We, the undersigned owners . of theii �� `'R����zM� s
indicated, hereby petition the City Council''' `i` ' ate - '
- all 'or a portion of the alley east to west from Rainier '
' ,., Avenue ` to 89th Avenue South between Grady Way and South . '
•148th Street,.
,
_:'''`': = We ask that such vacation be granted subject to
:- ,' - - construction of a suitable exit from certain properties '
_ within the block by the State Highway Department. We
feel, as indicated in an earlier petition, that opening • '
: °and improving this alley will be a detriment to a'
- ' majority of property :owners, and that but for highway '
`' construction along Rainier Avenue there would be
absolutely no need to consider opening the. alley.
. In signing this petition all of the undersigned :
'agree that the intent of vacating the alley is for the
purpose of encouraging the State Highway Department to
find an alternate means of egress for certain property,
owners. We understand that., such a plan has been dis- '
:.cussed with the Engineering Department and the State'
Highway Department and is possible, but the State will '
' not voluntarily use an alternate route unless the alley
; ' ..-'is not available for their use. a.
`'` We appreciate the Council ' s consideration of this ;.
-' _ problem in the past and 'we thank' you for your prompt '
<' : .attention to this petition.'

the applicant, stating that the applicant would not object to L-1
, in place of the B®1 as requested, since the area is shown on the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan as Light Industrial0

require reposting of the property and another hearing0 '

Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 10-19-64
COMMUNICATIONS
A letter from Building Director Highton reported completion,by Contractor Albert
Quentin,of public works contract on painting of the exterior of the North Renton Rec-
reation Building as of October 14, 1964: Acceptance of the project and payment was
recommended with commencement of the 30 day lien period. Contract - $2,783.04 less
15% retained percentage, $ 417.46; amount due Contractor this payment? $2,365.58:
Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli, to refer the payment to the Auditing
and Accounting Committee with power to act accepting the project and commencing the
30 day lien period. Carried.
A Petition containing 37 signatures was read requesting that the City limit the
number of service stations located within the corporate limits of Renton. The,Petition
was signed by service station owners and operators now doing business in the City, .
Moved by Morris, seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the io[nmittee of the
Whole. Discussion ensued regarding the constitutionality of any such ordinance,, City
Attorney Shellan advising of this matter having come up only once in the Courts and
that the Ordinance was struck down as unconstitutional. City control can only be
exercised as the matter may pertain to public health, safety and welfare. After
inquiries regarding possible control of distances between the stations and use of
public right of way for accesses, the pending motion carried, referring the matter
to the Committee of the Whole. Carried.
A Petition containing•eight signatures beginning with Ballestrasse and ending with
Mann, requested Vacation of alleyway running East and West from Rainier Avenue to 87th
Avenue South between Grady Way and South 148th Street. Moved by Perry, seconded by
Hulse, to refer the Petition to the Street and Alley Committee to report back. It was
pointed out by Attorney Shellan that the Petition should be checked for validity inas-
much as no procedure may be entertained unless 2/3 of the abutting property owners have
affixed signatures to the Petition. The pending motion carried.
A Petition was read containing 12 signatures of abutting property owners on the
Black River Channel between 2nd and 3rd Avenues requesting Vacation of the subject area.
Moved by Perry, seconded by Bruce, to refer the Petition to the City Engineer for
verification of validity. Carried.
A letter from City Clerk Nelson advised of the need for amendment of Chapter 7,
(Wards and Precincts) of Title I (Administrative) of Ordinance 1628 entitled "Code of
General Ordinances of the City of Renton" revising boundaries of precincts 22, 30 and 36?
and it was recommended that the matter be referred to the Law and Ordinance Committee
for a proper Ordinance. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Schellert, to refer the
matter as recommended. Carried.
A letter from Mr. Edward J. Logan, King County Sup't. of Elections, Certified the
results of the September 15th Special Election Lake Washington Park Bond Proposition
as follows: Yes: 3,336, No: 2,431 - Defeated.- Results were duly canvassed by the
King County Canvassing Board of Election Returns on September 25, 1964.
The total vote was 5,767 and the issue reached 57.8% of the required 60% to pass.
A letter from Mr. Ralph R. Stender, Clerk of the Board of King County Commissioners
requested support of the City of Renton in the formation of a flood control zone district
in the May Creek Basin area. Mr. Allen Lang from the King County Engineer's Office, as
Public Relations representative, addressed the assembly advising that the City was being
asked to participate because the law required that a flood control district include all
areas within the control shed and inasmuch as it extends to boundaries within the City
it therefore must be approved by the City. The properties to be benefitted would at
this time assume the financial obligation and it was projected that the City would not
be involved as far as funding unless at some future time the voters should elect to
establish inclusion, in which case the properties not the City would be assessed. '
Moved by 'Hulse,seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Committee of the
Whole. Carried.
A letter from City Attorney Shellan reported receipt of $389.92,and transmittal
to the City Treasurer,constituting proceeds of settlement relative to damage to one of
the Police Department motorcycles on March 13, 1963 in which Officer John E. Buff was
involved.Suit was commenced to recover his damages as well as those to the vehicle and
settlement was made a few days prior to trial date with release being executed in con-
nection therewith.

