SCARSELLA BROS . , INC . ; Appl . No . SP-760-74 ; special permit to allow filling and grading in M-P zone ; 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. Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24, 1975 Page Three 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 . Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24 , 1975 Page Four 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 . Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24, 1975 Page Five 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 TEEGARDEN - NO WIK - NO WALKER - AYE MOTION FAILED. Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24, 1975 Page Six ACTION: 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 GIBSON - AYE MOLA - NO ROSS - NO TEEGARDEN - AYE WIK - AYE WALKER - 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. Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24 , 1975 Page Nine 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 really known the Commission ' s thinking on the subject. ACTION: MOVED BY ROSS, SECONDED BY GIBSON, THAT WE TABLE THE MOTION TO ALLOW FOR WORD FROM THE APPLICANT. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Kleweno , applicant ' s attorney , stated that Mr. Moritz did not want the R-3 classification and requested that the record indicate that he was opposed to the recommendation going to the Council . Following a brief discussion , IT WAS ACTION: MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY MOLA , THAT HIS MOTION BE REMOVED FROM THE TABLE FOR A VOTE. MOTION CARRIED, ROSS AND GIBSON DISSENTING. A roll call vote was requested on the motion relative to the recommendation to the Council , with the following results : • GARRISON - NO GIBSON - NO MOLA - AYE ROSS - NO TEEGARDEN - AYE WIK - AYE WALKER - AYE MOTION CARRIED. Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24 , 1975 Page Ten 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 WIK - AYE WALKER - AYE MOTION CARRIED. 4 - NEW PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS : FINAL PLAT: A. KENNYDALE PARK ADDITION ; Appl . FP-836-75 ; application for final plat approval ; property located on N . E . 27th St . between Aberdeen Ave . N . E . and Edmonds Ave . N . E . 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 preliminary plat had been approved in February 1975 and 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 . In reply to Commissioner Ross , Mr. Smith indicated that requested off-site improvements by the Planning Commission had been consummated . IT WAS THEN MOVED BY GIBSON , SECONDED BY MOLA, THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE CLOSED . MOTION CARRIED . ACTION: MOVED BY GIBSON, SECONDED BY MOLA , THAT THE PLANNING COMMIS- SION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT OF THE KENNYDALE PARK ADDITION TO THE CITY COUNCIL AS IT COMPLIES WITH THE CITY 'S SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. A recess was declared by the Chairman at 11 : 00 p . m. The meeting was resumed at 11 : 12 p . m. with all Commissioners noted above present . 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 . Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24, 1975 Page Fourteen ACTION: MOVED BY TEEGARDEN, SECONDED BY MOLA, THAT THE MATTER BE REFERRED TO THE SPECIAL STUDIES COMMITTEE FOR STUDY AND REPORT BACK AT THE OCTOBER 22ND PUBLIC HEARING. Mr . Spencer inquired if there were another method of expressing opposition should some of the residents not 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 . On the question , MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. It was suggested by the Assistant Planning Director that the residents select a spokesman , which would assist in the study and communication regarding the matter. Commissioner Gibson , Chairman of the Special Studies Committee , announced a meeting for 7 : 30 p . m. , October 15th , in the third floor conference room regarding the subject. 5• ADMINISTRATIVE: A.

ZONING COMMITTEE Commissioner Mola , Chairman , advised that the Committee had met with the Co-chairmen of C .A . U . S . E . regarding their recommendation for a moratorium on multi -family rezones in the northeast portion of the City and other recommendations relative to the Zoning Ordinance . It was the consensus of all present that this would be difficult to accomplish and should not be attempted and that all of their recommendations would be studied and reviewed during the current detailed study and revision of the Comprehensive Plan relative to that area . It was noted that the Zoning Ordi - nance is also in the process of revision and that the concerns expressed by C . A. U . S . E . would be taken into consideration during these studies . Mr. Mola noted that a memorandum had been prepared to the City Council in response to their referral .

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 . f c), attRenton, Washington July 18, 1975 jUL21 it City of Renton City Hall 200 Mill Avenue Renton, WA 98055 Attention: Mr. J.

Gary Kruger , Associate Planner, noted that "Revision A" of the proposed document had been reviewed with the City Attorney and that his suggestions had been incorporated into "Revision B" also . • Renton Planning Commission Meeting June 25 , 1975 Page Five 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 .

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 .

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 .

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.

