In May 2005 the City "invoked" the BRB's jurisdiction, which required them to hold a public hearing on whether to expand the boundaries of this proposed annexation. The BRB met in July 2005 and on July 19, 2005 voted to expand the boundaries of original 31-acre annexation by including a small 13-lot subdivision to the north, approximately nine acres to the east, north of Maplewood Elementary School, and the Puget Colony Homes subdivision to the west. The Board felt that the original 31-acre annexation did not meet some of the relevant planning policies of GMA and the Countywide Planning Policies, as well as specific Objectives that the Board is required to consider. They felt enlarging the annexation to 65.0 acres would result in more logical service areas, protection of existing neighborhoods, and more reasonable boundaries. The subject annexation site is generally located south of NE 41h Street between 140th Avenue SE and Lyon Avenue NE (146th Ave SE) and north of SE 136th Street (see exhibit on back). On August 15, 2005, the City received the Boundary Review Board's Closing Letter for this annexation. On October 24, 2005 the Council held the first of two required public hearings on future zoning for the expanded area, assuming it wants to accept the BRB's expansion. Tonight's public hearing will be the second of at least two required pursuant to RCW 35A.14.340. The expanded annexation site currently has King County's R-4 zoning and there are 83 existing single-family detached dwellings on it. Proposed zoning is R-4 (four units per net acre) on the portion that was the original annexation as well as the nine acres north of Maplewood Elementary School. The remaining portion would be zoned R-8 (eight units per net acre), both consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Ordinances have been prepared for accepting the annexation and imposing concurrent R-8 and R-4 zoning on it, if Council concurs. The Administration is recommending the acceptance of the expanded annexation area and the adoption of R-4 and R-8 zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. It is also recommending first reading of the three ordinances tonight. For additional information regarding this annexation contact Don Erickson at 425-430-6581.

My name is Norman Green My address is 14128 SE 132"d Street, Renton 98059 Circumstances have caused me to be out of town and unavailable for the City's final public comment opportunity regarding the Mosier II annexation proposal. Therefore, I have asked that my following statement be read during the public comment period and be made a part of the public record. I have resided in the Renton area for over 50 years, both within and outside of the City limits. I attended Highlands Elementary, McKnight Jr. High, and Renton High schools. I have been active in my local community for a number of years, participating in a number of. community, committees; forums and associations. I havebeen very-active;regarding annexation actions in the area that has -,become known .as the East Renton Plateau. The Mosier II annexation is: of particular,interest to my -wife and I because the proposed area includes our home. I had the opportunity to come before the BRB during their first public meeting and before this Council during.the October 24th public comment period and express my opposition to this annexation on both occasions. Once again my wife and I wish to strongly express our opposition to this annexation and in particular the means by which this Council sought to include a significant increase in both property parcels and residents beyond that originally proposed by the annexation petition. At the close of the public comment period on October 24th, City staff noted that the Council had provided five opportunities for public comment regarding this particular annexation. The Council then quickly moved to accept the proposed boundary expansion without further discussion. It was obvious that the Council had reached a unanimous decision prior to the public meeting and would not be swayed or influenced by any opposition views or comments. From my previous experience with this Council regarding annexation actions, this action was unfortunately not surprising or unusual. What would be. surprising and unusual would be for the Council to take seriously any opposing comments made by residents of the area and to question if recommendations by City staff and .subsequent actions taken by this. Council in these meters were appropriate, and in the best: interest of both existing residents and those they wish, to , force residency upon. This Council, the Mayor and certain members of the City staff have continually given misleading and contradicting information to residents who either seek annexation or oppose it. A good example of this is the continual comparison of development by the City verses that of the County. Although your comparison may be accurate given equal opportunity for development, this is not the case on the Plateau. The