(Ronald F. Swanson) /RESOLUTIONS Resolution #617 - granting approval of the preliminary plat of Orillia Industrial Park Mayor Bauch's letter to Council President Van Dusen was read for the record. The letter states that Seattle -King County Health Department proposes to increase Tukwila's assessment for health services from S533 to $8,097, a 1,513 percent increase. The increase is due to a new formula being used to compute assessments. It gives heavy weight to the assessed valuation. When you analyze the services provided it becomes apparent that almost everything is related to personal health services. This indicates that the assessment should be based on population and not assessed valuation. Mayor Bauch is recommending that Council reject this assessment and authorize him to negotiate a new assessment with the health department. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT COUNCIL CONCUR WITH THE MAYOR'S LETTER. * Councilman Hill asked if this subject has been discussed at the Subur, Mayors' Association. Mayor Bauch reported that it has, several timei.

The drawing shows how the lots are laid out, where the proposed streets are, where the utilities will be located and their size. It is then reviewed by the City staff to determine if it meets acceptable principles. The Planning Commission reviews the plat and can put conditions on it as they have this one. It then comes to Council to be approved or denied. The reason for a preliminary plat is so the developer doesn't have to spend the money if it is not going to be acceptable.

Concensus of the Planning Commission to delete Agenda Item VIII C. OLD BUSINESS kRt PUBLIC HEARING: PRELIMINARY PLAT ( Glacier Industrial Park) Commissioner Bowen excused himself from participation in this matter due to his employment conflict. Chairman Kirsop reconvened the recessed public hearing at 8:10 P.M. and Mr. Crutch- field read the Staff Report explaining revisions proposed. Mr. Al Hebrank, Gardner Engineers, noted the small land area at the northeast corner of the plat was required to be left in a natural state as a result of the fill permit. Suggested it be included in the adjacent lot. Also requested the. reservation regarding the P -1 Channel contain a reversion clause in the event the channel is not constructed. Mr. Satterstrom explained the fill permit required the northeast portion be left natural due to its'lower elevation to serve as a detention area for storm water runoff. Mr. Hebrank noted the P -1 channel area could provide that function. There being no further public comments, Chairman Kirsop closed the hearing at 8:30 P.M. Commission generally discussed potential use of the northeast corner of the plat for drainage. • Chairman Kirsop declared a recess at 8:35 P.M. to allow Mr. Satterstrom to retrieve the file on the fill permit,.

AGENDA ITEM: PRELIMINARY PLAT: Glacier Industrial Park (Burlington Northern) REQUEST: PRELIMINARY PLAT of Glacier Industrial Park APPLICANT: Burlington Northern Land Development Company LOCATION: Approximately 1200 feet south of Longacres and lying adja- cent the east line of Burlington Northern rail line. SIZE: 72.5 acres ZONE: M -1 (Light Industry) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Industrial - Light The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing in consideration of this preliminary plat and their Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation is herein forwarded in accordance with Section 17.12.030 (7). FINDINGS: 1. Burlington Northern's Land Development Company has initiated platting pro- cedures to subdivide the land area depicted in Exhibit A to facilitate development of the planned Glacier Industrial Park. 2. The corporate boundaries of Tukwila and Renton coincide near the northwest portion of the planned industrial park. As such, the two (2) individual . portions of the park must be processed under the respective jurisdiction's regulations. (SEE, Exhibit B) 3. The land affected by the proposed plat consists of generally flat alluvium soil. Characteristics include low bearing capacity, slight erosion hazard, poor internal drainage and good arability. As such, the soils are best suited for agriculture. Hence, urban development will require significant site preparation prior to development. (SEE, Data Inventory: Tukwila Plan- ning, Area; 1975) 4. That portion of the planned industrial park lying within the corporate limits of Tukwila is 72.5 acres in total size. The 72 acres is proposed to be divided into 12 lots, the smallest of which is approximately 3.0 acres. (SEE, Exhibit C) 5. The twelve (12) lots are proposed to be served by Longacres Parkway running north -south and a portion of the loop roadway extending between S.W. 33rd Street and S.W. 38th Street. City Council ( Page 2 Staff Report 14 February<1978 6. Utilities proposed to serve the plat are as indicated in Exhibit D and as follows: A. Water: A 12 -inch water line is situated within the loop roadway and connects at Longacres Parkway. B. Sanitary Sewer: Two 8 -inch sanitary sewer lines are provided and extend to Longacres Parkway to connect with Metro trunk line. C. Storm Sewer: A 24 -inch storm sewer line is provided along the north - south portion of the loop road while a 30 -inch line extends westerly within S.W. 33rd Street. 7. Public Works Department has indicated that the extension of Renton's public utilities to service the Tukwila portion of the park will require a franchise agreement between the two cities to define the actual extent of service and the costs to Tukwila for such service. (SEE, Exhibit E) 8. Fire Department has indicated the sufficiency of the water service to be dependent upon several considerations but generally seems adequate. Also noted the fire hydrants used within Renton are not useable by Tukwila or most other fire prevention departments and recommends the hydrants used within the Tukwila portion of the industrial park conform to Tukwila stan- dards. (SEE, Exhibit F) 9. The common corporate boundary coincides with centerline of Longacres Parkway. The portion in Renton is planned to be a boulevard within a 90-foot right -of- way while Tukwila's standard is 60 feet for a collector arterial. This pre- sents a problem in designing and constructing the street. 10. S.W. 33rd Street, westerly from Longacres Parkway and southerly to S.W. 38th Street, is 60 feet in width. This corresponds to the design standards for local industrial streets identified under Section 17.28.020. 11. Lot 1, situated in the northeast corner of the plat, includes the land area required to remain in a natural state as a condition of the fill permit on 30 June 1977. This area is to provide storm water detention and approval of the plat does not negate the fill permit conditions. 12. The P -1 Drainage Channel, situated along the west and north boundaries of the proposed plat, varies in width from approximately 250 feet to approximately 350 feet and is intended to serve as the principal drainage channel draining the east side of the Green River Valley and feeding the P -1 pumping station on the Green River. 13. This land area is situated within a flood control zone. Section 17.20.020 (TMC) requires Department of Ecology approval prior to consideration of Final Plat. 14. Location of rail easements are generally identified by the Preliminary Plat. 15. The proposed industrial park generally complements the Comprehensive Plan. City Council Staff Report Page 3 14 February 1978 16. The City of Tukwila has issued a Declaration of Non - Significance based principally on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) which was prepared under the direction of the City of Renton. (A copy of that EIS is attached to this Staff Report.) 17. Minutes of the hearing conducted by the Planning Commission on 21 December 1977 and 26 January 1978 are attached to this Staff Report. CONCLUSIONS: 1. It is essential to consider the proposed plat in a manner which will best prevent confusing and impractical conditions for the industrial park and to achieve a subdivision which promotes the best interest of both municipalities. 2. Although Tukwila has no utilities to service the Tukwila plat, they can be and are planned for extension from the Renton system. However, this must be accomplished through a written agreement between the two municipalities to define the extent of service and its associated costs. 3. All streets and utilities within the Tukwila plat, with the exception of Longacres Parkway, should be designed and constructed in accordance with City of Tukwila Public Works Department standards. Longacres Parkway, in all practicality, should be designed and constructed to City•of Renton requirements. 4. The land area depicted as the P -1 Drainage Channel should be reserved for drainage purposes. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommends the City Council approve the Preliminary Plat as revised and dated 4 January 1978 with the following stipulations: 1. A written franchise agreement between the cities'of Renton and Tukwila to define the extent of utility service and costs associated thereto must be executed prior to filing the Final Plat. 2. Design and construction of all utilities shall conform to Department of Public Works standards. 3. Longacres Parkway shall be designed and constructed in accordance with City of Renton requirements. 4. All rights -of -way shall be as established for local streets under Section 17.28.020 of the Tukwila Municipal Code and shall include utility easements of fifteen (15) feet in width adjacent each side of the rights-of-way. 5. All street improvements, except Longacres Parkway, shall conform to Chapter 17.28 of TMC. 6. The land area noted as the P -1 Drainage Channel shall be reserved on the Final Plat for public drainage purposes. City Council Staff Report 7. Railroad easements shall be so noted and reserved on the Final Plat. 8. Written approval be obtained from Department of Ecology per Section 17.20.020 (TMC) prior to consideration of Final Plat. 9. The northeasterly lot be numerically designated and revised to include the land area_up to the west line of Longacres Parkway. Page 4 14 January 1978 • t%1 r tra.J • W. VA Lt. EV ra • E.

OLD BUSINESS RECESSED PUBLIC HEARING: PRELIMINARY PLAT ( Glacier Industrial Park) Commissioner Bowen excused himself from participation in this matter due to his employment conflict. Chairman Kirsop reconvened the recessed public hearing at 8:10 P.M. and Mr. Crutch- field read the Staff Report explaining, revisions proposed. Mr. Al Hebrank, Gardner Engineers, noted the small land area at the northeast corner of the plat was required to be left in a natural state as a result of the fill permit. Suggested it be included in the adjacent lot. Also requested the. reservation regarding the P -1 Channel contain a reversion clause in the event the channel is not constructed. Mr. Satterstrom explained the fill permit required the northeast portion be left natural due to its'lower elevation to serve as a detention area for: storm water runoff. Mr. Hebrank noted the P -1 channel area could provide that function. There being no further public comments, Chairman Kirsop closed the hearing at 8:30 P.M. Commission generally discussed potential use of the northeast corner of the plat for drainage. Chairman Kirsop declared a recess at 8:35 P.M. to allow Mr. Satterstrom to retrieve the file on the fill permit. Chairman Kirsop reconvened the meeting at 8:45 P.M.

PLANNING COMMISSION Chairman Kirsop reconvened the regular December meeting at 8:00 P.M. and noted this meeting had been recessed from Thursday, 15 December 1977. Commissioners present were: Sowinski, West, Avery, Bowen and Hartong. Fred Satterstrom and Gary Crutchfield represented the Planning Division. Mr. Crutchfield noted that Commissioner Richards had notified the Planning Division of his absence. NEW BUSINESS (continued): B. PUBLIC HEARING: PRELIMINARY PLAT :(Glacier Industrial Park) Commissioner Bowen excused himself from participating in this matter due to a conflict of interest. Chairman Kirsop opened the Public Hearing at 8:05 P.M. and Mr. Crutchfield read the Staff Report and explained the Preliminary Plat. Chairman Kirsop pointed out the Renton hydrants could be used by Tukwila and vice - versa. Mr. Crutchfield agreed but noted that additional coupling equipment would be necessary for both agencies. Mr. Crutchfield pointed out future probability of short plats and new additional rights -of -way due to inadequacy of system planned at this stage. Also questioned details of Renton Examiner's decision. Al Hebrank, Gardner Engineers (representing Burlington Northern), complemented the Staff Report but noted objection to Recommendation #4 regarding the location of rights -of -way. Explained the City of Renton Hearing Examiner decision had directed a loop roadway system but number of streets and:location was left up to the admini- stration and applicant. (Submittd copy of Examiner's written decision which may be found in Tukwila Planning. Division M/F #77 -50 -SUB.) Presented alternative right -of -way pattern. Noted fire hydrants and water pressure would conform to Tukwila requirements. 6230 Southcenter Boulevard a Tukwila, Washington 98188 a (206) 242 -2177 ( ' Planning Commission j `.._ Minutes of Recessed Meeting Page 2 21 December 1977 Neal Kretzer, Burlington Northern, requested that Commissioner Bowen explain the marketing aspects of the plat as they related to placement of rights -of -way. Dick Bowen, representing Burlington Northern, explained that large lots are man- dated as a result of their marketing analysis and the road pattern recommended by Staff simply reduces the size of lots below that necessary. Mr. Crutchfield pointed out that Staff was not concerned so much with the area of each lot.as they were with the depth, configuration and frontage of each lot. All these factors contribute to impetus for additional divisions. Noted addi- tional divisions are inevitable. 'Need for new additional roadways, however, should be diminished at this stage of the planning process through design of lot layout which will accomodate additional divisions with least revision of roadway pattern. Mr. Hebrank noted it is much easier to short plat and provide necessary streets than it is to vacate platted rights -of -ways in the future. Noted that applicant is meeting with Renton on 22 December 1977 to discuss and hopefully define alter- native roadway pattern. Chairman Kirsop suggested delay of Tukwila action to allow some revision to be defined. Mr. Hebrank stated that is acceptable to the applicant. Motion by Mr. Sowinski, seconded by Mrs. Avery and carried to recess this public hearing until the regular January meeting to allow the applicant and the two jurisdictions to resolve the roadway pattern. Commissioner Bowen returned to the Commission table. C. PUBLIC HEARING: REZONE from R -4 to C -1 (Huntington) Chairman Kirsop opened the Public Hearing at 8:50 P.M. and Mr. Crutchfield read . the Staff Report and explained the surrounding zoning, Comprehensive Plan desig- nations, and developments. James Huntington, applicant, stated his agreement with the Staff Report and its recommendation. Explained the anticipated development will house professional office functions. Commission briefly discussed preliminary site plan and concluded it to be inappli- cable to the question of zoning. There being no further comments, Chairman Kirsop closed the public hearing at 9:10 P.M. Mr. Hartong asked where Staff got the idea of a 25 -foot setback. Mr. Crutchfield referred to the Staff Report and Exhibit G (Ordinance #1041). Mr. Hartong stated the City Council, on Monday night, had defeated a motion to establish 20 -foot setbacks. Mr. Crutchfield noted that action had taken place APPLICANT: LOCATION: SUMMARY OF REQUEST: SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION: PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT: PUBLIC HEARING: December 16, 1977 CITY OF RENTON REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO THE RENTON CITY COUNCIL.

