property located approximately 1200 ' north of
S . W. 43rd on W . Valley Highway .
Acting Secretary Mola introduced the item to the Commis -
sion at the request of the Chairman , and a briefing from
the staff was invited . Assistant Planner Smith pointed
out the location of the 5 . 8 acre site 'situated between
the West Valley Highway and the Burlington-Northern
railroad tracks just north of S . W. 43rd St . He noted
that approximately two acres of the property contains a
ponding area suitable for wildlife habitat . He stated
that the applicant has requested permission to fill the
Renton Planning Commission
Meeting September 24 , 1975
Page Two
entire site with approximately 78 ,000 cubic yards of fill
material , and development plans included construction of
an office building , construction repair shop and outside
storage area at the east end of the site . A Final Environ-
mental Impact Statement has been prepared , and comments from
interested parties have been reviewed by the Planning Com-
mission , Special Studies Committee , and staff. Mr. Smith
stated that a Shoreline Management Permit has been granted
allowing filling , grading , and development of the westerly
300 feet of the site or to the top of the existing pond
bank , whichever is less .
Slides of the property were viewed , with special emphasis
on the ponding area , which were taken at all seasons of the
year., The topography of the property was described and
significant landmarks were identified . Mr. Smith reviewed
the progress of the application, noting that it
had been received on March 6 , 1974 , along with an applica-
tion for rezone from G to M-P . The request for rezone to
M-P had been granted in June 1974.
'The Chairman called for comment from the applicant.
Alan Austin of Montgomery, Purdue , Blankenship and Austin ,
a lawyer representing Scarsella Brothers , noted the pre-
sence of the applicant in the audience and referred the
Commission to the Final Environmental Impact Statement
that had been prepared to address the issues involved and
offered to respond to any questions from the Commission .
He stated that the basic problem concerns the request by
the Soil Conservation Service that 110 acres of wetlands
be maintained or mitigated in the Green River Valley by
the four municipalities of Renton , Kent , Auburn , Tukwila ,
and King County ; and he displayed a map published by that
agency indicating their recommendations regarding those
areas , including the Scarsella pond . He cited the City
of Renton ' s resolution of July 22 , 1974 , supporting the
program but indicating that no City funds were to be
expended for the purpose without prior approval of the
City. He referred to the recommendation by the Soil Con-
. servation Service that not less than two percent of land
be preserved for wildlife and noted that in this situation
nearly sixty percent of the property was being designated
for this purpose . Mr. Austin noted that they have complied
with all City and State requirements and indicated it is
their desire to comply with the City ' s Mining , Excavation
and Grading Ordinance . Mr. Austin noted the issuance of
a partial Shoreline Management , Permit and indicated that
it was their feeling that the Soil Conservation Service ,
U. S . Fish and Wildlife Service , and Washington Department
of Game were telling them to continue to wait until someone •
else makes the decision regarding which wetlands to actually
include in the 110 acres . It is their opinion that inasmuch
as the property was rezoned to M-P and is in agreement with
the Comprehensive Plan , intensive development should be
permitted . Mr. Austin said that $37 ,000 in sewer and water
assessments had been levied against the property by the City .
He stated there would be no decision required if the City
is going to acquire the property but indicated that it is
their belief that there has been no decision with regard
to the sharing of the 110 acres to be preserved by the
affected communities or the funding of those lands .
He requested a decision as to whether the City wants to
buy the property , condemn it , or grant the filling and
grading permit.

The applicant ' s representative described the formation of the
pond , claiming it was the result of drainage from fill to the
north and embankments of the railroad tracks to the east and
had no interaction with the Green River. He noted the pre-
sence of the West Valley Highway between the pond and the
River. He stated that Mr. Scarsella ' s lease at the present
location of his business has expired and is currently on a
month to month basis . He also noted that the business has
60 , 000 cubic yards of fill material stored in another area
on a limited time basis . He again offered to reply to
questions from the Commission .
The 'Chairman invited further input from the staff, but none
was offered . He called for comment from the audience , but
there was no response . The report from the Special Studies
Committee was then requested .
Commissioner Gibson , Chairman , stated that the Committee
had discussed the comments received in response to the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement , especially the reply submitted
by the Soil Conservation Service regarding the pond ' s rela-
tionship to the proposed wildlife mitigation areas and the
Agency ' s drainage channel project in which it was requested
that approval be obtained from the U . S . Fish and Wildlife
Service and the Washington Department of Game , should
there be a variance from their recommendation . They re-
viewed the proposed grading plan , site plan and Shoreline
Permit and felt that it was possible to allow much of the
project through a partial permit and yet satisfy the agencies
opposing the filling of the pond until other suitable miti -
gation areas are established . The Committee also noted that
a study of the effects of the P- 1 Channel system on the
wetland areas in the Valley is presently in progress . Under
the circumstances , Mr. Gibson stated that it was their recom-
mendation that approval be granted of a special permit to
fill and grade the westerly 300 feet or to the top bank of
the pond , whichever is less , until such time as a final
determination of suitable wildlife habitat areas is made
in accordance with Soil Conservation Service requirements
for the P- 1 Channel drainage project .
Mr . Gibson stated the recommended conditions of approval are
as follows :
1 . The establishment of earth berms a minimum five
feet in height along the north , south , and west
side of the property for construction equipment
storage area screening subject to final approval
of the Planning Department .
2 . Storm water and sedimentation control methods as
approved by the Public Works Department .
3 . Utilization of suitable erosion control methods
approved by the Planning Department .
4 . Final landscaping plan subject to Planning Depart-
ment approval .
5 . Suitable measures shall be used to control dust
and sand during the fill operation .
The Chairman again invited comment from the audience , but
none was offered . Discussion was then opened to the Commis-
sion .

Meeting September 24 , 1975

In response to Commissioner Ross ' inquiry regarding
offers for acquisition of his land , Mr. Scarsella stated
that he had received none from any private parties or
governmental agencies .
Commissioner Mola stated that it was his feeling that the
utilities assessment should not be levied to include the
ponding area , that an adjustment should be made , and that
Mr. Scarsella was being penalized in being asked to main-
tain more than two percent of his property for game and
wildlife . He indicated a need for a commitment from
the city , federal and state agencies involved regarding
the acquisition of these areas . He described the pond
as a mosquito infested area that would benefit from
filling in his opinion .
In reply to questioning from the Chairman , Mr . Scarsella
indicated that the assessment had been based upon square
footage of the entire site .
Discussion followed with regard to the economic issues
involved in relation to the land use concerns , with
Commissioners Wik , Scholes and Teegarden noting that
as a land use decision making body , the recommendations
of the Soil Conservation Service , State Departments of
Game and Fisheries , and King County which indicated
the area as ecologically valuable necessitated their
consideration . All agreed that an adjustment in the
assessment should be reviewed and noted the difficulty
in making the decision . Commissioner Teegarden referred
to the current study by the Planning Department to deter-
mine the effects of the drainage channels on the wetlands
and indicated that until that determination had been made ,
the Commission should not allow filling , as it would be
an irrevocable action . Commissioner Walker queried
regarding the expected completion date of the special
study and was advised by Assistant Planning Director
Magstadt that the evaluation should be concluded by
December 31 , 1975 . Mr. Magstadt then briefly described
the program which will include certain mitigation mea-
sures to compensate for elimination of wetlands in
particular areas , recently specially funded by the State
Department of Community Development . Methods of acquisi -
tion of the properties will not be a part of the study .
The Assistant Planning Director advised that the Council
Community Services Committee is presently studying the
Planning Commission ' s recommendation for revision of the
Comprehensive Plan in the Green River Valley and that
hopefully an answer to the matter of compensation will
be provided . He noted that some conservation groups
have indicated they may have money to loan or donate ,
but acquisition has not been finalized at this time .
Further discussion ensued , with Commissioner Ross noting
that the pond was in existence at the time of the adoption
of the Comprehensive Plan , which has indicated for years
it is suitable for intensive use ; and , therefore , he
expressed his objection to its commitment as natural
habitat . Commissioner Teegarden responded that the
present Comprehensive Plan designates this property for
industrial use ; however , the Commission has recommended
to the Council that it be changed for this area and
indicates the Scarsella ponding area as greenbelt .

