PUBLIC MEETING: 10% Notice of Intent Petition to Annex for approximately 121 acres bounded on the east by Jericho Ave. NE, if extended, between NE 6th St., if extended, and NE 9th St., if extended, and extends west and northwest to the city limits; Petitioner,Johnson. 4. PUBLIC HEARING: Recreational Vehicle and Boat Storage Zoning Code Amendment to the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone in the Employment Area-Valley. 5. APPEAL: Planning&Development Committee report re: Heritage Renton Hill Preliminary Plat INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council,feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court, has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council, while sitting as an appellate body, is acting as a quasi- judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code,,and by State law,the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning & Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence, and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning & Development Committee, the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However, this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick,easy,inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 6.

PRESS Michelle Gisi,Renton Reporter PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Johnson,Jericho accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public meeting Ave NE,NE 6th&NE 9th Sts to consider the 10%Notice of Intent Petition to Annex for the Johnson Annexation for approximately 121 acres bounded on the east by Jericho Ave. NE, if extended, between NE 6th St., if extended, and NE 9th St., if extended, and extends west and northwest to the city limits. Owen Dennison, Senior Planner, explained that the proposed annexation area is comprised of 130 single-family homes and three churches. Existing King County zoning is R-4,R-6, and R-8. Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the majority of this area as RS (Residential Single Family),for which potential zoning is R-8 (Residential Single Family; eight dwelling units per acre) and RMH(Residential Manufactured Home Park). Continuing, Mr. Denison stated that the area is within the Water District 90 service area except for an area west of Duvall Ave. NE; Renton can provide access to sewers; and Fire District#25 currently provides fire protection. He noted a shortfall of parks in the area and said that street, surface water and storm water improvements are needed. Mr. Dennison described how the proposed annexation furthers the City's business goals. Concluding,he indicated that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City policies for annexation and pointed out that the cost issues will be addressed in the fiscal impact analysis. Correspondence was read from Alan and Vana Burk, 14106 SE 124th St., Renton, 98059; and Kerry and Debra Froemke, 14044 SE 121st St.,Renton, 98059; opposing the proposed annexation. Objections included the potential public use of a private drive, sight distance problems at Hoquiam Ave. NE and NE 4th St., shortage of open space and parks, and the increase in density. 305 September 10,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 305 Public comment was invited. Alan Burk, 14106 SE 124th St.,Renton, 98059,read from a letter he submitted to Council opposing the proposed annexation. He objected to the increase in �. property taxes if his property is annexed to the City,payment of additional 6% utility tax on phone, cable,gas, and electricity bills, and payment for the City's special bond levies. In addition,he objected to the proposed annexation because it will encourage over-development in the area. Mayor Tanner said that the City's bonds for Gene Coulon Park and senior housing will be retired in 2009, and he pointed out that if the area is annexed to Renton,density will be no higher, and perhaps less,than if it remains in King County. Launi Everett, 14057 SE 121st St., Renton, 98059, objected to the proposed annexation because it will cause an increase in traffic in the area. Ms. Everett also expressed concern about the cost to connect to the City's sewer system. Mayor Tanner stated that citizens are not required to connect unless they redevelop their property or incur a septic tank failure. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. Councilman Parker stated that citizens will have the opportunity to approve or not approve the annexation with the circulation of the 60% Petition to Annex. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler suggested that a neighborhood meeting be held regarding the potential annexation to provide information and to answer any questions citizens may have. Mayor Tanner asked interested citizens to submit their names and addresses so they can be notified of the meeting. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL: ACCEPT THE 10%NOTICE OF INTENT PETITION TO ANNEX; AUTHORIZE CIRCULATION OF THE 60%PETITION TO ANNEX;REQUIRE ADOPTION OF CITY ZONING ON THE PROPERTY CONSISTENT WITH RENTON'S 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 Planning: Boat&Recreational accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Vehicle Storage Zoning Text to consider the recreational vehicle (RV)and boat storage zoning code Amend(CA Zone) amendment to the Commercial Arterial(CA)zone in the Employment Area- Valley Land Use Designation. Principal Planner Rebecca Lind explained that in addition to including new screening standards for this new use, a new definition would be created for vehicle storage to include RV and boat storage. Ms.Lind stated that a property owner requested this amendment upon discovering that there is a market demand for long term RV and boat storage, and residents have also been looking for longer term storage within Renton. The Planning and Development Committee has considered this proposal and made the following recommendations: • Vehicle storage be defined as a paved, and enclosed or partially enclosed area that holds operable motor vehicles and boats or wheeled equipment for more than 72 hours. 306 September 10,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 306 • The reviewing official shall determine the level of visual and acoustical screening for these facilities. • An administrative conditional use permit be required. In conclusion,Ms.Lind said that the recommendation is to amend several sections of the City Code relating to storage,development standards and definitions. Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (Seepage 311 for ordinance.) APPEAL Council President Clawson presented a report regarding the Heritage Renton Committee of the Whole Hill preliminary plat appeal (PP-00-053 &AAD-00-149). The Committee of Appeal: Heritage Renton Hill, the Whole recommended that the Heritage Renton Hill preliminary plat be Renton Hill Community Assoc denied. Although several Councilmembers expressed personal knowledge (PP-00-053 &AAD-00-149) concerning the traffic situation on Renton Hill, that testimony cannot,by rule, be considered. Therefore,the Council Committee has limited its recommendation to the record before the Hearing Examiner. In support of its recommendation,the Committee of the Whole recommended that the full Council adopt the following changes to the Hearing Examiner's report and recommendation dated January 25, 2001. The last sentence of conclusion number one should be modified to read "reducing the density of this plat to fifty lots will not adequately reduce the untoward impacts on the existing residents." The Committee of the Whole recommended that Council make the following additional conclusions: • FINDING NUMBER 15—The plat as proposed would not further public safety. The narrow streets combined with permitted on street parking reduce several of the streets on Renton Hill to one-way streets. Adding twenty-five percent more traffic to this already unacceptable situation will create a safety hazard. • FINDING NUMBER 16—The intersection of S. 7th St. and Renton Ave. S. already presents a dangerous situation. Visibility at that intersection is poor and in some instances nonexistent. Adding an additional twenty-five percent of traffic to that intersection creates an unwarranted safety problem. • FINDING NUMBER 17—The exit from this plat is unusual. The plat exit is only 110 feet from the intersection of S. 7th Ct. with Beacon Way SE. Normally, 150 feet of distance is necessary. Even though the Transportation Division found this intersection adequate,the fact that the intersection is now a five-way intersection that would, with the addition of the exit road from this plat,become, in essence, a six-way intersection creates an unacceptably dangerous intersection. The Committee of the Whole recommended that the Hearing Examiner's conclusion number 15 be renumbered 17 and be modified to read "in conclusion the proposed preliminary plat should be denied by the City Council." The Committee of the Whole recommended that the recommendation be changed to read "the City Council should deny the preliminary plat." 307 September 10,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 307 MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY BRIERE,COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Councilman Parker stated that he is against the committee report and upholds the recommendation of the hearing examiner for the following reasons: • The transportation engineer and the City's transportation staff have determined that there is adequate street capacity with the development in place. • He can find no error in judgment with the hearing examiner's recommendations. • If the plat is denied,the City will be put in a position to be sued in Superior Court; the City cannot prevail, and will be liable for damages. Mr. Parker said that although he is sympathetic with the Renton Hill residents, he is equally sympathetic with citizens who live in other areas of Renton and are also affected by traffic problems. Council President Clawson agreed with Councilman Parker and stated that he is against denying the preliminary plat. He expressed concern about defending the denial of the plat in Superior Court, and emphasized that he represents all Renton residents,not just a single neighborhood, and cannot subject the City to a lawsuit that may cost well over$100,000 in attorney's fees. Councilman Corman also expressed his concerns regarding the committee report, saying that he spent many hours looking through the record trying to find an error that would allow the City to deny the plat. He stated that the City is not in a position to stop this,and denying the plat would only delay the .� process;therefore,he upholds the decision of the hearing examiner. *MOTION FAILED. (Mayor Tanner voted "no" to break the tie vote.) MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL DENY THE APPEAL OF THE HERITAGE RENTON HILL PRELIMINARY PLAT AND ADOPT THE PRELIMINARY PLAT AS RECOMMENDED BY THE HEARING EXAMINER.* Councilman Corman asked if there was any procedural way to have a safety study performed on intersections that will be affected by this development, even if the City cannot require the developer to make outside improvements. Councilman Parker added that it would be appropriate to look into this issue to see what could be done in the normal course of business. Council President Clawson and Councilman Corman discussed the possibility of amending the motion to require the developer to conduct a study of the traffic issues. Mayor Tanner pointed out that the Council can always address the improvements to the intersection in the future. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated for the record that all neighborhoods in the City are not exactly the same. They have unique characteristics, some more than others. In this instance,the Renton Hill neighborhood is on a very steep hill and has some constraints due to the topography and the location of the houses which are very close to the street. Pointing out that improvements to the .� neighborhood have been considered and conducted in the past,Ms. Keolker- Wheeler said that more than likely those improvements have already be done. fid$ September 10,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 308 For the record,Council President Clawson acknowledged that there are visibility problems at the intersection of S. 7th St. and Renton Ave. S. and recommended that City funds be expended to fix the problem. *MOTION CARRIED TO UPHOLD THE HEARING EXAMINER'S DECISION AND APPROVE THE HERITAGE RENTON HILL PRELIMINARY PLAT.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 2. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL 3. PROCLAMATION: "National Breast Cancer Awareness Month"—October, 2001 4. APPEAL: Planning &Development Committee report re: Montemayor Short Plat Appeal INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council,feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court, has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council, while sitting as an appellate body, is acting as a quasi- judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. 3y City Code,and by State law, the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The `Jiarties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning & Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence, and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning & Development Committee,the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However, this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick,easy, inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 5.

