PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published r.r Development Services: in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public Regulatory Reform hearing to consider amendments to the Regulatory Reform Ordinance for Ordinance Changes exemptions from procedural requirements, exclusions from time limits, and public notice requirements. Peter Rosen, Senior Planner, explained that the amendments are proposed to better organize and refine some provisions of the Regulatory Reform Ordinance. Additional amendments will be proposed at a later date to implement new SEPA rules adopted last October. Continuing, Mr. Rosen said the first proposed amendment would exempt non- projects such as Comprehensive Plan amendments (and any associated rezones) or development regulation amendments from the public notice and procedural requirements that apply to projects. The second change is a proposed exemption to the requirement that permit decisions be issued in 120 days. Certain exemptions are allowed by State law, and the proposal is to exclude a one-year period (with a possible one-year extension) for the preparation of a draft and final environmental impact statement. The third and final proposed change is to allow the Zoning Code Administrator to modify or waive the requirement that notice of development applications be mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property. Staff recommends this be changed for projects on irregular-shaped properties or for large sites where project work would affect only a small area of the overall site. Audience comment was invited.

She asked how the business owner was given this license by Paraphernalia the City, and whether it could be revoked. Noting that one business in particular sells knives, pagers, drug paraphernalia and pornography along with milk, butter and gas, she asked if the sale of drug-related items can be regulated in any way. On another subject, Ms. Carlson asked if the grant for the two police officers patrolling the Highlands area will be renewed, and if the City must provide matching funds for this.

CARRIED. r CORRESPONDENCE Correspondence was read from Mayor Tanner to Council President Bob Executive: Regional Edwards and the City Council regarding the proposed Regional Finance and am Finance and Governance Governance Plan (RF&G). Based on information provided by the City Plan, GMPC Attorney, Mayor Tanner stated that the Administration's position on this matter is as follows: - The RF&G plan was not approved nor concurred in by a majority of the cities and towns that comprise the membership of the Suburban Cities Association (SCA); therefore, the transmittal of the plan to the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) was improper. - The authority of the GMPC does not authorize it to do anything other than develop and obtain the ratification of the County wide Planning Policies (CPPs). The GMPC does not have the authority to adopt the RF&G plan. - The RF&G plan, if ratified, will become mandatory for all jurisdictions, even if they voted against it. This would violate the mutual assent to contract which is fundamental to contract law. - The proposed process of ratification is far less than that required by State Substitute Senate Bill (SSB) 5038. The Mayor then requested Council concurrence in the following actions: - Formally oppose the plan and question the way in which it was placed before the GMPC. - Authorize the Administration to request, together with other like-minde cities, a special meeting of members only to discuss this plan and the appropriate procedure for negotiating amendments to it. - Authorize the Administration to commit staff support and funding to the SCA to develop an alternative RF&G plan acceptable to suburban cities. Ifs April 6. 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Pau 119 Council President Edwards noted that by ratifying the County-wide Planning Policies (CPPB) and their amendments, Renton may have, by implication, accepted the continued vitality of the GMPC. City Attorney Warren concurred that the longevity of the GMPC has been extended by an agreement, a copy of which he has not yet seen. On two occasions, however, Renton formally accepted positions taken by the GMPC, including amendments to the CPPs. Further research is required to determine whether the GMPC has been formally authorized to take steps to satisfy the provisions of State Substitute Senate Bill 5038. Mayor Tanner commented that his primary concern was that the SCA did not approve the RF&G moving forward as an approved plan, although King County and the County Executive apparently consider it to be SCA-approved. Council President Edwards added that the SQA is scheduled to discuss the plan on April 22nd. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL REFER THE MEMO FROM MAYOR TANNER ON THIS ISSUE TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. CARRIED.

APPROVAL OF MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL APPROVE COUNCIL MINUTES THE MINUTES OF APRIL 6, 1998, AS PRESENTED. CARRIED. APPEAL Planning & Development Committee Chai. Keolker-Wheeler presented a N..r Planning & Development report regarding the appeal of the Hearint; Examiner's decision to deny a Committee variance for the Upper Monster Road Warehouse project (1200 Monster Rd. Appeal: Upper Monster SW) to allow clearing on slopes in excess of 40%; appeal filed on 3/18/98 by Rd Warehouse, Opus NW, Roger Pecsok, Opus Northwest LLC, 200 - 112th Ave. SE #205, Bellevue, SA-97-164 98004 (File No. SA-97-164). The Committee met on April 7, 1998 to consider the appeal. The applicant seeks a variance from the City's land clearing and tree-cutting ordinance (Section 4-9) in order to clear areas where the slope exceeds 40%. The applicant appealed the decision of the Hearing Examiner dated March 5, 1998. The subject property is located at the 1200 block of Monster Road SW. The applicant seeks to develop a 111,270 square foot warehouse and office on 7.11 acres. The Committee found that there is substa:itial error of fact and/or law in conclusion #2, that the applicant does not suffer undue hardship. There are unique circumstances surrounding this sit:. "There are no naturally occurring slopes due to the mining by a prior owner. Additionally, the proposed use seems the most appropriate use for this site. Therefore, the Hearing Examiner's conclusion that there is no unglue hardship because the applicant can construct a smaller building is in error. Even with a smaller building, the same clearing would be required on the site. Alternatively, a considerably smaller building could be constructed without calling for the same magnitude of clearing. However, to require such a small building on this site would make it unattractive for sale and would therefore eliminate any incentive to develop this site for this use. Additionally, part of the site plan involves the construction of a bioswale on the west side of the site. That bioswale will be connected to an off-site retention pond to the west of the site. To require the 126 April 13 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 126 relocation of the bioswale to any other location on this site would create an undue hardship in connecting the bioswale to the retention pond. Further, the Committee found that the other requirements for a variance would be met. Specifically, revegetation of the cleared areas would be an ■./ enhancement to the subject property. Therefore, the Committee recommended that the City Council reverse the decision of the Hearing Examiner and gr<<nt the requested variance, with the condition that the applicant shall be required to revegetate areas disturbed as a result of clearing and grading activity. F�irther, the applicant shall accomplish this revegetation immediately upon the completion of grading activities. Finally, the Committee recommended tha: the City Council reverse any conditions which were imposed in the Hearing Examiner's decision which are not consistent with the granting of the variance.

Public Works: in Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman announced Maplewood that the City is investigating a possible fuel pipeline leak in the Maplewood neighborhood adjacent to Maple Valley Highway. Explaining that the Olympic Pipeline Co. operates a pipeline which bisects this neighborhood, Mr. Zimmerman said last Thursday, one of the company's fourteen monitoring wells in Maplewood detected a 4,000 parts-per-million reading of either gas or diesel. Though an extremely elevated reading, only one well detected a problem, suggesting that the contamination was caught very early. Continuing, Mr. Zimmerman said the City and Olympic Pipeline Co. are working to identify, contain and mitigate the source of the contamination. April 20 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 137 157 One possibility is that it is residue from a 1986 incident, when 84,000 gallons leaked into Maplewood's soil and ground water. The residue could have remained on or near the water table since that time. Two other possible sources of the contamination are a new pipeline fracture, or a leaking ■..� residential heating oil tank. Mr. Zimmerman said the problem is probably not due to a new leak, however, since none of the other monitoring wells detected elevated levels of contamination. He emphasized that, at this point, the situation does not present a threat either to public health or to the City's water supply. AUDIENCE COMMENT Kimberly A. Browne, 1003 N. 28th Pl., Renton, 98056, requested that the City Citizen Comment: Browne purchase a 14-acre parcel in lower Kennydale for use as park land and open - Kennydale space. The property, actually two parcels, is located south of N. 28th Pl. and Neighborhood Park east of Burnett Ave. and Lake Washington Blvd. Explaining that it was Proposal recently listed for sale and could potentially be developed with over 80 homes, Ms. Browne was concerned about the site's various environmentally-sensitive characteristics, such as Kennydale Creek and steep slopes. She valued the serene and natural character of the area, and its many varying bird and plant species. Concluding that this situation affords the City the opportunity to acquire a neighborhood park for a community which lacks this type of amenity, she asked for Council's support of this proposal. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER TO THE COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMITTEE. CARRIED. Councilman Corman requested that the information provided to the Committee for its evaluation of this subject include what portion of the property is not developable, due to the constraints posed on the site by the existing creek and steep slopes. He suggested that the undevelopable portion could be designated as park land, perhaps at minimal cost to the City. Responding to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Ms. Browne said the property is listed for sale at $1.85 million. Citizen Comment: Graves LaVerne Graves, 905 N. 28th PI., Renton, 98056, supported the proposal - Kennydale presented earlier by Ms. Browne that the City purchase property in lower Neighborhood Park Kennydale for a park or open space. Saying it would be in the City's best Proposal interest to buy this property, he questioned how the City can afford to purchase a new municipal building and redevelop the downtown, but not have money for other, also worthy purposes. City Attorney Lawrence J. Warren replied that the City did, in fact, try to purchase this property several times, but could not reach an agreement with the owners. The funds that were available for this effort were subsequently used to purchase Tract A in the Black River Riparian Forest. Glenn Kost, CIP Project Manager, concurred that the City finally concluded that the owners were simply not interested in selling all or even part of the property at that time. Citizen Comment: Dineen Jeff Dineen, 320 Smithers Ave. S., Renton, 98055, presented a petition signed - Use of City-Owned by 17 property owners and/or residents of Smithers Ave. S., expressing Downtown Property concern about the City's plans for property it owns on the corner of Burnett (Smithers/S 4th St) Ave. S. and S. 4th Street. The petition stated that due to this property's proximity to single family dwellings, any development plans should take into consideration the desire of nearby residents to maintain their quality of life. It requested that the City consider all possible uses for this site, including I3� April 20 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 138 long-term parking, and that any and all plans concerning its potential use, sale or development be made available to all interested parties. The petition further asked that any decision regarding long-term use or sale of the property be made by a group including representation from neighboring property owners. now Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington said while the City has considered some options for this site, no one plan or proposal has been formally put forth. If the City ever does plan to sell the property, it will have to undergo a public process before doing so. Sue Carlson, Economic Development, Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning Department Administrator, added that the City had approved entering into an agreement with the Downtown Renton Association (DRA) for a long-term (three to five year) lease of this property for parking. However, when the DRA dissolved in February, the City once again began considering options for the property's use. Councilman Corman commented that according to Renton's Comprehensive Plan, this part of the downtown will not remain single family forever. He suggested that interested residents examine the City's long-term plans for this area, and make their views known if they feel the plans are not appropriate.

OLD BUSINESS Council President Edwards presented a report regarding the proposed Regional Committee of the Whole Finance and Governance Plan for King County, prepared by the Regional Council: Regional Finance Finance & Governance Oversight Committee of the Growth Management & Governance Plan Planning Council (GMPC). The Committee based its review on a comparison of the proposed plan against the Suburban Cities Association's (SCA) Regional Finance & Governance proposal adopted in March of 1997. The SCA position was endorsed by the Renton City Council in February, 1997. Based on the Committee's comparison, and on preliminary information from staff regarding the potential cost impacts of the GMPC's proposed plan, the Committee of the Whole recommended that the Renton City Council: 1. Not endorse the GMPC's current proposal as drafted. 2. Direct staff to work with and through the Suburban Cities Association to develop a revised proposal. This process will require both staff time and money from Renton. I 3. Direct staff to continue to develop information regarding the infrastructure and operational deficiencies in our potential annexation areas (PAAs). 4. Keep this issue in the Committee of the Whole for updates and decisions in the near future. ILA 5.

MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Utilities Utilities Committee Chair Clawson presented a report regarding the Legal: Telecommunications Telecommunications Ordinance. The proposed Telecommunications Licenses Ordinance and Franchises Ordinance was presented to Council at the Committee of the Whole meeting of March 10, 1997, and was reviewed by the members of the Utilities Committee on January 22 and April 9, 1998. The proposed ordinance was distributed to all telecommunications service providers, and modifications to the ordinance were made in response to changes requested by providers. The ordinance establishes a fair process for accepting and reviewing telecommunications applications, and serves as a referral guide to the Wireless Communications Facilities Ordinance, the Cable Communications Systems Ordinance, and the Fee Schedule Ordinance. In addition to establishing a consistent procedure for registration and review of applications for telecommunications services, the ordinance requires that all companies identify any new services being provided, and assures that the City is being properly ■.rr compensated. The Utilities Committee recommended that the City Council: 1) approve the Telecommunications Ordinance; and 2) approve the Fee Schedule Ordinance as amended to reflect fees for telecommunications services.

CARRIED. WSDOT: I-405 S-Curves Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman explained Project Turnback that the Main Ave. S. improvements, including the installation of new Agreement communications systems, cannot proceed on schedule without acceptance of the turnback agreement with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) for property associated with the 1-405 S-Curves project. This agreement was previously rejected by Council's Transportation Committee because landscaping and other elements of the S-Curves project were not complete. However, the current Main Ave. S. project forces the relocation of several Puget Sound Energy power poles to property identified in the turnback agreement. Failure to execute the agreement at this time will require that Puget Sound Energy obtain a permit to install the poles on WSDOT property. Since it can take nine to twelve months to secure such a permit, the Main Ave. S. project could be delayed up to one year or longer. Continuing, Mr. Zimmerman said the turnback agreement has been modified in response to objections voiced by the Transportation Committee in its earlier rejection of the agreement. Specifically, WSDOT will remedy, within two years, the slope instability problem at the intersection of Main Ave. S. and S. 4th Street. The State will also relinquish additional right-of-way neeeded to accommodate both the relocation of Puget Sound Energy's transmission line in this area and the construction of a retaining wall on Benson Road (and the necessary subsequent roadway widening). The landscaping of the turnback area has been completed. ..r Mr. Zimmerman added that WSDOT will resolve the aforementioned slope instability problem by repairing the slope and replanting with larger plants to aid in its stabilization. The State will take further actions as necessary. Rich Evans, Civil Engineer, concurred that there is no other practical solution to removing the power poles along Main and relocating them to the turnback area. Moreover, this action must be acco;nplished before the other aspects of the project can proceed. Referring to a map, he described the proposed new sites for the relocated power poles. Responding to Councilman Parker, Mr. "Zimmerman said although staff is concerned about the ongoing problem of the slope instability, it feels that having a signed agreement which stipulates WSDOT's responsibility to remedy this situation would be in the City's favor. He emphasized that only if Renton signs the turnback agreement will the State formally incur a specific contractural obligation to correct the slope. Councilman Schlitzer supported removing the eastern portion of the turnback area from the agreement, since this is not needed for the Main Ave. project. In response to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Mr. Zimmerman said some of the landscaping funds for the S-Curves project were spent for grading and other earthmoving work. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler wanted assurance that the relocated power poles will not affect the views enjoyed by any Renton Hill residents. She also wondered why the City was proposing to locate power poles in an area already experiencing slope instability, and feared this would only exacerbate the current problem. April 20 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 142 Councilman Corman suggested that the City could proceed with accepting the turnback agreement, then decide where to locate the power poles. Councilman Parker agreed that the City's options were slim to none in this situation, as it needs to move forward with the Main Ave. improvements. k MOVED BY SCHLITZER, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL AUTHORIZE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE TURNBACK AGREEMENT AS PROPOSED.* Mrs. Keolker-Wheeler asked whether all the concerns raised by Ruth Larson have been addressed. Mr. Zimmerman felt they had, with the possible exception of the perceived drainage problem on the Cedar Ave. extension, which he had not been aware of. He agreed to look into this for Mrs. Larson. Mrs. Keolker-Wheeler clarified for the record that WSDOT may have to install another retaining wall to fix the slope instability problem at Main and 4th, should other attempts to resolve it fail. *MOTION CARRIED.

PROCLAMATION A proclamation by Mayor Tanner was read declaring the week of May 3 to 9, "Arson Awareness Week," 1998, to be "Arson Awareness Week" in the City of Renton, and encouraging May 3-9, 1998 all citizens to show their appreciation for the efforts and sacrifices made by public servants who protect Renton families and property from loss due to the violent and senseless crime of arson, and who diligently work to deter further incidents of intentionally set fires. Battalion Chief Kris Hanson accepted the proclamation on behalf of the Fire Department, noting that arson is the leading cause of property loss due to fire. Nationwide, arson fires kill over 700 people annually. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Vacation: Aberdeen Ave in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro tem Edwards opened the NE/NE 33rd St public hearing to consider the petition to vacate a portion of Aberdeen Ave. (Tharp/Clise, VAC-98- NE from NE 33rd St. to NE 36th St., and a portion of NE 33rd St. from 002) Aberdeen Ave. NE, 450 feet easterly (Tharp/Clise, VAC-98-002). Tom Boyns, Property Services Supervisor, explained that the petitioners have requested the vacation of the above-described undeveloped right-of-way in exchange for right-of-way to be dedicated within the proposed Stafford Crest plat. Renton's City Code allows property (or property rights) to be accepted in lieu of part or all of the compensation that would have been due from a City-vacated right-of-way. The usual appraisal and compensation will be waived since the vacated right-of-way will be offset by the dedicated right- of-way. Continuing, Mr. Boyns reported that neighbors owning property to the east ofrrl the proposed vacation have expressed concern about retaining access to their lots. In response, the plat was reconfigured to provide a connecting right-of- way between the new roads in the plat and NE 33rd Street. 149 April 27 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 149 Mr. Boyns noted staff and the Board of Public Works recommend that the vacation be approved, subject to the following conditions: 1. That the ordinance vacating the City rights be held until the proposed plat of Stafford Crest receives final approval. The ordinance and the plat are to be recorded concurrently; and 2. That the plat include a dedication of right-of-way sixty feet in width connecting the remaining portion of NE 33rd Street to the newly dedicated right-of-way within the plat in order to assure access for property owners who front NE 33rd Street. Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Responding to Councilman Corman, Mr. Boyns assured him that the connection to NE 33rd Street will be addressed when the Hearing Examiner considers the plat. Mr. Corman emphasized that this provision must be made clear to prevent any confusion over the development of this access in the future. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL APPROVE THE VACATION PETITION AS REQUESTED, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF AND THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. CARRIED. Transportation: Commute This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published 6 Trip Reduction (CTR) in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro tem Edwards opened the Ordinance Changes public hearing to consider the proposed revisions to Renton's Commute Trip Reduction Ordinance. Steve Rolle, Civil Engineer, explained that the proposed changes were prompted by last year's revisions to the State's Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) law. The State's CTR program, designed to reduce single occupant vehicle commuting, targets larger employers in urban areas. Mr. Rolle said the first change will adjust the timeline for CTR goal attainment, because the original goals were deemed too ambitious. The new timeline seeks a 35% reduction in SOV traffic by 2005 -- six years later than the original 1999 goal. Other revisions clarify the intent of existing rules and create more uniformity in the application of rules among jurisdictions. They also clarify what does or does not constitute a violation of the regulations, and spell out procedures for goal modifications, program credits, and exemptions. Concluding, Mr. Rolle said staff recommends approval of the proposed changes to achieve consistency with the revised State law and CTR Task Force guidelines. Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 152 for ordinance.)

CARRIED. APPEAL Planning & Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a Planning & Development report regarding the appeal of the administrative conditional use permit for Committee Western Wireless (File No. AAD-97-149, CU-97-092). On June 4, the Appeal: Western Wireless Committee convened to consider the appeal of the Western Wireless Monopole Monopole @ Shurgard Site II at the Shurgard site located at 1755 NE 48th Street. The applicant seeks to (AAD-97-149, CU-97- construct a Monopole II in the southeast corner of the subject location. 092) Western Wireless is licensed to provide personal communication service. The proposed Monopole II will facilitate that service. The Monopole II will have a height of 85 feet, with a total of 12 panel antennas mounted on top of the structure (which will add 15 feet to the height of the Monopole II, for an overall height of 100 feet above ground level). The Zoning Administrator determined that an administrative conditional use permit should be approved. That decision was appealed to the Hearing Examiner. That first appeal was remanded to the Zoning Administrator in December of 1997. Once again, the Zoning Administrator approved the conditional use permit. An appeal was filed a second time with the Hearing Examiner. Martin Seelig appealed the decision of the Zoning Administrator, claiming that the Monopole II should not be sited at the Shurgard location. Seelig and other neighboring property owners complained that this Monopole II would reduce their property values due to the impairment of their views. Further, they complained that this area had its fair share of communication antennas, as the Shurgard site already had numerous lower profile antennas. The Hearing Examiner ruled in his decision of April 13, 1998, to reverse the decision of the Zoning Administrator and deny the conditional use permit. This appeal followed. r The City's Wireless Communications Ordinance permits Monopole II structures as a conditional use in the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone, but prohibits their 197 June 8. 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 197 location within 300 feet of residentially-zoned parcels. The proposed Monopole II will be located at the Shurgard storage site, which is zoned CA. The adjoining property to the east (the Seelig property) is also zoned CA and could be developed with a retail, commercial or service use. That property is rectangular in shape and is 330 feet in width and approximately 660 feet in length. Given the height of the proposed Monopole II, it is anticipated that one or two additional carriers could co-locate. Additionally, given the height and proximity to the airport, staff noted that FAA approval would be required for construction of the Monopole II. Whether the FAA would require a light atop the Monopole II was unknown. Prior to the approval of the conditional use permit by the Zoning Administrator, Western Wireless had applied to the FAA for approval for construction of this Monopole II. It subsequently withdrew the application to the FAA and represented to the Zoning Administrator and the Hearing Examiner that the FAA would not require a light, based on information they had from a consultant. The Committee considered the City's policies regarding the location of the telecommunication towers. The members of the Committee reaffirmed the City's policy to provide opportunity for the public to be served by the particular service provided by this Monopole II, personal communications service. These types of monopoles need to be located within three miles of each other to carry the signal without interruption. Further, the Committee considered the City's stated policy to have towers constructed to facilitate co- location by multiple carriers. This proposal serves that policy. The Committee considered the fact that this is an appeal of an appeal. The Hearing Examiner's role was to sit in an appellate capacity when reviewing the decision of the Zoning Administrator. In that capacity he is not to convene the hearing anew (de novo). Rather, he is required to give deference to the decision of the Zoning Administrator and reverse that decision only if he found one of the provisions of RCC 4-8-11-B(4) applied. There is no such finding in the record. The Committee found that the Hearing Examiner committed a substantial error of law. The Hearing Examiner did not give proper deference to the decision of the Zoning Administrator. Rather, he substituted his judgment for that of the Zoning Administrator. Having considered the evidence de novo he used an improper standard when considering the decision of the Zoning Administrator. The Committee recommended that the Council reverse the decision of the Hearing Examiner. Further, the Committee recommended that the conditional use permit be granted with the following condition: The proposed Monopole II shall be constructed without a light on the tower, consistent with testimony from Western Wireless contained in the record. If the FAA requires a light on the pole, the conditional use permit is null and void. In the event the conditional use permit is rendered void, Western Wireless may re-apply for a conditional use permit with the new information regarding the FAA ,,.., requirement.

June 8 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 15-15 ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1998 and beyond. Items noted included: ..r * The Department of Fisheries approved an $800,000 escrow account required as part of the mitigation elements for the hydraulic permit which is needed for the Cedar River flood control project. * The apparent high bid for the river dredge spoil materials is $718,117.50. The material will be stockpiled at the Narco site until August 31, 1998. AUDIENCE COMMENT Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Ave. N., Renton, 98055, proposed that the Citizen Comment: Richter City allow the establishment of a veterans memorial at the 3rd and Main St. - Veterans Memorial site formerly occupied by the Holms building, next door to the Renton Proposal Historical Museum. Mrs. Richter said numerous groups such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Citizens for Piazza Renton, Allied Arts, and the Renton Historical Society support this proposal. Adding that such a project would give service people their long-delayed thanks, she hoped it could be completed by Renton's 2001 Centennial celebration. Citizen Comment: Virginia Henning, 407 S. 51st Ct., Renton, 98055, complained about the Henning - Sikh Temple amplification of services at the Sikh Temple on Talbot Hill, saying that the Amplification of Services noise is a problem particularly on Sundays beginning early in the morning and continuing all day long. She asked if anything could be done about the speakers used to conduct services at this location. Mayor Tanner agreed to look into this matter. Citizen Comment: Magula Michael Magula, 7917 - 111 th Pl. SE, Newcastle, 98056, described how the - Western Wireless view westward from his property will be negatively affected by the new Communication Tower at Western Wireless communication tower to be installed on the Shurgard site. Shurgard Site Using a photo simulation to show how the tower will appear from his property, Mr. Magula said that the issuance of the conditional use permit for this tower is contrary to certain provisions of Renton's Comprehensive Plan and to City regulations governing wireless communications facilities. Specifically, the tower will not be "sensitively sited," and photo simulations were not provided as required. Although Council has decided to allow this tower to be constructed, Mr. Magula hoped that other property owners will not be subjected to this type of situation in the future. Councilman Corman replied that while he was sympathetic to Mr. Magula's plight, federal law greatly restricts the City's ability to disallow communication towers. All Renton can do as a municipality is try to reduce the impacts as much as possible. Citizen Comment: DuBois Pegi DuBois, 2907 Mountain View Ave. N., Renton, 98056, asked for - Quendall Terminals additional information on the City's plans to acquire and clean up the Purchase & Cleanup Quendall Terminals property on Lake Washington. Mayor Tanner offered to provide Ms. DuBois with the press packet on this subject. Citizen Comment: Darst - Pat Darst, 2601 Edmonds Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, concurred in the proposal Veterans Memorial outlined earlier by Mrs. Richter that the City use the now-vacant Holms Proposal building site for a veterans memorial to honor all who have served their country.

He suggested that these types of businesses instead be �.. required to obtain a peddler's license, which would ensure a background check of each applicant and also require that all vehicles used for solicitations and sales clearly identify the business.

