A poster which represented National Nurses Day 1990 was presented to the Mayor on behalf of the nursing staff at Valley Medical Center. PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published H & HR: 1991 in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public Community Development meeting to consider the Block Grant Citizens Advisory Committee's Block Grant Program recommendations for the 1991 Community Development Block Grant Program. The Mayor introduced Reverend Gene Kester, who represented the Committee. Mr. Kester explained that the initial first stage meeting had been held and the formal process begun to establish the allocations and policies for the 1991 Block Grant Program as recommended by the Citizens' Advisory i Committee. He further explained that program requests will be considered in June and recommendations presented to the Council for approval in September. John Morris, Housing and Human Resources Coordinator, stated that the City of Renton qualified for an estimated $194,747.00 in 1991 King County Consortium CDBG Funds available January 1, 1991, which include $31,160.00 for public (human) service activities, $13,632.00 for planning and administration activities, and no funds allocated for the housing repair loan fund since Renton will be participating in King County's housing repair programs instead. He noted the changes in the policies of a 1% increase (6%- 7%) in the maximum allowable for Planning and Administration activities and a 1% increase (16%-17%) in the maximum allowable for public services. An additional policy was added which would allow staff to negotiate with other cities through an exchange of funds with an interlocal agreement. Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Morris explained that the exchange of general funds obtained from a pass-through city will be used for qualified projects as set forth by King County. If an exchange of funds raises the budget amount over 25%, a public hearing must be held for comments regarding the use of the increased funds. May 7. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 133 Following further discussion regarding the fund exchange allowed in #10 policy, it was concluded that Council must approve any exchange, and all additional funds would be applied to previously approved projects. Councilwoman Zimmerman asked for examples of Block Grant Fund projects in the City. Mr. Morris cited the Cedar River Trail, renovation of the Holmes building (Renton Area Youth Service), Highlands Neighborhood Center remodel, North Highlands renovation, Liberty Park Community Building restoration, and the Cedar River Natural Zone. Councilman Stredicke requested clarification of why no money is being allocated to the King County housing repair programs. Mr. Morris responded that participation in King County's housing repair program requires 17% of the allocation to be returned to the County to cover administration costs. He noted that the housing assistance is part of the City's Block Grant Program which has been expanded and would not be affected by the 1991 policy. Mr. Morris explained that the department is able to administer the needs of the citizens of Renton in a more timely manner by monitoring the program through the City. He added that the program has been very successful. Audience comment was invited. Sandy Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, referred to previous Council meeting where citizens expressed that getting monies in this fashion did not enhance the City but rather encouraged these types of projects. Velma M. Sabine, 650 Queen Avenue NE, Renton, thanked the City of Renton's Housing Assistance Program for their diligent efforts and concern in providing emergency assistance at her home last winter. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL REFER ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM THE MEETING TO COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMITTEE. CARRIED. AUDIENCE COMMENT Sandy Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, questioned the decision of the Citizen Comment: Webb - City to spend $200,000 plus to study potential annexations. He supported the PACCAR, Kenworth building of the new PACCAR-Kenworth plant, but wondered why the Plant, Boeing EIS company wants to settle here other than the fact that this has been the company's home and has a right by precedence to build here. He referred to the presentation of the North Renton Traffic Improvement Plan, and questioned why PACCAR had to pay the same mitigation fees as Boeing. Mr. Webb stated that Renton needs industrial diversification far more than it needs expansion of the Boeing plant and recommended the City take immediate action to inform PACCAR that the three-quarter million dollar mitigation fee previously imposed be withdrawn, and make every effort to have the Kenworth truck plant settle here. Referring to the hearing examiner's report of April 27th regarding the Boeing EIS public appeal process, Mr. Webb encouraged the City to maintain the public appeal process as it was originally conceived and incorporate a pre- hearing conference without attorneys, motions, and cross examinations. CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing: at Council request, item 7.g., Mayor's reappointment to Planning Commission, was removed for separate consideration.

Box 755, Renton, complimented the editor and staff of Citizen Comment: Vaupel the Renton Report for the last issue being so newsy and informative - Renton Report regarding the timely earthquake information. She also thanked Chief Wallis and the Fire Department for responding to the alarm at her home while she was on vacation. Regarding the City's financial situation, she inquired about the sale of property under the revenue options and asked for clarification of this issue. She stated that she hoped the City would be cautious with this particular part of the program and expressed concern about the taxing of city residents for streets they would be unable to use. She questioned if the bringing of contingency funds into the general fund was the same type of thing used by the federal government in trying to balance their budget by placing social security funds into the general funds. Citizen Comment: Graves LaVern E. Graves, 905 North 28th Place, Renton, presented a letter and - Kennydale Open Space petition with 82 signatures to the Mayor and Council members requesting the Acquisition City acquire the property north of the Griffin Home along Lake Washington Boulevard in the area of North 28th Street for an open space public park. He noted that the area has a natural ravine with a creek that empties into Lake Washington at Gene Coulon Park and would be an ideal place for school field trips, an afternoon family outing or for a nice quiet walk. Mr. Graves cited the Renton Comprehensive Plan, Compendium of March 1986, which states that "natural vegetation, ravines, slopes and waterbodies should be preserved to retain open space." MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, THIS MATTER BE REFERRED TO THE PARK BOARD.* Upon Council inquiry regarding the zoning of the subject property and its designation in the Comprehensive Plan, John Webley, Acting Executive Assistant, responded that the area in question is R-1 (residential) and one that has been discussed for open space funds.

Citizen Comment: Saeger David Saeger, 1025 North 28th Place, Renton, reiterated that the subject area - Kennydale Open Space discussed by Mr. Graves is zoned R-1 residential. Acquisition 151 May 21, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 151 Citizen Comment: Gross - Susan Gross, 15807 SE 171st Place, Renton, requested assistance from the WSDOT, I-405 S-Curve City regarding the demolition of the houses on Renton Hill which are to be Project destroyed for the I-405 S-curve project. She stated that some of the houses have been vacant since last August and noted that these houses have suffered from vandalism and/or transients living in the vacant houses. She added that she had contacted the State office and received unsatisfactory answers as to when the demolition would be completed. Ms. Gross expressed concern for the remaining residents in the area who are subjected to the vandalism and transients as a result of the unfinished project. Councilwoman Keolker- Wheeler requested Administration look into this matter and contact the state to get some satisfactory answers. Mayor Clymer advised that he is scheduled to meet with Ron Johnson of the Washington State Department of Transportation on Wednesday, May 23rd to discuss these concerns. Councilman Stredicke questioned if the City has regulations pertaining to vacated houses. City Attorney Warren answered that some regulations exist which could be reviewed by the Building Department. Further discussion from the audience concluded that the only solution to the problem is to demolish the abandoned houses as soon as possible. Councilman Edwards questioned what authority the Renton Police Department had to cite people who are illegally present on the property. Mayor Clymer agreed to review the matter. Citizen Comment: Webb - Sandy Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, added that there is no order to I-405 S-Curve Project the way the houses are being taken down and suggested that the houses be demolished in sequence. He reiterated that the state either gives no answers or unsatisfactory answers regarding the current issues. He reported examples of possible violations of City Code regarding improper land use and zoning. Councilwoman Zimmerman recalled a meeting recently attended by the Mayor and Council members regarding the homes to be demolished and jurisdiction being removed from the City. She requested that the Mayor discuss the concerns over the jurisdiction of these homes when he attends the meeting on Wednesday with WSDOT. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler requested Council receive periodic update information regarding the S-curve project. Citizen Comment: Murray Mitch Murray, 2813 NE 23rd Place, Renton, referred to a public hearing - Honey Creek PPUD scheduled for 6/4/90, regarding the Honey Creek Preliminary Planned Unit 015-84 Development (PPUD-015-84). He requested that the public hearing before the City Council be postponed until a public hearing has been scheduled and held before the hearing examiner to review major changes to the PPUD. He cited the following changes: location and number of foundations; location of interior roadways; size and location of interior recreation areas; emergency access plans as currently proposed are unbuildable due to encroachment on neighboring property for construction purposes; alteration of traffic flow on the local neighborhood access has been changed from 23rd and Jefferson to Jefferson. Mr. Murray called attention to City Code which requires that the hearing examiner hold a public hearing for major changes in a revision to a PPUD, and stated that he felt the project should be reviewed by the hearing examiner to determine conformance to City Code and document the concerns of the public in an open forum. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler asked City Attorney Warren about the jurisdiction of this project. She noted that because the Honey Creek Project was begun several years ago, it was for the benefit of the new Council members to hear testimony in its entirety at Council rather than reading from a written document from the hearing examiner. Attorney Warren explained that the Council retained jurisdiction over the topic after an appeal had been filed regarding the emergency access on NE 23rd. He noted that several meetings had taken place regarding this issue and the Committee wished to make sure that the neighborhood had an opportunity to be heard on what type of improvements were necessary due to all the traffic being carried on a single access street. He reported that he was unaware of any new plans being submitted that may or may not be a major modification to the PPUD. He further stated that those changes must go before the hearing examiner as per City Code, but this matter is presently retained in the Council's jurisdiction and has been so for the past 18 months. May 21, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 152 Councilwoman Zimmerman questioned the public's right of appeal when heard by the Council as compared to being heard by the hearing examiner. Attorney Warren answered that if the hearing were held by the hearing examiner, the public has the right of appeal to the City Council. He added that if the Council heard the hearing, the appeal would then be to the courts. He stated that through the hearing examiners system, the appeal process is internalized as long as possible to give citizens, as well as developers, at least two opportunities locally to appeal. Citizen Comment: Hellene Tom Hellene, 18233 - 141st Avenue SE, Renton, referred to recent articles in - North Soos Creek the newspaper regarding the annexation of the Cascade Vista, Petrovisky and (Fairwood) Annexation Fairwood areas. He expressed concern about the statements of substantial i increase in opposition and no real support for the annexation. He stated that until there are firm answers, there is very little for a proponent to determine the appropriateness of the annexation. On the other hand, the opposition has a few facts, which are inaccurate. He referred to the Fairwood Flyer of April 15, 1990, which contained inaccurate information regarding the annexation issue. Mr. Hellene has developed a response to misinformation contained in the flyer which he felt contributes to the increased opposition. He stressed that the silence from the proponents and opposition from opponents need to be put in perspective. Citizen Comment: Marla McNeese, 12243 SE 184th, Petrovisky area, stated that she had gone McNeese - North Soos door-to-door in her neighborhood with a petition against annexation and Creek (Fairwood) obtained 90 signatures. She stated that she likes living in the county and has Annexation nothing against the City of Renton, but she is against the annexation.

CORRESPONDENCE A letter from Mayor Clymer was presented reporting the 1990 financial Finance: 1990 Financial outlook without the major construction at Boeing and PACCAR; and Outlook indicating the completion of an economic analysis for the years 1991 through 1995. The letter further reported that a formal administrative recommendation on budget alternatives will be presented to the Council in mid-June. Mayor Clymer stated that the letter was for information regarding the financial position at this time, and he had requested each department reduce their 1990 budget 2.4% of the remaining balance. When that material is ready and the second quarter revenue reports are in, a presentation will be made in June. He added that the City is still negotiating with PACCAR and Boeing. Upon inquiry from Councilman Tanner, Finance Director Clements explained revenue projections from Boeing and PACCAR projects contained in the 1990 preliminary budget. He indicated that the 8% reserve was lowered to fund projects added mid-year 1989 and 1990, but the projected increase in 1992-1994 property taxes would offset the dip. Upon further inquiry, Mr. Clements advised that excluding the shortfall from Boeing and PACCAR, the City has experienced a strong economy which has increased its financial base. The Administration is currently reviewing budget reductions to offset financial impacts from possible cancellation of the two major projects in order to meet shortfalls of approximately $600,000 for the remainder of 1990, and $1.3 million for 1991. Councilman Stredicke inquired how much money had been spent on the North Soos Creek annexation study. Mayor Clymer answered approximately $200,000 - 250,000 has been spent so far, which leaves a balance of approximately $70,000 - 75,000. Upon additional Council inquiry as to why the City has spent so much money without a 10% petition from the people who would be a part of the annexation, Mayor Clymer recalled the mid-year budget meeting when the question was raised whether the City should continue with the study for the annexation, and it was decided to continue the study, plus add an additional $100,000 to the budget for that project.

MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Community Services Committee Services Committee Chairman Zimmerman reported that the Committee Committee met last week on the North Soos Creek Annexation and did not Annexation: North Soos have an official report at this time. She requested additional input from Creek (Fairwood) Council regarding the annexation since there seems to be clear evidence of opposition and unclear evidence of support. Council discussion was held expressing the following concerns: absence of a 10°x6 petition or some firm commitment from the annexation area; amount of money expended and additional cost if the study continues; why the study has continued so long and no decision made. Preference was expressed for the study to continue because of the financial investment expended and suggestion made that fact cards be distributed on individual issues such as police protection, sewer, library, etc. for interested parties who have received misinformation. Another suggestion was made to petition the three areas, Cascade Vista, Fairwood, and Petrovisky separately, or hold a public meeting in the subject area to discuss pros and cons with staff and the area residents. Council expressed the need for a basic plan with specifics in order to resolve the issue for those undecided citizens. Also, the possibility of an elected community council with veto power over land use decisions in the subject area was suggested. Upon Council inquiry regarding annexation without the 10% petition, Mayor Clymer responded that the situation is unique. Annexations normally are the result of developers who wish to annex for the services the City offers such as sewer, water, etc. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler suggested that Administration give a presentation on how the annexation fits into the Growth Management Act in order to receive additional funding from the State since this is a growth issue and the decision should be based on the good for the City.

Y May 21 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 157 Planning: Kenworth Referred 5/14/90 - Council inquiry regarding PACCAR project: Project Memorandum from Mayor Clymer stated that the administration has done the following things to encourage PACCAR to develop in Renton: Provide a senior-level management task force to work through all of the site plan and development issues; prepared with Kenworth's staff a time and function schedule for project development; worked with the Department of Ecology and PACCAR to cooperatively develop a hazardous waste clean-up plan for the Renton site; hired a consultant to design an intensive citizen participation effort resulting in identification and scoping of impact issues, most noticeably traffic and parking; submitted a CERB grant application for $2.5 million to be used to improve freeway access to the site. CERB staff recommended that a grant of $2.1 million be awarded. In addition, a resolution is to be presented to the Council for adoption as a specific action to demonstrate the intent and willingness of the City to continue working with PACCAR management to make the development of the Renton parcel a reality. AUDIENCE COMMENT Tom Hellene, 18233 - 141st Avenue SE, Renton, thanked the Council for Citizen Comment: Hellene their patience and extensive comments and investigation regarding the North - North Soos Creek Soos Creek Annexation. He expanded on certain issues previously discussed. (Fairwood) Annexation He stated two reasons for the annexation study - one being the benefits of economy of scale in doing a wholesale versus a piecemeal annexation when it is probably that some sort of annexation is inevitable given the growth of the area. In the investment made by the City, a good portion was justified because of the planning process goals and rules that the Council needed to address in terms of the annexation policy. He agreed with Councilman Edwards that the study has dragged on too long. The original survey commissioned by the City did find significant interest in the annexation in general. Proceeding with or without a 10% petition is not an issue. Facts must be in the pocket before obtaining such a petition. He concurred that the decision must be based on whether the annexation is for the good of Renton. He stated that an election where the facts are unknown would produce undesirable results which is probably why the study has extended for longer than anticipated. Councilwoman Zimmerman thanked Mr. Hellene and others from the North Soos Creek area for input at the meeting. She stated that this is a complex situation and appreciated the efforts of those involved. Citizen Comment: Canter Walt Canter, Chairman of the N3A (Neighbors Allied Against Annexation) - North Soos Creek stated that his focus is against annexation. He stated that he has obtained (Fairwood) Annexation over 1900 signatures of those who are against the annexation. He opined that there would be an increase in property taxes based on information he heard tonight. He noted that the annexation has caused grief with King County by delaying road improvements on 140th Avenue, and disagreed with the rationale for the City to continue to spend money on the proposed annexation. Councilman Edwards stated that there has been no indication that there would be an increase in taxes in the City regardless of whether the annexation goes through. Councilwoman Zimmerman pointed out that the question of taxes could be looked at in another way by the residents in the annexation area. She noted that the growth pattern of other major cities that have incorporated has caused King County to lose surface, and the people should ask themselves will the taxes currently paid in King County remain unchanged if the annexation does not take place. Citizen Comment: Webb - Sandy Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, stated that the trouble with North Soos Creek any study that continues without any concrete results is that the lack of (Fairwood) Annexation information and misinformation creates opposition. He noted that as a citizen, he opposes the long program that costs the City $100,000 a year. He suggested that the City go on a crash program and determine what the major effects will be on the City if the annexation goes through and Renton becomes one of the largest cities in the state. He stated that initially he favored the annexation, but because of the way the City is going about it, he has grown to oppose it. Mr. Webb suggested that the City needs to inform the Renton residents as well as the North Soos Creek residents.

MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION. CARRIED. 163 June 4. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 163 PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published PUD: Preliminary, Honey in accordance with local and State law, Mayor Clymer opened the public Creek, PPUD-015-84 hearing to consider the Honey Creek Preliminary Planned Unit Development. The subject site is 14.06 acres of land located on the south side of Honey Creek in the vicinity of the 2200 block of Jefferson Avenue Northeast. Larry Springer, Planning Manager for the Community Development Department, presented a chronology of the project which began in late 1984. Mr. Springer reported that the Planning and Development Committee had directed staff to prepare a report and recommendation for final action on the project. Staff presented three options: (1) reject the redesigned emergency access only proposal for NE 23rd and thereby deny the proposed Honey Creek PPUD; (2) approve the redesigned emergency access only proposal for NE 23rd and thereby approve the proposed Honey Creek PPUD, and refer the matter to Ways and Means for action; (3) accept the staff recommendation for revised access to the project, and thereby approve the proposed Honey Creek PPUD including: emergency access only for NE 23rd Street;, emergency access only for the road along the south side of the project; relocate three buildings northward onto the lower part of the site adjacent to the other units. The matter would then be referred to Ways and Means for preparation of an ordinance and set June 18th as a public hearing date where Council can hear testimony on topics other than the access. Upon Council inquiry regarding the revisions and removal of landscape materials, Don Erickson, responded that a considerable amount will be preserved in its natural state. Mr. Erickson noted that there was a cooperative effort with staff, the developer, and other departments in making the revisions to the original plan. Council President Mathews asked if current code and PPUD requirements were being applied to this project since it was originally started in 1983-84 and has not received approval. Mr. Springer referred to City Code Title 4, Chapter 15, Sections 11, 12, 13 regarding timelines on planned unit developments and noted that the new code should be added as an amendment to the recommendations offered by staff in the report submitted to Council prior to final of the project. He noted that the letters from the Fire Marshall and Public Works Department had been received concurring that the redesigned emergency access meets the requirements presented to the Planning and Development Committee in December 1989. Council asked for clarification regarding the subject for discussion pertaining to the PPUD. Staff verified that the public notice specifically stated that the public hearing was on the access of the Honey Creek project. Council President Mathews reiterated e s eiterated that the access issue is the only type e of testimony to be heard before Council at this time. Comment from the audience was invited. Mitch Murray, 2813 NE 23rd Place, Renton, stated his opposition to the redesigned access. Mr. Murray noted concerns regarding the allowance of less than 20 foot width for the proposed emergency access; no allowance for gravel or drainage material; no guardrails along the road; the right of way below minimum standards. He recommended Devil's Elbow as the alternative for access which could be stabilized and also serve as a bike corridor and access to the sewer pump station at the base of the area. He requested that the revised access be denied because it is inappropriate to take action without a review by the hearing examiner as an independent analysis to clarify whether it meets code and allow public to have input. Virginia Hiramatsu, 2805 NE 23rd Place, Renton, stated that she is not opposed to the development itself but believes that the public would be better served with the plans as presented by Mr. Murray. Howard Coupman, 2809 NE 23rd Place, Renton, reiterated points made by Mr. Murray regarding Devil's Elbow as an possible alternative and stated his opposition to the current redesign. John Sargent, 2016 Edmonds Avenue NE, Renton, property owner next to the subject site stated that he felt there should be more negotiations. He expressed concerns regarding the need for retaining walls due to the unstable ground along the creek bed and the necessity for a wider emergency access road. Henry Jacobson, 13701 SE Allen Road, Bellevue, representing Honey Creek Associates, addressed the 18 foot access. He noted that the emergency access through the main entrance is a full 20 feet wide, and is an extension of a 164 i June 4, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 164 City street that would be on Harrington. It is a full City-wide street that has lights and sidewalks. It is designed to be safety conscious and has good visibility. He also noted that there are three different accesses to the development, and he has spent many hours working with the City to achieve beneficial results. He stated that he disagrees with the Devil's Elbow alternative presented by Mr. Murray. Bob Tomberg, 5611 - 119th SE, Bellevue, owner of the subject property, stated that he has worked on this project for six years; it has not been a rapid decision. There has been a lot of negotiation on both sides and he believes this is a good compromise for all concerned. He reiterated that Devil's Elbow is not a viable alternative for this project which is the opinion of experts from the City and County and other professionals. In his opinion, the i emergency access on 23rd is not necessary but provided as an extra benefit to the development. He stated that the project as recommended by staff meets all the requirements. John Best, 3337 - 259th Place, Issaquah, representative of Burnside Construction Company, who is purchasing the property to develop, noted that his company has a long history in development of quality neighborhoods. He stressed that the access as shown, especially the primary access, is adequate in and of itself in providing alternative emergency access. He stated that he is a developer who has had a long track record with successful projects on the east side. Randy Corman, 2216 Harrington Place NE, Renton, stated that after reviewing the staff recommendations to City Council, he disagreed with the report regarding the traffic route. He referred to Item 25 and 26 regarding the traffic flow through the neighborhood stating that this route through a single family neighborhood would be heavily impacted and recommended that further study be done on street improvements in the neighborhood or scaling down on the proposed number of units. Further Council discussion followed regarding the number of chained fences for emergency access within the City and the number of times these accesses have been used in emergency situations. Glen Gordon, Fire Battalion Chief, responded that the City has approximately 15 chained emergency accesses and in 20 years, these have been seldom used. I Councilman Edwards asked why the NE 23rd emergency access is necessary when there is a southerly access. Mr. Gordon explained that the road splits inside the development and if the south road is blocked, emergency vehicles cannot access the development. Therefore, there should be two separate accesses to the development. Councilwoman Zimmerman asked whether approval of the access as presented would give approval of the site plan, Mr. Springer explained that if the emergency access on 23rd is approved, that means the PPUD is approved as shown and then the final PUD could be started. Another public hearing could be held to discuss other items including relocation of buildings and modification of the site plan. Upon Council inquiry as to the redesign of the site plan, Mr. Springer answered that it was the result of combined efforts of the Planning and Development Committee and Mr. Jacobson, the potential purchaser of the PUD. Mr. Jacobsen redesigned the project and resubmitted it with the changes of the relocation of the three buildings. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED. CARRIED.

Box 755, Renton, requested Council advance to Old Advancement Requested Business to discuss the North Soos Creek Annexation. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO OLD BUSINESS, NORTH SOOS CREEK ANNEXATION. CARRIED. Annexation: North Soos Ken Nyberg, Director of Community Development Department, introduced Creek (Fairwood) Nancy Laswell Morris, Chief, Long-Range Planning, and Fred Fortine, Senior Planner, who presented a report on the relation of the Growth Management program to the North Soos Creek project and the pros and cons of the North Soos Creek Annexation for taxpayers in Renton. Referring to a map which showed sphere of influence, potential annexation boundaries and areas where city services are provided, Ms. Laswell Morris explained the current way planning is done in the city through an inter- jurisdictional planning puzzle between the city and county which includes transportation, land use, housing, utilities, and capital facilities. She reported that the Growth Management Bill mandates five major elements in growth management planning which are land use, housing, capital facilities plan (municipal land uses such as parks, etc), utilities and transportation. She stated that growth management mandates a balanced approach as compared to an isolated plan for the City. Ms. Laswell Morris explained a balanced system under the growth management which incorporates the five elements in relation to needs and the infrastructure capacity. Under this plan, the City becomes the focus with a series of four sectors radiating from the City, thus the North Soos Creek area becomes much more related to the City of Renton relative to planning. She further explained that under growth management, primary goals are an urban/rural boundary; concurrency, which is finance as you go with a focus on transportation; consistency between jurisdictions; a mandatory allocation of population growth in which the State will assign populations to the jurisdictions; and allocation of municipal land uses. Ms. Laswell Morris noted that according to the growth management act, the City would be required to analyze the North Soos Creek area because it would be within the City's eastern urban growth boundary, with the possibility of a southern boundary between Renton and Kent. Also, there would be an infrastructure analysis of expansion of City services such as transportation, water, sewer, storm water; and an analysis of municipal land uses such as library, fire, police, parks, and public works. Because of the annexation study by the City, certain elements of growth management have already been studied which include land use, housing, capital facilities, utilities and transportation. Ms. Laswell Morris presented the pros and cons in the areas of political influence, financial impact, land use, and municipal services. She then explained the general overview of the work program from June 1990 to November 1991 which included an immediate work program from June to October 1990 of public information, fact cards, public workshops and statistically valid surveys of both Renton residents and NSC residents. She presented the administration's recommendation to go forward with the work program and bring back to Council in October 1990 a go/no go decision based on facts, surveys of both groups, workshops and other community input. She explained that if the Council decides to go forward, then boundaries would have to be set for all, a portion, or larger than the initial study. In this particular time frame, an election in November 1991 would determine the annexation issue with an effective date of annexation on January 1, 1992. The reason for the November election is due to the timing of the work program, fiscal considerations and the cost of the election. i June 4, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 166 Upon Council inquiry of the financial impact of the work program for June through October 1990, Ms. Laswell Morris explained that the amount of money approved last year, $100,000, would be expended between now and December 31, 1990. She stated that the majority of the money would be expended by October 1990, prior to the go/no go decision. Further Council inquiry as to how much money would be required from the decision to proceed until the election process was answered by Ms. Laswell Morris that no budget has been prepared for what would be Phase III, but she would report back with that information. Councilwoman Zimmerman recalled that she had previously questioned the number of phases in this project and she had been assured that only two phases would be necessary. She expressed concern about the possibility of a Phase III. She applauded staff for the report on pros and cons and noted that this information is what the citizens needed. She also thanked the audience for their participation in the discussion. Upon Council inquiry, it was noted that at any point in the process, even after the election, the project can be terminated. Further discussion followed regarding the continued expenditure of funds, length of time of the study, advisory ballots, interlocal agreement process and statistical surveys, and time schedule for working with King County Boundary Review Board. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler expressed concern of unfairness to the citizens if the election were to take place in February and actual acceptance of the annexation in January of the following year because of inadequate level of services for annexing residents. She felt the election and annexation should occur concurrently when the tax dollars are available. MOVED BY ZIMMERMAN, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL INVITE AUDIENCE COMMENT. CARRIED. Don Newsome, 16605 - 127th Avenue SE, Renton, represented 100 members of Cascade Neighbors Network. He requested information regarding facts and figures of taxpayers' costs as a result of the annexation. Ruth Saari, 14317 SE 170th Street, Fairwood Greens, vice chair of Neighbors Allied Against Annexation, congratulated the Community Development Department for the award they received on the North Soos Creek Annexation Study and reported that her group has used the study and excerpts from it for their meetings and for gathering petitions against the annexation. She noted that her group is satisfied with the level of services received and taxes paid in King County, and suggested that the City save its taxpayers money and time and effort of city staff by abandoning the project. Mayor Clymer clarified the role of City staff to study and present information, not to promote annexation. Carol Schmidt-McGonegle, 15608 SE 168th Street, Renton, Fairwood Greens, stated that she favors annexation to the City and would be very proud to be a part of the City of Renton. She expressed concern regarding the inaccurate information being given out by the petitioners. She suggested a public forum of representatives from the County, City of Renton, and homeowners in the area in order to ask and answer questions to dispel rumors. Walter Canter, 14417 - S.E. 169th Street, Fairwood Greens Homeowners Association, expressed opposition to the annexation and stated that the City should redirect its limited funds and human resources toward addressing the State's Growth Management Act. Elizabeth Power, 15805 - 140th Ct. SE, Renton, stated that the citizens need facts in order to make a decision because if the vote is taken now, it would be defeated due to lack of information. Ray Collier, 17115 - 136th PI SE, Fairwood Crest, representing the Fairwood Crest Homeowners Association, stated that a vote regarding the annexation will be taken at a board meeting and announced at a later homeowners meeting and in the Fairwood Flyer newspaper which is the democratic process of making a decision. Adrian Ryneveld, 13057 SE 160th Pl, Fairwood West, provided background on the history of how the North Soos Creek annexation began. He recalled that approximately 3-5 years ago, a group of citizens who were associated with Fairwood Greens took a look at their surroundings and decided that the 167 June 4. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Parte 167 area was growing and there was possibly a lack of growth management. They formed the Fairwood Futures Committee and asked for input from the community. As a result of not finding any clear answers, the committee dissolved and a new organization called the North Soos Creek Annexation Committee was formed. Following a series of public meetings, the committee went to the City of Renton and asked staff for help -- a small group of people trying to find some answers, not a large movement for or against the annexation. He stated that Renton staff recognized that the answers the group were seeking would also be helpful to the City because of the common influence. As a result, a survey was taken to determine interest, but the issues showed a lack of information. A fiscal studied followed to learn fiscal ... impacts for both the City and the annexation area. Obviously the people in the area pointed out that they did not want to pay more taxes. The fiscal study was completed and a lot of other issues such as library, parks, fire protection, etc. were raised. In terms of annexation it was not clear how those issues would be resolved. He stated that even though it takes a considerable amount of time, it is important for the citizens to be informed and get answers ahead of time and that interlocal agreements can be negotiated. He requested that more information be given in order to make intelligent decisions regarding the annexation issue. Dick Allen, 14830 SE 172nd Place, Renton, stated that he felt the proposal is poorly timed and encouraged the City to study the annexation longer because it should be a friendly marriage between the two groups. Tom Hellene, 18233 - 141st Avenue SE, Renton, concurred that the Growth Management Bill should aid in the planning and coordination for the annexation. He noted that the 10% petition starts a clock running and an education process is vital to a valid election. He added that all areas need basic information before making a decision. Jim Ryan, 12740 SE 190th Place, Renton, stated that the decision to annex should be based on factual information and not emotions. He added that the common thread is that everyone is interested in the quality of life. He stressed the need for more information. .� Ed Kusmirek, 12916 SE 189th Place, Renton, stated that he and residents in his area are looking at what Renton can provide once the annexation takes place. He suggested that there should be a common form of communication between the citizens affected and the staff. MOVED BY ZIMMERMAN, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL CLOSE AUDIENCE COMMENT. CARRIED.

