PROCLAMATION A proclamation by Mayor Keolker was read declaring the day of February 13,
Boeing 737 Day-2/13/2006 2006, to be "Boeing 737 Day" in the City of Renton, encouraging all citizens to
recognize the important contributions The Boeing Company and its employees
have made and continue to make to the City of Renton. MOVED BY LAW,
SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE
PROCLAMATION AS READ. CARRIED.
The Mayor noted that she attended a special ceremony today, which celebrated
Boeing's delivery of the 5,000th 737 airplane to Southwest Airlines. Carolyn
A. Brandsema,Director of Engineering, 737/757 Programs Boeing Commercial
Airplanes, accepted the proclamation on behalf of all the men and women at
Boeing who have worked over the years to make the 737 the most popular
commercial jetliner in the history of the world.
PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Annexation: Aster Park, accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker opened the public
Sunset Blvd NE meeting to consider the 10%Notice of Intent petition for the proposed Aster
Park Annexation; 19.85 acres, including the SR-900 right-of-way, located along
the south side of Sunset Blvd. NE(SR-900), west of 148th Ave. SE, north of
SE 112th St., if extended, and east of 144th Ave. SE, if extended.
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that existing development on the site
includes the six-acre Fir Grove Mobile Home Park, two single-family
dwellings, and a new 37-lot subdivision that is currently being built. The
topography of the site is relatively flat. In regards to the public services,Mr.
Erickson noted that Fire District#10,Water District#90,Renton sewer,and the
Issaquah School District serve the area.
Mr. Erickson reported that current King County zoning is R-4 for the eastern
portion of the site, and R-48 for the western portion. The Renton
Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Residential Low Density, which
allows R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre) zoning. He stated that the fiscal
impact analysis estimates a deficit of$8,707 at current development, a surplus
of$23,892 at full development, and a one-time parks development cost of
$27,724.

In conclusion, Mr. Erickson said the proposed annexation furthers the City
business goals, and is generally consistent with Boundary Review Board
objectives and City policies.
In response to Councilwoman Nelson's inquiry, Mr. Erickson and City Attorney
Larry Warren indicated that they do not know what the owners of the mobile
home park property plan to do with the property.
Public comment was invited.
Claudia Donnelly, 10415 147th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, voiced concern
regarding surface water runoff from the Aster Park area through her yard to
May Creek. She noted that annexation area boundaries are often expanded,and
expressed concern that her neighborhood will become part of this annexation.
Emphasizing that she wants the opportunity to express her opinion regarding
annexation to Renton via the ballot box, Ms. Donnelly requested that her
neighborhood,the Aster Park annexation area, and the rest of the King County
area participate in the Preserve Our Plateau Annexation election.
Jullianne Bruce, 17100 SE 136th St., Renton, 98059,expressed her concern
regarding surface water runoff from the increase in impervious surfaces due to
development. She stated her desire that the area remain rural, and that the
annexation be taken to a vote and not forced upon residents who may not want
to annex to Renton. Ms. Bruce also commented that the lifestyles of affected
residents are being compromised if it is true that in order to obtain mass
transportation funding, urban areas must grow and rural areas must shrink.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY BRIERE,

