that Renton has once again won the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award
Presentation Award, Employee
from the Government Finance Officers Association for the City's 2004 Budget.
Recognition
Explaining that Renton is noted for the amount of detail in its budget, she
introduced budget team members Sylvia Doerschel, Finance Analyst
Supervisor, and Jill Masunaga, Finance Analyst III, who ensure the integrity of
the document. Ms. Runkle gave special thanks to Ms. Doerschel who plans to
soon retire from the City.
Ms. Doerschel recognized the many staff members, Citywide, who assist in

Technician, and Debbie Willard, Print & Mail Coordinator.
PUBLIC HEARING
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Planning: R-1 Zone
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
Community Separators
public hearing to consider City Code amendments to enact a mandatory
clustering provision within the designated Urban Separators within R-1 zoning
and to require a mandatory open space tract.
Rebecca Lind, Planner Manager, pointed out that Renton has three designated
Urban Separator areas: May Valley, Cedar River, and the Talbot area by
Springbrook Creek. She noted that attention has been focused on the May
Valley area, as there is a pending annexation in the area known as the Merritt II
Annexation. Ms. Lind explained that Urban Separators provide physical and
visual distinctions between Renton and adjacent communities and define
Renton's boundaries. The types of land use included in Urban Separators are
highly constrained lands that contain critical areas and open space values, and
the purpose of the separators are to protect environmentally sensitive areas.
Ms. Lind stated that Urban Separator policies are currently implemented
through the low density residential section of Renton's Comprehensive Plan, as
well as through the R-1 zoning where one dwelling unit per net acre is allowed.
December 13, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 439,
She noted that development credit is not given for designated critical areas, or
for public and private roads.
In King County, Ms. Lind reported that Urban Separators are currently
implemented through a mandatory clustering standard requiring clustering away
from sensitive areas or "the axis of the Community Separators." In King
County's R-1, P zone, clustering and 50% open space retention is required.
Renton currently allows and encourages clustering but does not mandate it.
She pointed out that Renton's overall density regulations are approximately
20% lower than King County's regulations due to the difference in the density
calculations. King County calculates density based upon gross acreage, which
includes critical areas and public and private roads.
Continuing, Ms. Lind stated the staff recommends enacting regulations that are
more explicit than King County code. The proposed regulations include the
following: an Urban Separator overlay provision, a mandatory clustering
provision, a 50% open space requirement to include critical areas and buffers,
the prohibition of fencing that restricts access within the open space, and the
allowance of trails and utility connections. She explained that the trigger for
the open space requirement includes subdivision, lot line adjustment, building
permit, and major remodel. Additionally, a density bonus is proposed to adjust
for the difference between the net and gross densities. The density bonus
would allow up to one dwelling unit per gross acre, and the bonus provisions
include contiguous open space and enhancement of buffers.
Concluding, Ms. Lind stated that this issue will remain in Planning and
Development Committee, and staff will continue to review public testimony,
specific City Code language, and the map of critical areas and proposed open
space configuration.
Public comment was invited.
Jim Hanson, 17446 Mallard Cove Lane, Mt. Vernon, 98274, stated that he is
working with property owners in the original Merritt Annexation and May
Valley Urban Separator areas. He voiced his agreement with a majority the
proposed regulations, and made the following comments: allow modification
of the 50% open space requirement on some parcels; allow the crossing of open
space by emergency vehicles; the six -unit maximum clustering allowance along
with the 50% open space requirement may prohibit clustering the way the City
is proposing; the 50% open space requirement restricts the ability to develop
parcels due to the City's net density; and re -vegetation is important in the
critical areas but may not be appropriate in all parts of the open space separator.
Dan Gallagher, 19225 Talbot Rd. S., Renton, 98031, indicated that although he
supports clustering, he does not support it for his property which contains the
Springbrook Trout Farm. He emphasized that no one can care for his property
better than his family. Additionally, he expressed his support for clustering on
the neighboring Cleveland Park property if half is reserved for a wildlife area
and the other half for the park.
Jerri Wood, 12408 SE 98th St., Renton, 98056, stated that she is also speaking
on behalf of her mother, Mary Lou Zimmerman, who lives at 13703 SE May
Valley Rd., Renton, 98055. Thanking the City for the proposed 50% open
space requirement, Ms. Wood noted the importance of the Urban Separator.
She said continued development along NE Sunset Blvd. has affected the quality
of life of people who live along May Creek. She explained that over-
December 13, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 440
development leads to flooding and erosion, which affects not only the Urban
Separator but also the areas surrounding May Creek, including the mouth of
May Creek at Lake Washington. Ms. Wood added that neighbors are divided
over what can and cannot be done with their property, and stressed that any
action taken should not harm the affected property owners.
Randy LaVigne, 14833 SE Jones Pl. Renton, 98058, voiced his opposition to
the taking of private property for purposes such as this, but indicated that he
does support the purchasing of open space.
Dennis Noland, 14326 SE 100th Pl., Renton, 98059, stating that he has lived
adjacent to the May Creek Urban Separator for 25 years, expressed his support
for the clustering and 50% open space requirements. Pointing out that many
landowners are pushing for annexation to Renton for access to the City's sewer
service, Mr. Noland stressed that Renton has a responsibility to determine the
type and appropriateness of the development that takes place.
Julie Bonwell, 9616 146th Ave. SE, Renton, 98055, explained how the May
Valley Urban Separator fits in the Puget Sound's larger regional open space
system. Emphasizing that open space corridors must be established and
preserved, she stated that requiring clustering and 50% open space is a step
towards that goal. She provided Councilmembers with a map showing the
greenbelt, open space, State and local parks, rural lands, and Urban Separators
from Cougar Mountain Regional Wildlife Park to Lake Washington. Ms.
Bonwell recommended that the 50% permanent open space requirement also
exclude critical areas.
Jim Bonwell, 9616 146th Ave. SE, Renton, 98055, expressed his concern about
the way property is developed, saying that land is often leveled out prior to
building, with not even a tree left standing. He noted that this destroys buffers,
and negatively affects surrounding property. Mr. Bonwell stated that he favors
a 50% or greater open space requirement, clustering, and a better way to
develop property.
Andrew Duffus, 9605 143rd Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, described the positive
actions of the City of Renton over the past 15 years pertaining to the May
Valley Urban Separator, which included supporting the addition of a map of
existing Urban Separators to the Countywide Planning Policies. Mr. Duffus
urged Council to follow past visionary decision making and amend City Code
to require mandatory clustering and 50% permanent open space tracts within
the Urban Separators.
Jean Rollins, 9605 143rd Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, pointed out that clustering
and 50% open space retention has been required in the May Valley area since
1983. She also pointed out the important role Urban Separators play in the
regional open space system, noting that Countywide Planning Policies call for
technical development regulations that maintain and steward Urban Separators.
Ms. Rollins asked that Council reaffirm its long-standing commitment to Urban
Separators by requiring clustering away from sensitive areas and 50%
permanent open space.
Bob Blayden, 9933 143rd Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, stated that he owns six
acres within the Merritt 11 Annexation area. He expressed his support for the
50% open space requirement if the maximum density is allowed. He explained
that without the maximum density he would only be allowed five lots, and the
loss of one lot affects the overall cost of development. Saying that he was
December 13, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 441
careful to protect May Creek by installing a retention pond when he built in the
past, Mr. Blayden noted the need to be able to cross the Urban Separator for
sewer and stormwater retention and secondary access for emergency vehicles in
order to develop the property.
Debra Rogers, 5326 NE 22nd Ct., Renton, 98058, representing the Stonegate
Homeowners Association, spoke in favor of the 50% open space retention
requirement, as well as developing away from critical areas. She pointed out
that the Stonegate neighborhood contains Greens Creek and a portion of the
Urban Separator, emphasizing that residents want the May Creek area
protected.
Correspondence was read from Larry Phillips, Metropolitan King County
Council Chair, 516 3rd Ave. Room 1200, Seattle, 98104, recommending that
Renton use the 50% open space requirement within Urban Separators as
allowed in King County's R-1 zone.
The following e-mail was read into the record in support of the 50% open space
requirement in the Urban Separators: Connie Marsh, 1175 NW Gilman Blvd.,

