134-"g

improvements, program dispute resolution, and future MOA. Staff explained
that project mitigation, compensation, and systems improvements would have
a substantial possible dollar impact on the City, if the MOA is implemented
as currently proposed.
Staff also explained that the City needs to adopt a resolution authorizing the
execution of the MOA with Metro by 5/13/91, since the Metro Council is
scheduled to adopt a similar resolution on 5/16/91. Timing is important since
the City has requested that Metro not issue the final EIS for the project until
the MOA is adopted. The Committee recommended that this item be
referred to the Ways and Means Committee. MOVED BY MATHEWS,
SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE
REPORT. CARRIED.
Planning: Residential Referred 12/17/91 - Planning and Development Committee Chairman
Care Facilities Ordinance Mathews presented a report stating that both State and Federal law have
changed requiring the City to permit adult family homes in residential and
commercial zoned areas. An adult family home is limited to four adults not
related by blood or marriage, but a maximum of six adults if certain
standards are met. A larger number of individuals, from five to fifteen,
would be housed in what has been termed a residential care facility and
would be allowed in multi-family residential zoned areas. The present City
Code, which permits group homes as a condition use in the G-I zone, may be
in conflict with the State and Federal law.
The City is in the process of preparing an amendment to its comprehensive
land use plans which may include changes to the zoning categories. A change
in the permitted uses within a zoning category, at this time, would be
confusing and potentially conflicting with the proposed changes. Rather than
eliminating the present code section, which would mean that there is no
zoning in which such uses would be a permitted use, or declaring a
moratorium which would prevent the use altogether, it is recommended that
the City Council continue using the existing ordinance section and addressing
the potential conflicts between the Code and the State and Federal law on a
CORRECTED-REFER Ir® case by case basis, only until such time as the changes in the comprehensive
plan and zoning code can be finalized. At that time, the necessary changes to
MINUTES OP the zoning code to permit residential care facilities would be adopted after
the requisite public hearings.
Planning: Reserve Parking Referred 4/22/91 - Planning and Development Committee Chairman
Definition Mathews presented a report stating that the Committee met to consider
Hearing Examiner Fred Kaufman's request for clarification of "reserve
parking" under Ordinance 4-14-8(L) and response from staff dated 4/22/91.
Upon review, the Committee recommended concurrence that the Parking and
Loading Ordinance refers only to the applicant's option to request that
parking to be placed in reserve. This ordinance should be revised to clarify
that the City also can call for parking to be placed in reserve, as part of a
Transportation Management Plan. The proposed revisions to the Parking and
Loading Ordinance will be referred at a later date to the Council for review
and approval.
The Committee recommended that staff continue to be authorized to call for
reserve parking as a part of a Transportation Management Plan under State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and the Comprehensive Plan. The
applicant would continue to be permitted to formally appeal conditions
calling for reserve parking in conjunction with environmental review and/or
site plan review. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-

Airport: Boeing FEIS, Councilman Tanner referred to a letter from Mayor Clymer that responded to
Airport Noise Committee inquiries made by Mr. Tanner regarding increased production rates at the
Renton Boeing plant.
Mayor Clymer responded to Councilman Tanner's specific questions on this
issue as follows:
1) "Was the City notified of the increased production rate prior to its
implementation?"
Answer. Due to the proprietary nature of production rates, the City does
not receive this information prior to public announcement by The Boeing
Company. The increase from 17 to 21, coupled with the current rate of
seven 757's per month and the termination of AWACS production, totals
approximately 28 planes per month. Boeing has estimated that this
figure will rise to 29.5 planes per month by early 1992. The Company
will notify the City if the production schedule varies from this estimate.
2) "If you were notified, what additional environmental review was
undertaken?"
May 13, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 167
Answer: The City's responsible official, the Environmental Review
Committee (ERC), is reviewing the proposed change in the context of
the entire project to determine whether the change and potential impacts
were anticipated in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and what
action should be taken.
3) "What additional mitigation measures were imposed?"
Answer: The ERC will review the noise discussion and relevant impacts
identified in the EIS and mitigation measures imposed. Additional
mitigation may be imposed by the ERC if the EIS discloses potential
adverse impacts not previously mitigated.
Mr. Tanner requested a copy of the ERC findings on increased production
levels by The Boeing Company and the Noise Committee report regarding
current production noise levels. Mr. Tanner noted that in legal briefs dated
4/16/90 and 4/24/90, the City stated that if The Boeing Company Renton
plant exceeded agreed upon employment and production levels, additional
environmental review would be required.
ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS

SPECIAL Terry G. Paananen, Project Engineer, Washington State Department of
PRESENTATIONS Transportation (WSDOT), reported that:
WSDOT: I-405 S-Curve
Project 1) Construction work in the Main/Houser/Mill area will be completed this
week at which time the road will be paved.
2) The dropshaft on the last of the three project tunnels has broken
through, and there should be no further problems with that phase of the
project which will enable the contractor to accelerate the required work
in order to meet the 10/1/91 deadline for cutover of the existing
pipelines.
3) Construction of the superstructure for the Renton Avenue detour should
be completed in July, 1991, in order to reroute traffic and close Third
Street in that vicinity.
Council members made the following inquiries:
1) Who attends the S-Curve Construction Committee meetings?
2) Why will Third Street be closed?
3) Will the Mill and Third intersection remain open?
4) Will vehicles have to use 7th Street to exit from Cedar or Mill?
Mr. Paananen stated that WSDOT I-405 project representatives are always in
attendance at the S-Curve Construction Steering Committee meetings. He
explained that Third will be closed at the intersection of Third and Renton
Avenue, and traffic will be rerouted back into Cedar to permit construction
of a wall in that vicinity. Mr. Paananen stated further that there will be a
reroute of Third between Cedar and Mill, and vehicles will not have to use
7th to exit from Cedar or Mill.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler requested that holes on Mill Avenue be
patched, and that residents on Renton Hill receive information regarding the
status of the water pressure problem in that area. She reported that some of
the flaggers on the project have been discourteous to drivers; however, one
flagger has been polite and attentive to his duties.
Utility: Sewer System Utility Systems Manager Richard Anderson reported that on 4/4/91 a
Pipeline Damage, Devil's washout on the Devil's Elbow roadway disrupted the City's sewer system
Elbow pipeline, and necessitated the shutdown of the pump station. He presented a
drawing of the Devil's Elbow slide area, and informed Council members that
a video tape of the area is available for viewing upon request.
174
May 20 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 174
On 5/16/91, the east and west sides of the roadway dropped separating the
pipeline and causing another shutdown of the pump station. Mr. Anderson
stated further that:
1) Following shutdown of the pump station, regulatory agencies were
notified and an emergency declared so that immediate repairs could be
effected.
2) A wet well at the Devil's Elbow pump station provides storage capacity
for flows. The flow that enters this reservoir is being emptied by a
pumper truck daily which will continue until repairs are effected and
pump station operations are reestablished. ,,�►
3) An old pump station has been reactivated to relieve the flow coming into
the Devil's Elbow pump station.
4) The unstable roadway and pipeline will need to be repaired to ensure
access to the pump station.
5) Preliminary estimates suggest that the necessary repairs will cost
approximately $60,000 to $75,000. Staff will come back to Council with
recommendations for modifying Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) to
accommodate this expenditure.
Council made the following inquiries:
1) Where is the Honey Creek extension to the May Creek pipeline?
2) If the annexation of this area is finalized and development is approved,
what effect will development have on the sewer load?
3) Is the line from the pump station exposed to the air at this time?
4) How much roadway has caved in?
Mr. Anderson responded that the extension of the pipeline will parallel
Honey Creek across May Creek; the current sewer system is designed to
accommodate proposed development; the pipeline is exposed in two spots
upstream from the pump station; and the caved-in portion of the Devil's
Elbow roadway measures 100 x 68 feet.
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 Draft Annexation hearing to consider the Comprehensive Plan draft annexation policies.
Policies
Correspondence was read from Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, stating
that State law provides for annexations by vote and by petition based on the
percentage of assessed valuation of the real estate involved in the proposal.
Ms. Vaupel stated further that City annexation policies allow the people
living in the area to be annexed, and City residents to vote on large
annexations because of the effect growth has on the tax base, City services,
and City-imposed user rates. Ms. Vaupel expressed concern that annexations
are self supporting only when commercial or industrial properties are
involved, and stated her opinion that the annexation process is unfair.
Planning Technical Services Manager Kay Shoudy noted that the draft
annexation policies being reviewed by Council are part of the update of the
City Comprehensive Plan which will be brought to Council later this year.
The Planning Commission requested that the Council review the draft
annexation policies prior to the Comprehensive Plan due to concerns
regarding ongoing annexation in areas adjacent to the City and the need for
updated guidelines to deal with such annexations. Ms. Shoudy said that when
the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review process on these policies is
completed in mid-June, the policies will be returned to Council for further
consideration.
Ruth Saari, 14317 SE 170th Street, Renton, 98058, Vice-Chair of Neighbors
Allied Against Annexation (N3A) commented that the N3A has not changed
its position of opposition to annexation and to these policies.
David Halinen, Attorney, 800 Bellevue Way NE, Suite 300, Bellevue, 98004,
representing Stoneway Concrete and Stoneway Rock and Recycling, noted
that the City has designated the Stoneway concrete batch plant site located
between Cedar River and Maple Valley Highway as Zone I in the aquifer
protection area, and has recommended that Stoneway relocate the facility. He
said that the company plans to relocate the plant to a Black River Quarry
site, and wants to make sure that the policy framework considers eventual
annexation of that site so City utilities can be obtained for the plant. Mr.
Halinen stated further that suggested changes to the annexation policy by
Stoneway are outlined in the letter entered into the official annexation
policies file at the 5/6/91 Council meeting, and urged Council consideration
of these changes.

May 20, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 175
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler referred to Stoneway's suggested revision of
Policy 1.4 which requests the specific addition of the Black River Quarry
area, and said that she would consider a proposal which included generic
language rather than the designation of a specific site.
In response to Councilman Stredicke's comment that the language should not
refer to a specific property, Mr. Halinen said that City staff has indicated
that the Black River Quarry site would be appropriate for relocation of the
Stoneway plant, and that in referring to the specific location, he was focusing
the suggested policy change to be consistent with discussions between City
staff and Stoneway.
In response to Councilwoman Zimmerman's inquiry, Mr. Halinen explained
that Stoneway is seeking annexation because they are aware of the City policy
not to extend water and sewer services beyond City boundaries. He said that
Stoneway is suggesting a modification to proposed policy 7.2, which prohibits
extension of such services, to permit extensions to areas committed to
annexation in the event there is a coordination issue between annexation
processing and actual connection of utilities.
Joe Riedi, 13635 SE 135th, Renton, 98059, opposed annexation on the East
Renton plateau. He stated that the City's annexation policies would be a
rallying cry to join County residents together, and supported the right of
residents to vote on annexation.
Mary Hamblin, 13025 138th Avenue SE, Renton, 98058, opposed any
aggressive policy that would not give affected landowners the right to vote
upon an annexation.
Andrew Duffus, 9605 143rd Avenue SE, Renton, 98056, expressed concern
that Renton policies permitted 7,200 square feet lots in newly annexed areas,
and stated that the May Valley could not sustain small-lot development. He
urged that a moratorium be established on development in the May Creek
drainage basin.
Walt Canter, 14417 SE 169th Street, Renton, 98058, said that the draft
annexation policies have not been changed since the first public hearing on
this issue, and that he continues to oppose annexation to the City of Renton.
Roger Greene, 9818 124th Avenue SE, Renton, 98056, suggested that:
l) The annexation policies' goal statement be changed from "...actively
pursue annexation" to read: The City of Renton shall responsibly
consider annexations.
2) The City go to the Boundary Review Board prior to obtaining annexation
approval.
3) The City give more consideration to the environmental issues in sensitive
areas.
Council made the following inquiries:
1) How is the Boundary Review Board schedule determined?
2) Are there any proposed changes in annexation legislation regarding
voting procedures pending at this time?
Ms. Shoudy explained that the Boundary Review Board is under State
jurisdiction, and that the State determines scheduling for the Board review
process. She stated further that there are no proposed changes to annexation
legislation regarding voting procedures at this time. Councilman Stredicke
noted that this does not prevent the Council from requiring a voting process
for citizens inside and outside the City in annexation issues.
Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, 98055, commented that
regardless of State law, the annexation policy should be changed to provide
that Renton citizens as well as involved citizens residing outside the City be
allowed to vote on any annexation exceeding 50 percent of the City's
population.
Tom Hellene, 18233 141st Avenue SE, Renton, commented that growth is
inevitable, and stated that he supported the responsible planning suggested in
the draft annexation policies.
Council members asked the following questions:
1) Has the Planning Commission established a residential/agricultural zone
that would preserve rural areas?
I - 1
May 20, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 176
2) What is the status of cooperative efforts between King County and the
City of Renton to keep the May Creek area as a rural/natural area?
3) What will be done to establish holding areas and rural reserves?
4) What is the status of the Planning Department proposal regarding future
limitation of R-3/R-4 development?
5) How will annexation policies be accommodated fiscally?
Ms. Shoudy responded as follows:
1) The Council Comprehensive Plan Coordinating Committee (CCPCC) is
drafting an ordinance addressing the issue of low-density zoning. The
Planning Commission has considered low-density zoning such as urban
separators and alternatives for the protection of environmentally sensitive
areas. A policy statement will be included in the Comprehensive Plan
which would support ordinances related to the protection of
environmentally sensitive areas, such as wetlands, frequently flooded
areas, geologically hazardous areas, wildlife habitat, and aquifer
protection areas.
2) The City of Renton and King County will cooperate in the development
of protective measures for the preservation of the environment of the
May Creek, Soos Creek, Cedar River Valley, and the Springbrook
aquifer areas.
3) Holding areas and rural reserves are issues that would be addressed
during the implementation process following adoption of the
Comprehensive Plan.
4) Planning staff have developed an issue paper regarding the limitation of
R-3/R-4 development which has been presented to the Planning
Commission for review. Few applications for permits have been
received by the City for this type of development since the first part of
1991, and it is believed that the present recession and banking crisis have
created their own moratorium on R-3/R-4 development. If the Planning
Commission decides to proceed on this issue, the proposal will be
brought back to Council for consideration.
5) The annexation policies require that a fiscal impact assessment be
conducted relative to the area to be annexed.
Councilwoman Mathews requested that the draft ordinances regarding zoning
be submitted when the annexation policies are returned to Council following
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review.
MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CLOSE
THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
Moved by Stredicke, seconded by Zimmerman, Council refer draft
annexation policies to the Planning and Development Committee, and that the
policies not be returned for another public hearing until the question of
zoning issues on natural land and sensitive areas and the question of area
elections are considered and recommendations made to Council.*
Council made the following inquiries:
1) If changes are made in the annexation policies, will they have to be
resubmitted for SEPA review?
2) Will scoping questions come to Council for approval prior to SEPA
review?
3) If the SEPA process is allowed to continue, could the Council be held to
the policies even if it does not approve of some of them?
Staff responded as follows:
1) The SEPA process will be scoped by the staff and Environmental Review
Committee (ERC), and the issues of Council concern could be taken
under consideration as alternatives. As long as the impact of the
proposed changes is identified and substantiated in the Environmental Ed
Impact Statement (EIS) or in the environmental process, SEPA review
would not have to be redone.
2) Scoping questions are reviewed by the Environmental Review Committee
(ERC) for determination as to whether an EIS is necessary.
3) The SEPA process is an administrative process in which technical staff
determine the environmental consequences of an action, but the ultimate
authority to establish City policy rests with the Council.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler suggested that since the Planning
Commission developed these draft annexation policies, the Commission be
given the opportunity to review public testimony and Council comments prior
to Council action on the issue.

letter from Mayor Clymer to Councilman Tanner regarding the Renton
Boeing plant increased airplane production rates. Mr. Webb said the
production rate of "40 planes per month" quoted in the letter is not mentioned
in the Boeing Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) document, and that
mitigation in this instance was for the proposed project and not for the
maximum production alternative. Mr. Webb expressed concern that Boeing
did not reveal production rate increases to the City prior to implementation.
Mr. Webb also urged that the appeals process information be accessible to the
public so that citizens can exercise their appeal rights.

Finance: Salary Advisory A report from the Renton City Council Salary Advisory Committee was read
Committee, Council recommending that Council salaries be raised $75.00 per month to a level of
Compensation $625.00, and that the Council President receive an additional $50.00 a month.
Medical, dental, and retirement benefits would not change.
The Committee recommendation is based on the following:
1) The last Council salary review was in 1981;
2) Councilmembers spend a significant amount of time in Council activities
and responsibilities;
3) Council compensation should be comparable and competitive with other
cities; woo
4) Councilmembers participate in regional meetings in addition to other
duties; and
5) The additional $50.00 for the Council President is based on the
responsibility the position bears.
The Committee further recommended that Council salaries be reviewed on a
biyearly basis by a citizens' committee appointed by the Mayor.
In response to Councilwoman Zimmerman's inquiry, City Attorney Warren
stated that only newly elected Councilmembers would receive the increase,
and each Councilmember would receive the increased compensation following
the election process for the new term for that position.
Councilmembers suggested that the following issues be considered when
reviewing the recommendation:
1) Compensation for activities that are not included in the routine
responsibilities of a Councilmember.
2) Compensation for time taken from a job to attend Council activities or
meetings.
3) No additional compensation for Council President.

Richards - Appeal, Renton Village Associates redevelopment of the Renton Village Shopping
Renton Village Center, Center and the addition of a ten story office complex, South Grady Way (SA,
South Grady Way (SA, CU-078-90). Mr. Richards observed that the office complex in the shopping
CU-078-90) center would be close to other commercial office buildings and the freeway
system, and have a minimal impact on the City of Renton. He stated further
that restrictions placed on this project to solve area flooding and to reduce
building size to mitigate traffic are inappropriate since these are City-wide
issues and not the responsibility of an individual project. Mr. Richards
suggested that the City work with citizens and businesses on an area-wide
plan that would address traffic and flooding issues.
OLD BUSINESS Referred 5/20/91 - Public Safety Committee Chairman Zimmerman presented
Public Safety Committee a Committee report stating that the Committee met on 5/29/91 to consider a
CAG: 91-058, Interlocal resolution to authorize Mayor Clymer to sign an Interagency Joint Purchasing
Purchase Agreement, Agreement with the City of Seattle for a two-way 800-megahertz radio
Trunked 800-Megahertz communication system. The City of Seattle, together with a group of eastside
Radio System cities and King County, are proposing the creation of a regional two-way
radio and microwave system for emergency communications.
The purpose of this Agreement is to provide the City of Renton with the
ability, if they should so choose, to be part of this regional radio
communication system and purchase equipment under the terms and
conditions outlined in the request for a proposal prepared by the City of
Seattle, which has set 6/4/91 as the deadline for receiving the signed

Committee presented a report stating that the Committee met on 5/21/91 to review the
H&HS: 1991 Community staff's recommendations regarding 1991 Community Development Block
Development Block Grant Grant (CDBG) funds allocated to the King County Housing Opportunity
Funds (YWCA) Fund. The allocation is intended as a local match to leverage the County
fund for the development of housing.
The Council adopted the 1991 CBDG program and Contingency plan with the
matching funds designated, in part, to the YWCA South County Transitional
Shelter for Domestic Violence Victims. The plan recommended additional
funding for the YWCA project contingent upon the successful implementation
of other CDBG funded activities, with a portion left undesignated. Since the
Housing Opportunity Fund requires proportionate leveraging of City funds as
a condition of serving City residents, designating the entire amount of
$28,966.00 to the YWCA Transitional Shelter project will enable more Renton
residents to be served. After review, the Committee recommended Council
concurrence. MOVED BY TANNER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS,

June 3. 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 192
ADMINISTRATIVE Referred 4/15/91 - Mary E. Merbach, 13732 SE 141st, Renton, representing
REPORT Maplewood Heights Maintenance Corporation, requested that the
Citizen Comment: Administration investigate the ownership of riparian property along Cedar 1
Merbach - Error in King River. Memorandum from Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator
County Assessor's Map Guttmann stated that the Maplewood Heights Maintenance Corporation
(Maplewood Heights claimed that a portion of property previously under King County Jurisdiction
Maintenance Corporation) was inadvertently deeded to the City of Renton. Ms. Merbach's claim was
based on the following apparent discrepancy:
a) Government Lot 4, as depicted on Exhibit A (1973 King County Assessor
Map), lies south of the Cedar River.
b) Government Lot 4, as depicted on Exhibit A (1990 King County Assessor
Map), lies north of the Cedar River major path and south of a creek
thread.
After reviewing information from the King County Assessor's office, Ms.
Merbach, and the Renton Parks Department the Technical Services Division
recommended that the City enter into a boundary line agreement with
property owners adjacent to this property to resolve the apparent boundary
discrepancy by establishing a boundary independent of the river's location.
This recorded agreement should alleviate litigation and future controversies
concerning the subject properties.
Citizen Comment: Webb - Referred 5/6/91 - Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, requested
Boeing FEIS, Airport information regarding use of tax funds for Renton Noise Mitigation Steering
Noise Committee Committee activities and Committee-proposed noise monitoring.
Memorandum from Administrator Guttmann stated that the Noise Mitigation
Steering Committee was an outgrowth of the Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) mitigation set forth by the Environmental Review Committee (ERC)
concerning airplane engine testing noise associated with Boeing's expansion
and increased production plans. The Boeing Company was to pay the
reasonable cost associated with hiring a private facilitator to sit on the
Steering Committee up to $5,000, which included administrative costs. No
tax funds have been or will be required for the facilitator throughout
meetings of the Committee.
A proposed recommendation of the Committee is that during the construction
of noise abatement barriers in a pilot project, noise levels shall be measured
before and after the barriers are erected; and that after valid tests have been
performed, the Committee will reconvene to review the data and engineering
analysis for follow-up recommendations to the ERC.
Monitoring of aircraft engine testing will be conducted with a device that has
an adjustable noise threshold and records sounds exceeding the established
threshold on cassette tape. Since the device utilizes rechargeable batteries and
standard cassette tapes, operating costs are negligible. The recording of
information and the interpretation of data will require that a person daily
install new tapes, recharge batteries, listen to the tapes, classify the {
information, record the events on a log, and identify, store, and log the tapes.
Streets: Vegetation in Referred 5/13/91 - Councilman Stredicke requested that the vegetation along
Sidewalks, Benson Benson Highway be removed. Memorandum from Administrator Guttmann
Highway stated that the Maintenance Division is currently spraying the weeds. Ms.
Guttmann further stated that street crews periodically spray vegetation in the
public right-of-way, and wash down traffic dividers three times during the
summer months.
Utility: Water Quality Referred 5/13/91 - Council requested that the Administration investigate a
Misinformation letter from Clearwater Distributing Services sent to residents that questioned
water quality on Renton Hill. Memorandum from Administrative Services
Administrator Dan Clements stated that Clearwater Distributing Services is
not licensed; but the parties who signed the marketing letter for Clearwater,
Jeff and Bernie Shultek, are licensed at 2921 Talbot Road South, Renton,
under the name of American Energy Systems.
AUDIENCE COMMENT Mary E. Merbach, 13732 SE 141st, Renton, 98059, advised that the Trustees
Citizen Comment: of the Maplewood Heights Maintenance Corporation have not had ample time
Merbach - Error in King to study the information regarding Government Lots 4 and 5 and the Quit
County Assessor's Map Claim Deed given to the City by King County, and when the Trustees have
(Maplewood Heights reached a decision regarding this issue, she will report the Corporation's
Maintenance Corporation) response to the Council.