CARRIED. APPEAL Announcing a potential conflict of interest on the next item, Council President Planning &Development Clawson excused himself from the meeting. Time: 7:32 p.m. Committee Planning and Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a Appeal: Montemayor Short report regarding the Montemayor short plat appeal(SHP-01-005 &AAD-01- Plat Appeal(SHP-01-005 & 005). The Planning&Development Committee convened on September 20, AAD-01-005) 2001 to consider the appeal of the decision of the Hearing Examiner dated June 14,2001. The subject property is located at the northeast corner of Benson Road South and SE 29"'Street. The applicant seeks an approval of a short plat as conditioned by City staff. The applicant appealed the decision of the Hearing Examiner requiring the applicant to provide a thirty-five foot (35') half street improvement requiring the dedication of the additional land of the right of way known as 106`h Place SE. City staff had recommended approval of the subdivision with only a 20- foot wide access road. FINDINGS OF FACT 1) Staff recommended use of the existing right of way access through 20 feet of pavement with a Hammerhead turn around on an easement for emergency access. The use of the existing right of way was required of the applicant to minimize direct driveways on Benson Road. Preliminary drainage plans were approved under the Administrative Short Plat Approval. No additional dedication was required of the applicant under the staff recommendation. 2) 1060'Place SE,the right-of-way in question is 20 feet in width. 5 September 24,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 328 3) The Hearing Examiner made reference to a 26-foot private road standard as does staff during questioning. Neither the drainage nor the dedication impact on the developer was addressed. 4) The Hearing Examiner's decision reversed the staff decision and required the applicant to provide a"half street"improvement. 5) RMC 4-6-060R(2)(b) requires a minimum of 35-foot of right of way, with 28 feet of paving and six feet for curb, gutter and sidewalk on the development frontage for a "half street" improvement. 6) Based on the width of 106'' Place SE and the requirements for a "half street" the applicant would be required to dedicate a minimum of 15 feet to meet the code requirements. 7) The applicant's property is located within an R-8 zone. 8) The requirement of the Hearing Examiner to dedicate additional land for the "half-street" improvement would reduce the net area of the site and cause the current four lot proposal to exceed the maximum density limitation of the R-8 zone, requiring the project to be redesigned to three lots. 9) The record did not indicate whether alternatives such as street vacation were considered. 10) The Hearing Examiner's findings do not address how the "half street" will improve any condition caused by this development as required before a dedication can be required. 11) The physical constraints of 106ei Place SE, the subject right-of- NOUN way, on its northern exit onto S. 27`h St. would indicate that the street would most likely never be more than 20 feet wide. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW The Committee found that the record as provided is incomplete and, pursuant to RMC 4-8-110F(5) &RMC 4-8-110F(7), this matter should be remanded back to the Hearing Examiner for reconsideration and clarification. RECOMMENDATIONS The Committee recommended that the City Council remand this proceeding to the Hearing Examiner for reconsideration and clarification of the following issues: 1) Did the Hearing Examiner wish a code compliant "half street" with its attendant 15-foot dedication of additional land required or something less as evidenced by the 26-foot paved access referenced? 2) If the Hearing Examiner or this Council allows a 20-foot paved access, can drainage be accommodated by the applicant with the necessary dedication of land? 3) Is the current emergency ingress and egress adequate if a 20-foot access is allowed? 4) Would a full residential lot be lost if a"half street"were required? Nrl 5) Given the ultimate limitations of 1060'Place SE, is the requirement for a "half street"reasonable? September 24,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 329 329 6) How will the installation of a "half street" remedy a problem caused by this subdivision? 7) Were any other options,such as street vacation,considered? The Committee was mindful of the need for a speedy resolution. Therefore, the Committee recommended that the City Council request the Hearing Examiner to place this matter on his calendar as soon as possible. The Committee recommended that the City Council waive the $75.00 filing fee should either party of record appeal the subsequent decision of the Hearing Examiner. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Council President Clawson returned to the meeting.

