SPECIAL PRESENTATION Recreation Director Sylvia Allen commented on the success of Renton's athletic
Community Services: Athletic programs, pointing out that new programs and participants are added every year
Programs without adding extra staff. She introduced Andy O'Brien, Recreation Program
Coordinator, who reported on the athletic programs. Mr. O'Brien stated that
over 105,000 participants and spectators were involved with the programs in
2004, and over 1,800 volunteer hours helped support the more than 100
different athletic programs.
Recreation Specialist Sean Claggett reviewed the youth athletic programs,
which include sports leagues, special events, sports camps, and sports classes
and clinics. Mr. O'Brien then reviewed the adult athletic programs, which
include basketball, volleyball, and softball leagues.
Bonnie Rerecich, Recreation Supervisor, addressed the growth and customer
service aspect of the programs, noting the 76%v growth in participation over the
past four years. Mr. O'Brien noted the value of Renton athletics to the
May 16, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 176
PUBLIC MEETING
Annexation: Merritt 11, SE
community, which include health and wellness benefits, field scheduling and
community partnerships, and econoudc benefits. In conclusion, Mr. O'Brien
reported that the goal for the future of Renton athletics is to continue to
maximize the City's resources while having a positive impact on the quality of
life in Renton.
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
May Valley Rd & Coal Creek public meeting to consider the boundaries, phased implementation, and R-1 and
Parkway R-4 zoning for the expanded Merritt Il Annexation. The site is bounded by
Lyons Ave. NE on the east; approximately SE 101st St., if extended, on the
south; and the City of Renton boundary, SE 95th Way and 136th Ave. SE on
the west.
Senior Planner Don Erickson stated that Council accepted the 50% petition to
annex in April 2004, and King County invoked the Boundary Review Board's
jurisdiction in August 2004 requesting expansion of the boundaries from 20.6
acres to 133 acres. After holding hearings on the matter, the Boundary Review
Board approved the expanded boundaries in February 2005.
Mr. Erickson noted the 54 existing dwellings on the annexation site. Ile also
noted that the site is served by the following public services: Water District
#90, Coal Creek Utility District, Renton water, Fire Districts # 10 and #25, and
the Renton and Issaquah School Districts. He reported that the site's existing
King County zoning is R-1 (one dwelling unit per gross acre) and R-4 (four
dwelling units per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the
site as Residential Low Density, and it was prezoned R-I (one dwelling unit per
net acre) and R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre).
Continuing, Mr. Erickson reviewed the fiscal impact analysis, assuming a new
home value of $500,000 and a potential of 96 single-family homes at full
development. The City will realize a deficit of $1 1,417 at current development,
and a deficit of $7,738 at full development. He noted that there is a deficiency
of parks in the area, and that there are surface water issues related to May
Creek. Mr. Erickson concluded that the proposed annexation is within the best
interests and general welfare of the City, and furthers City business goals.
Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch commented on the
proposed phased implementation of the annexation, explaining that the purpose
of the phasing has to do with King County's funding for a portion of the Duvall
Ave. NE improvements project, which lies within the annexation area. lie
explained that the proposed ordinance authorizes the annexation in its entirety;
however, the effective date of Phase II will be delayed for twelve months.
Phase I encompasses approximately 74.87 acres of the subject area, and Phase
Ll encompasses approximately 47.93 acres.
Public comment was invited.
Andrew Duffus, 9605 143rd Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, voiced his support for the
annexation. He expressed his concern regarding non -conforming non -legal
uses in the subject area, and recommended that the City address the matter of
illegal businesses.
Jean Rollins, 9605 143rd Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, stated that she favored the
annexation. Ms. Rollins expressed her fears regarding the area's surface water
problems, and the impact of future development. She stressed that the City
16, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Pane 177
must be very strict in the implementation of its codes and regulations,
especially those that will relieve the serious and complex surface water issues.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY LAW,

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Planning: Highlands Sub -Area accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
Plan Study Area Moratorium public hearing to consider the six-month moratorium on new development in
the R-10 (Residential - 10 dwelling units per acre) and RM-F (Residential
Multi -Family) zones in the Highlands Sub -Area Plan study area generally
located between Aberdeen Ave. NE and Monroe Ave. NE, and between NE
23rd St. and NE 5th Pl.
Rebecca Lind, Planner Manager, explained that the City is beginning a new
sub -area planning process for the Highlands that will result in land use actions
and densities needed for redevelopment. This is in line with the 2005 Business
Plan. The purpose of the moratorium is to provide time for staff to: develop
policies and new development standards; conduct a public outreach program;
and gain property owner, business owner, and resident input and support for the
plan. Ms. Lind reported the staff recommendation to exclude Renton School
District property at Hillcrest School from the moratorium, and noted that the
resolution has been revised to that effect.
Continuing, Ms. Lind indicated that the subject area's current zoning does not
allow the higher densities needed to stimulate a larger redevelopment effort.
Some existing lots are large enough to subdivide at lower densities, which
perpetuate a land use pattern inconsistent with the adopted City goals and
vision for the Center Village Land Use Designation. She stated that the current
R-10 zoning allows single-family detached uses in areas that will be evaluated
for higher density as part of the Highlands Area Sub -Area Plan. The current
RM-F zoning allows piecemeal development of underutilized parcels that
undermines implementation of the overall development effort.
Ms. Lind stated that staff recommends continuing the six-month moratorium,
with review in October. She reported that the study area includes R-8 single-
family neighborhoods and commercially zoned areas that encourage mixed -use
residential and commercial development at higher densities. She noted that the
moratorium does not include these areas, and does not affect commercial
businesses or mixed -use projects. Ms. Lind concluded that a moratorium is
needed for the following reasons: to provide time to develop new standards
that reflect the City's vision for the Highlands, and to work with property
owners to implement its goals; to relieve pressure from immediate development
in the area; and to improve the City's ability to market property as a result of the
new zoning and policy directions.
May 16, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 178
Councilman Corman noted that live fire training is to be conducted on a duplex
in the vicinity of Kirkland Ave. NE and NE 16th St., and he inquired if the
potential redevelopment of the property will be affected by the moratorium.
Ms. Lind stated that she will investigate the matter.
Public comment was invited.
Kathleen Ossenkop, 3316 NE 12th St., Renton, 98056, stated that she has lived
in the area since 1966, and she enjoys her unique street and current life style.
She noted the existence of covenants registered with King County in 1949 that
limit each parcel on her block to 6,000 square feet. Ms. Ossenkop expressed
her concern that increasing the density will negatively affect the quality of life
of the residents. Pointing out that the City does not have the infrastructure to
support high densities and that more single-family residences are needed. she
recommended that the area's zoning remain the same.
Iris Adams, 1209 Monroe Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, pointed out that she has
lived in the area since 1965, and stated that she is against high density and
wants the single-family housing to remain. She also expressed concern about
the potential of high -density development on a property that neighbors hers.
Councilman Corman stated that the point of the study is to evaluate the density
levels. As a Highlands resident, he relayed that he is interested in learning how
to encourage redevelopment in areas where aging World War II duplexes exist.
Mr. Corman encouraged residents to specify what improvements they want to
see in the area, saying that he is convinced the area can be improved.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler emphasized that the subject of the public hearing is
the moratorium, and not the development specifics. She pointed out that the
moratorium will provide time for the City to conduct the study.
Glenda Johnson, 1216 Monroe Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, favored the
moratorium, and welcomed the study. She encouraged sensitivity, establishing
higher density where it makes sense, and maintaining the character of the
neighborhoods.
Keith Demps, 2308 NE 24th St., Renton, 98056, voiced his support for the
moratorium. He stated that he is a developer and has plans for projects in the
area in the upcoming months. Mr. Kemps inquired as to whether he can move
forward with his projects.
Zanetta Fontes, Assistant City Attorney, explained that vested projects are
allowed, which means that the project application must have been accepted by
the City prior to the declaration of the moratorium.
Discussion ensued regarding the timing of Mr. Demps' projects, the permit
process, and the types of projects. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that staff
will review Mr. Kemp's issues. Councilman Corman indicated that it is not the
City's intent to cause harm, and pointed out that more development options may
become available as a result of the study.
Fred Crothamel, 2951 74th Ave. SE, Mercer Island, 98040, indicated that he
owns five duplexes in the subject area, and voiced his support for higher
density. Mr. Crothamel stated that he is in favor of rehabilitating the area and
increasing the amount of affordable housing.
May 16, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 179
Keith Thompson, 660 Index Pl. NE, Renton, 98056, voiced his support for the
moratorium, and pointed out that he owns three properties in the area. While
he supports higher densities, he expressed concern that he may be forced to do
something with his properties that is beyond his financial capability. Mr.
Thompson acknowledged that many properties in the area are not properly
maintained, and stated his appreciation for the City's efforts to address code
compliance issues. fie noted, however, that people choose to live in the
duplexes because the rent is affordable and the density is lower.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler assured that regardless of the zoning that is established
in the area, property owners will not be required to redevelop unless they
choose to do so. Councilman Corman acknowledged that the duplexes provide
families with an affordable, "single-family" type lifestyle, and pointed out that
his concerns involve those structures that are dilapidated.
Ron Christensen, 625 Index Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, stated that he is provided
an income from his property, that his property is well maintained, and that its
value has increased over the past five years. Mr. Christensen suggested that the
City consider sidewalk improvements and underground wiring.
Ed Rasmussen, 1300 Monroe Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, pointed out that the
density level of the area was changed as a result of a past rezone. I le stated that
while he is not against progress, he is concerned about how his neighborhood
will be affected. He noted that the covenants on the plat in which he lives are
still in force. Mr. Rasmussen also expressed his concern that property taxes
will increase, forcing people to move out of the area.
Owen Dennison, 316 Occidental Ave. S., Suite 320, Seattle, 98104,
representing the Renton School District, spoke in support of the revision to the
resolution to exclude the Hillcrest School project from the moratorium. fle
explained that the project is non-residential and will not affect the long-term
plans for the area.
Bimhl Kumar, 2102 NE 23rd St., Renton, 98056, expressed concern regarding
the time and money the City has already spent on Highlands area planning. He
also expressed his concern that people may be displaced. Mr. Kumar noted that
he demolished a duplex (lot #34) on Index Ave. NE, and he wants to continue
to develop the property. Ile voiced his frustration with the progress of his
project. In response to the Mayor's inquiry, Mr. Kumar stated that he supports
the moratorium.

