Sandra Meyer, Transportation Systems Director, stated that 2003 was a very
good year for the Transportation Division. She listed some of the completed

Committee reviewed the TIP, and topics of discussion included the Strander
Blvd. extension, the I-405 corridor program, and the Duvall Ave. NE corridor
improvements.
Nick Afzali, Transportation Planning and Programming Supervisor, explained
that the TIP is mandated by State law, and is a multi -year work/funding plan for
the development of transportation facilities within the City. The plan supports
many efforts including the Comprehensive Plan, the Growth Management Act,
and the City's Business Plan goals. Mr. Afzali reviewed the transportation
challenges and opportunities the City faces on the following projects: SW 27th
St. and Strander Blvd. Extension, Rainier Ave. Improvements, and I-405 and
North Renton Improvements.
Mr. Afzali stated that transportation projects are placed in five categories
within the TIP. The total six -year expenditure plan is $164,214,305, of which
$32,500,798 is funded and $131,713,507 is unfunded. He reviewed the various
funding sources and noted the 2003 grants received for the Rainier Ave. S.
($2,202,000) and Benson Rd. S. ($150,000) improvements projects.
Continuing, Mr. Afzali detailed the five new projects added to the TIP, which
are as follows: SR-169 (Maple Valley Hwy.) Corridor Study; Rainier Ave. S.
Improvements from SW 7th St. to S. 4th Pl.; Benson Rd. S. from S. 26th St. to

STAFF CONTACT: Daniel Carey, Project Manager, ext. 7293 %
SUBJECT: Maplewood Creek Sediment Basin
2004 Maintenance Project
Construction Bid Award Recommendation
The bid opening for the Maplewood Creek Sediment Basin 2004 Maintenance Project
was held on July 20, 2004, at 2:30 p.m. Four (4) bids were submitted. The Engineer's
Estimate for the project construction cost is $40,060.16.
The low bid for the project was $46,250.88 from Santana Trucking & Excavating, Inc.
The Surface Water Utility has reviewed the low bid for completeness, inclusion of all
required forms, acknowledgments of addenda, bid bond, and mathematical correctness of
the bid. All the paperwork is in order.
The low bid of $46,250.88 (including sales tax) is within the amount that the Surface
Water Utility has budgeted for the project. Funding for the project will be under account
number 421.000600.018.5960.0038.65.065405 Misc./Emergency Storm Projects. The
approved 2004 CIP budget for the project is $50,000. There is currently $50,000 of
unencumbered funds remaining in the project budget to fund the project construction and
staff costs.
The low bid meets the following conditions for award:
1. The low bid must be within the total project budget.
2. There must be more than one bidder.
3. The lowest, responsible, responsive bid contains no significant irregularities. _
The Surface Water Utility, therefore, recommends that this item be placed on the July 26,
2004, consent agenda for Council concur. Staff further recommends that Council award
the construction contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, Santana Trucking
& Excavating, Inc., for the amount of $46,250.88.

half of the road for a distance of approximately 100 feet. It should be noted that the
right-of-way for the easterly portion of the road as it continues to the north has already
been vacated by The Plat of Morgan Place. The westerly portion of the right-of-way for
Lyons Avenue N.E. has not been opened. In fact, Lyons Avenue N.E. has been realigned
to the east and is currently open.
The purpose of the vacation is to allow the processing of the Amber Lane Short Plat.
This section of road has not been opened nor would it serve any properties since, as noted
above, the right-of-way on the east half (30') has already been vacated and the Lyons
Avenue right-of-way has been realigned. The vacating of this portion of Lyons Avenue
N.E. will allow for the better configuration of lots as well: as- larger lots within the Amber
Lane Short Plat. This vacation serves the public benefit by removing unusable right-of-
way.
If you have any questions regarding this proposed vacation, please call me at (425) 885-
7877. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Core Design, Inc.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The area to be dedicated is approx. 1,720 sq. ft.
(10'xl72') of additional public right-of-way,
along the western boundary of Lot 1 of the short plat. In order to provide a standard roadway
width, the applicant is required to dedicate said 10 feet to widen Smithers Avenue South from 40
feet to the required 50 feet. This additional width,
together, would provide sufficient ROW for
future widening to a standard residential street, with parking, and full curb, gutter and sidewalks
on both sides of the street. The dedication will also
eliminate any future costs for condemnation of
the additional ROW for full street improvements.
The dedication is a City of Renton code
requirement of the Park Place II Short Plat, LUA03-042, and Council acceptance of said right-
of-way should be completed prior to recording deed with the short plat.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council authorize the Mayor, and City Clerk to execute the Deed of
Dedication.

Subdivide an approximately 0.74-acre property into 5 lots
intended for the development of up to four detached single-
family homes.
Development Services Recommendation: Approve with
conditions
The Development Services Report was received by the
Examiner on May 20, 2003.
After reviewing the Development Services Report, examining
available information on file with the application, field
checking the property and surrounding area; the Examiner
conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows:

