That properties as described in Application No. R-224-65 (Cashway Lumber)be reclassified from R-2 to B-1, subject to approval of the Council of the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Map as heretofore recommended. Moved by tm Schellert, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur in the recommendation of the Planning Commission and that this matter be referred to the LAW AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE to be held in abeyance pending the results of the April 19th hearing. By way of clari- fication it was noted that this is the property described in item (2) above. The otion carried. 5. That properties described in Application No. R-227-65 (Dalpay, School District, Hokenson) be reclassified from G-7200 to B-1. This recommendation, based upon previous action of the City Council, will be in agreement with the Comprehensive Land Use Map. Moved by Delaurenti,' seconded by Perry, to concur in the recommendation of the Planning Commission and refer this matter to the LAW AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE for drafting of the proper ordinance. Carried. 6. That properties as described in Application No. R-228-65 (Arthur Webb) be rezoned from B-1 and G-6000 to L-1. This property is located on Renton Junction Way between 87th and 89th Avenues South. This proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance is in agreement with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist, to concur with the rezone request of the Planning Commission and to refer this matter to the LAW AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE for drafting of the proper ordinance. Carried. A letter from Mrs. Bertha Shane was read relative to water damage at premises located at 528 "H" Street and requesting that the Council reconsider previous decisions and advise what action she can take to recover these damages from the City. Moved by Gianini, seconded by Perry, to refer this letter to the Fire and Water Con2n41ttea. Councilman Delaurenti objected on the grounds that this represents a legal problem and should be referred to the City Attorney. Considerable discussion followed regarding what had transpired during the past several months and the City Attorney again advised that inasmuch as a claim had not been filed in writing within the specified time limitation, this did not represent a legal claim and the Council could take no action at this time. In view of the failure to comply with the statutory requirements for the filing of a claim against a second-class city, the Insurance Company could not make a settlement, nor could City Funds be used for this purpose without a court order. Mr. Shellan stated that Mrs. Shane had been fully advised of these facts and the action she must take. A vote on the above motion failed. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Delaurenti, to refer this matter to the CIffifITORNEY to answer Mrs. Shane's letter. Carried. A letter from the Renton Knights of Columbus was read requesting permission to sell tickets on 3rd Avenue between Wells and Williams Streets on Saturday, May 8th and further requesting they be granted use of one parking stall for display purposes.

Eckart, was read stating their position regarding the right-of-way across their property which will be required for the new freeway access road. Mayor Custer stated that he was pre- pared to make recommendations to the committee to which this matter is referred. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Pedersen, to refer this matter to the STREET AND ALLEY COMMITTEE and CITY ENGINEER to study and report back. Carried. APPOINTMENTS: A letter was read from Mayor Custer appointing Mr. Albert Reisberg to the position of Building Director for the City of Renton, effective .April 6,.. 1965, and requesting Council's concurrence.

Mr. Peretti voted no. REZONES 3. JOE BANASKY: APPL. NO. R-223-65 , request for rezone from G to B-1 and R-4 , property on Lake Washington Blvd, S .E. Committee report Recommend the granting of the rezone as re- quested-_._.. - Director's report° Recommend that the proposed bezcne be consid- ered as th Th. _ e;,tent of business use to be located north of the North Renton Interchange as this , together with existing business zon- ing ,will constitute adequate area to serve the needs of the future multiple residential district expected to locate in this vicinity. Chairman .Felker asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak on this matter° Mr. Joe Banasky, applicant , stated that when his property was annexed to the City he was assured that he could retain the business zoning. Chairman Felker stated that the proposed rezone is reasonable , but the Comprehensive Land Use Map is not in agreement , so this would have to be changed before the zoning is granted, unless the Commission could justify this zone as immediately adjacent to an industrial area. Councilman Schellert commented that this has been discussed by the Council , and it has been suggested that the Comprehensive Plan provide some means whereby certain retail-commercial uses might be allowed in connection with high density residential uses. Mr. Jensen stated that in looking at the map of this area where the multiple residential area abuts industrial it would seem reason- able for the Planning Commission to allow some commercial uses as a buffer between. It was then moved by Peretti , seconded by Cordell , that the east- erly 100 ' of the subject property bordering on Lake Washington Boule- vard be rezoned to B-1 and that the balance of the subject property be rezoned to R=4, this being consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, in that the property immediately adjoins industrial use.

