SUBJECT: Fire District 40 Asset Transfer
ISSUE
Transfer of King County Fire Protection District 40 assets to the City of Renton for the
Benson Hill Communities annexation, and Renton's ownership of Fire Station 13.
BACKGROUND
The Benson Hill Communities annexation reduced the service area of King County Fire
Protection District 40 and removed 36% of the assessed valuation from the District's
boundaries. By state law, the City and District have one year (until March 1, 2009) to
negotiate a corresponding share (36%) of the transfer of District assets to Renton. State
law provides that asset transfer can include cash, properties or contracts.
The first step for asset transfer involves the creation of a balance sheet for District 40 to
detennine the amount of funding for transfer. The City and District have jointly developed
and reviewed the balance sheet of Fire District 40's assets. The District's net asset value is
$6.23 million, and 36% of that total for transfer to Renton equals $2.24 million.
To establish which combination of cash, properties or contracts should transfer, Renton
City departments (including Renton Fire & Emergency Services, Information Services
Division and Public Works Maintenance Division) conducted a comprehensive inventory
of the equipment and vehicles needed to provide services within the current City, not
including equipment and vehicles needed for Station 17 which remains within FD 40
territory. Response apparatus were not needed for transfer since the primary and backup
engine and aid unit from former Station 13 moved to the new Station 13 (42) upon
annexation.
Through appraisal review and City -District negotiations, the City established that of all
assets, it is most advantageous for service provision to acquire the District's former
Randy Corman, Council President
Page 2 of 3
February 9, 2009
headquarters station and its contents, and transfer some of the fleet and equipment of the
District to assist in providing services across the system. All assets for transfer in total are
valued at $10.3M. Assets identified for transfer include:
• Station 13 land and building (formerly District Headquarters Station 42), valued at
$9.83 million.
• Station 13 contents, including all furniture, fixtures and equipment, valued at
$250,000,
• Equipment for transfer valued at $141,567, including 26 sets of personal protective
equipment; mechanic's tools in use at the City shops for vehicle repair and
maintenance; and the portion of the fiber optic cabling that connects Station 13 and
17.
• Nine vehicles valued at $153,100.
In addition to completing the asset transfer, the City and District have agreed on an
approach for the City of Renton to eventually own the station. Completing the asset
transfer plus ownership of the station entails creating the following agreements between
the two governments which are referred for Council approval:
• Master Asset Transfer Agreement which outlines the overall terms of asset
transfer via interlocal agreement;
• Bill of Sale documenting the transfer of, and inventorying the vehicles and
property for transfer from the District to Renton;
• Statutory Warranty Deed and Deed of Trust transferring the property and real
estate from the District to Renton;
• Promissory Note outlining the terms for Renton to purchase the Fire Station from
Fire District 40 and accompanying amortization schedule showing the payments
the City will make to District 40 over time; and
• Lease agreement allowing the free use of three interior offices and records
storage space for Fire District 40 Commissioners.
A summary and explanation of the asset transfer and transaction for station ownership is
provided below.

Page 3 of 3
February 9, 2009
Applying the asset transfer amount to the amount the City wants to acquire, yields the
total on the promissory note from the City to the District (less 2008 bond proceeds from
Benson Hill) of $6.8 million. The promissory note provides for the annual payment by the
City to be reduced by the amount of bond debt paid by the annexed areas. Therefore,
Renton will owe approximately $250,000 per year to District 40 toward ownership of the
station by the year 2028, according to the amortization schedule for Station 13.
This arrangement beyond the simple asset transfer allows Renton to own the station by the
year 2028, limits Renton's cash outlay to the District in the first few years, and allows for
the uncertainty of a change in governance in Fairwood through incorporation or
annexation to be settled sometime in the future. If Fairwood residents vote to annex to
Renton, the station and all remaining assets of the District will transfer to the City. If
Fairwood residents choose to not annex to Renton, the City would continue to pay each
year toward ownership of the station. Funding from the Fire Mitigation Fund (Fund 304)
would be used to pay down the balance of the station.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to sign and City Clerk to execute the asset transfer interlocal
agreement, bill of sale, statutory warranty deed, deed of trust, promissory note, and lease
agreement with King County Fire Protection District 40.

Page 1 of 5
causing alleged damages or injuries. Each party agrees to indemnify the other to the
extent of the indemnitor and indemnitee's proportional share.
As to any and all causes of actions and/or claims, or third -party claims,
arising under the sole fault of a party to this Lease, said party shall have a duty to defend,
save, and hold the other party harmless, and upon failure to do so, said party shall pay

12. Damage or Destruction. In the event the premises are damaged to such an
extent as to render them untenantable in whole or in part and Lessor elects to repair or

days after such damage or destruction.

have the right to enter the premises, inspect the same and to repair the premises and any

means which Lessor may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to
obtain entry to the premises without liability to Lessee except for any failure to exercise
due care for Lessee's property. Any entry to the premises obtained by Lessor by any of
said means or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be
forceful or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of the premises, or an eviction of Lessee
from the premises or any portion thereof provided said entry relates to emergency
purposes as aforesaid.
14. Waiver of Subro ation: Lessor and Lessee agree that they shall not make

liability regardless of the cause of such loss or damage so covered by insurance. In the

suffering such increased cost or impairment may terminate such waiver and release upon
written notice to the other party hereto. Such waiver is conditioned upon the parties
having had their respective insurance companies issue a policy or endorsement providing
that the waiver or release of subrogation rights shall not adversely affect or impair such
policies or recovery by the insured thereunder.
15. Surrender of Premises: At the end of the term of this Lease or any
extension thereof or other sooner termination of this Lease, Lessee will peaceably deliver
up to the Lessor possession of the premises in the same condition as received, except for
ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire, earthquake, act of God or the elements alone,

DATE: February 2, 2009
TO: Randy Corman, Council President
City Council Members
VIA: .1( Denis Law
FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator t<d
STAFF CONTACT: Angie Mathias (6576)
SUBJECT: Unincorporated Island Annexation — Duvall South
ISSUE:
Areas that are at least 80% surrounded by existing City limits may be annexed using the
Unincorporated Island method. In order to initiate the annexation of an unincorporated island,
the City Council may approve a resolution that indicates the intent to annex the area and sets a
public hearing date.
RECOMMENDATION:
On the basis of the following analysis, the Administration recommends that Council initiate the
annexation of the Duvall South area. If Council concurs, the Administration recommends that
it take the following actions (pursuant to RCW 35A.14.295):
• Adopt the resolution announcing the intent to annex the area, and
• Set a public hearing at which residents of the area will be afforded the
opportunity to be heard.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Duvall South Potential Annexation Area: This annexation area is estimated to be 80.6%
surrounded by the existing City limits.
1. Location: The proposed 11.6-acre, Duvall South Annexation area is located south of
Northeast 151 Street, west of Field Avenue Northeast if extended, north of Southeast 136"
Street, and east of Bremerton Avenue Northeast if extended.
Page 1 of 5
Proposed Annexation - Duvall South
2. Assessed value: The 2009 assessed valuation for the subject annexation site, at current
development, is $8,588,800.
3. Natural features: The site slopes downward to the west from approximately 139t" Avenue
Southeast toward Maplewood Creek. There are steep slopes in the western portion of the
area descending towards the creek. The portion of Maplewood Creek that runs through and
near the site is a Class III waterway.
4. Existing land uses: The existing land use is residential. There are an estimated 25 single-
family homes and the estimated existing population is 58 people.
5. Comprehensive Plan: Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject annexation site as
Residential Low Density (RLD) and Residential Single Family (RSF).
6. Existing zoning_ The existing King County zoning is R-4. The City prezoned the area in
2007 as part of the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area prezone. The western
portion was prezoned City of Renton R-8 (Ordinance #5257) and the eastern portion was
prezoned City of Renton R-4 (Ordinance #5254). The City of Renton zoning will become
effective upon annexation.
7. Public services: All responding departments and divisions noted that the annexation
represents a logical extension of their respective services and systems. Specific comments
follow.
Water Utility. The subject site is located within the City of Renton water service area;
however King County Water District 90 is currently providing water service to the
Kimber Lane plat. Reviewing staff stated that the existing water mains in the area can
provide sufficient capacity for fire protection to the existing homes, as well as to any new
single-family dwellings. If new development occurs, it would be required that the water
mains be extended. The associated costs of such extensions would be borne by the
developer of the new dwellings. Staff stated that there would be no new agreements or
franchises required as a result of this proposed annexation because there is an existing
utility franchise agreement with King County for the operation, maintenance, and repairs
of City water mains within King County rights -of -way. In regards to the Kimber Lane
plat, the City could allow Water District 90 to continue to provide water service until a
City water line is extended to the subdivision.
Wastewater. The annexation site is located within the Renton Sewer Service Area.
Sewers have not been extended to the area. If sewer lines were to be extended in the
future, it is expected that they would occur at the cost of a developer or if funded by a
Local Improvement District.
Surface Water Utility. The proposed annexation area is within the Lower Cedar River
drainage basin. This drainage basin has been identified as having significant erosion,
water quality, and habitat problems due to urbanization. Maplewood Creek crosses the
west end of the annexation area. Staff noted that development that may occur in the
Page 2 of 5
Proposed Annexation - Duvall South
future should be conditioned through SEPA to meet the 2005 King County Surface Water
Design Manual or the most current drainage standards equivalent. Staff stated that the
majority of the residential development in the Duvall South potential annexation area
occurred prior to 1970 with the drainage standards that were practiced at that time.
Almost all of the street runoff is conveyed with ditches. This practice is not the current
practice used by the City for development. King County records do not list any
significant drainage problems. There are no King County maintained storm water
facilities (ponds) within the area that the City would assume responsibility for upon
annexation. Staff indicated that additional staffing would need to expand in proportion to
the additional area that the utility is responsible for serving. There may be additional
need for staff because the infrastructure in the area does not currently meet City of
Renton standards. It is assumed that over time the need for additional staff resources for
the annexation area would return to a level that is commensurate with the rest of the City.
Parks. There are two parks located in close proximity to the proposed Duvall South
Annexation Area. Maplewood Park is a King County park that is located approximately
.40 miles east of the annexation area. The park is 44.61 acres in size and has a fitness
circuit, multi -purpose court, an open play area, picnic tables, and a play equipment area.
The City of Renton owns Heritage Park located less than '/z mile northwest of the
annexation area. The park has ball fields, a basketball court, a picnic shelter, and
restrooms. Community Services staff indicated that within this 11.6-acre potential
annexation area there is a shortfall of parks when compared to the level of service goals
set in the Comprehensive Plan for parks provision to citizens.
Fire. Renton Fire and Emergency Services currently serves the area and would continue
to upon annexation. No additional staff or facilities would be required to serve the
annexation area.
Police. Staff stated that the annexation represents a logical extension of their services. It
is estimated that the area would have 23.5 calls for service per year at current
development and 35.7 at full development.
Transportation. The reviewing staff noted that Duvall Avenue Northeast, Southeast 1351h
Street, Southeast 136th Street, and 1391h Place Southeast are not as wide as the current
City of Renton standards for residential streets. However, these streets do have adequate
right-of-way to allow wider streets to be constructed at some time in the future. The
existing thickness of the street pavement inside the annexation area is not as thick as
would be required for new construction inside the City of Renton. Additionally, the
roads have been constructed without curb, gutter, and sidewalks as is required with new
construction in the City. The area does have some street lighting, but not to the extent
currently required by the City. Staff noted that King County has no identified plans for
street improvements within the annexation area. The costs associated with energy for
street lighting and the maintenance of street signage, traffic control signage, and
pavement markings may be incurred by the City, but would not represent a significant
financial burden. The City would assume ownership and/or responsibility for all the
Page 3 of 5
Proposed Annexation - Duvall South
streets within the annexation area. The annexation would not require any additional
transportation systems staff.
Development Services. The Development Services section did not indicate any concerns
regarding the proposed annexation and reported that no additional staff would be required
to serve the annexation area. The proposed Duvall South Annexation Area is located in a
portion of the City where it is required that physical addresses be changed to the City of
Renton addressing system upon annexation.
Planning. Staff stated that the annexation represents a logical extension of their services
and that it would not require any additional planning staff to serve the area.
8. Fiscal Impact Analysis
A fiscal analysis for each of the proposed annexations is attached. The analysis shows an
initial positive fiscal impact of $1,460 per year. Over the next ten years as property values
increase and when the area is fully built out, with an estimated additional 13 single-family
detached units, the fiscal impact is estimated to be approximately $19,617 per year (assuming
an assessed value of $500,000 per dwelling).
ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION:
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:
Renton's Comprehensive Plan annexation policies generally support this proposed
annexation. The subject site is within the City's Potential Annexation Area and has been
subject to development pressure under the King County Comprehensive Plan, zoning,
and subdivision regulations (Policies LU-36 and LU-37). The area would also be
available for urbanization under Renton's Residential Low Density and Residential
Medium Density land use designations. Renton is the logical provider of most urban
infrastructure and services to the area (Policy LU-38).
2. Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives:
(from RCW 36.93.180)
a. Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities;
The proposed annexations would cause no disruption to the larger community.
b. Use of physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water,
highways, and land contours;
The boundary is comprised of existing City limits and a roadway.
c. Creation and preservation of logical service areas;
Water and sewer service boundaries will not change as a result of these
annexations. Annexation does not cause changes in school district boundaries;
the area will remain in the school district it is currently in, the Renton School
District. The King County Sheriff's Department currently provides police
Page 4 of 5
Proposed Annexation - Duvall South
the area will remain in the school district it is currently in, the Renton School
District. The King County Sheriff's Department currently provides police
protection to the area; upon annexation Renton will take over police service for
the area. Pursuant to state law, there will be no change in the garbage service
provider for at least seven years.
d. Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries;
This annexation uses regular boundaries.
e. Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and encouragement of
incorporations of cities in excess of ten thousand population in heavily populated
urban areas;
Not applicable.
f. Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts;
Not applicable. There are no inactive special purpose districts in these areas.
g. Adjustment of impractical boundaries;
Not applicable. However, it does resolve an area that is an unincorporated
island.
h. Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities or towns of
unincorporated areas which are urban in character;
King County has designated this area for urban development because of its
location within the Urban Growth Boundary. The County has also indicated that
it wants to divest itself from providing urban services to these unincorporated
urban areas by turning them over to cities as quickly as possible. Because the
subject annexation site is within Renton's PAA annexation is appropriate at this
time.
i. Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long term
productive agricultural and resource use by a comprehensive plan adopted by
the county legislative authority.
Not applicable. No portions of the proposed annexation area are rural or
designated for long term productive agricultural use in the King County or
Renton Comprehensive Plans.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed annexation is consistent with relevant County and City annexation policies, as well
as Boundary Review Board objectives for annexation. Reviewing staff has identified no major
impediments to the provision of City services in any of the areas. It is recommended that the
Council begin the annexation with the unincorporated island method by adopting the associated
resolution and setting the public hearings for the proposed annexation.

