Renton, Wash.
Dear Mr. Blaylock,
In response to your letter of Sept. 21 and in regards to your
earlier letters of July 22, and Aug 19, I wish to seek your guidence
and assistance for legal clarifications.
In earlier discussions with Mr. Dave Clemens, acting planning
director, he stated that in no way will we be able to use N.E. 3rd
as an access point to our property either via Old Bronson Way or
connecting to Monterey Drive. With Mr. Clemems feelings so strongly
and his influential strength on the E.R.C. , I don't feel it is of much
use to hire a consultant to try and justify an already predispossed
access alternative. This leaves us really only one possible access
point, that of SR 169.
My question to you and the city of Renton is as follows: Who
has authority to allow us to use SR 169 as our access point? In a
letter we received from the Renton city's traffic dept. (copy attached)
it appears that the city has the jurisdiction over the highway.
Another letter in which the State of Washington responded to yourself,
they indicate that the access via the SR 169 is under their jurisdiction.
Until the city can give us complete assurance that we can have right
of access to our property via SR 169, we cannot proceed to respond
to your E.R.C. proposed declaration of significants. Your legal dept.
should be able to tell us who has the authority over SR 169, and if
there isreally any significant problems with access off N.E. 3rd.
We are awaiting your response so we might be able to adequately
respond to the E.R.C. request.
Sincerely,
Allen Bishop

Attention: Mr. Dan Shane
Dear Dan:
Pursuant to your telephone call of this morning, I have reviewed the
RCW's 1976 revision and found in 47.24.020(2) that the City of Renton
has jurisdiction over access to the Maple Valley Highway.
In your particular case this would not include any access which the
state purchased from you. At this point in time, it is my understanding
that your proposed access does not lie within the access rights
purchased by the state.
Personally, I believe a safer and more efficient access could be
developed along Bronson as we have discussed earlier. However, I
understand your desire to get the project underway.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Blaylock:
With reference to your June 29, 1981 letter regarding access to the
Maple Valley Highway, we have reviewed the plans and location and
have the following comments. However, because the plans did not
contain sufficient data to totally assess the impacts, our comments
should be considered only general in nature.
1) The access which would be in the best public interest
is probably via a realignment of old Bronson Way. Safe
access to N.E. 3rd Street could then be accomodated at
a signalized intersection.
2) Any access onto SR-169 would have to be limited to right-
turn in and out only unless channelization and/or a signal
were constructed.
3) Before any action is taken, the developer should be re-
quired to submit a traffic impact and safety evaluation
of the several options.
We hope this information meets your needs. If you have any further
questions, please call Bill Carter at 764-4030.

Subject: Access to NE 3rd Street via Old Bronson Way NE
Dear Mr. Shane:
Pursuant to your request for information regarding the subject access, I present
all information available to me at this time:
1 . Old Bronson Way NE was a city street prior to the construction of
FAI -405. Since that time, the roadway has served only as an access
to adjacent properties.
2. The existing zoning of properties adjacent to the Old Bronson Way
and operational characteristics of NE 3rd Street suggest the need
for intersection control at Bronson and NE 3rd.
3. The development of Monterey/Bronson and NE 3rd as a signalized
intersection as well as vehicle queues from North 3rd and Sunset
have precluded the safe and efficient movement of vehicles from
Old Bronson to NE 3rd in a full access mode. The residents of
the apartments adjacent to Old Bronson have complained continually
regarding their access to NE 3rd.
4. Unfortunately, access to the Maple Valley Highway is not significantly
better. Also, the Washington State Department of Transportation may
have some control over access to that facility; and, as it stands
now, they want to know why the City won' t allow access to NE 3rd.
The Environmental Review Committee has determined that the developer should
show by way of a professional traffic study which access is most desirable. A
retort of this nature would need not be extensive.
Frcm my standpoint, I would like to see the City evaluate extending Old Bronson
from NE 3rd to Maple Valley Highway. The WSDOT has indicated they would be very
interested in pursuing any idea which would improve traffic circulation in this
arca. The proposal would be similar to the sketches we discussed earlier. The
in' ent at NE 3rd would be to configure the intersection so that we would have
Mr. Charles Shane
Page 2

