MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington stated that this project has been a long,hard-fought effort, and he recognized the work of Utility Engineering Supervisor Ron Straka and other staff members. Stressing that the mitigation bank will benefit Renton, City Attorney Larry Warren shared how the City acquired the property,and he acknowledged the City's foresight in recognizing its future possibilities. Mr. Covington explained that as development occurs in the City, developers have to mitigate for any impact to wetlands. Rather than having a number of small areas that are designated for wetland mitigation, the City will create in the aforementioned property an ecosystem that works as a wetland. He pointed out that developers pay into an account that is then used to enhance the wetland. Councilwoman Briere noted that a trail is proposed to go through this property and connect an existing trail system. Mr. Straka explained that WSDOT will be conducting the mitigation bank construction in exchange for half of the shares of credits for investing the capital, and the City will receive the remaining credits. He indicated that WSDOT is a significant partner in this project, and he recognized the agency's efforts. Mr. Straka stressed that this is a good project from an environmental, transportation,City, and public standpoint because it will allow the City to sell credits to developers who can then develop their sites to a higher and better use.

Mayor Keolker passed along the plaque to City Attorney Warren in recognition of his hard work on this project. Councilman Clawson noted that if the Brightwater project had not moved forward, massive reconstruction on the eastside would have taken place to expand the present trunk system to handle the additional sewage at the South Treatment Plant in Renton. Public Safety: Fireworks Interim Fire Chief Larry Rude gave a briefing on fireworks activities over the Activities over July 4 July 4 holiday. He reported that the fireworks ban in Renton took effect in 2005. Interim Chief Rude explained that the City's goal of reducing fireworks- related injuries and property damage was communicated to citizens in various ways, including fliers in the utility bills, and postings at businesses and high- occupancy apartment complexes. He noted that the City holds a public fireworks display at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park as an alternative. Continuing, Interim Chief Rude reported that Renton experienced a decrease in fireworks-related calls and incidents in 2005 and 2006 as compared to prior years. Reviewing related statistics, he noted that the total monetary damage in 2006 was $1,300, and during the time period of July 1 to July 10,200 calls for service were received this year as compared to 286 in 2005. Interim Chief Rude pointed out the importance of communicating with citizens. He concluded by reviewing the City's communication strategies for 2007,which include targeting more non-English speaking citizens,postings at fireworks stands in neighboring jurisdictions, and signage at the City limits and transportation corridors. Mayor Keolker noted that it was nice and quiet this year, and the fireworks display at Gene Coulon Park was wonderful. Councilman Law stated that Renton residents have the opportunity to vote on whether to eliminate the fireworks ban this fall, and he inquired as to when the use of fireworks would again be allowed if the ban was eliminated. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington replied that fireworks use could be allowed as early as January 2007. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: Street Grid System accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public hearing Amendments to consider the amendments to the City's Street Grid System(City Code 9-11). L. 11 Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch explained that under the current street naming system, all avenues (running north/south) are named after cities and towns in Washington, all streets (running east/west) are numbered, and directional prefixes or suffixes are assigned with downtown Renton as the center point. He pointed out that upon annexation, all roadways are renamed to conform with this system. Mr. Pietsch discussed the issues with the current system. He indicated that the names of avenues established in City Code have expired, and the City is near the end of a round of alphabetical naming of avenues with names of Washington cities and towns. Mr. Pietch stated that potentially thousands of residents in Renton's Potential Annexation Area could be annexed and thus be required to change addresses. He explained that in the past, conformity with the current system was essential to police and fire crews and their ability to quickly July 10,2006 %%m, Renton City Council Minutes