DATE: February 2, 2009
TO: Randy Corman, Council President
City Council Members
VIA: -,�' Denis Law
FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator
STAFF CONTACT: Angie Mathias (6576)
SUBJECT: Unincorporated Island Annexation — Sunset East
ISSUE:
Areas that are at least 80% surrounded by existing City limits may be annexed using the
Unincorporated Island method. In order to initiate the annexation of an unincorporated island,
the City Council may approve a resolution that indicates the intent to annex the area and sets a
public hearing date.
RECOMMENDATION:
On the basis of the following analysis, the Administration recommends that Council initiate the
annexation of the Sunset East area. If Council concurs, the Administration recommends that it
take the following actions (pursuant to RCW 35A.14.295):
• Adopt the resolution announcing the intent to annex the area, and
• Set a public hearing at which residents of the area will be afforded the
opportunity to be heard.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Sunset East Potential Annexation Area: This annexation area is entirely surrounded by the
existing City limits.
1. Location: The proposed 15.9-acre, Sunset East Annexation is located south of Northeast 16`'
Street if extended, west but not abutting 148' Avenue Southeast, north Northeast Sunset
Boulevard, and east of Jericho Avenue Northeast if extended.
Page 1 of 5
Proposed Annexation - Sunset East
2. Assessed value: The 2009 assessed valuation for the subject annexation site, at current
development, is $6,030,500.
3. Natural features: The site is generally level with the highpoint at the western portion of the
area. The topography then descends to the east with no steep slopes present. A Class IV
waterway runs along the eastern boundary of the area.
4. Existing land uses: Existing development is residential and vacant land. There are an
estimated 14 single-family homes and the estimated existing population is 32 people. There
are 3.38-acres of vacant land.
5. Comprehensive Plan: Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject annexation site as
Residential Low Density (RLD).
6. Existingzoning: oning The King County zoning is R-4. The area was pre -zoned R-5 as part of the
May Valley Prezone in 1997, Ordinance #4667. However, the R-5 zone is no longer in use
in the City of Renton. The zoning classification that most closely matches the density
allowed in the former R-5 is R-4. The area is designated Residential Low Density (RLD) on
the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. There are three zones that implement the
RLD designation: Resource Conservation (1 dwelling unit per 10 acres), Residential One
Dwelling Unit per Acre (R-1), and Residential Four Dwelling Units per Acre (R-4). The R-
4 zone is the most intense zoning allowed with the Comprehensive Plan designation of the
area, but allows less development than what is currently allowable under King County's
zoning and the City's previous R-5 designation. The City will hold two public hearings in
the matter of zoning for the area; the anticipated zoning is R-4.
7. Public services: All responding departments and divisions noted that the annexation
represents a logical extension of their respective services and systems. Specific comments
follow.
Water Utility. The proposed annexation area is within King County Water District 90's
service area. Any person seeking to develop or redevelop property must obtain a
certificate of water availability from Water District 90 prior to beginning development.
Wastewater. The annexation site is located within the Renton Sewer Service Area.
Sewers have not been extended to the area. Because the area is relatively
underdeveloped it is expected that, if sewer lines were to be extended in the future the
costs would be incurred by a developer.
Surface Water Utility. The proposed annexation area is within the May Creek drainage
basin. This drainage basin has been identified as having significant erosion, water
quality, and habitat problems due to urbanization. Staff noted that development that may
occur in the future should be conditioned through SEPA to meet the 2005 King County
Surface Water Design Manual or the most current drainage standards equivalent. Staff
identified that the existing drainage standards in the area are not the same as the current
City of Renton standards. Almost all of the street runoff is conveyed with ditches. This
practice is not the current practice used by the City for development. King County
records do not list any significant drainage problems. King County IMaps indicates that
Page 2 of 5
Proposed Annexation - Sunset East
there is one King County maintained storm water facility (pond and trench) within the
area that the City would assume responsibility for upon annexation. Staff recommends
that the facility be inspected prior to annexation. Staff indicated that additional staffing
would need to expand in proportion to the additional area that the utility is responsible for
serving. There may be additional need for staff because the infrastructure in the area
does not currently meet City of Renton standards. It is assumed that over time the need
for additional staff resources for the annexation area would return to a level that is
commensurate with the rest of the City.
Parks. There are three King County owned parks located near the proposed Sunset East
Annexation Area. May Valley Park is located approximately .18 miles northeast of the
annexation area. The park is 47.29 acres in size and has no improvements. May Creek
Park is located approximately 1 mile north of the annexation area. It is 54.27 acres in
size and has walking trails. Additionally, the Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park
is located approximately 1 mile from the annexation area. The City of Renton owns
Kiwanis Park located approximately 1 mile west of the annexation area. The park has an
activity building, ball fields, a basketball court, playground equipment, restrooms, and
tennis courts. Community Services staff indicated that within the 15.9-acre potential
annexation area there is a shortfall of parks when compared to the level of service goals
set in the Comprehensive Plan for parks provision to citizens.
Fire. Renton Fire and Emergency Services currently serves the area and would continue
to upon annexation. No additional staff or facilities would be required to serve the
annexation area.
Police. Staff stated that the annexation represents a logical extension of their services. It
is estimated that the area would have 13.2 calls for service per year at current
development and 48.9 at full development.
Transportation. The reviewing staff noted that the right-of-way width on 145th Place
Southeast (a private street) is a fifty -foot width, which meets current City of Renton
standards for residential streets. The City would not assume ownership and/or
responsibility for 1451h Place Southeast because it is a private street. However, the street
does not have the curb, gutter, sidewalks, or street lighting that would be required for new
streets in the City of Renton. Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)
has identified the need to improve State Route 900 by widening the road and installing
curb, gutter, sidewalks, and street lighting, which would require some acquisition of
right-of-way by WSDOT. A timeline for these proposed improvements has not been
developed. The costs associated with the identified improvements of SR 900 would be
paid for by WSDOT or possibly future development. The annexation would not require
any additional transportation systems staff.
Development Services. The Development Services section did not indicate any concerns
regarding the proposed annexation and reported that no additional staff would be required
to serve the annexation area. The proposed Sunset East Annexation Area is located in a
portion of the City where it is required that physical addresses be changed to the City of
Page 3 of 5
Proposed Annexation - Sunset East
Renton addressing system upon annexation, therefore households will have their physical
address changed when the annexation becomes effective.
Planning. Staff stated that the annexation represents a logical extension of their services
and that it would not require any additional planning staff to serve the area.
8. Fiscal Impact Analysis
The analysis for the Sunset East Annexation indicates that the proposed annexation would
have an initial net positive fiscal impact of $3,837 per year. Over the next ten years as
property values increase and when the area is fully built out, with an estimated additional
thirty-eight single-family detached units, the fiscal impact is estimated to be approximately
$29,600 per year (assuming an assessed value of $500,000 per dwelling).
ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION:
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:
Renton's Comprehensive Plan annexation policies generally support this proposed
annexations. The subject site is within the City's Potential Annexation Area and has
been subject to development pressure under the King County Comprehensive Plan,
zoning, and subdivision regulations (Policies LU-36 and LU-37). The area would also be
available for urbanization under Renton's Residential Low Density land use designation.
Renton is the logical provider of most urban infrastructure and services to the area
(Policy LU-38).
2. Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives:
(from RCW 36.93.180)
a. Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities;
The proposed annexation would cause no disruption to the larger community.
b. Use of physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water,
highways, and land contours;
The subject site is bounded entirely by existing City limits.
c. Creation and preservation of logical service areas;
Water and sewer service boundaries will not change as a result of these
annexations. Annexation does not cause changes in school district boundaries;
the area will remain in the school district it is currently in, the Issaquah School
District. The King County Sheriff's Department currently provides police
protection to the area; upon annexation Renton will take over police service for
the area. Pursuant to state law, there will be no change in the garbage service
provider for at least seven years.
d. Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries;
This annexation would resolve an area that 100% surrounded by existing City
limits.
Page 4 of 5
Proposed Annexation - Sunset East
e. Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and encouragement of
incorporations of cities in excess often thousand population in heavily populated
urban areas;
Not applicable. No incorporations are proposed in these areas.
f. Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts;
Not applicable. There are no inactive special purpose districts in these areas.
g. Adjustment of impractical boundaries;
Not applicable. However, it does resolve an area that is an unincorporated
island.
h. Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities or towns of
unincorporated areas which are urban in character;
King County has designated this area for urban development because of its
location within the Urban Growth Boundary. The County has also indicated that
it wants to divest itself from providing urban services to unincorporated urban
areas by turning them over to cities as quickly as possible. Because the subject
annexation site is within Renton's PAA annexation is appropriate.
Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long term
productive agricultural and resource use by a comprehensive plan adopted by
the county legislative authority.
Not applicable. No portion of the proposed annexation area is rural or
designated for long term productive agricultural use in the King County or
Renton Comprehensive Plans.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed annexation is consistent with relevant County and City annexation policies, as well
as Boundary Review Board objectives for annexation. Reviewing staff has identified no major
impediments to the provision of City services in any of the areas. It is recommended that the
Council begin the annexation with the unincorporated island method by adopting the associated