degree by which the County can develop to their zoned density levels in the unincorporated urban area is incumbent on the installation of sewers. The simple fact is that the County doesn't install sewers in our area, Renton does and unless the City installs the sewers, development under County control at any level approaching that declared by City staff is not possible. Yet the City continually challenges residents with the decision between City development densities or higher but unrealistic County densities. Your actions to request the BRB to review and approve the addition of over twice the area and over 10 fold the number of residents without providing these residents the opportunity to say yea or nay is inexcusable and reflects the continued arrogance of this City's leadership. Further, your justification that the residents were given the opportunity to express their displeasure with this action through the public comment process is groundless. Residents opposed to annexation actions by this Council have learned through years of demonstrated actions by the City Council that their comments are not seriously considered when Council members make their decisions, nor does the Council attempt to explain why their determination was made contrary to comments by the opposition. If it were not for the legal requirement that the City do so, I believe that public comments would not be allowed in these actions at all. It is not surprising that there are existing communities within Renton that maintain legal council on retainer to ensure the City leaders do not overstep their bounds. As I stated on October 24th, I am not an advocate for King County government nor do I believe that the King County bureaucracy effectively and responsibly represents its constituents in this area. However, I also don't believe that the City of Renton is any improvement. I do not believe that my basic services will improve and I do believe my overall tax burden will increase. The City has not made any verbal or budgetary commitments to improve services of annexed areas. I strongly believe that the City Councils previous actions, views, and attitudes regarding the East Renton Plateau area have been and continue to be the most accurate barometer of the Council's actions, views and attitudes regarding residents in the future. This Councils action regarding the expansion of the Mosier II annexation boundary reflects your refusal to address the real problems this City has with attracting significant acceptance to annexation to Renton. I would once again ask this Council to carefully and honestly exam why there is such resistance by what I believe is a significant majority of residents within the unincorporated urban East Renton Plateau area to any annexation to Renton. If being a resident of the City has so many advantages over remaining in the County, then you would expect that a majority of residents would be beating down your door to be annexed, not just those residents whose property sales to developers at inflated values is contingent on being annexed to Renton to ensure access to the City's sewer system. As 1 stated in my earlier comments to this Council, your actions and those of the BRB to expand this annexation proposal may be legal technically, it certainly is not right ethically or morally. Without regard to those living in the proposed expansion area, this Council has seen fit to force nearly 100 residents into the City without providing them any recourse what so ever. These residents didn't get a vote, didn't get to read or sign (or not sign) a petition, or participate in the process at all, except to provide public comment to a Council that seemingly doesn't care anyway. I caution all residents within any of Renton's potential annexation area to fully understand the implications of what this Council is proposing to do with the Mosier II annexation expansion. Further, residents should expect that the actions taken by this Council to expand significantly the annexation area beyond that declared on the petition passed through the community to be a method the City will use again to gain control of those areas where support for annexation is limited. If you live in an already developed neighborhood and believe that the City would not or could not include you in an annexation process, think again. If your neighborhood is not included on the petition, do not rest easy or become complacent, the Mosier II expansion demonstrates this Councils attitude toward such neighborhoods and the residents within them. For those residents who expect the Council to allow you to vote on any potential annexation, this Council did not even give the residents the opportunity to read the annexation petition, let alone participate in any formal petition process or vote. In summary, as long time residents of this area with more experience in dealing with this Council than any resident should have to, my wife and I adamantly oppose the proposed expanded Mosier II annexation.

