APPEAL: Planning& Development Committee Report re: Puget Colony 1 and 2 Short Plats INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council,feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court, has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council,while sitting as an appellate body,is acting as a quasi-judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code,and by State law,the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning& Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence,and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning&Development Committee,the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However,this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick,easy,inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 6.

May 14,2007 Renton City Council Minutes Page 168 SPECIAL PRESENTATION Parks Director Betlach and Transportation Planning and Programming Community Services: Trails Supervisor Seitz reported on the Renton Trails and Bicycle Master Plan, a joint and Bicycle Master Plan effort of the Transportation Systems Division and the Parks Division. Mr. Seitz explained that in 2005, State law was amended to include requirements for local governments to incorporate bicycle and pedestrian planning into each comprehensive plan. He noted that Renton is the hub of three major trails: Cedar River Trail, Lake Washington Loop, and Interurban Trail, and that the Transportation Systems Division was awarded a$100,000 federal grant to create a bicycle route map. Ms. Betlach reviewed the goals of the master plan, which include interconnecting neighborhoods and local destinations, creating a safe and convenient network that provides local and regional connectivity, encouraging healthy lifestyles, and encouraging alternate modes of transportation. Mr. Seitz listed the master plan objectives, including identifying local and regional destinations in a trail and bicycle network, inventorying and evaluating existing trails and bicycle routes, identifying connections to major destinations, identifying preferred network of routes, identifying safety issues, developing methodology to prioritize improvements, and ensuring accommodation of a wide variety of users and trip purposes. Continuing, Mr. Seitz and Ms. Betlach reviewed the master plan outcomes and Ms. Betlach reviewed the public outreach plan, which includes public open houses, Council briefings, and meetings with the Renton Non-Motorized Transportation Advisory Committee and the Park Board. Ms. Betlach noted that the final presentation to Council and the adoption of the Trails and Bicycle Master Plan is proposed for January 2008. APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Briere presented a report Planning& Development regarding the appeal of the Puget Colony Homes 1 and 2 short plats. Applicant Committee John Skochdopole of Conner Homes submitted two short plat applications for Appeal: Puget Colony Homes Puget Colony Homes. Puget Colony 2 Short Plat, SHP-06-146, was heard 1 &2 Short Plats, Cook, SHP- before the Hearing Examiner as it involved the subdivision of five lots for the 06-146 & SHP-06-147 future construction of single-family homes. Puget Colony 1 Short Plat, SHP- 06-147, was submitted to City of Renton's Department of Planning/Building/Public Works as it involved less than five lots. The Hearing Examiner approved the plat and issued his decision on 1/18/2007. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Zimmerman also approved the smaller plat application in his report on 1/25/2007. Appellants Frank and Karen Cook appealed both these decisions. Because both matters involved identical parties and issues, other than the respective lot sizes, the matters were consolidated. The Committee heard both matters on 5/10/2007. The subject property is located in the Puget Colony area in the 4900 block of SE 2nd Pl. in Renton. This area was annexed into the City in December 2005, with R-8 zoning. In December 2006, the City of Renton rezoned this area to R-4. Prior to the R-4 zoning taking effect, applicant Conner Homes vested their plat application to the R-8 zoning. At the plat application hearing held before the Hearing Examiner on 1/9/2007, the issue of a covenant was presented before the Hearing Examiner. City staff investigated the covenant and the City Attorney found no evidence to conclude that it was a public covenant. There was no evidence shown to contradict this conclusion and therefore the Hearing Examiner determined that it was a private covenant, and as such,unenforceable by the City. The Hearing Examiner thus lacked jurisdiction to consider the private covenant for purposes of the plat hearing. • May 14,2007 Renton City Council Minutes Page 169 Pursuant to City Code 4-8-110F(5) and(6),the Committee's decision and recommendation is limited to the record, which consists of, but is not limited to the Hearing Examiner's report, the notice of appeal, and the submissions by the parties. The Committee heard the presentation by City staff and argument by attorney for the appellants and attorney for the applicants. After reviewing the record, the submissions by the parties and having heard oral argument, the Committee hereby found and recommended as follows: appellant's attorney conceded that the applicant had vested to the R-8 zone and that the covenant was likely a private covenant. Based on the evidence presented before the Committee, the Committee found no basis to determine that the Hearing Examiner made a substantial error in fact or law. Therefore, the Committee recommended that the City Council find that the Hearing Examiner did not make any substantial error in fact or law in approving both plat applications. The Committee further recommended that the City Council affirm the decisions of the Hearing Examiner. MOVED BY BRIERS, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.

