CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and
Public Works: East published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened
Renton Interceptor the public hearing to consider the selection of a preferred alternative for
the East Renton Interceptor project.
Gregg Zimmerman, Utility Systems Director, presented a history and
review of the events leading up to the selection of the four interceptor
alternatives which include: East Maplewood alignment; South Highlands
alignment; West Maplewood alignment; and no action.
"' Dave Christensen, Wastewater Utility Project Manager, discussed the
three action alternatives.
East Maplewood Alternative (preferred): This selected route starts at
Bremerton Avenue NE and goes east along the NE 4th/SE 128th corridor
to 138th Avenue SE where it goes south through the existing single-
family neighborhoods. Selecting this route avoided a number of
environmentally sensitive areas.
South Highlands Alternative: This alternative will not be able to serve
the south boundary from SE 128th to the ridge. The service area would
be greatly reduced thus increasing the potential cost for each connection.
The route would start at 138th Avenue SE and travel west along the
NE4th/NE3rd corridor crossing under I-405 and connecting. The exact
connection has not been determined but it is anticipated to be near the
North Third Street corridor.
January 11 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 14
West Maplewood Alternative: This route is similar to the South Highlands
alternative except that the service area would include the area known as
the McMahon property and other vacant parcels along the south
boundaries. It would serve the same upper basin as South Highlands and
would not provide any service to the southern portion of the basin south
of SE 128th Street. The route would start at 138th Avenue SE, go west to
the King County Health Department site and proceed south, connecting to
the existing Metro Cedar River trunk line.
The following plans were reviewed to achieve consistency: the City of
Renton Comprehensive Land Use Plan of 1986; the updated Renton
Comprehensive Land Use Plan; the City of Renton zoning code; the City
of Renton aquifer protection ordinance; the King County Comprehensive
Plan of 1985; the King County General Sewerage Plan of 1985; the
Newcastle Community Plan of 1982; the King County zoning code; the
King County sensitive area ordinance; and the Washington State Growth
Management Act. It was determined that none of the alternatives would
comply with all of the existing documents because of contradictions
between the plans.
Mr. Christensen pointed out that once an alternative is selected, a
mitigation document will be published outlining the adverse impacts of
the preferred alternative. After the 20-day comment and appeal period is
finished and the project is approved, permitting and final design of the
preferred alternative will begin. Construction could begin sometime late
this year.
The five critical issues for selecting the preferred alternative for the
interceptor project include: removing the sewer moratorium for the
Heather Downs, Maplewood, and a portion of the South Highlands sub-
basins; providing aquifer protection; incurring the least cost per
connection; providing consistency with the Growth Management Act; and
increasing slope stability.
Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Christensen clarified that if the preferred
alternative is selected, the $2.6 million interceptor project funding would
come from the Public Works Trust Fund in the form of a 20-year loan at
a 2% interest rate. If another route is chosen, the City would have to
submit a revised plan and perhaps be re-ranked to a lower number.
The pay back figures were developed by estimating full development of
the entire basin. If full development does not occur, or the area is left in
a more rural character, then City reimbursement would come in the form
of increased rates within the City limits. Lynn Guttmann,
Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator, further explained that
SEPA requires a worst-case scenario be used when designing an
interceptor. In this case, the worst-case represents more connections.
The City Council has adopted conservation resource zones, and urban
separators will be maintained whenever possible.
Correspondence was entered into record as opposing the proposed East
Renton Interceptor from: Mr. and Mrs. Mark Quintinskie, 14403 SE 139th
Place, Renton 98059; Harold and Roxaine R. Reynolds, 13016 - 156th
Ave. SE, Renton 98059; W. Clark and Dana Phillips, 14001 - 145th Ave.

SE, Renton 98059, Warren F. Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton 98057;
George Porter, 13005 - 138th Avenue SE, Renton 98059; Mary Ellen &
Donald Hamblin, 13025 - 138th Avenue SE, Renton 98059.
Mr. Christensen explained that the planning of the preferred East
Maplewood alternative looked at the ultimate long-term benefits of the
interceptor. The east plateau area is within the active annexation area
and the urban service boundary that has been identified by the Growth
Management Planning Council for the County and supported by the City.
Lynn Guttmann, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator, further
clarified that community level planning of this project has not been done,
"'" but staff has been working with area residents and King County planning
staff. The area is not completely urban but the City should be providing
urban services instead of special sewer districts, and not developing the
area to rural standards.
Mr. Christensen reported that King County has plans to resurface 144th
Street and City staff is evaluating the possibility of bringing the sewer
line further on SE 128th to meet 144th. It appears to be more costly but
further study will be done. The proposed East Maplewood alternative
potentially would disrupt the SE 4th/SE 128th corridor and a portion of
138th as well as a segment of 144th Avenue SE. The West Maplewood
alternative would disrupt the area from 138th Avenue SE along the NE
4th/SE 128th corridor to the Health Department offices. The South
Highlands alternative would run from 138th Avenue SE along the NE
4th/SE 128th corridor and then crosses the I-405 corridor into the North
3rd Street area. Mr. Christensen further noted that the average depth of
the East Maplewood pipeline route would be between 20 - 25 feet; the
other alternatives go to about 30 feet.
Audience comment was invited. The following residents spoke in
opposition to the East Maplewood alternative: Ray Griffin, 14306 -
144th Avenue SE, Renton 98059; Everett Wilcock, 11830 - 164th Avenue
SE, Renton 98059; Dan Potoshnik, 13405 - 142nd Avenue SE, Renton
98059; Marlene Vickers, 13419 SE 141st Street, Renton 98059; Allen
Werner, 14238 - 143rd Avenue SE, Renton 98059; Andrew Duffus,
business address: 701 Sunset Boulevard NE, Renton 98056; Larry Vickers,
13419 SE 141st Street, Renton 98059; Liz Mencel, 13803 SE 144th Street,
Renton 98059; Jacquelyn Randall, 14603 SE 140th, Renton 98059; Paul
Lindberg, 13836 SE 131st, Renton 98059; Elizabeth Close, 13715 139th
Avenue SE, Renton 98059; Donald L. Johnson, 13649 - 140th Place SE,
Renton 98059; Versie Vaupel, P O Box 755, Renton 98057.
Citizen opposition to the East Maplewood alternative was for the
following reasons:
Newcastle Plan forbids sewers on the East Renton Plateau;
Traffic problems will occur with street closures;
Danger to the Renton aquifer is not because of septic systems, and
more danger could result because of sewers. Not enough supporting
facts.
Efforts will be duplicated in demolition and rebuilding affected
streets;
w
1
January 11, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Paste 16
Homes and property will be endangered because of the steep slope
due to potential slides;
There is no justification to build a sewer interceptor in King County;
Installation of sewer lines will encourage high density building;
Sewer construction is risky in fragile, environmentally sensitive areas;
King County Water District 90 has not been consulted;
In general, King County area residents do not want annexation or
inclusion in the City project.
Ray Griffin also expressed the opinion that the South Highlands
alternative would be preferred because Renton can gain: sewer capacity;
accommodate growth protection to the aquifer; lift the current sewer
moratorium; replace old sewer lines; minimize future traffic delays; and
locate the entire system within the City limits which would not require
county permits.
Dan Potoshnik also stated his preference for the West Maplewood route.
He felt that the route is much shorter and straighter; meets the Maple
Valley Highway Metro line at a closer point; provides better protection
for the aquifer in times of natural disasters; provides an easier slope to
the valley floor; is located within City limits for permitting control; and
avoids the downtown and I-405 area. He submitted a petition containing
an additional eight signatures opposing the East Renton Interceptor line
running through King County. (The original petition containing 10
signatures was presented at the 12/7/92 Council meeting.)
The following spoke in favor of the East Maplewood route: Ty Ribera,
14829 SE 128th, Renton 98059; Dean Tibbitt, 17003 NE 28th Place,
Bellevue 98008; Todd Woosley, Burnstead Construction Company, 1215
120th Avenue NE, Suite 201, Bellevue 98005; Paul Brandal, 1309
Sunnyside Boulevard, Everett.
Reasons given for preference to the East Maplewood alternative included:
Supports future growth and expansion of the area;
Recognizes the Renton sphere of influence;
Accepts mandates of State of Washington and the Growth
Management Act;
Takes advantage of available financing;
Serves the largest area within the urban growth boundary;
Provides the least cost per unit served;
Protects the aquifer;
Lifting the sewer moratorium will allow development and land sales
to proceed.
General comments were expressed by: Dick George, 13845 SE 131st,
Renton 98059; Brian Smith, 14805 SE 139th Court, Renton; Diane Krom,
14042 - 144th Avenue SE, Renton 98059; Kathleen Jett, 583 Kirkland
Avenue NE, Renton 98056. Questions and concerns were:
What is the project objective and what area is going to be served?
How will spillage be prevented?
Will all existing sewer problems be addressed by the new interceptor?
January 11. 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Paste 17
How will methods used in determining City cost reimbursement be
validated?
The sewer line will precede urban services planning.
What are estimated costs to connect to the line?
Will the proposed interceptor relieve the overloaded sewers in the
South Highlands area?
Recess MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS,
COUNCIL RECESS FOR TEN MINUTES. CARRIED. Time 9:28 p.m.
The Council meeting reconvened at 9:38 p.m.; roll was called; all members
were present.
In response to questions and concerns, Jeff Clayton, staff geologist for
RH2 Engineering, assured that no new weakness in the slope will be
created by the placement of the East Maplewood sewer line. There may
be some strengthening of this area because the line will allow the slope to
dry out. Excavation will be done when the ground is driest and
construction techniques will be used to minimize the vibrations. Mr.
Clayton also stated that the sewer line will be built to watermain
specifications and that water resistant materials combined with collars
around the pipeline will make it easier to identify seepage early. Water
in the deep and middle aquifer is being fed from higher up, not the
Cedar River. Testing and monitoring of the line will be done through
flow measurements and ground water testing.
Mr. Christensen clarified that the cost per unit described on the handout
represents the cost of the interceptor project only. Residential
assessments will not be made until hook-up is requested. Additional costs
for collection systems, side sewer connection, a city connection fee, and
permit fee will be incurred at time of hook-up. At this time only
residents living in Zone 1 of the City are required to hook-up to sewer
lines. All new single-family construction within 330 feet of a sewer line
and all new industrial/commercial construction are required to connect.

Councilmembers Stredicke and Tanner questioned Section 3.13.1 relating to
travel associated with the sister city program. Their objections were not
against the program, but to the inclusion of possible overseas travel by a
City official or their delegate since the resolution does not contain any
limitations on travel destination or associated costs.
In response, Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler clarified that there are
currently no funds available for entertaining sister city officials visiting
Renton. The main purpose of the resolution is to establish a non-profit
organization which would include the City, Lions Club, Renton School
District, other service clubs, and community members. Ms. Keolker-
Wheeler also noted that the city would not be required to pick up all
expenses for travel related to the sister city program, but some funding
should be available for attending functions outside the City. She further
explained that the resolution is a policy statement and that no City funds
will be spent with this resolution.
City Attorney Warren clarified that Section 3.13.1 specifies that sister city
funding activities will be limited to public purposes and that Council
controls its own budget. It was further noted that travel by a
Councilmember must first be approved by Council.
Councilwoman Nelson also stated that the City needs some type of formal
commitment to the sister city program so it is not construed as a matter
taken lightly by the City or Council.
*Following discussion, it was determined that this matter should remain in
Committee for further review.

MOVED BY TANNER, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, PUBLIC WORKS
STAFF MAKE A PRESENTATION ON RENTON/TUKWILA RAIL
OPTIONS. CARRIED.
Transportation: Regional Lynn Guttmann, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator presented
Rail System a position overview that will be proposed to the South County Area
Transportation Board (SCATBD) tomorrow. A brief review of the project
alternatives was conducted. After Council discussion, it was determined
that the City of Renton favors supporting Tukwila and its request to
realign the rail system from Highway 99 South to Interurban Avenue and
provide a direct link between Boeing/Longacres, Southcenter, and SeaTac
Airport. It was stated that this route would serve the largest number of
people at an incremental cost and provide a future link with I-405. It
also presents an opportunity for Tukwila and Renton to make a joint
statement about Boeing/Longacres, rapid rail, and could provide an
answer to economic development without impacting the area's overall
transportation system.
Ms. Guttmann further stated that the City will further support the
SCATBD position to: provide early emphasis on the transit service (HOV
lanes and capital improvements), and reduce the initial cost of the
proposed rapid rail alignment and its feasibility. It was noted that a
commuter line spur for Renton would benefit commuters as well as
freight transport utilizing the I-405 link.
Councilwoman Mathews also clarified that SCATBD will discuss the
various plans and then present their decisions to individual jurisdictions.
SCATBD plans to state its position to the Joint Regional Planning Council
sometime in February.

91-147 for site plan and special permit for grade and fill (SA;SP-91-147), located
at 600-620 Powell Avenue SW to construct a warehouse and office
facility.
The Committee determined that the Hearing Examiner's condition
limiting the hours of operation was not based on facts in the record, and
therefore, was a substantial error. Therefore, the Committee recommends
that the Council amend the condition imposed to reflect that once the
operation is open, if the City determines that an acoustical or other study
is necessary, then the hours of operation will be limited to 7:00 a.m. to
8:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, until the study has been completed.
If the results of the study show that there is a noise problem, the hours of
operation shall remain at 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,
until mitigation measures are in place. The Committee does, however,
want to address the issue of noise should noise on the site be a problem
after commencement of operation.
Therefore, the applicant shall execute covenants to run with the land in a
form agreeable to the City Attorney, which covenants shall insure all
aspects of the operation, including, but not limited to, bay door opening
and closing, forklift r,r x `ruck start-up and idling, backing, and
any other operah noise, meets all City ordinances and
codes including to, the Noise Ordinance, Title VIII,
Chapter 7. The ::;= : :.;. ;_;l coordinate all efforts relating to these
covenants with City staff. The applicant shall also provide a surety
device in the amount of $2,000 to insure that funds are available to

area to show both the Interurban and SR-99 alignments for
further evaluation;
b. Provide rapid rail service to the urban and employment center
sin Renton and Tukwila by 2015. Connect the east-west rapid
rail service from North Renton to the north-south rapid rail
line, with stations as generally depicted on Map B;

rail to North Renton until completion of the rapid rail service to
North Renton, at which time the use of the line will be
reassessed;
d. Provide a convenient connection between the east-west rapid rail
line and commuter rail system.
5. To achieve a positive vote in November, 1993, the JRPC should
pursue such alternatives as reviewing the total system plan phasing

utilizing other financing alternatives.

CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO
THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. CARRIED.
Audience comment was invited.
EAST RENTON AREA:
Howard McOmber Sr., 925-116th Ave. NE, Suite 100, Bellevue 98004,
representing businesses located in the area of NE 4th and Olympia
Avenue, urged that the area retain zoning which conforms to existing
business use.
Will Wolfert, Director of Planning Services, Barghausen Consulting
Engineers, 18215 - 72nd Ave. S., Kent 98032, spoke representing Atlantic �14
Richfield Company ARCO and Tum 1 m
p Y ( a u Lumber, located on NE Sunset
Boulevard near Duvall Avenue NE. It has been recommended that zoning
be modified from multi-family and neighborhood commercial (CN) to a
community commercial (CB) classification. Mr. Wolfert's clients support
the proposed zoning because it allows facilities to maintain their current
business status.
Jim Amandus, Highlands Community Church, 3031 NE 10th Street,
Renton 98059, advised that the Church property is currently zoned
commercial and it has been proposed for down-zone to single-family. He
requested that the current commercial zoning be retained.
Brad Corner, representing Renton's 5.76, a general partnership, 10900 NE
8th, Suite 900, Bellevue 98004, advised that property located south of NE
4th St. and east of 138th Ave. SE has been identified for construction of
a grocery store and requested that a lot depth of 600' be maintained for
the traffic flow. He also questioned the wetland designation on the site.
Adrian R. Sheely, 1312 Dayton Ave. NE, Renton 98056, expressed
concern over rezoning property located in the 1300 block of Dayton
0
Now
i
February 15, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 71
Avenue NE from low density single-family residential (R1) to single
family/up to 4 units mix (SF4). Mr. Sheely noted that the high elevation
is not suitable for apartments.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler clarified that property owners in this
area, which is located off of Edmonds Avenue, have requested that the
medium density single family (R3) zoning be maintained to be consistent
with the two apartment complexes located on either side. She further
noted that SF4 with a 35' height limit zoning has been proposed for this
parcel and that the multi-family section will not be extended any further.
Mr. Sheely clarified that the northerly property is narrower and is zoned
R3; property south of that the block is zoned R1 and the property owners
request this zoning be retained.
Allison Moss, Bogles & Gates, 601 Union St., Two Union Square, Seattle
98101, representing Quality Food Centers (QFC), for property located
south of 128th/NE 4th, east of 136th Ave. SE between 140th Ave. SE,
stated that QFC will need the 600' lot depth requirement for this
property, and requested that the community business center be extended
to the southeast portion of the East Renton study area #4.
Penny Eskenazi, 951 Lynnwood Ave. NE, Renton 98056, expressed
support of the single family zoning for the Highlands Church property
because this will allow for continued expansion of the Church, and noted
that most of those who requested higher zoning for the Church do not
live in this area. She further supported single family zoning designation
for the area south of 9th to NE 5th. Ms. Eskenazi felt that all new public
and private schools should be reviewed under the hearing examiner's
conditional use process as it provides an opportunity for public input and
due process.
Lloyd Hoshide, 833 Kirkland Ave. NE, Renton 98056, supported matrix
proposals number 1 and 6, and felt both would benefit the neighborhood
and the Highlands Community Church. He stated that changing the
Fairview Terrace designation to single family will align it with covenants
that currently exist. Mr. Hoshide supported conditional use review by the
hearing examiner for all schools, new or expanded.
Bob Gevers, 900 Kirkland Ave. NE, Renton 98056, opposed any
expansion by Renton Technical Center. He asked that expansion be
considered only when application is made for conditional use.
Mr. Gevers noted that conditional use permits for all schools, whether an
addition to an existing school, or construction of a new school, should be
reviewed by the hearing examiner. He stated that the term "school" is too
ambiguous. He also expressed support of proposals number 1 and 6 in
the interim zoning plan for East Renton.
Nicola Robinson, 3110 SE 5th St., Renton 98058, expressed concerns for
the undeveloped property located north of the Maplewood community.
This property is currently zoned resource conservation (RC) and the
residents support that zoning. She noted there has been speculation of a
proposed arterial connection between NE 3rd/4th and Maple Valley
Highway. Ms. Robinson questioned if an arterial would be permitted in
12
February 15, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 72
an area zoned RC and whether the zoning would be changed in the
future. The community residents request no roads connecting Maple
Valley Highway with 3rd or 4th because this will increase traffic and
create more gridlocks on Maple Valley Highway.
In response, Council President Edwards stated that final approval of
zoning will occur next year.
Judy Brown, 414 Monroe Avenue NE, Renton 98056, stated that existing
zoning for her property, located directly across from Renton Technical
Center, is multi-family. Her family has owned and operated an auto
service center since about 1954-1955. If the zoning continues to be
multi-family, the existing use would be non-conforming. She further
noted that the property is not large enough for an apartment complex.
Ken Heeter, 3055 - 112th Avenue NE, Bellevue 98004, representing
owners of the self-service storage facility located at 3408 4th St., Renton
on 4th between Monroe and 140th, expressed support of the EIS
conclusion that this study area should be part of the community center.
It is important that existing businesses and property in this study area
receive conforming zoning designations.
John Dobson, 6611 - 114th Ave. SE, Renton 98056, requested that his
property, which is located in the Maplewood business zone of lot 9, block
6, tract B, not be down-zoned from the current business designation. The
property is bounded by Maple Valley Highway, SE 6th, and a City of
Seattle.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler clarified that commercial use is being
requested for parcels currently zoned business district (B1).
Dan Baldwin, Texaco Refining and Marketing, 10602 NE 38th Pl.,
Kirkland, requested convenience commercial (CC) zone classification for
property located at 2904 Maple Valley Highway, which is at the northeast
quadrant of Maple Valley Highway and NE 5th, and is currently zoned
B1, business.
Kathleen Jett, 583 Kirkland Avenue NE, Renton 98056, requested that
conditional use permits be required for all school expansion and
construction within single-family neighborhoods subject to public review
by the hearing examiner to minimize their impact and insure
compatibility with the neighborhood. Ms. Jett further expressed support
of proposal amendment numbers I and 6.
Greg Huntley, Japanese Auto Parts & Service, 4233 NE Sunset Blvd.,
Renton 98059, expressed concern that there is no zoning designation for
automotive repair service as a primary use, only as a secondary. He
further noted that he has proposed to purchase property located on NE
30th and 1-405, a former Exxon gas station, for an automotive repair
shop.
Raymond LaBlanc, 11621 SE 47th Place, Bellevue 98006, owner of
approximately 12 acres of low to medium density, multi-family
residential (R2) and R3 zoned property located on Duvall Avenue NE,
73
February 15, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 73
bounded to the south by NE 6th, opposed the new comprehensive plan
designation of SF4, and further noted that property to the west and south
has been rezoned to R3.
KENNYDALE AREA:
David Sager, 1025 N. 28th Place, Renton 98056, requested that any stream
entering Lake Washington be designated a natural resource. He requested
single family/neighborhood center (SF/NC) zoning for the area near NE
30th in lieu of single family, and noted that the commercial zone at this
location has been overexpanded. Mr. Sager stated that the area is
y� bounded on all sides by single family residences, and he expressed the
opinion that the south boundary of the business center should be 100'
from 30th Ave. South. Concern was also expressed for conserving May
Creek as a wetland or greenbelt area 50 feet from the center of the
stream where it enters Coulon Park.
Skip Fresn, 40 Lake Bellevue, Suite 100, Bellevue 98055, representing a
property owner in the May Creek Valley area that is currently zoned high
density, multi-family (R4), opposed the interim plan proposal to down-
zone the property to single family, low density residential (SFL), and felt
the current environmental conditions and greenbelt ordinances sufficiently
protect the property.
Mike Bradley, Harper-Bond Inc., 1500 - 112th Ave. NE, Bellevue 98004,
represented property owners of the Traveller's Inn Motel, located on NE
44th and Lake Washington Blvd., and 1.78 acres of vacant land
immediately south of the Denny's Restaurant. Mr. Bradley noted that
both of these properties are currently zoned B1 but are proposed as CN
designations. His clients oppose these proposed classifications and request
the current B1 zoning remain in place because it better represents the uses
of the existing businesses. If the B1 designation is changed, arterial
commercial (CA) or arterial designation is preferred.
Mr. Bradley clarified that under the proposed CN zoning designation, 11
of 24 businesses would be non-conforming. Under the CA designation,
�.. two non-conforming businesses would result. It was further clarified that
the components that compose a neighborhood center are missing. Mr.
Bradley and his clients request either retaining the B1 designation or
placing the property under the CA designation.
Bob Fawcett, 305 - 2nd Avenue NE, Issaquah 98027, also representing his
mother Clarissa Berry, 4008 Meadow Ave. N., Renton 98055, spoke
concerning property located at the 44th Street interchange, bounded on
the west by I-405, east by Lincoln Avenue, north by 44th Street, and
south by 40th. Down-zoning the property from BI to commercial
neighborhood and mixed residential has been proposed; however, Mr.
Fawcett recommended the zoning be changed to either commercial arterial
or remain as the existing BI zone. The owners intend to build a high-
quality, clustered development, and mixed-use residential zoning would
disallow the proposed use.
Jackie Hightower, 2 Nickerson Street, #105, Seattle 98109, represented
owners of an eight-acre parcel located off of 110th which is accessed by
74
February 15, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 74
36th Street. Ms. Hightower stated that the parcel of land sits close to the
freeway, slopes northwest, and is bounded by May Creek on the south.
Split zoning, low density single family and single family, has been
proposed for this property. The parcel is dry and slopes toward the
commercial center, not May Creek, so low density housing is
inappropriate. Ms. Hightower noted that the owners request single family
zoning for this parcel.
Ms. Hightower requested clarification of the clustering ordinance, noting
potential conflicts in density allowances.
Ron Newhouse, 1201 - 3rd Ave., Suite 2200, Seattle 98101, represented
Shurgard Self-Storage in Kennydale which is located east of Denny's and
north of the Traveller's Inn. He noted that proposed zoning designations
would make Shurgard Storage non-compliant and he objected to any kind
of rezone that will not allow them to conform. Mr. Newhouse requested
retaining B1 zoning or some designation that would permit their business
to operate as a permitted use.
Carl Haglund, 3112 E. Harrison St., Seattle 98112, discussed proposed
zoning for property located at 4016 Jones Avenue NE, Renton, which was
rezoned about one year ago from single family to B1. This area is
primarily light industrial use and now residential zoning is being
proposed. Zoning designations of B1 or commercial arterial would be
preferred. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler clarified that there is a
problem with this area because the character changes quickly from
commercial to the sensitive areas along Jones. In response, Mr. Haglund
stated that vacant land exists to the south of his property where a logical
transition could be made.
Charles Deitsch, 3737 Park Ave. N, spoke concerning his business
property located at 4108 Jones Ave. N., Renton 98056, and agreed that
the transitional zoning for this light industrial use area should be drawn
at 40th because a street is proposed at this location, and the property to
the south and on both sides of 40th is owned by King County. He
requested either BI or CN zoning for this area.
CENTRAL/WEST HILL AREA:
Rod Stephens, Attorney at Law, 111 Williams Ave. S., Renton 98057,
representing residents of the North Renton area, expressed concerns over
four areas. 1) Area south of North 6th. This area is bounded by Boeing
to the north, and south is a single family/single family-4 area. The
proposed zoning designation is mixed use office. Mr. Stephens stated that
North 6th is a very wide major arterial that is subject to congestion
during peak periods. Citizens are concerned that placing mixed use office
designation on the south of North 6th will increase traffic during the
peak hours. Citizens request single family-4 along this area. 2) Area
along Cedar River. This area is approximately one block, and is bounded
to the west by Williams, east by Wells, and north by North First Street.
Mixed residential zoning designation has been proposed for this area and
the citizens request single family residential designation except for the
existing duplexes. 3) Area on North Fourth between Factory and Garden.
Concern is not the SF4 designation, but the degree of the designation.
Ono
i
February 15, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 75
The citizens propose an SF4 buffer between North Fourth and the area
south of North Fourth that would be 1-2 lots deep; not the proposed 4-5
lots. 4) Area along North Second between Factory and the alley near
Park. The area along the south side of North Second has been designated
mixed commercial, which would contain some industrial uses. This area
is primarily residential in character and the North Renton residents prefer
this area to remain single family residential. The residents further
request that Renton's single family residential neighborhoods be
preserved.

family dwelling located at 425 Williams Avenue North, opposed the
proposed down-zoning of her property. She requested SF4/mixed
residential (MR) zoning. Mrs. Swartzwelder expressed concern that
blanket zoning changes without physically checking the properties will
omit several existing duplexes and create non-conforming uses.
Beverly Franklin, 537 Williams Ave. N., Renton 98055, expressed concern
that zoning requests for SF4 have been combined with commercial zoning
designations in the same area, located on Williams Avenue North, just
south of North 6th. These designations should be separated to give a
more accurate picture. Ms. Franklin stated there were no citizen requests
for commercial zoning in this area.
Ira Franklin, 537 Williams Avenue North, Renton 98055, clarified that
the residents of Wells and Williams already have problems with public
parking, etc. and do not want mixed use office or commercial zoning for
the three lots located south of North 6th.
Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton 98055, expressed
concern that high density zoning will create more traffic in this area. Ms.
Richter noted that she approves of most of the Planning Commission's
recommendations, but does approve of a transition in the area from
residential to commercial. She requested that the area remain designated
single family residential with conforming duplexes or grandfathered in.
She further clarified that the North Renton area residents are against
division into sub-areas.

Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton 98057, expressed concerns over
several issues. 1) SF4 versus duplex zoning. Ms. Vaupel questioned how
parcels designated SF4 will be subdivided. She stated that if there are to
be a certain number of units per acre, and existing lots are only 40-50
feet, problems will arise when one single family house can be upzoned to
a 4-plex, and the house next to it cannot. 2) The south portion of the
area located by the Cedar River should be SF/4-plex. 3) Area east of
Park. There were a number of citizens who requested single family, but
20 wanted some type of change. 4) The area by Cedar River. Every
resident of that area signed a card stating that an SF1 designation or, in a
couple of cases, duplex would be acceptable.
Ms. Vaupel requested that the residential lots be used as buffers between
North Fourth and the area south of North Fourth. She further stated that
existing conforming residential uses should be grandfathered in, and
expressed opposition to any future zero lot line development.
Ms. Vaupel noted that the R2 zoning designation on the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) is low density, not medium
density.
Ms. Vaupel entered letter from Peter Eglick & Associates, Attorney, Suite
1212, Bank of California Building, 900 Fourth Ave., Seattle 98164, stating
the Growth Management Act does not require that a zoning map be
prepared concurrent with adoption of a comprehensive plan.
Jonathan King, 401 SW 13th, Renton 98055, expressed concern as the
only owner-occupant of property bounded to the north by Grady Way,
SR-167 to the east, I-405 to the south, and Lind Avenue to the west. He
requested that existing vacant lots be reclassified as single family
dwellings, particularly if they could be developed for owner-occupied
housing. Mr. King expressed concern with absentee landlords and land
speculators who have purchased the few remaining single family homes
and allowed them to become run down.
Bob Raphael, Service Linen, 903 South 4th Street, Renton 98055,
expressed objection to some parts of mixed commercial (CM) zoning
which allows commercial business expansion up to only 50% of the
existing size. Mr. Raphael requests at least 100% limit, if there has to be
one at all, to allow for growth and expansion. He further requested that
the word "contiguous" be removed from the designation to allow for
expansion in another location. Their current site will not allow any type
of expansion and he requested some provision in the secondary use
category if a business cannot meet the imposed conditions.
Mike Forrester, 15445 S. Fairwood Blvd., Renton 98058, expressed
concern for property located at 1522 North Brooks, Renton 98055, which
is being operated through a special use permit. The property is currently
zoned R2, and single family has been proposed. Mr. Forrester noted that
the property is not appropriate for single family residents as it is bounded
by light industry district (L1) zoning on one side and business on the
other and the lot is not large enough to construct a similar use.
i
February 15, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 77
It was noted by Council that there is currently R2 zoning on the property
and that the community group has suggested R1, single family zoning
designations. It was further clarified that under a conditional use permit,
if an owner wants to sell the property in question, it is subject to an
administrative determination whether or not the new buyer can continue
the same business. It was clarified that all correspondence and
information received regarding the Comprehensive Plan is being noted by
Council for further review.
VALLEY AREA:
... Ric Anderson, represented Lowe Enterprises, Inc., 2201 6th Ave., Seattle
98103, owners of the Washington Technical Center, located at 7th and
Powell, and the FAA building, both of which are zoned commercial
office, stated that his clients are concerned that day care centers are not
being allowed as either primary or secondary use under the commercial
office (CO) zone. There is a day care located in the Washington
Technical Center park that would become non-conforming, and Lowe
Enterprises is working with the FAA building administration to construct
an on-site day care facility. Mr. Anderson further noted that day care
was removed from the last two interim zoning drafts, and requested that a
distinction be made between day cares supporting businesses versus day
care centers operating separately.
SOUTHEAST RENTON AREA:
Steven Wood, 1501 - 4th Avenue, Seattle 98101, representing North
American Refractories (NARCO) which owns the brick factory, pointed
out that NARCO is taking the factory out of production and the current
zoning is industrial. The interim zoning proposal designates this area as
planned office/residential (POR) which is acceptable except that the POR
zone does not allow light industrial uses on this site. Mr. Wood explained
that the property is bounded by hillsides, embankments, and the river,
and would be ideally suited for a number of uses. POR zoning has been
requested with secondary light industrial uses. Mr. Wood's clients further
oppose the CO designation as this would not accommodate any type of
residential construction.
Lila Campen, 4908 Talbot Road S., Renton 98055, owner of 20 acres on
Talbot Road, expressed concern regarding proposed zoning at the top of
the slope. This area was originally designated as single family residential,
but has since been changed to low density single family. Ms. Campen
requested that the top of the slope be designated for single family homes. "
Councilman Tanner stated that at the neighborhood meeting the map
showed low density single family extending only to the top of the slope.
The draft EIS shows low density extending all the way to the flats and he
requested staff clarification. In response, Mary Lynne Myer, Principal
Planner, clarified that the intention is to designate the flats as suitable
only for single family housing.
Jerry Edlund, 409 Evergreen Building, 15 South Grady Way, Renton
98055, stated that his family has operated a landscape business on their
property at 937 Carr Road since 1950. It was recently annexed into the
FS
February 15, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Paize 78
City and zoned R1, which does not allow continued compliant operation
of their business. Mr. Edlund requested commercial or light industrial
zoning for this property, and noted that the area was originally intended
to be low density before it was zoned R1. He stated that his family owns
over 20 acres of land, but the landscaping business is located on about
four acres on the south side of Carr Road and is the only portion within
City limits.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
Joyce Kling, Lane Powell, 1420 5th Ave., Seattle 98101, representing the
owners of Cascade Estates, a multi-family complex at 11th and Union,
endorsed the proposed community center designation for property located
in the Sunset Blvd./Union Ave. area. She noted that the density of this
complex is higher than what would be permitted in a neighborhood center
designation. She further stated that one portion of the property is now
zoned R3, and she requested multi-family zoning at the community center
level for that site.
David Halinen, 800 Bellevue Way NE Suite 376, Bellevue 98004,
indicated he represents several clients:
1) Henderson Homes, for property located east of the Talbot study area.
Mr. Halinen expressed concern about the location of the transition
area from low density single family to single family designations.
2) AnMarCo and M.A. Segale for Monterey Terrace and McMahon
property. Mr. Halinen pointed out that the McMahon property has
been purchased by M.A. Segale. He further noted that a conceptual
plan will be presented at a later time.
3) Stoneway Concrete, proposed heavy industry interim zoning
designation. Currently all industrial zones list concrete bashing as an
administrative conditional use. Stoneway requests this activity as a
heavy industry principal use.
Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Halinen expressed concern that land use and
zoning designations of office/residential use proposed for the Stoneway
site on Maple Valley Highway will cause the existing heavy industrial use
to be non-conforming. He requested that the site remain classified as
industry because redevelopment costs will be expensive and the owners
need assurance that zoning complies with the use.
4) Stoneway Rock & Recycling Black River Quarry. Industrial-heavy
(IH) has been proposed for 60% of the westerly area of this property
which lies outside the City limits and would require annexation. The
easterlyportion f
p o the e site has been tentativelymapped low density
Pp
single family with proposed resource conservation which is in an area
where King County permits have already been issued. Stoneway
requests that the entire area be zoned heavy industry.

Audience comment was invited.
CENTRAL/WEST HILL AREA:
Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton 98057, submitted a memorandum
clarifying three of her comments made at the 2/15/93 public hearing.
First, the SF-4 zoning does not go down well for already-platted small
lots that have been built on, and who gets the 4-plexes in any
redevelopment process if the City sticks to the 10 or 12 units per acre.
Second, the North Renton community does not want multi-family of any Not
kind on the residential side of Cedar River. Most people don't want high
rise or high density on the south side either, because that would impact
the river which is rather fragile now well as impacting the residential area
on the north. The smaller office units there now between Williams and
Wells are good-looking, well-kept, and have low impact on the residential
area. Third, the area east of Park; although there were approximately a
number of rezone requests, there was a far greater number of people who
wanted single family.
Margaret & Ralph Robertson, 235 Garden Avenue North, Renton 98055,
expressed concerns about the business located on the corner of Bronson
and Garden Avenue North, extending from Bronson to Second. She
reported that the business is parking vehicles on the street for periods up
to 12 hours at a time, and the sidewalk on the east side of Garden is
lined with debris which combined are deteriorating the neighborhood.

February 22, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 89
Fred Businello, 208 Meadow Ave. N., Renton 98055, submitted
correspondence and requested Council not consider the expansion of
Bryant Motors because of its location on the aquifer and the risk that
petroleum products and solvents will eventually seep into the water table.
Bob Joyce, 1910 Jones Court SE, Renton, representing St. Anthony's
Parish, 406 S. 4th, Renton, recommended that churches should be primary
permitted uses and that accessory and parking uses must be preserved as
primary permitted use as well.
Susan Carlson, Interim Director, Downtown Renton Association, 903
South Third, Renton 98055, requested definition of the downtown core
area and its densities. Ms. Carlson recommended that an economic
feasibility model be developed to assist the economic impacts on
development such as building height, setbacks, lot area coverage, and
parking requirements.
David Osaki, 411 - 108th Ave. NE, Bellevue, representing Puget Power,
submitted correspondence requesting more time to review the new zoning
code either through another public hearing or the extension of the written
record of the public hearing for an additional week. He questioned
definitions contained the proposed interim land use element regarding
utilities.
Del Rowan, P. O. Box 3707, Seattle 98124, representing The Boeing
Company, concurred with proposed Alternative 1, Volume 1, C-21.A, and
recommended its adoption.
Jennifer Brock, 205 S. Tobin Street, Renton 98055, stated that her area,
the Airport Way study area, is still a viable single family neighborhood.
She suggested that since none of the existing alternatives encourage
residential uses, perhaps the proposed commercial zoning should
accommodate residential uses. Alternative 1, existing zoning, has business
infringing on the residential neighborhood; Alternative 2, proposed
arterial commercial (CA) zoning, eliminates any residential use in the
area; and Alternative 3, allows commercial/single family mix and does not
�•• comply with existing land use since it eliminates three homes, a nine-unit
apartment complex, and existing duplexes.
Ms. Brock suggested an alternative designation of single family/up to 4
units mix (SF4) with existing businesses permitted along Airport Way
either through current zoning or a conditional use permit. She also
proposed that business buildings left vacant for more than six months be --
subject to official condemnation and zoning reverted to R1.
Arthur Wood, 1510 N. Brooks Street, Renton, opposed business or
commercial zoning of property at 1522 N. Brooks St.
Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton 98055, referenced
property at 1522 N. Brooks Street, and questioned enforcement of a
conditional use permit for businesses located in a single family residential
area. In response, Councilman Stredicke clarified that once a property is
zoned, it does not revert back to original zoning unless the property is
rrwr
�V)
February 22, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 90
rezoned by Council. Land use compliance is enforced by the code
enforcement officer for the City.
Beverly Franklin, 537 Williams Avenue North, Renton, 98055, submitted
a letter and comment sheets representing 28 residential property owners
on Wells Avenue North and Williams Avenue North, north of North 6th.
The majority of residents want single family zoning with no further
business encroaching on their neighborhood. She clarified that there are
six apartment houses and four duplexes in the 500 block of Wells Avenue
North and Williams Avenue North.
Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton 98057, stated that the property
locaod at 1522 North Brooks is zoned low, multi-family residential (R2)
with special permit use.
Janene Edgerton, represented PS Business Park, 879 Rainier Avenue
North, Renton, 98055, located on the west side of Rainier across from the
airport. She opposed the proposed CA zone which will continue to make
the existing business non-conforming. The business park has seven light
industrial suites, and the CA zoning designation does not permit light
industrial. Ms. Edgerton suggested a CO designation which would
conform to the existing use.
EAST RENTON AREA:
Jim Dalpay, P. O. Box 2436, Renton 98056, referenced property located
at NE 12th and Union Avenue NE and described existing land uses in the
area. He stated that neighborhood business was originally proposed for
this property, he requested B1 zoning, and it is now proposed MR or SF4.
Mr. Dalpay further clarified that the neighborhood center extends east of
Duvall and includes adult movie theater, and questioned why a self-
storage business is not appropriate land use when an adult theater is a
conforming use.
Cornelus Gevers, 900 Kirkland Avenue NE, Renton 98056, expressed
concern that if primary and secondary administrative conditional uses are
added to the zoning codes, the hearing examiner's review, which is the
source for mitigation, will be removed.
Recess MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS,
COUNCIL RECESS FOR TEN MINUTES. CARRIED. Time 9:25 p.m.
The Council meeting reconvened at 9:35 p.m.; roll was called; all members
were present.
Bill Perry, 800 - Fifth Ave. #366, Seattle 98104, represented Debra
Perry, owner of three acres along Devils Elbow Road in northeast Renton.
This property is currently zoned RI, and SFL has been proposed, with
the surrounding property designated single family. Mr. Perry requested a
single family designation to conform with the surrounding five parcels.
John Anthony, P. O. Box 5213, Everett 98206, representing Port Quendall
property owners, expressed several concerns about the POR designation
and the zoning process: the proposed density of 16-25 dwelling units per
acre should be modified to 30-35 units to allow the developer more
February 22, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 91
design flexibility; the proposed retail gross floor area of 11,000 - 25,000
square feet is not a viable size for a modern retail store; contiguous
development under the POR zoning designation will be difficult to
enforce; the height restriction for the POR designation requires
modification. He requested that Council allow more time for the zoning
process.
Colin Quinn, 3318 - 239th Avenue SE, Issaquah 98027, represented
property owners of a proposed 165 unit condominium project referred to
as "The Bluffs," which is located east of Coulon Park. This property is
designated single family in interim zoning document and the developers
r.. propose to cluster units to protect environmentally sensitive parts of the
site. After an EIS was prepared, R3 zoning was recommended by the
hearing examiner for this site in January, 1993. Mr. Quinn expressed
concern that the current zoning process is not considering currently
pending applications before the City, and if adopted as proposed, will
create a non-conforming development.
Dana Warren, M. A. Segale, Inc., P. O. Box 88050, Tukwila 98138,
representing M. A. Segale, Inc., for property referred to as the McMahon
property located south of NE Third, and David Halinen, 800 Bellevue
Way NE, Suite 376, Bellevue 98004, representing AnMarCo, adjacent to
the McMahon property, stated their clients have requested
office/industrial zoning and request a revised zoning designation to
accommodate a mobile home park. They expressed concern that the
trailer (T) zone is within the SF designation and not a zoning designation
by itself. They agreed with proposed resource conservation (RC) zoning
for the south portion of the property.
KENNYDALE AREA:
Jim Hanken, 1420 - Fifth Avenue, Seattle, submitted correspondence
representing J. H. Baxter, Barbee Mills, and Quendall Terminals, and
requested: a public hearing be held on the definition section; the term
marina be amended to water-related, water-dependent purposes;
contiguous development be allowed within the POR zone; and existing
industrial uses be recognized as primary permitted uses and proposed
transitional use.
Councilman Tanner requested an opinion from the City Attorney as to the
legality of adopting a combined interim comprehensive plan and interim
zoning ordinance effective for only three to six months.
Vincent Abbey, 9005 - 21st Ave. NW, Seattle 98117, owner of property in
the northwest section of Renton, located east of the trailer court on Lake
Washington Blvd. and west of the old railroad right-of-way, stated that
this property has been designated single family residence. He requested
multi-family zoning to conform with property to the north, west and
south.
Raymond LaBlanc, 11621 SE 47th Pl., Bellevue 98006, owner of property
at the northeast corner of Duvall Ave. NE and NE 6th Street, stated that
SF/4 has been proposed for this site. Mr. LaBlanc expressed concern that
'fir
I
February 22 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 92
his 192-unit project, which has received site pian approval for R3 zoning,
will become non-conforming under the new zoning designation.
In response to Council inquiry, Mr. LaBlanc clarified that the property
does conform with the current comprehensive plan, and R3 zoning has
been requested and approved by the hearing examiner.
Councilwoman Mathews requested that staff review the number of
properties with pending applications that will be preempted by the new
comprehensive plan or interim zoning code.
Sally Scott, 1405 N. 28th Street, Renton 98056, referenced property
known as Eldon Acres currently zoned single family. She stressed the
need to protect this sensitive area by designating it either low density or
protected.
Clem Heath, 1605 Boylston, Seattle 98122, owner of property at 4308
Jones Ave. NE. on the southeast quadrant of Exit 7, stated that proposed
zoning for this property is neighborhood commercial (CN). He requested
general commercial, more mixed use designation to assure compatibility
with existing uses and character of the area and the Growth Management
Act; and because the proposed designation creates non-conforming uses
for which financing is unavailable.
SOUTHEAST RENTON AREA;
Warren Diamond, 4914 Talbot Road South, Renton 98055, representing
the Talbot Road development land owners, urged Council to consider
everything citizens are saying and concur with alternative 1,
recommended by the consultant, which allows 24 units per acre.
Bud Tynes, 33611 - 9th Avenue S., Federal Way, suggested that
Alternative 1, in the Talbot Road area, be modified to allow 40-50 units
per acre instead of 20-30 units per building of three and four stories in
height. He stated that alternative 2 is not feasible because a 2,000 square
foot residential lot would not even accommodate a single-wide mobile
home if you provided required parking. .ot
Sarah McDonald, P. O. Box 1825, Renton 98057, owner of property at
1600 Grant Ave. South, Renton, stated that her current zoning is G1. She
stated that an offer to purchase her property has been made contingent
upor, approval of 45 unit zoning which was granted in 1990 by the City
planner; however, due to the location of power lines on the property, -
development potential has been decreased.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler questioned the G1 or single family
designation for this property since it is virtually surrounded by multi-
family use.
Todd R. Woosley, 1215-120th Ave. NE, Suite 201, Bellevue 98005,
representing Burnstead and Talbot Road property owners group,
questioned when action will be taken on the Talbot Road study area and
if a public hearing to discuss zoning will be held. Mr. Woosley requested
rMl
r
February 22, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 93
that small utilities be designated a primary or secondary use and not an
administrative conditional use for a classification.
Walt Austin, 1300 S. Puget Drive #413, Renton 98055, submitted
correspondence representing the Renton Elks Lodge, located at 1600 Eagle
Ridge Drive, and stated that owners are currently trying to sel the B1
zoned property; however, the property has been proposed multi-family
(MF) designation. MF is not feasible because of the Puget Power
easements, Bonneville Power easements and contour of the land. Mr.
Austin requested CA zoning which would leave it similar to the existing
use, and noted the reason for relocating the Elks Lodge is reduction in
membership.
Jack Roberson, 1326 S. Central, Kent 98032, representing the Renton
Elks Lodge, located at 1600 Eagle Ridge Drive, stated that the Elks need
to sell this property to purchase a smaller location in Renton. The
proposed multiple family zoning is not a viable alternative and he
requested the existing zoning be retained.
VALLEY AREA:
Robert Cunningham, 5540 Lake Washington Blvd., Kirkland 98033,
represented Puget Western as land owner and OPUS Corporation as co-
developer of 34 acres of land located at the northwestern intersection of
East Valley Highway and 27th Street. He submitted correspondence and
requested that the property be rezoned from the current manufacturing
park designation to light or medium industrial, or designated commercial
office as a secondary use, and not heavy industrial as proposed.
In response to Council inquiry, Mr. Cunningham stated that light
industrial designation will not be appropriate for all uses because two of
the five proposed office buildings will not conform.
Marco de Sae Silva, Davis Wright Tremaine, 2600 Century Square, 1501
Fourth Avenue, Seattle 98101, represented the Seattle Times for property
located north of 34th Street between Oakesdale and Lind, adjacent to
ai Springbrook Creek. He stated that if the interim zoning code is adopted
in the present form, it would prohibit building the proposed printing
production facility consisting of a 433,000 square foot printing production
facility and a 250,000 square foot administrative headquarter.
Mr. de Sae Silva noted that the proposed code places a limit on office size
in the industrial zone, and he asked Council to review and remove this
restriction for all industrial zones. Office size limitations in the code are
commercially infeasible and will deter businesses from locating their
headquarters in Renton.
Mr, de Sae Silva noted that the Times property has been designated both
medium industrial (IM) and heavy industrial (IH). He requested a single
zoning designation of IM for the entire parcel and the adjacent property
so that the entire area between Oakesdale and Lind is designated IM.
Brad Olson, property manager for the Seattle Times, 1120 John Street,
Seattle 98109, stated that when the Times purchased the 34 acre site in
r.r
ll,A
February 22. 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 94
1991 for its southern production and office facility, site plan approval
and site work were done conforming to the manufacturing park (MP)
designation for the property which allows joint development of
production facilities and office buildings.
Mark Stiefel, 22313 - 113th Ave., NE, Kent 98031, representing Powell
Development Company property located at the intersection of East Valley
Highway and SW 41st Street, requested that commercial arterial (CA)
zoning replace the proposed convenience commercial (CC) zoning
designation. The property will be developed into smaller retail and
banking facilities which would include drive-through services to
accommodate the high-volume vehicle traffic and the industrial- NA
employment base. The CC zoning designation will allow some of the
uses, but if drive-through facilities are not allowed, then the developer
would not be able to use the site as proposed.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
Chris C. Leady, 2000 - 124th Avenue North, Bellevue 98005, submitted
correspondence and referenced two separate properties. The first, the
Parker property, located at 2800 Royal Hills Drive, has proposed RC
designation and is divided into four parcels containing approximately 96
acres. Mr. Leady requested single family designation for parcels 1, 2, and
3; and MF for parcel 4 for the development of a 307-unit apartment
complex.
The second site contains a self-storage facility, and is located in the 4500
block of Sunset Blvd. It is currently zoned BI and has been designated
CN or CB, which will make the business a non-conforming use.
David Halinen, 800 Bellevue Way NE, Suite 376, Bellevue 98004,
submitted correspondence and commented on three separate properties.
AnMarCo, owned by Gary Merlino and located on East Valley Road
between SW 23rd Street and SW 41st Street, is proposed IH and the
owners are requesting CA designation. The IH designation would allow a
proposed waste recycling processing center and would make the business
center developed by Mr. Merlino non-conforming. If CA is not the
preferred zoning designation for the entire block, Mr. Halinen requested
that the Merlino property be given that designation. The CA designation
is preferred over the CO zone because it allows certain types of retail uses
that would not be permitted under the CO designation.
Black River Waste Reduction Center, owned by AnMarCo, and leased to
Rabanco Company, is located along Beacon Coal Mine Road. The area is
proposed for IM zoning, and AnMarCo is requesting IH for this parcel.
They also request that the IH designation extend to Beacon Coal Mine
Road so their adjacent property, located in King County and tentatively
zoned single family, may be annexed into Renton in the future.
Henderson Homes, is a proposed single family housing development
located above Talbot Road. Mr. Halinen previously expressed concern
about low density versus single family density for this area and noted that
the topographical map is being revised by the Planning Division.
Martin Seelig, P. O. Box 1925, Bellevue 98009, proposed that: 1)
language in Chapter 2, Visions, of the draft interim land use element be
February 22, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 95
added to include future variances; 2) existing businesses located at exit 7
in east Kennydale not be designated CN as it would make them non-
conforming; 3) verbiage in policy 7.7, be changed to read that intensive
office developments should be located in areas with immediate access to
an interstate or state route, or located on principal arterials; 4) verbiage in
policy 8.3 should state that parking should be provided on-site, outdoor,
at grade or in parking structures, and buffered from adjacent uses not
allowed in this area.
Roger Blaylock, 10717 NE 4th St., Suite 9, Bellevue, representing Kohl
Excavating for property located on East Valley Highway, stated that if
the area east of East Valley Highway is zoned arterial commercial or
office commercial, his client's property containing a construction storage
yard would become non-conforming. Kohl Excavating also owns
property just south of PS Business Park on Rainier Avenue North which
has been proposed single family. A CA designation for this property will
not meet all the business needs and Mr. Blaylock requested that Council
view the proposed land use designations as transitional to allow for
change.

SPECIAL Tom Madden, Project Engineer for Washington State Department of
PRESENTATION Transportation (WSDOT) I-405 S Curve project, reported that Mill
WSDOT: I-405 S Curve Avenue will be paved on 3/2. Northbound I-405, between North Third
Project Update and SR-900, will be paved on 3/3 followed by paving of the area
between North Third and SR-169. Exit 4b will be closed for four weeks
beginning 3/15, and the loop ramp will be closed for about seven weeks.
Steel girders are expected to arrive on 3/22 with night closures and night
shifts anticipated during this time.
moo
Mr. Madden noted that the Exit 4a (northbound I-405 in the Carco Park
area) off-ramp will be moving further south and east causing a traffic
switch, and northbound I-405 traffic will soon be moving to the new east
portion of the freeway. There will be an evening closure of SR-169 on
3/11 to install a storm line.
In response to Council inquiry, Mr. Madden clarified that two noise
complaints have been received by WSDOT. When complaints are
received, the cause is determined and then appropriate action is taken to
reduce or eliminate the problem.
Ruth Larson, 714 High Avenue South, Renton, requested that WSDOT
replace the dividing lane lines coming down Renton hill, and the stop
lines located at the bottom of the hill. Ms. Larson questioned when the
side, calk and asphalt in the area that was used as a back entrance to
Cedar Avenue South will be replaced because it extends into the street
and causes traffic problems. In response, Mr. Madden noted that the area
will be repaired when the parking lot is finished. Ms. Larson also asked
why a fire hydrant is located in the middle of the sidewalk on Third,
about 30 to 40 feet from the stop sign on Renton hill.