acres located west of Union Ave. NE and south of SE 100th St. (Honey Creek
East).
16, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes - Page 180
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, explained that the King County Boundary
Review Board approved the annexation proposal effective 4/2/2005, and this is
the second of two public hearings on the matter. He reported that the site
contains 46 single-family dwellings, and 8.6 acres of the site are vacant. He
noted that the existing streets are not up to City standards, often lacking
sidewalks, and there is a deficiency of developed recreational opportunities in
the area. Reviewing the public services, Mr. Erickson stated that the area is
served by Fire District #25, Renton water and sewer, and the Renton School
District.
Continuing, Mr. Erickson said existing King County zoning is R-6 (six
dwelling units per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the
area as Residential Single Family, for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net
acre) zoning is proposed. He reviewed the fiscal impact analysis, which
assumes a new home value of $450,000 and 55 new single-family homes. The
City will realize a deficit of $8,177 at current development, and a surplus of
$9,873 at full development. Mr. Erickson noted the estimated one-time parks
acquisition and development cost of $78,034.
In conclusion, Mr. Erickson stated that the proposed annexation serves the best
interests and general welfare of the City and furthers City business goals.
Public comment was invited.
John Lunz, 101 10 130th Ave. SE, Renton, 98055. stated that he is opposed to

Annexation: Maplewood East, This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
SE 136th St & 156th Ave SE accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
public hearing to consider the proposed annexation and R-4 zoning of 26.14
acres bounded by 152nd Ave. SE and the City limits on the west, 156th Ave.
SE on the east, SE 136th St. on the south, and the Willowbrook Lane
Subdivision on the north (Maplewood East).
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that this is the second of two public
hearings, and the King County Boundary Review Board approved the proposed
annexation effective 4/11/2005. He reported that eight single-family dwellings
exist on the sloped site, which contains a 75-foot drop from the northeast corner
to the southeast corner. Mr. Erickson indicated that the site is served by Fire
District #25, Water District #90, Renton sewer, and the Renton School District.
Continuing with the zoning, Mr. Erickson explained that the site is zoned R-4
(four dwelling units per acre) under King County. The City's Comprehensive
Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density, for which R-4 (four
May 16, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 181
dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. He noted that this is one of
three annexation sites that were grandfathered in with the R-5 zone densities
and lot standards in November 2004.
Reviewing the fiscal impacts of the proposed annexation, assuming a new home
value of $400,000 and the potential of 78 single-family homes at full
development, Mr. Erickson reported that the City will realize a deficit of $746
at current development, and a surplus of $6,515 at full development. The
estimated one-time park development fee is $32,185. In conclusion, Mr.
Erickson stated that the annexation proposal furthers City business goals and is
consistent with City policies. He noted that the potential flooding in the area
will be addressed at the time of development.
Responding to Councilman Persson's inquiry, Mr. Erickson explained that the
subject annexation area was one of three areas vested with the density, lot size,
and minimum lot configuration provisions of the former R-5 zone. He
indicated that the R-5 zone was replaced by the R-4 zone in November 2004.
Public comment was invited.
Kristy Hill, 13527 156th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, stated her support for the
annexation, noting that the proposed zoning will maintain lower densities and
preserve the character of the neighborhood.

adopted as part of its business plan for 2005 and beyond. Items noted included:

King County: BNSF Rail Referring to an article in the 5/16/2005 Seattle Times regarding King County
Corridor Purchase for Trail entering into exclusive negotiations with Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway
to buy a 47-mile rail corridor stretching from Renton to Snohomish County for
use as a trail, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stressed that the Administration was
unaware of King County's action prior to reading the article. She reminded
Council that the City is on record opposing high capacity transit on the subject
right-of-way, and she expressed concern regarding the impact of King County's
action on the operation of the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train.

