demolition of the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center and associated outbuildings, relocation of three double classroom portables off-site, removal of existing site improvements, and the construction of the new ECLC. (See Checklist, A.11) .3. The new building will support the District's educational programs, including the Integrated Preschool program, Head Start and the Early= Childhood Education and Assistance Program). In addition to twenty -taro classrooms with associated workrooms, storage areas, and indoor play areas arranged into three separate wings, the new building will have a multipurpose mom, as well as a kitchen, conference rooms, maintenance rooms, and support offices. There will be approximately 450 students and approximately 75 staff in the new facility. (See Checklist, A.11) 4. The existing one-story masonry school building has a gross area of 38,588 square feet, not including the three double classroom portables behind the building. There are approxumtely 58 parldng spaces existing on the site. (See Checklist, A.11) 5. The new building will have a gross area of approximately 68,752 square feet with a total approximate gross area of 71,645 square feet if two additional classrooms are constructed. There will be approximately 93 parking stalls accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Index Avenue Northeast and Harrington Avenue Northeast and ten (10) bus loading spaces accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Northeast 16th Street and nine (9) bus loading spaces accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Harmgton Avenue Launching Leaming to Last a Lifetime 7812 South 12e Street, Seattle, Washington 981784830 1 p. 425.204.4403 ( f. 425204.4476 www.rentonschools.us R E N J Northeast. The proposed project will provide 10 bicycle parking spaces, which is equal to ten percent of the number of requited off-street parking spaces. (See Checklist, A.11) 6. The first part of the proposed project requires the removal of the double classroom portables, the demolition of the play shed and removal of all site improvements in the eastern pomon of the site. D=g the first part of the proposed project, the existing Hillcrest Earp Childhood Center will remain in use until the new ECLC building is constructed on the eastern portion of the site and is ready to be occupied. (See Checklist, A.11) 7. During the second part of the construction, the old building will be demolished and the remaining site improvements will be completed on the western portion of the site. The thirty-seven parking spaces located west of the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center are expected to remain in use until the orig� building is torn down. Construction impacts grill be minimized for r -be students and staff using the facility during construction. (See Checklist, All) 8. In cooperation with the City, the District %-M construct an inclusive playground facility that will occupy a portion of the southeast ECLC project site and extend into the western portion of the adjacent NHCC. The proposal is to bid and build rhe inclusive playground as part of the ECLC project for cost efficiencies. The City's and rhe DistiicT's tights and responsibilities with respect to the inclusive playground wiU be established by an interlocal agreement. (See Checklist, A.11) 9. The District has adopted the FEIS completed by the City in June 2011. To the extent that tlae FF IS accurately- describes impacts associated with the proposed ECLC at a project -level of spccificity, the District has incorporated and relied upon the FEIS's analysis as part of tae Disttices environmental record for the ECLC project (See Checklist, A,7 and Adoption of Existing Environmental Document) 10. However, the FEIS does not, in all respects, accurately or sufficiently describe the proposed action or the impacts associated with the proposed action. Therefore, pursuant to W'_A-C 197-11-1?2(2)(b), as lead agency for the proposed action., the District undertook further environmental review of the proposed action and is making a. new, threshold detelTumi ation based upon the District's complete environmental record. (See Checklist, A.7) Launching Leaming to Last a Lifetime 7812 South 124th Street, Seattle, Washington 98178-4830 1 p: 425.204.44031 f 425.204,4476 www.rentonschools.us R L. t. TO� 4 11. Under the Planned Action for the Sunset Area approved by the City in June 2011, the Development Threshold for new land use related to Schools was established as 57,010 gross square feet per Ordinance 5610 Section 2(D)�2)(a). The new gross square footage of building being added by the ECLC project ail] be approximately- 30,164 square feet or 33,057 square feet if two additional classrooms are constructed, which does not exceed the Development Threshold established under the Planned Action. In addition, ECLC will not exceed the expected total trip range threshold of 5,386 PM Peals. Hour Trips established in the Planned Action per Ordinance 5610 Section 2p)(3)- (See Checklist, A.7) 12. The SERA Environment Checklist was made available for public review from December 12, 2411 to January 9, 2012. A Notice of SEPA Consultation was published in the Seattle Times, posted on the site, and. mailed to interested agencies and neighbors of the property on December 12, 2011. No public comments were received during the public review period for the SERA Environmental Checklist. (See Checklist, Notice of SEPA Consultation, and District SEPA file) 13. The Hillcrest Early Childhood Center building with associated play area, play fields, and three double classroom portables is currently on the site. (See Checklist; b.8.c) 14. Construction is anticipated to start June 2012 with substantial completion for the building and a portion of the site work scheduled for August 2013 and the remaining site work to the west of the new building scheduled for October 2013. The proposed constmction schedule is as follows: • Remove the three double classroom portables (spring 2012) • Remove outdoor play area canopy structure behind the e2asting Hillcrest Early Childhood Center (Summer 2012) • Construct the new ECLC building adjacent to existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center (Nlay 2012 — August 2013) • Construct new parking lot and associated improv eznents on the eastern portion of the site (;lune 2012 — Augusr 2013) s Abate asbestos, lead-based paints, and underground storage tank in the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center Dune —July 2013) • Demolish the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center (July —August 2013) Launching Leaming to Last a Lifetime 7812 South 120 Street, Seattle, Washington 98178.483()1 p. 425.204.4403 1 f 425,204,4476 www.rerntonschools.us R� N r c 3 Construct new parking lot and associated improvements for ECLC on the western portion of the site (A-ugust — October 2013) E Construct playground between the new ECLC building and the NHCC in cooperation with the City (August — October 2013) (See Checklist, A -G) 15. At the start of the project, the canopy structure next to the e --costing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center will be removed and the three double classroom portables will be relocated off-site. Once the nets* ECLC is constructed, the e--dsing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center will be demolished. Prior to demohtion, the e-sdsting building and site will - be abated of asbestos, lead-based paints, and an e3dsiag underground storage tank will be decommissioned and removed from the site in accordance with City requirements. (See Checklist, B.8.d) 16. Grading will be required to prepare the site for the proposed improvements. Fill will be necessary to support the proposed pavement, building and to augment pre riously placed fill. It is assumed, for purposes of this analysis, that the proposed project will need no more than 5,100 cubic yards of fill. The District will obtain the fill from an approved source. (See Checldist, B -1.e} 17. Ellaisting soils and related conditions are assessed on pages 3-1 and 3-2 of the FEIS. However, the FEIS provided an insufficient analysis of these conditions for purposes of the proposed action. Therefore, Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. prepared the "Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report" dated November 18, 2010, and follow-up "Technical Nlemorandum' dated August 15, 2011 for the District These analyses recommend measures to be implemented by the District to mitigate the proposal's potential impact to soils and related conditions. (See Checklist, B.4.c, FEIS, "Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechrdcal Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report" dated November 18, 2010, and "Pechnical Memorandurr)" dated August 15, 2011) 1$. Air quality impacts are assessed on pages 3-3 to 3-6 of the FEIS. Demolition and construction acri�,ities at the site could stir up dust particles, Construction vehicles and equipment a -ill also be a potential source of exhaust emissions. Both demolition and construction acdvities VI -ill follow the appropriate regulations for controlling emissions to the air. Although no significant construction impacts of the proposal on air quality .have been identified, measures Will be implemented by the District to reduce these potential impacts further. After .project Launching Leaming to Last a Lifetime 7812 South 124h Street, Seattle, Washington 98173-4830 ! p-. 425.204.4403 1 F 425.204.4475 wwuv.rentonschcols.us RENT N- 2 completion, the primary sources and amounts of emissions for the nein facility will be about the same as they are now for the existing facility. (See Checklist, B.2 -a) 19_ There are no surface water bodies on or in the immmoedin vicinity of the site, (See Checklist, B.3.a) 20. The site is located in the City's sensitive area. Aquifer Protection reap and is in Aquifer Protection Zone 2. We do not anticipate any impacts to the aquifer from our project. There are no other sensitive areas identified on the site, not are any sensitive areas impacted by the proposal. (See Checklist, B.3.b.1) and City of Renton Sensitive Area Maps dated 2009) 21. Stormwater runoff is assessed on pages 3-10 and 3-11 of the FEIS. Howmrer, the FEIS provided an insufficient analysis of these conditions for purposes of the proposed action. Therefore, the District retained Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. to prepare a ` Te6aical Memorandum.' on August 15, 2011 that assessed inEttation field data and infiltration system design recommendations for the project. Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. subsequently prepared a "Siamrnary of Additional Borings in Planned Playground Area" on t�Nc*ernber 9, 2011. (See Checklist, B.3.c.1), "Technical Memorandum" dated August 15, 2011 and "Summary= of Additional Borings in Planned Playground Area" dated November 9, 2011) 22. Based upon these analyses, the District milt prepare and implement a storm dtainage plan in accordance with the City requirements. The site will be graded to drain to a storm catch basin or directly into a storm -water swale or rain garden. 117e catch basins, swale, and rain gardens will connect to an underground infiltration system that will alloxv the water to infiltrate into the site soils. Runoff from pollution genexating surfaces will be treated by the swale or mina gardens prior to infiltration. Runoff from the roof will be tightlined directly to the infiltration systems. These measures will mitigate potential storm. drainage impacts; all surface mater will be treated and infiltrated on-site. There m=ill be no off-site runoff. (See Checklist, B.3.c.1) and Checklist, B.3.d) 23. The City uses the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual {KCSW-D.A, as amended by King County or the City. The KCS1V-D'f establishes the methodology and design criteria used fox the conveyance, treatment, and flow control facilities. A "Technical Information Report" was prepared .in December 2011 by AHBL, Inc. and it w as submitted to the Cit; for review. in December 2011.

According to Map 'Number 53033CO668 F of the FEMA :National Flood insurance Program's Flood Insurance Rate Maps, the proposed project does not appear to lie ti-krithin a 100 -year flood plain. (See Checklist, B3.a.5 and FET IL I%Iap Number 53033CO668) 25. There are no threatened cr endangered animal or plant species known to be on or near the site thatwill be impacted by the. proposal. (See Checklist, BA.c. and Checklist, B.51) 26. Environmental health hazards are assessed on pages 3-25 and 3-26 of the FEIS. However, the FEIS provided an insufficient analysis of these conditions for purposes of the proposed action. Therefore, the District obtained aN``I.;rnited Hazardous 'Vfaterials Survey Report," prepared by EHS Intemational, Inc., dated August 17, 2011. Based upon this analysis, it was determined that there is a potential for exposure to asbestos, lead-based paints, during the demolition of the existing Hillcrest Early Learning Center. An e�dstimg underground storage tank will be the proposals proposal's potential impact to environmental health, (See Checklist, B.Ta., FEIS, and `United Hazatdous Materials Survey Repore' dated Augast 17, 2011) 27. 'Noise iaxnpacts are assessed on pages 3-22 and 3-23 of the FEIS. Temporary, short-term noise impacts typical of construction projects could occur with operation of equipment during construction.. Construction will normally occur between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6.00 p.rn. subject to City ordinances. Measures are recommended to mitigate these potential impacts. Long -terra noises associated with existing school use at the site will continue to occur at levels similar to the existing condition. These noise impacts are consistent with existing land use in the vicinity. (See Checklist, B.7.b 2) and FEIS) 28. The current use of the site is the District's Hillcrest Early Childhood Center.

The City of Renton zoning designation of all the adjacent properties is Residential 14 DU/AC (R-14). Current use of the site and any existing improvements The current and proposed use of the site is a K-12 public school district educational facility. The current use of the western portion of the NHCC is a playground and the proposed use will be the inclusive playground facility. • Special site features (i.e. wetlands, water bodies, steep slopes) None. • Statement addressing soil type and drainage conditions See the Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report prepared by Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. on November 18, 2010 and their Summary of Additional Barings in Planned Playground Area dated November 9, 2011, for information on the soil types on the site. Using the Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. analysis, a storm drainage plan will be prepared in accordance with the City of Renton requirements. The site will be graded to drain to a storm catch basin or directly into a storm water swale or rain garden. The catch basins, swale, and rain gardens will connect to an underground infiltration system that will allow the water to infiltrate into the site soils. Runoff from pollution generating surfaces will be treated by the swale or rain gardens prior to infiltration. Runoff from the roof will be tightlined directly to the infiltration systems. • Proposed use of the property and scope of the proposed development The School District is proposing the Early Childhood Learning Center (SCLC) as a project action that is consistent with and contemplated by the District's Capital Facilities Plan. The proposal involves the demolition of the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center and associated outbuildings, relocation of three double classroom portables off-site, removal of existing site improvements, and the construction of the new ECLC. The existing site occupies two parcels that are in the process of being combined into one parcel. The total site and project work area is 324,953 square feet (7.46 acres) with the addition of approximately 20,000 square feet (0.46 acres) of the NHCC for the inclusive playground facility. The existing use is a K-12 public school district educational facility and this use will remain unchanged. The new building will include the Early Childhood/Special Education Preschool program, Head Start and the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP). In addition to twenty-two classrooms with associated workrooms and storage areas arranged into three separate wings, the new building will include a multipurpose room, as well as a kitchen, conference rooms, maintenance rooms, and support offices. There will be approximately 450 students and approximately 75 staff in the new facility. Project Memo Page 2 of 5 Early Childhood Learning Center 210614.30 December 20, 2011 Q1DOO The existing one-story masonry school building has a gross area of 38,588 square feet, not including the three double classroom portables behind the building. There are approximately 58 parking spaces existing on the site. The new building will have a gross area of approximately 68,752 square feet with a total approximate gross area of 71,645 square feet if the alternate is constructed. The alternate consists of two adult classrooms with separate hallway access. There will be approximately 93 parking stalls accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Index Avenue Northeast and Harrington Avenue Northeast and 10 bus loading spaces accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Northeast 16th Street and 9 bus loading spaces accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Harrington Avenue Northeast. The proposed project will provide 10 bicycle parking spaces, which is equal to ten percent of the number of required off-street parking spaces. The first part of the project will involve the removal of the double classroom portables, the demolition of the play shed and removal of all site improvements in the eastern portion of the site. During the first part of the project, the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center will remain in use until the new ECLC building is constructed on the eastern portion of the site and is ready to be occupied. During the second part of the construction, the old building will be demolished and the site improvements will be completed on the western portion of the site. The thirty-seven parking spaces located west of the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center are expected to remain in use until the original building is torn down. The School District will work to ensure that construction impacts are minimized for the students using the facility during construction. In cooperation with the City of Renton, the Renton School District will construct an inclusive playground facility that will occupy a portion of the southeast SCLC project site and extend into the western portion of the adjacent NHCC. The intent would be to bid and build the inclusive playground as part of the ECLC project for cost efficiencies. The party's rights and responsibilities with respect to the inclusive playground will be established by an interlocal agreement. For plats indicate the proposed number, net density and range of sizes (net lot area) of the new lots Not applicable to this application. • Access The school is currently accessed by three separate driveways. Current access points include a one-way ingress from Northeast 16th Street and a one-way egress on to Harrington Avenue Northeast as well as a separate ingress/egress service entrance from Harrington Avenue Northeast. All of these entrances and exits will be removed as part of the ECLC project and replaced with new driveways, drop-off areas and parking areas. At full project completion, the ECLC will provide one vehicle ingress/egress point to access parking and a drop-off area and a separate ingress and egress bus parking pull-through driveway on Harrington Avenue Northeast. Additionally, the project will provide another vehicle ingress/egress point along Index Avenue Northeast with a second buffs parking and turn around ingress/egress point from Northeast 16th Street.

The fair market value is assumed equal to the estimated construction cost. • Estimated quantities and type of materials involved if any fill or excavation is proposed Grading will be required to prepare the site for the proposed improvements. Fill will be necessary to support the proposed pavement, building and to augment previously placed fill. Based upon the current site plan, it is anticipated that the project will need approximately 5,100 cubic yards of fill. The contractor for the project will be required to obtain the fill from an approved source. • Number, type and size of any trees to be removed No trees on site will be removed. Five trees along Harrington Avenue Northeast will be removed within the right-of-way. These will be replaced in accordance with City of Renton requirements. • Explanation of any land to be dedicated to the City No land will be dedicated to the City. There may be easements granted for utility access. • Any proposed job shacks, sales trailers, and/or model homes There will be several temporary job shacks on the site. • Any proposed modifications being requested (include written justification) The project will comply with the City's standards for frontage improvements along Harrington Avenue Northeast and Northeast 16th Street as set out in RMC 4-6-030 - Street Standards. After careful evaluation, the School District will be filing for an documented exemption from the City's Complete Streets requirements as outlined in RMC 4-6-030(G)(2) for street frontage improvements along Index Avenue Northeast. This is due to the potential damage, which could occur to the four large existing trees located adjacent to the Index Avenue Project Memo Page 4 of 5 Early Childhood Learning Center 210614.30 December 20, 2011 4 ATHTBf L Northeast right-of-way.

The NE 16th Street, Harrington Avenue NE, Natural Resource Eco,°9;Srs and Index Avenue NE rights-of-way, adjoin the project site. The City of Renton Planning Division staff identified four mature, established trees along the Lana 5urvq,ors frontage of Index Avenue NE to preserve as part of the project at our pre -application meeting on October 6, 2011. We believe we all share the concern that any new street or sidewalk Ne;ohbors construction along Index Avenue NE would damage these trees and their root systems. At the pre -application meeting, we discussed the process required for modifications to RMC 4-6-060 -- Street Standards for the portion of our frontage along Index Avenue NE. We also discussed how these modifications needed to be approved by the City before we can proceed to our land use hearing in February 2012. To preserve these trees and to accomplish our mutual goal, we request a modification of the minimum street right-of-way width requirement and an exemption from the Complete Streets requirements for a sidewalk along Index Avenue NE. We would meet all of the other Street Standard requirements along Index Avenue NE under RMC 4-6-060, and the project will comply with the City's Street Standards along Harrington Avenue NE and NE 16th Street. The attached sketch of the proposed design in this area illustrates the following significant measures the Renton School District has taken; • Incorporation of the four existing trees into the new landscaping along the Index Avenue NE street frontage; • Retention of the existing curb locations along Index Avenue NE and the west edge of the existing parking lot; • Careful replacement of the curbs in their present locations to minimize disruption to ra �; a ria {, the existing tree root systems; • Retention of existing grades to the maximum extent practical; and 2215 North 30th Street � Thoughtful placement of a proposed new driveway at a maximum practical distance SuRe 300 from the existing trees. Tacoma, WA 98403-3350 253.389.2422 TEL 253,383.2572 Fa - www. ahbl.ccm Mr. Neil Watts, Development Services ,,rector January 10, 2012 210614.30 Page 2 of 4 Request for a Modification of the Minimum Street Right -of -Way Width Requirement for Index Avenue NE per RMC 4-6-060(F)(2) and RMC 4-9-250(D) According to our survey information, the Index Avenue NE right-of-way next to our project site is 50 feet wide, and the City requires Residential Access Streets to have a minimum right-of- way width of 53 feet, so we would like to request a modification of the minimum right-of-way width under RMC 4-6-060(F)(2) and RMC 4-9-250(D). RMC 4-6-060(F)(2), "Minimum Design Standards Table for Public Streets and Alleys" states that the Residential Access Street Functional Classification requires a right-of-way width of 53 feet. We would like to request that the minimum street right-of-way width requirement for Index Avenue NE be modified to reflect the existing 50 -foot right-of-way width. The shared desire of the City of Renton Planning Division and the Renton School District to preserve the four existing mature trees, in order to meet the landscaping and tree preservation requirements found in RMC 4-4-070 and RMC 4-4-130, presents a practical difficulty in complying with this requirement of the City's Street Standards. Any new street or sidewalk construction along Index Avenue NE would damage these trees and their root systems. The existing use is a K-12 public school district educational facility, and this use will remain unchanged. The existing residential neighborhood and right-of-way widths were established more than 50 years ago when the Renton Highlands was platted, and this will remain unchanged. There is not a need for wider right-of-way at Index Avenue NE. For individual cases, such as this one, the Department Administrator may grant a modification if the strict application of this Code is impractical, that the intent and purpose of the governing land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan is met, and that the modification is in conformity with the intent and purpose of this Code. Our proposed modification meets all of these conditions. In addition, our proposed modification to the right-of-way width requirement for Index Avenue NE meets all of the decision criteria found in RMC 4-9-250(D)(2) for granting a modification; a. Substantially implements the policy direction of the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design Element and the proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement these policies and objectives; The project will substantially implement the direction of the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design Element by preserving four existing, mature street trees that, in turn, lessen the impact of the new building on the neighborhood. The proposed modification to reflect the existing 50 -foot right-of-way width is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement these policies and objectives; b. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment; The proposed modification meets the objectives of safety, function, appearance, environmental protection, and maintainability as intended by the Code requirements to ensure reasonable and safe access to public and private properties, based upon sound engineering judgment; 131000 Mr. Neil Watts, Development Services Director January 10, 2012 210614.30 Page 3 of 4 no 0 c. Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity, The proposed modification will not be injurious to other properties in the vicinity; d. Conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code; The proposed modification conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code to foster a sense of place in the public realm with attractive design amenities; e Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and The proposed modification is justified and required for the use and situation intended; and f.

Request for Exemption from Complete Streets Requirements_ for Index Avenue NE per RMC 4-6-060(G)(2)(e) RMC 4-6-060(F)(2), "Minimum Design Standards Table for Public Streets and Alleys" states that the Residential Access Street Functional Classification requires 5 -foot sidewalks on both sides of the street. In addition, RMC 4-6-060(G) states: G. COMPLETE STREETS.• 1. Complete Streets. The City of Renton will plan for, design, and construct transportation projects to appropriately provide accommodations for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders of all ages and abilities, and freight and motor vehicles, including the incorporation of such facilities into transportation plans and programs. 2. Exemptions: Pedestrian and bicycle facilities are not required to be established when it is concluded by the Administrator of the Department of Community and Economic Development and/or designee that application of complete streets principles is unnecessary or inappropriate. a. Where their establishment would be contrary to public safety, or b. When the cost would be excessively disproportionate to the need or probable use; or c Where there is no identified long-term need, or d. Where the establishment would violate Comprehensive Plan policies; or e: Where the Administrator of the Department of Community and Economic Development and/or designee grants a documented exemption which may only be authorized in specific situations where conditions warrant.

This site-specific exemption is based on a specific situation and it is due to the damage that would occur to the four large mature, established trees located adjacent to the existing paved Index Avenue NE right-of-way if a sidewalk is to be installed. Based on the City's landscape and tree retention standards found in RMC 4-4-070 and RMC 4-4-130, the City of Renton Planning Division and the Renton School District want to retain these prominent mature, established trees as part of the new project. The construction of a new sidewalk, with the associated grading and potential walls, will damage these trees and their root systems. Students and other users of the ECIC facility will be able to use the concrete pedestrian sidewalks within the project site to move between Harrington Avenue NE and NE 16th Street. Conclusion For the abovementioned reasons, we respectfully request your consideration of this modification and exemption to the City's standards. Granting the modification and the exemption will benefit the North Highland Community and enhance the quality of the project. If you have any questions or need additional information, please call me at (253) 383-2422. Thank you for your assistance with this process.

