I currently have removed such verbiage such as"boarding house"from the listing or any advertising. I apologize for my error. Please comet me at the above number if you have any questions.

HEARING EXAMINER'S REPORT F., :fw;t? .a ��.•� -- }� E}rys,. $iT ^;t•r r, December 21, 2000 OFFICE OF THE HEARING EXAMINER CITY OF RENTON REPORT AND DECISION APPELLANT: Terry L.Prekaski 611 Cedar Ave. S File No.: LUA00-126,AAD LOCATION: 611 Cedar Ave. S SUMMARY OF APPEAL: Appeal of Administrative Decision to designate property located at 611 Cedar Ave. S as a boarding/rooming house PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Appellant's written request for a hearing and examining the available information on file,the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: MINUTES The following minutes are a summary of the December 5,2000 hearing. The official record is recorded on tape. The hearing opened on Tuesday,December 5,2000 at 9:40 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Renton City Hall. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit No. 1: Yellow file containing the appeal, Exhibit No.2: Rental Agreement dated September the Examiner's letter setting the hearing date and other 1,2000 documentation pertinent to the appeal. Exhibit No.3: Rental Agreement dated September Exhibit No. 4: Letter from Windmere NW,Inc. 10,2000 Exhibit No.5: Ad from Seattle Post-Intelligencer Exhibit No. 6: Multiple Listing Service sale ad Exhibit No.7: Schematic drawing of house layout Exhibit No. 8: Notice of Infraction Parties present: Appellant: Terry Prekaski 5510 32nd Ave NE Bellevue, WA 98005 Representing appellant: James J.Dore,Jr. Dore&Dore 1122 W. James Kent,WA 98032 611 Cedar Ave. S Appeal Hearing File No.: LUA00-126,AAD December 21,2000 Page 2 Representing City of Renton: Zanetta Fontes, City Attorney Jennifer Henning,Development Services Bob Arthur,Development Services 1055 S Grady Way Renton, WA 98055 The Examiner explained that the purpose of the meeting was to hold a public hearing on the applications pursuant to Ordinance 3071. This hearing constitutes the hearing of the City Council and is the only public hearing which will be held on the matter unless the matter is continued. Reconsideration or an appeal to the City Council will only consider the evidence submitted in today's hearing, or if the hearing is continued evidence submitted at that time. He stated that the appellant had the burden of demonstrating that the City's action was erroneous, and would have to show clear and convincing evidence that the City's determination was incorrect. At that point the City could respond, if they chose to do so. As a preliminary matter,Mr.Dore asked if the Examiner had any relationship with Mr.Don Persson. The Examiner replied that he knew Mr.Persson as a former member of the Police Department and presently as a member of the City Council,but had no other interest. In his opening statement,Mr. Dore said that it is the position of Terry Prekaski that the property at 611 Cedar Avenue S is not a boarding house. There will be sufficient evidence to show that it is actually a rental unit, a legal non-conforming duplex. Ms.Fontes, in her opening statement, said that it is the City's position that the property is a boarding house. It was the landowner who was getting people together,rather than people who were forming their own family unit,to look for a place to live. The evidence will show that the rooms all have locking doors and they share a common cooking and eating area,unlike a normal family unit that would normally live in a duplex. Ms.Henning stated that she did not work in an official capacity with Mr. Persson in regard to this file. Mr. Persson called her from his private residence in the capacity of a citizen asking questions about whether 611 Cedar Ave S was considered to be a boarding house per definition in the City Code. Ms. Henning was supervisor of the Code Compliance Section at the time the first complaint was received.. There were between three and five complaints received by Code Compliance. Regarding what evidence she has that the property is a boarding house,Ms. Henning replied that she has a copy of an advertisement from the Seattle PI dated August 21, 2000 advertising the property under the category"Wanted to Share." She has anecdotal information from City Code Compliance inspectors who viewed both the exterior and interior of the structure in the form of a Notice of Infraction stating that modifications were made to the structure without building permits. She also has a listing for the sale of the property from a real estate multiple listing service that states the property is "currently used as a boarding house." Ms.Henning also cited phone conversations with Ms. Prekaski and phone calls from neighbors who live in the area that indicated to her that the property was being used as a boarding house. Ms. Henning also cited City Code