PROCLAMATION: Local Veteran Employment Representative Program 60th Anniversary - June, 2004 4. PUBLIC HEARING: Proposal to extend applicability of current Urban Center overlay design guidelines to big -box retail uses located north and west of I-405 5. APPEAL: Planning & Development Committee Report re: 1800 Jones Avenue Short Plat INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council, feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court, has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council, while sitting as an appellate body, is acting as a quasi-judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code, and by State law, the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning & Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence, and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning & Development Committee, the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However, this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick, easy, inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 6.

PROCLAMATION A proclamation by Mayor Keolker-Wheeler was read declaring the month of Local Veterans Employment June, 2004, to be "Local Veterans Employment Representative Program 60th Representative Program 60th Anniversary" in the City of Renton, encouraging all members of the Anniversary - June, 2004 community, the military, and veteran service providers to join in this special recognition. MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION AS READ. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: Big -Box Retail Uses accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Design Guidelines public hearing to consider applying existing design guidelines to big -box retail uses located north and west of I-405. Alex Pietsch, Economic Development Administrator, stated that during a retreat, Council expressed concern about the appearance of large format or big -box retail uses. Upon analysis, staff found a way to impose some design guidelines without being too onerous on development as the City is interested in attracting these types of retailers to the Renton community. Rebecca Lind, Planner Manager, described the specific concerns regarding the appearance of big -box retail uses, such as building wall height and design, landscaping, loading areas, and how the building looks from the street. She explained that staff proposes to apply the existing Urban Center District design guidelines to big -box retail uses in the Commercial Arterial and Industrial zones, except in the Employment Area'Valley Comprehensive Plan designation south of I-405. The regulations would be triggered by the size of the building - 75,000 square feet, one story, and a 30-foot wall - and would not apply to other retail uses. Detailing how the design guidelines work, Ms. Lind explained there is a minimum standard that all development is required to comply with, and there is a set of guidelines that allow a more flexible way to meet the intent of City Code and allow for design creativity. She reviewed the topics currently June 7, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 184 addressed in City Code, including site design and building location; building orientation; building entries; transition to surrounding development; parking, access, and pedestrian circulation; landscaping; building design; signage; and lighting. Ms. Lind indicated that staff has not yet addressed Council's request to analyze design guidelines for all commercial uses. The matter was referred to the Planning Commission; and staff anticipates broadening the existing design guidelines, and will evaluate the need for specific guidelines during its sub -area planning process. Public comment was invited. Joe Geivett, 1144 Eastlake Ave. E., #601, Seattle, 98109, with PACLAND, stated that his company designed the Sam's Club on S. Grady Way and worked on other retail establishments in the Renton area. Mr. Geivett indicated that establishing design guidelines is a great idea, and he displayed drawings of big - box projects that PACLAND is working on, pointing out many design features. Mr. Geivett emphasized the need to preserve the main operations of the stores, and he reviewed the City's design regulations pertaining to landscaping and loading area screening. MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE RULES AND ALLOW THE SPEAKER FIVE MORE MINUTES. CARRIED. Mr. Geivett continued to comment on and offer suggestions for the design guidelines that address building appearance, lighting, pedestrian access, sign height, fencing, and roof screening. He acknowledged that the guidelines do allow for flexibility, but pointed out that vague guidelines can cause difficulties for architects. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler expressed her appreciation for the speaker's comments and feedback, saying that it is good to hear from someone in his line of work endorsing the use of design guidelines. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Commenting on the design guidelines concerning roof screening, Councilman Corman suggested that City Code allow for latitude in regards to artistic creativity. APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Briere presented a report on the Planning & Development appeal of the 1800 Jones Ave. Short Plat (SUP-03-095). The Committee met Committee on this appeal on 5/20/2004 and 6/03/2004. The Committee found that there is Appeal: 1800 Jones Ave Short no substantial error in fact or law in the Hearing Examiner's decision on the Plat, Kinzer & Lunsford, SHP- original appeal and recommended that the Hearing Examiner's decision be 03-095 affirmed. Appellants raised a number of issues concerning this appeal. The primary contention was that the lot sizes in the short plat are too small considering the size of the surrounding lots. There were also issues raised about drainage, tree removal, separation between properties, the potential size of homes and privacy. This Council has been very hesitant to reduce minimum densities in plats below that provided in City Code. The Comprehensive Plan under Policy LU-23, June 7, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 185 indicates that plats over a half -acre in size should achieve minimum density, and that the minimum density may be adjusted due to constraints on the site. The constraints listed by. the appellants are not on the site and do not serve as a basis to adjust the minimum density. This short plat is .71 acres and so must meet minimum density. The minimum density for the zone for the short plat is between five and eight dwelling units per acre. Reducing the short plat by one lot would reduce the minimum density to .424 dwelling units per acre, below the minimum density. of five dwelling units per acre. Lots may be as small as 4,500 square feet, but the lots in the short plat are 5,999 square feet and above, adjusting the lot sizes to the high side to take into consideration the larger lots in the neighborhood. The appellants pointed to Policy H-20, which allows a reduction in density of a subdivision, but that policy permits that reduction in density due to lot configuration, lack of access, or physical constraints on the site. None of those reasons for reduction exist. Appellants also raised Policy LU-40, which states that new lots developed at higher densities within existing neighborhoods should be designed to incorporate street locations, lot configurations, and building envelopes which address privacy and quality of life of existing residents. This policy by its own terms anticipates higher densities within existing neighborhoods. The appellants are not impacted by the location of the interior street. The lots are configured and the building envelopes established so that front yard setbacks are presented to the appellants, that is 20-foot setbacks, rather than side yard setbacks that would be five feet. Therefore the short plat has been designed to take into account lot configurations and building envelopes which address privacy and quality of life of existing residents. The remainder of the issues that have been raised by the appellants are dealt with by the Development Regulations (City Code Title IV) established by this Council and, as such, are development issues and not short plat issues.* Councilwoman Briere reported that the Committee has questions regarding how the City approaches minimum density and some of the infill areas of the City. The subject was placed on the work plan to be addressed as part of the Comprehensive Review process. *MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2004 and beyond.