RECOMMENDATION: Approve the stream reclassification for the subject property (APN 3343903201, 3343903203 (portion), and 3343903563 (portion) in the vicinity of Jones Avenue NE and NE 20th Street. The stream classification would change from Class 4 (35-foot buffer required) to Class 5 (unregulated). BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Recently adopted Critical Areas Regulations (RMC4-3-050L) classify stream types within the City as Class 1 through Class 5. The inventoried streams are shown on a Water Class Map (Exhibit A). A property owner has property with a stream designated as Class 4 (35 foot buffer required). They have requested that the stream be reclassified to a Class 5 (unregulated). This requires administrator approval and a legislative amendment approved by City Council. The five -tier classification system and map were adopted for the purposes of regulating streams and lakes in the City. Corresponding buffer widths are based on the rating system. The approximate location and extent of Class 2 to 4 water bodies within the City limits are indicated on a map that is used as a guide. The specific location and extent is determined through field studies. Where there is a conflict between the Water Class Map and criteria listed in the RMC, the criteria govern. Category 4 Stream Reclassification Page 2 of 3 November 10, 2005 RMC 4-11-190 defines Class 4 and 5 streams as follows: Class 4: Class 4 waters are non-salmonid-bearing perennial waters during years of normal rainfall, and/or mapped on Figure 4-3-050Q4, Renton Water Class Map, as Class 4. Class 5: Class 5 waters are non -regulated non-salmonid-bearing waters which meet one or more of the following criteria: a. Flow within an artificially constructed channel where no naturally defined channel had previously existed; and/or b. Are a surficially isolated water body less than one half (0.5) acre (e.g., pond) not meeting the criteria for a wetland as defined in RMC 4-3-050M. The stream on the subject properties (1828 NE 201n Street, 2010 and 2120 Jones Avenue NE) is shown on the City's Stream Class Map as Class 4. In May of this year, a consultant (Blue Line Group) requested a pre -application meeting to discuss possible subdivision of the property. The Blue Line Group, indicated that the on -site ditch met the definition of a Class 5 stream, which would not be regulated under City Code. To support their position, they provided staff with a wetland delineation report (dated October 20, 2004) prepared by Ellisport Engineering, Incorporated, and a stream classification letter (dated April 25, 2005). Furthermore, a letter outlining the history of the ditch and the original easement documentation for the construction of the ditch were provided by the developer, Terry Dutro of Masterbuilder Construction. According to RMC 4-3-050.L1.C.ii, the reclassification of a water body to a lower class (i.e. 2 to 3, or 3 to 4, etc.) may be requested providing the administrator accepts a supplemental stream or lake study, followed by a legislative amendment to the Water Class Map. The submitted materials were reviewed by the administrator and the City's on -call stream and wetlands consultant, The Watershed Company, in July. A letter (Exhibit B) was sent to Terry Dutro on July 29`n, stating that sufficient information had not been provided to the City to show that the Class 4 Stream located on the subject site should be reclassified to a lower classification. The developer filed a letter (Exhibit C) with the Hearing Examiner on August 121n, seeking to appeal the City's determination. However, the letter contained additional new information, which has been considered by the administrator. This new information included aerial photos (Exhibits D & E) from 1946 that indicated no natural watercourse existed on the subject site. The previous property owner was interviewed, and he stated in a conversation that he had hand -dug the ditch on the site in 1958. He also stated that to the best of his recollection, that there was no natural watercourse on the property. In addition, the owner of the blueberry farm to the south was interviewed. He said that the area had been a swamp and was drained by the Army Corps of Engineers by digging a drainage ditch. The soil was too soft for heavy equipment, so mules were used to dig the h:\division.s\develop.ser\dev&plan.ing\jth\streams\issue paper for stream.doc Category 4 Stream Reclassification Page 3 of 3 November 10, 2005 ditch. A residential development near the blueberry farm empties a storm drain into this ditch. The developer concluded that the surrounding area drains into a man-made ditch, where no previous natural watercourse existed. Based on this supplemental information, and the administrator's decision to forward the request for stream reclassification onto Council, the appeal was withdrawn. CONCLUSION: New information provided by the developer, including aerial photos from 1946 and interviews with the previous landowner support the developer's request for reclassification of the stream through the property. Because the ditch is a non-salmonid bearing water flowing within an artificially constructed channel where no naturally defined channel had previously existed, it qualifies for the Class 5 stream designation, and is therefore unregulated. 