PUBLIC MEETING
Annexation: Mosier II, NE 4th
St & 142nd Ave SE
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 meeting to consider the 10% Notice of Intent petition for the proposed
Mosier II Annexation, which consists of 8.72 acres, including the abutting street
right-of-way, located on the south side of NE 4th St. and bounded by 142nd
Ave. SE on the west, 144th Ave. SE (Jericho Ave. NE) on the east, and SE
132nd St. on the south.
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, pointed out that this annexation site was part of
the larger Mosier I Annexation, which did not proceed for lack of signatures.
He reported that four single-family dwellings exist on this essentially flat site,
and a branch of Maplewood Creek runs southwest of the site, draining wetlands
to the west of 142nd Ave. SE. In regards to public services, Mr. Erickson said
the site is served by Fire District #25, Water District #90, Renton sewer, and
Renton School District.
Continuing, Mr. Erickson stated that the area's zoning under King County is R-4
(four units per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates this area
Residential Low Density, and R-5 (five units per net acre) zoning is proposed.
He noted that, if approved, the proposed new R-4 zone would replace the R-5
zone. Mr. Erickson reported that the fiscal impact analysis indicates a surplus
of $3,826 at full development, assuming an increase to 33 single-family homes.
In conclusion, Mr. Erickson stated that the proposed annexation furthers City
business goals, and is consistent with City annexation policies and policies for
lower density rezones. However, questionable consistency exists with relevant
Boundary Review Board criteria such as logical service areas. He also noted
that the Surface Water Division indicated some potential flooding in the area,
and suggested mitigation with future development.
Public comment was invited.
John Skochdopole, Conner Homes Company, 846 108th Ave. NE, Bellevue,
98004, requested that six more parcels be included in this annexation proposal.
He explained that his company has under contract, approximately 13 acres that
were originally part of the first Mosier Annexation. The properties he wants
included are two large parcels located north of SE 136th St., for which he has
August 23, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 283
authorization from the property owners for their inclusion.
Additionally, Mr. Skochdopole indicated that there are four parcels between the
proposed Mosier II annexation boundary and the two aforementioned parcels.
He pointed out that when combined with the other four parcels, the assessed
valuation of the two parcels is in excess of 65% of the combined parcels.
Therefore, it is possible to proceed with annexing all six parcels, and he
requested that they be included in the Mosier II Annexation.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PERSSON,
SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING.
CARRIED.
MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL ADD THE
PROPERTIES LOCATED SOUTH OF SE 132ND ST. AND NORTH OF SE
136TH ST. TO THE MOSIER II ANNEXATION AREA. CARRIED.
MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL: ACCEPT THE
MOSIER II ANNEXATION 10% NOTICE OF INTENT TO ANNEX
PETITION; AUTHORIZE CIRCULATION OF THE 60% DIRECT PETITION
TO ANNEX; REQUIRE THE ADOPTION OF ZONING CONSISTENT
WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE MAP; AND REQUIRE
THAT PROPERTY OWNERS ASSUME A PROPORTIONAL SHARE OF
THE CITY'S BONDED INDEBTEDNESS. CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Annexation: Tydico, 136th
Ave SE
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 Tydico Annexation, the proposed R-8 and R-10
zoning, and the proposed development agreement restricting development under
the R-10 zone. The Tydico site consists of 9.61 acres generally bounded by NE
3rd Pl. to the north, NE 2nd St. to the south, and 136th Ave. SE (Bremerton
Ave. NE) to the east.
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that the annexation area contains a single-
family dwelling that is used as a nonconforming heavy construction equipment
office. The topography of the site is essentially flat, with a seasonal stream
along the western property line. The site is served by Fire District #25, is
within the Renton water and sewer service area, but is currently served by
Water District #90. He noted that roadway and stormwater improvements are
likely.
Mr. Erickson indicated that existing King County zoning is R-4, and Renton's
Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Residential Options. He explained
that at the annexation election held on 9/16/2003, voters approved the
annexation and R-8 zoning, which was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
at that time. On 11/24/2003, Council approved amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan, resulting in the Residential Options designation for this
area, and the zone most consistent with this new land use designation is R-10.
