Marcie Maxwell accepted the proclamation on behalf of the Renton School Board and Renton Chamber of Commerce, noting that the Chamber will honor teachers during the Ahead of the Class Awards Program on May 9th. SPECIAL PRESENTATION Mayor Keolker presented William Henry with a plaque and a certificate of Board/Commission: Firemen's appreciation in recognition of his 25 years of service on the Firemen's Pension Pension Board, William Henry Board. Ray Barilleaux, Firemen's Pension Board Member, expressed his Service Recognition appreciation for Mr. Henry's service, saying that he was instrumental in making decisions that benefited both the City and the pension recipients. PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: Highlands Area accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public Redevelopment meeting to consider redevelopment of the Highlands area, which is generally located between NE 6th St. and NE 21st St., and between Edmonds Ave.NE and Monroe Ave.NE. Public comment was invited. Howard McOmber,475 Olympia Ave.NE, Renton, 98056, voiced concern regarding the City's potential use of eminent domain to acquire private property for another private party rather than for a public use. He suggested using a portion of the redevelopment effort's budget on a low interest loan program to improve the dilapidated structures, and giving property owners a chance to make the needed improvements. Mr. McOmber urged Council to end the moratorium, and to improve the zoning proposal by making the regulations Niare simpler, clearer, and friendlier. Bob Gevers, 900 Kirkland Ave.NE, Renton, 98056, stated that a majority of the residents seem to agree that something needs to be done,but disagree with the proposed methods and priorities. He voiced dismay at the use of the terms May 8,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 141 "eminent domain," "blighted," and "non-conforming" in relation to the zoning proposal. Mr. Gevers indicated that revenue enhancement has been given higher priority than what the majority of the residents want. He asked that ' ' residents be kept informed of the process, and of the changes that occur to the proposals as a result of citizen input. Rebecca Alder, 3112 NE 14th St., Renton, 98056,reported that she lives in a triplex which she owns, and said she believes the City is working in the best interest of the community. Acknowledging the residents' fear of eminent domain, she stated her belief that the City is not headed in that direction. Ms. Alder assured that she is not afraid of what is going to happen. Pat Sado, 9902 126th Ave. SE, Renton, 98056, speaking on behalf of her mother, asked the City to be careful in its planning for townhouses with alleys, as two-car garages and additional parking is essential. She added that alleys can also attract criminal activities. Ms. Sado expressed concern that her mother will be forced to sell her property if all adjacent properties are bought by developers. Additionally, she suggested that the name and picture of landlords who do not maintain their property be published in the newspapers. Howard Baldridge, 1526 Jefferson Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, owner of a duplex at 1515 Kirkland Ave. NE, objected to his taxes being used to take his home away. He indicated that he does not want to move,and is hoping to give his two daughters his properties. Mr. Baldridge noted that alleys are noisy and devalue property, and that the City's water rates are too high. Sandel DeMastus,Highlands Community Association(HCA) Vice President, 1137 Harrington Ave. NE,Renton, 98056, stated that HCA is a 501(c)(3)nonsiad - profit organization, and named the nine board members. She indicated that the association is now 300 members strong, and has participated in and contributed to many Highlands area improvement projects. Ms. DeMastus urged the City to work with HCA. Brett Hawton, 1308 Harrington Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, said Renton's target growth, as mandated by the State Growth Management Act, is probably being met; therefore,high density development is not needed in the Highlands. He pointed out that high density zoning will negatively affect traffic flow and the parks, and does not promote a good family environment. Mr. Hawton indicated that townhome development will reduce the value of his single-family home. Inez Petersen, Highlands Community Association (HCA) Secretary, 3306 Lake Washington Blvd. N., #3, Renton, 98056, noted the importance of zoning, as it defines what will happen to the area in the future. She emphasized that residents are concerned about the City's vision of the area. Ms. Petersen suggested the use of the Landlord-Tenant Act to deal with the landlords of dilapidated properties. She relayed that HCA recommends a bottom-up approach; a review of the proposed zoning and neighborhood planning; and a coalition between the City, citizens, citizen-chosen developer partner, and Section 8 housing management. Ms. Petersen stated that tax dollars should not be spent on a declaration of blight. Linda Perrine, 1157 Glennwood Ave.NE,Renton, 98056, stated that if her property is rezoned, her duplex becomes non-conforming. She pointed out that only developers,not average home buyers,will be interested in purchasing her May 8,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 142 property, which narrows the field of potential buyers. Stressing that she does *tow not want to move, Ms. Perrine indicated that she has improved her property and wants to build a garage when the moratorium is lifted. Steve Stout, 1157 Glennwood Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, stated his objection to the moratorium and to the proposed non-conforming uses, which restrict what owners can do with their property and limits property values. He noted that a declaration of blight stigmatizes the area, and townhome development constricts people from recreating outside their homes. Mr. Stout emphasized that this effort punishes owners who have taken good care of their properties. Fred Crothamel, 2951 74th Ave. SE, Mercer Island, 98040, thanked the City for the mailing which stated that the renewal plan will not displace residents. Noting the thriving housing market,he expressed surprise about the lack of interest by developers in his Highlands-area property. Terence Agnew, 1551 Hillside Dr. SE, Issaquah, 98027, owner of property at 1801/1803 Index Ave.NE, stated that if people do not have pride in their neighborhood, they will not take care of the neighborhood. He noted the inevitability of density in the Puget Sound Region, and the need to make wise choices to achieve the common goal of improving the Highlands area. Bimal Kumar, 2102 NE 23rd St., Renton, 98056,pointed out that the vision for the area, adopted in 1993, came to a stop and nothing has since happened. He indicated that he is developing property located at 1500 Index Ave.NE, and voiced his frustration with not being able to develop it the way he wanted to. Mr. Kumar stated that the friction between the citizens and the City is caused 'are by disrespect, and he noted that being respectful can solve a lot of problems. Virginia Haugen, 2503 R St. SE, Auburn, 98002, stated that she is a former Auburn City Councilmember. She pointed out that she has high density zoning near her home, and noted the associated traffic and parking problems. Ms. Haugen indicated that this effort is about money, which will not be used for citizen services, but for jobs at City Hall. Phyllis Besaw, 15907 NE 65th St., Redmond, 98052, owner of property at 1528 Index Ave. NE, submitted a letter and expressed concern about the City's ratings of the Highlands property conditions. She noted that her property, which is in good condition,has been given a poor rating. Ms. Besaw stated that the overall assessment of the area can only be based upon the condition of the individual properties; therefore,the rating information should be accurate. She requested that the City put a mechanism in place that allows owners to review their property rating, and provide additional information, if needed,to achieve accurate ratings. Bonnie Lewis, 1520 Harrington Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, stated that she needs the land on which her duplex is built to accommodate her dog; therefore, she does not plan on staying in the Highlands if the area is rezoned. She noted that a nearby home is vacant and should be demolished, and that a nearby unmarked, unpaved alley is not being properly maintained. Heidi Beckley, 806 Index Ct.NE., Renton, 98056, acknowledged the strong �r sense of fear of the Highlands residents. She expressed her favor for open mindedness and creative solutions to achieve the neighborhood everyone wants. May 8,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 143 Ms. Beckley stated that she feels bad when she sees the run-down buildings, and she hopes the City will continue to address this matter. She suggested 441610 setting up panels for the exchange of ideas. Marcie Maxwell, PO Box 2048,Renton, 98056, said she has observed the need for a variety of housing and additional housing in Renton, including both rental and purchasable properties. She encouraged the City to look at future housing needs, to recognize the importance of timing in the making of decisions, and to keep moving forward. Phillip Beckley, 806 Index Ct. NE, Renton, 98056, stated that the City is doing a good job overall, pointing out that this effort is painful but survivable. John Visser, 19404 102nd Ave. SE, Renton, 98055, owner of a duplex at 1131 Glennwood Ave. NE, displayed photographs of buildings in the vicinity of Harrington Ave. NE, saying that they are well maintained and that good housing does not need to be torn down. He noted the importance of sidewalks, backyards, and space for parking. Mr. Visser suggested changing the duplexes into two-level fourplexes. Kimberly Pedersen, 17016 27th St. E., Lake Tapps, 98391, spoke on behalf of her mother-in-law who has lived at 1536 Index Ave. NE for 50 years. She pointed out that the strong house is well maintained. Ms. Pedersen expressed concern regarding the potential demolition of the area, and suggested that the City individually deal with the owners who do not take care of their properties. She urged the City not to displace her mother-in-law. Mark Zimmerman,4600 NE 12th St., #4, Renton, 98059, indicated that the City 401000 is stopping development in the area due to the moratorium. He expressed his concerns regarding the proposed zoning, specifically the use of alleys and the high density. Mr. Zimmerman objected to eliminating single-family housing and to making existing structures non-conforming. He stated that new building will occur if the upzoning were to have more development options. Theresa Elmer, 3101-A NE 13th St., Renton, 98056, speaking on behalf of the property owner,expressed confusion regarding the zoning of the property. She voiced concern regarding the lack of notification from the City, and objected to making existing structures non-conforming. Ms. Elmer suggested stricter codes and code enforcement for those properties that are not maintained. She pointed out that the moratorium prevents owners from improving their properties, which seems to contradict what the City is trying to do. Stating that the proposal appears to be one-sided in favor of the City and excludes the voice of the property owners, Ms. Elmer suggested that more consideration of the effort is needed. Donovan Boyd,2901 NE 8th Pl., Renton, 98056, shared the concerns of his neighbor about information found on the City's website pertaining to the declaration of blight and the acquisition of private property for private parties, the moratorium,and the difficulty of developing property under the proposed zoning. Additionally, Mr. Boyd said his neighbor wants properties evaluated and a chance to correct problems with the City's assistance, and questions why property owners are not being offered the same partnership that is proposed with private developers. At the request of Mayor Keolker, correspondence was entered into the record from Senator Margarita Prentice, 1 lth Legislative District,responding to a i May 8,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 144 comment made by Sandel DeMastus regarding the Highlands Community Association at the April 24th Council meeting. Senator Prentice indicated that the 11th District legislators have not taken a position on the matter of the Highlands area, as their responsibility is district-wide on matters handled legislatively. Correspondence was read from: John A. Hansen and Sue Hansen, 1108 Anacortes Ave. NE, Renton, 98059; Jerri Broeffle, 850 Monroe Ave. NE, Renton, 98056; Joan Crueger, PO Box 332, Snohomish, 98291 (property at 624-626 Index Pl. NE); and Scott Johnson, 5164 150th Pl., SE, Bellevue, 98006 (property at 2624 NE 9th Pl., 1317 Edmonds Ave. NE and 3323 NE 12th St.). Comments included: support for the Highlands redevelopment effort; support for rezoning the area and more affordable housing; and concern that the entire matter has been poorly dealt with, that what has been done to date has not accomplished the City's goal of a center village, that the City has not effectively reached out to citizens and business owners, that the use of eminent domain be removed from the planning process, and that potentially hazardous situations such as pipelines and old mines need to be assessed in the land use planning. Additionally entered into the record was an informal petition signed by seven individuals, submitted by Howard J.McOmber, Sr., 475 Olympia Ave.NE, Renton, 98056,requesting that the City partner with them to revitalize the North Harrington community. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. RECESS MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. CARRIED. Time: 8:51 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 9:00 p.m.; roll was called; all Councilmembers present. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: Highlands Subarea accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public hearing Plan Study Area Moratorium to consider extending the moratorium, which expires May 14th, on new development in the R-10 (Residential -ten dwelling units per acre) and RM-F (Residential Multi-Family) zones within the Highlands Subarea Plan study area. Alex Pietsch, Economic Development Administrator, stated that staff recommends a moratorium extension to provide adequate time for resolution of the appeal of the SEPA determination on the Highlands Subarea rezoning proposal, which has stayed Council's ability to enact the zoning proposal. Rebecca Lind, Planning Manager, explained that the moratorium was enacted to achieve the following planning goals: study the Highlands neighborhood and develop zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and prevent new development that is inconsistent with future land use from becoming vested. Ms. Lind pointed out that once a new project is vested, it is allowed to develop under the regulations in effect at the time of application. She displayed an example of a development project that vested prior to the moratorium declaration, and noted features that are inconsistent with the proposed design 'g►' guidelines. Continuing, Ms. Lind listed property improvements that are allowed and not allowed under the moratorium. She reported that new zoning is needed for the May 8,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 145 Highlands revitalization regardless of any further action for the following reasons: it is required by the Comprehensive Plan, it provides incentive for investment, it creates standards for the creation of quality housing, and it 4100 creates a permanent stock of affordable housing. Ms. Lind noted that Council should consider amending the Comprehensive Plan if low density development in the Highlands is desired. Ms. Lind stated that staff recommends a moratorium extension to allow time for the resolution of the appeal, and to prevent low quality development that is inconsistent with future land use. She proposed that the moratorium area be amended to only include the areas zoned R-10 north of NE Sunset Blvd.,and the RM-F-zoned area along Glennwood Ave. Ms. Lind explained that the excluded areas do not contain the large, easily subdivided lots, and some are zoned multi-family. She indicated that the single-family platting, and the duplex properties that are inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan's vision are concentrated in the amended moratorium area. Ms. Lind reviewed the proposed rewording of the moratorium resolution, noting that implementation of the provision was discussed with the Development Services Director. Ms. Lind acknowledged Council's reluctance to extend the moratorium again, and asked that at a minimum, Council consider a moratorium that bans the subdivision of property to create additional new single-family building lots. She explained that further fragmentation of the land will make it more difficult to do anything in the future. Mr. Pietsch stated that two moratorium extension resolutions were prepared, pointing out that the alternate resolution only prohibits the subdivision of land. He noted that although the moratorium time period is six months, the moratorium can be lifted upon resolution of the appeal and the zoning proposal. In response to Councilman Clawson's inquiries,Ms Lind stated that the progression of the subject appeal process is as follows: Hearing Examiner, Growth Management Hearings Board, and Superior Court. In regards to property improvements, she indicated that projects will be reviewed on a case- by-case basis based on non-conforming rules. Under the moratorium, staff intends to treat the use exactly as it would treat the expansion of a non- conforming use. Pointing out that a lot has happened since the moratorium was enacted,Council President Corman commented that the entire community is probably aware of what is going on, and Council has said that it does not intend to use eminent domain to take anyone's property. If citizens know what the plans are, if citizens are going to take charge of their own destiny, if the City is going to enact zoning that will increase the property values, Mr. Corman questioned what is wrong with citizens choosing to build at the current density. He indicated that the best financial decision is probably to wait and build when the new zoning is in place; however, citizens are relaying that they want the choice. Mr. Corman noted that citizen's fear the moratorium is being used to keep property values down. Public comment was invited. Howard McOmber,475 Olympia Ave.NE, Renton, 98056, stressed that owners 41.00 should have a certain amount of freedom and creativity to do what they want with their property. He expressed his displeasure with the proposed cottage style housing, saying that the zoning proposal needs to be more flexible and May 8,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 146 allow owners more choices. Mr. McOmber stated that the moratorium extension ties property owner's hands, and owners should have the right to do want they want with their property as long as it does not adversely affect anyone else, and it is the right economic choice for them. He claimed that the purpose of the moratorium is to hold down property values. Rebecca Alder, 3112 NE 14th St., Renton, 98056, supported extending the moratorium for the reduced area as proposed by staff. She noted that a lot of work has been conducted on the Highlands redevelopment and it is still in process. She further noted that the zoning is just the first step, and that other steps concerning definitions and design will follow. Ms. Alder asserted that more time is needed to accomplish the zoning. Inez Petersen, 3306 Lake Washington Blvd. N., #3, Renton, 98056, commented on a variety of statements made on various City fliers. In regards to the appeal, she indicated that if the City voluntarily conducts an Environment Impact Statement,then the appeal can be dispensed with. Regarding the moratorium, Ms.Petersen stated that if the City has no plans to use eminent domain,then a declaration of blight is not needed. She pointed out that if a blight declaration is not needed, then why not end the moratorium and allow citizens to improve their property. Ms. Petersen asked that Council end the moratorium, form a City and citizen coalition, and go back to the drawing board to determine what works for everyone. Bimal Kumar, 2102 NE 23rd St., Renton, 98056, stated that the vested development referred to during the staff presentation is his project, and he described how he originally wanted to develop his property. Mr. Kumar *time pointed out that although the vision of the Highlands area is not wrong, the disrespect of the residents is wrong. He commented on the case-by-case determination by staff on renovation projects, as well as the allowed property renovations under the moratorium, questioning why they would be permissible on dilapidated buildings. Discussion followed regarding Mr. Kumar's project, vested projects, the proposed zoning, and allowed development under the existing R-10 zoning. Liz Cunningham, 8502 S. 119th St., Seattle, 98178, expressed her displeasure with the Highlands redevelopment process and the moratorium, and suggested that the City make use of the Landlord-Tenant Act to deal with landlords of run-down properties. Gary Williamson, 2011 Harrington Ave. NE,Renton, 98056, asked that Council keep its word and not extend the moratorium. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Moved by Corman, seconded by Persson, Council resolve not to extend the moratorium at this time.* Council President Corman commented on the zoning proposal,pointing out that many community members have indicated that the original plan is not quite the 446.0 right plan. He stated that he does not want to zone single-family out of the area, and noted that if the existing uses are going to remain conforming then there is no reason to have a moratorium. Mr. Corman indicated that a few odd �.■rrtra. • May 8,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 147 projects may result; however, most residents will hold off on projects until the zoning is in place if properties are not non-conforming. Councilman Persson expressed two concerns: extending the moratorium when the prior extension was to be the last time, and allowing people to fix up their properties,which would most likely be addressed with a limited moratorium. Councilman Clawson commented on all of the time spent studying the Highlands redevelopment, the need for affordable housing,and the importance of the area. He expressed his favor for at least extending the moratorium to prevent subdivision. Councilman Law expressed concern that the Comprehensive Plan calls for a different density in the area, and he noted the progress being made on the zoning proposal. He voiced support for the alternate moratorium that bans only the subdivision of the properties, pointing out that it provides opportunity to fine tune the rezoning and to protect the progress made thus far. Councilwoman Nelson voiced her fear for residents who want to redevelop their single-family housing, and her fear that if nothing is done, the area is going to get worse. She indicated that unless an effort is made,new stores and developers will not be attracted to the area. Ms. Nelson stated her support for the alternate moratorium that bans only the subdivision of properties. In response to Council President Corman's concerns regarding non-conforming uses,Ms. Lind explained the difference between an existing legal use, which is conforming, and a legal non-conforming use. *Motion to not extend the moratorium failed. MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL EXTEND THE MORATORIUM WITH THE ALTERNATE RESOLUTION.* Responding to a request for clarification,Ms. Lind explained that the alternate resolution enacts a moratorium on new single-family subdivision in the R-10 zone north of NE Sunset Blvd. She pointed out the lack of need for a moratorium in the RM-F zone, as new single-family development is not allowed in that zone. Ms. Lind confirmed that a duplex and a single-family footprint can be expanded. *MOTION CARRIED. Vacation: Walkway,NW 6th This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in St&Rainier Ave N, AHBL, accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public hearing VAC-06-001 to consider the street vacation petition submitted by Matt Weber, AHBL, Inc., on behalf of JDA Group LLC and I.D. Kline Corporation, LLC for a 163-foot- long and ten-foot-wide walkway between NW 6th St. and Rainier Ave. N. (VAC-06-001). Karen McFarland, Engineering Specialist, stated that City facilities contained within the subject area include an eight-inch sewer main and a twelve-inch water line. She explained that the petitioner plans to use the area in the future development of the adjacent parcels. Ms. McFarland reported that the petition did not receive any objections from 41110 City departments and outside agencies; however, the Utilities Systems Division requested that an easement be retained over the entire right-of-way, and that grading and filling not be allowed within the easement area. She pointed out May 8,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 148 that Puget Sound Energy may have facilities within the vacation area.