Meeting September 24, 1975

The Chairman recognized Mr. Austin , who displayed a picture
of the Soil Conservation Service ' s plan which identifies areas
of wetlands in the Valley and stated that there are other
areas in it that are adequate for preservation . He asked
for a decision on the basis of the law that was in effect
at the time of the application . He stated the alternative
is for the affected communities on the basis of population
and area to come up with a plan for definite designation
of wetlands and their acquisition . He stated that they are
proposing to fill the pond and do not need to fill the area
being approved . He also asked that Commissioner Teegarden
disqualify himself from voting based upon his earlier state-
ment that in the proposed revised Comprehensive Plan the ponding
area has been designated as greenbelt . Chairman Scholes
responded , for the record , that he did not believe that
any Planning Commission member has prejudged the decision .
Following a brief discussion among the Commissioners relative
to the basis for a decision , IT WAS
ACTION:
MOVED BY ROSS, SECONDED BY MOLA , THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE
CLOSED. MOTION CARRIED.
IT WAS THEN
ACTION:
MOVED BY ROSS, SECONDED BY MOLA , THAT THE SPECIAL PERMIT FOR
FILLING AND GRADING BY SCARSELLA BROTHERS, INC. BE GRANTED
FOR THE ENTIRE SITE AND THAT THE APPLICANT BE REQUIRED TO
CONTROL STORM WATER RUNOFF THROUGH UTILIZATION OF APPROVED
EROSION CONTROL METHODS; THAT HE BE REQUIRED TO PROPERLY
SCREEN THE STORAGE YARD AREA OF HIS CONSTRUCTION SITE SO
THAT IT WILL NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS
AND THAT A FINAL LANDSCAPE PLAN BE SUBMITTED TO THE PLANNING
DEPARTMENT FOR APPROVAL.
Discussion followed , especially with regard to the lengthy
study of land use in the Green River Valley in connection-
with the updating of the Comprehensive Plan , for which an
EIS was prepared . Chairman Scholes stated that it was his
opinion that every Commissioner has considered land use in
the subject area for a long period of time , has studied
the material involved , visited the site , and has personal
viewpoints toward environmental issues . However , the Chair-
main said he did not believe there was anyone on the Com-
mission who could prejudge the outcome of the vote . Com-
missioner Ross indicated his confidence in Commissioner
Teegarden to make a decision that would be proper and unbi -
ased .
On the question , a roll call vote was requested with the
following results :
GARRISON - AYE
GIBSON - NO
MOLA - AYE
ROSS - AYE

MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY WIK, THAT THE PLANNING COMMIS-
SION CONCUR IN THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE SPECIAL STUDIES COM-
MITTEE DATED SEPTEMBER 22, 1975, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THE
APPLICANT BE GIVEN THE OPTION OF SOME OTHER FORM OF SCREENING
ALONG THE NORTH, SOUTH, AND WEST SIDES OF THE PROPERTY FOR
CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT STORAGE IN LIEU OF A BERM SUCH AS AN
OPAQUE SCREEN TO BE APPROVED BY THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
Discussion ensued with Commissioner Mola inquiring regarding
appeal procedures , should the motion be passed , and the
possibility of acquisition of the property by federal and
state agencies . Commissioner Wik , noting that the Compre-
hensive Plan proposal for the Green River Valley is presently
being studied by the City Council ' s Community Services Com-
mittee , expressed the opinion that the City should be given
the opportunity to act regarding the property . With regard
to the length of study involving the application , it was
noted that the Final Environmental Impact Statement was dated
July 18 , 1975 , which was received too late for the July public
hearing and that the Planning Commission does not conduct
hearings during August. Commissioner Gibson , Chairman of
the Special Studies Committee , indicated that the group had
studied the EIS thoroughly during the month of August , and
he believed they had acted in an expeditious manner.
On the question , a roll call vote was requested with the
following results :
GARRISON - AYE

ROSS - NO
TEEGARDEN - AYE

MOTION CARRIED.
Mr . Austin expressed his apology for the impression he made
that any member of the Planning Commission was doing anything
dishonest and indicated that it was his feeling that a fact-
finding board should wait to hear everything before making a
decision .
A recess was declared by the Chairman at 9 : 30 p . m. The meeting was
resumed at 9 : 45 p . m. with all members noted above in attendance .
REZONE:
B. GARY MORITZ ; Appl . No . R-821-75 ; Rezone from G to B- 1 ;
property located on the E . side of Union Ave . N . E . approx .
400 ' south of N . E . 4th St .
Acting Secretary Mola introduced the rezone application . A
staff presentation was invited by the Chairman .
Noting that the review of the application had been continued
from the July public hearing at the request of Mr. Moritz ,
Assistant Planner Smith pointed out the G zoned . 67 acre site
located on the east side of Union Ave . N . E . just south of
N . E . 4th St . Mr . Smith then reviewed a blow-up map which
indicated both Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations in
the vicinity . He indicated that the Comprehensive Plan shows
business zoning to approximately 400 feet south of N . E . 4th St .
and touches about 20 feet on the northwest end of the property .
Renton Planning Com - sion
Meeting September 24 , 1975
Page Seven
Surrounding zoning was noted as R-3 , medium density , multi -
family to the north ; G , single family residential to the
east ; and B-1 , commercial , to the west across the street .
Mr . Smith stated that B- 1 zoning extends towards the north
on Union Ave . N . E . beyond the intersection with N . E . 4th
St. King County has been contacted relative to the appli -
cation of their Comprehensive Plan in the vicinity and
noted it designates potential business zoning near the
corner of N . E . 4th St . and 138th Ave . N . E . Areas near
the subject property are presently zoned S-R ( single
family residential ) . The general character of the
neighborhood was also described .
Comment was invited from the applicant .
Melvin Kleweno , 213 S . 4th , Kent , attorney representing
Mr. Moritz , noted that the City ' s Comprehensive Plan
indicates the four corners at the intersection of N . E .
4th St . and Union Ave . N . E . for commercial use . , He
discussed the philosophy of cluster zoning versus strip
zoning and indicated that it was his understanding that
the Planning Department subscribed to the theory and that
the area had been so designated on the Comprehensive Plan
approximately seven or eight years ago . He stated he
felt the Commission should consider the history and
zoning of adjacent properties when considering the appli -
cation and requested that particular attention be given
to the fact that the only quadrant of the intersection
that doesn ' t have business , zoning is approximately 400
feet south of N. E . 4th St. on Union Avenue N . E . and
approximately 300 feet deep , which contains the Moritz
property . He stated that the applicant has furnished
him with information that seems to indicate that the
major rezoning on the other three quadrants of the sub-
ject intersection probably occurred since the Comprehen-
sive Plan was- drawn in . He then requested that considera-
tion be given to granting the B- 1 designation to keep
the southeast quadrant in conformance with the other
three . He indicated that minutes from prior hearings
relative to this matter noted that there has been no
objection from the •neighborhood or out of the neighbor-
hood to the request . He referred to the application of
Dennis R. Oster regarding the rezoning of his property
to the south from G to R-3 and stated that granting of
this request would provide a buffer between commercial
and single family use . In reference to the 68 foot R-3
zoned strip of property immediately north of the subject
site , Mr. Kleweno stated that it wastheir understanding
that when the service station was granted this zoning ,
it was put in as a " holding buffer zone . " In this regard
he referred the Commission to a copy of a contract of
sale for this property in which it was stated that there
was a promise from the purchaser who put in the service
station that the seller agrees to rezone of the strip to
B- 1 . The attorney said that a copy of• the sales agreement ,
which is dated July 24 , 1970 , would be provided . He noted
further that water and sewer facilities are available to
serve the property and urged favorable consideration of
the application .
The Chairman invited further input from the staff but none
was offered. Discussion of the request was then opened to
the Commission .
Concerns expressed involved the need for B- 1 zoning in the
area with Commissioner Gibson estimating that approximately
seventy-five percent of the property zoned' for business use
Renton Planning Commission
Meeting September 24 , 1975
Page Eight
between Union Ave . N . E . and Monroe Ave . N . E . was pre-
- sently developed . In reply to Commissioner Garrison ,
the Assistant Planning Director and Commissioner Tee-
garden indicated that they were unaware of the sales
document mentioned by Mr. Kleweno and that the prop-
erty immediately north of the site under discussion
was rezoned approximately three years ago as a part
of a total parcel . It was the Commission ' s decision
at that time that the southern part of the site
should be retained as R-3 as a transition from B- 1
use to single family development to the south .
There was further discussion regarding the merits of
"squaring off" of the area for commercial use and
the application of the Comprehensive Plan to the situ-
ation . Further comments were invited from the audi -
ence by the Chairman but none were received .
IT WAS THEN MOVED BY ROSS ,' SECONDED BY WALKER, THAT
THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED . MOTION CARRIED UNANI -
MOUSLY .
Discussion among the Commissioners ensued with respect
to the intersection not being symetrically zoned for
commercial use and that the Comprehensive Plan , while
being a flexible guide , designates the site for medium
density , multiple family development . It was noted
by Commissioner Ross that no objections had been
expressed by the audience or in written form. It was
also observed by Commissioner Mola that rezoning the
site as requested would result in " spot zoning . "
Commissioner Gibson indicated his feeling that the
area was appropriate for the B- 1 designation , and IT
WAS
ACTION:
MOVED BY GIBSON, SECONDED BY ROSS, THAT THE PLANNING
COMMISSION GRANT THE GARY MORITZ REZONE REQUEST FROM
G TO B-1 .
Commissioner Teegarden reminded the group of the
existing R-3 zoned property which lies between the
B- 1 zoned area at the intersection and the subject
site and indicated that it was his opinion that to
grant the request would be an illegal act .
On the question , a roll call vote was requested with
the following results :
GARRISON - AYE
GIBSON - AYE
MOLA - NO
ROSS - AYE
TEEGARDEN - NO
WIK - NO
WALKER - NO
MOTION FAILED.
Following a• brief discussion , IT WAS
ACTION:
MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY WIK, THAT THE GARY MORITZ
APPLICATION FOR REZONING OF HIS PROPERTY FROM G TO B-1 BE
DENIED.

