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 proposed annexation and R-8 zoning of 10.6
acres located east of 138th Ave. SE (Duvall Ave. NE) and north of SE 132nd St.
(NE 2nd St.); Lindberg.
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that the annexation site contains nine
single-family dwellings, and is relatively flat with a two percent slope from west
to east. Potential wetlands affect two northern parcels. He noted that the site is
served by Fire District #25 and the Renton School District, and is within the
Renton water, Water District #90, and Renton sewer service areas.
Mr. Erickson reported that current King County zoning is R-4 (four dwelling
units per gross acre), and the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as
Residential Single Family, for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre)
zoning is proposed. The fiscal impact analysis estimates a deficit of $575 at
current development, and a surplus of $8,580 at full development, assuming a
potential of 63 new single-family homes and a new assessed home value of
$350,000. He noted the estimated one-time parks development cost of $35,383.
Mr. Erickson concluded that the annexation proposal serves the best interests
and general welfare of the City, and is consistent with City policies.
Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY
CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING. CARRIED.
MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL ADOPT THE
10.6-ACRE LINDBERG ANNEXATION AND ADOPT THE CONCURRENT
R-8 ZONING, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY LAND USE DESIGNATION.
CARRIED.
Utility: Sewer Moratorium in
East Renton Plateau PAA
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 extending the moratorium on sewer availabilities for
new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area
December 5, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 431
(PAA) for an additional six months. The current moratorium expires on
December 6th.
Rebecca Lind, Planner Manager, stated that the moratorium was enacted in
response to a citizens group, Citizens' Alliance for a Responsible Evendell
(CARE). The purpose of the moratorium was to allow consideration of a
proposed annexation petition for the East Renton Plateau prior to vesting
developable properties under King County development standards. She
reported that CARE submitted an annexation petition on November 15th that
designates an annexation boundary, and calls for an election. The petition has
been submitted to King County for certification.
Ms. Lind explained that the boundary designated by the annexation petition
does not include the entire PAA. However, staff recommends that the
moratorium continue to cover the entire East Renton Plateau PAA because some
property owners outside the petition boundary may want to be added, and
because the Boundary Review Board has the authority to modify the annexation
boundary by five percent of its proposed acreage, and there is no indication of
which areas may be either included or excluded.
Continuing, Ms. Lind reviewed the differences between the Renton and King
County development standards for the area, such as Renton only allowing
single-family development. She reported that within 60 days of the certification
of the annexation petition by King County, Council must either approve or
reject the petition. If approved, an election date request will be made to King
County. Ms. Lind pointed out that the earliest possible election date is in April
or May.
In conclusion, Ms. Lind stated that extending the moratorium for six more
months allows for the following: Council to consider the annexation petition
without extending the sewer availabilities, a date to be set for the election, and
the registered voters in the area to determine the election outcome before
resuming sewer availabilities.
Public comment was invited.
Tom Carpenter, 15006 SE 139th Pl., Renton, 98059, stated that he is an elected
member of the Four Creeks Unincorporated Area Council that represents three
voting districts inside the East Renton Plateau PAA. He expressed his support
for extending the moratorium; however, he pointed out that annexation is not
going to handle the area's decreasing quality of life issues in a timely manner.
Mr. Carpenter stressed that an interlocal agreement between Renton and King
County is needed that addresses the movement of funds to support planning
efforts for the area, and establishes design standards. He indicated that King
County Councilmember Reagan Dunn is prepared to support such an agreement.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler reported that Renton is already in discussion with King
County regarding this issue.
Gwendolyn High, President of CARE, 13405 158th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059,
urged Council to extend the sewer moratorium. She explained that CARE sees
the moratorium as one of many critical steps being undertaken in the
community through the larger annexation discussion and process. Ms. High
indicated that the moratorium builds on the positive momentum already
growing in the community, and it provides opportunity for the preservation of
the community's character and quality of life.
Garrett Huffman, South King County Manager of the Master Builders
December 5, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 432
Association of King and Snohomish Counties, 335 116th Ave. SE, Bellevue,
98004, stated that extending the moratorium has consequences in that he is
aware of one particular developer who wants to develop a property, and does
not know whether Renton or King County development standards will apply.
Mr. Huffman asked the City to expedite the process.
Fred Herber, Bennett Development, 12011 NE 1st St., Suite 201, Bellevue,
98005, indicated that he is the developer referred to by the previous speaker,
and stated his preference for developing to Renton's standards. Mr. Herber
expressed concern regarding the amount of time needed for the annexation
process, which delays his project.
