SITE PLAN APPROVAL
b) WILLARD, MIKE, App1. .No. SA-643-70; site approval for
motor vehicle and machinery repair shop and sales room inM-P zone; property located east side of West Valley HighwaybetweenSW37thand38thSts. (continued from January 28, 1970)
The Chairman described the site approval application and statedthematterhadbeencontinuedtopresenthearinginorderto
allow time for the applicant to discuss the application further
with the planning staff and also to allow for the appearance
before the Commission of the property owner, Mr. John Welch.
The Planning Director stated that since the last Commission
meeting, the staff has met with the applicant and the property
owner. Discussions were held concerning the actual use of the
site as well as the site plan itself. The questions essentially '
remain the same--first, is the proposed use permissible in- the
M-P zone; and secondly, is the site plan acceptable in the
opinion of the Planning Commission.
Audience comments were invited. Mr. John Welch, property owner,
stated that inasmuch as the property is zoned M-P, he did not
think it was necessary for the use to be approved by the Com'-
mission. The Chairman replied that some city officials had
felt the proposed use was questionable in the Manufacturing
Par( zone and the matter had been referred to the Planning
Commission to resolve. Normally, the Planning Commission must
approve all site plans in M-P zones, but in this case the ques-
tion of permissibility of use must also be resolved.
Cones-iderable discussion ensued among Commission members, the
Plajnning Director and Mr. Welch concerning his proposed use,
which in essence would be the remanufacture and sale of heavymachinery. The Chairman made the point that the proposed use
lay; on a fine line of being a wrecking yard operation. Mr.
Welch stated that he would abide by the fencing, screening
and! setback requirements of the zone, and if they were vio-
lated, the matter could come under the enforcement arm of the
city' s ordinances. The Chairman stated that the City AttorneyhadIbeenconsultedonthematter, and he had informed the
Planning Department that the permissibility of the use was
not; a legal matter; that it was the prerogative of the Plan-
ning Commission to hear all the facts and determine whether or
not! a proposed use was or was not allowable in the zone.
Discussion followed concerning similar uses in the immediate
area of subject property; it being pointed out that the major-
ity, of these uses are in the city of Tukwila and not under the
control of Renton. The Leber Ink operation to the north is in
the ' city of Renton. Zoning was granted prior to the enactment
of the M-P ordinance, but the applicant accepted B-P (Business
Parking) zoning on that portion of the property fronting WestValleyHighwayuponwhichnostructuresarepermitted. It was
Mr. ,Welch' s contention that his proposed use is permitted under
the {M-P ordinance under that section which states that permitted
use include any use allowable in the L-1 zone together with
such machinery and products manufacturing uses as specified in
Section 4-713 (a) of the Zoning ordinance.
Renton Planning Commission
Meeting February 11, 1970
Minutes - Page 4
Additional audience comments were invited. Mr. Leo Scarsella,
property owner directly 'south of subject property, stated he
would have no objection to the operation provided it were
cleaned up. With reference to poor condition of subject prop-
erty, the Planning Director stated that in accordance with
Commission wishes a letter addressed to W. C. Bogard, District
Engineer, Washington State Highway Commission, Department of
Highways, dated February 2, 1970, was hand delivered to Mr.
Bogard' s office. The letter requested information concerning
the State Highway Department' s intentions relative to the re-
moval of decrepit houses and litter presently on state right-
of-way adjacent subject property. To date, there has been no
reply to this letter.
Referring back to discussion of Section 4-712 : L-1 (Light
Industry) from which the uses permitted in M-P are derived,
the Planning Director stated the Commission' s authority to
decide permissibility of use is contained in (a) Use Permitted:
item (20) , "Other uses which can be reasonably considered simi-
lar or related to the uses listed above (items 1 through 19) ,
upon approval of the Planning Commission.
The Chairman stated the M-P section of the Zoning ordinance is
a fairly new one and was established in order to control indus-
trial development by uses and setbacks, landscaping and screen-
ing. The Earlington Industrial Park was cited as an excellent
example of this use and the avoidance of unsightly manufacturing
uses through application of said controls. At the present time,
wrecking yards are permitted only in the H-1 (Heavy Industry)
district.
Ross stated he felt that to reach a determination of the Com-
miSsion' s definition of the use of this property is paramount
and the Commission should handle this now, keeping in mind the
long term effect the use will have on the city generally and
the adjacent properties in particular.
ACTION:
MOVED BY DENZER, SECONDED BY ROSS, THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S
DETERMINATION OF PROPOSED USE WITH REFERENCE TO APPLICATION NO.
SA-643-70 IS THAT THE STORAGE, REMANUFACTURE AND SALE OF HEAVY
EQUIPMENT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE IN THE MANUFACTURING PARK ZONING
DISTRICT.
On the question, Poff stated that while he is in favor of reduc-
ing, the amount of objectionable sights and noises that go with
this type of land use, that when the Commission talks in terms
ofgood planning one of the main definitions is a certain con-
tinuity of land use in this area. In his opinion, in this case
the' property owner is a victim of circumstances beyond his con-
trol in that when he first acquired the property his proposed
wrecking yard use was permitted in the L-1 district. This use
was repealed and transferred to the H-1 district before he could
put his plans into effect. Poff stated further that he is for
good planning., but he did not think it was fair to make one man
the[ victim of historical circumstances; hence' he was opposed to
the] motion. It was noted by the Planning Director that prior
to rezoning to M-P, the area in question was zoned G allowing
residential uses only.

cussed last year and an ordinance amendment was drafted and
forwarded to the Council Planning Committee on June 2, 1969.

