Short Plat #018-77 Exception #019-77 Waiver #020-77 LOCATION: Vicinity of 3011 Mountain View Avenue North. SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Applicant requests approval of a two-lot short plat, together with an exception from the Subdivision Ordinance to allow the short plat with a 20 foot private easement to the proposed interior lot, and a waiver from the off-site improvement ordinance. SUMMARY OF Planning Department: Approval of short plat and RECOMMENDATION: exception with conditions; denial of waiver request & granting an indefinite deferral. Hearing Examiner: Denial. PLANNING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department staff report was received REPORT: by the Examiner on March 8, 1977. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Planning Department report, examining available information on file with the application, and field checking the property and Surrounding area, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: The hearing was opened on March 15, 1977, at 9:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were sworn. It was reported that the Hearing Examiner and the applicant had received and reviewed the Planning Department report, and the report was entered into the record as Exhibit #1. Michael Smith, Planning Department, reviewed Exhibit #1, and entered the following additional exhibits into the record: Exhibit #2: Assessor's Map. Exhibit #3: Detailed Site Plan, Proposal of Lot Separation. The Examiner asked Mr. Smith when the short plat request was submitted. Mr. Smith indicated he did not have the exact date, but the applicant would supply this information during his testimony. The Examiner inquired about the width of the proposed easement, and Mr. Smith responded that the easement would be 17 feet in width with a proposal to extend the area to 20 feet by utilizing 3 feet of the subject site and expand the paving to 15-16 feet. He reported that the present paved portion is 9 feet in width. o Short Plat #018-77 Page Two Exception #019-77 Waiver #020-77 The Examiner noted that the applicant had submitted three applications and requested Mr. Smith to summarize them together, but that they would be reviewed separately by the Examiner. Mr. Smith read a letter which had been submitted to the Planning Department by the applicant on February 10, 1977, regarding exception to short plat off an easement. The Examiner requested clarification on the map regarding a turnaround provision from the requested easement, which Mr. Smith subsequently described. The Examiner asked if Mr. Smith had additional exhibits or information to present. Mr. Smith indicated that he had no further comments at that time. The Examiner asked Mr. Greene, the applicant, if he concurred in the Planning Department report. Mr. Greene indicated concurrence but asked to comment on the report. Speaking was: Gary A. Greene 4648 89th Avenue S.E. Mercer Island, WA 98040 Mr. Greene reported that in response to the Examiner's inquiry, the property to the north was short platted ten to fifteen years ago. In regard to the turnaround, Mr. Greene indicated that a turnaround was possible and would be incorporated into the final design plan. The applicant stated that he would be willing to answer any further questions. The Examiner asked for additional testimony in favor of the application. Responding was: Bev G. Morrison 3011 Mountain View Avenue N. Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Morrison briefly summarized the history of acquisition of the property and indicated that Lot B, which contains 10,500 square feet, had been deeded to his son-in-law, Mr. Greene. He stated that the proposed structure would not interfere with the value of neighboring property and was hopeful that the request would not cause dissension in the neighborhood. The Examiner asked for testimony in opposition to the application. Responding was: William I. Mendenhall 3007 Mountain View Avenue N. P.O. Box 357 Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Mendenhall reported that he resides to the south of Mr. Morrison and had spoken with Mr. Greene on March 14 regarding the proposed construction. He indicated he was opposed to the request for the following reasons: 1) A verbal agreement was made by neighbors at the time of original purchase and construction of homes to place structures in a line to prevent the obstruction of views. However, some owners had broken the agreement during sale of homes; 2) Building a residence in front of his home would not increase the value of the property, and he objected to problems of drainage and obstruction of lake view; 3) Mr. Mendenhall's residence would face directly towards the proposed residence because of the existing dogleg in the land; and 4) He did not wish to develop his property, and the development would entail negotiating with the abutting neighbor, Mr. Shane, for an easement access. Mr. Mendenhall briefly reviewed the history of acquisition of the property and expressed the desire to maintain a good relationship with his neighbors, but felt the need to conform to the original verbal agreement. Short Plat #018-77 Page Three Exception #019-77 Waiver #020-77 The Examiner inquired about the agreement. Mr. Mendenhall indicated that it was verbal, not written, but felt it was a moral, binding agreement. The Examiner reported that the Planning Department had indicated a concern regarding obstruction of views, and asked Mr. Mendenhall if the proposed low profile structure was limited to a maximum height of 15-18 feet, would it obstruct his view of the lake. Mr. Mendenhall responded that a new home would obstruct his view and expressed the concern that a precedent would be set which would increase the density of the area and obstruct views from existing residences. The Examiner asked Mr. Mendenhall if the structure could be placed on any area of the lot which would not impair the view. Mr. Mendenhall reported that the property is level from front to back and because of the dogleg, construction of a home on any area of the property would impair the view. The Examiner indicated that stipulations of the request would include submitting a site plan and elevation plan of the proposed building which would require approval by the Planning Department and the adjacent property owners. Mr. Mendenhall stated that he would contact an attorney regarding his legal rights in the matter, and indicated he would require more time to investigate all aspects of the proposal. The Examiner stated that he would desire to leave all options open in the matter and asked if Mr. Mendenhall would consider any extenuating circumstances. Mr. Mendenhall indicated his opposition and requested reservations for future action. The Examiner asked for further testimony in opposition to the request. Responding was: Charles Shane 3003 Mountain View Avenue N. Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Shane stated that should Mr. Mendenhall develop his property in the same way as the applicant's proposal, it would create a similar view-obstructing situation from his residence. He reported that purchase of his home had been made because of the desirability of owning lake front property, and felt that construction of homes on the lake front portion of the lot changed this aspect. He spoke regarding the height of the road which is approximately 16 feet above the water level and the proposed structure which would be limited to 15-18 feet, and reported that homeowners in the area had broken the verbal agreement to a certain extent with construction of boathouses and second story additions, and expressed the apprehension that the verbal agreement would be further broken if homes were sold to new owners. The Examiner asked Mr. Shane if he had considered dividing his property and Mr. Shane indicated that he had not. The Examiner asked Mr. Shane if restricting the height of the building to 18 feet would obstruct the view. Mr. Shane indicated that it would be obstructive because of the view of the roof. The Examiner asked for further testimony in opposition. There was none. The Examiner asked Mr. Greene if he had further comments in rebuttal. Mr. Greene submitted two additional exhibits: Exhibit #4: Elevation Map of Property. Exhibit #5: Site Plan with Trees Designated. He explained that the elevation map illustrated the grade from a north/south point of view and shows no difference between the grade of the Mendenhall property and the subject property, but if one stands on the property, the Mendenhall property has a slightly higher elevation than is shown on the map. He indicated that the verbal agreement had been broken by the construction of a structure on the Burr property which has been subdivided. He reported that drainage @ Short Pi ,~ #018-77 Page Four Exception #019-77 Waiver #020-77 tiles would be installed on the subject property and felt that the size of the lot of 10,500 square feet prevented a crowded appearance. He stated that he had agreed to restrictive covenants limiting the height of the structure to 15-18 feet. The applicant explained Exhibit #5, which illustrates a number of large trees including three large willow trees on the Mendenhall property, one in excess of 75 feet, which he felt were an obstruction of the view. He indicated that the Burr residence was 20 feet in height, but did not obstruct the view from the Morrison residence. With respect to the elevation, he stated the property is flat, but increases in height on a crest where existing two-story residences have been placed. The Examiner asked the applicant about the contemplated design of the structure. Mr. Greene responded that he did not plan a flat level house, but would construct a one-story home with a moderate pitched roof within the height limitation including the chimney. He indicated there would be no second addition. The Examiner suggested continuing the hearing in order to allow the applicant time to contact an architect or have a detailed elevation plan prepared. Mr. Greene indicated his concurrence and stated that he had agreed to everything the Planning Department imposed in every respect. He reported that he had contacted the King County Assessor's office to investigate property values from a tax point of view and that the new structure would not increase or decrease property values in any way. The Examiner asked if the applicant would be willing to have an architectural site plan and elevation plan prepared even if the request may be eventually denied or approved. Mr. Greene indicated his willingness to prepare the necessary plans. Mr. Morrison stated that the greatest problem with existing lake views is the presence of large trees on the Mendenhall property, and felt that the trees could be cut if the issue were the maintenance of the view. The Examiner asked Mr. Morrison if he had trees on his property and Mr. Morrison responded that one large tree exists on Lot B, and it is the intent of the applicant to top the tree. Mr. Morrison reported that a certain amount of construction had been accomplished for houses, additions, boat and bath houses, and felt that the original verbal agreement had been broken between the four homeowners in the area and was no longer valid. Mr. Smith commented that the Planning Department staff reports are prepared without contact with abutting neighbors, and felt that to be fair to all residents, site and elevation plans should be prepared to increase awareness of significant impact on existing views, and that the Planning Department would recommend that this be accomplished. He indicated that restrictions on the property would be in the form of covenants with the land, site storm water retention facilities, and that the Planning Department would not recommend approval of a condition that will detract from the view. The Examiner asked Mr. Mendenhall if these suggestions were agreeable to him. Mr. Mendenhall stated that regarding the previous discussion about view-obstructing trees, that trees are natural objects and can be removed, but houses are permanent structures and cannot be removed. The Examiner directed the comment to Mr. Mendenhall that if he were opposed to any type of construction, the Examiner would be causing needless delay to continue the hearing in order to allow preparation of the pertinent maps and plans and asked Mr. Mendenhall if he would want to hold his final decision until review of such plans. Mr. Mendenhall restated that he was opposed to construction, that he may consider development of the property at some future time, but not at the present time. The Examiner summarized the application and noted that his job is not always an easy one, and he makes every attempt when possible to arbitrate between supporting and opposing parties. He stated that both property owners have certain rights, that he would review all comments and arguments for and against the application, consider the rights of both parties and reach his conclusion. The hearing on Item #018-77, #019-77, and #020-77 was closed by the Examiner at 10:20 a.m. ~ Short Plat #018-77 Page Five Exception #019-77 Waiver #020-77 FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: Ms Mr. Greene, the applicant, requests approval of a two lot short plat together with an exception to the Subdivision Ordinance to allow the short plat with a 20 foot easement to the proposed interior lot. A waiver of off-site improvements is also being requested. It is the proposal of Mr. Greene to construct a single family residence on the west one-half of the Morrison property. This has been designated as Lot B on Exhibit #3. Lot B is approximately 10,500 square feet in area and will access to Mountain View