Gordon Ericksen, Planning Director, presented proposed street and arterial improvement plans pointing out that the traffic situation has reached a critical standpoint and some attempt must be made to relieve existing problems as well as to plan for anticipated future problem areas. Film slides of traffic patterns, flow maps, aerial photos of the City and proposed routes and right of way improvements were shown and traffic volumes compared ;with increases projected to 1985 as per Renton Urban Area Comprehensive Plan and the tDCentral Business Development Plan of the City's 701 Program. Traffic Engineer Del X '-; , Bennett showed slides of parking areas and planned improvements, outlining areas w proposed for improvement and costs involved. Included were Grady Way - Logan to ' ! Smithers crossing, $1,000,000.00, 3rd Avenue North, $2.,000,000.00, widening of 2nd Q: IAvenue, $2,000,000.00 and Main to Mill Street transition, $250,000.00. The State w C Highway Department improvements affecting the City will include relocation of the Benson Highway, widening of Sunset Blvd. E. from 116th Avenue to 138th Ave. S.E., L G and King County will four-lane S.E . 128th from 132nd Ave. S.E. to 176th Ave. S.E., serving to alleviate existing problems. Funding will include bond issue proposals p ? as well as application for Federal Aid. Mr. Bennett reported traffic volume in- creases on Airport Way and Rainier Avenue reaching up to 21%, and generally through- out the City a 10 to 15% increase in a one year period. The 701 Plan urges action emphasizing the core area rather than the industrial areas however, our problems are especially urgent here also. It was pointed out that The Boeing Company in 1965 covered 4 million square ft. with building space and as of January, 1967 the building space will occupy 6 million square ft. Priority items as outlined will be only an initial step to the overall. long-range improvement program for the arterial street system. This is by no means going to take care of our problems but will be considered an initial step towards alleviation thereof. Question were invited at this time and after discussion of priority items and routes of major arterials, it was moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist, that the hearing be closed. Carried. As there was no further discussion, it was moved by Hulse, seconded by Perry, that the matter be referred to the Capital Improvement Priority Committee for recommendation. Carried. Councilman Schellert advised that persons in the audience wished to participate in regard to matter of Lyman Riley property rezone from SR-1 to R-3, located on Sunset Blvd. E. The matter had been tabled the previous meeting and it was Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, to take the matter from the table for disf--nssion at this time. Carried. Communication was read containing 35 signatures of property owners in the area protesting the rezone of the property to R-3. It was pointed out that an R-2 zoning would receive less opposition. Moved by Perry., •seconded by Morris, that the audience be allowed to comment at this time. Carried. Mr. William Jones, Mrs. Betty Clouse, Mr. Carl Kever, Mr. Hubert Lange, Mr. Ed Beckley, Mr. A. L. Ames and Mr. Matt Kovak spoke in opposition to the rezone for reasons of loss of privacy, loss of property values, restrict number of persons in the area and to preserve the single family residence atmosphere of the area. Mrs. Riley, requesting the rezone, called attention to assets to be considered in the fact that the property was a long narrow strip facing Sunset Blvd. E. making it impossible for traffic or pedestrians to leave or enter the area from any place except Sunset Blvd; that it was an ideal location being close to shopping facilities, schools and as far as privacy is concerned a substantial grmwth of trees would be kept intact so as not to disturb the natural setting of the landscaping. The site is accessible to sewer facilities Ts;s the tax base of the City would be increased by the addition, and they would be willing to go along with anything the City would propose to take desires of their neighbors into consideration. Mr. Riley added that the property does not lend itself to development as it is now zoned and that he would willing to observe a 35-40 ft. buffer zone of R-2 to allow the residents of the Bo-Marc Addition some degree of privacy. Present zoning allows to 30 ft and an R-2 would permit one story or 25 ft. Discussion dis- closed that petitioners would be willing to go along with a reasonable bu-rfer zone but that it was desirable that proposals therefor be studied to determine effect it will have on adjacent areas. Councilman be laurenti displayed drawing prepared by Planning Director Ericksen providing for 157 ft. buffer zone and it was pointed out that the total property is 357 ft. Councilman Bruce upheld cause of property owners after surveying the area with respect to valuation of their homes and wishes to preserve the naturel setting and single family residential atmosphere. After further discussion of size of buffer zoite it was moved by Garrett, seconded by Morris, that action be delayed for one week giving the developer and property owners an opportunity to meet and come to some possible agreement, advising the Council of their decisions. Upon inquiry by Poli regarding enforcement of restrictions, City Attorney Shellan advised that screening provisions require separate covenant's running with the land to be executed by the owner of the property, the Ordinance only providing for the R-2 or R-3 zoning. The pending motion carried. Mayor Custer thanked the participants for the courteous and orderly manner in which they had conducted themselves during proceedings and the Petitioners thanked the Council. for visiting the site and for time 91-1-)wed on the wa+ter. -2-- Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 4-11-66 COMMUNICATIONS: An application was read from Miss Lorraine Hoffman, Owner, Spot Tavern, for Mutual Amusement Company to be granted the required license to operate a pinball machine in said place of business . Moved by Poli, seconded by Bruce, to refer the request to the Police and License Committee with power to act. Carried. A letter from City Attorney Shellan in reply to Council request for opinion regarding Vacation of portion of S .E. 72nd Street, advised that upon vacation that portion vacated will belong to abutting property owners, one-half each. Therefore, the City could not retain title to the street right-of-way and th4p dedicate it for park purposes. This could be done by the abutting property owners if they are so inclined to quit claim their interest unto the City. The street could, however, be used as an access way to the beach both for pedes- trian and vehicular traffic and possibly adjoining property could be acquired for park purposes and so designated.

In addition to raising the Blvd. to the level of the railroad crossing, storage lanes would be provided for the turn movements to enter the park and it is most desirable to complete this project this year t!aL.� requiring the Austin Company to revise the roadway they have constructed so the City will not have this cost to assume in the future. . It was recommended that since $12,500.00 has been authorized for a railroad crossing signal installation, the Mayor be authorized to order the signals and installation immediately. Recommended that $13,000.00 be appropriated for raising and improving Lake Wn. Blvd. as proposed by the City Engineer in drawing attached with bids called for as necessary and the project under the City Engineer's direction. Recommended that the City Attorney, Ways and Means Committee in conjunction with the Park Board determine whether the 13200 might be taken from the $125,000.00 .loaned to the Park Department from the Cedar River Acquisition Fund. Further recommended that the moneys remaining in Park Fund 605 (Lake Washington Beach Park Account) be used to provide sewer, water and underground electrical utility services to the park and that the Cit Engineer be authorized to obtain an easement from Northern Pacific Railroad Co. foity purposes. And concurrence was requested for the Mayor to be authorized to apply to the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission In Olympia to obtain legal access into the park over the route of the existing crossing as constructed by the Austin Company, as well as in foregoing recom- mendations. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Perry, to concur in the requests and recommendations of the Mayor as read. Carried. A letter from Mayor Custer reported voicing opposition at the Metro Council meeting of April 7th to the proposed contract between Metro and the City of Kent as instructed by theCouncil on the grounds that such an agreement was somewhat unusual and in this case extremely beneficial to the City involved to the detriment of the original Metro member cities.

Daly and Associates, relative to the Renton Airport Annex. - Apron "D", LAD Job No. 221565 and Boeing Project No. 360078, was read by the Recording Secretary. It was noted that Boeing is interested in leasing a portion of City property which lies on the easterly bank of the Cedar River Waterway, south of 6th Avenue North, described as being 81.5 feet by 882.4 feet. Because of security problems, the Boeing Company is desirous of constructing fences across this strip of land which in turn would restrict the use of public land presently accessible to all. It was _moved by Hulse, seconded by Poli, to refer this matter to the PROPERTY COMMITTEE to report back. Carried. The Recording Secretary read a letter from Planning Director Ericksen regarding a request from the Boeing Company for a permit to construct a fence on City street right of way on Garden Street. It was generally felt that the proposed fence does not involve any specific problems that would come under the ,jurisdiction of the Planning Commission. However, a permit to construct a fence or other structures on City street right of way should be on a revocable basis and subject to removal upon reasonable notice by the City, if the public interest would necessitate . Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Dahlquist, that this matter be placed in the hands of the STREET AND ALLEY COMMITTEE to investigate and report back. Carried. A d T,unication from Merrick Hindes, Concession Chairman of the Green River District, Boy Scouts of America was read by the Recording Secretary, wherein they requested that a "no-fee" permit be issued to the Scout Commissioner Staff to allow the sale of hot dogs, hamburgers, pop, etc. , at the Annual "Funforall" to be held at Liberty Park the weekend of May 21, 1966. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Hulse, that the permit be granted under the supervision of the Park Board. Carried. The Recording Secretary read a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Ray Charlton requesting that the rolls be reopened on the subject of L.I.D. 254, and stating that they had not been notified of the meeting of February 21, 1966 and were unable to protest or state their case at that time. The Charlton's stated that had they been heard they felt the Council would have ruled on their property as they did for Mr. Lavins property which lies under the same easement. Mayor Custer advised that this matter had been brought to the attention of the Council after the Assessment Roll had been approved and that the Council referred the matter to the Street and Alley Committee, who in turn requested the City Attorney to write to Mr. and Mrs. Charlton. It was noted that the City Attorney had ...,.,.written advising the Charltons that the final assessment roll had been duly approved on February 28, 1966 and inasmuch as no objections or protests were received in writing at or prior to the public hearing, such objections are then waived. The City Attorney advised that the assessments have been finalized and the City is legally in no position to make any adjustment or changes at this late stage, and read statutes confirming the legal procedure. Considerable discussion followed with Mrs. Charlton stating that they were not advised of the hearing in February and had been unable to attend the meeting in October, 1965, however, she stated that she had been advised on the telephone by the Engineering Department that easement property could not be charged for utilities as this is unusable property. The City Attorney was querried regarding the matter and stated that his only concern was whether or not the City Clerk had sent out the notice. The Recording Secretary advised that the notices were mailed and that the one to Mr. and Mrs. Charlton was not returned, therefor the Clerks Office would have no way of knowing that they had not received this notice. Mrs. Charlton stated that she advised the Engineering Department by telephone of their new address and did not feel they should be penalized for an error made by City Hall. Mr. Shellan stated that under the law the City must send out notices to the name and address as listed on the rolls and this apparently has been done. Councilman Trimm asked for the recommendation of the Fire and Water Committee and Councilman Delaurenti stated that they were following* the City Attorney's advice, and it would appear that no further action could be taken by the City. Councilman Perry inquired of the Recording Secretary how much notice is given on a public hearing and Mrs. Mead advised that it was 15 days. Mr. . Charles Guy, father of Mrs. Charlton, spoke, advising that he felt he had no alternative other than to hire an attorney to take action against the City. At this time the Mayor advised that the Council ias no other recourse, and the only alternative is for the Charlton's to take what action ' hey feel is necessary. The Recording Secretary read a letter from Dorothy and Lyman Riley relative to their property under consideration for rezone, located on Sunset Boulevard East, between M and 0 Streets. The Rileys stated that this property has all the necessary physical attributes for apartment development, making it highly desirable for the rezone, as it lies on a major arterial, in a three block strip between two B-1 zonings; and therefor ask that the Council vote on the petition for rezone in the same form it came from the Planning Com- mission, with a unanimous vote of acceptance . It was noted that this matter had been tabled at the previous meeting. Moved by Perry, seconded by Schellert, that this matter be taken from the table at this time. Carried. -3- Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 4-15-66 COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.) Moved by Perry, seconded by Hulse, that the portion of the Planning Commission recommendation which states R-3, the portion in question, be changed to R-2 and that the Council concur in the recommendation. Councilman Poli stated that R-2 was not requested by the property owner, he is requestir% R-3. Councilwoman Dahlquist stated that the Planning Commission thought this property was usable as R-3 and the man who is applying for this has not requested R-2, and she did not feel the Council could take this upon themselves to make this change. The City Attorney advised that they could not do so unless the property owner concurs in this rezoning. As a matter of clarification the Mayor asked the City Attorney if this could be done if the property owner concurred. Mr. Shellan advised that the Council could not change it to R-4 as this is a _Less restrictive zoning, but that a change to R-2,& more restrictive. use:may.be madeif property owner concurred. A vote on the pending motion failed. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Perry, that the petition opposing the rezone be read. Carried. After the reading of the petition, Councilman Poli asked Mr. Riley if he would consent to set-back or an R-2 zoning, to which Mr. Riley answered, no. Poli again inquired if Mr. Riley would be willing to take a set-back, and he replied, yes, of 40 feet. Mr. Ames stated that he had contacted Mr. Riley to discuss this matter and that he had stated that he would not consider any R-2 zoning. Mr. Ames regretted that this may be unfair to this property owner, however, he is only one and the objecting petitioners are many. Mr. Ames felt that an R-3 zoning would put a balcony exposure to every back yard in the area and he would like to stop this movement. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Hulse, that the Council not concur in the recommendation of the Planning Commission and that the zoning be left as it is for single family dwellings. Councilwoman Dahlquist expressed the opinion that the Council is making a grave mistake by not allowing the rezone to R-3 discounting the objections and recalling several million dollar assessed valuation lost by the City in prior denials for apartment and multiple use rezones. Considerable discussion followed after which vote was taken on the motion and dissenting voice vote brought request for roll call, which resulted as follows: AYE - Hulse, Bruce, Gianini, Perry, and Delaurenti, and NO - Schellert, Dahlquist, Garrett, Trimm, and Poli. Mayor Custer cast his "Aye" vote breaking the tie, and thereby denying the rezone . The Recording Secretary read a letter from Arthur D. Scholes, P. E . , Chairman of the Traffic Advisory Commission wherein it was recommended that the City Council take immediate steps to restrict parking on Third Avenue from Rainier to Main Street, on Monday through Friday, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Moved by Trimm, seconded by Perry that this matter be referred to the Committee of the Whole. Carried. A communication from the Traffic Advisory Commission was read recommending that the Renton City Council expedite the following program to alleviate the traffic congestion which presently exists within the City of Renton: (1) Proposed Logan-Smithers extension with the addition of an arterial access between Logan Street and Park Street in the vicinity of 6th Avenue North. This extension will require at-grade intersections at the North and South terminus, (2) A major East-West arterial to commence at Rainier Avenue and Airport Way and terminate at Sunset Boulevard East and 3rd Avenue North. Grade separations at Rainier Avenue and Logan Street are considered essential for this portion of the program, and (3) The widening and improvement of Sunset Boulevard East from 116th Avenue Southeast to the Eastern City limits. In making this recommendation the Commission carefully considered the Renton Urban Area comprehensive plan provided by the Planning Commission in June of 1965. Councilman Hulse stated that he would like to present the Capital Improvement Priority Committee Report at this time as it had a direct bearing on the Traffic Advisory Commission's recommendation. The Recording Secretary read the report of the Capital Improvement Priority Committee wherein it was recommended that the Arterial Street projects consisting of Logan to Smithers connection and the 3rd Avenue N )rth improvement, as presented at the Public Hearing meeting of April 11th, be referred to the LAW AND ORDINANCE'COMMITTEE for proper Ordinance to authorize bond issue to be submitted before the electorate on the November, 1966 ballot, and to refer this matter to Bonding Counsel. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist that the Council concur with the recommendations of the Committee. Carried. The Recording Secretary read a petition containing 15 signatories, starting with WNW Mr. and Mrs. J. D.

Audience comment was invited and Mr. Rudy Seppi, Director of Plant Facilities, Renton School District 403, stated there would be no objection if such a strip is reserved for pedestrian use as recommended but if none is provided then there would be strong objection by the School District to the vacation.

City Engineer Wilson advised he had no special knowledge of liability in writing his letter but felt consideration should be given now rather than to annex and find an obligation has been assumed. The pending motion to with- hold action until May 9th subsequently carried. PUBLIC HEARING - Plat and zoning for Royal Hills - Appeal of Planning Commission decision.

Members Pete Curran and John Lotto and the new hospital Administrator Bill Murray, and advised of many months of consideration, investigation and meetings to arrive at current determinations which were felt to be in the best interest of the taxpayers, it being concluded the rezone would bring more money to be applied on the new hospital at South 180th and Springbrook Road. It was pointed out that there will need to be a rezone for utilization of the property and now would be the time to rezone when benefit will be to the community rather than individuals. -2- 39 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting May 2, 1966 COMMUNICATIONS: Petition - Hospital property zoning - Continued Mr. Archie Graham, 408 I Street, on behalf of the Petitioners,stated they did not want their neighborhood to be turned into a commercial area, they prefer the quiet and lack of vehicular traffic alc monetary loss to the hospital is not a factor of consideration when the cost figure of a million dollars is involved.

The building itself is working beautifully with respect to traffic patterns and the space is being filled up and utilized very efficiently. Many compliments have been received and especially from out of State residents. Their big problem at the present time is to get enough books for check out the volume having doubled.

A crosswalk exists but the signal system allows no "safe" crossing phase for pedestrians from the railroad track to the sidewalk across Houser Way (near Volkswagen agency) . It would appear the only solution lies in the installation of an activiated pedestrian crossing signal which would stop traffic from entering the intersection altogether.

Felker, Attorney for Chester Biggens This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. As there were no new communi- cations verbal comment was invited and Planning Director Ericksen was requested to report. A map was displayed and the subject area pointed out. The area is surrounded both on the North and South by other apartments and to the West by single family residence, and the variance was requested to permit an additional one bedroom unit.The overall total lot area requirements of the ordinance would be lacking by 728 feet, for the number of units proposed which is three 2-bedroom units and one 1-bedroom unit; and the Commission denied the variance on this basis it being felt a hardship did not exist Mr. Felker, representing Mr. Biggens stated that a hardship does exist as essentially all of the property could be utilized with a variance 'as requested and economically it was not feasible,as recommended by the Commission to build four 1-bedroom units,and in lieu thereof he would probably add a carport which would be of no benefit as he has adequate parking ground. He will construct the same building in any event and if the one-bedroom unit is allowed the property will be utilized to the best reasonable use and benefit which cannot be done now. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Poli, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Dahlquist, that the variance be granted, to allow relief of hardship of not being able to build to the extremity of the property End permitting mare apartments than he could build without the variance. In discussion which ensued Mr. Biggens called attention to his past rental operations in the City over a period of some 25 years and prior restrictions on his apartment construction through printing error in the zoning code calling attention to his 8-unit apartment instead of 11 unit as planned due to inability to wait until a revision was made. He advised he wished permanent construction and permanent residents which experience has found cannot be maintained in single bedroom units. After some further comments on whether the situation constitutes a hardship and possible establish- ment of precedence, voice vote was taken and the motion declared lost. Roll call vote was requested and resulted as follows: Aye: Bruce, Dahlquist, Pedersen, Perry, Delaurenti, and Poli. No: Hulse, Schellert, Garrett, Trimm and Morris. The motion carried granting the variance. PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal of Planning Commission decision in rezone denial of request ., from R-2 to R-3 - Realty Investors property This being the date set,the hearing was declared open. There were no communications to be read and Planning Director Ericksen was requested to comment. Mr. Ericksen reported that the area is in the Highlands and there are apartments in the area at present. R-2 zoning is adjacent to the North with Single Family on the East and to the South the Highland duplexes and nearby the Earlington School and the property in question is on 8th Avenue North between "H" and 11J" Street. A map was displayed and it was pointed out that the existing development was constructed by special permit issued April 28, 1965. The present request is to allow construction of additional 24 units, 12 units and 12 units and in the original permit the Commission was concerned about protection of the adjacent single family areas. There was some question regarding setback, the proposed unit being within 5 ft. of the lot line at one point and 10 ft. at another. The original proposal was for 25 units on the lot on which he wishes now to construct another 54 or so. The Commission felt the previous granting of a special permit pro- vided adequately for the area that he was constructing in,although the Comprehensive Plan does indicate this as Multiple Use Area. The existing construction is two story but is partially underground so that only 11- stories are above. Audience comment was invited and Mr. Douglas Felker, Attorney for Mr. Smiley, pointed out .that there is no opposition from any of the adjoining property owners to what is being proposed.The plans as submitted would be adjusted to conform to setbacks where necessary. R-3 zoning allowances were discussed and the fact that land use maps would agree in event of rezone as requested. It was pointed out he could construct the two story buildings if a part were again buried or underground but Mr. Smiley wished to build above the ground. Mr. Felker pointed out that the structure is only 22 ft. high and not high rise apartments. Upon inquiry regarding height Mr. Smiley stated the parking require- ments prohibited 3-story construction. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Delaurenti, the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Schellert, to continue the hearing for two weeks to allow the Council Members to investigate the proposal further. Upon inquiry it was reported that 5 Commissioners acted on the matter at the time of denial. Upon voice vote, the motion was declared lost. Roll call vote was requested and resulted as follows: Aye: Schellert, Dahlquist, Pedersen, Delaurenti and Poli. No: Hulse, Bruce, Gianini, Garrett, Trimm, Delaurenti and Morris. The motion lost 7 to 5. Moved by Trimm, seconded by Schellert, to concur with the action taken by the Planning Commission in denial of the rezone. Voice vote was declared to be in the majority and the motion carried. Roll call was properly requested and resulted as follows: Aye: Hulse, Schellert, Gianini, Garrett, Trimm, Perry, Poli and Morris.

There were over 3000 boy scouts in Liberty and Cedar River Parks and they were commended for the very fine condition in which the area was left and for the smooth way the whole program was run. Councilman Hulse added his commendation to that of Mr. Perry's and expressed hope the Scouts could return to Renton for this event. Councilman Perry advised it would not be for another 3 years as Auburn and Kent were scheduled for the next two years. New Business: President Hulse announced a Committee of the Whole meeting on May 31st for discussion of new city hall plans and it was hoped that attendance would be good as without a quorum no official action can be taken. Insurance Commissioner Gebenini advised he had been asked by the Insurance Carrier to be relieved of carrying the binder which was issued to May 30th, and the Council may end it at midnight tonight or run it until expiration date and he felt the Council should make such decision. After discussion regarding clerical work which might be required by the new carrier it was moved by Pedersen, seconded by Bruce, to allow the binder to run to May 30th,the expiration date . It was pointed out that a motion is not needed as the binder runs until then anyway. The pending motion carried. Perry recalled action of the Legislative Committee in recommending that the Council support initiative 226 and moved that in the event any presentation is made to the .`.. public that the Legislative Committee take charge of doing so. The motion was seconded by Trimm and Perry reminded the Council that the matter had been referred to the Com- mittee of the Whole by the Public Relations Committee's recommendation and subsequently the Legislative Committee for information. Action of taking it from one Committee and placing it in another prior to report was questioned. Hulse advised action had not been taken as yet because of lack of quorum when the matter came up and that the Legislative Committee had been asked for a recommendation. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist that the motion be referred to the Committee of the Whole . Perry advised he would like further information regarding taxation consequences if the initiative is passed. Garrett reported a visit to Auburn with Chester Biesen, President of the Assn. of Wn. Cities to discuss this initiative and it was felt he would come to Renton to explain the same thing if it was the desire that he do so. The Budget Committee report was shown to Mr. Perry and it was pointed out that 10% of the Sales Tax would revert to Cities on a per capita basis if the initiative is successfully placed before the electorate and pastes. Councilman Hulse added that it would result in about $300,000.00 to the City of Renton. Perry inquired where the additional money would be raised by the State to meet the payments to the Cities and stated he would like more information prior to giving the initiative support. Garrett inquired where the City will get the $300,000.00 if they don't get it from the State. Schellert pointed out that the factor under consideration at present is whether to put the matter to a vote of the people and opposing it would be denying the people the right to vote. Th s was not disputed and the pending mQtion was voted upon and carried referring the matter of motion to present to the public, to the Committee of the Whole. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Dahlquist, that City of Renton Vouchers, Nos. 3528 - 3618 • having been previously approved by the Auditing and Accounting Committee, be approved by the Council for payment.

Carried. PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal of Planning Commission Decision - Royal Hills (Continued from 5-2-66) This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communication was read from Gordon Ericksen, Planning Director, recalling previous action of the Planning Commission and subsequent revisions by the Plattor since the denial to bring Royal Hills Plat into conformance to Code requirements, except for areas where variances are being requested. Access has not been fully resolved but it is anticipated this can be worked out with further study. In view of the steep terrain and potential flood areas it was pointed out that the City should resolve the question of public liability prior to approval of the final plat. A letter from Livingstone, Moore and Wallace, Inc. called attention to the variances requested due to topography conditions and of willingness to develop within limitations of not being detrimental to the neighbors and the comprehensive plan, and that they were working toward suitable access. Possibility of slides, the developers responsibility,is m.ntrolle-d,as shown oh the Preliminary Plat and will be detailed in the development plans to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. A Hold Harmless Agreement was recommended by the Planning Director concerning the City's liability. It was felt that adjustments had been made on all items concerned and approval of the Preliminary Plat ,as revised on June 6th with variances as outlined , was requested. Mr. Kay Sanwick, Jr. , one of the owners of the property,pointed out the various right-of-way easements and terrain difficulties they have been faced with and that the Sparkman-McLean Company, one of the major investment Companies, is the property owner and proper development would be assured with their only desire being to secure approval to commence,• t-xpediting resolve of the- problems; Mr. Francis Holman, 15520 - 120th Ave. S.E., on behalf of the some 38 residemts of Tiffany Park area objected to the use of S.E. 154th as an access route to the property and Mr. Malcolm Blom added his opposition to such use of the street. Mrs. Anne Peopwski stated that 154th goes through the corner of her block and the traffic is bad enough now. A map was displayed of the subject area and possible access routes denoted. Mr. Kennedy pointed out that 154th was designated as an arterial on the old Plat of Tiffany Park to conform to the City's arterial street plan and that they are presently working with the new owners of Sendai Crest, the new name for the Tiffany development, to come up with new access. After further discussion regarding recreational development within the area, it was moved by Perry, seconded by Pedersen, that the hearing be continued to July 11, 1966 with referral to the Planning Commission for consideration of the Plat as per-proposed revisions. Carried. PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal of Planning Commission decision - Stoneway Concrete, Inc. Denial of Variance request for addition to existing shop building A letter was read from the Planning Director recalling actions of the Commission in .�. its denial, the structure proposed to be constructed to the edge of the highway right of way line (19ft. 6 inches into the right of way,)-. The State Hwy. Department is studying the widening of said highway to 4 lanes, which need therefor has not yet been resolved as far as the additional right of way is concerned. Also, traffic conditions in the vicinity of applicants property present serious public safety problems and potential accident hazard which should be given attention in future development. A letter from P. J. McKay, of the State Highway Department, recommended the addi- tion be kept out of the right-of-way, that access be made to SR 169 by way of the City Hall road rather than building another access to the new shop building, and that a 20' setback from the right-of-way be observed, as they plan to develop the highway in the near future. -2- G3 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 6-6-66 PUBLIC HEARING: Stoneway, Inc. (Cont.) Audience comment was invited at this time and Mr. Kay D. Jones, Executive Vice- President, of Stoneway advised that the local firm had ,just been purchased and merged with Kent-Highlands, Inc. and plans were outlined for relocation of part of the facilities, and in 4 to 5 years a complete modernization and revision is to transpire. It is planned to move the operation from the East side of the highway and the top of the hill where storage area now exists and to develop this property. Methods of handing the aggregate and rather than dumping on the ground it will be taken to the plant and stored in silos. The new trucks which are now in operation are too large to be lubricated by the present facility and the request for variance was to allow an addition providing for lubrication. Mr. Jones also expressed desire to place temporary office structure on the property next to the existing building, which facility would be moved when the City or State requested. They have yet to determine location of the main shop and the personnel building, but have felt Renton would be the desirable place. It is now felt that perhaps the construction might be built so that on 6 ft. projection variance would be required. Part of the facility will be taken down to allow additional parking for trucks and to create a better traffic pattern in the yard. Mr. McKay, from the State Highway Department, advised that there would be no objection if the facility can be moved. Upon inquiry, Mr. Johns stated that the shop facility, once established could not be moved, but the temporary office bldg. would be movable. Council inquiry was invited and after discussion regarding the proposed change since the Planning Commission denial, and subsequent request for additional structure and time element, it was moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist, to continue the hearing to June 27th and to refer the matter to the Planning Commission for recommendation on the new proposals. Carried. PUBLIC HEARING: Capital Improvement Priority Committee - General Government-City Hall - presentation This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Committee Chairman Hulse invited Mr. David Johnston, of Johnston-Campanella-Murrkami &Co. to preside. Mr. Johnston distributed a program outlining the tentative plans prepared for the new City Hall which sets forth by Department, the present number of employees and the future based upon needs anticipated with a population of 50,000 persons. Square footage of each department was delineated and comparisons had been made with other cities and each department had been contacted regarding its needs,as well as con- sultations with the Mayor and Council via Capital Improvement Priority Committee being held. The possibility of some revision by reason of departments not being located in City Hall was discussed along with facilities which might be available for public meetings, the new library at present being available only for library- orientated gatherings. Rental space was discussed and the total area, computed by the architects on departmental requirements which resulted in compilation of all requests and calculations was 41,840 square feet. The present facility has a total area of 23,900. The area cost was figured at $25.00 per sq. ft. and totaled $1,046,000.00. Contingency recommended of 5% = $52,000.00 and taxes, survey, soil tests, etc. $132,000.00 with total construction cost of $1,230,000.00. Councilman Perry pointed out that this is strictly for construction and does not include any furnishings, and inquired regarding the funding. Councilman Hulse reported that this hearing was to provide some estimates of what is to be financed and some of the Primary information to acquaint the public with the basic needs of the project. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Perry, to refer the proposed program for a City Hall facility to the Committee of the Whole. Carried. Councilman Hulse recalled that Public Hearings have been held on Arterial Street and Park programs which will lead to bond issues on the ballot this fall. The Capital Improvement Priority Committee recommends that the new city hall project be funded from limited G. 0. Bonds, coming from the general millage of the City. _ Councilman Schellert added that a bond issue for $1,000,000.00 with assessed valuation of the same and estimate of 4% interest would require a millage levy of .95 mill or about 1 mill from the cit'ys 15 mill levy and would not add to the burden or raise the taxes, but it would mean tightening up on the budget to remain within the millage limitation. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the funding by limited G.O. bonds as recommended by the Capital Improvement Priority Committee. Carried. Upon inquiry, Mayor Custer advised he would appoint a committee to work with the architects next week. -3- 64 Minutes-Renton City Council Meeting June 6, 1966 COMMUNICATIONS: A letter from Jack Wilson, City Engineer, submitted and recommended for payment, Estimate No. 3 in sum of $21,993.60, payable to contractor, Western States Con- struction Company for work to date in covering of the Highlands Reservoir. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Hulse, to refer the Estimate to the Auditing and Accounting Committee with power to act. Carried. A petition was read containing 63 signatures requesting that the City take action to abate the ha--3rd and nuisance existing on lots in the Tiffany Park area which contain open basements left undeveloped for the past two or three years. Moved by Morris, seconded by Hulse, to refer the matter to the Building Department for enforcement of regulating statutes. It was pointed out that subsequent action had resulted in fencing but, this fence.: is down and the area is no longer protected. It was pointed out that the excavations are hidden by grass and weeds and that water lies in some areas. It was recommended that the problem be eliminated by filling. The pending motion carried. A letter from Gene L. Coulon, Park Director, requested authorization to call for bids for a shelter building at Kiwanis Park, plans and specifications having been prepared upon Park Board instructions. June 27th was the date recommended for the bid opening. Moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the bid call and date for bid opening. Carried. A letter from the Living Memorial Association of Kennydale requested the City of Renton to join forces with King County to initiate a bond issue to go before the electorate for acquisition of approximately 140 acres of land, including May Creek, for a wilderness park and recreation area. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Schellert, to refer the communication to the Capital Improvement Prior V Committee. Carried. A letter from Hallie Smiley petitioned the City for reconsideration of its decision to deny rezone of certain properties to R-3 inasmuch as the only objection was setback requirements and the owner has expressed willingness to comply with every respect to the Building Code including the setback requirements. Also there were no objections from adjoining property owners and the denial will work an undue hardship by reason of the fact that excavation of a substantial quantity of earth will be required in order to comply with R-2 zoning, requiring expensive and un- necessary investment in bulkheads and rockeries. The denial has jeopardized the proposed financing without which owner will be deprived of opportunity to utilize his property to the best economic benefit to him and to the community as a whole. If further information is required it was requested that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission. It was pointed out that the Planning Director was in accord with the application after compliance of all building code require- ments had been assured. Upon inquiry regarding this agreement, Planning Director Ericksen recalled that Council had at its previous meeting asked if he were in agreement with the zoning and his reply was that it appeared the comprehensive plan does indicate multiple use, although this would abut right onto single family residence area. Audience comment was invited and since there was no one represent- ing the petitioner Council inquiry followed as to proper action for reconsideration which it was pointed out would take a motion from member who had voted on the pre- vailing side previously. It was notad -that:_nothing was changed br added-since } :ior ae- *Lon.Moved by Garrett, seconded by Schellert, to take up item F. on the Agenda. The motion carried. Delaurenti opposed. A letter from Canteen Service, Inc. requested master license to operate music machines in the City of Renton. Moved by Poli, seconded by Schellert, to refer the application to the Police and License Committee with power to act. Carried. A letter from Paul W. Houser, Municipal Judge, called attention to the need for additional part time help and requested appropriation of $1,400.00 excess revenues for such purposes, $1,711.00 having been received over anticipated annual revenue in parking fines as of the end of April, 1966. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Morris, to refer the matter to the Ways and Means Committee. Carried. A letter from Planning Director Ericksen reported Planning Commission recommendations from its public hearing meeting of May 25, 1966 as follows: 1. Renton Housing Authority Appl. R-323-66 for rezone from GS-1 to R-3, property located east of K street in vicinity of 13th Place and 13th Place North, same being in agreement with the Comprehensive Plan.