The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Susan Fiala, Senior Planner, Development
Services, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The proposal is to subdivide a .74-
acre site into five lots suitable for single-family residences. The parcel is located at the NE corner of South 23`d
Street and Smithers Avenue. Directly south of it is the Thomas Teasdale Park, to the southwest is Talbot Hill
Elementary School. The property is surrounded by residential to the north and the west and another short plat
directly to the east of these four lots. There is a house currently under construction on proposed Lot 1, 620
South 23`d Street.
The topography of the site has a gradual upward slope of approximately 5% toward the east. As well, it appears
that within 200 feet of the site there were coal mine hazards. A coal mine Assessment Report determined there
were no hazards on the site. The site was predominately vegetated with grass and blackberries which have been
removed as part of the project development. The export/import of fill materials does not seem to be needed, the
plat would be balanced on -site.
The proposed lots would range from approximately 4,581 square feet to slightly over 12,000 square feet. A road
dedication to Smithers Avenue South would be required, of approximately 1,900 square feet, after that
deduction, the property yields a net density of 7.14 dwelling units per acre. Access to the site would be
provided via two public streets. South 23`d Street would provide access to Lots 1, 2, and 3. Lots 4 and 5 would
have a 20-foot easement extending eastward from Smithers Avenue South.
No Environmental Review was required for this Short Plat, as there were no critical areas found on the site.
This plat complies with the Comprehensive Plan policies and the Comprehensive Housing policy.
The subject site is located within the R-8 zone and meets all requirements within that zoning. The proposed lots
meet all density, setback, and parking requirements.
Staff recommends the establishment of a maintenance agreement for the shared access easement and any other
shared utility improvements made on -site.
The dedication of the 10 feet of the western edge of the short plat to Smithers Avenue South would provide the
required 50-foot right-of-way for the residential street. Additionally, street improvements would be required,
including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and lighting (where necessary) along both street frontages.
Staff also recommends that a 6-foot high solid wood fence be constructed along the Northern property line.
The subdivision is expected to generate additional traffic on the City street system; therefore, staff recommends
that a traffic mitigation fee be imposed.
Staff recommends Fire and Parks Mitigation Fees.
The Renton School District has not responded as yet to whether they could support the additional students
generated by this plat, however, with the four lots, based on the ratio, there would be approximately 2 students
generated from the 4 lots. It is assumed that the schools would be able to support the additional students.
There are storm facilities located in Smithers Avenue South. The applicant submitted a Level l Analysis that
shows that the drainage plan submitted does meet the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual
requirements. A temporary erosion control plan is required to be installed and maintained for the duration of the
project. Surface Water System Development charges will be required.
Park Place Short Plat
File No.: LUA-03-042,SHPL-H
June 10, 2003
Page 3
Water and sanitary sewer utilities are located in South 23`d Street and Smithers Avenue South. Water service
stubs must be installed in each lot prior to recording the final short plat. The installation of an additional fire
hydrant is required to service lots 4 and 5. An eight -inch sewer main extension is required to be extended to the
easterly property line. An easement will be required to be provided to the City for maintenance. Side sewer
stubs are also required to go to each building lot. A Sanitary Sewer System development charge will be required
at the time the utility permit is issued.
Staff recommends approval of the Park Place Short Plat subject to conditions including; the establishment of a
maintenance agreement, installation of a 6-foot high wood fence or other approved barrier along the entire
length of the north property line, and payment of transportation, fire and parks mitigation fees.
Tom Touma, 6632 South 191" Place, Suite E-102, Kent, WA 98032 stated that they were in support of the staff
recommendation for the short plat.
Senoria Allen, 2211 Smithers Avenue South,. Renton, WA 98055 stated that the location for the access road for
lots 4 and 5, and the access onto Smithers Avenue were of great concern, her living room is directly across from
the access road and as traffic comes out of that road the headlights will shine into her home. Another concern
was with the location of the new fire hydrant. Lastly, moving access road about 20 feet further to the south
would solve the problem.
Linda Marweg, 2201 Smithers Avenue South, Renton, WA 98055 stated that she was opposed to the building at
the site at the current time due to the conditions of drainage, a safety concern on Smithers Avenue South and
South 23`d Street for children attending Talbot Hill Elementary. The City Council has addressed the issue, they
are currently working on some solutions. At the present time, the entire neighborhood is getting water under
their houses. The Water Department for the City of Renton does agree that there is a bad problem. They state
that they do not have the money to fix the problem. When the foundation was being installed on Lot 1, they
immediately hit water, they dug a ditch over to Smithers Avenue where an existing ditch is located, however,
that existing ditch does not drain. Mrs. Marweg has a child that attends Talbot Hill Elementary School, the
widening of Smithers Avenue is fine, but as soon as you get south of there, the street narrows, there are no
sidewalks or curbs, this creates problems getting children to school safely, the additional traffic is only going to
make that situation worse. It was mentioned that the drainage meets the County requirements, however, the
concern is that the existing ditches do not drain when it rains, they just fill up, run over the street, go into the
garage, under the house as well as the neighboring houses. The City of Renton did come out one time when the
water level came up to the height of the furnace and installed a sump pump. There is no dispute with the plans
for the short plat, however, they would like to see the building on this site held up until there is a definite plan
for safety on the roadway, and the drainage problem is solved.
The Examiner asked if the City Council was working on the school issue or the drainage problem. Mrs.
Marweg responded that the traffic issue was turned over to the Traffic Division. There have been meetings on
this issue and signs have been installed_. This is not a solution, the Traffic_ Division is looking at what has been
done and what could possibly be done in the future. It is of great concern that with the new construction, the
problem may become worse than the current situation.
Terry Marconi, 2113 Smithers Avenue South, Renton, WA 98055 stated there is concern with Smithers Avenue
between 21" Street and 23`d Street. For 25 years there were only 8 houses on the street. When a house directly
north of the short plat was built, they could not get the land to perk. The street has been falling apart for many
years, the City came in and tried to fix it but it continues to fall apart. Lot 1 has had a deep dip in the front and
in the winter a lake forms and freezes. If the dip is filled in, the water will run down Smithers Avenue and the
houses on the street will get flooded. Approximately 10 years ago, two new houses were built on Smithers, and
Park Place Short Plat
File No.: LUA-03-042,SHPL-H
June 10, 2003
Page 4
they are currently getting water underneath in the crawl space. The property owners have complained
continuously about the water problems, the City comes out, inspects the area, but nothing is ever done. If this
plat goes in, all of us to the north will be flooded. When it rains a lake appears in front of his house, 150 feet
long (north and south) and 25 feet out into the middle of the road. There are from 100 to 500 blackbirds or
crows currently in the area, they are the number one carrier of West Nile Virus. The farmers used to have
ditches that would draw the water away, when the houses were built on the other side of this plat, the builders
destroyed that ditch so the water doesn't go anywhere. A retaining pond was put in on Talbot Road, but no one
wants to live by that. The only way our problems are going to be solved is if this project is denied and the City
starts work on a solution to the water situation.
Tom Touma responded to the issue of storm drainage. They are proposing to contain all surface water along the
road. At the north end near the access road, there will be a catch basin picking up all the surface water coming
in from 23`d Street and northerly along Smithers Avenue up to the north property line of the short plat. The
existing ditch on the east side of Smithers Avenue will be gone, it will be filled and sidewalks and gutters will
be installed. The new storm drainage system will go into a catch basin west of the access road. All of this will
flow into an underground tank system that flows into a bioswale, and extends all the way west to Talbot Road.
The proposed development is aware of the water problem in that area and it will be taken care of as part of the
development as required by the Staff.
Kayren Kittrick, Development Services, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055 stated that the whole site
has been inspected by the engineers and they are very aware of the water. Staff is also aware of the water, both
because of the activity on City Council, as well as in our discussion with other City staff, including the storm
drainage people and the Transportation Division. The Transportation Division is very much in favor of what is
being done in this short plat. An infill development like this is going to have an impact one way or the other,
but looking at the design, she did not think that there was any other means of changing things. It is a
requirement that all roof drainage is tight lined so there will be no water thrown out onto the ground. The
Examiner inquired as to what the City Council has been addressing as far as these problems. Ms. Kittrick
responded that they had been addressing the traffic around the school, one fix that was put in place has proven
less than satisfactory, the Transportation Division is looking at new ebannelization and other means of signage
to lessen the difficulties of pedestrian traffic versus school children versus school busses versus the commuting
parents trying to drop off the students. The Examiner asked about the storm water problems in this area and if
the 1998 Manual addressed these problems. Ms. Kittrick replied, not really, it was built before 1990 and 1990
was stricter than what King County built it under. They are under the radar that would be exempt from a good
number of 1998 Manual as well, just because it is a small development. The Examiner further stated that the
problems will not get worse, but this development is not responsible for fixing the problems. Ms. Kittrick
restated that they are taking care of their portion of the problems as required under any of the storm water
manuals. They are picking up the water, but this is a long-standing issue in the neighborhood since King
County built the roads. The Transportation Division's priority is not known for massive construction in this
vicinity, but it is on the radar and once you start fixing roads, you have to fix the storms at the same time.
_ Linda Marweg commented on the drainage in the development to the, west, it was built 5 years ago, the sidewalk
has buckled up 3-4 inches, the Storm Water Department is saying that is because the water has no where to go, it
is sitting under the sidewalks.
Senoria Allen inquired as to where the new fire hydrant is going to be placed. Ms. Kittrick responded that the
fire hydrant would be on the east side of the road, but final location is dependent upon the Fire Department.
Terry Marconi clarified that the traffic on Smithers Avenue, because of the school and the park, is
approximately 400-500 cars going on that street. Smithers is often used as a shortcut to getting out of the area.
Widening the street will only cause more problems.

