PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published,
Annexation: Renton 91 Mayor Clymer reopened the public meeting to consider the Renton 91 10%
notice of intent annexation petition. The meeting was continued on 12/19/88
to allow all property owners the opportunity to review the proposal for
rr.c annexation of six parcels totalling approximately 14.42 acres located east of
the existing Renton corporate limits in the vicinity of SE 76th Street (north
of NE 44th Street). At the previous meeting, Martin Seelig, owner of 4.81
acres in the northeastern portion of the annexation, indicated support of the
annexation if he could be assured of a multifamily or commercial zone. June
Huson and Trina Hoof, co-owner of a one-half acre residential lot in the
center of the eastern boundary, opposed the annexation due to impacts from
urban development and City taxes. Planning Manager Larry Springer
reviewed background information: signatures on the petition constitute 6.1%
of the total assessed valuation; in addition, owners of property representing
72.6% of the assessed valuation have executed a covenant to annex for a total
of 78.7% of the assessed valuation. The proponent wishes to annex in order
to extend City of Renton utilities and emergency services to a 91-unit
multifamily residential complex proposed on the site.
Referring to a vicinity map, Planning Manager Larry Springer designated the
location of the subject site and described the surrounding uses. He advised
that according to City departments, the annexation represents a logical
extension of City services and boundaries. However, staff comments indicate
that storm drainage problems exist in the area, Lake Washington Boulevard N.
is deteriorating in the vicinity and will be severely impacted by increased
traffic, and emergency response times will be longer than normal to this area
of the City.
Mr. Springer reported that staff has met with property owners since the
Council meeting of 12/19/88 to respond to questions relating to the
,r annexation. He discussed options for deletion of either or both the Seelig and
Huson/Hoof properties or inclusion of both to establish regular City
boundaries in that area of the City. Mr. Springer summarized the
departmental recommendation to accept the 10% petition for the entire area
as submitted, authorize circulation of the 75% petition, and delay discussion
of deletion of properties until the 75% hearing; require simultaneous
imposition of City zoning on the property; and require the property owners to
assume their proportional share of the City's bonded indebtedness.
4
January 9. 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 4
Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Springer explained that the bulk of the site will
not develop without annexation since most areas will require sewer service
from Renton.
Martin Seelig, P.O. Box 1925, Bellevue, advised that payments have been
made for sewer and water LID assessments for his property since the mid-
70's. Since concurrent review by the hearing examiner is required for rezone
to a density higher than G or R-1, Mr. Seelig requested that either a 45-day
continuance be granted to allow for preparation of the required site plan or
the City delete his property from the annexation scope since assignment of a
G or R-1 zone would represent a substantial downzone from existing King
County zoning of high density multifamily. Mr. Springer confirmed the
requirement for hearing examiner review of a rezone and associated site plan
for more intensive zoning.
Councilman Stredicke referenced information contained in correspondence
from June Huson which cited potential impacts from annexation including
increases in property taxes, monthly utility bills, emergency response time,
and business tax. He pointed out that utility bills are lower in Renton than
in King County, and he questioned relevance of business tax to residential
property. June Huson, 11030 SE 76th Street, Renton, indicated that
information in the letter was quoted by staff, City boundaries in the area of
the subject site are already irregular, and she holds a King County business
license to operate a container garden business at her home.
Keolker-Wheeler indicated concern with unresolved issues but felt that those
issues would best be addressed at the public hearing to consider the 75%
petition. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY REED,
COUNCIL PROCEED WITH THE 75% PETITION BUT NOT SET A DATE
FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME, REQUIRE
SIMULTANEOUS IMPOSITION OF CITY ZONING ON THE PROPERTY,
AND REQUIRE PROPERTY OWNERS TO ASSUME THEIR
PROPORTIONAL SHARE OF THE CITY'S BONDED INDEBTEDNESS.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler agreed with Councilman Stredicke that it is
unfair to force single family residential property into annexation because of
large property owners and conversely asked staff to assess whether it would
be more detrimental to the property owners opposing annexation if they were
deleted from the annexation than if they were included. MOTION
CARRIED.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Harold Brandt, 12727 SE 63rd Street, Bellevue, requested advancement to
Advancement Requested Planning and Development Committee report under Old Business. MOVED
BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY REED, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE
REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO OLD BUSINESS.
CARRIED.
Planning and Planning and Development Committee Vice-Chair Stredicke presented a
Development Committee report regarding the Urbaniak rezone appeal. The Planning and Development
Appeal: Urbaniak Committee convened on December 29, 1988, to reconsider the rezone request
Rezone, R-007-88 of Roger Urbaniak. The subject property is located south of NE 43rd Place
(SE 80th Street) and west of Lincoln Avenue NE. The applicant seeks a
rezone of 3.5 acres of property from R-1 to B-1 to allow future commercial
development.
On June 6, 1988, the hearing examiner recommended the City Council deny
this rezone request as untimely. The Committee tabled consideration of this
appeal to give the applicant an opportunity to come forward with a more
specific proposal. The applicant did not come forward with a more specific
proposal on December 29, 1988. Therefore, the Committee recommended
that the City Council concur in and adopt the recommendation of the hearing
examiner and deny this rezone request.
Furthermore, because there may have been confusion regarding the
Committee's requirements, it is recommended that the Council waive that
portion of the City Code, 4-725(D), which prohibits reapplication for rezone
within twelve months. (See later motion.)
Referring to an area map, Mr. Brandt designated the location of the subject
site, described surrounding uses, and provided background information. He
disagreed that the rezone is premature and speculative since he has had
frequent inquiries about sale of the property. Upon Council inquiry
regarding a local improvement district which failed in the area last year, Mr.
Brandt indicated his opinion that the LID, which would have funded
extension of utilities to participating properties as well as major traffic and
roadway improvements, would have benefitted commercial properties more
January 9. 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 5
than his own. He also claimed that the site is served by sewers provided
through an LID which has now been paid.
Council discussion was held regarding timeliness of the rezone and
surrounding uses. Vice-Chairman Stredicke clarified that all of the B-1
zoned property located south of NE 44th Street is undeveloped and business
property to the north is not in proximity to the subject site. Mr. Brandt
pointed out that property to the west has been developed as a light industrial
use and development of the subject site cannot be developed without a
rezone. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY TRIMM, COUNCIL

OLD BUSINESS Community Services Committee Chairman Reed presented a report
Community Services concerning the 1989 Risk Management Plan. The Committee asked specific
Committee questions about the deductible increase in the City's medical plan, and the
Finance: 1989 Risk status of problems that have been occurring with claims processing by
Management Plan Network Management, Inc. The Finance Director advised that as a result of
increase of the medical deductible from $50,000 to $60,000, the City will pay
the same premium levels in 1989 as paid in 1988. Retention of the $50,000
deductible is possible but would result in a significant premium increase.
To reduce problems with claims, NMI plans to implement several procedural
changes. The Committee recommended approval of the 1989 Risk

PRESENTATIONS for donating over 500 hours of service to the Police Department. Mayor
Police: Volunteer Service Clymer congratulated Mr. Durden and presented him with a service plaque in
Award - Stu Durden honor of his contributions to the City.
Puget Sound Water Sheila Kelly, representing the Puget Sound Water Quality Authority,
Quality Authority 1989 presented a summary of the 1989 Management Plan. She discussed progress
Work Plan of the Authority in carrying out the 1987 water quality plan, and advised that
the 1989 plan updates and refines existing programs and includes new
initiatives in monitoring, research and education. Funding in the amount of
$54 million for the 1990-91 biennium reflects a reduction from $88 million
in the draft plan. Ms. Kelly briefly summarized the programs included in
the Plan: nonpoint source pollution, shellfish protection, municipal and
industrial discharges, contaminated sediments and dredging, stormwater and
combined sewer overflows, wetlands protection, spill prevention and response,
laboratory support, and household hazardous waste.
Upon Council inquiry regarding whether there are yet regulations on
pesticides as part of yard waste collection, Ms. Kelly advised that the
Authority is just now doing scoping on the disposition of pesticides, but the
program has not yet been developed.
PUD: Final, Victoria Hills Planning Manager Larry Springer reviewed status of Victoria Hills Final
Phase II, FPUD-042-85 Planned Unit Development. He reiterated intent of Resolution No. 2742,
adopted by Council on 10/3/88, which permitted relocation of the access road
to Benson Road, realignment of the internal roadway, and relocation of two
buildings. The resolution also conditioned approval of the modified PUD on
several requirements which had to be met by January 14, 1989. Lastly, the
resolution extended the completion date of the entire PUD to January 14,
1990, if all of the conditions were met. Mr. Springer reviewed the conditions
and staffs findings regarding compliance:
(1) Submission of phased plans to ensure completion of unfinished buildings
prior to starting construction of new buildings (including installation of
curbs, gutters, streets and sidewalks on the whole site; completion of
buildings on existing foundations; exteriors of two existing buildings; all
earth work; and completion of water line crossing at intersection of
Victoria Way and Victoria Lane): not completed.
(2) Hydroseeding of the entire site by 10/15/88 and ensuring that all storm
drainage systems are working: not completed by 10/15/88 but now
completed.
(3) Delineating emergency access roads: not completed.
January 23, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Pan 16
(4) Installing hydrants: completed.
(5) Obtaining Board of Public Works approval of driveway slope: approved
subject to conditions.
(6) Landscaping steep slopes behind single family homes: not completed.
Mr. Springer explained that delays in installing the project's electrical
distribution system resulted in prevention of the roadways from being
completed on schedule and adequate fire access from being provided.
Consequently, a stop work order was issued on any additional framing of
structures on Victoria Way and Victoria Drive until a minimum 20-foot wide
gravel driveway had been provided throughout the project. It was not until
recently that such a gravel road was provided in the southern portion of the
site and a road still has not been built in the northern portion. Therefore,
staff has recommended that the stop work order issued on January 17, 1989,
stay in effect for at least another two weeks to allow time for staff, the
applicant, and the Victoria Hills Homeowners' Association to explore the
consequences of abandonment or contractual extension of the PUD. Mr.
Springer discussed need for a contract and a substantial bond if the PUD is
extended for a year.
Council asked whether hydroseeding has been completed. Mr. Springer
advised that although hydroseeding has been applied to steep slopes, areas
around the building pads are not yet seeded due to construction activity.
Upon further Council inquiry, Mr. Springer advised that the underlying
zoning on the site is R-1, single family residential, and the site would revert
to that classification if the PUD were to be abandoned.
Joel Gordon, attorney for First City Developments, 1011 Western Avenue,
Seattle, introduced his client to explain why conditions were not met by the
specified deadline. He also agreed to contractual conditions and bonding to
assure timely completion of the project.
Dick Van der Peyl, Vice President of First City Developments, apologized for
not meeting the City's deadline for completion of conditions. He explained
that work was stopped on 10/7/88, 18 days after approval of the extension by
the City Council, due to lack of internal roadways. Work resumed on
10/31/88 and, due to wet weather, the internal road was not completed until
11/29/88. Framing began on 12/2/88 and continued until the work stoppage
occurred on 1/17/89. Mr. Van der Peyl calculated that since approval of the
PUD revision on 9/19/88, there have been only 47 days allowed for
construction due to the stop work order. Expressing his opinion that the only
condition that was not met was completion of internal roadways, Mr. Van der
Peyl urged Council to extend the PUD since approximately $2 million has
been expended on site improvements. He also agreed to a contract and bond,
and gave personal assurances that the project would be completed to the
City's satisfaction. He reminded Council that the project was delayed during
the summer building season while negotiations were held with Victoria Hills
residents which resulted in modification of access and building relocation in
accordance with desires of the residents.
Kyle Anderson, Eastside Consultants of Issaquah, 415 Rainier Boulevard,
Issaquah, civil engineer for the project, indicated that he has been at the site
daily to assure that maintenance of all erosion control and siltation devices
have been carried out. He noted that crews were periodically pulled off
building sites to work on erosion control when needed, and it was his opinion
that construction activity proceeded as fast as possible given the
circumstances. Finally, he estimated that paving on the entire site would
have been completed within the next week and one-half if work had been
allowed to continue.
Mr. Gordon summarized earlier testimony regarding delays incurred by the
development due to modification of the plan and rainy weather. He relayed
the developer's agreement to performance bond, contract, right-of-entry, and
lien rights for expenses incurred if any remedial action is required by the
City to complete the project. Finally, Mr. Gordon urged acceptance of the
conditions and approval of an extension by the Council since the
consequences of other alternatives may result in the site remaining
undeveloped for an indefinite period of time.
Jeff Lukins, President of Victoria Hills Homeowners Association, 1113 S.
23rd Street, Renton, reviewed history of the project and efforts of
homeowners to ensure a quality project in the neighborhood. Noting that the
final PUD was granted in 1986 for a two-year period, he reviewed conditions
January 23, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 17
established in September, 1988, and reported whether or not he feels the
condition has been met. He reported the conclusion of the board that the
PUD expired on 1/14/89 and any further development on the site should be
built to current PUD standards. He asked that the homeowners association
board members be included in further meetings with staff and the developer
and that the board have the opportunity to hold a special meeting with the
association before a final decision is made.
George Post, 1122 S. 27th Place, Renton, discussed options available to either
close down the project and require restoration of the site or allow the
developer to continue but with specific building time lines and posting of a
performance bond to ensure completion of the project by January, 1990. He
felt that these options are more than fair to the developer, and refusal to
complete the project by January of 1990 would warrant requiring reversion
of the site to its original single family housing with no provision for
multifamily housing.
Paul Ferraro, 1142 S. 23rd Street, Renton, discussed current and future
impacts from the development to his residence located next door to the site,
including interruption of sleep by ongoing construction noise and loss of
privacy due to proximity of three multifamily buildings. He questioned why
the project is allowed to continue in view of citizen opposition, and asked
why staff and the developer had not considered onset of the rainy season
when establishing construction schedules last September.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler empathized with neighbors who have been
impacted by the project for many years. She reviewed the two available
options for either abandonment or extension of completion date for the
development, and asked that negotiations with the residents and developer
over the next two week period include: tight timelines for completion of the
project, enforceable penalties for non-completion of certain phases,
mitigation for the community for their suffering, current standards for as
many things as possible in this project, protection for the community in case
something goes wrong again, bonding to restore the site to its original
condition if something goes wrong next time, and a clause in the contract
awarding damages to the community if the project is not successfully
completed in the next phase.
Councilwoman Mathews reviewed conditions accepted by the developer last
fall, including acceptance of the deadline with the exception of events out of
the control of the applicant such as denial of slope grade by the City, and
agreement to complete existing foundations but not start any new
foundations. She noted that concerns about bad weather and permit delays
were not expressed by the developer last fall when the January deadline was
set.
Councilman Stredicke discussed the City's policy statement to work with the
people of the community for the betterment of Renton as a "people place."
He supported abandonment of the project, and felt that the site should be
developed for single family use. However, he urged that if Council decides
to grant another extension, a substantial bond be required to return the site to
its original state if the PUD is not completed within the deadline.
Councilman Reed agreed that the project should be abandoned, but due to
the City's investment, he preferred that the development be improved by
adding a transition zone between the multiple and single family use. Mr.
Springer clarified that redesign of the project may not be possible within a
two week period, and abandonment of the existing PUD would be an option
to allow time to resubmit a revised PUD encompassing Council's suggestions.
MOVED BY TRIMM, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, THIS MATTER BE
HELD FOR TWO WEEKS AND REFERRED TO STAFF FOR
NEGOTIATIONS AND PRESENTATION BACK TO COUNCIL AT
COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 6. Councilman Stredicke asked that
options include specific deadlines and performance standards backed by a
substantial bond. CARRIED. It was requested that the staff report on this
matter be provided to Council by Friday, 2/3/89.

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Zoning: Annual Adoption in accordance with local and state laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
of Map hearing to consider the annual zoning map. Referring to the zoning map,
Zoning Administrator Don Erickson reviewed land use changes which have
been approved since the last update on 1/22/88, adopted by Ordinance No.
4119. Changes included 24 rezones representing 221.91 acres, 3 annexations
representing 122.88 acres, and two planned unit developments (one final and
one preliminary) representing 26.56 acres for a total of 10,578.88 acres or
approximately 16.53 square miles.
Audience comment was invited. Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11 th Place, Renton,
explained that as a result of discovery of errors on the zoning map in 1982,
the map is now adopted annually to accurately reflect zone changes approved
during the past year and denote zoning reversions if applicable. Displaying a
zoning map, Mr. Evans pointed out G-1-zoned single family lots in the City
which contain less than 35,000 square feet, the minimum required lot size of
the G-1 zone. He requested correction of the map to reflect R-1 zoning,
requiring minimum 7200 square foot lot size, for those single family uses.
Planning Manager Larry Springer agreed that those areas need to be
addressed at some future time; however, he clarified that rather than merely
correcting the map, Mr. Evans' request would require hundreds of City-
initiated rezones, a controversial and time-consuming process. He also
explained that the reason the referenced properties are not zoned correctly is
because of the City's former policy to assign G-1 zoning to all properties at
the time of annexation as a holding zone; and some of those properties were
already platted in King County. The policy has since been changed to assign
correct zoning concurrently at the time of annexation. Upon Council inquiry,
Mr. Springer confirmed that the owner of a G-1-zoned legal building lot can
locate a single family home on that lot regardless of size without applying for
a rezone; however, if an owner wished to subdivide a parcel of undeveloped
G-1 zoned property, the minimum 35,000 square foot lot size would be
required.
Babe Toman, 3423 NE 10th Place, Renton, concurred with Mr. Evans'
suggestion that the zoning map be corrected. Mr. Springer reiterated the
distinction between correcting the map and initiating rezones which would
require thousands of hours of staff time.

Vacation: VAC-88-004, This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Duvall Avenue in accordance with local and state laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
NE/Sunset NE, ARCO hearing to consider the petition for vacation of a portion of Duvall Avenue
NE submitted by Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO). The property is
located along the frontage of Duvall Avenue NE just north of its intersection
with NE Sunset Boulevard. Correspondence was read from Lynn Guttmann,
Public Works Director, reporting that on the original plat, a five-foot strip
was dedicated to the street right-of-way for a bicycle trail. The Board of
Public Works reviewed the vacation request and concluded that the strip was
not needed for future pedestrian/traffic circulation. The Board recommended
assignment of Class "B" classification to the vacation since no public funds
have been expended on acquisition, improvement or maintenance of the area.
Therefore, no appraisal is required nor is compensation to the City required
by the petitioner.
Referring to a site map, Ms. Guttmann described the proposal for vacation of
the five-foot strip containing 1,002 square feet dedicated as a requirement of
short plat approval in 1988 (File No.Sh. Pl. 089-87). She indicated that
because sufficient right-of-way exists to accommodate both a bicycle trail
and roadway improvement, the five-foot strip inside the ARCO property line
is no longer required. Further, she advised that although easements are not
needed for natural gas, telephone, cable and electricity, an easement is
required by the City for water and sanitary sewer in the area. Upon Council
inquiry, Ms. Guttmann confirmed that the dedicated strip runs the entire
length of the ARCO property. Administrative Assistant Parness assured that
the roadway can be built to its ultimate configuration including curbs,
January 23, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Paye 19
gutters, sidewalks and bicycle trail and will conform to the property line to
the north without the five-foot strip.
Tom Barghausen, Barghausen Consulting Engineers, 18215 72nd Avenue S.,
Kent, representing the petitioner, concurred in the recommendation of the
Board of Public Works. Upon Council inquiry, he also confirmed that he was
the applicant's representative in the conditional use permit request for an
ARCO mini-mart on NE 4th Street last year. MOVED BY REED,

CARRIED. Councilman Stredicke requested that his "no" vote be recorded.
AUDIENCE COMMENT Robert Thorpe, R. W. Thorpe & Associates, 1300 Alaska Building, 2nd and
Comprehensive Plan: Cherry, Seattle, indicated he represents 11 property owners of 104 acres
Southeast - requesting a comprehensive plan update of the area located north of South
Thorpe/Sayers 192nd Street and east of SR-167 in the vicinity of Talbot Road. He
submitted a proposal for the Talbot Road Comprehensive Plan Amendment,
January, 1989, prepared by his firm and Julian Sayers, President of The
Sayers Associates, Inc., 1133 37th Avenue, Seattle, which requests
redesignation of the area from R-1 and G-1, single family residential
classifications currently recommended in the Southeast Comprehensive Plan,
to R-2, low density multifamily classification. The study takes the position
that an amendment is timely due to changed circumstances in the area
associated with expansion of Valley Medical Center, demand for multiple
family housing, and suitability of the area for clustered development due to
terrain, soil type and access to transportation corridors. Mr. Thorpe
requested that the matter be referred to the Planning Commission for
inclusion in the 1989 work program or recognized as a high priority in
comprehensive plan update review. Upon inquiry, Mr. Thorpe confirmed
that the request constitutes a formal application for comprehensive plan
update. MOVED BY REED, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO
DETERMINE: 1) WHETHER IT HAS MERIT; AND 2) WHETHER IT
SHOULD BE A PRIORITY IN THE 1989 WORK PROGRAM OR THE
ONGOING CITY-WIDE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE, AND
REPORT BACK TO COUNCIL. CARRIED.
Advancement Requested Ralph Roberts, 235 Garden Avenue N., Renton requested advancement to
Correspondence Item 8.c., Boeing petitions opposing Garden Avenue traffic
revisions. MOVED BY REED, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
COUNCIL SUSPEND THE REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS AND
ADVANCE TO CORRESPONDENCE, ITEM 8.C. CARRIED.
CORRESPONDENCE Petitions signed by 142 employees of The Boeing Company were read
Item 8.c. requesting removal of traffic revisions forcing southbound traffic on Garden
Streets: North Renton Avenue N. to turn right onto N. 4th. The petitioners expressed concern that
Traffic Revisions traffic revisions will cause traffic backups on Garden Avenue, create traffic
hazards as merging cars cross several lanes to turn left on Park, and increase
air pollution as traffic remains snarled for longer periods. Expressing an
opposing view, Mr. Roberts, Garden Avenue resident, expressed appreciation
for the traffic diverter which has reduced flow of traffic through the
residential area, and urged that the diverter be retained.
Councilwoman Mathews questioned the validity of the petitions since most of
the petitioners live in areas to the north of the Boeing complex and would
not be using the southbound route along Garden Avenue.
Marge Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue N., Renton, provided an analysis of
destinations of petitioners based upon their addresses. She noted that only
nine of the petitioners live inside the City limits, and she felt there was no
reason that employees could not use alternative routes other than Garden
Avenue and spare residents from the impacts of heavy commuter traffic.
Public Works Director Lynn Guttmann indicated she has met with residents
to discuss objections of petitioners to new traffic channelization on Garden
Avenue N. She cautioned that the City will be experiencing continued
conflict between competing needs of residents and commuters. Therefore,
she recommended that the City maintain an open dialogue between all
parties, monitor the situation for three months, and in May, invite a number
of interested people with opposing views to meet and discuss their
observations. Reports would be presented to Council after the meeting in
May and again in September at the conclusion of the six month period after

maps designating alternative routes could be distributed to Boeing employees
to help them make informed decisions about their route and alleviate traffic
problems. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-
WHEELER, COUNCIL GO ON RECORD AS SUPPORTING THE
RECOMMENDATION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. CARRIED.
Councilman Stredicke asked that the State Legislature be lobbied to expand

waivers or exemptions not be granted, particularly on the upgrading of Blaine

should bear the financial burden for improvement of Blaine Avenue.
Response was entered from Don Erickson, Zoning Administrator, clarifying
the hearing examiner's recommendation for participation by the developer in
a latecomer's agreement to improve Blaine between the north property line of
the subject site and NE 16th Street to City access standards, and advising that
the condition is under appeal to the City Council.
Committee of the Whole Council President Stredicke presented a report regarding the Waste Reduction
Garbage: Waste Reduction and Recycling Program. Staff presented a list of policy issues that were
and Recycling Program discussed as part of preparing the Request for Proposals (RFPs) for vendor
selection. Staff outlined each issue briefly and Council asked questions and
made comments on several of them. The Council debated whether it was
appropriate to require a contractor to pay prevailing wages to their labor
force as stated in the RFP. Council took no action but suggested that they
would discuss the issue again during contract negotiations. Council also
discussed the wisdom of having the City own either the garbage collection
toters or the recycling containers. They also asked about the problem of
differentiating between what is garbage, yard waste, or recyclables when it
has been placed out on the street. Council authorized no changes in the RFP
on these issues. Council also questioned notice availability of the RFPs since
not many vendors have expressed interest in the contracts. Staff will prepare

Rezone: Good Shepherd Council President Stredicke entered letter into the record from Mr. Ralph
Group Home (Olympia Evans, 3306 NE 11th Place, Renton, which objected to statements in letter
Avenue NE), R-015-88 from Zoning Administrator Don Erickson which indicate that there are no
provisions for a full public hearing by the hearing examiner on the remand
of the Good Shepherd rezone appeal, and pointed out that Council would not
have the opportunity to review the extensive record on this matter in order to
reach a fair and just determination. Also noted was the fact that without the
public hearing process, residents would be faced with waiting until the
Council makes a determination on the matter and, if unhappy with the
outcome, having the burden of proving that the city erred in its
determination. The letter reported the wish of Neighbors for R-1
Preservation to go on record as objecting to the proposed format defined in
the letter from Zoning Administrator Don Erickson to all parties of record.

Councilman Stredicke expressed concern with investment of funds from
immediate sale of bonds for the senior housing project since construction
start date is yet unknown. He also pointed out that time must be allotted for
public hearings on the siting, design and other specifics of the housing
project. Mr. George Mack of Foster, Pepper and Sheffelman explained that
bonds would not be delivered nor funds received for at least three weeks. At
that time the City has two options: 1) meet conditions to spend the funds
within three years, enter into a contract representing $100,000 commitment
within six months, and spend the funds with due diligence. That option
would allow investing the funds at a yield greater than the yield of the
bonds, but any profit or arbitrage must be paid to the federal government; or
2) invest funds at restricted yield so that no profit is realized from the
investment if the City is unable to satisfy those requirements above.