Planning Commission recommendations " 2. William Coutts, Appl. R-324-66 for rezone from S-1 to R-3 of property located between 90th Avenue South and 91st Avenue South, which is in agreement with the Comprehensive Plan.Moved by Poli, seconded by Schellert, to concur with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Carried. Letter was read from the Great American Insurance Company confirming insurance coverages under Comprehensive General Liability policy as quoted through C. & M. Realty Insurance Agency, Fred Callen, Agent, effective May 30, 1966. A letter from City Attorney Shellan reported regarding Court Case - Stimson vs. City of Renton et al, that the trial was held before the Hon. Solie M. Ringold on May 31st and lasted until this date, and since no testimony was given that the A acres was no longer useful, the Court found that the City could not legally effectuate an exchange and the proposed transaction with The Boeing Company and/or Puget Sound Power and Light Company cannot be consumated and the beach site will have to remain in its present condition. Mr. Shellan suggested that it might be advisable to submit to the next legislature some proposal to modify the existing law so as to give the City Council some authority to provide for an exchange without having to determine that existing property is "No longer useful" . A letter from City Engineer Jack Wilson and Traffic Engineer, Del Bennett, recalled application made by the City of Renton for E .D.A. Funds for improvement of Logan- Smithers Street from Grady Way to 6th Avenue North and for a portion of 3rd Avenue North from Pelly Street to Logan Street. The urgency and deadline for this appli- cation was such as to prohibit the neFessary engineering required in order to make a sound cost analysis. Several unique engineering problems, the proposed under- crossing of the Milwaukee Railroad at 4th Avenue, Logan and Airport Way, the con- nection of Smithers to Grady Way and the right-of-ways needed for construction, must be given further study as to feasibility and cost. It was requested that the Council give immediate consideration to retain a Consulting Engineering firm to review the application and make any necessary revisions as may be necessary. It was also doubtful that without aid the proposals for bond issue for street im- provements, as intended by the Capital Improvement Priority Committee' could- make the deadline required for the November election. Estimated cost for EDA reiew by consultant is $2,500.00 and estimate of cost for preliminary design and engineering for the proposed street bond issue is $23,000.00. It was pointed out that the EDA Application can be revised but action must be taken immediately so that the new estimates can be submitted prior to decision being made on the City's final appli- cation. Capital Improvement Priority Committee Chairman Hulse submitted report of the Committee recommending that the consultant be retainedias recommended. It was pointed out that the $2,500.00 fee warranted funding from the Arterial Street Fund for the phase of EDA Application revision but that the second phase fnnding�,b.oxd4 ssue estimates,must be given consideration. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli, to concur in retention of a consultant with referral of the funding of the $23,000.00 to the Ways and Means Committee. Carried. A letter from City Engineer Wilson submitted proposed Resolution on the North Renton Interchange grades,referenced as C.S . 1713 and 1714, PSH No. 1 (SR 405) ?rd PSH No. 2 (SR 900), and PAI No. I-4(`503 (262 159) and State Project. Resolution c� option was recommended. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Garrett, to refer the matter to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Carried.

A letter was read from Planning Director Ericksen advising that the Planning Commission in its considera- tion of the proposed rezone had made findings that the 90-units ultimately planned for the area under the proposed R-4 zoning would require use of Bonneville Power Line Right-Of-Way for parking and that the high density proposed is not compati- ble with the adjacent properties being developed as single family residential. The Commission had felt the Bonneville Power Line Right of Way should serve as a dividing line between multiple residential and single family residential uses. The access to the area will be through a single family residential area which it was felt would have a detrimental effect. Mr. Ericksen displayed a map of the area and designated existing R-1 and Multiple Residential now under develop- ment. Upon inquiry regarding the development under construction at present it was pointed out that the power line divides the two areas and the Corrmission had felt this line should separk^te the multiple from single family area to the East. Upon inquiry Mr. Ericksen stated there were no objectors but that much of the adjoining property is vacant at present. Audience comment was invited and Mr. Charles Redmon stated that the property,he feels,is better suited for apartments than residences and that the power line can be utilized and will be maintained whereas a number of private owners might not wish to add maintenance of this to their own properties, there being almost an acre which they can use for the apartments as parking and recreation areas. Also other multiple uses are in evidence in the area East of the right-of-way and just across the right of way and their apartments would fall right into the scheme of plans. The water and sewers are available and the proximity to the schools will make it a good place for families with children to live. Two finance companies have agreed to make the funds available for apartments in the subject location and it was felt the project would be of good quality and an asset to the City. The right-of-way problem would not be great as there is an access road along the power line right of way and only 150 ft. of development would be required to bring the street up to the property off Puget Drive. During ensuing discussion it was pointed out that the area is designated as low density multiple use on the Comprehensive Plan but that the Commission in its review had indicated a change to single- family use,there being too great an extension of multiple use in the area, now designated from rolling hills clear to Petrovitsky Road. Garrett pointed out that anyone purchasing the property would be under the impression that it was to be multiple zoning and might be guided by the color indicated on the plan. Mr. Ericksen advised the applicants cez advised of the Commission thoughts for changing the plan. After further discussion regarding density and present±,single family residences abutting the right of wa}s and pros and cons thereof, it was moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Dahlquist that the appeal be granted and the zoning allowed as requested with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee for Ordinance. After inquiry as to precedent ar:d~possibility of estahlistring.zonings where prop.: ties 'abut right-of-ways which might be consistent in all like instances, Schellert expressed concern of setting a precedent and offered a motion to allow R-4 200 ft. from right of way line and remainder of the property be zoned to low R-2 density as indicated by the land use map. The motion was not seconded and vote was taken on the pending original motion. The Chair declared .a majority. aye'. v6te and the motion carried. COMMUNICATIONS : A letter from Boy Scouts of America, Chief Seattle Council, by Sam Barnhart, Chairman, Funforall and Robert S. Epperson, District Scout Executive, Green River District, thanked the City of Renton for its cooperation and many services in the 1966 Funforall held in Liberty and Cedar River Parks. 2200 boys and 700 adults participated and the contribution by the City was felt to have attributed to the success of the production.

A letter from Mayor Custer reported that three new patrolmen had been provided for in the 1966 budget and that to date two have been hired. Since recent examinations have produced two outstanding and well-qualified candidates for the position and since there is urgent need for additional police officers it was requested that Council authorize hiring of both men. There are adequate funds in the Police Department salary account to hire both men for the remainder of the year without additional funding. A letter from Police Chief Williams was attached which also requested the extra man, one to be available July 15th and the other immediately. Moved by Morris, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the recommendations of the Mayor. The motion carried. Letters read from the Pacific Coast Railroad Company, R. M. Boyd, Land & Tax Agent, submitted Permit #168 covering a 10 3/4 inch casing pipe for water line under the Boeing spur at railway survey station 2+90 at Renton, and #169 for sanitary sewer 10-inch line at railway survey station 1+65. Mayor Custer advised that this c-vers installations at the entrance to Lake Washington beach park authorized by the Council pursuant to his letter of last month. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli, that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the agreement permits. The motion carried. A letter from the Maynris Youth Guidance Committee was read which recommended that the request for teenage dances at corner of Bronson Way and Garden Street be approved subject to the following conditions: (a) . Hours be 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., (b) . Age limit be 16-20, (c) Adequate supervision be maintained, (d) No drinking or smoking on the premises and no drinking in adjacent parking areas, (e) Building be approved by the Fire Department, (f) Police Department approve traffic and crowd control. Discussion ensued regarding a type of permit for a first dance try-out. Upon inquiry,Mr. Tonkin advised that they had been desirous of holding a dance next Saturday and that the Youth Guidance group mentioned license which would be revocable at any time. Councilman Delaurenti requested an opinion from Police Chief Williams who pointed out problems which might result with granting such permission, enumerating -building itself is not too large, parking facilities are limited, the location is adjacent to residential area and noise will be a problem, they intend to advertise by radio which will bring a number of outside people into the community on weekends; and they wish to hire off-duty police officers which we do not have available now for our own needs let alon: for this type of work. Chief Williams advised that when a large group of people come into the community they are not especially concerned with Renton and their conduct is not always as it should be, noting that Lake Hills dances seendngly run on a high plane have been reported otherwise. Mrs. Dahlquist commented that Renton needs a place for its young people and she would like to see the dance tried;that something should be done for the youth in Renton as in other cities and that the Police should be encouraged to participate in helping with the young people as they do for the adults. Discussion ensued regarding radio ad- vertising and Mr. Tonkin advised they could not operate successfully without this means of communication. City Clerk Nelson made inquiry relative to governing ordinance for this type of activity. The present license ordinance Lovering a dance hall requires persons attending without guardians or parents to be 18 years of age and also states no permit can be issued to anyone except when the dance is to be held in a licensed dance hall or Fraternal or Service Organizations location. The Cabaret Ordinance might also cover this type of operation but also..Amposes the restrictions relative to the age. Upon inquiry, City Attorney Haugan stated that present Ordinances do not call for any permit as discussed and that the Ordinance would need to be amended for such provisions. Upon inquiry, Mr. Tonkin advised the Fire and Building Departments have been working with them and have given the necessary building remodeling which will need to be completed, and that he thinks the dance would be a good thing for Renton and will help to bring the young people back from Lake Hills. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Dahlquist, to refer the matter to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Discussion ensued as to action the Council wishes t e Committee to take, it being felt that policy would be involved and should require action of the full council. It was pointed out that the Ordinance needs to be revised before any request can be given consideration and vote was taken on the pending motion. Upon dissenting voice vote, roll call was requested by two members and resulted as follows: Aye: Bruce, Schellert, Dahlquist, Pedersen, Garrett, Trimm, Poli and Morris. No: Hulse, Perry, and Delaurenti. 8 aye votes and 3 no votes were cast and the motion carried. -3- ,7S Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 6-20-66 COMMUNICATIONS : (Cont.)

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal of Planning Commission decision on variance denial, Stoneway Concrete, Inc. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communication was read from Planning Director Gordon Ericksen, reporting Commission recommendation for denial. It was felt that future widening of the highway isimminent and the need for additional right of way has not yet been resolved so permanent structure addition was not in accordance with Highway Department recommendations nor in the public interest. Mr. Kay Jones, Executive Vice-President of Stoneway, advised that the 6 ft. setback was absolutely essential if they were to operate the lubrication shop on the premises, as had been outlined at prior hearing on the matter. It was felt that transfer of the equipment and shop would not be beneficial to their operation but that its location in Renton would be of benefit to the City and that it should be kept here, an addition to the existing structure being requested with 6 ft. projection into the setback area. As there was no further audience comment it was moved by Trimm, seconded by Poli, the hearing be declared closed. Carried. The hearing was closed and council action was invited. The Commission had granted conditional permit for a temporary office structure adjacent to the existing office building, which could be moved if necessary upon widening of the highway, however it was felt permitting of the variance for the lubrication and tire shop would present future problems for Stoneway and was not in the public interest with contemplated widening of the highway.

Moved by Garrett, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur in the recommendation of the Committee of the Whole. Carried. 4. Mrs. Dahlquist had indicated her interest in attending a meeting of the Institute of Traffic Engineering in Sacramento, California for one week,beginning on July 11, 1966, and it was recommended that she be authorized to attend as a .representative of the City. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur in the recommendation. Carried.

Storm Sewer be awarded low bidder South End Concrete Products, Co., Inc. in sum of $8,200.00 and that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the contract upon its approval as to form by the City Attorney. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli, to concur in the recommenda- tions. Carried. A report of the Street and Alley Committee submitted by Chairman Garrett, recom- mended the following on matters referred to the Committee in previous council actions: 1. Meeting with Transamerica Development Co. regarding request for street im- provements to Ethier Road and Grant Street and possible City participation. It was recommended that Transamerica submit proposal suggesting extent of City par- ticipation in an L.I.U. 2. Mayor's Youth Guidance Committee recommendations for safety measures of in- stallation of additional crosswalks where needed and blinker lights at all school approaches. The crosswalk installation has been based upon a study of conditions and it was recommended that the Youth Guidance Committee designate any specific areas where they would request crosswalks and direct same to the City's Traffic Engineer, Del Bennett. Regarding blinker lights to provide warnings at schools this type of installation is extremely costly and should be reserved for very hazardous intersections and not used merely as an indication of a school area. If particular areas are in mind a recommendation would be appreciated and should be transmitted to the Traffic Engineer for study. 3. Bids for widening of the Logan Street Bridge were considered and it was the recommendation of the Street and Alley Committee that all bids be rejected, since they exceed engineering estimate by $12,000.00.

After explanation by Del Bennett of traffic patterns to result, it was moved by Hulse, seconced by Schellert, to concur in the Street and Alley Committee recommenda`iors., Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 6-27-66 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: (Cont.) Councilman Perry submitted letter from City Attorney Ste llan, directed to the Law and Ordinance Committee Chairman, stating that the Planning Commission minutes of April 27th show the Charles Redmon rezoning to be questionable and showing no final action by the Commission. Also, Mr. Ericksen's letter of June 20, 1966 to the City Council indicates that the Comprehensive Plan as it now exists, according to the Commission shows this area to be for Single Family Residence use. The Minutes of the City Council meeting of June 20th quoted Mr. Ericksen as allocating a "low density multiple use" to the subject area which would indicate either R-2 or R-3 use. The action of the Council seemed to indicate that the property is to be rezoned R-4 which would be high density multiple use. It was requested, prior to any rezoning action being finalized, that the interpretations be reconciled and it would seem that some further action would be necessary to be sure the proposed rezoning complies with the broad outlines of the Comprehensive Plan, or to amend the Plan in the alterna- tive. Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Hulse, to refer the matter to the Planning Committee. Garrett stated he believedthat he had asked Mr. Ericksen what the Comprehensive Plan shows and believed his answer, was,it agreed with the zoning as requested. Pyr. Ericksen stated he believed the question was whether the Comprehensive Plan indicated Multiple use and that he believed he stated that it indicated,in his interpretation, there being two classes of multiple zonings, 2-4 classification and 5 or more classification, one essentially low the other high density zoning,tfat in the area in question,as i.nterpretated to the Council and he hoped to the Planning Commission, low density multiple upc is designated. Councilman Garrett advised that his question had been if the Comprehensive Plan agreed in what the requestor was asking for and he thought he got an affirma- tive answer. He believed that when he made the motion that the request be granted it was according to the Comprehensive Plan. The pending motion carried.

A letter from Mayor Custer recommended that the position of Building Director, (Class Code 469) ,be changed from Grade 26 to 27 to allow pay range of $666-810 per month rather than $636 - $771, the present range, effective as of July 15, 1966 when approved by the Council. The request was made to allow for new responsibilities and mounting workload as a result of the current building boom and is also based on changes in the market price for skilled trades, more equitably compensating for the differential in job categories. Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the Mayor's request. Councilman Morris stated that he did not intend to vote against the motion,however,he does not feel the recommended pay range is adequate for the job to .be done"nor commensurate with the ability of the man holding the position, when the salary for a Journeyman Inspector working for him should be at least that much. Also, it will be difficult to hire qualified persons to work for him with any salary less than this. Councilman Perry stated that earlier in the evening a Committee meeting had been held and Mr. Morris had made the statement that a Journeyman-Electrician's wage would be $749.00 which the State -.would be paying as of August 1. If one is not making this now working for the State he would like to know who it is. Mr. Morris stated that the rate of $747.00 is the rate which is for Journeyman Electrician and Wiring Inspectors which is what the City plans- to' hire. The present man is not only doing electrical inspections, but plumbing, carpenter, gas and other types of inspection and besides is making electrical installations in the buildings throughout the„ City, and that is why itis felt he should be getting that salary set po for the director. There was no further discussion and Mayor Custer declared the ”" pending motion carried. A letter from Chief of Police Williams advised that Patrolman Jon Northrup will be inducted into the United States Armed Services on July 18, 1966. Patrolman Northrup has been in service to the City since April 16, 1964 and has been a reliable and dependable employee.

Civil Service Commission letter reported that a leave of absence has been granted. -2- Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 7-18-1966 APPOINTMENTS: A letter from Mayor Custer requested concurrence in permanent appointment of John C.

Topics to be dis- cussed are: "Port Districts - A Powerful Ally of Planning;"Subdivision Regulations - A Necessary Ingredient"and"Grant County's Answer to Your Sweet Tooth'! Also, there will be a panel discussion on "Recreation Galore" which will feature some representa- tives from the State Parks Department, the State Game Department and the Inter-Agency Committee, among others. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Hulse, that the matter of attendance at this meeting be referred to the Planning Committee for recommendation. The motion carried. Councilman Schellert, Councilwoman Dahlquist and Councilman Garrett commented on items to their interest during attendance at the recent Institute of Traffic Engineers in Sacramento, California. Councilman Schellert reported two main points which he felt were of importance to City Officials. One was a panel discussion on Urban Transport Plans and our own Puget Sound Transportation Study is recommended as an example of a program which has met with success and acceptance in the community. It is pretty well agreed that most of the problem is implementation and pride is takent in that we, in our own street and arterial plan and capital improvement plan, have attempted to implement this master plan, so, we are actually ahead of other cities in our area. Another item of panel presentation was "Where the Freeway Meets the Street" The panel divided delegates into pro-city and pro-state groups. The cities feel the State is giving them a poor deal and the pro-state group felt the cities should not get involved. The panel felt the cities should get more forceful with the state but that the cities should realize the state needs time for planning and that plenty of time should be given to preparation. He concluded that he took pride on the way we submitted the last one to the State Highway Department with all the preparation done by the Mayor and people working with him. Mrs. Dahlquist reported that the portion of the program outstanding in her mind was "Eliminating Bottlenecks". Mr. James Brown, City of Denver, recommended use of one.-way streets which help eliminate use of left turns. The street width allows better traffic flow and is more safe for pedestrians, the accident potential being less. Film slides shown projected a bottleneck and planting of a tree right at the point of conjestion, but use of particular type trees for landscaping were especially impressive. One-way streets was the highlight of the conference and Mrs. Dahlquist wonders when Renton can implement this. 100 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting (Cont.) 7-18-1966 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: (Cont.) NEW BUSINESS Councilman Garrett, added that the meeting is pretty well reported by the time the Mayor gets around the table to him however one thing that impressed him was the Arterial Program. The meeting began on Monday at 10:00 a.m. with the business meeting and the sessions were all referred to as Technical Sessions with speakers and,session participants being traffic or graduate engineers and they were referred to as Technical Speakers. Panel discussion ended the day at 4:45 p.m. Referring to Mrs. Dahlquistfs statements, Mr. Garrett continued that extensive use was made of slides and diagrams and in regard to eliminating bottlenecks,one slide had a picture of a bottle and a ball peen hammer had just gone down and completely eliminated it. The conference was quite technical and interesting and well worth the time. Councilman Garrett reported that the first Executive Board Meeting of the Association of Washington Cities was held on July 7th and that signatures had been submitted and filed in Olympia and both Initiative 226 and 229 carried more than adequate number to place them before the electorate on the fall ballot. Mr. Wayne Booth, Seattle, was elected AWC. lst Vice-President who goes up to President and then elected a 2nd Vice-President, Finance: Commissioner, Mr. Austin Clark of Rremerton. The Opera House, Seattle Center, was chosen as location for the annual meeting next year, and free rides on the monorail are contemplated. Councilman Hulse added that the Seventh Day Adventists gave support to the Blue Law Initiative 229 which accounted for a good deal of the surplus signature factor. 233 also carried re- quired signatures to be placed on the ballot. (Sharing of Sales Tax by Cities & Towns) Councilman Perry, referring to the one-way street system of Renton stated our problem to be that they are too narrow, however, the City does not have adequate funds to finance the condemnations which would be involved and suggested that the State be requested to participatefinancially so these areas might be opened up and bottlenecks eliminated. Councilman Schellert announced a meeting on Wednesday of the Park Bond Committee, a group organized to promote the Park Bond Issue which the City has placed on the November ballot, at 8:00 p.m., City 11all. The Police and License Committee ChLirman, Charles Delaurenti, submitted report recommending that the City authorize the hiring of four additional patrolmen in the Police Department as soon as possible with referral to the Ways and Means Committee to recommend source of funding. Moved by Perry, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the recommendations. The motion carried. Councilman Garrett called attention to scheduled meeting at the Renton Inn this Saturday, July 23rd of the Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation and in- vited Couaril Members and City Officials to attend any part or all of the meeting. Councilman Poli called attention to newspaper item regarding failure of a petitioner to secure adequate signatures to place the matter of no-deposit bottle elimination on the ballot and inquired of State Representative Garrett if anything might be done in the State Legislature in view of the failure of the petition. Councilman Garrett replied that a bill had been introduced and opposed by workers from North West Gass especially; that the legislature could enact some type of legislation, it being constitutionally possibly, however, apparently the public is not as concerned as the fellow had circulated the petition and the number of signatures was not adequate. Councilman Poli stated the bottles were getting to be a real nuisance with broken bottles all over. Moved by Perry, seconded by Poli, to refer the matter to the Legislative Committee for recommendation. Carried. Audience comment was invited at this time. Mrs. Shook, referring to pedestrian safety and one-way streets as discussed earlier called attention to traffic hazard at 4th Avenue and Wells Street where Service Laundry Trucks obstruct the view and forcing people to change lanes to get around them. Prior Council action was recalled and meeting with the business owners wherein the conflict had been supposedly ended. Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Bruce, to refer the matter to the Street and Alley Committee to report back next week. Councilman Garrett advised that more time may be required if the Committee is to meet with the property owners. Councilman Gianini added that the Laundry owner is trying to secure additional property adjoining the school. It was suggested by Perry that the Traffic Engineer make a study of the traffic count. The pending motion carried. -4- r Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 7-18-1966 AUDIENCE COMMENT: (Continued) Mr. Joseph Korb, Supervisor of Electrical Engineers, The Austin Company, advised that 800 men were employed in construction on- the Boeing Company job_ and it was important that the City furnish some electrical inspection to insure that the Code is enforced by the participating contractors, and requested that assignment be made of a man on a regular basis to assist in progression of the project with- out delay of waiting for inspection, and that $4,000.00 in fees may be involved. Mayor Custer inquired whether it would be of help if the City retained a State Electrical Inspector by Contract for this particular job. Mr. Korb stated it would be of Cssistance if the State were retained and that he needs to have someone with authority to back him up. Mayor Custer added that the State men in this instance would be acting for the City and called attention to the lack of an inspector at present in the Building Department which brought forth suggestion that the City might retain a State Inspector. Mr. Korb advised that Mr. Johnson has been most cooperative in the Building Department however the building is getting along and needs to be approved to warrant further construction. The Mayor pointed out that the City would be making a decision in a day or so and Councilman Morris pointed out that in the event the State takes over they also would take over the fees, however, he had been advised that it would likely be possible that a State Inspector could come until the City could take over for itself. Mayor Custer added that he understand contractual services could be arranged so they would not take over the fees. Mr. Charles Shane addressed the Council and inquired whether the City didn't have some property which might be acquired by himself and some other interested persons. He felt there was land not being utilized which might bring revenue to the City and mentioned Cedar River Park area and property along the Cedar River Waterway. Discussion ensued regarding property recently leased to the Boeing Company along the Waterway and Mr. Shane stated he noted some land running behind Logan Street and school property which he understands is available. Moved by Morris, seconded by Garrett to refer this to the Property Committee for report of available property. for leace, if any. kir. Shdw was asked what size. land he wants; if th&re is-a certain location or if he were inquiring to find out how much property might be available. Mr. Shane replied that the Council has requested bond issues in the fall and he is expressing his opinion that if the City is not going to use land it should be sold and put to use and that he would be glad to give $30,000.00 in cash for the property from Logan to the waterfront. Mayor Custer recalled going to Court when the City tried to sell other waterfront property. The pending motion carried. Councilman Hulse recalled Council action of last week in its concurrence to declare surplus, property located North of Fire Station ##2, and to sell to the highest bidder, and moved that this matter be referred to the Law and Ordinance Committee_ for proper legislation. The motion was seconded by Schellert and carried. Since there was no further audience comment nor further business to come before the Council, it was moved by Morris, seconded by Poli, to adjourn. The motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 p.m. Helmie Nelson, City Clerk j. D. W.

Clerk had forwarded copies of the proposed ordinance to various agencies and industries in the area. A letter from A. R. Dammkoehler, P.E,, Air Pollution Control Officer of the Seattle-King County Department of Public Health was read wherein he stated that the proposed ordinance should go a long way towards implementing a program to provide clean air for the citizens of Renton. The ordinance is compatible with the City of Seattle and the King County Codes and will provide the basis for a uniform and cooperative program between these areas of separate governmental jurisdiction. Mr. Dammkoehler advised that the Air Pollution Control Division stands willing to assist the City of Renton in whatever manner is necessary to carry out the mandates of the proposed air pollution ordinance.

Roberts of Reilly Tar and Chemical Co. stated that considerable study t-as been given to this subject by his firm and other similar firms throughout the United States. He felt that the proposed ordinance allows the control officer far too much latitude in enforcement which would lead to misunderstanding and unnecessary expense, and that stipulations should be set forth more clearly.

Moved by Morris, seconded by Poli that the hearing be closed. The motion carried. -1 - 104 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting July 25, 1966 PUBLIC HEARING: (Cont. ) Councilman Scheliert, on behalf of the !Jays and Means committee inquired if Mr. Dammkoehler could provide the Council any cost figures for the program.

Mr. Ericksen stated that he had made an unsuccessful attempt to contact Mr. Kennedy to clarify their reason for the appeal . Councilman Pedersen made inquiry whether the Council must consider the appeal to which Mr. Shellan advised that it would depend whether the appeal had been filed within the 10 day limit and whether the appellant could be other than the plattor.

At this time Mayor Custer called a recess to allow the City Attorney and City Clerk to check the platting appeal procedures in the City Code.

The permit imposed a $40.00 permit fee and rental charge for the first 5-year period. Mayor Custer noted that the Council had previously authorized the execution of this document, but that now it was necessary to authorize the payment of the $40.00 fee. Councilman Schellert inquired as to the urgency to which the Mayor answered there was none as this matter had been pending for several months and it is not likely that this area could be ready for development in the immediate future.

Henry be granted a one year's extension of his retirement date.