definitions that categorize dwellings with unrelated individuals residing together as being a boarding or lodging house. Ms.Henning stated that Bob Arthur and Craig Burnell visited the property for the purpose of inspecting it. While in the home they noticed the home was functioning in the way a boarding house does—a number of unrelated individuals living together with 611 Cedar Ave. S Appeal Hearing File No.: LUA00-126,AAD December 21, 2000 Page 3 common cooking facilities. Ms. Henning stated that it was her determination as Zoning Administrator that because the household was assembled by an owner placing an ad in the paper, it was not a number of unrelated individuals living together as a family. Ms. Henning discussed with Ms.Prekaski how Ms. Prekaski could provide evidence that the property was not a boarding house. Ms.Henning also told Ms.Prekaski that if she was aggrieved by the decision, she would have to appeal it in order to buy more time. Mr.Arthur stated that he visited the property seven or eight times. He visited the property the first time because of complaints from Ron Munson and Don Persson that there was building being done without permits and the property was being used as a boarding house. Mr.Arthur stated it was obvious to him that building was taking place—that a duplex was being converted or changed. Mr.Arthur observed that the bedrooms had locking doors, and that a family room was being made into two separate rooms. Mr.Arthur stated that he spoke with Ms. Prekaski three or four times. They discussed the investigation and the determination that the property was a boarding house. Ms. Prekaski stated that was a mistake, and she would have the realtor call Mr. Arthur. Mr.Arthur also spoke to Mr. Johnson at Windemere NW,who confirmed the statements in his letter of September 12. Mr. Arthur stated that he obtained the Multiple Listing Service document on August 16. Mr. Arthur stated that when he visited the property,he observed two people in the upper unit, in addition to a person who identified himself as someone responding to the ad.Mr.Arthur did not know if everyone was at home when he visited the residence. Steve Vandarwarka, 5510 132nd Ave NE,Bellevue, WA 98005 stated that he currently rents from Terry Prekaski. He has a rental agreement with Terry Prekaski similar to Exhibit No. 2. Aaron Wagner, 5510 132nd Ave NE,Bellevue, WA 98005 stated that he is Terry Perkasie's boyfriend and that he works with Ms. Prekaski to maintain the properties and to rent rooms. Mr. Wagner stated that he has been working at the property at 611 Cedar to bring a room up to electrical code, as well as doing painting and replacing a tub surround. He rebuilt a wall in the second unit that added an additional room on the bottom floor of the house. He also did some electrical work in that unit. In addition,he added a wall in the first unit upstairs. Mr. Wagner drew a simple sketch of the house to show how the units are situated. The first unit consists of the upper two floors of the house. The second unit is located on the lowest level in a"daylight basement." The two units are not connected in any way. When the house was first purchased this summer and still occupied by the old tenants,there were six members of a family living in the first unit. Terry Prekaski, 5510 132nd Ave NE,Bellevue, WA 98005 stated that she is a real estate investor. She fixes up homes and sells them, and rents homes that she owns. When Ms.Prekaski purchased the property at 611 Cedar Ave,two families were living in the home. The families subsequently moved out. Ms. Prekaski stated it was her intent to do "house sharing." She was told by the City that four unrelated people living in a single house constituted a family. She obtained documentation from the seller and the realtor that the house was a legal non- conforming duplex. Ms.Prekaski stated that she purchased the property for a friend who planned to live in the house with the other unrelated people. The friend placed the ad in the Seattle PI. Regarding the MLS listing, the realtor told her he called it a boarding house because the neighbors referred to it that way. The realtor later wrote a letter stating that he was in error. Since Ms. Prekaski purchased the property,four people have resided in unit number one, and three people in unit number two. The phone number in the Seattle PI ad is the number of Ms.Prekaski's friend,Linda, for whom the property was purchased. Linda does not want her last name used because she now has another house she shares, and is afraid that she will not be able to share her house because of this case. Ms.Prekaski reviewed the rental agreements for units one and two and stated that these agreements are rental agreements for house sharing. Ms. Prekaski stated that she never indicated to Ms. 611 Cedar Ave. S Appeal Hearing File No.: LUA00-126,AAD December 21, 2000 Page 4 Henning that she was running a boarding house