S.,Renton, 98055,read a copy of her Citizen Comment: Fraidenburg letter to the South County Journal expressing concern that the United States —US Flag Display&Protocol flag at Renton City Hall is not displayed 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

CARRIED. Utility Committee Utilities Committee Chair Briere presented a report regarding a petition from Utility: Alder—Sewer David Alder to authorize time payments associated with special assessment ` Assessment Fee Payment to districts. The committee concurred with staff recommendation that this matter Connect to City Sewer be referred to the Finance Committee with the following recommendations: 330 September 24,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 330 1. The policy should be for payment of any special assessment district charge within the following base criteria and not just address this issue toward the Aberdeen Sewer Assessment. 2. RMC 9-16 should be revised to allow for the payments over time. The code currently requires that payment be made at the time a permit is issued for connection. 3. The time payments should be for special assessment district charges only. Systems development charges and permit fees should be paid at the time of the permit issuance. 4. Time payments should be allowed only for the owner of an existing single- family home. Commercial properties, multi-family properties, and platting or short platting properties for development should trigger the complete payment of fees per code. 5. The first payment should be due at the time of application for the permit, with additional payments due in annual time periods. 6. There should be a minimum special assessment district charge to allow time payments on. It is recommended that the minimum be$3,000 for the total of the special assessment district fees. 7. There should be a maximum period of time to make payment. It is recommended that five payments, which would total four years (first payment due at connection, second payment due at the end of the first year, etc.)be permitted. Based upon the recommendations for items 6&7,the minimum annual payment would be$600 per year plus interest. 8. This policy cannot apply to private latecomers. Under latecomers agreements,the city is required to collect the fees and pass them on to the developer at the time the property owner connects.

Amendments to Title IV, Development Regulations, creating an Airport District at the Renton Municipal Airport, creating a definition for "airport related use", and amending the zoning use tables to allow airport related uses and a municipal airport in the Industrial-Medium (IM) zone; and deleting airport uses from the Center Down (CD) zone. b.

NE 4th St. &Union Ave. NE(Northward Homes) b. Vazquez Administrative Variance INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council,feeling it was ... best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court, has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council, while sitting as an appellate body,is acting as a quasi- judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code, and by State law,the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning & Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence, and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning &Development Committee, the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However, this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick, easy, inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 5.

