Conditions for cross country skiing and snowshoeing are better than ever thanks to all the new snow in the mountains. Transportation is provided from the Renton Community Center. Equipment is not provided. For more information, call 425-430-6700 or visit www.rentonwa.gov. • The Recreation Division, in conjunction with Mohan Ski School, offers ski and snowboard lessons for participant ages four years and older. For more information on this program, call 425-868-3820 or visit skimohan.com. PLANNING/BUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT • The Renton Airport Informational Workshop and Open House was on Tuesday, January 16. Over 50 people attended the workshop, which included an open house with exhibits, a panel presentation on the Master Plan Update, and an opportunity for the audience to ask questions. The workshop was broadcast live on Renton's Cable Channel 21. A similar workshop is planned for the Mercer Island community on January 29. • The recent series of snow storms have provided some special challenges to Renton and other jurisdictions. The onset of snow fall during morning and afternoon rush hours created problems both in getting snow removal equipment into areas and due to abandoned vehicles blocking streets. The extended cold spell also delayed natural thawing that usually happens in western Washington. These features of the storms limited the effectiveness of our snow plows, application of de-icing agents, and spreading of sand. Some procedural changes are planned to enhance the City's response to such events in the future. For example, some steep collector streets that connect to our major arterials will be added to our first response for snow removal. In addition, we will prepare an informational mailer providing information to better prepare residents for driving in snowy or icy conditions. We will also provide more emphasis on early impoundment and towing of abandoned vehicles so that our equipment will have access to critical streets. These steps will help the City respond more effectively to such incidents in the future. • Councilman Clawson provided testimony to the King County Council in support of the 2006 King County Flood Hazard Management Plan on January 16. The Plan was approved by the King County Council. Administrative Report January 22,2007 Page 2 • The BNSF Corridor Advisory Committee met on January 19. Councilmember Marcie Palmer attended this meeting as Renton's representative. The Committee decided on a final recommendation regarding short-term, long-term, and medium-term uses of the various segments of the BNSF track. For Segment A, Renton to North Bellevue, the recommendation for the short- term use will be a regional multi-purpose trail, with the whole trail being in a railbank to preserve future rail transportation uses. For medium and long-term use, the recommendation is to continue the multi-purpose trail and to reconsider high-capacity transit rail options in this corridor. • We have been notified by WSDOT that the grant submittal put forward by Renton and Tukwila for funding for the Tukwila Commuter Rail Station has been selected for a fiscally constrained grant in the amount of$:5,500,000 as part of the 2007-2009 Regional Mobility Grant Program. Partners on this grant application included The Boeing Company, King County Metro, Sound Transit, BNSF, and Amtrak. 1 CITY OF RENTON COUNCIL AGENDA BILL #: 1 Submitting Data: For Agenda of: January 22,2007 W Dept/Div/Board..

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Allan Preliminary Plat with conditions as outlined in the Examiner's Report and Recommendation. Rentonnet/agnbill/ bh November 14, 2006 OFFICE OF THE HEARING EXAMINER CITY OF RENTON Minutes APPLICANT: Christelle, Inc., 12515 Hwy 209 Leavenworth, WA 98826 OWNER: Roger&Patricia Allan 4100 12th Street E, East Wenatchee,WA 98802 Allan Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA 06-016, ECF, PP, CAR,V-H LOCATION: 3629 NE 19th Street SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Approval for a 16-lot subdivision of a 4.9-acre site intended for the development of single-family residential lots. SUMMARY OF ACTION: Development Services Recommendation: Approve subject to conditions Neative DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT: The Development Services Report was received by the Examiner on August 29, 2006. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Development Services Report, examining available information on file with the application, field checking the property and surrounding area; the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: MINUTES The following minutes are a summary of the September 5, 2006 hearing. The legal record is recorded on CD. The hearing opened on Tuesday, September 5,2006, at approximately 9:01 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Renton City Hall. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit No. 1: Yellow file containing the original Exhibit No. 2: Preliminary Plat Plan application,proof of posting,proof of publication and other documentation pertinent to this request. Exhibit No.3: Preliminary Grading Plan Exhibit No.4: Profile Plan Exhibit No. 5: Conceptual Landscape Plan Exhibit No.6: Neighborhood Detail Map Allan Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-06-016, ECF, PP, CAR,V-H November 14, 2006 Page 2 Nord Exhibit No. 7: Zoning Map Exhibit No.8: ERC Mitigation Measures Exhibit No. 9: Diagram showing setbacks from easements The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Jill Ding, Senior Planner, Development Services, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The property is located south of NE 19th Street, southeast of Queen and north of Sunset Boulevard.The site is zoned Residential-8 dwelling units per acre(R-8)and Residential Single-Family(RSF)on the Comprehensive Land Use Map. Access to the site has been proposed to be off of NE 19th Street,which ends at Queen. NE 19th Street would be extended to the west to connect to Pierce. The applicant proposes to subdivide into 16 lots and 2 tracts. A stream and protected slope areas are located on the southern portion of the site. The stream is a Class 3 Stream, the applicant's biologist indicated that it should actually be reclassified as a Class 2. A Class 2 stream requires a 100-foot buffer, however, if the buffer falls within a protected slope area the buffer extends to the top of the protected slope. A Variance has been requested from the City's Critical Areas Regulations to permit a stormwater outlet pipe and a sewer pipe to be located on the protected slope. A Critical Areas Exemption was granted on August 29,2006 to permit the stormwater pipe within the stream buffer. The Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance—Mitigated with 9 mitigation measures. No appeals were filed. Preliminary Plat Criteria: The proposed plat is consistent with the Land Use Element and Community Design Element and Environmental Elements of the Comprehensive Plan Designation. The net density is 7.6 dwelling units per acre, which is within the allowed density for the R-8 zoning designation. This property has critical areas,private access easements and public right-of-way dedication areas, which were deducted from the gross lot area. All lots appear to be in compliance with the required lot width,depth and size standards as well as the required setback requirements for construction of single family residences for the R-8 zoning designation. All setback areas need to be measured from the property lines and the access easement lines. Staff was unsure regarding the area shown for Lot 7,however, if there is a problem it does appear that the lot line between Lots 7 and 8 could be adjusted if necessary. Lot 16 appears to show an incorrect setback along a street and will need to be corrected. Lots 13 and 14 would require a 15-foot setback on the side yard along a street. Compliance with all setback and building standards will be verified prior to the issuance of individual building permits. The proposal includes 2 tracts, one on the southern end of the property, Tract A, which contains the protected slope areas as well as the stream. It is a Native Growth Protection tract. Tract B, located along the east side of Queen Court NE contains the Olympic Pipeline. There are 2 existing residences on the site, they are both proposed to be removed. A demolition permit must be obtained and all inspections be completed prior to the final plat approval. Allan Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-06-016, ECF, PP, CAR, V-H November 14, 2006 Page 3 The City requires the planting of two trees in the front yard or planting strips of each lot. The applicant has proposed a five-foot planting strip in the front yard areas of each of the lots. Staff did have some concerns with the planned plantings and the fact that they could grow too tall and affect the clear vision area along Queen Court and 19th, and where the western easement meets 19th. There was discussion regarding access to the lots and if perhaps there were not too many lots to provide proper access to this development. If the plat were reduced to 15 lots it would still meet the density requirements. No Parking signs should be placed along the access easements to ensure that emergency access is not obstructed. A Homeowner's Association should be established to be responsible for common improvements and/or tracts within the plat. Fire,Transportation and Park Mitigation Fees have been imposed for this plat. The protected slope areas are all contained within Tract A and some of the sensitive slopes are located within Lots 11-16. Any development on this site will require a Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and requires compliance with the 2001 Department of Ecology Manual regarding erosion control. Tract A would be required to be contained within a Native Growth Protection Area. • A total of 36 significant trees have been identified,retention of 25%would be 9 trees that need to be retained or replaced. The applicant is proposing to retain 3 existing trees and the submitted landscape plan shows the installation of 32 trees on the project site. The site is located in the Renton School District and they have indicated that they would be able to handle the proposed 6 additional students. A preliminary storm drainage report was submitted and reviewed by the City. The existing stormwater runoff sheet flows to the southwest across the subject site into the Honey Creek stream channel where it flows northwest eventually to May Creek. The drainage report proposes to treat onsite flows and impervious surface runoff within a wet-vault,which would be located within the 26-foot private access easement located on the west side of the property. That vault would discharge directly into Honey Creek. The proposed development is within the City of Renton's water and sewer service area. There is an existing 8- inch water main in NE 191 Street east of the project at Queen Avenue NE. It will be necessary to install an 8- inch water main within NE 19th Street that will extend onto the project site. There is an existing 8-inch sewer main in NE 19th Street east of the project site at Queen Avenue NE. There is also an existing sewer main along Honey Creek. An 8-inch sewer main extension to serve the proposed lots will be required. Variance Criteria: There are two sensitive areas being addressed; the stream buffer as well as the protected slope area. Within a stream buffer a storm water outlet facility is exempt. The City therefore, has approved the exemption. Niro' Sewers are permitted within the buffer provided that they comply with the utility crossing requirements outlined in the sensitive area regulations. Allan Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-06-016,ECF,PP,CAR,V-H November 14,2006 Page 4 Basically nothing is allowed on a protective slope unless a variance is approved. The sewer is a public utility and the City is willing to take over the maintenance of the stormwater pipe to ensure that it is a public facility. The Examiner inquired as to why the City has decided to take over this facility at this particular time, it appears to be a stretch of the City Code. Ms. Ding stated that there are other private facilities that the City owns and maintains within the city. Having these pipes on the protective slopes would provide more protection for the slopes than if the pipes were placed in another location. The variance, for the surface water portion, would result in surface water discharging at the top of the slope,the slope has already been identified as unstable,it is imperative that it be piped and discharged at the bottom of the slope. As for the sewer, the applicant has stated that there was no other alternative to serve the project with sanitary sewers. The sewer pipe would be bored into the slope, it was not clear as to how the surface water was going to be handled. Tom Touma,Touma Engineers,6632 South 1915t Place,Ste. E-102, Kent,WA 98032 stated that in regard to the setback for Lot 16 he did agree that it needed to be adjusted. Lots 12-16 with access via a 26-foot private road, the building setbacks would be 20-feet from the 26-foot access road. There is a 10-foot easement for sanitary sewer within that 20-foot setback for those lots. The Examiner stated that the issue was between Lots 13 and 14 there needs to be a setback from the hammerhead turnaround. The front yard is okay, the issue is the side yards of those two lots. Lots 8 and 9 seem to have the same issues, Lot 7 has a small corner of the turnaround. Nod Mr. Touma stated that again there is a 26-foot easement and it is correct that there should be a turnaround at the 90-degree intersection. The rest of that was created as an access easement to Lot 11. The Examiner stated that the City has changed the requirements, which now state that the easement must be subtracted and the lot actually meet building standards as though it was on a street. Kayren Kittrick,Development Services stated that the cul-de-sac is mostly an easement for petroleum lines. The road itself will have to be built to City standards,but it also has to meet BP standards. BP has not been terribly upset with a roadway access being there,but no homes are allowed in that location. There are certain regulations that the City of Renton and the property owners in the vicinity will have to be aware of regarding locates for any work that will be done in that vicinity. There is also a power transmission easement that is included in the dash lines. Permission will have to be received from every ownership utilities before any permit can be issued for the road to be built. If the access is allowed to stand to Lot 11, it must be sprinklered because it exceeds the distance from the nearest intersection. If it went straight through Lot 7, it would be a much cleaner access. It would also put it outside of the private utilities that are in that area. The Examiner stated that Lot 7 may need to be sacrificed for a cleaner access. Ms.Kittrick continued with the sewer question,the requirement was that the sewer on the east side be removed to the west side or to the private access easement. No finished floor elevations are shown on the plat drawings and so a determination could not be made whether each house would be able to be served by the sewer that has been proposed. The depth question is,how deep can they put anything in this vicinity. The sanitary sewer that is going to be serving Lots 3,4, 5, and 6 was hard to map out due to the catch basins in the cul-de-sacs and how Allan Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-06-016, ECF, PP, CAR, V-H November 14,2006 Page 5 Noiew deep they were going to have to go. Depth, service, finish floors and access to the manholes are all concerns. The pavement has to be to every other manhole. They can be cleaned from either end,but they also need access to every other manhole. The Examiner was concerned if there was enough information, or is more needed. Are there too many unanswered questions? Ms.Kittrick stated that final design would have a big effect on this project. There is enough information,yes the project can be served especially if they are going to Honey Creek,there is plenty of fall and service. The issues are more tweaking than anything else especially since one line is going to be moved to the 26-foot private access easement. As far as stormwater,the drisco pipe can be hand curved around plantings so that the surface is not disturbed. There are three or four in the City now and all are functioning beautifully, some of them you can barely see where they are due to the plantings growing over them. It is to the City's and the general public's benefit to take responsibility for these utilities,they can make sure they are maintained properly. Jill Ding presented a new exhibit showing an approximate sketch of what the revised setbacks would look like and what the revised building envelope dimensions would be in the narrower parts. Lot 7 would require a small adjustment,Lot 8 would require the measurement of the 20-foot setback from the edge of the easement. Lot 9 measuring a 15-foot setback from the easement would result in a 30-wide residence,Lots 13 and 14 would have err 15-foot setbacks from the edge of the hammerhead, there would be a 25-foot wide building envelope for Lot 14 and 30-foot wide envelope for Lot 13. Lot 16 would have a 30-foot wide building envelope once the adjustment was made for the setback. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak,and no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 10:16 am. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS &RECOMMENDATION Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant,Christelle, Inc, filed a request for a Preliminary Plat together with a variance from Critical Areas regulations. 2. The yellow file containing the staff report,the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit#1. 3. The Environmental Review Committee(ERC), the City's responsible official issued a Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated(DNS-M). 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. New 5. The subject site is located at 3629 NE 19th Street. The subject site is located southwest of the intersection of North 19th Street and Queen Avenue NE. Queen extends north from its T-intersection with 19th. • Allan Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-06-016, ECF,PP,CAR,V-H November 14, 2006 Page 6 6. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of single-family uses,but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. 7. The subject site is currently zoned R-8(Single Family-8 dwelling units/acre). 8. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 4337 enacted in December 1991. 