As a result of this discussion, the Planning Commission would like to submit the following recommendations for your consider- ation in seeking a satisfactory solution regarding the vacation of these alleys: (1) No alley or alleys should be vacated unless there is 100% agreement for such vacation bythe adjoining property owners. (2) No alley should be vacated if it'is found unfeasible or impractical by the City Engineer's office. (3) Where alleys lead to a platted play area, at least one portion of the alley should not be vacated and should act as the public access to said playfield. We hope that these recommendations will be of help to you. Yours very y C. . Myer , Secreta CGM:isb.

Gentlemen: In my opinion the real issue before your honorable body in the fencing (ally) of Block 17 of the Highlands, City of Renton has been overlooked. The fact remains undisputable that they were dedicated by the United States government to the use of the people . Since we are a Democracy our government could not act otherwise. This Gentlemen , is the American Way of life and for it men have fought and died. The fencing of the alley of Block 17 is not a matter of personal interests nor are the peoples of it Charlie McCarthy' s through whom the voice of individual interests speaks : When the homes of Block 17 were purchased , each buyer knew the liabilities and assets of his property. Because I find myself in a most strange position I am calling to your attention the fact that from a child ' s first month, in the public schools they are trained in the way of active citizenship--- they are taught to share and to put aside personal interests for the welfare of the group . I am in no way inferring that the persons who pressed and presented the petition are not good citizens . I think they are , but, I do be] ieve that they were unconscious of the Democratic principle involved and therefor abstracted and projected incorrectly. I am respectfully asking you Gentlemen, that my signature be withdrawn on the petition for fencing the alley. . (Block 17) In appreciation of your cooperation Sincerely yours /s/ Jewel C . Perret P.S. I signed the alley fencing petition purely for• reasons of neighborhood harmony and since find myself in the position of failing to practice the principles of citizenship which I teach. In the Psychology of Personal Adjustment the mind must remain fluid (not static) . Only a fool or one mentally ill is incapable of such adjustment. To function scientifically the mind must be capable of changes as circumstances and standards make necessary. /s/ Jewel C .

' The following is a copy of, that letter. September ]2 , 1950 Mrs. Dorothy I. Howard 2513 '.7th Ave'. N. Renton, 2, Wash. Dear Mrs. Howard: You have made inquiry of this office ' as to the power' of the' City Council of Renton to temporarily close a platted alley and 'to. permit 'the" abutting owners ' to use the area of the .alley way until such-• time as the •property owners shall duly 'request that the alley be improved. ' You have also in- . quired as to whether both husband and wife, must sign the petition. We have called ,your'- attention 'to thefact that the attorney General' s office is restricted in rendering official opinions and advice: and that such opinions , and advice can only, be given to state officials, prosecuting attorneys , etc. In view of the situation as outlined by you? however, we call your . attention 'to the provisions of Section 9297, Remington' s ; Revised Statutes , relating to the vacation. of alleys by incorporated cities upon petition of the ' owners of more . than' two-thirds of the private'•property abutting any such alley. . This section of the statute ..sets out the procedural..steps to be followed in a vacation proceeding and the method .therein prescribed has been held exclusive by our courts. Seattle V.Hinckley, 67 Wash. 273, 279, 121 Pac.• 444. • We refer you to the cases of Peterson V. City of Seattle, 191 Wash. 587,. 71P (2D) :668, and Olsen V.Jacobs, 76P.

" • In the limited time available we have not found any cases relating to temporary closing .of a alley ways.'such as you indicate is contemplate.-, as distinguished . from a . final vacation, of the area as is provided in Section 9297 Supra. it has 'been held that there is no power 'to vacate a street for a fixed-. term of years. for the- benefit 'of, the abutters. II McQuillin Municipal Corporatioi, 126, Citing Glasgow V. St.Louis, 87 Mo. 678. In;view. of' the . fact,`that the" City. has° only such power to vacate streets and alley ways as the legislature has delegated to it under 'section 9297• of Remington' s Revised Statutes, it would appear that the City would., note;have; the power to close the alley • temporarily.'in= the::'manner you indicate is contemplated but could-'_ only';'make''a 'final- vacation of the :alley: as,,in said section .'provided• In'"any`such vacation, proceeding, '''as" ',to' abutting _. ; ;. .. property. ,owned:'by' husband':and`wife ,: the 'signature. of " the husband .as: manager, ,of the community, wouldbe':°:suf- ficient. .' .Fry;V.