A vote was taken on the committee reports was a split, 3-3, decision. The Planning and Development Committee rescheduled a Planning and Development Committee review of this appeal. At the meeting of May 24, 1990, it was acknowledged that the council has indicated that there are mixed views regarding this development. It was also acknowledged that the concerns involved on-site recreation, traffic patterns, access to the property, and the propriety of the use of this location for multi- family. Also, two members expressed the additional concern that noise from the airport may have an impact on this project. It was felt by members of the committee that there may be a manner in which this project may be developed which would address all of those .Ar concerns and make this site conducive to multi-family dwelling. Therefore, the committee recommended that the council remand this application to the hearing examiner, with direction to consider the site plan in conjunction with the consideration of the rezone. For purposes of this remand, the site plan has been defined at the Planning and Development Committee Meeting of May 24, 1990. It is defined as Exhibit #10 to the application, overlaid on the core area of Exhibit #4 to the application.

Utilities Committee Utilities Committee Chairman Nelson presented a report recommending Public Works: Metro concurrence with the Public Works Department's recommendation to approve Sewage Disposal the amended sewage disposal agreement stating that the amendments proposed Agreement to the Metro-City of Renton agreement for sewage disposal would reduce the residential customer equivalency from 900 cubic feet per month to 750 cubic feet per month and would allow Metro to charge a connection fee to future customers to cover a portion of system capital costs. The Committee further recommended the action be sent to the Ways and Means Committee for preparation of a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the contract amendment on behalf of the City of Renton. MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Upon Council inquiry, Utility Systems Manager Richard Anderson explained that the base level for determining the sewage flow is the residential unit. Currently, the base rate if 950 cubic feet per month. Based upon studies done in the past 8-10 years, it has been decided that the rate is too high. It does not properly reflect the water usage and the amount of water that goes into a drainage from a residential unit. A more appropriate figure is the 750 cubic feet. The effect of the reduction is reducing the monthly sewage bill from Metro on residential customers, and that reduction will be approximately $1 per month. The other effect is to increase the rate to the bulk water users which are the commercial industrial businesses. Therefore, this is a more equitable distribution of the charges by Metro. *CARRIED.

SPECIAL Mayor Clymer presented Volunteer Service Awards to Gloria Tozer and Jerry PRESENTATION Hess for completion of 500 hours of service to the Renton Police Department, Police: Volunteer Service noting great pride in the service that the volunteers provide to the City. Awards Chief Alan Wallis commended both recipients for their service to the department, and called attention to the importance volunteers play in each department. Chief Wallis reported that Gloria Tozer began her service with the department in May of 1987; and Jerry Hess in August of 1988. Police: Introduction to K- Chief Wallis introduced Griz, the newest K-9 member of the Renton Police 9 Member Department. Griz is a 14-week-old German Shepherd who will be trained to assume the duties of Toby, the current police dog, upon his retirement. Councilwoman Nelson expressed deep-felt gratitude to both Toby and police officers responsible for the apprehension of the suspects involved in burglaries of the Renton Flower Shop and Cugini's Florist. i PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published PUD: Preliminary, Honey in accordance with local and State law, Mayor Clymer opened the public Creek, PPUD-015-84 hearing to consider the Honey Creek Preliminary Planned Unit Development site plan approval. The subject site consists of 14.06 acres of land located on the south side of Honey Creek in the vicinity of the 2200 block of Jefferson Avenue Northeast. Don Erickson, Chief of Current Planning for the Community Development Department, reported that this hearing is a continuation of discussion held at the June 4, 1990, public hearing regarding site access, and to discuss consideration of the amendments to the preliminary PUD site plan, which were initially approved by Council on April 4, 1988. The subject site is 14.06 acres which, under R-2 zoning, would allow an average density of 12.1 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is proposing 72 units on the site or an average density of 5.89 dwelling units per acre, which is less than the current ■.. 6 units per acre allowed under the R-1 zone. Mr. Erickson described the proposal to shift some of the townhouses to the south; and advised that of the 13 total buildings, eight contain two-story townhouses and five contain apartments. He indicated that traffic circulation pattern has changed, and the road on the south is now restricted in the revised PUD and will only be used for emergency access. This pattern creates a cul-de-sac with islands for recreational space up to the upper area. Utilities are available to the site; and because of isolation of the site, it would not impact the adjacent single family neighborhoods to the west. Mr. Erickson reported that during initial review, residents in the area had expressed the desire for development to curb trash dumping and motorcycle riding in the vicinity of the subject site. 184 f t June 18, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 184 I In response to Council inquiry pertaining to time constraints for completion of the development, Mr. Erickson noted that the newly adopted PUD ordinance requires a two-year period to submit the final PUD and a showing of progressive development; and further noted that Council may wish to consider a development agreement similar to that of Victoria Hills to assure timely completion of the project. Responding to further inquiry, Larry Springer, Planning Manager, reported that traffic exiting the site would utilize Harrington Avenue NE, and the developer is required to bring the streets to City standards by installing street lights and sidewalks to improve safety for area residents. Audience comment was invited. Reatha Andersen, 1908 Harrington Circle N.E., Renton; Don Brewer, 10218 - 65th Avenue South, Seattle, owner of rentals located at 2011 Jefferson Avenue NE at the entrance to the site; Mitch Murray, 2813 NE 23rd Place, Renton; Virginia Hiramatsu, 2805 NE 23rd Place, Renton; Howard Coupman, 2809 NE 23rd Place, Renton; Diane Coupman, 2809 NE 23rd Place, Renton; Brett Scott, P. O. Box 2752, Renton, property owner near subject site; addressed various concerns which are: 1.) Volume of traffic onto Harrington Avenue and Jefferson Avenue; 2.) Construction of emergency access road, NE 23rd Street, in close proximity to existing homes; 3.) Grade and width of emergency access roadway; 4.) Possible increased traffic flow onto Kirkland Avenue in order to access the Highlands Business District. It was also requested that the emergency access roadway be widened to City standards to allow for additional traffic flow into proposed development, and if the roadway is to remain an emergency access road and gated, that a chain link gate be installed to restrict pedestrian traffic. Henry Jacobson, 13701 S.E. Allen Road, Bellevue, representing Honey Creek Associates, discussed the 18-foot emergency access which has been revised to a full 20-foot width. NE 23rd Street will be an extension of Harrington Avenue NE, which will have street lights and sidewalks, thereby meeting safety requirements. Mr. Jacobson further noted that the grade and vegetation located along the proposed roadway will minimize any noise impact, but still allow for full visibility. Larry Springer, Planning Manager, recommended approval of the revised Honey Creek PPUD-015-84 as proposed by staff. (Staff report available in City Clerk's office.) In response to Council inquiry regarding relocation of NE 23rd Street at least 20 feet away from existing residential property lines, Mr. Jacobson reported that due to instability of the ground, relocation of the road would create an unsafe condition. He advised that the roadway was designed on an existing, stable road bed. Responding to concerns from abutting property owners as to potential damage to their property during construction of the roadway, Mr. Jacobson expressed willingness to discuss the matter of construction easements with the abutting property owners. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler expressed concern about relocating the roadway toward the slope area, thereby endangering the stability of the slopes, and further requested that as much vegetation be preserved as possible. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL APPROVE THE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS CONTAINED IN THE CITY COUNCIL RECORD OF DECISION, WITH THE ADDITIONAL CONDITION THAT THE AREA BETWEEN THE PROPERTY LINE AND THE NEW ROADWAY BE DENSELY LANDSCAPED WITH AS MUCH NATURAL VEGETATION AS POSSIBLE KEPT IN THAT AREA SO YOU CANNOT SEE THROUGH THE LANDSCAPING TO THE ROAD, THAT TIME LINES BE IDENTIFIED IN THE ORDINANCE, AND THE MATTER BE REFERRED TO WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.* For the record, Councilwoman Zimmerman reported that she and her husband own property in the 1700 block of Harrington Avenue NE. She indicated concern regarding the traffic impact generated from the development to the duplex neighborhood along Harrington Avenue NE in the adjacent area, and asked that the matter be reviewed by the Planning Commission. 185 June 18, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 185 Responding to Councilman Stredicke's inquiry as to usage of one-way metal teeth embedded in private roadways, Public Works staff agreed to review the matter. In response to further Council inquiry regarding the benefits of private versus public access to the site, Mr. Springer recommended that the roadway be City owned, signed, enforced, and maintained. *ROLL CALL: 3 AYES; 2 NAYS.

Plannine & Development Planning and Development Committee Chairman Tanner presented a report Committee stating that the Committee met on May 10, 1990, and June 12, 1990, to Appeal: Sunset Park consider the appeal on Sunset Park Phase II located at 4444 NE Sunset Phase II, Figgins, R-100- Boulevard. The applicant seeks approval to subdivide 1.44 acres into two 89 parcels, rezone Lot No. 1 from B-1 to R-3, rezone Lot No. 2 from B-1 restricted to B-1 unrestricted, and site plan approval for a 20-unit residential complex for Lot No. 1. Applicant appeals from a decision of the hearing examiner, dated March 20, 1990, denying the short plat. In the first two meetings, the Committee decided to table further discussion of the appeal to allow the applicant to work with staff and address concerns regarding access and the kind of development the applicant would construct at the site of Lot No. 2. i 194 � June 25. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Pan 194 i On June 12, 1990, the Committee decided to allow additional information to come into the record. The applicant notified the Committee that he and the abutting property owner, Chris Leady, had reached agreement regarding a cross-easement for purposes of traffic ingress and egress for the applicant's and Mr. Leady's properties. Therefore, the concerns of the hearing examiner's conclusions No. 1 and 2 regarding the short plat have been resolved. In light of these new facts, the Committee found that conclusions 1 and 2 are in error. The Committee found that the proposed construction an office building on Lot No. 2 and the attendant installation of a traffic light at Sunset and Anacortes will serve the public's interest and use. The Committee recommended that the short plat should be granted with certain conditions: 1. Development of the applicant's Lot No. 2 shall be compatible with Leady's development and with neighboring residential development. The compatibility should be determined by the City's planning staff during site plan review. The Committee believes that the planning staff, having participated in all of these discussions with the Committee and the applicant, understands what the Committee expects regarding compatibility of the site plans. 2. The applicant shall provide to the City for approval a copy of the cross- easements between applicant and Leady. 3. The traffic light at the intersection of Anacortes and Sunset will be installed by the applicant or his contractor. The applicant is entitled to a latecomer's agreement. 4. Applicant acknowledges that these conditions will be binding on him and any subsequent developer on Lot No. 2. The Committee recommended that the City Council uphold the recommendation of the hearing examiner to reclassify the northern portion of the site (Lot No. 1) from B-1 to R-3. Also, the Committee recommended that the City Council uphold the hearing examiner's recommendation to deny the rezone of Lot No. 2 from B-1 restricted to B-1 unrestricted. Finally the Committee recommended that the City Council reverse the hearing examiner's decision to deny the short plat, thereby granting the short plat with the conditions identified above.

The Committee concluded that the topic is very important and needs further discussion. Toward that end, the Committee recommended that (1) Council members plan to attend the Vision 2020 work session in Bellevue on July 11, 1990; and (2) the issue be placed on the ballot for voter approval.

She commented that there is a need for roads to precede land use rather than allowing development to determine location of roads. Councilman Tanner explained that the Committee supported transportation planning but not land use planning at this time. Councilman Stredicke called attention to the action taken at the June 18, .W 1990, Council meeting that authorized the Mayor and Council President to execute a letter to King County informing Councilman Bruce Laing of the City's support for Vision 2020.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Streets: 1991-1996 Six- in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public Year Transportation hearing to consider the 1991-1996 Six-Year Transportation Improvement Improvement Program Program (TIP). Transportation Systems Manager Melvin Wilson explained the (TIP) purpose of adoption of an annual TIP, and introduced Traffic Specialist Lee Haro to present the plan. Mr. Haro explained that the adoption of the annual Six-Year TIP is mandated by the State Legislature, and is submitted to the State Department of Transportation, Puget Sound Council of Governments, and adjacent municipalities following annual approval by the Council. The approved plan then becomes a foundation for the work the City does in the Now following year. The purpose of the TIP is to involve citizens and elected officials in the process of identifying the City's priorities for transportation improvement funding; and when those priorities are identified and the plan has been approved, funding authorities and adjacent jurisdictions are notified to assure coordinated planning throughout the region. In his presentation, Mr. Haro identified 53 projects which were listed and prioritized for completion during 1991-1996. The first ten priorities of the TIP are listed as follows: 1) Street Overlay Program 2) Oakesdale Avenue SW - SW 27th Street to SW 16th Street 3) North Renton Livable Streets i July 16, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 217 4) Park/Lake Washington Boulevard Intersection Improvements 5) Benson Road Improvement Study 6) South 43rd Widening (LID 329) 7) Park Avenue North, Bronson to North 10th Street 8) Mill Avenue South - Rebuild Joint WSDOT 9) Main Avenue South 10) Houser Way Relocated - Sunset Intersection to North 8th Street Mr. Haro explained that there are two proposed changes in the TIP as a result of the North Renton transportation revisions: 1) Create a new arterial route of Houser Way from Park to Sunset 2) Downgrade Wells and Williams near 4th and 6th from arterial to local street classification In response to a Council inquiry regarding funding sources for TIP projects, Mr. Wilson explained that traditionally the funding has come from the gas tax; occasionally Local Improvement Districts (LIDS), in which property owners assess themselves, have been used; and in some cases bond issues have been initiated. He discussed grant funds and Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) funds as project sources. In response to a question regarding the source of Transportation Improvement Account (TIA) funds, Mr. Wilson explained that these funds are administered by the TIB. He identified Priority #2, Oakesdale Avenue SW - SW 27th Street to SW 16th Street; and Priority #10, Houser Way Relocated - Sunset Interchange to North 8th Street, as projects being funded through TIA funds. Council discussed the possible adoption of the vehicle registration fee being considered by the King County Council and noted that implementation of this fee would produce approximately $350,000.00 in additional funds to the City. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER TO THE ADMINISTRATION TO DRAFT A LETTER TO THE KING COUNTY COUNCIL IN SUPPORT OF THE $15.00 VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEE.* Council expressed concern about the possibility that by adopting the $15.00 fee the tax burden is being shifted from the business community to City residents, and suggested that, if the tax base in King County appears to be shifting substantially from the commercial community to the residential stFt�C��p•REf1=R -TCS community, these taxes should be carefully considered before the business license fee is reduced and the vehicle registration fee is imposed. In response t,m.k .1.1 o'� to Council inquiry, Mayor Clymer explained that Renton businesses presently pay a business license fee of $55.00 per employee. The business community has assisted the City in lobbying for funding alternatives for transportation improvement, and some consideration has been given to the reduction of the business license fee if the vehicle license fee is imposed. President Mathews suggested that the State should be informed that the City is taking advantage of the various proposals for transportation funding made available by the State Legislature. Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, objected to any shift of taxes from the business community to residents, and stated that the continuation of the business license fee would be preferable to implementing a vehicle license fee. Ruthie Larson, 714 High Avenue South, Renton, expressed concern about the vehicle license fee, since there are six licensed drivers in her household, four under 25 years of age. MOTION CARRIED.* Councilman Edwards expressed concern that the proposed Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) had not given a higher priority to the Walkway Program. He noted that many of the City's arterial streets do not have walkways even though they are close to schools. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL INCREASE THE PRIORITY FOR THE WALKWAY PROGRAM NUMBER 25 ON THE TIP PROJECT LIST TO NUMBER 13, AND LOOK INTO FUNDING FOR THE WALKWAY PROGRAM ONLY AT 500 FEET PER YEAR FOR THE CITY SIDEWALK SYSTEM.

July 16, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 218 Councilman Stredicke pointed out that one of the changes in the TIP proposed by the Transportation Committee was the Transit Study which is the result of the downtown Renton program and citizens who have indicated a need for public transportation. Darrel Igelmund, 3602 Lake Washington Boulevard, Renton, expressed appreciation to the Transportation Systems Manager for the work that has been put into the TIP. He commented that it would be helpful to know which projects on the priority list have some expediency based on law or mitigation required of developers by the City.

Mayor Clymer stated that the matter is being reviewed, and that he will report to the Council as soon as he has definitive information on this matter. Citizen Comment: Staley Karen Staley, P.O.

APPROVAL OF Councilman Tanner called attention to the statements on Page 217 of the July COUNCIL MINUTES 16, 1990, minutes regarding the $15.00 vehicle registration fee, and requested .that additional information be included in the minutes. Council President Mathews indicated that approval of the minutes will be held until August 6, 1990, and asked the City Clerk to prepare the requested revisions. SPECIAL Utility Systems Manager Richard Anderson explained that the City entered PRESENTATIONS into a contract with the Carolyn Browne Associates consulting firm in April, CAG: 90-015, Aquifer 1990, to develop an Aquifer Protection Awareness program for the City of Protection Awareness Renton. Mr. Anderson introduced Consultants Carolyn Browne, and Fred Program Lighter, Marketing Director for the Seattle Aquarium. Ms. Browne explained that she has served as project manager of the consulting team and been involved in the marketing research aspects of the program. She said the other team members are Danelle Marks who produced the slide show presentation, and has worked with promotion and written material for brochures for the program; and Fred Lighter who is working on the educational, promotional and marketing aspects of the program. Ms. Browne further explained that the slide presentation is geared to the general audience and a script has been developed so that interested parties can easily present the program to community groups. Ms. Browne narrated the slide presentation which stresses the importance of water, points out that 93% of the City of Renton's water is supplied by the Cedar Valley aquifer, explains ways to preserve and protect the City's aquifer from contamination, and creates an awareness that every citizen can take steps to prevent contamination of this valuable resource. In response to an inquiry from Council regarding distribution of this message, Ms. Browne stated that there will be a kickoff for the program on September 6, 1990, at Liberty Park; there will be a display at Renton River Days; information will be distributed to the people calling the information number; a speakers bureau will be established to present the material to community groups; continuing information will be published in newspapers and other publications; a logo has been developed that will be displayed all over the City; and aquifer awareness information will be included in the school curriculum of the Renton School District in September, 1990. Council suggested the team provide private schools and preschools with this material, provide information regarding alternative products for cleaning and yard care and how they can be used; develop a video program; and use the government access cable channel to provide information to the public. 226 July 23, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 226 Public Works: Sewer Richard Anderson, Utility Systems Manager, reported that due to extensive Moratorium Update development and annexation activity within the East Renton area, an engineering investigation of the sanitary sewer system in the South Highlands, Maplewood, and Heather Downs sub-basins was performed in the spring of 1989. This investigation showed extreme capacity problems in the South Highlands and Heather Downs sub-basins, and limited available capacity in the Maplewood sub-basin. He stated that as a result of this investigation, the Council passed Resolution No. 2764 on July 17, 1989, which established a moratorium, in effect until January 31, 1992, on the connection of new construction to any of the existing sanitary sewers in the South Highlands, Maplewood, or Heather Downs sub-basins. Mr. Anderson said that the moratorium gave limited exemption to nine properties: 1) Old National Bank; 2) Eastway Center; 3) Briar Patch (Carner Construction); 4) Oakwood Homes; 5) Crown Point II (Polygon); 6) The Orchards (Northward); 7) King County Consolidated shop site; 8) King County possible temporary jail; and 9) King County transfer station. These properties were permitted to connect to sewers only until 125 equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) have connected, with the provision that the developers could make additional interim improvements to the existing system to provide capacity to satisfy their needs. Mr. Anderson reported that the Public Works Department engineering and maintenance staff are currently reviewing the preliminary draft of the City's 1983 Sanitary Sewer Comprehensive Plan and the remaining activities on this project include: 1) Final draft preparation (September 1990). 2) Review by Planning Department, including SEPA review process (November, 1990). 3) Finalization of the Comprehensive Plan, culminating with Council approval (January, 1991). 4) King County and Department of Ecology review and approval (April, 1991). The East Renton Interceptor has been identified as a proposed sanitary sewer system addition in the Comprehensive Plan update. Mr. Anderson reiterated that there were nine developments in process upon implementation of the moratorium, and the study identified 125 available EDUs. Two developers presented a proposal and were approved to use 30 of those EDUs; subsequently, two additional developments (Crown Point II and Union Plaza) made proposals for interim improvements to create capacity. In the Crown Point proposal, the proposed improvements would have increased the available capacity to 235 EDUs, and the developer would use a portion of that leaving approximately 50 dwelling units capacity in the system. The Orchards proposed improvements which would produce about 900 EDUs of capacity, and of that capacity, once the developers had developed their portion, 160 EDUs of capacity would remain. Two developments are under way and two are still pending. Mr. Anderson reported further that the King County shop site requested an exemption from the moratorium which Council did not approve due to the possibility of setting a precedent for granting an exemption to a development not listed in the moratorium. Mr. Anderson said the King County transfer station submitted plans in 1988 to upgrade the facility to meet State of Washington minimal functional standards. He noted that the County has not yet requested Council exemption for this site. In response to Council inquiry regarding the proposal to add facilities to the transfer station project to collect surface water, Mr. Anderson said that there is a concern regarding rain and snow water collecting in long haul trailers in the transfer station parking lot and picking up liquid waste that may wash into the storm drain system creating a possible hazard to the City's aquifer. Mr. Anderson said the City proposed a portion of those surface areas be connected to the sanitary sewer system. In response to a Council concern regarding the transfer station's compliance with minimum functional standards, Mr. Anderson assured Council that staff is looking into this matter. July 23, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 227 Mr. Anderson reported that a scoping document for the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been prepared for the East Renton Interceptor project, and on Wednesday, July 24, 1990, a community meeting will be held to discuss this matter. The scoping notice contains four alternatives: 1) No action. No major improvements would be constructed. 2) South Highlands Sewer Interceptor. Involves constructing an East Renton sewage lift station near the intersection of NE 4th Street, near 140th Avenue SE, and installing 4,200 feet of 8, 12, and 15-inch sewer main in NE 3rd and 4th Streets. 3) West Maplewood Interceptor. Requires the same lift station at NE 4th and 140th Avenue SE, and instead of constructing a new trunk line along NE 3rd and 4th, about 4,200 feet of 8, 12, and 15-inch main would be constructed primarily running north and south from NE 4th to connect directly into the METRO Interceptor along the Cedar River. 4) Maplewood Heights Interceptor. Consists of approximately 12,300 feet of 8, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 inch pipe to be located within rights-of-way in primarily residential area from NE 4th Street and 136th Avenue SE to the Metro Interceptor in the Maplewood Golf Course, Mr. Anderson stated that all of these alternatives cost about the same. He said that the Maplewood Heights alternative would service the greatest area, and the other alternatives involve a pump station to pick up drainage from the lower elevations and pump them over the hill and down into the trunk systems. Mr. Anderson said staff plans to complete the EIS by Spring 1991; staff is presently working on completion of the preliminary design report; final design will be completed August, 1991; and construction should be completed by February, 1992. In response to a question from Councilman Edwards regarding the effect Maplewood Heights septic tanks would have on the Renton aquifer, Mr. Anderson said there could be a possible threat to the aquifer, but an assessment has not been made on the extent of the septic systems and the integrity of those systems. In response to Councilman Edwards' inquiry whether the Maplewood Heights interceptor alternative would serve everyone included under the other two alternatives, Ms. Guttmann said that the Maplewood interceptor is the most inclusive alternative. In response to an inquiry from Council regarding the funding for an interceptor project and whether utility rates would be affected, Mr. Anderson said benefitting properties would be required to pay for the sewer interceptor, and service boundaries play a major role in the spread of any assessment. He also stated that there are a number of funding sources such as revenue bonds, Local Improvement Districts (LIDs), sewer rates, grant monies, state loans, and developer fees. Councilman Edwards asked if sewer bills would increase for residents on Talbot Hill, West Hill, and North Highlands because of construction of one of these alternatives. Mr. Anderson said if revenue bonds were used as a funding source, the interest payment would be recouped through a small increase in utility rates, but he also stated that interceptors are traditionally paid for through the Local Improvement District and the benefitting properties. Administrator Lynn Guttmann said that the complicating factor for the Maplewood interceptor alternative which goes through County property is that the City may disallow properties to attach to it; in which case, until those properties are allowed to attach to that interceptor, the City would hold the cost, as it does for a latecomer agreement. In response to a Council inquiry asking how land use controls imposed in the King County area north of Maplewood would be handled in the EIS, Mr. Anderson said the issue will be discussed. AUDIENCE COMMENT Larry Frazier, Seattle Master Builders Association, 215-112th Avenue NE, Advancement Request Bellevue, addressed the matter of development fees. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO OLD BUSINESS, UTILITIES COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. 228 July 23, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 228 Citizen Comment: Correspondence was read from Larry Frazier, Seattle Master Builders Frazier, Seattle Master Association, 2155-112th Avenue NE, Bellevue, objecting to 136% increase in Builders Association - development fees, and requesting that fee increases be elevated gradually over Development Fees time. Citizen Comment: Gilroy, Correspondence was read from Richard Gilroy, Northward Development, Northward Development 1560 140th Avenue NE, Bellevue, objecting to the increase in development - Development Fees fees, and suggesting the City place a hold on the fees at current rates until a time and materials method of assessing and recovering review and inspection fees can be developed. Mr. Gilroy commended the Council for encouraging public participation in this matter. Utilities Committee Utilities Committee Chairman Nelson presented a report stating that the Public Works: Committee met on July 23, 1990, to consider revision of the Development Development Fees Fee Schedule, and recommended concurrence with the Public Works Department's proposed revised Development Fee Schedule. The Committee further recommended that the matter be referred to the Ways and Means Committee for preparation of an Ordinance adopting the revised development fees. Councilwoman Nelson introduced Utility Plan Review Supervisor Gregg Zimmerman who presented information on the revision of the Development Fee Schedule. Mr. Zimmerman stated that the City's current development fees are, on the average, eight years old, and that over the last eight years the inventory value of City utilities, specifically the sewer and water utilities, has more than doubled. He said that the proposed fee schedule rates are comparable to the rates charged in surrounding municipalities. Mr. Zimmerman explained that the proposed fee increases have been communicated to the development community and property owners through newspaper articles, public notices, and meetings with Seattle Master Builders Association, Renton Chamber of Commerce, and The Boeing Company; and that staff has incorporated public input into the proposed fee schedule. He further stated that the City is currently severely undercharging development fees, and revenues from present fees are lower than the cost of doing business. Mr. Larry K. Frazier, Director of Local Government Affairs, Seattle Master r�.r Builders Association, 2155 112th Avenue N.E., Bellevue, commented that the meetings with the City of Renton were very productive, and his company had no quarrel with City staff. He said he realized that it has been eight years since fees have been raised in Renton, but felt a 136 percent increase was somewhat excessive. Mr. Frazier suggested that the City use a cost accounting process rather than comparing rates with other cities. He also suggested that the City consider a slow approach to increasing these fees and carefully consider impact on the development community. Council President Mathews said when the trip generation fee was adopted for transportation, the City gave developers the option to document the impact of their project and be granted a fee reduction if appropriate. Ms. Mathews suggested that since the City and developers agree that a calculation of fees based on time and material would be fair and the City is not prepared to do such calculations at this time, it may be worthwhile to consider allowing the developer a similar option for development fees. Ms. Mathews also suggested the development community and the City work on incentives for developers who agree to provide more affordable housing units within their developments. In response to Council inquiry as to whether the City is currently undercharging for items, Mr. Zimmerman said that the City is undercharging for site plan review and inspection. He said that the installation fees charged are time and materials fees, and it is felt that flat rate fees will be fairly representative of cost. In response to Council inquiry regarding the method of determining multifamily and single family residential fees, Mr. Zimmerman said plan review fees are charged identically for commercial, single family residences, or multifamily residences, and that special utility connection fees are virtually identical because they are charged on an area basis. He added that the fee increases are intended to be the same for all development communities. Mr. Edwards asked what the average increase in price of a single family home would be as a result of these fees. Mr. Zimmerman said this is difficult to estimate because it involves many factors including market demand, but if the market bears the increased fee directly, the cost would be approximately $1100-1200. 229 July 23, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 229 In response to a question regarding assessments paid by property owners, Mr. Zimmerman said if a city has a system on line and ready to accept sewage and provide water for a new development, it is considered fair to distribute the historical cost of building that system to the new user. He stated further that the special utility connection charges take the inventory value of the major portions of the utility and distribute it throughout the entire city on an area basis. Further, when a development wants to tie into that system, the aerial distribution is used to determine how much percentage of that historical cost the development should pay in order to buy into the system. Mr. Zimmerman said the special assessment district is similar, but it is for a special local area for which the City has installed a pump station. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Council President Mathews suggested that staff check the calculations in the letter from Northward Developers; and look at the trip generation fee option to determine whether it would be feasible to incorporate a similar option into the proposed development fee schedule ordinance. Councilman Tanner said time and attendance is a cost generating system and questioned how a developer could perform these calculations for the City. Administrator Guttmann stated that the City does have a job costing system, but administrative help is not currently available to provide information. Ms. Guttmann also stated that addition of staff to administer a detailed system is part of the reorganization plan. *MOTION CARRIED. For the record, Councilman Stredicke stated that his "no" vote on this motion was not a support for lower fees; and Councilman Edwards said he voted against the motion because he does not fully understand how the fees are being calculated. Council commended Gregg Zimmerman for the excellent work he has done for the Committee and the executive summary he prepared for Council.