Mr. Erickson stated that because of concerns raised by nearby residents
regarding the potential impact of higher density housing near their lots, the
applicant will enter into a development agreement (considered by Council on
11/17/2003), which contains restrictions that makes the R-10 zoning more
compatible with the abutting R-8 zoning to the south and east. The site-specific
restrictions are as follows:
• All residential buildings shall be detached single-family residential
buildings;
August 23, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 284
• All future residential lots within the site that directly abut the site's south
boundary shall have a minimum lot width of 50 feet; and
• The net residential density of any development of the site shall not exceed
ten dwelling units per net acre.
Mr. Erickson pointed out that since the election ballot stated "annexation with
R-8 zoning," staff recommends that the site be initially annexed into the City
with R-8 zoning and then be rezoned to R-10 in order to be consistent with
Comprehensive Plan designation and the provisions of the development
agreement. Mr. Erickson stated that the proposed annexation furthers City
business goals, is consistent with City policies, and is supported by the
Boundary Review Board. He noted that the fiscal implications, except for
parks, appear to be relatively minor. Mr. Erickson concluded that the best
interests and general welfare of the City appear to be served by this annexation.
Public comment was invited.
David Halinen, 10500 NE 8th St., Suite 1900, Bellevue, 98004, stated that he
represents the property owner, Liberty Ridge LLC, and thanked City staff for
their cooperation throughout this extended process. He urged Council to move
forward with the annexation as proposed.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY BRIERE,
SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CARRIED.
MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL: ACCEPT
THE 9.61-ACRE TYDICO ANNEXATION SUBJECT TO THE VOTER
APPROVED PROVISIONS OF THE ELECTION BALLOT; REZONE THE
SUBJECT SITE, EXCLUDING PUBLIC STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY, TO R-8

SUBSEQUENT TO THE R-8 REZONE, REZONE THE SITE R-10, SUBJECT
TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE COUNCIL AUTHORIZED
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE
CURRENT RESIDENTIAL OPTIONS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND
USE DESIGNATION.*
Council President Persson noted that the integrity of the existing community
will be protected, and he thanked the Administration for responding to the
adjacent neighbor's concerns.
*MOTION CARRIED. (See page 291 for ordinances.)
Vacation: Lyons Ave NE,
Bales, VAC-04-002
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 street vacation petition submitted by Steve Beck
on behalf of Bales Limited Partnership for a portion of approximately 100 feet
of the remaining unopened 30-foot right-of-way of old Lyons Ave. NE, an
unimproved road located between NE 3rd and 4th Streets, and between Jericho
Ave. NE and Nile Ave. NE (VAC-04-002).
Karen McFarland, Engineering Specialist, explained that this vacation request is
associated with the Amber Lane Short Plat currently in preliminary
development. She relayed that the petitioner said this vacation serves the public
benefit by removing unusable right-of-way that will allow for a better
configuration of lots. Ms. McFarland reported that no objections about the
proposed vacation were received from City departments and outside agencies.
August 23, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 285
The City will obtain an easement at a later date through the development
process after it has been determined where to place the facilities. Currently, no
public facilities are contained in the right-of-way.
In conclusion, Ms. McFarland stated that staff recommends Council approve the
request to vacate the street right-of-way. If approved, the applicant will submit
an appraisal, and the matter will come before Council again once the appraisal
is reviewed, for determination of the compensation.
Public comment was invited.
Myles Ostheimer, 353 Lyons Ave. NE, Renton, 98059, stated that he lives east
of the area to be vacated. He indicated that he thought if the area to be vacated
were ever sold, he would have the ability to bid on at least 15 feet of the 30-foot
property.
Ms. McFarland noted that a portion of a previous vacation (VAC-01-006)
attached to Mr. Ostheimer's property. She stated if the subject vacation request
is approved, it would most likely attach to the property on the west.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY LAW,
SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CARRIED.
Council President Persson clarified that when there is a full-street right-of-way,
it is divided in two and the abutting property owners may buy the half that
attaches to their properties. He pointed out that a previous vacation dealt with
one-half of this right-of-way, and the subject vacation concerns the other one-
half. Therefore, the subject vacation would attach to the property on the west.
MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL APPROVE THE
REQUEST TO VACATE THE STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY. CARRIED.