In response to Councilman Clawson's inquiries, Mr. Herber stated that sewer
hook-up should be available for his project by next summer, and he confirmed
that the project delay is also a result of not knowing on which development
standards to base the design.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON,
SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CARRIED. (See page 437 for resolution.)

December 11th at the Community Center.
AUDIENCE COMMENT
Citizen Comment: Hicks -
Stream Reclassification, Jones
Ave NE & NE 20th St
Barbara Hicks, 1835 NE 20th St., Renton, 98056, spoke on the topic of the
proposed stream reclassification, located in the vicinity of Jones Ave. NE and
NE 20th St., that was referred to Planning and Development Committee on
11/28/2005. She stated that reclassifying the stream to Class 5, which is an
artificial stream where no natural channel existed before, is inconsistent with
her personal knowledge of that stream. Ms. Hicks noted the lack of notification
regarding this matter and another matter related to the NE 20th St. area. She
requested that action not be taken on the stream reclassification without further
study.
Citizen Comment: Cook -
Mosier II Annexation, 140th
Ave SE & SE 136th St
F. Jay Cook, 14012 SE 133rd St., Renton, 98059, stated that he lives in the
Puget Colony Homes area, for which Renton's R-8 zoning is proposed as part of
the Mosier II Annexation. He indicated that he submitted an application to
change the zoning from R-8 to R-4, and requested a waiver of the associated
fee. However, Mr. Cook pointed out that the subject ordinance establishing R-8
zoning is scheduled for second reading this evening.
Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch explained that the Puget
Colony Homes development is part of the expanded Mosier II Annexation area,
and Mr. Cook has submitted an application for a 2006 Comprehensive Plan
Amendment to change the area's land use designation to Residential Low
Density which allows R-4 zoning. Noting that the Comprehensive Plan
December 5, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 433
designates the subject area as Residential Single Family, which only allows R-8
zoning, Mr. Pietch stated that by law, the area can only be annexed to Renton if
it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's land use designation. Mr. Pietch
pointed out that Council does have the ability to waive the $3,000 application
fee.
Mr. Cook said that it is more difficult to first establish R-8 zoning for the area,
and then change the zoning to R-4.
Councilman Persson noted that the roadways are not designed to handle R-8
zoning. Stating that he does not want to delay the annexation, Mr. Persson
suggested further discussion about R-4 zoning at a later time.
Mr. Pietsch explained that if the annexation is adopted this evening, the next
step is for either Mr. Cook to pay the fee or the City waive the fee for a possible
Comprehensive Plan Amendment to downgrade the zoning. He noted the
presence of restrictive covenants for most of the homes in the development that
limit the ability of the homeowners to subdivide.
Discussion ensued regarding the restrictive covenants, Council's ability to waive
the Comprehensive Plan Amendment fee, and the setting of a precedent by
waiving the fee. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler asked that staff compile more
information regarding this matter in time for next week's meeting.
Citizen Comment: Finnicum -
Stream Reclassification, Jones
Ave NE & NE 20th St
Karen Finnicum, 1302 Aberdeen Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, also commented on
the proposed stream reclassification, stating that she grew up at a house located
at 2001 NE 20th St. She pointed out that the house backed up to wetlands that
helped feed the blueberry farm and Kennydale Creek, and she described how
the area has changed over the years. Ms. Finnicum emphasized that the stream
runs year-round and is natural, and she asked for further review of the matter.
Councilman Clawson reported that the Planning and Development Committee
met on this issue on December 1st, and he indicated that this is not the type of
action that requires notification. He stated that he plans on leaving the item in
committee for further review, and inquired about the urgency of the matter.
Jennifer Henning, Principal Planner, stated that the developer is eager for an
answer; however, she acknowledged the interest of the community members.
She explained that the City recently adopted critical areas regulations that
classify streams as Class 1 through Class 5, and the inventoried streams are
shown on a Water Class Map. Ms. Henning noted that each stream class has a
different buffer requirement.
Ms. Henning reported that the subject stream is located on three properties, and
a pre-application meeting was held to discuss possible subdivision of the
properties. The properties contain a water feature that is considered to be part
of Kennydale Creek, and Kennydale Creek is mapped as a Class 4 stream in this
area. She indicated that the developer has requested a reclassification of the
stream from Class 4 to Class 5 through these properties, and has submitted
evidence showing that the stream qualifies for Class 5 designation.
In response to Councilman Corman's inquiry, Ms. Henning confirmed that a
Class 5 stream has no setback requirements.
