BOX 47600 • Olympia, Washington 98504 -7600 • (206) 459 -6000 October 27, 1993 Mr. Rick Beeler City of Tukwila 6300 Southcenter Blvd Tukwila WA 98188 Dear Mr. Beeler: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the determination of nonsignificance for the construction of a retail building and associated parking, proposed by Segale Business Park ( #L93- 0067). We reviewed the ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT SEPA environmental checklist and have the following comments. The temporary erosion control must adequately protect the stormdrainage system. If, you have any questions, please call Mr. Ron Devitt with our Water Quality Program at (206) 649 -7028. Rebecca J. Inman RI: 93 -7570 cc: Ron Devitt, NWRO Janet Thompson, NWRO RECEIVED OCT 2 91993 COMtvium 1 DEVELOPMENT To: From: Date: Subject: Jack Pace Col 1993 Ron Cameron September 30, 1993 Segale Retail and Simulcast mitigation -V LQFfo l Segale Retail traffic mitigations total $169,782 Segale Simulcast traffic mitigations total $89,839 Total $259,621 Crediting Segale costs ($367,000) to make mitigated Andover Pk W /Strander intersection improvements exceeding sidewalk ordinance required frontal improvements has several advantages for Segale and the City. Credits would offset mitgation fairshare costs for the construction cost of: 1. removing .c/g/sw, widening, and replacing on Andover south of Strander 2. removing c/g widening, and replacing on Andover north of Strander 3. widening Strander east of Andover Pk W 4. signalization changes at Strander /Andover Pk W which provides north /south left turn lanes and widened lanes on Strander. These credits are different from the June 24 memo and are based on costs exceeding frontal improvement costs and on the costs of improvements that would be part of the Andover Pk W /Strander capacity improvement project. The initial cost estimate for this work exceeds the identified fairshare mitigation costs ($259,621). Two alternatives are being considered and will be presented to Council for selection and approval. This will take 2 weeks to a month. One is to proceed with Segale making the Andover Pk W /Strander improvements and credit the difference to future mitigation costs when the simulcast facility changes to retail. The change is likely to generate more traffic and require additional mitigations. If not, the "banked" amount would be held for other future development mitigation credit. The second is to accept the mitigation funds and make the Andover Pk W /Strander widening as a city project. Segale will agree to either alternative. They would like their Simulcast permits to start utility and foundation work before the fall rains. This is advantageous to the City to avoid mud and other weather related construction difficulties affecting Segale and the City. As well as reducing Christmas shopping traffic affects by the construction. It is recommended to issue the Utility and Building permits with the condition that C of 0 issuance requires mitigation agreement. This allows construction to proceed before the weather changes while the mitigation alternative is decided. To: Vernon Umetsu, Associate Planner From: Ron Cameron, City Engineer Subject: Segale Retail (S 180 S Date: September 29, 1993 This memo supersedes the September 27 memo and contains mitigation lan- guage that serves the city and the developer. Our Public Works review is complete and John has listed water, sewer, surface water, and permit comments. The August 1993 David I. Hamlin & Associates report analyzes traffic for a 36,400 sf furniture and 80,000 sf specialty retail. These have low trip rates but are comparable to the Longacres simulcast facility trip generation. The.site will function as a simulcast facility for up to two years and, then, transform to retail. The mitigations for the development are in two parts: 1. the up to 2 year simulcast facility use 2. future retail. The volumes and mitigations provided in the report are the best ap- proach for initial use. With the condition that if safety or capacity issues arise by additional or different traffic then is projected, then, corrective mitigating measures will be provided. Any adverse im- pacts should be identified within 6 months, temporary or permanent mitigations determined to correct safety or capacity impacts resulting from additional or different traffic, and the mitigations implemented. The mitigations are foreseen as temporary primarily, such as manual traffic control, peak hour turning restrictions, or internal parking circulation revisions. Any permanent mitigations that are mutually agreed to will be credited toward potential future mitigations for con- version to retail. For the future retail phase, mitigations will be evaluated to determine if the traffic volumes increase from the Traffic Study projections. Corresponding mitigations will be assessed for the increased peak traf- fic at that time. The measurement will be by ITE trip generation and affirmed by actual counts. Future additional mitigations will be as- sessed by the trip mitigation payment system for the change of peak traffic (increase above the August 1993 Hamlin study) with the change in use from the betting facility to retail. The assessment will be made 6 months after the conversion to retail. The traffic study showing Furniture and Specialty Shop uses gener- ates 2,192 