LEGAL DESCRIPTION: LOTS 4 & 5 BLK 20 EARLINGTON ACRE TRACTS VOLUME PAGE 84
On January 30, 2015, I, Jason Seth, the City Clerk of Renton, Washington, mailed you a notice of
potential assessment for sanitary sewer improvements associated with the South 132nd Street Sewer
Extension Project. We have now completed construction of these sewer facilities. The facilities, as
shown on the attached map, are eligible for cost recovery under City Special Assessment District
Ordinance No. 4444.
For those properties that could receive benefit directly by the sewers, future use would trigger
payment of a 'fair share' cost of the sewer. This assessment is calculated, as a unit charge, by dividing
the cost of the conveyance portion of the sewers by the number of units projected for the basin
served by these sewers. This rate has been established at $11,254.92 per unit.
The purpose of the assessment district is to allow the City the ability to collect the costs of the
construction of the sewer facilities from all those who benefit from its construction. To accomplish
this, we are required to record an ordinance which will serve as a notice of potential assessment.
This ordinance will establish a boundary that includes any parcel that may benefit in the future. It is
our goal to ensure, in fairness to all, that any property owner that connects at a later date pays their
share just like those who will connect right away. The benefit area is defined as the ultimate service
area that the facility may be able to serve. This boundary is shown on the attached map.
You will only be required to pay this assessment when the property gains benefit from these sewer
facilities. Until that time, the property can be sold or change hands without triggering the
assessment. Benefit from these sewer facilities can be described as follows:
• A property not currently connected to a City sewer facility (i.e., currently utilizing an on-site
system or a vacant parcel), that connects to the sewer system associated with this district will
trigger the assessment. Until then, the assessment will not be triggered.
• For those properties that are already connected to City sewer, this assessment will only be
triggered if the property increases its density either by change of use (i.e., single family to multi-
family housing) or through increased density within the same use (i.e., further subdivision of
land for single family housing).
You will not be required to pay the assessment unless one of the above situations occurs. However,
the assessment district will accrue simple interest at a rate of 2.60% per annum for a period of ten
years. The accrual of interest will begin thirty (30) days after the notice of potential assessment is
recorded with King County Records. To avoid interest charges at a future date, you may pay the
amount of assessment during the thirty-day period after recording, interest free. This option is
totally at the discretion of the property owner.
Per City Ordinance No. 4444 you may request an appeal hearing by writing to the Renton City
Council, c/o City Clerk, 1055 S. Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057, within twenty (20) days of this mailing
(by April 13, 2015, 5:00 P.M.).
Grounds for protest:
An appeal shall include a statement of claimed errors that concern the proposed
assessment and must be accompanied by a $75.00 non-refundable fee. Errors which are
not set forth in writing will not be considered. Pursuant to City Ordinance No. 4444,
Sections 9-16-9.C and D, the only items of appeal that will be considered are the cost of
the facilities, the costs distribution methodology, and the issue of benefit to the
properties to be assessed
Appeal Fee and Appeal Process:
A non-refundable appeal fee in the amount of $75.00 shall be submitted with each
appeal. If a protest is received and deemed timely and establishes a proper grounds for
protest according to City Ordinance, a public hearing will be held. If no protests are
received, the above-quoted notice of potential assessment will be recorded against your
property. The charge(s) will not be collected until you subsequently tap onto or use the
facilities covered by the Special Assessment District notice.
We hope that this notice will answer most of your questions. If you do, however, have questions
pertaining to sewer installations, the background of the assessment district, or the appeal process,
please contacts John Hobson (primary) at 425-430-7279 or Dave Christensen (secondary) at
425-430-7212.

You will not be required to pay the assessment unless one of the above situations occurs. However,
the assessment district will accrue simple interest at a rate of 2.60% per annum for a period of ten
years. The accrual of interest will begin thirty (30) days after the notice of potential assessment is
recorded with King County Records. To avoid interest charges at a future date, you may pay the
amount of assessment during the thirty-day period after recording, interest free. This option is
totally at the discretion of the property owner.