Ave. N. via a 20 foot easement located on the north portion of the property and shared by the Burr residence. The existing zoning in this area is G-6000, minimum lot size 6,000 square feet. The proposed short plat would be in excess of the minimum requirement for square footage. This area is known as Coleman Point and consists of approximately four homes with lots in excess of 300 feet in depth. The Morrison home is in line with the Savoy residence built to the north, the Mendenhall residence built to the south, and the Shane residence also located to the south. These homes are all located approximately 20 to 35 feet from Mountain View Avenue N. and have front yards in excess of 200 feet. The Savoy property to the north has a residence constructed on the west one-half, now known as the Burr residence. This residence was formerly a boat house that was remodeled into a cottage and then converted to a residence approximately 10 to 15 years ago. This residence was constructed prior to adoption of a short plat ordinance. Mr. Greene indicated that he proposes to build a single family residence that would not exceed a height of 15-18 feet and would be willing to submit plans and profiles illustrating his proposed residence. The four homes in this area were apparently built with similar setbacks to maintain an unobstructed view of the lake. Construction of these homes was followed by a verbal agreement made by the neighbors to prevent the obstruction of adjacent views. The Savoy residence to the north was sold and a subsequent building was constructed on the west one-half which violated the intent of the verbal agreement. Adjacent property owners are concerned about the effect the proposed structure will have on their lake views. It was noted that there are several large willow trees located on the western edge of the property which create an obstruction to the view. CONCLUSIONS: Ls Le s ) . These homes in the Coleman Point area have all been built on lake front property with considerable depth that has a virtually unobstructed view of Lake Washington and Mercer Island. The homes are similar in character and architecture and maintain Similar open space areas. This open space has been violated by the construction of the Burr residence located to the north. There was apparent opposition to the construction of this building since it violated a verbal agreement by the four adjacent property owners. Construction of additional residences in the front yard areas would change the character of this residential area and would in effect double the density. Short Plat #018-77 Page Six Exception #019-77 Waiver #020-77 4. Several property owners to the north of the applicant's property oppose the construction of a single family residence on the Morrison property. 5. These property owners with the exception of the Savoy residence have resided in this area for a considerable amount of time and have certain property rights inherent in the purchase of their residence. 6. Changing the character of this area by short platting should not be allowed if there is opposition from adjacent property owners. 7. Efforts to reach a compromise in the hearing process between supporting and opposing parties were not successful in that the opposition concurred that they would be opposed to any type of construction in the front yard areas regardless of restrictions or submittal of site plans. 8. In the future, it may be feasible to short plat this property and the adjacent property as indicated by Mr. Greene. However, this shall only be accomplished when there is concurrence by adjacent property owners to proceed with this subdivision as it will change the character of the area and infringe on certain property rights. RECOMMENDATION: For each of the above reasons, recommendation of the Hearing Examiner is to deny the submitted application. ORDERED THIS 21st day of March, 1977. A5el ath mes L.

Notice was properly published in the Record Chron- icle and posted in three places on or near the site as required by City ordinance. The request for short plat, exception, and waiver is to permit the construction of a single family residence between the existing single family residence and the shoreline. HISTORY/BACKGROUND : The area was platted many years ago into narrow lots. extending from Mountain View Ave. N. to the Inner Harbor Line. The existing house was built on two such 30 foot wide lots. The house was constructed approximately 250 feet from the water's PLANNING DEPARTMENT PRELIMINARY REPORT TO HEARING EXAMINER PUBLIC HEARING OF MARCH 15, 1977 PAGE TWO RE’ GARY A.

The adjacent house to the north was built in approxi- mately the same position, with a second house later construc- ted on the waterward portion of the lot subdivided from the front portion along Mountain View Ave. N. This area is called Coleman Point and is the only existing residential shoreline area in Renton that has such large lot depths to the water's edge. PHYSICAL BACKGROUND: 1. Topography: The site drops toward Lake Washington from Mountain View Ave. at a slope of approximately 6%, then levels off at approximately the center of the property. The overall elevation difference between the lower half and the upper half of the site is approximately 7-10 feet. 2. Soils: Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam (Agc) - Runoff is slow to medium, and the hazard of erosion is moderate. This soil is used for timber, pasture, row crops, and urban development. 3. Vegetation: Primarily species induced onto the site by man, together with lawn area. 4. Wildlife: Various waterfowl and small rodents. 5. Water: The site is adjacent to Lake Washington. 6. Land Use: There is an existing single family residence on the site with approximately 250 feet of open space between the structure and the water's edge. There are single family residences both north and south of the subject site. Mountain View Ave. N. abuts the property on the east. The Burlington Northern Railroad right-of- way exists to the east of Mountain View Ave. N. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS: The area consists of single family residences, most of which are located on waterfront lots. Except for the area imme- diately on Coleman Point, most of the homes have been con- structed on lots with a relatively small amount of develop- able area. PURLIC SERVICES: 1. Water and Sewer: An 8" sanitary sewer main and a 6" water main are available to the subject site. 2. Fire Protection: Provided by the Renton Fire Department and subject to City of Renton requirements. 3. Transit: Metro Transit Route No. 240 operates along Lake Washington Blvd. and Burnett Ave. N. 4. Schools: The site is within 3/4 mile of Kennydale Elemen- tary School. 5. Parks: The subject site is within 1/4 mile of Kennydale Beach Park and Lake Washington Beach Park. PLANNING DEPARTMENT .