NEW BUSINESS Expressing his concerns regarding the conflict surrounding the Highlands Planning: Highlands Area redevelopment effort, Council President Corman made a motion proposing a Redevelopment resolution be adopted, which indicates that there will be no further consideration of eminent domain or designation of blight areas in the Renton Highlands redevelopment planning effort. Discussion followed regarding the proposal, including the lack of advanced notice for the resolution, the need to review the State Community Renewal Act and the use of eminent domain, and community concerns and inconsistencies regarding the issue of eminent domain. As a point of order,Assistant City Attorney Fontes noted the lack of a second for Mr. Corman's motion. Discussion then ensued regarding the Council workshop on May 17th on the North Harrington Neighborhood Redevelopment Strategies. It was noted that the topics proposed for discussion concern the zoning proposal,non-conformity, affordable housing, and the Community Renewal Act, and that the workshop agenda is open for Council input. It was also noted that the workshop provides the opportunity for obtaining more information about the issues, and the opportunity to discuss public comments received thus far. AUDIENCE COMMENT In response to Brett Hawton's inquiries, 1308 Harrington Ave.NE, Renton, Citizen Comment: Hawton - 98056, it was confirmed that there is a possibility that zoning for existing single Highlands Area family homes in the Highlands area will be legal and conforming, and spot- Redevelopment zoning was addressed. Citizen Comment: DeMastus - Sandel DeMastus, 1137 Harrington Ave. NE, Renton, 98056,noted that the Highlands Area Highlands Community Association's meeting concerning the Highlands Redevelopment Redevelopment is being cablecast on community access channel 77. Citizen Comment: Petersen- Inez Petersen, 3306 Lake Washington Blvd. N.,#3, Renton, 98056, indicated Highlands Area that the Landlord-Tenant Act could have been used all along to address the Redevelopment inadequate landlords in the Highlands area. She disagreed with the way citizen comments were summarized in the April 17th Council meeting minutes,and questioned which Councilmembers voted for the moratorium extension. Additionally, Ms. Petersen stated that a declaration of blight is the vehicle that allows eminent domain, and she commented on the Highlands Community Association's sincere efforts of behalf of the Highlands residents. Councilman Clawson pointed out that the City has no authority under the Landlord-Tenant Act, and remedies must be handled through the nuisance or NNW code abatement process. k May 8,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 153 Citizen Comment: McOmber- Howard McOmber, 475 Olympia Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, stressed the Highlands Area importance of property rights, saying that it is wrong to take property from an , Redevelopment owner and give it to another private party for the purposes of business. Citizen Comment: Williamson Gary Williamson, 2011 Harrington Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, expressed his -Highlands Area disappointment with the extension of the moratorium in the Highlands area, and Redevelopment his concern regarding the City's potential use of eminent domain. Additionally, Mr. Williamson commented on neighborhood standards, questioning what legal obligations he has to his neighbors to keep his property in a certain way if he is not causing anyone harm, and his property does not present a health hazard. Council discussion followed regarding eminent domain. Comments included: Council has yet to discuss eminent domain at any length and will do so at the upcoming Council workshop; decisions regarding eminent domain have not been made; eminent domain has been a topic of discussion at this Council meeting; accommodations were made this evening to have an extensive discussion on the Highlands and many citizens expressed their concerns about eminent domain; and the Council workshop venue may not be big enough to accommodate interested parties and suitable accommodations should be made.

