SPECIAL PRESENTATION
Legislature: 2005 State
Legislative Session Wrap-Up
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that as part of the 2005 legislative session wrap-
up report, three legislators will be making presentations. Alex Pietsch,
Economic Development, Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning (EDNSP)
Administrator, explained that the EDNSP Department is responsible for
coordinating the legislative affairs of the City, and works in conjunction with
the other departments and a paid lobbyist, Doug Levy.
Pointing out that the 2005 legislative session was one of the most successful
sessions the City has experienced, Mr. Pietsch stated that the City worked
proactively with the nine legislators that represent Renton. Mr. Pietsch
highlighted the legislative actions that have an effect on Renton as follows:
• Received $5 million in Capital Budget to help with the redevelopment of
former Boeing property in the South Lake Washington neighborhood.
• The Freight Mobility Budget includes $4 million for the SW 27th St. and
Strander Blvd. project.
• Over $2 million was granted for the SR-169 Corridor improvements.
• Through the passage of the 9.5-cent per gallon gas tax, more than $300
million of improvements will directly benefit Renton by expanding the
capacity of I-405.
• Legislation was not enacted regarding sales tax streamlining.
• A jobs development fund was enacted that set aside $50 million biennium
for public infrastructure necessary to create jobs.
• Tobacco settlement dollars were set aside for investment in life sciences
and support of life sciences research.
Representative Fred Jarrett, 41st District, emphasized how well the legislators
worked together on the interests of Renton. He agreed that the legislative
session was successful for Renton, but stated that more can be done. Mr. Jarrett
noted the benefits of the 9.5-cent per gallon gas tax; however, he indicated that
if a Regional Transportation Investment District package is not
passed next year, all of the money is available for reappropriation. He asked for
May 23, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 190
the City's assistance and support in pushing forward with the regional
transportation package.
Representative Judy Clibborn, 41st District, pointed out how important the
Capital Budget and the Transportation Budget are to this area's economic
development. She indicated that despite the issues surrounding the Governor's
race, the legislators worked hard during the session. Ms. Clibborn also
indicated that legislators worked across party lines for a balanced session, and
there were many accomplishments. Additionally, she highlighted a bill that she
sponsored this session, which allows employers to give references for
employees with increased protection for the employers' liability.
Representative Bob Hasegawa, 11th District, reported that despite the State's
budget problems, a budget was crafted that did not cut services to citizens as
much as was expected. He noted that 40,000 additional children will be
provided healthcare, and that financial aid will be available to part-time
students. Mr. Hasegawa stated that he is proud of the work that was
accomplished.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler thanked the legislators for the work they performed on
Renton's behalf. With the assistance of Council President Briere, she presented
them with certificates of appreciation. Mr. Pietsch noted that the City's
investment in Doug Levy paid off tremendously, and the Mayor also expressed
her appreciation for Mr. Levy's efforts.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Annexation: Lindberg, 138th
Ave SE & SE 132nd St
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 60% Notice of Intent petition and future zoning
for the proposed Lindberg Annexation, which consists of 10.11 acres, including
the abutting street right-of-way, located east of 138th Ave. SE (Duvall Ave.
NE) and north of SE 132nd St. (NE 2nd St.).
Alex Pietsch, Economic Development Administrator, stated that the area
proposed for annexation contains nine single-family dwellings, is relatively flat
with a two percent slope from west to east, and is constrained by potential
wetlands affecting two northern parcels. The area is served by Fire District #25,
Renton water, Water District #90, Renton sewer, and the Renton School
District. He noted that current King County zoning for the area is R-4 (four
dwelling units per gross acre), and Renton's Comprehensive Plan designation is
Residential Single Family. Therefore, proposed Renton zoning is R-8 (eight
dwelling units per net acre).