APPROVAL OF MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL APPROVE COUNCIL MINUTES THE MINUTES OF JUNE 8, 1998, AS PRESENTED. CARRIED. PROCLAMATION A proclamation by Mayor Tanner was read declaring the day of September 26, "Day of Concern for the 1998, to be "Day of Concern for the Hungry" in Renton, and strongly urging Hungry" - 9/26/98 all citizens to join with the Emergency Feeding Program to feed those who are hungry. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION. CARRIED. SPECIAL Bonnie Rerecich, Recreation Supervisor, and Jill Diddy, Recreation Program PRESENTATIONS Coordinator, introduced the Special Olympics athletes who participated in the Parks: Special Olympics recent statewide events held at Fort Lewis. The athletes recited the Special Participants Olympics oath: "Let me win; but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." King County: Jury The Honorable Judge LeRoy McCullough, Chair, King County Superior Court Promotion (Superior Court Jury Committee, addressed the Mayor, Council and the viewing audience on Judge McCullough) the importance of jury service and the need for citizens to fulfill their civic duty,by serving as jurors when summoned. Judge McCullough explained that the jury system in King County is suffering from a decline in the number of people serving as jurors. Currently, only about 10% to 15% of those summoned for jury service respond. As a result, the burden of jury service is borne by a small percentage of King County residents; fewer citizens from minority communities are serving as jurors; and a small number of businesses and employers pay a greater share of the indirect costs of jury service for employed persons who serve. Continuing, Judge McCullough noted that King County has implemented several programs designed to encourage jury service. For example, the County now selects jurors from a pool of persons with driver's licenses and identification cards in addition to registered voters. Additionally, the two- week juror service term has been replaced with a "two-day/one trial' term. But despite these changes, citizen response to jury summons continues to decline. Judge McCullough also emphasized the importance of having a diverse jury panel, noting that the right of a defendant to a jury trial includes the right to an unbiased, non-prejudiced jury of one's peers. Stating that the purpose of a 209 June 15, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 209 jury is to provide the legal system with the voice of the common man and the collective judgment of the community as a means of ensuring both justice and trust, he concluded by urging Council to encourage citizens to serve as jurors when summoned. Responding to Council President Edwards, Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington said the City continues to pay the salaries of its employees who are absent from work due to jury service. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler suggested that King County raise juror per diems from $10 per day to $25 per day, as allowed by State law. She noted that $10 typically will not cover a day's parking expense for jurors called to serve in downtown Seattle. Judge McCullough agreed, adding, however, that King County paid over $1 million in juror per diems in 1997. Mrs. Keolker-Wheeler also suggested that the Court be allowed to advertise its speakers panel via Renton's government access channel, since community groups frequently seek speakers to address their memberships. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1998 and beyond. Items noted included: * The first phase of the move to the new City Hall was accomplished over the weekend with the relocation of the Economic Development Department, the Planning/Building/Public Works Department, Fire Administration and Fire Prevention, and the Community Services Department. The second and final phase will happen in mid-July. * The Police Department has developed a new Crime Resistant Multi- Housing Program to help prevent illegal activity at rental properties. AUDIENCE COMMENT David Loring, 613-A S. 3rd St., Renton, 98055, suggested that the City Citizen Comment: Loring consider converting the old City Hall site for use as multi-family residential - Proposed Conversion of housing. Saying this could be accomplished by either selling the property to a Old City Hall to developer or by the City entering into some type of public/private partnership Residential Use with the City retaining ownership and control, Mr. Loring noted the need for more high-density residential property in the downtown. He appreciated the City's efforts to revitalize the downtown and felt that progress was being made, but was concerned about keeping the momentum going after the piazza and Dally Homes projects are finished. Mayor Tanner replied that although the City supports -- and is working towards -- a greater residential density of the downtown, neither he nor a majority of the Council favors selling this building at this time. Instead, the City plans to install fire sprinklers, then lease the building to one or more tenants who can pursue any additional desired improvements. Mayor Tanner also did not believe that it would be worthwhile financially to convert the building's use to residential. Councilman Clawson commented that in ten or fifteen years, the City might be amenable to considering Mr. Loring's proposal for this site. Citizen Comment: Tom Huxtable 3176 NE Sunset Blvd., Renotn 98059 expressed appreciation p Huxtable - Cleanup on for the cleanup work done on Sunset Boulevard in the Highlands over the last Sunset Blvd three or four months. He also commended the City for the look of the new City Hall and its signage. On a final subject, Mr. Huxtable hoped that RUSH shuttle service will be expanded to the Highlands area from the downtown. 210 June 15, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 210 Councilman Corman replied that the City is interested in expanding RUSH shuttle service to the Highlands, perhaps in the next year or two.

The covenant Covenants on NE 4th St required a joint (common) access between the properties, to be established at the time of future development or redevelopment of the properties. The covenant unduly encumbers the subject properties, and therefore the Committee recommended allowing the applicants to proceed with removing the restrictive covenant from the land title.

Mr. Patricelli said since Earlington began receiving assistance from Mrs. Chastain and Chief Anderson, five active Block Watch groups have been formed, a crosswalk on SW 218 June 22, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Pape 218 Langston Rd. has been replaced, abandoned cars have been removed, and numerous other improvements have been made in the area. Mr. Patricelli also presented plaques to Mayor Tanner and the City Council tou express appreciation for their roles in implementing the Neighborhood Program. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Transportation: Six-Year in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public TIP, 1999-2004 hearing to consider the 1999-2004 Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and associated budget amendments. Sandra Meyer, Transportation Systems Director, explained that the TIP identifies six years' worth of transportation capital improvement projects, associated funding, the timing of improvements, and the anticipated results of i implementing the program. The TIP assumes that certain state and regional funding will become available, such as the RTA funding that was approved �! and allocated to the greater Renton area for the HOV-direct access interchanges and express bus service. Lee Haro, Transportation Planning Supervisor, added that the proposed budget adjustments reflect an increase of $900,000 in local revenues resulting from special appropriations for neighborhood walkways and downtown street improvements, as well as from increased business licensing fees. Newly acquired state and federal grants total an additional $3,200,000. Mr. Haro described how the TIP will maintain the City's existing infrastructure, one of the most important purposes of any transportation program. Other projects and programs enhance the liveability of Renton's now communities, or improve the safety and operations of transportation facilities. Mr. Haro noted that RUSH, downtown Renton's free bus shuttle service, is the most successful shuttle in King County's history. Mr. Haro briefly reviewed the top ten TIP priority projects, as follows: Street Overlay Program; Oakesdale Ave. SW Phase 1 (SW 16th to 27th Sts.); Oakesdale Ave. SW Phase 2 (SW 27th to 31st Sts.); I-405/NE 44th St. Interchange; Transit Program; Walkway Program; Intra-City Intermodal Transportation Program; Downtown Transit Access Program; Logan Ave. and Pipeline Streetscape; and Transit Priority Signal System. Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY i PARKER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 223 for legislation.) EDNSP: Automall This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Expansion in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider the proposed expansion of the Renton Automall. Mike Kattermann, Director of Neighborhoods & Strategic Planning, stated that Renton's Automall area is divided into two subsections, Areas "A" and "B." Area A is currently restricted to auto-related uses only. It has higher landscape standards for all properties, and financial incentives for dealerships to locate there. The proposal is to expand the current Area "A" west to include four additional blocks between Lind and Raymond. The change Ono would also add existing offices and small vehicle sales (snowmobiles and lawn and garden equipment) to the list of allowed uses. 219 June 22, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 219 Continuing, Mr. Kattermann said one proposed change for Automall Area "B" would be to adopt Area "A"'s higher landscape standards, but only for those auto dealerships located within its boundaries. Area "B" encompasses three different zoning categories (Arterial Commercial, and Medium Industrial and High Industrial) but uses do not have to be auto-related. The proposal would expand Area "B" to include several existing and expected dealerships currently located outside of the Automall. This would allow the City to require higher landscape standards of these businesses. It would also permit auto dealerships in Area "B" to have electronic reader board signs. Mr. Kattermann added that the proposal would also create a right-of-way improvement plan that would use special street signage and decorative banners to help identify the area. The Planning Commission recommended that the Automall expansion be approved as presented, with two modifications: 1) That the reference to "snowmobile, lawn and garden equipment" be deleted from the list of primary uses allowed in Area "A"; and 2) That the Puget Sound Energy site located on Grady Way east of Talbot Road not be included in the expansion area. Mr. Kattermann added that staff's recommendation is that this item remain in Planning & Development Committee for further consideration. He noted the receipt of a request to extend the written comment period for one week, which staff does not oppose. Councilman Schlitzer suggested that the manner in which sales of certain items are allowed or disallowed might be overly specific, since it calls out particular vehicles such as personal watercraft, ATVs, motorcycles, snowmobiles, etc. Mr. Kattermann agreed that this language can be looked at closer in committee. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler questioned why the proposal includes overlaying the Automall designation onto properties such as the Holiday Inn site, which is already developed and for which the City is not encouraging redevelopment. Emphasizing that the properties would not be affected unless the current use changed to an auto dealership, Mr. Kattermann noted that any property always possesses the opportunity to be redeveloped. He added that Council can change the proposed expansion boundaries of Area "A" or "B" as it deems appropriate. Audience comment was invited. Don Pugh, 811 SW Grady Way, Renton, 98055, representing Cummins Northwest, Inc., was concerned with the proposal to overlay Area "A" onto property located to the east of the Cummins site. Saying that Cummins has considered expanding its use in that direction, he noted that it could not do so if that property was incorporated into Area "A," since it would then be restricted to certain auto-related uses. Correspondence was read from Robert I. Heller, 1001 Fourth Ave. Suite 4000, Seattle, 981Q4, representing Cummins Northwest Inc., describing the concern stated by Mr. Pugh and suggesting that the following sentence be added to the Automall provisions to address this and similar situations: "However, businesses in operation on the date of this amendment at locations abutting or adjacent to (across the street from) Area 'A' shall be permitted to expand onto property in Area 'A' that is abutting or adjacent to the existing facility." 224 June 22, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 220 Responding to Councilman Corman, Mr. Kattermann noted that Council could always change the boundaries of Area "A" in the future to accommodate situations such as that described by Mssrs. Pugh and Heller. Additional correspondence was read from Rosemary Grassi, no address provided, who asked that the Puget Sound Energy property be excluded from the Automall area, as she felt it could be used in the future to expand the new city hall complex. Noting her concern that the entrance into the Chevron station in Renton Village is hazardous to drivers entering from the east, Ms. Grassi further asked that the City encourage natural landscaping with plants and flowers in the Automall and discourage streamers, fringe and balloons which are not as attractive. Responding to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor Tanner said the primary reason for including the Puget Sound Energy site in Area "B" is because it has already been sold to AutoNation, and only by including it in Area "B" will the City be able to require the higher landscape standards. He added that this site is currently zoned Heavy Industrial (IH), which allows auto sales. Jerry Shreve, PO Box 95, Kent, 98035, stated that he owns a home at 515 Wells S. adjacent to the proposed Automall expansion area, the basement of which has flooded three times in the last eight years. He was concerned that additional development and pavement would increase the storm water runoff in this area, resulting in more flooding. He therefore requested that the City re-evaluate its storm water runoff regulations for any new development in this area. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman agreed that.. this area still experiences surface water problems, which the City is addressing. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington added that Renton's development regulations stipulate that no new project is allowed to increase an area's current storm water runoff. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, LEAVING THE WRITTEN RECORD OPEN FOR ONE WEEK AS REQUESTED. CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1998 and beyond. Items noted included: * Metro Credit Union has donated $500 to the City's scholarship- program, which enables Renton residents to participate in a City class or activity for half the cost or no cost. * Dredging of the Cedar River began last week, with dredged materials being trucked for storage to the Narco site at an expected frequency of one truck every five or six minutes. * Water Supervisor Ray Sled was selected to be part of a team traveling to Bosnia to help with that country's water distribution system.

MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Community Services Community Services Committee Vice Chair Corman presented a report Committee recommending concurrence in the Municipal Arts Commission's Executive: 1% for Arts recommendation that the City commission T. Ellen Sollod to design, construct Contract w/T. Ellen Sollod and install artwork as part of a 1% for Art project in downtown Renton. (Downtown Project) Specifically, this art would be applied in the vicinity of Logan and 3rd Ave. (the sites known as the Gateway and the Renton Piazza on Logan Ave. between S. 2nd and 3rd Streets). The $50,000 available for the 1% project is generated through capital projects in the Transportation department. T. Ellen Sollod is a regionally-recognized artist known for her creative skill in incorporating local history into her work. After a competitive selection process, King County commissioned her to design, construct and install art in the Transit Center. The Transit Center is immediately adjacent to the Gateway, the Piazza, and Logan Ave. between S. 2nd and 3rd Streets. This entire area is a significant part of our downtown redevelopment efforts. By utilizing the same artist for both projects, the City can take advantage of the visual consistency that can be applied to the whole area. By commissioning the artist prior to the full design of the entire Piazza project, the artist can integrate her concepts into the design. The Committee further recommended that Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign a contract with T. Ellen Sollod for this 1% for Art project. mom Additionally, the artist is required to submit the design for review to the City Council for final approval.

SPECIAL Chief of Police Garry Anderson and Community Program Coordinator Audrey PRESENTATIONS Moore presented a plaque of appreciation to Police Department volunteer Fern Police Department: Freeman, who has donated more than 1500 hours in service to the department. Volunteer Recognition Chief Anderson noted that Mrs. Freeman, who has volunteered as a receptionist for the detective unit for over nine years, was chosen as the department's volunteer of the third quarter in 1997. Parks: New Family Jim Shepherd, Community Services Administrator, introduced Sylvia Allen, Aquatic Center newly appointed Recreation Director. Glenn Kost, CIP Project Manager, reported that in response to the impending closure of the Henry Moses pool in 1997, Mayor Tanner appointed a 19- member task force to develop a recommendation on the future of a public swimming pool in Renton. The task force included representatives from the business community, the Park Board, the City Council, the Renton School District, competitive swimming interests and citizens at large. Last December, the task force recommended that the City construct a new $4 million family aquatic center in Cedar River Park (just north of the Renton Community Center). Key features include water toys, a small water slide, a rapids channel, a zero depth area and a bathhouse. The City Council adopted the recommendation of the task force and directed that the Finance Committee develop a financing plan for the project. The Committee considered several financing options before suggesting that the City conduct a survey to determine the public's interest in replacing the Henry Moses Pool as well as its willingness to pay for such a facility with additional taxes. 211 July 20 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 244 Mr. Kost relayed the results of the survey, which concluded after a random sampling that Renton voters support construction of a new aquatic facility by a 69% to 24% margin, even after being informed that it could cost up to $10 year in additional taxes. Describing the projected financial impact on the average Renton household ($150,000 assessed value), Mr. Kost explained that because the bonds for Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park will soon be retired (in 2000), Renton citizens could gain a new public pool without increasing the excess levy rate they currently pay for parks facilities. In fact, the excess levy rate would fall from $0.33 to $0.23 per $1,000 assessed valuation in 2001 and would continue to periodically decline thereafter before stabilizing at $0.05 per $1,000 assessed valuation in the final nine years of the 20-year bond issue. Concluding, Mr. Kost said staff recommends that the City construct an outdoor family aquatic center in Cedar River Park, and that staff be directed to draft a resolution calling for a special election this fall asking voters to approve a $4 million bond for design and construction of the facility. Responding to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Mr. Kost said the Administration and the task force both recommend that the facility be built at Cedar River Park rather than the Narco site because access to Narco is problematic. Additionally, the Cedar River Park site is already improved (with water and sewer hook-ups, etc.) and an estimated 450 parking spaces are already available. Mr. Kost emphasized that the aquatic facility can be constructed without eliminating the existing baseball or soccer fields. Mrs. Keolker-Wheeler asked if someone has been named to head the bond campaign. Mayor Tanner replied that Alicia Lynch, assistant manager for the Renton Holiday Inn Select, has volunteered to chair the bond committee. He added that the Administration recommends going to voters in November now rather than September because of the latter's short timeframe. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE RULES AND ALLOW AUDIENCE COMMENT ON THIS SUBJECT AT THIS TIME. CARRIED. Ed James, 156 Whitman Ct. NE, Renton, 98059, stated his support for the proposed aquatic facility as he felt it was important for children, families and seniors to have opportunities for affordable recreation. He especially appreciated the plan to construct a pool 50% larger than the Henry Moses Pool, since Renton's population is growing. Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Ave. N., Renton, 98055, preferred that the bond issue be sought this fall instead of early next year. She suggested it would be better to act sooner rather than later to take advantage of the proposal's popularity with voters, as evidenced by the phone survey performed last month. Don Jacobson, 3741 Park Ave. N., Renton, 98056, said although a new public swimming pool would be a valuable asset for the City, he felt it would be better to construct an enclosed facility that would receive more use year- round. In response to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Mr. Kost said current „r parking and the ballfield would both be lost if anything other than a small lap pool were added to the Renton Community Center building. He added that the issue of an indoor vs. an outdoor facility was discussed at length, with the 215 July 20, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Paye 245 estimated $6 to $8 million cost of an enclosed facility being one of the deciding factors for the lesser-expensive outdoor pool. r... Council President Edwards favored seeking voter approval in November, when people are more likely to cast ballots. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE TASK FORCE THAT THE CITY CALL FOR A SPECIAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER, 1998 TO ASK VOTER APPROVAL OF AN EXCESS LEVY TO DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT A $4 MILLION FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER, AS DESCRIBED. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Legal: Adult Retail Uses in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public Moratorium hearing to consider extending the moratorium on adult retail uses within certain geographical locations. Zanetta Fontes, Assistant City Attorney, explained that staff is currently investigating the existence of negative secondary effects attributable to adult retail uses. Extending the moratorium would give staff time to research new court cases and studies that might be of interest or use in drafting an ordinance regulating these types of businesses. For example, court cases involving the cities of Aurora, Colorado and Rochester, New York presumably make it easier to apply studies on the negative secondary effects of adult uses to all adult retail businesses. Additionally, one relatively recent study found that there is no way to encourage increased value of commercial properties for a variety of businesses that are located adjacent to an adult use. r.. Ms. Fontes added that staff is also continuing discussions with other jurisdictions regarding possible regulations. She said in the last six months, no applications were made to the City for an adult retail use that would have been affected by the moratorium. Audience comment was invited. Allen Stowers, 4871 - 20th Ave. S., Seattle, objected to the fact that an adult bookstore is located in the Highlands in proximity to an elementary school. Noting that every young person's formative years are important, he said as an instructor at a local community college he observes first-hand the problems that early exposure to pornography can contribute to. He encouraged Council to extend the moratorium as proposed. Heidi Carlson, 806 Index Ct. NE, Renton, 98056, expressed appreciation for enactment of this moratorium, and asked that it be extended. Reporting that she and others have been picketing the adult bookstore in the Highlands for a full year now, she expressed their determination to continue picketing as long as the business remains open. Alicia Hotchkiss, 1201 Anacortes Ave. NE, Renton, 98059, stated her appreciation for the moratorium and asked that it be extended for another six months. Geri Warner, 2207 NE 7th St., Renton, 98056, said many children walk by the adult bookstore in the Highlands on their way and from to school, and cannot avoid its negative effect. She requested that the moratorium be extended and the store relocated. ,246 July 20 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 246 Dwight Peterson, 3009 NE 9th, Renton, WA, 98056, reported that the door to the adult bookstore is often left propped open, allowing passersby (including children) to see inside. He felt that the business contributed nothing positive to the Highlands area and does, in fact, reduce nearby property values. He supported extending the moratorium. Gale Wright, 1033 Sunset Blvd. NE, Renton, 98056, supported extension of the moratorium and hoped that the adult bookstore in the Highlands would not be grandfathered under any new regulations adopted by the City. Carole Thiele, 1151 Redmond Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, wanted Renton's adult entertainment regulations extended to adult retail uses such as adult bookstores. She also suggested that these uses not be allowed within 1,000 feet of each other, which cities such as Black Diamond prohibit. Phillip Beckley, 655 Ferndale Ct., Renton, WA, 98056, felt that adult retail uses should not be able to locate within one-half mile of schools or 1,000 feet of residences and churches. He noted that the current adult bookstore in the Highlands is 389 feet from an elementary school, 450 feet from a church and 150 feet from personal residences. Mr. Beckley was also concerned that this business not be grandfathered in any new regulations. He submitted materials associated with the adult bookstore that were found in the adjacent parking lot, including a pornographic video discovered by two 12-year-old boys in the early evening hours. Don Beech, 836 Index Ct. NE, Renton, 98056, introduced himself as a former volunteer for a men's prison which housed primarily sex offenders. He said many of the convicts confessed to him that pornography headed them in the negative direction their lives took. ..� There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Responding to Council President Edwards, Assistant City Attorney Fontes asserted that the City would not have to exempt, or grandfather, current businesses from complying with any new regulations it may adopt on adult retail uses.

Potential Annexation Area MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Community Services Community Services Committee Chair Nelson presented a report regarding a Committee fee waiver request from Rainier Christian Schools. Rainier Christian Schools Building: Rainier Christian requested a waiver of fees associated with the processing of a Hearing Schools Fee Waiver Examiner conditional use permit and environmental review for a day care Request center. Rainier has been operating a day care primarily for the children of staff members, or siblings of students attending Highlands Christian School, which is located on the same site. Staff reviewed the proposal for a day care in the R-8 zone, and determined that the day care met the definition for a "family day care" since 12 or fewer children would be cared for in a 24-hour period. Family day care is permitted as an accessory use in the R-8 zone, and no separate land use permits are required. However, according to State law, a family day care requires that an adult reside in the structure where the day care operates. Since no adult resides permanently on the premises, the day care technically does not meet the City's definition of a "family day care," but rather is defined as a "day care center." In the R-8 zone, a Hearing Examiner conditional use permit and environmental review are required for day care centers. x,5,6 July 27, 1998 Renton Citv Council Minutes Pape 256 Due to an oversight in the interpretation of the City's definition of "family day care," and based on estimates from staff to process the application, the Committee recommended that Rainier Christian Schools be allowed to pay reduced fees for the required land use permits. The fee collected by the City,., may be reduced, provided that sufficient fees are recovered for staff time expended.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Martin Durkan, Jr., 330 SW 43rd St. Suite 357, Renton, WA, representing Jack Citizen Comment: Durkan Riley, owner of the Aqua Barn Ranch located at 15227 SE Renton-Maple - Aqua Barn Site Comp Valley Highway in King County, said that the staff recommendation on the Plan Change proposed Comprehensive Plan change for this property fails to take into consideration that the Aqua Barn is surrounded by a mobile-home park, a large church, and a five-lane highway. He disagreed with staff that this site should be restricted to single family housing of one unit per acre, saying this would not be a good use of the property. Emphasizing that the county has rr.. been directed to use expansion areas for density and affordable housing, with the minimum density being four units per acre and the target density being eight units per acre, he said any mitigation fees paid due to the development of this property would have to be applied locally. Mr. Durkan was additionally concerned that specific notification had not been provided 274 August 24 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 274 relating to any formal Renton action on this issue, although such notificaiton is required by the State's Growth Management Act. Citizen Comment: Clark - Beth Clark, 1111 Third Ave. Suite 3400, Seattle, 98101, representing Security Aqua Barn Site Comp Plan Capital Pacific Trust in connection with its proposed development of the Aqua Change Barn site, explained that the Comprehensive Plan change being sought for this site would revert seven of the northern ten acres to its pre-1996 land use designation, which was Urban Residential. The remaining three acres adjacent to Maple Valley Highway would remain Neighorhood Business. Saying that the property would retain its existing R-6 zoning, she noted, however, that if the Comprehensive Plan amendment is granted, Security Pacific intends to seek a rezone that would allow a multi-family project with a density of 9 to 10 units per acre over 16 acres of the site. Ms. Clark concluded that any opposition to a rezone application that doesn't yet exist would be premature. Mike Kattermann, Planning & Technical Services Director, explained that Renton's Comprehensive Plan land use designation for this property is Rural Residential. Mayor Tanner added that the Aqua Barn site is within Renton's potential annexation area, and the City has both the authority and the responsibility to perform land use planning for it in the anticipation that it will someday be served by Renton. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE RULES AND ADVANCE TO THE PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT ON THIS ISSUE. CARRIED. Plannine & Development Planning & Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a Committee report recommending that the City oppose the proposed redesignation and Planning: Aqua Barn Site rezoning of seven acres of land at the north end of the Aqua Barn site from woo Comp Plan Change Neighborhood Business to Urban Residential, 4-12 dwelling units per acre. This redesignation and rezone is proposed as the first step in accommodating a potential 300-unit garden style apartment complex on the 33-acre site. Both the resulting density and form of development is inconsistent with Renton's land use element of the Comprehensive Plan. The Committee further recommended that the Administration send a letter to the County Executive and County Council in opposition to the proposed amendment.

APPROVAL OF MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL a.. COUNCIL MINUTES APPROVE THE MINUTES OF AUGUST 24, 1998, AS PRESENTED. CARRIED. SPECIAL Karen Marshall, Human Services Manager, said the success of Renton's PRESENTATION Summer Lunch Program at the Royal Hills Apartments can be attributed to Human Services: Summer the many partners involved in it. Lunch was offered to low-income children Lunch Program Volunteer 49 days, along with before- and after-meal activities. An average of 150 Recognition kids were served each day, with 7,370 lunches total served during the summer. The Renton School District prepared the meals and the Renton Salvation Army delivered them to Royal Hills. In addition, the Renton Library donated over 400 used books and Books for Kids gave 100 new books for the children. Staff from the Community Services Department's Recreation Division, the Police Department and the Fire Department participated as well. Ms. Marshall recognized the invaluable assistance from the Renton Ecumenical Association of Churches, Renton First United Church, Fair-wood Community United Church, St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, United Christian Church and Martin Luther King Baptist Church. Each of these five churches provided volunteers to help serve lunch on their assigned day of the week. Alice Watson, president of the Royal Hills Apartments residents' council, expressed gratitude to the City for this program, saying that it benefitted the children and their families in many ways. r..r PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Comprehensive Plan: in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public Emergency Amendments hearing to consider the proposed emergency Comprehensive Plan map, (West Hill Potential policy and text amendments to remove portions of the West Hill area from Annexation Area Renton's potential annexation area (PAA). Removal) September 14, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 286 Mike Kattermann, Director of Neighborhoods & Strategic Planning, explained the amendments are being proposed because of possible changes in the way that potential annexation areas may be treated, particularly in a relation to city responsibilities for these areas. Under a proposed amendment to the County-wide Planning Policies (CPPB), the Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) would adopt PAAs. If this is done, no city would be able to act on its own to add to or delete from its potential annexation area. Other possible changes would establish a higher level of commitment to annex PAAs at some point. Continuing, Mr. Kattermann said if the West Hill area is removed from Renton's PAA, it would become an "unclaimed area." The cities of Renton, Seattle and Tukwila would then enter into discussions with King County and West Hill residents to talk about the future of this area. Staff recommends that the emergency Comprehensive Plan amendments be adopted as proposed, removing all but two portions of the West Hill area from Renton's PAA. The first property is east of Raininer Ave. north of Renton's Municipal Airport, and the second is located south of Martin Luther King, Jr. Way. Owners of these properties have expressed interest in annexing to Renton at some point. Mr. Kattermann concluded that the City will coordinate with King County on a governance study for the West Hill area, and the subject of Renton's potential annexation area will be revisited at a future date. Responding to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Mr. Kattermann estimated that the governance study will be completed by next March or April Audience comment was invited. David Halinen, 10500 NE 8th St. Suite 1900, Bellevue, WA, 98004, representing AnMarCo, the owner of several parcels located south of Martin Luther King, Jr. Way, confirmed that his client is interested in annexing to Renton in the future and does not object to the proposed amendments. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 290 for Planning'& Development Committee report.) Planning: Moratorium on This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Residential Developments in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public in Commercial Areas hearing to consider extending the moratorium on residential development in the Center Suburban land use designation implemented by the Center Suburban (CS) and Residential Multi-family Suburban Center (RM-C) zoning classifications, the Center Neighborhood land use designation implemented by the Center Neighborhood (CN) and Residential Multi-family Neighborhood (RM-N) zoning classifications, and the Employment Area- Commercial land use designation implemented by the Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning classification. Mr. Kattermann explained that the moratorium's purpose is to protect prime commercial property in the City, given that the amount of multi-family development occurring in these zones was more than had been anticipated under Renton's Comprehensive Plan. Staff requests that the moratorium be extended for an additional six months to provide sufficient time for: testing possible approaches to resolve the concerns, evaluating potential property rezones, drafting Code amendments, and performing the necessary environmental review. 287 September 14, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 287 Mr. Kattermann estimated that the work could be completed, including final Council adoption of any changes, in approximately four months. Audience comment was invited. Ricky Chang, 3010 - 77th Ave. SE, Suite #201, Mercer Island, WA, 98040, said while he understood the purpose of the moratorium and he currently did not have any property or projects affected by it, he was concerned that if moratoriums such as this continue too long, they can inappropriately limit the use of certain properties. Noting that some properties zoned for commercial use might not be entirely suitable for that type of development, he suggested that the City allow for some exemptions to the moratorium in a case-by-case basis. Harry Friebe, 14211 SE 37th St., Bellevue, WA, 98006, stated he owned property on NE 9th Place between Edmonds Ave. NE and Sunset Blvd. NE. Although his property is zoned commercial, he felt it was not at all suitable for this type of development considering its non-arterial location and the surrounding uses, all of which are residential. He requested that the moratorium not be extended or, alternatively, that his property and others like it be specifically exempted. As chair of the Planning & Development Committee, Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler expressed interest in taking action prior to the end of the moratorium to address situations such as Mr. Friebe's. City Attorney Lawrence J. Warren replied that Council can approve exemptions to the moratorium's provisions so long as these are made in terms of rational ... classifications (for example, properties located at least 100 feet from a major arterial). Mayor Tanner stated that the Administration would not object to exempting certain classifications of property which obviously have no commercial value. Responding to Mrs. Keolker-Wheeler, Mr. Kattermann said it would take at least a month for staff to compile a comprehensive list of all the properties affected by the moratorium, and to evaluate each property to determine if any of them should be exempted from the moratorium. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER (INCLUDING THE EVALUATION OF IN-DEPTH APPROACHES AND THE POSSIBLE FORMULATION OF EXEMPTIONS TO THE MORATORIUM) TO THE PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. CARRIED. (See page 292 for resolution extending the moratorium.) ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written REPORT administrative report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1998 and beyond. Items noted included: 2�8 September 14 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 288 * Puget Sound Energy has set most of the poles for the relocation of its overhead transmission lines along Main Avenue and Benson Road. * Numerous sections of the rockery wall along Sunset Blvd. between OWN I-405 and Aberdeen Ave. have deteriorated due to weathering, and will be repaired this fall. * Construction has started on the Maplewood Fish Channel project as well as on the Olympic Pipeline Culvert replacement project. * Shubbery from the traffic islands along South Second St. in front of Renton High School has been removed and will be replaced with more appropriate evergreen plants. Replying to an inquiry from Councilman Corman, Councilman Parker stated that only a portion of the rockery wall along Sunset Blvd. has been replaced since the wall was originally installed many years ago. AUDIENCE Lila Campen, 4908 Talbot Rd. S., Renton, 98055, stated that a portion of a CONEVIENT 20-acre parcel of land she owns on Talbot Hill was rezoned earlier this year, Citizen Comment: without her knowledge. Only after a residential site plan was approved by Campen - Talbot Hill the City were she and the developer told of the zoning change, which was Zoning Changes & made to address the presence of slopes on her property. Ms. Campen asked Proposed Development that the City allow the site plan to proceed, given the circumstances involved. (See page 290 for correspondence on this issue.) Citizen Comment: Hindes Brett Hindes, 2625 NE 23rd St., Renton, 98056, described an ongoing - NE 23rd St Property dispute between the City and property owners along NE 23rd St. concerning Dispute whether an approximately 20' by 70' area is under public or private WMW ownership. He explained that although quit claim deeds were given to the City in 1961 relinquishing ownership of this property, the City Council had voted not to accept them. Nevertheless, the deeds were inexplicably recorded in 1976 without notification to the former property owners. Mr. Hindes stated that the property is unimproved and has contributed to drainage problems for adjacent homeowners. Mayor Tanner agreed to look into the property ownership and drainage problem issues. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman added that the City has verified to its satisfaction that the full width of NE 23rd St., including the area described by Mr. Hindes, is publicly owned. He agreed that this property has long been neglected although it is the City's responsibility to repair and maintain it, which it does intend to do. Councilman Corman suggested that the Administration set up an open house for City representatives and property owners in this area to discuss these issues. Citizen Comment: Stone - Sharon Stone, 2709 NE 23rd St., claimed that the City has not fairly dealt NE 23rd St Property with property owners in this situation since it had claimed in 1961 that the Dispute deeds had been lost and could not be returned to the property owners, only to record them 15 years later. ...r 2�9 September 14, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 289 Citizen Comment: Austin Sonja Austin, 3221 Phillips Ave., Bremerton, 98310, spoke on behalf of her - NE 23rd St Property parents, who live at 2701 NE 23rd Street. She claimed that if the City does Dispute own the southern, unimproved side of NE 23rd St., homeowners along this �••• stretch of road have improperly paid property taxes on public property for over 20 years. She felt that in this case, they would be due back taxes with interest. Citizen Comment: Evans Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11th Pl., Renton, 98056, inquired if the City will - Seaplane Noise take any action on complaints made by several citizens regarding seaplane noise. Councilman Schlitzer replied that this issue is very complicated due to the multiple claims of jurisdiction at the airport and on Lake Washington. Mayor Tanner added that the Coast Guard has authority over navigable water, and the Federal Aviation Administration has jurisdiction in the air space. The most Renton can do, then, is communicate its complaints and try to persuade another agency to take appropriate action.