E. approximately 400 feet south of N . E . 4th St . The Assistant Planner described the requested rezone for the . 67 acre undeveloped site and noted that the proposed use is for a commercial building site . The conflict with the requested rezone and the Comprehensive Plan designation was discussed , and the Commission advised that the applicant is aware of the disagreement . Commissioner Gibson requested that the topography of the eastern end of the site be field checked by the staff. C. DENNIS R. OSTER; Appi . No . R-827-75 ; Rezone from G to R-3 ; property located on the east side of Union Ave . N . E. approxi - mately 500 feet south of N. E . 4th St . The . 66 acre site directly south of the Moritz property was described by Mr. Smith . It was noted that there are no plans for the property at this time . The Comprehensive Plan desig- nates the area as medium density , multi -family residential district . In response to an inquiry from Commissioner Gibson , Mr. Smith indicated that sewers would be necessary for develop- 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 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 .

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 .

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. Chairman Earl Clymer George J.

Councilman Stredicke requested Planning Director Ericksen 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.

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.

Public Works Director Gonnason intro- Kennydale Sewer duced Project Consultant Bill Moore and Project Engineer Larry Osborn Project of Moore, Wallace & Kennedy, Inc. , Seattle, Project Consulting Firm, authors and principal E. I .S. contributors. Mr. Moore summarized the Impact Statement, describing the L.I .D. project which will provide collection sewer lines for residential areas in the northern portion of Renton (Kennydale area)with 28 linear feet of 8-inch or larger line plus side sewers stubbed to the 500 homes in the area, each homeowner required to make connection from home. The Draft Statement listed direct environmental impacts: Removal of ground cover on easements ( two acres) , would be replaced; construction noise & dust, and con- struction disruption of traffic; and elimination of health hazard. Secondary environmental impacts: full utilization of existing zoning and possible increase in storm water runoff. Alternatives listed: no action and reduce occupancy in areas with septic problems through abatement procedures. The Statement listed mitigation of adverse impact by hydroseeding of unimproved easements; sprinking with water to relieve dust and traffic detours during construction. Mr. Moore requested that all responses to the E. I.S. be written and submitted to the responsible official , Public Works Director Gonnason, by 11/15/75. Councilman Perry inquired re storm water and was advised existing run- off has been taken into consideration and that new plats should be con- sidered as developed. Following further discussion, Mr. Mark Iozzio 255 First Ave. N.W. , Issaquah, made inquiries on behalf of Washington Environmental Impact Council; commented on alternatives for "where sewerage goes" after collected in Kennydale and also that acceptance of this plan would develop northern side of May Creek. Mr. Moore requested the comments be submitted to the Public Works Director in writing prior to the deadline of 11/15/75. Upon inquiry by Councilman Stredicke, City Attorney Shellan noted closing of hearing does not constitute acceptance of the Impact Statement and Council will have further opportunity to review final statement. Project Engineer Osborn used display map to further explain the district and project. Council- man Grant inquired regarding inclusion of property on Edmonds N. E. where the L. I .D. had been rejected, being advised of inclusion. Plans for installation of the line in or adjacent to Edmonds Ave. N.E. were dis- / cussed.

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.

R-821-75 ; property located east side of Union Ave . N . E . approximately 400 ' south of N . E . 4th St. 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 Page Two 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 .

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 MLS :mas STAFF REPORT • JUNE 25 , 1975 APPLICATION : • REZONE APPLICANT : GARY MORITZ LOCATION : Property is located on the east side of Onion Avenue N .

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 . � s �s Renton Planning Commission Meeting September 24, 1975 Page Six ACTION: 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.

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 . O Z 7 l Renton Planning Cor ssion 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 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 B- 1 zoned area at the intersection and the subject , 1 site and indicated that it was his opinion that to grant the request would be an illegal act . 1 On the question , a roll call vote was requested with 1 the following results : a GARRISON - AYE GIBSON - AYE MOLA - NO ROSS - AYE TEEGARDEN - NO 1 WIK - NO .

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 really known the Commission ' s thinking on the subject . ACTION: MOVED BY ROSS, SECONDED BY GIBSON, THAT WE TABLE THE MOTION TO ALLOW FOR WORD FROM THE APPLICANT . MOTION CARRIED.

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 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 . • Renton Planning Commission Meeting June 25 , 1975 Page Five 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 .

Slides of the area were viewed . 6/2 5- 7 Renton Planning Commission Meeting June 25 , 1975 Page Six 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 .