He described the structure of the organization and expressed his hope that Council will grant CARE an opportunity to prove itself to the City and to the community. Citizen Comment: Martin - . Roland Martin, 661 Taylor Ave. NW, Renton, 98055, expressed his Fireworks Ban disappointment with the Council's decision to ban fireworks, claiming that the decision was based on faulty statistics and flawed analysis. He emphasized that citizens do not need further restrictions on their liberties, and pointed out that the use of fireworks at 4th of July celebrations helps to bring about more cohesive neighborhoods.

The City Council has expressed a desire to apply design guidelines to big -box retail uses in the Commercial Arterial and Industrial zones except in the Employment Area Valley south of I-405. The intent is to ensure that future big -box developments are created subject to design guidelines that improve their aesthetics and appearance. RECOMMENDATION: • Apply a use note to big -box retail uses requiring those uses located in the Commercial Arterial and Industrial zones to comply with the design guidelines for the Urban Center District located in RMC 4-3-100, except in the Employment Area Valley South of I-405. Amend the applicability of the City's design guidelines in the Urban Center overlay (RMC 4- 3-100B) to include big -box retail uses in the Commercial Arterial and the Industrial zones zone except in the Employment Area Valley South of I-405. v o uz o ® 4, O U aXi w a Di N � ai •� � � p Q h � • N i .� M.

REPORT June 7, 2004 Janes Avenue Short Plat. Appeal File-LUA=03 095� "SHP` ("Referred V1"0/2004) APPROVEDBY CiTV COUNCIL Date - 0200 The Planning & Development Committee met on this appeal on May 20, 2004 and June 3, 2004. The Committee finds that there is no substantial error in fact or law in the Hearing Examiner's decision on the original appeal and recommends. that the Hearing. Examiner's decision be affirmed. Appellants raise a number of issue concerning this appeal. The primary contention is that the lot sizes .in the, short plat are too small considering the size of the surrounding lots. There are also issues raised,abou't" `drainage, tree removal;; separation between properties, the potential size 'of homesR and privacy. This Council has been Very hesitant to:reduce minimum densities in plats below that er rehensive Plan under folic LU 23 in dicates that lats.ov ' 'node. ThecCom r_ provided ul y ,. y p Y P /2 acre in size should ,achieve mmimum'density, and'that the minimum density may be adjusted.due to coristra nts on the site:; -,The constraints listed by Appellants are not on the it Tl%is short lat is .71 acres site acid do'not serve as a basis o adjust4,6 mimrn tm density., ^ p and so must meet mmrnum densrt Y The mmimum density for the zone for the short plat is between 5 and 8 dwelling units per acre.' Reducing the short plat by one lot would reduce the minimum; density" to .424 ..dwelling units per acre, below the in niutn<dens ty of 5 dwelling,units per acre: Lots may be as mall as 4,500: square feet, but the lots in the short plat are 5,999 square feet and above,adjusting' the lot sizes to the high side to take into consideration the larger, lots in the :neighborhood. Appellants point to Policy H-20, which allows a reduction in density of a subdivision; but that; policy. -Permits, that reduction in density due. to lot configuration; lack of access or physical constraints on the site. None of those reasons for reduction exist. Appellants also raise Policy LU•40, which states that new lots developed athigher densities"within existing neighborhoods should be designed to incorporate street loeations;lot configurations and building "envelopes which address privacy and `quality of life of existing, residents. This policy by. its own terms anticipates, higher densities within existing neighborhoods. The Appellants are not impacted by. the ocation of the interior. street. The lots are configured and the. building envelopes established.so that front yard setbacks are presented to the Appellants,, that is 20 foot setbacks, rather than. side yard, setbacks that would be 5 feet. Therefore the short plat has been designed to take into Jones Ave: Short Plat Appeal Page 2 account lot configurations and building envelopes which address privacy and quality of CITY OF RENTON MEMORANDUM DATE: June 7, 2004 TO: Don Persson, Council President Members of the Renton City Council FROM: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer SUBJECT: Administrative Report In addition to our day-to-day activities, the following items are worthy of note for this week: GENERAL • As part of an increased effort to reach out to the public, the public is invited to a special event on Monday, June 21", from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., at the new Fire Station #12 in the Renton Highlands, located at 1209 Kirkland Avenue NE.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: X Renton River Days is celebrating its 191h year July 20 — July 25, 2004. In the past, it has been the policy of the City to waive all permit fees for activities endorsed by the Renton River Days Board of Directors. Each Renton River Days' event and activity will still be subject to review and approval by the appropriate City departments, such as inspection of food booths and tents (Fire), and street closures and routes for the Parade and River Days Run 4 Kids (PBPW/Transportation). All 2003 sanctioned events are returning to the 2004 festival, including the Airport Expo at Renton Municipal Airport (static aircraft displays, and free plane rides hosted by the EAA Young Eagles) on July 24, and Boatstock at Gene Coulon Beach Park on July 24 and 25. (Note: there will be no commercial sales activities associated with Boatstock.) Shuttle Express will once again provide free shuttle service to Gene Coulon (boat show), Renton Airport (Airport Expo), Liberty Park on Bronson Way (main festival grounds), Renton Memorial Stadium (parking), Cedar River Park (RCC), City Centre Parking (downtown garage) and South Grady Park & Ride (parking). In 2003, it was approved to waive City Centre Parking fees during festival week. This is once again requested for 2004, for the dates July 21 — 25, 2004. We are additionally seeking the Council's permission to hang 100 River Days banners on City light poles from June 21 through July 30. Note: Use of City parks and trails was approved by the Park Board at the May 11, 2004, meeting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve request to waive permit and parking garage fees, and for installation of festival street pole banners, for Renton River Days.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: A tenant on the 4th floor of the 200 Mill Building, Eoscene Corporation, has proposed to lease 2,024 square feet of space adjacent to their existing suite on a month -to -month basis until the end of their current lease, April 30th, 2005. The monthly rent for the expanded space would be $2,783.00. This rent equalizes to $1.375 per square foot per month, compared to $1.47 per square foot per month for their current leasehold. However, the space will be taken "as -is," with no tenant improvements or special expenses on the City's part. Business terms also include a waiver of brokerage fee by Eoscene's representing broker, Cushman & Wakefield. A brokerage fee would typically range between $1,400 and $2,783 for this type of amendment. The business terms of the proposed lease have been favorably reviewed by our real estate team and by City staff. Legal and Risk Management are reviewing the proposed lease amendment document. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the proposed lease amendment with Eoscene Corporation. Rentonnet/agnbill/ bh MEMORANDUM CITY OF RENTON COMMUNITY SERVICES 0 Committed to Enriching Lives 0 TO: Don Persson, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor ,�AA) FROM: Dennis Culp, Community Services Administrator STAFF CONTACT: Peter Renner, x6605 SUBJECT: Proposed Lease Amendment— Eoscene Corporation DATE: May 24, 2004 Issue: Should the City sign an Amendment to Eoscene's current lease at the 200 Mill Building to allow Eoscene to expand their space. Recommendation: Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the lease amendment with Eoscene Corporation Background: • Eoscene proposes an 11-month lease amendment for 2,024 additional square feet of space adjacent to their current leasehold of 3,931 square feet of space at the 200 Mill Building. The City would receive $16.50 per square foot per year, $30,613 over the remaining life of their lease. • Eoscene develops and markets software and associated sensing devices for high-speed rail integrity analysis; their customer base is largely European. Their sales have grown and they have added employees recently, accounting for their need for more space. • Accepting the lease amendment provides the City with additional revenue at little additional operating expense. There have been ongoing efforts by the property manager to renew Eoscene's tenancy for a longer term. Eoscene recently retained Cushman and Wakefield to analyze their long-term space needs, and are not ready to commit to a renewal with the City at this time. It is generally accepted that the expense of moving often tips relocation discussions in the favor of remaining in place. Eoscene's absorption of additional space adds to that City advantage. The tenant is pleased with the building and appreciates that the City is making improvements to the HVAC system, the source of their single minor complaint. • The lease amendment with Eoscene contains the following business points: o Eoscene will occupy an additional 2,024 square feet on the 4th floor of the 200 Mill Building on a month -to -month basis, structured as a lease amendment. o The space requires no tenant improvements. o Monthly rents for the period effective June 1, 2004 through April 30, 2005 will increase from $5,781.85 to $8,564.85, a gain of $30,613 revenue over the remaining life of the lease. Conclusion: Eoscene is a good tenant. Their business has grown substantially and future growth prospects are also very good. Leasing additional space to Eoscene provides an advantage to the City in the competition to secure their continued tenancy. The additional cash flow to the City is also worthwhile. Staff has reviewed and agreed with the business points of the lease.

The monthly rent for the extended period would be the same as the current last year's rent rate, namely $12,986.75. The space requires no additional tenant improvements or City actions. Business terms include rent changes only for the next rental year and for the last year of the lease, respectively, as indicated in Paragraph One above. The scheduled rents for the intermediate years of the lease will remain as they are written in the original lease document. The business terms of the proposed lease have been favorably reviewed by our real estate team and by city staff. Legal and Risk Management are reviewing the proposed lease amendment document. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the proposed lease amendment with the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center.

STAFF CONTACT: Peter Renner, x6605 SUBJECT: Proposed Lease Amendment — King County Sexual Assault Resource Center (KCSARC) DATE: May 24, 2004 Issue: Should the City sign an amendment to KCSARC's 7-year lease at the 200 Mill Building to extend it for an additional year and to provide reduced rent for the current year. Recommendation: Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the lease amendment with KCSARC. Background: • KCSARC proposes a 1-year lease extension for 7,421 square feet of space at the 200 Mill Building. In exchange, the City would provide $11,131.44 of rent relief, roughly 8%, in the current year. • KCSARC is an award -winning, registered, charitable organization in Washington. Their primary funding is provided by grants and donations. • A distressed Puget Sound economy has reduced KCSARC's funding, so they have been pursuing cost reductions. They conducted a comparable rent analysis and determined that their rent is higher than rents for similar space in similar buildings. However, their analysis largely overlooked the substantial cost of tenant improvements to their space, which must be recovered by the landlord in the rents. • KCCARC requested the Property Manager, GVA Kidder Matthews, to propose an amendment to their lease that would provide rent relief for this year. The lease amendment is a result of that effort. • Accepting the lease amendment provides the City with additional security of a tenant in Suite 125 for another year and more variety in lease termination dates across the entire tenant group. These are both desirable building performance profile elements. • The lease amendment with KCSARC contains the following business points: o Monthly rents for the period effective April 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005 will reduce from $11,749.92 to $10,822.30, a loss of $11,131.44 in revenue. o Monthly rents escalate each year of the lease. Monthly rents for the years from April 1, 2005 to March 31, 2009 will continue on the same schedule as written in the lease in force. o An additional year of tenancy is requested in the amendment, at the same rate as the final year of the lease in force, namely $12,986.75 per month, a gain of $155,841.00 revenue. o The net revenue gain to the City is $144,709.56, not factoring opportunity costs of the money lost in the first year, a potential increase in property management expenses in the final year of the amended lease, or the effect (negative or positive) of potential commercial real estate market dynamics. Conclusion: KSARC is a valuable asset to our community, and has been a very good tenant. The revenue from an additional year of tenancy easily offsets the loss of revenue from rent relief in this next year. Staff has reviewed and agreed with the business points of the lease.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: The City Council adopted a Resolution enacting a moratorium on primary use surface parking lot development on December 15, 2003. This moratorium gave the City time to review policies and criteria needed to ensure that commercial surface parking lots, transit facilities, and park and ride lots are sited in a way that implements the Land Use Element Urban Center policies, transit policies within the adopted Transportation Element, and the City Council Business Plan goals. The moratorium expires June 15, 2004. Staff and Planning Commission review of this issue is completed and the Administration is forwarding an ordinance for Council's consideration that will put in place new regulations for park and ride facilities. The regulations add shared -use park and ride uses and permanent park and ride facilities to the Land Use Table Section 4-2-060, subject to conditions, in the Industrial zones, and in the Neighborhood Commercial, Suburban Commercial, Commercial Arterial, Center Downtown, Commercial Office Urban Center- North 1 and Urban Center - North 2 zones. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the proposed ordinance establishing regulations for primary use and shared -use parking for park and ride facilities. C:\Documents and Settings\mpetersen\Local Settings\Temp\Park and Ride Primary Use Parking.docTitle IV multiple zones, parking, ,park and ride primary use parking CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS & STRATEGIC PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: June 1, 2004 TO: Don Persson, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: Mayor Kathy Keolker-Wheeler FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator W' ` STAFF CONTACT: Rebecca Lind (ext 6588) SUBJECT: Primary Use Surface Parking Lots and Park and Ride Facilities and Resolution of Moratorium Issues ISSUE: King County Metro has recently explored using a surface parking lot on Rainier Avenue near S. 4`h Place, in the vicinity of the Fred Meyer complex as a park & ride for transit commuters traveling between Renton and Seattle. The City is concerned that land intended to be used for more intensive commercial uses will instead be taken up by vehicle storage for commuters. The City requires parking as an accessory use through development standards in Chapter 4 of Title 4 throughout the City. However, the City does not have adequate regulations addressing parking as the primary use on a parcel of land. A moratorium was enacted on primary use surface parking by a resolution adopted December 15, 2003. RECOMMENDATION: • Incorporate proposed new policies for three types of park and ride facilities: Urban, Suburban, and Shared facilities into the updated Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. • Adopt proposed Renton Municipal Code amendments defining shared -use and dedicated park and ride facilities and adding specific use notes to regulate park and ride facilities in the following way: ➢ In the Center Downtown surface park and rides are not allowed. All park and ride facilities, dedicated and shared, must be in structured parking garages. H:\EDNSP\Title IV\Multiple Zone Amends\Parking\Surface Parking\Issue paper.doc June 1, 2004 Page 2 ➢ In the Commercial Arterial zone, park and rides are only allowed in the Rainier corridor area (between S. 7`h Street, S. Grady Way, Rainier Avenue S., Shattuck Ave S., and Lake Avenue S). if they are structured parking garages and occur as part of a mixed -use transit -oriented development. Dedicated surface park and rides are not allowed north and west of I-405. This provision makes the existing S. Grady Way facility a nonconforming use. ➢ Surface shared -use park and rides will be permitted as accessory parking in residential zones and in the Commercial Arterial zone. Shared -use parking in the Center Downtown must be structured. These lots utilize existing parking facilities that are required for some other non-residential use, such as a church. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: King County Metro has been using the former K-Mart site as an official but temporary surface park & ride lot since 2003. King County Metro has leased the parking lot from the property's owner, with the lease set to expire in mid-2004. Even prior to the lease, large portions of the vehicles parked in this parking lot were actually commuters rather than K-Mart shoppers. Presently, approximately 250 commuters (and at times, more than 300 commuters) use the former K-Mart site for park & ride purposes on a daily basis. This parking lot is attractive to transit commuters due to its proximity to transit buses leaving downtown Renton for downtown Seattle (Route 101). This parking lot has essentially been the last reservoir of free parking for commuters traveling to jobs in downtown Seattle. However, McLendon's has purchased the former K-Mart site and is planning to move its store to this site later in the year. King County Metro has been informed that their transit riders will not be able to use this surface parking lot once McLendon's is under construction. King County's attempt to secure a low-cost, nearby surface parking lot for commuter use has brought the issue of surface parking as a primary use in zoning to the attention of the City. PARKING AS A PRIMARY LAND USE: Parking exists as an accessory use for almost every land use in the present day. However, it is much more rare as a primary land use. Parking as a primary land use is most common in areas where there is a market for parking (e.g., areas where people are willing to pay for a parking space). In those cases, commercial parking lots become a viable use. Downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill, and the University District are all prime examples of areas where parking exists as a primary use. On the periphery of areas with a market for parking, and in suburban locations with good access to freeways and arterials, transit agencies provide free public parking through park & ride lots. Renton's Comprehensive Plan contains a number of policies dealing with parking in the Land Use, Transportation, and Downtown Elements. Generally speaking, parking in the Downtown and other centers is encouraged. Joint use of parking facilities is desired in these centers. Parking in the Employment Areas and the Employment Area Commercial in particular, encourage shared parking, a unified development with shared access points, and landscaping to soften the images of parking lots. Specific policies on park and ride uses in the Transportation Element state that criteria should be developed for siting park and rides (T-25), and that park and rides should be located in unincorporated King County to intercept pass -through traffic entering Renton (T-74). Other policies in the Downtown and Transportation Elements seem to June 1, 2004 Page 3 encourage structured park and ride downtown while making removal of commuter and employee parking from the downtown a high priority in favor of encouraging customer and business patron parking in the downtown. The City is in need of more clear policy direction on siting park and rides within its boundaries. The Renton Municipal Code regulates parking as a use by distinguishing between commercial or public structured parking, and commercial or public surface parking. In addition, there is the concept of accessory parking. Parking and other development standards required in order to establish or operate a use on a site according to the RMC are considered accessory according to RMC 4-2-050C.4.a.iii. Commercial or public structured parking and commercial or public surface parking are permitted within the CA zone. Both types of parking are permitted so long as they do not exist along the ground floor of the Downtown Pedestrian District in the CD zone. The Renton Municipal Code contains the following definitions of parking relevant to the Use Table in Chapter 2: PARKING, SURFACE: Open lots or grounds with at -grade parking improvements. PARKING GARAGE, STRUCTURED: A building or structure which may be located above or below ground, with stalls accessed via interior aisles, and used for temporary storage of motor vehicles. Structured parking can be a stand-alone use or a part of a building containing other uses. Neither of these definitions meets the exact definitions of parking located in the use tables in RMC 4-2. The closest ones are the Chapter 11 definition, "Surface Parking" meeting the definition of Commercial or Public Surface Parking; and the Chapter 11 definition, "Parking Garage, Structured" meeting the definition of Commercial or Public Structured Parking. Chapter 11 also contains the following definition of "Transit Center" which is also treated in the Use Table in Chapter 2: TRANSIT CENTER: Any facility designed for accommodating large numbers of public transportation passengers to wait, board, and disembark at the intersection of multiple transit routes. PERMANENT VS. SHARED -USE PARK AND RIDES: King County Metro staff brought up an issue that further complicates the issue of park and rides. King County not only has permanent park and ride facilities, but there are also shared - use park and ride lots. A typical shared -use park and ride site may be a church where parking is required for the day of church service, yet the parking lot remains relatively unused during the typical hours that a commuter would need to park his or her vehicle. In cases like this, a complementary use of that parking for