Mr. McOmber recommended the elimination of dark, dangerous trail areas, and the establishment of wheel chair-friendly and mobility scooter-friendly trails. Citizen Comment: Doyle- Charles Doyle,411 5th Ave. S., Renton, 98057, introduced himself as the Political Campaigning director of the Highlands Community Association's candidate search committee. Mr. Doyle indicated that he has talked to a number of people who are interested May 14,2007 Renton City Council Minutes Page 170 in City government but do not have the time to do the work needed to be elected to Council.

Citizen Comment: Payson - Sandy Payson, Senior Vice President of Advertising of King County Official Newspaper Publications, Ltd. dba Renton Reporter, 600 Washington Ave. S., Kent, 98032, requested review of the Administration's recommendation to designate The Seattle Times as the City's official newspaper.

City Clerk: Official Newspaper Council President Pro Tem Law indicated that he has a number of questions regarding this item, including the lower bid amount from the Renton Reporter and the circulation figures.

MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL REFER ITEM 8.b. TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. CARRIED. May 14, 2007 Renton City Council Minutes Page 171 Separate Consideration Economic Development, Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning Department Item 8.f. recommended approval of a memorandum of understanding with Highline EDNSP: Small Business Community College, Renton Technical College, and Renton Chamber of Development Center, Highline Commerce regarding development of a Small Business Development Center in Community College& Renton Renton.

Chamber of Commerce Councilmember Persson stated that the Small Business Development Center is a great idea. He pointed out that Council offered enough budget flexibility when the 2007 Budget was adopted that a special appropriation for the $25,000 expenditure is not necessary. Mr. Persson relayed that the Finance Administrator agreed and said that if later in the year the department needs another$25,000, Council can review the matter at that time.

This action could result in some reprioritization, and if the department is not able to complete its 2007 work program as a result, he noted that it appears as though Council will be amenable to staff coming back and requesting a budget appropriation. *MOTION CARRIED.

LUA 06-146 SHPL-H & LUA 06-4. 7 SHPL-A Referred February 26, 2007 & May 7, 2007 Applicant John Skochdopole/Conner Homes submitted two short plat applications for Puget Colony Homes. Puget Colony 2 Short Plat, LUA 06-146, SHPL-H was heard before the Hearing Examiner as it involved the subdivision of five lots for the future construction of single family homes. Puget Colony 1 Short Plat, LUA 06-147, SHPL-A was submitted to the City of Renton's Department of PBPW as it involved less than five lots. The Hearing Examiner approved the plat and issued his decision on January 18, 2007. PBPW Administrator Zimmerman also approved the smaller plat application in his report on January 25, 2007. Appellants Frank and Karen Cook appealed both these decisions. Because both matters involved identical parties and issues, other than the respective lot sizes, the matters were consolidated. The Planning and Development Committee ("Committee") heard both matters on May 10, 2007. The subject property is located in the Puget Colony area in the 4900 block of SE 2nd Place in Renton, WA. This area was annexed into the City of Renton in December, 2005, with an R8 zoning. In December, 2006, the City of Renton rezoned this area to an R4. Prior to the R4 zoning taking effect, Applicant Conner Homes vested their plat application to the R8 zoning. At the plat application hearing held before the Hearing Examiner on January 9, 2007, the issue of a covenant was presented before the Examiner. The City Staff investigated the covenant and the City Attorney found no evidence to conclude that it was a public covenant. There was no evidence shown to contradict this conclusion and therefore, the Hearing Examiner determined that it was a private covenant, and as such, unenforceable by the City. The Hearing Examiner thus, lacked jurisdiction to consider the private covenant for purposes of the plat hearing. Pursuant to RMC 4-8-110F(5) and (6), the Committee's decision and recommendation is limited to the record, which consists of, but is not limited to the Hearing Examiner's Report, the Notice of Appeal and the Submissions by the Parties. The Committee heard the presentation by City Staff and argument by attorney for Appellants and attorney for Applicants. After reviewing the record, the submissions by the parties and having heard oral argument, the Planning and Development Committee hereby finds and recommends as follows: Appellant's attorney conceded that the Applicant had vested to the R8 zone and that the covenant was likely a private covenant. Based on the evidence presented before the Committee, the Committee found no basis to determine that the Hearing Examiner made a substantial error in fact or law. Planning and Development Committee Report Page 2 Therefore, the Committee recommends that the City Council find that the Hearing Examiner did not make any substantial error in fact or law in approving both plat applications. And, the Committee recommends that the City Council affirm the decisions of the Hearing Examiner. \\)64/k le• . , .

RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Development Services Division permission to fill the new Code Compliance Inspector position(Grade A19) at Step E of the salary schedule. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The Planning/Building/Public Works Department requests authorization to fill the new Code Compliance Inspector position(Grade A19) at Step E of the salary schedule. City policy(300-41)requires that Council approve the filling of vacant positions at salary ranges above Step C. This request is needed to allow the Development Services Division the ability to offer a more competitive salary to the selected qualified applicant. The Development Services Division would like to offer this position to a highly qualified candidate, who is currently listed on the City's eligibility list for this position. The Development Services Division believes that based on her qualified experience and expertise, this candidate will be a significant asset to the City. The qualified applicant will have to take a significant pay cut to accept the Code Compliance Inspector position at its current opening salary, Step C of the salary schedule. The candidate has indicated that she will accept his position if the City will offer a higher salary within the established salary schedule of the position. The Code Compliance Inspector salary range is $51,264 per year(Step A) to $62,484 per year(Step E). h:\division.s\develop.ser\dev&plan.ing\jth\issue papers\code comp inspector.doc 4 City Council Members Page 2 of 2 May 4,2007 The qualified applicant is currently a Code Compliance Inspector with the City of 4000 SeaTac, and will bring 15 years of experience as a Code Compliance Inspector. During the interview process, this candidate impressed the selection team with her positive can- do attitude, innovative ideas, knowledge and demeanor. She has also served on the Board of Directors for W.A.C.E., the Washington Association of Code Enforcement as Treasurer. By accepting the Code Compliance position with City of Renton at Grade A19, Step C,the candidate would take a reduction in pay, vacation and other benefits. The ability to offer this candidate the Code Compliance Inspector position at Grade A19, Step E, would help to offset the pay and benefits package that the candidate would give up in leaving her current employment in order to join City of Renton.

The proposed 285- acre annexation site is located in Renton's Potential Annexation Area immediately east of Maplewood Addition Annexation that came into the City in January. It is bounded on the north by the Renton—Maple Valley Highway and on the east by the Urban Growth Boundary.

