SPECIAL
Jim Medzegian, member of the Return to Renton Cruise -In Car Show Steering
PRESENTATIONS
Committee, stated that the mission of the car show is to raise funds for the
Community Event: Return to
Police Department's youth education programs. Mr. Medzegian reported that
Renton Car Show,
200 vehicles were displayed at the 15th annual event held at Renton Memorial
Contribution of Proceeds to
Stadium on July 9th. He showed pictures taken at the event, and reviewed the
Police Department
vision for future car shows, which includes increasing the number of vehicles,
expanding family activities, and moving the 2007 event to downtown Renton.
Mr. Medzegian presented Police Chief Garry Anderson with a check in the
amount of $3,200. Chief Anderson accepted the money with appreciation,
saying that the Police Department just authorized two grants to the Renton
School District for a middle school learning program.
AJLS: Mayor's Presentation of
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler presented her proposed City of Renton 2006 Budget to
2006 Budget
members of the City Council and Renton citizens. She acknowledged the
policy work and guidance provided by the City Council, and the efforts of City
staff.
The Mayor reviewed the 2005 achievements, which include: RenStat (a
program that addresses, identifies, and targets crime), the Federal Reserve Bank
of San Francisco (broke ground this summer on its new facility in Renton),
downtown redevelopment, the securing of Federal and Sound Transit funds for
important transportation projects, REACT (a program that addresses non-
criminal activities and nuisance abatement), volunteerism such as the Mayor's
Planting Day, the Clean Sweep program, the operation of the Henry Moses
Aquatic Center at a profit, and the master plan for the Heather Downs
neighborhood park.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler noted the continuing challenge of high expectations
versus limited resources. Voter -enacted limits on taxes and State mandated tax
exemptions continue to constrain the City's revenues. Reporting that property
November 7, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 378
taxes make up almost one-third of the City's general governmental revenues,
she explained that with the limit on the amount the City can collect and the
continuing increase in the value of property, the actual amount of the tax levy
declines. It has declined over the past ten years from $3.60 per thousand
dollars of assessed valuation to $3.07. She pointed out that in the meantime,
the growing economy has added significant new construction and annexations,
which helps the property tax base grow.
Turning to the key 2006 initiatives, the Mayor began with the promotion of
neighborhood revitalization by proposing the continuation of the REACT
program, which includes adding three police officers; the continuation of the
Clean Sweep program; and the completion of the Highlands Sub -Area Plan.
The promotion of Citywide economic development includes the redevelopment
of the Boeing property ("The Landing" project), the Downtown Action Plan,
and on -going business recruitment.
Continuing, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler discussed the management of growth
through sound urban planning, highlighting various transportation projects.
She noted that the proposed budget includes funds to build the Heather Downs
neighborhood park, and a new parks and facilities maintenance complex. In
regards to annexations, the Mayor explained that State and King County
policies require the City to explore annexing surrounding unincorporated areas.
The City is trying to respond to these demands in a balanced and objective way
that does not negatively impact existing residents.
Continuing with the meeting of service demands that contribute to a livable
community, the Mayor reported that the proposed budget maintains existing
service levels, proposes no new taxes, does not use reserves to balance the
General Governmental Budget, updates user fees such as fire inspection fees
and system development charges, and implements an annexation fee. The
budget proposal adds: three police officers, one fire inspector, one fire support
staff member, local matching funds for a grant to potentially add three
firefighters, court security measures, and two staff positions and others costs
related to operating the new Maplewood Water Treatment Facility.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that the total proposed 2006 Budget is
approximately $171.2 million, of which $72.5 million is the General
Governmental Budget. The proposed budget includes increasing the water and
stormwater system rates by 3%, and the wastewater system rate by 4%.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler proposed that the City Council partner with her in
2006 to engage in a comprehensive "priorities of government" process with the
following goals in mind: alignment of City services with community needs and
priorities, continued accountability, and effective communication. She
explained that the City needs to strike the right balance between what the
community needs from its local government, and the amount of resources
necessary to accommodate those needs. The Mayor emphasized that this
process will be a way to examine unmet needs, and ensure that the City is using
its scarce resources in the best way possible.
PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Annexation: Querin 11, accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
Hoquiam Ave NE public hearing to consider the 60% Petition to Annex and R-8 zoning for the
proposed Querin II Annexation; 7.3 acres located between Hoquiam Ave. NE
on the west and 144th Ave. SE, if extended, on the east, south of SE 112th St.
November 7, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 379
Senior Planner Don Erickson reported that the annexation area contains three
single-family dwellings. The topography of the site is relatively flat where it
abuts Hoquiam Ave. NE, and the eastern portion contains steep slopes as a
result of Honey Creek and its ravine. He noted that King County's 2005 surface
water design standards or greater are recommended at the time of development.
The site is served by the following public services: Fire District #25, Water
District #90, Renton sewer, and the Renton School District.
Mr. Erickson stated that existing King County zoning is R-4 (four dwelling
units per gross acre), and the Renton Comprehensive Plan designates the site as
Residential Single Family, for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre)
zoning is proposed. He indicated that the proposed annexation is generally
consistent with City annexation policies and relevant Boundary Review Board
criteria. In regards to the fiscal impact analysis, Mr. Erickson estimated a
surplus of $236 at current development, a surplus of $9,278 at full
development, and a one-time parks acquisition and development cost of
$27,176.
Mr. Erickson indicated that the proposed annexation does not present any major
impediments to the provision of City services to the area. He concluded that
the annexation appears to further Renton business goals and is in the best
interests of the City.
Public comment was invited.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler referred the request by Virginia Broyles, 11224 142nd
Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, for information regarding utility rates and the sewer
system to Mr. Erickson.
Jim Montcrief, 11216 142nd Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, stated that an additional
house exists in the annexation area, for a total of four dwellings.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON,
SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CARRIED.
MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE
QUERIN II DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX, SUPPORT R-8 ZONING
CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RESIDENTIAL
SINGLE FAMILY LAND USE DESIGNATION, AND AUTHORIZE THE
ADMINISTRATION TO SUBMIT THE NOTICE OF INTENT PACKAGE
TO THE BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD. CARRIED.
Planning: Boeing Subdistrict This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
113 Conceptual Plan accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
public hearing to consider the Boeing Subdistrict 1B Conceptual Plan for a
second phase of redevelopment of surplus property located south of N. 8th St.
and east of Logan Ave. N.
Alex Pietsch, Economic Development Administrator, explained that conceptual
planning is a requirement of the 2003 development agreement between the City
and Boeing, which pertains to the future redevelopment of Boeing Renton Plant
site. Conceptual planning provides the City with certainty that its vision will be
met, and confidence for its infrastructure commitments. He reported that three
subdistricts were created within this site, which bears the Urban Center -North
(UC-N) land use designation, and pointed out that a conceptual plan has already
been adopted for Subdistrict IA.
November 7, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 380
Mr. Pietsch reviewed the conceptual plan requirements, which include
consistency with the UC-N vision, a description of the development, and an
economic benefit analysis. He indicated that the Subdistrict 1B Conceptual
Plan divides the property into two distinct parts. The northern 21 acres is
currently under a "right of first offer" agreement with Harvest Partners and
likely will be sold in the very near future and be used for retail development.
The southern 31 acres, which is not expected to be declared surplus in the near
future, contains 660,000 square feet of existing office buildings and remaining
land for in -fill development.
Continuing, Mr. Pietsch reviewed the economic benefits associated with the
development of the two parts of Subdistrict 1B such as job creation and
revenues, and he noted that the conceptual plan meets the vision of the UC-N
designation. He reported that staff proposes the following two conditions to the
plan: 1) Park Ave. N. be designated as a pedestrian -oriented street, and 2)
transit facilities be allowed within the northern 21-acre portion should funding
opportunities arise and the development of such facilities support the
surrounding development and be supported by the property owner(s).
Mr. Pietsch stated that staff recommends approval, with conditions, of the
Boeing Subdistrict 113 Conceptual Plan. He indicated that the related
Committee of the Whole report will be presented to Council for adoption, and
if approved, Boeing will then present its Planned Action for Council
consideration.
Responding to Councilman Clawson's inquiry regarding the potential transit
facility and the financing of the infrastructure, Mr. Pietsch stated that Sound
Transit's Sound Move 2 plan consists of a parking garage and a bus rapid transit
facility. He described future road and trunk utility infrastructure improvements,
including the realignment and widening of Park Ave. N., the widening of Logan
Ave. N., a new N. 10th St., and the extension of N. 8th St. He explained that as
part of the 2003 Boeing development agreement, the City will build main
arterial roads and trunk utility lines deemed necessary for the project as long as
there is revenue from the development allowing two-thirds of that revenue to
support debt service on bonds. The remaining one-third would be for the
general fund to support City services.
Discussion ensued regarding the number of lanes proposed for Logan Ave. N.,
the improvements to various area streets such as Park Ave. N. and Garden Ave.
N., the ability of the utility infrastructure to support future expansion of the
roads, and the traffic flow in the area. In response to Councilman Corman's
comments, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman
noted that the City is reevaluating the traffic counts as part of the design
process for the area's roadway system, and he described the findings and the
adjustments that are being made.
Public comment was invited.
Ray Giometti, 323 Pelly Ave. N., Renton, 98055, suggested that the widening
of Logan Ave. N. occur sooner than later; otherwise, traffic will be forced onto
Park Ave. N., fracturing the North Renton neighborhood. Pointing out that his
neighborhood is located across the street from the southern 31-acre portion of
Subdistrict 1B, Mr. Giometti expressed opposition to the development of the
land for big -box retail use.
November 7, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 381
Mike O'Donin, 423 Pelly Ave. N., Renton, 98055, expressed concern that
Logan Ave. N. will become a traffic choke point, thereby increasing transit
traffic on Park Ave. N. He asked for further review of the Logan Ave. N.
expansion.
Richard Zwicker, 446 Pelly Ave. N., Renton, 98055, agreed with the previous
speakers' comments. He confirmed that the original plan was for Logan Ave.
N. to be the main thoroughfare, and for Park Ave. N. to be pedestrian friendly.
In response to Council inquiries, Mr. Pietsch confirmed that the street network
design was adopted in the 2003 development agreement with Boeing, and the
subject conceptual plan is a separate matter. Chief Administrative Officer Jay
Covington pointed out that since Boeing owns the right-of-way on Logan Ave.
N., the City does not have the ability to expand the road beyond three lanes at
this time.
Councilmembers Corman and Palmer suggested further review of the
transportation plan for the subject area.
Lee Chicoine, 406 Burnett Ave. N., Renton, 98055, expressed concern about
the flow and amount of traffic, saying that he wants Logan Ave. N. expanded to
five lanes to prevent a choke point.
Nora Schultz, 540 Williams Ave. N., Apt. 12, Renton, 98055, stated her desire
for consistent traffic flow on Logan Ave. N., and less traffic on N. 6th St. Ms.
Schultz suggested further review of the matter.

REPORT
report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work
programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2005 and beyond. Items noted
included:
City Hall Information Desk volunteers were recently presented certificates
of appreciation at a dinner hosted by City Clerk Division staff. Since the
programs establishment in 1984, the volunteers have given over 51,000
hours of excellent service to the City.
Work is now underway on the SW 27th St./Strander Blvd. Connection,
Segment 1, construction project, which initially will provide access to the
proposed Federal Reserve Bank facility and, ultimately, will result in a new
five -lane arterial connecting Renton and Tukwila.

November 7, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 382
Citizen Comment: Blake -
Jay Paul Blake, 17627 133rd Pl. SE, Renton, 98058, stated that he is a member
Fairwood Incorporation
of the Fairwood community, and asked the City to consider initiating the
annexation of the proposed Fairwood Incorporation area into Renton's
boundaries. Noting that he has attended several meetings organized by the
Fairwood Task Force, he expressed his dismay at the inaccuracy of some of the
statements made by the speakers. Mr. Blake indicated that he opposes the
incorporation for reasons related to the limited financial viability of proposed
city.
Mr. Blake cited passages from the Fairwood Incorporation feasibility study
concerning the proposed city's financial viability.
MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL ALLOW THE
SPEAKER FIVE ADDITIONAL MINUTES FOR HIS COMMENTS.
CARRIED.
Mr. Blake continued with his review of the feasibility study. He concluded that
Renton is in a strong financial position, and consequently, the residents of the
Fairwood area will be best served by being annexed to the City of Renton.
Citizen Comment: Finlayson -
Laurie Finlayson, 14224 SE 163rd Pl., Renton, 98058, supported Mr. Blake's
Fairwood Incorporation
request that Renton consider annexing the Fairwood area. She expressed her
surprise at some Fairwood residents' negative opinions of Renton, and surmised
it may be because they do not relate to Renton since much of the area resides
within the Kent School District. Ms. Blake indicated that the analysis of the
financial feasibility of the proposed city did not convince her that incorporation
will work. She stated her desire to be apprised of all the options, including a
comparison of both incorporation and annexation to Renton, in order to make
an informed decision.
Discussion ensued regarding the Fairwood Incorporation effort; Renton's
practice to wait for parties to express interest in annexing to the City;
regulations concerning the allowance of an annexation effort while an
incorporation effort is pending; the possibility of an advisory vote on the
interest of Fairwood residents annexing to Renton; the unlikelihood that the
vote for the Fairwood Incorporation will occur in February 2006, as the
Boundary Review Board will be conducting hearings in January and February;
Fairwood residents' perception of Renton; Council's stance on the annexation of
the Fairwood area to Renton; and the provision of information concerning
annexation to Renton.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler asked Economic Development Administrator Alex
Pietsch to research the questions that surfaced during the discussion.
Councilman Clawson acknowledged the consent of the Councilmembers for the
continued conveyance of information regarding annexation to Renton.

NOTE: Committee of the Whole meetings are held in the Council Chambers unless otherwise noted. All other committee meetings are held in the Council

It is my pleasure to present our recommendations
for the 2006 budget.
This budget totals over $171 million and I believe
represents the right priorities to continue our
investments in the future of Renton.
i
First, I want to acknowledge the policy work and guidance
provided by the City Council. Together we developed and
revised our business plan for 2006 through 2011 and I want to
assure you that we relied on this work consistently in developing
our recommendations.
Thank you for your dedication to this important work.
We will return to the role of the business plan later.

This budget acknowledges and builds on the achievements of the
past year. I'd like to mention a few of them this evening.
RenStat is a very important tool to assure the efficiency of our
law enforcement resources. This effort allows us to target police
services where they are needed most.

SW 271h Street Improvements
State, federal and regional transit tax dollars have been secured for many
Renton transportation projects. All the state and federal money we can return to
the community reduces the local burden on our tax payers for these regional
facilities.
2005 has been a banner year for securing transportation funding: $33.6 Million.
The City secured $15 M regional transit funding for the Rainier and Hardie
Improvements project.
We obtained $8.75 M state and federal funding for the SW 27th/Strander Blvd.
Extension project.
We secured $3.25 M state and federal funding for the SR 169 improvements in
Renton.
We secured $6 M state and federal funding for the street improvements related
to the redevelopment of the Boeing South Lake Washington site.
And we also received federal grants in the amount $600,000 for trails and

The REACT program was implemented and significant progress

• Cost less than

Part of that civic pride is helping our citizens find solutions for
the difficult challenge of keeping debris from cluttering our
neighborhoods. We implemented the "Clean Sweep" program
and it:
1 - proved to be very popular with our citizens and
2 — proved to be a lot cheaper than we expected. In fact, the
money we saved from this year will pay for next year's program
— but more on that later.
11
Our recreation program takes great pride in the huge success of
the Henry Moses Aquatic Center. It is very unusual for a
swimming pool to "turn a profit" but ours does. This is largely
because the pool is so popular with lines forming well before the
pool opens. We have to routinely limit the number of people in
the facility�� a`�-Cal �G
12
Speaking of recreation, we designed, and council approved, a
master plan for improvements at a new park in the Heather
Downs neighborhood. This project was particularly rewarding
as it included a great deal of collaboration with the
neighborhood. I'm very proud of the way staff worked to take
the interests of the neighbors seriously in developing this design.
We started with their input rather than show them a few finished
products to choose from. This public involvement at the
beginning�will be a model for how the city involves the
neighborhoods in civic planning in the future.

