Re : Proposed Restrictive Covenants - General
Securities, Inc .
Dear Gordon:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated May 19, 1972
together with the proposed "Declaration of Restrictive Covenants".
You invited our comments and they would be as follows :
a. Re : "Land Use" - We would suggest that the following
words be added at the end of said subparagraph "as provided
for by the ordinancesof the City of Renton as now existing
or as same may be hereafter amended" .
1 . In all fairness we would suggest that this type
of restriction may be unreasonable if the intent thereof is to
allow the Planning Commission or any other body_ of the City to
approve or disapprove any change of use hereafter. This may
betnduly restrictive since the prime determination by the Planning
Commission should be whether this given piece of property, or any
Other parcel of property is suitable for "business use" as the
highest and best use in this given area and in compliance with '
the City' s Comprehensive Plan. Once rezoned to business use,
a property owner should he allowed to utilize it for any purpose.
permitted by our ordinances and subject thereto. Otherwise,
a property owner would never know whether he would be permitted
to have a business on said premises which is authorized by our
code, without in each case again requesting the Planning Commission
for permission. This appears contrary to normal, nondiscriminatory
zoning procedures.
b. Re: "Development Plans" - We are wondering whether the
plans involved should also be approved by the Building and
Engineering Departments in addition to the Planning Commission
since these two departments undoubtedly also have jurisdiction
1 Copy •
over building and construction generally.
N _ :t
c. Re: Paragraph IV - (Landscaping and Bonding) : In each
gra P
of these instances , it may be advisable to allow a cash bond to
be posted instead of a regular performance bond. You should also
inquire, before any such duty is imposed on a property owner,
whether it is possible to secure a performance bond of this type
from the insurance companies in this area that usually write such
type of bonds . Our own experience has been that such companies
are usually reluctant to provide such bond because the landscaping
requirements are sometimes vague, indefinite , and difficult to
enforce. It would therefore be advisable to spell them out very
succinctly so as to minimize any subjective interpretation later
on.
d. Re: Paragraph V - (Time Period) : We would suggest that
a date be inserted regarding the proposed rezoning to be one which
may be 90 to 180 days from date or any other period you deem
suitable.
f . The last paragraph of the Covenants could possibly be
worded so that after the word "King County" the following be
added " or any other court or tribunal having jurisdiction
thereover". The words "or violation" should be added at the
end of said subparagraph after the word "breach" .
We would also consider it a good idea if such proposed restrictive
covenants be first examined and commented upon by the City Departments
prior to their 'being released to others for their comments . This
for the reason that it may be more difficult to agree on changes
especially in a case where there has been some tentative agreement
between your department and the petitioner as appare—n IY was done
in this case.
If we can beof any further assistance to you in this matter, please
advise. We remain
Very truly yours ,
Gerard M. Shellan

MEMORANDUM
DATE : June 25 , 1969
TO : PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
•
RE : PROPOSED CON.STRUC.TION- -VICINITY OF BENSON ROAD SOUTH
• AND SOUTH PUGET DRIVE
•
At its meeting of June 24 , the Board of Public Works •
reviewed the plans for a proposed medical clinic for Dr . Thomas
Maxwell submitted by Mr . Milton Stricker , architect , and an
office building designed by Johnston-Campanella-Murakami $ Co .
at the northwest corner of. Benson Road South and South Puget
Drive .
It is the recommendation of the Board of Public Works
that access on Benson Road South be eliminated. due to the
dangerous condition that exists from the heavy volume of traffic ,
existing channelization, and the difference in elevation between
the existing Benson Road South and the proposed parking areas .
It is further recommended that the owners dedicate the remaining
piece of right-of-way, as shown in red on the attached plot plan ,
to the City of Renton.

Dear Sirs:
- This is in reference to General Securities application for a zoning change
at the Northwest Corner of Puget Drive and Benson Road. One of the con-
ditions to approval imposed by the City of Renton Planning Commission is
that a performance Bond be posted for certain landscape work. This is to
advise you that we will post such a performance bond when we apply for and
before receiving the necessary final building permits.