SPECIAL City Attorney Warren presented a draft agreement negotiated by staff
PRESENTATION between First City Developments Corporation and the City modifying the
PUD: Final, Victoria Hills Victoria Hills Phase II final planned unit development. The matter was
Phase II, FPUD-042-85 referred to staff for two weeks on 1/23/89 to determine whether the PUD
which expired on 1/14/89 should be abandoned or extended to 1/14/90 with
specific conditions. Referring to a site plan, Mr. Warren reviewed terms of
the agreement which included:
1) Lessening of density from 196 to 180 units by eliminating four buildings,
decreasing three buildings from three to two stories and adjusting the
number of units in each from six to five, and allowing relocation of two
buildings to the center or eastern portion of the site.
2) Establishing timing of building permits for both the developer and the
City, establishing boundaries for Phase I and II, and defining deadlines
for completion of phases.
3) Establishing an Oversight Committee, consisting of the City's Zoning
Administrator, Building Official, and Engineering Supervisor, and giving
the Committee the authority to shut the project down for reasons
specified in the agreement.
5) Defining consequences of missed deadlines.
6) Requiring substantial bonds to be posted to assure that the project will be
completed or if not completed, the property will be properly restored.
7) Restricting time of work, requiring a cash bond for violations, requiring
provision of lien rights and right of entry for the City, and requiring
proof of financial capability to complete the project and bond the
project.
8) Requiring donation to Victoria Hills Homeowners' Association towards a
recreation site, requiring installation of six-foot wooden fence between
single and multifamily developments, limiting construction access from S.
26th Street to emergency vehicles only, and transferring responsibility
for retention pond to multifamily portion of the project.
Discussion was held by Council members to clarify and strengthen language
rri
of the provisions. In response, Mr. Warren agreed to incorporate some of the
suggested changes in the final agreement if an extension is approved by
Council. He also clarified that the on-site improvement bonds delineated in
Section VI.C. will replace existing bonds posted by the developer. Council
suggested that language of Section VIII, which establishes progressive
penalties for violations, be included in every contract executed by the City;
size of landscaping in the buffer area be defined; and transfer of
responsibility of retention pond to the new development be more specific.
Upon inquiry, Mr. Warren discussed options to the City if the project is not
completed by the extended deadline, including possible actions relating to
recovery of bonds in the event the developer files bankruptcy.

Stipulations of the prior agreement executed in September, 1988, were
discussed. Council pointed out that the developer had violated terms of the
agreement in September of 1988 since no new foundations were to be started
until existing buildings were complete. Dick Van der Peyl, Vice-President of
First City Developments Corporation, explained the misunderstanding, and
indicated that additional foundations were poured before the rainy season
began so that interior work could be accomplished during winter months. To
avoid future misunderstandings, Council requested that a condition be added
to the contract for the Oversight Committee to report to the Planning and
Development Committee every two weeks on the progress of the project.
�.. Joel Gordon, attorney for First City Development, assured that the developer
will commit to all requirements imposed by the City and coordinate the
project in accordance with terms of the agreement. He indicated concurrence
with limit placed on conversion of specific buildings from six to five units.
Jeff Lukins, 1113 S. 23rd Street, Renton, President of Victoria Hills
Homeowners' Association, advised that although many of the board members
support abandonment of the project, it was agreed that execution of the
agreement with certain conditions was acceptable. Specifically, he asked that:
1) density be reduced to a maximum of 170 units;
2) reduction of units from six to five be permitted only in the three
buildings where a floor is being removed;
3) all efforts be made to meet timing of building permits, that all
construction be completed and construction noise stopped by January,
1990, and that 150% bonding be retained;
4) a mechanism be included to channel funds back into the general area if
the penalty is enforced;
5) fencing and landscaping be installed early in Phase I, and trees of larger
size be planted;
6) a building color be selected that will blend in with the single family
..� development.
George Post, 1122 S. 27th Place, Renton, asked that the agreement define
exterior finish and roof material. He expressed concern that a major
catastrophe could occur that would take years to resolve, leaving the project
incomplete; and asked for assurance that all interior work would be
completed by the 1990 deadline. Relating previous incidents, Mr. Post asked
that residents be provided with the name of a City official to whom weekend
violations could be reported. City Attorney Warren felt that the developer
has a substantial economic incentive to complete interiors as well as meet the
absolute deadline for completion.
Councilman Stredicke opposed the agreement and supported conversion of the
site to single family use. He recalled that when the PUD master plan for the
project was approved in 1978, Council was convinced that the multifamily
phase would be constructed before the single family phase. The developer
was asked by Council if the conditions proposed by the homeowners'
association were acceptable. Mr. Van der Peyl stated that First Cities has
cooperated fully with residents, and he felt that project delays were largely as
a result of negotiations with homeowners last fall to modify the site plan to
their satisfaction. Attorney Joel Gordon agreed to the stipulations with the
exception of the density reduction since the number of units has already been
reduced from 196 to 180.
Discussion was held regarding density. Mr. Lukins pointed out that under
provisions of the PUD ordinance adopted in 1987, only 96 units would be
.�.. allowed on the site. Mr. Van der Peyl indicated that if relief was given on
costly improvement to Benson Road, consideration could be given to reducing

Plannin¢ and Planning and Development Committee Chairman Reed presented a report
Development Committee concerning the appeal of the Leady conditional permit and site approval for a
Appeal: Leady Short Plat, mini-storage warehouse at 4546 NE Sunset Boulevard. The Committee found
Site Approval, and that the hearing examiner committed a substantial error of law in the
Conditional Use Permit, application of the Aquifer Protection Area Ordinance in barring this form of
Sh. Pl., SA and CU-052- development as a matter of course. The applicant is willing to impose
88 numerous requirements on its lessees to reduce the risk of storage of
hazardous material as reflected in conditions listed on page 8 of the appeal
letter. These nine conditions will become conditions imposed on the
applicant. Further, this mini-storage will not be allowed to accept any
hazardous material (commercial or non-commercial) from any source for
storage. Also, the applicant shall be required to place prominent signs
identifying the types of hazardous material which are prohibited.
The Committee wanted to make clear that it is very concerned about the
aquifer. However, the Committee did not believe that this development
should be restricted based on a tenuous threat of storage of hazardous
material.
As to the conditional use, the Committee recommended that the Council
reverse the decision of the hearing examiner and grant the conditional use
permit.
As to the site plan approval, the Committee found that the hearing examiner
did not address the merits of this site plan. Therefore, the Committee
recommended the Council remand this matter to the hearing examiner with
the following conditions:
1) The hearing examiner grant this application an expedited hearing;
2) At said hearing, the hearing examiner shall review those items offered by
applicant as conditions which appear on pages 8, 12, and 13 of the
applicant's appeal letter. MOVED BY REED, SECONDED BY

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Planning: Land Clearing in accordance with local and state laws, Mayor Pro Tempore Stredicke opened
and Tree Cutting the public hearing to consider adoption of the Land Clearing and Tree
Ordinance Cutting Ordinance. Principal Planner Nancy Laswell-Morris noted the
background on this ordinance began in July 1987, when the land clearing and
tree cutting issue was referred to staff by Council for review, staff responded
by memorandum to Council who in turn referred this matter to the Planning
Commission. In October, 1987 staff prepared an issue paper for Planning and
Development Committee and upon recommendation of the Planning
Committee, Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance based on policy
direction from the issues memorandum, referring ordinance to the Planning
Commission for public hearing. Workshops were held in November and
December 1987, and public hearings between January and March 1988. In
October 1988, the revised Land Clearing and Tree Cutting Ordinance was
again considered and a draft ordinance prepared which addressed the
following issues: clear cutting property prior to making application for
development permits; tree retention during land development; preservation of
habitat; protection of water quality; and retention of trees on developed lots
such as steep sloped property in order to protect adjacent parcels from
damage due to landslides and erosion.
qq
February 20. 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Pan 44
In November, 1988, staff prepared a package of information for the Planning
Commission's consideration which included: 1.) A hearing draft with
regulations for pre-development cutting and land preparation, post-
development cutting in environmentally sensitive areas, and land clearing
using mechanical equipment; 2.) Proposed amendments to the Mining and
Grading Ordinance; 3.) Option 1, performance standards for new
development; and 4.) Option 2, regulations for utilities. The Planning
Commission received testimony on this package on November 30, after which
time the Planning Commission requested additional alternatives of staff. On
December 7, the Planning Commission began deliberations on the original
package of materials, as well as the newly developed alternatives. Option IA
redrafted the performance standards from Option 1, thereby increasing
flexibility for developers in meeting standards. Option 1B included only the
broad policy goals which were part of the performance standards, and Option
3 was a new option based on public testimony to create a mechanism for
vegetation management on undeveloped properties. The intent of Option 3
was to permit land owners to maintain undeveloped property, but to prevent
clear cutting and resource destruction prior to application. In addition, the
Planning Commission considered alternative language for several definitions.
Principal Planner Laswell-Morris further explained that after almost 10 hours
of deliberations, the Planning Commission adopted an ordinance to transmit
to Council which contained: 1.) The Hearing Draft with some modifications
and definitions and general provisions; 2.) Option IA, performance standards
for new development, and 3.) Option 3, vegetation management permit
process and criteria for undeveloped and partially developed land. The
Planning Commission rejected regulations on Utilities, Option 2. The
proposed amendments to the Mining and Grading Ordinance were rejected
because the inclusion of the vegetation management permit process and
clarification of permitted mechanical equipment eliminated any need for
these modifications.
In response to Council inquiry, Principal Planner Laswell-Morris noted that
tree and vegetation protection prior to development is a joint effort between
staff and developers after submittal of a plot plan. She further stated that
routine vegetation management was the most crucial portion of said
ordinance. Routine vegetation management defines tree trimming and ground
cover management, requirement for permit from the Community
Development Department, and undeveloped property would permit
mechanical equipment over 12 horsepower, and no activities in
environmentally sensitive areas which include: slopes over 20 percent; slopes
with landslide and erosion hazards; wetlands; riparian corridors; and
shorelines. Developed or partially developed property would include
allowance of mechanical equipment over 12 horsepower, and no activities in
environmentally sensitive areas such as: 25 feet of shorelines; 25 feet of
creeks; wetlands; and slopes over 40 per cent.
In further response to Council inquiry regarding Glacier Park's proposal on
land holdings within City limits, Ms. Laswell-Morris advised that this
property would be classed undeveloped, and use of mechanical equipment
over 12 horsepower would be permitted with said permit. However the
majority of Glacier Park's holdings would be classified as wetlands, and
maintenance would be allowed to continue until property is developed.
Responding further, Ms. Laswell-Morris stated that a single family residences
on fully developed lots are fully exempt from obtaining a routine vegetation
management permit. She noted that emergency situations apply to both
developed and undeveloped properties, and emergency is defined as:
"Removal of trees and/or ground cover by the Public Works Department,
Parks Department, Fire Department and/or public or private utility in
emergency situations involving immediate danger to life or property,
substantial fire hazards, or interruption of services provided by a utility."
Audience comment was invited. Larry Frazier, representing Seattle Master rr
Builders Association, 2155 - 112th Avenue N.E., Suite 100, Bellevue, stated
that the Seattle Master Builders Association would like to extend appreciation
to the Planning Commission for their efforts in the preparation of the
ordinance, noting the Seattle Master Builders Association worked with City
staff in the preparation of said ordinance, but advised no support would be
given to the ordinance as currently written. Mr. Frazier expressed concern
that further questions should be answered prior to Council enactment of this
ordinance, requested review of wording in the ordinance as it currently is
cumbersome and difficult to understand, questioned costs associated with
administering said code and whether it would prove cost effective, questioned
how many vegetation management permits the City would take on with the
enactment of the ordinance and what effect the enactment timing would
L1s

place on associated land use applications. He also questioned the interface
between applications and building permits, questioned time frames for
processing applications under the terms of the ordinance, and requested the
City provide timelines so that the permits may be moved along in an orderly
fashion.
Letter from Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, suggested
revisions to language in Hearing Draft 1, dated 11/4/88; Option 1,
Performance Standards; and Option 2, Regulations for Utilities, to prevent
misinterpretation of provisions in the future.
David Crowell, representing Seattle-King County Association of Realtors,
�.. 2810 Eastlake Avenue East, Seattle, 98102, submitted written documentation
opposing the proposed ordinance as being overly restrictive. He objected to
certain definitions; recommended revisions to general provisions; suggested
greater flexibility under Section V; opposed permit requirements for routine
vegetation management; and supported revisions to public and private redress
section under the ordinance.
Don Corson, Project Manager for Glacier Park Company, 1011 Western
Avenue, Suite 700, Seattle, 98104, stated that Glacier Park agreed with the
purpose of the Land Clearing and Tree Cutting Ordinance, requested specific
recognition of the practical requirements of maintaining an established
industrial park, expressed concerns regarding wording of said ordinance, and
further stated that the proposed ordinance does not adequately provide for
regular maintenance on large established industrial areas. He felt that
restrictions placed on undeveloped land would not allow continued
maintenance of the property unless a land development permit were
approved, restrictions pertaining to mechanical equipment would not allow
proper maintenance of property, and performance standards must recognize
preservation of a reasonable number of trees consistent with land use, rather
than greatest extent possible. Mr. Corson offered to work with the City in
developing a more workable vegetation management permit process, but
preferred establishment of a categoric exemption for properties such as
Glacier Park's.
Mark Stiefels, Project Manager, KPFF Consulting Engineers, 1201 Third
Avenue, Suite 900, Seattle, 98101, expressed dissatisfaction with the
ordinance in that the language was vague, difficult to understand and apply;
and he requested ordinance be remanded back to committee for re-work and
re-defining.
Councilwomen Keolker-Wheeler and Mathews requested referral back to the
Planning and Development Committee as several issues needed addressing
prior to final adoption.
Councilman Reed commended the Planning Commission for their work on the
proposed ordinance, and reminded Council that since future revisions are
allowable, adoption of ordinance at this time is appropriate. MOVED BY

Storm Drainage Utility minimum rates for storm drainage utility, and felt this discriminated against
low and medium density multi-family zoned residential housing occupying
single family lot, and recommended that the $8,000 allocated for format
changes to the utility billing structure could be better spent hiring meter
readers to allow for monthly meter readings, which would dispose of the
estimated bi-monthly billings.

Preliminary Plat, PP-082- regarding the Dan Swanson Preliminary Plat appeal; property located at NE
88 13th Place and Blaine Avenue NE. The applicant seeks approval to subdivide
2.18 acres into nine single family residential lots.
This application is related to a prior application, the J. R. Garden Addition
filed by Douglas Prellwitz, PP-013-87; located in the 2300 block of NE 13th
Place. (Dan Swanson purchased this plat prior to the hearing on the plat.)
Approval of the J. R. Garden request was conditioned by the hearing
examiner with two requirements, one of which required that the applicant
develop both the easement connecting NE 13th Place with Blaine Avenue NE
and Blaine Avenue NE itself to city standards. That condition was not
appealed.
In the current application, the applicant appealed the recommendation of the
hearing examiner that required participation in a latecomer's agreement to
improve that portion of Blaine between the north property line of the subject
site and NE 16th Street to city access standards. The condition required that
in any event, the applicant shall be required to improve Blaine to its full
width dimensions in order to provide a safe method of ingress and egress for
the proposed plat.
Since the Committee was uncertain of the hearing examiner's intent, it
recommended that this appeal be remanded to city staff and the hearing
examiner for clarification.
The Committee further recommended:
1) This review by staff and the hearing examiner be expedited;
2) This application and conditions be considered in tandem with the
application and conditions of the J. R. Garden Addition plat.
3) The record be reopened to include: All correspondence received
subsequent to the hearing on 11/15/88, and the tape of the Planning
and Development Committee meeting of 2/16/89.
It was not the intent of the Committee that the hearing examiner should hold
another public hearing. This is to clarify the condition imposed in the

Reorganization THE MATTER OF PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT REORGANIZATION.
CARRIED. Councilman Reed invited Public Works Director Lynn Guttmann
to present the reorganization proposal to the full Council.
Ms. Guttmann reviewed the request to contract with three facilitators to
conduct two all-day retreats for Public Works Department staff. Purpose of
the workshops would be to define organizational structure, tasks, staffing,
resources, space and equipment. She explained the proposed approach to
involve a majority of the staff in collaborative and participative problem
solving both collectively and in small groups led by facilitators. Ms.
Guttmann indicated that the reorganization plan is needed to solve a number
of problems caused by increased work load, inadequate number of staff, lack
of distinction between routine and short and long-term projects, lack of
clearly defined project management responsibilities and systems, and
cumbersome intra- and inter-departmental assignments due to current
workload of each individual. Council President Stredicke asked for cost and
location of the retreats. Ms. Guttmann reported that the first meeting would
be held on March 3 at Battelle Institute since that facility contains sufficient
breakout rooms. Funds are available in salary accounts in the Public Works
budget, and would be spent for use of the facility, facilitators fees, and lunch
for participants. Interim meetings will be held, followed by a second
workshop on March 21. Councilman Stredicke indicated preference for use
of the Senior Center at no cost. Scheduling problems were pointed out for
use of that facility on short notice. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED

under consideration. For that reason, a second appeal period requiring
payment of a fee was set upon issuance of the second report on 2/14/89 to
give appeal rights to all parties.
Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11 th Place, Renton, indicated his opinion that the
latest appeal filed by Good Shepherd applies to only the hearing examiner's
reconsidered recommendation, dated 2/14/89. It was Councilwoman
Mathews' opinion that the original appeal filed by Good Shepherd was to
remain open when Council referred the matter to the hearing examiner for
reconsideration and response back. *MOTION CARRIED.

Group Home Rezone 1024 Monroe Avenue NE, Renton, which stated that criticism of neighbors

SPECIAL The 1988 Safety Incentive Award, an engraved plaque awarded each year to
PRESENTATION the City department with the most improved safety record, was presented to
Parks: 1988 Safety the Parks and Recreation Department by Personnel Director Ruben Nieto.
Incentive Award Parks Superintendent Sam Chastain credited the 50% improvement to efforts
of field personnel who are very cognizant of the importance of the safety
now program.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Appeal: Good Shepherd in accordance with State and local laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Group Home Rezone hearing to consider appeals of the Good Shepherd of Washington requests for
(Olympia Avenue NE), rezone from R-1 to G-1, conditional use permit and two-lot short plat of
R-025-88 property located in the 1000 block of Olympia Avenue NE, south of NE 10th
Place. The applicant plans to develop the site as a group home for six
developmentally disabled young adults. An appeal of the Hearing Examiner's
decision on the short plat and conditional use permit was filed by Good
Shepherd on 10/20/88; the site plan and mitigation were remanded back to
the Hearing Examiner for further review by the City Council on 12/12/88
(appeal of the short plat was withdrawn); the Examiner rendered his decision
on 2/14/89; and on 3/6/89 an appeal of the rezone was filed by Neighbors
for R-1 Preservation and an appeal of mitigating conditions was filed by
Good Shepherd. Correspondence was entered from Barbara J. Coster, staff
attorney for Washington Protection and Advocacy System, 1401 East
Jefferson, Suite 506, Seattle, urging that the City not discriminate against
developmentally disabled persons by requiring site improvements not imposed
on other individuals.
Senior Planner Lenora Blauman identified the subject site on display maps
and exhibits: City Comprehensive Land Use Plan, City Zoning Map, original
site plan for the proposal, revised site plan, and landscaping plan. Referring
to a chronology and chart reflecting original and revised conditions, Ms.
Blauman described changes made to the proposal through the land use review
process, beginning with issuance of a mitigated declaration of environmental
non-significance (DNS) by the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) on
5/4/88. She advised that the current appeal filed by Good Shepherd requests
that:
1) the 20-year fence maintenance bond be eliminated;
2) the air conditioning requirement be eliminated and replaced by increased
plantings on the western facade;
3) a landscaping maintenance bond be substituted for outdoor sprinklers;
4) fencing on the south and west be approved as proposed by Good
Shepherd instead of as recommended by staff along the south and west
7q
March 20. 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 74
property lines. Ms. Blauman clarified that the Examiner had allowed the
substitutions outlined in conditions #1 and #2.
Regarding the question of timeliness of the appeal of the rezone filed on
3/6/89 by Neighbors for R-1 Preservation, City Attorney Warren advised that
because the Council is the ultimate decision-making authority on any rezone,
it can review the merits of a zone change at any time before the final
decision is made. He then explained limited grounds upon which Council can
reject a rezone. Upon Council inquiry, it was reported that the Legislature is
now considering a bill which would preempt cities in zoning for group homes
and limit the authority of the local community to issues related to
overconcentration of uses in a given area.
Keith Dearborn, Ferguson & Burdell, 29th floor, One Union Square, Seattle,
-�- representing Good Shepherd of Washington, discussed the four conditions
outlined in the appeal. He stated that. 1) the maintenance bond for fencing
is acceptable if it is a performance bond in the form of insurance; 2) the
increased plantings on the western facade are acceptable in lieu of air
conditioning, which was originally imposed for noise containment and was
felt to be discriminatory; 3) the landscaping maintenance bond is favored
over an outdoor sprinkling system; however, if a sprinkling system is
required, the applicant requests that it be limited to the front and side yards
only due to prohibitive cost. Additionally, Mr. Dearborn pointed out that the
Council had eliminated the requirement of a sprinkling system at the NE 19th
Street group home site in exchange for a landscape maintenance bond. 4) In
response to the issue of fencing, Mr. Dearborn submitted a site plan
illustrating proposed landscaping and the applicant's preference for location
of fencing around the building envelope on the site, and a design drawing for
the proposed six-foot acoustical fence favored in lieu of a brick wall. He
advised that in response to concerns about noise, the lot has been reshaped to
a square, the home has been moved 65 feet further away from the north
property line for a total of 85 feet, and the single story home will be
constructed with double paned windows and thick insulated walls. Mr.
Dearborn discussed the rationale for relocation of the acoustical fence
recommended by acoustical consultants inside the south and north property
lines to enhance noise mitigation and to save existing large trees on the south
property line.
Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Dearborn indicated that the applicant does not
plan to fence the driveway area to muffle noise from cars and vans. Council
questioned the authority for staff to require a split log or chain link fence
along the north and south site perimeters in addition to the acoustical fencing
around the building envelope proposed by the applicant. Ms. Blauman
indicated that the log or chain link fence was suggested to the hearing
examiner in response to the proponent's appeal of 10/20/88; however, the
condition was not included in the examiner's recommendation. Council
concern was expressed regarding reduction of the building envelope and
whether sufficient area remains to meet recreational needs of residents. It
was pointed out that residents will be in wheelchairs, and although there is
no intent to preclude residents from using outside areas, organized amenities
will be provided within the building envelope. Regarding maintenance of the
remainder of the lot to the north, Mr. Dearborn gave assurances by the pastor
of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church that the church will continue to maintain
the property as it has done in the past.
Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11th Place, Renton, representing Neighbors for R-1
Preservation (N4R1), reviewed the chronology of the application, and
indicated opposition to the revised conditions imposed by the hearing
examiner on 2/14/89. He expressed the opinion of neighbors that the
proposal is incompatible in a single family neighborhood and the revised
conditions so weaken mitigation of the potential adverse impacts that the
entire proposal should be reconsidered by the ERC. Mr. Evans compared
conditions imposed by the hearing examiner in October to those recently
imposed in the 2/14/89 decision, and objected to substitution of trees in
place of air conditioning, lawn and low ground cover instead of trees on the
north facade, maintenance bond instead of automatic irrigation system, and
deletion of the masonry wall along the length of the north property line.
Regarding fencing in the driveway area, Mr. Evans pointed out that
hydraulic lift gates on the vans used by Good Shepherd are exceptionally
noisy. Also noted was failure of the applicant's acoustical engineer to assess
the effect of noise from unscheduled fire alarm drills, day or night, which
are required for group homes by the State.
Discussion was held regarding timeliness of the rezone appeal submitted by
N4R1 on 3/6/89. Councilwoman Mathews explained that although the appeal
075
March 20, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 75
was not filed within the appropriate time period for the rezone which expired
on 10/20/88, Council has the authority to consider all testimony at this time
on the merits of the rezone or potential environmental impacts of the
proposal. She explained that only the conditions of the conditional use
permit along with a revised site plan were remanded to the hearing examiner
for further review; the recommendations of the hearing examiner for the
rezone had not been appealed and the appeal on the short plat had been
withdrawn by Good Shepherd. Responding to Mr. Evans' request for a
refund of the $75 appeal fee, Ms. Mathews felt that a refund would be
appropriate.
Thomas L. Dickson, 4100 First Interstate Center, Seattle, attorney for
Neighbors for R-1 Preservation, pointed out that a dialogue is currently
going on between the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the U. S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regarding First
Amendment issues of separation of church and state regarding management
of the group home. He felt that until these issues are resolved, the project
should not be approved. Referencing the mitigated DNS issued 5/88 by the
ERC, Mr. Dickson indicated that these mitigating conditions were imposed
instead of requiring the applicant to prepare an environmental impact
statement (EIS), and those conditions should be met. He felt that
recommendations for reshaping the lot and moving the home further south
were not new since they were imposed originally by both the ERC and the
hearing examiner, and compliance by the applicant with those conditions does
not justify deletion of other environmental mitigating conditions. Council
clarified that the matter was remanded to allow limited review by the
examiner of the revised site plan which was new information not previously
reviewed. Mr. Dickson contended that all aspects of the application were
subject to reconsideration by the examiner, and therefore, the rezone appeal
filed by his client should be considered by Council. He also felt that any
changes in the site plan should have been reconsidered by the ERC to
determine if previously identified environmental impacts were adequately
mitigated by revisions to the site plan. Mr. Dickson concluded by urging
Council to reject the rezone and conditional use permit, and allow the
neighborhood to remain as it is.
Council discussion was held regarding the authority of the Council and the
ERC. City Attorney Warren explained that the ERC makes a determination
as to whether an EIS is necessary, and that determination is appealable to the
hearing examiner. Council has the obligation to consider both the merits of
the proposal and any mitigation requirements by taking public testimony.
Citing recent court of appeals case, Mr. Warren stated that Council may not
abrogate its responsibility for considering environmental impacts and ensuring
that any conditions imposed to mitigate environmental consequences are
closely tailored to remedy those consequences. Responding to Mr. Dickson's
comment that the record contains conflicting citations, Mr. Warren affirmed
that the aforementioned court case is the current status of the law. Ms.
Blauman clarified that the initial recommendation by the ERC for a masonry
wall was for sound mitigation; relocation of the acoustic fence on the site was
the recommendation of the applicant's acoustical engineer.
RECESS MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. CARRIED. Time: 9:25 p.m.
Council reconvened at 9:33 p.m.; roll was called; all members were present
except Hughes, previously excused.
PUBLIC HEARING Audience comment was invited. Versie Vaupel, P.O. Box 755, Renton, asked
(Continued) that public funds not be expended on the project until the constitutional issue
of separation of church and state has been resolved.
Wendy Weaver, Washington Protection and Advocacy System, 1401 East
Jefferson, Suite 506, Seattle, indicated concern that mitigation measures are
discriminatory to disabled persons. She explained desire of residents to be
part of the community by living in a residential home rather than being
placed in an institution.
Shelda Richardson, 3407 NE 10th Place, Renton, clarified that neighbors have
no animosity towards handicapped individuals but they have concerns
regarding noise as a result of negative reports from residents living next to a
group home in Tualatin, Oregon. Upon Council inquiry, Mrs. Richardson
responded that there is no fence separating the home in Oregon from
adjacent residents.
Council requested information regarding total public funding for the project.
Housing Coordinator John Morris reported that funds have been earmarked in
i ,
March 20, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Paste 76
the amount of $21,947 from 1988 block grant funds, $175,000 from HUD
funds, and $29,289 to be shared with the group home site on NE 19th Street
from 1989 block grant funds.
City Attorney Warren was asked for his opinion on the issue of separation of
church and state discussed by Mr. Dickson and Mrs. Vaupel. Mr. Warren
indicated his understanding that the corporation which will be building and
operating the home is a non-profit corporation separated from the church,
and display of religious symbols in the home is a maintenance rather than a
funding issue.
Referring to concerns by neighbors regarding changes in mitigating
8 g g
conditions, Mr. Dearborn clarified that the substitute conditions still meet the
goal of mitigating noise but at less expense to the applicant. He circulated a
notebook showing diagrams and photographs of existing wood or chain link
fences in the adjacent area, and advised that the applicant's acoustic fence
will meet or exceed existing standards in the neighborhood. Referencing
modified conditions, Mr. Dearborn pointed out that the applicant has
attempted to meet all recommendations including preservation of existing
mature trees on the site and relocating the house to the south away from
existing residences. Additionally, he pointed out that traffic generated from
the proposal will be much less than trips generated from four single family
homes, the potential number allowed on the site if it retains R-1 zoning.
Responding to concerns about noise, Mr. Dearborn advised that there have
been no complaints about the 25 group homes in King County nor from the
other eight homes in Tualatin, Oregon operated by Good Shepherd. He
explained that environmental conditions were not imposed on Oregon group
home developments because the State of Oregon has no environmental law
and has preempted local jurisdictions in matters of zoning for group homes.
Olympe Toman, 3423 NE 10th Place, Renton, expressed concern that a rezone
to G-1 would set a precedent for subsequent rezones, and she requested
retention of R-1 zoning in the area to protect the quality of life for existing
residents.
Ralph Evans clarified that the conditions for irrigation and landscaping were
required by the ERC because they are mandatory Code requirements of the
G-1 zone. He noted that the vans to be used by Good Shepherd generate
noise from the hydraulic lifts and from motors when left running by drivers.
In addition, the width of Olympia Avenue NE is narrow and cars already
have difficulty passing in opposite directions. Regarding the masonry wall,
Mr. Evans clarified that the condition was imposed by the ERC, and
residents had expressed doubts all along that a wall or fence would contain
noise.
Linda Fredell, 3315 NE 10th Place, Renton, indicated that her family has
supported Special Olympics for the developmentally disabled for many years;
however, she was concerned with the high cost of the group home and felt
the funds could be better spent to help a larger number of disabled people.
Clara Mayes, 1056 Olympia Avenue NE, 37-year resident in the
neighborhood, indicated that residents have worked hard for their retirement
in a quiet neighborhood. She expressed concern with the precedent this
development will establish.
Wendy Weaver, Washington Protection and Advocacy System, address above,
supported equal rights for the six residents of the group home to live in a
residential neighborhood.
Goma Allen, 3406 NE 1 l th Street, Renton, stated that although she is-no-f
against the handicapped, she objected to them being in the neighborhood
since most existing residents are older.
i
Lewis Yehudi, 1018 Pierce Court NE, Renton, questioned traffic generation J
statistics for the proposal. Ms. Bauman explained that the Institute of Traffic
Engineers establishes standard trip generation rates which are 10 trips per day
per residence in a single family zone or 40 potential trips for the property-if
developed as R-1, and 14 trips per day from the group home developed in a
G-1 zone. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY TRIMM, COUNCIL

