PUBLIC HEARING. Royal Hills Preliminary Plat and Rezone-Continued from 6-6-66
5
This being the date set, the hearing was declared open and continued. A letter from
Gordon Ericksen, Planning Director reported Planning Commission review of revised
plans for the Preliminary Plat on June 22, 1966. The Plattors requested variances
and rezone of the property from GS-1 to R-1 and since review of the various changes
the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Plat with variances and rezone
as revised. Audience comment was invited and Mr. David Kennedy of Livingstone, Moore
and Wallace, Inc. Architects for the property owner, advised that problems have now
been overcome and requested that the Planning Commission recommendation be approved
and the Plat accepted accordingly. Mr. K. A. Sanwick, President of Viking Investment
Company, associate of Sparkman & McLean Co, the property owners, corroborated state-
ments by Mr. Kennedy of compliance and likewise requested adoption of the Plat.
Inquiry was made by Roger Thoreson regarding use of S.E. 154th Street for access as
had been previously proposed. Planning Director Ericksen displayed a map of the
area and designated newly designed route West of Tiffany Park and through the sub-
station right-of-way. Inquiries followed regarding location of the new access and
its proximity to existing residences where numerous children play, Bonneville permit
for use of the new area and possible utilization of S.E. 154th , as made by E. Lee
Morgan, Marcie Wiedeman, Malcolm Blom and Anne Peopwski. It was pointed out that S .E.
154th is no longer being considered for access, the new routing deemed feasible and
satisfactory for street purposes, the intent being to redevelop the road and not to
abut private properties. Mr. Frank Holman, Chairman of the Tiffany, Fark neighborhood
committee advised the citizens of Tiffany would not object and agree to the present
plans inasmuch as S.E. 154th is not to be used. Mr. Donald Cade called attention to a
large open storm drain in the area and was advised this would be given consideration
by the present developer and adjacent developers as well as the City with regard to
covering and containment in regard for children in the area. . Councilman Pedersen
inquired regarding lake designated on the map and Mr. Kennedy advised it was a swampy
area which will be developed and a lake created. Moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse,
that the hearing be declared closed. Carried. Council action was invited.
Councilman Pedersen inquired regarding prior Tiffany Park Plat development proposal
wherein 5 acre park was to have been dedicated to the City, and was advised that the
newly proposed plat of Cendi-Crest is the plat containing park and school site but
this has not yet been completed. This development will be the neighbor of the
Sparkman McLean development rather than Tiffany Park.
Moved by Poli, seconded by Gianini, to concur in the recommendation of the
Planning Commission, accepting the Preliminary Plat, rezone and variance requests
as per revisions outlined. The motion carried.
COMMUNICATIONS:
The following Communications were read by the City Clerk with Council actions taken
as follows:
Rainier Asphalt Paving Company, Martin Overmyer, request for 40 day time extension
on 4th Avenue North Extension, Arterial Street Project #3, C.A.G. 1020-66. Delay
is caused by weather conditions, City Water Department construction of a water main
from M Street to 132nd Avenue S.E. and a King County project adjoining to the East.
Affixed thereto was recommendation from Jack Wilson, City Engineer, that extension
be granted as requested. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the recom-
mendation of the City Engineer granting the time •extension as requested. Carried.

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal of Planning Commission Decision - Royal Hills
(Continued from 5-2-66)
This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communication was read
from Gordon Ericksen, Planning Director, recalling previous action of the Planning
Commission and subsequent revisions by the Plattor since the denial to bring Royal Hills
Plat into conformance to Code requirements, except for areas where variances are being
requested. Access has not been fully resolved but it is anticipated this can be
worked out with further study. In view of the steep terrain and potential flood
areas it was pointed out that the City should resolve the question of public
liability prior to approval of the final plat.
A letter from Livingstone, Moore and Wallace, Inc. called attention to the
variances requested due to topography conditions and of willingness to develop
within limitations of not being detrimental to the neighbors and the comprehensive
plan, and that they were working toward suitable access. Possibility of slides, the
developers responsibility,is ctoxitrolled- as shown oii the Preliminary Plat and will
be detailed in the development plans to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. A
Hold Harmless Agreement was recommended by the Planning Director concerning the City's
liability. It was felt that adjustments had been made on all items concerned and
approval of the Preliminary Plat ,as revised on June 6th with variances as outlined ,
was requested. Mr. Kay Sanwick, Jr., one of the owners of the property,pointed out
the various right-of-way easements and terrain difficulties they have been faced
with and that the Sparkman-McLean Company, one of the major investment Companies,
is the property owner and proper development would be assured -with their only desire
being to secure approval to commence,• expediting resolve of the••problems:
Mr. Francis Holman, 15520 - 120th Ave. S.E., on behalf of the some 38 residents
of Tiffany Park area objected to the use of S.E. 154th as an access route to the
property and Mr. Malcolm Blom added his opposition to such use of the street.
Mrs. Anne Peopwski stated that 154th goes through the corner of her block and the
traffic is bad enough now. A map was displayed of the subject area and possible
access routes denoted. Mr. Kennedy pointed out that 154th was designated as an
arterial on the old Plat of Tiffany Park to conform to the City's arterial street
plan and that they are presently working with the new owners of Sendai Crest, the
new name for the Tiffany development, to come up with new access. After further
discussion regarding recreational development within the area, it was moved by
Perry, seconded by Pedersen, that the hearing be continued to July 11, 1966 with
referral to the Planning Commission for consideration of the Plat as per'proposed
revisions. Carried.
PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal of Planning Commission decision - Stoneway Concrete, Inc.
Denial of Variance request for addition to existing shop building
A letter was read from the Planning Director recalling actions of the Commission in
its denial, the structure proposed to be constructed to the edge of the highway right
of way line (19ft. 6 inches into the right of way,).. The State Hwy. Department is.
studying the widening of said highway to 4 lanes, which need therefor has not yet been
resolved as far as the additional right of way is concerned. Also, traffic conditions
in the vicinity of applicants property present serious public safety problems and
potential accident hazard which should be given attention in future development.
A letter from P. J. McKay, of the State Highway Department, recommended the addi-
tion be kept out of the right-of-way, that access be made to SR 169 by way of the
City Hall road rather than building another access to the new shop building, and
that a 20' setback from the right-of-way be observed, as they plan to develop the
highway in the near future.

SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat of Royal Hills, Appl . No. S-284-66
and Request for Rezone from GS—I to R—l .
Gentlemen:
On February 3, 1966 we submitted a Preliminary Plat of Royal Hills. . In
conjunction with it, we requested certain variances and a rezone of the
subject property from GS—I to R—I . The Plat of Royal Hills is proposed
as a planned unit development with a home owners association. The site
is rather steep with a series of intermediate benches. It rises from the
Cedar River, elevation 50 feet, to approximately 275 feet on the westerly
edge. The area continues to rise to the southwest to 440 feet elevation
at the entrance to Tiffany Park. The series ofrbenches defines the •
development pattern within severe limitations. On one of the benches is
' a large beaver pond. •
The preliminary plat has been designed within the limits of the topography
with a lake at the location of the beaver pond to provide an unusual
amenity and to create open space. In most instances it conforms to the •
City's standards. In some Instances we have had to deviate from these •
standards because of the terrain.
We request that the preliminary plat of Royal Hills be approved and that
a variance and/or special permit be granted to allow deviations from the.
standard. This is requested as the topography is such as to create special '
and unusual conditions which would deprive the owner reasonable use of
his land. He has already committed a total of 70.4 acres to 166 lots and
community open spaces; an average of 18,475 square feet per lot. The
variance is requested so the owner may develop his property within the
limits of normal and substantial property rights. Tills is the right to
develop property as the owner desires within the two limitations of not
being detrimental to his neighbor and the official comprehensive plan for
the City.
•
The public welfare and the adjoining properties are adequately shielded
from any detrimental effects in usage of the subject land. This exists
due to the natural terrain and the encroachment of many surrounding ease—
ments. These features create a situation in which Royal Hills could be
defined as a "neighborhood". It is smaller than the normal population of
a neighborhood. The isolation does cause a "neighborhood" effect and with
the erne i t l to planned, Royal Hills will be a very desirable- and a stable

Specific items for which a variance and/or special permit ' are requested' . '
are listed below. This list is not all inclusive and reference is made ,

2. Deletion of midblock walkways.
3. Approval of community facilities: : . .
a. Clubhouse, Swimming Pool and Parking Area -on Tract A;
It is understood that detailed plans will have, to;be
submitted for improvements.
b. Parking ,Area west of Lot 115 and adjacent to the -"lake;
This area will not be used for parking for said Tract A:, '
Since the Planning Commission meeting on March 23 we have had occasion :to
review the plat with Mr. Erickson. The SR—I zoning which was- recommended
provides for 75 ft. lot frontages. In the proposed plat of Royal Hills
. there are 13 lots shown that do not have 75 foot frontage.
The rezone application was for a R—1 zoning which permits 5,000 Sq. ft.
lots. It was not our intention to plat this area into 5,000 sq. ft. lots:
It has been pointed out earlier that there ' is an average of 18,475 sq. ft.
per lot within the plat. The R—I zoning was requested for a total of 14•
. lots which are less than 7500 sq. ft. Under the proposed zoning ordinance
(which we realize has not been adopted) there is a provision for 25% of
• the lots within a subdivision to be less than the stated square foot -
minimum. These, of course, then must be compensated for by other lots
which are larger. We request that we be divan the sameconsideration.

