F. APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
1. Land Use Element — Residential Single Family
2. Housing Element
G. DEPARTMENT ANAL YSIS:
1. Proiect Description/Background
The applicants have proposed to subdivide a 0.35-acre parcel into three lots. The property is currently
developed with a 900 square foot single-family residence and a 750 square foot detached garage. Both
structures would be removed or demolished as a result of this proposal. All three lots are intended for the
eventual development of detached single-family homes.
The lots are proposed at the following sizes: 5,448 square feet (Lot 1), 4,679 square feet (Lot 2); 4,989 square
feet (Lot 3). The applicant is proposing to serve the lots from Morris Avenue South. Specifically, Lot 1 would
have direct vehicular and emergency access from Morris Avenue South, while Lots 2 and 3 would be served
via a 20-foot private drive (easement) over Lot 1. All of the proposed lots would be considered interior lots.
The topography of the subject site slopes at less than 1% from north to south. The subject site is
predominately vegetated with grass lawn and two ornamental trees, which would be removed as a result of this
proposal. No critical areas were found at the subject site during the review of this application.
2. Environmental Review
Except when located on lands covered by water or critical 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-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.
The applicant has proposed three lots that range in size from 4,679 square feet to 5,448 square
feet.
Policy LU-36. Allowable developments 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.
The subject site is less than one-half an acre in size. As such, the net density of the proposed
subdivision is 8.6 dwelling units per acre, which is within the density range prescribed.
Policy H-4. Encourage infill development as a means to increase capacity.
shpltrpt.doc
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED June 13, 2003; PROJECT LUA-03-047, SHPL-A Page 4
The proposal would create two additional residential lots, thereby 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 two new single-
family dwelling units.
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 3 lots or
more lots from the gross acreage of the site. The property does not contain any environmentally
sensitive areas nor areas required for right-of-way dedication or private drives serving more than
three units. Therefore, the net site area of the proposal is the same as the gross property area
(15,116 square feet or 0.35 acres). This in turn, equates to a net density of 8.6 dwelling units per
acre (3 / 0.35 = 8.6 du/ac), which is under the maximum (9.7) allowed within the R-8 zone.
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 to
have up to 50% lot coverage. At the time of building permit submittal, staff will verify the lot
coverage for all three lots.
Setbacks in the R-8 zone are as follows: front yard 20 feet, side yard 5 feet, side yard along a
street 15 feet, and rear yard 20 feet. While no building construction is planned at this time, the lots
appear to have adequate area to provide for new single-family residences while meeting the
required setbacks and lot coverage. In addition, each lot appears to have adequate area to
provide two off-street parking spaces as required by the parking regulations (these development
standards would be reviewed with the building permit).
c) Compliance with Subdivision Regulations
Streets: No new public streets would be created as part of the proposed short plat.
The Subdivision Regulations require the installation of full street improvements, including curb,
gutter, 6-foot sidewalk, and half -street pavement along the site's subject streets (RMC section 4-6-
060), unless previously installed or waived or deferred through the City of Renton Board of Public
Works. As there are no curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements fronting the site along Morris
Avenue South, the applicant would be required to install those improvements as a code related
condition of short plat approval. However, the applicant may request a waiver or deferral from the
City's Board of Pubic Works.
The proposed subdivision 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 two additional lots are expected to generate approximately 9.57
new average weekday trips per single-family residence. The fee for the proposed short plat is
estimated at $1,435.50 ($75.00 x 9.57 trips x 2 = $1,435.50) with credit given for the existing
single-family residence 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 short plat would
create three lots, which are proposed at 5,448 square feet (Lot 1), 4,679 square feet (Lot 2) and
4,989 square feet (Lot 3). The proposed lot sizes are compatible with other existing lots in this
area of the City under the same R-8 zoning classification.
The proposed lots also comply with the R-8 requirements for minimum lot width (60 feet for corner
lots and 50 feet for interior lots) as well as minimum lot depth (65 feet). Specifically, the lot widths
range from 65 feet to 73 feet and lot depths range from 71 feet to 75 feet. All three of the
proposed lots (interior lots) 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, shape, orientation, and arrangement of the proposed lots comply with the requirements
of the Subdivision Regulations and the development standards of the R-8 zone. In addition, each
lot would have vehicular and emergency access to a public street via Morris Avenue South.

