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. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Human Services: 2002 & 2004 accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
CDBG Funds Reallocation and public hearing to consider the cancellation and reallocation of 2002 Community
Award Development Block Grant (CDBG) capital funds and the award of unallocated
2004 CDBG capital funds.
Karen Bergsvik, Human Services Manager, stated that the Human Services
Advisory Committee and City staff recommends canceling 2002 CDBG funds
in the amount of $71,733 to ElderHealth Northwest, and reallocating these .
funds to The Salvation Army Renton Food Bank and Social Services Center for
construction of the food bank. The food bank was the only Renton project that
met the criteria for the reallocation of funds. Ms. Bergsvik explained that
Elderhealth Northwest declined the funds, which were to be used to improve an
adult day health center facility, because the facility's lease was not renewed.
In regard to the food bank, Ms. Bergsvik reported that the environmental review
is complete, the conditional use permit has been granted, and the ground
breaking is scheduled for September, 2004. She indicated that staff and the
advisory committee recommend that the $55,000 allocated to the food bank in
2002 be canceled, and rolled into the 2003 allocation, which totaled $30,360.
Pointing out that this amounts to a total allocation of $157,093 in Renton
CDBG capital funds, Ms. Bergsvik stated that King County has also allocated
an additional $101,894 in CDBG capital funds for this project.
Continuing, Ms. Bergsvik stated that the Human Services Advisory Committee
and staff also recommend that $15,000 in 2004 unallocated CDBG capital
funds be awarded to ParkView Group Homes. The funds will go towards an
May 24, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 172
emergency repair to connect a group home to the City's sewer system. Ms.
Bergsvik concluded by saying that $35,300 still remain in 2004 CDBG
unallocated capital funds.
In response to Councilman,Clawson's inquiry regarding the funding for the new
food bank, Ms. Bergsvik explained that the food bank needs 70% of the $1.4
million estimated cost to break ground. Once that funding level is achieved, the
food bank can then raise the additional 30% via a public campaign.
Responding to Council President Person's question regarding the remaining
unallocated 2004 CDBG capital funds, Ms. Bergsvik stated that the plan is to
roll the funds into the 2005 funding allocation process, which starts next month.
She confirmed that the remaining 2004 unallocated funds must be for
capital projects, with the exception of employment programs, which can be
funded with capital dollars.
Public comment was invited.
Christine Giffey-Brohaugh, 4615 NE 22nd PI., Renton, 98056, representing The
Salvation Army, expressed her excitement at being so close to building the new
food bank. She stated her appreciation for the consideration of the funding
allocation to the food bank, and for the community's support towards this effort.

ADMINISTRATIVE
Olympic Pipe Line Company representative Bill Kidd, 521 236th St. NW,
REPORT
Stanwood, 98292, reported on the pipeline leak that occurred on May 23rd. He
Fire: Olympic Pipeline Leak
began by expressing the company's appreciation to all those who responded to
this incident. Mr. Kidd said the company is working with the Renton Fire
Department and various agencies to determine the cause of the fire, and to
formulate a plan for restarting the pipeline. He estimated that the pipeline will
be restarted late tomorrow night.
Mr. Kidd explained that the gasoline leak occurred in a small half -inch stainless
steel tubing that is attached to the main pipeline. The small hole was
apparently caused by an electrical conduit rubbing on the tubing. He reported
that crews are checking equipment in the area to make sure that it is safe to
bring it back into service. Maintenance work is being performed, as well as
environmental investigation and cleanup.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated she was notified of the incident shortly after it
occurred, and expressed her pleasure with how responding personnel handled
the situation. She clarified that this situation is much different than the pipeline
leak that occurred in Bellingham in 1999.
In response to Council inquiries, Mr. Kidd stated that the half -inch line is not
pressure tested, nor does it undergo smart pig internal inspection tests. He
explained that the 16-inch pipeline is located about three feet underground, and
the half -inch tubing is between a valve on the 16-inch pipeline and a valve that
is above the ground. The leak developed between those two valves. Mr. Kidd
advised that all such connections along the Olympic pipeline are being checked:
Regarding the amount of time it took to stop the leak, Mr. Kidd explained it
was due to the close proximity of the leak to the block valve, and the need to
bleed off the pressure in the pipeline.
In response. to Councilman Clawson's inquiry, Fire Chief Lee Wheeler
confirmed that there is a mechanism in place for the City to recover the costs it
incurred as a result of this incident.
Chief Wheeler reported that the Renton Fire Department responded to the
incident at the Olympic Pipe Line facility at 2317 Lind Ave. SW at 8:00 a.m.
Additional fire crews were called, and the City's Emergency Coordination
Center was activated at 12:00 p.m. at Fire Station #14. After the initial leak
was stopped at 3:45 p.m., a secondary leak was found. That leak was capped at
5:35 p.m. Chief Wheeler reviewed the various firefighting units that
responded, as well as the various responding agencies such as the State
Department of Ecology and the Federal Environmental Protection Agency.
Chief Wheeler estimated that City of Renton equipment and personnel costs are
approximately $50,000, and said the estimated total costs for public agencies
responding to this incident is approximately $100,000. He stated that over 70
fire personnel, 22 City of Renton staff members, and officials from various
agencies participated in the response.
May 24, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 174
Continuing, Chief Wheeler reported that currently both the 20-inch and 16-inch
pipelines operated by Olympic Pipe Line Company are shut down and will
remain that way until necessary repairs are made. He stated that the Fire
Department is involved in the decision making process that will ultimately
allow the pipeline to resume operation. The company is working on repairing
and testing the damaged equipment, and investigating the environmental
impacts to soil, ground water, and surface water. In conclusion, Chief Wheeler
described the services the Fire Department will provide such as monitoring,
investigating the cause, agency coordination, and over -seeing environmental
investigation and remediation activities. He complimented Olympic Pipe Line
Company's handling of the situation, and thanked neighboring jurisdictions for
the assistance they provided.
EDNSP: Television News Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reported that a story about Renton
Feature on Renton was featured on the Q 13 Fox News This Morning television program last week.
The segment was then replayed for the Council and public. Topics such as
Renton's downtown development, downtown area events and activities, and the
surplus of Boeing property were addressed.
Mr. Covington continued with the written administrative report that
summarizes the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs
adopted as part of its business plan for 2004 and beyond. Items noted included:
• The Association of Washington Cities will present the City of Renton with
two Certificates of Achievement, one for the 2004 Renton Community
Calendar and the other for the Veterans Memorial Park project.
• The Regional Transportation Investment District Executive Board has
decided not to put a package of regional transportation projects, and tax
increases to pay for them, on the November 2004 ballot. It is not yet clear
what steps will be taken regarding a possible ballot measure in 2005.
On May 20th, Puget Sound Energy (PSE) experienced an underground
power outage on the Earlington 15 grid that affected 20 commercial
customers around the S. Grady Way and Rainier Ave. S. intersection. This
outage also affected the traffic signal at Grady and Rainier. A bad
underground cable was found to be at fault, and PSE is conducting further
investigations to determine whether additional follow-up actions are
required.
Public Works: Power Outage
Responding to Councilwoman Nelson's inquiry, Planning/Building/Public
Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman stated that the Earlington 15 grid was
not the same grid that caused some power outages last year.