Mr. Pietsch reported that the annexation is generally consistent with Boundary
Review Board objectives. The fiscal impact analysis indicates a surplus of
$8,580 at full development, and an estimated one-time parks development cost
of $35,383. He pointed out the necessity of the one-time parks development
cost, explaining that the parks mitigation fee collected upon development does
not cover the full cost of providing the City's desired level of service.
In conclusion, Mr. Pietsch stated that the proposed annexation serves the best
interests and general welfare of the City, and is consistent with City annexation
policies. He noted that the Utility Division suggests using King County's 1998
Surface Water Design Manual, Level II standards for future development.
Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY NELSON,
SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Transportation: NE 3rd/4th St
Corridor Improvements Study
Final Report
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 final report for the NE 3rd and 4th Street Corridor
Improvements Study Project (from Sunset Blvd. N. to the City limits).
Keith Woolley, Civil Engineer III, explained that the purpose of the project was
to develop a comprehensive set of street, traffic control, bicycle and pedestrian
improvements, and actions that will address the existing and future access and
circulation needs of the corridor. He stated that an evaluation of the existing
corridor system was conducted indicating: traffic congestion; inadequate
capacity; operational and safety problems (especially those involving left turns);
an incomplete sidewalk system; a lack of bicycle facilities; and an inconsistent
streetscape.
Mr. Woolley reported that in order to keep the community involved in the
planning process, three public open houses were held over the course of the
project. He indicated that a "Boulevard" concept is recommended for the
corridor, both in look and in function. Recommended improvements include:
intersection improvements, a center median, bus pullouts, sidewalk buffering,
bicycle facilities, and improved aesthetics (roadside and median landscaping).
Mr. Woolley pointed out that the center median will provide access
management, safety, speed control, and beautification.
Continuing, Mr. Woolley displayed and reviewed schematic diagrams and cross
sections of the conceptual plan, as well as the conceptual layout plan for the
various segments along the corridor. Mr. Woolley reviewed the issues relating
to implementation and construction, including steep slopes, the need to acquire
additional right-of-way, existing transmission power utility poles, existing
corner developments at key intersections, and reliance on a State I-405
improvement project. He indicated that mitigation of private property impacts,
landscaping, and streetscape will be addressed at the project design level.
In regards to costs and staging, Mr. Woolley stated that the improvements are
estimated to cost $25 million, and will be broken down into eleven stages that
range from $1 to $5 million. Noting that this project will take 15 or more years
to complete, he reported that a phased prioritized implementation approach is
recommended. Mr. Woolley explained that high priority improvement projects
will be furthered into pre-design as funding is pursued and becomes available.
Public comment was invited.
Gwendolyn High, 13405 158th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, encouraged the City to
address the safety issues along the corridor, especially in the area of the
Maureen Highlands Subdivision (vicinity of NE 4th St. and Rosario Ave. NE).
Noting the increase in development along the corridor, Ms. High suggested that
the City focus any future revenue from annexed areas on corridor sections that
are the most impacted by development.
May 23, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 192
Mike O'Halloran, 4420 SE 4th St., Renton, 98059, asked the City to make this
project a high priority. He expressed his hope that the Liberty Ridge
Subdivision developer or residents will improve their common area facing NE
3rd St., that the Washington State Highway Maintenance Department will
landscape its common area which faces NE 3rd St., and that the intersection of
Union Ave. NE and NE 4th St. will be one of the first to be improved.
Tom Winter, 311 Edmonds Ave. SE, Renton, 98056, requested the installation
of a guard rail at the top of a steep slope located on the south side of NE 3rd St.,
east of Edmonds Ave. NE. He expressed concern about the safety of the
residents who live at the base of the slope in the Liberty Ridge Subdivision,
saying that there is nothing to prevent cars and debris from flying over the hill
and into their backyards. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that the matter will be
investigated.
Dennis Neuzil, 2307 94th Ave. NE, Bellevue, 98004, speaking on behalf of the
Cascade Bicycle Club, indicated that the club has been working on a regional
bicycle route system plan for the four counties of Central Puget Sound. He
stated that NE 3rd and 4th St., and its extension of SE 128th St. over to May
Valley Rd., is proposed to be a part of the regional route. Mr. Neuzil expressed
his appreciation for the inclusion of bicycle facilities in the City's corridor plan.
