Opinions were expressed covering the following criticisms: Claims Warrant No. 11254, dated 2-5-60 to City Hall Cafe in payment of Coffee, Ice Cream and Cake expenses connected with hosting regular meeting of the Valley Industrial Commission on 2-25-1960. The Attorney General advised payment of this kind would violate Article VIII, Section 7 of the State Constitution, that the City should investigate the policy in connection with such expenditures and that the responsible official should make reim- bursement therefor. Expenditures for clothing under budget classification "Uniforms and Special Clothing" was pointed out to need a policy reconsideration. Expenditure for traffic signal installation at the Renton Shopping Center access was deemed to be without valid substantiation of liability of the City and would be an unlawful expenditure as would the further criticism involving an agreement for construction of a railroad bridge without being budgeted and language in RCW 31 .33.120, supra, was pointed out indicating the possibility of payment of an unbudgeted liability on the order of a "court competent jurisdiction". It was suggested that the best method of resolving these problems is perhaps for the City to resist payment unless a judgment is entered against the City on them, which was the only method which their office would feel they could approve at which time other legal problems might also then be resolved. Finally, the matter of Gravel delivered by the City Street '_epartment to Robert L. Edwards, Renton Shopping Center, for use on Edwards Street in the sum of $911.20, was criticised, said sum still owed to the City and the section of street being undedicated. An attached communication from the City Attorney advised of a meeting in the office of the Attorney General and of his agreement with the opinions in the communication and in concurrence that the Courts should adjudicate these matters. Attention was called to the definite policies as to what items are covered under "Uniforms and Special Clothing" which are now being established taking care of this matter.

A letter was read from the City Attorney calling attention to a rezoning action taken by the Planning Commission containing some apparent legal questions. First mentioned was the rezoning of the parcel to B-1 which would constitute "spot zoning" and permit any kind of business operation which might not be compatible to the area.

Councilman Garrett advised the two members of the Ordinance Committee who attended the hearing meeting recommended that the P-1 zoning be refused and R-4 be granted limiting the structures to four stories with covenant restrictions to be executed in connection therewith and one portion zoned BP-1 to allow adequate parking area. Planning Director Jensen advised the P-1 zoning would allow the Planning Commission to impose restrictions which R-4 would not allow and citied previous zonings contain- ing covenant restrictions with which the petitioners did not comply.

City Attorney Shellan advised any covenants agreed upon to run with the land, restricting properties to certain use, bind heirs and assigns for all time to come, and agreed the matter should go back to the Planning Commission, questioning as a legal point whether P-1 zoning were proper zoning, it being specifically designated for governmental building and public uses while our R-2, R-3 and R-4 zoning provide for multiple housing. During further discussion Mr. Smiley outlined his plans stating either zoning to be suitable and it was stated the Council should take action so the Commission would know their thinking.

Planning Director Jensen advised R-4 zoning is less restrictive than the R-3 or the P-1 recommended by the Planning Commission and that R-4 has never been recanmended by the Commission under any circumstances and that R-4 would not be reason- able for Lot 5 from a planning point of view. Mr. Smiley advised he would not want to cut down the height of his proposed construction on Lot 5 and City Attorney Shellan called his attention to the fact that under P-1 zoning the Commission could require him to cut down or to remove two stories as indicated by the Planning Director and that he would have to take those chances with a P-1 zoning. Mr* Smiley advised he would not want to have to come back and appeal the Planning Commission decision and would rather go to the R-4 zoning under such conditions. Mr. Trimm pointed out R-2 or R-3 zoning would require special variances and R-4 would not, after which the pending motion was voted upon and dissenting voice vote brought requests for roll call which resulted as follows: Dullahant, Aye; Reid, No; M algarini, No; Pinkerton, Aye; Vietzke Aye; Garrett, Aye; Trimm, Aye; Johnson, No; Delaurenti, No; Poli, No; and Bruce, no.

This being the date set, the meeting with wick Vidos was held for consideration of the preliminary letter of intent to initiate annexation proceedings of a portion of his land contiguous to the City Limits, to determine whether the City would require the assumption of pre-existing City indebtedness by the area to be annexed. At this point t e Planning Director advised that it is the Planning Commission recommendation that all of the Nick Vidos property be included in this proposed annexation, instead of only that (-ortion previously indicated. Further discussion with Mr. Vidos indicated his willingness to comply with the Planning corzission's request.

City hgineer Wilson 's survey results of a recent manual count of traffic and pedestrians at the intersection of Grady Way and 'Hells ;street to evaluate the need for signal installation and a crosswalk, was read.

City Attorney Shellan advised that this has not as yet been determined but past experiences would indicate the City's portion to be one-half of the cost i-:volved.

HLARING: Highlands Comr:unity Church V"ari'ance Requests Denial Appeal: This being the date set, the Hearing was declared open. The Clerk read the Highlancs Community Church request for a hearing on the Planning Commission denial for Variance requests on the set-back for the proposed sanctuary unit of the church plant. This letter indicated that at time of purchasing Block 32 it was believed area was zoned P-1; that building sets back 150 feet from the front street (Tenth Street); that request for a 1C foot side yard at one point of the builo_,ing creates no traffic hazard or impairment of view; that the church owns the entire block which area is required for buildings and parking and, therefore, would not be available for other uses; and, finally, that the topography of the lot has dictated the placement of buildings. The Planning Department was askec to elaborate on the reasons for denial of the Variance Requests. In summary, the reasons for a required 20 foot set-back, in lieu of tre requested 10 foot, was based on the iifffortance of "K" Street as an arterial which importance, it was felt, would increase in the coming years as a connection be- tween the residential areas to the south and. the Highlands Shopping Center. Fuvrther the size of the tract provides sufficient room to place the church far enough from the street without requiring a variance, and the proposed placenent of the builcing within less than 20 foot set-back would create a constricting effect on the general residences on the east side of "K" Street, all of whom have met the 20 foot set-back requirements. Rev. Wallace Wilson advised that when the property was purchased it was believed to have been zoned P-1 which zoning requires side yards of 5 ' on each side of interior lot, corner lot 10 ' sides. Two months ago it was learned that property is zoned R-1 no P-1, however it was on the P-1 basis that the proposed building had been masterplanned four ,years ago. At the present time the street right-of-way line is 10 ' away from the existin€ sidewalk. The building should be another 10' beyond that, which means that the building, if located as requested by the church, would then be 20 ' from the existing sidewalk. This is the actual basis on which the design was planned. Mr. Spangler, the architect, explained that the present existing building left little choice for the location of the planned addition. If necessary to rotat building a 15 ' side yard would be required. Plans nov call for a one-story building in the front and a two-story building in the rear. Seating capacity 604. persons; 121 parking spaces planned for the church area. "K" Street is now 60' right-of-way with a street located in the center of that right-of-tray. It was pointed out that the Planning ComTlAssion objection was based on the 60 ' right-of-way established, concluding the possibility that at some future date the street would be widened.. Chairman Denzer of the Planning Commission advised that the Ordinance states that Variances are not to be granted unless the property owner is being deprived of reasonable use of his property. Moved by Reid, seconded by Poli, that this ::atter be referred to the Council As A Whole to explore proposed building site, to report back next week. Carried.

ROLL CALL OF COUNCILMEN: Gianni, Reid, Hulse, Dullahant, Dahlquist, Pedersen, Garrett, Trimm, Guster, Delaurenti, Poli and Bruce. OFFICIALS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS PRESENT: Helmie Nelson, City Clerk; Dorothea +• Gossett, City Treasurer; Gerard Shellan, City Attorney; Floyd Lawrence, Fire Chief; Clarence Williams, Chief of Polige; Jack Wilson, City Engineer; James Highton, Build- ing Sup't.; Joe Lynch, Street Commissioner; Marvin Schroeder, Sup't of Utilities; Vern Church, Purchasing Agent; Dave Jensen, Planning Director; Gene Coulon, Park Sup't.; and James Denzer, Chairman of the Planning Commission. The meeting opened with the flag salute, lead by Patrolman James Bourasa. The invocation was given by Rev. Arthur Osmundson of St. Matthew Lutheran Church. Moved by Poli, seconded by Bruce, that the Minutes of the previous meeting of June 4, 1962 be approved as written with the provision that Councilman Johnson's name be stricken from the list of absent Councilmen inasmuch as his resignation was effective June 1, 1962. Carried. HEARINGS: (A) Petition for Vacation of that portion of the alley adjacent to Lots 18 to 39 Incl., of Block 16 of C. D. Hillman's Earlington Gardens Addition to Seattle Div. No. 1. (B) Petition for Vacation of that portion of South 131st Street Lying between 90th Avenue South aryl 91st Avenue South. This being the date set, the Hearings on the above Petitions for Vacations were declared open. The Clerk read Planning Director Jensen's request that the City Council continue the above scheduled Hearings from June 11th to June 18th to afford the Planning Commission with an opportunity to make further study of the effect that r.. such vacations may have upon the City's arterials and street plans. Moved by Dullahant, seconded by Dahlquist, to concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and to defer the above scheduled Hearings from June 11th to June 18th accordingly. Carried. Councilman Garrett commented that since the Hearing Notice had been published and people are now assembled for this purpose they should be given an opportunity to express their views. The Clerk read communications received on the above vacation petitions as follows: (1.) On Petition to Vacate Portion of the Alley: The City Engineer noted objection to such vacation because under the Highway Department's present plan, the easterly end of this alley will dead-end into the Valley Freeway, and if the westerly one-third of this alley were vacated this would leave a portion of the alley completely isolated with no means of access. (2.) On Petition to Vacate a Portion of South 131st Street: a. The Gity Engineer's recommendation against vacation pointed out that the traffic pattern has not developed to its fullest extent in this area and street could be very important to the City in the future. City at this time desires an overcrossing of Renton Avenue across Rainier Avenue. Installation of such a struc- ture would cause a revision of the adjacent street system. (b.) A protest letter from the Assembly of God Church which indicated that church had spent approximately $250,000 in the development of this block and future opening of 131st Street would benefit both the church and the community as a �� whole. (c.) A petition protesting the vacation, bearing signatures of thirteen residents in the immediate area, starting with "Chas. B. Petersen" and ending with "Andy Hansen." After above communications were read, the Mayor asked for oral comments from the audience on: PETITION for Vacation of that portion of the alley adjacent to Lots 18 to 39 Incl. of Block 16 of C. D. Hillman's Earlington Gardens Addition to Seattle Div. No. 1 (Item "A" above: 234' 6-11-1962 HEARINGS: (Continued) Mr. Ray Vomenici, 9106 South 146th Street, spoke at this time filing protest for his mother, Mrs. Teresa Vomenici, the property owner. Mr. Vomenici noted that traffic is heavy in this area. Cars have a problem in approaching homes. Front access to properties has been eliminated by the State who now has an 8' highway within 6' of property line. Alley access definitely will be needed in the future. City has an obligation to the homes in the area for garbage collections, etc., and it was noted that the City is using private property at no cost. Funds and equipment it was streesed are now available to put through this much needed alley. Mrs. Teresa Vomenici, 9106 South 146th Street, spoke briefly in support of Mr. Ray Vomenici's statements above. Mr. Frank Caniparoli, 9134 South 148th Street, His property he states lies .W' similarly to that of the above. Mr. Caniparoli expressed an interest in determining the proper size of alleys that would be maintained by the City and in ascertaining whether the City would correspondingly maintain an alley that is not a thorough-way. He stated he understood that 16' was the required alley size; however if this is true only about 8' is now being used in the alley in question. If 16' is required, then there will be an encroachment into his property about 3' . On the subject of maintenance of alleys that are not thorough-ways, the Mayor advised that since the City maintains dead-end streets it would follow that the City also maintains dead-end alleys. The question was raised whether the easement put through years ago could be smaller. Councilman Reid advised that the City maintains dedicated alleys and such alleys must be 161 . City Engineer Wilson concluded with the assumption that the alley was orginally platted as 161 , noting that alley has never been improved upon, therefore City has not maintained it. However if subject alley is improved by the Property Owners, then the City will conform. Mrs. Teresa Tonelli, 22234 - 84th Ave. South (spokesman for family property) advised that they own the property on both sides at the lower end of this alley which end has never been opened (only one-third of alley area has such access). Since it is felt that nothing would be gained by such action but that any planned-for opening would serve primarily the apartments and duplexes here, the request is being made that the closed portion as it now exists remain so, and that no improvement or vacation be made at this time. Mr. Ray Vomenici, again approached Council, noting another point for consideration. In establishing Grady Way, provisions had not been made for natural drainage, which drainage is going down this alley. Condition had not been contested because the State is currently planning land additions to that side of the road. Request some con- sideration of this problem at this time. Further, alley should be maintained on the westerly end in view of the freeway construction which will create greater problems for the area property owners. The Mayor ruled that this Hearing be continued one week. The Mayor now invited oral comments on: Petition for Vacation of that Portion of South 131st Street Lying Between 90th Avenue South and 91st Avenue South: Item "B" above). Roger Lewis, 711-2nd Avenue, Attorney for Joe Lissman, petitioner on above, spoke: In summary, he stated that this matter was before Council in 1958. Vacation was tenta- tively approved but thereafter rejected by the City after it had progressed as far as the Ordinance Committee. Now petitioning the City to reconsider this street vacation request, with reservation to the City of an easement for a sewer line now going thru which is both necessary and proper. It is believed that portions of this street to the East and West have already been vacated. There has not been any noticeable in- crease in traffic which would benefit by the opening of this street. Understands that opposition has been filed iay the Assembly of God Church, however church has other access available from the North. In conclusion, Mr. Lewis stated that this street is not part of any future area plans. Requested, however, that Council withhold action awaiting Planning Commission's decision on the above. Councilman Garrett asked City Engineer Wilson for verification of vacations of portions of this street to the East and West. The Engineer emphasized that the City's maps do not indicate such vacation to the West, but that portion between 91st and Rainier is vacated. The Mayor ruled that this Hearing be continued one week. COMMUNICATIONS: A letter from Bob Wray (supporting previously submitted petition with forty- seven signature endorsements) requesting amendment of Ordinance to allow for issuance of more than one pawnbroker's license per 15,000 population, was read. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Bruce, to refer this communication to the Ordinance Committee and to the Police and License Committee, where matter now rests. Carried. 235 6-11-1962 COMMUNICATIONS: The Renton Downtown Merchants Assn. request for removal of parking meters in Downtown Renton, proposing a trial period of sixty days effective September 1, 1962 and proposing further that Third Avenue from Burnett to Main Street be placed on a one-hour and the remainder of area on a two-hour police-enforced parking setup, was read. Discussion followed regarding the advisability of removing parking meters with a view that revenue from this source would affect the budget correspondingly. It was deemed advisable, therefore, to give this matter further, detailed study. Moved by Trimm, seconded by Bruce, to refer the request to the Council As A Whole for consideration. Carried. Street Commissioner Lynch's recommendation to extend the compulsory retirement of Ralph N. Whitehall for one year to September 1, 1963, and the Mayor's concurrence in this recommendation were read.