Renton Planning Commission
Meeting January 28, 1970
Minutes - Page 5
Discussion ensued concerning the feasibility of the new construc-
tion as requested by the applicant, and the Planning Director
stated he felt it would 'be desirable to have the plan checked
by the Fire Department with reference to access for emergency
vehicles due to the close proximity of the new building to the
existing one.
The Chairman stated he felt the hearing should be continued for
two weeks to allow the planning staff time to check with the
Fire Department and also give the applicant an opportunity to
submit more detailed drawings of his proposed construction.

The Chairman described the application; the Planning Director
pointed out location of the property on the zoning map. The
Planning Director stated the plan as presented does conform to
the setback and parking requirements; however, the landscaping
plan is not satisfactory in that the plantings shown are too
sparse for the area to be covered. The Planning Director recom-
mended that the Commission approve the site plan subject to re-
submittal of the landscape plan and approval thereof by the Plan-
ning Department.
Audience comments in favor of the application were invited.
Mr. Douglas Mulvanney, architect, appeared on behalf of the
applicant. He stated he would be willing to revise the land-

The Chairman described the site approval application. The Plan-
ning Director pointed out property location on the zoning map.
Slides of the property were shown. The Planning Director stated
the question before the Commission is two-fold; first, is the
proposed use allowable in the M-P zone with reference to Sec-
tion 4-712 (a) (20) ; and second, does the site plan as presented
meet the approval of the Planning Commission as required under
the M-P zone. The applicant' s proposed use of heavy equipment

repair and storage would appear to be allowed only in the H-1
zone, and this question will be resolved by the Planning Com-
mission:
Mr. Mike Willard, 13844 SE 171st Street, the applicant, spoke on
behalf of the application. He stated there have been consider-
ablel problems concerning filling the property and he realized
that' the development looks poor at the present time. The State
Highway Department has purchased twenty feet of width fronting
the property for the realignment of the West Valley Highway,and Mr. Willard stated he has just received permission from
the State Highway Department to remove the unsightly old houses
on the property.
Considerable discussion followed among Commission members, the
Planning Director and Mr. Willard concerning his use of the
property. It was determined that Mr. John Welch is the actual
owner of the property, is paying for the fill and improvements,
will construct the proposed building; Mr. Willard is leasing
the property from Mr. Welch and had been requested to appear
for him.
It was agreed by Commission members that it would be desirable
for Mr. Welch to appear before the Commission in support of the
application.
I
Mr. Leo Scarsella, property owner adjacent directly south of
subject property, was present in the audience and was concerned
overHthe proposed use and the poor appearance of the develop-
ment. He stated he was in the construction business himself
and certainly not opposed to anyone in the construction industry,
but that applicant's use of the property was a detriment to the
area., The Chairman stated the Commission would, in the course
of the hearings, determine whether or not the use was permittedand. allowable in the M-P zone.
ACTION:
movEp BY MOLA, SECONDED BY DENZER , THAT THE SITE APPROVAL APPLI-
CATION OF MIKE WILLARD BE CONTINUED TO THE FEBRUARY 11 , 1970
MEETING, AND THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER BE REQUESTED TO ATTEND
SAID 'MEETING. MOTION CARRIED.
FURTHER ACTION:
MOVED BY POFF, SECONDED BY MOLA, THAT A LETTER BE DIRECTED TO THE
STATE' HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT ASKING WHEN THEY WILL REMOVE THE DECREPIT
HOUSES AND LITTER ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY PURCHASED BY SAID DEPARTMENT
AT SUBJECT LOCATION. MOTION CARRIED.
With further reference to item (f) above, the Planning Director
stated the plan presented does not include landscaping. Ster-
ling felt the plan itself was insufficient for adequate Commis-
sion consideration and requested the applicant to submit addi-
tional data.

Dear sir:
Your business located at the above address is not approved by the zoning
ordinances for storage of heavy equipment and car wrecking. This area is
MU 4 zone whereas your business can only be allowed in H•I zone. You
received by hand on December 30, 1969 a copy of a memorandum from the
Planning Department to this effect.
The following are additional violations of certain city ordinances:
Moving building from one location to another without
permit and prior approval by Planning Commission.
No application for temporary location of building.
No application for building permit for work on the
building.
No application for electrical permit for work on
the building.
No application for plumbing permit for work on the
building.
In October Ron Nelson and I stopped and left a notice for you to contact
this department. about this building but received no word from you. For
these reasons a stop work notice was posted on this building.
Sincerely,
W. E. Crews
Assistant Building Director