9. The subject site is approximately 4.9 acres. The subject site is approximately 327 feet wide (east to west)by approximately 654 feet deep. Two existing residences located on the subject site will be removed if the plat is approved. 10. The parcel slopes down toward the south where Honey Creek is located below steep slopes. The steep slopes in this case are defined as Protected Slope areas. Honey Creek is defined on the City's Critical Areas Map as a Class 3 stream but the applicant's analysis says it should be a Class 2 Stream. A Class 2 stream requires a 100 foot stream buffer unless if falls with a Protected Slope. If within a Protected Slope, the buffer runs to the top of the slope. The ERC,based on a geotechnical report,required buildings to be setback 10 feet from the top of the slope. The applicant has proposed running both a stormwater outlet pipe and the sanitary sewer line down the steep slope and a variance is required for with work in the Critical Areas. 11. Two major utility easements run along the east margin of the subject site. There is the obvious high *4101 power electricity transmission line with one tower located along the east property line. The second utility easement is the Olympic Pipeline,which contains two pipelines. The ERC required disclosure of risk associated with this second easement. 12. The tree inventory shows that there are 36 significant or protected trees on the site. Code requires the retention or replacement to total 25%or 9 trees. The applicant proposes retaining only 3 native trees but will be planting required lot and street trees which staff determined will meet code requirements. Trees in the creek buffer and protected slope areas will be preserved. A Native Growth Protection easement will be created to protect the sensitive areas. Both tree preservation and the native growth area would be affected by a variance to allow utility lines across the steep slopes(see below). 13. The applicant proposes dividing the subject site into sixteen lots and two tracts. Due to the location of the major utility easement corridors, all lots will be generally west of a cul-de-sac road that runs along the east edge of the plat within the easement corridors. Proposed Lots 1 and 3 and 5 to 8 will run north to south along the west edge of the cul-de-sac. Proposed Lot 1 would be a corner lot. Proposed Lot 2 would be located along 19th west of Proposed Lot 1. Proposed Lot 4 would be an interior lot accessed along the south side of Proposed Lot 3. 14. Proposed Lots 9 and 10 would be south of Proposed Lot 8 and have access from the cul-de-sac via a 26- foot easement across the eastern edge of Lot 8. Proposed Lots 11 to 16 would be located along or near the western property line. Access to Proposed Lots 12 to 16 would be via an easement along the western boundary of the plat that ends in a hammerhead turnaround. 15. Proposed Lot 11 would take its access via a west branch off the access easement serving Lots 9 and 10. ., ' It would run along the south edge of Proposed Lot 8. Allan Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-06-016, ECF, PP,CAR, V-H November 14,2006 Page 7 16. Staff and this office both determined that the applicant's plans did not provide the appropriate or required setbacks from roads and easement roads. Proposed Lot 16 needs street setbacks along both its north and west margins. Building envelopes do not provide the correct open space for Proposed Lots 8, 9 and, at least, 13 and 14 and possibly to a lesser extent Proposed Lot 7. It appears that Proposed Lots 8 and 9 would be substantially crowded by the need to increase the setbacks to match City requirements. In addition,the proposed narrow and angular access easement proposed to Proposed Lot 11 appears severely constrained. 17. Staff noted that there had been some discussion of providing access to Proposed Lot 11 more directly from the cul-de-sac. Staff indicated that the plat would still meet density requirements if the number of lots were reduced to 15 to allow more direct access to Proposed Lot 11. 18. Staff noted that Proposed Lots 11 to 16 also contain sensitive slopes and erosion control measures will be necessary when doing work on the plat. 19. The two tracts would be created to encompass the native growth and creek areas(Tract A)and for the utility corridor easements(Tract B). 20. The City has determined that it will take over ownership of the lines that cross the critical areas if the variance is granted since a variance for intrusion across the Critical Areas is only available to public agencies and not private parties. 21. The density for the plat would be 7.6 dwelling units per acre after subtracting sensitive areas and 'Ayre roadways. 22. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate approximately 6 school age children. These students would be spread across the grades and would be assigned on a space available basis. 23. The development will increase traffic approximately 10 trips per unit or approximately 160 trips for the 16 single-family homes. Approximately ten percent of the trips, or approximately 16 additional peak hour trips will be generated in the morning and evening. 24. Stormwater flows across the site and runs down the natural slopes toward Honey Creek. Stormwater is generally routed to its natural basin which would mean Honey Creek but it must be treated or cleaned to prevent pollutants from entering the creek. Stormwater will be treated in a wet vault on a tract located at the western edge of the plat and then released to the creek. Sewer is available in 19th Street and along Honey Creek. 25. As noted above,both Honey Creek and steep slopes are located on the subject site. Those two adjacent and contiguous areas take up the south one-third to one-half of the property. They will be set aside as Native Growth Protection areas. There is a sewer line in 19th but the site or much of it would be below that grade. The other sewer line is located along Honey Creek. The issue is that the sewer line is located below the slope. The same conditions apply to stormwater that would naturally run to the creek down the slopes. Utility lines are not permitted on Protected Slopes. The applicant has requested a Variance to allow the sewer line and stormwater pipe to be located on a protected slope. An exemption from the critical areas requirements has also been requested and approved to allow the stormwater pipe to be located in the stream buffer. The method of placing the lines down the slope have not been determined. They may be hand-trenched,placed along the surface or a tunnel may be bored or a • Allan Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-06-016, ECF,PP,CAR,V-H November 14, 2006 Page 8 Ned combination of strategies could be employed. The City noted that a pump or lift station for this relatively small plat is probably not appropriate or cost-effective. 