Wigren, a Renton High School student. The Recreation Division staff met with
Mr. Wigren and other interested students to inform them of teen -oriented
activities offered through the Renton recreation program. The students were
pleased to discover that many of the activities that they were interested in were
already available at the North Highlands Neighborhood Center. Several have
become members of the Renton Youth Council to help plan future programs.
The Recreation Division staff will continue working with the students to ensure

R-1 CLUSTERING PROVISIONS
COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF NEW CLUSTERING PROVISIONS
FOR THE R-1 ZONE WITHIN URBAN SEPARATORS
December 13, 2004
The Administration is recommending the adoption of clustering provisions in the R-1 Zone.
Such provisions would make Renton's R-1 zoning more consistent with how the County's R-1
Zone implements relevant Countywide Planning Policies (CPP) relating to Urban Separators.
Urban Separators are permanent low -density areas that cannot be redesignated within the CPP
20-year planning cycle. Also, any modifications to development regulations governing these
areas must be reviewed by King County. Renton has three designated Urban Separators: May
Valley, Cedar River, and the Talbot area by Springbrook Creek in the south end of the City (see
map on reverse side).
Urban Separators are currently implemented in King County through a mandatory clustering
standard requiring clustering away from sensitive areas or "the axis of the Community
Separators." In the County's R-1, P zone, clustering and 50% open space retention is required.
Renton's Comprehensive Plan addresses Urban Separators in the Community Design Element
and in the Land Use Element. These areas are also designated Residential Low Density on the
City's Land Use Map.
The major difference between Renton and the County regarding R-1 development patterns
occurs in the application of clustering provisions and density calculation. Renton currently
allows and encourages clustering but does not mandate it. Also, Renton calculates density based
upon net acreage, which excludes all critical areas and all private and public road easements.
King County calculates density based upon gross acreage, which includes critical areas and
public and private roads.
Recommendation:
• Enact a mandatory clustering provision.
Use the 50% open space requirement in King County Code rather than 30% as
originally recommended.
• Enact the following regulations that are more explicit than King County Code.
o Allow the 50% open space requirement to include critical areas and critical
area buffers.
o Prohibit fencing that restricts access within open space.
Council Hearing Handout 12-6-04.doc\
o Allow trails and utility connections, including maintenance access for utilities.
o Require the open space requirement within designated critical areas and
critical area buffers upon building permit, major re -model or construction of
accessory structures for developed properties within the urban separator.
• Allow a density bonus up to one -dwelling unit per gross acre. Establish the following
bonus provisions:
o contiguous open space, and
o re -vegetation within the open space network.

RE: Visionary clustering & SO%permanent open space tracts in urban separators
Madam Mayor & Council:
Ileaf ill
For the past 15 years the City of Renton decision makers have always done right for May Valley.
Now council gets to consider development regulations within the community greenbelt known as the
May Valley Urban Separator.
Way back on December 18th, 1989 Renton City Council turned down an annexation and
development proposal that would have resulted in 198 homes on the slopes and shores of May
Creek. At that same meeting Council unanimously adopted a motion; "to work with King County on
further developing May Valley as a scenic and recreational corridor." This dedication proved
visionary. Indeed, a few years later the state Growth Management Act required "open space
corridors within and between urban areas."
In 1992 City and County staffjointly identified the May Valley Urban Separator during a technical
review of the King County Comprehensive Plan. On April 5th, 1993 the Mayor signed Resolution
No. 2960 which stated in part, that May Creek Valley "should be classified ... as an urban separator."
In 1997 the Renton Planning Commission, and later full Council and city staff, pulled on high rubber
boots slogged through wetlands and peered over eroding ravines of Western May Valley. As a result
of these field trips and citizen testimony council adopted Ordinance No. 4732 which required one
dwelling unit per acre pre -zoning. The City of Renton has always done the right thing in May valley.
During the development of the May Creek Basin Plan, Renton surface water staff recommended
level H stream protection standards be applied to any future development in the Coal Creek Parkway
sub -basin of the May Creek Basin. The Coal Creek Parkway sub -basin is the area between Coal
Creek Parkway and 148th Avenue SE straddling May Creek. I.E. The May Valley Urban Separator.
The City Council ratified this when it adopted the Basin Plan.
In the year 2000 King County proposed map amendments to its Comprehensive Plan which included
designating the area as a Greenbelt/Urban Separator. Once again this was supported by Renton. In
a letter dated June 2nd, 2000 to King County Council, Mayor Tanner wrote: "The proposed
Greenbelt/Urban separator represents an extension of the open space that extends west along May
Creek to I-405. The May Creek greenbelt provides `environmental, visual, recreational and wildlife
benefits' It also serves as a visual break between the cities of Renton and Newcastle."
On December 11, 2001 at the Growth Management Planning Council, which is a sub -council of the
Puget Sound Regional Council, Renton's suburban cities representative, now the Honorable Kathy
Keolker-Wheeler supported a motion that added a map of existing urban separators to the
Countywide Planning Policies. Further, this motion recognized that urban separators are part of "a
regional strategy serving multiple functions and benefits to the citizens and communities of King
County."
Finally on December 1 st, two weeks ago, after two public meetings Renton's Planning Commission
recommended "that clustered development be required and that a mandatory 50% open space tract
be established to meet Urban Separator policies."
City Council is now considering development code that will require mandatory clustering and 50%
permanent open space tracts in Renton's Urban Separators when annexed to the City. Please
recognize all the thoughtful decision making that has led up to this moment and codify mandatory
clustering and 50% permanent open space tracts within the Urban Separators.

