SPECIAL PRESENTATION
Community Services: Athletic
Programs
Recreation Director Sylvia Allen commented on the success of Renton's athletic
programs, pointing out that new programs and participants are added every year
without adding extra staff. She introduced Andy O'Brien, Recreation Program
Coordinator, who reported on the athletic programs. Mr. O'Brien stated that
over 105,000 participants and spectators were involved with the programs in
2004, and over 1,800 volunteer hours helped support the more than 100
different athletic programs.
Recreation Specialist Sean Claggett reviewed the youth athletic programs,
which include sports leagues, special events, sports camps, and sports classes
and clinics. Mr. O'Brien then reviewed the adult athletic programs, which
include basketball, volleyball, and softball leagues.
Bonnie Rerecich, Recreation Supervisor, addressed the growth and customer
service aspect of the programs, noting the 76% growth in participation over the
past four years. Mr. O'Brien noted the value of Renton athletics to the
community, which include health and wellness benefits, field scheduling and
May 16, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 176
community partnerships, and economic benefits. In conclusion, Mr. O'Brien
reported that the goal for the future of Renton athletics is to continue to
maximize the City's resources while having a positive impact on the quality of
life in Renton.
PUBLIC MEETING
Annexation: Merritt II, SE
May Valley Rd & Coal Creek
Parkway
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 boundaries, phased implementation, and R-1 and
R-4 zoning for the expanded Merritt II Annexation. The site is bounded by
Lyons Ave. NE on the east; approximately SE 101st St., if extended, on the
south; and the City of Renton boundary, SE 95th Way and 136th Ave. SE on
the west.
Senior Planner Don Erickson stated that Council accepted the 50% petition to
annex in April 2004, and King County invoked the Boundary Review Board's
jurisdiction in August 2004 requesting expansion of the boundaries from 20.6
acres to 133 acres. After holding hearings on the matter, the Boundary Review
Board approved the expanded boundaries in February 2005.
Mr. Erickson noted the 54 existing dwellings on the annexation site. He also
noted that the site is served by the following public services: Water District
#90, Coal Creek Utility District, Renton water, Fire Districts #10 and #25, and
the Renton and Issaquah School Districts. He reported that the site's existing
King County zoning is R-1 (one dwelling unit per gross acre) and R-4 (four
dwelling units per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the site
as Residential Low Density, and it was prezoned R-1 (one dwelling unit per net
acre) and R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre).
Continuing, Mr. Erickson reviewed the fiscal impact analysis, assuming a new
home value of $500,000 and a potential of 96 single-family homes at full
development. The City will realize a deficit of $11,417 at current development,
and a deficit of $7,738 at full development. He noted that there is a deficiency
of parks in the area, and that there are surface water issues related to May
Creek. Mr. Erickson concluded that the proposed annexation is within the best
interests and general welfare of the City, and furthers City business goals.
Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch commented on the
proposed phased implementation of the annexation, explaining that the purpose
of the phasing has to do with King County's funding for a portion of the Duvall
Ave. NE improvements project, which lies within the annexation area. He
explained that the proposed ordinance authorizes the annexation in its entirety;
however, the effective date of Phase II will be delayed for twelve months.
Phase I encompasses approximately 74.87 acres of the subject area, and Phase II
encompasses approximately 47.93 acres.
Public comment was invited.
Andrew Duffus, 9605 143rd Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, voiced his support for the
annexation. He expressed his concern regarding non-conforming non-legal uses
in the subject area, and recommended that the City address the matter of illegal
businesses.
Jean Rollins, 9605 143rd Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, stated that she favored the
annexation. Ms. Rollins expressed her fears regarding the area's surface water
problems, and the impact of future development. She stressed that the City
must be very strict in the implementation of its codes and regulations, especially
those that will relieve the serious and complex surface water issues.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Planning: Highlands Sub-Area
Plan Study Area Moratorium
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 six-month moratorium on new development in
the R-10 (Residential - 10 dwelling units per acre) and RM-F (Residential
Multi-Family) zones in the Highlands Sub-Area Plan study area generally
located between Aberdeen Ave. NE and Monroe Ave. NE, and between NE
23rd St. and NE 5th Pl.