a park and ride may be beneficial and make more efficient use of public resources than the transit agency seeking out and purchasing a separate permanent park and ride lot in the same area as the church or other use. King County Metro wanted to ensure that they would still be able to utilize shared -use park and rides in Renton. June 1, 2004 Page 4 POLICY ON PARK AND RIDE LOCATION CRITERIA: Staff proposes developing new policies within the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan as part of the ongoing Growth Management Act update. These policies would guide locating new park and rides, and relocation of any existing park and rides that may be moved. Two types of park and rides are envisioned: 1) Structured park and rides that are located within the City's Urban Center and potentially, its less intense Center Village mixed - use designation; and 2) Surface park and rides located in commercial or industrial designations outside of the City's Urban Center and Center Village designations. The first type of park and ride is intended to be supportive of the City's Urban Center by providing commuters for the City's transit center while also making parking available to patrons of the City's burgeoning nightlife and weekend activities at times when transit usage is low. Park and rides in this environment are intended to be mixed in with other uses, structured in garages both above- and below -ground, and to draw from commuters in Renton's central and western neighborhoods. The following policy language is suggested for this type of urban park and ride. NEW POLICY FOR URBAN PARK AND RIDES: Permanent park and rides within the City of Renton's Urban Center and its Center Village designations should meet the following criteria: • Park and rides should use structured parking garages. Parking stalls within the park and ride should be available for non -commuter use during evenings and weekends. • Park and rides should be located within the immediate vicinity of the City's Transit Center, or any future major transit transfer facility (e.g., in Renton Highlands or South Lake Washington Neighborhood). The second type of park and ride is envisioned as being primarily surface parking lots that are located in commercial or industrial areas within easy walking distance of employment and/or multi -family areas in order to increase the numbers of people able to walk to and from transit. These park and rides should be positioned in such a way that they provide convenient access for transit vehicles using limited access highways and important state routes without attracting large volumes of pass -through commuter traffic on the City's street system. These park and rides are designed to serve City residents from both south and east of I-405, as well as the Kennydale neighborhood to the north. NEW POLICY ON SUBURBAN PARK AND RIDES: Permanent park and rides located outside of the City's Urban Center should meet the following criteria: • Park and rides should be located in the vicinity of I-405, SR-167, SR-900 east of I-405, and/or SR-169. These park and ride locations shall be chosen to provide convenient access for transit to those corridors while minimizing commuter pass -through traffic on Renton's street system. June 1, 2004 Page 5 • Park and rides should be located in Commercial or Industrial designations within easy walking distance of employment, and/or multi family uses. • Surface park and rides should not be located within the Rainier Avenue corridor north of the I-4051SR-167 interchange. • Park and ride lots consisting of only surface parking should be a maximum of six acres to avoid consuming large areas of urban land for primary use parking lots. NEW POLICY ON SHARED -USE PARK AND RIDES: Shared -use park and rides located anywhere within the City should meet the following criteria: • Park and rides spaces should be shared -use from existing, under-utilized parking spaces required per development standards for a primary use. • Parking lots should not be expanded to accommodate shared -use park and rides. • Park and rides should not be shared -use within the commercial area west of the Urban Center — Downtown bounded by SW 7`h Street, Shattuck Avenue, Airport Way, and Hardie Avenue SW since cash flow resulting from a lease may be a disincentive for more intense redevelopment of surface parking lots in this area. The combination of these three new policies should direct park and ride investments into concentrated areas of the mixed -use urban centers, and in limited commercial/industrial areas outside of them. They should also prevent surface park and rides from being located in the commercial and area west of downtown and along the Rainier Avenue corridor. The areas west of downtown and along the Rainier Avenue corridor are key to the City's redevelopment efforts. The Rainier Avenue corridor provides the largest traffic counts of Renton's arterials. In addition, existing City policies state the priority should be given to redevelopment of land located in or closer to the City's Urban Center (Policy LU-14), and that lands with adequate existing infrastructure should be given priority for development (Policy LU-157). The properties west of downtown and along the Rainier Avenue corridor meet these criteria. Therefore, they would be poor locations for long-term surface or primary use park and ride investments. RENTON MUNICIPAL CODE REGULATIONS ON PARK AND RIDES: Based upon the proposed policies and discussion above, staff recommends defining and regulating "Park and Ride, Permanent" and "Park and Ride, Shared -use" as separate uses from other parking uses within the Use Table. Proposed use categorizations are designed to prevent surface park and ride facilities from being located in the commercially zoned area immediately west of the Urban Center Downtown. However, mixed -use transit oriented development with structured park and ride facilities would be permitted. In addition, shared -use park and rides will be permitted in such a way that existing shared -use park and rides at Fred Meyer west of Hardie Avenue SW and south of SW Sunset Boulevard, First Baptist Church at Hardie/Langston, and the King of Glory at Hardie/Renton Ave Ext. will all be permitted. Permanent park and rides will be permitted on June 1, 2004 Page 6 properties both east and south of I-405. Park and rides are permitted within the Center Downtown (CD) or Urban Center North 1 (UC-N1) if they are structured parking garages. The existing South Renton Park and Ride at Grady Way will become a nonconforming use under this proposal. Staff believes that nonconforming status will permit King County Metro to do some improvements to the existing park and ride so long as parking capacity is not increased at the existing location. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION King County Staff reviewed this proposal at the Planning Commission and submitted a revised request asking for: 1) The ability to provide structured parking for mixed use transit oriented development in the Rainier corridor, and requesting-2) That the existing S. Grady park and ride facility remain a conforming use (see attached correspondence from Eric Gleason April 21, 2004). Staff and the Planning Commission concur with the first request but disagree with the second. The Planning Commission also recommended that the term "leased" parking be changed to "shared —use parking" and that "permanent" park and ride be changed to "dedicated" park and ride to avoid conflicts when Metro leases permanent park and ride facilities. The term "dedicated" also connotes primary use or permanent use as part of a mixed - use application. The proposed code language is revised to reflect the Planning Commission recommendation. CONCLUSION: Adoption of the City's policies and implementing code regulating park and ride facilities allows resolution of the current moratorium on surface parking lots. The larger issue of private commercial primary use parking included in the moratorium resolution is not addressed by these proposed amendments. If the City Council supports further review of commercial parking lots a separate work program would be required. As a result of code amendments proposed at this time, park and ride facilities will be the subject of new restrictions but commercial parking lots will continue as allowed in the existing code. Document2J POLICY BACKGROUND: The City of Renton's Comprehensive Plan includes several policies dealing with parking: Transportation Policies Policy T-21. Parking areas serving the downtown transit center should be encouraged in parking structures. Policy T-22. Park -and -ride facilities should be located outside of downtown and feed into the downtown transit center. Policy T-25. Criteria should be developed to locate park -and -ride lots serving residential areas. Policy T40. Appropriate parking ratios should be developed which take into account existing parking supply, land use intensity and transit and ride -sharing goals. Policy T41. Alternatives to on -street or on -site parking should be explored. Policy T-42. Criteria should be developed to locate park -and -ride lots serving residential areas. Policy T-43. The construction of parking structures should be encouraged. Strategy T-47.1. Downtown (Central Business District) parking restrictions and/or removal resulting from TDM/CTR policies shall apply to commuter/employee parking not to business patron/customer parking. Policy T-74. Provide park -and -ride lots in unincorporated King County to intercept pass through traffic affecting the Renton street system. Transit service to these park -and -ride lots should be frequent in order to encourage transit usage. Downtown Policies Policy DT-21. Discourage uses in downtown that require large areas of surface parking. Objective DT-C: Promote a reasonable balance between parking supply and parking demand. Policy DT-29. Parking should be structured whenever feasible and serve more than one use. Policy DT-30. The existing supply of parking should be better managed to encourage joint use rather than parking for each individual business. Policy DT-31. Downtown parking standards should recognize the different demands and requirements of both local and regional retail customer parking versus those of office and residential uses. Policy DT-32. Parking standards should include minimum and maximum number of spaces based on the type of land use. Policy DT-33. Alternatives to individual on -site parking (e.g., fees in -lieu of parking, parking management district, downtown parking fund, joint public/private structures) should be explored. 4/14/2004 H:\EDNSP\Title PAMultiple Zone Amends\Parking\Surface Parking\surface parking memo3 update.doc\p a S 132nd 0/9 i7z Airport Wo Yd S NMIal III 1n 11111 :11� 4striction on Leased Park & Rides Oti ,� Economic Development, Neighborhoods & Strategic Planning Alex Pietsch, Administrator G.

King County Department of Transportation Metro Transit Route Facilities Mail Stop KSC-TR-0413 201 South Jackson Street Seattle, WA 98104-3856 April 21, 2004 Mr. Ray Giometti, Chairman City of Renton Planning Commission Renton City Hall 1055 S. Grady Way Renton, WA 98055 Re: Proposed Amendments to Renton Municipal Code Dear Chairman Giometti and Planning Commission Members: The proposed code amendments to the Renton Municipal Code presented at last Wednesday's meeting addressed zoning changes for different types of parking facilities. King County Metro Transit (Metro) is concerned about the impact this may have on existing and future park -and -ride lots in the City of Renton. We appreciate Renton City staff s willingness to meet with Metro staff to discuss these amendments. The addition of a new, leased park -and -ride lot category to the amendments did ease some of our concerns. However, we continue to be concerned that proposed amendment #105 will potentially make the existing South Renton park -and -ride lot a non -conforming use. Current zoning allows the South Renton park -and -ride lot as a permitted land use. This, designation will make it difficult over the years to properly maintain and make needed modifications to this facility. While we have no plans to change the size of the lot, we are currently developing plans for modifications aimed at increasing the access, safety and security of our patrons there. We plan to develop an area within the lot to facilitate transfers of our customers with disabilities who use Access Vans. These plans include lowering the landscaping berms, adding c-curbing to prevent illegal turning movements by auto traffic and moving the locations of some parking spaces. In the future we may also want to re -stripe or otherwise reconfigure the facility to fespond to changing travel behavior and demand. In a survey completed in February 2002, a majority of the vehicles parked in the lot were registered to Renton addresses. The lot clearly serves Renton residents and it is a valuable asset to the community that should be preserved and enhanced whenever possible. I Renton Planning Commission Z April 21, 2004 The restrictions placed on park -and -ride development in the Rainier Avenue corridor and other areas inhibit the County's ability to explore mixed -use transit oriented development that may include joint parking facilities. The County has launched several joint use projects in recent years including the parking garage at Overlake, joint use of the Northgate North retail parking structure, and Renton's Metropolitan Garage as cooperative efforts of private developers and King County Metro to stimulate transit oriented development. The Rainier Avenue corridor, for example, with its excellent transit service, may be an attractive venue for a future transit oriented development project combining residential and/or non-residential uses with commuter parking. We feel it is in our best mutual interest to have the flexibility to look at opportunities of this type when resources become available. Attached are additions to the proposed code amendments that we suggest would remedy many of the concerns we outlined above. Staff may also want to suggest a definition of Transit Oriented Development that includes opportunities for mixed -use development with shared commuter parking. We respectfully request that you consider these additions to the proposed amendments to the Renton Municipal Code. Should you have any questions concerning our recommended changes, please do not hesitate to contact me or Leonard Madsen, ( 206) 684-1604. We are very interested in continuing to provide the best transit service possible to the citizens of Renton and look forward to working further with the City on refining these recommendations.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: Lakeridge Development is developing a new single-family plat known as Earlington Ridge. As part of the Wastewater Utility's review of the development, we have worked with the Developer to build the sewer system in such a manner as to eliminate the Section's need to make certain capital improvements needed to serve the West Hill portion of our service area. These revisions to the developer's plans result in a larger sewer main than needed for the development, as well as increased depth beyond what would be needed to serve the development and originally identified basin. As such, in accordance with Section 4-6-010C of City Code, the developer is requesting to be compensated for his additional costs associated with this work. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department that Council approve the request by Lakeridge Development for Oversizing, in accordance with Section 4-6-010C of City Code, in an amount not to exceed $143,616.

