The Chairman inquired if there were any comments from the aud-
ience . There being none , the Chairman declared, the hearing closed.
It was then moved by Denzer, seconded by Peretti , to recommend to the

construct an addition to an „existing building on , Lots 15 and 16 ,

Committee report : Recommended denial as this would reduce the
amount of parking space available in the C. B. D.
Director' s report : Recommend approval provided the applicant
discontinues storage display of boats in the parking area and pay
into the off= street parking fund the amount required by ordinance ,
or enter into an agreement to- participate in any LID for the pro-
vision of parking facilities which would benefit the property.
The Chairman then invited comments from the Applicant. Mr.
Wheeler, speaking on behalf of the property owner, indicated a
willingness to consider reducing the storage area on the second
story of the building to compensate for the loss of existing park-
ing by the building addition . Mr. Wheeler also expressed his be-
lief that adequate parking facilities exist for the building and
that other parking at the Safeway Parking lot , Tradewell , and the
Peoples Bank is more than adequate for the need and that parking
in the store ' s parking lot is most generally available and has
been for many years.
Mr. Denzer stated that parking in the downtown area is crit-
ical and that the granting of a variance would be contrary to the
purpose' and intent of the 701 Program.
Again speaking on the subject Mr. Wheeler indicated that the
tenant is a stable tenant in a good location , desires to remain ,
but must have opportunity to expand to meet the heeds of his
business. After further discussion and rebuttal the hearing was
declared closed , and it *as then moved by Peretti , seconded by
Racanello, to recommend to the Council the aclo ion of the Diree-
tor° s report . ____

Members of the City Council
Gentlemen:
At the request of Mr. Charles Shane a review
has been made of the facts and circumstances re-
garding the zoning of properties owned by him ly-
ing between the westerly boundary of Monterey
Terrace and the easterly boundary of the Freeway.
The following facts were determined by investiga-
tion of the circumstances.
a. The property as described in Ordinance
No'. 1522 ,adopted by the City Council on the 2nd
day of August, 1955 , was reclassified from resi-
dential use RS to B-1 , Business Use District.
b. The property following reclassification
was used for business purposes including the I
storage of, materials and the operation of an ice .
house.
c . Business use classification was subse-
quently removed at an unknown point in time
prior to 1961 . This action probably followed
the acquisition by the State Highway of that
portion being used for business.f
d. The then existing provision of the or-
dinance providing for reversion of zoning to
original status if not used would not have been k
applicable if the property was used for business
purposes at the time of zoning or subsequent to. t
After careful consideration and determination
that the above facts are true , the zoning map was cor-
rec.ted. on May 19 to reflect the proper zoning class-
ification on the property described in Ordinance f
No. 1522 , as noted earlier.

RENTON PLANNING COMMISSION
MEETING NOVEMBER 25 , 1964.
Members present: Doug Felker , James Denzer, John Racanello, Wes Busch,
Dr. Baird Bardarson, Louis Pcretti , Dayle Garrison , Clark Teegarden.
Ex -officio member Jack Wilson. Gerald Cordell was excused.
Staff present: Planning Director David Jensen.
Others present : Councilman Henry Schellert.
It was moved by Racanello , seconded by Busch, to approve the Min-
utes of October 28 . Motion carried.
HEARINGS :
to CLARKE BROTHERS , APPL. NO. R-214®64 , from R®2 to Bml, of property
located on 3rd Place North between Marion Street and the alley.
Director' s re ort:
A review of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates this
area as suitable for multiple residential uses. However, other
properties in the immediate vicinity are presently zoned for busi-
ness or are used for industrial or business purposes. If a rezone
is deemed desirable by the Commission, it is recommended that the
Comprehensive Plan be amended to indicate commercial use for the
area lying north of Marion Street and East of Factory Street north
to the industrial district.
Mr. Denzer stated that this is an area which was left after the
State Highway constructed Third Place North. He felt that business
zoning would be compatible with other uses in the area.
Councilman Schellert commented that in regard to the south side
of Marion to 3rd North the use seems to be more adaptable to Business
or Light industrial. The north side is built up with better homes ,
but he felt that an appraisal of the entire area should be made
with a view to changing the land use map.
After discussion, it was moved by Peretti, seconded by Denzer ,
that the area west of Third Place North and east of Factory Street
and north of 3rd Avenue North be changed to Business Use and that
the area east of 3rd Place North north to 4th Avenue North and west
of the Railroad tracks be changed to Light Industrial use on the
Land Use Map, and further, that these recommendations be set up
for hearing on December 23 . Motion carried.
Relative to the zoning of this area, Chairman Felker asked the
Planning Director to get in touch with the Applicant to determine
if he is favorable to the change from B-1 to L=1 zoning.
2. ST MATHEWS LUTHERAN CHURCH, FRED CALLEN AND JAMES WEED, APPL. NO.
R-215-64 , of Lots 5 and 6 , Weed' s View Tracts from R-1 to B=1.
Director' s report:
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates the suitability
of this area for residential purposes. To avoid the down-grading
of this general district by the establishment and encouragment of
a strip zone, it is recommended that this property be reclassified
for Multiple Residential purposes only. This will not be in con-
flict with nor affect the status of existing business or residen-
tial uses. If this proposal is deemed desirable by the Commission
it will be necessary to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Such an amendment would be contrary to the stated objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan text.
Mr. Jensen showed the subject area on the map. Reviewing the
pertinent information and background on this matter, he stated that
an ordinance was written reclassifying several pieces of property,
which included the Callen and Weed properties and some other properties