Citizen Comment: Legislative House Bill 1645 which prohibits location of car dealerships within
Blaylock - Automobile 15 miles of each other since the restriction may represent substantial loss of

Planning and Planning and Development Committee Chairman Reed presented a report
Development Committee indicating that the committee met on 3/16/89 to consider the appeal of the
Appeal: Renton Honda hearing examiner's decision, dated 1/4/89 on the Renton Honda site approval
Site Approval, SA-064-88 to construct a two-story automobile dealership on the northwest corner of
Grady Way and Rainier Avenue South. The hearing examiner approved the
site with numerous conditions. The applicant appeals from condition #5
which prohibited the use of any outdoor public address system.
The committee found that the hearing examiner committed a substantial error
of fact in concluding there would be a nuisance from noise spillover, while
failing to consider provisions which may mitigate the volume of the public
address system (similar to the requirements imposed on the lighting) to make
it non-intrusive to adjacent property owners.
The committee recommended to the Council that the decision of the hearing
examiner be revised, and that staff develop an acceptable noise mitigation
program. Further, the committee recommended the Council require that staff
monitor the program for 90 days after installation to determine whether the
program may continue, be altered, or be terminated. Finally, the committee
recommended the Council require that installation of the public address
system be conditioned upon obtaining an occupancy permit. MOVED BY

SPECIAL Finance Director Dan Clements introduced Iwen Wang, Utilities Accounting
PRESENTATION Supervisor, who presented a brief review of the Solid Waste Rate Study and
Finance: Solid Waste Rate discussed the four cost allocation policies for collection of garbage,
Study, (Rainier Disposal, recyclables (paper, cans and bottles), and yard waste. Ms. Wang reported
CAG-021-89) efforts by staff to promote a waste collection program which reduces the
amount of solid waste generated by households and businesses and provides
incentives to recycle. With expiration of the existing collection contract with
Rainier Disposal on 4/30/89, the new program will begin on May 1 and will
include collection for solid waste, recyclables, and yard waste as well as a
broad public information program to promote recycling in general. Three
contractors responded to the City's call for proposals, and Rainier Disposal
was selected as the contractor.
Financial policies recommended by staff were outlined: 1) Rate Leveling -
Moderate major first year start-up costs by borrowing $400,000 during 1989-
90 to reduce overall 1989 rate increases from 27% to 16%. 2) Operating
Contingency - Maintain $50,000 working capital in 1989-90, increase to 2%
of operating expenses in 1991. 3) Recycling Incentives - Base 1989 rate
increase on cost of service, and provide discounts for smaller can sizes in
1990.
Ms. Wang discussed staff recommendations for cost allocation policies as
follows: 1) Senior Rate - Continue $1 rate with any reviews made part of
the 1990 budget; 2) Recycling Program - Allocate costs to all customers based
on municipal solid waste generated; 3) Yard Waste Program - Allocate costs
to all customers based on municipal solid waste generated; 4) Public Program
and Customer Services - Allocate costs to all customers based on municipal
solid waste.
Renton's proposed residential and commercial solid waste rates were
compared with rates charged by other cities with recycling programs. At
$9.24 per month for two-can residential collection and $35.87 for six-yard
commercial collection, Renton's proposed 1989 rates will be lower than those
charged by cities of Bellevue, Olympia or Seattle. The 1989-90 rate for one
can is proposed at $7.25, a minimal increase from the existing rate of $7.22.
To encourage recycling, the administration is recommending discounts for
smaller garbage receptacles and greater rate increase for additional cans
collected.
Upon Council inquiry, Ms. Wang responded that most commercial customers
generate little garbage, dump fees are included for 20-yard and larger
capacity dumpsters, and the volume of one commercial yard use is equal to
one to two residential cans.
Utilities Committee Chairman Keolker-Wheeler indicated that following a
presentation by Ms. Wang on 4/13, the Committee concurred with the policy
statement contained on page four of the Solid Waste Rate Study. Therefore,
April 17 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 104
it was MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY STREDICKE,
COUNCIL ADOPT PAGE FOUR OF THE STUDY AS THE FORMAL
POLICY STATEMENT AT THIS TIME. Council questioned equity of
allocating yard waste collection to apartment dwellers and commercial users.
It was noted that the difference in cost is negligible, and accounting systems
which monitor actual use by consumers are cumbersome to operate.
MOTION CARRIED. (First reading of ordinance on page 109.)
PROCLAMATIONS A proclamation by Mayor Clymer declared April 15 through 23, 1989, as

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Vacation: VAC-98-001, in accordance with local and State law, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Bronson Way North, hearing to consider the petition submitted by RaMac, Inc., represented by
RaMac, Inc. Dan Shane, for vacation of a portion of Bronson Way lying south of NE 3rd
Street and west of Monterey Drive NE. Correspondence was read from Jack
Crumley representing Public Works Director Lynn Guttmann indicating that
in place of the vacated roadway, the petitioner is requesting that public
access be provided via an easement to the existing Monterey Terrace
Apartments and proposed new apartments to be constructed by RaMac, Inc.
The current entrance to Monterey Terrace Apartments is located on NE 3rd
Street, 100 feet west of the signal at Monterey Drive NE. Since vehicles
must access the high-volume arterial, a hazardous traffic situation is created
and approximately 20 accidents have occurred within the past three years.
To provide safer access for the apartments, staff has recommended that
traffic be directed east via a new road to intersect with Monterey Drive NE
and then north to the signalized intersection at NE 3rd Street. The letter
asked that comment be reserved on the future need for the right-of-way on
Bronson until the City-Wide Arterial Study is complete.
Correspondence was read from Public Works Director Lynn Guttmann,
Chairman of the Board of Public Works, recommending approval of the
requested street vacation subject to the following conditions:
1) Approval of vacation except that portion 50-feet from the centerline of
NE 3rd/NE 4th and allow ingress/egress to Shari's Restaurant property
and the apartment building;
2) Retention by city of all existing easements for utilities, both private and
public;
3) Submission of document by petitioner that shows evidence Puget Power
has been granted an easement for their needs;
4) Submission of document that grants permanent access along the easement
to the Fanning property on the southwest corner of the area;
I
105
April 17, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 105
5) Execution of contract between petitioner and city granting purchase
rights for future right-of-way at original purchase price by Mr. Shane,
plus CPI and improvement costs;
6) Inclusion of secondary emergency access in the easement to property to
the south occupied by the restaurant and motel;
7) Submission of property survey.
The Board recommended that a "C" classification be imposed on the property
since abutting property owners could have substantial monetary gain from
acquisition of the right-of-way. The petitioner must submit an appraisal in
writing by a M.A.I. to the Public Works Director.
Referring to a vicinity map and slides of the area, Program Development
Coordinator John Adamson designated the location of the subject site and
provided the following summary:
1) The portion of Bronson Way proposed for vacation is 60-feet wide; is
unplatted; and contains approximately 18,400 square feet.
2) Easements are required by Utility Engineering, Storm Water Utility
Engineering, and Traffic Engineering.
3) Although the Police Department and Field Maintenance Division have no
objection to the vacation, the Planning Division and Fire Department
recommend denial of the request since this portion of Bronson is
required for secondary access to the Silver Cloud Hotel.
4) Both U. S. West Communications and Puget Power require easements;
Washington Natural Gas has no facilities in the area.
Audience comment was invited. Mr. B. Duchesneau, 151 Monterey Drive,
Renton, asked for clarification of the comment regarding property values.
Mr. Adamson explained that the vacated right-of-way represents substantial
monetary gain to the petitioners; however, residential property values would
not be affected.
Robert Moore, Monterey Place, Renton, and Marcus Fitterer, 169 Monterey
Drive, Renton, requested clarification of the proposed access route from the
apartments, pointed out location of utility pole in the easement area, and
expressed preference for access to be directed to the south rather than to
Monterey Drive. Mr. Adamson designated the proposed location of the road
which will intersect with Monterey Drive NE.
Joan Fanning, owner of 8-unit Monterey Apartments, located west of the
petitioner's apartment complex, concurred with the street vacation and the
proposed access road to Monterey Drive NE. She asked whether as an
abutting property owner, she would be required to pay for the vacated
property and improve and maintain the road; and indicated that it is not to
her advantage to acquire the right-of-way. Referring to Board of Public
Works recommendation No. 4 above, Mr. Adamson advised Mrs. Fanning to
negotiate an agreement with Mr. Shane to determine responsibility for
maintenance and improvement of the roadway.
Enayat Aziz, Aziz Engineering, P.O. Box 2758, Redmond, engineer for the
petitioner, distributed colored vicinity maps of the area and explained the
purpose of the request to provide better access to the apartments Mr. Shane
plans to build. He noted that the existing right-of-way has served as a
private parking lot in the past and not as a public transportation access. Mr.
Aziz discussed existing and proposed peak hour traffic trip generation in the
area, and advised that although residents of Monterey Terrace prefer that
access be routed from the apartments to the south, staff has recommended the
proposal outlined above. Upon inquiry by Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler,
Mr. Aziz stated that the emergency access which extends southerly about
250-300 feet to serve the Silver Cloud Hotel has a grade of about 8% and is
paved as part of the overall hotel development plan.
Dan Shane, P.O. Box 653, Renton, indicated that the subject vacation request
is separate from the site plan for the hotel, restaurant and office building
development and emergency access from the north was required as a
condition of approval of that project. He was amenable to desires of
adjacent residents regarding the access route. Upon inquiry by
Councilwoman Mathews, Mr. Adamson advised that the Arterial Street Study
should be completed by this fall. Ms. Mathews expressed concern that
because the proposed rezone of property to the east has not yet been
reviewed by the hearing examiner, the vacation request is premature.
Dennis Lensegrav, Puget Power Business Office, Renton, distributed maps of
the area designating location of distribution power lines. He advised that
April 17, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 106
Puget Power has an operating franchise within the vacation area, and asked
that if the vacation is approved, language be included in the ordinance to
protect operating rights for power transmission lines.

King County Boundary Review Board approved the annexation on 3/11/89.

COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Plannine and Planning and Development Committee Chairman Reed presented a report
Develonment Committee regarding the Dan Swanson appeal of preliminary plat PP-082-88. The
Appeal: Swanson subject property is located at NE 13th Place and Blaine Avenue NE. The
Preliminary Plat, applicant seeks approval to subdivide 2.18 acres into nine single family
PP-082-88 residential lots. The hearing examiner recommended approval of the
proposed nine-lot preliminary plat subject to two conditions. The applicant
appealed only one of those conditions - that applicant make off-site
improvements to Blaine Avenue NE to city access standards.
The Committee found that full street improvements are not necessary for this
nine-lot plat. However, the cumulative effect of development in this area
may require full street improvements in the future.
The Committee did find that the applicant should be required to improve
Blaine Avenue NE (north of applicant's north property line to NE 16th) with
a 2-inch asphalt overlay and install striping to provide a four-foot walkway l
along the east side of Blaine Avenue NE. Further, that "No Parking" signs be
placed on the east side of the street. However, because the City of Renton
has need for future installation of utilities along Blaine Avenue NE, and the
extent of those needs has not yet been determined, this applicant should not
be required to make the improvements to Blaine Avenue NE at this time.
Rather, the applicant should be required to post a bond to cover the cost of
the 2-inch asphalt overlay and the striping to ensure that the work will be
done when the City installs utilities.
Insofar as the hearing examiner's recommendation is inconsistent with this
report, the Committee recommended that the hearing examiner's
recommendation of November 28, 1988, be modified.

Audience comment was invited. Frank Tibbles, 1408 Blaine Avenue NE,
Renton, opposed the committee report and supported requirement for full
improvement of Blaine Avenue NE by the developer. He noted potential use
of the street by 52 homes in the adjacent area, and felt that an 18-foot or
less easement for fire access would be inadequate. Additionally, Mr. Tibbles
pointed out that a requirement for full street improvements was imposed on
the access to the Prellwitz plat to the east. Mr. Reed clarified that based on
the number of lots, the Committee felt that the subject plat did not warrant
full off-site street improvements as required on the Prellwitz preliminary plat
which is pending with those conditions imposed. He also noted that full
width street improvements will be installed on the main road within the
subject plat, with the narrower width allowed for secondary access off-site.

Benefit District (TBD) directed staff to continue negotiations to form a TBD in the Valley. MOVED

COMMITTEE REPORT. *See motion carried below.
Attachment to the report was discussed which stated that pages 2 and 3 were
inadvertently left out of a South County TBD report distributed to Council
members on 4/3/89 and referred to Transportation Committee. The two
pages were attached along with a letter of explanation from John Adamson,
Program Development Coordinator. Mr. Adamson clarified that neither
widening nor signalization of Lake Washington Boulevard is contemplated in
the future with the exception of possibly adding a left turn bay to certain
intersections. He corrected his letter to change reference to left turn "lanes"
to "pockets" on the third to last line, and delete the phrase "unless they are
replaced by signals." on the last line of the letter to assure residents
concerned about traffic that additional lanes or traffic signals are not being
installed on Lake Washington Boulevard. Mr. Igelmund objected to any plans
to replace existing stop signs on Lake Washington Boulevard with traffic
signals since it would encourage higher volume of commuter traffic and
violate terms of the E & H Properties court case settlement with Kennydale
homeowners. He also asked that any changes to Lake Washington Boulevard
be reviewed at a public hearing. Transportation Committee Chair Mathews
concurred in the request, and assured that there is no intent to change any
agreement with the neighborhood. However, she noted that by having an
approved priority listing for street projects, the City will be eligible for State
funds. *MOTION CARRIED.

Disposal Collection half-can rate as an incentive for consumers who reduce the amount of their

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Annexation: Renton 91 in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
hearing to consider the Renton 91 75% annexation petition and concurrent
rezone. The proposal is for annexation of six parcels of property totalling
approximately 14.42 acres located east of the existing Renton corporate limits
in the vicinity of the 11000 block of SE 76th Street (north of the NE 44th
Street interchange). Concurrent rezone of 12.39 acres to R-1, single family
residential, and 2.03 acres to B-1, business, zone (Travelers Inn Motel site) is
recommended by staff. The annexation proponent has also applied for a
rezone of 4.30 acres in the annexation scope to R-3, multifamily residential
zone, which will be reviewed separately by the Hearing Examiner. If
approved by the Examiner, the rezone to R-3 will be reviewed again by
Council at the second of two required hearings on this matter.
Referring to a vicinity map of the area, Planning Manager Larry Springer
designated the location of the subject site which is currently zoned B-C
(community business), RM-1800 (high density multifamily) and RS-9600
(single family residential) in King County, and described the petitioner's
intent to develop the 4.30 acres proposed for R-3 zoning into an 82-unit
multifamily residential complex. He advised that signatures on the petition
constitute 4.0°x6 of the total assessed valuation within the proposed annexation
area; however, a covenant to annex signed by Shoreview Development, Inc.
May 1, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 120
represents 78.6% of the total assessed valuation, thereby increasing the total
percentage of signatures to 82.6%. The City's Comprehensive Plan designates
the subject site as suitable for commercial and low density multifamily
development. The site is currently developed with a motel and one single
family home. City staff has reviewed the proposal and indicates that the City
is currently providing water service to the site. Sewer service is jointly
provided by the City and King County Water District #107.
Mr. Springer indicated that in response to opposition expressed by two
property owners at the 10% notice of intent meeting, June Huson and Martin
Seelig, the site plan of the Renton 91 apartments has been modified to
include fencing, landscape buffering, and other features to mitigate impact of
the project to Ms. Huson's home on lot #3. Staff has pointed out to Mr.
Seelig that the commercial use he proposes on lot #167 would not be
compatible with surrounding uses, land use plans, and available services.
Based upon the staff analysis, Mr. Springer recommended that Council
approve the 75% petition, require simultaneous imposition of B-1 zoning on
the Travelers Inn property and R-1 zoning on the remaining property, and
require assumption by the property owners of their proportional share of the
City's bonded indebtedness.
Audience comment was invited. Bob Johns, 701 5th Avenue, Suite 3600,
Seattle, representing the Seelig family, indicated opposition to the annexation
by his clients. He clarified that the Seeligs have already participated in a
local improvement district to extend water and sewer service by King County
District #107 to the site, and he feared that additional expense would be
incurred for those services if the property is annexed to the City. Mr. Johns
pointed out that the site has been zoned RM-1800, similar to the City's R-3
zone, for over 20 years, and costly studies for development of the site are
currently underway for submission of an application to King County for
multifamily use. He felt that the proposed development on the site would
serve as a buffer between single family and commercial uses, and urged that
the property be deleted from the annexation proposal. Upon Council inquiry,
City Attorney Warren indicated that King County District #107 and the City
have arrived at a joint service agreement whereby the district will continue to
serve the area. Councilwoman Mathews asked whether the Seeligs would be
willing to coordinate their project with the City while pursuing King County
approval. Mr. Johns indicated concurrence with the request.
Mr. Springer reaffirmed the staff recommendation to annex the entire area.
He pointed out that prior King County interlocal agreements on projects, i.e.
Liberty View, developing just outside the City boundaries have not been
successful. He also clarified that the City's R-3 zone would be compatible
with the existing King County zoning on the site, and a rezone could be
processed by the City's Hearing Examiner for timely Council review at the
second required public hearing on the zoning.
June Huson, 11030 SE 76th Street, Renton, representing herself and co-owner
Trina Hoof, requested that their property be deleted from the scope of the
annexation. She indicated that she has a King County business license for a
species plant business to afford her an avenue to buy supplies, and since she
is retired and on a limited income, she expressed concern with higher costs
associated with annexation. She questioned the requirement for annexing
properties to accept their share of the City's bonded indebtedness, and
pointed out that the City boundary is already imperfect.
Michael Martin, Axelrod Company, 520 Pike Tower, Suite 2300, Seattle,
annexation proponent, indicated that the rezone process began last September
for multifamily development on the northern portion of the site. He pointed
out existing development in the area, noted that the triangular parcel to the
west is zoned B-1, and designated the location of existing sewer and water
lines to the site.
Trina Hoof, 11030 SE 76th Street, Renton, co-owner of residential property
with June Huson, reiterated opposition to being included in the scope of the
annexation. She asked for clarification of comments regarding continuation
of service agreement with King County District #107 for properties annexing
in the area. Mr. Springer confirmed that service would continue with the
district per agreement with the City.

May 1, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 121
Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11 th Place, Renton, discussed imposition of R-1
zoning by Council prior to assignment of R-3 zoning by the Hearing
Examiner, and questioned whether the required waiting period between
rezone requests would be waived for this proposal. Mr. Springer advised that
the waiting period does not apply in this situation since the petitioner did not
apply for the R-1 zone.
Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Springer confirmed that 78% of the assessed
valuation in the annexation is represented by the Travelers Inn site, and
Council has encouraged annexation of properties contiguous to the City
boundaries in order to assure development to City standards. MOVED BY
TRIMM, SECONDED BY REED, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING. CARRIED. Moved by Stredicke, seconded by Mathews,
Council eliminate the Huson/Hoof and Seelig property from the annexation.*
Councilman Reed spoke against the motion since he recalled testimony by
Mr. Seelig at the 10% notice of intent meeting that he had no development
plans for his property. Reed also felt that property owners opposed to the
annexation would be more fully protected from development impact of
adjacent properties if they were in the City, instead of the County.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler had no objection to deletion of the
Huson/Hoof property but wanted assurance that the Seelig property would be
developed to City standards if eliminated from the annexation. Mr. Springer
concurred that execution of an interlocal agreement with King County was
possible to assure development standards are met, but it would be very time-
consuming to prepare and monitor. *Motion failed.
Moved by Reed, seconded by Trimm, Council concur in the recommendation
of the Planning Division to approve the annexation as presented. Motion
failed. To allow time for staff to meet with the Seeligs and reach agreement
on development standards for their property, it was MOVED BY

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
H & HR: 1990 in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Community Development hearing to consider the 1990 Community Development Block Grant Program.
Block Grant Program Housing Coordinator John Morris introduced Dixon Long, 131 Garden
Avenue N., Renton, Chairman of the Housing and Human Resources
Citizens' Advisory Committee. Mr. Long discussed the Committee's policy
recommendations for allocation of the 1990 passthrough block grant funds,
noting an emphasis on programs to address issues of family violence,
childcare, housing and health care for low-income persons. He indicated that
the City of Renton qualifies for an estimated $182,866 in 1990 King County
Consortium CDBG pass-through funds available January 1, 1990, including
allocations of $27,430 for public (human) service activities, $10,973 for
planning and administration activities, no funds for the housing repair loan
fund since Renton will be participating in King County's housing repair
programs instead, and $2,400 to the AMPL program loan fund. The
Advisory Committee has recommended acceptance of the available pass-
through funds.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler questioned policy of accepting pass-through
funds rather than competing with other cities for program funding, asked
whether childcare funding is limited to low-income persons, and questioned
whether the program will continue or be phased out. Mr. Long advised that
due to backlog and lengthy delays involved in competing for funds,
acceptance of pass-through funding has been the preferred policy; under
federal guidelines, all recipients for childcare assistance must be low-income;
and, hopefully, governmental support for the program will continue. It was
suggested that the King County Human Services Roundtable serve as support
for continued block grant funding.
Audience comment was invited. Marge Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue N.,
Renton, indicated support for the program for needy residents, but urged that
applicants be more closely screened for income eligibility to prevent residents
who are not low-income from receiving yard care services. Mr. Morris
clarified that the neighborhood clean-up program is available to all residents
in the strategy area regardless of income; an honor system is used when
interviewing applicants for other services.
May 1 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 122
Joan Walker, 1433 Monterey Avenue NE, Renton, pointed out value to the
neighborhoods when block grant funds are used to clean up unattractive or
dangerous houses and yards regardless of income of owner.
Ralph Evans, 3306 NE I 1 th Place, Renton, asked whether organizations must
reapply each year for extended funding. Mr. Morris indicated that
reapplication is required even for phased projects.
MOVED BY REED, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL CLOSE THE
PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (Community Services Committee report on
this matter follows.)
Community Services Community Services Committee Chairman Reed presented a report regarding
Committee the 1990 Community Development Block Grant Program. On April 25, 1989,
H & HR: 1990 the Community Services Committee met with the Housing and Human
Community Development Resources Citizens Advisory Committee to review its recommendations for

Citizen Comment: Evans responded to Versie Vaupel's letter to Mayor Clymer regarding HUD
- Good Shepherd HUD funding. Ms. Vaupel had requested that no funds be paid to Good Shepherd

HUD until an operating policy statement meeting ACLU approval is received
from Good Shepherd.

Appeal: Leady Short Plat, Planning and Development Committee Chairman Reed presented a report
Site Approval and regarding the appeal filed on the Chris Leady conditional use permit, site
Conditional Use Permit, approval, and short plat located at 4546 NE Sunset Boulevard to allow
Sh. Pl. SA and CU-052- development of a mini-storage warehouse. The Committee met on 4/20/89 to
88 consider the matter.
The site plan portion of the applicant's request had been remanded to the
hearing examiner by the City Council for further consideration of issues
concerning aquifer protection, a surface drainage collection and monitoring
system, traffic impacts, landscaping, and setbacks. The hearing examiner
approved the short plat and site plan subject to numerous conditions. The
applicant appealed from decision #1 approving the short plat on the condition
that lots #1 and #2 of the plat have a shared driveway, and that only one
driveway should intersect Sunset Boulevard North to serve both parcels. The
applicant also appealed a decision conditioning the site plan approval on the
following condition:
"13. All floor drains and storm water drains shall be routed to the
sanitary sewer system."
With respect to the condition imposed on approval for the short plat, the
committee found that the hearing examiner committed a substantial error of
fact in concluding that the applicant had modified its submission to provide
for only one driveway for lots #1 and #2 intersecting Sunset Boulevard. The
hearing examiner misunderstood the applicant's testimony. The applicant is
willing to impose cross-easements between lots #1 and #2 as a condition of
the site plan approval. The applicant has further testified that he will ensure
the existence of a second emergency access for the fire department to lot #1.
The committee believes that the question of access to lot #2 should more
properly be addressed at the time of the site plan approval on lot #2.
As to condition #13 recited above, the committee finds that the hearing
examiner committed a substantial error of law in finding that the storm water
run-off could be routed to the sanitary sewer system. The staff has
confirmed that Metro prohibits routing storm drainage into the sanitary sewer
system and, therefore, that portion of condition #13 conditioning approval on
routing storm water to the sanitary sewer system is in error.
The Planning and Development Committee recommended to the City Council
that the applicant's appeal be granted conditioned upon the granting of cross-
easements between lots #1 and 02, and the applicant ensuring the continued
existence of z second emergency access for the fire department to lot #1.
Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Reed explained that the hearing examiner's
concerns regarding possible leakage of hazardous materials from the storage
units into the drainage system have been addressed by the applicant through
design and monitoring of a drainage collection facility. MOVED BY REED,

CAG: 89-021, Rainier with the provisions that have been presented by the Administration for
Disposal, Solid Waste negotiation between the City of Renton and Rainier Disposal, Inc. for a
Management Program comprehensive solid waste management program for the citizens of Renton.
The provisions include:
I. The term of the contract shall be for four years, eight months, beginning
May 1, 1989, and ending December 31, 1993.
2. The program shall be three-pronged, offering curbside pickup of solid
waste (MSW), recyclables (newspaper; uncoated mixed paper, and glass
bottles and metal and aluminum food and beverage containers) and yard
waste.
12E
May 1. 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 125
3. Collection for MSW and recyclables will be weekly while yard waste
collection will be bi-weekly during the months of April-November and
monthly during the months of December-March. The recycling and yard
waste programs will begin on August 7, 1989. This implementation date
will allow the staff adequate time to complete a public awareness
campaign to educate the citizens of Renton to the program changes and
for the contractor to order necessary equipment.
4. Each eligible household (single family and duplex) shall receive three
bins for the recyclable materials and a 90-gallon toter for the yard waste
material. Each household will be responsible for providing their own
garbage container for solid waste. A ten-gallon galvanized steel
container (mini-can) purchased on the open market by the citizens will
be adopted into the program in 1990. This will provide a recycling
incentive for households who wish to lower their monthly solid waste
fee.
5. The contractor will insure that yard waste and recyclable materials are
disposed of in a manner other than landfilling.
6. The contractor shall provide the City with comprehensive monthly
reports detailing all aspects of the program for staff records and analysis.
Additionally, a periodic audit will be used to verify tonnage.
The Utilities Committee recommended that Council authorize the Mayor and
City Clerk to sign the contract subject to approval by the City Attorney. The
Committee understands that actual consummation of contract negotiations
may necessitate a minor extension of the present contract. MOVED BY

May 15, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 137
PUBLIC HEARING Planning Manager Larry Springer reviewed background information for the
Annexation: Renton 91 Renton 91 75% annexation petition and concurrent rezone of approximately
14.42 acres located in the vicinity of the 11000 block of SE 76th Street (north
of the NE 44th Street I-405 interchange). A public hearing on the matter
was held by the City Council on May 1, 1989, public testimony was accepted,
and the hearing was closed. However, the decision to approve or deny the
proposal was tabled for two weeks to allow staff the opportunity to reach an
agreement on development standards with property owners currently pursuing
development permits through King County (Seelig and Shurguard). Mr.
Springer reported that one of the parcels has recently been sold, and he
suggested that Council may wish to reopen the hearing for additional
testimony from that property owner, the Shurguard Company. A map was
distributed designating ownership of all parcels in the annexation.
Referring to a display map, Mr. Springer described the proposal and
indicated proposed zoning recommended by the department of R-1, single
family residential, for 12.39 acres, and B-1, business, for the 2.03 acres on
which the Travelers Inn is built. Discussing utility service to the subject site,
Mr. Springer advised that the Seelig parcel has participated in a Water
District #107 sewer local improvement district and a City of Renton water
LID.
Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes reported meeting this date with
property owners and their attorneys and city staff. As a result of the
discussion, staff recommended that the Renton 91 property located in the
northern panhandle be separated from the remaining properties for
annexation at this time as Phase I. Phase II would include the Seelig
property, the Shurguard property, and the Travelers Inn site. The
Huson/Hoof residential lot is under consideration for deletion due to
opposition from owners. The City would need to obtain a stipulation or
agreement from Phase II property owners that no argument would be raised
as to insufficiency of signatures on the annexation petition at a later date
when city standards issues have been resolved. MOVED BY TRIMM,
SECONDED BY REED, COUNCIL TAKE THE MATTER FROM THE
TABLE. CARRIED. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY
KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING TO
ALLOW ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY. CARRIED.
Sally Clark, 1221 2nd Avenue, Seattle, attorney with Hillis, Clark, Martin and
Peterson, represented the Shurguard Capital Group, owner of the parcel
located south of SE 76th Street and north of the Travelers Inn site. She
indicated that Shurguard has owned the property since November, 1988, but
due to out-of-date King County ownership records, did not receive notice of
the annexation. Also, because there were no known City annexation
proposals in the area of the site at that time, Shurguard applied to King
County for approval of a mini-warehouse development. Ms. Clark pointed
out that although some projects developed in King County and annexed later
to the City have not been consistent with the City's development standards,
the Shurguard proposal basically meets the City's standards. She expressed
concern with changing jurisdictions at this point due to hardship from delays,
and supported the staff recommendation for separating and phasing the
annexation. Upon Council inquiry, Ms. Clark advised that restrictive
covenants on the property were imposed as a condition of providing water
service to the site. Mr. Springer clarified that property must be annexed
prior to provision of utility service or a notice of intent must be filed with
the King County Boundary Review Board to allow the City to provide service
outside its boundaries. He also noted that Renton requires mini-storage
facilities to be under one roof, a condition not required by King County.
Bob Johns, 701 5th Avenue, Seattle, attorney for the Seeligs, advised that his
clients have participated in an LID for sewer service from Water District
#107, and an LID for water service from the city in 1977. He pointed out
that at the time the Seeligs participated in the LIDs, the City allowed
extension of utility service to properties outside its boundaries; however,
those policies have since changed. Mr. Johns indicated that the Seeligs had
proceeded with application to King County for a multifamily development
based on the former policies.
Mike Martin, Axelrod Co., 520 Pike Tower, Suite 2300, Seattle, representing
Renton 91 Associates, asked that Council consider separating the Renton 91
parcel from the remaining properties to allow for timely completion of the
development. Mr. Martin indicated that if the rezone to R-3, pending before
the hearing examiner, is approved, a second rezone hearing for the Renton 91
site will be held by the Council at a later date.

CORRESPONDENCE Correspondence was read from City Clerk requesting Council approval of the
Vacation: VAC-88-002, appraisal for the Maple Avenue SW street vacation petitioned by Jack and
Priebe Margaret Priebe, VAC-002-88. Fees represent one-half appraised value as
set by City Council at public hearing on 8/1/88. (Matter removed from
Consent Agenda on 5/8/89.) Appraisal fees are as follows:
133
May 15. 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 139
Hollandsworth 1714 S.F. $2.50 $ 4,285.00 X 1/2 = $2,142.50
Ditty 2290 S.F. $5.00 $11,450.00 $5,725.00
Mathewson 1347 S.F. $5.00 $ 6,400.00 $3,200.00
Swain 3536 S.F. $5.50 $19,500.00 $9,750.00
Kameron Cayce, 405 S. 4th Street, Renton, attorney for the petitioners,
discussed the value of the Priebe property, now known as the Swain property.
He advised that the property is not needed for access since the City has
acquired footage on the other side of the street to create sufficient right-of-
way width, and no funds have been expended nor improvements made to the
property. Pointing out that the vacation will not enhance the commercial
value of the Priebe property, Mr. Cayce indicated that the Council has the
discretion of charging up to one-half of the appraised value instead of the
full one-half. He stated that over the past 30 years, Mr. Priebe, a
veterinarian, assisted the animal control officer and Police Department on
numerous occasions with injured and dead animals. Under the circumstances,
Mr. Cayce felt Council should recognize the service provided by Mr. Priebe
and set the value of the property at zero.
Council President Stredicke felt that the proper time to address the matter of
reducing the appraisal percentage was at the public hearing last August.
Public Works Director Lynn Guttmann reviewed background information of
the street vacation, and reported that during recent sale of animal hospital by
Priebes to Dr. Swain, it was discovered that a portion of the building
intruded into the right-of-way. The vacation was requested in order to clear
title to the property.
Mr. Cayce stated that he was advised that the proper time to raise the issue
of percentage of appraisal fee was at this time since that topic was not
discussed at the public hearing. Councilwomen Keolker-Wheeler and Nelson
felt that it was not fair to require the full one-half of the appraisal fee since
the problem had existed since the 1940's and was out of the Priebes' control.
Upon inquiry, Mr. Cayce advised that the other properties in the vacation are
set back and do not encroach into the right-of-way. Ms. Fontes pointed out
that now that the problem is known, potential buyers would be aware of the
encroachment, and if the vacation is not approved, the City may have the
right to require removal of the building. She also advised that Priebes are
adding square footage to their property which will increase the assessed value.
Mr. Cayce countered that all Priebes are getting is what they thought they
had in the first place. Mr. Stredicke felt that if one property is granted
relief, all should receive the same benefit. Ms. Keolker-Wheeler requested
further information as to whether the City has expended any funds on the
property to be vacated and to what extent. MOVED BY KEOLKER-

action be taken to make permanent improvements to the structure. The

early 1990; however, the schedule could change depending on project scope,

manager whose role reflects the "mission" of the organization, that is:
Utility Systems, Transportation Systems, Customer Service, Engineering
Services, and Maintenance Services.

City's utilities and transportation network. The reorganization also
reflects the emphasis on "customer services."
3. To initiate this substantial reorganization, two vacant managerial positions
will be restructured and filled using 1989 budgeted funds. The Utility
Systems Manager position and the Transportation Systems Manager
position will be advertised during the next three weeks. The positions
should be filled by July 1, 1989.
4. The supplemental budget will contain requests for four additional
positions which are key to the departmental reorganization. Those are:
Customer Services Manager, Engineering Services Manager, Customer
Services Supervisor and Records Management Supervisor.
5. Council acknowledged that hiring the initial two managers was the first
step towards implementation of the department's complete restructuring.

Development Committee the Victoria Hills Phase II final planned unit development. The Committee
PUD: Final, Victoria Hills was briefed by staff from the Departments of Public Works and Community
Phase II, FPUD-042-85 Development on the progress of the project since the Committee's last
briefing on 3/15/89. Fines of $500 have been collected from the developer
for violating the agreement for work hours. The Oversight Committee
approved a change on 4/28/89 to shift the intersection of Victoria Lane and
Victoria Way about 80 feet to the north to create a more workable street
grade. The number of units has remained the same at 174.
May 22, 1989 Renton Citv Council Minutes Page 148
The developer is behind in meeting his schedule for completing Phase I.
Interiors are not completed in six buildings scheduled for occupancy by
5/31/89. However, the development agreement does not require that the
interiors of any of the buildings in Phase I be finished prior to 01/15/90, or
even later in the event the Force Majeure clause in the contract is invoked
due to inclement weather or acts of God. Since a group of four buildings
scheduled for occupancy on 6/16/89 is still being framed, staff is concerned
that Phase I will not be completed on schedule. If Phase I is not completed
within six months of the date the contract was signed, the developer cannot
proceed to Phase II and the project will be deemed abandoned. The
developer would be charged $5,000 per building to finish those buildings
which are substantially complete.
Bonds for on-site work have been received; the off-site improvement bond
has not been submitted since the cost of electrical undergrounding is being
negotiated with the developer.
The Committee has gone on record as being concerned about the progress of
the project and completion of Phase I by the specified deadline. Staff has
been asked to monitor this project closely and report back to the Committee
next month. Information only.
Citizen Comment: Post - Council President Stredicke entered a letter from George Post, 1122 S. 27th
Victoria Hills Phase II Place, Renton, urging that Council require completion of the Phase I portion
FPUD-042-85 of the Victoria Hills FPUD before allowing Phase II to begin. At Mr.
Stredicke's request, a copy of the Planning and Development Committee
report on this matter will be sent to Mr. Post.
Utilities Committee Utilities Committee Chairman Keolker-Wheeler presented a report concurring
Utility: Undergrounding with the recommendation of the Public Works Department to hire a mediator
Mediation (TCI) at an approximate cost of $6,000 to approach TCI and other utility companies
to negotiate equitable cost sharing of utility trenching. This project will be
funded by the use of cable communications funds. The Committee further
recommended that the matter be referred to Ways and Means Committee for
appropriate authorization. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE
REPORT.* Councilman Stredicke opposed using cable communication funds
for undergrounding purposes. Councilman Trimm felt that utility companies
ought to be responsible for negotiating costs without the City's involvement.
Chairman Keolker-Wheeler pointed out that due to deregulation of cable
companies, cities have little authority to require TCI and other cable
companies to comply with regulations. Upon inquiry, it was noted that the
City's cable consultant is coordinating solutions to this matter with the cities
of Auburn, Kent, Tukwila and Renton. *ROLL CALL: 5 AYES: TRIMM,

Annexation: Balko in accordance with City policy, Mayor Clymer opened the public meeting to
consider the Balko 10% notice of intent annexation petition for approximately
207 acres of property located east of the existing city limits at Duvall Avenue
NE (138th Avenue SE) and NE 4th Street to 154th Avenue SE.
Correspondence was read from Community Development Director Kenneth E.

approximately 90 days to allow review of sewer issues in the area. According
to Administrative Assistant Parness, the matter of sewer service in the
vicinity of the NE 4th Street corridor will be discussed at the Committee of

AUDIENCE COMMENT Larry Frazier, President of Seattle Master Builders Association, 2155 112th
Advancement Requested Avenue NE, Bellevue, requested that Council advance to the Ways and Means
Committee report regarding the Land Clearing and Tree Cutting Ordinance.
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY REED, COUNCIL SUSPEND
THE REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO WAYS AND
MEANS COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Ways and Means Ways and Means Committee Chairman Trimm presented a report
Committee recommending that the amended Land Clearing and Tree Cutting Ordinance
Planning: Land Clearing be placed on second and final reading. Audience comment was invited. On
and Tree Cutting behalf of the Seattle Master Builders, Mr. Frazier advised that the fee
Ordinance structure recommended in the ordinance is acceptable. However, he noted
that the absence of specified time frames in the ordinance is of concern since
there is no assurance that routine vegetation management permits will be
processed in a timely manner. He also requested that terms related to parcel
size be defined in the ordinance. Councilwoman Mathews indicated that in
response to earlier requests by Seattle Master Builders Association, additional
guidelines for the ordinance were drafted by the Community Development
i Department by letter from Nancy Laswell Morris, dated 5/30/89. She noted
that although Council has accepted these policies as administrative guidelines,
they have not included them in the ordinance. Instead, Ms. Mathews asked
that the Seattle Master Builders Association monitor the ordinance and inform
Council of any problems encountered.
David Crowell, Seattle-King County Association of Realtors, 2810 Eastlake
Avenue East, Seattle, submitted written comments objecting to the Routine
Vegetation Management Permit as being unduly restrictive and a deterrent to
advancing the intents and purposes of the ordinance. He also felt that
Section VII(B) is unduly restrictive since it requires issuance of certification
prior to removal of dead or damaged ground cover or trees; and suggested
that tree cutting be exempt for purposes of solar access. Referencing Section
XV(E), which requires denial of any and all land use permits for any parcel
on which trees and/or ground cover are removed in violation of the
ordinance, Mr. Crowell cautioned that the provision may not be legal and
may cause legal problems for innocent purchasers who buy property from
sellers who have violated the ordinance.

June 5. 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 153
Council President Stredicke indicated that the City has given developers every
opportunity to provide development guidelines. He cited examples of large
parcels which have been clear-cut and not developed for many years, i.e.
Victoria Hills and Sunpointe, and supported the Land Clearing and Tree
Cutting Ordinance as valid and necessary in the city to protect existing
vegetation. However, he agreed that the ordinance should be monitored to
assure that it is workable.
Ordinance #4219 An ordinance was read amending Title IV (Building Regulations) of City
Planning: Land Clearing Code by adding new chapter entitled Land Clearing and Tree Cutting
and Tree Cutting Ordinance and establishing penalties. MOVED BY TRIMM, SECONDED BY

CALL: ALL AYES. CARRIED.
AUDIENCE COMMENT Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, discussed the City's
(continued) administrative appeal process, citing examples of appeals he has filed with
Citizen Comment: Webb - the hearing examiner since 1981 on land use issues. He suggested that the
Administrative Appeal City provide procedural charts to any citizen making initial contact with the
Process City for any application requiring an administrative determination or
interpretation to apprise them of procedures and avenues of appeal.
Advancement Requested Kameron Cayce, attorney for Priebes, requested advancement to
Correspondence Item 7.a., setting appraisal fees for the vacated property.
MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY REED, COUNCIL
SUSPEND THE REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO
CORRESPONDENCE ITEM 7.A. AND REMOVE THIS ITEM FROM THE
TABLE. CARRIED. (Matter tabled on 5/15/89 to research whether the City
has expended funds on the property.)
CORRESPONDENCE Correspondence was read from Public Works Director Lynn Guttmann
Vacation: VAC-88-002, indicating that the City had acquired the right-of-way by subdivision. The
Maple Avenue SW, Priebe street now known as Maple Avenue SW lies within the plat of Earlington and
was recorded in 1906. Maple Avenue SW (also known as Rainier Boulevard
and 90th Avenue S.) was dedicated to the City via the plat. The property
was annexed to the City in July, 1948, from King County. The 30 feet
proposed for vacation is a grassy bank which the City maintains at a minimal
annual cost of $452. City ordinance does not provide for installment
payment options, but the petitioner has agreed to the 90 day period allowed
by ordinance for payment of the appraised amount after acceptance by
Council.
Mr. Cayce reiterated previous testimony of 5/15/89, and urged Council to
reduce the assessment required of his client or require none at all for the
vacated property. Following discussion, it was moved by Keolker-Wheeler,
seconded by Nelson, Council set value for all of these properties at $2.50 per
square,foot and that the charge be one-half of that or $1.25 per square foot.
Motion failed. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY REED, COUNCIL

SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE REGULAR
ORDER OF BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO CORRESPONDENCE ITEM
7.B. CARRIED.
CORRESPONDENCE Letter was read from Randal and Catherine Corman, 2216 Harrington Place
Condemnation: Honey NE, Renton, requesting that Council deny further assistance to Messrs. Santa
Creek, NE 23rd Street and Tomberg (Honey Creek Associates) in condemning the Corman property
along NE 23rd Street as access to the Honey Creek Planned Unit
Development. The letter reported recent denial of the City's condemnation
petition by King County Superior Court, noted that legal costs expended by
the City and the Cormans must be reimbursed by the developer, and urged
that further public funds not be spent on a project with no significant public
value. Planning and Development Committee report regarding this matter
was presented:
June 5. 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 154
Plannine and Planning and Development Committee Chairman Reed presented a report
Development Committee indicating the Committee met on June 1, 1989, to consider the City's
Condemnation: Honey continued involvement in the condemnation of NE 23rd and the effects that
Creek, NE 23rd Street abandoning the condemnation would have on the Honey Creek PUD. As one
of the conditions of development, the Honey Creek PUD was required to
acquire and develop one block of NE 23rd to the west of the Honey Creek
PUD. The court has refused to allow the condemnation to proceed unless the
City asserts more control over the condemnation project.
The Committee considered the questions of ingress and egress to the site.
Beginning at the north of the project, the Devil's Elbow Road is presently
unsafe, and the cost to make that road safe is not known, but it is known
that it would be substantial. Additionally, there may be grade problems in
getting from the elevation of Devil's Elbow Road to the building areas in the
Honey Creek PUD. Proceeding towards the south, any possible ingress and
egress along existing rights-of-way before NE 23rd is impossible because of
the steep slopes. NE 21st would have the traffic coming out on the same
street as would a direct exit to the south, thereby eliminating NE 21st as
either a secondary means of access or a means of emergency access.
The only potential means of access are NE 23rd and Jefferson Avenue.
Jefferson Avenue will serve as a means of access to this property. The
remaining question is to what extent NE 23rd should be used as more than
emergency access.
The original proposal was to have NE 23rd serve as only emergency access.
In order to minimize the effects of traffic on the neighborhood around the
southern exit, Jefferson Avenue, the Planning and Development Committee
previously recommended that NE 23rd be expanded to full two-lane width,
and the necessary right-of-way obtained.
The Planning and Development Committee believed that a return to using NE
23rd as emergency access only may be warranted. Before that step is taken,
however, a full public hearing should be held on the question. Therefore,
the Planning and Development Committee recommended to the full Council
that a public hearing be held to consider the question of limiting NE 23rd to
emergency access only, and having normal ingress and egress limited to
Jefferson Avenue.
The Planning and Development Committee further recommended that the
matter of payment of attorney's fees to the respondents in the NE 23rd
condemnation be referred to the Ways and Means Committee for review.
MOVED BY REED, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL CONCUR IN
THE COMMITTEE REPORT. Upon Council inquiry, City Attorney Warren
clarified that the court has ordered the City to pay all legal fees for the
condemnation proceedings, which will be reimbursed by the developer in
accordance with prior agreement. Mr. Corman felt that Council's efforts may
be futile towards the success of a potentially unworkable planned unit
development, and he asked that the City not pursue further condemnation of
the access property using public funds. MOTION CARRIED.

CBD: Removal of working with the Downtown Renton Merchants Association regarding
Planters improvement of the downtown area. Administrative Assistant Parness
reported that the City has provided clerical assistance to the association and
will continue to offer to help in any way it can. Mr. Stredicke stated that a
major complaint expressed at a prior association meeting was insufficient on-
street parking, and he asked that when the City is petitioned by the
association to remove the planters on S. 3rd Street, the administration be
prepared to provide a recommendation to Council on that subject.
Councilman Reed expressed hope that a plan or vision for the downtown area
be developed prior to removal of the planters.

King County: Jail Site Council President Stredicke presented a report regarding King County jail
Selection site selection. Staff presented an issue paper and oral report regarding plans
for a new King County jail. Staff suggested that if the City is interested in
�. closing its municipal jail, one of the options that conceptually makes good
sense is to contract with King County for services. If that turns out to be
the preferred option for the City, it would also be advisable for the City to
be actively involved in the jail siting and design process. With this in mind,
the Administration requested authorization to be actively involved in planning
efforts by King County for the new jail.

June 5 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 156
In addition, the administration requested that it be allowed to discuss a
service option contract with King County and to work with the County to
find potential sites in South County, including Renton, for the location of the
new jail. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY NELSON COUNCIL
CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. For the record, Councilwoman
Keolker-Wheeler stated that no site will be chosen for a jail within the city
limits of Renton without a full hearing by the City Council. The City is
looking at all of the available options, and at this point, no site has been
chosen. CARRIED.
Garbage: Complaints and Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler relayed a message from staff that every
Information effort is being made to provide correct and consistent information to the
public regarding changes in garbage collection and recycling. She asked that
Councilmembers refer all questions regarding garbage to staff to assure that

Planning: City-Wide meeting with the Planning Commission in October, 1988, the City Council
Comprehensive Plan authorized the Planning Division to initiate work on a City-wide
Update Comprehensive Plan update program as a new work item for 1989. The City
Council also directed staff to work with the Planning Commission to develop
the scope-of-work for the project. The Planning Commission approved a

recommendation back to Council for final approval.
The Planning and Development Committee recommended that Council

NEW BUSINESS Referencing numerous letters sent to Council by employees of the Kenworth
Citizen Comment: truck plant, Council President Stredicke reported that on behalf of the
Kenworth Truck Council, he has responded to the letters as well as to the administration of the
Company Relocation Kenworth Truck Company. In the letter, he clarified the City's support for
the relocation of the facility, provided information regarding the status of the
application, and invited City staff and Kenworth to make a joint presentation
to the Renton City Council in July.
Airport: FAA Referencing recent FAA groundbreaking ceremony, Councilwoman Keolker-
Groundbreaking Wheeler explained that Council members were not notified of the event and
Ceremony therefore did not attend.
ADMINISTRATIVE Responding to Ralph Evans' question of 5/15/89, Mayor Clymer advised that
REPORT the graffiti has been removed from the Highlands reservoir on NE 12th
Citizen Comment: Evans Street, although a faint stain remains which can be seen from the street. The
- Graffiti on Water stain, which cannot be removed without damaging the reservoir's protective
Tower coating, is expected to weather away over time.
Public Works: Snow Responding to Council questions of 5/15/89 regarding repairs to streets
Removal Funding damaged by the harsh winter, Mayor Clymer reported that Lake Avenue S.
between Airport Way and S. 2nd Street was rated in poor condition and will
be repaved this summer as a 1989 overlay program project. Portions of
Harrington Avenue SE and Index Avenue SE which form a loop off SE 16th
Street will be patched in early July to extend life of the streets for two or
three additional years since they did not incur enough damage to be included
in the 1989 overlay program. The portion of Index Avenue SE which
extends east of the Harrington intersection and becomes SE 16th is listed as
winter damaged and included in the proposed supplemental budget request.
Policy: Tree Cutting along Responding to Councilman Stredicke's concern of 5/15/89 regarding severely
Sunset Boulevard pruned trees along NE Sunset Boulevard, Mayor Clymer reported that trees
behind the sidewalk in the 3200 block of Sunset were planted when the
Highlands Shopping Center was developed. Although the subject trees are on
private property, a letter has been sent by the Planning Department to the
property owner, Pan-American Properties, Inc. of Santa Ana, CA, indicating
the City's displeasure over the pruning damage, and asking that the trees be
allowed to fully branch out in the future to attain their natural stance.
Airport: Bird Hazard, Mayor Clymer announced that on 6/2/89, Governor Gardner vetoed bills
Cedai River Delta which would have provided $800,000 in funds to dredge the Cedar River
Dredging delta near the Renton Airport to eliminate the problem of birds congregating
on the sand bar and interfering with flights from Renton Airport. Attempts
to reach Governor Gardner by telephone were unsuccessful, and a form letter
has since been received explaining reasons for the veto. At Council request,
a letter requesting reconsideration of the veto will be sent to the Governor
explaining serious consequences to the City if the problem continues--the
FAA has announced that Renton Airport will be closed if there are any
further aircraft accidents caused by birds. Mayor Clymer also indicated that
discussions regarding alternative solutions for the problem are being held
with Kay Johnson, Manager of the Chamber of Commerce.

