PUBLIC HEARINGS
Vacation: 140th Ave SE,
Conner Homes, VAC-04-001
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
public hearing to consider the petition by Conner Homes to vacate a 20-foot by
308.85-foot unimproved portion of 140th Ave. SE running north and south
between SE 132nd and SE 136th Streets (VAC-04-001).
Dave Christensen, Utility Engineering Supervisor, explained that the petitioner
plans to remove unusable right-of-way and provide new right-of-way as part of
its proposed Laurelhurst Plat, which is currently in development. The new
right-of-way will serve the proposed residential lots and provide the same
functionality as the requested vacation area.
Mr. Christensen stated that 100% of the abutting owners have signed the
petition for vacation. The right-of-way included in this petition came into the
City as part of the recent Carlo Annexation. It was obtained through a quitclaim
deed to King County in 1966, and the unimproved right-of-way was never
opened for public use, nor maintained by King County. He noted that the right-
of-way immediately south of the petition area was vacated by King County in
1998.
Continuing, Mr. Christensen reported that facilities in the right-of-way include a
36-inch storm drain that is owned by the City, and a buried water line that is
owned by Water District #90. He stated that no objections were raised when the
request for the proposed vacation was circulated to City departments and
outside agencies. The Surface Water Utility Division requested that an
easement be retained for storm facilities. In conclusion, Mr. Christensen
recommended approval of the street vacation request with the stipulation that
the City retain a ten-foot utility easement for the existing storm drain, which
skirts and crosses the eastern boundary of the area. Additionally, he
recommended that staff be directed to work with the petitioner to determine the
compensation through an appraisal of the vacation area.
Public comment was invited.
June 14, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 196
David JorDan, 14004 SE 135th St., Renton, 98059, raised questions regarding
the easement, the abandonment of 140th Ave. SE, the proximity of the proposed
houses to the new property line, the maximum height of the proposed structures,
preservation of the neighborhood's character, adding the balance of the
easement to the abutting properties, and the environmental impacts of the
proposed development.
In answer to Mr. JorDan's questions, Mr. Christensen stated that of the 50-foot
right-of-way, 30 feet is adjacent to the homes east of the area and is within King
County, and 20 feet is within the City limits. He pointed out that King County
is responsible for determining whether the adjacent property owners can add the
30-foot (King County-owned) right-of-way to their property.
Continuing, Mr. Christensen indicated that the Transportation Division
determined that 140th Ave. SE is not a corridor that will be developed in the
future. In regards to the proposed development, the height restriction is 35 feet
and the backyard setback is 20 feet. The street vacation process is exempt from
SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act); however, the proposed plat will
undergo environmental review. Mr. Christensen emphasized that the applicant
is only in the early stages of the development process for the proposed plat.
Planner Manager Rebecca Lind added that the R-8 zone allows eight dwelling
units per net acre, and she reiterated that the development is in the early stages
of review and there will be further opportunities for the public to comment.
Karen Cook, 14012 SE 133rd St., Renton, 98059, expressed concern regarding
the R-8 zoning abutting her property's R-4 zoning, and suggested that the
existing 20-foot right-of-way serve as a buffer. Indicating that the developer
may tie into the storm drainage system that was installed to relieve flooding,
Ms. Cook stated that the effect the increased stormwater will have on the system
has not yet been addressed. She questioned how the vacated area will be used,
why the vacation request was changed from 30 feet to 20 feet, and where the
roadway will be constructed.
Mr. Christensen clarified the applicant did request 30 feet; however, the right-
of-way width is actually 20 feet with a ten-foot easement. He explained that the
unusable right-of-way that cannot be developed as street section will be
replaced with new right-of-way to serve both this area and the proposed plat.
Mr. Christensen said the storm drainage issue will be addressed during the
development process. In regards to the roadway, he stated that it will be
constructed interior to the plat.
Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman stated that
the proposed plat is a separate process. The plat will undergo SEPA review,
and property owners within 300 feet of the proposed land use action will be
noticed, as well as any citizens that request to be parties of record.
Jay Cook, 14012 SE 133rd St., Renton, 98059, stated that in regards to the
subject property, it is unclear what King County is responsible for and what
Renton is responsible for. He expressed concern about the stormwater drainage,
and recommended that the vacation be denied because not enough is known
about the proposed development at this time.
Mr. Christensen explained that the storm line runs along the centerline of the
right-of-way, which is why the ten-foot easement has been requested. The
easement area, along with the 30 feet of remaining right-of-way, is more than
adequate for the maintenance of the storm line. He stressed that adjacent
June 14, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 197
property owners need to contact King County regarding the 30-foot portion of
right-of-way that is under King County's jurisdiction.