The area, identified as the "Highlands Subarea," is located between NE 6th Street and NE 21st Street AND between Edmonds Avenue and Monroe Avenue (see Highlands Subarea map). What is the vision for the Highlands Subarea? The Highlands "Center Village" is envisioned as a dynamic urban area. • New housing would attract current and future residents from all income levels. • This housing would be built around a redeveloped commercial core, with parks and community facilities within walking distance. • Future housing types would include apartment and condominiums built over commercial uses and surrounded by quality townhomes, multi-family, and cottage developments. • The neighborhood would have sidewalks and landscaped pathways providing easy access to goods and services. • Existing residents would have the opportunity to relocate within the area as neglected and potentially hazardous housing is replaced by safer, permanently affordable housing for seniors, low-income families, and first- time homebuyers. The portions of the Highlands Subarea outside the "Center Village" are envisioned to continue as primarily single-family areas, with pockets of existing small scale multi-family development. The area's schools, churches, and city facilities will continue to be a presence in the community. When was the vision for the Highlands Subarea developed? The vision was created through a public process when the City's Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1993, refined in 2000, and readopted through public process in 2004. Why is the City focusing attention on the Highlands now? There is growing poverty and crime in the Highlands area. Much of the housing is in poor condition and the rate of ownership in the area is declining. Statistics show that the Highlands has disproportionately higher rates of serious crimes such as 1 ,J� S Revised May 3, 2006 murder, car theft, and substance abuse than the City as a whole. The City wants to support investment in the Highlands to help improve these conditions. REDEVELOPMENT What happened to the 2000 Redevelopment Plan? Businesses will only come to an area if there is a market to support them. Market analysis done on the Hi-Lands Shopping Center showed there were not enough households or sufficient spending patterns to support the revitalized neighborhood shopping center that was envisioned after public input in 2000. However, the study also showed that a small increase in households would provide an attractive market for new businesses. What has the City done to revitalize and redevelop the Highlands? • Instituted the REACT program to clean up problems in the neighborhood. • Studied both the residential and commercial market to better understand the opportunities and options for change. • Researched the physical, social, and economic conditions in the neighborhood. • Drafted proposed zoning regulations to improve revitalization opportunities. How will redevelopment improve the Highlands and preserve affordability? • By increasing the total number of housing units and partnering with home- ownership programs, there will be additional opportunities for affordable home ownership and rental units. • Additional housing units will also bring more families with a mix of incomes to the neighborhood, encouraging new businesses to locate there. • The City's proposal would require new housing developments to build affordable units in order to preserve affordability. • Without the proposed zoning, developers cannot be required to provide any affordable housing units. REZONING Why are some properties being rezoned and others not? The City's blueprint for present and future land use is called its "Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates much of the Highlands Subarea as "Center Village." The proposed changes to zoning are consistent with the policies established in 1993 and 2000 for the Center Village (see Highlands Subarea Proposed Rezones map). Won't a rezone increase the number of housing units and affect traffic? The effect of additional units on traffic was studied. The analysis revealed that while there will be more cars if more people live and work in the Highlands, there would be no noticeable increase in congestion under the proposed rezoning concept, with the exception of the intersection of Edmonds Avenue NE and NE 12th Street. This intersection would need southbound and westbound left turn pockets to accommodate increased traffic volumes. Improvements of this type would occur when actual development is proposed. 2 Revised May 3, 2006 What other zoning and land use changes are expected? Some changes may be proposed to expand the Center Village designation in the Comprehensive Plan. These changes would require amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and may be proposed later in the year. What determines the "Center Village" designation in the Comprehensive Plan? • Although it was originally called "Suburban Center," the essential vision and polices of the Center Village designation were first adopted through public process in 1993 with the City's first Comprehensive Plan. • The purpose of the designation was to redevelop existing low-density suburban areas into higher-density urban neighborhoods. • The urban village is intended to be pedestrian friendly and transit oriented with neighborhood-focused commercial development and medium- to high- density housing. If my property is to be rezoned, what does that mean? Perhaps the biggest change will be that your property may become more valuable. In many cases, a rezone that allows greater density results in at least a small increase in land value because the land has the potential to be developed for a higher density use. But the current rezoning proposal will also result in existing single-family and duplex units being considered "non-conforming uses." What is the effect of being considered "non-conforming?" Existing development that is inconsistent with underlying zoning is "grandfathered." • Non-conforming uses that were legally built and constructed are allowed to continue. • Non-conforming uses can be maintained (for instance re-roofed or remodeled on the inside), but cannot be expanded (adding a second story or more rooms). • Non-conforming uses, if destroyed by fire, for example, can only be rebuilt to the same square footage that existed before and within two years of being destroyed. • Non-confirming uses may also be changed in a way that makes them consistent with the required zoning rules. Why doesn't the City want new single-family homes and restoration of the existing duplexes? The adopted Vision in the Comprehensive Plan "Center Village" calls for townhouse and multi-family housing in the Core area proposed for Center Village and Center Village-Residential zoning. Single-family would continue to be allowed in parts of the study area outside the Center Village. Proposed Zoning Changes: CV-R = (Center Village-Residential): Allows townhouses and cottages with a base density of 14-18 dwelling units per acre. This means that existing single- family homes and duplexes will be considered non-conforming uses (see above). Property owners who can consolidate at least one acre of property and provide affordable housing are eligible for the Flex Bonus. 3 Revised May 3, 2006 ■ Flex Bonus = Single-family homes can be built and higher density is allowed, up to 30 dwelling units per acre. CV = (Center Village): Allows townhouses, flats, commercial uses and mixed residential, and commercial uses with a base density range of 20-60 dwelling units per acre. Property owners who provide affordable housing can build at densities up to 80 units per acre. R-10 = (Residential-10 units per acre): The area that will remain zoned R-10 in the Highlands Subarea will be subject to a change in development regulations. Detached and semi-attached homes will be prohibited in the R-10 zone within the Highlands Subarea. This means that existing single-family homes and duplexes will be considered non-conforming uses (see above). RM-U = (Residential Multi-Family Urban): Allows townhouses and flats within the density range of 25-75 dwelling units per acre. This zoning is proposed for properties east of Kirkland Avenue. Why does the zoning proposal keep changing? Change in a zoning proposal is a normal and expected part of the planning process. Once regulations are drafted, they are reviewed by many different groups including the public, the City Council, the Planning Commission, and City staff. Each group has the opportunity to make comments on the proposal. It is this collaboration that results in changes to the zoning proposal. Does this rezoning mean that my property will be condemned? No. This rezoning proposal has nothing to do with the condemnation of property. Rezoning allows property owners who want to develop their property to invest in the neighborhood by building housing that is consistent with land use plans for the area. DECLARATION OF "BLIGHT" Is the City going to declare the Highlands as "blighted?" If an area is to be declared "blighted," the City Council must determine that conditions in the area warrant that designation. At this time, the City Council has not made a decision to proceed with a declaration of blight. Cities are not allowed to buy property unless it is for a public use. By declaring an area "blighted" and adopting a Community Renewal Plan, the City would be able to purchase properties for the purpose of removing the "blight" under Washington's Community Renewal Act (Chapter 35.81 RCW, http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=35.81). The Community Renewal Act enables cities to remove blight through public/private redevelopment forcing landlords to make repairs to rental units, and/or to providing relocation assistance to families living in the area. What area could potentially be included in a blight declaration? Properties in the North Harrington Redevelopment Core are included in a preliminary review (see Highlands Subarea map). This includes: 4 Revised May 3, 2006 • Sunset Terrace, • The commercial areas on the north side of Sunset Boulevard (west of the intersection with NE 12th), • The Glennwood area, and • Properties between NE 12th and the Kirkland-Harrington Loop, between Harrington and Kirkland. This does not mean that every property in the boundary is considered blighted or potentially feasible for redevelopment. The boundary was drawn around a concentration of poor conditions and is subject to change. No plan exists to move forward with a blight declaration now. City Council discussion and decision would be needed before that could occur. How did the City rate the conditions of houses in the Highlands? In 2005, properties were rated only to make general correlations and assessments about the study area, not to make assessments as to the value or worth of individual homes. City staff evaluated the condition of each property based on what could be observed from the street. Property condition ratings were then used to compare housing conditions to other information collected. These ratings have not been formally adopted by the City Council, nor will they be. The following information was found using this method: • Blocks with the worst housing conditions tended to have more police cases. • Blocks with the worst housing conditions had more calls for fire and aid service. • Blocks with the best housing conditions had more homes occupied by owners. Won't a Declaration of Blight lower property values? • Property that is in the vicinity of neglected and dilapidated properties is already devalued. • Redevelopment in the neighborhood and the removal of poor housing should increase property values. • In general, property values may be raised slightly by the proposed rezone independent of and prior to any declaration of blight. Is the City going to use eminent domain to condemn people's homes? • There is no plan to remove all of the existing housing in the North Harrington Redevelopment Core. • If the City were to adopt a Community Renewal Plan, it MAY be interested in working with property owners willing to sell their properties and participate in the redevelopment process. • The vision for redevelopment will only occur in a timely fashion if several parcels can be assembled and be redeveloped in larger chunks. • If an area is declared "blighted," the City could use the tool of eminent domain under the Washington Community Renewal Act to buy individual properties at fair market value. No decision has been made to use this tool and it requires separate decisions by the City Council. 5 Revised May 3, 2006 • This would only be used as a last resort after all efforts to consolidate property through the private marketplace are exhausted, and then, only if a specific property were essential to redevelopment. • Each property acquired through the use of eminent domain would require a separate process, establishment of fair market value, and City Council action. If my property were condemned, where would I live? The redevelopment envisioned for the Highlands cannot succeed without creating new housing options for existing residents. The City would work with the Renton Housing Authority and other non-profit affordable housing providers to create a variety of attractive and affordable housing options. Existing residents would have the first opportunity to take advantage of these new opportunities. CONSOLIDATION OF PROPERTY Why does the City support consolidation of property? Larger pieces of property will be easier to develop. The proposed zoning standards create an incentive to consolidate land through a density bonus. In the future, the City MAY have an interest in buying property in the Highlands so that parcels of property can be consolidated for redevelopment. However, redevelopment of individual parcels could occur under proposed zoning without any consolidation, and without any use of the Community Renewal Act. DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE I received some information about an environmental determination of non- significance. What was that about? Any time the City makes a change in its zoning regulations, it must review the changes to determine what the environmental impacts might be. The analysis compares existing zoning rules with proposed zoning rules. At this stage, the action before the City is only the change in rules, not the actual development of property. These notices provide basic information about the determination and alert the public that the City is asking for public comments. How can the City say that the redevelopment of the Highlands is "non- significant?" The use of the term "non-significant" has a technical meaning and in no way indicates that the redevelopment of portions of the Highlands is not meaningful to the City. The City's Environmental Review Committee made a determination that the proposed change in zoning regulations does not have a significant effect on the environment, and does not require preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Additional environmental review would occur when actual development of property occurs. OPTIONS FOR REDEVELOPMENT Why can't the City just fix the physical or health problems in the Highlands? • Many of the problems can only be addressed through voluntary compliance of the property owner. • In 2003, the King County Health Department sent letters to the neighborhood about potential asbestos, lead-based paint, and indoor air 6 Revised May 3, 2006 quality hazards in many homes. Even though they offered free home assessments, only three property owners participated. • The City can only address other issues, such as junk in the yard, when it becomes bad enough to be a "nuisance," as defined by City Code. • The Washington State Constitution prevents the City from entering homes to inspect conditions. Why doesn't the City just assign more police to the area? • The City has already dedicated several police officers to the area. • There is already a disproportionate amount of resources devoted to crime in the Highlands. • As long as the physical conditions of the neighborhood reflect neglect, non- intentional or otherwise, criminals will view the Highlands as a good place to do business. Why can't we just let the free market redevelop the Highlands? • The Highlands has been in a slow decline for many years and redevelopment has not occurred, despite the fact that the existing zoning on many properties already allows a substantial increase in density. • Market analysis shows that some property owners can make more money renting dilapidated property than they can from investing in high-quality redevelopment, and since more than 60% of the existing units in the Highlands Subarea are rentals, many owners do not have an incentive to improve conditions. Without City intervention, there will be fewer and fewer affordable rental units as property values rise and rents increase. What will happen to the people who live in the area today if redevelopment occurs? • It is the policy of the City Council to increase the amount of affordable housing in the community. • A coordinated redevelopment effort will allow the City to work with the Renton Housing Authority and other non-profit affordable housing providers to create new, higher quality replacement housing that will remain affordable over time and allow current residents to have first priority for new housing. • The City's current policies would require replacement and expansion in the numbers of affordable housing units by 30%. • A coordinated redevelopment effort may also allow existing property owners to swap their land for newly constructed units. • Existing residents will be given the first opportunities to move into new subsidized developments that are safer, higher quality, and possibly more affordable than their existing homes. OPTION A & OPTION B There has been talk in the community about "Option A" and "Option B;" what are these options? Two possible implementation strategies were presented to the City Council during its March 2006 workshop. Both strategies start with rezoning consistent with the Land Use Vision for the area. 7 grin► Revised May 3, 2006 • "Option A" implements the revised zoning by utilizing the Community Renewal Act. This would bring about improvement of the poor physical, social, and economic conditions in the area more quickly through a coordinated redevelopment effort where parcels are combined into larger pieces for redevelopment and creation of higher quality, safer, permanently affordable housing. • "Option B" implements the revised zoning incrementally, pursues code enforcement, and allows market forces to eventually redevelop the area. Existing conditions would persist until piecemeal redevelopment occurs. Development would occur on smaller parcels and affordable housing would be harder to achieve as individual parcels redevelop. Affordable housing would tend to be lost over time due to gentrification. Are "Option A" and "Option B" related to the land use concepts on display at the Highlands Planning Open House Last Fall? No. Those land use concepts were completely different from the Council discussion on redevelopment strategies. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT It seems like the City is moving too fast in its planning efforts. • The City adopted the essential Vision for the Center Village in the Highlands in 1993, although it was then called "Center Suburban." • The City began studying redevelopment of the Highlands in 2000. • In 2000, the City expanded the Center Village land use designation, but redevelopment did not happen. • The City began a new approach in late 2004, and has been studying and working on the Highlands Redevelopment Initiative ever since. • All property owners were invited to participate in this new planning effort in Spring 2005. • At this time, the results of the City's planning efforts are being released for public review through a series of public meetings. What public input has there been into the City's recent work on the Highlands Subarea so far? • The City sent all property owners in the Highlands a survey about potential redevelopment in Spring 2005. • In Summer 2005, the City invited property owners to a series of focus groups. • In November 2005, the City held a public Open House at the Highlands Community Center. • From January 2006 through April 2006, the Planning Commission held public meetings on Subarea planning and zoning. • Residents and property owners have been sent several notices by the City, inviting comment on the development moratorium, the environmental review for the proposed zoning changes, and public hearings for the proposed zoning changes. 8 Revised May 3, 2006 Why did the City enact a development moratorium for The Highlands? • The City enacted a moratorium on development because the existing zoning is not consistent with the vision established in the Comprehensive Plan. • The moratorium gave the City time to figure out how best to achieve redevelopment and revitalization of the neighborhood. Under the rules of the moratorium, property owners can remodel, clean up, and otherwise improve existing structures. However, they cannot subdivide, expand, or build new units. When does the moratorium end? The moratorium is scheduled to expire May 14, 2006, unless extended by the City Council. How can I get involved in the Highlands planning effort? • Attend Planning Commission and City Council meetings where the Highlands Subarea is an agenda topic. • All property owners are sent notices when required by state or local law, such as a Notice of Application when a project begins environmental review or when a public hearing is held to collect input. • If you wish to receive notification of project milestones, you should contact Judith Subia (below) to be added to the parties of record list for the Highlands Subarea.

The present threat to individual rights is in the form of the Mayor of the City of Renton and her staff deciding that the "appropriate" solution to some rundown housing in the city is to "take" through the use of "eminent domain" the private property of individuals, "accumulate and assemble" these private properties and then hand them over to another private party. The city has stated that it desires to partner with this "private party" and give to this "private party not only the land but rich financial incentives from the taxpayers." There is no "public use" for which these properties are being "acquired and assembled" by the city. There is no road, or bridge or public work of any kind. NO, this "taking" is for private business purposes!! The excuse given by the city is allowing a "market based approach" would be "Slower, piecemeal redevelopment over many years with existing social conditions and drain on City services continuing until sometime in the future when incremental new investment reaches critical mass to draw a wider range of market interest and family incomes." This is a direct quote from the city's "OPTION B." In simple terms the City thinks it would take too long to allow the free market to improve the area. % 1 No one is disputing the rundown condition of a small percentage of the homes in the neighborhood. There are though much more appropriate solutions to the problem than condemnation of the whole neighborhood. It is rather like dynamiting the neighborhood to stop a house fire. The condition of the properties has been greatly exaggerated by the Mayor. In her State of the City address she made it sound like the housing was generally in deplorable condition such as "Homes without bathrooms, or kitchens, and teetering on their foundations." This is simply not true. The general condition of most of the homes in the neighborhood are sound, well built homes that have stood the test of time with storms and earthquakes and come out very well. These homes were built of high quality materials and are sturdy and serviceable. We are not really faced with housing, for the most part, that is below the standard of other neighborhoods throughout the entire greater Seattle area. There is no danger here that the city must protect against!! SOLUTION: A reasonable solution to the problem of unsightly buildings would be for the city to use a portion of the money that it now has in its budget earmarked for redeveloping this area. The city could fund a low interest loan program to provide for the improvements that would make this neighborhood very attractive. Many of the property owners have signed a petition to the city requesting of the city that before any declaration of" BLIGHT" is made that the city send out some qualified inspectors to examine the real estate and then meet with the owners and give the owners a chance to make the needed improvements. Up to now the study, upon which the city has laid its well documented plan to seize the property, was made by two people driving by the neighborhood and, without even getting out of the car, determining and rating the condition of the individual properties. No, there is not a reason sufficient here to justify the use of eminent domain. Any problem here in the highlands can be better solved with appropriate assistance and direction from the city. The city needs to receive more imput from the residents and property owners. The city needs to team up with the people who own the property to work out a better solution. At issue here is whether the City should "take the private property from its people for purely business reasons". If the city is allowed to take the private property of the people in the North Harrington neighborhood of the Highlands, then the city has the power to take any home in the city of Renton from its owner. Under that rule private property has lost its meaning. The right of a home owner to assume that his home is safe from seizure by the government is gone. Ownership of private property will mean "until or unless the government decides to take it away from me and give it to someone they like better at the government's price." It is important that the city council take the time to review this dangerous threat to our rights. This land grab has been put on a very fast rush! The official city website as of a month ago on April 14, 2006 had laid out the draft for the "Declaration of Blight" to be completed by June 30th, and submitted to the city council for adoption by July 31, 2006. This is way too important a move to be rushed through!! Something this sweeping needs to be carefully judged. The consequences are too important. We request the City council to entirely review this issue and work out a solution with the people of the neighborhood. We need improvements to the proposed zoning text amendments. We need the right to improve the properties be restored through lifting of the moratorium. We need the environmental review and the impact of the new developments to be reevaluated. We request that the zoning regulations be made more simple, clear, and friendly to further development in the Highlands. We request that the proposals of"cottages", and town houses be expanded to allow for creativity for the property owners to improve their properties. Let us work together in the spirit of cooperation. PLEASE discard the current program of taking the homes and properties away from us and handing it over to some other private party. Highlands Community Association, SheAge "0101.1, 14otaafrd 1.