PRESS Tina Hilding, Valley Daily News. APPROVAL OF Correction to minutes of July 16, 1990, replace paragraph 6, page 217, COUNCIL MINUTES discussion regarding tax revenue sources during the public hearing for the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program with the following: "Noting that the per capita business license fee on some of the TIP projects extends through 1996, Councilman Tanner asked whether that represents a policy statement by the administration. Mayor Clymer stated that in view of the sunset clause for the fee, other options are being considered such as a street utility to shift the burden from commercial to residential owners. Councilman Tanner said that it would be difficult to shift a portion of this to the residential users considering the fact that the residential property tax burden is picking up more and more of the general tax burden. Mr. Wilson explained the assumption that funding available from the per capita license fee would be reduced as new sources are developed under the current gas tax program. "Mr. Tanner advised that personally he would not have too much difficulty with the $15.00 vehicle license fee currently being considered by King County except if it is based on the stated intent to reduce Renton's per capita business license fee by the new tax. He requested an explanation of the basis for the premise to reduce the tax burden on businesses and increase it for Renton residents. Mayor Clymer replied that when the sunset clause was renewed last fall on the business license tax, he complied with the request of the business community to form a business/citizens' committee to lobby for other tax revenues with the understanding that the business license tax would be decreased or eliminated if other funding sources became available, including a vehicle registration tax. Mayor Clymer also pointed out that an initiative petition currently being circulated would, if approved, repeal all taxes adopted during a specific period of time. Council President Mathews suggested that if the tax base in King County appears to be shifting substantially from the commercial community to the residential community, these taxes should be carefully considered and discussions held with business owners to determine the best interest of the City before the business license fee is reduced and the vehicle registration fee is imposed." MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL APPROVE THE MINUTES OF JULY 16, 1990, AS CORRECTED. CARRIED. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL APPROVE THE MINUTES OF JULY 23, 1990. CARRIED. Councilman Tanner requested a list of members of the Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee which was formed to study alternatives to the business license head tax. 'j August 6. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 238 PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Zoning: Duncan in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public Annexation & Concurrent hearing to consider imposition of R-1, single family residential, zoning for Rezone the Duncan annexation area. The subject site is 42.54 acres bounded by Jones and Lincoln Avenues NE, NE 43rd Street, 112th SE and NE 36th Street. The annexation was requested by property owners to secure adequate domestic water service, fire flows, and sewer service for future residential construction. On March 5, 1990, the Council held the first of two required public hearings on the zoning of property encompassed by the Duncan annexation. At the first hearing, Council indicated that the subject site could be a rezone to a density higher than single-family, consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan but expressed concern regarding the City's ability to provide adequate fire protection at this time. Senior Planner Rubin Yu indicated that on May 28, 1990, the King County Boundary Review Board approved the Duncan Annexation/rezone, and on June 25, 1990, the Renton City Council adopted Ordinance No. 4275 approving the Duncan annexation. Mr. Yu reviewed the Planning staff recommendation that Council approve the rezone to R-1, single family residential, zoning on the subject site. In response to Council concerns regarding adequate fire protection in this area, Battalion Chief Glen Gordon said that the fire service issues at the present time are water availability and the location of Fire Station 12 which would be the first response station for this area. He explained that most of the recent building in the area has been commercial and presently sprinkler systems are required in new structures. Chief Gordon also commented that he would strongly recommend that sprinkler systems be required on all residential building in the area. To mitigate concerns about fire protection, Council President Mathews suggested that a G-1, general, zoning classification be assigned to the subject site as a holding zone. Mr. Yu explained that all of the existing homes in the area would then be non-conforming and would not be allowed to rebuild if destroyed by fire. Ralph Shaw, 8415 110th Place, Renton, said that since he has a home in the area, he is concerned about possible establishment of multi-family residential zoning in the annexed area. He commented that fire protection is also an issue of concern to him. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PLANNING DIVISION RECOMMENDATION TO REZONE THE PROPERTY ENCOMPASSED BY THE DUNCAN ANNEXATION TO R-1, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, AND REFER THIS MATTER TO THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE. CARRIED. Councilman Stredicke requested that the administration notify the Council of any construction within the Duncan annexation area. Councilwoman Zimmerman requested that the administration investigate the cost of construction and staffing for a fire station facility to provide adequate fire protection services in the annexed area. Planning: Noise Level This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Ordinance in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public hearing to consider a draft ordinance regarding noise generated from stereos and/or sound systems in moving vehicles. Correspondence was read from Mary Wolfgram, 204 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, expressing support of a noise ordinance for the City and urging regulation of sound systems and other noise disturbances. Marge Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, stated she lives on a corner lot and is disturbed by a variety of noises constantly. She expressed concern that the proposed definition of audible noise at a distance of 75 feet from the source would not be an adequate measurement for homes on small lots located on major arterials, and suggested that the posting of signs might assist in the control of excessive noise. Versie Vaupel, P.O. Box 755, Renton, expressed her support of the noise ordinance and suggested that other noises, such as bus and truck back-up beepers, commercial pagers, lengthy running of auto/truck/bus engines, auto 239 August 6, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 239 horns, and auto repairs be regulated in addition to "boom boxes", radios, and similar music producers. For the record, Councilman Stredicke announced that Bob Larson from Renton Hill, Eugene Parsons from Rolling Hills, and Blanche Karinin from Maplewood Park, called him to express their support for a noise ordinance. In response to a Council inquiry regarding measurement of noise to be designated in the ordinance, City Attorney Warren said that he would prefer that the decibel rating be designated for a specific distance because this kind of measurement is more precise and more capable of proof. He also stated that measurement equipment would have to be available to the appropriate personnel. In response to an inquiry regarding the City's present noise ordinance, Mr. Warren recommended that Council investigate the factual findings regarding the regulation of noise prior to making a decision on whether to amend the City's present noise ordinance or to establish a new ordinance. Councilman Tanner said that he had requested previously that staff contact San Antonio, Texas, regarding the noise meter program in that City. Mr. Warren said he would obtain that information for Council. Council indicated an interest in investigating decibel meters as a measurement devise to be used for enforcement of a noise ordinance. Versie Vaupel commented that even without a device to measure sound, this ordinance could be used as a warning by a police officer to enforce a complaint against a violator. Ralph Evans, 3306 NE Ilth Place, Renton, commented that even with the use of decibel meter readers, a distance measurement would be required. Councilman Tanner explained that the decibel reading is a pressure reading, and is based on a scale that is supposed to approximate the average human ear. Dennis Anderson, 3300 Lake Washington Boulevard North, Renton, indicated a preference that the ordinance include a time restriction such as, no noise after 10:00 p.m., because he did not believe this ordinance as proposed would be enforceable. Sandy Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, commented that he felt this ordinance would be very difficult to enforce even with decibel meters because a meter is something you use when you have source and a target. Councilman Edwards indicated that he would like this ordinance to be enforceable against noise levels at home or in a car and expressed his endorsement of a decibel meter. In response to a question from Marge Richter regarding whether the present noise ordinance applies to holiday noise, City Attorney Warren said he would check the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) to obtain this information for Ms. Richter.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11 th Place, Renton, requested that Council discuss the Advancement Request Good Shepherd group home rezone, NE 19th Street. MOVED BY ZIMMERMAN, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO OLD BUSINESS, COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Community Services Community Services Committee Chairman Zimmerman presented a report Committee stating that on August 7, 1990, the Committee discussed Ralph Evans' Rezone: Good Shepherd inquiries regarding City action on a zoning reversion for the Good Shepherd Group Home Rezone (NE group home property on NE 19th Street, and reviewed the procedures 19th Street), R-010-88 necessary to adopt a rezone ordinance for Good Shepherd. The Committee requested an opinion from the City Attorney concerning its jurisdiction to handle this matter, and was advised that the matter is an administrative determination which should be handled pursuant to City Code. In a memorandum responding to the Committee's request for an opinion concerning Mr. Evans' appeal rights, City Attorney Warren offered the following information: 1) The Council retains the final authority on zoning matters, and that authority is exercised by passing a zoning ordinance with conditions the Council chooses to impose upon the zoning action. 3) Once approved, enforcement and application of the ordinance is passed to the administration. 4) Administration of the application includes issuance of a development permit. 5) Any citizen aggrieved by the administrative determinations can appeal within fourteen days after the issuance of the development permit. 6) After the appeal period has expired, the developer has the right to rely upon that permit and begin development without fearing that the permit will be challenged. Mr. Warren further stated that if the appeal period has run, Mr. Evans' complaint would be treated as a complaint of non-compliance with the land use decision (City Code Section 4-8-11A.3). Since it appears that the administration has already rejected his complaint, if there is no administrative appeal right remaining, his only forum would be the courts. MOVED BY ZIMMERMAN, SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* 251 August 13, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 251 Ralph Evans pointed out that the issuance of the Good Shepherd building permit was first discussed at the Committee of the Whole meeting of April 23, 1990, and the Committee did not mention an appeal period at that meeting or in its report dated May 7, 1990. He said he examined building permit lists from April 16, 1990, to the present, and did not find evidence of issuance of a permit for Good Shepherd. He also stated that, in his opinion, since parties of record have not been notified, the public has not been made aware of the issuance of a building permit for this property. Mr. Evans questioned whether the Mayor's statement at the August 6, 1990, Council meeting concurring in the staff recommendation regarding this matter would be an considered an administrative determination or an answer to a question. He said City Code Section 4.8.11 B.1 allows appeals to be made in the 14-day period following an administrative determination. Councilman Tanner stated that the Community Services Committee took the position that there was an administrative determination that the condition of the rezone to develop the property within one year was met by staff through the issuance of a building permit. He said that the recommendation of the Committee is that the Council accept the Committee report and allow Mr. Evans to go forward with whatever appeal rights are available to him. *MOTION CARRIED. Advancement Request Joan Walker, 1433 Monterey Avenue NE, Renton, asked Council to discuss the funding request from the Downtown Renton Association (DRA). MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO CORRESPONDENCE, ITEM 6.A. CARRIED. Citizen Comment: Councilman Stredicke requested that he be excused from Council Chambers Kavesh, Downtown during the discussion of this matter due to a possible conflict of interest. Renton Association Correspondence was read from Jerry Kavesh, President, Downtown Renton (DRA) - Request for Association (DRA), 230 South Main, Renton, stating that the Association Contribution anticipates a three-year start-up budget of approximately $200,000, and is presently raising money throughout the community. He requested that the City contribute $20,000 per year for two years to supplement the funds raised and to allow the DRA to hire a full-time professional administrator to oversee the Association's revitalization efforts in downtown Renton. Joan Walker, 1433 Monterey Avenue NE, Renton, emphasized the importance of the need to hire someone to provide direction to the volunteers and committees of the Downtown Renton Association. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL REFER THIS REQUEST TO THE ADMINISTRATION TO REVIEW AND FIND FUNDING WITHIN THE CITY BUDGET FOR THIS PROJECT.* Moved by Tanner, seconded by Zimmerman, to table the motion until such time as the administration checks with the State Attorney General to determine whether it is legal for the city to donate tax money to a private enterprise. Motion failed. ORIGINAL MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Edwards stated his opinion that the City should not be the major contributor of funding. In response to a question raised by Councilman Tanner regarding voting procedure for the Mayor Pro Tempore, Assistant City Attorney Bob Sewell stated that Mayor Pro Tempore Nelson is legally authorized to vote on funding issues. Councilman Stredicke returned to the Council Chambers, having not participated in the discussion nor the vote on this matter. Citizen Comment: Cecile Maxwell, Chairperson, Duwamish Tribe Council, 15616 First Avenue Maxwell, Duwamish South, Seattle, stated the Duwamish Indian Tribe's concern regarding Tribe - Earlington Woods preservation of the archaeological finding of an Indian winter village believed to have been of the Duwamish Tribe, located on the site of the Holly Corporation (Earlington Woods) apartment project, a 196 unit complex located on SW 5th Street. The village was identified 10 years ago during review of the CHG International Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PPUD). 252 August 13, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 252 Principal Planner Don Erickson stated that there are two areas on the site that had been identified for preservation by restrictive covenants, and easements have been included to assure future access for archaeological study. An additional archaeological area has been identified, and the Holly Corporation has agreed to seal this area as well. Mr. Erickson said that he has been advised by the City Attorney that this issue is legally under the jurisdiction of the State of Washington, not the City of Renton, and the State has determined that it will not become involved in this situation or issue an archaeological permit for the site. He said that this State permit applies to the removal of burial remains and archaeological excavations, and since nothing is being removed from the site, the State permit would not apply to this circumstance. In response to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's question about the existence of a mechanism for the City to appeal the State's determination, Mr. Erickson said he was not aware of any. Ms. Keolker-Wheeler said the Duwamish Tribe is very important to the history of this City, and it seems the City should be in a position to use its authority to urge the State to deal with the issue. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, THAT THE ADMINISTRATION CONTACT THE STATE TO REVIEW THIS ISSUE AND DECIDE WHETHER THEY CAN DEAL WITH IT AT THIS TIME IN VIEW OF NEW INFORMATION.* Councilman Stredicke stated that this subject was discussed by Council several years ago, and he felt that if there was a find of significance, the State would have directed that the City not build on the property. He further stated that since the developer is voluntarily modifying the building permit to meet the demands of the Muckleshoot and Duwamish Tribes, this matter should be handled by City administration. Councilman Tanner said that since the City issued a building,permit and allowed development to proceed, an appeal to the State is unwarranted at this time. Councilman Edwards commented that it appears that the proposed modifications will ensure that the site will not be disturbed. Mr. Erickson said the identified areas would be sealed until technology is available to excavate the site. Councilwoman Zimmerman commented that she has consistently been concerned about historical artifacts and housing in the City, and this site is of great historical significance to the Duwamish Tribe, the City, and the State. James Rasmussen, 3425 21st Avenue South, Seattle, said the previous study in 1979-80 was funded by CHG International, Inc. because the company wanted to develop the site. The company discontinued financial support of the study when it appeared it would not be able to develop the property. The Duwamish Tribe was unable to establish its own study at that time. He stated that some valuable artifacts have already been destroyed or removed from the site. He advised that construction is continuing on the site and the Tribe is unable to work at a fast enough pace to prevent further destruction. He urged that since complete study of the site has not been done, the City should endeavor to find out what is on the site before construction begins. Mr. Rasmussen further stated that it is painful for his family, his Tribe, and concerned members of the community that construction continues and that the main emphasis in this situation is funding. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler said that the City issued the building permit in good faith on the basis of a study that was accurate at the time, and neither the City, the developer, nor the Duwamish Tribe were aware of what the site contained. She said that since circumstances have changed, the City should attempt to correct the situation and bring in the authorized jurisdictions to find a solution. She suggested that when the historical value of the site is determined, appropriate action can be taken. In response to a question from Councilman Stredicke regarding liability if the City were to stop construction and the contractor did not voluntarily cease work on the site, Assistant City Attorney Sewell said he felt if the building permit process were stopped, the City would be exposed to liability. He stated that the City Attorney's office conducted legal research on this subject and found that the City is preempted by the State from involvement in the issue. 253 August 13, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 253 *MOTION CARRIED. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler requested the letter be sent immediately and President Pro Tempore Nelson requested a copy be sent to the City Attorney.

She said the dust problems have not been alleviated, gravel has been dumped on her property, and a truck ran into her fence. In response to Council inquiry, Executive Assistant Jay Covington said staff will look into this matter on Tuesday, August 14, 1990, as requested by Council.

During the study, the following issues will be considered: 1) Re-establishing the treatment plant's primary and secondary capacity; 2) Evaluating the influent-effluent conveyance capability; 3) Developing an energy plan; 4) Improving engineer plant control measures; 5) Reviewing design of alternative odor control and liquid and solid processing; 6) Analyzing the plant's ultimate capacity; and 7) Identifying and mitigating environmental impacts. Referring to a video and charts, Mr. Woberton outlined the project schedule as follows: 1) August 1990 to mid-1991 - Predesign study tasks 2) 1991 - Site preparation begins 3) 1991 - Class A sludge implementation begins 4) Mid-1991 - Facility plan completed 5) Mid-1991 - Environmental process begins 6) 1992 - Final design begins for phase implementation 7) 1992 - Phased construction begins 8) 1995 - Construction completed August 20, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 262 The goals of the project are to protect the use of the site to ensure Metro has flexibility into the future, and to implement a good neighbor policy that includes consideration of commercial development, adjacent apartments, pedestrian, Heron Rookery, and environmental issues in the area. Key issues to address are: 1) Identification of ultimate load for the plant; 2) Expansion facilities operational by 1995; 3) Recognition of neighborhood changes; 4) Consideration of changes in regulations regarding effluent materials, sludge, and air quality; 5) Recognition of public demands; Oak 6) Consideration of cost concerns; 7) Building upon existing facilities and expertise; and f 8) Consideration of risks involved.

On Sunday, August 19, an article appeared in the local newspaper stating that two representatives of the North Renton community were denied sidewalk access on SW 5th Place and that a demonstration was scheduled to take place by a native American group. The City was not aware a demonstration was planned, and the permit was issued to address public safety concerns only.

MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, THAT COUNCIL REQUEST THE BURLINGTON NORTHERN RAILROAD TO DELAY THE INSTALLATION OF THE BRONSON WAY RAILROAD CROSSING GATES TO WORK OUT OTHER DETAILS WITH THE CITY INCLUDING CHANGED HOURS OF GATE OPERATION. CARRIED. Citizen Comment: Councilman Stredicke asked to be excused from Council Chambers because of Kavesh, Downtown possible conflict of interest in the following matter concerning the Downtown Renton Association Renton Association. (DRA) - Request for Contribution Councilman Tanner reiterated his concern regarding the request from the Downtown Renton Association for a donation of $40,000 from the City's general revenue funds. City Attorney Warren said if the funds are for the economic, social, or general governmental benefit of the City, they can be invested in an private organization and not violate the constitutional prohibition against gifts of City funds. Mr. Warren stated further that if the funds are to be used to pay an individual's salary, the Council and administration would need to look closely at whether or not the function being performed by that individual will further the positive social and governmental purposes for which the funds are intended. Councilman Tanner requested that a further opinion be obtained from the State Attorney General prior to donating money from the general revenue fund to any private organization. Councilman Stredicke return to Council Chambers having not participated in discussion on this matter. Airport: News Article Councilman Tanner advised receipt of a letter from Mayor Clymer to Council Regarding Airport Way regarding the matter of presentation to the Planning Commission rather than Office Space the Council of material regarding purchase of property along Airport Way to serve as office space for the airport (referred to staff for response on 08/06/90).

Citing from the letter, entitled Renton Municipal Airport expansion paper, Mr. Tanner felt that neither the policy nor the map which is included pertain to the airport. He discussed alternative actions to provide obstruction clearance at the airport other than purchasing property, and felt that the proposal to purchase property for use by the airport should have been presented directly to the City Council, and in view of the Airport Master Plan policies, the proposal is ill-timed. 266 August 20. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 266 ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS Ways and Means Ways and Means Committee member Stredicke presented the following Committee ordinances for second and final reading: Ordinance #4289 An ordinance was read establishing an R-I (single family residential) zoning Zoning: Duncan classification for the Duncan annexation property, 42.54 acres bounded by Annexation & Concurrent Jones and Lincoln Avenues NE, NE 43rd Street, 112th SE and NE 36th Rezone Street, annexed to the City of Renton (Duncan Rezone; File No. A-001-89).

Ms. Laswell-Morris presented the North Soos Creek Land Use Policy issue paper to Council, and stated that if the City assumes jurisdiction over the area, land use guidelines and regulations will need to be applied including: 1) the comprehensive plan; 2) zoning; and 3) development regulations for individual developments. The administration recommended that the Council adopt the updated Soos Creek Community Plan and County zoning as an interim policy and zoning in the North Soos Creek area upon the effective date of annexation. The administration further recommended that Council direct staff to initiate a planning process immediately upon annexation to prepare a new comprehensive plan and zoning in conformance with the City Comprehensive Plan and Growth Management programs. The planning process would emphasize the participation of North Soos Creek residents in the land use policy development and review. The administration also recommended that Council superimpose the City's development standards and review process on the updated Soos Creek Community Plan and zoning. This would require staff to initiate amendments to both the Soos Creek Community Plan and City zoning procedures upon a successful election in November for public hearings and adoption concurrent with the effective date of annexation. Upon Council inquiry, Ms. Laswell-Morris said staff are proposing the adoption of an interim policy only, and that upon transfer of jurisdiction, a full comprehensive plan and zoning effort including citizen participation will be initiated as a key component of the planning process. Upon further Council inquiry, City Attorney Warren advised his opinion that vesting of property rights would remain in place following annexation if a land use application has been filed. Responding to Ms. Laswell-Morris's comment that the community plan should be completed toward the end of 1990, Council asked that copies of the plan be provided to them as the review proceeds to assure that questions will be answered prior to the annexation.

Box 755, Renton, commented that in her opinion the - Legality of Pre-Hearing issue in question is whether or not the City code and regulations under which Process, Boeing FEIS the hearing examiner operates allow the pre-hearing conference on an administrative appeal. Board/Commision:: 1-405 Correspondence was read from James C. Hanson, Chairman of the Board of S-Curve Project Public Works, stating that Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has requested a variance to the City's noise ordinance for I-405 S- Curve construction. Mr. Hanson stated that the Board would hold a public meeting on Tuesday, September 11, 1990, to discuss the proposed variance, and if the Council disagrees with this procedure, the meeting will be cancelled. Correspondence was read from R. A Josephson, Project Development Engineer, WSDOT, requesting issuance of a noise ordinance variance to maintain the construction schedule on the upcoming Cedar River pipeline relocation project on Renton Hill as part of the SR I-405 S-Curve project. He further stated that this variance is essential to ensure that the entire project remains on schedule, minimizing construction impacts to local residents. Mr. Josephson stated that the Board of Public Works requested that WSDOT inform Council of this proposal prior to the issuance of a decision on the matter. He said that the variance is required for 30 days between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., and must be obtained before WSDOT can advertise the contract for bid on September 17, 1990. Council expressed the following concerns: I) Citizens' appeal rights; 2) Level of noise; 3) Lack of time to consider this matter; 4) Work schedule; 5) Access for fire, police and other services; and 6) Conditioning of the variance. Assistant City Attorney Fontes said that if this decision is made by the Board of Public Works, it will be considered an administrative decision, and citizens would have the right to appeal to the Hearing Examiner on that basis. WSDOT Project Engineer Robert Josephson explained that State testing found night-time noise levels on Renton Hill measure between 60 and 70 decibels, and the State is requesting a variance of 65 decibels. Mr. Josephson further explained that it is critical for the State to advertise this contract without delay since the project is already four months behind schedule due to geo- technical problems in designing the tunnels. Mr. Josephson stated that once the tunneling operation has been started, contractors prefer to keep the equipment going for 24 hours a day because the soil material can shift and close in on the tunnel, making restart difficult. He said typically a contractor will operate two ten-hour shifts with four hours of down time for maintenance of equipment. Mr. Josephson stated that City and WSDOT staff will meet to discuss access for City services, but he does not foresee any difficulty in providing such access to the area. Board of Public Works Chairman Jim Hanson said that the Board will consider mitigating measures that can be included in the variance to allow construction and remain within the limits imposed by the City.

PRESS Tina Hilding, Valley Daily News. APPROVAL OF MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL ADOPT COUNCIL MINUTES THE MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 17, 1990, AS PRESENTED. CARRIED. SPECIAL Solid Waste Coordinator Linda Knight introduced Mr. Jerry Hardebeck, PRESENTATION General Manager of Rainier Disposal Company, who narrated a slide Garbage: Recycling presentation regarding the success of the Renton recycling program. He Program noted that 2,557.34 tons of recyclable material and 3,567.95 tons of yard waste have been recycled in the first year of the program. This is in excess of original expectations, and indicates that the citizens of Renton have changed their habits and embraced the concept of sorting their solid waste stream for recycling. Mr. Hardebeck said that Rainier Disposal Company estimates that approximately 80 percent of the population is participating in the recycling program. Council requested information on the following recycling issues: 1) Plastic recycling; 2) Distribution of information to public regarding variable rate structure (mini-cans, etc); 3) Development of local recycling markets and processing facilities; 4) Composting process used; 5) Recognition of the success of the Renton program (awards, media attention); 6) Startup response to recycling programs in other cities; 7) Progress of commercial, residential, and multi-family programs; 8) City procurement of recycled products; and 10) Recycling of household batteries. Mr. Hardebeck reported concerns that plastic recycling is not a viable market; but plastic is a critical part of the waste stream and stronger markets will develop. He indicated that Waste Management Inc. has joined forces with Dow Chemical Company to build plastic recycling plants in Chicago and Los Angeles; and since Rainier Disposal Company has informed the public of the incremental rate structure, conversion to "mini-can" service has increased. Additional information provided by Mr. Hardebeck: a local recycler is providing extra storage for glass recycling companies; the Weyerhaeuser Corporation plans a fiber mill which will process newspaper waste streams in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho; mixed waste paper continues to go offshore where it is processed into cereal boxes, note pad backs, and other similar ..r items; new markets are not expected except in the area of plastics and newspaper (Weyerhaeuser); composting is presently accomplished by piling up the waste material, turning it periodically, and allowing it to break down; and higher technology is available for decomposition, but is not being used in this area at this time. Mr. Hardebeck acknowledged that Renton did have a quick recycling startup, but it is hard to compare this achievement with that of other cities since participants are aware of recycling programs before they start, save their recycles, and large collections are always experienced at the beginning of a recycling program. Mr. Hardebeck said Rainier Disposal Company has been polling commercial customers to identify their waste stream and help them dispose of hazardous waste. 291 September 24, 1990 Renton Citv Council Minutes Paye 291 Solid Waste Coordinator Linda Knight informed Council that she is developing a strategy to call media attention to the success of the Renton program and is also investigating recognition awards. Ms. Knight said she plans to hire a consultant to develop a program for commercial and multi- family recycling, and the Building Division is developing procedures for requiring new developments to set aside specific areas for recycling. A survey is underway to determine present and potential use of recycled products by the City; there is interest in the use of recycled paper and City shops are using recycled motor oil and retreaded tires. Ms. Knight said she is presently working with the Washington Citizens for Recycling on a grant to assist various municipalities in setting up used motor oil recycling programs. She also supported backyard composting programs and food waste programs for commercial establishments. In response to Ms. Knight's comment that there is no program for recycling used household batteries, Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler requested investigation of requirements for the establishment of such a program.