Community Services regarding Program Management. The Committee met on 6/6/89 to hear a
Committee presentation by the administration on the program management concept. The
Program Management: administration plans to use the Community Services Committee as the general
Concept Monitored informational clearing house for information on program management.
Where specific subtopics would be better placed before another Council
committee, then such a referral will be made by means of the consent agenda.
When the Committee believes that a topic would be better heard by the full
Council, or by another committee, then the Community Services Committee
will make that recommendation to the full City Council.
The city attorney discussed the ongoing negotiations with Boeing to arrive at
a contract to pay the added expenses of handling the massive Boeing plan
review and permit applications in a timely manner. It was noted that Boeing
will be asked to pay the incremental cost necessary to add additional staff or
to hire outside consultants. The Committee recommended that the full
Council approve the contract with Boeing in concept, and refer the matter to
the Ways and Means Committee for final review and recommendation to the
Council.
June 12. 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 164
It was noted to the Committee that present City ordinances do not specifically
discuss the concept of charging additional fees for handling of large or
complex permit applications. The administration would like to adopt an
interim ordinance permitting the City to charge additional fees for such
projects with the understanding that a more detailed ordinance will be
prepared at a later time. The Committee recommended that the Council
approve the concept of such modifications to the permit fees, plan review
fees, and other fees charged for plan review, permit issuance, and inspection,
and that the topic be referred to the Ways and Means Committee for
preparation of the appropriate ordinances. MOVED BY NELSON,

Plannine and Planning and Development Committee Chairman Reed presented a report
Development Committee regarding the residential dock provisions of the Shoreline Master Program.
Planning: Shoreline The Committee met and reviewed the Planning Commission recommendation
Master Program, on the residential dock amendments to the City of Renton Shoreline Master
Residential Dock Program. The Committee recommended consideration by the Council of the
Amendments Commission's recommendation together with a modification by the Committee
requiring approval of all docks subject to the criteria of Section 7.12.03.C.3
of the amendment. The Committee further recommended that the Council
hold a public hearing on 7/3/89 on the modified amendment to meet State
requirements for Shoreline Master Program amendments. MOVED BY
REED, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN
THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Comprehensive Plan: Planning and Development Committee Chairman Reed presented a report
Talbot Road Private regarding the Talbot Road Private Comprehensive Plan Amendment Proposal.
Amendment In January, 1989, a group of private land owners and developers requested
that the Council initiate a private comprehensive plan amendment for the
Talbot Road area. Council referred the request to the Planning Commission
which held hearings on the matter in February. The Commission made a
finding that the proposed amendment had merit, but that it should not be
initiated as a separate work item because of the impact such a project would
have on the City-Wide Comprehensive Plan work program. The Commission
recommended that the Talbot Road proposal be considered as part of the
ongoing City-Wide Comprehensive Plan update.
Following the Planning Commission hearings, staff developed four alternative
scenarios for processing the proposed private comprehensive pan amendment.
The Planning and Development Committee considered these alternatives on
6/8/89. The Committee was generally favorable toward the alternative of
developing interim policies which would be heard by the Planning
Commission. However, the Committee directed that the Planning Commission
be given the opportunity of reviewing these alternatives prior to final action
by the Committee. It is specifically the Committee's intent that no staff
would be diverted from the Comprehensive Plan effort, but that a "contract
planner" would be hired at the developers' expense if this proposal were to be
initiated.
The Committee recommended that the Talbot Road Private Comprehensive
Plan proposal be referred back to the Planning Commission for a report back
to the Planning and Development Committee on June 15, 1989. MOVED BY
REED, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE
COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Comprehensive Plan: Planning and Development Committee Chairman Reed presented a report
City-Wide Update Work regarding staffing for the Comprehensive Plan Program. The City-Wide
Program Comprehensive Plan Update Program, including the implementing zoning
ordinances, property rezones, and the B-1 (business) zone are among the
highest priority projects for the City. This is consistent with priorities
identified by Council last year at the Semi-Ah-Moo retreat.
The Planning and Development Committee unanimously supported
administrative efforts to ensure the success of this program. The Committee
urged Mayor Clymer to consider this statement of support when prioritizing
future resources in order to give emphasis to complete this important
program. MOVED BY REED, SECONDED BY REED, SECONDED BY

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
PUD: Preliminary, Honey in accordance with State and local laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Creek, PPUD-015-84 hearing to consider the matter of access to the proposed Honey Creek
Associates Preliminary Planned Unit Development, consisting of 72
multifamily units located in the vicinity of the 2200 block of Jefferson
Avenue NE. As a result of a recent court decision denying condemnation of
property owned by the Cormans along NE 23rd Street, which was needed to
provide full access to the development, the City Council must now determine
whether to retain the requirement for two full access roads to the site or
whether to reduce that requirement to one major access along Jefferson
Avenue NE and one gated, secondary, 20-foot emergency access along NE
23rd Street.
Correspondence was read from Stanley A. Huseland, Trustee of Amos
Huseland Educational Trust, 11107 Wood Court, Carmel, IN 46032. The
letter advised that sole access to the 20 acres owned by the Huseland Trust in
the Honey Creek-May Creek valley is via Devil's Elbow Road (NE 27th
Street) which the City has closed. Mr. Huseland expressed strong objection
to the closure, pointed out that the road failed after being widened during
City sewer and road improvement projects in the canyon several years ago,
and urged restoration of the original configuration of the road for use by
local residents.
Audience comment was invited. Representing Stanley Huseland, Amos
Huseland, 1916 Edmonds Avenue NE, Renton, withdrew his opposition to
emergency access along NE 23rd Street. He stated that he and his son were
under the impression that the roadway referred to in the public hearing
notice was Devil's Elbow Road, which, although now known as NE 27th
Street, was formerly designated as NE 23rd Street on old maps. However, he
urged that Devil's Elbow Road be restored by the City to its former
configuration to provide access not only to areas to the north and east but to
his undeveloped property as well.
Referring to a vicinity map, Planning Manager Larry Springer provided
background information regarding the proposal. He indicated that City Code
requires direct access to a City street from all developments, and the Fire
Code requires two means of access, one primary and one secondary, for any
development consisting of three or more buildings located more than 200 feet
from a public road. Fire Code requires that the secondary access be a
minimum of 20 feet wide and paved.
Secondary access alternatives were discussed by Mr. Springer: 1) NE 21st
Street--additional right-of-way would be required and would generate
additional traffic through a larger single family area; 2) NE 27th Street
(Devil's Elbow Road)--not viable due to instability; and 3) NE 23rd Street--
direct route to site and the preferred alternative for either full development
or gated emergency access. Slope easements (2-5 feet) and a small retaining
June 19, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 170
wall may be needed to stabilize the bank along the roadway. Mr. Springer
advised that in its recent decision on the NE 23rd Street condemnation, the
Court had indicated that the City must pursue condemnation on its own
initiative and independent of the Honey Creek development. Due to low
anticipated volume on NE 23rd Street, staff has recommended that further
condemnation of property not occur and the 20-foot road be restricted to
gated emergency access only.
Noting that the proposed Honey Creek development has 72 units generating
approximately 476 round trips per day, Mr. Springer compared it with other
City projects approved with one primary access and one gated emergency
access: 1) Victoria Hills--174 units with 856 round trips per day; 2) Cedar
Ridge--138 units with 1380 round trips per day; and 3) Woodcliffe--300
units with 1475 round trips per day. Council President Stredicke expressed
concern with approval of a sole access to the development due to potential
impact from traffic on homes located near the entrance. Upon inquiry by
Councilwoman Mathews, Mr. Springer confirmed that the City may have to
condemn the 2-5-foot slope easement needed to develop NE 23rd; however,
since impact on adjacent homes would be reduced by the narrower roadway,
there is a possibility of reaching an agreement with the property owner
without legal action.
Audience comment was invited. John Sullivan, 2633 NE 23rd Street,
represented property owners on the south side of NE 23rd Street. He
objected to additional traffic on NE 23rd Street due to narrow, 14-foot
width; and he cited prior drainage and safety problems associated with the
roadway.
Chuck Velte, 12117 SE 96th Place, Renton, discussed the merits of improving
Devil's Elbow Road for use as access to the subject site as well as to residents
to the east who were cut off from direct access to the freeway and deprived
of secondary access when the road was closed. Mr. Velte suggested that
Urban Arterial Board funds be sought to improve Devil's Elbow Road before
costs escalate further. Noting constant use of the roadway by ATVs and
motorcycles, as a gathering place for teenagers consuming alcohol, and as a
dumping area, Mr. Velte requested that if there are no plans to open the road
for vehicle access, the least the City can do is install an effective barricade to
keep people out.
Mitch Murray, 2813 NE 23rd Place, Renton, indicated he has a Washington
professional engineering license. Indicating his opinion that problems
associated with Devil's Elbow Road have been exaggerated, Mr. Murray
reported that his engineering survey of the roadway shows a slope of less
than 10°x6 for its entire length contrary to information provided by the
applicant, and is well within the City's allowable slope criteria. He advised
that the cost would be the same--$100,000--to improve either Devil's Elbow
Road or NE 23rd Street to emergency access standards; however,
improvement of Devil's Elbow Road would better serve the public interest
since it could be widened for future public access while NE 23rd Street
would remain a gated road.
Bob Tomberg, 6005 Hazelwood Lane, Bellevue, property owner, asked
Council to consider emergency access via NE 23rd rather than Devil's Elbow
Road. He reaffirmed advice by expert engineers that access via Devil's
Elbow Road is inadequate for the project, and maintenance costs would be
high. Noting that the project has been unduly delayed, he urged Council to
arrive at a timely decision on the matter.
Tom Malmo, 12105 SE 96th Place, Renton, spoke in favor of improvement of
Devil's Elbow Road as the best choice for access into the Honey Creek
property, and indicated that before the City laid water and sewer lines in the
area, Devil's Elbow Road was stable and served as access through the canyon.
Upon Council inquiry, it was noted that notice of the public hearing was
posted in the area of the site, published in the newspaper, and mailed to all
parties of record. It was also clarified that Council had reaffirmed at the
75% annexation hearing on May 12, 1986, that if the 40-foot right of way
for NE 23rd Street cannot be acquired, the development would not be
allowed to proceed. Council asked about the City's obligation to provide
access to developing properties. City Attorney Warren stated that the City
has no legal obligation to keep any road open. Regarding the condemnation
proceeding, he explained findings of the Court that the City had signed an
agreement with the developer and had contracted away some of the City's
power of eminent domain. If the City had wanted to acquire property for
reasons of safety, traffic circulation, or other reasons within municipal
171
June 19, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Paee 171
powers, the condemnation suit could go ahead. Mr. Warren referenced
memorandum from Public Works Director Guttmann this date recommending
that the City proceed with the condemnation of NE 23rd Street even if the
Honey Creek Associates PUD is not developed to provide the most direct and
least disruptive route to the single family residential area.
Mr. Tomberg recalled that at the first public hearing on this matter, the
public was supportive of the development to put an end to illegal dumping
and other activities on the property.
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY REED, COUNCIL CLOSE THE
PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Council indicated that since additional
right-of-way on NE 23rd Street cannot be acquired, it appears that
development will not be able to proceed. City Attorney confirmed that if
conditions of the PUD cannot be met, conditions of Ordinance No. 4143,
adopted on 4/4/88, will be self-executing and the PUD cannot proceed. He
indicated that no further action is required by Council. (The ordinance
approved the PPUD and established a two year time limit for submission of a
final plan excluding the time required for condemnation of property along
NE 23rd Street.) No further action was taken by Council.

Citizen Comment: Webb - comes from people who are not willing to accept the City as it is and are
Council Microphones and striving for improvement, promoting efficiency in government, and hunting
Procedures for honest answers. Noting recent replacement of Council microphones with
lapel mikes, Mr. Webb reported that the audience still cannot hear Council
discussion, and he urged that Council change its policy and procedure for
Council meetings to allow audience comment during abbreviated Council
meetings as well as at work sessions. He also requested that executive
sessions be held following regular Council meetings so that the audience can
leave instead of after abbreviated meetings when audience members are
waiting for work sessions to begin.
Citizen Comment: Carson Frank Carson, 1737 Lake Avenue South, Renton, asked for a completion date
- Mosquito Abatement for the wildlife census required by the hearing examiner prior to start of
and Compression Brakes mosquito abatement program in the Valley area. He expressed concern with
delays in the spraying program due to health hazards associated with
mosquitoes. Advising that the City's ordinance prohibiting the use of
compression brakes by trucks is not being enforced, Mr. Carson supported
use of revenue from recent license fee and utility increases for additional
police services.
Upon Council inquiry regarding status of mosquito spraying program, Mayor
Clymer agreed to ask Parks Director John Webley to provide a report.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Planning: Shoreline in accordance with local and State law, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Master Program, hearing to consider an amendment to the Shoreline Master Program regarding
Residential Dock residential docks. Senior Planner Jeanette Samek-McKague described the
Amendments purpose of the hearing to increase flexibility in approving variances for
residential docks. Since about 1974, the City's Shoreline Master Program has
set dock lengths at 30 feet or a water depth of 8 feet, whichever comes first,
to a maximum of 100 feet. In the shallow areas of Lake Washington, docks
vary in length from 100 feet to 180 feet, and were either constructed prior to
adoption of the Shoreline Master Program or after approval of a variance.
Under existing regulations, some docks could not be rebuilt to their original
configuration if destroyed or damaged.
Ms. Samek-McKague indicated that prior to 1974, the Shoreline Master
Program allowed maximum dock lengths of 150 feet; maximum dock lengths
allowed by other communities along the lake vary between 100 and 150 feet;
the average boat length is between 17 and 24 feet; and the depth of Lake
Washington within the Renton boundaries is very shallow, ranging from two
to five feet.
Based upon public testimony at a public hearing held on 4/26/89 by the
Planning Commission and subsequent deliberations by the Commission, the
following amendments were proposed to the residential dock section of the
Shoreline Master Program:
Section 7.12.03.C.1.a.: The dock may extend to a maximum of 80 feet
beyond the ordinary high water line into the water or until a depth of 12
feet below the mean low water mark, whichever is reached first. In no
case shall a dock be limited to less than 50 feet in length.
Section 7.12.03.C.2: Any greater dimension than those listed above may
be allowed by the hearing examiner for good reason, which shall include,
but not be limited to, conditions requiring greater dock length and
construction. The Examiner shall determine that the following criteria
have been met in approving such requests: That the dock length does
not extend beyond a length necessary to provide reasonable and safe
moorage, does not interfere with the public use and enjoyment of the
water or create a hazard to navigation, and will not interfere with use of
adjacent docks.
Mrs. Samek-McKague reported that the Planning and Development
Committee had presented a report to the City Council on 6/12/89 concurring
in the recommendation of the Planning Commission amendment with a
modification that all docks be subject to the review criteria as proposed in
Section 7.12(C)(3) of the Shoreline Master Program, and recommending that
the Council hold a public hearing on the matter this date as required by State
305

OLD BUSINESS Councilwoman Mathews announced that the SCATBD Committee (Valley
PSCOG: Valley Transportation Committee) will be meeting at Kent City Hall on 11/14/89 at
Transportation Committee 7:30 a.m. to discuss the draft interlocal agreement. Following action by the
(SCATBD) Committee, the agreement will be brought to the City for discussion.
Utilities Committee Utilities Committee Chairman Keolker-Wheeler presented a report regarding
Garbage: Solid Waste the solid waste service rate update, referred 10/16/89. The Committee
Service Rate Update supported the direction of the revised 1990 solid waste rate study. The
Committee tentatively recommended concurrence with the staff request for an
overall 21% increase in garbage fees for 1990 and the proposed allocation of
this increase respective to the service classification. This recommendation is
5% more than the proposed 16% increase for 1990 that was presented to
Council in April. The extra 5% equates to the need for an additional
$150,000 to accommodate: 1) a new 1% State solid waste tax that became
effective in July ($43,000); and 2) a proposed increase in the tipping fee at
Cedar Hills landfill from $47/ton to $53/ton ($104,000). The final
recommendation for the allocation of this increase to the respective service
classes is subject to further discussion with the City Attorney.
Background information: In April, 1989, Council had been presented with a
solid waste rate study that projected the anticipated cost of the City's new
Waste Reduction and Recycling Program over the life of the proposed
contract period of four years and eight months. Council decision supported
this allocation of program costs over this time frame as a means to equally
balance the fiscal impact of these costs upon the customers. This rate study
proposed a 16% increase in garbage fees beginning in May. Council
approved this increase as well as supported the decision to increase rates
incrementally until 1993. In 1990, the increase was projected to be 16%.
In May, 1989, the City signed a contract with Rainier Disposal that
terminates on December 31, 1993. That contract provided for inauguration
of a residential curbside collection program of recyclables and yard waste
materials. This curbside collection program, which was started on August
7th, has served as the initial step in the City's new Waste Reduction and
Recycling Program.
The citizens of Renton have enthusiastically combined recycling into their
lifestyles. The quantity of recyclables and yard waste materials collected has
been approximately 23% greater than predicted. This unanticipated increase
in tonnage together with the new state tax and the anticipated increase in
King County tipping fees necessitated a re-evaluation of the proposed rate
increase. The recommendation of this re-evaluation study is for the
additional 5% increase, totaling an overall 21% increase for 1990 garbage fees.
Chairman Keolker-Wheeler clarified that the report provides policy direction
and guidelines for solid waste staff to continue negotiations on the rates. She
reported that the recommendation retains the same rate for one can and
establishes a mini-can rate. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE
REPORT. Upon inquiry regarding the King County $10 surcharge for
incineration, Mrs. Keolker-Wheeler and City Attorney Warren indicated that
discussions are being held with King County to determine whether the funds
will be held by the Council or refunded to cities since incineration is no
longer being considered. Mr. Warren agreed to update Council on all
proposals to disburse the incineration funds. MOTION CARRIED.
New Council Members Newly elected Council members Theresa Zimmerman and Robert Edwards
Welcomed were introduced and seated with Council to participate in budget discussions
at Committee of the Whole meeting which followed. They will fill open
Council positions vacated by Tom Trimm (completing the unexpired term of
Mayor Earl Clymer) and Bob Hughes (resigned). The swearing-in ceremony
will be on 11/27/89.

SPECIAL A report was given by members of the delegation who recently visited
PRESENTATION Renton's sister city, Nishiwaki, Japan, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of
Sister City Delegation, the sister city program. Planning Commissioner Joan Walker and Renton
Nishiwaki, Japan Lions Club members Wyman Dobson and Roger Richert described activities
and tours planned for the visiting delegation and noted gracious hospitality
extended by Japanese hosts. Mayor Clymer was presented with letters and
gifts, including a clock commemorating the 20th anniversary of the program
from the Mayor of Nishiwaki. (See later comments.)
AUDIENCE COMMENT Versie Vaupel, P.O. Box 755, Renton, advised that the environmental appeal
Citizen Comment: Vaupel periods for three major City projects all expire coincidentally on 12/4/89 or
- North Renton Project 12/5/89: the declaration of non-significance for the Boeing 2,140-stall
EIS Deadlines parking lot near the stadium, the Boeing expansion environmental impact
statement (EIS), and the PACCAR draft environmental impact statement
(DEIS). She indicated that review of the documents and preparation of
responsive comments is burdensome for residents who have been actively
following these projects, and she asked that the deadlines be staggered to ease
the workload for residents as well as staff. Principal Planner Don Erickson
indicated that although timing on the Boeing projects is critical, the deadline
for the PACCAR DEIS critical path review allows flexibility in the review
period and the deadline could be extended if approved by PACCAR and
published in the Valley News. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY
KEOLKER-WHEELER, THAT THIS MATTER BE REFERRED TO THE
ADMINISTRATION TO REPORT BACK TO COUNCIL NEXT MONDAY.
Upon inquiry, it was clarified that staff would be authorized to seek approval
for the extension from PACCAR representatives, and with that approval,
extend the deadline for the PACCAR DEIS and report back to Council next
week. CARRIED. Mrs. Vaupel requested that North Renton representatives
be notified of all deadlines and activities related to development in the area.
Annexation: May Valley Andrew Duffus, 9605 143rd Avenue SE, Renton, presented a petition
containing 80 signatures opposing the proposed May Valley annexation
submitted by the Leavitt Company, Inc. for approximately 52 acres located to
the north and east of the Renton boundaries. Urging denial of the
annexation, the petition cited potential impacts to the subject area if the
r.. annexation is approved, including intensive real estate development,
environmental impact to wildlife and creeks, impact to roads, increase in
traffic volume, and increased demand on public safety services. Council
President Stredicke announced that the names of community representatives
will be placed on a mailing list and notified of all future hearings and
meetings on this matter.
November 20, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 314
Annexation: May Valley John Affolter, 10218 147th SE, Renton, submitted a letter signed by seven
residents of the May Valley Co-op Community (MVC), indicating that the
key property in the annexation proposal is a 20.4 acre forest bordering the
City's Summerwind division along 144th Avenue SE (if extended), owned by
MVC. The letter described controversy within the MVC and the May Valley
Neighbors Associations as to disposition of the forest, and reported that less
than the required 60% of property owners have signed the annexation
petition. Mr. Affolter questioned the viability of the proposal in view of the
dispute over sale of the forest property to the annexation petitioner, lack of
support of the community, and the possible creation of illogical City
boundaries.
Annexation: May Valley Henry Von-Jouanne, 2062 Ilwaco Avenue NE, Renton, representing the
neighbors for May Valley, submitted a petition signed by 143 residents of
May Valley and the Summerwind development. The petition stated that the
MVC forest provides a substantial privacy buffer for the neighborhood; the
land must be maintained in its natural state to protect the fish and wildlife
environment; and development of the MVC property would allow
development of the adjacent 21 acres which would impact traffic and roads.
Residents were also concerned that development could cause flooding of
adjacent septic systems and inflate property taxes in the area.
Annexation: May Valley Cleveland Gilbert, 2060 Ilwaco Avenue NE, Renton, opposed the May Valley
annexation due to potential impact to existing residents in the area.
Citizen Comment: Evans Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11th Place, Renton, advised that information
- Fairwood Annexation regarding the Fairwood annexation was not included in his utility bill as
Status Report promised. He also reported that the Chamber microphones were not
amplifying properly.
Rezone: Good Shepherd Upon inquiry by Mr. Evans regarding the Good Shepherd group home on
Group Home (Olympia Olympia Avenue NE, Council President Stredicke reported that the rezone
Avenue NE), R-015-88 ordinance will be held an additional week to allow the City Attorney to
prepare restrictive covenants limiting development of the site to a group
home. Mayor Clymer presented an administrative report on the matter as
follows:
Rezone: Good Shepherd Good Shepherd deferral of off-site improvements on Olympia Avenue NE
Group Home (Olympia (referred 11/6/89): On 7/26/89, the Board of Public Works denied a deferral
Avenue NE), R-015-88 request for installation of curbs, gutters and sidewalks for the following
reasons: the applicant had been aware of the requirement at the time of
application, deferral was not justified for any valid reason, and those
requirements had not been waived by the hearing examiner. However, to
allow the applicant to record the short plat and to obtain HUD funding
available in the spring of 1990, a temporary one-year deferral to 9/22/90 was
subsequently approved by the board after the applicant submitted a
contractor's bid price, schedule of work, and bond.
Good Shepherd Mr. Evans refuted information submitted by Good Shepherd to justify
(continued) approval of the deferral. The application had stated that the neighbors
opposed development of sidewalks due to the presumption that those
improvements would likewise be required of them and would create a
financial hardship. He clarified that none of the neighbors had been polled
by Good Shepherd representatives and the information was false.
Good Shepherd Bill Walker, 711 Monroe Avenue NE, Renton, complained that the City had
(continued) failed to notify the public of public hearings regaring the Good Shepherd
development, and pointed out that a map displayed at the Senior Center for
the purpose of discussing the Kenworth project in North Renton did not
include the Highlands area. Senior Planner Lenora Blauman reported that the
record clearly reflects compliance by the City with all legal posting and
publication requirements. She also offered Mr. Walker the opportunity to
review the official file.
Good Shepherd Responding to a comment by Ms. Blauman that certain improvements have
(continued) been made to date on the Good Shepherd site, Versie Vaupel, P.O. Box 755,
Renton, questioned whether City funds have been used for those
improvements, and requested a response to her prior question regarding use
of city funds and the constitutional issue of the separation of church and
state. Ms. Blauman reported that no City funds have been used to date for
improvements on the site; however, relocation of utility lines will be funded
by the City since the entire area will be benefited by the improvement.

November 20, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 315
Good Shepherd Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 1 I th Place, Renton, reported that as of 1 l/17/89,
(continued) HUD had not approved the lease agreement between Good Shepherd and the
Lutheran Church for use of the property on Olympia Avenue NE, HUD had
not approved the management plan submitted by Good Shepherd, and
concerns related to the separation of church and state had not been resolved
to the satisfaction of the ACLU.
Citizen Comment: Webb - Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, indicated concern that
Gifts from Sister City generosity extended by residents of Nishiwaki is not being reciprocated by
the City. He felt that if the City does not intend to respond in kind, gifts
from Nishiwaki should be declined. Mayor Clymer pointed out that because
State law prohibits the use of City funds for this purpose, reciprocal gifts
have been provided by Renton officials at their own expense; the gifts from
Japan are given to the City, not to individuals, and are on display in public
facilities; and Nishiwaki officials have been apprised of the laws regarding
use of City funds to purchase gifts, and would be offended if the City
refused them.
Citizen Comment: Webb - On a second matter, Mr. Webb urged Council to reinstate the audience

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Budget: 1990 City of in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Renton hearing to consider the 1990 City of Renton preliminary budget balanced in
the amount of $84.3 million. The budget letter presented by Mayor Clymer
indicated that the 1990 budget is decreased by 6.6% from 1989 and the
operating budget will increase by 2% over 1989 costs. New programs
requested by departments totaled $2.8 million and were reduced to
$1,153,530. A 5% increase in municipal staffing levels (23.7 positions) will
help to maintain existing service levels and carry out the 1990 work plan.
The 1990 capital improvement program totals $18.5 million, including $6
million in proposed local improvement districts. There are no tax increases in
the budget, but recommended are a renewal of the $55 per capita license fee
to fund transportation improvements and a transfer of 1990 cable TV taxes to
fund police education programs along with an 18% total increase in
municipally-operated utilities.
Correspondence was read from Jack McRae, PACCAR Director of Public
Affairs, expressing preference for continuing the license head tax rather than
imposing a new tax; and requesting that a sunset provision be required for
extension of the head tax and funding be dedicated to transportation related
projects.
Audience comment was invited. John Powers, 500 SW 16th Street, Renton,
Chairman of the Local Government Committee of the Renton Chamber of
Commerce, indicated that as a result of presentations given by Mayor Clymer
and staff, the chamber has concurred in the City's request to extend the head
tax for another two years to guarantee funding for transportation
improvements in the City. Along with the two-year sunset clause, Mr.
Powers requested that the program be formally reviewed after one year by
representatives of the chamber and other appropriate citizens or businesses.
He also asked that any unanticipated revenue received by the City be actively
considered for transportation purposes on a proportionate basis, and requested
that the Mayor and City Council lobby the state legislature to secure a local
source of funding for transportation needs.
Sgt. Bill File, 3404 NE 17th Place, Police Department Traffic Division,
discussed area-wide traffic circulation problems and increased accident rate
in the city as a result of high commuter traffic volumes and increased
development. He circulated photographs depicting serious accidents in all
areas of the city, and urged that the 1990 budget allocation be increased from
three to six additional police officers to ensure adequate traffic supervision in
the City.
Richard Brooks, 1025 S. 3rd Street, Renton, addressed Council regarding the
need for the human services planning position deleted from the budget. He
urged reinstatement of the position for a period of one year, citing need for
development of a comprehensive plan, identification of human services,
definition of goals, etc. for social services to put the City in a position to
apply for social service funding which will be available in 1991.
Richard Nibarger, 2517 Jones Avenue NE, Renton, President of Renton
Police Guild, advised support by the guild for the request for additional
manpower in the police department to provide adequate service to the citizens
of the City.
Tom Burdick, 13559 139th Place SE, Renton, referenced 1990 budget
expenditure in the amount of $100,000 for 12--inch watermain replacement
along 138th Avenue SE outside the city limits. Although he supported
replacement of the dilapidated 4-inch main, Mr. Burdick felt that an 8-inch
line would adequately serve the existing single family residential area and any
proposed similar development. He expressed concern that installation of an
expensive oversized line, with little recovery of costs from residents along
138th Avenue SE, will provide increased capacity for higher density
development which is opposed by residents in the area.
Versie Vaupel, P.O. Box 755, Renton, suggested that in lieu of imposing a
head tax to fund traffic improvements, the city, supported by the community
and business, should make a concerted effort to solicit assistance from the
State Legislature for traffic improvement funding in this area. Citing
problems with drug sales and traffic accidents and congestion in her
neighborhood, Mrs. Vaupel also supported the request by the Police
Department to increase the number of new officers in the 1990 budget.
November 27. 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Page 324
Sandy Webb, 430 Mill Avenue S., Renton, indicated concern that although
the budget has increased from $26 million in 1979 to $84 million in 1990,
funding for needed community services, i.e. new Kennydale fire station and
police/fire training facility; and additional officers, park department
maintenance workers, meter readers, and animal control officers, has not
increased commensurately. He objected to hiring additional administrative
staff for each new City program, opposed extension of sewer lines from new
development into Heather Downs, and criticized the City for selecting the
Municipal Court operation for relocation to the temporary building in the
parking lot. ."