The Committee was advised by legal counsel that although the protest would most likely be unsuccessful, any potential litigation could unnecessarily delay this project. The time and cost to resolve this issue through litigation would be more than the time it would take to simply re-bid the project.

ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1998 and beyond. Items noted included: * Renton's Fire Department participated with other jurisdictions in Sound Shake '98, a county-wide earthquake preparedness exercise conducted by King County's Department of Emergency Management. 106 September 28 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 306 * Paving for the 1998 annual Street Overlay Program is complete, including in the area of Lake Washington Blvd. and NE 44th Street. * Staff is investigating the potential cost of undergrounding power, telephone and cable TV wires along Park Ave. N. and N. 30th St., in mod response to citizen interest. * Work is completed on the repainting of the Wells and Williams Avenues bridges across the Cedar River. AUDIENCE COMMENT Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11 th Pl., Renton, 98056, said that at last week's Citizen Comment: Evans - meeting of the Highlands Community Association, City staff presented Swimming Pool Bond Issue information on the upcoming family pool bond issue. He criticized the proposal as inadequately defined, saying that the City cannot say for certain which features would be included in the new facility. Noting that Renton residents already have access to Gene Coulon Park, Kennydale Beach and the Cedar River for waterplay, he suggested that some of the proposed pool features would be duplicative of those already available at the natural sites. He felt that adding a lap pool instead would be more practical, and concluded that the City seemed to have put this proposal to voters too quickly. Councilman Parker replied that the City has worked on this issue for two years, since determining that the Henry Moses Pool was beyond repair and must be closed. A citizen task force was formed to investigate whether the pool should be replaced, and if' so, with what type of facility and in which location. The task force members took tows of other facilities, talked with experts in the field, and extensively reviewed all the available options. In addition, the Finance Committee directed that staff commission a random phone survey of Renton residents to establish their interest in having (and paying for) a new pool. Nearly 70% of those surveyed said they did want a new pool, and they were willing to pay $5 to $10 per year for it. mod Mr. Parker emphasized that all the City is doing at this point is asking the voters to indicate whether or not they want a family pool facility. Only if the voters approve the bond issue will work begin on the specific design of the facility. Mayor Tanner added that it will take approximately $200,000 to achieve a detailed engineering design for the center. Supposing the bond issue was rejected, spending this amount of money beforehand would be an inexcusable waste. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler clarified that the City intends to include as many of the proposed amenities in the center as possible, depending on the climate of the construction industry at the time the bids are let as well as how the final costs pencil out. Councilman Corman added that because the more features the pool has, the greater its usage will be, the proposal presumes that user fees will help pay off the center's costs to a greater extent than if fewer features were offered. Mr. Corman asked that the public be given notification and the opportunity to provide input on the center's final design, which Mayor Tanner agreed will be done.

MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, mod COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER TO THE UTILITIES COMMITTEE. CARRIED. Citizen Comment:Lake Correspondence was read from Roger Haynes,president, Lake Terrace Terrace Homeowners' Homeowners' Association,Lake Washington Blvd.N.,Renton, 98056, Association,Impending Sale requesting the City's assistance regarding the impending sale of the Lake of Property Terrace Mobile Home Park property at 2100 Lake Washington Blvd.N. Related correspondence from Mayor Tanner to Washington State Senator Margarita Prentice was also read, explaining that the City has received an application to redevelop this site with a 182-unit multi-family project. Lake Terrace Park residents were given a one-year eviction notice on August 15, 1998. The letter added that the City cannot, without just cause, alter the timeframes for the land use process as specified in its development regulations. The owner has the right to apply for the redevelopment of the site, and Renton must adhere to adopted regulations in processing the application. Responding to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, City Attorney Lawrence J. Warren agreed that Council's ability to construct a remedy for the affected residents is greatly constrained because, as the appointed appeals body for land use actions of this type, the Council has the potential to hear this issue formally in the future. For this reason, Council must guard against prejudging or prehearing this or any other land use development application. mom Saying that the development application must be handled according to the legally mandated process, Mrs. Keolker-Wheeler was nevertheless interested in exploring how the City or other agencies can help Lake Terrace residents find 5.17 October 5, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 317 an alternate location or locations for their homes. She announced that she has contacted Jerry Hardibeck,coordinator of the Christmas in April program,to solicit his assistance in this matter. y� Councilman Corman supported having staff look into whether the City can help Lake Terrace residents relocate. He emphasized his concern about the eviction deadline. Mayor Tanner noted that the developer has already appointed a relocation assistance specialist to help residents find either another location for their mobile homes, or alternate housing. Mrs. Keolker-Wheeler suggested that the City consider the Renton Housing Authority as a further resource. Her preference was that Lake Terrace residents relocate within the City of Renton. Councilman Clawson suggested that it might be appropriate for a City staff member to attend this week's meeting of the Lake Terrace Homeowners' Association. OLD BUSINESS Transportation Committee Chair Schlitzer presented a report regarding the SW Transportation Committee Harris Place street vacation. The Committee recommended that Council waive Vacation: SW Harris Pl, VAC- the 50% of fair market value formula for Walgreen's purchase of the vacated 97-002 right-of-way property(SW Harris Place). Council approved this street vacation in October, 1997, contingent upon four conditions. These conditions still apply and will be completed before the final property transaction. The benefits to the City of having Walgreen's develop this site include: redevelopment of a key gateway entrance to the community that anchors downtown revitalization efforts; environmental remediation of a contaminated site;job creation; and additional sales tax revenues. Walgreen's shall be responsible for the financial r... costs associated with the cleanup of this site. MOVED BY SCHLITZER, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Responding to Council President Edwards, Committee Chair Schlitzer clarified that the known contamination is adjacent to the City-owned property to be vacated. Mr. Schlitzer added that another(less attractive and less viable) option would be for the City to try to force the former property owner, via litigation, to perform the required cleanup. *MOTION CARRIED.

PRESS Elizabeth Parker,Renton Reporter Claire Booth,South County Journal APPROVAL OF MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER,COUNCIL COUNCIL MINUTES APPROVE THE MINUTES OF OCTOBER 5, 1998, AS PRESENTED. CARRIED. PUBLIC MEETING The proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local Annexation:East Renton Plateau, ordinances and State law,Mayor Tanner opened the public meeting to consider SE 128th St the 10%Notice of Intent to Annex Petition for approximately 21 acres located south of SE 128th St. and east of 138th Ave. SE (Duvall Ave.NE) in the East Renton plateau area. Owen Dennison,Associate Planner, stated that the area proposed for annexation is generally vacant,with Comprehensive Plan designations of Residential Options(RO)and Residential Single Family(RS). Typical implementing zoning would be R-10 and R-8, respectively. With the exception of the water utility,responding departments and divisions of the City have agreed that the annexation would present a logical expansion of City services. Mr.Dennison explained that this area's current service from Water District 90 would continue if the annexation is approved. Continuing,Mr.Dennison said staff recommends that the annexation area be expanded by an additional 172 acres of generally vacant or lightly developed properties located north and south of SE 128th St. east to 152nd Ave. SE (if extended). Over 60%of the property owners in the proposed expansion area have already expressed interest in annexing to Renton. The boundaries of the expanded annexation proposal are consistent with both City policies and Boundary Review Board objectives. The Comprehensive Plan designations of the expansion area are Convenience Commercial,Residential Rural and Residential Single Family. Mr. Dennison noted that a significant portion of the proposed expanded annexation area is within the Issaquah School District,which charges impact fees of about$6,000 for each new single family unit developed. Because 5,2 5 October 5, 1998 Renton City Council Minute Page 325 Renton does not have an ordinance authorizing such impact fees, the School District would likely raise the issue during the annexation process. Also, the area has existing surface water problems which King County is attempting to address with several ongoing projects downstream of the proposed annexation. Concluding, Mr. Dennison stated that if Council accepts the Notice of Intent to Annex, a full fiscal analysis will be prepared for the public hearing on the 60%petition. The Administration recommends that Council: authorize circulation of the 60%Petition to Annex for the expanded area; require the adoption of City zoning on the property consistent with Renton's Comprehensive Plan; require that the property owners assume a proportional share of Renton's bonded indebtedness; and refer the first of two required public hearings on the zoning to the Planning Commission. Audience comment was invited. Larry Smith, 1420 Fifth Ave., Seattle, WA, 98101, representing Syntax Homes and Ribera-Balko Enterprises, supported the annexation as proposed and asked that Council expand the annexation area as described by Mr. Dennison. Roger Paulsen, 15657 SE 139th Pl., Renton, 98059, stated that many residents of this area understand that it has been designated as urban and will eventually be developed to urban densities. Noting that the area is largely single family residential, which most property owners want to preserve, he felt that Renton's Comprehensive Plan and proposed zoning for this area was much more desirable than King County's. He appreciated that Renton refuses to provide sewers for development outside of its boundaries unless doing so supports its Comprehensive Plan. Mike Snow, 14114 SE 132nd St.,Renton, said that virtue can be defined as the need to balance the rights of the individual vs. the needs of the community. Emphasizing that he is not opposed to the annexation because he understands that growth will occur,he urged the City to scrutinize the area's existing uses before deciding which new uses would be appropriate and will be allowed. Responding to Councilman Corman,Director of Neighborhoods& Strategic Planning Mike Kattermann confirmed that the only zoning category correlated with the Residential Options (RO) land use designation is R-10. Changing this zoning, then, would require amending the Comprehensive Plan. Correspondence was read from Norm Green, Ray Griffin and Byron Murgatroyd, Commissions of King County Water District 90, 15606 SE 128th St., Renton, 98059,requesting that the City not take further action on this proposal—or any other existing or future annexation proposals for this area—until issues related to the appropriate provider of sewers are resolved by King County, and Renton and the Water District have reached agreement on the relevant service boundaries. Mayor Tanner said Renton has asked King County to declare both this area and other areas cast of the City as Renton sewer service areas. Regardless of the County's decision on this request, however, Renton could still annex this area, even if it were pronounced to be Water District 90's sewer service area. Mayor Tanner added that Water District 90 does not currently offer any sewer services, which Renton does. Councilman Corman rhetorically questioned why the Issaquah School District X26 October 5, 1998 Rcnton City Council Minute Page 326 cannot assume responsibility for collecting any development impact fees which it has chosen to impose. He felt that Renton should not be made accountable for fees required by the School District. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE 10%NOTICE OF INTENT TO ANNEX; AUTHORIZE ..r CIRCULATION OF THE 60%PETITION TO ANNEX FOR THE EXPANDED AREA; REQUIRE THE ADOPTION OF CITY ZONING ON THE PROPERTY CONSISTENT WITH RENTON'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; REQUIRE THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSUME A PROPORTIONAL SHARE OF RENTON'S BONDED INDEBTEDNESS; AND REFER THE FIRST OF TWO REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THE ZONING TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.* Councilman Corman asked how deep the Residential Options designation is drawn along SE 128th St. (NE 4th St., extended; also informally known as Cemetery Road). Mr. Kattermann illustrated this area on the map,explaining that Renton considers the most appropriate implementing zone for this designation to be single family. Current King County zoning in this area is R- 18, R-12, R-8 and Community Business. *MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Kattermann noted that the hearing before the Planning Commission on this subject will be held at 7:00 p.m. on November 18th. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1998 and beyond. Items noted included: wood • Students of the Information Services Program at Renton Technical College created a database program for the City's Human Services Housing Repair Assistance Program to track client demographics, services, and expenditures. • Renton's Senior Activity Center team won the overall team championship trophy at the recent Second Annual Senior Challenge, in which 11 senior centers from throughout south King County participated. • Gateway Pointe Apartments at 1455 S. Puget Drive is the first apartment complex to successfully pass all three phases of Renton's Crime Resistant Multi-Housing Program. AUDIENCE COMMENT Eleanor Saunders, 2100 Lake Washington Blvd. N., Space 33, Renton, 98056, Citizen Continent: Lake Terrace said forcing residents of Lake Terrace Mobile Home Park to move due to the Homeowners' Association, proposed development of this site would disrupt and disturb their entire lives, Impending Sale of Property, because they have established themselves here as far as their employment, Saunders travel distance to work, school and church attendance, doctors and friends. She added that many of the residents are ethnic minorities, low-income, senior, disabled, and/or single women, and moving would create a fantastic financial burden that none of them can meet. She concluded that currently, none of the residents would be able to resettle in the Renton area because no other mobile home park is available to them. Citizen Comment: Lake Ishbel Dickens, 1021 NE 70th St., Seattle, WA, explained that she works with ori Terrace Homeowners' mobile home residents who are faced with having to move, and she has seen Association,Impending Sale many of them suffer because of development. She accused the City of rushing October 5 1998 Renton City Council Minute Page 327 3 2 7. of Property to approve the proposed development of this property, which would lead to the loss of 92 affordable homes. Referring to policies contained in the Housing Element of Renton's Comprehensive Plan, she said the proposed development is contradictory to many of them. Adding that the City of Seattle successfully required a developer to significantly assist in the relocation of displaced mobile home park residents, she suggested that Renton require this as well. Responding to Councilman Corman, Ms. Dickens said the mobile home park residents have joined together to exercise their right of first refusal to the proposed sale of the property. They hope to be able to purchase the land themselves and continue living on it. Citizen Comment: Lake Bill Barlow, 2100 Lake Washington Blvd.N., Space 91, Renton, 98056, called Terrace Homeowners' on the City to ensure responsible development of the Lake Washington Blvd. Association, Impending Sale corridor. Noting that Renton has policies relating to the preservation of low- of Property and moderate-income housing, he said that the City should,therefore,be concerned about the potential loss of the mobile home units. He encouraged requirement of strict conformance with height limits,parking requirements, etc. and said that the steep slopes on this property should not be excavated and subsequently refilled. Mr. Barlow asked that the proposed development of this property be considered in relation to that of Port Quendall and other pending developments along Lake Washington Blvd., especially with respect to the cumulative traffic and environmental impacts on this area. Councilman Corman inquired if any variances have been requested or granted for this project. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman replied that although no application has yet been forwarded to his office,he understands that it is the intention of the developer to apply for a r..� variance to the City's parking and loading ordinance. Mayor Tanner wanted to know if the property has been officially transferred to Trammell Crow, the developer. Citizen Comment: Lake Roger Haynes, 2100 Lk. Wash. Blvd.N., Space 62, Renton, 98056, said Terrace Homeowners' because many manufactured home parks will not accept older mobile homes, it Association, Impending Sale appears to him that he will end up losing his home and paying to have it of Property destroyed. Mayor Tanner offered to have staff check with the King County Records office to see if the property transaction has taken place. Councilman Clawson recommended that Lake Terrace Park residents consult with an attorney on this matter to ensure they are doing everything possible to purchase the property. Citizen Comment: Lake Sondra Kraft, 2100 Lake Washington Blvd.N., Space 68, Renton, 98056, said Terrace Homeowners' residents of Lake Terrace Park have endured many sleepless nights since Association, Impending Sale receiving their one-year eviction notices in August. She wondered how the of Property City could process permits for a proposed development on property that has not yet transferred ownership. Ms. Kraft described the travails of a former Lake Terrace Park resident,who decided to move after receiving the eviction notice but has since encountered numerous crises and financial difficulties related to her move. She concluded by asking the City to help residents buy this property. Mayor Tanner clarified that the City issues permits only to owners of record. r... Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler cautioned against over-reliance on statements and policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan, explaining that although the City worked long and hard on this document, State law holds that October 5, 1998 Renton City Council Minute Page 328 whenever a jurisdiction's Comprehensive Plan and its "Zoning Code conflict, the latter overrules the former.

Troy Schlepp, Planning Intern, explained that the proposed annexation area is located across from Hazen High School. Signatures representing about 49% of the total assessed valuation were included on the 10%Notice of Intent to Annex petition. The subject area includes three single family homes and one residential accessory building, while the remaining area is vacant. King County's current zoning for the properties is R-4. Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the properties as Residential-Single Family and Residential-Rural. Typical zoning would be R-8 and R-5. All City departments and divisions state that service to the area would represent a logical extension of their respective functions and systems, with the exception of the Water Utility, as the properties are served by Water District 90. Referring to existing water quality, flooding, erosion and habitat problems within the Honey Creek sub-basin, Mr. Schlepp said as a result, any future development would be required to install storm water management facilities to City standards. Responding to Council President Edwards, Mr. Schlepp confirmed that the proposed annexation area is well within the urban growth boundary,which is situated east of 146th Ave. SE. Audience comment was invited. Correspondence was read from Robert 0. Russell, 14505 SE 112th Pl.,Renton, 98059, stating that the proposal had his full opposition as he feared the kind of growth the annexation would bring. He also felt that the annexation would benefit only the petitioner by providing 341 October 26, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 347 sewer service to the annexed properties. Charles Dietsch, 3737 Park Ave.N.,Renton, said that as the owner of property located at Sunset Blvd. and 142nd Ave.NE, he was keenly interested in whether Renton will provide sewer service to the proposed annexation area, and if so,whether his property could receive this service as well. David Allen, 14433 SE 112th PI., Renton, stated that he and most of his neighbors oppose this proposal. He disliked the incremental annexing of smaller properties, and did not want to further complicate emergency services in this area. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL: ACCEPT THE 10%NOTICE OF INTENT TO ANNEX; AUTHORIZE CIRCULATION OF THE 60%PETITION TO ANNEX; REQUIRE THE ADOPTION OF CITY ZONING ON THE PROPERTY CONSISTENT WITH RENTON'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; AND REQUIRE THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSUME A PROPORTIONAL SHARE OF RENTON'S BONDED INDEBTEDNESS. CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE City Clerk Marilyn Petersen reviewed a written administrative report REPORT summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1998 and beyond. Items noted included: • On October 15th, 28 Renton firefighters honed their skills at a practice burn in a donated Kennydale house. • The Seattle City Council approved the Seattle/Renton water franchise agreement on October 19th. The agreement will be presented to the Renton City Council for its approval on November 2nd. • The City Attorney's Office obtained a reversal of the injunction granted by King County Superior Court to the Lucas Children's Trust Fund, allowing work on the East Kennydale sewer interceptor to proceed. • City Transfer is currently removing the Cedar River dredge materials stockpiled at the Narco site, and expects to complete this job by the end of the year. AUDIENCE COMMENT Kim Browne, 1003 N. 28th Pl., Renton, 98056,relayed her objection to Citizen Comment:Browne— Labrador Ventures Preliminary Labrador Venture's proposed residential development in the vicinity of Lake Plat, d Wash Blvd Preliminary 14 Washington Blvd., Burnett Ave. N., and N. 28th Pl. in the Kennydale area. She was troubled in particular by the proposed site access, which would not allow for sufficient sight distance, thus creating an unacceptable safety hazard. She was additionally concerned by the developer's application for a variance to clear almost 200 lineal feet of quality wildlife habitat along steep slopes. Saying that the plan must be changed to reflect the ideals of the community as well as to ensure public safety and the protection of an environmentally- sensitive area, she said the plat would be deserving of approval only if the following modifications are made: site access is moved from Burnett Ave. to �r Lake Washington Blvd. in the vicinity of lots 7 and 8; the zoning for the eastern 4.7 acres is maintained as R-1; and the ravine remains undisturbed and a road is not built over it, either by use of fill and a culvert or by any other method October 26, 1998 Kenton City Council Minutes Page 348 (including a bridge). Ms. Browne submitted a petition containing 119 signatures of Kennydale residents indicating their agreement with these conditions. Mayor Tanner noted that the proposal is open for public comment until October mod 29th, after which it will undergo environmental review before proceeding to a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner. Citizen Comment: Moore— Michael Moore, 1220 N. 28th Pl., Renton, 98056, spoke against the proposed Labrador Ventures Preliminary rezone for the eastern property of Labrador Ventures, saying that the area Plat, Lk Wash Blvd (PP-98- should remain R-1 in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the 141) desires of the Kennydale community. Noting the site's many physical and topographical considerations, he said the proposed access road is not, as the applicant has stated, "desperately needed." Rather, the intersection of Burnett and N. 28th Pl. is already difficult, given the steep grade of the road and its curve, which greatly limit driver sight distance. Mr. Moore concluded that the site is home to many species, including black-tailed deer and pileated woodpeckers. Responding to Councilman Corman, Mr. Moore said any development of this property should be managed by limiting the density that is allowed. He also suggested that every effort be made to avoid building a culvert over the area's stream. Councilman Parker noted that the City made numerous vigorous efforts to I purchase this property from its previous owner,but was consistently rebuffed. I Citizen Comment: Shure— Charles Shure, 1201 N. 28th Pl., Renton, 98056, emphasized that the stream Labrador Ventures Preliminary which exists on this property flows year-round, and in the autumn, salmon ModPlat,Lk Wash Blvd (PP-98- spawn at its mouth. He feared that disturbing the ravine would be detrimental 141) to the area's wildlife and could possibly even destroy its habitat. In response to Councilman Corman, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman confirmed that a State Department of Fisheries hydraulic permit would be required to perform any construction affecting or involving the stream. He offered to look into whether the development will need a shoreline permit as well.

Cheryl Taylor and Betsy Prather accepted the award on behalf of Target. Executive: 1999-2000 Budget Mayor Tanner introduced his 1999-2000 Proposed Budget presentation by reviewing the Administration's 1998 major accomplishments. In the past year, Renton has: funded over$500,000 in neighborhood sidewalk and street repairs; continued economic development in the downtown core; completed the final transit hub design; removed the Holm building at S. 3rd St. and Main Ave. S. and dedicated the lot as a Veteran's Memorial Park; negotiated a franchise agreement with Seattle Public Utilities; completed phase one of the Oakesdale Ave. S. extension project; and completed renovations to the new city hall. The total proposed 1999 Budget is $129,783,376. Mayor Tanner explained that of this total, $53,995,796 will be used for general governmental purposes, including program administration,planning,public safety, economic development,building activities, streets,parks,recreation and library services. Utility funds in the amount of$41,788,230,which are generated through rates and user fees,will pay for maintenance, capital improvements, regional sewage 'no treatment and administration to maintain a healthy water supply. The remainder of the budget is made up of capital projects and smaller, special purpose funds. 357 November 2, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 357 Continuing,the Mayor said that the proposed budget continues to fund basic services at existing levels. In addition,he recommends the hiring of six police officers, three firefighters, a street maintenance worker, and one part-time �.., utility meter reader. Mayor Tanner emphasized that water rates will not increase and a solid waste rate increase of 5% is needed only to recover higher pass-through costs. Mayor Tanner announced that the City experienced exceptional economic growth in 1998. He expected that more than $2,000,000 dollars will be available to meet one-time needs. One of the most significant details of the budget is a proposal to decrease property tax rates by over 5.4%. The tax rate would be reduced from$3.55 to$3.40 per thousand assessed valuation. This tax cut, along with special levy reductions next year, will provide significant property tax relief. Explaining how the budget helps achieve the City's goals,Mayor Tanner said it assumes continued economic health,but at a lower growth rate. It also allows for the possibility that the economy could change. Concluding,he said the budget provides sufficient funding of basic services, implements the six-year business plan, invests in infrastructure, and provides amenities and improvements that will leave a legacy for future generations. Responding to Councilman Clawson, Mayor Tanner agreed that the hard work and dedication of City employees makes this budget possible,and he expressed his appreciation for their efforts. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1998 and beyond. Items noted included: • In an effort to tell the public how the new DUI laws will affect them, an educational video prepared by the Washington State Traffic Safety Commission will be broadcast on Channel 28 at various times from November 5 through November 12, 1998. • The Recreation Services Special Athletics celebrated their completion of six weeks of practice and training at the Maplewood Driving Range with a graduation day round of golf at Maplewood Golf Course. • Teen volunteers from the Renton Youth Council and Hazen, Liberty, Renton, Lindbergh, and Kentridge High Schools contributed to the success of the Holiday Boo Carnival held on October 24th at the Renton Community Center. Police: Assault at Coulon Responding to Councilman Corman, Chief of Police Garry Anderson stated that Beach Park considering the usage of the City's parks and trails,very few incidents occur such as the recent assault at Coulon Beach Park. He recommended that citizens use their best common sense when using the parks and trails by being accompanied by another person or staying within sight of people. Chief Anderson also encouraged citizens to report suspicious activities and people. Responding to Council inquiry, Chief Anderson replied that the public is notified of this type of incident within 24 hours.

MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION AS READ. CARRIED. Stephen Saunders accepted the proclamation on behalf of the 33 chiropractors who serve the City of Renton and the surrounding community. SPECIAL PRESENTATION Economic Development Director Betty Nokes announced that the City of Executive: City Web Site Renton's web site received a"Silver Circle"award from the City-County National Award Communications and Marketing Association. Renton's web site, designed by r.. Steven Denison and Julie Brewer, took second place in the technology category for cities and counties ranging from 45,000 to 100,000 in population. Those judging the entries stated that Renton's web site provides an elegant gateway to loads of useful information. November 9, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 366 Steven Denison and Julie Brewer presented the award to Mayor Tanner and the Council. Mr. Denison reported that Renton's web site received 6,200 hits this week, a tremendous increase over last year's average of 1,100 weekly hits. Ms. Brewer acknowledged assistance from members of the City's Web Team, comprised of employees from each department who maintain web pages and information respective to their departments. PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Davis, 132nd Ave accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public meeting SE (Union Ave NE) to consider a 10%Notice of Intent to Annex Petition for 3.8 acres located east of 132nd Ave. SE(Union Ave.NE); petitioner,Davis. Michael Kattermann,Director of Neighborhoods& Strategic Planning, explained that the 3.8 acres constitute one legal, vacant lot. Although staff and the proponent contacted other single family property owners to the north, east and south in an effort to expand the annexation area, everyone contacted declined to pursue annexation of their properties. Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the parcel as Residential Single Family. Typical zoning for this designation is R-8 (residential, up to eight dwelling units per acre). Continuing, Mr. Kattermann said one potential problem involves emergency services response and the fact that the street already changes mid-block from Union Ave.NE to 132nd Ave. SE. He felt, however, that any concerns could be satisfactorily addressed through mutual aid and response. Responding to Councilman Parker,Mr. Kattermann said Sierra Heights Elementary School is located on the other side of 132nd Ave. SE. The school property is contiguous to Renton's boundary, and could be annexed to the City at any time. Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL: ACCEPT THE 10% NOTICE OF INTENT TO ANNEX, AUTHORIZE CIRCULATION OF THE 60% PETITION, REQUIRE THE ADOPTION OF CITY ZONING ON THE PROPERTY CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND REQUIRE THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSUME A PROPORTIONAL SHARE OF THE CITY'S BONDED INDEBTEDNESS. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Budget: 1999-2000 accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider the proosed 1999-2000 Budget. Victoria Runkle,Finance& Information Services Administrator,presented the proposed 1999-2000 City of Renton budget in the total balanced amounts of $129,783,376 and$115,485,981. She said that although the overall general governmental budget is expected to increase by 10.1%next year,this represents only 4.5% above the actual amount spent last year. Expenditure highlights in 1999 include four new police officers, two jailers, three firefighters, a new street maintenance worker, and increased funding for library materials and various neighborhood programs. On the revenue side,the only increase in property taxes will be for new construction, with base property tax collections remaining the same as in 1998. Water utility rates will not increase either,but solid waste rates will rise by 5%to cover County-imposed costs. ""r November 9, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 367 567 Ms.Runkle concluded that the second and final public hearing on the budget will be held on November 23rd. Audience comment was invited. Mary Ellen Stone,representing King County Sexual Assault Resource Center, PO Box 300, Renton, 98057, asked the City to consider increasing the total amount of money it gives to human service agencies. While she suggested this would be easier to do in good economic times such as Renton is currently enjoying, she added that it would also be important in harder financial times. Carol Chappelle, 2220 SE 8th Pl.,Renton, stated that as a member of the Human Services Advisory Committee, she could attest that requests for human services funding are far greater than the amount of funding available. In fact, the Committee was able to fund only a little more than 60% of the requests it received. Ms. Chappelle remarked that, according to a survey of five local jurisdictions, Renton's per capita spending on human services is the lowest. Juanita Grant, 833 SW Sunset Blvd., Renton, 98056, chair of the Human Services Advisory Committee, said that as human services needs are increasing, she urged the City to increase its human services funding accordingly. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1998 and beyond. Items noted included: • On October 28, several Renton police officers participated in a"Driving Under the Influence"detection workshop to learn how to detect impaired drivers. • The Renton Salvation Army Advisory Board recently elected Renton Chief of Police Garry Anderson as its president and Renton Human Services Manager Karen Marshall as its vice president. • In October, the Recreation Division received over 3,000 hours of volunteer services to help run programs which, at the currently hourly minimum wage, equals more than$15,000 of in-kind services. CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing. Planning: Agreement with Economic Development,Neighborhoods& Strategic Planning Department Kent re: Potential Annexation recommended approval of an interlocal agreement with the City of Kent that Area Boundaries would adjust Renton's southern potential annexation area boundary between SR-197 and Soos Creek from SE 208th St. to S. 200th St., west of 108th Ave. SE, and from SE 208th St. to SE 192nd St. east of 108th Ave. SE.

CORRESPONDENCE Correspondence was read from Douglas R. Snyder, Assistant Superintendent, Citizen Comment: Issaquah Issaquah School District 411, 565 NW Holly St., Issaquah, WA, 98027, School District—School requesting that Renton impose mitigation fees on its behalf if the City proceeds Impact Fees with annexing property within its jurisdiction. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. CARRIED. Councilman Corman urged the Committee to seek assurances from the School District that any money collected from development in Renton would benefit Renton residents. He said if Renton agrees to impose mitigation fees on behalf of the Issaquah School District, this correlation must be made. Councilman Parker agreed, adding that the Renton School District does not impose development mitigation fees but rather obtains necessary funding through voter-approved bond issues and levies. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler said in the future,the City will probably Ono want to address the problem of conflicting jurisdiction and special district boundaries, since confusion can result if someone has a Renton address,resides within the Issaquah School District, actually lives in unincorporated King County, and is served by a fire district. She suggested that some boundary line adjustments might be in order. Citizen Comment: Juvenile Correspondence was read from Arlene Rankin, 275 SW 194th Pl.,Normandy Court Conference Committee Park,WA, 98166,requesting meeting accommodations at City Hall for the —Meeting Space for Diversion Juvenile Court Conference Committee Diversion Program.

Public Safety Committee Public Safety Committee Chair Corman presented a report regarding changes to Legal: Adoption of State Laws the Criminal Code relating to dangerous weapons. The Committee convened re: Dangerous Weapons on November 9, 1998 to consider enacting legislation relating to the adoption of State law regarding firearms and other dangerous weapons. The following sections would be added to Renton's City Code by reference: RCW 9.41.240,which deals with individuals who are between 18 and 21 years of age. It identifies where such an individual may possess a pistol. A violation of this section is a misdemeanor. November 9, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 369 369 RCW 9.41.250,which makes sales, manufacture, etc. of certain weapons a crime. It also makes it a crime to furtively carry certain weapons, or use a silencer on a gun. A violation of this section is a gross misdemeanor. ,,..,. RCW 9.41.260,which makes it a crime to run a place of amusement where they exhibit skill in throwing sharp instruments or shooting guns or bows at human beings. A violation of this section is a misdemeanor. RCW 9.41.300, which identifies where people cannot go when they are carrying weapons. Violation of this section is a gross misdemeanor. It was clear to the members of the committee that these State provisions should be incorporated into Renton's Code. It furthers the goals of this council to have a safe city in which people can live,work, and play. The Committee therefore recommended adoption of the proposed legislation. MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Transportation Committee Transportation Committee Chair Schlitzer presented a report regarding an Utililty: Puget Sound Energy agreement with Puget Sound Energy(PSE) for the conversion of underground Agreement for Main Ave S power lines on Main Ave. South. The Main Ave. S. improvement project Underground Conversion requires the underground conversion of existing utilities. The Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission requires the City to enter into an agreement with PSE to provide trenching,restoration, and survey, and to pay 30% of the conversion costs. The trenching,restoration and survey costs are in the current construction contract. The estimated conversion cost is $290,000, $87,000 of which is Renton's obligation to pay PSE upon completion of the work. The Committee recommended that Council authorize the Mayor r and City Clerk to execute the underground conversion agreement with Puget Sound Energy. MOVED BY SCHLITZER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT CARRIED. Transportation: NE 6th Transportation Committee Chair Schlitzer presented a report regarding the Pl/Femdale Ave NE Stop Sign request for a stop sign at NE 6th Pl. and Ferndale Ave. NE. A traffic Request(Denied) engineering study was conducted to provide information on the extent of possible safety issues at the intersection of NE 6th Pl. and Ferndale Ave.NE, and vicinity. Based upon this information, including an evaluation of accidents in the area and speed studies, it was found that, at this time,no additional traffic control devices are needed. The Committee recommended that Council authorize the Administration to periodically monitor NE 6th Pl. and Ferndale Ave.NE to determine when and if additional traffic control devices may become appropriate. In addition, the Committee recommended that Transportation Systems Division staff contact local residents to discuss their concerns and potential solutions. MOVED BY SCHLITZER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT CARRIED. Transportation: Port Quendall Transportation Committee Chair Schlitzer presented a report recommending RR Xings(Conversion from that the City Council authorize the Administration to apply to have the private Private to Public) railroad crossings serving the three parcels associated with the Port Quendall development(i.e., Baxter, Quendall Terminals and Barbee Mills sites)changed into public railroad crossings once the City has exercised its option to purchase the Quendall Terminales property and once the Administration receives adequate assurances of ultimate development of these properties. The Committee further recommended that no public funds be used for any costs associated with the development of these crossings. MOVED BY r November 9, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 370 SCHLITZER, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT CARRIED. Parks: Family Pool Bond Issue Councilman Parker noted that the family pool bond issue put forth by the City to voters last week has apparently failed to achieve the required 60% super- majority approval. He thanked many of those who supported the bond issue and tried to secure its passage. He then noted that while the bond issue failed, it was approved by over 57% of those who voted, indicating that a good number of Renton residents desire this type of facility. Therefore, it was moved by Parker, seconded by Corman, Council refer this matter to the Finance Committee with the intention of having the Administration review this issue and possible funding sources.* Explaining he had seconded the motion for the purposes of discussion,Mr. Corman said while he respected the fact that the bond issue was turned down, he also felt that the City has an obligation to look into replacing a public pool facility that it had to close. Council President Edwards said while he strongly supported the bond issue and was disappointed that it did not pass, he believed that the City should not take any further action on this matter at this time. He suggested that the City instead wait to be approached by those who are willing to get involved and bring forth a new proposal. Councilmembers Nelson and Keolker-Wheeler concurred. *The motion was withdrawn. Utilities Committee Utilities Committee Chair Clawson presented a report recommending that the Utility: Langlois Sewer City deny the Langloises' request for relief from the special assessment district Connection Request charges associated with connection of their property at 10403 - 126th Ave. SE to the City's sanitary sewer system, and that no action be taken to revise City now Code. The Committee further recommended that the Administration contact the King County Department of Assessments and the Seattle-King County Department of Public Health to suggest a review of the qualification requirements for deferral of special assessment district fees to reflect cost of living increases and/or special situations. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Councilmen Clawson and Schlitzer explained that King County already has a program for deferment of special assessment district charges, and it is not in Renton's best interest to duplicate this program. Planning & Development Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Committee recommending the elimination of City Council as an appellate body for Legal: City Council Hearing Examiner decisions. The Committee met on this topic on Thursday, Elimination as Appellate Body November 5th. This issue was first raised by the recent Supreme Court case of for Hearing Examiner Mission Springs v. City of Spokane, wherein individual councilmembers were Decisiosn held to be potentially liable in damages to a developer because of interference with the issuance of a grading permit. The City Attorney explained to the Council that the logic of that case would also extend to city councilmembers sitting as appeals officers when handling appeals from decisions of the Hearing Examiner. The Committee also noted that the appeal system is generally very structured in that the Council must find an error in fact or law. When combined with the appearance of fairness doctrine,which prevents city councilmembers from discussing pending appeals with constituents, the appeal process is WMW confining and frustrating to both Councilmembers and constituents. For these reasons, the Committee recommended that the full Council request the City November 9, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 371 X71 Attorney to draft an ordinance making all appeals from Hearing Examiner decisions appealable to Superior Court and not to the City Council. The City Council will retain its jurisdiction, as required by statute, to handle all rezones. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, .•• COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler explained that when the Council hears appeals as a quasi-judicial body, it must make its decision on the record without any new testimony from the parties involved. This is frustrating to those who come to Council with the expectation that it can help them, or at least hear them out,and consequently is frustrating to Council as well. Ms. Keolker-Wheeler added that those involved in an appeal cannot even speak to Councilmembers on the phone about the specifics of their case, which prevents Councilmembers from listening to its constituents about issues that deeply affect or concern them. She concluded that many of the issues being appealed to the Council involve highly technical issues that should be dealt with at either the administrative or Hearing Examiner level. Council President Edwards expressed concern with the proposed change, saying that Council is best suited to hear these appeals because, as the legislative body, it approved the applicable land use regulations in the first place. Adding that the process gives Council input on how well or poorly the City's regulations are working, he said the current system is fairly streamlined and not overly cumbersome. Councilman Corman supported the change, saying that the current appeals process is at odds with Council's role to be representatives for its citizens. Not being able to seek additional testimony or clarification, or otherwise invoke himself in the process,made him feel as if he was not doing the job he was r... elected to do. Another problem with the current process is that it places all Councilmembers in the position of enforcing regulations that are appealed to the full Council, even if one or more of them did not support a particular land use regulation when it was originally adopted. Councilman Parker agreed with Mr. Edwards that the current process gives citizens the opportunity to seek redress not before a Hearing Examiner or a Superior Court judge,but before its elected, local representatives. Noting that appellants are often not Renton citizens but rather developers from outside the City, Councilman Clawson commented on the need for separation of powers and his belief that Council's role is to make the laws rather than apply them. Adding that Council's decisions in these cases are always appealable to Superior Court,he said he might feel differently if Council had the final authority. Addressing a remark by Mr.Parker, Ms. Keolker-Wheeler explained that changes in State law have eliminated most of Council's discretion in these matters. She emphasized that Council can overturn or amend the Hearing Examiner's decision only if it finds an error of fact or law, which it usually does not. She noted another advantage to making this change would be that Councilmembers could discuss the specifics of these cases with the persons involved, since such communications would no longer be prohibited. Mr. Corman said the current quasi-judicial process creates a mere illusion that Council is able to serve or represent its constituents in these matters. Mr. Edwards replied that for many people, taking a matter to court can be an intimidating prospect. He asked how many of these cases have been appealed .1,572 November 9, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 372 to Superior Court this year. City Attorney Lawrence J. Warren said there have been two; one which was appealed from a City Council decision, and the other from a Board of Adjustment decision. Mr. Edwards added that when the City expedited its land use process, appeals to Council were retained as a safeguard for those involved. and Mrs.Keolker-Wheeler requested that the City Attorney explain his concerns on this issue as well as how State law regarding land use appeals has changed over the last 15 to 20 years. Mayor Tanner replied that the City Attorney is not a party to the debate before the Council, and thus would not be permitted to enter into the debate or issue a statement for or against the proposed change. Mrs. Keolker-Wheeler expressed disappointment that Council would not be provided with the requested information at this time. *MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL TABLE THE MAIN MOTION UNTIL THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING SO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE TO COUNCILMEMBERS.

Planning & Development The following Planning&Development Committee report was tabled at the �.... Committee 11/09/98 Council meeting. It was MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, Legal: City Council SECONDED BY CORMAN,COUNCIL TAKE THIS MATTER FROM THE Elimination as Appellate Body TABLE AT THIS TIME. CARRIED. for Hearing Examiner Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Decisions recommending the elimination of City Council as an appellate body for Hearing Examiner decisions. The Committee met on this topic on Thursday, November 5th. This issue was first raised by the recent Supreme Court case of Mission Springs v. City of Spokane,wherein individual councilmembers were held to be potentially liable in damages to a developer because of interference with the issuance of a grading permit. The City Attorney explained to the Council that the logic of that case would also extend to city councilmembers sitting as appeals officers when handling appeals from decisions of the Hearing Examiner. The Committee also noted that the appeal system is generally very structured in that the Council must find an error in fact or law. When combined with the appearance of fairness doctrine, which prevents city councilmembers from discussing pending appeals with constituents, the appeal process is confining and frustrating to both Councilmembers and constituents. For these reasons, the Committee recommended that the full Council request the City Attorney to draft an ordinance making all appeals from Hearing Examiner decisions appealable to Superior Court and not to the City Council. The City Council will retain its jurisdiction, as required by statute,to handle all rezones.

Committee CitySource,our monthly external newsletter, was established to enhance Executive: Contract with communication between City government and the Renton business and Renton Reporter for residential community. The basic goal is to inform Renton residents of current CitySource issues, upcoming events and important information about the City. The City requested proposals to print and distribute CitySource. A proposal was received from the Renton Reporter. Since 1995,the City has used the Renton Reporter for advertising timely information to our residents in a cost- effective manner. Two recent surveys (the pool survey and cable channel 28 38 8 November 23, 1998 Renton City Councii Minutes Page 388 survey)indicate that Renton residents obtain information about the City from the Renton Reporter. The Renton Reporter's proposal guarantees free delivery of the newspaper which carries CitySource to every household within the Renton city limits, mind using the current circulation number of 27,100. CitySource will run as a two- page advertisement,normally falling in the center section. Total cost for the two pages will be$2,700 per month. This cost includes 27,100 copies mailed to residents,two additional colors and 500 copies of the newspaper for City employees. This rate will be honored for 1999 and 2000, with adjustments limited only to unforeseen postal-rate or newsprint increases. These adjustments will be limited to the actual cost increases,with newsprint calculated to the actual amount used by CitySource. Charges for added circulation(for example, annexations) will be limited to the actual cost of printing and postage. At current costs, added circulation will amount to$210 per 1,000 additional copies printed and mailed.

Public Safety Committee Public Safety Committee Chair Corman presented a report recommending that Fire: Ambulance Company the Administration be authorized to enter into service agreements with local Service Agreements ambulance companies. The Renton Fire Department has had verbal agreements with local ambulance companies in effect for many years. In the last few years, the number of ambulance companies asking to be put on rotation has increased. In order for the Fire Department to outline the level of appropriate care that is expected for our citizens,to set appropriate standards for companies responding in Renton, and to ensure that we have leverage in the event that a company does not meet our standards, it has become necessary to put the agreements in written form. The agreement details the response time requirements, dress code of ambulance employees, standards of service, equipment, staffing, insurance requirements and liability for each company. The purpose of the agreement is to provide an equal opportunity for the private ambulance companies to be placed on the rotation. It also gives the Fire Chief the ability to remove companies from rotation due to non-compliance with the agreement.

APPROVAL OF MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL COUNCIL MINUTES APPROVE THE MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 23, 1998,AS PRESENTED. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARINGS The proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local Annexation: East Renton and state laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider the East Plateau, A-98-001 Renton Plateau 60%Annexation Petition for 193 acres located north and south of SE 128th Street. Owen Dennison,Associate Planner, explained that Council accepted the 10% Notice of Intent to Annex petition for this proposal on October 12th, and authorized circulation of the 60%petition. The first public hearing on zoning was held before the Planning Commission on November 18th. Since then,the 60%petition has been certified as sufficient by the King County Assessor's Office. Continuing,Mr.Dennison said the proposed annexation area is minimally developed with medium or low density single family and small-scale commercial uses. Much of it remains vacant. Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Residential Rural,Residential Single Family,Residential Options, and Convenience Commercial. Typical zoning would be R-5,R-8,R- 10 and Convenience Commercial,respectively. The City had a fiscal impact analysis conducted for this proposal,based on both current development and on the property's full development potential. At current development, the annexation would create an annual shortfall of $26,311. At full development, it would generate annual revenues of$277,553. These figures represent General Fund impacts only and do not address the Waterworks Funds,which operate as self-funding enterprises. Mr.Dennison reported that King County is currrently involved in two projects addressing problem surface water areas(one of which located immediately 597 December 7, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 397 downstream of the proposed annexation area and the other of which addresses erosion in the Maplewood Creek ravine). If Renton approves this annexation, King County may ask that it participate monetarily in these projects. The Surface Water Division's capital improvement project budget already includes about$600,000 for improvements to the Maplewood Creek ravine. Annexation would also require one additional neighborhood park and one additional community park to serve the projected full-development population of 1,892 in this area. Estimated costs for park acquisition and development have been included in the fiscal analysis. Water service would continue to be provided by Water District#90 upon annexation, although Renton would provide fire, wastewater and sanitary sewer services. Mr. Dennison noted that the benefits of annexation are that it would give Renton control over land uses along this gateway corridor. Also, any new development would be served by sewers, subject to City regulations. He added that the annexation is generally consistent with Renton's Comprehensive Plan policies and the objectives of King County's Boundary Review Board. One unresolved issue is the request from the Issaquah School District that Renton authorize and collect impact fees on its behalf from new development in the proposed annexation area(much of which overlaps the school district's boundaries). This matter has already been referred to Council's Finance Committee. Audience comment was invited. Mike Snow, 14114 SE 132nd St.,Renton, supported the annexation but was concerned about the potential for higher density zoning(i.e.,R-8 and R-10). Saying that most of the developed area has been built out at much lower densities and noting that much of the surrounding area is already zoned R-8, he suggested that Renton apply zoning no higher than R-5 to the annexation area. He advised that one reason to do so would be to reduce the pressure on infrastructure needs in this area. Responding to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Mr. Dennison said reducing the zoning density at this point would require an amendment to Renton's Comprehensive Plan, which could be initiated by the City after the first of the year. He added that R-5 can only be applied within one-half mile of the urban growth boundary. Claudia Donnelly, 10415 - 147th Ave. SE, Renton, urged Council to approve the Issaquah School District's request for impact fees in this area. Explaining that Issaquah voters rejected two school bond issues last year, she felt it was appropriate that new development pay for its impacts on the school system. On another subject,Ms. Donnelly said a proposed single family development in this area has been appealed to the King County Council. If it moves forward, she questioned what the agreement will be between Renton and King County for this project. She was concerned about potential traffic and surface water runoff problems in this area, and said that R-8 zoning is not compatible with R- 4 or R-5 zoning since apartments do not belong in single family residential areas. Councilman Corman replied that while he understands the importance of education and the need to provide funding for this purpose,he felt that the Issaquah School District should supply Renton with information about how it will use any impact fees collected within Renton. He specifically was interested in any plans to use these impact fees to build new facilities benefiting Renton December 7, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 398 residents. Councilman Parker commented that this fee is estimated to be about $6,000 to $8,000 per single family home. Ben Reid, 14412 SE 128th St.,Renton,requested specific information on who will be responsible for paying for any sewers constructed in this area. Mayor Tanner offered to send Mr. Reid information on this subject. Mike Proulx, 14331 - 138th Ave. SE,Renton, responded to a comment made by Ms. Donnelly by clarifying that R-8 is a single family zoning category,not multi-family as was implied. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE 60%PETITION TO ANNEX THE EAST RENTON PLATEAU AREA, CONTINGENT ON APPROVAL FROM THE BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD, AND AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO PREPARE AND SUBMIT A NOTICE OF INTENT TO ANNEX THIS AREA TO THE BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD. CARRIED. (See page 403 for ordinance.) MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL REFER THE MATTER OF ZONING IN THIS AREA TO THE PLANNING& DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. CARRIED. EDNSP: Surplus Property, 339 The proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local Burnett Ave S and state laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider surplusing of City-owned property at 339 Burnett Ave. South. Susan Carlson,Economic Development,Neighborhoods & Strategic Planning Administrator, explained that this approximately 27,000 square foot,primarily ""rr vacant, site was purchased in 1995 to provide additional property for the downtown transit center. Final plans for the transit center and the piazza have subsequently negated the City's need for this site. Numerous persons have expressed interest in purchasing this property for development. Given that the City's vision for the downtown involves urban densities and and an intensity of uses, including market rate housing and vibrant retail space, staff recommends that the property be sold for a mixed-use development consistent with the Renton's objectives for this area. Ms. Carlson added that staff recommends selling the property now since the market is still active and good quality developers would likely be interested in the site. Bill Kreager, Mithun Partners, described three ways in which the property could potentially be developed. Common factors among the three scenarios were three to four stories of high-density housing (62 units), with commercial uses on the ground floor and structured parking for residents. Mr. Kreager added that the successful proposal would have to consider how the adjoining alley, the neighborhood to the west, and Burnett Ave. S would all be affected. Ms. Carlson concluded that if Council approves surplusing this property, staff would advertise for requests for proposals for development. All proposals would be required to meet certain criteria as determined by the City; for example, they would have to address concerns of area neighbors relating to light and bulk. now Audience comment was invited. December 7, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 399 Jeff Dineen, 320 Smithers Ave. S., Renton, 98055, submitted a petition containing eleven signatures expressing concern about this proposal. Mr. Dineen said although area neighbors had previously submitted a similar petition r... last April also regarding this subject, at which time they asked to be kept apprised of and involved in the process,no notice was given of the City's recent proposal until the day before Thanksgiving. He questioned whether the site must be sold quickly and added that the City has seemingly ignored the request of nearby residents that the property be considered for long-term parking rather than high density development. Mr. Dineen concluded that the three proposals described by Mr. Keager are unacceptable to the neighbors due to: the large volume of traffic projected for the alley; the height of the building, which would dramatically affect light and openness for existing property owners; and balconies on the alley side of the building would negatively impact privacy for residents to the west. Councilman Corman hoped that the City would listen to Mr. Dineen's ideas, especially as the property is still publicly owned at this time. He also suggested that the City give priority to development proposals that demonstrate mitigation of impacts to neighboring residents. Mayor Tanner stated that Renton's entire downtown core is zoned for high- density housing; thus all the development proposals will be required to include this as a component of the project. Responding to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, City Attorney Lawrence J. Warren said the City is not required to surplus the property before soliciting proposals for its development; however, it is possible that no proposals would be received unless the property was formally declared to be surplus. Mr. �. Warren added that Council will still have the opportunity to review the proposals before actually selling the site to a third party. The City would not have to accept any of the proposals if it judged none them all to be unsatisfactory. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 403 for resolution.) Councilman Parker asked that letters of notification be sent to neighboring property owners keeping them informed of actions taken related to this site. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler added that the residents should also be given a chance to provide input on the criteria developed for the request for proposals. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1998 and beyond. Items noted included: * The Recreation Division's Special Population Program hosted over 150 participants, volunteers,parents and friends at the annual Fall Sports Awards Banquet at the Renton Senior Activity Center. * The Recreation Division also hosted the Washington Recreation and Park Association's 1998 Non-contact State Flag Football Tournament on December 5th and 6th. * Firefighter Gary Harsh was named the department's 1998 Renton Firefighter of the Year. * The rainstorm which occurred on November 25th was nearly a 25-year December 7, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 400 event, with 3.2 inches of rain falling within 24 hours.

The Committee convened on December 3, 1998,to SW, CU-98-113 consider the appeal. Boeing expects to use the helistop to bring in prospective customers to its headquarters. It expects that the helistop will be used for one to eight helicopter trips per month and be otherwise available for use by the community in emergencies. One of the conditions imposed by the Hearing Examiner +� would have required Boeing to reapply for another conditional use permit after five years. Boeing appealed this condition. The Committee found that there was a substantial error of fact in the Hearing December 14, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 410 Examiner's decision. Specifically, the Committee found there was no evidence in the record to support: 1. Conclusion#5 as it relates to noise problems or the concern regarding future requests by other landowners for similar permits; Una 2. Conclusion#6 as it relates to noise; 3. Conclusion#12 as it relates to noise and future requests by other landowners for similar permits.