-linical Revie,x Area NC-3 (NeLvcastle)
ption; This area is within a partlai!;' Urba_nlZed portion of the May Creek
drainage Basin m
and contains a lae undeveloped tzact known as
"'�%ilitegate" which, is proposed for ceveloprnent as a residential
subdivision a: densities of one dwelling unit per acre. An
nvizcr.men ai Impact Statement is 'oeing prepared or the proposed
project. The area is not served by sewers but sewer and
water service are accessible. The a --era is heaviiv forested, providing
vvildl?i: habitat lir kaJn - with th'. -K-ng County Park, and ur ban
"
development will increase sedi nentat;or: aild erosion in the drainage
basin.
Recommendation: The City of Renton reconmends that this area be. designated as
Urban,. and included within the City'S urba_^L Growth Area. it
should be classifies within, the City's Comprehensive Plan as an
t rbar: separator, "Lcw Density Single Family Residential (IDS").
This classification allows two zoning categories: Low Density
Single Family (SQL) at one dweiling u�:i. per acre, and Resource
Conserlation at 1 dwelling unit per 10 acres. ": he recommended
future zoring classification is Resource Conservation.
IL Technical Review Area R-2 (May Creels)
Description: The lylay Cre--k valley is a sensitive cinyironr':enLai area containing
critical and resource areas identified ir. the Cri`ical/Resource Area
inventories completed by the City of Renton and King County. The
area :s sur-ounded by urban: c.evelopment but remains at low
densities with large undeveloped ::acts. Erosion and sedimentation
are occurring in the May Creek sy stern which is under, review in a
basin -wide study.
Recommendation: The City of Renton :ecornrle, - :hat this area be designated as
Urban and included within the City s urban Area Growth Area. It.
s:r,ouid be classified Within the C:,y's Comprehensive Plan as an
4
urban sepazator, "Low Density Single Family Residential" (LDSF).
7111s classification: allows two zoning categores: Low Density
Single artily (SF) and Resource Conservation (RC). The
recommended future zonLng is Resource Conservation.
hnical Review Area R-3 (East Renton)
on: This area begins at 148th Ave. SE, ant, extends to 156th Ave. SE.
area is semi-rurai, with some srnailer lots and subdivisions, but
tier- are many large tracts of vacant iand. Oppo� �uriities remain for
small scale agricultural! uses and c;=.intenance of resource lands.
The arena is not se: veal by sewers, but has fire and water services. It
is also located within t;:e May Creak Drainage Basin which would
be seve.ely impacted by new urban development within the area.
Exoalnsion of services to urban ;revels would not be feasible within
the LO veer olannlnc horizon.
endation: Tine City of Renton recommends :hat this Technical- Review Area be
designated as Rural, and remain outside the City's urban Growth
;%Tea, althcuSz-'i It would remain within the City's Sphere of
in;quence,
n'. Tecaical Revie Area R-I (Briarwood)
Description: i lie Bnarwcod neighborhood is a suburbar. residential district whir h
has been developed with inadequate urban services. Much of the
a;e�a has been subdivided into urban size parcels of 15,000 square
feet or less. The area has been developed with septic systems only,
of which many are in poor condition, and sewer services are not
presently available. It is within the Cedar River drainage system,
and is iocated over the Ceda: Raver aquifer, which is the City's sole
source m: riicioa1 water supply. The area presents a high risk for
contamination of the aquifer, and sewer needs to be extended.
Recommendation: The City of Renton recommends that the B 'arwood district be .
included within the urban are as defined on the map. This area
genP ally included properties that lave already been subdivided at
urban densities. The area should be designated on the City's
Comprehensive Plan as Single Family (SF), but with a ten-year
phasing overlay similar to the Soos Crwk PIan that prohibits
subdi•✓ision or develoorr,ent �.lrittl sewers and other urban services are
av diable.

the. presence of 'vlay Cree : and ether potential issues recommend against higher density residential development and rdgher intensity land uses.
The area proposed for the GreerbelbTUrban separator represents an c�,tension of the public opea space

Greenbelt/Urban Separator, together v;ith the areas :under public ovvnerslup, implements the intent of
Countywide Planning Peliry LU-27. As stated in Police LU-27, the May Creek greenbelt provides
"en,4rom-nental, visual, recreational and N ildlife benefits it also sen es 'as a visual break behveen the
Cities of Rector. and Newcastle.
Finally, included in the d::-1Z lla}' Cree': asirl ActiOn Plan, coop era iv ely produced by King Co,mty and
the City of Renton, is a recommendation that areas draining to lvla;: Valley be maintained at existing
zoned densities. The parcels proposed for GreeribelULlrban Separator designation fall %within the area
subject to this recommendation. Aitliough the Basin Action Plan is not he, adopted, the Comprehensive

The Urban Separator designation exists for several purposes. One purpose is to create
and preserve open space corridors t'na'i define the boundaries between communities
within the urban areas. Another is to create a seamless connection between open
space lands that are port of the larger regional open space s;rsiel-l.
The May Valley Urban Separator was cooperatively identified by King County and the
City of Renton as a regionally recognized and designated urban separator, as well as a
part of the regional open space system. The ,`Merritt it Annexation includes 20.59 acres
of the May Valley Urban Separator.
King County's Comprehemmive Plan and zoning code implement the Urban Separator
designation through the ,-1 zone category. Kinc) County's R-1 zone creates and
maintains open space corridors by requiring cie�•iclopmen, to be ciustered to retain at
least 50% of the site in perr��anent open space tracls.