A letter from City Attorney Shellan transmitted the original and two copies of the proposed lease agreement for the area located North of 6th Avenue, with the Boeing Company. It was assumed that the initial lease term was to be for a period of five years with an option to renew on the part of the Lessee for three years, as it did not seem to be the intention of the City Council or the Property Committee to "tie up" this property for a period of 45 to 50 years. Also, as pertains to rentals to be paid to the City, amounts should be based on the fair market value of subject premises to provide for reasonable return therefrom, which in this case would be not less than 6% and preferably 8%, as the prevailing rate per annum for umimproved property of this type. This, incidentially should also apply to the afjoining pro- perties presently under short term lease to Mr. Porter. Councilman Schellert inquired whether this was for information only or if it required Council action. Mayor Custer advised that authorization for the execution of the lease had been given but that it would be in order for Council to act upon the City Attorney's letter. Councilman Pedersen stated that the Council had complied with all points and the amount of rental is well above 6%.

A letter from Mr. Einar H. Hendrickson, Administrator, Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation, advised that the Department of Commerce and Economic Development is presently engaged in revising the preliminary draft of the statewide outdoor recreation and open space plan as presented at its December, 1965 meeting. All local plan acceptance will be officially recognized by the Interagency Committee and documented in the files and all plans on file will be summarized for inclusion within the statewide plan. A draft of the statewide plan summarizing local plans will be submitted for review within the next few weeks and the Committee must be advised by September 10th whether or not the local programs have been adequately covered in the summary form so that high priority projects are covered. This letter served notice that the plan for Renton has been accepted and is on file with the Interagency Committee.

Gonnason, County Engineer, submitted proposed Resolution setting up developer's fee of $300.00 per acre to help pay for needed improvement in the storm drainage trunk system of the May Creek Flood Control Zone District, and since part of the district is within the city limits of Renton it was requested thatthe City Council of Renton pass similar legislation to provide uniform require- ments within the zone district.

Delaurenti indicated his intent to attend the hearings as Chairman of the-Police and License Committee and Fire and Water Committee and inquired why Mr. Garrett recommended opposing the bill. Garrett reported the combining of funds is a measure of economy and would naturally save money but also lowers the benefits and if the police benefits were raised to those of the firemen he would be in accord but this is not what the Pension Commission advocates. The new plan would lower the benefits now being received by the Firemen and although it does not affat present benefits the new system would be set up for all firemen henceforth which is not as good as we now have in effect and administration of such a plan would be a matter requiring due consideration and it was felt that without further ado, meetings or discussion, the Council should advise it is opposed. Vote taken on pending motion to refer to Committee was dissenting, ruled lost, and roll call, being properly requested, was taken as follows: Aye: Schellert, Pedersen, Perry and Delaurenti. No: Hulse, Bruce, Dahlquist, Gianini, Garrett, Trimm, Poli and Morris. 4 ayes and 8 nos were cast and the motion was lost.

City Attorney Shellan deemed such advice somewhat unrea- sonable and highly technical but recommended that suit be authorized. Moved by Poli, seconded by Gianini, to concur in the recommendation and the City Attorney be authori- zed to institute suit on behalf of the City. Carried. -1- 13'7 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting (Cont.) 9-12-66 COMMUNICATIONS: City Attorney Shellan reported discussion with Mr. Richard Muller, Attorney taking Mr. Burns' place, who has ascended to the bench in the meantime, and relative to the defective pipe in Tiffany Park, problem of determining applicable statute of limitations is yet to be resolved. Ordinarily, it is three years on oral agreements and six years if there is an agreement in writing. Since no information as to any warranties or representations in writing are apparant it will be our position that the City could not reasonably have discovered at the time of acceptance of the plat and pipe that there was latent defect and the three year statute of limitations would commence from date of actual discovery of the defect. Mr. Muller agreed that the 6" pipe apparently is defective, but he had some question as to the balance. It was urged and deemed to be of utmost urgency that an expert examine the sections of pipe now available for inspection and determine whether they are defective or not and support his conclusions with proper facts. Compromise was offered of 4880 ft. of 611 pipe with cold tar dip, however experts information as to fair and realistic cost figure for replacement of all defective pipe is needed.. If suit is to be instituted the Council should authorize same. Moved by Perry, seconded by Schellert, to refer the matter to the Committee of the Whole. The motion carried. A letter from Mr. Einar H. Hendrickson, Administrator, Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation acknowledged receipt on August 15th of the City of Renton, Lake Washington Beach Park Project (second phase) application which submission complies with the September 1 deadline date as required by the IAC. A letter from the City Attorney reported looking over proposed agreement regarding the Lake Washington Beach Park Project which had been submitted by the Mayor's office upon receipt from the Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation. From legal stand- point it appears in proper form, however, Mr. Shellan pointed out that the agreement imposes a more than usual amount of red tape on the City in carrying out any such project, in addition to which all work, changes, supervision and amendments are subject to approval of the State and Federal agencies involved. It was noted that the City .14-11 have to appropriate $55,000 as its one-half share of the total cost while the -othing, the Federal Agency , the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, is .o con-,'-rib-,:.2 the remaining $55,000. However, 1% of the total, namely, $1,100.00 is to be paid by the City to the State as part of its administrative expenses incidental to the project, which must be paid immediately upon approval of the project by both state and federal governmental units. .The City should be quite sure the projected estimate of $110000 is adequate to take care of listed improvements in paragraph 4. Also, the Federal governments share of the cost will be paid in installments only, together with a 10% retention until the job has been accepted so there may be some possible delay in making payments to the City's contractors. The Competitive Bidding requirement c;i - all contracts in excess of $2,500 seems to be inconsistent with RCW 35. 23.353 which allows construction of public works up to $5,000 without such bidding. Since the City must comply with a certain manual issued by the Federal Government regulating policies and procedures, it was recommended that this be studied,possibly by the Park Director.to be sure the City cannot be declared in default. A meeting was suggested so all obligations may be reviewed. Moved by Perry, seconded by Schellert, to refer the letter to the Committee of the Whole and the Park Board. Carried. Park Director Coulon reported Park Board instructions that a Resolution be requested transferring $55,000.00 from the Cedar River Acquisition Fund unto the Park Fund,6120, Capital Outlay 604, for purpose of commencing development of the Lake Washington Beach property, which request is based upon receipt of the Agreement for Federal-State-Local participation in this project from Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation. Moved by Perry, seconded by Bruce, to refer the request to the Committee of the Whole. Carried. A letter from Delbert Bennett, Traffic Engineer requested authorization to call for bids for Traffic Signal Systems at Rainier Avenue anO 3Rc Place and Rainier Avenue and 7th Avenue with September 26th being recommended as date for bid opening. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Hulse, to authorize the bid call and bid opening date. The motion carried. A letter from Renton Municipal Court Judge, Paul Houser, requested appropriation of excess revenues in sum of $2,000.00 in order to maintain proper operations, increased traffic and parking citations requiring printing of additional tickets and other office maintenance supplies which will be needed as a result of such increase. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Poli; to grant the request with referral to the taw and Ordinance Committee. Carried. -2- 138 Renton City Council Meeting (Cont.) 9-12-66 COMMUNICATIONS A letter from Gordon Ericksen, Planning Director, submitted Planning Commission recommendations from its meeting of August 24th as follows: Rezones: Sterno Land Company, Appl.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Councilman Hulse, reporting for the Committee of the Whole, recommended that the Matter of the Isaac S.

Moved by Schellert, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the recom- mendation. Carried. Councilman Hulse reported attendance at meeting of the Planning Association of Washington at Moses Lake Friday and Saturday which was, as usual, quite an interest- ing meeting. Discussed at some lengths was matter of "Port Districts" and it was noted that the Port Districts engage in quite a few activities, one of which is recreation, they also having had a minor part in helping the Big Bend Community College operate, such colleges not being allowed dormitories; Big Bend through some arrangement managing to have dormitories. Improvement Program operated at the College was outlined including, along with the Jr. College Program, a Vocational Technical Training Course, Training for Migrant Workers, Vocational Agriculture Program and a "Seminar Course for Planners' which, it occurred to Mr. Hulse might be something which might be possible in our own city. The newly proposed Municipal Code was another matter discussed which contains the new Planning Code and which did not get in for hearing at the last session of the Legislature. It was one of two bills that came in quite late and was not considered. The Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation reported needs of the State in sum of $279,000,000.00 and only $4,000,000.00 is available and this is the reason for allocations being less than desired and gives an idea of the possibility of securing funds for Park & Recreation Development. The next two meetings will be in LongView in February and in Pullman in Septem- ber, 1967. Mr. Hulse added that it was his hope that some follow-up might result on the possibility of a Planning Seminar course in.Renton for Planning Officials, Government Officials and other persons interested in Planning.

Perry called for discussion on the question and pointed out that an Administrative Assistant had not been shown in the Preliminary Budget questioning the need since request had not been made by the Mayor. Mayor Custer replied that the need has been discussed with Council- men but had not been included because of the money however, when Council ' s budget was balanced there were sufficient funds and the Council has now recommended that the Administrative Assistant be added.

J `- Delaurenti qualified his vote by reason of priority basis of need believing that an Administrative Assistant is needed but that the Building Department has had criticism from the audience at Council meetings that checkers have notbeen available when the contractor was ready for the inspection and at the present the Building Department request which was budgeted and not allowed in the Mayor ' s budget, should have the first consideration.

The 1967 Budget was hereby adopted. Dahlquist opposed and stated her feeling that "cat and mouse" had been played in balancing this budget as she had attended every budget hearing meeting and only 4 of the Council Members have been present at all six meetings; yet a motion was made by Mr. Trimm and seconded by Garrett to delete the 3% utility tax from the revenue section of the budget which was fine if it had been referred to Committee to ,+-udy or referred to the Mayor for his preliminary budget, but the -2- Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting (Cont ) 10-3-1966 Budget Hearing: matter was not referred and then later in the evening, in order to balance the budget it was moved by Garrett and seconded by Trimm to adopt the Revenue section of the budget as presented by the Mayor, and she did not think such actions were justifiable.

Rezone of City owned property located North of Fire Station No. 2 in the Highlands (4th and "H" Street) This being the date set the hearing was declared open. As there were no communica- tions nor comment from the audience, Council action was invited. Councilman Pedersen, Property Committee Chairman, reported that although the Planning Commission had recommended R-3 zoning, the whole block from the Fire Station to Sunset is zoned B-1 with exception of one apartment which has been built in a B-1 zoning. The Property Committee, in looking out for interest of the public feels that the highest and best use in community interest would be B-1. Upon inquiry regarding existing zoning, Planning Director Ericksen pointed out the B-1 zonings in the area and R-1 nearby and advised that the Commission wished to point out that the apartment is adjacent, with apartments along entire west side of the block with addition being newly constructed on the existing apartment and it was the feeling,in keeping with the use of the area,it would be more desirable for the area to go into Multiple use rather than B-1. A portion of property near the corner is R-1, never having been rezoned however the R-3 was felt to be more compatible use for the area than B-1. Perry expressed opinion it should be alike and not a B-1 then R-3 and the Fire Station. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Bruce, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Schellert, to concur with the Planning recommendation of R-3 and refer the matter to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Pedersen inquired whether R-3 would allow Doctors offices and dental clinics and Mr. Ericksen advised they could be allowed by special permit from the Planning Com- mission. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Pedersen to amend the motion by substituting B-1 in lieu of the R-3 zoning. Schellert stated the City has an opportunity to rezone its own property as it may wish and if the Planning Commission says it should be R-3 the Council should go along with the recommendations of the City Body. Garrett replied that as a duly elected Councilman you should go along with the Planning Commission recommendations if your convictions allow however he feels if a piece of property has B-1 on A. sides it should also be zoned B-1, and he is well aware of the existence of an apartment on property with B-1 zoning, Council's obligation being to zone for best and highest use. Dahlquist pointed out that apartment housing is on two sides of the property and the fire station on the 3rd and across the street is B-1 and she also felt the Council should accept recommendation of the Planning Commission when they have been asked for a recommendation, and having done the planning for the whole City. Pedersen added that this was not an easy decision for the Planning Commission and they at one time had thought about zoning half of it one zoning and the other half another, but the Property Committee recommends B-1 as being the highest and best use as the property will be put up for bids and sold as previously authorized. Garrett pointed out that the apartment house is R-3 use but is in a B-1 zoning and if zoned B-1 the person could put in apartments if he so desired and it should be understood that you are not violating or restricting use and that structures are not reflecting the zoning. Hulse requested ruling of legality of the motion since it changes the intent. The chair ruled the motion in order,the change allows-the 3.ike use and only one-half of the motion being amended. Upon inquiry Attorney Haugan stated the Mayor's ruling to have merit. Schellert inquired whether the zoning posted for public hearing can be changed by Council. City Attorney Haugan gave his opinion that the action would hold water in court as there is not any great radical change, the R-3 and B-1 'scarcely 'any different insofar as permitted use. Dahlquist stated that since apartments are permitted in B-1 and business in R-3 by special permit, the Council should uphold the Planning Commission recommendation. Hulse added that the highest and best use seems to be indicated by what has happened already in the area affirming rec6mmendation of the Planning Commission. Garrett countered that the B-1 use allowed would bring in more revenue to the taxpayer than the R-3 and this should be considered. Question was called for on the motion to amend and the Chair ruled the motion carried. Roll call vote was requested and resulted as follows: Ayes: Bruce, Pedersen, Garrett, Perry and Delaurenti. No: Hulse, Schellert, Dahlquist and Poli. Amendment carried. The motion was voted upon as amended, rezoning the property to B-1 with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee.

Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Bruce, that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission to consider the revised plans. Schellert called for ruling as to how you can appeal a decision and amend the original application and ask for determination on the appeal; action will have to be taken on the original appeal and not reconsidered by the Planning Commission, The Chair ruled that the motion is allowed, not necessarily being an amendment to the application but could be request for a new hearing.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: Unfinished Business: Councilwoman Dahlquist reported her attendance at the Washington Finance Officers' Convention noting that Senator Martin Durkan discussed the need for the new Municipal Code which will allow for broader home rule, and deemed it each person's responsibility to impress upon the Senators and Legislators in Olympia importance of getting behind this bill. He spoke on about Initiative 226 stating that taxes will increase as the need for services increase and 226 will not in itself cause a tax increase, but will be only a small part of increase needed for highways, institutions and salaries and to really do a good job a positive attitude must be taken and personalized contacts made with ones who do not understand the Bill. It was evidenced that the Finance Officers are very aware of the need for passage of 226, their budgetary problems being discussed with contingencies resting thereon. 226 is a request for sharing of the fruits of the labors of the people of the State at the Local level and it is not enough to want; you must want it enough to take the extra step and expend that extra effort which it takes to get 226 passed, and these were her sentiments as well as those of the Senator. Councilman Garrett, Chairman, Street and Alley Committee, reported meeting with Mr. Robert Shane regarding storm drainage in connection with his Aloha Ranch developments and the Committee wishes to hold the matter until they can further confer with the City Attorney.

New Business: Councilman Perry called attention to provisions of the Ordinance and regulations regarding issuance of Fireworks stand Permits specifically referring to dates the application may be filed for an ensuing year and moved that the matter of procedure for these permits be referred to the Committee of the Whole for discussion.The motion was seconded by Schellert. Upon inquiry regarding possible amendment to the Ordinance, it was pointed out by the City Clerk that the manner of issuing these permits is a requirement of the State Law and our Ordinance complies therewith. City Attorney Shellan added that the period of sale is regulated by State Law, being-on a first come first served basis, recalling that the State Legislature removed the City's control over the fireworks matters and we now only act as a checking agent by accepting the ten dollars & . issuing a license, but the City has no control whatso- ever, except limiting number based upon population. It would be administrative matter of procedure if the City Clerk would not accept applications in 1966 for future licenses beyond the coming year. Vote was taken on the pending motion and the Chair ruled the motion lost. Councilman Delaurenti advised he has been doing some research on this matter and on behalf of the Police and License Committee will be making a report. Councilman Delaurenti submitted a letter for reading by the Clerk inviting a tour of Rainier State School at Buckley this coming Sunday. It requested that the State Senators and Representatives be urged to attend to further the cognizance of dire need for operating funds. Councilman Garrett advised of recent tour of the facility and of another plan to visit again and stated actions have been taken by the State Legislative Committees to secure release of the Governor's Emergency Fund for this purpose and otherwise that a special Session of the Legislature be called to give the matter proper attention. The Legislatorshave offered to meet without cost to the State if the Governor could be so persuaded. Mr. Garrett, as Representative, has received many letters regarding this serious problem.

After the reading, it was moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, to refer the document back to the Law and Ordinance Committee for further study.

Carried. -4- ISO Minutes-Renton City Council Meeting 10-24-66 ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS: (Cont.) The Law and Ordinance Committee presented a proposed Ordinance of the City of Renton vacating a portion of Mountain View Avenue as read by the Clerk. (Rudy Hassen petition) Moved by Schellert, seconded by Poli, to place the document on second and final reading. Carried. After the final reading, it was moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, to adopt Ordinance No. 2286 as read. Carried. Discussion ensued relative to action to be taken regarding the rezoning of City- owned property next to Fire Station $#2 at 9th and H Street in the Highlands. Wrn Upon inquiry, City Attorney Shellan advised that due to the close similarity in zoning use of the two, R-3 and B-1 zoning,he felt no gross problem exists in the action taken. There are certain permitted uses in B-1 not allowable under R-3, but since there was no protest the public obviously did not care one way or another. It would, however, have been his opinion if asked last week that the change was not in order and that another notice be posted and public hearing held as revised. It was pointed out that a majority of the Council had voted for the B-1 zoning and alternative action to legally effect the will of the majority was desired and course of pursuance was discussed. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, that November 7th be set for hearing on rezoning of the subject property. Carried. Mr. Robert Shane requested that the matter of storm drain connected with his Aloha Ranch development be considered by the Council as the interest point has increased 1.5% since he came in on the matter. Committee Members Garrett and Schellert advised they wished to meet with the City Attorney prior to making a recommendation. It was pointed out that the Council does not meet for two weeks since next week is a 5th Monday. The question is whether the City is obligated to provide a line through Aloha Ranch Development $#1 which street was dedicated and accepted by the City or whether the responsibility is Mr. Shane's since he wishes to use the line for getting rid of excess water in developing Aloha Ranch ##2. Recess was requested and called* upon motion by Perry and second by Hulse and carried. After the recess, roll call was taken with all Council Members present as previously listed. Councilman Garrett reported the findings of the Committee that the City has no obligation in the matter. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the report of the Street and Alley Committee. Discussion ensued and upon inquiry by Perry as to further details, Councilman Garrett drew a diagram on the chalk board and explained alternative route or drain and catch basin plan which might be utilized by Mr. Shane. City Engineer Wilson advised that the present drainage facilities are adequate for the area the City is concerned with, the problem being the water in the area now being developed. Upon inquiry as to cost it was estimated that a line through the existing $#1 develop- ment would cost approximately $3,000.00 but City Engineer Wilson stated that all that is practically needed are a couple of catch basins and a storm line for future expansion. Mr, Shane pointed out other developments in the area, and re-stated his stand that he should not have to pay to run a line through property accepted by the City, He asked why he wasn't required to install it before since the City knew he intended to further develop the area and it was pointed out that there was no storm se4erdown 116th at that time but it had been installed subsequently by emergency measures. Perry felt the City should provide a place for the water when Mr. Shane comes to the end of his Plat but it was pointed out there is no Ordinance requiring a line to be run to private properties. Question was called for on the pending motion and the vote followed and the motion declared carried, concurring in the Street and Alley Committee repert. As there was no further business to come before the Council and no further comment from the audience, it was moved by Poli, seconded by Bruce, to adjourn. Carried.

Councilman Garrett will be in Washington D.C. attending a Legislative Leaders' Conference and could attend at a minimum expense to the City. It was requested that the Council consider authorizing attendance of at least one to represent the City at this program. Moved by Schellert seconded by Bruce, that Mayor Custer and Councilman Garrett be authorized to attend the tour. Councilman Bruce called attention to existing transportation problems and the fact that rapid transport is one proposal for alleviating the problems and though Renton won't be the hub it will certainly be a part of such a system. Mayor Custer stated he may have a conflict of schedules and be unable to attend and after 'dis- cussion regarding attendance of Councilman Perry at the Toronto system and possible alternate representative, the motion carried. Councilman Garrett requested a meeting of the Street and Alley Committee at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 9th and requested that the Airport Manager and President or Member of the Airport Board be invited to attend to discuss the matter of the Black River Channel obstruction per letter from John Harer. Councilman Perry with reference to possibility of Renton becoming a first class City, in giviPg thought to the next six to eight years, inquired regarding the possibility of three of the six Councilmen to be elected next year being on a full time basis. City Attorney Shellan upon inquiry stated that under the present law applying to second class cities there is no distinction made as far as full or part time . Such question is mute also as the c ties will have before then the matter of the new Municipal Code which the City will be allowed to adopt if the 1967 Legislature enacts this enabling legislation which will do away with, for all intents and purposes, the classes of cities. This has to do with the new Municipal Code Committee that has been working on the sample code which will give the cities more home rule. When a city elects to be a code city a charter is drawn & tlae people elect free holders who then determine whether the Council works full or part time or at all so Mr. Perry's question might be solved if this enabling legislation is passed. Upon further inquiry on the subject Councilman Garrett added that the Statute does not delineate how much time a Councilman is supposed to spend or be limited to and that the amount of remuneration was likely the matter to which Mr. Perry was referring which matter ... should have been taken up at budget time. The Code is a matter which should be given consideration and be studied by someone from a Committee of the Council. It was h pointed out that Legislative Committee Chairman Dahlquist has been working with this matter and the final draft will be out in the latter part of November. The Code Committee is comprised of three Municipal Officers, Mr. Marshall Neal, Marshall McCormich, City Attorney from Tacoma, George Salzer, Mayor of Steilacoom and the President of the Assn. of Wn. Cities, Mayor Willard Sampson from Camas, one member from the House who is Representative Marsh from Vancouver and one Member from the Senate who is Senator Martin Durkan. The proposed code in part, has been distri- buted heretofore and the final draft to soon be out will be furnished to every city official in the State for their information. -4- 136 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 1-7-6( COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS NEW BUSINESS: Cont. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Bruce, that the Firemen who go on 24-hour shifts who are working 24 hours on election day be allowed by the Chief to take time off to go and vote. Chief Walls stated that until this election such had always been the policy with trans- portion even being furnished, however, since the new law provides for opening of the polls at 7:00 a.m. he had felt they would have ample time to vote and if the polls were crowded and they were late there would be no penalty. The pending motion carried. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Polai, that the new Optional Municipal Code be referred to the Legislative Committee. Carried. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS: The Law and Ordinance Committee submitted a proposed Resolution of tte City cf Renton authorizing as of January 1, 1967, release of matching contributions in Statewide Cities Retirement System of which $15,000.00 is to be applied for Prior Service liability and $5,000.00 for city matching contrabutions (Street Fund) .

Repair, Maintenance, $300.00 402, Office Supplies, $1,000.00 and 417, Material and Supplies, $1,500.00. Moved by Poli, seconded by Schellert, to adopt Resolution No, 1405 as read. Carried. The Committee submitted a proposed Ordinance amending Section of the Building Code 4-731 C as recommended by the Board of Adjustment and which relates to publication &"posting notices of hearing rather than personal notice to property owners within 300 feet of the property. Discussion ensued regarding the fact that owner is not always the resident and problems which result in lost time and effort in ascertaining legal owner and also when he is residing out of State or even elsewhere. Upon inquiry City Attorney Shellan advise1 3 that giving notice on or about the subject premises is perfectly legal. He did inquire 1--wever regarding further amendments to the Code now proposed by the Board of Adjustment which will require further amendment to the same Section which.can be taken case of all at one time. City Clerk Nelson added that each amendment requires that the Ordinance be published, processed, distributed and Codified and involves considerable time and costs which could be saved if all matters were considered and made in a recommendation whereby a single amendment could be made. The Codifiers might wonder if several amendments are sent for printing which are revisions to the same Ordinance. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Poli, to refer the proposed Ordinance back to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Carried. Mr. Richard Stredicke called attention to Council authorization for attendance at out of State conferences granted this evening and recalled prior trips auth6rized .making inquiry as to number attending and if the Planning Commission should be asked for an accounting why not likewise the Council. Discussion ensued with respect to the coming Los Vegas conference in December, reporting of members when attending, and further, that budgeted travel funds provide for attendance at conferences at the discretion of Departments and Council so long as the budget is not overexpended and allottment or policing should be made if required within the Department or fund concerned.

Mayor Custer vacated the Chair which was assumed by Council President Hulse, to make a presentation of the proposals for the street grid modifications. A map was displayed and the program of changes outlined. The plan will be instituted in three phases, the first to commence in the North and South Renton areas generally, the second the Northeast and Southeast and t''ie final. sextant, the Northwest and Southwest area, per outline on the wall map. In order to coincide with the County Grid system the streets will become avenues and the avenues streets. There is a question as to whether the blocks will be numbered on the signs but it is felt the new proposal will aid the post office, delivery services and visitors. Inquiry regarEng time element w8.9 made re- garding dix-ctori.es,Walla Walla will become Houser Way along the entire length. Signs will be 8" x 36" on the arterials and slightly smaller on the others with metal posts in the downtown areas and wooden outside the core area with the street department making the signs. Discussion ensued regardingthe sign designations when a road is winding and opinion was expressed that they should designate the proper sextant regardless of meandering direction. Another opinion was expressed that the address would provide the location area. Mr. Benton inquired whether the telephone company might be advised of the dates,in concern for the new 1967 telephone directories, when the changes will be effected. Mayor Custer advised that the Phase I changes will be effective January 1st, but the Company could get the proposals earlier for directory purposes. After discussion regarding division boundaries for area designations it was moved by Morris, seconded by Schellert, that the hearing be closed. Carried. The hearing was declared closed and Council action invited. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the proposed grid plan as presented by the Mayor with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee Mayor Custer had resumed the Chair and the motion carried. COMMUNICATIONS: A petition containing 37 signatures was read signed by residents of Tiffany Park area requesting that the City provide more adequate street lighting in the area. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Hulse, to refer the petition to the Light and Power Committee to report back. The motion carried. Petition was read containing 23 signatures, protesting proposed placement of an East-West stop sign on S .E. 94th Street at its intersection with 104th Ave. S .E. which it was felt would in no way alleviate the traffic problem but rather aggrevate it. Further study of the problem was urged. Moved by Poli, seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Street and Alley Committee to report back. Councilman Garrett called attention to meeting held on this matter between the City Officials, representatives of the Kennydale P.T.A., school, state and county traffic divisions, and reluctant agreement by the City to install a stop sign which the County likewise agreed to do and make a 4-way stop at 94th and 104th. During further discussion Traffic Engineer Del Bennett displayed a drawing of the subject problem area and pointed out the proposed location of the sign as proposed, noting that the problem crosswalk is ,just outside the City and the sign some 685 ft. from there so nothing is really being accomplished by the 4-way stop as proposed. This entire area was recently annexed to the City. Upon suggestion that perhaps the sign should be in- stalled and follow-up as required thereafter it was mentioned that nothing was worse than removing a sign once installed.

Moved by Hulse, seconded by Poli, that the Minutes of the previous meeting be approved. The motion carried. (November 21, 1966) PUBLIC HEARING: Standard Oil Company appeal of Board of Adjustment decision in denial of variance for sign. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communication of appeal was reviewed and letter read from Sven Johnson, Building Director and James Magstadt, Assistant Planning Director advising that the variance was denied for the reason that it was felt no hardship exists, the staff recommendation being that the sign maintain the required 20 ft. setback. The variance request does not meet requirements for granting of a variance and this is the first of upcoming developments in the area and should be an example of standards required by the City. Audience comment was invited and Mr. Tom Moyer, representing Standard Oil Company reviewed his application and pointed out that the encroachment was required to give adequate notice to oncoming motorists to prevent sudden stops to get into the station which is a dangerous traffic situation and hazard otherwise since the approach is on a curve. The sign would be 35 feet above ground level and would not constitute a hazard within the setback and it would be incorporated into the existing construction of concrete and steel reinforcement which pole if utilized would give adequate support. Otherwise a new hole will be needed and they would have to dig about 20 feet deep and concern was expressed for the soft ground, mud and water likely to be encountered in this area. The property is in a rural area and is located at the easterly edge of the City where existing signs are not subject to any setback requirements. A compromise setback of 9 ft. encroachment was requested gather than the 17 ft. originally proposed. Thcy wished to utilize all of their property and will still be '30 ft. back up- on widening of the highway whereas all over the state and county buildings were allowed to be constructed to the edge of the property lines. It was felt that denial would constitute a severe business handicap and hardship not shared by other business properties to the East. Also, if desirable upon future development of the area the sign would be relocated. Inquiry was made as to whether the Board of Adjustment has been advised of the compromise setback proposal and Mr. Moyer replied that it has not. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Hulse, to refer the matter to the Board of Adjustment to review the compromise and submit the recommendation for further council action. Upon inquiry as to provisions under the Ordinance for referring the matter back for review by the Board of Adjustment, City Attcrney Shellan stated that under the ordinance an appeal must be made within ten days of the decision and thus Mr. Moyer was making his appeal in order to preserve his rights thereto which would other- wise be lost. Also,if the Council wishes to retain jurisdiction they could refer back for report back but not refer as a new matter. His second suggestion was that if the Council might wish to consider along the lines the Gentleman -- suggested if they do not want a variance but a temporary permit to allow the encroachment with provision that it would be moved when other developments and improvement8 are instituted in the area. Assistant Planning Director Magstadt had stated that the property to the West is being developed and large apartment complex has been proposed and if this setback were to be allowed the whole area would be lost. It was felt that the curve was very gradual and vision is not restricted especially if the structure is 35 ft. in the air, and this being a first development standards should be established. The pending motion carried with Delaurenti voting' no. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Bruce, that the hearing be continLv-d until December 12, 1966. Carried. Delaurenti opposed stating he had visited the area and could see no hardship either way §6,could see no reason for referring it back. -1- Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 11-28-66 COMMUNICATIONS : Letter was read containing signatures of four property owners petitioning the City for annexation of properties in vicinity of S .E. 116th Street (South side) between 133rd and 136th Avenues S .E ., to the City of Renton.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: Unfinished Business: Councilman Hulse submitted brochures and information received from the Bench Advertising Company to Mr. Perry for use by the Public Relations Committee where the matter has been subsequently referred.