26. Water will be provided by the City. CONCLUSIONS: Critical Areas Variance 1. A variance may be used to locate certain necessary infrastructure in critical areas. "Special Review Criteria" must be evaluated before granting a variance to locate such infrastructure in critical areas containing protected slopes,wetlands,geologic hazard areas,etc. Public/Quasi-Public Utility or Agency Altering Aquifer Protection,Geologic Hazard,Habitat,or Wetland Regulations: In lieu of the variance criteria of subsection B5 of this Section, applications by public/quasi-public utilities or agencies proposing to alter aquifer protection,geologic hazard,habitat, stream and lake or wetland regulations shall be reviewed for compliance with all of the following criteria: a. Public policies have been evaluated and it has been determined by the Department Administrator that the public's health, safety, and welfare is best served; b. Each facility must conform to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and with any adopted public programs and policies; c. Each facility must serve established,identified public needs; d. No practical alternative exists to meet the needs; e. The proposed action takes affirmative and appropriate measures to minimize and compensate ,4000, for unavoidable impacts; f. The proposed activity results in no net loss of regulated wetland area, value,or function in the drainage basin where the wetland is located; g. The proposed activities will not jeopardize the continued existence of endangered,threatened or sensitive species as listed by the Federal government or the State; h. That the proposed activities will not cause significant degradation of groundwater or surface water quality; and i. The approval as determined by the Hearing Examiner is a minimum variance that will accomplish the desired purpose. (Ord. 4835, 3-27-2000; Amd. Ord. 4851, 8-7-2000) The applicant's property is ripe for the variance requested but only if the City will own the utility lines that will be located on the steep slope. 2. The site naturally drains its stormwater over the edge of the slope to Honey Creek. Allowing that to continue after the site is developed would probably lead to excessive erosion and potentially slope failure. At the same time, stormwater should be channeled to its natural drainage destination. Staff has indicated that a sewer lift station for this plat would not be cost effective either for construction or maintenance. It would appear reasonable that both utilities be permitted to cross the slope but only if proper maintenance can be assured. Private ownership would not guarantee appropriate long-term maintenance. That is probably why a variance is only available to a public agency. 3. The development of the subject site is permitted under both the Zoning Code and the comprehensive plan. 4. Whether the development of the subject site is appropriate is clearly a judgment call when the development requires facilities that intrude into very sensitive areas. In this case not only does the Allan Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-06-016, ECF,PP,CAR,V-H November 14,2006 Page 9 rr.r development require two pipelines down Protected Slopes but an exemption to allow those lines to cross the required sensitive area creek setbacks. The City will be accepting ownership of the stormwater line to accomplish its development. 5. There does not seem to be any practical alternative for the stormwater line. The natural outfall would be the creek. Staff has indicated that a sewer lift station does not appear appropriate for this development. 6. The applicant and staff have agreed to explore construction methods to minimize disruption of the slope and rehabilitation of disturbed areas. The City will be responsible for all aspects of its development and maintenance. 7. The applicant will be complying with erosion control measures and water quality measures so the creek and buffers should not be adversely affected by the lines. 8. No wildlife appears to be in jeopardy as a result of this proposal. 9. The proposed lines shall comply with appropriate building standards and grading and slope standards and as noted, both County and State water quality and erosion standards. 10. The does not appear to be many options if the property is to be reasonably developed(see plat discussion below). 11. The choice of locations and methods of construction shall be in accord with best practices. The matter was reopened to allow the applicant to better define the plat,access arrangements and building setback envelopes. The applicant submitted a new plat map with explanatory materials and staff reviewed those materials. Staff recommended that the revised and clarified plat be approved. Preliminary Plat 1. The proposed plat appears to generally serve the public use and interest. While the applicant did refine the plat, it is clear that ekeing out the most lots may meet legal requirements but certainly leads to some adequate but less than desirable lots. Be that as it may, the subject site does present the applicant with some constraints including powerline and pipeline easements and steep slope limitations. The proposed plat works around and with those constraints. 2. The plat does create new lots in an area with appropriate urban services or an area where they can be provided. The development does depend on the City acquiring ownership of utility lines that will extend down and across protected slope areas. The variance depends on the City's acquisition of the utility lines. 3. The new lots will provide additional housing opportunities for detached single-family home ownership. The development will increase the tax base of the City although there will be an increased demand on other City services. The ERC imposed mitigation measures that will help offset the impacts on transportation, parks or emergency services. 