resolution and setting the public hearings for the proposed annexation.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 2, 2009
TO: Randy Corman, Council President
City Council Members
VIA: �t Denis Law �,Q
FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator K1
STAFF CONTACT: Angie Mathias (6576)
SUBJECT: Unincorporated Island Annexation — Honey Creek Estates
NCgI TF-
Areas that are at least 80% surrounded by existing City limits may be annexed using the
Unincorporated Island method. In order to initiate the annexation of an unincorporated island,
the City Council may approve a resolution that indicates the intent to annex the area and sets a
public hearing date.
RECOMMENDATION:
On the basis of the following analysis, the Administration recommends that Council initiate the
annexation of the Honey Creek Estates area. If Council concurs, the Administration
recommends that it take the following actions (pursuant to RCW 35A.14.295):
• Adopt the resolution announcing the intent to annex the area, and
• Set a public hearing at which residents of the area will be afforded the
opportunity to be heard.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Honey Creek Estates Potential Annexation Area: This annexation area is estimated to be
83.3% surrounded by the existing City limits.
1. Location: The proposed 18.2-acre, Honey Creek Estates Annexation is located south of
Northeast 12' Street if extended, west of 148"' Avenue Southeast, north of Northeast Ilth
Street if extended, and east of Jericho if extended.
Page 1 of 5
Proposed Annexation - Honey Creek Estates
2. Assessed value: The 2009 assessed valuation for the subject annexation site, at current
development, is $13,457,000.
3. Natural features: The site is generally level with the highpoint in the approximate center.
The topography then descends slightly to the east and west from that highpoint with no steep
slopes present. Honey Creek runs through the eastern portion of the area. This segment of
Honey Creek is a Class IV waterway.
4. Existing land uses: The existing land use is residential. There are an estimated 46 single-
family homes and the estimated existing population is 106 people. There are 1.25-acres of
vacantland.
5. Comprehensive Plan: Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject annexation site as
Residential Low Density (RLD).
6. Existing zoning_ The King County zoning is R-4. City of Renton zoning has not been
adopted. Zoning that is consistent with the RLD Comprehensive Plan designation will be
adopted in conjunction with the annexation process, so that City of Renton zoning will be in
place at the time the annexation is effective. An additional public hearing will be held in the
matter of the zoning. The anticipated zoning for the area is R-4 (residential four dwelling
units per net acre).
7. Public services: All responding departments and divisions noted that the annexation
represents a logical extension of their respective services and systems. Specific comments
follow.
Water Utility. The proposed annexation area is within King County Water District 90's
service area. Any person seeking to develop or redevelop property must obtain a
certificate of water availability from Water District 90 prior to beginning development.
Wastewater. The annexation site is located within the Renton Sewer Service Area.
Sewers have not been extended to the area. If sewer lines were to be extended in the
future, it is expected that they would occur at the cost of a developer or if funded by a
Local Improvement District.
Surface Water Utility. The proposed annexation area is within the May Creek drainage
basin. This drainage basin has been identified as having significant erosion, water
quality, and habitat problems due to urbanization. Staff noted that development that may
occur in the future should be conditioned through SEPA to meet the 2005 King County
Surface Water Design Manual or the most current drainage standards equivalent. Staff
stated that the majority of the residential development in the Honey Creek Estates
potential annexation area occurred prior to 1960 with the drainage standards that were
practiced at that time. Almost all of the street runoff is conveyed with ditches. This is
not the current practice used by the City for development. King County records do not
list any significant drainage problems. There are no King County maintained storm water
facilities (ponds) within the area that the City would assume responsibility for upon
annexation. Staff indicated that additional staffing would need to expand in proportion to
the additional area that the utility is responsible for serving. There may be additional
Page 2 of 5
Proposed Annexation - Honey Creek Estates
need for staff because the infrastructure in the area does not currently meet City of
Renton standards. It is assumed that over time the need for additional staff resources for
the annexation area would return to a level that is commensurate with the rest of the City.
Parks. There are two parks located in close proximity to the proposed Honey Creek
Estates Annexation Area. May Valley Park is a King County park that is located
approximately .17 miles northeast of the annexation area. The park is 47.29 acres in size
and has no improvements. The City of Renton owns Kiwanis Park located approximately
1 mile west of the annexation area. The park has an activity building, ball fields, a
basketball court, playground equipment, restrooms, and tennis courts. Community
Services staff indicated that within this 18.2-acre potential annexation area there is a
shortfall of parks when compared to the level of service goals set in the Comprehensive
Plan for parks provision to citizens.
Fire. Eastside Fire and Rescue (FD #10) currently serves the area, upon annexation
Renton Fire and Emergency Services will serve the area. No additional staff or facilities
would be required to serve the annexation area.
Police. Staff stated that the annexation represents a logical extension of their services. It
is estimated that the area would have 43.2 calls for service per year at current
development and 53.6 at full development.
Transportation. The reviewing staff noted that Southeast 112'h Place, Southeast 113'h
Street, Southeast 114'h Place, 145h Avenue Southeast, 1461h Avenue Southeast, 147'h
Avenue Southeast, and 148'h Avenue Southeast are not as wide as the current City of
Renton standards for residential streets. However, these streets do have adequate right-
of-way widths to allow wider streets if they were to be constructed at some time in the
future. The existing thickness of the street pavement inside the annexation area is not as
thick as would be required for new construction inside the City of Renton. Additionally,
the roads have been constructed without curb, gutter, and sidewalks as is required for new
construction in the City. The area does have some street lighting, but not to the extent
currently required by the City. Staff noted that King County has no current plans for
street improvements within the annexation area, except for minor pedestrian/bicycle
improvements on 1481h Avenue Southeast south of Southeast 113'h Street. The costs
associated with energy for street lighting and the maintenance of street signage, traffic
control signage, and pavement markings may be incurred by the City, but would not
represent a significant financial burden. The City would assume ownership and/or
responsibility for all the streets within the annexation area. The annexation would not
require any additional transportation systems staff.
Development Services. The Development Services section did not indicate any concerns
regarding the proposed annexation and reported that no additional staff would be required
to serve the annexation area. The proposed Honey Creek Estates Annexation Area is
located in a portion of the City where it is required that physical addresses be changed to
the City of Renton addressing system upon annexation.
Page 3 of 5
Proposed Annexation - Honey Creek Estates
Planning. Staff stated that the annexation represents a logical extension of their services
and that it would not require any additional staff to serve the area.
8. Fiscal Impact Analysis
A fiscal analysis for each of the proposed annexations is attached. The analysis for the
Honey Creek Estates Annexation indicates that the proposed annexation would have an
initial negative net fiscal impact of $2,170 per year. However, over the next ten years as
property values increase and when the area is fully built out, with an estimated additional
eleven single-family detached units, the fiscal impact would become positive at
approximately $29,117 per year (assuming an assessed value of $500,000 per dwelling).
ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION:
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:
Renton's Comprehensive Plan annexation policies generally support this proposed
annexation. The subject site is within the City's Potential Annexation Area and has been
subject to development pressure under the King County Comprehensive Plan, zoning,
and subdivision regulations (Policies LU-36 and LU-37). The area would also be
available for urbanization under Renton's Residential Low Density land use designation.
Renton is the logical provider of most urban infrastructure and services to the area
(Policy LU-38).
1. Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives:
(from RCW 36.93.180)
a. Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities;
The proposed annexation would cause no disruption to the larger community.
b. Use of physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water,
highways, and land contours;
The subject site uses existing City limits and roadways as boundaries.
c. Creation and preservation of logical service areas;
Water and sewer service boundaries will not change as a result of these
annexations. Annexation does not cause changes in school district boundaries;
the areas will remain in the school districts they are currently in, the Issaquah
School District. The King County Sheriff's Department currently provides
police protection to the area; upon annexation Renton will take over police
service for the area. Pursuant to state law, there will be no change in the garbage
service provider for at least seven years.
d. Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries;
This annexation would bring the City limits to the Urban Growth Boundary.
e. Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and encouragement of
incorporations of cities in excess of ten thousand population in heavily populated
urban areas;
Page 4 of 5
Proposed Annexation - Honey Creek Estates
Not applicable.
f. Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts;
Not applicable. There are no inactive special purpose districts in these areas.
g. Adjustment of impractical boundaries;
Not applicable. However, it does bring Renton City limits to the Urban Growth
Boundary.
h. Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities or towns of
unincorporated areas which are urban in character;
King County has designated these areas for urban development because of their
location within the Urban Growth Boundary. The County has also indicated that
it wants to divest itself from providing urban services to these unincorporated
urban areas by turning them over to cities as quickly as possible. Because the
subject annexation site is within Renton's PAA annexation is appropriate at this
time.
i. Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long term
productive agricultural and resource use by a comprehensive plan adopted by
the county legislative authority.
Not applicable. No portions of the proposed annexation area are rural or
designated for long term productive agricultural use in the King County or
Renton Comprehensive Plans.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed annexation is consistent with relevant County and City annexation policies, as well
as Boundary Review Board objectives for annexation. Reviewing staff has identified no major
impediments to the provision of City services in any of the areas. It is recommended that the
Council begin the annexation with the unincorporated island method by adopting the associated
resolution and setting the public hearings for the proposed annexation.

