the rezone of Tracts 62 , 65 66 , Hillman' s Lake Washington Garden of
Eden No. 1 from G-7200 to R-4 . Motion carried. Mr. Felker abstained
from voting.
5. Richard Donderog Lots 12.9 13 , Block 18 , Renton Farm Plat #39 from R®2
The Committee report was to recommend approval of the rezone to
R-4 . Planning Department report was to recommend that the request
for rezone be granted for the following reasonsg that the area is con-
tiguous to an Rm4 District. and the future use of the area is expected
to be consistent with Rm4 standards.
Mr. Jensen showed slides of the area and _of. the proposed plot
plan.
Mr. Dondero stated that the reason he had asked for R-4 instead
of the R-3 was that because of the required 20 ° setback on 4th Avenue
North in order to utilize the property to advantage he wished to
go to the higher density, Rm4 . However, he stated that he plans to
build only one-story buildings.
Chairman Felker ' asked if there were any objections to this re-
zone.
Mr. Petchnick9 owner of Lot 11 , stated that he objected to the
R-4 because of the height allowed in this districts regardless of the
stated intention of the applicant to build only one story.
Mr. Jensen stated that a point to consider is that most of the
residences in this area are more than one story.
In reply to the question as to whether he would voluntarily
agree to the restriction of one story, Mr. Dondero stated that he
did not feel- this was necessary.
Mr. Felker stated this was in the area which the Planning Commis-
lion had previously recommended for Rm4 arid that it is
an R-4 area, so he that this was a reasonable use for the proper-
ty.
It was then moved by Denzer9 seconded by Holmes, to recommend to
the City Council the rezone of the subject property to Rm4. Motion
carried.
6) Albert Balch. Property on 4th Avenue North (Cemetery Road) from R®1
The Committee report was read recommending approval of the rezone
to R-4.
The Planning Director reported that an analysis of the area pro-
posed for high density uses indicates the following factorsg
1) The area is in close proximity to the Central City with its
industrial and commercial developments.
2) The area has been heavily mined for gravel, and will require
extensive grading including both excavation and filling to make the area
suitable for residential purposes.
3) The area as a large tract could be developed to high density
residential uses without detriment to adjacent or nearby residential
areas.
4) The area is now served by a major arterial and adequate
street system can be developed within the tract which will not impose
or encourage any undue traffic burden on adjacent or nearby residents.

5) The proximity of the tract to the Central City justifiesconsiderationofthelandforhigherdensityandmoreintensiveland
uses.
Slides of, the area were shown and Mr. Jensen stated that this is
an area previously proposed for rezone to R-3 and approved by the
Council.The ordinance was held up until the right of way 'for the roadthroughthisareawasdefined. This matter has now been resolved,
and the area is ready for development.
Chairman Felker asked if there were any written or oral proteststotherezone. There were none.
In the discussion that followed relative to the width of the
proposed roads City Engineer Wilson stated that most of the road is80 ' to 100 ' and the portion going through the Balch property is 100 'to 130 ' in width.
It was then moved by Racanello , seconded by Denzer that we re-commend to the City Council that the R-4 be granted. Motion carried.
7 . Jay Holmes: property on Rainier Avenue in the vicinity of 89th SouthsroandG=6000 to B-1.
As an interested party in this matters, Mr. Holmes excused him-self from the discussion.
The Committee reported recommending approval of the request forB-1 zoning.
The Planning Department report was read recommending that the '
request for rezone to B-1 be approved for the following reasons :
1) A portion of the property was previously zoned for businessintheCountyandadjacentpropertytothenorthispresentlyzonedandusedforbusinessinthecounty.
2) The relationship of the property to Rainier Avenue together
with the general terrain is evidence of the suitability of the landforcommercialorhighdensityresidentialpurposes.