4-3-050Q Figure 4-3-05004 Exhibit A STREAMS AND LAKES (Revised 6/05) 3 - 20.50 R CITY -)F RFNTON ..0 Planning/Building/PublicWorks Department Kathy ICeolkcr-Wheeler, Mayor Gregg Zimmerman P.E., Administrator July 29, 2005 Exhibit 6 Masterbuilder Construction Terry Dutro 10711 SE 301h St Bellevue, WA 98004 Subject: Reclassification request for a Category 4 stream Jones Avenue NE & NE 20`h Street vicinity Dear Mr. Dutro: This letter is in response to your request for the reclassification of a stream as designated on the City of Renton Water Class map. As specified in the City's Critical Areas Ordinance adopted in May of this year, .reclassification of Maps and Inventory requires Administrator acceptance of the Supplemental Stream Study. The Administrator of Development Services, upon reviewing the Wetland Delineation and Stream analysis provided by your consultant Ellisport Engineering, Inc, requested a secondary wetland review. On July 18, 2005 the Watershed Company conducted a stream and wetland evaluation on the site known as proposed Blueberry Meadow Preliminary Plat. Included in the evaluation was a review of the documentation'submitted with the request. A copy of Watershed Company's findings has been forwarded to you. FINDING/DECISION. Sufficient information has not been provided to the City to show that the Class 4 Stream located ow the subject site does not meet the criteria for such a classification under the Critical'Areas Ordinance adopted May of 2005. Therefore, the decision has been made not to accept the Supplemental Stream Study consideration to the City Council for legislative amendment to the Water Class map. RECONSIDERATION. Within 14 days of the effective date of the decision, any party may request that the Administrator reopen a decision. The Administrator may modify his decision if material evidence not readily discoverable prior to the original decision is found or if he finds there was misrepresentation of fact. After review of the reconsideration request, if the Administrator finds insufficient evidence to amend the original decision, there will be no further extension of the appeal period. Any person wishing to take further action must file a formal appeal within the following appeal timeframe. APPEAL. This administrative decision will become final if not appealed in writing to the Hearing Examiner on or before 5:00 PM on August 12, 2005. Appeals to the Examiner are governed by City of Renton Municipal Code Section 4-8-110. Additional information regarding the appeal process may be obtained from the Renton City Clerk's 1055 South Grady Way - Renton, Washington 98055 R E N T O N Office, (425) 430-6510. Appeals must be filed in writing, together with the required $75.00 application fee, to: Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055.

I have included aerial photos from 1946 and 2002. This evidence should answer the question brought up by The Watershed Company (environmental review) concerning the existence of a natural. watercourse. New information has been brought to light proving that the existing stream was artificially created and that no natural watercourse existed. Aerial photos from 1946 show no signs of a watercourse in the proposed Blueberry Meadows property, or to the blueberry farm to the south, or property to the north. The headwaters were located on the blueberry farm to the south (see picture). I talked to the farmer about the history of his farm. He informed me the area had been a swamp and was drained by the Army Corps of Engineers by digging a drainage ditch. The soil was too soft for heavy equipment so they used mules. A development near the blueberry farm empties a storm drain into this ditch. The previous owner of the Blueberry Meadows property dug the ditch in 1958. I recently had a conversation with him. He stated that to the best of his recollection there was no natural watercourse on his property, and he thought that the ditch on the blueberry farm to the south dried up in the summer at that time. In conclusion, the surrounding area drains into a man-made ditch, no previous natural watercourse existed. I propose to move the ditch to the west property line of the Blueberry Meadows development to allow for the most efficient use of the land. Please consider this evidence when determining that this stream should be changed to a Category Five under the new Critical Areas Ordinance. Thank you, t► i I fir.

Renton event. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: King County Solid Waste Division (KCSWD) established a Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant Program for cities that participate in the King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan. This grant provides funding to further the development and enhancement of local waste reduction and recycling projects and for broader resource conservation projects that integrate with waste reduction and recycling programs. In an effort to reduce unnecessary paperwork and staff time, and to increase program efficiency, the County combined two former grant programs, including the City Optional Program and the WR/R Program into one grant, now referred to as the Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant. The Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant offers cities more flexibility in the allocation of funding to projects that more closely align with cities' priorities for waste reduction/recycling and resource conservation projects. Projects of past grant programs provided by KCSWD were more narrowly defined. Council/WR/R Grant November 18, 2005 Page 2 of 2 The 2005 