PUBLIC HEARINGS
Annexation: East Renton
Plateau, A-98-001
The proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local
and state laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider the East
Renton Plateau 60% Annexation Petition for 193 acres located north and south
of SE 128th Street.
Owen Dennison, Associate Planner, explained that Council accepted the 10%
Notice of Intent to Annex petition for this proposal on October 12th, and
authorized circulation of the 60% petition. The first public hearing on zoning
was held before the Planning Commission on November 18th. Since then, the
60% petition has been certified as sufficient by the King County Assessor’s
Office.
Continuing, Mr. Dennison said the proposed annexation area is minimally
developed with medium or low density single family and small-scale
commercial uses. Much of it remains vacant. Renton’s Comprehensive Plan
designates the area as Residential Rural, Residential Single Family, Residential
Options, and Convenience Commercial. Typical zoning would be R-5, R-8, R-
10 and Convenience Commercial, respectively.
The City had a fiscal impact analysis conducted for this proposal, based on both
current development and on the property’s full development potential. At
current development, the annexation would create an annual shortfall of
$26,311. At full development, it would generate annual revenues of $277,553.
These figures represent General Fund impacts only and do not address the
Waterworks Funds, which operate as self-funding enterprises.
Mr. Dennison reported that King County is currrently involved in two projects
addressing problem surface water areas (one of which located immediately
December 7, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 397
downstream of the proposed annexation area and the other of which addresses
erosion in the Maplewood Creek ravine). If Renton approves this annexation,
King County may ask that it participate monetarily in these projects. The
Surface Water Division’s capital improvement project budget already includes
about $600,000 for improvements to the Maplewood Creek ravine.
Annexation would also require one additional neighborhood park and one
additional community park to serve the projected full-development population
of 1,892 in this area. Estimated costs for park acquisition and development
have been included in the fiscal analysis. Water service would continue to be
provided by Water District #90 upon annexation, although Renton would
provide fire, wastewater and sanitary sewer services.
Mr. Dennison noted that the benefits of annexation are that it would give
Renton control over land uses along this gateway corridor. Also, any new
development would be served by sewers, subject to City regulations. He added
that the annexation is generally consistent with Renton’s Comprehensive Plan
policies and the objectives of King County’s Boundary Review Board.
One unresolved issue is the request from the Issaquah School District that
Renton authorize and collect impact fees on its behalf from new development in
the proposed annexation area (much of which overlaps the school district’s
boundaries). This matter has already been referred to Council’s Finance
Committee.
Audience comment was invited.
Mike Snow, 14114 SE 132nd St., Renton, supported the annexation but was
concerned about the potential for higher density zoning (i.e., R-8 and R-10).
Saying that most of the developed area has been built out at much lower
densities and noting that much of the surrounding area is already zoned R-8, he
suggested that Renton apply zoning no higher than R-5 to the annexation area.
He advised that one reason to do so would be to reduce the pressure on
infrastructure needs in this area.
Responding to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Mr. Dennison said reducing
the zoning density at this point would require an amendment to Renton’s
Comprehensive Plan, which could be initiated by the City after the first of the
year. He added that R-5 can only be applied within one-half mile of the urban
growth boundary.
Claudia Donnelly, 10415 - 147th Ave. SE, Renton, urged Council to approve
the Issaquah School District’s request for impact fees in this area. Explaining
that Issaquah voters rejected two school bond issues last year, she felt it was
appropriate that new development pay for its impacts on the school system. On
another subject, Ms. Donnelly said a proposed single family development in this
area has been appealed to the King County Council. If it moves forward, she
questioned what the agreement will be between Renton and King County for
this project. She was concerned about potential traffic and surface water runoff
problems in this area, and said that R-8 zoning is not compatible with R-4 or R-
5 zoning since apartments do not belong in single family residential areas.
Councilman Corman replied that while he understands the importance of
education and the need to provide funding for this purpose, he felt that the
Issaquah School District should supply Renton with information about how it
will use any impact fees collected within Renton. He specifically was interested
in any plans to use these impact fees to build new facilities benefiting Renton
residents. Councilman Parker commented that this fee is estimated to be about
December 7, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 398
$6,000 to $8,000 per single family home.
Ben Reid, 14412 SE 128th St., Renton, requested specific information on who
will be responsible for paying for any sewers constructed in this area. Mayor
Tanner offered to send Mr. Reid information on this subject.
Mike Proulx, 14331 - 138th Ave. SE, Renton, responded to a comment made by
Ms. Donnelly by clarifying that R-8 is a single family zoning category, not
multi-family as was implied.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER,
SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CARRIED.