Applicant requests preliminary plat approval for a proposed industrial park plat to allow construction of streets and utilities for future commercial and industrial development. The applicant also requests exception to the Subdivision Ordinance regarding the maximum 500 foot length requirement for cul -de -sacs and the maximum /minimum lengths and widths requirements for blocks within Section 9- 1108.24 of the Subdivision Ordinance. Planning Department: Approval with conditions. Approval with conditions. Hearing Examiner: The Planning Department staff report was received by the Examiner on December 1, 1977. After reviewing the Planning Department report, examining available information on file with the application, and field checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: The hearing was opened on December 6, 1977 at 9:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. It was reported that the Hearing Examiner and the applicant had received and reviewed the Planning Department report, and the report was entered into the record as Exhibit #1. Michael Smith, Planning Department, reviewed Exhibit #1, and entered the following additional exhibits into the record: Exhibit #2: • Exhibit #3: Exhibit #4: Exhibit #5: Exhibit #6: Exhibit #7: Exhibit #8: Exhibit #9: Exhibit #10: Glacier Park Fill Permits, dated November 19,. 1975 and October 13, 1976 (by reference). Vicinity Map Storm Drainage Plan Sewer Plan Water Plan Plat Map with staff notes included Street Cross - Section Environmental Impact Statement, dated October 22, 1975 (by reference). Letter from Gary Crutchfield, Assistant Planner, City of Tukwila, dated December 1, 1977. Exhibit #11: Aerial Photo of Site Exhibit #12: Optional 39 -acre Wetland Agreement with City of Renton (conditions of fill permit, by reference). PP- 086 -77 Page Two E- 106 -77 • Mr. Smith advised that the Utilities Division had added notations on Exhibit #6 revising pipe sizes on Lind Avenue S.W. from 12 inches to 16 inches and requiring a 20 -foot . easement at all property lines at back of lots. Revisions had also been made on Exhibit #8 designating Longacres Parkway a minimum 90 -foot roadway. Mr. Smith noted that the definition of block lengths and widths should be clarified in order to review the request for exception from the Subdivision Ordinance for length of cul -de -sacs. He submitted the following additional exhibit into the record: Exhibit #13: Letter from Jim Harris, Planning Director, City of Kent, dated November 29, 1977. The Examiner asked a representative of the Fire Department to testify. Responding was: Ed Wooton Fire Department Mr. Wooton emphasized that comments referenced in Item 0.14.C. of Exhibit #1 recommending a proposed connection between S.W. 39th Street and S.W. 42nd Street to provide additional east -west access for emergency vehicles should be revised to propose that the connection be mandatory. The Examiner called for a recess at 10:05 a.m. The meeting was reconvened at 10:20 a.m. The Examiner asked the applicant if he concurred in Exhibit #1. Responding was: J. J. Gordon Manager, Property Management Division Burlington Northern Company Lobby 2, Central Building Seattle, WA 98104 Mr. Gordon indicated basic agreement with the report but wished to clarify certain points and offer alternative solutions to the recommendation. The Examiner asked Mr. Gordon if he had received advance copies of Exhibit #10, letter from City of Tukwila. The applicant indicated that a copy received prior to the hearing from Mr. Smith contained revisions that had not previously been reviewed by the applicant. He also congratulated Mr. Smith on his thorough presentation of a complicated application, but expressed concern with stipulations contained in the report for donations, contributions and mitigation for wildlife habitat. He noted that although the report estimated that a total of 4% of property had been donated, the actual figure exceeded 30% including a 20 -acre wetland donation, an additional optional 39 -acre site, and all public rights -of -way. He explained that as a requirement of a prior fill permit, the city had required 39 acres to be set aside for an optional acquisition by the city for wetland area and noted that the two - year option period will expire in February, 1978. Mr. Gordon indicated that the option remained open to the city but objected to dedication of the subject 39 acres as recommended in the Planning Department staff report. He also objected to donation of 40 feet on each side of Springbrook Creek because of the uncertainty of extension of Strander Boulevard adjacent to the 20 -acre wetland site and the possibility of creation of an LID which would constitute double payment to the city for property already donated by the applicant. Further objections included a recommendation in Item 0.8 for provision of bicycle and pedestrian paths connecting to the P -1 Channel from S.W. 33rd Street and S.W. 38th Street because such installation caused division of the site and the applicant expressed a preference for provision of pathways in alternate locations. He indicated cooperation with King County and the Corp of Engineers to develop the channel and the desire to reserve the property in lieu of a donation. He questioned Item 0.14.D. regarding provision of a minimum 20 -foot wide fire lane at the ends of all cul -de -sacs to the nearest drainage channel; and Item 0.15 which recommended that Phase I be limited to the area between the East Valley Road and Lind Avenue S.W. He preferred inclusion of property to S.W. 43rd Street and Longacres Parkway in Phase I so that the parcel remained in an L- shaped single configuration. He objected to being penalized for a drainage problem that had been created by design and development by the city and other facilities in the surrounding area. Other objections included recommendations in Item P.9. for provision of an 80 -foot right -of -way along the East Valley Road and additional right -of -way along S.W. 43rd Street until such time as federal funding is acquired to proceed with the project. He submitted quit claim deeds provided him by the city granting property along S.W. 43rd Street to the City of Renton subsequent to acquisition of federal funding of the project. The deeds (4) were labeled Exhibit #14. Mr. Gordon indicated that the Public Works Department had been unsuccessful as of August 5, 1977 in acquiring funding for widening and improvement of the roadway. The Examiner indicated that the matter would be researched. Mr. Gordon concluded his testimony by reiterating previous objections relating to donations and mitigation for wildlife habitat and indicated his desire to complete the application review in an expeditious manner. The Examiner entered the Preliminary Plat as revised on October 18, 1977 into the record as Exhibit #15. The Examiner, asked for further testimony in support of the application. Responding was: Albert Hebrank Gardner Engineers, Inc. Arctic Building Seattle, WA 98104 PP- 086 -77 Page Three E- 106 -77 Mr. Hebrank addressed the recommended revisions to the proposed cul -de -sacs as noted in Exhibit #1. He felt that the Fire Department was concerned only with the paved width of the roadways to allow access for emergency•vehicles when the streets were congested with parked cars. Since widening the cul -de -sacs increases the setback requirements and decreases useable area of the lots, Mr. Hebrank proposed that the pavement width be extended to 44 feet but additional widening and improving of the right -of -way to a 60 -foot . width be accomplished through utilization of a utility easement. He concurred in the • recommendation to connect S.W. 39th Street and S.W. 42nd Street but requested an option to revise the configuration location. He also agreed to provision of 20 -foot wide fire lanes at the ends of cul -de -sacs but questioned the need for provision of bicycle and pedestrian lanes to waterways. He expressed his intent to cooperate with the Public Works Department in coordinating conditions and recommendations of the proposal. The Examiner asked for further testimony in support of the application. Responding was: Don Cowles Manager, Industrial Development Division Burlington Northern Lobby 3, Central Building Seattle, WA 98104 Mr. Cowles objected to Item 0.4 of Exhibit #1 which recommends establishing restrictive covenants to encourage control of use of certain exterior building materials. He explained that the proposed industrial development would attract customers owning distribution businesses which would utilize railroad transportation facilities, and which may, for economic reasons, construct buildings with,all -metal exteriors. He emphasized that the park will not contain similar businesses as are located in Andover Park in Tukwila, and noted that the area projected for heavy industrial uses had been reduced recently. He indicated that if covenants were required in the final recommendation, a request would be made to allow all -metal exterior buildings in the area west of Longacres Parkway for heavy industrial useage and excluded from the covenants. The Examiner asked for testimony in opposition to the application. Responding was: Leonard Steiner Audubon Society 13239 N.E. 100th Kirkland, WA 98003 Mr. Steiner indicated that he was not opposed to development or progress, but was concerned that consideration be given to conservation of wildlife and nature in large developments, and noted that the site contains habitat for large numbers of water fowl and a small number of birds of prey. He designated on the map, Exhibit #7, the location of the marsh in relationship to the 20 -acre wetland site and objected to the construction of the P -1 channel through the marshland area. He recalled that originally the proposed Longacres Parkway would extend northerly beyond the 20 -acre site and streets would provide a natural barrier for the marsh. He encouraged revising the plat map to define the 20 -acre and the 39 -acre optional site as the actual marshland area, and indicated that attempts to provide funding were currently being made, but he encouraged donation of the 39 -acre site for wildlife habitat if such attempts were unsuccessful. He also felt that traffic circulation in the area required comprehensive review and favored widening and improvement of S.W. 43rd Street. In response to the Examiner's inquiry regarding input from the Audubon Society in drafting the Environmental Impact Statement, Mr. Steiner responded that the society had been involved in hearings on the subject for several years. Mr. Smith reported that the location of the marsh is designated in the E.I.S. The Examiner asked for further comments in opposition to the request. There was no response. The Examiner asked Mr. Smith for additions, corrections or modifications to Exhibit #1. Mr. Smith referred to the Subdivision Ordinance requirements in responding to comments from the applicant relative to dedication of property in the Springbrook Creek area and the P -1 channel. PP- 086 -77 Page Four E- 106 -77 He stated that although he understood the applicant's reservation regarding the dedication of property in the P -1 channel, the Subdivision Ordinance contains authority to impose requirements for such dedications as well as requirements for full -width streets within the plat. He noted that the improved width of cul -de -sacs in a manufacturing park is subject to Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. He felt that in order to alleviate traffic impact in the proposal, coordination between the city and the applicant would be necessary to arrive at a specific design scheme. Regarding the department's recommendation relating to all -metal building exteriors, Mr. Smith reported that the City Council had established a policy for industrial parks to ensure an aesthetic appearance and he stressed that the park is adjacent to suburban residential areas and should contain well - designed and constructed structures. In response to Mr. Steiner's comments, he advised that the city has surpassed other cities in efforts to protect wetland areas and mitigate wildlife habitat and indicated that design alternatives exist on the P -1 channel to ensure compatibility with the existing wetland area. He expressed expectation that the existing dirt road could be eliminated through the wetland area and the position of the marsh area shifted within the 20 -acre site to utilize the marshland habitat to its full extent. In response to the Examiner's inquiry regarding replatting the wetland to a configuration denoted on Exhibit #7, Mr. Steiner indicated that it was unlikely that wildlife would relocate to the revised site because of lack of dense vegetation, but felt that replanting and dredging could be accomplished to provide some habitat. He indicated his willingness to work with the Planning Department to obtain funding to conserve the 39 -acre site. Mr. Cowles noted that the 20 -acre wetland site was not included as part of the plat. He inquired if stipulations in the Manufacturing Park Ordinance prohibited the construction of all -steel buildings. Mr. Smith indicated that the requirement does not exist in the ordinance. The Examiner referred to Section 4- 2303.2.C. of the Mining, Grading and Excavation Ordinance which allows the Examiner the responsibility to approve the use and site plan for the proposal. Mr. Cowles restated Mr. Hebrank's suggestion that utility easements on each side of the cul -de -sacs be utilized for setbacks and landscaping requirements to provide dual useage of dedicated property. Mr. Gordon also asked for clarification regarding the necessity of a fire lane right -of -way from the cul -de -sacs to Springbrook Creek. Mr. Wooton indicated that he would obtain clarification from the Fire Chief and report back later in the hearing. Mr. Gordon also objected to right -of -way width requirements recommended in Exhibit #1 as being excessive of recommended requirements of the Public Works Department for S.W. 43rd Street. The Examiner asked a representative of the Public Works Department to respond. Responding was: Paul Lumbert Traffic Engineering Specialist Mr. Lumbert reported that right -of -way requirements noted on Exhibit #14 indicated an adjustment to the right -of -way alignment proposed for the five -lane section of S.W. 43rd Street, and noted that the three -lane alignment is slightly different from the proposed five -lane roadway. Mr. Smith advised that dedication of property would be required to provide adequate area for a 90 -foot right -of -way and technicalities of the proposal would be coordinated by the Planning and Public Works Departments. In response to Mr. Steiner's comments, Mr. Gordon reported that the Glacier Park fill permit required that filling not occur west of Lind Avenue and north of the site and noted that the route for the P -1 channel is designated by the King County Division of Hydraulics and allows no control to the applicant. The meeting was recessed at 11:55 a.m. and was reconvened at 1:30 p.m. The Examiner asked Mr. Wooton, Fire Department, to respond to previous inquiries relating to provision of access to the proposed cul -de -sacs from Springbrook Creek. Mr. Wooton clarified that although the department was not concerned with provision of a minimum 20 -foot wide fire lane right -of -way at the ends of all cul -de -sacs as stated in Item 14.D. of Exhibit #1, peripheral access as noted in Item 14.C. was still recommended. Mr. Hebrank advised that peripheral access for emergency vehicles was included in the fire code and established at the time of construction and not included in the plat proposal. Mr. Hebrank responded to comments made by Mr. Smith in his presentation regarding alignment of Lind Avenue at S.W. 43rd Street and the P.I.E. truck access at S. 43rd Street in Kent. He reported that although alignment did not occur in the original submittal, the situation had been corrected in Exhibit #7, and alignment now occurs because of a curve on Lind Avenue north of S.W. 41st Street. In response to Mr. Steiner's comments he clarified that the 39 -acre site had been offered to the City of Renton for a two -year optional purchase period soon to expire in February, 1978, and that it had been included in the preliminary plat design for review. He indicated that the plat be approved including the 39 -acre parcel until such time as the city makes a decision on purchase. Mr. Gordon concurred with Mr. Hebrank's comments regarding inclusion of the site in the preliminary plat until such time as the city reaches a decision on extension of the option. He also emphasized that the plat should be reviewed as an industrial park and not a residential plat. PP- 086 -77 Page Five E- 106 -77 In response to the Examiner's inquiry regarding phasing, Mr. Gordon indicated that development of the plat would proceed in two phases, although certain flexibility was requested in establishing the phasing. Regarding the Examiner's question relating to dedication of property along Springbrook Creek, Mr. Gordon indicated willingness to reserve the property but not dedicate it to the city. In response to the Examiner's inquiry regarding consideration of connecting Lind Avenue to S.W. 43rd Street, S.W. 42nd Street to S.W. 41st Street, S.W. 39th to S.W. 38th Street, and S.W. 31st Street to S.W. 30th Street, Mr. Hebrank advised that because of creation of hazardous intersections, division of lots, and creating additional crossings on Springbrook Creek such connections were undesirable. The Examiner asked if it would be possible or desirable to extend S.W. 29th to avoid access to the East Valley Road. Mr. Cowles responded that in the Six -Year Street Program the East Valley Road is scheduled to be widened from S.W. 16th Street to off -ramp of SR -167 and additional right -of -way would be required for the widening project in 1979 to provide an adequate access for those lots along the East Valley Road. Referring to previous inquiries by the Examiner regarding connections of cul -de -sacs and crossings of Springbrook Creek, Mr. Cowles advised that because of proposed east -west crossings of Strander Boulevard, S.W. 43rd Street, and S.W. 34th Street; and north -south crossings on Longacres Parkway, Lind Avenue S.W. and the East Valley Road reasonable circulation is provided for major access. In response to the Examiner's inquiry regarding a 35,000 square foot triangular piece of property located at the S.W. corner abutting Longacres Parkway, block 9 adjacent to lot 3, Mr. Cowles indicated that it was not a desirable parcel of property but was necessary to provide track to serve the properties on the other side and would be dedicated and utilized for installation of lead track. The Examiner noted that on the aerial photo, Exhibit #11, Springbrook Creek may require a large bridge. Mr. Cowles indicated that the photo was out of date and that a culvert facility has been installed at that location. The Examiner asked Mr.' Lumbert to comment regarding previous discussion on the possibility of connecting cul -de -sacs shown on the plat map. Mr. Lambert reported that a connection of S.W. 42nd Street to Lind Avenue should only be considered if S.W. 41st Street and S.W. 42nd Street were aligned, and commented that the proposed access grid as established was satisfactory and acceptable. The Examiner asked Mr. Lumbert if requirements for an exception from the Subdivision Ordinance for cul -de -sac length were met by the request. Mr. Lumbert responded that although the majority of cul -de -sacs could be defined as minor terminal streets according to ordinance requirements, the final development and traffic generation would determine the useage of the access streets. He felt that a connection between S.W. 39th and S.W. 42nd Streets would alleviate congestion and expedite traffic through the site. Regarding the minimum 80 -foot right -of -way requested for the East Valley Road, the Examiner asked Mr. Lumbert to explain the proposal. Mr. Lambert indicated that the roadway was proposed to be widened per the Six -Year Street Program which would facilitate better access for the existing 60 -foot street and would require dedication of an additional 10 feet on the applicant's site. The Examiner asked if the revision noted in red on Exhibit #7 for a proposed connection between S.W. 38th Street and S.W. 33rd Street was acceptable to the Traffic Engineering Division. Mr. Lumbert felt that although conformance to the configuration shown may not be necessary, a connection was desirable. The Examiner asked for a recommendation on the proposed railroad crossings. Mr. Lumbert indicated that permanent crossings would be required on the major arterials which may be signalized depending upon traffic volume. He advised that the location of crossings on Lind Avenue were acceptable; however, two crossings on Longacres Parkway were in close proximity to one another and it would be preferable if they were combined into one crossing to expedite traffic. In response to the Examiner's inquiry regarding dedication for roadway access, Mr. Smith indicated that the Public Works Department and the applicant had agreed that no more than 45 feet or half of the roadway would be contained in the wetland area. The Examiner noted that the applicant had indicated certain reservations about dedication of land along Springbrook Creek as well as along the P -1 channel and asked Mr. Smith to respond to these concerns. Mr. Smith reported that the land designated for the P -1 channel was not intended to be dedicated and because Strander Boulevard crosses a section of the wetland area, the recommendation was based upon requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance and conformance to the Comprehensive Plan. The Examiner asked if the procedure for reserving separate tracts for landscape or drainage open space for use at a later date had been acceptable in the past. Mr. Smith advised that because the application set a precedent in this regard, certain review of the reserve designations should be made but the city would require specific requirements prior to development. In response to the Examiner's inquiry regarding satisfaction of Mr. Steiner's concerns for wildlife habitat at the time of donation of the 20 -acre site, Mr. Smith reviewed past history of preservation of wetland.areas and indicated that although additional wetland was desired, conservationists had appreciated all donations to date. He reported PP- 086 -77 Page Six E- 106 -77 that the city was attempting to mitigate the habitat by reorienting and redesigning the storm drainage system to flow into the wetland area and the P -1 channel. He noted that other alternatives included dedication of wetland along Springbrook Creek and opening the east side of the wetland area. The Examiner asked Mr. Smith for further comments. Mr. Smith deferred the matter of the 20 -foot fire access to the Fire Department for final review, but recommended the 20 -foot pedestrian walkway remain in the requirements for the plat. He also noted that the plat plan should designate a proposed width of S.W. 43rd Street of 90 feet per approval of the Public Works Department. Mr. Smith indicated that the Planning Department would coordinate final design of connective roadways with the applicant. The Examiner reported that the hearing would be closed with an option to reopen it at a later date if clarification of a specific matter was required. He indicated that if the hearing was not reopened, the Examiner's Report and Recommendation would be published within 21 days of the date of the hearing. Mr. Gordon indicated his concurrence in the Examiner's requests but expressed a concern for expeditious The Examiner asked for further comments. Since there were none, the hearing on Item #PP- 086 -77 and E- 106 -77 was closed by the Examiner at 2:30 p.m. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS: Having reviewed the record in this natter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The request is for approval of a preliminary plat of an approximately 464 acre industrial park and approval of Exceptions from the Subdivision Ordinance. 2. The Planning Department report accurately sets forth the issues, applicable policies and provisions, findings of fact, and departmental recommendations in this matter and is hereby attached as Exhibit #1 and incorporated in this report by reference as set forth in full therein. 3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, as amended by R.C.W. 43.21.C., an environmental impact statement was issued on October 22, 1975 for the subject proposal by Gordon Y. Ericksen, responsible official. 4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the impact of this development. 5. All existing utilities are available and in close proximity. 6. The proposal is compatible with the applicable requirements of Sections 4 -713 (H -1) and 4 -730 (M -P) of Title IV, Code of General Ordinances. 7. Special permits for filling the site were approved on November 19, 1975 and October 13, 1976. Surface water drainage and erosion control measures remain to be completed in the landfill operation. 8. A Special Permit is required per Section 4- 2303.2 for the site plan and uses to be located on the site. 9. An L.I.D. for construction of Lind Avenue S.W. is scheduled for implementation the first part of 1978. Other streets within the plat will be constructed by the applicant. Pedestrian and bicycle access has been included in the design of Lind Avenue S.W. and Longacres Parkway. A recommendation was not made for these facilities in other streets in the plat, S.W. 43rd Street or the East Valley Road. However, within the plat these facilities have been provided at the end of S.W. 30th Street, S.W. 31st Street, and S.W. 39th Street to connect to Springbrook Creek, and objection was not expressed to their provision at S.W. 33rd Street and S.W. 38th Street to connect to the P -1 drainage channel. (See Exhibit #7, a reduced copy of which is attached.) 10. A 120 -foot area for Springbrook Creek was set aside in the plat for surface water drainage and wildlife habitat mitigation. Staff favored dedication of the land to the public, but the applicant favored retention of the land while reserving it for public use in perpetuity. 11. Plans for utilities have been submitted and reviewed by appropriate departments which continue to coordinate city requirements with the applicant. 12. Sufficient area has been dedicated to the public in the 20 -acre wetland to satisfy 19. Railway access for all but two lots is proposed in the plat. 29. Restrictive covenants were not submitted. PP- 086 -77 Page Seven E- 106 -77 the 2% wildlife habitat mitigation of Resolution No. 1923. An additional 39 acres is the subject of an option of the city for purchase by February, 1978. Contingent upon purchase by the city, the 39 acres was included in the plat. 13. The Fire Department does not require fire access to Springbrook Creek or the P -1 drainage channel as recommended in the staff report, Exhibit #1. 14. A marsh containing birds is located at the southwest area of the city's 20 -acre wetland and the plat. Salvation of these birds requires sensitive treatment and . appropriate landscaping of the 20 -acre wetland and the Springbrook Creek area. The Seattle Audubon Society is able to assist in this preservation endeavor. 15. The applicant agreed with the staff recommendation to connect S.W. 39th Street and S.W. 42nd Street and to connect S.W. 33rd Street and S.W. 38th_S,t,met.. Some doubt existed in the opinion of staff as to whether S.W. 39th Street and S.W. 42nd Street qualified as a "minor terminal street..." (cul -de -sac) of Section 9- 1108.24.A.(6). 16. The plat will be developed in two phases. In the first phase is the area east of Lind Avenue S.W. and the area south of what would be S.W. 40th Street. 17. Streets have been located to interface with the cities of Kent and Tukwila street systems. Responses to the proposal were received from these jurisdictions (Exhibits #10 and #13). 18. An alternative to the staff recommendation of wider cul -de -sac streets (page 6, item 14. A and B) was suggested by the applicant. It was proposed that the pavement be widened to 44 feet as recommended, but that the total right -of -way remain unchanged. Easements would be created outside the right -of -way for utilities with landscaping. 20. Strander Boulevard at the northern property line will take slightly more than 2 acres of the city's 20 -acre wetland area if the proposed alignment is continued westward from this plat. The wildlife habitat remaining in the plat, however, will remain over the 2% minimum of Resolution No. 1923. 21. S.W. 43rd Street has been designated as an Industrial Arterial and the East Valley Road as an Industrial Collector. Per Section 9- 1108.7, the arterial requires a 90 -foot right -of -way and the collector an 80 -foot right -of -way. Accordingly, ten feet of property is required along the East Valley Road. Sufficient right -of -way exists in S.W. 43rd Street. 22. Opposition was not expressed to providing peripheral landscaping and entrance landscaping per the staff recommendation. r2 23. Corner lots are to be platted wider than interior lots per Section 9- 1108.24.E.(d). Some corner lots apprently do not meet this requirement. An Exception was not requested. 24. The Examiner must approve the location and routes of the railroad tracks per Section 9- 1108.24.F. 25. All of the proposed cul -de -sacs are greater than 500 feet (Section 9- 1108.24.A.(b); therefore, an Exception was required per Section 9 -1109. 26. Blocks No. 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8 do not meet the block length and /or width requirements of Section 9- 1108.24.D, thereby requiring the requested Exception per Section 9 -1109. 27. No opposition was expressed to the staff recommendation that Longacres Parkway be constructed of a 90 -foot right -of -way with landscaped median and edges per the Parkway cross section of the Arterial and Streets Plan. A meandering bicycle path and pedestrian path are included along either side of the Parkway. 28. The preliminary plat requirements of Section 9- 1106.2.I. have been submitted. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proposal generally conforms to the goals and objectives of the Green River Valley Comprehensive Plan, except as noted herein. 2. The 20 -acre wetland dedicated to the city is part of the wildlife habitat mitigation per Resolution No. 1923 and the Green River Comprehensive Plan required for the subject property and the Green River Valley. Wildlife that exists at the northwest corner of the site, adjacent to and together with the westerly portion of the 20 -acre wetland, will require the wetland for survival. However, appropriate additional plant material will be required. 3. The reduction of the 20 acre wetland area by the alignment of Strander Boulevard is a problem for resolution by the city since the wetland is owned by the city. Assistance is provided in the proposal by 1) sufficient right -of -way provided in the south half of Strander Boulevard to shift the road northward, and 2) the expressed willingness by the applicant to cooperate with the city in the realignment. Directly impacted by the alignment will be the northerly properties, not necessarily the applicant. 4. Preservation of the Springbrook Creek area should be accomplished by retention in private ownership (and maintenance) and reservation as open space for use by the public. This conforms to the policy of the City Council, e.g. Tiffany Park Division No. 3. The applicant and Planning Department staff should create the appropriate implementing restrictive covenant. PP -08 7 Page Eight E-106-77 Additional habitat area will be set aside in the Springbrook Creek area, which can also be supplemented with appropriate plant material. Therefore, it appears that the proposal, through incorporation of this plant material, very satisfactorily conforms to Resolution No. 1923. 5. The P -1 drainage channel should be reserved for the public since this channel will serve many properties in the Green River Valley for the purpose of public health, safety and welfare. Public access for pedestrian and bicycle use should be provided to the channel. 6. The railroad network on the site will be extensive but has caused only one potential problem in crossing one of the proposed streets. In the southwest portion of the site the railroad crosses Longacres Parkway at two points within approximately 265 feet. Concern by the Traffic Engineering Division of the Public Works Department is appropriate. This problem should be resolved prior to the final plat (Section 9- 1108.24.E and Green River Comprehensive Plan, page 6). 7. In accordance with the revisions indicated on Exhibit #7, attached, the vehicular circulation is satisfactory. Additional study of the revisions is necessary by the applicant and city staff, however, sufficient direction exists to prepare the final plat. However, additional consideration should be given to: a. Connecting S.W. 33rd Street, S.W. 31st Street and S.W. 30th Street to fora a minor east -west through access road. b. Connecting S.W. 42nd Street and S.W. 41st Street. _ . ! i c. Extending S.W. 29th Street one more lot to the east. d. Restricting any direct access along the East Valley Road and S.W. 43rd Street. 8. A perimeter landscaping buffer would conform to the objectives of page 6, Green River Comprehensive Plan. The staff recommendation of a 15 -foot buffer appears reasonable. Within the landscape scheme for the buffer should be integrated the landscaping to define and emphasize ingress and egress points to the site (page 6, Green River Comprehensive Plan). All entrances to the site along S.W. 43rd Street and the East Valley Road should be so defined and emphasized. To a lesser extent the entrance from Strander Boulevard should be treated in this manner. 9. Page 8, Green River Comprehensive Plan recommends that future phases of development be rehabilitiated for wildlife preservation purposes until the land is actually developed. If the record phase of the proposal is beyond the near future, hydroseeding and /or landscaping should be implemented as appropriate during the first phase of the project. PP -d, .77 Page Nine E- 106 -77 10. Although apparently all of the corner lots do not conform to Section 9 1108.24.E.(d), this requirement is specified for approval of the Planning Department. Therefore, the conformance with the requirement should be reviewed again, and any changes, if any, made to the plat map. 11. Since the East Valley Road is designated as an Industrial Collector, the necessary ten feet of land for the required public right -of -way should be dedicated to the public. 12. Conformance with the design considerations of the Green River Valley Comprehensive Plan can be most appropriately reviewed during the special permit process required for any development of the site. It should be clear that the design objectives of the Green River Valley require structures of appropriate design. Each special permit will be reviewed accordingly. 13. Regarding the requested Exceptions, the Springbrook Creek creates "...special physical circumstances..." (Section 9- 1109.1.A) that cause difficulty in designing the plat. These circumstances do not deprive the applicant of the "...reasonable use or development..." of the land but somewhat increase the difficulty of design and development. In order to achieve the number of lots that are proposed, the Exceptions are necessary. Otherwise, larger and fewer lots would result. The same rights and privileges are enjoyed by the applicant and surrounding property owners. Any hardship created by the physical limitations of the site do not apply to these rights and privileges (Section 9- 1109.1.B). Granting the Exceptions will not be "...detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the vicinity." (Section 9- 1109.1.C) It is doubtful that a difference could be discerned at the site between development with and without the Exceptions. The Exceptions requested from Sections 9- 1108.24.A(6) and 9- 1108.24.D should be granted. RECOMMENDATION AND DECISION: Based upon the record, testimony, findings and conclusions the Examiner recommends that the City Council approve the preliminary plat of Orillia Industrial Park subject to the following conditions: 1. Springbrook Creek,and P -1 drainage channel be reserved for drainage, wildlife habitat and public access in perpetuity. Pedestrian and bicycle easements of 20 feet are to connect the cul -de -sacs shown on Exhibit #7 and S.W. 38th Street with the creek and channel. 2. Springbrook Creek and P -1 drainage channel are to be improved for wildlife habitat per Resolution No. 1923 and in consideration of recommendations by the Seattle Audubon Society. .The Planning Department shall review and approve the plant materials and landscaping for these areas. 3. Public Works and Planning Department resolution relative to the subject site of the alignment of Strander Boulevard to minimize impacts upon the city's 20 -acre wetland. 4. Public Works Department review of the closely spaced railroad crossings at the { southwest portion of the site. If found necessary, appropriate revisions to their location should be made. 5. Public Works and Planning Department review of: a. Connecting S.W. 33rd Street, S.W. 31st Street and S.W. 30th Street. b. Connecting S.W. 42nd Street and S.W. 41st Street. c. Extending S.W. 29th Street one more lot to the east. d. Restricting any direct access to the East Valley Road and S.W. 43rd Street. e. Design of the cul -de -sacs per the applicant's suggestion of increased paving. This review is to be made with the applicant to determine if the above can be implemented. Any necessary revisions should be made per the approval of these departments. C PP -0( 77 Page Ten E -10 '- /7 / '' 6. Corrections made to the plat map (Exhibit #15) per the plat map (Exhibit #7) as approved by the Planning Department. P T 6 v 7 7. Fifteen -foot perimeter landscape buffer and landscaping of ingress and egress points per approval of the Planning Department. The landscape buffer should include material for wildlife habitat but be of predominantly screening material. Access points should be defined and emphasized, particularly along S.W. 43rd Street and the East Valley Road. All landscaping is to be of a continuous plan. 8. Any portion of the site which will not be developed in the near future is to be hydroseeded and /or landscaped per review and approval of the Planning Department. !i 9. Review by the Planning Department of conformance of corner lots with Section 9- 1108.24.E.(d). Any appropriate changes should be made to the plat map. 10. Dedication of ten (10) feet for public right -of -way along the East Valley Road. 11. Incorporation of the above in restrictive covenants where appropriate, per the Planning Department for submittal with the final plat. It is the decision of the Examiner to approve Exceptions from Sections 9- 1108.24.A.(6) and 9- 1108.24.D based upon the criteria of Section 9- 1109.1.A and C. A copy of the plat map, revised per the above, is to be sent to the Seattle Audubon . Society via Mr. Leonard Steiner. ORDERED THIS 16th day of December, 1977.

