Conclusion: The Applicant should have an option to cover the containers or to provide industrial pretreatment of stormwater runoff if containers are not covered. Neighborhood Appeal - The issue of providing covers for containers was not appealed. H. ISSUE - IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF ALLEYS ABUTTING THE SITE Shockey Appeal The Shockey appeal refers to Condition #8 under Information for Developer, of the MDNS. This condition states that performance guarantees are required for the alley improvements. Findings: Performance guarantees (i.e. , bonds) must be posted for all projects requiring public street or alley improvements. The purpose of the performance guarantee is to ensure that the improvements are constructed. Because alleys are City property, responsibility for future maintenance of the alleys abutting the site would lie with the City, not the Applicant. Conclusions: City staff believes the Applicant's concern about future alley maintenance has been satisfied. Neighborhood Appeal The Neighborhood appeal maintains that the MDNS does not require that alleys abutting the site be improved to a minimum standard in order to avoid damage by truck traffic. Findings: Condition #3 under, Information by the Developer, of the MDNS states, "The alley rights-of-way along the property's frontage must be paved per City standards. " The applicable City Standard (No. 303) requires three inches of Class B asphalt overlaid on a structural roadway base. " (See Exhibit #12. ) Alleys which are constructed to this standard can accommodate heavy truck traffic such as trucks operated by Rubatino. Prior to issuance of permits, the Applicant will be required to provide detailed engineering drawings which demonstrate that the alley will be constructed to the applicable standard. Conclusions: City Standard No. 303 for alley construction is a straightforward code requirement. This standard would be applied even if a SEPA review were not required for the proposal. Implementation of this standard will ensure that the alleys are not damaged by heavy truck traffic.