On the question , a roll call vote was requested with the follow-
ing results :
GARRISON - AYE
GIBSON - NO
MOLA - NO
ROSS - NO
TEEGARDEN - AYE
WIK - AYE
WALKER - AYE
MOTION CARRIED.
A brief discussion followed regarding the possibility that the
action to deny may be appealed , and IT WAS
ACTION:
MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY MOLA, THAT THE PLANNING COMMIS-
SION RECOMMEND THAT THE HIGHEST LAND USE FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
BE NO GREATER THAN R-3 AS IT IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPREHEN-
SIVE PLAN.
The Assistant Planning Director advised that should the appli -
cant be agreeable at this time , the Planning Commission could
make a recommendation for an alternative zone which would be
of less intensity than that requested . Commissioner Teegarden
stated that in the past when an application has been denied
and followed by an appeal to the Council , the Council has not

REZONE:
C. DENNIS R. OSTER ; Appl . No . R-827-75 ; Rezone from G to
R-3 ; property located on the east side of Union Ave .
N . E . approx . 500 ' south of N . E . 4th St .
The rezone application was introduced by Acting Secretary
Mola and a staff presentation was invited by the Chairman .
Assistant Planner Smith noted the approximate . 7 acre G
zoned site just south of the Moritz site on the map and
advised that the Comprehensive Plan indicates the area as
medium density . Existing zoning in the vicinity was not
reviewed in view of the proximity of the property to the
Moritz site .
Comments were invited from the applicant by the Chairman .
Dennis R. Oster, 316 Union Ave . N . E . , Renton , applicant ,
stated that he is the owner of the property and currently
occupies it as a single family dwelling . Mr . Oster indi -
cated that he could speak for the community and that they
were in favor of the program put together by Mr. Moritz
and himself. It is his feeling that the people want
commercial development on his site and he indicated
it was his opinion that the east side of Union Ave . N . E .
south of N . E . 4th should all be B- 1 , inasmuch as there
are very few residents on the street . He noted that the
City has established a gravel storage area down the street
from his site and pointed out the location of the Prairie
Market across the street . He requested approval of his
R-3 zoning request .
Mr. Magstadt reported that the gravel storage yard des-
cribed is located in an area presently owned by the City
of Renton and was acquired for the purpose of construction
of a . water facility for that particular area . The prop-
erty has not been developed at this time and is presently
being used for storage of gravel by the Public Works
Department.
Chairman Scholes invited comment from the audience but
received no response . He then called for questions or
discussion from the Commission .
Responding to Commissioner Wik ' s inquiry regarding the
plans between the applicant and Mr. Moritz , Mr. Oster
indicated that they wished to construct an office build-
ing or parking area , which are needed by businesses in
the area ; and the neighbors preferred that type of develop-
ment to apartments or duplexes .
There was a brief discussion relative to the limits of
R-3 zoning , and IT WAS MOVED BY GIBSON , SECONDED BY
GARRISON , THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED . MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY .
ACTION:
MOVED BY GIBSON, SECONDED BY WALKER , THAT THE DENNIS R .
OSTER APPLICATION FOR REZONE FROM G TO R-3 BE GRANTED AS
IT IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
Discussion followed , and Commissioner Teegarden stated
that it was his opinion that , as in the Moritz ' applica-
tion , it would be preferable that the property be designated
Renton Planning Commission
Meeting September 24 , 1975
Page Eleven
as R-2 with -apartment and professional office development
allowed by special permit , as it would create a smoother
transition to the single family residential area . Commis-
sioner Mola concurred with this opinion .
Commissioners Ross and Garrison spoke in support of the
request , indicating that it is their belief that the area
will ultimately be developed more intensively.
On the question , a roll call vote was requested with the
following results :
GARRISON - AYE
GIBSON - AYE
MOLA - NO
ROSS - AYE
TEEGARDEN - NO

The request for approval of a final plat in the Kennydale
area was introduced by the Acting Secretary , and a staff
report was invited by Chairman Scholes .
The Assistant Planner described the 1 . 14 acre plat presently
zoned G-7200 . Subdivision of the property into five lots
ranging from approximately 7500 square feet to approximately
8200 square feet is in progress . Mr. Smith noted that the

requested adjustments to comply with City standards had been
made .
The Chairman invited comment from the applicant , but none
were offered . Discussion from the Commission followed .