Gentlemen:
1-. The Downtown r•lorcr nt.°s request Free ree Parlaing.on October 22, 23
and 2b,. for their: Harvest,. a,le. The association also requests
permt&ion to place banners on the struts advertising.the
Harvest Salo. In addition permission teas requested to block
off Burnett Street from Third Avenue to 'Walla Walla Avenue on.
October 23, from .6:3D P.N. to 9:00 P. 1. fora new tsar showing.
The Street and Alley Caittee concurs in the requests .for.
Free Parking, splacement of Banners and in lieu of blocking;of
Burnett Street recommvind the'Parking Area. adjacent .to Burnett
wureet be used for the new.car show .
Pct7.tion requesting the Alley in Block 16, C.D., Hillmans Earlington
Gardens Division: o. :1:. not be opened as proposed by the State High-
way Department. :
The Streets and Alleys in this'Plat have been dedicated for public use
which would include access .to the abutting property owners. -
The State Highway Department is required to" provide access to certain
property owners abutter this alloy because of the construction.of the
South Houton--Interchange which cut off ;the access on the east end of.
the alley. The Highway Depart remt will pay for all. .improvements .
required to open the alley westerly:to-;.89th Avenue, South.
The Street and Allay: Committee therefore feels. It would be to
deny the State.Highway Department the right, to open. the alley.as
dedicated for such:purposes.

Members of the City Council
We, the undersigned owners (see attached sheet)
of the 20 lots as ,indicated, .'respectfully'petition the
Mayor and the City Council. of the City of :Renton not to
open the alley running east and west between;.Grady .Way
and South 148th Street.
This subject has been brought before the City
Council in years past and the Council has in every.
case decided that the best interests of the property
owners of the area would be served by leaving the alley
in its present status. Opening this alley would serve
the interests of only one property owner and would be
detrimental to the neighboring property owners because
of excessive travel, . additiona littering and noise
factors, plus the fact that an 'expenszve drainage
problem would ensue. We feel the matter requires no
public hearing, and the matter can be decided upon its .
merits after an insPection, of the area by those
Councilmen as yet unfamiliar with it..
We thank ,you for your prompt consideration and
attention to this problem.

Members of the City Council
We, the undersigned owners (see attached sheet)
of the 20 lots as indicated, respectfully petition the
Mayor and the City Council of the City of Renton not to
open the alley running east and west between Grady Way
and South 148th Street.
This subject has been brought before the City
Council in years past and the Council has in every
case decided that the best interests of the property
owners of the area would be served by leaving the alley
in its present status. Opening this alley would serve
the interests of only one property owner and would be
detrimental to the neighboring property owners because
of excessive travel, additiona littering and noise
factors, plus the fact that an expensive drainage
problem would ensue. We feel the matter requires no
public hearing, and the matter can be decided upon its
merits after an inspection of the area by those
Councilmen as yet unfamiliar with it.
We thank you for your prompt consideration and
attention to this problem.