Projects BUSINESS RECYCLING PROGRAM Renton's Solid Waste Utility began implementation of a Business Recycling Program in 1993 with funding from the Department of Ecology. The program continued through 2003 with funding from the King County City Optional Program (COP) and the Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant. The Business Recycling Program seeks to increase business and institution recycling, waste reduction and buy recycled activities through technical assistance. Contact with the business community through the Business Recycling Program has been very positive. A recent consultant report that compared commercial recycling rates in the suburban cities indicated that Renton (along with Tukwila) had a higher rate of commercial recycling than other cities. In addition, research has shown that commercial recycling rates fall when attention and technical assistance to business recycling declines. The City's sustained emphasis of the Business Recycling Program will continue to reinforce the positive waste reduction and recycling strategies that place Renton among the top commercial recycling performers. In 2005, we will continue to concentrate our efforts with the Renton School District, electronic recycling, and general business technical assistance. SPECIAL RECYCLING EVENTS The Special Recycling Events (Recycling Days) have grown in popularity and the volume of materials recycled since their inception in 1990. These events serve over a thousand households each year. Recycling Days serve the community well and provide an opportunity for Renton residents to recycle a higher volume of materials while improving the appearance of their neighborhoods through the process of a general clean-up/recycle event. In 2003/2004, the County provided additional funding to Renton to expand the Recycling Days to unincorporated county customers who live just outside the Renton City limits. While we've never discriminated between city and unincorporated county customers at past events, this additional funding allows us to recover all costs associated with serving this population, in addition to serving Renton customers. The additional allocation is applied directly to the Recycling Days, providing for increased per -dollar efficiency of the events while allowing the Solid Waste Utility the flexibility to fund other areas of need. NATURAL YARD CARE PROGRAM Through the Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant Program, the Solid Waste Utility continues its Natural Yard Care Program. Piloted in 2001, this program works directly with residents of recruited Renton neighborhoods to teach them alternative yard care management strategies and provide them with appropriate tools to be successful. The goal of this program is to find an effective and sustainable method to teach Renton residents how to reduce their reliance on chemicals in the maintenance of their yards. Evaluation of the program has indicated residents' adoption of many of the strategies taught, leading ultimately to healthier landscapes. REUSE IT! RENTON The Solid Waste Utility introduced Reuse It! Renton, Stop & Swap, a waste reduction project as part of the pilot Clean Sweep Renton campaign. The goal of this event is to help customers reduce waste through a community -wide exchange of household goods, furniture, and building products. cc: Lys Hornsby, Utility Systems Director HAFile Sys\SWU - Solid Waste Utility\SWU-08 - KC Grants\SWU-08-0011 - VM - 2004- 2005\issueAmend0405. doc\LKtp Summary of 2005 Expenditures/Reimbursement 2004-2005 Waste Reduction/Recycling Grant This grant is for 2005 expenditures. The grant expenditures were planned for in the 2005 Solid Waste Utility budget and were approved by Council through the budget approval process. The Solid Waste Utility will be reimbursed for expenditures related to the tasks outlined in the 2005 scope of work. The Solid Waste Utility will submit its final report and reimbursement request for 2005 expenditures in the first quarter of 2006. The reimbursement to the Utility will be received in the first quarter of 2006. Here is a summary of the grant budget and expenditures for each task (to date). Special Recycling Events 2005 Grant Budget: $38,872.00 Expenditures to date: $32,969.37 Balance: $ 5,902.63 Business Recycling Program 2005 Grant Budget: $66,901.12 (this includes unspent 2004 funds that carried over to 2005) Expenditures to date: $10,499.92 (this is a consultant contract that has not been fully invoiced) Balance: $56,401.20 Organics/Natural Yard Care Program 2005 Grant Budget: $15,000.00 Expenditures to date: $15,427.28 Balance: ($427.28) Renton Reuse Event 2005 Grant Budget: $19,395.78 Expenditures to date: $18,508.86 (does not include staff costs and overhead) Balance: $ 886.92 The Solid Waste Utility still has work remaining on some of these tasks that will be included in the final reimbursement request. This grant is very flexible in that for tasks that have a balance at the end of the grant period, we will be able to move that balance to one of the other tasks within the scope of work and apply additional costs to that specific task. For example, although a significant portion of the Business Recycling Program is happening in November/December, I anticipate we will have a balance at the end of the grant period. This balance may be moved to the Renton Reuse Event, and we will be able to recoup some or all of the staff costs associated with that event.