EDNSP/PAA/Annexations/Maplewood East/agnbill/de CITY OF RENTON Nr.. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS AND �� STRATEGIC PLANNING n— i MEMORANDUM NT DATE: May 4, 2007 TO: Toni Nelson, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: !,Kathy Keolker, Mayor FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator STAFF CONTACT: Don Erickson, Senior Planner(x6581) SUBJECT: Proposed New Life -Aqua Barn Annexation 10% Notice of Intent ISSUE: The City is in receipt of a 10%Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings petition for approximately 285 acres of what was previously the expanded area of the Maplewood Addition Annexation(Exhibit 1). State law requires that the Council holds a public meeting with annexation proponents within 60-days of receipt of the 10%Notice of Intent petition in order to decide whether it wishes to accept, reject, or geographically modify the proposal, and if it accepts, whether to require that property owners assume a proportionate share of the City's bonded indebtedness, and whether to require the simultaneous adoption of city zoning. RECOMMENDATION: On the basis of the following analysis, the Administration recommends that Council accept the 10%Notice of Intent petition for this annexation. If Council concurs, the Administration recommends that it also take the following actions (pursuant to RCW 35A.14.120): • Authorize the circulation of the 60% Direct Petition to Annex for the+285-acre area and • Require that property owners within the proposed annexation area assume a proportional share of the City's outstanding indebtedness, and accept zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, upon annexation. 0.r Proposed New Life—Aqua Barn Annexation 10%Notice of Intent t ' May 7, 2007 Page 2 BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The proposed New Life - Aqua Barn Annexation site was previously considered for annexation as part of the expanded Maplewood Addition Annexation. The current site is immediately east of the former 65-acre Maplewood Addition Annexation that came into the City in January 2007. 1. Location: The proposed +285-acre, irregularly shaped,New Life - Aqua Barn Annexation is located along the south side of the Renton—Maple Valley Highway(SR- 169). The western half is across the highway from the Maplewood Golf Course and Ron Regis Park and the eastern half is across from a peninsula of rurally designated King County that runs along the Cedar River Corridor. Its western boundary is the Cedar River and new City boundary. Its eastern boundary is the Urban Growth Boundary, and its southern boundary includes the edge of the slopes that define the valley floor. The Elliott Farms and Maplewood Estates subdivisions are not included in this proposed annexation. 2. Assessed value: The 2006 assessed valuation for the subject annexation site, at current development, is estimated as $115,441,600. 3. Natural features: The majority of the proposed annexation area is flat or has moderate slopes. However, the southerly portions have steeper slopes and in places, these exceed 40%, as one rises above the Cedar River Valley floor(see Exhibit 2, Topography). 4. Existing land uses: Existing development includes a variety of residential types and densities from single-family detached dwellings and mobile homes to condominiums and apartments. 5. Existing zoning: King County designates most of the area Urban Residential, medium, 4- 12 du/acre. County zoning includes a small area of R-4, with the remainder R-6, R-12, and a small area of Neighborhood Business (NB). 6. Comprehensive Plan: Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject annexation area as primarily Residential Low Density(RLD), with a small area of Residential Multi- Family(RMD), and an even smaller area of Commercial Corridor(CC). King County's Comprehensive Plan includes a number of designations ranging from Greenbelt/Urban Separator to Urban Residential—Medium, to a small amount of Neighborhood Business Center. 7. Public services: All responding departments and divisions noted that the annexation represents a logical extension of their respective services and systems. Specific comments follow: Water Utility. The subject area is within the water service area of the Cedar River Water and Sewer District, by agreement under the East King County Coordinated Water System Plan. A certificate of water availability from the District will be required prior to the issuance of development permits within the subject area, following annexation to the City. Hydrant flow test and hydraulic analysis of the District's system should also be required for new development within the annexation area. The District must provide Proposed New Life—Aqua Barn Annexation 10%Notice of Intent May 7, 2007 Page 3 N— adequate water supply and pressure for new development within the City and must meet Renton's standards for fire protection and domestic water service. Sewers. The area is currently served by the Cedar River Water and Sewer District. The City may wish to evaluate the franchise with Cedar River Water and Sewer District as it affects this area. Parks. The City has a shortfall of neighborhood parkland in this area. Although the nearest public park, Ron Regis Park, is located across SR-169 to the north, there are insufficient neighborhood parks nearby to serve the area. Although across the street to the north, both Ron Regis Park and the County's Cedar River Park are considered to be community rather than neighborhood parks. The projected prorated cost of developing parkland for future development within the annexation site, to a level consistent with the service levels in the City's Comprehensive Plan Park, Recreation, Open Space, and Trail Element, is an estimated $301,586. This one time estimated cost is above the estimated$56,722 the City would receive from collecting its Parks Mitigation Fee, based upon the development of an estimated 160 new multi-family units. Fire. The area is currently served by Fire Districts #25 and#40. The area between the eastern edge of the former Maplewood Addition Annexation site and 144th Avenue SE, if extended, is served by District#40 with the remaining area served by District#25. Renton currently provides fire suppression services to the