SPECIAL PRESENTATION
AJLS: Mayor's Presentation of
2008 Budget
Mayor Keolker presented her proposed City of Renton 2008 Budget to Renton
citizens and members of the City Council. She indicated that the budget
message, "Building for the Future," realizes the City's vision, reflects the policy
direction of the Council, and strengthens the foundation of the City.
Stating that the proposed 2008 Budget totals $223,702,220, Mayor Keolker
pointed out that $63,351,567 represents the capital budgets, $86,747,342 the
General Government budget, and $73,603,311 the budget for other operating
funds. The 2008 Budget anticipates sales tax revenues to grow by 7.6 percent
over the 2007 Budget, and the capital budget includes improvements in
November 5, 2007 Renton City Council Minutes Page 380
transportation, parks, and other enhancements to facilities and utilities. The
budget also proposes eight new positions within General Government and 7.7
positions within Utility Funds.
The Mayor reviewed the 2007 accomplishments, noting that Renton's increase
in taxable retail sales is expected at over 7 percent by the end of 2007, and its
housing stock has increased by 20 percent since 2000. The accomplishments
include: The Landing Phase I; the opening of the Small Business Development
Center; the completion of the South Lake Washington infrastructure
improvements; the opening of Heritage Park; the commencement of
construction on the Springbrook Creek Wetland Mitigation Bank; the launching
of the Visitor Information and Downtown Assistance pilot program for the
Renton Transit Center; and the commencement of the Renton Heart Month
campaign.
Mayor Keolker reported that if the proposed Benson Hill Communities
Annexation is approved, the area will become a part of Renton on 3/1/2008 and
add nearly 17,000 new residents. She noted that a separate plan and
recommended budget was prepared that proposed adding 91 employees, along
with related equipment and materials, for a total cost of $10 million. The
additional revenue generated by this area is estimated to be $8.9 million, and
the State will help pay for the difference for a period of ten years. The Mayor
stressed that the City will maintain existing service levels to current residents.
Continuing, Mayor Keolker reviewed proposed changes to public safety, which
includes changing the service model and structure of the Fire Department, and
implementing a police cadet program. Turning to affordable housing, the
Mayor said the budget proposes establishing a fund for affordable housing, and
establishing a homebuyer assistance program. Regarding economic
development, Mayor Keolker pointed out that the budget includes funds to
provide staffing for special events in downtown such as the Farmers Market,
and for additional landscaping in the City's rights-of-way.
Mayor Keolker reviewed the budget's provisions for basic services and for
utilities. She noted the adoption of an increase in utility rates to pay for
maintenance, needed capital improvements, and compliance with the federally
mandated National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit
requirements.
Mayor Keolker described the new community accountability effort being
introduced with the 2008 Budget, known as "Renton Results," which defines
the core services that the City provides to meet the needs of the community. In
conclusion, she thanked City staff for their efforts, and the community for
continuing to offer ideas about how to make Renton even better. Mayor
Keolker emphasized that safe neighborhoods and streets, job opportunities and
a strong economy, and sound fiscal management are the principal foundations
of the City's continued prosperity.
PUBLIC HEARING
Annexation: Marshall, Duvall
Ave NE & NE Sunset Blvd
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public hearing
to consider annexation and R-8 zoning of 7.6 acres located adjacent and
immediately west of Duvall Ave. NE, just north of the commercial development
at the northwest corner of Duvall Ave. NE and NE Sunset Blvd. The western
boundary is Anacortes Ave. NE, if extended, and the northern boundary is NE
17th St., if extended (Marshall).
November 5, 2007 Renton City Council Minutes Page 381
Senior Planner Erickson explained that 26 single-family dwellings exist on this
unincorporated island area, and public services are currently provided by Fire
District #25, Renton water and sewer, and the Renton School District. Existing
King County zoning is R-4 (four dwelling units per gross acre), and the Renton
Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Residential Single Family, for
which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. He pointed
out that the Planning Commission reviewed possible commercial zoning along
Duvall Ave. NE, but recommended holding off until the widening of the street
occurs.
Turning to the fiscal impact analysis that assumes 26 existing single-family
homes and 17 new single-family homes, Mr. Erickson estimated a deficit of
$3,009 at current development and a surplus of $4,429 at full development.
The one-time parks acquisition and development cost is estimated at $33,102.
He concluded that the annexation proposal is consistent with City policies and
Boundary Review Board objectives.
Public comment was invited.
Charles Grass (Renton) encouraged the City to change the zoning along Duvall
Ave. NE to commercial sooner rather than later.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY LAW,
SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CARRIED.
MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL
EFFECTUATE THE 7.6-ACRE MARSHALL ANNEXATION AND HOLD
FIRST AND SECOND READINGS OF THE ANNEXATION AND R-8
ZONING ORDINANCES ON 11/19/2007. CARRIED.
APPEAL
Committee of the Whole
Appeal: Beclan Place
Preliminary Plat, Beck, PP-07-
041
Council President Nelson presented a Committee of the Whole report regarding
the Beclan Place Preliminary Plat appeal. The Committee met on this appeal
on 10/22/2007. Committee member Terri Briere was not present. The
Committee found that there is substantial error in fact and law in the Hearing
Examiner's recommendation to the City Council and therefore, the Committee
recommended that the Hearing Examiner's recommendation be rejected and
instead, Council grant approval of the appellant's request subject to the
conditions listed below.