COMMITTEE REPORT
December 6, 2004
R-1 Zone Community Separators
(Referred January 26, 2004)
The Planning and Development Committee reviewed the staff analysis and Planning
Commission recommendation on R-1 cluster and open space requirements in the City's
designated Urban Separators. The Planning Commission recornmended that clustered
development be required and that a mandatory -0% open space tract be established to meet
Urban Separator policies. The Planning and Development Ccrcniictee concurs with this
recommendation and further recommends that staff develop an ordinance that provides
equivalent or better implementation of the Urban Separator than currently .set forth in the King
County code. The Committee further recommends that the implementation of urban
separators include a mechanism to grant a density bonus up to the maximum density presently
allowed by the King County code, provision of utilities, including sewer connections to
parcels, and/or consideration of a means to achieve a connected and contiguous open space
corridor within the Urban Separator. Further review should consider issues such as fencing
requirements, the location of the open space corridor within a parcel.; and the threshold for
establishing the open space tract on individual parcels. This item N�vi11 remain in Committee
for further review and recommendation on these implementation issues.

RE: City of Renton's Urban Separator Development Regulations
Dear Madam Mayor:
Audlence, & nmenf
//��
A)-I3g,a00i
Pa h /i L / earl ,,j
The City of Renton fully understands the crucial provisions in implementation of urban separators.
The City recognized the need for care in May Valley and its role in providing open space long before
the Growth Management Act (GMA) mandated it. I know the City will ensure their development
regulations provide better implementation of Urban Separators than the County.
First are my comments for the May Valley area which is where I live:
The requirement for clustering and at least 50% open space retention is nothing new for the May
Valley area. This has been required since 1983, the year King County adopted the "Newcastle
Community Plan" which designated the area SC-P. The designation SC-P was one dwelling unit per
acre with the requirement for clustering and 50% permanent open space tracts.
In 1994, during the development of the King County Comprehensive Plan in response to GMA, the
county changed the area's zoning to R-1-P. This R-1 designation still meant one dwelling unit per
acre and the "P" "provision" required clustering and 50% permanent open space as it had been for
the previous 11 years.
After considerable study beginning back in 1992 the May Valley urban separator was cooperatively
identified by the City of Renton and King County in the late 1990's. The May Valley Urban
Separator was an Executive Recommended King County Comprehensive Plan 2000 - Land Use
Amendment which was adopted in 2001. Cooperatively identified and fully supported by the City of
Renton, in 2001 King County amended its Comprehensive Plan and adopted the permanent
Greenbelt/Urban Separator designation for 107 acres in the west end of May Valley, all within
Renton's PAA. The City of Renton ratified this. The May Valley urban separator lies directly
between the borders of the City of Renton and the City of Newcastle, i.e. between urban areas.
Since 1983 the May Valley area has been one dwelling unit per acre with the requirement for
clustered development and 50% permanent open space. Nothing has changed in that regard for 21
years.
Now my comments for all urban separators:
King County Countywide Planning Policies (CPP) implement the State Growth Management Act
(GMA). The GMA requires designation of urban growth areas and each urban growth area shall
permit urban densities and shall include greenbelt and open space areas. (RCW 36.70A.110 (1) &
(2). Further GMA states, "each county and city shall identify open space corridors within and
between urban areas. They shall include lands useful for recreation, wildlife habitat, trails, and
connection of critical areas." (RCW 36.70A.160)
The concept of Urban Separators was developed within the Countywide Planning Policies in
response to the requirement of RCW36.70A.110. The CPP call for preservation of open space and
corridors through interconnected systems regionally and within jurisdictions locally. Specifically
CPP CC-12 states, " All jurisdictions shall use the full range of regulatory and land preservation tools
available to create, maintain and steward the regional open space system which has been
cooperatively identified." Urban separators play an important role in the regional open space system.
I know the City of Renton, "shall use the full range of regulatory and land preservation tools
available to create, maintain and steward (this) regional open space system".
Fulfilling their role in the regional open space system, urban separators exist within and between
urban areas to create greenbelts between cities. Urban Separators, in addition to protecting
environmentally sensitive areas, are a visual break that helps define a city's boundaries and create a
sense of community. However, there have to be several technical aspects to urban separators if they
are to be retained for future generations. First, they must be low density such as R-l. Also, there
must be development regulations that maintain the sense of greenbelt definition. I.e., lot clustering
and permanent open space. King County development regulations maintain urban separators by
requiring clustering and retention of 50% of the site in an open space tract. Further, "The
development shall be clustered away from sensitive areas or the axis of designated corridors such
as urban separators.. `: (King County Code Title 21 A.12.030; 17a(7) & 17b., and Title 21A.14.040
A. & C.)
Countywide Planning Policy reinforces the need for technical development regulations to "maintain
and steward" urban separators as part of the regional open space system. CPP LU-27 states in
part, "The maintenance of these urban separators is a regional as well as a local concern. Therefore,
no modifications should be made to the development regulations governing these areas without
King County review and concurrence."
Urban Separators are a regional issue. The Puget Sound Regional Council, Growth Management
Planning Council (GMPC) which is the largest governing body within King County recognized the
regional significance of urban separators. A motion by the GMPC on December 11, 2001
reaffirmed the regional sknilcance of all three of Renton's designated urban separators and
mapped them as part of the of the CPP. This was then ratified by King County.
Summary:
In summary, May Valley has been zoned one dwelling unit per acre with provisions for clustering
and 50% open space since 1983. It has been that way for 21 years. This area's provision of open
space has stood the test of time and needs to be fully maintained.
Urban separators are a regional provision for open space corridors within and between urban
areas and are part of the County's planning to meet the GMA requirements. The CPP call for
technical development regulations that maintain and steward urban separators. Those regulations
guide that development shall be clustered away from sensitive areas or the axis of designated urban
separators.
I know the City of Renton strongly supports fully maintaining the valuable resource of urban
separators. I respectfully ask the City of Renton Council reaffirm their long-standing commitment to
urban separators by amending their development regulations to require clustering away from
sensitive areas or the axis, and 50% permanent open space in urban separators.
Your grand children one day will thank you.
Sincerely,
J Rollins

CITY OF RENTON

RECEIVED
CITY CLERK'S OFFCE
I understand that during the next few weeks both the Renton Planning Commission and
Renton City Council will consider zoning in designated urban separator annexation
areas.
As you know, the Urban Separator designation exists for several purposes. One purpose
is to create and preserve open space corridors that define the boundaries between
communities within the urban areas. Another is to create a seamless connection
between open space lands that are part of the larger regional open space system.
The May Valley Urban Separator was cooperatively identified by King County and the
City of Renton as a regionally recognized and designated urban separator, as well as a
part of the regional open space system.
King County's Comprehensive Plan and zoning code implement the Urban Separator
designation through the R-1 zone category. King County's R-1 zone allows
development to occur at an overall density of 1 unit per acre and requires that
development be clustered to retain at least 50% of the site in permanent open space
tracts with the aim of creating and maintaining open space corridors.