PRELIMINARY PLAT - EXCEPTION
B. KENNYDALE FIRS ; Appl . PP-838-75 and E-839-75 ; applications
for preliminary plat approval and exception to Subdivision
Ordinance ; property located on N . E . 28th St . between Jones
Ave . N . E . and Aberdeen Ave . N . E .
Renton Planning Commission
Meeting September 24 , 1975
Page Twelve
The application for preliminary plat approval and exception
to the Subdivision Ordinance was introduced by Acting Sec-
retary Mola , and a staff report requested .
Assistant Planner Smith described the preliminary plat
proposed for the approximate three acre , G-7200 zoned
site , located in the Kennydale area adjacent to the King
County May Creek Park . He noted that proposed access is
via an unimproved 25 foot right-of-way known as N . E . 28th ,
which extends west from Aberdeen Ave . N . E . to Kennewick
P1 . N . E . along the south boundary of the site . Mr. Smith
displayed a blow-up map of the area and described exist-
ing rights-of-way in the vicinity .
The proposal is for a ten lot subdivision with lot sizes
ranging in size from 8900 square feet to 13, 000 square
feet to be developed in a cul -de-sac configuration and
serviced by a 50 foot right-of-way in accordance with
City standards . Mr. Smith indicated that some pipestem
lots were planned on the southwest corner of the property .
It is proposed to provide sewers and water from Kenne-
wick P1 . N . E . It was noted that the south half of the
property is designated as single family residential , and
the north half as greenbelt on the Comprehensive Plan .
Mr. Smith read the letter from the applicant requesting
exception to the Subdivision Ordinance and noted recom-
mendations made by the Traffic Engineer and Fire Depart-
ment with regard to access , which indicates that Traffic
Engineering has determined that the 25 foot right-of-way is
insufficient for the proposed ten-lot subdivision and has
recommended a minimum paved 22 foot roadway with adequate
pedestrian buffer areas on each side and that the Fire
Department noted that 25 feet is inadequate for their
equipment and recommended a minimum 40 foot right-of-way
and a hydrant at the end of the cul -de-sac . Mr. Smith
advised that the Commission may recommend approval of
the exception to the City Council , if it is their opinion
an undue hardship may be created . The Commission was
informed that the Utilities Engineering Division of the
Public Works Department indicated no objections with
regard to sanitary sewers .
Slides and aerial photographs of the area were viewed
and described by the Assistant Planner, who noted
natural characteristics of the site and essentially
single family land use in the vicinity .
Responding to Commissioner Gibson , Mr. Smith stated that
the creek in the vicinity of N . E . 28th does not meet the
• flow requirements of the Shoreline Management Act and ,
therefore , those requirements do not apply . Further
questions were invited by the staff, but none were
received .
The Chairman then invited comment from the applicant .
Eben L . Munson , one of the owners of the property purchased
in 1966 , noted that their engineer was unable to be present.
He described problems encountered with regard to obtaining
access and stated that at one time they had availability
to other access but that due to a series of circumstances
it had been cut off, and it was necessary to use N . E . 28th
or to relocate the cul -de-sac and come out on Aberdeen .
The County , railroad , and former owner or Lot 51 were
involved in these transactions . It was pointed out by
the Assistant Planner that when the area was annexed into
Renton Planning Commission
Meeting September 24 , 1975
Page Thirteen
the City residents retained certain rights through the grand-
father clause . "Therefore , property owners could build on lots
platted in the County before annexation that fronted on
rights-of-way less than 50 feet. Mr . Munson responded that at
the time of purchase of the property , some of the houses to
the south were not in existence . He stated further that the
topography will not allow access to the west .
Questions of Mr. Munson followed with regard to possible
acquisition of property to the west or northwest , who indi -
cated that a house is in existence in the area desired but
was advised by the audience that it had burned down .
Comments were invited from the audience .
Max Pangburn , 2016 N . E . 28th , stated that he had owned his
property for almost 26 years and sold most of the railroad
right-of-way to King County . He brought the Commission ' s
attention to the fact that there is a "for sale" sign at
the intersection of N . E . 28th and N . E . 27th , which is where
the sewer and road will come in . He suggest ed that the
cul -de-sac be rearranged and access relocated in order to
alleviate the traffic problem that would be created on the
25 foot roadway. Describing the area as beautiful with large
trees throughout and consisting of oversized lots , Mr. Pang-
burn objected to the placement of ten houses on the site .
Due to ecological and congestion problems , he stated he
felt it was appropriate to construct only two or three houses
on the site ; and he suggested that the other access be
explored . He noted that the area was annexed into the City
about 1958.
Gary Tischer, 2009 N . E . 28th , advised that there are several
problems and noted that the road does not go through all the
way , as it has grown over and that there would be severe
difficulties in the winter due to the presence of a hill .
He also cited congestion problems that would be created .
James Spencer, 2733 Aberdeen , noted large trees in the 25
foot right-of-way which makes the area very park-like . He
stated that all roads in the area are narrower than indi -
cated and inadequate . He stated he felt that additional
access west of the Munson property should be looked into , as
there are property owners who are interested in selling
property to accommodate the recommended widths by the
Traffic Engineer and Fire Department .
Dwight Lilly , 2221 N . E . 28th , stated that he moved into the
area because of the park- like setting and preferred that the
neighborhood retain this character . He expressed concern
regarding the loss of value to his property if the proposal
is approved . He noted the uniqueness of the area within
the City of Renton .
Eleanore Pangborn , 2016 N . E . 28th , noted that wildlife is
frequently seen in the area and stated she felt the proposed
development would change that .
It was noted that approximately 25 people were present in
the audience from the area . Commissioner Teegarden stated
that in view of the late hour and large opposition , he
recommended referral of the item to a committee for study
and work with the applicant and residents of the neighbor-
hood . He asked that the staff investigate the availability
of the property on the corner of N . E . 27th and N . E . 28th
that was indicated as being for sale as it might offer a
solution .

be able to attend the October meeting and was advised
by the Chairman that a petition would receive considera-
tion by the Commission and Council .

APPLICATION : Rezone (continued from, July 23 , 1975
public hearing )
APPLICANT : Gary Moritz ,
REQUEST : Rezone from G to B-1
COMMENTS : 1 . The item was continued to the
September public hearing by request
of the applicant.
2 . The Planning Department has contacted
Mr . Moritz for any additional input
to explain a rationale for rezoning
the subject property and has received
no further information .
3 . The application is not in conformance
with the comprehensive plan . The com-
prehensive plan indicates medium
density multiple family .
4 . The Commission , when previously con-
sidering rezones on property further
north toward N . E . 4th Street , estab-
lished the southern boundary of the
business zoning for this area . This
was accomplished by granting R-3
zoning directly north of the subject
property .
5 . The King County Comprehensive plan
designates the area for single family
residential use . The nearest poten-
tial business zoning in the county is
near the corner of N . E . 4th Street
and 138th Avenue N . E .

SECTIONS OF THE SECTION 4-711 ; 4-725 ; 4-728 ; 4-729 ;
ZONING CODE : 4-14-1 ; 4-1405
REQUEST Applicant requests rezone from G to B- 1
COMMENTS : 1 . This application to rezone from G to B-1
is not in conformance with the comprehensive
plan . Mr . Moritz was notified of this
fact at the time he submitted his applica-
tion and again in letter on May 27 , 1975 .
2 . The property to the immediate north is
zoned R-3 . The property to the immediate
south and east are zoned G and the property
to the west of the site in question
across Union Avenue N . E . is zoned B-4 .
3 . There is an extensive amount of business
zoning in the general area that is not
yet developed .
4. All county zoning within 1/4 mile of the site
in question is S-R (suburban residential ) .
The county comprehensive plan indicates that
the property contained in the S-R zone is
• now at its best and highest use and that
the zoning in these areas will not change
in the future .
5 . Rezoning this property would create a
business island in a residential area .
6 . Union Avenue N . E . and N . E . 4th Street are
on the 1974 Arterial Street Plan , but neither
street is in the six year street plan .
7 . The site is sloped from west to east with
the slope increasing towards the east
property line . There is an intermittent
creek to the east of this property but it
is not contained within the property lines .
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION : Recommend continuance for further study
until September public hearing as per
applicants request.

REQUEST : Applicant requests rezone from G to B-1.
COMMENTS : 1 . Application is not in conformance with
the Comprehensive Plan . The Compre-
hensive Plan indicates medium density
multiple-family residential use for
for this property.
2 . The property to the immediate north is
zoned R-3 . The property to the immediate
south and east is presently zoned G , and
the westerly boundary of the property is
bordered by Union Avenue N . E .
3 . Rezoning this property would create a
business island in a residential area .
4 . The site slopes gently from west to
east with an increase in slope towards
the east property line . An intermittent
creek is located east of the property in
question and is not within the property
boundary lines .
STAFF
RECOMMENDATIONS : Recommend denial of the rezone request since
the application is not in conformance with
the Comprehensive Plan , and the granting of
this rezone request would create a commercial
zone that would be surrounded by residential
uses .

PRESENT: Tony Mola , Chairman

A number of interested citizens were also present.
ITEM 1 GARY MORITZ , Rezone #R-821-75
Discussion
Mr . Smith gave a general overview of the request
and described the general area on the map . •
•
He also reviewed the King County comprehensive plan
for the area ( single family residential )
He indicated the amount and location of existing
-B-1- zoning in the -area and then showed the areas
which are presently undeveloped within this
category.
Mr . Mola stated that a stepping down in density to
the single family residence area to the south would
be more compatible with existing and future uses
in the area . He also felt that because of the
existing R-3 zone between the subject property and
the existing business zoning to the north , approval
of the B-1 zoning request would be equivalent to
spot zoning .
Environmental Development Committee
July 23, 1975
Page Two
Other committee members questioned the need
for more business zoning in the area at this
time .
Mr . Moritz made his presentation in favor of his
request noting existing business zoning in the
area . He indicated that the property cannot
be properly developed under its existing
classification . When asked if he had a specific
development proposed that the committee could
review , he said he did not.
ACTION The committee voted to continue the application
for further information and justification from
the applicant.
ITEM 2 DENNIS OSTER Rezone #R-827-75
Mr. Smith gave a brief overview of the proposal and
the area in which it is located .
Mr. Mola stated that R-2 zoning may be more appro-
priate at this time because it would be more com-
patibile to the single family uses directly adjacent
to the subject site a-nd act as a buffer between
the single family area and anticipated multi family
area to the north .
Mr. Oster made his presentation stating that R-3
was appropriate and that the property could not be
reasonably developed in a lesser intensity zoning .
The matter of public use of the undeveloped eastern
portion of the property led Mr. Lynn Spech , the
minister, to indicate the chruch ' s willingness to
allow public type uses of the property if it does
not hinder their exemption status .
The related traffic problems in the area were dis-
cussed with complaints issued by Mrs . Gist an4 Mr.
Noble , who reside in the area . They _comp_lai about
general traffic as well as church traffic problems .
Mrs . Gist also felt that single family residence
usage of the property would be less detrimental than
the proposed use in terms of visual quality and traffic
impacts .