REPORT (referred 11/20/89): Letter from Community Development Director Kenneth
Community Development: Nyberg indicated that although SEPA rules allow the City to grant an
Kenworth Draft EIS extension of up to 15 days to the comment period, he did not find a
Comment Period compelling reason for an extension. However, the request for extension will
Extension be submitted to the Environmental Review Committee for review on

Councilwoman Zimmerman requested that Versie Vaupel, the initiator of the
request, be notified.
AUDIENCE COMMENT Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11th Place, Renton, asked whether the restrictive
Rezone: Good Shepherd covenants executed for the Good Shepherd rezone included the
Group Home (Olympia recommendation by the Community Services Committee in October, 1987,
Avenue NE), R-015-88 that Renton residents be given priority for residency in the home, and not
less than 50°x6 of the residents would be Renton citizens. Response from
Council and the city attorney indicated that although not included in the
covenants, the record reflects Council endorsement of a policy to give Renton
residents first priority since City funds were being used towards the
development of the group home. Mr. Evans asked whether covenants contain
a zoning reversionary clause if development does not occur within a specific
time period. Ms. Keolker-Wheeler cited language in the covenants which
requires reversion of zoning to R-1 if development of the group home is not
completed within two years of issuance of building permits or is discontinued
for a period of longer than 90 days.
Citizen Comment: Webb - Sandy Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, indicated disappointment with
Kenworth Draft EIS the recommendation not to extend the Paccar DEIS. He pointed out that the
Comment Period request was made by Mrs. Vaupel due to coincidental expiration of comment
Extension periods on EIS's for several large projects and need by the public for
adequate time to review and prepare comments.

use of the site by Good Shepherd for the developmentally disabled is
discontinued. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler clarified that rezone covenants
limit residency in the Good Shepherd group home to those who are
developmentally disabled, not mentally ill patients, juvenile delinquents, or
drug abusers. Since Mr. Evans questioned whether there was any definitive
breakdown between the groups, Councilwoman Zimmerman asked that
definitions be provided to Council and Mr. Evans.

LID: 335, Sierra Heights Utilities Committee Chairman Keolker-Wheeler presented a report regarding
Sewer Improvements Local Improvement District No. 335, Sierra Heights sewer improvements
(referred 3/13/89). The Utilities Committee met with staff to discuss options
for sanitary sewer service in the Sierra Heights community which annexed in
June, 1987.
Working with one sewer design configuration to serve the annexed area, staff
explored five LID funding options that featured different service areas
(allowable connections), including service to properties located outside the
annexation area. The preliminary LID cost estimates for a typical 8,400
square foot lot ranged from $13,500 for the basic annexed area to $6,200 if
all properties in the service area (e.g. those adjacent to the sewer line) were
assessed. The service area includes properties in the county that could
connect to the sewer line and share in the assessment if approved by the
King County Boundary Review Board and the City Council. The alternative
for those residents outside the City would be a latecomer charge when
connecting to the sewer at a future date.
,.., The Public Works Department recommended the following steps to further
determine the interest and support for an LID to provide sewer service:
1. To discuss with key community representatives the need and level of
support for a sewer LID;
2. To perform a postcard poll of the residents in the service area in
January, 1990; and
3. Report to Committee the results of the community response.
The Committee concurred in the recommendation and requested that staff
review the questionnaire with the Committee prior to mailing. MOVED BY

CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Planning and Planning and Development Committee Chairman Reed presented a report
Development Committee regarding the Honey Creek Preliminary Planned Unit Development. The
PUD: Preliminary, Honey Committee met twice on the matter with the last meeting being held on
Creek, PPUD-015-84 12/7/89. The purpose of the meeting was to review the access problems
concerning the project, particularly the inability to expand NE 23rd Street to
a full City street, and assess alternate street plans. The Committee was
presented with the following street plan, to which the developer has agreed:
EMERGENCY ACCESS:
The City owns twenty feet of right-of-way on the extension of NE 23rd.
The Fire Department has indicated that is sufficient right-of-way to build
emergency access. There are two reasons why twenty feet of paved surface
are not necessary. First, the twenty feet of paved surface normally
anticipates two-way traffic. There will be one-way traffic only. Second,
there will be no structures adjacent to the twenty foot emergency access so
December 11, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 340
there will be no need for the Fire Department to stop its vehicle and set it up
to fight fires, an additional reason why twenty foot access is normally
desirable. For these reasons, there is more than adequate right-of-way
available with twenty feet, even if the developer is required to build
retaining walls.
STREET IMPROVEMENTS:
1. The developer will improve the road on its project to the city standards
from the main entrance northward and just beyond the hairpin turn to
the point at which the road turns into parking lots. It is anticipated that
the road will be dedicated to the city. Sidewalks will be installed only
on one side of the street.
2. The developer will improve the off-site roadway, Jefferson Avenue NE
from subject site to Harrington Avenue NE, as follows:
a. Provide new street construction to city standards which will include
but not be limited to curbs, gutters, sidewalks and street lighting.
b. Negotiate the removal of the single combination power and
telephone pole on this short segment of Jefferson Avenue NE and
provide underground service to the duplex and four-plex located at
2011 and 2012 Jefferson Avenue NE which would be impacted by
the removal of the overhead power and telephone conductors.
3. The developer will install the following school safety improvements:
a. A thermoplastic marked school crosswalk crossing Harrington
Avenue NE on the west side of Jefferson Avenue NE with
appropriate signing should be required.
b. Approximately 550 feet of raised curb, gutter, sidewalk and street
lighting on Harrington Avenue NE, south side, from Jefferson
Avenue NE to the Hillcrest Elementary School parking lot entrance.
The raised curbing would also require appropriate storm drainage.
The developer has indicated that he wishes to replace several of the buildings
on the project and the staff has indicated that it believes that this is a major
modification to the PUD. The Planning and Development Committee
believes that the project has gone through so many changes and the Council
has received so much information that a full compilation of what has
occurred needs to be undertaken. Therefore, the Planning and Development
Committee of the City Council recommends as follows:
1. A staff report shall be prepared setting forth the factual background of
this PPUD and establishing findings of fact, conclusions and a proposed
decision. The format used shall be essentially that used by the hearing
examiner.
2. The staff's proposal will be tendered to the City Council and the Council
will establish a public hearing date on the modifications to the PUD and
the proposed changes to the traffic plan.
3. The staff report will be presented to the hearing examiner at the same
time it is presented to the City Council. The hearing examiner shall
have two weeks to review the report for completeness and accuracy and
make recommendations to the City Council, if any, for additions,
corrections, or deletions to the proposed staff report. MOVED BY
REED, SECONDED BY MATHEWS, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE
COMMITTEE REPORT. Upon inquiry, Chairman Reed reported that
notice of the public hearing will be posted in the vicinity of the site and
published in the local newspaper as required by law. MOTION

CARRIED.
PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Annexation: May Valley in accordance with City policy, Mayor Clymer opened the public meeting to
consider the May Valley 10% annexation petition. The annexation proponent,
The Leavitt Companies, proposes the annexation of 45 parcels of property
totalling approximately 88.52 acres. The subject site is located east of the
existing Renton corporate limits in the vicinity of 148th Avenue SE and SE
May Valley Road adjacent to the Summerwind single-family development.
Principal Planner Nancy Laswell Morris described the two-stage annexation ..r
process which begins this date with a public meeting to consider the 10%
notice of intent application, and will be followed at a later date by a public
hearing to consider the 60% annexation petition. She advised that at the
second stage, a detailed cost/benefit analysis would be prepared by staff.
Referring to vicinity maps, Senior Planner Mark Isaacson pointed out the
location of the subject site; described the applicant's proposal to purchase
approximately 58 of the 88 acres in the annexation territory for development
of approximately 145 single family homes on 9,000-10,000 square foot lots;
and indicated that the proposal represents a logical extension of City
boundaries and services.
Mr. Isaacson explained that while Renton development regulations would
allow approximately 150 new single family homes, the subject site would
permit development of approximately 85 new single-family dwellings in King
County. County regulations would require providing a setback for May
Creek wetlands, combining 15,000 square-foot parcels and one unit/acre
clustering in the development area, using 30% of land for internal vehicle
circulation, and leaving acreage unchanged which is not part of the Leavitt
Companies' development plans.
The three alternative courses of action available to the City Council were
explained by Mrs. Laswell-Morris: 1) deny the 10% Notice of Intent Petition;
2) accept the 10% Notice of Intent Petition and authorize the applicant to
circulate a 60% Annexation Petition; and 3) accept the 10% Notice of Intent
Petition and direct staff to establish a mediation process between the
annexation proponent and representatives of the community while continuing
to the 60% annexation petition stage.
Councilmembers noted that the Renton zoning code does not include a rural
zoning classification, and discussed the possibility of negotiating a contract
rezone/annexation which would be consistent with the Newcastle Plan. Staff
and City Attorney Warren indicated that conditions may be imposed on the
annexation which would meet the intent of the Newcastle Plan. In addition,
conservancy zones required as conditions of the Shoreline Master Program
and the City's tree cutting ordinance would provide further environmental
protection for the area.

December 18. 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 347
Upon Council inquiry, staff indicated the location of Fire Station No. 12 in
the Highlands, and reported that the Comprehensive Plan update by the
Planning Commission will not be completed prior to review of the subject
proposal by the City. Staff also explained that because the parcel of property
north of the Summerwind plat is served by City water but not City sewer,
there would be no motivator for that parcel to annex unless septic failure
occurred.
Testimony from the annexation proponent was invited. Donald Leavitt, 301
116th SE, Bellevue, indicated that he develops and sells individual lots to
local builders, resulting in versatile housing rather than a standard
r.. subdivision. He stated his intent to protect existing trees on site by requiring
a non-refundable $3,000 tree deposit from builders, and requested approval
of the annexation proposal to allow connection to City sewer and water lines.
Roger Wagoner, 301 116th Avenue SE, development designer, showed slides
of the vicinity, and pointed out designations on the Newcastle Community
Plan for sensitive areas, May Creek, forest land and new single family
development. He indicated that at 10,000 square feet, the proposed lots are
larger than the size specified in the Zoning Code; and the size of the homes
will range from 2,000 to 3,000 square feet. Also planned are a landscape
buffer along the western side of the property adjacent to Summerwind and
trails in other areas of open space on the site.
Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Leavitt advised that if a preliminary plat for the
site currently under review by the City is not approved, the annexation will
be abandoned. He also pointed out that traffic mitigation fees required by
the City will contribute towards the cost of signalization, road widening, and
sidewalks; however, if the property is developed in King County, traffic
mitigation would not be required.
Testifying in opposition to the proposal were: Everett Willcock, 11830 164th
Avenue SE, Renton; Andrew Duffus, 9605 143rd Avenue SE, Renton,
representing Neighbors for May Valley; Ed Horn, 14704 SE 100th Street,
Renton; and John Affolter, 10218 147th Avenue SE, Renton, Neighbors for
May Valley. Opponents submitted signatures from 70 people turned away
from the meeting since the room was full; submitted a petition signed by 150
residents supporting preservation of May Valley Road as a recreation
corridor; indicated that they are working with the King County Council to
preserve the rural character of May Valley Road for use by horseback riders,
bicyclists, and joggers; discussed inadequacy of City fire and police service to
serve the subject site; and pointed out potential traffic problems and safety
hazards resulting from increased traffic on Coal Creek Parkway and May
Valley Road. Opponents also thought that the annexation would violate State
law in creating illogical City boundaries and peninsulas of unincorporated
area; and would impact the May Creek watershed and wetland areas
designated for preservation. They cited State law which protects residents
from being annexed against their will and requires neutrality by cities on
matters of annexation; described history of the May Valley Co-op; and
indicated that protection of the forest is desired by residents to maintain a
privacy buffer.
Council members noted potential impacts resulting from traffic generation
and septic systems if the property is developed in King County rather than
the City, and asked whether opponents felt that King County would be
responsive to residents' concerns. Speaking for opponents, Mr. Willcock
related experience working with King County officials and indicated the
desire to work with both the County and the City to preserve community
values and manage growth. He also reported that protection of May Valley
Road and the rural character of the area is of prime concern to residents.
Countering in support of the annexation were Larry Smith, 1301 5th Avenue,
Suite 3400, Seattle, attorney for the proponent; and Mike Merritt, 14408 SE
100th Street, Renton, owner of property in the annexation scope. They
pointed out that a 61% majority of residents favor annexation; and some
residents of Summerwind in the City are opposed to the annexation in an
attempt to preserve the existing forest, a natural amenity not likely to remain.
Other comments indicated that quality development will protect the natural
beauty of the area; mitigate existing storm water runoff problems; encourage
single family growth to regain high school triple A sports rating; and
eliminate an attractive nuisance for all-terrain vehicles and the potential for
fires in the woods.
December 18, 1989 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 348
Countering in opposition to the annexation were Lee Strom, 10269 147th
Avenue SE, Renton, representing May Valley Coop; Bob Brady, 13042 51st
Street SE, Issaquah, Chair of Issaquah Annexation Committee; and Jim
Bonwell, 9616 146th Avenue SE, Renton. They indicated that annexation was
not discussed when Coop members voted to sell the forested area; the
annexation would result in an irregular boundary line; and annexation would
result in higher taxes, higher utilities charges, restrictions on farm animals,
and change in addresses. It was also pointed out that the City of Issaquah is
considering adopting a rural type of zoning classification; the Issaquah School
District, in which the subject site is located, will certify to the developer that
area schools are at capacity and the development must be postponed; wildlife
such as salmon, blue heron, Canadian geese, etc. will be endangered by the
proposed development; and new, larger homes will be incompatible with
existing homes in the area.
Staff reiterated the three alternatives available to Council. It was MOVED

Transportation Transportation Committee Chairman Mathews presented a report regarding
Committee closure of the Bosely easement road. The Committee met on 11/30/89 to
Streets: NE Sunset discuss the issue of the closure of an easement road, commonly referred to as
Boulevard Driveway the Bosely Road. The staff indicated that under its current design, the road
Access, Duvall Avenue was unsafe, and widening of Sunset Boulevard NE made the safety issue
NE (Summerwind) more critical. Therefore, it was the recommendation of the Committee that
the City close the easement road when an acceptable alternative access-way
has been approved by the Public Works Department and constructed through
the plat of Summerwind. The Committee further recommended that the city
attorney investigate and report back on the City's monetary exposure for a
potential taking of property due to this closure. In any event, it was felt that
the safety issue is so overriding that the City's exposure to damages due to a
taking is less than the exposure to damages due to an accident. MOVED BY
MATHEWS, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE
COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Mr. Maertens asked to be notified of
future meetings regarding this matter.
Citizen Comment: Webb - Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, spoke against location of a

Council make a motion requesting the Administration to express opposition to
the facility in a letter to King County.

- Use of City Vehicles been parked during early morning hours on NE 12th Street and Edmonds
Avenue NE, and he questioned whether the vehicle is being driven for

allows certain employees on call to take vehicles home, but pointed out that
other personal use of City vehicles is prohibited.

group, Don Jacobson complimented staff for their able assistance, and

the North Soos Creek Fiscal Impact Study. The group was asked to identify
issues to be reviewed in further phases of the study, review the proposed
work schedule and budget for the next phase of the study, and make a
recommendation about when a public opinion survey is needed.
After meeting with the North Soos Creek Citizens Advisory Board (Fairwood
residents), the committee recommended the following: commence Phase II
work, hire one full-time employee ($46,000), ask staff to resubmit a more
detailed work program and budget for the remainder of Phase II work, and
conduct a statistically valid survey of Renton public opinion as part of Phase
II review.

as a result of annexation, and the need for evaluation of issues such as
multifamily development policy, animal control, differences in business
regulations, and political representation.

Committee not recommended districting to assure proper representation to residents nor
recommended giving Renton residents the opportunity to vote on the
annexation.
Don Jacobson responded that he has been a Renton resident for 48 years. He
expressed his opinion that districting was not an issue with which the

fairly represented the entire community in the past.
Citizen Comment: Collier Ray Collier, 17115 136th Place SE, Renton, resident of Fairwood Crest,
- North Soos Creek reported that annexation of the North Soos Creek area would increase the
Annexation current Renton population of 38,940 by 42,000 people, and new residents
would constitute a majority of the total city population. He felt it would
behoove elected officials to consider districting to preclude being outvoted by
Fairwood residents if the annexation is approved.
Citizen Comment: Garrett Glenn Garrett, 1006 South 30th Court, Renton, recalled that districting was
- North Soos Creek discussed by the committee, but members agreed that the merits of the

Public Safety Committee Public Safety Committee Chairman Zimmerman presented a report regarding
Police: King County Jail the possible location of temporary or permanent jail facilities in or adjacent
Facility to the City of Renton. The Committee expressed its opposition to the
location of a temporary jail facility in the City of Renton. The following
criteria were established for the location of any permanent jail facility in the
City: a setback from residential uses similar to those imposed for adult
motion picture theaters, mitigation of transportation impacts, and projection
of central location for the year 1995 or 2000. Since an immediate response
was required on the matter, a letter signed by the Mayor and Council
President expressing the Committee's views was sent on 12/21/89, to the
King County Jail Project Coordinator. This topic will remain in the Public
Safety Committee for further review as necessary. MOVED BY

Landfill Site of the Mt. Olivet landfill for deposit of construction debris. The city
attorney indicated that the capacity of the Mt. Olivet landfill site may be
exceeded within three months depending upon the number of trucks
depositing material at the site. He also discussed the current volume of truck

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been published and posted
Vacation: VAC-89-003, in accordance with local and State law, Mayor Clymer opened the public
NW 3rd Street, Storybook hearing to consider the petition submitted by Storybook Homes for vacation
Homes, Sundholm's of the south half (30 foot width) of NW 3rd Street from Lind Avenue SW to
Addition Maple Avenue SW adjacent to Sundholm's Addition, File No. VAC-003-89.
The vacation is requested to allow driveway access to be provided to a three-
lot plat. Correspondence was read from the Board of Public Works
recommending the following conditions since the existing topography shows a
24% slope which is not desirable for roadway purposes:
1) Vacate the south 30 feet in width, south half of the right of way from
Lind Avenue NW to 150 feet east of Lind Avenue NW (property on both
sides has already been vacated);
2) Retain easements for future utilities, both private and public;
3) Require 20-foot minimum width on access driveway with turnaround
hammerhead;
4) Include property survey in documentation;
5) Assign Class "B" designation to the vacation since no public funds have
been expended in the acquisition, improvement or maintenance of same.
The staff report was presented by Paul Lumbert, Customer Services Division,
Public Works Department. Referring to vicinity maps, Mr. Lumbert
described the proposal, indicated the location of the property above the
Renton Municipal Airport on the west side of Rainier Avenue South, and
advised the purpose of the vacation to allow the proponent to obtain access
via a 20-foot driveway to lot three of the plat. He pointed out that the
proponent would be required to submit drainage plans to collect any water
that goes down the steep driveway which would be deposited into a closed
system and taken down to a ditch at the bottom of Maple Avenue NW. Due
to the 24% slope, the vacation area was determined by staff to be undesirable
to serve as public access for the City to maintain. Mr. Lumbert reviewed
staff comments as follows:
1) Property Management/Public Works: Has made field check and
acknowledges correspondence between petitioners and representatives of
City but clarifies that portions of 60-foot wide NW 3rd Street lying
between Lind and Stevens and between Maple Avenue NW and Taylor
Avenue NW are vacated.
2) Utility Engineering/Public Works: Recommends denial of street vacation
since an easement will be required over the entire south 30 feet to
maintain sanitary sewer line and future expansion of watermain.
3) Transportation Services/Public Works: Recommends denial of street
vacation since a street should be eventually provided for future
development.
13
January 15, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 13
4) Zoning Division/Community Development: Recommends denial of
vacation unless utilities can be located outside vacated area, and if public
roadway was determined undesirable due to steep slope.
5) Street Maintenance and Storm Drainage Divisions (Public Works), Fire
Prevention, and Police Department have no objections to the vacation as
long as emergency access is provided and a utility easement is retained
for storm drainage. Other utilities companies do not have facilities in
the area and have no objections to the vacation.
Audience comment was invited. Barbara Little, 264 Maple Avenue NW,
Renton, expressed concern regarding volume of storm water draining from
the subject site onto her property to the east, noting previous flooding and
need for City to rebuild her yard. According to Mr. Lumbert, the developer
would be required to install proper storm drainage facilities to the City's
satisfaction. Responding to Mrs. Little's concern that construction of a street
is not feasible due to the steep grade, Mr. Lumbert clarified that the access
would be a private driveway not open to the public along with a hammerhead
for use as a turnaround.
Tom Campbell, Storybook Homes, P.O. Box 2814, Kirkland, described
drainage plans to prevent storm water from flowing to the east and crossing
Maple Avenue NW.
Pointing out that the subject property was platted in 1890, City Attorney
Warren cited a 1899 law which automatically vacated any right of way
dedicated on the face of the plat which was not open for a public street
within five years of its dedication. Although the law was later repealed, the
subject property may have been vacated by force of that law, and the City
should pass an ordinance vacating that property. Discussion was held
regarding location of required off-site improvements if the roadway is
already vacated.
Leon Little, 261 Maple Avenue NW, Renton, asked that the scope of the
vacation be expanded to include lot four of the plat. The City Attorney
explained that if it is found that the vacation was not previously approved by
force of state law, lot four could not be included in any event without
changing the scope of the legal publication for the hearing.
r
Mr. Campbell, the proponent, clarified his original intent to construct an
entire street to serve the plat; however, the vacation was requested at the
recommendation of staff. He pointed out that the next street to the south has
the identical topography as the subject street, and serves as a public access
road. Upon inquiry by Council, the city attorney responded that if it is
determined that the street is already vacated, the city could retain necessary
easements through the doctrine of adverse possession; and the entire 60-foot
width could be included in the vacation ordinance. To allow time for the
city attorney to research the matter, it was MOVED BY MATHEWS,
SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL TABLE THIS MATTER FOR
ONE WEEK TO ALLOW THE CITY ATTORNEY TO DETERMINE
WHETHER THE STREET HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY VACATED.
CARRIED.
AUDIENCE COMMENT George Post, 1122 S. 27th Place, Renton, representing Victoria Hills residents,
Citizen Comment: Post - asked whether the January 15, 1990, deadline for completion of construction
Victoria Hills Phase II of the Victoria Hills apartments has been extended. If so, Mr. Post
FPUD-042-85 questioned why the extension was granted, and asked whether all site work
would be completed by the extended date. He indicated that widening of
Benson Road has not yet begun, and by letter of 8/7/89, the public works
director had stated that if that road was not widened to five lanes, a final
permit for the apartments could not be granted. Pointing out that occupancy
of the apartments was granted on 8/16/89, Mr. Post cited City Code section
4-3402 which states that temporary occupancy can only be granted for 90
days. Mayor Clymer concurred in Mr. Post's request that he be provided a
response to his questions.

January 15, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 14
Citizen Comment: Vaupel Versie Vaupel, P.O. Box 755, Renton, distributed copies for the record of an
- Council Appointment editorial published in the Valley Daily News on 1/15/90. The editorial
concerned the process of appointing a replacement for the Council seat
vacated by Councilman John Reed. Ms. Vaupel cited policies of the League
of Women Voters for providing adequate notice of proposed action, holding
open meetings, and conducting deliberations openly in compliance with the
Open Meeting Act (OMA). She pointed out that telephone calls between
Council members may be a violation of the OMA, and urged Council to
establish a clean process of selection to assure fair and equal treatment of all
candidates for the open position. City Attorney Warren advised that a
telephone call between two Council members cannot constitute action which
would violate the open meetings act: a majority of the Council must join in
a telephone discussion on how to fill the vacancy for a violation to have
occurred.
Citizen Comment: Richter Marge Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue N., Renton, pointed out that Council
- Council Appointment had delayed filling Councilman Hughes'vacated seat last year, and questioned
the expediency of the appointment at this time. She commended Mayor
Clymer for efforts in protecting interests of both residents and industry, and
felt that the former mayor should have run for election last fall if she had
been interested in serving on the Council.
Citizen Comment: Webb - Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, opposed Council making an
Council Appointment appointment to the vacant Council seat outside the formal process, and cited
actions taken by the former mayor with which he disagreed. He suggested
several names of potential candidates which included those who ran
unsuccessfully for Council seats last fall.
Citizen Comment: Evans Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11th Place, Renton, stated that although he believed
- Council Appointment that both former Councilman Tom Trimm and former Mayor Barbara
Shinpoch had served the City long and honorably, new leaders must be
allowed to develop and enable the City to stand on its own. He also
disagreed that an emergency exists because Council has two new members,
and he suggested several names of potential candidates for the open seat who
are not newcomers to City government.
Citizen Comment: Vickers Larry Vickers, 13419 SE 141st, Renton, felt that it insults the abilities of
- Council Appointment others in the City to state that the City cannot get along without any one
individual. He preferred that the open seat be filled from the list of
candidates who ran unsuccessfully for Council office during last fall's
election.
Citizen Comment: Barbara Shinpoch, 361 Maple Avenue NW, Renton, stated that she had not
Shinpoch - Council discussed the appointment to the open Council seat with anyone with the
Appointment exception of Council President Nancy Mathews who had called last week to
ask permission to place Mrs. Shinpoch's name in nomination. She indicated
that she had not sought the appointment; however, she is qualified to serve
by virtue of her experience, and planned to present her credentials to Council
at an open forum. Mrs. Shinpoch offered a list of other qualified candidates
whom she felt Council should consider before making a selection. (See later
presentation.)
Council President Mathews read a statement indicating that Council has not
made a decision on how to select or who to select to fill the vacant Council
seat; and her purpose in telephoning Council members was to indicate her
intent to nominate Mrs. Shinpoch. She noted that although there is no
established process, it has always been the Council's intent to consider all
requests on the open Council floor in compliance with State law. In view of
limited 30-day period in which to make the appointment and only two
opportunities remaining in which to take action (this Council meeting and the
Council meeting of 1/22/90), Mrs. Mathews asked for the Council's pleasure
in setting a special meeting on January 29th to allow extension of the +�
selection process.
Citizen Comment: Vaupel In support of holding a special meeting, Versie Vaupel cited state law which
- Council Appointment allows a special meeting to be called with 24-hour notice to Council
members.