Moved by Bruce, seconded by Poli, to concur in the report. Carried. Councilman Hulse commented on the nice ,job the City Clerk has done on putting in the Capital Improvement Priority Program at the end of the 1967 Budgets. Councilman Schellert reported that the Ways and Means Committee had the matter of ay.iilu'iility of funds for the first stage of the grandstand and reported that in the Park Department Budget for 1967 has been allocated approximately $37,000.00 and the original proposal for the gra tand was around $66,000.00 and the total now after review and revision is $90,G-j which leaves a balance to be funded of $53,000.00. The Committee reported that $53,000.00 would be available in the Cedar River Acquisition Fund for use about June of 1967. Councilwoman Dahlquist, reporting for the Legislative Committee called attention to the Clean Waters Restoration Act and recommended that personal contacts be made by the Renton Council to support this legislation and authorization was requested for the members of the Legislative Committee to go to Olympia and Lobby. Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Schellert, to grant authorization as requested. After dis- cussion regarding expenditures to be incurred, the pending motion carried. Councilman Pedersen inquired as to status of grandstand plans and after discussion regarding location, mode of funding and time element, it was moved by Pedersen and seconded by Delaurenti, that the City proceed to build Phase I in Liberty Park and use budgeted funds as allocated and borrow the balance from Cedar River Acquisition Fund. Councilman Hulse suggested a public hearing be held prior to proceeding with the grandstand and City Attorney Shellan advised that if a public hearing is to be held decisions should be withheld until after the hearings which are presumably being held for guidance and information of the Council and would be to no avail if ..� action is taken beforehand. Funding was discussed and the City Clerk reminded the Council that funds are needed to operate pending receipt of tax moneys and the tax supported funds thus borrow the available funds the first of the year for general operation. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Hulse, that the pending motion be referred to the Committee of the Whole . The motion carried. Councilman Garrett, on behalf of the Street and Alley Committee, reported subsequent meetings regarding the stop sign at 104th S.E. and S .E . 94th and a compromise solution has been worked out which the Committee will report as soon as plans are finalized. Mayor Custer was requested to refrain from having the stop sign installed pending resort of the new plan which will be agreeable to all parties.

This being the date set, the public hearing was declared open. There were no written communications nor verbal comments and upon inquiry the City Engineer explained that the purpose of this Ordinance is to provide for uniformity in requirements of off- site improvments and to help assist the Engineering Department in its efforts for orderly development of the City. Moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, that the Hearing be closed. The motion carried. Informal Bids for removal of 5 buildings from Civic Center site Councilman Pedersen reported that the property committee had received no bids for demolition of the buildings and moved that the Mayor be authorized to have them removed as previously by work of mouth interest and placement of signs at the site. The motion,seconded by Perry, carried. COMMUNICATIONS AND PRESENTATION: Mr. Dave Johnsten, of Johnston, Campanella, Murakami & Company, Architects, presented Phase II of the plans for the new city hall complex. A scale model of the proposed building in its relationship to the existing library was unveiled and brochures were :C distributed containing preliminary outline of specifications and construction cost estimates. Film slides were shown of the site and each floor plan with Mayor Custer pointing out the areas as Mr. Johnston explained the location of the Departments, and outlined future expansion plans. Perry inquired regarding dual use of the Council Chambers for a Municipal Court room and if the Judge has approved same; whether the noise in the lunch room located on the same floor would be adequately contro'led; if microphones and sound system is provided for in the Council Chamber and whether the Public Health and Sanitation Department could be relocated on a floor other than with the Administrative offices, the type of work being unrelated insofar as its traffic and material delivery might be concerned. Building Committee Chairman Hulse stated that the Judge had agreed to dual use of the Council Chamber and that he himself was not satisfied with the arrangement but that money problems arc- the reason for combining the uses for the present time, further expansion not being financially possible. Mr. Johnston added that the dual use is patterned from a plan of Vancouver, a City of 38,000 persons and that it is reported to be working well. The microphones and sound system is included in the planning and is part ofthe accoustical and electrical specifications and the noise from the lunchroom will be adequately controlled. Regarding Department locations there is a flexible partition arrangement and the Department in question could be changed. Slides of the floors were reviewed during which it was noted that the public lobby will be open 24 hours, this being the location of the public restroom facilities. The Council Chamber floor has an outdoor walk-around Plaza; parking lots are in sunken area and contain special police security entrance and parking with ramp up to Houser Way with the pub-'lie and employee lot extending out to Mill Street. Specifications outline and construction costs were reviewed from the brochure distributed earlier with a total cost projected at $1,370,082.00 as presented and the $1,500000.00 contemplated to be sufficient to encompass completion of the entire complex ready to move into. The Police T.V. facility, utility pole removal (required due to underground wiring) and Data Processing equipment were not included in the preliminary estimate of costs but :r it was felt that some of this might be leased. In concluding his presentation and Phase II of the planning, Mr. Johnston regrested authority to proceed with the Documental Phase, Councilman Hulse stated that some changes and adjustments are bound to be required and that additional space is available in the present plan specifically on the 3rd, 5th and 6th floors. Moved by Perry, seconded by Schellert, that the matter of moving the Public Health offices from the 6th floor be referred to the Building Committee. Carried, Dahlquist opposed. -1- 223 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 1-9-67 PRESENTATION OF NEW CITY HALL PLANS - PHASE II - The City Hall plan has 7 floors. It was noted that the 5th floor is unfinished for future expansion and development. Chairman Hulse inquired regarding the question of a sprinkler system which was to be checked out with the Fire Chief and Building Department. Mr. Johnston stated that if double head sprinklers are involved the cost to be about $28,000.00. During discussion it was pointed out that all of the various questionable matters should be resolved prior to acceptance of Phase II . Mr. Campanella stated that if Council wishes are made known through its Committee they can be taken under advise- ment. 95% of them can be -taken care of and outside the matter Mr. Hulse mentioned the rest of the building is ready for further procedure. Moved by Pedersen that Phase II be accepted with stipulation that consideration be given to the sprinkler system and relocation of the Health and Sanitation Department. The motion died for lack of second, and it was subsequently moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Hulse, that the matter be tabled for one week to allow for determinations to be made on the items in question. The motion carried. Attention was called to the many hours spent by the Committee and to the detail and different types of things to be considered in the planning and that the progress on the total plan has been good and it is not surprising to run across a detail at which the Council might wish to take a second look. A letter was read from Randy Rockhill, Chairman, Municipal Arts Commission, giving support to Allied Arts of Renton's letter urging that plans for a fountain or water display be included in the new City Hall complex. Any assistance they might give was offered for promotion of this project. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Perry, to refer the communication to the City Hall Building Committee. The motion carried. A Petition to annex territory to the City of Renton was read wherein Petitioners agree to assume pre-existing bonded indebtedness of the City on basis of their pro- rate shares. The property is located on S .E . 116th Street between 133rd and 136th Avenues S.E . (Wood-Wickham properties-2.47 acres with assessed value of $2,150.00. A second Pe,titi^n to annex properties to Renton was read wherein owners of lands located on Sunset Boulevard East and 132nd Avenue S.E. indicated their willing- ness to assume pro-rata shares of pre-existing bonded indebtedness of the City if annexed. (Skagen-Lotto property) 8.5 acres with assessed valuation of $4,290.00. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, that the petitions be referred to the City Engineer to check signatures for validity of the Petition. Carried. A letter from M. W. Heidy, Pallis Realty, appealed on behalf of. Virgil Fox, Planning Commission denial of property rezone from S-1 to R-4 and stating that the objection to the rezone being the height this would be controlled by a change to R-3 zoning. Garrett mentioned that since a revision was desired to R-3 and the Council could only act on the R-4 appeal the applicant should reapply to the Planning. Commission. Schellert added that the Commission had eagerly denied the R-4 but hadn't suggested an alternative at the hearing, and Planning Director Ericksen confirmed that the Chairman had indicated there should have been some consideration for alternative zoning however the applicant did not express a desire to amend his application. Moved by Poli, seconded by Garrett, to refer the matter back to the Planning Com- mission. Inquiry was made as to whether this is to be treated as an appeal since the modification was offered. City Attorney Shellan stated that since an appeal was vested, it should be treated thus and a hearing date be set. In the meantime if the Petitioner desires to modify his application he can amend his petition and submit it to the Planning Commission and it will come back to the Council. If he intends to stand on this R-4 he will have to appeal before the Council. After further dis- cussion regarding applicant's intentions the motion was voted on and failed upon verbal majority of No votes. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Morris, that the date of February 6 be set for hearing on this appeal. Carried. (Between 88th Pl.

Ruggles and J. Malgarini. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Bruce, to refer the letters of intent to the City Engineer to check signatures for validity of the letters. Carried. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Delaurenti, that January 16, 1967 be set for the preliminary mreetjng requij:ed with property owners by law. The motion Carried.. A letter from Gordon Ericksen, Planning Director, submitted Planning Commission recommendations from its public hearing meeting of December 28, 1966 which were read by the Clerk with actions taken as follows: Rezone application - First Investment Company No. R-364-66 for rezone from G to T� Trailer Park - property located on 130th Avenue S.E. between S.E. 132nd and the extension of "0" Street (S.E . of Greenwood Cemetery) 27 acres proposed for 201 trailer spaces. The Comprehensive plan indicates the area as single family resi- dence. Hulse inquired whether this use is consistent with that shown on the land use map now under revision and in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan. Planning Director Ericksen reported that inasmuch as the Commission has been studying the areas of the City and working on the revisions,First Investment's hearing had been continued until this meeting at wh`'ch time it was intended that the study meeting on this area would have been completed, however, the scheduled meeting was cancelled due to the snow and it was planned to take it up at the next special study session. He advised that at present there is no Trailer Park use designated in the City's plan e staff had recommended a new use area be designated in which a trailer park could be located as it should be a separate zoning in itself. Than might be located in any given area provided it meets with the criteria . The staff had thus suggested that the Commission treat it as a multiple use in terms of access and density but as far as the Comprehensive Plan is concerned this is shown as single family use. In checking with the City Attorney it was stated that since the Trailer Park use was not spelled out in the Zoning Ordinance it was more or less open, and thus the multiple zoning suggestion. Hulse inquired whether Trailer Park would be called low density since density would be a criteria, R-1 being shown. Ericksen rt;plied a closed trailer park would be relatively low density however the proposed use of 22 acres for 2^1 spaces would be somewhere between R-2 and R-3. in density. Schellert inquired of Mr. Don Johnson, Associate of First Investment, and prior member of the County Planning Commission whether the subject access would have met with approvel. Mr. Johnson replied that it would, that the 4th Avenue access was 30 ft. (S.E. 128th) and was a platted dedicated roadway on which they own two pieces and would be willing to dedicate an extra 30 ft. for a 60 ft. right-of-way. He stated they had tried to subdivide the property but could only get financing for $15,000.00 homes and thus felt the trailer park would be the better use for the ground by reason of its location which is bounded by the cemetery, a gravel pit and contains a power line easement. They will use the easement property for a recreation area, the sewer line 4 mile away can be brought in and access will be resolved with the Trailer Park Board. A model first class park is planned which housing the City badly needs and the developers are willing to do anything required including screening, Mr. Albert Balch added that from his past 23 years of working with the City pa-vt.' developments are familiar to the Council and enlarging upon Mr. Johnson's statements added that tall trees already exist for screening, -3- 225 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 1-9-67 COMMUNICATIONS : (Cont.) the recreation area of 6 acres will contain a pooland miniature golf course and since proposed in August there has been no protest all along including after the the hearing notice was published. The Park is to be patterned after the Wedgewood development in Seattle which was voted by the National Assn. of Home Builders as the #1 example in the U.S. . This proposed park will also be an example of excellence and will have streets, curbs, large size water main, sewers, and everything necessary to satisfy the requirements. This Mr. Balch promised and committed,adding that the City will sing its praises for a number of years and that it will be advantageous bringing income to the City and the State, without reservation. Hulse again expressed concern that it is not in accordance with the present land use map which he thought was the first step, pticrr- to<,•ever being presented to the Council. Ericksen added that this was his question and a legal one and upon checking had thereafter recommended it be treated as a multiple use trying to be impartial and further suggesting action be withheld pending the study meeting. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur in the Planning Commission recommendation. The miti.on carried. Hulse opposed. Rezone: Dino Patas property, Application R-368-66 from G to T, Trailer Park, located on S.E. 128th between 132nd Ave. S.E. and 136th Ave . S.E., 7 acres with 52 spaces planned. Principal access S.E. 128th Street. Comprehensive plan indicates the area a Multi-Family Residential. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Perry, to concur in the Planning Commission recommendation. Carried. Hulse opposed. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Perry the two rezones be referred to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Carried. Schellert inquired regarding lack of use designation for trailer parks and Ericksen confirmed that there is no reference to trailer parks as such. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, that the subject of land use for Trailer Park use be studied by the Planning Commission & included in the Comprehensive Plan. Carried. Upon inquiry Planning Director Ericksen advised that the existing zoning ordinance does not include any reference to Trailer Park as such but the preliminary proposed new zoning ordinance does and as far as the zoning relativity to the Comprehensive Plan, the zoning is a part of the Comprehensive Plan and is a tool to effectuate the overall plan for the City's development. Letters from the King County Commissioner's Office reported receipt and approval of City of Renton Annexation Ordinances No. 2290 and 2292 and filing of same with copies distributed to various interested departments. Letter from Allied Arts of Renton, Mrs. Baird M. Bardarson, $ecretary, Pro Tem, urged location of the proposed grandstand in Cedar River Park where adequate space is available for present and future development and it will not conflict with other types of recreation or be inhibited by lack of parking.

Durkan, directing copy of the new proposed optional Municipal Code for Cities and requesting support by urging of Legislators to work for its passage. Copies are on file in the City Clerk's Office.

Discussion regarding costs for operation to be charged cities next year on per capita basis was noted along with mention of formation of taxing districts and assessment on assessed valuations which it was felt would not be fair and equitable with benefits for Renton. Councilman Garrett advised his Street and Alley Committee report will be submitted next week, the report not yet having been prepared, and additional time was granted. Councilman Delaurenti reported that the Police and License Committee has been studying the Fireworks Stand Ordinance and that a new proposal has been placed in the hands of the Law and Ordinance Committee for presentation to the Council. Councilman Poli, Power and Light Committee Chairman,submitted Committee report regarding referral of a Petition of Tiffany Park residents for street lighting 1 and survey has revealed that due to many problems such as no poles on which to attach lights and lack of funds for such installation by the City, it is the recommendation that if property owners would install the ornamental poles and underground wiring (by L.I.D. or some other method) the City would provide the electrical energy and Puget Power would supply the light fixtures and brackets however, until this is accomplished lights cannot be provided in the area, --- petitioners to be so notified.

Garrison, Chairman, Planning Commission and Gordon Y. Ericksen, Planning Director, reported study of questions raised by the City Attorney regarding trailer park zones and their relationship to the Comprehensive Plan. Attorney Shellan's opinion stated that trailer parks have to be located in a use zone designated as "T" on the City's Zoning Map and he doubted that such trailer parks could legally be located in any residential or business area unless the proper "T" use was so indicated on the maps of the City. If no "T" zones are designated at all then this may be con- sidered inequitable or even arbitrary since it would actually prohibit the establishment of trailer parks within the City, and would in turn be inconsistent with our zoning ordinance. The Planning Commission as a result of its meeting of January 18th, felt in view of possible legal problems and the public interest involved, that further study is necessary and it was requested that the rezone applications for trailer parks previously recommended to the Council be referred back to the Planning Commission until such time as the necessary studies can be completed. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Dahlquist, to refer the subject rezones back to the Planning`Commission as requested. Councilman Morris stated that the Law and Ordinance Committee is holding proposed Ordinances covering these rezones which will be retained until the matter is resolved. The motion carried.

Moved by Schellert, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the recommendations of the Committee of the Whole. Carried. The Committee reported for information that the matter of a "Public Facility Loan" for arterial street improvements was referred to the Mayor for study and that the proposed Ordinance regarding "Unsafe Buildings" was referred to the City Attorney, the City Engineer, Building Director and Law and Ordinance Committee for study and recommendation.

Carried. -2- 242 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 2-6-1967 HEARING: Appeal by Pallis Realty on behalf of Virgil Fox, of Planning Commission Decision denying rezone from S-1 to R-4. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Letter from Planning Director Ericksen reported review of the proposed rezone by the Planning Commission on 1/25/67.Commission opinion was directed to the City Council that R-2 zoning with its lower height restriction would be the best use classification for this property. Letters of protest and petition containing approximately 105 signatures were read as submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Shinpich, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth L. Harvey and Mrs. Lester Saffell. The area,located on 88th Place South between South 126th and Soutii 128th Streets, contains 18000 Eq. ft and lies in a triangular shape. Audience comment favoring the--rezone was.invited-afid-Mr. Virgil"Foxy-owner"of the subject property, stated his realization that R-4 would not be the best zoning and that R-3 ••• being only 5 feet higher than is allowed by single family use, is more likely. ITe expressed willingness to make a deed restriction for R-3 or would otherwise accept whatever zoning the Planning Commission feels is proper which should remove the objection regarding the height. Mr. Pallis, Realtor, added that the proposed use is felt to be the highest and best utilization of the property, the property lending itself nicely to the 14-unit structure which will be planned to be equally attractive and desirable as residences in the area. He felt with tie traffic coming off 90th Avenue South there should be no particular traffic problem on 89th. Objectionable comment was invited and voicing protest to R-4 or R-3 zoning because of the height and view restriction and problem of increased hazard with additional traffic were Eleanor I. Wood, 12741-88th Ave. So. , Mr. -ohn Jonas, 8837 S�E. 126th Street, Mr. Henry Rauch, 8906 South 128th Street, Mr. Kenneth Surcamp, 12823 - 90th Ave. So., Mr. Duane Cottom, 8911 South 126th Street. Present speeds and dangerous use of the streets were mentioned and inquiry made regarding responsibility for future improvements of streets and walkways. After final comment, it was moved by Morris, seconded by Garrett, to concur in the Planning Commission denial of the R-4 rezone. Discussion ensued regarding Planning Commission approval of R-2 and property owners expression that he would accept such zoning as the Commission determined best, and the fact that if the motion received concurrence there would bo nothing further before the Council with petitioner being required' to refile after six months has elapsed, Upon inquiry; City Attorney Shellan advised that the Commission and Council have the discretion to grant a lower density use if the property owner would so desire to amend his petition and if he -etitions at the hearings. The protesting residents were questioned and did indicate they were not opposed to the R-2 zoning and the petitioner advised that although R-3 would be more desirable, he would be willing to amend his petition to R-2:. Moved by Morris and seconded by Poli, that the pending motion be amended to read that petitioner submit his amended application to the Planning Commission with refer-ra-1 0& -the R-2 to the Planning Commission for recommendation. Discussion ensued on whether the Planning Commission opinion constituted a recommendation for the R-2 use since it was not acted upon at a regularly scheduled hearing meeting. Inquiry was made as to number of units allowed under R-2. Planning Director Ericksen stated that a special permit is required for the multiple use and that there would likely be 8-10 units.

Wiltz, Corresponding Secretary, Soroptimist Club of Renton, expressed regret in the loss to the Community by resignation of Marcella Hillgen, Librarian, and at the necessity therefor at this time when the City is growing and the library is able to take its proper place in the civic and cultural growth of Renton.

A letter from Helmie Nelson, City Clerk, reported that an influx of additional work which must meet deadline dates makes it impossible for the present staff to perform the duties and maintain timely schedules. Included in the extra duties are changing of the voting registration forms and notification to the Secretary of State on street name changes. One book takes 8 hours and we have 4�precinct books will will need to be changed as the street name changes are effected. Voter registrations must be cancelled for failure to vote for four years and must be completed by April along with changes in those registrations and notification to voters who did not reside in the precinct where registered during the last election. Unless the Legislature changes the State Law, Jury Lists will again need to be compiled by June lst and additional work will result in connection with taking of the population census whether conducted by the Census Board or not. Processing of new voting registrations will require additional time especially since an election is forthcoming and many new residents will be registering. In order that extra labor may be allowed to assist in completing these projects, it is requested that the sum of $2,000.00 be appropriated for Departmental Account 1400/120, Extra Labor with Employee Benefits into Account 201, Employment Security, $100-.00 and Account 203, Industrial Insurance, $25.00.

Harrison Street Seattle, 98119, by Fred Lange, Executive Director, advised that the Municipality has approximately 222 acres of unused land which will not be utilized by Metro for at least six to eight years and it was wondered whether any municipal agency or group in the Renton area might wish the use of the property. If utilized for public service the Municipality offers it fcr use in return for maintenance only with provision for protection of Metro from liability and otherwise lease to private party. Suggestions were invited regarding possible use of the area which is located in vicinity of the Renton Treatment Plant and was previously under a lease to the Great Northern Railway Company.for the Earlington Golf Course operation. Moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, to refer the matter to the Property Committee to report back. Carried. Summons and Complaint were received from Dennis A. Whiting and Betty A. Whiting, filed by Attorneys Daniel F. Sullivan and Alva C. Long in connection with automobile accident at 7th Avenue right-of-way intersection and the railway tracks,for Judgment of $37,000.00 plus costs. (Claim filed 12-5-66) Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Hulse, to refer the documents to the City Attorney and^Insurance Carrier. Carried. A letter from Mayor Custer recommended appropriation of unassigned 1966 excess revenues in sum of $3,600.00 to cover costs to be incurred in connection with taking of the population census in March, which surplus will be used to cover salaries and material costs which it is apparent will be higher than estimated in the budget. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee for the necessary Resolution. The motion carried. Letter from Jack Wilson, City Engineer, submitted proposed contract between the City and the Puget Sound Power & Light Company for supplying power to the new Mt. Olivet Pump Station. It was recommended that upon approval by the City Attorney, the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the documents. Moved by Morris, seconded by Bruce, to concur and that it be resolved by the Council that a contract be entered into for the . furnishing of Municipal Water Pumping Service as read, Carried, upon i4hich- Resolution No. 1426 was adopted as dated. Letter from City Engineer Wilson reported on Petition for Ammexation of Mead-Melis et al properties located on the North side of 12th Avenue North between P and R Streets, that the signatures represent 78.7%, of the assessed valuation of the property which contains approximately 8.41 acres with an assessed valution of $8,442.00. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist, to refer the matter to the Mayor to request dispensation of Review Board proceedings. Carried. A letter from King County, Acting County Engineer, A. J. Coffelt, reported in reply to inquiry re participation in work to stabilize the banks along the Cedar River,that the extent of work could be limited to only banks which evidence failure,and some channeli- zation to riparian owners on the river with County right reserved to participate in accordance with public benefit served and urgency of the work. To date cooperation agreements have been entered into with landowners who agree to contribute $7.00 per lineal foot and provide flood control easements wherein the Flood Control Division then shaped the banks, applied a filter blanket of river bedrock with riprap surface of quarry rock over this. In Renton the rate of participation would need to be premised on $10.00 per lineal foot as the banks here are much higher and require considerable more material and labor than in the upper reaches. The possibility of directly requesting State par- ticipation by the State Department of Conservation was suggested in which case the Flood Control Division of the County will provide any additional information desired. It was suggested by Councilman Schellert that perhaps the Airport Board would be interested in this matter since the river banks in that vicinity are in need of repair and felt a copy of the letter should be forward�dto the Airport Director and Board. National League of Cities Notice of National Legislative Conference, March 12-14, 1967 Washington, D. C. was read.

Blenco, President, Monterey Terrace Community Club, requested City consent to erect at their expense on City right-of-way property, an entry pylon near the West corner of the intersection of Third and Monterey Drive.

Moved by .Morris, seconded by Dahlquist, to concur. Carried. Councilman Pedersen reporting for the Sanitation Committee regarding petition for L.I.D. in the vicinity of "M" Place, Honey Creek Drive and 14th Avenue North, advised that more time is needed since the Committee is awaiting report from the City Engineer and information from Metro.

Park Director Coulon reported verbally that the Park Board has considered the grandstand as a separate matter because it was initiated at the Council level and moneys budgeted by the Mayor and Council therefor so the Board had considered it apart from the Capital Improvement Six Year Program heretofore. This year however, at the suggestion of the Capital Improvement Priority Committee, the grandstand was included in 1967 within the six-year Capital Improve- ment Plan. The Park Board still feels that since it was initiated by the Council it is a separate item.

The sum of $2,000.00 is needed in each Jr. High School area to provide for skates, repairs, etc. and each family was requested to make a contribution to the Roller Skating Fund which would mae the goal readily obtainable.

Councilman Perry felt that since the bids were awarded on legal publications to a daily paper rather than the local weekly, a day should be selected for the publica- tions so that the public could buy the paper on a specific day if they wished to see the City's legals, and moved that Thursday be the publication day. The motion was seconded by Schellert. Discussion ensued regarding advisability of a definite date, the City Attorney pointing out that if a hearing is held on the following Monday it would not be too much Notice to the public involved whereas it might be published earlier or in other instances where adequate notice is required and the Civil Service Commission meets on Tuesday problems may result with inadequate notice or having to wait a whole week. Setting a date might hamper the Council in its own efforts. Further comments were made regarding coverage and circulation as they might pertain in accord or against the motion and included comments that this should be left up to the discretion of the City Clerk and perhaps the Times publication manager Les Jenkins. It was pointed out that the people now pick up one paper but would have to subscribe for each daily if they wanted to be sure and see the City's legals if a specific day were not set, Vote was called for on the pending motion and upon verbal majority no vote the motion was declared lost. Moved by Morris, seconded by Poli, to adjourn. Carried. The meeting was adjourned at 9:55 p.m. There were 20 visitors in the Council Chambers. Helmie Nelson, City Clerk D, W.

Committee of the Whole Recommendations: Grandstand '' t,r Richard Stredicke complimenting Council Members on stalling techniques in regard to prior action and in the present delay, anticipated hope for more ex- pn-d ence following the hearing. Tom Teasdale, Park Board Member, pointed out that $20,000.00 has been expended for 1.4 -s in L;_barty Park and if the grandstand were going to be placed otherwise this consideration should have been determined then, or even 20 years ago, the mater been discussed periodically over that time. He also felt there were enough q-1'2t areas with recreation areas now needed where the children could play. He was nc" against the public hearing but felt careful consideration should be given in recya d to the location. Mr. Robert Beebe, having worked with the Little League ball teams, Babe Ruth and Connie Ma - :`:t`_. which he has travelled about, having,' found adequate facilities in other Cities to provide for the athletic events, felt that Renton should proceed to secure eke facilities. r"Ounc*1man Delaurenti pointed out that this ha,.--It been an overnight discussion, that It has been kicked around since the old grandstand burned down and that was 25 ye.-:::s ago, and although he was in sympathy with MrF O'Harra and her thinking, he was not. g.-in to change his opinion. mfr.. -03h! ,.ist added that the Council has been working with the matter for 5 years and has been putting money aside in the budget for a grandstand in Liberty Park and would l,I,,e to see it finalized when the money is available to do so, pointing out that when Public hearing was held on the new city hall proposal nobody was interested enough to alis; r on a tatter of some$1,400,000.00 and now when a little is to be spent for t e children it is delayed. In her opinion this could not be compared to a Library or �1 City ::all and the motion should be voted down. Cc::n%i_1a� Ci_^nini called attention to the fact that an architect had been hired to %il11 p:ban the park, that it had been difficult to raise the $55,000.00 to complct:: 1 : -=,'.rst phase of the grandstand which had been included in the plan in Liberty T.>�r ;-hat it would cost some $30,000.00 for the taxpayers to put the lights in C^d r 1vL_r park, -5,500 to fill Cedar River Park and some $15,000.00 to ., urf and install .prs.r'�iing system and then it would be three years before the ground would be ready t,< pray on Vnereas, if Liberty Park is used it would not cost the taxpayers any more as this is as good a playfield as there is in the Northwest, many fathers and CI-__ldren and grandfathers before them having used the field. 1'0 -or Custer pointed out that the matter before the Body at present is the motion to hcd the pi_blic hearing. I ouncilman Hulse pointed out that most of our major capital improvements have been discussed over a number of years and location determined when they finally decide io build and since construction would not begin until next fall a delay at this time for public hearing would not appreciably hold anything up. 'ipon inquiry by Mayor Custer, City Attorney Shellan advised that a public hearing is rio'- required by law. ,ouncilman Bruce advised of continued support of the Park Board and efforts of those (!2sirous of getting a grandstand but he felt a public hearing should be held to keep everyone happy, Question was called for on the pending motion which was voted upon and carried setting March 20th as date for public hearing on the matter: The Committee of the Whole had recommended that the balance of $55,000.00 required to fu-d aha-,.I of the grandstand construction be financed from unassigned surplus with referral for necessary legislation.