Sandy Webb, 430 Mill Avenue S., Renton 98055, requested that the
directional sign located on Mill Avenue at the bottom of the hill be
moved north of its present location to provide better visibility. Mr. Webb
also requested that the sidewalk, curbing, and askew meter boxes in front
of his building that were damaged due to construction and vehicle
parking, etc., be repaired at same time the cut out portion is replaced.
AUDIENCE Howard McOmber, 925 - 116th Avenue NE, Bellevue 98004, requested
COMMENT that the City determine how many businesses will become non-
Citizen Comment: conforming under the new areawide zoning provisions before finalizing
rr McOmber - the plan.
Comprehensive Plan
Citizen Comment: Vaupel Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton 98057, stated that the areawide
- Comprehensive Plan rezone should not straighten out non-conforming uses and give them
legality, but should create zoning classifications for predominantly single
family areas which maintain or reduce the present balance of multi-
family to single family residences; and maintain pedestrian amenities in
neighborhoods and decrease vehicle traffic. Ms. Vaupel further requested
that an inventory be taken in North Renton of the existing uses for each
lot using two lists and two maps each for single family and multi-family
residences. These lists would define the presently conforming and non-
conforming zoning uses and how the uses should be handled; it would not
make existing legal and conforming uses non-conforming.
Citizen Comment: Miller Fred Miller, 375 Union Avenue SE, #184, Renton 98056, requested that
- Comprehensive Plan, the Elks property, located at 1600 Eagle Ridge Drive, Renton, retain its
SE Renton current BI zoning designation.
Citizen Comment: Evans Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11 th Place, Renton 98056, questioned the status of
- Cedar River Dredging, the Cedar River dredging project. In response, Jay Covington, Executive
Utility Taxes, Assistant to the Mayor, clarified that all documentation and requirements
Clarification have been submitted to the Corps of Engineers and the City hopes to
receive a permit by 3/15. The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe has not
responded to the joint letter written by The Boeing Company and the
City, and it is not known what future action will be taken by the Corps.
Referencing President Clinton's proposed new consumer energy tax on
British Thermal Units (BTU), Mr. Evans requested that the City tax only
the base rate for electricity and natural gas, and not the adjusted rates.
Mr. Evans clarified information contained in City Attorney Warren's
memorandum to Mayor Clymer in response to Councilman Stredicke's
request of 2/21, included in the Administrative report of 2/22/93.
Citizen Comment: Teall - Clarence Teall, 17322 - 38th Place South, SeaTac, requested that the B1
Comprehensive Plan, SE zoning designation for the Elks property located at 1600 Eagle Ridge
Renton Drive be retained. It was clarified by Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler
that the BI commercial zoning designation will be eliminated city-wide
and will be replaced by different categories. She suggested that a copy of
the draft interim zoning code (2nd revision) be obtained to determine
which zoning classification would best fit the Elks property.
March 1. 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 106
Citizen Comment: Roger Blaylock, 10717 NE 4th Street, Suite #9, Bellevue 98004, requested
Blaylock - that properties with existing restrictive covenants be evaluated as part of
Comprehensive Plan review of the Comprehensive Plan and areawide zoning.
Citizen Comment: Gevers Bob Gevers, 900 Kirkland Avenue NE, Renton 98056, requested that

REPORT. CARRIED.
Plannine & Referred 2/8/93 - Planning & Development Committee Chairman
Development Stredicke stated that the Committee reviewed the request of Clement
Committee Heath to consider revising the required landscape easement for properties
Planning: Interlake located at 3308 Jones Avenue NE.
Christian Church,
3308 Jones Ave NE The property at that location had been rezoned in 1961. A condition of
Rezone Request the rezone was imposed that required the owner to record a covenant to
retain a 25-foot landscape easement on the east side of the site. The
rezone was granted in Ordinance 1926.
Subsequent developments on the site were approved, and the plans drawn
for those developments showed the 25-foot landscape easement.
However, at some point a tenant on the property was allowed to install a
parking facility which encroached on the 25-foot landscape easement by
11 feet.
Interlake Christian Church, currently a tenant of Heath Properties, has 'r
applied for site plan approval for a church facility at the subject
property. The site plan approval incorporates use of the parking facility
which had previously been installed; therefore, the applicant requested
modification to Ordinance 1926, changing the landscape easement on the
east side of the site to 14 feet.
The Committee held this report for two weeks to allow the applicant and
the property owner time to notify the adjoining property owner of the
proposed landscape easement change. The applicant has provided proof
of the notification to staff.
The Committee recommended that Council approve the requested
modification to reduce the easement to 14 feet. The Committee also
recommended that the owner be required to record a covenant, which
meets with the approval of the city attorney, and preserves the landscape
easement on the east 14 feet of the subject property. This condition will
be in addition to the conditions imposed by staff on the site plan.

Annexation: Newport Councilman Stredicke requested an update of the Bellevue and Newport
Hills Hills annexation. Jay Covington noted that Renton and Bellevue have
adopted different sphere of influence boundary lines. A letter is being
written to the City of Bellevue which addresses two annexation proposals:
one is outside of Bellevue's sphere of influence line, and the other is
technically within both sphere of influence lines. Both Bellevue and
Renton have gone on record opposing any new incorporation effort in
that area because the tax base of a small city would not support city
services.
Mr. Covington further noted that any action will require Council approval
and that the process may involve Renton Council and Planning
Commission working with Bellevue officials and area residents to
determine a logical sphere of influence or boundary annexation line.

SE Renton Eagle Ridge Drive, Renton.
Citizen Comment: Lila Campen, 4908 South Talbot Road, Renton, requested a zoning
Campen - Comprehensive designation that will accommodate 24 units per acre for her property, and
Pian, SE Renton asked for clarification of the total minimum number of acres necessary
for this designation. Ms. Campen noted that she owns a 20-acre parcel
on Talbot Road but only 10 can be developed.
i
Councilwoman Mathews requested staff to clarify the number of acres
required for the 24 units per acre zoning designation.
Citizen Comment: Clapp Bill Clapp, 9010 NE 10th Street, Bellevue, spoke on behalf of Paula
- Comprehensive Plan, Swanson, owner of property located at 5020 Talbot Road, Renton, and
SE Renton expressed concern that the proposed SF4 mix zoning designation
discriminates against the small landowner. Ms. Swanson owns six acres
and requests 24 units per acre designation for her property.
Citizen Comment: Todd Woosley, representing Talbot Road property owners and Burnstead
Woosley - Comprehensive Corporation, 1215 - 120th Avenue NE, Suite 201, Bellevue 98005, stated
Plan, SE Renton that if the City ordinance requiring a site plan review for any parcel over
20 acres is combined with stringent design standards, attractive multi-
family developments would be insured and a master plan would not be
required.
i
Mr. Woosley referenced the comment made by Bud Tynes at the 2/22/93
meeting and clarified that Mr. Tynes requested a zoning designation of 24
units per acre for his property.
Mr. Woosley asked if the selected interceptor alternative will serve the
70-acre parcel owned by Burnstead Corporation located on 128th and
156th. If it will not, he questioned City plans to service that area with
sewer in the future, noting that the soils will not percolate.
Citizen Comment: Warren Diamond, 4914 Talbot Road South, Renton 98055, requested r.r
Diamond - multi-family, up to 24 units per acre, zoning designation for his property
Comprehensive Plan, SE as presented in Alternate I which was recommended by the EIS
Renton consultants.
Citizen Comment: Richter Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton 98055, stated that
- Special Permit at 1522 residents of the North Renton area are opposed to spot zoning and one-
N. Brooks way arterial routes in their neighborhood. Ms. Richter submitted a
petition with 51 signatures opposing the improper use of the present R2
zoning for property located at 1522 North Brooks and the proposed
chemical abuse center or clinic at this site. Residents also urged that the
special permit which allows the current use not be transferred to another
owner or use.
Citizen Comment: Roger Blaylock, 10717 NE 4th Street, Suite 9, Bellevue 98004, felt that
Blaylock - because the City has a strong site plan ordinance in place, a master plan
Comprehensive Plan, SE is not necessary. Any project in the City that is over four units goes
Renton through an administrative process for site plan review, or to the hearing
examiner. He also suggested that the hospital be designated as a higher
density due to its size.

Citizen Comment: Vaupel Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton 98057, expressed support of the
- Special Permit, 1522 N. petition submitted by Marge Richter and stated that continuing to
Brooks approve the special use permit for business use at 1522 North Brooks
would be an injustice to area residents. Ms. Vaupel asked if a special use
permit can continue under change of ownership and requested a
definition of the uses, limitations, and expiration of a special use permit
in a residential area.
Citizen Comment: Tibbott Dean Tibbott, 17003 NE 28th Place, Bellevue 98008, stated that the East
- East Renton Interceptor Maplewood route for the interceptor project should be chosen because it
is in alignment with the boundaries of the urban growth line and the
am geophysical boundary of the drainage basin, and would serve a larger area
at a lesser hook-up cost. Ms. Tibbott asked Council to consider the
benefits of cost effectiveness, versatility, and what better serves the
immediate needs of the entire area before making a decision.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler gave Mr. Tibbott a copy of the
memorandum from Lynn Guttmann, Planning/Building/Public Works
Administrator, presented at the Utilities Committee meeting to explain
the selection of the West Maplewood route.
Citizen Comment: Sarah McDonald, P. O. Box 1825, Renton 98057, submitted
McDonald - correspondence requesting reimbursement from the City for delays

Citizen Comment: Webb - Sandy Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton 98055, stated that Mill

Citizen Comment: Melody McCutcheon, 1221 - 2nd Avenue, Seattle 98101, representing
McCutcheon - Enterprise,Rent-A-Car, requested neighborhood commercial (CN) zoning
Comprehensive Plan, SE for the property located at the corner of Benson and Puget Drive. Ms.
Renton McCutcheon stated that Enterprise is willing to enter into a covenant with
the City to address concerns for future development of the parking lot
area. She also noted that a topographical change between the parking lot
and the multi-family development, a six-foot high solid fence, five feet
of landscaping, and a 20-foot fire lane should provide ample buffer
between the two developments.
Citizen Comment: Rowan Del Rowan, Renton liaison for The Boeing Company, P. O. Box 3707,
- Comprehensive Plan, Seattle 98124, submitted correspondence and requested that Alternative 1
Central/West Hill for the North Renton study area be approved with an adequate buffer
provided between businesses and the existing single family neighborhood.
However, he objected to the designation of commercial/office buffer in
the area south of N. 6th Street between Park and Logan since it would
impact single family housing which should be protected.
Citizen Comment: The following residents of Newport Glen and Pembrook Meadows,
Proposed Annexation located north of the Renton limits, opposed annexation to the City of
Renton, and questioned why the area is included in the City of Renton
sphere of influence. They noted that petitions have been circulated by
area residents with over 80% supporting annexation to the City of
Bellevue. The citizens contended that: Bellevue provides this area more
amenities than Renton; the Newport Hills area should be kept intact and
not divided; and that SE 69th, not SE 64th, is the logical separator
between the cities.
Speaking in opposition were: Col. Carl G. Davaz, 6600 - 117th Avenue
SE, Renton 98056; Bill Baber, 6628 - 113th Place SE, Renton; David

(CB) zoning designation. It was clarified that this property will be
discussed at the 3/29/93 Committee of the Whole meeting.
Citizen Comment: Beverly Franklin, 537 Williams Avenue N., Renton 98055, requested that
Franklin - the buffer area south of N. 6th Street be only three lots deep and the
Comprehensive Plan, MF/SF-4 designation be maintained. She stated that rezoning the larger
Central West Hillsix-lot strip to SF-4 will result in higher taxes for the homeowners in this
area.
March 22, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 141
Citizen Comment: Tynes John Tynes, 33611 - 9th Avenue S., Federal Way, stated that ordinances
- Comprehensive Plan, adequately protect sensitive areas and that adding an urban separator
SE Renton zoning overlay will create over-regulation in some areas and under-
regulation in others. Mr. Tynes further expressed the frustration of
Talbot Road area residents with the Comprehensive Plan process, and
objected to the need for residents to react to each new study.
Citizen Comment: Smith John Smith, 11418, - 142nd Avenue SE, Renton, requested an amendment
- Comprehensive Plan, to the second revision of the Draft Interim Zoning Code to allow for the

- Comprehensive Plan, North Renton area as north of the Cedar River from Bronson Way to
Richter Lake Washington, and from Cedar River to Sunset Highway. Ms. Richter
stated that light and heavy industry, rental properties, and heavy traffic

TO OLD BUSINESS, PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
REPORT. CARRIED.
Planning & Development Referred 3/8/93 - Planning & Development Chairman Stredicke presented
Committee a report stating the Committee met on 3/25/93 to discuss the appeal of
Rezone: Forrest Creste Nancy L. Johnson of hearing examiner's decision dated 1/18/93 and the
Rezone and Site appeal of Raymond A. LaBlanc of hearing examiner's decisions dated
Approval, Duvall Ave 1/18/93 and 2/16/93 regarding the Forrest Creste rezone and site plan
and NE 6th St, R-88-093 approval (File No. R;SA-88-093).
With respect to the LaBlanc appeal, the Planning & Development
Committee felt that the appeal issues concerning the installation of NE
6th, the phasing of the project, and the duration of the site plan approval
are all items that can be handled through application of existing City
�r codes. NE 6th can be deferred or waived, if appropriate, under existing
procedures established by City code. The project site plan. has a duration
established by City code of two years, with the possibility of a two-year
extension. Appellant LaBlanc's issues can more appropriately be
addressed through application for a site plan extension if necessary. Mr.
LaBlanc's remaining issue concerning the masonry or brick fence is the
subject of a split Committee recommendation and will be dealt with last.
The hearing examiner's report tied the rezoning to this site plan. It is the
basis of the Committee's recommendations on these appeals that the
rezone be predicated on this site plan. If there is no development within
two years, or whatever time frame that might be established under an
extension of the validity of the site plan, then the rezone right is lost. If
that occurs, Council will be required to hold a public hearing to
downzone the property, or through the appropriate process, consider a
new site plan for the property. Staff is directed to calendar this matter in
such a fashion as to report back to Council if the site plan approval lapses
so Council can schedule the necessary follow-up actions.
The Committee reviewed the appeal of Nancy L. Johnson and heard
argument from her. Following consideration,the Committee recommends
i 0 z.
April 5. 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Pan 154
that Council find no error in fact or law with the hearing examiner's
decision as it relates to the Johnson appeal issues. This recommendation
is the unanimous recommendation of the Committee. There is a majority
and minority report immediately following.
Majority Report:
The hearing examiner recommended that there be a long-lasting,
aesthetically pleasing, acoustical fence between this project and the
single-family residences located to the north and east of this project. The
applicant had included in his site plan submittal, a sight-obstructing wood
fence. The examiner concluded that for noise purposes, the fence needed
to be constructed of masonry or brick. The Committee recommended that
the developer be permitted to use a wood fence provided that the wood
fence meets the examiner's criteria that it be long-lasting, aesthetically
pleasing, and acoustical. The Committee was informed by the applicant
that there were restrictive covenants on the property which would require
maintenance of the fence. The Committee was also advised that there
was a requirement to install dense, mature landscaping to create a dense
barrier between the development and the single-family residences, that
the landscaping was to be maintained under a bond, and that it would be
sprinkled. The Committee was led to believe that the landscaping would
be of a type that would create a dense landscaping barrier similar to that
located along the western edge of the Renton Technical College site. The
majority of the Committee therefore recommends that Council determine
there was an error in fact in the examiner's decision to require a masonry
or brick fence, as the criteria established by the examiner for that fence
can be met with a properly-designed and installed wood acoustical fence.
Minority Report:
I recommend that the examiner's condition requiring a masonry or brick
fence not be reversed. There is generally not enough buffering between
multi-family sites and the adjoining single-family housing, or for that
matter between various single-family developments. There is no proof
that a wood acoustical fence can meet the criteria established by the
examiner that it be long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing and acoustical. I
therefore recommend that Council affirm the hearing examiner's
requirement concerning installation of a masonry or brick fence.
Moved by Stredicke, Seconded by Tanner, Council concur in the
Committee report with the minority report.*
Mr. Combs stated that he and his client concur with recommendation of
the Planning & Development Committee with regard to the LaBlanc
appeal, and the majority report concerning the fence.
Councilman Tanner clarified that he seconded the motion accepting the
minority report because a wood fence cannot effectively block noise. He
further noted that wood fences are acceptable for site barriers but not
noise barriers, and he objected to questioning the judgment of the
hearing examiner.
Councilwoman Mathews stated that since the meeting correspondence had
been received from Dan Boetcher, 12202 - 140th Avenue SE, Renton
98059, opposing the rezone, and that at the request of the Planning &
Development Committee, staff clarified that a wood fence can be an
acoustical barrier, but it must weigh at least two pounds per square foot,
must be of sufficient height, and must not have any cracks or openings
April 5. 1993 Renton Citv Council Minutes Page 155
including along the base. This type of barrier has been previously been
used in the City.
Councilman Stredicke noted there are no restrictions in the examiner's
recommendation stating the type, age, or placement of the landscaping
vegetation that must be used. He further noted that there is no protection
for residents along Duvall Avenue; a barrier is only required along two of
the property lines.
Mr. Combs noted that the property setbacks range from 195 feet to 70
feet with a 70-foot setback on the north. He further clarified that the
' hearing examiner did require dense mature landscaping and an acoustical
fence. *ROLL CALL: 2 AYES: Tanner, Stredicke; 5 NAYS: Edwards,

COMMITTEE REPORT AND MAJORITY REPORT, AND THE
RECORD INCLUDE THE CORRESPONDENCE FROM STAFF,
DATED 4/5/93, REGARDING CRITERIA FOR ACOUSTICAL WOOD
FENCES.*
Councilman Stredicke asked the City Attorney whether correspondence
submitted on 4/5 can be matter of record for Planning & Development
Committee meeting occurring on 3/25. In response, Assistant City
Attorney Fontes clarified that the correspondence can be added because
the substance of the report is not affected by the correspondence.
Councilman Stredicke stated that June Huson spoke to him expressing
concern about the barrier between her home and the multi-family
development located on NE 44th Street above the Denny's Restaurant in
the Lake Washington/Kennydale area. She stated that the developer
failed to install required fencing and landscaping around the perimeter of
the site. *CARRIED.
Mayor Clymer noted that he will review the concerns of Ms. Huson.

Citizen Comment: Nancy Johnson, 14035 SE 122nd Street, Renton, stated that her property
Johnson - Forrest is adjacent to the Forrest Creste project and that she and her neighbors
Creste Appeal, R-88- had appealed the project. She noted that the existing single family
093 residences will have R3 zoning next to them without a masonry wall as a
buffer. The proposed R3 zoning is above the density suggested by the
old comprehensive plan and the justification for the density was a
proposed community shopping center whose concept died. Mrs. Johnson
requested Council deny the site plan and the rezone and commit to
responsible growth with true transition between zones.

Planning & Development Referred 3/22/93 - Planning & Development Committee Chairman
Committee Stredicke presented a report stating the Committee met on 4/14/93 to
Appeal: K-Mart Site consider the appeal of the hearing examiner's decision dated 2/8/93 by
Approval Expansion, 440 K-Mart Corporation for property located at 440 Rainier Avenue S.
Rainier Avenue S, SA-
92-139 The applicant sought site plan approval to upgrade and expand existing
retail department store from 110,000 square feet to 127,671 square feet
which will include an auto care center. Applicant also seeks a conditional
use permit for an outdoor garden shop.
The applicant appealed two of the conditions imposed by the hearing
examiner: (1) additional street trees along Shattuck Avenue and all
boundaries of the site (Condition No. 4); and (2) the facade on the back
of the building should mirror the front of the building (Condition No. 9).
The Committee found that there was no substantial error of law or fact as
it relates to the additional trees (Condition No. 4). The Committee did
find that the hearing examiner committed an error of fact as it relates to
.,rt
1.87
April 26, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 187
the facade on the back wall of the building. The City does not want to
encourage patrons to access the site from Shattuck Avenue due to
problems with the traffic pattern on the site with the new auto care
center. Additionally, this is an existing building with which the City has
lived for many years. Therefore, it is error to now try to impose these
requirements for the back of the building.
As the City is requiring street trees on Shattuck Avenue, there is no need
to impose additional requirements to the facade on the back of the
building, except for paint and screening or removal of the HVAC units
located on top of the building. The applicant must notify the Planning
Department staff whether the HVAC units are active; if so, they must be
screened.
Therefore, the Committee recommended that Council reverse the decision
of the hearing examiner as it relates to the facade of the back of the
building (Condition No. 9), and further recommended that Council affirm
the decision of the hearing examiner as it relates to street trees (Condition
No. 4). MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-

the re-opening of the I-405 on-ramp from SR-169 and Exit 4b has been
delayed because of weather. Mr. Madden also noted that: the next
traffic switch is scheduled for mid-May at the north end of the job site
from the viaduct across the river and up to the existing off-ramp;
northbound traffic lanes across the new bridge should be finished in mid-
June; after the new ramps are re-opened there will be three nighttime
closures of SR-169 and three nighttime closures of 3rd Street to demolish
the center portion of each structure; Carco Road has been closed to
vehicle traffic during the day but is open for pedestrians at all times for
the relocation of a high pressure gas line; and, the viaduct spans will be
placed in the Cedar River the last two weeks of July.
Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Madden clarified that all nighttime noise is
monitored by WSDOT and a copy of the report is transmitted to Paul
Lumbert, Transportation Engineer.
At Council request, Mr. Madden will submit the following information to
Council: plans for ramp metering devices on SR-167 and SR-169; a copy
of the State study on ramp metering; the type of noise variances being
requested for the SR-167 widening project; the name of the SR-167
project managers; scheduled time frame and plan coordinating the traffic
diversions for the I-405, SR-167, and SR-169 projects; and the exact
number of nighttime closures necessary for the SR-169 and 3rd Street

position opposing ramp metering.

Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler asked for clarification of the reporting
procedure for nighttime disturbances and resident relocation if the noise
is intolerable. Mr. Madden clarified that there are numerous noise hotline
numbers posted along the S-Curve project. When there is nighttime
construction, all telephone calls go directly to site and, if possible, the
inspector will stop the problem. If no one is on the job site, the call is
redirected to a secondary contact.

Citizen Comment: area located south of N. 2nd Street. Ms. Richter commented that area

reconsideration process. Council President Edwards responded that a

Comprehensive Plan, of commercial zoning for lots in the North Renton area. He stated that a
Central/West Hill neighborhood cannot heal and grow if it is abutted by commercial
enterprises such as Bryant Motors. Mr. Igelmund asked that Council
focus on alternatives such as larger setbacks, SF4 zoning, site plan
approval process, and the rezone process if a commercial enterprise
wanted to locate within that area.

Separate Consideration Administrative Services Department requested approval of an ordinance
Item 7.b. regulating cable television systems, and an ordinance granting TCI, Inc. a
Franchise: TCI Cable 15-year cable TV franchise. Major items included in the ordinances are:
Extension increase of franchise fee from 3% to 5% with a broader revenue base
(estimated increase of $120,000/year); public access TV studio facilities to
be shared by South King County cities; TV production equipment for
Council Chambers; City channels to allow broadcast of Council meetings
and other video programming; and closed circuit system for public safety
and schools. Refer to Community Services Committee.
Councilman Tanner entered into a record an article that appeared in
Nation's Cities Weekly, entitled "FCC Adopts a Customer Service Standard
for Cable TV Operations Nationwide" which pointed out that cities or
franchisers must give cable companies a 90-day written notice of their
intention to enforce new rules. It stated that cities or franchisors have
the authority to enforce additional requirements over the customer service
standards adopted by the FCC, but that the standards must be applied by
the franchisors.
Councilman Tanner also expressed concern that out of the 36 channels
provided by TCI, only one channel is dedicated to two of the area's
largest minorities: the black community and the hispanic community. He
felt that TCI should be compelled to allocate one channel to each of the
minority communities.

CORRESPONDENCE Correspondence was received from Brian Kisling, Barghausen Consulting
Citizen Comment: Engineers, Inc., 18215-72nd Avenue South, Kent 980323 (property known
Kisling - as Tum-A-Lum Lumber Company, located at the corner of NE Sunset
Comprehensive Plan, Boulevard and Duvall Avenue NE). He requested that the word
East Renton "permitted" be deleted from Section D.9.a. of the neighborhood
commercial (CN) zoning designation to read: "Outdoor storage must be
screened from adjacent properties and public rights-of-way."
Citizen Comment: Correspondence was received from Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 16367,
Vaupel- Lemay, MO 63125, expressing concern about the proposed commercial
Comprehensive Plan, zoning designation of property located south of N. 2nd Street between
Central/West Hill Factory and Garden Avenue N., adjacent to the established single-family
neighborhood. Ms. Vaupel noted that: commercial zoning designation
across the street from single-family residences is inappropriate; a single-
family area is created but it is bounded on the south by commercial; the
commercial designation does not have any reasonable height restriction;
transitional uses are necessary between commercial and single family
zones; no restrictions are in place for noise, shift work, commercial
traffic ingress and egress, or design standards; the aquifer protection
ordinance has not been considered when designating a commercial zone;
and, the zoning designation is a violation of Resolution 2708.

May 3, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 200
Upon Council inquiry, Council President Edwards clarified that
correspondence regarding the Comprehensive Plan is referred to the
Committee of the Whole to maintain it in the record. He stated that the
final Comprehensive Plan will not be adopted for one year and there are
a number of elements that need to be addressed such as transportation
and utilities.
Comprehensive Plan: Councilman Tanner entered into the record an article in Pool Line,
General published by Association of Washington Cities Risk Management Service
Agency, which pointed out a recent court case decision for land use
between Lutheran Day Care and Snohomish County. The article stated
that if due process is not followed, a municipality is liable for damages.

Parks: Maplewood Golf Referred 4/5/93 - Community Services Committee Chair Keolker-
Course League Fees, Wheeler presented a report stating that handicapped parking at the golf
Wiemann course has been a problem that will require on-going monitoring and
action on staff's part. A reasonable solution to this problem is not
anticipated until the clubhouse and parking area are relocated.
Charging player fees for merchandise is common practice with
tournaments. In the case of Maplewood, $4.00 per player is used for
merchandise which is handed out to players as prizes, and $1.00 per
player goes to our concessionaire for the costs associated with setting up
the respective tournament.
Because league members have not consistently shown up for reserved tee
times, the golf course has lost revenue and reduced its ability to offer
vacant tee times for public use. The Community Services Committee
recommended Council approve staff's monitoring of this situation for
1993 and take appropriate action as needed in 1994 to correct any
documented problems. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,

Comprehensive Plan: Councilman Stredicke requested that the Administration give Council
General guidelines for establishing site plan review, setbacks, or access
preservation for specific properties. He also noted concern regarding
properties for which conditional use permits or covenants have been

Citizen Comment: Key - Councilman Stredicke stated that he is in receipt of a complaint from
Construction Noise Robert and Rosemary Key, 1008 Anacortes Avenue NE, Renton 98059-

The neighborhood has experienced problems with the construction which

a City law mandating hours of commercial operation in a residential area.

NEW BUSINESS Council President Edwards questioned the status of the Cedar River Delta
Public Works: Cedar project. Jay Covington clarified that the dredge project was denied by
River Delta Project the Corps of Engineers because the alternatives for placing the fill were
not fully explored. Based on the information the Corps received, they
suggested the City review the possibility of using the Elliot Bay disposal
site which has been already been approved through SEPA and NEPA as a
disposal site. The City has revised its application to the Corps and is now
waiting for approval for a three-year permit to remove approximately
115,000 cubic yards to Elliot Bay. The total cost of the removal has not
been determined. Mr. Covington further noted that The Boeing Company
has withdrawn their permit application for the fill project but continues
to support the City's dredge project. The Department of Natural
Resources has earmarked money in their biennial budget for this project
and letters have been sent to the legislative delegation urging support of
the project.