SUMMARY OFACTION:
On September 22, 2008 City Council adopted a resolution initiating the annexation of an
unincorporated island of land identified as Springbrook Terrace. The area is approximately 20-
acres in size and is located within the southern portion of the current City limits. It is entirely
surrounded by the current City limits. City departments conducted a review of the annexation
proposal and all departments indicated that the annexation represents a logical extension of their
services and raised no concerns about annexing the area. On October 20, 2008 City Council held
a public hearing in the matter and authorized the administration to forward a Notice of Intent
packet to the Boundary Review Board (BRB). On December 19, 2008 the BRB issued a Closing
Letter for Completed Action indicating their approval of the annexation. The next step in the
annexation of this area is for Council to adopt ordinances annexing and zoning Springbrook
Terrace. The annexation ordinance is subject to a referendum by voters of the area and will be
effective 45 days following the publication of this ordinance should no referendum be filed.
Adopt the ordinances annexing the Springbrook Terrace area and applying City of Renton zoning
to the area.

• Clarify building coverage and landscaping standards in the R-10 zone
• Amend the submittal requirements for Comprehensive Plan Amendments to be
consistent with the materials staff need to process these applications
BACKGROUND
Each year City staff and officials identify language, tables, or diagrams in the Renton
Municipal Code that need to be updated. Often, the proposed changes require a deeper
consideration of matters of policy, or it may result in a substantive change in standards or
regulations. However, each year a number of proposed changes simply require an
administrative clean-up. This latter group of items is referred to as the "Housekeeping"
docket.
Housekeeping amendments accomplish many different tasks. Corrections are made in
cases where there are mistakes or conflicts. Clarifications reword or refine code that may
not be presented clearly. Oftentimes, clarifications are identified by the need for
administrative determinations or interpretations in the pennitting process. Process
changes typically reflect alterations in how staff gets the job done, but does not affect
code regulations or standards.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE
The proposed amendment complies with the Comprehensive Plan, by eliminating
conflicts and inconsistencies and clarifying regulations to better implement the
established policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Process changes do not affect
Comprehensive Plan compliance, but do enhance the ability of staff to effectively
administer regulations and standards that implement the Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed amendments do not directly affect code regulations or development
standards. All of the amendments clarify issues based on existing policy, correct
mistakes or inaccuracies, or affect internal process. As a result, environmental review
under the State Environmental Policy Act is not required.
CONCLUSION
Housekeeping amendments to Renton Municipal Code eliminate inconsistency, clarify
regulations so they are better understood, and allow for the efficient processing of land
use permits.

The Resource Conservation Zone (RC) is established to provide a very
low -density residential zone that endeavors to provide some residential
use of lands characterized by extensive critical areas or lands with
agricultural uses. It is intended to implement the Low Density
Residential Comprehensive Plan designation. This zone promotes uses
that are compatible with the functions and values of designated critical
areas and allows for continued production of food and agricultural
products. No minimum density is required.
The Resource Conservation Zone is also intended to provide separation
between areas of more intense urban uses; encourage or preserve very
low -density residential uses; reduce the intensity of uses in accordance
with the extent of environmentally sensitive areas such as floodplains,
wetlands and streams, aquifers, wildlife habitat, steep slopes, and other
geologically hazardous areas; allow for small-scale farming to
commence or continue; and provide viable uses within urban
separators.

Densities range from ten (10) to fourteen (14) units per
net acre with opportunities for bonuses up to eighteen (18) dwelling
units per net acre. Structure size is intended to be limited in teens of
bulk and scale so that the various unit types allowed in the zone are
compatible with one another and can be integrated together into a
quality neighborhood. Project features are encouraged, such as yards
for private use, common open spaces, and landscaped areas that
enhance a neighborhood and foster a sense of community. Civic and
limited commercial uses may be allowed when they support the
purpose of the designation.

to provide suitable environments for district -scaled retail and
commercial development serving more than one neighborhood, but not
providing City-wide services.

S URBAN CENTER -NORTH ZONES (UC-N1 AND UC-N2):
1. Purpose: The Urban Center - North Zones are established to
provide an area for pedestrian -scale mixed -use development that
supports the residential and employment goals of Renton's Urban
Center - North. The UC-NI and UC-N2 Zones are intended to attract a
wide range of office, technology, commercial, and residential uses. The
overall mix and intensity of uses within both zones will develop over
time. Consequently, decisions made in early phases of redevelopment
will need to take into consideration the potential for further infill and
27
intensification of uses. The overall mix and intensity of uses is intended
to create an urban rather than suburban character. The form of
development is expected to use urban development standards and
therefore, setbacks, heights, landscaping, parking, and design standards
are to be urban in scale and configured in a layout utilizing the street
system to create a human -scale, pedestrian -oriented new center. Uses
that support urban center development are allowed. Development is
expected to include amenities such as gateways, water access, and open
space. Higb-quality development is anticipated, encompassing a mix of
residential .neighborhoods, shopping, and employment districts and
public facilities. The designation is also intended to allow continuation
of airplane manufacturing and accessory airplane manufacturing uses,
as land area formerly occupied by those uses is transfonned to
combinations of retail, service, office, residential, and civic uses.
2. Classifications: The Urban Center North is divided into two
zones:
a. Urban Center — North l (UC-N1): This zone is anticipated to be
the first to redevelop from airplane manufacturing and its accessory
uses. The district is intended to attract new retail, office, and
technology -related uses that co -exist with continued airplane
manufacturing in the short run, but provide a standard of development
that stimulates further investment and transition of uses in the longer
tenn. Large-scale retail uses are allowed as anchors, which, when
combined with smaller pedestrian -oriented development, create a
quality regional retail area. Residential uses are allowed in a mixed -use
format to support the office/commercial mixed -use center. The UC-NI
Zone establishes a gateway to the overall UC-N designation and
provides transition to industrial uses located to the east and low -
intensity residential and commercial areas to the south.
b. Urban Center — North 2 (UC-N2): This zone allows continued
airplane manufacturing and its accessory functions. Upon
28
redevelopment, the UC-N2 zone is anticipated to become the core of
the Urban Center - North. New development in the zone is anticipated
to create distinctive urban neighborhoods, mixed use employment
centers, and significant public open space and amenities. The UC-N2
Zone is distinguished by redevelopment that will be sensitive to and
take advantage of proximity to the urban shorelines along Lake
Washington and the Cedar River.

"Code of General Ordinances of the City of Renton, Washington," is hereby amended to

The Hearing Examiner shall hear all requests for rebuild approval permits
for nonconforming uses. The V�o ksCor;ialurl]tt-
........ . .... . .
and I=conorn c Developn cilt Administrator shall make determinations

structures, unless such applications are coupled with rebuild approval
permit applications for non -conforming uses that are being heard by the

SECTION CXXXIV.
Section 4-9-12OF Review Criteria for
Nonconforming Structures of Chapter 9 Permits -Specific, of Title IV (Development
Regulations) of Ordinance No. 4260 entitled "Code of General Ordinances of the City of
Renton, Washington," is hereby amended to read as follows:
The Reviewing Official may issue a rebuild approval permit only when the
continuance of the structure is determined to be in the public interest and
such structures are: (1) found to be compatible with other existing and
potential use/structures in the general area; or (2) can be made to be
compatible with the application of appropriate conditions. The
.E
and Ecoliornic_ Develo ine.at:
Administrator shall consider the following factors, when considering a
request for a rebuild approval permit for a nonconforming structure. In
order to grant the permit, he/she shall find that at least three (3) of the
following criteria have been satisfied:
1. Architectural and/or Historic Significance: The structure
represents a unique regional or national architectural style or an
innovation in architecture because of its style, use of materials,
or functional arrangement, and is one of the few remaining
examples of this.
2. Architectural Compatibility with Surrounding Structures:
The nonconforming building or structure was a part of a unified
streetscape of similar structures that is unlikely to be replicated
unless the subject structure is rebuilt per, or similar to, its
original plan.
3. Potential of Site for Redevelopment: Redevelopment of the
site with a conforming structure is unlikely either because the
size of the existing lot may be too small to be economical, or
because the characteristics of adjacent pennitted uses (that
might .normally be expected to expand to such a site) currently
might preclude their expansion. Typically, economic hardship
would not be considered for a variance, but is a consideration
here.
4. Condition of Building/Structure: If nonconforming as to the
provisions of the City's Building Code, the building or structure
and surrounding premises have generally been well maintained
and is not considered to be a threat to the public health, welfare,
or safety, or it could be retrofitted so as not to pose such a
threat.
5. Departure from Development Regulations: If nonconforming
with the provisions of the City's development regulations, the
91
I
building or structure does not pose a threat to the public health,
welfare or safety, or could be modified so as not to pose such a
threat.