Lindy Aliment, Appl. R-378-67, from R-1 and BP to L-1, property located at 414 Tobin Street. Rezone recommended and zoning would be in agreement with the Comprehensive Plan. Moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, to ooncur in the rezone. Councilman Schellert called attention to location of the subject property,which is behind Kingens and extends over to Tobin Avenue where residential areas-now.-exist; and requested the Planning Director to explain how properties adjacent to this L-1 would be protected. Planning Director Ericksen advised thatlhe Comprehensive Plan shows all of this area going -LT- , the entire length of Airport Way now under heavy commercial and light industrial use at present. A portion of this lot now used for Business Parking will be extended down to Tobin which would open up this area to Tobin as far as access in concerned. lie do not have specific requirementas as far as screening or ccr''rol that would protect except those which are imposed upon the party when they come in for a building permit and are asked to provide streening. The adjacent owners have not complained about the property and applicant has expressed wish to cause as little problem as possible to the neighborhood and the City has tried to work with the people the same way. This is definite.-,,,.y a transitional area and it is felt that gradual development will phase the residential use out. Most dwellings are older frame type and the people have lived their all of their lives but are gradually moving away. Councilman Bruce requested to be excused for the remainder of the meeting and was granted permission to leave at this time. Councilman Schellert stated the Planning Department should be encouraged to work with these people in these areas where we are faced with a transition to L-1. This being an older area and property owners having been there a long time it was felt very essential that a measure of protection be provided for these people. Audience comment and further Council remarks were invited and since there were none, the pending motion was put to vote and carried. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Delaurenti, to refer the rezone to the Law and Ordinance Committee. The motion carried. Letter from the City Attorney in reply to Council inquiry as to whether Airport Deeds carry restrictions as to use, advised that from information in files as furnished by the City Clerk on said conveyance and interim permit issued by R.F.C. hisreport is based strictly on the wording of the Quit Claim Deed from the U.S. of America and Reconstruction Finance Corporation dated September 25, 1947 conveyed to the City and if there were any subsequent changes or modifica- tions this opinion would need to be amended or modified accordingly. The Quit Claim Deed, in Paragraph (1) specifies that the property is transferred and " ..,, shall be used for public airport purposes, and only for such purposes, on reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination. ...". In addition, paragraph (2), subsections (1) and (2), specify that the City shall prevent any use of:t'se lands which would be a hazard to the landing, taking-off, ou maneuvering of aircraft at the airport, or otherwise limit its usefulness as an airport; and that all building areas and non-aviation facilities within the airport premises shall be used, altered or improved only in a manner which would not interfere with the efficient operation of the landing area and of the airport facilities. Incidentally, this Quit Claim Deed contains a reversionary clause in favor of the Grantor. Mr. Shellan pointed out that it is readily apparent that the government saw fit to impose certain restrictions on the use of the airport property. The question of whether a road for the vehicular traffic along the north boundary of the premises would constitute a hazard was not felt to be a legal question but one which would come within the jurisdiction of the Airport Board which under the law is entrusted with the operation and maintenance of the Airport. If such Board, based on proper evidence and possibly including the opinions of experts, determines that any such roadway would be a hazard or may interfere with the operation of the airport, or that the use of such road would not be for public airport purposes, then such determination in any case would be considered conclusive. This opinion is limited to the airport premises as conveyed by the government to the City but the restrictions imposed also specify that any land outside the boundaries of the airport shall not be used so as to constitute a hazard to the operation of aircraft which would undoubtedly apply to zonings so as to elimsnate high rise or other structures which would interfere or constitute probable dangers to airplanes. Copies of the report had been directed to various Departments of the City and to the Airport Manager. -2- 41 -2'77 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 3-13-67 COMMUNICATIONS: (Cont.)

A letter from Jack Wilson, City Engineer advised of the need for Bond Counsel to assist in selling bonds to finance the proposed Lake Washington Sanitary Sewer L.I.D. and it was recommended thatthe firm of Roberts, Shefelman, Lawrence, Gay & Moch be retained for such services. Also, the nature of the project requires services of a consulting engineer and since the fi rm of Carey and Kramer have already prepared a preliminary report on this project, it was deemed to the City's advantage to have them also do the final design. A proposal for the final design engineering was attached. All engineering and bond counsel fees are chargeable to the L.I.,D, District and would be included within the total cost of the project. The estimated cost of the project for bond sale purposes was anticipated to be $270,000.00. Due to the need for detailed engineering study required prior to making the preliminary estimates of cost for the assessment roll, and July 31st being a 5th Monday, August 7, 1967 was the date recommended to hold the hearing. Discussion ensued regarding costs for special services in event the proposal is turned down„ It was pointed out that this L.I.D. is being initiated due to health hazard and Perry noted that unanimous vote is required to initiate it if the City uses its police power therefor and upon inquiry City Attorney Shellan advised that if protest over 60% is received the City can proceed upon recommendation of the Health Director provided there is unanimous approval by the Council, through its police power. If for some reason the L�I,D, were not consumated costs might be lost, however City Engineer Wilson advised in any event the study would be utilized later so they would not lose the money- -3- 278 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 3-13-67 COMMUNICATIONS: (Cont.)

PUBLIC HEARING: Grandstand - Location and Financing This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Mayor Custer for information of the audience suggested, in regard for differences of opinions and viewpoints, that a presentation be made regarding the proposed grandstand plans and action taken to date. Councilman Schellert, requested a ruling from the Chair as to the order of business before the Council on the subject of the grandstand. Mayor Custer stated his contention that the Council unanimously adopted the minority report of the Committee of the Whole calling for a public hearing, the Council therefore wishing to hold a public hearing but that the Committee of the Whole majority report to build the grandstand in Liberty Park would again be the matter before the body after the public hearing has been concluded. Schellert requested ruling that the majority vote of the Council to hold a public hearing thereby nullifies action recommending that the grandstand be built in Liberty Park. Mayor Custer stated opinion that thp, Council intent was to delay action on its majority report until such time as the hearing could be held and after consulting with City Attorney Shellan it was his ruling that the hearing was in order being thereby no attempt by the Council majority to either approve nor disapprove the March 6th recom- mendation nor to refute the report by setting the hearing; the minority report was allowed by the Chair and March 20th subsequently set for hearing which in effect tables the subject of the Committee of the Whole recommendation until such time as the hearing has been held. Hearing continued with resume by Mayor Custer who outlined the proposals as dis- played on the wall by various drawings and sketches. Artists concept for the grandstand in Liberty Park was shown with total cost projected at $134,000.00, it being pointed out. however, that no bids were taken and some time has elapsed since such estimate was received. The present proposal is to build the center section only at estimated cost of $95,000.00. Two wings to be added later with storage area underneath projected to the sides. Included were locker room & .nhower facilities, public restrooms, small office and concession area. Also shown was proposed Cedar River Park complex as prepared for the City by Architects, Olsen-Richert, Inc. and including in the drawing was specific facility placement which included parking area multi-use field (football, soccer, fastball, and baseball), picnic areas with kitchen ;shelter areas, restrooms, amphitheater for -1- 233 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 3-20.67 PUBLIC HEARING: Grandstand - Location and Financing (Cont.) little theatre productions, concerts, civic celebrations, etc., play areas, quiet area and some landscaping and other small improvements as might be added according to moneys available. The present grandstand plan will necessitate removal of two lights now existing on either side of the center section. Gross floor area will be 54 x 51 for each section and the center will seat approximately 400 persons. Councilman Morris requested reading of the Committee of the Whole recommendation fora the Minutes of March 6th and Councilman Schellert requested reading of the Minority report. Committee of the Whole majority report recommended construction of the grandstand in Liberty Park and the minority report recommended full disclosure of plans regarding location and financing of the grandstand at a public hearing on March 20th. Councilman Morris added that the Committee of the Whole had also recommended financing of $55,000.00 needed to complete Phase I from unassigned surplus, which matter was pending conclusion of the public hearing. Mayor Custer recalled that the City, over the past four years, had budgeted some $37,500 toward the new grandstand with $95,000 beoiiestimated cost for construction of the Phase I center section. Communications were read from Renton Aerie No. 1722, Fraternal Order of Eagles and The Mayor's Youth Guidance Committee supporting the location of Liberty Park for the new grandstand, Letter from the Renton Municipal Arts Commission stated they are proud of the new library and city hall plans for Liberty Park which when completed, including beautification of the Cedar River Banks, will render Liberty Park an outstanding place of beauty and it was requested that the location for the grandstand be given careful consideration. Audience comment was invited and speaking in support of Liberty Park as location for the proposed grandstand were Mr. Ron Brannon, on behalf of the Jaycees; Mr. Al Fenwick, 12103 SE. 152nd Place, Renton on behalf of the Cascade Vista Athletic Club with immediate commencement of construction being urged; Ted Warren, 17023 - 106th Ave. S �E., Renton and Richard Dierst, 323 North Williams, on behalf of St. Anthonys boys teams who endorse the location and acknowledge the need which the new facility will accommodate; Mr. Paul Houser, Municipal Judge, 1909 Monterey Drive, also member of the Youth Guidance Committee, speaking on behalf of the Renton Athletic Committee and outlining other groups and organizations who had indicated their support of the Liberty Park location. It was urged that the City protect its investment in lighting ground conditioning, etc. over many years which have made Liberty Park the best playfield in the Northwest and with added facilities as planned would be an asset which might be utilized by various clubs and organizations other than athletics, and since funds are available and the facility needed now early action to implement the M construction was urged. Mr. Richard Stredicke, 3916 - 10th Court North, pointed out that the project has been under consideration for four years, it was no sudden decision and that when lights were put in Liberty Park it was felt that Cedar River Park was unsuitable for a lighted ballfield. It was pointed out that this had been a technical matter involving the funding and Councilman Hulse added that the City does plan that Cedar River Park will be used for park purposes after the new City Hall is completed and that the Council did not take action on the light location until the Park Board had made its recommendation that they be installed in Liberty Park. Frank Aliment, 128 Capri., recalled that the park has been in its present location for many years, having played there himself 50 years ago and that when Renton had only 4000 population it had a grand stand and surely needs one now. Kirk Schrieber advised that Sports, Incorporated is forming a pony league of Renton boys and is behind the grandstand plan for Liberty Park.Mr, Charles Shane advised that he, along with Jim Barei and Joe Ptzhich, sponsored various teams and it was their understanding that there was to be a grandstand in Liberty Park; that it is needed right now and when the City can spend a million dollars without putting it up to vote of the people he doesn't think time should be spent having the people come down for something that is needed. Frank Cooper, 518 Grandey Way called attention to availability of parking at the library and after hours at the new city hall. Tom Teasdale, Park Board Member requested the Mayor to point out proposed parking areas utilizing the state highway right-of-way which the Mayor did from one of the Architects drawings stating that said area could be utilized and the City would need to pave and provide for drainage. Mr. Jon Hupp, 12647 S.E. 162nd, Renton, stated that the problem is finding enough area for the leages and more facilities are needed not less. Councilman Schellert recalled mention of the freeway construction in connection with decision to use Cedar River Park Acquisition funds for installation of Liberty Park ballfied lights and requested reading of the Resolution for clarification of Council action taken in that regard. The Mayor.then read therefrom ". . . WHEREAS, the Cedar River Park area by reason of the highway condemnation and construction of banks and abutments in support of said highway is not suitable or desireble for the construction or maintenance of a lighted baseball field inasmuch as the proper location would be interfered with by the existing highway structure and other reasons, the City Council deems it totbe best interest and for the benefit of the public to provide and establish a lighted ballfield within the Liberty Park area with funds therefore being available for said purpose. , . �" -2- 284 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 3-20-67 PUBLIC HEARING: Grandstand - Location and financing Persons speaking in opposition or objecting to location of the grandstand in Liberty Park were Randy Rockhill, 141 Capri, Municipal Arts Commission member who felt that instead of the old Renton a tew Renton attitude should be taken and the City's anticipated expansion considered, and if it costs a bit more and is what the people want that is what should be done, Renton not being a poor City;and instead of developing an eyesore, it was felt that Cedar River Park would provide less future trouble in relation to increase in population and need for recreation facilities than if it goes in Liberty Park. Lillian Plute, a member of the League of Women Voters, did not feel Liberty Park should be overcrowded but having a son in Little League did realize the need for more facilities. John Burleson, 9321-104th Avenue S.E., Kennydale Community Church Athletic Committee and Renton Ministerial Association Member stated that he did not believe adequate parking could be provided for 400 cars having the grandstand in Liberty Park which could be available in Cedar River Park which has the technical capacities for the need. Since Liberty Park is crowded as it is now and there is money to proceed so that delay would not result in this respect it was felt that the City should proceed in Cedar River Park which was felt to be the best location in concern for long range planning. Peg Shideler, Park Board Member, added that Cedar River Park Development isn't that far off, that Liberty Park should be left for the little children and if the development goes into Liberty Park there will be even less area for them than before. They don't need a grandstand and the adults or 16 and over could use Cedar River Park and this would be the beginning of development of this area. She outlined the actions taken in regard to financing and pointed out that additional parking facilities would be very costly to provide for Liberty Park . Her views were in the minority in this case the majority of the Park Board favoring Liberty Park. Mr. Les Falkenhagen, 1148 Lake Street suggested that Liberty Park be left as is and available funds be used for additional development of recreational facilities in Cedar River Park. Mr. Frank Storey recalled various locations of the park and its subsequent development over the years to its present location and felt that since the development has waited this long and more activity is needed on the Cedar River Park side and less on the Liberty Park side, another year is not of consequence and since money is set aside the multi-purpose stadium should be in Cedar River Park where there is plenty of space. Mrs. Frank O'Harra stated that there was no wish to take the ballfield away from the children but in speaking of the grand stand project she wondered just how old a child they were talking about - semi-pro and big league teams were not the children she had in mind to put in that grandstand. The present facilities in Liberty Park she felt were adequate since not over 100 people are sitting in the grandstand, and she has watched many a game. If her group wishes to plant shrubbery and flowers to beautify the park area-they are supposed to be developed for the good of all the community not one group whose interest is athletics and are sentimentally moved since their grandparents played here. It was requested that Liberty Park be left as is and when looking out from the beautiful new facilities one does not have to look at the back of a grand stand. She recommended the money be spent to increase the size of the pool or developing the Sweet Center building. Mrs. Martha Wiberg questioned adding the cost of Phase I to the lights in Liberty Park urging use of Cedar River Park since the Park Board has been offered its use. Peggy Bardarson 320 Renton Avenue, Board Member of Allied Arts called for non-sentimental action requesting the Council to react re--ponsibly, to be flexible, to evaluate and re- evaluate and not hold to a position no longer appropriate. So much has changed and City Government should be responsive to the needs of the present and not those of 50 years ago. Mis, Richard Negley inquired regarding construction schedule and was advised that it was planned to wait until the end of the season to start the Liberty Park construction. If put in Cedar River Park Mrs. Negley had checked with the Seattle Park Department and was told with certain resodding and planting it could be used next spring. Mr. Bill Cline, 221 Smithers Street, a new resident of the City stated his opinion that the do-it-now attitude could cause problems citing problems Tacoma encountered and urged using Cedar River Park where there is space. Elisabeth Rivily favored Cedar River Park stating that Renton is moving toward a city of the first class and should be thinking as a first class city; that with the freeway proximity and geography it is logical that Cedar River Park be a first class urban park. Mrs. Lall, 12521 - 86th South expressed opinion that only a miniature grandstand would fit in Liberty Park. Park Board Member Tom Teasdale stated that the Park Board is not against the development of Cedar River Park but that the grandstand and facilities are needed in Liberty Park as well and are needed now and the facility should be built to go with the lights already in with anticipation of future development of Cedar River Park. Frank Aliment pointed out that the City expansion will soon require that the City garage and street and shop areas be increased as there is need for additional equipment and maintenance and storage area, not too many years away and people are not going to want that in their residential areas. Thought should be given to use of Cedar River Park, with -£toneway, Rainier Asphalt and the river being detrimental to park area it would be ideal for relocation of the garage and equipment storage, and the City should look for new park area rather than having to buy for a garage. -3- 285 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 3-20-67 PUBLIC HEARING: Grandstand - Location & Financing (Cort.)

PUBLIC HEARING: Ray H. Ball appeal of Planning Commission decision denying R-3 as zoning on property at 12th Avenue North between 0 St.-N Place. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communication was read from Planning Director Ericksen reporting Planning Commission action which was based upon considerations that subject area is the site of two single family residential dwellings surrounded on the North, East, and West by single family residential development and requested R-3 zoning does not comply with Single- Family Residential zoning indicated on the Comprehensive Plan. The Commission opinion was that SR-1 would be the appropriate zoning classification for this property and R-3 was not approved. A Petition containing 240 signatures was presented objecting to R-3 zoning of the property. Assistant Planning Director Magstadt was requested to explain location and outline circumstances, and area was designated on wall map, Mr. Magstadt pointing out that the present zoning of GS-1 provides for 35,000 sq. ft. lot size and the Planning Commission SR-1 recommendation would require 7500 sq. ft. to allow single family residences rather than multiple use. Councilman Schellert, called for opinion of the City Attorney as to action which the Council might legally take since the requested R-3 does not conform to the Comprehensive Plan. City Attorney Shellan advised that the Council cannot take any action to rezone to R-3 unless the Comprehensive Plan is revised. Upon inquiry it was pointed out that the entire area originally included in the rezone request was 19,200 ft. which had subsequently been revised to include 9,100 sq. ft. Audience mnment was invited and Mr. Ball stated that his property had been purchased 25 years ago with the plan in mind that part of it would be used for fv`'jre retirement income and that he wished now to build a 4-plex on part of it 100' x 70' . He had cows at one time and had to get rid of them because dogs and children chased and scared them and now the neighbors don't want to be crowded by four units which he and his wife wish to build for retirement security. With R-3 only 3 doors away Mr. Ball felt he should be allowed the R-3 for his 4-plex or otherwise would feel he is being subjected to discrimination. Opposing the rezone, Mr. Gerald Nichols, 1118 "Ni" Street, stated neighboring homes had built in good faith that the area would be single family residences the other multiple dwellings having been built prior to there being a Comprehensive Plan, the projects coming in one after another and if allowed this time it would be like cancer since people would not want to build residences behind they would say there is an apartment there now so why not more. Apartments bring high density and the residents of the area now desire to maintain resi;lential use for single families only in that area. -1- Wys Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 4-3-67 HEARING: Ray H. Ball appeal of Planning Commission decision (Cont.) Other members of the audience opposing the rezone and addressing the Council were Mr. L. W. Atwood, 1115 N Place North, pointing out that the Comprehensive Plan should be observed and the highlands area retained as is, a . residential area. He cited his experience in a 62 unit app-rtment and problems of parking, noise, traffic restricted play area for children and overcrowding of schools and facilities. Mrs. Margaret Hansen, 3418, 10th Ct. No. remarked that the present spot zoning occurred because the residents weren't aware the construction was going on and that any future owner of this property would not feel he was restricted if this were allowed now. Also, others are waiting for this approval and will appeal their applications for specific zonings that have not been granted. Mr. Ralph Evans, 3309 - 10th Place North added that should this be rezoned no offer would be made on the balance of the property for single family use and as far as the residents are concerned such zoning would be a foot in the door. Schellert inquired as to whether Mr. Ball would be receptive to the SR-1 zoning proposed by the Planning Commission which is the best and highest use for the property and Mr. Ball said he cared not for SR-1 zoning. It was noted that the present apartments were built prior to adoption of the City's Comprehensive Plan and since there was no further comment at this time, it was moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli,that the hearing be closed. The motion was carried and the hearing declared closed with further Council action invited. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Morris, in view of the Comprehensive Plan, that the decision of the Planning Commission denying the R-3 zoning of this property be upheld. Inquiry was made by Dale Olsen as to whether the SR-1 recommendation of the Planning Commission was implemented by this action and it was pointed out that this was not before the Council only appeal of the decision to deny R-3 and any other Zoning would require application to be filed by the property owner. The motion carried. PRELIMINARY MEETING WITH PROPERTY OWNER: Wood-Eidson annexation - Property located East of 132nd Avenue S.E. and South of S.E. 120th Place. Mr. Ted Thorsen was present to represent the property owners and inquiry was made by Councilman Schellert whether owners were willing to accept proportionate share of the pre-existing bonded indebtedness of the City in event of annexation. Mr. Thorsen stated he had been authorized to reply in the affirmative to the inquiry. Mrs. Hansen inquired regarding existing trailers on the property for which King County had given a six months approval. Upon inquiry, City Engineer Wilson reported that the land under consideration for annexation is only the West 180 ft. of this S acre tract and does not include any portion where trailers are located.

Seating capacity is 46,000 for baseball, 52,000 for football and 66,000 for boxing and the stadium is now under a 40 year lease to a Houston Sports Association. Interesting note was that the turf is manufactured by Monsanto Chemical Corporation and can be rolled up and stored as needed. Also, whenever a home run is made the score board lights up, cowboys shoot in the air and one rushes out and ropes a steer. Planning wise, Washington seems to be moving faster than some states, Texas being in a dither over its spectacular growth. The State Department of Health is the 701 sponsoring agency rather than the Department of Commerce and Economical Development. . .

Carried. -1- 31.3 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 4-24-67 PUBLIC HEARINGS: Vacation - Portion of 12th Place between Blocks 40 and 46, Tract C, Corrected Plat of Renton Highlands No. 2. (M. Lotto et al) This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communication from City Engineer Wilson was read reporting no objection to the vacation, this being an un- opened right-of-way and not a part of the City's Comprehensive Street Plan. Since all utilities are existing in the area there is no need to retain a utility easement. Letter from Planning Director Ericksen reported Commission recommendation from meeting of April 12th that the vacation be approved as requested. Audience comment was invited and Mr. Mike Lotto stated that when the Plat was accepted some years ago an error was evident in that the street was supposed to run one direction and went another and this vacation would correct the situation and the vacation should hr—c` been asked for 3 or 4 years ago and property deeded to the City for proper right of way as it has now been. Moved by Poli, seconded by Gianini, that the hearing be closed. Carried. The hearing was declared closed and further council action invited. Moved by Morris, seconded by Poli, to concur in the recommendation of the Planning Commiesion granting the vacation. The motion carried. PUBLIC HEARING: Vacation of portion of alley South 2nd Street and Logan Avenue South Claudine and George Ames Property This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communications were read from Robert and Betty Putman requesting that the alley not be vacated in the interest of utilizing same for a commercial building which development it was felt would enhance the City by modernizing and architecturally improving the area across from the High School. Letters from Mrs. L. J. Putman and Mary Ann Putman and Colin W. Radford urged that the Council deny the vacation request to allow the commercial development, the alley providing access and egress value to the Putman properties. A letter from City Engineer Wilson reported that the vacation as requested would leave the City with a dead end alley approximately 230' in length which would not be in the City's best interest, although it is doubtful that the alley can be used as platted due to its narrow width and 907. turn. As an alternative the petitioner has offered to deed a new right-of-way out to South 2nd Street along the West side of Lot 5 as a replacement for existing right-of-way so as to consolidate their ownership. This would be preferable to dead ending the alley however unless a portion of Lot 4 could be obtained to develop a turning radius at the 90% bend it would be of doubtful value to the City. A letter from Gordon Y. Ericksen, Planning Director, reported Planning Commission recommendation that the vacation be granted only if a proper turn-around is provided at the Easterly end of the remaining 16 ft. alley. Moved by Poli, seconded by Gianini that action be taken to close the hearing however discussion disclosed that this would preclude further acceptance of alternate proposals as recommended by the City Engineer and Planning Commission. Attorney Shellan suggested that the hearing be continued or held in abeyance . Garrett spoke against closing the hearing suggesting that the petitioner be advised of the need for the turning radius and not only an additional 16 ft. dedication to relocate the right-of-way which petitioner has offered between lots 4 and 5, the boundary line between the properties. Dahlquist felt the hearing should be closed and action taken on the petition before the Council which is for specific vacation and vote it down and allow a new proposal to be submitted. Vote on the pending motion followed. Motion,by majority no verbal vote, was declared lost. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Hulse, that the hearing be continued to next week's council meeting, May 1st. Dahlquist inquired whether the hearing was to be continued on the vacation of the area petitioned for or something additional that has been presented. Mayor Custer stated that the only thing before the Council is the vacaV`)n of the area as shown on the maps and that is the subject being continued. Schellert inquired whether petitioner has been apprised of the prospect of a turn around or additional alley right of way and The City Engineer replied that petitioner is aware of this wl-ich is why they had proposed to deed an equal amount of right of way on the West side of Lot 5 and later provide turn arround. Mr. Coleman, representative for the property owners, is in San Francisco and unable to be present this evening. Attorney Shellan advised that should the Council wish to relocate the alley notice of public hearing would again need to be given on the relocation or other portion to be vacated as an alternative. Garrett added that the petitioner could come in with a new proposal at the continued hearing and the Council would have to act in accordance with the law but the petitioner may or may not be interested in such revision and this is what the Council . would want to know. The pending motion carried. -2- 314 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 4-24-67 COMMUNICATIONS : Preliminary meeting with property owner on proposed annexation of property in the vicinity of S .E. 84th Street and Lake Wn. Blvd. was held at this time. There were no communications to be read and property owners present included Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fawcett, Mr. Curt Agren and Mrs. Ditler Berg. Mr. Fawcett was to speak on behalf of the group and Councilman Schellert inquired whether the property owners were willing to assume their pro-rata shares of the City's pre-existing bonded indebtedness upon annexation of their properties. - Mr. Fawcett replied that the owners understand and are willing to accept. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Perry, to favorably consider the annexation of this property authorizing the property owners to circulate a proper petition which shall bear statement of willingness to assume the pre-existing ;.ndebtedness as affirmed. Carried. Mrs. Berg inquired whether the zoning placed on their property will remain the same as designated by the County if they annex to Renton and Planning Director Ericksen advised that the area upon annexation is automatically placed into a "holding classification" of "G" or General which is single family residence classification. In order to rezone,an application for rezone would need to be filed with the Planning Commission. It was pointed out that the Berg property adjoins othet multiple use pr6perties and was zoned multiple use by the County at the same time which is more advantageous to them for resale purpose. Mayor Custer advised that the Land Use Map designates the use and rezoning re- quest if not the same would likely not be approved. The map was not available to check present anticipated use but Fanning Director Ericksen recalled that the area is pre- dominantly single family residential insofar as the Comprehensive Plan is concerned. A letter from Renton Aviation Board, C. L. Day, President, reported Board authorization for the President of the Board and the Airport Manager to attend the American Assn. of Airport Executives 1967 Annual Conference in Louisville, Kentucky, May 20 - 24, 1967. Favorable consideration of the Council was requested. Moved by Morris, seconded by Garrett, to grant attendance of Mr. Day and Mr. Grabner as requested. Carried. A letter from Park Director Gene Coulon reported that the Park Board had considered the Balsa Hawks request for space in Cedar River Park for the flying of model airplanes and it had been pointed out that areas presently utilized by this organization are isolated from all other activity areas, one a part of a 450 acre tract at Marymoor and the other part of 140 acres at Carkeeir Park.

A letter from Jack Wilson, City Engineer, reported that petition filed April 10th for creation of Sanitary Sewer L.I.D. within area bounded by Lake Wn. Blvd, 100th Ave. S .E. S.E. 88th and S.E . 96th Streets was signed by owners representing 55% of the lineal frontage upon the proposed improvement and by 52.34 of the area within the proposed district, which constitutes a valid petition. It was pointed out, however that the proposed 1.I.D. is situated in the Kennydale area which at this time is entirely un- sewered and other areas should be included in any district which might be created. Also, an annexation is presently pending whose petitioners have stated their main reason for annexation to be for purpose of obtaining sanitary sewers. A larger L.I.D. would generally produce a lower individual assessment due to a more favorable bid and a greater sharing capacity of the costs. It was the recommendation of the Engineering Department that the City give consideration to initiating an L.I.D. to include all of the Kennydale area within the City lying Westerly of the Freeway. At the time of hearing the City has the option to delete areas if desirable and proceed with the balance of the district if 60% protest is not filed. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the recommendation of the City Engineer with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee for Resolution declaring intent to create the L.I.D.

Councilman Pedersen, Property Committee Chairman, reported investigation in connection with request of Mr. Harold Mellor to rent city-owned properties at South 3rd Street in Black River Channel area and it was found that encroachment by adjacent property owners has reached a point where restrictive action has become necessary and the Com- mittee recommended that the owners of Renton Transmission Specialists, 100 - 3rd Street be directed to remove all vehicles from the city property as soon as possible. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Poli, to concur. Carried.

No permanent buildings will be constructed and property will be used for display purposes.

The motion was seconded by Gianini. Perry suggested a definite period of time be given in regard to the $135.00 fee, the lower rental being allowed because of the development, clean-up and improvement contribution.

Dobson, written on behalf of St. Andrews Lodge No. 35, F. & A.M., appealed Planning Commission decision to deny a rezone of property between "M" and X" Streets on 10th Avenue North, from SR-1 to P-1. Pedersen ubted that the requested zoning was not in accord with the Land Use Map and inquired regarding proper action to be taken. Planning Director Ericksen reported that the area is presently zoned SR-1, single family residential and this is also projected for the future use of the area. City Attorney Shellan advised that the applicants have the right to appeal but the Council cannot legally proceed if the proposed zoning does not agree with the Comprehensive Plan. Planning Director Ericksen stated that the applicants are aware of this fact but wished to submit the appeal with hope that it would result in a study to determine feasibility of their plan to build a facility with Medical-Dental offices on the main floor and Lodge quarters upstairs, which would be allowed under P-1. In discussion it was pointed out that recent appeals had been denied for multiple zoning in the subject area and that the Planning Commission had decided to reject the proposal since it was pretty well defined that it was not acceptable as submitted. Discussion ensued regarding alternate actions which might be taken which included a change in the zoning ordinance to allow permit for private bodges, otherwise, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, the former, however not allowing the clinic facili4ies which financial support is needed. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Poli, that the date of May 15, 1967 be set for hearing on the matter, applicants to be notified that since the request is not in accord with the Comprehensive Plan it likely will not be granted. Hulse pointed out that the Comprehensive Plan is to protect the people and the City and the issue is not how to evade the plan but whether the people are willing and the facility is a proper one for the area. Dahlquist felt it would be an improvement to the present condition of the property and that progress should not be deterred. The Planning Director stated position of the Planning Staff as far a changes are concerned, their advice to applicants being that they can submit a letter to the Planning Commission requesting study or they may make official application and request that the Commission hold this for study and possible change in the Comprehensive Plan, and this is what the present applicants were told, however they wished to make application in order to have this as official action on their part. After further discussion on applicants intent for a study, possible rezone actions and speculation of conclusions and facts a public hearing would bring forth, the pending motion for hearing and notification to applicants carried. _I_ 321 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 5_1_67 :,JLiC HEARING: (Cont.) Since Mr. Ernie Coleman, representing vacation petitioner, arrived, it was moved by Pedersen, seconded by Poli, that the matter of the publichearingon the proposed vacation of alley per petition of '_eorge and Claudine Ames, be taken from the table. Carried. The hearing was declared continued and since the Clerk reported that no additional communications had been received, audience comment was invited. Mr. Ernie Coleman advised that Standard Service Tire Company was the party interested in the vacation since it anticipated expansion of facilities which would require the additional property which lies between their site and the one they plan to acquire. They cannot utilize the lot if it remains separated however and it was noted that this alley is used very little and the property contains a dilapidated run down facility and the im- provement as proposed would be an asset to the City. If the City insists that there be an alley in the proximity to 2nd it was proposed that the alley be allowed to run on the Westerly Si _e of got 5 which would provide the same as now exists, their feeling being however that it has never served any purpose presently being covered over with brush and rose bushes and practically impassable. It was noted that the alley is to no avail without a turn around which might be a hammerhead type which could be pro- vided within a 40 f•;:, radius or the circular type which would require 60 ft. diameter. It was suggested this matter 'buld be resolved and the alley moved at the time the building proposal was submitted to the Building Department. Mr. Coleman . added that if ,, when working faith the City Engineer it was felt the City absolutely had to have such an alley, arrangements would be made for the relocation, a hammerhead being more desirable than backing out, if such provision is to be required. The property cannot be utilized as it presently exists. Mr. Colin Radford, Realtor, speaking on behalf of the Ames Family and Estate, who originally opposed -the vacation, advised that relocation of the alley to the Easterly boundary of their property will-remove their objection and they will go along with the vacation, Upon legality inquiry regarding relocation of an alley, City Attorney Shellan 3vised that an alley can legally be vacated if there is a show that no one is denied access and the City policy requiring 100;0 ownership to sign is met. In this case there would be a vacation and rededication by a deed from the owner of lot 5, dedicating the westerly 16 ft. of lot 5, A public hearing would need to be held because this is re- locating of an alley a;id when the quit claim deed is executed the City would be free to vacate and relocate the alley. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Gianini, that the hearing be closed. Carried. T`- "eating was declared closed. Moved by Garrett, 'that tio-.er be advaeC = I willing to dedicate the 16 ft. alley on the west side of Lot 5, the Cbuncil, upon receipt of dedication document would vacate the portion requested and relocate the alley, Following proper public hearing. Hulse secobded the motion which r_.d• - �a`: _ noted that application would have to be made at the time the party was ready it being pointed out that a new council may be officiating if they wait too long.