Yours very truly,

With reference to the minutes of the meeting of May 10 , 1972,
Scholes requested that his comments in the first paragraph of
; ,}; , ' page 6 be amended to show that he opposed the granting of the
General Securities rezone for the following reasons:
l•: -"' '=.i. 1. There was not a reversionary clause in.. the rezone
which he felt necessary to protect adjacent. property
°i' owners in the event proposed construction was not
completed. It was also felt the clause should be
included because the rezone might be considered
spot zoning
2.. There was not adequate consideration, in his opinion,
'•,':;a, of a buffer zone to protect adjacent northerly owner.
3 Proposed use, in his opinion, was not the highest
"" and best use in a commercial zone.
As there were no other additions or corrections to the minutes
of the meeting of May 10, 1972, the Chairman declared them
approved as corrected by Scholes .

Re : Proposed Restrictive Covenants - General
Securities , Inc .,
Dear Gordon:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated May 19, 1972
together with the proposed "Declaration of Restrictive Covenants" .
You invited our comments and they would be as follows :
a. Re : "Land Use" - We would suggest that the following
words be added at the end -of said subparagraph "as provided'
for by the ordinancesof the City of Renton as now existing
or as same may be hereafter amended" .
1. In all fairness we would suggest that this type
of restriction may be unreasonable if the intent thereof is to
allow the Planning Commission or any other body of the City to
approve or disapprove any change of use hereafter . This may
betnduly restrictive since the prime determination by the Planning
Commission ' should be whether this given piece of property, or any
other parcel of property is suitable for "business use" as the
highest and best use in this given area and in compliancew,ith
the City' s ' Comprehensive Plan. Once rezoned to business use,
a property owner should be allowed to utilize it for any purpose '
permitted by our ordinances and subject thereto . Otherwise,
a property owner would never know whether he would be permitted'
to have a business on said premises which is authorized by our
code, without in each case again requesting the Planning Commission
; .. for permission. This appears contrary to normal, nondiscriminatory
zoning procedures .
b. Re: "Development Plans" - We are wondering whether the
plans involved should also be' approved by the Building and
Engineering Departments in addition to the Planning Commission
since these two departments undoubtedly also have jurisdiction
over building and- construction generally. '
•
c. Re : Paragraph IV - (Landscaping and Bonding) : In each
• of these instances , it may be advisable to allow a cash bond to
', be posted instead of a regular, performance bond. You should also
inquire, before any such duty is imposed on a property owner; ,
whether it is possible to secure a performance bond of this type
from the insurance companies in this area that usually write such
type of bonds . Our own experience has been that such companies
are usually reluctant to provide such bond because the landscaping
requirements are sometimes vague, indefinite, and difficult to
enforce . It would therefore be advisable to spell them out very
succinctly so as to minimize any subjective interpretation later
on.
d. 'Re: Paragraph V - (Time Period) : We would suggest that
a date be inserted regarding the proposed • rezoning to be one which
may be 90 to 180 days from date or any other period you deem
suitable .
• f. The last paragraph of the Covenants could possibly ' be
worded so that after the word "King County" the following be
added " or any other::court or tribunal having jurisdiction
therefver" . The words "or violation" should be added at the
• . end of said subparagraph after the word "breach" .
We would also consider it a good idea . if such proposed restrictive
covenants be first examined' and commented upon by the City Departments
prior to their being released to others for their comments . This
for the reason that it may be more difficult to agree on changes
especially in a case where there has been some tentative agreement
. between your department and the petitioner as apparently was done
• in this case .
• If. we can beof any further assistance to you in this matter, please
. advise. We remain /)
Very truly yours ,
•

A. MAY 8 REQUEST BY SHAUGHNESSY & COMPANY, INC . , TO CONNECT
RESIDENCE TO RENTON SEWER LINE, 13026 80TH AVENUE SOUTH, KING COUNTY--.