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Annexation: Preserve Our accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public hearing
Plateau, SE 128th St to consider the 10% Notice of Intent to annex petition by the election method
for the proposed Preserve Our Plateau Annexation; approximately 1,475 acres
located in the vicinity of SE 128th St., SE 149th St., 152nd Ave. SE, and 184th
Ave. SE.
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that approximately 1,630 single-family
dwellings exist on this diverse site, and the annexation proposal is in
compliance with Boundary Review Board objectives and with relevant City
annexation policies. Reviewing the public services, he noted that the site is
served by Fire Districts#25 and#10, Water District#90, Renton Sewer,and the
Renton and Issaquah School Districts.
Mr. Erickson reported that State law requires Council to adopt a resolution
either calling for an election, or disapproving the annexation. If Council calls
for an election, decisions must be made as to whether or not to include
propositions on the ballot regarding future zoning and bonded indebtedness.
He explained that despite the projected initial deficit of up to$263,000 and the
February 13,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 36
need to hire as many as 22 new employees, staff recommends placing the
annexation proposal on the ballot. Mr.Erickson pointed out that there are
major efficiencies to be gained from annexing a larger area at one time that are
not realized with smaller annexations.
Continuing, Mr. Erickson indicated that staff is recommending against asking
residents to vote on future zoning at this time since the area has not yet been
prezoned. He noted that staff intends to hold at least two public hearings on
future zoning this summer. Additionally, staff is recommending that the
proposition on outstanding indebtedness not be included on the ballot.
Retirement of the City's outstanding debt is expected in 2009, and the amount
that would be collected from the annexation area is estimated at$62,285. Mr.
Erickson stated that if the assumption of the City's outstanding indebtedness is
placed on the ballot, the measure would trigger a super majority approval
requirement, and would require voter turnout of at least 40% of the total votes
cast in the last general election.
Regarding Fire District#25, Mr. Erickson noted that the subject annexation
area to be served by Renton would remove only 51% of the district's current
assessed value; therefore, the district would continue to exist.
Mr. Erickson pointed out that if the voters approve the annexation, it is likely to
be six months to a year before it is effectuated. He explained that the City and
King County will need to enter into various interlocal agreements regarding the
transference of county-owned facilities and county services. Mr. Erickson
noted that the Mayor will establish a blue ribbon advisory committee comprised
of residents and service providers to help with the transition.
Turning to the existing moratorium on sewer availabilities for new subdivisions
within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area, Mr. Erickson
reported that the moratorium expires prior to a possible annexation effective
date. Council will need to decide whether to extend the moratorium, or allow
development occurring prior to the effective date to vest to King County
standards.
Mr. Erickson stated that the following will likely happen if the annexation fails:
1) As the designated sewer provider for this area, the City has already issued
over 250 sewer certificates; 2) The existing moratorium will be lifted and new
certificates will be issued based upon the City's Comprehensive Plan
Residential Low Density land use designation; 3) Future development will
continue under King County development regulations; and 4) The existing
level of service will continue to decline, based upon King County statements.
Concluding that that the annexation proposal serves the best interests and
general welfare of the City,Mr. Erickson pointed out that the anticipated initial
deficit may be offset with a positive cash flow by the time of full development
in ten to fifteen years.
Alex Pietsch, Economic Development Administrator, discussed the King
County 2004 Annexation Initiative, which calls for annexation by 2012 of most
of King County's remaining unincorporated urban areas. The initiative set aside
a$10 million fund to assist communities in offsetting some of the negative
financial impacts. He reported that the King County executive has expressed
his desire to enter into an interlocal agreement that asks Renton to accept the
county parks and stormwater properties in the subject area, and to consider
hiring county employees. In return, King County agrees to pay Renton$1.15
February 13,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 37
million in real estate excise tax, which is required to be used for infrastructure,
and$600,000 in CX funds. Mr. Pietsch noted that the City has requested that
half be paid upon a successful election, and half upon effectuation of the
annexation.
In response to Councilmember inquiries,Mr. Pietsch stated that the CX funds
could potentially be used to purchase police cars. He indicated that issues
concerning stormwater facilities maintenance costs and park improvements will
be discussed in the coming months. Mayor Keolker pointed out that these are
the types of issues that will be discussed by the blue ribbon advisory
committee.
Public comment was invited.
Shirley Day, 14412 167th Pl. SE,Renton, 98059,questioned how the
annexation area's boundaries were determined, and submitted a letter signed by
78 residents who do not want to be annexed to Renton. She expressed her
disappointment with the petitioner's approach to establishing the boundaries,
and stated her desire for a hearing with the Boundary Review Board.
Gwendolyn High, 13405 158th Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, introduced herself as
the president of CARE(Citizens'Alliance for a Responsible Evendell) and the
treasurer of the CARE Annexation Committee who is the petitioner of the
annexation. Ms. High expressed her happiness with the City's efforts so far
with the subject area, including the land use designation and forthcoming tree
retention ordinance. She indicated that she is looking forward to working with
the City on the annexation process.
Claudia Donnelly, 10415 147th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, spoke on behalf of her
mother, Roxanne Reynolds, 13016 156th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, who does
not want to annex to Renton. Ms. Donnelly stated that she has been in contact
with many residents in the area who do not want to be a part of Renton,and had
been left out of CARE's process for boundary establishment. Ms. Donnelly
requested that the City ask the Boundary Review Board to review the proposed
annexation with a public hearing,and that the annexation area be expanded so
all East Renton Plateau area residents can vote on the matter. Additionally she
questioned how the City will pay for the new employees and services.
Fred Herber,Bennett Development, 12011 NE 1st St., Bellevue, 98005,
expressed his disappointment concerning the possible extension of the sewer
moratorium until after the annexation vote, which is anticipated to occur in the
fall. Emphasizing that time delays cost developers and ultimately homeowners,
Mr. Bennett requested that the moratorium not be extended when it expires in
June.
Jullianne Bruce, 17100 SE 136th St., Renton, 98059, voiced concern about the
increase in water runoff due to the increase in impervious surfaces, noting that
sensitive areas are especially affected by development. She also stressed the
importance of having area residents on the blue ribbon advisory committee.
Responding to Ms. Bruce's comment regarding the bonded indebtedness issue,
Mayor Keolker clarified that the recommendation not to include the issue on
the ballot means that area residents are not going to pay for it.
Mayor Keolker stated that the City is not seeking this annexation but is
responding to a request. However, she indicated that if residents want to come
into the City they are welcome. The Mayor pointed out that if the area remains
February 13,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 38
in King County, the existing zoning allows denser development than is allowed
in Renton.
Royden Miser, 13505 166th Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, pointed out that the King
County Sheriffs Office has done an outstanding job of preventing crime at
Liberty High School. Reporting that a police officer is assigned to the school
full time, he inquired if that will continue if the area is annexed to Renton.
Additionally, since the school is within the Issaquah School District, Mr. Miser
inquired as to the taxing for the school districts.
Mayor Keolker said the school district boundaries remain the same, and Mr.
Miser will continue to be taxed for only the Issaquah School District. The
Renton Police Department will serve the area, and enforcement arrangements
will be discussed with the school district. She noted that Renton currently has
school resource officers.
Jack Case, 16445 SE 135th St., Renton, 98059, inquired if Renton has a critical
areas ordinance, noted the presence of beavers in a pond in the annexation area,
and inquired if a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling regarding eminent domain
will affect his six lots. City Attorney Larry Warren indicated that the court
ruling has little or no applicability to the State of Washington. He assured that
Renton's critical areas ordinance is much easier to understand and comply with
than King County's ordinance.
Robert LeCoque, 12916 166th Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, noted that he lives near
the aforementioned beaver pond, or Cemetery Pond, which is located between
164th and 166th Avenues SE, off of SE 128th St. He reported that this semi-
natural occurring pond was modified when King County started creating
controlled runoff collection ponds. Mr.LeCoque pointed out the problems with
the pond,and stated that he is interested to see how Renton will approach on-
going maintenance and correction of existing problems.

Council President Corman stated that he was impressed by the questions asked
by the speakers, and pointed out that he does not want to change the character
of the area. In response to a previous speaker's comment, he noted that adding
more density does not result in the set-aside of more funding for mass
transportation. Acknowledging that many issues and interests are involved,Mr.
Corman indicated that if annexed,the area and its issues will be under local
control, which may be advantageous to residents in terms of easier access to
government and those more familiar with the area. He expressed his happiness
that the matter is going to a vote.

Councilman Clawson emphasized that development will be less dense if the
area is annexed to Renton than if it remains in King County,and the area will
receive the same level of serve as the rest of the City.
*MOTION CARRIED. (See page 40 for resolution.)
Mayor Keolker recommended that citizens direct any questions they may have
concerning the annexation to the City of Renton.
ADMINISTRATIVE Linda Herzog, Interim Assistant to the CAO, reviewed a written administrative
REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work
programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2006 and beyond. Items noted

recognition of the United State's bicentennial.
* An auto theft prevention program is being offered by the Renton Police
Department. Combined with locking doors,rolling up windows,and
removing all personal belonging from vehicles, a steering wheel locking