MERRITT II ANNEXATION PUBLIC MEETING
CONSIDERATION OF EXPANDED ANNEXATION BOUNDARIES,
PHASED IMPLEMENTATION, AND R-1 & R-4 ZONING
May 16, 2005
The City is in receipt of the Boundary Review Board's approval for an expanded Merritt II
Annexation site. Their proposal would increase the size of the original 20.59 acres annexation
site to 133 acres.
Council considered this annexation last May 3, 2004, at which time it accepted a 50/50 Petition
to annex and authorized the Administration to send the Notice of Intent Package to the Boundary
Review Board for King County. While the proposed annexation was before the BRB, King
County invoked the Board's jurisdiction, seeking to require the City to take in an enlarged
annexation area. Hearings were held before the BRB in November 2004 and the Board issued its
decision supporting such an expansion on January 18, 2005. Implementation of this annexation
was delayed awaiting revisions to the R-1 zone, which comprises much of the area's acreage.
Council is being asked tonight to decide whether it wishes to accept this expanded annexation
area, and if so, whether it wishes to implement it in one phase, or in two phases as recommended
by staff.
The subject site is within the City's East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area and is
designated Residential Low Density (RLD) on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
This site currently has both the County's R-1 and R-4 zoning on it. In 1998 the site was
prezoned to R-1 and R-5 by the City. Unlike the County zoning, which allows both attached and
detached units, Renton's zoning would allow only detached single-family dwelling units.
If the Council wishes to accept the expanded annexation area, it needs to decide whether to
annex the area in phases or all at one time. If it decides to accept the annexation it must also
adopt zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in order to implement it. Because the site
was prezoned, no additional public hearings on zoning are required.
Because of major capital improvements to 1361h Avenue SE/138thAvenue SE (Coal Creek
Parkway) that have been in the works for years, the Administration is recommending that this
annexation be implemented in two phases so as not to jeopardize existing funding arrangements.
The eastern two thirds of the annexation site would come in as Phase I, with Phase II (including
properties abutting Coal Creek Parkway) being implemented twelve months later.

Good Evening Mayor Sir Councilmembers "?ub c
After all these years looking in from the outskirts, I am pleased that we are
finally going to be part of the City of Renton. It feels good to become part
of a City that not only has a proud history, but is vibrant and expanding.
Western May Valley will do right for the City. Within a few years new
and remodeled homes within the greenbelt urban separator will not only be
highly desirable but will be positive to the City's cash flow. The real
estate taxes and the sales taxes from the new residents will contribute to
the City's finances.
While preparing for this annexation, city staff has identified several issues
that need to be considered. One of these issues is the matter of non-
conforming nonlegal uses. To attract new homes and citizens the City and
the neighborhood needs to address the issue of illegal businesses in May
Valley.
However, first I want to say that I am not talking about uses that are
"grandfathered". Uses that have been around since before the old King
County Newcastle Community Plan of December 1983 are acceptable.
These will gradually fade away as needs change and people move on.
What I am talking about are commercial activities that have sprung up in
recent years. For example; landscaping, hair salons, contractors and
other businesses with more than a couple of employees. None of these
uses ARE LEGAL under county code. However, King county has done
little to dissuade them. This needs to change. We need to work with city
staff to reclaim the residential character of our neighborhood.
Finally on a lighter note, I am looking forward to being annexed into your
fair city because then I will be able to watch the weekly episodes of
"Renton City Council at Its Finest" on cable television.

Vkk Mayor and Councilmembers:

I am in favor of this annexation. I look forward to being part of the City of
Renton.
over the last 20 years our community has been distressed by surface water impacts
experienced prior to annexation. Now we are seriously concerned with the
potential impacts of impending development.
There is no question problems already exist in May Creek. The May Creek Basin
Plan documents the various surface water problems: flooding, erosion,
sedimentation, and water quality issues. This plan states, " development most
likely will negatively impact the surface water issues that presently exist".
1 have legitimate surface water fears. Fears of what will happen to May Creek.
Fears of what will happen to our property. Fears of what will happen to our
neighbor's properties. And fears of what the next 100 year rain storm will do after
development.
I fear not just surface water flowing off the hillsides. The effect of the
construction of a single house in the flat valley floor altered the flow of surface
water onto neighboring properties. If you had seen water flowing across
neighbor's properties in the quantity 1 saw one recent November day you would
have worse fears than I. The quantify of surface water generated that day was not
even due to a 25, 50 or 100 year storm event!
My fears are echoed by Executive Ron Sims. The Executive stated, " the
proposed annexation raises ...significant concerns ...(including) environmental
and surface water management issues associated with May Valley ".
My fears are substantiated by Ron Straka's department. Mr. Straka is acutely
aware of the existing problems of May Creek and the potential for more
problems. He was involved in the May Creek Basin Plan. His department
commented (I quote) , "The whole annexation area drains to the May Valley
CONTINUE FROM PREUIOUS PAGE 001
portion of May Creek, where there are existing flooding, water quality and fish
habitat problems. May Creek and associated floodplain are located {in} the
proposed annexation area. New development will cause increased peak rates of
runoff and volumes thereby increasing downstream flooding. A large portion of
the proposed annexation contains steep slopes with high erosion potential. The
report continues, there have been King County drainage complaints related to
sedimentation or erosion within the annexation area. Straka's comments were
only for 20 acres. Now the annexation will be increased to 1,33 acres. There will
be a much larger impact than his previous comments reflect.
In my heart I feel Renton will do a better job with development in this part of the
May Creek basin. To its credit the City has tried hard to do the right thing in this
area. The City was involved in the May Creek Basin Action Plan. Council, staff ,
and planning commission have walked the area. They have heard over and over
the legitimate concerns of those who live here. Council and planning commission
have heard the horror stories of negative surface water impacts to properties.
I have experienced surface water problems first hand. Erosion where large
chunks of my property disappear into the creek. Runoff flowing down the street
like a small river due to channelization of surface water flow. Annexation and the
subsequent development of this area will exacerbate surface water problems.
Surface water issues are serious and they are complex. Renton must be very strict
in the implementation of its codes and regulations especially those which will
relieve the serious surface water issues. Not only the letter of the codes but the
intent of codes must be followed so that less harm actually occurs in this
annexation arta.
I ask that a approach be taken when reviewing development proposals
so that meaningful mitigation is implemented to reduce the significant adverse
impacts of surface water. 1 respectfully ask that Madam Mayor and each council
member ensure that this happens. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jean .Rollins

PUBLIC HEARING HANDOUT
Highlands Sub -Area Plan Moratorium
May 16, 2005
The City Council adopted two policies in the 2005 Business Plan that directly address priorities for the
Highlands. Goal #2 states, "Promote Neighborhood Revitalization. " Strategy #3 states, "Create
opportunities for new investment in the Highlands and South Renton neighborhoods. "
The City is beginning a new sub -area planning process for the Highlands that will result in land use
actions and densities needed as an incentive for redevelopment in line with the Business Plan. However,
in the short term, underutilized land in the area is coming under development pressure due to the rising
cost of land in the vicinity. The current zoning does not allow the higher densities needed to simulate a
larger redevelopment effort. While many properties are built out with older housing stock, some existing
lots are large enough to subdivide at lower densities that perpetuate a land use pattern inconsistent with
the adopted City goals and vision for the Center Village Land Use Designation.
The current R-10 zoning in Highlands Study Area allows single-family detached uses in areas that will be
evaluated for higher density as part of the Highlands Sub -Area Plan. The Residential Multi -Family (RM-
F) zoning allows stacked flats and lower density multi -family development. Recent project applications
are vesting at a lower density than the zoning currently allows. The City currently has no tools available
to discourage these low -density subdivisions and building permits
Piecemeal development of underutilized parcels will undermine implementation of the overall
redevelopment effort. New low -density residences and/or small-scale multi -family buildings with a long
remaining economic life will perpetuate existing patterns of development and conflict with the anticipated
sub -area plan.
To complete work on the plan, the City needs time to develop policies and development standards and
begin a public outreach program to gain property owner, business owner, and resident input into and
support of the plan. The Planning Commission will be working on the plan through November 2005.
Three public meetings are anticipated including a visioning session and two "open house" meetings, in
addition to Planning Commission workshops. Council Committee of the Whole briefings are scheduled
monthly during plan preparation. The plan will to be transmitted to the City Council in December 2005.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the moratorium be established for an initial six-month period, with a review in
October, to determine progress toward new zoning standards. At that point, with property owner buy -in
of the new land use and zoning concepts, it is anticipated that property owners will support the
opportunity for higher density and more efficient land use and will be willing to wait for the new zoning.
The study area also includes R-8 single-family neighborhoods and commercially zoned areas that
encourage mixed- used residential/commercial development at higher densities. The recommended
moratorium would not include these areas and would not effect commercial businesses or mixed -use
projects.

Highland Study Area Moratorium
City Council
May 16, 2005
Proposal: Establish a Moratorium
in R-10 and RM-F zones
New development defined as:
• Grading permits
• Land clearing
• Tree cutting permits
• Building permits
• Plats
• Lot line adjustments
• Site plan review entitlements
1
2005 Business Plan
• Two policies address priorities for the
Highlands
• Goal #2 "Promote Neighborhood
Revitalization"
• Strategy #3 "Create opportunities for new
investment in the Highlands and South Renton
neighborhoods"
Need for Moratorium
• The current zoning does not allow the higher
densities needed to simulate a larger
redevelopment effort
• Some existing lots are large enough to
subdivide at lower densities
• Lower density perpetuates a land use pattern
inconsistent with the adopted City goals and
vision for the Center Village Land Use
Designation
RM-F Zoning
• The RM-F zoning allows stacked flats and lower
density multi -family development
• Piecemeal development of underutilized parcels will
undermine implementation of the overall
redevelopment effort
• New low -density residences and/or small-scale
multi -family buildings with a long remaining
economic life
• Perpetuate existing patterns of development and
conflict with the anticipated sub -area plan
Highlands Sub -Area Planning
Process
• Result in land use actions and densities needed as
an incentive for redevelopment in line with the
business plan
• In the short term, underutilized land in the area is
coming under development pressure due to the
rising cost of land in the vicinity
R-10 Zoning
• Allows single-family detached uses in areas
that will be evaluated for higher density as part
of the Highlands Sub -Area Plan
• Recent project applications are vesting at a
lower density
• The City currently has no tools available to
discourage these low -density subdivisions and
building permits
Recent Development In the Study Area
• Since 1999
— R-10 Zone 13 projects
64 new single- family units
— RM-F Zone 1 project
• 4 new condominium
2
Recent Development, continued
?
Public Process
• The Planning Commission will be working on
the plan through November 2005
• Public meetings are anticipated
— Visioning session and two "open house" meetings
— Focus group sessions with property owners
— Planning Commission workshops
— Council Committee of the Whole briefings
Status of the Surrounding Single
Family and Commercial Areas
• The study area also includes
— R-8 single-family neighborhoods
— Commercially zoned areas that encourage mixed -
use residential/commercial development at higher
densities
— The recommended moratorium would not include
these areas and would not affect commercial
businesses or mixed -use projects
Sub -Area Plan
• The City needs time
— To develop policies and new development
standards
— To conduct a public outreach program
— Gain property owner, business owner, and resident
input and support for the plan
Recommendation
• Initial six-month moratorium
— Review in October, to determine progress toward
new zoning standards
— Work with property owners to achieve support of
the new land use and zoning concepts
— Goal: Support for higher density and more
efficient land use
A Moratorium in the Highlands
Study -Area is Needed
• The City needs time to develop new standards
that reflect the City's vision for the Highlands,
and to work with property owners to implement
its goals
• Relieve pressure from immediate development in
the area
• Improve the City's ability to market property as a
result of the new zoning and policy direction

HONEY CREEK EAST ANNEXATION PUBLIC HEARING
COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF ANNEXATION
R-8 ZONING
May 16, 2005
The City was recently notified by the Boundary Review Board for King County that the 27.5-
acre Honey Creek East annexation was approved as of April 2, 2005. The subject site is within
the City's designated Potential Annexation Area and is designated Residential Single Family
(RS) on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. It located at the northwest corner of the
City west of Union Avenue NE and south of SE 100th Street, if extended.
This site currently has King County's R-6 zoning and there are a number of single-family
detached dwellings already on it. Recommended zoning is R-8 (eight units per net acre). This is
approximately the same density as what would be allowed under the County's R-4 zoning since
densities up to 6 units per gross acre are relatively easy to achieve with bonuses and/or TDRs in
that zone. Tonight's hearing will be the second of two required public hearings for rezoning the
site.
Recommendation:
The Administration is asking Council:
• To support R-8 zoning, at eight units per net acre and consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan land use designation of Residential Single Family, on the subject site if it decides to
accept the subject annexation; and,
• To accept the Honey Creek East Annexation and effectuate it with adoption of the
annexation ordinance and concurrently rezone the subject site, excluding public streets,
from King County's R-6 zone to Renton's R-8 zone, consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan land use designation of Residential Single Family.

MAPLEWOOD EAST ANNEXATION AND
ZONING PUBLIC HEARING
COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF ANNEXATION
WITH R-4 ZONING
May 16, 2005
The City has been notified that the Boundary Review Board approved the Maplewood East
Annexation on April 11, 2005. Those signing the petition agreed to accept new zoning
consistent with Renton's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map as well as assume their fair share
of the City's existing outstanding indebtedness. Tonight public hearing is the second of two
required for rezoning the site from the County's R-4 zone to Renton's R-4 zone upon annexation.
As noted before, the site was one of three annexations that were vested with the density
provisions, lot size and minimum lot configuration provisions of the former R-5 zone that was
replaced with the R-4 zone, adopted by Council in November 2004.
The subject site is within the City's East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area and is
designated Residential Low Density (RLD) on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
King County has zoned it R-4 which allows up to 6 units per gross acre compared to a maximum
of 4 units per net acre under Renton's R-4 zoning. Unlike the County zoning, which allows both
attached and detached units, Renton's new zoning only allows detached single-family dwelling
units. Pursuant to Council direction staff have prepared both R-4 zoning and annexation
ordinances for this annexation.
Recommendation:
The Administration is asking Council:
• To support R-4 zoning, at four units per net acre and consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan land use designation of Residential Low Density, on the subject site if it decides to
accept the subject annexation;
• To accept the Maplewood East Annexation and effectuate it with adoption of the
annexation ordinance and concurrently zone the subject site, excluding public streets, R-4
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan land use designation of Residential Low Density.