Citizen Comment: Dubois Peggy Dubois, 2907 Mountain View Avenue North, Renton, urged Council to
- Council Appointment decide on a selection process this date to fill the vacant Council seat to ensure
preservation of trust with residents of the City.
Council members Stredicke, Zimmerman and Edwards indicated support of
open meeting law and extending a formal invitation to interested candidates
to present their credentials. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler did not object
to setting a special meeting but preferred that it be scheduled on a Monday
night. Upon inquiry, the city attorney cited State law which states that the
mayor shall appoint from the list of Council's nominees if Council cannot
reach consensus within the 30-day period. Mayor Clymer indicated that he
would wait until after February 5, 1990, to make an appointment should
Council come to impasse.
Citizen Comment: Tozer - Bill Tozer, 905 N. 36th, Renton, preferred that Council fill the open seat
Council Appointment with a candidate who has not served in the past, and move forward not
backward.
Citizen Comment: Grant David Grant, 1455 S. Puget Drive, #A-304, Renton, urged that Council avoid
- Council Appointment the appearance of unfairness and look for diversity in its selection.
Citizen Comment: Evans Ralph Evans asked whether the names of all nominees would be sent to the
- Council Appointment Mayor even if they did not receive votes from Council.
Citizen Comment: Long - Dixon Long, 131 Garden Avenue North, Renton, felt that the newspaper
Council Appointment editorial was misunderstood by some people. He felt that much time could
have been saved by getting directly to the issue of the appointment process.
Moved by Stredicke, seconded by Zimmerman, Council go on record as
asking anyone interested in filling the vacant Council position to file notice
with the Clerk by 5:00 p.m. on January 22, 1990, and a special Council
meeting will be held on January 29, 1990, to interview those candidates.

..• Planning and regarding the appeal filed by Henderson Homes of the hearing examiner's
Development Committee denial of the Summerwind 04 final plat. The property is located north of
Appeal: Henderson NE Sunset Boulevard between 139th SE and 144th SE, if extended. The
Homes Final Plat, Committee met on January 17, 1990, to consider the appeal, and
Summerwind #4, recommended that the Council reject the recommendation of the hearing
FP-103-89 examiner, approve the final plat, and refer the matter to the Ways and Means
Committee for drafting of the necessary legislation.
At the time of the review of the final plat request by the hearing examiner,
there were two issues that led him to recommend denial of the final plat.
Those issues were as follows:
1. Objection by the Parks Department because the final plat did not contain
adequate recreational amenities; and
2. The final drainage plan was not approved and installed.
Since the time of the appeal, representatives of Summerwind and the city's
Parks Department have met and resolved their dispute. The Parks
Department has withdrawn its objection by memorandum dated January 9,
1990. The drainage plans have been approved and the drainage facilities
installed. The drainage system worked well during the recent storm.
The committee could have remanded the matter back to the hearing examiner
for preparation of a new recommendation. However, this matter has been
delayed because of the holidays, and the points raised by the hearing
examiner have been clearly satisfied. Therefore, the Committee chooses to
... recommend approval of the final plat to the Council. MOVED BY

Correspondence was read from Public Works Director Lynn Guttmann
recommending approval of the street vacation at no additional fee, and
requirement of a utility easement over the entire 60 feet of the proposed
vacation. City Attorney Fontes indicated finding that the street is already
vacated since it falls under the authority of an 1890 law which vacated the
street if it was not opened for public use within five years. Referencing
concerns regarding drainage expressed by residents at the public hearing on
January 15th, Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler asked for a status report by
staff. Administrative Assistant McFall reported that concerns by residents
have been relayed to staff and will be addressed during the permit process.
Vacation proponent Tom Campbell, P.O. Box 2814, Kirkland, requested a
refund of the street vacation fee already paid and waiver of additional fees
since the matter is moot. Mr. McFall advised that the applicant could file a
claim against the city for refund of the fee. Council President Mathews

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Zoning: Annual Adoption in accordance with local and State law, Mayor Clymer opened the public
of Map hearing to consider the annual zoning map. Referring to the map, Principal
Planner Don Erickson reported that since the last update on 12/23/88 which
included Ordinance #4196, Council has adopted 23 land use changes
including 21 rezones totaling 65.21 acres, and two annexations totaling 10.48
acres. Maps and specific information pertaining to each rezone were
distributed. Mr. Erickson noted that adoption of the annual zoning map was
implemented under the authority of Ordinance 3598, adopted in 1982, which
also required reversion of rezoned property to original zoning if development err
did not occur within a specific time period.
Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11th Place, Renton, went on record as opposing the
zoning map as the official document for the City's zoning since it is updated
only once per year. Mr. Erickson clarified that the City's Zoning Code
makes it clear that the text of the Zoning Act will prevail over the map if
any conflict between the two exists. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED
BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,
COUNCIL ADOPT THE ANNUAL 1990 ZONING MAP, AND REFER

CARRIED. Councilman Stredicke requested an update of the booklet of
maps prepared for Council six years ago by staff.
Vacation: VAC-89-004, This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
SW 31st Street, Glacier in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Clymer opened the public
Park Company hearing to consider the petition submitted by Glacier Park to vacate a portion
of SW 31st Street, a 500-foot-long cul-de-sac located east of Longacres
Parkway between Oakesdale Avenue SW and Springbrook Creek, File No.
VAC-004-89. Correspondence was read from the Board of Public Works
ascertaining the following information:
1. The area was platted as Burlington Northern Industrial Park, Renton II,
in July of 1979.
2. SW 31st Street cul-de-sac east of Oakesdale Avenue SW was never
constructed.
3. Puget Power and Washington Natural Gas have facilities in this area and
need easements; U.S. West and TCI cable do not require easements.
4. Water and sanitary sewer easements require easements for existing water
main and sanitary sewer main stubs that lie east of the easterly right-of-
way of Oakesdale Avenue SW.
The Board recommended that Council:
1. Approve the vacation with assignment of Class "C" classification, since
the abutting property owners could have substantial monetary gain from
acquisition of the right-of-way;
2. Direct the applicant to obtain an independent M.A.I. appraisal of the
market value of the portion of the street to be vacated and the market
value of Lot 1, cost of the appraisal to be borne by the applicant;
3. Require all utility easements, private and public, to be completed with
the platting process.
Office Engineer Paul Lumbert presented the staff report and indicated the
purpose of the vacation to allow the property owner to replat the
manufacturing park-zoned site and construct a single development on lots 2
and 5 and portions of lot 6 and 11. He advised that City departments have
reviewed and approved the vacation. However, since the Valley
Transportation Improvement Program shows the extension of SW 31st Street
from Oakesdale Avenue SW to Raymond Avenue SW through a sensitive
wetland, staff recommends amendment of the VTIP to show an alternative
proposal for traffic circulation. Upon inquiry, Mr. Lumbert advised that no
improvements have been installed on SW 31st except at its connection with
Oakesdale, where curbing and utility stubs exist.
Audience comment was invited. Kerrick Mainrender, 405 S. 7th Street,
Renton, expressed concern regarding future use of the wetland property and
pointed out that the area provides a natural habitat for wildlife. She
requested that a buffer be provided between the warehouse facility and the
wetland and that access to the warehouse be located on the south side of the
lot, opposite the wetland area.
February 5, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Pau 35
Mark Stiefel, 1201 3rd Avenue, Suite 900, Seattle, Glacier Park Company,
engineer for the applicant, noted that the vacation petition has been
submitted in conjunction with other land use applications to reconfigure the
site. He indicated that by vacating the cul-de-sac and short platting portions
of the site which have been filled, the applicant will have three marketable
lots available, with preservation of Lot 1 to the north as an existing wetland
not proposed for development.
Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Stiefel advised that Lot 2 was filled in the mid-
70's and there is no proposal to fill Lot 1 since it is to be reserved as a
wetland. He also responded that very little of the original platted property
has been developed recently and the shopping center proposal by David Sabey
has been postponed.
Discussion was held regarding the traffic circulation pattern in the area. It
was noted that the P-1 Channel and Oakesdale Avenue are adjacent to each
other and will extend to 27th Street at the north end of the City's wetland
property. At Council request, Mr. Lumbert explained the procedure for
vacation prior to review of the plat which will be heard by the hearing
examiner at a subsequent public hearing.
Referencing the applicant's request for release of pedestrian easement to be
presented later by the Utilities Committee, Ms. Mathews indicated that if the
short plat is approved, a new 20-foot pedestrian easement would extend to
Oakesdale Avenue and Springbrook Creek along the southern portion of
replatted Lot 1, thereby providing an additional buffer for the wetland area.
Linda Hoffman, Glacier Park Company, 1011 Western Avenue, Suite 100,
Seattle, responded to questions about protection of the wetland and the future
of Lot 1. She confirmed that the applicant does not intend to develop future
Lot 1. Mayor Clymer discussed foresight of the City Council approximately
18 years ago in preserving 20 acres of wetland property for wildlife habitat.
Responding to further Council inquiry, Administrative Assistant McFall
clarified that the property, now divided into several lots, is essentially being
consolidated to allow replat into two lots, one for development and the other
for wetland purposes. Access will be provided into the new single lot with a
curb cut from the street, and if development of the lot into smaller lots is
proposed at a later date, access to the street would be reviewed at that time.
City Attorney Warren added that development of the wetland area is unlikely
due to restrictions in issuing permits by the Corp of Engineers.

Finance: Code Book This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Revision in accordance with local and State law, Mayor Clymer opened the public
hearing to consider adoption of the revised Renton Municipal Code. Finance
Director Dan Clements reported that the Code book was revised as part of a
major effort undertaken in 1989 to make municipal information easier to
access. He reviewed major changes which included repeal of outdated
chapters and repeal of provisions which are duplicated in City policies and
procedures; transfer of chapters related to funding and fees to Title V,
Business & Finance, and transfer of chapters related to utilities to Title VIII,
Health & Sanitation; addition or update of chapters governing departments
and boards; and refinement and expansion of the general index.
Audience comment was invited. Versie Vaupel, P.O. Box 755, Renton,
referenced City Code Title 4-6-23 governing administrative appeals
procedures, and suggested that the Code language be clarified to assist the
layman in following concurrent City and State appeal processes.
February 5. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 36
Darrell Igelmund, 3602 Lake Washington Boulevard, representing North
Renton/Kennydale Defense Fund, discussed appeals filed by residents on the
Boeing environmental impact statement (EIS) regarding mitigation of noise.
He indicated that appeals were dismissed at a pre-hearing conference held by
the hearing examiner due to failure of appellants to file a concurrent appeal
of the shoreline permit to the State. Mr. Igelmund objected that the City
Code did not cross-reference the two appeal procedures nor was information
forthcoming from staff on the necessity for a concurrent appeal. City
Attorney Warren advised that the City Code references the Revised Code of
Washington (RCW) and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) sections
on appeals pertaining to the joining of appeals, and the adoption of the
language contained in the City Code is required by the State. He also
clarified that the subject of the public hearing is solely the reorganization of
the existing City Code, and no section has been substantively changed. Any
change to the appeals procedure would require independent modification by
adoption of a separate ordinance.
Councilwoman Zimmerman asked for clarification of repeal of chapters
which were replaced by policies and procedures. Mr. Warren reported that
chapters which are duplicated in the City's policy and procedure manual, i.e.
Council procedures and internal personnel policies, have been removed from
the codified City laws to conserve cost of publication of ordinances.

Citizen Comment: Evans annual zoning map, and questioned the discrepancy between reversion dates
- Good Shepherd Rezone of rezones for Good Shepherd on 19th (April, 1990) and on Olympia Avenue

covenants.
Citizen Comment: Post - George Post, 1122 S. 27th Place, Renton, representing Victoria Hills residents,
Victoria Hills FPUD questioned whether a new PUD would be approved for Victoria Hills Phase II
since the existing PUD has expired, and widening of Benson Road has not
been completed. He cited comments by the public works director in August,
1989, which indicated that a final permit would not be issued without
completion of off-site improvements, and he questioned responsibility for
payment of cost overrun on the project. Council President Mathews clarified
that following the comments by the public works director, Council postponed
the project to widen the west side of Benson since an application for the east
side had been submitted and it appeared that the projects could be done
jointly. Mr. McFall added that the developer will be responsible for the
improvements and has submitted a bond in an amount to cover the cost of
improving one-half of the Benson Road. Councilman Edwards requested a
report on timing of completion of the project.

PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Annexation: Honey Creek in accordance with City policy, Mayor Clymer opened the public meeting to
Ridge consider the Honey Creek Ridge 10% annexation petition (44.65 acres located
at 124th Avenue SE in the vicinity of SE 100th, near Sierra Heights
Elementary School). The annexation proponent, Lakeridge Development
Corporation, proposes the annexation of 68 parcels of property totalling
approximately 44.65 acres. The subject site is located north and east of the
existing Renton corporate limits in the vicinity of 124th and 125th Avenue
SE and SE 100th and 104th Streets. Principal Planner Nancy Laswell Morris
described the two-stage annexation process which begins this date with a
public meeting to consider the 10% notice of intent application, and will be
followed at a later date by a public hearing to consider the 60% annexation
petition. Referring to vicinity maps, Senior Planner Mark Isaacson pointed
out the location of the subject site and described the applicant's proposal to
develop single-family dwellings on approximately 47.2 acres of land that
currently lie in both the City of Renton and King County. The eastern
portion of the development site, approximately 18.61 acres, is in the proposed
annexation territory. The proponent is seeking the annexation so that the
project may be developed under one jurisdiction. Development of the site
with single-family dwellings will require City Council approval of a plat
application at a later date. Signatures on the annexation petition and signed
covenants to annex constitute 54.7% of the total assessed value within the
proposed annexation area.
Mr. Isaacson explained that all of the City departments evaluating the
proposed annexation found no significant problems relating to their
responsibility as a result of this proposal. Due to existing traffic constraints
in the area, the Traffic Services Division noted that the annexation area
would be accessible only through streets in King County. SE 104th Street,
one of the primary streets used to drive into the area, has a variable right-
of-way, creating difficult driving conditions. Upon annexation and
development of the site, the project proponent will have to extend both water
and sewer services. Local Improvement District (LID) 335 has been proposed
in the area to provide sewer service to the residents in the vicinity of SE
103rd and SE 104th Streets. The sewer lines would be connected to the
February 19, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 52
Honey Creek interceptor with a line following SE 104th Street. Future
development that may result after the proposed annexation would help pay
for a portion of the sewer lines needed to connect the LID to the Honey
Creek interceptor. The proposed annexation represents a logical extension of
the services provided by the respective departments. A majority of reviewing
departments indicated that service to the annexation area can be
accommodated with existing facilities, staff, and budget resources. However,
a detailed cost-revenue estimate will be conducted prior to Council's review
of the 60% Annexation Petition.
The Planning Division staff recommended approval of the 10% Notice of
Intent to Annex as submitted based on the analysis of the project. If Council
concurs in this recommendation, the Planning Division recommended that the
Council make the following motions: 1) accept the 10% Notice of Intent to
Annex as submitted and authorize the circulation of the 60% Annexation
Petition; 2) require the simultaneous imposition of City zoning on the
property; and 3) require the property owners to assume their proportional
share of the City's bonded indebtedness.
Speaking in opposition to the annexation were area residents: James
Ashbaugh, 10300 - 125th Avenue SE, Renton; Vince Wyant, 10204 - 126th
Avenue SE, Renton; David Harden, 10318 - 125th Avenue SE, Renton; Jim
Tertipes, 12504 SE 104th, Renton; Sareth Thach, 10308 - 125th Ave. SE,
Renton; Karen Boswell, 10503 - 126th Ave. SE, Renton; Olin Anderson
10012 - 126th Ave. SE, Renton; Judith Zdilar, 10035 - 126th Ave. SE,
Renton; Lori Segale, 10205 - 126th Ave. SE, Renton. Some of their concerns
were regarding the increased traffic; the existing roads could not handle the
increased number of cars; the undeveloped land is what makes the area so
appealing; development would disturb the wildlife; the price of homes would
not be compatible with existing homes in the surrounding areas; assessment
fees for sewer along the street; date of covenants on these parcels questioned;
objection to repeated attempts to oppose development on the site.
David Casey, Project Manager, Lakeridge Development Corporation, P.O. Box
146, Renton, recommended that the Council go to the next step in the
annexation process. He pointed out that since half of the proposed
development is within the City limits, it would be beneficial to annex the
other half to assure that consistent development standards are met. Lakeridge
Development is working with the Utilities Division, and the LID could
provide savings to the City. Also, the proposal meets the intent of the
Washington State Boundary Review Board to eliminate illogical corporate
boundaries. A major concern is the main access to the area. Lakeridge is
currently working to obtain an additional piece of property in the area to
reduce the impact on neighborhood traffic. The Parks Department worked
with Lakeridge and noted that Honey Creek is a part of the Department's
open space program for acquiring new lands. The project will also meet the
City's requirement for environmentally sensitive areas.
Upon inquiry from the Council, Mr. Casey advised that if the annexation did
not take place, the project would not be feasible for Lakeridge Development.
Sewer development would be required in order for development to be
successful.
Council President Mathews asked whether residents outside the annexation
area would be required to connect to sewers. Mike Benoit, Senior
Engineering Specialist for the City, stated that connection would not be
allowed for residents outside the city unless a health hazard exists, and
Council approval is given.
Following discussion, it was determined that the annexation boundaries
should not be reduced at this time for those residents in the eastern portion
of the proposed annexation who oppose the annexation. If the 10% petition
is approved, the scope of the annexation could be reduced at the hearing to
consider the 60% petition.
Councilman Stredicke questioned the feasibility of improving Devils Elbow
Road as an access to serve the site. Public Works Director Lynn Guttmann
responded that the administration would discourage this because the road is
not currently open to public traffic and the department does not contemplate
opening it to public traffic. The area has difficult terrain, very steep slopes,
and it is difficult to maintain.
53
February 19, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 53
Council President Mathews stated that if the process continues from the 10%
to 60%, the traffic issues still would have to be addressed. Any development
would have to present a study of the traffic impact on the area. The traffic
plan would be required at the platting stage which would give the opponents
another opportunity to express their opposition and concerns. City Attorney
Warren confirmed that a formal platting process requiring a public hearing
would be required by the City.

Planning and Planning and Development Committee Vice Chair Zimmerman presented the
Development Committee majority report regarding the Renton Crown Apartments rezone and site plan
Maiority Report approval appeal.
Appeal: Derus
Development Co. Rezone The applicant requested a rezone of a 7.57 acre lot from B-1, business, to R-
and Site Approval, 3, medium density multi-family, to develop a one hundred and twelve (112)
Renton Crown unit apartment complex. The property is located at the 800-850 block of
Apartments, R-122-88, Rainier Avenue North.
SA-122-88
On February 15, 1990, the committee met to consider the appeal regarding
Renton Crown Apartments. After hearing the applicant and receiving
answers to their questions, the committee found:
1. The demand for housing in the city of Renton is not so great as to
require that this site be used for multi-family dwelling units;
2. The downtown Renton business area is not easily accessible to pedestrian
traffic from this site;
3. The recreational amenities placed in or near paths for vehicular traffic
are not workable; the city does not want to encourage play areas in the
driving areas;
4. The recreational amenities offered by the applicant are inadequate to
support this proposal, and this site is isolated from city recreational
amenities;
5. The applicant indicated that the grading and filling at the site would
create an amphitheater, and this would create some noise problems;
6. The applicant indicated these will be high-rent units; however, it is not
likely that the people who can afford these units will subject themselves
to the noise or isolation attendant to this site;
7. This site was rezoned in 1988 due to a speculative venture which
subsequently failed. There have not been sufficient changes in the
circumstances involving this site to warrant another rezone;
8. The concentration of 112 units with fireplaces may impact air quality
standards in the area; and
9. The subject site is not in an appropriate location for multi-family
dwellings.
Based on the foregoing conclusions, the committee recommended that the
council adopt the recommendation of the hearing examiner and deny the
application for rezone.
February 19, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 54
Planning and Planning and Development Committee Chairman Tanner presented a minority
Development Committee report regarding the Renton Crown Apartments rezone and site plan approval
Minority Report appeal.
Appeal: Derus
Development Co. Rezone The applicant requested a rezone of a 7.57 acre lot from B-1, business, to R-
and Site Approval, 3, medium density multi-family, to develop a one hundred and twelve (112)
Renton Crown unit apartment complex. The property is located at the 800-850 block of
Apartments, R-122-88, Rainier Avenue North.
SA-122-88
The record does not support the hearing examiner's conclusions (conclusions
#2 and #7) that noise is a problem and would make this an inappropriate
site.
The city of Renton prepared an EIS regarding Boeing. On page 7-8 of that
EIS, it is indicated that testing was conducted at location #1 at the west end
of the airport, while "run ups" were being conducted at Apron A (southeast
corner of the airport) and Apron D (south of the stadium). The outcome of
those tests did not result in a finding of a significant adverse impact.
Based on that insufficiency in the record, the hearing examiner should not be
affirmed. Rather, the matter should be remanded to the hearing examiner to
rehear the rezone in conjunction with the site plan. Staff should work with
the applicant on developing a revised site plan. It may be that the staff and
the applicant can agree on mitigating measures which may make this an
appropriate site for multi-family dwellings.
For purposes of the site plan process, however, the staff and applicant should
be concerned with all of the issues raised by the committee, including but not
limited to, air quality, recreation, noise, and ease of access to the downtown
business district.
At this point, without additional work on the site plan, the council should
neither uphold the hearing examiner nor approve the rezone.
It is recommended that the council remand this matter to the hearing
examiner to rehear the rezone in conjunction with the site plan.
Mr. Blaylock requested that site maps from the official file be available for
reference purposes. It was MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY
EDWARDS, COUNCIL CONTINUE THIS MATTER FOR TWO WEEKS TO
PROVIDE SITE MAP. (March 5, 1990). CARRIED.

Community Services Community Services Committee Chairman Zimmerman presented a report
Committee regarding the North Soos Creek Annexation - Renton Citizens Advisory
Annexation: North Soos Committee. The Committee met on 2/20/90 and recommended that the City_
Creek (Fairwood) proceed to Phase I1 in the North Soos Creek annexation study which
addresses the quality of life issues. The Committee also requested referral to
the Ways and Mean Committee for a transfer of funds with the next budget
adjustment ordinance. The study is anticipated to take one year. The next
Council decision would not occur until August 1, 1990, when it would be
decided whether to proceed with the actual annexation. This report pertains
only to the Phase 11 study. The budget proposal for the study includes only
the present fiscal year.
Upon inquiry regarding the total cost for the year, Councilwoman
Zimmerman responded that the budgeted cost would be $101,000. Ms.
Vaupel also inquired about the projected time for the vote of those residents
in the proposed annexation area and for in-city residents. Chairman
Zimmerman stated that a proposed schedule for voting for North Soos Creek
residents is tentatively scheduled for February 1991, and funds currently
appropriated will not cover the election costs. She reiterated that the intent
of the report is to study the quality of life issues. By August 1st,
information should be provided regarding a library, street addresses, and the
quality of life issues that have been addressed. At that point, the Commitee
will come back to Council to determine if and how the Renton vote will be
considered. Ms. Vaupel expressed concern that so much money was being
spent on the study and urged that this issue be taken directly to the voters.

Planner Nancy Laswell-Morris explained that the date of August 1, 1990, is
the date set for a decision by Council whether to proceed with the actual
annexation. Various reports of the study, interlocal agreements, etc. would
not be completed by August 1st.

February 26, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 62
Citizen Comment: Evans Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11th Place, Renton, requested that the City check the
- Zoning Code Violation, activities of residents at a rental located at 1025 Olympia Avenue NE owned
Olympia Avenue NE by Lutheran Church. He expressed concern that the residence may be in
violation of the zoning code, as well as other City codes and regulations
governing garbage and animals. MOVED BY MATHEWS, SECONDED BY
ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL DIRECT ADMINISTRATION TO CONTACT
PROPERTY OWNERS AND ADVISE OF THIS CONCERN AND ASSIST IF
THE CITY CAN. CARRIED.
Citizen Comment: Duffus Andrew Duffus, 9605 143rd Avenue SE, Renton, representing neighbors in
- May Valley Annexation the May Valley area, advised that on December 18, 1989, Council passed a
motion to proceed with an interlocal process for the preservation of the May
Valley area. He distributed a plan for several alternatives for May Valley
recreation corridor. The plan recommends corridors for jogging, equestrian
and bicycle trails. King County publications and maps currently show these
corridors and trails on them. Petitions were circulated and over 200
signatures were obtained which endorsed these recreation corridors. Members
of the Cascade Bicycle Club, Washington State Horse Council and Trails Club
have endorsed the May Valley corridors. This corridor would ultimately run
from Lake Washington to the Cascades. Mr. Duffus requested that Council
follow up on their motion from December 18th, work with city staff and
King County so this idea could become reality. Councilwoman Keolker-
Wheeler asked staff to respond to this issue. Nancy Laswell-Morris stated
that staff had contacted King County regarding entering an interlocal
agreement to help plan this area. Staff found that the King County was not
receptive because the Newcastle Community plan is not currently up for
revision and the only way in which they would enter into an interlocal is
when they are in the process of revising a community plan. Therefore, since
there is no motivation for King County to enter into an interlocal agreement
at the community plan level, and the developer has no interest entering into
an interlocal agreement with the City of Renton because the jurisdiction is
now in King County, the only thing left for staff was to register as party of
record for the state environmental policy act for the local project, prior to
the 3/8/90 public hearing.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler wanted May Valley residents to understand
that since King County was not interested in the project, there was little that
the City could do as discussed earlier at the annexation public meeting.
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL REFER
MATERIAL PRESENTED ON THIS ISSUE TO THE PARKS AND
RECREATION DEPARTMENT AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT WITH A REPORT BACK TO COUNCIL.
Citizen Comment: Webb - Sandy Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, expressed concern regarding
N. Soos Creek the North Soos Creek Annexation project; felt the amount of money spent on
Annexation the study of the proposed annexation is unnecessary; and suggested that to
save money for the City, a vote should be called as soon as possible. For the
record, Councilman Stredicke stated that only Mr. Webb has expressed
support for assigning Council districts.
Citizen Comment: Collier Ray Collier, 17115 136th PI SE, Renton, resident of Fairwood Crest,
- N. Soos Creek responded with support of districting to gain favor with those who oppose
Annexation annexation.