Selected to attend training at
TP
And lam, the City of Renton was selected to attend a one -week intensive
training course on Emergency Management at FEMA's Emergency
Management Institute in Emitsburg, Maryland. 0�Ctt �'� Z Cc fo,
This prestigious training will include many partners from our community
who will be instrumental in our being prepared to assist our citizens in the
event of an emergency. The list of participants is being developed now.
FEMA will start this effort by visiting our community for a week to insure
that the training we receive will be relevant to our issues and our
geography. This training will only cost the city the price of our meals
while we are in Maryland.
14
We do have some challenges, however, as we face the future.
One challenge is the continuing effect of voter initiatives.
As you recall, one such initiative prompted the legislature to
eliminate the motor vehicle excise tax. This initiative reduced
city resources by over $800,000 per year.
Another initiative eliminated a county level transportation
funding tool.
Lastly, Initiative 747 placed a growth limit of one -percent on
property tax revenues. As you can see, property taxes make up
almost one-third of our General Government revenues.
15
G J-Q_
With the limit on the amoun an collect, and the
continuing increase in the value of property — the amount of the tax levy
declines. It has declined over the past 10 years from $3 and 60 cents to
$3 and 7 cents in 2006. This is a 15% drop.
As the chart shows, we started controlling the growth in property taxes
long before Initiative 747 was proposed. This was done as a part of our
economic development strategy as new business development provides
additional tax dollars to the community.
In the meantime, the growing economy has added significant new
construction and annexations which does help the property tax base grow
as you will see in our review of the anticipated revenues.
16
Next, I want to review the 2006 budget that I am proposing.
Again, we built our proposals on the policy guidance provided
by the City Council when you adopted the business plan.
17
First, we looked at continuing our efforts to revitalize the city's
neighborhoods.
Promote Neighborhood Revitalization
We propose to continue and make permanent the REACT
program.
To do this, we are proposing adding 3 police officers. As you
recall, we assigned 3 officers from the patrol unit to REACT.
This addition will allow us to restore those officers to their
patrol duties.
Secondly, we propose the retention of the code compliance
officers we added to this effort last year.
We are also proposing a modest increase to the City Attorney's
office to accommodate the increased work this program has
generated.
19
Promote Neighborhood Revitalization
• Continue ""Clean Sweep"
• Started in 2005
• Use funds allocated in 2005, which remain
due to the program being less expensive
• Three activities started will continue:
• Neighborhood Clean-up campaign
• City-wide "Reuse It!" stop and swap meet
• Neighbor -to -Neighbor curbside collection
20 n1laTVs Ing I'nRenton'sFuture
We propose retaining the very popular "Clean Sweep" program
As I said, the 2005 effort did not cost as much as anticipated so
we will be able to carry enough funds forward to provide for the
program in 2006.
We intend to continue the:
Neighborhood clean up program, the
City-wide Reuse It — stop and swap meet, and the
Neighbor to neighbor curbside collection in 2006

We are excited about the progress being made on the redevelopment of

The owners are continuing to work with staff to refine their plans and
coordinate with the city to make this project a reality.
Work is anticipated to start soon after the first of the year and we will be
briefing the City Council on this exciting project very soon.
Design work on the street grid is substantially complete. We worked to
be sure the new street system met the city's needs first, while also
accommodating the new development.
By 2007, Renton will have abundant recreational shopping and
entertainment opportunities.
23
The Downtown Action Plan continues to be implemented.
Newly hired staff with a proven track record in downtown
business development have already begun meeting with business

State and county policies require the city to explore annexing the
unincorporated areas around us. We are trying to respond to these
demands in a balanced and objective way that does not negatively impact
our existing citizens.
We have spent a significant amount of effort in reviewing the potential
annexations around the city. These include the East Highlands area
shown here), the Cascade area, the West Hill area and the potential for
annexation in the Fairwood area. These are the major potential
annexation areas. Managing this process will take a lot of careful effort on
our parts to ensure our current citizens that we are able to meet their
needs and accommodate this much growth at the same time.

We are proposing no new taxes in 2006.
We did not use any reserves to balance the General

when we needed over $1.1 million in reserves to balance the
budget!
We are proposing updating a few user fees such as fire
inspection fees, system development charges, and an annexation

We are recommending adding:
• The local grant match that will be needed, should we be successful in
our application for a "SAFER" grant. This grant provides federal
funding to support hiring 3 firefighters to meet workload demands.
• Court security equipment and personnel to protect city staff and our
patrons on the 3rd floor. A few close calls, and the tragic events in
other court rooms in the region make this a priority. This also
responds to concerns expressed by court staff as well as the Domestic
Violence task force.
• Add 2 staff positions and other costs related to operating the new
Maplewood water treatment plant located on our golf course
35
Lastly, is the focus area related to influencing decisions that
impact the city of Renton.
36
Building on the successes of the past, we are recommending providing
funds to hire very experienced firms to assist us in our efforts to
demonstrate the city's need for federal and state funds for our most
important projects. Any funds coming back to Renton from the federal or
state government reduces the amounts required from our own citizens.
We continue to work with King County on the many complex issues
related to the annexations I discussed a few moments ago.
Council recently approved the contract to hire an experienced firm to
assist us in negotiating a new franchise agreement with the cable TV
industry and funding for this work is included in the 2006 budget.

The General Government is where we will spend much of our
discussion. That is because the activities within it are largely
subsidized by general taxes such as property tax, sales tax and
utility taxes.
Services in this category include police, fire, parks, street
maintenance, finance, human resources, the council and my
office.
This chart illustrates the change from 2005 to 2006 and the fact
that the 2006 budget is balanced with 2006 revenues. The

One of the areas where a fee increase is necessary is in our utility systems.
In 2005 we completed the investment in a $12.5 million water treatment facility. In
order to protect this investment, the 2006 budget includes increased costs related to
the facility.
In addition, there are other cost increases, largely state and federal mandates related to
keeping our drinking water and surface water systems clean.
As a result, I'm recommending increases of 3% in the Water and Stormwater systems
and 4% in the Waste Water system.
We will be conducting a comprehensive review of how we finance our utility services
this winter. Together we will analyze the many issues related to assuring long-term,
financial stability of the utility systems. For now, the proposal is to pay for the
increased costs of 2006 with the proposed modest rate increases.

Lastly, let me return to a subject we discussed previously.
I believe the structural imbalance of city budgets requires us to wipe the
slate clean periodically. We need to spend a significant amount of time in
our community and ensure that we are aligned with citizen priorities as
we spend their tax dollars to provide services. We need to examine our
public accountability and ensure we are communicating effectively with
the citizens we all serve.
I am asking the City Council to partner with me in 2006 to engage in a
comprehensive "priorities of government" process.
We will provide more recommendations on the substance of this effort
soon. In the meantime, we want to make sound investment decisions on
behalf of our community for 2006.

Balancing this budget was a difficult challenge.
Not only do we need to financially balance the budget, we need to strike the right
balance between what the community needs from its local government and the amount
of resources necessary to accommodate that need.
Again, the 2006 budget is balanced with 2006 revenue. However, in doing so, we left
many of the significant needs in our community unmet.
We reviewed hundreds of ideas and proposals for new services or enhancements to
existing service. We had to leave many of them on the budget cutting room floor.
We will be providing the Council with a representative example of some of the many
unmet needs in our community as you review the budget proposal.
The Priorities of Government Budget Process will be the time for us to examine these
unmet needs and ensure that we are using our scarce resources in the best way
possible.

QUERIN ANNEXATION PUBLIC HEARING
COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF 60% DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX AND
POSSIBLE FUTURE ZONING
November 7, 2005
The City is in receipt of the 60% Direct Petition to Annex from property owners in the proposed
Querin Il Annexation area representing more than 60% of the area's $987,000 assessed value.
The King County Department of Assessments certified the signatures on the petition on
September 13, 2005.
The 7.2-acre site is located in the City's East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area and is
designated Residential Single Family (RS) on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
The site currently has King County R-4 zoning, which allows up to six units per gross acre. It is
the City's intent to rezone it to R-8, eight units per net acre, consistent with the current
Residential Single Family (RS) land use designation, if the Council decides to accept the 60%
petition to annex for this site. With R-8 zoning the site would accommodate approximately 46
single-family detached dwelling units. There currently are three detached dwellings on it.
The annexation site abuts the City on its western and southern boundary. No existing public
right-of-ways are proposed to be included in this annexation. The site is relatively flat where it
abuts Hoquiam Avenue NE but falls off in its northeastern corner near Honey Creek. The
eastern part of the site is considered to be in a high erosion area.
Under RCW 35A.14.120, direct petitions to annex are initiated by property owners representing
either at least 10% of the annexation areas assessed value. Council authorized the circulation of
the 60% Direct Petition to Annex on August 1, 2005 and tonight must decide whether to accept
the petition, now that it has been certified, or reject it. If Council accepts it must decide on
probable future zoning, assuming the site will eventually be brought into the City. Under state
law the City required to hold at least two public hearings, thirty or more days apart, to consider
future zoning. Tonight's hearing would be the first of these.
If the Council continues to support this proposed annexation it will likely:
1. Accept the 60% Direct Petition to Annex,
2. Discuss its preference for future, zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, that
would be adopted at the time of annexation, and,
3. Authorize the Administration to forward the Notice of Intent package to the Boundary
Review Board for King County for their mandatory 45-day review.

PUBLIC HEARING
BOEING SUBDISTRICT 1B CONCEPTUAL PLAN
November 7, 2005
In 2003, the City of Renton and The Boeing Company entered into a Development Agreement
whereby changes were made to the City's Comprehensive Plan that allowed rezoning of certain
Boeing Company properties. This rezone allowed a wide range of uses under various scenarios
that anticipated vibrant, mixed -use development throughout and area designated as Renton's
Urban Center -North (UC-N). The UC-N was divided into three Subdistricts. A conceptual plan
for Subdistrict I (between North 8t' Street and Lake Washington Drive) was approved as part
of the Development Agreement and amended by the City Council in October 2004. The current
Conceptual Plan submitted for approval applies to Subdistrict 1B (see reverse).
A conceptual plan must be submitted for each subdistrict prior to subdivision, development, sale,
or other alteration of the property not related to airplane manufacturing or supporting uses. The
owner of Subdistrict 1B, The Boeing Company, seeks to subdivide and sell a portion of the
property. Therefore, they have submitted a Conceptual Plan for Subdistrict 1B.
The Subdistrict 1B Conceptual Plan should further the Vision of the Comprehensive Plan for the
Urban Center — North. Upon review, staff finds that the Subdistrict 1B Conceptual Plan is
consistent with the City's Vision for this area, which anticipates that the southern portion of
District 1, between North 6t` Street and North 8t' Street will be redeveloped into a vibrant,
pedestrian -oriented, mixed -use district. A key feature of the proposed Subdistrict 1B Conceptual
Plan is the integration of existing and new structures, interlaced with pedestrian circulation
patterns, internal parking areas (both surface and structured), and employment -generating uses.
Staff is recommending that Council approve, with conditions, the Boeing Subdistrict 113
Conceptual Plan in accordance with the December 2003 Development Agreement between the
City of Renton and The Boeing Company for the 50.7-acre portion of the Boeing Renton Plan,
known as Subdistrict 1B.

DATE: October 25, 2005
TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor
FROM: Dennis Culp, Community Services Administrator
SUBJECT: Recommendation for New Appointment to Renton
Municipal Arts Commission
City code allows for twelve members on the Municipal Arts Commission, requiring that
at least four members be Renton residents and one member be under the age of 21 years.
Currently, there are ten members on the Arts Commission —three males and seven
females —leaving two vacancies. Nine members are Renton residents.
Denise Bisio submitted an Application for Community Services in May 2005 to fill
Diana Hagen's term, which expired. She attended a meeting of the Renton Municipal
Arts Commission and was interviewed after the October 5th session by a panel of
commission members.
Staff concurs with the members of the Renton Municipal Arts Commission and would
like to recommend the appointment of Denise to the arts commission.
Denise has an extensive Arts background including graphic design experience, archival
framing, art preservation, and local knowledge of artists and art organizations. Although
a Seattle resident, she is currently employed within the Renton City limits and provides
customer service support to other arts organizations within the Puget Sound Area.
She is energetic and has expressed an eagerness to take on tasks. We believe she would
be a dedicated contributor and good addition to the Municipal Arts Commission
Thank you for your consideration of this new appointment.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
On September 27, 2005, Robert West, 3904 Park Ave. N., Renton, 98056, filed an application for
(partial) release of a utilities easement located between Lake Washington Blvd. N. and Wells
Ave. N. at N. 37th St. The easement was granted by the City in 1970 and was recorded under
King County Recording No. 6660972. An application filing fee of $250 has been paid.
The technical services section of the Utility Systems Division has since reviewed the Application
for Release of Easement, and determined that the (partial) release of easement petition is valid
and the legal description is accurate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
• Council action to determine whether the proposal should be granted, the classification of the
easement, whether there are conditions of the approval, and whether an appraisal is necessary
to determine the amount of compensation to be paid, if any, and
• If so approved, adoption of an ordinance to finalize the release if all determinations have been
made and all conditions have been met within 90 days of Council approval.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
►91
A public housing agency, Renton Housing Authority (RHA), has proposed to lease a City -owned house
on the Edlund Property at 17611 103`d Ave. SE, Renton, WA 98055 for $1 per year. The original
term of the lease would be for five years.
Business terms include the opportunity to extend the lease in one-year increments at the end of the
original five-year term; retention of termination rights with 60-day notice by both the City and the
tenant; a requirement for RHA to make necessary improvements entirely at their own expense,
including the installation of a sewer line to the City's stub; obl igation for RHA to perform all
maintenance and repairs entirely at their own expense, as well as to pay for all utilities; RHA assumes
any excise tax liability; and the obligation for RHA to acquire and maintain liability insurance that
meets City risk management guidelines.
City staff has negotiated the business terms of the proposed lease. Legal and Risk Management have
reviewed the proposed lease.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the proposed lease to the Renton Housing Authority and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk
to sign the agreement.

SUBJECT: Proposed Lease
Issue
Should the City sign a property lease with Renton Housing Authority (RHA) for a house
on the Edlund property?
Recommendations
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the lease with Renton Housing Authority.
Background:
• In June of 2004 the City purchased the Edlund/Korum Property on Carr Road in
unincorporated King County for future development as a park.
• There are two houses and a barn on the site. City staff showed the houses to three
agencies that expressed an interest in leasing - RHA, Vision House, and Way
Back Inn. The house fronting Carr Road was leased to Vision House in
November 2004 for $1 per year. Vision House assumed all liability, maintenance,
and care for the house.
• For the other house (farm house), a lease was created and approved by Council
with a tenant caretaker but the septic system failed before the tenant signed the
lease, and he decided to move elsewhere.
• City staff researched sewage disposal options for the farm house. Because of the
proximity of wetlands and a Class 2 Stream, and because of site grades, it was not
possible to repair or replace the septic system. A number of routes for a
connection to Soos Creek Sewer and Water District sewer were researched and
priced.
• In the meanwhile, RHA expressed an interest in leasing the farm house for a
family with 10 children that was being displaced from other housing. RHA
submitted a proposal, copy attached. RHA recognized that the farm house would
require significant improvements in order to be habitable. They earmarked
$15,000 for a sewer connection and "sundry" materials for the house.

Information Memo: RHA Proposed Lease
Page 2 of 2
November 4, 2005
• The City earlier received an easement from Steve Jensen Homes, developer of the
adjacent The Pointe at Sunnybrook Subdivision, and completed the sewer
connection to the Edlund property boundary.
• City staff worked with King County DDES to obtain a permit to extend the sewer
connection from the Edlund boundary to the Farm House for a total distance of
roughly 278 feet. RHA has agreed to fund this section of the sewer.
• The proposed lease contains the following business points:
o Annual rent is $1 for a five-year lease. The lease is automatically
renewable in one-year extensions.
o Termination is allowed by either party with a 60-day notice.
o RHA is responsible for all construction -related costs to make the house
safe and suitable for their use.
o RHA will reimburse the City for the cost of the King County Short Form
permit.
o RHA is responsible for all repairs, maintenance, and utilities.
o RHA shall provide $1,000,000 liability insurance and shall name the City
as an additional insured, and shall hold the City harmless.
o The lease was reviewed by the City Attorney and the City's Human
Resource and Risk Management Administrator.
Conclusion:
The Farm House has little potential use to the City as a park structure. However, it can
be made habitable for use by RHA for a special -needs family. The associated sewer
installation and house repairs committed to by RHA are also an advantage for future
property uses by the City.

term of this Lease or any extended term.

shall be $1.00 per year, plus any applicable leasehold taxes. The rent shall be payable annually on or
before the anniversary of the Commencement Date. The parties acknowledge that the rental amount
agreed to for the initial 5-year term of the Lease reflects the substantial costs that RHA will incur in
order to be able to use the Premises for its intended purpose.

One Mi Ilion Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per year. The City shall be named as an additional insured for
any damages, claims, causes of action or other actions caused by RHA's, or its tenants', use of the
Premises.

liability and waive all right of recovery against each other for any loss from perils insured against,
but only to the extent insured against under, and in the amount actually received from, their
respective insurance policies, including any extended coverage and endorsements thereto; provided,

employees, agents and tenants resulting from the Premises or by reason of the Premises, or any

expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees for the defense thereof, arising from or incident to the
activities conduct by RHA or RHA's tenants, or from any breach or default of RHA in the
performance of any of its obligations hereunder, or from any act of negligence of RHA, its agents,
contractors, employees, tenants, or licensees, in or about the Premises. If any such claim or action
within this paragraph is brought against the City, RHA shall defend it by counsel reasonably

G. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1. Proiect Description/Background
The subject property is located just west of 1809 Duvall Avenue NE. The applicant has proposed to subdivide
an 18,472 square foot (0.42 —acre) parcel into two lots. The property is currently vacant. Both lots are
intended for future development of detached single-family homes.
The lots are proposed at the following sizes: 6,283 square feet (Lot 1) and 7,162 square feet (Lot 2). Both lots
would be considered interior lots. The applicant is proposing to serve both lots via a 30-foot wide public
roadway connected to Duvall Avenue NE.
The subject site slopes down slightly from east to west with a vertical change of approximately 6 feet over the
width of the parcel. The subject site is predominately vegetated with grass lawn as well as some mature trees.
The applicant is proposing to remove 11 mature trees as part of the short plat.
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.
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 because it allows forthe future construction of two
new single-family homes and promotes 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 two lots; Lot 1 is 6,283 square feet; Lot 2 is 7,162 square feet. Both of
the proposed lots exceed the minimum lot size requirements.
Policy LU-36. Allow developments at 9.7 dwelling units per acre on infill parcels of one-half acre
or less as an incentive to encourage single-family small lot development.
The net density of the proposed subdivision is 6.45 dwelling units per acre, which is within the
permitted density range.
Policy H-4. Encourage infill development as a means to increase capacity.
The proposal will create one additional residential lot and result in the construction of two new
single-family residences, thereby increasing density within a currently developed residential area.