AGENDA ITEMVII B. PUBLIC HEARING: PRELIMINARY PI AT (flaripr Tnductriaj Park) REQUEST: PRELIMINARY PLAT of Glacier Industrial Park APPLICANT: Burlington Northern Land Development Company LOCATION: Approximately 1200 feet south of Longacres and lying adjacent the east line of Burlington Northern rail line. SIZE: 72.5 acres ZONE: M -1 (Light Industry) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Industrial - Light FINDINGS: 1. Burlington Northern's Land Development Company has initiated platting proce- dures to subdivide the land area depicted in Exhbiit A to facilitate develop- ment of the planned Glacier Industrial Park. 2. The corporate boundaries of Tukwila and Renton coincide near the northwest portion of the planned industrial park. As such, the two (2) individual portions of the park must be processed under the respective jurisdiction's regulations. (SEE, Exhibit B) 3. The land affected by the proposed plat consists of generally flat alluvium soil. Characteristics include low bearing capacity, slight erosion hazard, poor internal drainage and good arability. As such, the soils are best suited for agriculture. Hence, urban development will require significant site preparation prior to development. (SEE, Data Inventory: Tukwila Plan- ning Area; 1975) 4. That portion of the planned industrial park lying within the corporate limits of Tukwila is 72.5 acres in total size. The 72 acres is proposed to be divided into 6 lots, the smallest of which is 5.0 acres. (SEE, Exhibit C.) 5. The six (6) lots are proposed to be served by Longacres Parkway running north -south and a single cul -de -sac running east -west. 6. Utilities proposed to serve the plat are as indicated in Exhibits D and E and as follows: A. Water: Two (2) 12 -inch water lines are extended westerly from the City of Renton system to the east line of Longacres Parkway. A 12 -inch line also extends westerly to the P -1 Channel then southerly to connect to S.W. 38th Street water line. Planning Conimissio( • Staff Report Page 2 15 December 1977 B. Sanitary Sewer: An 8 -inch sanitary sewer line extends southerly along the west line of Longacres Parkway to the southeast corner of the plat, at which point it connects with the Metro trunk line. An 8 -inch line also extends westerly within the S.W. 33rd Street cul -de -sac. C. Storm Sewer: A 24 -inch storm sewer line extends southerly from the northeast portion of the plat along the west line of Longacres Park- way and a 30 -inch line extends westerly within the S.W. 33rd Street cul -de -sac. 7. Public Works Department has indicated that the extension of Renton's public utilities to service the Tukwila portion of the park will require a franchise agreement between the two cities to define the actual extent of service and the costs to Tukwila for such service. (SEE, Exhibit F) 8. Fire Department has indicated the sufficiency of the water service to be dependent upon several considerations but generally seems adequate. Also noted the fire hydrants used within Renton are not useable by Tukwila or most other fire prevention departments and recommends the hydrants used within the Tukwila portion of the industrial park conform to Tukwila stan- dards. (SEE, Exhibit G) 9. The common corporate boundary coincides with centerline of Longacres Parkway. The portion in Renton is planned to be a boulevard within a 90 -foot right -of way while Tukwila's standard is 60 feet for a collector arterial. This pre- sents a problem in designing and constructing the street. 10. S.W.,33rd Street cul -de -sac is approximately 700 feet in length. Section 17.24.040 limits cul -de -sac length to 600 feet. S.W. 33rd Street is proposed to serve portions of lots 2 and 3 and all of lots 5 and 6. (SEE, Exhibit C) As such, it will encourage future short plats of lots 2, 3, 5 and 6 which will also require new roadways. Moreover, the location of S.W. 33rd Street in consideration of the location of S.W. 31st Street, S.W. 34th Street and S.W. 38th Street will generate additional traffic channelization conflicts. Consequently, the boulevard design of Long - acres Parkway is seriously diminished. 11. The Planning Division has identified a general street pattern which has been forwarded to the Renton Planning Department for consideration as a revision to the plat proposed for the Renton portion. (SEE, Exhibit H) That revision was presented to the Renton Hearing Examiner as a recommendation of the Ren- ton Planning Department on 6 December 1977. A decision has not as yet been rendered. 12. The P -1 Drainage Channel, situated along the west and north boundaries of the proposed plat, varies in width from approximately 250 feet to approximately 350 feet and is intended to serve as the principal drainage channel draining the east side of the Green River Valley and feeding the P -1 pumping station o the Green River. 13. Much of this land area is subject to seasonal innodation in its natural state. Section 17.20.020 (TMC) requires Department of Ecology approval prior to con- sideration of Final Plat. 14. Location of rail easements are not identified by the Preliminary Plat as required by Section 17.28.070 (TMC). 15. The proposed industrial park generally complements the Comprehensive Plan. 16. The City of Tukwila has issued a Declaration of Non - Significance based principally on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) which was prepared under the direction of the City of Renton. (A copy of that EIS is attached to this Staff Report.) CONCLUSIONS: 1. It is essential to consider the proposed plat in a manner which will best prevent confusing and impractical conditions for the industrial park and to achieve a subdivision which promotes the best interest of both municipalities. Planning Commission( Page 3 Staff Report 15 December 1977 2. Although Tukwila has no utilities to service the Tukwila plat, they can be and are planned for extension from the Renton system. ,However, this must be accomplished through a written agreement between the two municipalities to define the extent of service and its associated costs. 3. The roadway pattern within the Tukwila palt does not promote orderly and efficient development of the land nor ensure appropriate circulation for public safety purposes. The general roadway pattern depicted in Exhibit H accomplishes both objectives as well as maintaining the boulevard design of Longacres Parkway. 4. All streets and utilities within the Tukwila plat, with the exception of Longacres Parkway, should be designed and constructed in accordance with City of Tukwila Public Works Department standards. Longacres Parkway, in all practicality, should be designed and constructed to City of Renton requirements. 5. The land area depicted as the P -1 Drainage Channel should be reserved for drainage purposes. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the Findings and Conclusions of this Staff Report as the basis upon which to recommend the City Council approve the Preliminary Plat with the following stipulations: 1.

Orillia Industrial Park of Tukwila - Utility Plan Per your request of 21 November 1977 we enclose the Utility Plan for the above preliminary plat. The only existing utility in the area is the 72" Metro Trunk Sewer on the future Longacres Parkway. This trunk sewer will be used to serve the plat with a connection at the southeast corner of the plat. From there 8" collector sewers at a slope of 0.4% will be extended north on Longacres Parkway and west on S.W. 33rd St. The Longacres Parkway sewer will also serve the east side within the City of Renton. There is presently no water service near the plat and the future P - 1 channel will limit service from the west. The plat will be served by Renton water through the system developed by the Renton portion of the Orillia Industrial Park. This system will provide 5,500 GPM fire flow to the Tukwila portion of the plat. The water system will include a 12" main on Longacres Parkway with a 12 ". main running west on S.W. 33rd Street and eventually looping back south into the Renton portion of the plat. Fire hydrants will be spaced at 330' maximum on public right of ways and as required by code or ordinance within private areas. Storm drainage will be closed conduit running easterly to Springbrook Creek except for areas immediately adjacent to the P - 1 channel. Very truly yours, • GARDNER ENGINEERS, INC._ ; 1 . Mortimer H.

Although the main (water) seems large enough, the adequacy of the water supply depends on what feeds them. -2. It should be noted that the fire hydrants used in Tukwila meet National Standards, the one in Renton do not. Installation of fire hydrants should be in compliance with Tukwila City Ord. 729. . Fire hydrants cannot be placed in the roadways as indicated on the drawing.

Smith RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT OF GLACIER INDUSTRIAL PARK (FILE #PP-086-77) Dear Mr. Smith: Stp2thcfintor IV:1:3h.ington 9: (2)C;) EXHIBIT H , • Thank you for the notice of hearing on 6 December 1977 for the above-referenced project. As you already know, this office is keenly interested in the results of that re- view as Burlington Northern has filed a Preliminary Plat application for that portion of the planned industrial park which lies within the corporate limits of Tukwila and the Tukwila Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing on 15 December 1977. After meeting with our. Fire and Public Works Departments, this office has con- cluded the S.W. 33rd Street cul-de-sac does not promote orderly and efficient development of the serviced land area. It appears the S.W. 38th Street cul-de- sac (within Renton) fails in the same respect. Toward resolution of this problem, this office anticipates recommendation to the Tukwila Planning Commission that the right-of-way pattern be established in a manner similar to the attached map. Obviously, alteration Of the right-of-way pattern in Tukwila is futile if not complemented within the Renton portion, and vice versa.. In order to determine the usefulness of our anticipated recommendation to the Tukwila Planning Commis- sion, this office requests the right-of-way pattern depicted in the attached map be considered by your office as a reasonable amendment to the Preliminary Plat which will promote orderly and efficient development of the affected land area as well as ensure appropriate circulation for public safety purposes. 1 . ) •-: , .--.r.43.r----;--.-- , - .1: -. !.••••"'7 74.

LOCATED IN RENTON /TUKWILA, WASHINGTON PUPSUANT TO THE WASHINGTON STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT OF 1971 R C W 43.21 (MTV' OF RENTON N3N a D PAPITMENT INTRODUCTION This document has been prepared by Wilsey & Ham, Inc., Consultants for Glacier Park Company, a subsidiary of the Burling Northern Railroad in conjunction with and under the direction of the City of Renton Planning Department. Its intended purpose is to describe the environmental effects that will result from administrative actions proposed to be undertaken by the City in permitting grading and filling activities with regard to proposed development of the Orillia Industrial District by the Glacier Park Company. This document will be distributed for review and comment as prescribed by the State Environmental Policy Act of 1971 and will subsequently be the basis for the City's Final Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed administra- tive actions. Filling and grading activities • will be undertaken by the Glacier Park Company upon receipt of City approvals and will have direct and visible effects on the environment. These direct effects are addressed in this report as "immediate" environmental impacts of the City's proposed actions. The future development of the Orillia site to industrial uses which are allowable under existing and requested industrial zone classifications will also have significant effects on the environment and these are herein described as the "eventual" environ- mental impacts of the City's proposed actions. Much of the technical information supporting this document has been provided by the Glacier Park Company in the form of acomprehensive'environmental .. assessment of their proposed development. The assessment has provided the data and analysis necessary to support the conclusions made in this report. Those reviewers who require detailed background data are referred to the. City of Renton Planning Department, where the environmental assessment is on file. OCT 21 1971 Date: Dctob,r 10, 1)75 Nature of This Report: SUMMARY Final Environmental Impact Statement Justification for the Proposed Actions: Official Title of the Proposed Action: o Special Permit to Fill and Grade o Grading License Sponsor: City of Renton Planning Department Contact: James L. Magstadt Type of Proposed Action: The City of Renton proposes to perform administrative processing of requests by the Glacier Park Company (hereinafter referred to as the Applicant) for permits. to fill and grade. These requests involve property in Southwest Renton, commonly known as the Orillia Industrial District (hereinafter re- ferred.to as the. "Proj ect). A portion of the Project lies within the corporate limits of the City of Tukwila and is not addressed by this report. The proposed actions are in conformance with the City's legally established administrative policies and procedures. The Applicant's requests have been submitted in the prescribed format. Summary of Impacts to the Environment: 1. Topography, Geomorphology, and Soil Resources Site preparation will involve filling and grading of the subject site . and these activities will constitute changes to the topography. The potential agricultural productivity of prime agricultural soils will be foregone as a result of filling and eventual use of the site for more intensive uses. 137 acres have been previously filled in recent years leaving a balance of 457 acres to be filled within the City of Renton corporate limits. The associated reduction in crop- forage - livestock producing capacity is irrevocable. 3. Vegetation 4. Wildlife 5. Noise 2. Hydrology and Water Quality Surface runoff water from the Project site during and after placement of fill will contain an increased load of sediment compared to present conditions. Runoff carrying sediment will be controlled by limiting filling and grading activities to the dry season and by pro- viding temporary retention of runoff water within the project site. Subsequent to filling and grading, it can be anticipated that ultimate industrial development of the site will increase the total runoff water volume and street- surface contaminants will be introduced, further affecting water quality. Although an extensive vegetational cover exists over much of the site, only selected areas are representative of the plant communities which existed prior to man's intervention. Past changes to the site include use for agricultural purposes and extensive filling. Since the time of these activities, plant communities have become considerably re-established. Elsewhere bog communities and relatively thick forested areas exist. Grading and filling resulting from the proposed action will involve the covering of all vegetation except where the land surface presently exists at elevations of 18 feet above mean sea level or higher. Vegetation will not be disturbed on the portion of the project site to be dedicated to the City as a greenbelt. Plant communities on the Project site support significant bird and mammal populations. There are widely diverse plant communities on this site and large amount of "edge habitat" is found between the vegetational types. Edge habitats, as a general rule are productive in terms of animal popula- tions. Filling and grading will result in the removal of wildlife habitat, except in the green belt area. The Project site represents one of the few remaining undeveloped properties in the lower Green - Duwamish River valley within the City of Renton. Many of the species of animals which were known to be present in the Puget Sound lowland have been disappearing as urbanization proceeds. Some of the disappearing species are replaced by others which can better adapt to altered habitats resulting from man's activities. Activities result- ing from the proposed action will promote a continuation of this regional trend. The noise resulting from the filling and grading operation can be controlled at acceptable levels by adhering to simple noise control pro- cedures. As a result, noise from construction equipment per se should not be greater than that of many vehicles now using S.W. 43rd Street and Valley Freeway. <+':� - 6. Air Quality Noise impacts resulting from the anticipated ultimate development will be related to the cumulative effects of a variety of new land uses that will occur in the area including the expansion of existing tran- sportation facilities. Existing noise sources already in the vicinity will, for the most part, overshadow noise resulting from new land uses. Filling and grading activities resulting from the proposed action will temporarily increase dust in the vicinity of the site. Subsequent to filling and grading, anticipated ultimate development will result in some degradation of air quality although there will be compliance with all applicable air quality regulations. Traffic The initial filling operation will require transport of approximately 60% of the needed fill material from a location outside of the City of Renton in King County (about 3 miles southeast of the site). Fill truck traffic from this borrow site will occur over a period of two years. The balance of the fill material will come from an undeter- mined number of additional sources. Impact from importing the remaining fill material is expected to be less than during the initial two years since import will occur over the entire period of Project development. It is aniticpated that, upon full development, the project site will generate approximately 50,000 trips per day. This traffic will be distributed on the nearby freeways and arterials towards urban centers roughly in proportion to the population concentrations. The existing transportation network (both freeways and arterials) will probably require improvements to accommodate such increases in traffic. � .�� Recipients of the Draft and Final Impact Statements: Susan Ringwood 16841 124th Avenue S.