4. As noted in the first review of this plat,this office needs assurance on who will be responsible for constructing,monitoring construction and ownership of the utility lines that will cross the Protected Slopes. That is this office needs to know the mechanism for conveying and accepting ownership of the • Allan Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-06-016, ECF,PP,CAR,V-H November 14,2006 Page 10 utility lines for this project that cross the steep slopes as the variance is issued to the utility and not the underlying applicant. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council should approve the Preliminary Plat subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall comply with all requirements of the Determination of Non-Significance-Mitigated that were issued by the Environmental Review Committee on August 7, 2006. 2. A demolition permit shall be obtained and all inspections completed on the demolition of the existing residences prior to final plat approval. 3. Either a revised landscape plan shall be submitted showing alternative shrub species within the clear vision area that would not exceed a height of 3 feet and showing an alternate species to replace the Berberis thu. 'Crimson Pygmy'or additional information shall be provided to staff indicating that the proposed species would comply with the City's requirements. The revised landscape plan or additional information shall be submitted with the utility construction permit application to the Development Services Division project manager for review and approval 4. The applicant shall be required to place "No Parking" signage along the private access easements prior to final plat approval. 5. A homeowners'association shall be created concurrently with the recording of the final plat in order to ,41000 establish maintenance responsibilities for shared roadway, stormwater and utility improvements. A draft of the document(s)shall be submitted to the City of Renton Development Services Division for review and approval by the City Attorney and Property Services section prior to the recording of the final plat. 6. The proposed sensitive area tract(Tract A)shall be delineated with a split rail fence and identified with signage as approved by the Development Services Division Project Manager. A fencing and signage detail shall be submitted to the Development Services Division project manager at the time of Utility Construction Permit for review and approval and that such fencing and signage shall be installed prior to the recording of the final plat. 7. A trail easement within Tract A shall be dedicated to the City of Renton Parks Department for the Honey Creek Trail. The easement shall be required to be dedicated prior to or concurrently with the recording of the final plat. 8. As noted in the first review of this plat,this office needs assurance on who will be responsible for constructing, monitoring construction and ownership of the utility lines that will cross the Protected Slopes. That is this office needs to know the mechanism for conveying and accepting ownership of the utility lines for this project that cross the steep slopes as the variance is issued to the utility and not the underlying applicant. • Allan Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-06-016,ECF,PP, CAR, V-H November 14,2006 Page 11 ORDERED THIS 14th day of November 2006.

You may contact this office for information on formatting covenants. The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte(private one-on-one)communications may occur concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council. All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court. The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all requests for Reconsideration as well as Appeals to the City Council. :��• I?.

Currently,there is a two-three month backlog to obtain an academy position. As an example, I recently offered two entry-level officers conditional offer of employment based on successfully passing the psychological and medical exam. The next available academy date is January 10, 2007 with a graduation date of May 17, 2007. The two officers would enter the three-month FTO Program and would be able to be on their own in the middle of August of 2007. In-state lateral officers are not required to attend the Basic Academy, and upon hire Ned would immediately be placed in the FTO Program. This program would be an accelerated program that would range from six to twelve weeks in duration based on the skill level of the officer. The lateral officer will be able to respond to calls for service on their own in a period of six to twelve weeks from the date of hire. Out of state lateral officers would enter the same six to twelve week FTO Program,plus they would be required to attend a two-week equivalency academy to become certified in the State of Washington. The"signing bonus"would be a structured payment. The lateral officer would receive $2,500 upon hiring,and an additional $2,500 upon completing their 12-month probation. Memorandum of Understanding by and between The City of Renton and the Commissioned Employees of the Renton Police Officers' Guild The ability to hire experienced police officers is the most effective way to decrease the amount of time between the hiring date and the date when the officer is available to respond to calls-for-service on their own. The market place for lateral police officers is becoming very competitive with several agencies offering a "signing bonus" in an effort to attract experienced officers. In an effort to maximize staffing, the following changes to the collective bargaining agreement have been mutually agreed upon based on available funds. Compensation 1. Newly hired lateral police officers defined by the Civil Service rules will receive a five thousand dollar ($5,000) "Hiring Bonus". 2. The bonus pay will be distributed in two equal payments. One payment upon the first scheduled city payday for the new lateral officer, and the second upon the completion of the 12-month probationary period. 3. Current officers may receive a five hundred dollar ($500) bonus for the 16"rw' successful hiring of a lateral officer, if the officer was responsible for recruiting the lateral officer.