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 9:55 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
Findings:
The applicant, Keith Menges, filed a request for approval of a five -lot short 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, determined that the
proposal is exempt from an environmental assessment.
4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
The subject site is located 2214 Smithers Avenue South. The site is located on the northeast corner of
the intersection of Smithers Avenue South and South 23rd Street. SR 515 is located a block east of the
site.
The subject site is approximately 0.74 acres or 32,451 square feet. The subject site is 165 feet wide
(east to west) by approximately 183.26 feet deep. As noted above, it is a corner lot.
7. A new home is currently being constructed on the southwest corner of the parcel, on what would be
Proposed Lot 1. The remainder of the property is undeveloped. The main vegetation on the site are
grasses and blackberries.
The site has a gentle 5% slope up to the east. The site has an elevation of approximately 212 feet near
Smithers and rises to approximately 222 feet along the southeast property line.
9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 3316 enacted in May 1979.
10. The subject site is zoned R-8 (Single Family; Lot size - 4,500 sq ft).
11. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of single family, but does not mandate such development without
consideration of other policies of the Plan.
12. The applicant proposes dividing the subject site into five lots that would be developed with detached
single-family homes.
13. Smithers Avenue is currently 40 feet wide and code requires that it be 50 feet wide. In order to provide
a standard roadway width for Smithers Avenue the applicant would be required to dedicate 10 feet to
widen Smithers.
14. After subtracting the roadway dedication, the development of the parcel would result in a net density of
Park Place Short Plat
File No.: LUA-03-042,SHPL-H
June 10, 2003
Page 6
7.14 units per acre for the five lots.
15. Proposed Lot I would run the full depth of the parcel along Smithers. It would be 65 feet wide by
approximately 185 feet deep. It would be 12,074 square feet.
16. Proposed Lots 2 and 3 would be located along the South 23rd Street frontage. Both lots would be
approximately 50 feet wide (23rd frontage) by approximately 92 feet deep. Proposed Lot 2 would be
4,675 square feet while Proposed Lot 3 would be 4,613 square feet.
17. Proposed Lot 4 and 5 (oriented east to west) would both be 50 feet wide by approximately 92 feet deep.
Both would be 4,581 square feet. These two lots would be interior lots with access via a private
easement.
18. Access to Proposed Lots 1, 2 and 3 would be provided from S 23rd Street. An access easement would
run along the north 20 feet of Proposed Lots 1, 5 and 4. It would provide access to Proposed Lots 4 and
5. Staff recommended that a fence be installed along the north edge of the proposed easement to protect
the adjacent properties from the new private roadway.
19. The subject site is denoted on the City's Sensitive Areas Map as having potential coal mine hazards. A
coal mine assessment found no evidence of any hazards on the subject site.
20. Storm water analysis shows that storm water sheet flows across the site to the west. It is then collected
by pipes located along the west side of Smithers. Neighbors report drainage and flooding problems in
the area. They are concerned that the development of the subject site will exacerbate those existing
problems.
21. Water and sanitary sewer service would be provided by the City and service is available although an
extension of lines may be necessary to serve the site.
22. A neighbor located west of the proposed easement driveway was concerned that it is aligned directly
with the home, which could create glare issues.
23. Talbot Hill Elementary School is located southwest of the site, diagonally across the Smithers and 23rd
Street intersection. Staff did not want the easement driveway located closer to that intersection.
24. It appears that both the drainage problems and traffic safety in the area have been issues in the past and
that the City is aware of those issues and has been exploring appropriate responses.
25. The development of five homes, which includes the one now under construction will generate
approximately 50 additional trips per day. Approximately 10% or five trips would occur during the
_peak morning and evening rush hours. While that is not a tremendous increase, clearly, each trip does
have an impact on the surrounding street system. Therefore, staff recommended that the applicant pay a
transportation impact fee based on the City's standard methodology.
26. The development of the site will add approximately 2 school age children.
Conclusions:
The proposed short plat appears to serve the public use and interest. The plat will provide additional
housing opportunities in an area with reasonable access to the needed urban services such as water and
Park Place Short Plat
File No.: LUA-03-042,SHPL-H
June 10, 2003
Page 7
sewer. The development of the site with five homes fulfills the Comprehensive Plan's goal of infill
development where it can be supported by urban services.
2. There is no doubt that developing this lot will create some additional impacts on the surrounding
community but the impacts of five single family lots is not untoward. The impacts were anticipated by
both the Comprehensive Plan and the site's zoning which encourage single-family development.
3. The development of the site will be governed by regulations that will not allow additional storm water
to affect the neighborhood. The development of the subject site is not expected to solve existing
problems with storm water but containment and control of the site's storm water should not make the
problem worse.
4. The fact that a school is located across the street from the site does not make it unacceptable for single-
family development. The additional traffic will be spread out over the course of a day. In addition, staff
reviewed the impacts and determined that they were not unacceptable. They did recommend that the
private roadway be located as far from 23rd Street as possible to reduce possible turning conflicts. In
order to address any traffic or transportation impacts, the applicant will be required to pay the City's
mitigation fee of $75.00 per additional trip.
5. While the new private street will be located across from an existing residence, the roadway will only be
serving two single family homes and not be serving that many additional trips, vis-a-vis one home. The
impacts will not be exceptional. The applicant shall be required to screen the property adjacent to that
roadway since the traffic will be directly abutting the property line.
6. Similarly, to traffic, the development of the new homes will affect both neighborhood parks as well as
regional recreational facilities and will have an impact on the City's fire and medical response needs.
Therefore, the applicant shall be required to pay the mitigation fees generally applied to additional
single family development for both Parks ($530.76) and Fire ($488.00).
7. Since short plats do not generally go to the City Council for review, the dedication of the street right-of-
way will need their separate approval and acceptance.
Maintenance of easement roadways needs to be appropriately handled by a homeowners agreement or
other written documents.
9. In conclusion, anytime new homes are added to an existing community there will be some impacts.
Those impacts are not unreasonable in this case and the plat appears reasonably designed.
Decision:
The short plat is approved subject to the following conditions:
1. A maintenance agreement shall be created concurrently with the recording of the shot plat in order to
establish maintenance responsibilities for this development. A draft of the document(s), if necessary,
shall be submitted to the City of Renton Development Services Division for review and approval by the
City Attorney and Property Services section prior to the recording of the short plat.
2. The applicant shall install a six (6) foot high solid fence or other approved barrier along the entire length
of the north property line of the plat. The fence shall be installed prior to building construction and a
note shall be placed on the face of the final short plat. The satisfaction of this requirement shall be