Mr. Magstadt pointed out the location of the 3 . 79 acre
G-7200 zoned site overlooking Lake Washington in the
Kennydale area on the vicinity map . He reported that an
existing single-family residence is to be removed and
the property subdivided into sixteen single family
residential lots ranging in size from 7600 square feet

from North 38th Street ; access from Park Avenue North
is limited to two lots . The rear lots would have
access from separate roads that front North 38th Street .

missioner Gibson , that the owner could combine the
two rights-of-way for a total of forty feet .

tion of natural vegetation . It was noted that some
of the sites have a view of Lake Washington .
Comment was invited from the applicant by the Chairman .
Lyle L. Pickle , 1150 Union Avenue , Renton , stated that

lem.

Discussion ensued with Commissioner Gibson inquiring with
regard to the Comprehensive Plan designations being unequal
in depth on Union Avenue N . E . south of N . E . 4th Street .
The Planning Director described the reasoning of the Plan-
ning Commission at the time of the Comprehensive Plan rec-
ommendations .
The Chairman asked for comment from the applicant .
Gary Moritz , 2525 N . E. 24th , Renton , stated that it was his
opinion that since the property across the street to the
west was zoned for business usage , his request seemed appro-
priate . He noted that the Dennis Oster site to the south pre-
sently zoned G is the last piece of property within the City
limits and inquired if the property to the south , located
in the County , was not zoned as R-3. He also inquired re-
garding the King County Comprehensive Plan designation for
the . area . Mr. Magstad replied that the King "County Planning
Department had been contacted on June 24th and had advised
that the property to the south is presently zoned SR, which
is single family residential . The Assistant Planning Direc-
tor stated that he could not comment regarding the County ' s
Comprehensive Plan designation .
The Chairman invited comment from the audience but received
no response . Discussion was then opened to the Commission .
Discussion ensued with regard to the appropriateness of
the City ' s Comprehensive Plan designation , reasons for just-
ifying a rezone request, availability of sewers , and the
flexibility of the use lines on the Comprehensive Plan .
Commissioner Teegarden stated that Commission recommendations
are not always concurred in by the Council . He also stated
that the property to the north of the subject site was zoned
R-3 as a part of a larger site to provide a transition be-
tween business and single family use to the south . In
response to Commissioner Garrison ' s inquiry regarding the
availability of plans for the site , the Planning Director
advised that none had been submitted , and he understood
that there were no immediate plans for its use . It was
noted that the Comprehensive Plan in the Highlands area
will be reviewed next by the Community Development Commit-
tee and that the County ' s Comprehensive Plan for adjacent
areas should be considered in the. decision .
ACTION:
MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY RIVILY, THAT THE PLANNING
COMMISSION MOVE TO CONTINUE THE MATTER AND REFER THE SUBJECT
TO TH.E ENVIRONMENTAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE FOR STUDY AND
REPORT BACK AT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON JULY 23RD.
Further discussion followed with the request that the King
County Comprehensive Plan for development be investigated
and a suggestion that Mr. Moritz should present some type
of proposal for the site ' s use .
On the question , MOTION CARRIED.

ment of the site .
SPECIAL PERMIT:
D, JOHN C. EDWARDS ; Appi . No . SP-752-74 ; special permit for
existing gravel and sand excavating operation in S- 1 zone ;
property located at 2930 S . E . 5th St .
It was noted that 90 acres of the existing gravel pit are loca-
ted within the City of Renton . Its locale off the Maple Valley
Highway and north and west of the Maplewood area was pointed
out by Mr. Smith . The request for review is pursuant to the
Mining , Excavation and Grading Ordinance . Existing zoning is
S- 1 . While the present use is a gravel pit , it is proposed
to ultimately develop the area for various residential uses ,
combined with greenbelt and recreational areas . The Compre-
hensive Plan for the property indicates a combination of
single family residential ; low, medium and high density multi -
family , recreational and greenbelt uses . It was noted that
the property is about 1350 feet in depth within the City ;
topographical and natural characteristics of the site were
described. The proposed excavation plan and provisions for
drainage were noted . There is no operation at this time .
The Planning Director noted items to be considered will
involve processing of the plan , the long-range process and
rehabilitation of the site . Mr. Smith noted that the reuse
plan submitted indicates plans for a commercial shopping cen-
ter facility which is not in agreement with the Comprehensive
Plan .
Renton Planning Commission
Meeting June 11 , 1975
Page Nine
Robert Boyd , Property Manager of the Burlington Northern ,
Glacier Park Company , stated that the new plan involving
"deferred development" did not change their position .
They continue to ask for some heavy industrial zoning,
and their offer to donate 20 acres for greenbelt remains .
Responding to Commissioner Teegarden ' s inquiry , Mr . Boyd
stated that after study of the Zoning Ordinance with re-
gard to M-P zoning , it was still their position that the
designation did not satisfy the things they wanted to do .
Vice-chairman Scholes reminded representatives of Burling-
ton Northern and Milwaukee Railroad that a great deal of
their land is zoned G, and there is no intent of the
Commission to affect the rezone of the property either
up or down , noting that it may be developed to the fullest
extent allowable in the G zone .
Further discussion continued with respect to the issue
of the method of acquisition of land for greenbelt areas ,
and it was noted by Commissioner Gibson that land devel -
opment should be made on a cooperative basis . A sug-
gestion that the issue be placed on the ballot was made
by Commissioner Rivily . Leonard Steiner spoke in support
of citizen ' s rights regarding the use of property and
noted avenues for preserving land as "open space , " if
the property owner wants to take advantage of it .
Kay Johnson , Secretary of the Renton Chamber of Commerce ,
noting the intent to continue the public hearing for two
weeks , stated that he preferred to provide his input in
writing .
Following further discussion regarding the need for fur-
ther study of recent input , possible revision of the
Environmental Impact Statement and desire for a decision
as soon as possible , IT WAS
ACTION:
MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY GIBSON, THAT THE PUBLIC
HEARING BE CONTINUED UNTIL JUNE 25, 1975, AND THAT A
COMMITTEE-OF-THE-WHOLE MEETING BE HELD ON JUNE 18, 1975,
TO DISCUSS THE MATTER . MOTION CARRIED, WIK DISSENTING.

received by the Department would be forwarded to the
Planning Commission . Vice-chairman Scholes announced
that the June 18th committee meeting would be an open
meeting .
The Vice-chairman declared a recess at 11 : 45 p . m. The meet-
ing was resumed at 11 : 55 p . m. with all members noted above
as being present in attendance .

RE : Proposed Rezone from G to B- 1
Dear Mr . Moritz :
•
• We are in receipt of your application for rezone
and as we stated at our meeting on May 13 , 1975 , your
proposal is in direct conflict with the City ' s Compre-
hensive Plan for that area . The Comprehensive Plan-
indicates medium to low density multiple family future
use in this area . Any proposal for rezoning would also
be studied as to whether or not it would be premature
in the particular area at this time .
Due to the basic incompatibility with the Compre-
hensive Plan and the established pattern of R-3 zoning
between your property and the existing B-1 zoning at
the corner of Union Avenue N . E . and N . E . 4th Street , it
is our feeling that there is very little chance of your
• request for B-1 zoning being approved . As stated
previously a more logical request might be R-2 , although
that too would be studied on its own merits .
•
If you have any further questions please contact
this Department ,
Very truly yours ,
Michael L . Smith

COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMITTEE REPORT
NOVEMBER 24 , 1975
SUBJECT: GARY MORITZ REZONE, R-821-75 ; G to B-1
The Community Services Committee recommends that the
appeal by Mr. Moritz be approved and the rezone be
granted as it agrees with the Comprehensive Plan and
would not be detrimental to the surrounding area.
It was felt that the rezone was in conformance with
the Comprehensive Plan for the area because a portion
of the property is designated commercial on the Plan,
which is a general guide for future land use in the
area.
The property owner to the north plans to rezone his
R-3 property to B-1 , therefore eliminating the problem
of creating an island or "spot zone" of B-1 property.

