i
d Mr. Mayor Earl Clymer, Jessie Tanner-Chairman of Utilities, Gregg Zimmerman-
Utility Systems Director and City Council Members,
We received a letter from Abdoul Gafour, Water Utility Engineer asking for
$8,705.84, before he could issue us a permit to connect the Fire Sprinkler
System to the City'■ Watermain. Needless to say I called and talked to ,a
Abdoul about the large cost. He was very nice and talked to me for about an
hour.
However we would like to ask for your conside»tion to change this exorbitant
amount. We bought this building at an auctien and therefore have no recourse
to previous owners.
Since we started to change some of the inside of the building we have had to
obtain many pe,its, each one we understood why and have appreciated the interest
Randy your inspector has shown. He has brought to our attention many things the
Contractors have tried to get away with. Our knowledge is is Rental not Construc-
tion-Electricity-Heating/Air units and now Fire Sprinkler Systems. So his know-
ledge has helped to save us headaches we would have had in the future. .
If you were charging on the square footage of the building being sprinkled in-
stead of the footage of the lot, it would'nt have been quite so hard to take.
1
From what we understand because our shelving went over a certain height we had to
have the sprinkler system installed. This has cost us another $50,000.00 plus
to install. At the time we had to get the permit for the sprinkler system it
1 would have been considerate it we had known then that there was another $8,705.84
that we had to pay for connecting to the City Watermafn.
We would like you all to give your consideration to changing this ordinance.
It is a real handicap for the Business Community. We hire about 150 local
South End Residents and have been in the Community of Renton for 30 Years.
Again we ask your consideration in lowering the amount for obtaining this permit,

STAFF ASSIGNMENTS FROM COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 16 1992
Staff Description
GuilfRppd Residents of Maplewood neighborhood (SE 5th Street) expressed concern
about the preservation of the nature! areas to the north of the ;
neighborhood. Council would like answers for the meeting on Wednesday,
August 19:
(1) How the proposed Comp Plan heats this area?
(2) What potential wetlands, critical areas have been identified, and
how these environmental overlays would protect the areas from
development
(3) What is the least dense zoning that could be designated for the area
(see letter for details)
(4) What project is associated with the survey markers in the area
(Maplewood trunk line)?
Ref w 63-92
Response to Ron Forte's lets,r. Council asked for a clarified response. As
j an existing facility, why would SUCC fees charged now instead of when
the building was first build, and are the charges now an attempt to'catch"
an omission of the previous charges? What is being done to ensure fewer
/ "surprises' like this one for developers?

SUBJECT: RON FORTE'S LETTER OF AUGUST 10, 1992, PROTESTING
WATER SUCC FEE ASSESSED AGAINST PROPERTY AT
955 LIND AVENUE SW, RENTON
We are in receipt of the attached letter from Mr. Forte protesting the water special utility connection
charge (SUCC lee) assessed against the property located at the above listed address. The
assessment, as addroesnd in Abdoul Gafour's getter to Forte Rental Inc. (attached), is correct, and in
compliance with the provisions of Renton Ordinance no. 4321. The water SUCC fee is based on the
total user equity value of the water system (system inventory value minus outside contributions
including grants, L.I.D. and special assessment district (SAD) :onoibutlons, and developer
extensions). The estimated value of the nett two years of water system capital improvement projects,
as identified in our water comprehensive plan, is then added to the total user equity value. This sum is
then divided by the net developable acreage within the City of Renton, restating in a system value per
acre which is the basis of the SUCC lee. Because the fee is based on net developable acreage,
Ordinance No. 4321 assesses the tee based on lot square footage rather than building square footage
as suggested by Mr. Forte
We regret that Mr. Forte was not informed earlier of the cost of the SUCC fee. This late notification
occurred in part because this project is a tenant improvement rather than a project requiring
environmental review(SUCC fees are usually established early in the environmental review process for
projects requiring anviionmental review). Most tenant improvement projects do not require new
connections to City water. When they do, the Building Section does a good job of routing the plans
up to the Water Utility so that the SUCC fee may be assessed. In this case, it wa.. determined late In
tho process that the proposed improvements would require a fire sprinkler system for the building.
f- Incorporating a fire sprinkler system Imo this building in turn required a new connection to the City
? water system, thus triggering the SUCC fee. In oases such es this, we take pains to infoaa the
developer of the SUCC fees as soon as possible. but we are rot always aware of the need for a
connection to City water at the time of tenant improvement project application. This unfortunately can
lead to delays in assessing the tee,as it did in thi,case.

Ron Forte's Letter dated August 10, 1992 Page 2
Mr. Forte is correct in suggesting in his letter that a change in the fee assessment would have to cane
from a change to Ordinance No. 4321, or from special Council action addressing this particular
project. Although the lee may seem onerous to the applicant, it is equitable with the fees being
charged to other developers and builders throughout me City, and it does represent a fair share
contribution to the cost of the City water system,which this project will be using. We suggest that the
applicant's grievance may be due in part to the perceived burgeoning costs involved with paying this
fee on top of the cost of the sprinkler system.
Staff does not recommend or feel the need for any revisions to Ordinance No. 6321 based upon this
grievance.
Please give Gregg a call at X-6211 it you would like to discuss this matter.