City of Renton PB/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED June 13, 2003; PROJECT LUA-03-047, SHPL-A Page 5
d) Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries
Access: Each lot would have access to a public right-of-way (Morris Avenue South). Specifically,
Lot 1 would have direct emergency and vehicular access to Morris Avenue South, while Lots 2 & 3
would receive access from a 20-foot wide easement over Lot 1. As Lot 1 (abutting Morris Avenue
South) is only 73 feet in width, staff recommends a condition of short plat approval requiring Lot 1
to utilize the 20-foot wide easement for vehicular access onto Morris Avenue South. Staff also
recommends that this condition be placed on the face of the final short plat prior to recording.
Finally, as Lots 2 and 3 would be accessed from a private drive over Lot 1 and may not be visible
from the street, staff recommends that the applicant be required to erect a street address sign that
would be visible from Morris Avenue South.
Topography: The topography of the site slopes to the north at an average slope of less than 1 %.
The property is vegetated with grass lawn; field grass and 2 ornamental trees. In order to locate
the access and utility easement and to create suitable building pads for the future single-family
homes, the applicant has proposed to remove the two trees as well as the majority of the grass
lawn. As the subject site is relatively flat and limited grading is necessary, the applicant was not
required to submit a preliminary Geotechnical Report.
However, as some grading will be necessary, potential erosion impacts may occur during project
construction; therefore, staff recommends the following two erosion control measures as
conditions of project approval: 1)The applicant shall install a construction fence and silt fence
along the down slope perimeter of the site. The silt fence shall be in place before clearing and
grading is initiated. 2) The applicant's contractor shall perform daily inspections of the erosion
control system and provide any recommendations regarding modification or redesign to the
inspector of record. These conditions would ensure that neighboring properties would be
protected from any stormwater erosion impacts generated from the proposal.
Relationship to Existing Uses: The properties surrounding the subject site are designated
Residential — 8 Dwelling Units Per Acre (R-8) 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 infill development. Moreover, as redevelopment occurs
in this area of the city, many of the nearby lots have been platted into smaller infill lots ranging from
4,500 square feet to 6,500 square feet in size.
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 mitigation fees. Therefore, staff recommends a Fire Mitigation Fee,
based on $488.00 per new single-family lot, which would mitigate the proposal's potential impacts
on the City's emergency services. The fee is estimated at $976.00 ($488 x 2 = $976.00) with
credit given for the existing single-family residence 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. In order to offset the additional demand on future park facilities generated
from this development, staff recommends a Park Mitigation Fee. This fee would go towards
creating new trails and facilities that may be utilized by future residents within the project site. As
such, staff recommends a condition of short plat approval requiring the applicant to pay a Parks
Mitigation Fee of $530.76 per new single-family lot, with credit given for the existing single-family
residence. The fee is estimated at $1,061.52 ($530.76 x 2 = $1,061.52) 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. Therefore, it is anticipated that the proposed short plat would
result in 0.88 (0.44 X 2 = 0.88) new children to the local schools (Talbot Hill Elementary School,
Dimmitt Middle School, and Renton High School). The Renton School District has indicated they
can accommodate the additional student generated by this proposal.
Streets: The subject site is located adjacent to Morris Avenue South. No additional streets are
required as part of this proposal. Nevertheless, the applicant would be required to pay a Traffic
shpltrpt. doc
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED June 13, 2003; PROJECT LUA-03-047, SHPL-A Page 6
Mitigation Fee in the amount of $75.00 per each new trip generated by the proposal prior to the
recording of the short plat. Please see above discussion regarding "Streets."