This classification is based on faulty information. My property is in good condition,and is classified as poor. Several people who have testified or that I've spoken with also have property in good condition that is classified as poor. This is my third written letter to the Mayor and City Council. The issue was also raised at the Planning Commission meeting on April 12. The responses have included: • The overall condition of the community is what's important • The rating exercise was designed to guide the planning effort, and has no further application • Individual property ratings will not be revisited Since an overall assessment can only be mainly based on the condition of the individual properties,that information should be accurate. Any planning effort that puts the"blighted"label on a community should in all fairness to the community be guided by accurate information. So far the City does not seem to be interested in ranking the properties accurately. The original intent that the ratings be"secret"would have promoted the belief in the community that their neighbors are slumlords or trashy. I object to City employees speaking at community organizations, and saying that all or portions of the area is"blighted"when there seems to be no interest by the City in assessing the properties in the community accurately. I request that the City fix this problem, including putting a mechanism be in place so that property owners can review the rankings and provide additional information, if needed, to get an accurate ranking. It is likely that there are many more properties other than the ones I've heard of that are in good condition,yet have been ranked as poor. If so, `blighted"is not a fair assessment.

This is untrue. I have spoken with Zack Hudgins. We are watching the situation with great interest and are on the mailing list for their newsletters. We have not taken a position on this matter as our responsibility is district-wide on matters handled legislatively. We hope this clears this up.

Sincerely, Senator Margarita Prentice 11th Legislative District t � Pitg6 lileeit/n9 do rrespOfdence CITYOFRENTON S r 06 MAY 0.4 2006 To: Renton City Council RECEIVED CITY CLERK'S OFFICE We fully support the City of Renton initiatives to pursue redevelopment of the Highlands Sub-Area. It has been well-known for many years that the quality-of-life and condition of housing and other structures in this area is far below what it should be. The redevelopment plans as presented so far appear to offer a reasonable, workable, and fair roadmap for progress. We will support these redevelopment plans in our business, social, and church relationships and contacts within the community. We believe the Highlands Sub-area Redevelopment will be a great benefit to those living in the Subarea, as well as to those in nearby areas. For the record, our residence is near,but not in the Subarea. We expect improvements in the Subarea to give an impetus to improvements in nearby areas such as ours. Visible improvements and increases in property value in the Subarea will help to justify significant upgrades and improvement projects in nearby areas. We urge Mayor Keolker and the City of Renton to aggressively pursue the Highlands Sub-Area Redevelopment with all deliberate speed. We believe the City has the momentum going at this time to do this and we don't want to lose it. John A.

Re: Re-development of the Renton"Highlands" I am submitting this letter to be included as my brief written comments of record for the public meeting scheduled at 7 PM Monday,May 8,2006,on the subject Renton Highlands re-development/rezone. It seems to me that this entire issue has been dealt with poorly by all,public officials and staff and community organizations or groups alike,who've so far been directly involved in bandying about how to re-develop what is certainly the largest"residential"area of Renton and probably the largest readily quantifiable,geographically distinct area within Renton's city limits. My comments are presented in bulleted form to maintain brevity. • What has been done to date has not accomplished the City's stated goal of creating a"Center Village." Changing the residential zoning from R-2,R-4 and R-6 to a virtual area-wide R-8 has only served to cause the County Assessor to raise land values and thereby increase property taxes.In fact, land-only value is higher for Highlands non-view small building lots than it is for Renton Hill residential view property! This has placed an undue burden on the preponderantly low-and moderate-income residents of the Highlands through increased house payments for owners and increased rents for tenants.Yet,the land owners controlling the biggest parcels PAY ABSOLUTELY NO PROPERTY TAX.I'm referring to the large tracts of ground owned by the Renton School District,Renton Technical College,assorted churches,and the City of Renton itself.This effectively shifts a larger portion of the property tax burden onto those least able to pay it and who will benefit the least from it—the homeowner, landlord and business owner. Further,sweeping zoning changes have also been a veiled attempt by City government to cause people to"change their ways(in using their land)"through legislation.This didn't work for liquor use during Prohibition in the 1930's and it won't work for land use now. • The City(referring to the incumbent Mayor and City Council)seems to be"running scared"because of the State's Growth Management Act regulations instead of looking at and using those requirements as an opportunity to develop true future image for Renton and its various distinct neighborhoods. 1 Jerri Broeffle 5/7/2006 • There is no"vision"that I've seen presented by City officials and staff for the Highlands. Sure, there've been a few public information times where City planners showed off a few colored maps. There have been"public meetings"which were anything but what that term implies—a place where the public can freely comment on issues at hand and City officials and staff can actually listen to what is being said by citizens without being stifled by public officials with what seem to be personal insecurity issues of their own.But I've not seen a true effort by City government to reach out to citizens and business owners in any effective manner. There has been no leadership from City government or staff to develop a viable view of this area's potential—not just for the next 5 or 10 years,but for the Highlands as it could be in 40 years.If a true effort was made NOW to create a future center-village image,use of the City's power to institute proper,effective,enabling zoning-development regulations would both allow and encourage current residents,businesses and developers to truly make better use of this entire area. • The portion of the Highlands referred to as the"North Harrington Redevelopment Core"and the "Study Area"together is nothing more than a reincarnation of the•old Renton Housing Authority's physical realm dating from the late 1940's and early 1950's.Can't today's Renton officials and staff be more forward-thinking instead of resorting to a resurrection of an area definition that is 60 years old?! Looking at my Kroll Map Company plat map from the late 1940's of Township 23 North,Range 5 East,W.M.,(copy of a portion of this Kroll map is attached for your reference),the portion referred to as the"Renton Highlands-Renton Housing Authority"on that document is nearly identical to the current area at issue! This explicitly demonstrates the lack of effort by City officials and staff to use imagination and ingenuity in creating a well-defined and well-thought- out image for the Highlands of the future. • City officials and staff don't seem to understand what the"Highlands"is,and therefore,aren't able to define what it could or should be. There were 2 annexations—Renton Highlands 1 and Renton Highlands 2-which originally added most of the area being discussed now to the City of Renton,and I mentioned earlier, comprised that area developed by the federal government in the early 1940's as housing for Boeing and Pacific Car&Foundry workers during World War II. However, in common usage,the Renton Highlands has always had a broader definition with general boundaries as follows using current roadway designations:Aberdeen Avenue N.E.on the west,Monroe Avenue N.E.on the east,N.E.3'1/4's Street on the south,and N.E.24th/S.E. 100th Street on the north. Boundaries for the"Greater Renton Highlands"could be defined as: Sunset Boulevard N.E.and its extension to the north(formerly 112th Ave.S.E.)on the west,Union Ave.N.E.on the east, S.E.4th Place/N.E.4th St,on the south,and N.E.27th St./S.E.95th Way on the north.Realistically, the eastern border today could be pushed out to Duvall Avenue N.E. Shouldn't the City of Renton be looking at the usage-defined Highlands holistically instead of zeroing in on a long-outdated 1940's definition of the area? • However the subject of exercising,or even thinking of exercising,government's power of Eminent Domain came up as a way of dealing with land-use planning issues,the Mayor and City officials need to unequivocally remove this notion from their own thinking and from the"public mind." All matters regarding when and how Eminent Domain can be used are quickly becoming nation- wide issues that will have to be defined by the federal Supreme Court and refined by state Supreme Courts.Any attempt by the Mayor and/or City Council to even try taking private 2 Jerri Broeffle 5/7/2006 property by Eminent Domain simply to solve planning and zoning"crises"will,I'm sure,be met with something simple like a recall election,followed perhaps by criminal accusation of malfeasance and misfeasance of office. The Mayor,herself,as the top City official,needs to publicly withdraw this subject from all consideration,and apologize to the citizens of Renton for even appearing to threaten the people's rights to their homes and property.Further,the term"blighted"neighborhood needs to be abandoned by the Mayor and Council as well.The City of Seattle has had some neighborhoods truly worth of the term"blight"and is slowly dealing with those areas such as Holy Park near Empire Way S.(Martin Luther King Way),and the Bailey Gatzert area along 12th Avenue S. There are no areas in the City of Renton or in the Renton Highlands with blocks upon blocks of boarded-up business buildings and bombed-out residences;with drug deals involving 30 or more participants routinely going down on specific street corners;with both adult and child prostitution readily apparent to passers-by as being the area's"primary business."In the Highlands,certainly, there are a few residential structures that need to either be fixed up or abated.There are several commercial structures that have long outlived their viability and need to be replaced. • Have in-depth studies have been done to deal with potentially hazardous situations in the Highlands area that need to be included in good land-use planning for this area?Seismically,all of the Renton Highlands is quite stable.But here are several items to be considered: Overhead electrical power transmission lines and fuel-carrying pipelines: Puget Sound Energy owns and operates that 115kV power lines paralleling and located just to be west of Monroe Ave.N.E.and which run the full length north-south of the Highlands. These"wires"are supported on wooden poles roughly 90 feet high and these poles have not been replaced since the 1940's.Their structural integrity is gradually becoming a matter of concern. Seattle City Light runs its 230kV from north to south through the entire Highlands roughly along a line marked by Shelton Ave.N.E.While this transmission line is supported by steel towers,they were installed long ago and have not,to my knowledge,had sufficient maintenance and/or upgrading or the towers or replacement of the conductors in the past 50 or so years to guarantee the line's continued operation without line or tower failure in the future. Olympic Pipeline's fuel-carrying pipeline runs north to south through the entire Highlands, mostly along the right of way for Seattle's 230kV power transmission line.Pipe was installed in the early to mid-1950's.It carries primarily fuel for jet plans to SeaTac Airport,but also carries various other liquid fuels at different times.Olympic has already had, in the recent past,several pipeline ruptures throughout Western Washington which caused property damage,and one disastrous fuel spill which resulted in the deaths of 3 boys in the Bellingham area not too many years ago. You might say,"Oh,that couldn't happen here,"but you would be wrong.It could,it would,and eventually it will happen here in the Renton Highlands,or at its pumping facility in South Renton. Underground voids: The Highlands area is under-lain by a number of mining shafts of various sizes and in various locations.The largest,approximately 13 feet in diameter,of these lies from 100 to 130 feet below-ground,runs roughly southwest-northeast on the east side of Monroe Ave.N.E.Other side shafts of differing dimensions sprout off the main shaft and run in several directions.I also suspect there is a shaft coming under the Highlands from the Maple Valley floor and 3 Jerri Broeffle 5/7/2006 running to the north-northwest.Have City officials or staff checked with the State Archives office or with the Federal Office of Mines for maps and/or studies showing the location and geologic stability of these features? Underground water collection system for Renton's Maple Valley aquifers: The entire"Highlands"area from Edmonds Ave.N.E.to Duvall Ave.N.E.conceals a number of underground collection pools of water.At one time these evidenced themselves as small lakes and ponds on the surface.I specifically remember one located at or near Monroe Ave. N.E.and N.E.9th St.;another at Monroe Ave.N.E.and N.E.8th St.another in the vicinity of N.E. 10th St.and Redmond Ave.N.E;yet another just to the east of N.E.6th St.and Union Ave.N.E.;and another along Edmonds Ave.N.E.around N.E.20th St.Along both N.E.Sunset Boulevard and N.E.4th St.(Cemetery Road)east of Union Ave.N.E.there were many small lakes and ponds. These lakes and ponds,and some of their connecting streams,are no longer visible on the ground surface.Did they simply"go away"with development in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's?No,they did not.Natural water courses do not simply"go away."They're still there, but they did go underground.In fact,the entire Highlands area is a major collector of both surface(rain)and sub-surface(ground water table)water.And,where do you think that collected water goes?It goes underground,directly into Renton's precious aquifer system which supplies our City's water needs! Have City staff or officials made the effort to study exactly how any proposed major development or re-development(I'm referring to creating impervious areas such as parking lots,roadways,building roofs and footprints,etc.)of the Renton Highlands would affect the Highlands'geologic water collection features and how they contribute to the entire City's water supply? Don't you think it's time for Renton's Mayor and City Council to step up to the plate and start acting in the best interests of all of Renton's citizens,and especially the citizens who live and operate businesses in the Highlands? I have ideas—workable ideas—and I'm sure others do,too.Why don't you seek us out or publicly invite us,either as groups or as individuals,to make an appointment with the Mayor,Councilmembers and/or City planners to present our ideas and desires for OUR community? As the owner of a building and construction consulting business,I'm involved in development of all types of structures,residential-commercial-industrial,from ground acquisition and preparation,through conceptualization,viability studies and design,and through construction to fmal occupancy.To do what I do,I also need other specialists—surveyors and land development specialists,structural designers, architects and engineers,real estate experts and fmancial people,as well as general and tradeswork contractors of all types.I work with a loosely organized group of very talented people from every profession.I'm sure that several of these folks I work with,myself included,would gladly take a look at the issues presented by re-development in the Highlands,and prepare one or several brief written conceptual outlines for the City's use,either at no cost or for a very minimal fee. Yesterday I happened to be talking with a money broker.Just out of curiosity I asked him if he was familiar with the re-development issues in the Renton Highlands.He said he'd read about it in newspapers and heard some comments from other financial people he knows.I directly asked him how many hundred million dollars he could lay his hands on immediately to put into a guaranteed financial 4 Jerri Broeffle 5/7/2006 "pool"to be available to developers,business owners and residents,for development and re-development in the Renton Highlands.His immediate answer to me was that he could have a letter of committal for"5" within 48 hours from a local funding consortium That means that he could,within 2 working days, provide a guaranteed pool of investment money totaling$500,000,000.00(that's a half-billion dollars, folks)to be tapped into by parties involved in building and re-building the Renton Highlands! That ought to make a good start toward a good future for this area.He added that given a couple of more days he could probably triple that with ease. Personally,I would be delighted to talk with City officials or staff.Possibly,I could present ideas that would make re-developing the Renton Highlands a win-win-win situation for all concerned.Defmitely,I can provide referrals and connections to a network of extremely talented,fore-sighted,highly-experienced professionals who may be willing to help Renton City government come up with better-thought-out options for the Renton Highlands.