King County trying to buy rail corridor for new trail
By Natalie Singer
Seattle Times Eastside bureau
King County has entered into exclusive negotiations with BNSF Railway to buy a 47-mile rail
corridor stretching from Renton to Snohomish County for use as a trail.
If the county succeeds in acquiring the right of way, the new trail would cut through the heart of the
Eastside's major cities and could tie into an existing urban -trail network to create a seamless,
countywide recreational path.
"This is the pinnacle, the granddaddy of trails," King County Executive Ron Sims, who is leading the
effort to acquire the route, said in an interview Friday. "This would become the spine of our system,
and we think the public should own it."
Discussions about purchasing the line, which now carries the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train,
began quietly about six months ago, said Sims, who planned to announce the talks today. He would
not say how much the corridor would cost, except to say it could be purchased without raising taxes.
If the route became a trail, all rail traffic, including the dinner train, would cease on that line.
The negotiations come on the heels of the county's long-awaited success last week with the East Lake
Sammamish Trail. After nearly a decade, and more than 20 lawsuits between the county and property
owners, that controversial, 11-mile trail was finally approved.
The new trail, besides being a potential boon for recreationists, would almost certainly attract tourists,
county planners say. The corridor would connect with the Sammamish River Trail, which in turn links
to the Burke -Gilman. It would also tie into the Centennial Trail, which now runs from Snohomish to
Arlington.When the trails are complete, an uninterrupted route could be possible from Renton to
Skagit County.
County planners say it's too early to say what the trail would look like or when it would open.
The route could have major implications for the region's transportation infrastructure.
If a deal were struck, King County would acquire the corridor through "railbanking," in which
railroads sell, lease or donate rights of way on routes they no longer operate to private organizations
or local governments for use as trails. The corridors are often sold at reduced rates, sometimes at
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-binIPrintStory.pl?document id=2002276254&zsectio... 5/17/2005
The Seattle Times: King County trying to buy rai l corridor for new trail Page 2 of 3
below market value, in exchange for a tax deduction for the railroad.
While the routes are then converted to trails, they can be returned to mass -transportation use in the
future.
Without railbanking, it would be nearly impossible for the public to buy a similar stretch of right of
way through the heart of the Eastside, because the county would have to negotiate costly purchases
one lot at a time, said Rod Brandon, King County's director of environmental sustainability.
Instead, the rail route would instantly provide the county with an unbroken stretch of open land just
minutes from often -congested Interstate 405.
The corridor averages 100 feet wide or more, so it one day could fit both a trail and public
transportation, Sims acknowledged. But the immediate focus, he said, is to create a trail.
"In the past, this route has been recommended for bus rapid transit, light rail, single -engine uses,"
Sims said. "But I'm buying it to have as a trail. If future leaders want to add a use ... it will be added to
the trail, it would not be instead of that."
Larry Phillips, chairman of the Metropolitan King County Council, said, "It's got great potential as a
trail and would certainly connect the Eastside in that respect. And it could be something more.
"Those decisions will happen in the next decade or two."
BNSF Railway first publicly expressed interest in selling the line in 2003. The company Friday
confirmed the negotiations with King County.
"They seem to be sincere," said Jerry Johnson, assistant vice president of the railroad.
The scenic corridor is lightly used now, but it was once a major freight route.
It runs mostly parallel to I-405, winding through Renton, up the eastern shore of Lake Washington,
through Bellevue and Kirkland, into Redmond via a small spur, along the sleepy Sammamish River
and past the wineries of Woodinville, then into rural Snohomish County and to the city of Snohomish.
If the line became a trail, the landmark 102-foot-high wooden Wilburton Trestle in Bellevue would
likely remain part of the route, with safety upgrades, Sims said.
Because serious negotiations with the railroad have just begun, the county would not publicly estimate
how much it might pay for the route. But Sims said that sources of money have already been
identified, and they don't include new taxes.
To secure the right to exclusive negotiations, preventing the railroad from talking with other parties
until August, the county will have to put down a $3.5 million deposit, similar to earnest money on a
home purchase. If the deal is made, the money goes to the purchase price. If not, the railroad can keep
some of the interest earned on the money during the talks, but the county gets the $3.5 million back.
"We wanted to show them that we are really serious," Sims said, especially since the railroad had
been approached by other potential buyers — including commercial developers — about the property.

The County Council still has to approve the deposit. The issue will go to the council's budget and
natural -resources committees within the next few weeks.
The deal has the potential for controversy. In other rail -to -trail cases, including the battle over the East
Lake Sammamish Trail, nearby homeowners have opposed railbanked trails, worried about crime and
property -rights violations and loss of privacy.
But King County Councilwoman Carolyn Edmonds, who chairs the natural -resources committee,
predicted that most people along the route will be excited about the idea.
"Railroad lines are not pretty, and they're noisy. We're going to turn this into an asset for
communities," she said.
While the route cuts through some residential neighborhoods, it's generally more separated from
homes than the East Lake Sammamish route, which in some cases divides million -dollar properties in
half, said Matt Cohen, a lawyer the county hired to help with the negotiations.
Sims promised to work with cities along the route on trail construction and design, and he predicted
cooperation from nearby mayors.
"I can't believe any public official would have heartburn over this," Sims said. "I don't think we'll
have the issues with this that we had with the East Lake Sammamish Trail."
The county has sought help from several groups, including the nonprofit Cascade Land Conservancy,
in exploring what would be a complex purchase.
The conservancy has experience negotiating with railroads and working with rail -side property
owners, said Gene Duvernoy, conservancy president. He said he didn't want to pre judge how
controversial a sale might be.
"Some of the concerns might be access across the trail, access to existing business," he said.
But, Duvernoy said, "this is an incredibly important resource that the public could benefit from for
generations."

SUBJECT: DISPOSITION OF RENTON TO SNOHOJVHSH, WASHINGTON
SUBDIVISION OF BURLINGTON NORTHERN SA.NTA FE RAIL LINE
Dear Mr. Rose:
Recently, Burlington Northern Santa Fe approached the State of Washington regarding the
disposition of your Renton -to -Snohomish subdivision- It is our understanding that you have
presented the he for sale to the State instead of considering abandonment. The City of Renton
understands that you must make optimal business decisions for your company, and we appreciate
The challenges you must face.
The process of selling the line to the State could take years. During this time you will have to
decide how to allocate resources and provide service to the customers who currently rely on
Burlington Northern Santa Fe for their transportation and business needs. We want to make you
aware of some local concerns and considerations that we hope you will factor into -your decision
on how you will move forward with this process_
The City of Renton has been participating in a three-year process with the State of Washington
and local governments on a program to improve transportation along the Interstate I-405
Corridor, which runs parallel to the subject rail he. The preferred alternative of the 1-405
Corridor program includes adding general purpose lanes to the interstate highway, and
introducing bus rapid transit service as an effective transit component. During the evaluation of
this corridor program the agencies involved became aware that the Burlington Northern Santa Fe
line might be abandoned in the future and, therefore, become available for other non -railroad
uses. There was talk of preserving this railroad corridor for transit uses other than bus rapid
transit, specifically for fixed rail high capacity transit (HCT).
The City of Renton became quite concerned about this proposed use of the railroad corridor.
Such a use could place trains, operating every eight minutes during the peak period at a maximum
speed of 79 miles per hour, right through the middle of Renton residential neighborhoods,
specifically Kennydale and South Renton. This would create safety, livability, and access
Problems that would affect not only the neighborhoods but also businesses in North Renton and
the downtown core, and such regional recreational amenities as Gene Coulon Memorial Beach
Park and the Lake Washington Trail System. Because this T1CT corridor would bisect the City
and create adverse impacts that we feel would outweigh the incremental benefits of introducing
high capacity transit to this rail line, the City opposed using the railroad right -of way for this
purpose by approving Resolution 3501. A copy of this resolution is enclosed for your
information.

