title
A RESOLUTION granting conceptual approval to construct, maintain, and operate a transformer and retaining wall at 63rd Avenue Southwest, intersecting with Beach Drive Southwest and Southwest Spokane Street, to support the operation of the Alki Wet Weather Treatment Station Facility and 63rd Avenue Pump Station Facility in the West Seattle neighborhood, as proposed by King County.
body
WHEREAS, King County applied for permission to construct, maintain, and operate a transformer and retaining wall ("Transformer") at 63rd Avenue Southwest, intersecting with Beach Drive Southwest and Southwest Spokane Street, as part of the Alki Wet Weather Treatment Station/63rd Avenue Pump Station Standby Power Project ("Project"); and
WHEREAS, the Project involves the construction of a permanent high-capacity generator to ensure consistent power for the Alki Wet Weather Treatment Station Facility and the 63rd Avenue Pump Station Facility pumps in the event of a power outage, preventing a cease in operations resulting in raw wastewater overflow; and
WHEREAS, Seattle City Light required King County to install the transmission lines and duct bank under Beach Drive Southwest; and
WHEREAS, the Transformer steps down the power from the subterranean ducts back to appropriate voltage levels for the operation of the 63rd Avenue Pump Station; and
WHEREAS, in making a recommendation, the Director of the Seattle Department of Transportation ("Director") considered the plans and application materials submitted by King County to construct the Transformer and recommends that conceptual approval be granted; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEATTLE, THE MAYOR CONCURRING, THAT:
Section 1. The City Council finds that the Transformer at 63rd Avenue Southwest, intersecting with Beach Drive Southwest and Southwest Spokane Street, as proposed by King County, is in accordance with and in the public interest.