NOTE: The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary is preliminary and non- binding and may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official city decision -makers. Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. I have completed a preliminary review for the above -referenced proposal for an Early Childhood/Special Education Preschool, located at the south east corner of Index Ave NE and Harrington Ave NE, and the northeast corner of the intersection of NE 10 St and Index Ave NE, all in Section 4, Township 23N, Range SE. The new building will include a multipurpose room, a kitchen, and support offices. The following comments are based on the pre -application submittal made to the City of Renton by the applicant. Water The subject development is within the water service area of the City of Renton and in the Highlands 565- presure zone. The development is also within the City's Sunset Area Community Planned Action and a Final NEPA/SEPA Environmental Impact Statement was completed in April 2011. There are existing 8 -inch and 6 -inch diameter,water mains in the vicinity of the site, in Harrington Ave NE, Index Ave NE, and NE 161h Street. The existing 8 -inch water main in the northerly portion of Harrington Ave NE can deliver a maximum flow rate of 2,400 gallons per minute (gpm), and the 6 -inch mains in the westerly portion of Harrington Ave NE and in NE Wh S can deliver a maximum of 1,400 gpm during fire flow conditions and at 20 psi residual pressure. The static water pressure at the street level (elevation 380 ft.) is about 80 psi. The preliminary fire flow demand for the proposed development, with fire sprinkler system, was determined by the Renton Fire Marshal to be 4,000 gpm, which is higher than the available water Early Childhood Learning Center- Fit- ---045 Page 2 of 3 October S, 2011 system capacity of 1,400 gpm to 2,400 gpm In the vicinity of the project. As such, the existing water system cannot provide the required fire flow demand for the subject development. In order to provide the required fire flow demand for the subject development and for future development and redevelopment projects within the Sunset Area Community Planned Action, extensive water main improvements will be required. A general water system Improvements schematic is shown on Figure 4.17-1 of the Draft NEPA/SEPA EIS documents. A description of the mitigation measures for the impact to the water system is shown in Section 17 of the Final EIS, which included the extension of 12 -inch water mains in the following streets: 1. In Harrington Ave NE from the existing 12 -inch water main in Sunset Blvd NE to NE 16th St. 2. In Kirkland Ave NE from the existing 12 -inch water main in Sunset Blvd NEW NE 16th St. 3. In NE 16th St from the above new 12 -inch water mains in Harrington Ave NE and in Kirkland Ave NE. 4. Additional on-site water mains will also be required along with hydrants, fire sprinkler connection, backflow preventers, and water meters. 5. The development is subject to the City's water system development charges per Renton Municipal Code (RMC44-180C), based on the size of the meter(s) and the size of the fire sprinkler stub and also subject to applicable city plan review and inspection fees. 6. Civil plans for the water main improvements shall be prepared by a professional engineer registered in the State of Washington and shall meet the City's standards. Sanitary Sewer 1. There is an existing 8" concrete sanitary sewer main located in Harrington Ave NE and in NE 16th St and in Index Ave NE. See City of Renton drawing S-1114 for engineering details. 2.

B. Community Need: There shall be a community need for the proposed use at the proposed location. In the determination of community need, the reviewing official shall consider the following factors among all other relevant information: 1. The proposed location shall not result in either the detrimental over - concentration of a particular use within the City or within the immediate area of the proposed use. The Renton School District is proposing the ECLC as a project action that is consistent with and contemplated by the District's Capital Facilities Plan. The proposed location will not result in either the detrimental over -concentration of a particular use within the City or within the immediate area of the proposed use. The School District is proposing to demolish the existing Renton School District - Hillcrest Early Childhood Center and associated outbuildings and develop the new Renton School District - ECLC facility on the same site. The existing and proposed uses of the site are both K-12 public school district educational facilities whose programs are similar. The current use of the western portion of the NHCC is a playground and the proposed use will be the inclusive playground facility. 2. The proposed location is suited for the proposed use. CUP Justification - Project Memo Page 3 of 9 Renton School District — Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) 210614.30 December 20, 2011 o go Fo a mmo The proposed location is suited for the proposed use. As stated above in the answer to question B.1., the existing and proposed uses of the site are both K-12 public school district educational facilities with similar programs. The current use of the western portion of the NHCC is a playground and the proposed use will be the inclusive playground facility. The location is zoned to allow the proposed use subject to the review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit and concurrent Site Plan Review. No critical areas affect the placement of the proposed use on the site. C. Effect on Adjacent Properties: The proposed use at the proposed location shall not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property. The proposed use at the proposed location will not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property. As addressed in the specific criteria below, the proposed use is compatible with adjacent properties by compliance with the City's development regulations and the mitigation established by the School District's SEPA Review process. In addition, the reviewing official shall also consider the following items when analyzing the application. • Compatibility: The proposed use shall be compatible with the residential scale and character of the neighborhood. The proposed use will be more compatible with the residential scale and character of the neighborhood than the existing facility. The proposed use will meet all of the City's bulk and dimensional regulations. It will provide the current required level of landscaping on the site that will buffer the residential uses east of the site and screen the parking and loading areas as well as the building from neighboring uses. Existing parking and loading will be move off the adjacent streets and on to the project site, reducing impacts to the proposed use's residential neighbors. The project will address the City's design review requirements for schools as noted in the design review discussion submitted in the CUP/SPR submittal package. • Parking: Parking under the building structure should be encouraged. Lot coverage may be increased to as much as 75% of the lot coverage requirement of the zone in which the proposed use is located if all parking is provided underground or within the structure. Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-080 - Parking, Loading and Driveway Regulations establishes the parking requirements for the proposed use. As establish by the Parking Analysis there will be approximately 93 parking stalls accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Index Avenue Northeast and Harrington Avenue Northeast and 10 bus loading spaces accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Northeast 16th Street and 9 bus loading spaces accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Harrington Avenue Northeast. The proposed use will provide 10 bicycle parking spaces, which is equal to ten percent of the number of required off-street parking spaces. No parking will be provided under the building structure. CUP Justification - Project Memo Page 4 of 9 Renton School District — Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) 210614.30 December 20, 2011 IAIHIBI L] • Traffic: Traffic and circulation patterns of vehicles and pedestrians relating to the proposed use and surrounding area shall be reviewed for potential effects on, and to ensure safe movement in, the surrounding area. Traffic and circulation patterns of vehicles and pedestrians relating to the proposed use and surrounding area were reviewed for potential effects on, and to ensure safe movement in, the surrounding area. Currently, the existing school is accessed by three separate driveways, which include a one-way ingress from Northeast 16th Street and a one-way egress on to Harrington Avenue Northeast as well as a separate ingress/egress service entrance from Harrington Avenue Northeast, Currently, parent drop off students along Index Avenue Northeast and bus and regular parking movements occur in one location, To address safety concerns that exist at the current site layout, all of existing entrances and exits will be removed as part of the proposed use and replaced with new driveways, drop-off areas and parking areas. At full project completion, the SCLC will provide one vehicle ingress/egress point to access parking and a drop-off area and a separate ingress and egress bus parking pull- through driveway on Harrington Avenue Northeast. Additionally, the proposed use will provide another vehicle ingress/egress point along Index Avenue Northeast with a second bus parking and turn around ingress/egress point from Northeast 16th Street. The proposed use will improve the traffic and circulation patterns of vehicles and pedestrians on site and in the surrounding area. • Noise, Glare: Potential noise, light, and glare impacts shall be evaluated based on the location of the proposed use on the lot and the location of on-site parking areas, outdoor recreational areas and refuse storage areas. Potential noise, light, and glare impacts based on the location of the proposed use on the lot and the location of on-site parking areas, outdoor recreational areas and refuse storage areas were evaluated by the Renton School District as part of the SEPA review process. City requirements for refuse storage areas found in RMC 4-4-090 - Refuse and Recyclables Standards will be followed by the proposed use. Temporary, short-term noise impacts typical of construction projects will occur with operation of equipment during construction. Construction will normally occur between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m, subject to City of Renton ordinances. Long-term noises associated with existing school use at the site will continue to occur at levels similar to the existing condition. These noise impacts are consistent with existing land use in the vicinity. Potential noise impacts were assessed on pages 3-22 and 3-23 of the Sunset Area Community Planned Action Final NEPA/SEPA Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) prepared by the City of Renton as part of the Planned Action for the Sunset Area approved by the City of Renton under Ordinances 5610, 5611, and 5612 on June 13, 2011. As part of the School District's SEPA review, mitigation for noise impacts was proposed that limited work hours during the construction project to normal daytime hours and required the Contractor to meet all City of Renton code requirements applicable to construction noise. In addition, City requirements for noise found in RMC 8- 7-1 — Noise Level Regulations will be followed by the proposed use. Although the existing facility lights are visible, they do not pose a safety hazard or interfere with views from off-site locations. The existing exterior building and site lighting will be replaced as part of this project. New light fixtures proposed will not be a safety hazard or interfere with views. As part of the School District's SEPA review, CUP Justification - Project Memo Page 5 of 9 Renton School District — Early Childhood Learning Center (SCLC) 210614.30 December 20, 2011 WIDaQ mitigation for light and glare impacts was proposed that required that exterior building and parking lot lights be shielded to reduce impacts on neighboring properties. In addition, City requirements for on-site lighting found in RMC 4-4-075 - Lighting, Exterior On -Site will be followed by the proposed use. « Landscaping: Landscaping shall be provided in all areas not occupied by buildings or paving. The Hearing Examiner may require additional landscaping to buffer adjacent properties from potentially adverse effects of the proposed use. RMC 4-4-070 - Landscaping establishes the landscaping requirements for the proposed use. The proposed use will conform to the landscaping requirement of this chapter by providing landscaping in all areas not occupied by buildings or paving. Ten feet of required on-site landscaping will be provided along all public street frontages, with the exception of areas for required walkways and driveways as required by RMC 4- 4-070(F)(1). Required street trees and landscaping within the right-of-way on public streets will be provided by the project. Street trees will be located in this area according to the spacing standards stipulated by the Department of Community and Economic Development. Four existing street trees along Index Avenue Northeast will be preserved. Any additional undeveloped right-of-way areas will be landscaped as required by RMC 4- 4-070(F)(2). A ten -foot wide fully sight obscuring landscaped visual barrier along common property lines abutting less intensive residential use to the east of the proposed use will be provided as required by RMC 4-4-070(F)(4)(a). Pervious areas will have landscape treatment as required by RMC 4-4-070(F)(5). All parking lots will have perimeter landscaping as required by RMC 4-4-070(F)(6)(a) and RMC 4-4-070(H)(4) and more than the minimum amounts of interior parking lot landscaping required by RMC 4-4- 070(F)(6)(b) will be provided. • Accessory Uses: Accessory uses to conditional uses such as day schools, auditoriums used for social and sport activities, health centers, convents, preschool facilities, convalescent homes and others of a similar nature shall be considered to be separate uses and shall be subject to the provisions of the use district in which they are located. No accessory uses are proposed as part of the proposed use. All the uses of the proposed use are part of a K-12 public school district educational facility CLIP Justification - Project Memo Page 6 of 9 Renton School District - Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) 210614.30 December 20, 2011 LA No Q©aO • Conversion: No existing building or structure shall be converted to a conditional use unless such building or structure complies, or is brought into compliance, with the development standards. Conversion of existing buildings or structures is not proposed as part of this application. The existing building on the site will be torn down to make room for the new facility. The new facility complies with the City's development standards. • Public Improvements: The proposed use and location shall be adequately served by and not impose an undue burden on any public improvements, facilities, utilities, and services. Approval of a conditional use permit may be conditioned upon the provision and/or guarantee by the applicant of necessary public improvements, facilities, utilities and/or services. The proposed use and location will be adequately served by and not impose an undue burden on any public improvements, facilities, utilities, and services. A new water line may be required for fire flow. This will benefit the future redevelopment of the City's NHCC and the Renton Housing Authority projects. The construction of the water line will involve demolition, excavation/trenching, utility installation, backfill, and pavement restoration and new surfacing. Aside for a potential irrigation system to help the new plants and turf become established, no other new utilities will be provided, The school is currently accessed by three separate driveways. Current access points include a one-way ingress from Northeast 16th Street and a one-way egress on to Harrington Avenue Northeast as well as a separate ingress/egress service entrance from Harrington Avenue Northeast. All of these entrances and exits will be removed as part of the ECLC project and replaced with new driveways, drop-off areas and parking areas. New sidewalks will be constructed where existing driveways are removed. At full project completion, the ECLC will provide one vehicle ingress/egress point to access parking and a drop-off area and a separate ingress and egress bus parking pull- through driveway on Harrington Avenue Northeast. Additionally, the project will provide another vehicle ingress/egress point along Index Avenue Northeast with a second bus parking and turn around ingress/egress point from Northeast 16th Street. The proposed use will comply with the City's standards for frontage improvements along Harrington Avenue Northeast and Northeast 16th Street as set out in RMC 4-6-030 - Street Standards. After careful evaluation, the School District will be filing for an documented exemption from the City's Complete Streets requirements as outlined in RMC4-6-030(G)(2) for street frontage improvements along Index Avenue Northeast. This is due to the potential damage, which could occur to the four large existing trees located adjacent to the Index Avenue Northeast right-of-way. As encouraged in the City's landscape and design standards, the School District wishes to retain these prominent mature trees as part of the new project. Off-site improvements will include approximately 16,500 gross square feet of improvements in the right-of-way adjacent to the site and approximately 2,000 gross square feet of right -of way for water line and utility connections. In cooperation with the City of Renton, the Renton School District will develop an inclusive playground facility that will occupy a portion of the southeast ECLC project site and extend into the western portion of the adjacent NHCC. The intent would be to bid and build the inclusive playground as part of the ECLC project for cost efficiencies.