Task: NON-RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING & RESOURCE CONSERVATION a. Project Manager: Linda Knight, Solid Waste Coordinator b. Consultant: Cascadia Consulting Group, Inc Gwen Vernon, Project Manager c. Schedule: January 2, 2005 — December 31, 2005 d. Goal: To promote waste reduction/recycling/buy recycled strategies to non-residential solid waste customers in the City of Renton e. Program/Project Specifics 1) Background/History: The City of Renton, Washington began an ambitious commercial recycling program in 1993 in order to increase resource efficiency among its business community and meet King County's recycling goals of 65% by 2000. Because Renton recognizes the impact businesses can have to the overall waste reduction/recycling objective of the region, it has continued to focus efforts in this sector. While earlier efforts focused on Citywide canvassing of businesses, more recent efforts have focused on specific industry types and the institutional sector. 2) Program/Project Description: The consultant will continue to provide technical assistance for waste reduction, recycling, and buying recycled to businesses over the phone, through mailings, and on -site as needed or requested. General assistance will include, but not be limited to, outlining strategies for implementing waste prevention, recycling, and "buy recycled" activities including waste assessments, and presentations to businesses. Focused assistance will continue with the Renton School District as we strive to get all schools and district facilities to implement strong waste reduction & recycling practices. New approaches to targeting and assisting businesses may be established. The City and its consultant will coordinate with other State and local agencies implementing aspects of business recycling programs. Examples include use of King County Solid Waste Division's CDL resource guide, and Portland Metro's Job site Recycling case study fact sheets. City and Consultant staff will also coordinate with County staff and consultants to coordinate outreach efforts to increase awareness and participation in waste reduction & recycling efforts. 3) Deliverables: • Implementation of the 2005 campaign, including designing, printing and mailing of a graphic mailer to all Renton businesses; • Recruitment of at least 25 Renton businesses to participate in waste reduction assistance; • Technical assistance to up to three (3) Renton schools; • Continued WR/R & IPM Technical assistance to Renton School District • Promotion of Green Businesses through recognition by Renton's Mayor and City Council • Promotion of electronic ban through a special (one time) Business Electronics collection King County Solid Waste WR/R Grant Revised: November 23, 2005 Page 6 of 8 4) Expected Outcomes/Impacts: • 3 schools will start (or increase an existing) waste reduction & recycling program Increase awareness of 25 businesses about recycling & waste reduction strategies Participation in an E-Waste Collection program by a minimum of 15 businesses 5) Evaluation: • # of businesses contacted # of businesses receiving a site visit Response to campaign 6) Budget: $66,901.12 City Staff Time and Overhead $ 2,000.00 Professional Services $64,901.12 3. Task: ORGANICS — NATURAL YARD CARE PROGRAM a. Project Manager: Spencer Orman, Solid Waste Education Specialist Phone: 425-430-7397 Email: sorman@ci.renton.wa.us b. Consultant: None c. Schedule: January 2, 2005 — December 31, 2005 d. Goal: To increase residential awareness of yard care management strategies that improve the health of the landscape while decreasing reliance on the City's curbside yard waste collection program. e. Program/Project Specifics 1) Background/History: In 1995 and 1996 the City implemented a residential compost program targeting food waste. This program was successful in recruiting and teaching 250 residents in the proper methods of composting food waste with worm bins. An extensive evaluation of the program was conducted and indicated that the majority of the participants were successful in harvesting compost from their bins. Although the program was successful and fun to manage, staff realized how intensive worm bins can be for many residents. Staff also recognized that the amount of diversion realized from the program was small and that achievement of a higher diversion (from curbside) might only be realized by concentrating efforts to educate residents of the merits and methods of backyard, yard waste composting. In 1997 the City began educating residents on yard waste composting and delivery of backyard compost bins. The City will now expand the yard waste reduction effort by focusing on natural lawn care including grasscycling. King County Solid Waste WR/R Grant Revised: November 23, 2005 Page 7 of 8 In 2001, the City conducted a Natural Lawn care pilot program in the Kennydale neighborhood. Working with the residents, the City conducted 4 workshops in resident's homes, targeting specific messages to encourage residents to manage their lawns in an ecologically friendly manner. Workshops concentrated on grasscycling, backyard & food waste composting, water conservation, and organic fertilization. Specific tools were provided to aid residents in their efforts to change their behaviors. Through 2004 the City continued with this program in two distinct neighborhoods and broadening the message to incorporate natural "yard" care strategies similar to the 2001 pilot. Response to the program has been positive. 