Page 234 locate and respond to emergency calls. With the establishment of geographic information systems(GIS) and data terminals in all emergency vehicles, this requirement is no longer necessary. Turning to the proposed street naming changes, Mr. Pietsch stated that most newly annexed areas will retain their current addresses and not be integrated into the City's naming system, numbering system,or directional prefixes. He reviewed the proposed changes as follows: • Annexed segments of SE Renton-Maple Valley Hwy. shall be renamed Maple Valley Hwy. • Annexed segments of 68th Ave. S., south of Martin Luther King Way, shall be renamed Monster Rd. SW. • Newly annexed areas bounded by I-405 to the west, 159th Ave. SE(Zillah Ave. SE) to the east, May Valley Rd. to the north, and Maple Valley Hwy. to the south will be assigned addresses according to the Renton street naming system. • The roadway known as SE May Valley Rd. shall retain its name and numbering system, and the portion of the roadway now known as NE 31 st St. shall be restored to the original name (SE May Valley Rd.) and numbering system. • The street named Vesta Ave. NE will be renamed Vantage Blvd. NE. • Annexed segments of 156th Ave. SE,north of NE 4th St./SE 128th St. shall be renamed Vantage P1. • Annexed segments of 156th Ave. SE, south of NE 4th St./SE 128th St; SE 142nd P1.between 154th Ave. SE/Toledo Ave. SE and 156th Ave. SE; and 154th Pl. SE shall be renamed Vantage Blvd. • Annexed segments of 156th Ave. SE, south of the intersection with SE 142nd Pl. shall be renamed Vantage Ct. SE. • Annexed segments of SE Can Rd., SE 179th St., SE 176th St., and SE Petrovitsky Rd. shall be renamed SE Carr Rd. west of 108th Ave. SE, and SE Petrovitsky Rd. east of 108th Ave. SE. In conclusion, Mr. Pietsch stated that the proposed changes will prevent the unnecessary inconvenience and cost that annexing property owners, residents, and businesses face with address changes. He noted that the address changes have been a reason for people not wanting to annex to Renton. Mr. Pietsch pointed out that the changes may create additional work for City staff to identify addresses within the City limits. He reported that this item is currently in the Planning and Development Committee, and feedback on the matter will be reviewed by the Committee. Mayor Keolker indicated that her main concern regarding changing the street grid system was public safety; however,now that technology has changed, it is time to reconsider the current system. Public comment was invited. Andrew Duffus,2905 Ilwaco Ave.NE, Renton, 98059, spoke in favor of retaining the name May Valley Rd. within Renton for the following four reasons: history,continuity, safety, and minimal inconvenience. He explained that May Valley Rd. has existed for over 60 years,and continuity and consistency will be maintained by retaining the name, as residents in City of Newcastle and unincorporated King County have May Valley Rd. addresses. Mr. Duffus noted that the change will only affect four residents. ' July 10,2006 'vow Renton City Council Minutes Page 235 June Hill, 225 Vesta Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, reported that she lives at the only house on Vesta Ave. SE, and only three houses exist on Vesta Ave. NE. She described the problems she has encountered with the post office, with people trying to locate her house, and with City staff since her address was changed. Ms. Hill stated that if the street name is going to be changed again to Vantage Blvd., she requested that instead, the name be changed back to 156th Ave. SE. Kristy Hill, 225 Vesta Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, stated that if Vesta Ave. has to be renamed Vantage Blvd., she asked that the change take place when the larger annexation is approved. In the meantime, she recommended that the name be changed back to 156th Ave. SE so that people can locate her house. J. Paul Blake, 17627 133rd P1. SE, Renton, 98058, expressed his support for the proposal, saying that the amendments will prevent address changes from being an issue for potential annexations to Renton. Gwendolyn High,President of Citizens'Alliance for a Responsible Evendell, 13405 158th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, agreed with the retainage of current addresses when areas are annexed to Renton. In regards to the Vesta Ave. name change, she suggested that the street be renamed back to 156th Ave. SE, as 156th is a regional landmark and it is easily locatable. Ms. High noted that GIS is great when looking at coordinates; however, addressing is difficult because every single database has to be manually updated. Councilman Persson acknowledged the frustration expressed by residents living on Vesta Ave. He stated that the current street grid system has worked well for a long time; however, as the City grows