PUBLIC HEARJ,NG: Comprehensi v_e.Plarl fdt SeaUtif icattoh of the City of Menton This being de date set, the heart g was declared open. There were fid written mm counicai b s to be presented andgudience comment was invited. Aodb speaking and urging a option of the Plan deluded Randy Rockhill, representative of the Beautification Committee and the Municipal Arts Commission who wish to see Renton as other mdViiring communities, moving along in its beautification efforts with the rest of the Country, wanting to eliminate mistakes by this program of planning to be followed,.ds a basic comprehensive plan for the future, also to be estdblished in event of application for Federal funds. Mr, Felix Campanella on behalf of Allied Arts in the absence of Chairman, Mrs. Bardarson, representing views of the Board and 400 members urged endorsement and acceptance by the Council of this guide to serve in the years to come in the beautification of our community. Mr. David Johnston, Chairman of the County Municipal Art Commission pointed the program out as a place of beginning to be implemented at an e*rly date,to promote the enjoyment of environment deemed to be a deterring factor to mental problems as well as many other problems which will be straightened out when the beautification of environment is straightened out so people might stop to enjoy the beauty. It is said a lot of do-gooders are required to have beautification but if we wait until the large utility problems are resolved it will probably never come about so action should be taken now. The, C�ommittees were commended and it was noted that the County is behind -the program which is catching on all over the State, Mrs. 2appaio, former member of the Governor's Beautification Committee for Century 21 added that in order to get Federal,assistance a functioning plan must be in effect and although there may be room for improvement this is a place to start. Mr. Teegardeni Member of the 5eautification Committee and Planning Commission noted wrrk and efforts of several persons in various aspects of community service and their re- spective capacities in completion of the plan and although there is room for improve- ment it was his recommendation and that of the Planning Commission that the Council approve the Plan, and it was suggested that the approval be unanimous. Councilman H--niy Schellert noted that the Plan is to represent a policy statement for the City toward improvement of environment and since it is to be an official statement,attention was called to the a0ei radix which in effect becomes a Capital Prior*tY _1�rogram involving moneys in the Beautification Cumulative Reserve Fuhdk Mayo' COAter pointed out that the intent of the content does not limit txpetditures to the Cumulative Itabd and in event of securing Federal Aid .the priority list Wbuld be subject to that also and subject to the actinh•cfif•the Council regarding priority dhd whatever fund with sufficient keserVe w Uld be appropriate therefor, Mr. Rockhill added that it was necessary to list Actual pr, ority items for a concrete plan and not just someday that someone do something and it was ex- pected that the Council would naturally adopt- and ' 'roVe the projects. Schellert moved t1lat Vie hearing be closed. The mot,icorn wag seconded by Dahlquist and carried. 329 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 5-8-67 PUBLIC HEARING: (Cont.) Councilman Schellert called attent `11 to wording in the first paragraph of the Introduction of the Beautification Comprehensive Plan, the last sentence of which needed revision since it tends to reflect on the central business district c£ the City. He proposed that a period be inserted after the word City with deletion of the remainder of the sentence "center in a spectacular display of confusion". Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Committee of the Whole. Schellert suggested the minor changes be effected and the Plan adopted as amended to prevent delay by Committee referral, especially in view of the presence of the various persons sponsoring the plan. Perry urged Committee referral since budgeting of funds is to be required. Garrett,opposing delay,urged amendment and adoption at this time. Question was called for on the motion to refer to Committee of the Whole and upon dissenting voice vote roll call was requested and resulted as follows: Aye: Dahlquist, Perry, Delaurenti and Poli. No: Trimm, Hulse, Schellert and Garrett , A tie vote was cast and Mayor Custer voted no. The motion lost. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Garrett, to amend the Comprehensive Beautification Plan as suggested by correcting the last sentence of the first paragraph of the Introduction as designated - inserting a period after the word City and deleting remainder of the sentence. The motion carried. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Garrett, that the Comprehensive Plan for Beautification as recommended by the Planning Commission and amended by the City Council be adopted. Dahlquist urged that the Council take another look prior to adoption since there may be need for additional changes and moved to table the matter for two weeks. Perry seconded the motion and upon verbal vote the Chair declared the no vote in majority and the motion as lost. Roll call vote was properly requested and resulted in tie vote as follows: Aye: Dahlquist, Perry, Delaurenti and Poli, with No: Trimm, Hulse, Schellert and Garrett: Mayor Custer voted no and the motion to table was lost. Upon inquiry and discussion regarding designation of moneys and budgeting action to be required, City Attorney Shellan advised that he has prepared a proposed Resolu- tion which would adopt the plan in general as a concept although the plan may require changes from time to time. Since money cannot be spent which has not been budgeted the Resolution does not refer to any funding ,and the only thing before the Council at this time is not how to spend money but whether to adopt the plan as a concept. Vote was taken on the pending motion to adopt the Plan as recommended and revised. The motion carried. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Schellert, to proceed to the next order of business. Carried. COMMUNICATIONS: Letters were read with Council action taken as follows: Helmie Nelson, City Clerk, recommendation for revision to Code to reflect corrected date on City Seal. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the recom- mendation with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Carried. Gene Coulon, Park Director,requested transfer of $271.63 from Cumulative Reserve Fund 1990 to replace lamps in ballfield lighting system, unto Park Department 6120 Account, M. & 0. 417. It was noted that this is a departure from the ususal method of handling this payment. Upon advice of City Clerk Nelson the change was effected but will require numerous transfer requests since the fund pays for energy as well as lamp replacement,with other Cumulative Funds to be effected as well. It was noted by Mrs. Nelson that although she as well as Mr. Coulon and others would prefer the expenditure being made directly out of the Cumulative Fund since it would much faci- litate the transactions for .all,the State Auditor has ruled otherwise and directed transfer to the parent fund for expenditure. Moved by Poli, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur in the fund transfer with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee for necessary Resolution. The motion carried. Park Director Coulon stated that the funding for payment to the firm doing the replacement labor will be required, another item being energy which is shared - cost by the City and 1- by participants using the lights which items will all require transfers in this event Cumulative Fund 1990 having been established for such purposes. Schellert questioned the"ose of said Fund for such a small amount of money recalling that it had originally been felt the use of the field would render it self.-sustaining, and moved that the method of funding for the lamp replacement be referred to the Mayor for recommendation. The motion was seconded by Dahlquist and carried. Helmie Nelson letter advising of need to transfer budgetary allocation inadvertently placed in Firemen's Pension Fund Department 9010 Account 110, Salaries and Wages into Maintenance and Operation Account 510 to be classified as "Other Expense" and to contain disability payments made to Firemen which are reimbursed to the Current Fund. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Hulse, to refer the matter to the Law and Ordinance Committee for proper Resolution.

This being the date set, the hearing was declared open, Communication from the Planning Director was read outlining procedures and recommendations by the Commission to date and basis for the denial of the rezone, Moved by Garrett, seconded .by Delaurenti, that the hearing be continued until June 26th which action was requested by the petitioners per Attorney john Dobson, Carried. 2- Sweazey-Werstiuk Enterprises, appeal of denial of R-4 zoning. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communication from Planning Director Ericksen outlined action taken to date noting that the property is located off S .E . 94th Street ~ Easterly of 108th Place S .E - across from the Kennydale Elementary School, extending to the East and then northerly into the May Crcek area Approximately one-third of the property is hillside and unusable for building purposes. The subject property was recently annexed to Renton prior to which the front portion along 108th Place S.E. for approximately 100 ft. was zoned for multi-family residential use (RM-900) by King County, The Commission felt a low density multiple zoning for the upper portion was feasible, the high density development exceeding practical limitations; 300 units as proposed resulting in 80-100 units per acre on the upper portion. The multi-family development was considered premature since sewers are not available to serve the area, also, the problem of access and increased traffic would compound an already critical situation on 108th Place S:E - and S.E, 94th Inclusion of the portion in May Creek area was no', considered feasible . The Commission recommended to the Council that R-2 zoning would be suitable at this time but excluding the Northeasterly portion extending into the May Creek area, Mr. E , A. Sweazey, 9418 - 108th Place SZ addressed the Council advising that the total area of the subject property is bet-ween 71--8 acres, and that it presently looks like a ,jungle in part. Pictures were distributed from various views and Mr. Sweazey recalled that he had been requested to assist in annexing the entire area which annexation was effected and it had been his understanding that he would be permitted equal zoning as allowed by the County Planning Commission and if he had proceeded he would now have the apartments built, however he feels he has approximately 5 acres which may be utilized for apartment use and in discussing the matter of sewers with Mr. Gibbs of Metro it was indicated that if 1200 users were available a line could come up nearly to Honey Creek and they decided to pursue the sewers and have proper service for the project. He did feel he is entitled to equivalent zoning as when the property was annexed- Mr, Brower, Renton Planning Commission Members inquired as to portion which was zoned Multiple by the County and Mr . Sweazey advised that 120 x 550 ft. plus a 20 ft. alley were covered by the County zoning in off the road- Inquiry was made regarding Metro service and Mr. Sweazey noted that Metro had indicated that the more apartments he would be able to get zoning for the more he could sign up towards the 1000-1200 required for bringing in the service and it was his intention to pursue the installation on acceilerated basis upon rezone of his property wh_ch he felt was to the interest of the entre area since -the sewers would be available to present res=_dents as well, 't was noted that 11etro would not serve an area outside the City, and that the City Core would no-t permit septic tank service -1- . 337 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 5-15-67 PUBLIC HEARING: E. A, Sweazey - Werstiuk Enterprises - (cont.) Mr. Sweazey stated he had moved to the area about a year and a half ago and purchased the property to build apartments and hesitated when he viewed the direct picture and decided to proceed with alternate plans to assure service to the best interest of the development Councilman Poli inquired of Planning Director Ericksen as to the use indicated by the Comprehensive Plan and land use map for the subject area. Planning Director Ericksen pointed out the area on the wall map and advised that it is shown as 2-4 family multiple use and in their interpretation it would be a low density multiple use, the Commission having recommended R-2 accordingly. It was noted that under R-2 approximately 60-units could be constructed on the upper portion but the present application is for the entire parcel. Mr. Ericksen stated that the high density zoning proposed would be in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. Schellert inquired whether under R-2 by Special Permit will they be allowed to go to higher density with approval of the Planning Commission. Mr. Ericksen replied that apartments could be built under R-2 with a Special Permit from the Planning Commission. Mr. Sweazey noted present- R-4 7,oned properties north of Enco three tracts away and it was stated that this area is geographically separated by the steep grade which is why a part of his land was not included in the Planning Commission recommendation, it being considered as two separately distinct areas. Mr. Sweazey stated he had assumed that the R-4 z6ning was the same as the County zoning when he had applied, and that he wished to utilize about 5 acres and reserve three for a green belt and apartment use is a better end=ro reasonablelfor the property and will bring in more taxes than town- houses would be. Moved by Morris, seconded by Poli, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Schellert, to concur with the Planning Commission recom- mendation to deny the zoning as requested. Upon inquiry City Attorney Shellan advised that if the R-4 request is denied and no amendment made by the applicant or Council at this time the matter is closed for six months. If he wants to amend his request at this time the Council can act upon the amended request at this time. Mr. Sweazey was asked whether he wished to amend his application as recommended by the Commission to R-2 except for the northerly portion which extends into the May Creek area. Mr. Sweazey calked attention to the expense of the property and stated his desire to save money by keeping the cost down to where he could rent the units in which event he could not afford the lesser zoning. Garrett noted that the sewer matter should not enter into the Planning Commission consideration of whether R-4 is a ouitable zoning as the apartments cannot be built without a permit which he cannot get at present and it was felt the n-:`Ishould be given further consideration as to the rezone itself and he was not ready to deny the appeal. it seeming to be the highest and best use of the oi$' ,'/ ei4r. Sweazey noted that they could not build at present without the sewer facilities but it was felt if rezoned more direct approach might be made toward resolving the sewer matter. Hulse noted that according to the Planning Director's comments the R-4 is higher density than the land use map indicates. Upon inquiry the Planning Director advised that the Commission had studied the area and the use is definitely low density and that 20 units per acre and 60-80 could be built by R-2 with a Special Permit and he could do that at any time he is willing to amend his application. Vote was taken on the pending motion and upon dissenting voice vote the Mayor declared the no's in majority. Roll call was requested and resulted as follows: Aye: Trimm, Hulse, Schellert, Perry, Delaurenti, Poli and Morris. No: Dahlquist, Gianini and Garrett. The motion carried upholding denial of R-4 rezone, disposing of the matter and concluding any action for six months hence.

Blvd.,that the petition was signed by owners representing 81.too of the assessed value for general taxation purposes of the property and the parcel contains approximately 60 acres with an assessed valuation of $71,597.00.

Inclusion of additibhhl area was said to be a reason for protest and Mayor Custer stated that the Public Hearing and notice thereof is part of the legal notification as well as publishing and posting which has been complied with as required, the Seattle Times being the City's Legal Publication Newspaper. The local papers also have carried articles on the proposal which may or may not have been noted by the affected residents. ' Since anyone who may so desire does have the opportunity to voice opinion on the matter, any. audience comment was invited at this time. _ r 400 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 7-17-67 PUBLIC HEARING: L,I�D. #256 (Cont..) Upon inquiry, City Engineer Wilson reported that the City had been petitioned by residents within the subject area for formation of an L.I.D. for Sanitary Sewers bounded by Lake Wn. Blvd. and 100th Avenue on the East, 96th on the South and 88th to the North and an area to the North had indicated interest but had not petitioned.Until 2 years ago none of the area could be serviced with sewers as there were no trunks available, but now Metro has made the trunk available and since the residences were having increasing health problems within the area and much interest had been shown, the L�I.D. was made available to the entire area lying within the city limits, West of the Freeway. In order to get under way this year action as taken was required. It was noted that the assessments may decrease if a good bid were received, the preliminary estimate being on the maximum rather than minimum side, and the cost is the actual amount to be paid for the construction costs, the City making no money on the project. Any delay might prove costly with rapid risme in economics including construction costs. Zone and termini method was used for assessment which involves sectioning each parcel from its frontage into 30 ft, strips and each strip being assessed a percentage of cost, the front portion being 457., next 30 ft, a lesser amount and on to the back portion which would be the least. In checking with Seattle for average assessment it was $10.90 where this one amounts to $10.19 which is not felt to be out of line. The overall cost is somewhat higher due to terrain and cost was divided where properties could not be serviced from the street without additional line. Audience comment was invited and W.J. Hoven advised he was unable to compute the assessments and arrive at the costs derived by the city. It was noted that side sewers might have varied the costs. Mrs. Sally Scott inquired whether a portion of the proposed District might withdraw stating 900, of the protests were from her area.. The Mayor reported the Council may within certain limits change the boundaries but a new L.I,D, may have to be formed. Property could be deleted on the final hearing however, if the people are ever to have sewers they might want to ;uestion whether they want to have their area deleted and when the final assessment roll is prepared they may wish they had stayed in as final costs will never be lower but will certainly be increased at a future date, Mrs. Mark Pugh inquired regarding additional cost of running the line from the residence connection and was advised the City assessment includes the main line and connection to property lines noting that the subject parcel had been recently annexed to the City, Comment from Mr. Strichfield was made regarding notification and further information and explanation was requested prior to inclusion in the L.I.D. Mr. Stride noted that as cost increases so does the income and other values proportionately. City Engineer Wilson added that a larger district provides for a better bid. Mr. Eugene Jensen , Mr. Tom Phinney and Mr. Walter Mathis inquired regarding their individual assessments and inquired regarding recourse, City Attorney Pain advised that if the City Council does by ordinance create this L,I.D. the property owner has 10 days to protest and 607, protest would not allow the L.I.D. to proceed. Also, at time of finalization of the assessment roll property owners may take issue with the final assessment on their individual properties and may carry the matter to the Superior Court. Council action would determine basis for protest as they could drop this L,I.D. and form a new one to help alleviate the health problem which may result in a more costly project. Mrs. Shook noted that the problem areas are benefitting by the present proposal since the cost has been distributed among the entire roll. Upon further inquiries regarding individual assessments it was noted that persons may come in and discuss the assessments with the Engineer and will be shown how their assessment was computed. Inquiry was made as to whether the Engineer would meet with a group and he advised he would be happy to do so, some noting the need for the sewers but wishing further information. Others inquiring regarding individual assessments, mode of payment to be proviled and possibility of a meeting included Nancy Meadows, Ken Smith, Charles Dones, Mrs. Don Patterson, Lavern E. Graves, Bill Walker and Steve Doutrich. It was noted that if the LID were instituted 30 day period would be allowed to pay as much as desired interest free, after which full payment would be accepted with interest or the balance or full amount would be spread on the tax roll for 10 years plus interest of probable 5%. It was subsequently moved by Garrett, and seconded by Hulse, to continue this hearing to August 14th giving the Engineer time to meet with the people. Schellert proposed that the proposed L.I.D. be approved and time would be allowed prior to presentation of the Ordinance for individual adjusttt-=.mts �and additional protests which might render the project dead. The pending motion for continuation carried. Discussion ensued regarding a meeting and upon show of hands that next Tuesday would be an acceptable date, the Council Chambers at City Hall at 7:30 p.m. was scheduled therefor. Recess was declared at this time. After the recess roll call was taken with all Council Members present as previously listed except Dahlquist. -2- 401 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 7-17-67 COMMUNICATIONS: Letters were read by the City Clerk with Council action taken as follows: The City Clerk reported receiving required approval for dispensation of Review Board proceedings regarding annexation petition of Eidson-Woods,w:uch property lies generally East of 132nd Avenue S.E. and South of S.E. 120th Place, Reply of King County Commissioner O'Brien, per Mr. Jean DeSpain, King Co.

The appraisal and market analysis study is felt necessary before the merchants and landowners can make preparation to form an L.I.D and it was further recommended that the firm of Shorett & Riely be retained to accomplish the study per attached letter from that Company. Mayor Custer added that this information had been presented to Council at a Committee of the Whole meeting and the merchants had met making some slight changes and that the appraisal must be made before they can act further and before the study can be valid. They must know what a new store space is worth in $ to them.. Mayor Custer recommended that the Council give every con- sideration to this request which may mean the difference between a. successful and unsuccessful venture in the downtown area. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli, to concur in the requests with referral to the Ways and Means Committee for funding. The motion carried.

ASP #9 is Talbot Road-Puget Drive control where installation has been accomplished from Traffic Engineering and ASP #10 is the 3rd-4th Street North Couplet which cannot be completed as yet due to inadequate funds. Even though the project will not be completed until the spring of 1968, it is required that funding be provided for the entire project upon letting of the Bid and the total Rainier Avenue Signal bid was $142,650.00 with approximately $30,000.00 to be reimbursed by the State Highway Department upon completion and acceptance.

Moved by Poli, seconded by Delaurenti, to refer the document to the CitZ Attorney and Fire and Water Committee for recommendation, and to concur in the recommendations of the 'City Engineer regarding the well site, Carried. Letter from Mayor Custer called attention to rising construction costs and deemed it prudent that city projects be completed wherever possible rather thin only a part one year and remainder in subsequent years, as with the grandstand.

For the additional $64,3S0.00 the two wing sections could be included as part of the original project and completed while the contractor is "on-site". It was requested that the Council consider the joint request of the Mayor and Park Board to transfer some $64,350.00 needed to complete the project which would benefit the City and be in the best interest of the public.

Early action was urged to alleviate the problem _3- Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 7-24-67 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: Unfinished Business (Cont.) May Creek Flood Problem: Mrs. McDaniels, 13825 S.E. 116th Place added her comments that May Creek is a natural drainage and excess water is dumped in causing a lot of the problem and the road has been taken out so badly the residents can hardly get through to their property, and the bridge is nearly washed out as well making it unsafe to drive over it. This is erosion taking land away to which the City is contributing and as taxpayers the residents of the area were requesting action by the City in any manner which might of help. Mayor Custer inquired whether diversion of the City's drainage into a pipe would correct the problem and it was pointed out that it would not as this is only a contributing factor. Councilman Hulse noted that with asphalting of the roads and housing developments and drainage being dumped into the creek it will take more than dropping rocks in front to keep erosion from happening and the City should not wait until it is too late to take action. The existence of the problem for years has been acknowledged but the serious effects are now evident of greater-intensity of the problem. Funding of the project was discussed, Dahlquist objecting to the burden of $300.00 per acre assessment proposed. Mrs. McDaniel stated that the cost would not be $300.00 per acre but a percentage of the acre upon which improvement might be required for control, also noting that fire fighting equipment could not get into the area, and the residents have done all they can to no avail. Hulse proposed motion to concur with the $300.00 assessment which died for lack of second, Dahlquist noting extensiveness of the district boundaries within the proposed plan. Mrs. McDaniels added that something should be done while the creek is low. At present it is possible to walk across it but when the rains come it will be a raging torrent of destruction. Councilman Pedersen, Chairman, Property Committee, recalled action of March, 1967 by the Council regarding well site property in proposed Plat of Honeydew Lane which Hallie Smiley had requested to purchase which has now been appraised. It was the Committee recommendation that the property be sold to Mr. Smiley for $4,000.00, under cash terms with restriction being placed on the sale prohibiting developers from use of existing water line which does not meet code requirements. It was noted that Mr. Smiley had sold the site to the City for $4,000.00 and is now r,&questing it back since it is no longer being used, and the City Engineer heretofore reporting intention to abandon same. It was further recommended that the matter be referred to the Law and Ordinance Committee, CiAttorneys Mayor and City Clerk for the preparation and execution o necessary documents.

Letter was read from Carey and Kramer reporting information as required. for formation of the L.I.D. has been filed with the City, including certification of cost estimate, land valuation of $414,350.00 and assessments against benefitting properties $255,100.00. Written protests were read from Reilly Tar & Chemical Corp., Louis F. Anderson and Margit A. Jackson, Pan Abode, Barbee Mill, Inc., and J. H. Baxter, Inc., and City Engineer Wilson was requested to compute the percentage of protests and report back later in the meeting. Verbal comment was invited. Mr. Wm. Goddard, 8639 Lake Wn. Blvd., stated he did not object to the L.I.D. which is badly needed but questioned the possibility of subsequent condemnation of the properties by the City for a "Green Belt" recreation area as recently discussed by the Renton Planning Commission. Upon inquiry regarding condemnation proceedings, City Attorney Shellan advised that the cost of the L.I.D. improvements would accrue to the value of the property and fair market value would be recovered in event of eminent domain proceedings which is condemnation of the properties. Attention was called to the fact that the green belt is simply a proposal to freeze certain properties and is merely under discussion in the Planning Commission and not before the Council at this time. It was reported for information of interested parties that the Planning Commission will be continuing its discussion on the green belt matter on August 16th if anyone should wish to attend. Mrs. David Martin, 8609 Lake Wn. Blvd., expressed concern for putting any amount of money into the property if the green belt is to be effected and the family cannot retain the property, also protesting assessment on a 15 ft. strip upon which right-of- way easements have been provided for access purposes. Mr. Don Savoy, 5305 Mt. View Drive, objected to the sewers only if a green belt is to be considered, urging that the L.I.D. proceedings be withheld pending determination regarding the green belt. Mr. James Denzer, 8653 Lake Wn. Blvd., having circulated petitions for the L.I.D. spoke in its favor stating it to be imperative that the pollution of the Lake be con- trolled, noting that the industries, now operating on temporary permits from the Pollution Control Agency of the State, along with residences across the road, contribute greatly to the problem. The Health District Officials, the State Highway Department and Metro are aware of the existing health problem. Costs will never be any less and it is time the people get together and do something about it. The matter of a green belt should, how- ever be resolved, it being felt that the City should possibly bear the cost of the improvements if it plans to acquire the properties. Moved by Perry, seconded by Schellert, that this hearing be continued to August 21, 1967. Upon inquiry, City Engineer Wilson reported that the written protests represent 58% of the assessed valuation of the properties to be benefitted, however, since the Health Officer has already made a survey and recommendation in view of existing health hazards, the City may proceed with the L.I.D. Mrs. Martin and Mr. Savoy requested that their protests be recorded and tabulation in the percentage of protest. The pending motion carried continuing the hearing and the additions will be computed and added to the protest percentage. Schellert suggested that the Pollution Control Agencies issuing conditional perms to the industries be advised by the Engineer of the L.I.D. proceedings and protests to see if they might wish to take any action os make recommendations. -1- 417 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 5-7-67 PUBLIC HEARING: Emmett J. Donckers appeal of Planning Commission decision in rezone denial, from GS-1 to R-2, property located at NE corner of South llth Street and Morris Avenue South. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communication from Planning Director Ericksen outlined features studied by the Planning Commission in its review of the matter with outlook to the future development that might be expected in the area, now predominantly single family residential with homes valued from $10,000.00 to $45,000.00. Concern was expressed regarding additional vehicular traffic and access, and although R-2 exists in the block to the west, extension of the R-2 was not considered desirable, it being noted that additional inquiries have been made with reference to existing vacant tracts of land in the area. Other rezone requests are anticipated if this one were granted. The R-2 zoning has existed since 1957 with no multiple construction being effected and the Commission felt that the future development of the area should be single family residential so indicating on the Comprehensive Plan presently under revision. Audience comment was invited and Mr. Donckers, 606-11th Avenue South, advised that the property now complies with Ordinances and the Comprehensive Plan and it would be just if the Council would grant the requested rezone. Mrs. Donckers added that they do have ingress and egress provisions and the area would be enhanced by the updated construction. Further comment was invited and Mr. Tony Mola, 516-11th Avenue South, read his letter of protest to the rezone as presented to the Planning Commission which stated that the proposed duplex would be detrimental to his property valuation and to that of other residences in the area. It was noted that the block in which Mr. Mola resides is zoned R-2 and no request has been filed for R-1 zoning. Inquiry followed regarding the lot size and a sketch was shown of the 12,000 sq. ft. lot with duplex unit and existing residence. It was noted that the Commission had voted unanimously ,for denial of the rezone feeling that 4 or 5 years hence would be a more appropriate timing. Mrs. Donckers inquired as to basis for determination that multiple use is premature or right for the area citing the need for housing for school teachers and others at the present time, deeming it discriminatory that one block is R-2 and the other restricted. Discussion ensued regarding zonings in other areas of the City and the justification of the findings of the Planning Commission in its review of best interest of a whole area rather than a single lot or block. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Morris, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Perry, seconded by Garrett, to concur in the R-2 rezone request. Hulse noted that it would seem to him to stretch a point to get a multiple unit on the lot along with the present residence and he would uphold the Planning Commission decision. Schellert noted that the Ordinance would need to state compliance of the rezone to the Comprehensive Plan and it was pointed out that the rezone to the zoning of that property across the street was before the Council at this time and not its use. Question was called for on the pending motion to grant the rezone and verbal ayes being in majority, the motion carried. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Law and Ordinance Committee for proper Ordinance. Carried. PUBLIC HEARING: Florence B. Mathieson rezone request from R-1 to R-3 amended to R-2 on property located in vicinity of the NE corner of Sunset Blvd. North and 116th Avenue S.E. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Letter from Gordon Y. Ericksen, Planning Director, reported review of the revised rezone request by the Commission which felt that the R-2 would be more feasible than R-3 primarily due to the access problem, approval of which was now recommended to the City Council. The proposed use is in agreement with the Comprehensive Plan. Dahlquist inquired as to why the R-3 originally requested was not granted when the property is surrounded by the nursing home and 40 unit apartments. Planning Director Ericksen pointed out that the access problem was the main reason Sunset being the only one and with widening of Sunset an even greater problem might result. Applicant had indicated her intent to keep within low density use and the R-2 would therefore suffice. Moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Poli, seconded by Trimm, to concur in the Planning Commission recommendation for R-2 - zoning with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee for proper Ordinance. Carried. PUBLIC HEARING: Proposed Ordinance providing procedure for the vacation of streets and alleys; imposing processing fee and authorizing compensation to the City. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. There were no written communica- tions nor verbal comment and it was moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Schellert, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Delaurenti, to refer the proposed Ordinance to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Carried. -2- 41� Minutes - Renton City Council 8-7-67 PUBLIC HEARING: Final Hearing - Annexation (Eidson-Woods Property) East of 132nd Avenue S.E. and South of S.E. 120th Place This being the date set, the hearing was declared open.