Should the Council authorize proposed Change Order 1 to modify the existing construction contract with Sanders General Construction to perform additional work necessary to complete the project but not originally part of the scope of work, extending the completion date by 21 working days, and increasing the construction contract cost by$157,132.51, from $1,655,345.54 to a new total of$1,812,478.05? RECOMMENDATION: 1. Transfer$430,000 from 2007 Duvall Avenue NE— SR 900 to North City Limits Project. 2. Authorize proposed Change Order 1 to modify the existing construction contract with Sanders General Construction to perform additional work, extending the completion date by 21 working days, and increasing the construction contract cost by$157,132.51. BACKGROUND: On February 6, 2006, the City Council authorized the Mayor and City Clerk to award 4100, construction contract CAG 05-165 in the amount of$1,655,345.54 to Sanders General Construction Company for the NE Sunset Boulevard(SR 900)/Duvall Avenue NE Intersection Improvements Project. Although this contract is primarily for Transportation funded improvements(including a federal grant), it also includes water main and wastewater sewer Toni Nelson,Council President Members of the Renton City Council Page 2 of 4 January 22,2007 improvements to be funded by the Water and Wastewater Utilities enterprise funds respectively. The utility projects were included in the contract to minimize disruption to the public by having the streets opened up only once rather than several times consecutively. Sanders' bid of $1,655,345.54 breaks down as follows: Transportation Funded Improvements $ 1,261,551.56 Water Main Improvements 91,315.84 Wastewater Improvements 302,478.14 Total Bid: $ 1,655,345.54 At the same time the Council voted to provide $1,561,669 in Transportation funding to cover construction costs as follows: $ 1,261,552 Construction Contract(Transportation portion-Alternate A) +126,155 10% Contingency +173,962 Construction administration/inspection/material testing/staff time $ 1,561,669 Total Approved for Construction $ 1,561,700 Total 2006 Amended Budget $ 142,837 Pre-2006 Expenditures (design and construction) $ 1,704,537 Total Project Budget through 2006 ,4004 Progress on the contract is now almost complete. The Water and Wastewater Utilities funded portions have been completed within their allotted budgets. However, it has become apparent that the Transportation funded portion costs will reach $1,991,700,plus $142,837 pre-2006 costs (design and construction) for a total project estimate at completion of$2,134,537, which exceeds the total project budget by$430,000, for the following reasons: Net overruns in bid quantities - $152,000. Of particular note: Gravel Backfill for Trench, $83,000 -the estimate (contract bid quantity) was based on the assumption that native material could be used as backfill in most locations, but in the field it was determined that the native material was generally unsuitable for re-use as backfill so a great deal of material had to be imported. Structural Excavation Class B Inc. Haul, $17,000 - the estimate (contract bid quantity) was low,though not nearly so significantly as for gravel backfill. Most of this work has been completed,with quantity totaling 3,000 CY versus the contract bid estimate of 2,200 CY. HMA CL '/2-inch(Asphalt), $53,000 -the estimate (contract bid quantity) was low primarily because the design consultant did not calculate quantities for utilities trench patching in pavement or pre-leveling. Total quantity was 3,100 tons versus the contract bid estimate of 2,300 tons. (Other offsetting net underruns bring the total down to $152,000) h:\division.s\transpor.tat\design.eng\jwilhoit\duvall\hes is\construction\revsunset duvall is incr award issue paper.doc Toni Nelson,Council President Members of the Renton City Council Page 3 of 4 January 22,2007 Additional force account costs due to numerous utility conflicts - $70,000 for either resolving, or"potholing"to avoid, utility conflicts.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Over the past six years, the City has participated with King County and the other Component Sewer Agencies on a study of infiltration/inflow(I/I) within each agency's system. This began with flow monitoring in 2000 and 2001, and culminated into a final report that was adopted by the King County Council in May 2006. The final report recommended that the county, in partnership with the Component Agencies, pursue what are termed "initial" I/I reduction projects. The report included a list of nine potential projects that meet the criterion established by the county and Component Agencies. The criterion ensures only infiltration/inflow projects that have costs equal to, or less than, the county identified infrastructure improvement project budget are eligible for consideration. These projects will remove a level of I/I within the Component Agency system such that the volume of flow reduced is equivalent, or greater than, what is needed for increased capacity improvements identified with the King Nifty County portion of the system. Utilities Cooperation Agreement with King County January 9,2007 Page 2 of 2 The county has set aside $25 million to complete an initial I/I reduction project. The NNIS current estimated cost for all nine projects is over$72 million; thus, the county and Component Agencies