Citizens can call the Public Works Department to obtain meeting information, and the minutes are available in the City Clerk's office and Public Works Department.

Item Councilman Stredicke requested that he be excused from Council Chambers Planning: Downtown during discussion of this matter due to a possible conflict of interest. Renton Association (DRA) Study Community Services Department and Planning/Building/Public Works Department submitted a request on behalf of the Downtown Renton Association (DRA) for a grant application in the amount of $25,000 in Washington State Local Development Matching Funds (LDMF) for a planning study of the City's downtown area. The City and the DRA will share the responsibility for the matching funds in the amount of $12,500 each. The City's match may be in the form of cash or staff support. Councilwoman Zimmerman disagreed with language in the draft which stated that the North Renton neighborhood is in transition and requested deletion of the comments. Community Services Administrator John Webley explained that the grant application and resolution must be submitted by October 5, 1990. The document will be finalized and distributed to Council by Friady, September 28. In response to Councilman Tanner's inquiry, Mr. Webley said that the City became the grant applicant because it was anticipated that the DRA would not complete incorporation by October 5; and since the City is acting as an agent, it will have more input in the development of plans for this project. Mr. Tanner said that Kirkland rejuvenated its downtown area as part of its comprehensive plan. The project was implemented by zoning ordinances and the capital improvement program, and was supported by a financial plan. Kirkland also incorporated a local downtown benefit district, and a tax was levied on businesses to ensure contribution by the recipients of the improvements. He noted that Auburn, Kent, and Burien have been through similar processes and suggested Renton consider this course of action.

MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL APPROVE THE PROPOSED BALES PARCEL PURCHASE AGREEMENT SUBJECT TO A SATISFACTORY HAZARDOUS WASTE ASSESSMENT REPORT. CARRIED. Regarding the hazardous waste report, Senior Housing Project Manager Vince Lee explained that each property is considered on the basis of potential presence of hazardous substances as required by State and Federal law. This provides the City with protection if a problem arises in the future. He said staff has reviewed qualified environmental geotechnical firms providing this kind of testing and recommended the firm of Dames and Moore. This firm offers a total cumulative liability of $500,000 if the contractual agreement is for multiple sites, and its estimated time and materials cost is $1,000. He said staff recommended that Council approve the proposed Dames and Moore site assessment contract agreement subject to approval of liability limits by the Finance Director and approval as to legal form by the City Attorney. The draft site assessment proposal covers three acquisition parcels Bales (senior housing and open space), Looney (senior housing), and Blease/Collins (open space). Mr. Lee explained that if approved by Council, the intent is to revise the standard liability limit and add other open space parcels progressively as the project development process allows. In response to Council inquiries regakding the approval process for expansion proposals and the ability of the City to terminate the contract, Mr. Lee explained that all expansion proposals would be brought to Council for approval, and that a severance clause will be included in the contract. He explained further that although the contract will be structured so that projects can be added, additional projects may not be added. Since the firm is quoting time and materials, the staff anticipates that each parcel assessment will cost about the same.

PROCLAMATION A proclamation by Mayor Clymer was read declaring October 3, 1990, as Books for Kids Day in Renton, and urging all citizens to acknowledge this important children's literacy program. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION. CARRIED. Library Director Clark Petersen accepted the proclamation, and thanked the Mayor and Council for supporting the program. SPECIAL Parks Director Sam Chastain stated that The Regional Environmental PRESENTATION Endowment (TREE) proposal, Proposition 21, will be on the November 6, .i.King County: The 1990, general election ballot. King County originally formulated this Regional Environmental proposal when the State Legislature passed SB 6639 which authorizes county Endowment (TREE), governments to levy up to 1 percent excise tax for a ten-year period on Proposition 21 commercial, industrial, and residential sales transactions to fund open space .i.Parks: The Regional acquisition. Mr. Chastain introduced Gene Duvernoy, Manager of the King Environmental County Office of Open Space, who explained that TREE would generate Endowment (TREE), approximately $60 to $80 million annually for King County open space Proposition 21 acquisition. Mr. Duvernoy also indicated that every county council that is on the November ballot has endorsed a resolution requesting the State Legislature to exempt low/moderate income first-time home buyers from this tax. Council expressed the following concerns regarding TREE: 1) Large corporate properties would escape the tax by forming holding companies and transferring property. (The recent sale of Longacres to The Boeing Company was cited as an example.) 2) Provisions to protect first-time buyers might not be implemented by the State Legislature. 3) Responsibility for distribution of these funds, and whether King County would charge overhead for administration of funds. WON 4) Method of designating properties for purchase by cities for open space. 5) Makeup of King County oversight committee. Mr. Duvernoy said he was not aware of the specifics of the Longacres transaction but industrial/commercial transactions comprise 50 percent of the real estate sales in the County and tax funds would be captured from most of these transactions. Council President Mathews requested that Mr. Duvernoy investigate whether this tax would have been applied to the Boeing/Longacres sale and inform the Suburban Cities, Renton Council, King County Council, and the press of his findings. Mr. Tanner suggested that the resolutions submitted to the State by involved counties be revised to close the "holding company" loophole before this measure goes on the ballot. 17 1 l October 1, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 299 Mr. Duvernoy expressed confidence that first-time buyer protection would be implemented by the State Legislature since this provision is supported by county councils representing 50 percent of the population. Mr. Duvernoy added the following in regard to fund distribution: 1) The County would administer the funds without an overhead charge. 2) The TREE plan indicates specific percentages for distribution between funds and within the fund. 3) To receive funds directly, the City's open space plan would be reviewed by the County Open Space Committee (a nine-member citizens' committee appointed by the County) which would address the required issues of an open space plan only. 4) Upon approval of the City's open space plan, land use funds would go directly to the City. 5) It would be necessary for the City to appoint a nine-member citizens' committee to review potential properties and recommend acquisition to the City Council for final approval. Advancement Requested MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS, AND ADVANCE TO OLD BUSINESS, UTILITIES COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED Utilities Committee Utilities Committee Chairman Nelson presented a report recommending that Public Works: Green Council request the King County Council to activate the Green River Flood River Flood Control Zone Control Zone District (GRFCD). The GRFCD establishes an ad valorem District property tax to fund maintenance and operation of the Green River flood control levees and the P-1 and P-19 pump plant facilities. In the past, the County has provided these funds from the County-wide River Improvement Fund. The funds from the proposed property tax will be collected from properties located within the benefitted area and will be used to pay for maintenance and operation of the existing facilities and the administrative costs of the Green River Basin Program (GRBP). In the past the City's contribution to King County for the administrative costs (averaging $22,760 annually since 1987) for the GRBP has been funded by City-wide Storm Water Utility revenue via Utility Fund #401. Establishment of the GRFCD would make these funds available for other City-wide storm water projects and programs. The Committee further recommended this matter be referred to the Ways and Means Committee for appropriate legislation. MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.

October 1. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 302 Finance: Longacres In regard to the sale of the Longacres property to the Boeing Company this Closing, Financial Impact week, Mayor Clymer reported the following information regarding the financial impact of the transaction: 1) Direct impact: If the track is not operating during the 1991 season, there would be a total loss of $176,000: $10,000 in business license fees, $66,000 in retail sales, and $100,000 in admissions tax receipts. 2) Indirect impact: Loss of sales tax receipts for restaurants, horse feed sales, business license reductions; and loss of revenue due to the reduction of staff by companies affected by the closing is estimated to be less than $50,000. 3) Since this would be a merger with an exchange of stock, the transfer of the property would not be subject to the quarter percent real estate transaction fee. (If the negotiated price of the property was $82 million as discussed in newspaper articles, the City would not receive the $205,000 tax revenue which would have been generated by the sale.) Mayor Clymer said he does not know what Boeing plans to do with this property, and that any decision to continue racing at the site would probably be accomplished at the State level since horse racing is controlled by the State. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler urged that the City support any constructive effort to resolve this problem since the repercussions of the transaction will seriously impact this City.

CARRIED Ms. Laura Miccile, Teen Parent Specialist, accepted the proclamation on behalf of the Renton Teen Parent Task Force, and expressed appreciation for the Council's support of Renton Area Youth Services. 315 October 15, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 315 SPECIAL Planning and Technical Services Manager David Martin introduced Mr. Dave PRESENTATION Williams, Legislative Relations Staff Associate, Association of Washington AWC: Growth Cities (AWC), who presented a comparison between the Growth Management Management, Initiative Act (SHB 2929) and Citizen's Initiative 547. The AWC opposes Initiative 547 547 because it delays planning activities by repealing the existing Growth Management Act, restricts local control, lacks accountability through its regional review panels, and creates an unnecessary additional state agency. The Association's support of the existing legislation is based upon the position that it is already being implemented by Washington cities and counties, promotes environmentally sensitive growth, and provides a comprehensive low framework for local land use, transportation, capital facilities, and economic development planning. AWC feels that recommendations made by the Growth Strategies Commission will strengthen the present Growth Management legislation. Council expressed the following concerns regarding Initiative 547: 1) Review and approval by growth panels made up of two people from each congressional district would allow other jurisdictions to make land use decisions for the City and withhold tax revenues if land use plans were not in conformance with State goals. 2) Effect on State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA), Comprehensive Plan completion date, recent transportation legislation, Proposition 21 (real estate excise tax), and aquifer protection. Council recalled that the Planning Commission had held hearings on the designation of environmentally sensitive properties, and requested information regarding the outcome of this activity. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Guttmann explained that the information obtained by the Planning Commission is out of date, staff is presently involved in a study of the wetlands and valley, an inventory of environmentally sensitive areas will be initiated in 1991, and inventories will be completed in September, 1991, as required by Growth Management legislation. Mr. Williams stated that AWC is committed to providing information to local governments on Growth Management planning, and is offering workshops on these issues at the Double Tree Suites in Tukwila on November 1-2, 1990. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER TO THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE FOR A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT (SHB 2929) AND OPPOSING INITIATIVE 547. CARRIED. Upon inquiry, City Attorney Warren confirmed Council's authority to take a position on this issue. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler requested that the resolution include the Council's reasons for opposing Initiative 547. PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notice having been published and posted Annexation: Senescu in accordance with City policy, Mayor Clymer opened the public meeting to consider the Senescu 10% notice of intent annexation petition. The property consists of 13.49 acres located in the vicinity of Union Avenue NE and NE 10th Street. Correspondence was entered from Sharon E. Lopez Kolkhorst, 13239 SE 116th, Renton, opposing the annexation and questioning existing sewer capacity in view of building moratorium in the area. Referring to vicinity map of the subject site, Senior Planner Rubin Yu described the proposal, pointed out the property location, and indicated the purpose of the annexation to secure water and sewer service to allow future development of single family homes. He noted that the assessed valuation is $904,636 and signatures on the petition and signed covenants to annex represent 43% of the total assessed value. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that the property is suitable for single family dwellings up to six units per acre. The western portion of the annexation site contains 17 single family homes, and the eastern portion is currently vacant. Water service to the existing homes is provided by the City of Renton. Mr. Yu advised that all City departments have reviewed and approved the proposal and have determined that the annexation represents a logical extension of City boundaries and services with the exception of the Police Department which is concerned about poor access to homes on SE 117th Street. Therefore, it was the recommendation of staff that Council accept the 10% notice of intent petition and authorize circulation of the 60% annexation petition; require simultaneous imposition of R-1 zoning on the site; and 6 October 15. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Pan 316 require property owners to assume their proportional share of the City's bonded indebtedness. Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Yu indicated that in exchange for water service, covenants to annex have been filed with the City by owners of approximately 10% of the assessed valuation. Audience comment was invited. Mary Ryan, 757 Rainier Avenue South, Renton, informed Council that she circulated the petition. She said most of the property owners inside the annexation are using City water, but some had not executed covenants. She also pointed out that there is a dirt and grass-covered driveway in the vicinity of SE 117th Street but no street is located there. In response to Councilwoman Zimmerman's inquiry about Ms. Ryan's interest in circulating the annexation petition, Ms. Ryan stated that she is a real estate broker, and that she does not represent Mr. Senescu. Council President Mathews pointed out that residents outside the City limits pay one and one-half times the City rate for water service; and upon annexation, the rate would be reduced. Ralph Russell Newton, 8417 36th Avenue SW, West Seattle, said he owns property in the area and that he objected that a real estate agency circulated the petition. Mayor Clymer explained that 60% of the property owners have to sign the petition before annexation can occur. Dale Lindstrom, 13229 SE 116th, Renton, asked about the sewer moratorium, the requirements regarding septic tanks, and the fees for connecting to sewer systems. Council President Mathews explained that the building moratorium was imposed restricting development until sewer capacity is increased. In response to Mr. Lindstrom's inquiry about requirements for sewer connection, Ms. Guttmann explained that there must be available sewer capacity before a connection can be made, and a property owner has the option to remain on a septic system. If a resident is within 200 feet of available sewer service, payment of a monthly fee (called a standby charge) is required even if connection to the sewer line has not been made. Karen Lutz, 11608 132nd SE, Renton, asked about the type of homes planned in that area. Gary Senescu, 14021 NE 8th Street, Bellevue, owner of the Mai property, stated that it was not his intent to develop the property immediately, and indicated that the homes built on the property would be modest and comparable with the surrounding neighborhood. Glenn Wraa, 13326 SE 102nd Place, Renton, advised that he had signed the covenant to annex under pressure to obtain City water service. Council President Mathews asked that Council be provided with information on whether the subject site is in the sewer moratorium area and the direction of the sewer flow. Doug Argo, 13218 SE 117th Place, Renton, asked if a property owner could stay on a septic system if within 200 feet of the City sewer system, if individuals purchasing the property would be required to connect to the sewer system, and if a connection fee would be required of the owner choosing to stay on a septic system. Ms. Guttmann explained that the property owner/buyer would be able to choose between sewer system and septic system, and the connection fee is for actual connection only. In response to Mr. Argo's concern that the City address the issue of access to SE 117th, Mayor Clymer explained that this would be addressed when the site is platted by the City. In response to Councilman Edwards concern about notifying property owners of intent to develop in the area, the City Clerk explained that signs are posted on all sides of a site when a preliminary plat hearing is held, notice of the hearing is published in the newspaper, and letters are mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the site.

An ordinance was read relating to the waterworks utility of the City, including the sewerage system as a part thereof; specifying and adopting a system or plan of additions to and betterment of the waterworks utility; providing for the issuance of $4.1 million par value Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, 1990, of the City for the purpose of obtaining a part of the funds with which to pay the cost of carrying out that system or plan; fixing the date, form, denominations, maturities, interest rates, terms and covenants of those bonds; creating a special bond redemption account to provide for the payment of the bonds; and approving the sale and providing for the delivery of those bonds to Seattle-Northwest Securities Corporation, Seattle, Washington. Moved by Keolker-Wheeler, seconded by Zimmerman, Council refer this ordinance back to Ways and Means Committee for one week. Councilman Stredicke asked if this project will require rate increases each year for the next five years. Administrator Guttmann said that the 1990 rate adoption assumed continued utility rate increases throughout the next five- year period to maintain the programs as adopted last year. Ms. Keolker- Wheeler and Ms. Zimmerman rescinded the motion, and the ordinance was returned to the Ways and Means Committee. Councilman Tanner requested information on proposed rates before this matter is approved. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler expressed concern that information was not clear on this issue, and since the City is facing budget problems in 1991, budget concerns must be addressed before the City assumes a five-year plan to raise rates. Councilman Edwards returned to the Council Chambers, having not participated in the discussion on this matter. NEW BUSINESS Council President Mathews reported that the Suburban Cities Association has PSCOG: Puget Sound adopted a resolution stating that the Association does not support the Puget Regional Council Sound Regional Council (PSRC), the four-county regional transportation planning agency. The original plan for the regional council was for transportation planning; however, as of October 5, 1990, the Executive Board of the Puget Sound Council of Governments (PSCOG) determined that PSRC was not only the regional transportation agency but the land use agency as well. As recommended by Suburban Cities, the City of Renton had earlier adopted a resolution withdrawing from PSCOG as of December 31, 1990. As a result of recent action by Suburban Cities, Ms. Mathews asked that Council support that action by adopting a similar resolution.

ADMINISTRATIVE Referred 09/24/90 - Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler requested information REPORT regarding the approval process for use of temporary structures by the school Planning: School District district. Memorandum from Jim Hanson, Manager of Development Services Temporary Structures Division, to Administrator Guttmann, dated October 8, 1990, stated that school portable buildings are considered modifications to an existing site, and as such are reviewed by Fire and Building Code reviewers for life and safety issues only. As an example, Talbot Hill Elementary School has temporary buildings at the edge of the driveway lanes. Site distance is impaired, but the driveway is in an area used by school district maintenance personnel. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler requested further investigation be initiated by staff. She said that the area in question is being used for parking when school activities are in progress, and that site distance impairment creates a potential hazard. 320 October 15 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 320 I Fire: Renton School Referred 10/1/90 - Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler referenced Renton District, Dumping School Board minutes which stated the district's intent to dump contaminated Potential Hazardous Waste soil near Philip Arnold Park which is close to the aquifer and is an area where children ride bikes. Memorandum to Mayor Clymer from Fire Marshal Glen G. Gordon, dated October 4, 1990, stated that he met with Robert Brown, Operations Manager, Renton School District, regarding the soil contamination at various school district locations within the City limits. To date, none of this soil has been removed from locations under remediation, Mr. Brown is aware of the importance of proper disposal of contaminated soil, and this situation is being monitored closely. 3 Finance: Longacres Referred 10/1/90 - Mayor Clymer stated he would write a letter to the Closing, Financial Impact Governor supporting and encouraging constructive action regarding the sale of Longacres to Boeing. Letter was sent from Mayor Clymer to Governor Booth Gardner, dated October 9, 1990, stating that the sale of Broadacres (Longacres Race Track) to Boeing Corporation has created mixed emotions in the Renton community. At this time it appears that the direct financial impact of the race track closure will be about $175,000 - $250,000 per year to the City, and an additional impact will be felt by businesses supporting the industry. The letter stated further that the Renton City Council believes it is important to look at any options that would assist the industry in this transition period, and urged special consideration of this matter by the Governor's office. Mayor Clymer announced that Boeing has agreed to continue horse racing at Longacres through the 1991 season. Councilman Tanner noted his understanding that because the transaction between Longacres and the Boeing Company was a stock exchange, the real estate tax would not apply. He asked for a clarification of the matter. City Attorney Warren reported that the title was in the name of Broadacres Corporation; and since there was no change in the legal owner, likewise there was no transfer and no legal document upon which to assess the tax. AUDIENCE COMMENT Joan Walker, 1433 Monterey NE, Renton, reported that she attended a Citizen Comment: Walker Planning Association Conference on Growth Management in Kennewick. She - Growth Management said that the Director of the Washington State Department of Community Development was asked how the State will determine whether an element is low within a Comprehensive Plan, and he indicated that will welcome input from the cities on this issue. Ms. Walker said he also urged cities to submit funding applications as soon as possible. ADJOURNMENT MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL ADJOURN. CARRIED.

Since the proposed PSRC is a slight remodeling of the PSCOG, other efforts within the region will likely provide for more substantive governmental reform, the essential functions of the PSCOG related to allocation of federal transportation funding can be handled through a variety of interim measures until voters exercise their choice on regional governance, and intercounty activities can be managed through interlocal agreements, the Council resolved that the City does not support the formation of the PSRC, and exercised its option to withdraw from the PSCOG on December 31, 1990.

CARRIED. TRANSMITTAL: Budget: Mayor Clymer transmitted the 1991 Preliminary Budget in the total amount 1991 of $88,530,973.00 and pointed cut that the revenue and expenditure projections reflect current economical assumptions. He announced that the public hearing to consider the budget has been set for December 3, 1990. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Fire: Fireworks in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public Ordinance hearing to consider the amendments to the Fireworks Ordinance, Uniform Fire Code, Title VII, Chapter 9 (Fire Regulations) of Ordinance 4234, Section (N), change 4.a. and 5. to read as follows: 4.a. FireweFks-Sales er-Diseherge;-Time4.irxko4iot. It shall be unlawful for any person to offer for retail sale, or expose for retail sale, or sell at retail within the City except from twelve o'clock (12:00) Noon on June 28 to tweWe.-W-elock (1IL.0A)-1eee-ea-J,&1�-6 12:00 Midnight of July 4 of each year. 5. Fireworks Discharge: No person shall ignite or discharge any fireworks except between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. (Midnight) on July 4th of any calendar year. Exceptions: 1. Public displays authorized by permit issued to WAC. 2. Use by a group or individual for religious or other specific purpose on an approved date at an approved location pursuant to a permit issued pursuant to WAC. 3. Use of trick and novelty devices as defined in WAC 212-17-030, as amended, and use of agricultural and wildlife fireworks as defined in RCW. Battalion Chief Gordon explained that the Fire and Police Departments have received citizen complaints about the discharge of fireworks. During Fire Department research of the cities of Bellevue, Kirkland, Bothell, Redmond, Kent, Renton, Tukwila, and Auburn, it was discovered restrictions in city ordinances reduced or drastically curtailed the discharge of fireworks and the types of fireworks discharged within the city limits. State law allows fireworks to be purchased and discharged from noon June 28 through noon July 6 of each year. The proposed draft ordinance reduces the sales period and allows fireworks to be discharge on July 4th only. Another change in the ordinance prohibits persons under the age of 16 from purchasing fireworks unless accompanied by an adult. Ray Griffin, 14306 144th Avenue SE, Renton, commented that it is unrealistic to sell fireworks and expect that children will discharge them only on July 4th, and expressed doubt that these regulations could be enforced. 333 November 5. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 333 He suggested it might be more realistic for the City to consider banning the sale of fireworks entirely and provide fireworks display(s) for the public. Versie Vaupel, P.O. Box 755, Renton, urged the Council to pass this ordinance, and commended Council and staff for addressing this issue.

Annexation: North Soos Planning and Technical Services Manager David Martin presented a summary Creek Annexation of the study process for the North Soos Creek Annexation, and outlined the (Fairwood) history of the project as follows: 1) 1986 - Fairwood Homeowners Association initiated study of local government, and the Fairwood Futures Committee was formed. 2) 1988 - North Soos Creek citizens requested City study possible annexation, a random sample survey indicated adequate support, and the Council set preliminary boundaries. 3) 1989 - A fiscal impact report was prepared under direction of a task force of North Soos Creek citizens and showed no overall property tax impact. 4) 1990 - January: Renton Citizens Task Force recommended further study and raised quality of life issues. May. Council adopted future focus partnership between City and County residents to address local concerns and find common solutions. Mr. Martin stated that the following alternatives were available to Council: 1) Stop the annexation process: Project ends, and no further expenditures are made by City 2) Proceed with the original project and schedule: Adopt a resolution to put annexation on ballot Boundaries would stay the same as the study area boundaries Election would occur in November, 1991 3) Proceed with phased and/or smaller project. Boundaries remain same as study area Area annexed in pieces or not as extensive as study area Council reexamine boundaries of study area, evaluate phasing alternatives, evaluate timing of alternatives, and adopt resolution or authorize 10% petition to proceed 4) Initiate community petition process: Postpone annexation Establish boundaries Initiate 10% petition process Allow for further progress on Soos Creek Community Plan (King County) and Renton Comprehensive Plan presently in process Mr. Martin explained that the budget would be approximately the same for last three alternatives, and would range from $61,500 to $234,000 depending upon the degree of City staff involvement. In response to Councilman Edwards' inquiry as to whether postponement would require that the City perform a new Environmental Impact Study (EIS), Mr. Martin said he assumed that only a brief update would be required if the action took place before the expiration of the three year period prescribed by the Boundary Review Board. Executive Assistant Jay Covington stated that it depends on how far the North Soos Creek Community Plan goes, what the City decides to do with the Comprehensive Plan, and the Boundary Review Board's determination as to whether the EIS requires updating. Principal Planner Nancy Laswell-Morris reported on the factfinding and public outreach portions of the annexation study (Phase II) which focused on: 1) Resolving policy issues; 2) Resolving service delivery issues; 3) Informing Renton and North Soos Creek residents; and 4) Obtaining feedback through survey and public workshops. The objectives of Phase II were to: 1) Provide information on potential impacts of annexation; 2) Obtain feedback on questions citizens had; 3) Recruit residents into the process; and 4) Avoid advocating for or against annexation. The Phase II factfinding process: 1) Explored quality of life issues; 2) Established Council policy on key issues; and 336 November 5. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Paae 336 3) Researched questions raised by the citizens. Ms. Laswell-Morris said the Citizen Task Force provided advice to the City on the process, reviewed fact cards, and helped the City to focus on issues of concern. She said that the results demonstrated by the survey indicated that the outreach program achieved a high level of resident awareness regarding annexation; a reasonable level of interjurisdictional cooperation, public meeting attendance of 500-600 people, distribution of 650-700 fact cards and 27,000 brochures, resolution of policy issues (addresses, library service, garbage, animal control, land use), citizen focus on the substance of outstanding issues, and definition of a service proposal for annexation. Ms. Laswell-Morris said that the following measures need to be taken if the project is continued 1) Initiate public dialogue and debate; 2) Form a pro-annexation group from North Soos Creek; 3) Negotiate interlocal agreements; 4) Establish boundaries; 5) Establish strong City leadership; 6) Refine service proposals; 7) Update fiscal information; and 8) Address growth management Rita Brogan, President of Pacific Rim Resources, a consulting firm specializing in public involvement and public opinion research, presented the results of the public opinion survey sampling of 300 Renton and 300 North Soos Creek residents in October, 1990. Ms. Brogan reported statistics regarding the residents' responses to survey questions on the issues of growth, annexation awareness, and annexation attitudes, and stated that overall data indicated more concerns against annexation exist in the Fairwood area than in the Cascade/Petrovitsky areas. Council President Mathews asked if Renton citizens knew that they would not be able to vote on the annexation issue, and what Council committee reviewed the survey content. Ms. Brogan said that Renton citizens were not informed that they would not be able to vote on this issue, and Ms. Laswell- Morris stated that the Committee of the Whole reviewed the questionnaire and research questions in September, 1990. At the request of Councilman Edwards, Ms. Brogan reported survey results on the questions listed below: 1) With which viewpoint are you most likely to agree: a) annexation will provide opportunities for a more effective regional voice for North Soos Creek and Renton residents; or b) annexation is nothing more than a land grab by City of Renton? Fairwood: a) 30%; b) 57% Cascade/Petrovitsky: a) 46%; b) 39% 2) With which viewpoint are you most likely to agree: a) annexation is good because it offers better services to a growing community; or b) annexation would just mean more taxes and growth? Fairwood: a) 27%; b) 64% Cascade/Petrovitsky: a) 37%; b) 53% Adrien Ryneveld, representing the North Soos Creek Annexation Study Task Force, reported that the Task Force has participated in meetings, discussions, and workshops to evaluate the benefits and problems associated with annexation. He said that the Task Force recommended to: 1) Continue to favor consideration of annexation, but table the issue for at least one year; 2) Stop work on the project immediately; 3) Abandon "aggressive annexation" policy and encourage annexation by petition; and 4) Provide a budget line item for "citizen access to information" for citizens wishing to obtain City-held data. Council members made the following inquiries: 1) Has Task Force discussed initiating 10% petition process? 2) What would happen if the annexation process was delayed one year? November 5. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 337 3) How would the budget line item to support legitimate requests for data? Mr. Ryneveld said that the petition issue had not been addressed because City staff requested no action be taken until the study information was available. He indicated that the Committee hoped that a grass roots movement originating in the area of interest would review the process, endeavor to change negative public opinion toward annexation, and support annexation in a rational way. He said that during the initial process of the annexation study, it was difficult to obtain computer-stored information from the City and County due to the staff and equipment time required to retrieve the data; a budget line item would provide funds for use of staff and equipment. In summarizing, Executive Assistant Jay Covington reiterated the four options available to the Council. He said the budget for each of the options, excluding the option to stop the process, would depend on the City's level of commitment, and emphasized that if the City decides to go forward it will require a significant amount of leadership and commitment of priorities, resources, and time. Councilman Tanner expressed concern that the City would have no control over the petition process, and no further action would be taken until the process was initiated by the community. He noted that the survey has already indicated an interest in excess of 10% in some of the areas. Council members asked the following questions: 1) Has a boundary analysis been done on the Petrovitsky/Cascade Vista areas? 2) How would a group know where to obtain signatures? Mr. Martin said staff had considered the boundary issue, and there are smaller areas that could be annexed. Mr. Covington said that boundaries would have to be defined before petitions are circulated, and after the signatures were obtained, the boundaries could be revised as long as the revisions included the areas indicating 10 percent interest. Tom Hellene, 18233 141st Avenue SE, Renton, said he represented a committee supporting annexation to Renton; and that the committee is willing to lead the petition effort if: 1) Council gives a vote of confidence for annexation; 2) Boundaries are clarified; 3) Information collected by citizens' committees including N3A and other organizations are summarized and distributed to the community. Mr. Hellene requested that Council not pursue a ballot issue but instead encourage the petition process which would demonstrate the City's interest and dispel the perception that Renton is trying to land grab. He expressed confidence that adequate signatures could be obtained on a petition, and indicated the City's help would be sought in defining boundaries, determining fiscal impact, and providing other information. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler questioned whether citizens would be able to initiate the petition process if the Task Force recommendations were adopted, would boundaries be defined, and would it be necessary for the City to commit to annexation. Assistant City Attorney Fontes said as long as there is resident support, each annexation area (Petrovitsky/Cascade; Fairwood) could stand alone, and annexation could occur simultaneously or consecutively; however, Fairwood could not be annexed until Petrovitsky/Cascade has joined the City because it is not contiguous to Renton. She said a primary issue is the sufficiency of assessed valuation for Fire District 40 to provide service to the annexed area, and she stated that the Cascade Vista/Petrovitsky area with an eastern boundary of 140th would provide adequate assessed valuation for fire service and fiscal viability. Councilman Tanner noted that survey results indicated Fairwood demonstrates insufficient support for annexation, and he supported initiating the annexation process for the Cascade Vista/Petrovitsky area and excluding Fairwood until more interest is shown. Councilwoman Zimmerman pointed out that Council had voted to continue the annexation study, the Cascade Vista/Petrovitsky area shows good interest, and the citizens of Renton do not show negative response; and urged that Council continue the annexation process. 338 November 5. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Pace 338 Walt Canter, 14417 SE 169th Street, Renton, Chairman of Neighbors Allied Against Annexation (MA), commended the Citizen's Task Force for the excellent job it has done. He stated that the evidence presented tonight should produce the following conclusions: 1) Annexation studies have benefited the City departments by providing extensive information related to existing services and residential lifestyles and desires. 2) There is no tangible support for a successful ballot issue. 3) The opposition to the ballot issue would be formal and well organized. e� 4) There is a high probability that this annexation would negatively effect other annexations. He stated further that a decision to accept the gains and benefits of this process and reevaluate future options would: 1) Make defensible sense; 2) Free planning staff; 3) Return monies to offset other City costs; 4) Improve the relationship between the City and North Soos Creek residents; and 5) Improve the City's credibility with Renton residents. Ruth Saari, 13147 SE 170th Street, Renton, presented a letter to Council from Walt Canter, Chairman, and Ruth Saari, Vice Chairman, N3A, objecting to Council entering into the record a Valley Daily News letter to the editor at the October 22, 1990, Council meeting. She said that N3A advocated that an election would be a waste of time and taxpayer's money due to the overwhelming opposition to annexation, but the organization has never been afraid that the issue could reach the ballot. She pointed out that at no time has the N3A conducted their campaign as a personal attack, and requested an apology. Councilman Stredicke pointed out that Council did not endorse the editorial letter to which Ms. Saari was referring. Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, said City tax funds have been spent on behalf of the people wanting annexation, and Renton citizens should be allowed to vote on this issue. She further stated that the Comprehensive Plan should be completed before annexation is accepted, and though she is not against the annexation, she would like an indication from the residents of this area that they want to join the City and will commit financial support to the annexation process. Norm Petersen, 3402 Park Avenue North, Renton, supported placing the annexation issue on the ballot. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated that the information gathered through the study has been valuable to the City, and a number of issues are presently before Council that did not exist at the time this process was initiated. She stated further that she felt the City cannot afford to expend more funds on this issue at this time, and needs to allow debate, discussion, and dissemination of study information by the people in the areas that may or may not be interested in annexation.