A communication was read from property owners of Block117, Renton Highlands. Mrs. Sally Pitcher spoke on the question of vacation of the Alley in Block 17 stating that it was her opinion that the alley cannot be vacated. Mrs. Dorothy Howard spoke on the question of vacation of the Alley in Block 17 stating that it was her opinion that the alley could be vacated. After considerable discussion by members of the City Council, it was determined that the alley should not be closed, but if a proper petition, with the required number of signatures of property owners whose property is located on the alley in Block 17, is presented to the Council for improvement of said alley, the Council would consider the petition for improvement. The City Engineer stated that it would cost approximately 800 per foot, based on property frontage on the alley, for improvement of the alley in question. Moved by Richardson, seconded by Swift, that the meeting adjourn until the property owners, whose property is located on the alley in Block 17, bring in the proper petition to the Council for the improve- ment of said alley. Carried. Renton, Washington Washington May 6, 1950 A Special Council Hearing with the general public on matters relat- ing to petitions of vacancy for alleys in certain blocks of Renton Highlands Addition to the City of Renton.

Sally Pitcher stated_t.hat she had appeared before the Councilmen last Tuesday night and had informed them that t e_'p t .tion that was presented by Mrs.' Howard was attained by misrepresentatioh,� ceit and fatsr=155UZZEZZZ and added tonight duress; that there was no question how the signatures were obtained. She had informed Hugh Bruce that he did not have the signatures of 100% of the property owners abutting the alley. At 628 E. Street the property is owned by Mr. & Mrs. Hugh O'Neill who reside at 342 Whitworth, in Renton who are violently opposed to the vacating of the alley. She also has the name of another party who are opposed to blocking this alley by Mrs .& Mr. Howard and Mr. & Mrs. Langlois , the name of William F.Pederson who occupies the premises of 2421C 7th North in B1.17 abutting the alley. When he signed the petition, he signed with the understanding with Mrs. Howard that the alley was to be left opened, that is how that signature was obtained. Another piece of property at 661 G. Street, was a' terrible and gross miscar- riage of trouble--they are not sure when they wake up on Wednesday morning if they are able to get out of their yard. This woman is serving you gentle- men, instructing your children in school, her husband is almost incapacitated to the extend he is in utter misery to even walk. Mr.Howard went to their home on several occasions and by threats, misrepresentation, fraud and absolut deceit, obtained the signature, from those people. That is the petition you acted upon to close the alley. If you doubt the truth from all her statements if you question her veracity, that has never been questioned in a court of law or otherwise, ahe asked that the Councilmen confirm the facts to Mr. Wiley Crook, he can verify that they are tax payers, own their property and are legal voters. She is a registered voter, her husband is a legal voter and the O'Neill' s are registered voters. Neither the Howards nor the Langlois are registered voters. That the Councilmen are elected by the voters---who ' is running the town, someone off the street or someone who is paying the taxes. The Police Dept. is supposed to enforce the Ordinances enacted by the City. She stated that if the alley is vacated, there will be ho fire hydrants installed in the alley-- it is worthless---she understood unless there is a clear access , that they can not install a fire hydrant within an enclosure--- and when the alley is blocked off, no hydrant will be installed. She has an oil burner---she applied for a permit for the installation--she applied for and received a permit to build a fence around her property---property owners around her have not applied for a permit . .Mr.Denser, former bldg.Insp. gave and signed her building permit. Her understanding and knowledge of the law is the petition that was brought before the Council is a worthless petition according to Council Ordinance--in Renton a petition must be signed by both husband and wife or single property owner. The City Attorney will verify that fact. She respectfully asked this Council, that you gentlemen inform Mr. & Mrs. Howard and Mr. & Mrs. Langlois be instructed forthwith to remove the obstruction in the alley so that the City will not be liable for the damag that she as a citizen will have to pay. She stated that our City Attorney can tell theCouncil that we can bring the entire matter of the alleys in the Highlands before the Attorney General's Office , who has the right to ask the Supreme Court of the State of Washington for declaratory judgement. If a suit is brought before them this would eliminate a lot of time , etc and hard feel- ings. Councilman Tamborini stated he would like to have this check into and if we are in error we should correct it. These people are not registered voters . Both parties have not signed the petition, the matter should be checked into and if the public wants the petition re read, it should be reread. Councilman Bruce stated that it was not necessary to be a registered voter if a property owner to sign the petition. Mr% Pitcher stated that she and her husband were registered voters , the O 'NP,fl's were registered voters and she wanted the Council to take into consideration the fact that they are the registered voters and asked that a roll call vote be taken on the question. ' Mrs .Pitcher: Page 2. Councilman Richardson stated that the lady was out of order. Counc :l4Davidson: stated that we are on the subject of vacating of Block 17 , Renton Highlands addition. Mayor Baxter stated, in regard to this question of vacation, the Council is unable to come to a decision that he' would suggest the signatures be checked and verified by the City Attorney and report later. Councilman Tamborini stated that he was absolutely against thgvacation if they don't want the alleys improved they should be left as `is , if they do not have 100% signatures they are entitled to a hearing. The City Attorney and City Engineer should make a check and if they do not have 100% signatures they should be entitled to a hearing. That he himself was still against build- ing fences on the line.