Items noted included: • Renton asked the City of Seattle to change the way in which citizens were being notified of Seattle's public workshops on the Cedar River Watershed Habitat Conservation Plan, since some residents felt they were being led to infer that the notification was coming from Renton, and further, that their attendance at the workshop was required. • The City's Giving Tree Program enjoyed a wonderful response to those in need, with approximately 90 individuals receiving donated gifts. In addition,Renton's firefighters and the Renton Police Chaplaincy Fund donated over 150 toys to the Giving Tree and the Salvation Army's Toy-n- Joy fund. • Bids for phase two of the Cedar River Flood Control project(floodwalls and levees)will be opened on February 9`", with construction to start March 15cn • The Department of Justice has approved a grant for Renton's Police Department for mobile data computers and related technology in the amount of$303,675. AUDIENCE COMMENT Margaret Siemion, 3418 SE 6th St.,Renton, 98058,did not support allowing Citizen Comment: Siemion— the Taco Time administrative headquarters site on Maple Valley Highway to be Taco Time Rezone and rezoned from Convenience Commercial (CC) to Commercial Arterial (CA). Expansion She said that allowing a rezone to CA while requiring a development agreement would merely"sugarcoat"the proposed expansion of this building. 5 January 4, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 5 Concluding that this decision will affect the future of the adjacent Maplewood neighborhood, she asked that the Council's decision on this matter ensure protection of the residential area. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, r.. COUNCIL SUSPEND ITS RULES AND ADVANCE TO THE PLANNING& DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE'S MAJORITY AND MINORITY REPORTS ON THIS SUBJECT. CARRIED. Planning&Development Committee Majority Report Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a Rezone: Taco Time Expansion majority report regarding the request from Taco Time for a Comprehensive (Maple Valley Highway),R- Plan amendment for its headquarters located on Maple Valley Highway near Monroe Ave. SE. The Committee met four times to consider the staff, Planning Commission,and citizen input regarding Taco Time's request for a Comprehensive Plan amendment,rezone, development agreement, and general Commercial Arterial (CA)zone amendments. A majority of the Committee recommended the following: 1. Cedar River Market and Cedar River Barbershop properties: Amend the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning Map from Residential Single Family/R-8 to Convenience Commercial (CC). 2. Taco Time lease/option properties: a) Maintain the Convenience Commercial designation for the Taco Time offices,transmission line easement, and espresso stand site. b) Redesignate the southern portion of Parcel No. 5126900205, the southerly residential lot adjacent to Taco Time offices and the transmission line easement, from Residential Single Family/R-8 to Convenience Commercial to allow Taco Time access across their leased properties. The boundary of the new Convenience Commercial designation shall allow for a lot line adjustment that retains the single family residence and results in a conforming lot. c) Amend the Convenience Commercial zone to add"existing, legal Administrative Headquarters Offices"as a secondary use and"the storage of supplies in conjunction with service and office uses"as an accessory use. For "existing, legal Administrative Headquarters Offices,"allow for parking expansions,but not additional building expansions. This would allow Taco Time to expand its parking area over its properties to the east,but not allow for additional building square footage. No new Administrative Headquarters Offices would be allowed. d) Prepare a development agreement or covenants which incorporate Environmental Review Committee(ERC)mitigation measures. We believe the intent of the Comprehensive Plan for this area was to ensure compatible,neighborhood-serving development through the Convenience Commercial designation. The majority approach to the Taco Time site would help ensure protection of the adjacent residential neighborhood by maintaining the Convenience Commercial designation and restricting building expansion. It would also accommodate Taco Time's need to access all of its property and to expand parking. 3. Radiator Repair and Insurance Office Sites: Maintain the Convenience Commercial designation. 4. Conrad vacant parcels: Redesignate the properties from Residential Single Family/R-8 and Residential Options/R-10 subject to a development agreement or covenants which limit the number of lots to seven, limit the unit type to January 4, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 6 detached single family only, and indicate that initial home construction should be one-story with future remodels governed by the R-10 zone in effect at the time. The lot layout should be similar to the attached preliminary layout,and consistent with all City ordinances and codes. arl 5. Amend the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone generally to allow offices, accessory storage for office/service uses, and shoe repair. Incorporating the above recommendations, the Committee requested the Administration to prepare an ordinance for the Code amendments and property redesignations, and to prepare development agreements or covenants for consideration by the City Council.* Planning &Development Planning &Development Committee Member Clawson presented a minority Committee Minority Report report regarding Taco Time's request for a Comprehensive Plan amendment. Rezone: Taco Time Expansion Upon considering the staff, Planning Commission, and citizen input regarding (Maple Valley Highway),R- the Maple Valley Highway Taco Time Comprehensive Plan amendment, rezone, development agreement and general Commercial Arterial (CA)zone amendments, I concur with the majority of the committee on several recommendations, including: Recommendation 1. Cedar River Market and Cedar River Barbershop properties Recommendation 3. Radiator Repair and Insurance Office sites Recommendation 4. Conrad vacant parcels; and Recommendation 5. Amendments to the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone generally. I respectfully dissent from the majority regarding the Taco Time site. I would now also maintain the Convenience Commercial (CC) designation,but recommend allowances for a moderate,one-time expansion of building square footage in addition to allowances for additional parking. The allowance for a moderate building expansion would help keep the Taco Time operation viable for many more years at its current location. Representatives of Taco Time estimated that,with moderate expansion,they could continue to operate for up to 18 more years at their current location. It is a clean,relatively quiet enterprise that has invested in its site. If the business moves to another location, the current buildings and site may end up with multiple tenants,higher turnover, and a less well-kept site. I believe a moderate expansion of the existing building, with necessary environmental and plan review measures,would not significantly impact the neighborhood, and would allow continued co-existence with a responsible corporate neighbor. I would offer an alternate Recommendation 2, as follows: Recommendation 2. Taco Time lease/option properties: I concur with sections 2a, 2b, and 2d,but would change section 2c as shown below: c) Amend the Convenience Commercial(CC)zone to add"existing, legal Administrative Headquarters Offices"as a secondary use and"the storage of supplies in conjunction with service and office uses"as an accessory use. For "existing, legal Administrative Headquarters Offices,"allow for parking expansions,and for a one-time building expansion of 3,500 square feet maximum. No new Administrative Headquarters Offices would be allowed. With Council concurrence, I would request the Administration to prepare an now ordinance for the Code amendments and property redesignations, and to prepare development agreements or covenants for consideration by the City January 4, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 7 Council which incorporate the above recommendations." Citizen Comment: Brosman— Larry Brosman, 3625 NE 9th St.,Renton, 98056, said as the chair of Renton's Taco Time Rezone and Planning Commission,which has formally taken a position on this subject,he �+ Expansion wanted only to note his appreciation of the efforts of numerous groups and individuals to cooperatively and satisfactorily resolve this issue. Citizen Comment: Horvath— Arlene L. Horvath, 3701 SE 5th Pl.,Renton, 98058, asked that the City not Taco Time Rezone and allow Taco Time's building to expand,but permit only more parking at this Expansion site. Councilman Clawson explained that, as someone who manages several commercial lease properties,he knows firsthand the problems that can occur with tenant turnover. Noting that most of Taco Time's headquarters traffic is attributable to employee training,he suggested that this use generates less traffic overall that would a personal services business such as a law, insurance or accounting office. He felt that allowing this moderate expansion would therefore be the prudent thing to do, and concluded that tying the expansion to a development agreement would afford sufficient protections for the Maplewood neighborhood. Responding to Councilman Edwards,Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes confirmed that the City can enter into development agreements with property owners which are more (but not less)restrictive than the applicable zoning criteria. Councilman Parker stated that the current use of this property is rather quiet, with no truly detrimental noise or traffic impacts to the surrounding area. He agreed with Mr. Clawson that the requested expansion seems reasonable, emphasizing that the zoning will not change. Adding that this is private property for which the owner is proposing a moderate expansion and— moreover—is agreeing to certain restrictions,he felt that allowing the expansion would not only be fair but would also strike a balance between the interests of all involved parties. Councilman Schlitzer reviewed the history of this site,pointing out that when this building was first constructed,Taco Time represented to the City that the use would not expand in the future. Now,however, the company is asking for a 25%expansion. Saying that the surrounding neighborhood opposes the expansion,he added that it had also opposed the building's being constructed in the first place. He was troubled with allowing a 25%expansion for a building zoned Convenience Commercial (CC), questioning if the City wants to set a precedent and start allowing this for all CC-zoned areas in Renton. He concluded that although it is reasonable to allow the extra parking,a physical expansion of the building would unacceptably intrude into the neighborhood. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler explained that both of the committee reports would allow expanding the parking area to alleviate spillover onto the residential streets,thereby protecting the neighborhood. Emphasizing that Maplewood is a neighborhood, she said it was never the City's intention for this area to have a great deal of commercial uses. She concluded that inherent in the policies of the Convenience Commercial (CC) zone is that its uses are supposed to serve the existing neighborhood. Mr. Parker cautioned that, if it approves the proposed agreement relating to the single family development on the Conrad parcels,the City would be in danger of selectively setting development standards for particular areas. He maintained that this is a private property issue, saying that if a proposed January 4, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 8 development meets the City's regulations, it should be allowed and not further restricted. Also,he did not believe that the proposed expansion would change the character of the neighborhood. Mrs.Keolker-Wheeler replied that if any precedent is being set by the ..r agreement pertaining to the Conrad parcels, it is that a developer,the City, and affected residents can work together to reach an agreement which is acceptable to all interested parties. Responding to Councilman Edwards,Mike Kattermann,Director of Neighborhoods& Strategic Planning, said that any development agreement for the Taco Time property would be the subject of a public hearing before the City Council prior to its being approved. *Moved by Keolker-Wheeler, seconded by Schlitzer, Council concur in the majority committee report as presented.

APPROVAL OF MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL COUNCIL MINUTES APPROVE THE MINUTES OF JANUARY 11, 1999 AS PRESENTED. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Vacation:Lake View Blvd(104th accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Ave SE),Legacy PartnersNAC- to consider the petition for a street vacation of a portion of Lake View 98-004 Boulevard(104th Ave. SE) for Legacy Partners/Martindale, et al. (VAC-98- 004). Tom Boyns, Property Services Supervisor, explained that the vacation is being requested to facilitate a proposed development project called"The Bluffs" between Lake Washington Blvd. and I-405, south of N. 20th Street. The signatures on the petition represent 90% of the frontage along the right-of-way. to be vacated. Mr. Boyns reported that earlier street vacations have rendered this remaining section of Lake View Blvd. without public access. The City has neither any facilities within the right-of-way, which is undeveloped,nor does it have any plans to use it. Staff and the Board of Public Works both recommend that the vacation be granted as requested. Responding to Council President Parker,Mr. Boyns said the right-of-way was dedicated to the City at the time this area was platted. Because no public funds were expended to acquire the property, Council can set the compensation to be provided up to one-half of its appraised value. Mr. Boyns added that the property amounts to just over two acres in size. Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL APPROVE THE STREET VACATION OF LAKE VIEW BLVD. AS REQUESTED. CARRIED. 28 January 25, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 28 Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler requested that the Administration urge the King County Assessor's Office to place this property on the tax rolls as soon as possible after the vacation is finalized. Saying that Renton's taxpayers deserve to have this done as quickly as possible, she noted that in similar cases in the Now past, it has taken the County as long as two or three years to complete this process. Planning: R-10 and R-14 This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Zoning Code Amendments accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider proposed R-10 (single and multi-family) and R-14(multi-family) Zoning Code amendments (10 units per acre and 14 units per acre, respectively); including density bonus, smaller lot sizes, and other changes to development standards. Lisa Grueter, Senior Planner, explained that the proposed changes were developed in response to two"demonstration"projects, the Village on Union and The Orchards,both of which were designed to provide innovative home ownership opportunities in the City. The Village on Union is made up of small lot single family homes along with nine attached townhouse units. The demonstration portion of The Orchards project has 63 detached and 59 attached units in several configurations. Ms. Grueter added that last year, Council approved a Comprehensive Plan amendment which offers a density bonus in the Residential Options designation that would allow a maximum of thirteen units per acre, on the condition that all the units are detached. The City hopes this will encourage small lot, detached unit development in the R-10 zone. Other proposed changes will ensure consistent terminology in these zones and remove language conflicts. Continuing,Ms. Grueter described the specific changes,one of which is to define single family housing as traditional detached and semi-attached, and multi-family housing as including townhouses and flats. In the R-10 zone, the changes would: offer the aforementioned density bonus; clarify unit types based on the proposed new definition; allow for condominium ownership; delete the specific requirements for site plan review; reduce lot size, lot width, and lot depth standards; increase lot coverage and impervious surface allowances; and reduce building setbacks. For townhouses, for example, the minimum lot width would be reduced from 50 feet to 20 feet, and the minimum lot size would decrease from 3,250 to 2,000 s.f. For detached and semi-attached units,the minimum lot would be reduced from 4,500 to 3,000 s.f.,the maximum lot coverage would increase from 50%to 70%,and the maximum impervious surface allowed would increase from 60%to 75%. For all units,the minimum setback of the front yard to the primary structure would decrease from 15 feet to 10 feet. In the R-14 zone, the changes would: clarify the unit types based on the proposed new definitions; clarify language conflicts relating to which development standards are applied to certain non-residential uses such as recycling collection stations and churches; and clarify fencing and buffering requirements for commercial uses. Concluding,Ms. Grueter said that staff has distributed questionnaires to residents in both of the demonstration project areas to gather opinions of their neighborhood's quality. Responses are expected back next week. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler was concerned with some of the proposed reductions in lot size,width and depth. She questioned, for example,whether it 29 January 25, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 29 would be appropriate to have the minimum width of a townhome be a mere 20 feet. Saying that Renton does not have to accept or agree to densities which are common in Seattle, she felt that it would be possible to provide opportunities WAW for housing and home ownership without negative impacts. Councilman Schlitzer looked forward to the results of the resident survey, emphasizing that all options should be explored in-depth on this issue. Saying that the Village on Union project appears to have been successful, Councilman Corman noted that this development resulted in less overall density than the property's multi-family zoning would have allowed. Councilman Parker wanted to know how much vacant land is currently available for which it would be economically feasible to apply the new development standards. He added that the potential for redevelopment will also have to be considered. Audience comment was invited. Dick Gilroy, 1560- 140th Ave.NE,Bellevue, developer of The Orchards, described the various housing components of the project, which includes single family detached units as well as attached"fee title"homes and stacked, flat, two-story condominiums. As the project nears completion of its total 356 units, only about 50 units remain to be sold. Mr. Gilroy added that all of the units have sold prior to being completed, which attests to their success in meeting the demands of the market. Councilman Corman was concerned that undue pressure not be placed on areas zoned R-8 to upzone to R-10, should the proposed changes be made. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler added that the two demonstration projects had the advantage of working with large parcels, and the development standards might have considerably different impacts on areas surrounding much smaller R-10 properties. Jack Willing, 11555 SE 8th St. #140,Bellevue, 98004, the developer of the Village on Union project, stated that both his project and The Orchards were successful due to having been well-planned and well-executed. He commented on current residential developments in Snohomish County where higher densities and smaller lot sizes are much more difficult to achieve. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler noted that this item will remain in Planning &Development Committee pending a formal recommendation to the full Council and development of an ordinance. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1999 and beyond. Items noted included: * The Surface Water Division's channel project in the Maplewood Golf Course has been completed and water is now flowing from the detention pond through the course across the 10th and 11th fairways, under Maple Valley Highway,to the fish ladder and on to the Cedar River. * The Fire Department has established a new program that will help citizens provide emergency responders with their medical history during an aid call. 30 January 25, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 30 Residents can fill out a special Emergency Medical Information Sheet in advance,place it on the inside of the cupboard door located closest to their refrigerator,and place a red sticker dot on the outside of the door so firefighters know where the form is located. mod AUDIENCE COMMENT Kim Browne, 1003 N. 28th Pl.,Renton, 98056, spoke regarding a request by Citizen Comment: Browne— the developer of"The Bluffs"project for a time extension of its site plan "The Bluffs"Development, approval. She feared that a significant amount of mitigation fees could be lost Time Extension&Mitigation if the City does not condition any extension on the imposition of mitigation Fees fees at current(rather than 1993) levels for all of the units to be built. She asked that the City also require that the developer implement the plan currently on the table and allow no major modifications. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE RULES AND ADVANCE TO THE PLANNING &DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT ON THIS SUBJECT. CARRIED. Planning& Development Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Committee recommending concurrence in the staff recommendation to approve the Development Services: "The alterations to the Development Agreement for the residential development Bluffs"Development,Time project known as"The Bluffs." The alterations shall reflect the changes as Extension&Mitigation Fees submitted by the applicant,Legacy Partners; however, the Committee recommended a one-year extension to the approved site plan instead of a two- year extension as requested by the applicant. The applicant has offered to pay the current Park,Traffic and Fire mitigation fees for the additional 15 units, and the Committee recommended modifying the Development Agreement to reflect these additional units. The Committee further recommended that the full Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into an amended Development Agreement with the applicant, Legacy Partners. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler stated that the correct mitigation fees referred to by Mrs. Browne are as follows: Parks Mitigation Fee, 1999 - $354.51/unit, 1993 - $180.00/unit; Fire Mitigation Fee, 1999 - $388/unit, 1993 -$388/unit; and Traffic Mitigation Fee, 1999 - $75/trip, 1993 -none assessed. Mrs.Keolker-Wheeler added that in exchange for the additional 15 housing units to be built on the northwest section of the property, the developer will voluntarily update the mitigation fees for the additional units to 1999 levels as well as dedicate a native growth protection easement in a sensitive area. *MOTION CARRIED. Citizen Comment: Mandl— Marleen Mandl, 1408 N. 26th St.,Renton, 98056, calculated that the park Kennydale Open Space mitigation fees to be collected from three pending developments in the Request Kennydale area(namely, Labrador Ventures,Tamaron Pointe and The Bluffs) will total $121,000. She felt that since these projects will take away a great deal of green space from this community, the City should use the park fees collected to preserve some open space for nearby, affected residents. Councilman Clawson explained that the City uses much of its park mitigation fees for active recreation facilities such as sportsfields,which are heavily used by many residents throughout the City regardless of their location. Ms. Mandl clarified that she was not asking for a full-blown park but rather 31 January 25, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 31 something on a smaller scale such as a trail that residents could use to hike to and from Gene Coulon Park. Responding to Council inquiry, City Attorney Lawrence J. Warren said that the '�. Endangered Species Act will likely prohibit the establishment of a public trail near Kennydale Creek,particularly given the steepness of the ravine. MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL EXTEND THE TIME LIMIT FOR AUDIENCE COMMENT BEYOND 30 MINUTES. CARRIED. Citizen Comment: Kirkman— Pauline H. Kirkman, 1002 N. 35th St., Renton, 98056, supported the time "The Bluffs"Development, period extension requested for The Bluffs development, explaining that her Time Extension family owns a portion of this property. Ms. Kirkman added that she and the other property owners have held this area as a greenbelt for a long time, but they cannot afford to do so forevermore. Citizen Comment: Orme— Ray Orme, 229 SW 41st St.,Renton, 98055, opposed the proposal to increase Gambling Tax Rates the City's tax on card room revenues from 10% to 20%. Explaining that his business, American Hospitality Communications, supplies communication systems for many casinos,he pointed out that the City derives other, non-casino revenues that are nevertheless tied to gambling uses. Citizen Comment: Steiner— Fred Steiner, 1111 S. 3rd St., Renton, 98055, owner of Diamond Lil's and Gambling Tax Rates Freddie's, said that a 20%tax on card room gross proceeds would put him out of business as any downturn in the economy would affect his revenues. Adding that he employs about 400 workers, he warned that he would first be forced to terminate their health insurance coverage,which he currently provides for. Mr. Steiner further claimed that crime prevention needs do not justify an increase in �... this tax since he provides adequate security and surveillance to ensure that nothing illegal occurs at his establishments. Mayor Tanner replied that he would not have proposed this change if other jurisdictions were not also considering it, or if he believed that the industry could not sustain it. Citizen Comment: Browne— Kim Browne, 1003 N. 28th Pl.,Renton, 98056,reiterated her request that the Kennydale Open Space City use park mitigation fees to purchase a portion of the Labrador Ventures Request property for preservation as open space. Ms. Browne resubmitted a petition she originally presented in December of last year, signed by 52 Kennydale residents, which requested(in part) that"The northern slopes of Kennydale Creek ravine (be)protected by establishing a native growth protection easement within the area enclosed by lots 8-12."

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Local Improvement District: accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing No. 336,Burlington Northern to consider the final assessment roll for Local Improvement District(LID)No. RR Crossing at 3700 Lake 336; improvements to a Burlington Northern railroad crossing serving a public """ Wash. Blvd N lake park at 3700 Lake Washington Blvd.; total final assessment cost— $76,880.64. Rod Schindler, Engineering Specialist, explained that residents who had been qo February 1, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 40 crossing a Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF)Railroad right-of-way by permit to access their homes petitioned the City to create a public crossing to relieve them of an insurance mandate by BNSF. Of the 23 parcels affected by this action, 14 property owners(61%) signed the petition to form an LID. The City Council approved the establishment of the LID in 1993, using the buildable lot assessment method with the City participating as one buildable lot. This was due to the fact that City-owned vehicles use the crossing to access Kennydale Beach Park and nearby sanitary sewer facilities for maintenance purposes. After the City approved the LID, the crossing was reconstructed to meet current Code standards in order to minimize City liability. The paved distance on the west side of the railroad tracks was extended from four feet to 20 feet, ensuring a sight distance safe zone for vehicles approaching from the west as well as those approaching from the east. It also allows the postal service to park delivery vehicles safely off the tracks. Following the contractor's acceptance of the final construction payment,Burlington Northern installed the new crossing in August of 1998. Mr. Schindler stated that all construction is now complete and the facility is available for use. Staff recommends that Council accept the final cost of the LID at$76,880.64,with each of the 24 participants responsible for$3,203.36 of the cost. Staff additionally recommends a maximum payment term length of five years with an interest rate of 6.5%. Responding to Councilman Edwards, Mr. Schindler confirmed that this project was considered and approved by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission(WUTC). Councilman Corman asked if the City would be liable for an accident occurring at this location,now that the sight distance has been improved. Assistant City Attorney David Dean replied that this would depend on what specifically caused any particular accident; however,when a facility is built to transportation standards and well-maintained, one or more drivers is typically found to be at fault. Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in ,..�► Annexation: East Renton accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Plateau, SE 128th St to consider the proposed zoning for the East Renton Plateau annexation; 193 acres located north and south of SE 128th Street. Owen Dennison, Senior Planner, explained that this evening's hearing is the second of two required public hearing on the zoning for the East Renton Plateau annexation. The Planning Commission held the first public hearing on the zoning on November 18, 1998. Describing the annexation area, he said existing uses include medium and low density single family and some small- scale commercial uses. Much property remains vacant at this time, and lot sizes range from .22 acre to over 30 acres. Existing zoning under King County includes two commercial zones and three residential zones which range from four to 18 units per gross acre (expressed in terms of base density; maximum density is 50%higher). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the area variously as Residential Rural, Residential Single Family, Residential Options and Convenience Commercial. Corresponding zoning categories are as follows: for Residential Rural— RC, R-1 and R-5; for Residential Single Family—R-5,R-8 and RMH; for Residential Options—R-10 and RMH; and for Convenience Commercial— Convenience Commercial. Staff recommends the area be zoned with the following four categories: R-5, R-8,R-10, and CC. At the first public hearing,requests were made to: expand commercial uses along the major arterial (SE 128`h St.), lower densities in two areas, and refine the compatibility of single family residential uses with the high volume of traffic experienced by SE 128'h Street. �7 February 22, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 57 The Planning Commission concurred with the staff recommendations, but also suggested that the City initiate a work item to evaluate design issues for residential uses along major arterials. Specific issues might include fencing, Orr landscaping, and sidewalks. Audience comment was invited. Ray Griffin, 14306- 144th Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, said although he was pleased that Renton intends to keep development densities low on the plateau, he nevertheless was concerned about the impacts which any development in this area will have on Maplewood Creek. Explaining that surface water from this entire area drains into the creek,he was especially concerned about fish habitat and the severe erosion problems which already plague the creek and many of its adjoining properties. Reporting that King County has estimated the total cost to fix eight specific problems at more than$1 million,he said further development will have a devastating effect since most of the creek's current problems are attributable to excessive stormwater discharge resulting from upstream development. Responding to Councilman Corman,Mr. Griffin said King County is not ready to pursue raising the creek's stream-bed by four to five feet since such a project would cost nearly$1 million and could negatively impact the fish habitat. The County does, however,recommend that a comprehensive geotechnical study be conducted to evaluate the landslide problem and determine possible solutions. Mayor Tanner noted that although Renton currently uses the 1990 version of the King County Surface Water Manual,he will recommend that the City adopt the most recent version, which conforms more closely with Department of Ecology standards. w. In response to Council inquiries, Gregg Zimmerman,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator, confirmed that Renton assesses surface water mitigation fees on new development to be used for capital improvement projects. He added that, as the Mayor stated, the more recent version of the King County Surface Water Manual contains more stringent requirements such as less discharge for storm events and larger detention ponds. Referring to a claim by King County that Renton's Maplewood Creek fish channel project has created a fish passage barrier, Mr. Zimmerman emphasized that the sole purpose of this project was to reintroduce salmon passage into the stream. Renton had consulted with both King County and the Department of Fisheries on this project, and the latter agency has praised the project's final construction. There being no further audience comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL ADVANCE TO THE PLANNING&DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT ON THIS SUBJECT. CARRIED. Planning& Development Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Committee regarding zoning for the East Renton Plateau annexation. The City Council had Annexation: East Renton referred this matter to the Committee to consider the proposal and relevant Plateau, SE 128th St issues prior to the second public hearing. The Committee has reviewed the zoning designations proposed for the area to be annexed. These designations include R-5,R-8, R-10 and Convenience Commercial. The Committee also 5-91 February 22, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 58 considered the history of the Council's land use decisions in the area, and the issues that have been raised to date through public comment and by the Planning Commission at the first public hearing. The Committee recommended approval of the Administration's zoning recommendation, consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Annexation: Davis, 132nd Ave This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in SE(Union Ave NE) accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider the 60%Annexation Petition and proposed R-8 zoning for the Davis Annexation area; 3.8 acres located east of 132nd Ave. SE(Union Ave. NE). Mr.Dennison reported that the City has received a 60%Notice of Intent to Annex petition for the proposed annexation, which is comprised of a single vacant parcel of land. The property,which is surrounded by single family residential uses, is designated as Residential Single Family under Renton's Comprehensive Plan. Existing King County zoning is R-4, and the proposed Renton zoning is R-8. Referring to the fiscal analysis performed for the proposal,Mr. Dennison said that the current assessed value of the property is $90,000. If 24 new single family homes were developed on it, its assessed value could rise to $6,000,000. Staff has concluded that no impediments exist to providing this property with City services; however, sanitary sewer service to the site would require a lift station and might also require a franchise from King County, since the right-of- way of 132nd Avenue SE is not included in the property to be annexed. The proposal is generally consistent with Renton's Comprehensive Plan policies and the objectives of the Boundary Review Board. Mr. Dennison concluded that staff recommends Council accept the 60%Notice of Intent to annex this property, and authorize the Administration to submit a Notice of Intention package to the Boundary Review Board. Audience comment was invited. A letter was entered into the record from Mr. and Mrs. George Mehl, 9547 - 132nd Ave. SE,Renton, 98056, stating that they had no objection to the proposed annexation so long as they could be assured that their well would not be contaminated as a result of any development on the annexed property.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Ave.N.,Renton, 98055, spoke against allowing Citizen Comment: Richter— gambling uses near residential areas. Saying these should be kept a mile away Zoning of Gambling Uses from churches, schools and parks as well, she agreed with the City's past action to restrict new gambling uses to Renton's industrial/warehouse area located south of I-405 and west of SR-167. Citizen Comment: Franklin— Bev Franklin, 537 Williams Ave.N.,Renton, 98055, agreed that gambling uses Zoning of Gambling Uses; should not be located near homes, schools or churches but instead be confined Bryn Mawr Sewer Project to the Valley area. On another subject, Ms. Franklin reported ongoing problems with King County's Bryn Mawr sewer project at N. 6th St. and Burnett Ave.North, which has subjected nearby residents to excessive noise, traffic and construction work. In particular, work performed on the night of January 23rd was not only done without a valid variance,but was the cause of irreparable damage to one of her antique figurines.

