DIRECTIONS:
This Screening Checklist has been designed to evaluate the potential for your project to result in potential "take" of
Chinook salmon, Coho salmon, or Cutthroat trout as defined by Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act. The checklist
includes a series of "Yes" or "No" questions about your project, organized into four parts. Starting with Part A on Page
2, read each question carefully, mark the appropriate "Yes" or "No," and proceed to the next question as directed by
the checklist. To answer these questions, you may need to refer to site plans, grading and drainage plans, critical areas
studies, or other documents you have prepared for your project. The City will evaluate your responses to determine if
"take" is indicated.

Will the project require work, during any time of the project, below the ordinary high water mark of a
watercourse or the Green/Duwamish or Black Rivers or in wetlands? Ordinary high water mark is the mark
that is found by examining the bed and banks of a stream and ascertaining where the presence and action of
waters are so common and usual as to distinctly mark the soil from that of the abutting upland, in respect to
vegetation (see TMC Chapter 18.06, Page 18-15). Please mark the appropriate response.
✓
NO - Continue to Question 4-0
YES - Continue to Question 3-1 (Page 5)
4-0
Will the project result in the processing or handling, storage, or treatment of hazardous substances? This
does not include the proper use of fuel stored in a vehicle's fuel tank. Hazardous substances are any liquid,
solid, gas, or sludge, including any material, substance, product, commodity, or waste, regardless of
quantity, that exhibits the characteristics or criteria of hazardous waste as defined by Washington
Administrative Code 173-303 (TMC 18.06.385). This includes fuel or other chemicals stored on-site
during construction. Please mark the appropriate response.
✓
NO - Continue to Question 5-0

Could the construction, operation, or maintenance of the project result in sediment transport off site or
increased rates of erosion and/or sedimentation in watercourses, the Green/Duwamish rivers, or the Black
River? Most projects that involve grading have the potential to result in increased erosion and/or
sedimentation as a result of disturbances to the soil or earth. If your project involves grading and you have
not prepared a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan specifically designed to retain 100
percent of the runoff (including during construction) from impervious surface or disturbed soils, answer Yes
to this question. If your project is normally exempt under the Tukwila Municipal Code and would not
require the preparation of a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan, BUT may still result in
erosion or sediment transport off site or beyond the work area, answer Yes to this question. Please mark
the appropriate response.
✓
NO - Continue to Question 1-3
YES - Continue to Question 1-3
1-3
Will the project result in the construction of new impervious surfaces? Impervious surfaces include those
hard surfaces which prevent or restrict the entry of water into the soil in the manner that such water entered
the soils under natural conditions prior to development; or a hard surface area that causes water to run off
the surface in greater quantity or at an increased rate of flow from the flow presented under natural
conditions prior to development. Such areas include, but are not limited to, rooftops, asphalt or concrete
paving, compacted surfaces, or other surfaces that similarly affect the natural infiltration or runoff patterns
existing prior to development (TMC 18.06.445). Please mark the appropriate response.
✓
NO - Continue to Question 2-0 (Page 2)
YES - Continue to Question 1-4
1-4
Will your project generate stormwater from the creation of impervious surfaces that will not be infiltrated on
site? For the purpose of this analysis, infiltration includes the use of a stormwater treatment and
management system intended to contain all stormwater on site by allowing it to seep into pervious surface or
through other means to be introduced into the ground. If your project involves the construction of
impervious surface and does not include the design of a stormwater management system specifically
designed to infiltrate stormwater, answer Yes to this question. Please mark the appropriate response.

Introduction
The applicant, BNSF, seeks approval of a Type III Wireless Telecommunications
Facility. A hearing was held on September 30, 2014, at the Department of Community
Development, 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Tukwila, WA. Represented at the hearing
were: the Department, by Minnie Dhaliwal, Senior Planner; and the applicant, BNSF, by
Lauren Schroedter. No members of the public offered testimony at the public hearing.
All references to TMC or Code refer to the Tukwila Municipal Code. After due
consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing, the following shall
constitute the findings of fact, conclusions and decision of the Hearing Examiner on this
application.
Findings of Fact
1. The site is located on BNSF railroad right-of-way near the south end of 130th Pl.
S. (Railroad Avenue off S. 129th Street).
2. The property is zoned Heavy Industrial (HI) and the City's Comprehensive Plan
designates the site as Heavy Industrial.
3. The proposal is for a wireless railroad communication tower and equipment shed
within the BNSF right-of-way. The project would include construction of an 80 -foot
high communication tower, a 6' by 8' aluminum enclosure shed and associated electrical
connection on the right-of-way. The tower and shed would be enclosed within a chain
link fence.
4. The proposed communication facility is in response to a federal mandate
requiring railroads to establish positive train control (PTC) on certain railroad lines. PTC
technology is designed to automatically stop or slow a train before certain accidents
occur, and is designed to prevent train -to -train collisions, derailments caused by
excessive speed, and movement of trains if a track switch is left in the wrong position.
5. The surrounding uses include an animal rendering plant to the west of the site and
railroad tracks to the east. Further northwest and southwest is the Foster Golf Course,
and further east is the Foster Point neighborhood.
6. Attachment C to Ex. 1 depicts the proposed tower as viewed from several vantage
points.
7. BNSF has submitted engineering design plans and loading calculations as shown
in Attachment E to Ex. 1.
8. The Department has reviewed the proposal and recommends approval without
conditions.

Page 3 of 6
9. No public comments were submitted to the Department or the Hearing Examiner
on this application.
10. TMC 18.58.060 provides that:
A. New towers are not permitted within the City unless the Hearing
Examiner finds that the applicant has demonstrated by a preponderance of
the evidence that:
1. Coverage objective —There exists an actual (not theoretical)
significant gap in service, and the proposed wireless communication
facility will eliminate such significant gap in service; and
2. Alternates — No existing tower or structure, or other feasible site
or other alternative technologies not requiring a new tower in the City,
can accommodate the applicant's proposed wireless communication
facility; and
3. Least intrusive: The proposed new wireless communication
facility is designed and located to remove the significant gap in service in
a manner that is, in consideration of the values, objectives and regulations
set forth in this chapter, TMC Title 18, and the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan, the least intrusive upon the surrounding area.
B. The Hearing Examiner shall be the reviewing body on the application
to construct a new tower, and shall determine whether or not each of the
above requirements are met. Examples of evidence demonstrating the
foregoing requirements include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. That the tower height is the minimum necessary in order to
achieve the coverage objective;
2. That no existing towers or structures or alternative sites are
located within the geographic area required to meet the applicant's
engineering requirements to meet its coverage objective (regardless of the
geographical boundaries of the
City);
3. That existing towers or structures are not of a sufficient height
or could not feasibly be extended to a sufficient height to meet the
applicant's engineering requirements to meet its coverage objective;
4. That existing structures or towers do not have sufficient
structural strength to support the applicant's proposed antenna and
ancillary facilities;
5. That the applicant's proposed antenna would cause
electromagnetic interference with the antenna on the existing towers or
structures, or the antenna on the existing structures would cause
interference with the applicant's proposed antenna;
6. That the fees, costs or contractual provisions required by the
owner or operator in order to share an existing tower or structure, or to
n