Carried. Councilman Trimm stated retirement policy for Statewide City Employees provides for retirement at the age of 65 years. It was moved by Trimm that this matter be referred to the Council As A Whole for consideration; there being no second, the motion was lost.

The Street Commis- sioner's letter on subject was also read. Moved by Reid, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur in the recommendation of the Street Commissioner and City Attorney, and to refer claim to the Ways and Means Com- mitee and the Ordinance Committee. Carried. Washington State Council of Fire Fighters communication was read, which clari- fied the present Firemen's Pension Law with regard to Pension Fund preservation by a mandatory mill levy with a further mill assessment where fund is not actuarially sound, and which requested advice on millage levied this year and the balance in this fund at this fiscal year's end. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Custer, to refer communications to the Council As A Whole. Carried. Jim's Garbage Disposal request (submitted by Atty. H. Donald Gouge) for a 5- year Franchise for collection and disposal of garbage specifically in the Brentwood Addition Annexation area, was read. Utilities Sup't. Schroeder asked for deferment of action for one week to afford an opportunity for the Utilities Dept. to clarify questionable items, such as equip- ment to be used, etc. Moved by Poli, seconded by Reid, to table this request for one week. Carried. A Petition, submitted by Nick and Mary Vidos (13217 90th South), owners of 100% of the land value, according to assessed valuation for general taxation of property therein described, requested annexation to the City of Renton of described properties, said property being contiguous to the City Limits. A Preliminary Revised Letter of Intent request having heretofore been approved and it having been further determined at the preliminary meeting held with the initiating owners that no pre-existing bonded indebtedness shall be assumed by said Petitioner-Owners and the City being favorable to the annexation, the Petition was read by the Clerk. City Engineer Wilson's report, which was also read, noted that County records indicate the Petition submitted by Nick Vidos includes all of the adjacent property owned by him, that his signature represents 100% of the owners within the arcRre- questing annexation, and that there are but two residents within the area which is +` approximately 1.25 acres in size with an assessed valuation of $2,390.00. Question was raised whether Review Board Meeting is required on this annexa- tion proceedings inasmuch as property involved is less than 10 acres in size. Attorney Shellan clarified that the matter must be referred to the Mayor who must call Review Board within ten-day period; he must also notify the County Commissioner and Sup't. of Schools correspondingly and they may by majority elect to dispense with Review Board Meeting where thE_re is less than 10 acres under consideration for annexation. Moved by Poli, seconded by Reid, that the Petition for annexation to the City of Renton, being in full compliance with all requirements of the law, be accepted and referred to the Mayor to convene the Review Board within ten days as required. Carried. 236 6-11-1962 COMMUNICATIONS: (Continued) A Preliminary Letter of Intent to initiate annexation proceedings signed by owners of more than ten percent (10%) of the value of certain lands contiguous to the City Limits of Renton (portions of Sections 29 and 30), covering the following described property, and further indicating unwillingness to assume any pre-existing City bonded indebtedness, was read by the Clerk: "That portion of the Northeast Quarter of Section 30, Township 23 North, Range 5 East; W.M. and portion of the North one-half of Section 29, Township 23 North, Range 5 East; W.M. described as follows: All that portion of the Northeast Quarter of Section 30, Township 23 North, Range 5 East; W.M. lying East of the Westerly margin of Springbrook Road (96th Avenue S.E.); all that portion of the North one-half of the Northwest Quarter of Section 29, Township 23 North, Range 5 East; W.M. lying westerly of Benson Road (S.S.H. 5-C); less the South 100 feet of the East 100 feet thereof already within. the City Limits; the Southwest Quarter of the North- west Quarter of said Section 29; Lots 6 to 10, Block 1, all of Block B, Akers Farm Addition No. 5 as recorded in Volume 40 of Plats, Page 27, records of Kind County, Washington, together with alley and all streets adjoining; all of Block 8, Akers Farms Addition No. 6, as recorded in Volume 42 of Plats, Page 15, records of King County, Washington, together with all streets adjoining."

Carried. City Attorney Shellan's letter, attaching copies of previously submitted legal opinions, on transfer request from Cumulative Fund 1894 unto Cumulative Fund 169E of $10,000 for fire equipment, was read. The illegality of such transfer was noted, stating that the applicable Cumulative Fund Ordinance specifically provides that money in this fund shall not be expended for any purposes other than those specified without an approving vote by the electorate.

Discussion disclosed that under the proposed Ordinance draft, parking of cabs in meter Tones will be considered a violation of the Ordinance While four stallshave been relinquished in the downtown area (two on Wells Street and two on Williams Street), it must be noted that correspondingly the Cab Company has been assigned sufficient stalls on Walla Walla to compensate for such loss, thereby representing no inconvenience to cab personnel as it is but a short distance from the cab stall area to the Downtown Shopping Area. Councilman Garrett brcught out that if addit .onal cabs are placed in use, then provision will have to be made for additional parking space accomodations. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Reid, to refer the matter to the Ordinance Committee. Carried. Chairman Dullahant advised that further study of the matter will be made by bhe committee.

It was moved by Trimm, seconded by Poli, to refer the License Applications re- ...d ceived governing the sale of Safe-and-Sane Fireworks to the Police and License Committee and the Fire Chief. tarried. New Business: President of the Council Reid submitted the following Council As A Whole referral matters for consideration. (1) That it is the recommendation of the Council As A Whole to officially endorse Initiative #211 for the redistricting and reapportionment of the state legis- lative districts according to the 1960 census figures, as requested by the League of Women Voters of Renton. 6-11-1962 239 NEW BUST_NESS: (Continued) Moved by Garrett, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur with the recommendation of the Council As A Whole. Carried. (2) That it is the recommendation of the Council As A Whole to defer a decision on the Frank J. Powers rezone from G-6000 to L-1 request of that property described in the petition, pending further investigation by the Committee. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Poli, to concur with the recommendation of the Council As A Whole and to hold this matter in abeyance pending further investigation. Carried. Frank Powers Jr., addressed Council in support of his petition for re-zone of the property in question from G-6000 to L-1. In summary, the property is on the .� North side of South 153rd Street. between 86th S.E. and 87th S.E. and is located South of the pending freeway. The Highway plans call for a 200' right of way and most of this is through the Powers property located 10' high. On S.E. 87th which is tentatively planned by the State Highway, 180' access has been acquired for overpass over the freeway. Powers property bounds on this overpass. Traffic access to overpass will be from the Southand the busy Valley Road is now becoming part of the freeway. Local traffic will be on the West side of that road. Plan is to raise 153rd Street some 5' and acquisition has been made for this purpose. Petition filed with the Planning Commission is to zone this property "L-1" and in this regard it is noted that Council has, at three times during the past year, zoned adjacent properties 11L-111. Area to the South has been H-1 and probably should be L-1. There is some talk that this prop- erty is adaptable to multiple residences but there are several factors against such a plan; Apartment houses, etc., must be located near services, grocery stores, drug stores, laundromats, etc., yet none of these can be made available South of the freeway because area is too small for such purposes. Shopping area on East Valley Road will be limited. Renton Interchange will take out all buildings, all small stores on East Valley Road South of Grady, all the way South to 180th. Powers plans call for a complete organiza- tion which will fit in nicely with "L-1" zoning providing the proper zoning setback requirements. Setbacks will be 20' from the freeway and a $2,000 bond will be posted to ensure planting strip requirements stipulated along the freeway. Correspondingly an 8' fence will surround the lumberyard ope ations and off-street parking requirements will be complied with. Mr. Campanella, the architect (Johnston, Campanella & Murakami) presented a sketch indicating the proposed layout of the three buildings planned for the property. Planning Director Jensen advised that the Planning Commission recommends grar.t- �" irg of this re-zoning to "L-1" noting that the standards here will be very high. Mr. McConnachie of Metro Industrial District Inc. (also member of Consulting firm) protested orally against the re?oni.ng of the Powers property toL-1. Metro's operations call for a contemplated 80-acre industrial park to the South of the Powers property. Indications are that industry is moving out of the South End of Seattle and that the residential turn is also to the South. Approximately 1-1/2 million people it is noted are in this distribution center at the south end of the valley. The opportunities are presented for the City of Renton to capture nationally desired business firms and enterprises. Standards for the Industrial Park will be very strict with regard to setbacks, visibility, plantings, etc. If this land to the North is developed as indicated he felt that the interest of these national firms might not be enlisted. Mr. Ted Holiday, Real Estate Agent, advised of a plan for a similar operation to that of Powers' which is planned for the future, noting too that adjacent to the lumberyard a garbage disposal firm is located. The developments here are of such a nature that they should be acceptable to any industrial firm, anywhere. Frank Powers Sr. spoke, indicating that the Metro property is zoned for heavy industry. (3) That the Council As A Whole recommends concurrence with the Planning Commission's recommendations to re-zone the following properties, as determined in the Commission's May 23rd Hearing as follows: (a) J. F. Strnard: From "G" to 11R-3" and"B-1" of that property described in the petition located on Sunset Blvd. E. between 114th Avn. SE and 116th. Avenue SE. (b� Angeline Potoshnik: From "G" to "B-1" and "R-3" of that property NNW described in the petition, located on Sunset Blvd. E. between 114th Avenue S.E. and 112th Avenue S.E. (c) Wm. R. Asher & A. Brashem: From "G" to "B-1" of that property de- scribed in the petition, located on Sunset Blvd. E. between 112th Avenue S.E. and S.E. 112th. Moved by Dullahant, seconded by Dahlquist, to concur in the recommendation of the Planning Commission and to refer re-zonings to the Ordinance Com::ittee for supporting Ordinances. Carried.