SPECIAL Gregg Zimmerman, Utility Systems Director, stated that in 1991 a Water
PRESENTATION Quality Study was conducted to assess Renton's water quality and to
Utility: Drinking Water indicate where Renton was in relation to the new water quality
Quality requirements. Greg Kirmeyer, Economic and Engineering Services, Inc.,
was introduced and informational packets were handed out.
Mr. Kirmeyer reviewed the Water Quality Study conducted by his firm.
He stated that the study was conducted to address the new drinking water
regulations; review new sources of water supply; continue to be on the
forefront on water quality issues; and maintain public confidence in the
drinking water. The study found that Renton has good water quality
monitoring in place and the systems are well maintained and operated,
but improvements need to be made on the water quality. Mr. Kirmeyer
stated that the priorities should be: support of the aquifer protection
program; compliance with the surface water treatment rule; compliance
with the lead and copper rule; aesthetics and blending of water; and
disinfection/disinfection by-products.
The estimated capital cost of the health and regulatory improvements will
be $1.8 - $10.5 million with an additional $0.1 - $0.5 million/year for
operation and maintenance. The estimated capital cost for aesthetic
improvements will be $6.6 - $11.6 million with operation and
maintenance expenses of about $0.4 - $0.8 million/year. The estimated
figures will be adjusted once the State determines whether the Renton
water sources are considered ground water or surface water. In addition
to these costs, Mr. Kirmeyer noted that an additional $150,000 - $200,000
should be budgeted for monitoring, equipment, and pilot studies.
In response to Mayor Clymer's inquiry, Mr. Kirmeyer clarified that
according to the Environmental Protection Agency and State schedules, all
treatment centers, filtration systems, and compliance with chemical rules,

General extensive public processes were conducted:
1. Over 200 meetings were held by the Renton Planning Commission

Comprehensive Plan (maps and policies);
2. Ordinance amending the Zoning Classifications of property within the

COMMITTEE REPORT AS AMENDED.*
Council President Edwards stated that the Committee report is an attempt
to reflect actions taken by the Committee of the Whole throughout the
Comprehensive Plan process and that any changes or amendments to the
ordinances should be presented at the first reading. He also clarified that
correspondence regarding the Comprehensive Plan is referred to
Committee of the Whole to become part of the permanent record and
until the Committee report is approved, the issue is still in Committee.
Councilman Tanner stated that he could not concur with the Committee
report because it indicates a deliberative process was undertaken to
accomplish zoning designations. He stated that the area of N. 2nd Street
in North Renton was not recommended by the Planning Commission, the
staff, a study conducted by Council, or requested by the neighborhood; it
was a decision taken at the last Committee of the Whole meeting and
converts the area to an arterial commercial (CA) zoning designation and
eliminates the buffer zone.
Mr. Schlitzer responded that the decision to change the designation
followed extensive input from the neighborhood and businesses.

MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
COUNCIL PLACE THE ORDINANCE ON SECOND AND FINAL
READING ON 5/24/93.** Council President Edwards clarified that this
ordinance pertains only to the Comprehensive Plan land use element and
land use policies, and reflects the Planning Commission vision modified
by Council.
Councilman Stredicke requested clarification of the difference between a
comprehensive plan and a land use plan. In response, City Attorney
Warren stated that the Comprehensive Plan contains a number of elements
including a land use element that describes the policies and use of the
land. The zoning map gives the current zoning designation of the
property, and the zoning code states the permissible uses for the property
designation.
At Council request, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator
Guttmann, explained that under the Errata Process if a property has not
been reviewed by the Committee of the Whole or a policy decision has
not been made, an individual can fill out an application form requesting
review of the property. If the issue is administrative, it will be handled
by staff; if it is a zoning policy issue, it will be referred to the Planning
& Development Committee.
Councilman Tanner expressed concern with the ordinance classifying
downtown Renton as an urban center which would permit 12,000 new
housing units. Council President Edwards clarified that one of the
concerns with this designation was transportation. He stated that the
Joint Regional Planning Council has made the recommendation to include
Renton in any regional transit plans that are presented. The advantage of
an urban center designation would be the redevelopment potential for the
downtown area. He further noted that this designation came forward

HIGHWAY FROM INDUSTRIAL-HEAVY (IH) TO ARTERIAL
COMMERCIAL (CA).*
Councilwoman Mathews spoke against the motion and stated that
changing this area to arterial commercial (CA) would create a strip
commercial zone. Council President Edwards proposed a substitute
motion changing this area to an industrial-medium (IM) zoning
designation. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated that under the CA
zoning designation, a number of businesses would become non-
conforming, and suggested this area be zoned industrial-heavy (IH) since
there is no residential use in this area. Councilman Schlitzer stated that
this area is a gateway into Renton and it should be an attractive area of
the City. He noted that across the road are acres of property available to
accommodate heavy industrial property. *ROLL CALL: 4 AYES:

Swartzwelder - multi-family zoning for her property at 425 Williams Avenue N. and the
Comprehensive Plan, entire 400 block of Williams Avenue N. She stated that North Renton
Central/West Hill property owners should be encouraged to develop their property to higher
density which would create housing for employees within walking

traffic congestion.
Citizen Comment: Lloyd Hoshide, 833 Kirkland Avenue NE, Renton 98056, submitted
Hoshide - correspondence and referenced the minutes of 5/17/93 stating that the

Citizen Comment: Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton 98057, expressed her support of the
Vaupel - plan previously worked out by North Renton residents designating the
Comprehensive Plan: residential lots south of N. 2nd Street mixed residential (MR). She stated
Central/West Hill that a one or two lot transitional MR buffer would be more appropriate
than the proposed arterial commercial (CA) designation. Ms. Vaupel
stated that a 15-foot buffer is not enough to protect the residents from
the Bryant Motors operation which now operates two shifts creating even
more traffic, noise, and diesel fumes. She cited the prior hearing
examiner report when a rezone request for those two lots was denied,
which stated that the impacts associated with diesel engines cannot be
screened by trees and fences. Ms. Vaupel supported the site plan review
process for the area along the south edge of N. 2nd Street if the MR

Igelmund - expressed support of the North Renton residents request for a mixed
Comprehensive Plan, residential (MR) buffer between the commercial and residential area. He

May 24, 1993 Renton Citv Council Minutes ID-
ADMINISTRATIVE Jay Covington reported that a meeting was held with the Bellevue City
REPORT Manager to attempt to reach an agreement with Bellevue to establish a
Annexation: Pembrook boundary line for the Newport Hills area. He stated that the current
annexation proposals would move the Bellevue city limits to about 68th or
69th Street in the Newport Hills area. The Boundary Review Board
hearing to address the Newport II area annexation, the area included in
both the Renton and Bellevue sphere of influence, is scheduled for 5/25.
This annexation was appealed by Fire District 25 and King County.
Mr. Covington stated that the Pembrook annexation hearing is scheduled
for 6/l/93. The Bellevue city manager has agreed to take a proposal to
the Bellevue Council on 6/7 requesting Council to refuse to take action on
any further petition requests until Bellevue and Renton reach agreement
on a revised potential annexation area. Renton will request a continuance
from the Boundary Review Board which will allow the public to present
their comments on 6/1, and Renton to present information after Bellevue
council has reached a decision regarding the annexation area. Mr.
Covington clarified that Renton opposes the Pembrook annexation because
there is no assurance of service delivery from that area through May
Creek, and the area is not within the Bellevue sphere of influence.
Councilwoman Mathews requested that Renton state its position to the
Boundary Review Board opposing the Pembrook annexation unless an
agreement with Bellevue can be reached establishing boundary lines.
Mayor Clymer clarified that if the two annexations are approved by the
Boundary Review Board, Renton would have no recourse.

SPECIAL Tom Madden, Project Engineer for Washington State Department of
PRESENTATION Transportation (WSDOT) I-405 S-Curve project, reported that the project
WSDOT: I-405 S Curve is progressing ahead of schedule with estimated completion in October,
Project 1994. The next traffic switch will move northbound I-405 traffic to the
new bridge on 6/19 and southbound traffic will move to the new section
on 6/26. Demolition of the center portion of the SR-169 bridge is
scheduled for 6/18 and will require a closure of SR-169. The demolition
of the center portion of the 3rd Street bridge will begin the week of 6/28
with night time closures during the week. Demolition of both viaducts
will begin 6/21, and continue through the end of July or mid-August.
Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Madden stated that the Carco Theatre and
Renton Community Center entrance will be affected by the closure of
SR-169, but detour signs will be posted and the Cedar River underpass
located off Bronson Way will be available for access.
June 7. 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 255
In response to Councilwoman Nelson's inquiry, Mr. Madden informed

AUDIENCE Todd R. Woosley, Burnstead Corporation, 1215 - 120th Avenue NE, Suite
COMMENT 201, Bellevue 98005, requested that the proposed language requiring a site
Citizen Comment: plan review and public hearing of any project over 100 units or over 10
Woosley - acres in size be deleted from the planned neighborhood residential (PNR)
Comprehensive Plan, zone.
General
In response to Mr. Woosley's question concerning the Errata Process,
Council President Edwards clarified that the process has been established,
but no action can be taken until the zoning and land use ordinances are
adopted.
Citizen Comment: Phillip Gladfelter, PACCAR, P. O. Box 1518, Bellevue 98009, thanked
Gladfelter - Councilmembers and staff for developing language that permits
Comprehensive Plan, administrative headquarter uses in the industrial-heavy (IH) zone.
General
Mr. Gladfelter expressed concern a site plan review process in the IH
zone for corporate headquarters will place additional burdens on property
owners by restricting development. He noted that site plan review is a
necessary tool in the lighter use zones or where there is a mixture of
zones, but the heavy industrial zones are already reviewed by State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), and impact concerns are addressed
through these reviews.
In response to Council inquiry, Lynn Guttmann, Planning/Building/Public
Works Administrator, clarified that office headquarters in an industrial
zone will be subject to site plan review under the new plan and noted
there currently is no provision to review secondary uses such as office
headquarters that are connected to industrial uses in the IH zone.
Citizen Comment: Roger Blaylock, 855 - 106th Avenue NE, Bellevue 98004, representing
Blaylock - Richard and Ann Butko, owners of the Parker property located in the
Comprehensive Plan, 2800 block of Dayton Avenue, stated that the planned unit development
SE Renton (PUD) designation for this property can only be removed by Council
action and questioned whether the PUD had expired or was abandoned.
Mr. Blaylock also noted that the City has received substantial benefit for
the proposed development.

Citizen Comment: Margaret Robertson, 235 Garden Avenue N., Renton 98055, expressed
Robertson - concern that numerous cars, trucks, and buses area being parked on N.
Comprehensive Plan, 2nd Street making it impossible to pass through the area. Ms. Robertson
Central/West Hill stated that zoning the area located south of N. 2nd arterial commercial
(CA), will increase traffic on Meadow and Factory. She also requested
assistance to stop commercial vehicles from using Garden to access
Bronson and N. 3rd Street. Ms. Robertson thanked Council and staff for
taking care of the collapsed building on Meadow.
Councilmen Tanner and Stredicke asked the Administration to determine
whether the area around N. 2nd Street is in compliance with the City
parking ordinance, and whether the loading and unloading of private
vehicles on public right-of-ways is permitted.
Citizen Comment: Dennis Lensegrav, Puget Power, 620 S. Grady Way, Renton 98055, stated
Lensegrav - that the Puget Power property located between Grady Way, Benson Road,
Comprehensive Plan, Talbot Road, and extending to I-405, is primarily used as industrial-
Central/West Hill heavy (11-1). He expressed concern that the zoning map does not reflect
the actual property uses. It was noted that staff will review the map for
clarification.
Citizen Comment: John Tynes, 33611 - 9th Avenue S., Federal Way 98003, expressed
Tynes - support of comments made by Todd Woosley regarding public hearings in
Comprehensive Plan, the planned neighborhood residential (PNR) zone for projects of over 100
General units. He stated that the lengthy process costs money not only for the
developer but also the City, and also makes it more difficult to obtain
financing for the project.
Citizen Comment: Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton 98055, requested
Richter - that the single family residential area in North Renton be protected from
Comprehensive Plan, the commercial zones. She noted that the proposed arterial commercial
Central/West Hill (CA) zoning designation of lots located south of N. 2nd Street will add to
traffic and parking problems for the North Renton area, and requested
mixed residential (MR) zoning. She also requested that the area be
subject to hearing examiner site plan review, better buffering be
required, and restrictive parking of buses, trucks, and other equipment
from the streets.
Citizen Comment: Linda Igelmund, 3602 Lake Washington Boulevard N., Renton 98055,
Igelmund - stated that North Renton area residents have struggled with their
Comprehensive Plan, commercial neighbor for a number of years, and noted that the success of
Central/West Hill a neighborhood is directly related to its zoning.
Citizen Comment: Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton 98057, submitted correspondence
Vaupel - and a petition containing 17 signatures requesting that Council give the
Comprehensive Plan, residential lots south of N. 2nd between Garden and Factory a mixed
Central/West Hill residential (MR) zoning designation. She stated that the arterial
commercial (CA) designation would be inappropriate because: it is too
intense for the area located between the single family residences and
Liberty Park; the height of permitted buildings in the CA zone would be
out of character with the residential dwellings; and allowed uses such as
taverns, dance halls, hotels, etc., would be adjacent to a single family
neighborhood. She also stated that protective barriers and landscaping
between the zones should be in place prior to zoning. Ms. Vaupel also
25-
June_7. 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 257
noted that the residents of the North Renton area request construction of
a high concrete fence along N. 2nd Street to protect the area from the
commercial traffic because a wood fence would not mitigate the noise
from most commercial uses and N. 2nd Street should be considered a
residential street. Ms. Vaupel also requested in writing the forum the
public can use to appeal the ordinances, the final environmental impact
station, or other issues.
Ms. Vaupel submitted correspondence from Peter J. Eglick, 900 Fourth
WON Avenue, Suite 1212, Seattle 98164, concerning the zoning designation for
the area located along N. 2nd Street.
Citizen Comment: Fred Businello, 308 Meadow Avenue N., Renton 98055, requested that the
Businello - City and North Renton residents meet to discuss the zoning designation
Comprehensive Plan, for the property along N. 2nd.

Councilman Tanner expressed concern that a site plan review will be
required for secondary uses such as corporate headquarters or
administrative offices, when it is not required for the primary use.
MOVED BY TANNER, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, AMEND
MOTION TO AMEND LANGUAGE IN ZONING CODE SECTION 4-
31-11.2.B.2 (IM ZONE); SECTION 4-31-12.B.2. (IH ZONE); AND
SECTION 4-31-11.1.13.2., SECONDARY USES, TO READ: THE
FOLLOWING USES ARE PERMITTED SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:*
Councilwoman Mathews stated that the site plan review for secondary
uses in the industrial-heavy (IH) zone is necessary to determine how the
proposed office uses will be designed in conjunction with the existing
industrial use. She also noted that site plan review is required for
1,61.
June 7. 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Paye 261
construction of office properties in office use zones, and office
construction in the IH zone should also be required to confirm that the
uses are compatible.
Upon Council request, City Attorney Warren clarified that the site plan
process is a review of the location and how the improvements or additions
relate to one another and the adjacent developments or properties. The
environmental review process determines how a project will affect the
*� environment. *CARRIED.
Councilwoman Mathews expressed concern that the property located along
SR-167 should be zoned light industrial (IL) and not commercial arterial
(CA) as proposed. Mayor Clymer also expressed concern that the City
has very little property zoned light industrial and an abundance of
commercial arterial zoning, making it difficult for businesses such as
Bryant Motors to relocate within the City.

COMMERCIAL ARTERIAL (CA) ZONING DESIGNATION FOR THE
AREA LOCATED ALONG SR-167 AS A FINDING OF THE
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE REPORT.*
Councilwoman Mathews stated that the area located along SR-167 should
be designated light industrial (IL) because there is little undeveloped land
available in the City with this designation, and this proposed change will
remove an additional 31.7 acres.
Council President Edwards expressed concern that the heavy industrial
uses will still be visible from SR-167 using CA zoning as a buffer. He
stated that a light industrial zoning designation for this area would serve
as a more appropriate buffer and would provide a nicer gateway to
Renton. *CARRIED.

Committee Stredicke presented a report stating that the subdivision application
Planning: Urban Growth known as "Whitegate" located along May Valley Road and Coal Creek
Area, Halinen Parkway, is pending before King County. The Administration and
Council have been consistent in their discussions and correspondence with
King County over the past two years regarding the development of this
project and the designation of the urban growth boundary. On April 5,
1993, the City Council passed Resolution 2960 identifying an urban
growth boundary jointly delineated by the City of Renton and King
County including this area within the City's urban growth area, and
designating it as an urban separator.

approved for this area having a density greater than one dwelling unit per
ten acres will be required to connect to a sewer system and will not be

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and
Franchise: TCI Cable published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened
Extension the public hearing to consider the proposed ordinances adopting a 15-year
TCI Cable franchise and cable television regulations.
Phil Jewett, Information Systems Director, gave an overview of the two
ordinances. He noted that one ordinance is administrative, and adds a
chapter to Title V of City Code regulating cable television in Renton.
The other ordinance grants TCI a 15-year, non-exclusive franchise to
operate a cable communications system in Renton, and sets additional
terms and conditions that must be met upon acceptance of the franchise.
He stated the ordinances were developed in conjunction with Kent and
Auburn for the benefit of all cities, and that both Auburn and Kent have
renewed the TCI franchise.
Mr. Jewett noted there are four items contained in the franchise
agreement that will directly benefit Renton citizens: 1) A regional
television studio will be set up by TCI in Kent that will be used by the
general public, civic groups, and government agencies for public access
programming. 2) Additional access channels. The City has one channel
which is used for the character generator, a second channel will be used
as an additional public access channel for taped and live broadcasts, and a
third channel will be an educational channel to be used by the school
district and other institutions for educational purposes. 3) An
institutional network or closed circuit TV will link the school district and
City facilities for training, video conferencing, computer communications,
16
June 14, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 273
etc. 4) TCI will install TV broadcast equipment with an estimated value
of $80,000 in the remodeled Council Chambers within six months. The
City will have the capability to tape Council meetings for rebroadcast
beginning in 1994, and broadcast live in 1995.
It was also noted that franchise fees will increase from 3% to 5% of
operating revenues, representing an increase from approximately $120,000
in 1992, to $250,000 in 1994. Mr. Jewett recommended that TCI be
granted the cable franchise in Renton.
Lon Hurd, Cable Communications Consultants, stated that his firm
performed a community needs assessment three years ago, and
negotiations for specific items with TCI have been ongoing over the last
16-18 months.
Councilman Tanner expressed concern that Council has not had the
opportunity to review the new Federal Communications Commission
guidelines and requested that the franchise be referred to the Community
Services Committee. He stated that TCI currently does not provide
adequate levels of service to the black and hispanic communities, and
questioned if TCI has any plans to improve future service to the minority
communities.
He also noted that the current TCI franchise has expired, but will be
extended through contract negotiations.
In response to Council inquiry, Lon Hurd stated that the proposed
franchise fee increase is average when compared with other cities. He
stated that each city will have the option of designating the public access
channel for either county-wide or city access, and that it will be the
responsibility of the City to oversee and develop rules of operation.
Gary Hokenson, General Manager, TCI Cable, Inc., 15241 Pacific
Highway South, Seattle, stated that TCI serves the entire Puget Sound
area. He noted that if Seattle decides to choose another service provider,
there will be no effect on other cities within the service area. In response
to Councilman Tanner's inquiry, Mr. Hokenson stated that the non-
discrimination programming issue has been reviewed over the last several
years, but there are only 35 channels available for use at this time. He
clarified that the primary reason for the upgrade is to increase channel
capacity to a minimum of 54 channels. Mr. Hokenson clarified that TCI
has someone available 24-hours a day, seven days a week to provide
response to customer problems.
Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton 98057, stated that the first 13
channels should be dedicated to priority channels, such as CNN. She
further noted that there should be a decrease in cable service rates as the
ni+mber of viewers increase.
In response to Councilman Stredicke's inquiry, Lon Hurd clarified that
the City will pay for trenching costs of cable installation only if the City
is the primary contractor.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and
Transportation: 1994-1999 published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened
Six-Year Transportation the public hearing to consider the 1994-1999 Six-Year Transportation
Improvement Program Improvement Program,
Mel Wilson, Transportation Systems Director, stated that the 1994-1999
Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program was developed by City
staff, and that the program and funding were reviewed by the
Transportation Citizens' Advisory Committee. He stated that the
Advisory Committee recommended that the capital license fee based on
the proposed transportation improvement program be continued.
Mr. Wilson stated this year's transportation program theme "responding to
economic conditions," was chosen because the present economic conditions
are more difficult and will need special consideration. He stated that the
transportation program will benefit Renton's economic development by
improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the transportation system.
Mr. Wilson indicated that Renton's economic development will be
enhanced through participation in regional forums, including programs
such as improved transit service, commuter rail service to Renton, and a
rapid rail extension to North Renton; preparation of a transportation
element to the Growth Management Plan to respond to the City's land use
and comprehensive plan policies; the implementation of a transportation
mitigation program so new development will contribute money toward the
infrastructure; and the leveraging of local funds through Transportation
Improvement Board and Economic Development Association grant
programs.
i
287
June 21, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 287
Lee Haro, Transportation Program Coordinator, explained that the
development of the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program is:
mandated by the State with annual updates because it is a multi-year
funding and work program for transportation capital improvements;
required under all State and Federal funding programs; used to coordinate
with other jurisdictions and agencies; part of the transportation element
under the Growth Management Act.
Mr. Haro stated that the Transportation Improvement Program is broken
into five categories: preservation of the existing infrastructure through
■r. the use of an arterial pavement management program and bridge
inspection program; protection of neighborhood buildings and community
type conservancy projects; multi-modal and transportation land
management projects and programs, including cost effective ways to
improve the transportation system such as moving more people per
vehicle through High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV), promoting non-
motorized transportation, and reducing travel demand measures through
programs like the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) plan; economic
development projects that are necessitated by new development; and
pr( jects that serve operations, such as congestion and safety concerns.
Mr. Haro noted that several grants have been received for programs
during the past year which include: resurfacing Rainier Avenue/Airport
Way; Lake Washington Blvd. bridge at May Creek project; Monster Road
project; the SR-900 HOV project and the arterial HOV development
project to develop city-wide projects eligible for outside funding; the
Park Avenue/Lake Washington Blvd. project; Park Avenue to Bronson to
N 10th project for the preservation of the North Renton residential
neighborhoods; the Main Avenue to Bronson Way, which is important to
the development of the Central Business District; the Bronson Way
project, which includes the addition of an eastbound lane for the Factory,
Houser Way intersection, and Sunset area; and N. 3rd Street and Sunset to
Monterey project which will add another lane in both directions.
The highest priority projects for 1994 are:
1. Street overlay program
2. Park North/Lake Washington Boulevard
3. Park North-Bronson to North 10th
4. Houser relocation - Sunset to North 8th
5. SR-900 HOV lanes and northbound Houser Way Interchange
6. Oakesdale SW - 31st to 16th
7. Transportation demand management program
8. Walkway program
9. Central Business District transportation and streetscape
10. Transit Program
In response to Councilman Stredicke's inquiry, Mel Wilson stated that 2nd
Avenue N. is designated as a residential access street, and 12th Avenue
NE from Union to Edmonds is a collector whose purpose is to direct
traffic from the residential area onto the arterial system.
Audience comment was invited.
Lloyd Hoshide, 833 Kirkland Avenue NE, Renton 98056, asked if the
proposed commuter rail will travel north and south on the east side of
Lake Washington to relieve the southbound traffic on I-405 to Auburn.
In response, Mel Wilson stated that a study for the extension of the
r..
288
June 21 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 288
commuter rail to Bellevue was performed, but Bellevue opposed the
extension because it would not go to the downtown Bellevue area. He
also stated that the rapid rail system will travel along the I-405 alignment
and will run from Burien to North Renton as part of the regional transit
program, and the commuter rail will extend to North Renton.
Mr. Hoshide questioned Bellevue's rationale for opposing the rail system
extension, noting that people driving down I-405 to Kent and Auburn
don't live in downtown Auburn, they live along the I-405 corridor as far
as Woodinville and the Cottage Lake area. He stated that the rail service,
if extended beyond Bellevue into the Woodinville area, would provide a ..r
viable alternative for people who currently drive I-405.
Councilwoman Mathews stated that if the commuter rail system proves
successful from Tacoma to Seattle with a spur coming into Renton, a rail
system extending to the east side of Lake Washington will be reviewed.
Mel Wilson also noted that a consultant study performed for Metro
indicated there would be no more riders on the rail system than are
currently riding buses. Councilman Tanner clarified that the study did
show that the rail system would be less costly than the bus system.
Roger Blaylock, 535 Williams Avenue N., Renton 98055, suggested that
next year's transportation improvement program be reviewed to determine
spending trends, and expressed concern that there is a decrease in funding
for the 1995-1999 street overlay program. In response, Lee Haro stated
that the overlay program funding is not decreasing; there was a carryover
from the 1993 budget that will be spent this year.
Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton 98057, questioned the proposed
commuter rail route. In response, Mel Wilson clarified that the commuter
rail system will follow the existing rail alignment, and the terminal
location has not been determined.

WSDOT: SR-167 Project Councilman Schlitzer requested that the placement of a noise barrier along
Noise Barrier SR-167 be referred to the Administration or Transportation Committee
for review. Councilman Tanner responded that a 30-foot high noise
barrier along SR-167 is not feasible because even a wall of that height
may not block the direct line of sight for the residential area because of
the slope of the land. He commented that this type of wall would need
to be made of steel girders to be self-supporting, and would be very
costly. '
Transportation: Regional Councilwoman Mathews noted that at the 6/15/93 meeting of the South
Transit Authority County Area Transportation Benefit District (SCATBD), the Committee
expressed support of the regional arterial plan, and will encourage the
King County Council to establish the Regional Transit Authority. She
stated that SCATBD will vote on this issue 6/28/93.
Finance Committee Referred 5/03/93 - Finance Committee Chair Mathews presented a report
Finance: Administrative stating that the Finance Committee has reviewed proposals from the
Services Reorganization Administration to reorganize several functions within the Administrative
Services Department and some programs within the Executive
Department. The Committee recommended that the Renton City Council
concur in the following actions:
1. Authorize a Safety and Risk Management Coordinator position at
salary grade 23.
2. Eliminate the position of Finance Assistant, salary grade 7,
effective January 1, 1994.
These changes are made with the understanding that there will be no net
increase in budget or FTEs. The additional cost for the Coordinator
position will be funded from budget savings due to the vacant
Administrative Services Administrator position.
Councilwoman Mathews noted that the remainder of recommendations
will remain in the Finance Committee until they are reviewed through the
budget process, or until a Finance Director has been recruited. MOVED

Covington stated that the Administration hopes to select a Finance
Director this week, to begin employment within 60 days.