fou- legs instead of the existing five. The purpose of such a project would be
to )rovide alternate paths for southbound traffic (i .e. Maple Valley Highway,
FAI 405 southbound or the CBD) coming down NE 3rd. This would serve to reduce
congestion at North 3rd and Sunset which is a priority for the City.
As 3 temporary measure, it appears reasonable to allow a channelized right in/
rig-it out access from Bronson to NE 3rd. This may be acceptable to you.
However, it should be well documented that the problem being addressed is not
an isolated incident, but an overall situation that exists within the City of
Renton. The City, like many municipalities, does not understand the impact of
existing zoning and zoning policies on the transportation system. It is
imperative that a study be done to analyze the situation and develop appropriate
wide scale measures to bring trip generation suggested by local zoning in
corcert with the available capacity and the feasibility of providing additional
capacity to our transportation system. As I have stated previously, this can
most appropriately be pursued with a long-range (10 - 20 years) transportation
study.
I pope this resolves the questions you have and will serve your purposes . If
yot. have any additional questions, please let me know.
Very truly yours,

Decision stated the committee reviewed the Administrative decision that the
proposed use by West Coast Trucking is a bulk storage use as

RE: File No. R-045-81 ; RaMac, Inc. Request for Rezone; Request for
Reconsideration.
Dear Mr. Bishopp:
I have reviewed your request for reconsideration in the above entitled
matter, and find that there is some merit in your request as outlined
below.
The subject parcel , as you have indicated, should not be denied the natural
attributes of being located immediately adjacent to the Cedar River, and
therefore the dense landscaping buffer which was required should be
modified. Some form of landscaping is appropriate to soften the effects
of proposed development on the river' s users and the users of the park
which will be developed on the opposite shore. Therefore, landscaping
subject to review of the city's Landscape Architect will be required.
The provisions of the city's Shoreline Master Program define and delimit
the types of development which may occur adjacent to the shoreline, and
the subject proposal will have to comply with those requirements. Both
parking and commercial development must yield to those provisions, and a
shoreline Substantial Development Permit will be required.
The Planning Department indicated in its initial report that the site,
adjacent as it is to heavy industrial uses, is not reasonably suited to
continued residential purposes, and is certainly not suitable for expanded
residential purposes. In addition, traffic considerations, both on the
Maple Valley Highway and on 1-405 at the particular intersection of those
roadways, currently require limitations on residential development since
such development has a greater effect on peak hour traffic levels than
corresponding commercial development.
The applicant has the burden of demonstrating that the requested
reclassification is in the public interest, and data related to the
traffic conditions in this area was lacking from the subject application.
The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the impacts of increased
traffic on the Maple Valley Highway are capable of being mitigated by the
rezone proponents. Therefore, the limitation on further expanding the
residential density is reasonable and should not be modified.

pear "r. Kaufman:
I are in receipt of your decision in the Rezone Penuest for the
10+ or - acres of residential (P-3) land to the proposed R-1 zoning
along the Cedar River. I would like to appeal your recommendations
that you have stated in the written report.
In paraeranh 6 of the conclusion and also in naragrarh 2 of the
recommendations, it is stated that a 25 foot intense landscaped
harrier of evergreen and shrubs, adjacent to the river, he nlaced
and maintained to the annroval of the city, as to mitigate the effects
of further develonement of proposed park.
The beauty of the River should not he screened off from the north
bank to allow the few 1.110 will use the proposed nark a softer, quiet,
serene view. The developement that is planned for this area will he
a more pleasing structure than what is there presently. We will need
to design the landscanning of the site to meet the needs of the develone-
ment, the natural river side and the green belted area. However, a
25 foot restriction is an over extension of the needs and would negatively
effect the narking to a point of a very restricted developement, or no
dcvelonement.
T feel we can work the building design and the landsca»pint* to-
gether to eihance the shoreline without adversly effecting the proposed
park with less of a restricted buffer area than 25 feet.
Your reconsideration of this point would he anrreciated. I will
enclose a rendering of the proposed building herewith for Your viewing
of the tune of structure and landscanping we are proposing for develonement.
You can see tat this will not adversly effect the view from the nark side
of the rive:-.
I would like to anneal your other recommendation that of restricting
the expansion of current residential use. I feel that with the current
energy prices and the further demand toward restricting use of energy that
the concept of living close to your emnloyment will he in high demand.
With the proposed office use for this site, I don't feel we would he
adversly effecting the residential environment.