I have, reviewed the Renton City planning staff memorandum of November 10, 2004
recommending that the permanent open space tract requirement be 30% rather than
50%. This recommendation seems to be driven by the potential loss of units because of
the city's own policy relative to net developable area and because of the city's 4,500
square feet minimum lot size requirement. As I understand it, there is a reluctance to
allow smaller lot sizes because of the impact to the city's desired residential character.
However, I am not persuaded that this would happen, given that the underlying density
of the R-1 zone is only 1 unit per acre. The overall character will still be low density. I
suspect that the only real, quantifiable effect of the city staff recommendation is a net
reduction in the amount of open space. These open spaces are the primary element
of our region's precious Urban Separator network.
Please consider modifying City of Renton zoning regulations to require 50% open space
within Urban Separators. This tried and true zoning policy has allowed the county to
ensure the creation and preservation of open space corridors over the past twenty
years.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Dear City Council,
I am delighted to hear that the staff recommendation for the R-1 Zone Community Separators includes
50% permanent open space and clustering to maximize the benefit of the greenbelts created by a
community separator! What a pleasure to hear that an Urban Separator will carry through the annexation
process!
As the WRIA 8 basin struggles with the demands of ESA and growth management it is encouraging to
hear that Renton is willing to protect the areas that help to attenuate water runoff and provide excellent
habitat to help balance in increased density that is required by the Urban Growth Boundary. This
willingness is a bonus for all of us that live in the WRIA 8 basin with you.
I look forward to hearing that the Renton City Council upheld these recommendations! In addition I look
forward to hearing more about the City of Renton's commitment to protecting the basin.
Sincerely,

City Council
I am writing concerning the R-1 Zone community separators for the property between May Valley, Coal
Creek and 148th. It is my understanding the city council supports fifty percent permanent open space.
I would like to voice my support for the continuation of the 50% permanent open space ratio. As a native
of the Northwest, it is the privilege of experiencing nature up close that has kept me here.
Wildlife habitat and stewardship is important to the quality of life for all of us. Habitat is a wild animal's
"support system." Within it, an animal meets all its life requirement: food, water, shelter and space.
Quoting Wildlife Habitat and Its Stewardship,
"No matter how many ways you provide food, water and shelter, space will always be a limiting factor for
wildlife."
Please help protect that precious combination.
I believe growth can happen with the balance between humans and the needs of nature. The area under
discussion is an area that is the habitat of herons, eagles, hawks, coyotes, deer, squirrels, raccoons and
many birds. Not to mention all the animals we don't see. In our yard, we use organic products on our
lawn and shrubs to reduce impact on Green Creek. We do our small part to help reduce the impact of all
the building going on by planting plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife. We have bird feeders
designed to support different species of birds. We see Bluebirds, Bushtits, Mallards, Steller's jays,
Robins, Quail, House wrens, Crows, Chickadees, Dark -eyed juncos, Hummingbirds, Red -winged
Blackbirds, Northern Flicker, Red -breasted Nuthatch, Varied Thrush, Black -headed Grosbek, Spotted
Towhee and American Goldfinch in our back yard. These animals can not be sustained by backyard
sanctuary's only. It is the support of the larger wildlife area that is helping to make this diversity possible.
The book "Landscaping for Wildlife in the Pacific Northwest" has many passages that could be used in
support of protecting wild areas. It talks about the delicate balance that can be upset by human
intervention. "one example is when predatory species such as foxes, owls or hawks disappear because
there is no longer adequate habitat for them."
Other passages include:
"As a wildlife steward, your goal is to meet the requirements of wildlife in a way that doesn't create
problems for or for the animals."
"The space requirements for some wildlife species may be larger than you imagine, A Pileated
woodpecker covers about 300 acres in search of tree cavities for nesting and its main food source."
"Despite ups and downs, wildlife populations tend to stay relatively stable in the long term if human
intervention and natural catastrophes don't significantly change land use of vegetation where they live."
"Although you need to consider several things when managing for birds around your property, the most
important is to protest undisturbed wild areas. Examples include any size wetland, areas of tangled
vegetation, unmoved grassy areas, and any place that contains snags. "
Please vote to continue the 50% permanent open space ratio.

I support the 50% permanent open space requirement for R-1 Zone Community Separators.
Reducing the open space goes against the original concept of preserving sensitive and natural areas and
providing a buffer between developed areas. Urban separators and green belts often follow natural
geographic features such as streams and other sensitive areas that provide habitat and corridors for
wildlife. A reduction in open space would affect wildlife like putting up roadblocks on a highway would
affect us.
Maintaining at least 50% permanent open space in these areas will help wildlife, and enhance the quality
of life for the rest of us by providing environmental diversity. This will be valued even more as time goes
on and the population grows.
However, in fairness to the property owners that are affected by the 50% open space requirement, they
should be encouraged to maintian good stewardship of their land, not inadvertantly penalized for providing
a public benefit.
Allowing increased development in these areas is the wrong approach and sets a bad example.

Dear Council Members:
You may have received my earlier and longer letter to the Boundary Review
Board regarding the Merritt II Annexation. I would very much like to see
this area annexed to Renton as I believe the city will be able to even
better manage this area as long as they have the land use code elements
needed to insure this area is a separator of two urban areas as well as the
more complicated and perhaps more important job of being a CONNECTOR between
May Creek Park and Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park as well as a
CONNECTOR of the creek and creekside habitats of May Creek.
To summarize: the county has successfully managed this area over the last 20
years. This area
is so important and has so many special features it requires some special
land
use code provisions for it to be protected. The City of Renton must have
good
clustering language, good language to protect dedicated open space for the
long
term and provide for the significant dedication of open space such as the
county's requirement for a minimum of 50% of gross area being dedicated as
permanent protected open space.
Thank you for your consideration.