Schroeder in the very near future. .r A question addressed to the City Attorney by E & A Construction Co. relative to the City Attorney's representation of plaintiff on an accident claim filed against E & A in connection with L.I.D. 248 sewer project brought out that this was a civil matter and not a City problem, further that the contractor had their own insurance carrier. E & A Construction Co. requested the Police Department check night lights on the L.I.D. 246 construction project due to evidence of tampering. Charles Shane asked for Attorney Shellan's peronal views as to whether he believed that 'he on a part-time basis is capable of "doing as good a job as an attorney would on a full-time basis." Attorney Shellan replied that if the City can afford a full-time attorney, or a full-time police judge, or a full-time health inspector - then this should be done. However, insofar as the attorney appointment - it must be remem- bered that a Municipal Attorney is a specialist. President of the Council Reid called a meeting of the Council As A Whole to convene in the Council Chambers, Tuesday Evening, June 12th, at 7:30 P.M.

HEARING CONTINUED FROM JUNE 11, 1962 on Petition for Vacation of that portion of South 131st Street Lying between 90th Avenue South and 91st Avenue South. This being the date set, Hearing was continued on the above Petition. The Clerk read the following: (1) A petition advocating street vacation carrying the signatures of twenty- four residents in the immediate area, starting with "George Dal Santo" and ending with "J. B. Keilaher." (2) The Planning Commission's recommendation for street vacation, noting that portion of South 131st Street East of 91st Avenue South has been previously vacated; that developed road pattern in the area provides on east-west access at Renton Avenue, at South 129th Street and at South 130th Street; that South 131st Street in terms of subdivision standards and properly applied panning principles should not be extended east of 90th Avenue South; and, finally, that opening of the street proposed for vacation would create one more four-way intersection on 90th Avenue South which is not desirable. Moved by Trimm, seconded by Custer, to concur in the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Question on the motion again gave consideration to any possible future need for street as an access into the area, the assessed valuation of land to be vacated and its accessibility to other areas. Roll Call Vote resulted as follows: Gianni "Aye", Dahlquist "Aye", Pedersen "Aye", Trimm "Aye", Custer "Aye", Poli "Aye", Reid "No", Dullahant "No", Husle "No", Bruce "No".

Hillman's Earlington Gardens Addition to Seattle Division No. 1. This being the date set, the Hearing was continued on the above Petition. The Clerk read the following: (1) The Planning Commission's recommendation that vacation of applicable por- tion of alley, described above, be denied because the area may be needed at a future time for utility lines and. services. (2) The Clerk advised that the City Engineer's recommendation against vacation had previously been submitted to Council. At this point the Mayor invited comments from the floor. Mrs. Teresa Tonalli, 9106 South 146th Street, asked for clarification as to whether alley would be temporarily closed, opened or allowed to "remain as is", and she again advocated vacation of same. Mr. Frank Caniparoli, 9134 South 148th Street, protested orally against alley vacation advising that some fifty-two families are serviced by the alley, that alley is only means of access to some homes and, correspondingly, that a frontage road, not an alley way, should be considered. The highway, it was stated, had been elevated with no provision made, insofar as can be determined, for access into the area. Attorney Hugh Carney, representing the Vomenici interest, stated that if the area is closed on the West end and the Highway closes the Easterly end, theproperty owners will be "blocked" from their property. He requested that any decision on the alley vacation matter be deferred pending completion of the freeway structure to determine what access arrangements will service the area. Moved by Reid, seconded by Poli, that the alley vacation request be deferred pending completion of the freeway construction to determine what access, if any, will have been made into the area in question. Carried. 6-18-62 HEARING ON APPEAL: Leo L. Lazetti Variance Request Denial. This being the date set, the Hearing was declared open. The Clerk advised that this was the Hearing to appeal the Planning Commission's denial of Variance Requests on the East 150 feet of Lots 3 and 4, Block 9, of C. D. Hillman's Earlington Gardens Addition to the City of Seattle, Division No. 1. Upon request, Planning Director Jensen outlined the basis for Variance Requests denial noting that the Planning Commission considered these two questionable lots (50' wide each) originally platted as one lot, as going through the block to the other street. Mr. Lazetti purchased 150 feet (approximately East one-half) of these lots. Zoning in this area is according to the old County 3-1 requirements which stipulates 35,000 square feet minimum for each new lot. Planning Commission it is noted is cur- rently considering; a proposal to reclassify this whole area. The new zoning classifi- cation would require that any lot which, is presently arranged or segregated remains so, unless it has 35,000 square feet. Main frontage requirement, is 60' - Mr. Lazetti has 100' for two lots, or 50' frontage each. Needs variance request correspondingly to build on 50' lot, having less than the required 35,000 square feet minimum lot require- ment. equire- ment. Mr. Lazetti noted other discrepancies in area which permitted buildings on illegal lot sizes. In view of applications made and $50.00 fees paid correspondingly Mr. Lazetti petitioned Council to reconsider variance requests. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Reid, to approve the Variance Requests on the above described property, thereby rescinding the denial decision of the Planning Commission. Carried. COMMUNICATIONS: Letters from the Highland Community Church expressing appreciation for the 10' setback variance grant, were read. A communication from F. Lake Washington District of Garden Clubs protesting spraying operations and citi.nE objectives for better controls on indiscriminate use of chemical herbecides and advocating the brush chipper method, thereby preventing need- less destructions and hazards along our highways and. right-of-ways, was read. Moved by Gianni, seconded by Hine, to refer this communication to the Street and Alley Committee. Carried. City Engineer's report that signatures on Letter of Intent to annex properties in Sections 29 and 30 - Benson Hill Area represent 20.3% of ownership of assessed valu- ation of the area proposed for annex tion, was read. Moved by Poli, seconded by Dahlquist to meet with Petitioners, Monday,July 2, 1962 at 8:00 P.M., to determine whether or not the petitioners are willing to assume any pre-existing bonded indebtedness of the City. Carried. A communication from Washington State Pollution Control Commission, with copies directed to the Health Dept. and City Engineer, approving plans and specifications sub- mitted for the West Hill Sanitary Sewers LID 248 project, such approval contingent to the provisions of the Pollution Control Commission policy with respect to sewage into Lake Washington as adopted 2/8/56 and revised 8/1.1/58, was read. Mayor Aliment's concurrence in the Renton Police Department's recommendation, to extend the compulsory retirement date of. Walter Kerr, to August 1, 1963, was read. Moved by Reid, seconded by Bruce, to concur with the recommendation of the Mayor. Carried. It was further moved by Reid, seconded by Hulse, to refer matter to the Ordinance Committee for drafting of supporting Resolution. Carried. The Planning Commission's recommendation, supporting the Citizen's Advisory Council's recommendation, for approval of Amendments to the Proposed 701 Program, as prepared by the Planning Department, John Graham & Co., and the State Department of Commerce & Economic Development, was read. The Clerk advised that all Councilmen had been furnished with copies of the Revised Program. General discussion followed as to the advisability of further study of the program revisions. The Mayor advised, however, that there is no change in the program costs as now budgeted and allocated for this purpose, but revisions have been made to the program structure as a whole. Planning Director Jensen confirmed that revisions made have received the careful attention of, and have been coordinated with, the State Department of Commerce & Economic Development, the Regional Office, and John Graham & Co., to ensure revisions acceptable to the Government. Because of delay factors neces- sitated by such revisions, it was deemed inadvisable to delay program by further de- tailed study, noting that previously employed processing procedure will again have to be followed, and time here is of the essence. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Trimm, to defer processing of the Revised 701 Pro- gram for one week to allow for further study of the program revisions. T172: 243 6-18-1962 COMMUNICATIONS: (Continued) The Mayor declared a recess at this time. After the recess, Roll Call was taken with all Councilmen present as previously Indic-ted.

(3) It has been determined that $10,452.52, the remainder of a sum originally intended for Cumulative Reserve Fund, City Buildings, under Ordinance No. 1464, which ordinance was vetoed by former Mayor Baxter, has never been allocated by legislative authority to any proper cumulative fund. In order to properly place said funds, it was the recommendation of the Council As A Whole Committee that this sum in the amount of $10,452.52 be placed in Cumulative Fund No. 1698. (Previously $20,000.00 of the original amount had been allocated by Ordinance No. 1895 to Cumulative Fund No. 1894.) Moved by Reid, seconded by Custer, to concur with the recommendation of the Council As A Whole Committee. Carried. (4) Regarding Washington State Council of Fire Fighter's request concerning the amount of millage to be levied this year for the benefit of the Firemen's Pension Fund and for report of balance in said fund at this fiscal year's end, the Council As A Whole Committee recommends that the 1.1 mill be levied again this year in accordance with actuarial recommendation and the City Clerk so inform the State Council. Moved by Reid, seconded by Bruce, to concur with the recommendation of the Council As A Whole Committee. Carried. (5) Based upon City Attorney Shellan's recommendation relative to the reten- tion of special counsel to represent the City in the pending lawsuit involving recovery costs for certain traffic signals installed near the Renton Shopping Center - Edwards vs. City of Renton, theCouncil As A Whole Committee recommends that Mr. Donald G. Holm of the firm of Brightman & Holm be retained as special trial counsel on this case and that a meeting be scheduled with Mr. Holm relative to fees for his services. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Reid, to concur with the recommendation of the Council As A Whole Committee, and that the City Clerk be authorized to notify Mr. Holm accordingly. Carried. Councilman Reid submitted Mr. Donald Holm's letter outlining his fees for such f'epresentati.on, noting further that consent for such representation will be made only if this action has the full consent and approval of the City Council. The City was further notified in this letter that unless some action is taken this coming week, the City will be held in default. General discussion followed relative to the requested fees and inquiries pre- sented as to whether authority to have Mr. Holm represent the City in forthcoming action this week would preclude that he is being retained in this litigation. Attorney Shellan advised that a lawyer may be hired or fired any time, as required. He again summarized reasons for litigation and necessity for other 1Egal counsel to represent City in this action, cautioning Councilmen that if we "let the matter go by default" there is that possibility that Councilmen, individually, could be held liable for not defending the City. 6-18-1962 245 OLD BUSINESS: (Continued) Chairman Custer submitted the report of the Sanitation Committee recommending that the present City Sewer charge of $1.25 per month be reduced to 75¢ per month, effective July 1, 1962. Moved by Trimm, seconded by Bruce, to concur with the recommendation of the Sanitation Committee. Carried. Utilities Supt. Schroeder was asked to explain the sewer charge setup. He stated that Council had authorized a preliminary study of storm drains which study was made by Stevens & Thompson. Accordingly, some $200,000 will. be expended for such work within the next few years. In view of such anticipated work he feels that the .�. $1.25 charge should remain as is. However, the Sanitation Committee believed storm sewers to be no part of this program,, therefore considered lowering charge to 75¢ per month. The Utilities Department's job will be to maintain the present City sewers and Pumping Stations only. It must be noted that the flow at the Treatment Plant during rain storms increases from 22 million gals. to 21 million gals. This problem has to be eliminated as Metro will not accept storm water into the sanitary sewers. As to the inquiry as to why rate was increased three years ago from 75¢ to $1.25 per month, Mr. Schroeder advised that at that time the City floated a bond issue in order to build necessary pumping stations and required lines. Mr. Schroeder added that no part of Metro's money can be put toward the storm sewer system as this money is part of the Sanitary Sewer Fund System. If the Street Department is to build the storm sewers some of this work can be done this year (three are ready to go). Must consider that with additional annexation, etc. additional storm sewers and sanitary lines are taken in on the same size lines. Utility Supt. Schroeder further noted that Metro is going to take over all of the personnel at the TrFatment Plant and effective July 1, 1962, two men from the Water Department will maintain thee sewer system. Beginning next year on the 1963 budget, there will be two men, full-time, on the sewers, and not on the Water Department. Mr. Schroeder again reitereated that he feels that the $1.25 charge should remainand the City should take that money (40%) for building sewers on a cash basis in lieu of floating a bond issue for such purpose. Chairman Dullahant of the Ordinance Committee presented a proposed Ordinance of the City of Renton, Washington, Amending Section 8-715 of Title VII (Health and Sanitation) of Ordinance No. 1628 entitled "Code of General Ordinances of the City of Renton", covering Sewage Charges - Special Rates, effective July 1, 1962, which was read by the Clc rk. ""' Moved by Trimm, Seconded by Bruce, to refer this proposed Ordinance to the Ordinance Committee for recommendation. Carried. Chairman Dullahant reported that the Ordinance Committee Members recommended favorably and that the proposed Ordinance be placed on its second and final reading. Moved by Trimm, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the recommendation of the Ordinance Committee. Carried. After the second and final reading, it was moved by Trimm, seconded by Dullahant, to adopt Ordinance No. 1960 as read. Roll Call Vote resulted as follows: Dullahant "Aye", Hulse "Aye" Pedersen "Aye", Trimm "Aye", Custer "Aye", Bruce "Aye", Reid "No", Gianini "No", Dahlquist "No", Poli "No".