locate at an alternative site, or to adapt an existing tower or structure or
alternative site for sharing, are unreasonable. Costs exceeding new tower
construction by 25% are presumed to be unreasonable;
7. That an alternative technology that does not require the use of a
new tower, such as a cable microcell network using multiple low powered
transmitters/receivers attached to a wireline system, is unsuitable. Costs
of alternative technology that exceed new tower or antenna development
shall not be presumed to render the technology unsuitable; and
8. The applicant demonstrates other limiting factors that render
existing towers and structures or other sites or alternative technologies
unsuitable. All engineering and technological evidence must be provided
and certified by a registered and qualified professional engineer and
clearly demonstrate the evidence required.
C. The Hearing Examiner, after holding a public hearing, shall either
approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application, or remand the
application back to stafffor further investigation in a manner consistent
with the Hearing Examiner order.
Conclusions
1. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction over this application pursuant to Chpater
18.58 TMC. Under TMC 18.58.050, an application for a new wireless communication
facility tower requires a Type 3 permit approval.
2. TMC 18.58.050.0 sets forth the City's preferences for the location of new
wireless communications facilities. The highest preference is for placement on an
existing structure, but there are no existing structures that would meet the technical
coverage requirements for the proposed facility. The next preferred locations are for
placement in non -residentially -zoned districts and nonresidential property, and the project
meets this preference, since it would be located in the HI district and on railroad right-of-
way property. Sites located on City property or within public rights-of-way would not
meet the applicant's coverage objectives. The proposed location is not designated as a
landmark or historic district. The application is consistent with the City's preferred
locations for new wireless communications facilities.
3. New towers must meet the criteria of TMC 18.58.060. The proposed tower would
be specifically for railroad communication as part of the federal mandated requirement to
establish PTC. The proposed tower location and its height are necessary to provide
BNSF with optimum coverage for safe operation of the control system. This criterion is
met.
4. The next criterion is whether other existing towers or structures, sites, or other
alternative technologies not requiring a new tower, could accommodate the proposed
wireless communication facility. The, proposal meets this requirement, for there are no
Dearing Examiner Decision
L14-0005 BNSF Wireless Application
Page 5 of 6
existing towers or structures in the vicinity that could be utilized to mount the railroad
communication antennas. No alternative technology would alleviate the need for the new
tower.
5. The next criterion is whether the proposed wireless communication facility is
designed and located to remove the significant gap in service in a manner that is the least
intrusive upon the surrounding area. The proposed tower height at this location is the
minimum necessary for the operation and does not exceed the maximum height of the
underlying zoning district. The photosimulations of the project show that the tower is
shielded from public views by trees along the south and the hillside to the north. Views
of the tower from other locations would be distant. The project would remove the
railroad's gap in service in a manner that is the least intrusive for the surrounding area.
6. TMC 18.58.060.B identifies examples of evidence which demonstrate that the
Code criteria listed above are met. As noted above, the application information shows
that the proposed height is the minimum necessary to achieve the coverage objectives for
the PTC system. There are no existing towers or structures, or alternative sites, which
would meet the coverage objectives, or which could provide co -location for the proposed
railroad signal communications facility. No alternative technology would be suitable so
as to avoid the construction of a new tower; the proposed facility uses a Radio Frequency
technology platform suited to meeting the applicant's objectives.
7. The proposal would meet the general requirements of TMC 18.58.070 and all
applicable development standards, and would be consistent with adopted City plans and
regulations.
8. The application would meet all applicable criteria for a Type III Wireless
Telecommunication Facility, and should be approved.
Decision
The application for a Type III Wireless Telecommunication Facility is hereby approved.
Entered this 9`" day of October, 2014.

FINDINGS
Vicinity/Site Information
Project Description
The applicant is requesting approval of a Type III Wireless Telecommunication Facilities [WCF] Permit to
construct a railroad communication tower and an equipment shed on BNSF right of way near south end of S
13e Pl. Applicant has stated that the proposed wireless communication facility is part of the federally —
mandated requirement for railroads to establish positive train control (PTC) on certain railroad lines. PTC
describes technology designed to automatically stop or slow a train before certain accidents occur. In particular
PRC is designed to prevent train to train collisions, derailments caused by excessive speed, and movement of
train through track switch left in the wrong position. The project includes construction of an 80 -feet high
railroad communication tower, a 6 feet by 8 feet aluminum enclosure shed and associated electrical connection
on the BNSF right-of-way in Tukwila. The tower and the equipment shed will be enclosed by a chain link fence
with slats.
Existing Development
The proposed location is on BNSF railroad right of way with railroad tracks immediately to the east of the
proposed tower. The property is zoned Heavy Industrial.
Surrounding Land Uses
Immediately to the west of the proposed tower is Baker Commodities, an animal rendering plant, which is
zoned Light Industrial. To the east of the proposed tower location are the railroad tracks. Foster Golf Course lies
further northwest and southwest. Foster Point neighborhood lies further north east.

BACKGROUND
In 2006, the City adopted a Wireless Facilities Chapter (TMC 18.71) to the Zoning Code. The chapter provides
specific location and design requirements for the placement of Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) within
the City of Tukwila. A wireless communication facility is defined under TMC 18.06.936 as "any tower,
antenna, ancillary structure or facility, or related equipment or component thereof, which is used for the
transmission of radio frequency signals through electromagnetic energy for the purpose of providing phone,
internet, video, information services, specialized mobile radio, enhanced specialized mobile radio, paging,
wireless digital data transmission, broadband, unlicensed spectrum services utilizing part 15 devices, and other
similar services that currently exist or that may in the future be developed". The proposed railroad facility meets
the definition of a wireless communications facility as it utilizes radio frequency technology platform.
Location Selection
Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) provides a hierarchy of appropriate locations within the City. Generally, co -
locations and utilizing existing structures are favored over the development of new standalone WCF within the
City.