The City Engineer, Mr. Wilson, in a letter dated March 23 to the Planning
Director stated that he would be willing to approve the Preliminary Plat
at Royal Hills providing the following conditions were satisfied:
Condition No. 1 refers to the 40' right—of—way requested as the Variance
A. I . We are now in agreement upon this point.
Condition No. 2 was the two dedicated and deeded accesses. We are still
working towards the resolution of suitable access. However, the developers
understand that an approved dedicated right—of—way connecting Royal Hills
to the street system of the City of Renton must be provided before any
plat can be recorded and we do concur with Mr. Wilson's requirement.
No. 3 refers to slopes and the possibility of slides due to the topography
of the land. This condition is, of course, a developer responsibility
and subject to the approval of the Preliminary Plat, details of the slopes
will be covered in the detailed development plans to the satisfaction of
Mr. Wilson. •
The Planning Director in his letter of April 18 to the City Council noted
the following points: I . The topography is steep, on which point we
concur. 2. He re—stated the access problem as outlined by the City Engneer.
3. He referred to the rezoning defining the reason for the recommendation
of SR—I zoning rather than R—1 zoning.
•
It was stated above in our letter the reason for the request of R—I zoning •
and stipulated that we could live with the SR—I zoning with the one con—
dition that would allow us to have 15% of the lots of a lesser area and
frontage.
Paragraph 4 was a re—statement of the potential slide problem outlined by •
the City Engineer. Mr. Erickson suggests the use of a "hold harmless"
agreement concerning the City's liability. Depending upon the degree of
the slide potential as is finally determined by the City Engineer, an
agreement can be worked out to his satisfaction.
Paragraph 5 is a brief statement of the variances requested.
In the final paragraph -of Mr. Erickson's letter, he stated that these
questions could "be resolved with additional adjustments by the developers".
Substantial adjustments have been made throughout the course of the Pre—
liminary Platting process. We have discussed these adjustments with the
City Engineer's office and with Mr. Erickson. We believe we have come to
an agreement on all of the items concerned and request the approval of
the Preliminary Plat as revised on June 6, 1966 and the variances as stated
above. We are in agreement with the proposed SR—I zoning, with the per—
centage factor.

C) REZONE APPLICATIONS :
1)` Royal Hills Plat (Sparkman 6 McLean) , Apple No. R-285-66 , request
for rezone from GS-1 to R-1, continued from March 9 .
Staff report : Mr. Ericksen recommended this be rezoned to
SR-1.
Chairman Garrison asked if there were any comments from the audi-
ence. There being none , the following action was taken:
ACTION:
Moved by Denzer, seconded by Cordell , that the hearing be
closed. Motion carried.
Moved by Racanello , seconded by Denzer, to, recommend to the
City Council the rezone from GS-1 to SR-1, as this is in agree-
ment with the Comprehensive P-. n. otion carried.
( 2) King County Public Hospital District #1 , Appl. No . R-303-66 , re-
quest for rezone from GS-1 to R-4 , of property located at the in-
tersection of 4th Avenue North and E Street , extending north to
5th Avenue N. and to the east to I Street .
(a) Staff report : The Comprehensive Plan indicates the area
as potential multiple residential. The surrounding uses are pre-
dominantly residential. The Community Facilities Plan 1 ,
indicates the area for a potential Junior High School site. The
School District , however, questiors this location, and feels that
a junior high school site should be located further to the east .
The feasibility of this area being used for a park site was dis-
cussed with the Park Director. The need was , however, question-
able at this time .
(b) Committee report: Recommends rezoning to R-4 of Lots 1,
2 , 3 ,4 , 7 , 8 ,9 ,10 , Block 1 ; and Lots 1 through 4 of Block 6 ,
Rainier Acres Addition ; and rezoning to R-3 Lots 5 through 10 ,
of Block 6 ; and Lots 1 and 10 , of Block 7 , Rainier Acres Addition.
Mr. Ericksen showed the area on the map, pointing out the lots
recommended by the Committee for R-3 and R-4 .
Chairman Garrison invited comments from the audience.
Mr. John Payne, representing the Hospital District , stated that
after consideration of potential land use it is felt that the
R-4 zoning for apartmerits,would be the best use of the land.
Also, since the "Hospital District represents the public, it would
accrue to the benefit of the public to get the highest appraisal
as possible for the land , since the money would be used to help
build the new hospital facility.
In the discussion that followed the Commission members express-
ed concern for the. preservation of land values of the single
family residences to the east and west. It was suggested because
of the terrain that Lots 4 and 7 be rezoned to R-3 rather than
R-4 .
Mr. Tonda, 448 E Street , objected to the proposed rezoning for
apartments . He stated that this is surrounded on three sides by
single family residences , and the rezoning to apartment use of
the large area would devaluate property values of the single
family homes .
Discussion followed relative to the potential use of this area for
a junior high school site or a park site.

situated north of SE 154th and east of 116th Avenue *SE.
Committee report : Recommends approval since the majority ,
of the lots exceed 6000 sqo ft.