and with the advancements in technology, a change is worth considering. Councilwoman Nelson indicated that there are advantages to using the King County grid system. Expressing appreciation for the speakers'comments, Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington assured that their comments will be taken under consideration. Councilman Clawson stressed that the audience testimony is very helpful. Councilman Law stated that changing Vesta Ave. back to 156th Ave. SE should be strongly considered if there is little downside to the City. Correspondence was read from August R. Tabacek, 5531 NE 31st St., Renton, 98059, expressing support for restoring the roadway known as NE 31st St. to its original name of SE May Valley Rd. He also requested that the expense to rename streets be considered. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2006 and beyond. Items noted included: * The City's bond credit rating has been upgraded by both Fitch Rating Services and Standard and Poor's to AA- (from A+). The highest possible rating is AAA. The rating upgrade will reduce costs to the community for the planned bond issuance in mid-July. * The first "Play Day in the Park" of the summer was held on June 28 at Kiwanis Park. Co-sponsored by Renton Kiwanis and Greater Renton Kiwanis,games, crafts, and inflatables were enjoyed by approximately 250 youth ages six to eleven. REVISED •• 7/7/2006 C. `SY \O STREET NAMING AMENDMENTS PUBLIC HEARING COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF CHANGES TO RMC 9-11 STEET GRID SYSTEM July 10, 2006 For years, the City has imposed a system for naming streets based in which avenues, which run north/south, are named after cities and towns in Washington and east/west streets are numbered. Additionally, all streets in the City are given directional prefixes or suffixes (NE, SE, etc.) with Downtown Renton as the center point. The names of avenues established in the adopted code have expired. Given the large amount of annexation on the East Renton Plateau, the City is quickly nearing the end of a round of alphabetical naming of avenues with names of Washington cities and towns. With the possibility of annexing very large areas of the Potential Annexation Area (PAA), thousands of residents would be required to change their addresses to conform with the street naming system. This has been cited as a reason not to annex. In that past, conformity with the street naming convention was essential to police and fire crews and their ability to quickly locate and respond to emergency calls. Now, with the establishment of geographic information systems (GIS) and data terminals in all emergency vehicles,this requirement is no longer necessary. The following changes are proposed for the street naming system: • References to State Route 405 will be corrected to read Interstate 405 • Newly annexed areas will retain their current addresses, with the exception of those areas in the East Renton Plateau bounded by Interstate 405 to the west, 159th Ave SE (Zillah Ave. SE) to the east, May Valley Rd to the north, and Maple Valley Hwy to the south. • Newly annexed areas bounded by Interstate 405 to the west, 159th Ave SE (Zillah Ave. SE)to the east, May Valley Rd to the north, and Maple Valley Hwy to the south will be assigned addresses according to the Renton Street Naming System. • The roadway known as SE May Valley Rd would retain its name and numbering system, the portion of the roadway now known as NE 31 S` St would be restored to the original name and numbering system. • The street named Vesta Ave NE will be renamed Vantage Blvd NE. • Annexed segments of 156th Ave SE, south of NE 4th St/ SE128t Street; SE 142nd Pl, between 154th Ave SE/Toledo Ave SE; and 154th P1 SE; shall be renamed Vantage Blvd; • Annexed segments of 156th Ave SE, south of the intersection with SE 142nd Pl, shall be renamed Vantage Court SE; • Annexed segments of 156th Ave SE,north of NE 4th St/SE 128th St shall be renamed Vantage Pl; • Annexed segments of 68`h Ave S, south of Martin Luther King Way, shall be renamed Monster Rd SW; • Annexed segments of SE Carr Rd, SE179"' St, SE 176th St, and SE Petrovitsky Rd shall be renamed SECarr Road west of 108th Ave SE and SE Petrovitsky Rd east of 108th Ave SE; and • Annexed segments of SE Renton-Maple Valley Hwy shall be renamed Maple Valley Hwy. 1tarr 'NNW trAP Street Grid Naming System , Amendments to RMC 9-11 City Council Hearing July 10,2006 Current Naming System Issues with the Current System .The names of avenues established in the adopted .All Avenues(running north/south)are named code have expired. after cities and towns in Washington. .The City is near the end of a round of alphabetical -All Streets(running east/west)are numbered. naming of avenues with names of Washington -Directional prefixes are assigned with Downtown cities and towns.