Commission and that the matter be referred to the LAW AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE . Carried.

Investigation Seminar to be held in Portland, Oregon May 17 through May 21, funds
available from the Officers' Training Account No. 502. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by
Dahiquist, to concur in the recommendation of the Mayor. Carried.
Mayor Custer's letter was read presenting a proposed "Memorandum of Understanding" between
the Highway Commission of the State of Washington and Municipalities not financially
participating in the Puget Sound Regional Transportation Planning Program. The Mayor
noted that it was his understanding that in order to receive Federal financial aid for
the construction of highways in our area, it will be necessary to approve this memorandum.
Mayor Custer suggested that the document be referred to the Law and Ordinance Committee
and/or the Street and Alley Committee for recommendation to the Council. Following the
reading of this letter, Mayor Custer explained that the City is being asked to recognize
the Puget Sound Regional Transportation Study and that it is being made a requirement for
Federal financial assistance. Moved by Morris, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the
recommendation of the Mayor and refer this matter to the LAW AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE and
the STREET AND ALLEY COMMITTEE. Carried.
A letter from Mayor Custer was read together with a proposed resolution which must be
approved by the Renton City Council before further action can be taken to implement the
North Renton Interchange project. The basic content of the resolution is that the City
recognizes a responsibility for the completion of the western approach to the Interchange.
It was pointed out that the Bureau of Public Roads had recently informed the City they
would consider participating in the costs of extending the ramp from the Interchange
westerly to Park Street, but since that time the Bureau has formally declined to
participate in this project. The Mayor requested Council's prompt consideration of this
matter and recommended approval of the resolution. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Poli,
that the proposed resolution be read and adopted. Upon inquiry from Councilwoman Dahlquistp
relative to giving up on Federal Aid, the Mayor stated it is reasonably certain that no
funds will be available from the Federal Government, the only recourse being the State.
Councilman Garrett expressed the opinion that the City should adopt this resolution,
thereby indicating the City's intent to go ahead with the project and then endeavor to
secure State participation. Vote on the motion carried. This resolution to be presented

A letter was read from Mayor Custer recommending that a study be made of the City's
Sick Leave" Ordinance (Title 1, Ch. 25, Code of City Ordinances) . Specifically, it is
recommended that some provision be made within this ordinance for policemen or other City
employees who have sustained serious injury while in the performance of their City duties,
which injuries require convalescent time in excess of accumulated sick leave. Moved by
Delaurenti, seconded by Perry, to refer this matter to the FIRE AND WATER COMMITTEE to
report back. Councilwoman Dahiquist felt that this should more properly be directed to
the Police and License Committee than to the Fire and Water Committee and Councilman
Garrett advised that any matter can be referred to any Council Committee. The motion
carried.
Mayor Custer's letter was read relative to conversations with several property owners
within the "Site 4" area, at which time they were advised of the appraisal figures for
their properties, and announced the City's intention to purchase their property for the
appraisal price. It was suggested that the Mayor and City Attorney be authorized to
proceed with the purchase at the noted prices, and that the City Clerk and Mayor be
authorized to sign the necessary instruments on the following properties: (1) Lot 2,
except north 5' , Block 2, Town of Renton, being 5,400 sq. ft. @ $1.67 sq. ft. for a total