421.
REPORT AND A 4Ait4 N TO THE RENTON CITY COUNCIL.
APPLICANT: RaMAC, Inc. FILE NO. R-045-81
LOCATION: Maple Valley Highway (SR-169) between Stoneway Concrete and
LaRue property.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant seeks approval of a rezone from R-3 to B-1 for
future development of an office building, restaurant and
mini-mall .
SUMMARY OF Planning Department : Approval with restrictive covenants.
RECOMMENDATION:
Hearing Examiner: Approval with restrictive covenants.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department preliminary report was received by the
REPORT: Examiner on May 26, 1981 .
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 June 2, 1981 at 9:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton
Municipal Building.
Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner.
It was reported that the Hearing Examiner and the applicant had received and reviewed the
Planning Department report. Roger Blaylock, Associate Planner, presented the report, and
entered the following exhibits into the record:
Exhibit #1 : Application File containing Planning Department
report and other pertinent documents
Exhibit #2: King County Assessor's Map
Exhibit #3: Site Plan (Illustrative purposes only)
Responding to the Examiner's inquiry regarding removal of existing buildings from the site,
Dan Shane, applicant, stated that certain structures would be demolished through a phasing
process. He also advised concern that residential development not be restricted on the sit(
since plans include construction of a high rise commercial building containing residential
uses on the upper floors, similar to a larger structure proposed in the City of Bellevue.
The Examiner requested testimony in support or opposition to the proposal . There was no
response. He then invited final comments from the Planning Department. Mr. Blaylock
suggested that the requirement for restrictive covenants allowing B-1 uses remain in
effect, but should include a provision to limit maximum residential development on the
site to a specific density.
The Examiner requested final comments. Since none were offered, the hearing regarding
File No. R-045-81 was closed by the Examiner at 9:32 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the
Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1 . The request is for approval of a reclassification of approximately 10 acres from
R-3 (Medium Density Multifamily) to B-1 (Business/Commercial) .
2. The application file containing the application, SEPA documentation, the Planning
Department report, and other pertinent documents was entered into the record as
Exhibit #1 .
3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971 , R.C.W. 43.21 .C. , as amended, a Declaration of Non-Significance
has been issued for the subject proposal by the Environmental Review Committee,
R-045-81 Page Two
responsible official .
4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the
impact of this development.
5. All existing utilities are available and in close proximity. Depending on the nature
of development, the applicant may have to mitigate impacts upon the sewer pump plant.
6. The subject property is located on the south side of the Maple Valley Highway between
the Stoneway Concrete plant and the LaRue property.
7. The subject property is generally level , although it is below the grade of the Maple
Valley Highway. The Cedar River forms the southern boundary of the subject site.
8. The site is currently developed with an apartment/motel complex, and therefore most
of the natural vegetation has been removed from the site.
9. The subject site was annexed into the city in 1959 after a series of actions,
including annexing, withdrawing annexation and repealing the withdrawal . The site
was rezoned from its initial classification of G (General ; Single Family Residential ;
Minimum lot size - 35,000 square feet) to R-3 in March of 1961 by Ordinance No. 1878.
10. The Comprehensive Plan, currently under review, indicates that the area in which the
subject property is located is suitable for the development of medium density
multifamily dwellings and recreational uses. One of the proposed alternative uses
being considered in the review process for the subject site is a designation of
commercial for the subject site.
11 . The site was rezoned in 1961 , prior to the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in
1964-1965. The Maple Valley Highway now carrying 22,000 vehicles per day has seen
considerable growth in traffic levels since that time and is operating near capacity
Page II-18; Southeast Renton Comprehensive Plan) . 1-405 has been constructed since
the tire of the rezone.
12. The zoning districts in the area consist of two B-1 parcels located along the north
edge of the subject site along the Maple Valley Highway. These B-1 zones contain
taverns and a small grocery and are surrounded by the subject site on three sides.
There is another B-1 zone with a new office building immediately west of the subject
property. Further west are the M-P (Manufacturing Park) zone containing the Interpace
Company and the H-1 (Heavy Industry) zone containing Stoneway Concrete. North of the
subject site above the bluff is an S-1 (Single Family Residential ; Minimum lot size -
40,000 square feet) zone.
13. The subject site is located in the valley created by the Cedar River. Property both
north and south of the subject site is located on bluffs above the floor of the valley.
14. The Planning Department indicated that because of the heavy traffic on the highway,
the site's proximity to the highway, and because of the already considerable flow
of traffic along the highway, the site is no longer suitable for residential
development.
The Planning Department indicated that the adjacent uses, the business uses
immediately north and west of the site, and the heavy industrial uses west of the
site have made the area unsuitable for residential purposes. Increased and continued
residential use of the site would increase the traffic along the Maple Valley Highway
according to the Planning Department. The department therefore originally recommended
covenants to restrict the property to solely commercial uses if the rezone were
approved.
15. The city has acquired property for the proposed easterly expansion of the Cedar River
Trail just south of the subject site on the south side of the river. In addition,
the proposed park is in the Conservancy Environment under the Shoreline Master Program.
CONCLUSIONS:
1 . The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest
and will not impair the public health, safety and welfare in addition to compliance
with at least one of the three criteria listed in Section 4-3014 which provides in
part that:
a. The subject site has not been considered in a previous area-wide rezone or land
use analysis; or
b. The subject site is potentially designated for the new classification per the
R-045-81 Page Three
Comprehensive Plan; or
c. There has been material and substantial change in the circumstances in the area
in which the subject site is located since the last rezoning of the property or
area.
Under the circumstances, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposed
reclassification to B-1 should be approved with the concommitant ability to expand
residential uses on the subject site. The site should therefore be reclassified
to B-1 but restricted to commercial uses with no expansion of current residential use.
2. As the Planning Department indicated, the site was historically used for commercial
development. The uses surrounding the subject site are no longer conducive to
residential amenities, and the heavy volumes of traffic on the Maple Valley Highway
create noise, odors, light and glare problems on the subject site.
The further redevelopment of the area in residential development would not permit
the establishment of a sound, viable neighborhood as the subject property is isolated
from other residential development (Policy Element 4.A) . Entry into residential
areas should be limited to local traffic. The Maple Valley Highway is anything but
a local access street (Ibid, 4.A.7) .
Transitional areas should be converted from one use to another as soon as possible
and the new uses should be compatible with the existing uses of a district (Ibid
3.B.4) .
In addition, the further expansion of the residential density on the subject site
will tax the level of service of the Maple Valley Highway which currently serves more
than 22,000 vehicle trips per day and which, during peak hours, is used to near
capacity. The density permitted under B-1 zoning for residential development would
be up to 700 units or about 4200 additional traffic trips per day. Adequate
transportation is required under policy element l .A. l .
3. The site is currently designated for medium density multifamily development, but the
Planning Commission is reviewing that designation with consideration of commercial
status believed more appropriate. The site is isolated from other residential
communities and is surrounded by either B-1 zoning (three parcels abutting the site
are B-1 ) or M-P and H-1 districts, located immediately west of the site. These
parcels are developed with commercial and/or industrial uses which are not compatible
with residential development.
4. The Comprehensive Plan map element does not receive review in a vacuum. The Policy
Element indicates that suitable housing and living environments are to be encouraged.
The increase in traffic, the surrounding uses, the isolation from other residential
uses and the potential impact on existing traffic demonstrate that the subject site
is not suitable for expanded residential development and is more suitable for
commercial development.
5. Since the applicant has applied for the reclassification, and the Planning Department
indicated that the site is not suitable for residential development, restrictive
covenants should be executed which restrict the use of the subject property to
commercial uses.
6. The proximity of the site to the Cedar River and the fact that portions of the site
are designated for recreational uses require that the applicant protect the river and
Conservancy Environment of the proposed adjacent park and trail from the visual
effects of development. Therefore, the applicant should intensely landscape the
25 feet immediately adjacent to the river with sight-obscuring evergreen trees and
shrubs planted to approximate natural riparian vegetation. This will mitigate
the effects of further development on the proposed park.
7. The proposed B-1 classification will expand the existing and surrounding B-1 district
and make one large uniform commercial node for compatible development. The B-1
classification requested is therefore consistent with surrounding zoning and is
compatible with the goals and policies of the existing Comprehensive Plan if not
entirely consistent with the map element. The site has outlived its usefulness as
an acceptable residential community and would better serve the public health, safety
and welfare if business and commercial uses were established on the subject site.
t
R-045-81 Page Four
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council should approve the request to reclassify the subject property from R-3
to B-1 subject to the following conditions:
1 . The execution of restrictive covenants which limit development on the subject site
to those business and commercial uses permitted within the B-1 zone and barring further
expansion of residential uses on the subject property.
2. The execution of restrictive covenants providing for the installation and maintenance
of a 25-foot landscape buffer along the southern boundary of the subject site adjacent
to the Cedar River. Such landscaping shall approximate the natural riparian vegetation
of t e shoreline and shall be subject to the approval of the city's landscape architect.

