Enclosed please find a revised Threshold Determination
under SEPA for The Bon Marche Distribution Center. I have
redrafted this in order to bring it into compliance with the
terms of the Developer's Agreement that had been previously
been executed by our client.
The recent threshold determination which I have
received from the City included some of the "boilerplate"
provisions from the Developer's Agreement which did not
apply to the SEPA determination. Therefore, those
provisions have been deleted in this revised determination.
The provisions of the enclosed determination are
acceptable to The Bon Marche. I believe you will find them
to be consistent with the Developer's Agreement and the
discussions that Doug Chantry of The Bon Marche has had with
the City Administration on these issues.
Assuming that the revised determination will be
acceptable to the City, please reissue the determination as
soon as possible. Once it has been reissued by the City,
the City may consider the appeal we filed by our letter
dated June 28, 1990 to be withdrawn and this matter
terminated. -

We met with Bon Marche officials on July 12 to review the SEPA mitigations. We
resolved the differences to the satisfaction of City traffic safety needs. In
general, the conditions stating that future mitigations would be needed if
additional development (conversion from warehouse) were removed - our purpose
was to provide notice of future needs and that has been met.
The attached developer's agreement provides current safety needs - the right -

Late this afternoon the applicant filed a timely appeal of
the Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance for this
project. An environmental review of the impacts of the
project was performed and I concluded that specific
mitigation measures were necessary to mitigate the
Impacts. The applicant appealed my decision to require
those mitigation measures. This appeal is to be heard by.
the City Council.
The mitigation measures do not directly effect the Board
of Architecture Review decision unless the applicant wants
the appeal decided prior to the Board's decision. Should
the applicant so decide, the Board should postpone
tonight's review of the proposal until the appeal is
decided.
If the applicant wants the Board to review the project
tonight then the appeal decision must be postponed. The
applicant should state on record tonight that
consideration of the appeal should be postponed until
after the Board's decision. This will enable the Board to
complete its review of the project tonight and the appeal
to be decided at a later date.

This letter is submitted in behalf of Allied Stores
Corporation and The Bon, Inc., the tenant and applicant with
regard to the proposed expansion of the Bon Marche
Distribution Center building located at 17000 Southcenter
Parkway, Tukwila. Please accept this letter in behalf of
the applicant as the applicant's comments to and appeal of
the Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance ( "MDNS ")
dated June 13, 1990. The MDNS was issued with regard to the
applicant's proposal to construct a 31,700 square foot
addition to the existing Distribution Center.
The applicant's concerns relate to the purported
mitigating conditions requiring the dedication and
performance by the applicant of certain off site
improvements in conjunction with the proposed addition. The
mitigating conditions exceed that which is reasonably
necessary to mitigate the impacts of the proposed addition
and are therefore without legal justification.
Our courts have determined standards which preclude
unreasonable and unjustified exactions. The government's
police power can be legitimately exercised "where the
problem to be remedied by the exaction arises from the
development under consideration, and the exaction is
reasonable and for a legitimate public purpose. Unless
these requirements are met, the exaction is an
unconstitutional taking." Unlimited v. Kitsap County, 50
Wn.App. 723, 727 (1988).
The existing Distribution Center includes approximately
500,000 square feet of space. The Center fronts upon
Southcenter Parkway with the proposed S. 168th St. road
adjacent to the north of the subject property. The 31,780

square foot addition is to be located at the rear (east) of
the existing structure. The addition will include a staging
area which is essentially workspace that will facilitate the
inclusion of additional racks within the Distribution Center
itself. At the present time, approximately nine delivery
trucks per day enter and exit the site. As a result of the
relatively small expansion, this may increase to
approximately 12 trucks per day.
The proposed MDNS makes no findings of impacts that
will be created by the small addition. In fact, the impacts
will be insignificant and will not result in any significant
increase in transportation to the site. The proposed
expansion will not create a need for additional
vehicular /pedestrian improvements in the vicinity of the
property. It is suggested that the need, if there is any,
for the improvements enumerated in the MDNS are caused by
other ongoing development in the area and not that proposed
by the applicant in this case. The applicant's use will not
benefit from any of the improvements referenced in the MDNS
nor does the applicant's expansion create the need for such
improvements. Therefore, there being no nexus between the
proposed development and the mitigation measures set forth
in the MDNS, the measures are without legal foundation and
are beyond the authority of the lead agency.
With respect to the specific mitigation measures, the
applicant has the following concerns:
1. The requirement for dedication of 16 feet for
S. 168th St. to the east property line of the subject
property goes beyond what is necessary to provide access to
58th P1. More importantly, it has no relationship to the
proposed expansion and the need for that right -of -way is not
created by the applicant's proposed action.
2. Similarly, the development of a sidewalk from
Southcenter Parkway to the west edge of the building is
unrelated to the proposed expansion. The proposed expansion
will not increase pedestrian usage in the area and the
Distribution Center will receive no benefit from the
inclusion of a sidewalk at the proposed location. It is
submitted that the sidewalk will be more for the benefit of
and the need, if any, is caused by other development action
in the area.
3. The applicant is not the owner of the subject
property. In the event that the Bon Distribution Center use
is terminated in the future, the applicant may no longer
have any legal interest in the property. It would therefore
not be in a position to implement proposed condition
Mr. L. Rick Bee•
June 28, 1990
Page 3
number 3 relating to future improvements of 168th.
Moreover, we are advised that the owner of the subject
property objects to this condition and will not agree to it.
Additionally, this condition does not specify whether all
such improvements are to be for the entire right -of -way or
limited to the half of the right -of -way upon which the
subject property abuts. In either case, however, the need,
if any, for those future improvements are certainly not
caused by this relatively small expansion and do not in any
way amount to mitigation of impacts created by this
proposal.
4. While the applicant is willing to enter into a
discussion with Pennys for a coordinated access in the
future, it should be permitted to do so on a voluntary
basis, not as a mitigating condition based upon this
proposal. The joint access with Pennys would be on the west
side of the property, whereas the proposed expansion is on
the far eastern end of the property, approximately 1,300
feet away from the projected joint access. Once again,
there is no relationship, or nexus, between the proposed
expansion and the desire of the City for a joint access.
Again, it should be emphasized that the applicant is
nonetheless willing to pursue this since it is a desirable
goal. However, there is no legal basis for requiring the
applicant to do it as part of this proposed expansion.
In summary, it is respectfully requested that the lead
agency take into account the applicant's comments with
respect to the subject MDNS. In the event that the MDNS is
not substantially modified in a manner consistent with the
points raised by the applicant, it is requested that this
letter be considered the applicant's appeal of the MDNS and
an appeal hearing scheduled at the earliest opportunity.
Thank you for your consideration of the foregoing
concerns.