ASTER PARK ANNEXATION PUBLIC MEETING
10% Notice of Intent Petition
February 13, 2006
On December 23r1, 2005 the City received a 10%Notice of Intent petition from property owners
in the proposed annexation area. After sending this to the County Department of Assessments
the City received notification from the County that the petition had been certified on January 11,
2006 as having signatures representing at least 10% of the area's assessed value. Pursuant to
state law, the City is required to meet with the proponents of the proposed annexation within 60
days of receipt of the 10%Notice of Intent petition. Tonight's meeting falls within that time
period. The City Council is being asked to either accept the annexation as proposed, accept it
but with modified boundaries, or reject it. The Administration has reviewed this proposed
annexation and is recommending that Council accept it as proposed.
The proposed 16.58-acre site is located in Renton's Potential Annexation Area, along the south
side of Sunset Boulevard SE, west of 148th Avenue SE. The site includes the 6.0-acre, 32 space,
Fir Grove Mobile Home Park on its western portion and the Aster Park subdivision on its eastern
nine areas. Two parcels with single-family detached dwellings remain in the southeastern corner
of the site. The site currently has both King County's R-4 and R-48 zoning on it. The western
portion, which contains a mobile home park, has the R-48 zoning, and the eastern portion of the
site has R-4 zoning. The City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this area
Residential Low Density and it would most likely come into the City as R-4, which allows 4
units per net acre. This is less dense than the County zoning. The County's R-48 zoning
apparently was an attempt to reflect the mobile home park density, even though these units are
much smaller than a traditional single-family dwelling unit. The County's R-4 zone is based
upon units per gross acre and bonuses up to six units per gross acre, which is closer to Renton's
R-8 zone in terms of density. The eastern portion of the site is currently being developed under
King County development standards and has 37 units. This is equal to a density of 4 units per
gross acre. City reviewing depaitruents have raised no major objections to this annexation.
The Administration is therefore recommending that Council:
• Accept the 10% Notice of Intent petition for the 19.85-acre Aster Park Annexation and
authorize circulation of a 60% Direct Petition to Annex with the following provisions:
1) That property owners accept the City's simultaneous adoption of zoning regulations
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's land use designations for the subject
property; and
2) Assume their proportional share of the City's pre-existing bonded indebtedness (less
than 8 center per each$1,000 of assessed value).

PRESERVE OUR PLATEAU ANNEXATION PUBLIC HEARING
COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED 1,475-ACRE ANNEXATION
February 13, 2006
The City is in receipt of a Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Petition from registered
voters in the proposed annexation area representing more than 10% of the area's estimated 3,200
registered voters. King County Records, Elections and Licensing Services Division certified the
sufficiency of this petition on December 29, 2005.
Under state law the City is required to adopt a resolution within 60 days of certification of the
petition either rejecting the proposed annexation, or approving it and calling for an election. If it
calls for an election the ballot must put forth the proposition whether voters are for or against
annexation to the City of Renton. The Council must also decide whether it wants the ballot to
contain the proposition of whether voters would be asked to assume their proportionate share of
the City's outstanding indebtedness which is currently assessed at about $0.08 per each$1,000 of
assessed property value. The Council must also decide whether it wants the ballot to contain a
proposition on future zoning. The Administration is recommending against asking residents to
vote on future zoning at this time since the subject area has not yet been prezoned. The City
anticipates holding public hearings in the community during the summer.
The Administration is also recommending that the proposition on outstanding indebtedness not
be included on the ballot because the amount that would actually be collected from the area
appears to be $80,000 or less, and the outstanding dept (senior housing bonds) is expected to be
retired in early 2009. As a result, if Council concurs with the Administration's
recommendations, the ballot would only ask voters whether they wished to be annexed to the
City of Renton or not. Given the amount of time to required to get an annexation of this type on
the ballot, staff are anticipating an election sometime in the fall of 2006.
In considering this petition driven annexation the City has decided that residents would receive
the same level of service it provides other City residents. Consultant studies indicate that the
City would also need to hire additional personnel to do this. The anticipates approximately 25
new employees, including police, fire, public works, etc. to provide this same level of service it
provides residents elsewhere in the City. Even with this higher level of service, analysis
indicates that most property owners within the annexation area would pay less for property taxes
and services than they now do as residents of unincorporated King County. This is true even
though the City, unlike the County, collects a 6%utility tax.

without requiring simultaneous adoption of zoning or assumption of bonded indebtedness
based on the following information and policies:
1) Fiscal analysis indicates that the City will experience a negative fiscal impact in
the near term, but anticipated growth will generate revenues to support services to
the entire East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area(PAA) over time.
Annexation of this portion of the PAA is a first step to eventual annexation of the
entire area.
2) The proposal is consistent with Renton Comprehensive Plan annexation policies.
3) The proposal is consistent with Boundary Review Board (BRB) criteria.
4) The proposal is consistent with Countywide Planning Policies.
5) The City's current bond for the Housing Terrace Senior Housing will be retired in
2009. The amount of revenue that would be generated by the annexation area is
relatively small, amounting to $62,285. Including this requirement on the ballot
would trigger a 60%voter approval standard.
6) The decision on zoning is more reasonably decided by the City Council after
prezoning public hearings and community input on this issue. That decision
would be made prior to the annexation election.

BACKGROUND:
On November 15, 2005, the City received a 10%Notice of Intent to Commence
Annexation Proceedings petition from annexation proponents calling upon the Council to
hold a public meeting on the issue of annexation. The Notice of Intent petition
specifically asks the Council to decide:
• whether the City will accept or reject the proposed annexation,
• whether it wishes to ask voters to consider the simultaneous adoption of proposed
zoning, and
• whether it wishes to ask voters to consider paying all or any portion of the City's
outstanding indebtedness or incurred prior to or existing at the date of annexation.
King County Elections and Records certified the 10%Notice of Intent petition, submitted
with more than 390 signatures and needing 320 signatures of registered voters to be valid,
on December 19, 2005. Under State law, the City is required to adopt a resolution, within
60 days of certification of the petition,notifying petitioners of its approval or rejection of
their call for an election on the issue of annexation. The proposed public hearing on
February 13, 2006 is within the mandated 60-day period called for under state law.
If the Council agrees to call for an election,the City will pay for the cost. The Council
cannot change the boundaries as it would with an annexation using the assessed valuation
method, although the Boundary Review Board can modify boundaries during that portion
of the review process. If the Council were to decide not to support this annexation it
would have to do so by resolution.
Renton Comprehensive Plan Compliance:
Staff believes that the proposed POPA is in compliance with relevant City annexation
policies, specifically Policy LU-36, Availability of infrastructure; Policy LU-37,
Contiguous land available for urbanization; Policy LU-38,Future improvements to City
services; and Policy LU-42, Environmental quality and urban separators. It is also
consistent with Countywide Planning Policy LU-32, Providing for annexation within
potential annexation areas. The text of these policies and rationale for compliance with
each is provided (see Attachment 2, Comprehensive Plan Annexation Policies and
Countywide Planning Policies).
Boundary Review Board Objectives:
The 1,475-acre annexation area is within Renton's PAA and complies with relevant
Boundary Review Board objectives. It has reasonable boundaries,preserves natural
neighborhoods and communities, creates and preserves logical service areas, and
provides for annexation of unincorporated areas, which are urban in character. In this
case, the Urban Growth Boundary defines over three-fourths of the area's boundary. The
proposed annexation also includes existing neighborhoods without splitting them. Areas
where current annexations are underway were excluded as was the Maplewood Heights
Addition and the Maplewood Subdivision south of SE 138th Street. Based upon this,
staff believes that the proposed 1,475-acre annexation is generally consistent with
relevant Boundary Review Board objectives.