According to the City's website as of April 14, 2006 the city plans to "Make a declaration of Blight" [page 5 of 7] According to page 6 of 7 the administration planned to complete the "Draft Declaration of Blight BY June 30th and according to the city's publication "By July 31st, submit Sub-area Plan, Declaration of Blight and NHCRP to City Council for consideration and subsequent adoption." We request that you work with us instead of some other outside "Development Partner" to correct the "BLIGHT". We request that the Mayor and her administration send staff to meet with us the actual property owners and go over with us what the city requires for improving each of our properties so that the blight can be eliminated by cooperative effort between us, the property owners and you, our elected officials. We expect you to be reasonable and fair in your requirements. We further request that you rewrite your proposed zoning text amendments to both allow us to improve our properties as they now are by permitting us to build additions onto our existing buildings and also to create less complicated, clear, specifications to facilitate infill development of additional units on our land. We request that you postpone rezoning of our property until corrections are made to the text amendments , and also that you provide communications and meetings with us so that we can give our imput into what is going to be allowed on our property We commit to you that we will fulfill every reasonable requirement from the city to correct the poor conditions v On our properties that has led the City to decide to redevelop OUR properties. We expect the city to do its part in cleaning up and upgrading the city's areas of responsibility such as streets, alleys, sidewalks, street lighting as well as more efficient and improved city services that are not related to real estate. We also commit to form a "Property Owner's Association for the North Harrington Community with the following conditions: a. That all of the properties will either be sided with a permanent type siding such as brick or vinyl or be painted and repainted at least once in every7years. And, if determined by the "association" that the exterior has become unsightly be repainted as often as every other year. b. That all roofs be inspected and any roof that is in poor condition will either be repaired or replaced. c. That all yards be kept cleared of trash and that those who do not keep their yards tidy will agree to pay the association for the cost to clean the lot. d. That the city be encouraged to spend some of its $2,500,000.00 fund which it has set aside to "Revitalize the North Harrington Community" to repair the city sidewalks, upgrade the streetlights, clean up and improve the alleys and increase the 3 police patrols for the entire Highlands to a number more appropriate to assist residents to maintain a calm safe environment. e. Help the city cure the poorly developed zoning text amendments to encourage orderly upgrading and redevelopment of the area by making it easier and less cumbersome to expand existing buildings and to create additional units of housing. These zoning text amendments should provide clarity and ease in obtaining permits and should be consistent with obtaining an increased utilization of the properties by the owners. f. Establish a volunteer liaison from the community or from the Highlands area in general to attend all council meetings to assist in better communication between the city government and the Highlands.

The new proposed zoning will result in land use actions and densities needed as an incentive for redevelopment in line with the City's adopted Business Plan and Comprehensive Plan. The existing moratorium expires on May 14, 2006, unless extended by the City Council. A zoning text and zoning map amendment proposal was drafted by staff, and processed for environmental review under the State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) by the City's Environmental Review Committee. Proposed zoning was reviewed by the Planning Commission, and forwarded to the City Council Planning and Development Committee. liary However, an appeal has been filed by the Highlands Community Association from the Environmental Review Committee's Declaration of Non-Significance for the proposed zoning. The City Council cannot take action on the proposed zoning proposals prior to resolution of the appeal. It is recommended that the moratorium be extended for a period not to exceed six months to provide adequate time for the hearing and decision on the Highlands Community Association's appeal of the Declaration of Non-Significance adopted by the Environmental Review Committee, for the City Council to consider the recommendation of the Planning Commission, and for the City Council to make a decision about the appropriate zoning in the R-10 and RM-F zones with the Highlands Subarea Plan Study area; and to maintain the status quo until those decisions can be made.

The area, identified as the "Highlands Subarea," is located between NE 6th Street and NE 21' Street AND between Edmonds Avenue and Monroe Avenue (see Highlands Subarea map). What is the vision for the Highlands Subarea? The Highlands "Center Village" is envisioned as a dynamic urban area. • New housing would attract current and future residents from all income levels. • This housing would be built around a redeveloped commercial core, with parks and community facilities within walking distance. • Future housing types would include apartment and condominiums built over commercial uses and surrounded by quality townhomes, multi-family, and cottage developments. • The neighborhood would have sidewalks and landscaped pathways providing easy access to goods and services. • Existing residents would have the opportunity to relocate within the area as neglected and potentially hazardous housing is replaced by safer, permanently affordable housing for seniors, low-income families, and first- time homebuyers. The portions of the Highlands Subarea outside the "Center Village" are envisioned to continue as primarily single-family areas, with pockets of existing small scale multi-family development. The area's schools, churches, and city facilities will continue to be a presence in the community. When was the vision for the Highlands Subarea developed? The vision was created through a public process when the City's Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1993, refined in 2000, and readopted through public process in 2004. Why is the City focusing attention on the Highlands now? There is growing poverty and crime in the Highlands area. Much of the housing is in poor condition and the rate of ownership in the area is declining. Statistics show that the Highlands has disproportionately higher rates of serious crimes such as 1 Revised May 3, 2006 murder, car theft, and substance abuse than the City as a whole. The City wants to support investment in the Highlands to help improve these conditions. REDEVELOPMENT What happened to the 2000 Redevelopment Plan? Businesses will only come to an area if there is a market to support them. Market analysis done on the Hi-Lands Shopping Center showed there were not enough households or sufficient spending patterns to support the revitalized neighborhood shopping center that was envisioned after public input in 2000. However, the study also showed that a small increase in households would provide an attractive market for new businesses. What has the City done to revitalize and redevelop the Highlands? • Instituted the REACT program to clean up problems in the neighborhood. • Studied both the residential and commercial market to better understand the opportunities and options for change. • Researched the physical, social, and economic conditions in the neighborhood. • Drafted proposed zoning regulations to improve revitalization opportunities. How will redevelopment improve the Highlands and preserve affordability? • By increasing the total number of housing units and partnering with home- ownership programs, there will be additional opportunities for affordable home ownership and rental units. • Additional housing units will also bring more families with a mix of incomes to the neighborhood, encouraging new businesses to locate there. • The City's proposal would require new housing developments to build affordable units in order to preserve affordability. • Without the proposed zoning, developers cannot be required to provide any affordable housing units. REZONING Why are some properties being rezoned and others not? The City's blueprint for present and future land use is called its "Comprehensive Plan." The Comprehensive Plan designates much of the Highlands Subarea as "Center Village." The proposed changes to zoning are consistent with the policies established in 1993 and 2000 for the Center Village (see Highlands Subarea Proposed Rezones map). Won't a rezone increase the number of housing units and affect traffic? The effect of additional units on traffic was studied. The analysis revealed that while there will be more cars if more people live and work in the Highlands, there would be no noticeable increase in congestion under the proposed rezoning concept, with the exception of the intersection of Edmonds Avenue NE and NE 12th Street. This intersection would need southbound and westbound left turn pockets to accommodate increased traffic volumes. Improvements of this type would occur when actual development is proposed. 2 Revised May 3, 2006 What other zoning and land use changes are expected? Some changes may be proposed to expand the Center Village designation in the Comprehensive Plan. These changes would require amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and may be proposed later in the year. What determines the "Center Village" designation in the Comprehensive Plan? • Although it was originally called "Suburban Center," the essential vision and polices of the Center Village designation were first adopted through public process in 1993 with the City's first Comprehensive Plan. • The purpose of the designation was to redevelop existing low-density suburban areas into higher-density urban neighborhoods. • The urban village is intended to be pedestrian friendly and transit oriented with neighborhood-focused commercial development and medium- to high- density housing. If my property is to be rezoned, what does that mean? Perhaps the biggest change will be that your property may become more valuable. In many cases, a rezone that allows greater density results in at least a small increase in land value because the land has the potential to be developed for a higher density use. But the current rezoning proposal will also result in existing single-family and duplex units being considered "non-conforming uses." What is the effect of being considered "non-conforming?" Existing development that is inconsistent with underlying zoning is "grandfathered." • Non-conforming uses that were legally built and constructed are allowed to continue. • Non-conforming uses can be maintained (for instance re-roofed or remodeled on the inside), but cannot be expanded (adding a second story or more rooms). • Non-conforming uses, if destroyed by fire, for example, can only be rebuilt to the same square footage that existed before and within two years of being destroyed. • Non-confirming uses may also be changed in a way that makes them consistent with the required zoning rules. Why doesn't the City want new single-family homes and restoration of the existing duplexes? The adopted Vision in the Comprehensive Plan "Center Village" calls for townhouse and multi-family housing in the Core area proposed for Center Village and Center Village-Residential zoning. Single-family would continue to be allowed in parts of the study area outside the Center Village. Proposed Zoning Changes: CV-R = (Center Village-Residential): Allows townhouses and cottages with a base density of 14-18 dwelling units per acre. This means that existing single- family homes and duplexes will be considered non-conforming uses (see above). Property owners who can consolidate at least one acre of property and provide affordable housing are eligible for the Flex Bonus. 3 9 Revised May 3, 2006 ■ Flex Bonus = Single-family homes can be built and higher density is allowed, up to 30 dwelling units per acre. CV = (Center Village): Allows townhouses, flats, commercial uses and mixed residential, and commercial uses with a base density range of 20-60 dwelling units per acre. Property ownerswho provide affordable housing can build at densities up to 80 units per acre. R-10 = (Residential-10 units per acrej: The area that will remain zoned R-10 in the Highlands Subarea will be subject to a change in development regulations. Detached and semi-attached homes will be prohibited in the R-10 zone within the Highlands Subarea. This means that existing single-family homes and duplexes will be considered non-conforming uses (see above). RM-U = (Residential Multi-Family Urban): Allows townhouses and flats within the density range of 25-75 dwelling units per acre. This zoning is proposed for properties east of Kirkland Avenue. Why does the zoning proposal keep changing? Change in a zoning proposal is a normal and expected part of the planning process. Once regulations are drafted, they are reviewed by many different groups including the public, the City Council, the Planning Commission, and City staff. Each group has the opportunity to make comments on the proposal. It is this collaboration that results in changes to the zoning proposal. Does this rezoning mean that my property will be condemned? No. This rezoning proposal has nothing to do with the condemnation of property. Rezoning allows property owners who want to develop their property to invest in the neighborhood by building housing that is consistent with land use plans for the area. DECLARATION OF "BLIGHT" Is the City going to declare the Highlands as "blighted?" If an area is to be declared "blighted," the City Council must determine that conditions in the area warrant that designation. At this time, the City Council has not made a decision to proceed with a declaration of blight. Cities are not allowed to buy property unless it is for a public use. By declaring an area "blighted" and adopting a Community Renewal Plan, the City would be able to purchase properties for the purpose of removing the "blight" under Washington's Community Renewal Act (Chapter 35.81 RCW, http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=35.81). The Community Renewal Act enables cities to remove blight through public/private redevelopment forcing landlords to make repairs to rental units, and/or to providing relocation assistance to families living in the area. What area could potentially be included in a blight declaration? Properties in the North Harrington Redevelopment Core are included in a preliminary review (see Highlands Subarea map). This includes: 4 Revised May 3, 2006 • Sunset Terrace, • The commercial areas on the north side of Sunset Boulevard (west of the intersection with NE 12th), • The Glennwood area, and • Properties between NE 12th and the Kirkland-Harrington Loop, between Harrington and Kirkland. This does not mean that every property in the boundary is considered blighted or potentially feasible for redevelopment. The boundary was drawn around a concentration of poor conditions and is subject to change. No plan exists to move forward with a blight declaration now. City Council discussion and decision would be needed before that could occur. How did the City rate the conditions of houses in the Highlands? In 2005, properties were rated only to make general correlations and assessments about the study area, not to make assessments as to the value or worth of individual homes. City staff evaluated the condition of each property based on what could be observed from the street. Property condition ratings were then used to compare housing conditions to other information collected. These ratings have not been formally adopted by the City Council, nor will they be. The following information was found using this method: • Blocks with the worst housing conditions tended to have more police cases. • Blocks with the worst housing conditions had more calls for fire and aid service. • Blocks with the best housing conditions had more homes occupied by owners. Won't a Declaration of Blight lower property values? • Property that is in the vicinity of neglected and dilapidated properties is already devalued. • Redevelopment in the neighborhood and the removal of poor housing should increase property values. • In general, property values may be raised slightly by the proposed rezone independent of and prior to any declaration of blight. Is the City going to use eminent domain to condemn people's homes? • There is no plan to remove all of the existing housing in the North Harrington Redevelopment Core. • If the City were to adopt a Community Renewal Plan, it MAY be interested in working with property owners willing to sell their properties and participate in the redevelopment process. • The vision for redevelopment will only occur in a timely fashion if several parcels can be assembled and be redeveloped in larger chunks. • If an area is declared "blighted," the City could use the tool of eminent domain under the Washington Community Renewal Act to buy individual properties at fair market value. No decision has been made to use this tool and it requires separate decisions by the City Council. 5 Revised May 3, 2006 • This would only be used as a last resort after all efforts to consolidate property through the private marketplace are exhausted, and then, only if a specific property were essential to redevelopment. • Each property acquired through the use of eminent domain would require a separate process, establishment of fair market value, and City Council action. If my property were condemned, where would I live? The redevelopment envisioned for the Highlands cannot succeed without creating new housing options for existing residents. The City would work with the Renton Housing Authority and other non-profit affordable housing providers to create a variety of attractive and affordable housing options. Existing residents would have the first opportunity to take advantage of these new opportunities. CONSOLIDATION OF PROPERTY Why does the City support consolidation of property? Larger pieces of property will be easier to develop. The proposed zoning standards create an incentive to consolidate land through a density bonus. In the future, the City MAY have an interest in buying property in the Highlands so that parcels of property can be consolidated for redevelopment. However, redevelopment of individual parcels could occur under proposed zoning without any consolidation, and without any use of the Community Renewal Act. DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE I received some information about an environmental determination of non- significance. What was that about? Any time the City makes a change in its zoning regulations, it must review the changes to determine what the environmental impacts might be. The analysis compares existing zoning rules with proposed zoning rules. At this stage, the action before the City is only the change in rules, not the actual development of property. These notices provide basic information about the determination and alert the public that the City is asking for public comments. How can the City say that the redevelopment of the Highlands is "non- significant?" The use of the term "non-significant" has a technical meaning and in no way indicates that the redevelopment of portions of the Highlands is not meaningful to the City. The City's Environmental Review Committee made a determination that the proposed change in zoning regulations does not have a significant effect on the environment, and does not require preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Additional environmental review would occur when actual development of property occurs. OPTIONS FOR REDEVELOPMENT Why can't the City just fix the physical or health problems in the Highlands? • Many of the problems can only be addressed through voluntary compliance of the property owner. • In 2003, the King County Health Department sent letters to the neighborhood about potential asbestos, lead-based paint, and indoor air 6 Revised May 3, 2006 quality hazards in many homes. Even though they offered free home assessments, only three property owners participated. • The City can only address other issues, such as junk in the yard, when it becomes bad enough to be a "nuisance," as defined by City Code. • The Washington State Constitution prevents the City from entering homes to inspect conditions. Why doesn't the City just assign more police to the area? • The City has already dedicated several police officers to the area. • There is already a disproportionate amount of resources devoted to crime in the Highlands. • As long as the physical conditions of the neighborhood reflect neglect, non- intentional or otherwise, criminals will view the Highlands as a good place to do business. Why can't we just let the free market redevelop the Highlands? • The Highlands has been in a slow decline for many years and redevelopment has not occurred, despite the fact that the existing zoning on many properties already allows a substantial increase in density. • Market analysis shows that some property owners can make more money renting dilapidated property than they can from investing in high-quality redevelopment, and since more than 60% of the existing units in the Highlands Subarea are rentals, many owners do not have an incentive to improve conditions. Without City intervention, there will be fewer and fewer affordable rental units as property values rise and rents increase. What will happen to the people who live in the area today if redevelopment occurs? • It is the policy of the City Council to increase the amount of affordable housing in the community. • A coordinated redevelopment effort will allow the City to work with the Renton Housing Authority and other non-profit affordable housing providers to create new, higher quality replacement housing that will remain affordable over time and allow current residents to have first priority for new housing. " • The City's current policies would require replacement and expansion in the numbers of affordable housing units by 30%. • A coordinated redevelopment effort may also allow existing property owners to swap their land for newly constructed units. • Existing residents will be given the first opportunities to move into new subsidized developments that are safer, higher quality, and possibly more affordable than their existing homes. OPTION A & OPTION B There has been talk in the community about "Option A" and "Option B;" what are these options? Two possible implementation strategies were presented to the City Council during its March 2006 workshop. Both strategies start with rezoning consistent with the Land Use Vision for the area. 7 Revised May 3, 2006 • "Option A" implements the revised zoning by utilizing the Community Renewal Act. This would bring about improvement of the poor physical, social, and economic conditions in the area more quickly through a coordinated redevelopment effort where parcels are combined into larger pieces for redevelopment and creation of higher quality, safer, permanently affordable housing. • "Option B" implements the revised zoning incrementally, pursues code enforcement, and allows market forces to eventually redevelop the area. Existing conditions would persist until piecemeal redevelopment occurs. Development would occur on smaller parcels and affordable housing would be harder to achieve as individual parcels redevelop. Affordable housing would tend to be lost over time due to gentrification. Are "Option A" and "Option B" related to the land use concepts on display at the Highlands Planning Open House Last Fall? No. Those land use concepts were completely different from the Council discussion on redevelopment strategies. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT It seems like the City is moving too fast in its planning efforts. • The City adopted the essential Vision for the Center Village in the Highlands in 1993, although it was then called "Center Suburban." • The City began studying redevelopment of the Highlands in 2000. • In 2000, the City expanded the Center Village land use designation, but redevelopment did not happen. • The City began a new approach in late 2004, and has been studying and working on the Highlands Redevelopment Initiative ever since. • All property owners were invited to participate in this new planning effort in Spring 2005. • At this time, the results of the City's planning efforts are being released for public review through a series of public meetings. What public input has there been into the City's recent work on the Highlands Subarea so far? • The City sent all property owners in the Highlands a survey about potential redevelopment in Spring 2005. • In Summer 2005, the City invited property owners to a series of focus groups. • In November 2005, the City held a public Open House at the Highlands Community Center. • From January 2006 through April 2006, the Planning Commission held public meetings on Subarea planning and zoning. • Residents and property owners have been sent several notices by the City, inviting comment on the development moratorium, the environmental review for the proposed zoning changes, and public hearings for the proposed zoning changes. 8 Revised May 3, 2006 Why did the City enact a development moratorium for The Highlands? • The City enacted a moratorium on development because the existing zoning is not consistent with the vision established in the Comprehensive Plan. • The moratorium gave the City time to figure out how best to achieve redevelopment and revitalization of the neighborhood. Under the rules of the moratorium, property owners can remodel, clean up, and otherwise improve existing structures. However, they cannot subdivide, expand, or build new units. When does the moratorium end? The moratorium is scheduled to expire May 14, 2006, unless extended by the City Council. How can I get involved in the Highlands planning effort? • Attend Planning Commission and City Council meetings where the Highlands Subarea is an agenda topic. • All property owners are sent notices when required by state or local law, such as a Notice of Application when a project begins environmental review or when a public hearing is held to collect input. • If you wish to receive notification of project milestones, you should contact Judith Subia (below) to be added to the parties of record list for the Highlands Subarea.

