SPECIAL PRESENTATION
AJLS: Mayor's Presentation of 2008 Budget
Mayor Keolker presented her proposed City of Renton 2008 Budget to Renton citizens and members of the City Council. She indicated that the budget message, "Building for the Future,"
realizes the City's vision, reflects the policy direction of the Council, and strengthens the foundation of the City.
Stating that the proposed 2008 Budget totals $223,702,220, Mayor Keolker pointed out that $63,351,567 represents the capital budgets, $86,747,342 the General Government budget, and
$73,603,311 the budget for other operating funds. The 2008 Budget anticipates sales tax revenues to grow by 7.6 percent over the 2007 Budget, and the capital budget includes improvements
in transportation, parks, and other enhancements to facilities and utilities. The budget also proposes eight new positions within General Government and 7.7 positions within Utility
Funds.

in transportation, parks, and other enhancements to facilities and utilities. The budget also proposes eight new positions within General Government and 7.7 positions within Utility
Funds.
The Mayor reviewed the 2007 accomplishments, noting that Renton's increase in taxable retail sales is expected at over 7 percent by the end of 2007, and its housing stock has increased
by 20 percent since 2000. The accomplishments include: The Landing Phase I; the opening of the Small Business Development Center; the completion of the South Lake Washington infrastructure
improvements; the opening of Heritage Park; the commencement of construction on the Springbrook Creek Wetland Mitigation Bank; the launching of the Visitor Information and Downtown
Assistance pilot program for the Renton Transit Center; and the commencement of the Renton Heart Month campaign.
Mayor Keolker reported that if the proposed Benson Hill Communities Annexation is approved, the area will become a part of Renton on 3/1/2008 and add nearly 17,000 new residents. She
noted that a separate plan and recommended budget was prepared that proposed adding 91 employees, along with related equipment and materials, for a total cost of $10 million. The additional
revenue generated by this area is estimated to be $8.9 million, and the State will help pay for the difference for a period of ten years. The Mayor stressed that the City will maintain
existing service levels to current residents.
Continuing, Mayor Keolker reviewed proposed changes to public safety, which includes changing the service model and structure of the Fire Department, and implementing a police cadet
program. Turning to affordable housing, the Mayor said the budget proposes establishing a fund for affordable housing, and establishing a homebuyer assistance program. Regarding economic
development, Mayor Keolker pointed out that the budget includes funds to provide staffing for special events in downtown such as the Farmers Market, and for additional landscaping in
the City's rights-of-way.
Mayor Keolker reviewed the budget's provisions for basic services and for utilities. She noted the adoption of an increase in utility rates to pay for maintenance, needed capital improvements,
and compliance with the federally mandated National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements.
Mayor Keolker described the new community accountability effort being introduced with the 2008 Budget, known as "Renton Results," which defines the core services that the City provides
to meet the needs of the community. In conclusion, she thanked City staff for their efforts, and the community for continuing to offer ideas about how to make Renton even better.
Mayor Keolker emphasized that safe neighborhoods and streets, job opportunities and a strong economy, and sound fiscal management are the principal foundations of the City's continued
prosperity.
PUBLIC HEARING
Annexation: Marshall, Duvall Ave NE & NE Sunset Blvd
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 annexation and
R-8 zoning of 7.6 acres located adjacent and immediately west of Duvall Ave. NE, just north of the commercial development at the northwest corner of Duvall Ave. NE and NE Sunset Blvd.
The western boundary is Anacortes Ave. NE, if extended, and the northern boundary is NE 17th St., if extended (Marshall).
Senior Planner Erickson explained that 26 single-family dwellings exist on this unincorporated island area, and public services are currently provided by Fire District #25, Renton water
and sewer, and the Renton School District. Existing King County zoning is R-4 (four dwelling units per gross acre), and the Renton Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Residential
Single Family, for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. He pointed out that the Planning Commission reviewed possible commercial zoning along Duvall Ave.
NE, but recommended holding off until the widening of the street occurs.