PURPOSE:
To establish policy and procedure for the investment of excess or inactive City funds.
ORGANIZATIONS AFFECTED:
This investment policy applies to the investment of available City funds excluding fire pension
funds.
REFERENCES:
City of Renton Ordinance No 5079;
Council Meeting Minutes of 6/5/2006;
RCW 35.39.030;
RCW 36.29.020, as amended; and
RCW 39.58.080, as amended.
POLICY:
4.1 The primary objectives of this policy, in order of priority, of the City of Renton's investment
activities shall be:
Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City of Renton. Investments of
the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in
the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, diversification and safekeeping are required in
order that potential losses on individual securities do not exceed the income generated from
the remainder of the portfolio.
Liquidity: The City's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City
to meet all operating requirements that might be reasonably anticipated.
Return on Investment: The City's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective
of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into
account legal limitations, the City's investment risk constraints, and the cash flow
characteristics of the portfolio.
210-07
Investment Policy
Page 2 of 14
4.2 The City has a responsibility in the investment of public funds to seek the highest rate of
return available in the market consistent with the primary requirements of legality, safety,
liquidity, and return on investment in that order.
4.3 The City of Renton's investment portfolio will strive to achieve a market average rate of
return during budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's investment risk
constraints and cash flow needs. Market average shall be defined as the average return on
U.S. Treasury index selected by the Investment Committee that appropriately reflects the
risk and return profile of the City. The appropriate index shall take into consideration the
benchmark for traditional public funds management and an analysis of the City's portfolio
characteristics (core funds, liquid funds, etc).
4.4 Rate speculation will not be a criterion for the selection of an investment. Other criteria,
including safety, cash flow, market rates of return, and maturity take preference to rate
expectations.
5.0 PROCEDURE
5.1 Delegation of AuthoritX
5.1.1 The Investment Policy of the City of Renton shall be approved by the City Council
and made available on its web site, and upon request. The Finance Committee of the
City Council shall review the policy at their discretion and recommend suggested
changes to the full City Council.
5.1.2 The City Investment Committee shall provide oversight of the investment program.
The Committee shall meet quarterly to review reports and actions taken within the
City's portfolio. The Committee shall provide advice and direction for the
management of the City investment program. The Committee shall be comprised of
the Mayor, the Chief Administrative Officer, the Finance and Information Services
Administrator, and a member of the City Council.
5.1.3 The Finance and Information Services Administrator is responsible for managing the
investment program, with execution of investment transactions delegated to the
Fiscal Services Director who shall act as the City's Investment Officer, consistent
with procedures established in this policy. The City, with concurrence of the
Investment Committee, may hire an investment advisor, on a non -discretionary basis,
to assist with the management of the City's investment portfolio.
5.1.4 The daily operational responsibility for the investment program is delegated to the
Fiscal Services Director who shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken.
Subordinates within the Fiscal Services Director's office, authorized by City of
Renton by Resolution, may be given daily responsibilities to execute specific

210-07
Investment Policy
Page 3 of 14
5.1.5 The Finance and Information Services Administrator shall be responsible for all
transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the
activities of subordinate officials.
5.2 Prudence
5.2.1 The standard of prudence to be applied by the Investment Officer shall be the prudent
investor standard that states: "Investments shall be made with judgment and care,
under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion, and
intelligence would use in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation,
but for investment purposes, considering the probable safety of their capital as well
as the probable income to be derived."
5.2.2 The Investment Officer, acting in accordance with the prudent investor standard,
written procedures and exercising due diligence, shall not be held personally
responsible for a specific security's credit risk or market price changes, provided that
these deviations are reported immediately and that appropriate action is taken to
control adverse developments.
5.2.3 Employees involved in the City's investments shall recognize that the investment
policies and portfolio are subject to public review and evaluation. The overall
program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is
worthy of the public trust.
5.3 Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
5.3.1 Employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business
activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or
which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions in
conformance with City of Renton Policy and Procedure 100-07. Employees involved
in the investment process shall disclose to the Mayor and the State of Washington
any material financial interests in financial institutions that conduct business with this
jurisdiction, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment
positions that could be related to the performance of the City's portfolio. Employees
shall separate their personal investment transactions from those of the City,
particularly with regard to the time of purchases and sales.
5.4 Internal Controls
5.4.1 The Finance and Information Services Administrator shall establish a controlled
environment that shall be reviewed annually by the State Auditor. Such review may
result in recommendations to change operating procedures to improve the controlled
environment. The controls shall be designed to prevent loss of public funds due to
fraud, error, misrepresentation, or imprudent actions.
210-07
Investment Policy
Page 4 of 14
5.5 Monitoringand nd Adjusting the Portfolio
5.5.1 The Investment Officer will routinely monitor the contents of the portfolio, the
available markets, and the relative values of competing instruments. Future purchase
of securities will be made based, in part, upon these observations, and the advice and
guidance of the Investment Committee.
5.6 Reporting Requirements
5.6.1 The Investment Officer will generate daily and monthly reports for management
purposes. In addition, a quarterly report will be prepared for the Mayor and City
Council outlining investment activity and return including a summary of status of the
portfolio, book value and market value of securities held, unrealized gains and losses,
book yield, and average yields compared to established performance standards.
5.7 Authorized Investments
5.7.1 City of Renton funds may be legally invested in any of the securities identified as
eligible investments as defined by RCW 35A.40.050 "Fiscal - Investment of Funds,"
as interpreted by the most current edition of the Office of the State Treasurer, State of
Washington publication titled "Eligible Investments for Public Funds."
5.7.2 Repurchase Agreements entered into by the City of Renton must have as collateral
U.S. Treasury securities or guaranteed federal agency obligations. Such collateral
must equal or exceed 102 percent of the purchase price. For long term repos,
collateral must be marked to market daily and the repurchase agreement must include
provisions to make up any deficiencies. A master repurchase agreement shall be
developed that spells out the nature of the agreement, remedies in the event of default
by either party, and provisions requiring that the collateral securities are delivered to
the City of Renton, or to an approved third party custodian prior to transfer of funds.
5.7.3 Reverse Repurchase Agreements are not permitted unless approved in writing by the
Mayor of the City of Renton, and with the advice and consent of the Council by
passage of a formal resolution approving such transaction.
5.7.4 Derivatives, or securities that derive security value and/or yield from an underlying
asset or an external index are prohibited unless they fall into one of the following
categories:
1) Zero coupon treasury instruments
2) Agency security obligations that have call features
3) Agency security obligations that step-up in coupon value at pre -determined
intervals. Agency obligations that step-up may also have call features
4) Agency obligations that float with interest rates or external indexes such as
treasury bills, LIBOR, COFI, or the Federal Funds rate. Agency obligation
inverse floaters are prohibited.
210-07
Investment Policy
Page 5 of 14
Examples of the exceptions listed above, which are permitted investments, are as
follows:
1) Zero coupon treasury bonds.
2) Federal Home Loan Bank Bonds that are callable on certain dates throughout
the life of the bond with a final maturity date of the bond known at the time of
purchase. Callable issues offer higher rates of interests because of the risk
associated with the bonds potentially being called before the final maturity date.
If these bonds are called, the par value of the bonds is returned to the purchaser.
3) Federal Home Loan Bank Bonds that have a step-up feature increase in coupon
value at pre -determined intervals. Normally, step-up bonds change in coupon
value once a year. These bonds may also have call features.
4) Federal National Mortgage Association Bonds that float with external index
such as the Federal Funds Rate. These bonds are purchased to protect against
increasing interest rates. These bonds usually adjust quarterly to their index.
Treasury instruments that are considered derivatives will not exceed 20 percent of the
total treasury instrument portion of the general governmental portfolio. Agency
security obligations that are considered derivatives will not exceed 50 percent of the
agency security obligation portion of the general governmental portfolio. This
prohibition on derivatives includes collateralized mortgage obligations and any
security obligation that the maturity date is not established at the time of purchase.
5.8 Authorized Financial Dealers and Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
5.8.1 The Investment Officer will maintain a list of financial institutions as required by the
Public Deposit Commission, authorized to provide investment services. In addition,
a list will also be maintained of approved security broker/dealers selected by credit
worthiness, who maintain an office in the State of Washington. These may include
primary dealers or regional dealers that qualify under SEC Rule 15C3-1 (uniform net
capital rule). No public deposit shall be made except in a qualified public depository
with offices located in the State of Washington.
5.8.2 Employees of any firm or financial institution offering securities to the City of
Renton are expected to have both Series 7 and Series 63 licenses and be trained in the
precautions appropriate to public -sector investments. These firms and financial
institutions are expected to familiarize themselves with the City of Renton's
investment objectives, policies and constraints. In addition, these firms and financial
institutions are expected to take reasonable efforts to preclude imprudent transactions
involving the City of Renton's funds.
210-07
Investment Policy
Page 6 of 14
5.9 Quotes and Selection of Investment Instruments
5.9.1 Except in the case of the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP), before the City
invests any surplus funds, a competitive quote process shall be conducted. If a
specific maturity date is desired for cash flow purposes, quotes will be requested for
instruments that meet the maturity requirement. If no specific maturity is required, a
market trend (yield curve) analysis will be conducted to determine which maturity
would be most advantageous.
5.9.2 Quotes will be requested from at least three previously qualified Authorized Dealers.
The quotes will evaluate various options with regards to term and instrument. The
City will accept the quote that provides the best alignment with these policies,
including diversification as defined by the Investment Committee. Records shall be
kept of the quotes offered, (until the financial audit is completed for the year), the
quotes accepted and a brief explanation of the decision that was made regarding the
investment. The Investment Committee shall review such activity.
5.10 Term of Investments
5.10.1 The City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow
requirements. Unless matched to a specific casli flow, the City will not directly
invest in securities maturing more than ten years from the date of purchase. The
average weighted life of the City's portfolio shall not be more than 30 months
without express written and unanimous approval of the Investment Committee.
Where the Committee provides authority to extend the average life of the portfolio, it
shall state the parameters that shall govern in lieu of this policy limit, including a
time during which this exception shall be in force.
5.10.2 The City may sell or exchange securities, at their option, to maintain liquidity or
upgrade yield. Such actions may be initiated by the Investment Officer, and requires
the written concurrence of the Investment Committee.
5.11 Diversification
5.11.1 The City will diversify use of investment instruments to avoid incurring unreasonable
risks inherent in over -investing in specific instruments, individual financial
institutions or maturity dates. The diversification will consider the market climate
and cash flow demand at the time of investment in that the instruments selected will
be the most advantageous for the City without exceeding the maximum limitations
set forth below. The target distribution will guide investment decisions during
normal economic time. As a result, the following limits shall apply t the City's
per-felie:
210-07
Investment Policy
Page 7 of 14
Target Portfolio Distribution by Investment
• US Treasury Securities 0%
• WA State Local Government Investment Pool 40%
• US Federal Agency Securities 30%
• Certificates of Deposit (within PDPC) 30%
Total Portfolio 100%
Maximum constraints by Instrument
• US Treasury Securities 100%
• WA State Local Government Investment Pool -50 75%
• US Federal Agency Securities 75%
• Certificates of Deposit (within PDPC) -5&75%
• Commercial Paper 25%
Distribution by Institution (Issuer)
• US Treasury Securities 100%
• WA State Local Government Investment Pool -0-75%
• US Federal Agency Securities 50%
• Certificates of Deposit (within PDPC) 2-5-15%
• Commercial Paper 5%
Non-compliance to any of the limitations during a period of transition will be
acceptable when a change is made to the portfolio allocation.
For purposes of this policy, federal agency debt shall be subject to the 25 percent rule
and shall be considered on an agency -by -agency basis. The single financial
institution limitation means direct investments in that institution (such as Certificates
of Deposit) and shall not apply to investments in other institutions made via an
institution.