Storm Water. There are no storm water facilities adjacent to the subject site within Morris Avenue
South. A drainage narrative was submitted with the application and has been reviewed by the City
of Renton's Plan Review Section. The drainage plan will be required to meet the 1990 King
County Storm Water Design Manual prior to project construction. A Surface Water System
Development Charge of $525.00 per new single-family lot would be collected as part of the
construction permit or prior to the recording of the short plat.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities: There is an existing 4-inch water main and 8-inch sewer
main located in Morris Avenue South. Per code, the applicant would be required to provide a fire
hydrant within 300 feet of the farthest lot, capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 gallons per
minute (gpm). Therefore, staff recommends that the applicant be required to install an 8-inch
water main from South 15`h Street and a fire hydrant to provide 1000 gpm within 300 feet of
proposed Lot 3 prior to short plat recording. Staff also recommends that the applicant be required
to install separate water meter box connections for each new building lot prior to final short plat
recording.
A Water System Development Charge of $1,105 per new single-family lot, as well as a Sewer
System Development Charge of $760.00 per new single-family lot, would be collected as part of
the construction permit or prior to the recording of the short plat. Finally, in order to ensure
separate side -sewer stubs are installed prior to final short plat approval, staff recommends that the
applicant be required to install the new side sewer stub -out connections prior to final plat recording.
This condition would ensure the design, location and installation of the sewer stubs would be
acceptable and completed in a timely fashion.
H. Findings:

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 16, 2004

Members of the Renton City Council
VIA: jt Mayor Kathy Keolker-Wheeler
FROM: Alex Pietsch, EDNSP Administrator
STAFF CONTACT: Gil Cerise, x6578
SUBJECT: Auto Mall Sign Height Code Amendments
ISSUE:
Auto dealers within the Auto Mall are concerned about their visibility from nearby freeways and
arterials. Existing sign code governing signs within the Auto Mall area limit maximum height to 40 feet
within this area. Area dealers feel that 50 feet sign heights would improve their visibility from
surrounding freeways and arterials.
RECOMMENDATION:
• Amend the portion of the sign code applicable to motor vehicle dealerships over one acre of
contiguous ownership or control located within the Auto Mall Area to permit maximum sign heights
of 50 feet.
• Set an open public hearing date before the City Council for Monday, March 22, 2004.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
Existing Conditions. Auto dealers within the Auto Mall are concerned about their visibility from
nearby freeways and arterials. Existing sign code governing signs within the Auto Mall area state that a
freestanding sign may be a maximum of 40 feet or the height permitted within the zone, whichever is
less. The zone that predominates within the Auto Mall Area is the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone with
a maximum height of 50 feet. Therefore, maximum sign heights are 10 feet lower than maximum
building heights.
The Auto Mall was created at the junction of I-405 and SR-167 in order to increase visibility of and
improve access to auto dealerships in Renton for the regional market. Since its inception, the Auto Mall
has proved to be an economic asset to the City. With increased concerns over visibility heard from auto
dealerships in the area, staff believes that a modest height increase for auto dealership signs in this area
will help retain existing businesses and promote additional economic development for the City.
February 16, 2004
Page 2
Potential Code Amendments. Staff suggests amending the portion of the sign code applicable to
motor vehicle dealerships with over one acre of contiguous ownership or control located within the
Auto Mall Area. This would limit the taller signs to the larger auto dealerships located within the City's
Auto Mall Area. Auto dealerships with smaller areas of land or auto dealerships located outside of the
Auto Mall would still be limited to 40 feet tall signs. Staff estimates that under current property
ownership and configurations 11 auto dealerships would be able to take advantage of this taller sign
provision.
Staff proposes permitting maximum sign heights of 50 feet for larger auto dealerships located within the
Auto Mall Area. This would ensure that signs are no taller than the maximum building height permitted
in the zone. Also, the Auto Mall is outside of areas where sign heights of 50 feet would be a concern to
aircraft using the Renton Municipal Airport. A 50 foot height limit for larger auto dealerships would
further distinguish them and make those auto dealerships located further from the freeways and arterials
more visible to passing consumers.
The proposed code amendment complies with City policies supporting economic development and
support for retail activity within the City. The following policies support the proposed code
amendment:
Policy ED-8. Increase the retail sales tax base of the City.
The proposed taller sign would help increase the City's sales tax base. The Auto Mall provides a
significant amount of retail sales tax revenue for the City. This code amendment will encourage new
large auto dealerships to come to this part of the City, thus increasing the sales tax base of the City.
Policy ED-18. Retain existing and attract new businesses that generate consumer oriented commercial
activity.