Revenues Citizen Comment: Schumsky Don Schumsky,2019 Jones Ave.NE.,Renton, 98056, the owner of —Zoning of Gambling Uses Schumsky's All-City Diner at 423 Airport Way, complained that although he has millions of dollars invested in his business and is not interested in relocating it,the City outlawed new gambling establishments anywhere outside of the Valley area. Mr. Schumsky claimed that gambling uses are very different from adult entertainment uses, and do not warrant being restricted via zoning regulations. He felt it was unfair that even though two gambling establishments already operate in the vicinity of downtown Renton,he is prohibited from operating the same type of business in his current location.

MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Planning&Development Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Committee relating to land use gambling. After a presentation by staff, and public Planning: Gambling Land Use comment, the Committee recommended that Council concur with the Restrictions Administration and retain the City's existing Code provisions which restrict the location of new card rooms to the area south of 1-405 and west of SR-167. The Committee further recommended that if the State pre-empts local zoning authority regarding the locations of card rooms (or mini-casinos), the Council should revisit this issue for possible prohibition of"gambling activities"as provided for in RCW 9.46.295. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler referred to a letter sent to the City by Ed tiw Fleisher, Deputy Directory of Policy and Government Affairs for the Washington State Gambling Commission. Mr.Fleisher claimed that Renton's authority to allow gambling uses in one area but not in others is not clear. In response to the City's request that the Commission not approve pending applications by Diamond Lil's and Schumsky's All City Diner to offer house- banked games,Mr. Fleisher said that the Commission is prohibited from". . . deny(ing)a license to an otherwise qualified applicant in an effort to limit the number of licenses to be issued." Councilman Edwards suggested that the City consider the possibility of an "overlay"district for gambling,which would allow these uses in a limited fashion in areas other than the Valley. For example,he did not consider the frontage along Rainier Avenue to be part of Renton's historic downtown area which it is trying to preserve and revitalize. Adding that gambling activities are already easily accessible via the Internet,he said these types of uses are not detrimental to the surrounding community in the same manner as adult entertainment uses,but rather are fairly wholesome. He favored retaining this issue in committee to pursue development of an overlay district. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler replied that the subject at hand involves significant land use issues separate from the question of whether gambling is good or bad. She expected, for example,that one criteria of whether a gambling use would be allowed would be the proposed location's proximity to single family homes, since high volume parking can quickly become a concern. `"o' Councilman Corman commented that although mini-casinos are not mentioned in Renton's adopted Downtown Plan, one nevertheless exists there because the State unilaterally legalized certain gambling activities that previously had not February 22, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 62 been allowed. He felt it would be misleading to retain this issue in committee at the current time, since outside parties could mistakenly interpret such an a action to mean that the City was interested in locating these uses in the downtown,when this may not be the case. woo At Mayor Tanner's request,correspondence from the City Attorney was entered into the record which summarized the City's position on this issue. The memo noted that because the presence of several mini-casinos in downtown Renton would be inconsistent with the City's efforts to revitalize this area, and rather than banning mini-casinos altogether, Renton has zoned these into an appropriate area. Contrary to implications by the Gambling Commission,the City of Renton believes that zoning authority is exclusively a local government issue, especially as zoning authority may be pre-empted by the State only by a clear pronouncement in legislation. The memo concluded that Renton will zealously defend against any incursion into its zoning authority. Council President Parker emphasized that as Renton's control over local zoning issues is being questioned by the Gambling Commission,the City must be strong in defending its authority to the State. He additionally cautioned that, with four bills pending in the legislature related to gambling, any one or more could be approved,which would force Renton and other cities to contend once again with a change in gambling regulations. *MOTION CARRIED TO CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT AS PRESENTED. Councilman Corman suggested that the City could consider possible zoning changes as part of its annual update of the Comprehensive Plan, incorporating input from the business and residential communities as well as from the Planning Commission in the process. Planning: R-10 and R-14 Zone Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Changes regarding amendments to the R-10 and R-14 zones. The proposed amendments help implement the Comprehensive Plan,promote small lot detached housing, provide consistent terminology, and remove some Code conflicts. The amendments primarily apply to the R-10 and R-14 zones. The Committee met several times in January and February to review the proposed amendments, public hearing testimony, and survey results from the residential demonstration projects. The Committee concurred with the staff-recommended Code amendments described in the December 22, 1998 issue paper. Where differences exist between the staff recommendations and Planning Commission recommendations related to the R-10 zone development standard amendments, the Committee provides the following direction: • Concur with the staff recommendation for a minimum 20-foot townhouse lot width; • Concur with the Planning Commission recommendation for a minimum 55- foot lot depth; • Concur with the Planning Commission recommendation for changes to the minimum side yard requirements for primary structures; and • Concur with the Planning Commission recommendation for minimum rear yard requirements of 15 feet with reduced setbacks for attached alley access garages. The Committee requested that an ordinance be prepared, and that it be scheduled for first and second reading by the City Council.

Chief Anderson then presented a special award to Staff Services Manager Penny Bartley,who was instrumental in securing a$303,000 grant from the Department of Justice for the department's new mobile, computer system,which cost$400,000. Executive: 1998 Financial Mayor Tanner gave a report on Renton's 1998 year-end financial status, saying Summary that the year ended very well with revenues in every area above projections. Expenditures were all below budget with the one exception of retirement payouts. On the revenue side,the mayor noted that 1998 was the first year in which the City's property tax collections matched accrual records. It was particularly notable that sales tax revenue last year surpassed property tax revenue. Sales tax collections were$1.3 million above 1997, increasing in every category save manufacturing. Continuing, the mayor said building permits reached almost$1.6 million last year and included 267 single family homes and 88 multi-family units. Utility taxes remained stable while gambling taxes rose to $2 million, due primarily to the much larger revenue generated by cardrooms. The mayor briefly noted investment interest revenue, average interest rates, and portfolio compositions for both the general governmental and the proprietary funds. March 1, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 70 Turning to expenditures,Mayor Tanner said the City Attorney's account exceeded its 1998 budget due to the need for increased legal services. Based on new revenues,expenditures and identified carryforwards,the City has a $545,144 fund balance. The mayor then highlighted each of the enterprise funds,which belong to the utility(water, solid waste, and sewer), golf course, equipment rental, and airport divisions. Noting that the capital funds are the most difficult to budget due to unanticipated issues in completing projects, he said revenues are made up of fund balances, the real estate excise tax,rate revenue, grants and business license fees. Commenting on last year's active real estate market,the mayor pointed out that 990 homes sold in Renton last year, an increase of more than 20%over 1997. A number of significant commercial sites were also sold, generating one-time revenue. Capital expenditures for 1998 were made for the Cedar River Park, a police records system and the demolition of the Holms building. Of additional interest is that the City's self-administered insurance fund ended 1998 with a balance of$519,000. Concluding,Mayor Tanner said in accordance with the City's policy, one-time revenues from growth will be used for one-time expenditures. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1999 and beyond. Items noted included: • The Army Corps of Engineers expects construction on Phase 2 of the Cedar River Flood Control project to begin by April 1st. • The Fire Department is helping publicize a nationwide recall of Central "Omega" fire sprinkler heads, specifically by trying to get this critical information to all multi-family complexes in Renton. • On February 23rd, the Police Department handled a protest event at the Seattle Fur Exchange, using great restraint while not allowing any crimes to be committed. AUDIENCE COMMENT Pat Darst, 2601 Edmonds Ave.NE,Renton, 98056,reported on the status of the Citizen Comment: Darst— Veterans' Memorial to be constructed at 3rd and Main, saying that the architect Veterans' Memorial firm of Calvin Jordan&Associates has offered to donate in-kind services worth almost$15,000 to this project as a charitable contribution. A stoneworker has been chosen and the organizers are now soliciting designs and illustration ideas for the memorial monument. Commenting on various fundraisers planned for the project, including a St. Patrick's Day dinner and dance on Friday,March 12t ,Mr.Darst concluded by submitting a current financial statement showing the group's March 1St, 1999 balance to be over $5,000. Citizen Comment: Evans— Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 1 lth Pl.,Renton, 98056, expressed disappointment that Highlands Neighborhood although the gymnasium at the Highlands Neighborhood Center was inadequate Center Reconstruction before this building was damaged by an arson fire last summer,the City proposes to rebuild it as it was while constructing a new section for larger-sized game,meeting and craft rooms. He wondered whether it would be possible to house the various program rooms in the old gym and construct a new,properly sized gym alongside. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington responded that the concept being designed was approved by Council late last year. He explained that Renton's March 1, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Pair 71 insurance company will reimburse the City only so much to rebuild this facility, and any costs incurred beyond that amount would have to be borne by the City. Council had authorized an additional expense of$200,000,but the option described by Mr. Evans could cost as much as$200,000 to $300,000 more than the amount already approved Councilman Corman recalled that in discussing this matter last year, Council had focused on expediency and how to get this facility rebuilt as quickly as possible. He agreed that the suggestion brought forth by Mr. Evans should be looked into. Mayor Tanner said the Administration will discuss this issue with Community Services staff, taking care to consider all alternatives.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Harold Hawken,Troop Leader for Boy Scout Troop 464, explained that as a Executive: Boy Scout Troop service project and a fundraiser,Troop 464 raises over 100 American flags 464 Recognition along several main streets in downtown Renton on seven major holidays. All of the flags were donated by local politicians and service groups, and anyone wishing to sponsor a flag for one year may do so with a $30 contribution. "1'hc flags fly on South 2"d and 3rd Streets, Bronson Way and Mill Avenue South. To express thanks for the way in which this project has contributed to Renton's community spirit,Mayor Tanner presented certificates of appreciation to members of Troop 464, as follows: Mike Harris, Brett Bishop, Kevin Vreeken, Brandon Wilson, Andrew Harris,Robert Lewis, Jacob Hawken,Jacob Zornes, Paul Vreeken,and John Rains. Scouts and Varsity/Explorer Scouts Jessie Zornes, Steven Lee,Neil Robison, Bret Tingey,Tyler Opfar, CJ Swenson, Reggie Opfar, Lance Tingey,Jeff Rains,Dan Eastman,Jeff Jones, James Opfar, Brett Pierce and Brian Howarth could not be present to accept their certificates. Mayor Tanner noted he has received many positive comments from citizens who truly appreciate the patriotic look and feel of the downtown when the flags are flying. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: Residential accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Demonstration District to consider the proposed Residential Demonstration District, and proposed amendments to the Commercial Arterial (CA), Center Suburban(CS),and Center Neighborhood(CN)zones. Mike Kattermann,Director of Neighborhoods& Strategic Planning, explained that part of the proposal is to create an overlay district in the Center Suburban March 8, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 79 (CS) and Center Neighborhood(CN)zones that would establish special development standards for review of multi-family projects in these zones. Another proposal would restrict multi-fapiily uses in the Commercial Arterial (CA)zone to development in a mixed use structure. The purposes of the changes are to preserve prime commercial properties and achieve quality residential developments. Explaining the proposed overlay district, Mr. Kattermann said this would function similar to the Automall overlay district. The overlay would have a District"A",defined as within 150 feet of NE 4`h St. or Sunset Blvd., and a District`B",encompassing the remainder of the CS and CN zones. No stand- alone residential uses would be allowed in District"A", which would require first floor, streetfront commercial. District`B"would permit detached, semi- attached and townhouse uses. Both districts would allow changes to existing development standards, in accordance with a formal modification process. Parking would be allowed underneath a structure or in the rear, with surface parking reserved for guests only. Because research has indicated that higher density is needed to locate parking under buildings, staff has proposed allowing a density bonus in District`B"up to 36 dwelling units per acre. Turning to the CA zone, Mr. Kattermann said staff proposes that residential uses be restricted to mixed-use structures only in this zone. In conclusion, staff recommends adoption of the Demonstration Overlay District design standards, and that the City continue to develop zone standards and design guidelines. Responding to Councilman Corman, Mr. Kattermann said concerns relating to the topography of a specific property could be addressed through the modification process. Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 81 for Planning&Development Committee report.) Councilman Schlitzer emphasized the need for clear definitions relating to design criteria so the regulations are easily understood and consistently applied. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler replied that the question of how to ensure that Renton has well-designed, quality development will remain in Planning& Development Committee. Planning: Moratorium on This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Residential Uses in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Commercial Areas to consider extending the moratorium on residential uses in the Center Suburban(CS), Center Neighborhood(CN) and Commercial Arterial (CA) zones. Mike Kattermann, Director of Neighborhoods& Strategic Planning, explained that the moratorium was enacted so Council could analyze relevant issues and explore options relating to residential development in these commercial zones. The proposed demonstration standards described earlier this evening resulted; however, the required legislation has yet to be brought to Council for its adoption. In the meantime, the Planning&Development Committee recommends extending the moratorium until the demonstration standards are officially in place. Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Dennis Conte,Housing Assistance Specialist,reported that First Savings Bank Human Services: First Savings of Renton has announced its intention to award the City a grant to be used for Bank Grant to Housing Repair Renton's Human Services Housing Repair Assistance Program. Saying that the Program bank made an earlier grant of$25,000 to this program in 1997, Mr. Conte said many low-income Renton residents received both minor and emergency home repairs as a result of the previous grant. Services provided include exterior painting and replacement of water heaters and furnaces.

Mayor Tanner then presented a plaque of appreciation to Mr. Blencoe on behalf of the City, saying that the bank's generous donations to this program are an outstanding example of corporate citizenship. APPEAL Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Planning&Development regarding the Pierre Grady Way rezone(SA-98-126). The Committee Committee convened on March 11, 1999 to consider the appeal from the Hearing Appeal: Pierre Grady Way Examiner's report dated November 19, 1998. The subject property is located q March 15, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 89 Rezone, SA-98-126 on the north side of SW Grady Way between Oakesdale Ave. SW and Powell Ave. SW. The applicant seeks a rezone from commercial office (CO) to medium industrial (IM). Additionally, thg Hearing Examiner rendered a decision, in the event the rezone was permitted, relating to the site plan. Rezone Recommendation: On the appeal of the Hearing Examiner's recommendation regarding the rezone, the committee found that the Hearing Examiner did not give appropriate consideration to land use policies of the Comprehensive Plan and/or alternative mechanisms to accomplish the land use policies of the City. The committee found that the Hearing Examiner did not consider how the proposed use of this parcel represents a "balance of uses"that would not only improve the City's economic and employment bases, but would increase the City's tax base and improve the efficiency in the use of this parcel. This is particularly so on this unusual site. The committee found that the subject site has unique problems. These problems are due to the shape and size of this parcel, and to the power lines that run down the middle of the site. The committee also found that the Hearing Examiner's report recommended denial of the rezone because, among other things, the proposed development could be abandoned at some point in time and, once rezoned, other less desirable uses for this location may be permitted. The committee found that there are mechanisms, such as a restrictive covenant or a development agreement, that will address this concern. Those alternatives were not explored by the Hearing Examiner. Site Plan Decision: On the appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision regarding the site plan, the committee found the Hearing Examiner committed a substantial error of law insofar as he imposed a condition on the site plan that is duplicative of the City's inherent power. The imposition of a condition stating that the City has absolute discretion to modify driveway access to the site would render superfluous the City's inherent power to regulate the location of driveways. That is a substantial error. Therefore, this condition should be removed. Requested Council Action Rezone: The Committee recommended that Council approve the requested rezone from CO to IM, subject to three conditions: Condition#1 —that the applicant sign a covenant restricting the use of this parcel to the development as proposed, including any future related expansion on the same site; Condition#2 —that the restrictive covenant meets with the approval of the City Attorney; and Condition#3 —that the applicant complies with all conditions imposed by the ERC. Site Plan: The committee recommended that Council amend the decision of the Hearing Examiner regarding the site plan and strike condition#2 relating to the City's authority to modify driveway access to and from the site, as this is an inherent power of the City and not a special condition applicable only to this site.

Items noted included: • The Public Works Department's Maintenance Services Division is working to incorporate such management techniques as outcome management, performance measuring, continuous improvement and performance budgeting. • Renton's Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman is chairing the King County Public Works Directors Group, and consequently will be significantly involved in determining which transportation projects in King County are selected to receive federal funding in 2001 and 2002. • The Seattle Symphony performed at a sold-out concert at Carco Theatre on March 10th as part of a fundraising event to benefit this year's summer teen musical. • The Environmental Protection Agency has awarded$200,000 to the City to be used for clean-up efforts at Port Quendall. Legal: Gambling Legislation City Attorney Lawrence J. Warren reported on a meeting conducted last week @ State Level with representatives from various cities and the Recreational Gaming Association concerning mini-casinos and cardrooms. Renton, among other cities, is concerned with a recent pronouncement by the State Gambling Commission relating to local zoning authority, and a preliminary concurring opinion issued by a member of the State Attorney General's Office last week. The meeting focused on issues of concern to local jurisdictions, which include: a that cities receive timely notice about any potential license and have the opportunity to give meaningful input into any licensing decision; that the Gambling Commission be clear on its ability to deny a license, with cause; that the State be prohibited from preempting local zoning authority for gambling uses; that local jurisdictions retain the right to declare moratoria on gambling uses to allow time to study zoning issues; that cities be allowed to amoritize any existing uses that are not grandfathered under new regulations; and that cities retain their authorization to ban gambling uses outright. Mr. Warren concluded that the Recreational Gaming Association is working to draft legislation on these issues in the hope that a proposal can be submitted to the Legislature this session, if at all possible.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington announced that Renton City Clerk Washington Municipal Clerks Marilyn J. Petersen was recently awarded the "President's Award of �••• Association"President's Distinction" from the Washington Municipal Clerks Association. The award Award of Distinction" was given for Ms. Petersen's outstanding work in the area of public relations, specifically relating to Renton's cable television franchise. The award noted that Ms. Petersen has been instrumental in improving the City's government access channel and its programming quality. Mr. Covington added that Ms. Petersen has always demonstrated high standards and an outstanding command of the technical and operational aspects of her position and its myriad functions. He particularly commended her for taking on responsibility for the City's cable television franchise three years ago. Since that time, Ms. Petersen directed the adoption of comprehensive telecommunications legislation which will protect public rights-of-way and other public and governmental interests. She also successfully renegotiated the cable television franchise agreement, including tightened performance requirements, and improved the administration of the cable complaint resolution referral service. Ms. Petersen thanked her staff and credited them for their outstanding efforts in helping with the day-to-day operations of the government access channel. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1999 and beyond. Items'noted included: The City's Victim Court Advocate now has two volunteers who send out resource information to victims of domestic violence. They also perform data entry to track incidents and statistics. The Telephone Pioneers of Renton hosted a"beeper"egg hunt for over 50 visually impaired children at the Renton Senior Activity Center on April P i I 6 April 5, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 112 * On April 2nd, a stop work order was placed on the City View Estates plat located at Stevens Ave.NW and NW 2nd Pl.,based on non-compliance with conditions related to final site restoration. * A model produced by The Boeing Company explaining how businesses can partner with cities to streamline the regulatory process has won an award from the National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards. It was also selected for implementation by jurisdictions nationwide. Public Works: Cedar River Gregg Zimmerman, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator; said in Overdredging response to recent local newspaper articles, Renton has known for a few months that a portion of the lower Cedar River was over-excavated by the Army Corps of Engineers last summer. The mistake came to light in November when Renton performed a series of survey cross-sections across the river to evaluate the job that had been done. The survey revealed that the over-dredging was up to a depth of four feet in some places. Mr. Zimmerman emphasized that, during the actual construction, the City of Renton was not involved in the management of the project or in its quality control. All of the responsibility for this belongs to the Army Corps of Engineers. Since the mistake was discovered, Renton has been meeting with the Corps of Engineers to determine what the potential impacts might be and what mitigation, if any,will be required. Continuing,Mr. Zimmerman explained that the over-dredging has affected the riverbed north of the Williams Ave.bridge and perhaps all the way up to I-405, as evidenced by a significant subsidence of the bottom in some areas. This, in turn, may have been detrimental to the 1998 sockeye run, since the salmon began to spawn soon after the dredging work was completed but before the upper reach of the river began to subside. Contrary to assertions made in the media, Mr. Zimmerman said Renton does not believe that the fish habitat has been damaged. In fact, he expected that next year's run will return to normal levels. He noted that last winter's weather conditions would have resulted in a significant attrition of fish redds (nests) at any rate, since flow levels exceeded 3,000 cubic feet per second on several occasions. Responding to Councilman Clawson, Mr. Zimmerman said although the City had originally proposed a 10-foot deep dredge, this would have created"lake- like"conditions which are not suitable for salmon spawning. The fish appear to prefer more shallow water, and the Cedar should continue to provide good spawning grounds. Mr. Zimmerman concluded that Renton will work hard to ensure,when future maintenance dredges are performed,that this kind of mistake does not occur again. AUDIENCE COMMENT Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 11th Pl., Renton, 98056, suggested that the City look at Citizen Comment: Evans— whether marked crosswalks could be installed in the vicinity of NE 10th and NE Need for Additional 12th Street at Sunset Blvd. NE. He added that the intersection of Kirkland Ave. Crosswalks on Sunset Blvd NE and Sunset Blvd., and the area between Kirkland Ave.NE and NE 10th Street, can also be dangerous for pedestrians.

Operation Mike Webby,Human Resources&Risk Management Administrator,explained that the City's new claims administrator,the Washington Cities Insurance Authority,has advised Renton to close its parks at dusk and not keep its beaches open past sunset during twilight hours. Mr. Webby explained that shadows fall onto the water in the evening,making it more difficult for lifeguards to properly patrol the areas. Councilman Edwards pointed out that the table showing times of sunset and twilight uses Standard Time,yet as of last weekend,our area is now on Daylight Saving Time. Thus the times for sunset and twilight will actually be one hour later than shown. Mr. Edwards added that the visibility distance in the lake water is not comparable to that of a pool at any time, dusk or not. Councilman Corman said in the past, it has been understood by parks patrons that if they choose to swim when no lifeguard is on duty, they do so at their own risk. Mr. Webby replied that Council will be asked to consider keeping the beach gates locked when no lifeguard is on duty, and further controlling the sites with additional police surveillance to deter off-hours swimmers.

MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION AS READ. CARRIED. SPECIAL PRESENTATION Victoria Runkle,Finance&Information Services Administrator, announced Finance: Financial Reporting that Renton has once again won an award for its Comprehensive Annual Awards(CAFR and GFOA) Financial Report as well as an award from the Governmental Finance Officers Association for the City's budget. Explaining that these awards signify that the City's financial documents are readable and understandable, she introduced the staff members who ensure the integrity of these documents, as follows: Paul Kusakabe,Fiscal Services Director; Rich Richmire, Fiscal Services Manager; Gina Jarvis, Accountant; Linda Honeycutt, Senior Finance Analyst; Debbie Scott,Finance Analyst; and Phil Ramon, Finance Analyst. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Zoning: Employment Area accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Valley Zoning Changes to consider proposed amendments to the Commercial Arterial (CA), Commercial Office (CO), Light Industrial (IL), Medium Industrial (IM),and Heavy Industrial (IH)zoning designations within the Employment Area Valley Comprehensive Plan designation, adding an expanded range of uses to these zones, and proposing city-wide housekeeping amendments which will change /21 April 12, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 121 processing requirements or conditions on uses. Rebecca Lind, Senior Planner, explained that the amendments will allow a wide array of commercial and office uses in the industrial and office designations in am the Valley area. Although most would be in the form of secondary uses (subject to conditions), some would be limited to either administrative conditional uses or Hearing Examiner conditional uses. If approved, the majority of Commercial Arterial uses and Commercial Office uses would be allowed without rezoning property or making existing industrial uses non- conforming. Continuing,Ms. Lind said that staff recommends that development standards for any new uses should retain those of the mapped zone. For example, a commercial or office use allowed in a heavy industrial area would conform to industrial coverage, setback, and height standards. This would provide consistent street appearance and site planning conditions for all affected areas. The Planning Commission supported the overall recommendation but was concerned about the area between SW 10h St., south of I-405. The Commission considered this a major entry into Renton, and suggested that any new uses allowed here should have a gateway stature. Ms. Lind added that the changes are proposed to add additional flexibility to the range of uses already permitted in the Valley. The goal is to ensure that development and redevelopment activity be determined by private market conditions rather than zoning code constraints. The changes should attract more retail, service and office uses to this area which will continue to diversify and strengthen the City's tax base. Ms. Lind concluded that the proposed housekeeping amendments will eliminate duplicate uses and procedures by changing processing requirements or conditions on uses in various zones city-wide. Responding to Councilman Parker, Mayor Tanner explained that Renton has been moving toward phasing much of the Valley area from industrial to commercial use over the last several years. Mr. Parker emphasized that the City should be market responsive. Given that heavy industrial uses are,by choice, likely to locate somewhere rather than Renton's Valley area,he wondered why the City should zone for this use. Councilman Corman agreed,noting that Renton already has a great deal of heavy industrial zoning for Boeing and PACCAR. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler noted that the issue is complicated by several factors, one being that a large parcel in the Valley is heavily contaminated, and another the presence of significant wetlands in this area. Mike Kattermann,Director of Neighborhoods& Strategic Planning, commented that the proposal before Council this evening retains industrial zoning for much of the Valley so that currently existing industrial uses are not made non-conforming. Audience comment was invited. Jon Cheetham, 21102 Snag Island Dr. E., Sumner, WA, 98390, said while he fully supported the proposed changes, he was concerned that the north/south .,� boundary not be drawn at SW 16th Street. Explaining that he owns a parcel at 208 SW 16`h which he has improved and leased to a nearby auto dealership, he said this use is compatible with what the City is trying to accomplish and therefore should not be ruled out as an allowed use. 122 April 12, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 122 There being no further audience comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Ms. Lind noted that this item is currently in the Planning&Development wo Committee where it will remain pending continued deliberations and a recommendation to the full Council. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1999 and beyond.

Planning& Development Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Committee regarding the request for removal of a restrictive covenant relating to the Clark, Development Services: Boyden&Kauzlarich rezone. The Committee recommended concurrence with Restrictive Covenants the staff recommendation to authorize the removal of a restrictive covenant that Removal, Root Short Plat(500 was required as a condition of the rezone of the subject property to B-1 Block of S.Tobin) (Business Use) in 1988. The covenant required site plan review for any development on the property. The site was subsequently rezoned from B-1 to R-8 (single family residential) in 1993, thereby eliminating the need for site plan review. The covenant unduly encumbers the subject property and therefore the Committee recommended allowing the applicants to proceed with removing the restrictive covenant from the land title. The Committee recommended that the City Council authorize the Administration to prepare documents for the removal of the restrictive covenant.

