ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reported that Council received a Library: Cedar River Library packet of information regarding the revised Cedar River Library schematic Schematic Design design on Friday,April 26. He stated that the packet contained a summary of the information, an updated budget,the March 1, 2013 100%schematic design low set and specification manual for the smaller initial design of the Cedar River library, and the revised schematic design and detailed cost estimates that reflect the larger 19,500 square foot design that the King County Library System (KCLS) presented to Council on April 15, 2013. Mr. Covington reported that the packets also provided information regarding two possible courses of action regarding the additional funds requested by KCLS. He explained that the City could re-prioritize year-end fund balances,or extend the annual debt service until 2023 in order to garner the additional$1.5 million. He noted, however,that the administration is simply recommending keeping the budget fluid for now, as no action is needed from Council at this time regarding the additional funds. Additionally, Mr. Covington stated that the public and some members of Council voiced a recommendation to have an independent review or audit of the construction budget. He reported that the administration is currently interviewing candidates to conduct this independent review, and is also recommending that the audits occur concurrently with the ongoing design and construction. He explained that this action was recommended to prevent a delay in Council's approval of the schematic design. Council President Corman challenged the public and Council to find a solution that brings this issue to a close. He noted that KCLS and City staff are in attendance and available to answer any questions that may arise. MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY TAYLOR, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE RULES AND ALLOW THE AUDIENCE COMMENT PERIOD TO EXCEED THE 30 MINUTE TIME LIMIT. CARRIED. 122 April 29, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 122 Councilmember Taylor stated that although he too would like to see this issue come to a conclusion, he did not feel that one weekend was enough time to fully review the newest design from KCLS. He emphasized that more time was needed to thoroughly vet the new proposal, and urged Council to not take any action at tonight's meeting. Mr. Corman remarked that there were really only 22 pages of new information and he would be agreeable to having City or KCLS staff review the revisions prior to making a decision. He stated that he would at least like to make an attempt to bring this topic to a close at tonight's meeting. AUDIENCE COMMENT The following speakers commented on the Cedar River Library: Jonathan Fox Citizen Comment:Various— (Renton); Elizabeth Stevens (Renton); Paul Ouellette (Renton); David Keys Cedar River Library (Renton): Beth Asher(Renton); Dave Kroeger(Renton); Melody Kroeger (Renton); Kathie Ossenkop(Renton); Howard McOmber(Renton); and Kerrick Mainrender(Renton); Citizen comments and concerns stated or alleged included: KCLS has addressed many outstanding complaints and it is time to move forward and accept the schematic design;the$1.5 million KCLS requested in additional funds can be found within the project budget; the four new documents and construction cost estimate do not constitute 100%design schematic as required by the interlocal agreement with KCLS and therefore Council does not have the legal authority to approve the design;the assumption that because the building's footprint was increased by 26.6%then the budget should therefore be increased by that amount is faulty; Council did not have enough time to review I the newest design proposal; criticism of KCLS's proposed budget for professional fees that should already be covered within consultant contracts for basic services; KCLS continues to deliver misinformation and partial information; citizens are not asking for a smaller budget, but are asking that the budget be audited; new technology should not replace printed materials;the entrance located mid-span on the bridge deck should be retained; and the new pile cap could be utilized as a foundation for additional expansion of the library. The following citizen recommendations were expressed: The independent audit should be conducted prior to accepting the new design plan to ensure KCLS is following state guidelines;there are more options regarding the library entrance including adding an additional door in the airlock area that opens directly onto the bridge deck; provide citizens a forum and allow them to be a part of KCLS's design team; and if the library is expanded then the City's Northwest Section should be restored. Council President Corman remarked that he would like to lock in the larger design and cautioned that cutting the budget prior to approving the design could lead to a smaller library building. He also noted that the program budget was just a cost estimate and did not necessarily mean that the City was obligated to pay for every line item that was proposed. Additionally, Mr. Corman reiterated citizens' concerns whether the documents Council received met the requirements of the interlocal agreement and asked the City Attorney for an opinion. 123 April 29, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 123 Assistant City Attorney Garmon Newsom stated that he had not been provided a copy of the documents and therefore could not provide an opinion on their legality in relation to the interlocal agreement. Councilmember Briere remarked that there were gaps and padding in the budget because Council had not yet approved the final schematic design. She stated that she believed the budget would be fine-tuned as the design came together. Councilmember Persson reviewed Council's responsibilities for approving large projects. He also noted that City staff had a large role in the construction of the South Correctional Entity(SCORE)jail and that project came in under budget. Mr. Persson remarked that he believed a decision could be achieved at tonight's meeting. Chief Administrative Officer Covington clarified that the documents KCLS presented on April 15 were sketches; however, the documents submitted to Council on April 26 were in fact schematic designs. He stated that it is the administration's opinion that these documents satisfy the requirements of the interlocal agreement. Citizen Comment: Martinez— Mark Martinez (Renton) urged Council and the administration to conform to Marijuana Dispensary the will of the people and allow medical and recreational marijuana Businesses dispensaries to locate their businesses in Renton. He shared stories of friends and relatives who he believes could benefit from medicinal marijuana use. Mayor Law remarked that the business Mr. Martinez was speaking about was shut down because they did not have a business license, not because they were selling marijuana. Citizen Comment: Houston— John Houston (Renton) spoke on behalf of the Renton Youth Advocacy Center Renton Youth Advocacy and urged the City to re-open the Tiffany Park building. He also remarked that Center/Tiffany Park Building his organization paid a $2,060 permit fee last October and still had not been able to utilize the building. Mayor Law stated that his office would schedule an appointment with Mr. Houston to talk about his concerns.

April 29, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 125 125 UNFINISHED BUSINESS Council President Corman expressed concern that although there was a Library: Cedar River Library Committee of the Whole report available for adoption, he was unsure whether Budget&Schematic Design Council had the legal authority to approve the newest Cedar River Library design plans as proposed by KCLS. Mr.Covington clarified for the record that the administration believes that the documents Council received on April 26 comply with and satisfy the intent of the interlocal agreement with KCLS. Council discussion ensued regarding the reasons for and against voting on the issue at tonight's Council meeting; conviction in the staff recommendation that the documents satisfy the intent of the interlocal agreement;the need for an additional week to vet new ideas citizens brought forth at tonight's meeting; and the need for an Executive Session. Further discussion ensued regarding the amount of time,the reasons, and procedures for conducting a brief Executive Session. Mr. Persson remarked that he believed holding an Executive Session was not necessary and that he was convinced Council had enough information to vote on the issue. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL APPROVE THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN AS PRESENTED.* (See later this page for the revised motion, and page 126 for final Council action.) Council discussion ensued regarding the ability to vote on an issue when the City Attorney has requested to speak about it in Executive Session;the amount of time needed for the Executive Session; whether or not an Executive Session could be conducted when there was an open motion on the table; and the exact purpose of the Executive Session. Assistant City Attorney Newsom stated that Council could in fact recess into Executive Session to discuss the motion on the table. City Clerk Walton affirmed this statement.

Committee." 126 April 29, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 126 Ms. Palmer requested that the motion be amended so that the results of the audit are reported back to the Committee of the Whole instead of the Finance Committee. *At Council's request City Clerk Walton re-read the motion as follows: "MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL APPROVE THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR A RENOVATED REPLACEMENT LIBRARY OVER THE CEDAR RIVER, APPROXIMATELY 19,500 GROSS SQUARE FEET IN SIZE, FOR A MAXIMUM CITY CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED TEN MILLION FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS($10,400,000); DEEM THAT THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES ESTABLISHED FOR THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN PHASE HAVE BEEN FULFILLED; DIRECT THE ADMINISTRATION TO PROCEED WITH RETAINING CONSULTANT(S) TO CONDUCT AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF THE PRELIMINARY PROJECT BUDGET; PERFORM A PROJECT COST AUDIT DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE AND REPORT RESULTS BACK TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE."* Mr.Corman requested that an amendment to the motion be made to have the KCLS architecture team consider adding an additional door that opens from the entrance airlock area directly onto the bridge as part of the design.

