Dear Mr. Shan't
This letter is to infer you that the concrete foundation for
your building at l!h23-]1 25 92nd Avenue South has been con-
structed without request for inspection by the Building Depart-
ment. Construction without inspection i.e a violation of the
Building Code.
I also bring to your attention the restriction under the r
zoning ordinance No. 2013 which reserves the east 10 feet of
tho property for "0" alaasification. The building foundation
extends 5 t 44." into the "0" so e which is a violation of the
ordinance for business use.
I bring these violations to your attention and request you take
the necessary steps to comply with the ordinances.
Very truly yours,

STATE OF WASHINGTON
ss
COUNTY OF 'KING
Charles F. Shane, being first duly sworn upon oath,
deposes and says:
I.
That Relators are the owners of the following-described
real estate situate in Renton, King County, Washington:
The South 270 feet of the North 300 feet of the
West 150 feet of the East 170 feet of the
northwest quarter of Section 19, Township 23
North, Range 5 EWN.
II.
That Frank Aliment is now the duly elected Mayor of
the City of Renton; that Respondent, James Highton, is now the
appointed and acting Building Inspector for the City of Renton.
III.
That on or about December 21, 1962, Relators filed
with the City of Renton a petition requesting that the above-
described real estate be rezoned from classification District (G)
to Business District (B-1). Pursuant to that petition, Ordinance
No. 2013, entitled "An Ordinance of the City of Renton,
Washington, Changing Zoning Classification of Certain Property
1-
Within the City of Renton From General Classification District
G) to Business District (B-1)," was enacted by the Renton City
Council on February 25, 1963, approved by the Mayor on the same
date, and rublished in the Renton. newspaper on February 27, 1963.
By this ordinance, the above-described property owned by the
Relators was rezoned from 'General Cleseificet:tcan District (G) to
Business District (B-1), except the East. ten (10) feet thereof,
which retained the General Classification District (C) zoning.
IV. '
That, thereafter, Relators applied for and were issued
a building permit to locate a .commercial building on the above-
described property. That Relators then com®enced construction
of the building and located the footings and foundations for
said building within the East ten (10) feat of the above-
described property, which retained the General Classification
District (G) zoning. That, on May 17, 1963, Respondent, James
Highton, Building Inspector of the City of Renton, mailed to
Relators a 'letter stating that -the building foundation extends
five feet, four inches (5'4") into the (G) zone, which is a
violation of, Ordinance No. 2013 and for Relato» to take steps to
comply. Thereafter, Relators requested the Renton City Council
to reconsider this zoning matter and to rezone the whole of the
property to (B-1) , as had been recommended by the Renton Planning
Commission. . On June 10, 1963, the Renton City Council passed a
motion to adhere to the original ordinance passed by the Council,
which maintains '(a) -e~oning .of i ' tea '(10) foot strip. •

That,, on October 17 , '1939, the Menton City Council

t VI.
That the above ordies relating to zoning are null
and•void and ••ainy ,attempted enforcement thereof or thereunder .are
beyond t`be jurisdiction ;of the Respondents for the following
reasons;
1) :,That they ,were not worked out as a part of a
comprehensive plan, as, required' by RCW• 35.63.090, (Laws of 1933,
Chapter •44',. .Section 7).
2) That,, at the time these ordinances wire enacted
by the Rernton City' Council, no valid, comprehensive plan existed
affecting the. described p*op.rt_
Alternatively, if such :a plan then existed, the zoning
ordinances were null 'and'void..because:
1). Such. a Arlan had never been properly certified or
filed nor had, any' maps•or plats referred to or adopted by the
ordinances been certified •and filesd, as required by law.
2) No public hearings were held thereon nor were the
notices given, as acquired by law.
3) _Ordinanci Be. 2013, As enacted, constitutes spot
zoning as to the wining of the 'Bast ten (10) feet for (a) classi-
fication and, -also, was an .unreasonable, arbitrary, capricious,
discriminatory and. confiscatory act of the Connell. ,
VII.
Mutt, because the coning, laws of the City Zoning
Ordinances of-the City of'.kenton •aae. void, the Relators have the
absolute right to use .end dove/op their property as they see fit.
That :the Relators .inteind to Continue the construction of 'their

Hon. Frank Aliment,
Mayor of the City of Renton
City Hall,
Renton Wash.
Dear Sir:
Being interested only in promoting work for the Carpenters of this Union
and supporting our Contractors in this area to the best of my ability, I
am concerned with the construction on the property of Chas Shane where
it appears that he is not being given the same consideration as the other
land owners in the same section of Renton, namely 97th Ave. South and 7th
ave.
The demanded ten foot set back required for his building will greatly
decrease the size of the building and lessen the work for our carpenters,
therefore, I am requesting your Honor and the City Council to reconsider
their position taken on this matter and allow Mr Shane to build as
previously planned.
Thank you for any consideration,
Yours Truly

COUNCIL AS A WHOLE COMMITTEE
MEETING
June 10, 1963 10:00 p.m.
The meeting was called to order by President of the Council
Delaurenti, for the purpose of making a determination regarding the
request of Mr . Charles Shane for B-1 zoning of a 10 ft. strip of his
property which had been established under Ordinance No. 2013 on Feb
ary 25th, as G zoning.
City Engineer Wilson presented maps and drawings of the proposed
future right of way and outlined alternative plans to provide for a
proper alignment in anticipation of subsequent development of the area.
One plan was proposed which would require additional right-of-way from
Mr. Shane and Mr. Bonnell for a proper alignment, assuming dedication
of the existing street (Edwards Street) . Another proposal was to move
the right of way Easterly requiring realignment of the existing right-
of-way or secure wedge of land (Mr. Shane' s property which is being
purchased by the Railroad) and shift the improvement into the larger
right of way to the East. Mr. Shane upon inquiry as to whether he was
willing to any such arrangement advised that there is adequate property
for the right of way, he should not be deprived of the use of his land
citing negligence to be the result of existing problems, and stated he
would give one piece and should be given consideration for the other.
Mr. Dobson pointed out the alignment which Mr. Shane had referred to
and Mr. Wilson advised this was the property sold to the Railroad.
City Attorney Shellan at this point inquired of Mr . Wilson as to what_
plan is in the best interest of the City, what it will need and the size.
Mr. Wilson indicated the loft. strip tapering off into nothing at the
South boundary anticipating acquisition of the existing right of way
could be one requisite involving condemnation proceedings which might
be costly whereas acquiring the ten ft. strip and shifting the right of
way might be more economical. Upon inquiry as , to cost involved in the
acquisition City Attorney Shellan advised the property would have to be
appraised. Mr. Edwards remarked that if Bonnell and Pierotti would
petition for vacation and subsequent L.I .D. initiation it. will _ etult in
proper street alignment with fair share to all. Mr. Shane expressed
opposition to creation of an L.I .D. running across Rainier imposing an
assessment upon property owners for business purposes. Mr . Edwards
advised his purpose was to eliminate Langston Road with no one paying
any assessment compared to that street. Attorney Dobson advocated a
vacation would result in the property going to adjoining property owners
and condemnation of a full street instead of portions. Mr. Dobson stated
the City should not place restrictions on his client ' s property but if
the right of way is wanted it should be condemned and purchased as is
done with any other street. Placing restrictions on one parcel of land
was deemed improper and something that should be removed. Chairman
Delaurenti requested that Mr. Wilson make a decision as far as his De-
partment and the City are concerned and City Engineer Wilson pointed out
that the right of way could be shifted or use realignment with the existing
right of way and acquisition of the property to establish a feasible inter-
section and centerline. Councilman Reid inquired which of the two plans
would be in the best interest of the City and Mr. Wilson stated in his
opinion the relocation of the right of way which would at least give the
street straight lines. Planning Director Jensen pointed out that eventu-
ally five lanes might be required and nothing less than 84 ft. in width
which it was determined would require ten additional feet on the south
portion for proper alignment. Mr. Edwards stated he could not see the
logic of moving a complete street when there was a paved one already in
existence. Mr. Wilson reminded Mr. Edwards that the City no longer had
the deed which Mr. Edwards stated was strictly a technicality such as the
City' s lawsuits on the Bridge and Streetlights for which he had to hire
Counsel and after the law suits are over he would give it back. Mr.
Wilson pointed out that the need for utilities in the area might require
1-
Council As A Whole Committee Meeting 6-10-63
that the street be torn up in any event. Mr. Edwards stated he did
not feel he should have to give additional right of way for relocation
and repave as well. Mr. Wilson, advised that only an approximate 100 ft.
would need to be moved and that the present street will undoubtedly be
widened. Discussion . ensued regarding the presence of Mr. Shanes building
on. a portion of the right of way and Mr. Dobson pointed out that reduction
in size of the tract subsequently reduces the 'building size. Councilman
Custer suggested a Variance and Attorney Dobson pointed out that it was a
matter of finance and whether the City has authority to .place such a re-
striction depriving use of property without compensation. It was pointed
out the right of way could be arranged and not require moving the present
construction. Inquiry was made as to costs find City Engineer Wilson
stated it would be proper to adjust the alignment having the intersections
meet instead of jogging. Councilman Trimm inquired whether this could be
accomplished if the 30 ft. were used of Mr. Shane' s property and Mr. Wilson
advised that this was the portion Mr. Shane has sold to the Railroad.
Suggestion was made to require full width of 85ft with sufficient
set back to give required 85 ft. at the location of Mr . Shane' s property.
Mr. Dobson stated if the property is not rezoned the building will
be moved back and if B-1 zoning is granted it will remain in its present
location.
Moved by Dullahant, seconded by Hulse, to retain the present Ordinance
No. 2013 as passed in February by which the 10 ft.. strip is retained'-.as G zoning. -
Councilman Garrett, in view of Mr. Shane' s Counsel indicating contest
of Council action in Superior Court, inquired of City Attorney Shellan as
to legal advice on the action. Mr. Shellan advised he did not presume to
speak for, the Superior Court but stated he did not agree with Mr. Dobson
that the City does not have the right to rezone and determine which part
of the property should be zoned as requested and which part should be saved
for other "zoning. The City' s intention in Mr. Shane' s case is to rezone
all but a 10 ft. strip. Set-back requirements are enforced on all resi-
dential building,. and business may build up to the property line and the
10 ft. strip is not a setback therefore. - Mr. Shellan• stated :that .the City
could not take the property without payment and if he does not want to
dedicate it he is within his rights as is the City in the exercise of its
discretion should it decide against rezoning all of his property. If con-
demned,appraisers . mizst be secured to bringin .recommendations and if negoti-e
tions cannot be made it will need to go to court and would take anywhere
from six to eight months, this is providing the City wants the property
and finds they must condemn. Attention was called to the fact that no
right of way has yet been established and that regardless of width to be
established the Court would look favorably upon provisions for the right
of way to be even. Attorney Dobson stipulated the possible necessity in
such event for a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity. Mr . Shellan
deemed the Court would not interfere with legislative body determinations
on width unless fraud were indicated.
Councilman Garrett inquired as to subsequent action in the event the
pending motion fails, the end result seeming to be the same. As there was
no further comment Chairman Delaurenti requested wishes of the Committee
and it was moved by Dullahant, seconded by Hulse, that the motion as was
previously submitted be recommended to the Council, retaining the present
Ordinance. Carried.
As there was no further business, Chairman .Delaurenti declared the meeting
adjourned.

Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 6-10-63
COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.)
A letter was read from Mr. Paul S. Ford, Director of Taxes, The Boeing Company,
in reply to a letter from City Clerk Nelson inquiring in regard to payments in lieu
of taxes heretofore collected from the Department of Defense under Public Law 86-498
on certain buildings which have subsequently been acquisitioned by the Boeing Company.
Taxes to be allocated to the City by The Boeing Company for 1963 and comparison made
to prior payments in 1962 to establish an increase being evident were outlined by'Mr. Ford
and that the property will be appearing on the rolls for assessment in 1964. No
further reference to in-lieu-of-tax payments was made except that it was pointed out
that Boeing did not participate in the assessment negotiations Under the aforementioned
Public Law nor had it any responsibility for payments made thereunder. Inquiry was
made by Council as to whether the City would thereby assume that moneys were not to be
forthcoming as budgeted. It was further pointed out that Pacific Car & Foundry in the
same circumstances had made the payment in the year the property was under private
ownership. After further discussion of the obligation it was moved by Custer, seconded
by Dahlquist, to refer the matter to the City Attorney to report back. Carried.
A letter from Charles Shane requested that an error be corrected on zoning of
10 ft. strip of property and Mr. Dobson, Counsel for Mr. Shane advised that this was
to pursue the matter which had been deferred from the previous week, which would be
probably coming up under Committee reports, but in any event on which they would like
to be heard.
Moved by Garrett, seconded by Custer, to refer the letter to the Building Departme .
Carried.
A Petition containing approximately 25 signatures requested the City to place
Stop signs at the intersection of "N" Street and 9th Avenue North in the interest of
safety to the children of the area.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Dahlquist, to refer the matter to the Street and
Alley Committee and the Street Commissioner with Power to Act. Carried.
A letter from the Fourge Company, Builders, by Jerry Goodall, requested Council
action in release of Building Permits which have not been issued due to question re-
garding participation in future road improvements. (Property formerly owned by Mike
Sargent) Mr. Jensen advised of Agreements which had been executed by property owners
in the subject area in conjunction with Permits for building to insure proper extension
of the existing right of way. City Engineer Wilson pointed out that a Quit Claim Deed
was given by Mr. Sargent but the document has not been recorded pending committment to
the right of way improvements. Mr. Goodall has indicated that he is willing to sign
the agreement to participate in the road improvement. A bond was recommended as good
faith.Moved by Custer, seconded by Gianini, to allow Mr. Goodall to proceed upon posting
of adequate bond to insure improvements. This was adequate according to Mr. Jensen and
the pending motion carried.
A letter was read,which had been directed to Dr. Robert Evoy from the Renton Hospital
Board,advising that the application for permission to use the southerly portion of hospital
property along 4th Place for parking was denied . Consideration is being given to the
establishment of such a parking area along the East side of the property which it is felt
would be more suitable for both the public and hospital employees, it being closer to the
hospital entrance. This action renders the City's Permit for 4th Place void until such
time as a definite location has been established.
A letter was read from Councilman Gianini, recommending that Fire Chief Lawrence,
Assistant Chief Walls and the entire Fire Department be given special commendation for
the fine manner in which they prevented the fire, which totally destroyed the Renton
Hardware, from spreading to other buildings which may have resulted in disaster .otherwise.
Mr. Puhich was given mention for providing the necessary water pressure and the Utility
Department for the installation of the new system which made such pressure available.
Councilman Custer, on behalf of the merchants, gave special thanks for service above and
beyond the call of duty, in so little damage being sustained by neighboring buildings,
and moved that letters be directed to the Fire Department from the Council giving recog-
nition to their outstanding performance. The motion was seconded by Reid and carried.
A..letter.to Sup't. of Utilities Schroeder advised that the Council, in concurrence
with recommendations of the Sanitation and Fire and Water Committees, regretfully accepted
his resignation. Thanks and acknowledgement for services were. rendered.