Review Criteria
TMC 18.58.050 Types of Permits—Priority--Restrictions.
C. The City's preferences for locating new wireless communications facilities are as follows:
1. Place antennas on existing structures, such as buildings, towers, water towers, or electrical transmission
towers.
There are no existing structures such as buildings, towers, water towers or electrical transmission towers to meet
the technical coverage desired by the railroads for the proposed railroad communication facility.
2. Place wireless communication facilities in nonresidentially-zoned districts and nonresidential property.
The proposed location is on BNSF railroad right-of-way and it is zoned Heavy Industrial, which is a
nonresidential district.
3. Place antennas and towers on public property and on appropriate rights-of-way if practical, provided that no
obligation is created herein for the City to allow the use of City property or public right-of-way for this
purpose.
The proposed location is on BNSF right-of-way.
4. City Property/Public Rights -of -Way. The placement of personal wireless communication facilities on City
owned property and public rights-of-way will be subject to other applicable sections of the Tukwila Municipal
Code and review by other departments (i.e., Public Works, Parks and Recreation, etc.).
There is no opportunity to place the antennas on City property or City right-of-way that would meet the
applicant's coverage objectives.
5. Wireless communication facilities shall not be permitted on property designated as landmark or as part of a
historic district.
The proposed location is not on property designated as landmark or historic district.
TMC 18.58.060 New Towers.
A. New towers are not permitted within the City unless the Hearing Examiner finds that the applicant has
demonstrated by a preponderance of the evidence that:
1. Coverage objective –There exists an actual (not theoretical) significant gap in service, and the proposed
wireless communication facility will eliminate such significant gap in service; and
The proposed tower is specifically for railroad communications and part of the federally mandated requirement
for railroads to establish positive train control on certain railroad lines. The system will support Remote Control
Locomotive Operations. This is achieved through the utilization of an RF (Radio Frequency) technology
platform. BNSF has stated that the tower location and height was based on the result of RF mapping program
for the most optimum coverage for the safe operation of the system.
Page 4of9
2. Alternates — No existing tower or structure, or other feasible site or other alternative technologies not
requiring a new tower in the City, can accommodate the applicant's proposed wireless communication facility;
and
There are no existing towers or structures in the vicinity that could be utilized to mount the railroad
communication antennas.
3. Least intrusive: The proposed new wireless communication facility is designed and located to remove the
significant gap in service in a manner that is, in consideration of the values, objectives and regulations set forth
in this chapter, TMC Title 18, and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the least intrusive upon the surrounding
area.
The proposed tower and ancillary structure is designed and located to minimize impacts to the adjacent uses.
Applicant has stated that the proposed tower height is the minimum necessary for the operations and does not
exceed the maximum height of the underlying zoning district. Applicant has provided graphic simulations
(Attachment C to this staff report) showing the appearance of the proposed tower and ancillary structures from
six points near the tower location. The site is shielded from public view by trees along the south and ajoining
hillside along the north.
B. The Hearing Examiner shall be the reviewing body on the application to construct a new tower, and shall
determine whether or not each of the above requirements are met. Examples of evidence demonstrating the
foregoing requirements include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. That the tower height is the minimum necessary in order to achieve the coverage objective;
Applicant has stated that the proposed height is the minimum necessary to meet the coverage objectives.
2. That no existing towers or structures or alternative sites are located within the geographic area required to
meet the applicant's engineering requirements to meet its coverage objective (regardless of the geographical
boundaries of the City);
There are no existing towers or structures or alternative sites to meet the coverage objectives. The proposed
facility is not a typical cell tower facility. Instead it is a railroad communication tower for the safe operation of
the railroads and therefore needs to be closer to the railroad tracks.
3. That existing towers or structures are not of a sufficient height or could not feasibly be extended to a
sufficient height to meet the applicant's engineering requirements to meet its coverage objective;
There are no existing towers or structures in the vicinity to meet the applicant's coverage objectives.
Page 5 of 9
h
4. That existing structures or towers do not have sufficient structural strength to support the applicant's
proposed antenna and ancillary facilities;
There are no existing towers -or structures in the vicinity to meet the applicant's coverage objectives.
5. That the applicant's proposed antenna would cause electromagnetic interference with the antenna on the
existing towers or structures, or the antenna on the existing structures would cause interference with the
applicant's proposed antenna;
There are no interference issues anticipated with the proposed facility. The applicant is responsible for meeting
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements.
6. That the fees, costs or contractual provisions required by the owner or operator in order to share an existing
tower or structure, or to locate at an alternative site, or to adapt an existing tower or structure or alternative
site for sharing, are unreasonable. Costs exceeding new tower construction by 25% are presumed to be
unreasonable;
Applicant has stated that the proposed communication facility is intended specifically for railroad signal
communications. BNSF would consider future requests to co -locate antennas from wireless communications
companies or other entities; however due to its specific use for railroad signal communications the proposed
facility may not be best suited to provide or supplement commercial telecommunication service.
7. That an alternative technology that does not require the use of a new tower, such as a cable microcell
network using multiple low -powered transmitters/receivers attached to a wireline system, is unsuitable. Costs of
alternative technology that exceed new tower or antenna development shall not be presumed to render the
technology unsuitable; and
Applicant has stated that the proposed facility that uses RF (Radio Frequency) technology platform is the most
appropriate technology for meeting the railroad communications objectives.
8. The applicant demonstrates other limiting factors that render existing towers and structures or other sites or
alternative technologies unsuitable. All engineering and technological evidence must be provided and certified
by a registered and qualified professional engineer and clearly demonstrate the evidence required.
There are no existing structures or towers in the vicinity that could be used in lieu of the proposed tower.
C. The Hearing Examiner, after holding a public hearing, shall either approve, approve with conditions, or
deny the application, or remand the application back to staff for further investigation in a manner consistent
with the Hearing Examiner order.
The Hearing Examiner will be issuing a decision on the proposal after the public hearing.

Notes
1. Height — Any proposed tower with
antennas shall meet the height standards
of the zoning district where the tower
will be located.
X
An 80 feet high tower is
proposed and the maximum
height of the Heavy Industrial
(HI) Zone is 115 feet.
2. Antenna and tower aesthetics — The
applicant shall utilize a wireless
communication concealed facility. The
choice of concealing the wireless
communication facility must be
consistent with the overall use of the site.
For example, having a tower appear like
a flagpole would not be consistent if there
are no buildings on the site. If a flag or

it must be appropriate in scale to the size
and diameter of the tower.
X
The antennas are compatible with
the supporting structure.
3. Setbacks — The proposed wireless
communication facilities must meet the
setbacks of the underlying -zoning
district. If an exception is granted under
TMC Section 18.58.180 with regards to
height, the setback of the proposed
wireless communication facilities will
increase 2 feet for every foot in excess of
the maximum permitted height in the
zoning district.
X
The site plan (Attachment D)
shows the setbacks of 47.8 feet
from the west property line and
92.6 to the east property line of
the BNSF parcel 0001400003.
The minimum setbacks of HI
zone are 12.5 feet in front and
none in the side or rear unless it
is adjacent to residential zones, in
which case the setbacks are 10
feet. The proposed location
meets the minimum setback
requirements
4. Color — The color of the tower shall be
based on the surrounding land uses.