The City is also considering rezoning parts of the Highlands to implement the "Center Village" by encouraging low-density suburban land use to evolve over time into a compact higher density urban residential village. This is the only action that is currently before the City Council. Another idea that has been suggested is utilization of tools provided in the Washington State Community Renewal Act. This law gives local government the authority to stimulate redevelopment by purchasing property from willing sellers at fair market value, providing relocation assistance, and in limited cases, using eminent domain to acquire property through condemnation. No decision has been made to use this tool, and there is no plan developed that calls for its use. There are many arguments for and against this idea. The Council will consider whether to use this tool in the coming months, and make a decision only after a full public participation process. May 2, 2006 • Get Involved!

The requested vacation area is approximately 163' in length and 10' in width and is shown on the accompanying map exhibit. SUMMARY: A vacation petition was received on February 24, 2006, from Matt Weber on behalf of JDA Group LLC and I.D. Kline Corporation, LLC. City Code requires that more than two-thirds (2/3) of the owners whose property abuts the right-of-way to be vacated must sign the petition. One-hundred percent (100%) of the abutting property owners have signed this petition. The portion of right-of-way included in this petition was dedicated as a walkway in the plat of the Woody Glen Addition on September 26, 1950. City-owned facilities in the area of this vacation petition include an 8" sewer main and a 12" water line. Additionally, this right-of-way area has been previously identified as part of a stormwater drainage corridor. As previously stated by the Community Services Department, this right-of-way is not identified as part of any trail system. The petitioner plans to use the requested vacation area in the future development of the adjacent parcels. Although the vacation petition for the remaining portion of this walkway (portion directly adjacent to NW 6th Street) has not been finalized, on April 18, 2005, the City Council gave conditional approval for vacation petition VAC-05-002. Thus, provided the petitioner completes the final steps, the west portion of this walkway will be vacated by the City. As established by RCW 35.79.030, the vacation petition, if granted, must be approved by the City Council through ordinance after a public hearing is held. The City shall rnive receive compensation in accordance with RCW 35.79.030 for the vacated right-of-way. The ordinance shall be recorded with King County once it is in effect.

Michele Neumann - RE: City of Renton ROW Vacation (VAC06-001) Page 1 • From: "Matt Weber" <Mweber©AHBL.com> To: "Karen McFarland" <KMcFarland©ci.renton.wa.us> Date: 5/8/2006 5:31:48 PM Subject: RE: City of Renton ROW Vacation (VAC06-001) Hi Karen: I apologize for not being at the meeting, but following is a brief synopsis of the vacation request on behalf of the applicant (JDA Group, LLC): The property being vacated is a narrow strip of right-of-way, 10 feet in width, originally set up as a pedestrian walkway connecting Rainier Avenue to NW 6th Street. The right-of-way has never been used as a pedestrian walkway as it contains steep slopes. Furthermore, a large portion of the walkway has already been vacated previously by City Council (from NW 6th Street to the western boundary of Rainier Station). Therefore, this request will complete the walkway vacation in its entirety. Rainier Station is a proposed commercial development adjacent to Rainier Avenue which has recently received Hearing Examiner approval. This vacation request is one of the conditions of the Hearing Examiner approval of Rainier Station. The City will realize a benefit by this vacation in that it will be relieved of liability in having a pedestrian walkway which is not needed, does not go anywhere, and contains steep slopes. The City will also realize a benefit by this vacation in that it will relieve a constraint on the abutting parcels and allow the development of Rainier Station which will provide a tax benefit to the City. The applicant agrees with the conditions recommended by staff and will work with staff to ensure that existing utilities within the vacated area (and adjacent utility easement) are protected during development of Rainier Station. Karen, please call me on my cell phone (253-208-4465) if you have any questions or need additional information. Thanks again, Matt Weber, PE AHBL, Inc.

PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Development Services Report,examining available information on file with the application, field checking the property and surrounding area; the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: MINUTES The following minutes are a summary of the March 21, 2006 hearing. The legal record is recorded on CD. The hearing opened on Tuesday,March 21, 2006,at approximately 9:01 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Renton City Hall. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit No. 1: Yellow file containing the original Exhibit No.2: Preliminary Plat Plan application,proof of posting,proof of publication and other documentation pertinent to this request.