This is an area with many substantial residences whose economic life may be exten-ded for many years ;, provided that blighting influences are not intro- duced which will overyhelm or seriously impair the existing desirable living conditions . If the Land Use Map and zoning classification are changed to allow businecr use it would be desirable tc provide screen- ing for parking areas and general enclosure for any extension of the existing or any other business qse not directly related to or compat- ible with the residenti_aluses abutting on the common streets . Mr. Jensen stated that he had talked with Mr. Dunn, the applicant, who is willing to pre° i:Ic ecrcening and planting as a buffer between the business and residential areas. Mr. Dunn, showing a map of the area, pointed out the proposed rezone and the Company's proposal to put up a sight obscuring hedge in the area across from the R-2 area. An otjection was voiced from a property owner who lives across from the proposed 5r-ezone,, in that the business zoning would allow the piling of lumber across from his residence, Mr. Dunn stated that there would be a storage shed in the area in question and any open areas would be adequately screened with plantings , which he felt would be less objectionable than deteriorating houses , if these were to remain. Mr. Jensen advised that the ordinance requires that such business uses provide an 8 ' sight obscuring fence .

Mr. Schellert stated that the Council has amended the Comprehen- sive ',and Use Map to allow business uses in these areas to a aepth of 500 ' along Sunset Highway. Chairman Felker asked if there was anyone who wished to speak on this matter. There being no protests , the hearing was declared closed.

Committee report: Recommend that this matter be held until such tame a, a revised plot plan is presented to show a. 40 ° easement street. Director' s resort: Recommend that the request for rezone be granted ast' o proposed use is in agreement with the Comprehensive Land Use Plana Mr. Jensen etated that the plot plan as originally submitted showed the property divided into three parcels. The new plot plan shows the property as one parcel fronting on Cemetery Road, and also a revised description for only 85 ° was submitted. At the time a building permit is requested the matter of access would have to be resolved , but is not a part of this rezone. Mr. Peretti , chairman of the rezone committee, stated that in view of the revised plot plan and description he would recommend granting the rezone. Chairman Felker asked if there wore any objections to the rezone. There being none the hearing was declared closed.

Chairman Felker asked if there were comments from the audience relative to this matter. Mr. Bob Bower, contractor for the sign company, displayed a drawing of the proposed sign, which would extend 6" out from the or- iginal sign, but would be an attractive addition to the sign. City Engineer Jack Wilson stated that he did not feel it is de- sirable to have signs overhanging the curb in violation to the sign ordinance. It was then moved by Peretti, seconded by Teegarden, that the Var- iance be denied. During discussion on the question, Mr. Schomberg, the cafe owner, stated that he felt that this sign is very necessary to help in up- grading and brightening up this street. Mr. Teegarden stated that he would withdraw his second and re- consider the matter. Mr. Garrison stated that if this sign is to be 16 ° above the side- walk it would not interfere with ,visibilyty of traffic and would have NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING RENTON PLANNtING COMMISSION RENTON, WASHINGTON A PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD BY THE RENTON PLANNING COMMISSION AT ITS REGULAR MEETING IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 'CITY HALL, RENTON, WASHINGTON, ON February 24, 19 65 AT B;00 P.M.

April 5 , 1965 Honorable Mayor Donald Custer Members of the City Council Gentlemen: The Planning Commission at its public hearing of March 24 , 1965, after due consideration and study recommended that certain amendments be made in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and that certain amend- ments be made to the Zoning Ordinance. 1. The Commission recommends that the Comprehen- sive Land Use Map be amended to indicate a public use rather than commercial for the proposed civic center site, lying between Mill Street, Houser Way and the Cedar River. 2. The Planning Commission recommends that the Comprehensive Land Use Plan be amended to indicate a change from Multiple Residential use to Retail- Commercial use of Lots 1 through 5 , Block 9 , Car Works Addition to the City of Renton. 3. JOE BANASKY: The Planning Commission recom- mends that the property as described in APPLICATION NO. R-223-65 be rezoned from G to B-1 and R-4 as re- quested. This recommendation was made by the Com- mission upon their determination that this proposed zoning change is in agreement with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. 4. CASHWAY LUMBER: The Planning Commission recommends that properties as described in APPLICATION NO. R-224- 65 be reclassified from R-2 to B-1, subject to appro- val of the Council of the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Map as heretofore recommended. 5. DALPAY, SCHOOL DISTRICT, HOKENSON: The Plan- ning Commission recommends that properties described in APPLICATION NO. R-227-65 be reclassified from G-7200 to B-1 as requested. The foregoing recommen- dation, based upon previous action of the City Coun- cil, will be in agreement with the Comprehensive Land 1-