OLD BUSINESS: (cont.) Chas. Shane Property Rezone
rezone of the whole property to B-1 as recommended by the Planning Commission. It
was suggested that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission in view of
the additional right of way grant. Mr. Dobson objected to the delay such course of
action would cause. Discussion ensued regarding Mr. Shane's building violation and
his counsel advised the building would be moved back if the property is- at rezoned
and that he will then proceed to recover damages sustained which will include the
loss of one additional office space. The right-of-way was discussed in anticipation
of future development as well as location of centerline for best alignment. City
Engineer Wilson advised plans had been drawn previously encompassing the right of
way for which Mr. Edwards had reclaimed his deed upon expiration of the option, and
it was determined that problems exist in any event. In one instance a wedge of land
will be required and in the other alternative the right of way will be moved re iring
new alignment. Mr. Edwards advised that the street was built according to the City
Engineering Department recommendation and should go to the quarter section corner,
that he intended it be kept open if Mr. Shane does not build within the right of way,
and that a petition for vacation and subsequent L.I.D. could be circulated and the
street placed where it should be. Mr. Emilio Pierotti spoke on the matter advocating
adequate right of way admonishing any plan for sub-standard street. After further
discussion and recommendations it was moved by Trimm, seconded by Hulse that the matter
be referred to the Council As A Whole and the City Engineer to bring in maps and des-
criptions. Carried. As City Engineer Wilson advised the maps were available at this
time Attorney Dobson requested that the Council convene tonight in Committee instead of
Monday as had been suggested.

of Utilities from the Boeing Company requesting permission to discharge wastes into
Metro facilities without interception by City lines in areas of the Renton plant com-
plexes where the Metro trunk is either closer or approximately equidistant to City
interceptors, enabling the City to avoid expense of acquisition, installation and
maintenance of sewer lines and Boeing to consequently avoid payment of additional costs
of 50% of fee for water discharged as provided under City Ordinance. Request was also .
made for waiver of assessment of the 50% charge on Buildings 10-60 and 10-65 which
sewer line and lift station conveying sewage therefrom were recently donated to the
City. Mr. Charles Shane protested the direct hook-up by Boeing to the Metro line ad-
vocating that he likewise had a Metro line close to his property. Mr. Schroeder, Sup'• .
of Utilities, advised the Metro connection by Boeing is considered an industrial line
and a metering manhole would cost Mr. Shane at least $7,200.00 prohibiting such private
connections costwise. Inquiry disclosed City Attorney Shellan had not seen the request.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS:
OLD BUSINESS: (cont.) Chas. Shane Property Rezone
rezone of the whole property to B-1 as recommended by the Planning Commission. It
was suggested that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission in view of
the additional right of way grant. Mr. Dobson objected to the delay such course of
action would cause. Discussion ensued regarding Mr. Shane's building violation and
his counsel advised the building would be moved back if the property is- tot rezoned
and that he will then proceed to recover damages sustained which will include the
loss of one additional office space. The right-of-way was discussed in anticipation
of future development as well as location of centerline for best alignment. City
Engineer Wilson advised plans had been drawn previously encompassing the right of
way for which Mr. Edwards had reclaimed his deed upon expiration of the option, and
it was determined that problems exist in any event. In one instance a wedge of land
will be required and in the other alternative the right of way will be moved ret21.7ring
new alignment. Mr. Edwards advised that the street was built according to the City
Engineering Department recommendation and should go to the quarter section corner,
that he intended it be kept open if Mr. Shane does not build within the right of way,
and that a petition for vacation and subsequent L.I.D. could be circulated and the
street placed where it should be. Mr. Emilio Pierotti spoke on the matter advocating
adequate right of way admonishing any plan for sub-standard street. After further
discussion and recommendations it was moved by Trimm, seconded by Hulse that the matter
be referred to the Council As A Whole and the City Engineer to bring in maps and des-
criptions. Carried. As City Engineer Wilson advised the maps were available at this
time Attorney Dobson requested that the Council convene tonight in Committee instead of
Monday as had been suggested.
NEW BUSINESS:
Councilman Dullahant made reference to expiration of Mr. Reid's term as President
of the Council and made the motion that he be given a vote of thanks by the Council and
that a letter from the Mayor be given in recognition of his consicentious service.
The motion was seconded by Bruce, and carried.
Councilman Reid thanked the Council and requested a meeting of the Street and
Alley Committee on Saturday at 8:00 a.m.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Bruce, that Vouchers No. 1231 through 1349, having
been previously approved by the Accounting and Auditing Committee, be approved by the
Council. Carried.
Councilman Custer presented a letter which had been directed to the Superintendent
of Utilities from the Boeing Company requesting permission to discharge wastes into
Metro facilities without interception by City lines in areas of the Renton plant com-
plexes where the Metro trunk is either closer or approximately equidistant to City
interceptors, enabling the City to avoid expense of acquisition, installation and
maintenance of sewer lines and Boeing to consequently avoid payment of additional costs
of 50% of fee for water discharged as provided under City Ordinance. Request was also
made for waiver of assessment of the 50% charge on Buildings 10-60 and 10-65 which
sewer line and lift station conveying sewage therefrom were recently donated to the
City. Mr. Charles Shane protested the direct hook-up by Boeing to the Metro line ad-
vocating that he likewise had a Metro line close to his property. Mr. Schroeder, Supit.
of Utilities, advised the Metro connection by Boeing is considered an industrial line
and a metering manhole would cost Mr. Shane at least $7,200.00 prohibiting such private
connections costwise. Inquiry disclosed City Attorney Shellan had not seen the request.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Trimm to refer the letter to the City Attorneys and
Sanitation Committee for report back. Carried.
Attorney John Dobson requested a recess at this time and convening of the Council
As A Whole Committee for disposition of the matter of zoning of the 10 ft. strip of the
Charles Shane property, and Chairman Delaurenti, upon motion by Hulse, seconded by
Gianini, acknowledged the motion to recess. Prior to dismissal and recess Chairman
Delaurenti expressed the wish to convey to Mr. Schroeder , "- A Bon Voyage"and suco ss
in his new venture along with appreciation for the work he has done during his 42 years
with the City.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Hulse, that Mr. Schroeder be given a letter of recom-
mendation from the Council. Carried.
Recess was declared at this time. After the recess, roll call was taken with all
Council Members present as previously listed.

Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 6-10w63
COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.)
A letter was read from Mr. Paul S. Ford, Director of Taxes, The Boeing Company,
in reply to a letter from City Clerk Nelson inquiring in regard to payments in lieu
of taxes heretofore collected from the Department of Defense under Public Law 86-498
on certain buildings which have subsequently been acquisitioned by the Boeing Company.
Taxes to be allocated to the City by The Boeing Company for 1963 and comparison made
to prior payments in 1962 to establish an increase being evident were outlined by.Mr. Ford
and that the property will be appearing on the rolls for assessment in 1964. No
further reference to in-lieu-of-tax payments was made except that it was pointed out
that Boeing did not participate in the assessment negotiations Under the aforementioned
Public Law nor had it any responsibility for payments made thereunder: Inquiry was
made by Council as to whether the City would thereby assume that moneys were not to be
forthcoming as budgeted. It was further pointed out that Pacific Car & Foundry in the
same circumstances had made the payment in the year the property was under private
ownership. After further discussion of the obligation it was moved by Custer, seconded
by Dahlquist, to refer the matter to the CityAttorney_ to report back. Carried
A letter from Charles Shane requested that an error be corrected on zoning of a
10 ft. strip of property and Mr, Dobson, Counsel for Mr. Shane advised that this was
to pursue the matter which had been deferred from the previous week, which would be
probably coming up under Committee reports, but in any event on which they would like
to be heard.
Moved by Garrett, seconded by Custer, to refer the letter to the Building Department.
Carried.
A Petition containing approximately 25 signatures requested the City to place
Stop signs at the intersection of "N" Street and 9th Avenue North in the interest of
safety to the children of the area.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Dahlquist, to refer the matter to the Street and
Alley Committee and the Street Commissioner with Power to Act. Carried.
A letter from the Fourge Company, Builders, by Jerry Goodall, requested Council
action in release of Building Permits which have not been issued due to question re-
garding participation in future road improvements. (Property formerly owned by Mike
Sargent) Mr. Jensen advised of Agreements which had been executed by property owners
in the subject area in conjunction with Permits for building to insure proper extension
of the existing right of way. City Engineer Wilson pointed out that a Quit Claim Deed
was given by Mr. Sargent but the document has not been recorded pending committment to
the right of way improvements. Mr. Goodall has indicated that he is willing to sign
the agreement to participate in the road improvement. A bond was recommended as good
faith.Moved by Custer, seconded by Gianini, to allow Mr. Goodall to proceed upon posting
of adequate bond to insure improvements. This was adequate according to Mr: Jensen and
the pending motion carried.
A letter was read,which had been directed to Dr. Robert Evoy from the Renton Hospital
Board,advising that the application for permission to use the southerly portion of hospital
property along 4th Place for parking was denied . Consideration is being given to the
establishment of such a parking area along. the East side of the property which it is felt
would be more suitable for both the public and hospital employees, it being closer to the
hospital entrance. This action renders the City's Permit for 4th Place void until such
time as a definite location has been established.
A letter was read from Councilman Gianini, recommending that Fire Chief Lawrence,
Assistant Chief Walls and the entire Fire Department be given special commendation for
the fine manner in which they prevented the fire, which totally destroyed the Renton
Hardware, from spreading to other buildings which may have resulted in disaster .otherwise.
Mr. Puhich was given mention for providing the necessary water pressure and the Utility
Department for the installation of the new system which made such pressure available.
Councilman Custer, on behalf of the merchants, gave special thanks for service above and
beyond the call of duty, in so little damage being sustained by neighboring buildings,
and moved that letters be directed to the Fire Department from the Council giving recog-
nition to their outstanding performance. The motion was seconded by Reid and carried.
A. letter.to Sup't. of Utilities Sebroeddr advised that the Council, in concurrence
with recommendations of the Sanitation and Fire and Water Committees, regretfully accepted
his resignation. Thanks and acknowledgement for services were rendered.