SOCIAL IMPACTS: The additional residence to the area will create new social interactions. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD : Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental Policy Act of 1971 as amended (RCW 43.21C), a Declaration of Non-significance has been issued for the subject proposal (see attached). ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: A visinity map and site map are attached. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS; 1. The proposed lot sizes are approximately 10,500 square feet each, exceeding the requirement of 6,000 square feet for the G-6000 zone. 2. The applicant proposes to construct a low profile residence on the proposed lot. This combined with the elevation difference of adjacent properties, should not significantly impact the view waterward from adjacent properties. How- ever, height restrictions should be considered. 3. The property immediately to the north of the subject site has been subdivided in a similar arrangement and a house constructed on a pipestem-type lot. The applicant pro- poses to use this pipestem as an access easement to the proposed interior lot. The proposed overall width of this easement is 20 feet, which complies with the 20 foot mini- mum pipestem width of the Sibdivision Ordinance, PLANNING DEPARTMENT PRELIMINARY REPORT TO HEARING EXAMINER PUBLIC HEARING OF MARCH 15, 1977 PAGE FOUR RE: GARY A. GREENE SHORT PLAT APPLICATION NO. 018-77; EXCEPTION TO SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE APPLICATION NO. E-019-77; WAIVER OF OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS APPLICATION NO. W-020-77 ie The applicant proposes to pave approximately 6 feet in addition to the existing 9 foot wide paved area to provide a total paved driveway width of approximately 15 feet. Al] city departments, including the Fire Department, have no objections to the short plat, exception, and waiver. It may also be possible for the property owner to the south to subdivide in a similar manner. However, it does not appear to have sufficient width between structures on either side to facilitate a suitable driveway easement or pipestem. Therefore, the granting of the subject request may not set a precedent in the area. No curbs, gutters, or sidewalks exist along Mountain View Ave. N. The applicant has agreed to establish restrictive covenants requiring participation of the subject property in’any LID for such improvements. Sewer and water are available to the site. PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDAT LON; Recommend approval of the short plat and exception to permit the private easement as proposed subject to: 1.

YAP ALY 4648 89th Avenue Southeast Mercer Island, Washington 98040 February 10, 1977 Planning Department City of Renton City Hall Renton, Washington 98055 Attention: Hearing Examiner and City Council EXCEPTION TO SHORT PLAT OFF AN EASEMENT We are requesting an exception to the subdivision ordinance to allow a 2 lot short plat with access provided by private ease- ment to one of the lots. We feel this request is justified for the following reasons. The subject property was purchased by B.G. and Sylvia Morrison in 1947, and they have been sole owners since. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison have deeded the west 188’ together with second-class shoreline adjoining to Gary and Joan Greene, for the purpose of building a low-profile home thereon. The ad- joining property to the north is owned by Robert Burr, who has access by private road from Mountain View Avenue North. Mr. Robert Burr has agreed to grant an easement for access to the west 188' of subject property and B.G. Morrison is willing to grant a 3' easement paralleling said road in order to give said easement a 20' width, and paved road a 16' width. To date a recent survey of proposed easement has not been made by a qualified engineer. If this is necessary please inform us. We know of two or three other properties on Mountain View Avenue North where two houses have joint access*from Mountain View Avenue North far less desirable than this proposal submitted. With this proposal we are filing a covenant to agree to builda low-profile (one story) house, so that the view from adjoining properties will not be impaired. When Ted Jones owned the Burr property approximately fifteen years ago, he agreed to a joint easement with Mr. Morrison. However, it was not anticipated that zoning regulations would subsequently be made to prohibit this action without a request for variance. Mr. Burr is in the process of building an addition to his home and is in urgent need of new underground utility lines for his property. We propose to work together in this regard. We feel that the proposed subdivision of this property to build a low-profile house would not be contrary to the city's comprehensive plan, as the zoning is residential in this area. The lot is 188' x 60' and is larger than minimum size for a single dwelling. The access to the lot will certainly be large enough for vehicles, utilities, fire protection and water supply. The sewer line has already been established on this lot. Ae ArLernre, Gary A.

The Act also requires that an EIS‘be prepared for all major actions significantly affecting the quality of the environment. . The purpose of this checklist is to help the agencies involved determine whether or. not a proposal is such a major action. Please answer the following questions as completely as you can with the information presently available to you. Where explanations of your answers are required, or where you believe an explanation would be helpful to government decision makers, include your explanation in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You should include references to any reports or studies of which you are aware and which are rele- vant to the answers you provide. Complete answers to these questions now will help all agencies involved with your proposal to undertake the required environmental review with- out unnecessary delay. The following questions apply to your total proposal, not just to the license for which you are currently applying or the proposal for which approval is sought. Your answers should include the impacts which will be caused by your proposal when it is completed, even though completion may not occur until sometime in the future. This will allow all of the agencies which will be involved to complete their environmental review now, with- out duplicating paperwork in the future. : NOTE: This is a standard form being used by all state and local agencies in the State of Washington for various types of proposals. Many of the questions may not apply to your proposal. If a question does not apply, just, answer it "no" and continue on to the next question. 5 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM I.

