SUMMARY OF ACTION:
City Code allows the City to grant a latecomer agreement when a developer installs water main
facilities, in order to ensure that each property benefiting from the new facility be assessed its fair
share of the costs. On June 6, 2005, Council granted preliminary approval of a latercomer request (LA-
05-001) to Steven Friedman, Owner, Friedman Development LLC, and a one-year extension on June 5,
2006. Following construction and the determination of actual costs, staff presents the latecomer
agreement for final approval by Council. Friedman Development, LLC has installed the agreed upon
improvements and transferred title of these improvements to the City. The final cost is $282,112.00,
which is $37,391.70 more than the original estimate of $244,720.30.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Grant a final 15-year latecomer agreement (LA-05-001) to Friedman Development, LLC for water main
extension along Williams Avenue S., and authorize staff to finalize the latecomer agreement per City
Code.

Page 5
8. This agreement shall be placed for record with the King County Auditor’s Office within
thirty (30) days of final execution of the agreement.
9. Before the “CITY” will collect any latecomer’s fee, the “DEVELOPER” will transfer title to
all of the improvements under the latecomer’s agreement to the “CITY”. The
“DEVELOPER” will also assign to the “CITY” the benefit and right to the latecomer’s fee
should the “CITY” be unable to locate the “DEVELOPER” to tender any latecomer’s fee
that the “CITY” has received. The “DEVELOPER” shall be responsible for keeping the
“CITY” informed of its correct mailing address. Should the “CITY” be unable to locate the
“DEVELOPER” in order to deliver a latecomer’s fee, the “CITY” shall undertake an
independent investigation to determine the location of the “DEVELOPER”. Should the
“CITY” after a good faith attempt to locate the “DEVELOPER” be unable to do so, then the
latecomer’s fee shall be placed in the Special Deposit Fund held by the “CITY” for two (2)
years. At any time within the two-year period the “DEVELOPER” may receive the
latecomer’s fee, without interest, by applying to the “CITY” for that latecomer’s fee.
After the expiration of the two-year period, all rights of the “DEVELOPER” to that fee shall
expire, and the “CITY” shall be deemed to be the owner of those funds.
10. When the “CITY” has received the funds for a latecomer’s fee, it will forward that fee to
the “DEVELOPER” within thirty (30) days of receipt of the funds. Funds received by
negotiable instrument, such as a check, will be deemed received ten (10) days after
delivery to the “CITY”. Should the “CITY” fail to forward the latecomer’s fee to the
“DEVELOPER” through the “CITY’S” sole negligence, then the “CITY” shall pay the
“DEVELOPER” interest on those monies at the rate of twelve (12%) percent per annum.
However, should the “DEVELOPER” not keep the “CITY” informed of its current correct
mailing address, or should the “DEVELOPER” otherwise be negligent and thus contribute
to the failure of the “CITY” to pay over the latecomer’s fee, then no interest shall accrue
on late payment of the latecomer’s fee.

11. When authorized by the City Council, a latecomer’s agreement can be granted for a
period of up to but not to exceed 15 years. No extensions will be granted beyond the
period of time established by City Council. The latecomer’s agreement will expire at the
end of the period of time established by the City Council.
12. By instituting the latecomer’s agreement, the “CITY” does not agree to assume any
responsibility to enforce the latecomer’s agreement. The recorded latecomer agreement
will be a matter of public record and will serve as a notice to the owners of the potential
assessment should connection to the improvements be made. The assessment roll listing
the affected properties and the pro-rata potential latecomer charge for each will be on
file with the “CITY”. The “DEVELOPER” has responsibility to monitor those parties
connecting to the improvement. Should the “CITY” become aware of such a connection,
it will use its best efforts to collect the latecomer’s fee, but shall not incur any liability
should it inadvertently fail to collect the latecomer’s fee.

SUBJECT:2011 Title IV Docket #6 Amendments Review
ISSUE:
Should the 2011 Title IV Docket #6 Amendments be referred to the Planning &
Development Committee and the Planning Commission?
RECOMMENDATION:
Refer the 2011 Title IV Docket #6 Amendments to the Planning and Development
Committee and Planning Commission for review.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
RMC 4-8-070G outlines the types of review the Planning Commission shall conduct. The
review of the Development Regulations (Title IV Docket) process is specifically listed.
Land Use Regulations review occurs upon Council request. The Planning Commission
will make recommendations regarding the Land Use Regulations to the Council. Final
recommendation of the Title IV Docket will be the authority of the Council.
Title IV Development Regulations
This process is codified in RMC 4-9-025, Title IV Development Regulation Revision
Process. Staff has compiled a series of amendments to Title IV of the Renton Municipal
Code (Development Regulations) that includes oversights made in previous Title IV
updates and initiates several new policy/code review projects. The compiled list
includes City staff initiated amendments as shown in the 2011 Title IV Docket #6
Amendments Table.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed schedule for review of the Title IV Docket #6 Amendments is for the
Planning Commission review to occur during February through June 2011.