Chairman Reid called a Meeting of the Street & Alley Committee to convene Saturday morning, June 23, 1962, 8:00 A.M., usual place. (Storm sewer project to be discussed at this time. ) Because of acoustical problems in the Council Chambers, Councilwoman Dahlquist asked that though be given to the use of a PA System, A Microphone, or even a poss- ible revision of present seating arrangements which might permit better hearing reception at the rear of the Council Room. Councilman Dullahant advised thatthis had been given consideration in the past, however it was learned that the building j� was not suited for such systems. Councilman Trimm advised that during budget time, $28,000.00 had been budgeted as anticipated revenue from Garbage Fees. Accordingly receipts from this source are about $4,000.00 per month. It was suggested that the present $2.00 per month garbage fee be reduced to $1.75 per month. Moved by Trimm, seconded by Bruce, to reduce the present garbage fee from $2.00 per month to $1.75 per month. Question on the motion. Mayor indicated that the Council should await preliminary budget figures prior to taking any action. Roll Call Vote resulted as follows: Dullahant "Aye", Pedersen "Aye", Trimm "Aye", Custer "Aye" R-Mice "Aye", Reid "No", Hulse "No", Gianni "No", Dahlquist "No", and Poli "No".

Councilman heid advised that matter is beim deferred for one week and should be on the agenda for next week's business (612562).

This being the date set, the Hearing was declared open. The Clerk advised that the Hearing was called pursuant to protests received to the Planning Commission recom- mendation for rezone of the above property from R- 1 to R-3. No additional protests or communications have been received. Comments from the floor were invited. The following residents of the immedi- ate area spoke in protest: Mrs. Manly Grinolds, 308 Cedar St. outlined parking problems now prevalent on Cedar Street, advising that an apartment house would add to the parking problems now experienced, noting fact that part of Fourth Avenue will be closed off. The 9-unit contemplated apartment will bring additional traffic down Cedar Street. Mr. George Cochrane, 409 Cedar St. commented that rezoning of Cook property would constitute spot :: :zoning. The alley itself is a one-way, 9' slley, heading South, and leaving the alley is an almost impossible situation, with one-way egress down hill only. Off the street parking is limited. To acquire 16' alley would necessitate digging out terrain, removing some three garages, and then bringing in required fill dirt. Objections raised to probable requirement of garage removal and relinquishments of 3' of private property. Residents wish to retain the privacy incident&& to a residential area designed for single unit dwelling. Mr. Raymond biansen, 336 Mill St. His property is back to the alley. 5' of property has already been given and objects to further relinquishments. Inquired as to who will sustain cost for removal of walls if a 16' alley is required. MR. B.K. Davies, 404 Cedar St. advised that consideration must be given to parking which is now limited to one side of Cedar Street. Mr. Walter Fisler, 420 Cedar St. (Wife-Gertrude) ._ Mr. Fisler indicated that Mrs. Fisler and an immedate neighbor are both ailing, for this reason primarily objects to added noise accumulations in area and obstruction of view. Stated he believed most residents on Cedar Street are opposed to the recommended rezone. Mr. John C. Trottman, 400 Mill St. If garage removal is necessary, contended that City will have to stand such costs; further noting that City grader had damaged his 8' wall which he felt, should be replaced. Mrs . Margaret E. Mooney, 307 Cedar St. : Zoning exceptions will invite apartments in the area. The Mooney's recently purchased property in this area as a "residential area. " Apartments, she feels, would create conditions endangering neighborhood children. Mrs. Charles Mitchell, 1107-4th Ave. City has already received 3' and another 100' of property some three years ago. If rockery and garage are to be removed, will City share this cost? Rosemary Grassi, 422 Cedar St. Referred to unfortunate experience in renting "unauthorized apartments", citing that nothing had been done to improve home or the area. Objectors, it was stated, now total some 29 in number . 2G5 July 16, 1962 HEARING (continued) The Mayor declared the Hearing closed. Discussion disclosed that a first-hand appraisal of the .situation had been made by Councilmen, that location lot has been found to be of such elevation, above street level, that ingress and egress to the property poses a problem.

Fugitt indicated unwillingness to assume any pre-existing City bonded indebted- ness. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Reid, to accept the annexation upon presenta- tion of proper petition and that the Petitioner is not required to, assume any pre existing City bonded indebtedness. Carried. Mr . Fugitt thereupon was :informed that he may now present the Petition for Annexation to Council for further consideration, 26� July 16, 1962 COMMUNICATIONS: (continued) A petition matter from property owners on S.E. 110th Street (signed by Frank Storey and others) for a full 50' street consideration, was read. Mr. Storey advised that the City had widened portion of subject street to required 50' in order that new homes wauld comply with FHA requirements. Councilman Reid indicated that if petioners are willing to pay for such work that the matter would be considered. Moved by Poli, seconded by Custer, to place this matter in the hands of the street and Alley Committee for recommendation. On the question on the motion: Discussion disclosed that County maps show this street as a dedicated street; however property has never been given a quit claim deed. Councilman Bruce advised that this is simply a 30' easement, right of way, and that these people had signed a quit claim deed for 30' .

Planning Director Jensen's transmittal of the Planning Commission recom- mendations from its Administrative Meeting of July 11, 1962, relative to the following specific paragraphs of Mr . Arne Goedecke's Proposal on the Capri Project .,.. Development Program (as listed in City Council Minutes of July 9th) , were read: Paragraph 2: No action. The Commission wished more time for further study on this matter with the possibility that Puget Sound Power & Light and the plattor, Mr . Goedecke, can agree on the location of improved roads which will be beneficial to all parties concerned. Paragraph 3: The Planning Commission upon motion recommended: (a) That the Plattor dedicate 20 ' north and adjacent to the Cedar River pipeline for roadway purposes, and (b) That the pavement width be 32' constructed from the South line of the future 40' dedicated right of way. _Paragraph 7. (B .) and (C.) : The Planning Commission upon motion recom- mended that all streets having a 60 ' right of way be paved to 36' width and all streets having a 50 ' right of way be paved to a 32' width. Paragraph 7. (D.) : The Planning Commission after consideration of the sub- division ordinance, determined that the sidewalk might be attached to the curb under the present subdivision ordinance at the option of the plattor. The Planning Commission further considered the proposed street pattern as indicated by the attached exhibit and approved such with respect to 50' and 60' right of way widths . A t this point Planning Director Jensen submitted diagram identifying streets proposed as 50' right of way or as 60' right of way. Pipeline road to be 120' . The' park site was also identified, noting its close proximity to Cascade Vista. -NNW Upon inquiry as to whether 50' right of way is being extablished as a prece- dent Planning Director Jensen advised that for streets over 500' in length, 60' right of way are established; however certain residential streets are adequate at 50 ' . This parallels County practice . Streets of a more important nature, however, are intended to have 60' right of way and sometimes even higl&.r, up to 1201 . Two 60' roads were noted to have access into Pipeline Road. Other contemplated roads for access from the area into the City (other than Renton & Third) are now under discussion with parties concerned. Existing possibilities are: Renton, Cedar, and Mill Streets; or street going thru the draw to the East of Puget Sound, to tie with Ethier Road; or the possibility of detour to 168th and then down Benson. The possibility of going down to Elliott, with tie-in to the Maplewood Homes South of the Golf Course over the bridge is also a consideration. Any connection to an existing street it is noted will be paid by the plattor; a bridge connection, as suggested above however, may be part of a bond issue on a street improvement program. Previous public hearings have been conducted in the County. Public Hearings on preliminary and final plats could be held when finals are prepared. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Custer, to concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission above. Carried.

Carried. COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS Old Business Pres. of the Council Reid submitted the following recommendations of the Council As A Whole from its meeting of July 30, 1962. (1) Upon motion duly adopted, to return the matter of Dobson-Cugini and City of Renton Agreement to Council vi th no recommendation for action. Attorney John Dobson approached Council as representative of the property owners involved in the Dobson-Cugini Agreement, summarizing discussion of this matter at the Council As A Whole Meeting on July 25th. Property Owners had asked that Agreement of August 1957 be reactivated on the theory that the terms of the Agreement authorized such action upon petition of any interested party (property owners being the interested parties here) . Stated that City Attorney Shellan gave opinion at that meeting that the Agreement cannot be reactivated until freeway is completed; and disagreeing with Mr. Dobson that "city has no legal right to rezone property without consett of property owners and placing a more restrictive zoning than now on it. ,, If one interpretation is correct, Attorney Dobson contends that other interpretation is also correct, namely, that there is no consideration for the August 1957 Agreement because in the Agreement "we had agreed to do nothing with the property". Attorney Dobson stated that in meeting held with the objecting adjoining property owners, the interested property owners agreed to place a building height restriction on the entire property, the name as for R-3 zoning, and 8-6-62 OLD BUSINESS (continued) apply for R-4 zoning from the present L-1; however this was not acceptable to the objecting property owners; but they had agreed to withdraw objections if we entertain R-2 zoning - but this in turn is not acceptable to the interested property owners. Again petitioning City Council to either activate or deny reactivation so property owners won't have to carry Agreement to court for interpretaion of contract an d other considerations. Mrs. Margaret Evans, Secy. of the Windsor Hills Community Club, spoke at this point, stating Mr. Dobson to be in error in stating that the objecting property owners are agreeable to reactivation of the matter if property is rezoned, emphasizing that this Agreement is between the City of Renton and the interested property owners, not the objecting property owners. She stated further that the City,Attorney-had. ' advised the objecting property owners in 1957 that their interests were full protected, at the time this Agreement was written. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Bruce, that, with reference to the Agreement of August 1957 between the City of Renton and the Interested Property Owners, the City not consider reactivation of this matter at this time, but that consideration be given to the rezoning question when the Windsor Hills Section of the Highway is completed. On question on the motion: Mrs. Evans commented further' that this Agree- ment states that Council shall determine the best usage of the land when this question , is re-opened, without any referral to the Planning Commission. City Attorney Shallan clarified apparent misunderstandings regarding Cityl s position on rezoning regarding Mr. Dobson's statement " that City cannot rezone property that is now zoned L-1, explaining that a City cannot arbitrarily change zoning and use for a less restrictive, to a more restrictive classification unless the City under its police power finds that such change is in the public interest and for the protection of public health, morals, safety, etc; no one has a vested right in zoning for all time to come. Attorney-n.-Dobson called Council's attention to the highway construction work schedule, noting that applicable highway section probably won't be completed until 1964, and since Agreement was prepared in 1957, he believes Council should reac- tivate matter now. Roll Call Vote resulted as follows: "Aye" _ Dullahant, Hulse, Dahlquist, Garrett, Trimm, Custer and Bruce; "No" - Reid, Gianini, Pedersen, Delaurenti, and Poli. Seven "Ayes" - Five "No's" - the motion carried. (2) Upon motion dully adopted, to place the matter of the new location of the Library in the hands of the Property Committee to meet with the Park Board, Libray Board, and Planning Director. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Custer, to refer the matter of the New Library Location to the Property Committee accordingly. Carried. Chairman Pedersen of the Property Committee presented the Committee's recommendation regarding required City Hall Roof repairs, which was read as follows: That the Bldg. Sup't. be allow ed to enter into a contract with a roofing firm of his choise to make necessary repairs and have applied a two-ply fiber glass roofing material for a cost of $3, 600 .00; this work to carry a ten-year written warranty conditional on a maintenance agreement to apply an asphalt coating at the end of the 5-year period at a cost of $600, the cost of said repairs to come from the Cedar River Acquisition Fund. Discussion ensued with the suggestion made that the Building Sup't. should call for informal bids for this work. It was therefore moved by Dullahant, seconded by Custer, that the Building Sup;t, be authorized to call for informal roof repair bids accordingly. Carried. Chairman Pedersen of the Property Committee submitted the Committee's recommendation regarding the Library Site as follows: That due to crowded condi- tions and the need for more park facilities, and the lack of proper parking adjacent to the Park, that the Library not be located in Liberty Park. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Custer, to concur with the recommendation of the Property Committee. Question on the motion: Library Board Member Mrs. Hanis addressed Council at this point, requesting that time be allowed for the library to complete their study of 8-6-62 283 OLD BUSINESS (continued) possible locations and sites for purchase outside of the area, sttting that the Board had asked for a decision regarding Liberty Park so that it could procedd accordingly. Chairman Pedersen elaborated that the Libaary Board made a request that they be granted some of the Liberty Park Area which they do not now have under their jurisdiction and of course without which they cannot build in Liberty Park; hence the Property Committee's recommendation that they do not build in Liberty Park, that is outside of the area already assigned to them. Library Board Member Mrs. Wyberg spoke on the importance of securing the right location for the Library in view of the cost involved. The importance of obtaining such costs and Library Board recommendations was streesed. Mrs . Hanis again requested that Council defer any consideration until the Library Board has had an opportunity to make detailed study of the situation. The motion carried. Chairman Custdr of the Sanitation Committee brought forth the need for temporary sewer hook-ups in the recently annexed area, Capri Development Project, noting that Metro cannot meet scheduled hook-up date and Mr . Goedecke accordingly has requested other temporary arrangements. Upon inquiry, Mr. Goedecke requested City's approval in writing to hookup by,temportry line to the manhole on 7th Street, such work to be paid for by the contractor and a written agreement to the effect prepared. This temporary hook-up measure it was stated will permit development and sale by next Spring of some twenty-five contemplated homes. Moved by Custer, seconded by Trimm, that Utility Supt. Schroeder and City, Engr. Wilson be authorized to initiate action on this matter in writing the requested letter; that a contract be drawn up with the aid of the Legal Department; and that the matter proceed as expeditiously as possible . Carried. ' New Business: Chairman Reid of the Street & Alley Committee reported verbally regarding street condition, particulary on Smithers' and Morris Streets, caused by Metro's I work in the area. It should be determined the extent of repairs required and when such repairs can be made . Moved by Trimm, seconded by Gianini, to refer matter to the Street and Alley Committee. Carried.