Rebecca Lind, Planner Manager, explained that the City is beginning a new sub-
area planning process for the Highlands that will result in land use actions and
densities needed for redevelopment. This is in line with the 2005 Business
Plan. The purpose of the moratorium is to provide time for staff to: develop
policies and new development standards; conduct a public outreach program;
and gain property owner, business owner, and resident input and support for the
plan. Ms. Lind reported the staff recommendation to exclude Renton School
District property at Hillcrest School from the moratorium, and noted that the
resolution has been revised to that effect.
Continuing, Ms. Lind indicated that the subject area's current zoning does not
allow the higher densities needed to stimulate a larger redevelopment effort.
Some existing lots are large enough to subdivide at lower densities, which
perpetuate a land use pattern inconsistent with the adopted City goals and vision
for the Center Village Land Use Designation. She stated that the current R-10
zoning allows single-family detached uses in areas that will be evaluated for
higher density as part of the Highlands Area Sub-Area Plan. The current RM-F
zoning allows piecemeal development of underutilized parcels that undermines
implementation of the overall development effort.
Ms. Lind stated that staff recommends continuing the six-month moratorium,
with review in October. She reported that the study area includes R-8 single-
family neighborhoods and commercially zoned areas that encourage mixed-use
residential and commercial development at higher densities. She noted that the
moratorium does not include these areas, and does not affect commercial
businesses or mixed-use projects. Ms. Lind concluded that a moratorium is
needed for the following reasons: to provide time to develop new standards that
reflect the City's vision for the Highlands, and to work with property owners to
implement its goals; to relieve pressure from immediate development in the
area; and to improve the City's ability to market property as a result of the new
zoning and policy directions.
Councilman Corman noted that live fire training is to be conducted on a duplex
in the vicinity of Kirkland Ave. NE and NE 16th St., and he inquired if the
potential redevelopment of the property will be affected by the moratorium.
May 16, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 178
Ms. Lind stated that she will investigate the matter.
Public comment was invited.
Kathleen Ossenkop, 3316 NE 12th St., Renton, 98056, stated that she has lived
in the area since 1966, and she enjoys her unique street and current life style.
She noted the existence of covenants registered with King County in 1949 that
limit each parcel on her block to 6,000 square feet. Ms. Ossenkop expressed
her concern that increasing the density will negatively affect the quality of life
of the residents. Pointing out that the City does not have the infrastructure to
support high densities and that more single-family residences are needed, she
recommended that the area's zoning remain the same.
Iris Adams, 1209 Monroe Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, pointed out that she has
lived in the area since 1965, and stated that she is against high density and
wants the single-family housing to remain. She also expressed concern about
the potential of high-density development on a property that neighbors hers.
Councilman Corman stated that the point of the study is to evaluate the density
levels. As a Highlands resident, he relayed that he is interested in learning how
to encourage redevelopment in areas where aging World War II duplexes exist.
Mr. Corman encouraged residents to specify what improvements they want to
see in the area, saying that he is convinced the area can be improved.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler emphasized that the subject of the public hearing is the
moratorium, and not the development specifics. She pointed out that the
moratorium will provide time for the City to conduct the study.
Glenda Johnson, 1216 Monroe Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, favored the
moratorium, and welcomed the study. She encouraged sensitivity, establishing
higher density where it makes sense, and maintaining the character of the
neighborhoods.
Keith Demps, 2308 NE 24th St., Renton, 98056, voiced his support for the
moratorium. He stated that he is a developer and has plans for projects in the
area in the upcoming months. Mr. Kemps inquired as to whether he can move
forward with his projects.
Zanetta Fontes, Assistant City Attorney, explained that vested projects are
allowed, which means that the project application must have been accepted by
the City prior to the declaration of the moratorium.