or a group home. She did ask for information on a group home because she thought about the possibility of donating the house for drug and alcohol abuse or battered women if her friend was not going to be allowed to live there in a house sharing situation. Ms.Prekaski stated that all of her renters are professional people and non-smokers. They are not allowed to have pets,visitors,or overnight guests. Regarding how the rents are paid,Ms. Prekaski stated that the renters give their checks to Linda who deposits them in an account from which the mortgage on the house is paid. Ms.Prekaski stated that the tenants interview people to fill vacancies. They often ask her opinion because of her long experience in this area. Vacancies are filled by newspaper ads under"Wanted to Share." The Examiner asked for clarification on how the City distinguishes a rooming house or boarding house from a shared housing situation. Ms. Henning replied that the City relies first on the Zoning Use Tables. They look at the zone that is assigned to a particular area of the City. A particular address will be looked up on the zoning map. 611 Cedar Ave S is in the R-8 Residential District. From there,the City goes to its Residential Uses portion of the Code. There are a number of different types of residential uses—detached single family homes,town homes, flats, combinations thereof,family homes, group homes,bed and breakfasts, hotels,motels, retirement residences,boarding and lodging houses and the like. The City then relies on the Definitions section of the Code to help determine which category the property fits into. In the case of an inquiry about how many unrelated individuals may reside together,the City will commonly say that up to four unrelated individuals living together as a single household constitutes a family. If they inquire about boarding houses or lodging houses,we tell them that is a dwelling or part of a dwelling that's not either a motel or hotel where lodging with or without meals is provided for compensation, and the boarding rooms do not contain kitchen facilities. The distinction here is that boarding houses are only allowed in certain zones in certain areas,whereas families are able to reside in many situations in many zones,particularly the residential zones. This is done on a case-by-case basis. If a complaint is received,the City investigates the situation and makes a determination. In this case,nothing was provided to the City that showed the house operated as household or family, a commune, or some other common living situation. It appeared from the evidence we had that the household was assembled via an advertisement and that it was not a group that met our definition of family. Ron Munson, 623 Cedar Ave S,Renton,WA 98055 expressed his concern about the tenant mix in the residence. Many of the vehicles belonging to the tenants have out-of-state licenses. Mr.Munson stated that as a landlord within the City of Renton he does a credit and court check on potential renters in order to determine if they have a criminal record. Because many of these people come from out of state and are looking for short- term living arrangements and a court check is not done,the chances of having a renter with a criminal record are greatly increased. Mr. Munson also expressed concern about increased traffic in the neighborhood with multiple renters living in one residence. Mr.Dore, in his closing statement said that this case is really about the City of Renton and how it is going to deal with its purchasers of property. People have to be able to rely on information that is given to them by the City. Ms.Prekaski relied on the information the City gave her when she bought this property. Ms.Prekaski has a rental agreement, an application process, and rules that the tenants as a part of this agreement enter into and share. She is making a determination with this application to bring these people together if they agree, and that is what this rental agreement says. It says the rent is $1,800,and a portion of rent of each of these individuals as an agreement will be part of that. These are not individuals with a separate rental agreement, they are together as unit and have signed as such. 611 Cedar Ave. S Appeal Hearing File No.: LUA00-126,AAD December 21,2000 Page 5 In closing, Ms. Fontes stated that this case started because of complaints. She reviewed what the inspector found at the residence. There ad for the sale of the house indicates it can be used as a boarding house. The ad placed by Linda indicates she wants to share. If Linda had moved in and solicited housemates,we wouldn't be here today. We're here because it appeared that she was the one soliciting people to come and rent rooms. The City's Ordinance includes the phrase, "living together as a single household." That has a certain logical understanding in our community. These tenants have rules and regulations imposed on them,as