Council Referral of 5/15/72
The Board reviewed Frank H. Shaughnessy ' s May 8 letter requesting
that consideration be given to extending sewer service to a residence
at 13026 80th Avenue South from a City of Renton sewer line
approximately one block south of this location. (The City ' s line
was originally extended into this area to provide service to Earlington
Elementary School. ) Mr. Wilson had reviewed the request prior to the
meeting. As a result of his review, he reported that it would be
feasible to extend the sewer line northerly to serve the residence.
After some discussion, it was moved by ZED BENNETT, seconded by JACK
WILSON, that the Board of Public Works transmit a report to the
City Council indicating that extension of the City 's sewer line to
serve 13026 80th Avenue South would be a feasible extension since
there are adequate facilities to provide this service, although the
question of whether to serve an area outside the city limits of
Renton would be a policy determination to be made by the City Council.
MOTION CARRIED.
B. REFERRALS FROM MAY 22 COUNCIL MEETING
1) CLOSURE OF PIPELINE RIGHT-OF-WAY
2) EXCESSIVE SPEED OF VEHICLES ON RENTON HILL
3) NUMBER AND SPEED OF TRAINS AT FOOT OF RENTON HILL
The Board requested that Traffic Engineering provide background
information (traffic counts, etc. ) for consideration of these items
at the May 30 meeting of the Board of Public Works .
5. REFERRALS FROM DEPARTMENTS
GENERAL SECURITIES, INC . , REQUEST FOR REZONE FROM R-3 TO
B-l; PROPERTY LOCATED ON NORTHWEST CORNER OF SOUTH PUGET DRIVE AND
BENSON ROAD SOUTH
The Planning Commission, as part of its investigation of the above-
referenced rezone application, requested review by the Board of Public
Works. of the access from the Benson Highway. This request was made
primarily because Doctor Maxwell, whose property is located to the
north, was denied access to Benson at the time of his special permit
application due to a recommendation by the Board of Public Works .
The Board members reviewed the site development plan and proposed
access , and Mr. Ericksen provided additional background information.
The site is planned to be developed by Mobile Oil Corporation for a
gas station facility. The proposed access would provide ingress on
1 the north ramp and egress on the south from Benson. Mr. Wilson
reported that the Traffic Engineer reviewed the plan and feels it
would be a workable scheme. However, it was Mr. Wilson ' s recommendation
that access from Benson be allowed for the southbound movement only.
In addition, it was suggested that the south driveway should accordingly
be oriented more toward southbound traffic. The Board agreed that
because of elevation and access to the property, there is no
comparison between the two adjacent parcels and the Maxwell denial
of access from Benson was a valid decision.
Following discussion, it was moved by JACK WILSON, seconded by
BARNEY RUPPERT, that the Board of Public Works recommend to the

Mr. Wilson indicated that a written report will be presented on May 30 .
B. BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS RULES AND BYLAWS
The Chairman submitted a copy of the policies adopted by the City
of Seattle Board of Public Works and indicated that he would review
the pertinent areas and forward copies to the Board members . In
reviewing a draft of an ordinance establishing Renton' s Board of
Public Works, it was agreed that reference to specific ordinances
should be eliminated wherever possible. In addition, the Board felt
that any new ordinance should include reference to public works
contract review, opening of bids , and Capital Improvement Program.

REZONE APPLICATION
* (b) GENERAL SECURITIES INC. , Appl. No. R-693-72; rezone from
R-3 to B-1; property, located on northwest corner of Benson
Road S. and S. Puget Drive
The Chairman opened the public hearing on this item, noting
it had been continued from the meeting of April 26 . A study
session was held on Wednesday, May 3, attended by Planning
Commissioners as well as interested, parties both for and against
the rezone. The Planning Director was asked to summarize dis-
cussion held at the study session and advise of any new infor-
mation that may have developed during the past week.