11/10/75 to B-1 , thus eliminating problem of creating a spot zone of B-1

to explain the map of the area. Planning Director Ericksen explained
that this rezone was in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan,
"G" zoning being a holding zoning, other businesses in the same
area and pointed out the areas concerned on the map. Councilman
Stredicke pointed out the problems the City has had in the past
zoning R-3 next to a single family residential area without a
proper buffering zone. Considerable discussion ensued and audience
comment was requested. Mr. Dennis Oster, 316 Union Ave. N.E. ,
remarked that immediately south of N.E. 4th Street there were two
gas stations, a Prairie Market and a gravel storage and separation
area with trucks servicing it. He read a petition from the nearest
property owners to the rezone request of Mr. Moritz and himself,
which stated that they would rather see these properties developed
as business rather than apartments or duplexes and was signed by
three County residents on 132nd Ave. S.E. Councilman Perry reported
the Community Services Committee also had a report on the Oster
rezone and since the Council had been speaking of the whole area,
it could be read now or held until Committee reports. The

of County Rd. 80 the vacation of County Road 80 (S. 3rd St. Ext. ) requested by

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been published
Saturday Street and posted, Mayor Garrett opened the Public Hearing for citizen
Market or "Flea" input on a Saturday Street Market. Mrs. Myrtle Clymer, 505 Windsor
Market Place N.E. , reported that she had contacted Eugene, Oregon which
has a very successful Saturday Morning Market with around 200
vendors displaying and selling their wares every Saturday morning
from May to Christmas and had had as many as 6,000 people at their
market on Saturdays, noting need for people of the community to
get to know one another. She said that Eugene had had inquiries
regarding their street market from all over the world and had
printed brochures on their operation which she quoted from and
gave to the City Clerk for distribution to the Council . Council-
man Schellert said he had had occasion to attend the flea market
in San Jose and that it served as recreation for the community to
go to the market and meet their friends; said he would like to
hear comments from the Police Department on such an operation in
Renton. Captain Phelan replied that it had not been discussed in
the Police Department. Councilman Stredicke noted that there would
have to be clear definition of how the market should operate, the
Kent Market limited to home-grown produce and home-made articles
for sale, also where it is going to be located and who was going
to be responsible to run it every week. Councilman Perry inquired
if there was anyone interested in operating or assuming the responsi-
bility and also publicize that maybe the City Parking Lot be used
for the market. Mrs. Clymer replied that she would volunteer to
sponsor the market and if the Council would pay the $5.00 fee, she
could obtain a film to show operations of this type of market.
Commenting that he would like to have comments from the Police Dept. ,
motion proposed by Schellert that the hearing be continued. Some
further discussion ensued, Councilman Stredicke remarking that they
should be able to get a report from the Association of Washington
Cities as there were a number of this type of markets in the state.

Re: Gary Moritz Re-Zone Application
Appl. No. R 821-75 , Rezone from G to B-1
Gentlemen:
I am the adjacent land owner of Mr. Moritz , owning property
directly to the north of his . My property is the 63 foot
strip running along Union Avenue and is currently zoned
multi-family.
I strongly believe that this particular zoning is inappropriate
for both properties and intend in the future to apply for a
re-zone to business for my own property. It is economically
unfeasible for me to develop my strip of land as any kind
of apartment development.
I heartily support Mr. Moritz ' s efforts to have his property
zoned for business since a business zone is much more compatible
with economic practicalities of the situation and my own plans
for the future.
Thank you for the time you have given to me . 0
Yours very trruly,le7.4e›./Zei4up

FROM : Gordon Y . Ericksen , Planning Director
RE : GARY MORITZ APPEAL PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION
The Council will be conducting a public hearing regarding
the above noted matter Monday, November 10th . The property
in question is located adjacent to the Dennis R. Oster
property ( request for rezone from G to R-3 ) .
The Planning Commission recommendation regarding the Oster
request was referred to the Community Services Committee
on October 6 for study and recommendation .
In view of the fact that both properties are directly
adjacent to each other and located in the same vicinity ,
simultaneous review of both items by the Committee might
be desirable in order that any decision made be consistent
with Council policy.

Gary Moritz ,tz , Application for Rezone from -., ees;� ! ; '

Gentlemen :
The request of Gary Moritz to rezone property from G to
B-1 - was initially reviewed by the Planning Commission at its
public hearing of June 25 , 1975 . At that time the matter
was referred to a committee of the Planning Commission for
study and report back at the public hearing meeting of
July 23rd . Subsequently, Mr. Moritz requested an extension
of the hearing to the September meeting in order that he
might have an opportunity to prepare additional information
to support his request .
The second public hearing was held September 24 , 1975 .
At such time the Planning Commission denied Mr. Moritz '
request. Some of the basic reasons for such action are de-
fined by the concerns expressed by Commission members not
only during the course of the public hearings but also in
the staff letter to Mr . Moritz of May 27th , the staff report
of June 25th , and the Environmental Development Committee
report of. July 23rd.,
It was the determination of the Planning Commission
that the rezone request would be incompatible with the
existing Comprehensive Plan in that the plan indicates
medium density multiple-family residential 'for the area
in question . Further , that the area is presently surrounded
by land which is either undeveloped or single family resi -
dential . The area immediately to the north is presently
zoned R-3 , while the remaining areas on the east and south
sides of the property are zoned G .
The Honorable Avery Garrett , Mayor
Members of the City Council
November 6 , 1975

The need for additional commercial zoning in this area
was also reviewed and by action of the Commission the neces-
sity for additional commercial zoning was not justified .
As you are aware , the Planning Commission has initiated
review of the Comprehensive Plan as it relates to the High-
lands area . Such review is presently under way including
study of the specific area in question . The need for addi -
tional commercial and multiple residential uses will be
reviewed in detail in view of the Planning Commission making
recommended changes to the Comprehensive Plan at a future
date .

Mr . Gary Moritz
2525 N . E . 24th Street •
Renton , Washington 98055
RE : Proposed Rezone from G to B-1
Dear Mr . Moritz :
•
We are in receipt of your application for rezone
and as• we stated at our meeting on May 13 , 1975 , your
proposal is in direct conflict with the City ' s Compre-
hensive Plan for that area . The Comprehensive Plan
indicates medium to low density multiple family future
use in this area . Any proposal for rezoning would also
be studied as to whether or not it would be premature
in the particular area at this time .
Due to the basic incompatibility with the Compre-
hensive Plan and the established pattern of R-3 zoning
between your property and the existing B-1 zoning at
the corner of Union Avenue N . E . and N . E . 4th Street , it
is our feeling that there is very little chance of your
request for B-1 zoning being approved . As stated
previously a more logical request might be R-2 , although
that too would be studied on its own merits .
If you have any further questions please contact
this Department .
Very truly yours ,
Michael L . Smith
Assistant Planner

STAFF REPORT •
JUNE 25 , 1975
APPLICATION : • REZONE
APPLICANT : GARY MORITZ
LOCATION : Property is located on the east side of
Onion Avenue N . E . approximately 400 feet
south of N . E . 4th Street .
ZONING : G
APPLICABLE
SECTIONS OF THE SECTION 4-711 ; 4-725 ; 4-728 ; 4-729 ;
ZONING CODE : 4-1401 ; 4-1405
REQUEST : Applicant requests rezone from G to B-1.
COMMENTS : 1 . Application is not in conformance with
the Comprehensive Plan . The Compre-
hensive Plan indicates medium density
multiple-family residential use for
for this property.
2 . The property to the immediate north is
zoned R-3 . The property to the immediate
south and east is presently zoned G , and
the westerly boundary of the property is
bordered by Union Avenue N . E .
3 . Rezoning this property would create a
business island in a residential area .
4 . The site slopes gently from west to
east with an increase in slope towards
the east property line . An intermittent
creek is located east of the property in
question and is not within the property
boundary lines .
STAFF
RECOMMENDATIONS : Recommend denial of the rezone request since
the application is not in conformance with
the Comprehensive Plan , and the granting of
, this rezone request would create a commercial
zone that would be surrounded by residential
uses .