SPECIAL Chief Alan Wallis announced that the Police Department's Bicycle Patrol will
PRESENTATIONS be deployed on 7/3/91 to work a daily ten-hour schedule from 11:00 a.m. to
Police: Bicycle Patrol 9:00 p.m. in downtown Renton, North Renton, Renton Village (Grady Way)
and the Renton Center (Rainier Ave). Chief Wallis introduced Bicycle Patrol
Officers Christine Mathews, Lawrence Strauss, Rick Cross, and Sergeant
Floyd Eldridge who will supervise patrol activities.
Sergeant Eldridge described patrol uniforms, and displayed standard patrol
equipment. He stated further that the patrol will provide a unique
opportunity for police officers to communicate directly with citizens and
foster community relations. Chief Wallis noted that bicycle patrols have been
successful in other cities, and that this is an important step toward involving
the community in the policing aspects of law enforcement.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stressed the importance of wearing bicycle
helmets, and felt that by observing bicycle safety rules, police officers will
encourage young people to follow their example.
WSDOT: 1-405 S-Curve Terry G. Paananen, Project Engineer, Washington State Department of
Project Transportation (WSDOT) for the 1-405 S-Curve Project, reported that:
1) Third Street between Renton and Mill Avenues will be closed 6/20/91
through 7/3/91.
2) The new detour that ties into Cedar on Third will be open on 7/3/91.
Notices have been sent to concerned parties and City engineers.
3) Pipe work along Mill and Houser is complete, and most of the fourth
lane along Main will be opened by 6/18/91. A section by Fifth Street -�
will remain closed.
4) The sidewalk in front of the building at the corner of Main and Mill will
be filled in by the end of this week.
5) The I-405 S-Curve project is on schedule for pipeline cutover on
10/1/91 and project completion by 3/92.
The following questions were asked:
1) Will parking be eliminated on the left side of Cedar during the
temporary closure of Third?
2) Will there be parking on both sides of Renton Avenue during
construction?
209
June 17, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 209
3) Will residents on Third Street have access?
David Martin stated that it would be possible to put "No Parking" signs on
the left side of Cedar. Mr. Paananen advised that Renton Avenue will be
closed at the intersection, and that residents on Third have been provided
with an access route.
Council members made the following observations:
1) Road surfaces on Seventh and Cedar need improvement.
2) The stoplight at Seventh and Cedar is very short, and flaggers need to be
aware that there is a problem for other vehicles when large trucks are
allowed to go through that intersection.
3) There is a sight-distance problem at the corner of Fourth and Cedar.
PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Public Works: in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Comprehensive Sewer hearing to consider the draft Comprehensive Sewer System Plan.
System Plan
Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, 98057, stated that she had not been
able to obtain a copy of the Comprehensive Sewer Plan to study, and
requested that Council postpone any decision on this matter until the public
has had an opportunity to review the plan.
Utility Systems Manager Richard Anderson advised that this hearing is for
the purpose of obtaining input from the public which will be taken into
account in preparing the final proposal for the Comprehensive Sewer System
Plan. He noted that following completion of the environmental process, this
matter will be brought before the Council for final adoption. He stated
further that at that time, a formal hearing will be held for further input as
part of the decision-making process.
Mr. Anderson explained that the Comprehensive Sewer System Plan addresses
the management of the City's sewer infrastructure, projected growth,
environmental needs and concerns, and concurrence with long-term land use
planning. Mr. Anderson introduced Consultant Rick Harbert, RH2
Engineering, 8383 158th Avenue NE, Redmond, who reported that the
Comprehensive Sewer Plan is a complete evaluation of the City's sanitary
sewer system, and will be used as a guide in maintaining and improving the
system over the next five years in order to provide City residents with an
effective sewer system.
It was pointed out that the Plan will be a useful tool to:
1) Establish a framework for improvements and operations that govern
sanitary sewer system developments in the City's service area.
2) Provide a guideline for improving the existing system so that each
customer receives adequate sanitary sewer service.
3) Provide a basis for accommodating changes that occur but that cannot be
forecast in the plan.
The scope of the study includes:
i
1) Analysis of the existing system.
2) Documentation of Council policies regarding growth and annexation.
3) Coordination with adjacent utility systems, and identification of potential
service area boundary adjustments.
4) Estimation of wastewater flow rates using land use designations.
5) Preparation of Capital Improvement Program and estimation of
construction costs.
6) Documentation of existing operations and maintenance programs, and
recommendations for improvements and additions.
7) Analysis of the financial performance of the sewer utility, and
�. development of a financial operating statement projection.
The Plan addressed key issues such as excessive infiltration and inflow,
extension of sewer service areas, aquifer protection and exfiltration from
sewers, sewer system deficiencies, and annexation and sewer service outside
City limits.
The following conclusions were reached:
1) Two areas are seriously deficient in capacity:
a) The East Renton area (South Highlands, Maplewood, and Heather
Downs sub-basins); and
June 17 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 210
b) The Honey Creek sub-basin.
2) Replace most of the system in Downtown Renton, North Renton and the
Highlands area.
3) Perform detailed testing to obtain information regarding the operation of
the system.
4) Modify design and construction standards for aquifer areas.
5) Set a policy for extension of sewer service:
a) Provide service to unsewered annexed areas.
b) Purchase facilities when an annexed area is provided sewer service
by another municipality.
6) The proposed rate increases are the minimum necessary to implement the
City-funded portion of the improvements.
7) The following priorities were considered for facility improvements:
a) Structural deterioration and hydraulic capacity problems;
b) Overall efficiency of an improvement; and
c) Protection of the environment and threat to public health.
Proposed sewer system improvements are as follows:
1) Adopt Comprehensive Sewer System Plan to establish policies and
planning.
2) Replace aging and substandard sewer facilities.
3) Continue development of the gravity sewer system to eliminate existing
sewage lift stations.
4) Rehabilitate or replace sewage lift stations that are considered to be
permanent sewage facilities.
5) Examine programs to reduce wastewater flow rates, infiltration, and
inflow within the sewer system.
6) Implement sewer rate increases to finance capital improvement and
maintenance costs.
Council members made the following inquiries:
1) Why was the area around the 44th interchange indicated on the map
when it is not part of the City's sewer system?
2) Are there water districts that could serve the East Renton Plateau?
3) Why do we need to raise utility rates?
Mr. Harbert stated that:
1) The NE 44th area is within the basin boundary.
2) Water District #90 is located in the East Renton area, but is not
approved to provide sewer service.
3) The City's wastewater utility budget earns only enough revenue to meet
the current annual expenses including the repayment of loans to improve
the system. The recommended rates would fund annual planned
expenses.
Everett Wilcock, 11830 164th Avenue SE, Renton, requested that copies of
the Comprehensive Sewer Plan be available to the public before the next
public hearing. He suggested that the City review the area's ability to
support sewers and the environmental impact of a sewer extension.
In response to Councilwoman Zimmerman's inquiry, City Attorney Warren
advised that the law would require that one public hearing be held prior to a
final decision on issues, such as the Comprehensive Sewer System Plan.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler noted that the Plan is still on the Utilities
Committee agenda, and that further opportunities for public input will be
provided.
Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, 98057, urged that rate increases and
future hearings be widely publicized.
Ray Griffin, 14306 144th Avenue SE, Renton, 98059, stated his opinion that
the presentation given this evening was not informative.
In response to Councilwoman Zimmerman, Administrator Guttmann stated
that State law requires that the Comprehensive Sewer System Plan be adopted
prior to adoption of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and staff has made
every effort to coordinate the two Plans. Ms. Guttmann further stated that
approval will not preclude Council action to adjust or revise the Plan in the
future.
June 17, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Paae 211
Councilwoman Zimmerman expressed concern that the sewer plan would
drive the City's land use issues. Administrator Guttmann advised that the
sewer system plan is a generalized document regarding hydraulics and the
physical system based on sensitivity to land uses, but those uses would not
govern the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Zimmerman also urged that the City
focus on sewer concerns within its boundaries, and allow the County to solve
its sewer problems without pressure by the City.
Administrator Guttmann cautioned that the East Renton Plateau drains into
the City's aquifer, and could seriously contaminate the City's water supply.
She reported that staff has presented the proposed Comprehensive Sewer
System Plan information to County officials and County Council members,
and is investigating ways that the County and City can resolve sewer issues
jointly.
In response to Councilman Stredicke's inquiry, Mr. Harbert said that the area
south of Valley Medical Center is served by a line constructed jointly by the
City and the Cascade Sewer District. He further stated that the line falls in
east/west alignment to 192nd, and has been sized in accordance with existing
land use development in the area. Mr. Harbert anticipated that the City will
serve that area to the City limits, and Soos Creek Sewer District (formerly
Cascade Sewer District) will serve the County property beyond.
Everett Wilcock, 11830 164th Avenue SE, Renton, said that County residents
are sensitive to Renton's aquifer needs, and have initiated efforts to educate
citizens on the proper use of septic tanks. He stated further that County
residents are concerned about the liveability of the community and how
funds are used. Mr. Wilcock urged that planning be slow, thorough and for
the good of the whole community.

Streets: Six-Year This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Transportation in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Improvement Program, hearing to consider the 1992-1997 Six-Year Transportation Improvement
1992-1997 Program (TIP). Transportation Systems Manager Melvin Wilson gave a brief
overview of the Plan, and noted that the 1992-1997 TIP emphasizes multi-
modal and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) activities.
Mr. Wilson reported that the proposed direction of the Plan reflects input
from several sources, such as the Council Transportation Committee, Citizens'
Advisory Transportation Committee, Planning Commission, and regional
transportation legislation (Clean Air Act, Transportation Demand Management
Law). Mr. Wilson introduced Traffic Specialist Lee Haro who explained that
i the adoption of the annual Six-Year TIP is mandated by the State Legislature,
and is submitted to the State Department of Transportation and adjacent
municipalities following annual approval by the Council. 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 ensure coordinated planning
throughout the region. In his presentation, Mr. Haro identified 54 projects
which were listed and prioritized for completion during 1992-1997. The first
ten priorities of the TIP are listed as follows:
1) Street Overlay Program
2) Oakesdale SW - SW 31st to SW 16th
j 3) North Renton Liveable Streets
4) Park Avenue North/Lake Washington Boulevard
5) South 43rd Street (LID 329)
6) Park Avenue North - Bronson Way North to North 10th Street
212
June 17 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 212
7) Mill Avenue South Rebuild, W/I-405 (WSDOT Project)
8) Main Avenue South/South 4th Street
9) Houser Way Relocated - Sunset Interchange to North 8th Street, Phase
10) Transportation Demand Management Program
The following revisions have been made in the Plan:
1) Benson Road improvements, Phase II study, was dropped because
improvements are being undertaken by private developers.
2) SW 16th - Oakesdale Avenue SW to Monster Road project was combined
with the SW 16th - West City limits to Lind Avenue SW project.
3) Oakesdale - SW 31st to SW 27th project was combined with priority #2
above; Oakesdale - SW 16th to SW 31st.
4) South Grady Way HOV project was dropped due to Metro route changes.
5) Garden Avenue North - North 6th Street to North 8th Street project was
dropped due to Council action.
Mr. Haro reported that the Citizens' Transportation Advisory Committee
recommended the following:
1) No reduction in transportation financing.
2) Extension of the business license fee scheduled to expire this year until
other local sources of funding have been identified.
3) Investigation of other sources of transportation financing.
Council members made the following inquiries:
1) What is Transportation Demand Management (TDM)?
2) What will be done on Monroe Avenue?
3) What are the plans for the area around the Longacres property purchased
by The Boeing Company?
4) What has been spent on overlay program?
5) Is the overlay program funded from one-half cent gas tax revenues?
6) How is the business license fee shown in this document?
Mr. Wilson responded as follows:
1) The object of TDM is to reduce the number of single-occupancy vehicles
by working with businesses to promote transit, ride sharing, etc.
2) Previous studies indicated the need for a connector from Maple Valley
Highway to Monroe, and staff currently is studying the impact that
connection would have on Monroe and the Highlands.
3) To serve the Boeing/longacres development, Oakesdale will connect from
SR-900 on the north, continue through the Boeing/Longacres
development, and connect to East Valley Road in Kent, and East Valley

Appeal: Renton Village Referred 4/22/91 - Planning and Development Committee Chairman
Center (Renton Village Mathews presented a report regarding the appeal filed by the Renton Village
Associates), South Grady Associates regarding the Renton Village Center/South Grady Way site plan
Way, (SA, CU-078-90) and conditional use permit Hearing Examiner's decision dated 3/5/91 which
includes the following projects:
1) 260,363 square feet office/retail sales; 10 stories/133 feet;
2) Six level parking garage; and
3) Renovation of existing retail area.
The Committee met on 5/16/91, 5/23/91, and 6/6/91 to consider the appeal
of the applicant, and recalled that this applicant came before the Council in
1988 for the purpose of building the Renton Village Theater. At that time,
the hearing examiner had required a road. The Council found that the
requirement of a road was premature. The Council required a covenant to
install a road upon the next application for site plan approval (9/19/88, SA-
103-87); and the applicant complied.
The current appeal focuses on:
A) Flooding: Storage of flood waters on
the ground floor of the
garage. Regional flooding
problems.
B) Ten-Story Building: View blockage and traffic
Flooding: The Committee found the following errors of findings and
conclusions. The Hearing Examiner concluded (Conclusion No. 28) that "the
flooding problem increases the potential for injury both to personal property
and to persons." (Conclusion No. 30) "...utilizing the lower level of the public
garage reintroduces the potential for injury." The applicant's proposal "does
nothing about the existing situation" (Conclusion No. 14). "The current level
of flooding would not be modified..." (Finding No. 33).
I
The Committee found, based on staff opinion, that the installation of a 72"
drainage pipe to redirect the flooding to the Panther Creek Wetlands will
have a favorable impact on flooding on this site. Further, the Committee
found that storage of flood waters would not unduly jeopardize the safety of
the public due to infrequency, and the proposed signage for the parking
garage.
The applicant has stipulated that if paid parking is approved by the City
Council and is instituted in the garage and parking on the ground floor is
precluded by flooding, there will be a commensurate number of stalls
provided on the top parking level of the garage made available as free
parking.
The applicant has agreed to provide a covenant to the City regarding the
resolution of the regional flooding problems. The applicant will agree to
participate in an Local Improvement District (LID) (or other funding
mechanism) or the determination of their fair share of said LID (or other
funding mechanism).
Ten-Story Building: The Committee found that the City does not currently
have a view ordinance and that the square footage of the proposed building
in the proposed configuration is less of a blight on views to the residents than
a lower and more squat building(s) for which no conditional use permit
would be required. The applicant has stipulated that they are consuming
some of their densities despite the fact that the proposed building covers less
square footage than a squat building would cover. Further, the applicant has
stipulated that there will not be development of another building of this
magnitude on this campus. The conditions of the Environmental Review
Committee (ERC) are still in place, and with those conditions being met, this
building at this location is appropriate. The Committee found that the
Hearing Examiner's conclusion that the proposed building is more appropriate
for the central business district (CBD) is in error.
216
June 17 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pane 216
The Committee found that the Hearing Examiner's Conclusion No. 2 is in
error or at least is unclear. There is no evidence in the record that the extra
three stories on the office building will generate 15 to 20 percent more
traffic to the area. It is noted that the Hearing Examiner's Conclusion No. 8
states that staff indicated the entire proposal would only add approximately 4
percent to the traffic in the area. The Committee has reconciled these two
conclusions by reasoning that the extra three stories will on add 15 to 20
percent of the 4 percent, that is less than a 1 percent increase in traffic in
the area attributable to the extra three stories.
Further, the Hearing Examiner's Conclusion No. 23 that traffic congestion
will only be exacerbated by this development is misleading. The applicant
could design a more squat building for which no conditional use permit is
required, and have the same traffic impacts. To require a lower building
based on 1 percent traffic impact, which would still exist with a more squat
building, is an error.
The Committee also discussed the following with the applicant:
1) Improvements made to Lake Avenue may be made to full City standards.
Full width of the street is permissible at this time. Also, the applicant
may install speed bumps and signing for controls. The Committee
recognizes that Lake should not be used as a thoroughfare or alternate
traffic route at this time. The applicant shall record a covenant to
dedicate a right-of-way so that the City may use Lake as a City street at
a later date.
2) The Committee has insisted that it be a fully integrated campus with
landscaping, pathways, and raised walkways. There must be easy access
throughout the site for all users.
3) The Committee wants to insure handicap-accessible and pedestrian-
friendly linkage throughout the site.
4) The applicant stipulated that its contribution to the transportation benefit
zone (TBZ) in the amount of $440,000.00 plus shall not revert back to 1
the applicant if not spent by the City within six years. The applicant
stipulated that it waives any claim for reimbursement of those funds.
5) Twenty percent of the parking in the parking garage is in reserve at the
City's request.
6) This site must be made compatible and user-friendly with the Talbot Hill
neighborhood and the Park and Ride located on Grady Way. There must
be pedestrian signalization across Grady.
7) The plan for pedestrian circulation on the site must be submitted to the
Council committee for input.
The Committee recommended that the Council approve the conditional use
permit and the site plan conditioned upon the applicant's compliance with the
ERC conditions, the non-appealed conditions of the Hearing Examiner, and
the conditions set forth in this report. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED
BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT AS
AMENDED. CARRIED.
Council members made the following inquiries:
1) Were Talbot Hill residents involved in the meetings?
2) Is the proposed drainage pipe located below the residential area?
3) Has analysis been done as to how the wetlands will change?
4) Will the developer be responsible for making the site "user friendly?"
Councilwoman Mathews responded that:
1) Residents attended the meetings and expressed their concerns regarding
view obstruction and increased traffic.
2) The drainage pipe goes underneath I-405 into the Panther Creek
Wetlands along SR-167.
3) City staff is studying the drainage basin but since plans for the area have
not been completed, the Committee report stipulates that the applicant
will covenant to participate in future drainage solutions.
4) Installation of pedestrian crossings, Park and Ride accommodations,
handicap access, etc. are conditions of approval.

- Increased Capacity, in day care facilities located in residential areas as proposed in
Home Day Care Facilities correspondence read on 6/17/91, from Keith and Marilena Jackson. Ms.
Evans opposed the proposal for the following reasons:
1) The proposal fails to consider the children involved and the established
neighbors.
3) Current zoning classifications R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4 permit residences,
and would be eligible as permitted sites.
4) A day care facility might be permitted in an apartment or condominium
which might be unacceptable to adjoining neighbors.
5) Adequate City staff are not available to police existing facilities, noise,
traffic, adequacy of lot size and topography (safety issues).
Ms. Evans stated that the authorizing agency should control such facilities,

Stream Covered by situation. Memorandum from Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator
Developer, Nautica Lynn Guttmann stated that the stream running along the north property line
Apartments, NE 48th of the Renton 82 (Nautica) project was undergrounded via 24-inch pipelines

195 foot section under the storm water detention pond at the northeast
portion of the site.

fish habitat.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, 98057, questioned the status of the
Citizen Comment: Vaupel Environmental Review Committee's (ERC) decision on the recent increase in
- Boeing Mitigation airplane production rates at the Boeing Company. She noted that the
(Everett Plant Expansion) Committee did not address impacts beyond those incurred at a production
rate of 25 aircraft per month, and that Boeing has exceeded that level.
Ms. Vaupel referenced a newspaper article in the Seattle Times (7/4/91)
regarding The Boeing Company's agreement to pay more than $50 million to
mitigate the Company's plant expansion in the City of Everett. She suggested
that the City of Renton reopen and review the mitigation process with Boeing
officials.
Councilman Tanner requested that this issue be given immediate
consideration since West Hill and North Renton residents are presently
experiencing the higher noise levels and other negative impacts of Boeing's
increased production rate.
i
Citizen Comment: Rick Stracke, Renton School District, 435 Main Avenue South, Renton,
Stracke, Renton School 98055, expressed concern that the necessity to adhere to the conditional use
District - Relocation, permit process would disallow timely relocation of portable classrooms and
Portable Classrooms lead to overcrowded school buildings and displaced students. He stated that
the time constraints are created by the following conditions:
1) Since enrollment changes dictate movement, relocation plans cannot be
formalized until April or May.
3) Student population and registration activities continue throughout the
summer months. (Temporary classrooms facilitate excess student
capacity and/or house special programs.)
4) Relocation must be scheduled when several school districts require the
same moving services.
Mr. Stracke requested that the Council consider a change in the City's
requirement of conditional uses for portable school structures. MOVED BY
MATHEWS, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL REFER THIS
MATTER TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE.
CARRIED.
Citizen Comment: In response to a question regarding 1-405 construction delays from Matt
`. Goldberg - I-405 Project, Goldberg, 2020 Grant Avenue South, #G201, Renton, 98055, Mayor Clymer
Hazard Mitigation advised that construction at the foot of Renton Hill involves three major
pipelines that supply water to the City of Seattle, present construction
activities include tunneling and installing lining for the pipelines, and
pipeline connection will be made in October, 1991. Mayor Clymer also
responded that the State is compensating the City for traffic direction
services by Renton police officers. Mr. Goldberg was invited to attend
Council meetings on the first and third Mondays of each month to hear the
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) status reports on
the I-405 S-Curve project.
July 8. 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 240
In response to a further inquiry from Mr. Goldberg, Executive Assistant Jay
Covington stated that hazard mitigation refers to efforts to clean up flood
damage, and that the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program is a disaster funding
program administered through the State.

APPROVAL OF Revisions were requested on page 253, paragraphs 5 and 6 to replace existing
' COUNCIL MINUTES paragraphs with the following: "Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler outlined the
County Executive and County Council Committee proposals to provide grant
funds for development and initial implementation of yard waste programs,
multi-family residential collection, and commercial collection. She noted that
the County proposals would exclude a procurement policy, a building code
requiring waste reductions/recycling opportunities for new construction, or a
CO"-ERECTED-REFS-7R ;TO . rate structure that encourages waste reduction/recycling. Ms. Keolker-
Wheeler further stated that the Suburban Cities Association (SCA) did not
r
support the County provisions.
MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, THAT
THE COUNCIL SUPPORT THE SCA POSITION THAT E/RR FUNDS BE

APPROVE THE MINUTES OF JULY 15, 1991, AS REVISED. CARRIED.
AUDIENCE COMMENT Versie Vaupel, P.O. Box 755, Renton, questioned whether the Utilities
Citizen Comment: Vaupel Committee would be presenting a report on the Metro-Cedar River Trunk
- Metro-Cedar River Line relocation listed on the Council agenda. Noting personal interest in the
Trunk Line Relocation matter, Mrs. Vaupel objected that the item was scheduled for consideration
on the Utilities Committee agenda without prior announcement. Chairman
Keolker-Wheeler explained that the Committee had announced that pending
referrals would be reviewed. She noted that at the request of Committee
member Tanner, the recommendation to hold a public meeting on the trunk
line relocation was deleted from the Committee report and will not be
presented. Mr. Tanner clarified his intent to postpone discussion of the
matter to allow staff to make a presentation to interested citizens and accept
comments at a future Utilities Committee meeting.
Responding to Mr. Covington's assurance that the State Environmental Policy
Act (SEPA) process will be followed for the project, Mrs. Vaupel and
Councilman Tanner indicated concern that markings and borings on South
2nd Street have already been placed for the project prior to SEPA review and
prior to an official decision on the location of the line. Upon inquiry by New
Mrs. Vaupel regarding parking barricades on South 2nd as a result of the
project, Mayor Clymer indicated that he would investigate the matter.
Following further discussion, it was moved by Edwards, seconded by
Stredicke, Council set a public meeting when information is available on the
proposed scope of work for the Metro Trunk Line relocation. Carried.
(Ruled out of order. See later action)
Mrs. Vaupel and Mr. Tanner reiterated their preference for informal
consideration of the matter by the Utilities Committee rather than by the
entire Council at a public meeting. A legal opinion was requested as to
whether the matter could be taken out of the hands of the Utilities
259
July 22, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 259
Committee for discussion at a public meeting. City Attorney Warren advised
that according to parliamentary procedure, it is necessary to discharge the
committee from further consideration of the matter if for any reason the
assembly wishes to take the question out of the hands of the committee. He
indicated that the determination turns on whether or not the motion was
practically the same question that was referred to the committee for study.
MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY MATHEWS,
COUNCIL REMOVE THE TOPIC OF THE METRO-CEDAR RIVER
TRUNK LINE RELOCATION FROM THE UTILITIES COMMITTEE
REFERRAL LIST AND REFER IT TO COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
CARRIED.
Citizen Comment: Norm Peterson, 3401 Park Avenue S., Renton, objected to any proposal for
Peterson - Multi-Family multi-family development on the Barbee Mill property on the shores of Lake
Development, Barbee Mill Washington. He indicated his opinion that the market has been inundated
Property, Lake with rental units which remain unoccupied.

CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the
listing. At Council request item 5.c, Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Alternatives public hearing cancellation request, was removed for separate
consideration.
Court Case: Harker-Lott, Summons and Complaint in an undetermined amount filed by Barbara
CRT-91-006 Harker-Lott and Richard L. Harker-Lott, 2017 South 287th Place Federal
Way, for injuries sustained in an accident at Park Avenue and North 4th
Street in Renton allegedly caused by a malfunctioning traffic signal. Refer to
City Attorney and insurance service.
Public Works: Development Services Division and Fire Department submitted emergency
Underground Storage underground tank removal program for petroleum storage tanks that do not
Tank Removal conform to the Uniform Fire Code. Refer to Public Safety Committee
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL
APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS AMENDED. CARRIED.
Separate Consideration Planning/Building/Public Works Department requested cancellation of
Item 5.c: Comprehensive Plan Land Use Alternatives public hearing scheduled for
Planning: Comprehensive 8/5/91.
Plan Land Use
Alternatives Councilmembers Zimmerman and Tanner questioned the rationale for
canceling the public hearing. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler explained that
the last report from the Council Comprehensive Plan Coordinating Committee
(CCPCC) for the Comprehensive Plan presented to Council on 4/1/91
indicated the 8/5/91 public hearing date. However, since that time, the
Council has considered the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on
two occasions. It was felt that no further action needs to be taken and that
no purpose would be served by holding the public hearing.
Councilman Tanner recalled that the Planning Commission and
Administration had determined that there would not be a preferred land use
alternative in the EIS; however, the Renton Transportation Plan makes
reference to preferred land use alternatives. He questioned why, if there is
no preferred land use alternative, a consultant contract is being executed for
a corridor level analysis of preferred land use alternatives. Following
discussion, it was MOVED BY ZIMMERMAN, SECONDED BY TANNER,
COUNCIL HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARING AS PREVIOUSLY
SCHEDULED ON 8/5/91. CARRIED.

APPROVE THE MINUTES OF AUGUST 5, 1991; AS REVISED.
CARRIED.
SPECIAL Prior to the Council meeting, Chief Alan Wallis presented the Police
PRESENTATIONS Department's highest honor, the medal of valor, to Officer Larry Strauss for
Police: Strauss - Honored exceptional bravery. Officer Strauss was shot in the line of duty at the
for Valor Renton Village Shopping Center on 3/19/91, and pursued a suspect who was
threatening the lives of others with continuing disregard for his own injuries.
Police: Volunteers Chief Wallis acknowledged volunteers Marie Larsen and Evelyn Soper for 500 NEW
Honored hours of dedicated service to the Police Department. Mayor Clymer assisted
Chief Wallis with the presentation of honorary certificates to each volunteer
in recognition of their contribution to the City of Renton.
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
Land Use Alternatives, hearing to consider the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Alternatives to be
EIS included in the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Senior Planner
Rebecca Lind reviewed the three land use alternatives developed by the
Planning Commission as a result of open houses with the public. She advised
the alternatives will be reviewed equally under the EIS process.
Alternative #1
Existing Comprehensive Plan: Concentrate future population growth in large
neighborhoods of multi-family development at moderately high densities,
while allowing continued single-family development at moderately low
densities. Multi-family housing would be located at the periphery of the
downtown area, around smaller commercial centers and along major arterials
and intersections.
Alternative #2
High-Density Center with Infill: Concentrate future population growth in
high-density, mixed-use center and encourage small increases in density in
single-family neighborhoods. Future multi-family development would occur
downtown instead of in outlying areas.
Now
Alternative #3
Dispersed High-Density Centers: Concentrate future population growth in
several smaller mixed-use centers rather than one major center. Downtown
area would remain a major commercial center but would not develop as
densely or expand to the extent it would under Alternative #2. High-density
residential development would not occur downtown. Residential growth
would replace existing single-family neighborhoods with mixed-use centers
incorporating commercial, office and multi-family development.
Ms. Lind further advised that neither the staff nor the Planning Commission
have a recommendation at this time, and that the State Environmental Policy
269
August 5. 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 269
Act (SEPA) requires circulation and review of the EIS before a final
alternative can be selected.
In response to Councilman Tanner's inquiries regarding Alternative #2, Ms.
Lind stated that the current City process would be followed for the
establishment of businesses, such as day care centers and doctor's offices; and
that various zoning categories would apply but no zoning is being proposed at
this time.
Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11 th Place, Renton, 98056, requested the public
hearing be continued until more information is available and maps are
clarified.
In response to Karen Staley's question, P. O. Box 3407, Federal Way, 98063,
about the mixed-use development allowed under Alternative #2, Ms. Lind
advised that specific zoning uses have not been determined as yet.
Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, 98055, urged that the
Planning Commission consider congested passthrough traffic conditions in
residential areas, crime issues, and prevention of littering and blight in City
neighborhoods during the Comprehensive Plan process. She also suggested
that the public hearing be continued to a later date when more information is
available.
Correspondence was read from Darrell Igelmund, President, North
Renton/Kenn ydale Neighborhood Defense Fund, 3602 Lake Washington Blvd.
North, Renton, 98056, expressing concern that if Alternative #2 is
implemented, no single-family neighborhood will exist in Renton. He said
that the City may not be analyzing the various impacts of mixed-use
residential zoning, such as traffic, parking, adequate park facilities, lack of
sense of community, and financial consideration. Mr. Igelmund suggested
that Council provide a master plan for North Renton, and objected to
inclusion of north and south Renton in the central business district.
David Halinen, attorney for Stoneway Concrete, 800 Bellevue Way NE, Suite
376, Bellevue, 98004, requested that the entire Stoneway Black River Quarry
site be included in the EIS analysis even though part of the property falls
ir.. within unincorporated King County.
Del Rowan, Boeing Property Affairs Department, Boeing Company, P. O.
Box 3707, Seattle, commended the professionalism of Renton City staff and
the Planning Commission's concern for the Renton quality of life. He stated
that Boeing will participate in the public hearings on 12/18/91 and in early
1992.
Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, 98057, agreed that more work needs
to be done on the land use alternatives. She expressed concern about process
for the coordination of the alternatives with the annexation plan, the sewer
comprehensive plan, the transportation plan, Metro, King County urban
growth, wetland ordinance, regional open space corridors, etc.; and about
Alternative #2's proposed mixed-use zoning for residential areas. She also
urged that the Council favor Alternative #1 and not consider Alternative #2.
Ms. Vaupel referenced terms of Resolution #2708 concerning preservation of
the North Renton/Kennydale neighborhood from deterioration due to traffic,
and reminded the City of its obligation to preserve the neighborhood's
residential character. The resolution resulted from a lawsuit filed by the
North Renton/Kennydale Neighborhood Defense Fund against the City of
Renton and E & H Properties (CRT-006-87), which was related to the
potential impacts of a proposed office building development on Park Avenue
North and Garden Avenue North.
Everett Wilcock, 11830 164th Avenue SE, Renton, empathized with the
difficulties of the Planning Commission and staff in formulating these
alternatives, and challenged members of the City Council to formulate a
vision and identity for Renton and a plan to fulfill these expectations.
Walt Canter, 14417 SE 169th Street, Renton, 98058, representing the
Neighbors Allied Against Annexation (N3A), said that the land use
alternatives plan appears to be introductory, and that a vision for the City of
Renton should include consideration of return on investment, obligations,
alternatives, and selection. Mr. Canter suggested that the City provide an
overlay of the zoning, traffic, and mass transit patterns; annexation specifics;
and additional detail on the alternatives to the public in order to solicit
comment and encourage participation in the planning process.
270
August 5 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 270
Dean Tibbott, 17003 NE 28th Place, Bellevue, 98008, suggested that the
planning process include careful consideration of the rapidly increasing
population and high traffic volume in the Renton Highlands area.
Dennis Lensegrav, Manager, Puget Power Company, 620 South Grady Way,
Renton, suggested that colored maps for the three alternatives be made
available to the public and businesses prior to the scoping meeting on
9/18/91, and that legends include clear definitions of the land use
designations.
Rob Hines, General Counsel, Stoneway Concrete Company, 1915 Maple
Valley Highway, Renton, asked if office buildings were included in mixed-
use zoning. Ms. Lind responded that mixed-use zoning would include
commercial and residential uses.
David Beaten, 1725 Pierce Avenue SE, Renton, requested that legend symbols
represent the same categories on all three alternative maps.
Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, 98057, suggested that the planning
process be delayed until fall population forecasts are available.
Todd Woosley, Burnstead Construction, 1215 120th Avenue NE, Bellevue,
98005, noted that the proposed alternatives cannot be fully evaluated until an
analysis has been completed and the draft EIS is published. He urged that
the Planning Commission be allowed to continue the process until adequate
information is available for final assessment of the alternatives.
John Bud Tines, 32700 Pacific Highway South, #14, Federal Way, 98003,
urged that the process be allowed to continue to its normal conclusion, and
affirmed that he is confident that the Planning Commission and City staff
will address public concerns responsibly.
Responding to Councilman Stredicke's inquiries, Ms. Lind said that
information on the alternatives will be distributed to City departments for
review in the near future. Executive Assistant Covington advised that
information regarding the impact of the alternatives on existing or proposed
policies will be distributed to Council at a later date.
Councilman Tanner commented that he was glad the public hearing had not
been canceled as previously proposed, agreed that the plan needs more work,
and requested that an additional hearing be scheduled and consistent
documentation be provided.
MOVE BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
In response to Councilwoman Zimmerman's inquiry, Mr. Covington advised
that additional information is being developed for the scoping meeting in
September to clearly define the alternatives, receive public comment, and
begin environmental review. *MOTION CARRIED.
AUDIENCE COMMENT
Citizen Comment: Evans Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11th Place, Renton, 98056, suggested that the draft
- Appeal Process appeal brochure be written in terms a layman can understand, explain the
Brochure appeal process, clearly define the filing periods, explain the expected results,
and reference the City Code.
Councilmembers Stredicke and Keolker-Wheeler welcomed Mr. Evans' offer
to format an appeal procedure for the brochure that the layman would
understand.
Citizen Comment: Webb - In response to Sanford Webb's inquiry, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton,
Appeal Process Brochure 98055, Mr. Covington explained the appeal brochure was a major project
which was not anticipated and other staff projects delayed completion of the
brochure until this time. Councilmembers advised that the document is
available for public review at the City Clerk's office.
Citizen Comment: Long - Dixon Long, 131 Garden Avenue North, Renton, 98055, expressed his
Metro-Cedar River concern about rumors that Metro is planning to install a sewer pipeline along
Trunk Line Relocation 2nd Avenue North, and that construction efforts would damage his home.
271
August 5, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 271
Correspondence was entered by Councilman Stredicke to Gregg Bush, Metro,
821 2nd Avenue, Seattle, 98104, from Planning/Building/Public Works
Administrator Lynn Guttmann stating that public concerns about the Metro
sewer line relocation center around two points:
1) Why is the sewer interceptor not being removed from Zone I of the
Aquifer rather than rerouted within it?
2) Why must the rerouting occur on North Second Avenue as opposed to
some alternate route?
The letter further suggested that community relations efforts be spearheaded
by Metro, and that sensitivity to community needs articulate alternative route
alignments investigated and criteria for selection of the preferred route. Ms.
Guttmann further recommended that provision be made for public comment
on the environmental review documents.
Responding to Councilman Tanner's inquiry, Mr. Covington advised that
Metro has not notified the City of any decision regarding a specific pipeline
route, and no environmental review process has been implemented.
Citizen Comment: Vaupel Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, 98057, stated that test borings, metal
- Metro-Cedar River tabs, and paint markings have appeared on North Second Street, but that no
Trunk Line Relocation evidence exists that any other street in Renton is being considered for the
Metro pipeline relocation.

Modification said the Parks Department is preparing information regarding Council
Chambers modification. Council President Nelson advised that this item will

Plannine & Development Referred 6/24/91 - Planning and Development Committee Chairman
Committee Mathews presented a report stating that the Committee recommended that
Plat: Preliminary, City several actions be taken in the request to: 1) permit a twelve lot subdivision,
View Estates, PP-134-90 City View Estates, at NW 2nd Place and Lind Avenue; and 2) allow roadway
improvement for NW 2nd Place to be constructed at a grade of 21 percent.
(The Renton Subdivision Ordinance requires Council approval for roadway
improvements constructed in excess of 15 percent grade.)
Actions recommended by the Committee were as follows:
1) That all improvements to the south side of NW 2nd Place be constructed
to match the existing 21 percent grade, including half-street paving,
curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and street lighting, in order to expand this
right-of-way from its current 14 +/- foot width to 23 +/- feet in width.
2) That the above-described improvements be extended from the eastern
boundary of the site (Maple Avenue, if extended) to Taylor Avenue.
This extension may be accomplished in conjunction with the latecomer's
agreement.
3) That the applicant be required to install "no parking" signs on the south
side of NW 2nd Place to facilitate unobscured access on this road.
4) That the applicant reconfigure Lind Avenue for a distance of
approximately 100 feet immediately adjacent to the site (now graded to
20 percent) to be compatible with the 10 percent grade planned for the
Lind Avenue extension into the site to facilitate safe access to the site
from Lind Avenue.
(Note: The City reserves the right to require the applicant to install
parking restriction signs along the southernmost 100-foot area of Lind
Avenue if parking in that area restricts safe access to City View Estates.)
5) That the applicant be required to install sprinklers in each home in City
View Estates, to be approved by the Fire Department. The installation
274
August 5. 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 274
of sprinklers serves as a sufficient measure to address access limitations
for fire service vehicles.
6) That the applicant provide, and obtain from subsequent purchasers, a
"hold harmless" agreement indicating that he understands that access
routes do not fully achieve standard City requirements, which, in turn,
may pose difficulties for residential and emergency vehicles access; and
that he has chosen to pursue this development nonetheless. This
agreement shall be in a form acceptable to the City Attorney and shall
be duly recorded with King County simultaneously with the recording of
the final plat.
MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CONCUR
IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.*
Councilmembers made the following inquiries:
1) Will water pressure be adequate?
2) Does the Fire Department have the authority to deny a building permit?
3) Does the City have "hold harmless" agreements with other developments?
4) Will the homeowner's insurance be affected by the potential emergency
access impairment caused by the 21 percent grade?
5) What is the City's obligation when issuing permits?
Staff responded as follows:
1) Water pressure will be sufficient to provide routine and emergency
service to the proposed development and other residences in the area.
2) The Fire Department's building division can deny a permit if it is felt
that conditions preclude adequate fire protection for the proposed
development.
3) The provision of a "hold harmless" agreement is to alert potential
purchasers and builders that grades are above the level normally
permitted by the City Code, and that a public safety access problem
exists. Several agreements exist in the City, such as in Valley properties
where the flood plan can potentially create a problem for purchasers.
4) The sprinkler system requirement will probably resolve the emergency
response issue.
5) The City can only deny development rights when City code violation or
environmental issue exists.

beginning 9/9/91. Councilman Stredicke requested that Transportation
Planning Manager David Martin be available to address S-Curve project
issues at Council meetings held on the third Monday of the month.
AWC: Growth Councilman Edwards said that the Association of Washington Cities (AWC)
Management Act Briefing will hold a meeting on 8/7/91 at the SeaTac Fire Station to brief cities on
recent amendments to the Growth Management Act that require that cities to
participate in a county-wide process culminating in the adoption of growth
management policies to be reflected in local comprehensive plans and
development regulations.
ADMINISTRATIVE Referred 6/3/91 - Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler requested investigation of
REPORT traffic congestion from the Valley Freeway to 43rd Street (6/3/91).
Streets: Traffic Control, Memorandum from Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Lynn
Valley Freeway to 43rd Guttmann outlined construction presently in progress and future work being
Street done to help relieve congestion as follows:
1) Construction on the South 43rd project began on 5/28/91.
2) High traffic volume between SR-167 and Talbot Road South is the result
accelerated growth in the South County area.
3) Construction activities should not significantly impact peak traffic since
four lanes will be open.
4) During non-peak hours, lane closures may occur to provide for utility
crossing.
5) Signals in the area will be optimized and checked periodically.
6) Construction is on schedule, and completion of the South 43rd project
should improve service levels in the corridor.
7) The 192nd Street corridor is in process, and is a part of a new principal
arterial that will run from 1-5 at the City of SeaTac through the Cities
of Kent and Renton and end in King County at 140th Avenue SE
(Benson Road) which will relieve congestion at South 43rd and South
212th Streets.
8) The SR-167/SW 43rd loop ramp will improve intersection access and
traffic operation in the interchange complex.
Citizen Comment: Referred 6/24/91 - Bruce Morgan, Government Liaison Committee, Citizens
Morgan, Citizens for Coal for Coal Creek Community Study, correspondence regarding the incorporation
Creek Community Study of Newport Hills as a City. Letter to Mr. Morgan from Mayor Clymer stated
- Newport Hills the following concerns:
Incorporation
1) Southern portion of incorporation falls within the City of Renton's
sphere of influence as defined in an interlocal agreement with the Cities
of Bellevue and Issaquah which was intended to facilitate land use
planning, minimize annexation competition between jurisdictions, and
promote phased development and orderly growth.
2) The sphere of influence boundary was determined by Renton School
District boundary and northern border of the May Creek drainage basin.
Control of storm drainage in the basin is critical to protect Renton
properties and facilities.
3) Proposed boundaries are not acceptable to the City of Renton since they
do not relate to criteria used by the Boundary Review Board.
5) Boundary south of May Creek intrudes into an area logically served by
Renton. The City plans to maintain May Creek Valley as an urban
separator and recreation area. Renton owns and maintains sewer and
water systems in the valley, and objects to the establishment of a new
jurisdiction in that area.
6) Separation of the north service area of King County Fire District #25
from the south half could impact Renton's present level of fire services
and service agreements.
7) Proposed boundary splits the May Creek surface water drainage basin.
Concern exists that the new city would be unable to assume storm
drainage utility and water quality improvement.
Mayor Clymer further recommended that the new city:
1) Provide a detailed analysis of impacts to services and facilities.
2 � .
August 5 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 276
2) Address the need to provide affordable housing or regional facilities as
required by the Growth Management Act.
3) Determine tax base to provide a level of service that will mitigate
potential impacts and ensure that services meet urban standards of
nearby jurisdictions.
Legal: Business License, Referred 7/15/91 - Councilwoman Zimmerman requested information about
Candy Sales permit issuance requirements on selling candy door-to-door. Memorandum
from Administrative Services Administrator Dan Clements stated that the City
requires a business license for temporary or portable sales which is to be
carried on the person at all times during business hours or when business is
being conducted, and displayed upon request. Mr. Clements further advised
that hours of operation or age of employees is not limited in the business
license ordinance and that non-resident businesses must obtain a license if
operating within the City.
Memorandum from Police Chief Alan Wallis stated that RCW 46.61.688
requires that all passengers in a vehicle use seat belts; however, the number
of passengers is not restricted except for the general requirement regarding
safe operation of a vehicle. Chief Wallis suggested that an officer be called
to handle situations of this nature.
Councilmembers inquiries were as follows:
1) What can be done to protect citizens from exposure to obscene language?
2) Is this IN a civil or criminal offense?
Staff recommended that citizens call 911 when public disturbances occur, and
advised that it is the police officer's responsibility to evaluate the specific
circumstance to decide what law(s) apply. Ms. Zimmerman requested that
citizens be made aware of the options available to them when disturbances
occur.

CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION. CARRIED.
SPECIAL Terry G. Paananen, Project Engineer for the I-405 S-Curve Project,
PRESENTATION Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), reported that:
WSDOT: I-405 S-Curve
Project 1) Work on the project's first pipeline cutover will begin 9/16/91.
2) The overall project will be completed in April, 1992.
3) Walls constructed along the Renton hillside will support the I-405
freeway.
4) Work on the casing installation under the freeway near 5th and Main will
continue for another two or three weeks.
5) Daily road closures will continue in the 3rd, Main, Mill, and Houser
areas for pipeline cutover redesign.
Mr. Paananen responded to previous citizen inquiries regarding the effects of
winter conditions on the Renton Hill detour that WSDOT has constructed to
accommodate the I-405 project. He reported that discussions with City
engineering, maintenance, and Fire Department staff, and WSDOT
headquarters staff have resulted in the identification of the following options
for vehicle access to Renton Hill during snow and ice conditions:
1) Major structural revision of the detour.
2) Minor structural revision, such as grooving.
3) Road monitoring and maintenance by the City and/or WSDOT.
Mr. Paananen stated that the first two options were not viable or practical,
and that the City prefers to control roadway maintenance. He advised that
the following action will be taken:
1) WSDOT will ensure that sand is kept at the construction site, and the
contractor will assist with application of the sand during snow and ice
conditions.
2) Gated access to the area at Cedar Avenue South will be kept open for
emergency response vehicles.
3) The City will monitor and maintain the road.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated that the Renton Hill detour is
hazardous, and that the proposed solutions do not adequately address resident
safety and are unacceptable.
Ruth Larson, 714 High Avenue South, Renton, expressed concern that limited
site access, dangerous grades, and back road access will increase the response
time for emergency vehicles. In response to Councilman Edward's suggestion
that Fire District #40 be alerted to the situation, Mayor Clymer said he will
ensure that a gate key is provided to District #40.
288
August 19 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 288
In response to Councilwoman Zimmerman's inquiry, Ms. Larson commented
that Renton Hill vehicle access has always been difficult during winter
months, but the access road provided wider areas for maneuvering vehicles.
She stated that the new road is narrow and steep, and that a 90-degree curve
could cause vehicles to slide into oncoming cars since the uphill side of the
road is lower than the downhill side. She also pointed out that ice on the
uphill side of the road will not thaw because the sun cannot reach it.
Transportation Planning Manager David Martin advised that ice melting
chemicals will be used as well as sand, and he assured that the City will
consider Renton Hill road maintenance a high priority during ice and snow
conditions. Mr. Paananen stated that further options will be explored during
the continuing discussions on this issue, and affirmed WSDOT's commitment
to public safety.
AUDIENCE COMMENT Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11 th Place, Renton, 98056, submitted suggested
Citizen Comment: Evans revisions to the draft appeal process brochure being reviewed by the Ways
- Appeal Process and Means Committee. He noted that the proposed format and language
Brochure attempted to clarify the information for the layman. MOVED BY
MATHEWS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL REFER
THIS ITEM TO THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE. CARRIED.
Citizen Comment: Clyde Sommerville, Northwest Seaplanes, 840 West Perimeter Road, Renton,
Sommerville - Airport suggested that the following questions be addressed in considering the Airport
Field Use Fee field use fee, and requested that the matter be held for further review.
1) What is the relationship between field use and the target of the tax?
2) Is this is a discriminatory measure?
3) What is the justification for the user fee, and how will it be used?
Mr. Sommerville commented that charter flights comprise a small percentage
of airport activity, and that there is no way to monitor or enforce collection
of the tax on incoming flights from other airfields; therefore, the full burden
of the tax would be borne by local business.
Advancement Request MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL SUSPEND
THE REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO OLD
BUSINESS, TRANSPORTATION (AVIATION) COMMITTEE REPORT.
CARRIED.
Transportation 6/3/91 - Transportation (Aviation) Committee Chairman Edwards presented a
Committee report stating that the Committee recommended approval of a field use fee as
Airport: Field Use Fee proposed by the Planning/Building/Public Works Department and the Airport
Manager. This fee would be applicable to commercial for-hire arrivals based
on maximum certified gross landing weight, and will impose a minimum
charge of $3.50. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY MATHEWS,
COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER TO THE WAYS AND MEANS
COMMITTEE, AND THAT THE ISSUE OF ENFORCEMENT OF THE
FIELD USE FEE BE REVIEWED BY THE COMMITTEE.*
Councilmembers made the following comments:
1) The fees apply to all charter flights since the seaplane ramp is considered
part of the Airport.
2) The Airport Director will notify field users about the fee, the operators
will report the number of flights subject to the fee, and the honor
system will prevail unless violations occur.
3) The revenue from the field use fees is estimated to be approximately
$3,000 per year which will be used for Airport improvements and
maintenance.
4) Since the City does not charge for public use of the field, the fee will
apply to commercial use of the Airport.
*MOTION CARRIED.
Citizen Comment: 1c&1.- Robert McBeth, King County District Court Judge, 1906 Rolling Hills
Regional Justice Center Avenue SE, Renton, stated that a South County regional justice center is a
King County: Regional necessity, and would enhance legal services in South King County. He
Justice Center reported that an officer can be out of service for at least two hours following
an arrest in order to transport and book a suspect in Seattle, and noted that a
locally centered facility would cut the use of the officer's time to a
minimum.
289
August 19, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 289
Judge McBeth stated further that combining the superior and district courts
would improve efficiency and provide judges with an opportunity to assist
each other with case loads.
Councilwoman Zimmerman advised that the Public Safety Committee report
on the justice center will be presented later this evening. (See later action.)
Councilman Tanner stated his opinion that the justice center would not be
good for Renton's image, and noted that the City already has enough regional
facilities within its boundaries.
Citizen Comment: Webb - Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, 98055, commented that
Regional Justice Center opposition to the justice center is sincere, and he objected to any effort to
site a jail facility in the Highlands.
Citizen Comment: Vaupel Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, 98057, suggested that a time be set
- Public Access to aside prior to Council meetings for citizens to access Councilmembers, and
Council Members that this schedule be provided to the public.

Sites proposed sites for the regional justice center in the vicinity of NE 3rd Street

Councilmembers Zimmerman and Tanner stated that the Committee is not

Transportation Referred 8/5/91 - Transportation (Aviation) Committee Chairman Edwards
Committee presented a report stating that the Committee recommended concurrence with

Parking Requirements, ordinance. The revision reduces the number of parking spaces required of
Parking & Loading new office development. The Committee also concurs with the staff
Ordinance recommendation that the definition of "gross floor area" in the parking and
loading ordinance be revised to include rather than exclude accessary areas
such as rest rooms, wall thickness, corridors, lobbies, and mechanical rooms.
The ordinance will be held in committee until the State Environmental Policy
Act (SEPA) process is completed. The Committee will then determine
whether to hold a public hearing on the ordinance. The Committee requested

August 19, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 292
that the Administration address the effect of the recommended changes on
the following items during the environmental review process:
1) Whether the percentage of compact spaces needs to be revised.
2) Whether a reduced office parking requirement will allow for a significant
increase in building size and a consequent increase in traffic.
3) Whether the current exemption of downtown from all parking and
loading ordinance requirements needs to be revised.

IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.*
Councilmembers made the following comments:
1) What revisions are being made?
2) Elimination of parking requirements would encourage people to use
private transportation.
3) Is Council concurring in the proposed revisions?
Mr. Edwards stated that the SEPA process would be completed before
considering further revisions. The staff has recommended changes in the
minimum and maximum parking for offices and commercial space from four
to two parking spaces per 1,000 gross square feet, and this ordinance is a
transportation demand management effort. Councilwoman Zimmerman noted
that the Committee considered eliminating parking requirements, but was
concerned that parking would filter into residential areas. Councilwoman
Mathews advised that the ordinance will remain in Committee until
completion of the SEPA process, at which time a public hearing will be held.

ADMINISTRATIVE Referred 8/19/91 - Councilman Edwards suggested that Fire District #40 be
REPORT alerted to the emergency access situation on Renton Hill. Mayor Clymer read
WSDOT: I-405 S-Curve correspondence from Fire Chief A. Lee Wheeler regarding emergency access
Project, Renton Hill to Renton Hill. Chief Wheeler stated that a locking device has been installed
Access Road on the gates at Beacon Avenue South in the vicinity of Philip Arnold Park,
and that the Fire and Public Works Departments are working on the access
gates located on Grant Avenue South in the vicinity of Woodcliffe
Apartments.
Chief Wheeler reported that the City has a mutual response agreement with
King County Fire District #40, and that station has been instructed to access
Renton Hill from either of the Grant or Beacon locations. In addition, all
Fire Department apparatus is equipped with bolt cutters to afford rapid
access. Chief Wheeler further stated that he is confident that response time
will not be jeopardized if access to this area is required from the backside of
Renton Hill.
CAG: 90-109, Referred 7/15/91 - Request from Councilman Stredicke for written report
Revitalization of regarding proposed plans to remove the non-working ornamental and
Downtown Renton, Street pedestrian light fixtures from downtown Renton. Memorandum from
Lighting Administrator Guttmann reported that the Downtown Renton Association
(DRA) has expressed interest in removal of the low-level pedestrian,
incandescent lights in the downtown area. Ms. Guttmann stated that a
company has agreed to remove the lights at no cost, and will be permitted to
keep the short mounting poles for salvage value. She said that arrangements
are also being made to remove incandescent low-level lights from the high
street light standards.
Ms. Guttmann noted that a lighting study recommended that the City keep
the foundations of the lights as a base for mounting new lights. She
submitted pictures of a prototype model of the base to be used, and estimated
that 90 units will be needed. The $80 cost for each unit will be funded
through the 1991 Budget Central Business District Streetscape Capital
Improvement Project.
Parks: Coulon Park, Referred 8/12/91 - Request regarding funding sources for Coulon Beach
Assessment of Non- Park and restrictions on levying fees for non-resident park use.
Residents Memorandum from Parks Director Sam Chastain stated that funding for
Coulon Park has come from local, County, State, and Federal sources which
have been used in the acquisition and development phases. In accepting these
funds, the City contractually obligated itself to terms controlling the use of
the property.
Mr. Chastain advised that the City can levy non-resident fees as long as the
fees are reasonable and are utilized to maintain or develop the park. The
controlling language taken from the City/HUD contract states:
"The public body shall not restrict the use of the land as developed in the
basis of residence, except that a reasonable fee charged non-residents
over and above any fee that may be charged residents shall not be
interpreted as a restriction of the use of such land."

August 26, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pau 303
Mr. Chastain noted that agreements with other contributing sources have
similar language. Fees are currently charged at the park for boat launching,
parking, and moorage.
The Park Board has reviewed non-resident park fees to offset park operation
costs but not as a deterrent to non-resident use. The City has also addressed
revenue enhancement through such facilities as Ivars Restaurant, boat rentals,
and picnic shelter rentals.

SPECIAL Terry G. Paananen, Project Engineer for the I-405 S-Curve Project,
PRESENTATION Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), reported that:
WSDOT: I-405 S-Curve
Project 1) Pipeline cutover scheduled for 10/1/91 may be delayed for two weeks

Mr. Paananen advised that emergency access to Renton Hill during the winter
months will be addressed through consistent monitoring. The City will
expedite repair and maintenance of the access road as needed.
Metro: Regional Transit King County Councilman Bruce Laing, representing the Metro Transit
Project Committee and Planning Subcommittee, presented a status report on planning
activities for the Regional Transit Project. He introduced Metro
representatives Art Skolnik, South Corridor Metro Manager; and Chris
Deffebach, Capital Projects Coordinator.
Mr. Laing reported that the State Legislature adopted the High Capacity
Transit Act (HB 1825) which has enabled transit agencies within the counties
of Pierce, King, and Snohomish to form a Joint Regional Policy Committee.
The charge of the Committee is to review and approve transit proposals, and
ensure the development of an integrated plan applicable to all segments of the
region. Membership of the Committee includes 20 representatives from the
transit agencies and the Secretary of the Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT).
Mr. Laing advised that the objective of the planning process is to provide
easy access to regional centers, improve air quality, limit urban sprawl, and
reduce energy consumption. Some of the alternatives being considered are:
1) Expanded bus service;
2) Expanded High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV) lanes;
3) Construction of a rapid transit system;
4) Transit-friendly centers which are accessible and convenient to area
activities; and
5) Employee incentives that encourage system utilization.
908
September 9 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 308
Mr. Laing concluded that the major issues to be addressed in the planning
process are:
1) Specific alignment of the rapid transit system;
2) Rapid transit mode;
3) Project phasing priorities, financing, and governance; and
4) Land use policies;
Councilmembers requested that:
1) The Committee recognize the severe traffic problems in Renton which
are generated by The Boeing Company plant, and consider a regional
system that includes that area.
2) Metro ensure that existing Renton housing is not eliminated as a result of
program implementation.
Councilmembers made the following inquiries:
1) Has the Committee considered developing routes parallel to I-405 to
eliminate the necessity for north/south traffic to pass through Renton?
2) How can Renton exercise influence on the issues of route alignment,
rapid transit systems, and project phasing?
Metro representative Chris Deffebach said that Metro is reviewing HOV
access and expansion of HOV lanes, but is not considering new roads. Mr.
Laing pointed out that the terrain east of 1-405 is a barrier to constructing
alternative routes. He stated further that the program will not eliminate
freeway congestion, but will provide citizens with alternative transportation
choices. Mr. Laing said that any comments regarding the program should be
directed to Metro.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published

patch property.
2) The City has offered an opportunity for Renton Vocational/Technical
Institute (RVTI) students to participate in the Housing Assistance
Program to obtain on-the-job experience. The City coordinates the
projects between the homeowner and the school, and purchases the
required materials.

that the program may be adopted prior to the determination of the final pass-
through amount.
The Advisory Committee also made recommendations for the allocation of
Renton general funds for human services for 1992. These recommendations
are included in the proposed Housing and Human Services 1992 programs,
and will be reviewed as part of the City's budget process. Mr. Tanner

CAG: 90-075, Councilwoman Mathews entered a salary survey rebuttal from City Street
Compensation & Division personnel regarding the Compensation and Classification study
Classification Study, which has been performed by Ewing & Company consultants. The rebuttal
Ewing included a statistical comparison from seven of the thirteen local cities used
in the Ewing study (Auburn, Edmonds, Kent, Kirkland, Lynnwood,
Puyallup, and Redmond), and requested that the comparison information be
considered before implementation of the study. Ms. Mathews referred the
information to the Administration.
OLD BUSINESS Referred 8/19/91 - Correspondence was read from Councilwoman Mathews
Committee of the Whole to Councilwoman Doris Cooper, City of Kirkland, 123 Fifth Avenue,
SCA: Bylaws & Staffing Kirkland, 98033-6189, which was a result of Committee of the Whole action
Proposal on 8/26/91 concerning review of the proposed bylaws and staffing for the

THE SUBURBAN CITIES ASSOCIATION (SCA) BYLAWS AND WRITTEN
COMMENTS ON THE STAFFING PROPOSAL. CARRIED.
Planning: Building Referred 6/10/91 - Planning and Development Committee Chairman
Moratorium, R-3/R-4 Mathews reported that the Committee has deferred its report on the R-3/R-4
Development building moratorium, pending further review with Planning Director Kay
Shoudy and the Planning Commission.
Transportation Referred 5/6/91 - Transportation (Aviation) Committee Chairman Edwards
Committee presented a report stating that a number of homeowners who must use the
Public Works: BNR Burlington Northern Railroad crossing at North 37th Street (3600-3800 block,
Private Crossing, Lake Lake Washington Boulevard North) have approached the City of Renton
Washington Blvd. North requesting that the crossing be made a public crossing. Burlington Northern
has required that the homeowners who cross at North 37th obtain a permit
from Burlington Northern and provide a hold harmless to the railroad and
liability insurance. The insurance has apparently been difficult, if not
impossible, to obtain at a reasonable price.
The City staff had initially recommended against declaring this crossing a
public crossing on the basis that this was a private dispute between the
railroad and the homeowners, and that making this a public crossing would
place the City in a position of having greater liability exposure for any
accidents that might occur at the crossing. On the other hand, it was pointed
out that the use of the crossing had become so heavy and it extended over
such a period of time that the crossing may have achieved the status of
quasi-public crossing. In addition, the City has need to traverse the crossing
to service a sewer line which provides sewer service to the residents of this
area and to access Kennydale Beach Park with park maintenance vehicles.
It was noted that the road which serves the individual residences is not built
to City standards, nor is the road surface westward of the railroad crossing
built to City standards. If the City was going to declare this a public
crossing, the street end would have to be improved to adequate public
standards.
The Committee therefore recommended to the Council that it indicate its
initial approval to petition the Utilities and Transportation Commission to
declare this crossing a public crossing contingent, however, on the
homeowners to be served by the public crossing presenting the City with a
Local Improvement District (LID) petition to improve the street end from the
railroad crossing to the west to adequate City standards. The formation of
the LID presumes equitable participation by Burlington Northern and the
City of Renton along with the homeowners, and that the improvements
financed by the LID be the most reasonable cost for those improvements.
Once the LID has been formed by City Council ordinance, the City would
311
September 9, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 311
formally petition the Utilities and Transportation Commission to declare the
crossing a public crossing. The Planning/Building/Public Works Department
is requested to meet with the citizens, assist them in preparing the LID
petition, and complete the necessary preparatory work to provide the
homeowners and the City Council with engineering cost estimates for the
LID.

