PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Madison, SE accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public meeting to 139th PI & 156th Ave SE consider the 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings petition for the proposed Madison Annexation; approximately 11 acres bordered by parcel lines near SE 138th PI. on the north and SE 139th PI. on the south, and 156th Ave. SE on the east and 152nd Ave. SE on the west. Associate Planner Angie Mathias reported that the proposed Madison annexation site is within the City's potential annexation area (PAA), and contains some single-family homes and vacant land. She noted that the area contains a Class 3 stream and no regulated slopes or wetlands. Ms. Mathias stated that public services are currently provided by Fire District #25, Water District #90, Renton sewer utility, and the Renton School District. Reviewing the site's zoning, Ms. Mathias stated that the area is designated in King County's Comprehensive Plan as Urban Residential Medium (four to twelve dwelling units per gross acre) with R-4 zoning (four dwelling units per acre). She reported that the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density and was pre-zoned as R-4 zoning (four dwelling units per net acre), which would become effective upon annexation. Regarding the fiscal impact analysis, Ms. Mathias reported that current estimates for this annexation would be $7,569 in revenues and $5,879 in costs annually to the City's operating fund, which would change to $84,141 in revenues and $55,233 in costs if a projected additional 36 dwelling units were built over the next ten years. Additionally, she reported that there would be $553 in revenues and $101 in costs annually to the City's Capital and Enterprise Funds, which would change to $15,626 in revenues and $8,487 in costs if the projected build-out occurs over the ten-year period. Concluding, Ms. Mathias stated that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City annexation policies and Boundary Review Board objectives, and the City's best interests and general welfare would be served by this annexation. August 5, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 233 Public comment was invited. Marvin Bettes (Renton) expressed concern that the proposed annexation would open up for public access the gravel road nearby where he lives.

There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY ZWICKER, SECONDED BY PRINCE, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED.