The Planning Director reviewed discussion at the study session
and advised that subsequent meetings were held with Dr. Thomas
Maxwell, adjacent property owner, and with representatives of
Mobil. Oil Corporation. The revised grading and landscape plans
were displayed. The applicant desires to retain the northern-
most access on 'Benson Road as he feels it to be essential to
operation of the proposed facility. The applicant proposes
to' fill the property so that the sidewalk on Benson will be
at the same grade as the centerline of Benson. In relation-
ship to the parking lot of the medical clinic abutting, it
was noted subject site will vary in grade from eight to six-
teen feet above the level of said parking lot. In order to
permit the filling as proposed, a rockery will be installed
along the northerly property line approximately four feet high
with a landscaped area behind the rockery of approximately
twenty feet. The landscape plan has been revised to include
recommendations of the Planning Department' s landscape
architect.
With reference to the two driveways proposed from Benson to
' subject site, if approved it is recommended that the northern-
most driveway be used for ingress only; the- southerly driveway
for egress only--each access to accommodate southbound traffic
only,. Installation of "C" curbing may be necessary to eliminate
left turns on Benson from the proposed service station into the
northbound traffic lanes.
The Planning Director displayed a plan and photograph submitted
by the applicant depicting the type of sign to be installed.
The location of the sign is shown in the center of the southern-
most island. In the interests of traffic safety and esthetics,,
the location of the sign should be revised to the northerly '
edge of the' landscaped island. In addition, the black and white
wrap-around reader board sign located midway on the sign pole
indicating current gasoline prices should be eliminated.
Lyman Houk of the Engineering Department' discussed the revised
grading plan and matters of drainage away from properties and
onto public streets, location of catch basins, determination
of sidewalk grade. Some adjustments may be required during
construction, but these are on-site problems handled at the
time of submission of building and 'development plans .

Renton Planning Commission
Meeting May 10, 1972
Minutes - Page 4
Humble inquired as to whether a letter had been received from
the Board of Public Works concerning its opinion of the proposed
Benson accesses. The Planning Director replied that the Board
Chairman as well as the Engineering Director are out of town
and there has been no Board meeting due to their absence. The
next meeting of the Board will be on May 16; therefore, the
staff was unable to get the recommendation requested. Humble
suggested that the Board' s letter regarding this matter be
directed to the City Council so that it may be reviewed by
Council with its consideration of the Planning Commission action
• on subject application.
Scholes inquired regarding traffic counts, both present and
projected. The Planning Director reviewed general growth
patterns and traffic flow, including projections for the
area.
The Planning Director stated that at the request of the Planning
Commission, a preliminary draft of a declaration of restrictive
covenants was prepared. Copies of this draft have been furnished
Mr. Gordon Clinton, attorney representing the applicant, and all
Commission members. The covenants provide that all uses and
changes in land use shall be subject to review and approval of
the Planning Commission; development shall be in accord with
plans approved by the Planning. Commission relative to at least
the following items: buildings or other structures, height of
structures, filling and grading, landscaping, and access; the
location of buildings and structures shall be no closer than
twenty feet to any property line; provision for the furnishing
of a performance bond equal to a minimum of 150% of the cost
of both installation of approved landscaping and maintenance
thereof for a three-year period; and providing that the
covenants shall run with the land and expire on December 1, 2020 .
The, Chairman noted that a letter from Mr. Roger Lewis , attorney
representing the adjacent property owner Dr. Thomas Maxwell,
had been sent to all Commission members with copies to the
Planning Director and Mr. Gordon Clinton. In this letter,
Mr. Lewis specifically requested that there be included in
the Commission' s recommendation to the City Council a require-
ment that the B-1 zone be limited to the use and design
specified in the plans submitted and that any change in use
be subject to review and approval of the Commission. Dr. Max-
) well strongly objects to the northernmost proposed access on
Benson Highway but has no objection to the southernmost access
on Benson or the two proposed on Puget Drive. The Chairman
• noted that most of Mr. Lewis' points were covered in the draft
of covenants reviewed.
Ross noted that previously access from Benson had been denied
both Dr. Maxwell and the firm of Johnston-Campanella. The
Planning Director noted that with relationship to ingress and
egress, it is always desirable to minimize the number of drive-
ways on highly traveled facilities. The previous concern
regarding the proposed Johnston-Campanella development was due
to the difference in grade between the property and the road.
In subject item under discussion, the applicant will fill the
property, which means that the grade situation has changed.
