A few weeks ago, there was a pre-application meeting for two yards and parking areas that The <br /> Boeing Company is proposing to expand. One is the Rail Yard Receival area on the west side of the <br /> factory and the other is lot E6 on the east side. I was on vacation that week, but I think that you, <br /> Dave Tyler and several other city staff may have attended the meeting. John Turner and Russell <br /> Larmay attended for Boeing. <br /> As I was filling out an environmental checklist for the project, I realized that the area was planned as <br /> yards and parking in the 1991 master plan (see attachment#1) and thus would likely be considered <br /> "vested" under the City's Planning Directive Interpretation (POI) 09-002 dated 7-29-09 which <br /> addressed stormwater standards. <br /> ' To validate the 1991 Master Plan drawing, we checked the data in the 1991 Draft <br /> EIS, Technical Appendix, Volume I, Section C which analyzed the impacts to the Powder Mill Gulch <br /> Basin. Much of the analysis drew on the 1988 Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan (CSDP). The <br /> ' expansion of lot E6 would straddle areas 56 and 75 from the CSDP (see attachment#2). <br /> From reviewing these documents we concluded that the areas 56 and 70 had been planned for <br /> approximately 22.8 and 10.9 acres of impervious area respectively for a total of 33.7 impervious <br /> ' acres (see attachment#3). <br /> We took a snap shot from Google Earth to review how the area was actually built out (see attachment <br /> ' #4). <br /> The total area is 36.9 acres. The calculations for the Powder Mill Gulch Detention Pond assumed <br /> 33.7 acres impervious and 3.2 acres pervious. After measuring, we found that instead of 3.2 pervious <br /> acres, we actually have more than 6.71 pervious acres. This would leave a balance of 3.51 acres of <br /> yards/parking to be built (see attachment#5). Note, despite the balance, we are only proposing to <br /> build approximately 1.0 acre. <br /> Even though we feel that this area would likely be considered "vested", instead of using an <br /> ' impervious surface, we are proposing to obtain a geo-tech study and, assuming the study concludes <br /> the soil is suitable, use this area to test a system of pervious concrete. Since this is a pilot project, we <br /> would like to add catch basins and tie the area into the existing drainage system in the event that the <br /> ' pervious concrete does not work as well as planned. <br /> Please let us know if you concur with our analysis and approach. We'd be happy to meet again if you <br /> would like to discuss this issue further. <br /> ' Sincerely, <br /> Peite.Mr-Gwi.r e' <br /> ' Pete McGuire <br /> The Boeing Company <br /> Land Use and Civic Affairs <br /> Phone:425-238-3768 <br /> Fax(425)266-8105 <br /> 2 <br />