The applicant shall pay the appropriate Transportation Mitigation Fee equal to $75.00 for each new
daily trip associated with the project, with credit given for the existing residences. The Transportation
Mitigation Fee shall be paid prior to the recording of the short plat.
4. The applicant shall pay the appropriate Fire Mitigation Fee equal to $488.00 per new single-family
residence, with credit given for the existing residence. The Fire Mitigation Fee shall be paid prior to the
recording of the short plat.
The applicant shall pay the appropriate Parks Mitigation Fee equal to $530.76 for each new single-
family home, with credit given for the existing residence. The Parks Mitigation Fee shall be paid prior
to the recording of the short plat.
The dedication of the street right-of-way shall be forwarded to the City Council for separate approval
and acceptance.

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.

The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Jason Jordan, Senior Planner, Development
Services, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The subject site is located north of
NE 4`h Street, east of Jericho Avenue and west of Lyons Avenue NE, in the City of Renton. The proposal would
create 11 lots intended for detached single-family homes. The lots range in size from approximately 7,200
square feet to 10,500 square feet, in addition the applicant proposes to include two open space tracts, Tract A
located south of the proposed lots and north of NE 4`' Street. It would contain the water quality detention
facility for the site, as well as for an additional site (the larger Shamrock project, currently under review by King
County). Tract B is located in the northwestern corner of the subject site and contains the very southern portion
of a Category 2 wetland that extends off -site to the north and to the west and the buffer associated with that
wetland. The subject site is currently two lots; Lot B is the lot located in the southeastern corner and Lot A is
the rest of the site. That will all become one when the plat is approved.
Access to the site would be provided from both Lyons Avenue NE and Jericho Avenue NE. The new right-of-
way would include a new 42-foot wide public roadway, referred to as NE 4`' Court. That would serve several of
the lots, as well, the applicant is proposing an additional new roadway that will run north and south, it would be
42-feet wide, terminating in a hammerhead turnaround over proposed Lots 2 and 3. The Fire Department has
approved the turnaround.
The Environmental Review Committee issues a Determination of Non -significance — Mitigated for the project,
which included eight mitigation measures. No appeals of the determination were fled.
The subject site is designated Residential -Rural. The proposed plat is zoned Residential — 5 Dwelling Units per
Acre (R-5) and achieves a net density of 2.8 dwelling units per acre, which is below the maximum allowed in
this zoning designation. The proposed Tract B which includes open space and wetland that would be
incorporated into the plat and belong to everyone. Due to the size of the detention facility, the owner is losing a
couple of building sites. All lots meet the minimum standards required within the R-5 zoning designation.
All lots proposed are in compliance with the development standards. The proposal's compliance with each of
the building standards will be verified prior to the issuance of building permits for each individual structure.
The lots appear to comply with arrangement and access requirements of the subdivision regulations.
A homeowner's association or maintenance agreement is suggested for the development, which would be
responsible for any common improvements and/or tracts within the plat.
Traffic, Park and Fire Mitigations fees are proposed.
The subject site is generally flat and is characterized by having very little slope. The property is vegetated with
short scrub brushes, field and wetland grasses along with multiple fir, cedar, maple, alder, cottonwood and
- willow trees. All vegetation on the property will be removed with the exception of the vegetation within the -
Category 2 wetland and buffer. The Examiner inquired as to why all the vegetation is being removed. These are
very large lots and yet, no trees are being saved. Mr. Jordan responded that when a large plat is evaluated, and
there are other plats surrounding, these happen to be relatively newer plats, the code allows subdivisions to clear
the sites. Development Services relies on the neighborhood to come forward and state that they do not want the
trees to be cleared, in this particular case, that was not a request of the neighborhood. Outside of the wetland
area, there are no particular stands of trees or areas of vegetation that made sense with the lot arrangement. In
this particular case with the tot arrangement and the grading and the stands that are there, there are no reasons to
Shamrock Preliminary riat
File No.: LUA-04-030, PP, ECF
June 7, 2004
Page 3
keep any of the existing trees outside of the critical areas. The Examiner stated that there is no reason not to
keep some of the trees. The ordinances suggest saving trees even if they are permitted to be cut down, a value
judgment is needed. Mr. Jordan continued stating that the applicant is proposing to buffer average
approximately 2,600 square feet, creating an additional 3,000 square feet. The applicant will be required to
provide fencing and screening, they have submitted a landscape plan for the NE 4'h corridor and the southern
property boundary.
The ERC required erosion control measures subject to the 2001 DOE manual. The proposal is consistent with
the intent of both the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code and would not be out of character with the existing
or recent development in the area. Again, many of the neighboring residents have expressed a desire to not
connect NE 41h Court, from Jericho Avenue NE to Lyons Avenue NE. However, as development proceeds in
this area of the City, staff has always intended NE 4'h Court to connect at this location.
The site is located within the boundaries of the Issaquah School District. The School District has indicated that
they can accommodate the additional students, subject to the applicant paying the appropriate Issaquah School
District Impact Fee.
The applicant is proposing a storm detention pond, which is proposed to be located within Tract B near the
southeast corner of the site. Based on the wetland report, the topography is such that things flow to the south. It
appears that recharging is not necessary for Lot 10, the wetland is just barely on the property and the majority of
the wetland is to the north and west.
The applicant would be required to extend the sewer main extension to the north. The water service would be
provided by King County Water District 490.
Staff recommends approval of this preliminary plat subject to four conditions.
Sara Slatten, 9720 NE 120'h Place, Suite 100, Kirkland, WA 98034 stated that they agreed with the staff report
and all conditions that were set forth. One clarification, with respect to the wetland monitoring condition, the
2002 report included the Shamrock project as a whole, including the King County application and no specific
monitoring or maintenance was proposed for the portion of Shamrock within the City of Renton limits.
The storm pond on the south side of the property that is owned by the City of Renton, it appears to have been
abandoned over the past few years. Secondly, with respect to the tree issue and the wetland boundaries
mentioned earlier, the tree plan did show significant strands of trees located on Lot 10 and along the northerly
property line of Lot 11. They are not opposed to doing specific tree surveying in those two locations. If trees
can be incorporated within those lots, per arborist's recommendations, they would look at that possibility. In
some conditions where trees have been retained, often one to two years down the road, the trees require removal
due to health hazards or enough vegetation was removed around them that make them susceptible to windfalls.
The Examiner stated that he was concerned about Lot 10 and the fact that buffer averaging may take out some
significant trees. There seems to be other -options for Lot 10. Ms.-Slatten stated that additionally they were —
confined by NE 4"' Court. Lot I 1 is somewhat oversized, it will be fairly tough to do that in the pond area
where there are quite a few strands, with the grading being done in there, it is not conducive to saving trees in
that vicinity. The only other area could be along the eastern boundary, there is a strand between Lots 1 and 2
that could be looked at. The detention pond is an area that has been an issue from the beginning. The City and
neighborhood residents were concerned about the corridor and once the application was submitted on this
particular site, it was requested that screening be provided, that is a landscape plan that has been submitted and
will work with the City to provide ample screening. A cedar fence will be placed along the east, south and west
property lines. A mixture of shrubs and trees mainly focused along NE 4'h.