Moved by Trimm, seconded by Poli, to refer matter to the Street Commissioner . Carried. Chairman Reid of the Street and Alley Committee brought forth that Metro has been leaving heavy equipment on streets at the end of work shifts and that some place should be designated for storage of same. Questioned whether this point is covered in City's contract with Metro. City Engineer Wilson commented that road damage by Metro is covered in the Agreement but dobts that any provisions had been made for the storage ofequipment; however he will check this matter out with Metro. Chairman Reid submitted Light & Power Committee's recommendation for installation of a 750 Watt Mercury Light at 10825-110th Place S. E. (corner and 110th S. E. ) . Moved by Bruce, seconded by Poli, to concur with the recommendation of the Power and Light Committee regarding the above lihht installation. Carried. Councilman Gianini called, attention to the parking problem now experienced in the vicinity of Third and Main Sts. , caused by the heavy traffic flow from and to Benson Hill, thereby prohibiting entrance of parked cars into moving traffic lanes. It was suggested that consideration be given to prohibiting parking on Main Street from Fourth Ave. to Walla Walla from 7:00 to 9:00 A.M, and ffeom 3:00 to 5:30 P. M. (peak traffic periods) to alleviate the situation. Moved by Custer, seconded by Delaurenti, to refer the matter to the Street & Alley Committee for consideration. Carried.

Mayor aliment advised that the Assocation had already received confirmation of the meeting date, October 26th; other pertinent points relative to this meeting will be confirmed with the Assocation as they are determined.

This being the date set, the Hearing was continued on the above proposed rezoning. The Clerk read the following: (1) A petition protesting the proposed rezoning carrying some 150 signatures, starting with "Wyman K. Dobson" and ending with "Inez M. Plano"; and (2) A petition advocating rezoning, carrying approximately 25 signatures, starting with "Fred W. Akers" and ending with "Archie Gustine". The Mayor declared the Hearing open and invited comment from the floor. Joe Testa, 820 - 3rd Avenue North stated that he had signed the petition in `r protest of this proposed rezoning. There being no further comments forthcoming, it was moved by Reid, seconded by Bruce, to table the above rezoning matter indefinitely. Question on the motion: It was noted for the record and general public information that the above action "voids" the rezoning at this time. The motion carried. HEARING - PROPOSED REZONE FROM R-1 and GS-1 to SR-1 (Talbot Hill Are4: This being the date set, the Hearing was declared open. f 288 8-13-62 I I HEARING (continued) Upon inquiry of Mrs. Dean Ringer, 1248 Lake Street South and Miss Lorraine Rosa, 223 -10th Place South, Planning Director Dave Jensen explained the following in detail: Minimum lot size requirements of the new existent R-1 and GS-1 zonings in area, and requirements of the contemplated SR-1 zoning which calls for minimum 7, 500 square feet for each lot, with a 75' frontage, noting that need for the rezone request was based on the number of lots in the Talbot Hill Area that are too large to adequately serve their intended purpose and which rezoning would permit correspond- ingly appropriate reduction of lot sizes. Council-initiated action for the proposed rezoning was prompted by a request from the Planning Commission, based on Variane Requests received and some existing segregation of lots in violation of the Ordinance . This rezoning request to SR-1' is exhlusive of the R-2 zoning on the duplex in the area. While there is no applicable Business zoning in the area, there are some businesses operating under non-conforming use. New businesses however would require applica- ble rezoning. That portion of the area which it was felt might be affected by freeway operations has not been included for rezone consideration at this time. Mr. Jerry Cordell, 1130 Lake South summarized proceedings incidental to annexation of Talbot Hill Area to Rahton in 1956 and upon request, City Attorney Shellan clarified the General Classification zoaing for the benefit of property.owners, noting that a distinction must be made between land uses and zonings. He stated that in annexations, legally, the previous zoning ends, the land use continues however; therefore, the Planning Commission's recommendation to give the area some General Classification Zoning until such time as property owners or Council requests applic- able rezone. Planning Director Jensen eleaborated that under the proposed rezoning, residents will be permitted to keep whatever livestock (chickens, horses, etc.) has been maintained on the property, or the replacement of same; the introduction of new animals other than those possessed at the time of rezone, or the increase in number of such animals, however, would be prohibited. Mr . Jerry Cordell and Miss Lorraine Rosa petitioned Council verbally to hold this proposed rezoning consideration in abeyance pending a better understanding by the property owners of the proposed rezoning requirements. Mrs. Dean Ringer, however, stated that she is opposed to the rezoning consideration. There being no further comments forthcoming from the floor, it was moved by Bruce, seconded by Gianini, to continue this hearing on August 27, 1962, to afford property owners an opportunity to explore all facets of the proposed Rezoning consid- eration and to advise Council by Petition of their desires. Carried. COMMUNICATIONS: A letter from Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce, expressing apprecia- tion of the City's support of the prize-winning Renton float, awarded the Governor's trophy in the Grande Parade of Seafair, was read.

Kinney", requesting immediate installation of proper warnings and traffic lights at the Bellevue Cut-off (State Highway ##1-E) at Sunset Blvd. East, to give adequate traffic control and minimize the accident hazards at this location, was read. Discussion disclosed that this condition has been under surveillance for some time; that City Engr .. Wilson has had communications with Mr. Paul McKay, State District Engineer on this subject; and that a traffic count made last month revealed sixteen accidents at this site since the first of the year. It was noted too that a bridge spanning this sector is now under construction.

Carried. Attorney Nicholas A. Maffeo's letter requesting Council to authorize the City Attorney, or to hire independent legal counsel if necessary, to bring action to enjoin the Metro election of September 11, 1962, as a deceptive election in violation of Election Laws, on the basis that all voters do not realize that this primary election is not a primary election (as are all the other elections) , but that it is a final vote that would add transportation to Metro's super-government, and 290 8-13-62 COMMUNICATIONS (continued) noting that its passage would levy a tax against the City of Renton of almost one hundred million dollars, was read. Upon Council's request for an explanation of the ballot proposition, Attorney Shellan noted that the proposition on the ballot is to consider whether Metro should enter the rapid transit field to be preceded by a feasibility study. With reference to Attorney Maffeo's reque=st that the City institute action to enjoin the Metro election, Attorney Shellan commented that it would be a waste of public funds, advising that Attorney Maffeo had been a part to similar action previously to test the constitutionality of this matter, and that the Supreme court had held unanimously that it was constitu- tional. Attorney Shellan clarified the statements of Mrs. Olma Kelleher, 810 Riverside Drive North (to the effect that it was her understanding that it would be possible to finance Metro's Transportation Program through a bond issue without placing the matter on the ballot), advising that proposition authorizing the issuance of such general obligation bonds shall have been submitted to the electors and must carry a 60 per cent favorable vote for passage and the total number of persons voting on such bond proposition must constitute not less than 40 per cent of the total number of votes cast within the Metro District at the last preceding state general election. Mrs. Jack Fleming, 424 Bronson Way North voiced her approval of Metro's overall operations, expounding the merits of such a long-range planning program. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli, to refer this matter to the Council As A Whole. Carried. A complaint filed by Mr . George Bruce, 1208-5th Avenue North, regarding grass, thistles and berrybushes on Mrs. Hickok's lots and a similar condition on Grant's Motor lots, disclosing a health problem because of reported rater in the underbrush, was read.

The Petition made further reference to the previous public walkway at the North-East Corner, lying between Lots 14 and 15, of the Windsor Hills Addition which had been given to the residents as an access to the shopping and industrial area below by Mr . Grandey, and which walkway was subsequently deeded to the City of Renton at the time of the Windsor Hills Annexation. Mrs. Albert Vaughn, 409 Grandey Wy. approached Council at this time to the effect that when the last piece of property was purchased in the area some four years ago, the buyer would not purchase without assurance that the walkway would be retained.

The Clerk advised that notifications of scheduled Preliminary Meeting for such purposes had been mailed to all signers of the Preliminary Letter of Intent for Annexation, to determine whether the initiating property owners are willing to assume the City's pre-existing bonded indebtedness, and whether the City Council is amenable to such annexation.