Community Services Administrator Terry Higashiyama invited King County Library System Director Bill Ptacek to speak about the impacts of this request. Mr. Ptacek stated that KCLS would consider the request, but noted that a large cross beam is located in the area where the new door is being proposed. Ms. Briere called for the question. **AMENDMENT TO MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Law asked for further discussion on the first motion. Mr.Taylor reiterated his concern that he believed voting to approve the schematic design was premature.

Citizen comments and concerns stated or alleged included: Not everyone may be happy with the design but the process illustrates a healthy City where citizens can voice their opinions and concerns; it is understandable yet unfortunate that Council decided to trust the information KCLS provided regarding the newest library design;disappointment that the entrance will be moved and the library will not be the same size as the current building; digital technology should not replace printed materials;there is some confusion regarding building's interior design; and KCLS should be held accountable for customer service, not just for providing additional services to patrons. The following citizen recommendations were expressed: Council should amend the interlocal agreement so that there can be no transference of funds between the Highlands Library and the Cedar River Library; and the City should consider adding wiring for security cameras to the.library design now because rtr.r KCLS has taken a position against the use of security cameras and they may be needed in the future. 128 April 29, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 128 Citizen Comment: Martinez— Mark Martinez(Renton) reiterated his concern that the City has taken a Marijuana Use position opposing the new marijuana initiative 1-502. He explained that if the City's position is to follow federal law on this issue,then the City should follow all federal laws. He cited the Defense of Marriage Act as one federal law the City may not be adhering to properly. Council President Corman remarked that Council had discussed this issue at their annual retreat, and at this time has not taken a position regarding this topic. He stated that it is, however, Council's intent to figure out how to comply with the will of the voters. Assistant City Attorney Newsom remarked that he believes it is clear that the supremacy clause in the federal constitution means that federal laws trump state and local laws. Discussion ensued regarding the City's ability to uphold every federal law.

He apologized for it not getting to Councilmember Palmer.

She Citizen Comment:Asher- stated that some residents have expressed their interests in starting a fashion Downtown Revitalization garment district in the area. She believed that the City can contribute to the revitalization by using the Big 5 property for a combination of arts and cultural center,and noted her reasons for this suggestion as follows: 1) Research shows that mixed use development brings more revenue to the city than a mega store, single family homes,or multi-family units; and 2) It may help kick start the downtown area by having arts and cultural activities there. Ms.Asher also recommended that the City bring in different art partners, which would help not only increase the City's revenue but also provide services to its residents. Citizen Comments: Rogers— Nancy Bainbridge Rogers, land use attorney with Cairncross& Hempelmann Alley Issues located in Seattle, spoke on behalf of Henley USA/MainVue Homes. She stated �.r that a draft report was submitted to the Planning& Development Committee to address the alley issues. She emphasized that the timing of approval is 192 June 17,2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 192 important to the building industry,and stated that a clear sense of certainty from the builders perspective is needed in regards to whether an alley is preferred or required, especially when it comes to the land outside of the downtown or other areas where the City's alleys already exist. Ms. Rogers pointed out that the City has long list of street standards, and that a few years ago,the City Council amended those to include a statement regarding alleys being preferred. She believed that based on the review of development history,the intent of the amendment was to have alleys in areas where alleys are already part of the existing overall connective grid system. Ms. Roger stated that as development started to pick up in the City of Renton about six months ago, developers learned that the preference for alleys was being applied more as a requirement. She noted that the result of discussions included a proposed administrative interpretation that proposes a code 7i u 2:b i amendment providing that alleys go where they make sense. She indicated that the members of the Builder's Association who attended the committee meeting were informed, however,that nothing would change over the course of next year. Ms. Rogers requested that the City advance the committee recommendation on a faster time frame to come up with an administrative interpretation. She suggested that the City provide incentives to encourage alleys as a design tool rather than as a requirement.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2013 and beyond. One item noted was: • The 2013 Special Olympic Summer Games State Tournament was held May 31 through June 2 at Joint Base Lewis/McChord. The City of Renton Special Olympians had four of their five teams qualify for the state tournament in Soccer, Cycling, and Track and Field. The soccer teams received a silver and bronze medal;the track and field team received 36 medals and ribbons; and the cycling team received 75 medals or ribbons in numerous categories. The City appreciates the 15 volunteer coaches who gave over a thousand hours of their time to make this event a successful experience for the 60 athletes who participated. • The City, along with its co-sponsors, will once again host Independence Day activities at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. Traditionally,the City launched fireworks from a barge about 1,000 feet from shore. This allowed the shells to travel about 600 feet in the air before exploding, which meant that the display could be seen from a great distance. However, due to new restrictions and regulations,the City will be conducting a land-based launch from the Ivar's waterwalk. This location is about 300 feet from shore,and the shells will only travel about 300 feet in the air. Because of this change it is recommended that residents come to the park to enjoy the fireworks display. Discussion regarding the reasons for this change to the fireworks display ensued. It was noted that the barge used to be loaded in the City of Kenmore and floated to Renton for the event. Fireworks are no longer allowed under the 520 bridge so the City decided to conduct a land-based launch. It was also noted that the costs associated with renting a barge were added to the fireworks display budget this year. Additional discussion ensued regarding parking restrictions at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. It was suggested that residents could arrive early, park on the top two floors of The Landing's parking garage,grab a bite to eat at one of the restaurants at The Landing,and walk over to the park to enjoy the show. Executive: Executive Session Mayor Law announced that tonight's executive session is postponed to a later Postponed date.