would be done in a boarding house. The Rental Agreement lacks a specific address,which makes it look like a room only is for rent,not a specific address. The Rental Agreement contains the phrase"room rental." The individual rental fees on the Rental Agreement for Unit#2 do not add up to the total amount for the rental of the unit. If these renters were actually people living as a single household,the three rental fees would add up to the total amount of rent for the unit. Mr. Wagner testified that he"works with Terry to maintain the properties and rent rooms." This property is not set up as a single household as the Code specifically requires. Mr.Dore stated that the tenants are living in the residence and share the living space. The tenants have agreed to live as a family unit with rules they have agreed to abide by. Ms.Prekaski relied on the information she received from the City of Renton. The City needs to clarify their definition of a boarding or lodging house. Ms.Prekaski is in compliance with Ordinance 411-060. The contract is a shared living contract with an agreement by the people involved to act in a certain way at that residence. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this appeal. There was no one else wishing to speak. The hearing closed at 12:15 p.m. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS &DECISION Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The appellant, Terry Prekaski,represented by James J.Dore,Jr.,hereinafter appellant, filed an appeal of a decision of the Administrator finding that a single family home was being improperly used as a boarding or lodging house. 2. The appellant owns property located at 611 Cedar Avenue South in the City of Renton. The subject site is located in an area of the City known as Renton Hill, one of the oldest areas of the City. The area consists of mainly detached single family homes. 3. The area in which the subject site is located is zoned R-8 (Single Family Residential). 4. The building is a legal,non-conforming duplex residential structure. That means the building contains two separate dwelling units in the one building. 5. It appears that the property is owned and managed as a rental property by the appellant although it appears that a third party may have acted as an intermediary to collect the rental income. Nothing in the code appears to prohibit the renting of single family homes or duplex units. Nothing in the code appears to require an owner of property to reside at their property. 611 Cedar Ave. S - Appeal Hearing File No.: LUA00-126,AAD December 21, 2000 Page 6 6. The appellant provided documentation showing the units were rented in a similar fashion to other properties she similarly owns and rents in other locations. These documents show that rent for each unit is fixed at a certain amount($1,600 and$1,800,respectively,per month)and that each tenant is apportioned a share of rent, but that no one is responsible for the entire rent for the unit on a monthly basis. In the instant case, it is clear that some rooms in the unit were better or larger or some way different from others since the rent for rooms or spaces in the unit differed and were not uniform. 7. In order to simplify the calculations without, it would appear, altering the results,the amounts for the unit rent and individual rents within the unit will be crafted to easily calculated values for discussion purposes. In other words, if the entire rent for the unit was$1,000.00 per month and there was four(4) rooms for rent and each room was equal,each room would rent for$250.00. The way the appellant operates the rental, each tenant was charged only for their individual rooms. If there were at any one time, only three(3)renters,than the appellant would only collect three-quarters (3/4)of the total unit charge or$750.00 and forgo the other$250.00 since no one was renting that fourth room. In other words,no individual tenant or even all of the tenants rented the entire unit. Each only rented a portion of the unit. Each individually was responsible for only their individual rent. 8. One would expect a group or family"living as a household"unit to rent the entire unit,paying the entire unit charge. If a real family were in residence,then dad or mom would pay the whole rent. If it were a group living together they would pay the same whole rent. If it were a group and the individual spaces were not equal they might pay differing amounts to create the whole rent. In other words if the spaces within,the unit were inherently different and unequal they might divide the rent to reflect such differences: say, one bedroom had its own attached bath or one bedroom was twice as large or had bigger closets they might determine amongst themselves how to appropriate the entire rent and pay their respective shares. 9. In the instant case,the appellant paired up the individuals. While the record is a bit unclear, it appears that the appellant or her agent who did not reside at the home was the one who listed the shared housing. 