6.0 DEFINITIONS:
ACCRUED INTEREST: The interest accumulated on a bond since issue date or the last coupon
payment. The buyer of the bond pays the market price and accrued interest, which is payable to
the seller.
AGENCY SECURITY OBLIGATIONS: U.S. Government issued security that was not issued by
the Treasury Department. These issues include: Federal Home Loan Bank Bonds (FHLB),
Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB), Federal
Home Loan Bank Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), and Student Loan Marketing Association
(SLMA).
AVERAGE MATURITY: A weighted average of the expiration dates for a portfolio of debt
securities. An income fund's volatility can be managed by shortening or lengthening the average
maturity of its portfolio.
BANK WIRE: A virtually instantaneous electronic transfer of funds between two financial
institutions.
BANKERS ACCEPTANCE (BAs): Bankers Acceptances generally are created based on a letter
of credit issued in a foreign trade transaction. They are used to finance the shipment of
commodities between countries as well as the shipment of some specific goods within the United
States. BAs are short-term, non -interest -bearing notes sold at a discount and redeemed by the
accepting bank at maturity for full face value. These notes trade at a rate equal to or slightly
higher than Certificates of Deposit (CDs), depending on market supply and demand.
Bankers Acceptances are sold in amounts that vary from $100,000 to $1,000,000 or more with
maturities ranging from 30 - 270 days. They offer liquidity to the investor, as it is possible to sell
BAs prior to maturity at the current market price.
BASIS POINT: A measure of an interest rate, i.e., 1/100 of 1 percent, or .001.
BOND: A long-term debt security, or IOU, issued by a government or corporation that generally
pays a stated rate of interest and returns the face value on the maturity date.
BOOK ENTRY SECURITIES: U.S. Government and federal agency securities that do not exist
in definitive (paper) form; they exist only in computerized files maintained by the Federal Reserve
Bank.
BOOK VALUE: The amount at which an asset is carried on the books of the owner. The book
value of an asset does not necessarily have a significant relationship to market value.
CALLABLE AGENCY OBLIGATION SECURITY: A condition of an agency obligation
security permitting the issuer to redeem it, before maturity, on specified dates.

CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT: Certificates of Deposit, familiarly known as CDs, are certificates
issued against funds deposited in a bank for a definite period of time and earning a specified rate
or return. Certificates of Deposit bear rates of interest in line with money market rates current at
the time of issuance.
COMPETITIVE QUOTE PROCESS: A process by which three or more institutions are contacted
via the telephone to obtain interest rates for specific securities.
COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATION: Derivative security created by dividing the
cash flows of a pool of mortgages into obligations having different maturities than the mortgages.
CMOs are risky because of the relationship between interest rates and mortgage prepayments.
When interest rates fall more mortgages are paid off, impacting the cash flows of CMOs and
overall return.
CREDIT RISK: The risk that another party to an investment transaction will not fulfill its
obligations. Credit risk can be associated with the issuer of a security, a financial institution
holding the entity's deposit, or a third party holding securities or collateral. Credit risk exposure
can be affected by a concentration of deposits or investments in any one investment type or with
any one party.
CUSTODIAN: An independent third party (usually bank or trust company) that holds securities
in safekeeping as an agent for the City.
DEFEASE: To discharge the lien of an ordinance, resolution, or indenture relating to a bond
issue, and in the process, rendering inoperative restrictions under which the issuer has been
obliged to operate. Comment: ordinarily an issuer may defease an indenture requirement by
depositing with a trustee an amount sufficient to fully pay all amounts under a bond contract as
they become due.
DELIVERY: The providing of a security in an acceptable form to the City or to an agent acting
on behalf of the City and independent of the seller. Acceptable forms can be physical securities or
the transfer of book entry securities. The important distinction is that the transfer accomplishes
absolute ownership control by the City.
DELIVERY vs. PAYMENT: There are two methods of delivery of securities: delivery vs.
payment and delivery vs. receipt (also called free). Delivery vs. payment is delivery of securities
with an exchange of money for the securities. Delivery vs. receipt is delivery of securities with an
exchange or a signed receipt for the securities.
DEPOSITARY BANK: A local bank used as the point of deposit for cash receipts.
DEPOSITARY INSURANCE: Insurance on deposits with financial institutions. For purposes of
this policy statement, depositary insurance includes: a) Federal depositary insurance funds, such
as those maintained by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Federal Savings
and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC); and b) Public Deposit Protection Commission.
DERIVATIVE: A financial instrument whose value is based on, and determined by, another
security or benchmark.

DISCOUNT: 1. (n.) selling below par; e.g., a $1,000 bond sell for $900. 2. (v.) anticipating the
effects of news on a security's value; e.g., "the market had already discounted the effect of the
labor strike by bidding the company's stock down."
DIVERSIFICATION: Dividing available funds among a variety of securities and institutions so
as to minimize market risk.
EFFECTIVE RATE: The yield you would receive on a debt security over a period of time taking
into account any compounding effect.
FACE VALUE: The value of a bond stated on the bond certificate; thus, the redemption value at
maturity. Most bonds have a face value, or par, of $1,000.
FEDERAL AGENCY SECURITIES: Several government -sponsored agencies, in recent years,
have issued short and long-term notes. Such notes typically are issued through dealers, mostly
investment banking houses. These Federal govermnent-sponsored agencies were established by
the U.S. Congress to undertake various types of financing without tapping the public treasury. In
order to do so, the agencies have been given the power to borrow money by issues securities,
generally under the authority of an act of Congress. These securities are highly acceptable and
marketable for several reasons, mainly because they are exempt from state, municipal and local
income taxes. Furthermore, agency securities must offer a higher yield than direct Treasury debt
of the same maturity to find investors, partly because these securities are not direct obligations of
the Treasury. The main agency borrowing institutions are the Federal National Mortgage
Association (FNMA), the Federal Home Loan Bank System (FHLB), and the Federal Farm Credit
System (FFCS).
FNMA: FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION - issues notes tailored to the
maturity need of the investor. Maturities range from 30 days up to 10 years. These notes are
made attractive by their denominations from $5,000 to $1 million.
FHLB: FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM - consists of twelve Federal Home Loan
Banks, issues, in addition to long-term bonds, coupon notes with maturities of up to one year.
Their attractiveness stems from their investment denominations of $10,000 to $1 million.
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (FDIC): A Federal institution that insures
bank deposits. The current limit is up to $100,000 per deposit.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The rate of interest at which Fed Funds are traded between banks.
Fed Funds are excess reserves held by banks that desire to invest or lend them to banks needing
reserves. The particular rate is heavily influenced through the open market operations of the
Federal Reserve Board. Also referred to as the "Fed Funds rate."

Investment Policy
Page 11 of 14
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANKS (FHLB): The institutions that regulate and lend to savings
and loan associations.
FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION (FNMA): FNMA, like GNMA, was
chartered under the Federal National Mortgage Association Act in 1938. FNMA is a Federal
corporation working under the auspices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development,
HUD. It is the largest single provider of residential mortgage funds in the United States. Fannie
Mae, as the corporation is called, is a private stockholder -owned corporation. The corporation's
purchases include a variety of adjustable mortgages and second loans, in addition to fixed-rate
mortgages. FNMA's securities are also highly liquid and widely accepted. FNMA assumes and
guarantees that all security holders will receive timely payment of principal and interest.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM: The central bank of the United States that has regulated credit
in the economy since its inception in 1913. Includes the Federal Reserve Bank, 14 district banks
and the member banks of the Federal Reserve, and is governed by the Federal Board.
FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN INSURANCE CORPORATION (FSLIC): A federal
institution that insures savings and loan deposits. The current limit is up to $100,000 per deposit.
FLEXIBLE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS (Flex Repos): Similar to a term repurchase
agreement, a flex repo is a contractual transfer of U.S. Government securities during the
investment period, whereby the Seller agrees to repurchase the collateral securities from the Buyer
on the Buyer's demand, subject to provisions of the agreement. The Seller is generally a financial
institution such as a securities dealer or a bank. As buyers, most issuers require over
collateralization, marking -to -market of collateral and delivery -vs. -payment of collateral.
FLOATER: A floating rate derivative security in which the interest rate varies with an index such
as T-bills.
FLOATER (AGENCY OBLIGATION SECURITY): A condition of an agency obligation
security where the coupon value of interest is determined from an external index or interest rate.
GINNIE MAES (GNMAs): Mortgage securities issued and guaranteed, as to timely interest and
principal payments, by the Government National Mortgage Association, an agency within the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
GOVERNMENT SECURITY: Any debt obligations issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities. Certain securities, such as Treasury bonds and Ginnie Maes, are backed by
the government as to both principal and interest payments. Other securities, such as those issued
by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie Mac, are backed by the issuing
agency.
INVERSE FLOATER: Structured notes or derivatives designed to rise in yield as interest rates
fall. Also called Reverse Floater. This is an extremely volatile security.
INVESTMENT OFFICER: The City of Renton Fiscal Services Director (or designee), who is
responsible for the day-to-day activity of the City's investment program.