Stanley Piha, 2101 4th Ave., Suite 250, Seattle, 98121, spoke on behalf of R
and S Investment Company located at 4020 NE 4th St. He explained that a bus
pullout is proposed that will potentially use 16 feet of the property, resulting in
the removal of the majority of the landscaping in front of the property and the
possible elimination of three to four parking stalls. Mr. Piha pointed out that
this action may result in the property becoming a legal but nonconforming use,
and then the owner could not rebuild in the event of a fire. He asked that the
City take care to mitigate the impacts of the project so that properties do not
become nonconforming, and suggested relocating the bus pullout further to the
west.
Councilman Corman stated that this may be a good case for a variance.
Councilman Clawson noted that the City of Tukwila recently adopted an
ordinance regarding setbacks, and suggested that it be reviewed.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY NELSON,

AUDIENCE COMMENT
Citizen Comment: Hardy -
Children Testifying in
Dissolution Proceedings (HB
2068)
Dave C. Hardy, 19235 108th Ave. SE, #206, Renton, 98055, spoke in support
of State House Bill 2068, which relates to children testifying in dissolution
proceedings. Mr. Hardy explained that he is trying to obtain support for the bill,
as it still is under consideration by the Juvenile Justice and Family Law
Committee.
In response to Councilman Corman's inquiry, Mr. Hardy stated that he did
testify his support to the Committee. Mr. Corman pointed out that bills often
take multiple legislative sessions to garner support, and he encouraged Mr.
Hardy to continue to testify at Committee meetings.
Citizen Comment: Brehmer -
Sewer Moratorium in East
Renton Plateau PAA
Theresa Brehmer, Bennett Development, 12011 NE 1st St., Bellevue, 98005,
spoke on the subject of the proposed sewer moratorium in the East Renton
Plateau potential annexation area. She stated that Bennett Development is
working on a 50- to 60-lot subdivision project located at 17250 140th St., and
expressed her concern regarding the effect of the moratorium on the project.
Discussion ensued regarding the timing of the project, annexation, proximity of
the project to available sewer, and the timeline for the Issaquah School District's
Liberty High School sewer project. (See page 194 for committee report.)
Citizen Comment: Alder,
Merritt II Annexation, Low
Density Development
Rebecca Alder, 3112 NE 14th St., Renton, 98056, stated that by annexing the
Merritt II Annexation site and applying low density residential zoning, a lot of
money is being expended for the direct benefit of a few people. Instead of
creating residences that can only be accessed by car and that are located on the
fringes of the service areas, Ms. Alder stressed that Renton needs to revitalize
its core and focus on creating places that are within walking distance, thereby
resulting in the use of less oil.

Global Diving & Salvage, Inc., in the amount of $109,168.08.
In response to Council President Briere's inquiry, Community Services
Administrator Dennis Culp explained that this project was previously bid in
October 2004. However, due to time delays brought on by the contractor, the
"fish window" timeframe for the project was missed. The City withdrew the
contract, and rebid the project in 2005. Mr. Culp indicated that the funding
originally allocated to this project is insufficient, but savings from already
completed projects were carried forward as part of the Major
Maintenance/Parks Maintenance budget for 2005 and are available to use on

Planning and Development Committee Chair Clawson presented a report
regarding abandoned shopping carts. The Committee recommended
concurrence in the staff recommendation to adopt the shopping cart regulations.
The proposed regulations require that businesses with more than ten shopping
carts prepare and file a plan with the City to prevent the illegal removal of carts
from the business premises. The proposed regulations further seek to prevent
the continued possession of illegally removed carts, and to prevent the
accumulation of illegally removed carts on public or private properties. The
proposed regulations allow the City to impound shopping carts, and charge a