Memorandum to Council from City Attorney Lawrence Warren Specialty Restaurants, dated October 23, 1990, stated the following alternatives: Inc. 1) Take no action. 2) Declare a breach of contract, and attempt to negotiate more favorable operating conditions with the tenant. 3) Declare a breach of the lease, and attempt to seize the premises and safeguard the asset. Councilman Tanner requested information from the administration regarding the estimated cost of remodeling the airport restaurant facility. Parks: Development Fees Referred 10/08/90 - Councilman Stredicke requested a report regarding for Park Development development fees paid by subdivision developers to the park fund in lieu of Planning: Development providing park property. Memorandum dated October 18, 1990, from Park Fees Director Sam Chastain reported that mitigation fees are collected from developers for impacts on the City's parks, recreation, and open space needs. Developers may elect to mitigate their development impacts through land donation, granting of recreation easements, development of recreation facilities, recreation management plans, etc. He said that State legislative action has made it difficult to legally enforce these fees, and that the Comprehensive Plan is being updated to include a mitigation section. H & HS: Suburban Cities Referred 09/24/90 - Councilwoman Zimmerman requested a report regarding Domestic Violence the reasons for use of motor vehicle excise tax and grant funds for filling Project, Sales Tax Option three police officer positions before the previously agreed upon date of December 31, 1990, and an agreement to use Law/Safety/Justice sales tax revenues for this purpose. Memorandum from Administrative Service Administrator Dan Clements dated October 15, 1990, stated that on October 1, 1990, the State Auditor's Office reported that with respect to these police officer positions, the City would not run afoul of the supplanting language contained in SB 6913, since the law references "existing funding." Boeing and PACCAR construction revenues never materialized as existing funds, and need not be figured into the June or July supplanting base calculations. He stated further that the question of whether positions were deferred or deleted and then restored is not germane since the supplanting base is calculated on June and July budget figures. In response to a further inquiry from Councilwoman Zimmerman regarding the use of motor vehicle excise tax funds, the memorandum clarified that these funds are the source of ongoing State law and justice financial assistance.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue, Renton, discussed the following City Citizen Comment: Webb - activities: Budget, North Soos Creek, Committee of the 1) Budget: City has not lost funding due to the withdrawal of proposed Whole, Boeing FEIS Boeing and PACCAR expansions; and if the City planned to use those funds, its planning process was faulty. X1/ 7 November 19, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 347 2) North Soos Creek: There was too much planning and delay involved in the annexation study process. 3) Committee of the Whole: Topics should be part of the Council meeting, and minutes should be made available to the public. 4) Defense of residents'rights: In the Boeing Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), citizen rights were not protected. Citizen Comment: Vaupel Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, commented that the Renton - RVTI Use of Renton Vocational/Technical Institute (RVTI) is a non-profit organization designed School District Facilities to serve the City of Renton by providing quality vocational training opportunities. She pointed out that RVTI is part of the school district in the area of administration only, is a regional institution, and is virtually a separate entity from the school district. Ms. Vaupel noted that the RVTI covers a boundary from Pierce County line to north of the Seattle Central area, then from the west at Vashon Island to Kittitas County line on the east. Many school districts are within those boundaries; yet only Renton School district carried the extra levies for RVTI. In Spring 1990, the State Legislature passed a bill that allows RVTI to separate from the local school district administration, and allows possible assumption of title to the school district property it presently occupies. Ms. Vaupel requested that the City try to keep RVTI in Renton, noting that if it becomes a State entity, it could be sold. Citizen Comment: Gevers Cornelius Gevers, 900 Kirkland Avenue NE, Renton, referred to the matter - Highlands Community of the Highlands Community Church on-site improvement deferrals to be Church Deferral reported out of the Community Services Committee at this meeting, and expressed his appreciation to the Committee for recommending a satisfactory resolution for all parties involved in this matter. Citizen Comment: Vaupel Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, complained that several deadlines - Renton/Boeing Noise were missed in regard to the Boeing Final Environmental Impact Statement Mitigation Committee, (FEIS) because of unclear public notices and a lack of citizen knowledge Appeal Administrative regarding the appeal process. She also claimed that the written agreement on Determination Language noise mitigation between Boeing and the City was modified after expiration of the appeal period to Superior Court, thereby depriving North Renton residents of appeal rights. In response to Councilman Edwards' inquiry regarding the status of the appeal process handbook, Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler said this matter will be held in the Ways and Means Committee until language for a citizen handbook has been developed by the City Attorney's office. She said the first draft of this information will be made available to the Council and the public when it is completed, and pointed out that this project will take considerable time since it involves extensive research of appeal policies and procedures. Ms. Vaupel also commented that the North Renton Citizens and City administration entered into an agreement which included formation of a Noise Mitigation Committee composed of three Boeing representatives and three community representatives to discuss noise levels at the Boeing airport. She objected to the Mayor's appointment of a county resident to this committee. She said that the North Renton citizens feel the committee should consist of community representatives who live within the City limits. Councilman Tanner entered the following correspondence regarding this matter: 1) Memorandum from Mayor Clymer to Mr. Tanner dated September 28, 1990, stating that three candidates were needed for the Noise Committee. Mayor Clymer said he had asked Councilwoman Zimmerman and Councilman Tanner for possible candidates and had talked to the North Renton Defense Fund regarding this issue. He stated further that he had received one recommendation, and needed two more names. He also - commented that since this action was a result of administrative decision and is being challenged in the court, it would not be wise for the administration to select the two members. 2) Memorandum from Mr. Tanner to Mayor Clymer stating that he was still having difficulty finding a West Hill community representative to serve on the Renton/Boeing noise committee, and indicated that Marge Richter of North Renton was willing to serve on the committee. He said that Ms. Richter's record of community service spoke for itself, and he was pleased to nominate her for the committee. Mr. Tanner stated that he also objected to the appointment of a County resident to this committee, requested that this appointment be reconsidered, November 19 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 348 and recommended that the third member be an appointee from North Renton/Kennydale citizen organization. Councilwoman Zimmerman expressed agreement that a City resident should serve on this committee, and urged reconsideration of this appointment. Council President Mathews pointed out that there is a need to work with neighboring jurisdictions on the City's Comprehensive Plan, and the City should consider being open to allowing non-resident participation on other issues. Ms. Zimmerman requested that the Administration recommend a policy on composition of City committees indicating when residents of the City and County will be allowed to serve on a committee. Citizen Comment: Roger Blaylock, 10717 NE 4th Street, #9, Bellevue, expressed his concern Blaylock - RVTI Use of regarding RVTI's use of Renton School District facilities and suggested that Renton School District the City and School District work together on this issue to avoid serious Facilities impact on Renton citizens.

CORRESPONDENCE Council President Mathews entered correspondence from Albert and Norma Garbage: Waste Sorting Arrington, 7027 South 131st Street, Seattle, received November 13, 1990, Facility, Black River stating the following concerns regarding the proposed Black River Quarry Quarry Area construction waste sorting facility: 1) Site is much too near congested areas. 2) Estimated 900 truck trips a day will further impact I-405 and Highway 181 traffic conditions. 3) Excess noise will result from truck engines, and trucks backing up and dumping materials. 4) Noise will be generated by machinery, such as chippers grinding wood waste. 5) Exhausts of truck traffic, dust from waste, and toxic materials will create air pollution. 6) Recreation sites will be impacted, and potential hazardous conditions created for pedestrians. 7) Natural areas, such as the blue heron rookery should be protected. 8) The operation is dependent on land fills. The letter suggested consideration of on-site recycling, wood waste composting, and reuse of brick. 9) Trucks should be required to sort materials and direct wastes to appropriate recycling centers. 10) Trucks should be required to cover all loads. 11) Trucks should be banned I-405 and I-5 during rush hours. 12) Means must be employed to reduce the impact of traffic, noise, air pollution, unsightly environment, and to protect wildlife habitats. Mr. and Mrs. Arrington stated that the proposed construction waste sorting facility generates further concern because trucks may take a short cut through South 131st Street (Langston Road) which has excessive traffic, and suggested that the facility be located in a rural area. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL REFER THIS CORRESPONDENCE TO THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE OFFICIAL FILE. CARRIED. OLD BUSINESS Community Services Committee Chairman Zimmerman stated that the Community Services Highlands Community Church deferral of on-site improvements has been Committee under consideration for a some time, and the Committee is gratified that Public Works: Deferral, resolution of the matter has been reached that is satisfactory to concerned Highlands Community parties. Church, On-Site Improvements Ms. Zimmerman presented a Committee report stating that Highlands Community Church wished to continue the deferral of on-site improvements including parking and landscaping because they are in the process of obtaining approval to construct another church building. It was pointed out that the pavement that would have to be installed would have to be torn up to accommodate the new building. The church also claimed that the elevation of the church building would require additional parking to be removed which is not under the church footprint. The Committee has also heard complaints from the neighbors about parking violations. With respect to on-site parking, the Committee recommended that the church be required to install that portion of the parking previously deferred which is located on the right hand or south side of the walkway. This parking shall be installed no later than the end of February, 1991, unless such time is extended by the Council. The parking on the left hand or north side of the walkway will be held in abeyance. If the parking that is installed proves inadequate, or if the church is making inadequate progress toward obtaining approval to construct the church building, the Council will reconsider whether or not it wishes to have the deferred parking installed. Installation of the parking requires some drainage control. Therefore, to fully handle the on-site parking, the following three step process should be followed: 1) The paving required under this report should begin as soon as possible to be completed no later than the end of February, 1991, unless the time is extended by the Council. The remaining required parking deferred by 350 November 19, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Paae 350 this report will be installed as part of the construction of the education center unless ordered installed earlier pursuant to the previous paragraph. 2) The church shall install a simple drainage swale to intercept the flow from the parking lot and take it off site into a pipe and catch basin. This is a temporary solution. 3) The applicant has submitted a site plan for an educational center on the subject property. The following supplemental condition shall be appended to the upcoming site plan approval and Hearing Examiner report: "The storm drainage plan shall include drainage facilities for the paved parking area lying west of vacated Jefferson Avenue and adjacent to NE 9th Street. An element of the storm water drainage design shall be to provide adequate drainage facilities for the subject parking area and to terminate use of the temporary drainage swale located immediately west of the parking area." The report stated further that church landscaping had become overgrown with weeds and was generally poorly maintained. The church shall be required to bring the landscaping up to satisfactory condition, and remove the weeds and other foreign materials in the landscaped area. The church indicated that it recently held a meeting to discuss this problem, has scheduled a maintenance day at the church, and has arranged for periodic maintenance thereafter. This should satisfy the City's concerns, and periodic review of the state of the landscape maintenance may be conducted by the administration. The neighbors have complained about parking violations occurring on the surface streets. The church has announced to all of its members that they should obey parking laws in and around the church property. If that does not alleviate the problem, the Police Department was requested to undertake enforcement in the area until the problem is resolved. The Council will retain jurisdiction over this matter. MOVED BY ZIMMERMAN, SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Parks: Open Space Funds, Community Services Committee Chairman Zimmerman presented a report Cedar River Trail Vista stating that the Committee met on November 6, 1990, to discuss the ALEA redesignation of Open Space Bond issue funds to be used as match monies for the Cedar River Trail Vistas Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALFA) development grant application. Restructuring the match monies for this application increases the chances of the City receiving the grant. The opportunity for receiving funding from ALEA resulted from not receiving the Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation (IAC) funding, and reallocating open space monies for this match will enhance the opportunity for receiving funding from the ALFA. The Community Services Committee recommended that the Council authorize the admir.;stration to increase the commitment of matching funds for the ALEA development grant application with the Department of Natural Resources for the Cedar River Trail Vistas Park. All matching funds will be derived from the King County Open Space Bond Issue Program. The grant request cost estimate has been restructured to redesignate support items from the overall cost estimate as match monies; Cedar River Trail Vistas Project ALEA development grant 90.6% matching funds $189,908.11, King County Open Space Bond funds. The Committee further recommended that this matter be referred to the Ways and Means Committee for preparation of the appropriate resolution. MOVED BY ZIMMERMAN, SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT, AND REFER THIS MATTER TO THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.* In response to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry as to whether this action would reduce allocations to any other project, Ms. Zimmerman informed Council that this action did not affect any other project as it was a redistribution of funds. *MOTION CARRIED. Planning: Area-Wide Councilwoman Zimmerman entered a memorandum from City Attorney Rezones Warren dated October 23, 1990, referring to Kentview Properties, Inc. versus the City of Kent. Mr. Warren stated that the general rule has been that the City is within its legislative capacity when making area-wide rezones; but the Kentview case indicates that this is not the rule, and that the City will be acting in a quasi-judicial capacity in making such rezones. Mr. Warren explained that quasi-judicial means that the City will have to give notice to each individual property owner and adopt findings of fact in support of the rezone unless the rezone is part of a comprehensive plan amendment. Therefore, zoning actions required under the Growth Management Act (EHSB 2929) would be time-consuming and difficult.

The parcel is administered by the Parks Department and was purchased with 6(f) funds supplied by the Federal government. The S-Curves Environmental Impact Study (EIS) proposed to trade this parcel for a parcel of abandoned railroad property of equal value and utility. Burlington Northern Railroad has since decided to shorten the length of its proposed abandonment; therefore, the property originally envisioned for trade is not available. The Parks.Division has proposed a trade for a surplus parcel of property located between the Cedar River and the Maple Valley Highway.

Community Services Committee Chairman Zimmerman presented a report stating that the Committee recommended that no further action be taken on this matter. MOVED BY ZIMMERMAN, SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMUNITY SERVICES REPORT. CARRIED. i Planning: Zoning Map On July 2, 1990, Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11 th Place, Renton, protested Ordinance #3598 Ordinance No. 3598, which requires that the zoning map be updated and presented to Council for adoption yearly as the legal zoning classification for properties within the City limits, and this matter was referred to the Community Services Committee for review and recommendation. Community Services Committee Chairman Zimmerman presented a report stating that the City presently adopts the zoning map ordinance annually as the official zoning document of the City to take precedence over any inconsistent ordinance which might rezone an individual parcel of property. Mr. Evans believed that it would be preferable to have the text of the individual rezone ordinances govern if there is an inconsistency with the official zoning map. In reviewing this topic the Committee noted that the requirement to annually adopt the zoning map was not part of the City Code. The Committee asked the City Attorney to draft language to make this policy part of the City Code. The new language contained a method to have the Council modify the zoning map if there was a discrepancy between an individual rezone ordinance and the map. This change largely relieved Mr. Evans' concerns. The City Attorney also explained that the annual adoption of the zoning map served as a check by the City of the accuracy of the map and further protected the City from liability for incorrect designations. The Committee recommended that the City continue with the annual adoption of the zoning map, and that this topic be referred to the Ways and Means Committee for preparation of the appropriate ordinance to codify this policy. The Committee also noted that the reason for the initial annual adoption of the zoning map was the prevention of map errors arising out of rezone ordinances with reversion clauses. The Committee was informed of the legal and process problems caused by reversionary clauses in rezone ordinances. The Committee recommended that the Council avoid all use of reversionary clauses in rezone ordinances. MOVED BY ZIMMERMAN, SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMITTEE.* Council members questioned the rationale for the avoidance of reversionary clauses in rezone ordinances, noting circumstances when such clauses are necessary, i.e. group home rezones, contract rezones, etc. Committee members explained that such language misleads the public by inferring that such reversions are automatic if conditions are not met; when, in fact, Council must hold a hearing and adopt an ordinance to revert zoning to its prior classification. Council President Mathews suggested that conditional zoning changes be denoted on the zoning map, and that this designation be included in the ordinance language. *MOTION CARRIED. 361 November 26, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 361 Council: Presentations, Councilman Stredicke suggested that staff ensure that Council presentations Audience Visibility are visible to audiences in the Council Chambers. Community Event: Cable Councilman Stredicke suggested that the government access channel be used Presentations of City to present information regarding City parks and programs to the public. Programs Planning: Sign Code Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler requested a report on the status of City Violation, Detour Tavern efforts to remove a wall sign on the Detour Tavern in Renton which violates the City sign code. Public Safety Committee Public Safety Committee Chairman Edward presented a Committee report Planning: Noise Level stating that the Committee met on November 20, 1990, to consider the most Ordinance recent draft of the proposed amendments to the City's noise ordinance. The Committee discussed how the proposed amendment supplements the language in the existing noise ordinance, Title VIII, Chapter 7, of the City Code. The Committee recommended that the Council refer the noise ordinance amendments to the Ways and Means Committee for review. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Public Safety Committee Chairman Edwards reported further that the Committee held additional discussion regarding a circumstance involving Mr. and Mrs. Robert Karinen, 1205 Shelton Avenue SE, Renton. During the summer months their neighbors, who are County residents, were particularly noisy. If their neighbors lived within the City limits, they would have been in violation of Renton City Code 8-7-3.F. The King County ordinance for noise regulations has similar provisions; however, a King County prosecutor recently dismissed a case against the Karinen's neighbors explaining that there was no provision in the County Code to support the prosecution. The Committee recommended that a letter be sent to the County Council, the County Prosecutor, and the Renton District Court Senior Prosecutor asking that the County cooperate in enforcing noise regulations because of the negative impact this issue has had on City residents. Police Captain Donald Persson and Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes have agreed to draft a letter for Council review. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.

CARRIED. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE NOVEMBER 26, 1990, MEETING AS PRESENTED. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Annexation: Honey Creek in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public Ridge hearing to consider Honey Creek Ridge 60% annexation petition, 44.65 acres located at 124th Avenue SE in the vicinity of SE 100th, near Sierra Heights Elementary School. Planning and Technical Services Manager David Martin noted that this area will be developed with an urban character whether it is annexed or not since King County and Renton Comprehensive Plans show it as an urban area. Mr. Martin further stated that: 1) Staff feel the annexation would benefit the City by allowing control of development standards. 2) Applicants have agreed to covenant that the subdivision will comply with the City's development standards for roads and utilities, zoning, etc. 3) Annexation would allow an extension of sewers into the area. 4) Annexation would help to preserve the area along Honey Creek as greenbelt. 5) This proposal meets City requirements for annexation, and represents a logical extension of services and City boundaries. Senior Planner Rubin Yu showed slides and presented the following information regarding the annexation: 1) Lakeridge Development Corporation intends to develop single-family dwellings on approximately 47.2 acres of land that currently lie in both the City and County. The eastern portion of the development site, approximately 18.61 acres, is in the proposed annexation territory. 2) The 1990 assessed valuation for the property within the annexation is $1,033,887, and signatures on the annexation petition and signed covenants to annex constitute 75.6% of the total assessed value. 3) City zoning adjacent to the border of the subject site is G-1 (General) and R-1 (Single-Family Residence). An SC-P zoning category is designated for the western portion of the annexation territory in the general area of Honey Creek, and establishes a maximum density of one unit per acre with lot clustering. The P-suffix condition requires that the reserve tract created by clustering be permanent open space. North and east of the proposed annexation territory is zoned RS-7200 (RS-7200 square-foot parcels) and SR-15000 (15,000 square-foot parcels) Single- Family Residence. 4) A franchise agreement with King County Water District 107 establishes that water service to the subject area will be provided by the City of December 3, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 367 Renton. Six- and four-inch City watermains are located at the north and east of the subject site serving the Sierra Heights neighborhood in King County. Upon development, the project proponent will extend water service. 5) A twelve-inch City sewer line, the Honey Creek interceptor, traverses the southwest portion of the site. Upon annexation and development of the site, the project proponent will extend sewer services. 6) Upon annexation, Fire Station 12 located at NE 9th Street and Harrington Avenue NE would provide initial response. 7) City of Renton police patrols presently operate in the vicinity on a regular basis. 8) The City Environmental Review Committee (ERC) has issued a Determination of Non-Significance, mitigated for the proposed annexation and rezone to R-I/G-1. 9) If residential lands within the area are annexed with the existing six single-family homes and without development an additional $4,955 in revenues will accrue to the City. If 55 single family homes are developed in the area, the City would realize a revenue loss of $49,544. 10) All City departments evaluating the proposed annexation found: a) No significant problems relating to their responsibility as a result of this proposal;. b) This is a logical extension of services; and c) Service can be accommodated with existing facilities, staff, and budget resources. 11) The proposed annexation: a) Is consistent with City policies favoring the extension of existing services; b) Falls within the City's identified sphere of influence; c) Fills in a portion of an unincorporated peninsula on the City's boundary; and d) Is within the City's general service area. Mr. Yu stated further that the Administration recommended approval of the Honey Creek Ridge annexation with the following conditions: 1) Accept the annexation as proposed by certifying the 60% annexation petition, and authorize the Administration to prepare a Notice of Intention package for submission to the King County Boundary Review Board. 2) Require simultaneous imposition of R-1 zoning on those parcels designated entirely for Single Family Residential use and G-1 on those parcels having Greenbelt designation in the City's Comprehensive Plan. 3) Require property owners to assume their proportional share of the City's bonded indebtedness. 4) Require the applicants to covenant that all future development within the Albert Balch's Sierra Heights No. 5 subdivision conform to all City standards, including, but not limited to, utilities, roadways, subdivision, and zoning as a condition of annexation into the City. The covenant shall be approved by the City prior to final approval of the annexation. Council made the following inquiries: 1) Cost of sewers; 2) Would the City be required to provide sewers within County boundaries; 3) Would the lift station be contained within the City limits if this method were employed; 4) Is City presently offering water service to this area; and 5) Does platted area meet the 7,200 square-foot requirement? Senior Engineering Specialist Mike Benoit stated that installation of sewer service would cost approximately $13,000 for the average lot, and the City is presently investigating possible financial assistance for this effort, such as developer extension, State grant, etc. He explained that if a Local Improvement District (LID) was formed to serve the area, County property would be involved and a franchise agreement will be required. He said the lift station would be contained within the City limits, and pointed out its location on the map displayed in Council Chambers. Correspondence was read from John and Sylvia O'Brien, 12639 SE 101st Street, Renton, expressing opposition to the proposed annexation for the following reasons: 1) Increased property values, 2) Increased traffic, 3) Environmental impact, December 3 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 368 4) School crowding, and 5) School safety. Wayne Jones, Lakeridge Development Company, P. O. Box 146, Renton, said that the company chose to petition for annexation to develop under one jurisdiction realizing that the property would probably eventually annex to Renton. He pointed out that annexation would fit into the Renton Comprehensive Plan. He said that lot sizes in the existing portion of the development are approximately 7,300 to 9,000 square feet. He noted that two Renton schools have shut down due to lack of enrollment, schools would benefit from additional housing, and more income would be brought to the area. He reported that a traffic study was conducted before a subdivision application was submitted, and the level of service on existing streets falls below well below required standards. Mr. Jones said that he would offer rebuttal to Council following audience comment. In response to Council inquiry regarding planned road improvements, Mr. Jones indicated that SE 100th and 104th would be improved and there is possibility that 100th would be extended to full width and sidewalks added all the way to Union Avenue. He said when the future development proposals are initiated, detailed information will be provided to Council. Roger Green, 9818 124th Avenue SE, Renton, recalled that during the hearing on the 10% annexation petition for this area in March 1984, the following concerns were expressed: j 1) Narrow streets and poor access for services. 2) The steep, hilly ravine surrounding the Honey Creek area was unstable. 3) Negative fiscal impacts to Fire and Police Departments because development would necessitate new fire station and additional police patrolling would be required. He noted that the impact statement read by Senior Planner Yu does not address the developer's preliminary plan for a total of 96 units, and the concerns expressed in 1984 regarding access roads, sewers, and emergency services have not changed. He strongly urged that the Council: 1) Survey the proposed area to consider if the streets are safe, and if not, how will they be improved and who will improve them; and 2) Perform a geotechnic study of the Honey Creek area to consider how land clearing above the creek would impact the area. Ed Webster, 12351 SE 96th Place, Renton, expressed his concerns about road conditions, who will pay for sewers, who will benefit from sewers, provision of storm drains, environmental sensitivity of the area, and the impact of development on his neighborhood. Mitch Murray, 2813 NE 23rd Place, Renton, commented that upgrading of Devils Elbow lift station may be necessary to support the additional sewer capacity required for this development, and asked if there is a way to assess the developer for costs since Renton residents would not directly benefit from the improvement. CZober 1 Artie-Richardson, 12626 SE 98th, Renton, recalled that during prior annexation review, property in the subject area would not percolate and CORRECTED-REFER TO sewers were required before development could occur. He also expressed KNUT'ES OF concern about traffic patterns in the area, improvement of minimal roads (102nd and 104th), and funding of road improvements. Martha Shepherd, 10209 128th Avenue SE, Renton, pointed out the location of Sierra Heights #5 on the map. Ernie Dost, 9605 125th Place SE, Renton, expressed concern about the increased traffic that the development would create, and its impact on his property and the safety of his family. Vince Wyant, 10204 126th Avenue SE, Renton, reported that due to septic failures, raw sewage is seeping into the street in the area of 124th Street, and asked why the City has not attended to this problem. William Noble, 9801 124th Avenue SE, Renton, expressed his concern that Devil's Elbow Road has been closed, and that the proposed annexation area has been negatively impacted by traffic since that closure. _ W December 3. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 369 Steven Bernard, 9645 124th Avenue SE, Renton, reported high incidents of speeding in the area, and increased traffic caused him concern for the safety of his home and family. David Harden, 10318 125th Avenue SE, Renton, said he does not want development to occur because of the impact it would have on traffic and the environment in the area. Don Jacoby, 13045 SE 101st Street, Renton, pointed out that the proposed access to the subject site would cross his front yard which currently is on a quiet, dead end street. He felt the additional traffic would have a negative effect on his home, family, and the environment. Concern was also expressed regarding provision of sewers for the new development since both the Sunset and Devil's elbow lift stations are over capacity. Mr. Jacoby stated further that Sierra High School has over 400 students enrolled, and in his opinion, would not be able to handle an increase in student population. Councilman Stredicke asked if there was a limitation on the frequency of annexation applications for the same site. City Attorney Warren indicated there was no limitation. Responding to further inquiry, Mr. Yu advised that with only six homes developed in the annexation area, the majority of the site is undeveloped. MOVED BY TANNER, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. In response to Councilman Tanner's inquiry, Mr. Yu stated that this property cannot be developed without the installation of sewer service. In response to Council President Mathews' inquiry, Public Works staff confirmed that Metro plans to install the May Valley interceptor to be used in lieu of the Honey Creek lift station which would be removed at a later date. Metro has been asked to accelerate the schedule for construction of the May Valley interceptor. Councilwoman Zimmerman asked for confirmation of reports of raw sewage in the annexation area. Mr. Benoit reported that septic failure has occurred in the LID area previously annexed to the City; and the problem is exacerbated by a high water table, small lot size, and aging septic systems. Councilman Edwards asked whether the City or King County would have responsibility for improving access roads. Administrator Lynn Guttmann pointed out that at the annexation stage, development standards are not addressed. If the annexation is approved, the developer will be subject to all City code and SEPA requirements for development of the property at the time of plat submission. She advised that King County is under pressure to improve its road system, and the growth management legislation will force coordination of efforts by all jurisdictions. She also noted that the City's SEPA requirements are notably more stringent than those in the County, but the County would be required to improve the roads if the annexation fails and the area is developed. Another alternative would be to require the developer to improve both sides of access roadways and execute a latecomers agreement to require future development to share the cost of improvements. Upon further inquiry, Ms. Guttmann compared the City's permitting process of between 6 to 18 months to that in King County of 18 to 24 months, depending upon type of development.