southeast.
2. Soils: Urban land (Ur) is soil that has been modified
by disturbance of the natural layers with additions
of fill material several feet thick to accommodate
large industrial and housing installations. The
erosion hazard is slight to moderate. Riverwash (Rh)
consists of long, narrow areas of sand, gravel
and stones along channels of the layer streams.
Some areas are barren of vegetation and others
support scattered cottonwoods , willows, and other
trees and shrubs. Overflow and alteration by severe
erosion and deposition are frequent.
3. Vegetation: Most of the natural vegetation has
been removed through previous development. However,
some shrubs and a few trees are located adjacent
to the river bank.
4. Wildlife: The subject site presently does not
provide suitable wildlife habitat.
5. Water: Although no surface water was observed
on the subject site, the Cedar River is adjacent
to the southerly boundary. (May 22 , 1981 )
6.i
Land Use: Existing land uses on the site consist
of apartments , a motel, and a tavern. The Maple
Valley Highway and a steep embankment are to the
north while a sand and gravel operation and service
station are adjacent on the east. To the south
is the Cedar River with a brick manufacturing plant
on the south side and a cement and gravel facility
to the west.
E. o 'IGHBWrOOD CHARACTERISTICS:
The surrounding properties are a combination of commercial,
light industrial, and some multiple family residential
land uses.
F. PUBLIC SERVICES:
1 . Water and Sewer : A 12-inch water main and the
Metro Gravity sewer are located on the Maple Valley
Highway adjacent to the subject site while several
8-inch sanitary sewers also traverse the property.
2. Fire Protection: Provided by the City of Renton
as per ordinance requirements.
3. Transit: Metro Transit Routes No. 143 and 912
operate along the Maple Valley Highway adjacent
to the subject site.