CAG: 91-100, TIB Referred 8/19/91 - Transportation (Aviation) Committee Chairman Edwards
Agreement, Oakesdale presented a report stating that the Committee recommended concurrence with
Avenue SW Project, SW the staff recommendation for approval of the consultant agreement with
16th to SW 31st, HNTB Howard Needles Tammen & Bergendoff (HNTB) in the amount of $780,000.
The agreement will cover the preliminary design phase for the construction
of Oakesdale Avenue SW from SW 16th Street to SW 31st Street. This portion
of Oakesdale Avenue SW will be developed in connection with development
of Longacres by The Boeing Company.
The Committee further recommended that the Mayor and City Clerk be
authorized to execute the consultant agreement. MOVED BY EDWARDS,

COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Public Works: E&H Transportation (Aviation) Committee Chairman Edwards presented a report
Properties Transportation stating that the Committee was asked to review the bonds posted by E & H
Improvement Bond, for traffic mitigation. In order to completely review this topic, the
R-016-87 Committee also found it necessary to review the neighborhood traffic
mitigation to be installed by E & H.
Mr. Edwards reported that it was determined by the Committee that the
neighborhood mitigation required of E & H has not been completed in its
entirety. The cost to complete the neighborhood mitigation is estimated at
$42,500.00. It was recommended that the Council require a Letter of Credit
(LOC) in the amount of one and one-half times this amount to secure the
performance of E & H. If this mitigation is not completed by 6/93, the
Administration is authorized to exercise the bond for the purpose of
completion.
The Committee was asked to review the $1.1 million bond posted by E & H
for general traffic mitigation in the North Renton area. There are six
possible items which could be credited against that bond at the present time.
The Transportation Committee recommended that the Council accept the
recommendation of the Transportation Division which shows a net amount
owing of $44,296.00 due to unfunded portions of the North Renton
Transportation Study.
E & H has posted a $807,000.00 LOC to secure the performance of realigning
Garden Avenue, should it be required to do so. Because of the City Council
adoption of the North Renton Transportation Plan and PACCAR'S current
construction proposal, it appears very unlikely that Garden Avenue will be
realigned.
The Transportation Committee therefore recommended that the City Council
authorize release of the $807,000.00 LOC, if and when the City receives the
LOC in the amount of $63,750.00 to secure completion of the neighborhood
traffic mitigation, as well as a LOC or other acceptable security device in the
amount of $44,296.00 for unfunded portions of the North Renton
Transportation Study.
Two uncompleted items are the responsibility of the City of Renton. The
City committed to establish a truck route ordinance and committed the Parks
Department to install neighborhood signs and landscaped entries (not at City
expense). The Committee recommended a deadline of no later than 6/93 for
these items.

Public Safety Committee Referred 8/26/91 - Public Safety Committee Chairman Zimmerman presented
King County: Regional a report stating that the Committee met on 9/5/91 to discuss two potential
Justice Center sites for the proposed regional justice center.
Site #63 - 1500 Houser Way South (60 acres)
Site #66 - Monster Road SW & Oakesdale Avenue SW (7.2 acres) "40
Ms. Zimmerman also reported that it was the unanimous recommendation of
the Committee that Site #66 remain open for consideration on the condition
that if this site is seriously considered by the County, it should be done in
conjunction with the City of Tukwila and with consideration of the wetlands
that are located on that site.
The Committee further recommended that Council adopt a position opposing
Site #63 due to proximity of residential areas, difficulties in transportation
access, and proximity to future recreational trail systems. Finally, the
Committee recommended that Council take a position supportive of a regional
justice center in South King County.

In response to Councilman Edwards inquiry, Ms. Zimmerman stated that the
comment regarding proximity to future recreational facilities was prompted

noted that prisoners are released at all hours of the day and night.

rainfall period, ponding occurred at this intersection. Three things
caused the problem:
313
September 9. 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 313
a) Construction of a new church east of Anacortes Avenue NE under
County jurisdiction resulted in an on-site drainage problem. The
water flowed across the neighbor's property which was within
Renton City limits and then into the 10th and Anacortes
intersection.
b) The receiving drainage system was under capacity, and the County
failed to consider this in the design of drainage facilities.
c) Storm lines between NE 10th Street and Sunset Avenue NE
contributed to the ponding, and were repaired by City staff in
spring, 1990.
Mayor Clymer advised that no ponding has occurred since the 1989/1990
problems were addressed.
Police: State Department Referred 8/19/91 - Request for information on scope of State authority to
of Corrections, Work site work release facilities. Memorandum from Chief Alan L. Wallis, Police
Release Facility Department, reported that Bob Moore, Assistant Director, Northwest area,
State Department of Corrections, advised that the Department of Corrections
will place newspaper ads to solicit suggestions for potential sites, potential
locations will be selected, and a search committee will review the selections.
Mr. Moore further stated that the Department is not exempt from local land
use rules, and must comply with all requirements.
Fire: I-405 S-Curve Referred 8/19/91 - Emergency access to Renton Hill during winter months.
Project, Renton Hill Memorandum from Chief A. Lee Wheeler, Fire Department, reported that all
Emergency Access emergency access points for Renton Hill can be reached by the use of a bolt
cutter, and that Chief Gibbs, King County Fire District #40, is aware of the
emergency access situation.
Fire: City Aid Car Referred 8/26/91 - Councilman Stredicke requested a status report on aid car
Service service in the City. Memorandum from Chief Wheeler stated that a back-up
aid unit car was in reserve at Station #13, and was put into service as Aid
Car #11 when a recent accident occurred.
AUDIENCE COMMENT W. F. Lynn, 3625 Lake Washington Boulevard North, Renton, opposed the
Public Works: BNR proposed LID approach to modifying the crossing in the 3600-3800 block of
Private Crossing, Lake Lake Washington Boulevard North for the following reasons:
Washington Blvd. North
1) This action is not responsive to the original request (F.W. Kendrick on
4/22/91) to declare the existing crossing public in order to relieve
residents of requirements for permits and liability insurance imposed by
Burlington Northern Railroad (BNR).
2) The LID would be appropriate if residents were petitioning to annex an
area to the City which did not meet City Code requirements.
3) This crossing has been used as a crossing for public and private vehicles
for many years.
4) The addition of the proposed turn-around on the west side of the
crossing will make access more difficult for the properties closest to the
crossing.
Mr. Lynn requested that the City take action to designate the crossing
"public."

Waste Management Hazardous Waste Management Committee has requested input from suburban
jurisdictions regarding the expansion of hazardous wastemobile services, and
requested Councilmembers give their comments on this issue to her by
9/24/91.
ADMINISTRATIVE Referred 8/12/91 - Request for review of seaplane ramp congestion at the
REPORT Renton Airport (8/12/91). Memorandum from Planning/Building/Public
Airport: Seaplane Ramp Works Administrator Lynn Guttmann reported that seaplane traffic
Congestion approaching the water runway down the west channel from the north is
diverted over West Hill when the north wind reaches a speed of 7-8 knots.
She said that seaplanes make a low approach to the runway and land in the
water off the north end of the Airport. She stated further that the normal
traffic pattern for wheeled aircraft under the same conditions would be to
the east of the airport, and that the aircraft would proceed to the south, make
a right turn to the runway, and land.
I
Ms. Guttmann noted that the City could request that the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) establish approach procedures which divert seaplanes
from overflying the City's West Hill. She advised that new procedures might
be established as requested or modified, but that staff recommended that no
request for change be pursued since the above-mentioned traffic pattern is
devised for safety and is seasonal.
Fire: Water Pressure & Referred 8/19/91 - Request for information on water pressure and fire flow
I� Fire Flow Requirements requirements in the City water supply system. Memorandum from
Administrator Guttman reported that "pressure zones" in the City water
supply are specific areas of water service. She made the following comments:
1) The 565 or 590 pressure zone refers to the static pressure provided by
the reservoir in that part of the system.
319
Sevtember 16, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 319
2) The water pressure at a specific residence may be calculated by
subtracting the residence elevation from the service area elevation and
dividing by 2.31 to reach static pressure in pounds per square inch.
3) The static pressure has no particular significance and does not represent
the real pressure.
4) The real pressure is lower because of friction and other flow restrictions
between the reservoir and the residence.
Ms. Guttmann advised that due to Renton's unique topography, the City
water system is divided into 12 different pressure zones for the purpose of
providing reasonable pressures in the distribution system. She stated further
that these zones are inter-tied by pumps and pressure-reducing valves to
create a system that ensures that no part of the City would be without water
if a particular reservoir, water supply well, or transmission main were out of
service for any reason.
Streets: Road Conditions Referred 8/26/91 - Request for investigation of road conditions at Blaine
- Blaine Avenue at Mt. Avenue near Mount Olivet Cemetery, and Third Street NW between Rainier
Olivet Cemetery; 3rd and Taylor Avenues (8/26/91). Memorandum from Administrator Guttmann
Street NW between stated that:
Rainier & Taylor
1) NW Third Street between Rainier Avenue North and Taylor Avenue NW:
A sewer manhole had sunk approximately two inches below the
pavement level, and the sewer maintenance crew raised it on 8/27/91.
2) Blaine Avenue NE at Mount Olivet landfill: Staff advised that the City
has no legal grounds on which to require the landfill owners to repair the
street that was damaged when the concrete retaining wall on the property
was built since this is private property and the street was not in good
condition. Blaine Avenue NE is a short section of street which serves
three houses and the graveyard. During the recent street condition
survey, this segment of Blaine Avenue NE was rated one of the three
worst streets in Renton, and should be considered as a project on the
1992 street rehabilitation program.

AUDIENCE COMMENT June Huson, 11030 South 76th Street, Renton, commented that a landslide
Citizen Comment: Huson above her property appears to have been generated from construction on the
- Coventry, Renton 91, parking lot of the Nautica apartment complex. She also stated that developers
Renton 81, Nautica of the complex have removed natural vegetation to the north of her property
Apartments which has eliminated a natural barrier to the wind.
Ms. Huson requested that the developer be required to construct a barrier
which would screen her property from the parking area of the complex to
reduce noise and emissions, and that the developer consult with her regarding
landscaping on the north side of the apartment site adjacent to her property
so that appropriate plants can be chosen to provide privacy and a screen from
the north wind.
Councilmembers made the following inquiries:
1) Was screening or fencing a requirement set forth by the Hearing
Examiner's report?
2) Can the conditions set forth by the Hearing Examiner be changed?
3) Has the developer violated the City's Tree Ordinance?
Ms. Huson advised that fencing has been installed by the developer;
however, with the removal of the trees to the north, the fence does not stop
the prevailing north wind or the constant emissions and noise from the
parking area. City Attorney Lawrence Warren stated that no change can be
made to the conditions set forth in the Hearing Examiners report. Mayor
Clymer said that he would obtain a staff report on whether the removal of
the trees on the site constitute a violation of the Tree Ordinance.

p 8 Y p
for the project (Item 3 replacement of
plywood roofpanels; and Item 4 rain
water leaders) beingentered with the same figure for both total and unit

discrepancy in the bid proposal should be waived as a minor irregularity, and
the contract awarded to the low bidder on the condition that he fully accept
the City's interpretation of the bid. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED

CARRIED.
Citizen Comment: Egan - Referred 7/15/91 - In response to Councilman Stredicke's inquiry, Ms.
Speed Limit Reduction, Mathews advised that an ordinance is required to change the speed limit on
Jones Avenue NE Jones Avenue. She said that the City Attorney will prepare a draft ordinance
which will be reviewed at the next Transportation Committee meeting.
WSDOT: I-405 Project Councilman Stredicke referenced a memorandum from Planning/Building/
Noise Variance Request Public Works Administrator Lynn Guttmann advising that the Washington
State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) had requested a noise variance
for the I-405 project, and that the Board of Public Works is holding a public
meeting on this matter on 10/2/91.
In response to Mr. Stredicke's inquiry regarding the scheduling of a public
meeting prior to notifying Council of the WSDOT's request, Transportation
Planning Manager David Martin advised that he had researched the procedure
September 23. 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 325
used in a previous request for a noise variance made by the State. He said
the previous request had been referred to the Board of Public Works for
decision with the stipulation that the process would include right of appeal to
the Council. Acting upon his interpretation of that procedure, Mr. Martin
had scheduled the public meeting.
Following discussion, it was MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, THAT THE PUBLIC MEETING
SCHEDULED BY THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS FOR 10/2/91 BE
HELD IN ABEYANCE UNTIL THE COUNCIL IS APPRISED OF ITS
OPTIONS REGARDING WSDOT'S REQUEST FOR VARIANCE TO THE
CITY'S NOISE ORDINANCE. CARRIED.
WSDOT: I-405 S-Curve Councilman Stredicke referenced a memorandum from Administrator
Project, Renton Hill Guttmann regarding access to Renton Hill during snow and ice conditions,
Access Road and requested clarification of the City's planned approach for maintaining the
access road. Mr. Martin stated that the City Maintenance Division will take
any action necessary for maintenance of the road during the winter months.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler noted that the width of South Third Street
has been reduced from 30 feet to 26 feet creating a hazardous condition
which will impair vehicle maneuverability on the access road. She expressed
concern regarding Ms. Guttmann's statement in the memorandum that it is
possible, though not likely, that ice conditions could pose a danger to the
safety of maintenance crews and prevent maintenance of the front of Renton
Hill which would prevent Cedar and Mill residents from leaving the hill.
Councilmembers made the following inquiries:
1) Have emergency procedures been established?
2) Could the slope on the access road be changed?
2) Can the City's liability be minimized?
Mayor Clymer reported that the Fire Department has established emergency
measures to be implemented during snow and ice conditions. Mr. Martin
advised that in order to lessen the slope, the road would have to be
lengthened but the freeway prevents such road revision. He said the bridge
has less incline than the road because it will probably have more ice in the
winter, and therefore the slope from the bridge to the top of the hill has
been increased. Mr. Martin also advised that while construction on the I-405
project is in progress, the State is responsible for any liability arising on the
six streets in the Renton Hill area.
MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, THAT
THE ADMINISTRATION WRITE A LETTER TO THE WASHINGTON
STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (WSDOT) OUTLINING
CONCERNS REGARDING THE I-405 PROJECT, THE RENTON HILL
ACCESS ROAD DESIGN, AND THE ISSUE OF LIABILITY
RESPONSIBILITY UNDER SNOW CONDITIONS. CARRIED.
Public Works: Aquifer Councilman Stredicke pointed out that King County is allowing the
Protection continuation of construction on the Cedar River Bluff development without
sewer requirements which will complicate septic tank problems existing in the
area and could potentially endanger Renton's sole-source aquifer. He
suggested that the City of Renton require that King County discontinue
construction on this project or at least request that the plat be dry-lined so
that sewers can be connected when available.
Mr. Stredicke opposed construction of an East Renton sewer interceptor on
the basis that the City should not build an interceptor outside of the City
limits or plan areas by utilities.
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
COUNCIL REFER THE CEDAR RIVER BLUFF PRELIMINARY PLAT
AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT OUTSIDE THE CITY THAT MIGHT

CONCERNS.*

Ser)tember 23, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 326
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler clarified that in light of recent information
that the City has provided to the County regarding the aquifer, the motion
would provide an opportunity to present the County with an example of a
project that threatens to pollute Renton's sole-source aquifer. *MOTION
CARRIED.
Councilman Stredicke commended the water utility staff for providing KING
TV video tapes to Councilmembers regarding safe drinking water and water
scarcity. He also encouraged the City to consider implementing a water
curtailment program to preserve its water supply.
Councilman Tanner noted that the City does not have a water shortage
problem, and that City water use does not measurably lower the level of the
Cedar River even under maximum pumping conditions. He urged that the
Administration not consider water stringent conservation measures at this
time, since unused water would simply flow into Lake Washington.
Utilities Committee Referred 9/16/91 - Utilities Committee Chairman Keolker-Wheeler presented
CAG: 88-082, a report stating that the Committee recommended concurrence in the
Comprehensive Water Planning/Building/Public Works Department's recommendation to accept the
System Plan, RH2 Water Resource Planning Contract (CAG-082-88, Addendum 2 to Water
Engineering (Adden. #2) System Comprehensive Plan) with RH2 Engineering in the amount of $30,319
(Phase 1).
The results of this study will be included as an addendum to the
Comprehensive Water System Plan. The water utility needs information on
water supply options and policies to make decisions on future water resource
planning and Capital Improvement Project (CIP) development. The
Committee further recommended that the Mayor and City Clerk be
authorized to execute the contract document.
MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL
CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Public Safety Committee Referred 9/9/91 - Public Safety Committee Chairman Zimmerman presented
Police: Statewide a report stating that the Committee met on 9/19/91 to discuss the request for
Enhanced 911 Service, support of Referendum 42, providing Statewide Enhanced 911 service. The
Referendum 42 Committee recommended that Council support this issue with referral to Ways
and Means Committee for a resolution. MOVED BY ZIMMERMAN,
SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE
REPORT.*
In response to Councilman Edwards' inquiry, Ms. Zimmerman advised that
Referendum 42 would provide enhanced 911 service statewide to rural as well
as metropolitan areas, and that the referendum would be financed by a tax on
telephone service not to exceed 20 cents per month. Councilman Edwards
opposed the tax on the basis that King County already has 911 service and
that the additional tax money would be diverted to counties that had not
voted for the provision of this service to residents. Councilman Tanner noted
that the tax would not affect the maximum 50 cent tax level designated for
this purpose in King County, and supported the provision of enhanced 911
service to areas that do not have enough tax base to provide this important
service to residents. *MOTION CARRIED.
ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
Ways & Means Ways and Means Committee Chairman Stredicke presented a report
Committee recommending approval of payment claims checks #82985 through 83309 and

Police: Blood Alcohol Councilman Stredicke commended the City of Federal Way for establishing an
Test Levels ordinance that lowers the blood alcohol test level from 1.0 to .8 for driving
i under the influence of alcohol. Mr. Stredicke suggested that the City
Attorney draft a similar ordinance for Renton, and that the Council request
that the Administration draft letters to the State Legislature and the Governor
supporting the implementation of the .8 test level throughout the State.
Councilwoman Mathews pointed out that litigation is pending on the Federal
Way ordinance and recommended that the letters be sent to State officials but
that an ordinance not be considered until the courts have ruled on this issue.

SPECIAL Terry Paananen, Project Engineer for the I-405 Project, Washington State
PRESENTATION Department of Transportation (WSDOT), reported that:
WSDOT: I-405 S-Curve
Project 1) Work on the pipeline casing at Fifth and Main has been delayed, and will
be completed in two to three weeks.
2) Construction of the supporting walls for the freeway continues.
3) Negotiations with the Seattle Water Department will be completed soon.
4) Pipeline cutover pre-testing has been completed.
5) Draining of the first pipeline to be cutover will begin within the next
few days.
Correspondence was read from Council President Nelson to Ronald Q.
Anderson, P.E., WSDOT District One Administrator, 15325 SE 30th Place,
Bellevue, 98007, stating that the City Council has repeatedly expressed
concern for the safety of motorists using the detour constructed by WSDOT
on half of the ultimate Renton Avenue Bridge. Ms. Nelson further stated
that the Council disagreed with Project Engineer Paananen's claims that
routine winter maintenance carried out by City forces will adequately address
these safety issues.
333
October 7, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 333
The letter noted that the detour is more hazardous than the previous access to
the area, particularly during snow and ice conditions; and called upon the
State to acknowledge its full liability for possible accidents caused by the
design and construction of this detour.
Ruth Larson, 714 High Avenue South, Renton, referenced the Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for the project which stated that WSDOT had agreed
to maintain access to Renton Hill and other areas of the project throughout
construction for emergency traffic, normal traffic, and pedestrians.
Ms. Larson made the following comments:
i
1) Will the State reimburse the City for maintenance of the Renton Hill
detour during the winter months?
2) The City Code requires that residential streets be 40 feet wide, and the
Renton Hill access road is 26 feet wide.
3) The State may be in violation of the Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for the project and the City Code.
4) Potholes are not being repaired and runoff from water pipes has caused
problems on Mill Avenue.
5) Completion of the Main and Fifth project was projected for the end of
August, 1991, but the project has not been completed.
6) If safe access is not provided as promised, residents will seek legal action.
Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, 98055, suggested that the
project contractor fill potholes on Friday evening instead of Monday morning
to avoid inconveniencing motorists over the weekend.
In response to Ann Grinolds' inquiry, P. O. Box 1662, Renton, Mr. Paananen
said that construction work on the third pipeline cutover which involves
Cedar Avenue should be completed by 12/20/91.
Mr. Paananen stated that exceptionally hard sandstone has been encountered
at Main and Fifth, and that removal of this sandstone has caused a delay in
the installation of pipeline casing. He advised that he will encourage the
contractor to fill potholes prior to the weekend. He also stated that a
response to the Council's concerns regarding the Renton Hill detour will be
forthcoming.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Streets: Truck Route in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Ordinance hearing to consider the Truck Route Ordinance.
Letters were read from Versie and Warren Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton,
98057, and Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, 98055,
commending the initiation of the truck route ordinance and requesting the
following:
1) Exempt school buses or transit buses on specific routes from truck route
ordinance requirements.
2) Provide left-hand turn for trucks going south on Park at Bronson.
3) Reduce truck weight limit in ordinance from 26,000 pounds Gross
vehicle weight (GVW) to:
a) Mr. and Mrs. Vaupel - 20,000 pounds or less; and
b) Ms. Richter - 16,000 pounds or less.
4) Change signage at North Third and Logan to direct truck and bus traffic
down Logan instead of North Third.
5) Protect North 2nd and 3rd Streets from truck traffic.
6) Install crosswalk at Garden and Bronson and provide access to Liberty
Park.
Correspondence was read from Larry A. Pursley, Executive Vice President,
Washington Trucking Associations, P. O. Box 81086, Seattle, 98108,
r.. supporting the adoption of the truck route ordinance, and expressing
appreciation for the City's efforts to provide balance and allow the trucking
industry to conduct business in a reasonable fashion while restricting
unnecessary truck traffic on City streets.
Assistant Transportation Planner Liz Gotterer stated the following reasons for
implementation of the ordinance:
1) Trucks are essential to the transportation system and economy;
2) Trucks provide service to businesses and citizens;
3w�v .
October 7, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 334
3) Explicit truck routes make driving simpler;
4) Citizens perceive trucks and truck drivers more favorably;
5) Heavy trucks create noise, air pollution, and intrusion; and
6) Residential streets are not constructed to withstand the weight of
repeated truck traffic.
Ms. Gotterer advised that the staff worked with the Council Transportation
Committee, Washington Trucking Association, Police Department, public, and
transportation operations staff during the development of this ordinance.
Routes selected:
1) Are principal arterials able to withstand truck traffic weight;
2) Provide direct truck routes from one end of City to the other;
3) Concur with informal truck routes already in use;
4) Minimize the number of streets included in the routes; and
5) Provide efficient movement through the City.
Ms. Gotterer stated that the proposed ordinance limits the gross vehicle
weight (GVW) for trucks using the recommended routes to 26,000 pounds.
The ordinance also provides exemptions for Renton School District buses and
transit buses using designated routes, garbage trucks, and City maintenance
and emergency vehicles. Ms. Gotterer showed slides of the types and sizes of
vehicles that will be required to use the truck route.
Ms. Gotterer advised that the ordinance will benefit City residents, police,
truck drivers, and traffic operations staff; and that staff recommended that
the draft ordinance be accepted and referred to the Ways and Means
Committee.
Councilmembers asked the following questions:
1) Has a left-hand turn at Park and Bronson been considered for truck
traffic?
2) Are there any restrictions for parking trucks on residential streets?
Traffic Systems Manager Melvin Wilson stated that the Bronson and Park
intersection will be considered under the design review for the Park Avenue
Project which is currently in progress. He also advised that the City Code
addresses parking regulations for trucks on public right-of-ways, and limits
the GVW for such trucks to 12,000 pounds.
Responding to an inquiry from the audience, Mr. Wilson stated that private
and church school buses would meet the same requirements as the public
schools and be exempt when traveling designated routes. Councilman Tanner
noted that the ordinance did not address private and church school bus
exclusion and requested that the ordinance language be clarified.
Mr. Wilson noted that trucks traveling to a specific City destination for
business purposes would be allowed to leave the truck route; however, trucks
passing through Renton or traveling off arterial truck routes without a
destination would be in violation of the ordinance.
Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, 98055, stated that
26,000 pounds GVW is too high, and pointed out that the type of load carried
would also affect truck weight. She said that bus stops are located at two-
block intervals in North Renton and that residents do not want more buses in
the area. Ms. Richter emphasized the importance of enforcement of this
ordinance.
Responding to Ralph Evans' inquiries, 3306 NE I 1 th Place, Renton, 98056,
Ms. Gotterer said that any vehicle over 26,000 pounds GVW must obtain a
commercial vehicle license. She stated further that the recommended truck
routes were designed to provide a direct route for passthrough trucks, and
that trucks making multiple deliveries in the City will be directed through
arterial routes whenever possible.
In response to Sanford Webb's inquiry, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton,
98055, Ms. Gotterer said that trucks traveling within the City must be
conducting business at specific destinations.
Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, 98057, suggested that all large
commercial vehicles be restricted to truck routes, and that ordinance language
335
October 7. 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 335
stating gross vehicle weight (GVW) be changed to read gross registered
vehicle weight (GRVW).
MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE
THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
Councilmembers made the following inquiries:
1) Has the transportation of hazardous waste materials been addressed?
2) Are there any restrictions for trucks carrying chemicals in the aquifer
protection area?
Mr. Wilson recommended that restrictions for vehicles transporting hazardous
materials be addressed as a separate issue from the truck route ordinance.
MOVED BY ZIMMERMAN, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL
CONCUR IN THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND REFER THIS
MATTER TO THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE. CARRIED.
AUDIENCE COMMENT Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11th Place, Renton, 98056, stated that he had attended
Citizen Comment: Evans a public meeting of the King County citizen advisory committee considering
- Regional Justice Center proposed sites for the regional justice center. He said that the proposed
Renton site for the center located on Monroe Avenue NE off NE 4th Street
was discussed. He reported that members of the audience opposed the site
and expressed concern about the sewer moratorium, lack of adequate access,
Comprehensive Plan, impact of additional traffic, and nearness to single-
family residential properties; and stated his opinion that these comments were
not adequately considered by the committee.
Mr. Evans commented that the facility will be extensive, and suggested that
the City initiate further action if it does not want the justice center on the
Monroe site.
Councilwoman Zimmerman reported that she attended the meeting and had
submitted the 8/19/91 Public Safety Committee report regarding the Council's
opposition to the Monroe site to the advisory committee.
Citizen Comment: Webb - Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, 98055, objected to the
SEPA Process, Election newspaper coverage of election activities. He also stated his opinion that the
Mayor and Council had not adhered to the State Environmental Policy Act