RENTON
AHEAD OF THE CURVE
CANCELLATION AND REALLOCATION OF 2002 COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT CAPITAL PROJECTS; ALLOCATION OF
UNALLOCATED 2004 CAPITAL FUNDS
PUBLIC HEARING MAY 249 2004
THE SALVATION ARMY RENTON FOOD BANK AND SOCIAL SERVICES
CENTER
The Human Services Advisory Committee and staff recommends the cancellation of
2002 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) capital funds to E1derHealth
Northwest in the amount of $71, 733 and reallocating these funds to The Salvation Army
Renton Food Bank & Social Services Center. The funds will be used for construction.
The criteria for reallocation were projects that were already eligible for CDBG funds and
able to spend the funds in 2004. The Salvation Army Renton Food Bank was the only
Renton project that met those criteria. In 2003, $30,360 in CDBG capital funds was
allocated to the food bank for construction. The environmental review is completed and
the conditional use permit has been granted. Ground breaking is scheduled for mid -
September, 2004.
It is also recommended that the $55,000 allocated to the Food Bank in 2002 for the
purchase of refrigerators and freezer for the amount of $55,000 be canceled, and rolled
into the 2003 allocation. This allows all the funding to be combined into one project
number. A total of $157,093 is now allocated in Renton CDBG capitalfunds to The
Salvation Army Food Bank & Social Services Center. King County has allocated an
additional $101,894 in CDBG Capital funds for this project.
E1derHealth was originally granted the funds to make improvements to a building serving
as an adult day health center on he Valley Medical Center campus. After funding was
approved, the facility experienced on -going maintenance problems and Valley Medical
Center chose not to renew the lease. E1derHealth formally declined the funds in January,
2004.
PARKVIEW HOMES
It is also recommended that ParkView Homes be awarded $15,000 in 2004 unallocated
CDBG Capital funds. This is for the emergency repair of connecting the house at 2509
Edmonds Avenue NE to the sewer. The septic tank is failing. Four deafiblind people
reside at the house and CDBG funds were used to purchase the home. The repair will
reduce on -going maintenance costs.
There is $35,300 remaining in the 2004 unallocated CDBG Capital funds.

SUBJECT: Administrative Report
In addition to our day to -day activities, the following items are worthy of note for this week:
GENERAL
• Renton's Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) was activated yesterday in response to a fire and leak at the
Olympic Pipeline Renton Station. A fire broke out at approximately 8:00 a.m. and Olympic Pipeline Company
immediately began their emergency protocol. Responding units contained the fire and worked in conjunction
with other agencies and Olympic Pipeline to stop the flow of gasoline from the sampler line. An initial leak
was capped at 3:45 p.m., at which time a secondary leak was discovered and capped at 5:35 p.m. A portion of
Lind Avenue was closed for several hours. Agencies are now investigating what caused the leak and resulting
fire. The Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Ecology are monitoring the air and water
quality. The EPA and DOE will manage and monitor the clean-up efforts in conjunction with Olympic
Pipeline. As of today, Monday, May 24th, the pipeline remains closed.
ADMINISTRATIVE, JUDICIAL, AND LEGAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT
• The Association of Washington Cities will present the City of Renton with two Certificates of Achievement,
one for the 2004 Renton Community Calendar and the other for the Veteran's Memorial Park project. These
certificates will be presented during the AWC Annual Conference in June. As part of the 2004 AWC
Municipal Achievement Awards, AWC presents Certificates of Achievement to cities for providing top quality
services and programs. Last year, AWC presented the City of Renton with a Municipal Achievement Award
for the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center.
• In compliance with state law, the City Clerk's office recently saw to the disposal of almost six tons of City
records that had reached their required retention periods, including the disposal of audio and video tapes via a
recycling process that makes them into new products. Forty boxes of records were identified for transfer to the
Regional Archivist as historical records and will be a part of the State Archives' collection in Bellevue,
ensuring the documentation of Renton's history for future generations.
COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
• Orange and blue water slides, standing 26 feet high, are the most eye-catching features of the new Henry
Moses Aquatic Center. A public ceremony on Saturday, June 50', will begin at 11:00 a.m., with the Aquatic
Center opening at 11:30 a.m. The ceremony will feature elected officials, the original Pool Task Force, and
members of the Park Board and Municipal Arts Commission. A steel drum band will entertain the crowd and
the winners of the Name The Slide Contest will be presented certificates prior to taking their inaugural ride on
the water slides.

• Beginning Tuesday, May 25 h, three hazardous trees will be removed from Teasdale Park and two stumps from
trees that fell down during last winter's wind and ice storm will be ground flush to the surrounding soil surface.
The area will be evaluated for new plantings. In Liberty Park four hazardous trees will be removed; two are
located within the children's playground and two are adjacent to Little Liberty ball field. Replacement trees
were planted in 2003 near the playground and two new trees will be planted near the ball field.
PLANNINGBUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
The Regional Transportation Investment District (RTID) Executive Board has decided not to put a package of
regional transportation projects, and tax increases to pay for them, on the November 2004 ballot. We
understand that this decision came about at least in part due to a survey performed by the Funders Group (a
group of businesses who have been assisting the RTID Executive Board). This survey indicated that members
of the public who responded to the survey would not vote to support the package. Therefore, the Funders
Group indicated reluctance to engage in an advertising campaign supporting the package. The Sound Transit
Board also did not vote in support of a joint ballot in which extending light rail would be part of the RTID
package. It is not yet clear what steps will be taken regarding a possible RTID ballot measure in 2005.
On Thursday, May 20th, at 4:10 p.m., Puget Sound Energy experienced an underground power outage on the
Earlington 15 grid in Renton affecting 20 commercial customers in the area around the South Grady
Way/Rainier Avenue intersection. This outage also affected the traffic signal at Grady and Rainier. A bad
underground cable was found to be at fault. Power was restored to most customers by 5:18 p.m. and to all
remaining customers by 6:50 p.m. PSE is conducting further investigations to determine whether additional
follow-up actions are required.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
• The Police Department received a $3,500 grant to focus its efforts on traffic safety issues of speeding, DUI,
aggressive driving, and seat belt use on an overtime reimbursement basis. The statewide emphasis began on
May 10 h and will run through June 7`h. In addition, the department received approval through the Washington
Traffic Safety Commission for the purchase of additional radar equipment. This grant is the result of
significant time and enforcement efforts in Renton around school zones and speeding.
• During the week of May 25-31, the Police Department will be conducting traffic emphasis in the following
areas and, in addition, all school zones during school days:

SUBJECT: Olympic Pipeline Incident
On May 23`d, at 8:00 AM, the Renton Fire Department responded to a report of smoke and
flames coming from a small building on the north side of the Olympic Pipeline facility located at
2317 Lind Ave. SW. Initial arriving units reported a petroleum fire behind a building.
Additional resources were called to protect other pipeline structures and contain the fire. The fire
was allowed to burn while firefighters attempted to stop the flow of flammable liquid from a
petroleum sample line.
The City's Emergency Coordination Center was activated at approximately 12:00 PM at Fire
Station 14.
After the initial leak was stopped at 3:45 PM, a secondary leak was found. This second leak was capped
at 5:35 PM.
• This was a three -alarm fire with a Zone 3 Hazardous Materials Strike Team. Units from
SeaTac, Kent, Tukwila, Federal Way, KC Fire District #40, KC Fire District #20, Boeing
Fire and South King County Medic One responded.
• The State Department of Ecology, Federal Environmental Protection Agency and the
Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission also responded.
• Three (3) firefighters from District #40 suffered minor injuries and were transported to
Harborview Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries and released.
• City of Renton equipment and personnel costs are estimated at this time to be
approximately $50,000.
• Total costs for public agencies responding to this call are estimated to be approximately
$100,000.
Page 2
May 24, 2004
• Over 70 fire personnel were involved in mitigating this incident and providing emergency
coverage for the City of Renton during this pipeline emergency.
Twenty-two (22) City of Renton staff from Public Works, Finance, Administration,
Information Services and Police responded to the Emergency Coordination Center.
Officials from Kent, Olympic Pipeline, EPA, King County and the State Department of
Ecology were also present.
Summary of Current Pipeline Status and City of Renton Involvement
Both the 20-inch and 16-inch pipelines operated by Olympic Pipeline are currently shut down,
and will remain in that condition until necessary repairs are made at the Renton terminal.
Olympic has conducted inspections of the block valves and other equipment between
Maplewood and the terminal. They have determined that there was no damage to equipment
outside of the terminal as a result of the sample line incident. There was, however, damage to a
surge valve on the 20-inch line at the terminal, and the sample piping and associated valves must
be replaced. It is estimated that this work may be completed and the pipeline placed back into
service sometime on May 26, 2004.
The fire department is working as part of Olympic Pipeline's Unified Command, and is involved
in the decision -making process that will ultimately allow the pipeline to be placed back into
operation. Olympic is working on two (2) main issues concurrently; repair and testing of
equipment damaged during the release, and investigation of environmental impacts to soil,
ground water and surface waters surrounding the facility. The fire department will be involved in
the following issues:
• Providing suppression support, as needed, during the repair of the surge valve and sample
piping damaged during the release.
• Conducting off -site air monitoring and suppression during the installation of monitoring
wells and removal of contaminated soils.
• Over -seeing the environmental investigation and remediation activities.
• Working with the Department of Ecology and EPA to ensure that all environmental
cleanup activities are completed and properly documented.
• Renton Fire Investigators are working with Olympic Pipeline's representatives to
determine the cause of this incident.

Dear Madam Mayor and Council members:
The Highlands Community Association Board expresses concern for the safety of
students attending Highlands Elementary School. Automobiles regularly violate the
posted speed limit on NE 7ch Street and Harrington Avenue NE during school hours and
on weekends. The new Harrington Square development will soon place additional traffic
in the area and creative relief would be a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
We request the City of Renton place 25 mph speed humps on NE 7ch and Harrington for
the benefit of students, parents and teachers. We understand the City's reluctance to
initiate certain traffic controls because of other public safety issues. This action could be
taken on a trial basis or as a traffic study area.
A speed hump is a raised area of pavement approximately three inches high and 12 to 22
feet long. The speed hump produces a rocking motion to vehicle wheels and an
uncomfortable sensation for occupants causing them to slow down. The City of
Bellevue's Phase 1 and 2 (neighborhood traffic calming) Program has successfully
established specific guidelines for their use in residential and school areas.
Sincerely,
The Highla ds Co unity Association Board

Speed humps make neighborhoods safer for kids,
study says
06:12 PM PST on Tuesday, March 30, 2004
Associated Press
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Some people find them annoying, but those speed humps that force
motorists to slow down in residential neighborhoods and near schools can significantly cut the risk
of injury or death to children, a study says.
The review found that children who lived on streets near a speed hump were up to 60 percent less
likely to be hit and injured by an automobile than youngsters in areas without them:
The study, released Tuesday, -is -published -in theAprilissue of -the American Journal
-of-Public--------- -
Health.
It -looked at youngsters -under 15 who were-struck-onTesidential-streets-and--taken-t-o=the =
emergency room at Children's Hospital Oakland in California over a five-year period.
"One of the reasons this research is important is that a lot of times there are things that seem
intuitive," said June Tester, a pediatric resident at the hospital and the study's lead author. It
makes sense that speed humps would slow-motorists-down--and-reduce-the- risk of injury to kids,
but it is not something that has been demonstrated or proven; she said.
Motor vehicle -related incidents are the leading cause of death for children age 1 to 15, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The study said Oakland had the highest rate of pedestrian deaths among California cities in 1995'.
That year the city began a safety campaign after a pickup truck plowed into the playground of a
local preschool, killing a 2-year-old and injuring 10 other children.
The effort resulted in some 1,600 speed humps being installed on residential streets by 2000. Tom
Van Demark, the head of the Oakland Pedestrian Safety Project, said there has been a 15 percent
decrease in child pedestrian deaths and injuries in the past few years.
Speed humps in many residential communities nationwide are not quite as high as the speed
bumps one would find in a grocery store parking lot. Van Demark said the humps, usually about 6
inches high, are relatively cheap, costing about $1,000 each.
He said he has heard complaints from some residents who say the humps signify a low -class
neighborhood. "In fact," he said, "they're installed in very nice neighborhoods in Oakland."

Mid -Block Speed Control: Chicanes and. Speed Humps
by John C. Marek and Shauna Walgren
��il ;
SPEED HUMPS
In 1993, the City of Seattle began experimenting with speed humps.. Similar to other
jurisdictions, Seattle tested 2 types of humps, the Seminole and Watts style humps.
The Seminole humps have six foot long ramps rising to a ten foot long, three inch high,
level center. The Watts humps are12 feet long with a three inch rise in the center..
Both styles of humps extend the width of the roadway and taper for drainage at the
curbs or street edge
Seattle has installed a series of speed humps at eight locations. This section will
present information on the following four case studies:
• Fremont Avenue N between N 105th Street and N 112 Street
• First Avenue NE between NE 85th Street and NE 92"d Street
• 18tt' Avenue SW between SW Myrtle Street and SW Dawson Street
• 21St Avenue SW between SW Myrtle Street and SW Dawson Street
Fremont Avenue N
In February of 1993, four Watts speed humps were installed on Fremont Ave. N. The
installation was part of a test conducted by the City to determine the effectiveness of
speed humps. The location was chosen because of excessive speeds and cut -through
traffic. In addition, the intersections along this route were not typical four-way
intersections where traffic circles could be installed. The humps were installed 326 feet
to 553 feet apart on this level, 22.6 foot wide asphalt street. Each hump was marked
with chevron striping and an advanced warning sign. Posts were installed on the
shoulder at those locations where motorist might attempt to drive around the hump.
First Avenue N
In conjunction \Mth the installation of speed humps on Fremont Ave. N, First Ave. N was
also selected to participate in the City's testing of speed humps. Similar to Fremont
Ave. N, the community was. concerned with excessive speeds and cut -through traffic.
In February of 1993, four Seminole speed humps were installed on this level, 23.3 foot
wide street. The humps were spaced 371 feet to 482 feet apart.
18th Avenue SW
As part of an operational plan for the neighborhood, .the City of Seattle considered
installing traffic control devices on 18th Ave. SW between SW .Myrtle St. and SW
Dawson St. This 19.7 foot wide asphalt street was experiencing cut -through traffic as
motorists used the street to bypass a nearby parallel arterial. Because of the relatively
few number of intersections on this route; speeds were high and traffic circles were
eliminated as an option. In 1994, ten Watts humps were installed 330 feet to 973 feet
apart.
21st Avenue SW
In conjunction with the speed humps installed on 18th Ave. SW, speed humps were also
installed on 21 st Ave. Similar to 18th Ave. SW, the community was concerned with
excessive speeds and cut -through traffic from motorists bypassing the nearby arterial.
In 1994, 12 speed humps were installed on this street. Ten of these were the Watts
style and two were the Seminole style. The humps were spaced 371 feet to 482 feet.
apart on this level, 23.3 foot wide street.
SUMMARY OF SPEED HUMP RESULTS
Table 4 illustrates the results of before and after speed studies taken between speed
humps. The table illustrates that reduction in speeds between humps is similar for the
Seminole and Watts humps. The Seminole humps on 1st Ave. NE reduced the 85tn
Percentile speeds by 2 to 6 mph. Similarly, the Watts humps produced a consistant
decrease in speeds of 4 to 7 mph.