Also, the proposed development is for a service station; the
Johnston-Campanella development concerned an office building
with required parking stalls. The existing difference in
grade made access from Benson at the point now proposed
questionable; thusly, the Board of Public Works felt at that
time that access should .be denied.
Renton Planning Commission
Meeting May 10, 1972
Minutes - Page 5
Comments from the applicant were invited. Mr. Gordon Clinton,
representing the applicant, stated he had reviewed the draft
of covenants and felt there was no problem with the conditions
proposed. He did suggest, however, that a paragraph be
inserted to the effect that the restrictive covenants would be -
null and void if subject property were not zoned by the City
of Renton to the B-1 District. Other than this suggestion,
Mr. Clinton stated that his client had no objections to the
covenants as prepared.
• 1 Comments were invited from Mr. Roger Lewis , representing Dr.
Maxwell. Mr. Lewis stated that noise and esthetics are the
primary concern and suggested the covenants state that the
landscaping buffer should be maintained in original or
reasonable equivalent condition as shown on the approved
1 landscape plan for the life of the covenants.
After discussion with his client, Mr. Clinton stated they could
live with such requirement.
The Chairman stated that the Commission tried to provide a
buffer between the properties and feels that such buffer
should be provided for the reasonable life of the two busi-
nesses. As the applicant has indicated agreement to such
1 requirement, the covenants will be rewritten to provide that
landscaping along the northerly portion of subject property
f shall be maintained for the life of the covenants.
Further comments were invited. Mr. Clinton thanked the Commis-
sion for its ample and exhaustive efforts in this matter.
t
Dr. Thomas Maxwell stated he felt the Planning Commission had
exceeded itself in studying the entire problem and affording
both parties involved every possible consideration.
There were further comments regarding minor revisions to the
access design on Benson and sign relocation to be handled at
1 the staff level. Whereupon, it was MOVED BY MOLA, SECONDED
BY DENZER, THAT THE HEARING BE CLOSED. MOTION CARRIED.
ACTION:
MOVED BY MOLA , SECONDED BY DENZER, THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION
RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF `THE GENERAL SECURITIES
APPLICATION FOR REZONE FROM R-3 TO B-1 WITH RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
AS REVISED IN THE HEARING DISCUSSION AND SUBJECT TO SIGN RELOCA-
TION, LANDSCAPE REVISION AND ACCESS LIMITATION ON BENSON ROAD
AS FOLLOWS: NORTHERNMOST ACCESS, INGRESS ONLY; SOUTHERNMOST
ACCESS, EGRESS ONLY. THE REZONE REQUEST IS IN AGREEMENT WITH
THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN.
Discussion on the motion ensued. Seymour stated that voting
1 on the motion involves a difficult decision in light of what
will happen, and that the Planning Commission should do the
best it can working within the framework of its jurisdiction.
{ Seymour further stated she would vote against the motion for
1 the following reasons: incompatibility of the use proposed
with surrounding area; proposed facility is not necessary due
to four other service stations located nearby within one mile;
feels personal responsibility as a Commissioner to vote for
the highest and best use and for good planning in view of
Renton's continuing growth. Seymour also stated she feels
present application constitutes spot zoning; that people in
downtown Renton found themselves living in areas encroached
! upon by commercial uses and she feels the same situation may
occur in this area; that the proposed rezone is inconsistent
with good planning and is irresponsible.

Scholes stated he had mentioned during work session that a
clause be included in the restrictive covenants reverting the
zoning to R-3 should the proposed development not occur. He
noted further that other Commissioners and the Planning Director
felt that reversionary clauses were unworkable. Scholes stated
that since no reversionary clause was written into the covenants
he would vote against the rezone since considerable time was
spent. in working out the best possible plan for protection of
adjacent property owner. If the land is zoned B-1 and the
service station proposed with approved plan and landscaping
not constructed, there would be no protection for adjoining
property owner and his land values. Reference was made to the
Transamerica property across the street and the restrictive
covenants filed with that property.
On the motion, roll call vote was requested and taken with the
following result:
•
Denzer - aye
Humble - aye
Mola - aye
Moritz - aye
Ross - aye
Scholes - no
Seymour - no
MOTION CARRIED.