MO ED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY WIK, THAT THE PLANNING COMMIS-
SIO CONCUR IN THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE SPECIAL STUDIES COM-
MITT DATED SEPTEMBER 22 , 1975, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THE
APPLICANT BE GIVEN THE OPTION OF SOME OTHER FORM OF SCREENING
ALONG T.iE NORTH, SOUTH, AND WEST SIDES OF THE PROPERTY FOR /
CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT STORAGE IN LIEU OF A BERM SUCH AS AN
OPAQUE SEEN TO BE APPROVED BY THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
Discussion ensued with Commissioner Mola inquiring regarding
appeal procedures , should the motion be passed , and the
possibility of',. acquisition of the property by federal and
state agencies .\\ Commissioner Wik , noting that the'sCompre-
hensive Plan pro'p,osal for the Green River Valley/is presently
being studied by the City Council ' s Community Services Com-
mittee , expressed the opinion that the City should be given
the opportunity to a'ct regarding the property. With regard
to the length of study.,, involving the appl i c-ation , it was
noted that the Final Environmental Impact/Statement was dated
July 18 , 1975 , which was'••.. received too late for the July public
hearing and that the Plarining Commissip'n does not conduct
hearings during August . Commissioner/Gibson , Chairman of
the Special Studies Committee , indicated that the group had
studied the EIS thoroughly during t'he month of August , and
he believed they had acted in \an expeditious manner.
On the question , a roll call vote was requested with the
following results : \

Mr . Austin 9'Ipressed his apology for the impres,sion he made
that any member of the Planning Commission was 'doing anything
dishonest/and indicated that it was his feeling that a fact-
finding board should wait to hear everything before making a
decisi n .
A rece was declared by the Chairman at 9 : 30 p . m . The meeting was
resu d at 9 : 45 p . m. with all members noted above in attendance .
REZONE:
B, GARY MORITZ ; Appl . No . R-821-75 ; Rezone from G to B- 1 ;
property located on the E . side of Union Ave . N . E . approx .
400 ' south of N . E . 4th St .
Acting Secretary Mola introduced the rezone application . A
staff presentation was invited by the Chairman .
Noting that the review of the application had been continued
from the July public hearing at the request of Mr. Moritz ,
Assistant Planner Smith pointed out the G zoned . 67 acre site
located on the east side of Union Ave . N . E . just south of
N . E . 4th St . Mr . Smith then reviewed a blow-up map which
indicated both Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations in
the vicinity . He indicated that the Comprehensive Plan shows
business zoning to approximately 400 feet south of N . E . 4th St .
and touches about 20 feet on the northwest end of the property .

Surrounding zoning was noted as R-3 , medium density , multi -
family to the north ; G, single family residential to the
east ; and B- 1 , commercial , to the west across the street .
Mr. Smith stated that B- 1 zoning extends towards the north
on Union Ave . N . E . beyond the intersection with N . E . 4th
St . King County has been contacted relative to the appli -
cation of their Comprehensive Plan in the vicinity and
noted it designates potential business zoning near the
corner of N . E . 4th St . and 138th Ave . N . E . Areas near
the subject property are presently zoned S-R ( single
family residential ) . The general character of the
neighborhood was also described .
Comment was invited from the applicant .
Melvin Kleweno , 213 S . 4th , Kent , attorney representing
Mr . Moritz , noted that the City ' s Comprehensive Plan
indicates the four corners at the intersection of N . E .
4th St . and Union Ave . N . E . for commercial use . He
discussed the philosophy of cluster zoning versus strip
zoning and indicated that it was his understanding that
the Planning Department subscribed to the theory and that
the area had been so designated on the Comprehensive Plan
approximately seven or eight years ago . He stated he
felt the Commission should consider the history and
zoning of adjacent properties when considering the appli -
cation and requested that particular attention be given
to the fact that the only quadrant of the intersection
that doesn ' t have business zoning is approximately 400
feet south of N . E . 4th St . on Union Avenue N . E . .and
approximately 300 feet deep , which contains the Moritz
property . He stated that the applicant has furnished
him with information that seems to indicate that the
major rezoning on the other three quadrants of the sub-
ject intersection probably occurred since the Comprehen-
sive Plan was drawn in . He then requested that considera-
tion be given to granting the B- 1 designation to keep
the southeast quadrant in conformance with the other
three . He indicated that minutes from prior hearings
relative to this matter noted that there has been no
objection from the neighborhood or out of the neighbor-
hood to the request . He referred to the application of
Dennis R . Oster regarding the rezoning of his property
to the south from G to R-3 and stated that granting of
this request would provide a buffer between commercial
and single family use . In reference to the 68 foot R-3
zoned strip of. property immediately north of the subject
site , Mr. Kleweno stated that it was their understanding
that when the service station was granted this zoning ,
it was put in as a " holding buffer zone . " In this regard
he referred the Commission to a copy of a contract of
sale for this property in which it was stated that there
was a promise from the purchaser who put in the service
station that the seller agrees to rezone of the strip to
B- 1 . The attorney said that a copy of the sales agreement ,
which is dated July 24 , 1970 , would be provided . He noted
further that water and sewer facilities are available to
serve the property and urged favorable consideration of
the application .
The Chairman invited further input from the staff but none
was offered . Discussion of the request was then opened to
the Commission .
Concerns expressed involved the need for B- 1 zoning in the
area with Commissioner Gibson estimating that approximately
seventy-five percent of the property zoned' for business use
Renton Planning Commission
Meeting September 24 , 1975
Page Eight
• between Union Ave . N . E . and Monroe Ave . N . E . was pre-
sently developed . In reply to Commissioner Garrison ,
the Assistant Planning Director and Commissioner Tee-
garden indicated that they were unaware of the sales
document mentioned by Mr . Kleweno and that the prop-
' erty immediately north of the site under discussion
was rezoned approximately three years ago as a part
of a total parcel . It was the Commission ' s decision
at that time that the southern part of the site
should be retained as R-3 as a transition from B- 1
use to single family development to the south .
There was further discussion regarding the merits of i
" squaring off" of the area for commercial use and
the application of the Comprehensive Plan to the situ-
• ation . Further comments were invited from the audi -
ence by the Chairman but none were received . j
IT WAS THEN MOVED BY ROSS , SECONDED BY WALKER , THAT
THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED . MOTION CARRIED UNANI -
MOUSLY .
Discussion among the Commissioners ensued with respect
to the intersection not being symetrically zoned for
commercial use and that the Comprehensive Plan , while
being a flexible guide , designates the site for medium
density , multiple family development . It was noted
by Commissioner Ross that no objections had been
expressed by the audience or in written form . It was
also observed by Commissioner Mola that rezoning the
site as requested would result in " spot zoning . "
Commissioner Gibson indicated his feeling that the
area was appropriate for the B- 1 designation , and IT
WAS
ACTION:
MOVED BY GIBSON, SECONDED BY ROSS, THAT THE PLANNING
COMMISSION GRANT THE GARY MORITZ REZONE REQUEST FROM
G TO B-1 .
Commissioner Teegarden reminded the group of the
existing R-3 zoned property which lies between the

2 . The Planning Department has contacted
Mr . Moritz for any additional input
to explain a rationale for rezoning
the subject property and has received
no further information .

was accomplished by granting R-3
zoning directly north of the subject
property .