; February 13,2006
Outstanding Indebtedness:
The City's only outstanding bonded indebtedness is for the senior housing bond for
Houser Terrace. Retirement of this bond is expected in 2009. The City currently collects
0.7861 cents per$1,000 of assessed valuation to pay off this voter approved bond. The
estimated cost to the City, if it were to assume the amount that would normally be
collected from residents of the 1,475-acre annexation area, is estimated to be $62,285. If
the Council chooses to require assumption of the debt, the average household would pay
approximately$27 per year from the effective date of annexation to 2009.
If the Council chooses to put the assumption of the City's outstanding bonded
indebtedness on the ballot, the measure triggers a super majority(60%) approval
requirement, rather than the normal 50+%. It also requires voter turnout of at least 40%
of the total votes cast in the last preceding general election.
The issue of bonded indebtedness can either be combined with the question of
annexation, or presented separately. If combined with the annexation question, it also
raises the bar for annexation approval to the super majority.

TOTAL $62,285
Zoning:
State law gives annexing cities using the election method the authority to place the issue
of zoning on the ballot. Council must decide whether or not it wishes to place this on
ballot at this time, or wait for the area to be prezoned, following public hearings, and then
apply the zoning upon the effective date of an annexation.
Renton's Comprehensive Plan was amended in November 2004 to create a policy basis
for low-density residential use in this area. Zoning could be either R-4 with a maximum
density of four units per net acre, R-1 zoning in areas that have pervasive environmental
constraints or are urban separators, or Resource Conservation.
Staff recommends that prezoning be completed this summer prior to a fall election.
Prezoning will require at least two public hearings and a recommendation will be
prepared with specific mapping of R-4, R-1, or Resource Conservation areas. The
Administration is recommending that this issue not be placed on the ballot. If the
h:\ednsp\paa\annexations\preserve our plateau\issue paper.doc
Randy Corman,Council Pre .nt
Page 4 of 4
February 13,2006 •
election fails,the pre-zoning will still be in place and zoning could be applied later during
any future 60% annexation petition process.
Additional issues:
The POPA raises several additional issues that Council does not need to take action on at
this time. Separate handouts are provided on these topics for Council information. These
issues will be brought back to Council for direction as more information is prepared
about service provision and the timing of a possible transition.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed 1,475-acre annexation appears to comply with relevant BRB objectives
including reasonable boundaries, logical service areas, coherent neighborhoods, and the
annexation of areas that are urban in character. It also appears to comply with relevant
City Comprehensive Plan annexation policies. While there may be a negative fiscal
impact immediately upon annexation, at full development, it appears that the annexation
area will have a positive cash flow. There are efficiencies to be gained from annexing a
larger area such as this since zoning,transference of service responsibilities, calculation
of estimated fiscal impacts, staffing, and governance issues can be handled in a more
coherent manner than the same area being annexed incrementally over 10 or 12 years.
The Administration therefore recommends that resident voters within the proposed 1,475-
acre Preserve Our Plateau Annexation should be allowed to vote on whether they wish to
come into the City at this time as part of a larger annexation,remain in unincorporated
King County, or continue to be annexed incrementally through development driven
annexations.

ATTACHMENT 2
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANNEXATION POLICIES:
The proposed annexation also is supported by a number the annexation policies in the
City's Comprehensive Plan. These include the following policies:
Policy LU-36. Encourage annexation where the availability of infrastructure and
services allow for the development of urban densities. Renton should be the primary
service provider of urban infrastructure and public services in its Potential Annexation
area,provided that the City can offer such services in an efficient and cost-effective
manner.
Because Renton is the designated sewer service provider for the area and currently
provides fire services under contract to Fire District 25,which serves most of the area,
Renton continues to be the logical service provider for the proposed 1,475-acre
annexation area. It is anticipated that Renton will be able to provide these and other
services such as road maintenance, surface water management, and parks and recreation
in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Policy LU-37. The highest priority areas for annexation to the City of Renton should be
those contiguous with the boundaries of the City such as:
1) Lands that are available for urbanization under county comprehensive plan,
zoning, and subdivision regulations; and
2) Developed areas where Renton is able to provide basic urban services and
local governance to an existing population.
The subject 1,475-acre annexation site is contiguous to the City's boundary along
portions of its westerly and northern boundary. A majority of its boundary is defined by
the Urban Growth Area boundary(virtually everything west of 156th Avenue SE). The
subject area is available for urbanization under County policies,zoning, and development
regulations and would continue to be under Renton's Comprehensive Plan policies,
zoning and development regulations.
Policy LU-38. Support annexations that would result in future improvements to City
services or eliminate duplication by service providers. Services include water, sanitary
sewer, storm water drainage, utility drainage basins, transportation,park and open
space, library, and public safety.
The City is the designated sewer service provider for this area and currently issues
certificates of sewer availability to County residents. King County is currently
negotiating with the City regarding the transference of County parklands if the
annexation is successful. The City would develop these as parks and open space. Upon
annexation the City would also take over from Fire District 25 those areas within its
portion of the annexation area. Since the City currently provides fire prevention and
H:\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\Preserve Our Plateau\Issue Paper Att 2.doc
ATTACHMENT 2
suppression services to the area under contract with Fire District 25, there should be no
noticeable change in service for residents.
Policy LU-42. Support annexations of lower density areas where it would protect
natural resources or provide urban separator areas.
The proposed annexation includes everything east of 156th Avenue SE to the Urban
Growth Area boundary. Renton's proposed zoning is more consistent with existing
levels of development and would do more to protect existing treed areas than County
zoning. The City is also looking at the possibility of lower density R-1 zoning in the
more environmentally sensitive areas east of 176th Avenue SE.
COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICIES:
Policy LU-32. A city may annex territory only within its designated potential annexation
area. All cities shall phase annexations to coincide with the ability for the city to
coordinate the provision of a full range of urban services to areas to be annexed.
H:\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\Preserve Our Plateau\lssue Paper Att 2.doc
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Administration is recommending the establishment of a special blue ribbon Advisory
Committee, appointed by the Mayor and comprised of representatives from the
community and potentially service providers including the Issaquah School District,
Waster District 90, and Fire District 25. Representation from these agencies will either
be included on the Advisory Committee or provided via a separate technical group. It is
anticipated that the Advisory Committee work with staff to form recommendations for
land use, transportation, and other issues within the annexation boundaries. The
Committee is envisioned as working during the pre-election period and during transition,
if the election is successful.
The City has already worked with residents of the East Renton Plateau portion of our
PAA over the last few years in amending our Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map
designation and Residential Low Density land use policies. The City also worked with
King County and the Unincorporated Area Council last fall to prepare for several
community meetings held in the area.
H:\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\Preserve Our Plateau\Issue Paper Advisory Committee.doc
EFFECTUATION TIMING
When would the City actually effectuate the annexation assuming voters approve it?
Transition of services from King County to Renton will require hiring of staff to assume
the responsibilities for police, parks, land use permitting, and street maintenance. In
addition, a special census for the area is required.
The County has made a first offer of transition funding in the form of$1.15 million in
REET together with$600,000 CX funds, half of which would be paid upon certification
of the election, and half upon the effective date of the annexation. The County has a
stated desire to see this area transition as soon as possible. A later effective date might
change the negotiation over this transition funding.
The City is currently evaluating an effective date of August 2007,however, this issue will
be brought back to the City Council for a decision when more information is available
about the transition process.
H:\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\Preserve Our Plateau\Issue Paper Effectuation Timing Issue.doc
EXIS'I_SG AND FUTURE DEVELOPI.AENT
The entire area is designated Low Density Residential in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
This designation is implemented with R-4, R-1 and Resource Conservation zoning. The
area is largely Residential 4-12 dwelling units per acre in the King County
Comprehensive Plan with R-4 zoning. There are small areas with County R-6 and
Neighborhood Business zoning.
This area is characterized by detached single family dwelling on larger lots with an
average existing density of 3.2 dwelling units per acre.
The area currently has an estimated 1,630 dwellings with a combined assessed value of
over$505 million. There also are an estimated 216 acres, 109 acres of which are vacant,
and 107 acres of which are redevelopable. It is estimated that another 1,060 dwelling
units could be built over the next ten years,resulting in a total of 2,690 dwelling units in
the annexation area with an estimated population of 7,004 people.