10. The appellant imposed a series of rules significantly restricting guests and visitors of tenants. 11. An advertisement or listing of the home for sale noted that it was rental property used as a boarding home. The originator of that ad indicated that the ad was a mistake. 12. The Renton Municipal Code contains the following definitions: BOARDING OR LODGING HOUSE: A dwelling or part of a dwelling other than a motel or hotel, where lodging with or without meals is provided for compensation,and boarding rooms do not contain kitchen facilities. (4-11-060: DEFINITIONS B) FAMILY: A number of related individuals, or not more than four(4)unrelated individuals, living together as a single household. (4-11-060: DEFINITIONS F) 611 Cedar Ave. S Appeal Hearing File No.: LUA00-126,AAD December 21, 2000 Page 7 13. The fact that this is a duplex unit and each of the units were rented in a similar fashion is not relevant to a decision other than each unit is treated similarly by the appellant and the decision would apply equally to each unit. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The appellant has the burden of demonstrating that the decision of the City Official was either in error, or was otherwise contrary to law or constitutional provisions, or was arbitrary and capricious (Section 4-8-110(E)(7)(b). The appellant has failed to demonstrate that the action of the City should be modified or reversed. The decision is affirmed. 2. Arbitrary and capricious action has been defined as willful and unreasoning action in disregard of the facts and circumstances. A decision,when exercised honestly and upon due consideration of the facts and circumstances, is not arbitrary or capricious(Northern Pacific Transport Co. v Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, 69 Wn. 2d 472, 478 (1966). 3. An action is likewise clearly erroneous when, although there is evidence to support it,the reviewing body, on the entire evidence, is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed. (Ancheta v Daly, 77 Wn. 2d 255, 259(1969). 4. The appellant has failed to demonstrate that the decision was founded upon anything but a fair review of facts and requirements of code as it pertains to the use. The appellant has failed to demonstrate with cogent evidence that a mistake was made. 5. The individual renters were not living together "as a single household" either of related individuals or unrelated individuals. There is evidence that each paid separate rent for individual space and that the entire unit was never rented as a whole to a"household." The tenants were enlisted individually or put together by the appellant or her agent to fill out rooms in the unit. 6. The restrictions, imposed from without by the appellant, limited the tenants'freedom to act as a household. Individuals were not permitted overnight guests and visits by outsiders were restricted. There could be no parties or stays by tenants'respective girlfriends or boyfriends. 7. Again,most telling that the units in this home were lodging or boarding were that the appellant only collected what might be considered the fully owing rent for a fully rented unit if each room was let. If a room was not taken than the appellant did not collect any rent for that individual part of the home or unit. The "single household" was never renting the "single" house or unit. 8. Since the burden of demonstrating error is on the appellant,this office can reach no other conclusion but that the City made the correct determination. The decision below must be affirmed. 9. While this office must confirm the decision below,this office does have to suggest that the entire matter is almost one with no discernable substance. It appears to be a matter of a distinction without a difference. It is difficult to identify a noticeable difference whether four individuals share a rental house as a single household without any barriers between rooms or those four individuals individually rent rooms within the same home as a form of shared housing. In either case the result would still have 611 Cedar Ave. S Appeal Hearing File No.: LUA00-126,AAD December 21, 2000 Page 8 as many unrelated people living at the residence or as many vehicles possibly parked alongside it. And there seems little real difference in how the rent is paid or totaled. But the code does distinguish between these housing types and it may be that in the former case,the "household unit" might be more uniform and act more family-like in the community and with shared interests and be less transient, whereas,those renting and without much of a common bond between them might seem more like hotel guests and less a part of a single family neighborhood. 10. In any event,the decision below is affirmed. DECISION: The appeal is denied. ORDERED THIS 21st day of December,2000. FRED J.