WCF.
2. The proposed modifications will not alter the surrounding land uses in terms of traffic and pedestrian
circulation, building or site design.
3. The proposed project is in keeping with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Land Use Policy
Plan.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff's recommendation to the hearing examiner is to approve this application for a Type III Wireless
Telecommunication Facility permit.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
1. A City of Tukwila building permit is required for the proposed tower. Also, an electric permit is
required for any electrical work.

Introduction
The applicant, BNSF, seeks approval of a Type III Wireless Telecommunications
Facility. A hearing was held on September 30, 2014, at the Department of Community
Development, 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Tukwila, WA. Represented at the hearing
were: the Department, by Minnie Dhaliwal, Senior Planner, and the applicant, BNSF, by
Lauren Schrbedter. No members of the public offered testimony at the public hearing.
All references to TMC or Code refer to the Tukwila Municipal Code. After due
consideration of the evidence presented at the public hearing, the following shall
constitute the findings of fact, conclusions and decision of the Hearing Examiner on this
application.
Findings of Fact
1. The site is located on BNSF railroad right-of-way near the south end of 130th Pl.
S. (Railroad Avenue off S. 129th Street).
2. The property is zoned Heavy Industrial (HI) and the City's Comprehensive Plan
designates the site as Heavy Industrial.
3. The proposal is for a wireless railroad communication tower and equipment shed
within the BNSF right-of-way. The project would include construction of an 80 -foot
high communication tower, a 6' by 8' aluminum enclosure shed and associated electrical
connection on the right-of-way. The tower and shed would be enclosed within a chain
link fence.
4. The proposed communication facility is in response to a federal mandate
requiring railroads to establish positive train control (PTC) on certain railroad lines. PTC
technology is designed to automatically stop or slow a train before certain accidents
occur, and is designed to prevent train -to -train collisions, derailments caused by
excessive speed, and movement of trains if a track switch is left in the wrong position.
5. The surrounding uses include an animal rendering plant to the west of the site and
railroad tracks to the east. Further northwest and southwest is the Foster Golf Course,
and further east is the Foster Point neighborhood.
6. Attachment C to Ex. 1 depicts the proposed tower as viewed from several vantage
points.
7. BNSF has submitted engineering design plans and loading calculations as shown
in Attachment E to Ex. 1.
8. The Department has reviewed the proposal and recommends approval without
conditions.
Hearing Examiner Decision
L14-0005 BNSF Wireless Application
Page 3 of 6
9. No public comments were submitted to the Department or the Hearing Examiner
on this application.
10. TMC 18.58.060 provides that:
A. New towers are not permitted within the City unless the Hearing
Examiner finds that the applicant has demonstrated by a preponderance of
the evidence that:
1. Coverage objective —There exists an actual (not theoretical)
significant gap in service, and the proposed wireless communication
facility will eliminate such significant gap in service; and
2. Alternates — No existing tower or structure, or other feasible site
or other alternative technologies not requiring a new tower in the City,
can accommodate the applicant's proposed wireless communication
facility; and
3. Least intrusive: The proposed i new wireless communication
facility is designed and located to remove the significant gap in service in
a manner that is, in consideration of the values, objectives and regulations
set forth in this chapter, TMC Title 18, and the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan, the least intrusive upon the surrounding area.
B. The Hearing Examiner shall be the reviewing body on the application
to construct a new tower, and shall determine whether or not each of the
above requirements are met. Examples of evidence demonstrating the
foregoing requirements include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. That the tower height is the minimum necessary in order to
achieve the coverage objective;
2. That no existing towers or structures or alternative sites are
located within the geographic area required to meet the applicant's
engineering requirements to meet its coverage objective (regardless of the
geographical boundaries of the
City);
3. That existing towers or structures are not of a sufficient height
or could not feasibly be extended to a sufficient height to meet the
applicant's engineering requirements to meet its coverage objective;
4. That existing structures or towers do not have sufficient
structural strengthto support the applicant's proposed antenna and
ancillary facilities;
S. That the applicant's proposed antenna would cause
electromagnetic interference with the antenna on the existing towers or
structures, or the antenna on the existing structures would cause
interference with the applicant's proposed antenna;
6. That the fees, costs or contractual provisions required by the
owner or operator in order to share an existing tower or structure, or to
/-'.\
Hearing Examiner Decision
L14-0005 BNSF Wireless Application
Page 4 of 6
locate at an alternative site, or to adapt an existing tower or structure or
alternative site for sharing, are unreasonable. Costs exceeding new tower
construction by 25% are presumed to be unreasonable;
7. That an alternative technology that does not require the use of a
new tower, such as a cable microcell network using multiple low -powered
transmitters/receivers attached to a wireline system, is unsuitable. Costs
of alternative technology that exceed new tower or antenna development
shall not be presumed to render the technology unsuitable; and
8. The applicant demonstrates other limiting factors that render
existing towers and structures or other sites or alternative technologies
unsuitable. All engineering and technological evidence must be provided
and certified by a registered and qualified professional engineer and
clearly demonstrate the evidence required
C. The Hearing Examiner, after holding a public hearing shall either
approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application, or remand the
application back to staff for further investigation in a manner consistent
with the Hearing Examiner order.
Conclusions
1. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction over this application pursuant to Chpater
18.58 TMC. Under TMC 18.58.050, an application for a new wireless communication
facility tower requires a Type 3 permit approval.
2. TMC 18.58.050.0 sets forth the City's preferences for the location of new
wireless communications facilities. ' The highest preference is for placement on an
existing structure, but there are no existing structures that would meet the technical
coverage requirements for the proposed facility. The next preferred locations are for
placement in non -residentially -zoned districts and nonresidential property, and the project
meets this preference, since it would be located in the HI district and on railroad right-of-
way property. Sites located on City property or within public rights-of-way would not
meet the applicant's coverage objectives. The proposed location is not designated as a
landmark or historic district. The application is consistent with the City's preferred
locations for new wireless communications facilities.
3. New towers must meet the criteria of TMC 18.58.060. The proposed tower would
be specifically for railroad communication as part of the federal mandated requirement to
establish PTC. The proposed tower location and its height are necessary to provide
BNSF with . optimum coverage for safe operation of the control system. This criterion is
met.
4. The next criterion is whether other existing towers or structures, sites, or other
alternative technologies not requiring a new tower, could accommodate the proposed
wireless communication facility. The proposal meets this requirement, for there are no
Hearing Examiner Decision
L14-0005 BNSF Wireless Application
Page 5 of 6
existing towers or structures in the vicinity that could be utilized to mount the railroad
communication antennas. No alternative technology would alleviate the need for the new
tower.
5. The next criterion is whether the proposed wireless communication facility is
designed and located to remove the significant gap in service in a manner that is the Least
intrusive upon the surrounding area. The proposed tower height at this location is the
minimum necessary for the operation and does not exceed the maximum height of the
underlying zoning district. The photosimulations of the project show that the tower is
shielded from public views by trees along the south and the hillside to the north. Views
of the tower from other locations would be distant. The project would remove the
railroad's gap in service in a manner that is the least intrusive for the surrounding area.
6. TMC 18.58.060.B identifies examples of evidence which demonstrate that the
Code criteria listed above are met. As noted above, the application information shows
that the proposed height is the minimum necessary to achieve the coverage objectives for
the PTC system. There are no existing towers or structures, or alternative sites, which
would meet the coverage objectives, or which could provide co -location for the proposed
railroad signal communications facility. No alternative technology would be suitable so
as to avoid the construction of a new tower; the proposed facility uses a Radio Frequency
technology platform suited to meeting the applicant's objectives.
7. The proposal would meet the general requirements of TMC 18.58.070 and all
applicable development standards, and would be consistent with adopted City plans and
regulations.
8. The application would meet all applicable criteria for a Type III Wireless
Telecommunication Facility, and should be approved.
Decision
The application for a Type III Wireless Telecommunication Facility is hereby approved.
Entered this 9t' day of October, 2014.

FINDINGS
Vicinity/Site Information
Pn ject Description
Fhe applicant is requesting approval of a "Type III Wireless "Telecommunication Facilities I WCF] Permit to
construct a railroad communication tower and an equipment shed on BNSF right of way near south end of S
1 30'x' PI. Applicant has stated that the proposed wireless communication facility is part of the federally —
n►andated requirement for railroads to establish positive train control (PTC) on certain railroad lines. PTC
describes technology designed to automatically stop or slow a train before certain accidents occur. In particular
PRC is designed to prevent tram to train collisions, derailments caused by excessive speed, and movement or
[rain through track switch lett in the wrong position. The project includes construction of an 80 -feet high
railroad communication tower, a 6 feet by 8 feet aluminum enclosure shed and associated electrical connection
on the BNSF right-of-way in Tukwila. The tower and the equipment shed will he enclosed by a chain link fence
1vi[h slats.
Fxisting Development
The proposed location is on BNSF railroad right of way with railroad tracks immediately to the cast of the
proposed tower. The property is zoned Heavy Industrial.
Surrounding Land Uses
Immediately to the west of the proposed tower is Baker Commodities, an animal rendering plant, which is
zoned Fight Industrial. To the east of the proposed tower location are the railroad tracks. Foster Golf Course hes
further northwest and southwest. Foster Point neighborhood lies further north east.
BACKGROUND
In 2006, the City adopted a Wireless Facilities Chapter (TMC 18.71) to the Zoning Code. The chapter provides
specific location and design requirements for the placement of Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) within
the City of Tukwila. A wireless communication facility is defined under TMC 18.06.936 as "any tower,
antenna, ancillary structure or facility, or related equipment or component thereof, which is used for the
transmission of radio frequency signals through electromagnetic energy for the purpose of providing phone,
internet, video, information services, specialized mobile radio, enhanced specialized mobile radio, paging,
wireless digital data transmission, broadband, unlicensed spectrum services utilizing part 15 devices, and other
similar services that currently exist or that may in the future be developed". The proposed railroad facility meets
the definition of a wireless communications facility as it utilizes radio frequency technology platform.
Location Selection
Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) provides a hierarchy of appropriate locations within the City. Generally, co -
locations and utilizing existing structures are favored over the development of new standalone WCF within the
City.

Review Criteria
TMC 18.58.050 Types of Permits—Priority--Restrictions.
C. The City's preferences for locating new wireless communications facilities are as follows:
1. Place antennas on existing structures, such as buildings, towers, water towers, or electrical transmission
towers.
There are no existing structures such as buildings, towers, water towers or electrical transmission towers to meet
the technical coverage desired by the railroads for the proposed railroad communication facility.
2. Place wireless communication facilities in nonresidentially-zoned districts and nonresidential property.
The proposed location is on BNSF railroad right-of-way and it is zoned Heavy Industrial, which is a
nonresidential district.
3. Place antennas and towers on public property and on appropriate rights-of-way if practical, provided that no
obligation is created herein for the City to allow the use of City property or public right-of-way for this
purpose.
The proposed location is on BNSF right-of-way.
4. City Property/Public Rights -of -Way. The placement of personal wireless communication facilities on City
owned property and public rights-of-way will be subject to other applicable sections of the Tukwila Municipal
Code and review by other departments (i.e., Public Works, Parks and Recreation, etc.).
There is no opportunity to place the antennas on City property or City right-of-way that would meet the
applicant's coverage objectives.
5. Wireless communication facilities shall not be permitted on property designated as landmark or as part of a
historic district.
The proposed location is not on property designated as landmark or historic district.
TMC 18.58.060 New Towers.
A. New towers are not permitted within the City unless the Hearing Examiner finds that the applicant has
demonstrated by a preponderance of the evidence that:
1. Coverage objective –There exists an actual (not theoretical) significant gap in service, and the proposed
wireless communication facility will eliminate such significant gap in service; and
The proposed tower is specifically for railroad communications and part of the federally mandated requirement
for railroads to establish positive train control on certain railroad lines. The system will support Remote Control
Locomotive Operations. This is achieved through the utilization of an RF (Radio Frequency) technology
platform. BNSF has stated that the tower location and height was based on the result of RF mapping program
for the most optimum coverage for the safe operation of the system.
Page 4 of 9
2. Alternates — No existing tower or structure, or other feasible site or other alternative technologies not
requiring a new tower in the City, can accommodate the applicant's proposed wireless communication facility;
and
There are no existing towers or structures in the vicinity that could be utilized to mount the railroad
communication antennas.
3. Least intrusive: The proposed new wireless communication facility is designed and located to remove the
significant gap in service in a manner that is, in consideration of the values, objectives and regulations set forth
in this chapter, TMC Title 18, and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the least intrusive upon the surrounding
area.
The proposed tower and ancillary structure is designed and located to minimize impacts to the adjacent uses.
Applicant has stated that the proposed tower height is the minimum necessary for the operations and does not
exceed the maximum height of the underlying zoning district. Applicant has provided graphic simulations
(Attachment C to this staff report) showing the appearance of the proposed tower and ancillary structures from
six points near the tower location. The site is shielded from public view by trees along the south and ajoining
hillside along the north.
B. The Hearing Examiner shall be the reviewing body on the application to construct a new tower, and shall
determine whether or not each of the above requirements are met. Examples of evidence demonstrating the
foregoing requirements include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. That the tower height is the minimum necessary in order to achieve the coverage objective;
Applicant has stated that the proposed height is the minimum necessary to meet the coverage objectives.
2. That no existing towers or structures or alternative sites are located within the geographic area required to
meet the applicant's engineering requirements to meet its coverage objective (regardless of the geographical
boundaries of the City);
There are no existing towers or structures or alternative sites to meet the coverage objectives. The proposed
facility is not a typical cell tower facility. Instead it is a railroad communication tower for the safe operation of
the railroads and therefore needs to be closer to the railroad tracks.
3. That existing towers or structures are not of a sufficient height or could not feasibly be extended to a
sufficient height to meet the applicant's engineering requirements to meet its coverage objective;
There are no existing towers or structures in the vicinity to meet the applicant's coverage objectives.
Page 5 of 9
/\
4. That existing structures or towers do not have sufficient structural strength to support the applicant's
proposed antenna and ancillary facilities;
There are no existing towers or structures in the vicinity to meet the applicant's coverage objectives.
5. That the applicant's proposed antenna would cause electromagnetic interference with the antenna on the
existing towers or structures, or the antenna on the existing structures would cause interference with the
applicant's proposed antenna;
There are no interference issues anticipated with the proposed facility. The applicant is responsible for meeting
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements.
6. That the fees, costs or contractual provisions required by the owner or operator in order to share an existing
tower or structure, or to locate at an alternative site, or to adapt an existing tower or structure or alternative
site for sharing, are unreasonable. Costs exceeding new tower construction by 25% are presumed to be
unreasonable;
Applicant has stated that the proposed communication facility is intended specifically for railroad signal
communications. BNSF would consider future requests to co -locate antennas from wireless communications
companies or other entities; however due to its specific use for railroad signal communications the proposed
facility may not be best suited to provide or supplement commercial telecommunication service.
7. That an alternative technology that does not require the use of a new tower, such as a cable microcell
network using multiple low -powered transmitters/receivers attached to a wireline system, is unsuitable. Costs of
alternative technology that exceed new tower or antenna development shall not be presumed to render the
technology unsuitable; and
Applicant has stated that the proposed facility that uses RF (Radio Frequency) technology platform is the most
appropriate technology for meeting the railroad communications objectives.
8. The applicant demonstrates other limiting factors that render existing towers and structures or other sites or
alternative technologies unsuitable. All engineering and technological evidence must be provided and certified
by a registered and qualified professional engineer and clearly demonstrate the evidence required.
There are no existing structures or towers in the vicinity that could be used in lieu of the proposed tower.
C. The Hearing Examiner, after holding a public hearing, shall either approve, approve with conditions, or
deny the application, or remand the application back to staff for further investigation in a manner consistent
with the Hearing Examiner order.
The Hearing Examiner will be issuing a decision on the proposal after the public hearing.

