owners that both husband and.wife execute any conveyance of real estate. We would therefore
suggest that the deeds, be'Oedrawn and resubmitted to the City in proper form.'
Wald you also please check Over copy•Of the proposed rezoningOrdinanc5and let us know
before next Monday's meeting whether it meets with your approval.

Minutes of Renton City Council Meeting 2-25-63
COMMUNICATIONS: (cont. )
A letter signed by Douglas K. Felker, Chairman, Planning Commission, and
Gerard M. Shellan, City Attorney was read requesting the record to show that
in their opinion the Charlton-Gould property rezone constituted spot zoning.
It was pointed out that a proper and legal way would be to designate a larger
area as Business zoning as part of the City's comprehensive plan and not take
one lot or two when all other properties for blocks are zoned non-business.
Attention was called to the foregoing for future guide lines of the Council in
subsequent proceedings.
Moved by Garrett, seconded by Gianini, to refer the letter to the Council
as a Whole for future reference and discussion.
Planning Commission Member Jerry Cordell addressed the Council advising of
existing business establishments in the subject area including a builder, a real
estate office, a:boat shop and a greenhouse and pointed out like zonings along
the East and West Valley Highways, with the Commission's intent being to expand
and develop the business potential within the City, this being deemed a place
to begin such expansion.
Mr. Mel Tennant pointed out the 7 to 1 vote of the Planning Commission for
approval of the proposed zoning and expressed his opinion that this zoning is not
part of a comprehensive plan and could not therefore be considered spot zoning.
He outlined his labors in promoting annexation of this area to the City of Renton
aft= experiencing opposition from competitors in the Cascade Vista area in,;deal-
ing with the County though he secured the names of 236 persons supporting his
proposal. Action was requested to consumate the matter at this time.
After further discussion the pending motion carried.
A letter was read from Mr. Earle S. Bigler, Renton Municipal Airport
Manager, submitting proposed Agreement between the City and the FAA for the
Federal operation of the Airport Control Tower. The document had been reviewed
by the City Attorneys and it was moved by Custer, seconded by Delaurenti that
the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Agreement. Carried.
A letter was read from the State .Di.ttrict Engineer of Highways, P. J. McKay,
advising that consideration had been given to City Engineer Wilson's requests
relative tc the need for a four lane structure on Benson Highway and for improve-
ment of Mill Street between Third and Fourth Avenues. The Benson Highway traffic
count at the present time does not justify the added two lanes, however funds
have been requested in the 1963-65 biennial budget for completing a survey to
determine the possible change of route of the Benson Highway coming into Renton
although a future need for a four lane facility was acknowledged. Consideration
is being given to the improvement request on Mill Street and approval of the State
requested therefor. City acceptance of the proposed Grade resolution. and plans
for the Longacrea.,to Cedar River project was requested. The proposed Resolution was
read. A letter from City Engineer, Jack Wilson, was read regarding the grade plans &
resolution. and it was recommended that the documents be approved and the Mayor
and City Clerk be authorized to execute same
Moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the recommendations of the
City Engineers aprovirig the grades and adopting Resolution No. 1189 as read.
Carried.
A letter read from J. David Jensen, Planning Director, submitted Planning
Commission recommendation that a Variance be granted to Mr. Cliff Wiley for the
construction of a residence on property which does not abut City owned right-of-
way. Moved by Custer, seconded by Poli, to concur in the recommendation of the
Planning Commission. Carried.
A letter read from Street Commissioner, Joe Lynch, called attention to
storm sewer projects at 3rd Avenue and Renton Street, 12th Avenue North and 6th
Place North, which were in need of funding in the total sum of $6,026.07.
Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Poli, to refer the matter to the Ways and
Means Committee. Carried.
A letter from the Washington Bankers Association, by Lyle Sandelius, Area
Representative, requested permission to display a trailer on 3rd Avenue on March 1,
1963, in connection with the centennial anniversary of Dual Banking System in U.S.A.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Dahlquist, to grant the request with execution of

Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 1-28-1963
COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS:
OLD BUSINESS (cont. )
Councilman Pedersen called attention to action taken earlier in the meeting on the
appeal of the Planning Commission decision by the Investment Exchange Corporation
and also the explanation by Mr. Tennent regarding his absence from the hearing meet-
ing of last week and moved that Council reconsider the appeal. The motion was
seconded by Poli, however, Mr. Tennent had left the meeting following the prior
action of the Council earlier in the evening. Councilman Garrett inquired whether
it was the intent of the motion to re-open the hearing. Councilman Pedersen called
attention to an opinion of the newly organized Planning Commission from a special
meeting which was held reversing the zoning decision which had been appealed. The
Mayor advised said meeting was not an official meeting and if the Council wished al
recommendation from the new Planning Commission referral thereto was now in order.
After further discussion the pending motion carried, and City Attorney Shellan advised
that the motion to reconsider can only be to reconsider what Council has done and not
what another body has done . However, if a second appeal is to be granted a date should
be set and the parties notified which action would be setting precedent. Councilman
Garrett stated the appeal had been before the Council and turned down and if it were to
now be reconsidered other appeals to come before the Council might also warrant re-
consideration. Councilman Reid expressed concern for the special situation of the
appeal in this case and also that of the newly organized Planning Commission whom he
felt should be afforded the courtesy of consultation before final action is taken.
Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Dahlquist, to refer the matter back to the Planning
Commission. Discussion followed on the action and on the revision' of the Planning
Commission regarding the fact that it constituted the same members of the former Com-
mission except that it was fewer in number and the officers were changed. Concern was
expressed by Council members as to the way the action is taken in the event of its
being contested and whether the motion for reconsideration is applicable to granting
or turning down the appeal.
Mayor Aliment urged action upon the pending motion so that the parties may meet
for further discussion. Planning Director Jensen called attention to the need for the
Planning Commission services in the 701 Program and suggested that any action on further
rezone or other applications be suspended for a period of time in order that full atten-
tion may be devoted to the 701 activities. He then reviewed the entire progress of the
appealed rezone matter from the application and first Planning Commission recommendation
for 'R-3 zoning with a Special Permit for a clinic and recommendation that Council grant
a Conditional Permit for construction of a service station. This recommendation received
concurrence by the Council however, City Attorney Shellan questioned the Council authority
under the City Ordinance to grant a permanent business use in an R-3 zone . The matter was
then reconsidered by the Planning Commission and an R-3 zoning on the entire property
with a Permit only for the clinic on portions of Lots 7 and 4 was then recommended to the
Council. This decision was appealed by Mr. Tennent inasmuch as no provision had been
allowed for the service station and this brought the matter to the Hearing Meeting of
last week at which no one had appeared to render verbal appeal and the Council then
concurred in the Planning Commission decision for the R-3 zoning with permit for the
clinic. Concern for the verbal protestors to the service station zoning was expressed,
Attention was again called to establishment of a precedent by re-opening the
appeal hearing and also the time element involved in other matters which had gone
back and forth between the Council and the Commission. Vote was subsequently taken
on the pending motion and upon dissenting voice vote, Mayor Aliment called for roll
call which resulted as follows:Aye: Reid, Gianini, Dahlquist, Pedersen, Delaurenti
and Poli. No: Dullahant, Hulse, Garrett, Trimm, Custer and Bruce. Mayor Aliment
voted aye breaking the tie vote and carrying the motion.
Moved by Garrett, seconded by Hulse that the Clerk write a letter to the person
protesting the B-1 zoning advising that Council has reversed its decision and referred
this matter to the Planning Commission for further consideration. Carried.
NEW BUSINESS:
Councilman Reid presented a report of the Power and Light Committee which was read
by the Clerk as follows:
The Committee recommended that Mercury Vapor lights be installed at the following
locations on Sunset Boulevard East: Second and fourth poles East from 12th and Sunset,
Pole #546 at "M`T Street and Sunset, Three lights past pole $547 going East, Pole #11033
at 132nd and Sunset and Install both pole and light by the fire hydrant at "K" Street
and Sunset. Moneys for street lights have been appropriated in the 1963 Budget under
Cumulative Fund #1184. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Custer, to concur. Carried.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Delaurenti, that Vouchers 9864 through 9906 be
approved as submitted. Carried.
As there was no further business to come before the Council it was moved by Bruce,
seconded by Poll, to adjourn. Carried. The meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.

the request for the Vacation, the Engineer's report that 100% of the property
owners were represented thereon and the Planning Commission recommendation
that the street not be vacated. There were no additional communications and
Mayor Aliment called for verbal comment at this time. Mr. Tom Nelson, in
regard for present lack of adequate access to the subject area stated his
opposition to the vacation. A report from the Street and Alley Committee and
City Engineer recommended that the Vacation be denied inasmuch as South 128th '
is the last remaining street which might be opened to the West of Rainier Ave.
between Renton Ave. and Bry,1. Mawr and could be an important part of the final
street pattern in subsequent development of the area.
Moved by Trimm, seconded by Poli, to concur in the recommendation of the
Street and Alley Committee and the City Engineer. Carried. The Hearing was closed.
This being the date set, the Hearing on proposed Vacation of South 126th
Street between 87th and 88th Avenues South was declared open. The Clerk read
the request by Petition of abutting property owners along with City Engineers
statement that 100Z of property owners were represented thereon. A report
was read from the Street a:7,d Alley Committee recommending that the proposed
1 +Vacation be denied inasmuch as 87th Avenue South is presently a dead end
street and So. 126th affords the best possib:'lity of developing an additional
access to 87th Avenue South. Also, there are over fifty single family lots
under construction west of 87th Ave. South which may demand that further
access be provided to the area.
Mayor Aliment invited comment from the audience and as there was
no response, it was moved by Dullahant, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the
recommendation of the Street and Alley Committee and City Engineer. Carried.
The Hearing was declared closed.

the fact that a B-1 zoning request :o permit a service station on a portion of
the property was not recommended by the Planning Commission. (Gould-Charlton
property) . There had been no further written communications received and Mayor
liment invited comment from the audience.
