PUBLIC HEARING
Street Name Change:This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and
published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to
consider changing the name of a portion of N Park Dr.to N Southport Dr. and a portion of NE
Park Dr.to NE Sunset Blvd.
Cliff Long, Economic Development Director, reported that SECO Development,the developer
of the Southport Lake Washington project, initiated the request. He noted that this issue is
being brought before the Council because there is no administrative process for changing
street names. Mr. Long stated that SECO Development requested the change for the following
reasons:
• Wayfinding in this area is confusing due to the current street naming conventions.
• Changing the street names will reduce confusion as this area continues to grow.
• Their project and others working and living in the area will benefit from consistent
street names and signage.
Continuing, Mr. Long reported that there are no parcels along the affected corridor that are
currently addressed from these streets,and therefore,there will be no expenses or
disruptions to adjacent property owners. He also reported that the request to change the
street names was reviewed by City departments and the Renton Regional Fire Authority and
no opposition was expressed.Additionally, Mr. Long reported that SECO Development has
agreed to bear the costs of all sign design,fabrication, and installation of the signs required to
implement the street name changes. Mr. Long displayed a map indicating where and which
portions of the roads would be affected by the name changes. He then indicated that staff
recommends approving the request to change the name of a portion of N Park Dr.to N
Southport Dr.and a portion of NE Park Dr.to NE Sunset Blvd.
Public comment was invited:
• Rocale Timmons,SECO Development,spoke in support of the proposed street name
changes.
Responding to Council inquiries, Mr. Long reiterated that SECO Development would bear the
costs of designing,fabricating,and installing the new street signs, including those requiring
approval by the Washington State Department of Transportation.
There being no further comments, it was

December 4, 2017 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
• Inclement Weather Response Reminder:The Public Works Department would like to
remind residents to help prevent local residential street flooding by monitoring catch
basins near your home and keeping them clear of leaves and other debris. Street
sweepers are dispatched daily to clean up debris along major arterials.Also,snow is
not far away. Please remember that during snow and ice events,the department
sanders and snow plows are dispatched to keep major arterials drivable.Visit our
website to view our snow route maps. It is imperative that motorists do not park or
abandon their vehicles within any portion of the traffic lanes.Abandoned vehicles
impair snow and ice removal and impact response of emergency vehicles.

Washington State Chapter American Public Works Association First Place Quality
Award for asphalt pavement construction in recognition of the high quality asphalt
pavement construction on the Duvall Avenue NE Pavement Preservation Project,
which is rated as the best city asphalt paving project in the State of Washington
during the year 2016.

residential customers. Each household may schedule one collection to take place on
its regular garbage day until December 29th at no additional charge.

this month at Coulon Park.American Construction Company will be working until the
end of December. Expect to see cranes and other heavy equipment around the island

construction.The end result of this project will be an improved habitat for salmon,