ERICKSNE RENTON PLANNING DIRECTOR Published in The Renton Record-Chronicle March 4, 1977. R4224 March 21, 1977 OFFICE OF THE LAND USE HEARING EXAMINER CITY OF RENTON REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION. APPLICANT: Gary A. Greene FILE NO. Short Plat #018-77 Exception #019-77 Waiver #020-77 LOCATION: Vicinity of 3011 Mountain View Avenue North. SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Applicant requests approval of a two-lot short plat, together with an exception from the Subdivision Ordinance to allow the short plat with a 20 foot private easement to the proposed interior lot, and a waiver from the off-site improvement ordinance. SUMMARY OF Planning Department: Approval of short plat and RECOMMENDATION: exception with conditions; denial of waiver request & granting an indefinite deferral. Hearing Examiner: Denial. PLANNING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department staff report was received REPORT: by the Examiner on March 8, 1977. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Planning Department report, examining available information on file with the application, and field checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: The hearing was opened on March 15, 1977, at 9:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were sworn. It was reported that the Hearing Examiner and the applicant had received and reviewed the Planning Department report, and the report was entered into the record as Exhibit #1. Michael Smith, Planning Department, reviewed Exhibit #1, and entered the following additional exhibits into the record: Exhibit #2: Assessor's Map. Exhibit #3: Detailed Site Plan, Proposal of Lot Separation. The Examiner asked Mr. Smith when the short plat request was submitted. Mr. Smith indicated he did not have the exact date, but the applicant would supply this information during his testimony. The Examiner inquired about the width of the proposed easement, and Mr. Smith responded that the easement would be 17 feet in width with a proposal to extend the area to 20 feet by utilizing 3 feet of the subject site and expand the paving to 15-16 feet. He reported that the present paved portion is 9 feet in width. Short Plat #018-77 Page Two Exception #019-77 Waiver #020-77 The Examiner noted that the applicant had submitted three applications and requested Mr. Smith to summarize them together, but that they would be reviewed separately by the Examiner. Mr. Smith read a letter which had been submitted to the Planning Department by the applicant on February 10, 1977, regarding exception to short plat off an easement. The Examiner requested clarification on the map regarding a turnaround provision from the requested easement, which Mr. Smith subsequently described. The Examiner asked if Mr. Smith had additional exhibits or information to present. Mr. Smith indicated that he had no further comments at that time. The Examiner asked Mr. Greene, the applicant, if he concurred in the Planning Department report. Mr. Greene indicated concurrence but asked to comment on the report. Speaking was: Gary A. Greene 4648 89th Avenue S.E. Mercer Island, WA 98040 Mr. Greene reported that in response to the Examiner's inquiry, the property to the north was short platted ten to fifteen years ago. In regard to the turnaround, Mr. Greene indicated that a turnaround was possible and would be incorporated into the final design plan. The applicant stated that he would be willing to answer any further questions. : The Examiner asked for additional testimony in favor of the application. Responding was: Bev G. Morrison 3011 Mountain View Avenue N. Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Morrison briefly summarized the history of acquisition of the property and indicated that Lot B, which contains 10,500 square feet, had been deeded to his son-in-law, Mr. Greene. He stated that the proposed structure would not interfere with the value of neighboring property and was hopeful that the request would not cause dissension in the neighborhood. The Examiner asked for testimony in opposition to the application. Responding was: William I. Mendenhall 3007 Mountain View Avenue N. P.O. Box 357 Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Mendenhall reported that he resides to the south of Mr. Morrison and had spoken with Mr. Greene on March 14 regarding the proposed construction. He indicated he was opposed to the request for the following reasons: 1) A verbal agreement was made by neighbors at the time of original purchase and construction of homes to place structures ina line to prevent the obstruction of views. However, some owners had broken the agreement during sale of homes; 2) Building a residence in front of his home would not increase the value of the property, and he objected to problems of drainage and obstruction of lake view; 3) Mr. Mendenhall's residence would face directly towards the proposed residence because of the existing dogleg in the land; and 4) He did not wish to develop his property, and the development would entail negotiating with the abutting neighbor, Mr. Shane, for an easement access. Mr. Mendenhall briefly reviewed the history of acquisition of the property and expressed the desire to maintain a good relationship with his neighbors, but felt the need to conform to the original verbal agreement. Short Plat #018-77 Page Three Exception #019-77 Waiver #020-77 The Examiner inquired about the agreement. Mr. Mendenhall indicated that it was verbal, not written, but felt it was a moral, binding agreement. The Examiner reported that the Planning Department had indicated a concern regarding obstruction of views, and asked Mr. Mendenhall if the proposed low profile structure was limited to a maximum height of 15-18 feet, would it obstruct his view of the lake. Mr. Mendenhall responded that a new home would obstruct his view and expressed the concern that a precedent would be set which would increase the density of the area and obstruct views from existing residences. The Examiner asked Mr. Mendenhall if the structure could be placed on any area of the lot which would not impair the view. Mr. Mendenhall reported that the property is level from front to back and because of the dogleg, construction of a home on any area of the property would impair the view. The Examiner indicated that stipulations of the request would include submitting a site plan and elevation plan of the proposed building which would require approval by the Planning Department and the adjacent property owners. Mr. Mendenhall stated that he would contact an attorney regarding his legal rights in the matter, and indicated he would require more time to investigate all aspects of the proposal. The Examiner stated that he would desire to leave all options open in the matter and asked if Mr. Mendenhall would consider any extenuating circumstances. Mr. Mendenhall indicated his opposition and requested reservations for future action. The Examiner asked for further testimony in opposition to the request. Responding was: Charles Shane 3003 Mountain View Avenue N. Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Shane stated that should Mr. Mendenhall develop his property in the same way as the applicant's proposal, it would create a similar view-obstructing situation from his residence. He reported that purchase of his home had been made because of the desirability of owning lake front property, and felt that construction of homes on the lake front portion of the lot changed this aspect. He spoke regarding the height of the road which is approximately 16 feet above the water level and the proposed structure which would be limited to 15-18 feet, and reported that homeowners in the area had broken the verbal agreement to a certain extent with construction of boathouses and second story additions, and expressed the apprehension that the verbal agreement would be further broken if homes were sold to new owners. The Examiner asked Mr. Shane if he had considered dividing his property and Mr. Shane indicated that he had not. The Examiner asked Mr. Shane if restricting the height of the building to 18 feet would obstruct the view. Mr. Shane indicated that it would be obstructive because of the view of the roof. The Examiner asked for further testimony in opposition. There was none. The Examiner asked Mr. Greene if he had further comments in rebuttal. Mr. Greene submitted two additional exhibits: Exhibit #4: Elevation Map of Property. Exhibit #5: Site Plan with Trees Designated. He explained that the elevation map illustrated the grade from a north/south point of view and shows no difference between the grade of the Mendenhall property and the subject property, but if one stands on the property, the Mendenhall property has a slightly higher elevation than is shown on the map. He indicated that the verbal agreement had been broken by the construction of a structure on the Burr property which has been subdivided. He reported that drainage Short Pl._- #018-77 Page Four Exception #019-77 Waiver #020-77 tiles would be installed on the subject property and felt that the size of the lot of 10,500 square feet prevented a crowded appearance. He stated that he had agreed to restrictive covenants limiting the height of the structure to 15-18 feet. The applicant explained Exhibit #5, which illustrates a number of large trees including three large willow trees on the Mendenhall property, one in excess of 75 feet, which he felt were an obstruction of the view. He indicated that the Burr residence was 20 feet in height, but did not obstruct the view from the Morrison residence. With respect to the elevation, he stated the property is flat, but increases in height on a crest where existing two-story residences have been placed. The Examiner asked the applicant about the contemplated design of the structure. Mr. Greene responded that he did not plan a flat level house, but would construct a one-story home with a moderate pitched roof within the height limitation including the chimney. He indicated there would be no second addition. The Examiner suggested continuing the hearing in order to allow the applicant time to contact an architect or have a detailed elevation plan prepared. Mr. Greene indicated his concurrence and stated that he had agreed to everything the Planning Department imposed in every respect. He reported that he had contacted the King County Assessor's office to investigate property values from a tax point of view and that the new structure would not increase or decrease property values in any way. The Examiner asked if the applicant would be willing to have an architectural site plan and elevation plan prepared even if the request may be eventually denied or approved. Mr. Greene indicated his willingness to prepare the necessary plans. Mr. Morrison stated that the greatest problem with existing lake views is the presence of large trees on the Mendenhall property, and felt that the trees could be cut if the issue were the maintenance of the view. The Examiner asked Mr. Morrison if he had trees on his property and Mr. Morrison responded that one large tree exists on Lot B, and it is the intent of the applicant to top the tree. Mr. Morrison reported that a certain amount of construction had been accomplished for houses, additions, boat and bath houses, and felt that the original verbal agreement had been broken between the four homeowners in the area and was no longer valid. Mr. Smith commented that the Planning Department staff reports are prepared without contact with abutting neighbors, and felt that to be fair to all residents, site and elevation plans should be prepared to increase awareness of significant impact on existing views, and that the Planning Department would recommend that this be accomplished. He indicated that restrictions on the property would be in the form of covenants with the land, site storm water retention facilities, and that the Planning Department would not recommend approval of a condition that will detract from the view. The Examiner asked Mr. Mendenhall if these suggestions were agreeable to him. Mr. Mendenhall stated that regarding the previous discussion about view-obstructing trees, that trees are natural objects and can be removed, but houses are permanent structures and cannot be removed. The Examiner directed the comment to Mr. Mendenhall that if he were opposed to any type of construction, the Examiner would be causing needless delay to continue the hearing in order to allow preparation of the pertinent maps and plans and asked Mr. Mendenhall if he would want to hold his final decision until review of such plans. Mr. Mendenhall restated that he was opposed to construction, that he may consider development of the property at some future time, but not at the present time. The Examiner summarized the application and noted that his job is not always an easy one, and he makes every attempt when possible to arbitrate between supporting and opposing parties. He stated that both property owners have certain rights, that he would review all comments and arguments for and against the application, consider the rights of both parties and reach his conclusion. The hearing on Item #018-77, #019-77, and #020-77 was closed by the Examiner at 10:20 a.m. Short Plat #018-77 Page Five Exception #019-77 Waiver #020-77 FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: Lie Mr. Greene, the applicant, requests approval of a two lot short plat together with an exception to the Subdivision Ordinance to allow the short plat with a 20 foot easement to the proposed interior lot. A waiver of