A proclamation by Mayor Law was read declaring September 2009, to be
"Ready in Renton Month" in the City of Renton and encouraging all residents to
prepare their homes, businesses, and community for any type of emergency.
MOVED BY TAYLOR, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE
PROCLAMATION. CARRIED.
Emergency Management Director Deborah Needham accepted the
proclamation with appreciation. She thanked the community for being
proactive regarding disaster preparedness.
Fire Chief and Emergency Services Administrator I. David Daniels awarded the
crew of Engine 13 Meritorious Unit Citations for their outstanding efforts
regarding the five-alarm fire that occurred at 900 Harrington Ave. NE on
6/30/2009. Mayor Law emphasized that the crew did an excellent job
protecting nearby homes.
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to
consider a petition for Street Vacation of a portion of right-of-way containing
approximately 12,100 square feet, located east of Lake Washington Blvd. N.,
south of N. 44th St.
Property Services Specialist Karen McFarland reported that the requested
vacation area is located immediately north of 4350 Lake Washington Blvd. N.,
the former site of Pan Abode Cedar Homes. She stated that the entire
proposed vacation area is located within a Washington State Department of
Transportation's (WSDOT) limited access control area.
August 17, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 248
Ms. McFarland reported that the proposed vacation area was quit-claimed to
the City by WSDOT on June 20,1979 (by turn-back agreement). She explained
that this was done pursuant to Chapter 78, Laws of 1977, first extraordinary
session of the Washington State Legislature.
Ms. McFarland reported that the petition was submitted by Spencer Alpert on
behalf of the Port Quendall Company on May 26, 2009. She remarked that 100
percent of the abutting property owners had signed the petition. Ms.
McFarland also reported that the applicant's statement of purpose indicated
that vacating the proposed area will enable Alpert International an opportunity
to develop the vacated area in a manner consistent and compatible with the
proposed Hawk's Landing development. It also indicated that the proposed
vacation area is currently underdeveloped, not used for travel or other right-of-
way purposes and is not reflective of the highest and best use of the property in
relation to the City's Code. The statement further indicated that approval of
the petition would not create incompatibility with the City's current
transportation system or future plans known at this time, and the proposed
vacation area would be turned into a privately-owned access point, maintained
by the adjacent property owners and project developers.
Ms. McFarland reported that there are no facilities in the area of the vacation
petition. She stated that the petition was circulated to City departments for
review and that the Surface Water Utility Division requested that the petitioner
provide an equivalent usable area, along the southwestern area of the Hawk's
Landing project site, for a stormwater quality and/or detention vault in the
future. Ms. McFarland stated that Puget Sound Energy, Qwest, Comcast, and
Integra Telecomm were contacted and that no objections to the petition were
raised. She remarked that WSDOT has approved the proposed vacation as
required by the original turn-back agreement and noted that any compensation
from the proposed vacation must be directed to the State Highway Fund under
the terms of the agreement. She also reported that access from the site to
Lake Washington Blvd. N. will be restricted to right-in, right-out and will require
a restrictive median treatment as determined and approved by WSDOT. She
re-emphasized that the proposed vacation area is within a limited access area
and that the vacation could not change WSDOT's access rights.
Concluding, Ms. McFarland recommended approval of the vacation petition
subject to the previously mentioned conditions. She stated that accordingly,
the applicant will need to contact WSDOT and obtain any necessary approvals
for any future land use changes in the requested vacation area.
Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY BRIERE,
SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL APPROVE THE VACATION

WSDOT; UNDERSTAND THAT THE VACATION DOES NOT CHANGE WSDOT'S
ACCESS RIGHTS AND THAT IT IS STILL A LIMITED ACCESS AREA CONTROLLED BY
WSDOT. CARRIED.

This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to
consider the Petition to Annex and zoning for the proposed Earlington
Annexation; approximately 100 acres located east of 80th Ave. S., north of S.
134th St.
Associate Planner Angie Mathias reported that a closing letter approving final
action for the Earlington Annexation was received from the Boundary Review
Board on 7/10/2009. She explained that a public hearing was held on 4/6/2009
and that tonight's hearing is a second hearing regarding zoning and is required
prior to effectuating the annexation.
Ms. Mathias stated that the site contains single-family homes, vacant land,
steep slopes, and a Class 4 waterway. Reviewing the site's zoning, she stated
that the existing King County zoning is R-6 (six dwelling unit per gross acre), R-8
(eight dwelling units per gross acre), and R-12 (12 dwelling units per gross acre).
She reported that the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as eligible
for residential single-family and residential medium density zoning. She stated
that the proposed City zoning for the site is R-8 (eight dwelling units per net
acre), R-10 (ten dwelling units per net acre), and R-14 (14 dwelling units per net
acre).
Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY TAYLOR,
SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

EARLINGTON ANNEXATION AREA TO R-8, CONSISTENT WITH THE RESIDENTIAL
SINGLE FAMILY DESIGNATION; AS WELL AS R-10 AND R-14, CONSISTENT WITH
THE RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM DENSITY DESIGNATION. (See pages 252 and 253 for
ordinances.)
Fire and Emergency Services Administrator Daniels explained that Agenda Item
8.j., regarding pre-declaring a disaster with respect to the potential impacts of
flooding from the Howard Hanson Dam, was being brought forward only as a
preparedness measure. He remarked that if flooding was to occur, pre-
declaring an emergency will ensure that the City will have all options regarding
resources readily available.
Tom Jones (Woodinville) stated that he represents the Cascadia Program for
regional development. He explained that Cascadia is a Seattle-based
philanthropically and government funded transportation policy think-tank
whose goal since 1993 is to be involved in and promote transportation issues
and solutions in the public interest throughout the Northwest. Mr. Jones
stated that Cascadia has been involved in the tunnel replacement for the
Seattle viaduct, ferry service throughout the Sound, high-speed rail on the
Amtrak corridor between Eugene, OR and British Columbia, and hybrid and
electric vehicle promotion.
Continuing, Mr. Jones stated that Cascadia is also involved with commuter rail
on the Renton to Snohomish BNSF railway line and remarked that Cascadia has
never believed this could be a substitute for Sound Transit's Eastlink light rail
between Seattle and Redmond. He invited City officials, staff and community
leaders to a Cascadia sponsored tour of the new Sonoma-Marin California
August 17, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 250
corridor. Mr. Jones explained that the purpose of the trip would be to answer
why their engineered costs are one quarter the cost per mile that Sound Transit
and the Puget Sound Regional Council estimate to develop the Eastlink corridor.

MOVED BY ZWICKER, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE
COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Planning and Development Committee Vice-Chair Briere presented a report
recommending concurrence in the staff recommendation to adopt an
ordinance to amend land use permit fees.
Fee increases are being proposed for several types of land use applications, for
example short plats and conditional use permits, in order to more adequately
compensate for the City's actual processing costs. In addition, the ordinance
clearly assigns responsibility to the applicant for 100 percent of the cost of a
contract biologist's review for those projects needing Critical Areas review. This
will not change building permit fees, impact mitigation fees, or public works-
related fees. In the case of annexation, fees are proposed for elimination in
order to further encourage annexations within the City's Urban Growth
Boundary. In order to maintain the City's competitive position, the proposed
fees are roughly 80 percent of the average of the fees charged by nearby
jurisdictions.
The Committee further recommended that the ordinance regarding this matter
be presented for first reading.