Table 5 shows the speed at which motorists travel over the speed humps. This table
shows that the Watts style speed humps, installed on Fremont Ave. N, appear to be
more effective at reducing speeds at the hump. The Watts humps decreased speeds
at the hump by 11 mph compared to the Seminole humps speed reduction of 9 mph.

VOLUMES
Traffic volume studies were conducted before and after speed hump installation. The
results of the changes in the AWDT are shown on Table 6. These results indicate that
volumes were significantly reduced at two locations, Fremont Ave. N and 21st Ave. SW.
Watts humps were installed at both of these locations. The reduction in volume on
Fremont Ave. N may have been caused by the relatively easy alternative arterial routes.
The Seminole humps installed on First Ave. NE appear to have had little effect on
volumes. Because these locations did not appear to have alternative non -arterial
routes, any traffic diverted was assumed to have moved to the arterial routes.

5. Chapter 9 Procedures and Review Criteria
F. APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
1. Land Use Element — Residential Single Family
2. Housing Element
G. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1. Protect Description/Background
The applicant, Sierra Homes, proposes to subdivide a 0.26-acre (11,225 square feet) parcel into two lots. The
property currently contains a 1,299 square foot single family residence which will remain on new Lot A (for
consistency staff will rename this as Lot 1 and Lot B will be Lot 2).
Lot sizes proposed are: Lot 1 at 5,238 square feet and Lot 2 at 5,987 square feet. The proposal for eventual
development of one new single family residence and the remaining residence on the two lots would arrive at a
density of 7.76 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac). The allowed density range in the R-8 zone is a minimum of
5.0 to a maximum of 9.7 dwelling units per acre for lots one-half an acre or less in net size.
Both lots would gain access directly to NE 5th Place. Each lot would have a separate driveway.
The topography of the subject site is basically flat except for the northeast corner of the site which slopes up to
29.0% and is supported by a concrete wall and is beyond the building pad for the new residence. The north and
east perimeters are vegetated with trees of which seven trees would be removed for proposed construction.
2. Environmental Review
Except when located on lands covered by water or sensitive areas, short plats are exempt from SEPA
Environmental Review pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(6)(a).
3. Compliance with ERC Conditions
N/A
4. Staff Review Comments
Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address
issues raised by the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the essence
of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the Departmental
Recommendation at the end of the report.
5. Consistency Short Plat Criteria
Approval of a plat is based upon several factors. The following short plat criteria have been established to
assist decision -makers in the review of the plat:
a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Designation
The site is designated Residential Single Family (RSF) on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Map. The RSF designation is intended to promote and enhance single family neighborhoods. The
proposal is consistent with the RSF designation in that it would allow for the future construction of
new single family homes, thereby promoting goals of infill development. The proposal is consistent
with the following Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Housing Element policies:
Policy LU-34. Net development densities should fall within a range of 5 to 8 dwelling units per acre
in Residential Single Family neighborhoods. The proposed project for two lots would arrive at a net
density of 7.76 dwelling units per net acre which is within the allowable range for parcels smaller
than one half acre which permits density up to 9.7 dwelling units per acre.
Policy LU-35. A minimum lot size of 4,500 square feet should be allowed in single family
residential neighborhoods except when flexible development standards are used for project review.
Both lots exceed the minimum lot size of which the smaller lot is 5,238 square feet.
Policy LU-36. Allow development at 9.7 dwelling units per acre on infill parcels of one acre or less
as an incentive to encourage single family small lot development on 4,500 sq. ft. lots. The
shplrpt_Sierra. doc
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED January 15, 2004; PROJECT LUA-03-111, SHPL-A Page 4
proposed short plat would be located on a site that is less than one-half acre and would have a
density of 7.76 dwelling units per acre.
Policy H-4. Encourage infill development as a means to increase capacity. The proposal would
create one additional lot, thereby slightly increasing density within a currently developed residential
area.
b) Compliance with the Underlying Zoning Designation
The subject site is designated Residential — 8 Dwelling Units per Acre (R-8) on the City of Renton
Zoning Map. The proposed development would allow for the future construction of one new single
family dwelling unit.
The allowed density range in the R-8 zone is a minimum of 5.0 to a maximum of 9.7 dwelling units
per acre for lots one-half an acre or less in net size. Net density is calculated after the deduction of
sensitive areas, areas intended for public right-of-way and private easements serving three lots or
more from the gross acreage of the site. The property does not contain any sensitive areas nor .
areas required for right-of-way dedication. Based on two lots, net density would arrive at 7.76
dwelling units per acre, which is within the allowed range for parcels less than one-half acre.
The allowed building lot coverage in the R-8 zone is 35 percent or 2,500 square feet whichever is
greater for lots over 5,000 square feet in size and lots 5,000 square feet or less are allowed a.
maximum of 50% lot coverage. New Lot 1 where the existing single family residence would remain
has a lot coverage of 24.8 percent which complies with the development standard.
Setbacks in the R-8 zone are as follows: front yard is 20 feet, side yard is 5 feet, side yard along a
street is 15 feet and the rear yard is 20 feet. Based on the proposed subdivision, new Lot 1 would
maintain its front yard facing toward NE 5ch Place. Although, no setbacks were shown on the
submitted drawings, it appears that new Lot 2 would meet all required yard setbacks and provides
adequate buildable area. The front yard setback of new Lot 2 would face NE 5th PL and be 20 feet
and the side yard along a street would face Index PL NE and be 15 feet. Compliance with these
standards will be verified at the time of building permit submittal and review.
Each lot would have adequate area to provide two off-street parking spaces as required by the
parking regulations.
The R-8 zone permits accessory structures only when associated with a primary structure located
on the same parcel. The outbuildings that currently exist on the site would remain on new Lot 1
associated with the existing house.
c) Compliance with Subdivision Regulations
Streets: No new public streets would be created as part of the proposed short plat.
NE 5th Place and Index PL NE are required to be fully improved. There are some improvements on
NE 51h Place. The Subdivision Regulations require the installation of street improvements, including
curb, gutter, and sidewalk, along the site's street frontages (RMC section 4-6-060), unless
previously installed, waived or deferred through the City of Renton Board of Public Works. The