CORRESPONDENCE Correspondence was read from Marie McCloud, 524 Renton Avenue South;
Public Works: Easement Vi & Chester Perala, 528 Renton Avenue South; Linda McManus, 530 Renton
Restrictions (Slapnick), Avenue South; and Eric Hurskainen, 521 Renton Avenue South, Renton,
Renton Avenue South requesting that the Council prohibit Janet Slapnick, 531 Grant Avenue South,
Renton, from restricting use of an easement on her north property line.
The petition pointed out that the King County Assessor's Map shows the
easement running 110 feet west from Grant Avenue along Mrs. Slapnick's
property which serves City-owned property and adjoining lots owned by the
four petitioners.
The petitioners requested that Council consider the following:
1) All properties are dependent upon the easement for access.
2) The properties are landlocked and have been served by the easement in
excess of 45 years.
3) The easement is firmly established for the following reasons:
a) Implication, when grantors sold the properties.
b) Necessity, since all of the properties are numbered on Renton
Avenue which is in excess of 45 feet and are virtually inaccessible
without extensive and major construction, and no driveways would
be possible because the angle of decline is at least 65 degrees.
c) Estoppel, in that all the property owners acquired title to the
property in recorded sales from grantors who had to know the
purchasers were relying on the use of the easement for access.
d) Prescription, inasmuch as all of the lots have been held either
individually and through "tacking" to the rights of their respective
grantors in excess of 10 years.
Ms. Slapnick stated that trucks and bulldozers using the easement have run
over her lawn and caused damage to the easement. She claimed that cars are
traveling too fast up and down the road, and that maintenance of the
easement is a constant problem.
Ms. Slapnick stated her opinion that the lots were not landlocked since the
residents face Renton Avenue. She also commented that this is a legal matter
and not under the jurisdiction of the City Council.
Y . 1
October 7, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 337
Mr. McManus, 530 Renton Avenue South, Renton, said that Ms. Slapnick has
posted a sign on the easement that no trucks are allowed. He noted that it
would be necessary for garbage trucks to maneuver a very steep grade in
order to access the front side of the properties on Renton Avenue as
proposed by Ms. Slapnick. Mr. McManus also pointed out that completion of
an alley that comes within two lots of the subject properties might provide an
alternative access for the petitioners and preclude use of the easement.

WSDOT: I-405 Project Correspondence was read from City Attorney Lawrence J. Warren stating that
Noise Variance Request as requested by Council on 9/23/91, he reviewed a previous procedure used
in granting a noise variance to Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT). Based on this review, Mr. Warren suggested that
the current WSDOT request for noise variance be processed as follows; and
proposed that the procedure be included in the City Code:
1) The Board of Public Works render an administrative determination; and
2) The Council hear appeals within 14 days of the date of the Board's
decision.
Mr. Warren suggested that a public meeting be scheduled for 10/22/91. He
further advised that WSDOT is seeking the variance for night work since
portions of the I-405 S-Curve project require closing multiple traffic lanes
and daytime closure would seriously effect traffic on City streets.
In response to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's reminder that a Candidate
Forum is being held on 10/22/91, Executive Assistant Jay Covington agreed
to coordinate an alternate date for the public meeting. Councilwoman
Zimmerman requested that Renton Hill residents be notified and that the
meeting be held at a time that is convenient for citizens.
Ms. Keolker-Wheeler requested that initial negotiations with WSDOT
regarding the I-405 S-Curve project be reviewed to ensure that agreements
are being fulfilled.
King County: Emergency Council President Nelson entered correspondence from Mayor Earl Clymer
Public Safety reporting that King County public safety agencies cannot communicate
Communication System directly with each other which could create problems during emergency
Bond Issue situations requiring multi-agency response. A multi-agency advisory
committee; consultant studies by Seattle, King County, and Bellevue; and
Valley Communication Center agencies agree that a countywide, integrated
communication system using the 800-megahertz trunked-radio technology is
necessary.
Mayor Clymer further reported that Mayor Rice of Seattle and the Suburban
Cities Association (SCA) have endorsed a ballot measure for November, 1991,
(probably a bond issue) to fund a complete communication system for King
County Public Safety agencies which would require an additional tax of
approximately $.07 per $1,000 of assessed valuation.

Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler entered the 10/16/91 update on the Metro
Cedar River trunkline relocation project which stated that Metro is currently
preparing a proposal to relocate only the portion of its trunkline that directly
interferes with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)
I-405 relocation project.
Metro proposes to install an interim line providing a cost efficient and less
disruptive permanent line for utilization by the current facilities located
within the Cedar River and Liberty Parks. With the installation of an interim
line, Metro is no longer under a time limitation that would affect the
alignment chosen for the permanent relocation. Removing the time issue
allows for the City and Metro to study alternatives and methodology to
provide for public input. *MOTION CARRIED.
Latecomer Agreement: Referred 6/3/91 - The Utilities Committee was requested to work with Mr.

002-89 his attorney on 6/5/91. The Committee requested that the City Attorney
work with Mr. Cantellay's attorney and Mrs. Tomlan to arrive at an equitable
solution. After four letters by the City Attorney to Mr. Cantellay's attorney
and three promises to respond, the City ultimately received a letter dated
10/3/91, rejecting the City's proposals. The Committee then held a follow-
up meeting on 10/16/91, at which time Mr. Cantellay indicated that he did
not think it was fair that he was being asked to pay.

October 21, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Page 353
Based upon this record the Committee recommended that the Council
authorize the City Attorney to take all necessary steps to terminate the
sanitary sewer extension agreement by which sewer was provided to the
Cantellays by the City of Renton, and take whatever further steps are
necessary to cause the Cantellay sewer to be disconnected from the City's
system. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY
ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.*
Milt Cantellay, 16624 104th SE, Renton, 98055, stated that he intends to pay
for the extension of sewer line on his property; however, he contended that a
latecomer agreement is an improper vehicle for the initiation of such
payment. He requested that Council allow him to pursue independent
payment negotiations with Mrs. Tomlan.
For the record, Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler clarified that Mr. Cantellay
was notified of the last meeting before the Council because he attended the
Committee meeting, and he was told at the Committee meeting that it would
be taken up at the next Council meeting on Monday.
City Attorney Warren advised that if the motion is passed, Mr. Cantellay
would have time to negotiate a payment agreement with Mrs. Tomlan prior to
disconnection of Mr. Cantellay's service.

Access Road District Administrator, 15325 SE 30th Place, Bellevue, 98007-6568, to
Council President Nelson regarding the 1-405 S-Curve project Renton
Avenue detour. Mr. Anderson stated that WSDOT believes that maintenance
of this roadway by City forces during icy and snowy conditions, in addition
to opening up access from the backside of Renton Hill, would be the most
prudent way to address City concerns.
Mr. Anderson stated further that WSDOT has tried to provide a safe detour
route to the Renton Hill area, and feels that providing joint maintenance and
access to the backside of Renton Hill is the most responsible approach to
winter operations.

Planning: Vision 2020 Referred 12/3/90 - The Planning and Development Committee agreed that
recommendations from Vision 2020 should be considered by the Planning
Commission before a final recommendation on the Comprehensive Plan land
use element is sent to the Council in March. The Committee recommended

COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Planning: Building Referred 6/10/91 - The Planning and Development Committee reported that
Moratorium, R-3/R-4 the Planning Division staff is working with City Attorney Larry Warren on a
Development process for reviewing private rezones and comprehensive plan amendments
during the interim period before the Comprehensive Plan is adopted in July,
1993. Since this may also be appropriate for the R-3/R-4 zoning, the
Committee requested that the staff report back to the Committee with a
recommendation. The subject will be held in committee. MOVED BY

COMMITTEE REPORT.*
In response to Councilwoman Zimmerman's inquiry, Ms. Mathews stated that
the Planning Commission set an expiration date of 12/31/91 on the
recommended R-3/R-4 moratorium because the Commission anticipated that
development of a preferred land use alternative would be completed by the
end of 1991. However, Comprehensive Plan timelines have been extended.
In response to Councilman Tanner's comments, Ms. Mathews said that the
Planning and Development had favored a site-by-site review of zoning
requests; however, the Planning Commission felt that such a process would be
too cumbersome and time-consuming. Ms. Mathews said that the Planning
and Development Committee does not share the Planning Commission's view
that a blanket moratorium should be imposed, but the Committee is
concerned with the zoning of large parcels of property that might change the
face of the community before the final Comprehensive Plan is adopted.
*MOTION CARRIED.
CAG: 91-087, Boeing Referred 11/4/91 - The Planning and Development Committee recommended
Longacres Office Park, that the contract between the City and Jones & Stokes Associates to prepare
Jones & Stokes (Adden. the Longacres Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) (now funded at
#1) $289,000.00) be amended to include:
1) A study of regional socioeconomic impacts likely to occur with the
development of Longacres Park. This study will cost $10,510.00, and
will be funded entirely by The Boeing Company; no City funds will be
used for this study. This amendment would increase the total value of
the EIS to $299,510.00.
2) A study of regional transportation impacts likely to occur with the
Longacres Park development. This study will cost $118,744.00, to be
funded entirely by The Boeing Company; no City funds will be used for
this study. This amendment would increase the total value of the EIS to
$418,254.00.
The regional transportation study will supplement a local transportation
study. This study, which will cost $50,000.00, was funded by Boeing as
part of the initial EIS contract.
Findings from the regional study will be used in the Longacres EIS.
These findings will also be used in the planned update of the City's
existing Valley Transportation Plan (which needs to be amended for the
new Comprehensive Transportation Plan). As the City will benefit from
this regional study, which is funded by Boeing, the City will credit
Boeing against future regional transportation mitigation for Longacres.
November 18, 1991 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 378
The maximum "credit" that Boeing could receive is calculated at
$45,000.00 (from the proposed $118,744.00). The precise amount and
form of the credit will be finalized when impacts are determined and
mitigation measures are established. The City will not give cash credit to
Boeing, but would reduce the fees which Boeing must pay to the City
for regional impact mitigation. Local mitigation fees would not be
affected.
NOTE: To date Boeing has paid $289,000.00 for the EIS, $82,000.00 for
environmental and land use review, and $166,000.00 for professional staff
services.

Committee of the Whole Council President Nelson presented a Committee of the Whole report stating
CAG: 90-075, that on 11/4/91, the Committee approved implementation of the Ewing &
Compensation & Associates Classification and Compensation Study for the City of Renton, as
Classification Study amended. The study will be implemented in accordance with negotiated
agreements for represented employees, and as recommended by the
Administration for non-represented employees.
Specific actions associated with the implementation of the Study are:
1) 21-R - Appeals reviewed and resolved per written agreement dated
10/2/91; implement study as negotiated.
2) On 8/12/91, the Council directed Personnel to allow a further appeal
period for all employees regarding the Ewing Study. As such, 13 appeals
representing 40 positions were negotiated. Negotiations were held on
10/2, 11/16 and 11/17. An agreement was reached to approve 6 of the
appeals representing 17 positions, and not change recommendations on 7
of the appeals representing 23 positions.
3) Non-represented - Appeals were received and responded to; implement
study as amended.
4) Police Guild Non-Commissioned - Currently in negotiations with non-
commissioned employees, utilizing data, recommendations, and
methodology from Ewing Study in setting salaries from a market-based
approach. The impact of the Ewing process has been discussed and
clarified.
5) Police Lieutenant - As part of Classification and Compensation Study,
these positions are being upgraded and recommended for placement at
Step E of new Salary Range 33 to provide comparable compensation that
exists per Resolution #2830. Police Lieutenants and the Administration
concur in the recommendation that they be placed in the "management"
pay grid and that Resolution #2830 be abolished. Allow continuance of
payment for both clothing and cleaning allowance for those non-
represented positions required by the Police Chief to wear and maintain
uniforms.
6) Deputy Fire Chief - Resolution #2700 will be modified to state that the
"Pay differential for positions between Battalion Chief and the position
of Deputy Chief will be a minimum of 4 percent" to enable the City to
implement the Study recommendation for that position.
Responding to Councilman Stredicke's inquiry, Executive Assistant Jay
Covington said that Police Lieutenants will be placed on the management
matrix; and that Resolution #2830, which establishes a pay differential
between Police Sergeants and Lieutenants, will be abolished.

Councilwoman Zimmerman questioned the level of compensation paid for
administrative functions, and felt that further analysis of administrative
compensation was necessary.
Mayor Clymer stated that in July, 1992, he presented to Council the Ewing
Study recommendation for employee compensation and a request for
adjustment in the Mayor's salary based on the Ewing Study criteria. He
expressed his opinion that the Mayor, as chief City official, should receive
compensation at least equal to the salaries of the department administrators he
supervises.
low In response to Councilwoman Mathews' inquiry, Mayor Clymer said that the
position of Mayor would receive the same cost of living adjustment proposed
for non-represented employees.
MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL
APPROVE THE INCREASE IN THE MAYOR'S SALARY TO $6,464 PER
i
MONTH AS PROPOSED.
Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's question, Mr. Covington
said that a review of administrative salaries resulted in a recommendation to
place the Mayor and the Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator at
the same level.
ROLL CALL: SIX AYES: NELSON, KEOLKER-WHEELER,
STREDICKE, EDWARDS, SCHLITZER, MATHEWS. ONE NAY:
ZIMMERMAN. MOTION CARRIED.
Moved by Stredicke, seconded by Zimmerman, that the total utility rates be
reduced by 3 percent.*
Councilman Edwards noted that the increased utility rates are a result of the
amount of utility remediation, repair, and capital improvement required; and
that a decrease in utility rates would require a plan outlining what would not
be done. Councilman Stredicke stated that he was confident that the
administration could make such determinations. He said that his concern was
related to the negative impact utility rate increases would have on fixed-
income families.
Speaking against the motion, Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler noted that a
reduction from 11.2 percent to 9.2 percent would result in a delay in Wells I1
and 17 construction, elimination of the plastics recycling program, and
elimination of the multi-family recycling program. She further stated that
the proposed overall utility rate increase of 11.2 percent would result in a
utility bill increase of 90 cents per month for the average family.
Councilmembers made the following inquiries:
1) At what point will large rate increases not be required?
2) What is the amount of the sewer utility rate increase?
3) How will water conservation and aquifer protection programs be funded?
Staff responded as follows:
1) Fund balances from utility projects do not subsidize the General Fund,
and monies remaining at the end of the fiscal year are calculated into the
following year's budget when utility rate adjustments are considered.
Utility fund balances should begin to build again in 1995.
2) The sewer utility rate increase is 20.4 percent; however, the water utility
has supported the sewer utility for several years. Under new accounting
regulations, costs must be allocated to the appropriate utility; and these
requirements have resulted in a higher rate increase for the sewer utility.
3) Since work has not yet been completed on the aquifer protection and
water conservation programs, the issue of funding for these programs
will need to be addressed at a later date.

Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler requested that the Administration prepare a
report for the 12/9/91 Council meeting on how the proposed split in cost-of-
living increases for non-represented employees (one-half of cost-of living
increase in 1/92, and the balance in 7/92) will impact retirees, widows, and
dependents of retired employees.
Councilman Edwards discussed alternatives to the proposed increase in animal
license fees ($11.00 for altered animals; $22 for non-altered animals). He err,
commented that a previous increase had resulted in a reduction of animal
license applications.
In response to Councilwoman Zimmerman's inquiry, Mr. Covington said that
citations are usually issued for at-large animals, and if the animal is
impounded the pet owner is fined upon release of the animal. He also stated
that license fees do not cover the total cost of the animal control program
which is subsidized by the General Fund.

MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY STREDICKE,

2) Pass a grandfather clause allowing Mr. Lande to store hay in the building
on site; or
3) Make feed stores exempt from the regulations through legislation.

site. Councilman Edwards pointed out that restrictive covenants on the
rezone would require environmental review and landscaping on future site
development.

property for access.