daily trips and 286 noon peak hour for 36,400 furniture store and 50,000 specialty store with an ITE formula calculated passby. Development traffic mitigations are determined from identified ca- pacity or safety improvements needed for traffic increases. The Traffic Deficiencies Study identifies increased traffic and im- provements needed to provide the safety and capacity for 2010 traf- fic. The cost of the capacity improvement is divided by the "1990" to 2010 traffic increase to determine the prorated share To: Vernon U. From: Ron C. Subject: Segale Retail (S 180 St) Date: September 29, 1993 cost. Mitigations are determined from the development's increased peak hour traffic and the cost /trip. Segale Retail peak hour traf- fic affects five intersections with improvements planned for con- struction within the next 5 years: Southcenter Parkway /Strander. The increase to 2010 is 954 peak hour trips and improvement cost is $134,000. The prorated share is $140 /trip. Segale Retail's 65 noon peak hour trips mitgation is $9,100. Andover. Park W /Strander. The increase to 2010 is 934 trips and im- provement cost is $296,000. The prorated share is $317 /trip. Segale Retail's 57 peak hour trips mitgation is $18,069. Andover Park E /Strander. The increase to 2010 is 694 peak hour trips and improvement cost is $94,000. The prorated share is $135 /trip. Segale Retail's 57 peak hour trips mitgation is $7,695. S 180 St /SR181. The increase to 2010 is 3,200 trips and improve- ment cost is $1,520,000. The prorated share is $475. Segale Retail's 61 peak hour trips mitgation is $28,975. Interurban /I405. The improvement cost at this location totaling over 13,000,000 and complexity of weaving traffic would result in prorated shares exceeding $5,000 /trip. It has been previously de- termined to use a "fairshare" of $1,000 /trip with increased traffic at this location. Segale Retail's 26 peak hour trips mitgation is $26,000. -'- The subject project will require mitigations for land altering, surface water runoff and traffic impacts. Mitigations for land altering include the submittal of a plan which addresses temporary and permanent erosion and sedimentation control measures. Measures such as silt fences and sedimentation ponds, as mentioned in the environmental checklist, are examples. Mitigations for surface water runoff consist of directing all sur- face water runoff through coalescing plate oil /water separators prior to conveyance into the public system and eventual discharge into the Green River. Mitigations for traffic impacts are addressed in detail in the at- tached memo, dated today, from Ron Cameron. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Uses would be for furniture and specialty shops such as a bookstore and sports equipment sales. The facility would consist of a one -story structure, ranging from 24 to 35 feet in height. The building would be located at the southerly and easterly property lines. Parking would be for approximately 490 vehicles, of which less than 30 percent would be for compact cars. Customer parking would be between the structure and the adjacent arterial streets. Service access would be from a combination of the extension of Treck Drive and from Strander via a former rail road easement. The property is currently undeveloped and is currently being used to stockpile approximately 35,000 cubic yards of fill material, arranged in the pattern of the proposed structure. PRINCIPAL CHECKLIST ITEMS TRAFFIC New trips. The traffic study by David Hamlin (reference E) estimates that the facility will generate, on a daily basis, 2,427 total new trips on to the city's street system. Of these, a total of 250 trips will be at the afternoon peak hour, and an additional 318 will be at the Noon Peak hour. These numbers reflect deductions for pass -by trips, which are those trips already being made in the vicinity of the project. Key intersection. At present the intersection of Strander Boulevard and Andover Park West is operating at a level of service "E" during the noon peak hour. This condition is primarily due to the lack of left -turn storage lanes in the north/south directions on Andover Park West. - Andover is currently a four -lane arterial with curb, gutter, street lights and sidewalk along most sections of the roadway. There is no sidewalk along the project's frontage. - Strander Boulevard is a multi -lane east -west arterial connecting Southcenter Parkway with West Valley Highway. Strander includes a two -way left-turn lane between Southcenter Parkway and Andover Park West. East of this intersection (which is at the proposed site) the street is striped for four lanes. Curb, gutter and street lights have been installed along the entire length of the street. There is no sidewalk along the project's frontage. With the proposed additional traffic, but with no improvements, the present configuration of Strander and Andover Park West will operate at a level of service "F" (failure). This deficiency will be eliminated by widening and incorporating left turn lanes on Andover Park West. The resulting level of service is projected to be "D." Segale Retail Center MDNS 6/2/93, Page 3 Project access. Traffic movements on Strander and Andover Park West indicate the need for protected left -turn lanes from these arterials into the proposed facility. If left - turn lanes are constructed