THE PROPOSED ACTION DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR APPROVAL OF GLACIER PARK COMPANY'S ORILLIA INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT • 1. Type of Action The City of Renton proposes to perform administrative processing ofa request by the Glacier Park Company (hereafter referred to as the Applicant) for permits to fill and and grade. This request involves property in Southwest Renton commonly known as the Orillia Industrial District (hereafter referred to as the Project). 2. Location and Background (See Figure A) The proposed project site is located in the lower Green River Valley and lies primarily within the jurisdiction of Renton but also includes a small portion of Tukwila on the west side. S.W. 43rd Street /S. 180th Street forms the south boundary of the -site as well as serving as the jurisdictional boundary between Renton and Kent. The other boundaries of the project site are formed by the East Valley Highway on the east side; Longacres Racetrack, the Shell property, the Mobil Oil tank farm and the Golden Grain Macaroni Company, on the north side; the Union Pacific, the Milwaukee Road and the Burlington Northern mainline tracks on the west side and; the Sternoff Metals property on the southwest corner. The immediate vicinity of the project site can be characterized by a combination of rapidly developing industrial lands, open space or agricultural lands, with a few scattered residences. The project itself is large (approximately 594 acres) and is one of the largest tracts of undeveloped land under one ownership in this portion of the valley. In addition, the small unincorporated community of Orillia is located to the southwest of the site on the boundaries of Renton,. Kent, and Tukwila. Portions of the land upon which the industrial development is to be located have been recently cultivated and other portions have been filled and graded. Most of the site has been cleared at one time or another, however, some areas have returned to a heavily vegetated condition (See Biophysical Description). The Renton portion of the project site is part of a larger area annexed to Renton by Ordinance No. 1745 on April 14, 1959. This annexation was amended twice by Ordinance No. 1764 on May 27, 1959, and Ordinance No. 1928 on December 22, 1961. Upon annexation, the area was zoned "G ", General Classification District, by the City of Renton. "The purpose and object of this classification is to regulate the use of land and generally undeveloped areas not otherwise zoned following annexation, so . as to prevent the uncontrolled and scattered intrusion of business, C3P)LLIA I NCI 1.3S e 3.AL' LOCATION )=33STM)C:T 2 FISUI~3E Borrow Site industrial and similar uses which would be in conflict or incom- patible with existing or planned future land uses, and which would constitute nonconforming intrusions into areas best suited for protected residential uses." Subsequently on December 24, 1969, portions of the east and south of the site were rezoned from "G" to "M-P ", Manufacturing Park. Existing zoning is shown on Figure B. The Tukwila portion was annexed on February 17, 1958, by Ordinance No. 257 and was zoned M-1, Light Industry, by Ordinance No. 289 on September 21, 1959. Anticipated Permits, Approvals, and Reviews a. The Proposed Actions The Applicant desires to fill and grade some 457 acres of the Project site which remain unfilled. In order to do so, the Applicant must comply with the Renton Mining, Excavation and Grading Ordinance (Chapter 23, Title IV [Building Regulations] of Ordinance No. 1628 known as "Code of General Ordinances of the City of Renton ").. The Renton Mining, Excavation and Grading Ordinance requires the Applicant to secure both •a special permit to fill and grade from the Planning Commission and an annual license to operate under the ordinance from the Planning and Public Works Departments. The granting of a special permit and annual license by these City agencies are the proposed actions to be undertaken by the City of Renton and as such, are the subject of this report. Procedures for compliance with the ordinance require that prospective applicants submit a Master Plan, a Grading Plan and Drainage Plan. The Master Plan for development must in -. clude the following elements: land use, circulation, railroad service, public and private utilities, existing factors limiting development. This information has been prepared and submitted by the Applicant. b. State Floor Control Zone Permit. 4. Development Resulting From the Proposed Actions The proposed actions will result in the immediate filling and grading of the Project site. Subsequent to the proposed actions, it is anticipated that the site will eventually be developed for industrial use. , .7.1-r-gi• : • • •-_-- 7'.1.• , • i t I 1 " m m L --- -- !& fl. 4 :41k1v,',,-- 7 , 0 „ . ., a 4..... i ,. .. „ t . i .... e. , • .4, !■c$1 t... ...'.....i.i.L91;.,.4 • : —.. , --- • - ..T . ..... i ..117'.. :.

Immediate Development (Filling and Grading) Most of the Project site will require grading and filling for con- struction ano flood control purposes. The Applicant will initially grade the site to approximate elevations only. Subsequently, the purchaser of any property can be expected to regrade within his own area as required by the building or other construction to be installed on the site. Since this will vary with every purchaser and every site, and since it is not possible to anticipate the future requirements or construction, no attempt will be made to meet any future building grades in the initial filling and grading operation. An elevation of approximately 17 feet above mean sea level will be maintained where it is anticipated railroad tracks will be located. Street grades generally vary from elevation 15.8 to elevation 17.0. This will divert all storm runoff away from the tracks and prevent any ponding in these areas. Establishing the railroad tracks at elevation 17 feet will require a floor elevation for loading docks to service the railroad at'approxi- mately elevation 20.75 feet.. In general, most sites will probably require additional fill above the elevation shown on the grading plan in order to meet future building levels. Depending on the types of buildings to be constructed, excess soil surcharge material may be placed temporarily on individual sites to induce settlement and provide site stability sufficient to enable building construction to proceed. Fill material for the initial fill and grading which will be undertaken by the Applicant will 'be obtained from a Glacier Park Company owned borrow site in unincorporated King County (off of car road - see Figure A). In order to take advantage of this currently available source of fill, removal will have to be accom- plished by October 15, 1977, due to limitations imposed by King Co. The King County borrow site will provide approximately 60 % of the fill required for the Project site. The balance will be obtained from other sources. In particular, the Applicant will actively seek out sources of fill material that become available as surplus excavation from nearby construction sites. The Applicant expects several thousand cubic yards to be made available in this manner annually at a cost much below that to obtain the same material from commercial borrow pit sources. If the Applicant experiences a market demand for industrial sites which exceeds the rate at which fill material is available as surplus from other construction sites, the necessary material will be purchased and imported from nearby . commercial borrow sites. Placement of fill will conform with general City safety require- ments regarding hours of operation and removal of debris from the route between the various sources and the'fill area. All fill will conform with specifications in the Renton Mining and Excavation Ordinance. The King County borrow site is located just above the valley about l mile to the southeast. Operation and rehabilitation of this borrow site will be in conformance with requirements established by King County. These requirements include the following: o A plan for rehabilitation or reforestation of the borrow site. • Adequate buffering of the borrow site. o A. cut slope limitation of 2H:IV. • An overall site east -west grade limitation of 6 %. • A limitation in the hours of haul operation from between 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, weekdays only. • Access to and from the site via Carr Road only. The Applicant is also required to meet with the King County Grading Technical Committee to work out methods of reducing impact of the hauling operation on the community which may include requiring the use of the most current technology • for noise suppression on trucks, loaders and other grading equipment and devising measures for removal of trackage from the trucks before entering Carr Road. Carr Road is to be swept and washed if necessary and the material is not to be. washed into stream channels of residential gardens. The planned phasing of the fill operation is indicated on Figure C. Quantities of fill required for each phase are the . following: Phase 1 1,000,000 cubic yards 2 1,056,500 cubic yards 3 36,600 cubic yards 4 171,500 cubic yards 5 352,000 cubic yards • On a temporary basis, drainage from the filled portions of the site will be accommodated by a system of earth berms and under- ground pipes. The site will be divided into separate segments by low earth berms which will detain surface runoff water with- in each segment. This will enable much of the sediment which may be carried by surface runoff flows to settle out before the storm water enters drainage ditches and is subsequently carried to the Green River drainage system. Underground outfall pipes from each segment will be adjusted at the upper intake end to allow water to pond before entering the pipe, thus providing time to settle out sediments and prevent erosion from overland sheet flows of runoff water. The cross- section below details the generalized fill program components described above. 6 0 b. t -Ti tj ix z FUTURE a SCS P -I z o i DRAINAGE a a CHANNEL z W z W I 1= ¢ 1 co X N I .

NOTE: Where the outlet velocities from the proposed drainpipes exceed three feet per second, rock riprap will be placed on the full channel section for a minimum distance of ten feet, being five feet both upstream and 'downstream from the proposed outlets. The developable portions of the Project site will be utilized for rail oriented industrial uses. As shown in the site plans (see Figure D), less intensive industrial 'uses requiring smaller lots are planned for the east and south margins, and more intensive uses requiring larger sites will be concentrated in the center. It should be noted that although a distinction between small lot - low .intensity uses and large lot - high intensity uses is intended at the present stage of project planning, ultimate lot sizes will reflect the individual needs of prospective tenants and owners. A 23 -acre parcel in the southeast corner of the site at the Inter- section of East Valley Highway and S.W. 43rd Street/ S. 180th Street could be utilized for convenience and retail shopping. :About 49 acres of the Project site will serve as right-of-way for the proposed P1 drainage channel which will be constructed by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, (SCS). . ti r {�•:" mow: r.mv� r .•r l ' ''=._ = N - - -�- t �:� rg �� £ VIlLfY RD Au511N CO.

The Applicant has indicated a willingness to dedicate JO acres to the City for this purpose. During recent deliberations by the Renton Planning Commission involving proposed modifications to the Comprehensive Plan, it has been suggested that an area totaling 80 acres be designated as green balt,at this location. Design Objectives � - Location of small lot, lass intensive manufacturing park uses and commercial uses along S.W. 43rd and East Valley Highway. Location of large lot more intensive industrial uses towards . center of site. Free and ready access to freeways. _ Rail service primarily along the back lot lines in order �m minimize conflicts between rail and street traffic. - Routing of through traffic to specific arterials 'rather than through industrial development areas. . , 10 Description of Proposed Layout , Fixed Streets: On the .Site Plan, Figure D, both fixed (heavy lines) and non-fixed (broken lines) internal roads are shown. ' Oaksdale Avneue S.W. and Lind Avenue S.W. are shown as fixed streets and they provide connection with major arterials to the north and the south. These fixed streets provide the basis for the layout of the entire industrial tract, and it is anticipated that all main utility lines and most of the internal traffic Flow will follow these fixed streets. Initial development will occur along these fixed streets as well as the existing arterials. It is anticipated that Oaksdale Avenue will be improved and will provide continuity northward for traffic heading in that direction. Oaksdale Avenue will be located as shown as it passes through the site, however, the off-site route as it proceeds northward has not yet been determined. Non-Fixed Streets: The locations of the non-fixed streets may be shifted to meet the desires of locating industries and may reflect property lines as development progresses. The over-all pattern should remain basically as laid out. The right-of-way should allow sufficient space for the placement and maintenance of all utilities within the right-of-way limits. It is deemed desirable that through traffic (not traffic that originates or terminates in the industrial area) should be routed around the industrial area and not through it. The street system as laid out accom- plishes this, and yet is flexible enough to fit within the city street system of Rengon. d. Utilities and Public Facilities (Refer to Figure E) Development of the proposed site will create an additional burden on City of Renton departments, for example additional fire•and police service will be required. The project area represents the single largest undeveloped tract .of land in the valley and will, upon ultimate development, provide much of the new employment expected within this portion of the Green River Valley. Other industrial development can be expected in remaining undeveloped portions of the valley. As a consequence of future growth, employment is expected to increase by about 80% by 1990 for that portion of the valley which includes Renton, Tukwila and Kent. By 1990 this portion of the valley is expected to account for approximately 20% of the increase in employment in King County. Fire Protection Several fire stations are located in the vicinity of the site. The two closest are the newly opened Tukwila station to the west and the Andover Industrial Park and a King County station about a mile and a half to the east. A new station is proposed for the vicinity of the Project site to be built at some unknown time in the future. A recent bond issue to fund this station did not receive voter approval. The locations of the existing fire stations are shown on the previously given figure. There is a mutual response agreement between the involved departments, and adequate protection should be available for the proposed site. Water The site is currently served by the Renton water system. Renton has a 12 -inch main along the East Valley Highway and a 12 -inch main along S.W. 43rd Street /S. 180th Street. A project is now under construction for a 16 -inch and 24 - inch main south along Lind Avenue S.W. to 29th Street, with a connection eastward to the East Valley Highway main. Future plans include an extension of the 24 -inch Lind Avenue main to 43rd Street and a 24 -inch line to connect this main with the proposed Talbot Hill Reservoir up the hill to the east. No definite schedule has been set for completion of these facilities, but the City indicates that the intention is to keep up with the demand for service created by development in the area. Tukwila currently has a 10 -inch main along the west edge of West Valley Highway in the vicinity of the site. As development occurs in the 80 -acre portion of the site which is in Tukwila, the two cities will have to decide which system will serve this area. No specific discussion on this matter has yet taken place. Sanitary Sewer A major Metro .sewer interceptor runs northward through the site and directly into the Renton treatment plant. These facilities are adequate to handle the proposed development and anticipated future development in the vicinity. �� ORILLIA 1 NI 1...9 ST MAL 131S LCINGACRAS of METRO TREATMENT PLANT 121 • W I- W cn 01 ..1 01 • < • > tj a ut • IPUEBIL.3C ESTIILRTIES >. at EXISTING >4.• W -4:-.