REPORT AND DECISION; PROJECT LUA-03-088, SHPL-A Page 4 of 9
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 divide an existing vacant lot into two lots and allow
for the future construction of two new single-family dwelling.
The R-8 zone allows densities ranging from a minimum of 5.0 to a maximum of 9.7 dwelling units
per net acre for lots one-half gross acre or less in size. Net density is calculated by deducting
sensitive areas, areas intended for public right-of-way, and private easements serving three or
more lots from the gross acreage of the site. The subject property does not contain any sensitive
areas or private access easements, but does contain 5,027 square feet proposed for dedication to
the City of Renton for use as right-of-way. The net site area of the property is 13,445 square feet
(18,472 square feet — 5,027 = 13,445 or 0.31 acre). The division of the existing lot into two lots
would result in a net density of 6.45 dwelling units per acre (2 lots/ 0.31 acre = 6.458 du/ac), which
is within the allowed density range of 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. Staff will verify that future development on the
proposed lots meets lot coverage restrictions at the time of building permit submittal.
Setbacks in the R-8 zone for interior lots along streets existing as of March 1, 1995 are as follows:
20-foot front yard, 5-foot side yard, and 20-foot rear yard. While no building construction is
proposed at this time, both lots appear to have adequate area to facilitate new single-family
residences that meet the required setbacks. In addition, each lot appears to have adequate area
to provide two off-street parking spaces as required by the parking regulations. Staff will verify
compliance with setbacks and parking requirements for the proposed lots at the time of building
permit submittal.
c) Compliance with Subdivision Regulations
Streets: The existing 30-foot wide right of way will be paved as part of this private development
proposal. The street will be named, and may result in existing houses accessing from the right-of-
way being assigned new addresses.
The Subdivision Regulations require installation of street improvements including curb, gutter, and
sidewalk along the site's street frontage (RMC section 4-6-060), unless previously installed or
waived or deferred through the City of Renton Board of Public Works. In order for the subject
proposal to meet the requirements for half street improvement, the right-of-way for the half street
improvement must be a minimum 35 feet with a with 28 feet paved. The applicant is required to
install a 6-foot sidewalk with curb and gutter along the street frontage and paving a minimum of 20
feet from the project site to Duvall Avenue NE. In order to accommodate the required
improvements, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant be required to
dedicate the cul-de-sac bulb and an additional strip along the northeast frontage of the site, as
shown in the short plat drawings received November 12, 2003.
Due to the length of the street, a cul-de-sac with a minimum paved radius of forty-five feet (45')
with a right-of-way radius of fifty-five feet (55') for the turnaround is required. The applicant has
requested a street modification to allow a cul-de-sac with 45 feet of paving, but without additional
dedicated right-of-way. The parking modification request and response are included in the official
land use file. The requested street modification was evaluated and approved by Kayren Kittrick,
Development Engineering Supervisor, subject to the following conditions:
1. The pavement to the access from Duvall Avenue NE shall be marked as afire lane until such
time as the full width is developed. No parking is allowed on any pavement section 20 feet or
less in width.
2. No parking is allowed in the emergency turnaround. Paint and signage will be required.
3. A 10-foot wide easement shall be provided adjacent to and along the full curve of the cul-de-
sac for installation of a sidewalk and all additional utilities. The sidewalk and utility easement
shall be noted on the face of the short plat.
Staff recommends as a condition of short plat approval that the applicant be required to comply
with the conditions of parking modification approval prior to recording of the short plat.

REPORT AND DECISION; PROJECT LUA-03-088, SHPL-A Page 5 of 9
The proposed subdivision is anticipated to generate additional traffic on the City's street system. In
order to mitigate transportation impacts, staff recommends as a condition of short plat approval
that the applicant pay a Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per net new average daily
trip attributed to the project prior to recording of the short plat. Each lot is expected to generate
approximately 9.57 new average weekday trips. The fee for the proposed short plat is estimated at
$1,435.50 ($75.00 x 9.57 trips x 2 lots = $1,435.50).
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 will
create two lots, both of which meet the minimum lot size requirements. Lot 1 is approximately
6,283 square feet; Lot 2 is approximately 7,162 square feet.
The proposed lots also comply with the R-8 requirements for minimum lot width (50 feet for interior
lots) and minimum lot depth (65 feet). Lot 1 is 80.01 feet wide and approximately 70 feet deep at
the shallowest point; Lot 2 is 60.01 feet wide and approximately 88 feet deep at the shallowest
point. Both lots appear to have adequate building area for the construction of a single-family
residence meeting the setback, lot coverage, and parking requirements of the zone. Compliance
with these requirements will be verified at the time of building permit submittal.
The size, shape, orientation, and arrangement of the proposed lots comply with the requirements
of the Subdivision Regulations and development standards of the R-8 zone. Both of the proposed
lots are rectangular in shape, with the exception of the curved area to be dedicated as right-of-way.
d) Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries
Access: Both lots have frontage on a 30-foot public right-of-way connecting to Duvall Avenue NE.
The applicant is proposing to improve the right of way with 20 feet of paving from the subject site to
Duvall Avenue NE, with half -street improvements along the frontage of the site, unless deferred or
waived by the Board of Adjustment. For more information, see discussion of streets under
"Compliance with Subdivision Regulations" above.
Topography. The subject site slopes down from the east side to the west side at a grade of less
than 5 percent. The subject site is predominately vegetated with grass lawn as well as some
mature fir and cedar trees. The applicant proposes to remove approximately 11 trees on the
property and within the public roadway. The applicant is proposing to remove approximately eight
10- to 12-inch firs, one 44-inch fir, one 30-inch fir, and one 32-inch cedar tree.
Relationship to Existing Uses: The properties surrounding the subject parcel to the east, west,
and north are zoned Residential — 8 Dwelling Units Per Acre (R-8); the parcels to the south are
located in an unincorporated area of King County zoned for single family. The proposal is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Development Standards, which encourage
residential infill 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 mitigation fees. In order to provide for public safety, staff recommends
that the 20-foot wide access road be posted "No Parking" prior to short plat recording. To mitigate
the potential impacts of the proposal on City emergency services, staff recommends as a condition
of approval that a Fire Mitigation Fee, based on $488.00 per new single-family house, be paid prior
to recording of the short plat. The fee is estimated at $976.00 ($488 x 2 homes = $976.00).
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 existing park facilities generated
from this development, staff recommends as a condition of approval that a Park Mitigation Fee,
based on $530.76 per new single-family house, be paid prior to recording of the short plat. This
fee would contribute to the creation of new trails and facilities that may be utilized by future
residents. The fee is estimated at $1,061.52 ($530.76 x 2 homes = $1,061.52).
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. It is anticipated that the proposed short plat would result in
0.88 new children (0.44 X 2 dwellings = 0.88) to the local schools (Sierra Heights Elementary
shpltrpt. doc
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Baxter Meadows Short Plat
REPORT AND DECISION; PROJECT LUA-03-088, SHPL-A Page 6 of 9
School, McKnight Middle School, and Hazen High School). The Renton School District has
indicated they can accommodate the additional demand generated by this proposal.
Streets: The subject site is located west of Duvall Avenue NE in the 1800 block. Each of the
proposed lots has access to Duvall Avenue NE via a 30-foot wide public roadway fronting the north
property line of the parcel. The 30-foot wide public right-of-way is currently not paved and does not
have any improvements installed. The applicant will be responsible for improving the right-of-way
from Duvall Avenue NE to the west property line of the subject parcel. Please see above
discussion of streets under "Compliance with Subdivision Regulations" for more information on
required improvements, traffic mitigation fees and conditions recommended by staff.
Storm Water. The site is located in the Honey Creek drainage basin. There are storm water
facilities in Duvall Avenue NE to the south of the proposed short plat. The applicant submitted a
storm drainage report in compliance with the 1990 King County Drainage Manual. Water quality
will be required. A Surface Water System Development Charge of $715.00 for each lot will be
collected as part of the construction permit prior to the recording of the short plat.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities: There is an existing 12-inch water main and an existing 8-
inch sewer main in Duvall Avenue NE. An 8-inch water main extension is required to be installed
to serve the proposed development with domestic water service and fire protection. An additional
hydrant will be required to serve the proposed development. All new single-family construction
must have a fire hydrant capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 Gallons Per Minute (GPM)
located within 300 feet of the structure; if the single-family structure exceeds 3,600 square feet, the
minimum fire flow increases to 1,500 GPM and two hydrants are required within 300 feet of the
structure. All hydrants serving the short plat will be required to be fitted with Stortz fittings if they do
not already have them. A Water System Development Charge of $1,525.00 and a Sewer System
Development Charge of $900.00 will be collected for each lot as part of the construction permit,
prior to the recording of the short plat.

Applicant is seeking approval for the construction of a 27,528
square foot retail, office and creative workspace building and
site improvements in the CS zone. The applicant is also
requesting modifications and/or waivers from the
required/permitted setbacks along both Olympia and NE 4`h
Street.
Development Services Recommendation: Approve with
conditions
The Development Services Report was received by the
Examiner on May 20, 2003
PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Development Services Report, examining
available information on file with the application, field
checking the property and surrounding area; the Examiner
conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows:
MINUTES
The following minutes are a summary of the June 17, 2003 hearing.
The legal record is recorded on tape.
The hearing opened on Tuesday, June 17, 2003 at 9:03 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the
Renton City Hall. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner.
The following exhibits were entered into the record:

The Examiner, prior to this hearing, invited testimony from Long Range Planning, and it is the understanding
that that testimony is incorporated in Ms. Fiala's report. Two e-mails on that topic are part of the official file.
The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Susan Fiala, Associate Planner, Development
Services, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The subject property is located at
400 Olympia Avenue NE. South of the property is Greenwood Cemetery, to the west of the property is a self -
storage facility, and to the east there is a commercial strip retail and auto shop. North of the property is single-
family residential dwellings. The site is approximately 0.78 acres. The applicant is requesting environmental
review and Hearing Examiner site plan review approval for the construction of a 27,528 square foot retail, office
and creative workspace building and site improvements. This type of facility would provide flexible, affordable
office, retail and work spaces. The office/workspaces are small, ranging in size from approximately 60 to 400
square feet in size. Each space has a private locking entrance, with heat, electricity and phone/computer outlets.
T_he_F,x_aminer questioned that since it is CS zoned, what type of low-level manufacturing crafts might be
permitted or not permitted. Any uses in the building should be limited to what is normally permitted in the CS
zone, which would not be light industrial. It appears that crafts and hobbies might overstep some of those
bounds. When people inquire about business licenses that is when the checks are made on what is allowed or
not allowed in the particular zone. This appears to be a very informal leasing arrangement and someone wishing
to do some light industrial work, but not open a business, would not be required to obtain a business license.
Ms. Fiala stated that the types of uses that were provided relate to hobbies and crafts such as candle making,
antiquing, anything that would not emit any noise, odors, no welding, no auto repair. The retail would require a
business license.
The facility would be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Several retail spaces are proposed to be located on
the ground level along the NE 4th Street and Olympia Avenue NE frontages. One caretaker/manager's unit
would be located on the third level. The three-story structure would be approximately 33 feet in height, would
be constructed of metal and vinyl siding. All parking would be on the ground level, eight of the 43 proposed
parking spaces would be enclosed and designated for retail tenants. To provide light to the interior
offices/workspaces, the building is open in the middle section. The building would be secured with a card -key
access system.
On May 13, 2003 the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination ofNon- Sign] ficance-Mitigated,
for the project. No appeals of the Review were filed. There were two mitigation measures including Fire
Mitigation Fee and Transportation Mitigation Fee that the applicant will be required to pay prior to issuance of
building permits.
The subject site is designated Center Suburban on the City's Comprehensive Plan map. The purpose of
"centers" is to provide for a cohesive district, allowing a wide range of commercial and residential activities and
provide goods and services to serve as a visual and focal point for the surrounding residential area.
The Examiner inquired if the applicant proposed to use this as artist's lofts where people other than the caretaker
would live in this building. Ms. Fiala responded that that would not take place.
They are proposing to provide retail on the ground level, one being a coffee shop, and it is anticipated that other
retail spaces would provide for the surrounding neighborhood. There are two parking lots, they are designated
Urban Crafts Mixed Use
File No.: LUA-03-035, SA-H, 1"('F
July 3, 2003
Page 3
as tenant and retail parking lots. They are close to the building and have pedestrian connections to the store
fronts and main entries to the structure. They will provide adequate retail goods and services within Center
Suburban designations to encourage residents to shop locally for daily goods rather than driving to other areas.
Indoor storage is permitted as an accessory use and is also limited to store products related to the primary retail
and office uses.
The maximum lot coverage allowed in the CS zone is 65% for projects without structured parking. This
proposed project would be about 25% of the lot coverage. The applicant has requested a modification to
increase the front yard setback from 15 feet to 60 feet from NE 4'h Street. In an effort to provide parking for the
retail spaces located on the ground level, eight (8) standard sized parking spaces would be located between NE
41h Street and the building front. This pushes the building back from the street front. This parking strip would
be screened with the required 10-foot strip of irrigated landscaping. The landscaping continues along the
Olympia Avenue NE as well to provide screening of the parking lot. The applicant is trying to separate the high
traffic on NE 41h Street from any pedestrians. This site is very narrow, the applicant has oriented the building
more to Olympia Avenue NE due to the fact that NE 4'h Street is a high volume street. If NE 41h Street is ever
widened, there would be less conflict with the front of the building, it would already be set back, it would not
conflict with any street widening_
The minimum side yard along a street is 10 feet with a 10 foot landscaped strip, this side yard would be along
Olympia Avenue NE. The applicant is requesting a modification proposing that the building be set back five (5)
feet from the property line with a five foot sidewalk abutting the building. "Ten feet of landscaping would be
provided for approximately two-thirds of the length of Olympia Avenue NE, and the rest would be the 5-foot
modification. There are no required interior or rear yard setbacks as the adjacent and abutting properties are
zoned Commercial. however, the existing use of the property to the north is a single-family residence but it is
zoned Center Suburban. The applicant does propose to construct a six-foot high solid visual barrier, a
combination of a fence and retaining wall along the entire north property line. All existing vegetation, including
blackberries would be removed. There are no trees on the site.
The CS zone allows a maximum building height of 50 feet, the proposal is 33 feet thus meeting the zone
standard.
Parking requirements are based on use. The proposal is for a mixed use building that is to meet the total
requirements for parking by the sum of the requirements for those applicable uses within the building. A total of
43 parking spaces would be provided on site within two lots and individual garages. The applicant has
requested a parking modification in order to provide the required parking. Several additional spaces would be
compact spaces, 30% are allowed (13 spaces), they are proposing 17.
The site is currently vacant and covered with gravel, weeds and blackberries. There are no significant natural or
sensitive features on the site that would be impacted by the development.
The proposed mixed use development is expected to increase property values in the vicinity of the site.
Vehicular access to the site would be provided via Olympia Avenue NE, there would be no access immediately
from NE 4'h Street.
Fire and Police had indicated there are enough existing City facilities and resources to accommodate the subject
proposal provided that there is the appropriate Fire Mitigation Fee. Public Works has determined that there are
sufficient utilities in the area as long as code required improvements are made to the water and sewer
extensions.
Staff recommends approval of this project subject to conditions.