PUBLIC HEARING: Emergency Ordinance appropriating monies for Park Department in sum of 64,350.00 for grandstand and Arterial Street Fund, ASP #8, $80,000.00. 1st reading July 24, 1967. Mr. Roger Richert, Architect, reported that the amount to be appropriated for the grandstand will be inadequate, the new cost figure being $186,679.00, representing some $34,000.00 increase over the estimate of last fall. The added costs were attributed,_ to mechanical and electrical costs and labor shortages, increased living costs and State Sales Tax increase. Progress was outlined to.' -late; final details will be presented at the final stage. Mayor Custer advised that some additional funding will be necessary and suggested that monies to be received from the State might be utilized, the project probably not reaching stage of implementation and funding until October at which time the funds will likely be received. It may be possible to budget in the 1968 budget or to fund by time payments. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Gianini, the hearing be closed. Carried. Upon inquiry, City Attorney Shellan advised that the appropriation is required at the time the liability is incurred and the actual cost is known,when bids are called. Tlti funds can be carried over and rebudgeted or allocated for the 1968 budget, but the correct amount must be appropriated. Any amount can be appropriated but when actual cost is determined and debt incurred the total must be avdilable. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Dahlquist, to refer the document to the Law and Ordinance Committee for presentation later in the meeting. Carried. Moved by �inlse, seconded by Perry, to recess.

Comment had been requested by the Council regarding the boundary line to be effected by such annexation and City Engineer Wilson stated that a larger annexation would help form a more uniform City Limits boundary. The property is located approximately 400 ft. Easterly of' 84th Avenue South and contains 0.20 acres with an assessed value of $900.00. Mr. Baker addressed the Council advising that the property is a small island surrounded by the City and that he has provisions for access purposes and an easement for access to the sewer line.

Baker - Annexation Mr. Baker continued that there were only 3 or 4 houses in the area and that they did not have the access to sewers that the location of his house would afford and they did not wish to annex since going clear to 84th would be too costly. Mr. Baker added that they would very much like to be in the City and in putting ;,30,000.00 into a home he felt it to the maximum interest of the City as well as himself to have facilities available at this time, adding that police protection and fire protection are added reasons for wanting to be within the city. . Councilman Schellert inquired whether Mr. Baker would be willing to assume his pro rata share of the Cityyts pre-existing bonded indebtedness in event of annexation and Mr. Baker replied affirmatively.

Harris, Director, reported that consideration had been given to the City's application for a State-Federal Grant to aid in interceptor sewers and it was regretted that funds were not available to honor the request at this time.

He advised that the 60% protest is based on cost share of the improvement and not 60y of the persons involved, and that public hearing will again be held when the actual cost is assessed which may be continued until resolved, the actual cost not now being known as bids must be taken which may be rejected if higher than estimated cost. Roberta Hodges inquired regarding addition of areas to the original petition for an L.I.D. which had been validated and City Engineer Wilson advised that upon his recommendation the Council had authorized inclusion of additional territory felt to be in the best interest to the health and welfare of the area and costwise of benefit as well. Mr. Walter Tracey requested that the Council take action on the matter without further meetings or discussion for formation of the L.I.D.

Proposed motion to approve the L.I.D. vi th delation of portion south of S.E. 96th and participation by the City with late-comers provision.

Revocable Sign Permit - Ted Gatz Moved -by'Garrett, seconded by Dahlquist, to concur with the recommendation of the Building Director and grant the Permit. The Chair ruled the motion out of order since it is contrary to the original motion which he stated should have also been the ruling on the prior item. Discussion ensued on whether a positive motion had precedent over a negative motion. City Attorney Shellan advised that the intent of the subse- quent motion was not to amend but a direct opposite changing the nature of the original motion which is not permissible. Inquiry was made of the Building Director regarding justification for the recommendation and Mr. Johnson advised that the pole would be within limits set for B-1. areas and inspection reveals that the request is made with regard to the best visibility, having to come before Council because a Revocable Permit is involved which must be approved by the Council.

Letter from the Renton Library Board of Trustees, Angelo P. Righi, Secretary, reported that the Board has appointed Mr. Jack Lowell Jones as Library Director, effective September 1, 1967. It was requested that the present budget be adjusted to enable the Board to fix the salary of the Director at $12,000.00 with the increase to become effective- as of September 1st. The Library Fund has adequate money in the budget for the balance of this year and the reclassification of the Director requested at this time will be reflected in the 1968 budget. Discussion ensued and it was noted that the requests had been made at the Committee of the Whole meeting the Library Board advising it was unable to fill the position with a qualified person for any less money. Moved by Poli, seconded by Gianini, to refer the matter to the Committee of the Whole.

City Clerk Nelson reported receipt of the Green River Valley Transportation Plan which will be on file in the City Clerk's Office. Mayor Custer has copies for perusal in his office also. Councilman Pedersen, Property Committee Chairman submitted letter for reading which has been directed to him from Mayor Custer advising of problem encountered by Mr. Joe Ricardi in attempting to hook up to Renton sewers. Mr. Ricardi is willing to annex his property to Renton but is prohibited by doing so by an existing agreement between the City and the Water District serving that area of Talbot Hill. It was suggested that the City change its policy on allowing connection of outside residents to accommodate any party willing to annex. Councilman Pedersen reported meeting with Mr. Ricardi and the Sanitation Committee feels this is a hardship case. Mr. Ricardi stated he has been circulating a petition for annexation but the agreement whose legality he questioned, prevented the consumation at this time and due to a high water problem he cannot put in a septic tank. Upon inquiry, City Attorney Shellan recalled that the Agreement with the water district had been made so that the district wouldn't be broken up piece by piece or they could not afford to operate, however there is no State Law prohibiting the service to outside residences. It was doubtful that annexation could be effected in view of the existing agreement and there is a possibility that he could get an o.k. from the water district to hook up but not to annex. Moved by Perry, seconded by Dahlquist, that Mr. Ricardi be allowed to hook one residence onto the sewer line. Discussion ensued regarding additional single family residences on 3 lots and it was noted that in making an exception to existing city policy the general policy will not be changed and that one hook-up where hardship exists will be allowed. Opinions were expressed that the City should not deviate from its policy. Upon verbal vote on the pending motion the Chair rules that the ayes prevailed. Roll call vote was requested which resulted as follows: Aye: Dahlquist, Gianini, Pedersen, Perry, Poli and Morris. No: Trimm, Schellert and Garrett. The motion carried. APPOINTMENT: Letter from Mayor Custer requested Council concurrence in the appointment of Ella M. Conklin, William F. Davis and Louis Gebenini to one year terms as members of the Insurance Commission for the City of Renton, effective August 1, 1967. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist, to concur in the appointments. Carried. - COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: Unfinished Business: Councilman Schellert, Chairman, Ways and Means Committee, submitted recommendation that $3,000.00 be borrowed fr,a-m tax money paid under protest by The Boeing Co. and Pacific Car & Foundry, for funding of appraisal and market study relative to parking garage in downtown Renton. This money to be appropriated into the Current Fund, Off- Street Parking Department 3160/314, Expert Services, and repaid not later than December 31, 1967 at 3% interest. Moved by Poli, seconded by Garrett to concur in the recommendations. Carried. -4- 430 Minutes - Renton City Coupgil Meeting 5 14-67 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: Unfinished Business: Councilman Pedersen, Sanitation Committee Chairman, reported meeting with residents of the Honey Creek area regarding Sanitary Sewer services and the residents are to decide whether they want an L.I.D. and report to the Council. Councilman Poli inquired regarding surplus well site property on Beacon Street and it was reported that the Ordinance has been prepared and is now in Committee. Councilman Morris, reported on Workshop attended during the Conference of the National League of Cities in Boston, with regard to Underground Utilities calling attention to presently pending Franchise Agreement being considered for Puget Sound Power and Light Company, and problems encountered by our Water Utility operations in digging pipe trenches in proximity of underground conductors. It was noted that the ideal time for negotiation. is at the time franchises are granted but since most are issued for such long periods it is not always possible. San Francisco is operating under an agreement whereby the City through Planning designates which blocks would be converted, the central business core area being first and working outward from there.. Opinion was expressed that underground facilities are more economical to install and maintain. California City Ordinances require all Subdivision Lto install underground. Colored strips of material are placed above the underground conductor so equipment operators would dig into this before reaching the energized wires, It was anticipated that within a few years the majority of telephone conductors will be underground. In California TV Cable Franchises would require cables to be placed underground at the time the other utilities do so. It was noted that Several California Companies have agreed to a 2% tax on the gross revenue of the residential and business accounts which tax is to be used only for conversion of overhead utility conductors within the corporate limits of the city and the Cities are requesting the industrial electric revenues to also be included in the 2'o tax. The matter of including the industrial revenue is now before the State Utilities Commission, the electric company not being agreeable to inclusion of its industrial accounts. Councilman Morris suggested that the City might consider such a tax to be used for underground conversion and repeal the 3% tax now imposed on customers by the Utility Company. $310,000.00 is the approximate amount of the present tax receipts and the cost for converting to underground for our civic center is estimated at over $50,000.00. The 2% tax would provide appriximately $65,000.00 per year which could be used for underground conversions. New Business: Council President Trimm requested a Committee of the Whole meeting on Monday at 7:00 P.M., August 21st. Councilman Schellert reported attendance at the Institute of Traffic Engineers meeting in Seattle August 7-9th, and highlighted was the explanation regarding the Highway Facilities Act of 1966, it being attempted to establish uniformity throughout the nation with pressures through the Federal Government for compliance. Another highlight noted was the address by Mayor Custer regarding particular traffic problems especially encountered by Renton, budgetary allottments alleviating the problem but solution yet a long way off. Councilman Garrett requested that the Fire and Water Committee and Fire Chief be allowed time on the Committee of the Whole agenda, the hour at present being late, adding that the remarks regarding the Mayor being the key note speaker were mild,appropriately more praiseworthy than denoted,but the -hour was .lat'e.. Councilman Perry advised that he will report to the Committee of the Whole on his convention attendance at such time as the Puget Sound Governmental Conference member- ship is discussed. Moved by Perry, seconded by Gianini, that the salary of the Park Director be taken up at the time the salary of the Library Director is discussed, increasing it to the same amount. The motion lost. Moved by Morris, seconded by Garrett, that City of Renton Vouchers No. 9321 through 9460, having been previously approved by the Auditing and. accounting Committee be approved for payment by the Council at this time.

ROLL CALL OF COUNCIL MEMBERS: Trimm, Schellert, Gianini, Pedersen, Garrett, Perry, Delaurenti, Poli and Morris. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Gianini, that the absent Council Members be excused. Carried. OFFICIALS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS PRESENT: Helmie Nelson, City Clerk, Dorothea Gossett, City Treasurer, G. M. Shellan, City Attorney, Jack Wilson, City Engineer, Clarence Williams, Chief of Police, M. C. Walls, Fire Chief, Gordon Ericksen, Planning Director, Vic TeGantvoort, Street Commissioner, Jan Klippert, Administrative Assistant to the Mayor, Anne Harker, Librarian and Sven Johnson, Building Director. Moved by Trimm, seconded by Poli, that the Minutes of the previous meeting of August 14th be approved as written. The motion carried. PUBLIC HEARING: Hallie Smiley, Realty Investors, Inc., appeal of Planning Commission R-4 to B-1 - rezone denial at "L" Street between 11th Place and 12th Avenue North. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Letter from Gordon Ericksen, Planning Director, reviewed Planning Commission actions which concluded that the best use for the property is multi-family and that a logical cut off for Business zoning in the area is "L" Street there being no B-1 Easterly at present. The existing R-4 zoning is subject to restrictive covenant of 45' ht. as rezoned in 1961 per Ordinance 1922. Total area is 23,560 sq. ft., approximately 100 ft. in depth and 225 ft. long. Adjacent 160 ft- area now zoned R-4 directly abuts single family residential use area. The Comprehensive Plan indicates medium density multi-family residential according t', the interpretation of the Commission and the proposed rezone would be in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan, and the request was therefore denied. Upon request of Mr. Smiley, his letter of appeal was read stating that reasonable intent of the Comprehensive Plan would allow for the proposed use; the property to the West and North are zoned B-1 and adjoining property to .the East and South is owned by the applicant and is zoned R-4. Major use of the entire property is to be multiple family residential however, relief from hardships of excessive cost of development is needed and can come from use of income from B-1 on the "L" Street ground level to help finance the development. Mr. Smiley displayed drawings and plans noting locations of B-1 zoning and how its extension would blend in and be a reasonable use which he felt could be interpreted as that shown. Mr. Smiley advised of delay in the development for several years due to his illness and he outlined present construction costs involved in burying of utilities and complying with f`�re zone requirements. Immediate space for his real estate business office was desired and 10 bays were proposed for future B-1 use the balance to be street level & upper apartments. After all comment was made it was moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Perry, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Councilman Poli inquired of the Planning Director regarding statement by the Planning Commission that the rezone would be in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Ericksen stated that the area is on the fringe of the Highlands and the area to the West is B-1, however in its review the Commission noted no B-1 East of L Street and its reasonable interpretation is that the plan indicates multiple residential and "L". Street should remain somewhat of a buffer zone being a logical cut-off. Since it does not comply with the Comprehensive Plan accordingly, by reasonable interpretation, the zoning request was denied. Moved by Trimm, seconded by Schellert, to concur in the Planning Commission recom- mendations upholding denial of the B-1 rezone. Carried. PUBLIC HEARING: L.I.D. 257 (Continued from 8-7-67) Kennydale Lakefront Sanitary Sewers This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Letter from Johnson, Jonson & Insler, Law Office, written by James C. Hanken, on behalf of J. H. Baxter, Inc., Barbee Mills, Inc. and Pan-Abode, Inc. requested information as to what constitutes L.I.D. 257, protesting and objecting to its formation and inquiring regarding costs noting provisions of RCW 35. 43.130 regarding procedures. Letter from Mrs. R. A. Fawcett submitted protest due to the cost compared to benefit to be derived, the placement of the lines service stub, time element and extension across Lake Wn. Blvd. Letter from City Engineer Wilson was read reporting that written protests have been received bearing 60.55% of total estimated cost of the project. This does not include the Fawcett letter. Councilman Pedersen, Sanitation Committee Chairman, reported recommendation that the hearing be continued to allow time to work out some of the problems to see if the project can be made feasible . Petitioner for the Baronovich property advised that she along with several neighbors would be unable to develop vacant properties without the L.I.D. as septic tanks were not allowed. Mr. Phil Podvin, George Howell and Mark Robbins inquired regarding the costs and how their docks would be affected. Consulting Engineer Grimm advised it could go under them and moving of do^k portions might be required. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Perry, to continue the hearing to September 11, 1967. Carried. Permanent structures may not be -1- '435 Hi"utes r Reston City Council Meeting 8.4-1 -67 constructed over the sewer line, as -ound struecvrea hinder main tenane©, If required, Mayor Custer invited persons to come down to the Engineering office to ask questions regarding their assessment or related matters and to go through the project as LID 257 concerns their properties. Schellert inquired regarding formal referral and Sanitation Committee Chairman Pedersen advised his Committee would be making a recommendation after the meeting with the industries concerned which has been set for August 25th at 2:00 p.m. A letter from Planning Director Ericksen was read advising that the Planning Commission is presently conducting hearings on proposed revisions to the City of Renton Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The proposed extension of the Lake Washington Beach Park northward along the waterfront to the J. H. Baxter Company property was discussed at public hearings on July 19th and August 16th and the revised plan under study at this time includes extension to incorporate the industrial properties presently utilized for log dumping and storage, The plan excludes those areas presently developed for single family residential purposes. A southerly extension to encompass several undeveloped lots is also proposed. The plan is for development of a major waterfront recreational -- area and includes existing industrial properties on the lake in the vicinity of the May Creek area, as indicated on the present Renton General Development Plan. The Planning Commission at its August 16th meeting has continued the public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan to September 13, 1967 to allow time for consideration of the requests and comments made by members of the audience.

Civil Service Commission Letter submitting resignations of Secretary and 2 members. Letter from Mayor Custer requested appointments of Harold Woodin and Floyd Hughes as members of the Fire Department Civil Service Commission, effective this date subject to personal acceptance, be confirmed by the Council at this time to fill vacancies created by the resignation of Mrs. Busato and Mr. Delaurenti. Moved by Perry, seconded by Schellert, to refer the appointments to the Fire and Mater and Police and License Committees. Carried. Garrett opposed the referral stating if needed referral should be to Committee of the Whole adding that there is just one member on the Commission at present and no Secretary and neither Commission can function unless someone is appointed to continue the operation.

Perry offered to withdraw his main motion however it was moved by Garrett, seconded by Morris to substitute the motion that the two appointments by the Mayor be con- firmed.

Moved by Garrett, seconded by Morris, that the Commission Members who resigned and-.the Secretary-Chief Examiner be sent letters acknowledging the outstanding job done over the years they have served, it being noted that one term had expired. Delaurenti questioned this action' in view of the voting. Garrett stated he would hope none of the Members had construed his vote to not accepting or accepting resignations; as Mr. Shellan has ruled the resignations do not need to be accepted since when anyone quits they are through,and he would certainly not think of voting to remove any of these people from their position or vote against a reappointment. For reasons of their own resignations have been submitted effectively immediately and unless the_City goes -out of the Police and Fire Commission business nothing can be done but go ahead with the confirmation of appointees. He would never vote against reappointment nor vote to replace the members. Delaurenti stated he understood the comment and the only issue he had was that the Committees were not extended the courtesy of their opinion being given when it was asked for. It was noted that Mr. Delaurenti has been on vacation and the letter was sent on the 15th of August. The pending motion was subsequently carried . (See later action and discussion.)

Councilman Garrett, Chairman of the Street and Alley Committee, reported that Mr. Boyd has not yet contacted him regarding a meeting to discuss the Railroad Company Franchise request and more time will be needed. Granted. Fire and Water Committee Chairman Delaurenti reported that last week the Council approved additional funds for Fire Station Training site and permission was requested to call for bids for the completion of the fill. September 11, 1967 was recommended as date for the bid opening. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Perry, to concur in the bid call and date for bid opening. r7''ilquist inquired regarding costs for the new site which have included purchase price of $30,000.00 and $7,100.00 for fill and other improvements. Dahlquist noted that property had been offered in this area for the sum of $1.00. Fire Chief Walls advised that the present site was approved by the rating bureau which was the main reason for its location here. It was noted that park property had been received in lieu of the other site offered for the fire station. The pending motion carried. Delaurenti reported orally that in reply to the Mayor's request for recommendation . as to whether to appoint two 3-member Boards for the Civil Service Commissions the Committee concurs with the Mayor's recommendation to have two 3-member Boards to represent the Fire and Police Civil Service Commissions. Hulse inquired whether the action is necessary. Mayor Custer advised that the law allows the alternative of 3 on the Fire and 3 on the Police Civil Service Commission and when he took office there being some vacancies created he appointed three and appointed each to serve on both making it clear and explicit that at a future date he would want to expand but the job was difficult in that new rules were needed and needed badly and it was felt the three could handle it with six later to comprise the Commission. A new set of rules was compiled for the need. The Departments have grown both in number and jobs we have reached a point where three might well serve on each Board in view of the work load. They may meet together but will be separate boards. Resignations received do not need Council acceptance. They may come back if asked but recommendations will still be needed since last week appointments were made only to the Fire Commission and one member is remaining from the previous Board. Schellert commended the Council for 1,7king an active part in the appointments, the law providing for 3 members on the Police and 3 on the Fire and that makes 6 people and the fact that they are expressing concern as to what 3 members are to be on which Board was wonderful and he was glad to see them assert some responsibility, not always shown heretofore in appointments. Morris noted that the Mayor had asked the Police and License Committee for its recommendation. Perry requested that the Committees forward him a copy of the Minutes of the meetings.

S. Bureau of Public Roads of its programs for Federal assistance, noted prohibitive requirements to qualify for participation as far as smaller cities is concerned with special notice of the fact that a Comprehensive Plan must be developed which implementation might well cost as much as any grant requested,making it impossible for small municipalities to compete. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist that the City send a letter to Representative Adams calling attention to the problem resulting for Cities of the size of Renton. Councilman Garrett inquired whether the Council might check with Olympia as he thought perhaps there had been a Chairman appointed at the State Level and the added interpretation of what the people adminstering the program are trying to do may add strength to ours. Dahlquist stated we would just be requesting him to take a look at the program and see how it would concern us. The pending motion carried. Councilman Perry called attention to the traffic storage lane on Sunset Blvd. at "H" Street and lack of adequate turn space the curve being too sharp turning left.

D. 257, Sanitary Sewers, Lake Wash. Blvd. & vicinity (Cont. from August 21, 1967) This being the date set,the hearing was declared continued. Councilman Pedersen, Chairman, Sanitation Committee, advised of meetings with the consultants and with the property owners and the Committee recommended that the hearing be continued for 90 days until December 11, 1967. Upon inquiry, City Engineer Wilson advised that the project is a very large one and assessments are quite high and the City has applied for State and Federal grants and during the 90 day interim would be in a position to reduce the assessments, removing much of the opposition to the L.I.D. if some assistance is received„ 1-i effect ng ?.'Lis study for possible cost reduction, in anticipation of possible revenues, the additional time is essential thus the con- tinuation was recommended, it being noted that the persons so desiring may comment at this time in any event.

PUBLIC HEARIriG: Appeal by Seventh Day Adventist Church of Board of Adjustment Denial of Variance to use Cedar shakes on church roof The hearing was declared open. There being no written communications,the Building Director was requested to report. Mr. Sven Johnson advised that in this instance the building is required to be fire resistant throughout and although every opportunity was given to allow the case to be heard there was no way the Variance could be granted. Mr. Don Kirkman, Architect for the project, advised that the City Council meeting was in progress at the time the appellants were to meet with the Board of Adjustment and that the group had Tris,. .'-enly come into the Council meeting and did not appear before the Board of Adjustment on its appeal. Mr. Kirkman noted that the church was under Classification B Occupancy under the Code and Section 1704 states that fire retardant material shall be used on all roofs of this nature, and although as an architect he would not present himself as a person who could interpret the Code Seattle allows B occupancy to use shake shingles as well as Pierce and King Count- es, and adjacent and nearby cities. It was noted that retail stores, wholesale stores., Union 76 and Enco service stations and the Transamerica ,1500 Unit Apartments in Renton have shake shingles and since the church is an isolated building, also in Fire Zone 3 and residences in the area are allowed shake shingles, and many churches in the community have shake shingles. The addition is to be a sanctuary and the shake shingles were for aesthetic effect of the structure. Asst. Fire Chief Ashurst stated that if the shake shingles were allowed a detriment would result not only to life, safety and health of ,,. the people to 000upy it but to the owners who will have to pay higher insurance rates. Also, the City will get deficiency points from the rating bureau for Code Violations, Mr. Johnson, Building Director,called attention to adoption of the 1967 Uniform Building Code and the fact that the City is following the manual as required. Examples of all kinds can justify almost any problem but at this point the building, as designed and specifications presented for a plans check called for asbestos shingle roof and the building permit was issued on that basis. The cedar shingles were installed at the volition of the builder and architect and no change was approved, consequently the construction was stopped. Under the '67 Edition of the Code certain standards for one building and deviation for another is not allowed and heretofore criticism has been made that interpretation is not made consistently for everyone and requirements now are made in an effort to try to for uniformity with the outlying communities so a reasonably uniform set of regul.-:tions can be observed in all circumstances. -2- 452 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 9-11-67 PUBLIC HEARING: (Cont.) Appeal of Bd. of Adjustment decision in Variance denial (Seventh Day Adventist Church) Mr. Kirkman noted that King County has the same Uniform Building Code and allows shakes in this Fire Zone and Tacoma because the Building Department makes the ruling, and noted that pursuing fire safety,double construction of 4 inches thick is used where 5/8" plywood with shakes is permissible. Mr. Richard Stredicke, Planning Commission Member noted that the Commission approves all plans,inquiring regarding other deviations and it was pointed out that there was a setback variation. Planning Director Ericksen advising that the entrance was not maintaining proper setback and report had been made. Mayor Custer. inquired whether the setback was included in the variance and appeal and Building Director Johnson reported that the setback was not in the variance nor appeal and outlined the procedure for inspections wherein the course of which the deviations were noted. Mr. Johnson stated the importance of maintaining complete correlation of interpretations of the Building Codes throughout the State and this was one reason for attending the various meetings so that an understanding and continuity may be developed. The problem was stated not to be one of interpretation but the fact that the one-hour fire resistant requirement is not met with shakes on top of 4" tongue and groove. Mr. Kirkman expressed his opinion that 1 hour fire resistive roof material is not subject to fire restrictive interpretation, the matter is one hour fire restrictive construction, noting that their free standing wall could be moved if in the setback however there was some question regarding location of the property line which would affect this issue. Schellert suggested the appeal of the administrative decision be submitted to the Board of Adjustment for adjudication}there to be determination that hardship exists for variance to be granted. Hulse upheld the adherence to the Code by the Building Department and cautions taken in making decisions such as in past years have created some of our problems noting the improvement with time and additional personnel. Discussion ensued regarding the fact that the roof is 3/4 completed, Mr. Jim Brown, 18211 S .E . 136th, calling attention to the donated labor by church members and decision of the Church Board to put on a better roof even though a bit more costly, being aware of insurance rate increase thereby, and fact that the shake sh'_ngles had been on the site for sometime even before the floor was poured and that it is impossible to remove the shakes without completely wrecking the roof. Garrett inquired whether Mr. Kirkman was aware of the change from asphalt to shake shingles. Mr. Kirkman advised he was but was not aware that it would be denied by the building department. Garrett inquired whether the architect was aware that the change when the shakes were nailed on had not been approved. Mr. Kirkman stated it should have been cleared. Further discussion ensued regarding equity involved and whether coating might be affixed to meet the: fire retardant requirements. Building Director Johnson advised that this requires a pressure treatment and would virtually be impossible when on the structure. Moved by Perry, seconde-' by Gianini, to continue the hearing to September 25th to allow the Church time to look into possible coatings and to refer the matter to the Board of Adjustment to meet in the interim and report back.

Crowell, 12423, S.E. 142nd Place requested that the City take action to keep the street open from the Maple Valley Highway to the railroad trestle which is blocked by persons bringing children down to swim, fishermen and persons staying over night in their cars. Also as a result, the litter is becoming a problem. Discussion ensued wherein it was noted that the street was a private right of way and the City would not therefore have the jurisdiction to take action regarding the use unless it were turned over to the City which apparently was not the desire of the property owners in the area at the time of annexation. Possibility of placing a garbage receptacle in the area was mentioned and since it is State Highway and Railroad Company property it was moved by Dahlquist and seconded by Schellert, to forward copy of the letter to the State Highway Department and the petitioners be so advised we are unable to take further action until the Street becomes City property. Carried. It was noted that consideration was given to residents of this area whose homes were located under power lines with respect to water assessments-: etc. at annexation time. Bulletin from Chester Biesen, Executive Director, Association of Washington Cities, advised of a new low cost group medical insurance program developed by the Association this year which under State insurance Laws requires minimum of 600 enrollees for institution.