Per my telephrne conversalitw with you on August 31, 1992, the City has not yet made a decision on your

that the fees be paid in full now in order for the City to issue you a construction permit to connect the Fire
sprinkler system to the C.ty's water maim since the fee assessment is in full compliance with the current City
codes. If the City'e decision is in your favor for a reduction in the assessment charges, the City will refund you

SUBJECT: AUGUSTREF #64-92: RON FORTE'S LETTER OF 1992
PROTESTING WATER SUCC FEE ASSESSED AGAINST
PROPERTY AT 955 LIND AVENUE SW, RENTON
Administration responded to City Council's initial request for a response to Mr. Forte's
letter of August 10, 1992 in the attached memorandum which was sent to
i Councilman Tanner and members of the Utilities Committee on August 14. 1992.
Upon review of this memorandum, Council has asked for a clarified response on the
following issues:
U As an existing facility, why would SUCC fees be charged now instead of when
the building was first built, and are the charges now an attempt to "catch" an
omission of the previous charges?
A Ordinance No. 2849 first introduced a water SUCC fee lit was called a
Systems Development Fee in those days) in 1974. and the fee began being
collected in 1976. Therefore, all properties developed before 1976 did not pay
a water SUCC fee. The City's policy on collecting water SUCC fees for
existing facilities that have not previously paid is contained in City Code 8-4
{ 418311)(3). which states:
i "Property that was developed before the effective data of the first connection
charge ordinance in 1974 is exempted from the connection charge. Any
rebuilding, change in use of additions to exempted property that does not
require additional water usage such that a fee hydrant, larger meter, or
irrigation meter is necessary, will not trigger a new connection charge. k
However, when property is redevelcped of the use changed or intensified such - ,r
that a larger water meter or additional water meters or a fire hydrant are
necessary, or when no water meter was obtained before, such as property on a
well, then any application for the initial water meter or a larger water meter or
installation of a fire hydrant will trigger a utility connection charge."

Mr. Forte does not list the age of the subject building in his letter, our suspicion is
that the building predates 1976. and was therefore never assessed the connection
charge. Since the current tenant remodel includes installing a fire sprinkler system and
the associated fire protection vault and meter, this remodeling is triggering the SUCC
fee for this building for the first time, in accordance with the above listed provisions of
the City Code. The assessment of the charge now is not an attempt to "catch" an
omission of the previous charges, but rather the triggering of the fee for a previously
exempt building, as the Code intends for it to be triggered.
Q What Is being done to ensure fewer "surprises' like this one for developers?
A As described in the previous memo (attached) of August 14, 1992. tenant
remodel projects like this one usually do not require new water meters, and so
do not trigger the water SUCC fee. When tenant remndei projects do require
new water meters, it requires staff diligence and careful coordination to assess
the SUCC fee enrly in the submittal process. This is because tenant remodel
j projects typically do not go through the environmental review process, and
I therefore do not automatically get routed up to the Plan Review staff of the
II Utility Division. Nor do they need to: it would be excessively cumbersome and
staff intensive if each one of these submittals got routed up to the Plan Review
and Utility stalls. Instead, there is a screening process in which the Building
1 Section counter staff examines these submittals and routes only those
j submittals requiring outside utility construction up to the Plan Review staff.
The Plan Review staff, or in some cases the Utility staff, will then assess the
SUCC fee. if it applies. The staff members involved in this screening are
extremely diligent and good at what they do, and mistakes are seldom made.
Our understanding is that there was not a mistake at the counter for the Forte
project either, but rather a late determination by review staff that a tire
sprinkler system was needed for this tenant improvement, thus resulting in
design changes that triggered the SUCC fee late in the review process. Late
changes in City review requirements can easily happen during the massive
exchange of information that takes place between the City and the applicant at
s the time of plan review. We feel that City staff does an exemplary job of
1 sorting these issues out in a ti manner. Therefore. the best action we can
M recommend to ensure fewer sr as for developers is continued diligence on
the part of the review and counter stafts, and the recognition that occasionally
an issue such as early SUCC fee assessment can slip through the first line of
drfense even with the best of intentions on this sort of project.
We hope that this helps to answer the questions that you have on this issue.

RE:City Of Renton Ordinance 94321 . -
Mr. Mayor Earl Clymer, Jessie Tanner-Chairman of Utilities, Gregg Zimmerman-
Utility Systems Director and City Council Members,
We received a letter from Abdoul Gafour, Water Utility Engineer asking for
$8,705.84, before he could issue us a permit to connect the Fire Sprinkler
System to the City's Watermain. Needless to say I called and talked to
Abdoul about the large cost. He was very nice and talked to me for about an
hour.
j However we would like to ask for your consideration to change this exorbitant
i amount. We bought this building at an auction and therefore have no recourse
to previous owners.
I
rSince we started to change some of the inside of the building we have had to
obtain any permits, each one we understood why and have appreciated the interest
Randy your inspector has shown. He has brought to our attention any things the
i Contractors have tried to get away with. Our knowledge is is Rental not Construt-
j tion-Electricity-Heating/Air units and now Fire Sprinkler Systems. So his know-
ledge has helped to save us headaches we would have had in the future.
If you were charging on the square footage of the building being sprinkled in-
stead of the footage of the lot, it would'nt have been quite ao hard to take.
From what we understand because our shelving went over a certain height we had to
have the sprinkler system installed. This has cost us another $50,000.00 plus
to install. At the time we had to get the permit for the sprinkler system it
would have been considerate if we had known then that there was another $8,705.84
that we had to pay for connecting to the City Watermain.
We would like you all to give your consideration to changing this ordinance.
It is a real handicap for the business Community. We hire about 150 local
South Rod Residents and have been in the Community of Renton for 70 Years.
Again we ask your consideration in lowering the amount for obtaining this permit.