Its function is for pre -k education and as such provides invaluaW`'" r resources to its community, especially young families. As well, the green space, landscaping, playground facilities and community use spaces that will be available will enhance the surrounding neighborhood fostering a sense of community. The site is designed such that vehicles are separated from pedestrian zones and buses are separated from cars. Thus, the intent is to help reduce congestion in the neighborhood by removing the parent drop off queue from the surrounding streets and onto the site, as well as having bus zones that accommodate all the required buses. Parking is provided on the site surrounded by these vehicular circulation routes and bordered by landscape screening and preserved significant trees. Grass Crete will be utilized on the required fire lane to help reduce the impact of site paving. All water on site will be infiltrated through landscape swales and rain gardens. Sidewalks are provided from the street to the entries and around the building to provide a pedestrian -friendly site and a building that is accessible to all. These sidewalks are placed to minimize interaction between pedestrians and vehicles. The building character is born in response to the dark Northwest winters. High windows and skylights are designed to bring in as much natural light as possible and to balance the light within the space. Its roofline is enhanced with soaring butterfly roofs at key moments in the architectural rhythm. This combined with building and material modulation help break down its massing. The main entry is highlighted by a butterfly roof and lots of transparency. Entries are further delineated with canopies that help bring the scale down to the pedestrian level while maintaining the visibility requirements of the school staff to the building's surroundings. The material palette for the building helps to further reduce the scale by accenting the formal characteristics of the arrangement. Masonry anchors the buildings base and provides importance to selected building forms. Painted cement panels are used up higher to maintain the permanence but add a lighter appearance to the structure. Natural wood further enhances the character by adding a quality of warmth to the composition. Common spaces are provided for School use during the day and will be available for scheduled community use after hours. There is a large court yard on the West side of the building adjacent to the Multi-purpose room. These two spaces can be combined by opening wide overhead doors between them forming a free -flaw of space from inside to out greatly enhancing the use of this facility. As well there is a planned inclusive playground as a joint venture between the Renton School District and the City of Renton on the South East end of the site on property shared with the adjacent Community Center. The final open space on the site is a small field on the North end of the property where sports and other activities can take place. 'These i open spaces help to transition the building to the surrounding community by adding amenities of which the neighboring residential properties can take advantage. The neighborhood surrounding the existing Hillcrest School is zoned for high density re -development. The character and style of this building will set a precedent for new developments on the surrounding streets. As this neighborhood transforms the services offered at the new Renton Early Childhood Learning Center will continue to be an invaluable cultural resource within the community helping to empower to the earliest learners in the district with the skills needed to succeed at higher levels. Construction Mitigation Descriptions; Renton School District Early Childhood Learning Center F,w 2�; The Renton Early Childhood Learning Center's construction is proposed to occur within the following parameters: `; • The present Hillcrest Early Childhood Center housed on the site will remain in ' use during construction.

Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. The School District is proposing the Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) as a project action that is consistent with and contemplated by the District's Capital Facilities Plan. The proposal involves the demolition of the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center and associated outbuildings, relocation of three double classroom portables off-site, removal of existing site improvements, and the construction of the new ECLC. The existing site occupies two parcels that are in the process of being combined into one parcel. The total site and project work area is 324,953 square feet (7.46 acres) with the addition of approximately 20,000 square feet (0.46 acres) of the NHCC for the inclusive playground facility. The existing use is a K-12 public school district educational facility and this use will remain unchanged. The new building will include the Early Childhood/ Special Education Preschool program, Head Start and the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP). In addition to twenty-two classrooms with associated workrooms and storage areas arranged into three separate wings, the new building will include a multipurpose room, as well as a kitchen, conference rooms, maintenance rooms, and support offices. There will be approximately 450 students and approximately 75 staff in the new facility. The existing one-story masonry school building has a gross area of 38,588 square feet, not including the three double classroom portables behind the building. There are approximately 58 parking spaces existing on the site. The new building will have a gross area of approximately 68,752 square feet with a total approximate gross area of 71,645 square feet if the alternate is constructed. There will be approximately 93 parking stalls accessed by SEPA Environmental Checklist - Page 6 FINAL VERSION RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, NO. 403 Environmental Checklist Form separate entry and exit driveways from Index Avenue Northeast and Harrington Avenue Northeast and 10 bus loading spaces accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Northeast 16th Street and 9 bus loading spaces accessed by separate entry and exit driveways from Harrington Avenue Northeast. The proposed project will provide 10 bicycle parking spaces, which is equal to ten percent of the number of required off-street parking spaces. The first part of the project will involve the removal of the double classroom portables, the demolition of the play shed and removal of all site improvements in the eastern portion of the site. During the first part of the project, the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center will remain in use until the new ECLC building is constructed on the eastern portion of the site and is ready to be occupied. During the second part of the construction, the old building will be demolished and the site improvements will be completed on the western portion of the site. The thirty-seven parking spaces located west of the existing Hillcrest Early Childhood Center are expected to remain in use until the original building is torn down. The School District will work to ensure that construction impacts are minimized for the students using the facility during construction. In cooperation with the City of Renton, the Renton School District will construct an inclusive playground facility that will occupy a portion of the southeast ECLC project site and extend into the western portion of the adjacent NHCC. The intent would be to bid and build the inclusive playground as part of the ECLC project for cost efficiencies. The party's rights and responsibilities with respect to the inclusive playground will be established by an interlocal agreement. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any pians required SEPA Environmental Checklist - Page 7 FINAL VERSION RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, NO. 403 Environmental Checklist Form by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist.

ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS 1. EARTH a. General description of the site (underline one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other. b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? The steepest slope on the site is approximately 25 percent in a very small embankment in the southwest corner of the project site. C. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, and muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland. Existing soils and related conditions are addressed on pages 3-1 and 3-2 of the FEIS. However, the FEIS provides an insufficient analysis of these conditions for purposes of the proposed action. Therefore, Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. prepared the Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report and follow-up Memorandum for the District. Please refer to the above-mentioned reports for additional information regarding the on-site soils. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. No, there are no indications of unstable soil in the vicinity. e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. Grading will be required to prepare the site for the proposed improvements. Fill will be necessary to support the proposed pavement, building and to augment previously placed fill. Based upon the current site plan, it is anticipated that the project will need approximately 5,100 cubic yards of fill. The contractor for the project will be required to obtain the fill from an approved source. SEPA Environmental Checklist - Page 9 FINAL VERSION RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, NO. 403 Environmental Checklist Form f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. Yes, erosion could occur because of clearing and construction. However, the implementation of a temporary sediment and erosion control plan using Best Management Practices found in the City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual will sufficiently mitigate this impact. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? It is anticipated that approximately 64 percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after the completion of the proposed improvements. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: The proposal will follow the stormwater management design criteria outlined in the City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual and erosion and sediment control plans will be developed in accordance with the standards referenced by the City of Renton. These measures include stockpile covering, catch basin protection, silt fence, construction exit, and temporary construction runoff storage facilities. The proposal will apply erosion -control best management practices (BMPs), as described in Appendix D of the City of Renton Amendments to the King County Surface Water Design Manual. There are no geological hazard areas on the site, so no mitigation measures are needed. Existing earth material suitable for construction of the new building and site improvements will be re -used on the site. SEPA Environmental Checklist - Page 10 FINAL VERSION RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, NO. 403 Environmental Checklist Form P�11110 a.

If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. Air quality impacts are discussed on pages 3-3 to 3-6 of the FEIS. Demolition and construction activities at the site could stir up dust particles. Construction vehicles and equipment will also be a potential source of exhaust emissions. Both demolition and construction activities will follow the appropriate regulations for controlling emissions to the air. After project completion, the primary sources and amounts of emissions will be about the same as they are now. b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. There are no known off-site sources of emissions or odors observed that might effect this proposal. C. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: The contractor will implement an air quality control plan, which will include BMPs to control fugitive dust and odors emitted by construction equipment. Potential BMPs include using water sprays or other non-toxic dust control methods on unpaved roadways, minimize vehicle speed while traveling on unpaved surfaces, prevent track out of mud onto public streets, cover soil piles when practical, and minimize work during periods of high winds. Additionally, to minimize air quality and odor issues caused by tailpipe emissions, BMPs will be required. Such BMPs include maintaining engines of construction equipment while also minimizing the idling of construction equipment.

Water Runoff (including storm water) 1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. Stormwater runoff is discussed on pages 3-10 and 3-11 of the FEIS. However, the FEIS provided an insufficient analysis of these conditions for purposes of the proposed action. Therefore, the School District retained Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. to prepare a Technical Memorandum on August 15, 2011 that assessed infiltration field data and infiltration system design recommendations for the project. Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. prepared a Summary of Additional Borings in Planned Playground Area on November 9, 2011. Using the Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. analysis, a storm drainage plan will be prepared in accordance with the City of Renton requirements. The site will be graded to drain to a storm catch basin or directly into a storm water swale or rain garden. The catch basins, swale, and rain gardens will connect to an SEPA Environmental Checklist - Page 13 FINAL VERSION RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, NO, 403 Environmental Checklist Form underground infiltration system that will allow the water to infiltrate into the site soils. Runoff from pollution generating surfaces will be treated by the swale or rain gardens prior to infiltration. Runoff from the roof will be tightlined directly to the infiltration systems. 2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. There is a potential for waste material to enter the surface waters: Pollutants from automobiles and buses could also enter ground and surface waters if not handled properly. The proposed site improvements do not propose any waste materials to enter ground or surface waters. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground_, and runoff water impacts, if any: As noted above, the project will install a comprehensive storm drainage system in accordance with the City of Renton drainage requirements in effect at the time of the project application. All storm water will be contained and infiltrated on-site. Because all of the stormwater generated by the project will infiltrate on-site, no off-site stormwater mitigation measures are required. 4.

McBryan, P.E.; Principal and Vice Presidera_t-.-.. /, This memorandum presents trip generation and transportation mitigation fee estimates for the Renton School District's proposed Early Childhood Learning Center (ECL.C). 1. Project Description The Renton School District is proposing to replace and expand the Hiilcrest Early Childhood Center. The existing school building was originally constructed as an elementary school in 1453. It is located at 1800 Index Avenue NE in Renton and has a building with 38,588 square feet (sf) and three double portables totaling about 5,400 sf. The existing school site also has 58 parking stalls. The school is currently home to the Hillcrest Inclusive Pre -School program with 376 students and the Hillcrest Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) with 80 students. Inclusive Pre -School and ECEAP students attend half- day sessions with the morning period from 9:15 A.M. to 12:15 P.M. and the afternoon session from I :15 to 4:15 P.M. The District provides school bus transportation for students to and from the site. The proposed project would redevelop the site and replace the existing school building and portables with a new building. The proposed new Early Childhood Learning Center building is planned to be about 68,370 sf with 93 on-site parking stalls. It would continue to house the two existing programs that are on site (Hillcrest Pre -School and ECEAP). In addition, the Spring Glen Mead Start program (currently with 162 students attending half-day morning sessions) would be relocated into the new building. The new school is being designed to accommodate up to 450 students at one time and 90 employees. The new school building is planned to occupied by fall 2013. 2. Traffic Generation Traffic generation estimates for the new school were determined in order to apply the City of Renton's Transportation Mitigation Fee. City of Renton Development Services Division staff indicated that the City would accept trip generation estimates based on standard rates and equations for Elementary Schools (Land Use Code 520) from the Institute of Transportation Engineers' [ITE's] Trip Generation. I As outlined in the City of Renton's Transportation Mitigation Fee Resolution #3100, development project trip estimates are to be calculated using the 7th Edition of ITE's Trip Generation. The fee rate is based on the number of new average daily trips generated by a proposed project. For this project, the published equations based on building area were used to provide the most appropriate means to estimate the net change in site traffic generation. l Email communication from Neil Watts, Director Development Services Division, November 1, 201 1_ 6544 NE 61st Street, Seattle, WA 98115 Phone: (206) 523-3939 Fax: (206) 523-4949 Renton School District's L Childhood Learning Center hel---on Trip Generation Transportation Mitigation pee The net change in site traffic generation is determined as the difference between existing and proposed conditions. Table 1 shows the daily trip generation estimates for the existing school, the proposed replacement school, and the net change in trips resulting from the project. As shown, the project is expected to generate a net increase of 310 average daily trips. Table 1.

Box 4158 Federal Way, Washington 98063 Attention: Mr. Calvin Gasaway Subject: Summary of Additional Borings in Planned Playground Area Early Childhood Learning Center 1800 Index Avenue NE Renton, Washington Dear Mr. Gasaway: This letter summarizes supplementary exploration borings in the proposed new playground area associated with the above -referenced project. This work is supplementary to our earlier work on- site, which has included completion of subsurface explorations and preparation of a geotechnical engineering report dated November 18, 2010, completion of supplementary exploration borings on the north part of the site summarized in a letter dated August 17, 21011, and completion of infiltration rate testing to support site storm water design. This letter should be considered supplementary to our earlier geotechnical engineering report and addenda, BACKGROUND Our earlier subsurface exploration program on-site identified subsurface conditions generally characterized by lodgement till that was typically on the order of 8 to 14 feet thick, underlain by advance outwash sediments that will be used as the storm water receptor. During our initial subsurface exploration program, we identified one location on the north part of the site where existing fill was present. We later completed a supplementary exploration program on the north part of the site to delineate existing fill, and identified existing fill at several locations ranging up to 8 feet below existing grades. Construction of a new playground complex was recently added to the project. The new playground will occupy portions of the existing school site, as well as the adjacent park.

ADDITIONAL SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS We completed two additional subsurface exploration borings for this phase of work labeled EB -16 and EB -17. Attached with this letter are a "Vicinity Map," Figure 1, showing the site location, and a "Site and Exploration Plan," Figure 2, which depicts all of the explorations completed on- site to date. Logs of the additional subsurface exploration borings completed for this phase of work are also attached. One should refer to our earlier reports for logs of previously completed explorations. In general, the additional exploration borings encountered very dense lodgement till and lodgement till/advance outwash transitional sediments at shallow depths, underlain by advance outwash sediments at depths of approximately 13 feet below the ground surface. At the location of exploration boring EB -16, the native soils were covered by a layer of existing fill approximately 4 feet thick. A surficial layer of sod and topsoil was encountered at each of the additional borings completed during this phase, with observed topsoil thickness of approximately 8 inches. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Playground Areas We anticipate that the planned playground structure will impose relatively light foundation loads on the subsurface soils. We recommend that existing play chips, grass, and topsoil be removed from planned construction areas. The area should be excavated to planned subgrade elevation as needed. Once stripping any required excavation to subgrade elevation has been completed, we recommend that the existing fill be addressed. We recommend that the subgrade be proof -rolled with a loaded dump truck or other suitable equipment. If satisfactory proof -rolling results are observed, no further preparation is necessary, in our opinion. Any soft, rutting, or yielding areas may require additional preparation. Additional preparation will likely include removal and replacement of all or a portion of the yielding materials. Once the recommended site preparation procedures have been completed, we recommend that foundation and fill subgrades be compacted to 95 % of the modified Proctor maximum dry density, and to a firm and unyielding condition. Structural Fill, as defined in our comprehensive geotechnical engineering report for the project, may then be placed to raise grades, as needed, to meet project goals. Areas prepared as described maybe assumed to support allowable foundation loads of up to 1,500 pounds per square foot (psf) with 1 inch of allowable settlement.

Play Area Paving Below any playground paving, we recommend completing stripping and excavation to paving subgrade elevation. The resulting surface should be proof -rolled and compacted to 95% of the modified Proctor maximum dry density, Any soft, yielding, or organic areas should receive additional preparation, as dictated by field conditions at the time of construction. The paving sections recommended in our comprehensive geotechnical engineering report can then be constructed as planned. If the pavement areas will not be subjected to wheeled vehicles or maintenance equipment and will be used for playground purposes only, it would be possible to reduce the planned pavement section to 2 inches of Class 1/2 inch Hot Mix Asphalt above 4 inches of Crushed Surfacing Top Course if desired.

Subject: Preliminary Design Infiltration Rate The purpose of this memo is to summarize our infiltration field data and infiltration system design recommendations for the project. For this study, we completed infiltration rate testing in four excavated pits. Stratigraphy Vashon advance outwash was encountered beneath Vashon lodgement till at most of the locations in the area of the proposed building and in each of the excavations made for construction of test pit drains. Vashon advance outwash consists of sands and gravels deposited in lakes and melt water streams during the advancing phase of the Frasier Glaciation. The outwash deposits were subsequently compacted by the weight of the overlying glacial ice. Advance outwash deposits typically exhibit gradational stratification, including stringers consisting of silt and/or silty sand. Such stratification has the potential to limit advance outwash sediments from performing well as an infiltration receptor. The construction of infiltration pit drains, as recommended in this memo, penetrates low permeability fine grained interbeds and substantially improves the ability of advance outwash to serve as an infiltration receptor. The depth of the advance outwash sediments varies across the site. At the infiltration test locations, the depth to these sediments ranged from 4.5 feet (ft) below ground surface to 16 ft below ground surface. Infiltration Testing Generally, the infiltration testing method consisted of cutting the existing sod at the proposed testing locations and excavating pits with the track -mounted excavator. The pits were excavated with an approximate area of 2.5 feet wide by 6.5 to 9 feet long, with approximate depths of 16.5 to 18 feet, and had relatively vertical sidewalls and flat bottoms. Water was provided by an on-site fire hydrant. The first phase of testing consisted of pre-test soaking followed by a constant head flow testing phase. Water was introduced through an electronic flow meter with instantaneous and total flow readout. The water level in the pits was monitored in a polyvinylehloride (PVC) sounding pipe, placed on the bottom of the pit, with an electronic water level meter. Water was allowed to rise in the pit until the water level reached the top of the receptor in order to simulate proposed facility conditions. After the water level reached the target level, the flow Kirkland Off Ice • 911 Fifth Avenue, Suite 104 • Kirkland, WA 98033 • P 1 (475) 827-7701 • F 1 X4251 827 5424 Eve, eft Ofi;ce • 2911112 Hewitt Avenue, Suite 2 • Everett, WA 98201 • P I (425) 259-0522 • F 1 (425) 252 3408 Tacoma Office • 805 Martin LuVier King Jr. %Nay • Tacoma, WA 98405 • P 1 (253) 722 2992 • F 1 (253) 722-299: ti�ww. ae ,eco. roa7� Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. Technical Memorandum was reduced in order to maintain a constant water level (constant head). The duration of the constant head phase was generally 4 hours. Readings of the water level, instantaneous flow and total flow were recorded at approximately 15 minute intervals using a manual electronic flow meter, and on 15 minute intervals with a pressure transducer. The final phase of testing, the falling head phase, began by discontinuing the water flow immediately after the constant head phase. After discontinuing water flow, water levels were monitored with both manual electronic water level meter and pressure transducer methods. The duration of this phase varied depending on the infiltration rate. Recommendations Based on the performance of infiltration tests, it is AESI's opinion that the on-site Vashon Advance Outwash sediments are suitable for the proposed infiltration pit drain. For preliminary design purposes, we anticipate that a pit with dimensions of at least 3 feet wide by 10 feet long and 24 feet deep will have the capacity to dispose of 0.020 cubic feet per second (cfs) of storm water. We anticipate that construction of the pit drains will be performed by a large excavator working at arms reach. Trench excavations are currently planned for construction with near -vertical sidewalls and immediate backfilling of the excavated pit. Based on the observed soil conditions in our explorations, this method of construction is expected to be feasible. However, areas where we previously excavated trenches for testing purposes may require sloping or some other form of shoring, if necessary, due to the loosely placed existing backfill. Upon reaching the total depth of excavation for each pit, the trench should be backfilled with free -draining granular material, such as clean, washed pea gravel or other free -draining material, as specified below. A sample of the free -draining material should be made available to AESI at least 1 week prior to drain construction, so that laboratory tests can be performed, as needed. After drain backfilling and prior to installing surface treatments, the pea gravel must be water -settled to minimize settlement of the pea gravel backfill once the facility is -on- line." AES[ must be present during excavation of the facility and during drain testing. The final engineering design For the storm water facility must be reviewed by AESI to confirm the conclusions and opinions as contained in this memo.