PROCLAMATION A proclamation by Mayor Law was read declaring September 2013 to be "Ready Ready in Renton Month— in Renton Month" in the City of Renton, and encouraging all citizens to join in September 2013 this special observance. MOVED BY TAYLOR, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL +� CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION. CARRIED. Emergency Management Coordinator Mindi Mattson accepted the proclamation on behalf of the Fire and Emergency Services Department,and thanked the City for taking the time to spotlight the "Ready in Renton" campaign. She reported that this year's focus is on reaching out to culturally diverse communities and to make residents aware that helping each other is one of the most important components of disaster preparedness. PUBLIC MEETINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Alpine Nursery, accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public meeting to SE 146th PI & 160th Ave SE; consider the 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings File#A-13-003 petition for the proposed Alpine Nursery Annexation;approximately 17.1 acres bounded on the south by parcel line near SE 146th PI.,on the north by SE 8th, if extended, on the east by 161st Ave. SE and on the west by 160th Ave. SE. Associate Planner Angie Mathias reported that the proposed Alpine Nursery annexation site is within Renton's East Plateau potential annexation area (PAA), and contains single-family homes, the Alpine Nursery business, and vacant land. She noted that there is some slight topographical slope upward in the north, but that is already built out. She stated that there are no streams or wetlands in the area. Ms. Mathias stated that public services are currently provided by Fire District#25, Water District#90, Renton sewer utility, and the Issaquah School District. Reviewing the site's zoning, Ms. Mathias stated that the area is designated in King County's Comprehensive Plan as Urban Residential Medium (four to 252 August 19, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 252 twelve dwelling units per gross acre) with R-4 zoning(four dwelling units per acre). She reported that the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density, pre-zoned as R-4 zoning (four dwelling units per net acre),which would become effective upon annexation. Ms. Mathias reported that it is estimated there would be $32,403 in revenues and $29,992 in costs annually to the City's Operating Fund if annexed, which could change to$65,064 in revenues and $58,231 in costs if the potential 25 additional dwelling units are built over the next ten years. Concluding, Ms. Mathias stated that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City annexation policies and Boundary Review Board objectives, and the City's best interests and general welfare would be served by this annexation. Responding to Council President Corman's inquiry about whether or not Alpine Nursery will be able to continue to operate as a nursery in the City's R-4 zone after annexed, Ms. Mathias explained that the City could grandfather them in as long as they continue that use. Councilmember Persson indicated that the.difference between the City's R-4 designation and the King County's R-4 designation is that the City requires "net acre", which means fewer house would be built under the City's R-4 than it would be under the County. There being no public comment, it was MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY PRINCE, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY PRINCE, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE 10% NOTICE OF INTENT PETITION FOR THE ALPINE NURSERY ANNEXATION, AND AUTHORIZE THE CIRCULATION OF A 60% DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX SPECIFYING THAT SIGNERS SUPPORT FUTURE ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION AND ZONING. CARRIED. Annexation: Colacurcio, S This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in 114th & Rainier Ave S; accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public meeting to File#A-13-005 consider the 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings petition for the proposed Colacurcio Annexation; approximately 4.1 acres bordered by parcel lines at approximately S 114th St.to the north and S 115th St.to the south, Lake Washington to the east and Rainier Ave. S to the west. Associate Planner Angie Mathias reported that the proposed Colacurcio annexation site is in the City's West Hill potential annexation area (PAA),and contains mobile homes and vacant land. She noted that the site contains no regulated slopes, and abuts Lake Washington,the Cedar River and an unnamed Class 4 strm ea . She stated public services are currently provided by Skyway Fire District#20, Skyway water and sewer service, and the Renton School District. Ms. Mathias stated that the area is designated in King County's Comprehensive Plan as Urban Residential High (twelve or more dwelling units per gross acre) with R-48 zoning(forty-eight dwelling units per acre). She reported that the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Commercial Office Residential (COR). Ms. Mathias explained that if the City decides to move forward with the 253 August 19, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 253 annexation,zoning hearings will be conducted simultaneously with the annexation process. Ms. Mathias reported that currently there are 17 dwelling units in the area, and if annexed, $15,020 in revenues and $7,627 in costs annually to the City's Operating Fund are estimated,which would change to$74,408 in revenues and $32,011 in costs if the potential 39 additional dwelling units are built, along with a capacity of 66,000 square feet of commercial/office use over the next ten years. Ms. Mathias noted that there are concerns over the provision of City services and preventing abnormally irregular boundaries. She stated that the administration recommends amending the proposed annexation boundary to bring the parcel line at the south-end down to abut with the current city limits and include the three parcels to the south that are east of Rainier Avenue. Concluding, Ms. Mathias stated that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City annexation policies and Boundary Review Board objectives, and the City's best interests and general welfare would be served by this annexation. Councilmember Zwicker expressed concern over the manufactured home park, and asked for information about what considerations the City has taken into inheriting the area. Responding to Council inquiries, Ms. Mathias explained that the proponents are aware of the recommendation to amend the annexation boundary, and that the property owners in the additional areas have been notified about the ..s possibility of joining the annexation. Further responding, she explained that if the annexed area currently has a city address other than Renton, it will be ultimately up to the Postal Service to decide and make a change. Public comment was invited. Nisan Harel (Seattle), Era Living's Director of Capital Projects commented on behalf of The Lakeshore living facility their opposition to the City's acceptance of the 10%Notice of Intent to Annex petition and proposed zoning of Commercial Office Residential (COR). He also expressed objection to the addition of the Lakeshore parcel to the annexation boundary. Mr. Harel stated that The Lakeshore facility was developed and is compatible with the surrounding properties under King County R-48 zoning, and that changing any of those properties to COR zoning would affect the characteristics of the existing neighborhood and the quality of life of the elderly residents who live in the community. He commented that without the financial support of the offsetting sales tax, it would be costly for the City to provide public services to the West Hill area. Additionally, Mr. Harel opined that the fiscal analysis for the next 10 years should be based on the mixed uses of the area that COR zoning allows, not only for an additional 39 housing units. Council President Corman stated that he believes the value of having COR zone is to allow an intense mix of developments into the area, which makes the Lakeshore area more approachable to the public. He asked if the residents of "'�' the Lakeshore complex would prefer not having an access to the water. 254 August 19, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 254 Mr. Harel responded that the residents support having a residential building with retail in the area, but are concerned that COR zoning also allows hotels and industrial offices to be built there. Katherine Laird (Seattle)speaking on behalf of the proponents from Seattle and mod the estate of William Colacurcio, stated that she believes that being within the City of Renton is the best for the property. She noted that she has been in contact with the owners of the Lakeshore property and the apartment building about the annexation. Ms. Laird pointed out that there have been 41 petitions for annexation approved by the City in the past 10 years, and that there have been times where annexation was approved and a county road was used for accessing the annexation area. She requested that the annexation be approved as originally proposed without the boundary modifications. Peggy Jordan (King County) stated that she has lived in the manufactured home park for 15 years, and the residents there understand that there could be new development coming in the area. She asked for clarifications on how long the annexation takes and what it means for the residents who live in the park. Mayor Law referred.Ms.Jordan to city staff for answers to her questions. He emphasized that what is being proposed is only the annexation, not the development of the property. Mark Johnston (King County) expressed opposition to the 10% Notice of Intent. He opined that the annexation proposal violates the City's Objective LU-K and Policy LU-44. Mr.Johnston also expressed concern that the annexation could result in high value properties being absorbed into Renton, and proportionally lower value properties being left to remain in the unincorporated West Hill UNA area. Responding to Councilmember Briere's inquiry regarding the annexation boundaries, Ms. Mathias stated that if the annexation was to proceed without the additional three parcels, the City would want to consider adding the small area at the south,which is actually a portion of the City's larger Renton airport parcel, in order to abut with the city limit more fully. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY ZWICKER, SECONDED BY PRINCE, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. Councilmember Persson expressed his concern over the zoning of the proposed annexation, and asked if the process can be held off until an agreement is reached between the City and the Lakeshore residents. Community and Economic Development Administrator Chip Vincent stated that he would like to have the opportunity to sit down with the applicants and the property owners who would be affected by the annexation and see if there are alternative zoning options that would be acceptable to all parties. He asked if Council could take action to allow a meeting to occur between the applicants and the properties' representatives with the idea of coming back with an alternative recommendation. Discussions ensued regarding Council's options and action to be taken. Senior Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes affirmed that by state law the purpose NNW of tonight's meeting is to accept, reject, or geographically modify the annexation, and suggested that Council take such action accordingly. August 19,2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 255 255 MOVED BY ZWICKER,SECONDED BY PRINCE,COUNCIL REJECT THE 10% NOTICE OF INTENT PETITION FOR THE COLACURCIO ANNEXATION. CARRIED.

Associate Planner Angie Mathias reported that the proposed Maertins annexation site is within the City's East Plateau potential annexation area (PAA), and current use includes single family and vacant land. She stated that there is within the area a Class 4 stream and the Class 4 Honey Creek. She stated the public services are currently provided by Fire District#25, Water District#90, Renton sewer utility, and the Renton School District. Ms. Mathias explained that the area is designated in King County's Comprehensive Plan.as Urban Residential Medium (four to twelve dwelling units per gross acre) with R-4 zoning (four dwelling units per acre). She reported that the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density(RLD) and has not been pre-zoned. She explained that RLD zoning designation allows Resource Conservation (one dwelling unit per ten net acres), R-1 (one dwelling unit per one net acre), and R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre). Ms. Mathias further explained that if the City decides to move forward with the annexation, zoning hearings will take place as part of the annexation process. .Ms. Mathias reported that currently there is one dwelling unit in the area, and if annexed, $1,603 in revenues and $1,701 in costs annually to the City's Operating Fund are estimated,which would change to $25,015 in revenues and $18,281 in costs if the projected 13 additional dwelling units are built over the next ten years.