Page 2
We would encourage you to maintain the railroad line for its current uses, including use by the
Spina of Washington Dinner Train, which has been one of the centerpieces of the revitalization of
downtown Renton. Over the years they have brought over a million visitors to our City, and have
helped local charities raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. 1n addition, they directly employ 75
of our residents.
On the other hand, should you decide to abandon or sell the railroad line, the City would then
support use of the portion of this line through our City as a bicycle or pedestrian comdor as part
of the nationwide Rails to Trails program, for example. Such a use would be consistent with the
residential character of this corridor in Renton.
This is a very important issue to the City of Renton and we thank you in advance for your
consideration regarding our concerns. We would appreciate hearing from you about your long-
term plans for this portion of your railroad infrastructure. Should you have any questions or need
additional information, please feel free to contact Gregg Zimmerman, Administrator of our
Planning/Building/Public Works Department, at 425-430-7311.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF RENTON, _ WASHINGTON,
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT TO SEND A
LETTER OPPOSING THE SECURING OF USE OF BURLINGTON
NORTHERN SANTA FE RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR PRESERVATION OF
FUTURE TRANSPORTATION OPPORTUNITIES.
WHEREAS, the 1-405 Corridor Program is studying possible future transportation
opportunities to relieve traffic conditions in the I-405 corridor; and
WHEREAS, the Renton Steering Committee has been participating in the I-405 Corridor
Program; and
WHEREAS, the I-405 Corridor Program is preparing to name a preferred alternative; and
WHEREAS, the concept of securing the use of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe right-
of-way for preservation of future transportation opportunities was a last-minute addition for
alternative #3; and
WHEREAS, such addition surprised Renton Steering Committee members; and
WHEREAS, it is believed that securing use of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe right-of-
way has not been adequately discussed; and
WHEREAS, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe corridor runs through the middle of
downtown Renton, through the Kennydale and south Renton residential neighborhoods, and
would farther affect regional recreational amenities such as Gene Coulon Park and the Lake
Washington trail system; and
RESOLUTION NO. _,3aQ4._
WHEREAS, the bisecting of the City by possible fixed rail would create adverse impacts
which far outweigh the incremental benefit of adding additional high -capacity transit to this rail
corridor; and
WHEREAS, the City of Renton's concurrence with the I-405_Corridor Program draft
EIS alternatives is premised upon seven conditions, one of which states, "in order to minimize the
impact on Renton neighborhoods, improvements to I-405 should be within existing right-of-way,"

As part of the I-405 Corridor Project, WSDOT established a Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS)
committee that established baseline aesthetic solutions for the I-405 Corridor. The City of Renton
participated in this committee and supports its recommendations, which identify a baseline of aesthetic
improvements for the I-405 Corridor.
Because both the City of Renton and WSDOT share the goal to produce an I-405 Corridor project
which benefits the entire community, the two agencies agree that, should funding become available,
WSDOT will work with Renton to develop additional context sensitive solutions. Approval of the
attached Letter of Understanding confirms this agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Letter of Understanding confirming that, should funding become available, WSDOT will
pursue additional Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) within the City of Renton.

SUBJECT: Letter of Understanding for additional Context Sensitive Solutions
(CSS) within the City of Renton
ISSUE:
A Letter of Understanding (LOU) between the City of Renton and the Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is necessary to describe that the City of Renton and
WSDOT are working together on the I-405 Corridor Project and they agree that, if funding
becomes available, additional Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) will be developed.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor to sign a Letter of Understanding between the City of Renton and the
Washington State Department of Transportation to pursue additional Context Sensitive
Solutions, if funding becomes available.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The main access route to Renton is I-405. With over 12 hours of congestion on I-405 in
Renton, the City must work with WSDOT to resolve the congestion issues while developing
solutions that impact the community as little as possible.
As part of this, the City has contributed funds to assist WSDOT in developing more detailed
information about the I-405 Corridor Project. For example, the City transferred almost $5
May 10, 2005
Page 2
million dollars in Federal Highways Administration Interstate maintenance funds to WSDOT
so that these funds could be used to further develop the I-405 design plans within the City of
Renton. In turn, this helped the City better understand the impacts and develop potential
solutions of the I-405 Corridor project. Similarly, the City is engaging in a contract to
transfer up to $250,000 to WSDOT to develop I-405 right-of-way plans around Port Quendall
and the North Renton area. These right-of-way plans will help the City specifically identify
the right-of-way boundaries of the NE 44`' Street interchange and how they affect potential
development access points into the Point Quendall redevelopment area.
Initiated and supported by WSDOT, this CSS work effort identifies cohesive aesthetic
solutions for the freeway project. The City's participation in the I-405 Context Sensitive
Solutions Aesthetic and Advisory Committees is another example of how the two agencies are
working together to develop the best solutions for the City of Renton.
These committees have worked together to identify a baseline of improvements for the I-405
Corridor, which will occur throughout the corridor. However, the spirit of cooperation
established in other aspects of the I-405 Corridor Project continues with the CSS, so that
additional solutions can be developed for the City of Renton. As outlined in the attached
letter of understanding, as funding becomes available WSDOT will pursue up to $250,000 of
additional CSS improvements beyond the baseline improvements. These additional CSS
improvements will help make the I-405 Project a more attractive and positive experience for
the City, and the letter of understanding establishes the agreement between the City and
WSDOT to pursue these additional CSS improvements.
CONCLUSION:
Because both the City of Renton and WSDOT share the goal to produce a project benefiting
the entire community and the City needs to preserve the opportunity for Renton to
supplement the CSS, the two agencies agree that, should funding become available, WSDOT
will work with Renton to develop additional context sensitive solutions at WSDOT's cost, up
to but not beyond the equivalent of $250,000.

RE: Letter of Understanding — I-405 Context Sensitive Solutions in the City of Renton
Dear Mr. Stone:
This letter of understanding is to confirm that should funding become available, the Washington
State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will pursue additional Context Sensitive Solutions
(CSS) within the City of Renton.. This letter also confirms that the City understands that such
actions are dependent upon funding.
The City supports this agreement because studies indicate that Renton experiences the worst
congestion in the I-405 Corridor. With over 12 hours of congestion in Renton, the I-405 Corridor
Projects are important to the City. While working to resolve these congestion issues is critical, the
Corridor Projects also have impacts that affect homes and businesses throughout Renton. Because
I-405 is the main access route to Renton, the City must work with WSDOT to resolve the
congestion issues while developing solutions that impact the community as little as possible.
Consequently, the City has participated in the I405 Context Sensitive Solutions Aesthetic and
Advisory Committees. Initiated and supported by WSDOT, this work effort identifies cohesive
aesthetic solutions for the freeway project. These committees have worked together to identify a
baseline of improvements for the I-405 Corridor. The. City views CSS as a critical element to
making the I-405 Project a positive and attractive aspect of the City.
WSDOT understands the need for context sensitive solutions and recognizes the City's concern for
its community as well as the City's support and contributions to the I-405 Corridor Project.
Because both the City of Renton and WSDOT share the goal to produce a project benefiting the
entire. community, the two agencies agree that, should funding become available, WSDOT will
Work with Renton to develop additional context sensitive solutions, up to but not beyond the
equivalent of $250,000. These improvements may take the form, for example, of additional
pedestrian investments, enhanced landscaping, or public art.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
On February 7, 2005, Council accepted the $300,000 Housing and Urban Development
Brownfields Economic Development (HUD BEDI) grant. As described in the February 7th
issue paper and agenda bill, these HUD funds will be spent on I-405 right-of-way plans
developed by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and on evaluating
entrance options to Port Quendall. This contract and scope of work is for those I-405 right-of-
way plans (a separate scope and contract will follow for evaluating the Port Quendall entrance
options). Receipt of funds is dependent upon contract billings; no funds beyond actual billings
will be spent.
Approval of the contract and scope of work from WSDOT for I-405 right-of-way work allows
the City to use the funds within the constraints outlined by HUD and as described in the
previously approved City agenda bill and issue paper accepting the HUD funds. As shown in
the contract, up to $250,000 of HUD BEDI funds will be spent on the I-405 right-of-way plans.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve spending up to $250,000 of HUD BEDI funds on the WSDOT right-of-way, as outlined in
the attached scope of work.