Finance: Consultant Referred 5/17/93 - Finance Committee Chair Mathews presented a report
Contract Approval stating that the Finance Committee has reviewed proposed changes to
Procedure Policy and Procedure 250-02, Bidding and Contracting Requirements, and
concurs with the staff recommendation to modify the procedure to
increase the cost threshold from $10,000 to $50,000 for Council review of
professional service contracts, task orders, and contract extensions.
Council approval will be required for the following items regardless of
cost: 1) non-budgeted contracts of any amount; 2) contracts for which
the line item cost exceeds the budgeted line item; and 3) sole source
contracts.
MW
The policy requiring execution of all contracts over $10,000 by the Mayor
and city clerk will not change.
As an alternative, the Committee recommended that a quarterly report
listing all contracts executed during the previous three-month period be
placed on the Council agenda as an information item. The report will
identify the contractor, cost, and purpose of the contract by
department/division.
The proposed change will result in cost and time savings for both
Councilmembers and staff. The Committee recommended that the
Finance Committee evaluate the new procedure at the end of 1993.
Councilwoman Mathews noted that this procedure will be re-evaluated in
12/93, and will remain in the Finance Committee until that time.

FINAL READING ON 6/28/93. CARRIED.
NEW BUSINESS Councilman Stredicke asked for clarification of the process to request
Comprehensive Plan: zoning designation changes. In response, Jay Covington stated that
General anyone who has concerns about their property designation can fill out an
application requesting Council consideration. These applications will be
handled through the Errata Process by the Planning and Development
Committee. He noted that the Planning and Development Committee will
determine whether or not the issue was previously considered by Council,
and if the issue was considered and no new information is being
presented, no change would be made. If the property was not considered
by Council, the Committee will review possible modifications.
Mr. Covington also noted that Council has adopted the zoning code and
map, and the zoning code outlines the primary, secondary, and
conditional uses. Changes and modifications can be made over the next
292
June 21 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Pane 292
several months as the Planning and Development Committee considers
requests through the Errata Process.
Councilman Stredicke stated that at some time during discussion of zoning
areas, he addressed an area in North Renton where property owners
requested duplex zoning. The property was designated mixed residential
(MR) which does not allow duplexes, and Councilman Stredicke requested
that this area be reviewed.

Comprehensive Plan: Councilman Tanner expressed concern over the review criteria for issues
Errata Process that will be reviewed under the Errata Process. He felt that unless there
is new information, the Errata Process will not help people, and those
requesting zoning changes will have to apply for a rezone.
Comprehensive Plan: Jay Covington clarified that zoning designation requests will not be
General screened or rejected, they will all be presented to Council in a package
with pertinent information. Council will determine whether or not the
property designation should be reconsidered.
Comprehensive Plan: Councilman Schlitzer stated that he has been contacted owners of
General property on Mill Avenue S. that were informed the area would be zoned
mixed residential (MR). He stated that the owners are now being told
that they cannot build anything larger than a duplex because the lots are
only 40 feet wide. Councilman Schlitzer requested that the
Administration review this issue.
Building: Sign Councilman Schlitzer requested that the City code enforcement officer
Enforcement review signage violations of a swap shop located on Lake Avenue N,
noting that they have been putting cardboard boxes with hand painted
signs on them on all corners around their location at Airport Way, Rainier
Avenue, and Logan Avenue. He also noted the swap shop also has had a
banner hanging from the top of their building for about six months.
Council: Boeing 737-X Councilman Tanner noted that Boeing has decided to move forward with

Community Services Referred 6/7/93 - Community Services Committee Chair Keolker-
Committee Wheeler presented a report recommending Council approval of the
Parks: Maplewood Golf financial feasibility study of Maplewood Golf Course which provides
Course plans for a new clubhouse, driving range, maintenance building, parking
lot, irrigation system, and purchase of in-holds to be funded as outlined
in Option 3 of the report.
Bill Hutsinpiller, Parks & Recreation Director, stated that a design
committee comprised of Councilmembers, the Park Board, members of
the men's and women's club, the golf course pro, golf course
concessionaire, Boeing, and others, has come up with a proposal for the
Maplewood Golf Course for Council consideration. Cal Jordan, of Cal
Jordan and Associates, who performed the design work was introduced.
Mr. Jordan presented a brief overview of the Maplewood Golf Course
project, stating that the project is more than a clubhouse, it is a variety
of services that will include the clubhouse, a driving range, golf cart
storage, additional parking, a new maintenance building, irrigation
improvements, and property acquisition. He stated that the single-story
clubhouse design will serve three functions: a pro-shop, including retail
area, golf pro office, service/repair area, and storage; a food service area
including snack bar, kitchen & food preparation, and dining area; and
support areas which will include meeting rooms and banquet facilities to
June 28 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Pane 302
accommodate up to 350 people, administrative areas, rest rooms, storage,
and mechanical/janitorial facilities.
Mr. Jordan pointed out there are five profit centers planned for the Golf
Course, which will include the pro shop, food service, meeting rooms, the
driving range, and club/cart rental. He stated that after reviewing three
options, the committee chose Option 3 which provides for contracted food
service concessionaire, a Class A PGA professional to operate the pro
shop, driving range, and club/cart rentals, and allows the City to maintain
operation of the meeting rooms.
Mr. Jordan stated that the anticipated net annual income using proposed
Option 3 would be $374,000, and could, depending on interest rates,
finance a project of about $4.1 to $4.5 million. Sam Chastain,
Community Services Administrator noted that the cost for this phase of
improvements will be about $4.2 million, and the final phase, which will
update the west side of the course, will cost approximately $1 million.
He stated that these improvements could be paid off with the City's
Capital Improvement Program, which is currently funded through golfer
surcharge fees, and represents about $240,000 of revenue per year.
Councilman Tanner expressed agreement with the design concept for the
golf course, but opposed a City-run pro shop because of the expertise
required to run a pro shop, and also the additional subsidiary costs
associated with City staffing. He requested that the Parks Department
reconsider this element of the study.
In resp'.)nse to inquiry from Councilman Stredicke, Sam Chastain stated
that all municipal golf courses, with the exception of Seattle, are in the
black. He further noted that the Maplewood Golf Course is also in the
black, and anticipated revenue from this project will pay for all golf
course improvements except the property.
Councilman Stredicke concurred with the facility design portion of the
Committee report, but expressed concern about the City operating the moo
golf course facility. He requested additional study of this portion of the
proposal.
Jay Covington stated that under proposed Option 3, experts will be hired
to operate the golf course, but the City will be responsible for the overall
project management. He stated that this program will pay for itself and
continue to provide revenue for the City.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler clarified that the three Community
Services Committee members support Option 3. She stated that the
Committee has thoroughly studied the financial feasibility document, and
according to all documentation and research, Option 3 would best serve
the City's interest to gain additional revenues, pay for the project, and
enable the City to supervise the facility.
In response to inquiry from Council President Edwards, Sam Chastain
clarified that the current concessionaire contract will expire at the end of
1994, but can be extended to 5/95 or upon completion of the new club
house. Mr. Chastain further stated that Option 3 will maximize the
amount of anticipated revenues and provide flexibility to contract for
food, pro shop, and various concessionaires. In response to Council
June 28, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 303
inquiry, Mr. Chastain clarified that this proposal will eliminate a layer of
concession management, but not operation.

Agreement, Cedar River Engineers. He noted that in January, 1993, the City entered into an
Delta Dredging Project agreement with The Boeing Company to participate in funding for the
dredge and fill project, but when the permit application was rejected by
the Corps, Boeing requested that the termination clause contained in the
agreement be invoked. Mr. Zimmermann clarified that now that the
permit has been granted to perform the dredging, with disposal in Elliott
Bay, Boeing expressed interest in continuing to co-fund the dredging
project to the cap amount of $500,000. He stated that the City has
submitted invoices to Boeing in the amount of $141,396 for previous
design and engineering work, and permit acquisition. Mr. Zimmermann
reviewed the agreement provisions which include:
1) Boeing will contribute to the City a total amount not to exceed
$500,000, less the already paid invoices totaling $141,396, for a
remaining amount of $358,604;
2) The $500,000 will be Boeing's complete and total contribution
for the project;
3) Boeing will not pay for work performed after 12/31/93;

agency requirements, or monitoring and mitigation obligations;
6) The City will submit monthly progress reports to Boeing;
7) The City will recognize the Boeing water dependent use status
for a future barge transfer facility north of the 4-21 building.
In response to Council inquiry, Jay Covington noted that Boeing and the
City have already spent between $750,000 and $1 million on this project.
He clarified that Boeing recognizes the importance of this project, and
their continued support shows they are good corporate citizens. Mr.
Covington also noted the City will work with Boeing to determine if there
is a better design to open the trail across Boeing property out to the park,
and still allow for barge access.

system.
Council President Edwards congratulated everyone involved including the
Mayor, Council, and staff, and stated that when he accepted the award,
he credited the Renton City Council for being willing to let its staff take

Appeal: In response to Council inquiry, City Attorney Warren stated that after
Boeing/Longacres, SA- hearing three and one-half days of testimony, the judge indicated that
92-006 because of the volume of material, she would not rule for at least one
week on the Boeing Customer Service Training Center appeal. Council

ADMINISTRATIVE Mayor Clymer expressed his appreciation to the AWC for recognizing the
REPORT City by presenting the award for the wetlands mitigation bank. He stated
AWC: Municipal that when the project was initiated, Renton took the forefront in setting
Achievement Award, aside property for the wetlands, and credited former Councilmen Bill
Wetlands Mitigation Bank Grant and John Reed for obtaining the main portion of wetlands in the
valley and acquiring additional wetlands along SR-167. He also advised
that former Parks Director John Webley and councilmembers acquired
additional wetlands as part of the mitigation from Metro and Blackriver
Corporate Park. He stated that the wetlands are important to Renton's
water supply because as ground water flows downhill, the wetlands act as
cleansing agents for that water.

Bonds
Victoria Runkle, Finance Director, presented a brief overview of the limited
tax general obligation bond refunding ordinance. She explained that an
additional $4.1 million in outstanding debt was added to the Refunding Bond
to take advantage of current declining interest rates. The agreement with
Seattle Northwest Securities provides for the purchase of the refunding
general obligation bonds, the water and sewer bonds, and the new bonds for
approximately $5.1 million; the remainder of the $14.145 million will be .ter►
refunded bonds. Ms. Runkle also noted that the bonds will be paid off in
the year 2008.
Dick Kennedy, Seattle Northwest Securities, stated that the 1993 Limited Tax
General Obligation Bond will refund the 1986 bonds. He noted that
declining interest rates make it advantageous for the City to refinance
outstanding debt. Mr. Kennedy stated that the water and sewer bond
ordinance was revised to add the refinancing of the 1989 and 1990 bonds.
Mr. Kennedy noted that after a presentation to Moody's Investment Service,
Renton was assigned A-1 ratings for both the general obligation and utility
rating. He stated that both are extremely high credit ratings by Moody's for
cities the size of Renton, and reflect that the City has managed the Boeing
Company downturn satisfactorily and has maintained the same fund balance
before and after the downturn. Moody's also stated that the water/sewer
utility segment, financial statements, and debt service coverage are all very
good.
Mr. Kennedy also noted that Moody's is pleased with the regular utility rate
increases Council has enacted over the years to keep up with the operations
and maintenance cost increases. He stated that the regular rate increases

July 26 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 336
The Utilities Committee further recommended concurrence in staff's
recommendation that the ordinance establishing these revisions to the
Code be presented for first reading.
Gregg Zimmermann, Utility Systems Director, presented a brief overview
of the Utilities Committee report regarding special utility connection
charges. He clarified that the fees will cover new development
connection to City utilities. He stated that the revised Special Utility
Connection Charge Code will affect both water and sewer charges, and
will allow payment flexibility for developments. Upon Council inquiry,
Mr. Zimmermann clarified that the amended code will require developers
to pay connection fees for only the developed portion of the property,
and a restrictive covenant would be recorded against the property for the
balance.
Council President Edwards questioned why a property lien would not be
filed against the property similar to special assessment districts. In
response, Mr. Zimmermann stated that a restrictive covenant would be
recorded against the property so upon sale of the property, a title search
would reveal that information. He stated that the connection fee is not
payable until the property connects to the utility, so filing a lien against K
properties that have paid a portion of the fees would not be appropriate.
Assistant City Attorney Kellogg clarified that a restrictive covenant would
be appropriate. He noted that a lien is not payable until the development
permit is applied for and if a lien appears on a title report, it has
potential difficulty for a lender.
Council President Edwards requested clarification of liens placed against
properties in special assessment districts and local improvement districts.
Jay Covington noted that the Administration will review the impacts and
report back to Council. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY
SCHLITZER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.

Appeal: Cellular One, the appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision of 6/1/93 concerning Cellular
CU;V-93-002 One, and letter of reconsideration of 6/24/93. The subject property is
located at 11224 - 138th Avenue SE (NE 12th Street and Duvall Avenue NE).
Applicant sought a conditional use permit and a variance to locate a
monopole (similar to a 120-feet high telephone pole) on the subject site.
Applicant appealed the denial of the variance and the conditions imposed on
the conditional use permit. Specifically, the applicant appealed the
imposition of a five-year limit to the permit and a requirement that applicant
keep the City apprised of changes in the technology and, if available,
requiring a more discreet structure on the site or alternatively, requiring
removal of the monopole.
Regarding the variance, the Committee found that the hearing examiner's
conclusions are not based on the facts in the record. The Committee
concluded that the facts on the record support the grant of the variance;
therefore, the hearing examiner committed substantial error. The Committee
recommended that the decision of the hearing examiner be reversed and the
variance be granted.
Regarding the conditional use permit, the hearing examiner committed
substantial error by imposing condition #1 on the variance rather than the
conditional use permit. He erroneously linked condition #1 with both the
variance and the conditional use. Therefore, the Committee recommended
the decision of the hearing examiner be amended as follows: that the
conditional use permit be granted subject to a review in five years; the
review for the need for a conditional use permit in five years is appropriate,
and allows for upgrading as necessary (see: Comprehensive Plan's Utility
Goals, VIII). This condition is not intended as a five year limit on permit,
but rather the opportunity to review the technology and public need. The
two other conditions (#2: natural vegetation buffer easement and covenants;
and #3: a footpath subject to the approval of the Fire Department) which
were imposed by the hearing examiner, must also be met.
Finally, the Committee recommended as a matter of public safety because the
pole represents an attractive nuisance, the conditional use permit be further
conditioned on the enclosure of the monopole in a fence which meets with
the approval of City staff in consultation with the Renton School District.

The Committee recommended the Council reverse and amend the decision of
the hearing examiner as indicated above.
Tayloe Washburn stated that he would like language added to paragraph 4 of
the Planning & Development Committee report stating that although the
applicant may decide, based on its amortization, change of technology, and
the cost effectiveness to its subscribers to remove the 120-foot monopole in
some point in time, this permit shall remain in place as long as applicant is
providing cellular service to the area from this site. He noted that the
suggestion was made to avoid confusion in the,future.
Councilwoman Mathews opposed the language addition noting that it will be
the responsibility of City staff to determine whether changes in techology
will require replacement of the monopole.

Plannine & Development Planning and Development Committee Chairman Stredicke presented a report
Committee of the Errata Process, E-1 through E-12.
A. Referred for public hearing: now
The Planning and Development Committee reviewed the following
requests: E-4, E-6, E-7, E-11, and E-12, and has referred them to a
public hearing and for Council consideration.
Comprehensive Plan: 1. E-4 Mayor's Office: Add truck sales and services as a hearing
Errata, CA Zone Truck examiner conditional use in Commercial Arterial (CA) zone.
Sales and Service
Planning and Development Committee Review: The Committee
reviewed the staff recommendation and is of the opinion that a
public hearing should be held so Council can consider the request as
stated.
Action: Council schedule public hearing for 8/23/93 to consider
truck sales and service use in CA zone.
Comprehensive Plan: 2. E-6 Council Referral: Mixed residential (MR) zoning on the west
Errata, Mill Avenue MR side of Mill Avenue does not allow development of duplexes.
Zoning
Planning and Development Committee Review: The following zone
changes would allow development to occur on 5,000 square foot lots
in MR zoning:
a) Reduce minimum lot area required per dwelling unit in the MR
zone to 2,500 square feet from 3,000 square feet; and
b) Eliminate requirement for minimum lot area of 5,000 square
feet in the MR zone.
The Committee is of the opinion that a public hearing should be
held so Council can consider the request as stated.
Action: Council schedule a public hearing 8/23/93 to clarify MR
zone.
Comprehensive Plan: 3. E-7 Fred Callen: Request to consider the mixed commercial (CM)
Errata, Callen zoning for 107 Logan Avenue S. because a duplex cannot be built
under the zoning.
Planning and Development Committee Review: The Committee
recommended that no change to the zoning map be made.
However, the CM zone should be clarified to allow one parking
space per multi-family unit if the square footage of the lot is too
small to meet the required minimum density and parking
requirement. This would allow zone to continue as mapped and
allow property owner to develop as desired.
The Committee also requested that staff preparing the Utility
Element demonstrate that fire flow will be adequate to allow
development in the CM zone.

Errata, Ichelson low density residential (SFL) and single family (SF) to planned
neighborhood residential (PNR) zone on Talbot Road.

Committee does not recommend changing the mapped zones or the
zoning code at this time.

Council President Edwards questioned if there were some way to establish
buffers between residential and commercial zones that address existing
concerns and conflicts, not necessarily future uses.
Councilman Stredicke noted that Renton Vocational Technical Institute used
mature plants, a berm, a 15-foot setback, and a fence as buffer between their
facility and the residential area that is aesthetically pleasing. However, this
mitigation would not block noise and lights associated with most commercial
uses. *MOTION CARRIED.

SCHLITZER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.
CARRIED.
Comprehensive Plan: Councilman Tanner reported that an article appeared in the Valley Daily
Urban Centers News addressing increased crime on Kent's East Hill, and requested that
comments he wrote about this article be entered into record. In his
commentary, Councilman Tanner noted that the reporters concluded that
the cause of the increased crime is primarily due to the extreme high
density of housing and people on the East Hill. He further stated that the
problem is so severe that businesses are modifying their hours of
operation, and that Kent officials may challenge the population growth
figures assigned under the Growth Management Act.
He continued that if Renton's land use designations and zoning are fully
developed, multi-family housing will comprise more than 70 percent of
°" the City's housing units, and thus perpetuate a future decline in quality of
life. Mr. Tanner felt that recent zoning decisions in Renton are similar to
those made in Kent, and were motivated by objectives of increasing the
revenue stream and property tax base by permitting development without
regard for consequences.
In response, Council President Edwards concurred with the majority of
Councilman Tanner's comments, but stated that the Fiscal
Analysis/Economic Development Task Force for King County/countywide
policies has been addressing the potential problems associated with urban
centers. Mr. Edwards stated that the Kent East Hill should not be
considered a model for an urban center because affordability, and not type
of land usage, is the issue. He also noted that urban centers as designated
in Renton's plan have valuable land that can be used for commercial or
up-scale and expensive housing, and stated that problems occurring on the
Kent East Hill point out that urban centers do not solve the countywide
problem of affordable housing.

Comprehensive Plan: Councilman Stredicke stated that letters have been received from the City
Buffer Conditions Attorney, Planning Department, and Police Department regarding the
condition of buffers between single-family and commercial zones. He

SPECIAL Tom Madden, Project Engineer for Washington State Department of
PRESENTATION Transportation (WSDOT), introduced Rick Dempsey, Assistant Project
WSDOT: I-405 S- Engineer, and Charlie McCoy, Guy F. Atkinson Company, who presented
Curve Project Mayor Clymer a framed photograph as a memento of the demolition of
the old I-405 S-Curve viaducts.
Mr. Madden presented an update of the I-405 S-Curve project stating
that: Cedar River bridge demolition will be completed in early October;
work in the Cedar River was completed within the fish window; and, the
fish window in the flood plain has been extended to 9/15/93. He also
noted that the N. 3rd Street girders were set last week and the center
section deck will be poured in early September; the girders over SR-169
will be set on 9/2/93 with a total closure of SR-169 and lane closures on
I-405; and, that construction of the wall to separate northbound and
974
August 23 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 374
southbound traffic at the north end of the project continues. He advised
that a total of 19 noise nights have been used.
Mr. Madden stated that Renton Avenue will be closed on 9/7, 9/8, and
9/14 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for column removal.
In response to inquiry from Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler, Mr. Madden
said that there will be pedestrian access to Renton Hill during the closure
period, and that all open areas will be secure once the final slopes are
finished.
Ruthie Larson, 714 High Avenue, Renton 98055, questioned the status of
the fire hydrant located in the middle of the street at the bottom of
Renton Hill, and the area created to hold traffic coming from Cedar
Avenue, and she stated that S. 3rd Street needs to be repaired. Mr.
Madden responded that work around the fire hydrant is complete, and
asphalt, curb, gutter, and patchwork remain to be completed on Cedar
Avenue, Mill Avenue, and S. 3rd Street.
Rosemary Grassi, P. O. Box 1188, Renton 98057, asked why the area to
be landscaped looks smaller than the original diagram and model. Mr.
Madden reported that preliminary landscape design has not been started,
but will begin sometime next spring. He also said that the project has
been tentatively scheduled for spring, 1995, depending on the budget, but
noted that erosion control procedures are in place. He clarified that no
landscaping was done on the Mercer Island Lid project during
construction because of district directives that do not permit landscaping
until the contractors are finished.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and
H&HS: 1994 published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened

allocate the 1994 CDBG pass-through funds in the amount of $350,354
which are divided among three areas: Planning and Administration,
Public (Human) Services, and Capital. She stated that $31,092 was
allocated to Planning and Administration; $49,080 was allocated to Human
Services, with funding application requests in excess of $112,000; and
Capital allocations of $270,182, with requests totaling over $319,000. Ms.
Sundvall noted that for funding year 1994, requests under $5,000 cannot

interpretive services for the deaf and hard of hearing for City-generated
p 8
meetings, and $5,000 to fund the Renton Clothes Bank which can no
longer meet Housing and Urban Development requirements.

Councilwoman Mathews requested that the public hearing sheet be
corrected to reflect the Planning and Development Committee
recommendation to schedule a public hearing, and stated that the
Committee did not recommend Council concurrence with the applicant's
request.
Mary Lynne Myer, Principal Planner, stated that this request will allow
truck sales and service as a primary permitted use in the Commercial
Arterial (CA) zone. She stated that the sales of auto, boats, motorcycles,
recreational vehicles, equipment rental and leasing, and auto repair and
service are primary permitted uses in the CA zone, and that according to
the Standard Industrial Classification system, buses are categorized as
trucks, so this change will also allow buses in these areas.
Councilman Tanner questioned who generated the request for truck sales
and service in the CA zone. He stated that the request would affect all
CA zones in the City, and not a specific property, and the referral did
not have a name or address on it. In response, Councilman Schlitzer
advised that he had brought forth the suggestion for property located on
East Valley Road.
In response to inquiry from Councilman Stredicke, Ms. Myer stated that
this request will require State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review
because of the potential impacts on the aquifer, noise, light, and glare to
the adjacent single family areas. She requested that Council allow staff
three weeks to conduct a SEPA review. Ms. Myer responded to inquiry
from Councilwoman Mathews clarifying that the sale of pick-up trucks is
allowed in the CA zone because they are classified as automobiles. She
also confirmed that the review process can be stopped at any time by
Council.
Audience comment was invited.
Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton 98055, expressed
opposition to the proposed CA zoning designation change, stating that
trucks and buses cause pollution to the underground water source, air,
and senses, and that aquifer protection should be a primary concern.
Bill Bryant, Bryant Motors, 1300 Bronson Way N., Renton 98055, on N.
2nd Street, supported the request to permit truck sales and service in the
CA zone, and responded to neighbors concerns stating that his business
could be separated from the residential area by placing a 15-foot buffer
along r?. 2nd, a site-obscuring sound fence, a door on the east of his
building to eliminate the use of 2nd Street as an entrance to the business,
and a parking lot. He also stated that a business owner would not
consider purchasing property in the CA zone for truck sales and service
because of the conditional use process.
Beverly Franklin, P. O. Box 685, Renton 98057, expressed opposition to
the proposed change in the CA zone because it would include heavy
industrial uses such as truck and bus repair that would encroach on
single-family residential areas. She also stated that uses associated with
truck service such as welding, machine shops, the use of oils, etc. would
conflict with the Aquifer Protection Ordinance.
Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton 98057, opposed the change to the
CA zoning designation and circulated a handout and petition that were
previously submitted to Council. She requested that the following
377 F
August 23 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 377
requirements be added to the CA zone: minimum lot acreage be
established to accommodate turning radiuses; not allow truck sales and
service facilities within Zone 1 of the aquifer; consider that large trucks
average 240 gallons of fuel per vehicle; require construction of a noise
wall; limit trucks with large loads; not allow any refrigerated units; and
require off-street delivery.
Bob Sterbank, Attorney, Peter Eglick and Associates, 900-4th Avenue,
Suite 1212, Seattle 98164, representing North Renton-Kennydale
Neighborhood Defense Fund, expressed concern about the Comprehensive
Plan Errata Process stating that the Errata Process is not an errata to the
Comprehensive Plan, but to the interim zoning ordinance. He stated that
the interim zoning ordinance was passed without any SEPA process, and
that there is an appeal pending before the City hearing examiner. Mr.
Sterbank also stated that SEPA requires an environmental review prior to
any action being taken, and that all proposals must be accompanied by a
enN ironmental checklist.
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY TANNER, CLOSE THE
PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
Councilman Stredicke stated that all Errata Process requests will be
referred to the Planning Department, and he asked staff to prepare a
form for Errata Process requests that will require a legal description of
the property, the specific request, and the name, address, and signature of
the requesting party. He stated that because the CA zoning abuts single-
family residential zoning and is located over the aquifer, it should not be
intensified or expanded.
Councilman Stredicke also requested that the City Attorney review the
non-conforming use that is on presently-zoned property where vehicles
are parked without benefit of a parking lot, and determine whether a
vehicle parked for other than the primary use must be in a parking lot.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler also requested that the Errata Process
lowforms should be available at Council meetings. MOVED BY
STREDICKE, SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL DENY THE
ERRATA REQUEST FOR TRUCK SALES AND SERVICE IN THE
COMMERCIAL ARTERIAL (CA) ZONE.*
Councilwoman Mathews disclosed that she received a call from Versie
Vaupel prior to the public hearing asking for her commitment on this
issue, to which she declined. She also asked if Council denied this
request, what impact it would have on Mr. Bryant's request for a
temporary parking permit. In response, Mary Lynne Myer clarified that
any request for temporary parking permit would be required to meet the
criteria of the hearing examiner conditional use process.
Council President Edwards requested clarification from the City Attorney
of the SEPA process. *MOTION CARRIED.
Comprehensive Plan: This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and
Errata, Duplexes in published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened
MR Zone the public hearing to consider reducing the per unit minimum lot area
required for duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes in the mixed residential
(MR) zone from 3,000 square feet per unit to 2,500 square feet per unit.