Animal Provisions for recently annexed areas
The East Renton Plateau Citizens Task Force recommended that residents in areas that annex to the
City be allowed to continue to keep animals that would be considered non-conforming in Renton,
but were legal in King County, after the area annexes. Additionally, the Task Force recommended
that those non-conforming animals be allowed to be replaced in perpetuity for that parcel. In 2007,
Council affirmed the position of the Task Force on both of these issues. Since then, implementation
of these two policies has proven challenging for staff. The largest challenge has been
administration of disparate rules for different portions of the City. This work item would clarify the
City policy on this issue and improve the ease of administration by seeking to have one policy that
applies to the entire City.

New rules authorizing sunset provisions for inactive land use applications (“Old dogs”)
Add provisions to put a sunset date on projects that have been determined to be complete, but no
action has been taken on them in a long period of time. Many land use applications have been
submitted and determined to be complete by the City. However, many of these applications have
had no activity for months to years and are vested to the codes and regulations in place at time of
complete application (some as old as 2006). This docket item would add provisions to Title IV that
would allow, with proper notice, closing of land use applications that have not seen action for an
extended period of time.

Recommended Action:

Fiscal Impact:
Expenditure Required: $ Transfer Amendment: $
Amount Budgeted: $ Revenue Generated: $
Total Project Budget: $ City Share Total Project: $
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Encroachments on public property include adjacent property owners using City-owned property for their
purposes, illegal dumping, illegal tree removal, and building upon public lands without permission.
Many of the encroachments occur along natural areas where federal funding requirements prohibit
these types of uses. Dumping plants has created an invasive plant problem in natural areas, an
expensive maintenance repair problem. In one instance, the Community Services Department expended
over $5,000 to remove a dump site in the Cedar River Natural Area. The Encroachment on Public
Property Ordinance will be one tool to reduce, prevent and remedy similar encroachments.
The requested action (through adoption of the attached ordinance) would add a new Chapter 17 to Title
Nine of the Renton Municipal Code, titled "Encroachments on Public Property". The ordinance
establishes the policy of prevention of encroachments on public property, establishes an appeal
procedure for encroachment violation notices, levies costs to resolve, remove or correct an
encroachment, establishes damages and value of use for an encroachment, allows for use permits for
public property, declares encroachment as a nuisance and establishes that an enforcement violation
may be an infraction or misdemeanor.
Upon adoption by City Council, the ordinance will become effective 30 days from signing after
publication.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve code amendments regarding encroachments and adopt the ordinance.

Agreement with the City of Tukwila
ISSUE:
Should Council approve a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an
agreement between the City of Tukwila and the City of Renton?
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the interlocal agreement between the
City of Tukwila and the City of Renton for Phase II of the SW 27th Street/Strander Blvd.
Extension Project establishing Renton as the lead agency and present the resolution for
reading and adoption.
BACKGROUND:
On June 15, 2010, Tukwila formally terminated the lnterlocal Agreement CAG 08-047
for the SW 27th/Strander Blvd. project. That agreement covered the relocation of the
Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks, construction of a bridge overcrossing of the
Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) and UPRR tracks, and cost sharing.
The UPRR was initially favorable to the relocation of their track as evidenced by their
letter of October 8, 2004. In that letter they included eight conditions for
acquiescing to the relocation of their track, and noted that additional conditions
might be imposed. Unfortunately, the imposition of "additional conditions" led to

Page 44 of 135
Terri Briere, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
Page 2 of 2
February 28, 2011
extended negotiations between Renton and the UPRR and ended with their
imposition of a condition that was physically impossible to perform. The
construction of a bridge overcrossing is not feasible without moving the track,
leading to the current design that leaves the UPRR tracks in their current location
with the new roadway crossing under that track.
In their letter of June 15, Tukwila referenced an "unprecedented shortfall in
funding," and the lack of agreement with the UPRR as the reason for the termination
of the agreement.
The purpose of this new agreement is to establish the City of Renton as the lead agency
to manage the project, and to provide for the design, environmental documentation,
property acquisition, and construction of the project.
The agreement establishes that Renton owned water and sewer utilities located in
Tukwila will remain City owned and maintained facilities. The storm water detention
facility required for the Phase II project will be located on City of Tukwila property and
will be owned and maintained by Renton.
This agreement does not address funding of the project.