Lola Archer, 14004 SE 133rd St., Renton, 98059, expressed concerns regarding
the roadway, the size of the easement, the storm drain, stormwater drainage, and
flooding. She indicated that because there are too many unknowns, she wants
to see the development proposal before the vacation request is approved.
In response to a previous speaker's (Mr. JorDan) additional inquiries regarding
the submittal of vacation petitions to King County, the value of the vacation,
and the location of a roadway, Mr. Christensen stated that preliminary
development plans indicate that new residences' backyards, not a roadway, will
abut the property line. He explained that King County abides by State law in
regards to vacation requests, as Renton does, and an appraisal must be
conducted on the subject property.
Lily Bishai Treadwell, 14005 SE 133rd St., Renton, 98509, expressed concern
about the stormwater drainage, pointing out that her property was damaged six
years ago due to rising groundwater and she was forced to move out of her
house for six weeks. She agreed with the idea of a buffer area between the new
development and the existing residences. Ms. Bishai stressed that the vacation
request should not be pursued until the drainage problem is addressed.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler explained that the developer is pursuing the vacation
first, so that it can develop its plans accordingly. She indicated that the
speakers' concerns regarding stormwater drainage are on record, and drainage is
one of many aspects that will be reviewed when the plat is submitted. The
Mayor advised that the developer must meet City standards in regards to
stormwater drainage; however, the City has no control over what King County
does on its property. She emphasized that citizens will have the opportunity to
comment during the development process.
Rene Treadwell, 14005 SE 133rd St., Renton, 98059, indicated that the King
County installed storm line was only designed to serve the pond to the north,
and if the developer ties into it, the line will exceed its capacity to drain. He
stated that he does not want his property to flood again.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PERSSON,
SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CARRIED.
Councilwoman Briere expressed her support for the recommendation to vacate
the street, saying that there would be a much greater impact to the neighbors if
this property became a street, rather than the new residences' backyards.
MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL CONCUR WITH

Planning: Primary Use Surface
Parking Lots Development,
Park & Ride Facilities
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
public hearing to consider regulations for primary use and shared-use parking
June 14, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 198
for park and ride facilities.
Rebecca Lind, Planner Manager, reported that King County Metro operates a
number of park and rides in Renton, including one at the former K-Mart site
that has now been eliminated due to impending development. Metro began
exploring other park and ride options in the Rainier Corridor, and the City
realized it did not have clear policy direction on this issue. City Council
imposed a moratorium, which expires on 6/15/2004, on new primary use surface
parking lots to allow time for policy development.
Ms. Lind explained the difference between parking as a primary use (lots used
as a business or primary activity) and parking as an accessory use (lots attached
to a business or residence). She stated that staff has prepared new draft
Comprehensive Plan policies addressing urban park and rides, suburban park
and rides, and shared-use park and rides; and the policies will be reviewed
during the Comprehensive Plan update process.
Ms. Lind said the proposed City Code amendment creates two new use
categories: "Park and Ride, Permanent" and "Park and Ride, Shared-Use."
Permanent facilities are defined in the amendment as a surface parking lot or
structured parking garage used for parking of vehicles for commuters, and they
are permitted in the Industrial, Commercial Office, and Commercial Arterial
zones south and east of I-405; and in the Commercial Neighborhood zone along
Sunset Blvd. They are not allowed in residential, Convenience Commercial,
and Center Office Residential zones. Only structured park and rides are
permitted in the downtown and center village areas.
Ms. Lind continued with the shared-use facilities, which are defined in the
amendment as pre-existing surface parking lots or structured parking garages
created for a purpose other than commuter parking. Shared-use facilities are not
permitted between SE 7th St., Shattuck Ave. S., Airport Way, and Hardie Ave.
SW in the Commercial Arterial zone. As a result of this City Code amendment,
Ms. Lind pointed out that the existing South Renton park and ride would
become a legal non-conforming use; the park and rides at Metropolitan Place
and City Center Parking garage would be permitted uses; and leased lots outside
the Rainier Corridor and in residential areas are allowed.
Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY LAW,

Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes explained that when a legislative action
is on the table, a majority of the voting body (four of the seven-member
Council) must vote in the affirmative for the legislation to be adopted. In this
case, the motion was an action based on the staff recommendation of whether or
not to move forward with the vacation and eventually bring forward an
ordinance. The motion was not a legislative act; therefore, the motion to
approve the vacation carries, as a majority of the quorum voted in favor of the
motion (three of the four Councilmembers present).