Drainage Drainage plans for the site are ultimately dependent on the timing and eventual construction of the drainage system for the valley as proposed by the Soil Conservation Service. In the interim, temporary drainage plans for. the Project site have been developed: Temporary Small Drainage Ditches (refer to detailed drawing, Pg. 7) Preceding the SCS drainage project, drainage will be accomplished using a series of temporary small drainage ditches which will connect with Springbrook Creek and the point where the creek be- comes the Drainage District No. 1 ditch. Large areas will be bounded by drainage ditches and 1 -foot berms. Water contained within areas served by the drainage ditches will drain into the ditches via 8 -inch pipes. This system will retard surface runoff water for a period of time sufficient to allow settling of silts, and to reduce the peak runoff to an acceptable level. This ap- proach will satisfy the King County Division of, Hydraulics design requirements for a 25 year storm. ;Appendix C includes detailed drainage computations utilized In development of this temporary drainage plan. .. Construction of the SCS, "P -1" Channel Another solution for providing a drainage system prior to the construction and operation of the SCS drainage project involved constructing the SCS "P -1" Channel along the west side of the project site at the initiative of the applicant. Drainage from the developable areas would be collected in this segment of the "P -1" Channel, which would be connected to the Drainage District No. 'L , ditch. As with the proposed approach, the existing drainage ditch would be used to carry runoff water until such time as its function is replaced by the "P -1" Channel. If this later approach were pursued, then the material excavated from the proposed ' "P -1" Channel right - of -way could be used for non - structural fill or possibly to some extent, for landscaped areas. A soils investigation has shown that these soils, which are organic in nature, . are largely unsuitable for structural fill. Acceptable.uses for the material excavated from the "P -1" Channel right -of -way might include use as fill under- lying parking lots. If the SCS drainage project • is not_approved, ultimate development of the site will incorporate an on -site retention system that will be an adaptation of one of the above temporary plans and will be designed to meet the City of Fenton requirements for storm water retention and oil /water separation. 5. Timing of the Proposed Development If the King County borrow site is to be utilized, placement of the fill must be accomplished within two years (by October 15, 1977) as specified by the King County requirements applicable to the borrow site. The balance of the fill will be imported over the life of the project development. Subsequent to the placement of fill and initial site preparation activities, specific areas will be developed generally in sequence described in the previous section on access and utilities. The timing 1 of the development of specific areas will . remain flexible in order to meet the needs of prospective tenants and owners. Development will proceed over as much as a 25 year span. The reader should consider the discussion of impact in light of this fact. Many of the anticipated environmental effects related to industrial development will occur over this period of time. 6. Proposed Methods of Financing and Financial Sponsors The commercial and industrial development of the Project site, occurring as a consequence of the proposed action, will be financed with private capital. A number of facilities such as utilities and roads servicing the area involve the expenditure of public funds. For example, major arterials will presumably be accomplished in concert with city partici- pation in order to obtain U.S. Economic Development Administration funds, etc. Also the construction of the proposed SCS drainage project will involve expenditure of local and federal funds. Historical Background and Planning and Policy Decisions Relating to Flood Control Flood control on the Green River has been accomplished by the construction of levees on the river and the construction of the Howard Hanson Dam in 1962 about 40 miles upstream. In addition, future drainage is expected to be accomplished by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service (SCS) in cooperation with the local cities sponsoring the project. Plans for the future drainage project were completed in the 1960's by. the SCS inconjunctiori with the Green River Flood Control Zone District (administered by King County). The drainage system will be comprised of a network of channels and large capacity pumping plants in the valley. During storm periods interior valley-drainage will be pumped into the Green River at several locations. The largest pump plant (3000 cfs capacity) is located approximately 1 1/2 miles north of the project site. This plant is designed to handle a 10-year storm without any back -up of water and a hundred year storm with some channel and holding pond capacity utilized. For urban lands in this area, a fill elevation of 15 feet (14 feet plus 1 foot freeboard) is considered necessary by the SCS for ade- quate flood protection from the hundred year flood. Design criteria for the SCS project assume that 89% of incoming precipi- tation runs off and enters their drainage system. Eighty -nine percent (89%) is a common factor used for urban runoff situations. In effect, SCS has designed the system to be compatible with the uses of the land proposed for the Orillia Industrial Park. The Corps of Engineers has conducted studies which recommend improving the levees on the Green - Duwamish River. These studies advise that, without such improvements, the operation of the drainage system pumping plants during high water could cause levee failure and flooding. 8. Historical Background and Local Policy Decisions Relating to Wetlands The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) has proposed a drainage system for the Green River Valley, which, if approved will allow for the drainage necessary to accomplish the additional development of, much land in the Green River Valley. The Project site for the proposed Orillia Industrial Park is within the area which will benefit from the drainage scheme proposed by SCS. 14 It is anticipated by SCS that many Green River Valley wetlands will be drained as a result of the proposed drainage. project. The wetlands in the valley have been mapped as part of the SCS Draft Environmental Impact Statement, according to designations established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Several of these wetland types occur on the project site, see Biophysical Section. To compensate for the loss in wetland habitat area, the Green River Flood Control Zone district in conjunction with the SCS required that jurisdictions benefiting from the drainage project agree with certain provisions. The Renton City Council adopted these provisions by council resolution on June 12, 1974. The provisions have a direct bearing on the proposed project and are as follows: "The sponsoring local organizations will: 1. Purchase in title or perpetual easement . and maintain in public control during the life of the projects at least 110 acres of suitable wetland habitat at locations approved by the SCS and the Washington State Department of Game. 2. In granting commercial-industrial development permits with the Green River Flood Control Zone District require: A landscape development plan that will provide reasonable consideration for wildlife and aesthetic values (environmental quality) for the area planned for buildings and parking lots; A significant portion (not less than two percent) of the land involved be designated and commerce- industry managed for the life of the project to produce wildlife habitat for species best suited to site, conditions, and location; All land not needed or used for other purposes, be planned and managed for wildlife open -space until such time as•it is utilized in additional developments. With Soil Conservation Service assistance, preserve or replace existing wildlife habitat along affected channels. • • 4. With Soil Conservation Service assistance, provide fish passage through structural measures where deemed necessary by. the Service and the Washington State Department of Fisheries. 5. Adopt and enforce a land use. plan (policy) consistent with the regional land use policy of the Puget Sound Governmental Conference or the Regional Planning Authority having jurisdic- tion before Public Law 566 funds are expended on any part of an inter- dependent system." 15 9. Past Planning and Policy Decisions Relating to Land Use • a. Existing Land Use The proposed project site is situated in the lower Green River Valley and because of its location and size, decisions relating to its deve- lopment must be viewed within the context of existing uses as well as local and regional land use plans. Accordingly, in this section, land use trends and policies are examined for an area which includes the portion of the Green River Valley between central Kent - to the south, central Renton - to the northeast, and the north end of Tukwila - to the northwest. Figure F shows the general land use patterns in a Green River Valley regional context. The predominant uses in the valley floor are agriculture and openspace, unused land. Industrial development is the third most prevalent use, followed by filled land being prepared for development, and land used for commercial and retail activities. There is also scattered residential develop - ment in the valley, although most residential uses are located on the . plateaus to the east and west, or concentrated in Kent to the south or Renton and Tukwila to the north. The area shown on Figure F includes about half of the prime agri- cultural soils in the lower Green River Valley. Of the total' area within the Green River Valley about 22,150 acres of Class II and 111 soils of which 5,600 (26 %) is being farmed, 6,950 (31 %) is idle, and 9,600 (43%) is no longer being farmed. As urban expan- sion continues,agricultural lands in the valley are being con- verted to other uses such as industrial and commercial developments or is filled in preparation of such uses or has been purchased for future development and is. idle. Most of the proposed site falls into the latter two categories. . b. Future Land Use Plans A composite of the currently adopted comprehensive land use plans of the jurisdictions involved is shown in Figure G. Over 90 percent of the valley floor in the study area is designated for industrial development, with the remainder split between agricul- ture, openspace, and urban . commercial and residential development. The large, contiguous industrial designated area covers approximately 7,600 acres or nearly 12 square miles. Of this, approximately 1 1/2 square miles or about 13 percent has been developed for industry and another 8 percent has been filled and prepared for development. Most of this activity has occurred in Tukwila to the south and east of Southcenter, and in north Kent including the Boeing Space Center., 16 • 1 • uJ U Di O. D.

The proposed development lies entirely within this potential industrial land and represents about 10 percent of the future industrial pot- ential of this portion of the valley, according to current composite plans. The Land Use Map element of the Renton Comprehensive Plan is included as Figure H. This map indicates in greater detail Renton's adopted land use policy for the valley since 1965. This Land Use Map was the guiding policy at the time the Applicant began initial planning for the Orillia Industrial District. The City of Renton Planning Department is currently in the process of revising the Comprehensive Plan for the portion of the Green River Valley which lies within the jurisdiction of the City. The proposed Green River Valley Comprehensive Plan Amendment shows a manufacturing park designation for most of the proposed project site and a greenbelt designation for the northwest portion of the site. The area which the City proposes to designate as a greenbelt . corresponds to the 20 acre area the applicant has suggested he will dedicate to the City when his requested approvals are granted. The area indicated on the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment is 80 acres in size, however. c. Regional Land Use Plans The Puget Sound Governmental Conference has also developed a generalized land use map for this area. This map is quite general and designates a substantial portion of the valley floor for in- dustry, although only about two - thirds as much as do the various jurisdictions' comprehensive plans. The major difference is in the more extensive areas that the regional plan designates for agriculture and openspace. On the PSGC land use plans some of the project site is designated as openspace. The openspace designation is often given to areas on an interim basis until future provisions are made. INiJUH iRIA>_ ©3E _i RlCT 0 >- i CL' e ! u ( . 3 z > ii Li [l NT'�N C:DMP3=3 --3E.

MI GREENBELT deficiencies. These statements should not be construed to indicate that these soils have not been and cannot continue to be productive agricultural soils but they do require a higher level of management than some other series. Organic soils are uniquely adapted to certain crops such as onions, carrots and other tuberous vegetable crops because of the ease of mechanical harvest. b. Immediate Impacts on Soils As a result of the proposed actions portions of the Project site . which are not already filled or committed as a green belt will be filled. The entire site will then be graded to contours appropriate for initial site preparation. Final grades will be determined by the needs of the future tenants. Some impacts of the.filling acti- vities will be mitigated by conditions placed by King County on the removal of materials from the borrow site; and on -site by conditions in the Renton Fill Permit. c. Eventual Impacts on Soils The long -term impact of the ultimate development will be to permanently commit at least 500 acres of land to use as an industrial complex. The commitment of land to non - agricultural use and the associated reduction in potential crop - forage-livestock producing capacity is irrevocable. Hydrology a. 'Existing Conditions 21 Surface runoff in the proposed Project site is presently very slow owing to the gentle slope and high water table of the area. Structural developments such as roads, ditches and fill areas have altered the natural drainage patterns and this has resulted in local ponding of water. The main surface drainage course in this area is Springbrook Creek. Where the stream enters the Project site it has been straightened, deepened, and vegetation has been removed to facilitate quicker drainage. Water carried by Springbrook eventually drains into the old abandoned Black River channel and then into the Green River at a point about 2 miles north of the site. The Green River flows about one- fourth of a mile to the west of the site. Sizeable portions of the site are dominated by wetlands where the limited depth of the water permits the growth of aquatic vegetation. On the northwest to north - central portion of the site is a large marsh, which will be preserved as part of the Project plans. Additional surrounding areas are seasonally flooded. Along the east of the site is a wooded swamp. Subsoils in the swamp are water- logged to at least within a few inches of the surface during the growing season and it is often covered by as much as a foot of water during the wet season. Numerous ponded areas and observations of water flowing in drainage ditches during relatively dry periods suggest that the water table is near the surface during most of the year. The high organic content of the muck and peat increases the water holding capacities of these soils, thus making the drainage ditches only partially effective in removal of water. b. Immediate Impact on Hydrologic Conditions Filling and grading of the Project site will alter runoff water flows from the site in terms of direction and quantity. Currently runoff from the site is slow due to low gradient slopes, the relatively large amount of vegetation, and lack of well established channels with sufficient capacity to handle surface water. Filling and grading will elevate the base level of the Project site to the level of surrounding developed lands. On a temporary basis, drainage from the filled portions of the site will be accommodated by a system of dikes and underground pipes. The site surface will be divided by low dikes which will detain surface runoff and allow sediment to settle out. Water detained within the diked_area.s. will flow through outlet pipes, directly into drainage ditches which will carry such flows out of the project area. The size of these pipes will be designed to control the rate of outflow and prevent erosion. of the ditches. c. Eventual 'Impacts on Hydrologic Conditions Ultimate development of the Project site will involve the construction of buildings, roadway and parking lots. These impervious surfaces will increase total runoff water volume and will reduce the time period when surface runoff peak flow is reached. Drainage from the site will be accommodated by the proposed SCS . drainage ,system for the valley. The SCS "P -1" drainage channel will be constructed along the west side of the,site and will extend generally northward to an existing pumping plant in he old Black River Channel where drainage waters will be pumped into the Green River. • .Both filling of site for eventual development and the construction of.the proposed SCS drainage system will alter.the hydrologic patterns of the site. Construction of impervious surfaces will prevent recharge of. groundwater. The low bottom elevation in the P -1 channel will lower . the adjacent water table. Diversion of storm flows to ditches and. storm drain pipes will prevent water' from flowing to , present low -lying areas. The net result will probably cause some drying of existing wetlands. The exact nature and extent of this • impact is not possible to quantify at this time... 4. Water Quality and Aquatic Organisms a. Existing Conditions Aquatic organisms are important indicators of the .quality of an aquatic environment because the numbers and types of species pre- - sent indicate conditions which have existed for fairly long periods of time when field sampling over a comparable period of time is not feasible. . Samples•of aquatic organisms were taken from an upstream tributary of Springbrook Creek, and from Springbrook Creek both before it . enters the site and at a point about 1 mile downstream of the site. 22 As would be expected, the stream is in good condition at its head- waters but progressively deteriorates as it approaches its terminus. At the upstream tributary there are a diversity of oxygen loving aquatic organisms. Downstream there are less diverse types of . organisms, but those types which can tolerate deteriorated water quality have increased in number. Although there are no fish counts available for Springbrook Creek, local residents report catches of occasional game fish. Small streams which lace the Green River Valley such as Springbrook Creek, are considered important in terms of game fish because they have upstream gravel beds and therefore the potential to support game fish spawning. It has been noted by the Washington State Department of Fisheries that this drainhoe system contains 2.5 miles of suitable spawning area and that the watershed would accommodate between 400 and 600 Coho spawners based on the remaining rearing area that is available. b. Immediate Impacts on Water Quality Filling and frading activities will cause an increase in sediments carried by surface runoff. This impact will be mitigated by temporary detention on site of surface runoff to allow for settling. c. Eventual Impacts on Water Quality • Eventual development of the site for industrial purposes will cause street surface contaminants (oils, hydrocarbons, nutrients, coli- form organisms, etc.) to be washed from paved surfaces. Briefly, the addition of sediments and street surface contaminants to natural waters causes eutrophic conditions by increasing available nutrients along with causing depletion of oxygen. First, oxygen dissolved in the water is used for the chemical decomposition of some of these substances. Secondly, other of the substances can serve as nutrients to stimulate the frowth of nuisance species of algae which eventually die. The decomposition of this algae again consumes dissolved oxygen. In either case, less dissolved oxygen is available for other aquatic organisms which are intolerant of low oxygen conditions. Also, particulate matter washed from construction sites or paved surfaces may carry toxic material which has adhered to the particles. For example, in the case of the Project site, fertilizers and pesticides used over a decade ago and which adhered to the soils at that time will be found in the surface runoff. Runoff carrying contaminants from the paved and impervious surfaces which will be constructed at the Project site will have a deleterious impact on the Green River drainage system which is the ultimate receptor. Over the long run, the development of the Project site represents a part of the continuing urbanization of the Green River Valley. The incremental loss of a wetland or addition of sediments and street surface contaminants from one project to the aquatic . system may not be significant, rather it is the cumulative effect of all.such projects which add up to an environmental proglem. The eventual development of nearly 500 acres in Renton will certainly add a substantial amount of sediment and contaminants as a major 2 3 5. Vegetation part of the overall incremental valley development. Catch basins will be used throughout the proposed project and the P -1 channel is designed to function as a settling basin which should reduce most of the suspended contaminants. Dissolved materials, however, will be placed into the system. Although runoff will be detained for settling purposes, there is no feasible means to mitigate increases in dissolved materials, increases in temperature or decreases in dissolved oxygen. All of these factors have historically been problematical in the Green River which will ultimately receive drainage from the Project area. Fisheries resources will be increasingly difficult to maintain as incremental developments of the valley proceeds. a. Existing Conditions The Project site is located within the Western Hemlock Zone, which is the most extensive vegetational zone in western Washington and Oregon. It is generally recognized that Puget Lowlands sites, such as the Project site are not typical of this broad vegetational category, but there is no concensus of opinion as to what the "true climax" plant community is for this portion of the larger zone. It is possible that there is in fact no ' - 'true climax" plant community because valley sites are usually disturbed with such frequency that no one climax community type becomes established for long. Natural flooding and human activities such as clearing,• farming and con- struction have disrupted vegetation continuously for more than 100 years. The Project site vegetation has, for the most part, become re-est- ablished after agricultural activities at the site were halted a decade ago. Some areas appear to have much older vegetation. The specific vegetative communities which now occupy the site bear a direct correlation to the underlying soils. The soils on the west side are sandy alluvium, derived from glacial outwash. These soils have low nutritional status and low capacity to hold water, and are therefore limited in their ability to support vegetation. Other soils on the site were formed by the deposition of organic water by plants and support plant communities of far greater interest and importance. Lastly, the placement of artificial fill over portions of the site greatly restricts the establishment of significant vegetational cover of any kind, although herbaceous species may be found. Plant communities found at the site were divided into two groups. 24 0 0 7 14- 41 11 I 11 I 1 11 ai 0110131=1 0 allJ a A li 0 0 CIrr Or 11011011 es SCS P-1 ItSIIIICZ_ talc, rer eye. err e SKr 04 CORA brewer* MO* COLOCM CRAM SIICAROW CO OtIPPIC PIPES INS 4.810041104 .CIAW IONIC 711IPCOPMO C Ct. e etc OW Rg RO■C/W W/C ,L___ lltillitttlq-IIIILISMISS1111. 414 EiralT411 ... .... . • .