The code amendment is expected to retain existing large auto dealers in the City's Auto Mall, as well as
attract new auto dealers. Auto dealerships are some of the largest consumer oriented commercial
activities. This code amendment helps ensure auto dealerships remain happy with the Auto Mall area.
Objective ED-E. Ensure a healthier regional economy.
The City's Auto Mall is also a source of revenue for the regional economy. The Auto Mall area
provides retails sales tax that supports State, regional, and County government functions and services.
In addition, the spin off effects of income generated from the auto mall helps ensure a healthy regional
economy. This code amendment ensures the City's Auto Mall continues in its role providing income
for the regional economy.
Conclusion:
Permitting an additional 10 feet of sign height within the Auto Mall Area for auto dealerships with one
acre or more of land would further distinguish the auto dealerships within this area, and increase
visibility of the large auto dealers from automobile traffic passing on I-405 and SR-167 (Rainier
Avenue). Limiting the taller signs to auto dealerships over one acre in size would prevent proliferation
of a large number of 50-foot signs in this area, and retain the larger auto dealerships which contribute so
much to the identity of the City's Auto Mall.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The County has a capital improvement project (CIP #400400) along the Trans -Valley corridor to
design and construct the Integrated Traffic Signal (ITS) Proram for the corridor. The corridor starts
at SE 184th Street on Petrovitsky and follows along SE 176t Street, Carr Road, SW 43`d Street, S
180th Street and onto SE 180th Street where it ends at Southcenter Parkway. Tukwila, Renton, the
State and County own traffic signals and related equipment along the corridor. The construction of
this project will optimize the use of existing signals and turn lanes along the corridor. It is in the best
interest of the parties to establish a lead agency to coordinate the project. The parties are authorized,
pursuant to RCW Chapter 39.34, to enter into an interlocal governmental cooperative agreement of
this nature.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Transportation staff recommends Council approve the resolution and authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to enter into the Trans -Valley Project Interlocal Agreement for design and construction.

The County has a Capital Improvement Project (CIP #400400) along the Trans -Valley corridor
("corridor") for the purpose of designing and constructing the Integrated Traffic Signal (ITS)
program for the corridor, hereinafter called the "Project'. The corridor is defined as starting
from SE 184th Street on Petrovitsky Road and follows along on SE 176d' Street, Carr Road,
SW 43`d Street, S 180`h Street, and onto SE 180th Street where it ends at Southcenter Parkway.
Portions of the corridor are located in Renton, Tukwila, and unincorporated King County. The
corridor has an intersection with SR 515. Tukwila, Renton, the State, and the County own
traffic signals and related equipment along the corridor. Additional equipment to be owned by
these parties will be provided by the County as part of the Project.
Trans -Valley project Interlocal Agreement
February 23, 2004
Page 2
Renton's match fund share of the project is $50,000 for design and construction of the Project.
Renton will provide fiber optic cable between the Renton Traffic Management Center (TMC)
and the Trans -Valley ITS corridor. The fiber optic connection is considered an in -kind
contribution with a value of $50,000 to the Project and therefore fulfills Renton's share
requirement.
CONCLUSION:
The parties agree that the construction of the Project would optimize the use of existing signals
and turn lanes along the corridor. It is in the best interest of the parties to establish a lead
agency to coordinate the Project. The parties are authorized, pursuant to RCW Chapter 39.34,
to enter into an interlocal governmental cooperative agreement of this nature.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
There are five single-family parcels with existing houses along NE 2nd Street to the east of
Lyons Ave. These parcels are currently on septic systems. The property owners are having
problems with their septic systems. Specifically, they are being challenged by high ground
water. Potential reasons for the high ground water include the heavy rain events we have had
this year and/or recent plat(s) being built in the area.
Staff has discussed the situation with the property owners and the neighboring developer. The
developer has agreed to assist the City by having their contractor install the sewer in front of the
properties, as an extension of the development, with Renton paying for the additional facilities.
Our estimate for the installation is approximately $45,000. In order to have the property owners
pay their fair share, Renton would form a Special Assessment District for the sewers. The
assessment would be per each unit. We estimate ten potential units, with a per unit cost of $4,500.