COUNCIL AS A WHOLE COMMITTEE
MEETING
June 10, 1963 10:00 p.m.
The meeting was called to order by President of the Council
Delaurenti, for the purpose of making a determination regarding the
request of Mr . Charles Shane for B-1 zoning of a 10 ft. strip of his
property which had been established under Ordinance No. 2013 on Febi .:1-
ary 25th, as G zoning.
City Engineer Wilson presented maps and drawings of the proposed
future right of way and outlined alternative plans to provide for a
proper alignment in anticipation of subsequent development of the area.
One plan was proposed which would require additional right-of-way from
Mr. Shane and Mr. Bonnell for a proper alignment, assuming dedication
of the existing street (Edwards Street) . Another proposal was to move
the right of way Easterly requiring realignment of the existing right-
of-way or secure wedge of land (Mr. Shane' s property which is being
purchased by the Railroad) and shift the improvement into the larger
right of way to the East. Mr. Shane upon inquiry as to whether he was
willing to any such arrangement advised that there is adequate property
for the right of way, ha should not be deprived of the use of his land
citing negligence to be the result of existing problems, and stated he
would give one piece and should be given consideration for the other.
Mr. Dobson pointed out the alignment which Mr. Shane had referred to
and Mr. Wilson advised this was the property sold to the Railroad.
City Attorney Shellan at this point inquired of Mr. Wilson as to what
plan is in the best interest of the City, what it will need and the size.
Mr. Wilson indicated the loft. strip tapering off into nothing at the
South boundary anticipating acquisition of the existing right of way
could be one requisite involving condemnation proceedings which might
be costly whereas acquiring the ten ft. strip and shifting the right of
way might be more economical. Upon inquiry as to cost involved in the
acquisition City Attorney Shellan advised the property would have to be
appraised. Mr. Edwards remarked that if Bonnell and Pierotti would
petition for vacation and subsequent L.I .D. initiation it. .wiil yesult in
proper street alignment with fair share to all. Mr. Shane expressed
opposition to creation of an L.I .D. running across Rainier imposing an
assessment upon property owners for business purposes. Mr. Edwards
advised his purpose was to eliminate Langston Road with no one paying
any assessment compared to that street, Attorney Dobson advocated a
vacation would result in the property going to adjoining property owners
and condemnation of a full street instead of portions. Mr. Dobson stated
the City should not place restrictions on his client' s property but if
the right of way is wanted it should be condemned and purchased as is
done with any other street. Placing - restrictions on one parcel of land
was deemed improper and something that should be removed. Chairman
Delaurenti requested that Mr. Wilson make a decision as far as his De-
partment and the City are concerned and City Engineer Wilson pointed out
that the right of way could be shifted or use realignment with the existing
right of way and acquisition of the property to establish a feasible inter-
section and centerline. Councilman Reid inquired which of the two plans
would be in the best interest of the City and Mr. Wilson stated in his
opinion the relocation of the right of way which would at least give the
street straight lines. Planning Director Jensen pointed out that eventu-
ally five lanes might be required and nothing less than 84 ft. in width
which it was determined would require ten additional feet on the south
portion for proper alignment. Mr. Edwards stated he could not see the
logic of moving a complete street when there was a paved one already in
existence. Mr. Wilson reminded Mr. Edwards that the City no longer had
the deed which Mr. Edwards stated was strictly a technicality such as the
City' s lawsuits on the Bridge and Streetlights for which he had to hire
Counsel and after the law suits are over he would give it back. Mr.
Wilson pointed out that the need for utilities in the area might require
Council As A Whole Committee Meeting 6-10-63
that the street be torn up in any event. Mr. Edwards stated he did
not feel he should have tb give additional right of way for relocation
and repave as well. Mr. Wilson advised that only an approximate 100 ft.
Would need to be moved and that the present street will undoubtedly be
Widened. •IDiscussion ensued regarding the presence ,of lvre Sharies building
on a portion of the ±ilht bf stay and Mr. bobsoh pointed out that reduction
in size of the tract subsequently' reduces the building size. Councilman
Custer suggested a Variance and A-ktbrriey' bJ boon pointed out that it was a
matter of finance and whether the City has authority to place such a rem
striction depriving use of property without compensation. It was pointed
out the right of way could be arranged and not require moving the present
construction. Inquiry was made as to costs and City Engineer Wilson
stated it would be proper to adjust the alignment having the intersections
meet instead of jogging. Councilman Trimm inquired whether this could be
accomplished if the 30 ft. were used of Mr. Shane' s property and Mr. Wilson
advised that this was the portion Mr. Shane has sold to the Railroad.
Suggestion was made to require full width of 85ft with sufficient
set back to give required 85 ft. at the location of Mr . Shane' s property.
Mr. Dobson stated if the property is not rezoned the building will
be moved back and if B-1 zoning is granted it will remain in its present
location.
Moved by Dullahant, seconded by Hulse, to retain the present Ordinance
No. 2013 as passed in February by which the 10 ft.. strip is retained:as G zoning.
Councilman Garrett, in view of Mr. Shane' s Counsel indicating contest
of Council action in Superior Court, inquired of City Attorney Shellan as
to legal advice on the action. Mr. Shellan advised he did not presume to
speak for the Superior Court but stated he did not agree with Mr. Dobson
that the City does not have the right to rezone and determine which part
of the property should be zoned as requested and which part should be saved
for other .'zoning. _ The City' s intention in Mr. Shane' s case is to rezone
all but a 10 ft. strip. Set-back requirements are enforced on all resi-
dential building and business may build up to the property line and the
10 ft. strip is not a setback therefore. - Mr. Shellan• stated_that -the City
could not take the property without payment and if he does not want to
dedicate it he is within his rights as is the City in the exercise of its
discretion should it decide against rezoning all of his property. If con-
demned,appraisers . must be secured to bring in .recommendations and if negotial
tions cannot be made it will need to go to court and would take anywhere
from six to eight months, this is providing the City wants the property
and finds they must condemn. Attention was called to the fact that no
right of way has yet been established and that regardless of width to be
established the Court would look favorably upon provisions for the right
of way to be even. Attorney Dobson stipulated the possible necessity in
such event for a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity. Mr . Shellan
deemed the Court would not interfere with legislative body determinations
on width unless fraud were indicated.
Councilman Garrett inquired as to subsequent action in the event the
pending motion fails, the end result seeming to be the same. As there was
no further comment Chairman Delaurenti requested wishes of the Committee
and it was moved by Dullahant , seconded by Hulse, that the motion as was
previously submitted be recommended to the Council, retaining the present
Ordinance. Carried.
As there was no further business, Chairman .Delaurenti declared the meeting
adjourned.