Successinary Pasture Refer to Figure No. {,for location of these communities, and Appendix A for additional information regarding these communities. The Wetland and Bog communities found at the site are of particular importance. The Soil Conservation Service in conjunction with bio logists from the State Department of Game and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service have identified three wetland types on the project site: 1) Along the east side of the site is a wooded swamp, or sometimes referred to as a forested bog. This area is likely to be waterlogged to within at least a foot of the surface. Typical plant representatives include willows, red alder, and western hemlock. 2) To the west of Springbrook Creek and towards the north end of the site is.a seasonally flooded flat. Typically, flooding can be expected in late fall, winter or spring but is well drained in the . growing season. Typical plant representatives ihclude smartweed and other mixes of shrubs. Wetland vegetation may be limited due to seasonal nature of flooding. 3) Along the north side of the site. is a shallow marsh. Old aerial photos indicate that this wet spot was much smaller at least ten years ago. Placement of fill and road construction have divered more water to this depression in recent years. Consequently a large marsh has formed and provides a havitat for many species of migratory waterfowl. A portion of this marsh will be designated as a green belt by the applicant as discussed above. b. Immediate.lmpact on Vegetation Except for vegetation associated with the green belt area, most plant communities present on the site will be lost through filling and grading except in those few locations where present ground surface elevations are at the desired level. Original plant communities are not expected to recover. There will be quick coverage of the fill areas by herbaceous species and this will help to mitigate dust problems until such time as the filled areas are utilized for industrial purposes. c. Eventual Impact on Vegetation The most significant impact on vegetation will occur immediately when the developeabie portions of the site are covered by fill. Over the long run, vegetation associated with the wetland will change as and around it is filled and the P -1 channel is con- structed. The saturated soils condition necessary to support the wetland will be changed due to lowering of the ground water eleva- tions. Plants presently supported by the wet conditions will be eventually replaced by species tolerant of drier conditions. Initially, the green belt (wetland - ponded area) will be reduced in size as water drains from it to the "P -1" Channel. There will be die -back of aquatic species, the extent of which will depend on the amount of and rate of which the water is drained away. As the soil moisture of the once wet areas declines, grasses will be established. After.a number of years, willow and red alder can be expected if noting is done to retain the moisture in and about the ponded area. 6. Wildlife a. Existing Conditions Mammals A wide variety of small mammals have been observed on and are expected to inhabit the Project site because of their relatively small home range needs in comparison with the relatively large size of the site. Mammals which were either seen or are expected to occur as permanent residents or transients include: Marsh shrew, Townsend mole, Coast mole, Spotted skunk, Striped. skunk, Common deer mouse, Townsend's meadow mouse, Bendire shrew, Red fox, and Short - tailed weasel, some use of the site by Black tailed deer has been noted. Some of the above mammals are particularly important be- cause their distribution is largely, confined to the Puget Sound lowlands. As a result of urbanization, many animal species present in the Puget Lowland have been disappearing. In some cases, these species are replaced by a more adapted species, but often they are not. Birds and Aquatic Waterfowl The Project site is located within the Pacific Migratory Bird Flyway and because of its relatively undeveloped condition, pro- vides habitat for many non - resident birds at various times of the year. Some of the birds which have been found on or near the site include: Mallards, Canvas Back Ducks, Lesser Scaup Duck, American Coot, Great Blue Heron, Green Neron, Rough - legged Hawk, Screech Owl, Sparrow Hawk. In addition Pheasant, Quail and Song Birds were observed. 27 ~�•'?� ^^ � Habitat Areas The plant communities and the habitat provided are major determinants of the types and numbers of birds and mammals which will use a site. The Project site has a great number of plant communities, as shown on the vegetation map, however, some of the plant communities are of greater importance in terms of bird and wildlife habitat than others. Two general communities are of particular note: The wetland habitat in the north center of the site; and the Oregon Ash - Willow in the northeast corner, extending southward to the Willow- Reed - Cattail community. The wetland habitat provides a stop over site between Lake Washington and points farther south in the valley for migratory waterfowl. The many species of aquatic plants and the contiguous shrubby vegetation provide both cover and food. The Oregon Ash - Willow community in the northeast of the site represents the later stages of succession for a wetland community. It has not been disrupted as much as other portions of the site, consequently it provides one of the richest habitats for bird populations and wildlife to be found. There was evidence of use of this area by Black - tail Deer and Pheasant. c. Immediate Impact on Biological Resources Terrestrial habitat areas will be almost entirely removed. The Song- bird population will be reduced in total numbers and diversity. Pheasant populations will be reduced or totally lost. Mammal species, particularly small mammals, will be effected because of their limited home range. d. Eventual Impacts on Biological Resources In order to be consistent with the Renton Comprehensive Plan, a portion of the wetland in the northwest corner will be retained as a green belt area. The continued value of this wetland for wild- life habitat will depend on how its character is influenced by activities on adjacent land. As mentioned, lowering of immediate groundwater elevations will have an effect as well as will the amount of surrounding vegetation which can be maintained as cover. 7. Noise a. Existing Conditions General Discussion Noise is any sound which is undesirable because it interferes with speech and hearing or is otherwise annoying. The term "environmental noise ", as used by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, means the intensity, duration and character of sounds from all sources. In terms of a simple and practical measurement, environmental noise means the long -term average sound level (or technically, the equivalent sound level or LEQ). Measurements of long -term average sound. levels will not directly exclude very high noise levels of very short duration, rather, they are reflected in the overall average. For example, a long-term average of a 60 decibel (dB) sound level over a 24 hour period might include peak sound levels of 110 dB, but such an event might be less than 1 second duration. 28 Indoors Outdoors EQUIVALENT SOUND LEVELS. IN DECIBELS The following chart gives a range of sound levels produced by common indoor and outdoor settings: SPACE L +) Small Store (1 -5 clerks) 60 Large Store (more than 5 clerks) 65 Small Office (1 -2 desks) 58 Medium Office (3 -10 desks) 63 Large Office (more than 10 desks) 67 Miscellaneous Business 63 Residences Typical movement of people -no TV or radio 40 -45 Speech at 10 feet, normal voice 55 TV listening at 10. feet, no other activity 55 Stero music 50 -70 Table saw 88 Garbage disposal 80 Tavern With Rock Group At table closest to group 124 At table furthest from group 118 EQUIVALENT SOUND LEVELS IN DECIBELS Space • . Leq ( +) Rural Field 44 A Small Quiet Suburb 47 -52 Typical Suburban 52 - 58 Urban . .58 Noisy Urban 63 -up Existing Sources of Noise For the purpose of assessing present noise conditions road noises . were measured 100 feet from S. W. 43rd Street and the equivalent sound level over a 24 hour period was found to be. approximately 63 db(A). Daytime noise levels tend to range between 60 and 70 dB(A), while nightime noise levels range between 50 and 60 dB(A). Train noises were measured 100 feet from the mainline track and were found to range between 69 and 89 dB(A). Noise from trains occurs as a short -term peak rather than on a constant basis. b. Immediate Impact on Noise Initial ground clearing, filling and c rading will be the noisiest activities which will occur on the site, Although fill dirt truck traffic will be intense for 5 months curing each of the first two years of filling activities. Fill dirt. truck traffic will exit the borrow pit on Carr Road which later becomes S.W. 43rd Street in Renton; along the south side of the project site. There is a hospital, a clinic and a few scattered residences located ajong the fill dirt truck Mite: 'In addition, several residential streets adjoin Carr Road. Fill dirt traffic will probably increase the long -term average noise by 1- 2dB(A) levels during the working hours. However, peak noise levels resulting from truck traffic should not be higher than that now experienced due to exsiting truck traffic. Frequency of peak level attainment will increase, but will still only influence the long -term average noise by the 1- 2dB(A). c. Eventual Impact on Noise 30 There is presently some industrial act::vity in the area consisting of a metal scrapping facility. Noise me` urements made at the property line of that plant showed that levels :-ere do not exceed an equivalent sound level of about 84 dB(.) for short periods of time. These levels diminish quickly with distance away from the plant. Noise Generated By Development It is difficult to predict at this time exactly what noise levels will be produced by new industries which will eventually locate on the site. In addition, how the noise impact is experienced in the future will depend on specific physical, geographical and human factors. The proposed project will result in some additional automobile and train traffic. Over the next 20 years it is expected that S. W. 43rd Street /S. 180th will be widened to four lanes and that peak hour traffic volumes will reach 1500 vehicles per hour with about a 10 percent truck mix. Noise levels from this source will be between 65 and 70 dB(A) at up to about 500 feet from the road. Most of the future uses occurring on the proposed project site will require rail service, thus, contributing to increased rail traffic noise. Typically, a switch engine providing service to an industrial facility will produce a noise level of 78 80 dB(A) at a distance of 100 feet as it passes through. Evaluation of Noise The significance of noise is usually evaluated in terms of compliance with applicable noise standards usually found in zoning codes and in terms of subjective community reactions. In the case of the proposed project site, however, there are no adjacent residentially zoned areas which will be affected. The nearest homes are in the community of Orillia. These homes are not sensitive receptors of noise impact for several reasons. Most of these homes are located sufficiently for away from the site that construction noise will not significantly affect them. Also, these properties 8. Meteorology are zoned for commercial and industrial uses, so standards regulating noise in residentially zoned areas are not applicable. Finally over the long run most, if not all of these homes will be removed in the course of construction of improvements to S. W. 43rd Street or as these properties are purchased for other purposes. The significance of noise generated by Project site users is more appropriately evaluated in terms of impact on employees at the site. It is generally known that certain kinds of work are sufficiently noisey to cause damage to hearing and that factory employees often have poorer hearing sensitivity than employees with minimal occupational noise exposure. The length of time of exposure affects the possibility of hearing damage -- higher sound levels can be tolerated for shorter periods of time. Exposure to noise levels of 85 dBA and under are considered to be of negligible risk. How- ever, the U. S. Department of Labor specifies that exposure to 90 dBA is an allowable level for an 8 -hour work day because of the high costs of controlling industrial noise down to 85 dBA. Permissable noise levels for 8 hours or less are given on the next page. Duration Per Day (Hours) Sound Level (dBA) 8 90 6 92 4 95 3 97 2 100 1 1/2 102 1 105 1/2 110 1/4 or less 115 (Max.) The anticipated industrial development must comply with new noise regulations recently promulgated by the State: Maximum Environmental Noise Levels (173 -60 WAC) effective September 1, 1975, and Motor Vehicle Noise. Performance Standards (173 -62 WAC) effective July 1, 1975. Data for Seattle-Tacoma Airport can be considered indicative of the site meteorology because of its proximity. Data from the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency shows the winds in the Southcenter area come predominantly from the north or south to south - southwest. It is thought that the north -south orientation of the green River Valley tends to channel the winds. During extended pollutant build -up periods (eight hours to several days) polluted air masses move up and down the valley under a channeled flow regime. Under these conditions, background pollutant concentra- tions can increase significantly, especially under a northerly flow which brings in air from urban Seattle. 5. Air Quality • The efficiency of pollutant dispersion is related to atmospheric stabi- lity. Cold air drainage down the Green River Valley gives rise to pronounced periods of stability (inversions) which will thus lead to low pollution dispersion rates during these periods. Strength and direction of the mean wind will also influence dispersion. The urban areas of Seattle and Tacoma lie to the north and south respectively. Northerly or southerly winds will introduce pollutants from these areas into the Green River Valley as well as carrying these pollutants in the opposite direction when the winds change. The following Figure J is a windrose for a nearby station maintained by the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency: a. Existing Conditions Existing air quality can best be summarized by the air monitoring stations in the vicinity by the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency. Data from neighboring stations was obtained and the following conclusions can, be drawn: The current air quality in the project area is good for some pol- lutants, marginal for others. The carbon monoxide levels will reach a 4 parts per million (ppm) background level with "worst case" conditions, which is well below the 8 hour standard of 9 ppm and the 1 hour Itandard of 35 ppm. Particulate levels averaging about 50 ug /m are within the annual standard and are not likely to be exceeded on a 24 -hour sample basis. Sulfur oxides are violating the 1 -hour standards on occasions. Oxidant levels on the surrounding hills are approaching the standards and could pose a potential problem in the Green River Valley because of the tendency for pollutants to accumulate under stagnant weather conditions. This is also true for oxides of nitrogen concentrations. b. Immediate Impact on Air Quality During the construction phase of the 'Project, there are expected to be temporary impacts on air pollution levels. Earth- moving equipment is expected to emit vehicular pollutants as they move about preparing the site. However, the concentrations of the primary vehicular emissions from this equipment are expected to be appreciably lower than the levels expected under "worst case" conditions. 3 2 This equipment can also expected to raise dust (particulate matter) during dry weather. Effective maintenance and operation procedures on use of equipment at the construction site and appro- priate treatment of the grounds in adjacent areas can keep the dust generated from construction activities within acceptable limits and will not create particulate standards violations. 4.9 . 20.0 3. 10.7 HOUR AVERAGE SURFACE WINDS. • PERCENTAGE FREOUENCY OF OCCURRENCE u.rte.t0o�rpr ,U..ET souk, mA POLLUTION tOHTROL IxE,cy 227 MOVER PPRrt E.