I . IMPACT ON THE NATURAL OR HUMAN ENVIRONMENT:
1 . Natural Systems: Rezoning the subject site will
not directly affect the property. Future development
will remove the vegetation, disturb the soils,
increase storm water runoff and have an effect
on traffic and noise levels in the area. Through
proper development controls and procedures, however,
many of these impacts can be mitigated.
2. Population/Employment: Rezoning will have no direct
impact on population or employment. However, future
use of the site will have to be addressed upon
specific development.
3. Schools : Not applicable.
4. Social: Increased opportunities for social interaction
would result with completion of the proposed facilities.
5. Traffic : Since the specific type and size of structures
to be built are presently unknown, these impacts
would better be addressed at the time of future
construction.
J. E 1I*#iv'ow AL ASSESS '/'7 H RES I OLD DETERMINATION:
Pursuant to the City of Renton ' s Environmental Ordinance
and the State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, as amended,
RCW 43-21C, the Environmental Review Committee on May 11 ,
1981 , issued a declaration of non-significance for the
subject proposal.
K. AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS CONTACTED:
1 . City of Renton Building Division.
2. City of Renton Engineering Division.
3. City of Renton Traffic Engineering Division.
4. City of Renton Utilities Division.
5. City of Renton Fire Department.
L. PLANING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1 . The proposed rezone request from R-3, Multiple
Family Residential to B-1 , Business Use, is not
specifically consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan designation of Medium Density Multiple Family
Residential.