Recess MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. CARRIED. Time 8:50 p.m. The Council meeting reconvened at 8:55 p.m.; roll was called; all members were present. 170 December 3. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 370 Budget: 1991 This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public hearing to consider the City of Renton 1991 Preliminary Budget. Administrative Services Administrator Dan Clements reported that the 1991 Budget totals $88,530,973.00 which is a decrease of approximately 7.1 percent of the 1990 Budget. The City's operating budget including utilities totals $53.7 million which is an increase of 2 percent over 1990. He said five strategies have been used by the Administration to balance the City's basic service needs against the softening economic climate: 1) Reducing general governmental baseline departmental requests by approximately $800,000. 2) Increasing the City's utility tax on electricity, natural gas, water, sewer, cable television by one percent which would raise about $700,000. 3) Retaining $337,000 in business license fees for general governmental operations. 4) Utilization of $596,000 in equipment rental reserves of which $447,000 will be used for general governmental purposes. 5) Increase supplemental developer fees in order to raise $60,000. Mr. Clements said that the Administration recommended that utility rates, including Metro, be increased an average of 10 percent. This follows the rate study approved by Council in 1990. Council President Mathews requested that postage charges be removed from the $66,000 budgeted for professional services and included in the postage budget. She noted that staffing levels will remain the same for 1991 but three firefighter positions will remain unfunded, and that the Administration present a staffing proposal to Council for review and approval before filling any unfunded positions in 1991. Responding to Councilman Edwards' concern about meeting the requirements of ESHB 2929, Growth Management Act, Ms. Guttmann explained that the legislation is enormously broad and will require preliminary planning. She assured Council that the sensitive areas ordinance, comprehensive plan, and capital improvement program complying to Growth Management parameters will be completed in 1991 as required by the legislation. Responding to Councilwoman Zimmerman's inquiry, Budget Analyst Joan Pringle explained that the 1990 budget for Solid Waste Utility included funds for projects deferred to 1991 (multi-family recycling program and operational audit). Ms. Zimmerman also asked how much of the approximately $272,000 budgeted in 1990 but not expended would be used for ongoing projects. A report will be provided by Mr. Clements. i Council President Mathews noted that the Hazardous Waste Management Plan is still being negotiated and funding may be required for only a portion of 1991 or may be derived from other sources, and asked for disposition of the budgeted amount of $130,000 in either of these instances. Ms. Guttmann said utility rates would fund this program, and rates would not be increased if funding was not required. Councilwoman Zimmerman requested the Administration provide her with information regarding the balance remaining in the North Soos Creek annexation funds. Audience comment was invited. Bonnie Rouse, 8045 South 118th Street, Renton, board member of the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center (KCSARC), urged that Council consider the Center's budget request for $44,000 to cover the cost of services for Renton residents, including crisis intervention, counseling, and referral. Barbara Hjelmaa, 1425 South Puget Drive, Renton, as a past board member and continuing volunteer to KCSARC, also urged that Council support the Center's budget request. Walt W. Braithwaite, President of the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce, 300 Rainier Avenue North, Renton, offered the Chamber's assistance in financial forecasting, and requested an opportunity to join with the City in the fiscal planning process. Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, commented about the following items: 371 December 3. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 371 1) Expressed concern about the shortage of Planning staff and its impact on City planning activities. 2) Stressed the importance of adequate provision of services, such as police, fire, traffic control, and building standards. 3) Suggested review of Council compensation schedule. 4) Suggested provision of legislative aide(s) for Council to maintain the separation of powers. 5) Suggested utility tax and rate increases and consideration of the impact of these rates on modest income families. 6) Expressed concern about enforcement of building standards. 6) Expressed concern about East Renton and May Creek interceptor funding. Ms. Guttmann explained that there is a minimum amount budgeted for the May Valley Interceptor for negotiations with Metro. She stated further that East Renton Interceptor funding is an issue that will be discussed during the Environmental Impact Study (EIS).

Babich III, Citizen Comment: Boeing Manager of Environmental Engineering, Boeing Commercial Airplane Group - Removal of Fuel (BCAG), P. O. Box 3707, Seattle, stating that the BCAG currently operates an Storage Facility, Airport aircraft fuel storage facility at the Renton airport. During the deactivation in 1987 of a waste fuels and solvents tank (URE 36) located at the facility, soil and groundwater contamination was detected. Due to the proximity of URE 36 to the main fuel storage tanks, it was decided that the risk generated by removal would be prohibitive, and the tank was closed in place. 373 December 3. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 373 Mr. Babich stated that Boeing is in the process of regulatory closure of URE 36 in accordance with Federal and State regulations which will require construction of a new aircraft fuel storage facility at the airport, removal of all tanks from the existing facility, and necessary remediation.

CARRIED. OLD BUSINESS Utilities Committee Chairman Nelson presented a report on the Renton Utilities Committee Vocational/Technical Institute (RVTI) request for sewer moratorium Public Works: Sewer exemption for construction of its business technology building (referred Moratorium Exemption, November 19, 1990) stating that the Committee recommended RVTI be RVTI, Monroe Avenue granted an exemption from the East Renton Sanitary Sewer Moratorium NE & NE 4th Street (Resolution #2764) with the following requirements: 1) The school district participate, to extent of benefit (as determined by the City Wastewater Utility), in the improvements as conceptually approved by Council for the Crown Point II exemption (June 4, 1990). Participation may be by one of the following methods: a) The school district may construct, at its cost, the approximately 935 lineal feet of improvements (the 880 lineal feet on NE 6th Place that would be upstream from Union Plaza would not be required), as detailed in the April, 1990 report prepared by RI-12 Engineering --- (facility improvements for the South Highland Sanitary Sewer Basin) and approved by Council. A latecomers agreement may be requested. b) The school district may wait until Crown Point II, Wonio, Pettet, or Union Plaza make the approved improvements and participate by means of a latecomers charge. c) The school district may participate with one or more of the other developers in the installation of said improvements. 2) The school district construct, at its cost, the next two levels of improvements identified in the RH 2 Report (See 1-A above) totaling approximately 450 lineal feet. These improvements will be between Manhole 13-61 and Manhole 13-63. 3) The school district agree, by recorded sanitary extension agreement to participate in the cost and/or construction of the East Renton Interceptor to the extent it benefits its property (as determined by the Wastewater Utility). The school district may be credited for those improvements made that the Wastewater Utility determines are of a permanent nature and to the benefit of the system. 4) The City must be provided approved plans for the proposed improvements prior to issuance of the building permit. Construction must be completed and accepted by the City prior to occupancy (either temporary or final). Until the improvements are accepted, the City's position is that any connection will constitute a health hazard.

Ms. Guttmann said the moratorium expires on January 31, 1992, and that the draft Environmental Impact Study (EIS) will be presented to Council at the end of January or beginning of February, 1991.

Mr. Benoit noted that nine developments were listed in the moratorium as possible exemptions based on the remaining 125 PDU's or development improvements required to provide capacity for a site (including Crown Pointe II, Union Plaza, Wonio, Pettit). All exemptions passed by Council have been subject to the condition that improvements are made before connection of service. He explained further that the existing sewer must be replaced or new connections installed prior to the provision of sewer service to the site.

H & HS: Longacres Council President Mathews entered correspondence from King County Mobile Home Park, Executive Tim Hill responding to the City's inquiry regarding relocation of Relocation of residents of the Longacres Mobile Home Park. Mr. Hill noted that as a result Homeowners of redevelopment of the Longacres site, 31 households residing in the Longacres Mobile Home Park will be displaced. He stated that King County became actively involved in issues related to mobile home park closures when parks were closed in 1988 and 1989. The County and affected cities worked with State legislators in 1989 to establish a statewide mobile home relocation program, and legislation was passed in 1989 providing funding to owners of singiewide mobile homes in the amount of $4,500 and of doublewide homes in the amount of $7,500. In August of 1990 the Thurston County Superior Court found the relocation program unconstitutional due to the requirement that developers contribute to relocate residents, and the program is not in effect while the State appeals the Court's decision. Mr. Hill stated further that though funding is limited, State and local subsidies can be combined with private funds to offer alternatives to low- and moderate- income residents displaced when a park closes, and several developers have offered relocation assistance. Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and State and local capital funds will also be available in 1991. Mr. Hill advised that the City consider working with the developer to gain time before evictions occur, and urged support for legislation to restore the relocation program. Council President Mathews informed Council that this matter has been referred to the Housing and Human Services Division.

Council President Mathews said there were several budget items at the meeting that failed for lack of a majority vote, and Councilwoman Keolker- Wheeler was not present at the Council meeting of December 3, 1990, or at the Committee of the Whole meeting of December 6, 1990, to participate in discussions and voting. Ms. Keolker-Wheeler informed Council that she had listened to the tapes of both meetings, and she would comment as items are considered. Moved by Tanner, seconded by Keolker-Wheeler, that Council allocate the increased General Fund revenues achieved by prior action at tonight's meeting and General Fund revenues further achieved this evening to fund the three unfunded firefighter positions in the 1991 Budget.** (See later action.) In response to Council inquiry, Councilman Tanner explained that the motion referred to revenues from the Cable TV tax ($144,000) and the Admissions tax ($30,000). Council President Mathews stated her concern about the lack of funding for these positions, but suggested deferring action until January or February, 1991, when information on ending budget balances would be available. Substitute motion made by Keolker-Wheeler, seconded by Tanner, Council allocate the cable television utility tax revenues to fund the Hazardous Material Fire Inspector, and reserve the remaining cable television revenue for the two unfunded positions in the Fire Department budget if Council should deem it appropriate to add these positions in January or February of 1991 when the revenue picture is clarified.** (See later action.)

MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL TABLE THE MOTION UNTIL ALL BUDGET ITEMS HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED. CARRIED. (See later action.) In answer to Council inquiry regarding ending fund balances, Executive Assistant Jay Covington explained that a fund balance results at the end of the fiscal year when revenues are totaled and expenditures subtracted. The fund balance is not allocated by department or used as a source of revenue for the budget, but remains as a fund balance until the Council decides upon reallocation. Moved by Zimmerman, seconded by Tanner, Council approve reallocation of 1990 ending fund balances to the 1991 General Fund.* Council President Mathews noted that some ending balances are designated funds. Councilman Tanner stated that the intent of the motion is to transfer ending balances into the General Fund with the proviso that requests for these funds would have to be approved by Council prior to allocation. Ms. Mathews informed Council that the following fund balances would be included in Mr. Tanner's motion: Park, $39,600; Golf Course, $105,361; Street, $30,000; Library, $10,000; Equipment Rental, $205,163; and Cable TV, $390,000. *Motion failed.

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Vacation: VAC-90-003, in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public Burnett & Park Avenue hearing to consider a petition to vacate a portion of the alleyway located N. (Cannon) between North 30th and North 31st Streets, except Lots 1, 2, 3, and 48, 49, and 50 (Jeanne Cannon et al). Correspondence was read from Administrator Lynn Guttmann (12/13/90) stating that the Board of Public Works reviewed the subject street vacation request and ascertained that: The alley was dedicated on July 18, 1904, on the face of the plat of C. D. Hillman's Lake Washington Garden of Eden, Division #1; is located in a residentially zoned area; runs east to west between North 30th and North 31st Street from Burnett Avenue North to Park Avenue North; and is unopen, undeveloped, and contains no utilities. The petition did not request vacating a portion of the alley bounded by three lots to the north and south at the most westerly end as that portion is currently being used for access by abutting property owners. The Board of Public Works recommended that: 1) The street vacation be approved as requested. 2) Council direct the Public Works Department to obtain an independent appraisal of the market value of the portion of the alley.to be vacated; cost to be born by the applicant. The Property Management Division further recommended that: 1) A processing fee in the amount of $150.00 be required from applicant upon approval by City Council of the street vacation proposal. 2) At the time the City Council recommends granting the vacation, the petitioner shall submit an additional $600.00 (deposit) to the Director of Public Works for appraisal of the subject vacation. Jeanne Cannon, 1212 North 30th Street, Renton, stated that she circulated the petition for vacation and all but three persons signed the petition. The first three lots on the alley were excluded because those residents were using the alley. She said that the rest of the neighborhood have been using the alley as a portion of their land for several years, and requested approval of the vacation. Jeanne O'Conor, 908 North 30th, Renton, expressed her concern that vacation of the alley would hinder access to the back of her lot (parcel 47 and half of parcel 48). MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. 393 December 17, 1990 Renton ity Council Minutes Page 393 Council members made the following inquiries: 1) Effect of exclusion of the area abutting lot 47 from the vacation. 2) Property owners' awareness that they would be charged for the property if the vacation is granted. 3) Council's right of recision if residents decide not to purchase property. Customer Services Manager David Tibbot explained that 25 feet of alley frontage would remain on lot 48, and lot 47 would remain open which would provide Ms. O'Conor with access to the back of her property. City Attorney Lawrence Warren explained if the Council approves the vacation subject to compensation and compensation is not received, no action has been taken by Council. At that time, Council can determine whether to abandon the vacation effort or vacate only a portion of the property. The vacation ordinance would not be forwarded to Council for adoption until monies for purchase of the property have been received. James Sampson, 929 North 31st, Renton, expressed concern about the effect of the vacation on his property line because of a four-foot differential in alignment between 30th and 31st Streets. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Ms. Cannon said that residents had not been informed that they would have to purchase the property. She also stated that it was her understanding that landowners had the option to buy their portion of the alley, but that each person would also have the option to refuse to purchase the property. Mayor Clymer explained that a decision to vacate the property would be based on someone buying the property, and that the City was allowed to sell the property up to one-half of its appraised value.

Possible ideas include: a) Match fund revenues and expenditures. b) Maintain integrity of funds within budget document (i.e., do not intermingle Airport and Street funds). c) Provide specific position count for every fund. d) Study and recommend appropriate interfund administrative payments that are consistent and based on service requirements. e) Establish a process for Council briefings and a discussion of general direction prior to the formal budget presentation. f) Complete budget deliberations by Thanksgiving. g) The budget document should show adopted budget and actual expenditures starting with 1991. h) Establish a new general budget format that meets the needs of the Administration, Council and staff. 10) Explore options for assistance with utility bills for low income households in addition to the existing rates for low income seniors and disabled (i.e., Puget Power's Energy Assistance Program). 11) Begin strong lobbying effort with Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), State and Federal government officials to receive financial assistance for oversight and testing during I-405 project. Cite the I-90 bridge collapse and Mercer Island's costs as well as current City budget slump. 12) Request that Council be notified if the level of service for any City department must be further reduced due to shortage of funds or personnel.

Mr. Reed's children, Devin and Jenna, and his sister, Alice, were also present. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Vacation: VAC-90-003, in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public Burnett & Park Avenue hearing continued from December 17, 1990, to consider a petition to vacate a N. (Cannon) portion of the alleyway located between North 30th and North 31st Streets, except Lots 1, 2, 3, and 48, 49, and 50 (Jeanne Cannon, et al). Correspondence was read from Jeanne Cannon, et al, 1212 North 30th Street, Renton, stating that the petitioners requested Council consider the following: 1) Since City staff requires that most, if not all, of an alley be vacated at one time, an unreasonable burden would be placed on homeowners for cost apportionment. 2) Payment of the cost apportionment would be a financial hardship for some households. 3) The vacation of the alley between North 30th Street and North 29th Street (block 13) was previously granted by the City and required no compensation from the abutting property owners. 4) The alley was dedicated on July 18, 1904, for the benefit of the abutting property owners; became City property when Kennydale was annexed into the City; has always been unopened and unimproved; and has never been a burden to taxpayers. 5) In the last year, four lots of 50 by 102 feet (alley not vacated) have sold on North 30th Street, and five lots of 50 by 108 feet (alley vacated) have sold on North 29th Street for approximately $30,000. The letter stated further that petitioners requested the alley be vacated at no cost to the adjoining property owners since this vacation would not increase property value or place a burden on the taxpayers. Utility System Manager Richard Anderson presented maps and photographs of the vacation area to Council. He reviewed street vacation procedures noting that the Council's approval of the vacation at this time would be conceptual, and that all conditions must be met before an ordinance finalizing vacation of the City's right-of-way is presented to Council for adoption. Mr. Anderson further stated that: R,F January 7. 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 5 1) The purpose of the vacation is to allow property owners abutting the right-of-way to incorporate that property into their lots and legitimize private improvements constructed within the right-of-way. 2) The petition has been circulated to a number of agencies and to City departments, and no unfavorable comment or recommendation for denial has been received. 3) There is no reason to retain an easement for public facilities since there are no utilities in the right-of-way. 4) The Board of Public Works does not object to the vacation. 5) Public trust elements such as transportation, circulation, pedestrian access, right to utilities, view, open space, etc. would not be at risk. 6) The proposed use and potential development is consistent with the City's land use policies. 7) The vacation serves a public purpose by putting conditional land back on the tax rolls, allowing for better utilization of the land area, reducing public exposure to liability, relieving the City of maintenance responsibility for the property, and allowing property owners to take pride in the land that accrues to them. Mr. Anderson stated that the staff recommended the vacation be granted with the following conditions: 1) Vacate entire alley (15,000 square feet) from Park to Burnett. 2) Grant property owners the necessary easements to secure access to their property. 3) Waive vacation appraisal, and charge a $600.00 administrative fee to cover the City's costs for processing the vacation to be shared by all property owners. Chauncey Betts, 1014 North 30th Street, Renton; Bill Snyder, 1209 North 31st Street, Renton; and James Sampson, 929 North 31st Street, Renton, expressed support for the vacation. In response to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry as to whether the staff recommendation would resolve property access concerns expressed at the public hearing on December 17, 1990, Jeannie O'Conor, 908 North 30th, Renton, stated that if easements could be arranged at no cost, she would withdraw her previous objection to the vacation. Mr. Anderson said that the City would be able to assist property owners in drawing up the easement agreements, review agreements after signatures have been obtained by affected property owners, and ensure that the documents are properly recorded with the County.

CARRIED. ,II , I January 7. 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 8 CORRESPONDENCE Correspondence was read from Michael Jackson, 12421 87th Avenue South, Citizen Comment: Renton, requesting connection of his property to the City's sewer system due Jackson - Sewer to septic failure, and referring to an enclosed letter from the Seattle-King Connection, 12421 87th County Department of Public Health stating that this condition must be Avenue South corrected within 30 days. Senior Engineering Specialist Mike Benoit explained that Mr. Jackson owns two lots in the Bryn Mawr-Lakeridge Water and Sewer District (the District). An investigation of Mr. Jackson's lot at 12421 87th Avenue South (Lot A) indicated that his septic system was discharging effluent upon the surface of the ground. Mr. Benoit reported that the City of Renton owns and operates an eight-inch sanitary sewer line in 87th Avenue South. Prior to 1962, this line carried the City's sewage from a portion of the West Hill to the District's system at 124th Street where it was disposed of by the District. In 1962, a new sewer was installed by the City to intercept the City's flow at South 124th Street and route it south on Taylor Avenue where it eventually reaches the Metro interceptor in Burnett Avenue. Mr. Jackson's property at 12427 87th Avenue South (Lot B) was connected to the City's sewer prior to 1962 when the line still flowed into the District's system, and he presently pays utility rates to the District. Since the lot at 12421 87th Avenue South (Lot A) is the only property within this portion of the District without sewer service or availability to service through the District, the City has an adjacent line, and extension of a sewer main would not provide sewer connection within the Health Department's time frame, staff recommended that Mr. Jackson be granted permission to connect to City sewer based on the following conditions: 1) The purpose of this connection will be to serve the existing residence or future replacement residence, and no additional connections from Lot A or B will be made without Council approval. 2) Mr. Jackson sign and have executed covenants agreeing not to protest annexation for both Lot A and Lot B. 3) Mr. Jackson make connection to City sewer consistent with City codes, standards and policies. 4) Mr. Jackson obtain and pay for all required permits including but not limited to a City side sewer permit and County right-of-way permit. 5) Mr. Jackson agree to the transfer of sewer service for Lot B from the District to the City. By this, he is acknowledging that his sewage is being transferred by the City's system to Metro, and as the District has no involvement in the process, all appropriate rates and fees rightfully belong to the City of Renton. 6) As a non-City resident, Mr. Jackson be required to pay the utility rate set by City Council for non-residents which is one and one-half the standard rate. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER. CARRIED. In response to Councilman Tanner's inquiry, Mr. Benoit explained that Lot B was connected to the City's sewer in 1962 when the City directed its flow to Metro; however, Mr. Jackson has been paying the District for this service, and condition #5 (above) will correct this error.

Mayor Clymer stated further that if the delta had not been at the river's mouth, much of the flood would have stayed within the rivers' channel, and damage would have been minimal. He informed the governor that the City will seek State assistance to finance dredging in 1991, and requested his support. Copies of this letter were also sent to State legislators.

In addition, outside lanes are being used as Q-jump lanes for traffic diverting off I-405 through Renton neighborhoods. 2) The ramp metering policy needs modification to require determination of impact of increased diversion of traffic through local jurisdiction neighborhoods. If such impacts would occur, improvement to frontage road or local arterials should be required as part of the ramp metering program. The letter further stated that the City of Renton supports the HOV system and policy issues report with the above modifications.

ADMINISTRATIVE Referred 1/7/91 - Councilman Tanner requested a report on the use of City REPORT insurance for recovery of flood damage costs. Memorandum from Dan Finance: Insurance Clements stated the following: Coverage for Flood Damage 1) City insurance includes property coverage of $59 million with a deductible of $150,000. The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) will reimburse up to 75°x6 of flood losses and expenses, and covers a number of items not covered by the City's insurance. 2) When the City was flooded in January 1990, we sustained $104,437 in losses and extraordinary costs, and $94,471 was recovered from FEMA and the State. There was no recovery from insurance carriers since the remaining $9,966 fell below the deductible. 3) While the City does not have a final damage figure for the November 25, 1990, flood, our total property losses and expenses are approximately $503,600 with $440,650 eligible for FEMA and State reimbursement. On January 25, 1991, property specialists from Gallagher Bassett Services Inc. will assess flood damages and the extent to which the City will be able to recover non-FEMA damages from insurance carriers. If the above estimates do not change, the non-reimbursed amount of $62,950 would be below the deductible level. Citizen Comment: Referred 1/7/91 - Norm Peterson, 3402 Park Avenue North, Renton, noted Peterson - Lake that the 25 mph speed limit on Lake Washington Boulevard causes congestion Washington Boulevard during peak traffic hours, and suggested the speed limit be increased to 30 Speed Limit mph to reduce cars passing slower traffic.

PROCLAMATION A proclamation by Mayor Clymer was read declaring February 17-23, 1991, as National Engineers Week in Renton and urging all citizens to join in celebrating this year's observance under the theme "Engineers Turning Ideas into Reality." MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION. CARRIED. Utility: TCI Cable, 3-H Consultant Lon Hurd, 3-H Cable Communications Consultants, 4517 Management California Avenue SW, Seattle, reported that TCI Cable increased basic service rates in 1991, and chose to charge the City utility tax to subscribers. This has resulted in an increase to subscribers, including the utility tax, of 7.8 percent in basic cable service and 10.8 percent in expanded basic cable service. Mr. Hurd said that the information offered by TCI to subscribers regarding the increases has been confusing, and that his office and the City have received many inquiries. He noted that a draft letter clarifying these charges was included in the information distributed to Council this evening, and when this letter has been finalized, it will be mailed to Renton citizens. Mr. Hurd also noted that TCI had referred to the utility tax as a B&O tax, and that this error has been corrected. Mr. Hurd informed Council that he has been investigating the failure in cable service on January 16, 1991, and the possibility of obtaining a rebate for cable subscribers for this temporary interruption in service. Council made the following inquiries: 1) Why was sales tax charged for cable services? 2) Does the City have control over cable rates? 3) Is competition allowable? 4) What percentage of the City is served by the cable franchise? Mr. Hurd explained that: 1) Cable subscribers are required to pay for the Cable guide and converters, and State sales tax is charged on these items only. 2) The City has no control over rates because the Federal government has deregulated cable rates and services. 3) Presently the City's cable franchise is non-exclusive, and there is nothing to prevent competition. 4) 95-98 percent of the City is served by cable. Council requested that the letter to citizens clearly state that the sales tax is required by the State for specific items only, and that tax is not on basic cable service. February 11, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 45 AUDIENCE COMMENT Donald Leavitt, 301 116th Avenue SE, Bellevue, stated that he owns Citizen Comment: Leavitt approximately 50 acres of land located directly adjacent to the City of - Sewer Service Renton. A previous attempt to annex this property to the City failed. He Connection (Stonegate) has since made application to and received approval from the County for a 53-lot subdivision on the property. Mr. Leavitt said that in discussions with the City Administration, he was informed that Renton sewer and water services were available. On January 28, 1991, a letter from Mr. Leavitt to Council was read which requested interim sewer service from the City for this property. The Council considered the letter, and subsequently informed Mr. Leavitt that the City would not serve properties outside its boundaries. j Mr. Leavitt stated that he would like to annex this property to the City of Renton, and asked Council what its attitude would be toward such an application. City Attorney Warren cautioned that if an annexation petition is ultimately brought to Council for decision, government principles and the appearance of fairness doctrine indicate that Council not pre-judge this issue. Therefore, other than a general expression of Council policy, it would not be appropriate to discuss support or non-support of annexation at this time. Council made the following inquiries: 1) Does this property border May Valley? 2) Will the operating district make the necessary improvements? 3) Why is the development limited to 53 lots when the previous annexation application indicated a subdivision with more than twice that number? I Mr. Leavitt said that the property boundaries are near May Valley Road. He explained that in order to access District 90 water lines, he would be required to install a mile of pipe line which would not be economically feasible. Mr. Leavitt said the property is heavily wooded, and economics and the sewer service considerations indicate that 53 lots would be more appropriate for this property. He also noted that installation of septic tanks requires land clearing, and connection to sewers would allow retention of more trees. Citizen Comment: Everett Wilcock, 11830 164th Avenue SE, Renton, expressed his opposition to Wilcock - Sewer Service annexation of Mr. Leavitt's property, and noted that the sensitive May Valley Connection (Stonegate) area has severe water and drainage problems. Citizen Comment: Gevers Cornelius Gevers, 900 Kirkland Avenue NE, Renton, stated that the - Highland Community Highlands Community Church is holding classes on Thursday evenings which Church, Traffic Control cause traffic and parking problems in his neighborhood. He requested that the Police Department monitor the area. Mayor Clymer assured Mr. Gevers that he would refer this matter to the Police Chief to monitor and report back. Citizen Comment: Webb - Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, commented that personnel I-405 S-Curve Project conducting the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) open house regarding the I-405 S-Curve project on Thursday, February 7, indicated sincere interest in taking public comment and acting upon it. He reported that a WSDOT handout outlined the phased timing for the construction on Renton Hill. i Citizen Comment: Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, commented that legislation which Vaupel - RVTI would separate Renton Vocational/Technical Institute (RVTI) from the Renton School District and allow RVTI to take as its sole property school buildings and grounds presently occupied on a rental basis has been approved by the State House Committee (House Bill 1039, Senate Bill 5184). Ms. Vaupel said that the State Higher Education Committee will be considering this issue, and urged that opposition to this action be conveyed to this committee by the City and by concerned citizens. Mayor Clymer noted that a letter has been sent to the governor and legislators regarding this issue, and the following correspondence was received in response to that letter. Correspondence from Senator Leo K. Thorsness, I I th Legislative District, Olympia, was read expressing his opinion that the community would be better served by placing the vocational/technical institutes (VTI) under the governance of community colleges; however, he will make sure that the legislation is drafted to include protection for open spaces and playgrounds. Citizen Comment: Wagner Rich Wagner, 1321 South 7th Street, Renton, noted that the Executive - King County Justice Director of King County is proposing South County as a location for the Center County Justice Center, and urged that the City investigate the opportunities and advantages of locating the center within the City of Renton.