PROJECT AND SITE CONDITIONS 1.0 INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of our subsurface exploration, geologic hazards, preliminary geotechnical engineering, and storm water infiltration feasibility studies for the proposed Early Childhood Center_ The site location is shown on the "Vicinity Map," Figure 1. The approximate locations of exploration borings completed for this study are shown on the "Site and Exploration Plan," Figure 2. Logs of the subsurface explorations and copies of laboratory test results completed for this study are included in the Appendix. 1.1 Purpose and Scqp� The purpose of this study was to provide geotechnical engineering design recommendations to be utilized in the preliminary design of the project, and to provide infiltration feasibility recommendations to guide concept and design development phases of the project. This study included a review of selected available geologic literature, advancing seven hollow -stem auger soil borings, installing one ground water observation well, and performing geologic studies to assess the type, thickness, distribution, and physical properties of the subsurface sediments and shallow ground water. Geotechnical engineering studies were completed to establish recommendations for the type of suitable foundations and floors, allowable foundation soil bearing pressure, anticipated foundation and floor settlement, pavement recommendations, and drainage considerations. We also completed a limited study regarding the feasibility of infiltrating storm water generated by the new project. This report summarizes our fieldwork and offers preliminary geotechnical engineering and infiltration feasibility recommendations based on our present understanding of the project. We recommend that we be allowed to review the recommendations presented in this report and revise them, if needed, when a project design has been developed. 1.2 Authorization Authorization to proceed with this study was granted by Mr. Calvin Gasaway of Greene Gasaway Architects, PLLC. Our work was completed in general accordance with our scope of work and cost proposal, dated September 10, 2010. This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Greene Gasaway Architects, PLLC, the Renton School District (District), and their agents for specific application to this project. Within the limitations of scope, schedule, and budget, our services have been perforated in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering, engineering geology, and hydrogeology practices in effect in this area at the time our report was prepared. No other warranty, express or implied, is made. November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. BWGlrb - KE100287A2 - ProjecW20100287WEMP Page 1 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton Washington Project and Site Conditions 2.0 PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION The project site is that of the existing Early Childhood Center, which is housed in a building previously used as an elementary school and middle school. We understand that the proposed project will include demolition of all of the existing buildings and construction of a new Early Childhood Center facility. No project concept had been prepared when this report was written. Storm water management plans has also not been formulated. We anticipate that the new facility will include low rise buildings with foundation loads typical of local school construction. We anticipate that the new buildings will be constructed close to existing grades without the need for substantial earthwork cuts or fills. The existing facility includes permanent and portable buildings along the west side of the site, existing paved parking areas west and northeast of the main buildings, and paved and unpaved play areas east of the existing school. A natural turf soccer field is located north and east of the existing buildings. The site is relatively flat, with overall vertical relief visually estimated at less than 10 feet. The site does not appear to contain areas that will trigger geotechnical critical areas regulations related to steep slopes or seismic hazards. 3.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION Our subsurface exploration completed for this project included advancing seven hollow -stem auger soil borings and installing one ground water observation well. The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based on the explorations completed for this study. The locations and depths of the explorations were completed within site and budget constraints. 3.1 Exploration Borings The exploration borings were completed by advancing hollow -stem auger tools with a track - mounted drill rig. During the drilling process, samples were obtained at generally 2.5- to 5 -foot -depth intervals. The exploration borings were continuously observed and logged by a representative from our firm. The exploration logs presented in the Appendix are based on the field logs, drilling action, and inspection of the samples secured. Disturbed but representative samples were obtained by using the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) procedure in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM):D 1586. This test and sampling method consists of driving a standard, 2 -inch outside -diameter, split -barrel sampler a distance of 18 inches into the soil with a 140 -pound hammer free -falling a distance of 30 inches, The number of blows for each 6 -inch interval is November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. BWGab - KFl00287,12 - Prgjerrs1201002871KDWP Page 2 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton, Washington Project and Site Conditions recorded, and the number of blows required to drive the sampler the final 12 inches is known as the Standard Penetration Resistance ("N") or blow count. If a total of 54 is recorded within one 6 -inch interval, the blow count is recorded as the number of blows for the corresponding number of inches of penetration. The resistance, or N -value, provides a measure of the relative density of granular soils or the relative consistency of cohesive soils; these values are plotted on the attached exploration boring logs. The samples obtained from the split -barrel sampler were classified in the field and representative portions placed in watertight containers. The samples were then transported to our Iaboratory for further visual classification. 4.4 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Subsurface conditions at the project site were inferred from the field explorations accomplished for this study, visual reconnaissance of the site, and review of selected applicable geologic literature. Because of the nature of exploratory work below ground, extrapolation of subsurface conditions between field explorations is necessary. It should be noted that differing subsurface conditions may sometimes be present due to the random nature of deposition and the alteration of topography by past grading and/or filling. The nature and extent of any variations between the field explorations may not become fully evident until construction. 4.1 Stratigraphy Surficial Topsoil Our exploration borings which were completed in unpaved areas generally encountered approximately 6 to 8 inches of topsoil and grass. Topsoil is not suitable for structural support, and should be stripped from structural areas. Excavated topsoil may be suitable for reuse in landscape areas. Existing Paving Existing paving was encountered at two of the exploration locations. Measured pavement thickness is shown on the exploration logs, and ranged from 1.5 to 2 inches. Fill Existing fill was encountered in one of our exploration borings (EB -7) to a depth of approximately 7 feet below the existing ground surface. The existing fill was observed to be November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. BWG/ib - KE100287A2 - ProjecW 2010028PKENP Page 3 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton Washington Project and Site Conditions loose, and appeared to consist primarily of materials derived on-site and moved or disturbed during earlier site work. It is worth noting that historical site plans depict houses that previously existed in the vicinity of EB -7. It seems likely that the existing fill will extend along the north side of the site in the vicinity of the houses that were demolished. The houses do not appear on the oldest, readily available aerial photograph taken in 1990, and must have been demolished prior to then. The existing fill is loose and will require removal or other remedial preparation below planned building areas and remedial preparation below planned paving. Lodgement Till Each of the exploration borings except EB -7 encountered medium dense to very dense silty sand with gravel, interpreted as Vashon lodgement till. The lodgement till observed in our explorations was relatively more oxidized, and less dense than is typical for lodgement till sediments. These variations are likely related to the contact with the underlying advance outwash sediments. From an engineering standpoint, the lodgement till observed in our exploration borings can be expected to perform in a manner similar to typical lodgement till sediments. Lodgement till was deposited at the base of an active continental glacier and was compacted by the weight of the overlying glacial ice. Lodgement till is suitable for structural support when properly prepared. Excavated lodgement till material is suitable for use in structural fill applications if suitable moisture conditions are achieved and if specifically allowed by project plans and specifications, which will require drying during favorable dry weather. At the time of exploration, we estimate that most of the lodgement till soils that we observed were at or above optimum moisture content for compaction purposes, and therefore, will require drying during favorable weather prior to compaction in structural fill applications. Advance outwash Each of the exploration borings encountered dense to very dense granular sediments, typically below a lodgement till cap, that were interpreted to represent advance outwash sediments. Advance outwash was deposited at the base of an advancing glacier, and was subsequently compacted by the weight of the overlying glacial ice. Advance outwash is suitable for support of shallow foundations and paving with proper preparation. Excavated advance outwash sediments are expected to be suitable for reuse in structural fill applications if specifically allowed by project plans and specifications, and are expected to be moisture -sensitive, though somewhat less moisture -sensitive than lodgment till sediments. It should be noted that due to the depth below existing grade where advance outwash sediments were observed, it is unlikely that they will provide direct foundation support for a substantial part of the project. It is also November 78, 2070 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. DWG/rb - KE100287A2 - Projeav 12010028TKD WP Page 4 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton Washington Project and Site Conditions unlikely that excavated advance outwash sediments will be available for reuse in structural fill applications in significant quantity. Published Geologic Map We reviewed a published geologic map of the area (Geologic Map of King County, Washington, by Derek B. Booth, Kathy A. Troost, and Aaron P. Wisher, 2006). The referenced map indicates that the site is expected to be underlain by lodgement till, with recessional outwash snapped to the west, and advance outwash mapped to the east along the May Creek drainage and its tributaries. 4.2 Hydrology We did not encounter substantial ground water in our explorations at the time of drilling. Isolated perched seepage zones were observed in some locations and are noted on the subsurface exploration logs in the Appendix. We constructed a well in exploration boring EB -1. Establishing a known unsaturated thickness of advance outwash sediments can be valuable in infiltration system design, and data from the well in EB -1 are expected to provide such evidence. Ground water is expected to occur seasonally at this site "perched" above the underlying lodgement till and advance outwash sediments, and possibly above existing fills. Perched ground water occurs when vertical infiltration is impeded by less -permeable soil layers, resulting in horizontal flow. The quantity and duration of perched ground water flow from an excavation will vary, depending on season, soil gradation, and adjacent topography. Ground water conditions should be expected to vary in response to changes in precipitation, on- and off-site land usage, and other factors. 4.3 Laboratory Testing As a part of our investigation of the infiltration potential of the site soils, we completed three laboratory grain size analyses. Copies of the grain size analyses reports are included in the Appendix. 4.4 Infiltration Potential The site is underlain by lodgement till, which is in turn underlain by advance outwash sediments. Lodgement till is silty and dense, and is not suitable for use as a storm water infiltration receptor. Advance outwash is suitable for use as an infiltration receptor under some circumstances. At this site, the depth below the existing ground surface where advance November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC, MOO - KE100287A2 - Projeas 12010028MEMP Page 5 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton, Washington Project and Site Conditions outwash sediments were observed in our exploration borings ranged from approximately 8 to 14 feet. The single deep exploration boring completed for this study, EB -1, encountered advance outwash sediments to the full depth explored of 61.5 feet. We installed a well in EB -1, and did not observe water in the well at the time of drilling or on the following day. We will continue to sound the well for water periodically through the winter of 2010 — 2011. The advance outwash sediments we observed typically consisted of sand with relatively small amounts of silt and gravel, and with some gradational stratification that is typical of advance outwash sediments. In our opinion, the advance outwash we observed in our initial explorations is well suited to storm water infiltration using deeper infiltration strategies, such as infiltration trenches, rock --filled "pit drains", or UIC wells. Use of any of these infiltration methods in a final design should be based on an infiltration study that is specific to the infiltration system design and location. We are available to work with the project civil engineer to help develop a preliminary storm water management plan, and to formulate an infiltration study that is consistent with the preliminary plan.

GEOLOGIC HAZARDS AND MITIGATIONS The following discussion of potential geologic hazards is based on the geologic, slope, and ground and surface water conditions, as observed and discussed herein. The discussion will be limited to slope stability, seismic, and erosion issues. 5.0 SLOPE HAZARDS AND MITIGATIONS In our opinion, no slopes on or adjacent to the site meet applicable definitions for management as critical areas in accordance with Renton Municipal Code Section 4-3-050. No detailed slope stability analysis was completed for this study, and none is warranted, in our opinion. 6.0 SEISMIC HAZARDS AND MITIGATIONS The site does not contain areas that meet City of Renton definitions for high seismic hazard areas. The following discussion is a more general assessment of seismic hazards that is intended to be useful to the District in terms of understanding seismic issues, and to the structural engineer for final structural design. Earthquakes occur regularly in the Puget Lowland. The majority of these events are small and are usually not felt by people. However, large earthquakes do occur, as evidenced by the 1949, 7.2 -magnitude event; the 2001, 6.$ -magnitude event; and the 1965, 6.5 -magnitude event. The 1949 earthquake appears to have been the largest in this region during recorded history and was centered in the Olympia area. Evaluation of earthquake return rates indicates that an earthquake of the magnitude between 5.5 and 6.0 is likely within a given 20 -year period. Generally, there are four types of potential geologic hazards associated with large seismic events: 1) surficial ground rupture, 2) seismically induced landslides, 3) liquefaction, and 4) ground motion. The potential for each of these hazards to adversely impact the proposed project is discussed below. 6.1 Surficial Ground Rupture Generally, the largest earthquakes that have occurred in the Puget Sound area are sub -crustal events with epicenters ranging from 50 to 70 kilometers in depth. Earthquakes that are generated at such depths usually do not result in fault rupture at the ground surface. Current November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. BWGAb - KEr00287A2 - Projects 1201002871KE1WP Page 7 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton, Washington Geologic Hazards and Mitigations research indicates that surficial ground rupture is possible in areas close to the Seattle Fault Zone. Although our current understanding of this fault zone is limited and is an active area of research, the site lies south of the currently recognized limits of the Seattle Fault Zone. Therefore, based on current information, the risk of damage to planned improvements as a result of surface rupture due to faulting is low, in our opinion. 6.2 Seismically Induced Landslides It is our opinion that the potential risk of damage to the proposed development by seismically induced slope failures is low due to the lack of significant slopes on and adjacent to the site. 6.3 Liquefaction, Liquefaction is a process through which unconsolidated soil loses strength as a result of vibrations, such as those which occur during a seismic event. During normal conditions, the weight of the soil is supported by both grain -to -grain contacts and by the fluid pressure within the pore spaces of the soil below the water table. Extreme vibratory shaking can disrupt the grain -to -grain contact, increase the pore pressure, and result in a temporary decrease in soil shear strength. The soil is said to be liquefied when nearly all of the weight of the soil is supported by pore pressure alone. Liquefaction can result in deformation of the sediment and settlement of overlying structures. Areas most susceptible to liquefaction include those areas underlain by non -cohesive silt and sand with low relative densities, accompanied by a shallow water table. The subsurface conditions encountered at the site pose little risk of liquefaction due to relatively high density of the lodgement till and advance outwash, high silt content of the lodgement till, and lack of significant ground water observed in our explorations. No detailed liquefaction analysis was completed as part of this final study, and none is warranted, in our opinion. 6.4 Ground Motion Structural design of buildings should follow 2009 International Building Code (IBC) standards using Site Class "C" in accordance with Table 1613.5.2. The 2009 IBC mapped spectral accelerations for short period (Ss) and 1 -second period (Si) spectral acceleration values were determined by the latitude and longitude of the project sites using the United States Geological Survey (USGS) software utility Seismic Hazard Curves and Uniform Response Spectra. The USGS software interpolated ground motions at the project site as follows for periods of 0.2 and 1.0 seconds, respectively, with a 2 percent chance of exceedence in 50 years: Ss = 1.434, November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. BWG0 - KE100287A3 - Projects 12olOM KEVWP Page 8 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton, Washington Geologic Hazards and Mitigations Si = 0.490. Based on 2009 IBC tables 1613.5.3 (1) and (2), an Fa value of 1.0 and an F,, value of 1.31 should be used. 7.0 EROSION HAZARDS AND MITIGATIONS The site contains soils that meet City of Renton definitions for Erosion Hazard Areas. The following discussion addresses Washington State Department of Ecology erosion control regulations that will be applicable to the project. The State requirements are relatively new and are extensive. We anticipate that if the project complies with State requirements, it will also be acceptable with respect to City of Renton requirements. As of October 1, 2006, the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) Construction Storm Water General Permit (also known as the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System [NPDES] permit) requires weekly Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control (TESC) inspections and turbidity monitoring for all sites 1 or more acres in size that discharge storm water to surface waters of the state. Because we anticipate that the proposed project will require disturbance of more than one acre, we anticipate that these inspection and reporting requirements will be triggered. The following recommendations are related to general erosion potential and mitigation. The erosion potential of the site soils is high. The most effective erosion control measure is the maintenance of adequate ground cover. Maintaining cover measures atop disturbed ground provides the greatest reduction to the potential generation of turbid runoff and sediment transport. During the local wet season (October 161 through March 31"), exposed soil should not remain uncovered for more than 2 days unless it is actively being worked. Ground -cover measures can include erosion control matting, plastic sheeting, straw mulch, crushed rock or recycled concrete, or mature hydroseed. Some fine-grained surface soils are the result of natural weathering processes that have broken down parent materials into their mineral components. These mineral components can have an inherent electrical charge. Electrically charged mineral fines will attract oppositely charged particles and can combine (flocculate) to form larger particles that will settle out of suspension. The sediments produced during the recent glaciation of Puget Sound are, however, most commonly the suspended soils that are carried by site storm water. The fine-grained fraction of the glacially derived soil is referred to as "rock flour," which is primarily a silt -sized particle with no electrical charge. These particles, once suspended in water, may have settling times in periods of months. November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. MG0 - KE100287A2 -Projects 1301002871 KEI WP Page 9 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibiliry Report Renton, Washington Geologic Hazards and Mitigations Therefore, the flow length within a temporary sediment control trap or pond has virtually no effect on the water quality of the discharge, since it will not settle out of suspension in the time it takes to flow from one end of the pond to the other. Reduction of turbidity from a construction site is almost entirely a function of cover measures and flow control. Temporary sediment traps and ponds are necessary to control the release rate of the rulloff and to provide a catchment for sand -sized and larger soil particles, but are very ineffective at reducing the turbidity of the runoff. To mitigate the erosion hazards and potential for off-site sediment transport, we recommend the following: 1. The winter performance of a site is dependent on a well -conceived plan for control of site erosion and storm water runoff. It is easier to keep the soil on the ground than to remove it from storm water. The owner and the design team should include adequate ground -cover measures, access roads, and staging areas in the project bid to give the selected contractor a workable site. The selected contractor needs to be prepared to implement and maintain the required measures to reduce the amount of exposed ground. A site maintenance plan should be in place in the event storm water turbidity measurements are greater than the Ecology standards. 2. All TESC measures for a given area, to be graded or otherwise worked, should be installed prior to any activity within that area. The recommended sequence of construction within a given area would be to install sediment traps and/or ponds and establish perimeter flow control prior to starting mass grading. 3. During the wetter months of the year, or when large storm events are predicted during the summer months, each work area should be stabilized so that if showers occur, the work area can receive the rainfall without excessive erosion or sediment transport. The required measures for an area to be "buttoned -up" will depend on the time of year and the duration the area will be left un -worked. During the winter months, areas that are to be left un -worked for more than 2 days should be mulched or covered with plastic. During the summer months, stabilization will usually consist of seal -rolling the subgrade. Such measures will aid in the contractor's ability to get back into a work area after a storm event. The stabilization process also includes establishing temporary storm water conveyance charnels through work areas to route runoff to the approved treatment facilities.