We live in the Renton Community of Stonegate.
Our name is Paul and Tracy Ficca, we live at 5306 NE 23rd Court, Renton, WA
98059.
We urge you to keep our R-1 zone cummunity urban separators. This is what
makes our community BEAUTIFUL AND VALUABLE. Also, urban separators provide
many benefits, including the following:
1. Define a community's borders with a greenbelt,
2. Greenbelts help create a sense of community,
3. Greenbelts enhance our quality of life (breathing space)
4. Urban Separators can help mitigate surface water problems.
5. Urban separators contain environmentally sensitive features;
a. flood plains
b. steep slopes & landslide hazards
c. rivers, creeks and wetlands
d. fish & wildlife habitat
These critical areas are protected by urban separators and the 50% open
space requirement.
Thank you for your support,

our roads and reduce water pollution); 3) creation of natural recreational
opportunities for a range of age groups.
We urge you to vote in favor of designated permanent open space equivalent

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
A property owner desiring to re -use the former convalescent facility at 1100 Edmonds Ave NE. for a
holistic medical treatment facility approached the City. The proposed use falls between the
definitions of medical institution, medical office, and convalescent facility and includes
components of each now separate use.
To allow this use in the City, an amendment to these definitions is needed because each current
definition excludes at least a portion of the proposed activity. Staff recommends that the medical
institution definition be amended for this purpose. The amended definition would allow a mixed -
use medical institution with components of convalescent care and medical office in addition to the
traditional over -night or shorter -term care facilities.
The text amendment review process (Section 4-9-025) allows an exception to the annual docket
"bundling" of proposed code amendments, allowing "imperative" code amendments to be given a
higher priority and processed outside the normal annual review cycle.
X
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Prioritize an amendment to the definition of "Medical Institution" for review outside the normal Title
IV docket review process and refer this issue to the Planning and Development Committee and the
Planning Commission for review and recommendation.

Economic Development, Neighborhoods,

STAFF CONTACT: Rebecca Lind (ext. 6588)
SUBJECT: Exception to Title IV docket review process for zoning code
amendment to the definition of "Medical Institution"
ISSUE:
The existing definitions of "Medical Institution," "Medical Office," and "Convalescent
Facility" include exclusionary language that prohibits a mixed -use treatment facility that
includes components of all of these land uses. The property owner of the existing convalescent
facility on Sunset Blvd. is requesting consideration of a code amendment to allow a holistic
health facility that combines out -patient treatment, short-term stay, retail products, gardens,
doctor's offices, massage, and other forms of physical therapy.
RECOMMENDATION:
• Amend the definition of "Medical Institution" to allow a wider range of medical practices
to occur on -site as accessory functions to the hospital, clinic, or sanitarium use.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The proposed holistic clinic is an example of a non -tradition medical use that challenges the
assumptions underlying mainstream approaches to land use definitions. The activities
described in the attached brochure for the "Healing Arts Clinic" are similar to a medical office
use, however, as part of the business plan of this organization, over -night stays and a retreat
atmosphere is incorporated into the treatment program. According to the proponents, many
clients travel distances to use the facility, and at the present, need to stay in hotels. A small
short-term convalescent use is envisioned within the facility to allow clients to remain on site.
December 11 2004
Page 2
The proposed amendments to the medical institution definition would facilitate this non-
traditional medical activity, but could also be useful for mainstream "mixed -use" medical
applications, such as cancer care facilities where patients need a place to stay for treatment.
The proposed definition would retain the hospital, clinic, or sanitarium as the primary activity,
but allow a combination of medical offices, convalescent, and other activities, such as retail as
accessory functions.
CONCLUSION:
An amendment to existing definitions to allow a response to evolving medical institutions is
supported to allow innovative uses and activities in the City.

FROM: Alex Pietsch Administrator

STAFF CONTACT: Rebecca Lind (6588)
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment Pre -Application # 01 —2005:
Request To Re -Designate From Single Family (R-8 Zoned) To
Corridor Commercial (Commercial Arterial Zoned) For Property At
4915 NE Sunset Blvd
ISSUE:
• Whether the proposed map amendment and commercial use of property meets review
criteria for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
• Deny the request for consideration of a Comprehensive Plan map amendment to
Corridor Commercial based on the finding that the application is not timely, and that
development of the property for commercial uses does not meet the intent of the
Corridor Commercial designation.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
Renton Municipal Code, section 4-9-020G, provides review criteria for Comprehensive Plan
amendments. To be eligible for further review, a proposal must demonstrate that the
application is timely, and the proposal must meet at least one of the following criteria.
1. The request supports the vision embodied in the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The request supports the adopted business plan goals established by the City Council.
3. The request eliminates conflicts with existing elements or policies.
December 1, 2004
Page 2
4. The request amends the Comprehensive Plan to accommodate new policy directives of the
City Council.
In this instance the request does not eliminate conflicts with existing elements or policies and it
does not accommodate new policy directives of the City Council. The City Council Business
Plan goals support business recruitment and a diversified employment base, but focus the
citywide economic development efforts on the Downtown and the Highlands Sub -area. This
location is not included in the Highlands study area. The Business Plan does support
neighborhood revitalization. Neighborhood revitalization objectives could be served by
residential land use at this location but would be more difficult to accomplish with commercial
development due to the predominance of lower density, single-family uses surrounding the site.
In any event, extension of the commercial area further west along Sunset Blvd. would result in
a strip commercial form of commercial development rather than the compact urban forms of
development supported in the Comprehensive Plan.
The vision embodied in the Comprehensive Plan provides direction for both the Single Family
designation and the Corridor Commercial designation. The City completed a mandated review
of the Comprehensive Plan vision and policies in 2004 as part of its response to the Growth
Management Act. During this review the commercial and residential policies were evaluated
and there was no need identified for expansion of commercial areas along the Sunset corridor.
There are still vacant and underutilized commercial parcels within these existing commercial
designations. In addition, the Commercial policies were revised to stipulate that Corridor
Commercial areas are intended to evolve away from strip commercial forms of development.
The re -designation of property at 4915 Sunset Blvd. is untimely because it would bring
additional commercial land into the corridor skipping over adjacent residential property and
creating an extension of strip commercial development. At the present time the Corridor
Commercial vision, as articulated in the Purpose Statement for the Corridor Commercial
designation, would not be readily implemented for this site.
Commercial Corridor Purpose Statement:
The Commercial Corridor district is characterized by concentrated, pre-existing commercial
activity, primarily in a linear urban form, that provides necessary goods and services for daily
living, accessible to near -by neighborhoods, serving a sub -regional market and
accommodating large volumes of traffic.
It is the intention of City objectives and policies that Commercial Corridor areas evolve from
"strip commercial" linear business districts to business areas characterized by enhanced site
planning incorporating efficient parking lot design, coordinated access, amenities, and
boulevard treatment. Commercial Corridor areas may include designated districts including
concentrations of specialized uses such as the Auto Mall, or features such as transit stops and a
combination of businesses creating a focal point of pedestrian activity and visual interest.
The property could, however, continue to be used for single-family development and continue
to implement the vision for single-family neighborhoods. The site could continue to be used in
its present condition or rehabilitated to promote neighborhood revitalization.