The property owners are in favor of this action and have submitted letters to that effect. All of the
property owners are aware of the need to pay their fair share of the facility and are in agreement.
In an effort to get sewer service available quickly, staff would like authorization to begin
construction prior to the end of the appeal period.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is the recommendation of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department that preliminary
approval be given for the NE 2"d Street Sanitary Sewer Special Assessment District.
It is further recommended that Council authorize staff to begin construction prior to the completion
of the appeal period and direct staff to proceed with the establishment of the final STecial Assessment
District upon completion of the construction of the sanitary sewer facility in NE 2" Street.

Dear Sirs,
This letter is to inform you that I as the properly owner of 5522 N.E. 2nd street would Iike to
form a mini sewer district or group to connect mY- house to the sewer district. We have had constant
problems with the current septic system because of a very high water table in the fall and springtime.
The last time the tank was pumped the water was comming in from the drainfield as fast as they could
pump it out. The septic tank has floated to the surface over the years. I would be glad to pay for this
eNpense to alleviate the constant hassle with backed up drains. This letter is to inform the City of Renton
I will do evertlting in my power to get this going.
Sincerely,

City Code Revision for R-1 Community Separators
(January 26, 2004)
The Planning and Development Committee met February 19, 2004 to consider a request from
D.J. Rollins to include a code amendment addressing clustering requirements in the R-1 zone
in the 2004 work program. The Committee recommends that this item be moved in priority
ahead of the annual code amendment docket due to current annexation activity in the portion
of the Potential Annexation Area pre -zoned R-1. The intent of the work program will be to
evaluate opportunities to increase consistency between King County's policies and zoning and
Renton's requirements. The issue will remain in Committee pending staff and Planning
Commission analysis and recommendation.

CfTY CLECEIVED
t IC S OFFICE
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk with me about my concerns.
It was very nice to have someone listen and show concern. I hope I did not ramble on too
much and confuse issues. What follows is a narrative laying foundation so the reader can
understand what has gone on creating my somewhat paranoid emotion. Also, a short
summary of options I would like to see happen.
I would like to have my property at 620 SW Sunset Blvd. rezoned to a realistic use
zoning instead of the current single-family zoning with my clinic business being grand
fathered. My building was a fourplex when it was constructed circa 1950. My father
moved his chiropractic practice from downtown on Wells Street to the location in 1954
utilizing the front apartment initially, then expanding to the second unit in the late 1950's.
Today and for the past 40 years it has been a health clinic and two apartments, a one
bedroom and a two bedroom with paved parking for 18 cars. I moved my practice to this
location in 1979 when my father retired. I purchased this property from my father in
1980. I would like to rezone the property for mixed use that would expand not only the
use but, also, I then could get permits to upgrade electrical etc to higher standards.
The change from single family to a mixed -use zoning makes sense as it never has been a
single-family home and is not really suited for a single-family home because of the busy
& noisy highway. The current homes along this strip are old and rundown, some already
serving multiple families and home business. Two lots west there is a commercial
business and has been for more than 50 years. My father, son and I have had our
business at this location for 50 years. I was bom and raised in this neighborhood and I'm
proud of this little area know as SW Sunset Blvd, " the road that turns into Martin Luther
King." I plan to be here many years and want to add to the redevelopment and
improvement of my neighborhood. I need help and guidance to this end.

The following is a narrative of my recent experience working with city workers relative
to my property:
In February 2002, I began upgrading my building that had become dated and run down.
The summer of 2002 I had the entire exterior and the front half of my clinic interior
completely upgraded not only for a new fresh look, but electrical and mechanical were
also brought up to commercial standards in the front half of my clinic. We went down to
the studs and rebuilt it all in the front unit. It looks great and I feel it adds value to the
entire neighborhood.
In the beginning of 2003 I contacted Holmes Electric to have the two apartments in the
back half of my building rewired. The Holmes Electric representative wanted to talk
with the city electrical people. He informed me while in a conversation with a city
worker at city hall about the project, another city worker put his head out of his office and
asked where they were talking about. When he was informed it was my property this city
worker said, "he knows he can't do anything with that property as it is not zoned
multifamily". The Holmes representative returned to my office and gracefully bowed out
of giving me an estimate to have electrical updated due to the apparent lack of
cooperation by the city.
