Director M E M O.R- A- N- D - -U -M TO: Vernon Umetsu, Associate Planner FROM: Ron Cameron, City Engineer DATE: May 23, 1990 SUBJECT: Black River Corporate Park Asking for additional traffic study and mitigations on the Black River Park is not needed and would not be productive. Our Transportation Plan includes Black River Corporate Park in the area growth for LOS and design. Renton, Kent, Tukwila, Auburn and King County are processing development review in this same general manner. This is common practice here in the valley, Puget Sound and throughout the west. In this case, Renton's Transportation Plan evaluated it several years back. Our Transportation Plan includes Renton development considerations and, the Black River is included in background growth. RC /kjp CC: Phil Fraser Ross Heller City of Tukwila 6200 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila Washington 98188 (206) 433 -1800 Gary L. VanDusen, Mayor MEMORANDUM From: Vernon U.metsu, Associate Planner Department of Community Development To: Rick Beeler, Director, D.C.D. RE: Black River Corporate Park E.I.S. Date: May 16, 1990 I have reviewed the subject E.I.S. and found the following: 1. The project is located on two land tracts on the east side of Oaksdale Ave. South. Total acreage is 28.4 ( =12.7 + 15.7) acres. The project is characterized as shown in the attached summary table. In general, Tract A consists of 183,582 s.f. with maximum 4 story buildings while Tract B consists of 313,200 - 285,000 s.f. with a maximum 7 story building height. 2. I conclude that there are no aesthetic impacts to Ft. Dent Park due to an intervening hill and mi. distance from the river. 3. Traffic impacts were NOT evaluated since such office development was incorporated into the Grady Way Corridor Study and Oaksdale had been designed for year 2000 volumes. The Public Works Dept. may want to follow up on this for impact mitigation to Tukwila's system; especially at the Grady Way /Interurban /I -405 intersection area. 4. All comments to the D.E.I.S. must be post marked no later than May 25, 1990. cc: Ron Cameron /Phil Fraser /Ross Heller m EMPIRE WAY RENTON SW 7TH BLACKRIVER` CORPORATE PARK TO SEA -TAC AIRPORT 4 MILES SOUTHCENTER S 180TH LONGACRES VALLEY GENERAL HOSPITAL D_ Figure 1 -2.

Copies of the Draft E.I.S. are available for purchase for $8.00 per copy at the public information counter (SEPA Information Center) of the newly created Community Development Department on the third floor of the Renton Municipal Building located at 200 Mill Avenue South, Renton, Washington 98085.

The site is divided into Tract A and Tract B. TRACT A The proposed action is phased construction of three office buildings totally 183,600 sq. ft. on 12.71 acres. These would range in height from one to four stories. The alternative to the proposed action is no development of Tract A. TRACT B The proposed action is phased construction of three office buildings. One building would be four stories high. The second building would be three stories high. The third building ,seven stories high, would be adjacent to a three story parking structure. The buildings would total approximately 286,200 sq.ft. on 15.7 acres. One alternative to the proposed action is construction of one seven story office building and a four story parking structure. A second alternative is no development on the site. Impacts will include disturbances to the earth, water, plants and animals on site; development on a previously undeveloped site, increases in light, glare, noise and traffic. Mitigating measures include water quality and heron rookery protection, visual screening, and air quality measures, among other considerations. The project, as proposed, would allow First City Development Corporation to constuct an office park project consistent with the zoning on the site. LOCATION OF PROPOSAL: The project site is located northwest :of Renton city center and YTiO east of the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle's Rentonh012��r0 gmnnri9 Wastewater Treatment Facility. The site bounded on the�south6'�by'Qt} Oakesdale Ave. S.W. and S.W. 7th Street.