The meeting was recessed at 10 :15 p.m. and reconvened at 10 : 30 p.m.
Roll call was taken; all Commissioners previously listed responding
present.

Re : Application of General Securities , Inc .
for re-zone to B-1 for property located
on N .W. corner of intersection of Benson
Road South and Puget Drive South
Gentlemen:
This letter is written in anticipation of the continuation
of the public hearing on General Securities , Inc . application •
for re-zone slated for May 10 , 1972 .
I am advised by Dr . Maxwell that he has been in contact
with the planning staff and that some of the details of landscaping
and set-back to be recommended by staff have been covered with
Dr. Maxwell and generally appear to be acceptable to him.
It is our . understanding that any formal recommendation to
the council will, of course , be based upon a final form of
acceptable plans including grading , building and landscape plans .
The subjects for proposed covenants furnished to the
Planning Commission by Attorney Clinton prior to the study session
on May 3 are generally acceptable in form; and it is understood
that final text of the covenants would be prepared by the staff
and by the city attorney; and we would appreciate the opportunity
to review and comment on the final form.
On Dr . Maxwell 's behalf, I specifically request that there
be included in the Commission 's recommendations to the City
Council a requirement that the B-1 zone be limited to the use
and design specified in the plans and that there be a requirement
that any change of use be conditioned upon the matter going back
to the Planning Commission for approval of the change in use .
Dr. Maxwell 's primary concern is that the covenants contain a
record , in a manner that will be clear and distinguishable at any

time in the future, reflecting that the change in comprehensive
plan was effected by the council because the property in question,
because of 'its peculiar location and make-up could not be
developed within the uses 'anticipated by .high density residential
designation and that 'the council found , specifically, that a
gasoline service station of the self-service type was a desirable
. , use which could be made compatible with surrounding uses . There
has been no indication in the findings c.i the Planning Commission
or in the deliberations of the City Council indicating that either
body would have approved any of the heavier or more intense
uses that are. allowed generally under B-1 zoning; and Dr . Maxwell
urges that as 'a matter of fairness and reasonable accommodation
of his investment and his reliance on the original comprehensive
plan, there must be preserved in the record of this re-zone the
obvious reliance of commission and council on the representations
of the present land owner that actual use would be the relatively
innocuous one of a self-service station; and that there be
preserved for the future the requirement that any change of use
within B-1 zoning go back to the Planning Commission ; and it
should be clear to any future commission that -Ma.xwell 's situation
must be considered with reference to noise and esthetics and
that those considerations must be a part of the limitations on
any future .use which is otherwise acceptable under B-i zoning.
Dr. Maxwell has made specific points to the Planning;
Commission staff with reference to the noz'thermost- proposed
access on Benson Highway. This letter is by way of formal.
request that that particular access be denied . Dr . Maxwel l has
no objection to the other access from Benson Highway or the two
proposed access routes to Puget Drive .
We have not attempted in this letter to specify the exact
text of recommendation to the council or of restrictive covenants
to encumber this property . We feel rather 'that it would be
proper to have the commission resolve ,,Ih ?ther the requested
limitations would be approved in principal . If they are, then
I would be delighted to furnish requested form and text for
review the same as drafted by the staff and the city attorney . .
We plan to be present at the continuation of public hearing
on May 10 .

10 :00 a.m. meeting with Dr. and Mrs. Maxwell
At this mornings meeting Dr. and Mrs. Maxwell made the
following recruests : .
1 . Elimination of the Northeast driveway.
2 . Extension of the North buffer area between
the station and the clinic from 20' to 40 '
with dense landscaping including portugese
laurel and cedrus deodoa.
3. Sign to, be non rotating with limited illumi-
nation and height.
4 . Retaining wall adjacent the Maxwell ' s property
to be exposed aggregate finish- and set back
1' from property line with a river cobble
filled trench to allow for drainage.
5. Proper filling, compacting and trenching
within the northern buffer area to prevent
water runoff and soil erosion onto Dr. Maxwell 's
property.