2. Modification of this land use classification to
Business Use is being considered by the Northeast
Quadrant Committee based upon physical changes
in the area since it last evaluated in 1965.
3. The Hearing Examiner is required to find that one
of three criteria for a rezone has been complied
with under Section 4-3014 (C) (1 ) . Since the subject
site is not specifically classified by the Comprehensive
Plan, the justification for the rezone request
must rest in the fact that the site has not been
specifically considered at the time of the last
area land use analysis (Section 4-3014 (C) (1 ) (a) )
or that physically changes both public or private
have affected the subject property (Section 4-3014
C) (1 ) (c) ) .
4. The site was rezoned in 1961 prior to the adoption
of the Comprehensive Plan and has not specifically
been considered since, thus complying with Section
4-3014 (C) (1 ) (a) . All construction on the site
was completed prior to 1967.
The subject site has in fact been used for commercial
purposes for the last 50 years. The physical setting
of the subject site has changed in the last 20
years with the construction of I-405 and the widening
of SR 169 , the Maple Valley Highway. The site
is now bordered on the north by a major arterial
that handles in excess of 22 ,000 cars daily. Thus
appearing to satisfy Section 4-3014 (C) (1 ) (c) .
6. The site has two physical boundaries, which isolate
it from nearby residential uses. The Maple Valley
Highway with the steep embankment to the north
separates the subject site from the proposed ERADCO
residential development and Monterry Terrace, while
the Cedar River separates the site from the potential
residential developments on the north side of Renton
Hill. Therefore, the fact that the site is isolated
from existing and proposed residential developments
suggests that the request is not detrimental to
the public welfare.
7. Adjacent uses to the subject site suggest that
the present residential designation may be detrimental
in itself. Both Stoneway Concrete and the Interpace
Corporation are considered to be heavy industrial
in character and even though the subject site has
functioned in a semi-residential character as an
apartment-motel for a substantial period of time,
we must question the quality of that residential
community in relationship to the goals and policies
of the Comprehensive Plan.
8. The residential character of the site has been
intruded upon by rezoning and construction of commercial
uses . Ordinance Nos. 1878 (1961 ) , 2207 (1966)
and 2238 (1966) have all precipitated development
of commercial uses , a mini-retail center, office
building, and tavern respectively.
9. The residential goal is "TO ENCOURAGE SUITABLE
HOUSING AND LIVING ENVIRONMENTS. " The increase
in traffic as a result of the construction of a
major state highway and the commercial and industrial
activities in the vicinity imply that any residential
use of the site is inappropriate and as a result
of its isolation is potentially more suitable for
commercial, as opposed to residential development.

