He thanked the City for supporting its employees serving in the Guard and Reserves. September 14, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 262 ADDED SPECIAL PRESENTATION Community Services: Off- Leash Dog Park PUBLIC MEETING Annexation: Kendall, NE 4th St & 152nd Ave SE Community Services Administrator Terry Higashiyama explained that a request for funds to implement an off-leash dog park was made approximately one year ago. She announced that through matching private funds and with the help of passionate and dedicated volunteers, the park has become a reality and is now open. Todd Black, Capital Projects Coordinator, invited City officials, staff, and residents to the grand opening of the Cedar River Off-Leash Dog Park Saturday, September 19, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. He stated that the project has been a great public/private endeavor and thanked the group "Renton's Off-Leash Furry Friends (RUFF)" for their support. Community organizer Kevin Poole remarked that the vast majority of the money spent on the dog park was privately raised. He expressed appreciation to City officials, local businesses, and volunteers for their support and stated that the dog park has added to the quality of life in Renton. 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 meeting to consider the 10% Notice of Intent to Annex petition for the proposed Kendall Annexation; 27.66 acres, generally located south of NE 4th St., west of 152nd Ave. SE. Assistant Planner Kris Sorensen reported that the annexation site contains seven single-family homes, one commercial development, a fire station, and three parks parcels owned by King County. He stated that public services are currently provided by Fire District #25, Water District #90, Renton sewer service, and the Issaquah School District. Reviewing the site's zoning, Mr. Sorensen stated that the existing King County zoning is R-4 (four dwelling units per gross acre). He reported that the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as eligible for residential low density zoning and pointed out that the site was pre-zoned R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre) which will become effective upon annexation. Mr. Sorensen remarked that there are three parcels of parks space that are owned by King County within the proposed annexation area. He stated that they are designated as a Regional Park, are part of the proposed Cedar River to Lake Sammamish Trail and will not be mothballed. He noted that King County may transfer the parcels to the City in the future. Mr. Sorensen reported that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City annexation policies and Boundary Review Board objectives. Regarding the fiscal impact analysis, he stated that a deficit of $2,308.52 is estimated at current development and a minor surplus of $287 is estimated at full development. Regarding staff comments, Mr. Sorensen reported that the Surface Water Division noted that future development should be required to meet 2005 King County Surface Water Standards or the City equivalent. Transportation Systems Division noted that the NE 4th St. corridor would extend to the proposed annexation area, 156th Ave. SE would be a minor arterial road, and the City would assume ownership and responsibility of the NE 4th St and 156th Ave. SE intersection. No other concerns were expressed. Septembers, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 263 PUBLIC HEARING CED: Real Estate Sign Kiosk Pilot Program Responding to an inquiry from Councilmember Briere, Mr. Sorensen clarified that the City does not include park lands in its buildable lands analysis. He noted that there are a number of vacant parcels in the area that may be redeveloped if annexed. Correspondence opposing the inclusion of the three King County parks parcels in the proposed annexation area was received from Janice and Larry Faris (Renton). Public comment was invited. Janice Faris (Renton) submitted a revised a letter to the City Clerk and raised the following questions: 1) are the parcels part of the King County Comprehensive Plan, 2) has King County Parks, the Department of Natural Resources and Parks, and the King County Council been apprised of the annexation proposal, 3) what is the stated purpose of the annexation by the proponents, and 4) has the proposed land been surveyed or studied by any local, state or federal entity as a wetlands sensitive area. She stated that she would like to see the parcels preserved as the County originally intended. Community and Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch stated that King County has designated the parcels as regional in nature, that they are not on the County's list to be mothballed, and that in the past there has been discussion about the possible sale of the parcels to the City. He emphasized that whether the land belong to King County or the City, there is not an opportunity for these parcels to be developed commercially and there is no intention to sell them for private development. Steven A. Beck (Renton) stated that he is the proponent of the proposed annexation and requested that Council approve the annexation and allow it to move forward to the Boundary Review Board. Josaphat Hong (King County) remarked that he has lived in the proposed annexation area for over 20 years and requested that Council approve the annexation. Paul Swanson (Renton) stated that he bought his home because it backs up to the King County parks parcels, and he enjoys feeding the birds in the area. He also remarked that he is relieved to hear that the parks parcels will not be redeveloped. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE 10% NOTICE OF INTENT PETITION FOR THE KENDALL ANNEXATION, WAIVE THE ANNEXATION FEE, AUTHORIZE THE CIRCULATION OF A 60% DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX SPECIFYING THAT SIGNERS SUPPORT FUTURE ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THE AREA, AND THAT SIGNERS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO ASSUME THEIR PROPORTIONAL SHARE OF THE CITY'S EXISTING OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS. 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 Real Estate Sign Kiosk Pilot Program. September 14, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 264 Community and Economic Development Administrator Pietsch announced that the City has been working with the Master Builders Association on a proposal to help local real estate developers and realtors get customers to properties that are for sale without burdening the streetscape with a proliferation of signage. He remarked that if the pilot program is adopted, the City would become the first community in Washington State to use the unique program. Associate Planner Jerry Wasser stated that signs are useful aids for potential home buyers to locate new residential developments; however, having too many signs makes wayfinding difficult and adds to visual clutter. He remarked that due to subdivision activity in the Renton Highlands, NE 4th St. and Sunset Blvd. have become particularly noteworthy for such clutter. Mr. Wasser stated that in order to provide a uniform and recognizable wayfinding system, the Master Builders Association proposed a pilot program for Real Estate Sign Kiosks. He reported that the sign program is modeled after similar programs in Arizona and California, and the kiosks would be placed primarily in public right-of-way and oriented towards vehicle drivers. Mr. Wasser acknowledged that there is the potential for kiosks to be placed on private property, which would require permission from property owners. Mr. Wasser displayed an example of a Real Estate Kiosk Sign and remarked that the kiosk would be up to ten feet high and five feet wide containing up to ten directional panels, two of which would be reserved for providing directions to public facilities. Mr. Wasser reported that a master use agreement would be necessary in order for the Master Builders Association to build and install the kiosks within public right-of-ways and noted that 27 potential locations have been identified. He indicated that the signs would be limited to locations along NE 4th St., SR 900, Sunset Blvd., SE 95th Way, and NE 27th/30th St. He stated that the Master Builders Association responsibilities include applying annually for a permit for each kiosk, maintaining and repairing the signs, and leasing the individual directional panels to residential developers. Concluding, Mr. Wasser stated that the proposed code amendments include a provision that states that the pilot program will sunset in three years, and at that time an evaluation will be prepared to help determine whether or not the program should be extended. Responding to Council President's Corman's inquiry, Mr. Wasser clarified that the directional panels would include the name of the development and a directional arrow, but not necessarily the distance to the development. He stated that the intent of the program is to lead buyers from development to the next development further down the road. Public comment was invited. Garret Hoffman (Bellevue), President, Master Builders Association, expressed support for the kiosk program. He explained that the program is intended to help jumpstart the residential housing market by getting buyers to housing developments, thereby increasing sales. He requested Council's support for the program. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

Mr. Parker thanked City officials and staff and presented Marisa Mikelsons a Certificate of Appreciation for her assistance and support. Mayor Law presented Councilmember Parker a Certificate of Appreciation and applauded his achievement. Howard McOmber (Renton) stated that although he appreciates that a Sunset Area Community Barbecue and Open House was conducted in the Renton Highlands, he believes that there was not enough time for people to completely understand the implications of the suggested improvements that were made at the meeting. He also expressed opposition to the closure of any streets in the Highlands as residents need a way to drive to their homes.