All disturbed areas should be revegetated as soon as possible. If it is outside of the growing season, the disturbed areas should be covered with mulch, as recommended in the erosion control plan. Straw mulch provides the most cost-effective cover measure and can be made wind -resistant with the application of a tackifier after it is placed. S. Surface runoff and discharge should be controlled during and following development. Uncontrolled discharge may promote erosion and sediment transport. Under no circumstances should concentrated discharges be allowed to flow over significant slopes. 6. Soils that are to be reused around the site should be stored in such a manner as to reduce erosion from the stockpile. Protective measures may include, but are not limited to, covering with plastic sheeting, the use of low stockpiles in flat areas, or the use of straw bales/silt fences around pile perimeters. During the period between October V and March 3151, these measures are required. 7. On-site erosion control inspections and turbidity monitoring should be performed in accordance with Ecology requirements. Weekly and monthly reporting to Ecology should be performed on a regularly scheduled basis. TESC monitoring should be part of the weekly construction team meetings. Temporary and permanent erosion control and drainage measures should be adjusted and maintained, as necessary, at the time of construction. It is our opinion that with the proper implementation of the TESC plans and by field -adjusting appropriate mitigation elements (BMPs) during construction, as recommended by the erosion control inspector, the potential adverse impacts from erosion hazards on the project may be mitigated.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS 8.0 INTRODUCTION Some portions of the site are underlain by a layer of surficial existing fill that is loose and variable. Existing fill is not suitable for support of new foundations and warrants remedial preparation where it occurs below paving and similar lightly loaded structures. Structural fill or native sediments are suitable for support of shallow foundations, floor slabs, and paving with proper preparation. 9.0 SITE PREPARATION Existing foundations, floor slabs, paving, buried utilities, vegetation, topsoil, and any other deleterious materials should be removed where they are located below planned construction areas. All disturbed soils resulting from demolition activities should be removed to expose underlying undisturbed native sediments and replaced with structural fill, as needed. All excavations below final grade made for demolition activities should be backfilled, as needed, with structural fill. Erosion and surface water control should be established around the clearing limits to satisfy local requirements. Once demolition has been completed, existing fill should be addressed. The observed fill depth in EB -7 was approximately 7 feet below existing grade. We anticipate that existing fill will also be present below and around the existing building, and associated with buried utilities. We recommend that existing fill be removed from below areas of planned foundations to expose underlying undisturbed native sediments, followed by restoration of the planned foundation grade with structural fill. Removal of existing fill should extend laterally beyond the building footprint by a distance equal to the depth of overexcavation. For example, if existing fill is removed to a depth of 2 feet below a planned footing area, the excavation should also extend laterally 2 feet beyond the footing limits. Care should be taken not to disturb support soils of existing foundations of structures that will remain. Support soils should be considered those soils within a prism projected downward and outward from existing footings at inclinations of 1H:1V (Horizontal: Vertical). Where existing fill is removed and replaced with structural fill, conventional shallow foundations may be used for building support. November 18, 20I0 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. BWGIM - KE)00287A3 - ProjeCIP20100187WEIWP Page 12 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton, Washington Preliminary Desmon Recotmnendations 9.1 Site Drainage and Surface Water Control The site should be graded to prevent water from ponding in construction areas and/or flowing into excavations. Exposed grades should be crowned, sloped, and smooth drum -rolled at the end of each day to facilitate drainage. Accumulated water must be removed from subgrades and work areas immediately prior to performing further work in the area. Equipment access may be limited, and the amount of soil rendered unfit for use as structural fill may be greatly increased, if drainage efforts are not accomplished in a timely sequence. If an effective drainage system is not utilized, project delays and increased costs could be incurred due to the greater quantities of wet and unsuitable fill, or poor access and unstable conditions. Our exploration borings did not encounter substantial free ground water at the time of exploration. We anticipate that perched ground water could be encountered in excavations completed during construction. We do not anticipate the need for extensive dewatering in advance of excavations. The contractor should be prepared to intercept any ground water seepage entering the excavations and route it to a suitable discharge location. Final exterior grades should promote free and positive drainage away from the buildings at all times. Water must not be allowed to pond or to collect adjacent to foundations or within the immediate building area. We recommend that a gradient of at least 3 percent for a minimum distance of 10 feet from the building perimeters be provided, except in paved locations. In paved locations, a minimum gradient of 1 percent should be provided, unless provisions are included for collection and disposal of surface water adjacent to the structures. 9.2 Subgrade Protection To the extent that it is possible, existing pavement should be used for construction staging areas. If building construction will proceed during the winter, we recommend the use of a working surface of sand and gravel, crushed rock, or quarry spalls to protect exposed soils, particularly in areas supporting concentrated equipment traffic. In winter construction staging areas and areas that will be subjected to repeated heavy loads, such as those that occur during construction of masonry walls, a minimum thickness of 12 inches of quarry spalls or 18 inches of pit run sand and gravel is recommended. If subgrade conditions are soft and silty, a geotextile separation fabric, such as Mirafi 500x or approved equivalent, should be used between the subgrade and the new fill. For building pads where floor slabs and foundation construction will be completed in the winter, a similar working surface should be used, composed of at least 6 inches of pit run sand and gravel or crushed rock. Construction of working surfaces from advancing fill pads could be used to avoid directly exposing the subgrade soils to vehicular traffic. November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. BWGRb - KE)00287A2 - ProjecW2010028 71KEI WP Page 13 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Cerner Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton, Washington Preliminary Design Recommendations Foundation subgrades may require protection from foot and equipment traffic and ponding of runoff during wet weather conditions. Typically, compacted crushed rock or a lean -mix concrete mat placed over a properly prepared subgrade provides adequate subgrade protection. Foundation concrete should be placed and excavations backfilled as soon as possible to protect the bearing surface. 9.3 Proof -Rolling and Subgrade Compaction Following the recommended demolition, site stripping, and planned excavation, the stripped subgrade within the building areas should be proof -rolled with heavy, rubber -tired construction equipment, such as a fully loaded tandem -axle dump truck. Proof -rolling should be performed prior to structural fill placement or foundation excavation. The proof -roll should be monitored by the geotechnical engineer so that any soft or yielding subgrade soils can be identified. Any soft/loose, yielding soils should be removed to a stable subgrade. The subgrade should then be scarified, adjusted in moisture content, and recompacted to the required density. Proof -rolling should only be attempted if soil moisture contents are at or near optimum moisture content. Proof -rolling of wet subgrades could result in further degradation. Low areas and excavations may then be raised to the planned finished grade with compacted structural fill. Subgrade preparation and selection, placement, and compaction of structural fill should be performed under engineering -controlled conditions in accordance with the project specifications. 9.4 4verexcavation/Stabilization Construction during extended wet weather periods could create the need to overexcavate exposed soils if they become disturbed and cannot be recompacted due to elevated moisture content and/or weather conditions. Even during dry weather periods, soft/wet soils, which may need to be overexcavated, may be encountered in some portions of the site. If overexcavation is necessary, it should be confirmed through continuous observation and testing by Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. (AESI). Soils that have become unstable may require remedial measures in the form of one or more of the following: 1. Drying and recompaction. Selective drying may be accomplished by scarifying or windrowing surficial material during extended periods of dry and warm weather. 2. Removal of affected soils to expose a suitable bearing subgrade and replacement with compacted structural fill. 3. Mechanical stabilization with a coarse -crushed aggregate compacted into the subgrade, possibly in conjunction with a geotextile. 4. Soil/cement admixture stabilization. November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. BWG0 - KE100287A2 - Frvjea5120100287W IWP Page 14 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton, Washington Preliminary Design Recommendations 9.5 Wet Weather Conditions If construction proceeds during an extended wet -weather construction period and the moisture - sensitive site soils become wet, they will become unstable. Therefore, the bids for site grading operations should be based upon the time of year that construction will proceed. It is expected that in wet conditions additional soils may need to be removed and/or other stabilization methods used, such as a coarse crushed -rock working mat, to develop a stable condition if silty subgrade soils are disturbed in the presence of excess moisture. The severity of construction disturbance will be dependent, in part, on the precautions that are taken by the contractor to protect the moisture- and disturbance -sensitive site soils. If overexcavation is necessary, it should be confirmed through continuous observation and testing by a representative of our firm. 9.6 Temporary and Permanent Cut Slopes In our opinion, stable construction slopes should be the responsibility of the contractor and should be determined during construction. For estimating purposes, however, we anticipate that temporary, unsupported cut slopes in the existing fill can be made at a maximum slope of 1.5HAV or flatter. Temporary slopes in unsaturated advance outwash sediments and lodgement till may be planned at 1H:1V. As is typical with earthwork operations, some sloughing and raveling may occur, and cut slopes may have to be adjusted in the field. If ground water seepage is encountered in cut slopes, or if surface water is not routed away from temporary cut slope faces, flatter slopes will be required. In addition, WISHA/OSHA regulations should be followed at all times. Permanent cut and structural fill slopes that are not intended to be exposed to surface water should be designed at inclinations of 2H: 1V or flatter. All permanent cut or fill slopes should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density, as determined by ASTM:D 1557, and the slopes should be protected from erosion by sheet plastic until vegetation cover can be established during favorable weather. 9.7 Frozen Subgrades If earthwork takes place during freezing conditions, all exposed subgrades should be allowed to thaw and then be recompacted prior to placing subsequent lifts of structural fill or foundation components. Alternatively, the frozen material could be stripped from the subgrade to reveal unfrozen soil prior to placing subsequent lifts of fill or foundation components. The frozen soil should not be reused as structural fill until allowed to thaw and adjusted to the proper moisture content, which may not be possible during winter months. November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC, 8WGltb - KE700287A2 - Projecif%2010028MEMP Page 15 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton, Washington_ Preliminary Design Recommendations 10.0 STRUCTURAL FILL All references to structural fill in this report refer to subgrade preparation, fill type and placement, and compaction of materials, as discussed in this section. If a percentage of compaction is specified under another section of this report, the value given in that section should be used. After stripping, planned excavation, and any required overexcavation have been performed to the satisfaction of the geotechnical engineer, the upper 12 inches of exposed ground in areas to receive fill should be recompacted to 90 percent of the modified Proctor maximum density using ASTM:D 1557 as the standard. If the subgrade contains silty soils and too much moisture, adequate recompaction may be difficult or impossible to obtain and should probably not be attempted. In lieu of recompaction, the area to receive fill should be blanketed with washed rock or quarry spalls to act as a capillary break between the new fill and the wet subgrade. Where the exposed ground remains soft and further overexcavation is impractical, placement of an engineering stabilization fabric may be necessary to prevent contamination of the free -draining layer by silt migration from below. After recompaction of the exposed ground is tested and approved, or a free -draining rock course is laid, structural fill may be placed to attain desired grades. Structural fill is defined as non-organic soil, acceptable to the geotechnical engineer, placed in maximum 8 -inch loose lifts, with each lift being compacted to 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum density using ASTM:D 1557 as the standard. Use of soils from the site in structural fill applications is acceptable if the material meets the project specifications for the intended use, and if specifically allowed by project specifications. In the case of roadway and utility trench filling, the backfill should be placed and compacted in accordance with current City of Renton codes and standards. The top of the compacted fill should extend horizontally outward a minimum distance of 3 feet beyond the locations of the roadway edges before sloping down at an angle of 2H: IV. The contractor should note that any proposed fill soils must be evaluated by AESI prior to their use in fills. This would require that we have a sample of the material 72 hours in advance to perform a Proctor test and determine its field compaction standard. Soils in which the amount of fine-grained material (smaller than the No. 200 sieve) is greater than approximately 5 percent (measured on the minus No. 4 sieve size) should be considered moisture -sensitive. Use of moisture -sensitive soil in structural fills should be limited to favorable dry weather conditions, and is only permitted if specifically allowed by project plans and specifications. The native and existing fill soils present on-site contained significant amounts of silt and are considered highly moisture -sensitive. In addition, construction equipment traversing the site when the soils are wet can cause considerable disturbance. If fill is placed during wet weather November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. eWGkb - KE100287A7. - Projecrs 1207002871KEI WP Page 16 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton, Washington Preliminary Design Recommendations or if proper compaction cannot be obtained, a select import material consisting of a clean, free - draining gravel and/or sand should be used. Free -draining fill consists of non-organic soil with the amount of fine-grained material limited to 5 percent by weight when measured on the minus No. 4 sieve fraction with at least 25 percent retained on the No. 4 sieve. A representative from our firm should inspect the stripped subgrade and be present during placement of structural fill to observe the work and perform a representative number of in-place density tests. In this way, the adequacy of the earthwork may be evaluated as filling progresses, and any problem areas may be corrected at that time. It is important to understand that taking random compaction tests on a part-time basis will not assure uniformity or acceptable performance of a fill. As such, we are available to aid the District in developing a suitable monitoring and testing program. 11.4 FOUNDATIONS Spread footings may be used for building support when founded directly on undisturbed lodgement till, advance outwash, or on structural fill placed above suitable native deposits, as previously discussed. We recommend that an allowable bearing pressure of 3,000 pounds per square foot (psf) be used for design purposes, including both dead and live loads. An increase of one-third may be used for short-term wind or seismic loading. Higher foundation soil bearing pressures are possible for foundations supported entirely on undisturbed lodgement till and advance outwash, however, we do not expect that higher bearing pressures will be needed. If higher foundation soil bearing pressures are needed, we should be allowed to offer situation - specific recommendations. Perimeter footings should be buried at least 18 inches into the surrounding soil for frost protection. However, all footings must penetrate to the prescribed bearing stratum, and no footing should be founded in or above organic or loose soils. All footings should have a minimum width of 18 inches. It should be noted that the area bound by lines extending downward at 1H: 1V from any footing must not intersect another footing or intersect a filled area that has not been compacted to at least 95 percent of ASTM:D 1557. In addition, a 1.5H: IV line extending down from any footing must not daylight because sloughing or raveling may eventually .undermine the footing. Thus, footings should not be placed near the edge of steps or cuts in the bearing soils. Anticipated settlement of footings founded as described above should be on the order of Ya inch or less. However, disturbed soil not removed from footing excavations prior to footing placement could result in increased settlements. All footing areas should be inspected by AESI November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. ewcitt - KE100287A2 - Projecis1201002871KEMP Page 17 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton, Washington Preliminary Design Recommendations prior to placing concrete to verify that the design bearing capacity of the soils has been attained and that construction conforms to the recommendations contained in this report. Such inspections may be required by the governing municipality. Perimeter footing drains should be provided, as discussed under the "Drainage Considerations" section of this report. 11.1 Drainage Considerations Foundations should be provided with foundation drains. Drains should consist of rigid, perforated, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe surrounded by washed pea gravel. The drains should be constructed with sufficient gradient to allow gravity discharge away from the proposed buildings. Roof and surface runoff should not discharge into the footing drain system, but should be handled by a separate, rigid, tightline drain. In planning, exterior grades adjacent to walls should be sloped downward away from the proposed structures to achieve surface drainage. 12.0 FLOOR SUPPORT Floor slabs can be supported on suitable native sediments, or on structural fill placed above suitable native sediments. Floor slabs should be cast atop a minimum of 4 inches of clean, washed, crushed rock or pea gravel to act as a capillary break. Areas of subgrade that are disturbed (loosened) during construction should be compacted to a non -yielding condition prior to placement of capillary break material. Floor slabs should also be protected from dampness by an impervious moisture barrier at least 10 rails thick. The moisture barrier should be placed between the capillary break material and the concrete slab. 13.0 FOUNDATION WALLS All backfill behind foundation walls or around foundation units should be placed as per our recommendations for structural fill and as described in this section of the report. Horizontally backfilled walls, which are free to yield laterally at least 0.1 percent of their height, may be designed using an equivalent fluid equal to 35 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). Fully restrained, horizontally backfilled, rigid walls that cannot yield should be designed for an equivalent fluid of 50 pcf. Walls with sloping backfill up to a maximum gradient of 211: IV should be designed using an equivalent fluid of 55 pcf for yielding Conditions or 75 pcf for fully restrained conditions. If parking areas are adjacent to walls, a surcharge equivalent to 2 feet of soil should be added to the wall height in determining lateral design forces.