SUBJECT: Expenditure of $250,000 of HUD Brownfield Economic
Development Initiative Grant on WSDOT ROW Contract
ISSUE:
To spend up to $250,000 of the Housing and Urban Development Brownfields Economic
Development (HUD BEDI) grant on the I-405 right-of-way plans developed by the
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve spending up to $250,000 of HUD BEDI funds on the WSDOT right-of-way, as
outlined in the attached scope of work.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
On February 7, 2005, Council accepted the $300,000 HUD BEDI grant. These funds
must be used in association with Port Quendall.
While redevelopment of Port Quendall has slowed, main access to Port Quendall is from
Interstate I-405, so appropriate I-405 capacity and access is a key issue in redeveloping
the property. Many factors cause the I-405 alignment to shift for long distances so the
adjustment can be safely integrated back into the mainline. As a result of this, HUD has
allowed the City to obligate the HUD BEDI grant to transportation improvements within
May 10, 2005
Page 2
the North Renton area as long as they are directly linked and beneficial to Port Quendall
redevelopment.
As described in the February 7th issue paper and agenda bill, these HUD funds will be
spent on I-405 right-of-way plans developed by the Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) and on a separate consultant contract evaluating entrance
options to Port Quendall. The attached contract and scope of work is for those I-405
right-of-way plans. (Evaluating the Port Quendall entrance options will be addressed in a
separate and future contract.)
Expenditure of up to $250,000 of HUD BEDI funds on the I-405 right-of-way plans
allows the City to use the funds within the constraints outlined by HUD and as described
in the previously approved City agenda bill and issue paper accepting the HUD funds.
Additionally, completed right-of-way plans will strengthen the North Renton I-405 project
position for additional funding and is a critical step for the I-405 Project, Port Quendall,
and other redevelopment efforts along I-405.
CONCLUSION:
Using the HUD BEDI grant to help develop I-405 right-of-way plans is consistent with
previous approvals from both the City of Renton and HUD. Staff recommends approval of
the attached scope of work and contract with WSDOT.

SCOPE OF WORK
INTRODUCTION
The overall objective of this work is to complete right-of-way plans and Records of Survey for
I-405 and Interchanges, for Segment No. 3 (North Renton) from No. 4"' St to SE 64th.
Right-of-way plans for this segment will be based upon section subdivision surveys completed
under Phase II. Field work will continue through early summer locating the crossing and
adjacent street as well as plat monuments necessary for the calculation of right-of-way and
parcel boundaries. The Consultant expects to complete the I-405 centerline resolution, including
adjacent and crossing street alignments by August 2005. Deed analysis will begin in July and
calculation of parcel boundaries is expected to be completed by the end of August.
The Consultant anticipates the right-of-way plans will require approximately 30 sheets;
including vicinity maps and the Records of Survey map will contain an approximate total of 6
sheets.
To facilitate the approval of the plans, we anticipate continuing the semi -weekly "over the
shoulder" review by the STATE right-of-way reviewer in Perteet's Everett office. This has
demonstrably reduced the number of formal reviews on previous right-of-way projects and is
expected to greatly increase the speed of approval on this project.
Between the 50% review and the 95% formal review of each right-of-way plan set the
Consultant will add the individual property boundaries and complete the right-of-way lines.
Final corrections to all right-of-way plans will be made incrementally, following the month of
submittal. The final electronic version will be sent to OSC Right-of-way plans within one
month of the 95% review, for a final review and printing on mylar. The final mylars, along
with redded paper copies of review changes, will be submitted incrementally to Perteet for final
review and signatures. Upon approval of the "baseline" to replace the centerline alignment the
Consultant will complete the Record of Survey map and file it with the King County Recorder's
Office.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
X
This project will make necessary mobility improvements and replace the Burlington Northern Santa F6
(BNSF) Railroad Bridge with a bridge that will allow the City to proceed with their vision to improve the
Rainier Corridor to a safer, more aesthetically pleasing and pedestrian -friendly City corridor.
There is currently $3,670,000 programmed in the 2005-2010 TIP for this project (TIP #16). This
programming level reflected the same information that was in our grant submittal to the Transportation
Improvement Board (TIB) that was awarded in the amount of $2,202,000 in early 2004. From design
through final construction, the total cost to complete this project is expected to exceed the current
budgeted amount of $3,670,000. TIB was informed of the project cost increase earlier this year. They
suggested that we move forward with a 30% design so we can get a better understanding of actual project
costs. DMJM Harris is in the process of preparing a preliminary total project cost estimate that we will
forward as soon as it is completed.
As shown in the attached Scope of Work, the major services will include the survey of the corridor,
geotechnical investigation, drainage and pump station analysis, and a 30% design report with plans.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreement with DMJM Harris for design engineering
services in the amount of $455,326, for the Rainier Avenue South - S/SW 7th Street to S 4th Place Project.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
There is currently $3,670,000 programmed in the 2005-2010 TIP for this project (TIP #16).

RE: Rainier Avenue South - S/SW 7`h Street to S 4"' Place
Between S 7th Street and S 4th Place, traffic data has shown a high level of traffic congestion and
accidents. To improve these bottlenecks and increase safety throughout the corridor, the
Transportation Division will make significant roadway improvements on this section of Rainier
Avenue. These improvements will include the following: adding a third northbound through -
lane; adding a left turn lane on to S 4th Place; removing the existing BNSF Railroad Bridge
support pier; replacing the existing BNSF Bridge with an updated structure; lowering Rainier
Avenue in the vicinity of the BNSF Bridge to provide the standard roadway clearance; and,
widening sidewalks to 10 feet with a 5 foot pedestrian buffer and streetscape.

successors in interest agrees as follows:
A. COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS: The
CONSULTANT shall comply with the Regula-
tions relative to nondiscrimination in the same

Page 3 of 8

grounds of race, creed, color, sex, age, marital
status, national origin or handicap except for a
bona fide occupational qualification in the selec-
tion and retention of subconsultants, including
procurements of materials and leases of equip-
ment. The CONSULTANT shall not participate
either directly or indirectly in the discrimination

INCLUDING PROCUREMENTS OF MATERI-
ALS AND EQUIPMENT: In all solicitations
either by competitive bidding or negotiation made
by the CONSULTANT for work to be performed

obligations under this AGREEMENT and the
Regulations relative to nondiscrimination on the
grounds of race, creed, color, sex, age, marital
status, national origin and handicap.
D. INFORMATION AND REPORTS: The
CONSULTANT shall provide all information
and reports required by the Regulations, or
directives issued pursuant thereto, and shall
permit access to its books, records, accounts,
other sources of information, and its facilities as
may be determined by the AGENCY to be
pertinent to ascertain compliance with such
Regulations or directives. Where any information
required of the CONSULTANT is in the exclu-
sive possession of another who fails or refuses to
furnish this information the CONSULTANT shall
so certify to the AGENCY, or the United States
Department of Transportation as appropriate, and
shall set forth what efforts it has made to obtain
the information.
E. SANCTIONS FOR NONCOMPLIANCE: In the
event of the CONSULTANTs noncompliance
with the nondiscrimination provisions of this
AGREEMENT, the AGENCY shall impose
such sanctions as it or the Federal Highway
Administration may determine to be appropriate,

SULTANT shall take such action with respect to
any subconsultant or procurement as the
AGENCY or the Federal Highway Administra-
tion may direct as a means of enforcing such
provisions including sanctions for noncompli-
ance; provided, however, that, in the event a
CONSULTANT becomes involved in, or is
threatened with, litigation with a subconsultant or
supplier as a result of such direction, the CON-
ULTANT may request the AGENCY to enter
into such litigation to protect the interests of the
AGENCY, and in addition, the CONSULTANT
may request the United States to enter into such
litigation to protect the interests of the United
States.