Discussion ensued regarding the timing of Mr. Demps' projects, the permit
process, and the types of projects. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that staff will
review Mr. Kemp's issues. Councilman Corman indicated that it is not the
City's intent to cause harm, and pointed out that more development options may
become available as a result of the study.
Fred Crothamel, 2951 74th Ave. SE, Mercer Island, 98040, indicated that he
owns five duplexes in the subject area, and voiced his support for higher
density. Mr. Crothamel stated that he is in favor of rehabilitating the area and
increasing the amount of affordable housing.
Keith Thompson, 660 Index Pl. NE, Renton, 98056, voiced his support for the
moratorium, and pointed out that he owns three properties in the area. While he
supports higher densities, he expressed concern that he may be forced to do
something with his properties that is beyond his financial capability. Mr.
Thompson acknowledged that many properties in the area are not properly
May 16, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 179
maintained, and stated his appreciation for the City's efforts to address code
compliance issues. He noted, however, that people choose to live in the
duplexes because the rent is affordable and the density is lower.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler assured that regardless of the zoning that is established
in the area, property owners will not be required to redevelop unless they
choose to do so. Councilman Corman acknowledged that the duplexes provide
families with an affordable, "single-family" type lifestyle, and pointed out that
his concerns involve those structures that are dilapidated.
Ron Christensen, 625 Index Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, stated that he is provided
an income from his property, that his property is well maintained, and that its
value has increased over the past five years. Mr. Christensen suggested that the
City consider sidewalk improvements and underground wiring.
Ed Rasmussen, 1300 Monroe Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, pointed out that the
density level of the area was changed as a result of a past rezone. He stated that
while he is not against progress, he is concerned about how his neighborhood
will be affected. He noted that the covenants on the plat in which he lives are
still in force. Mr. Rasmussen also expressed his concern that property taxes will
increase, forcing people to move out of the area.
Owen Dennison, 316 Occidental Ave. S., Suite 320, Seattle, 98104,
representing the Renton School District, spoke in support of the revision to the
resolution to exclude the Hillcrest School project from the moratorium. He
explained that the project is non-residential and will not affect the long-term
plans for the area.
Bimhl Kumar, 2102 NE 23rd St., Renton, 98056, expressed concern regarding
the time and money the City has already spent on Highlands area planning. He
also expressed his concern that people may be displaced. Mr. Kumar noted that
he demolished a duplex (lot #34) on Index Ave. NE, and he wants to continue to
develop the property. He voiced his frustration with the progress of his project.
In response to the Mayor's inquiry, Mr. Kumar stated that he supports the
moratorium.

Annexation: Honey Creek
East, Union Ave NE
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 proposed annexation and R-8 zoning of 27.5
acres located west of Union Ave. NE and south of SE 100th St. (Honey Creek
East).
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, explained that the King County Boundary
Review Board approved the annexation proposal effective 4/2/2005, and this is
the second of two public hearings on the matter. He reported that the site
contains 46 single-family dwellings, and 8.6 acres of the site are vacant. He
noted that the existing streets are not up to City standards, often lacking
sidewalks, and there is a deficiency of developed recreational opportunities in
the area. Reviewing the public services, Mr. Erickson stated that the area is
May 16, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 180
served by Fire District #25, Renton water and sewer, and the Renton School
District.
Continuing, Mr. Erickson said existing King County zoning is R-6 (six dwelling
units per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the area as
Residential Single Family, for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre)
zoning is proposed. He reviewed the fiscal impact analysis, which assumes a
new home value of $450,000 and 55 new single-family homes. The City will
realize a deficit of $8,177 at current development, and a surplus of $9,873 at full
development. Mr. Erickson noted the estimated one-time parks acquisition and
development cost of $78,034.
In conclusion, Mr. Erickson stated that the proposed annexation serves the best
interests and general welfare of the City and furthers City business goals.