Gentlemen: \, { r,.. g
We, the undersigned owners of the molp. e* s
•
indicated, hereby petition the City Council L ate
all or a portion of the alley east to west from Rainier
Avenue to 877th Avenue South between Grady Way and South
148th Street.
We ask that such vacation be granted subject to
construction of a suitable exit from certain properties
within the block by the State Highway Department. We
feel, as indicated in an earlier petition, that opening
and improving this alley will be a detriment to a
majority of property owners, and that but for highway
construction along Rainier Avenue there would be
absolutely no need to consider opening the alley. ,
In signing this petition all of the undersigned
agree that the intent of vacating the alley is for the
purpose of encouraging the State Highway Department to
find an alternate means of egress for certain property
owners. We understand that, such a plan has been dis-
cussed with the Engineering Department and the State
Highway Department and is possible, but the State will
not voluntarily use an alternate route unless the alley
is not available for their use.
We appreciate the Council ' s consideration of this
problem in the past and we thank you for your prompt
• attention to this petition.

A Petition containing 37 signatures was read requesting that the City limit the:
number of service stations located within the corporate limits of Renton. The Petition
was signed by service station owners and operators now doing business in the City.
Moved by Morris, seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Committee of the
Whole. Discussion ensued regarding the constitutionality of any such ordinance, City
Attorney Shellan advising of this matter having come up only once in the Courts and
that the Ordinance was struck down as unconstitutional. City control can only be
exercised as the matter may pertain to public health, safety and welfare. After
inquiries regarding possible control of distances between the stations and use of
public right of way for accesses, the pending motion carried, referring the matter
to the Committee of the Whole. Carried.
A Petition containing eight signatures beginning with Ballestrasse and ending with
Mann, requested Vacation of alleyway running East and West from Rainier Avenue to 87th
Avenue South between Grady Way and South 148th Street. Moved by Perry, seconded by
Hulse, to refer the Petition to the Street and Alley Committee to report back. It was
pointed out by Attorney Shellan that the Petition should be checked for validity inas-
much as no procedure may be entertained unless 2/3 of the abutting property owners have
affixed signatures to the Petition. The pending motion carried.
A Petition was read containing 12 signatures of abutting property owners on the
Black River Channel between 2nd and 3rd Avenues requesting Vacation of the subject area.
Moved by Perry, seconded by Bruce, to refer the Petition to the City Engineer for
verification of validity. Carried.
A letter from City Clerk Nelson advised of the need for amendment of Chapter 7,
(Wards and Precincts) of Title I (Administrative) of Ordinance 1628 entitled "Code of
General Ordinances of the City of Renton" revising boundaries of precincts 22, 30 and 36?
and it was recommended that the matter be referred to the Law and Ordinance Committee
for a proper Ordinance. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Schellert, to refer the
matter as recommended. Carried.
A letter from Mr. Edward J. Logan, King County Sup't. of Elections, Certified the
results of the September 15th Special Election Lake Washington Park Bond Proposition
as follows: Yes: 3,336, No: 2,431 - Defeated - Results were duly canvassed by the
King County Canvassing Board of Election Returns on September 25, 1964.
The total vote was 5,767 and the issue reached 57.8% of the required 60% to pass.
A letter from Mr. Ralph R. Stender, Clerk of the Board of King County Commissioners
requested support of the City of Renton in the formation of a flood control zone district
in the May Creek Basin area. Mr. Allen Lang from the King County Engineer's Office, as
Public Relations representative, addressed the assembly advising that the City was being
asked to participate because the law required that a flood control district include all
areas within the control shed and inasmuch as it extends to boundaries within the City
it therefore must be approved by the City. The properties to be benefitted would at
this time assume the financial obligation and it was projected that the City would not
be involved as far as funding unless at some future time the voters should elect to
establish inclusion, in which case the properties not the City would be assessed.
Moved by Hulse,seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Committee of the
Whole. Carried.
A letter from City Attorney Shellan reported receipt of $389.92,and transmittal
to the City Treasurer,constituting proceeds of settlement relative to damage to one of

involved.Suit was commenced to recover his damages as well as those to the vehicle and
settlement was made a few days prior to trial date with release being executed in con-
nection therewith.