September 9, 2013 Council Chambers Monday, 6 p.m. M I N U T E S Renton City Hall CALL TO ORDER Council President Corman called the special meeting to order. COUNCILMEMBERS RANDY CORMAN, Council President; MARCIE PALMER; DON PERSSON; ED PRINCE; RICH ZWICKER; GREG TAYLOR. TERRI BRIERE ABSENT. CITY STAFF IN ATTENDANCE DENIS LAW, Mayor;JAY COVINGTON, Chief Administrative Officer; MARK BARBER, Senior Assistant City Attorney; CHIP VINCENT, Community and Economic Development Administrator; GREG ZIMMERMAN, Public Works Administrator;TERRY HIGASHIYAMA, Community Services Administrator; PREETI SHRIDHAR, Deputy Public Affairs Administrator; KELLY BEYMER, Parks& Golf Course Director; ANGIE MATHIAS,Associate Planner; DEPUTY CHIEF ERIK WALLGREN, Fire & Emergency Services Department. SPECIAL PRESENTATION Community and Economic Development Administrator Chip Vincent reported CED:Alley Loaded Lot that the issue of alley loaded lot requirements began in 2004 as the Growth Requirements (MBA Management Act required all cities to update their existing Comprehensive Correspondence) Plans. He explained that a key component of the City's policy on alleys is to emphasize grid patterns and alleys already associated with many of Renton's traditional neighborhoods. Mr.Vincent reported that current code language states that alley access is the preferred street pattern, and prior to approval of a plat without alley access the Reviewing Official shall evaluate an alley layout to determine if the use of alleys is not feasible. Mr.Vincent stated that this high-standard for alleys has been challenging and impractical to enforce. He reported that in 2008 Council directed the administration to work with the Planning and Development Committee and the Planning Commission to update alley regulations to allow for greater clarity and flexibility. He stated that from these work sessions Council approved a scheme where the RC (Resource Conservation) and the R1 (Residential One Dwelling Unit per Net Acre) classifications within the Residential Low Density (RLD) zone would not require alleys. Additionally, he stated that this scheme maintained the code language for the R8 (Residential Eight Dwelling Units per Net Acre), R10(Residential Ten Dwelling Units per Net Acre), and R14 (Residential 14 Dwellings Units per Net Acre) classifications. Mr.Vincent added that for the R4 (Residential Four Dwelling Units per Net Acre) classification, Council approved five criteria the department is required to use on a case-by-case basis for each land use application. Associate Planner Angie Mathias stated that alleys improve public safety by decreasing the interaction between cars and pedestrians where sidewalks cross over driveways. She stated that alleys are considered a better design for quality sustainable neighborhoods because they ensure that Renton is committed to creating quality neighborhoods for residents, not their vehicles. Ms. Mathias also stated that alleys are neutral to development costs and land usage because right-of-ways are reduced thereby reducing road development costs, and alleys do not impact total lot yield for a plat. 272 September 9, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 272 Councilmember Persson asked if alleys are required would narrower streets be allowed, and would residents be allowed to park in alleys. Ms. Mathias stated that the City already allows narrower streets regardless if alleys are required in a plat, and that street parking is determined by the number of anticipated vehicular trips associated with any particular plat. She added that the administration expects residents to park in their garages and not park in alleys. Mr.Vincent added that parking is not a one-size-fits-all approach because it is based on the road classification and the amount of average daily trips for that road. He also noted that whether a lot is front- loaded or rear-loaded,there is an expectation that residents will park in their garages or driveway aprons. Mr. Persson explained that his concern is that most people do not actually park in their garages,therefore their visitors will have to park in the alleys, especially if the City limits street parking. He stated that he also believes that because these homes no longer have backyards, children will play in the alleys,which is just flipping the safety concerns from the front of the house to the back of the house. Mr.Vincent acknowledged that there are safety challenges when there are density issues in a neighborhood. Council President Corman agreed that having alleys may actually increase safety risks because children will not have backyards to play in. He suggested adding safety to the list of factors that should be considered when evaluating the feasibility of alleys. Continuing, Ms. Mathias reviewed the concerns expressed to the administration from plat applicants. She stated that most applicants complain that code language regarding alley access lacks clarity. She reported that applicants would prefer to know whether or not alleys are required at the beginning of the plat process. Mr.Vincent reported that Administrative Code Interpretations(ACI)are allowed in City Code for the purpose of allowing the administrator to make determinations when there is a conflict in the code,there is an unanticipated use request, or when alignment between code and policy is necessary so a project can move forward. He stated that the department posts a one-page summary of the issue on the City website and invites the public to review and comment on the issue for a two-week period. Mr.Vincent stated that during this two-week period the ACI can be appealed to the Hearing Examiner, if an applicant does not agree with the interpretation. He also stated that ACIs are annually bundled together and taken before the Planning Commission and Planning and Development Committee as part of the department's annual docket work. He explained that this process allows for the clarification of ambiguity in the code; allows citizens due process; and allows the department to continue moving permits forward. Mr.Vincent reported that the administration is presenting an Administrative Code Interpretation now regarding alley loaded lot requirements that includes the following three aspects: 1) it is recommended that alley regulations no longer apply to R4 development because alleys have never actually been required in R4 zones in the past, 2) it is recommended that alley regulations apply where alleys already exist and for subdivisions with interior lots, and 3) it September 9, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 273 273 is recommended that more flexibility in the R8 zone be allowed by establishing a threshold of six dwelling units per net acre. He explained that alleys would not be considered for a proposed development of six dwelling units per net acre or less in the R8 zone. Additionally, Mr.Vincent explained that this Administrative Code Interpretation will provide predictability on three issues: 1) it will document that short plats (nine-lot subdivisions or less)will not require alleys,2)it will document that alleys will not be considered for plats with topographical challenges like steep slopes,and 3) it will document that alleys will not be considered for plats if the development of alleys cause negative environmental impacts. Concluding, Mr.Vincent reported that the next step will be to post the Administrative Code Interpretation on the department's website,and that it will become effective after the two-week review and appeal period ends. He reiterated that at the end of the year all administrative code interpretations will be bundled together and brought forward to Council as docket work for 2014. Councilmember Prince remarked that he was on the Planning Commission in 2008 when this was reviewed, and the goal certainly was not to intentionally cause ambiguity in the code. He expressed appreciation for this clarifying Administrative Code Interpretation. Responding to Mr. Persson's inquiry, Mr.Vincent clarified that alleys would be required in the R8, R10,and R14 zones. He also noted that a typical R8 lot is 5,000 square feet. Mr. Corman pointed out that a portion of the proposed interpretation currently reads that developers who submit an R8 short plat,where alleys are not required as part of the street configuration,are limited to R6 net density requirements, and that should be corrected. Mr.Vincent agreed that Mr. Corman's clarification is what the administration intended and should be corrected. Councilmember Palmer remarked that nearly everyone she has talked to is opposed to alleys. She also surmised that some of the backlash from the development community could be due to the fact that the builders know their market, and would be building homes on alleys if that is what buyers wanted. Chief Administrative Officer Covington remarked that the purpose of this Administrative Code Interpretation is to provide a balance of predictability for the development community. He stated that developers spend money on plans upfront which may have to be modified at a later time, and this interpretation is intended to give developers the guidelines they need early in the process so they can design approvable plats before spending money. AUDIENCE COMMENT Public comment was invited. Citizen Comment: Hoffman— David Hoffman, Master Builders Association, remarked that this issue has come Master Builders Association to the forefront because the economy is improving, and developers are beginning to build again. He stated that his organization believes this Administrative Code Interpretation will provide the needed flexibility and clarity the building industry is seeking. Mr. Hoffman remarked that he looks forward to working with the City over the next few months as this interpretation is implemented into City code. 274 September 9, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 274 Citizen Comment: Rogers— Nancy Rogers, Land Use Attorney for Cairn Cross& Hemplemann, representing Cairn Cross& Hemplemann Henley USA, LLC and MainVue Homes,stated that her clients are developing over 100 lots in the Tiffany Park area, and are directly impacted by the alley loaded lot requirements. She stated that she believes alleys are not land use neutral because additional pavement in a plat requires additional stormwater improvements that must be deducted from the amount of usable land. Ms. Rogers remarked that there are at least four other topographical conditions that cannot be changed besides steep slopes: 1)the topographic location of access roads,2)the topographical location of sensitive areas, 3)the location of stormwater facilities, and 4) and the required grade to meet ADA crosswalk standards. She stated that those four factors drive plat site design and should also be considered when determining the feasibility of alleys. ' Ms. Rogers submitted a letter and asked that the following three points be addressed: 1) confirmation that a developer submitting a long plat application for development in an R8 zone that is designed without alleys and with a density of six dwelling units per net acre or less is not required to present an evaluation on the feasibility of alleys; 2)confirmation that a developer submitting a long plat application for an R8 zone must meet all R8 design standards except for alleys so long as the plat density is six dwelling units per net acre or less; and 3)confirmation that a developer submitting a long plat application for development in an R8 zone that is designed without alleys and with a density of eight dwelling units per net acre or more is required to present an evaluation to prove that alleys should be precluded in the plat. Mr.Vincent confirmed that all three points are correct. Concluding, Ms. Rogers stated that she believes the following minor modifications as outlined in her letter of 9/9/2013, should also be made to the Administrative Code Interpretation: 1)add the second code section that is being amended to the title of the document; 2) add language stating"in the interim,the existing code shall be interpreted to effectuate the intent of existing code in the manner described above, which also will be clarified by the future amendments," and 3) revise language regarding slopes to include the word topography as previously requested. She also requested that the language regarding what"may" be done compared to what"shall" be done be strengthened. Mr.Vincent reiterated that the code already establishes the rules for Administrative Code Interpretations. Mr. Covington added the Committee of the Whole report will indicate Council's concurrence in the staff recommendation and could be submitted to the Hearing Examiner in the event of an appeal. He added that language was left to strike a balance for the developers who appreciate the extra flexibility in the code. Responding to Council President Corman's inquiries, Mr. Hoffman reported that the Master Builders Association's Housing Policy Committee had reviewed and is okay with the interpretation. He also remarked that a short one-week delay is acceptable. .rr September 9, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 275 275 COUNCIL CLOSING Councilmember Persson remarked that both parties appear to be in agreement DISCUSSION but the committee report is not quite ready. Mr.Vincent remarked that the department agrees with the points of clarification outlined in Ms. Rogers letter and suggested that the letter be attached to the committee report. Councilmember Zwicker stated that the purpose of the interpretation was to decrease the ambiguity in the Code and provide a level of certainty for developers so they could move forward with their projects. He remarked that he believes the administration has worked hard with the affected groups to come to a reasonable interpretation that will help them move their projects forward. Mr. Zwicker added that there is potentially a large scale change forthcoming regarding all development standards that could be discussed at a future time. Mr. Prince added that he is pleased with the progress made and is hesitant to hold back the committee report. Mr. Corman stated that he has other questions regarding alleys and suggested a "second chapter"of discussions at a later date. Mr. Prince agreed, and remarked that additional delays may cause additional frustration with the affected parties. Councilmember Taylor remarked that he believes that a compromise has been achieved and approves of moving the issue forward. Mr. Persson remarked that he would also like Ms. Rogers letter added to the committee report. Responding to Council President Corman's inquiry, Mr. Vincent stated that the administration can begin the two-week public notice process for the Administrative Code Interpretation while the report is being finalized for adoption at next week's Council meeting. He reiterated that the interpretation does not change policy and it will be included as part of the 2014 docket work program. ADJOURNMENT Council President Corman adjourned the meeting.

MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED. CARRIED. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Council President Pro Tem Persson presented a report regarding alleys. The Committee of the Whole Committee of the Whole has reviewed the issue of policy on City alleys related CED:Alleys (MBA to correspondence from the Master Builders Association. The Committee of Correspondence) the Whole directs staff to amend the Administrative/Policy Code Interpretation to ensure clarity and internal consistency regarding when alleys are required, as well as under what conditions alleys would not be required. The code should be amended as follows: 4-7-150.E.5 Alley Access: Alley access is the preferred street pattern for all new residential development, except in the Residential Low Density land use designation (RC, R-1, and R-4 zones). All new development in an area that has existing alleys shall take access off the alley. New development in areas without existing alleys shall utilize alley access on interior lots. If it can be demonstrated through an evaluation that the use of alley(s) is not practical,the use of alleys may not be required. Any or all of the following factors may apply and should be considered in evaluating whether the use of alleys is not practical: a) Size: The new development is a short plat. ■r b Topography: The topography of the site proposed for development in not conducive for an alley configuration. c) Environmental Impacts: The use of alleys would have more of a negative impact on the environment than a street pattern without alleys. 4-2-110.A Development Standards for Residential Zoning Designations (Primary and Attached Structures), in the maximum density section: Maximum Net Density2,14,15 R-8 8 dwelling units per 1 net acre, except that the maximum shall be 6 dwelling units per net acre when alleys were not evaluated for possible inclusion during the planning of the street configuration. The Committee recommends placing this issue, as outlined in the Administrative/Policy Code Interpretation,on the Planning Division's Work Program for inclusion in the Renton Municipal Code. Finally, the Committee recommends the City's long term policies regarding alleys and possible changes to address concerns about alleys be considered as part of the Comprehensive Plan update. rrr MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* 282 September 16, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 282 Councilmember Persson remarked that he is concerned that the report states that all new development in an area that has existing alleys shall take access off the alley. He cited a recent example on Renton Hill where it did not make sense to have a new home accessed off the alley. Community and Economic Development Administrator Chip Vincent remarked that this Administrative Code Interpretation is principally for new development in new subdivisions and would not be applied to individual lots. He added that the administration has the ability to modify or provide for a variance to allow the front-loading of infill lots if necessary. *MOTION CARRIED.

PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Utility: 2013-2018 Water Use accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro Tem Corman opened the Efficiency Goal Setting public meeting to consider adoption of the 2013-2018 Water Use Efficiency (WUE) Goal. Utility Engineering Supervisor Abdoul Gafour reported that the Municipal Water Law became effective in Washington State on January 22, 2007. He stated that the purpose of the law is to improve the efficient use of water and to strengthen the ability to meet the competing needs of a growing population, agriculture, industry, and fish. Mr. Gafour explained that one requirement of the law is to set water use efficiency goals and update them every six years. 306 October 14 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 306 Mr. Gafour reported that the following goals were adopted in 2007: • Reduce water system leakage to 10%or less by the year 2010; • Limit peak day demand to 16.5 million gallons per day(MGD); and • Continue reduction of average annual water consumption by.5%per year per connection. Mr. Gafour reported that the City has met all three goals. He stated that City non-revenue water leakage has dropped from 19%in 2007 to 8.5%in 2012. He explained that this means in 2007 there were 204,000 gallons of water lost per day compared to 75,000 gallons in 2012. Mr. Gafour remarked that this significant reduction is due to the City's maintenance program on leak detection, repair of water mains, and the implementation of the automated meter reading program that allows for early notification of customer leaks. He also reported that the City's peak day water demand has dropped from 15 million gallons per day in 2008 to 12 million gallons per day in 2013. Lastly, Mr. Gafour reported that the City's domestic consumption account dropped from 128 hundred cubic feet to 116 hundred cubic feet per year,which is approximately a two percent annual decrease. He pointed out that this is significantly better than the .5% per year reduction goal adopted six years ago. Continuing, Mr.Gafour reported that in January 2012 the City entered into a 50-year contract with Seattle Public Utilities for long-term water supply to supplement the City's own supply if needed. He explained that because of this new contract the City is now a member of the conservation group known as the Saving Water Partnership,which consists of Seattle Public Utilities and 18 other wholesale water purveyors from neighboring cities and districts. Mr. Gafour further explained that the group collaborated in the development of the new Water Use Efficiency(WUE)goal for 2013-2018. He added that the group determined that a new source of water supply for the whole region would not be needed until the year 2060 despite continued population growth. Mr. Gafour reported that the new regional common goal is to "Reduce per capita water use from current levels so that the current average annual retail water use of all members of the Saving Water Partnership is less than 105 million gallons per day from 2013 through 2018 despite forecasted population growth." He stated that the Washington State Department of Public Health has accepted the new goal,and each utility governing body must adopt the goal. He also stated that each utility must report their water use annually, and the consumption is reported as one common number to evaluate the goal. Concluding, Mr. Gafour reported that the Saving Water Partnership is exploring new options to improve water conservation communications,especially with non-English speaking communities. He stated that the partnership is also increasing youth and community education on conservation through expanded school programs,and will conduct irrigation efficiency programs with local contractors. Mr. Gafour also noted that residents can research water conservation resources on the website savingwater.org. Public comment was invited. 307 October 14, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 307 Renate Beedon (Renton)stated that the paperwork handed out for this public meeting indicates that the City is saving water through the use of new shower heads,toilets,washing machines, and other appliances. She remarked that she recently upgraded her appliances and fixtures, and inquired as to how the City knows that people are upgrading to more efficient fixtures. Mr. Gafour responded that the Saving Water Partnership has a list of water conservation programs and projects completed in Renton over the last few years. He cited numerous businesses and apartment complexes that have been retrofitted with newer fixtures and appliances as examples. Mayor Pro Tem Corman further explained that local building supply and hardware stores are all now selling the more efficient fixtures and appliances so anyone remodeling their homes or businesses will be installing these new plumbing fixtures. Utility Systems Program Specialist Helen Weagraff explained that plumbing fixtures and appliances all use a standardized rating system that allows municipalities and others to measure their water conservation and efficiency. Ms. Beedon suggested that the City should utilize a system to recognize neighborhoods that conserve water. She noted that Puget Sound Energy uses smiling or frowning faces on customer bills to indicate whether or not customers are conserving energy. Councilmember Persson pointed out that Renton residents receive water from three sources: City of Renton,Water District#90, and Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. He asked if the two districts were also part of the new water conservation consortium. Mr. Gafour affirmed that both Soos Creek Water and Sewer District and Water District#90 are members of the conservancy. He explained that all members of the Saving Water Partnership now have the same Water Use Efficiency goal for 2013 through 2018. He further explained that as long as water consumption for Seattle Public Utilities and the 18 other water purveyors is below 105 million gallons per day for 2013 through 2018,then the partnership has met this new goal. Councilmember Taylor added that there has been a collective improvement for all of the members of this conservancy because each utility system is benefitting from the collective upgrades to the regional water system. MOVED BY PRINCE, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. AUDIENCE COMMENT Howard McOmber(Renton) stated that October 29, 2013 marks the 100th Citizen Comment: McComber anniversary of the Mormon Church's involvement with sponsoring the Boy —Boy Scouts of America Scouts of America. He stated that he believes that Boys Scouts is a wonderful organization that helps young men to succeed in life. He remarked that the church he represents provides scouting opportunities for any boy ages eight to 18 in the City of Renton at no charge. He indicated that he would be sending invitations to City officials to celebrate this event on October 29. om 308 October 14, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 308 Citizen Comment: Beedon— Dave Beedon (Renton)stated that he believes it is appropriate for any Audience Comment Periods governing body to limit comments from the audience to issues that directly affect that body. He asked if Council had taken any step as a result of the recent incidents to refine the rules regarding the audience comment portion of the Council meetings. Mr. Corman remarked that Councilmembers had individually received information from the City Attorney regarding the topic, but had not convened as a group to discuss it. He also expressed appreciation for the supportive comments and suggestions Council has received from the public. He stated, however,that many of the ideas may end up being hard to implement because Council would not want to exclude people who do not live in City limits but own property or businesses here. Mr. Corman noted that he intends to schedule the topic for the Committee of the Whole later this year or early next year. Councilmember Briere remarked that this is certainly not the first time that people have become riled-up over an issue. She remarked that when commenters get out of hand it is up to the Mayor or meeting chairperson to redirect or stop their actions. She commented that it is just part of the job and comes with providing opportunities for free speech. Mr. Corman added that there are more effective ways to address Council than repeatedly berating them at the podium. Citizen Comment:Watt—Boy Paul Watt (Renton) advocated for the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts of America. Scouts of America He shared a story about a Cub Scout boat race he witnessed, and reminisced about being a Cub Scout master 30 years ago. Mr. Watt suggested that members of Council should occasionally attend local scout activities. CONSENT AGENDA. Items listed on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing.

He remarked that this funds the county government's nearly 12,000 employees,and that 74%of the general fund is dedicated to public safety services. He stated that although the economy is improving,the county is facing a deficit of$36 million for the 2015/2016 biennial budget. He added that sales tax revenue is not projected to return to 2007 levels until 2015, and property tax valuations will not return to 2009 levels until 2018. Mr. Dunn reported that approximately 17%across-the-board reductions in services are projected for the regional transit system next year due to the sunsetting of the State legislature's funding mechanism. He reported that Route 140 has been extended to The Landing in anticipation of the RapidRide F Line being implemented in June 2014, Route 909 has been modified to provide better access to Renton Technical College, and Route 155 has been converted to DART service.

He explained that the Seattle City Council recently Individuals with Disabilities passed an initiative to create 50 new part-time positions for individuals with developmental disabilities, and reported that 15 of these 50 positions have been filled. Chief Administrative Officer Covington pointed out that Council will be receiving a briefing on this topic at the next Committee of the Whole meeting. Citizen Comment: Bellomio— Sam Bellomio (Seattle), representing the organization Stand-Up America, i King County Council questioned why Council had not asked King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn to allow citizen comment during county council meetings after his presentation earlier in the meeting. Mr. Bellomio also retorted that he was not taking time away from Renton residents who wish to speak to Council as some have alleged because speakers rarely exceed the 30 minutes of time allotted for audience comment anyway. He submitted a list of the number of speakers from the previous six months' worth of meetings. Citizen Comment: Zimerman— Alex Zimerman (Bellevue), representing the organization Stand-Up America, King County Council complained that the King County Council does not allow citizens to comment at their meetings. He also complained that Council is not representing the 100,000 Renton residents because they will not stand with his organization and demand that the county council meetings be opened to the public. Mr. Zimerman also questioned how it was possible that some officials are repeatedly re-elected to Council every year. Citizen Comment:Adams— Audrey Adams(Renton) remarked that she is very excited to learn that the City Supportive Employment for is exploring the benefits of supported work programs. She explained that she Individuals with Disabilities has a 28-year-old son with autism who is working at Highline Community College archiving documents.

Mr. Covington reiterated that this topic is scheduled for the next week's Committee of the Whole meeting. He added that the City has utilized supportive employment in the past.

Administrative Services Administrator Wang reported that the City's largest source of general fund revenue is property tax. She stated that the amount for 2013 was approximately$33 million, and projections for 2014 are at approximately$35 million. She noted that the City assumed the cap on the tax rate was limited to$3.10 per$1,000 of assessed valuation, but was notified by King County that the City can exceed that limit because Renton annexed to the King County Library District. Ms.Wang explained that this means the City will be making a correction over the next three years to recapture that lost revenue of approximately$1.8 million. She further explained that this resulting rate of $3.15 per$1,000 of assessed valuation equates to approximately$16 more a year for a $300,000 home in Renton.

She also reported that the City uses operating revenue versus operating expenditures to balance the budget, and therefore is able to maintain a fund balance of$12.9 million. She pointed out that the administration will present a balanced budget to Council every year. Ms.Wang reported that there are adjustments in other funds due to the timing of construction projects, recognizing grants for the airport, updating utilities indirect charges for plan review and inspection services, storm drainage projects, and increased insurance premiums. She explained that the City's property and liability insurance was increased by fourteen and ten percent respectively due to a review of current coverage and assessed value of assets.