Your message was read into the record at the meeting last night. You are included as a party of record on this issue, and so will be informed of any further action that may be taken. If I can provide further information or assistance, please feel free to contact me. Your input is appreciated. Sincerely, Bonnie Walton City Clerk City of Renton 425-430-6502 >>> <TabTabacek@aol.com> 06/28/06 4:35 PM >>> I just received notice of public hearing on July 10th regarding changing the street name back to SE May Valley Rd. I will be unable to attend because I am a volunteer campground host for the State of Washington, and will be out of town, however, I want to be on record that I agree with changing back to the original name. I was disappointed that I didn't have a chance to voice my opinion when it was changed to 31st ST. in June of last year. Do you realize the cost of changing addresses of everything you have not to mention the problems of having deliveries, nobody could find it on the map, and a year later they still can't. For this reason I would welcome going back to the original address, but before you change addresses, think about the expense to change addresses. But I want you to know I still enjoy being part of Renton.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: Code amendments are required to change the City's current practice of renaming all streets that annex into the City. The proposed code would allow the existing names of annexed roadways to be retained with a few exceptions. The most notable is the East Renton Plateau, where avenues would continue to be given names of Washington cities and towns alphabetically through"Zillah." STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the proposed amendments to RMC Chapter 9 Section 11 "Street Grid System." Rentonnebagnbill/ bh ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, UtiE, - NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC ' .1 ' PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: April 10, 2006 TO: Randy Corman, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: Kathy Keolker, Mayor FROM: k Alex Pietsch, Administrator Rote SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to RMC 9-11—Street Grid System ISSUE: Should the City revise its practice of renaming streets in newly annexed areas? RECOMMENDATION: Council should adopt the proposed amendments to Renton Municipal Code Title 9, Chapter 11 "Street Grid System." BACKGROUND SUMMARY: For years, the City has imposed a system for naming streets based in which avenues, which run north/south, are named after cities and towns in Washington and east/west streets are numbered. Additionally, all streets in the City are given directional prefixes or suffixes (NE, SE, etc.)with Downtown Renton as the center point. A number of factors have arisen that warrant amendments to the section of the Renton Municipal Code governing this practice: 1.) The names of avenues established in the adopted code has expired and staff has been naming these roadways based on the naming convention without input from the Mayor and City Council; 2.) Given the large amount of annexation on the East Renton Plateau, the City is quickly nearing the end of a round of alphabetical naming of avenues with names of Washington cities and towns (e.g. the avenue beginning with the letter"v"was recently assigned.); and 3.) The possibility of annexing very large areas of the Potential Annexation Area (PAA)means thousands of residents would be forced to change their addresses to conform with the new City street names. This requirement is frequently cited as reason not to annex. haednsplcouncillissue papers-agenda bills-ctte reports12006\street naming issue paper.doc Corman Page 2 of 4 April 10,2006 In that past, conformity with the street naming convention was essential to police and fire crews and their ability to quickly locate and respond to emergency calls. Now, with the establishment of geographic information systems (GIS) and data terminals in all emergency vehicles, this requirement is no longer necessary. There will be a transition for all City staff, however. Currently, since no streets in Renton are numbered higher than the 10000-block, staff is quickly able to determine whether or not a citizen giving an address is a resident of the City. This will no longer be the case and response to citizen concerns will require additional time and research. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: If adopted, the proposed code amendments (the underlined text in the attached draft) would have the basic effect of freezing the existing street naming convention where it is and adopting the existing names of annexing county streets and avenues except on the East Renton Plateau. On the Plateau, the City's current convention of street naming would continue until an avenue was annexed and named"Zillah."East of that street, the County roadway names would remain. The following is a section-by-section discussion of the proposed amendments: 9-11-2 DEFINITIONS Provides definitions for"Highways"and"Ways"which are currently designated but undefined. 