Schoreder advised that tt this time this 4 1/2% goes into the Current fund, both from Water and Sewer Dept. Funds, and believes that Metro collection charges should be deleted from this setup as tax on Metro Sewer Collection charges is applicable against funds Utility does not have. 4 1/2% is based on gross revenue and on $100, 000 amounts to $4, 000 to $4, 500 out of Water & Sewer Dept, funds. Moved by Custer, seconded by Hulse, to refer this proposal to the Sanitation Committee to bring in report. Carried. A letter from Renton-King County.Pioner Assn. reporting the August 12, 1962 Renton.-King County Pioneeer Picnic a big success, and commending the City for its maintenance of Liberty Park, its facilities, and particularly the Senior Citi,>zens Center, was read. A Petition, signed by 247 residents of the Renton Sceni-c Hill area, starting with "William B. Smith" and ending with "Donald W. Custer", requesting urgent 8-20-62 297 COMMUNICATIONS (continues) action by Council for (1) outflow of traffic from Cascade Vista and future developments to be routed from Seattle City Pipeline to Benson Highway, and (2) for consideration of a bridge construction or access road to Maple Valley Highway, noting the inadequacy of present streets in handling additional traffic, was read. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Custer, to refer Petition to the Street, and Alley Committee to report back. Question on the motion: Mayor Aliment summarized the purpose and results of his recrnt trip with Pres . of the Council Reid, and Council- woman Dahlquist, to Olympia, stating that the possibOdty of a three-lane setup for -- Benson Highway was discussed, as well as the status of the freeway project. State was asked to make a check and submit report on the area. The City Engineer has irrr started on tentative plans for a possible crossroad from Grant St. on to Ethier Road. Puget Sound is waiting to see what area is proposed so they can look at the plans and give City the required right of way for street. Alternate routes were discussed. Talked with County Commissioner on need for "back" road. Paul McKay, State District Engineer checked the Draw of the Mine Areath Cascade Vista - understands the need for road-and will make further check. Asked state to push Burneett Street extention so as to provide access with bridge and consider extension of this street into Benson, thereby diverting traffic here . Aqtring-Chairman Reid invited comments from the floor . Mr. Wayne E. Pinkley, 741 Grant St. , stated that it was the intai t of the Petition not to requetst additional access but that traffic be routed from Cascade Vista and future develop- ment to Benson Highway or Maple Valley Highway. The Mayor noted that another road under consideration is one from Cascade Vista to Ethier Road. Whatever access road is determined as best, people will use; therefore, State Highway approached for better road access consideration. Mr. Fri nk Cenkovich, 16265 Benson Road called attention to the heavy traffic flow on Benson Highway; resulting in slow moving traffic up and down hill. The possi- bility of a three-lane freeway should be contemplated. Councilman Custer ndted the need for better understanding of the Petition intent on the part of petitioners and requested that the. Street and Alley Committee clarify in their report the actual petition intent. The motion carried. �+ Pres, of the Council Reid called a. meeting of the Street & Alley Committee to convene Saturday morning, August 25th, 8:00 A. M. , usual place, for discussion bf the Renton Scenic Hill Petition matter . A Petition was read, from the Windsor Hills Community Club, bearing signa- tures of approximately 50 area residents, startling with "Agness Carroll" and ending with "Helen R. McMahon", requesting regravelling with pea gravel of the 30' strip deeded to the City in 1956, as described below, for pedestrian and school children use, nbting that strip in its present condition is unsafe for children's use, a fire hazard, conducive to vandklism, and a water drainage problem: "That part of the North 30 feet of the Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter (SE 1/4 of SE 1/4) of Section 8, Township 23 North, Range 5 East, W*U. , extinding from State Highway No. 2 (Sunset Highway) on the West to County Road No. 174 on the East. " Upon inquiry, City Engineer Wilson indicated that this strip lies on the Norther boundary of Windsor Hills from Sunset Highway to "E" Street/. Mrs. Fred Evans, 403 Grandey Way commented as follows, regarding the strip petitioned for action: Plat given by Mr . Grandey was never developed as a roayi, and the Washington Law states that when a piece of ground isn't used for designated purpose, it reverts back. Petitioners contacted Mrs. Sartori, who dedicated the walkway by quit claim deed, to be maitained by the City, and explained the situation. There is some misunderstanding on the part of people in the area who believe this to be a street. The North part (North 60") should have been dedicated, but this area is unsuitable for a road under any conditions. The walkway itself is not the whole 30' but just the 6' that City had pea-gravelled the first time but only down to Bronson Place. If the City would bulldoze 6' down to Sunset Highway it would eliminate the property trespassings now expeienced. Water drainage was no problem until the ground was distrubed by the Gas Company who did not thereafter pack area with required crushed rock. People in ,area below believe that City will put in a road here as a back entrace to their property. Brush hazard in the area extend.s up to within 70' of "E" Street. There is a sharp angle here and the brush hazard is worse on the 1.9 acres owned by Mr. Smiley. City would have only about 10' on the West to clear . 298 8-20-62 COMMUNICATIONS (continued) Mrs. Phyliss McGerry, 511 Windsor Place made inquiry as to the City's responsibility in maintaining the thoroughia.re for children both on "E" Street and the "pass". Moved by Bruce, seconded by Poli, to refer this matter to the Street and Alley Committee. The motion carried.

A letter from Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce, transmitting three pro- posed Resalutions for presentation at the Washington State Good Roads.Assn. in Wenatchee, and requesting Council's support with a corresponding Resolution on each item, was read. The proposed Resolution were distributed to Councilmen for consid- eration. A letter from Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce, submitting an Annexation brochure covering an intensive study of this subject under direction of the Chamber's Housing Committee and Mr. Doug Bouchard of The Boeing Company, was read. Bro- chure copies were distributed to Councilmen. The City Clerk's request for the following transfer of funds, FROM: CITY CLERK 7003/784, M&O Material & Supplies $600.00 UNTO: 7003/711, M&O Advertising 600.00 FROM: City Clerk 7003/757, M&p Expense 150.00 7003/780, M&O Travel & Convention 100.00 UNTO: 7003/ Salaries & Wages-Vacation Relief, Extra Help & Overtime 250.00 resulting from unaticipated volume of 1962 legal publications and increased work load in City Clerk's office, was read.

Arne G. G Goedecke, owner of Capri Development, which was read, granting owner temporary permission to hook up to the City's Sanitary Sewer until such time as the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle has provided for the installation of its facility. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Custer, to concur with the recommendation of the Sanitation Committee, and that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute this Agreement accordingly. Carried. Chairman Poli of the Fire and Water Committee presented the Committee's recommendation, which was read, requesting Council approval for the issuance of - ) a ape'ciai permit` fox_a. 30-day period only to the Almo Furniture Co. to permit tent erection on their property at 307 Rainier Ave. for sales purposes, such tent erec- tion contingent upon the following requirements: (1) a cash bond to the City guaran- teeing the removal of the tent upon expiration of the permit; (2) adequate fire protec- tion by hiring one Renton City Fireman to work during his off hours as a fire guard on the premises; (3) one Almo Furniture Co. employee as an additional fire guard when the Renton City Fireman is not available; (4) adequate parking facilities; (5) the erection of a flame-proof tent; (6) required fire extinguishers; and (7) 24-hour on premises fire patrol.

Carried. A Council AS A Whole recommendation was read, providing that a sum of money of not morel. than $150, 000 be allotted from the Cedar River Acquisition Fund to the Library Board of Trustees for the purchase of a suitable site for a new Library Building. Upon inquiry, Attorney Shellan advised that certain points must be considered at this time. The City condemned Cedar River Park, commencing in 1951, for the purpose of acquiring a site for city Ball, civic center, parks and playgrounds, and other municipal purposes . It is believed that no Resolution had ever been passed to indicate that neither Cedar River Park nor Liberty Park would now be unsuitable sites for civic center, city hall, library or other municipal-purposes. The Council will have to find and determine before any funds can be expended outside these parks that because of change in circumstances beyond the City's control, said park areas are now unsuitable for such municipal buildings, therefore tle City could, after making such determinations, appropriate money in its next budget for the Library as "Capital Outlay, Acquisition of Site for Library Building, Improvements, Accessories, etc. '', or establish a "Cumulative Fund for Library Site and Improvements" and pro- vide for the transfer from the Cedar River Acquisition Fund to Such Cumulative Fund. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Custer, to prepare a Resolution that, due to loss of Municipal grounds, new freeway location, and other circumstances beyond City's control, neith-er Cedar River Park nor Liberty Park is now suitable site for Library location, and to recommend that the Library Board endeavor to locate a suitable site elsewhere; and to refer this Resolution to the Ordinance Committee accordingly. Carried. It was moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Custer to place $150, 000 in a Cumu- lative Fund for Library Site, Improvements, Accessories, etc. , to be budgeted in the 1963 Budget accordingly. It was further moved by Custer, seconded by Hulse, to amend the motion: "to place $150, 000 in a Cumulative Fund for Library Site, Improvements, Accessories, etc. , too be budgeted in the 1963 Budget" by adding: "and to request the Mayor to include this $150, 000 figure in the Preliminary Budget, to be taken from the Cedar River Acquisition Fund. " Vote on the amendment was carried. Vote on the motion as amended was carried. 301 8-20-62 OLD BUSINESS (continued) Library Board Member Righi thanked Council, on behalf of the other Library Board Members, for Council's action in furthering Library plans,assuring Counibil of Board's desire to acquire a site that City will be proud of - such site to be pur- chased as carefully and economically as possible. NEW BUSINESS Councilman Hulse requested that consideration be given to the possibility of ( - distributing Council Meeting Agendas in advance of the scheduled meeting dates, to f allow for a better review of the material to be presented. The City Clerk advised that such an arrangement would require adherence to a schedule dead-line for receipt of Agenda material in the Clerk's Office, suggesting further that any Agenda change be,given adequate newspaper publication. Moved by Custer, seconded by Reid, to refer the above Agenda matter to the Council As A Whole for discussion. Carried. Councilman Hulse brought forth another suggestion - as a matter for possible consideration by the Public Relations Committee. Matters before Council, such as rezonings, LID's, etc . are not too well understood by the public; therefore suggested that some systematic attempt be made to inform public of City procedures on these matters, such as newspaper coverage. Pres . of the Council Reid requested Council- man Hulse to make recommendations in writing, for further consideration and discussion. Councilman Garrett advised Council that he will attend the American Municipal Association Meeting in Philadelphia next Monday, and therefore requested that he be excused from the Council's Regular Meeting. Moved by Custer, seconded by Gianini, to excuse Councilman Garrett accord- ingly. Carried. Chairman Custer called a meeting of the Sanitatation Committee with the Public Relations Committee to convene Monday, August 27th, at 7:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers (prior to the regular Council session.) Chairman Custer, advised, relative to the Council's referral of the 4 1/2% City Utility Tax on Metro Sewer Charge Collection deletion matter, that it is the recommendation of the two SanitationCommittee Members present that this be referred to the Ordinance Committee. Councilwoman Dahlquist stated that inasmuch as this 4 1/2% tax assessment goes into a City fund (Current Fund) and City requires funds at this time, that the tax on Metro collections should be retained, suggesting further that this matter be refferred to Council As A Whole for discussion. Moved by Poli, seconded by Bruce, to refer the 4 1/2% City Utility Tax deletion matter to the Ordinance Committee . The motion carried. There being no further business, to come before Council, it was moved by Bruce seconded by Poli, that the meeting be adjourned. Carried. The meeting adjourned at 10:20 P. M.

This being the date set, the Hearing was declared open. Mrs. Helen Welch, 2611-B Sunset Drive (owner) spoke in behalf of the Appeal P PP request, noting that the lot is presently zoned for duplexes but that it is the owners' desire to build an apartment in the basement of a planned duplex, thereby creating a triplex arrangement. The topography of the lot (slants to the rear) is such that it lends itself to a building with a basement "foundation, which would provide an ideal setup for a below-level apartment for the family, with two rental units above. The lot in question is a large lot, with ample parking and yard- space. It was stated that this is a district of duplexes and multiple dwellings; and•that numerous old houses in the area within few blocks of lot location have been rebuild for dwelling units; two such buildings with four duplexes are but a block away in alignment with the Welch location. Planning Director Jensen showed slides of the immediate vicinity, identifying the Welch lot, the adjacent Cook duplex which is occupied as a single family resi- 304 8-27-62 HEARING (continued) dence, and the new single family residence presently under construction. Upon inquiry, he advised Council thatit was not the appearance or the height of the planned structure upon which the Commission had based its denial of the triples, but rather the high density thereby created in a duplex-zoned area, i. e, three families, rather than the two-family allotment occupying the proposed premises. Mr. Cook, the adjacent duplex owner, was cited as one of the objectors to the proposed triplex. Chairman James Denzer of the Planning Commission requested Council con- currence with Commission's decisions with regard to established zoning requirements and procedures, reiterating that in this particular case, it is strictly a matter of too much density for this particular area. After discussion, it was moved by Bruce, seconded by Reid, to continue this Hearing on September 10, 1962, at 8:00 P.M. , in the Council Chambers, to afford Councilmen an opportunity to explore this site for ultimate recommendation. Carried. CONTINUED HEARING FROM AUGUST 13, 1962 - Proposed Rezoning from R- 1 and GS-1, to S-R 1 (Talbot Hill Area) . This being the date set, the Hearing was continued on the above proposed rezone. A petition (received in this interim period), signed by 57 residents of the area, start- ing with "Dorothy B . Riner" and ending with "Ruth B . Bartlett", protesting contem- plated rezoning based on the premise that smaller lots encourage homes of lesser quality and restrict residential privacy, was read.

Moved by Poli, seconded by Custer, to refer license application to the Police and License Committee with power to act. Question on the motion: Pres . of the Council Reid requested amendment to the motion, requesting that the Committee submit a report to Council of the action taken. It was therefore moved by Reid, sec- onded by Hulse, to amend the motion: "to refer license application to the Police and License Committee with power to act" by adding words: "and to submit a report to Council of the action taken. " The amendment to the motion carried. The motion as amended carried.