Not
Applicable
Notes
1. Height — Any proposed tower with
antennas shall meet the height standards
of the zoning district where the tower
will be located.
X
An 80 feet high tower is
proposed and the maximum
height of the Heavy Industrial
(HI) Zone is 115 feet.
2. Antenna and tower aesthetics — The
applicant shall utilize a wireless
communication concealed facility. The
choice of concealing the wireless
communication facility must be
consistent with the overall use of the site.
For example, having a tower appear like
a flagpole would not be consistent if there
are no buildings on the site. If a flag or
other wind device is attached to the pole,
it must be appropriate in scale to the size
and diameter of the tower.
X
The antennas are compatible with
the supporting structure.
3. Setbacks — The proposed wireless
communication facilities must meet the
setbacks of the underlying -zoning
district. If an exception is granted under
TMC Section 18.58.180 with regards to
height, the setback of the proposed
wireless communication facilities will
increase 2 feet for every foot in excess of
the maximum permitted height in the
zoning district.
X
The site plan (Attachment D)
shows the setbacks of 47.8 feet
from the west property line and
92.6 to the east property line of
the BNSF parcel 0001400003.
The minimum setbacks of HI
zone are 12.5 feet in front and
none in the side or rear unless it
is adjacent to residential zones, in
which case the setbacks are 10
feet. The proposed location
meets the minimum setback
requirements
4. Color — The color of the tower shall be
based on the surrounding land uses.
X
The proposed tower is galvanized

Lauren,
It would be helpful if the site plan also showed the location of tracks relative to the proposed tower. Also, the fire
department has requested the following information:
1) Need collapse zone map
2) No derailment crash protection shown on plans
If you have questions on the fire department's request, you can contact Don Tomaso, File Marshall at 206-971-8723.

Lauren,
After visiting the site and looking at your suggested location, it appeared that there were going to be sight distance
issues so we decided to post the sign on S 130th PI facing the residential street ( 57TH Ave). See attached photo.
Also, we will need a site plan that shows the property lines of parcel number 0001400003 and the proposed location of
the tower and any ground equipment to ensure that the location complies with the setbacks of the underlying zoning
(Heavy Industrial). We also need to determine if the location is outside the shoreline zone (200 feet from the ordinary
high water mark of the River). If it is within 200 feet then a substantial shoreline development permit is required. See
map below showing the river and 200 feet buffer.

We would like to propose the intersection of 5129th and Railroad Ave as this is a location that has potential for the
public to see the sign; I anticipate this is city owned property based on the two adjacent streets. If the sign needs to be
on BNSF property, or if it needs to be closer to the tower location, a location along Railroad Ave or S 130th place would
likely be the next best option.
If the installtion is only a few feet off of a public road, I don't anticipate it will be necessary for someone from BNSF to
meet the installer onsite.

Minnie,
Go ahead and issue you SEPA, I have one more question for Lauren on the collapse zone but we are
fine. Fire normally utilizes a 1.5 factor when calculating a collapse zone. That would make it a 120'
circle that if I measured correctly places the scale house building within the collapse zone.

Thanks for your time by phone, and for getting back to me with your email address. Attached to this email you will find
the image I mentioned. The tower and associated equipment shelter are to -scale in the image. The tower is 80' tall; the
circle shown is 100'. As you can see, the 100' radius circle does not impact the road or the main rendering plant
building.

Minnie,
Go ahead and issue you SEPA, I have one more question for Lauren on the collapse zone but we are
fine. Fire normally utilizes a 1.5 factor when calculating a collapse zone. That would make it a 120'
circle that if I measured correctly places the scale house building within the collapse zone.

Thanks for your time by phone, and for getting back to me with your email address. Attached to this email you will find
the image I mentioned. The tower and associated equipment shelter are to -scale in the image. The tower is 80' tall; the
circle shown is 100'. As you can see, the 100' radius circle does not impact the road or the main rendering plant
building.

Lauren,
It would be helpful if the site plan also showed the location of tracks relative to the proposed tower. Also, the fire
department has requested the following information:
1) Need collapse zone map
2) No derailment crash protection shown on plans
If you have questions on the fire department's request, you can contact Don Tomaso, File Marshall at 206-971-8723.