OLD BUSINESS Utilities Committee Chairman Keolker-Wheeler presented the following
Utilities Committee Committee report:
Garbage: King County Item #1: Referred 1/8/90 - The Utilities Committee recommended that no
Transfer Station further action be taken on the King County transfer station since King
County has complied with the City's requirements. The proposed
improvements to the transfer station have been reviewed by the Utility r.r
Systems Division with the following noted:
1) King County has complied with the requirement to include critical areas
of operation from the storm collection system to the City's sanitary sewer
system in order to provide additional protection to the City's aquifer
from hazardous substances disposed of at the transfer station.
2) King County has complied with the requirement to limit release to the
sanitary sewer system as established by the Utility Systems Division to
ensure release will not impact the existing Maplewood sewer interceptor.
3) Plans are substantially complete, except for some minor issues, and are
ready for acceptance.
4) The approval of the plans does not constitute the approval of the
conditional use permit required by the City's Planning Division.
5) Construction of the transfer station sewer connection should be
completed in 1992.
6) The City has installed a groundwater monitoring well on the County
property (easement conveyed to the City) as part of the overall
groundwater monitoring program. The City will be sampling and testing
at the well in 1992.
January 6. 1992 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 7
King County Solid Waste Division will implement recycling drop boxes for
use by customers using the transfer station in 1992. Collection boxes will be
available for mixed paper, newspaper, glass, aluminum, and tin food and
beverage containers.
Citizen Comment: Item 02: Referred 11/26/90 - The Utilities Committee recommended that
Neighbors of May Creek correspondence from the Neighbors of May Creek, 9605 143rd Avenue SE,
- Sewer Interceptor Renton, regarding the sewer interceptor feasibility study be deleted from the
Feasibility Study Committee's referral list since a response was sent on 1/10/91.
Garbage: King County Item #3: Referred 4/8/91 - The King County Council approved new
Solid Waste Fees, Landfill disposal fees for 1/1/91. The County approved transfer of the Energy
Remediation Resource Recovery (E/RR) funds to a new environmental remediation fund
and creation of a $3 million grant fund for use by suburban cities and King
County Solid Waste Division. The Committee recommended that the referral
regarding King County solid waste fees be deleted from the referral list.
Citizen Comment: Webb - Item #4: Referred 4/22/91 - Sanford Webb's, 430 Mill Avenue South,
Sewer Problem, Heather Renton, 98055, concerns for an overloaded sewer system in the Heather
Downs Area Downs area have not been substantiated by any evidence of insufficient
capacity. Further, Mr. Webb's sewer backups were a result of blockage in
the system by construction and a defective check valve. No further problems
are expected at this residence. The decision to install the check valve in the
side sewer following the blockage was made by Mr. Webb, and was not a
requirement or suggestion by City staff members. The Committee
recommended this item be deleted from the referral list.
Utility: Sewer Connection Item #5: Referred 5/20/91 - City practice and applicable codes on sewer
Charge design and connections have resulted in a good system with few and generally
only minor incidents of property damage (median claim amount is $226.70)
from sewer backups. There does not appear to be a need to change our
design or maintenance practices or to modify City codes to address possible
sewer backup conditions. However, it should be understood that some sewer
backups can be expected; and may occur from blockages in the system caused
by improper use of the system, construction activities, and a variety of other
unforeseen conditions rather than from design flaws or improper
maintenance.
The Utilities Committee suggested that, in the event the City elects to pay
damages in settlement of a sewer backup claim, that consideration be given to
requiring the property owner to install a backflow valve in the side sewer as
a condition of settlement when 1) this will bring the property into compliance
with existing codes; and 2) a backflow valve will reduce the City's exposure
to future claims.
Citizen Comment: Item #6: Referred 10/21/91 - Flooding Problems, 1824 Anacortes NE,
Kusumoto - Flooding on Renton (Kusumoto). This is a private property drainage problem.
Property, Anacortes NE Planning/Building/Public Works Department has met with Mr. Kusumoto,
and has attempted to bring the involved parties together. The Department
will remain in contact with Mr. Kusumoto and monitor progress. The
Utilities Committee recommended that this item be deleted from the referral
list.

WSDOT: I-405 S-Curve
Project Report 1) The third pipeline cutover should be completed by 2/19/92.
2) The pipeline project construction should be completed in May or June of
1992.
3) WSDOT will install barricades and signs to alleviate traffic flow problems
in the vicinity of Third and South Houser.
4) Bids for the I-405 S-Curve realignment contract will open in April, 1992;
and construction should begin by June, 1992.
5) An information sign board will be installed underneath I-405 to inform
the public of project activity. In response to Councilman Stredicke's
inquiry, Mr. Dyer said that WSDOT will continue to send written
notifications of project activity to area residents.
Council President Keolker-Wheeler requested that WSDOT perform
maintenance of road surfaces damaged by construction activity on a regular
basis. She also reported that on 2/3/92, a construction vehicle parked on the
wrong side of Renton Avenue created a driving hazard, and requested that
construction personnel be alerted to the danger created by such action.
Ruth Larson, President of the Renton Hill Community Association, 714 High
Avenue South, Renton, stated that:
1) Vehicles are not stopping at the light on Third and Mill, and requested
that WSDOT consider placing a yield sign in that area.
2) Recent rains and runoff from the construction area are causing a
flooding hazard at Third and Mill.
3) Inadequate lighting on Third, Fourth, and a portion of Mill is causing
hazardous driving conditions.
Manly Grinolds, 23 South Third Street, Renton, complained that the detour
on Third is poorly designed. He also suggested that driving lanes on South
Third be clearly identified by lines, signs, and/or lights. Mr. Grinolds
expressed concern that fire trucks would not be able to reach his residence in

property.
Mr. Dyer advised that the pipeline project includes installation and
connection of a six-foot diameter pipeline which runs through the
intersection of Third and Mill. He said that the configuration of the detour
was the best solution available, and that the only other alternative was to
close Third Avenue. Mr. Dyer stated further that WSDOT is making every
effort to maintain the road surfaces affected by project construction activity.
Ann Grinolds, 324 Cedar Avenue South, Renton, noted that the South Third
intersection is confusing for drivers since the traffic light and stop sign are ,,—

City's non-voted debt capacity and whether those funds could be used to

PROCLAMATION A proclamation by Mayor Clymer was read recognizing the engineering
National Engineers Week, ingenuity, knowledge, and skills which have benefited State of Washington;
2/16-2/22/92 and declaring 2/16-2/22/92 as National Engineers' Week. Mayor Clymer
urged that citizens join this observance under the 1992 theme "Engineers:
Turning Ideas Into Reality." MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE
PROCLAMATION. CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Utility: Aquifer in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Protection Ordinance hearing to consider the Aquifer Protection Ordinance. Utility Systems
Director Richard Anderson introduced Utility Engineering Supervisor Ron
Olsen, Civil Engineer Lys Hornsby, and Consultant Mike Warfel who have
worked on the Aquifer Protection project.
Mr. Anderson explained that the City's aquifer, an underground water-
bearing soil strata, is 23 feet below ground surface at Cedar and Liberty
Parks. Because of the shallow level, the aquifer is at risk of contamination.
He provided a brief history of water supplies in the region, noting that
because of a regional supply deficiency, the City of Seattle has declared it
will not serve new users or allow existing users to expand their service
boundaries.
Mr. Anderson noted that it would be cost effective to protect Renton's water
supply rather than develop an alternative water supply, clean up a
contaminated water supply, or provide water treatment facilities. He also
pointed out that to protect its water supply, the City has:
1) Conducted several studies to obtain important data to guide water utility
programs.
February 10. 1992 Renton City Council Minutes Paste 60
2) Implemented the Underground Storage Tank Ordinance, a resolution
establishing the Aquifer Protection area, the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) sole-source aquifer designation, and the Hazardous Waste
and Storage Zoning Ordinance.
3) Implemented improvements, such as obtaining golf course water rights,
installation of monitoring wells at the PACCAR site,
relocation/development/construction of supply wells, development of
computer model to simulate contaminant flow, and exploration for a
deep aquifer in the golf course.
4) Required that other agencies respect the City's water source through
installation of telemetry system for water supply and monitoring wells,
implementation of I-405 protective measures, installation of Mt. Olivet
tight line for leachate pipeline, and installation of King County transfer
station sewers and monitoring wells.
The Aquifer Protection Ordinance includes the following:
1) Threshold quantity requirement for regulated substances;
2) Removal of facilities in Zone 1 of the aquifer protection area that cannot
comply with the terms of the threshold requirements within ten years;
3) Specifications for pipeline materials and testing standards;
4) Engineering plan review of new development proposals by a water utility
engineer using criteria for prohibited and exempted uses, permit
requirements, secondary containment and monitoring requirements, and
storm water and sewer requirements.
5) Prohibition of certain new facilities such as landfills and hazardous waste
facilities in Zones 1 & 2.
6) Requirement for reporting and cleaning up unauthorized release of
regulated substances.
7) Conditions for residential development.
8) Construction standards for the use and handling of regulated substances.
9) Review and issuance of facility closure permits to ensure that property is
clean when operations cease.
10) Penalties for non-compliance.
The ordinance will be implemented as follows:
1) Commercial, industrial, and business activities within Zone 1 using more
than the minimum quantity of regulated substances will be required to
comply within 12 months.
2) Business within Zone 2 will be required to comply within 24 months.
3) Any business using, manufacturing, or storing regulated substances
greater than the minimum quantity must have a permit to ensure that the
business has the ability to clean up spills, provide secondary
containment, and monitor storage.
Mr. Anderson said that the ordinance exempts single-family residences unless
operating a business; fuel tanks attached to motor vehicles; sale of unopened
containers of five gallons or less; businesses that use five gallons or less of
any one substance or twenty gallons aggregate quantity; and existing heating
systems using fuel oil.
Mr. Anderson stated that the staff recommended that the ordinance be passed
with the following inclusions:
1) Set threshold quantity of five gallons for regulated substances;
2) Allow 12 months for compliance in Zone 1;
�.l.
February 10, 1992 Renton City Council Minutes Page 61
3) Allow 24 months for compliance in Zone 2;
4) Require that non-conforming businesses relocate out of Zone 1 within 10
years, and there be no subsidy of relocation costs by the City;
5) Program be funded through a water rate increase applied to the water
meter charge (estimated per typical residence cost $0.48 per month).
6) Require that development within 330 feet of a sewer line connect to
sewer service.
Councilmembers made the following inquiries:
1) Has the public had an opportunity to review the ordinance?
2) What exemption applies to single-family residences?
3) What is the typical meter cost for businesses?
4) How were Zone 1 and Zone 2 designations determined?
5) Are relocating businesses exempt from permit fees?
6) Are there safeguards to ensure that aquifer-threatening business does not
locate in Zone 1?
7) Will the real estate community be informed of the regulations?
8) Will property deeds contain zone designations?
9) What exemptions apply to multi-family residences and non-conforming
residences?
10) What protection does the City have if Renton's water supply becomes a
regional water supply?
Mr. Anderson responded as follows:
1) Several public meetings have been held, drafts of the proposed ordinance
have been available to the public for several months, the current draft
has been available for two months, and the issue paper was published
two weeks ago.
2) Single-family residences are not exempt from the proposed increase in
monthly meter charges but are exempt from the requirement to obtain a
permit.
3) Since businesses have different size meters it is difficult to quote a
typical charge.
4) The outside boundary of the aquifer to the north, east, and south
generally follows the City limit line, and the City has the power to
impose water rights legislation only within the City. The zones were
based upon the geology of the area.
5) There has been no discussion regarding permit exemption for relocating
businesses.
6) All development plans will be reviewed by the Water Utility Division for
compliance with the Aquifer Protection Ordinance.
7) The real estate community will be notified when the ordinance is
approved so that potential buyers can be made aware of the regulations.
8) The ordinance will contain legal descriptions of property in Zone 1 and
Zone 2, and will be recorded with King County. Normally, a title
search lists property exceptions on the title insurance policy.
9) All residential properties are exempt from the relocation and permit
requirements unless a business operation is attached to the residence.
10) If Renton's water system becomes part of a regional water system in the
future, the City would probably receive reimbursement for its
investment.
Jack Riley, Aqua Barn Travel, 15227 SE Renton-Maple Valley Highway,
Renton, 98058, stated his opinion that he owned the water rights on his
property because he had filed for those rights. He reported that water use
February 10. 1992 Renton City Council Minutes Page 62
within the City of Renton boundaries has lowered the water levels on three
of the wells on his property, and requested that the City address this situation
to ensure that water levels remain consistent.
Ray Griffin, 14306 144th Avenue SE, Renton, suggested that City wells be
relocated to protect the water supply from contaminants. He made the
following inquiries:
1) Why is the railroad allowed to carry chemicals and petroleum over the
aquifer?
2) Why are pesticides and fertilizers used by the Parks Department?
3) Why does the City property not have storm drains when they are
required elsewhere?
4) What emergency measures would be taken if a tanker truck tipped over?
5) Why are sewer lines allowed over the aquifer?
He suggested that well fields be relocated on the Renton plateau or in
Maplewood to protect the water supply from the potential threat of the Metro
interceptor, petroleum pipelines, the railroad, I-405, and/or downtown
Renton businesses.
Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, 98055, asked whether
underground tanks belonging to discontinued service stations and other
businesses have been removed from the aquifer area.
Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, 98055, stated that some of
the businesses in Zone 1 have contributed to Renton for over 30 years and
should not have to bear the full burden of this legislation. He said water
purity affects everyone and everyone should share in its cost. Mr. Webb
recommended that the City reevaluate the need for the stringent requirements
in the ordinance, and pay the costs for implementation of controls and
relocation of businesses.
Bong Ki Choy, 4601 130th Avenue SE, Bellevue, spoke on behalf of his sister
and brother-in-law who own Tony's Cleaners in Renton. He said that since
the business would be unable to comply with the ordinance, the cost of
relocation would create a hardship.
06
In response to Councilman Edwards' inquiry, Mr. Anderson said that all
underground tanks have to be removed and/or replaced with tanks that
provide secondary containment. He stated further that the ordinance
provides a 10-year period for businesses to conform to the provisions of the
ordinance; and if conformance is not possible, the business would have to
relocate.
Shawn Hollands, 1501 4th Avenue, Seattle, representing the North American
Refractory Company (NARCO) manufacturing plant stated that some of the
ordinance regulations are arbitrary and cannot be scientifically justified. He
suggested that the ordinance regulations contain varying threshold ranges
since chemicals vary in toxicity.
Mr. Hollands also noted that leakage or spillage from certain land uses can be
controlled by setting reasonable performance standards rather than requiring
relocation of facilities. He said that if inspection and monitoring procedures
are in place, there is no need for a land use ban. Mr. Hollings claimed that
the ordinance discriminates against industrial users of land since it provides
exemptions for agricultural and residential uses.
February 10, 1992 Renton Citv Council Minutes Page 63
Attorney David Halinen, representing Stoneway Concrete, 800 Bellevue Way
NE, Suite 376, Bellevue, 98004, said that the ordinance unfairly shifts the
cost of water supply protection to business owners in Zones I and 2. He
requested that the Council consider the following:
1) Businesses be allowed to conduct a containment program without having
to ultimately relocate.
2) Payment of relocation costs if containment is not possible.
He noted that the relocation cost for Stoneway would far exceed the
projected $50,000. Councilmembers requested additional cost information
from Mr. Halinen.
Bill Bryant, Bryant Motors, 1300 Bronson Way North, Renton, said that the
company would ultimately have to relocate since it cannot comply with the
proposed storage levels for regulated substances.
Mr. Bryant requested that the Fire Department and other City departments
form a mutual understanding for controls and monitoring standards. He said
that Bryant Motors recognizes the need for water supply protection, and has
already installed containment tanks in compliance with City regulations. He
further stated that Bryant Motors has never had any evidence of
contamination in 46 years. Mr. Bryant expressed concern regarding the value
of his property in ten years if he is forced to relocate.
Virginia Forte, 40-Rentals, 1100 Bronson Way, Renton, supported protection
of the aquifer; however, the Company is concerned about meeting the
requirements for regulated substances. She said that efforts to acquire a
permit for an above-ground fuel tank have not been successful. Ms. Forte
questioned whether 40-Rentals would need to install a test well when there is
one within five feet of the property line; and asked if a calculation had been
made to determine the percentage of material regulated by the ordinance
versus the percentage of material exempted.
Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, 98057, supported the ordinance, and
noted that residents must change their habits to protect the aquifer.
Responding to Councilman Edwards' inquiry, Mr. Anderson said that Zone 1
businesses subject to ordinance regulations must:
1) Apply for an operating permit within six months;
2) Achieve compliance for secondary containment and monitoring within
twelve months; and
3) Relocate within ten years if compliance is not possible.

Rezone: Senior Housing Councilman Stredicke entered a letter from A. J. Ladner, Executive Director,
Project, R-020-91 Renton Housing Authority, stating that the Board of Commissioners had
voted unanimously to honor Legal Counsel Paul W. Houser for fifty years of
dedicated service to the Housing Authority by naming the Senior Housing
Project building, located at 3150 NE 16th Street, Houser Terrace.
Garbage: Mt. Olivet In response to Councilman Stredicke's inquiry, Mayor Clymer said he would
Landfill provide Council with a full report on the Mount Olivet landfill operation.
City Attorney Warren said that the operator of the landfill indicated that in
order to provide funds for closure of the landfill, the operation must expand
to four adjacent lots they had purchased. Following Environmental Review
Committee (ERC) review, the City allowed the operator to expand the
landfill with the agreement that funds would be segregated and dedicated to
the ultimate closure of the landfill. Mr. Warren stated further that all water
percolated through the system will be treated and routed to a Metro sewer
line.
Responding to Councilman Tanner's inquiry, Mr. Warren advised that
periodic accounting by the City will ensure that the proceeds for closure are
deposited in accordance with the agreement.
Public Safety Committee Public Safety Committee Chairman Schlitzer presented the following
Committee reports:
Fire: Fire Ladder Truck Referred 1/20/92 - The Public Safety Committee recommended concurrence
Replacement with the Administrative Services and Fire Department recommendation to
proceed with the purchase of a replacement for the City's only ladder
apparatus.
On 11/20/91, the City's ladder truck was damaged in a building fire while
being repaired at Seattle Frame and Axle. After initial investigation, it is
apparent that the liability and settlement aspects of this case will not be
settled for many months. To provide the City with an appropriate
replacement as soon as possible, it is recommended that the Council authorize
the purchase of a replacement ladder truck, and that the Mayor's office
approve the acquisition as a sole source purchase.
The Fire Department has contacted a number of vendors and because of the
depressed economy, a rig could be obtained within six to eight months for a
price of $410,800, including Washington State sales tax. Since the damaged
vehicle is 14 years old and has been scheduled for replacement in the next
few years, this approach would make good sense.
The Committee further recommended funding this purchase by including the
apparatus in a planned Councilmanic bond issue scheduled later this year.
In response to Councilman Stredicke's inquiry, Executive Assistant Covington
said that a number of Capital Improvement Project items were identified in
the 1992 Budget for interim financing and that this item would be included.
He advised that when the Administration has prepared materials for the
Councilmanic bond issue, a proposal will presented to Council.

Responding to Councilman Tanner's inquiry, Fire Chief Wheeler advised that
the extent of recovery of insurance funds is still in question since controversy
exists between the insurance companies as to how the fire started and who is
liable for the damage. City Attorney Warren said that procurement of the
fire truck would not prejudice the City's claim.

2) The Housing Authority has elected to seek financing which would
supplement the bond issue, thereby allowing for the additional
reinstatement of at least six units. The amount of the financing and the
number of units will depend on the contractor's cost breakdown and the
final unit count based on bond issue funds.
The Committee report further stated that:
1) Council will be provided with a status report when contractor and
financing negotiations are completed.
2) If all twelve units can be reinstated, the total number of units will be 110

COUNCIL MINUTES COUNCIL APPROVE THE MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 10, 1992, AS
PRESENTED. CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Planning: Wetlands in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Ordinance hearing to consider the draft Wetlands Ordinance. Principal Planner Mary
Lynne Myer provided a brief history of the wetlands in this region, noting
that wetlands are important for flood prevention, sediment removal, storm
water storage, control of storm water runoff, wildlife sanctuaries, aquifer
recharge, and water quality; and that the draft wetlands ordinance proposes to
strike a balance between environmental protection and economic
development. She said that the Growth Management Act requires that
interim critical areas ordinances be adopted by 3/1/92. bow
Ms. Myer said that in the past, the City has regulated wetlands under the
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) on a case by case basis, and that
SEPA contains no standards for applications which can produce inconsistent
and unpredictable outcomes and decrease protection. Since the Growth
Management Act recognizes these issues, it requires specific critical areas
ordinances.
Ms. Myer stated that in 1991, an inventory identified 32 wetlands, totalling
approximately 367 acres within the City limits; and approximately 67
wetlands totaling 1,067 acres, within the sphere of influence.
Ms. Myer introduced City Attorney Warren who addressed concerns about the
issue of "taking" private property in order to preserve wetland areas. Mr.
Warren pointed out that the ordinance provides several avenues of appeal for
property owners who feel that their property has been taken as a result of
new regulations.
Ms. Myer noted that the intent of the ordinance is to maintain balance
between property rights and environmental protection, and stated that the
ordinance allows uses on all properties through mitigation or variance
proceedings.
�r