City has only aproposed contract. City Attorney Shellan admonished Council to modify its motion to state "that the City looks with favor upon John Graham & Co. as Consultants on the: 701 Program, provided a satisfactory contract be entered into with this firm. " It was therefore moved by Custer, seconded by Bruce, to strick out the worKs: "to concur with the recommendation of the Citizen's Advisory Council and 'hire' John Graham & Co, to do this consulting work", and to substitute: "that the City looks with favor upon John Graham & Co. as Consultants on the 701 Program, provided a satisfactory contract be entered into with this firm.

It would be preferable to have the initial appropriation for the specified purposes contained in the 1963 Budget and thereafter other money may be placed into that Fund; however since said Fund is for fairly specific purpose, it is not believed that any further appropriation, either in the City's annual budget or by emergency appropriation, would be required.

Chairman Pedersen of the Property Committee inquired regarding the respon- sibility for maintenance of the traffic lights at the intersection of Maple W*y, Bronson Way and Sunset Highway. City Engineer Wilson advised that he had discussion of this matter with the State Traffic Engineer and his Assistant, and that while the State now maintains the signal in question, it is their belief that such responsibility could be transferred to the City of Renton, upon request.

CONTINUED HEARING FROM AUGUST 27, 1962-On Appeal to Planning Commission's Denial for Special Permit to build triplex on Lot 5, Block 51, Renton Highlands No. 2 Property located on "I" Street near 15th Place North (Percy & Helen Welch) . This being the date set, the Hearing on the above Appeal was continued. `r Planning Director Jensen reviewed the conditions under which the Planning Commission had denied the special permit request for a triplex, noting the require- ments for an R-2 zoned area which permits duplex family dwellings and residences of one-story only in height. Slides of the area were again shown indicatEng that the area to the North is being developed for single family residence; property to the West is 'single family residence . Normal planning is such, it was stated, that if there is single family housing on one side, an apartment request would be denied. A duplex therefore would be in order here but not the proposed triplex. The pri- mary objection is density, i. e. more families per square foot, with a correspond- ing increase in parking facility needs, etc. The mayor invited oral comment from the floor. Mr. Jesse Cook, 1535 "I"Street,the adjoining property owner voiced his objections to the contemplated triples, stating that the lot size is minimum require- ment for a duplex with one-family occupancy and certainly inadequate therefore for three families. Has no objection to a duplex but objects to a triplex abbutting his property. Mr . Percy Welch, 261 1-B Sunset Drive (owner advised of Mr . Cook's contact with him prior to his purchase of the duplex lot, inquiring as to Mr . Welch's plans and requesting an assurance from him that he would not build an apartment at this site. Mr . Welch informed Mr . Cook of the uncertainty of his plans but advised him that he was purchasing in an apartment-zoned area. Mrs. Helen Welch assured Council that it was not their intention to rent the `n. additional apartment to any family with more than one or two children and felt, under the circumstances, that there is ample off-street parking accommodations. The income from this second apartment it was stated would enable owners to build a trx.ore-a.ttractive building at this location. After further discussion, it was moved by Bruce, seconded by Custer, to rescind the Planning Commission's denial, and to grant the special permit to build a triplex on the property in question. Carried. 344 9-10-62 COMMUNICATIONS Mayor'.Aliment's Presentation of the City's Preliminary Budget for 1963, for filing with the City Clerk as provided by Law, was made, and the Mayor's letter to Council prefacing the budget presentation was read.

Discussion disclosed that this $20, 000 facility has been donated by The Boeing Co. for City operation. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Bruce, to concur with the recommendation of the Utilities Department, that the City of Renton accept ownership, maintenance and operation of this Sewage Lift Station. Carried. A note from Police Chief Williams to the effect that the Seattle-King County Safety Council's one-week training course for safety engineers is applicable to Street and Utility Maintenance personnel and their Foreman, or to the City Garage Foreman, was read. Moved by Reid, seconded by Poli, to refer this matter to the Street Commissioner. Carried. 9-1pi-62 315 COMMUNICATIONS (cont. ) City Attorney Shellan's letter relating to the legality for paying a City employee the difference between compensation received as a Juror and the employee's regular city wage while such employee is 'off the job' by reason of having been called to jury duty, and suggesting the adoption of an Ordinance to cover such procedure,.was read. The City Clerk read the following communications relative to the City of Renton's 701 Program: (1) Planning Director Jensen's letter advising of the Planning Commission's recommendation for Council approval of the proposed Urban Planning Grant contracts as amended, between the City of Renton and the Department of Commerce and Economic Development, and between the City's chosen consultant, John Graham & Company and the Department of Commerce and Economic Development; suggesting further that upon such approval of the proposed contracts as amended, that the Department :of Commerce and Economic Development be notified of the City's choice of consultant and the Council's designation of the local agency to be responsible for the accomplishment of the City's portion of the planning program. ( 2) City Attorneys Haugan & Shellan's opinion confirming the validity of the two proposed contracts above, advising that since their office had no part in formu- lating specifications and work division arrangements an opinion on these phases therefore is not rendered; noting completion deadline dates of both contracts to be July 19, 1964 without time extension provisions; and defining the work division areas of deferment of any proceedings pending receipt of an analysis to be submitted later by the 701 program Comprehensive Study Group. Discussion disclosed that the letter of protest of 9/5/62 is to be considered as such, not an Appeal to the Planning Commission's recommendation, inasmuch as letter was not received within the required ten-day period after Planning Commission Hearing. Upon request, Planning Director Jensen showed slides of the area recommended for R-4 reclassification, noting that in conjunction with such rezone proposal consid- eration will be given to alleviating some of the City's traffic problems through con- sideration of an extension from 6th Avenue West to Edwards Street as a possible tow alternate route for Kent traffic movement, with further consideration for a possible future bypass road from Sunset Blvd. to Renton. Mr . Kenneth Crabtree, 423 Lind, resident in the area, approached Council with request that further studies be made, indicating that Council is not receive "true picture" here but just a few of the considerations involved. Residents in area believe this to be a very poor apartment housing district. Contention is that while Milwaukee may draw up plans, they are not going to build. Further study should be made by Council before decision on matter. Mr . Rudolph Zaputil, 2910-5th North - advised that Council is considering something here for which Council has not as yet received plans. Mr . Wm. Svensson (Naramore, Bain, Brady & Johanson), .a.rchitects retained by Milwaukee,. stated that preliminary plans have been made-as well as an engineer- ing survey of the area. Firm wished to learn from Council whether rezone can be made in this Area to R-4, thereafter would proceed with study in detail. Council was assured of Milwaukee's desire .to work with City's Building Department; Planning Dept. ; and Planning Commission in this regard. While his firm is not in a position to state at this time how Milwaukee plans to proceed, its should benoted that Milwaukee has owned this property for a number of years and their interest=in this area is 'to try to use the land to its best possible use . Due to the close proximity of Boeing and the Pacific Car Shops, it is believed that there is a definite demand for family housing here, such stru ctures definitely will not be "second-rate". Mr . Crabtree stated he doubted that the homes to be built would be considered as "first-class" homes. Moved by Custer, seconded by Poli, to refer this rezone matter to the Council AS A Whole Committee. Carried. The Mayor declared a recess at this time . After the recess Roll Call Vote was again taken with all Councilmen present as previously indicated. (2) Renton Hospital: That reclassification be made from GS-1 to R-4, Apart- Houses and Multiple Dwellings, of the following described property: Lots 1 and 10, Block 7, Rainier Acres, LESS: the East 80' of Lots 1 and 10, Block 7, Rainier Acres to be reclassified from GS- l' to R-2; such recommendations based on the con- sideration that (a) the property is directly opposite B-1 Business District, and (b) 316 9- 10-62 COMMUNICATIONS (cont.) the property fronts upon 4th Avenue North, a City Arterial, the traffic characteristics of which will be such as to preclude the desirable use of the property for single family purposes, and (c)the property is adjacent to the proposed hospital site. - A letter of protest to the proposed rezone forapartments was raad, received from Mrs. Eunice I. Richards, 458 "H" St. , who advised Council that their decision to purchase home in the Highlands was based primarily on desire to locate in a single residential district. Planning Director Jensen displayed a map of the area, identifying the hospital property, the adjacent Edgewater Enterprises propetty, and the zonings applicable to the surrounding areas . Discussion with hospital representative, Mr . Clinton Beck disclosed that the two lots in question had been,-deemed as surplus lots by the Hospitil District Commissioner , not required for their purpose inasmuch as they are apart from the buld of the hospital property. An appraisal of the two lots gave an opinion as best suited for residential units, hence the rezone request. Further deliberation produced a need for further study and apprisal of the matter on the part of Council. It was therefore moved by Poli, , seconded by Bedersen, to refer the rezone proposal to the Council As A Whole Committee for reconsideration accordingly. Roll Call vote resulted as follows: "Ayes" Reid, Hulse, Gianini, Pedersen, Garrett, Trimm and Poli; "Nos" Dullahant, Dahlquist, Custer, Delaurenti and Bruce . Seven "Ayes" - Five "Nos" - the motion carried. Attorney Roger Lewis, 711-Second Ave. addressed Council advising that initially two protests to the contemplated eezone had been presented to the Planning Commission bearing the signatures of approximately 80 persons . The same zoning problems exist on both rezone proposals (Renton Hospital and Edgewater Enterprises Properties), therefore the protest petitions submitted should be considered as applicable to both rezone proposals. (A portion of the protesting faction, he stated, is in the audience tonight) . (3) Edgewater Enterprises, Inc . : That reclassification be made from GS- 1 to R-4 of Lots 2, 3, 8 and 9, Block 7, Rainier Acres, LESS the east 80' of Lots 8 and 9, Block 7, Rainier Acres to be reclassified from GS- 1 to R-2. Recommended rezoning here would constitute an area suitable for development of multiple apart- ments for the same reason as stated above, item (2) . Moved by Custer, seconded by Poli, to refer the rezone proposal to the Council AS A Whole Committee. Carried. (4) Frank Hanley and Jerry Goodall: That reclas sification be made from G-7200 to R-3 of the following described property because (a) this would be a natural exten- sion of the zones immediately adjacent to the north.(R-3 and B-1), and (b) this use would be compatible with the developing uses in the immediate vicinity as related to Sunset Blvd. East: The South 331 .47' of the NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Sec. 8, Twp. 23`N R 5 E, W.M. , lying West of the State Highway ##2, Less that portion southerly of a line running southeasterly from a point on the West line 212.00' North of the South line, to a point on the West margin of said highway 198' more or less north of the South line of the subdivision, said 198' being measured along the west margin of said highway. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli, to concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Carried.

(5) John Grubisich: That reclassification be made from R-4 to B- 1 of Lots 24, 25, 26, 27, Car Works Addition to Renton, since such reclassification is consistent with the expansion of the existing business district in the immediate vicinity.

Discussion on the subject of transferring funds from the Cedar River Acquisi- tion Fund for Park purposes disclosed need for further detailed study of matter .

ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS: Hearing-Proposed Emergency Ordinance Councilman Dullahant, Chairman of the Ordinance Committee, presented a proposed Ordinance which had been placed on its first reading on 11/26/62 and pub- lished December 5, 1962, according to law and the Committee was now submitting it for second and final reading. Chairman Reid inquired whether anyone wished to be heard at this time on the proposed Ordinance which declared that an emergency exists and appropriation of monies for the purpose of providing for payment of necessary expenses necessitated by such emergency was authorized thereby, namely - for repairs to the City Hall roof. There were no protests or remarks from the audience and upon inquiry by Councilmen the Clerk advised said funds were to be bud- geted for paying the balance required for completion of the repairs in 1963 as the budget did no provide therefor at the present time . Moved by Poli, seconded by Custer, that the proposed Ordinance be placed on its second and final reading in con- currence with the recommendation of the Ordinance Committee . Carried.