2) Program Project Description Staff will provide natural yard care education and outreach to selected neighborhoods. Up to 5 workshops will be offered to residential participants. Participants will be required to attend a minimum of 3 workshops. Specialists will be called in to talk about their specialty (ie: water conservation, organic fertilization, etc). All of the strategies covered enhance the health of residential landscapes leading to reduction in reliance on the curbside yard waste collection and use of pesticides and water. Participants will receive specific tools to aid them in changing their behavior. A series of surveys will be conducted to measure knowledge before and after the program, as well as measure the extent of behavior change for each participant. The City will partner with the regional grasscycling program to the extent possible. 3) Deliverables: • Provide natural yard care education outreach to a minimum of 20 residents at demonstration event or workshops 4) Expected Outcomes/Impacts: • 85% of participants that attend natural yard care demonstration will pledge to implement practices at home 5) Evaluation: • Whether we meet our attendance goal at the natural yard care workshops • Conduct survey of attendants at natural yard care demonstration or workshops to determine how many will implement natural yard care practices at home 6) Budget: $15,000.00 City Staff Time & Overhead: $9,000.00 Staff Training: $ 900.00 Professional Services: $1,750.00 Supplies/tools: $3,300.00 Parking/mileage $ 50.00 King County Solid Waste WR/R Grant Revised: November 23, 2005 Page 8 of 8 4. Task: RENTON REUSE EVENT — REUSE IT! RENTON a. Project Manager: Linda Knight, Solid Waste Coordinator Phone: 425430-7397 Email: lknight@ci.renton.wa.us b. Consultant: None c. Schedule: January 2, 2005 — December 31, 2005 d. Goal: To divert materials from the landfill by providing, an opportunity for residents to swap materials that still have a useable life. 1) Background/History: The City recognizes that waste prevention & recycling are the top waste management strategies in the solid waste hierarchy. The City's past residential programs have emphasized general education as well as behavior change programs including: backyard composting workshops, natural yard care workshops, waste reduction pledge programs, and general recycling outreach. 2) Program Project Description: Under this task staff will plan and implement a one -day reuse event. The event will be held at a central location in the City. It will provide an opportunity for residents of the greater Renton community to exchange materials that still have some useful life, but are no longer of value to the original owner. Residents will be able to drop off furniture, toys, household goods, sports equipment, doors, windows, and other materials approved by Renton staff. Residents may also come to the event to take home materials others have dropped off. Materials not claimed by the end of the event will be recycled or land filled. Residents will be notified of this event through a direct mail campaign, ads placed in the local newspaper, and the City's website. Volunteers and City staff will staff the event. 3) Deliverables: ReUse It! Renton, reuse exchange event 4) Expected Outcomes/Impacts: • Divert useful materials from the landfill 5) Evaluation: • Estimate of volume of materials diverted from landfill Estimate of participants 6) Budget: $19,395.78 Professional Services $19,395.78 CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON RESOLUTION NO.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION L Section 4-1-170.A of Chapter 1, Public Works Fees, of Title IV (Development Regulations) of Ordinance No. 4260 entitled "Code of General Ordinances of the City of Renton, Washington" is hereby amended by adding an annexation fee, to read as follows; Annexation by 60% Direct Petition and 50/50 Petition Method $2,500.00 SECTION IL Sections 4-1-180.H and I of Chapter 1, Public Works Fees, of Title IV (Development Regulations) of Ordinance No. 4260 entitled "Code of General Ordinances of the City of Renton, Washington" are hereby amended to read as follows: H. TEMPORARY UTILITY CONNECTION FEES: Temporary Connections Surface Water Fee Wastewater and Water Fee Temporary connections to a Annual fee equal to ten Annual fee equal to ten City utility system may be percent (10%) of the current percent (10%) of the current granted for a one-time, system development charge system development charge temporary, short-term use applicable to that portion of applicable to that portion of of a portion of the property the property, but not less the property, but not less for a period not to exceed than seven hundred fifty than one thousand three (3) consecutive years nine dollars ($759.00) per seventeen dollars ($1,017) ear* I per year* ORDINANCE NO. * Said fee shall be paid annually (nonprorated), and shall be nonrefundable, nomransferable (from one portion of the 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 lime 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 ofthe 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 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: i. 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 from 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 (1)(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. i. 