The subject property is the Beclan Place Preliminary Plat located at 255 Jericho
Ave. NE and Hoquiam Ave. NE. The applicant/appellant, Steve Beck,
submitted an application to subdivide this 7.1-acre site into 31 lots for future
single-family homes. The property is located in the R-4 zone, but is vested to
R-5 standards. In its report to the Hearing Examiner, City staff recommended
approval of the plat subject to eight specific conditions, which were set out in
its
report dated 8/14/2007. Condition No. 5 required the applicant to revise the
preliminary plat map "to reflect an alley loaded layout for review and approval"
pursuant to City Code 4-7-150(E)(5). On 8/30/2007, the Hearing Examiner
held a hearing on this matter and concluded that "This office cannot
recommend approval of this plat as currently configured." The Hearing
Examiner thus, recommended denial of the Beclan Plan Preliminary Plat
application unless the applicant was to submit another application with an alley
access.
November 5, 2007 Renton City Council Minutes Page 382
Appellant Beck cited errors of fact and law by the Hearing Examiner.
Although the appellant acknowledged the City Code provision's preference for
alley-loaded access, he believed that the requirement to place an alley in his
subdivision was not feasible for various reasons. These reasons included: an
increase in impervious surface area causing additional storm detention needs,
increased criminal activity resulting from alleys in residential neighborhoods,
additional financial burdens in having to reconfigure and lose available lots and
safety issues resulting from conflicts in turning movements, and likely traffic
backup.
The Committee's recommendation decision is solely limited to the record, the
Hearing Examiner's report, the notice of appeal, and additional submissions by
parties per City Code 4-8-110(F)(6). No new or additional testimony or
evidence can be considered per City Code 4-8-110(F)(5). Based on the
foregoing, the Committee found that a substantial error in fact and law exists in
the record.
The Committee reached this decision based on all the factors presented by the
appellant, in that when taken as a whole and viewed under the totality of the
circumstances, the requirement of an alley in the Beclan Plat is not feasible.
Furthermore, the Committee found that the Hearing Examiner incorrectly
applied what is "feasible" in attempting to interpret what the Council intended
in the context of City Code 4-7-150(E)(5). Therefore, the Committee
recommended that City Council reject the Hearing Examiner's recommendation
to deny the plat, and recommended approval of the plat without the requirement
of an alley loaded access. The Committee further recommended that the
approval of the plat shall still be subject to conditions No. 1 through 4 and 6
through 8 set forth in the City staff's 8/14/2007 report.
Additionally, the Committee recommended that Council refer City Code
Section 4-7-150(E)(5) to the proper Committee to re-evaluate the ordinance to
determine whether an amendment is necessary to limit the application of this
provision to small lot subdivisions, or in the alternative, to recommend alternate
changes to the language of this ordinance. MOVED BY NELSON,
SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE
REPORT. CARRIED.
ADMINISTRATIVE
REPORT
Chief Administrative Officer Covington reviewed a written administrative
report summarizing the City’s recent progress towards goals and work
programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2007 and beyond. Items noted
included:
City Hall Information Desk Volunteers were recently presented certificates
of appreciation at a dinner hosted by City Clerk Division staff. Since the
program's establishment in 1984, volunteers have given over 53,000 hours
of excellent service to the City.
The second "Ahead of the Curve" job fair for The Landing will be held on
November 13 at Renton Technical College.
The Renton Fire Department reminds everyone that working smoke
detectors save lives and a malfunctioning smoke detector provides a false
sense of security.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency will host a public meeting on
the new preliminary floodplain maps on November 8 at City Hall.

AUDIENCE COMMENT
Citizen Comment: Petersen -
Highlands Area
Redevelopment
Inez Petersen (Enumclaw) commented on the need for better maintained
pavement on City streets, and also on the declaration of blight and community
renewal discussed last year by the City regarding the Highlands area
redevelopment.
Councilman Clawson commented on the past consideration of the State
Community Renewal Act as an option for the Highlands area redevelopment,
noting that Council determined not to proceed with using the Act. He further
noted that one of the reasons the Act was considered was to preserve affordable
housing in the Highlands area.
Citizen Comment: Wagner -
2007 Comprehensive Plan
Amendments
Christopher Wagner (King County), who is a resident of Huntington Heights
Condominium (SE 176th St.) in the Benson Hill Communities Annexation area,
opposed the commercial prezoning of the Village Chapel property located at
17418 108th Way SE (2007 Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2007-M-06). He
expressed his fear that the commercial zoning designation will disrupt the
peacefulness of the neighborhood, especially if the church sells the property.
Listing reasons why the proposed commercial zoning does not meet
Comprehensive Plan policy criteria, Mr. Wagner indicated that a Residential
Medium Density land use designation is the only appropriate designation for
any parcel located on 108th Way SE.
Citizen Comment: McOmber -
Highlands Community
Association
Howard McOmber (Renton) expressed appreciation for the City's help in
improving the Highlands area, and commented that he is grateful the
declaration of blight was not used. Mr. McOmber invited everyone to attend
the Highlands Community Association's Emergency Preparedness Workshop,
which will be held on November 14 at the Highlands Neighborhood Center.
Noting that the Highlands is one of the more vulnerable areas in the City due to
the diversity of the residents, he voiced his hope that this workshop is the first
of many to come.