Police: Grant Avenue Ms. Keolker-Wheeler reported that the access gate on Grant Avenue had been Gate Security inadvertently left unlocked, and she expressed her appreciation to Police Captain Don Persson for resecuring the gate. Utilities Committee Utilities Committee Chairman Keolker-Wheeler presented a Committee report Utility: School District stating that the Renton School District has petitioned the Council to relieve it Utility Connection from the full amount of the special utility connection charges for expansion Assessment, Tiffany Park of school district buildings (referred 1/28/91). The City Code for the special & Talbot Hill Schools utility connection charge provides that properties not previously assessed are assessed over the full property when new construction is undertaken. The school district indicated that the fee would involve paying for playground space and open space upon which it cannot develop structures, and that the fee is excessive under the circumstances. The ordinance does not provide for administrative exceptions or variance to relieve the district of any portion of this fee; thus, Council direction is necessary. The Utilities Committee recommended that the full Council exempt certain property held in school district ownership from the special utility connection charge to the extent that the property is maintained open space available for public use. The Committee further recommended the following: 1) The City staff and the school district meet to determine the portions of the property that fit within the open space exemption. City staff participating in this meeting include the Parks Department, Public Works Department, and the City Attorney's office. Areas subject to the special utility connection charge include buildings, parking lots, landscape areas and sidewalks. Open space include playgrounds and other maintained land areas open to general public use. 2) The staff develop a definition of open space for future use on school district development. 3) The Administration be authorized to enter into an agreement with the school district on the special utility connection charge applying the open space exemption, and staff be authorized to issue permits for the district to proceed upon payment of the agreed upon special utility connection charge fees. 4) If there are any disputes concerning how this charge should be calculated, the Utilities Committee will meet on this topic again. 5) If any changes need to be made, staff will prepare an amendment to the special utility connection charge ordinance and an issue paper for presentation and discussion with the Committee. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* In response to Council inquiry regarding the amount and fiscal impact of the exemption, Ms. Keolker-Wheeler explained that this information will not be available until the square footage allotment for open space has been calculated. The Committee report has been submitted to Council prior to such calculation to accommodate the school district's time constraints for the completion of this project. She said the Committee has recommended review and possible amendment of the ordinance since it may be appropriate to grant exemptions to the fee for certain land areas that are available for public use. Councilwoman Zimmerman expressed her concern about approving this action before information regarding fiscal impact has been provided. Councilman Edwards requested a report on the final action taken and the dollar amount of the exemption. *MOTION CARRIED.

Ms. Keolker- Wheeler also stated that cost information would be provided to Council members.

APPROVAL OF Correction to the minutes of February 11, 1991, page 46, add the following COUNCIL MINUTES paragraph after paragraph 3: Councilman Tanner opposed location of the King County Justice Center in Renton because citizens have clearly indicated to him that they do not want a jail or justice center in the City. He stated that, in his opinion, the City should not go on record as approving a County jail or justice facility in the City under any circumstances. MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL APPROVE THE MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 11, 1991, AS CORRECTED. CARRIED. SPECIAL Terry G. Paananen, Project Engineer, Washington State Department of PRESENTATIONS Transportation (WSDOT), stated that he will report to the City Council every WSDOT: I-405 S-Curve two weeks regarding the progress of the 1-405 S-Curve project. He reported Project that: 1) Construction began approximately five weeks ago. 2) The contractor is addressing the project aggressively and sensitively. 3) The target date for completion of tunneling, drop shafts, and pipe placement for cutover to the existing pipelines is October 1, 1991. 4) Construction of the tunnel beneath the freeway will continue for several weeks. 5) Two ten-hour shifts per day on the tunnel operation will begin next week. 6) Noise levels will probably not be exceeded during this time. 7) Generators will be used for electrical power for the project. 8) Material will be stockpiled during night hours and hauled out during the day. 9) Noise levels will be carefully monitored to comply with City requirements. G 10) A temporary parking lot has been opened off Renton Avenue for Cedar Avenue residents. Cedar will be closed for several months. 11) On 2/19/91, the right northbound lane on Main will be closed for four to six weeks to provide for installation of a 20-inch water line in that lane. A reversible lane arrangement will be set up on Main Street to provide for two traffic lanes in the direction of peak hour traffic flows. 12) Next week the contractor will be excavating between 3rd and 4th in the area of Cedar in preparation for construction of a wall in that vicinity. Council made the following inquiries: 'rr 1) What is the possibility of providing open space for a park? 2) Will City ordinance noise levels be exceeded? 3) What has been done to improve flagging procedures for directing vehicles through the construction site? Mr. Paananen said provision of a park facility has not been discussed. He noted that the contractor has a limited amount of space in the construction area, every square foot is needed, and safety and liability must be considered. Mr. Paananen stated that noise levels have not been exceeded as expected, and the contractor is taking every precaution to keep noise levels down. Mr. Stredicke stressed that citizens should receive two weeks notice prior to noise 54 i February 18, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 54 levels being exceeded on the project. Mr. Paananen explained that the contractor is meeting with flaggers on a regular basis, and the contractor has asked to be notified of any concerns regarding flagging. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated that the striping at the bottom of hill has worn away, construction vehicles are parking in the middle of the road, and flaggers are holding vehicles at the bottom of Mill Avenue for too long. Metro: Treatment Plant John Spencer, Director of the Metro Treatment Control Department, reported EIS on the Metro waste water control expansion project. He advised that: 1) Metro is attempting to cover all possible impacts of the waste water control expansion project at the Metro treatment facility in Renton regarding site preparation, construction, and start up in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process. 2) Odor control is of specific concern, and Metro's goal is to achieve an odor standard that is not detectable at the fence line of the facility. 3) The EIS will also address the potential impacts of the project on the area's wetlands, blue heron rookery, and interceptor and collectors. 4) A special engineering study will identify the source of the surcharging that has occurred in the area as a result of high flows, and address solutions to this problem. 5) The Cedar River trunk adjacent to the I-405 S-Curve project has been included in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to provide funds for an in-depth pre-design, and the interceptor will be relocated if the EIS indicates that this is the best alternative for protection of the aquifer. 6) The pre-design will also identify an emergency response plan and measures that can be taken to prevent exfiltration of waste water. 7) Metro will work with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to ensure that construction does not damage the Cedar River interceptor. 9) Funds have been included in the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) section of the 1991 Metro budget to provide for construction of a permanent May Creek interceptor. 10) Metro has initiated an effort to find an appropriate name for the treatment facility. 11) A major planning effort has been initiated to evaluate service needs for the next 30-50 years in the east, north, and south side of the area. Council made the following inquiries: 1) Is the Metro CIP for a five-year period? 2) What time table has been set for the May Creek interceptor? 3) Are site preparation concerns being addressed? 4) What is being done regarding protection of Indian artifacts? 5) Will the Cedar River pre-design commit to relocation of the interceptor? 6) What pipeline modification would ensure 100 percent preclusion of exfiltration? 7) What kind of odor control is in effect now? 8) Is it possible to pre-treat Snohomish County sewage streams, and how long does it take for the streams to reach the treatment facility? Mr. Spencer responded as follows: 1) The CIP covers the period of 1987-1997 with a maximum funding level for that period. The Cedar River interceptor project and the construction of the May Creek interceptor are included in the maximum funding level. 2) Pre-design for the May Creek interceptor will begin in the fall of 1991, work on the EIS will continue through 1992, and design and construction will follow completion of the EIS process. 3) Metro is proceeding with permits and EIS work for site preparation. 4) Metro plans to meet with the Muckleshoot Indians regarding protection of Indian artifacts. 5) Cedar River pre-design will not necessarily mean a commitment to relocation. Pipeline modification could be determined as the best alternative for prevention of exfiltration. 6) There is no alternative modification to the pipeline that will ensure 100 percent preclusion of exfiltration. 7) Presently there is odor control on solid processing at the facility. 8) It takes 18-24 hours for Snohomish flows to reach the treatment facility in Renton. Hauling facilities need more control, and Metro is investigating ways to offload some of the northern flows to another treatment plant in the future. February 18, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 55 PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Planning: Comprehensive in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public Plan Annexation Policies hearing to consider the draft Comprehensive Plan annexation policy. Planning and Technical Services Manager Kay Shoudy explained that the Growth Management Act of 1990 does not require Comprehensive Plan annexation policies, but recent recommendations made by the Governor to change the Growth Management Act contain a requirement for an annexation element. Ms. Shoudy explained further that the Growth Management Act requires that counties designate urban growth areas. Cities have to be contained within the urban growth areas but areas outside the city may also be included provided they are characterized by growth as outlined in the Growth Management Act. Ms. Shoudy explained that an annexation policy is necessary since urban growth will continue, and the law states that urban services will be provided by cities. Senior Planner Rebecca Lind stated that this is the first public hearing on the annexation policy. Following this hearing the policies will go through environmental review, and a second hearing will be held in April, 1991. Ms. Lind reviewed the draft annexation policy, noting that the primary annexation goal is that the City shall actively pursue annexation. Objectives of the policy were outlined as follows: I. Potential Annexation Areas Objective 1.0: Support annexation of County areas which are urban in character or are potentially urban. II. Review Criteria for Annexation Objective 2.0: Promote annexations which would enhance the quality of life in the resultant City of Renton, making the City a good place to work, live, play, and raise families. A. Boundaries Objective 3.0: Seek boundaries that readily define City and County jurisdiction and correct the existing inconsistencies of the City's borders with future annexation proposals. B. Environmental Quality and Protection Objective 4.0: Protect the environmental quality of Renton by annexing lands where future development and land use activity could adversely impact natural and urban systems. C. Emergency and Public Services Objective 5.0: Create City boundaries through annexations that facilitate the efficient delivery of emergency and public services. III. Annexation and Intergovernmental Relations Objective 6.0: Promote a regional approach for development review through the use of interlocal agreements to ensure that land development policies in King County are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies or other City of Renton development standards. IV. Annexation, Utilities, and Infrastructure Objective 7.0: Recognize in the annexation process the importance that availability of utilities plays in the development of land uses and implications of annexing substandard infrastructure. V. City Administration of Annexations Objective 8.0: Provide full and complete evaluation of annexation proposals by all departments upon the submission of the annexation proposal. In response to Councilman Tanner's inquiry, Ms. Lind stated that if the proposed residential policy were adopted, mixed zoning would be applied to existing and new neighborhoods in annexed areas under this annexation policy. Walt Canter, 14417 SE 169th Street, Renton, representing Neighbors Allied Against Annexation (N3A), expressed opposition to the proposed annexation policies since it appeared that no consideration would be given to the community subject to annexation under this policy. Ray Griffin, 14306 144th Avenue SE, Renton, pointed out inconsistencies in the plan, i.e. coordination of sewer extensions in accordance with adopted plans of the City and County, and the Newcastle Community Plan which states that sewers will not exist in the Maplewood Heights area during the life of the plan. He expressed his concern that the use of the word "feasible" is too general, and also commented that resident input is a necessary element to the annexation process. 56 February 18, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Paae 56 Brian Smith, 14805 SE 139th Court, Renton, suggested that Objective 6.0 include the school district. Roger Greene, 9818 124th Avenue SE, Renton, said that citizens are concerned with additional costs and the quality of life, and annexation does not always enhance these concerns. He suggested: 1) The City consider all costs and intended land use before annexation. 2) Developers and City planners bear the burden of proof that development will not impair the environment prior to annexation of any sensitive area. 3) An ombudsman be used to invite citizen opinions and present an objective point of view regarding annexation issues. Dennis Noland, 14326 SE 100th Place, Renton, stated his concern is regarding zoning protection for rural areas. He objected to the annexation policy stipulation that a resident of the County receiving City services is required to sign an agreement which states that he/she will not oppose annexation to the City since this implies intimidation of County residents. John Affolter, 10218 147th SE, Renton, suggested that the policy include a stipulation allowing residents in and adjacent to the proposed annexation area to vote on the annexation even though a developer has the necessary assessed valuation to annex the property. Paul Lindberg, 13836 SE 131st, Renton, stated that the policy should be written to ensure that citizen rights will be protected, and that a property will be annexed only through consent of property residents/owners in the proposed annexation area. William E. Horne, 14704 SE 100th, May Valley, expressed concern that annexation proposals are considered on a piecemeal basis. He suggested that a citizen advisory committee be formed to develop a City Comprehensive Plan that is in alignment with the King County plan. Elizabeth Powell, 15805 140th Court SE, Renton, supported the planning process underway, urged that the City actively pursue this policy, and hoped that responsible growth management be implemented in accordance with State and County requirements. Deborah Ferguson, 811 Renton Avenue South, Renton, supported a Renton annexation program. She noted that stopping growth will not cure the sewer or traffic problems, and failure to adopt an annexation program will negatively impact the City of Renton. Ms. Ferguson urged that the City pursue a planned growth program coordinated with King County. Mary Ryan, 222 Pelly North, Renton, stated that she supported the policy. In response to Ms. Ryan's inquiry, Councilwoman Mathews commented that exclusions from annexation are allowed for particular circumstances, but would not be allowed if there is only one property owner in a large annexation requesting exclusion or if the property is located in the middle of the annexation area. David Pickett, 330 Renton Avenue South, Renton, noted that the annexation policies are only one part of the Renton Comprehensive Plan, and since the Plan must deal with growth of the region over the next 20 years, population and location of potential growth must be considered. Barbara Montressor, 14130 SE 100th Place, Renton, commented that growth must be controlled, and citizens should be included in policy development. Denny Dochnahl, 2006 Redmond Avenue NE, Renton, commented that growth is inevitable and a good Comprehensive Plan will control growth. He said that those who are enjoying City services should also share in the cost of those services. Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, stated that this is a good annexation policy, and it will need Council support to ensure enforcement. He suggested that the policy address procedures for large annexations and allow residents to vote on annexation issues. Tom Burdick, 13559 139th Place SE, Renton, member of East Plateau Community Council and Sensible Growth Alliance Advisory Board, expressed his opinion that economics control growth, and that this annexation policy affects and determines the economics of development. He suggested that: I February 18, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 57 I 1) The policy be specific so that developers and City residents can determine the feasibility of an annexation proposal. 2) A resident from outside City limits be included on the Planning Commission. 3) Discard sphere of influence concept because it is outdated. Nancy Johnson, 14035 SE 122nd, Renton, stated that it is critical for the City I to move forward as rapidly as possible with the update of its Comprehensive Plan. She suggested that: tow 1) The Hearing Examiner should not bear the burden of making land use decisions that would otherwise be in place in an up-to-date Comprehensive Plan. 2) The City's annexation goal should be to objectively evaluate annexation proposals within the area established by the Planning Commission as suitable for annexation. ! 3) The appropriate tool for protection of natural resources is the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) process. 4) A moratorium should be placed on all development in the City until the Comprehensive Plan is completed. 5) The City of Renton should be neutral toward annexations, aggressively use the SEPA process, and approve annexation proposals which have been voted on and approved by the majority of the resident property owners in a proposed annexation area. Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, stated that City residents would be affected by annexation as well as those residents being annexed, expressed concern regarding responsibility for annexation costs, and stressed that annexations should be accomplished through the voting process. She also noted that the phrase "actively pursue annexation" is not adequately defined in the policy. Jim Bonwell, 9616 146th Avenue South, May Valley, stated that does not use City facilities and does not want to have his taxes raised. Grant Smith, 14733 SE 145th, Renton, commented that growth and annexation should be combined into a comprehensive plan rather than just an annexation plan. In response to Councilman Stredicke's inquiry, Ms. Lind said that agricultural and wetland zoning would have to be addressed in the residential policy and open space sections of the Comprehensive Plan, and that the City and County will address the configuration of May Valley jointly during the mapping process. Recess MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. CARRIED. Time 9:25 p.m. The Council meeting reconvened at 9:32 p.m.; roll was called; all members were present. In response to an inquiry from Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11th Place, Renton, City Attorney Warren explained that previously annexation property was zoned G-1, but recent history the City has attempted to annex and rezone concurrently in order to answer public concerns. If property did not come in as a concurrent annexation/rezone, the recommendation of staff is generally zoned to a G-1 holding zone. Mr. Warren said that a developer would not be able to develop an annexed property until he had completed the platting process with the City.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11th Place, Renton, asked if written records are kept Citizen Comment: Evans on the Committee of the Whole meetings and was informed that tapes of the - Building Permit meeting are available in the City Clerk's office. He requested that the Issuance issuance of building permits which is a Committee of the Whole agenda item this evening be moved forward and discussed at this time. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler explained that there would be no formal action taken at the Committee of the Whole meeting, and that the Committee's report on building permits will be presented at the regular Council meeting on March 4, 1991. Councilman Tanner suggested that if no legal requirement exists to publish notice of the issuance of permits, the Council should require notification to the public since permits are substantial governmental action that must be appealed if a citizen wants to challenge a land use issue. Councilman Stredicke noted that it would cost the City approximately $330.00 per week to publish notification of all permits issued. Citizen Comment: Darrell Igelmund, 3602 Lake Washington Boulevard North, Renton, referred Igelmund - Park to consent agenda item 5.g, regarding a request for a task order to authorize Avenue/Washington an engineering firm to perform preliminary design work on the Park Boulevard Interchange Avenue/Washington Boulevard interchange. He noted that the City had conducted a series of meetings, which included North Renton and North Kennydale residents and members of the industrial community, to develop a transportation plan. Mr. Igelmund pointed out that this is one of the first major contracts involved in that mitigation. (See later action.) Citizen Comment: Ury - George Ury, 7663 South 134th Steet, Seattle, owner of property located at Windsor Place Apartments 4502 NE 4th Street, Renton, requested advancement to the Utilities Latecomer Agreement, Committee report. LA-002-90 Advancement Request MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO OLD BUSINESS, UTILITIES COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Utilities Committee Referred 11/26/90 - Utilities Committee Chairman Keolker-Wheeler Latecomer Agreement: presented a report stating that the Committee recommended that the Hearing Ury, Windsor Place Examiner's recommendation on the latecomer agreement (W-953 and S-474), Apartments, Bremerton Windsor Place Associates, Developer, (appellant Ury) water and sanitary Avenue NE, LA-002-90 sewer improvements in Bremerton Avenue NE, north of NE 4th Street (LA- 002-90) be accepted with the following condition: i 66 February 25 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 66 1) Mr. and Mrs. George Ury sign a restrictive covenant within 45 days from acceptance of this report stating that they will not connect this property to the water and sanitary sewer improvements in Bremerton Avenue NE. The Committee report also stated that if the Mr. and Mrs. Ury sign the restrictive covenant, their property will be exempt from this latecomers agreement. If they do not sign the restrictive covenant, the Committee recommended that the Hearing Examiner's decision be modified. The Committee recommended that the Council determine that this latecomers agreement be handled under the procedures in place prior to the effective date of the latecomer ordinance. These particular improvements were initiated before the ordinance was approved, and it was impossible for the developer to seek approval for a latecomers agreement for installing the improvements. Therefore, the developer obeyed the law in existence at the time of installation of the improvements, and the application should be allowed to proceed under the old rules. If the latecomers agreement is processed under the old rules, assessments should be on the zoned front foot method. The Hearing Examiner's decision that the property is potentially benefited by this utility installation should be accepted. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.' George R. Ury stated that he is contesting this assessment since the petition was submitted after the improvement was installed and there was no grandfather clause in the latecomer ordinance to cover this situation. Mr. Ury explained that he did not want the assessments on record against the property because: 1) The property could be assessed on the side facing Bremerton Avenue NE and on the side facing NE 4th Street. 2) If the property were sold, the finance company would require payment of the assessment prior to completion of the sale. Upon Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's request, City Attorney Warren explained that prior to passage of the latecomer ordinance, which includes appeal rights, the procedure was to adopt, execute, and record a latecomer agreement without providing notice or appeal rights to a third party. He stated that this improvement was begun before the effective date of the latecomer ordinance so it was impossible for the developer to apply to the City Council for a latecomer agreement prior to installation. Mr. Warren stated further that the restrictive covenant should not harm the property. The City's concern is that if the property is developed and more fire flow is required, it may be necessary to connect to the side line, and the owner will benefit from construction that another party has installed. Mr. Ury expressed his concern that the property might be assessed for sewer on the 4th Street side and on the Bremerton side. Mr. Warren explained that a property owner cannot be charged twice unless the property would receive a calculated benefit from the improvement. *MOTION CARRIED. Citizen Comment: Kimberly Swanson, 1909 NE 36th Street, Renton, representing North Renton Swanson - Kennydale Neighbors, requested consent agenda item 5.h be advanced for discussion. Rezone, R-085-90 Advancement Request MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO CONSENT AGENDA, ITEM 5.h. CARRIED.

She said it is felt that response time would be seriously affected in emergency situations. Ms. Swanson also suggested that provision of City services for an R-3 apartment development would be costly. Ms. Swanson pointed out that the area is unique because it is connected to the environmentally sensitive May Creek basin area, and that since the storm drainage system in the area is inadequate, runoff from this development would endanger the delicate balance of the area. She urged that the Council consider this rezone carefully. February 25, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 67 MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL REFER THIS ITEM TO PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW.* Mr. Stredicke made the following inquiries: 1) Is there anything to prevent the City from declaring a sewer moratorium in the highlands or a fire moratorium in the North Renton area? 2) If a property is rezoned today, what length of time is required before another zoning application can be submitted on that property? City Attorney Warren stated that a declaration of moratorium may be issued as long as the Council enunciates sufficient reasons for such action. He explained further that a rezoning application can be submitted one year from a previous rezone on the property. Mr. Stredicke stated that, in his opinion, the only issue to consider in this rezone is how the City will provide emergency services to the area. *MOTION CARRIED. Citizen Comment: Winn - Robert Winn, 1011 West Perimeter Road, Renton, representating for the Specialty Restaurants Castaway Restaurant and its employees, stated that a new, motivated staff Inc., LAG-007-76 plans to make the Castaway a landmark in the Renton area.

He also distributed a comprehensive plan map to Council highlighting the location of the multi-family units, noting that 60- 70% of the development's proposed multi-family units would be located in an area which is designated on the map to be of a lower density. Councilman Stredicke requested that Mr. Miller be notified when the Planning and Development Committee meets on this issue. Citizen Comment: Webb - Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, suggested that minutes be Committee of the Whole provided for Committee of the Whole meetings since substantive discussion of Record, Appeal Process items of interest to citizens occurs in these meetings. Mr. Webb also commented that the appeals process should be organized to inform citizens of key issues.

Councilman Tanner stated that he voted against the annexation, but as a member of the Committee, he voted that a new hearing be granted since the proponent on the annexation indicated that his constitutional rights were not afforded him in the previous public hearing. Mr. Tanner stated further that his vote for a public hearing does not indicate a change of mind regarding r�rr j this project; however, he assured those present that he will keep an open mind in considering information presented on this issue. Don Joss, 9805 126th Avenue SE, Renton, opposed holding another public hearing at this time. He said that he had understood that since public hearings had been held on this proposed annexation and the issue had been voted on, the matter could not be reconsidered for at least one year. Jill Smith, 3920 NE 22nd Street, Renton, stated that she lives in the Sierra Heights area, and was not notified of the previous public hearing on this issue. Rosemary Bressina, 12428 SE 98th Street, Renton, questioned why this issue must be considered over and over again. Judith Ann Zdilar, 10035 126th Avenue SE, Renton, commented that Council's previous denial of the annexation had meant that residents of the area had been able to voice their concerns and had been heard. She expressed her disappointment that the Council would allow an additional public hearing on this issue. In response to Councilman Stredicke's request, Councilman Tanner explained that new information on proposed deeding of park property in connection with this annexation has been presented. Executive Assistant Covington also commented that the Administration has additional information to present to Council regarding this proposal. In response to Councilman Tanner's request, City Attorney Warren explained that it is not City policy to require that a developer dedicate park land to the City; however, the City is working on a recommendation for a parks mitigation fee which will be forthcoming.

LID: 335, Sierra Heights Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated that the Sierra Heights local Sewer Improvements improvement district (LID) issue was discussed at the February 20, 1991, Utilities Committee meeting and is being held in Committee. She also said that the Council and Administration are working on resolution of the problem. Broken Gas Line, Renton In response to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry, Mayor Clymer Hill explained that a gas line was broken on Renton Hill two days ago while the gas company was relocating a line. He reported further that repairs have been made. Plannine & Development Referred 2/11/91 - On February 8, 1991, Mayor Clymer transmitted detailed Committee scoping comments to the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle (Metro) for the Metro: Treatment Plant Metro East Division Treatment Plant expansion Environmental Impact EIS Statement (EIS). The Mayor noted that the Council had not had an opportunity to review the information, and this item was referred to the Planning and Development Committee for review. The Committee recommended concurrence with the scoping comments contained in the Mayor's letter, but felt that the comments to the scoping notice for the EIS did not go far enough since they did not address impacts associated with the transmittal of up to 50 percent more sewage through the City of Renton on its way to the expanded treatment facility. The five-year, $150 million project will increase the plant's treatment capacity from 72 million gallons of sewage a day to about 108 million gallons of sewage a day. Because much of this additional sewage is proposed to be transported through Renton's Aquifer Protection area and could potentially have disastrous impacts on our potable water supply if a major spill occurred, and because this additional capacity will likely increase pressure for new development along the City's edges, the Committee recommended that Metro be asked to consider off-site impacts in the draft EIS. The Committee also recommended that the Council: r.. 1) Endorse the City's response to the scoping notice for the Metro East Division Treatment Plant expansion EIS. 2) Add the following comment/issue to the Administration's response on scoping conveyed in its letter of February 8, 1991, to Metro: The draft EIS should include project impact and mitigation analysis on the sewage delivery system. This should include a complete discussion of the impacts of the proposed expansion as it affects the sewage delivery system, as well as subsequent impacts to land use (as a consequence of future growth the expansion will bring), and to the aquifer and ground water supplies (because of the increased potential for contamination i 1 i February 25 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 7 occurring due to the transport of greater amounts of sewage through an already fragile delivery system to the plant). 3) Ask the Planning and Development Committee to continue monitoring this project; hold meetings in which other parties of record may be invited to review Metro's response to the comments/issues raised by the City in the draft EIS when necessary; and review possible mitigation measures that the City would favor. 4) Express its concern that the time line established by Metro for publishing the draft EIS on March 15, 1991, may not allow sufficient time for the City's comments/issues to be fully addressed. ,,,W MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. In response to Councilman Edwards' question as to how these recommendations will be conveyed to Metro, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Guttmann said the City Clerk will incorporate the Committee recommendations in a letter to inform Metro of Council action, and Public Works staff will also meet with Metro regarding this project.