February 17, 1992 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 75
Ms. Myer stated that the purpose of the ordinance is to:
1) Protect wetland function by discouraging alteration and development
activities in wetlands;
2) Encourage restoration of disturbed wetland systems;
3) Encourage creation of new wetlands areas; and
4) Encourage appropriate development consistent with wetland protection.
n... Ms. Myer outlined the ordinance exemptions as follows:
1) Single wetlands of less than 2,200 square feet in area;
2) Activities on grandfathered structures or facilities;
3) Activities within existing and improved public roads, including utility
activities; and
4) Some alterations to existing single-family structures.
She said that the ordinance also includes the following:
1) Variance procedure for properties not able to meet the ordinance;
2) Method to compensate for losses of wetlands;
3) Method for creating new wetlands to compensate for filled wetlands;
4) Procedure to restore wetlands impacted by development;
5) Cooperative wetlands basin planning and mitigation banks;
6) Requirements for mitigation plan;
7) Density credit transfers for buffered areas;
8) Temporary emergency permit procedure;
9) Review procedures; and
10) Violations and penalties.
Ms. Myer explained the three categories of wetlands:
Category 1: Very High quality wetlands
a) Essential habitat for endangered or threatened species;
b) 40-60% permanent open water with two or more vegetation classes;
,.� c) Ten acres or more having at least three vegetation classes one of
which is open water; and
d) Plant associations of infrequent occurrence.
Category 2: High Quality Wetlands
a) Greater than 2,200 square feet;
b) Heron rookeries or raptor nesting trees;
c) Located at the headwaters of a watercourse; and
d) Minimal human-related physical alteration;
Category 3: Lower Quality Wetlands
a) Severely disturbed
b) Newly emerging
The proposed buffer zones are: 100 feet for Category 1, 50 feet for Category
2, and 25 feet for Category 3. Buffers for wetlands regulated under the
Shoreline Master Program would be determined by SMP land use
designations.
Ms. Myer introduced Planning Commission Chairman Jeff Lukins who
reported that the Commission recommended that:
76
February 17. 1992 Renton City Council Minutes Page 76
1) Wetlands of 10,000 square feet or less be exempted from the ordinance.
2) The buffer zone be no more than 75% of the wetland's net acreage with
a minimum buffer size of 25 square feet.
3) The second paragraph under Section 2.2 Administration and
Interpretation, be revised to delete the word "liberally."
4) The amount of time allowed to return to farming in a previously farmed
area be changed from 12 months to 5 years.
5) Single-family homes in wetlands or wetland buffer areas be
grandfathered into the ordinance and allowed to rebuild if destroyed by
any cause.
Mr. Lukins said that requested that Council consider the Commission's
recommendations when reviewing the proposed Wetlands Ordinance.
Responding to Councilmembers' inquiries, Mr. Lukins said that the 10,000
square feet mentioned in recommendation #1 was not based on any particular
rationale, and that no studies have been conducted to determined the amount
of acreage affected by the Planning Commissions' recommendation.
Mr. Warren reported that a lawsuit pertaining to wetlands legislation was
recently filed against Renton and 46 other cities and counties by the Building
Industry Association of Washington. He said the premise of the suit was that
the Governor had issued executive orders on wetlands legislation without
authority, and that the Department of Ecology wrote contracts that required
cities to adopt the model wetlands ordinance developed by the DOE.
However, Renton's contract with DOE did not include such a stipulation, and
the City's procedure for development of wetlands legislation was set prior to
the filing of the lawsuit. He said that since that procedure was exactly as
stipulated by the lawsuit and that the lawsuit is no longer relevant.
Mr. Warren stated for the record that this hearing is being held to allow the
public to comment on this legislation, and provide the Council with an
opportunity to consider those comments. He stated further that the Council
has the ultimate authority to adopt the proposed ordinance including any
combination of the various factors involved. He noted that the particular now
areas open for Council decision include size of wetlands, definition, setbacks,
placement ratios, and density credits for buffers. He also advised that the
draft ordinance will be amended to included a pro forma section stating that
any violations of the wetlands ordinance would be a nuisance which could be
abated by injunction or other process of law.
Councilmembers made the following inquiries:
1) What are density credits?
2) What does the DOE regulate?
3) Can single-family residences and other buildings currently built on
wetlands be grandfathered?
4) How many single-family and other types of uses would be affected by
grandfathering?
5) If part of King County containing a wetland were to annex to the City
of Renton, would a new wetland be created under our ordinance?
6) Why does the ordinance use the 1989 Army Corp of Engineers manual
but delete references to alternatives and reference tests?
Ms. Myer responded to the inquiries as follows:
i
77
February 17. 1992 Renton City Council Minutes Page 77
1) When a buffer takes a substantial portion of a property, that portion of
density can be transferred to the remainder of the site so that there will
be no loss to the property owner.
2) The DOE has jurisdiction over the Clean Water Act and some permits,
and also serves as an advisory agency for local governments.
3) Grandfathering has been considered, but research indicated that existing
City legislation would have to be changed in order to provide such
protection, which would require separate action by the Council. Mr.
Warren pointed out that the ordinance on replacement of a non-
conforming legal use states that if over 50% of the value of a non-
conforming legal use is destroyed, it cannot be replaced.
4) A staff survey indicated no existing single-family or other types of use
on wetlands.
5) Since King County regulations are very similar to Renton's, the wetland
would be transferred.
6) There are two tests within the Army Corp of Engineers regulations that
are not considered relevant to City regulation.
Correspondence was read from Albert E. Arrington, Field Director, National
Campers and Hikers Association, 7027 South 131st Street, Seattle, who
encouraged use of the 1989 Federal Manual for delineation of wetlands and
supported the buffer zones recommended in the proposed ordinance. He also
suggested that larger buffers be determined by U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service and the State Department of Wildlife requirements.
Correspondence from Stephen Porter, Civil Engineer, Austin Company, 600
SW 16th Street, Renton, 98055; and Del Rowan, Corporate Public Affairs,
The Boeing Company, P.O. Box 3707, Seattle, requested the following
revisions to the proposed ordinance:
1) Designate the most current Federal document utilized by the Corps of
Engineers as the source for delineation of wetland standards.
2) Recognize function and value as the sole criteria for wetland mitigation
compensation.
3) Limit standard buffer zones to 50 feet.
Mr. Porter asked that the ordinance clarify the litigation land bank concept;
and Mr. Rowan requested that Council also consider adopting changes
previously suggested by Boeing environmental specialists.
Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, 98055, supported the staff's
recommendations for the proposed ordinance. He also commended Mayor
Clymer for his comments regarding the importance of wetlands in a recent
newspaper article regarding wetlands legislation.
Albert E. Arrington, State Legislation Field Director for National Campers
and Hikers Association, 7027 South 131st Street, Seattle, 98178, commended
the Planning staff for their efforts to incorporate public concerns in the
ordinance. He commented that the ordinance is a responsible compromise
between allowing development and protecting wetlands. He urged that the
Council adopt the draft Wetlands Ordinance without change.
Frank Powers, 2007 102nd Place SE, Bellevue, representing the Renton
Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee, expressed
appreciation to staff for its cooperation with the Committee, and stated that
the Committee:
?8
February 17. 1992 Renton City Council Minutes Page 78
1) Requested that the Federal mediation method and guidelines issued by
the Corp of Engineers in 1987 be used for wetlands delineation;
2) Is concerned about the issue of "taking" private property;
3) Supported transfer of the density credit;
4) Supported buffer averaging with a limit of 50 feet;
5) Supported the function and value concept;
6) Requested that economic impact be considered and recorded for future
changes in the Comprehensive Plan and in the rezoning;
7) Does not support requirement for property owners to maintain property,
wetlands, and buffers of adjacent properties;
8) Requested that predictability of cost impacts be provided by permitting
offsite mitigation of wetlands; and
9) Encouraged the mitigation bank for wetlands.
Everett Wilcock, 11830 164th Avenue SE, Renton, emphasized aquifer
protection and the importance of wetlands to aquifer recharge. He said that
the ordinance should be strengthened by reducing exemptions and requiring
replacement of Category 1 wetlands at a six-to-one ratio. He stated his
opinion that the proposed ordinance provides maximum protection, maximum
commercial development, and is the minimum amount of regulation needed to
be in compliance with Growth Management.
Del Rowan, Corporate Public Affairs, The Boeing Company, P. O. Box 3707,
Seattle, referenced Senate Bills 6254, 6255, and 6201 currently being
considered by the State Legislature which would affect local wetlands
legislation; and urged that the Council study this complex issue carefully
before making a final decision.
Jan Teague, Washington State Building Industry Association, Olympia, 4424
34th Avenue SE, Lacey, stated that the Association has initiated a lawsuit
against several cities and counties regarding wetlands legislation because it is
offended by State Department of Ecology efforts to use a grant program to
force local governments to adopt policies. She referenced earlier remarks by
City Attorney Warren regarding this case, and indicated that the stipulations
signed by Mr. Warren did not necessarily exclude the City of Renton from
future legal action.
City Attorney Warren reiterated that there were no strictures on Council
regarding consideration and decision on this issue.
Mark Stiefel, 22312 113th Avenue SE, Kent, 98031, speaking for Marty
Severe, Senior Director of Development, Glacier Park Company, 1201 3rd
Avenue, Suite 700, Seattle, 98104, said that the company supported buffer
width averaging, mitigation banking provision, and the variance process. He
urged consideration of the 10,000 square feet as the minimum area, and use
of the Corp of Engineers Manual to delineate wetlands.
Stephen Porter, Supervisory Civil Engineer representing the Austin Company,
913 North First Street, Renton, 98055, suggested the following:
1) Use of the current Army Corp of Engineers manual;.
2) Buffer zones limited to 50 feet;
3) Use of function and value for replacement and enhancement;
4) Clarification of mitigation land bank; and
5) Removal of sensitive area management tracts (Section 7.2).

February 17, 1992 Renton City Council Minutes Page 79
Speaking in favor of the ordinance were Norm Peterson, 3402 Park Avenue
North, Renton; Ray Griffin, 14306 144th Avenue SE, Renton, 98059; Renata
Beedon, 1725 Pierce Avenue SE, Renton; Scott Nangle, President of the Black
River Quarry Coalition, 14149 56th Avenue South, Tukwila, 98168; Curt
Martin, 3728 Park Avenue North, Renton; Gerry Adams, President of the
Audobon Society, 8028 35th Avenue NE, Seattle, 98115; Martha Parker,
18028 187th Avenue SE, Renton; and Roy Fournier, 4700 Talbot Road South,
Renton.
Julian Sayers, planning consultant representing Renton property owners, 1133
37th Avenue, Seattle, 98122, submitted a sketch depicting buffer averaging.
He supported:
1) Function and values concept;
2) Use of current Federal standards to eliminate duplication and conflicting
regulations;
3) Buffer averaging;
4) Variance process, but requested consideration of regulations that would
reduce the need for variances; and
5) Density credit though some density transfers may not meet other City
standards.
John Tynes, 33611 9th Avenue South, Federal Way, stated that he owns
property on South Talbot Road and suggested that the ordinance:
1) Does not encourage economic development and affordable housing.
2) Creates a net gain position because it mandates enhancement, restoration,
enlargement, and creation of wetlands.
3) Does not consider the balancing of economic and ecological
considerations.
4) Reflect 10,000 square feet minimum for wetlands, and 50-foot buffer
maximum for all categories.
5) Reduce the guarantee for mitigation and maintenance devices from five
years to one year.
6) Provide 100% density credit for transfer of the land take.
He suggested further that wildlife preservation be addressed by a separate
ordinance, and that an economic analysis of the ordinance be conducted.
Greg Schroeder, 2331 Talbot Crest Drive South, Renton, 98055, favored the
10,000 square feet wetland designation, and suggested that the regulations
include mosquito control in wetlands areas.
Norma Cugini, 611 Renton Avenue South, Renton; and Warren Diamond,
4914 Talbot Road South, Renton, 98055, expressed concerns about violation
of property rights, and urged that careful consideration be given to the
protection of the rights of all Renton citizens.

SPECIAL Bob Dyer, Project Engineer for the I-405 S-Curve Project, Washington
PRESENTATION State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), reported that:
WSDOT: I-405 S-
Curve Project Report 1) Bid opening for the I-405 S-Curve Project realignment contract is
scheduled for 3/25/92.
2) Construction of the third pipeline cutover will begin on 3/5/92 and
will take approximately two weeks to complete.
3) The existing detour at Mill Avenue South will be revised in March or
early April to allow completion of the remaining construction of
retaining walls between South 4th Street and Cedar Avenue South.
4) The retaining wall will cut through Mill Avenue which will be closed
between 4th Avenue and Houser Way permanently.
two 5) Traffic leaving Renton Hill via Mill Avenue South to downtown
Renton must turn right onto South 4th Avenue, turn left onto newly
constructed Cedar Avenue South and then turn left again to the
existing Renton Avenue South Detour. Traffic at Mill Avenue South
and Houser Way South will be able to continue straight through the
intersection or turn right onto Houser Way South.
6) This project must be completed before construction of the S-Curves
begins in the summer of 1992.
Council President Keolker-Wheeler made the following inquiries:
1) Is the turn on Cedar Avenue similar to the hazardous turn on Renton
Avenue?
2) Will the Cedar Avenue extension have concrete barricades?
3) Where is the secondary access for emergency vehicles?
4) How long will the alternative detour be the only access to Renton
Hill?
March 2 1992 Renton City Council Minutes Page 100
Mr. Dyer and Police Captain Don Persson, I-405 Project Coordinator,
responded as follows:
1) The turn on the Cedar Avenue extension is not as sharp nor is the
hill as steep as the Renton Avenue detour. The road and bridge will
be as wide as Cedar Avenue.
2) Concrete barricades will be installed on the side of the road abutting
the freeway wall, and sidewalk and gutter will be constructed on the
opposite side.
3) Secondary access for emergency vehicles will be provided from the
pipeline right-of-way or from Grant Avenue. If an emergency
occurs, the gate will be opened on Renton Hill to provide egress for
residents.
4) The alternative detour will be necessary for three or four years.
Responding to comments about ice and snow conditions, Mr. Dyer said
that the contractor checks daily, and will apply sand immediately to
endangered areas of the Renton Avenue detour when necessary. Captain
Persson also stated that City Street Maintenance personnel monitor the
ice/snow conditions on the detour and take necessary action as needed.
Captain Persson noted that preliminary notices regarding the revised Mill
Avenue South detour have been distributed, and encouraged input from
the Council and public regarding the project.
In response to Mayor Clymer's inquiries, Captain Persson said that the
Police Department will not allow construction vehicles to park in the area
along the curve in the Cedar Avenue extension. Mr. Dyer said that funds
are available to build the planned Cedar River bridge and the secondary
overpass on Cedar Avenue.
Ruth Larson, 714 High Avenue South, Renton, suggested that the City
not allow the closure of South 4th and Mill until the Fire Department has
ensured that emergency vehicles will have adequate room to maneuver.
Ms. Larson asked the following questions:
1) Who will have right-of-way on the frontage road?
2) When will lights be installed on Third Avenue? ..�.
Mr. Dyer responded that:
1) Flaggers will control traffic flow to ensure vehicle safety, one lane
will be open at all times, and right-of-way will always be provided
for emergency vehicles.
2) Lights will be installed where the Renton Avenue detour passes
underneath I-405 within the next two months.
Ms. Larson complained about a large pothole at the intersection of Mill
and Houser which will not hold patching because of the heavy truck use
resulting from the project, and asked why roads are not being repaired on
a continuous basis. Mr. Dyer said that WSDOT recognizes that road
maintenance is a problem, and that ongoing efforts are being made to
keep damaged roadways in good repair.
Councilman Stredicke urged that WSDOT fulfill its responsibility to City
residents by ensuring access to their homes and providing consistent
repair of damaged roads.

March 2. 1992 Renton City Council Minutes Parte 101
Ms. Larson noted that the State has agreed to maintain access from the
bottom of Renton Hill throughout the construction period.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and
Zoning: Resource published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened
Conservation the public hearing to consider the Resouce Conservation Zone/G-1
Ordinance/G-1 Zone (General Zone) Amendments. Planning/Technical Services Manager Kay
Shoudy introduced Jack Davis, district manager of the King County
Conservation District, who was available to answer questions.
Ms. Shoudy said that following hearings on annexation policies, the City
Council requested that an ordinance be developed to implement the
Growth Management Act urban separators concept, and that the Council
felt that areas within the Sphere of Influence should be annexed at lower
densities than presently allowed.
Ms. Shoudy noted that the City of Renton Zoning Ordinance does not
include a low-density residential zone suitable for semi-rural or urban
separator areas that would protect critical areas and resource lands
(agriculture, timber, mineral), and provide a rural lifestyle option. She
explained that though the G-1 zone provides for low-density residential
development with one dwelling unit per acre, the development pattern
does not maintain lot sizes adequate to protect critical areas, agricultural
uses or other resources, and presently allows unlimited agricultural uses
that may be inappropriate or incompatible near urban areas.
Ms. Shoudy said that an inventory of resource areas including
agricultural, timber, and mineral lands in the classifications defined in the
Growth Management Act indicated that such lands are found almost
exclusively in the Green River, May Creek, and Maple Valley areas. She
noted that although the Green River Valley has already been committed
to higher intensity urban uses, most of May Creek and Maple Valley
adjacent to City boundaries remain in low-density uses, and contain
critical, geologically hazardous, frequently flooded, and aquifer protection
areas.
Ms. Shoudy advised that the Growth Management Act requires that the
City and King County establish urban growth areas that include greenbelt
and open space corridors, recreation areas, wildlife habitat protection, and
connection of critical areas. The proposed Resource Conservation
Ordinance and G-1 Amendments will appropriately implement zones that
carry out the urban separator concept.
Ms. Shoudy recommended that a Resource Conservation Zone be adopted
to:
1) Provide implementing regulations for protection of open space and
establishment of a district in which commercial agricultural uses are
economically feasible.
2) Encourage or preserve a semi-rural residential lifestyle.
3) Allow limited commercial agricultural uses and timber or mineral
extraction as a conditional use to protect resource areas.
4) Protect environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands, aquifers,
steep slopes and floodways.
5) Limit agricultural uses to increase the compatibility of the zone with
higher density residential uses and sensitive areas.
102
March 2 1992 Renton City Council Minutes Page 102
6) Reduce the use of the G-1 zone as a holding zone and apply it
primarily in urban separators or permanent low-density residential
areas.
The proposed Resource Conservation Zone would:
1) Allow one single-family dwelling per 10 acres.
2) Limit commercial agricultural uses to crop raising and animal
husbandry.
3) Allow public and commercial gardens and greenhouses. 04
4) Allow private or commercial livestock uses with one large animal
permitted per acre except under a farm management plan.
5) Allow accessory dwelling unit for farm employees or family
members.
6) Permit bed and breakfast guest houses.
7) Permit timber harvesting on 80 acre parcel or greater, and mineral
resource recovery on 20 acre parcel or larger.
9) Prohibit uses that are not desirable in an urban/agricultural area.
10) Define performance standards for farms and septic systems.
11) Encourage transfer of development rights.
Ms. Shoudy also recommended that G-1 (General Zone) Amendments
include:
1) Limitation of agricultural uses on one acre lots;
2) Compatibility of the zone with higher density residential uses and
sensitive areas;
3) Reduction of use of the G-1 zone as a holding zone; and
4) Use of this zone primarily in urban separators and permanent low
density residential areas.
Ms. Shoudy said that the proposed G-1 zone would allow one single-
family dwelling per acre; non-commercial livestock and small animals;
one acre of pasture per large animal; expansion of prohibited uses which
might cause hazard or nuisance; definition of performance standards for
farm activities and septic systems; and encouragement of clustering.
Ms. Shoudy also stated that Washington State law (RCW 89.08) provides
for the establishment of conservation districts for technical assistance in
activities related to conservation of natural resources. The King County
Conservation District (KCCD) is a local political subdivision of the State
government that provides training and instruction on management
practices to improve water quality and productivity of land. She said the
services of the KCCD are available at no cost to local governments upon
petition for inclusion within the District.
Ms. Shoudy reported that the Planning Division recommended that the
Council adopt the Resource Conservation Zone and G-1 General Zone
amendments as proposed, and that the City petition for inclusion in the
King County Conservation District in order to obtain assistance with
implementation of the Resource Conservation Zone. (See Page 109 for
Resolution #2885).
Ms. Shoudy also advised that the zoning districts will not be established
on any parcels at this time, and that the process would be implemented
when the Comprehensive Plan has been adopted and appropriate areas
have been identified.

Councilman Tanner asked whether lands presently classified G-1 for
holding purposes would be declared resource lands, and if not, what
would designate such lands as being different than resource lands? Ms.
Shoudy responded that specific criteria would be developed to establish
property zoning. She said the Resource Conservation Zone would
generally be applied to critical and sensitive lands, and the G-1 zone
would apply to low-density residential zones. She stated further that the
proposed amendments would limit the G-1 zone in order to provide
compatibility with other residential zones.
Mr. Tanner suggested that the G-1 zone continue as a holding zone and a
new zone be developed so that properties in holding zones with the
potential for subdivision would not carry the conservation designation.
Councilmembers asked the following questions:
1) If the Council adopts this interim ordinance would properties with
subdivision capabilities classified G-1 be designated as resource lands
until such time as a rezone occurs under the Comprehensive Plan?
2) Would the G-1 zone disappear when the Comprehensive Plan is
adopted?
3) If the Resource Conservation Zone is adopted will it be used prior to
adoption of the Comprehensive Plan?
Ms. Shoudy responded as follows:
1) The Resource Conservation Zone is totally separate from the G-1
designation. The Comprehensive Plan will designate where the urban
separator is located and the G-1 and Resource Conservation
designations will be used as implementing zones in the urban
separator.
2) G-1 zoning would disappear since properties would be rezoned
according to appropriate use under area-wide zoning.
3) The Resource Conservation Zone would be implemented by the end
of December, 1992, along with other area-wide zoning.

099-91)
City Attorney Warren noted that if storm water retention is allowed in the
City right-of-way it would incur maintenance and liability
responsibilities.
Mr. Campbell said that he did not appeal the Hearing Examiner's
recommendation but was requesting that the Council's review City
policies regarding storm water retention in the public right-of-way. He
expressed his opinion that current City policy is causing unwarranted
expenditures for developers and is increasing housing cost. He claimed
that other local jurisdictions in the area allow storm water retention in the
public right-of-way.
Council President Keolker-Wheeler pointed out that the Hearing
Examiner's report did not contain anything that was inconsistent with
City policy, that the appeal period had expired, and that no appeal had
been filed.

NEW BUSINESS Engineering Specialist Mike Benoit reported that Mrs. Edward Eckerman,
Citizen Comment: 2131 NE 20th Street, Renton, must connect to the City sanitary sewer
Eckerman - Partial system due to a failed septic system. Mr. Benoit said that the sanitary
Payment City-Held sewer Special Assessment District (SAD) charge for the property, which is
Assessment, 2131 NE 19,442 square feet in size and can be subdivided, is not equitable for
20th St. single-family use.
Mr. Benoit recommended that the property owner be allowed to pay one-
half of the assessment and associated interest (equating to a 9,721 square
foot lot). Approval would be conditioned upon Mrs. Eckerman providing
a signed covenant, to be recorded against the property, requiring that the
remainder of the assessment, interest, and any additional interest accrued
be paid when the parcel is subdivided or developed at a higher density.
Responding to Councilman Edwards' inquiry, Mr. Benoit said that the
SAD and covenant will be recorded against the property and will not be
entirely released. Both items will also be included in the
Planning/Building/Public Works Department's computer data base, and
will appear on the record if any development application is received.