applicant has not yet requested a waiver or deferral.
The proposed short plat is anticipated to generate additional traffic on the City's street system. In
order to mitigate transportation impacts, staff recommends a condition of approval be placed on
the project requiring a Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per net new average daily
trip attributed to the project. The one new lot (credit given for the existing residence) is expected to
generate approximately 9.57 new average weekday trips per lot. The fee for the proposed short
plat is estimated at $717.75 ($75.00 x 9.57 trips x 1 lot = $717.75) and is payable prior to the
recording of the short plat.
Blocks: No new blocks will be created as part of the proposed short plat.
Lots: The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone is 4,500 square feet. The proposed plat
would create two lots, which are proposed as: Lot 1 at 5,238 square feet and Lot 2 at 5,987 square
feet. The proposed lot sizes are compatible'with other existing lots in this area under the same R-8
zoning classification.
shplrpt Sierra.doc
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED January 15, 2004; PROJECT LUA-03-111, SHPL-A Page 5
The proposed lots also comply with the R-8 requirements for minimum lot width (50 feet for interior
lots and 60 feet for corner lots). The minimum lot depth of 65 feet is achieved by the two lots and
thus complies with these development standards. The new lot appears to have adequate building
area for the construction of a single-family residence when taking setbacks and lot coverage
requirements into consideration.
The size, orientation and arrangement of the proposed lots comply with the requirements of the
Subdivision Regulations and the development standards of the R-8 zone.
d) Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries
Access: Each lot would have direct access to a public right-of-way (NE 5th Place). The existing
house to remain on new Lot 1 has a gravel surfaced driveway. New Lot 2 would have a separate
driveway accessed via NE 5th Place.
The site has two street frontages, NE 5th PL (some improvements) and Index PL NE which are to
be improved with curb, gutter and sidewalk, unless deferred or waived by the Board of Public
Works. For more information, see discussion within section on Streets under "Compliance with
Subdivision Regulations" above.
Topography: The topography of the site is nearly flat except for the northeast corner of the site
which has slopes up to 29.0% with a vertical rise of approximately 6 feet. This area is supported by
a concrete wall and is beyond the building pad for the new residence on new Lot 2. The north and
east perimeters of the site are vegetated with mature,trees of which seven trees would be removed
for proposed construction.
Due to the potential impacts of erosion and sedimentation form project construction, staff
recommends the following erosion control measures as conditions of project approval:
1. Prior to any construction activities on the site, Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation
Control (TESC) shall be installed and maintained according to the standards set -forth in the
Department of Ecology Erosion Control Standards.
2. The applicant shall install a silt fence along the down slope perimeter of the area that is to
be disturbed. The silt fence shall be in place before clearing and grading is initiated, and shall
be constructed in conformance with the specifications presented in of the King County Surface
Water Design Manual. This will be required during the construction of both off -site and on -site
improvements as well as building construction.
Relationship to Existing Uses: The properties surrounding the subject site are designated
Residential — 8 Dwelling Units Per Acre (R-8) and Residential —10 Dwelling Units per Acre (R-10)
on the City's zoning map. The proposal is similar to existing development patterns in the area and
is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code, which encourage residential i nfill
development.
e) Availability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness)
Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicate that sufficient resources exist to furnish
services to the proposed development, subject to the condition that the applicant provide Code
required improvements and fees. A Fire Mitigation Fee, based on $488.00 per new single family lot
with credit given for the existing single family residence, is recommended in order to mitigate the
proposal's potential impacts to City emergency services. The fee is estimated at $488.00 ($488.00
x 1 new unit = $488,00) and is payable prior to the recording of the short plat.
Recreation: The proposal does not provide on -site recreation areas for future residents of the
proposed short plat. The project would contribute to the demand for future new recreational
facilities. This fee would go towards creating recreational facilities that may be utilized by future
residents. Therefore, staff recommends that a Parks Mitigation Fee be required. A Parks Mitigation
Fee of $530.76 per new single family lot is recommended prior to the recording of the short plat.
Credit w ould b e g iven f or t he e xisting s ingle family residence. The fee is estimated at $530.76
($530.76 x 1 new lot = $530.76) and is payable prior to the recording of the short plat.
Schools: According to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Renton Land Use
Element (January 16, 1992), the City of Renton has a student generation factor of 0.44 students
per single family residential dwelling. Based on the student generation factor, the proposed short
shplrpt Sierra.doc
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED January 15, 2004; PROJECT LUA-03-111, SHPL-A Page 6
plat would not even result in one additional student (0.44 X 1 = 0.44) to the local schools
(Highlands Elementary, McKnight Middle School and Renton High School). However, it is
anticipated that the Renton School District can accommodate any additional students generated by
this proposal.
Storm Water. There are storm drainage improvements fronting the site on NE 5'h Place. A storm
and surface water drainage plan and report per the 1990 King County Surface Water Design
Manual (KCSWDM) is required. A Level 1 downstream analysis was submitted and appears to
cover the core requirements of the KCSWDM.
The System Development Charge will be at the current rate of $715.00 per new single family
residence. Current charges would be for one lot x $715.00 per lot = $715.00 and is payable prior to
the issuance of the utility construction permit.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities:
Water service stub(s) are required to be provided to each building lot prior to recording of the short
plat. A system development charge of $1,525.00 per single family lot is required and payable at the
time of issuance of a utility construction permit.
An eight inch (8") sewer main exists within NE 5th Place. Dual side sewers are not allowed. The
new lot must be served with an individual side sewer. Sewer stub -outs must be installed prior to
the recording of the short plat. A System Development Charge of $900.00 per each new lot is
required. This fee is payable at the time of issuance of a utility construction permit. The parcel is
also located within the East Renton Interceptor SAD which requires fees be paid per lot.
H. Findings:
Having reviewed the written record in the matter, the City now enters the following:
1. Request: The applicant has requested Administrative Short Plat Approval for the Sierra Homes Short
Plat, File No. LUA-03-111, SHPL-A.

