SPECIAL PRESENTATION PSRC: Prosperity Partnership Puget Sound Regional Council Executive Director Bob Drewel and Director of Economic Development Bill McSherry gave an update on the status of Prosperity Partnership, an economic development effort that was launched over two years ago. Mr. Drewel stated that the coalition consists of over 200 partners (including the City of Renton, Renton Technical College, and the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce), and is representative of the four- county region (King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish). Mr. Drewel reported that Prosperity Partnership has already accomplished 16 of its 18 actions items for 2006, and he noted the coalition's plan to establish a measurement system that will measure approximately 22 indicators. He indicated that the regional economic strategy is a five-year plan, one goal of which is to develop 100,000 new jobs in the four-county region. Mr. McSherry reviewed Prosperity Partnership's foundation initiative concerning education, which has the following goals: increase the percentage of the region's students graduating from high school within four years; strengthen the workforce training system and improve integration of education August 21, 2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 280 in the workplace; and increase the number of bachelor and advanced degrees awarded in Washington, with emphasis on applied sciences and engineering. He noted that the Partnership will go before the legislature in 2007 asking for an increase in college enrollments to fill capacity in high demand fields such as computer specialists, engineers, life scientists, medical researchers, nurses, and secondary teachers. Mr. Drewel commented on the importance of technical and community colleges, noting that the Partnership wants 40 percent of the students who attend four- year institutions to come from these types of colleges. He pointed out that the region will need well-educated workers to replace retiring workers and to meet the demands of the new economy. In conclusion, Mr. Drewel encouraged attendance at the Prosperity Partnership luncheon on November 1. In response to Councilwoman Briere's inquiry, Mr. McSherry stated that the marketing pilot project is aimed at middle and high school students. APPEAL Appeal: Rainier Mixed Use South Parking Lot, JDA Group, V-05-133 & SA-04- 093 Planning and Development Committee Chair Briere presented a report regarding the appeal filed by JDA Group, LLC. The Committee heard this appeal on 8/17/2006. The applicant, JDA Group, LLC, appealed the Hearing Examiner's denial of its variance request and site plan. The Committee reviewed the record, the written appeal, and the presentation and oral argument by Neil Watts, Development Services Director, and Rich Wagner, Baylis Architects, on behalf of the applicant/appellant. Having done so, the Committee found that a substantial error in law exists, and accordingly, reverses the decision of the Hearing Examiner and modifies the decision by adding a mitigation measure. The subject parcels are located west of Rainier Ave. S. and north of an existing restaurant, Chang's Mongolian Grill. This site is zoned Commercial Arterial. The applicant seeks to construct a 27-stall surface parking lot on approximately 20,000 square feet of a 1.55-acre parcel on the west side of Rainier Ave. N., which connects to Chang's existing parking lot. In order to create this parking lot, the applicant would have to fill a small area of wetland and wetland buffer. The lot with a Category 3 wetland contains a partially culverted drainage stream. The applicant seeks to further culvert this drainage in order to accommodate the parking lot. In order to do so, the applicant needed to remove the trees and vegetation within 25 feet of this water course area (City Code 4-4- 130). This required a variance. Under the City Code, the Hearing Examiner reviews the variance request. Accordingly, the site plan application was also put before the Hearing Examiner. The Hearing Examiner held a hearing on 3/14/2006. He issued his decision on 4/25/2006 denying both 1) the variance; and 2) the site plan application. The Hearing Examiner found that the applicant's property failed to meet the four criteria necessary for a variance. The Hearing Examiner further concluded that the "[t]he proposal is not compatible with the environment objectives of the comprehensive plan" in that the Hearing Examiner did not find that culverting the creek would mitigate impacts. Pursuant to City Code 4-8-110F(5) and (6), the Committee's decision and recommendation is limited to the record, which consists of, but is not limited to the Hearing Examiner's report, the notice of appeal, and the submissions by the parties. Having done so, the Committee hereby finds substantial error in the Hearing Examiner's denial of the variance request. The Committee finds that the applicant's request meets the standard for a variance, is a reasonable use of the property, and benefits the public interest. Further, extending the existing August 21, 2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 281 culvert over the drainage stream will not harm the environment, and the proposed remediation measures are adequate. However, the Committee modifies the decision to include a mitigation measure to build a rockery, rather than to fill a portion of the wetland area. This rockery structure will eliminate the need to fill the portion of wetland area and further justify the variance request. The placement and structure of the rockery will be subject to the approval of the Development Services Division. MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARINGS Annexation: Leitch, SE 136th St & 140th Ave SE This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public hearing to consider the 60% Direct Petition to Annex and R-4 zoning for the proposed Leitch Annexation; 14.59 acres (including the abutting street right-of-way) bounded generally by 140th Ave. SE, if extended, on the west, 143rd Ave. SE, if extended, on the east, SE 136th St., if extended, on the north, and SE 138th St., if