In July 2003. I rented Apt. C to a man that wanted to live there and run his small
mortgage financing business from his apartment. I rented Apt C to him and informed
him he could not have signs and that he needed a city business license even though it was
an apartment. The next month he wanted to rent Apt D for his soon to be manager, to do
the same as he was doing. He said he was just starting out in business and wanted to
keep things simple. Apt D was not in very good condition, however, he said he would fix
it up at his expense, so I told him to go for it, but let me know what he as doing and not to
move any structural walls. The wiring needed to be updated and I told him about my
previous experience, but he said we would find an electrician that could get the job done.
I called an electrician and told him to call these people. I informed the electrician they
did not have a permit. The electrician thought I wanted him to do the job without a
permit but I clarified to him no, I wanted him to get a permit and to deal with my renter
as they were paying for this job. The next day while seeing patients in my clinic, I saw
the city building inspector outside standing by his truck. I figured he was there just doing
the permit thing. The renter came into my office and told me he had a stop work order
and the inspector was throwing a fit, cussing, & raging on because he had removed this
red tag from the door. He said he told the inspector he took it off the door to go into his
apartment and call to find out what was going on. While he was on the phone his
workers who were doing the work inside the apartment arrived and so did the inspector
who had posted the door earlier that morning. I went out to talk with this inspector to
find out what was going on. He said he had received a complaint that we were doing
work without a permit. He said the police were coming and was just emotionally beside
himself. I asked him what they had to do to remedy the situation. He said you couldn't
do anything. I said what if they get a permit? He said I won't give you one. I said what
do you mean you wont give me one; I got a permit to remodel the front unit last year and
he responded by saying "yeah that was a mistake." I asked him what do you mean a
2
mistake and he said the city made a mistake and never should have issued that permit. I
asked him why? He said" you're not zoned and you were expanding your business. 1
said my business was grand fathered years ago and all the work was done by a reputable
contractor and was inspected by the city inspectors and passed. I also informed him I
was not expanding by business. He just said again "it was a mistake and it won't happen
again". I asked him what could I do with the. apartment? He said you can't do anything
and I would have to seal the apartment and never use it for anything.
The renter told me later that day he went down to city hall and spoke to this inspectors
boss and was told just get the permit, then you can do the work. He called the electrician
and asked him to get the permit and do the job. The electrician called the next day and
said the city won't give him a permit so he can't do the job. The renter moved out at the
end of August 2003. Apartment D has been completely ruined wallboard torn out, wiring
gone. Another man from the zoning office, very kind and professional, came and asked if
my renter had a business license. He told me they did not. I explained the whole story to
him. First he told me to call someone at city hall explain what happened so I could get
permits to do the work and repair the damage. Then 2 days later the same zoning man
came by my office and told me not to contact anyone; he would look into what I would
have to do and he would get back to me. He said the worst that could happen is I would
have to seal the apartment and never use it for anything. He said do nothing until I heard
from him. I did not hear from him again, until December of 2003 when he called and
asked if the new person I was renting Apt C was going to live there. I informed him she
did plan to live there. He said he was still working on my problem. He asked me when
was the last time I rented the apartment before this last guy. I told him it was always
rented off and on, in fact I lived there when I got married 36 years ago and my brother
lived there for awhile; we laughed and I have not heard from him since.
I admit I was naive in letting the renter do construction work in Apt D. They tried to get
away with something. It was a mistake on my part and I accept responsibility, however
the remedy to seal the apartment and never use it is unacceptable. When or if I am issued
permits, I have a real concern city inspectors will be holding my remold up to nit picking
standards for retaliation, for which they have a reputation.
I have mixed issues and it may seem somewhat confusing, however it is my intent to
convey my state of mind based on my experiences. I am concerned about aggravating
someone and somehow losing my grandfather status. I want to do the right thing and I
want the right thing done to me. I want the use of all my property and the ability to
upgrade it, which will add to the quality of the neighborhood. I want to work with
rational and reasonable people to solve the issues and move positively into the future
improving our great City of Renton.
Again, thank you for your attention on this very important matter.
Rodney E Handly D.C.
