PUBLIC HEARING
a) Parker Annexation (A‐13‐001) ‐ 60% Petition: 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 60% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation
Proceedings petition for the proposed Parker Annexation; 20.5 acres bounded on the north by
SE 120th St., on the east by the parcel line near 156th Ave. SE, on the south by SE 124th
St./NE 6th St., and on the west at approximately 155th Ave. SE.
Long Range Planner Manager Angie Mathias reported that the annexation site is in the East
Plateau planning area within the City's potential annexation area, abutting the Urban Growth
Boundary to the north and east, and contains single‐family lots and vacant land. She
remarked that the area does have an unnamed stream of approximately 565 feet that is
classified as a type N‐S stream which means that it does not contain fish and it only has a
seasonal flow. Additionally, there is a wetland that is set aside in a tract that abuts the
annexation area.
Ms. Mathias stated that public services, which would not change with annexation, are
currently provided by Fire District #25, Water District #90, Renton sewer service, and the
Issaquah School District. She stated that existing King County zoning is R‐4 (four dwelling units
per gross acre), and that the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low
Density. She added that the area was pre‐zoned as R‐4 (four dwelling units per net acre)
which becomes effective if the annexation becomes effective.
Ms. Mathias reported that currently there are 44 dwelling units in the area, and there would
be $60,123 in revenues and $58,991 in costs annually to the City's Operating Fund if annexed,
which would change to $98,503 in revenues and $94,900 in costs if the projected 21
additional dwelling units are built over the next ten years. Additionally, Ms. Mathias reported
that there would be $6,082 in revenues and $3,681 in costs to the City's Capital and
Enterprise Funds, which would change to $31,220 in revenues and $25,973 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.

Jean Rollins, Renton, from the "Save De Leo Wall" campaign, provided Council with an
update on the efforts of local residents, via the non‐profit group Forterra, to appeal
the Department of Natural Resources decision to issue a logging permit to clear cut an
area in Newcastle that could have negative impacts on the May Creek Basin. She