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 Tune 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, applications) 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 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: 7 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. b. System Development Charge Table: Type of Land Use Water Fee Amount Wastewater Fee Surface Water Fee Amount Amount Single family residence $1,956.00 per $1,017.00 per $759.00 per dwelling (Including dwelling unit dwelling unit unit Mobile/Manufactured homes Multi-family(in all $1,174.00 per $610.00 per dwelling $0.265 per square zones except CD and dwelling unit unit (auxiliary foot of new COR zones) (auxiliary buildings buildings like club impervious like club houses are houses are considered surfacing, but not considered inclusive inclusive to the less than $759.00 to the development development and are and are not counted not counted as a as a dwelling unit and dwelling unit and are are thus not included thus not included in in the calculation of the calculation of the the fee) fee Mixed Use (in all zones Mixed use buildings Mixed use buildings $0.265 per square except CD and COR with over 50% floor with over 50% floor foot of new zones) space used for space used for impervious surface, residential shall be residential shall be but not less than assessed at the rate of assessed at the rate of $759.00 $1,174.00 per $610.00 per dwelling dwelling unit unit CD and COR zones $0.273 per gross $0.142 per gross $0.265 per square square foot of square foot of foot of new property, but not less property, but not less impervious surface, than $1,956.00 than $1,017.00 but not less than $759.00 All other uses $0.273 per gross $0.142 per gross $0.265 per square square foot of square foot of foot of new property, but not less property, but not less impervious surface, than $1,956.00 than $1,017.00 but not less than $759.00 8 ORDINANCE NO. C. 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. Ifthere is an additional or larger meter solely for fire flow or additional hydrants required for the proposed development, please refer also to sub- section (1)(2)(dxii) 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 GPNWroposed 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. WATER METER EQUIVALENCIES for purposes of calculating redevelopment credit: Meter Size In Inches Safe Maximum Oper&tting Capacity (GPM) 5/8 20 5/8 x 3/4 20 V ORDINANCE NO. 3/4 30 1 50 1-1/2 100 2 160 3 300 4 500 6 1000 8 1600 10 2300 12 3375 20 8250 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 (300/*) 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). 10 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. iii. 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: 0.9 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)/(160 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. iii. 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. easements) 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: i. 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. iii. 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 18 ORDINANCE NO. 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. SEMM M This ordinance shall be effective upon its passage, approval, and 30 days after publication. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCEL this day of , 2005. Bonnie I. Walton, City Clerk 19 ORDINANCE NO.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, AMENDING SECTION 4-9-060 OF CHAPTER 9, PERMITS — SPECIFIC; OF TITLE IV (DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS) OF ORDINANCE NO. 4260 ENTITLED "CODE OF GENERAL ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON" BY ALLOWING APPLICATION FOR A FEE IN LIEU OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS. THE CITY COUNCIL OF TBE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION. Section 4-9-060.C.9 of Chapter 9, Permits — Specific, of Title IV (Development Regulations) of Ordinance No. 4260 entitled "Code of General Ordinances of the City of Renton, Washington" is hereby amended to read as follows: 9. Fee In Lieu Of Required Street Improvements: a. General. The provisions of this section establish under what circumstances the requirements of this chapter may be satisfied with payment of a fee in lieu of required street impovements. b. Authori To. Grant and Duration. (1) Application: If the proposed development of the subject property requires approval through a short plat approval described in the subdivision ordinance, a request for payment of a fee in lieu of street improvements will be considered as part of this process under the provisions of this section. (2) Duration: If granted under a short plat review process, the authorization to pay a fee in lieu of street improvements is binding on the City for all development permits issued for that short plat approval under the Building Code within 1 v ORDINANCE NO. five (5) years of the granting of the request for payment of a fee in lieu of street improvements. C. Standards: The City will not accept the applicant's proposed payment of a fee in lieu of street improvements if the Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator or his/her designee determines that it is in the City's interest that the street improvements be installed abutting the subject property, taking into account such factors as the pedestrian safety impacts that result from the development.