Dr. Maxwell was quite adamant about the elimination of
the Northeast driveway since his audio room, where hearing
tests are given, is immediately adjacent to the proposal
driveway. That driveway along with ,the Northwest driveway
could become a shortcut route. between Benson Road and
Puget Drive. He was also concerned about the possiblity,
of .cars .jumping the north curb and rolling down the hill
onto his property. We'. told him that we would request
a one foot curb or other means of preventing such accidents.

Meeting April 26 , 1972
Minutes - Page 4
(c) GENERAL SECURITIES INC. , Appl. No. R-693-72; rezone from
R-3 to B-1; property located on northwest corner of Benson
Road S. and S. Puget Drive
The Chairman described the application and noted this property
was recently before the Planning Commission with reference to
request for change in the land use plan.
The Assistant Planning Director pointed out property location,
displayed site plan, proposed development plan and landscaping
plan submitted by the applicant. There is approximately 32 , 000
square feet in the site; proposed use is for a service station.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates commercial use for
the site . Slides were shown.
Commission comments were invited. Scholes asked if an analysis
from the Traffic Engineering Department regarding access and
egress to this property was available. The Assistant Planning
Director stated that such an analysis was not available at this
time.
Ross asked if the applicant had submitted restrictive covenants
tying the proposed service station development plan to the
property should the rezone be granted , or would the applicant
be allowed to construct anything allowable in the B-1 zone re-
gardless of the plan submitted. The Assistant Planning
Director stated the applicant has submitted no covenants up
to this time, noting that the applicant' s representative had
previously indicated willingness to do so.
Seymour asked about estimated future traffic counts with
reference to the relocation of SR-515 . The Assistant Planning
Director replied that the relocation of Benson Road (SR-515)
may result in a decrease of traffic on Benson; however, traffic
volume on Puget Drive should maintain its present level.
Seymour noted presence of other gas stations in close proximity
to subject site and possibility of failure of proposed gas
station resulting in abandoned, unmaintained eyesore. Particu-
lar concern was expressed by Seymour regarding compatibility of
proposed use with existing medical complex adjacent to the north
and residential uses surrounding.
It was noted by Scholes that restrictive covenants had been
imposed on business zoned property across the street from sub-
ject site requiring Planning Commission approval of any devel-
opment.
Audience comments were invited. Mr. Gordon Clinton, attorney
representing the applicant, spoke on behalf of the application
for rezone. Mr. Clinton noted willingness on part of the appli-
cant to comply with whatever development controls the Planning
Commission determines desirable in terms of landscaping and
site plans in order to achieve an attractive development.
Mr. C. H. Wuesthoff , Real Estate Representative for Mobil Oil
Corporation, stated the proposed service station would be a
self-service type. With reference to access and egress , he
noted that left turns from Puget or Benson into the proposed
service station could be controlled by the city' s Traffic
Engineering Department should they prove to be a problem.
He further noted that Mobil Oil Company intends to fill the
property to a level which would be 15 to 18 feet above the
level of the clinic parking lot in order to provide access
from Benson.
Renton Planning Commission
Meeting April 26 , 1972
Minutes - Page 5
4 Mr. Roger Lewis , attorney representing Dr. Thomas Maxwell ,
property owner immediately adjacent to subject site, stated
that the doctor would have to live with the proposed develop-
ment but was most concerned about the landscaping buffer to
protect his building from detrimental effects generated by the
service station operation.
The Planning Director joined the meeting at this time, having
completed his other meeting on the Northeast Renton Annexation.
Upon query by Scholes, Dr. Maxwell stated he was not so much
concerned with the noise factor generated by the service sta-
tion, particularly in view of the proposed self-service type,
as with the esthetic considerations . Dr. Maxwell stated further
that had he known the city would grant commercial use on subject
site he probably would not have developed his clinic in its
present location.
The landscaping plan presented by the applicant was reviewed
in detail . It was noted that the plan called for a twenty-
foot planted area on the northerly boundary of the property
with trees to be installed from eight to ten feet in height.