H:\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\Preserve Our Plateau\Issue Paper Existing and Future Development.doc
FIRE DISTRICT NO. 25
The City currently provides fire prevention and suppression services under contract to
Fire District No. 25. The City would assume direct responsibility for service upon
annexation. Fire District No. 25 currently provides service to over 95% of the proposed
annexation area. State law provides that when an annexed area encompasses 60% or
more of a district's assessed value, it may require the annexing city to assume
responsibility for serving the remaining portion of the district at a reasonable fee.
The proposed annexation would only comprise 51% of the district's current assessed
value. As a result, the 60%rule is not triggered. Because the City already has a
contractual agreement to provide fire service to the district through December 2007, the
only change will be that the absolute dollar amount of taxes collected by District 25 and
paid to the City will be reduced,but the City will be recovering these lost dollars as a
result of the annexed area being added to its tax base. Basically, Renton's general
property tax will replace the lost intergovernmental revenue it was receiving from Fire
District 25.

FISCAL IMPACT
In 2005, the City contracted with Berk&d Associates to prepare a fiscal analysis of the
cost of annexing the entire East Renton PAA, including the Maplewood Heights area and
White Fence Ranch neighborhood. This larger analysis was previously distributed to
Council. The Berk and Associates analysis indicated that annexation of the entire area
would result in a$16,400 annual deficit to the City with an estimated 31 additional full-
time employees (FTE)needed to maintain the City's current level of service throughout
the entire PAA.
A revised estimate of the costs to serve and the revenues generated from the proposed
Preserve Our Plateau annexation area shows that there would be an annual deficit of
$263,000 to serve the area, excluding Maplewood Heights and White Fence Ranch.
Serving the area would require an additional 22 FTE's including one in AJLS, two in
EDNSP, one in FIS, five in Police, six in Community Services, and eight in P/B/PW.
The Berk &Associates analysis provides an assumption of cost for existing households
and population and does not take future growth into consideration.
With capacity for an additional 1,000 units of housing in the annexation area, it is
assumed that this annual deficit will quickly be erased.

The expenditures for Police Services assume no impact on administrative expenses and Auxiliary Services Gail

2 The Fire Services expenditures for Renton will not change as the City is already providing fire services to East
Highlands area under a contract with Fire District 25. Certain services,such as Fire Investigation, Fire Inspection,
Plans Review and Public Information are currently provided by King County and will become responsibility of City of
Renton if the area were annexed.However, considering very few commercial properties in East Highlands,provision
of these services would have a minimal impact on Renton's Fire expenditures and maybe absorbed within the current
budget and level of staffing.
3 This amount is 20%of estimated total amount collected for business license fees,as 80%is dedicated to road
maintenance(capital projects).
The City of Renton will lose the contract payment from Fire District 25, calculated as$1.25 per thousand of

SEWER MORATORIUM
The existing sewer moratorium expires prior to a possible annexation effective date. The
Council will need to decide whether to extend the moratorium or allow development
occurring prior to the effective date to vest to County standards. This issue is related to
the discussion about the effective date of annexation and transition of services, and will
be brought back to the Council for a decision prior to the expiration date of the
moratorium.
H:\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\Preserve Our Plateau\Issue Paper Sewer Moratorium.doc
STREET NAMING
A
The City now names north/south streets in annexing areas on the East Renton Plateau,
alphabetically after Washington cities. This naming convention cannot be continued, due
to a shortage of names. This annexation includes more streets than there are remaining
letters of the alphabet. Therefore, a decision needs to be made to create a new naming
convention or to adopt the existing County street names. Whereas Renton's methodology
makes it clear to residents where they live and probably creates more local identity than
the County system, there is a cost to the municipality and residents alike in changing
street names and one's home or business address.