Investment Policy
Page 13 of 14
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (REPO): A Repo is a contractual transaction between an investor
and an issuing financial institution (not a secured loan). The investor exchanges cash for
temporary ownership of specific securities, with an agreement between the parties that on a future
date, the financial institution will repurchase the securities at a prearranged price. An "Open
Repo" does not have a specified repurchase date and the repurchase price is established by a
formula computation.
REPRICING: The revaluation of the market value of securities.
REVERSE REPOs: The opposite of the transaction undertaken through a regular repurchase
agreement. In a "reverse" the City initially owns securities and the bank or dealer temporarily
exchanges cash for this collateral. This is, in effect, temporarily borrowing cash at a high interest
rate. Most typically, a Repo in initiated by the lender of funds. Reverses are used by dealers to
borrow securities they have shorted. Such investments are not authorized in the City of Renton's
Investment Policy.
SAFEKEEPING: A service to customers rendered by banks for a fee whereby all securities and

control over the securities being held and dealer or bank investment department has no access to
the securities being held.
TIME DEPOSIT: Interest -bearing deposit at a savings institution that has a specific maturity.
210-07
Investment Policy
Page 14 of 14
TREASURY BILLS: Treasury bills are short-term debt obligations of the U.S. Government.
They offer maximum safety of principal since they are backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States Government. Treasury bills, commonly called "T-Bills," account for the bulk of
government financing, and are the major vehicle used by the Federal Reserve System in the money
market to implement national monetary policy. T-Bills are sold in three, six, nine, and twelve-
month bills. Because treasury bills are considered "risk -free," these instruments generally yield
the lowest returns in the major money market instruments.
TREASURY NOTES AND BONDS: While T-Bills are sold at a discount rate that established the
yield to maturity; all other marketable treasury obligations are coupon issued. These include
Treasury Notes with maturities from one to ten years and Treasury Bonds with maturities of 10-30
years. The instruments are typically held by banks and savings and loan associations. Since Bills,
Notes, and Bonds are general obligations of the U.S. Government, and since the Federal
Government has the lowest credit risk of all participants in the money market, its obligations
generally offer a lower yield to the investor than do other securities of comparable maturities.
UNDERLYING SECURITIES: Securities transferred in accordance with a repurchase agreement.
U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCY SECURITIES: A variety of securities issued by several U.S.
agencies. Some are issued on a discount basis and some are issued with coupons. Some are
backed by the full faith and credit guarantee of the U.S. Government, while others are not.
WHEN -ISSUED TRADES: Typically there is a lag between the time a new bond is announced
and sold and the time is actually issued. During this interval, the security trades "wi" -- "when,
as, and if issued."
WI: When, as, and if issued. See When -issued trades.
YIELD: The rate at which an investment pays out interest or dividend income, expressed in
percentage terms and calculated by dividing the amount paid by the price of the security and
annualizing the result.
YIELD BASIS: Stated in terms of yield as opposed to price. As yield increases for a traded issue,
price decreases and vice versa. Charts prepared on a yield basis appear exactly opposite of those
prepared on a price basis.
YIELD SPREAD: The variation between yields on different types of debt securities; generally a
function of supply and demand, credit quality and expected interest rate fluctuations. Treasury
bonds, for example, because they are so safe, will normally yield less than corporate bonds.
Yields may also differ on similar securities with different maturities. Long-term debt, for
example, carries more risk of market changes and issuer defaults than short-term debt and thus
usually yields more.
ZERO -COUPON BONDS: Securities that do not pay interest but are instead sold at a deep
discount from face value. They rise in price as the maturity date nears and are redeemed at face
value upon maturity.

The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Gerald Wasser, Associate Planner, Community and
Economic Development Department, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The
Altmyer Preliminary Plat is a project that is vested in King County and is being processed by the City of Renton.
King County prepared a preliminary report and recommendations to the City of Renton upon which the report to
the Hearing Examiner is based. The property is 3.08 acres and is generally flat with a maximum slope of less
than 2%.
There are 21 proposed lots that range in size from approximately 3,400 to 6,072 square feet. The King County
zoning is R-8 and the proposed density would be 8 dwelling units per gross acre. The site would be accessed
from SE 1841h Place, some lots would be accessed via private access tracts and joint use driveways. One
combined recreation and stormwater tract has been proposed, this tract would be approximately 8,710 square
feet in area and would include a picnic area and children's play areas.
Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non -Significance. No appeals were filed.
The site is designated as Urban in the 1994 King County Comprehensive Plan, it is also in the Soos Creek Area
Community Plan and is in compliance with the goals, objectives and policies of those plans.
The proposed lots comply with the development standards of King County. The lot pattern and internal
circulation also comply with the King County Subdivision requirements.
The Renton School District has stated that they can accommodate the additional students generated by this
proposal.
Adequate drainage measures have been proposed to satisfy the requirements in the King County Surface Water
Development Manual. The Soos Creek Water and Sewer District has indicated its ability to serve this proposed
project in terms of sewage disposal and water supply.
There is an agreement between the City of Renton and King County for the widening of SE 1841h Place. It is
currently a 30-foot wide road, which would be widened to 38-feet.
Michael Romano, Centurion Development Services, PO Box 2668, Redmond, 98073 stated that this project is
vested to King County Surface Water Drainage Manual 2005 Edition and 2007 King County Road Standards.
Initially the 30-foot panhandle was going to work okay with the County's road standards. The initial property
consisted of two tax parcels, each of which had a 15-foot panhandle that were side by side and went to 112`'
forming a 30-foot panhandle. Easements between the two owners were granted. There is an existing sewer main
that runs back into the property. At the time of the first meeting with King County, the project was under the
1993 King County Road Standards which allowed for a 24-foot wide paved road with either vertical or rolled
Altmyer Preliminary Plat
File No.: LUA-08-106, PP, ECF

Page 3
curb and sidewalk on one side. Before submission, the 2007 Road Standards became effective and that widened
the road due to sidewalks being required on both sides. From the north property line to where the grade breaks
and starts the pond slope, there is about 16-17 feet of flat ground. The County agreed that it made sense to turn
that into the right-of-way and the City also agreed to this proposal. The west 65-feet of the tax parcel on the
north side of 184 h between the property and the pond tract, became part of the plat with the internal
configuration of today.
There are 21 lots, with a combined recreation/detention space tract. The cost of the improvements in the
recreation tract would be significant to the developer. The 21 homeowners will have to maintain that park. He
felt that that should more than cover the City's mitigation fee for parks, or at least as an offset to the mitigation
fee.
There is a large parcel immediately to the west of 184"', it is an apartment unit and would make it impossible to
put the internal road through to the west.
During the course of going through this project the issue of flooding came forward. For many years the area
directly north of this plat flooded. The County analyzed the entire system to see what they could do to help
mitigate the flooding. The pond at the northwest intersection of 184t" Place and 112`h Ave SE was upsized and
the piping ran to another pond that was adjacent to Benson Highway. There is a control structure in place, which
this project will retrofit with an overflow riser. This is a Level 2 overflow area, however they have volunteered
to go to the Level 3 conservation standard.
Regarding Condition 13a, which talks about street trees on SE 184 h Place, there is not enough room to be able
to plant trees on the south side. The back of the sidewalk will end up being within about a foot or so from the
property line to the south. There won't be any room on the north side unless the City is okay with planting
street trees in the pond tract. There is a fence and it could be moved further to the north of the eventual
sidewalk, that could create some space and trees could be planted on that side.
Keith Adams, 10939 SE 183rd Court, Renton 98055, stated that he lives just north of proposed Lots 4/5. He has
lived at this location for approximately 30 years. He was concerned with the flooding in the area and he had an
environmental geologist look at the records. He determined that this area was originally wetlands and that the
ground is not permeable. As each development occurs in this area new flooding has taken place. When the
apartments were built, the entire Altmyer property was underwater because they started building without doing
the necessary drainage work. The house on the southwest corner of 184`h and 112`h was flooded so badly they
had to jack up the house.
There has been no flooding since the last solution was put in place, however with the proposed building, he is
afraid that the flooding will happen again. He would like to see a more robust plan to avoid surface water runoff
onto the surrounding properties.
KMen Kittrick, Community and Economic Development, Development Services Division stated that the fire
flow requirements are the same for King County as for the City of Renton.
The storm drainage pond parcel is owned by the City of Renton, it was transferred at the time of Annexation.
The site is designed to hold in excess of standard, the proposal is to retain/detain the stormwater for a longer
period of time and more is being held on -site than is actually required by the 2005 Stormwater Manual.
On the southeast corner of this proposed property is a private access tract. This plat is considered a proposal, it
is subject to alteration as to how the accesses will be put in legally. The City does not like the little tracts, an
Altmyer Preliminary Plat
File No.: LUA-08-106, PP, ECF
December 2, 2008
Page 4
easement or joint use easement driveway would be preferred. The easements will be assigned to those homes
that are specifically using the access easements and will be required to maintain them as well.
Street trees are required, however this section of 184"' is off site. Typically the plat requirements are for on -site,
there are still some questions as to the ownership of this intersection, the property owners in the middle may
object to trees being put into the right-of-way in front of their property, if so the plans would be modified
accordingly.
There was a discussion regarding mitigation fees for parks, roads, and fire. There are many differences between
King County and the City of Renton regarding the imposing of these mitigation measure fees. The City
attorneys are in the process of reviewing these fees.
As to the cul-de-sac, there is no place for the road to continue through, there are apartments on the west side,
and they cannot go north everything is developed. The grid system is served by the major streets surrounding
the area. The fire department was content with the access as proposed and have stated that they would be able to
serve this site.
Mr. Romano stated that King County does a very thorough job of reviewing new development. Any
requirements are presented ahead of time and King County makes sure that the requirements can be fulfilled and
must be completed before it is listed as a "Condition". In this case, the drainage has been checked and
rechecked. They have looked at every piece of property, they have looked at all of the county's drainage
records and looked at the as -built plans for every drainage facility that has been constructed within this drainage
basin. They now know why it used to flood and why it doesn't flood any more. They know why the drainage
system that they are proposing is going to further serve to mitigate that situation. None of the drainage from this
site will actually end up in the existing pond. Everything from this site will drain to the west. The outfall from
the new vault, located in the northwest corner of Tract C will discharge to the west and connect to the existing
system in the northeast corner of Lot 7. They have checked and rechecked to make sure there will be no
drainage problem with any of the water drained from this site going into the existing pond.
Jerrit Jolman, 1375 NW Mall Street, Ste. 3, Issaquah, WA 98027 stated that the outflow for Pond A, the on -site
pond, drains to the west and then doglegs over to 183`d and across 108°i and into the pond that is near the Benson
Highway. King County has been very sensitive to what goes on in this basin due to all the drainage issues
during the 1970's and 1980's. After reviewing all the records for this area they created two drainage models,
one which modeled all the runoff from the basin that drains to Pond A and then another backwater analysis was
created that modeled the pipe leaving that pond, which drains to the additional pond on Benson Highway. They
found that the pond was capable of handling a 100-year flood event.
Drainage issues really began in the late 1970's when all the construction began. There were a number of
drainage and flooding issues associated with both of the early ponds. In 1992 the County had a drainage
analysis done and came up with a list of options to alleviate these problems. None of those recommendations
were ever followed through. Instead they actually enlarged the on -site pond (Pond A), and also enlarged Pond B
on the Benson Highway.
In the research work they have recently done, the pipe system between the two ponds has doubled the capacity
needed.to handle a 100-year storm. They have considered installing an emergency overflow for Pond A, which
would allow the pond to drain in severe rainstorms.
Level 3 flood control is typically used only in areas where there are existing flooding problems. This site is not
mapped as a flooding problem, but due to the history in this area it seemed to be an additional measure of safety.