Glenn. Davis, Project Developer, 3232-24`h Avenue West, Seattle, WA 98199, with respect to the comment
about opening up to people wanting to do something similar in the zone regarding the modifications to the
setbacks at the south side of the project. This is a long skinny site, the fact that someone would have to walk
200-300 feet to get to the retail shops was the consideration in requesting this modification. Further stated RMC
4-9-200E which states that the reviewing official shall review and act upon site plans and certain criteria which
provide a frame or reference for developing the site, but are not intended to be inflexible standards_ The
Examiner stated that what they were referring to was the actual site plan, not setback plang that are usually
mandated, in this case the code does allow flexibility but probably a little less flexible than the site plan criteria.
Rick Brown, Architect, 4680 Rhodie Lane, Freeland, WA 98249, the question of height came up earlier, there
are actually two gables running north and south, the east building is somewhat smaller than the west because of
the width, it is 35-1/2 feet high to the ridge, the west building is 37.5-1/2 feet at the ridge and then there is a
small portion to the east that is a one-story building. Regarding the setbacks, the narrow lot, in terms of getting
enough parking within close proximity of the south retail, it just wasn't felt that they could get parking to the
east or west of the building. The building has a 90-foot width and putting the parking on the south side, avoids
parking on Olympia. This retail is a walk up, pick-up or drop off, and leave. It is not a place where you will
come and spend the day shopping.
James_Jaeger, Jaeger Engineering, 9419 South 2041h Place, Kent, WA 98031, regarding the request for the
variance to the front street setback, there are a couple of issues that can apply to this project, making it
somewhat unique. It is important to stress there is not, nor will there be an access to 41h Street. Also note that
our frontage along 41h Street is 93 feet after the 5-foot is deleted along Olympia, versus the 345 feet along
Olympia. There are two frontages with the major pedestrian access along Olympia rather than 41h. Without the
parking along the front, it is a great concern that Olympia would be used for parking to access those retail units.
There is also the potential expansion of 4'h Street, the right-of-way on the north side of 41h is 30 feet on the south
it is 40 feet, there is potential that the City could want another 10 feet of right-of-way. There is no center turn
lane. Another benefit this project is bringing to the City is the improvement to the existing conditions within
Olympia Avenue, the roadway, the water system and the sewer lines are extremely substandard right now.
Loren Anderson, Resident to the north, 465 Olympia Avenue NE, Renton, WA 98056, would like to thank the
developers for the wall and fence dividing my property from this proposed building. 1 understand that it was not
a required item, and I would really like to thank the developer for addressing our problem and suggestion some
sort of barrier. The Examiner asked to have the area pointed out on the map, apparently there is another lot
between Mr. Anderson and the proposed use. _Mr. Anderson stated that there is a small lot, actually it is on two
separate grades, his is an upper level grade and the lower lot, a vacant lot, is a lower level grade, but is part of
his property. With regard to the water and sewer lines, since 1950-1960 their main was on 41h Street, the
concern was that the water and sewer would be compromised by this development. That with the installation of
a new water and sewer service, the upgrade would be done without charge to them as property owners.
Kayren Kittrick, Development Services, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055 stated that costs would be
borne by the developer. The only additional costs that would possibly be generated to the property owner,
would be upgrading the meter. Upon questioning by the Examiner, Ms. Kittrick stated that the setback situation
was not ideal, but it does meet standards. Mr. Jaeger was correct that 4'h is currently under study and this little
section between Monroe and Union that creates a bottleneck in this vicinity, there would be the possibility that
at some time down the road the City would need 5 to 10-feet of the frontage of this property. The landscape
would be lost and the parking would be right in front.
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 10:12 a.m.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
The applicant, H. Lee Johnson of BDJS Associates, LLC, filed a request for approval of a Site Plan and
setback modifications for a building housing retail, office and work spaces.
The yellow file containing the staff report, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) documentation
and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit #1 .
The Environmental Review Committee (ERC) issued a Determination of Non -Significance - Mitigated
(DNS-M).
4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
The subject site is located at 400 Olympia Avenue NE. The site is on the northwest corner of the
intersection of Olympia and NE 4th Street. Monroe Avenue is located west of the site while Union
Avenue is located east.
The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 1480 enacted in April 1954.
7. The site is zoned CS (Center Suburban).
The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of Center Suburban uses, that is retail and residential uses that cater to
pedestrian and automobile traffic, but does not mandate such development without consideration of
other policies of the Plan.
9. The subject site is a rectangular parcel. The subject site is approximately 98 feet wide (east to west) by
345 feet deep. The 4th Street frontage is the narrower, 98-foot dimension. The City has requested a 5-
foot dedication along Olympia Avenue.
10. The subject site is approximately 33,802 square feet or 0.78 acres. The site is vacant and covered with
gravel, weeds and blackberries.
11. The parcel slopes upward to the north from approximately 344 feet near 4th to approximately 351 feet.
The land slopes upward more dramatically north of the subject site on neighboring properties.
12. The applicant proposes developing a building containing a mix of retail spaces on the ground level and
offices and workshops on the upper two floors.
13. The building will be a three-story building that will vary from approximately 35 feet 11.5 inches to 37
feet 5.5 inches at the ridge lines.
14. The building would contain 27,528 square feet of leaseable space. The building will have a footprint of
80 feet by 180 feet. The building will be open in the middle providing light and air to the interior spaces

by way of an atrium. The building is designed to allow driving access through the interior or atrium of
the building to access the interior garage bays.
15. Staff analyzed the parking requirements to various uses that may be located within the building
complex.
The following table outlines the required and provided parking:

The applicant proposes providing 43 parking stalls. Eight stalls would be located inside garage bays.
The remaining stalls would be in lots located north and south of the building. The applicant was granted
a modification from the parking standards to provide 17 compact stalls rather than the permitted 13
contact stalls. The modification was approved administratively. The reduction in stall size permits the
applicant to meet the parking requirements for the use. Larger stalls would not fit the site area.
16. The proposed stalls located along NE 4th Street require a modification by the Hearing Examiner. The
applicant has proposed a 60-foot setback to accommodate parking along the NE 4th frontage. The CS
zone requires a minimum 10-foot landscaped front yard and a maximum setback of only 15 feet. These
setbacks are intended to reduce the "strip commercial" appearance associated with parking on the street
frontage. A modification may be granted if the site plan demonstrates special design characteristics.
The applicant has proposed articulations, peaked rooflines and facade detailing to reduce the apparent
scale and bulk of the building to justify the modification.
17. The applicant has also requested a modification to reduce the I 0-foot sideyard setback along Olympia
Avenue NE. The applicant proposes a five-foot landscape strip along with a five-foot sidewalk abutting
the building. The applicant proposes street trees as well as shrubs in planting beds for 130 linear feet.
Staff recommended that the applicant be required to maintain any of the street plantings.
18. The applicant has suggested that the retail uses require parking that is more convenient and providing
parking to the rear of the building would discourage retail use. They also noted that the narrow
configuration of the lot makes developing a building and associated parking hard to provide on the
subject site.

19. Some staff were concerned that the interior garage stalls could be used for mini -storage which is not
permitted in the CS zone. This office was also concerned that granting the modification would create a
precedent.
20. The main access to the subject site will be via three driveways along Olympia Avenue NE. Staff did not
want any new driveways located along the NE, 4th Street arterial given the short frontage and proximity
to the 4th and Olympia intersection. The northernmost parking lot would not provide full internal
circulation and one aisle of parking would only be accessible directly from the sireet.
21. The applicant has proposed a 10-foot bermed landscaping strip along NE 4'h Street. This is intended to
screen the parking that would be created along NE 4th Street_ A pedestrian path would be located in the
middle to allow those using the sidewalk to enter the complex and gain access to the shops.
22. No interior or rear (west and north) yard setbacks are required or proposed. While the property to the
north of the subject site is zoned CS like the zoning on the subject site, it is used for a single-family
residence. Staff has recommended that a solid fence be erected to screen that residence from the
parking lot.
23. Section 4-2-120C.15 provides the criteria for altering the maximum setbacks:
15. The maximum setback may be modified by the Reviewing Official through the site
plan review process if the applicant can demonstrate that the site plan meets the following
criteria:
a. Orients development to the pedestrian through such measures as providing
pedestrian walkways beyond those required by the Renton Municipal Code (RMC),
encouraging pedestrian amenities and supporting alternatives to single occupant vehicle
(SOV) transportation; and
b. Creates a low scale streetscape through such measures as fostering distinctive
architecture and mitigating the visual dominance of extensive and unbroken parking
along the street front; and
C. Promotes safety and visibility through such measures as discouraging the creation of
hidden spaces, minimizing conflict between pedestrian and traffic and ensuring adequate
setbacks to accommodate required parking and/or access that could not be provided
otherwise.
Alternatively, the Reviewing Official may also modify the maximum setback
requirement if the applicant can demonstrate that the preceding criteria cannot be met;
however, those criteria which can be met shall be addressed in the site plan:
d. Due to factors including but not limited to the unique site design requirements or
physical site constraints such as critical areas or utility easements the maximum setback
cannot be met; or
e. One or more of the above criteria would not be furthered or would be impaired by
compliance with the maximum setback; or
f. Any function of the use which serves the public health, safety or welfare would be
materially impaired by the required setback.
24. Staff indicated that the City is studying the possible widening of NE 4`h in this vicinity. if
such widening occurred most of the landscaping might be removed and the parking lot
would then be immediately adjacent to the street and sidewalk.

CONCLUSIONS:
The site plan ordinance provides a number of specific criteria for reviewing a site plan. Those criteria
are generally represented in part by the following enumeration:
a. Conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
b. Conformance with the Building and Zoning Codes; "
C. Mitigation of impacts on surrounding properties and uses;
Mitigation of the impacts of the proposal on the subject site itself,
Conservation of property values;
Provision for safe and efficient vehicle and pedestrian circulation;
g. Provision of adequate light and air;
Adequacy of public services to accommodate the proposed use;
The proposed use satisfies these and other particulars of the ordinance.
2. On first blush, this office was concerned about the precedent of allowing parking along the NE 4th
Street frontage and moving the building back 60 feet from the property line as well as not providing the
standard landscaping and setback along Olympia Avenue NE. Then it did appear that the property's size
and dimensions might justify relaxing the setback standards so that the applicant could develop its
proposed building. Further thought and reflection changed the outcome once again and convinced this
office that what really was the issue is that while the building seems nicely designed and provided
interesting features, it is just too much building for too small of a lot and a too constrained lot. The
applicant seeks too much relief when the only real issue is that the building is too large and demands too
much parking, which cannot be reasonably accommodated in this case.
The applicant noted that the Site Plan Ordinance contains language that permits flexibility in
interpreting its criteria. That is very true. But we are actually dealing with the standards of the
underlying CS zoning which requires the maximum setback at 15 feet for the front yard and 10 feet
along a street oriented side yard and not just site plan criteria. And while the CS zoning does permit
alterations of that setback for good reason, the reasons should be compelling to avoid creating a
precedent. Clearly, most retail establishments want their customers to park right in front of their place
of business. Convenience would have them as close as possible. But the CS Zone that allows retail
uses actually is intended to discourage just this type of parking arrangement. It wants buildings now
erected in that zone to address the street and not be oriented to provide "convenient" parking. How else
can the CS Zone's narrow setback be interpreted than discouraging parking right in front of the building,
between the sidewalk and street and the building. It is clear that the CS zone was not first and foremost
concerned with getting parking in front of the retail stores as it was with moving buildings closer to the
street.
4. No, while it can be admitted that the applicant has a rather small, narrow lot those limitation in this case
should not be used to punch a hole in the CS' setback and parking standards. Rather the applicant has
Urban Crafts Mixed Use
File No.: LIIA-03-035, SA-H, ECF
July 3, 2003
Page 9
designed a building that is too large for this confined, CS zoned site. Not only does the applicant need a
parking modification to allow additional compact parking stalls since it cannot meet this larger
building's parking requirements with the full complement of regular sized stalls but it also seeks to
provide parking in front of the building and reduce the required landscaping and setback along its
second street frontage, along Olympia.
The applicant is no different than any other developer or applicant building in the CS Zone. The
applicant wants its lessees to be able to have parking in front of their respective shops. flow is that
different than any future applicant in the CS zone who wants the same treatment. Merely, creating a
slightly more decorative building facade could be used by one and all to gut the intent of the CS Zone's
setback standards so that all future retail developments in this and other CS zoned areas have parking
between the building's shops and the roadway and sidewalk.
6. This office believes that when adopting the CS standards there was a clear intent to create a different
aesthetic to urban and suburban street design. It was intended to create a more pleasing frontage and to
prevent parking right along the street. There was a clear intent to avoid what is commonly known as
"strip commercial" development. The proposal does not demonstrate that the modification is justified in
this case.
This office therefore, believes that in order to clarify this objective by the City, that further City Council
review might be warranted. In order to get that further review, this office believes that denying the
modifications along both NF. 4th Street and Olympia Avenue NE will probably result in an appeal.
Such an appeal will permit that further review. While this office is aware that denying the modifications
may seem harsh but the applicant can redesign the building to meet the constraints of their lot. A
smaller building might allow parking on the interior, west side of the building or maybe this lot is too
small and really can only be used for a small-scale series of shops where parking would be located
directly to the rear or north of the building where rear doors would provide that direct access to the
parking from the shops rather than a three-story building.
8. In order to allow a thorough review of the applicant's proposal by the City Council if an appeal occurs
this office will review the remainder of the proposal as if the modifications were approved and the site
plan could be executed as proposed.
Site Plan
9. The proposed mixed use building appears to be compatible with the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. The retail space is definitely compatible with the Center Suburban designation
since those shops can provide retail services to residents of the surrounding Highlands area. Similar,
small offices can provide business services. Clearly, craft workspaces will have to be limited to the
types of uses permitted in the CS zone and not be too industrial in nature. Similarly, the interior, bay
garages should not be used for mini storage since this is not a use suggested for the CS zone. Therefore,
a condition should be placed on the development that the garages may only be used for parking and not
any long term storage or shop use.
10. It would appear that the use meets the various bulk and height limitations of the Zoning Code. It does
not meet the setback or landscape requirements along NE 41h or along Olympia but modifications, if
approved would permit the building to be developed as designed. The building does appear to address
pedestrian access and contains some enhanced facade and roof treatment to make it appear less bulky

but clearly, parking in front of the building does not provide the most aesthetic approach to building
design. Compliance with the Building and Fire Codes will be determined when a building permit
application is submitted.
11. The development of what has been a vacant lot will have impacts on surrounding uses. A three-story
building will definitely alter the views and aesthetics for the adjacent residential property north of the
si
te. But the zoning on both the subject site and adjacent site to the north permits commercial
development. A fence can only provide so much buffering but it will help against the proposed parking
along the north side of the property but will clearly not screen a three-story building. The fence
suggested by staff should be required.
12. The atrium design will provide air and light to the interior spaces of the proposed building. On the
whole the building is large for the site which is apparent since it needs three modifications to
accommodate its parking in front of the building, reduce its regular stalls to compact stalls and reduce
its landscaping setback along Olympia Avenue NE. The landscaping appears reasonable given the
constraints of a large building being developed on this site. Again, this office believes a smaller
building would provide a better overall site plan.
13. The pedestrian and vehicular access appear reasonable. Eliminating driveways along NE 4`h will make
for a safer arterial for the general public. The applicant will be providing sidewalks and amenities.
14. The site is in an urban area where sewer, water and transportation services are readily available.
15. In conclusion, the Site Plan is overbuilt for this small site and the modifications are not justified as they
would create a precedent that other retail developers would covet in other locations in the CS Zone. The
Site Plan though appears to have a very nicely designed building if a larger lot could be provided to
accommodate it.
DECISION:
The Site Plan is not approved as the modifications needed to permit it to be developed as proposed are
not justified.
Should the City Council determine that the Site Plan is appropriate and the modifications are appropriate, they
should consider imposing the following conditions:
The applicant shall comply with the conditions imposed by the ERC.
A condition shall be placed on the development that the garages may only be used for parking
and not any long term storage or shop use.
3. The property owner shall maintain all street trees and associated landscaping located within the
right-of-way in perpetuity.
4. The applicant shall submit a set of plan reductions (8-1/2 x 11) PMT's, of all revised drawings
prior to the issuance of building permits.
5. The applicant shall provide tenants and future tenants with a list of uses that are permitted in the
CS zone and shall inform them that other uses are prohibited.

The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one) communications may occur
concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in
private with any decision -maker concerning the proposal. Decision -makers in the land use process include both
the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council.
All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all
interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the
evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court.
The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as
Appeals to the City Council.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The petitioners submitted a 10% Notice of Intent petition to the City Clerk on September 28,
2005 and the signatures on it were certified by the King County Department of Assessments on
October 4, 2005. The proposed 15.1-acre annexation site is located in Renton's Potential
Annexation Area along the west and east sides of Union Avenue NE (132nd Avenue SE) between
NE 271h Street (SE 95th Way), if extended, on the north and NE 261h Street (SE 98th Street) if
extended, on the south. If extended, its western boundary would be Queen Avenue NE (128th
Avenue SE), and its eastern boundary would be approximately Vashion Place NE, if extended.
State law requires the Council to hold a public meeting with the proponents to consider their
request, within 60-days of their submittal. If Council accepts the 10% Notice of Intention petition,
the Administration recommends that it authorize circulation of a 60% Direct Petition, based upon
assessed value. Such a petition must specify on its face that future zoning will be consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan and that property owners will be required to assume their fair share of
the City's outstanding indebtedness, paying the same rate as all other City property owners.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Council set November 21, 2005 for a public meeting to consider the 10% Notice of Intention to
Commence Annexation Proceedings petition and possible future zoning for the proposed Perkins
Annexation.