The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Keri Weaver, Senior Planner, Development Services, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way,Renton,Washington 98055. The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval for a 13-lot subdivision on a 2.38-acre site located at 1002 Hoquiam Avenue NE for the eventual development of single-family residences. The site is zoned Residential 8 units per acre(R-8). The site is currently vacant. Access to Lot 1 will be via Hoquiam Avenue NE by private driveway. Access of Lots 2—13 will be via an extension of NE 10th Street along the southern boundary of the plat. There is a gentle southeast slope with an average grade of 5%. Vegetation consists of evergreen and deciduous trees,brush,grass and landscaping shrubbery. On-site cut and grading was proposed in the amount of 20,000 cubic yards. The applicant has applied for an administrative street standards modification to reduce the right-of-way width of the extension of NE 10th Street from 50-feet down to 42-feet. Future development of NE 10 Street will also be 42-feet wide. Development Services approved this modification. A modification was also allowed to replace the required 5-foot landscaping strip between the back of the curb and the front of the sidewalk with the sidewalk located in the utility and sidewalk easement on the front 10-feet of all lots facing NE 10th Street. The approval was conditioned requiring that any proposed lot fencing will be at least two feet from the sidewalk and the sidewalk area to be landscaped. The Wedgewood homeowners association will be responsible for the maintenance of that landscaping. A conceptual landscape plan was submitted showing two street trees per lot. A detailed landscape plan will be required in the event a bioswale area is required. The applicant will also be required to provide a tree inventory and tree retention plan. The Examiner inquired as to why these plans were not available now and if it should be available prior to his approving lot arrangement and the number of trees that will be removed. Ms. Weaver stated that this is a fairly new requirement for preliminary plats. It appears that there is sufficient information in this case, trees have already been removed,there are a few remaining trees. These plans have been required as a plat condition. The applicant provided a tree-clearing plan that showed the entire site to be cleared,so in this case a tree inventory was not required. Staff does not agree with that. The Examiner felt it was appropriate to know what was being removed and cleared and what was being protected. Also, he inquired as to why so much grading was being done on site. Ms. Weaver stated that the applicant proposed to convey storm water from the site to the existing detention pond,known as Pond A located on the site of the Wedgewood III plat,with revisions to accommodate the additional storm water volumes that are anticipated. For this application,a separate drainage analysis was provided to demonstrate that with minor modifications the pond could also accommodate additional sufficient capacity for the runoff resulting from Wedgewood V. sad If the water quality and detention facilities are designed in accordance with 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual, Level 2 the potential impacts of the development will be adequately mitigated and will not affect other properties. Wedgewood Lane(Div 5)Preliminary Plat File No.:LUA-05-166,ECF, PP April 11,2006 Page 3 `444rr The ERC issued a Determination of Non-Significance—Mitigated with 8 mitigation measures. There were no appeals. Staff did revise Condition 2 to read as follows: "The applicant shall provide a detailed landscape plan that shows proposed landscaping,including street trees for all street frontages and setback areas. If a bioswale is necessary to meet the water quality treatment requirements of the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual, Level 2, for the proposed plat,the bioswale area shall also be landscaped. Satisfaction of these requirements shall be subject to review and approval of the Development Services Division prior to recording of the final plat." If the bioswale is needed, it could be on the subject site or on the Wedgewood III site._ The net density for this plat is 6.1 du/acre, which is consistent with the required density range for the R-8 zone. The proposed lots comply with the lot dimension and size requirements for the R-8 zone. Compliance with setback and building standards will be verified prior to the issuance of individual building permits. The proposed building pads appear to be adequately sized for the provision of the required parking stalls. All lot corners at intersections of dedicated public rights-of-way have a minimum radius of 15 feet. Fire and Traffic and Park mitigation fees have been imposed on this plat. `fir✓ The site is located within the boundaries of the Renton School District and they have indicated that they can handle the proposed new students. Water and Sanitary Sewer will be provided by the City of Renton. Patrick Gilroy,LandTrust,Inc., 1560 140th Avenue NE, Ste. 100,Bellevue, WA 98005 stated that he is the applicant for this application. The water to the site is actually being provided by Water District 90 and not the City of Renton. The engineer for this project is not concerned about the requirement for a bioswale, the pond that was designed for Division III is a water quality and water retention pond and there is enough space and capacity to provide for both Division N and V. Pond A is taking on the drainage for the entire site, all five divisions of Wedgewood Lane. It was originally designed for Divisions I-III, as well as taking on the plat of Aspenwood,to the west of Division III. Aspenwood has decided to go their own way, so there is additional capacity in Pond A to accommodate Division IV and Division V. The possibility of increasing the surface area of the pond to create additional capacity for Division V,that has been submitted to City Staff for review and they have not received comments back. The wall option is a 2-foot concrete wall and it is not over-imposing on the site. There is a sufficient amount of landscaping in the design to hide that wall if necessary. The Examiner inquired about an agreement between LandTrust,Inc. and Mrs. Anderson. Mr. Gilroy stated that the agreement between LandTrust and Mrs.Anderson involves her concern about the grade difference between her property and the proposed site. There should not be a great difference between Division V and the Anderson property. They have outlined agreements for fencing and wall if necessary to protect her property. Wedgewood Lane(Div 5)Preliminary Plat File No.:LUA-05-166, ECF, PP April 11,2006 Page 4 ,4010 There was a survey that was submitted with the property,the survey showed all the trees on the property and a land-clearing plan was submitted subsequent to that survey. Angeline Anderson,5300 NE 10th Street,Renton,WA 98059 stated that she is in favor of the development. There are no issues with the developing going in,however,when the Brookfield development went in,there was nothing done to prevent them from raising the level of the ground between the plat and her property. Mr.Gilroy has agreed to accommodate her needs and build a fence or whatever may be necessary to protect her property. She did have an additional concern with her driveway and the fact that it could be lower than the new homes and drainage could cause water to puddle in her driveway. The only trees that are on the site are bordering her property and she would like to keep the very large cedar tree that is on her property line. Renee Korsmo Engbaum, 5424 NE 10th Street,Renton,WA 98059 stated that she had been checking with the Clerk's office and she could find no reference to Wedgewood Lane IV, she would like to know what is going on with that plat. She was told that that plat had been approved and gone through the system as Cambridge or under a different name. The only name the City Clerk could find would possibly be Rutledge-Bent Nose. They were discouraged that they could not get into the platting process for that development. She is not opposed to the Wedgewood Lane V development but does have some concerns and questions for the record. There are five Wedgewood properties and presume that there will be one homeowner's association for all the properties,she would like to have that clarified. Who is going to be responsible for the wording in the Nis homeowner's association documents regarding the storm water systems and pond maintenance? Her property fronts Wedgewood Lane III to the east and is one acre and a quarter of land. Honey Creek flows through the Category 3 wetland and drains into Honey Creek,which runs through her property. They are on the low side and drainage will be flowing towards them out of Pond A. The storm water system and pond maintenance is crucial for her. If the systems fail,back up,or not maintained,not only is their property jeopardized but NE 10th Street as well will have problems. She is definitely against increasing the depth of the Pond. Patrick Gilroy stated that Division IV was processed as the Rutledge-Bent Nose plat around this time last year. Public notices would have been sent out for the hearing. The property changed hands several times before he became involved in the project and it was connected to the Wedgewood properties. One HOA will be prepared for all five divisions of Wedgewood Lane. All five divisions will be responsible and the document will be quite complex concerning the landscaping,alleyways, roads,and the pond. The fmal document will be part of the final plat process. The east wall of the pond that has been constructed so far is not complete,there will be more construction and height added to that wall in order to make it the correct height per the design. All the leaching and sloughing concerns have been addressed. There was some discussion between Patrick Gilroy and Renee Engbaum regarding the options for the pond. od Kayren Kittrick,Development Services stated that the project manager had not completed the review of the '` pond and surrounding areas. In Wedgewood Lane Division III there are actually two ponds. Lots 30-35 of Wedgewood III back onto the largest pond. It feeds into the wetlands and the Honey Creek stream. The fact that Aspenwoods has its own facility did open up some space in the pond. The net square footages are less for • Wedgewood Lane(Div 5)Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-166, ECF, PP April 11,2006 Page 5 the Wedgewood IV and V together than what Aspenwoods would have contributed,it should accommodate the new divisions,but is has not been proven. In order to expand the pond, the wall would have to be moved five feet to the west. Development Services is currently studying if there is enough space on the adjacent lots to move the wall five feet or just how this will be handled. The preference is that it not be on an easement but on it's own parcel. If it is found that the capacity is not sufficient,then they would move to Division V and remove a couple of lots. Under the preliminary plat for Wedgewood III, it was sized specifically to be area-wide, it was supposed to take off of NE 10th,the new street, and the Aspenwoods development,all of that was supposed to be coming into this one facility. It was being treated as a regional facility. There has always been the latitude or requirement that once the construction drawings have been submitted and the actual final design,which accommodates conditions from the hearing, conditions from other jurisdictions,in this case it appeared that with preliminary calculations the facility would go in Division III. If the surface were not sufficient,then they would have to put in a water quality bioswale. That is very minimal, it can be put into the landscaping and would meet the additional surface square footage that would be necessary. Patrick Gilroy showed pictures of what the concrete wall might look like. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at approximately 10:14 a.m. FINDINGS,CONCLUSIONS&RECOMMENDATION 404.10 Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant,Patrick Gilroy, Land Trust,Inc., filed a request for a Preliminary Plat. 2. The yellow file containing the staff report,the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit#1. 3. The Environmental Review Committee(ERC),the City's responsible official issued a Determination of Non-Significance-Mitigated(DNS-M). 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. 5. The subject site is located at 1002 Hoquiam Avenue NE. The subject site is located on the east side of Hoquiam. A new easterly extension of NE 10th Street will run along the subject site's south property line. 6. The currently vacant lot is 2.38 acres in area. The subject site is approximately 631 feet deep(east to west)by 164 wide(Hoquiam frontage). 7. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of single-family uses,but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. 8. The subject site is currently zoned R-8(Single Family-8 dwelling units/acre). 9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 4918 enacted in October 2001. • Wedgewood Lane(Div 5)Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-166, ECF,PP April 11,2006 Page 6 10. The subject site is surrounded by R-8 Zoning to the north, west and south. R-4(single family;4 units per acre)Zoning is east of the site. Mostly single family uses or undeveloped parcels surround the subject site with Hazen High School located west of the site, across Hoquiam. 11. The subject site slopes at an average grade of approximately 5 percent toward the east. 12. Staff reports that there are evergreen and deciduous trees,brush, grass and landscaping materials on the site with more dense plant materials located on the western portion of the site. Plans submitted by the applicant on December 23,2005 show all trees being removed. Staff has recommended that a tree inventory and retention plan be submitted prior to construction permits being issued. That appears to be late in the process when lot layouts might preclude working around significant trees. 13. The applicant proposes dividing the subject site into thirteen lots. Proposed Lots 2 to 13 will be aligned along the north side of the newly extended NE 10th Street. These lots would be oriented south to north and Proposed Lot 2 would be a corner lot at the intersection of Hoquiam and 10th. Proposed Lot 1 would deviate from this pattern and it would be oriented east to west. It would take access strictly from Hoquiam and would be located north of the rear yards of Proposed Lots 2 and 3. 14. The proposed lots range in size from 4,729 square feet to 7,905 square feet. 15. Access to the site will be provided by a through road,NE 10th Street,which will run from Hoquiam on the west across to an existing stub road on the east. After approval of a modification granted by staff, the road will be a 42-foot right-of-way. The sidewalk and required landscaping, subject to an additional modification,will be within an easement across the front of the lots. 16. The density for the plat would be 6.1 dwelling units per acre. 17. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate approximately 5 or 6 school age children. These students would be spread across the grades and would be assigned on a space available basis. 18. The development will increase traffic approximately 10 trips per unit or approximately 130 trips for the 13 single-family homes. Approximately ten percent of the trips,or approximately 13 additional peak hour trips will be generated in the morning and evening. 19. Stormwater would be contained on a Tract,Pond A,on separate property being developed by the applicant southeast of the subject site. Pond A is located on Division III of the Wedgewood development and was designed to serve Divisions I, II,and III. The pond was not originally designed with capacity to serve the subject site. A review found it could serve Division IV which is located south of the subject site. The pond may need to be enlarged. The review found the pond could provide proper capacity if it were either widened to the west or if a two-foot concrete wall were constructed along the berm. The ERC required the project meet the 2005 King County Manual's Level 2 for water quality and detention. The ERC also specifically required that any alteration of the pond must maintain its landscaping and trail appearance and functions be preserved. Staff did indicate that one detention system probably would be a better solution than a series of smaller ones serving the individual plats 20. Neighbors are concerned about potential drainage issues if the pond were to malfunction. Staff believes ,4100 that there is sufficient capacity to handle the flows. There was also concern about grade differences at the boundary of the subject site and it appears that the applicant will work with adjoining property owners on this issue. Wedgewood Lane(Div 5)Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-166,ECF, PP April 11,2006 Page 7 *o"" 21. Sewer will be provided by the City and Water District 90 will provide water service. Staff reports that there is adequate capacity for these utilities. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proposed plat, in the main,appears to serve the public use and interest. Creating additional building lots in a growing urban area that has access to sewer and water utilities is appropriate according to the comprehensive plan. At the same time,the applicant made changes to the proposal that while more efficient in some respects generates questions in the area of stormwater control. In addition,a tree retention plan designating 25%of the trees to be retained was not available for review at the hearing. 2. Rather than contain stormwater on the limited property involved in this application it will be conveyed to an offsite location. The Pond A on Wedgewood Division III was not designed to accommodate the additional stormwater,particularly,after it was determined that it could handle stormwater from Phase 4,also,not originally anticipated. The pond may have to be enlarged to accommodate Division V. Two solutions were offered to enlarge the pond to handle the additional water. One would increase the pond along its western edge and another would require a concrete wall approximately 2 feet high. The ERC required that the expansion preserve the natural appearance and a trail. The applicant should expand the pond laterally rather than increasing its depth by constructing a concrete wall which would be less than natural. In addition,a bioswale may be necessary on the subject site to treat the stormwater. 3. The applicant needs to provide both a tree plan at this stage of review and elect which trees to protect to accommodate the staff recommendation to preserve 25%of the trees. Leaving submission and details until construction permits are requested will result in less than thorough analysis. The applicant will *tome have to submit those plans before this office will forward the matter for City Council review. 4. The development of the plat will increase the traffic and population in this area. Both of those impacts were anticipated when the comprehensive plan as well as the zoning was adopted for this area. Area roads can accommodate the additional traffic and the applicant will be paying fees to offset those impacts. Park fees will help accommodate the additional population in nearby parks. 5. The development of the subject site will provide additional single family housing choices while retaining some of the natural amenities of the site.The rectangular lots and access are appropriate. 6. In conclusion, the proposed plat, subject to the conditions noted below, should be approved by the City Council. RECOMMENDATIONS: The City Council should approve the proposed plat subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall comply with the conditions imposed by the ERC. 2. The applicant shall provide stormwater retention in Pond A at Wedgewood Division III. If it becomes necessary to enlarge the pond, it should be enlarged along the western edge and otherwise comply with the conditions imposed by the ERC. 3. The applicant shall develop a bioswale on the subject site if one is required by storm drainage requirements. 4. The applicant shall provide a detailed landscape plan that shows proposed landscaping,including street trees for all street frontages and setback areas. If a bioswale is necessary to meet the water quality Wedgewood Lane(Div 5)Preliminary Plat File No.: LUA-05-166, ECF, PP April 11,2006 Page 8 treatment requirements of the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual,Level 2, for the proposed plat,the bioswale area shall also be landscaped. Satisfaction of these requirements shall be subject to review and approval of the Development Services Division prior to recording of the final plat. 5. The applicant shall provide a tree inventory and tree retention plan to this office and to the Development Services Division for review and approval prior to the plat going to the City Council. The plan must show preservation of at least 25%of trees with a minimum diameter of 8"(evergreen)or 12" (deciduous)when measured 4 feet above grade,and indicate how proposed building footprints would be sited. The following species are exempted from the retention requirements outside of critical areas: a. All Populus species including cottonwood(Populus trichocarpa),quaking aspen(Populus tremuloides), Lombardy poplar(Populus nigra"Italica"),etc. b. All Alnus species which includes red alder(Alnus oregona),black alder(Alnus glutinosa), white alder(Alnus rhombifolia),etc. c. Salix species which includes weeping willow(Salix babylonica),etc.,unless along a stream bank and away from paved areas. d. All Platanus species which include London plant tree(Platanus acerifolia),American sycamore, buttonwood(Platanus occidentalis),etc. 6. The applicant shall comply with the conditions of the approved modification for street width reduction and landscaping/sidewalk placement,dated March 13,2006.