Public comment was invited.
John Lunz, 10110 130th Ave. SE, Renton, 98055, stated that he is opposed to
the annexation, and can see no advantages for the existing residents to annex to
Renton.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY LAW,

SITE. CARRIED. (See page 183 for ordinances.)
Annexation: Maplewood East,
SE 136th St & 156th 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 proposed annexation and R-4 zoning of 26.14
acres bounded by 152nd Ave. SE and the City limits on the west, 156th Ave. SE
on the east, SE 136th St. on the south, and the Willowbrook Lane Subdivision
on the north (Maplewood East).
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that this is the second of two public
hearings, and the King County Boundary Review Board approved the proposed
annexation effective 4/11/2005. He reported that eight single-family dwellings
exist on the sloped site, which contains a 75-foot drop from the northeast corner
to the southeast corner. Mr. Erickson indicated that the site is served by Fire
District #25, Water District #90, Renton sewer, and the Renton School District.
Continuing with the zoning, Mr. Erickson explained that the site is zoned R-4
(four dwelling units per acre) under King County. The City's Comprehensive
Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density, for which R-4 (four
dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. He noted that this is one of
three annexation sites that were grandfathered in with the R-5 zone densities
and lot standards in November 2004.
Reviewing the fiscal impacts of the proposed annexation, assuming a new home
value of $400,000 and the potential of 78 single-family homes at full
development, Mr. Erickson reported that the City will realize a deficit of $746
at current development, and a surplus of $6,515 at full development. The
estimated one-time park development fee is $32,185. In conclusion, Mr.
May 16, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 181
Erickson stated that the annexation proposal furthers City business goals and is
consistent with City policies. He noted that the potential flooding in the area
will be addressed at the time of development.
Responding to Councilman Persson's inquiry, Mr. Erickson explained that the
subject annexation area was one of three areas vested with the density, lot size,
and minimum lot configuration provisions of the former R-5 zone. He indicated
that the R-5 zone was replaced by the R-4 zone in November 2004.
Public comment was invited.
Kristy Hill, 13527 156th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, stated her support for the
annexation, noting that the proposed zoning will maintain lower densities and
preserve the character of the neighborhood.

ADMINISTRATIVE
REPORT
Derek Todd, Assistant to the CAO, reviewed a written administrative report
summarizing the City’s recent progress towards goals and work programs
adopted as part of its business plan for 2005 and beyond. Items noted included:
Over 60 boys and girls have joined the Tiffany Park Elementary Spirit
Club, which is part of the Recreation Division's after-school recreation
program. These students meet once a week to practice dance and cheer
routines.
The State Transportation budget includes $2.5 million for the SR-169
improvement project to fund Phase 3 that includes transit queue jumps and
intersection improvements at the intersection of SR-169 and 140th Way SE.
The City now has funding for all three phases of the project.
King County: BNSF Rail
Corridor Purchase for Trail
Referring to an article in the 5/16/2005 Seattle Times regarding King County
entering into exclusive negotiations with Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway
to buy a 47-mile rail corridor stretching from Renton to Snohomish County for
use as a trail, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stressed that the Administration was
unaware of King County's action prior to reading the article. She reminded
Council that the City is on record opposing high capacity transit on the subject
right-of-way, and she expressed concern regarding the impact of King County's
action on the operation of the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train.

Sunny Tosi stated that she represents the property located at 1305 N. 30th St.,
Renton, 98056, which is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Brown who operate a
lawnmower repair business on the site. Noting that the property has been on the
market for the past three years, she explained that the owners have been
unsuccessful in selling the property, despite many offers, due to the restrictions
of the Commercial Neighborhood zone. Ms. Tosi stated that the Browns are
planning to use the proceeds from the sale for their retirement, and she asked for
the City's assistance in determining who to market the property to. Gregg
Zimmerman, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator, stated that he will

community. Lt. Lebel noted an offer by a new aviation organization for the use