Kayren Kittrick, Development Services stated that the representatives of Morgan Place Homeowner's
Association have been in discussions with administration regarding some proposal to gate off NE 4°i Court to
the east. The City is looking at this very favorably for basically blocking off vehicular public access, but would
still be available for emergency and pedestrian access. It is not a condition for this plat, it is purely an
administrative decision and will be approved through an agreement with the administration at this point. Traffic
will be routed from this plat out to Jericho. NE 4°i Court is needed for the emergency access. Both
Development Services and the Fire Department will have to approve it when it comes through.
Regarding the trees, the neighbors are currently working with the City to remove the ones that were saved on
Morgan because they are falling over and causing damage to both streets and possible houses.
Gary Schulz, 7700 South Lakeridge Drive, Seattle, WA 98178 stated that he is a Wetland Forest Ecologist and
that he worked on the property and provided a letter report. The wetland that extends onto the property is in
fairly good shape, hasn't been damaged or cleared in recent years. The buffer and almost the entire site of this
proposed project has had some grading and clearing done. What's left is dominated by sapling tree cover,
mostly by cottonwood. There are a few Douglas Fir trees scattered that have managed to regenerate on the site.
The largest were 12-14 inches in diameter that would be in close proximity to the wetland buffer. The area of
Lot 10 isn't much larger than the area being provided in buffer averaging, in fact, Lot 10 may have less trees in
that particular spot, as you get closer to the wetland the tree quality is better. The Examiner inquired if there
was anything one could do to a detention pond? Mr. Schulz stated that Camwest is more than willing to work
with the City on screening issues and there could be some plantings that are associated with a storm water pond.
Some trees could be planted around the edge of the pond.
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 l 0:41 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
The applicant, Sara Slatten, filed a request for approval of an 1 l-lot Preliminary Plat.
2. The yellow file containing the staff report, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) documentation
and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
3. The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official, issued a Declaration of
Non -Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M) for the subject proposal.
- 4— _.Thesubject proposal. was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
The subject site is located in the 5500 block of NE 4th Street. The subject site is located on the north
side of NE 4th between Jericho Avenue NE on the west and Lyons Avenue NE on the east (for the
curious reader, Jericho, Washington is located in Grant County, southeast of Vantage, while Lyons is
located west of Spokane).
6. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 4760 enacted in February,
1998.

File No.: LUA-04-030, PP, ECF

The subject site was rezoned R-5 (Single Family Residential, 5 dwelling units per acre).
The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of rural or low density residential uses, but does not mandate such
development without consideration of other policies of the Plan.
9. The subject site is approximately 4.68 acres or 203,720 square feet in area. The subject site is
approximately 330 feet wide (east to west) along NE 4th and approximately 616 feet deep.
10. The subject site is relatively level, sloping to the southwest at approximately 5%.
11. A Category 2 wetland is located in the northwest corner of the subject site. It is hard to determine the
size of the wetland on the subject site. The record covers the wetland as it straddles offsite property and
the wetland reports are vague, covering both the wetlands onsite and offsite. The staff report notes that
Tract B that contains the wetland and proposed buffer is approximately 13,119 square feet. The
applicant proposes using buffer averaging to square off the eastern boundary of the wetland to create a
more regular Proposed Lot 10 (see below).
12. The subject site is covered with a mix of bushes and grasses as well as a mix of fir, cedar, alder,
cottonwood and willow trees. All of this vegetation would be removed from the subject site with the
exception of vegetation found in the wetland and wetland buffer areas. The applicant maintained that
leaving trees would create dangerous conditions and that vegetation in the buffer averaging areas would
be better than what is now protected.
13. The applicant proposes developing an east -west street, NE 4th Court, and extending 144th Place SE
(King County designation) in a north -south direction. The streets will form an intersecting system
dividing the parcel into four unequal quadrants. A hammerhead turnaround would be created at the
south end of 144th since that roadway would deadend at a large detention pond. Apparently, the City
and neighbors have reached some agreement about gating one end of NE 4th Court to avoid through -
traffic issues. This would block off the normal grid pattern but allow emergency vehicles access
through the gate. Information on this agreement was sketchy and only introduced at the public hearing.
14. The lots are in four sections arranged around the two intersecting streets. Proposed Lots 1, 2 and 3 are
located southeast of the intersection of NE 4th Court with a hammerhead turnaround located between
Proposed Lots 2 and 3. Proposed Lots 4 - 9 are located in the southwest quadrant. Proposed Lots 5 and
6 are interior lots that would be served by an easement. Proposed Lot 10 would be located in the
northwest quadrant, immediately adjacent to the wetland. Finally, Proposed Lot 11 would be located in
the northeast quadrant of the site.
15. Main access to the site would be through either Lyons east of the site and Jericho west of the site. These
- - - - streets would connect to the major street systems north or south of the subject site.- - -
16. The applicant proposes a large storm water detention system that would serve both the subject site and
adjacent property north of the subject site. Proposed Tract A would contain the storm water system and
would be approximately 66,203 square feet or more than an acre and a half. The storm water tract
would be approximately one-third of the entire subject site. It would be located along the western half
of the south property line along NE 4th Street. Staff has recommended that a sight -obscuring fencing be
erected along NE 4th Street to screen the detention facility.