7. Setbacks: The setbacks for future development on the proposed lots would be evaluated based on
the standards applicable to lots along streets existing as of March 1, 1995. The front yard setback of
new Lot 2 would face NE 5th PL and be 20 feet and the side yard along a street would face Index PL
NE and be 15 feet.

facilities. A draft of the document shall be submitted to the City of Renton Development
Services Division for review and approval by the City Attorney prior to the recording of the
final plat.
The maintenance agreement shown on the face of the plat has been reviewed and
approved by the City Attorney.
3. The applicant shall achieve an agreement with the eastern neighbor to assure that any grade
transition for the new road is safe and stable.
Both project applicants have complied with this item.
4. The City, applicant and eastern neighbor shall work to achieve appropriate alignment and
location for utilities so that they may be used by the lot east of the subject site.
City staff, both applicants and the engineer have all worked together to achieve
alignment on both projects.
The Final Plat generally appears to satisfy the conditions imposed by the preliminary plat process and
therefore should be approved by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council should approve the Final Plat with the following conditions:
1) All plat improvements shall be either constructed or deferred to the satisfaction of City staff prior
to the recording of the plat.
2) All fees shall be paid prior to the recording of the plat.

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 project is located north of NE
20"' Street and west of Aberdeen Avenue NE. There are four separate tax parcels with four separate property
owners, Timothy Chamberlin, Vivian Weigel, Charles & Lenora Gibson, and Michael & Jeanni Blonski.
The applicant has requested an Environmental Review and Preliminary Plat Approval for a 37-lot subdivision of
a 6.38-acre site within the Residential — 8 (R-8) zoning designation. Access to the site is proposed via NE 20'h
Street. From NE 20°i Street applicant proposes a 42-foot public right-of-way that travels north and then "T's"
out and terminates in two cul-de-sacs. The majority of the lots in the plat would gain access off of the new
right-of-way, Road A, which has not been named yet. Proposed Lot 25 would gain its access from NE 20"'
Street.
The site also contains a small portion of a Category 2 Wetland Buffer, located near the southwestern corner of
the property. The edge of the wetland is located off -site and requires a 50-foot buffer. The buffer does extend
into lots 2 and 3 of the proposed plat. The applicant is requesting to do buffer averaging so that they can
accommodate the full building pads for proposed lots 2 and 3. Lots 2 and 3 will have a rear yard, the lots are 60
x 126 feet.
The Environmental Review Committee (ERC) has issued a Determination of Non -Significance — Mitigated
(DNS-M) for the project. The DNS-M included 6 mitigation measures. No appeals were filed. Two of the
measures were for erosion control, one for the wetland fence and signage, and the three standard Parks, Fire and
Traffic mitigation fees.
The subject site is designated Residential Single Family (RSF) on the City's Comprehensive Land Use Map.
The RSF designation is intended to promote and enhance single-family neighborhoods. The proposal is
consistent with the RSF designation in that is would allow for future construction of new single-family homes
thereby promoting the goals of infill development.
The net development would be 7.06 dwelling units per acre, which is within the five to eight range required in
the zone. The proposal is for 37 lots therefore, it would create 32 new additional lots within the City. There is
an existing residence straddling lots I and 2, another existing residence on lot 3, an existing residence and
garage on lots 26 and 27, and the existing residence on lot 25 is proposed to remain.
All proposed lots are within the size range prescribed within the R-8 zone and exceed all width and depth
requirements. It also meets all front, side and rear yard setback requirements. Because there are existing
residences that are proposed to be removed but do not meet the setback requirements staff is recommending as a
condition of preliminary plat approval that the applicant be required to have all the structures located within the
project boundaries, not on lot 25, removed prior to final plat approval.
Building standards in the R-8 zone permit one single-family residential structure on each lot and one accessory
building of 1000 square feet or two accessory buildings of 720 square feet each. The applicant is not proposing
any construction at this time and the development standards will be reviewed at.the time of building permit.
Building height in the R-8 zone is limited to two stories and 30 feet for primary structures and 15 feet for
detached structures.
The Examiner inquired regarding Lot 25 and the large size, that it could be subdivided at some time and where
would the access to those additional lots come from? Mr. Jordan stated that the property owner was very
specific in his desires to keep a large parcel for himself. The 15-foot easement would not be wide enough and
Heritage Glen Preliminary Plat
File No.: LUA-03-044, PP, ECF
April 15, 2004
Page 3
so some access would have to be taken off the cul-de-sac through an easement on neighboring property if they
were ever to subdivide.
Staff recommends the establishment of a homeowner's association or maintenance agreement for any private
streets as a condition of approval. Staff also recommends a project condition requiring the applicant to install
private road signs at the entrances of the private drives so emergency vehicles know what addresses are being
served by the private drive.
The proposed subdivision is expected to generate additional traffic, most of the lots would have direct access off
of the new "Street A". Proposed lots 1 through 4 would take access off a private drive that would connect to the
new roadway. Lots 19, 20 and 21 would take access to the new roadway at the cul-de-sac via a pipestem over
Lot 19. Lot 25 will access directly onto NE 20`' Street. Lot 26 will take access via a private drive over Lot 27
through the cul-de-sac. The applicant will be required to provide curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements along
the subject site's property frontage. Street lighting will be required along new "Street A" and adjacent to NE
20`h Street. Staff recommends the establishment of a Homeowners Association or Maintenance Agreement for
all private streets or drives within the plat. As part of the environmental review for this project the ERC
required park, fire and traffic mitigation fees.
The topography of the site is characterized by having little slope. The applicant did submit a geotechnical report
which concluded that the property was suitable for the proposed development. The majority of the existing
vegetation on the property would be cleared in order to locate the proposed utilities, construction, roadways and
prepare the site for residential building pads.
For erosion control the property is subject to the 2001 DOE manual and for stormwater the project is subject to
the 1990 King County manual.
Police and fire prevention staff have indicated that resources exist to furnish services to the development subject
to the applicant paying the code required improvements and the SEPA mitigation fees. Credit was given for the
four existing residences.
The proposal does not provide on -site recreation, therefore, the City's ERC required the applicant pay a parks
mitigation fee, with credit given for the existing four residences.
The Renton School District has also indicated that they have sufficient resources to accommodate the new
students generated by this proposal.
Stormwater is subject to the 1990 King County Manual, the project would be required to provide water quality
and detention. As such, the applicant has proposed over Lots 1 and 2 a water quality detention vault to
accommodate the stonnwater runoff generated from the proposal. Staff is recommending a condition of
preliminary plat approval requiring the applicant to provide the City with an easement to that detention facility.
There is an existing six-inch water main in NE 201' Street and an eight -inch water main in Aberdeen that would
serve the site. The applicant is required to provide and construct an eight -inch loop water main system off NE
20`h to serve the lots and pay the water system development fees. There is an eight -inch sewer main fronting the
property on NE 20°i Street that will be sufficient to serve the plat along with the sewer system development
charge.

Staff recommends approval of the Heritage Glen Preliminary Plat subject to conditions.
Sara Slatten, Camwest Development, 9720 NE 120"' Place, Suite 100, Kirkland, WA 98034. A copy of her
presentation was entered as Exhibit 8. It was pointed out that they have read through the DNS and the staff
report do not have any objections, at this time, to the conditions that are set forth. There is one clarification with
respect to the staff report, on Sheet C 5.0, in the clearing plan, on Lot 25, the large lot to the southeast, on the
north third is a clearing limit line which is labeled incorrectly. That clearing limit line should actually be located
just north along the joint property line to Lot 23.
Regarding the access agreements, in those situations where there is a private access or utility, which benefits
two to four lots, typically prior to final plat an access and maintenance agreement is drafted and recorded against
the specific lots involved. Additionally, that is made a part of the plat condition which serves as two notices for
future property owners.
Ms. Slatten then proceeded to give a brief overview of the type of homes, streets, sidewalks and landscaping that
are expected to be built on this site.
The Examiner noted for the record that it is usually for site plans that specific profiles are discussed, anything
presented today is not binding on Camwest or the City. Neighbors who may be interested in the project should
know that whatever you show is truly illustrative and does not guarantee anything.
Opposition to proposal:
Christian Denzler, 1800 NE 20"' Street, Renton 98056. His residence is the lowest residence closest to the
Kennydale Creek level. The retention pond in Lots I and 2, with a 400-foot drainage pipe along 20"' Street that
dumps into Kennydale Creek. There is a portion of a Category 2 wetlands by that and so the stream gets
obstructed which regulates stormwater events further downstream, but can back it up further upstream. There
are a number of existing cross drains that run from his yard to the stream. He has a concern that the detention
pond will not slow anything down, but will seriously impact his lot and everyone else downstream as well.
Loralee Gordlev, 2010 Jones Avenue NE, Renton 98056. She is a neighbor on the Kennydale Creek which runs
through her property. Where the water is going to be entering the Creek is the border of her property. Any
excessive rains cause flooding throughout the area. Any additional water into this Creek from the detention
pond will raise it further. When the sewer line was recently installed through her property, it seems that they
could also pipe a sewer drainage through that utility easement out downstream where it is not flooding the
property.
Deana Naibert, 2111 Aberdeen Place NE, Renton 98056 stated that she was concerned over the extensive tree
cutting proposed. The trees that are proposed to be cut help eliminate noise and air pollution to her property.
With the clear cut that is proposed will cause the existing property values to be negatively effected. In the
development where she lives, there are only approximately 7 evergreen trees, not every home has a tree in their
yard. She would like to propose that some of the existing trees be left, a certain percentage or that perhaps
evergreen trees could be planted in the new development.
Rick Gordlev, 2010 Jones Avenue NE, Renton 98056 added that the water runoff into the wetland area will be
completely taken away if all the stormwater is running into the Creek, if that happens will that still remain a
wetland? The wetland could actually be transferred from its current location to an area that never gets any
water. Most of the water and wetland is on the east side of the Creek area, that is the downhill slope from the
hillside. If that is done, his entire backyard will be under water and probably flood the neighbor's house as well.