Other trees and landscaping around the perimeter of the site
were also called out on the plan.
Considerable discussion ensued among Commission members and
the gentlemen representing the applicant concerning the pro-
posed development, traffic circulation pattern, landscaping,
development controls, property maintenance, and related items ,
and it was the consensus of the Commission that further study
was necessary to insure protection of surrounding properties .
It was MOVED BY ROSS , SECONDED BY SCHOLES , THAT THE GENERAL
SECURITIES REZONE HEARING BE CONTINUED TO THE MEETING OF
MAY 10 , 1972; THAT THE MATTER BE REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE
OF THE WHOLE FOR FURTHER STUDY; AND THAT THE APPLICANT AND
ALL INTERESTED PARTIES BE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STUDY
SESSION TO BE HELD BY THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
On the question roll call vote was requested and taken with
the following result:
Denzer - no
Humble - no
Mola - yes
Ross - yes
Scholes - yes
Seymour - yes
Yankeh - yes
MOTION CARRIED.
The Chairman announced that the study session regarding the
General Securities matter would be held on Wednesday, May 3 ,
1972 , at 7 : 30 p.m.
(d) MARGULLIS, LEON, Appl. No. R-694-72 ; rezone from G to
R-2; property located west side of Talbot Road S. , approxi-
mately 650 feet south of S. 43rd Street
The Chairman described the application. The Assistant Planning
Director pointed out property location and described surround-
ing uses , noting the request is in agreement with the Compre-
hensive Land Use Plan. Slides of the property were shown,
together with blow-ups of the plot plan and vicinity map of
the site.
Renton Planning Commission
Meeting April 12 , 1972
Minutes - Page 2
(b) UNBEDACHT, IVAN, Appl. No. R-692-72; rezone from G-9600
to P-1; property located north of Valley General Hospital
between freeway and Talbot Rd. S.
The Planning Director noted that at the time of rezone of the
hospital property, the south 85 feet of subject property had
inadvertently been rezoned to P-1 due to an error in the legal
description furnished by the Hospital District. The applicant
is requesting P-1 zoning for his entire property, the intent
being to convert the existing residence to medical offices.
The parcel encompasses over 7h acres . The Planning Commission
is requested to review the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designa-
tion in this area to determine whether the application for
rezone is valid or if the applicant should initially request
a change to the land use plan.
(c) GENERAL SECURITIES INC. , Appl. No. R-693-72; rezone from
R-3 to B-1; property located on northwest corner of Benson
Road S. and S. Puget Drive
The Chairman noted this property was recently before the
Planning Commission as a request for change to the Comprehen-
sive Land Use Plan designation from high density multi-family
residential to commercial. After study and public hearing,
the Planning Commission voted unanimously to deny the request.
The Planning Commission decision was appealed to the City
Council. Following its public hearing, the City Council over-
turned the Planning Commission decision and granted the land
use plan change as requested. Present application for business
zoning is to permit construction of a service station on the
d property.
(d) MARGULLIS, LEON, Aptpl. No. R-694-72; rezone from G to R-2;
property located west side of Talbot Road S. , approximately
650 feet south of S. 43rd Street
The Planning Director noted this parcel, , in conjunction with
two parcels located immediately to the north, came before the
Planning Commission in May of 1968 as a rezone application.
During the course of the Planning Commission' s deliberations
on the application the matter of dedication of property for
additional right-of-way on Talbot Road was discussed. Two of
the applicants concerned deeded the property for right-of-way
as requested; present applicant withdrew his request for rezone
at that time.
SITE PLAN APPROVAL APPLICATION

(e) MORTENSON, GEO. J. , Appl. No. SA-691-72 ; site plan approval
for warehouse in M-P zone; property located on Lind Avenue SW
between SW Grady Way and SW 7th Street, Earlinton Industrial
Park
The Planning Director noted that the Planning Commission had
considered this matter in October of 1971 and after several
problems had been resolved the application was approved. It
was further noted that at that time the request was for an
addition to an existing building. Subsequently, problems
developed and the applicant now wishes to construct a separate
building on subject property.