Members of the Renton City Council
FROM: Kathy Keolker, Mayor
Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Administrative Report
In addition to our day-to-day activities, the following items are worthy of note for this week:
GENERAL INFORMATION
• The City of Renton, in conjunction with other cities and towns across Washington State, will
simultaneously plant a cherry tree at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 14th. Renton's cherry tree
will be planted in Earlington Park, located at 272 Thomas Avenue SW. This statewide celebration,
initiated by the Association of Washington Cities (AWC), commemorates the 30th anniversary of a
gift of 1,000 cherry trees from Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Miki to the City of Seattle in 1976,
in recognition of the United State's bicentennial. The planting of cherry trees in the United States
dates back to 1912 as a gift of friendship from the people of Japan. In Japan, the flowering cherry
tree or "Sakura", as it is called, is one of the most exalted flowering plants.
COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
• The City of Renton Recreation Division winter sports leagues are well underway, running January
through March. The Winter Adult Volleyball League includes over 40 teams in five divisions
playing 175 scheduled games. The Winter Adult Basketball League includes 24 teams in two
divisions with nine teams on the waiting list. The 2006 Renton Youth Hoop Shoot (free-throw
contest) drew 117 contestants ages 6 to 14. The Winter Youth Basketball Leagues have over 700
kids participating, utilizing 18 school district facilities. This is the largest number of participants in
the history of the program.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGBORHOODS, &STRATEGIC PLANNING DEPARTMENT
• The City of Renton Neighborhood Program will host a workshop for those interested in learning
more about applying for a neighborhood grant on Wednesday, February 15th, at 6:00 p.m. in the
Council Conference Room, on the 7th floor of City Hall. Please contact Norma McQuiller,
Neighborhood Program Coordinator, at 425-430-6595 with any questions.
PLANNING/BUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
• A large green ivy wall is located at the Renton Airport between the blast fence and Airport Way.
The aging wall had begun to lean over the years, and the recent rains made the problem worse,
raising the possibility of collapse. To prevent this, City maintenance staff will remove the wall
during the next couple of weeks. Once the wall is removed, the blast fence will be more visible
from Airport Way.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
• An auto theft prevention program is being offered by the Renton Police Department. Combined
with locking your car doors, rolling up your windows, and removing all personal belongings from
your vehicle, a steering wheel locking device (such as The Club) can be an effective auto theft
deterrent. Contact the Crime Prevention Unit at 425-430-7521 or 425-430-7520 to purchase your
steering wheel locking device.

SUBJECT: Museum Supervisor
ISSUE
Should the Council authorize starting the selected candidate for the Museum Supervisor
vacancy at Step D of the salary scale per policy 300-41?
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize Staff to offer the vacant Museum Supervisor position to Elizabeth Stewart at
the Step D salary level.
BACKGROUND
Six of 18 applicants were interviewed in December of 2005 for the vacant Museum
Supervisor position. The top three finalists were all from out of state. The top candidate
selected by the Historical Society, Library Board, and City of Renton representatives
participating in the interview process was Liz Stewart. Liz possesses a PhD in history,
has a record of securing grant funding, developing partnerships and the ability to lead
staff and volunteers. She completed a fellowship at the National Museum of American
History at the Smithsonian Institute. According to Salary.com the cost of living in the
Seattle area is 32.5%higher than her present home in Maryland. She also would be
assuming all moving costs without subsidy from the City. This starting salary would
allow her to maintain her current standard of living.

4.0 POLICY:
It is the responsibility of the City Council to establish through approval of the annual
budget the graded salary ranges for all positions in the City of Renton. It is the
responsibility of the Administration to determine the appropriate placement of
personnel within those salary grades. It is the policy of the City of Renton to maintain
an equitable and consistent approach in the administration of employee salaries while
allowing for the flexibility necessary to meet compensation needs unique to particular
departments/positions in order to attract and maintain a qualified work force.
5.0 DEFINITIONS:
Not Applicable.
6.0 PROCEDURE:
6.1 All regular positions in the City of Renton will be compensated at the rate described
by the salary schedule pertaining to the particular bargaining unit or employee group.
6.2 Employees will progress through steps within salary grades based on the attainment of
longevity and/or other requirements as specified by each particular salary plan.
Departments shall not have the authority to modify the progression of employees
within grade without review by the Human Resources & Risk Management
Administrator and approval of the Mayor.
6.3 In those circumstances involving new hires, the employee will normally be placed at
the first step of the appropriate salary grade. Authority to place new hires at up to the
Printed on 2/3/2006 1 from Folio document
Renton Policy and Procedure Manual
middle pay step rests with the hiring authority. If placement at other than entry level
is considered, the following procedure will be observed:
6.3.1 The reasons for placement will be forwarded to the Human Resources & Risk
Management Administrator for review. Normally,justification would include
possession of extraordinary relevant education, specialized training and/or
experience on the part of the employee.
6.3.2 The Human Resources & Risk Management Administrator shall review the
request and refer it with comments of concurrence or non-concurrence with
the hiring authority's intention. The Mayor shall have final review and
approval authority.
6.3.3 In those situations where the hiring authority recommends placement of the
new employee at a position greater than mid-step within the salary grade, the
procedure in Section 6.3.2 will be observed with the exception that the
approving authority shall be the City Council.
6.4 In those circumstances involving promotions, the employee will normally be placed at
the step in the appropriate salary grade closest to the employee's step in the current
grade which provides an increase in pay of not more than five (5) percent or to the

6.4.1 Upon receipt of the promotion, the employee's longevity date for the purposes
of determining future advance within the graded range shall be modified to
reflect the promotion date.
6.5 When a position is reclassified, the salary increase shall be set at the step in the
appropriate salary grade closest to the employee's step in the current grade which
provides an increase in pay of not more than five (5) percent. In those instances
where a position is reclassified, the incumbent in that position shall retain his/her
original longevity date for the purposes of calculating step increases within the graded
range.
6.6 Unless otherwise specified in a labor agreement, when a regular employee is asked to
assume the duties of a position at a higher salary grade on a temporary basis, the
employee's base salary shall be set at the step in the appropriate salary grade closest to
the employee's step in the current grade which provides an increase in pay up to a
maximum increase of five (5) percent, provided the temporary promotion will extend
for at least thirty(30) calendar days.
6.7 An employee who transfers from one position to another in the same pay grade shall
not receive a salary increase and shall retain his/her original longevity date for the