Prekaski with regard to the above referenced matter. This letter is to request an appeal to the Hearing Examiner of the administrative decision regarding the use of Ms. Prekaski's property located at 611 Cedar Avenue South, Renton, Washington 98055, and to designate their property as a boarding or lodging house. Ms. Prekaski contacted the City prior to the purchase of the property and was told that the Renton Municipal City Code 4-II-060 Definition F defined a family as 4 or fewer unrelated individuals living together in a single household. We believe that the property is being used in compliance with the City Code under that definition. There are four(4) single adults living together as a family, sharing a common living area and kitchen facilities. Additionally, Section 4-11-020(B)which defines a boarding or lodging house specifically states that the boarding house should not contain kitchen facilities. Ms. Prekaski's house does contain kitchen facilities which are shared by the housemates. The real estate listing for sale was an error by Howard Johnson Realtors based upon information obtained from neighbors. Ms. Prekaski previously corrected this error as evidenced by the enclosed letter from Howard Johnson Realtors apologizing for this error. In addition to the above, the complaint by the City refers to the ad listed under "wanted to share" in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer on August 21, 2000. The City should refer back to the copy of the paper to the "wanted to share" large section under rentals. There are numerous homes and apartments listed in the City of Renton. Sharing a house with unrelated adults is a very common form of housing due to the very high cost of real estate in this area, and the desire on the part of many individuals to stay within a budget for their rent. Page—2- September 18, 2000 We would also like to comment that the home on Cedar has been used as a rental property for many years. The prior tenants included non-working adults. All of Ms. Prekaski's housemates are responsible adults who work full time. I believe this is an improvement to the neighborhood. The house has been completely painted, a new roof installed and new carpet installed in some of the rooms. Ms. Prekaski feels the property looks much better than it did while being occupied by the former tenants.

Planning/Building/Public Works Department • aQ$,s ' Jesse Tanner,Mayor Gregg Zimmerman P.E.,Administrator m September 8,2000 - Terry L.Prekaski 5510 32nd Ave NE " Bellevue,WA 98005 • Dear Ms.Prekaski: SUBJECT: USE OF LEGAL NON-CONFORMING DUPLEX AS A ROOMING/BOARDING HOUSE LOCATED AT 611 CEDAR AVENUE SOUTH,RENTON. The City of Renton, in responding to complaints, has initiated an investigation into the use of the above subject residence as a rooming/boarding house. Documentation, which includes an ad from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, dated August 21, 2000, and a Real Estate Listing for sale of the property, has led to the determination that the legal non-conforming duplex located at 611 Cedar Avenue South is currently being utilized as a rooming/boarding house. Renton Municipal Code Section 4-11-020 defines Boarding or Lodging House as: 1. Boarding or Lodging House: A dwelling or part of a dwelling other than a motel or hotel, where lodging with or without meals is provided for compensation, and boarding rooms do not contain kitchen facilities. Your ad, listed under"Wanted to Share", is an attempt by you, as the landlord, to individually gamer renters, and is not in conformance with the intent of the Code. Since you, as the landlord, are seeking individual renters,your use of the structure meets the definition of a boarding or lodging house. The current zoning for 611 Cedar Avenue South is(R-8)Residential 8 DU/AC. Renton Municipal Code, Section 4-2-060C,specifically disallows boarding or lodging houses in this zone. Renton Municipal Code Section 4-10-010D3 states: "Changes: The use is not changed to a different nonconforming use. The nonconforming use of a building or structure shall not be changed to another nonconforming use." The use of your legal nonconforming duplex at the above subject address, may not be changed to a use that is prohibited which is,in this case,a boarding or lodging house. An Administrative decision has been rendered to formally notify you that you are to immediately cease and desist the use of the structure at 611 Cedar Avenue South as a boarding or lodging house. This Administrative land use decision will become final if the decision is not appealed within 14 days of the date of the decision. An appeal of the decision must be filed within the 14-day appeal period (RCW 43-21.C.075 (3);WAC 197-11-680). An appeal to the Hearing Examiner is governed by Title IV, Section 4-8-11.B,which requires that such appeals be filed directly with the Hearing Examiner. Appeals must be made in writing on or before 5:00 PM on September 22,2000. Any appeal must be accompanied by a $75.00 fee and other specific requirements. Sincerely, • Ill I* (31-6k 1-1-611"76— .