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: Airport Related Uses accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro Tem Clawson opened the Zoning Text Amendments (IM public hearing to consider amendments to Title IV,Development Regulations, Zone) creating an Airport District at the Renton Municipal Airport, creating a definition for"airport related use", and amending the zoning use tables to allow airport related uses and a municipal airport in the Industrial-Medium(IM)zone; =MW and deleting airport uses from the Center Downtown(CD) zone. Rebecca Lind,Principal Planner,explained that the airport is zoned IM, and currently, airport and airport related uses are not specifically listed in the use table; therefore, the uses need to be determined, along with development standards specific to airports and the required permit types within airports. Historically, the airport was zoned Public Use (P-1); upon discontinuation of this zone, P-1 zoned parcels have been systematically rezoned, including the airport in December 2000. Ms.Lind said that staff proposes to add airport and airport related uses to the IM zone. Creation of an Airport Development District in Chapter 3,Title IV (Development Regulations), as well as a specific list of allowed and accessory uses is also proposed. Ms.Lind indicated that development standards pertinent to airport activities will also be included. Additionally, it is proposed that the hearing examiner conditional use process be required for all activities. A map of the airport area is proposed to be included in the zoning text portion of the City Code, but not on the zoning map. Ms. Lind also noted that staff proposes to eliminate the airport use from the Center Downtown(CD) zone and adopt a definition for airport related uses. Continuing,Ms. Lind detailed various format and regulatory options explored by staff prior to bringing the proposal before Council. She stated that after consideration of the options, staff recommends the creation of an Airport ..� Development District for the following reasons: 349 October 8,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 349 • Provides guidance on uses and standards and the authority is clearly stated in the Code. mom • It is user friendly; regulations are listed in the Code rather that in a separate document. • A zoning map overlay is not needed. In conclusion,Ms. Lind stated that the Planning Commission will review the matter at its meeting on October 10th, and the Planning&Development Committee will also review it at an upcoming meeting. Public comment was invited. Al Banholzer, 14932— 165th Pl. SE,Renton, 98059, stated his support for the establishment of a unique zone for the airport; and recommended that changes in the zoning requirements for the airport be tabled until the completion of the airport business plan. Additionally, he recommended the creation of an Airport Zoning Overlay District instead of an Airport Development District as proposed because it would more clearly define what the airport is and where it is located. Stating that regulations would be the same for both types of districts,Ms.Lind explained that under the Airport Development District,the airport would not be shown separately on the zoning map. However, a map and a description of the airport would appear in the zoning text portion of the City Code. Responding to Councilman Corman's inquiry regarding the creation of a unique airport zone,Ms. Lind indicated that option had not been pursued in an attempt to keep down the number of zones within the City. Councilman Persson and NOON Councilman Corman stated their support for exploring that option. David J. Kotker,Airport Advisory Committee member,4339 134th Pl. SE, Bellevue, 98006, said that he also supported the creation of an airport zone. Mr. Kotker recommended that the City consult with the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)to ensure consistent definitions for airport uses. In addition, he asked the City to consider compatible land uses around the airport and cited Revised Code of Washington Section 36.7A.510 which relates to growth management planning for general aviation airports. Responding to Councilman Parker's inquiry regarding the airport related use definition,Mr. Kotker suggested that the City use the FAA's definition for aeronautical activity. Diane Paholke,Airport Advisory Committee member, 325 Edmonds Ave. SE, Renton, 98056,recommended that the matter be tabled until the airport business plan is completed, and she expressed her concern about how the City's proposed airport related use definition differs from the FAA's definition. Responding to Council inquiry about the timing of the proposed zoning changes,Ms. Lind explained that staff was making an effort to put these changes in place prior to the expiration of the moratorium on the approval of leases and subleases at the airport on October 31st. If Council needs more time to consider the changes, she pointed out that the Development Services Division determined that any applications submitted after the expiration of the moratorium could be processed under an administrative determination. SNOW 550 October 8,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 350 Councilmembers discussed the potential affects of the expiration of the moratorium and acknowledged that the pursuit of a business plan and the zoning changes were compatible with one another and could proceed in tandem. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, moo SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Responding to Councilman Parker's comments about the addition of the proposed airport and airport related uses list to the IM zone, Councilman Corman agreed that the list would provide protection for existing and future airport tenants. Annexation: Lee,R-8 Zoning This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Pro Tem Clawson opened the public hearing to consider R-8 (Residential Single Family; eight dwelling units per acre) zoning for the Lee Annexation; approximately 12 acres located east of Hoquiam Ave. NE(142nd Ave. SE), north of NE 9th St. (if extended) and west of 144th Ave. SE(if extended). Owen Dennison, Senior Planner, stated that subsequent to the public hearing on the 60% annexation petition on April 23rd, the King County Boundary Review Board approved the proposed annexation on July 16th. He explained that this is the second of two required public hearings on the proposed zoning for the annexation area. Describing the subject area,Mr. Dennison noted that the site contains five single-family homes and a small wetland. Continuing,Mr. Dennison indicated that the site is designated Residential Single Family under Renton's Comprehensive Plan. Potential zones are R-5 (five dwelling units per acre),RMH(Residential Manufactured Home Park), ..r and R-8. He noted that R-8 zoning would allow for eight dwelling units per net acre compared to the existing King County zoning of R-4 which equates to approximately 7.1 units per net acre without constraints. Mr. Dennison concluded that staff recommends approval of the annexation and adoption of R- 8 zoning as proposed which is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Map. Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 356 for ordinances.) APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a Appeal: Vazquez report regarding the Vazquez variance appeal (V-01-048). The Committee Administrative Variance, convened to consider the appeal of the decision of the Hearing Examiner dated Windsor Way NE(V-01-048) May 4, 2001. The subject property is located at 411 Windsor Way NE. The applicant seeks an administrative variance from the required side yard setback in the R-8 zone. The variance would allow the construction of a stairway from the sidewalk to a second floor entrance. The applicant appealed the decision of the Hearing Examiner upholding the denial of the variance by City staff. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The lot has a unique topography, making construction of any structure a uno challenge. October 8,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 351 2. Not only is the lot uniquely shaped,but it also sits down six feet from street level. 3. The lot is bordered on one side by a Puget Sound transmission line right-of- way. 4. The right-of-way is undeveloped and trees and undergrowth grow right up to the sidewalk on the subject side. 5. The only other border shared by the subject property is located opposite the proposed stairway and is unaffected. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW The Committee finds that the denial of the variance failed to properly weigh the hardship placed upon the subject site due to its unusual topography and shape. The denial further failed to weigh the minimal impact this intrusion into the setback would create. Hence the Hearing Examiner has made an error of fact in upholding the denial of the variance. RECOMMENDATIONS The Committee recommended that the City Council reverse the decision of the Hearing Examiner and grant the variance for the requested stairway. The Committee further recommended that the City refund one of the two$75 appeal fees that was paid by the applicant.