Lauren,
After visiting the site and looking at your suggested location, it appeared that there were going to be sight distance
issues so we decided to post the sign on S 130th PI facing the residential street ( 57TH Ave). See attached photo.
Also, we will need a site plan that shows the property lines of parcel number 0001400003 and the proposed location of
the tower and any ground equipment to ensure that the location complies with the setbacks of the underlying zoning
(Heavy Industrial). We also need to determine if the location is outside the shoreline zone (200 feet from the ordinary
high water mark of the River). If it is within 200 feet then a substantial shoreline development permit is required. See
map below showing the river and 200 feet buffer.

We would like to propose the intersection of 5129th and Railroad Ave as this is a location that has potential for the
public to see the sign; I anticipate this is city owned property based on the two adjacent streets. If the sign needs to be
on BNSF property, or if it needs to be closer to the tower location, a location along Railroad Ave or S 130th place would
likely be the next best option.
If the installtion is only a few feet off of a public road, I don't anticipate it will be necessary for someone from BNSF to
meet the installer onsite.

Lauren,
After visiting the site and looking at your suggested location, it appeared that there were going to be sight distance
issues so we decided to post the sign on S 130th PI facing the residential street ( 57TH Ave). See attached photo.
Also, we will need a site plan that shows the property lines of parcel number 0001400003 and the proposed location of
the tower and any ground equipment to ensure that the location complies with the setbacks of the underlying zoning
(Heavy Industrial). We also need to determine if the location is outside the shoreline zone (200 feet from the ordinary
high water mark of the River). If it is within 200 feet then a substantial shoreline development permit is required. See
map below showing the river and 200 feet buffer.

We would like to propose the intersection of 5129th and Railroad Ave as this is a location that has potential for the
public to see the sign; I anticipate this is city owned property based on the two adjacent streets. If the sign needs to be
on BNSF property, or if it needs to be closer to the tower location, a location along Railroad Ave or S 130th place would
likely be the next best option.
If the installtion is only a few feet off of a public road, I don't anticipate it will be necessary for someone from BNSF to
meet the installer onsite.

On behalf of BNSF Railway (BNSF), this letter and supporting documents are intended to
provide the information marked on the February 27, 2014 Application Checklist to complete the
application for land use approval to install a railroad signal communication tower, equipment
enclosure, and associated utilities on the BNSF right-of-way in Tukwila, Washington.
BNSF reserves all rights it may have under applicable law and nothing in this application is a
waiver of the preemptive effect of any state or federal law.
BNSF engages in the City of Tukwila permitting process voluntarily, as an effort to foster
cooperation and transparency in this process. Ordinarily, an interstate railroad is not required to
obtain state or local construction permits to build a facility that is integrally related to the
railroad's transportation operations. Under the ICC Termination Act of 1995 ("ICCTA"), the
federal Surface Transportation Board ("STB") has exclusive jurisdiction over interstate rail
transportation, and state and local regulation is expressly preempted. 49 U.S.C.
§10501(b). ICCTA preemption has been applied to a wide variety of state and local permitting,
zoning, and land use requirements for construction of facilities related to rail transportation. See,
e.g., North San Diego County Transit Development Board -Petition for Declaratory Order, 2002
WL 1924265 (August 19, 2002) (preempting state and local permitting requirements regarding
construction of side track).
As a policy matter BNSF routinely applies for state and local construction permits, and does not
usually invoke ICCTA preemption unless the permitting process becomes unduly prolonged or
conditions are imposed that are incompatible with BNSF's operating needs. By engaging in this
practice, however, BNSF is in no way waiving its right under the ICCTA preemption of state and
local regulation
A copy of the February 27, 2014 Application Checklist is attached for reference. The information
described below is provided as noted on the checklist.
4. Payments of the following fees are enclosed:
SEPA Review: $2,207.75
Wireless Facilities Permit $164.30
5. Affidavit of Ownership and Hold Harmless Permission to Enter Property. A revised form is
attached. BNSF modified the hold harmless condition (No. 5) to read "Owner agrees to hold
the City harmless for any loss or damage to persons or property occurring on the private
12R0005\L20140307_TukCD
-2
property during the City's entry upon the property, except to the extent the loss or damage is
the result of the negligence of the City." BNSF also added a condition requiring the City to
notify the Owner's representative for safety instructions prior to any entry onto BNSF
Railway property.
6. Five sets of the SEPA Environmental Checklist are enclosed.
7. This letter describes the proposed project and compliance with the City's Code
requirements. Compliance with the requirements of TMC Sections 18.58.060 and 18.58.070
is described in Items 15 and 16 below.
15. This letter responds to the criteria at TMC Section 18.58.060.
A.1. Coverage objective — The proposed tower is specifically for railroad communications
and part of the federally -mandated requirement for railroads to establish positive train
control (PTC) on certain railroad lines. The system will support Remote Control
Locomotive Operations. This is achieved through the utilization of an RF (Radio
Frequency) technology platform. Tower locations and heights are determined by a
complex RF Mapping program which determines optimum coverage for the safe
operation of the system within a specific area of the yard. This tower location and height
was selected based on the results of that study. The proposed tower is not intended to
provide or supplement commercial telecommunication service.
A.2. Alternates — There are no existing towers or other structures in the vicinity that could be
utilized to mount the railroad communication antennas.
A.3. Least intrusive — The proposed tower and ancillary structure is designed and located to
provide the federally -mandated railroad communications. The proposed installation is
consistent with the current use of the property as railroad right-of-way. The tower height
is the minimum necessary to provide locomotive remote control and railroad
communications. As shown on the enclosed graphic simulations (Item 19 below), the
tower will be shielded from public view from most directions by adjacent trees and
hillside.
16. This letter addresses the information required under TMC Section 18.58.070.
1. Noise — The proposed facility will not include a generator and will not generate noise.
2. Business license — BNSF Railway Company has a valid business license, UBI
#600015676.
3. Signage — No signs will be placed on the railroad communication facility.
4. Parking — Railroad maintenance personnel will access the communication facility from
the railroad right-of-way. No public access is intended or provided.
5. Finish — The tower will be galvanized steel.
6. Design — The communication equipment enclosure will be consistent with other railroad
signal and communication enclosures. The communication facility will be enclosed
within a chain link fence with brown slats to screen the view from South 130th Place.
7. Color — Antennas will be compatible with the color of the supporting structure.
8. Lighting — No light will be installed on the tower.
9. Advertising — No advertising will be placed on the railroad communication facility.
10. Equipment enclosure — The proposed equipment enclosure will be 6 feet by 8 feet, or
48 square feet.
19. Graphic simulations showing the appearance of the proposed tower and ancillary structures
from six points near the tower location are enclosed. The actual site location is shielded
from public view by trees along the south property line along South 130th Place and by the
12R0005\L20140307_TukCD
3
adjoining hillside along the north property line. Graphic simulations are shown of the site
location and from five nearby public access points including:
• Interstate 5 — The tower would be visible in the distance.
• 57th Avenue South — The tower would be visible in the distance.
• Beacon Coal Mine Road South (two locations) — The road is lined with trees and the
tower would be visible only intermittently through breaks in the tree line.
• Martin Luther King Jr. Way (Route 900) — The road is about 200 feet higher than the
tower site, or about 120 feet higher than the top of the proposed tower. Views from the
roadway looking down on the tower site are shielded by industrial activities and trees.
20. The proposed 80 -foot tower is Tess than Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards for
height and lighting. FAA standards for determining obstructions to air navigation are
contained in 14 CFR Part 77 and described in Advisory Circular AC 70/7460-1 K. According
to the Advisory Circular, "Any temporary or permanent structure, including all
appurtenances, that exceeds an overall height of 200 feet (61m) above ground level (AGL)
or exceeds any obstruction standard contained in 14 CFR Part 77, should normally be
marked and/or lighted." Since the tower will be less than 200 feet and does not exceed any
of the obstruction standards in 14 CFR Part 77, no air navigation marking or lighting is
required.
22. BNSF will pay a $365 notice board fee to FastSigns Tukwila within 14 days of the
Department determining that the application is complete.
23. BNSF will provide an Excel spreadsheet of property owners and tenants within 500 feet of
the project location.
On behalf of BNSF, we request the City of Tukwila's land use approval to install the PTC
wireless communication equipment. Please contact me at (425) 285-5112 or