SUBJECT: Proposed Perkins Annexation 10% Notice of Intent
ISSUE:
The City is in receipt of a Notice of Intent to annex approximately 15.47 acres by the direct
petition method (Figure 1). State law requires that the Council hold a public meeting with
annexation proponents within 60-days of receipt of a 10% Notice of Intent petition, to decide
whether to accept, reject, or geographically modify the proposal, whether to require the
assumption of bonded indebtedness, and whether to require the simultaneous adoption of city
zoning if the proposed annexation is successful.
RECOMMENDATION:
On the basis of the following analysis, the Administration recommends that Council accepts the
10% Notice of Intent petition. If Council concurs, the Administration recommends that it take
the following actions (pursuant to RCW 35A.14.120):
• Authorize the circulation of the 60% Direct Petition to Annex for the 15.47-acre area; and,
• Require that property owners within the proposed annexation area assume a proportional
share of the City's outstanding indebtedness and accept zoning consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The rectangular shaped proposed Perkins Annexation site was submitted to the City on
September 28, 2005.
Location: The proposed 15.47-acre, rectangular shaped, Perkins Annexation is located
immediately north of Sierra Heights Elementary School. A power line easement
traverses its western quarter and its eastern portion is traversed by Union Avenue NE
(132nd Avenue SE). The site abuts the City limits on its eastern boundary. Its western

Location: The proposed 15.47-acre, rectangular shaped, Perkins Annexation is located
immediately north of Sierra Heights Elementary School. A power line easement
traverses its western quarter and its eastern portion is traversed by Union Avenue NE
(132"d Avenue SE). The site abuts the City limits on its eastern boundary. Its western
boundary is 128th Avenue SE, if extended, and its eastern boundary is basically the
eastern side of 132"d Avenue SE and one parcel on its eastern side. Its northern boundary
would be SE 95th Way, if extended, and its southern boundary would be SE 98th Street, if
extended.
2. Assessed value: The 2005 assessed valuation for the subject annexation site, at current
development, is $828,000.
3. Natural features: The site slopes downward to the north, dropping almost 100 feet on its
southern boundary (Figure 3, Topography). The site drains north to the May Creek
canyon and is approximately t/4 mile south of the creek itself. Also, about 10% of the
annexation site contains steep slopes that are considered to have high erosion potential.
4. Existing land uses: Existing development includes three single-family detached
dwellings and their associated structures. Most existing development is located adjacent
to SE 132"d Avenue SE (Union Avenue NE). Existing lots vary in size from 1/2 of an
acre up to 13.5 acres (Figure 4, Existing Structures).
5. Existingzg_ King County zoning is R-4, which allows a base density of four units
per g oss acre, and up to 6 units per gross acre with incentives and transfer of density
credits. These higher densities are comparable to those allowed under Renton's R-8
zone.
6. Comprehensive Plan: Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject annexation
site as Residential Low Density (RLD). This designation would allow either R-1 at a
maximum of one unit per net acre, or R-4 zoning at a maximum density of four units per
net acre. The latter is about half the density that would be allowed under the current
County zoning.
7. Public services: All responding departments and divisions noted that the annexation
represents a logical extension of their respective services and systems. Specific
comments follow.
Water Utility. The subject area is within the City's water service area. There appear to
be no problems or deficiencies in the existing system since a 12-inch water line runs
north along Union Avenue NE (132"d Avenue SE) as far north as NE 27th Place, at the
current time. This line has a capacity of 2,500 gallons per minute and is owned and
operated by the City of Renton.
Sewers. The annexation site is located within the Renton Sewer Service Area and future
sewers would be extended by developer extension, as the annexation area develops.
Sewer exists to the east and south of Siena Heights Elementary School in those areas
with the City already. Staff saw no problems in serving this area.

Page 3
Parks. The City has a shortfall of both neighborhood and community parkland in
portions of the area to the south. In this case, however, Sierra Heights Park is located
almost immediately to the west of the annexation site. It is anticipated that this and other
County parks will be transferred over to the City when these portions of Renton's PAA
annex. Assuming only development costs, the estimated prorated cost from future
development of improving this park is an estimated $15,212.90. This one time estimated
cost is less than the estimated $22,823 the City would receive from collecting its Parks
Mitigation Fee, based upon the development of 43 new homes.
Fire. The area is currently served by Fire District #25. Renton currently provides fire
suppression services to the District under contract. Upon annexation, the City would
continue to provide fire prevention and suppression services for the 15.47-acre area, but
do so as a basic City service rather than under contract with another district.
Police. With an estimated future population of approximately 107 people for this
annexation, the Police Department states that there will eventually be a need for
additional officers to serve this and other recent annexations. Police estimate there will
be an annual call for service for each of the 107 residents eventually living within the
annexation area.
Surface Water. The proposed annexation drains to the north into the May Creek canyon,
a few hundred feet to the north. Staff notes that because of flooding problems in the
lower reaches of the creek, future development should be subject to stream protection
storm water detention standards, such as the 2005 King County Surface Water Design
Manual, Level 2 dictates or equivalent standards adopted by the City. Public storm drain
systems do not exist within the annexation area. However, there is an existing 24"
culvert that discharges across the property and presents problems for downstream
residents. Staff is recommending that any future developers of the site be required to
construct a downstream conveyance system that will discharge away from existing
residents. In addition, future developers are encouraged to use storm water infiltration
systems to reduce surface water runoff. At build -out, annual maintenance and operating
costs of developer provided drainage systems is estimated to be $3,590 per year.
Revenues at build -out are estimated to be $2,975 a year, in today's dollars.
Transportation. Staff notes that additional transportation staff would not be required at
this time. They also note that Union Avenue NE is an important community collector
and that future street improvements would be required to bring it up to City standards.
Additionally, they note that the cost of new curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and street lighting
abutting the proposed annexation area and/or new access streets within the annexation
area would be at the expense of existing and new property owners, as the area develops.
ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION:
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:
Renton's Comprehensive Plan annexation policies generally support this proposed
annexation. The subject site is within the City's Potential Annexation Area and has been
subject to development pressure under the King County Comprehensive Plan, zoning,
Proposed Perkins Annexation 10% Notice of Intent
October 20, 2005
Page 4
and subdivision regulations (Policies LU-36 and LU-37). The area would also be
available for urbanization under Renton's Residential Low Density land use designation.
Renton is the logical provider of most urban infrastructure and services to the area
(Policy LU-38). Policy LU-43.1 states that, in general, the greater the contiguity with the
city limits, the more favorable the annexation. The area proposed for annexation abuts
the City limits along its eastern boundary only at this time. With the pending annexation
of Sierra Heights Elementary School, the annexation site would abut the City along
approximately 50% of its perimeter. Also, the proposed annexation does not divide an
existing established neighborhood (Policy LU-43.4).
2. Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives:
(from RCW 36.93.180)
a. Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities;
The proposed annexation would cause no disruption to the larger community. As
noted above, the site is relatively under -developed at the current time.
b. Use ofphysical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water, highways,
and land contours;
Except for a small area, boundaries follow existing city boundaries, streets, or parcel
lines.
c. Creation and preservation of logical service areas;
Water and sewer service boundaries will not change; neither will school district
boundaries. As noted above, Renton will take over the 15.47-acres it now provides
service to for Fire District 25, upon annexation. Pursuant to state law, there will be
no change in the garbage service provider for at least seven years.
d. Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries;
The new City boundary resulting from this and the pending annexation of Sierra
Heights Elementary School annexation would be more regular than the existing City
boundary. This boundary is considered interim, as this area is located within
Renton's PAA, and further annexations are anticipated in the near future in this area.
e. Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and encouragement of
incorporations of cities in excess of ten thousand population in heavily populated
urban areas;
Not applicable. No incorporations are proposed in this area.
f. Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts;
Not applicable. There are no inactive special purpose districts here.
g. Adjustment of impractical boundaries;
This annexation is not being proposed to adjust what are considered impractical
boundaries. Further annexations in this portion of Renton's PAA are anticipated in
the near future.
Proposed Perkins Annexation 10% Notice of Intent
October 20, 2005
Page 5
h. Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities or towns of unincorporated
areas which are urban in character;
King County has designated this area for urban development because of its location
within the Urban Growth Boundary. The County has also indicated that it wants to
divest itself from providing urban services to these unincorporated urban areas by
turning them over to cities. Because the subject site is within Renton's PAA,
annexation is appropriate.
i. Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long term
productive agricultural and resource use by a comprehensive plan adopted by the
county legislative authority.
Not applicable. No portions of the proposed annexation area are rural or designated
for long term productive agricultural use in the King County or Renton
Comprehensive Plans.
3. A fiscal analysis for the proposed annexation is attached. This analysis indicates that the
proposed annexation would initially provide the City approximately $96 a year; however,
at full development with an estimated 46 homes, the City would receive $11,403 a year
more than it spends to serve the area. There is an estimated one-time pro -rated cost to the
City of $15,213 for park development, based on the estimated 107 people who would
ultimately live here.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed Perkins Annexation is essentially consistent with relevant County and City
annexation policies, as well as Boundary Review Board objectives for annexation. Reviewing
staff has identified no impediments to the provision of City services to the area.

Officially Recognized Neighborhood Standards
Shall the City of Renton's Neighborhood Program add more defined standards for
eligibility of being an Officially Recognized Neighborhood?
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The City of Renton's Neighborhood Program began with a vision: "To promote positive
communication between residents and City government." The City is committed to
promoting neighborhoods by supporting community involvement to make all
neighborhoods better places to live. The program fosters a sense of community by
helping residents address specific concerns and provides a way for building successful
neighborhoods that reflect positively on the entire community.
The benefits of being a recognized neighborhood are:
■ A city liaison to work with a neighborhood,
■ Eligibility funding for neighborhood grant projects and newsletters,
■ Eligibility funding for neighborhood picnics, and
■ Information about the neighborhood on the City's website.
There are currently 32 neighborhoods that are officially recognized by the Neighborhood
Program. As the program continues to grow, it is crucial that standards are established to
ensure that neighborhoods eligible for City funding and effort are organized in the spirit
of the Program and adequately represent residents of the areas around which they are
organized.
Staff proposes that the following standards be applied to neighborhoods seeking official
recognition:
h:\ednsp\council\issue papers -agenda bills-ctte reports\2005\standards for an officially recognized neighborhood.doc
A The Association is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for residents and
benefit all citizens within the Renton community.
B. The Association completes a neighborhood recognition application, submits a
copy of their association by-laws, and demonstrates compliance.
C. The Association defines its boundaries and submits a map outlining them to
the Neighborhood Program Coordinator. These boundaries may not conflict
with other recognized neighborhoods and any disputes must be reconciled
prior to recognition.
D. All board members of an Association must reside within the defined
geographic boundaries of the Association.
Staff will implement the standards for being an Officially Recognized Neighborhood by:
A. Establish a deadline of March 31, 2006 for compliance.
B. Notifying neighborhood associations of the above standards within 60 days of
the deadline.
C. Conduct a workshop, facilitated by staff, to assist in developing boards and
by-laws for those organizations attempting to become officially recognized.
RECOMMENDATION:
Implement the proposed standards for being an officially recognized neighborhood by the
City of Renton's Neighborhood Program.
Associations unable or unwilling to adhere to the eligibility standards will not qualify to
be an Officially Recognized Neighborhood or participate in the benefits of the
Neighborhood Program and will be properly notified.

years, on the anniversary date, the accrual will be raised to the next level. Therefore, each of
those years the number of shifts taken will be based on what had accrued the prior year. The

hours remaining, or borrow enough hours to provide a complete shift to plot. In earning the
prior year what they use the following year, they would earn odd hours in the year of the 5th,
10th, 15th and 20th year anniversary, and use what they accrued the prior year. The odd hours
would be affecting the vacation plotted the year following their anniversary.

vacation hours unused for the current year, plus the number of hours accrued in the current
year would be paid out to the employee.

and free from coercion, discrimination, or reprisal in lawfully seeking adjudication of
their grievance.
Section A. Definitions.
1. Grievance: Any issue relating to interpretation, application, or enforcement
of any provision contained in this Agreement.
2. Issue: Any dispute, complaint, problem, or question arising with respect to

Chief of Police and the Grievant, Guild, or individual raising the issue agree in any
particular case that the procedural steps and/or time limits should be modified. Any
agreement to modify the procedural steps and/or time limits shall be in writing. In
the event that no provision is made to modify any procedural steps an/or time limits,
and either of the parties violates them, the grievance/issue shall be considered
settled in favor of the party that is not in default at the time. If any specified
participant in the steps below is absent and thus unable to timely participate, such
step(s) may be completed by the participant's designee.
Ste 1 The employees and/or Guild Representative shall submit the
grievance/issue in writing to the Division Commander/Manager within twenty (20)
calendar days from the date that the grievant knew or reasonably should have
known of the action precipitating the grievance/issue. The Division
Commander/Manager shall notify the Employee(s) and the Guild Representative in
writing of his/her decision and the reasons therefore within fifteen (15) calendar
days thereafter.

submit the grievance/issue in writing to the Deputy Chief within fifteen (15) calendar
days. If the grievance is initiated by the Guild, it shall be initiated at Step (2) of the
grievance process within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date the Guild knew or
reasonably should have known of the action precipitating the grievance/issue. The
Deputy Chief shall notify the employee(s) and the Guild Representative in writing of
Police Non -Commissioned 2006-2008
his/her decision and the reasons therefore within fifteen (15) calendar days
thereafter.
Step (3) If the grievant is not satisfied with the decision rendered, he/she shall
submit the grievance/issue in writing to the Chief of Police within fifteen (15)
calendar days. The Chief of Police shall notify the employee(s) and the Guild
Representative in writing of his/her decision and the reasons therefore within fifteen
(15) calendar days thereafter.

submit the matter to arbitration. In any case, the matter must be referred to
arbitration within ninety (90) days from conclusion of the fifteen (15) day period of

exceed ten (10) days. The total cost of the proceedings shall be borne equally by
both parties. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on both parties,
provided, however, that no authority is granted to the arbitrator to modify, amend,
or delete any terms of this Agreement.
When an employee or the Guild appeals a grievance to arbitration, such appeal
shall be made in writing and shall constitute an election of remedies and, to the
extent allowed by law, a waiver of any and all rights by the appealing employee or
the Guild to litigate or otherwise contest the appealed matter in any court or other
available forum.
Section C. Election of Remedies. In the case of disciplinary actions that are
appealable to the Civil Service Commission, a non -probationary employee may file
a grievance under the terms of this Agreement alleging that the disciplinary action
was not for just cause. If the employee does so, it shall constitute an election of
remedies and said employee shall be barred from pursuing the issue in any other
forum including, but not limited to, the Civil Service Commission. Likewise, if an
employee files litigation in any other legal forum, including Civil Service, that
employee may not grieve said discipline and any grievance previously filed shall be
deemed withdrawn and any remedies previously granted shall be void.
ARTICLE 18 - PERFORMANCE OF DUTY
Section A. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give an employee the
right to strike, and no employee shall strike or refuse to perform assigned duties to
the best of his/her ability. It is further agreed that no employee shall refuse to cross

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Pursuant to Council's direction to review the City's system development charges (SDC) every
two years, staff is submitting updated SDC for Water, Wastewater, and Surface Water Utilities
for implementation in 2006. The updated SDC fees reflect plant value of the utilities
infrastructure as of 12/31/04 and projected capital improvement plans for 2005-2007. In addition,
staff proposes discontinuing a 20% discount on Water and Wastewater SDC for
mobile/manufactured homes and applying the single family SDC for these types of new home
construction. Staff is also submitting a proposal for an Annexation Fee of $2,500. Currently,
the City does not have a fee for annexations. The proposed fee is intended to recoup
approximately 35 %-50 % of the estimated cost of processing an average annexation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the SDC for Water, Wastewater, and Surface Water Utilities (as presented on "System
Development Charges Table") for implementation on January 1, 2006. Adopt an Annexation Fee of
$2,500 for implementation on January 1, 2006. Adopt the ordinance implementing these changes.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
System Development Charges are paid by property owners who have not borne an
equitable share of the cost of the City's utility systems. The SDC was established to
ensure that new customers pay a fee to "buy into" the utility infrastructure that was paid
for by existing customers. New customers requiring water, wastewater, or surface water
services pay an SDC prior to connection to, or benefit from these utilities.
Revenues from SDC are used to pay for capital improvement projects (CIP).
Approximately 25% of funding for CIP comes from SDC, but the major funding source is
debt. Routine adjustments in SDC fees (increase in SDC revenues) to reflect actual
physical plant value will reduce the need to borrow for capital improvements.
2006 System Development Charges:
System development charges were last revised in 2004. Proposed charges for 2006 are as

The increases in SDC reflect growth of existing and planned infrastructure (2003-2007).
Single-family developments are assessed a flat fee per unit; multi -family units receive a
20% reduction; and commercial properties pay a fee per square footage. Redeveloped
properties are given a credit for payments they have made to the system.
There is a 20% discount on Water and Wastewater Utilities SDC for mobile and
manufactured home construction. Because these types of homes function as a single
family home and have a similar impact on the waster and wastewater infrastructure, staff
is proposing discontinuing the discount and applying the SDC for single family home.
Comparison with Surrounding Jurisdictions:
A matrix comparing Renton's SDC with development fees charged by the cities of Kent,
Auburn, Issaquah, and Kirkland is attached. It must be emphasized that although the
analyst set a standard of measure (i.e. 21,780 sq. ft. for commercial building), each city
has a different method of calculating its development charges. For instance, Renton
calculates a commercial SDC based on square footage, whereas Issaquah calculates it
using the number of plumbing fixtures planned. Thus, assumptions for Issaquah's
HAFile Sys\ADM - PBPW Adminstration\Analyst\UTIL\SDC\2005\SDC Issue Paper.doc\NC
Council/SDC & Annex Fees
October 28, 2005
Page 3 of 5
commercial development charges were made on type of building use (retail), number of
units (7), type of tenant (hair salon, pho restaurant, UPS store, donut shop, dry-cleaning,
State Farm insurance office, a cell phone sales office), and number of fixtures such
tenants may use.
Development charges for the cities of Tukwila and Bellevue were not included in this
report. Tukwila calculates connection charges using front footage, depth of property, and
a cost factor based on LID charges paid in the 1960s and 1970s on the specific utility to
which the developer is connecting. Bellevue includes in its umbrella of connection
charges permits fees and direct facility charges (DFC). It calculates DFC using any of
the following methods: front footage, square footage, or number of sub -divisions. The
City selects a method based on the exact location of the development because it charges
for the cost of the system to which the development is directly connecting. Thus, for
instance, the cost of a specific water main is factored into the calculation of a DFC.
Connection charges pay for the system in place, and Capital Recovery Charges (CRC)
pay for capital improvements on the system. So, in addition to connection charges (a
one-time payment), users pay a monthly CRC over 10 years.
Methodology for SDC Calculation:
The basic approach for determining the City's SDC is described below.
1. Calculate the current value of the utility.
2. Subtract contributions to the utility from: a) federal, state, and local grants, b)
contributions from other funds such as local improvement districts, special
assessment districts, c) customer contributions such as SDC, and d)
contractor/developer contributions.
The result is "Equity;" the plant value paid by all ratepayers; not the above
sources.
3. Add capital improvements of the current year and the next two years to Equity.
4. Subtract predicted contributions from SDC for the same period. The result is
Total Equity.
5. Divide Total Equity by the number of developed acres in the entire city. The final
result is an average cost for the Utility to serve a developed acre. (For Surface
Water, however, the result is average cost to serve a unit equivalent to single
family).
Tables A, B, and C contain the SDC calculation (steps #3, #4, and #5) for each utility.
The tables following show plant value calculation for each utility (steps #1 and #2).