off-site improvements is also being requested. It is the proposal of Mr. Greene to construct a single family residence on the west one-half of the Morrison property. This has been designated as Lot B on Exhibit #3. Lot B is approximately 10,500 square feet in area and will access to Mountain View Ave. N. via a 20 foot easement located on the north portion of the property and shared by the Burr residence. The existing zoning in this area is G-6000, minimum lot size 6,000 square feet. The proposed short plat would be in excess of the minimum requirement for square footage. This area is known as Coleman Point and consists of approximately four homes with lots in excess of 300 feet in depth. The Morrison home is in line with the Savoy residence built to the north, the Mendenhall residence built to the south, and the Shane residence also located to the south. These homes are all located approximately 20 to 35 feet from Mountain View Avenue N. and have front yards in excess of 200 feet. The Savoy property to the north has a residence constructed on the west one-half, now known as the Burr residence. This residence was formerly a boat house that was remodeled into a cottage and then converted to a residence approximately 10 to 15 years ago. This residence was constructed prior to adoption of a short plat ordinance. Mr. Greene indicated that he proposes to build a single family residence that would not exceed a height of 15-18 feet and would be willing to submit plans and profiles illustrating his proposed residence. The four homes in this area were apparently built with similar setbacks to maintain an unobstructed view of the lake. Construction of these homes was followed by a verbal agreement made by the neighbors to prevent the obstruction of adjacent views. The Savoy residence to the north was sold and a subsequent building was constructed on the west one-half which violated the intent of the verbal agreement. Adjacent property owners are concerned about the effect the proposed structure will have on their lake views. It was noted that there are several large willow trees located on the western edge of the property which create an obstruction to the view. CONCLUSIONS : Le These homes in the Coleman Point area have all been built on lake front property with considerable depth that has a virtually unobstructed view of Lake Washington and Mercer Island. The homes are similar in character and architecture and maintain similar open space areas. This open space has been violated by the construction of the Burr residence located to the north. There was apparent opposition to the construction of this building since it violated a verbal agreement by the four adjacent property owners. Construction of additional residences in the front yard areas would change the character of this residential area and would in effect double the density. Short Plat #018-77 Page Six Exception #019-77 Waiver #020-77 4. Several property owners to the north of the applicant's property oppose the construction of a single family residence on the Morrison property. 5. These property owners with the exception of the Savoy residence have resided in this area for a considerable amount of time and have certain property rights inherent in the purchase of their residence. 6. Changing the character of this area by short platting should not be allowed if there is opposition from adjacent property owners. 7. Efforts to reach a compromise in the hearing process between supporting and opposing parties were not successful in that the opposition concurred that they would be opposed to any type of construction in the front yard areas regardless of restrictions or submittal of site plans. 8. In the future, it may be feasible to short plat this property and the adjacent property as indicated by Mr. Greene. However, this shall only be accomplished when there is concurrence by adjacent property owners to proceed with this subdivision as it will change the character of the area and infringe on certain property rights. RECOMMENDATION: For each of the above reasons, recommendation of the Hearing Examiner is to deny the submitted application. ORDERED THIS 21st day of March, 1977. Le: ames L.

D, HISTORY/BACKGROUND: The area was platted many years ago into narrow lots extending from Mountain View Ave. N. to the Inner Harbor Line. The existing house was built on two such 30 foot wide lots. The house was constructed approximately 250 feet from the water's PLANNING DEPARTMENT PRELIMINARY REPORT TO HEARING EXAMINER PUBLIC HEARING OF MARCH 15, 1977 PAGE TWO RE: G, GARY A.

The adjacent house to the north was built in approxi- mately the*same position, with a second house later construc- ted on the waterward portion of the lot subdivided from the front portion along Mountain View Ave. N. This area is called Coleman Point and is the only existing residential shoreline area in Renton that has such large lot depths to the water's edge. PHYSICAL BACKGROUND: 1. Topography: The site drops toward Lake Washington from Mountain View Ave. at a slope of approximately 6%, then levels off at approximately the center of the property. The overall elevation difference between the lower half and the upper half of the site is approximately 7-10 feet. 2. Soils: Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam (Agc) - Runoff is slow to medium, and the hazard of erosion is moderate. This soil is used for timber, pasture, row crops, and urban development. 3. Vegetation: Primarily species induced onto the site by man, together with lawn area. 4. Wildlife: Various waterfowl] and small rodents. 5. Water: The site is adjacent to Lake Washington. 6. Land Use: There is an existing single family residence on the site with approximately 250 feet of open space between the structure and the water's edge. There are single family residences both north and south of the subject site. Mountain View Ave. N. abuts the property on the east. The Burlington Northern Railroad right-of- way exists to the east of Mountain View Ave. N. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS: The area consists of single family residences, most of which are located on waterfront lots. Except for the area imme- diately on Coleman Point, most of the homes have been con- structed on lots with a relatively small amount of develop- able area. PURLIC SERVICES: 1. Water and Sewer: An 8" sanitary sewer main and a 6" water main are available to the subject site. 2. Fire Protection: Provided by the Renton Fire Department and subject to City of Renton requirements. 3. Transit: Metro Transit Route No. 240 operates along Lake Washington Blvd. and Burnett Ave. N. 4. Schools: The site is within 3/4 mile of Kennydale Elemen- tary School. 5. Parks: The subject site is within 1/4 mile of Kennydale Beach Park and Lake Washington Beach Park.