COMMUNICATIONS (cont.)
A letter was read from Planning Director Jensen submitting Planning Commission
recommendations as follows:
1. Preliminary Plat - Aloha Ranch - Approval recommended with conditions, to-wit:
a. Southeast 100th Street shall be aligned with the existing street
to the West at the intersection of 116th Avenue Southeast
b. A connecting street shall be provided to the North of the property
approximately 850' East of 116th Avenue S.E.
c. Southeast 100th Street shall extend to the Southeasterly corner of
the property with provision for a temporary turn-around.
Planning Director Jensen-added azadditional provision which the Planning Commission had
recommended which he had omitted from his letter as follows:
d. Variance deleting requirement for construction of that portion of the
street to the North of Mr. Shane's property except for curbing to
point agreed upon around the corner of the right of way.
Inquiry was made by Trimm if this were recommended by the Commission in order that no
repercussion might be forthcoming henceforth and Mr. Jensen affirmed the Commission's
intent to include this as a condition of approval of the Plat.

tions"a"through ''d'as outlined. Carried.

construction on the property of Charles Shane it being deemed consideration was not being

Avenue. The ten foot setback requirement decreasing the size of the building thereby
lessens the work for the carpenters. Reconsideration of the council's position on the

A Whole. Carried.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS
NEW BUSINESS: (cont. )
Moved by Custer, seconded by Delaurenti, that Vouchers #1150 through $1175,
having been previously approved by the Accounting and Auditing Committee, be
accepted for payment. Carried.
Councilman Custer inquired of the City Engineer whether he had been contacted by
the (MerryHill) Nursing Home on Talbot Hill relative to connecting onto the City's
Sanitary Sewer Line. Mr. Wilson advised that they had not made inquiry since sometime
last year. Discussion disclosed that the Health Department has given a 15 day ultimatum
regarding the Home's sanitary facilities and that a petition for annexation of the
subject area has been initiated which would resolve the problem in the event the element
of time were not a determining factor. The City's policy otherwise is not to allow any
outside residence to hook-up to the facilities within the corporate limits.
Moved by Trimm, seconded by Custer, to refer this matter to the Sanitation Committee.
Carried.
Mayor Aliment invited comment from the audience at this time and Attorney John Dobson,
addressed the assembly on behalf of Mr. Charles Shane, requesting removal of the restrictionn
Ifrom the ten feet of Mr. Shane's property upon which he has begun construction. This ten
feet according to Mr. Shane's knowledge had allegedly been included in the B-1 rezone of
the entire tract and not reserved for right-of-way. Mr. Dobson pointed out that adequate
ti area was now available for any right-of-way and City Engineer Wilson advised of additional
land deeded the City by the Highway Department therefor, upholding that in view of the
circumstances connected with the retainment of Edwards Street, the ten feet in question
is no longer required. Discussion followed regarding Planning Commission status and
action and other proceedings on the matter, Planning Director Jensen advising that the
restricting action was taken in pursuance of establishing a uniform building set back
in anticipation of future development. The matter was brought up regarding non-compliance
by Mr. Shane with requirements of the Code in construction of the foundation (Which
extends onto the 10 ft. strip)and a letter directed to him by the Building Department
regarding a stop work order, it being the duty of all builders to comply.without exception.
City Attorney Shellan inquired as to what constitutes a right-of-way suggesting that if
the present right-of-way is satisfactory an amendatory Ordinance would take care of the
ten feet. Mr. Dobson requested that Council take consideration of the restriction on the 10
feet.Moved by Custer, seconded by Pedersen, to refer the matter to the Council As A Whole.
Carried. Considering the matter of violation Councilman Garrett queried whether the
matter should be referred also tb_.th® Building Inspector and Councilman Reid advised he
would be invited to participate in the Committee meeting.
As there was no further business to come before the Council, it was moved by Bruce,