RECOMMENDATION: • It is the recommendation of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department that Council approve the request by Lakeridge Development for Oversizing, in accordance with Section 4-6-010C of City Code, in an amount not to exceed $143,616.. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Lakeridge Development has been working on preparing engineering plans for its proposed Earlington Ridge Development located on the West Hill near Stevens Avenue SW and S 1341h Street. The plat is located outside Renton City Limits, but within our agreed upon sewer service area with the Skyway Water and Sewer District. In addition, the plat received sewer availability from the City prior to our current code that would preclude the City from providing sewer service to a new development outside the Renton City Limits. May 26, 2004 Page 2 During review of the plans, Wastewater staff recognized an opportunity to utilize the routing of the new sewer main for this development as part of our needed interceptor to serve a portion of the West Hill area that allows for the eventual elimination of the City's Earlington Lift Station. The City has had an on -going capital project for this new interceptor, but we have put this work on hold to allow the utility to concentrate on higher priority needs in the system. With the development moving forward at this time and with the opportunity to partner with the development to install a portion of the system as part of the development at a significant savings to the City, the developer is proceeding with his project with the included changes requested by Wastewater Staff. The changes to the initial plans include upsizing the sewer main from the required 8-inch size main needed for the development, to a 16-inch sewer interceptor. We also requested that the depth of the main be buried an additional 10 to 12-feet to accommodate the needs of the entire subbasin. This put the overall depth greater than 20-feet through about a 1,000-foot reach. This change in plans result in two significant cost issues, the first is cost of materials. Based on current pricing for materials, we are looking at an additional $54,000, which includes pipes, fittings, manholes and pipe bedding. The second significant factor is the extra excavation needed to accommodate our needed depth for the line. In order to construct the main, the contractor will need to bench the excavation, which will result in a significant amount of additional material removed during the installation and then backfilled into place. This additional excavation will cost approximately $66,000. The total estimated additional cost items are $120,000 plus adding a 10% contingency and sales tax, the final estimated cost will be $143,616. This cost to the City is significantly lower than our estimate for just a crossing of the Seattle Water Main of $350,000 alone. In addition to the cost savings for the crossing, we also will realize cost savings associated with increasing the total basin being able to be served with this new facility. The Wastewater Utility has sufficient funds to cover the estimated costs within its Earlington Sewer Replacement project (Sanitary Sewer Main Replacement/Rehabilitation budget line). By paying for this work upfront, we will simply defer other Earlington main replacement work programmed for 2004, to allow for payment at this time. CONCLUSION: The Wastewater Utility has an excellent opportunity to partner with Lakeridge Development to allow for a portion of our needed interceptor to be constructed as a portion of the proposed single-family development. The Utility has sufficient funds to cover the additional costs to participate in the work and the Utility will ultimately benefit from an overall cost savings of over $200,000 compared to our original plan to provide the service to the area. As such, we are recommending that Council approve the request for oversizing/extra depth cost participation for the sewer improvements associated with the Lakeridge Development known as Earlington Ridge.