17. The subject site is located in the Issaquah School District. Tile City has adopted a fee program to offset
the impacts of development on that district for homes constructed in the Renton City limits. The
applicant will have to pay $2,937.00 per home.
CKOM11Z.ROM
While the idea of subdividing the subject site is appropriate, as proposed, this plat does not serve the
public use and interest. It does not match the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. It makes
little use of the natural amenities found on the site. It alters the boundaries of and sacrifices trees in the
required wetland buffer. The Rural Residential Comprehensive Plan designation and the R-5 zoning are
both intended to help preserve the natural amenities found on properties located in the City. Two issues
present themselves in this review. The first issue is the applicant's need to use buffer averaging to create
a reasonable Proposed Lot 10. The second issue is the proposed removal of all of the vegetation from
the non -wetland areas of the site.
The large detention pond planned for the southwestern corner of the subject site does severely restrict or
reduce the developable area of the subject site. But that large detention system is not needed to serve
the immediate site. The restrictions or constraints created by that large pond system are self-created.
The decision to create that large pond on this site was made by the applicant or predecessors in interest.
The large pond serves not only this relatively small parcel but larger acreage north of the subject site.
The creation of the large pond on this property substantially reduces the useable land for housing, larger
lots and open space on this site. Since the density calculations do not accommodate a reduction for the
storm drainage pond, the applicant proposed squeezing more and smaller lots on the remaining acreage.
The creation of this large detention system on the subject site freed up land on other property for more
lots on that other property but while it did so it created unnecessary constraints on this site. It is over-
reaching now to use the tradeoffs the applicant made on this and other property to claim that they need
to do buffer averaging and alter natural characteristics or mature vegetation found in the buffer areas to
create a useable Proposed Lot 10. Also, the rigid rectangular pattern of the proposed buffer is not in
keeping with preserving or enhancing natural amenities in the R-5, Rural Residential area nor does it
correspond with the portions of this wetland and buffer on the adjacent property. The record indicates
that better vegetation is also located west of Proposed Lot 10 and the Comprehensive Plan suggests
saving natural amenities. It would appear appropriate to eliminate Proposed Lot 10. It would save more
of the natural vegetation, allow a more natural wetland buffer and is permitted if the constraints of the
site require a density reduction. The fact that the applicant created some of the constraints by creating a
very oversized stormwater pond further help justify the lot density reduction. The plat should be
reduced to a 10-lot plat. The natural amenities should not be sacrificed to eke out an additional lot.
3. In a similar vein, the larger detention pond forces the lots to be more tightly packed and might be what
has led to the applicant's need to clear all vegetation from the remaining acreage. The applicant is
removing too many trees from this R-5 site. The general justification for cutting most, if not all trees,
on R-8 property is that the R-8 Zone's 4,500 square foot lot size is so small that preserving trees is
nearly impossible. Theroot ball and limb spread of significant (larger) trees interfere with development
potential on R-8 Zoned Property. The R-5 zoning here not only permits larger lots but requires them.
The goals and policies behind of the R-5 zoning were to create larger lots, in keeping with the more
rural character of the areas zoned R-5. Removing most of the trees from the subject site is certainly not
in keeping with the rural residential character of the property.
While the applicant noted that the reason to remove all the trees is because trees from other sites are
being declared dangerous, careful and selective removal had been used in the past and has been used
more recently to work around significant trees so that they do survive. development. Larger lots permit
Shamrock Preliminary r,at
File No.: LUA-04-030, PP, ECF
June 7, 2004
Page 7
more spacious yards where older, mature, significant trees can be preserved. The fact that a tree survey
was not even submitted is inappropriate.
What brings this matter to a crux at this juncture is that it is hard to ignore the fact that two proposals
heard by this office on the same day had two very different tree cutting alternatives. On an R-10 site
(Camas Short Plat; File No. LUA 04-039) with much smaller lots not only was the applicant proposing
to maintain trees but staff was recommending punitive measures, a replacement of 3 trees for each tree
removed, if any were removed. While on this site with its larger parcel size, the applicant proposes
removing all significant trees, did not do a specific tree inventory and will not be penalized for
removing all vegetation outside of the wetland areas. What is ironic is that in the case of the R-10
property, since that applicant proposed to save some significant trees, staff recommended that if any of
them are removed, that they be replaced on a 3 to l replacement. Whereas in this plat on R-5 property,
none of the significant trees would be spared with the exception of trees in the wetland area.
6. Therefore, in order to satisfy the Comprehensive Plan, the applicant shall save all significant trees on the
site that do not stand in the way of necessary right-of-way, driveways and reasonable building pads.
Access appears reasonable. This office is constrained to help the City establish an open, viable street
grid system by both the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan and the Platting Regulations. If the
City staff detennines otherwise, that will have to occur after this review and an approval of an open,
free -flowing street system. The City is free to make further determinations as to street need, character
and alignment after the appropriate dedications and installations are complete. Adjacent owners were
appropriately notified that through -streets would be constructed and signs erected on stub -street ends.
With the exception of the conclusions found above, the plat layout, lot sizes and streets appear
reasonable.
9. Staff has suggested a sight -obscuring fence be erected to screen the detention facility. it would appear
reasonable to somehow create a more natural looking facility and a security fence that allows the large
pond to be a feature along the NE 4th corridor rather than something that needs to be hidden behind a
sight -obscuring fence. Staff and the applicant should work to attempt to come up with a way of
protecting passers-by from the storm water pond while allowing it to be visually appealing, if possible.
10. The City .Council should approve the plat subject to the conditions proposed.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council.should approve the proposed plat subject to the following conditions:
1. The plat shall be reduced to a 10-lot plat with the elimination of the currently proposed lot 10.
2. The applicant shall save all significant trees on the site that do not stand in the way of necessary
right-of-way, driveways and reasonable building pads. The removal of all significant trees shall be
reviewed and approved by a certified arborist selected and approved by the City but paid by the
applicant.
3. Staff and the applicant should work to attempt to come up with away of protecting passers-by from
the storm water pond while allowing it to be visually appealing, if possible from the NE 4th Street
corridor.

HEARING EXAMI;;