SPECIAL Captain Don Persson of the Renton Police Department and Mayor Clymer
PRESENTATION presented an award to Ruth Rue for completing 500 hours as a volunteer
Police: Volunteer Service with the Police Department. She has worked two days a week in the
Award Detective Division and Records Division respectively. Ms. Rue has accepted
the project of being historian for the Police Department and will compile the
history of the Renton Police Department.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Annexation: Duncan in accordance with local and State law, Mayor Clymer opened the public
hearing to consider the Duncan Annexation 60% annexation petition. The
subject site is 42 acres bounded by Jones and Lincoln Avenues NE, NE 43rd
Street, 112th SE and NE 36th Street. The Duncan Annexation has an assessed
value of $2,090,792. Signatures on covenants to annex and the annexation
petition constitute 72.22% of the total assessed valuation within the proposed
annexation area. The Planning Division proposes the concurrent rezone of
the annexation area to R-1, single family residential zone.
Senior Planner, Mark Isaacson, referred to a vicinity map of the area and
described the annexation proposal. The proposed annexation can be divided wr
into two subareas. The first subarea is approximately 17.4 acres bounded by
Lincoln Avenue NE on the west, NE 43rd Street (SE 80th Street) on the
north, SE 84th Street on the south, and 112th Avenue SE on the east. The
applicant has an option to purchase this area and intends to seek a rezone to
multi-family use consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The second
subarea in the southern half is included within the boundaries of the Duncan
Annexation as a result of Council direction to staff to initiate annexation of
all unincorporated lands within Local Improvement District (LID) 291 to
assure that the City retains land use decision-making authority over lands
guaranteed municipal water supplies.
March 5, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 69
The proposed annexation is a part of an overall annexation strategy to comply
with Council's direction to incorporate all lands within LID 291. Completion
of both Shurgard Annexation and Duncan Annexation will ensure that all
developable lands in LID 291 are subject to the City's development policies,
ordinances, and procedures. Cedar Rim Apartments located between the
Shurgard and Duncan Annexation would continue to remain outside the City
until the property owners agree to annexation. The Shurgard Annexation is
currently before the King County Boundary Review Board.
The City of Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject annexation
territory as a combination of medium and low density multi-family
residential, and single-family residential, which would permit a number of
dwellings ranging from approximately 340 -730 units for the entire proposed
annexation area.
City departments evaluating the proposed annexation indicate that the
proposed annexation represents a logical extension of boundaries of services
provided by their respective department. Fire service is of major concern
due to response time. The service is currently being provided by King
County Fire District 25; response time is currently about three minutes.
Upon annexation, the City of Renton's Fire Station 12 would service the area
and response time would be approximately eight minutes due to distance
from the fire station. The Parks Department noted that the area has been
identified as in need of additional four to five acres of park land. Traffic
Engineering noted that the area is participating in a traffic benefit zone for
completing necessary road improvements.
Upon Council inquiry, Mr. Isaacson clarified that the property would be
reclassified automatically if annexation is approved to R-1, single family
residential zone; however, the property owner has the option of applying to
the hearing examiner for a rezone to a higher density.
Councilman Edwards inquired as to why Cedar Rim Apartments received
only water service from the City. Isaacson explained that at the time the
complex was built, no covenant was required from the owners. Approval for
use of the city's water service was established prior to City policy.
Further Council inquiry regarding emergency response time by the fire
department was answered by Brent McFall, Mayor's Assistant. He stated that
the City has agreements with other fire districts to respond to emergencies, if
necessary. However, it is the primary responsibility of the City to respond to
the service unless there is a mutual aid agreement between the districts
involved. Councilwoman Zimmerman asked staff to elaborate on the fiscal
impact on the City as a result of the annexation.
Isaacson responded by stating that the methodology used to evaluate the fiscal
impact of the annexation area does not account for the tax revenues
generated by future residents who shop in Renton commercial establishments.
Other fees and costs of development are paid for by development proponents
and are not accounted for in the analysis. The analysis indicates that the
annexation could have a negative impact on the fiscal budget of the City.
This has been true with all annexations that exclude commercial property in
the annexation territory.
Audience comment was invited. Pam Miller, 3623 Lincoln Avenue NE,
Renton, expressed concern not over the annexation, but the next step which
would rezone the area to multi-family. She pointed out that this rezone
would impact traffic, the road is very curvy with no room for expansion, and
would invite more transients in the area. She also urged preservation of trees
and objected to proximity of apartments to existing homes.
Robert Patterson, 19110 - 172nd PL SE, Renton, owner of two lots in the
area, supported the annexation proposal. He stated that he had not received
any information regarding the annexation. It was noted by staff that 35
property owners, including Mr. Ptterson, in the area were notified of the
hearing by mail on 2/22/90.
Gary Truce, 8442 - 110th Avenue SE, Renton, supported the annexation
proposal but was opposed to multi-family rezoning since the increased
traffic and potential crime would be a detriment to the community. He
recommended that the area be kept single-family.

Streets: Bosely Access to a design of the alternative access road connecting the private road through a
Sunset Blvd. NE cul-de-sac as part of Summerwind Division No. 5. Adjoining residents who
(Summerwind #5) had participated in a meeting on 2/20/90 were present, and all parties were
in agreement as to appropriateness of the design and location of this
alternative access road. The Committee recommended that the City Council
authorize closure of the private access road at its connection with Sunset
Boulevard NE which would occur only after the alternative access road has
been completed and accepted by the City of Renton and the plat of
Summerwind Division No. 5 recorded, showing whatever dedication is
necessary to permit access of these residents through the plat of Summerwind
Division No. 5. The Committee further recommended that the City obtain an
appraisal of the residence of Arlene Bosely to determine whether or not it is
devalued in any fashion by this change in access. MOVED BY NELSON,

AUDIENCE COMMENT Versie Vaupel, P.O. Box 755, Renton, and Michael Hanis, 3900 East Valley
Citizen Comment: Highway, Suite 203, Renton, attorney for Hanis and Olson, each reported on
Vaupel, Hanis, Richter, the chronology of events regarding the Boeing appeal process involving
Dubois, Igelmund - deadlines for the appeal, meetings between the groups, and the mitigation
Boeing EIS document. Concern was expressed over the fact that the citizen group had
followed the procedures established by the City for filing an appeal and had
decided to take the appeal to court. On February 20, 1990, the group
received an agreement from the City regarding the mitigation measures with
Boeing's Plant Expansion plan. This was received in good faith being assured
that this was the final word. Therefore, the appeal was dropped because of
written confirmation signed by the administration of the City. Upon learning
that the original document had been revised March 7, 1990, the citizen group
desired an explanation.
Mayor Clymer and Assistant McFall assured the group that revisions were
made to clarify language, not to make substantive changes to the mitigation
measures proposed in the February 20th document.
Ken Nyberg, Community Development Director, explained that because
Boeing had some questions regarding the language used in the original
document, his department was prompted to do a clarification and
consolidation of the text due to duplications. These revisions ultimately
produced a second document which clarified the language of the first
document. There was no effort in any way to break the promises which had
been made with the negotiations for noise.
Council discussion followed expressing concern over the publication of the
issuance of Notice of Action in the local newspaper. City Attorney Warren
responded that Boeing had published the Notice of Action of issuance of the
foundation permit, not the City of Renton. The document itself, as attached
to the foundation permit, can be modified only by agreement of all parties;
however, additional permits can have modified conditions.
Marge Richter, 300 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, and Peggy Dubois, 2905
Mountain View North, Renton, representing North Renton/Kennydale
residents, reiterated that they did not expect revisions to the document after
both the citizens group and Boeing had agreed to the document. They
questioned the revision of a legal document without the consent of all parties
involved.
Mr. McFall explained that the document was not a negotiated agreement.
Rather, it contained proposed mitigation measures that the group had agreed
to as acceptable, and was a listing of proposed measures and rationale used to
establish those mitigation measures. He further stated that subsequent
communication with Boeing indicated their desire for clarifications of
language. The changes were not an attempt to change any of the mitigation
measures which had been agreed to by all involved parties.
March 12, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 78
Darrel Igelmund, 3672 Lake Washington Boulevard, Renton, president of the
North Renton/Kennydale Neighborhood Defense Group, described his
frustration with these negotiations. He requested that the original document
be reinstated.
Council members referenced excerpts from the original and revised
documents to demonstrate what they considered to be substantive changes.
City Attorney Warren cautioned Council that the subject being discussed is an
administrative, not a legislative matter, and the legislative body by resolution
may not direct the administrative body on how to resolve this problem.
Council discussion reiterated the need to return to the original document as
the baseline and to work with all parties involved to discuss requested
changes.
Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, expressed frustration and
dissatisfaction over this particular situation and noted difficulties citizens
have had negotiating with a company as large and influential as the Boeing
Company.
MOVED BY TANNER, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL URGE
THE CITY, EITHER THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS WITH BOEING OR
WITH THE NEXT PERMIT, TO APPLY THE ORIGINAL MITIGATION
MEASURES ON THE BOEING EXPANSION PROJECT.*
Council members questioned whether the modified mitigation measures
attached to an existing permit can be modified except through an appeal or
negotiations with Boeing. It was noted that if negotiations with Boeing are
unsuccessful, the City could then apply the original mitigation measures to
the next permit application by Boeing.
Mayor Clymer stated that the three things of primary concern (1) signs on the
trails to warn joggers/walkers, (2) restricted run-up times for engine testing,
and (3) a negotiating committee were all achieved. He advised Boeing's
concern that the limited run-up times would mean a two-hour lull in work
on the field for employees, and regardless of whether the word is "hazardous"
or "uncomfortable", signs on the trail will inform people that there will be
noise from testing. Until such time that the second permit is issued, the
committee can still meet with Boeing, but meantime, the signs will be put up
on the trail and the run-up times limited.
Council inquired as to the complexity and logistics of having two separate
documents on different permits. Mayor Clymer responded that action needs
to be initiated as soon as possible to try to resolve the problem now that the
foundation permit has been issued. The initiation of a conference committee
to discuss these mitigation measures is the next step.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Roger Blaylock, 10717 NE 4th Street, Suite 9, Bellevue, requested Council
Advancement Requested advance to the Planning and Development Committee Report regarding the
Derus Development Company rezone and site approval appeal (Renton Crown
Apartments). MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY
ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE REGULAR ORDER OF
BUSINESS AND ADVANCE TO OLD BUSINESS, PLANNING AND
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Planning & Development Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler reported that this matter was tabled on
Committee 2/19/90 for two weeks and again on 3/5/90 for another two weeks. The
Appeal: Derus Planning and Development Committee majority report which concurred with
Development Co. Rezone the hearing examiner's report to deny the rezone request and the minority
& Site Approval, Renton report which recommended the matter be remanded to the hearing examiner
Crown Apartments, R- to rehear the rezone were read.
122-88, SA-122-88
(For text of minority and majority reports, see Council Minutes of February
19, 1990).
Mr. Blaylock, representing Steve Derus of the Derus Development Company,
stated that the developer was proposing the construction of the Renton Crown
Apartments on 7.75 acres. The request is for a rezone of the area from B-1,
business, to R-3, medium density multi-family, to develop a 112 unit
apartment complex. The subject property is located at the 800-850 block of
Rainier Avenue North. Referring to a zoning map and photograph of the
subject site, Mr. Blaylock presented background information. He reiterated
the reasons why the area should be rezoned for multiple family dwellings
based on the criteria presented in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Blaylock
explained that he has been working with various city departments to comply
with emergency access for fire, sewer and storm drainage, requirements for
grading of driveways, recreational amenities, etc. He requested that the City
Council reconsider the recommendation from the hearing examiner
concerning the rezone and find that the hearing examiner failed to consider
all the Comprehensive Plan policies and issues and overturn his
recommendation and approve the rezone request.
Dean Beaumont, 32123 - 4th Avenue SW, Federal Way, a civil engineer
employed by Public Storage, Inc., located in a business park just north of the
subject site, supported the rezone. He advised that Public Storage has no
intent to purchase the site for expansion purposes and recommended that the
property be rezoned for apartment development. Mr. Beaumont further
stated that he had maintained an office for three years in the office project
and there was never a problem with noise.
Ivan Christianson, 23030 - 164th SE, Kent, stated that he had owned the
subject property since 1978. He reported that after purchasing additional
property which had no utilities on it, he complied with the City's instructions
to install a water line that was later connected to the City's line for the
airport. Due to a drainage problem on the county property above the site, a
culvert was installed as a joint effort by the county, the public storage
March 19, 1990 Renton City Council Minutes. Page 86
owners and himself. He stated that later when the City annexed the
property, the site was rezoned to B-1, business. He noted that because of a
greenbelt on the subject site and square footage, further business
development did not occur. He advised Council that he receives two to three
calls a week inquiring about the property for multiple family housing. Mr.
j Christianson expressed his support to change the zoning to R-3, and noted
that when the City approached him a couple of years ago requesting an
easement onto his property to put a sign up for the gateway to the City, he
complied with their request.
Mr. Christianson referred to a leder from Larry M. Brown, Bro. -r of Star
Properties, Inc., 1900 South Puget Drive, Suite 202, Renton, stating his
support of the rezone due to suitability of the site for multi-family. Mr.
Brown's letter reiterated the lack of interest in commercial development on
the site under the present zoning.
Steve Derus, 1868 SE 42nd Street, Issaquah, rezone proponent, expressed
excitement about the subject site as a multiple family complex because the
project is good for the City of Renton and consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan. Mr. Derus explained that the development plans do comply with the
criteria as appropriate location for multi-family units. He reiterated that the
need for rezone was evidenced by the fact that the seller has not been able to
develop the property since 1978 under the B-1 zoning code.
Council expressed concern that the material presented was not previously
submitted to the Planning and Development Committee and hearing examiner.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated that the testimony of Mr. Beaumont
and Mr. Christianson and the letter from Mr. Brown were not available to the
Planning and Development Committee nor are those individuals parties of
record or listed in any place on the hearing examiner's report as having
testimony given to the hearing examiner.
Mayor Clymer questioned the proponent as to whether the material being
presented was new material. Mr. Derus assured that the material he was
presenting dealt with the Comprehensive Plan. He stated that the information
was new only in the respect that neither the committee nor the hearing
examiner referenced it during the review process, and for the benefit of the
new Council members, he felt it should be discussed.
Mr. Derus referenced letters from businesses in the area which supported the
project. In summary, Mr. Derus concluded that his development site offers
an opportunity to do something about the concerns of citizens of Renton and
the revitalization of the downtown area by placing shoppers close to the area.
Moved by Keolker-Wheeler, seconded by Zimmerman, Council concur with
Committee Majority Report.'
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler reiterated that the testimony from Mr.
Beaumont, Mr. Christianson, and the letter from Mr. Brown were all new and
had not been heard by the committee nor the hearing examiner. She further
commented that two years ago the proponent in this action argued for a
rezone from R-3 to B-I and was granted that rezone, and expressed concern
that this is speculative rezone on the same piece that was rezoned less than
two years ago.
Councilman Tanner stated that from his experience as a real estate agent he
would recommend that further consideration be given to the rezone because
of the demand for housing in the Renton area and the site being a central
location for employment.
Further Council discussion noted concerns about crime due to the isolation of
the site and inconsistencies in information regarding noise in the area.
Councilman Stredicke referred to a memorandum received by Council
members this date from the Community Development Director. Planning
Manager, Larry Springer, reviewed the memorandum which reported that the
hearing examiner had denied the rezone due to inappropriate noise levels
generated from the airport, isolation of the site from other multifamily
developments, and inadequate access to schools and recreation areas. It was
staffs opinion that the noise could be mitigated through use of appropriate
construction materials, and the plans could be redesigned to allow only senior
housing or housing for families without children to mitigate the remaining
concerns of the hearing examiner. The memorandum concluded with a
recommendation that the matter be remanded to the hearing examiner if the
recommendation to deny the request is overturned.
March 19, 1990 Renton Citv Council Minutes Page 87
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler urged Council to adopt the motion because
the rezone does not meet the city's criteria for rezone action which was
clearly pointed out by the hearing examiner in his report.
Councilman Edwards expressed concern that the denial of the rezone to
multiple family use would have the effect of placing a moratorium on
multifamily housing when the site appears to be appropriate for that use. He
felt that because there is new evidence being presented, this matter should be
referred back to the hearing examiner for further re- 'ew.
*ROLL CALL: 3 Ayes: Zimmerman, Keolker-Wheeler, Stredicke. 3 Nays:
Tanner, Edwards, Nelson. Motion failed.
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN, COUNCIL
TABLE THIS MATTER FOR TWO WEEKS TO 4-2-90. CARRIED.
AUDIENCE COMMENT Chuck Geiger, 11914 - 87th Avenue South, Renton, residential property
Citizen Comment: Geiger owner west of the Derus rezone site, commented that he and other neighbors
- Derus Development Co. oppose the rezone to multi-family use. He expressed concern about children
Renton Crown playing on the steep slopes, access to bus lines and schools, air pollution from
Apartments, R-122-88, the fireplaces, noise from the units, and noted that the 60% grade creates
SA-122-88 potential for landslides.
Citizen Comment: Webb - Sanford Webb, 430 Mill Avenue South, Renton, commended the Council for
Boeing EIS supporting the interest of the citizens regarding the Boeing expansion project.
He also requested a report of the amount of monies Boeing contributes
towards the economy of Renton.
Upon Council inquiry regarding the status of the negotiations with Boeing,
Mayor Clymer replied that he had notified Boeing of discussion at the
Council meeting on March 12th regarding the two documents. Brent McFall,
Administrative Assistant, reported that meetings have been held this week
with both groups to discuss the matter. He explained that a report would be
made at a later date when discussions are resolved to the satisfaction of both
groups.
RECESS MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY ZIMMERMAN,
COUNCIL RECESS FOR TEN MINUTES. CARRIED. Time 9:05 p.m..
Council reconvened at 9:18 p.m.; roll was called; all members present.
AUDIENCE COMMENT Michael Hanis, 3900 East Valley Highway, Suite 203, Renton, reported on the
Citizen Comment: Hanis - status of the negotiations from the citizens' point of view. He stated that the
Boeing EIS group had met with the City Attorney, Mr. McFall, and Mr. Nyberg and
even though it was a good faith discussion, in his opinion, the discussions did
not address Council concerns. He commended the administration for their
effort in trying to resolve this issue to the mutual satisfaction of the both
groups.
Councilman Stredicke asked why the negotiations are taking place with each
group separately rather than collectively. City Attorney Warren explained
that both parties are involved in the negotiations, but not in a combined
discussion. He stated that the Council would be informed of the results.

Appeal: Derus Representing Steve Derus of the Derus Development Company, Mr. Blaylock
Development Co. Rezone referred to his letter of March 29th to the Mayor and City Council which
and Site Approval, noted concerns brought up at the previous meeting. He reiterated reasons for
Renton Crown the rezone due to the uniqueness of the subject site for multi-family units as
Apartments, R-122-88, designated on the Comprehensive Plan. Other reasons cited were lack of
SA-122-88 intrusion on single family residential neighborhoods; mitigation of traffic
congestion; existing utilities and services already on the site; access to
employment, shopping and schools; site takes advantage of topography of
land and views of the lake. Mr. Blaylock recommended that Council remand
the rezone back to the hearing examiner to consider the site plan specifically
with the rezone.
Ethel Klepach, 8916 South 121st Street, Seattle, owner of property above the
proposed site, stated that she had not been notified of any meetings that
pertained to this site, and protested the use of the subject property for
anything but a greenbelt. Her concerns were the unstable ground soils, steep
grade, noise, view obstruction, disturbance of wildlife in the area such as
blue heron and bald eagle, possibility of crime and drugs allegedly brought in
with multiple units, traffic burden and access roads for school buses.
Al Stoutenberg, 8904 S. 121st Street, Seattle, agreed with Ms. Klepach and f
expressed concern of the additional burden on the sewage system. Additional
units in this area would only increase problems with water runoff and
sewage.
Don Erickson, Planning Department, stated that the records regarding the
Derus rezone show that on January 26, 1990, all parties of record
(approximately 12) were notified of the hearing. Additionally, notices of
public hearing on January 27, February 27, and May 1 were posted at the
site. Upon inquiry, Mr. Erickson indicated that property owners who live
within a 300 foot radius were notified of the hearing in writing, and Ms.
Klepach was not a party of record.
Councilman Stredicke inquired if staff was aware of the bald eagles on the
subject site. Mr. Erickson stated that an earlier study indicated that there
were birds, but not endangered species.
Ethel Klepach, clarified that after speaking with Mr. Blaylock and looking at
the drawings of the proposed units, the complex will not obstruct her view.
Mayor Pro Tem Mathews stated that at the Council meeting of 3-19-90, the
Planning and Development Committee Majority report was voted on by
Council, resulting in a tie vote. Due to her absence at that meeting, she
asked the City Clerk to read a minority report she had prepared after
listening to the tape of the meeting. Councilman Stredicke objected to the
report being presented because there had been no request from the Council to
submit another report but rather to vote on the previously submitted reports.
Mayor Pro Tem Mathews reiterated that the motion before Council two
weeks ago had failed and the matter was tabled. The report had been
submitted in writing for the benefit of the Council members. Following
further discussion on the matter, Council was advised by City Attorney
Warren of protocol regarding a failed motion. MOVED BY ZIMMERMAN,

ADMINISTRATIVE Referred 2/5/90 - Council inquiry regarding the Storm Water Design Criteria
REPORT used for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Baptist Church site: memo
Utility: Martin Luther from Lynn Guttmann, Public Works Director, stated that the detention system
King Jr., Memorial was designed for a 25-year storm frequency with a 5-year release rate
Church Storm Drain meaning that the highest intensity storm that would occur once in a 25-year
Criteria period can be accommodated by the retention/detention system on the church
site. Since the church site is in King County, county criteria applies for this
site. After review of the county criteria, staff requested stricter requirements
with a one-year release rate. King County revised its design criteria and
made their criteria more stringent in January, 1990. However, the new
criteria were not retroactive to this church site which would have reduced the
release flow rate from the site had the new criteria been in effect.
Improvements to mitigate the flooding will be included in the Storm Water
Utility Comprehensive Plan which will include design criteria used for sizing
the recommended improvements.

NE following all City codes and standards including but not limited to mainline
extension (if required), approved commercial sidesewer, payment of the

the sewer moratorium is terminated or the City determines that adequate

i every two years from the inspection date (9-21-89) which includes checking
conditions of septic tank baffles and tank integrity, inspection of the

COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE UTILITIES COMMITTEE REPORT.*
Councilman Stredicke questioned why the church was not currently hooked
up to sewer. Brent McFall, Administrative Assistant, responded that
according to City Code any house, building, or property to be used for
,.� human occupancy must be connected to the sanitary sewer when that sewer is
within 200 feet of the property line and which has been determined to be a
health hazard as determined by the City or the Seattle-King County Health
Department. He noted that the subject site is not a health hazard.
Upon further inquiry, Committee Chairman Nelson explained that the
question of the sewer connection has been brought up because the church is
currently remodeling. They will not be charged a fee for not connecting at
this time becausef
o the moratorium. When the moratorium ato ium is removed, if
the church is not connected, a penalty fee will be charged.

April 9. 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 112

capacity of the church or the school that the church operates. Councilman
Nelson responded that the remodeling is only for the entryway into the
church building, not an increase in capacity.
Council President Mathews noted that when the moratorium was first put into
effect, there were a few connections left for existing properties in the area

April 16 1990 Renton City Council Minutes Page 118
Utilities Committee Utilities Committee Chairman Nelson presented a report recommending that
Public Works: Sewer Phases I and II of the King County consolidated shop site not be granted
Moratorium, King exemptions from the sewer moratorium. The Committee recommended that
County Department of King County proceed with the Environmental Impact Statement and plans for
Public Works, Phase I and construction. Reapplication for exemption can be pursued if construction is
II finished prior to the lifting of the moratorium.
Mr. Saltarelli presented a brief history of the project stating that in 1977
when the County established the base headquarters at the Monroe Street
complex, the existing sewers were inadequate and a new 12-inch sanitary tine
was installed. A latecomer agreement was signed with the City to expand the
drainage basin in order to accommodate new development for the City. In
1981 at a meeting with City officials, an agreement was reached regarding
the future of that line because of concern regarding capacity in future
development of the facility. King County was assured that there would be
capacity for future development. According to Mr. Saltarelli, the sewer
connection is guaranteed only through a verbal agreement, and prior to
building a multi-million dollar facility, the County requests reconsideration
of this matter and written confirmation of sewer connection.
Councilman Stredicke asked for clarification on the type of facility to be
built. Mr. Saltarelli explained that the building would be in two phases, the
first phase to include a materials laboratory of approximately 8,000 square
feet and an equipment storage building and a minor equipment storage
building of approximately 1,200 square feet. Phase II consists of a 10,000
square foot administration building. He further stated that a maximum of 0
new people would be transferred to this building during Phase I.
Councilman Tanner noted that according to the time schedule, construction
would coincide with the lifting of the moratorium, and the matter could be
reconsidered at that time.
Mayor Clymer explained that applications have been submitted for a number
of houses and apartments in the subject area. Some of those are on the
waiting list now and have priority for using the existing sewer capacity.
Additionally, a trunk line needs to be installed which would go through the
Maplewood area into the County. However, property owners oppose
development in that area. He expressed the need to work cooperatively.

Upon Council inquiry as to why this exchange is necessary, John Morris,
Housing and Human Resources Coordinator, explained that because Mercer
Island currently has excess funds in the Block Grant Program due to lack of
designated projects and Renton has projects in the Highlands area that are
eligible for these specific dollars, Renton's general fund dollars will be
exchanged for Mercer Island's Block Grant monies. The exchange will allow
the City of Renton additional improvements for renovation work at the North
Highlands Neighborhood Center and North Highlands Walkways Phase I. Mr.
Morris added that King County supports this arrangement for the utilizatior,
of these funds. *MOTION CARRIED.