Dennis Archer, 12805 SE 186"' Place, Renton 98058, representing his father, Delbert O. Archer who resides at
2127 Aberdeen Avenue NE, Renton. A concern of his is about an easement along his father's property line. It
appears that there is going to be a water line put through that, and the concern is what will happen to any
stormwater runoff that might occur as a result of that. That easement has slowly built up over the years through
maintenance causing stormwater runoff to flow onto the property at 2127. It is a concern about the construction
techniques that will occur at the time the water work is done there.
Kayren Kittrick, Development Services asked Mr. Archer if when he talks about stormwater, is it erosion
control or runoff after the line is built? Mr. Archer stated that the concern was for runoff after the line is built.
Property Services requires language that covers enforcement capabilities about maintenance and clearly
identifies who is responsible. It is usually an undivided interest between properties that are fronting and using it.
For example, Lots 19, 20 and 21.
The 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual, which is the standard that the City uses, requires that
there be no additional flow off of this site. This is required to have both water quality and detention, so that is a
study that is looked at very carefully and very closely. It also requires that the water not be diverted from where
it currently flows. Kennydale Creek is where the water is going now and any water in the future must go there,
which also helps to recharge the wetlands. The King County Surface Water Design Manual requires that you
not flood wetlands. There are severe limitations on design both on what roofs can drain and how yard drains
may go. All of the properties that border the wetland, it can be required that the roof drains go into infiltration
pits, so that it does recharge the wetlands. The 1990 standards allow that, that is part of what can be included
with our design review. Rooflines are considered clean water as well as what would be in the backyards.
The new sewer lines that are being referred to was done not to support new development, but to support old
development that has been there for some time. They are not intended to carry storm water.
There is a neighborhood grant program that the City is more than happy to help neighborhoods get trees planted.
This is done in exchange for neighbor handwork. The City does not have requirements for street trees, but
people can put them in if they so choose.
A waterline is going to be installed underground in the NE corner of this site. The easement would be restored
to existing or better condition. Emergency access will have to be provided at all times to the property.
Sara Slatten, in regard to the buffer averaging, if there is issue with the way that it is configured, Camwest is
willing to work with the City on that matter.
The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and
no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 10:16 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The applicant, Sara Slatten, for Camwest Development, filed a request for approval of a 37-lot
Preliminary Plat.
Heritage Glen Preliminary Plat
File No.: LUA-03-044, PP, ECF
April 15, 2004
Page 6
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 41.
The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official, issued a Declaration of
Non -Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M) for the subject proposal.
4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
The subject site is located north of NE 20th Street at 1832 to 2008 NE 20th Street. The subject site
consists of four underlying lots. Each of those lots contain a single family home. One home would be
retained on what is Proposed Lot 25 while the other three homes would be removed. The property is
located between Jones Avenue NE on the west and Aberdeen Avenue NE on the east. The site is
directly north of Monterey Avenue NE, which now ends at NE 20th Street.
A Category 2 wetland is located west of the subject site and a portion of its 50 foot required buffer
extends onto the subject site.
The subject site is approximately 6.38 acres or 277,725 square feet in area. The parcel is irregular in
shape. It is approximately 600 feet wide (east to west) and 500 feet deep.
The subject site has gentle slopes of approximately three percent and varies from elevations of
approximately 260 feet to 280 feet. The underlying four lots have mainly lawn grass, Fir trees and some
deciduous trees.
9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 1827 enacted in May 1960.
10. The subject site is currently zoned R-8 (Single Family - 8 dwelling units/acre).
1 i. 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 uses.
12. The applicant proposes dividing the subject site into 37 lots for the development of detached single-
family uses. The lots would more or less be arrayed around a T-shaped cul-de-sac street system.
Access to the site would be from a separate T-intersection with NE 20th Street.
13. Proposed Lots 1-4 in the southwest corner and Proposed Lots 19-21 in the northeast corner would be
served by 26-foot wide private easements. Proposed Lot 25, the lot with the existing home, would
continue to gain access directly to NE 20th via a pipestem. Pipestems would also serve Proposed Lots 8
and 11. Finally, Proposed Lot 26 would gain access via an easement across Proposed Lot 27. The
remaining lots would gain access via a new 42-foot wide public street. In addition, an access easement
runs from Aberdeen Avenue NE into and across the northeast corner of the subject site providing access
to a lot north of the subject site.
14. The division of the 6.38 acres into 37 lots yields a density of 7.06 units per acre after subtracting
roadways.
15. Stormwater would be handled by a detention system constructed in the southwest corner of the site
under the access road serving Proposed Lots 1-4.
16. The applicant proposes using buffer averaging to permit development along the edge of the wetland
Heritage Glen Preliminary Plat
File No.: LUA-03-044, PP, LCF
April 15, 2004
Page 7
buffer in the southwest corner of the subject site. The design of this area is rectangular without any
attempt at creating a natural wetland buffer edge.
17. Neighbors expressed concern regarding storm water problems in the area. There have been flooding
problems. Staff noted that the 1990 King County Design Manual requirements are intended to avoid
such problems in the future. There should be no additional flow off -site after development. The
standards require both water quality and detention controls and require that stormwater be discharged to
its natural outfall location. The standards should also avoid flooding the wetlands but allow recharge.
18. The City does not prevent the clearing of property that is going to be developed although there may be
other regulations and state standards regarding tree removal. There are regulations regarding clearing or
removal of trees where no other development is proposed and vegetation is protected in various defined
sensitive areas. It is difficult to retain trees on what are relatively small parcels when building pads,
driveways and roads need to be carved through a parcel.
19. The development would generate approximately fifteen school age children who would attend the
Renton School District. The students would be spread across the grades and be assigned on a space
available basis.
20. Utilities will be provided by the City.
21. The residence or a portion of it on the property south of Proposed Lot 26 appears to encroach onto the
subject site. Boundaries may have to be adjusted to accommodate this situation.
CONCLUSIONS:
The proposed plat appears to serve the public use and interest. The division will provide additional lots
in the R-8 zone, that is there will be approximately 33 additional lots available for future residents in an
area with appropriate utilities and reasonably accessible to employment opportunities. The regrettable
consequence of denser development patterns and increased unit density is that most trees are removed
from level sites unencumbered by sensitive areas.
2. The applicant will be containing and releasing stormwater according to more modern standards. The
development of the subject site should not have an adverse impact on stormwater flows in the area
although the development might not solve existing problems. The applicant shall provide some
mechanism to allow wetland recharge.
The increased population will bring with it additional traffic and general noise. These impacts were
anticipated when the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning were adopted for this area and site.
4. The redevelopment of the property will increase the tax base of the City and help offset some of the
impacts. The mitigation fees required by the ERC should help with the development of fire and park
services as well as transportation corridor improvements.
The proposed density of 7.06 dwelling units per acre meets the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan.
The lots, even those around the two cul-de-sac roads, are reasonably rectangular.
The applicant indicated that the rather rigid rectangular margins proposed where buffer averaging has
been proposed could be softened. The plat will be conditioned on altering the lines subject to approval
of Community Services.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
RMC 1-3-3.F.5 defines the crime of Interference as the crime of making a false or misleading statement
pursuant to RCW 9A.76.175, OR intimidating a public servant pursuant to RCW 9A.76.180. However,
the latter crime is no longer adopted in RMC 6-10. Therefore, it should be removed from
RMC 1-3-3.F.5. There are other criminal statutes under which actions that constitute intimidation may
be prosecuted.
Further, the crime of making a false or misleading material statement to a city employee acting in his or
her official capacity should be redefined to more exactly match the state statute, and should therefore be
renamed "False or Misleading Statement" instead of "Interference."
The definition of "city employee" and "material statement" should also be added to RMC 1-3-4.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt ordinance that clarifies the crime of "Making a False or
Misleading Statement" and removes the reference to the crime of "Interference" in RMC 1-3-3.F.5,
and that adds two definitions to RMC 1-3-4.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Wastewater Utility has completed construction of the East Kennydale Sanitary Sewer Infill
Phase II project. At the regular Council Meeting of July 21, 2003, Council approved the
preliminary Special Assessment District. The final costs and assessments have been determined
and the property owners will be notified, as directed by City Ordinance #4444 (draft copy of
notice attached). There is a potential for 143 single-family units within the Special Assessment
District.
The per -unit assessment for the district is $5,208.87. Thirty days after final approval of the
ordinance, interest will accrue on the assessments at a rate of 5.93 % for a period of ten years
(per City Ordinance #4505).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is the recommendation of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department that final approval is
given for the East Kennydale Sanitary Sewer Infill Phase II Special Assessment District No. 0025
and that the ordinance regarding this matter is presented for first reading.