RE: Application for Wireless Communication Facility
BNSF Railway, Tukwila, Washington
Dear Sir or Madam:

Hanson Professional Services Inc.

On behalf of BNSF Railway (BNSF), enclosed are an application and supporting documentation
for land use approval to install a railroad signal communication tower, equipment bungalow, and
associated utilities on the BNSF right-of-way in Tukwila, Washington. Payment of the $3,286.00
application fee is enclosed.
BNSF reserves all rights it may have under applicable law and nothing in this application is a
waiver of the preemptive effect of any state or federal law.
BNSF engages in the City of Tukwila permitting process voluntarily, as an effort to foster
cooperation and transparency in this process. Ordinarily, an interstate railroad is not required to
obtain state or local construction permits to build a facility that is integrally related to the
railroad's transportation operations. Under the ICC Termination Act of 1995 ("ICCTA"), the
federal Surface Transportation Board ("STB") has exclusive jurisdiction over interstate rail
transportation, and state and local regulation is expressly preempted. 49 U.S.C.
§10501(b). ICCTA preemption has been applied to a wide variety of state and local permitting,
zoning, and land use requirements for construction of facilities related to rail transportation. See,
e.g., North San Diego County Transit Development Board -Petition for Declaratory Order, 2002
WL 1924265 (August 19, 2002) (preempting state and local permitting requirements regarding
construction of side track).
As a policy matter BNSF routinely applies for state and local construction permits, and does not
usually invoke ICCTA preemption unless the permitting process becomes unduly prolonged or
conditions are imposed that are incompatible with BNSF's operating needs. By engaging in this
practice, however, BNSF is in no way waiving its right under the ICCTA preemption of state and
local regulation
The following documents are enclosed with this letter:
• Wireless Telecommunication Facility Application (five copies);
• Complete Application Checklist (five copies);
• Vicinity maps and site photographs (five sets);
• SEPA Environmental Review; and
• Engineering plans for the proposed tower (four sets).

Project Description
This wireless communication facility is part of the federally -mandated requirement for railroads
to establish positive train control (PTC) on certain railroad lines. PTC describes technology
designed to automatically stop or slow a train before certain accidents occur. In particular, PTC
is designed to prevent train -to -train collisions, derailments caused by excessive speed,
unauthorized incursions by trains onto sections of track where repairs are being made, and
movement of a train through a track switch left in the wrong position. The project includes
installation of an 80 -ft railroad communication tower, a 6 ft by 8 ft aluminum equipment
bungalow, and associated electrical connection on the BNSF right-of-way in Tukwila. The tower
and equipment bungalow will be enclosed by a chain link fence. Site location maps and
photographs showing the site location are attached.
The proposed installation is consistent with the current use of the property as railroad right-of-
way and is intended to provide safety benefits to the community in accordance with the Rail
Safety Improvement Act of 2008. The BNSF right-of-way is zoned in Tukwila as Heavy
Industrial, and the adjacent property is zoned as Light Industrial. The proposed installation will
not impact pedestrian or vehicular traffic, will not affect movement of emergency vehicles, will
not cause lot coverage that is incompatible with surrounding properties, and will not cause
noise, light, or glare impacts to the surrounding properties. The proposed tower must be 80 ft
tall as designed in order to provide effective PTC communications. No light will be installed on
the tower. The proposed installation will not increase storm water runoff and will not affect any
wetlands, water bodies, steep slopes, aquifer recharge, or fish and wildlife.
The proposed communication facility is intended specifically for railroad signal communications.
There are no existing towers in the vicinity that could be utilized to mount the railroad
communication antennas. BNSF will consider future requests to co -locate antennas from
wireless communications companies or other entities; however, due to its specific use for
railroad signal communications, the proposed facility is not sited for commercial
telecommunications services.
On behalf of BNSF, we request the City of Tukwila's land use approval to install the PTC
wireless communication equipment. Along with this application, we request that the City waive
certain requirements that may be applicable to commercial telecommunication facilities or
wireless communication facilities installed in residential or commercial zones. Please note that
due to federal railroad safety regulations, BNSF cannot grant the City the right to enter the right-
of-way or hold the City harmless for any Toss or damages that may occur on BNSF property.
However, we can arrange a BNSF safety escort if a site visit is needed. Please contact me at
(425) 285-5112 or Ischroedter(c�hanson-inc.com if you have questions or need additional
information.

Tower Input Data
The main tower is a 3x free standing tower with an overall height of 80.00 ft above the ground line.
The base of the tower is set at an elevation of 0.0011 above the ground line.
The face width of the tower is 1.00 ft at the top and 3.00 ft at the base.
This tower is designed using the TIA-222-G standard.
The following design criteria apply:
Tower is located in King County, Washington.
Basic wind speed of 85 mph.
Structure Class II.
Exposure Category C.
Topographic Category 1.
Crest Height 0.00 ft.

Ice thickness is considered to increase with height.
Ice density of 56 pcf.
A wind speed of 30 mph is used in combination with ice.
Temperature drop of 50 °F.
Deflections calculated using a wind speed of 60 mph.
Weld together tower sections have flange connections..
Connections use galvanized A325 bolts, nuts and locking devices. Installation per TIA/EIA-222 and AISC
Specifications..
Tower members are "hot dipped" galvanized in accordance with ASTM A123 and ASTM A153 Standards..
Welds are fabricated with ER -70S-6 electrodes..
A non-linear (P -delta) analysis was used.
Pressures are calculated at each section.
Stress ratio used in tower member design is 1.
Local bending stresses due to climbing Toads, feed line supports, and appurtenance mounts are not considered.