BOARD, AND AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO PREPARE AND
SUBMIT A NOTICE OF INTENT TO ANNEX THIS AREA TO THE

REFER THE MATTER OF ZONING IN THIS AREA TO THE PLANNING &
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. CARRIED.
EDNSP: Surplus Property, 339
Burnett Ave S
The proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local
and state laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider surplusing
of City-owned property at 339 Burnett Ave. South.
Susan Carlson, Economic Development, Neighborhoods & Strategic Planning
Administrator, explained that this approximately 27,000 square foot, primarily
vacant, site was purchased in 1995 to provide additional property for the
downtown transit center. Final plans for the transit center and the piazza have
subsequently negated the City’s need for this site.
Numerous persons have expressed interest in purchasing this property for
development. Given that the City’s vision for the downtown involves urban
densities and and an intensity of uses, including market rate housing and vibrant
retail space, staff recommends that the property be sold for a mixed-use
development consistent with the Renton’s objectives for this area. Ms. Carlson
added that staff recommends selling the property now since the market is still
active and good quality developers would likely be interested in the site.
Bill Kreager, Mithun Partners, described three ways in which the property could
potentially be developed. Common factors among the three scenarios were
three to four stories of high-density housing (62 units), with commercial uses on
the ground floor and structured parking for residents. Mr. Kreager added that
the successful proposal would have to consider how the adjoining alley, the
neighborhood to the west, and Burnett Ave. S would all be affected.
Ms. Carlson concluded that if Council approves surplusing this property, staff
would advertise for requests for proposals for development. All proposals
would be required to meet certain criteria as determined by the City; for
example, they would have to address concerns of area neighbors relating to light
and bulk.
Audience comment was invited.
December 7, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 399
Jeff Dineen, 320 Smithers Ave. S., Renton, 98055, submitted a petition
containing eleven signatures expressing concern about this proposal. Mr.
Dineen said although area neighbors had previously submitted a similar petition
last April also regarding this subject, at which time they asked to be kept
apprised of and involved in the process, no notice was given of the City’s recent
proposal until the day before Thanksgiving. He questioned whether the site
must be sold quickly and added that the City has seemingly ignored the request
of nearby residents that the property be considered for long-term parking rather
than high density development. Mr. Dineen concluded that the three proposals
described by Mr. Keager are unacceptable to the neighbors due to: the large
volume of traffic projected for the alley; the height of the building, which would
dramatically affect light and openness for existing property owners; and
balconies on the alley side of the building would negatively impact privacy for
residents to the west.
Councilman Corman hoped that the City would listen to Mr. Dineen’s ideas,
especially as the property is still publicly owned at this time. He also suggested
that the City give priority to development proposals that demonstrate mitigation
of impacts to neighboring residents.
Mayor Tanner stated that Renton’s entire downtown core is zoned for high-
density housing; thus all the development proposals will be required to include
this as a component of the project.
Responding to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, City Attorney Lawrence J.
Warren said the City is not required to surplus the property before soliciting
proposals for its development; however, it is possible that no proposals would
be received unless the property was formally declared to be surplus. Mr.
Warren added that Council will still have the opportunity to review the
proposals before actually selling the site to a third party. The City would not
have to accept any of the proposals if it judged none them all to be
unsatisfactory.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY EDWARDS,
SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CARRIED. (See page 403 for resolution.)
Councilman Parker asked that letters of notification be sent to neighboring
property owners keeping them informed of actions taken related to this site.
Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler added that the residents should also be given
a chance to provide input on the criteria developed for the request for proposals.
ADMINISTRATIVE
REPORT
Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative
report summarizing the City’s recent progress towards goals and work programs
adopted as part of its business plan for 1998 and beyond. Items noted included:
The Recreation Division’s Special Population Program hosted over 150
participants, volunteers, parents and friends at the annual Fall Sports
Awards Banquet at the Renton Senior Activity Center.

Association’s 1998 Non-contact State Flag Football Tournament on
December 5th and 6th.

OLD BUSINESS
Committee on Committees
Council: Council
Compensation
Council President Edwards presented a report regarding City Council
compensation. The Committee on Committees reviewed the topic of increasing
the monthly compensation for City Councilmembers, and found that:
1. Council compensation was last reviewed in 1991;
2. Renton’s population has increased steadily during the years since City
Council compensation was last reviewed;
3. The City Council continues to address local and regional issues of increasing
complexity; and
4. A recommended increase should consider 1) the annual cost of living
increases for Renton city employees, 2) the Consumer Price Index of the Seattle
area, and 3) the compensation of other city councils in the region.
It was understood that Councilmembers, under state law, cannot vote in their
own salary increase for their current term of office. Therefore, the Committee
recommended that the City Council approve an increase in the City Council
salary to $950 per month, beginning January 1, 2000.