IX
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
The right is reserved by the AGENCY to terminate
this AGREEMENT at any time upon ten days written
notice to the CONSULTANT.
In the event this AGREEMENT is terminated by the
AGENCY other than for default on the part of the
CONSULTANT, a final payment shall be made to the
CONSULTANT as shown in Exhibit F for the type of
AGREEMENT used.
No payment shall be made for any work completed
after ten days following receipt by the CONSULT-
ANT of the Notice to terminate. If the accumulated
payment made to the CONSULTANT prior to Notice
of Termination exceeds the total amount that would
be due computed as set forth herein above, then no
final payment shall be due and the CONSULTANT
shall immediately reimburse the AGENCY for any
excess paid.
If the services of the CONSULTANT are terminated
by the AGENCY for default on the part of the CON-
SULTANT, the above formula for payment shall not
apply. In such an event, the amount to be paid shall be
determined by the AGENCY with consideration
given to the actual costs incurred by the CONSULT-
ANT in performing the work to the date of
termination, the amount of work originally required
which was satisfactorily completed to date of termina-
tion, whether that work is in a form or a type which is
usable to the AGENCY at the time of termination;
the cost to the AGENCY of employing another firm
to complete the work required and the time which
maybe required to do so, and other factors which
affect the value to the AGENCY of the work per-
formed at the time of termination. Under no
circumstances shall payment made under this subsec-
tion exceed the amount which would have been made
using the formula set forth in the previous paragraph.
If it is determined for any reason that the CONSULT-
ANT was not in default or that the CONSULTANT's
failure to perform is without it or it's employee's fault
or negligence, the termination shall be deemed to be a
termination for the convenience of the AGENCY in
accordance with the provision of this AGREEMENT.
In the event of the death of any member, partner or
officer of the CONSULTANT or any of its supervi-
sory personnel assigned to the project, or, dissolution
of the partnership, termination of the corporation, or
disaffiliation of the principally involved employee,
the surviving members of the CONSULTANT hereby
agree to complete the work under the terms of this
AGREEMENT, if requested to do so by the
AGENCY. The subsection shall not be a bar to
renegotiation of the AGREEMENT between the
surviving members of the CONSULTANT and the
AGENCY, if the AGENCY so chooses.
In the event of the death of any of the parties listed in
the previous paragraph, should the surviving members
of the CONSULTANT, with the AGENCY's concur-
rence, desire to terminate this AGREEMENT,
payment shall be made as set forth in the second
paragraph of this section.
Payment for any part of the work by the AGENCY
shall not constitute a waiver by the AGENCY of any
remedies of any type it may have against the CON-
SULTANT for any breach of this AGREEMENT by
the CONSULTANT, or for failure of the CONSULT-
ANT to perform work required of it by the
AGENCY. Forbearance of any rights under the
AGREEMENT will not constitute waiver of entitle-
ment to exercise those rights with respect to any
future act or omission by the CONSULTANT.
X
CHANGES OF WORK
The CONSULTANT shall make such changes and
revisions in the complete work of this AGREEMENT
as necessary to correct errors appearing therein, when
required to do so by the AGENCY, without additional
compensation thereof. Should the AGENCY find it
desirable for its own purposes to have previously
satisfactorily completed work or parts thereof
changed or revised, the CONSULTANT shall make
such revisions as directed by the AGENCY. This
work shall be considered as Extra Work and will be
paid for as herein provided under Section XIV.
Page 5 of 8
XI
DISPUTES
Any dispute concerning questions of fact in connec-
tion with the work not disposed of by AGREEMENT
between the CONSULTANT and the AGENCY shall
be referred for determination to the Director of Public
Works or AGENCY Engineer, whose decision in the
matter shall be final and binding on the parties of this
AGREEMENT, provided however, that if an action is
brought challenging the Director of Public Works or
AGENCY Engineer's decision, that decision shall be
subject to de novo judicial review.
XII
VENUE, APPLICABLE LAW AND
PERSONAL JURISDICTION
In the event that either party deems it necessary to
institute legal action or proceedings to enforce any
right or obligation under this AGREEMENT, the
parties hereto agree that any such action shall be
initiated in the Superior court of the State of Washing-
ton, situated in the county the AGENCY is located in.
The parties hereto agree that all questions shall be
resolved by application of Washington law and that
the parties to such action shall have the right of appeal
from such decisions of the Superior court in accor-
dance with the laws of the State of Washington. The
CONSULTANT hereby consents to the personal
jurisdiction of the Superior court of the State of
Washington, situated in the county in which the
AGENCY is located in.

The CONSULTANT specifically assumes potential
liability for actions brought by the CONSULTANT's
own employees against the AGENCY and, solely for
the purpose of this indemnification and defense, the
CONSULTANT specifically waives any immunity
under the state industrial insurance law, Title 51
RCW. The CONSULTANT recognizes that this
waiver was specifically entered into pursuant to the
provisions of RCW 4.24.115 and was the subject of
mutual negotiation.
Unless otherwise specified in the AGREEMENT, the
AGENCY shall be responsible for administration of
construction contracts, if any, on the project. Subject
to the processing of an acceptable, supplemental
agreement, the CONSULTANT shall provide on -call

XIV

AGREEMENT in the services to be performed.
B. If any such change causes an increase or decrease
in the estimated cost of, or the time required for,
performance of any part of the work under this
AGREEMENT, whether or not changed by the

BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The Planning/Building/Public Works Department requests authorization to fill the vacant Surface

position were received. Out of the six applicants, only four were qualified and interviewed.
Three of the candidates that were interview ranked high enough to be placed on the eligibility list
for the position. The preferred candidate exhibited superior experience, qualifications and the
oral board interview ranked the candidate significantly higher than the other candidates that were
interviewed.

River Section 205 Project Monitoring and Spawning Channel Replacement Project, and the
Surface Water Utility System Plan Update.
The vacant Surface Water Utility Civil Engineer III position is currently budgeted at Step D.
Due to the position being vacant for more then three months, by the time a new employee would
start work, there is sufficient budget and salary savings to fund the position at Step E of the
salary range, if needed.

DECLARING A MORATORIUM ON NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE
R-10 AND RM-F ZONES WITHIN THE HIGHLANDS SUB -AREA PLAN
STUDY AREA, AND ESTABLISHING A TERMINATION DATE FOR
THE MORATORIUM.
WHEREAS, the City of Renton has expended substantial time and energy on its
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and associated policies; and
WHEREAS, the City of Renton has identified a study area for refinement of the
Comprehensive Plan with a Sub -Area Plan in the Renton Highlands to further its economic
development objectives; and
WHEREAS, the City of Renton has expended substantial funds developing a preliminary
vision and evaluating market factors for redevelopment in the Highlands study area; and
WHEREAS, the R-10 and RM-F zones are currently mapped on a number of properties
within the Highlands Sub -Area Plan study area; and
WHEREAS, the density allowed currently in the R-10 and RM-F zones allow a minimum
of 4 units per net acre and a minimum of 7 units per net acre; and
WHEREAS, the uses in the R-10 and RM-F zones allow single-family detached housing
and lower density duplexes that are not consistent with broad redevelopment objectives for the
Highlands study area; and
WHEREAS, construction of lower density development in the form of single-family or
duplex units removes developable land from the stock of land for development or redevelopment,

densities that supports redevelopment of the Center Village; and

and present proposed changes to the Sub -Area Plan and zoning, and present such changes to the

to review and adopt changes to the Comprehensive Plan policies concerning the appropriate
density and use of land within the Highlands Sub -Area Plan study area.
SECTION M. This moratorium shall be in place for a period not to exceed six
months, unless otherwise modified by the City Council, which period may be extended or renewed