extended on the south. Senior Planner Don Erickson reported that eight single-family dwellings exist on the site, and noted that future development will most likely occur on the larger under-developed parcels. He pointed out that Maplewood Creek flows through the eastern portion of site, and except for the ravine on the eastern most parcel, the site is relatively flat. Mr. Erickson indicated that public services for the site are provided by Fire District #25, Water District #90, Renton sewer, and the Renton School District. Mr. Erickson stated that current King County zoning is R-4 (four dwelling units per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density, for which R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. He relayed issues raised by City staff as follows: 1) Transportation Division noted that portions of SE 136th St., 140th Ave. SE, and 143rd Ave. SE will need to be widened and improved to meet City standards; 2) Utilities Division recommended the use of King County's 2005 Surface Water Manual, Level 2 for future development; and 3) Parks Division estimated a one-time parks development cost of $20,984. Reviewing the fiscal impact of the proposed annexation, Mr. Erickson reported that the City will realize a surplus of $13,773 at full development, assuming an increase to 46 single-family homes and an average assessed home value of $450,000. He stated that the annexation proposal is consistent with City policies and Boundary Review Board criteria, and serves the best interests and general welfare of the City, particularly if it facilitates potential annexation of the unincorporated area to the southwest. Public comment was invited. William Sweezey, 13636 143rd Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, opposed the annexation, expressing concerns regarding the increase in density in the area, the wildlife that use and inhabit the Maplewood Creek ravine, the environmental impact of development on the ravine, and the close proximity of homes to each other in nearby developments. Councilwoman Briere noted that if the property is annexed, the zoning will be less dense than it is now in King County. Councilman Clawson pointed out that development must undergo a planning process, and environmental constraints will be addressed. August 21, 2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 282 There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE LEITCH 60% DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX AND AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO SUBMIT THE NOTICE OF INTENT PACKAGE TO THE BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD, INVOKE THE BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD'S JURISDICTION TO CONSIDER POSSIBLE EXPANSION OF THE ANNEXATION TO THE SOUTH AND WEST IF IT CREATES MORE REASONABLE SERVICE AREAS, AND PREPARE THE RELEVANT ANNEXATION ORDINANCES AS APPROPRIATE. CARRIED. Transportation: 2007-2012 TIP This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public hearing to consider the annual update of the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), 2007 - 2012. Peter Hahn, Deputy Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator - Transportation, stated that the TIP is a multi-year work and funding plan for the development of transportation facilities. The TIP is mandated by State law, and consequently staff evaluates the plan and makes appropriate changes in accordance with Renton's Comprehensive Plan, the Growth Management Act, and the City's Business Plan. Mr. Hahn highlighted the accomplishments of the past year, which include completing the design and starting construction on the South Lake Washington infrastructure improvements, starting the NE Sunset Blvd./Duvall Ave. NE intersection improvements, completing Phase 1, Segment 1 of the SW 27th St./Strander Blvd. connection, completing the S. 4th St./Burnett Ave. S. intersection improvements, and installing uninterruptible power supplies at signalized intersections such as Rainier Ave. Continuing, Mr. Hahn noted that the plan contains 54 projects and programs. Five new projects have been added, including intersection safety and mobility and Garden Ave. N. widening. He explained that TIP projects can undergo various adjustments and changes over time. The projects are divided into five categories, but may fall under multiple categories. Mr. Hahn reported that the total expenditure plan for the TIP is $127,747,079 of which $78,170,868 is funded and $49,576,211 is unfunded. Stating that the funding package is heavily front-end loaded, he noted that of the $78 million that is funded, 90 percent will be spent in 2007, 2008, and 2009. He reviewed the funding sources and the 2005-2006 grants obtained for projects such as the SW 27th St./Strander Blvd. connection and the Sam Chastain trail, which total $6,792,500. In conclusion, Mr. Hahn stated that 2007 will be one of the largest construction years ever in Renton. In response to Councilman Law's questions, Mr. Hahn explained that amendments can be made to the TIP every year. In response to Council President Corman's inquiry, Mr. Hahn stated that review of the one-way streets does fall into a couple of TIP program categories, and he noted some areas where the effect of one-way streets is being studied. Public comment was invited. August 21, 2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 283 Gail Wolz, 6202 113th Pl. SE, Bellevue, 98006, stated that she represents the Stop Light Now Committee, and shared statistics of accidents that have occurred at the intersection of NE Sunset Blvd. and Hoquiam Ave. NE. Stressing the need for the installation of a traffic signal at this intersection, Ms. Wolz expressed her happiness that the project has been included in this year's TIP. She asked to be kept informed of the project's funding and prioritization. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative report summarizing the City’s recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2006 and beyond. Items noted included: ” The first annual Art & Antique Walk will liven up downtown Renton streets with paintings, pottery, sculpture, and photography on August 29. ” Summer day camp programs came to an end last week. The two preschool camps, four youth camps, and one teen camp provided summer fun and activities to over 1,200 participants. ” Due to the closure of the main runway at King County International Airport (Boeing Field) to permanently repair damage caused by the Nisqually earthquake, Renton Municipal Airport is experiencing an increase in aircraft takeoffs and landings during the month of August. AUDIENCE COMMENT Citizen Comment: DeMastus - Highlands Community Association Sandel DeMastus, Highlands Community Association (HCA) Vice President, PO Box 2041, Renton, 98056, thanked those that attended the HCA meeting last Thursday. She expressed her unhappiness with the rumors that are being spread about HCA and the City, and stated that it is time to set aside differences and work together. Citizen Comment: Middlebrooks - Business Jet Center at Airport John Middlebrooks, 510 Seneca Ave. NW, Renton, 98057, voiced concern regarding the potential development of a business jet center at the Renton Municipal Airport. He stated that although outlawed for airlines, old generation leer jets, which create a lot of noise, can be used by the business and private communities. Pointing out that the airport cannot pick and choose the type of airplanes used, Mr. Middlebrooks requested that the City slow this process down and take time to evaluate the impacts on the community. Citizen Comment: Snow - NE 2nd St, Pedestrian Safety Concerns Mike Snow, 5002 NE 2nd St., Renton, 98059, expressed concern for the safety of pedestrians once NE 2nd St. is opened up to be a connection between Jericho and Duvall Avenues S. and it becomes a thoroughfare. He noted that the road is narrow, lacks sidewalks and shoulders, and is used as a route for school children. Relaying City staff concerns that stop signs will not slow people down, Mr. Snow stated his belief that stop signs will cause drivers to be more aware of pedestrians. He indicated his preference for the installation of sidewalks, but until that occurs, he suggested leaving the barricade in place or installing stop signs. Council President Corman agreed that sidewalks are needed, and he received confirmation that the substandard road was obtained by Renton via a recent annexation. Peter Hahn, Deputy Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator - Transportation, described the situation, traffic patterns, and August 21, 2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 284 available traffic control options, pointing out that the barricade is in place due to development construction. Mr. Hahn explained that although it may seem counterintuitive, stop signs are not a speed-control device and will not discourage the cutting-through traffic. Mr. Corman questioned the possibility of being able to handle these types of high-safety situations differently with King County at the time of annexation. Additionally, he commented on the possibility of using temporary traffic control measures during temporary development patterns such as this. Councilman Persson suggested keeping the barricade in place until the sidewalks are installed. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman noted that the barricade has not been formally authorized. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL REFER THE MATTER OF PEDESTRIAN SAFETY ON NE 2ND ST. TO TRANSPORTATION (AVIATION) COMMITTEE. CARRIED.

Having taken a tour of Renton's recreational facilities, Ms. Heuschel indicated that she is impressed with the City's recreational programs and services. She stated that she looks forward to a very long relationship with the Renton community. Citizen Comment: Beckley - Integrated Emergency Management Course Phil Beckley, 806 Index Ct. NE, Renton, 98056, shared his background in emergency preparedness and disaster planning, noting that he has worked for the American Red Cross. He referred to a recent article about Renton published in the Fairwood Flyer, specifically the paragraph regarding emergency management training. Mr. Beckley stressed that FEMA is the benchmark for disaster planning, and he expressed his approval of City official and staff attendance at the week-long Integrated Emergency Management Course in Maryland last Spring. He concluded that emergency preparedness is important to everyone. Citizen Comment: Beckley - Highlands Area Redevelopment Heidi Beckley, 806 Index Court NE, Renton, 98056, described her experiences when picketing an adult book store in the Highlands in 1997, pointing out that those who opposed her actions did not represent the majority. Referring to the Highlands redevelopment effort, she opined that Council gave in to the vocal minority, and the quiet majority was not represented by Council. MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL ALLOW THE SPEAKER FIVE ADDITIONAL MINUTES. CARRIED. Ms. Beckley stated her fear that people will move away from the Highlands area due to its deterioration. When the redevelopment effort is revisited, she asked that everyone's voice be heard. Ms. Beckley expressed her disappointment with the Highlands Community Association. She noted the need for neighborhood clean-up efforts. Ms. Beckley indicated her intention to form a neighborhood organization called Citizens for a Better Renton. RECESS MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL RECESS FOR TEN MINUTES.* Council President Corman expressed concern regarding the economic downturn of the Highlands area, noting that Councilmembers found themselves needing to make decisions such as whether to choose 40 to 80 unit-per-acre replacement zoning through eminent domain or to go in the direction of single-family August 21, 2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 285 homes. He indicated that he is unsure which type of zoning will ultimately bring more businesses to the area. Mr. Corman reported that he lives in the neighborhood, and his long-standing position has been that he does not want apartments next to his home. Councilman Clawson stated that there was no proposal to put in 40 to 80 unit- per-acre zoning with eminent domain. *MOTION CARRIED.