Proposed New Annexation Fee:
Unlike a number of other cities, Renton does not currently have a fee for processing
annexations. Property owners can file a 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation
Proceedings petition if they can get signatures representing 10% of the proposed
annexation area's assessed value. It is required under state law to hold a public meeting
with the applicants within 60 days of their submittal with the City Clerk, whether the
Council favors the proposed annexation, or not. Even at this early stage these proposed
annexations are circulated to departments/divisions for their comments. At a minimum,
there are at least 15 to 20 hours of staff time involved just for the 10% Petition.
If Council decides to authorize circulation of a 60% Direct Petition to Annex or a 50/50
Petition to Annex, additional hours are required preparing for public hearings before
Council and, in some cases, the Boundary Review Board. These processes can easily
consume another 20 to 30 hours of staff time for analyzing the request and preparing for
public and BRB meetings, for an estimated total of 35 to 50 hours. Using an hourly
billing rate of $145 per hour, the estimated average cost to the City would be $5,075 to
$7,250 per annexation. The proposed annexation fee would recoup somewhere between
about a third to a half of these costs.

property to another) and shall not constitute a credit to the system development charge due at the time of permanent
use of the utility system. The application for temporary connection shall consist of a detailed plan and a boundary
line of the proposed development service area for use in the fee determination.
I. CHARGES FOR EQUITABLE SHARE OF PUBLIC WORKS FACILITIES:
Owners of properties to which improvements are being proposed that have not been
assessed or charged an equitable share of the cost of public works facilities, such as water
systems, sanitary sewer systems, storm water drainage systems, and street improvements
including signalization and lighting, shall be subject to one or more of the charges listed in the
following subsections. Any fees triggered by improvements or development, as detailed in this
Section, are due and payable at the first of the following instances:
Prior to the issuance of a Public Works Construction Permit, or
Prior to the recording of a single family residential plat or single family
residential short plat, or
Prior to the issuance of a building permit.
All of the following charges shall be paid into the Waterworks Utility Construction Fund
except that any fees collected under a private Latecomer's Agreement shall be passed on to the
holder of the agreement with the appropriate fees paid to the general fund. For the purposes of
this Section the terms "property(ies)" or "parcel(s)" shall mean a lot of record as defined in
chapter 4-11 RMC.
1. Private Held Latecomer's Fees and Special Assessment District (Formerly Known
as City Held Latecomer's) Fees:
a. Applicability of Private Held Latecomer's Fee: The City has the
discretionary power, as detailed in chapter 9-5 RMC, to grant latecomer's agreements to
developers and owners for the reimbursement of a pro rata portion of public works facilities
PA
ORDINANCE NO.
(water systems, sanitary sewer systems, storm water drainage systems, and street improvements
including signalization and lighting) they install and turn over to the City.
b. Applicability of Special Assessment District Fee: The special assessment
charge is a fee that enables the City to recover a pro rata portion of the original costs of public
works improvements (water systems, sanitary sewer systems, storm water drainage systems, and
street improvements including signalization and lighting) from the owners of property who
would benefit from future connections to, or future users of, improvements to the City's
infrastructure that were not installed by LIDs or by a private developer under a latecomer
agreement. The imposition, collection, payment and other specifics concerning these charges
are detailed in chapter 9-16 RMC, Special Assessment Districts. Interest may be charged
pursuant to RMC 9-16-6, Payments to City.
C. Exemptions for Latecomer's or Special Assessment District Fees:
Segregation of Fees: The City may grant segregation of private
developer latecomer's fees or special assessment district fees on large parcels of land per
subsection (I)(3) of this Section.
ii. Relief Due to Two (2) Similar Facilities: The
Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator will consider relieving a parcel of a latecomer's
or special assessment district fee/assessment if the property has a benefit from either (but not
both) of two (2) similar facilities. The Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator will make
the decision based on engineering and policy decisions as to which facility(s) benefit and/or are
utilized by the parcel. The assessment due would be that associated with the utilized facility. If
there are no sound engineering or policy reasons that indicate one facility over the other, the City
shall give the applicant the choice of facilities to utilize.
3
ORDINANCE NO.
iii. Relief Due to Future Subdivision: At the time the latecomer's
agreement or special assessment district is formed, and as a condition of the latecomer's
agreement or special assessment district, the City may require that the assessment against a
parcel be divided such that a single family residential connection will be assessed based upon the
size of a typical single family residential lot in that area. The remainder of the cost attributed to
said site will be due at such time as the parcel develops further either by subdivision or increased
density. In the case of a special assessment district, interest will continue to accrue on the
remaining portion of the assessment.
iv. Reallocation of Assessment Due to Subdivision of Property: The
Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator will consider reallocation of the latecomer's
assessment or the special assessment if a property is subdivided for any purpose other than single
family use. Reallocation may be granted based upon front footage, area, or other equitable
means. Consideration may be given to adjusting the assessment between the new parcels, based
upon value of benefit from the improvements, such that two (2) similar parcels may pay different
amounts because one receives more benefit.
2. System Development Charges (SDC) — Water, Wastewater, and Surface Water:
The City may hold and charge certain other fees similar to special assessment district
charges, which are commonly referred to as "system development charges."
a. Applicability of System Development Charge: The system development
charge is hereby imposed against properties and, by inference, the owners of said properties
which have not been assessed or charged or borne an equitable share of the cost of the City's
utility systems. Said property owner(s) shall pay, prior to connection to or benefit from a City
utility or utility facility, the system development charge associated with that utility as detailed in
4
ORDINANCE NO.
the fees table in subsection (I)(2)(b) of this Section. A parcel may benefit from a City utility
system during the development or redevelopment of the property with or without a connection to
an established facility. Therefore, the system development charge for a utility may be triggered
without a physical connection to an existing facility.
Development of a utility system shall mean:
Development of the sanitary sewer system, including but not limited to lift
stations, force mains, interceptors and other sewer collection mains.
Development of the surface water system, including but not limited to
retention/detention or water quality facilities, flood hazard reduction improvements, lift stations,
force mains, interceptors, and other surface water collection and conveyance systems.
Development of the water system, including but not limited to wells, pump
stations, reservoirs and transmission mains.
ii. The phrase "properties, which have not been assessed or charged
or borne an equitable share of the cost of the utility," as used in this Section, shall mean any of
the following:
First Time Service Connection or Benefit: Any property which has not paid a
system development charge for the property based upon the total square footage of the property
and which is connecting to or benefiting from a Renton utility system for the first time (including
but not limited to new construction, conversion from private well, or conversion from septic
system).
Further Subdivision: Any property which has not paid a system development
charge for the property based upon the total square footage of the property and is served or
5
ORDINANCE NO.
benefited by the utility and is subdividing further for single family usage shall receive a credit for
the existing single family residence(s).
For example, a five (5) acre parcel with an existing single family house is being
subdivided for single family lots. If the existing house is connected to the City sewer and water
systems, the development would get credit for one single family system development charge for
sanitary sewer, storm water, and water. If the existing house was not connected to the City sewer
system, the development would get credit for one single family system development charge for
storm water and water.
A property subdividing further for single family usage that receives a credit for existing
single family residence(s) shall not qualify for prorating of the system development charge under
subsection (I)(2)(c) of this Section.
Existing Developments — Water and/or Sanitary Sewer: Property that was
developed before the effective date of the first development charge ordinances for water and
sanitary sewer in 1974 is exempted from the connection charge(s) for water and sanitary sewer.
Any rebuilding, change in use or additions to exempted property that does not require additional
water usage such that a fire hydrant, additional meter, or larger meter is necessary will not trigger
a new system development charge. However, except as provided herein, when property is
redeveloped or the use changed or intensified such that larger or additional water meter(s) or the
addition of a fire hydrant is necessary, application(s) for these items will trigger the system
development charge(s). An application for the installation of a meter(s) solely for the purpose of
either irrigation or fire protection or the installation of a fire hydrant will trigger a system
development charge for water. An application for an additional or a larger water meter(s) for any
2
ORDINANCE NO.
purpose other than solely for irrigation or fire protection will trigger a system development
charge for both water and sewer.
Exceptions:
The addition of an irrigation meter only for an existing single family residential dwelling
will not trigger a system development charge for water or sewer.
If an existing single family residence is being remodeled or rebuilt and remains a single family
residence on the same lot (not involved in a new plat, short plat, or lot line adjustment), the
addition of a larger or additional meter will not trigger the system development charges for water
or sewer.
The addition of a second meter to an existing duplex in order to divide consumption for
billing purposes will not trigger a system development charge.
Existing Developments — Surface Water: Property that was developed before the
effective date of the first development charge ordinances for surface (storm) water in 1992 is
exempted from the surface water system development charge. The addition of any new
impervious surface to exempted properties will require payment of the system development
charge for surface water for the additional new impervious area only. If an exempted property is
making a connection for the first time to a surface water system, it will require payment of the
system development charge for surface water only for the impervious area tributary to the point
of connection. Any rebuilding, change in use or additions to exempted property that does not
create additional impervious surface area or does not cause a first time connection to be made
will not require payment of the system development charge for surface water.
Exceptions:
VA
ORDINANCE NO.
Improvements to existing single family residential units such as additions that are less
than five hundred (500) square feet, decks, small sheds and other minor improvements are
exempt from the system development charge for surface water unless a new connection to the
Renton surface water utility collection system is proposed or required as part of the permit
application.

Prorating the System Development Charge for Redevelopment of
Property: An option exists for prorating the system development charge(s) for property which
has not previously paid a charge in full. Any parcel that currently has water or sanitary sewer
service is eligible for a prorated system development charge for the associated utility.
Prorating Based upon Meter Sizes: The prorated system
development charge will be based upon the capacity of the new meters as compared to the
capacity of the existing meters.
Meters installed solely for fire protection, either existing or proposed, are not included in
the calculation for water or sanitary sewer. If there is an additional or larger meter solely for fire
flow or additional hydrants required for the proposed development, please refer also to sub-
section (I)(2)(d)(ii) of this Section. Meters installed solely for irrigation (either existing or
proposed) are not included in the calculation for sanitary sewer.
This prorated redevelopment charge is calculated using the following formula:
[Proposed meter(s) capacity in gallons per minute (GPM) — Existing meter(s) capacity in
GPM]/[Proposed meter(s) capacity in GPM] x [SDC Fee] = Amount owed.
The City will determine the safe maximum operating capacities of all meter sizes using
American Water Works Association tables (see below). The fee paid shall be posted in the City's
database and applied to the total system development charge applicable for the parcel.
Reduction in meter capacity shall not result in a payment from the City to the applicant.