Growth of the City has pushed the current collection routes to the limits of the collection hours established in the current contract. Waste Management has requested a residential solid waste collection reroute to begin in late June 2004, to increase efficiency and improve overall service to the customer. RECOMMENDATION: Proceed with reroute of residential solid waste collection in late June 2004. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Existing solid waste collection for the residential sector takes place 5 days a week, Monday - Friday. This is accomplished by having fewer collection vehicles operating within the City each day and spreading the number of customers collected over a 5-day period. In an effort to increase efficiency and to assist Utility Billing staff with improved communications to the residential customer, Waste Management will reroute all residential customers to either a Monday or Tuesday collection day. Operationally, this will mean that Waste Management will focus an increased number of collection vehicles within the City on Mondays and Tuesdays to collect the residential waste generated. Recycling and yard waste will continue to be collected weekly on the same day as garbage. Missed residential solid waste collections will be collected as per our current contractual agreement. This routing change will improve the missed collection response especially for our current Friday collection customers. May 24, 2004 Page 2 Currently a missed Friday collection must wait until the following Monday for response. Moving to Monday/Tuesday collections allows us to respond earlier to that customer, preventing waste piling up over a weekend. Additionally, Utility Billing will be better equipped to respond to customer inquiries with the knowledge that residential collection occurs only 2 out of the 5 collection days. Commercial collection, including multi -family customers will not be impacted by this change. While the City will experience a slight increase in collection vehicle traffic in its neighborhoods on Monday and Tuesday, due to this change, the overall impact is neutral because there will be no collection vehicle traffic in the neighborhoods Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Impact at the Renton Transfer Station will also be neutral as Waste Management is moving to this "Block Routing" methodology for all its territories that utilize the transfer station. Section 2.2.1 of our Solid Waste Collection Contract with Waste Management provides the ability for the contractor to change collection routes as stipulated below. While this section states that the request must be made 90 days in advance of the date of the change, we have the ability to waive this provision upon our approval. "If the Contractor wishes to change the route, day or time of collection except where provisions exist in this Contract for holidays, other special occasions and weather -related delays, the Contractor shall notify the City in writing ninety (90) days prior to the date of the intended change and the reasons therefore, but in no event shall the change be accomplished until permission therefore is given in writing by the City and notices have been sent to all affected customers thirty days prior to the change. Such notice will be provided to customers either with City billing statements or by direct mail at the Contractors expense, at the City's option. The City shall not unduly withhold permission to make routing changes. " On March 24, 2004, Waste Management met with the Solid Waste Utility and Utility Billing and outlined their request and staff discussed options for the residential reroute and customer outreach plan. Included in our discussion was a plan to notify all customers affected by the route change using multiple media strategies, the need to mitigate customer calls to our Utility Billing staff, and a plan for missed collections during the transition period. Staff continues to meet with Waste Management to develop the communication materials for this reroute. Reroute and Customer Notification Plan • City provides approval to Waste Management for the route change. • Waste Management provides the City with its proposed customer collection day assignment, including account number, name of customer and collection day (Monday or Tuesday). • City in coordination with Waste Management creates a web page devoted to information about the route change, including contact information for Waste Management Customer Service. HAFile Sys\SWU - Solid Waste Utility\SWU-05 - In House Committees\COW Briefing Collection Reroute.doc\LKtp May 24, 2004 Page 3 • City in coordination with Waste Management creates an article for the Renton Reporter, notifying residential customer of upcoming changes in collection. • Two (2) weeks prior to route change, Waste Management staff will tag every residential garbage can with information about the specific collection day change for each customer. The tag will include customer service contacts for Waste Management and a refrigerator magnet to remind customer of the changed collection day. No City Utility Billing contacts will be provided on the tags in order to mitigate their workload. • One (1) week prior to route change, Waste Management staff will again tag every residential garbage can with information about their solid waste collection change. The tag will include customer service contacts for Waste Management. No City Utility Billing contacts will be provided on the tags in order to mitigate their workload. • Route change occurs. • For 2-4 weeks following the route change, Waste Management will provide additional collection resources within the City to deal with any missed collections. • Following this implementation phase, we will revert to our usual procedures for missed collections. cc: Jay Covington, CAO Bonnie I.

The Water Utility section requests approval of Addendum # 1 in the amount of $71,976.35 to the consultant contract CAG 03-168 with Economic and Engineering Services, Inc. (EES). The addendum is needed to cover additional geotechnical inspection services required for the construction of the Maplewood Water Treatment Facility. The additional specialized inspection work was not anticipated in the original contract. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends that Council approve the addendum and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Addendum #1 to CAG-03-168, in the total amount of $71,976.35 with Economic and Engineering Services, Inc. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The City entered into consultant agreement CAG-03-168 with Economic and Engineering Services, Inc. (EES), on November 6, 2003, for services during construction of the Maplewood Water Treatment Facility. The contract includes $39,155 for services by a geotechnical subconsultant to perform field observations of soil conditions and testing requirements during the construction of the facility. May 17, 2004 Page 2 The contractor Mid -Mountain Contractors, Inc. (MMC) proposed an alternate construction approach for the building foundation. This approach known as "stone columns" substitutes deep excavation and backfill for the building with the use of stone columns to reduce potential settlement of the building due to poor soils conditions. The City approved the alternate stone columns method because it provides several advantages and cost savings to the project, such as: Less excavation and imported backfill materials are needed resulting in fewer truck trips and less impact to the operation of the golf course. • Less dewatering of groundwater is required, reducing the City's exposure to potential change order costs from unforeseen issues related to dewatering. The installation of the stone columns required greater engineering reviews and field observations by the geotechnical subconsultant than anticipated in the original contract budget. The cost for the extra work by the geotechnical subconsultant is $71,976.35. The Water Utility has budgeted sufficient contingency funds in the Maplewood Water Treatment Facility total project budget to cover this extra work. CONCLUSION: The additional geotechnical work is needed due to the use of stone columns. This method results in a potential cost savings to the overall project, reduces impact to golf course operations and allows the completion of the project on schedule. Staff recommends the approval of the addendum to the contract with EES for $71,976.35. cc: Lys Hornsby J.D.

Subsequent conversations with City Staff suggested a 12" line would be a better option. First Savings Bank of Renton understands the need for upgrading the infrastructure and is more than willing to do its part. However, since our proposed project occupies approximately one -quarter of the total block, shouldering the entire cost of the waterline replacement is overly burdensome. We have contracted with a highly recommended construction firm to do the project, and have received an acceptable bid.

They include but are not limited to the following: Miscellaneous fees Engineering Surveys Consultant services Permits Architectural oversight Although specific itemized costs are not currently available, it is our estimate that these items have increased the overall cost of the project as follows: Water main improvement soft costs $ 5,000.00 When consolidating the above stated costs into a lump sum figure, the resulting water main infrastructure improvement expense assessed to First Savings Bank is: Total projected water main costs $170,235.00 Your assistance is requested to petition the City of Renton for some financial partnership in the subject water main infrastructure improvement project. We propose the following cost sharing arrangement: First Savings Bank of Renton Water main improvement soft costs $ 5,000.00 '/2 of basic construction bid $80,000.00 Total $85,000.00 City of Renton Delta for increased water main size $ 5,235.00 '/z of basic construction bid $80,000.00 Total $85,235.00 Although the Bank's service area represents only one -quarter of the overall improvement zone, we nevertheless are willing to evenly split the total cost with the City as evident in this cost sharing proposal. It is our opinion that the financial partnership expressed in this letter can be a win/win situation for both the City and First Savings Bank. We will be able to adequately service our new facility and the City will benefit for years to come from an infrastructure improvement which will enhance the quality of life for its downtown citizens, at just a fraction of the total cost.