Citizen Comment: Rider -
Stream Reclassification, Jones
Ave NE & NE 20th St
Susan Rider, 1835 NE 20th St., Renton, 98056, emphasized that the Kennydale
wetland system is dying, and the stream reclassification is yet one more blow to
the system. She stated that no one profits from this action but the developer.
December 5, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 434
Pointing out that the regulations are supposed to protect the environment, Ms.
Rider stressed that the creek does not meet the definition of a Class 5. She
requested further study, and notification of upcoming related meetings.
Citizen Comment: Nelson -
Stream Reclassification, Jones
Ave NE & NE 20th St
James Nelson, 1905 NE 20th St., Renton, 98056, stated that he grew up in the
area of the subject stream reclassification, and noted that he has never seen the
creek run dry. He expressed his concern that future development will destroy
the entire natural area.
Citizen Comment: Gordley -
Stream Reclassification, Jones
Ave NE & NE 20th St
Lauralee Gordley, 2010 Jones Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, stated that she is the
property owner of the stream reclassification area. Ms. Gordley pointed out that
a lot of work has been done for the reclassification, and all of the critical area
regulation requirements have been fulfilled. She reviewed the reports that were
prepared, and noted that aerial photographs show the creek was not present
before the ditch was dug. Ms. Gordley acknowledged people's concerns, but
stressed that the area has changed in many ways and cannot return to the way it
was.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that the concerned parties will be notified of the
next committee meeting. Councilman Clawson reiterated that this issue merits
further review.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Committee of the Whole
Budget: 2006 Annual City of
Renton
Council President Briere presented a Committee of the Whole report regarding
adoption of the 2006 budget ordinances.
Property Tax Levy. The preliminary information provided by King County,
and used to develop the revenue estimates, provided a total general government
property tax estimate of $21,755,827. This was based on a new construction
estimate of $167,912,009. In developing the 2006 budget estimate, the property
tax estimate used contained the long-term financial forecast of $22,026,700.
This was based on an estimate of $250,000,000 in new construction. It was
believed that the estimate was a bit high, but left some room for fine-tuning of
King County's estimates.
A revised preliminary property tax worksheet was recently provided by King
County. It revised the estimate for total general government property taxes to
$22,209,409 based on $311,622,057 in new construction. The difference will
not be collected without a revision to the ordinance.
Original Budget Final
King County Estimate King County
Tax Amount 21,755,827 22,026,700 22,209,409
New Construction AV 167,912,009 250,000,000 311,622,057
The recommendation was to add $182,709 to General Fund reserves and amend
the 2006 Budget to invest in needs as identified in the priorities of government
effort and at the Council retreat. These funds cannot be spent without additional
Council action.
Fire Prevention Fees. The Committee recommended that certain fire plan
review and inspection fees be increased.
Golf Course Greens Fees. The Committee recommended that certain golf
course greens fees be increased.
Various Utilities Fees. To meet the capital and operating expenses of utilities,
as recommended by the Planning/Building/Public Works Administration, the
Committee recommended that certain utility fees be increased for surface water,
surface water utility services, special rates for senior and/or disabled citizens
and double occupancy households, the fire protection charge, minimum rates for
metered water, commodity rates, commercial customers, low-income rates,
disposal rates for sewage, and King County wastewater sewer rates.
2006 Budget. The Committee recommended adoption of the 2006 Budget,
including the following changes:
• Increase the revenue estimate in the General Fund for property taxes by
$50,000.
• Increase the revenue estimate in the General Fund for intergovernmental
revenues by $200,000.
• Increase the Police Department budget in the General Fund by $200,000 to
provide for two additional police officers
• Increase the Council budget, professional services account, by $15,000.
• Increase the reserve account in the General Fund by $35,000.
December 5, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 436
• Reduce the appropriation in Fund 316 by $4.2 million for a Parks
Maintenance Facility, and increase the Parks Maintenance Facility reserve
fund balance correspondingly.
• Reduce the appropriation in Fund 316 by $68,000 for a park in the Heather
Downs neighborhood, and increase the undesignated fund balance
correspondingly.
The Committee recommended a total, balanced 2006 Budget of $172,019,527.
The Committee further recommended that the ordinances regarding these
matters be presented for first reading.*
Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes pointed out that a revision in the
property tax estimate affects the 2006 property tax levy ordinance adopted last
week; therefore, an ordinance amending and reestablishing the property tax levy
has been prepared for first and second reading tonight.