square foot addition is to be located at the rear (east) of
the existing structure, The addition will include a staging
area which is essentially workspace that will facilitate the
inclusion of additional racks within the Distribution Center
itself. At the present time, approximately nine delivery
trucks per day enter and exit the site. As .a result of the
relatively small expansion, this may increase to
approximately 12 trucks per day..
The proposed MONS makes no findings of impacts that
will be created by the small addition. In fact, the impacts
will be insignificant and will not result in any significant
increase in transportation to the site. The proposed
expansion will not create. a need for additional
vehicular /pedestrian improvements in the vicinity of the
property. It is suggested that the .need, if there is any,
for the improvements enumerated in . the MDNS are caused by
other ongoing development in the area and not that proposed
by the applicant in this case.. The applicant's use will not
benefit from any of the improvements referenced in the MDNS
nor does the applicant's expansion create the need for such
improvements. Therefore, there being no nexus between the
proposed development and the mitagatienYmeasures set forth
in the DONS, the measures are without legal foundation and
are beyond the authority of the lead agency.
With respect to the apex ific mitigation measures,
applicant has the following concerns:
1. The requirement . for dedication of 16 feet for
S. 168th St . to . the east property line of the subject
property goes beyond what is necessary to provide access to
58th Pl. More importantly, it tins no relationship to the
proposed expansion and the need for that right -of -way is not
created by the applicant's proposed action.
2.. Similarly, the development of a sidewalk from
Southcenter Parkway to the west edge of the building is
unrelated to the proposed expansion. The proposed expansion
will not increase pedestrian usage in the area and the
Distribution Center will receive no benefit from the
inclusion of a sidewalk ' at the proposed location. It is
submitted that the sidewalk will be more for the benefit of
and,. the need, if any, is caused by other development action
in the area.
3. The applicant is not • the owner of the subject
property. In the event that the Bon Distribution center use
is terminated in the the applicant may no longer
time any legal interest in the property It would therefore
not be in 'a position to implement proposed--condition

number. 3 relating to_ future Improvements, of 16Bth.
Moreover, we are advised that the owner of the subject -
property objects to this condition and will not agree to it
Additionally, this condition does not specify whether all
such improvements are to be for the entire right -of -way or
limited to the half of' the right, -of -way upon which the
subject property abuts. In either case, however, the. need, if any, for those future improvements are certainly not
caused by . this :relatively small expansion and do not in any
way amount to mitigation'_of impacts created by this
ropo0ai. •
4. • While the applicant is willing to enter into 4
discussion with: Pennys for. a. coordinated access in the
future,. it should be permitted to do sae on a voluntary,
basis, • not. as a mitigating oondition based upon this
proposal. The joint access. with Pennys would be on the West
side.of the property, whereas the proposed expansion is,on
the far eastern end 'of the property, approximately 1,300
feet away from the projected joint access Once again,
there is no'relationship, or nexus , between the proposed
expansion and the , desire of the city, for a joint access.
Again, it should be emphasized that. the applicant is
nonethel = sae willing to . pursue this since it is a desirable
goal. However,., ..there is no Legal basis for requiring the
applicant to-do it as pax.. of this proposed expansion.
In sumviary, it is respectfully raqueeted that the lead
-agency- take into account the applicant's comments with.
respect to the subject MDNL , • • In the event that the ..MDMS is
not substantially modified in a manner consistent with the.
points raised by the applicant, it is requested that this
letter be considered. the applicant's appeal of the MDNS and
ash appeal hearing scheduled at the earliest opportunity.
Thank you for, your consideration of the foregoing
concerns,