ii. Prorating the System Development Charge for Fire Protection
Improvements Associated with Redevelopment of Property: Installation of a water meter solely
for a fire protection system, such as a new hydrant or fire sprinkler system, shall be charged a fee
equal to thirty percent (30%) of the system development charge applicable to the portion of the
parcel containing the improvements for which the fire protection system is constructed to serve.
Thirty percent (30%) is the amount the water utility has expended throughout its system for fire
flow protection. This fee shall be posted to the City's database and applied as a partial payment
to the total system development charge applicable for the parcel.
For the purposes of this Section, "portion of the parcel containing the improvements for
which the fire protection system is constructed to serve" shall be described as:
The smaller area of either the total square footage of the property or the square footage of
the property designated by a line drawn twenty (20) feet around the footprint of the building
being served by the meter installed for fire protection.
The smaller area of either the total square footage of the property or the square footage of
the property designated by a line drawn twenty (20) feet around the footprint of the building(s)
which by their construction, reconstruction or improvement triggered the need for the new fire
hydrant(s).
1[1'
ORDINANCE NO.
"Footprint" shall include the primary building plus ancillary structures such as garages,
carports, sheds, etc., that are considered by the Fire Department when calculating fire flow
requirements. In the case of multiple improvements, overlapping areas shall only be counted
once.
If the "portion of the parcel containing the improvements for which the fire protection
system is constructed to serve" is eighty percent (80%) of the parcel or more, then the thirty
percent (30%) shall be calculated on the total square footage of the property.
If a project both increases water meter capacity and installs a fire protection system, the
total of both prorated system development fees (subsections i and ii) would be charged. Payment
of said fees would be posted in the City's database and applied to the total system development
charge applicable for the parcel. In no case shall the total of the prorated system development
charge(s) be more than the total system development charge applicable for the parcel.
Installation of a water meter solely for a fire protection system shall not trigger a sewer system
development fee.
Prorating the System Development Charge for Installation of an
Irrigation Meter Only: When a water meter is installed solely for the purpose of providing
irrigation water for private landscaping (exempt meter), there will be charged a fee equal to ten
percent (10%) of the water system development charge applicable to the property. Said fee shall
be nonrefundable, nontransferable (from one portion of the property to another). Payment of said
fee would be posted in the City's database and applied to the total system development charge
applicable for the parcel. At the applicant's option, the full water system development charge
may be paid instead of the ten percent (10%) payment described herein.
iv. Examples:
11
ORDINANCE NO.
Example 1: A redevelopment project that involves a change from a single family home
on a ten thousand (10,000) square foot lot with a five -eighths inch by three-quarter inch
meter (5/8" x 3/4", a standard single family meter) that has a safe operating capacity of twenty
(20) gallons per minute (GPM), to a commercial usage with a one and one-half inch (1-1/2 ")
meter with a safe operating capacity of one hundred (100) GPM can apply to pay for the
following prorated charges:
(100 GPM — 20 GPM)/(100 GPM) = 0.8
For water: 0.8 x (10,000 sq. ft. x $0.273/sq. ft.) _ $2,184.00
For sewer: 0.8 x (10,000 sq. ft. x $0.142/sq.ft.) _ $1,136.00
Without the redevelopment credit, this project would have paid $0.142/sq.ft.. x 10,000
sq. ft. _ $1,420.00 for sewer and paid $0.273/sq. ft.. x 10,000 sq. ft. _ $2,730.00 for water.
Example 2: A property owner is planning to redevelop a half acre parcel that includes a
single family home with a five -eighths inch by three-quarter inch meter (5/8" x 3/4", a standard
single family meter) that has a safe operating capacity of twenty (20) GPM. The new
development will be an eight (8) unit multi -family dwelling with a two inch (2") meter with a
safe operating capacity of one hundred sixty (160) GPM, a three-quarter inch (3/4") irrigation
meter with a safe operating capacity of thirty (30) GPM, and a four inch (4") meter for fire
sprinklers. The property owner can apply to pay the following prorated charges:
For water: based on meters
(160 GPM + 30 GPM — 20 GPM)/(160 GPM + 30 GPM) = 89.5%
based on fire service = 30%
Total = 119.5%
Therefore, 100% of the water system development charge would be due.
12
ORDINANCE NO.
(8 units x $1,174.00/unit = $9,392.00 )
For sewer: based on meters — irrigation meter excluded (160 GPM — 20 GPM)/(I 60
GPM) = 87.5%
Therefore, 87.5% of the sewer system development charge would be due.
87.5% x (8 units x $610.00 /unit) _ $4,270.00
Without the redevelopment credit, this project would have paid $610.00 /unit x 8 units =
$4,880.00.
d. Exemptions to System Development Charge:
i. Installation of an Irrigation Meter Solely for the Purpose of
Providing Irrigation Water to City Right -of -Way: Installation of a water meter solely for the
purpose of providing irrigation water to City right-of-way is exempted from the system
development charge.
ii. Exemption for City -Owned Property: No system development
charge will be collected on City -owned properties. The benefits to the utility from the use of
other City properties such as utility easements, lift stations and other benefits offset the amount
of the system development charge.
Limited Exemptions for Municipal Corporations: A limited
exemption to the system development charge will be granted to municipal corporations for
portions of property subject to the system development charge to the extent that those specific
areas are available and maintained at all times for public use (e.g., ballfields adjacent to a school
building) and shall be segregated from the fee determination as herein provided. In applying this
exemption to the extent possible, a single straight line shall be drawn across the property
separating the exempt property from the property to be charged. If a single straight line would
13
ORDINANCE NO.
not achieve substantial equity, then additional lines may be drawn to include substantial open
space areas in the exemption. For purposes of this exemption, substantial open space areas shall
be at least one hundred thousand (100,000) square feet in area. Lines shall not be drawn closer
than fifteen feet (15¢) to any structure.
Nonexempt Areas: Parking lots, driveways, walkways, similar areas and required
landscape areas shall not be part of the exempt area.
Administrative Fees: The applicant shall pay the City's administrative costs for
the preparation, processing and recording the segregated fee. At the time of application for
system development charge segregation the applicant shall pay the administrative fee of seven
hundred fifty dollars ($750.00).
Restrictive Covenants: The exemption must be memorialized by means of a
restrictive covenant running with the land. Should the property exempted under this Section later
develop, then that property shall pay the system development charge in place at the time of
development.
Interpretation of Partial Payment: The Administrator of the
Planning/Building/Public Works Department shall make the final decision on the interpretation
of this limited exemption and the achievement of substantial equity.
iv. Exemption for Undeveloped Critical Area(s) and Undeveloped
Major Easement(s): When calculating the area to be charged the system development charge,
undeveloped critical areas (per RMC 4-11-030) and undeveloped major easements within the
property shall not be included in the square footage for the calculation of the charge. It is the
responsibility of the property owner or applicant to submit a study determining and classifying
the critical area. The property owner or applicant shall submit a legal description of any
14
ORDINANCE NO.
easement(s) or critical area(s) so that these portions of the property can be exempted from the
development charge(s).
The intent of this exemption is to not charge property that is undevelopable. If the
property is used or can be used to satisfy any condition of the development such as parking or
landscaping, it shall be considered developed and does not meet the qualifications of this
exemption.
v. Exemption Credit for Regional Improvements: If an applicant's
project proposes to solve a regional drainage problem, over and above the requirements to
mitigate their project's impacts, the value of the additional improvement shall be credited toward
the surface water system development charges due. The applicant must provide the
Administrator of the Department of Planning/Building/Public Works with the costs of the
drainage improvements and a suggested method of calculating the costs due to the extra work
done to solve a regional drainage problem. The Administrator will make the final decision on the
amount of the credit. In no instance shall the credit duplicate a latecomer's agreement such that
the applicant will be paid twice, nor may the credit against the connection charge exceed the
connection charge (i.e., no payment to the applicant under this Section).
vi. Surface Water Exemption for Infiltration Facility: Developments which
infiltrate or contain on site one hundred percent (100%) of the on -site storm water runoff volume
from a one hundred (100) year storm are exempt from the surface water system development
charge. For the application of this credit, the owner/developer must use the current design criteria
to show that the infiltration facility will infiltrate all of the volume of runoff produced from the
site during the one hundred (100) year storm.
15
ORDINANCE NO.
If a development that is granted an exemption under this Section discharges water offsite
during a one hundred (100) year storm or less, the development shall be required to make
corrections or improvements to the onsite system such that it will infiltrate up to the one hundred
(100) year storm. If, in the future, the development can no longer infiltrate one hundred percent
(100%) of the on -site storm water runoff from a one hundred (100) year storm, the systems
development charge shall be due and payable as a condition of the connection to or utilization of
the City's storm water system.
Nothing in this Section shall relieve the property owner(s) from complying with the
City's current flow control and water quality treatment standards at the time the development
converts from one hundred percent (100%) infiltration to use of the City storm system. When a
development is converted from one hundred percent (100%) infiltration to use of the City storm
system, the storm water management standards used shall consider the existing conditions prior
to the property being developed under the one hundred percent (100%) infiltration exemption
and the developed conditions at the time the conversion is made.
There may be certain areas within the City that partially or completely prohibit the use of
infiltration facilities. If a current or future code or standard prohibits or limits the use of
infiltration facilities to any level below the one hundred (100) year storm, the development will
not qualify for this exemption.
3. Segregation Criteria and Rules: Except for parcels being developed for single
family use, the ability exists for the segregation of system development, special assessment
district, and latecomer's charges in the partial development of a large parcel of property. This
segregation shall be based on the following criteria and rules:
16
ORDINANCE NO.
a. Segregation by Plat or Short Plat: Charges shall be determined on the basis
of the specific platted properties being developed regardless of the parcel size. Unplatted or
large -platted parcels may be platted or short -platted prior to development, in which case the
system development charge will be applied to the specific platted lots being developed.
b. Segregation by Administrative Determination: For the partial development
of a large tract of property the owner may apply for a segregation of the system development,
special assessment district, and latecomer's charge(s) for the specific portion of the property to
be developed. The burden of establishing the segregation by legal description, number of units,
and map would be on the party owing the fee and not the City. The following criteria shall
determine the segregation of fees:
Provisions: This provision shall apply to all developments with the
exception of single family residential home developments. When a parcel is segregated by
administrative determination, prorating of the system development charge for redevelopment
shall not be allowed.
ii. Segregation of Fees: The segregation of fees shall be by formal,
written agreement, including a legal description approved by the City, which shall be recorded as
a restrictive covenant running with the land. The restrictive covenant shall list the percentage of
the system development charge fee that has been paid for the property. The applicant shall also
include a detailed plan, drafted to current adopted City standards, of the proposed development,
which shall include the proposed boundary line, as described in the legal description, for the
system development charge determination.
Segregated Areas: Minimum size of area segregated for
determination and payment of system development charge(s) shall be two (2) acres. The
17
ORDINANCE NO.
segregated area shall include, but not be limited to, all contiguous existing developed land for
which the system development charge(s) have not been paid; all proposed buildings; driveways
and sidewalks; parking areas; grass and landscape areas; public access areas; storm drainage
facilities and detention ponds; and improvements required for mitigation of environmental
impacts under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The boundary line for the segregation
of system development charge shall be established by survey and legal description and shall not
be closer than fifteen feet (150) to any structure.
iv. Remnant Parcel: Minimum size of the remnant parcel of
undeveloped property for which the system development charge is deferred shall be two (2)
acres. Should the property partially paid for under this Section later develop, then that property
shall pay the system development charge fee in place at the time of development. Should the
property partially paid for under this Section later be subdivided, then the partial payment credit
shall run with the subdivided lots. The burden of establishing that the partial payment has been
made would be on the party owing the fee and not on the City.
V. Determination of Charge: The system development charge shall be
determined on the basis of the percentage of a property that is developed (existing development
plus proposed development). When a proposed development takes a parcel over the threshold of
full development, as described in this Section, one hundred percent (100%) of the system
development charge(s) is owed and any balance is due and payable.
vi. Full Development: For the purpose of this Code, "full
development" is considered to be sixty percent (60%) property coverage for multi -family
development and eighty percent (80%) property coverage for commercial, industrial, mixed use,
and all other development. "Property coverage" is defined as the portion of the property

supporting buildings, driveways and sidewalks, parking areas, grass and landscape areas, public
access areas, storm drainage facilities and detention ponds, and improvements required for
mitigation of environmental impacts under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
vii. Developed Area: The "developed area" shall include, but not be
limited to, all contiguous existing developed land for which the system development charges
have not been paid: all existing and proposed buildings, driveways and sidewalks, parking areas,
grass and landscape areas, public access areas, storm drainage facilities and detention ponds, and
improvements required for mitigation of environmental impacts.
viii. Administrative Fees: The applicant shall pay the City's
administrative costs for the preparation, processing and recording of the partial payment of the
fee(s). At the time of application for system development charge partial payment the applicant
shall pay the administrative fee of seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) for each segregation. If
the same segregation is used for more than one utility's system development charge, then only
one administrative fee is collected.
ix. Interpretation: The Administrator of the Planning/Building/Public
Works Department shall make the final decision on interpretation of the partial payment of
system development charges.

ISSUE:
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) requests the City's approval
of a Concurrence Letter regarding the proposed alignment for the northbound I-405 to SR-
169 off -ramp and future widening of I-405. The Wells and Parks Task Force recommended
an alignment that will avoid and/or minimize impacts to the City's park land and facilities
and to the City's drinking water supply wells and facilities.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor to sign the Concurrence Letter with the Washington State Department
of Transportation for the proposed alignment of the northbound I-405 to SR-169 off -ramp.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
As part of the future widening of I-405, WSDOT needs to relocate and widen the northbound
off -ramp from I-405 to SR —169 Maple Valley Highway. The proposed ramp will be located
in the Cedar River Park, close to City trails, open spaces, and recreation facilities. The City
also owns, operates, and maintains several groundwater drinking water supply wells, water
treatment and pumping facilities, and underground utilities in the vicinity of the proposed
ramp. In addition, future widening of I-405 will cause impacts to City park land, trails,
recreation facilities, and water supply and transmission facilities in Liberty Park.
WSDOT and the City formed a Wells and Parks Task Force to identify, address, and develop
options for the complicated design challenges associated with the widening of a major
freeway ramp near the City's parks, recreational facilities, and drinking water supply wells

and treatment facilities. The Task Force recommended to the Executive/Administrators
Committee, a ramp alignment and park layout that minimizes impacts to the park land,
recreation facilities, and water supply and treatment facilities in Liberty and Cedar River
Parks.
By signing the Concurrence Letter, WSDOT and the City agree to work together to
expeditiously resolve outstanding issues and to move the project forward. WSDOT will
further examine and evaluate the impacts to City parks and to the drinking water wells and
treatment facilities in the development of the I-405 South Renton Implementation Plan
NEPA document and final Section 4(f) determination. The Concurrence Letter and the
attached Wells and Parks Task Force Findings Report will be the basis for continued work
and problem solving in the South Renton Implementation Plan.
CONCLUSION:
The concurrence letter outlines the issues and options identified by the Task Force. The
letter also memorializes WSDOT and the City's desire to work together and move the project
forward.

Re: Letter of Concurrence
1-405 Wells & Parks Task Force
Dear Mr. Zimmerman:
The City of Renton and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) are
working together to move the I405 projects forward in Renton. WSDOT understands that the
City's groundwater wells are a vital source of water and that the City's parks, trails, open spaces,
and recreation facilities are valuable assets essential to quality of life for Renton's citizens.
A focused effort and cooperation between our two agencies is required to work out the 1-405
design challenges in the vicinity of the City's water supply system, Liberty Park, Cedar River Park,
and the Narco property. Consequently, the City and WSDOT formed a Wells & Parks Task Force
in 2004 to address these complicated issues. The Task Force was able to successfully resolve some
of the key issues, but other issues need more evaluation. This concurrence letter documents the
Task Force's objectives, accomplishments to date, and - in the attached Findings Report -
outstanding issues, future steps, and decisions.
Task Force Objectives
The Task Force's primary objective was to identify a proposed alignment for the northbound I405
to SR 169 off -ramp that:
1. Avoids and/or minimizes impacts to the City of Renton's drinking groundwater supply — well
heads, pump stations, water treatment facilities, and associated utilities;
2. Ensures adequate and safe access:
a. For the City's maintenance personnel to operate and maintain the drinking water wells,
pump stations, water treatment facilities, and associated utilities; and
b. For the public to the City's public park land and facilities; and
c. For emergency response vehicles to the City's water wells and their associated
facilities and park land and their associated facilities; and
d. For the City's maintenance personnel to operate and maintain the City's parks, trails,
building facilities and open space areas; and
3. Avoids and/or minimizes impacts to public park land and park facilities and is safe for park
users.
Accomplishments
An important accomplishment for the Task Force was identification of the northbound I-405 to SR
169 ramp alignment. The Task Force recommended a northbound I-405 to SR 169 ramp alignment
Wells & Parks Concurrence
July 8, 2005
Page 2 of 3
to the Executive/Administrators Committee as Recommendation #1, understanding that resolution
of wells/park access and impacts will be further addressed. The Executive/Administrators
Committee agreed with this alignment on July 23, 2004. The ramp alignment:
• Avoids the footprint of the existing City well buildings (RW-1, 2, and 3, PW-8 and 9, EW-
3) and the existing water treatment facilities (the corrosion control and treatment facility
(CCTF) and the fluoridation facility).
• Strives to minimize impacts to Cedar River Park and amenities. The ramp alignment
requires an approximate 25-foot swath along the west side of the Cedar River Park multi-
use ballfield/soccer field and the Renton Community Center, placing the ramp within 65
feet of the Community Center.
The selected ramp alignment will be further examined in the South Renton Implementation Plan
NEPA document and final Section 4(f) determination.
Wells & Parks Task Force Findings Report. Determining the northbound I-405 to SR 169 ramp
alignment was critical for more in-depth discussion about other aspects of this project. With the
specific alignment information we will be able to more effectively analyze other issues, such as the
location of potential public access to and from Cedar River and Liberty Parks, Narco property, trail
connectivity, internal park circulation and access points for maintenance vehicles for Wells 8 and 9
and the treatment facilities, as well as underground utility issues. These afore -mentioned issues and
other issues are complex and will need further evaluation. The access and unresolved issues are
documented in the attached Wells & Parks Task Force Findings Report.
Moving Forward
South Renton Implementation Plan Project. The Task Force work done to date has been under
the umbrella of the I405 North Renton project, now known as the Renton to Bellevue project.
WSDOT has moved project elements south of the SR 169 interchange (including work in the wells
and parks vicinity) to the South Renton Implementation Plan project. The improvements made
south of the SR 169 interchange are more appropriately connected to improvements made through
the Renton "S" curves, and they can be designed and implemented independent of the Renton to
Bellevue project improvements north of the SR 169 interchange. Therefore, it is appropriate to
move project elements south of the SR 169 interchange to the South Renton Implementation Plan
project, allowing WSDOT to construct improvements south of SR 169 only once — avoiding costly
and disruptive rework.
The Wells & Parks Task Force Findings Report will be the basis for continued work and problem
solving in the South Renton Implementation Plan project. Starting immediately, WSDOT will
closely work with City staff to revisit and solve the issues as the 15% design is developed. The
15% design will identify recommended solutions to be evaluated in the South Renton
Implementation Plan NEPA document and final Section 4(f) determination. This work needs to be
completed prior to January 2006 so that WSDOT can begin the NEPA process on/before January
2006. This aggressive schedule is driven by the 2005 Legislative intent to complete the SR 515
(Talbot) interchange in 2010.
The City provided EA scoping comments (October 23, 2003, letter) for the North Renton project.
WSDOT will move the Wells & Parks -related scoping comments to the South Renton
Implementation Plan NEPA scoping document so that they can be appropriately addressed.

Preliminary Section 4(0 determination recognized the potential effects on the parks, stating park
areas may be permanently incorporated into the transportation facility. WSDOT recognizes the
importance of parks to the City and is obligated to evaluate park impacts though the NEPA and
Section 4(f) decision -making processes. The City and WSDOT will continue to work together as a
team to explore new solutions and to coordinate plans and designs for the area.
Concurrence
The I405 South Renton Implementation Plan NEPA document is scheduled to begin on or before
January 2006. Realizing the complexity of the issues at hand, it is advantageous for both parties to
resolve and make decisions prior to January 2006. By working together, both parties will be able
to go forward with greater certainty to identify elements that will shape the Parks Master Plan and
to define project elements the I-405 South Renton Implementation Plan NEPA will examine. By
signing below, the City and WSDOT concur:
• The northbound I-405 to SR 169 ramp alignment recommendation will be carried forward
to the NEPA environmental document and final Section 4(f) determination for the South
Renton Implementation Plan project.
• The Wells and Parks Task Force commit to work together to expeditiously resolve
outstanding issues documented in the Wells & Parks Findings Report and other issues as
they arise.
• The agreed upon solutions will be examined in the South Renton Implementation Plan
NEPA Document.
• WSDOT will examine avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures in the NEPA
environmental document, project design plans, and final Section 4(0 determination for the
South Renton Implementation Plan project.

The Task Force work to date has resolved one of its primary objectives — the recommended northbound off -ramp alignment. The Task Force has
identified access options for the CCTF building. However, the Task Force has not been able to resolve all the access issues. Further, the Task Force has
uncovered many more design challenges and issues that need resolution.
The Task Force has documented the access issues and new, unresolved issues in this Wells/Parks Task Force Findings Report. The Findings Report will
be the basis for continued work and problem solving in the South Renton Implementation Plan project.