Considering the site soils and the recommended wall backfill materials, we recommend a seismic surcharge pressure of 5H and 10H psf, where H is the wall height in feet, for the "active" and "at -rest" loading conditions, respectively. The seismic surcharge should be modeled as a rectangular distribution with the resultant applied at the midpoint of the walls. The lateral pressures presented above are based on the conditions of a uniform backfill consisting of excavated on-site soils, or imported structural fill compacted to 90 percent of ASTM:D 1557. A higher degree of compaction is not recommended, as this will increase the pressure acting on the walls. A lower compaction may result in settlement of the slab -on -grade or other structures supported above the walls. Thus, the compaction level is critical and must be tested by our firm during placement. Surcharges from adjacent footings or heavy construction equipment must be added to the above values. Perimeter footing drains should be provided for all retaining walls, as discussed under the "Drainage Considerations" section of this report. It is imperative that proper drainage be provided so that hydrostatic pressures do not develop against the walls. This would involve installation of a minimum, 1 -foot -wide blanket drain to within 1 foot of finish grade for the full wall height using imported, washed gravel against the walls. 13.1 Passive Resistance and Friction Factors Lateral loads can be resisted by friction between the foundation and the natural glacial soils or supporting structural fill soils, and by passive earth pressure acting on the buried portions of the foundations. The foundations must be backfilled with structural fill and compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density to achieve the passive resistance provided below. We recommend the following allowable design parameters: • Passive equivalent fluid = 250 pcf • Coefficient of friction = 0.30 14.0 PAVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS Pavement areas should be prepared in accordance with the "Site Preparation" section of this report. If the stripped native soil or existing fill pavement subgrade can be compacted to 95 percent of ASTM:D 1557 and is firm and unyielding, no additional overexcavation is November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. HWG/tb - KE100287A2 - ProjeciO201002871KEIWP Page 19 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton, Washington PreliminaLy Design Recommendations required. Soft or yielding areas should be overexcavated to provide a suitable subgrade and backfilled with structural fill. The pavement sections included in this report section are for driveway and parking areas on- site, and are not applicable to right-of-way improvements. At this time, we are not aware of any planned right-of-way improvements, however, if any new paving of public streets is required, we should be allowed to offer situation -specific recommendations. The exposed ground should be recompacted to 95 percent of ASTM : D 1557. If required, structural fill may then be placed to achieve desired subbase grades. Upon completion of the recompaction and structural fill, a pavement section consisting of 2'/z inches of asphaltic concrete pavement (ACP) underlain by 4 inches of 11/4 -inch crushed surfacing base course is the recommended minimum in areas of planned passenger car driving and parking. In heavy traffic areas, a minimum pavement section consisting of 3 inches of ACP underlain by 2 inches of '/B -inch crushed surfacing top course and 4 inches of 1 1/4 -inch crushed surfacing base course is recommended. The crushed rock courses must be compacted to 95 percent of the maximum density, as determined by ASTM:D 1557. All paving materials should meet gradation criteria contained in the current Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Standard Specifications. Depending on construction staging and desired performance, the crushed base course material may be substituted with asphalt treated base (ATB) beneath the final asphalt surfacing. The substitution of ATB should be as follows: 4 inches of crushed rock can be substituted with 3 inches of ATB, and 6 inches of crushed rock may be substituted with 4 inches of ATB. ATB should be placed over a native or structural fill subgrade compacted to a minimum of 95 percent relative density, and a 11/z- to 2 -inch thickness of crushed rock to act as a working surface. If ATB is used for construction access and staging areas, some rutting and disturbance of the ATB surface should be expected. The general contractor should remove affected areas and replace them with properly compacted ATB prior to final surfacing. 15.0 PROJECT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION MONITORING Our report is preliminary since project plans had not been developed at the time this report was written. We recommend that AESI perform a geotechnical review of the plans prior to final design completion. In this way, we can confirm that our earthwork and foundation recommendations have been properly interpreted and implemented in the design. November 18, 2010 ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. BWGItb - KE100287A2 - Projecis 2010028TKEWP Page 20 Subsurface Exploration, Preliminary Geotechnical Proposed Early Childhood Center Engineering, and Infiltration Feasibility Report Renton, Washington PreliminaryDesiSn ecommendations We are also available to provide geotechnical engineering and monitoring services during construction. The integrity of the foundation system depends on proper site preparation and construction procedures. In addition, engineering decisions may have to be made in the field in the event that variations in subsurface conditions become apparent. Construction monitoring services are not part of this current scope of work. If these services are desired, please let us know, and we will prepare a cost proposal. We have enjoyed working with you on this study and are confident that these recommendations will aid in the successful completion of your project. If you should have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, ASSOCIATED EARTH SCIENCES, INC. Kirkland, Washington Bruce W, Guenzler, L.E.G.