District#25 under contract. Upon annexation, the City would continue to provide fire prevention and suppression Now services for the former District#25 portion and take over service from District#40 for the remaining area. Police. With an estimated future population of approximately 1,614 people for this annexation, the Police Department states that there will eventually be a need for additional officers to serve this and other recent annexations. Police estimate there will be an average number of calls for service equal to one for each of the 1,614 residents living within the annexation area. Surface Water. Staff notes that the area is currently served by relatively few storm water systems and generally lacks drainage infrastructure. For the most part, the proposed annexation lacks drainage facilities such as curbs and gutters and approximately half of the streets in the area lack drainage ditches or storm drain sewers. The lack of drainage facilities in much of the New Life–Aqua Barn Annexation area could result in drainage complaints and the need for new capital improvements. Transportation. Staff notes that WSDOT is currently conducting a Corridor Study of the Renton- Maple Valley Highway to identify long-range transportation improvement options for the SR-169 Corridor. Options being looked at include widening SR-169 between I-405 and SE 196th Avenue SE, one lane in each direction. Existing streets serving the area typically do not meet City standards in terms of pavement thickness, curbs and gutters, and street lighting. Upon annexation, the City would assume Now ownership of three traffic signals along the highway. One or two of these may have to be upgraded to conform to City of Renton standards. Proposed New Life—Aqua Barn Annexation 10%Notice of Intent May 7, 2007 Page 4 ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION: 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: Renton's Comprehensive Plan annexation policies generally support this proposed annexation. The subject site is within the City's Potential Annexation Area and has been substantially developed under the King County Comprehensive Plan, zoning and subdivision regulations (Policies LU-36 and LU-37). Renton is the logical provider of a number of urban infrastructure and services to the area(Policy LU-38). Policy LU-43.1 states that, in general, the greater the contiguity with the city limits, the more favorable the annexation. The area proposed for annexation abuts the City limits along its western boundary and a portion of its northern boundaries. This represents approximately 40%of its perimeter. Also, the proposed annexation does not divide existing established neighborhoods (Policy LU-43.4). 2. Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives: (from RCW 36.93.180) a. Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities; The proposed annexation would cause no disruption to the larger community. Separate neighborhoods such as Elliott Farms and Maplewood Estates are not included, but potentially could be if a majority of residents wished this and Council agrees to extend the boundaries. b. Use of physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water, highways, and land contours; Boundaries follow existing city boundaries, topography, and the Urban Growth Boundary. c. Creation and preservation of logical service areas; Water and sewer service boundaries will not change. Neither will School District boundaries. As noted above, Renton will take over fire service from Districts #25 and#40 upon annexation. Pursuant to state law, there will be no change in the garbage service provider for at least seven years. d. Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries; The new city boundary resulting from this annexation would be somewhat irregular reflecting topography and existing patterns of development along the Cedar River Valley floor. The area to the south has previously been proposed for incorporation as a new city. e. Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and encouragement of incorporations of cities in excess of ten thousand population in heavily populated urban areas; Not applicable. No incorporations are currently proposed for this annexation area. f Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts; Proposed New Life—Aqua Barn Annexation 10%Notice of Intent May 7, 2007 Page 5 *use Not applicable. There are no inactive special purpose districts here. g. Adjustment of impractical boundaries; This annexation is not being proposed to'adjust what are considered impractical boundaries. h. Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities or towns of unincorporated areas which are urban in character, King County has designated this area for urban development because of its location within the Urban Growth Boundary. The County has also indicated that it wants to divest itself from providing urban services to unincorporated urban areas such as this by turning them over to cities. Because the subject site is within Renton's designated PAA, annexation is appropriate. i. Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long term productive agricultural and resource use by a comprehensive plan adopted by the county legislative authority. Not applicable. No portions of the proposed annexation area are rural or designated for long term productive agricultural use in the King County or Renton Comprehensive Plans. 3. A fiscal analysis for the proposed annexation is attached. This analysis indicates that the Nose proposed annexation would initially result in a surplus to the City of approximately $34,900 a year; however, at full development with an estimated 160 new condominium units, it could cost the City$14,082 a year. Sales tax from future commercial retail on an undeveloped portion of the site, however, is expected of offset this. There is an estimated one-time pro-rated cost to the City of$301,586 for park acquisition and development, based on the estimated 1,614 people living here. CONCLUSION: The proposed New Life- Aqua Barn Annexation is essentially consistent with relevant County and City annexation policies, as well as Boundary Review Board objectives for annexation. Reviewing staff has identified no impediments to the provision of City services to the area.