Letter from Park Director Coulon, per Park Board instructions, requested permission to call for bids for a new tractor, specifications having been prepared at this time. October 9, 1967 was recommended as the date for bid opening. Moved by Poli, seconded by Gianini, to concur in the bid call and opening date. Carried. Letter from Mrs. John C. Blasick advised that her home is located practically under the freeway at 320 Mill Avenue Sauth, where she has resided for the past 39 years, witnessing many changes in the City over these years, one being the completion of Interstate 405. Attention was called to the dirt and dust from the highway and of more concern, the dirt corner at South 3rd Street used for a parking area. It was requested that the City assist in seeking improvement of the areas under the freeway where 50 to 60 cars park most every weekday, creating a disgrace to the neighborhood and requiring her front porch and steps to__hg scrubbed once or twice a week .from the dirt and dust flying about. Moved by Poli, seconded by Hulse, to refer the matter to the Street and Alley Committee to report back. It was noted that the area under the freeway is State Highway land and the City upon request was authorized to allow use of the area by the downtown merchants for parking purposes and certain improvements including black- topping and drainage provisions. It was suggested that the merchants be contacted in regard. to further improvement to alleviate the present situation outlined by Mrs. Blasick. The pending motion subsequently was voted upon and carried. Dahlquist opposed. Letter from Mrs. Baird M. Bardarson, President, Allied Arts of Renton, reported great disappointment when being advised of the unsafe condition of the old library building and its possible removal since many plans had been made for a wide range of cultural activities to be presented there, including art exhibits, creative art activities for children, adult art and craft workshops, dance classes, creative dramatics, theatre workshops, rehearsal space and musical activities. Financial resources not being available to rebuild the old library to code standards, it was requested that the City Council budget and make immediate plans for a cultural activities center to be located en the old library site and senior citizens building. It was noted that the City has provided for funding over $180,000.00 to meet the grandstand expense and should not fail to provide cultural facilities as well, in the interest of serving the needs of --all of its citizens. Dahlquist noted the need is for youth activities at present, and it was Moved by Hulse, seconded by Delaurenti, to refer the request to the Committee of the Whole and Allied Arts be invited to discuss the matter with the Committee. Carried. Letter from the City Engineer reported revised letter of intent to annex Ivan Gibeault property to Renton is now in order and the signature thereon represents 1005Y. of the assessed valuation of the property. Mr. Gibeault was present and Councilman Schellert inquired whether the property owner was willing to assume his pro rata share of the City's pre-existing bonded indebtedness. Mayor Custer advised of the present G.O. indebtedness of $2,100,000.00 to be shared by residents at this time. The City Engineer upon inquiry had advised that the area comprised approximately 1/2 acre and would help reduce the gap in the boundary line although this is a small area. Mr. Gibeault stated he would assume his share of the debt as outlined. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Delaurenti, that the property owner be authorized to circulate proper petition for annexation of the property. (Parcel located East of 132nd Avenue S.E. and South of S.E. 116th Street.) Carried. Petition containing 14 signatures was read signifying that said property owners were against Sanitary Sewer L.I.D. No. 256. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, to refer the Petition to the City Engineer for tabulation. It was noted that property owners have 30 days from adoption of the Ordinance authorizing the L.I.D. to protest. The motion carried. Letter from Gene. L. Coulon, recommended per Park Board direction, that the bids opened ,,,,,,on September 11th on the Liberty Park Grandstand be rejected and that the architects modify the plans so that bids may be called for as soon as new specifications are completed. (All bids were over the anticipated cost). Petition containing 37 signatures and petition with 82 signatures were read requesting that the grandstand construction be put to a vote of the people on the November ballot in form of G.O. issue. It was noted that there is not time to prepare the documents, adopting an Ordinance, and processing according to law, as 45 days before election 'is the deadline for the last filing for issues for the November election, Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Gianini, to refer the matter to the Committee of the Whole to report back. Discussion ensued on whether the referral included the Park Board bid recommendation it being suggested that this be acted upon separately and the architect could proceed with preparation of the new specs. After further discussion, verbal vote -3- 464 Minutes - Renton City Conneil Meeting 9-18-67 COMMUNICATIONS: (Cont.) Grandstand was taken on the motion to refer and the Chair ruled that the motion failed. Roll call was requested and was taken as follows: Ayes: Hulse, Schellert, Dahlquist, Perry, Delaurenti and Morris. No: Trimm, Gianini, Pedersen, Garrett and Poli. The motion carried 6 to 5. Garrett noted that construction of the grandstand would hereby be delayed and costs could go up. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Schellert, that representatives of the School District and School Board be invited to attend the meeting at which the grandstand is discussed - to investigate joint use of school facilities. It was noted that some adjustment in the grandstand might allow joint use by the School District and the matter should be discussed. The motion carried. It was noted by Mayor Custer that the Architect will be inquiring whether to proceed. Discussion ensued on whether a week will make a difference, and that un- doubtedly numerous signatures could be secured approving the grandstand construction and that the Council should take definite action one way or another and determine whether to build or not, possible political implication being denoted. It was pointed out that public hearings have been held and the matter has been in progress over 2 years with cost increase resulting. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Gianini, that the Council authorize the Park Board and Architects to proceed with proposed specification and plan revision which can be submitted to the Committee of the Whole. The voica_ vote was dissenting, the Chair ruling the ayes to have it. Roll call was requested which resulted as follows: Aye: Trimm, Dahlquist, Gianini, Pedersen, Garrett, Poli and Morris. No: Hulse, Schellert, Perry and Delaurenti. The motion carried, 7 ayes to 4 no votes.

PUBLIC HEARING: Proposed emergency Ordinance appropriating monies for purpose of providing funds for the City's arterial Street Fund and Fire Department Fund in sums of $65,000.00 and $50,000.00. (Resurfacing of Rainier Avenue and Fire Station site fill) This being the date set, the hearing was declared open and there being no written communications audience comment was invited. Dahlquist inquired regarding the 5% interest rate on money to be borrowed from the Firemen's Pension Fund. It was explained that this is a Trust Fund and the moneys to be loaned are presently in- vested at this rate of interest and the Pension Board felt it should secure a like ka rate. Dahlquist felt since the City contributes to the fund it should not pay such a high rate of interest. City Attorney Shellan outlined the requirements of the law for levy of one mill for the Fire Department which can go up to 2 mills, the exact amount determined by an actuarial study which is needed to take care of the particular needs of the Firemen. It is not a City Fund but a separate trust fund and although the people administering are employed by the City they are not acting for the City but as a fiduciary power and as such felt the rate for loan to the City should be the same as they could get on investments. Each City actuarial would be different depending upon the needs of its particular Firemen. The Attorney General has ruled that the millage over the actuarial may be used for other Municipal purposes. Garrett expressed like objection to borrowing from the Cedar River Acquisition Fund at 2% when greater interest could be assessed, Dahlquist objecting again to the 5%. Schellert inquired regarding proposed use of the funds and the pending Ordinance was read appropriating $65,000.00 unto Arterial Street Fund 3200/605, (ASP No. 8), and unto Fire Department f;ccount, Current Fund 2200/602, Capital Outlay, $50,000.00. Audience comment was invited and Mr. Karl Strom, 11444 - 112th S.E. stated that if the City does not wish to pay the 5% interest why it did not get the money elsewhere. It was noted that the Loans had already been authorized heretofore and the Ordinance was to appropriate the money into the budget, Moved by Morris, seconded by Poli, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Morris, seconded by Schellert, to refer the matter to the Ordinance Committee for its recommendation later in the meeting. Carried. Dahlquist opposed. PROCLAMATION: Proclamation by Mayor Custer declared the week of October 1 through 7th as SPRING GARDEN PLANTING LEEK in the City of Renton, in concurrence with urging of Mrs. Warren G. Magnuson that citizens contribute toward more beautiful cities by landscaping their properties. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, to concur in the Proclamation. Carried.

Dahlquist inquired regarding terms of office for police Civil Service ' ,=!^ission Members, -ppointm.nts- of last week.

Dahlquist called attention to activities of the Stoneway Dock Co., Inc. in extending use of the river bank beyond a point where it is tolerable, causing unsightly view as well as dirt and dust problems to the city hall and area in general. Inquiry was made as to use provisions and payments to t«e City by the Less^2 and possibie violations of agreement-and report by Property Coan-ittee Chairman Pedersen noted t'-e Committee has been meeting with parties concerned on the matter. It was moved by Schellert, seconded by Dahlquist, that the subject of the terms of the Lease and use infringement on City property be referred to the Committee of the {chole. Morris noted the agreement is on file in the City Clerk's office for reference. Mrs. Peggy Shideler, Park Board Member expressed some concern in view of the fact that the Park Board will be assuming ,jurisdiction of the Cedar River Park area upon vacation of the premises and move to the new City '.'all, Architects having been retained to draw up plana for Cedar River Park and they cannot tell what the river bank looks like with all the gravel and if this continues they are wondering if anything will be left to develop. Mayor Custer advised of encroachments by Stoneway and owner to the East and that the matter was reported to the County and State with no action taken to date . Meetings ha been held and a possible plan discussed to allow Stoneway to pave part of the roadway which might be used for part of the park area but the matter is still under consideration. The pending motion to refer to Committee of the [chole was voted upon 'and carried. Dahlquist called attention to appropriation of $50,000.00 for fill at the new fire station site and to costs to be incurred for water, sewer and road to the site inquiring as to wh: ;: the cost of the station is to be which should be determined before going further.

Forgaard as member of the Renton Planning Commission to fill the vacancy left by death of Mr. Cordell. Moved by Morris,seconded by Perry, to concur. Carried. D-,'Llquist inquired regarding policy to be followed regarding the Mayor's appointments and Mayor Custer advised that at one point a majority of the Council requested that the Mayor submit appointments to the Committee of the Whole so the Mayor proceeded on this basis. ribs was in regard to those required by law to have approval by the Council, however, not all Council Members attended the Committee of the Whole Meeting and it was subsequently voted by majority that appointments be made to the Council at the regular meetings and if Council then wishes to take more time for questioning the appointees or desires further information it will be referred to the Committee of the Whole and this wish has been followed. Perry noted that appointments not requiring concurrence so state in the Mayor's letters. -5- 466 Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 9-18-67 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: New Business: Cont.

Perry inquired regarding the matter of defective water pipe in Tiffany Park, having received inquiry whether they were going to be replaced and if funds have been set aside for this. Mayor Custer recalled that sometime ago a lawsuit had been commenced and it would be somewhat prejudicial to replace the pipe. Upon inquiry, City Attorney Shellan reported that the City had started the lawsuit and has since been joined by a number of parties and the case was placed on the calendar for trial on February 28, 1968. Beale Pipe Co. has been in contact with the City,the element of time being one problem under discussion irs ofar as the Statute of Limitations is concerned with respect to the time the Plat wrs accepted. Some plan is being discussed where the Company might work out provisions for replacing the pipe or giving monetary allowance as to life of the pipe had it not been defective. The matter is pending settlement or lawsuit at this time . Dahlquist requested that Consultants be hired to make a study of the City's Fire Department going on 8 hx. shifts as compared to the 24 on and 48 hrs. off they are now working, not feeling they would be alert during the last hours of the 24 hr. shift. Discussion ensued regarding Physical Examinations for the Firemen. Chief Walls advised that the exams had been administered and turned over to the Civil Service Commission . Dahlquist referred to fires where buildings had burned to the ground with reference to the hardware store and the roller rink. Fire Chief Walls noted that this was some time ago and equipment and operations have greatly been updated calling attention to the fact that the Fire Rating in Renton has been upgraded from Class 6 to 4 in two years, the firsttime any City has accomplished this in such a short period of time, noting that the house recently burning to the ground was done so by the Fire Department in a practice drill; and that most cities are on the same 24, on 48 off duty period as Renton. Discussion ensued regarding 8 hr. shift compared to 24 and effect the T.V. and other fecilities provided for the station might have, Dahlquist adding that the Chief should welcome a study being proud of his Department and its performance of duty. Chief Walls stated he would welcome it and the Department was not above any investigation at any time. It was noted in discussion that an 8 hour day shift would require 1/3 more men, that Seattle and many other cities work split shifts, the Class of City having nothing to do with the hours worked. Dahlquist stated that a study would not cost too much but would satisfy the people and show them we do have a good Fire Department. Fire and Water Committee Chairman Delaurenti stated that Renton at present has the best rating and best equipment and very capable men and that we have never had any serious fire and they have doen an outstanding .job for the citizens and if a survey is desired it would be welcome. Dahlquist proposed motion for such a study which died for lack of second it being noted that the matter might better be referred to the Committee of the Whole and [days and Means Committee to see if funds are available for such a study. It was noted that the Mayor's Preliminary Budget recommended a pay plan study for City Employees and this study might be included if the Council feels it should be done. Dahlquist felt some of the budgeted overtime money might be used and Fire Chief Walls noted that this is budgeted to pay replacements when men are off for disability reasons. Garrett requested that the City Clerk notify Mr. Boyd, Land Agent for the Railroad Company that the Franchise requested cannot be acted upon until a meeting is held with the Street and Alley Committee so that it might report back to the Council. -6- 467 ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS : Councilman Morris, Chairman of the Law and Ordinance Committee, submitted for second and final readirg,' an Ordinance which was read by the City Clerk declaring that an emergency exists and appropriating monies for the purpose of providing funds for the city's arterial street fund and the fire department fund necessi4-ated by such emergency.

Upon inquiry regarding action which might be taken on this matter, City Attorney Shellan pointed out that the Airport Board is an autonomous body and the only control the Council would have is at budget time and at the time the appointments are made, except to make suggestions, request reports or urge certain actions but the Airport Board has under its jurisdiction all buildings and confines within the Airport and although anyone may appeal to the Council it legally cannot overrule any action of the Board which is a self-governed body. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Property Committee to meet with the Airport Board and Aero-Dyne Representative and report back its recommenda- tions. The motion carried. Letter from Mr. Norman Abrahamson, 3304 Honeycreek Drive, outlined pros. and cons regarding the grandstand proposals and advised that 757, of the persons he has contacted favor bringing the matter to a vote of the people ; that no political motive is involved but only a desire to insure expenditure of the tax money for the benefit of the majority and betterment of the community as a whole.

No: Hulse, Schellert and Perry. Letter from the King County Labor Council, Chas. IJ. Paddock, Secretary, advised of request from businesses in the Lake Washington area regarding proposed Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton and it was the opinion of the Council at its meeting of September 26th that the establishment of a greenbelt in the subject area be reconsidered by the City, employment of 250 or more persons at these plants who reside in the area plus the loss of taxes by the City deemed to be reason enough to warrant such action.

Carried. -- Letter from the Association of Washington Cities, Chester Biesen, Executive Director, called attention to conference for public officials on the subject of "Collective Bargaining" to be held in Tacoma at the Winthrop Hotel on October 26, 27 and 28th.

Registration fee is $60.00. It was suggested that the President of the Council attend if the Mayor is unable to do so and report back. Mayor Custer advised that he does plan to attend and that attendance is not limited but he will notify Mr. Trimm if he is unable to go. Perry noted that this -- matter was on the Agenda of the Boston Conference he attended and urged attendance for an understanding of what the future might hold for Renton. Letter from The Hon. Brock Adams, in further pursuance of the matter concerning TOPICS advised that Mr. Roe Rodgers, 1007 S. Washington Street, P. 0. Box 29, Olympia, Wash. has been alerted and will give the City any assistance he can.

Many groups would be using the facility and not merely the "Jets" who pay for the lights and is financed by donations from various service clubs, and a covered grand- stand would allow many athletic and other type functions to be held in the City. Councilman Pedersen, referring to Aero-Dyne request regarding the Airport property which matter was referred to the Property Committee requested a.meeting on Wednesday, October 4th with parties concerned and asked that the Mayor contact the Airport Board if this would be convenient. It was noted that Pacific Coast Franchise request is still pending as the Railroad has not yet acknowledged our request for a meeting date. PUBLIC HEARING: Fixing the Final Budget and Making the Tax Levies for 1968 The hearing was declared open. Communication was read from The Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce recommending that capital improvements be financed from G. 0. Bonds, noting that the assessed valuation of the City has increased at greater rate than population expansion and it was felt the citizens and business community should be afforded a de- crease in taxes thus sharing in the valuation increase. Elimination of the Utility Tax was recommended without increase in any other taxes. It was felt that a 571. cost of living increase was adequate to meet competition of the majority of cities surrounding the area, the reclassification and longevity increases helping to retain employees. Letter from the Pacific Coast RR. Co. requested that funds be included in the 1968 budget to extend Stevens St. to connect with Grady Way which is felt to be essential to the development of the Earlington Industrial Park. Audience comment was invited at this time. Mr. Norman Abrahamson, 3304 Honey Creek Drive inquired regarding additional lighting costs in Liberty' Park as shown in the new budget. It was noted that additional Mercury Vapor lights will be installed to replace some existing lights in the park for better lighting and the lights will be extended to additional areas for purposes of safety at night and some effort is being made to match the new style fixtures in the park and around the new library. Mr. Abrahamson inquired regarding the legality of transferring $156,456.00 for the grandstand as an emergency measure. It was pointed out that the project cost has increased during its inception and the time decision was rendered to build and such additional cost was unforseen at the time the budget was prepared, the Council making determination as to what may constitute emergency '-y collective judgement of the legislative body. Mr. Abrahamson inquired whether it would be possible to file an injunction to prohibit expenditure and City Attorney Shellan further advised that it would need to be shown that the Council had acted fraudulently, arbitrarily or capriciously. Discussion ensued rbgarding Council plan^_r-T over se..6ral yeirs -and with the $201,000.00 bids, the need for emer- gency Ordinance for budgeting of necessary funds. Mr. Robert Korn, 825 P Street, Renton requested on behalf of some of the Highlands residents, that funds be transferred to build a covered swimming pool in Kiwanis Park and that the grand stand be built in Cedar River Park from funds in the Cedar River Acquisition Fund. Thepric e of a covered pool was noted by Mayor Custer to cost between $500,000 and 700,000, proposal having previously been included in preliminary budgets and subsequently excluded, which project might-be budgeted and funds accumulated therefor. Mr. Richard Stredicke, 3916 - 10th Ct. North urged budgeting for such swimming pool and recalled campaign brochures for more and better parks, noting expenditure of capital outlay for parks with no new acquisition. Park Director Coulon called attention to the Capital Improvement Program and to the im- provements planned including Shelter Building at Phillip Arnold Park @ $25,000.00, furnishing of Talbot Hill shelter building so it may be used for recreation purposes, $450,000.00 for Lake Washington Beach Park Development, applications- for financial aid being submitted to the State and Federal Governments. Lighting and resurfacing tennis courts in Liberty Park and resurfacing of the Highlands tennis courts, blacktop of park areas for multi-purpose play areas. A Cumulative Reserve Fund has been set up for acquisition purposes,and(following the Capital Improvement Program,)said funds may be used for matching of Federal funds for acquisition. Discussion ensued wherein it was noted that Court action denied the funds which may have improved Lake Washington Park and t:u-,, further noted that the Council implements financing for recommendations that the Park Board gives but that the grand stand was initiated in the Council. Com- mi.ttment has been made for $110,000,00 and will be matched and the City is applying for additional assistance as well to be used for Lake Wn. Beach Park. -5- 4�r:r Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 10-2-67 PUBLIC HEARING: (Fixing the Final Budget and Making the Final Tax Levies for 1968 Discussion ensued regarding the filing for available funds to assist in Capital Im- provements. Mayor Custer advised the City has applied for funds other than the Lake Wn. Beach Park Project application, noting that if previous park bond issues had passed funds would be available for other projects. Forward Thrust, relatively new Program, if passed in February, would provide a share of County millage by G.O. Bond issue and subsequent benefits would be derived by the City with the development of Park facilities. Regarding other applications, a number have been submitted but Renton being comparatively a rich City has not been granted its requests. priority and basis of need being determining factors. Hulse noted that in calling Renton rich it must be likened to a man with a good salary but with 15 children, so we do not have the money without the problems requiring its expenditure. Mr. Korn inquired regarding joint u.e of school facilities and Park Director Coulon outlined .. athletic programs now being held in the school throughout the summer with City Park personnel recreation leader direction, it being noted that a swimming program has been discussed upon completion of the new school. Also discussed was the use of a stadium and possible location of school Administion facilities within the proposed Civic Center complex. Further audience comments were invited on other aspects of the Budget and Mr. Paul Maxin made inquiry as to why the City Clerk and Mayor did not receive a salary increase. It was pointed out that State Law does not allow an increase in salary during the term of office of elected officials. Inquiry was made regarding differences in budgeted amounts for vehicles for various City Departments and it was noted that one vehicle was more costly as it was a nine-passenger van to be used by the Planning Commission for field trips. Mr. Maxin inquired why the pool was closed from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. and Park Director Coulon advised that the law requires that a complete pool clean up be done and this is done at this time and serves at the same time as a dinner hour for the workers. Mr. Maxin inquired whether the pool could be kept open during this period if additional help were hired and Mr. Coulon advised that this could be done if an employee could be kept for 8 hours. Covering of the pool was discussed, it being noted that the balloon type cover is not considered satisfactory for public type operation with the volume use in the Renton pool, at $6,000.00 but that $100,000.00 to $200,000.00 was a more likely cost figure for a proper cover. The matter of a pool in the Highlands was point of inquiry and Park Director Coulon stated that the Park Board wishes to take note of the impact the new Hazen High pool might have in this area. The matter of a library in the Highlands was discussed, it being noted that the present branch library roof needs repair and thr.t the Library Board makes its recom- mendations to Council as does the Park Board for improvements and for new facilities. - Bob Wray, 1033 R Street, expressed his view that planning for future parks should be put in the budget at this time in looking to the future, such facilites being of much value when annexation benefits are explained to prospective petitioners, and if not done now the future date may be too late. Awaited funds may not be forthcoming, the Applications often lying in a basket and the $825 million dollars for Forward Thrust being a long way from passed. It was pointed out that the facilities heretofore noted do not include recreation facilities for children 5-6-7 years of age of which there are 76 in his block who now go to President Park and Kennydale, playing in the street much of the time, and it is time now for implementing the programs not wait until "tomorrow" . Mr. Maxin requested information regarding funds budgeted for Statewide Retirement and Mayor Custer advised that the retirement program is a contribution program where members and the City both participate and the Departmental amounts are determined by the number of employees,the pay,,rate and ages and may vary greatly accordingly. Schellert,noting reference to $3,300.00 budgeted for Parks in Cumulative Reserve Fund #1689, inquired whether this was the total being appropriated for Park Acquisition. It was noted that $19,000.00 was budgeted in 1967 and with the current amount there will be a total of $36,205.00 accummulated in the acquisition fund. As there was no further comment, it was moved by Schellert, seconded by Poli, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Council President Trimm recalling request from the Municipal Arts Commission for transfer of $600.00 from Cumulative Reserve Fund 2283 for landscaping of the islands in front of the High School on Second Avenue, moved that the money requested be appropriated into the 1968 Budget with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee. The motion was seconded by Hulse . Schellert noted that the matter of the 1968 Budget is before the Council and the matter requested is for 1967 budgetary expenditure. Perry noted that there has been no meeting of the Committee of the Whole and that although som $10,000.00 is now in the fund the request of the Renton Downtown Merchants Association for planter boxes is still pending and the matter needs to be discussed. A vote on the pending motion was taken and being dissenting, with the Chair ruling in affirmative majority, roll call was requested and resulted as follows: Aye: Trimm, Hulse, Gianini, Pedersen and Morris. No: Schellert, Garrett, Perry, Delaurenti and Poli. The tie was broken by the Mayor's No vote and the motion lost, it being suggested the matter be given consideration for funding from the 1967 budget. -6- Minutes - Renton City CogngJJ Meettpg WS-49 483 PUBLIC HEARING: (Cont.)

Increase uniform allowance by $25.00 per year. Add 1rl, to non-uniform salary increase,(6%). Reinstate 1% Utility Tax and reduce Park Department Account 610 by $20,579.00, loan repayment, adding $4,000.00 for underground wiring. Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Gianini, to concur in the recommendations as read, adopting the Preliminary Budget figures with exceptions as outlined. Ted Bennett, on behalf of the Non-Uniformed employees called attention to the request for 10% increase noting that beginning Patrolmen are being raised 14127- and non uniformed employees 6�. It was pointed out that with addition of the ]A Utility Tax at least a 72/ increase could be given. Last year the Employees had been re- quested to go along with the 212% reduction from the 107o so that when uniformed re- classifications were effected they would be separate and there was 2 of 1% difference to which little protest was made however this year the differences range from 5-t -7 and 85yo which is not felt to be a fair. Seattle increases of $80.00 to $85.00 range from 6 to 14% and it was requested that the Council reconsider its action and increase non-uniform personnel salaries by an additional 1V. funding from deletion of the 1% utility tax reduction. Mrz Richard Stredicke asked if the Council had been prepared to pass on the Committee recommendations and completely ignore everything said by the people who came in to be heard on the budget. Having had a call for the vote on the pending motion the Chair accepted the discussions as points of information and if no point was to be raised from question vote was declared to be in order and the motion was voted upon and carried, adopting the 1968 Budget presented by the Mayor with revisions and amendments as listed. Council President Trimm reported recommendation that the 10 Utility Tax be re- instated. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Gianini, to concur. Schellert noted he had been given no opportunity to make additional recommendations to the operating portion of the budget; that he would have made some additions putting the budget out of balance and requiring changes on the revenue, it being possible that some Council Members may have wanted to take some action concerning non-uniformed employee salaries and some regarding parks. Perry inquired whether Mr. Schellert had suggestions for funding if the Utility tax were deleted. Schellert said he did; that if $190,000 were available in Cedar Rivcr Acquisition Fund amd Council initiated to change location of the grand stand they would have $156,000 to work with and could balance the budget and still have money to increase non-uniform salaries or park acquisition or towards a covered swimming pool in the highlands. Perry suggested these recommendations be made "- if the motion is voted down. Question was called for and dissenting voice vote was registered with the Chair ruling a negative majority. Roll call was requested by at least two members and resulted as follows: Aye: Hulse, Gianini, Pedersen, Delaurenti, Poli and Morris. No: Trimm, Schellert, Garrett, Perry.

After the final reading, it was moved by Schellert, seconded by Perry, to adopt Ordinance No. 2365 as read. Roll call vote was taken and resulted in all ayes. The motion carried. Councilman Morris submitted proposed Ordinance of the City of Renton which was read by the City Clerk, granting unto Puget Sound Power & Light Company, A Corporation, its successors and assigns, the right, privilege, �authority and franchise to set, erect, construct and maintain poles and wires, underground cables, together with appurtenances thereto, upon, over, under, along, across the streets, avenues, alleys of the City of Renton for the purpose of transmission, distribution and sales of electric energy, for power, heat and light and for any other purpose or purposes for which electricity may be used. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Perry, to refer the proposed Ordinance to the Law and Ordinance Committee to be held 30 days pending proper publication as required by law. Carried. (30 Year Franchise Period) Audience comment was invited and Mr. Stredicke requested the Attorney to advise of statutory requirements for adopting the budget as he felt it should have been held over for consideration of the requests and recommendations made this evening. City Attorney Shellan advised that the law requires a public hearing on the adoption of all governmental budgets whether City State or County with the first hearing date on October 2nd. Two conflicting laws exist, however, one states it must be adopted by Friday the other states the City Clerk must certify to the assessor the tax levy for tax purposes by Wednesday so if not adopted by Tuesday zr:' certified on Wednesday no tax money would be allocated. As to why the Council does not change its budget at the public hearing upon recommendation of 4-5 or 6 persons, this was not a legal matter but a matter of public relations or public opinion. The Preliminary Budget is to establish amount of expenditures and citizens have the right to pressure the legislative body which can transfer at any time of the year and put the money into Parks or elsewhere. Stredicke noted that the evident changes in the budget were made where those groups who had time for strong lobby applied pressures. Discussion ensued regarding the millae and inquiries were made regarding exclusion of the public from Committee of the Whole meetings, Mr. Maxin and Mrs. Margaret Evans advising they were not permitted attendance. Council President Trimm noted that Mr. Maxin was advised that the meeting was just the Mayor's presentation to the Committee -8- 485 Minutes - Renton City Council 4eeting 10-2-67 and that he understood, since the CNxrciI Was, meeting in, the small. Committee room and not the Council Chamber, that Mrs. Evans did not want to sit in the smoke filled room. Mrs. Evans state that she had asked if she might come in and was told there was not enough room and that the meetings are public meetings and that she came because of personal interest. Council. President Trimm advised that the meeting was held in the smaller committee room as the Council Chamber was in use by the Planning Commission. Perry suggested, as had been requested, that the Uniform allowance be paid at the beginning of the year in full, during the month of January. Discussion ensued regarding matter of adding the sum to the annual salary and eliminate the paperwork which seemed to be the problem, however, the money is to be spent only for uniforms and the point was raised as to results when someone terminates and there being some question as to whether this would be permissible for a second class City. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Fire and Water Committee and Police and License Committee for recommendation. Carried. There being no further business to come before the Legislative Body, the motion was made by Pedersen and seconded by Poli, to adjourn. Carried. The meetin was adjourned at 11;50 p.m. He lmie W.

PRELIMINARY MEETING WITH PROPERTY OWNERS -- ANNEXATIONS Sylvina Pague - He-at'Tier Dbwns area: There being no written communication regarding this annexation audience comment was invited. Mr. Robert Gnapp on behalf of Mzs Pague advised that the annexation was being requested to bring sewers to 77 lots now under development and that no other properties or owners have been included. It was noted that the boundary resulting from this proposed annexation was very irregular and the Council indicated preference to have the additional some 70 lots iftow developed included to establish a more uniform boundary line, the Fire Department and Police Department otherwise'finding'it difficult to determine which lots are within the City. It was noted that the matter has been referred to the Committee of the Whole to discuss the boundary. Councilman Schellert inquired whether the owners would be willing to assume their pro rata shares of the City's pre-existing bonded indebtedness in event of annexation and Mrs. Pague replied affirmatively. Moved by Perry, seconded by Schellert, to continue the preliminary meeting until Monday, November 6th. Attention was called to the fact that the reason for continuation is to discuss a more uniform boundary for the City Limits line. Mr. Gnapp advised that they will be removing unsightly brush and debris and adding $ value to the City by this development and that the boundary was laid out by the City Engineer- ing office as the common point of tangency to continue the Citic Limits line which is already irregular. Perry stated that the Committee of the Whole should discuss the boundary with caution to- -avoid , creation of an island. Schellett suggested the Petitioners take note of the date set for Committee of the Whole meeting for discussion of this matter. The ending motion ca ried, setting November 6th for further meeting.

Hoven, 9829 - 106th Ave. S .E. stated that he was not against the L.I.D. and that 99% of the people were not protesting the installation but the cost and method of advertising.

Upon inquiry, City Attorney Shellan advised that the law is quite clear, the people having 30 days to protest and only in event of defraud would deviation be allowed and as far as this particular L.I.D. is concerned it is dead. Discussion ensued regarding proceeding under health status and how long the bid could be held. Mr. Walter Tracey, 10227 S .E. 94th Street advised that he would proposed proceeding on health hazard method rather than to see the L.I.D. die and re- quested that the Council take this under advisement.

Councilman Delaurenti, Chairman of the Fire and Water Committee, submitted report prepared by the City Engineering Department regarding water problem in Monterey Terrace area as per Monterey Community Club complaint-of bad water condition. Ron Olsen, Water Engineer, reported that 39 residents were contacted and it was concluded that two sepa- rate problems existed, one the rusty water and bad taste and possible pressure problem. It was concluded that, since the lines were 15 to 16 years old some deterioriation may exist in the main as well as the private lines although with 65 residents using water there should be plenty of circulation to provide a good,clean supply. The mains are 4" steel and in a looped system although the area is at the end of a trunk main system and it was decided that test samples should be taken to see exactly what condition exists regarding the lines and that a regular program of flushing the hydrants and mains should be commenced until enough information has been obtained to solve the problem. The tast and odor likely from chemical action of the deterioriating pipe rather than not enough circulation. Pressure charts revealed a fairly constant rate of pressure except when the Mt. Olivet Pump station was in operation and of the 6 residents noting high pressure 4 had no pressure reducers in their private systems. Tests revealed that those having high pressures for a short period of time had pressures exceeding the water main pressure indicating that such was likely induced into the system by water hammer and then locked in by the pressure reducer. Mr. Barnes, consultant,offered solution that there should be surge relief tanks installed in back of the pressure reducers. Councilman Delaurenti advised that this is a preliminary report and upon completion of further investigation the final report will be submitted and requested that the Community Club be advised of the action taken to date. -4- Minutes - Renton City Council Meeting 10-16-67 COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: (Cont.)
