PUBLIC HEARINGS
Development Services: Binding Site Plan Process
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing continued from January 14,
2002, to consider the proposed City Code changes that would establish a binding site plan process, as well as outline the requirements for using a binding site plan.
Senior Planner Lesley Nishihira reported that when the subdivision ordinance was rewritten in 1995, the provisions for a binding site plan process were removed from the City Code. Although
the current regulations work well for residential platting, these regulations are not suited for commercial or industrial subdivisions. She detailed the benefits of the proposed binding
site plan as follows:
Allows for more flexibility in phasing of street and utility improvements to allow for better design to match the final building construction on the site.
Allows for further division of prior commercial or industrial short plats without requiring a full subdivision process.
Allows for the creation of lots for leasing purposes.
Streamlines the review process which allows for a quicker, less costly review and approval process.
Allows for merging with the approval of a site plan or development agreement for the same site, thereby coordinating development and land division for larger parcels which may take many
years to complete.
Continuing, Ms. Nishihira explained that the binding site plan, when proposed individually or with a site plan, would be reviewed at the administrative level within a time frame of
six to eight weeks. When merged with a site plan that needs hearing examiner level review, the review time would be eight to twelve weeks. Finally, when merged with a development
agreement and Council approval is needed, the review time is estimated at twelve to sixteen weeks. In
conclusion, she stated that staff recommends approval of the proposed binding site plan ordinance.
Responding to Councilman Clawson's inquiry regarding the need to change the City Code, Ms. Nishihira explained that over time, staff discovered that the subdivision regulations did not
adequately address the different needs involved with the platting of properties zoned for other than single-family dwellings. She pointed out that the binding site plan is an addition
to current regulations and will address the needs of commercial and industrial zoned land.

Public comment was invited.
Gene Warden, Boeing Realty Corporation, PO Box 3707, M/CIF-58, Seattle, 98124, expressed his support for the adoption of the binding site plan ordinance, saying that it provides flexibility
to property owners as times change. In addition, he stated that it will reduce the City's processing expense and provide owners of commercial and industrial zoned land with a timely
subdivision process.

Vacation: Lyons Ave NE ROW, Abney-Revard (VAC-01-006)
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner reopened the public hearing continued from January
7, 2002, to consider the street vacation petition for portion of unopened Lyons Ave. NE right-of-way located south of NE 4th St. submitted by petitioners Abney-Revard, Inc., Conner
Homes and George Bales (VAC-01-006; Morgan Place Preliminary Plat).
Tom Boyns, Property Services Supervisor, explained that when the matter was heard on January 7th, Mr. Quang T. Do expressed objections to the street vacation. He reported that a meeting
has been set on February 4th with Mr. Do to discuss his concerns. Mr. Boyns described the proposed vacation area and noted that if the vacation is approved, Lyons Ave. S. will be realigned.
Commenting that the realignment of Lyons Ave. S. is a good traffic solution, Mayor Tanner pointed out that Mr. Do's property cannot be given access to the realigned road. If approved,
the vacation will provide Mr. Do with one-half of the area located adjacent to his property resulting in an approximately 30-foot addition to his property. He noted that Mr. Do is
currently using the right-of-way as a driveway. Mayor Tanner recommended closure of the public hearing after all testimony has been heard, and referral of the matter to the Transportation
Committee.
Responding to Council inquiry regarding traffic concerns on NE 4th St., Development Services Director Neil Watts stated that as the plats are developed in the area, the roads are being
configured so that residents can use Jericho Ave. NE and Nile Ave. NE to access traffic signals on NE 4th St.

26, 2001, to consider the petition for street vacation for portions of Lyons Ave. NE, between NE 2nd and NE 4th Streets; Petitioner, Conner Homes (VAC-01-004).
Tom Boyns, Property Services Supervisor, explained that when the matter was previously heard there was confusion regarding some conditions that needed to be met prior to approval, one
of them being the need for pedestrian linkages. He reported that the new sidewalks will provide the necessary linkages, thus eliminating the need for easements and the condition was
removed. In regards to the portion of right-of-way adjacent to Lot 21, it was determined that this portion will not be needed for a future road and the condition was removed.

Finance Committee Chair Parker presented a report recommending changes to the City's existing self-insured healthcare plan as proposed by the Health Benefits Task Force. One discretionary

Preferred Provider Network – New regulations require that the name of the Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) network be listed in the Plan Document along with a description of the
network being used; mandatory change. Revise the first paragraph under Level of Covered Benefits to read as follows: "The level of benefits received is based upon the participant's
decision at the time treatment is needed to access care through either preferred or non-preferred providers. Benefits are payable at the preferred level by accessing your care through
a Preferred Provider, Preferred Medical Facility or from a Preferred Hospital. Out-of-network charges will be paid at the out-of-network level of benefits. Your preferred PPO is….."
Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) – New regulations state that the Plan Document must now outline the QMCSO procedures of the Plan Supervisor; mandatory change. Add the
following under the new heading Special Enrollment for New Dependents through QMCSO: "Section 609(a) of ERISA requires medical benefit plans to honor the terms of a QMCSO. The order
must be a judgment, order of decree or a divorce settlement agreement related to a child support, alimony, or the division of marital property, issued pursuant to State law. Agreements
made by the parties, but not formally approved by a court are not acceptable. If the child is enrolled within 31 days of the court of state agency order, the waiting period and pre-existing
conditions exclusion period do not apply."
Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) – The definition of dependent must include children covered under QMCSO; mandatory change. Add the following under Dependent Eligibility:
"An employee's unmarried dependent child(ren) whose coverage is required pursuant to a valid court order, administrative order or QMCSO."
Exclusion for Self-Inflicted Injuries – According to new Federal law, plans are no longer allowed to exclude claims as a result of self-inflicted injuries due to a condition, either
physical or mental; mandatory change. Amend the plan document under the General Exclusions to the Medical Plan by deleting the self-inflicted/suicide exclusion.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) – The Plan Document is now required to state that the Plan complies with HIPAA rules and regulations; mandatory change.
Add the following under General Definitions: "HIPAA – This plan is subject to and complies with HIPAA rules and regulations."
Termination of Coverage – Modify the benefit to read as follows:
Except as provided in the Plan's Continuation of Coverage (COBRA) provisions, coverage will terminate on the earliest of the following occurrences:
Employee:
The date the City of Renton terminates the Plan and offers no other group health plan.
The date the employee ceases to meet the eligibility requirements of the Plan.
The last day of the month in which the employee's employment ends.
The date the employee begins active service in the armed forces.
The date the employee fails to make any required contribution when coverage is contributory.
The first day an employee fails to return to work following an approved leave of absence.
Coverage of Orthotics – Modify the benefit under Durable Medical Equipment to remove Orthotics from the list of excluded equipment.
Hearing Exams and Aids – Modify the benefit to read as follows:
