Emergency Motion to Set Hearing Date
Appeal of Hearing Examiner Decision to City Council
Pursuant to City of Renton Code 4.8.110(F)
Dear Members of the Renton City Council:
On July 24, 2018, we filed our"Appeal of Hearing Examiner Decision to City Council
Pursuant to City of Renton Code 4.8.110(F)"(the "Appeal"). As stated in our Appeal,the Appeal
centers on our request to extend the approval period for the Wilson Park 1 Preliminary Plat, LUA
09-140 ("Wilson Park I"). We began this lengthy appeal process 3 months ago on May 3,2018
with a letter to the Renton Hearing Examiner stating our`Request for Additional Extension
Pursuant to Renton Municipal Code 4-7-080". Currently,the Wilson Park 1 approval is set to
expire on August 16,2018.
It is our understanding that, if the City follows its normal course of scheduling, the hearing on
our Appeal may be set for a date in September. In that case,the Wilson Park 1 approval will
expire before the hearing, and we are concerned that the expiration may prejudice our rights and
remedies in the appeal.
Therefore, we respectfully request that our Appeal be scheduled so that the City Council can hear
and decide our Appeal before August 16,2018. Specifically,the City Council calendar shows a
Planning and Development Committee scheduled for August 9,2018,followed by a City
Council meeting scheduled for August 13, 2018. We request that our Appeal be heard on those
dates, and that all pre-hearing deadlines be adjusted accordingly. We understand that the
deadline for submission of additional letters is set for August 9, 2018 at 5:00 p.m., and we
request that that deadline be adjusted to accommodate the August hearing dates.
In the alternative, if the Council cannot hear our Appeal in August, we respectfully request a pre-
hearing decision confirming that if the hearing is set after the expiration of Wilson Park 1,the
expiration will not result in any prejudice to the City Council's ability to grant our Appeal or to
our right to seek an extension of Wilson Park l's approval period.
Thank you for your consideration. If you require any additional information,please do not
hesitate to contact us.