NE, but recommended holding off until the widening of the street occurs.
Turning to the fiscal impact analysis that assumes 26 existing single-family homes and 17 new single-family homes, Mr. Erickson estimated a deficit of $3,009 at current development
and a surplus of $4,429 at full development. The one-time parks acquisition and development cost is estimated at $33,102. He concluded that the annexation proposal is consistent with
City policies and Boundary Review Board objectives.
Public comment was invited.
Charles Grass (Renton) encouraged the City to change the zoning along Duvall Ave. NE to commercial sooner rather than later.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL EFFECTUATE THE 7.6-ACRE MARSHALL ANNEXATION AND HOLD FIRST AND SECOND READINGS OF THE ANNEXATION AND R-8 ZONING ORDINANCES ON 11/19/2007.
CARRIED.
APPEAL
Committee of the Whole
Appeal: Beclan Place Preliminary Plat, Beck, PP-07-041
Council President Nelson presented a Committee of the Whole report regarding the Beclan Place Preliminary Plat appeal. The Committee met on this appeal on 10/22/2007. Committee member
Terri Briere was not present. The Committee found that there is substantial error in fact and law in the Hearing Examiner's recommendation to the City Council and therefore, the Committee
recommended that the Hearing Examiner's recommendation be rejected and instead, Council grant approval of the appellant's request subject to the conditions listed below.
The subject property is the Beclan Place Preliminary Plat located at 255 Jericho Ave. NE and Hoquiam Ave. NE. The applicant/appellant, Steve Beck, submitted an application to subdivide
this 7.1-acre site into 31 lots for future single-family homes. The property is located in the R-4 zone, but is vested to R-5 standards. In its report to the Hearing Examiner, City
staff recommended approval of the plat subject to eight specific conditions, which were set out in its
report dated 8/14/2007. Condition No. 5 required the applicant to revise the preliminary plat map "to reflect an alley loaded layout for review and approval" pursuant to City Code
4-7-150(E)(5). On 8/30/2007, the Hearing Examiner held a hearing on this matter and concluded that "This office cannot recommend approval of this plat as currently configured." The
Hearing Examiner thus, recommended denial of the Beclan Plan Preliminary Plat application unless the applicant was to submit another application with an alley access.
Appellant Beck cited errors of fact and law by the Hearing Examiner. Although the appellant acknowledged the City Code provision's preference for alley-loaded access, he believed that
the requirement to place an alley in his subdivision was not feasible for various reasons. These reasons included: an increase in impervious surface area causing additional storm
detention needs, increased criminal activity resulting from alleys in residential neighborhoods, additional financial burdens in having to reconfigure and lose available lots and safety
issues resulting from conflicts in turning movements, and likely traffic backup.

the requirement to place an alley in his subdivision was not feasible for various reasons. These reasons included: an increase in impervious surface area causing additional storm
detention needs, increased criminal activity resulting from alleys in residential neighborhoods, additional financial burdens in having to reconfigure and lose available lots and safety
issues resulting from conflicts in turning movements, and likely traffic backup.
The Committee's recommendation decision is solely limited to the record, the Hearing Examiner's report, the notice of appeal, and additional submissions by parties per City Code 4-8-110(F)(6).
No new or additional testimony or evidence can be considered per City Code 4-8-110(F)(5). Based on the foregoing, the Committee found that a substantial error in fact and law exists
in the record.
The Committee reached this decision based on all the factors presented by the appellant, in that when taken as a whole and viewed under the totality of the circumstances, the requirement
of an alley in the Beclan Plat is not feasible. Furthermore, the Committee found that the Hearing Examiner incorrectly applied what is "feasible" in attempting to interpret what the
Council intended in the context of City Code 4-7-150(E)(5). Therefore, the Committee
recommended that City Council reject the Hearing Examiner's recommendation to deny the plat, and recommended approval of the plat without the requirement of an alley loaded access.
The Committee further recommended that the approval of the plat shall still be subject to conditions No. 1 through 4 and 6 through 8 set forth in the City staff's 8/14/2007 report.
Additionally, the Committee recommended that Council refer City Code Section 4-7-150(E)(5) to the proper Committee to re-evaluate the ordinance to determine whether an amendment is
necessary to limit the application of this provision to small lot subdivisions, or in the alternative, to recommend alternate changes to the language of this ordinance. MOVED BY NELSON,
SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Chief Administrative Officer 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 2007 and beyond. Items noted included:
City Hall Information Desk Volunteers were recently presented certificates of appreciation at a dinner hosted by City Clerk Division staff. Since the program's establishment in 1984,
volunteers have given over 53,000 hours of excellent service to the City.
The second "Ahead of the Curve" job fair for The Landing will be held on November 13 at Renton Technical College.
The Renton Fire Department reminds everyone that working smoke detectors save lives and a malfunctioning smoke detector provides a false sense of security.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency will host a public meeting on the new preliminary floodplain maps on November 8 at City Hall.
AUDIENCE COMMENT
Citizen Comment: Petersen - Highlands Area Redevelopment
Inez Petersen (Enumclaw) commented on the need for better maintained pavement on City streets, and also on the declaration of blight and community renewal discussed last year by the
City regarding the Highlands area redevelopment.
Councilman Clawson commented on the past consideration of the State Community Renewal Act as an option for the Highlands area redevelopment, noting that Council determined not to proceed
with using the Act. He further noted that one of the reasons the Act was considered was to preserve affordable housing in the Highlands area.
Citizen Comment: Wagner - 2007 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Christopher Wagner (King County), who is a resident of Huntington Heights Condominium (SE 176th St.) in the Benson Hill Communities Annexation area, opposed the commercial prezoning
of the Village Chapel property located at 17418 108th Way SE (2007 Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2007-M-06). He expressed his fear that the commercial zoning designation will disrupt
the peacefulness of the neighborhood, especially if the church sells the property. Listing reasons why the proposed commercial zoning does not meet Comprehensive Plan policy criteria,
Mr. Wagner indicated that a Residential Medium Density land use designation is the only appropriate designation for any parcel located on 108th Way SE.
Citizen Comment: McOmber - Highlands Community Association
Howard McOmber (Renton) expressed appreciation for the City's help in improving the Highlands area, and commented that he is grateful the declaration of blight was not used. Mr. McOmber
invited everyone to attend the Highlands Community Association's Emergency Preparedness Workshop, which will be held on November 14 at the Highlands Neighborhood Center. Noting that
the Highlands is one of the more vulnerable areas in the City due to the diversity of the residents, he voiced his hope that this workshop is the first of many to come.