August 23 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 378
Mary Lynne Myer, Principal Planner, reviewed the Errata request which
was generated by a property owner on Mill Avenue S. She stated that a
capacity study has been performed with multi-family and mixed
residential zoning realizing potential density on all parcels. She also noted
that the mix between single family and multi-family remains close to
50/50 if the urban growth areas are included.
Councilman Tanner expressed his opinion that if the urban center
designation is included, the percentage of multi-family zoned area would
be about 70%, which does not include the Talbot Road areas that are
currently zoned multi-family.
Audience comment was invited.
Rosemary Grassi, P. O. Box 1188, Renton 98057, owner of lots at 422 and
425 Cedar Avenue South, expressed opposition to the change in mixed
residential (MR) zoning, stating that there is already a growing
environmental problem on Renton Hill. She stated that since the existing
apartments were built, her back yard is littered, fruit is taken from her
trees, and there have been fights and arrests on her property. Ms. Grassi
stated that traffic is heavy, and vehicles are driving through the alley, up
4th Avenue South, turning, and going down Cedar at all hours of the day
making it unsafe to walk across street. She opposed an increase in
density which would be allowed if the request was approved.
Randolph Lemke, 415 Cedar Avenue S., Renton 980955, opposed the
reduced minimum square footage to allow more multi-family units and
increase the density in the Renton Hill area. He stated that there have
been an number of incidents in the alley, and problems with parking and
traffic because of the increased density on Mill Avenue S.
Elizabeth Beckman, 435 Cedar Avenue S., Renton 98055, expressed
opposition to the increased density stating that it will add to the existing
parking problems on Mill Avenue.
Denise Cozza, 433 Cedar Avenue S., Renton 98055, opposed the increased .,.,
density, and expressed concern that any individual can apply for a rezone
through an errata request that would affect an entire area, noting she had
attended meetings through the Comprehensive Plan review process.
Ira Franklin 537 Williams Avenue N. Renton 98055 addressed the
Valley Daily News article concerning the increase in crime on Kent East
Hill, and requested that Council reconsider designating Renton as an
urban center. He stated that even with expensive housing, crimes
increase if there are too many people in a small area.

SPECIAL Rick Dempsey, Assistant Project Engineer for the Washington State
PRESENTATION Department of Transportation (WSDOT) I-405 S-Curve project, reported that
WSDOT: I-405 S-Curve work is progressing well, 19 noise nights have been used, and the fish window
Project for the Cedar River flood plain work will end 9/15 with no problems
anticipated. He stated that Renton Avenue will be closed 9/14 and 9/15 from
8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for demolition of the old freeway and that work
continues on 1-405 to replace the mid-section over Third Avenue and SR-169
with no anticipated closures. Mr. Dempsey noted that work is proceeding on
the Cedar River bridge foundation and columns, and there will be some
paving on I-405 toward end of the month. The Community Center parking
lot has been scheduled for paving later this week, and construction of the
pedestrian bridge over Cedar River should begin before the end of the month.
In response to inquiry from Councilman Stredicke, Mr. Dempsey stated that
WSDOT is taking pictures daily of the entire construction project. Marjorie
Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton 98055, questioned when the
paving of SR-169 under I-405 will be completed. Mr. Dempsey responded
that this area will be resurfaced some time in the spring of 1994.
PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Comprehensive Plan: in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Errata, Basiak hearing to consider the Edward Basiak request for clarification of Zoning
Code language allowing zero side yard setbacks for primary structures in a
single family (SF) zone.
Mary Lynne Myer, Principal Planner, explained that the purpose of the public
hearing is to determine whether zero side yard setbacks in the single family
zone should be a permitted use. She stated that the previous Code established
a normal platting pattern with five-foot setbacks, but the existing Code allows
a zero side yard setback which means that a dwelling unit could be built
n�
September 13, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 389
directly on one side or the other of the property line. Ms. Myer noted that if
a zero side yard setback is considered by Council, the following alternative
patterns could be considered: zipper lots; zero side yard setback; zero lot line
development; angled "Z" lots; and "Z" lots.
In response to inquiry from Councilwoman Mathews, Ms. Myer stated that the
minimum lot size would remain the same for any of the configurations, and
that the alternative configurations were designed to accommodate smaller new
developments only. She also noted that currently, no standard exists for
location of zero lot line developments. Ms. Myer clarified that the Zoning
Code implies if a zero setback is permitted on one side yard, then 10 feet
would be required on the other side yard, but that would be determined by
the zoning administrator. She also explained that although there is a common
wall for some of the alternative configurations, they are not considered
duplexes; they will be separate homes and have separate ownership.
In response to Councilwoman Nelson's inquiry, Ms. Myer stated that these
configurations could exist on corner lots. City Attorney Warren also clarified
for Councilwoman Nelson that City regulations must be established for these
configurations, and individuals will not be allowed to modify those rules once
they are adopted by Council.
Council President Edwards questioned how the development standards for
alternative configurations will differ in the Zoning Code for existing
neighborhoods and new developments. In response, Mary Lynne Myer
explained that the current Single Family section of the Zoning Code addresses
development standards, and states that irregularly-shaped lots such as the "Z"
and zipper lots shall be permitted provided the lots meet development
standards. She stated that language could be added to maintain a standard
platting pattern, but it would be the same for all single-family neighborhoods
within the City.
Councilwoman Mathews requested a report from the Fire Department on the
effect of these alternative configurations on the Fire Code, and Code
requirements when a new home is built directly on the property line of an
rw existing five-foot side yard setback.
In response to inquiry from Mayor Clymer, Ms. Myer stated that Renton
currently has "Z" lot configurations in areas annexed from King County, and
also a zero lot line development near Exit 7 in north Renton. She also noted
that property maintenance details have not been defined.
Audience comment was invited.
Mike Potoshnik, 3403 Burnett Avenue N., Renton 98055, questioned whether
fire insurance rates would be impacted by the new configurations. Mayor
Clymer stated that this issue will be reviewed.
Lloyd Hoshide, 833 Kirkland Avenue NE, Renton 98056, stated that he would
object to the construction of a home with a zero side yard adjacent to his
property. He also expressed objection to the alternative configurations, except
those that share a common wall.
Beverly Franklin, P. O. Box 685, Renton 98057, expressed concern that as a
non-smoking homeowner insurance rates will increase because of the
alternative configurations, and requested Council to review these concerns
before a decision is made.

MATTER BACK TO THE PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE.
CARRIED.
Comprehensive Plan: This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Errata, Callen in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
hearing to consider the request of Fred Callen for reconsideration of the
Mixed Commercial (CM) zoning classification for property located at 107
Logan Avenue S. to allow duplex use.
Mary Lynne Myer, Principal Planner, stated that the purpose of this public
hearing is to address the request of Mr. Callen to allow construction of a 4-
plex or 6-plex unit on his 5,000 square foot lot adjacent to Renton High
School. She stated because of the lot size, the owner is unable to meet both
the density and the parking requirements of the Zoning Code. The Planning
& Development Committee recommended that no change to the zoning map be
made, but that the CM zone be changed to allow one parking space per multi-
family unit, if the square footage of the lot is too small to meet both the
required minimum density and the parking requirement. Ms. Myer noted that
the current parking requirement is 1.5 spaces for multi-family units, and the
Parking Code will have to be changed to specify one parking space per multi-
family unit. Ms. Myer also stated that this change would only apply to small
parcels.
In response to inquiry from Council President Edwards, Ms. Myer stated that
this matter could be addressed by the variance process, but that Mr. Callen
would be required to show hardship, and that this process requires more time
and permit fees for the property owner. Council President Edwards expressed
concern that because this would change the parking ordinance affecting the
entire City, if a new building was constructed that did not provide sufficient
parking, there would be parking on streets in front of other residences.
moo
City Attorney Warren clarified that the variance procedure will not assist an
individual if they participated in the creation of a situation such as a property
subdivision, and once the final Zoning Code is adopted by Council, any
individual purchasing property with this type of restriction would not be able
to show hardship as required to request a variance.
Councilman Stredicke stated that this change will allow a property owner to
construct a larger building with less parking in the CM zone, thus encouraging
maximum density growth for the downtown area.
Councilwoman Mathews commented that the Planning & Development
Committee also requested that this change would be permitted only for
developments of eight units or less, for the relatively small infill lots.
Audience comment was invited.
Roger Blaylock, 535 Williams Avenue N., Renton 98055, stated that the "no
parking" provision of the parking and loading ordinance could be expanded to
cover the core area without changing all CM zones in the City. Mary Lynne
Myer responded that the Planning & Development Committee did review that
option, but chose the one that was presented.

Del Rowan, P.O. Box 3707, Seattle, 98124, announced his upcoming retirement
from the Boeing Company and stated it was a privilege to work with City of
Renton staff over the last four years. Commenting on several projects in
particular which he felt had resulted in successful public/private partnerships,
he concluded by congratulating Council and the Mayor on the caliber of staff.
PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Comprehensive Plan: in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Errata, Hsue hearing to consider the Kwai-Shung Hsue request for a zoning change from
Public Use (P-1) to Commercial Arterial (CA) for vacant property located at
approximately 110 Lake Avenue S.
Mary Lynne Myer, Principal Planner, explained that under the current
Comprehensive Plan, Mr. Hsue's property maintained its original zoning of
P-1 (Public Use) at Council's specific direction to preserve all P-1 zoning. In
this case, however, granting the request to rezone the property to Commercial
Arterial (CA) would make it consistent with surrounding properties. Ms.
Myer added that after Mr. Hsue requested the zoning change for his property,
an adjacent property owner, Gladys Wilson, also expressed interest in rezoning
to CA. A third property owner may seek a rezone as well, but at this time
only Mr. Hsue's and Ms. Wilson's requests are being considered. Ms. Myer
404
September 20 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 404
concluded by noting that the Planning and Development Committee
recommended that this issue be brought to the full Council for a public
hearing.
Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler, Ms. Myer said although
several properties currently zoned P-1 are privately owned, these are unusual.
Audience comment was invited.
Jennifer Brock, 205 S. Tobin St., asked that if Council approves the rezones as
requested, it specify that no development will be allowed on these properties
until adequate drainage systems have been installed. She gave examples of the
flooding problems in this area, saying that further development will only
exacerbate the situation by decreasing the amount of permeable land. Ms.
Brock concluded by suggesting that, as an alternative, the property could
remain P-1 and be used as a public park.
In response to Councilman Stredicke, Ms. Myer said under CA zoning, site
plans are required for secondary uses but not for primary uses. She added
that the City's drainage standards are applied to all properties, with or without
a site plan.
Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler, Lynn Guttman, Public Works
Director, said because of the limited capital improvement program, only minor
flood-reduction projects were accomplished in this area. She added that the
project on Logan will not sufficiently relieve the area's current drainage
problems.
MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING. CARRIED.
Noting that the two sites are completely surrounded by CA properties,
Councilman Stredicke said it would be appropriate to grant the rezone request.
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL

APPROXIMATELY 110 LAKE AVENUE SOUTH FROM PUBLIC USE (P-
1) TO COMMERCIAL ARTERIAL (CA). CARRIED.
Comprehensive Plan: This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Errata, Moore in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
hearing to consider the Lynne Moore request for clarification of Zoning Code
language defining building "story."
Ms. Myer explained that Ms. Moore's question on the definition of a building
"story" in the Zoning Code relates to whether a daylight basement in a single
family zone constitutes a story. Ms. Myer reviewed the definition of a "story"
according to the Zoning Code, which is "That portion of a building included
between the surface of any floor and the surface of the floor or ceiling, if
there is no floor, above it." Ms. Myer noted Ms. Moore's concern that this
definition could be interpreted to mean that a "daylight basement" would
constitute the first story in a single family home.
Noting that the Uniform Building Code (UBC) provides a more specific
definition of a "story," Ms. Myer said staff generally uses the UBC definition
for development review. The Planning and Development Committee
recommended that a public hearing be held to consider amending the Code to
include the Uniform Building Code definition of a "story," as follows: "Story,
first, is the lowest story in a building which qualifies as a story, as defined
405
September 20, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 405
herein, except that a floor level in a building having only one floor level shall
be classified as a first story, provided such floor level is not more than four
feet below grade, as defined herein, for more than 50 percent of the total
perimeter, or not more than eight feet below grade, as defined herein, at any
point."
Ms. Myer stated that adopting the UBC definition would allow single family
dwellings to have daylight basements as well as first and second stories, while
still meeting height requirements contained in the Code.
MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING. CARRIED.
MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, TO

Comprehensive Plan: This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Parker PUD in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
hearing to consider the contract rezone for the Parker PUD from Resource
Conservation (RC) to Single Family Low Density for Lots I through 3, and
from Planned Neighborhood Residential (PNR) to Multi-Family (MF) for Lot
4 for property located at approximately the 2800 block of Royal Hills Drive.
Correspondence was read from Carol and Ronald Goss, 2720 S.E. 16th St.,
opposing the development of multi-family on this site and suggesting that if
Council does approve the rezone, it require the developer to provide full-time
security on site as well as traffic lights on Royal Hills Drive.
Ms. Myer briefly reviewed the history of this site, noting that, last April, the
Planning and Development Committee (PDC) had recommended a Single
Family Low Density designation and Resource Conservation zoning for the
entire site. In May, the property owner asked for reconsideration, and the
following month Council recommended a Planned Neighborhood Residential
designation for the site with a density no greater than that allowed by the
previously-approved PUD.
The property owner subsequently requested that Lot 4 be zoned Multi-Family,
and that Lots 1 through 3 be zoned Single Family Low Density. The PDC
directed staff to prepare a contract rezone based on the previously approved
but expired PUD for Lot 4, such contract rezone to include the proposal to
develop Lots 1 through 3 as large, single family lots with a density of one unit
per acre.
Ms. Myer explained that, over the course of this site's history, the City has
acquired some of the property through purchases and donations. Noting that
the original PUD and building permits for Lot 4 expired in May of 1992, she
said the rezone request is for a residential community of 307 multi-family
units that would include two community buildings. She concluded that the
zoning requested on Lot 4 would approximate the previously-approved PUD,
saying that a land use designation of SF4 with a zoning of Mixed Residential
(MR) would appropriately address both the land use policies for the area and
the site's constraints. She added that zoning Lots 1-3 Single Family, Low
Density Residential (SFL) would also be appropriate.
Audience comment was invited.

Roger Blaylock, 865 - 106th Ave. N.E., Bellevue, 98004, responded to a
question from Councilman Stredicke by demonstrating on a map the location
of the proposed primary access to the development, which would be off of
Royal Hills Drive.
Mr. Blaylock gave a brief presentation of the site's history, saying that the
transfer to the City of 105 acres of the property's total 170 acres was intended
to allow clustering of development on the remaining portion of the site, 35
acres of which is proposed to be multi-family. Mr. Blaylock emphasized that
inherent in the proposal is an equity issue, given that the City has already
acquired 75 acres (25 via purchase, 50 through donation), and stands to
receive another 30 acres. Referring to Lots 1-3, he explained the request that
the current zoning of Resource Conservation for these properties be changed
to allow one acre lots rather than ten acre lots.
Mr. Blaylock urged that Lot 4 be rezoned Multi-Family, saying that not only
would this achieve consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and the
Zoning Code, it would also be consistent with the adjacent Royal Hills
development.
Responding to Council President Edwards, Mr. Blaylock said the current
proposal for Lot 4 is identical to the previously-approved, final PUD for this
site. Mr. Blaylock added that the current owner of the property purchased it
on the understanding that it had certain development opportunities, some of
which were created through the property donation to the City.
Councilman Stredicke felt that if the development were approved, the access
road would have to be widened and signalization added. He preferred to have
the property owner responsible for these improvements. Mr. Blaylock replied
that although one condition of the development involves widening and
channelization of the road, signalization was not required.
In response to Council President Edwards, Ms. Myer explained that, while
staff recommends the contract rezone be allowed for the multi-family PUD, it
suggests that the underlying land use designation be SF4 mix rather than the
Multi-Family designation preferred by the developer.
Audience comment was invited. The following individuals spoke in
opposition to the proposal:
Darell J. Smith, 2430 S.E. 8th Pl., Renton, 98055
Franklin Morgan, 3301 S.E. 20th Ct., Renton, 98055

Susan Brumfield, 1517 Rolling Hills Ave. S.E., Renton
Wayne Cho, 2065 S.E. 8th Pl., Renton, 98055
The speakers' comments focused on six general areas of concern and are
summarized as follows:
September 20, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 407
Environmental. Preservation of the Resource Conservation area for the sake
of the area's wildlife; protection of the aquifer; concern that the
environmental studies were completed prior to completion of Falcon
Ridge, thereby excluding the consideration of cumulative impacts.
Drainage. Water runoff from Falcon Ridge and erosion into Cedar River.
Traffic. The amount of traffic generated by a multi-family project; concern
that one access into the development would be insufficient and that
Falcon Ridge is not viable as an alternate through access; concern with
congestion/safety problems at the intersection at Royal Hills/Puget
Drive/116th; potential for more cut-through traffic through adjacent
neighborhoods; suggestion that developer should help pay for mitigation
for traffic impacts.
Power lines. Concerns regarding health effects from electromagnetic fields
(EMFs).
Crime. Concerns that the area already experiences a high rate of crime, and
more development would increase this.
Schools. Comments that schools in the area are already crowded; suggestions
that the developer should help pay for mitigating any impacts on the
schools.
Mr. Blaylock reiterated that the City gained a great deal in the original
negotiations, primarily the highly desirable shoreline along the Cedar River
which was acquired for the public good.
Responding to Councilwoman Mathews, Larry Warren, City Attorney, said
Council could decide to have the Environmental Review Committee (ERC)
revisit the transportation portion of the environmental review that was
performed. Mr. Warren added that the intersection at Puget/116th/Royal Hills
was considered, but he could not say to what degree of detail.
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CLOSE
THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler commented on her dislike of the Parker PUD
low proposal, noting her agreement with those who testified that this area has
changed dramatically over the last several years. Although she generally
supported soccer fields, she felt that the PUD was not appropriate and that
there was no compelling reason to continue with it.
Moved by Keolker-Wheeler, seconded by Stredicke, that, barring an
insurmountable legal obstacle, Council deny the contract rezone and allow the
area to revert back to Resource Conservation.*
Mr. Warren cautioned that, according to State law, the City must allow some
reasonable return on the value of the land. He suggested that this issue be
studied further to determine whether Resource Conservation is an appropriate
use for the land.
Councilwoman Mathews suggested referring this issue back to the PDC.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler agreed to accept this suggestion, with the
condition that Council's intentions are indicated to establish a zoning category
that is more single family in density, and to deal with the legal ramifications
of the issue.

- Concessions at Coulon for concessions at Coulon Park, saying this has not been adequately explained
Park to residents. After raising various questions on this issue, he concluded by
asking that Council support the effort to retain Ivar's.
Council President Edwards replied that Council has only authorized the Parks
Department to enter into negotiations with McDonald's for these concessions.
Adding that initial negotiations with McDonald's have not been satisfactory to
the City, City Attorney Warren said a report will be issued to Council in the
next few weeks.
Citizen Comment: Larson Ruthie Larson, 714 High Ave. S., Renton, 98055, reported that, contrary to
- Damage to S. 3rd St. promises from the State and from the contractor working on the S-Curve
from S-Curve project project, the damage to S. 3rd Street has not been repaired.
Police Captain Don Persson confirmed that these promises were made but have
yet to be kept. Noting that Washington State Department of Transportation

Road to allow additional work, he suggested that this authorization not be
provided until the damage to S. 3rd Street, and its sidewalk, is repaired.

Errata, Black River hearing to consider the Black River Corporate Park request for modifications
Corporate Park to the Commercial Office (CO) zone.
Mary Lynne Myer, Principal Planner, explained that the request has two parts:
the first asks that an existing site plan be adopted as an existing use within
the Commercial Office (CO) zone, and the second asks for modifications to
the CO zone. Specifically, the following changes to the CO zone are proposed:
a) addition of outdoor storage as an Administrative Conditional Use; b)
addition of a waiver provision for the 33 percent of gross floor area limitation
on the size of parking garages; and c) inclusion of an existing use provision
for the Black River Corporate Park Phase VII and VIII site plan, approved by
the Hearing Examiner on 1/14/92.
Noting that the staff recommendation is for Council to approve the changes as
requested, Ms. Myer emphasized that the changes would affect not only the
Black River Corporate Park site, but all CO-zoned areas in the City. She
described the proposed language modifications to implement the changes, as
follows:
A. Change the Commercial Office zone under administrative conditional use
to read:
Seotember 27 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 418
1. Outdoor storage if associated with a permitted use and if
appropriately screened.
2. Indoor storage accessory to a permitted use will be allowed to exceed
the 33°x6 floor area limit as a conditional use where adverse impacts
are appropriately mitigated and the use is part of a mixed tenancy
and/or use development where the average amount of indoor storage,
accessory to all permitted uses, does not exceed 33°x6 of the total
development's gross floor area.
3. Accessory parking garages will be allowed to exceed 33% of the gross
floor area limit, as a conditional use, where adverse impacts are
appropriately mitigated and said parking is consistent with the State
Commute Trip Reduction Act. ,
B. Include the following language in the Commercial Office zone under "B.
Permitted Uses, 2. Secondary Uses":
1. Indoor storage if part of a mixed office/light industrial or mixed
office/manufacturing complex.
C. That the following language be inserted into the "B. Permitted Uses, 1.
Primary Uses" of the Commercial Office zone:
Existing Use Designation: Property located within the Commercial Office
zone shall be given an existing proposed development designation, which
will vest the property to the prior Office Park (O-P) zoning regulations,
if the property has one or more of the following: an existing valid site
plan or any Council-approved time extension to an existing site plan, as
well as any same or similar site plan as defined in Section 4-31-33.F.
Major Adjustments, for which the application has been made prior to the
lapse of an approved site plan, and which application is diligently
pursued. In no case will an existing or approved site plan, or the uses
under it, continue to be recognized under prior zoning regulations if
construction has not commenced by the year 2001.
Ms. Myer noted that, under the new language in Permitted Use/Primary Use, r
as set out above, only the existing approved office park site plan for the Black
River Corporate Park would be vested as no other existing site plans in the
CO zone would apply.
Responding to Councilman Tanner, Ms. Myer said while the State Commute
Trip Reduction Act does not limit the amount of parking spaces that can be
provided on a work site, the proposed language would require that any
accessory parking garages exceeding 33% of the gross floor area limit be
consistent with the Act. Ms. Myer added that this requirement attempts to
respond to the relationship between the amount of on-site parking provided
by an employer, and the commute habits of its employees.
Councilman Stredicke raised concerns regarding outdoor storage, commenting
in particular on a case where this provision was misused. He was interested in
limiting the height of the allowable outdoor storage, and Ms. Myer suggested
that Council could consider restricting this to 35 feet, or one story height.
Responding to Council President Edwards, Ms. Myer said while negotiations
did touch on the possibility of rezoning the property to Light Industrial (IL),
the applicant did not favor this because of concerns that the amount of office
development in the existing site plan would be an anomaly in IL.
Audience comment was invited.

OLD BUSINESS Planning and Development Committee Chairman Stredicke presented a report
Plannine & Development regarding the Errata Process, E-2, E-26, and E-28.
Committee
A. Referred for public hearing:
The Planning and Development Committee has reviewed the following
requests: E-2, E-26, and E-28, and has referred them to a public hearing
and for Council consideration.
Comprehensive Plan: 1. E-2 Michael D. Simon: Request to grant Class A Noncomforming Use
Errata, Simon status to a single family dwelling in the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone at
420 S.W. Sunset Boulevard and to rezone the parcel and an adjacent
parcel with a single family dwelling from Commercial Arterial (CA) to
Single Family (SF).
Planning and Development Committee Review: This rezone request
would require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the parcel's
land use designation from "Employment Area - Commercial' to "Single
Family Residential." The Committee is of the opinion that a public
hearing should be held on this request jointly with all other
Comprehensive Plan amendments generated by the Errata and
Comprehensive Plan update process, such hearing to be held prior to
adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in July, 1994. The intent of
granting Class A nonconforming use status to the applicant's single family
dwelling is to ensure the integrity of the use until the Comprehensive
Plan amendment is appreved considered.
Action: Council,concur with granting of Class A nonconforming status
and concur with scheduling a public hearing for the Comprehensive Plan r''
Amendment and Rezone, jointly with all other proposed Comprehensive
Plan Amendments prior to adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in July,
1994.

Comprehensive Plan: 2. E-26 Rolund Pfulman: Request to modify the administrative conditional
Errata, Pfulman use section of the Single Family (SF) zone to allow administrative
conditional review permitting four or more smaller sized household pets
per dwelling unit.
Planning and Development Committee Review: The existing Single
Family zone limits the number of household pets to three. As an
administrative conditional use, up to eight household pets can be allowed
on lots larger than 35,000 square feet. No smaller sized household pets
over three in number are currently allowed on lots under 35,000 square
feet. The proposed Administrative Conditional use language would allow
more than three smaller pets to inhabit a dwelling unit in the Single
Family (SF) zone. The proposed language for 4-31-5 (3.f.) is "Household
Pets: Four (4) or more household pets, maintained as a hobby or for
September 27, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 421
breeding purposes, which are kept in aquariums, terrariums, aviaries, or
similar containers." The Committee reviewed the applicant's presentation
and is of the opinion that a public hearing be held so the full Council can
consider the request as stated as above.

Industrial (IL) zone currently allows vehicle storage as an accessory use.
The request is to make the IM and IH zones consistent with the IL zone.
The Committee reviewed the applicant's presentation and is of the
opinion that a Public Hearing be held so the full Council can consider the
request as stated above.