APPEAL
Planning & Development
Committee
Appeal: Dalpay Estates
Division II Short Plat,
Barfknecht, SHP-03-125
Planning and Development Committee Chair Briere presented a report on the
appeal of the Dalpay Estates Division II Short Plat (SHP-03-125). The
Committee met on 8/19/2004 to consider the appeal of Paul Barfknecht and
Susan Bledsoe. This is an appeal of the decision of the Hearing Examiner dated
4/13/2004. The subject property is located at 3801 NE 19th St. The proposed
land use action is a short plat, subdividing a 2.52-acre parcel into five lots, for
the development of five detached single-family residences.
The Committee found the following facts:
• The appellants are the neighbors of the subject property.
• There is a dispute between the appellants and the applicant regarding an
apparent encroachment on the applicant's property by the appellants.
• The 2.52-acre parcel could support the proposed short plat despite whether
the property encroached upon is awarded to the appellant in a civil action, if
any, between the parties.
• The Hearing Examiner did not render a decision regarding the legal rights
of the parties as they relate to the encroachment. The appellants appealed
this absence.
• The appellants requested reconsideration. A clerical matter was corrected
as a result.
Based on the foregoing findings, the Committee reached the following
August 23, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 286
conclusions:
• The Committee has no jurisdiction over the issue of the encroachment and
who has what rights to the property.
• The short plat proposal meets the City's criteria and if there is a loss of
property due to the encroachment, the proposal still meets the City's criteria.
• The Hearing Examiner was right not to decide the encroachment issue.
Appellants raised two other issues on appeal that were clerical in nature. The
Hearing Examiner made one clerical change after the appellants asked him to
reconsider. As to the second issue, it related to the Hearing Examiner's
summary of the appellant's testimony. The testimony involved (the distance the
trees were from the garage) was not material to the decision and did not
constitute a substantial error of fact or law.
The Committee found no error in fact or law in the Hearing Examiner's
decision. Therefore, the Committee recommended that the Council affirm the
decision of the Hearing Examiner. MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY
CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.
CARRIED.

CORRESPONDENCE
Citizen Comment: Brosman -
Pet License Penalty Fees
At the request of Councilman Corman, a letter was read from Larry Brosman,
3625 NE 9th St., Renton, 98056, asking for a reduction in the penalty fee from
$250 to $100 for cats not wearing a pet license.
Councilman Corman questioned the current pet licensing and penalty
procedures. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler informed that this correspondence has
been referred to the Administration. She suggested that Council wait for the
response, and then determine if the matter should be referred to committee for
discussion as to whether to change City Code.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Transportation (Aviation)
Committee
Streets: Rename SW 41st St to
SW IKEA Way
Transportation (Aviation) Committee Chair Palmer presented a report regarding
the proposed street name change of SW 41st St. to SW IKEA Way. The
Committee evaluated issues surrounding the proposed name change. Business
response was mixed and almost evenly divided. Additionally, discussions with
the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) concluded that
WSDOT could not change the sign on SR-167 unless the street name was
formally changed for the full length of the street.
To make a balanced decision, the Committee also reviewed the contributions
that IKEA has made to the City. These contributions are extraordinary and
unique. Besides a major source of retail sales tax, IKEA contributes to the
Renton School District, Renton Technical College, Renton River Days, and the
Performing Arts Center. These contributions go beyond expectations and are
important elements to creating a diverse and vibrant community.
The Committee understands the concerns of the businesses along SW 41st St.
August 23, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 288
At the same time, IKEA's contributions to the community at large affects
hundreds of people and positively changes their lives through education, arts,
and community festivities. Changing the street name is a way of recognizing
these extraordinary and unique contributions. Consequently, the Committee
recommended that SW 41st St. be renamed SW IKEA Way. MOVED BY
PALMER, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE
COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Councilwoman Palmer stated that IKEA did not ask for the street name change.
The City offered this in preparation for IKEA's ten-year anniversary. She noted
the City's surprise that some of the affected businesses objected, and
emphasized that the City does respect and appreciate the small businesses. Ms.
Palmer explained that IKEA has contributed to the community in many ways,
and this is a way of recognizing those contributions.