Eventual Impact on Air Quality As the eventual result of development of the site, air quality will be affected by both stationary and non - stationary sources. Inasmuch as the specific industries which will be attracted to the . site are unknown, it is not possible to project the probable impact on air quality. However, in spite of compliance with applicable- air quality standards, it is likely that future industries will cause some degradation of air quality. The impact on air quality due to vehicular traffic using the site can be estimated with greater certainty than for stationary sources. The emissions due to motor vehicles, as the primary source of air pollution from the proposed project are estimated for both the present and future years to 1990. Models were utilized to obtain estimates of the concentrations of the primary vehicular pollutants under "worst case" meteorological and emission conditions. The concentrations obtained were then compared with the present ambient air standards and existing background data to determine the impact on the surrounding environment. The effect of federal regulations.on reducing automobile exhaust emissions was also included. • Since the rate of development on the property is currently unknown the number of future vehicle movements is also unknown. However, estimates can be made for the maximum number of movements which can be tolerated and still keep the carbon monoxide concentrations within the air quality standards when "worst case" meteorological conditions occur. There is a distance of approximately one mile between real potential perimeter roads for the project site. Assuming traffic counts comparable to S. W. 43rd Street on both the north and south boundaries of the project it is estimated that the localized con- tributions using a line source model at the downwind edge is about 0.4 ppm (0.4 mg /m3). This results in a total background contribution of 5 mg /m3, one -half of the maximum under 8 -hour carbon monoxide standard. Using emission data compiled by the Environmental Protection Agency in an area source model, the following table was developed to show the maximum allowable vehicle movements necessary to comply with the . eight -hour carbon monoxide standards in the proposed project with high atmospheric stability and a meter per second wind. speed. 34 4 10.

Note that in the above table, the number of vehicles increase slowly with increasing time. This is accounted for by the introduction of the newer controlled emission vehicles as required by federal regulations, and projected reductions in emissions. The number of vehicle movements required to exceed the standards are stated only for "worst case" very high stability meteorological conditions. The number of occurrences related to the one -hour " worst case" conditions and the associated carbon monoxide standard may happen for short periods any time of the year. In effect, under the meteorological conditions conducive to the declaration of an air stagnation advisory, there is a probability that the eight -hour carbon monoxide standard will be exceeded if the vehicle movements in the above table are exceeded each hour in the year indicated. Air stagnation advisories usually occur from three to six times annually, generally in the late fall and winter months. These advisories usually run 24 to 72 hours and can extend to 120 hours. a. Existing Transportation System Existing transportation facilities serving the area are shown in Figure K. The major freeways (Interstate 5, Interstate 405 and State Route 167) are shown as well as arterials adjacent to the site. These include East Valley Road and West Valley Road, adjacent to the east and west sides respectively. East -west arterials include S. W. 43rd Street bordering the south side of the project site, and South Grady Way to the north. S. W. 43rd Street is two lanes in width • (approximately , 20;.feet) with no curbs or paved shoulders, and consists of a deteriorating Portland cement concrete surface. 35 • 0 - 1 9 m0 • - h 1.0 tn r CD <- > C CD a Q3 (.1) .-.. a:. rr -1 ti -I -1 el' C.) 0 CL1 — n "1 -h -11 -• •-• 0.1 (..r) 3- 73 rr Z CD r 0_ "-r: 0 re. m • • -• 11101I I "0 11 13 o a. to 0 0 cr X" n .-• 0 X 7 O. 1 rt Cr f0 0 to cr W.

Additional installations are proposed for East Valley Road and two intermediate intersections. Traffic Conditions Figure K indicates existing 1974 traffic volumes for Average Daily Traffic and Peak Hour Volume and direction, in the immediate vicinity of the proposed projects. The directional flow and peaking characteristics at the 43rd StreetlEast Valley Road intersection are a result of the freeway ramps connecting to the latter facility. In the "East Valley Traffic Study ", the 1969 level of service at the intersections of 43rd Street with East and West Valley Roads was observed to experience 95% or greater utilization during peak periods. Similar results were verified for the purposes of this study. The section of 43rd Street between the two main intersections is operating at level of service of under 75% utilization capacity. The major capacity restraint in the present roadway is the rail- road crossing. Trip Generation It is possible to anticipate a range of traffic volume which will ultimately be generated based both on data from local studies in facilities which are similar to the proposed uses. Generally, the type of industrial usage is more critical than regional vehicle usage as an index for industrial trip generation. A broad range of trip generation factors are possible depending on the proportion of office and industrial uses. In general, offices generate more trips per unit area than warehouses or fac- tories. Another factor affecting trip generation is the size of the concern. Larger firms generally have a lower generation rate per employee. Based on a consideration of these factors and the range of uses which could occur at the site, the trip generation factor selected for the proposed industrial development is 100 week-day trips per acre. This is an average for uses similar to those anticipated at the Project site. It is assumed that if rail facilities were not available, trip rates would be higher than in cases of rail accessed industries. The selected trip generation factor of 100 is therefore somewhat lower than that • which would have been used if no spur tracks were planned for the project area. The selected peak hour percentage of daily generated traffic is 17 %, and is assumed to occur concurrently with the peak hour traffic on,the adjacent street system. The percentage of trucks in the industrial related traffic is assumed to be 17°. 37 b. Immediate Impact on Traffic ments.- c. Eventual Impact on Traffic Project Traffic . PROJECTED TRAFFIC FROM TOTAL SITE Fill from the King County borrow site must be removed with two years. This site will supply 1.7 million cubic yards of the 2.6 million cubic yards necessary to fill the site. Fill is generally hauled during the dry season, between May and September (5 months). The average capacity of a fill dirt truck is 10 cubic yards. Consequently, in order to move the fill from the King County site within the allotted 2 years, as many as 850 fill dirt truck trips per day may be necessary from May through September which is more than the one - half of the present average daily traffic volume. It can be anticipated that the remaining required fill will be hauled as surplus material from nearby construction sites become available or as the project marketing and development time table requires purchase and import of fill from commercial borrow sites. Impact on traffic brought about by the import of this remaining fill will be less than that of the initial two year fill period. Fill dirt truck trips will be spread out over the total period of development. As development proceeds, implementation of planned improvements to streets and arterials will reduce congestion from fill truck move- Based on traffic generated by similar industrial facilities else- where, the total traffic projected for the site upon full develop- ment will be as follows: - Total weedkay trips 49,050 Percentage of trucks 17% Passenger car equivalent 2 Average Daily Traffic 57,380 Peak Hour percentage 17% Peak Hour Volume 9,750 Peak Hour arrival /departure 9,360 Peak Hour departure /arrival 390 Trip Distribution Based upon the assumption that a freeway is a preferred route for a longer trip, it may be deduced that a high percentage of the industry traffic will use freeways to reach its destinations. A reasonable estimate of the proportion of industrial traffic using the freeway network is 60%. S. W. 43rd,Street is the primary east -west access to existing industrial development, and also provides indirect access to free- way interchanges for traffic destined for all directions. East Valley Road and Oaksdale Street are primary north-south accesses but lack continuity northward, thus limiting their utility. Anti- cipated trip distribution is as follows: 38 TRIP DISTRIBUTION Trip Distribution Freeway - total 60% East -West (I -405) 20% North -South - subtotal 40% 1 -5 20% SR 167 20% Arterial Streets - total 40% East -West 15% North -South 25% The previous section dealt with the anticipated traffic in terms of volumes and directional orientation of the traffic. The broader implications of this traffic for the transportation network as a whole are considered in this section. Impact to Transportation Network The traffic impact due to the proposed industrial facilities is massive. The projected arterial street volumes in Figure L far - exceed the ability of these streets to carry traffic. •Under ideal conditions, each of these four -lane arterials could handle 1,500 vehicles per lane between intersections, but only about 650 vehicles per lane at intersections. It is recalled that both East and West Valley Roads are presently congested and that planned improvements are intended only to alleviate the congestion caused by existing traffic volumes. Freeway System A far more serious problem is the lack of residual capacity in the adjacent freeway system. Even if nearby arterials were improved to sufficient capacity, the majority of the traffic would only be directed onto the inadequate freeway system. This is the most critical implication of development in the area. L further development will have an adverse affect on the presently over- loaded freeway system. The traffic generated by the proposed development would require half the capacity of a freeway lane (1,000 vph) on each of the freeways in the area. Such capacity may be available only on the Valley Freeway (South of 43rd Street). 1-5, to the north, may also have the requisite capacity, only because traffic generated by the development will tend to be in the opposite direction as the major peak hour flow on that route. 1 -5 to the south will not be able 39 +. , • W.

IMPACTS OF ALTERNATIVE PROJECTS No- Action or Continuation of the Existing Trends Preservation of the site in its present condition would not result in to maximum economic return from the land either in terms of its develop;- potential or in terms of utilization of the soil resource. plant communities would continue to mature and evolve through their characteristic stages of plant succession. Wildlife would continue to use the site. Wetland areas contained within the site could expand even further if drainage from surrounding areas continues to be diverted towards the site. 2. Non-Fill Alternatives If the area were to be again used for agricultural purposes, the exist- ing vegetational cover would have to be removed. However, to the ex- tent that the soils resources remain intact, this natural resource would be preserved. Soils such as those found on the site are considered very good for agricultural purposes, but subject to iimitations of flooding and high water tables. Agriculture can be made technically viable by providing an adequate drainage scheme. Use of the site for agricultural purposes is made difficult because portions of the site have already been filled, and it may not be economical to farm the remaining segments. 3. Fill Alternatives All alternatives involving filling in order to bring ground level above the water table and create a suitable foundation for construction would be substantially similar in impact as with the proposed project. Options regarding soils, vegetation, and wildlife will no longer be avail- able once the land is committed to industrial use. 4. Schedule Alternatives Modification to the impacts that will be experienced with filling the site could be accomplished by delaying importation of fill material until specific site development is eminent. This would allow retention of presently functioning habitat for a longer time and would leave open the option of implementing other land use alternatives such as purchase of the better habitat areas within the project site for preservation as green belt. The negative effects of such modifications to the Project fill program ,o uld lie with the resulting influence of Project feasibility. The applicant suggests that feasibility of the project would be very much • in question if it were not possible to utilize both the King County borrow site within the imposed two -year limitation and also surplus fill material from area construction sites as it becomes available. If the 42 Project were to become unfeasible, the project site would be disposed of by the applicant through the most expedient means available to him. This would probably result in sale of the land on an incremental basis and subsequent piecemeal development of this land. it remains 'a matter of conjecture as to whether or not the resulting impacts of incremental development would be greater or lesser than with a single-owner develop- ment program as proposed with the Project. I.

Smith RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT OF GLACIER INDUSTRIAL PARK (FILE #PP- 086 -77) Dear Mr. Smith: Thank you for the notice of hearing on 6 December 1977 for the above - referenced project. As you already know, this office is keenly interested in the results of that re- view as Burlington Northern has filed a Preliminary Plat application for that portion of the planned industrial park which lies within the corporate limits of Tukwila and the Tukwila Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing on 15 December 1977. After meeting with our Fire and Public Works Departments, this office has con- cluded the S.W. 33rd Street cul -de -sac does not . promote orderly and efficient development of the serviced land area. It appears the S.W. 38th Street cul -de- sac (within Renton) fails in the same respect. Toward resolution of this problem, this office anticipates • recommendation to the Tukwila Planning Commission that the right -of -way pattern be established in a manner similar to the attached map. Obviously, alteration of the right -of -way pattern in Tukwila is futile if not complemented within the Renton portion, and vice versa. In order to determine the usefulness of our anticipated recommendation to the Tukwila Planning Commis- sion, this office requests the right -of -way pattern depicted in the attached map be considered by your office as a reasonable amendment to the Preliminary Plat which will promote orderly and efficient development of the affected land area as well as ensure appropriate circulation for public safety purposes.

DELAURENTI , MAYOR • PLANNING DEPARTMENT 235 -2550 October 31, 1977 RE: ORILLIA INDUSTRIAL PARK PRELIMINARY PLAT 1111 ECEIVE NOV 0' 1977 CITY OF TUKWILA The Planning Department has reviewed the portion of the Orillia Industrial Park Plat within the City of Tukwila and has the follow- ing comments: 1. Longacres Parkway, within the City of Renton, is designated as a full parkway facility with landscaped median strip and land- scaping and other improvements on both sides of the street. A minimum ninety (90) foot right -of -way is required to accom- modate such a roadway. 2. It appears that-the proposed cul -de -sac does not provide sufficient access for the large tracts 5 and 6. A similar cul -de -sac is proposed farther south within the City of Renton. Together, the two cul -de -sacs provide minimal access to the approximate combined 113 acres proposed for develop- ment west of Longacres Parkway. We recommend that the two cul -de -sacs be linked with a loop connecting road. 3. Possible location for pedestrian and bike paths within the plat should be studied, perhaps at the ends of streets extending toward and adjacent to the proposed drainage channel. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the proposed plat. If you have any further questions, please contact this department.

The logical system of street names would be an extension of the Renton system. This would create the potential loss of sales tax revenue when the business community considers themselves in Renton.

THIS WOULD CARRY THE COUNTY WIDE NUMBERING SYSTEM ALONG WITH THE STREET IDENTIFICATION. LONGACRES PARKWAY SINCE THE CITY OF TUKWILA HAS ONE LONGACRES, THIS STREET SHOULD BE ALTERED TO SOME OTHER IDENTIFICATION. AGAIN, THE COUNTY NUMBERING SYSTEM SHOULD BE USED. UNLESS THE COUNTY NUMBERING SYSTEM IS USED, I CAN SEE DELAYS FOR ALL EMERGENCY SERVICES. IT WOULD BE UNWISE TO APPROVE ANY NUMBERING SYSTEM OTHER THAN THE STANDARDIZED ONE SET UP BY KING COUNTY. SMALL CITIES LIKE RENTON THAT HAVE ESTABLISHED THEIR OWN SYSTEM ARE CAUSING PROBLEMS IN THE DISPATCHING OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES. RESPONSE TIME THE CITY OF RENTON IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE FIRE AND AID SERVICE TO THIS AREA. BASED UPON OUR AGREEMENT, WE RESPOND JOINTLY WITH RENTON IN THIS AREA. HOWEVER, IF IT IS NOT CLEARLY IDENTIFIED AS BEING IN TUKWILA, AND WE ARE ON ANOTHER CALL, ANOTHER FIRE DEPARTMENT COULD BE DISPATCHED TO HANDLE CALLS INSIDE OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA. THERE BY BUILDING IN DELAYED ARRIVAL OF EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE. RELMEM1 ATION PLAT NOT BE APPROVED UNTIL THE ABOVE CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE. HUBERT H.