WSDOT: 1-405 S-Curve Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler requested a status report on a broken gas Project line on Renton Hill and procedures for protecting residents in future emergencies. Memorandum from Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Lynn Guttmann stated that the broken line was a service connection scheduled for replacement, and that due to failure to obtain an easement, Washington Natural Gas could not relocate the gas line as scheduled. The line was broken because this information was not reported to the subcontractor performing excavation work along Cedar Avenue. When the emergency occurred, Washington Natural Gas was notified immediately and responded within a matter of minutes. The subcontractor did not notify the Renton Fire Department of the emergency. Ms. Guttmann further stated that staff has emphasized to I-405 S-Curve project personnel that safety is of paramount importance to the City, and has informed the contractor to call 911 immediately should a similar emergency occur in the future. February 25, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pave 71 WSDOT: I-405 S-Curve Referred 2/11/91 - Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler requested information Project on the dechlorination building appearing on I-405 S-Curve project diagrams, and a report regarding a damaged load limit sign on Renton Hill. Memorandum from Administrator Guttmann states that the dechlorination building measures 17 x 23 feet. Valves are being installed in the relocated Seattle Water Department (SWD) water lines which will allow drainage at this point to provide for maintenance and repair of lines. Ms. Guttmann explained that the operation of the dechlorination building involves dumping a chemical into a vault within the building and running the water from the pipelines through the vault to remove chlorine before depositing the water into the Cedar River. No chemicals will be stored in the building. She stated further that a building permit has been issued to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), full review of the design has been performed, and all City standards will be met. The area which will contain the building was proposed for a sit-in park, and the City is working with WSDOT to find a suitable area for relocation of the park space at the base of Renton Hill. Ms. Guttmann also reported that the damaged load sign restricting heavy trucks from using Renton Avenue was apparently knocked over by a vehicle, and was recovered by the contractor and replaced. She stated that there was no evidence that the sign was purposely removed or that trucks from the construction site have attempted to exit from the top of Renton Hill.

Condition of The letter stated that a neighbor owning 1.4 acres bordering Wells Avenue Neighborhood Lot North on the east and Lake Washington Boulevard on the west has created the following problems for neighbors in the area: 1) An increasing number of old cars, trucks, and equipment (unlicensed and not running) have appeared on the property. 2) Outdoor fires burn at inappropriate times. 3) Fir trees planted along the property line have overgrown the City right- of-way causing parked cars to partially block a one-lane street making passage difficult. Overgrown trees also block home views in the area. 4) The owner of this property complained about surface water runoff, but would not give the City a natural easement to assist in taking care of the problem. 17 March 4. 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 77 5) An addition to the house on this property was begun six years ago and remains unfinished. There is also a smoke stack sticking out of a basement garage where a plane was built, and debris has piled up in the yard. Mr. and Mrs. Kloes' letter further requested that the City develop appropriate ordinances to provide regulation for such issues. In response to Council inquiry, Mayor Clymer stated that a copy of the letter would be forwarded to all Council members. Citizen Comment: Evans Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11th Place, Renton, referred to the matter of issuance VON. - Building Permit of building permits discussed by Committee of the Whole on 2/25/91. Issuance Noting that he was unable to attend the meeting and a tape recording of the proceeding was unavailable, Mr. Evans requested discussion of the matter at this time. Mr. Evans cited information contained in a letter from the City Attorney to the Community Services Committee, dated 8/10/90, which outlined the administrative appeal process, including appeal of the building permit. He also referred to a recent finding by Mr. Warren that no legal requirement exists to publish notice of issuance of building permits. Mr. Evans felt there was a conflict between the two opinions and requested further information. I Advancement Request MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO OLD BUSINESS, COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT. CARRIED. Committee of the Whole Council President Nelson presented a Committee of the Whole report stating Public Works: Building that the Committee discussed notice and publication requirements for Permit Issuance building permits on 2/25/91, as a result of a citizen query to Council. Council asked staff to look into existing requirements for notice and publication of building permit applications and report on the City's current efforts to make permit applications available to the public. The report stated that the City Attorney indicated that there is no legal requirement to publish notice of the issuance of building permits. The Committee report further stated that the City does make information Mm regarding the issuance of building and related permits available to the public in the following ways: l) Weekly report attached to Council minutes; 2) Weekly report available at third floor counter; 3) Monthly report available at third floor counter; 4) Monthly report mailed to Valley Daily News "Construction Data"; 5) Public computer terminal at the third floor counter available for all permit and inspection data, 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. on weekdays; and 6) Permit issuance information can also be obtained by calling 235-2540 between 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. on weekdays. Council requested that the Administration use the City's cable access channel and the Renton Report to publicize the methods the City uses to publish notice of issuance for various permits. The Administration will continue to attach a listing of permits issued to copies of Council minutes on a weekly basis. (For those weeks when there is no Council meeting, the permit list will be attached to the following week's Council minutes). In response to Councilman Edwards' inquiry, Mr. Warren stated that the City Code provides two potential opportunities for appeal of the issuance of a building permit: 1) appeal from administrative determination of the City's land use regulation codes; and 2) appeal from administrative determination implementing a written land use decision of the City Council or Hearing Examiner. Mr. Warren noted that it is not obvious that a permit will be appealable when it is issued. Councilman Tanner proposed that a list of permits issued be published in the newspaper for official notice even though this would cost approximately $330.00 per week. He stated further that if there is not a legal requirement to publish such notice, Council should create one. Noting that $330 seemed excessive, Mr. Evans suggested a revision in the ordinance stating that the appeal period run 14 days from the date of public notice rather than 14 days from the date of issuance of the permit. l March 4. 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 78 Councilman Stredicke objected to publishing information in the newspaper, and suggested that the City review the internal system to provide improved methods of notification. In response the Councilwoman Zimmerman's inquiry, Mr. Warren explained that the City initiated the appeal process so that the public would have a way to redress their grievances. 1 Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler suggested that the Council give the Administration an opportunity to review the internal process and suggest �r possible alternatives to the Council and not stipulate specific action at this time. Mr. Warren expressed concern that if Council took final action on this matter this evening, staff would not have an opportunity to consider legal issues and the potential of the City's liability. MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL AMEND THE COMMITTEE REPORT TO REQUEST THAT THE ADMINISTRATION LOOK INTO ALTERNATE WAYS TO NOTIFY THE PUBLIC OF THE PERMITS THAT CAN BE APPEALED, AND REPORT BACK TO COUNCIL IN TWO WEEKS; AND THAT COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT AS AMENDED.• Councilman Tanner suggested that a permit register maintained by a City department be open and available to the public, and that the appeal period begin after the permit issuance had be shown on that register. •MOTION CARRIED. For the record, Councilman Tanner stated that it is not up to Councilman Stredicke to determine what he or any other Council member says. Citizen Comment: Walker Joan Walker, Blaylock Company, 10717 NE 4th, Bellevue, commented that to - Records Research complete a recent research project, she needed to review building permits and environmental determination records on a property in Renton covering a five-year period. She stated that City departments made the information available to her, that she was able to obtain all the information needed, and that the system worked very well for her in this instance. Citizen Comment: Lukins Jeff Lukins, 113 South 23rd Street, Renton, president of the Victoria Hills - Benson Road Widening, Homeowners Association, noted that the 2/25/91 Council minutes stated that Victoria Hills, FPUD- a citizen purporting to represent the Association indicated that a Victoria 042-85 Hills common area was encroached upon during construction on Benson Road. Mr. Lukins reported that the Association has been working with City staff to mitigate this situation, that the resident appearing before Council on the 25th did not represent the Association, and that the Association is using approved channels to resolve this issue. Since the minutes of the 25th indicated that this matter was referred to the Transportation Committee, Mr. Lukins said he wanted to clarify the situation for the Council so that there would be no duplication of effort. Citizen Comment: Norman Peterson, 3402 Park Avenue North, Renton, complimented the Police Peterson - Department for watching his residence while he was away on a trip, and the Commendation, Street street crew who repaired the surface water problem on his street. Noting that Cleanup, Speed Limit glass debris on City roads has not been cleared when tow trucks pick up Washington Blvd. damaged vehicles, he suggested that the City contact towing companies to request that debris be cleared away. He also reiterated a previous request that the speed on Lake Washington Boulevard be changed from 25 mph to 30 mph. Councilman Stredicke noted that the speed limit and stop signs in that area were installed by the City at the request of the Kennydale community. Councilman Edwards requested that Mr. Peterson receive a copy of the 1/21/91 Administrative Report which addressed his concern regarding the speed limit on Washington Boulevard. Citizen Comment: Vaupel Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, commented that over 600 signatures - Speed Limit Washington appeared on petitions submitted by the Kennydale community for the posting Blvd., RVTI, Korean War of stop signs and speed limits on Washington Boulevard.

She announced that copies of signed petitions opposing this legislation have been submitted to Senator Sylvia Skratek. March 4. 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 79 Ms. Vaupel also commented that historically women have been omitted from monuments and historical references of prominence.

Mr. Covington said he will provide Mr. Evans with copies of the proposals. Councilman Tanner opposed the proposed Comprehensive Plan policy for residential areas because it appears to eliminate exclusive R-1 (single family residential) zoning, and suggests the establishment of mixed zoning which would meld City zoning and increase density. Joan Walker, 4333 Monterey Avenue NE, Renton, Planning Commissioner, cautioned against discussing these proposed policies out of context, and that a Planning Commission recommendation on these policies will not be made until the public has had an opportunity to review and comment on the proposals in workshops and public meetings.

OLD BUSINESS Planning and Development Committee Vice-Chairman Edwards presented a Planning and report regarding the lot coverage standards in the R-3, medium density Development Committee multifamily, and R-4, high density multifamily zones. The Committee Citizen Comment: recommended concurrence with the recommendation of the staff and the City Gonzales - Zoning Attorney that current Zoning Ordinance development standards (for lot Standards in R-3 and R- coverage, setbacks, and permitted density) established in the R-3 and R-4 4 Zones zones be retained without change. Modification at this time to serve selected properties or all properties zoned for R-3 and R-4 development is not considered to be advisable for the following reasons: 1. The current development standards are considered to be reasonable standards to permit attractive, safe, functional living environments (including adequate open space, landscaping and recreation as well as privacy and defensible areas). 2. In evaluation of multifamily residential projects, City staff and City Council have generally supported developments of moderate size, lot coverage and density, and with more substantial open space/setback areas. This support has been based upon the better compatibility of such projects with City development goals and the capacity of the City to more effectively provide services and infrastructure for these projects. 3. Consideration of changes to development standards is likely to be most efficiently managed in conjunction with the City's current efforts to revise the Comprehensive Plan and to achieve compliance with the Growth Management Act. As the Plan is not yet complete, however, it would be premature to make modifications to the ordinance at this time.

Board/Commission: For the record, Councilman Tanner felt constrained to comment on a couple Planning Commission of statements contained in the Planning Commission minutes of 2/20/91. He Residential Policies noted that the statement is made that the Council appears not to have any vision relating to residential policies emanating from the Planning Commission. Mr. Tanner indicated that it very well may be that his vision of the City is not in accordance with the Planning Commission's vision as outlined in that residential policies. The Commission minutes reference discussion of proposed workshops for citizens and suggest that workshops might be conducted for the Council. Mr. Tanner observed that the Commission is under the impression that Council members do not understand the residential policies as presented. He stated that his problem is just the opposite. He does understand and that is why he has the difficulty, and he does not see a policy document which proposes mixed zoning for the entire City of Renton to be appropriate for anybody's vision for this city. Councilman Stredicke indicated concurrence in Mr. Tanner's comments, and was opposed to total revision of the Comprehensive Plan since valuable prior staff time would be lost. Mr. Edwards cautioned Council members to keep an open mind and expressed appreciation to Planning Commissioners for their dedication and hard work in developing the policies.

Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Lynn Guttmann accepted the proclmation on behalf of her staff. i PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Annexation: Honey Creek in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public Ridge 60% Rehearing hearing to consider the Honey Creek 60% annexation petition, 124th Avenue SE and SE 100th and 104th Streets. Letters were received from the citizens listed below opposing the proposed annexation due to lack of access to the subject site, generation of additional traffic from new development, and the potential high cost of the sewer local improvement district (LID), particularly for those who are not experiencing septic failure: Ann Hurley, 125 SE 99th; Avis and John Buff, 10247 - 126th Avenue SE; Thomas B. Malmoe (no address provided); Mr. and Mrs. Mike Engum, 10115 128th Avenue SE; Donald J. Haack, 10533 126th Avenue SE; E. G. Nordblad, 12632 SE 101st; Lenore Stensland, 10519 126th Avenue SE; Mrs. Howard Ashbaugh, 10227 126th Avenue SE; Bob Nopel, 10213 126th Avenue SE, Renton. It was noted that all of the above addresses are located in King County. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Lynn Guttmann advised that at the annexation public hearing on 12/3/90, development-related issues appeared to be the main concern of residents and Council members, and the staff report will address those issues. Ms. Guttmann introduced City Attorney Lawrence Warren who presented a historical overview of the proposed annexation. Utility Systems Manager Richard Anderson pointed out the location of the proposed annexation area on the map, and explained that the property to be annexed is on a plateau with a steeply sloped side which runs down to the Honey Creek. He stated further that the annexation applicant has proposed that a water detention facility be constructed which would improve the storm water system by collecting runoff from the existing development and the proposed development. Council members made the following inquiries: 1) Location of the detention facility; 2) Can an interceptor line be installed; 3) Cost of sewer service; 4) Status of King County Health Department septic tank study for the area; and 5) Status of grant funds application. Mr. Anderson pointed out on the map that the detention basin would be located in the upper area of the ravine running down to Honey Creek; that an interceptor line could be installed whether the property is annexed or not; that the current estimated cost of connecting to the sewer system would be approximately $13,000 to $15,000 per property; and that King County's survey of Sierra Heights septic systems should be completed in May, 1991. Preliminary studies show that of 90 residents, 28 are in the City: 13 septic systems are failing, 3 are pre-failing, and 8 are limited. Engineering Specialist Mike Benoit said that grant funding would depend upon the determination that septic tanks pose a potential health hazard and whether that hazard constitutes an emergency situation. The results of the King County survey will determine the level of emergency that exists in the area. Mr. Anderson stated further that if this area is annexed and a development is approved, the developer would be required to provide a sewer line extension which would also serve City residents in the Sierra Heights area. 115 April I 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 115 Park Director Sam Chastain noted that the open space program approved by Council included the Honey Creek as a project area. He said it is the City's intent to preserve sensitive areas through acquisition, mitigation, easements, and any other available alternatives. Mr. Chastain stated further that the City recently purchased a parcel of park property which lies within the proposed annexation area, and that the developer has stated an intention to dedicate a 19-acre parcel of property to the City which would provide an opportunity to protect this sensitive area in the open space program. Council members expressed the following concerns: 1) Would this area be preserved under King County jurisdiction; 2) Provision of access to open space area; 3) Configuration of drainage facility; 4) Planned trail as indicated on the map appears to interfere with the detention facility; and 5) City liability regarding any sloughing off from the steep slopes. Mr. Chastain said that the steep slopes in excess of 40 percent would be protected under King County jurisdiction, and that the intent of the City is to use the existing maintenance road for a recreational easement which would limit intrusion into sensitive areas. Mr. Anderson explained that the proposed storm drainage facility and the trail are in the same general area; however, they would not interfere with each other. He stated further that the design of the detention facility has not yet been determined. Mr. Warren said that the City would be responsible for sloughing damage only if it has been negligent. Recess MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. CARRIED. Time 8:40 p.m. The Council meeting reconvened at 8:45 p.m.; roll was called; all members were present. Transportation Planning Manager David Martin noted that the plat currently approved in King County does not consider slopes in the area, but the developer's proposed plat takes the area's topography into account. A geological study indicated that it is safe to develop the property if proper setbacks are maintained. Council members made the following inquiries: 1) Does approval of annexation constitute concurrent approval of the proposed development? 2) What would the City do about the sloughing in the area if the property were not annexed? 3) If the property were developed and created a number of impermeable surfaces which increased the storm drainage flow, would the developer be responsible for damage caused? 4) Is the City responsible for cleaning up damaged caused by sloughing problems? 5) How many lots are platted for this property under the existing King County zoning? I Staff responded as follows: 1) Annexation is the only issue being considered this evening; however, since many of the concerns expressed by the public and the Council at a previous hearing appeared to be related to development-related issues, the staff is presenting information regarding potential development in the area. I 2) If the property is not annexed to the City, the County would take care of I any sloughing problems; but the City would have the right to take ■.. corrective action regarding utilities in the interest of public health, safety, and welfare. 3) The developer's responsibility for sloughing problems would have to be determined by geological and soil experts. 4) The City would not necessarily be responsible for cleaning up sloughing problems. Corrective action in such cases would probably be determined by the life safety threat involved, funds available, and whether the damage was caused by City negligence. 5) The County plat for this property contains approximately 96 building lots. Mr. Martin explained that a total of 96 houses is planned for the proposed development, and this will generate approximately 960 additional trips per day, with approximately 96 trips occurring during peak hours. Several A ril 1 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Paee 116 narrow half streets exist in the area that would be widened by the developer if the development project is approved. Mr. Martin stated that the easterly section of SE 104th Street will remain as is since right-of-way is insufficient, and to mitigate the impact of the development on this street, the developer has proposed to extend SE 100th Street to SE 101st. 1 Council made the following inquiries: 1) Will access road to Devil's Elbow Road be provided? 2) Will there be access to 95th Street? 3) Where would the access from the proposed development be? WMW 4) Would it be possible to limit use of 104th to emergencies? Mr. Martin said that no access road to Devil's Elbow Road is planned at this time; that a proposed roadway would connect to SE 100th Street to 122nd Avenue SE to provide better access to SE 95th Street; that access to the development would be through SE 100th and 104th; and that he did not know whether use of 104th could be limited to emergencies only. Fire Chief Lee Wheeler said that response times for emergency service to the area were measured from Fire Station 12, County Fire Station 72, and the proposed site for Station 12, and that all response times from the present Station 12 were less than County response times from Station 72. Administrator Guttmann outlined the advantages and disadvantages of the Honey Creek annexation proposal as follows: Disadvantages: 1) Residential development will increase the amount of traffic in the local area. 2) Fire response time is one minute below the City's standard of five minutes. 3) Fiscal analysis shows a negative impact to the City of $50,000 per year. Advantages: A) Proposed single-family development conforms to both current zoning and existing land use of surrounding properties. B) Proposal meets criteria specified by City Council Resolution 2429 for review of annexations, and annexation would meet the following requirements: 1) Logical extension of City services 2) Located within the City's sphere of influence 3) Logical boundaries which partially fill in a peninsula of King County which currently extends into the City. 4) Adjacent property is currently developed and it is likely that growth will continue in the surrounding areas in the next ten years. 5) The proposed development is consistent with the zoning and land use of surrounding area. C) Annexation and development of the area would lower the cost of providing sewer service to the Sierra Heights LID area due to a larger population to share cost. D) An erosion problem currently exists along the bank, and construction of a regional detention facility and application of City development standards to the new development will solve this existing erosion problem. E) The sensitive area along Honey Creek is currently threatened, and the proposed Honey Creek development will dedicate 19 acres of land along the creek to the City which will help preserve the natural area. F) New east-west street linking SE 101st, SE 100th, and 122nd SE will improve the transportation flow for the proposed development and existing residences. Police and fire service to the area will be enhanced by construction of this link. G) Annexation will allow the City to control the development process. The City will require construction of transportation and utility facilities which will mitigate impacts of the development and improve the existing systems. Council asked the following questions: 1) Will development of the area be residential only? 2) Is there any way to recoup the $50,000 negative impact on the City's finances? 117 April I 1991 Renton Cit v Council Minutes Page 117 3) Will the property be developed whether it is within City or County limits? Staff responded as follows: 1) This property would continue to be zoned single-family residential, but would require replatting. 2) The negative financial impact will not be offset immediately by the increased development, but over a period of time, service costs will level out. Property tax value will be acquired from new residents; however, this revenue will not be realized immediately. 3) County zoning for this property is single-family residential, and the property is platted for development. Wayne Jones, Lakeridge Development, P.O. Box 146, Renton, noted that his company addressed many of the development issues related to this property, and that at the previous annexation hearing it became apparent that there were many concerns about these issues. He stated further that he would comment and answer any questions following the input provided by citizens present at this evening's meeting. Council asked the following questions: 1) Will 96 lots be the maximum proposed for the development? 2) Does the City presently have a right-of-way over the property outside the City limits? 3) Would the developer pay for the tie-in trunk line? Mr. Jones stated that there may be a few less lots than presently proposed, and that the lots, at 9,000 square feet in size, would be consistent with the existing area. Mr. Anderson said the southern boundary of the proposed development would provide street right-of-way, and the proposed sewer project would use that right-of-way. He stated further that the City would expect that a large part of the trunk line costs would be paid by the developer.

Mr. Bruce Smith submitted a petition signed by 33 citizens supporting the annexation and the provision of sewers to the Sierra Heights neighborhood at the lowest possible cost. David Casey, Lakeridge Development, made the following statements: 1) Lakeridge Development Company is confident that the proposed development will meet the criteria of the King County Boundary Review Board. 2) The Company has control over property which will provide northern access to Paradise Estates and the eastern extension of 100th. 3) The property is developable within King County as well as Renton, and the annexation was requested so that all of the developer's property in that area could be developed under the jurisdiction of one government entity in order to expedite mitigation. 4) Access to Paradise Estates will benefit residents by providing a secondary emergency access to the area. 5) A homeowners' association for the development would own the water retention facility, and would have maintenance responsibility for that facility. April 1 1991 Renton City Council Minutes PqQP 11 I 6) The retention facility would be constructed to City standards and be bonded by the developer for at least one year. In response to Councilman Stredicke's inquiry, Mr. Casey said that the 1 developer is aware of the requirement to install a trunk line across the property to serve the proposed development. As requested by Councilman i Edwards, Mr. Casey explained that the extension of SE 100th Street would include road improvements consistent with City standards such as full width improvements, lighting, and sidewalks on one side from Paradise Estates to Union Avenue SE. ..r MOVED BY TANNER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

In response to Councilman Tanner's request, the Committee report tabled by Council on 3/18/91 was read: Referred 2/25/91 - Planning and Development Committee Chairman Mathews presented a report stating that the Committee recommended denial of the Kennydale rezone since it is untimely, based upon information 119 April 1 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 119 presented by City staff and the Hearing Examiner's report for the following reasons: 1) Inadequate road improvements to handle the projected traffic and access to the site. 2) Drainage and wetlands issues are inadequately addressed. 3) Recreational amenities in proximity to the proposed development are inadequate. 4) Emergency response times are greater than City standards and create unwarranted risk. 5) Proposed Comprehensive Plan land use designations bisect the property into R-2 and R-3 zoning. While designations are not intended to be precise, it would be appropriate to address this issue in the upcoming Comprehensive Plan review.

Mr. Tibbot stated further that the principal petitioner's property is zoned B-1 (Business), and is currently developed with an automobile dealership. The vacation would consolidate the principal petitioner's property and provide an additional 7,488 square feet to the existing 94,840 square feet creating approximately 8 percent increase in developable area. The abutting property owner with interest in the right-of-way would be provided with an additional 600 square feet.

April 15, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 136 Mr. Tibbot stated further that there will be no impact on the public trust elements of transportation (circulation), access, light and air, and views. He reported that concerns regarding utilities would be addressed through retention of a utility easement on this property. Council members made the following inquiries: 1) Has the property been previously appraised? 2) If a utility easement is required, can building be done on the property? 3) What are the conditions for refund of the $600.00 deposit? 4) Will the large parcel of property west of this vacation obtain access through this property? Mr. Tibbot responded as follows: 1) An appraisal has not yet been performed on this property. 2) If the applicant wants to build on the property, construction elements would have to consider the easement. 3) The vacation ordinance does not provide for refund of the $600.00 deposit which is charged for services rendered. There is also a $250.00 filing fee which covers administrative costs for application processing. 4) The large irregularly shaped parcel to the west of the vacation is actually under one ownership, and access is provided through NW 7th Street. A letter from Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Guttmann was read stating that at its April 3, 1991, meeting, the Board of Public Works reviewed the subject street vacation request and ascertained the following information: 1) The principal petitioner's property is zoned B-1, business, and is currently developed with an automobile dealership. 2) The vacation may be sought to consolidate the petitioner's property for future expansion/development of the existing business. 3) Staff made a field inspection of the site, and determined that vacation of the road will not affect access for current residents and property. 4) The Transportation Division reported that the streets are not required for access. 5) Utility Systems Division has stated that the right-of-way currently contained a sewer line. The right-of-way may be required for future storm water diversion/collection. 6) All other City divisions and outside utility companies had no objection to the proposed street vacation. Mr. Tibbot advised that the Planning/Building/Public Works Department and Board of Public Works recommended approval of the vacation contingent upon the following conditions: 1) The City retain a utility easement over the entire portion of the right-of- way to be vacated. 2) Upon Council approval of the proposed vacation, the petitioner shall place with the Administrator of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department a $600.00 fee as deposit for securing an appraisal of the subject vacation site. (Also required at the time Council grants the proposed street vacation is a processing fee in the amount of $250.00.) Further, it is recommended that the Council direct the Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator to obtain an independent appraisal of the fair market value of that portion of the street to be vacated. The cost of the appraisal is to be borne by the applicant. Gene Meyer, 255 Rainier Avenue South, Renton, applicant, stated that he had no immediate plans for the property. In response to Mr. Meyer's inquiry, Mr. Tibbot assured that the easement will be returned to its original or better condition if the City is required to perform work on the property.

Garbage: Solid Waste Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler reported that the Solid Waste Interlocal Disposal Fees Plan Forum will meet on April 26, 1991, to consider the use of Energy Resource i Recovery (ERR) funds. She said the Suburban Cities Association (SCA) has a particular concern regarding the funds collected from a surcharge levied by the County to obtain funds for building a garbage incinerator, a project the County has abandoned. Utility Systems Manager Anderson informed Council that the County Executive has prepared a rate study which will be sent to the Interlocal Forum proposing that disposal rates be raised to $63 per ton. If the fee is implemented, the study proposes further that the current rate paid by the City of $47 per ton remain in effect, and a subsidy to the $63 level be provided from the ERR fund until December 31, 1991. At that time, the remaining balance in the fund would be approximately $15.6 million. Mr. Anderson further stated that the proposed disposal rate increase resulted, in part, from the Seattle disposal operation being moved to Oregon which will require that fixed costs be distributed over a smaller base. Mr. Anderson said that Seattle has negotiated an agreement with the County for reimbursement of its share of the ERR funds. The County would hold the remaining fund balance to be used for a variety of items, including an environmental remediation reserve fund for resolving claims against the County arising out of past landfill operations. Ms. Keolker-Wheeler reported that the Utilities Committee reviewed this matter and proposed a draft letter to be sent to County officials outlining recommendations for use of the ERR fund as follows: 1) Money should be provided to suburban cities to be used for waste reduction and recycling programs. Priority should go to funding multifamily housing and commercial programs, except in cities which have not been able to establish residential programs due to funding constraints. 2) A fund should be established for environmental claims that may result from solid waste collected from within City boundaries and deposited at Cedar Hills landfill. In addition, an amendment to the Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement should be signed and agreed upon by all parties which would give King County the authority to police the contents of the solid waste stream within City boundaries in return for which the County would hold the Cities harmless for any damages that may be caused by the solid waste stream generated within the City. 3) An Environmental Reserve Fund should be established that would be designated only for purposes of remedial action for specific sites that are agreed to by King County and the suburban cities. 4) Funds designated for a particular purpose could not be used for other purposes unless agreed to by King County and the suburban cities. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT TO SIGN AND SEND THE PROPOSED LETTER. CARRIED.

The Committee recommended that the interlocal agreement be signed by the Mayor and City Clerk, and that a resolution be drawn that reflects concern in three areas: 1) mandatory planning language; 2) designation of Suburban Cities Association as the appropriate appointing authority for representation from cities of King County other than Seattle; and 3) Vision 2020 be referenced as a guide, not a policy statement. The Committee further recommended this item be referred to the Ways and Means Committee, and that the approval process be expedited to meet the deadline of Wednesday, April 24, 1991.