reduced the list of nine down to four projects estimated at $28 million. These four projects will be evaluated to better define costs and scope of work needed to remove the infiltration and inflow. This work will include field investigation such as smoke testing, TV'ing of sewer lines and side sewers, and inspection of manholes. All work will be coordinated with City staff to assure that local issues are addressed. King County will fully pay for all costs associated with this project, other than our anticipated Staff costs. Once this work is completed, the program will evaluate the four projects to determine which will proceed into the construction phase. If the Renton portion of the project proceeds into construction, the county would manage this construction project,with significant coordination with the City. The portion of the system in Renton to be evaluated is located in the southern portion of our service area. It includes the areas bounded by SR 167 to the west, South 55th Street to the south,Mill Avenue to the east, and South 36th Street to the north. This general area includes Valley Medical Center(VMC) and adjacent medical offices, the multi-family complexes along Talbot Road South, south of VMC, and pockets of residential areas north and east of VMC. The total estimated cost of the improvements within the Renton portion of the system, including engineering, is currently estimated at $2.2 million. Although most of the improvements will be within the private portion of the system, the City Wastewater Utility benefits include capacity restraints relief due to reduced infiltration/inflow levels and improvements to portions of our older infrastructure. This portion of our local system also has capacity issues within our interceptor that will benefit from the reduced volume through the reduction of I/I flows. CONCLUSION: King County is looking to partner with Renton to allow for improvements within Renton's portion of its system to reduce infiltration/inflow. By performing improvements in our portion of the system, the county will benefit by not having to upsize its South Renton Interceptor. The City will benefit by capacity restraints relief to our system and interceptor due to reduced infiltration/inflow levels, and by improvements to portions of our systems' older infrastructure. cc: Lys Hornsby,Utility Systems Director W:\WWP-03-0000 Correspondence-Wastewater\davec\King County Utility Coop Agree Issue.doc\DCmd DRAFT UTILITIES COOPERATION AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN CITY OF RENTON AND KING COUNTY FOR INITIAL INFILTRATION/INFLOW REDUCTION PROJECT THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this day of , 2006, between the City of Renton, a municipality in the State of Washington, (hereinafter, "the City"), and King County, a home rule charter county in the State of Washington, acting through its Department of Natural Resources and Parks (hereinafter, "the County"or"DNRP").

There is a strong interest in having the new manager join the City before Karl's retirement. Christopher Barnes is a professional engineer with an exceptionally broad and deep traffic engineering experience. His 30 years of expertise would be a singular opportunity for the City. Mr. Barnes has requested a starting salary at Step E of pay grade m33 ($89,508/yr.) and relocation reimbursement up to $5,000 (he is currently in Texas). Mr. Barnes would be required to reimburse the City for relocation expenses if he leaves sooner than two years. The additional cost of this can be absorbed through Fund 003 salary savings (at least one position will have had a full month's salary savings already).

BACKGROUND: This position will become vacant with the retirement of Karl Hamilton on March 31, 2007. There is a strong interest in having the new manager join the City before Karl's retirement. Christopher Barnes is a professional engineer with an exceptionally broad and deep traffic engineering experience. His 30 years of expertise would be a singular opportunity for the City.

Since I have worked in transportation for city, county and state agencies, and coordinated project development with Federal agencies and other governmental officials, I have a good understanding of the workings of each of these types of organizations. I have experienced the complexities of coordinating with planning, project development, operations and maintenance of traffic and transportation projects. I have been involved and participated in many functions related to addressing the needs of the public, which involved holding many public meetings. I have had good working relations with governmental officials representing city, county, state and federal political bodies during the past thirty years in my various positions. During my career, I have prided myself in working cooperatively and in supervisory roles with many people of various cultural, ethnic and national backgrounds. I have directly managed staffs representing professional, clerical,technical and labor classifications. I believe that I can perform and fulfill the duties of this highly significant position. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss my qualifications to satisfy your requirements for this position. Having worked and lived in Washington State, my family and I can really appreciate its beauty, environment and quality of life. Sincerely, Chris M.