This grant funding will pay for producing a map that identifies a bicycle network in the City of Renton with connections leading into and out of the City. The project will perform public outreach in various forms to educate the public on using the bicycle routes in the safest manner. This is an effort to develop an urban trail system to accommodate bicyclists and to facilitate bicycling as a viable transportation choice. No City match is required to be reimbursed for the $100,000 in grant funding. However, the Transportation Division may include items not specified in the grant, and, therefore, has included an additional $20,000 to cover these items. The Community Services Department has also expressed an interest in coordinating efforts and contributing funds for additional items. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve an interlocal agreement with the Washington State Department of Transportation(WSDOT) and all subsequent WSDOT grant agreements necessary for a$100,000 Federal Transportation Enhancement grant for the Renton Bicycle Route Connection Plan and adopt the resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement.

RECOMMENDATION: Approve an interlocal agreement with the Washington State Department of Transportation(WSDOT) and all subsequent WSDOT grant agreements necessary for a $100,000 Federal Transportation Enhancement grant for the Renton Bicycle Route Connection Plan and adopt the resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement. BACKGROUND: The WSDOT Secretary of Transportation approved the Renton Bicycle Route Connection Plan for a Federal Transportation Enhancement grant of$100,000 (see attached letter, March 9, 2006). This grant funding will pay for producing a map that identifies a bicycle network in the City of Renton with connections leading into and out of the City. The project will perform public outreach in various forms to educate the public on using the bicycle routes in the safest manner. This is an effort to develop an urban trail system to accommodate bicyclists and to facilitate bicycling as a viable transportation choice. err Renton Bicycle Route Connection Plan May 8,2006 Page 2 No City match is required to be reimbursed for the $100,000 in grant funding. However, the Transportation Division may include items not specified in the grant, and,therefore, has included an additional $20,000 to cover these items. The Community Services Department has also expressed an interest in joining Transportation's efforts and contributing funds for additional items. This will be coordinated. The focus of the project is the production of the map. To this end,the City will identify map elements,preferred routes, and connections. The map key will contain elements such as shared use path, arterial street or non-arterial street commonly used by bicyclists, bicycle lanes,pedestrian pathways where bicycles are permitted, and indicators for trails or streets with steeper grades. The map may also include elements such as one-way streets, bus ride-free areas,routes to transit centers and Sounder Commuter Rail Station, park-and-ride lots, and signed bike routes. Map notes may include information on bus routes since all Sound Transit and Metro buses are equipped with bike racks, and possibly gap distances if no route is identified. One differentiating note of what is not allowed in this grant is any planning effort to identify and prioritize needed projects. The state has made it very clear during the application process that this responsibility lies with the City and grant funds may not be used on this activity.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: The City and the Washington State Department of Transportation are working together to establish the Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank on approximately 131 acres of City-owned land in the Renton Green River Valley area. The properties contain easements and restrictions that if exercised would result in disturbance to the Wetland Bank site and conflict with the purpose of the Wetland Bank. The agencies that have to approve the Wetland Bank are requiring that all unnecessary easements and restrictions be released. The Sundry Site Plan Agreement includes the work of preparing the land rights map that identifies all easements and restrictions on the properties and the preparation of a Lot Line Adjustment Map. The Lot Line Adjustment Map will be used to remove unnecessary lot lines and release unneeded easements and restrictions, which will require Council approval. The City would be responsible for funding fifty-percent of the cost($12,825) associated with the preparation of the Lot Line Adjustment Map(Task B). WSDOT will be funding the other 50%of Task B ($12,825)and 100%of Task A, the Land Rights Map ($23,168). WSDOT has contracted with INCA Engineers, Inc.,to complete this work. The approved adjusted Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement budget for the Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank project is $181,000 and has sufficient funding for the cost associated with this agreement. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign the Springbrook Creek Wetland Bank Site Sundry Site Plan Agreement(GCA 4847)with the Washington State Department of Transportation.

RECOMMENDATION: Execute the proposed Springbrook Creek Wetland Bank Sundry Site Plan Agreement with the Washington State Department of Transportation, in the amount of$12,825. BACKGROUND: The City and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) are working together to establish the Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank on 131 acres of City-owned property located in the Renton valley, west of SR-167 and south of I-405. The properties contain easements and other restrictions that encumber the land, preventing its use as a mitigation bank. The agencies that have the authority to approve the bank have required that any credit-generating areas of the bank must be free and clear of all encumbrances. This requires that all unnecessary easements and restrictions be removed. The Sundry Site Plan Agreement includes the work of preparing the Land Rights Map (Task A) that identifies all easements and restrictions on the Bank properties and the preparation of a Lot Line Adjustment Map (Task B), which will show the consolidation of existing lots and the removal of unneeded easements and other restrictions, which actions require Council approval. WSDOT has contracted with INCA Engineers, Inc., to Nre complete this work. Council/Sundry Site April 28,2006 Page 2 of 2 Under the agreement, the City will be responsible for funding fifty-percent of the cost associated with the preparation of the Lot Line Adjustment Map. The total cost to complete Task B is $25,650, so the City's share is $12,825. WSDOT will be funding the other 50% of Task B ($12,825) and 100% of Task A ($23,168). The approved adjusted 2006 Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement budget (427 Fund) for the Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank project is $181,000 and has sufficient funding for the cost associated with this agreement. CONCLUSION: The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Springbrook Creek Wetland Bank Sundry Site Plan Agreement with WSDOT to complete the Land Rights Map and Lot Line Adjustment Map. The City's share of the costs to complete the work described in the agreement is $12,825.

WSDOT has agreed to reimburse the City for 50% (approximately$43,422) of the design contract cost. After completion of the design contract and development of the construction cost estimate for the project, the Water Utility will be coming back to Council to request the approval of funding for the construction phase. WSDOT has agreed to share 50%of the construction cost.

RECOMMENDATION: Approve the consultant agreement and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the contract, in the total amount of$86,644.00, with HDR Engineering, Inc., to design the relocation of the water line at Benson Road South and I-405 overpass. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: As part of the I-405 improvements, WSDOT is planning to realign and replace the existing Benson Road overpass across I-405, and to construct stormwater detention and treatment facilities along Benson Road South. The City currently owns and operates a 16-inch water line in Benson Road South, which also crosses under I-405. The City's water line will be in conflict with the new overpass structure, piers, and storm water facilities. The City is required under the conditions of the utility franchise permit with WSDOT to relocate, at the City's cost, the section of the water line under I-405. WSDOT is responsible to pay for the relocation of the portion of the City's water line Council/Design Water Line Benson April 21,2006 Page 2 of 2 that is located outside of their right-of-way, but that will be impacted by the new overpass. Ned The City and the WSDOT I-405 design team and utility task force have identified an alignment for the new water line that will avoid the new overpass. At the City's request, WSDOT has agreed to pay for 50%of the costs associated with the design engineering, construction, and contract administration for the relocation of the water line. The City will manage the design and construction contracts for the project in order to complete the construction of the water line ahead of WSDOT's construction of the new overpass, scheduled for late 2007. The Water Utility selected HDR Engineering, Inc., from the approved 2006 Utility Systems Annual Consultant Roster, to perform the design of the water line relocation due to their familiarity and involvement with WSDOT on the overall I-405 project. Funding for the design contract for this project is available from the Water Utility 2006 Capital Improvement Program budget for water main replacement(account no. 425.000500.018.5960.0034.65.0551700). The City and WSDOT will execute formal utility agreements for the 50/50 cost-sharing split for the design contract and for the construction contract of the project. After the completion of the design contract,the Water Utility will come back to Council with the construction cost estimate and will request Council's approval of funding for the construction of the project, anticipated in the fall and winter of 2006. WSDOT has agreed to share 50% of the construction cost. CONCLUSION: In an effort to meet WSDOT's schedule to replace the I-405 /Benson Road overpass in late 2007, and also to comply with the terms of the utility franchise agreement with WSDOT, the City needs to proceed with the design for the relocation of the water line. Council's approval of the consultant agreement with HDR Engineering Inc. will allow the project to be designed in a timely manner to meet the I-405 project schedule.

Grady Way and 1-405. The relocation of the water line is needed to accommodate WSDOT's planned improvements to 1-405 and associated ramps and facilities. Based on a preliminary assessment by the City and WSDOT's 1-405 Utility Task Force and Design Team, the new (relocated)water main would connect to an existing 12-inch looped main at the SW corner of the Sam's Club store near S. Grady Way and extend south on Talbot Road S. (SR-515)approximately 1710 LF and tie-in to an existing 16- inch main in Talbot Road S. south of 1-405. This new main would be located on the east side of Talbot Road, parallel to the existing 24-inch main on the west side of Talbot Road. A new connecting main approximately of 140 LF would also be required between the 12-inch water line on the NE corner of Sam's Club and the existing 16-inch line in Benson Road South on the west side of 1-405. The diameter of the new main would be 16 inches,which represents an in-kind replacement of the existing 16-inch main. Task 100 Pre Design Report Objective: Review water pipeline alignment alternatives, identify costs, schedules, and prepare a recommended final alignment and cost estimates. Approach: HDR will meet with City staff to review the proposed water main route, design criteria, and collect available data, standard details applicable to the Project. HDR will also meet with the City and WSDOT 1-405 design team to verify the alignment of proposed 1-405 roadway improvements and related structures and facilities, and to review water main alignment to avoid conflicts with future roadway improvements. Based on these discussions and information provided by the City and WSDOT, HDR will develop a predesign report to include the following: • Recommended water line alignment and route • Identification of other major utilities within the alignment • Identification of proposed 1-405 improvements and related structures and footprints from available data through coordination with WSDOT 1-405 design team • Applicable design codes and standards • Evaluation of need for corrosion protection and recommendation for pipe :,,l material to be used H:\File Sys\WTR- Drinking Water Utility\WTR-27-Water Project Files\WTR-27-Transportation Projects (TIP)1I-405 Corridor Study North Renton Project\Scope-of-work-HDR-contract-Renton- water-main-design-032706.doc • Placement of valves, hydrants, and connections to existing water system " • Preliminary design and construction cost estimates • Preliminary project schedule Deliverables: 1.

WHEREAS, the City of Renton has previously declared a moratorium on new development in the R-10 and RM-F zones within the Highlands' Sub-Area Plan Study Area; and WHEREAS, the City of Renton has expended substantial time and energy on its Comprehensive Land Use Plan and associated policies; and WHEREAS, the City of Renton has identified a study area for refinement of the Comprehensive Plan, with a Sub-Area Plan in the Renton Highlands to further its economic development objectives; and WHEREAS, the City of Renton has expended substantial funds developing a preliminary vision and evaluating market factors for redevelopment in the Highlands Study Area; and WHEREAS, the R-10 and RM-F zones are currently mapped on a number of properties within the Highlands Sub-Area Study Plan; and WHEREAS, the City has continued to expend time and money in drafting a zoning proposal for the Highlands Study Area to achieve higher density, quality infill development, and integrated development; and WHEREAS, the City has performed environmental review on proposals to change the zoning in the R-10 and RM-F zones within the Highlands' Sub-Area Plan Study area; and WHEREAS, an appeal has been filed by the Highlands Community Association from the Environmental Review Committee's declaration of non-significance for such zoning; and 1 RESOLUTION NO. WHEREAS, the City Council has received a recommendation to enact the proposed rezoning from the Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, it is necessary to extend the moratorium to provide adequate time to have a hearing on the appeal of Highlands Community Association, and receive a decision, before the Council takes final action; and WHEREAS, it is necessary to extend the moratorium to keep the status quo until the City Council can determine the best course of action and not allow development which may be contrary to zoning and development regulations which the Council may wish to adopt; and WHEREAS, platting of single family lots results in development which does not meet the density and use requirements of the Center Village Land Use Designation, and under current R-10 zoning does not meet quality development standards in the Community Design Element; and WHEREAS, single family detached uses are allowed in the R-10 zone but not in the RM-F zone; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I.

There is hereby declared an extended moratorium on the permitting or construction of single-family residential development or accessory uses, including grading permits, land clearing and tree cutting permits, building permits,plats, lot line adjustments, and site plan review entitlements in the R-10 with the Highlands Sub-area Plan Study Area, and building permits for normal maintenance activities for existing single family properties. Normal maintenance includes activities such as roofing permits, electrical and plumbing permits for 2 RESOLUTION NO. maintenance of existing structures. No permit will be granted that enlarges any existing residential or accessory use. The area of the extended moratorium is shown on the attached map. The purpose of this extended moratorium is to provide adequate time for the hearing and decision on the Highlands Community Association's appeal of the Declaration on Non- Significance adopted by the Environmental Review Committee, for the City Council to consider the recommendations of the Planning Commission, and for the City Council to make a decision about the appropriate zoning in the R-10 zone with the Highlands Sub-Area Plan Study area; and to maintain the status quo until those decisions can be made. The moratorium shall be in place for a period not to exceed six months, unless otherwise modified by the City Council, which period may be extended or renewed for one or more additional periods, but only if a subsequent public hearing is held, and findings of fact are made prior to each renewal, to support such renewal.