10. The Policies Element of the Comprehensive Plan
states :
Commercial Goal: To promote attractive, convenient,
viable systems of commercial facilities.
Commercial Areas Objective: Sound commercial areas
should be created and/or maintained and declining
areas revitalized.
The applicant ' s proposal to convert the existing
motel-apartment use to office space (See SM-088-81 )
meets this objective.
Policies :
Commercial zoning should only be allowed to the
extent of short-term needs.
The applicant ' s proposal to phase redevelopment
on the property from the existing use to offices
demonstates a desire to carefully but actively
improve the property. The site lends itself to
non-retail commercial uses thus relieving pressure
for office use on other more appropriate retail
sites such as the central business district and
along Grady Way.
To improve access, planned clusters of commercial
development should be encouraged, and commercial
strip areas should be discouraged.
The sites physical constraints insure clustered
rather than strip development.
Commercial areas should be located and designed
to minimize travel and congestion and to promote
safety.
Retail or office/service uses of the site will
reduce peak hour traffic demand on Maple Valley
Highway as discussed in the Declaration of Non-
Significance.
To minimize traffic congestion, commercial areas
should not be located near facilities that require
a high degree of safety and traffic control.
As noted above, peak traffic demand will be reduced
with potential for improved safety and reduced
traffic congestion.
M. DEPARTMENTAL R D. illaNDATION:
Based upon the above analysis, it is recommended that
the Hearing Examiner recommend to the City Council that
the requested rezone, File No. R-045-81 , from R-3 to
B-1 , Business Use, be approved subject to the filing
of restrictive covenants which preclude the use of the
subject property for residential uses and thus circumventing
the benefits to the City in traffic safety and public
service.

RE: File No. R-045-81 ; RaMac, Inc. Request for Rezone; Request for
Reconsideration.
Dear Mr. Bishopp:
I have reviewed your request for reconsideration in the above entitled
matter, and find that there is some merit in your request as outlined
below.
The subject parcel , as you have indicated, should not be denied the natural
attributes of being located immediately adjacent to the Cedar River, and
therefore the dense landscaping buffer which was required should be
modified. Some form of landscaping is appropriate to soften the effects
of proposed development on the river' s users and the users of the park
which will be developed on the opposite shore. Therefore, landscaping
subject to review of the city's Landscape Architect will be required.
The provisions of the city's Shoreline Master Program define and delimit
the types of development which may occur adjacent to the shoreline, and
the subject proposal will have to comply with those requirements. Both
parking and commercial development must yield to those provisions, and a
shoreline Substantial Development Permit will be required.
The Planning Department indicated in its initial report that the site,
adjacent as it is to heavy industrial uses, is not reasonably suited to
continued residential purposes, and is certainly not suitable for expanded
residential purposes. In addition, traffic considerations, both on the
Maple Valley Highway and on 1-405 at the particular intersection of those
roadways, currently require limitations on residential development since
such development has a greater effect on peak hour traffic levels than
corresponding commercial development.
The applicant has the burden of demonstrating that the requested
reclassification is in the public interest, and data related to the
traffic conditions in this area was lacking from the subject application.
The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the impacts of increased
traffic on the Maple Valley Highway are capable of being mitigated by the
rezone proponents. Therefore, the limitation on further expanding the
residential density is reasonable and should not be modified.

pear "r. Kaufman:
I am in receipt of your decision in the Rezone nenuest for the
10+ or - acres of residential (P-3) land to the proposed R-1 zoning
along the Cedar River. I would like to appeal your recommendations
that you have stated in the written report.
In naragranh 6 of the conclusion and also in naragrarh 2 of the
recommendations, it is stated that a 25 foot intense landscanned
harrier of evergreen and shrubs, adjacent to the river, he n]aced
and maintained to the annroval of the city, as to mitigate the effects
of further develonement of proposed parks.
The beauty of the River should not he screened off from the north
ban'. to allow the few who will use the nroposed park a softer, nuiet,
serene view. The developement that is nlanned for this area will be
a more pleasing, structure than what is there Presently. We will need
to design the lardscanning of the site to meet the needs of the develone-

25 foot restriction is an over extension of the needs and would negatively
effect the narking to a point of a very restricted develonement, or no
develonement.
I feel we can work the building design and the landsca'nins* to-
gether to chance the shoreline without adversly effecting the Proposed
part- with less of a restricted buffer area than 25 feet.
Your reconsideration of this point would he anpreciated. I will
enclose a rendering of the nrorosed building herewith for your viewing
of the tvne of structure and landscapning we are proposing for develonement.
You can see Lhat this will not adversly effect the view from the nark side
of the river.
I would like to anneal your other recommendation that of restricting
the expansion of current residential use. I feel that with the current
energy prices and the further demand toward restricting use of energy that
the concept of living close to your emnloyment will be in high demand.