Background RCW 36.70A.470 provides that when a deficiency in a Comprehensive Plan or Development Regulation is identified during project review, a jurisdiction is required to "docket" the item for consideration during an annual review process. This section of state law also requires jurisdictions to include a procedure in Development Regulations for any interested person including citizens, applicants, and staff to suggest plan or Development Regulation amendments. The City of Renton codified this process in RMC 4-9-025,Title IV Development Regulation Revision Process. This section sets forth the process for review of the annual "docket" and requires a summary report with recommendations about a schedule and/or consent to begin work on proposed items by May 1 each year. 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, implements administrative determinations, and initiates several new policy/code review projects. The compiled list of amendments includes 30 housekeeping amendments that have no policy or substantive content, 27 proposed amendments that have minor policy implications or make a non-policy substantive change, and 19 amendments that involve a larger policy based work program. This work program includes only three applications h:\ednsp\title iv\docket\2006 docket issue paper.doc Toni Nelson Page 2 of 2 April 30,2007 from private parties, and City staff initiated the remainder. The private applications are all in the minor policy category. The private applications include a request to consider , 4100 allowing a towing business in additional zones (06-15: Lee), a request to create an R-6 zone in the City(06-17: Cowan), and a request to exempt man-made slopes from net density calculations (06-46: Halinen). It is recommended that the housekeeping and small policy issues be reviewed and the private application from Lee (06-15) and Cowan (06-17) be reviewed in 2007. The private application from Halinen (06-46) is recommended to be reviewed in 2008. Of the major policy work programs, the landscaping and street tree issues were the top priority for the Development Services Division and it is recommended that these issues be prioritized for review in 2007. The other items recommended for review in 2007 include topics started in prior years but set aside in deference to other issues. Several of the large work program items will need to be held for additional review and development with the Development Services Division prior to initiation of work.