seconded by Delaurenti, to adjourn. Carried. The meeting was adjourned at 9:40 p.m.

Building Superintendent Higrton's letter to Mr. Charles Shane, advising that the \
building foundation at 14423-14425 - 92nd Avenue South extends 5'4" into the "G" zone in
violation of the Ordinance for Business use, and that construction without inspection is
a Building Code violation, was read.
Mr. Shane advised that he had petitioned the Planning Commission for a zoning of
this property to "B-1". Only recently had he been aware that the Planning Commission had
retained the "G" zoning applicable to the front 10". Mr. Shane stated that the City
normally has 60' as a right-of-way and that only on Primary State Highways is an 80'
right-of-way required. This street is not a Primary State Highway but the right-of-way
here is 80' in width. Property across the street is presently zoned "Business". Ques-
tion was raised as to whether that property has a 10' front setback; if so, this would
make a 100' right-of-way, yet 92nd Avenue South covers but one block. Further, that
City is taking 10' strip without compensation to him, yet he is required to pay tax on
this property. Upon request for his comments, City Attorney Shellan pointed out that
the City has a right to establish setbacks on streets other than Primary State Highways.
While the City cannot force an owner to give up property; an owner cannot force City to
zone to his liking. City can condemn property however and pay for it.
A Planning Commission recommendation from its Administrative Meeting of May 15,
1963, that the request of Mr. Wilbur L. Repp relative to waiving certain requirements of
the Building Ccde as applicable in Fire zone 1, be denied, after considering the following
factors, was read:
a) The proposed relocation of an existing building to this location and its con-
version to a duplex would be in violation of the present zoning code, which prohibits du-
plexes or single family residences in the Business District as new uses.
b) The proposal as outlined would require the granting of a variance, a request
for which has not been submitted to the Planning Commission for consideration.
c) In connection with the general improvement of structures in the Business
District, it is anticipated that the Council will reasonably soon initiate a program of
code enforcement to require the upgrading or removal of certain buildings and structures.
The granting of this request would not be consistent with the probable future action of
the Council.
Moved by Dullahant, seconded by Bruce, to concur with the recommendation of the
Planning Commission. Carried.
A letter from Arne G. Goedecke was read, regarding the City of Renton's participa-
tion in solving the Tiffany Park Area sewage disposal problem; more specifically making
inquiry as to whether the City would undertake the construction of the line Southerly to
the top of the hill (North boundary of property of Tiffany Park Development) provided
Metro will cross the Cedar River with the proper siphon. Thereafter, installation and
dedication of necessary trunk line and related sewer system within the limits of Tiffany
Park would be made to the City.
Moved by Trimm, seconded by Gianini, to refer the above matter to the Sanitation
Committee. Carried.
An Announcement was read from Chairman Gianini of Appointees for the Dedication
and Ceremony Committee of the newly-lighted Liberty Ball Park Field, and the planned
dedication ceremony and program scheduled tentatively for a date in the second week of
June, 1963.
Presentation of a luggage case with keys was made to Councilman Poli on behalf of
the Mayor and City Council Members.for his extended vacation trip in Europe, Councilman
Poli extended his thanks to all.
The Mayor declared a recess at this time. After the recess Roll Call was again
taken with all Councilmen present as previously indicated.
A Petition was read, signed by fifty-five property owners in the Talbot Hill Area
starting with "Umberto Barei" and ending with "Geraldine Wilson") requesting that the
Talbot Hill Area now zoned "GS-1" be changed to "R-1", by reason that a 35,000 square
foot lot to build in the area is no longer reasonable since the highway route has now been
determined and there is little reason to prohibit changing the size of the lot requirement
to 7,000 square feet.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Custer, to refer the Petition to the Planning Commission.
Carried.