SOCIAL IMPACTS: The additional residence to the area will create new social interactions. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD ; Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental Policy Act of 1971 as amended (RCW 43.21C), a Declaration of Non-significance has been issued for the subject proposal (see attached). ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: A visinity map and site map are attached. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS; 1. The proposed lot sizes are approximately 10,500 square feet each, exceeding the requirement of 6,000 square feet for the G-6000 zone. 2. The applicant proposes to construct a low profile residence on the proposed lot. This combined with the elevation difference of adjacent properties, should not significantly impact the view waterward from adjacent properties. How- ever, height restrictions should be considered. 3. The property immediately to the north of the subject site has been subdivided in a similar arrangement and a house constructed on a pipestem-type lot. The applicant pro- poses to use this pipestem as an access easement to the proposed interior lot. The proposed overall width of this easement is 20 feet, which complies with the 20 foot mini- mum pipestem width of the Sibdivision Ordinance.

GREENE SHORT PLAT APPLICATION NO. 018-77; EXCEPTION TO SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE APPLICATION NO. E-019-77; WAIVER OF OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS APPLICATION NO. W-020-77 4. The applicant proposes to pave approximately 6 feet in addition to the existing 9 foot wide paved area to provide a total paved driveway width of approximately 15 feet. All city departments, including the Fire Department, have no objections to the short plat, exception, and waiver. 5. It may also be possible for the property owner to the south to subdivide in a similar manner. However, it does not appear to have sufficient width between structures on either side to facilitate a suitable driveway easement or pipestem. Therefore, the granting of the subject request may not set a precedent in the area. 6. No curbs, gutters, or sidewalks exist along Mountain View Ave. N. The applicant has agreed to establish restrictive covenants requiring participation of the Subens property in any LID for such improvements. 7. Sewer and water are available to the site. PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of the short plat and exception to permit the private easement as proposed subject to: 1. Final Planning Department approval of site plan design and elevation of any structure constructed on the site, with particular emphasis on height control to protect the views of adjacent properties. (Suggested maximum height of 15-18 feet.) 2. Access and utility easements shall be filed with the short plat. The access easement shall be a minimum 20 feet in width and be permanently surfaced to a width of 15 feet to allow proper fire, emergency, and vehicular access. Recommend denial of the subject waiver request as per Public Works Department comment and granting of an indefinite deferral subject to filing of restrictive covenants with the subject property to ensure its participation in a future LID for such off-site improvements. i 22 tabalelel nba 3 ; f: TTT; 4 ope ee TTT is bitin hte © SE rcareecuslibitTATT » Ce Peritchers nina ITT erin: | i SHORT PLAT; EXCEPTION TO SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE; WAIVER OF OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS: GARY A.

In connection with this short plat application we request a waiver of off-site improvements which we feel are unnecessary. There are no off-site improvements on Mountain View Avenue North at this time. If in the future they are required by the City of Renton, we will be willing to participate. Aey Aa Gary A. Greene, Applicant for fe Na. £-OVG-277 Ne 6 eppf No. SL 2LG 4648 89th Avenue Southeast Mercer Island, Washington 98040 February 10, 1977 OF RED ocey FEB 16 1977 Planning Department City of Renton City Hall Renton, Washington 98055 Attention: Hearing Examiner and City Council EXCEPTION TO SHORT PLAT OFF AN EASEMENT We are requesting an exception to the subdivision ordinance to allow a 2 lot short plat with access provided by private ease- ment to one of the lots. We feel this request is justified for the following reasons. The subject property was purchased by B.G. and Sylvia Morrison in 1947, and they have been sole owners since. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison have deeded the west 188' together with second-class shoreline adjoining to Gary and Joan Greene, for the purpose of building a low-profile home thereon. The ad- joining property to the north is owned by Robert Burr, who has access by private road from Mountain View Avenue North. Mr. Robert Burr has agreed to grant an easement for access to the west 188' of subject property and B.G. Morrison is willing to grant a 3' easement paralleling said road in order to give said easement a 20' width, and paved road a 16' width. To date a recent survey of proposed easement has not been made by a qualified engineer. If this is necessary please inform us. We know of two or three other properties on Mountain View Avenue North where two houses have joint access from Moutain View Avenue North far less desirable than this proposal submitted. With this proposal we are filing a covenant to agree to build a low-profile (one story) house, so that the view from adjoining properties will not be impaired. When Ted Jones owned the Burr property approximately fifteen years ago, he agreed to a joint easement with Mr. Morrison. However, it was not anticipated that zoning regulations would subsequently be made to prohibit this action without a request for variance. Mr. Burr is in the process of building an addition to his home and is in urgent need of new underground utility lines for his property. We propose to work together in this regard. We feel that the proposed subdivision of this property to build a low-profile house would not be contrary to the city's comprehensive plan, as the zoning is residential in this area. The lot is 188' x 60' and is larger than minimum size for a single dwelling. The access to the lot will certainly be large enough for vehicles, utilities, fire protection and water supply. The sewer line has already been established on this lot. Ae ArLernre, Gary A. Greene, Applicant DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS WHEREAS, Gary A. Greene 5 Joan Greene ; B.G. Morrison Sylvia Z.