LOCATION:
5500 Block of NE 4`h Street
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Reconsideration of approval for an 11-lot
Subdivision of a 4.68-acre site intended for
detached single-family homes based on additional
information and a revised site plan.
The following request for reconsideration is for the Shamrock Property preliminary plat
for 11 single-family lots. A total of six recommendations were issued on June 7, 2004 for
City Council action. This reconsideration is in response to the first recommendation
which reads;
The plat shall be reduced to a 10-lot plat with the elimination of the currently
proposed lot 10. Reconsideration is sought based on the following:
1) an error of law or fact
An error in fact has occurred as the following statements were made on page 6 of the
recommendations, conclusion #2:
The restrictions or constraints created by that large pond system are self created.
Cam West Response to Statement: A large detention pond has been required for the
Shamrock Property due to existing site constraints. First, a shallow water table exists on
the property which requires construction of a shallow pond. A shallow pond is inefficient
as it requires more area to achieve the required volume capacity. Secondly, there is an
existing storm outlet pipe that is located within NE 4th Street, adjacent to the frontage.
The elevation for this outlet pipe is also dictating a shallow pond depth. Had these two
constraints not been present, depth could be added to the pond and reduced the overall
area needed. Originally, the detention pond on the Renton property was larger as it was
intended to receive drainage for the entire Shamrock proposal including the King County
site. Based on the topography it appeared the entire Shamrock plat drained towards the
Renton property. Subsequently, it was determined that a drainage basin break existed
within the King County site to the north and two detention ponds were needed; one on the
King County site and one on the Renton site. As a result, the detention pond capacity
within the city of Renton property was reduced. However, this capacity reduction did not
significantly reduce the pond due to the present constraints mentioned above. This
reduction of the detention pond within the Renton plat did not translate to an increase in
lots on the King County site for this reason.
Additional Justification for Proposed Revision to Hearing Examiner's Order:
The city of Renton determines allowable density based on a net density calculation
methodology. The allowable density for the Shamrock plat is 19-lots once the proposed
right-of-way and wetland area are deducted from the gross acreage. The Shamrock
proposal is for only 11 lots, well under the maximum density, due to the detention pond
tract on site which is large not only because it serves a portion of the King County
drainage but primarily because it is confined by constraints which are addressed above.
Additionally, the city of Renton code provisions allow buffer averaging to occur and
recognizes a balance between wetland preservation and reasonable use of the property.
Prior to the Shamrock Highland's purchase, the property had been disturbed with filling
and grading activities. A significant portion of the site contains black cottonwood and
alder trees as outlined in Gary Schulz's wetland report dated January 12, 2004. A
significant tree survey has recently been completed by Triad & Associates which shows
the dominance of cottonwoods and alders throughout the site and within the proposed lot
10 boundary.
We have reviewed our original proposal and can modify it to significantly reduce the
wetland buffer impact associated with lot 10. A reduced encroachment into the buffer
can occur while preserving the significant evergreen trees within the adjacent buffer. The
revised proposal will result in a significantly decreased buffer encroachment with an
added buffer average area provided than what was presented at the plat hearing.
The Shamrock proposal previously submitted met the city of Renton environmental code
and was supported by city staff. A new proposal to further reduce the impacts associated
with the wetland buffer combined with wetland enhancement is proposed and will better
meet the city environmental code. A revised condition which would allow the retention
of lot 10 is proposed:
1) Modify the footprint for lot 10 to further reduce the impact to existing
wetland buffer. Decrease the encroachment by at least 30 percent of
the original encroachment subject to city of Renton approval.
- - - — 2) Install a minimum of twelve evergreen -trees, 6-8 feet in height, within _
the existing and/or added wetland buffer. Locations to be determined
by a wetland biologist. CamWest to insure survivability for a
monitoring period determined by the city of Renton.
3) Remove invasive blackberry bushes within the existing and/or added
wetland buffer area as directed by a wetland biologist.
4) Install split rail fencing with wire mesh around the north and west
sides of lot 10 to discourage entrance and place wetland signs around
the perimeter of the entire wetland buffer. Amend the CCR's to
require this type of fencing for lot 10 for perpetuity.
The wetland and corresponding buffer on the city of Renton Shamrock property is
predominately covered with alder and cottonwood trees. Few significant evergreen trees
exist in this area and all will be retained as part of our revised proposal. Invasive
blackberry bushes would be removed and replaced with evergreen trees which are lacking
within the wetland and buffer. Additionally, a single-family residence will be retained
which is in keeping with the city of Renton's goal and the growth management act to
meet housing targets with the creation of single-family homes and to concentrate density
in areas with existing infrastructure and urban services.

SUBJECT: Shamrock Preliminary Plat Request for Reconsideration
. LUA-04-030, PP, ECF
Dear Mr. Kaufman:
The Development Services Division formally requests that your office reconsider the
Shamrock Preliminary Plat recommendations prior to sending your recommendations to
the City Council. Staff requests that you reconsider recommended conditions 1, 2, 3 and
that you add your standard condition requiring compliance with the Environmental
Review Committee (ERC) SEPA imposed conditions.
• Condition number one states, The plat shall be reduced to a 10-lot plat with the
elimination of the currently proposed Lot 10.
The City's Comprehensive Plan allows fora maximum density of up to five dwelling units
per acre (Policy LU 26). As a result of the Comprehensive Plan policies, the City
Council has adopted development standards specific to each zone, which implements
those policies. Thus, the R-5 zone allows net densities to reach a maximum of five
dwelling units per acre, when all critical areas are deducted from the project.
In this case, the Shamrock Preliminary Plat proposal only achieves a density of 2..8
dwelling units per net acre, which is well below the maximum density of five dwelling
units per acre allowed. If another lot were removed, the density would fall to 2.56
dwelling units per acre, which further diminishes the total new single-family lot count in
an area of the City, which was intended to achieve near maximum net densities.
If proposed Lot 10 was to be eliminated and instead left as a large open space/wetland
tract within the plat, the subject area may become an unattractive nuisance with litter
and unkempt vegetation. Staff expects this type of environment may foster other
inappropriate. activities.
Therefore, staff requests that you eliminate this condition and replace it with the
— - - following language: The applicant shall be required to revise proposed Lot 10 in order to
minimize the impact to the wetland buffer. In addition, the applicant shall be required to
enhance the wetland buffer within Tract B and north of proposed Lot 10 with a minimum
of 10 native trees, as approved by a wetland biologist. This condition shall be completed
prior to final plat approval and be subject to the review and approval of the Development
Services Division.
• Condition number two states, The applicant shall save all significant trees on the
site that do not stand in the way of necessary right-of-way, driveways and
P

MThis oaoer contains 50 % rec:vcled material. 30% nnst mmi imar

AHEAD OF THE CURVE
reasonable building pads. The removal of all significant trees shall be reviewed
and approved by a certified arborist selected and approved by the City but paid
by the applicant.
In lieu of attempting to save existing trees that were not planted with the intent of being
located within a residential neighborhood setting (small lot single-family development),
staff requests that you revise this condition so that the applicant would be required to
enhance the wetland buffer area and plant approved street trees, 15 feet on center, per
lot, along the public street frontage (within the 20-foot front yard setback area adjacent to
the new right-of-way).
By revising this condition, you would eliminate the need to require the services and
approval of a certified arborist, and, you would ensure that the new trees are an
appropriate species and located in an appropriate location for a new single-family
neighborhood. Staff anticipates attempting to utilize existing trees in a new setting, with
new grades, roadways and structures may create a future burden on the new
homeowners.
Therefore, staff requests that you revise Condition #2 to read as follows: The applicant
shall be required to plant and maintain approved street trees, 15 feet on center, within
the 20-foot front yard setback of each lot that abuts a public right-of-way. This condition
shall be completed prior to final plat approval and be subject to the review and approval
of the Development Services Division. In addition, this condition shall be included in the
subdivision's Codes, Covenants and Restrictions (CCR's), and the maintenance
becoming the responsibility of the Homeowner's Association upon project completion.
• Condition number three states, Staff and the applicant should work to attempt to
come up with a way of protecting passers-by from the storm water pond while
allowing it to be visually appealing, if possible from the NE 4`h Street corridor.
As this issue has become a great concern to the City, staff requests that you reinforce
the language within this condition. Staff recommends that the condition language
include requiring landscaping and decorative fencing/screening; which would help to
create a visually appealing frontage along the NE 4`h Street corridor.
As an example of what staff is attempting to require, I have taken photographs of the
Maureen Highlands and Windsong subdivisions. (see attached). As the photographs
depict, the detention facilities are adequately screened with a combination of a
decorative wood fence and landscaping around the perimeter of the fence. This in turn,
creates an appropriate screen when viewed by individuals traveling along the public
right-of-way.
Therefore, staff recommends that you modify Condition #3 by adding the following
language: The applicant shall be required to screen the detention facility with a
combination of decorative fencing and perimeter landscaping and irrigation. This
condition shall be completed prior to final plat approval and be subject to the review and
- - - - - approval of the Development Services Division.
Finally, staff recommends that you revise your recommendation to include the standard
adoption of the SEPA imposed conditions, while stating in your decision -that, The
Applicant shall be required to comply with the conditions imposed by the ERC.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration regarding staff's request for
reconsideration regarding the Shamrock Preliminary Plat. Please feel free to contact me
at (425) 430-7219 should you have any comments or questions regarding this
correspondence.