Single family Residential Purpose Statement
Lands in the Residential Single Family Designation are intended to be used for quality
residential detached development organized into neighborhoods at urban densities. It is
intended that larger subdivision, infill development, and rehabilitation of existing housing be
carefully designed to enhance and improve the quality of single-family living environments.
Policies in this section are to be considered together with the policies in the Regional Growth,
Residential Growth Strategy section of the Land Use Element, the Community Design Element,
and the Housing Element. Policies are implemented with R-8 zoning.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended the pre -application request for Corridor Commercial land use at 4915 Sunset
Blvd. not be forwarded to the Planning Commission for inclusion in the 2005 work program.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Renton Municipal Code section 4-9-020D provides for an annual filing deadline for Comprehensive
Plan amendments of December 15th each year. The deadline for pre -applications is October Vt . The
pre -applications are to be reviewed by Council in time for applicants to prepare a formal application
by December 15th. This deadline is set by the City Council to facilitate limitation of Comprehensive
Plan amendments to "one time each year" as stipulated in the Growth Management Act. The code
does not provide for administrative review or extension of this filing deadline. As a result of the
extensive 2004 Comprehensive Plan work program completed in November, staff did not have
adequate time to review pre -application requests received earlier this year or prepare materials for
Council review prior to the December 15th filing deadline. In addition, staff did not publish the
normal (courtesy) notice of the filing deadline informing the general public of the opportunity to
amend the Comprehensive Plan. Extension of the filing deadline to January 14th will not create an
additional review window or require any additional staff time. It will facilitate public participation
objectives of the Growth Management Act and support efficient project management. The proposed
extension would be a one- time allowance rather than a permanent change to the review process.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Extend the filing deadline for Comprehensive Plan Amendments from December 15, 2004 to
January 14, 2005 for the next annual review cycle.

SCOPE OF WORK - NARRATIVE
Proiect Description:
The Renton Fire Department on behalf of the King County Haz-Mat Providers Group will
purchase and coordinate the installation of 54 SCBA Pass through devices. The pass through
allows the person inside the Level A Suit to be connected to an outside air source without
breeching the integrity of the suit. The device connects to the standard RIT (Rapid Intervention
Team) kit used for rescue operations.
Use of this device allows for longer work times and Haz Mat Tech safety at WMD incidents.
Refilling of SCBA bottles can be done without removal of Level A Entry Suits. This time factor
can be critical during a WMD operation during monitoring or rescue operations.
The project will conclude by making the purchase and installation of the pass through devices
into the Level A Entry Suits. The installation will be conducted by a representative of the
manufacturer. The pass through devices will be divided between the 9 King County Haz-Mat
Teams making all Level A Entry Suits and SCBAs compatible for use regionally during a WMD.

Goal 4: Improve and enhance the Urban Area's ability to RESPOND to terrorism incident(s)
with seamless coordination and interoperability between public agencies and private entities to
minimize the impact of a TERRORIST AND CBRNE event upon our community through
collaboration and cooperation on planning strategies, policies, and funding.
Objective 4.13: Increase the CBRNE PPE, detection and mitigation capability within the Urban
Area by May 2005, or as resources become available
SCOPE OF WORK - NARRATIVE
Project Description:
The Renton Fire Department on behalf of the King County will purchase 9 digital cameras and
9 waterproof (underwater) cases for the cameras. The cameras will be disseminated to the 9
King County Haz-Mat Teams.
The goal is to provide all of the King County Haz-Mat teams the ability to take digital photos
inside the hot zone and be able to decontaminate the camera without damaging the pictures.
Use of this a digital camera at a WMD incident will allow regional HazMat responders to
document the scene, record items, products, materials, and conditions inside a "hot" zone. It
will allow command level personnel a visual picture of the scene they can get at a command
post or EOC. The pictures can be used by other regional responses for planning of long term
needs at a WMD incident based upon conditions and as the conditions change what further
resources will be needed.
The photographs will allow the Incident Commander to actually see what is going on inside the
hot zone. The photographs will also be useful to law enforcement as a potential source of
evidence. The Haz-Mat Teams can also utilize the photographs as source documentation for
actions taken at the scene. The cameras and cases will be researched, purchased and
delivered to the 9 King County Haz-Mat Teams. Each Team will sign a "Hand Receipt" for the
camera and the document will be collected and sent to KC OEM. Planned completion date for
the project is February 1, 2005

Area by May 2005, or as resources become available
SCOPE OF WORK - NARRATIVE
Project Description:
The Renton Fire Department on behalf of the King County Haz-Mat providers group will
purchase, and distribute to the 9 Haz-Mat Teams in King County. The Dosimeters will provide
members with assessments of their exposure at an incident involving radiological or "dirty
bomb" materials from a terrorist attack. This knowledge is critical for the Incident Commanders
to ensure the health and safety of the team members. This will ensure that all Haz Mat Teams
members and operation level personnel operating at a radiological incident are afforded the
same level of protection. The dosimeters are the Thermo Electron electronic dosimeters that
have been purchased from earlier grants.