The Hearing was declareddDsed. The Ordinance Committee presented a proposed Ordinance of the City of Renton, Washington, Relatingto and providing for a license or occupation tax upon 404 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 12-3-62 ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS (Cont .) certain businesses, pursuits and privileges, levying of a tax upon certain utilities and providing for the necessary administrative machinery for the collection and enforce- ment of the licenses and taxes hereunder; defining offenses and prescribing penalties therefor, which was read by the Clerk. Mr . Earl Gavin, owner of Scott Cleaners and Mr . Paul Jassny, of Service Laundry voiced their protest to the 307o utility tax being levied on the gas utility, as they operate their businesses with gas, and not on the fuel dealers which they felt is discriminatory. Councilman Custer advised that there was legal question whether the fuel d 1 W)a:s col sidereo a utility. The facts also, that you cannot buy from a competitive company when you use gas as you can with fuel oil and a gas company does not assume state taxes required of fuel dealers, were considered by the Council committee during the proposal for imposing the tax. Fuel oil dealers under proposed Ordinance are taxed according to retail business classification rates . Attention was pointed to the extensive budget hearings during which time the new license and tax structure was instituted which had been adequately publicized and opportunity given for opinions and to the fact that though there was Council opposition, a majority had approved the action. Mr . Perry, from Gladding-McBean expressed concern that inasmuch as fuel oil and natural gas were both fuels the action was discriminatory. Mr . Jim Julian, of Boeing Company, inquired regarding approximate revenues the two parts of the Ordi- nace would render the City comparatively and also whether a graduation had been dis- cussed on the utility tax setting a limit to be passed on to consumers . Opposition was not to the tax itself but to the fact that the oil dealers were not included in the utility levy, however, Mr . Jasne advised their tax would increase by 450% or 336% if present B & O tax were considered. City Clerk Nelson advised Mr . Julian that the general ordinance would provide approximately $30, 500 . 00 and the Utility levy approximately $123, 000 .00. Council had discussed the limitation at various meetings but no action had been taken. After further detailed discussion it was moved by Dullahant, seconded by Dahlquist that the matter be referred to the Council As A Whole to be considered at a meeting on Wednesday, December 5, 1962 at 8:00 p.m. Roll call vote was requested and resulted as follows: Reid, No, Dullahant, Aye, Hulse, Aye, Gianini, Aye, Dahlquist, Aye, Pederesen, Aye , Garrett, No, Trimm, No, Cutter, No, Poli, Aye and Bruce, No. Six aye4otes and five no votes carried the motion.

Councilman Pedersen called attention to action taken earlier in the meeting on the appeal of the Planning Commission decision by the Investment Exchange Corporation and also the explanation by Mr. Tennent regarding his absence from the hearing meet- ing of last week and moved that Council reconsider the appeal. The motion was seconded by Poli, however, Mr. Tennent had left the meeting following the prior action of the Council earlier in the evening. Councilman Garrett inquired whether it was the intent of the motion to re-open the hearing'. Councilman Pedersen called attention to an opinion of the newly organized Planning Commission from a special meeting which was held reversing the zoning decision which had been appealed. The Mayor advised said meeting was not an official meeting and if the Council wished a ' recimmcndation from the new Planning Commission referral thereto was now in order. After further discussion the pending motion carried, and City Attorney Shellan advised that the motion to reconsider can only be to reconsider what Council has done and not what another body has done. However, if a second appeal is to be granted a date should be set and the parties notified which action would be setting precedent. Councilman Garrett stated the appeal had been before the Council and turned down and if it were to now be reconsidered other appeals to come before the Council might also warrant re- consideration. Councilman Reid expressed concern for the special situation of the appeal in this case and also that of the newly organized Planning Commission whom he felt should be afforded the courtesy of consultation before final action is taken. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Dahlquist, to refer the matter back to the Planning Commission. Discussion followed on the action and on the revision of the Planning Commission regarding the fact that it constituted the same members of the former Com- mission except that it was fewer in number and the officers were changed. Concern was ex&es�fed by Council members as 'tothe way the action is taken in the event of- Yts` being contested and whether the motion for reconsideration is applicable to granting or'fiirning down the appeal. Mayor Aliment arged action upon the pending motion so that the parties may meet for further discussion. Planning Director Jensen called attention to the need for the Plafflning Commission services ii► the 701 Program and suggested that any action on further rezone: or'otther'applications' be suspended 'fdr a period of time in order that full atten- tiom May,be' devoted to' the 701 activities: He'then reviewed the entire 'progress 'of the arpealed razone matter from the applicatian and first Planning Commission recommendation for R=3 zoning with a Special'Permit for a' clinic and recommendation that Council grant a Cofiditional Permit for construction of a service- station:_ This recommendation received concurrence by the Council however, City Attorney Shellan questioned the Council authority under the City Ordinance to grant a permanent business use in an R-3 zone. The matter war then reconsidered by the'Planning Commission and an R-3 zoning on the entre- property with a Permit only for the clinic on portions of Lots 7 and 4 was then recommended to the Council. This decision was appealed by Mr. Tennent inasmuch as no, provision had been allowed for the service station and this brought the matter to the Hearing Meeting b& last week at which no one had appeared to render verbal appeal and the Council 'the'n concurred in the Planning Commission decision for the R-3 zoning with permit for the clinic. Concern for the verbal protestors to the service station zoning was expressed, Attention was again called to establishment of a precedent by re-opening the appeal hearing and also the time element involved in other matters which had gone - back and forth between the Council and the Commission. Vote was subsequently taken on the pending motion and upon dissenting voice vote,' Mayor Aliment called for roll call which resulted,as follows:Aye: Reid, Gianini, Dahlquist, Pedersen?

Upon inquiry Planning,` Director Jensen advised that ti the time of the property sale there was no subdi-iisicn Ordinance nor zoning laws in existence and the lot was divided into Its preser_t status which size is below the minimum requirements of the present zoning ordinance and thus in order to allow the property owner his rightful use of the land the permit wac < llot,-ed<' t4r,` Johnson called' fur- ther attention to the fact that the building-now-iLs licated, over a sewer line.

In the present case, there being nq maip building, the structure cannot be deterpn ned an accessory building and the five foot setback must therefore be observed unless a variance is granted to locate the p7cgge on the property line.

COUNCIL CCMMITT_E REPORTS: OLD BUSINESS: Councilman Reid, Chairman -of the Street and Alley Committee, presented his Committee report which was read by the Clerk with Council actions. taken as follows: 1. Regarding debris in Cedar River at Houser way and entrance to Cedar River Park, the Committee recommended that the City write a letter to the District Engineer of the State Highway Commission calling attention to the falsework and debris left since the construction of the new freeway bridge overpass, and request removal thereof.

Reports were read from the City Engineer and the Police Traffic officer, Cap t. Ernie Henry recommending that such a crosswalk be denied as it would tend to give the ...3- 997 Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 3-18-63 COUNCIL, COMMITTEE REPORTS OLD BUSINESS: Street and Alley Committee Report (cont.) pedestrian a false sense of security and from a safety standpoint a pedestrian would be much more safe to walk to the controlled intersection to cross the street. Such crosswalk would create a mid-block walk without traffic control signals or stop signs normally found at an intersection and Williams Street is an exception- ally short street, being 320 ft. from intersection to intersection, therefore, it would be of no inconvenience to the pedestrian to walk to the intersections. Also, Williams Street is a major arterial and part of the one--way street system whose traffic volume is very high, and it would penalize the vehicular traffic to have to stop three times within this short distance. Streets are to move traffic and intersections are to control traffic and move pedestrians. Such crosswalk would mean the loss of several parking meters in which area parking is critical already. Moved by Custer, sem nded by Dullahant, to concur in the Police Department and City Engineer's recommendations and that the crosswalk be denied. Upon dissenting voice vote after pro and con discussion, roll call vote was requested and resulted as follows: Aye: Dullahant, Hulse, Pedersen, Garrett, Trimm, Custer and Poli. No: Reid, Gianini, Dahlquist, and Bruce. Seven Aye votes and four no votes carried the motion denying the crosswalk. Councilwoman Dahlquist called attention to a Eui ding Permit issued to F.G.Welch for construction on I Street and in view of complaint and inquiry regarding compliance with requirements of the permit; it was moved that the _Building Inspector, James Highton, investigate and report back. The motion by Dahlquist was seconded by Custer and carried. Councilman Garrett referred to Resolution No. 1190 which Council had sent to the Highway Commission and the Legislature requesting assistance in a study of the City's arterial street program pursuant to the 701 Planning Program, and advised that he has, during the extraordinary session, made addendum of the Resolution to House Bill 4, omnibus bill under Section 36, sub-section 17, to wit: " a review in cooperation with the State Highway Commission aid the City of Renton of the proposed arterial highway system in the Renton area and its relationship to the comprehensive plans for arterial streets within Renton" . Councilman Garrett further stated that he knows of no reason why it would not be in the bill when finally adopted and signed by the Governor and if such is the case the Planning Commission and various agencies would then start to make plans and contact Chairman of the Committee, probably Senator Washington, for a meeting. Mayor Aliment advised that Commissioner Ketcham of the State Highway Commission had mentioned a possibility of the City using Mr. Bob Dunn for the study until the 701 is completed. Councilman Custer, Chairman of the Sanitation Committee, presented a report, signed by two Committee members,relative to the request made by Mr. Chas. Shane regarding the city's garbage rates,which was read as follows: The City of Renton, through its contractor (Metro Disposal, Inc.), charges $2.00 for regular garbage collection each month. The actual cost of collection charged to the City by the Contractor equals $1.41 per collection; this leaves a net difference of 59¢. The 50� is withheld and placed in the General Fund for general use by the City. This differential between billing and actual costs of collection does not constitute a "Profit" in a legal sense. As long as this money is used and not hoarded or saved by the City (except as a "Reserve" against non- performance by the Contractor, or for any legally acceptable purpose) it cannot be considered a "Profit" . (The State Auditor suggests charging for supervision by the Utility Department) , I We could, as a Council, reduce the charge of $2.00 to $1.41. If we did, there are two alternative courses of action: (1.) Each City Department could be requested to reduce its budgeted expenses and/or capital expenditures by a figure in excess of $4,000.00 by December 31, 1963. (2) We could raise the money in some other manner involving increased taxation. In our- opinion it would be impractical to attempt to alter thischargeuntil at least the next budget is determined. Councilwoman Dahlquist suggested the public be advised of this report and inquired whether public relations committee might review and make. recommendations. Councilman Garrett advised the report would not be altered by his committee in any way and recommended copies of the report as submitted be given to the .press immediately. Moved by Custer, seconded by Hulse, that Vouchers No. 389 -through 457, having been previously approved by the Accounting and Auditing Committee, be accepted for payment along with L.I .D. 248 Vouchers 10 and 11. Carried. -4- 198 4 Minutes of the Meeting of the Renton City Council 3-18-63 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: NEW BUSINESS: Councilman Poli reported . a meeting of the Fire and Water Committee on Saturday and submitted his Committee recommendation which was read by the Clerk as follows: The Fire and Water Committee and the Sup't. of Utilities, recommend that the low bid submitted by Frank Coluccio, in the amount of $40,402.92, for the re- location of Water facilities connected with highway relocation from Cedar River Bridge to 80th Avenue South, be accepted. The Washington State Highway Department has also approved the bid of this Contractor. Council concurrence was requested. Moved by Reid, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the recommendation as read. Carried. Councilman Poli reported inquiries regarding replacement of the old fire hydrants with stand pipes. 29 of these hydrants out of the existing 64 have been replaced to date and the Utility Department advises that progress is further being made regularly, the operation being a costly one,will be completed in due time. Planning Director Jensen announced a meeting of the Planning Commission, called by Commission Chairman, Douglas Felker, for Wednesday, March 20, 1963 at 8:00 p.m. The Council and Citizens Advisory Committee were invited to be present for a full review of the 701 progress to date. Councilman Bruce called attention to the presence of Mr. Sargent whose property had been discussed at the previous council meeting relative to barricade of a certain street and a deed which has been submitted but not accepted by the City thereon. Upon inquiry City Engineer Wilson advised that any dedicated street requires platting under state law and in accepting Quit Claim Deeds the City requests that an agreement be signed indicating willingness to participate in an L.I.D. should the street be incorporated in the City's system and such be warranted. Mr. Sargent called attention to other parcels without the agreeement and advised cost of an L.I.D. would not enable him to get an adequate price for the property to cover his expense and he understood that a deed was all that would be required. The matter was discussed further with no action taken at this time. As there was no further business to come before the Council upon inquiry by the Mayor, it was moved by Bruce, seconded by Poli, to adjourn. Carried. The meeting was a(b ourned at 9:15 p.m. •-........,....