Re: Shamrock Preliminary Plat, LUA 04-030, ECF, PP
Dear Ms. Slatten and Mr. Jordan:
This office has received two Requests for Reconsideration. The applicant would like to reverse
the condition that reduces the plat from eleven (I 1) to ten (10) lots.
Staff has also asked that the lot reduction be reversed. Staff also requested three other issues be
reviewed. They have requested a modification to Condition 42 regarding tree retention. They
requested a modification of Condition #3 in regard to screening along NE 4th Street. Finally,
they asked that the ERC conditions be included as a condition of plat approval.
Both the applicant and staff noted that the density requirements for the R-5 Zone require a
minimum density and that due to the detention pond, the site already falls below that density.
They both argue that reducing it further by reducing the plat to ten lots would be inappropriate.
Code does allow reductions below the minimum if there are constraints in meeting the code -
mandated density so that is not a complete limitation. But both parties also provide a reason to
allow the eleven lots. The applicant has offered to reduce the buffer intrusion by 30% as well as
doing supplemental landscape improvements. Staff supports the effort. They both provided
proposed conditions that would govern the eleven -lot plat and protect the wetland and buffer.
The conditions suggested by the applicant and staff appear reasonable. With those conditions, it
appears appropriate to allow the eleven -lot plat.
Staff has suggested that a number of the trees on the subject site are large but not significant,
poorly located and not generally found in a residential environment and further some of them
might prove to be hazards needing removal. Staff has suggested that street trees would be an
appropriate way to balance tree removal. This office will note that staff reported at the hearing
that if neighbors want trees retained for aesthetics, they should more actively work to retain trees.
Neighboring concerns alone should not determine whether or not trees are maintained on certain
sites. This office is concerned that while this plat is residential, it is designated for "rural
residential" uses in the Comprehensive Plan. An effort should be made to not merely. manicure*- - - . - -
the. -site with -street trees -but also retain some of the more natural appearance. This office will
modify the condition allowing removal of some trees but trees along the perimeter of the wetland
and detention system shall be retained while street trees are added to the mix.

RENTON
This office agrees with staff that a decorative fence and landscaping be used to both protect and
enhance the NE 4th Street corridor along the detention pond. The proposed language suggested
by staff appears reasonable_
Finally, this office will add a condition requiring the applicant to comply with the conditions
imposed by the ERC.
In conclusion, the proposed plat appears reasonable as an eleven (l I) lot plat with the initial
conditions modified as follows (and restated in full):
1. The plat shall remain an 1 1-lot plat.
2. The applicant shall save all significant trees on the site within 20 feet of the wetland,
buffer or detention pond that do not stand in the way of necessary right-of-way,
driveways and reasonable building pads. The removal of all significant trees noted
above shall be reviewed and approved by a certified arborist selected and approved
by the City but paid by the applicant.
3. Staff and the applicant should work to attempt to come up with a way of protecting
passers-by from the storm water pond while allowing it to be visually appealing, if
possible from the.NE 4th Street corridor.
4. The applicant shall be required to screen the detention facility with a combination of
decorative fencing and perimeter landscaping and irrigation: This condition shall be
completed prior to final plat approval and besubject to the review and approval of
the Development Services Division.
5. The applicant shall place "No Parking.' signage near the emergency vehicle
hammerhead turnaround service the development. The satisfaction of this
requirement shall be subject to the Development Services Division prior to recording
of the plat.
6. A homeowner's association or maintenance agreement shall be created concurrently
with the recording of tbe'plat in order to establish maintenance responsibilities for
this development. A draft of the document(s), if necessary, shall be submitted to the

7. The applicant shall be required to pay the appropriate Issaquah School District

8. Modify the footprint, for Lot 10 to .further reduce the impact to existing wetland
:buffer. Decrease the encroachment by at least 30 percent of the original
:encroachment subject to City of Renton approval

and/or added wetland buffer. Locations to be determined by a wetland biologist.

TO: Don Persson, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
VIA: V) Kat y Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor
FROM: Webby, HR & RM Administrator
STAFF CONTACT: Eileen Flott, HR Manager
SUBJECT: Establishment of Grade for Probation Clerk and Airport
Operations Specialist
ISSUE:
Establishment of grades for Probation Clerk and Airport Operations Specialist. The
positions were approved in Ordinance 5072; however, grades were not established in the
ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the grades a08 for Probation Clerk and a23 for Airport
Operations Specialist.
BACKGROUND:
Ordinance No. 5072 increased the 2004 budget for various funds, and increased the total
number of position in 2004 and increased the City's reserves. Five (5) positions were
approved in the ordinance, however three (3) of the positions were new positions, which
did not have salary ranges determined. The salary ranges were to be determined at a later
date by Human Resources.
One of the three (3) positions (Business Systems Analyst) was brought to Council on May
24, 2004. This position was brought to Council earlier because the job classification was
established for a re-classification and the salary survey was completed. The City and
Union bargained and approved the salary range and job classification.
Human Resources has completed the Probation Clerk and Airport Operations Specialist
positions' salary surveys. The Union and City have bargained the salary grades for the
Probation Clerk and Airport Operations Specialist positions. The Union's executive
board met on July 141h and has approved the recommended ranges of a08 for Probation
Clerk and a23 for Airport Operations Specialist.

"GOOD NEWS" ANNOUNCEMENTS
July 14, 2004
* High schools throughout the district will benefit from a newly acquired grant totaling nearly $150,000. The
Smaller Learning
Communities (SLC) grant, offered by the U.S. Department of Education, allows high schools to develop
plans for implementing school -centered smaller learning communities which might include:
schools -within -schools, academic teaming, and teacher advisory and adult advocate systems. The
exciting and complex work is designed to improve academic achievement for more than 3,300 students in
grades 9-12. The grant, which allows for the planning phase of the SLC program, paves the way for the
district to apply for a three-year implementation grant, worth up to one million dollars a year.
* Campbell Hill Elementary School Principal Reginald Reid recently received an award of recognition from
the Snohomish County Police Department Athletic League for his exemplary service and championship
qualities in education and civic virtue. The League has been very involved in helping Reginald with