VIA: -Id Mayor Kathy Keolker- heeler
FROM: Gregg Zimmermar ministrator
Planning/Building/Public Works Department
STAFF CONTACT: John Hobson, X-7279
SUBJECT: Establishment of the East Kennydale Sanitary Sewer Infill
Phase II Special Assessment District No. 0025
ISSUE:
The East Kennydale Sanitary Sewer Infill Phase II project construction is complete and the
final costs have been determined. In order to ensure that the cost of this project is equitably
distributed to those who benefit, a Special Assessment District is needed.
RECOMMENDATION:
• It is the recommendation of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department that final
approval is given for the East Kennydale Sanitary Sewer Infill Phase II Special
Assessment District No. 0025 and that the ordinance regarding this matter is presented for
first reading.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The East Kennydale Sanitary Sewer Infill Phase II project will provide sanitary sewer service
to properties adjacent to eight streets (see attached map):
Edmonds Ave NE: From NE 20`h St to NE 23`d St.
NE 20`h St: From Edmonds Ave NE to Glenwood Ave NE.
Glenwood Ave NE: From NE 20' St to the north end of the 2000 block of Glenwood Ave
NE.
May 13, 2004
Page 2
NE 22°1 St: From Edmonds Ave NE to the east end of the 2700 block of NE 22nd
St.
NE 2311 St: From Edmonds Ave NE to Harrington PI NE.
Harrington PI NE: From NE 23rd St to NE 21't St.
NE 21s` St: From Harrington PI NE to the east end of the 2900 block of NE 21"
St.
NE 251h St: From Edmonds Ave NE to the west end of the 2400 block of NE 25`h
St.
Previously these streets did not have sewer service available. These facilities are local
service facilities and, as such, will only benefit the properties directly adjacent to the new
mains. Because the only benefiting parcels are those that front the facilities, we recommend
a direct benefit charge only. For these areas we chose to calculate the benefited area utilizing
a per -connection method. This method takes the size of the lot and anticipates how many
single-family residences could be constructed in accordance with the City's proposed zoning
for the area.
The estimated cost of the proposed sewer was $801,097.66. The original special assessment
area had a potential of developing into 146 single-family lots. Therefore, the estimated
assessment, based upon our preliminary cost estimate, was $5,486.97 per connection.
The final cost for the new sewer is $744,868.14. The City was unable to obtain an easement
to install a new sewer main in a private road on the west side of 2500 block of Edmonds Ave
NE. Therefore, the three lots located at the end of this private road, which were in the
original assessment district boundary, will be removed from the final assessment district.
This leaves a potential of 143 single-family lots that can potentially be developed within the
assessment district. This equates to a per -connection charge of $5,208.87 for the 143
potential single-family lots in the assessment district.
CONCLUSION:
It has been the policy of the City that when sanitary sewer facilities have been installed that
the City hold a Special Assessment District in order to ensure that each property that benefits
from the new facility pays their fair share of the costs. This policy helps to ensure that the
existing ratepayers do not pay a disproportionate share of the costs for these City -installed
facilities. Therefore, we recommend that Council approve staff's recommendation for
establishment of the East Kennydale Sanitary Sewer Infill Phase II Special Assessment
District No. 0025.

PER UNIT ASSESSMENT
$5,208.87
On August 12, 2003, I, Bonnie I. Walton, the City Clerk of Renton, Washington, mailed you a notice
of potential assessment for sanitary sewer improvements associated with the East Kennydale Sanitary
Sewer Infill Phase II Project. We have now completed construction of these sewer facilities. The
facilities, as shown on the attached map, are eligible for cost recovery under City Special Assessment
District Ordinance No. 4444.
For those properties that could receive benefit directly by the sewers, future use would trigger
payment of a Tair share' cost of the sewer. This assessment is calculated, as a unit charge, by dividing
the cost of the conveyance portion of the sewers by the number of units projected for the basin served
by these sewers. This rate has been established at $5,208.87 per unit.
The purpose of the assessment district is to allow the City the ability to collect the costs of the
construction of the sewer facilities from all those who benefit from its construction. To accomplish
this, we are required to record an ordinance which will serve as a notice of potential assessment. This
ordinance will establish a boundary that includes any parcel that may benefit in the future. It is our
goal to ensure, in fairness to all, that any property owner that connects at a later date pays their share
just like those who will connect right away. The benefit area is defined as the ultimate service area
that the facility may be able to serve. This boundary is shown on the attached map.
You will only be required to pay this assessment when the property gains benefit from these
sewer facilities. Until that time, the property can be sold or change hands without triggering
the assessment. Benefit from these sewer facilities can be described as follows:
A property not currently connected to a City sewer facility (i.e., currently utilizing an on -site
system or a vacant parcel), that connects to the sewer system associated with this district will
trigger the assessment. Until then, the assessment will not be triggered.
For those properties that are already connected to City sewer, this assessment will only be
triggered if the property increases its density either by change of use (i.e., single family to multi-,
family housing) or through increased density within the same use (i.e., further subdivision of
land for single family housing).
You will not be required to pay the assessment unless one of the above situations occurs. However,
the assessment district will accrue simple interest at a rate of 5.93% per annum for a period of ten
years. The accrual of interest will begin thirty (30) days after the notice of potential assessment is
recorded with King County Records. To avoid interest charges at a future date, you may pay the
amount of assessment during the thirty -day period after recording, interest free. This option is totally
at the discretion of the property owner.

Some properties within the boundary of this special assessment district are currently within other city
held special assessment districts. Each property will only be responsible to pay the charges for the
special assessment districts that they derive benefit from.
Per City Ordinance No. 4444 you may request an appeal hearing by writing to the Renton City
Council, c/o City Clerk, 1055 S. Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055, within twenty (20) days of this
mailing (by July XX, 2004, 5:00 P.M.).
Grounds for protest:
An appeal shall include a statement of claimed errors that concern the proposed
assessment and must be accompanied by a $75.00 non-refundable fee. Errors which are
not set forth in writing will not be considered. Pursuant to City Ordinance No. 4444,
Sections 9-16-9.0 and D, the only items of appeal that will be considered are the cost of
the facilities, the costs distribution methodology, and the issue of benefit to the
properties to be assessed
Appeal Fee and Appeal Process:
A non-refundable appeal fee in the amount of $75.00 shall be submitted with each
appeal. If a protest is received and deemed timely and establishes a proper grounds for
protest according to City Ordinance, a public hearing will be held. If no protests are
received, the above -quoted notice of potential assessment will be recorded against your
property. The charge(s) will not be collected until you subsequently tap onto or use the
facilities covered by the Special Assessment District notice.
We hope that this notice will answer most of your questions. If you do, however, have questions
pertaining to sewer installations, the background of the assessment district, or the appeal process,
please contacts John Hobson (primary) at 425-430-7279 or Dave Christensen (secondary) at
425-430-7212.