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 10:06 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
The applicant, Michael Romano, doing business as Centurion Development Services, 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.
The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official issued a Determination of
Non -Significance (DNS).
4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
5. The subject site is located west of 1120' Avenue SE and north of SE 186t" Street. It is located in the
recently annexed Benson area of the City.
6. The property while located within the City of Renton is entitled to processing under King County
zoning and platting regulations. It was initially reviewed by King County with City staff providing final
review.
7. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of detached single-family homes, but does not mandate such development
without consideration of other policies of the Plan.
The subject site is currently being reviewed under King County's R-8 zoning which permits eight units
per acre.
9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 5327 enacted in March 2008.
10. The subject site is approximately 3.08 acres in area. The subject site is approximately 387 feet deep
(east to west) by approximately 343 feet wide. A long, approximately 240-foot dogleg connects the
subject site to 112`b Street.
11. The subject site is generally level with storm water currently routed to the northwest corner of the
subject site.
12. The applicant proposes dividing the subject site into 21 lots and 9 tracts. One tract, Tract C, would
serve as the stormwater detention area and recreational space. The other eight (8) tracts would be either
joint use driveways or private access tracts. The City plans on reviewing the nature of ownership or
status of these tracts and may require them to be easements with ownership associated with an adjacent
lot.

File No.: LUA-08-106, PP, ECF
December 2, 2008
Page 6
13. The subject site is an interior lot with a pipestem that runs west to east and connects on the east to 112"'
Avenue SE. This pipestem will be dedicated as a new public street, SE 184`" Place. This new street will
end in a cul-de-sac.
14. The plat's lots will generally be aligned north and south of a new public roadway. Proposed Lots l to 7
will be north of the roadway while Proposed Lots 11 to 21 will be south of the roadway. Proposed Lots
8 to 10 will be at the western end of the cul-de-sac bulb. Tract C, the detention/recreation tract, will be
north of the roadway.
15. The proposed lots will range in size from 3,400 square feet to 6,072 square feet. The lots have the
appropriate overall lot area as well as lot width and length. The lots appear to support appropriate yards.
Access to the lots will be provided by a new roadway ending in a cul-de-sac.
16. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate
approximately 9 or 10 school age children. These students would be spread across the grades and would
be assigned on a space available basis.
17. The density for the plat would be approximately 8 dwelling units per gross acre.
18. The development will generate approximately 10 trips per unit or approximately 210 trips for the 21
single-family homes. Approximately ten percent of the trips, or approximately 21 additional peak hour
trips will be generated in the morning and evening.
19. The area has had a history of flooding and neighbors confirm there have been problems in the past.
King County has rectified some of the issues including modifying the detention pond located
immediately east of the plat. The applicant's review shows that 100-year flood conditions are contained
by the existing systems and will not be exacerbated by the proposed plat. Neighbors report there has
been no recent flooding including during some larger, recent storm events. The applicant will be using
Level 3 Flow Control for its storm system on Tract C.
20. Both domestic water and sanitary sewer will be provided by the Soos Creek District. Availability
certificates for both utilities have been provided.
CONCLUSIONS:
This plat remains subject to King County rules since the application was submitted while still part of
King County. The plat is governed by the land use regulations of King County in terms of lot size and
general dimensions as well as the conditions imposed by King County on the development of a single
family plat such as on -site recreation, street trees, school walkway needs, etc. The plat will be subject to
review given the criteria of the former King County jurisdiction and conditions will be imposed as
suggested by King County officials.
2. The proposed plat appears to serve the public use and interest. The plat will provide a range of lot sizes
as it provides additional housing choices for detached single-family homes. It helps meet the City's
goals of providing appropriate land for development in this growing area of the City. The plat will
provide onsite recreation, stormwater detention and retention and roadways to handle the additional
traffic.
3. The City will have to make some additional determinations on the access proposals that include shared
use driveways and private tracts for access. Generally, such arrangements complicate maintenance
Altmyer Preliminary Plat
File No.: LUA-08-106, PP, ECF
December 2, 2008
Page 7
issues as the roadway surfaces deteriorate. Since access is important for emergency services, the City
may determine that the proposed separate tracts should be eliminated in favor of easements across fee
owned property.
4. The Soos Creek District has indicated that the plat will have access to the needed water and sewer
utilities. The City will provide Fire and Police protection.
The development of the plat will help increase property values and increase the tax base of the City.
6. In conclusion, the plat appears to be reasonably designed under King County standards and while
somewhat different from current City standards, does not vary much from those standards. The City
Council should approve the proposed plat subject to the conditions formulated by King County staff and
review by Renton staff. .
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council should approve the 21-lot plat subject to the following conditions:
l . Compliance with all platting provisions of Title 19 of the King County Code.
2. All persons having an ownership interest in the subject property shall sign on the face of the
final plat a dedication which includes the language set forth in King County Council Motion

R-8 zone classification and shall be generally as shown on the face of the approved preliminary
plat, except that minor revisions to the plat, which do not result in substantial changes may be
approved at the discretion of the City of Renton Community & Economic Development
Department.
Any/all plat boundary discrepancy shall be resolved to the satisfaction of the City of Renton
Community & Economic Development Department prior to the submittal of the final plat
documents. As used in this condition, "discrepancy" is a boundary hiatus, an overlapping
boundary or a physical appurtenance, which indicates an encroachment, lines of possession or a
conflict of title.
4. All construction and upgrading of public and private roads shall be done in accordance with the
King County Road Design & Construction Standards (2007KCRD&CS) established and
adopted by King County Ordinance No. 15753.
The applicant must obtain the approval of the City of Renton Fire Marshall for the adequacy of
the fire hydrant, water main, and fire flow standards of Chapter 17.08 of the King County Code.
6. Final plat approval shall require full compliance with drainage provisions set forth in King
County Code 9.04. Compliance may result in reducing the number and/or location of lots as
shown on the preliminary approved plat. The following conditions represent portions of the
Code. Requirements shall apply to all plats. The following conditions specifically address
drainage issues for this plat:

may contact this office for information on formatting covenants.
The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one) communications may occur
concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in
private with any decision -maker concerning the proposal. Decision -makers in the land use process include both
the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council.
All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all
interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the
evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court.
The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as
Appeals to the City Council.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
R.L. Alia Co. began construction of the Carr Road — Panther Creek Emergency Culvert Replacement
project on September 2, 2008, and completed construction on December 12, 2008. The awarded
amount of the contract was $474,771 and the final contract amount is $593,480.79. The difference
of $118,709.79 was the result of a change order for unanticipated obstructions encountered during
drilling of the pile shafts and changes in bid quantities.
The approved 2008 Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement Program budget for the Carr Road —
Panther Creek Emergency Culvert Repair was $813,500. The majority of the construction costs
were paid from the 2008 budget account. The approved 2009 project budget is $100,000. The 2009
Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement Program account has sufficient budget remaining to fund
the Final Pay Estimate (427/u65460).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Accept the Carr Road — Panther Creek Emergency Culvert Repair project, approve the Final Pay
Estimate in the amount of $4,832.00, and release the retainage of $29,674.04 after 60 days and all
required releases from the state have been obtained.

Project (CAG-08-133) Project Acceptance and Final Pay
Estimate
ISSUE:
Should Council accept the Carr Road — Panther Creek Emergency Culvert Repair project,
approve the Final Pay Estimate in the amount of $4,832.00, and release the retainage
bond after 60 days and all required releases from the state have been obtained?
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept the Carr Road — Panther Creek Emergency Culvert Repair project, approve the
Final Pay Estimate, and release the retainage bond after 60 days and all required releases
from the state have been obtained.
BACKGROUND:
R. L. Alia Company began construction of the Carr Road — Panther Creek Emergency
Culvert Repair project on September 2, 2008, and completed construction on
December 12, 2008. The awarded amount of the contract was $474,771 and the final
contract amount is $593,480.79. The difference of $118,709.79 was due to the
following factors:
■ Increase in the quantities of gravel to control groundwater and additional
armoring of the channel embankment downstream of the culvert.
■ Extra work required to drill pile shafts due to obstructions. During the drilling of
the shafts for the soldier pile wall, the contractor encountered subsurface obstructions
Council/Carr Road Final Pay
January 29, 2009
Page 2 of 2
including large rocks, boulders and pieces of concrete and metal that resulted in
a two week delay in completing the installation of the steel piles.
■ Extra work required to drill and install a dewatering well that was required to
control groundwater seepage.
The approved 2008 Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement Program budget for
the Carr Road — Panther Creek Emergency Culvert Repair project was $813,500,
which included a grant from the King Conservation District, in the amount of
$110,000. The majority of the construction costs were paid from the 2008 budget.
The approved 2009 project budget is $100,000. The 2009 Surface Water Utility
Capital Improvement Program (427/U65460) has sufficient budget remaining to fund
the Final Pay Estimate.
Because the project was designed to protect water quality and improve fish passage
and habitat, the City applied for and received a grant from the King Conservation
District, in the amount of $ 110,000, which will be applied toward the project
construction costs.
CONCLUSION:
Accept the Carr Road — Panther Creek Emergency Culvert Repair project, approve the
Final Pay Estimate in the amount of $4,832 and release the retainage of $29,674.04 after
60 days and all required releases from the state have been obtained.