Noise levels
Ladies, Gentlemen.
For a couple of years now, myself, friends and neighbors have been and still are, sick and tired of these
noisy Honda's (and a few other cars but mostly 90% Honda's) with these rediculous coffee -can fart
mufflers. They serve no purpuse other than they are irretating noise poluters.
My view on this subject is in a non -partial manner towards the make of vehicles.
I thought cars and motorcycles (especially Harley Davidson motorcycles) had to have mufflers on them to
not exceed certain noise levels or decibles. At some point this needs to stop. We all see this while sitting
in traffic and or while trying to have a converstation at the local Cafe or better yet, entertaining in your own
backyard. It's embarrassing and maybe it's time (such as the City of Renton) to enforce the noise level
laws. I'm assuming there's an ordinance on this?
If there's not, is there a plan?
I'm just a concerned citizen living in Renton in the Monterey Terrace neighborhood overlooking downtown
Renton. Hopefully the rest of the state may recognize noise pollution from these type of modified vehicles
as a problem.
If this is a subject at your next meeting, I'd like to sit-in if possible.
Thanks for your time.

Heather Downs Park
Dear Mayor Keolker-Wheeler and Council Members,
I'm writing this email to express our concern over finding out that the
Heather Downs Park might not go through as planned. My family and I have lived
in the Heather Downs area for 6 years (Renton for 24 years). We had been
expecting the Park to be built for several years. Finding out that 2005 would begin
the process, made us very happy. Recently finding out that the money to
develop it might be frozen is NOT acceptable to us. We are requesting that you as
Mayor and the Council continue with development of the Park as soon as
possible. Being a community activist/volunteer with many different organizations in
Renton, I understand the value of a promise. If you need to do any focus group
meeting or surveys, please feel free to contact me. I will help with whatever I
can.
Sincerely,

Heather Downs Park
Dear Mayor,
My wife and I moved to Renton with our 3-1/2 year old son in 1998 from
Bellevue. I have coached Little League here in Renton for 5 seasons.
There is not a park within 2 miles from our neighborhood that could be
used for a father and son to play catch, a family to ride bikes to
safely or even a neighborhood picnic. One of the things that we have
sorely missed is the neighborhood park system that Bellevue has become
known for. It was for this reason that we were so pleased to hear that
Heather Downs was selected to receive a neighborhood park that would not
require a car ride or crossing major thoroughfares on bicycles to reach
from our neighborhood. Those of us parents in the neighborhood have
waited in anticipation for over 18 months since the site was cleared of
the derelict housing for construction to begin on the new park.
Please consider this when you discuss the options at hand at tonight's
city council meeting.
Thank you for your time.
Respectfully yours,

Heather Downs Park
Madam Mayor -
I have lived in Heather Downs since 1996. 1 have heard about the city's
intention to build a park in our neighborhood and became quite excited when I
found out it was coming sooner than later. It would be so nice to be able to
walk to a park, rather than having to get in the car to drive to one.
I now understand there is a proposal to delay the building of the park for
various reasons. I wish to express my disappointment, for the money has been
ear -marked and the wait has been long.
Renton rightly prides itself on the quantity and quality of recreation
opportunities for its citizens. Please let this be another example of that pride
by reconsidering this proposal.
Respectfully,

Subject: Heather Downs Park Funding
Dear Mayor,
It has come to our attention that the 1 million dollars allocated for
the 2005 development of the long awaited Heather Downs Park may be
delayed or diverted by the Renton City Council. This would be a grave
error.
This park has been "in development" for over 20 years. When we moved
into our home in 1980 and started our family, we spoke with Director
John Webley regarding the timeline for park's development. We were
hoping our young children would have the opportunity to utilize this.
much needed play area. Unfortunately, they never had the chance to
enjoy such an area, and are now adults.
Since we moved to the Heather Downs area, there has been a tremendous
amount of housing growth. The nearest park is Kiwanis, which is over
1-1/2 miles away and across 2 of the busiest streets on the east hill,
Union and NE 4th Street. The amount of young children in our area is
phenomenal. When we watch the school bus load on the same corner where
the park would be developed, there are at least 35 elementary age
children. THIS IS ONLY ONE BUS! This does not take into account the
numerous other stops in our dead end area. This park would become one
of the most highly used in the Renton system, just by virtue of the
location. We need this park!
The ultimate reason for the development of this park is the safety of
our children. There is no access to an acceptable play area for the
population of the Heather Downs area. Many of the streets in the area
do not have sidewalks. Four of the major streets in the area carry
Metro bus service several times every day. Children who live in
apartments and very small home often play in the street. The
undeveloped park does not provide a positive experience for growing
families. We have be waiting a generation for this park. If you
divert the dollars to another project (i.e. a park maintenance
building), it is unlikely that we will ever have the opportunity to see
this park built. Don't take away this opportunity to serve the youth
of our city. They need a positive place to grow and play.
Our children cannot wait any longer for a park. Don't delay the
development of Heather Downs Park, even for one more year.
Sincerely,
Ken and Anne Miller

Dear Madam Mayor,
In the best interest of the neighbors of the Heather Downs community,
it is pertinent to continue the plans of the park with the appropriated funds.
Having lived in this area for 14 years it is time we are allowed to enjoy the
pleasures of a park. My husband and I have three small Grandchildren and I'm
sure you can understand the disappointment we would face if the property was
used for another reason or sold to a developer. We have enough homes, WE NEED
THIS PARK.
Thank you in advance for making the correct decision to continue with
the park development.

Subject: Heather Downs Park
Mayor Wheeler,
We were just informed that the Council is considering to take allocated
money away from the construction of Heather Downs Park. We strongly
oppose this.
With the growth of the neighborhood, we feel that it is important to have
a place for our children to play and for everyone to enjoy the outdoors.
We have a 3 and a half year old son who would benefit greatly from a park
close to our house. As parents, we feel that having a safe place for
children is vital. Much our neighborhood does not have sidewalks and
children often play in the street. A nearby park would reduce this
problem.
The rapid growth in the Highlands neighborhood would support a park. The
existing parks are already highly used and we believe that Heather Downs
Park would help to reduce overcrowding.
After careful consideration, the city has already approved the funds and
removing them is inappropriate. Furthermore, it does not speak well of
the Council to suddenly attempt to reverse the existing decision without
sufficient thought and notice.
In conclusion, please do not allow the park that we were looking forward
to using be taken away.
Thank you,
Vic Bloomfield