Responding to a comment from Councilman Stredicke, Lynn Guttmann,
Public Works Administrator, said repairs to S. 3rd Street had already been
scheduled to take place prior to last week's appeal before Council from a
Renton Hill resident regarding this matter.
Utility: Rate Study Mayor Clymer introduced the Utilities Rate Study presentation by reviewing
Presentation the.City's overall utilities mission statement, which is to: provide citizens with
an adequate supply of good quality drinking water; ensure sufficient storage to
meet safety and fireflow requirements; maintain the infrastructure; convey
wastewater to METRO; provide adequate drainage and surface water control;
improvq surface water quality; and keep rates as low as possible.
Commenting on the importance of water, Mayor Clymer said Renton is the
only city in the area that is not urgently seeking a new water source. He
noted the expense of meeting stringent federal water quality standards, and
said Renton has done a good job in this respect. Although Renton's water
rates may seem high, history will show that it has generally taken two hours'
wages to purchase a month's worth of water, and that is still true today.
Emphasizing the responsibility each city has to maintain its water system in
good working order to assure a constant supply to its citizens, Mayor Clymer
concluded by saying that the proposed increases are equitable.
Gregg Zimmerman, Utility Systems Director, explained that the Utilities Rate
Study has been split into three parts: revenue requirements, cost allocation
and rate structure. Tonight's presentation will address the first component,
revenue requirements. Work is continuing on the cost allocation and rate
structure portions of the study.
Mr. Zimmerman iterated the reasons for escalating utilities costs. These
include inflation, increased taxes, more rigorous federal regulations, and the
need to maintain and improve infrastructure to meet fireflow demands.
Additional reasons for increased costs experienced by the Water Utility
include the need to replace aging and undersized pipelines; the need to plan
and prepare for a backup water supply and growth; and the recently enacted
aquifer protection program. Mr. Zimmerman noted that the City has adopted
,r fairly strong standards to ensure that development mitigates increased runoff.
Continuing, Mr. Zimmerman commented on the chart comparing Renton's
utility rates with those of nearby jurisdictions (cities and utility districts). Of
the twelve jurisdictions compared, Renton ranked seventh in the highest
average monthly aggregate cost for water, sewer, storm water and solid waste
service to single family residential customers. The average monthly cost of all
12 jurisdictions surveyed was $60.05; the cost to Renton users was $59.15, or
$0.90 below the average.
Mr. Zimmerman concluded by noting that the City Council is considering
various actions to reduce future rate increases. Possible actions include
cutting over $270,000 from the 1994 water, wastewater and surface water
budgets, and, over the next six years, eliminating six utility projects while
reducing the scope of and/or deferring 25 others.
Councilwoman Mathews questioned how these cuts would affect average
monthly cost to users, and Mr. Zimmerman agreed to provide this information
as soon as possible.
Tom Gould, Senior Associate from Economic and Engineering Services, Inc.
and project manager for the Utilities Rate Study, reviewed the report to
Council on this subject. Mr. Gould began by noting that currently, the
O tober 4 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 430
average monthly residential utility bill in Renton is $59.94; however, $13.62 of
this amount represents pass-through charges from METRO. Although the
rates proposed for 1994 would increase the average bill by 9.6% to $65.72, the
METRO portion will increase by $2.28. Thus, the non-METRO charges
would increase by $3.50 (7.6%), from $46.32 to $49.82.
Mr. Gould then outlined the financial planning and rate-setting criteria used
for the study. Several financial policies were assumed, including that the
utilities should financially stand on their own and that cost of service should
be the basis for allocating costs. Another assumption was that rates should
adequately support the CIP program/utility infrastructure.
Mr. Gould explained how revenue requirements for each of the utilities were
developed, noting these utilized a "cash basis" approach for setting rates.
Saying that utility revenues go to pay.for operation and maintenance, taxes,
debt service, and capital projects, he added that not all capital improvements
can be debt-financed. Revenue requirements were projected from 1994 to the
year 2000, providing both a short-term and a long-term horizon to better even
out rates over time.
Mr. Gould commented on the recommendation that, as a policy, the City
finances capital improvements from rates equal to or up to two times greater
than depreciation expense. Such a policy would recognize that, when worn-
out or obsolete facilities are replaced, their replacement costs will more than
likely be greater than their depreciation expense. Mr. Gould added that the
City's debt service coverage (DSC) ratio, which is a measure of its ability to
repay borrowed funds, should be targeted at 1.50 to avoid approaching the
1.30 minimum.
Continuing, Mr. Gould reviewed the major assumptions, revenue
requirements, and conclusions and recommendations for each of the three
utilities. Rate recommendations are as follows:
Water Utility - 9.5% increase for 1994, with anticipated future rate
adjustments of 6.1% annually for 1995-2000;
Wastewater Utility - 14.0% increase (for non-METRO charges) in 1994,
with anticipated future rate adjustments of 6.6% annually for 1995-
2000; and
Surface Water Utility - no change in rate for 1994, but it is anticipated
that future rate adjustments would be 7.6% annually for 1995-2000.
Mr. Gould reiterated that the City must increase rates to respond to various
factors. These include: the need for system rehabilitation, inflation costs,
METRO pass-through charges, decreased consumption, and revised State
taxes.
Noting he has always been a strong advocate of the City's utilities, particularly
the water system, Councilman Tanner was nevertheless concerned with rate
increases, both past and anticipated. He questioned the recommendation that
renewals and replacements be funded on a cash basis from rates, saying that
using these revenues for debt service instead would allow phasing capital
improvements over time.
Mr. Gould responded that Renton's debt service coverage ratio is currently
close to the minimum level of 1.30 because the City has been financing the
majority of its capital improvement projects through long-term debt. The
Now

danger is that the City could become so heavily burdened with debt service
payments that it would need to increase rates simply to maintain the minimum
DSC ratio of 1.30. Mr. Gould suggested that rates should be driven not by
the need to meet the DSC ratio, but by the City's actual capital improvement
needs.
Councilman Tanner challenged the recommendation that replacement costs
should be calculated by multiplying a facility's depreciation expense by 150%
to 200%. Adding that the City's policy of recovering system expansion costs
from new users and developers is not working, he also objected to the
`r. impression created by the study that future rate increases will be lower, saying
such predictions rarely come to pass.
Responding to Councilman Stredicke, Mayor Clymer explained that because
the water in City Hall contains rust released from the building's aged
plumbing system, it is unfit for consumption. Bottled water is provided for
employees.
Council President Edwards requested information showing how much of the
East Renton Interceptor will be paid for with new development connection
fees.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Irene McDowell, 1909 Shattuck Ave. S., Renton, 98055, was concerned that
Citizen Comment: the position of Recreation Specialist in the Parks Department responsible for
McDowell, Parks coordinating activities for special populations will be cut to part-time for the
Budget/Special Populations next nine months due to budget considerations. She said this proposal
Recreation Specialist represents an inadequate solution, particularly as the work load of this
program is scheduled to increase in March to prepare for the statewide Special
Olympics event in June. Saying that the City's special populations program
has made a lasting and beneficial impact on the lives of many young people,
she asked that Council approve the hiring of a full-time Recreation Specialist
tan effective in January.
Citizen Comment: Gibb, Barbara Gibb, 13631 S.E. Fairwood Blvd., Renton, 98058, expressed great
Parks Budget/Special concern that the City's special populations program continue to provide the
Populations Recreation necessary leadership for both the Special Olympics preparations and the
Specialist various social events that allow these children to interact with their peers. She
emphasized that it takes 40 hours per week to fulfill these duties, and
someone working only part-time will not be able to accomplish them.
Citizen Comment: Jacobs, Norman Jacobs, 550 Monroe Ave. N.E., Renton, 98056, concurred with the
Parks Budget/Special two previous speakers on this subject. While he appreciated the many years
Populations Recreation the City has funded the special populations program, he feared that assigning
Specialist a part-time position to this program will force it to diminish in activity.

Citizen Comment: Webb, Sandy Webb, 430 Mill Ave. S., Renton, 98055, commented on problems
Traffic in Alley Between resulting from the new Grady/Kemp apartment complex, located at 512 and
Mill and Cedar Avenues 516 Mill Ave. S. Although he questioned whether the buildings' height
South complies with City regulations, he was concerned in particular with the
increasing amount of traffic in the alley located between Mill and Cedar
Avenues that has resulted from this project. Explaining that many of the
parking space's for the new complex are accessible from the alley, even though
Mill Avenue was recently improved to accommodate such traffic, he requested
that the proper corrective actions be taken.
Citizen Comment: South,. Randall South, 518 Williams Ave. N. #4, Renton, 98055, called Council's
Liberty Pool Leaks; attention to the approximately 30,000 gallons of water per year being wasted
Utility Rates at Liberty Park because of cracks in the swimming pool. On another subject,
Mr. South expressed concern that the recommended utility rate increases are
nearly triple the rate of inflation, and questioned whether the City is living
within its means. He suggested that it might be possible to accomplish some
projects for less than projected, and said Council should request proof of
various assertions contained in the Utilities Rate Study.
Citizen Comment: Lloyd Hoshide, 833 Kirkland Ave. N.E., 98056, was troubled by activities

Renton/Highlands allowing large construction vehicles to access the site via NE 9th and Kirkland
Ave., both of which are residential streets, rather than NE 10th, which is a
collector arterial and therefore more appropriate for such traffic. Mr.
Hoshide's second concern related to a City sewer project at NE 9th and
Harrington where, in violation of City regulations, the contractor is using
property zoned Community Commercial (CB) for staging.

CARRIED.
PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Annexation: in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Marshall/Galusha, NE 4th meeting to consider the Marshall/Galusha 10% Notice of Intention petition
and Duvall requesting the commencement of annexation proceedings on approximately
13.19 acres located at the intersection of NE 4th Street and Duvall Avenue
NE. Tie purpose of the annexation is to secure water, sanitary sewer, police
and fire services for the affected parcels.
Mark Pywell, Senior Planner, gave a brief background of this matter, noting
that while Richard Galusha and Gary Marshall had approached the City
separately with their annexation requests, the properties are adjacent to each
other and will be considered together as a single annexation. The total
assessed value of the property is nearly $1.4 million, and signatures on the
annexation petition represent 85% of the total assessed value. Mr. Pywell
commented that Mohammad Saeed Baboldashtian, a property owner directly to
the south, has also expressed interest in annexing to the City although his
property is not currently part of the Marshall/Galusha annexation effort.
Continuing, Mr. Pywell explained that the area's existing zoning in King
County is neighborhood commercial adjacent to NE 4th, with the remainder
size. Renton has re-zoned this area
zoned single family/15,000 minimum lots e. p
for Multi-Family and Community Commercial (CB), but the annexation
proponents are requesting that the entire site be zoned CB. Existing
development is primarily single family, with some commercial and vacant
areas.
October 11, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 441
Noting that the proposed annexation area is within the City's water service
area, Mr. Pywell said additional water main improvements would be required
to nn,eet fireflow demand as the area is developed. Sewer service is not
currently available, but the sewer moratorium in this area will likely be
removed before the end of this year, with a new sewer line extended to the
vicinity in the fall of 1994.
Although most property owners within the annexation area have expressed
support for the proposal, three property owners located on 136th Avenue SE
do not wish to be annexed. Council could decide either to proceed as
suggested and present the 60% Annexation Petition with these properties
included, or direct that these lots be omitted from the annexation effort.
Staff has included them in the annexation area at this time because doing so
makes a more uniform boundary.
Mr. Pywell concluded that, based upon the analysis performed, staff
recommends that Council: accept the 10% Notice of Intent to Annex for the
combined annexation area as recommended by staff, and authorize the
circulation of the 60% Annexation Petition; require the simultaneous
imposition of Community Commercial (CB) zoning on the property at 60%
Annexation Petition; and require the property owners to assume their
proportional share of the city's bonded indebtedness.
Commenting on the City's active solicitation of annexations, Council President
Edwards questioned if additional adjacent properties could be included in this
particular effort. Mr. Pywell offered to research this possibility, adding that
while the actual annexation boundaries do not have to be determined until the
public hearing is held on the 60% Petition, most of the parcels directly to the
south appear to have been developed as single family residences and would
therefore have a fairly high valuation. Mr. Pywell confirmed that the
annexation proposal will require approval by the Boundary Review Board.
Lawrence J. Warren, City Attorney, added that although Council has
traditionally not authorized circulation of the 60% Annexation Petition before
ti.. the annexation boundaries have been established, this is an option.
Audience comment was invited.
Paul A. Lindberg, 13836 SE 131st St., Renton, 98056, spoke as the owner of
property immediately south to the proposed annexation area. He opposed the
annexation, citing concerns such as increasing taxes, density and traffic
congestion as well as the potential for increased runoff from additional
development in the area.
Mr. Pywell replied that resolution of any drainage issues would take place as
part of the site planning process, with new development required to mitigate
impacts.
Dean Tibbott, 17003 NE 28th Pl., Bellevue, 98008, spoke as the owner of
property located directly north across NE 4th from the annexation area.
Although he did not object to the proposed annexation or the recommended
zoning, he wanted to ensure that nothing in the proposal would preempt or
usurp any of his rights or privileges to acquiring utilities for his property as
these are developed in the area. Mr. Tibbott said although the City's surface
water facilities indicate the presence of a ditch on his property, such a ditch
does.not exist. He concurred that this area experiences drainage problems at
times, made evident by backups at the culvert located on the southeast corner
of his property.

Correspondence was read from Nicholas Patruska, 1174 Shelton Ave. NE,
Renton, submitting a petition signed by 144 residents in the area of NE 12th
Street who oppose the rezone request. Correspondence was also read from
Peter and Joan Turnbull, 1316 Queen Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, indicating
opposition to the rezone.
Mary Lynne Myer, Principal Planner, briefly reviewed the background of this
issue, noting the request involves an area previously considered by Council in
June because the property owner desires a clarification of Council's action at
that time. The request is that the area located at approximately 3955 Sunset
Boulevard NE be rezoned from Mixed Residential (MR) to Neighborhood
Commercial (CN).
Councilman Tanner said that, despite staff's assertions to the contrary, Council
clearly took action to rezone this property CN in June when the adjacent
properties were also zoned CN. Mr. Tanner formally protested tonight's
public hearing as he felt the Council had approved the rezone on June 7,
1993.
Responding to Council President Edwards, Ms. Myer said originally, Mr.
Dalpay had requested that the property before Council this evening as well as
portions of adjacent properties be rezoned CN. Due to confusion regarding
map submissions and the boundaries of the rezone request, Council was
requested to hold the public hearing. The adjacent sites will not be
considered because they are not owned by Mr. Dalpay.
Councilman Schlitzer also recalled that Council's intention in June had been
that the property before Council for consideration this evening be rezoned CN
at that time.

Audience comment was invited.
James Dalpay, PO Box 2436, Renton, 98056, explained that his original
proposal would have defined the rezone boundary according to the power lines
in the area. He agreed with Councilman Tanner with respect to Council's
action on June 7.
Nick Patruska, 1174 Shelton Avenue NE, Renton, 98056, stated that he and
other residents had been assured that the property along the north side of NE
12th Street west of Union Avenue NE would remain single family. Instead, it
r... was rezoned CN on June 7, 1993. Noting these sites are all single family lots,
he questioned why they were rezoned CN without notification to area
residents. Mr. Patruska added that the property owned by Albert LaPointe,
currently zoned single family and located directly to the west of the sites
rezoned CN, should remain single family.
Lawrence Wood, 1155 Shelton Avenue NE, Renton, 98056, agreed that the
area rezoned CN on June 7 was done so without proper notification to
neighbors and despite assurances that it would remain single family. He
opposed the rezone request before Council this evening, saying that residents
already feel crowded by commercial development in the area, and adding that
NE 12th Street already experiences inordinate traffic problems, speeding in
particular.

Councilman Stredicke said any development on the subject property should
have access via NE Sunset Boulevard only, rather than off of NE 12th St.
Council President Edwards stated that while he supported granting the rezone
request before Council tonight, he had serious reservations with the rezone of
property along NE 12th to CN designation.
y` Councilman Tanner reiterated that, according to the map distributed at the
June 7 Council meeting, the property along NE 12th Street should have

Errata, Huerter, #E-28 in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
hearing to consider the request from Jana Huerter, Planning Department staff,
that vehicle storage be added as an accessory use in the Medium Industrial
(IM) and Heavy Industrial (IH) zones.
Ms. Myer explained that, due to an oversight, allowance of exterior storage of
"vehicles/trucks/trailers" as an accessory use in the IM and IH zones was not
included in the current zoning code, but was included in the IL zone. To
correct this oversight, staff recommends that exterior storage of
"vehicles/trucks/trailers" in the IM and IH zones as an accessory use be
allowed. The proposed new language in italics would be added to the IM and
IH zones, paragraph 4-31-11.1, 3. "Accessory Uses":
c.) Outside storage of vehicles/trucks/trailers, materials, products and
containers'is permitted provided the storage area is screened from all adjacent
property designated for residential, public, commercial, or office use on the
City of Renton Comprehensive Plan. Screening shall consist of an existing
structure, a solid wall or sight-obscuring fence a minimum of six feet (6') in
height up to a maximum of ten feet (10') or as required by the bulk storage
ordinance, Section 4-31-29. Outside storage shall not be permitted in any

Errata, Pfulman, #E-26 in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
hearing to consider the request from Rolund Pfulman to modify the Mid
administrative conditional use section of the Single Family (SF) zone to allow
four or more smaller sized household pets per dwelling unit.
Ms. Myer explained that Mr. Pfulman owns 14 birds on a 15,000 square foot
lot in the Single Family (SF) zone. Under the newly adopted zoning
ordinance, he is in violation of the code as only three household pets are
allowed per dwelling unit in the SF zone. To allow more smaller sized
household pets per dwelling unit, the following change would have to be made
to the SF zone: 4-31-5, 4. Administrative Conditional Use, f): "Household
Pets: Four (4) or more household pets, maintained as a hobby or for breeding
purposes, which are kept in aquariums, terrariums, aviaries, or similar
containers."
Councilman Tanner was concerned that thero osed language could be
p p
interpreted to apply to dogs or cats which are kept in cages or other
containers.
III
Responding to Council President Edwards, Ms. Myer agreed that one
difference between an administrative conditional use and a request for
variance from the Board of Adjustment is that the former requires no public
notification and the latter does.
.r1
October 11. 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 445
Councilwoman Nelson felt that allowing too many household pets per dwelling
unit could promote the operation of unlicensed businesses.
Councilwoman Mathews explained that the proposal would not allow a greater
number of household pets outright, as any applicant would still be required to
obtain an administrative conditional use. This would ensure that the applicant
would have to comply with all of the City's ordinances, without, however,
having to go before the Board of Adjustment.
Audience comment was invited.
ir...
Betty Hughes, 1621 Davis Ave. S., Renton, 98055, opposed the proposal,
stating that the applicant has failed to comply with the law for several years.
John Van Eyk, 230 S. 15th, Renton, 98055, asked Council to consider that the
birds owned by the applicant are an annoyance to neighbors.
Harlan Hughes, 1621 Davis Ave. S., Renton, 98055, also objected to the
proposal, saying the applicant has too many pets, and the macaws in particular
are loud and annoying.
Frank Carson, 1737 Lake Ave. S., Renton, 98055, agreed that residences in
this area should not be used as businesses, and said the City should not grant a
variance to this applicant for this use.
Roland Pfulman, 1615 Davis Ave. S., Renton, 98055, stated he was originally
not informed of any restrictions on the number of birds allowed at his home
although he was cited for violating the noise ordinance. Asking for a clear-
cut decision on this issue, he requested that if he is required to decrease the
number of birds he owns, he be given sufficient time to comply with the
decision.
John DuBois, 1608 Davis Ave. S., Renton, 98055, said the issue before
Council represents an enforcement problem, one aspect of which involves a
tenant operating a business without a permit. Other concerns involve noise
pollution and the possible health hazard posed by the birds, since it is possible
for humans to contract serious diseases from bird feces transmitted through
the air.
Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton 98055, stated that a
neighbor of one of her relatives owns a 16-foot-long snake, which she felt
was uncalled for. She expressed disappointment that the exotic animal
ordinance previously considered by the City was not approved.

THF PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
Councilwoman Mathews explained that, during its research regarding exotic
animal regulations, the Public Safety Committee found that the City already
has enforcement rights of existing state and federal regulations in this area.
Because the City cannot, however, make these regulations more restrictive,
there was no need to pursue local legislation.

Associates, #E-19 hearing to consider the request from Renton Village Associates to modify the
Commercial Office (CO) zone to allow sites with existing retail uses and other
uses to continue and expand using standards contained in the CO zone.
Ms. Myer explained that the proposed change would allow the applicant
greater flexibility for future redevelopment plans. The following language is
proposed for the Commercial Office zone, 4-31-16 B. 2. Secondary Uses,:
"m) Retail uses existing at the time of adoption of this code.
(1) Expansion of existing retail structures subject to site plan
review.
(2) Construction of new retail buildings, on the same site as existing
retail buildings, subject to site plan review."
Audience comment was invited.
Mike Banion, M. Sandorffy & Co., 800 Fifth Ave., Suite 3700, Seattle, 98104,
representing Renton Village Associates, explained that the existing shopping
center at this location became a nonconforming use because of Council action
in June. He noted the request also addresses the applicant's request to expand
new retail uses onto the unused portion of the site.
Responding to Councilman Tanner, Mr. Warren confirmed that, assuming ,
Council approval of the request, nothing would preclude the applicant from
requesting a rezone of this same property in the future.

Committee regarding the Comprehensive Plan Errata Process:
A. Referred for public hearing:
The Planning and Development Committee has reviewed the following
requests: E-29, E-30 and E-32, and has referred them to a public hearing
and for Council consideration:
Comprehensive Plan: 1. E-29 Laureen Nicolay: Request to adopt definitions for "yard
r.r
Errata, Nicolay, #E-29 requirement," "front yard," "side yard," and "rear yard."
Planning and Development Committee Review: This request will establish
definitions for "yard requirement," "front yard," "side yard," and "rear
yard" in the definitions section of the zoning code (4-31-2) by adopting
existing subdivision ordinance definitions, as follows:
I. "Yard requirement" is an open space on a lot or block unoccupied by
structures, unless specifically authorized otherwise. The required
yard depth is measured perpendicularly from a lot line; the depth is
specified in the zoning ordinance. The Building Department shall
determine the various requirements for uniquely shaped lots and
pipestem lots.
2. "Front yard" is the yard requirement which separates the main
structure from the fronting public right(s) of way.
3. "Rear yard" is the yard requirement opposite one of the front yards.
For irregularly shaped lots, the rear yard shall be measured from an
imaginary line at least fifteen feet (15') in length located entirely
within the lot and farthest removed and parallel to the front lot line
or its tangent.
4. "Side yard" is the yard requirement which is neither a front nor a
rear yard.
These additional definitions will facilitate the processing of short plats
and other non-subdivision applications. This request will also add
6M language to the Single Family (SF) zone (4-31-5) which will clarify that
the Zoning Administrator will determine the "fronting public right of
way" for through lots. The following language is proposed to be added to
the existing language in 4-31-5, D. Development Standards, 5. a): ... The
Zoning Administrator will determine the fronting public right of way for
through lots."

the applicant's request.

PROCLAMATION. CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Comprehensive Plan: in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Zoning on N 2nd St hearing to consider the proposed amendments to the Interim Land Use Plan
between Garden/Factory and Areawide Zone and Zoning Code to resolve issues related to the zoning on
Aves North 2nd Street between Garden Avenue N. and Factory Avenue N.
Correspondence was read from Warin L. Gross, 829 N. 1st St., whose business
is located at 115 Factory Ave. N., requesting that the zoning of his property
remain Commercial Arterial (CA).
Kay Shoudy, Planning/Technical Services Director, described the area under
consideration this evening, noting it is generally located between N. 2nd St.
and Bronson Way on the north and south, and between Factory Avenue N.
and Garden Avenue N. on the east and west. She briefly reviewed the history
of the zoning on the affected parcels, noting that a citizen's group formed to
address zoning in north Renton provided two recommendations for this area.
The first recommendation, referred to as I.A., maintained all of the Bryant
Motors property as CA with the property north of Texaco and northeast of
Bryant rezoned as Mixed Residential (MR). The alternate recommendation,
r
`k 5
October 18. 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 457
1.B., showed the majority of the Bryant Motors property remaining CA but
indicated a strip of MR along N. 2nd, including a portion of the Bryant
property.
Staff recommended that the current CA zoning on the Bryant Motors property
be maintained, and that the current CA zoning on the two lots northeast of
Bryant Motors and on the six lots north of Texaco (including Mr. Gross'
property), be changed to MR.
Responding to Councilwoman Mathews, Ms. Shoudy confirmed that although
vow the recommended rezone of Mr. Gross's property from CA to MR would
make office use on that site non-conforming, staff felt that increasing the
amount of MR at this location would improve the ability to screen during site
planning. Another objective is to increase residential uses on Meadow and
Factory to better maximize the transition between uses.
In response to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler, Ms. Shoudy said under MR
zoning, up to eight units could be developed on lots 9 and 10 on the corner of
Meadow and N. 2nd.
Council President Edwards was concerned that the buffer requirements
between the CA zone and residential areas may be too onerous on
development. Ms. Shoudy explained staff's suggestion that the requirements
for buffering in the CA zone remain but be modified to allow administrative
flexibility in applying the requirements during site plan review. Specifically,
buffer variations would be handled by the Zoning Administrator rather than
be referred to the Hearing Examiner. This change would result in less
potential delays for the applicant but still allow appeals to the Hearing
Examiner.
Audience comment was invited.
Peter Eglick, Suite 212, 900 Fourth Ave., Seattle, 98164, spoke as a
representative of the North Renton/Kennydale Neighborhood Defense Fund.
He opposed the proposal to permit administrative approval of buffer
„s variations, saying this would inappropriately place the burden on those who
opposed the staff decision to file an appeal with the Hearing Examiner. He
favored keeping the current process, which requires Hearing Examiner
approval of variance requests.
Turning to the zoning issue, Mr. Eglick distributed a map illustrating what he
called a reasonable compromise between the staff proposal and the citizen
recommendation for the zoning in this area. He felt there was no compelling
reason not to rezone Mr. Gross's property MR, saying that although it would
constitute a non-conforming use, Mr. Gross would still be able to operate his
business. Mr. Eglick explained that under the proposed scenario, Mr. Gross's
property would be rezoned Convenience Commercial (CC) along with other
parcels currently zoned CA. He noted that one option for ensuring that Mr.
Gross' business remained conforming would be for Council to alter the CC
zoning regulations to allow office use.
Mr. Eglick added that the proposed compromise would rezone the two lots at
the northwest corner of the Bryant property, bounded by N. 2nd and Garden,
to MR. He said this would be appropriate because properties directly to the
west across Garden, as well as sites across N. 2nd Street to the north, are
zoned Single Family (SF).
October 18 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 458
Mr. Eglick reiterated that the proposal to rezone most of the CA sites to CC is
desirable because CC has a range of uses consistent with the City's policies
regarding transitions between residential and commercial uses. CC would
additionally prohibit some of the more harmful and out-of-scale uses allowed
under CA. Mr. Eglick commented that although Bryant Motors would be a
non-conforming use under CC, it is already non-conforming in CA. Also,
this business will be required to relocate within ten years because of the
aquifer protection program.
Versie Vaupel, P. O. Box 755, Renton, 98057, asked Council to consider the
proposal set forth by Mr. Eglick. She reminded Council of the petitions
containing numerous signatures submitted in the past on this issue.
Warin L. Gross, 829 N. 1st, Renton, 98055, noted that the property located
east across Factory from his office is CA, as is his neighbor's property to the
south. He asked that Council retain the CA zoning on his property.
Bill Bryant, 1300 Bronson Way N., Renton, 98055, commented on the zoning
and current uses of several properties in the area, saying he has talked with
various residents who have indicated they do not oppose retaining CA zoning
on his property. He felt that, given the arterial nature of Bronson Way, it
would be appropriate to zone all property a minimum of one block north of
this street for commercial use. He questioned whether a change in zoning
from CA to MR for certain properties would result in a corresponding change
in uses, adding it probably is not economically feasible to develop a multi-
family residential unit in this area.
Lloyd Hoshide, 833 Kirkland Ave. N.E., Renton, 98056, supported the
position set forth by Mr. Eglick regarding buffers between zones. He feared
that allowing the Zoning Administrator to modify buffer requirements rather
than requesting approval by the Hearing Examiner would place discretionary
power in a non-elected position, and noted that the Hearing Examiner must
be independent from pressures.
Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Ave. N., Renton, 98055, commented on a
remark made by Mr. Bryant regarding a certain house for sale in this area,
saying that an acquaintance of hers had considered purchasing the house but
decided not to because of the proximity of Bryant Motors and the
maneuvering of vehicles at this site.
Mr. Eglick reiterated that the proposed compromise is consistent with
Council's planning process and the need to plan for increased densities in
l response to the Growth Management Act.
Councilman Stredicke said that, contrary to a remark made earlier, buffer
requirements between CA and residential zones differ from requirements
between CC and residential zones. Saying it is illogical to position CA
property adjacent to SF property, he supported the compromise proposal
described by Mr. Eglick and felt it would be appropriate to rezone to Mixed
Residential the two northernmost lots between Bronson and N. 2nd from
Factory down to Garden.
For the record, Councilman Tanner noted that the current zoning in this area
was not recommended by the Planning Commission or Planning staff, but was
instituted by Council arbitrarily at the last minute. He urged Council to
arrive at a compromise.

MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
While he agreed that the property along N. 2nd should not have been rezoned
to CA, Council President Edwards said it would probably be inappropriate to
split a single building into two zones as the compromise proposal would do.
He questioned what effect this would have on future improvements or
remodeling.
Ms. Shoudy replied that, provided the use was not expanded, alterations or
%we restorations would be allowed up to 100% of the building's value. She said to
her knowledge, a zoning line has never been applied across an existing
building. Responding to Councilwoman Mathews, Ms. Shoudy said if the use
of the property were changed, it would have to conform to the existing
zoning.
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL
REZONE LOTS 9 AND 10 OFF OF N. 2ND ON THE WEST SIDE OF
MEADOW, AND LOTS 1, 2, 8 AND 9 BOUNDED BY MEADOW ON THE
WEST, N. 2ND ON THE NORTH AND FACTORY ON THE EAST, FROM
ARTERIAL COMMERCIAL (CA) TO MIXED RESIDENTIAL (MR).
CAR,RIED.
Council President Edwards supported staff's recommendation that the
requirements for buffering in the CA zone be modifed to allow for
administrative rather than Hearing Examiner review, but Councilwoman
Mathews preferred addressing this issue later since it is currently before the
Planning and Development Committee.

APPROVAL OF MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
COUNCIL MINUTES COUNCIL APPROVE THE MINUTES OF OCTOBER 18, 1993, AS
PRESENTED. CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Budget: 1994, Public in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro tempore Edwards opened
Hearing the public hearing to consider the proposed 1994 Budget and Utility Rates.
Victoria Runkle, Finance Director, provided a brief overview of the proposed
1994 budget, explaining that although revenues were projected to grow by
5.4% from 1993 to 1994, these are now expected to increase only by 3.8%.
The City could, however, achieve a total revenue increase of 4.4% for 1994 by
levying higher animal licenses in addition to other actions.
Ms. Runkle added that because expenditures must be balanced to revenues,
1994 expenditures (approved in 1992 for the second half of the City's biennial
budget) are now being cut by $687,000 to respond to the decrease in projected
funds. Noting that the City must hold an amount equal to 4% of its general
fund in reserve to maintain an Al bond rating, she concluded that
miscellaneous adjustments and the City's new economic development program
are among the costs resulting in the $1.4 million total deficit projected for
1994.
Correspondence was read from Chuck and Midge Charboneau, 7503 S.
Lakeridge Dr., Seattle, 98178, requesting that the coordinator position in the
Parks Department for the special populations program be continued on a full-
time basis.
Additional correspondence was presented in the form of a petition, signed by
62 residents, requesting that the City roll back water rates to 1992 levels.
October 25, 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Pau 469
Audience comment was invited.
Neale Frothingham, 10900 NE 8th St., Suite 50, Bellevue, 98004, reiterated his
concerns expressed two weeks earlier regarding increasing utility rates.
Speaking as a representative of business owners who operate at the 43rd Street
Plaza, he said that by raising water rates, the City is putting itself at a
competitive disadvantage with other jurisdictions as far as attracting and
retaining businesses.
Responding to Councilwoman Mathews, Lynn Guttmann,
Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator, said staff has projected utility
rate increases for residential users but not for commercial users because it is
much more difficult to achieve a profile of the "average" commercial utility
user.
Also responding to Councilwoman Mathews, Gregg Zimmerman, Utility
Systems Director, said many jurisdictions charge users via an "inverted block"
rate structure whereby water becomes more expensive as more is used. At
some point, then, Renton utility rates are lower than those of other
jurisdictions for the same amount of usage because Renton does not have an
"inverted block" rate structure. Ms. Guttmann added that the Department of
Ecology and others interested in conservation encourage the latter type of rate
structure.
Ms. Guttmann confirmed Councilman Tanner's statement that it is unlikely
that the rate increase experienced by commercial users will be less than the
projected residential rate increase. Adding that, unlike businesses, residents
are not as likely to relocate due to increased rates, Mr. Tanner noted that last
year, the storm and surface water rate was doubled.
Ms. Guttmann replied that the City's water rates for both residential and
commercial users are expected to be highly competitive over the next two to
five years with rates of other jurisdictions.
tow Councilman Schlitzer asked staff to perform a limited analysis of utility rates,
comparing utility costs of one of Mr. Frothingham's tenants with those of a
similar business from another jurisdiction.
Versie Vaupel, PO Box 755, Renton, 98055, stated that water rates in St.
Louis County, Missouri are a fraction of those charged by Renton. She
questioned whether the City is legally required to pay for a public defender,
and City Attorney Lawrence J. Warren replied that according to the U.S.
Constitution, the City must provide public defense for those individuals
charged with a crime that may result in incarceration.
Continuing, Ms. Vaupel questioned why revenues generated from collected
fines show up in the budget of the Municipal Court rather than in the Police
budget. She felt that animal license fees should be equal for drags and cats,
and suggested that if the City continues the tuition reimbursement program, it
should prohibit employees from terminating within a certain amount of time
after course or degree completion. She concluded by asking about the
rumored difference in salary and/or benefit increases between management
and non-management staff.
Jay Covington, Executive Assistant, said management staff have not received
salary adjustments since July of 1992, at which time a 3.35% increase was
provided. This increase followed a 3.35% increase made in January of the
,4
October 25 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Paye 470
same year; taken together, these adjustments matched the 6.7% increase
provided to non-management staff in January of 1992.
MOVED BY TANNER, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL CLOSE
THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
Councilman Stredicke reiterated Council's request that staff return with
options for reinstating the full-time position for the Parks Department's
special populations program as well as alternatives for providing lifeguard
services at Kennydale Beach. He noted that Council had also asked staff to
analyze the effects of increasing utility rates by a lower percentage than has wow
been recommended.

AUDIENCE COMMENT June McGatlin, 1300 S. Puget Dr., Renton, 98057, spoke as the manager of
Citizen Comment: the Abitare, a multi-family complex on Puget Drive. Commenting on the
McGatlin - Abitare fence proliferation of crimes and vandalism incidents in the area, she requested a
variance variance to construct an eight-foot high fence behind the complex to help

- Sewer connection emergency hook-up to the City's sewer system as his private septic system has
request completely failed. He provided a letter from the Seattle-King County
Department of Public Health, which confirmed the failure of the system and
stated that single family residences shall be connected to public sewers if any
boundary of the land is within 330 feet of a public sewer. Renton staff have
recommended that Mr. Peterson be allowed to connect to the City's sewer
system, with conditions.

Committee regarding the Comprehensive Plan Errata Process:
Comprehensive Plan:
Errata, Harer (Lake A. Referred for public hearing:
Terrace Estates) #E-33
The Planning and Development Committee has reviewed the following request:
E-33, and has referred it to a public hearing for Council consideration.
1. E-33 Lake Terrace Estates/Steve Harer: Request to rezone a portion of a
site at 2100 Lake Washington Boulevard from the Trailer (T) zone to the
Multifamily - Infill (MF-1) zone.
Planning and Development Committee Review: Approximately three-
quarters of this site is zoned Trailer (T), with the remaining portion
zoned Multifamily - Infill (MF-1). The Committee recommended that,
rather than approve the applicant's request to zone the entire site MF-1,
Council instead hold a public hearing to consider changing the portion of
the site now zoned MF-I to T to achieve consistency with the current
zoning on the majority of the site. This would also be consistent with
other trailer/mobile home parks in the City, which are zoned "T" and
designated "Single Family Residential."
The Committee additionally recommended that the land use designation
for the site be consistent with the zoning if it is changed by Council.
The change in the site's comprehensive plan land use designation should
occur jointly with all other amendments generated by the Phase II
Comprehensive Plan update process to be completed prior to adoption of
the Comprehensive Plan in July 1994.
October 25 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Paige 474
Action: Council schedule a public hearing on November 15, 1993, to

Trailer (T). Council also to review the Comprehensive Plan Amendment
to change the site's land use designation, jointly with all other proposed
Comprehensive Plan Amendments prior to adoption of the Comprehensive

WSDOT: I-405 S-Curve Rick Dempsey, Washington Department of Transportation Assistant Project
Project Engineer, provided the monthly update for the I-405 S-Curve project. He
said ,work has started on the construction of the wall to support the Cedar
Avenue overpass ramp, which should provide access to Renton Hill by mid-
December. Also, concrete paving and barrier work on the I-405 mainline,
which is nearing completion, is expected to result in a south-bound traffic
switch on the weekend of November 20th.
Mr. Dempsey added that the State's portion of the work on the pedestrian
bridge should be finished by the end of November, with the approaches and
+� sidewalk connectors to be installed by the City.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Comprehensive Plan: in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro tempore Edwards opened
Errata, Nicolay (#E-29) the public hearing to consider the request from Laureen Nicolay, Development
Services staff, to adopt Zoning Code definitions for "yard requirement," "front
yard," "side yard" and "rear yard," and to clarify that the Zoning
Administrator will determine the front yard for "through" lots (those bounded
by two streets which do not intersect).
Kay Shoudy, Planning and Technical Services Director, explained the staff
recommendation is to insert the Subdivision Ordinance's yard definitions into
the Zoning Code's definition section, as follows:
YARD REQUIREMENT: An open space on a lot or block unoccupied by
structures, unless specifically authorized otherwise. The required yard depth
is measured perpendicularly from a lot line; the depth is specified in the
zoning ordinance. The Building Department shall determine the various
requirements for uniquely shaped lots and pipestem lots. (Ord. 2667, 10-4-71;
amd. Ord. 3592, 12-14-81)
A. Front Yard: The yard requirement which separates the main structure
from the fronting public right(s) of way.
B. Rear Yard: The yard requirement opposite one of the front yards. For
irregularly shaped lots, the rear yard shall be measured from an imaginary
line at least fifteen feet (15") in length located entirely within the lot and
farthest removed and parallel to the front lot line or its tangent.
C. Side Yard: The yard requirement which is neither a front nor a rear
yard.
Responding to Councilman Stredicke, Ms. Shoudy said in rare cases where a
lot abuts two public streets, the Zoning Administrator would decide which
street took precedence for determining the front yard requirement.
Councilman Stredicke commented that Council will soon be faced with this
question in the specific case of Greenwood Cemetery, the front yard of which
has, in the past, been assumed to abut NE 4th St. With new development on
this site, however, it could be argued that the Cemetery's front yard now
abuts Monroe Ave. NE. Noting the relevancy of this issue is that setback
requirements vary for the three yard types, Councilman Stredicke requested
that the City Attorney provide a formal legal opinion on which portion of the
Greenwood Cemetery property constitutes the front yard, rear yard, and side
yards.
Audience comment was invited; there were no speakers.

ADDITION, IN ITALICS: "A. FRONT YARD: THE YARD

Comprehensive Plan: This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and pubiished
Errata, Hamilton (#E-30) in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro tempore Edwards opened
the public hearing to consider the request from L. Renee Hamilton, 32030 -
13th Ave. S.W., Federal Way, 98023, to add espresso carts as an administrative
conditional use in the Commercial Office (CO) zone.
Ms. Shoudy explained this request was prompted by Ms. Hamilton's desire to
operate an espresso cart in the South Renton Park and Ride lot, which is
located in the Commercial Office (CO) zone. The Planning and Development
Committee recommended that freestanding uses be allowed as administrative
conditional uses in the CO zone, with conditions.
Ms. Shoudy noted that another issue raised since the Committee's review of
this request involves the City's fee ordinance. According to the current fee
schedule, conditional use permits cost $1400, with no differentiation between
administrative conditional uses and those processed by the Hearing Examiner.
Councilwoman Mathews agreed that the fees should be different for these two
processes, especially as administrative approvals are intended to be streamlined
and not require as much staff work as conditional uses reviewed by the
Examiner.
Responding to staff's suggestion that this use be allowed as a secondary use
with conditions, Councilman Tanner felt that as a freestanding structure, it
should be allowed only as a conditional use. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler
concurred, noting that the Committee's intention was that such uses serve
adjacent facilities only, not the general public. She felt this condition would
be more easily enforced by requiring administrative approval rather than
allowing the use outright anywhere in the CO zone.
MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL DIRECT
THAT UNTIL SUCH TIME AS COUNCIL ADOPTS CHANGES TO THE
FEE SCHEDULE, THE $1400 FEE FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS BE
REQUIRED FOR HEARING EXAMINER REVIEW, NOT
ADMINISTRATIVE PERMITS. CARRIED. Mr. Covington clarified that a
fee would not be charged for administrative conditional use permits until the
fee ordinance is revised.
Audience comment was invited; there were no speakers.

MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL ACCEPT
THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO ADD THE FOLLOWING
LANGUAGE TO THE ZONING CODE TO ALLOW ESPRESSO CARTS
AND OTHER TEMPORARY FOOD VENDORS TO OPERATE IN THE
COMMERCIAL OFFICE (CO) ZONE:
"g) Espresso carts and other temporary food vendors which serve adjacent
employees subject to the following conditions:
'�• 1) No signage other than that located on the cart itself.
2) Cart location must be pedestrian-oriented and not street-oriented.
3) Cart location cannot be on required landscaping or parking areas
unless in a Park and Ride lot, where no more than a single parking
space may be taken up by the cart.
4) No more than two espresso or other temporary vendors per primary
use, except for master planned office parks over five (5) acres in
size for which a maximum number of carts will be determined by
the Zoning Administrator."
CARRIED.
Comprehensive Plan: This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Errata, Anderson (#E-32) in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro tempore Edwards opened
the f ublic hearing to consider the request from Ric Anderson, 600 University
St., Suite 2000, Seattle, 98422, to allow child day care uses to locate in
freestanding buildings in the Commercial Office (CO) zone.
Ms. Shoudy explained that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would
like to establish a child care facility on its site to serve its employees, but no
appropriate space could be found. Staff recommends allowing this use in a
freestanding building, with conditions to ensure that the child care facility is
in some way connected to the main building.
Emphasizing that he would object to allowing a temporary building serve as a
child care facility under the proposed language, Councilman Tanner added
that he would prefer this type of use be processed as a Hearing Examiner
conditional use rather than an administrative one.
Responding to Councilman Stredicke and Councilwoman Mathews, Ms. Shoudy
said if the child care program were discontinued, the subsequent use of any
building constructed on-site for this purpose would have to conform to the
property's current zoning. This would mean that only office use would be
allowed outright.
Audience comment was invited.
Ric Anderson, speaking as a representative of Lowe Enterprises Northwest,
600 University St., Seattle, 98422, explained the FAA's desire to establish a
child care facility on or near this site, and the agency's inability to find a
suitable location in the surrounding area. He requested Council approval of
the proposal.
MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY TANNER, COUNCIL CLOSE
THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
Councilman Stredicke expressed concern with the first condition, which would
merely require that the property owner provide a "pedestrian trail." He felt
484
November 1 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Pan 484
that if the owner cannot provide a covered walkway to the,daycare facility,
the use should not be allowed.
MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
COUNCIL ACCEPT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO MODIFY THE
COMMERCIAL OFFICE (CO) ZONE AS FOLLOWS:
Remove 4-31-16 B. 2. Secondary Uses, b) Day Care Center, and include 4-
31-16, B.4. Administrative Conditional Uses:
(g) Day Care Center
(1) Any freestanding day care center must be physically connected to a
primary use by any of the following means: a shared roof line, a
paved pedestrian walkway on the interior of the primary use's site,
or a covered walkway.
(2) The day care center is intended and designed to serve the immediate
market area (i.e. contiguous CO zone).
(3) The freestanding day care center structure be oriented to the primary
use structure(s).
(4) Vehicular access to the freestanding structure only be from within
the site.*
Noting the many benefits to parents, employers and children, Mayor Pro
tempore Edwards encouraged Council to support the establishment of daycare
facilities in commercial zones.
*MOTION CARRIED.
AUDIENCE COMMENT Bill Bryant, 1300 Bronson Way N., Renton, 98055, spoke against the proposed
Citizen Comment: Bryant change in zoning from Arterial Commercial (CA) to Mixed Residential (MR)
- Property Rezone for the Bryant Motors property located in north Renton. He commented on
the zoning of various properties in this area, noting several instances where
commercial properties and even industrial properties abut single family lots.
Given these examples of the coexistence of commercial and single family
zones, he said a decision to rezone his property MR would not be based on a
desire to achieve consistent zoning, but rather on another reason or principle
that has not been stated.
CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the
listing.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
LID: 336, Burlington in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
1MV Northern RR Crossing hearing to consider proposed Local Improvement District (LID) 336,
construction of public railroad crossing in the 3700 block of Lake Washington
Boulevard near Kennydale Beach Park. Improvements consist of public
turnaround utilizing retaining wall, asphalt, paving, drainage pipe and all
necessary appurtenances.
Rod Schindler, Engineering Specialist, explained the proposal to upgrade the
railroad crossing from private to public status. The change in status was
requested by residents to relieve them of Burlington Northern Railroad's
(BNRR) recent demand that they carry liability insurance to protect the
railroad in exchange for access over the crossing to their homes. If the
crossing were publicly owned, any insurance issues would be handled through
the City's umbrella policy.
Mr. Schindler noted that the City uses this crossing for maintenance of both
Kennydale Beach Park to the south and a sanitary sewer pump to the north.
The Council's Transportation Committee recommended last May that an LID
be established through the buildable lot assessment method, with the City
contributing one share. The project has been estimated to cost $140,000.
This amount will be split equally 24 ways between all the benefited lots.
November 8 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 496
Mr. Schindler explained the scope of the project, which will include
construction of a retaining wall to allow a greater distance from the railroad
track to the edge of the public turn-around area. When the project is
finished, a final cost assessment will be calculated to equally distribute the
actual costs incurred among all participants.
Responding to Council President Edwards, Mr. Schindler said the state is
expected to certify this site as a public crossing. Mr. Schindler added that the
City has spent approximately $8,000 on the project thus far, with $2,000
remaining in the preliminary budget.
Four letters were entered into the record from affected property owners
protesting the LID. The letters were received from: William and Roberta
Lynn, 3625 Lake Washington Boulevard, Alan Provost, 3707 Lake Washington
Boulevard, Gail Anderson, 3703 Lake Washington Boulevard, and Helen Elson,
3601 Lake Washington Boulevard. According to Mr. Schindler, these letters
represent 17% of the 24 LID participants. If 60% or more of the participants
protest the formation of the LID, the City Council is prohibited by state law
from proceeding with the action.
iAudience comment was invited.
Julanne Scott, 3815 Lake Washington Boulevard, Renton, 98056, questioned
the extent of Burlington Northern's participation towards the LID costs. She
also noted one concern of residents regarding the City's participation in the
cost of the improvements. Ms. Scott concluded by saying she supported the
project and believed it would increase the value of the affected homes in the
area.
Mr. Schindler replied that BNRR has agreed to pay the costs of all labor and
construction to install the crossing, but the actual material will be billed to the
LID. BNRR's contribution represents about 50% of the crossing costs, or
approximately $11,500.
Dan Knoke, 3619 Lake Washington Boulevard, Renton, 98056, asked for
assurance that LID costs will be assessed against any new beneficiaries of the
improvements if lots are subdivided, with the proceeds from these assessments
shared between current participants.
Responding to Councilman Stredicke, Mr. Schindler said the term of the LID
will be determined by Council when the final assessment after construction is
completed. The average term for LIDs is seven to ten years.
Councilman Stredicke asked about Mr. Knoke's comments regarding any
latecomer's fees, and Mr. Schindler explained that four vacant lots to the
north of the assessed properties could conceivably be developed in the future.
If these lots were accessed via the crossing, they would clearly benefit from
the improvements; however, the vacant lots are currently accessible from the
north, and this could be continued in the future. The LID will contain a
mechanism whereby Council could assess a latecomer's fee if these properties
were to use the crossing for access.
Finance Director Victoria Runkle noted that although State law provides a 30-
year limit for LID payments, the term of the average LID is set at 10-12
years.
November 8. 1993 Renton City Council Minutes Page 497
Responding to a comment by Councilman Tanner, Ms. Scott said a 1991
Council action indicated that no lots along the affected stretch of Lake
Washington Boulevard can be split.
Norm Peterson, 3402 Park Avenue N., Renton, 98056, questioned whether
very large vehicles such as mover's trucks would be able to turn around in the
area described for this purpose. Mr. Schindler replied that the width of the
road ranges from nine feet to 14 feet, and only part of it will be City-owned.
The remainder will continue to be privately owned and maintained.
�.. Michelle Wiesemann, 3711 Lake Washington Boulevard, expressed concern
about the potential sale of her residence occurring simultaneously with the
filing of the LID assessment against the property. Zanetta Fontes, Assistant
City Attorney, explained this will be a matter of negotiation between the
Wiesemanns and the buyer of their home. In any case, the lien will have to
be paid at the time the home is sold, if not before.
City Clerk Marilyn Petersen reported a recent change in King County
recording procedures whereby preliminary assessment liens are now recorded
following adoption of the the ordinance ordering construction. After
completion of the project, a second and final cost assessment is recorded with
the final LID ordinance, releasing the first lien and adjusting the amount as
needed.
Rosemary Zilmer, 3837 Lake Washington Boulevard, Renton, 98056, requsted
that the City assume two shares of the LID rather than one, because it uses
the crossing for access to the beach park to the south as well as for access to
the pump station to the north.
Al Provost, 3707 Lake Washington Boulevard, Renton, 98056, questioned
whether the City has treated all crossings in the same manner. He agreed
with Ms. Zilmer that the City should assume more than one share of the cost,
especially as the crossing is used frequently for access to the pump station.
He expressed concern with the possibility that the project's final cost could
exceed the construction estimate of $140,000, and questioned whether any cost
overruns would be passed onto residents.
Noting that preliminary construction estimates are projections of future costs,
Mr. Schindler indicated that staff is confident that the design and construction
of this project can be accomplished for $140,000.
Councilwoman Mathews pointed out that in addition to paying one share of
the costs of construction, the City has contributed over $8,000 to the LID in
staff time. Councilman Stredicke added that before the project commences,
the Council will review and award the construction bid for this project.

that the Administration has not yet decided what the response to a strike will
be. Adding it is extremely unfortunate that workers are being asked to strike,
he said that, given the current economic conditions and the fact that the City
is already being forced to cut its budget in response to lower revenues, it is
impossible for the City to meet the Union's demand for wage increases.

Citizen Comment: Gafour inconvenience experienced by citizens or others because of the strike by Local
- Strike by Local 21-R 21-R. Noting that employees have been working without a contract for
eleven months, he said they would like to go back to work with a fair
contract that benefits everyone involved.
Mayor Clymer announced that the Administration is willing to meet with the
Union's representative, Chris Dugovich, and that Jay Covington, Executive
Assistant, and Beverly Nelson-Glode, Personnel Director, will be available
each morning at a prescribed time and place ready to resume negotiations.
r
Citizen Comment: Oglesby Kathy Oglesby, employee of Council 2 on behalf of Local 21-R members,
- Strike by Local 21-R stated that the Union is ready and willing to negotiate. She expressed

Strike by Local 21-R Local 21-R member. She posed various questions relating to the Ewing Study,
asking. what percentage of compensation increases were received by all
employees as a result of the salary analyses. She also asked about potential
options the City has regarding employee medical benefits, given that its
insurance program is self-funded. Mrs. Hill felt it was discriminatory for
members of Local 21-R to be forced to bear the brunt of the increase in
insurance costs.
Citizen Comment: Peterson Norman Peterson, 3402 Park Ave. N., Renton, 98056, thanked Council and the
- Coulon'Park Mayor for awarding the concessionaire contract at Coulon Beach Park to Ivar's
Concessions; Strike by rather than to McDonald's. He commented on the inherent difficulty of
Local 21-R striking, in that employees who strike do not get paid but their bills continue
to accumulate. Mr. Peterson urged the City to quickly surrender to the will of
the Union members and end the strike.
Citizen Comment: Mike Brundage, 812 Monroe Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, criticized percentage
Brundage - Strike by increases for elected officials and management employees since 1989, and no
Local 21-R cost-of-living increases this year for Local 21-R members. He also
questioned the decision to spend a minimum of $1 million to remodel the
Council Chambers, despite financial difficulties by the City.
Citizen Comment: Vaupel Versie Vaupel, PO Box 755, Renton, 98057, stated that thus far, the petitions
- Petitions; Strike by presented to the City asking that water rates be rolled back have gathered 140
Local 21-R signatures. She presented another petition, signed by 19 business owners and
residents, which demanded certain improvements relating to the Park Avenue
North project.
Commenting on the strike by Local 21-R, Mrs. Vaupel noted that workers
with lower incomes benefit less from percentage increases in wages than those
with higher incomes. Saying that the strike is polarizing people on both sides
of the issue, she asked what will be done with the money saved from not
paying striking workers, and whether employee benefits will continue during
the strike. She concluded by reading a letter from Congressman Jim
McDermott to Mayor Clymer, which urged that the City's negotiating team
return to the bargaining table and resume good faith efforts to reach
agreement.

Financial Policies/Rates recommending to the Committee of the Whole the following adjustments to
the utility financial policies as stated on page 20 of the 1993 Budget
+.N document:
For policy (A), in order to maintain the long-term solvency and viability
of the city utilities, the status of this policy shall read "A minimum target
of 1.5 debt service coverage will be maintained."
For policy (D), the policy will be revised to read "Rates for the
Water/Wastewater/Surface Water Utilities shall include an annual capital
contribution equal to the annual depreciation for each utility,
implemented over an eight (8) year period, beginning in 1994."
For policy (E), the policy will be revised to read "Fund balances in
enterprise funds shall be maintained at levels equal to a target of 45 days,
with a minimum of 30 days, of O&M expenses which are necessary to
meet operating, capital, and contingency requirements."
The Committee further recommended that the alternative "Cut CIP/Bond Less"
be adopted for the revenue requirements of the Water and Wastewater utilities
for the rate study and for the 1994 budget. This alternative results in
reducing the Water Utility CIP by an additional $500,000 and the Wastewater
Utility CIP by an additional $235,000 in 1994. While this rate alternative
results in an increase to the average residential customer monthly bill of $3.10,