Concluding, Ms.Wang reported that the total adjusted budget over the two- year period is approximately$1.3 million, bringing the combined City-wide biennial budget for 2013/2014 to $520.4 million.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Mayor Law introduced King County Councilmember Julia Patterson. King County: Councilmember Ms. Patterson reflected on her 24 years of public service working for the City of Julia Patterson SeaTac, the State, and as a King County Councilmember representing residents in south King County. She remarked that she will not seek re-election when her term ends on December 31, 2013. She also expressed admiration for Renton's transformation as a regional player during her tenure. Ms. Patterson highlighted several policy areas she has worked on during the past 24 years as an elected official. She remarked that with help from City officials she was instrumental in establishing the Lake to Sound trail and the RapidRide F Line in Renton. She also stated that the public health clinic in Renton is successfully enrolling many uninsured residents in health care through the Affordable Care Act. Ms. Patterson remarked that she is also proud of the strides King County has made in terms of social equity. She explained that the county uses a lens called the equity impact review to evaluate the impact, both negative and positive, of all laws and the budget on vulnerable populations. She added that her only regret is not having found a dedicated long-term funding source for human services. She called on Council to continue to work towards achieving this goal. Mayor Law expressed gratitude for Ms. Patterson's representation of City residents at King County. Councilmember Palmer echoed the Mayor's sentiment and invited Ms. Patterson to the next South County Area Transit Board meeting. Council President Corman also expressed appreciation for Ms. Patterson's dedication to City interests.

Associate Planner Angie Mathias explained that there are two pathways for legalized marijuana in Washington State. She remarked that 1-692 legalized medical marijuana, and that collective gardens are one of the only remaining ways a medical marijuana cardholder can obtain marijuana. She added, however, that collective gardens may become illegal next year. Ms. Mathias further explained that 1-502 legalized recreational marijuana and created three permits. She stated that the permits are for retailers, producers, and processors, and that recreational marijuana use is governed by the State Liquor Control Board. Ms. Mathias reported that the City established the six-month moratorium because it was not anticipated that there would be a need for something called a marijuana producer, processor, or retailer. She remarked that the issue must be studied to determine whether these new land uses are agricultural or manufacturing in nature. She also remarked that the City needs time to develop an understanding of the State Liquor Control Board rules, and to determine whether or not to impose additional restrictions on these businesses. Ms. Mathias remarked that this moratorium also allows public participation in the process. She stated that the next step is for the department to develop a work program, and then follow the City's administrative process to develop and present a proposal for Council approval. Ms. Mathias added that citizens can follow the progress by regularly checking the department's website. Mayor Law stated that the moratorium is in no way an attempt to avoid or circumvent the will of the people. He stated that nearly 60%of Renton voters voted in favor of legalizing marijuana. Mayor Law remarked, however,that there are a lot of unanswered questions and the moratorium will provide City time to bring a proposal to Council. Public comment was invited. Howard McOmber(Renton) remarked that he believes that medical marijuana should be viewed as medicine and treated differently than recreational marijuana. He added that the City should not curtail people's ability to obtain medical marijuana.

Reviewing the site's zoning, Ms.Timmons stated that existing King County zoning is R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre). She stated that the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density and that the area was pre-zoned as R-4(four dwelling units per net acre) in 2007. Ms.Timmons reported that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City annexation policies and Boundary Review Board objectives. Regarding the fiscal impact analysis, she stated that at current development existing operating fund revenues are at$1,500, and at full build-out over ten years would be around$2,500. She also noted that there were no concerns from City departments. Ms. Timmons remarked that the administration recommends accepting the petition and authorizing circulation of the 60% petition specifying that property owners accept the City's Comprehensive Plan land use designation and zoning.

COUNCILMEMBERS RANDY CORMAN, Council President; MARCIE PALMER; ED PRINCE;TERRI BRIERE; RICH ZWICKER; GREG TAYLOR. DON PERSSON ABSENT. CITY STAFF IN ATTENDANCE CHIP VINCENT, Community and Economic Development Administrator;TERRY HIGASHIYAMA, Community Services Administrator. ERIKA COWLING (Former employee.) SPECIAL PRESENTATION Community and Economic Development Administrator Chip Vincent introduced CED: Benson Hill Community Erika Conkling,former Senior Planner for the City of Renton. He remarked that Plan she was instrumental in developing the Benson Hill Community Plan. Ms. Conkling reported that over two years of community engagement, visioning, and refinement was put into the Benson Hill Community Plan. She remarked that the plan guides the direction of future changes and investments the City will make in that area. She also noted that it is an important tool for strengthening ties between area residents and the City. Ms. Conkling reported that there are three aspects to the Benson Hill Community Plan vision: 1) creating focus, 2) improving connections, and 3) building communities by improving amenities and the feeling of safety, and creating social outlets and activities to build social connections. She stated that a short-term solution to creating social connections is to improve the park space at the Cascade Shopping Center. She remarked that long-term solutions include encouraging a healthy business environment, supporting businesses, and creating design guidelines that meet the standards of the community plan. Ms. Conkling remarked that people in the Benson Hill area are concerned about safety. She stated that residents would like the active problem solving policing to continue. She also noted that principles of crime prevention through environmental design should be applied to any new development or redevelopment in the area. Additionally, she stated that creating a strong and vibrant community through social connections will help improve safety in the area. Concluding, Ms. Conkling reported that the plan recommends creating a Benson Hill Community Plan Advisory Board. She explained that this board should include members of the community who are interested in improving their neighborhood. She noted that they would provide recommendations to Council regarding design guidelines, neighborhood aesthetics,gateway projects, and clean-up programs. She also stated that the board would be responsible for keeping the Benson Hill Community Plan updated. Councilmember Prince stated that the King County legacy of hit-and-miss sidewalk standards makes it hard for residents to walk or bicycle around the community without fear of being struck by a vehicle. He also remarked that more people would use Cascade Park if it was not hidden from the street. 366 October 14, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 366 Councilmember Taylor agreed with Mr. Prince's assessments of the street and sidewalk standards, and thanked area residents for their patience regarding the amount of time it takes to make these needed improvements. Councilmember Palmer also expressed appreciation for the community's patience. She remarked that the plan establishes a road map for future improvements and investments in the area. Councilmember Briere expressed appreciation for the community's involvement in the process. She stated that staying involved will help move the process along more quickly and smoothly. Councilmember Zwicker remarked that this plan is very important and will serve as a guide for future improvements for many decades. He thanked Ms. Conkling for her involvement with the plan. Council President Corman remarked that he agrees with his colleagues,and pointed out that there are other community plans being prepared. He added that residents wishing to get involved with their communities should contact the City. Public comment was invited. AUDIENCE COMMENT Joe Avolio (Renton) remarked that the City will have a difficult time creating Citizen Comment: Avolio— baseball fields and sports complexes in the Benson Hill area because of wetland Concerns Regarding Wetlands issues.

Associate Planner Rocale Timmons reported that school district impact fees may only be used for capital facilities, not for ongoing operations or maintenance. She also stated that the fees are calculated based on an assessment of the districts' capital facilities plans, and are used to offset the impact of new growth on capital facilities. Ms.Timmons reported that the Issaquah School District is requesting impact fees of$5,730 for each new single-family home, an increase of$1,192; and$1,097 for each new multi-family unit,which is a new fee,for 2014. She reported that the Kent School District is requesting a continuation of the $5,486 fee for each new single-family home and $3,378 fee for each new multi-family unit for 2014. She also reported that the Renton School District is requesting a $5,455 fee for each new single-family home, a $940 decrease; and $1,339 for each new multi-family unit, a $31 increase, for 2014. Ms.Timmons noted that the administration is recommending that each school district's current Capital Facilities Plan is also adopted. Public comment was invited. Ralph Fortunado (Kent), Fiscal Services Director for the Kent School District, remarked that the fees for the Kent School District have not increased for three years. He reported that there is a balance of approximately$115,000 in their impact fee account. Steve Crawford (Issaquah), Director of Capital Projects for the Issaquah School District, expressed appreciation for Council's consideration of impact fees. He remarked that the Issaquah School District fees have changed due to projected increases in student generation rates,and because King County has deemed that new schools cannot be constructed in rural areas which impacts land acquisition costs. Councilmember Persson asked for clarification regarding this revised rule from King County. Councilmember Briere remarked that she is a member of the Growth Management Planning Board and confirmed that King County no longer allows schools to be built in rural areas. She explained that there can be exceptions to the rule, but placing schools in rural areas sometimes cause fiscal traffic, road improvements, and other issues for the local community. Dave Beedon (Renton) asked for clarification as to what exactly Council was doing by adopting the requested impact fees. Council President Corman explained that the fees are requested by the school districts to offset new development within City limits that are also within the respective school district boundaries. He further explained that the City is agreeing to collect the fees on behalf of the districts at the appropriate stage of the development process, and the fees are passed-through to the school districts. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY ZWICKER, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC: HEARING.