purpose of calculating step increases within the graded range.
6.8 The salary of an employee who is demoted for non-disciplinary reasons which serve
the interests of the City will be frozen at the employee's grade and step at the time of
the demotion. Further increases shall occur only when the rate for the next step in the
employee's new grade is equal to or exceeds the next step in the old grade.
6.9 The salary of an employee who is demoted for disciplinary reasons or who voluntarily
demotes will be downgraded to the appropriate step in the lower range. Upon receipt
of the demotion, the employee's longevity date for the purposes of determining future
advance within the lower graded range shall be modified to reflect the demotion date.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
In December 2003, the Council established a property tax exemption incentive to encourage multi-
family housing development in designated residential targeted areas. In August 2005, the Council
amended the property tax exemption program, in part, to include the Southport project in the "South
Lake Washington" targeted residential area. In December 2005, the City received a Multi-Family
Housing Property Tax Exemption application for the Bristol II at Southport. As provided for in RMC
4-1-220, the EDNSP Administrator needs to approve or deny the Multi-Family Housing Property Tax
Exemption application within 90 days of receipt of the application and, if approved, the applicant must
enter into an agreement approved by the Council that addresses the terms and conditions for the Bristol
II at Southport project to receive a partial property tax exemption upon completion. Subject to the
Council's approval of the agreement, the EDNSP Administrator intends to approve the Multi-Family
Housing Property Tax Exemption application for the Bristol II at Southport project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Multi-Family Housing Property Tax Exemption Agreement that addresses the terms and
conditions for a partial property tax exemption upon completion of the Bristol II at Southport project
and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute said agreement in substantially the same form.

Agreement—Bristol II at Southport
February 8,2005
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
As authorized by Chapter 84.14 RCW, the Council adopted Ordinance 5061 on December 22,
2003, Ordinance 5151 on August 1, 2005, and Ordinance 5192 on January 23, 2006, to
establish and subsequently amend a property tax exemption incentive (codified in RMC 4-1-220)
to encourage multi-family housing development in the following designated residential targeted
areas:
Highlands: Within the Center Village Comprehensive Plan designation: Center Village (CV)
zone, Residential Multi-Family (RM-F) zone, or Residential 10 du/ac (R-10) zone
Downtown: Center Downtown (CD) zone, Residential Multi-Family Urban (RM-U) zone,
or Residential Multi-Family Traditional (RM-T) zone
South Lake Washington: Urban Center North District 1 (UC-N1) zone, or properties within
the Urban Center North District 2 (UC-N2) zone that were designated as eligible for
exemption by Ordinance 5151 and developed with a residential multi-family project vested to
the requirements of the Commercial Office Residential 3 (COR 3) zone.
As outlined in Chapter 84.14 RCW and RMC 4-1-220, the Multi-Family Housing Property Tax
Exemption (MFHPTE) provision allows the value of qualified new housing construction to be
exempt from ad valorem property taxation for ten successive years after completion of the
project. However, the exemption does not include the value of the land, existing improvements
or non-housing-related improvements (e.g., commercial space). The multi-family housing
property tax exemption applies to all levels of the ad valorem property tax, including the local
jurisdiction, county, state, and all local taxing districts. The multi-family housing property tax
exemption is in addition to any other tax credits, grants, or incentives provided by law for the
multi-family housing.
The City received a MFHPTE application for the Bristol II at Southport on December 19, 2005.
The project is a five-story, mixed-use building with 195 apartment units, 12,647 sf of retail
space, and structured and below-grade parking. Bristol II at Southport is a residential rental
project. Please see Attachment 1 for additional project information and the potential projected
multi-family housing property tax exemption for the project and Attachment 2 for a related map.
The estimated potential property tax savings related to the MFHPTE are approximately
$241,888 per year ($2,418,879 for the ten-year period) for the Bristol II at Southport project.
This equates to a potential property tax savings of approximately $1,240 per year per housing
unit ($12,405 per housing unit for the ten-year period).
The City of Renton's portion of the above estimated potential property tax savings related to the
MFHPTE is approximately $63,093 per year ($630,929 for the ten-year period) for the Bristol II
at Southport project. Although the City will receive approximately $4,674 per year in property
taxes for the non-residential improvements and potential additional property tax revenue from

any increased assessed value for the land as a result of the new construction on site, the City
will not receive property tax revenue from the residential improvements until after the ten-year
property tax exemption period.
As part of the City's MFHPTE application, applicants are invited to comment on whether the
ability to obtain a property tax exemption for their project made a difference in their decision to
develop the project. For the Bristol II at Southport project, the applicant noted: " Yes, with the
tax exemption we are able to move forward with financing, design, and construction of(a) high
quality apartment project."
The project paid a $500 initial application fee and satisfies the City's MFHPTE eligibility
requirements as outlined in RMC 4-1-220D:
• The multi-family housing units are located in one or more new buildings designed for
permanent residential occupancy, each with four or more dwelling units;
• The project is located in the Urban Center North District 2 (UC-N2) zone and vested to
the Commercial Office Residential 3 (COR 3) zone requirements as part of the South
Lake Washington designated residential targeted area; and
• The project consists of a minimum of 30 dwelling units in a new mixed-use development.
As provided for in RMC 4-1-220F, the EDNSP Administrator needs to approve or deny the
MFHPTE application within 90 days of receipt and, if approved, the applicant must enter into
an agreement approved by the Council that addresses the terms and conditions for the Bristol II
at Southport project to receive a partial property tax exemption upon completion. Subject to the
Council's approval of the agreement, the EDNSP Administrator intends to approve the
MFHPTE application for the Bristol II at Southport project. Please see Attachment 3 for the
proposed MFHPTE Agreement for the Bristol II at Southport.
SECO Development, the Southport developer, completed the Bristol I at Southport with 188
apartment units and 7,300 sf of retail space in 2001-2002. The City's MFHPTE was not
established until after the Bristol I at Southport was completed and the City's property tax
exemption does not apply to existing structures. Because of the high office vacancy rate in the
region, SECO Development has been unable to proceed with the proposed 750,000 sf of office
space, or the adjacent boutique hotel, planned for Southport. Until the City amended the
MFHPTE in August 2005 to include the Southport site, SECO Development was also reportedly
unable to proceed with the Bristol II at Southport.
The Bristol II at Southport project will expand the housing opportunities in South Lake
Washington, increase the population in the Urban Center North Comprehensive Plan designated
area to help support existing and future businesses in the area, and thereby, assist the City's
efforts to create a vibrant mix of residential and retail opportunities amid other uses in South
Lake Washington.