SECTIONS OF THE SECTION 4-711 ; 4-725 ; 4-728 ; 4-729 ;
ZONING CODE : 4-14-1 ; 4-1405
REQUEST Applicant requests rezone from G to B- 1
COMMENTS : 1 . This application to rezone from G to B-1
is not in conformance with the comprehensive
plan . Mr . Moritz was notified of this
fact at the time he submitted his applica-
tion and again in letter on May 27 , 1975 .
2 . The property to the immediate north is
zoned R-3 . The property to the immediate
south and east are zoned G and the property
to the west of the site in question
across Union Avenue N . E . is zoned B-4 .
3 . There is an extensive amount of business
zoning in the general area that is not
yet developed .
4 . All county zoning within 1/4 mile of the site
• in question is S-R ( suburban residential ) .
The county comprehensive plan indicates that
the property contained in the S-R zone is
now at its best and highest use and that
the zoning in these areas will not change
in the future .
5 . Rezoning this property would create a
business island in a residential area .
6 . Union Avenue N . E . and N . E . 4th Street are
on the 1974 Arterial Street Plan , but neither
street is in the six year street plan .
7 . The site is sloped from west to east with

property line . There is an intermittent
creek to the east of this property but it
is not contained within the property lines .

PRESENT: Tony Mola , Chairman

Art Scholes
STAFF : Gordon Y . Ericksen , Planning Director
Michael Smith , Assistant Planner
A number of interested citizens were also present.
to* ITEM 1 GARY MORITZ , Rezone #R-821-75
Discussion
Mr . Smith gave a general overview of the request
and described the general area on the map . •
He also reviewed the King County comprehensive plan
for the area ( single family residential )
He indicated the amount and location of existing
B-1 zoning in the area and then showed the areas
which are presently undeveloped within this
category .
Mr . Mola stated that a stepping down in density to
, ' 'the single family residence area to the south would
be more compatible with existing and future uses
in the area . He also felt that because of the
existing R-3 zone between the subject property and
the existing business zoning to the north , approval
of the B-1 zoning request would be equivalent to
spot zoning,
Environmental Development Committee
July 23 , 1975

Other committee members questioned the need
for more business zoning in the area at this
time .
Mr . Moritz made his presentation in favor of his
request noting existing business zoning in the
area . He indicated that the property cannot
be properly developed under its existing
classification . When asked if he had a specific
development proposed that the committee could
review , he said he did not .
ACTION The committee voted to continue the a • . lication
for further information and justification from
the applicant.
ITEM 2 DENNIS OSTER Rezone #R-827-75
Mr . Smith gave a brief overview of the proposal and
the area in which it is located .
Mr . Mola stated that R-2 zoning may be more appro-
priate at this time because it would be more com-
patibile to the single family uses directly adjacent
to the subject site and act as a buffer between
the single family area and anticipated multi family
area to the north .
Mr . Oster made his presentation stating that R-3
was appropriate and that the property could not be
reasonably developed in a lesser intensity zoning .
It was mentioned that alternative single family
development may cause more visual and traffic
impacts than the proposed development . However ,
the committee and staff indicated they would
ask that the traffic engineer comment on these
questions and the six year street program for
the area .
He was then informed of the possible allowable
uses in each zone . It was pointed out that some
of the possibilities he anticipated may be allowed
in an R-2 zone .
ACTION The committee voted to recommend R-2 zonin for
this site , feeling t at the R-3 zoning was not
appropriate for the area at this time .

Meeting June 25 , 1975

Mr. Magstadt pointed out the location of the 3 . 79 acre
G-7200 zoned site overlooking Lake Washington in the
Kennydale area on the vicinity map . He reported that an
existing single-family residence is to be removed and
the property subdivided into sixteen single family
residential lots ranging in size from 7600 square feet
to 25 ,000 square feet . Primary access to the site is
from North 38th Street ; access from Park Avenue North
is limited to two lots . The rear lots would have
access from separate roads that front North 38th Street .
City sewers are available .
In reply to Commissioner Teegarden ' s inquiry regarding
the width of the stem of the pipe to the pipestem lots ,
the Assistant Planning Director indicated that they
are twenty feet wide private driveways which run with
the property . He also indicated , in response to Com-
missioner Gibson , that the owner could combine the
two rights-of-way for a total of forty feet .
•
Discussion followed with respect to possible preserva-
tion of natural vegetation . It was noted that some
of the sites have a view of Lake Washington .
Comment was invited from the applicant by the Chairman .
Lyle L. Pickle , 1150 Union Avenue , Renton , stated that
it was his intention to subdivide the property for a
custom home development . He noted that while some of
the trees would be desirable for preservation , he felt
potential buyers may wish to choose between them or
the Lake Washington view. He stated that he would be
glad to work with the Planning Commission on the prob-
lem.
Chairman Ross invited comment from the audience but
received no response . IT WAS THEN MOVED BY TEEGARDEN ,
SECONDED BY WIK , THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED .
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY .
ACTION:
MOVED BY WIK, SECONDED BY MOLA , THAT THE PLANNING
COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT

The rezone application was introduced by Secretary
Gibson , and a staff presentation requested .
The Assistant Planning Director pointed out the location
of a . 67 acre undeveloped site , zoned G , situated in the
Highlands area approximately 400 feet south of N . E . 4th
Street on the east side of Union Avenue N . E . Mr. Mag-
stadt noted significant development in the area for the
orientation of the Commission . Surrounding zoning was
noted--R-3 to the north , G to the east and south and
commercial to the west . It was also indicated that
the Comprehensive Plan designates the 100 ' x 274 ' site
for medium density multiple family development . Slides
of the area were viewed .

Discussion ensued with Commissioner Gibson inquiring with
regard to the Comprehensive Plan designations being unequal
in depth on Union Avenue N . E . south of N . E . 4th Street .
The Planning Director described the reasoning of the Plan-
ning Commission at the time of the Comprehensive Plan rec-
ommendations .
The Chairman asked for comment from the applicant .
Gary Moritz', 2525 N . E . 24th , Renton , stated that it was his
opinion that since the property across the street to the
west was zoned for business usage , his request seemed appro-
priate . He noted that the Dennis Oster site to the south pre-
sently zoned G is the last piece of property within the City
limits and inquired if the property to the south , located
in the County , was not zoned as R-3 . He also inquired re-
garding the King County Comprehensive Plan designation for
the area . Mr. Magstad replied that the King County Planning
Department had been contacted on June 24th and had advised
that the property to the south is presently zoned SR , which
is single family residential . The Assistant Planning Direc-
tor stated that he could not comment regarding the County ' s
Comprehensive Plan designation .
The Chairman invited comment from the audience but received
no response . Discussion was then opened to the Commission .
Discussion ensued with regard to the appropriateness of
the City ' s Comprehensive Plan designation , reasons for just-
ifying a rezone request , availability of sewers , and the
flexibility of the use lines on the Comprehensive Plan .
Commissioner Teegarden stated that Commission recommendations
are not always concurred in by the Council . He also stated
that the property to the north of the subject site was zoned
R- 3 as a part of a larger site to provide a transition be-
tween business and single family use to the south . In
response to Commissioner Garrison ' s inquiry regarding the
availability of plans for the site , the Planning Director
advised that none had been submitted , and he understood
that there were no immediate plans for its use . It was
noted that the Comprehensive Plan in the Highlands area
will be reviewed next by the Community Development Commit-
tee and that the County ' s Comprehensive Plan for adjacent
areas should be considered in the decision .
ACTION: F
MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY RIVILY, THAT THE PLANNING
COMMISSION MOVE TO CONTINUE THE MATTER AND REFER THE SUBJECT
TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE FOR STUDY AND
REPORT BACK AT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON JULY 23RD .
Further discussion followed with the request that the King
County Comprehensive Plan for development be investigated
and a suggestion that Mr. Moritz should present some type
of proposal for the site ' s use .
On the question , MOTION CARRIED .

ted within the City of Renton . Its locale off the Maple Valley
Highway and north and west of the Maplewood area was pointed
out by Mr . Smith . The request for review is pursuant to the
Mining , Excavation and Grading Ordinance . Existing zoning is
S- 1 . While the present use is a gravel pit , it is proposed

• hensive Plan for the property indicates a combination of
single family residential ; low, medium and high density multi -
family , recreational and greenbelt uses . It was noted that
the property is about 1350 feet in depth within the City ;
topographical and natural characteristics of the site were
described . The proposed excavation plan and provisions for
drainage were noted . There is no operation at this time .
• The Planning Director noted items to be considered will
involve processing of the plan , the long-range process and
rehabilitation of the site , Mr. Smith noted that the reuse
plan submitted indicates plans for a commercial shopping cen-
ter facility which is not in agreement with the Comprehensive
Plan .