E. Sunset Blvd., #5 Renton, WA 98059 (425) 255-5545 Office (425) 255-5581 Fax Neil Watts, My name is Lee Ibsen and I am the owner of Lee's Towing Service L.L.C.. My Company has been in business since 1999, however my family has been in the industry since 1946. My grandfather, Gerald Ibsen started Ibsen Towing in early 1946 in Bellevue and the company has thrived ever since. Over the years we have seen many changes in our industry, however many companies seem to stay in the dark ages as far as the impounding and storage of vehicles are concerned. I am requesting some text revisions to the city code as far as allowing towing companies to operate in a clean and presentable manner. However this process is very lengthy and I fear my company would have to move or close before it could be completed. I am requesting these changes first and for most because I do not want to move or close my business. When I started my company I worked from my home in an unincorporated area just east of the Renton Highlands. As my company grew, the vast majority of my business came from Renton,as such I advertised as being in Renton and acquired a city business license. My company grew fairly rapidly and I earned a reputation in Renton so the only logical thing to do was to find a facility in the city. As I started to explore my options in Renton I found there were very few for my type of business. The properties that were available were much too large and expensive, and the property owners also were unwilling to divide up the property into affordable sizes. After running into this issue I went to see the zoning offices for the cities of Renton, Kent, Issaquah, Bellevue, Kirkland, and New Castle and found that Renton and Kent were very different from the other cities in that Renton and Kent required tow operations to be located on heavy industrial property. However Bellevue and Kirkland said they required tow operations to be on land zoned automotive/ wherehouse and automotive/retail and also included IM-IH-IL as options. Issaquah told us we could go just about any where in their city as long as we gave them a business/development proposal. Newcastle NG said any where commercial/wherehouse. I found these responses a little disappointing as the city I want to be in seems to have no room for my type of operation, and seems to be out of step with other Eastside Communities. I love operating in Renton, I like the people and the promising growth and redevelopment the city has made in recent years. I do not want to stunt that growth but would rather be a part of it. I feel that my proposal would not only help me but also help Renton as a whole. Maybe if other tow operators see what I'm doing and or not doing, maybe they will follow suit. Tow Trucks are very visible and we travel all over the county, for that matter the state and proudly displayed on the side of our trucks is our city of origin. So in essence I feel we sort of represent our city. Shouldn't we have pride in our equipment and drivers? All I would like is to have a chance to show the towing and recovery industry that the sixties are gone. It's time to change with the times and move out of the dark ages and into the 21St century. Other cities on the Eastside have already made changes and have been benefiting from it and I would like to bring these changes to Renton. Attached to this letter is the text revisions I propose, or I would like to at least obtain a temporary variance under the proposed conditions. I would also like to thank you for reading my letter and hope you have a wonderful summer. Thank you. Sincerely, `wee Ibsen Owner Lee's Towing Service, LLC City Code Text Revision Proposal Tow in lots must be located on heavy industrial property and conform to RCW 46.55. Tow in lots/impound facilities will be allowed in areas zoned IM-IL-CA only if the following requirements are met. Without exception. Vehicle storage must be contained in side of a building and on a sealed concrete floor completely out of public view. No storage of vehicles may be permitted out side for any reason. Property must be kept clean with no debris around building. No heavy duty(class C)towing or tow trucks will be permitted on the premises. No trucks to exceed 26,000 gross vehicle weight. The following safety and environmental steps will be taken and enforced in addition to city, state and federal requirements with out exceptions. Fire extinguishers will be mounted in plain view in a conspicuous manner and be kept in good condition, up to specifications set forth by Renton City Fire Officials and are to be NIS placed in locations current with city of Renton fire code. Emergency spill absorbent will be kept on hand inside the facility easily accessible. All used absorbent will be contained and removed by only a state authorized disposer of hazardous materials, further more records of such disposal will be kept on hand by tow operator. Any and all floor drains in side the facility will be sealed to prevent contaminants from entering the sewage system. If drains are not to be sealed they must flow into approved oil/water separation system and or a fluid storage tank pursuant with all city, state and federal requirements. A fluid spill of any size must be cleaned and or contained immediately with out exception. All other storage requirements will be met pursuant to the Washington State patrol and under RCW 46.55. The facility will be inspected by the Washington State Patrol and the city of Renton and must be approved by both agencies. A record of such inspection will be kept with the patrol as well as the city and be posted prominently in the office of tow operation. g. Y , ç \i \ CITY OF ;NTON • a Planning/Building/PublicWorks Department ,� ', - Kathy Keolker,Mayor Gregg Zimmerman P.E.,Administrator Nisill Lee Ibsen Lee's Towing Service 4200 NE Sunset Blvd,#5 Renton, WA 98059 August 21, 2006 SUBJECT: Code Changes Requested to Allow Towing Operations Dear Mr. Ibsen, I received your letter(date stamped August 111h) in which you request changes to the Renton Municipal Code regarding zones where towing companies can legally operate. Specifically, you have asked that towing companies be allowed to operate in areas zoned other than industrial, subject to certain standards. A copy of the requested changes accompanied your letter. You note that other cities such as Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah and Newcastle allow towing operations to locate on land zoned for automotive warehouse,automotive retail,and commercial warehouse. You also request a temporary variance that would allow you to commence operation of a towing company in a zone where it is not currently allowed. The City's Zoning Use Table contained in Renton Municipal Code Section 4-2-060J shows that a tow truck operation/auto impound yard is permitted in the IH(Industrial Heavy) zone, and is 'ftill allowed only with a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use permit in portions of the IM (Industrial Medium)zone. Tow truck operations are not allowed in other zones in the City of Renton. The process for changing the City Code requires the submission of a completed form to the Economic Development, Neighborhoods, and Strategic Planning Department. A copy of this form is enclosed for your use. You may wish to attach your proposed code language and submit the package to Rebecca Lind, Strategic Planning Manager. You have also requested a temporary Variance that would allow you to operate while the Code changes are being considered. Unfortunately, there is no variance for"use". Neither would a Temporary Use Permit be appropriate. When a temporary use permit is granted, it can allow certain uses subject to modified development standards. This permit is intended for temporary events such as carnivals, or mobile food vendors, not for a towing operation. Therefore, your only relief from the regulations would be through a change in the Zoning Code. I encourage you to consider locating your towing operation in areas as allowed per the IM and IH zones. Please feel free to contact Laureen Nicolay at(425)430-7294 if you have questions regarding a particular site.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: The Parks Maintenance Worker III position was approved in Ordinance 5245, which modified the 2007 budget. At the time Ordinance 5245 was approved, the classification description and salary were still under review. The City and Union have reached agreement on the classification as a Lead Parks Maintenance Worker because of the added responsibility this position presents coordinating volunteer projects and supervising volunteers and other Parks Division staff. The amount budgeted includes incidentals such as vehicle and equipment costs for a new employee. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve a reclass of the Lead Parks Maintenance Worker position at Grade 16 Step A (a monthly salary of$3,971 - $4,834)with no additional 2007 budget appropriations required.