HEARING EXAMINER

Mr. Fred Kaufman AM PM
Hearing Examiner 7,R,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6
City of Renton d
Dear Mr. Kaufman:
I am in receipt of your decision in the Rezone Request for the
10+ or - acres of residential (R-3) land to the proposed B-1 zoning
along the Cedar River. I would like to appeal your recommendations
that you have stated in the written report.
In paragraph 6 of the conclusion and also in paragraph 2 of the
recommendations, it is stated that a 25 foot intense landscanped
barrier of evergreen and shrubs, adjacent to the river, be placed
and maintained to the approval of the city, as to mitigate the effects
of further developement of proposed park.
The beauty of the River should not be screened off from the north
bank to allow the few who will use the proposed park a softer, quiet,
serene view. The developement that is planned for this area will be
a more pleasing structure than what is there presently. We will need
to design the landscapping of the site to meet the needs of the develope-
ment, the natural river side and the green belted area. However, a
25 foot restriction is an over extension of the needs and would negatively
effect the parking to a point of a very restricted developement, or no
developement.
I feel we can work the building design and the landscapping to-
gether to alliance the shoreline without adversly effecting the proposed
nark with less of a restricted buffer area than 25 feet.
Your reconsideration of this point would he appreciated.. I will
enclose a rendering of the proposed building herewith for your viewing
of the type of structure and landscapping we are proposing for developement.
You can see that this will not adversly effect the view from the park side
of the river.
I would like to appeal your other recommendation that of restricting
the expansion of current residential use. I feel that with the current
energy prices and the further demand toward restricting use of energy that
the concept of living close to your employment will be in high demand.
With the proposed office use for this site, I don't feel we would be
adversly effecting the residential environment.
With the current zoning of the adjacent properties, that of heavy
industry and B-1, where there are no restrictions on the residential

of both commercial offices and residential. Therefore, I would request
that you reconsider this point in your recommendations.

COMMENTS :
Introduction The State Environmental Policy Act of 1971 , Chapter 43.21C , RCW, requires
all state and local governmental agencies to consider environmental values both for their
own actions and when licensing private proposals . 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
explanaticn 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.

dA BRIEF HISTORICAL SYNOPSIS OF THE PROPERTY
In the early 1930 ' s Cottonwood Grove was built and operated
as a resort, motel and dance hall. The property was thus used
as a commercial property site by Cottonwood Grove until sold in the
late 1950 ' s to C. F. Shane. Mr. Shane in 1959 built 63 apartments
on the most easterly portion of the property. In 1962 for the
Seattle World ' s Fair , the Riviera Motel was built. This motel had
96 units and was located on the most westerly portion of the
property. The motel is still in operation today. The Riviera
enter was built in 1962 and comprised a Tavern, Grocery Store,
3arber Shop and Restaurant. In 1966, 70 additional apartments
were built in the middle of the complex. In 1967, the Sahara
Tavern was built and put into operation. This property has been
basically used for commercial purposes for at least the last 50
ears.
The surrounding properties have been in various commercial
usages for many years. The property to the west has been used
since the early 1940 ' s by Stoneway and Renton Concrete as light
industrial manufacturing and dispersment facility. The property
to the south (south side of Cedar River) since early 1900 ' s has been
3 brick manufacturing plant. The property to the east has been
a sand and gravel operation and at present there is a gas station.
The property to the north is a steep sloped embankment and has
little use but as a green belted area.
Maple Valley Highway (SR169) has a traffic pattern of over
22,000 cars per day. The high traffic count will continually
increase with future building efforts to the east in Fairwood
and Maple Valley.