6. No Violations for Duration of Exemption.
For the duration of the property tax exemption granted under RMC 4-1-220,
Applicant agrees that the Project and the Property will have no violations of applicable
zoning requirements, land use regulations, and building and housing code
requirements, including but not limited to the development regulations in Title IV of the
RMC, for which the Planning, Building and Public Works Department or its functional
successor shall have issued a notice of violation, citation or other notification that is not
resolved by a certificate of compliance, certificate of release, withdrawal or otherwise,
within the time period for compliance, if any, provided in such notice of violation, citation
or other notification or any extension of the time period for compliance granted by the
Planning, Building and Public Works Department.
7. Notification of Transfer of Interest or Change in Use.
Applicant agrees to notify the Administrator within thirty (30) days of any transfer
of Applicant's ownership interest in the Project, the Property or any improvements made
to the Property. Applicant further agrees to notify the Administrator and the King
County Assessor within sixty (60) days of any change of use of any or all of the multi-
family housing units on the Property to another use. Applicant acknowledges that such
a change in use may result in cancellation of the property tax exemption and imposition
of additional taxes, interest and penalty pursuant to State law.
8. Cancellation of Exemption - Appeal.
a. The City reserves the right to cancel the Final Certificate of Tax
Exemption if at any time the multi-family housing units, the Project or the Property no
longer complies with the terms of this Agreement or with the requirements of RMC 4-1-
220, or for any other reason no longer qualifies for a property tax exemption.
Multi-Family Housing Property Tax Exemption Agreement
The Bristol II at Southport, p. 4
b. If the property tax exemption is canceled for non-compliance, Applicant
acknowledges that state law requires that an additional real property tax is to be
imposed in the amount of: [a} the difference between the property tax paid and the
property tax that would have been paid if it had included the value of the nonqualifying
improvements, dated back to the date that the improvements became nonqualifying; [b]
a penalty of 20% of the difference calculated under paragraph (a) of this paragraph 8;
[c] interest at the statutory rate on delinquent property taxes and penalties, calculated
from the date the tax would have been due without penalty if the improvements had
been assessed without regard to the exemptions provided by Chapter 84.14 RCW and
RMC 4-1-220. Applicant acknowledges that, pursuant to RCW 84.14.110, any
additional tax owed, together with interest and penalty, become a lien on the Property
and attach at the time the Property or portion of the Property is removed from multi-
family housing use, and that the lien has priority to and must be fully paid and satisfied
before a recognizance, mortgage, judgment, debt, obligation, or responsibility to or with
which the Property may become charged or liable. Applicant further acknowledges that
RCW 84.14.110 provides that any such lien may be foreclosed in the manner provided
by law for foreclosure of liens for delinquent real property taxes.
c. Upon determining that a tax exemption is to be canceled, the
Administrator shall notify the property owner by certified mail, return receipt requested.
The property owner may appeal the determination in accordance with RMC 4-1-220L2.
9. Amendments.
No modification of this Agreement shall be made unless mutually agreed upon
by the parties in writing and unless in compliance with the provisions of RMC 4-1-220H,
including but not limited to the Applicant's payment of a two hundred and fifty dollars
($250.00) contract amendment fee.
10. Binding Effect.
The provisions, covenants, and conditions contained in this Agreement are
binding upon the parties hereto and their legal heirs, representatives, successors,
assigns, and subsidiaries.
11. Recording of Agreement.
The Administrator shall cause to be recorded at the Applicant's expense, or
require Applicant to record, in the real property records of the King County Department
of Records and Elections, this Agreement and any other documents as will identify such
terms and conditions of eligibility for exemption as the Administrator deems appropriate
for recording.

The Bristol II at Southport, p. 5
12. Audits and Inspection of Records.

appropriate records to assure compliance with this Agreement and RMC 4-1-220 and to
perform evaluations of the effectiveness of the multi-family housing property tax
exemption program. Applicant agrees to make appropriate records available for review
or audit upon seven days' written notice by the City.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The South Lake Washington Roadway Improvements Project consists of building new roadways,
improving/widening existing streets, and providing sewer, stormwater and water main
improvements for The Landing development. Included in this construction is Park Avenue North.
Since the City's construction will be limited to a strict time for completion, and to help lower
estimated construction costs, the Transportation Division is requesting a full temporary closure of
Park Avenue North from North 6th Street to Garden Avenue North. Traffic for both directions
will be detoured on the new Logan Avenue and Garden Avenue roadways. The estimated
duration of the closure is six months.
The temporary road closure will take place between July 2006 to July 2007. Exact dates for the
closure will depend on the work progress and are not possible to predict at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the temporary closure of Park Avenue North from North 6th Street to Garden Avenue
North and adopt the resolution authorizing the temporary closure.

VIA: Mayor Kathy Keolker
FROM: Gregg Zimmerman Administrator

SUBJECT: Temporary Road Closure of Park Avenue from
North 6th Street to Garden Avenue North
ISSUE:
Should the City allow a full temporary road closure of Park Avenue North from North 6th
Street to Garden Avenue North as part of the construction of the South Lake Washington
Roadway Improvements Project?
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the temporary closure of Park Avenue North from North 6`h Street to Garden
Avenue North and adopt the resolution authorizing the temporary closure.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The South Lake Washington Roadway Improvements Project consists of building new
roadways, improving/widening existing streets, and providing sewer, stormwater and
water main improvements for The Landing development.
The project is on a strict completion deadline that is based on The Landing development
schedule for their grand opening. This $17-20 million project will be constructed in 12 to
13 months, which is a very concentrated construction schedule.
Since most of the project is on new roadways, the majority of construction can take place
without traffic impacts. The only exception is the widening work along Park Avenue

North. Allowing construction of the improvements on Park Avenue North while it is
closed to traffic permits the contractor to build the improvements easier and quicker
compared to building the improvements simultaneously with traffic on the roadway. This
would be a great benefit by allowing the project to maintain the construction deadline and
lower the construction cost.
All lanes of Park Avenue North will be closed during its reconstruction. Traffic for both
directions will be detoured onto the new Logan Avenue North and Garden Avenue North
roadways. The estimated duration of the closure is six months. The rest of the project
can be constructed without any major traffic impacts.
The temporary road closure will take place between July 2006 to July 2007. Exact dates
for the closure will depend on work progress and are not possible to predict at this time.
Per City Code, the public will have advanced notification of the closure dates prior to
construction beginning, and updates as the construction progresses. Signs will be erected
as well as notifications in the Renton Reporter and the King County Journal to notify the
public of the projected closure.