on the arterials, the level of service of service at the site's access driveways is generally "D" or better. The one exception is for northbound turns from the site onto Strander at the noon peak hour. That movement will still operate at a level of service "E." Queue analysis. This is a study of the expected maximum line -up ( "queue ") for left -turns at the intersection and into the site. Andover Park West: The northbound left -turn at the intersection of Strander & Andover Park should have around 300 feet of storage to accommodate a worst -case condition. This distance extends just past the main (north) driveway to Burger King. This point is just across the street from the Segale Center. -The southbound left-turn from Andover into the Segale Center should have around 75 feet of storage to accommodate the movement during the noon peak hour. The proposed site access driveway is located approximately 460 feet south of the. Andover/Strander intersection. The summation of these two queue lengths (i.e., 300 plus 75) could be accommodated within that distance. The resulting space would allow for storage of 3 -4 vehicles during a 2 minute interval for northbound left -turns into Burger King. Strander Boulevard: The westbound left -turn queue from Strander to Andover will require a similar storage area of 300 feet. Westbound access into the Segale Center will require 150 feet of storage. These two westbound queue storage lengths would not overlap or extend beyond the driveway. There is a slight or occasional possibility that the driveways on the north side of Strander will be blocked by this westbound left turn queue. Treck Drive Extension: Treck is a local access street. Currently it is not built alongside the proposed retail center. It provides service from Andover Park East and dead -ends at the railroad tracks which are at the southerly property line of the proposed Segale Retail Center. Extension of this street from the railroad tracks to Andover Park West would provide another east -west connection which could be used as an alternate route to Strander Boulevard. Its use would be somewhat limited since it would not provide direct access to Southcenter Mall, and vehicles would eventually need to use Strander Boulevard. The potential use of a completed Treck Drive by patrons of the retail site would likely be limited to those trips destined to /from the southeast. This would range from 0 -20% of the retail site traffic, most likely around 10 %. Segale Retail Center MDNS 6/2/93, Page 4 Service Access. There are two access points proposed for trucks and other services to the retail center. One will be from Strander in the vicinity of a vacated railroad easement. This is just west of the access driveway that serves the adjoining Southcenter Professional Plaza. The other service access will be from an extension of Treck Drive west from the railroad tracks to Andover Park West. This extension will consist of constructing two lanes of roadway and, on the project side, curb, gutter and sidewalk. The adjoining Marriott Courtyard motel presently takes its access directly from Andover Park. A future driveway revision, to be done by the City of Tukwila at the time of completion of Treck Drive, will include relocating Marriott's access from Andover to Treck Drive. Such a revision is not a part of or a direct consequence of the Segale Center proposal. DRAINAGE Drainage enhancement. As proposed, surface water from the front parking lot will be diverted through one of two biofiltration strips located at the site's northwest corner. The areas closest to the building will be taken into catch basins and then will be piped to the head of the bioswale. The parking areas closest to the northwest portion of the site will sheet -flow directly into the bioswale. All of this surface water will pass through an oil -water separator prior to entering the existing system. Roof drainage and loading area drainage are proposed to be piped without biolfiltration or water quality enhancement. All drainage will then be discharged to the existing "tightline" systems in Treck Drive and Andover Park West. SOILS The site currently stockpiles approximately 35,000 cubic yards of fill material. This action was issued a mitigated determination of non - significance on 29 April 1991 under EPIC file 19 -91. A geotechnical report (Environmental Review reference "D. ") indicates that the stockpile has acted as a pre -load and that subsidence of the underlying soils has been monitored intermittently since the August 1991 placement. The geotechnical report concluded that the upper compressible soil layer has reached nearly 100 percent of the expected total consolidation due to the influence of the preload fill. The lower compressible soil layer has reached approximately 65 percent of the expected total consolidation due to the influence of the preload fill. The report also concluded that the site has been sufficiently surcharged below the footprint of the existing preload fill to accommodate the proposed building with little additional settlement from the compressible soil layers. Segale Retail Center MDNS 6/2/93, Page 5 The report noted, however, that the currently proposed building will cover a different footprint area than the area that has been surcharged by the existing preload. A reconfigured preload was recommended, along with a program of monitoring the settlement. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Issuance of a Mitigated Determination of Non - Significance is appropriate since the environmental review indicates no probability of significant adverse environmental impacts from the proposal. Traffic. • Mitigation costs. The proposal's traffic study shows that furniture and specialty shop uses will generate 2,427 daily and 318 peak hour trips. This is a May 1993 refinement of the initial study for 104,000 square feet of retail originally studied in January 1993. It is similar to the Eagle Hardware, Computer City and Mervyn's studies in methodology, studies that have been conducted in the past few years. The traffic study (Reference E) demonstrates that five intersections will be impacted by peak hour traffic from the project. Impacts and pro -rata share costs for improvements are as follows. They are based on the. City's Traffic Deficiencies Study, which identifies increased traffic and improvements needed to provide the safety and capacity for the year 2010 traffic The cost of each identified capacity improvement is divided by the "1990" to 2010 traffic increase to determine the prorated share cost.

The proposal identifies site - specific improvements to Strander and Andover Park. These include increasing the width of Andover Park to 5 lanes, one of which will be a protected left -turn lane along the entire length of the site. A similar .protected left -turn lane will be required for access to the site from Strander. This may require additional left -turn queue space on Strander east of the project's eastern boundary. In addition there may also be the need for an eastbound acceleration taper from the site's main access drive onto Strander Boulevard. Curb, gutter, and sidewalk will also be provided along the entire site's frontage on these two boulevards. Street lights and traffic signals /controllers on the project site may have to be relocated as required to create the necessary right of way. Treck Drive will be constructed to a two -lane cross section. Curb, gutter and sidewalk will be required on the north (project) side. Improvements are to be from Andover Park West to the westerly edge of the present railroad easement at the site's southeast corner. Given the street's projected low volumes, it does not need to be extended across the railroad tracks. For similar reasons, improvements are not required at this time on the south (Marriott Courtyard) side. Pedestrian improvements. Installation of sidewalk, curb, and gutter on Strander and Andover Park West will mitigate pedestrian safety issues on these streets. These features are normally treated as a permit requirements. Pedestrian safety issues are being addressed in this manner. Drainage. With exception of the site's loading area, site drainage is in accordance with City plans. Water. Analysis in the Water Comprehensive Plan shows a deficiency in waterline velocities on Strander. This is the same issue as at Mervyn's, and is also a result of conversion of warehouse to retail and office uses. A Local Improvement District will provide for the additional waterline to correct the deficiency. Sewer. Existing sewer is adequate. Soils. Given the extensive amount of fill material, the 35,000 + /- cubic yard preloading program appears comprehensive. Details of the resulting ground surcharge and its monitoring can be provided at the time of application for a building permit. Segale Retail Center MDNS 6/2/93, Page 7 MITIGATED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TRAFFIC: 1. Capacity /Safety improvements. The applicant is to construct frontal improvements as shown in the site plan prepared by Lance Mueller Sc Associates dated 10 May 1993. This includes either the dedication or easements necessary to provide five lanes along the entire frontage of both Strander and Andover Park. This also includes curb, gutter, sidewalk and relocation of other street utilities as noted in the conclusion section above. 2. Off -site mitigation. The applicant is to pay $169,782 in mitigation costs at the time of issuance of the building permit. 3. Treck Drive improvements. The applicant is to grant a 60 foot easement, 30 feet on either side of the present centerline of Treck Drive. The applicant is to construct Treck, including curb, gutter and sidewalk on the north side of the easement plus two lanes of road, all built to City standards. Should the City choose to purchase this right -of -way in the future, applicant agrees to accept fair market value for unimproved land at the time of such a purchase. Utilities for this portion of the site are to be located within the Treck Drive easement area, and will be as determined at the time of application for the building permit. DRAINAGE: Drainage for the service and loading area on the east and southeast sides of the building will include the use of oil water separators as water - quality enhancements. WATER: Applicant agrees to participate in a Local Improvement District for upgrading the waterline in Strander Boulevard. SOILS: Soils are to be certified as suitable for foundations and other elements by a letter from a licensed geotechnical engineer at the time of application for a building permit. Details of the new settlement monitoring program are to be made available at that time. Prepared by: R. S. Betts cc: J.
