He discussed the landscaping which will be put in and stated that the applicant is working with the staff landscape architect at the present time. Mr. Ericksen stated that staff is recommending approval subject to posting of a bond for installation and maintenance of landscaping and an approved landscape plan . Commission comments were invited . Seymour questioned if the 15 parking spaces more than required were necessary at this time , or could the area be landscaped instead . Mr. Ericksen said it would be conceivable that the parking on the south could be eliminated and put into landscaping . The Chairman noted that one parking space every 50-feet or so could be taken out and the area landscaped . Mola suggested a turn- around on the east side of the south parking lot . The Chairman asked for audience comments . None were made . SCHOLES MOVED THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED , SECONDED BY MOLA. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY .

W. 7th St . near Seneca Ave . S . W. , Earlington Industrial Park . Chairman Teegarden read a letter dated July 31 , 1973 , from Dave Benoliel of the Morris Piha Company requesting that the application of Buffalo Sanitary Wipers Company be withdrawn from the agenda as they have decided not to proceed with building plans in Earlington Park at this time . D, HIGHLANDS COMMUNITY CHURCH ; Appl . No . SA-738-73 ; site approval for an addition to provide space for religious education and recreation in an R-1 zone ; property located on Kirkland Ave . N . E . between N . E . 9th and N . E . 10th Streets . Chairman Teegarden presented the application , and the Planning Director described it in detail and pointed out the property location . The request involves a site of approximately 2-2 acres in an R-1 zone . The Comprehensive Plan , however , indi - cates the area as a future medium-density multiple use , and the property to the west is zoned B-1 . There is a public right-of-way along the west side of the property , and a sig- nificant change in elevation from the lower to the upper por- tion of the property. The property to the north is zoned R-3 , and the property to the east and south is R-1 . The Planning Director noted there is no proposed expansion of the existing sanctuary . The proposed addition would require Renton Planning Commission Meeting August 1 , 1973 Minutes - Page 4 93 additional parking spaces and the plan does meet the requirements of the Parking and Loading Ordinance . He stated that applicant will provide landscaping along all abutting public.. right-of-ways , which requires. a minimum of 5 feet within the property lines . Staff is ecommend- ing a change in the parking proposed on the upper parking lot at the entrance to the sanctuary for safety reasons . There would have to be some changes to the landscape plan of a minor nature . With those exceptions noted in the staff report of August 1st , the plan does meet the require- ments of the Zoning Ordinance and the Parking and Loading Ordinance . Lyman Houk , of the Public Works Department , explained the deed restrictions on this property ( in regard to mineral resources ) and the fact that when the property was turned over to the City they assumed the repair and maintenance of the water system, sewer system , etc . , as well as the streets themselves . Discussion ensued as to whether applicant is proposing to landscape the northern side of the property. Mr. Ericksen replied he did not think it was their intent to do so . In reply to a question by Seymour , he stated he did not think the landscaping requirement of the Parking and Loading Ordinance could be applied retroactively to the existing development (since there was no landscape requirement at the time it was developed ) , but would only apply to the portion to be newly developed. Commissioner Ross arrived at 9 :00 p .m. Discussion then followed on the possibility of the vacation of Jefferson Avenue to the west of subject property , and Lyman Houk explained the procedures which would be involved . Seymour questioned if off-site improvements would be re- quired , and the Planning Director stated in his opinion it might be more appropriate to put in additional land- scaping rather than off-site improvements on the west property line , and he felt it might be feasible for the church to request that the off-site improvements requirement be waived in view of existing improvements . Slides of the property were shown , as well as the surround- ing uses and the proposed plans . Mr. Ericksen pointed out that it would be a two-story structure from the ground level (the lowest level ) , and would probably be about 32 plus feet in height. He also showed the south eleva- tion view in relation to the existing church structure . Chairman Teegarden asked for comments from a representa- tive of the church . Mr. John Nason , 11807 S . E . 192nd St . , stated he had been working with the church in coordinating the design , and that they had gone to the flat roof because of the height problem. From the mean grade , he noted , they would be within the 35 foot limit. Mr. Ericksen said the mean grade level would probably be taken on the east ele- vation . Mr. Nason stated this structure is being stepped down one level from the existing building , and the top of of this structure will be 10-ft . below the existing building . The question of landscaping the north side of the property was discussed , and Chairman felt if the landscaping and parking areas were defined as indicated on the drawing it would be a much better situation both from a traffic and appearance standpoint. eMORRIS PIMA COMPANY • REALTORS Investment Properties/Property Management July 31, 1973 City of Renton Planning Commission City Hall Renton, Washington 98055 RE: Buffalo Sanitary Wipers Company Application No.SA 742-73 Gentlemen: I would like to request that you withdraw the above referenced site approval application from your agenda.
