PUBLIC HEARING
a) WSDOT Acquisition: 1-405/NE 44th St Interchange Project: 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 proposed WSDOT acquisition at 1-405 & NE 44th
Street Interchange.
Planning & Technical Services Manager Amanda Askren reported that the Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is planning improvements to 1-405 between SR 167
and NE 6th St in Bellevue for its widening and express toll lanes project. She indicated that
this hearing was to notify the public about WSDOT's proposal to acquire City of Renton
property, and temporarily lease additional property located in the vicinity of 1-405 and the NE
44th St interchange. Ms. Askren described the location of the property and noted that
WSDOT's take was for approximately 45,225 square feet of land just west of 1-405. She also
reported that the temporary easement needed to stage equipment is approximately 2,878
square feet and is located on the east side of the freeway.
Concluding, Ms. Askren reported compensation for the property acquisition has been set at
$20,000 and noted that $10,000 of that amount will be repaid to King County because the
property was originally bought by the City of Renton using King County grant funds. She also
indicated that WSDOT will pay the City $1,000 for use of the temporary easement. Ms. Askren
stated that the staff recommendation is to 1) Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute
the WSDOT documentation for the temporary easement and warranty deed required to
finalize the acquisition, 2) Authorize accepting compensation of $20,000 for the acquisition
and $1,000 for the temporary easement from WSDOT, and 3) Authorize the disbursement of
$10,000 to King County.