She supported full school impact fees for Issaquah as Impact Fees she did not want her children to experience additional ill effects of �... overcrowded schools. Ms. Donnelly wondered how Renton could refuse to impose the full fee requested by Issaquah. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL SUSPEND ITS RULES AND ALLOW FOR THE READING OF THE April 19, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 132 FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT ON THIS SUBJECT. CARRIED. Finance Committee Finance Committee Chair Edwards presented a report recommending that Finance: Issaquah School Council concur in the Administration's recommendation to impose school District Impact Fees impact fees on new single-family residential development in the Renton portion of the Issaquah School District, and more specifically, that: 1. The City adopt an ordinance to collect a school impact fee on behalf of the Issaquah School District of$2,797 for all new single-family dwelling units built within those portions of the District within Renton's municipal boundaries; 2. The City enter into an interlocal agreement with the Issaquah School District regarding collection of this fee; and 3. This school impact fee be reviewed in two years to consider whether to adjust it. (See page 133 for further discussion relating to the committee report.) Citizen Comment: Leavitt — Cindy Leavitt, 5303 NE 22"d Ct.,Renton, 98059, said while her son attends Issaquah School District Apollo Elementary, she believed that all children should be given due Impact Fees consideration no matter which city or school district they live in. She disagreed that the purchase price of the affected homes should have any bearing on the amount of the mitigation fee,because the schools are impacted by the number of children who attend them, not by the area's housing costs. She added that the City of Newcastle has consented to charge the full amount requested by the Issaquah School District. Citizen Comment: Fletcher — Connie Fletcher, 18712 SE May Valley Way, Issaquah, spoke as president of Issaquah School District the Issaquah School District Board, urging Renton to impose the full$6,100 Impact Fees impact fee on new homes within the school district's boundary. Emphasizing Now that this number was calculated according to the actual cost of land acquisition and construction for new schools, she noted that since King County already charges this fee, any unincorporated land annexed to Renton will thus be developed under a reduced rate. She asked that any projects currently in the pipeline be grandfathered and charged the higher amount. Ms. Fletcher claimed that, at full development, Renton's potential annexation area could send up to 1,700 new students to the Issaquah School District. Citizen Comment: Bernard — Mike Bernard, 565 NW Holly, Issaquah, also a board member of the Issaquah Issaquah School District School District, noted his concurrence with the remarks expressed by Ms. Impact Fees Fletcher. Citizen Comment: Dougherty Donnell Dougherty, 14818 SE 113`h St.,Renton, 98059, spoke as a concerned —Issaquah School District parent of a student attending Apollo Elementary. She questioned what the City Impact Fees of Renton would do if the potential impact was not on the Issaquah School District,but rather on Renton's. Citizen Comment: Irons — David Irons, 3414- 260`h Ct. SE, Issaquah, stated that mitigation fees are used Issaquah School District to positively impact school capacity in the areas where they are collected. Impact Fees Emphasizing the importance of equity in this matter, he noted that Renton imposes fire and park mitigation fees on new construction which it does not base on the cost of the homes being built. He urged the City to consider the future cost of providing quality education, and base its decision accordingly. Citizen Comment: Wilcott — Everett Wilcott, 11830 - 164`h Ave. SE,Renton, pointed out that Renton's now Issaquah School District School District's current levy costs homeowners $3.95 per thousand of Impact Fees assessed valuation, while Issaquah's cost$4.95. He explained this is because Issaquah has more students per assessed valuation than does Renton. He feared April 19, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 133 that if the full impact fee is not charged now, Issaquah will be forced to ask for an even higher charge later, depending on the number of new students and how many new schools will be required. For example, development in the Newcastle Highlands area has been grandfathered with a$1,100 fee while all other new homes in Newcastle will be charged$6,100.

MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER TO THE UTILITIES COMMITTEE. CARRIED. OLD BUSINESS Finance Committee Chair Edwards presented a report recommending that .... Finance Committee Council concur in the Administration's recommendation to impose school Finance: Issaquah School impact fees on new single-family residential development in the Renton portion District Impact Fees of the Issaquah School District, and more specifically, that: April 19, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 134 1. The City adopt an ordinance to collect a school impact fee on behalf of the Issaquah School District of$2,797 for all new single-family dwelling units built within those portions of the District within Renton's municipal boundaries; 2. The City enter into an interlocal agreement with the Issaquah School District regarding collection of this fee; and 3. This school impact fee be reviewed in two years to consider whether to adjust it. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY CORMAN,COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Councilman Corman emphasized that the committee exhaustively considered and debated this issue. Saying that he was swayed by the arguments of the Issaquah School District and interested citizens,he noted,however, that this will be by far the largest single fee imposed by Renton and roughly equal to all its other impact fees,taken together. Suggesting that the school district may have failed to adequately plan for new growth in previous years,he pointed out that the impact fee charged to Stonegate homeowners was much less than what is being proposed now. He concluded that the fee recommended by the Finance Committee is close to the figure originally proposed to Renton by the school district; the new$6,100 fee represents a substantial increase over the initial proposal. Councilman Edwards added that in deliberating this issue,the committee investigated the history of the Issaquah School District's growth and impact fees. Although a majority of the school district's growth has been in the area of the Sammamish Plateau, impact fees in that area were less than $2,000 until the past year. It would not be fair, then, to impose a much greater impact fee on OWN new construction in eastern Renton when the reason that many of the schools are reaching capacity or are already overcrowded is because of growth in a completely different area. Referring to citizen testimony earlier this evening, Councilman Clawson interpreted the residents to say that they would not mind paying a$6,100 impact fee for schools. Saying that housing prices are not affected so much by school mitigation fees as by speculation and greed,he felt that the market should be left free to decide whether or not people want to buy a house with a $6,100 school impact fee. *Saying he needed more time to consider this issue, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL POSTPONE ACTION ON THIS MATTER FOR ONE WEEK. CARRIED.

CARRIED. (See page 137 for resolution.) l 3� April 19, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 136 Parks: Limited Hydroplane Councile President Parker referred to a request received by the City from Al Races, Fee Reduction Request LaPointe, organizer of the limited hydroplane race event to be held at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park on April 24 and 25, 1999. Mr. Parker explained that Mr. LaPointe is concerned with the substantial increase in City fees over mod the amount he was charged last year for this same event. The largest fee appears to be related to the City's new requirement that a three-man fire engine company be on site at a cost of$2,120. An emergency medical vehicle is also required, which the Fire Department will supply for$1,320. Alternatively, the organizer could contract with a private ambulance company for this service. Saying that Mr. LaPointe's request for a 50%reduction in the fees is reasonable,Mr. Parker suggested that the City approve this for the charges associated with the Fire Department only. Under his proposal, the charges associated with having police officers on site would remain the same. Moved by Parker, seconded by Corman, Council approve the recommendation of the Administration to reduce,by 50%,Fire Department fees associated with City requirements for the limited hydroplane race event.* Noting that this matter had been referred to the Community Services Committee, Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler objected to how it was now being taken up outside of the normal process. She explained that the committee met on this subject not once but twice, and was concerned that the City not subsidize the cost of the emergency services that the event organizers are required to provide for their insurance company as well as for the safety of the participants and spectators. Councilmember Nelson added that when the committee met with Mr. LaPointe, it was suggested that he investigate various alternatives for supplying the necessary crowd control and emergency services himself rather than contracting with the City. Mrs. Keolker-Wheeler gave a detail of these suggestions,noting that the full cost of City contracted services for both days would be $4,654. Councilman Schlitzer emphasized that the permit for this event has already been issued, and the race will be held as planned. He therefore felt that Council action was not necessary this evening. Mr. Schlitzer added that even though this is a non-profit event, many such others are held in Renton every year and the City is not expected nor asked to subsidize their expenses. Mayor Tanner explained that the recommendation to reduce the fees was based on the fact that the City was not timely in notifying Mr. LaPointe of the increased costs for the event this year. He did not object if Council wanted to require full recovery of all costs. *With the concurrence of Mr. Corman as seconder, Mr. Parker withdrew his earlier motion on this subject. MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER,THE LIMITED HYDROPLANE RACE BE CHARGED THE FULL COST OF ANY CONTRACTED CITY SERVICE,WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ORGANIZER CAN REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT LATER IF THE EMERGENCY SERVICES OR CROWD CONTROL SERVICES ARE REDUCED.

APPEAL Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Planning_& Development regarding the appeal of the rezone of Renton Technical College(R-95-099). Committee The Committee convened to consider the college's appeal of the Appeal: Renton Technical recommendation of the Hearing Examiner dated January 26, 1999. College Rezone,R-95-099 The subject site is located at NE 4th St.between Monroe and Kirkland Avenues NE. The City had initiated a rezone of this irregularly-shaped 30.32-acre site from Public Use(P-1)to Light Industrial (IL)with a"P" suffix attached. The Hearing Examiner recommended that the City Council approve the rezone from P-1 to IL with the"P" suffix, subject to certain conditions. City staff and the college sought reconsideration. On February 25, 1999,that reconsideration was denied. The college appealed conclusion#6 and recommendation(or condition)#3. After a presentation,the committee found that the condition did not allow for sufficient certainty for the college and the neighborhood. However,the committee agreed with the Hearing Examiner's expressed intention to protect the surrounding residential uses in the event that the college leaves that location. The committee found that the condition imposed by the Hearing Examiner would not be consistent with the policy of the Council whereby the Council would look for means to provide certainty for the landowner and protect the adjacent residential uses. Staff recommended an amendment to the language proposed by the Hearing Examiner in his condition#3 that would accomplish both ends. Therefore, the committee recommended that Council amend the language of condition#3 of the Hearing Examiner's recommendation to read as follows: "IL uses normal and incidental to a state-licensed public vocational or technical college shall be allowed subject to their compliance with local, state or regional requirements pertaining to environmental protection, including but not limited jy3 April 26, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 143 to air, noise, and hazardous waste emissions. Other, non-vocational school/technical college related uses allowed in the IL zone, as determined by the zoning administrator, shall not be allowed without a conditional use permit or master site plan approval." aw Further, the committee recommended that the Council require that the limitations imposed by the new condition#3 be recorded with the county to ensure that subsequent land owners will be put on notice of the limitations on the use of this parcel as an industrial use. Finally, the committee recommended that Council rezone the subject property with the conditions imposed by the Hearing Examiner, except condition#3 would be amended as indicated herein. Further, the committee recommended that Council require that the terms of condition#3 be recorded. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.

The business also offers job shadow .r. opportunities for students interested in accounting. Robert McCorkle accepted the award on behalf of his company, noting that two of his children attend high-quality Renton schools. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Smith, Hoquiam accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Ave NE& SE 113th to 116th to consider the 60%Annexation Petition and proposed zoning for 12 acres located east of Hoquiam Ave.NE(142nd Ave. SE) and generally between SE 113th and 116th Streets; Smith Annexation. Owen Dennison, Senior Planner, explained that the proposed annexation area is adjacent to Hazen High School, east of Hoquiam Ave. NE. Signatures representing approximately 85%of the total assessed valuation were included on the 60%Petition. Existing land uses include three single family homes and a construction business. Existing zoning under King County is R-4. Renton's Comprehensive Plan designations for the area are both Residential Single Family and Residential Rural. The proposed zoning under the City of Renton is R-8 and R-5. Continuing,Mr. Dennison said if the properties are annexed, they would continue receiving water service from Water District 90. All other public services would be provided by Renton. Referring to the fiscal analysis performed by staff, he noted that under both existing development and estimated full development, the properties would pose an annual deficit to Renton($399 and$635 per year, respectively). The full development scenario assumes 55 single family homes and a population of 138. An additional one- time expense of$30,058 is estimated for the acquisition and development of parks to serve this area(anticipated mitigation fees have been taken into account). Mr. Dennison concluded that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with Renton's Comprehensive Plan policies and the objectives of the King County Boundary Review Board. Staff foresees no impediments to the extension of City services to this area. Councilman Parker inquired about the financial impacts and the projected annual deficit to the City upon annexation. Mayor Tanner replied that because this is almost always the case when large, developed residential areas are annexed, Renton is focusing on annexing smaller,relatively undeveloped properties. Council President Edwards added that while it certainly costs to provide services to residential areas, local governments are not motivated solely by financial considerations. For example, municipalities have a strong and valid interest in ensuring that development proceeds in a logical, coordinated manner. Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE 60%ANNEXATION PETITION FOR THE SMITH ANNEXATION iso} May 3, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 154 AND AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO PREPARE A NOTICE OF INTENT TO ANNEX PACKAGE FOR SUBMITTAL TO THE BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD. CARRIED. Annexation: Davis, Union Ave This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in NE and NE 26th St accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider the proposed R-8 (Residential Single Family; eight dwelling units per acre) zoning for the Davis annexation area; 3.8 acres located in the vicinity of 132nd Ave. SE (Union Ave.NE) and NE 26th Street. Owen Dennison, Senior Planner, explained that the proposed annexation area, made up of one parcel, is located in the vicinity of Sierra Heights near NE 26tH Street. Council accepted the 60%Petition to Annex on February 22, 1999, and authorized the submittal of a notice of intent to annex package to the Boundary Review Board. The BRB waived review and approved the proposed annexation on April Stn Mr. Dennison said the last remaining issue before Council is the zoning to be applied to the property. Because Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Residential Single Family, concurrent zoning would be either Manufactured Home Park or R-8. Staff recommends R-8 zoning, which would allow future development that would be more dense than both the surrounding area and the maximum density under existing King County zoning. Lower density zoning would require an amendment to Renton's Comprehensive Plan land use map. Mr. Dennison added that the property slopes towards May Creek to the northeast and northwest,with the slope exceeding 40% in several places. Councilman Clawson asked if the City will be able to serve the property with sanitary sewer. Mr. Dennison replied that Utilities staff have confirmed that an NEW existing sewer line can be extended to the parcel. Councilman Schlitzer expressed concern about the extremely sensitive nature of this area, saying that not only is it fairly steep,but the land contains a layer of clay close to its surface, heightening downhill erosion concerns. He was not comfortable with the proposed R-8 zoning, suggesting that R-5 or R-1 might be more appropriate. Noting that the area is above May Creek, which is already impacted by stormwater runoff, Council President Edwards asked about the City's requirements for storm sewers and impacts. He was especially concerned that new development not worsen the scouring of the creek. Mr.Dennison said any development would be required to send the runoff directly to May Creek without affecting the hillside. He added that, through SEPA, the City can impose higher mitigation standards than those put forth in the City Code. Mike Kattermann, Director of Neighborhoods& Strategic Planning, said because this property has a Comprehensive Plan designation of Residential Single Family and is not within one-half mile of the Urban Growth Boundary, it can only be zoned for mobile homes or as R-8. He suggested that the City can later look at whether the Comp Plan designation and the zoning should be changed. In the meantime, staff can provide more information to the Council on the specific soil conditions and slopes in this area and how potential development(and its expected runoff)would be approached. Councilman Corman commented that, even if the City closely reviewed a one development proposal to mitigate the stormwater runoff from the property, those who end up living there could exacerbate the problem in the future by May 3, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 155 building sheds, decks,patios, etc.,the effects of which cannot be factored in advance. Mayor Tanner pointed out that if the City changes the proposed zoning from .�. R-8 to a lesser density, the proponents may no longer be interested in annexing. Councilman Edwards noted that even if R-8 zoning were applied, the property could probably not be developed to that density since it is so affected—and therefore constrained—by sensitive areas. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler was interested in knowing what, specifically, could be developed on the property under R-8 zoning. Councilman Clawson cautioned that the City should consider whether this area conforms to the May Valley plan,particularly as it relates to future development impacts on May Creek. Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Moved by Parker, seconded by Clawson, Council table this matter.

Police: Nuisance Abatement Chief of Police Garry Anderson reported on a successful nuisance abatement Success conducted last week in the 200 block of Meadow Ave. North. A particular residence has long been the source of a disproportionate number of calls for service, exceeding 100 calls per year. Many of the calls involved serious and/or drug-related crimes.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Sonja Mejlaender, Special Events&Volunteer Program Coordinator,reported Sister City Visit to Nishiwaki on the recent trip which City of Renton delegates took to visit Renton's Sister City,Nishiwaki,Japan. Other Renton community members on the trip included Ray Sled, Water Maintenance Manager, and representatives from the Renton School District and the Renton Lions Club. Noting that Renton and Nishiwaki have been sister cities since 1969, Ms. Mejlaender said the goals of the relationship are to encourage citizen delegation exchanges,promote awareness of cultural diversity, increase opportunities for social and educational enrichment, and encourage trade and tourism. Ms. Mejlaender described various activities undertaken during the visit,as well as sites seen. She presented two gifts from the city of Nishiwaki to Mayor Tanner(a ceramic vase and a clock). She concluded that all eleven Renton delegates returned home with a greater understanding of life in Japan, and look forward to welcoming the Japanese delegation in 2001. Planning& Development Planning &Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler announced that Committee because a letter from the Washington State Department of Fisheries pertinent to Appeal: Labrador Ventures this matter was received this afternoon, the Planning& Development Preliminary Plat, 2700 Lk Committee report will not be available until May 17th. She emphasized that, in Wash Blvd N, SA-98-141 the meantime,the Council cannot accept any testimony whatsoever on this subject. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1999 and beyond. Items noted included: Shirley Anderson, Recreation Program Coordinator,was awarded a Certificate of Excellence from the Washington Recreation Parks (�3 May 10, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 163 Association for her outstanding dedication and service as the chair of the WRPA's Athletic &Fitness section. * Over 150 participants from the Renton Senior Activity Center performed in the 19th annual stage show at Carco Theatre on April 29-30. * Renton's updated Water System Plan was approved by the Department of Health, with the next update not due until April 2005. AUDIENCE COMMENT Larry Holcomb, 1755 Whitman Ave. NE,Renton, 98059,representing Citizen Comment: Holcomb— Bethlehem Lutheran Church, located at 1024 Monroe Ave.NE, stated that 24 Tree-Cutting Variance for cottonwood trees on the church's property have grown too tall and now Bethlehem Lutheran Church constitute a hazard. According to City Code,the church is allowed to cut down only six trees per year. Saying that other trees will remain on the property,Mr. Holcomb requested that the church be granted a variance to enable it to remove all the cottonwoods at one time, rather than over a four-year period. Councilman Parker added that he was told by Development Services Director Jana Hanson that the church cannot remove more than six trees per year without a development permit; however, the church has no plans to develop this property--it wants only to remove the hazardous trees. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER TO THE PLANNING&DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. CARRIED. Citizen Comment: Brown— Janice Brown, 521 S. 51st Ct., Renton, 98055, speaking as president of the Sikh Temple Development& Summit Park Townhome Homeowners Association, said that the Sikh Temple Use Violations on Talbot Hill is being occupied in absence of a valid occupation certificate. She was additionally concerned about the presence of a hydraulic flagpole on the temple's site, saying this has lights which are left on all night. Ms.Brown also said that although this project was required by the City to have mature landscaping, this has never been completed. She added that the temple is currently seeking a variance for an on-site commercial use (grocery store),but not all of the residents adjacent to the temple received notice of this. Gregg Zimmerman,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator,confirmed that the temple has neither a temporary nor a final certificate of occupancy, although it was allowed to have one religious ceremony on-site in the past. The City has sent numerous letters requesting attention to health and safety issues so a conditional occupancy permit can be issued, without any response. Mayor Tanner suggested that the City step up enforcement efforts in this situation. Citizen Comment: Bang— Sun Ae Bang, 1057 - 1st St.N.,Renton, 98055, stated that her business,Tony's Tony's Cleaners Relocation Cleaners, is being forced to move from its current location due to Renton's Assistance Aquifer Protection Act. Saying there is no suitable site in Renton for the business to relocate to and that the business now has no resale value, she explained that she and her husband will therefore require a business loan to re- establish this business elsewhere. She requested that the City increase the reimbursement to them for relocating their business by an additional $14,000 to cover the cost of re-establishing the business. (See page 165 for additional discussion on this issue.) Citizen Comment: Stewart— Polly Stewart, 12121 SE Petrovitsky Rd.,Renton, 98059, spoke in favor of Skateboard Park in Renton having a skateboard park in Renton. Explaining that as a certified in-line skating instructor her goals are safety and expanding recreational opportunities, she said that getting youth off the street and out of traffic is very important. May 10, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 164 She claimed that skateboarders are the first to guard their parks against gangs, alcohol, fighting and other unwanted elements since the activity of skateboarding is a source of pride for them. Ms. Stewart emphasized that skateboarding is not a fad,but rather a sport and a form of recreation, and urged Council to consider the needs of youth for a skateboard facility in Renton. Citizen Comment: Sager— David T. Sager, 1025 N. 28th Pl.,Renton, 98056,inquired when public Labrador Ventures Plat comment will be taken regarding the Labrador Ventures development proposal. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler replied this will be allowed after Council has acted on the appeal, which will likely be next week. Citizen Comment: Olson— Sabin Olson, 15807 SE 116th, Renton, 98059, supported the idea of a Skateboard Park in Renton skateboard park in Renton and believed that the ideal spot would be underneath I-405 between the Cedar River and the Narco site, since the freeway would serve as a much-desirable cover. Citizen Comment: Urback— Mary Urback, 12417 - 12th St. E.,Edgewood, 98372,encouraged Council to Valley Zoning Code approve the proposed Zoning Code changes to the Valley area as recommended Amendments by the Planning&Development Committee. (See page 167 for Council action.) CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing.

If the oversizing amount requested upon completion of construction is equal to or less than the estimated amount of$89,707.01 (including WSST),Council authorizes staff to reimburse Centex Homes for that amount; and 3. If the oversizing amount requested exceeds the original estimated amount, this matter will be referred back to Council for consideration of additional costs.

Sufficient funds are available to pay for the procurement and installation of the culvert(including staff time) under the adjusted 1999 Surface Water Utility CIP budget. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Public Works: Tony's Utilities Committee Vice Chair Schlitzer presented a majority committee report Cleaners Relocation regarding Tony's Cleaners business relocation incentive. The Committee met Assistance(Aquifer Protection twice to consider the request from Tony's Cleaners for an increase in business Regulations) relocation incentive and for the disbursement of payment prior to incurring relocation expenses. A majority of the Committee recommended the following: 1. Not authorize an increase in the total relocation incentive from the current maximum limit of$60,000; and 2. Not disburse the relocation incentive payment until the applicant submits verification of relocation expenses. As an alternate, the City can deposit the remaining balance of relocation incentive funds into an escrow account. The funds can only be disbursed to cover the costs incurred by the applicant as allowed by the administrative rule for the business relocation assistance program. The estimated remaining relocation funds balance is $36,000. The City's offer of the $60,000 payment is an incentive for business owners to expedite the relocation of their business out of Zone 1 of the Aquifer Protection Area by the end of 1999,thereby reducing the risk of contamination of the aquifer. The relocation incentive was not intended to compensate for all relocation costs or to buy out existing businesses. Staff will work with the applicant and the applicant's lending institution to assure that funds are available for use consistent with City Code and with the administrative rules regarding the business relocation assistance program. All agreements related to the disbursement of funds will be subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney. (The minority committee report follows.) Public Works: Tony's Utilities Committee Chair Clawson presented a minority committee report Cleaners Relocation regarding Tony's Cleaners business relocation incentive. The Committee met Assistance (Aquifer Protection twice to consider the request from Tony's Cleaners for an increase in business Regulations) relocation incentive and for the disbursement of payment prior to incurring relocation expenses. A minority of the committee recommended the following: 1. Authorize an increase in the total relocation incentive from the current maximum limit of$60,000 to$74,000; and 2. Not disburse the relocation incentive payment until the applicant submits verification of relocation expenses. As an alternate, the City can deposit the remaining balance of relocation incentive funds into an escrow account. The funds can only be disbursed to cover the costs incurred by the applicant as allowed by the business relocation assistance program administrative rules. With Council concurrence, the Chair further requested that the Administration prepare an ordinance for Council's consideration that would amend the City Code to raise the maximum relocation incentive to$74,000. (See page 167 for Council action.) Noting that Tony's Cleaners is the only business to have applied for reimbursement of business relocation expenses under this incentive program, Councilman Clawson felt it would be best to approve the additional $14,000 for May 10, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 166 the Bangs. Although he understood that the original offer of$60,000 was generous, he said the additional funds would give the Bangs a good chance of succeeding in a new location. He suggested that a larger business with more clout would fare better in this situation. Mayor Tanner clarified the Administration's position on this matter, saying that it proposed approving the additional funds as a way of bringing closure to a matter that has been pending for five years. He emphasized that he was not speaking in favor of either the minority or the majority committee report. Councilman Schlitzer reiterated that five years have transpired since Council adopted the incentive program,which was specifically designed to encourage businesses to relocate sooner rather than later. He noted that other businesses affected by the aquifer protection regulations have already made changes to comply with the law, whether by modifying their business practices or discontinuing the use of certain substances. Mr. Schlitzer said that just because Tony's Cleaners chose not to relocate until the deadline for doing so was upon them is not sufficient reason for the City to change the program at this time. He encouraged Council to approve the majority committee report. Councilman Parker supported the minority committee report, emphasizing that Tony's is the only business seeking reimbursement under this program. He added that the business has operated in its current location for 17 years but is now being forced to move. Councilman Edwards recalled that the regulations allow reimbursement of relocation expenses only if the business is relocating in Renton. Planning/ Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman explained that the ordinance allows for"administrative rule-making"relating to payment of relocation expenses. Earlier this year, the Bangs sought—and were granted— an administrative rule allowing the payment of reimbursement for relocation outside of the City. Mr. Edwards was concerned by this decision, noting this issue had been a topic of much discussion at the time the program was established. He felt that Council's intent had been very clear regarding this, and suggested that Council would not have approved the ordinance without this provision. He said it might be possible that other affected businesses did not apply for reimbursement of relocation expenses due to this requirement, adding that it did not seem appropriate to give money to a business to move out of Renton. Mr. Edwards concluded that any further expenditures should only be made if Tony's relocates within Renton. Councilmember Nelson commented that another dry cleaning business affected by the regulations has simply chosen to contract out its dry cleaning to another location,but retain the rest of its operations at its current site. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler agreed that the administrative rule allowing payment for relocation out of the City reversed not only the intent of the regulation,but its actual language as well. She felt that such an action was outside the purview of the administrative rule-making process. Mr. Schlitzer noted that the Bangs have already been told that they will still qualify for the program although they are not relocating within Renton. He believed that the majority committee report follows the original intent of the ordinance. Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes confirmed that because administrative procedures cannot amend the terms of an ordinance enacted by Council, any funds paid to the Bangs to relocate their business out of the City will require May 10, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 167 Council action to specifically permit reimbursement for moving elsewhere.

Public Works: Oakesdale Utilities Committee Chair Clawson presented a report recommending 1 Business Park Wetland concurrence with the staff recommendation to authorize the Mayor and City Buffering Averaging(Use of Clerk to execute the Oakesdale Business Park wetland buffer averaging City Property) easement with the developer, Zelman Renton LLC. The wetland buffer averaging easement will allow the developer to use adjacent City-owned property purchased by the Surface Water Utility to mitigate for 21,370 square feet of wetland buffer that will be used as parking for the Oakesdale Business Park. In exchange, Zelman Renton LLC has granted the City a 225-foot ingress/egress easement and a 100-foot drainage easement along the southwest portion of the site. The Oakesdale Business Park is located J north of SW 43rd Street and west of Oakesdale Avenue SW. l MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER,COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Planning& Development Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Committee regarding the zoning for the Davis Annexation. The Committee has reviewed Annexation: Davis,Union Ave the plans of the applicant for the 3.8-acre annexation, and discussed potential NE(132nd Ave SE),A-98-003 impacts with staff. Based on this information and the review that will necessarily occur during the project application, the Committee is satisfied that the issues raised during the public hearing can be addressed for this specific project under the proposed R-8 zoning. The Committee therefore recommended that Council adopt the ordinances for annexation and R-8 zoning as recommended by the Administration at the May 3, 1999 Council meeting. The Committee further recommended that the land use and zoning designations for the unincorporated area between Renton and Newcastle be reviewed during the next annual Comprehensive Plan amendment cycle. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. (See page 169 for ordinances.) Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler added that the net density for development in the annexation area will be approximately six dwelling units per acre,which is comparable to the R-5 zoning which Council had been considering imposing on the property. Planning: Employment Area Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Valley Zoning Code recommending that the Employment Area Valley Zoning Code amendments Amendments and additional Zoning Code housekeeping amendments be approved as follows: 1. The amendments shown in the document dated April 8, 1999 be adopted, with the changes recommended by the Planning Commission as modified by the Planning&Development Committee. These modifications regulate some uses allowed in the portion of the Medium Industrial (IM)zone falling between SW 16th Street and 1-405. The Committee's intent is to enhance the image of Renton at this gateway location by regulating uses which may have visual, May 10, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 168 noise or odoriferous impacts. 2. Additional staff review is to occur in the future as part of further Zoning Code housekeeping amendments to evaluate the issue of screening and site maintenance of industrial uses such as heavy equipment sales and storage,taxi and transportation services. 3. The draft Code amendments be forwarded to the City Attorney's office for development of an ordinance. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.

MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Community Services Community Services Committee Chair Nelson presented a report regarding a Committee skateboard park in Renton. The City of Renton adopted its Comprehensive Parks: Skateboard Park Parks&Recreation Open Space Plan in 1993. At that time,there was discussion about including a skateboard park as a recommended project,but the need and demand had not been defined and there were major concerns about liability. In 1997, the Washington State Legislature amended the recreational land use law to include skateboarding,which had the effect of limiting the City's liability. In addition,the City's current insurance carrier covers skate parks at no additional premium charge. In the past several years,the need and demand for such a facility has become apparent and many other cities have built skateboard parks. Their experience has shown no increased liability and very few problems. Therefore,the Community Services Committee recommended that the City begin the process to identify potential locations for a skateboard park facility, and include the facility in the update of the Comprehensive Parks and Recreation and Open Space Plan. It is the intent of this recommendation to expedite the siting and construction of a skateboard park in the City of Renton. This may require an amendment to the existing Comprehensive Plan, a grant funding application, and the development of a public/private partnership to build the facility. This effort will not displace any existing project currently identified in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. This item will remain in the Community Services Committee for periodic updates. MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER,COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Mayor Tanner noted that, while staff can identify potential locations for a skateboard park and include such a facility in the update of the Comprehensive Parks and Recreation and Open Space Plan, at some point Council will need to appropriate funds for the park's design and construction. Parks: Cedar River Trail Community Services Committee Chair Nelson presented a report Maintenance (by Renton of recommending concurrence in the staff recommendation to approve the Letter King County-owned portion) of Understanding between the City of Renton, the King County Department of May 10, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 169 Transportation, and the King County Parks Department for continued maintenance by Renton of a portion of the Cedar River Trail between 131 st and 149th Avenues SE(excepting the bridge structure).

AUDIENCE COMMENT Sabin Olson, 15807 SE 116th, Renton, 98059, offered to assist in the siting and Citizen Comment: Olson— design of the skateboard park in order to maximize the City's resources and Skateboard Park in Renton eliminate any unnecessary expenses in this endeavor. Emphasizing that the City should not, in any case,retain the services of a landscape architect for this purpose, since such a person would probably not be familiar with skateboard parks or what specific features would make them attractive to youth,he suggested contracting with a certain Oregon-based company which has considerable experience designing this type of facility. Mr. Olson then relayed his conversations with the property services manager at the Washington State Department of Transportation regarding whether the State would be willing to allow construction of a skateboard park on the State- owned property beneath I-405 near the Cedar River.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Susan Carlson, Economic Development, Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning EDNSP: Port Quendall Administrator, reported that in June 1998, the City entered into a one-year Development Update purchase and sale agreement to evaluate the benefits and potential risks of accepting ownership of the Port Quendall Terminals property. Ms. Carlson May 17, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes 176 reviewed that the property, 23 acres located on Lake Washington, is contaminated, to the extent that the cleanup costs exceed the value of the property. Ms. Carlson said according to the purchase and sale agreement, the property .01 owners would give the property to the City and the City would negotiate a cleanup action plan with the Department of Ecology and other natural resource trustees. The funding for the cleanup will come from State and Federal grants and from the sale of the upland portion of the property. Ms. Carlson explained that before the City can take ownership of the property, certain contingencies must be met. These include negotiating the prospective purchasers agreement, procuring insurance and funding, obtaining the necessary permits, and Council approval. Continuing, Ms. Carlson emphasized that the public benefits of cleaning up the property include retaining the shoreline for permanent public access and restoration and improvement of the fish and wildlife habitat. Ms. Carlson then introduced Environmental Attorney Bill Joyce, a consultant to the City on this project. Mr. Joyce described the various contaminants affecting the property, explaining that since it is not feasible to remove all of the site's contaminants, the City plans to remove much of it and perform containment on that which will remain. The essence of the cleanup plan is to remove the innershore soils that are heavily contaminated with creosote materials by trying to remove as much sediment as possible according to action levels set by various State and Federal agencies. Mr. Joyce reported that the best estimate for the cleanup costs is $20 million which includes the cost of insurance and project management. Pointing out `10 that substantial progress has been made on this project, Mr. Joyce explained that the issues remaining for resolution are: Department of Ecology review of the cleanup plan, permits from the Army Corps of Engineers to allow for cleanup work in the water, purchase and sale agreement with a prospective buyer and obtaining insurance. Mr. Joyce pointed out that standards have been raised due to recent developments in the Endangered Species Act thus making the cleanup process that much more complex. In conclusion, Ms. Carlson explained that in order for all the contingencies to be met, staff recommends that Council extend the date of the purchase and sale agreement between the property owners and the City until 12/31/99. Responding to Councilman Parker, Ms. Carlson said that significant progress has been made so far and due to the fact that the City has received a lot of cooperation from the Department of Ecology and other agencies, she foresaw little reason why the City won't be able to move ahead with this project. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL EXTEND THE DATE OF THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT FOR THE PORT QUENDALL TERMINALS PROPERTY TO 12/31/99 WITH THE STIPULATION THAT ALL OTHER CONDITIONS AND CONTINGENCIES REMAIN THE SAME. CARRIED. APPEAL Planning & Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Planning& Development regarding the Labrador Ventures preliminary plat (PP-98-141); the site is Committee located on the 2700 block of Lake Washington Blvd. The appeal was heard by Appeal: Labrador Ventures the Committee on May 6, 1999. Four issues were considered. Preliminary Plat, 2700 Lk 1. Rezone of R-1 property to R-5. The Hearing Examiner recommended denial Wash Blvd N, PP-98-141 of the rezone. The Committee can find no error in fact or law and therefore recommended denial of the appeal. I77 May 17, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes 177 2. Topographical resurvey. The Hearing Examiner recommended that the property undergo a topographical resurvey. The Committee finds no factual basis in the record for such a requirement. The Committee therefore recommended that the Council grant the appeal on this issue and reverse the Hearing Examiner, striking the requirement for a topographical survey. 3. Open truss bridge. The Examiner required the developer to install an open truss bridge rather than the proposed open bottom arched earth-covered bridge. The Committee could find no factual support in the record to justify such a modification. For example, an open truss bridge would create more noise. The testimony was that wildlife would find the arch bridge just as easy to bypass as would be an open truss bridge. The Committee therefore recommended that the Council grant the appeal on this issue, reverse the Hearing Examiner, and permit the applicant to use its proposed bridge subject to normal engineering review to determine that the bridge meets City bridge standards, is properly designed, and that the construction provides for appropriate erosion and sedimentation control. 4. Added SEPA conditions. The Hearing Examiner's decision requested that the Department of Fish and Wildlife survey the site and an eagle perching tree to ascertain if nesting occurs and if protection of it or the perimeter is required. Subsequently, a letter from the Department of Fish and Wildlife was received by the City on April 28, 1999, which may or may not have imposed an additional SEPA condition. However,because there was no SEPA appeal before the City Council, the Committee recommended that no action be taken by the Council under the Council's appellate authority. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler said because the Hearing Examiner asked for input from the Department of Fish and Wildlife regarding the added SEPA conditions, at the time of the appeal hearing, no one knew what these conditions were to be. Ms. Keolker-Wheeler pointed out that both the public and the developer have a right to know what these conditions are and have time to address any concerns to Council. Continuing, Ms. Keolker-Wheeler reported that after the appeal was filed, the City received two letters from the Department of Fish and Wildlife regarding this matter. She explained that since the Council must still act on the preliminary plat,by law it retains the power to establish mitigation measures before approving the plat. Therefore it was MOVED BY KEOLKER- WHEELER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL ESTABLISH A TWO WEEK PERIOD TO RECEIVE COMMENTS FROM ANY INTERESTED PARTY CONCERNING THE TWO LETTERS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE AND ANY MITIGATION CONDITIONS SUGGESTED BY THOSE LETTERS, BEFORE ACTING ON THE LABRADOR VENTURES PRELIMINARY PLAT. CARRIED. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler announced that Senior Planner Jennifer Toth Henning is the staff contact for the project and should be contacted with any questions or comments regarding the appeal. ADMINISTRATIVE Finance Analyst Derek Todd reviewed a written administrative report REPORT summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1999 and beyond. Items noted included: Kris Stimpson, Community Center and Program Coordinator, was named May 17, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes 178 Community Service's Employee of the Quarter for her outstanding efforts in developing and supervising youth and adult programs at the center, as well as the quarterly Community Services Program Brochure. * The Community Services Department summer program brochure will be now available on May 18th.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Mayor Tanner explained that the special meeting was called to discuss Metro: Regional Wastewater proposed amendments to King County's Regional Wastewater Services Plan. Services Plan David Christensen,Utility Engineering Supervisor,provided a brief Rod background of this issue. King County has been working for several years to decide how wastewater needs will be addressed over the next 40 years. Four service strategies were originally developed, of which King County Executive Ron Sims supports#3, which entails building a new treatment plant. The Regional Water Quality Committee concurred in the Executive's recommendation, with minor amendments to the plan's financial and implementation policies. This plan was also approved by the City of Renton. Mr. Christensen then described the common elements shared among the strategies, as well as their differences. The primary choice is whether to expand the two existing treatment plants (the East plant, located in Renton, and the West Point plant in Seattle), or build a new plant in the north end of the county. Renton has taken the position that its plant should not have to handle more than 135 million gallons per day(average flow). Concluding that this matter is now before the Metropolitan King County Council, Mr. Christensen said 41 amendments are also undergoing review. Council President Parker noted the arrival of Councilman Edwards at 11:13 a.m. Responding to Mr. Parker, Mr. Christensen said the Eastside conveyance system is different from Seattle's because the systems on the Eastside are not combined systems. Seattle's system,which is much older, was built to handle both sewer and stormwater and still does. WNW Mr. Parker questioned why service strategy#1, which includes expanding West Point to 159 million gallons per day (mgd) is still on the table if service strategy#2 was abandoned for the reason that a West Point expansion isn't l0 May 20, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 183 possible. Mr. Christensen explained that Renton believes expanding West Point would probably not be feasible, since the county would first have to demonstrate that no other reasonable provisions were available. *am Mayor Tanner noted that overflows do occur at the Renton plant as well as at West Point, although the ones at the East plant are not planned. He emphasized that if West Point cannot be expanded and a north plant is delayed, all growth would have to be handled by the Renton plant until 2020. Renton's Administration and City Council have previously gone on record as stating that such a scenario would not be acceptable. Mayor Tanner reported that earlier this week,he was informed that several County Councilmembers had developed an alternate service strategy that was unlike any already considered. After talking with Metropolitan King County Councilman Rob McKenna regarding this new proposal,Mayor Tanner determined the plan to be unacceptable since its central point is that the north plant be delayed until 2020. Mayor Tanner added that because this issue has tremendous implications for the City of Renton; he called a special meeting so all Councilmembers could receive the same information on the new strategy proposal. Mayor Tanner then invited County Councilman Rob McKenna to speak to this matter. Mr. McKenna said contrary to information given to Renton authorities,no striker ordinance has been prepared on this subject and furthermore,he had no intent to present one. He did, however, have a summary of the proposed amendments. Although he agreed that the County must build a north end treatment plant,Mr. McKenna doubted whether this could be accomplished by �. 2010 considering the amount of work to be done, including siting the plant, conducting the feasibility, securing permits, and actual construction. He therefore felt that Renton deserved mitigation for its current expansion and any additional ones, as well as certain guarantees (for example, if Renton accepted one more expansion, it would not have to accept another). Turning to his eight specific proposals, Mr. McKenna commented on each one, as follows: 1. The Renton plant not be expanded beyond 135 mgd without the prior consent of the City of Renton. Referring to a comment from Renton's city attorney that this may not be enforceable,Mr. McKenna clarified that he does not support service strategy#1 or#313, since he believes that landbanking would be insufficient. Instead, he favored adopting a schedule that would move the County forward on this matter while providing flexibility in the event that the north plant isn't finished by 2010. 2. Ensure that any community which takes additional treatment capacity receives mitigation not only for the physical plant impacts,but also mitigation to enhance the community. Mr. McKenna noted that the City of Seattle received $10 million as mitigation for the West Point expansion, among other mitigation. 3. Mitigation to Renton for community enhancements for the impacts of the current capacity expansion, Eastside interceptor repair, and expansion to 135 Mom mgd shall be the greater of 10% of total project costs or a cumulative total of $10 million for the three projects. Mr. McKenna acknowledged that Renton may not consider this amount of mitigation to be sufficient, and he suggested that it establish what it would believe to be an appropriate level. May 20, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 184 4. King County shall investigate all potential technologies for odor control and at the time of treatment plant capacity expansion,provide a report to council which identifies those technologies which provide best available odor control at that time. now 5. The Renton treatment plant shall not be expanded beyond 115 mgd(current capacity) without implementation of the best available odor control technology for the entire facility. Mr. McKenna said this amendment would ensure commitment on the county's part to implement improvements to reduce odor. 6. No parallel Eastside interceptor shall be constructed in the future. Mr. McKenna described this as a promise to Renton not contained in the Executive's preferred plan. 7. Establish start dates for the north treatment plant for major activity (e.g., siting, feasibility, construction,etc.). Mr. McKenna said while he did not suggest waiting until 2020 to construct the north plant, he nevertheless wanted some protection against the likelihood that the north plant won't be completed by 2010. 8. The guarantees regarding plant size, mitigation, odor control and no parallel Eastside interceptor shall be incorporated into a binding settlement agreement or consent decree between King County and the City of Renton. Mr. McKenna added that he believed that the Executive's plan does not contain adequate provision for overflows in the north end. The City of Kenmore, in particular, fears complications in the event that a north plant is not finished by 2010. A possible solution being studied is the idea of building holding tanks to temporarily store overflows during peak periods. Once the necessary capacity was available, the stored wastewater could then be treated. Now On a related subject, Mr. McKenna noted that the Washington State legislature has so far refused to raise the existing hookup charge. Thus,the question of how the new plant will be paid for must be determined before steps are taken to build it. Adding that he did not advocate expanding West Point because such a proposal would result in a protracted legal fight, he concluded that the proposed amendments would guard against liability in the event that the north plant is not finished by 2010. Mayor Tanner said that it might not be enough to have a friendly consent decree between the County and Renton, stating certain terms of agreement outlined earlier by Mr. McKenna. Renton might be better protected by an adversarial settlement agreement, which would be more enforceable. He concurred with Mr. McKenna's proposed environmental mitigation, adding that he has already gone on record supporting the idea of storing overflow in Kenmore and continued to believe that any adopted plan should include this provision. Referring to the proposed capacity surcharge for new hookups, Mayor Tanner said an additional $0.30 charge on a$30 sewer bill by 2030 is not significant and does not represent a fatal flaw in any of the plans. He emphasized that by 2020,King County's population could rise by 1 million, adding 500,000 new sewer customers to the system. The projected 387 mgd peak flow would exceed all of Renton's capacity. Mayor Tanner was adamant that Renton will not agree to a deliberate delay of the north plant until 2020. Now Mr. McKenna reiterated that it would be wise to have some contingency plans in place in case the north plant isn't finished by 2010. These might include May 20, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 185 flow agreements with neighboring sewer districts to the north as well as the previously-discussed storage tanks to ensure protection to 2015 or 2016. Mayor Tanner emphasized his desire for assurance that work on the north plant will start immediately and be pursued with all vigor. Mr. McKenna agreed that the County must assure relief from sewer overflows for the north end communities. I Ic felt that his plan also provided greater protections and benefits to the suburbs. Councilman Edwards was concerned that no amendments be proposed that might jeopardize, in any way,the building of a north plant. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler wondered if,by developing contingency plans in the event that the north plant isn't finished by 2010, that the County would be planning to fail. Mr. McKenna replied that his proposals merely provide a fallback to the most optimistic schedule for building the plant. He felt it would be prudent to establish some kind of buffer,noting that strict adherence to an inflexible deadline will oftentimes increase a project's cost. Mayor Tanner invited other Metropolitan King County Councilmembers to comment on this issue. King County Councilman Dwight Pelz praised the Executive's plan as a wise act of leadership. He said it was critical not to have an excuse for not achieving the goal of having the north end plant completed and operational by 2010. He added that next year the County will again ask the State legislature for an increase in the capacity charge. King County Councilman Larry Phillips spoke to the need of a third treatment plant to ensure regional equity. Saying that Kenmore's concerns relating to .�. overflows can be addressed without a new interceptor,he feared that constructing a new interceptor could negatively impact West Point and even result in plans for a third plant being abandoned. Mr. Phillips agreed that constructing storage facilities at a minimal cost was a good idea and could provide a three-to five-year buffer should the north plant be delayed for any reason. Christy True from King County's Department of Natural Resources relayed King County Executive Ron Sims' strong belief that the region cannot defer the investment of the north plant,but rather that this must be built as soon as possible. The Executive would, of course,want to investigate whether flow transfers and overflow storage would provide additional protection for north- end customers. She emphasized that the system will require more capacity by 2013; perhaps as late as 2015 with flow transfers. Ms. True concluded that constructing a new Kenmore interceptor would be problematic and that such a facility would likely not be available in time to ensure protection for the northern communities. Pam Bissonnette, Director of King County's Department of Natural Resources, emphasized that the current financing plan does not assume a higher capacity charge but rather is based on the existing capacity charge. She stated that having a deadline for a public works project is crucial, and that the County Executive remains committed to a 2010 deadline for completion of the north plant. Ms. Bissonnette said a decision must be made on this issue as soon as possible, particularly as the Department of Ecology is already concerned that a .... plan has yet to be adopted, and has threatened a moratorium on new hook-ups. Responding to Councilman Clawson, Ms. True said County staff believe it is possible to meet the 2010 deadline for construction of the new plant. 1 $� May 20, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 186 Councilman Schlitzer asked how close the Kenmore interceptor is to failing. Ms. True replied that this facility is about 30 years old. Regular inspections confirm that it remains one of the best pipes in the system in terms of its integrity. Pipelines such as this can last up to or even longer than 100 years WMW with proper maintenance. Council President Parker asked how Mr. McKenna's proposed amendments differ from the Executive's preferred plan with respect to environmental mitigation, odor control, and guarantees relating to expansion of the Renton plant or the Eastside interceptor. Ms. True said the Executive's proposed mitigation across all the service strategies is, overall, about 10% depending on specific project components. It includes basic levels of odor control at all facilities. It does not include plans for a parallel Eastside interceptor, although it notes that the portion in downtown Renton which was damaged by an earthquake will have to be repaired. Finally, it does not include any expansion of the Renton plant beyond 135 mgd based on current population projections. Councilman Schlitzer was concerned that the many amendments being proposed to the Executive's plan are hindering the process. Mr. McKenna replied that the County is still on track to adopt a plan to send to the Regional Water Quality Committee by its June meeting. Mr. Schlitzer said he was not worried so much about having guarantees for what could be considered internal workings as he was about having a definite start and finish date for the north treatment plant. Mr. Phillips agreed with Mr. Schlitzer that some of the proposed amendments address issues that can be taken up at a later date. He concurred that it would moo not be constructive at this time to debate changes (e.g., whether to develop water reuse at the Ballard Locks as a priority reuse project)that,while important, are tangential to the central issue of capacity. Councilman Corman supported Mr. McKenna's suggestion to have a series of deadlines for completing the north plant, since he felt this would be more effective than having a single deadline of 2010. He worried that some County Councilmembers might view Mr. McKenna's amendments as laying the groundwork for something other than a third plant option, which would be a departure from what is being proposed. Responding to Mr. Corman,Mayor Tanner said he did not object to any of Mr. McKenna's proposed amendments so long as the deadline for completion of the north plant remains 2010. He emphasized that the region needs the extra capacity, and it needs it by 2010. He added that, in his view, if the County approves a plan which delays construction of a third plant until 2020, it would in fact be committing itself to a two-plant option.

OLD BUSINESS Council President King Parker presented a Committee of the Whole report Committee of the Whole regarding work required in the former city hall building. The Committee of the Parks: Former City Hall Whole recommended concurrence in the staff recommendation to proceed with Repair and Remodeling the repair and remodeling work necessary to improve the condition of the former city hall. This work will be subject to the guidelines contained in the staff report on this subject. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Utilities Committee Utilities Committee Vice Chair Schlitzer presented a majority committee report Public Works: Tony's regarding Tony's Cleaners business relocation incentive. The Committee met Cleaners Relocation twice to consider the request from Tony's Cleaners for an increase in business Assistance(Aquifer Protection relocation incentive and for the disbursement of payment prior to incurring Regulations) relocation expenses. A majority of the Committee recommended the following: 1. Not authorize an increase in the total relocation incentive from the current maximum limit of$60,000; and 2. Not disburse the relocation incentive payment until the applicant submits verification of relocation expenses. As an alternate, the City can deposit the remaining balance of relocation incentive funds into an escrow account. The mi funds can only be disbursed to cover the costs incurred by the applicant as allowed by the administrative rule for the business relocation assistance program. The estimated remaining relocation funds balance is $36,000. May 24, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 193 The City's offer of the$60,000 payment is an incentive for business owners to expedite the relocation of their business out of Zone 1 of the Aquifer Protection Area by the end of 1999,thereby reducing the risk of contamination of the Now aquifer. The relocation incentive was not intended to compensate for all relocation costs or to buy out existing businesses. Staff will work with the applicant and the applicant's lending institution to assure that funds are available for use consistent with City Code and with the administrative rules regarding the business relocation assistance program. All agreements related to the disbursement of funds will be subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney. (The minority committee report follows.) Public Works: Tony's Utilities Committee Chair Clawson presented a minority committee report Cleaners Relocation regarding Tony's Cleaners business relocation incentive. The Committee met Assistance (Aquifer Protection twice to consider the request from Tony's Cleaners for an increase in business Regulations) relocation incentive and for the disbursement of payment prior to incurring relocation expenses. A minority of the committee recommended the following: 1. Authorize an increase in the total relocation incentive from the current maximum limit of$60,000 to $74,000; and 2. Not disburse the relocation incentive payment until the applicant submits verification of relocation expenses. As an alternate, the City can deposit the remaining balance of relocation incentive funds into an escrow account. The funds can only be disbursed to cover the costs incurred by the applicant as allowed by the business relocation assistance program administrative rules. With Council concurrence, the Chair further requested that the Administration prepare an ordinance for Council's consideration that would amend the City �.. Code to raise the maximum relocation incentive to $74,000. (See later this page for Council action on,the majority committee report.) Councilman Clawson felt that the proposal to increase the funds paid to Tony's Cleaners from $60,000 to $74,000 was reasonable and a fairly good solution to this situation. He emphasized that the $14,000 under discussion, while not a large amount to the City, would nonetheless be of great consequence to the owners of Tony's. Councilman Parker said although he supported the minority committee report when this matter was first brought before Council two weeks ago, he now believed that it was a question of fairness. Noting that all the businesses who were potentially affected by the Aquifer Protection regulations were given the same information describing the relocation incentive program, he added that the City has allowed businesses plenty of time to relocate under this program. Mr. Parker concluded that he now supported the majority committee report. MOVED BY SCHLITZER, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL APPROVE THE MAJORITY COMMITTEE REPORT.* Responding to Councilman Edwards, Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler confirmed that one condition of the administrative rule on this matter states that Tony's must maintain a business presence in Renton in order to qualify for the incentive program. The owners can accomplish this by simply having a "drop shop"where customer orders continue to be processed although the actual drycleaning is done elsewhere. *MOTION CARRIED. Planning & Development Planning &Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report May 24, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 194 Committee recommending that a public hearing be set on June 7, 1999 on proposed Planning: Multi-Family Urban changes to the Multi-Family Urban Zoning Code. These proposed changes Zoning Code Changes would make several procedural changes in the zoning text. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Planning: Convenience Planning& Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Commercial (CC)Zone regarding the proposed development agreement and covenants for the area of Changes the Taco Time headquarters, and proposed amendments to the Convenience Commercial (CC) zone. First,based on the adopted Planning& Development Committee report from January 4, 1999, staff has prepared proposed amendments to the CC zone office allowances as well as minor amendments to accessory storage in all commercial and industrial zones. A public hearing is needed in relation to the proposed amendments. Second, also based on the adopted committee report, staff in conjunction with the City Attorney have prepared a proposed development agreement for the Taco Time corporation and property owner. The development agreement is based on the ultimate adoption of CC zone amendments regarding allowances for existing, legal administrative headquarters offices with minor parking and square footage allowances. The agreement would include Environmental Review Committee mitigation measures. Since the proposed development agreement changed substantially since the time of the Planning Commission's public hearing last September 1998, another public hearing should be held. Last, as another implementation of the last adopted committee report, the City Attorney has prepared covenants for the Conrad properties to be redesignated from Residential Single Family/R-8 to Residential Options/R-10. Other covenants have been prepared related to ERC mitigation measures for the Cedar River Barbershop and Market which would be redesignated from Residential Single Family/R-8 to Convenience Commercial (CC). The Planning and Development Committee also recommended two public hearings be held on the same evening for the CC zone amendments, and for the proposed Taco Time development agreement. The recommended hearing date for both items would be June 14, 1999. The Committee also recommended approval of the proposed covenants for the Conrad and the Cedar River Market and Barbershop properties. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Councilman Schiltzer explained that his"no"vote reflected his opposition to the expansion of the Taco Time headquarters building, which was approved by Council in January. Development Services: Planning &Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Bethlehem Lutheran Church regarding the request from Bethlehem Lutheran Church for tree clearing. This Tree Clearing(Variance issue was heard by the committee on May 20, 1999. Mr. Larry Holcomb, Request) representing Bethlehem Lutheran Church(1024 Monroe Ave.NE), had requested that the Council allow the church to vary from the Land Clearing and Tree Cutting Ordinance by permitting the removal of 24 cottonwood trees simultaneously, rather than at the rate of six trees per year as allowed by Code. Four potential options were identified: 1. The church could apply for a hearing examiner variance from the Land Clearing and Tree Cutting Ordinance in order to allow the simultaneous clearing of 24 trees. 05 May 24, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 195 2. The church could consult a certified forester, licensed landscape architect, or an arborist to determine the health and/or hazard potential of the trees. Trees determined to be unhealthy or hazardous could then be removed without a variance. 3. The church could remove a maximum number of six trees in a 12-month period from the site as permitted by Code. 4. The Committee could refer the matter to Strategic Planning for study in order to determine whether revisions to the Code should be considered. The Committee discussed these four options with church representatives and advised them as follows: 1. The committee recognized the applicant's ability to request a variance from the Hearing Examiner. Such a variance would require the appropriate fees and submittal materials. However, the Hearing Examiner could only grant the variance if the applicant met all the variance criteria. It appears unlikely that such a variance could be justified. 2.. The committee advised the applicant that, according to existing City Code, they could remove any trees determined to be dead, diseased or hazardous as certified by a forester, landscape architect or arborist. In addition,up to six additional trees could be removed in a 12-month period according to the code. 3. The committee advised the church that they could remove up to six trees at this time and select six trees to be removed 12 months later in accordance with City Code. 4. Finally, the committee discussed whether the matter should be referred to Strategic Planning for study and recommendations. This portion of the Code is currently being reviewed as part of work on the Sensitive Areas Ordinance. However,because of recent issues such as the listing of certain species of r.. salmon under the Endangered Species Act, the Code would likely be more restrictive with regard to tree cutting. Since the code is already under review, further action to refer this item is unnecessary. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.

Parks: Swimming Pool to Councilman Corman called Council's attention to a recent Seattle Times article Replace Henry Moses Pool describing a new swimming pool in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood. The article stated that the pool was paid for to a large extent by money which Seattle received from King County as mitigation for building a sewage treatment plant at Discovery Park. The project also received $50,000 in King ■OV County grants and was additionally funded by private donations in exchange for personalized concrete tiles installed at the site. Mayor Tanner agreed to follow up on this, saying he supported the proposal from King County Councilman Rob McKenna that Renton receive a minimum May 24, 1999 Renton City Council Minutes Page 196 environmental mitigation of 10% of total project costs for both the current expansion and the next one. Under this proposal,Renton could receive up to $30 million for community enhancements.