Items noted were: i • Renton, in partnership with Catholic Community Services will continue to operate the Severe Weather Shelter(SWS)through Wednesday, December 11. The shelter is located at Renton Harambee Center, 316 S. 3rd St. in downtown Renton. Check in and registration is at 8:30 p.m. The shelter will close at 8 a.m. and all must vacate. All must register at the door, and j rules for health and safety of clients, staff and the broader community will apply. • Renton was awarded a $150,000 grant by the Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Council to study and identify salmon friendly projects along the Cedar River. This grant will help us determine the best ways to improve and restore the lower reaches of the Cedar River in Renton, while meeting State and Federal environmental requirements and our collective goals to help restore salmon in the river. Attorney:Amendments to City Attorney Larry Warren reported that the owners of The Landing and the Parking Garage & Parking City had a private/public partnership in which the City contributed substantial Garage O&M Agreement for funds to the infrastructure of The Landing and purchased a parking garage that The Landing,Transwestern serves the development. He explained that several lengthy agreements were Harvest Lakeshore, LLC signed, and one requirement was the owners were to construct and install a i (AC-060) large sign tower. He further explained that over time discussion ensued regarding the construction of something other than a sign tower, and the need for assigned parking stalls at the parking garage for one of the tenants. Mr. Warren reported that Council has been presented with amendments to the Parking Garage Agreement and Parking,Garage and Area Maintenance, Operations and Management Agreement for The Landing that covers these proposed changes. Mr.Warren also reported that there is a proposal for the owners to sell The Landing, and the potential buyer has asked to extend the Parking Garage Agreement for an additional 50 years with an option to purchase it. He remarked that the administration is requesting that Council approve the proposed amendments by way of adoption of a resolution. Mr. Warren introduced Rod Swift, Property Manager, and Jerry Hillis,Attorney, representing Pearlmark Harvest Lakeshore, LLC, who owns The Landing. Mr. Hillis stated that he is available to answer any questions about the proposed amendments to the agreements. Mr. Swift confirmed that The Landing is under contract for sale, and that the original agreement calls for the construction and installation of a large sign tower when the retail center reaches 90%occupancy. He reported that the current occupancy rate is 89.4%. Mr. Swift reported that the existing fireplace will be replaced with a new fireplace that is intended to become a gathering spot at The Landing. He stated that the new fireplace will be installed in front of the movie theater entrance, will include a low-slung hearth that people can sit on, and new furniture will be placed around it. He added that new pavers, new landscaping, and additional seating columns will also be installed. December 9, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 375 375 Additionally, Mr. Swift announced that a new artist-commissioned sculpture tentatively called the sundial will be installed in the round-about at the intersection of N. 10th PI. and N. 10 St. as an alternative to the sign tower. He presented two artist renderings of the sculpture and noted that it actually resembles an airplane wing, which honors Renton's heritage as a major aerospace manufacturer. Councilmember Briere remarked that the design is a great improvement over the proposed sign tower. Councilmember Persson expressed concern that the potential buyer of the property may not be bound to these proposed amendments after the sale closes. Mr. Warren clarified that the amendments will become contract obligations for the new buyers. Councilmember Zwicker expressed concern that the fireplace design was a way to offset some of the cost for the sign tower, and noted that he believes Pearlmark Harvest Partners, LLC should bear that cost. He also remarked that he believes the sundial sculpture is lacking, and is not necessarily a proper trade for a sign tower. Mr.Zwicker further remarked that he did not believe there was a need to rush approval of the amendments because the new owner will also be obligated to build the sign tower. Mr. Swift remarked that he believes now is the time to renegotiate the agreements because the occupancy rate is nearly at the 90% benchmark for when the sign tower has to be built. Mayor Law remarked that a sign tower promotes The Landing and does not promote the City of Renton. He noted that prior Councilmembers had advocated for the sign, and he is much more interested in an investment that enhances the experience of the citizens shopping at the center. Councilmember Palmer remarked that the one thing lacking at The Landing is a place for children. She noted that the rocks and water feature is not something she would want young children playing on. She also remarked that the proposed enhancements to the fireplace area do not provide the type of place for children many residents are seeking. Mr. Persson noted that his concerns were satisfied and he believes the proposal is a significant improvement over a large sign. He noted that a prior Councilmember had convinced the rest of Council that The Landing would not succeed without the sign, and that is clearly not the case. Mr. Corman noted that the sign on 1-405 has proven to be just as effective as the proposed sign tower would have been. He asked for more information regarding the sale of the property. Mr. Swift remarked that the property is under contract with a large institutional investor. He explained that they own billions of dollars in assets across the nation and will be a great steward of the property. Mr. Hillis added that the agreement requires the owner to submit the buyer's information and qualifications to the City, and all parties will abide by the agreement and any authorized amendments. 376 December 9 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 376 AUDIENCE COMMENT Stuart Avery(Renton) reemphasized the importance of diversifying the City's Citizen Comment: Avery— workforce as discussed at the earlier Committee of the Whole meeting. He also Renton Workforce Diversity& remarked that he does not understand how City residents are being misserved Council Meeting Frequency by having Council meetings on a weekly basis. He added, however,that he agrees that public testimony should be allowed at Committee of the Whole meetings. Citizen Comment: Beedon— Dave Beedon (Renton) stated that the effect on the public of having fewer Council Meeting Frequency Council meetings should be seriously considered before making any changes. He added that Council should maintain scheduling flexibility, and shift public testimony to the Committee of the Whole meeting if there are to be fewer Council meetings. Citizen Comment: Asher— Beth Asher(Renton) expressed opposition to changing the frequency of Council Council Meeting Frequency meetings. She stated that having fewer Council meetings will disenfranchise residents because it allows fewer opportunities for people to approach Council. She added that if there are two fewer Council meetings than there should be two Town Hall meetings held on Saturdays each month. Citizen Comment: Ossenkop— Kathy Ossenkop (Renton) stated that having fewer meetings per month could Council Meeting Frequency negatively affect City business. She cited The Landing amendments as an example of items that needed Council's immediate attention. She also mentioned that it took weekly public comment about the library for nearly a year before final action was taken on that issue. Citizen Comment: Keyes— David Keyes(Renton) expressed opposition to the reduction of Council Council Meeting Frequency meetings. He added, however,that he agrees that public testimony should be allowed at Committee of the Whole meetings. He remarked that at times members of the public provided information, not just opinions, to Council during the weekly meetings regarding the library issue. He stated that he believes this is a move towards less transparency and will disenfranchise residents. Council President Corman stated that the public will have more opportunities to comment prior to any decision being made about Council meeting frequency. He added that generally the Council meeting is when final decisions are made, and he would like the public to be participants in earlier stages of each project. He also stated that costs should be considered when discussing Council meeting frequency. Mr. Corman added that he has discussed what impact fewer meetings might have on City staff with the Mayor. Councilmember Briere reminded everyone that there are additional ways to contact Council. She explained that citizens can email individual Councilmembers, email the Council as a whole, write letters, or call them on the phone. She stated that attending the weekly Council meetings is only one way to discuss an issue with Council. Mayor Law remarked that City staff will research and provide information regarding what other cities in the region are doing. He stated that very few cities hold weekly Council meetings, and most have extended study sessions on opposite weeks. Mr. Covington noted that this research is currently in progress and he believes that Renton is the only suburban city in King County that still holds four meetings a month. December 9, 2013 Renton City Council Minutes Page 377 377 Citizen Comment: McOmber— Howard McOmber(Renton) stated that he believes it is important for people to Volunteerism & Council have an opportunity to interact with Council, and he opposes reducing the Meeting Frequency meeting frequency.