9-11-3B Replaces a reference to the historic name Vancouver Avenue with the current name of the roadway Rainier Avenue. 9-11-4B, C, & D Corrects the erroneous references to Interstate 405 as a"State Route." 9-11-4H The existing directional establishment of prefixes and suffixes to roadway names (NE, S, etc.) are based on Downtown Renton as the center point. Downtown Seattle is the focal point for these directional indicators on County roadways. Most of the directional designations in the PAAs conform to the City's system. However, the West Hill (where roadways are designation"South") and the East Renton Plateau("Southeast") are the exceptions. This section provides for these exceptions and allows the County roadway names to conform to the City's code. See the attached map for an illustration. 9-11-5 ROADWAY NAMES This section documents the existing street names in the City and establishes new names for avenues to the east through the end of the alphabet. These new street names are: Toledo (155th Ave SE and any future extension),Underwood(156th Ave SE in White Fence Ranch and any future extension), Vantage (156th Ave SE south of NE 4th and any h:\ednsp\council\issue papers-agenda bills-ctte reports\2006\street naming issue paper.doc ' Corman Page 3 of 4 ... April 10,2006 future extension to the north. See also the discussion of Vantage/Vesta below), Wapato, Yakima, and Zillah(these last three would be designated as annexation and redevelopment occurs). A portion of 156th Ave SE recently annexed to the City was designated"Vesta Ave NE" by City staff. The existing code designated the avenue names to be used alphabetically through the letter"o"or"Orcas." Since Orcas Ave NE was established, staff has determined the appropriate names of avenues (Pasco, Quincy, Rosario, and Shadow) without explicit direction from the Mayor or the City Council. Given the arterial nature of 156t"Ave SE, its connection to the Jones Bridge and SR 169 to the south, and its future importance as a north/south arterial corridor, a more commonly known name may be more appropriate. Staff is currently consulting with the owners of the six affected property owners to see whether a change to "Vantage Ave NE"would be preferable over "Vesta Ave NE." If the change is acceptable, staff will bring it to the City Council for consideration under a separate action. This section also eliminates names for avenues yet to be annexed on the West Hill previously established in code. These include Medina, Longview, Kelso, Jackson, Indio, Hamilton, Garfield, Fairview, and Edgewood. Naches Ave SW would be the last and western-most avenue to be named under the City's street naming convention. 9-11-5D This section clarifies what should happen to roadways that are constructed in an annexed area that connect a City-named road to one named under the County's convention. The proposal is for the City name to be extended to the first existing intersection. 9-11-6 ANNEXATION This section provides direction regarding roadway naming in the event of an annexation. County roadway names would be adopted with the exceptions listed below. These exceptions allow the current practice of renaming streets to come to a logical close at the end of the alphabet, as well allow the extension of a few roadways that have well- established names. a.) East Renton Plateau, including the Sierra Heights area—the historic City naming would continue through the establishment of"Zillah Ave NE;" b.) Monster Rd SW would continue north to Martin Luther King Way; c.) NE 4th would continue east to the Urban Growth Boundary; d.) SE Petrovitsky Rd would continue west to Carr Rd; and e.) Annexed segments of SR 169 would be renamed Maple Valley Hwy, instead of SE Renton-Maple Valley Hwy. 9-11-7 CHANGE OF ADDRESS Increases the fee for a property owner-proposed street name change from$30 to $100 to more accurately defray the processing costs. 9-11-8 RESOLUTION OF CONFLICT 1►:\ednsp\council\issue papers-agenda bills-ctte reports\2006\street naming issue paper.doc Corman %ro 1401, Page 4 of 4 April 10,2006 This new section grants the Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator the authority to resolve any unforeseen conflicts of this code section. CONCLUSION: The practical application of the City's existing convention for naming roadways is coming to an end. The proposed code amendments create a logical place to stop the existing convention on the East Renton Plateau and allow the City to adopt the existing names of streets and avenues in annexing areas. The small additional workload staff may face by no longer having the quick four-digit address test for Renton addresses is far outweighed by the unnecessary inconvenience and cost annexing property owners, residents and businesses face through an address change.