The position was approved in Ordinance 5245 as a Parks Maintenance Worker III; however, after review of the job scope of work with the Union, the Lead position is being recommended. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Lead Parks Maintenance Worker position. BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 5245 increased the 2007 budget for various funds, and increased the total number of positions in 2007 and the City's reserves. One (1)position was approved in the ordinance for the Community Services/Parks Division for a Parks Maintenance Worker III budgeted at $100,000. The amount is to cover salary, vehicle, training, and equipment expenses. Following approval for a Parks Maintenance Worker III position in the 2007 Budget, City staff from Human Resources and Community Services met and discussed the new position and its classification. Because the position allocates much of the work with volunteer groups, including coordination of projects and supervision of City staff and volunteers, it was determined the position would need to be filled at the Lead position classification. The City and Union met to discuss this option and approved the Lead position classification over the Parks Maintenance Worker III. Hiring at the Lead classification will not result in any increases in the 2007 budget because of savings realized in filling the new position relatively late in the year. A difference of$4,908.00 per year ($204.50 per pay period) exists between a Lead and a Parks Maintenance Worker III at Step C.

Additionally, should the City of Renton sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Highline Community College, Renton Technical College, and the Renton Chamber of Commerce, for the provision of these services through December 31, 2009? RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of a $25,000 expenditure and authorization to sign the Memorandum of Understanding for the Development of the Renton Small Business Development Center. BACKGROUND: Approximately 85 percent of Renton's businesses have ten or less employees and on a national scale, the 25 million small businesses across the country employ more than half of the nation's private workforce, generate more than half of the country's Gross Domestic Product, and are the principal source of new jobs in the US economy. The City's economic development efforts have not typically involved extensive outreach or support to small business. The Renton Small Business Development Center May 7, 2007 Page Two development of a Renton-based Small Business Development Center(SBDC) in Renton could ,44210° help address that gap. The US Small Business Administration has managed the national SBDC program since it was founded in 1980. In Washington State, Washington State University has been the host of the program since it was founded. In King County, SBDCs are currently established at Bellevue Community College, Green River Community College, and Highline Community College. The Renton SBDC will provide one-on-one, confidential assistance to individuals, small businesses and other entrepreneurs, at no charge, regarding starting, purchasing, or selling a business; choosing and incorporating new technology; financial management; business plan development; market plan development; and business research. Additionally, the SBDC would provide access to business resources such as research, access to lenders and financing prospects, as well as workshops, seminars and other training opportunities. The approach of SBDCs is to offer one-stop assistance by providing a wide-variety of up-to-date information and guidance in central and easily accessible branch locations. The Renton SBDC would be administered through a contract with Highline Community College, which currently runs similar and successful SBDC programs for Federal Way as well as the Southwest King County Economic Development Initiative, which includes the cities of Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, SeaTac, Tukwila, the Port of Seattle, Highline Community College, and King County. Highline Community College has offered to provide services for at a rate of$73,493 per year, which includes .5 FTE for the consulting services of a Certified Business Advisor, administration and supervision, supplies, and materials. To finance the Renton SBDC, RTC has agreed to contribute $25,000 (in addition to office space and administrative support), the Chamber has agreed to contribute $10,000, Frontier Bank has agreed to contribute $5,000, and First Savings Bank of Renton has agreed to contribute$8,000. It is hoped that state and federal funding could be obtained for ongoing funding of the Center. The SBDC would initially open in donated space at Renton Technical College but the goal is to eventually house it in downtown Renton. Efforts are currently underway to find a downtown location. The partnership would like to open the facility by July 1.
