Re:requested hearing to challenge the Finding of Violation
Attn:Donna Locher,
Pursuant to RMC 1-3-2.C.2.v and RMC 1-3-2.e.1.a; I,William L Foreman II,am requesting a
hearing to challenge the Finding of Violation(dated September 8th,2017)before the Administrator at
Renton City Hall
I had originally planned at great expense to move all the current tenants from the two Clean&Sober
houses located at 401 Pelly N,Renton WA 98057 to alternate locations. I've recently placed all the
residents on month-to-month leases and was in the process of converting a home in West Seattle and
also a 2nd home in Mountlake Terrace to accommodate the current Clean&Sober tenants. Many of
the tenants have disabilities,so it is unclear to me how they could be expected to move from the
houses in your 5-day timeframe. I think it might conflict with possible tenant landlord law violations
to evict those older gentlemen without proper notice.
Does the occupancy code apply to the two houses as one solitary unit? I have two houses on the one
lot,so if I simply move two tenants from the larger home into the smaller house to balance occupancy
(4 persons per each house)would I then be in compliance?
Lastly,once all current tenants have vacated and found suitable housing,I had hoped to focus my
attention to Housing Disabled Veterans. I'm also considering the possibility of a Battered Women's
Shelter. If the Renton code only allows 4 unrelated persons,it would be very cost prohibitive for
me to sustain those proposed public service program(s). Would the City consider a Variance?
Its for the aforementioned questions and concerns that I am requesting a formal hearing pursuant to
RMC 1-3-2.C.2.v and RMC 1-3-2.e 1.a See the enclosed as reference to the violation.

RE: WARNING OF VIOLATION
RESPONSE REQUIRED
401 Pelly Avenue North,Renton,Washington
Dear Mr.Foreman:
This letter is to clarify a few items we've discussed in past conversations and emails.
There are two houses on one parcel lot,one being 401 PeIIy Avenue North,the other being 910 North
4th Street.You have explained that there are six unrelated individuals living in the PeIIy Avenue North
house and two unrelated individuals living in the North 4th Street house. Please advise if this is not
correct.
You stated that you recently placed all the residents on month-to-month leases. Please provide a copy
of every lease in effect for the Petty Avenue North house and for the North 4th Street house.
You mentioned there are individuals with disabilities living on the property.Please clarify what
accommodations those individuals are requesting.
You also proposed moving two individuals from the Pelly Avenue North house into the North 4th Street
house so that each house contains four unrelated individuals. Please advise if this is no longer your
proposal.
You described the two houses as"clean&sober"houses. Please describe why you believe this
information to be relevant. For example,are you asserting that the houses qualify as a"Group
Home I(Rehabilitation)"land use as defined at RMC 4-11-070,a use that is not ordinarily allowed in
the houses'R-10 zoning district?
You asked whether the City would allow the two houses to be used for"housing disabled veterans"or
for a"battered women's shelter." The residential uses that are allowed in the R-10 zoning district are
listed in the table in RMC 4-2-060. The uses you have proposed might meet the requirements for an
"adult family home"or a"Group Home II(Protective Residency)"both of which can be allowed in the
1055 South Grady Way,Renton,WA 98057•rentonwa.gov EXHIBIT Lj
Mr.William Foreman

R-10 zoning district if the applicable criteria are met and if the required permits are obtained. If you
wish to pursue establishing a new or different use on the property,we recommend that you
schedule a pre-application meeting with our planning staff to discuss applicable requirements and
the permit process. Please contact me for more information.
You requested a hearing in response to the Warning of Violation issued by the City on September 8,
2017. The City's code does not provide for a hearing or other form of appeal of a Warning of Violation.
Please respond to me by October 17,2017,so that we may move forward. If I do not receive a
response by that date,the City may issue a Finding of Violation pursuant to RMC 1-3-2.C.2. Please note
that unlike a Warning of Violation,a Finding of Violation does provide for an opportunity for a hearing,
if the request for a hearing is timely and properly filed and served pursuant to RMC 1-3-2.E. Failure to
request such a hearing waives any further appeal rights.

CODE COMPLIANCE
Dear Donna Locher,
I'd like to formulate a more detailed response to the WARNING OF VIOLATION dated October 10th,2017,
but I'm typing this letter only a few hours before an airline departure. In fact,I'll be out of the country with
absolutely no cell or internet service through evening of October 19th at 8:31 PM. I'll be happy to provide more
detail upon my arrival back to the US,if needed.
In brief response to your questions:
• Yes,the two houses you mentioned are located at 401 Pelly North and 910 North 4th Street.
• Previous folks at those addresses had leases,but that has ended and no current individual at either of
those houses have tenant agreements at this time. They might be considered month-to-month tenants as
per the Seattle Tenant Landlord Laws. I believe Renton might have adopted those same tenant-landlord
month-to-month default regulations,but let me know if that is not the case.
• You have asked about my disabled tenants. I have at least two disabled veterans as well as disabled
recovering drug/alcohol addicts residing at the homes. They consider the home a safe supportive
environment that provides shelter,safe non-discriminate housing,and a perfectly clean&sober
environment. The accommodations they are requesting are simple.They want a safe environment where
they can live long term without fear of discrimination.
• Moving two individuals to balance tenancy is certainly a consideration,but I actually prefer everyone
has their own bedroom and not double up rooms.
• The houses have always been clean&sober houses,but I did not realize until your letter that clean&
sober housing was not ordinarily allowed in R-10 zoning. I originally assumed that people with
substance abuse and disabilities were protected under the fair housing act and were eligible for housing
accommodations in residential areas. I'll admit I might be confusing the RCWs with some of the local
regulations.
• I have done extensive work with the Veterans Association and the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing
for nearly 20 years. In fact, I have been given an award for going above and beyond in providing
housing to disabled and homeless Veterans in several of my homes. If needed,I can have the HUD-
VASH office write you a letter attesting to that fact.
• As you might already know, I've had conversations with the local school district to relocate tenants
currently residing at those homes to other housing due to the construction of a nearby school. In fact,I
am currently converting a West Seattle home and also purchasing another clean&sober home in Mount
Lake Terrace to help facilitate that effort. One tenant has already moved and his room has not been
backfilled.On the heels of transitioning the remaining tenants,I plan to backfill the empty bedrooms and
continue to provide low cost housing assistance for anyone in need with an emphasis on disabled
persons,veterans,and housing for the homeless. I have talked to a non-profit group in consideration of
a possible battered women's shelter,but upon further consideration I'm leaning more towards continuing
to support disabled persons with a safe non-discriminatory long term low cost living solution.
EXHIBIT
I hope this answers your questions. I hope I'm not misinterpreting the RCW codes on fair housing. If you have
more information to provide,please let me know. I'm eager to partner with the City of Renton in providing
housing for those in need.
As previously mentioned, I'll be returning to the US on evening of October 19th, 2017 and will be available
thereafter. Thank you.
Regards,
I