• The provision for an environmental coordinator during the construction of the
project within the sole source aquifer to monitor groundwater quality, storage of
hazardous substances and chemical use practices, and the containment of
hazardous chemicals.

from surface runoff and spills. Mitigation measures and design elements must be
identified to address impacts on the City's water supply as required by WAC 246-290-
135.
2. Park Access
The City must have no net loss of access for maintenance, operation, and use of the
City's parks, trails, recreational amenities and structures, and open spaces. Existing
access needs include emergency response vehicles, City's water utility operations, park
maintenance vehicles and equipment, and the public (vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian)
The internal circulation through the parks must be safe to park users and access should
minimize conflicting uses among transportation, maintenance, and park/open space
needs.
A. Cedar River Park. There are currently two vehicular access points to Cedar River
Park:
From the southwest geographic area via Houser Way and Carco Road.
From the north via SR 169.
B. Liberty Park. There are currently three access points to Liberty Park:
• From the west along Bronson Way.
• From the south along Houser Way.
From the east via Carco Road to Houser Way.
C. Narco Property. There are currently two access points to the Narco property:
• From the west under I-405 south of the Cedar River via Mill Avenue and Houser
Way. This access serves vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles.
• From the north via the pedestrian bridge. This access serves maintenance
vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles.
D. Carco Road. Carco Road underpass between Houser Way and Cedar River Park
allows pedestrian and vehicular access between Cedar River and Liberty Parks. The
current vertical clearance (10.5 ft) allows park maintenance vehicles and equipment,
small trucks, passenger vehicles, and all emergency response vehicles except the
ladder truck. This access is the primary access point from the geographic area south
and west of the Cedar River. This is also part of the Cedar River Trail system.
E. Pedestrian Bridge. The pedestrian bridge under I-405 serves as pedestrian/bicycle
and park maintenance access across the Cedar River between the Narco property and
Cedar River Park. The bridge is a link in the Cedar River Trail system.

is a one-way northbound arterial adjacent to Liberty Park and I-405.
G. Access Options. The Task Force examined numerous options to maintain the
various park access needs. A key challenge is maintaining two points of vehicular
access to Cedar River Park, including one point of access from the north (SR 169)
and one point of access serving the geographic area south and west of the Cedar
River. A second challenge is maintaining the east -west connectivity (Carco)
between the Cedar River Park and Liberty Park. Further work is needed to resolve
access options. The Task Force evaluated the following options; however, an option
was not recommended. A combination of the following or other unidentified options
may be utilized to ensure a complete solution:
• Pedestrian Bridge. Relocate existing pedestrian bridge upstream (to the east) of
its current location connecting the Cedar River Park and the Narco property.
• Houser Way Bridge and Road Realignment to the West. The existing Houser
Way bridge will be removed and may be relocated. Access could be provided by
realigning Houser Way, 54 feet to the west. To maintain the existing 10.5 feet
vertical clearance and access through Carco Road, the road grade would need to
be lowered by up to 6 feet. Lowering the grade will require relocation of utilities
associated with Carco Road and Houser Way bridge, and the existing access to
the City's pump building for wells RW1, 2, and 3 and Cedar River Park will
need to be relocated. The horizontal separation between the realigned railroad
bridge and between the new Houser Way bridge and the existing City's pump
building for wells RW1, 2, and 3, would be reduced to approximately 20 feet,
with the horizontal distance to the skate park being reduced to less than five feet.
This option has challenges that require further study, including utility relocation,
access to the pump building and skate park relocation, and maintain the Cedar
River Trail connection
• Houser Way Realignment through old City Hall/Liberty Park. Preliminary
evaluation demonstrates that the City Hall/Liberty Park access option could
provide the existing access functions. Access would be provided by re -aligning
Houser Way to the west through the old City Hall property, replacing the Houser
Way bridge, passing City's pump building for wells RW 1, 2, and 3 on the west,
turning due east go between the wells 1, 2, 3 pump building and through the
skate park, and connecting to the existing Carco Road. The existing vertical
clearance and utility access provided at Carco Road can be maintained. This
option has challenges that require further study. The option would require
parking mitigation at the old City Hall property, require mitigation for loss of
Liberty Park property, relocation of the skate park and relocation of the trail.
El
• Cul-de-sac Houser Way. This option provides park access from the north off
SR 169. The access would be limited to right-in/right-out off of SR 169. The
Houser Way bridge would be removed and not replaced and Houser Way would
be cul-de-sacked on both sides of the Cedar River. This option does not provide
public and maintenance access to Cedar River Park.
• Narco/Stoneway. This option builds a new access from the Houser Way and
Mill Avenue intersection, under I-405 south of the Cedar River, through the
Narco property, and across the Cedar River on a new bridge. This access will
connect the Narco property to the Cedar River Park in the vicinity of Carco
Theater and the Stoneway property. This option would need to consider the
potential for cut -through traffic to SR 169
3. Avoidance, Minimization and Mitigation
The City's parks, trails, open spaces and recreation facilities are valuable assets essential See WSDOT
to quality of life. Impacts should be avoided in order to maintain the integrity of the park I CCTF
system.
A. Ramp Alignment. Impacts to the parks and amenities resulting from the
recommended NB I-405 to SR 169 ramp realignment need to be evaluated. These
include the Cedar River Park multi -use ballfield/soccer field, Renton Community
Center, the Cedar River Trail, public parking, vehicular and pedestrian circulation
and access, emergency access, heritage tree and landscape amenities, and air, noise,
and water quality.
B. BNSF and Houser Structures. The BNSF railroad bridges the Cedar River and
Carco road. The BNSF tracks serve the Dinner Train, Boeing, and other commercial
uses. The selected mainline alignment requires the BNSF tracks to be moved 54 feet
to the west. The BNSF tracks will move closer to the City's pump building for wells
RW 1, 2, and 3 — approximately 20 feet east of this building and existing Liberty Park
amenities. The Houser Way bridge, including its associated utilities, will be further
investigated as part of the park access solution.
C. Park System. Impacts to the park system need to be evaluated. Unavoidable impacts
will be mitigated reflecting no net loss of quality and quantity through replacement,
relocation, and/or re -construction. The park system includes the Cedar River Park
multi -use ballfield/soccer field, the Henry Moses Aquatic Center, the Renton
Community Center, the Cedar River Trail and pedestrian bridge, Narco access and
habitat, Liberty Park Skate Park, Liberty Park Ballfield and other recreational
amenities, public parking, vehicular and pedestrian circulation and access,
emergency access, landscape amenities, existing regional trails between Liberty Park

B. Relocate the CCTF to the west side of I-405 within the vacated Houser Way
alignment. A new entrance would be created from Bronson Way, and access would
be restricted to "right-in/right-out." The new facility would be fully operational and
meet all regulatory requirements prior to the removal of the existing facility.

SUBJECT: Engineering Design Contract — Central Plateau Interceptor
Phase II
ISSUE:
The Central Plateau Interceptor Phase II project is in the Wastewater Utilities proposed
2006 CIP for design and construction. In order to meet our timetable for construction
during the dry -season of 2006, we must begin the engineering and permitting process
now.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the engineering consultant contract with Roth Hill Engineering Partners, LLC
for the design and permitting of the Central Plateau Interceptor Phase II project, in the
amount of $258,599, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the consultant
contract.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
In April 2003, the City entered into an agreement with King County to construct a new
sewer interceptor across the proposed Elliott Bridge. Because of the basin it serves, this
interceptor is named the Central Plateau Interceptor. Since that time, the County has
gone through design and permitting issues, ultimately beginning construction of the
project in late 2003. In the summer of 2005, the County dedicated the new bridge,
including our interceptor crossing.
As part of our 2006 Capital Improvement Program request, the Wastewater Utility has
included the second phase of construction for the Central Plateau Interceptor to allow for
direct service from both the westerly upland area and easterly upland area to the
interceptor. Attached is a map showing the proposed limits of work. This project is
anticipated to begin construction during the summer of 2006. In order to meet this
schedule, we need to begin the engineering and permitting for the project this fall.
Mayor/Central Plateau Consulting
October 19, 2005

To provide funding for the design and permitting in 2005, the Wastewater Utility has
evaluated its spending for the year and has determined that we have saved significant
funds as part of our Sunset Interceptor II project. This project is currently entering its
final stage of construction and is running well under the initial anticipated budget.
Originally budgeted at $2.6 million at the beginning of 2005, we now estimate that final
costs will be no more than $2.2 million. This is mostly due to savings on the initial bid
and good construction management by both the contractor and City staff. The following
is a table illustrating the proposed transfer within this account:

Total (421/45000)

The result is that we have an estimated savings of approximately $400,000. It is this
savings we are asking to apply towards the design and permitting efforts for the Central
Plateau Interceptor Phase II project. This shift in accounting does not increase our need
for funding, and both projects reside within the same major account number (421/45000),
but will utilize separate tracking work order numbers.
CONCLUSION:
As part of its 2006 Capital Improvement Program, the Wastewater Utility has included
the Central Plateau Interceptor Phase II project. In order to meet a summer 2006
construction period, it is necessary to begin the engineering and permitting effort in fall
2005. The Wastewater Utility has benefited from project savings in its Sunset Interceptor
Phase II project that can provide the funding in 2005 for this project.

Roth Hill Engineering Partners, LLC
Project No. 0015.00014.000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE
The City of Renton currently operates sanitary sewer systems to the north of the Cedar
River and east of 1-405. These sanitary sewer systems extend east as far as 148`h
Avenue SE and south towards the Cedar River as far as SE 136th Street. A large portion
of this existing sewer system is served by a series of sewer lift stations. In addition,
there is a considerable area of land within the City to the east and south of the existing
sewer system which is not currently served by sewer. As a result, and in conjunction
with King County's Elliott Bridge replacement and associated utility upgrades, the City is
evaluating the installation of new sanitary sewer lines to serve those areas within the
City's service area which are not currently served.
The purpose of this project is to prepare design and provide construction services
related to the installation of new sanitary sewer lines from the north end of King County's
Elliott Bridge project approximately 600 feet to the north on 154th Place SE up the steep
slope approximately 800 feet to the west to 152`d Place SE and up the steep slope
approximately 350 feet to the east to 156`h Avenue SE. It is assumed for the purpose of
this scope and budget that the steep slope portions of the project will be designed and
constructed using horizontal directional drilling technologies. This project will also
include the design of approximately 2,000 feet of sewer using conventional open trench
construction methods from 156th Avenue SE to the intersection of SE 144th Street and
1601h Avenue SE. This project would allow a large area within the City of Renton service
area to be severed by sewers. These properties are currently served either by existing
septic systems or by existing sewer lift stations. This project would also allow for the
future abandonment of the existing sewer lift stations.
Specifically, this project involves: the collection of data on existing utilities, topography,
geotechnical conditions, and anticipated sewage flows; modeling of future flow scenarios
in the tributary basins; evaluation of required pipe sizes and preferred construction
methods; determination of regulatory and easement issues; public information and
involvement; preparation of the design of the project including plans, specifications, and
cost estimates; and construction support services.

SITE DESCRIPTION AND PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The proposed project is located just outside the City of Renton (City) on the north side of the
Cedar River valley. The project comprises the construction of two sanitary sewer mains down
steep slopes to serve the residential area of Maplewood Heights, located along the edge of the
plateau. Previous feasibility studies have identified two alternative alignments on the west side
of 1541h Place SE and one alignment on the east side of 1541h Place SE utilizing horizontal
directional drilling (HDD) to install a 12- to 15-inch-diameter, high -density polyethylene
(HDPE) pipe. To assist Roth Hill with this project, Shannon & Wilson would perform
geotechnical explorations, provide recommendations, and provide the geotechnical portion of the
design for the proposed HDD installations. In addition, we will evaluate potential adverse
impacts to the aquifer currently being used as a source of water for the residence located at the
base of the slope near the West — 2 alternative.
Our scope of services and estimated fee for the HDD alternatives of the steep slope portions of
the project are presented below.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
► To evaluate design and construction issues, we propose the following scope of services.
► Drill three borings, one for the east main and two for the west main alignments.
P. Excavate a test pit at the base of each slope near the location of the entry or exit pits.
► Provide boring and test pit logs and results of laboratory tests.
► Provide a draft and final geotechnical report with recommendations for design and
construction of the HDD installation, including recommended drill paths.
► Evaluate potential adverse impacts to the aquifer on the west side of 1541h Place SE.
► Provide design assistance following delivery of our geotechnical report.
► Review specifications and drawings concerning HDD construction.
> Attend three meetings to discuss design issues, contractor selection, and construction
considerations.
► Provide assistance during HDD construction.
To understand the subsurface conditions likely to be encountered along the drill path of each
HDD alternative, we propose drilling a boring at the top of the east and west slopes to a depth
slightly greater than the height of each hillside. One boring would be drilled at the top of the east
slope to a depth of 120 feet. We anticipate that the boring can be drilled adjacent to the street

using a truck -mounted drill rig. We would also drill one boring at the top of the west slope at the
West — 2 alternative to a depth of about 175 feet. A second west main boring would be drilled to
a depth of about 30 feet at the top of the West — 1 alternative to evaluate shallow subsurface
conditions. We anticipate that drill rig access to both west main borings would be through the
utility right of way off of SE 145`h Place, and that these two borings would be drilled using a
track -mounted drill rig. Minor clearing and grading with a backhoe may be required to reach
these west main drill locations. We also propose excavating a test pit at or near the bases of the
east and west slopes to evaluate conditions where the HDD pipe would daylight. The three
borings and the two test pits will be performed by drilling and backhoe contractors subcontracted
by Shannon & Wilson. For the east main test pit, we have assumed that we will need flaggers
for traffic control along 154`h Place SE, which will be subcontracted to others by Shannon &
Wilson.
We would sample the three borings at 5-foot intervals. Soil spoils generated during drilling will
be drummed and disposed off site. Prior to drilling, we will contact One Call to have existing
utilities at -the location of our proposed borings marked on the ground prior to drilling. All
borings will be drilled using mud rotary methods. A well will be installed in the east boring, and
a well and vibrating wire piezometer (VAT) will be installed in the West - 2 boring.
We have assumed that you or the City will provide all rights -of -entry and permits necessary for
the performance of these explorations other than Department of Ecology well permits, which will
be obtained by the driller. We have also assumed that you will provide us with surveyed
topographic plans of the three routes.
Limited laboratory testing on selected samples obtained from the subsurface explorations will be
performed to evaluate index and engineering properties. Geotechnical testing will include water
content determinations on all samples, eight grain size analyses, and three Atterberg limit
determinations. Water quality testing will be conducted on one water sample drawn from the
West — 2 boring from the depth interval of the residential water supply. We have included time
to measure water levels in wells and VWP three times following installation.
After completing our explorations, we will meet with you to discuss our findings and HDD
construction considerations. The report will include logs of subsurface explorations, laboratory
test results, a subsurface profile of each slope, and our conclusions and engineering
recommendations. We will provide a draft report for your review and a final report addressing
your draft report comments.
We have included time in our scope for three meetings during the course of the work to assist in
the design of the HDD segments. We propose meeting with you once after we deliver the draft
report and twice after we deliver the final report. We have also included time to assist you
during construction (eight hours per week for three weeks).

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Requesting approval of a one-year extension to the Interlocal Agreements between the City and
other participating jurisdictions within the Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIA) 8 and 9. The
City ratified the WRIA 8 Chinook Salmon Conservation Plan and the WRIA 9 Salmon Habitat
Plan in August and October of this year. The extensions of the interlocal agreements are needed
to facilitate the transition between developing the plans to the implementation of the
recommended actions and activities needed to protect and restore habitat for salmon. The
extension to the Interlocal Agreements will fund the resources needed to perform the work
associated with the transition to implementation of the plans and other activities.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an extension of the Interlocal
Agreements between the City and other jurisdictions participating in the WRIA 8 and WRIA 9
salmon conservation planning.

SUBJECT: Extension of WRIA 8 and 9 Salmon Conservation Planning
Interlocal Agreements
ISSUE:
The Planning/Building/Public Works Department requests Council approval of a
resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an extension of the Interlocal
Agreements between the City and other jurisdictions participating in the WRIA 8 and
WRIA 9 salmon conservation planning.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an extension of the
Interlocal Agreements between the City and other jurisdictions participating in the WRIA
8 and WRIA 9 salmon conservation planning.
BACKGROUND:
The Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 8 Chinook Salmon Conservation Plan and
the WRIA 9 Salmon Habitat Plan were completed and ratified by the City in accordance
with the interlocal agreements that were approved for their preparation (CAG-01-004 and
CAG-01-005). The plans were prepared and approved in coordination with a total of 27
jurisdictions in WRIA 8 (Lake Washington/Cedar/Sammamish basins) and 17
jurisdictions within WRIA 9 (Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound basins). The
plans were produced over the last 5 years by the WRIA 9 Steering Committee, which
included representative stakeholder groups including cities, counties, environmental
groups, business groups, state agencies and citizens. The March 1999 listing of the Puget
Sound Chinook salmon as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA)
was the impetus for the preparation of these plans.
Council/WRIA 8 & 9 ILA Extension
October 26, 2005
Page 2 of 2
The WRIA 8 and 9 forums have recommended that each jurisdiction agree to extend the
existing interlocal agreements that were approved for the preparation of the plans to
allow for the transition between the completion of the plans and their implementation.
The extension of the interlocal agreements will fund the staffing resources and resources
needed to transition from planning to implementation of the recommended actions in the
plans and to continue implementation of Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB)
projects and other ongoing activities. The attached work programs and budgets define
the work that each participating jurisdiction within WRIA 8 and 9 will be funding in
2006. A new agreement for plan implementation between jurisdictions is anticipated at
the end of 2006.
The Surface Water Utility has included sufficient funding in the proposed 2006 budget to
fund the extension of the interlocal agreements for WRIA 8 and WRIA 9. The City's
share of the cost associated with the extension of the WRIA 8 and 9 Interlocal
Agreements for 2006 is $11,303 and $10,397 respectively, for a total of $21,700.
These plans incorporated a comprehensive scientific review of the current and future
habitat conditions, current fish use of the habitat and problems that are affecting the
habitat. Based upon the review, actions were identified that can be implemented over the
next 10 years that will help to protect, improve and restore habitat, which is beneficial to
Chinook salmon, bull trout and other fisheries resources. These efforts will complement
habitat improvements in other parts of Puget Sound and changes to hatchery and harvest
practices and contribute to the overall recovery of Puget Sound Chinook salmon and bull
trout. In addition, these measures provide other benefits such as water quality protection,
open space preservation, flood hazard reduction, maintenance of cultural heritage and
general quality of life benefits.
CONCLUSION:
The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends approval of the resolution
authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an extension of the interlocal
agreements between the City and other jurisdictions participating in the WRIA 8 and
WRIA 9 salmon conservation planning.