To include the childcare center within ctober 8,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 352 this FAA-imposed perimeter, would require the closure of Raymond Ave. SW. Acknowledging that the City is not amenable to the closure, Mr. Andriesen requested that the City disallow parking on Raymond Ave. SW which would lessen the threat of an Oklahoma City style terrorist attack on the facility. nwo Responding to Council inquiry, Mr. Andriesen said that FAA headquarters has agreed to mitigate the security requirements in this manner. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman stated that Mr. Andriesen's request could be accomplished by placing "no parking" signs along both sides of Raymond Ave. SW.

CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL 3. APPEAL: Planning &Development Committee Report re: NE 4th St. &Union Ave. NE (Northward Homes) INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council,feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court, has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council, while sitting as an appellate body, is acting as a quasi- judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code, and by State law, the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning & Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence, and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning & Development Committee, the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However, this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick, easy, inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 4. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 5. AUDIENCE COMMENT (Speakers must sign up prior to the Council meeting. Each speaker is allowed five minutes. The comment period will be limited to one-half hour. The second audience comment period later on in the agenda is unlimited in duration.)

Restoration However, since the meeting, and despite repeatedly contacting City staff about the matter,he reported that the easement area has yet to be restored to its original condition.

S., Renton, 98055, inquired as to what rules Council as Quasi-Judicial allow the Mayor to break a tie vote of the City Council when the Council sits as Body,Tie-Breaking Vote by a quasi-judicial body.

Ms. Nicoli submitted a petition signed by 19 residents who live adjacent to the parking area which states that they do not want tables and benches at the Kennydale Beach Park parking lot because loitering is a problem the City has not recognized and is not dealing with. Planning/Building/Public Works Department Administrator Gregg Zimmerman explained that the Kennydale Homeowners Association received a grant through the City's Neighborhood Grant Program to beautify the parking area and is working with City staff to make improvements to the parking area and to landscape the bank. Expressing concern that not all of the residents surrounding the area are in support of the project,Mr. Zimmerman pointed out that City staff picks up litter at the park on a daily basis, and sweeps the parking lot once a month. Mayor Tanner recommended that a public meeting be held with the Kennydale Homeowners Association to discuss the matter and to determine if there is sufficient neighborhood support for the park improvements. Councilman Corman suggested that City staff investigate whether neighborhoods with similar "pocket parks" are experiencing the same types of problems.

The Finance Committee concurred in the Utilities Committee and Connection (Alder Request) Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommendation that City Code Section 9-16 be amended to allow for time payments for special assessment ...r district charges. The revision to the City Code shall include the following provisions: 1. The policy for payment shall be for any assessment district charge within a base criteria and not just address this issue toward the Aberdeen Sewer Assessment. 2. The time payments shall be for assessment district charges only. Systems Development Charges and permit fees shall be paid at the time of the permit issuance. 3. Time payments shall be allowed only for the owner of an existing single- family home. Commercial properties,multi-family properties, and platting or short platting properties for development shall trigger the complete payment of fees per code. 4. The first payment shall be due at the time of application for the permit, with additional payments due in annual time periods. 5. There shall be a minimum assessment charge that the City allow time payments on. The minimum shall be$3,000 for the total of the special assessment district fees. 6. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance(s). The interest rate shall be calculated per City Code Section 9-16-7 and continue to accrue regardless of any time limits of accrual associated with the special assessment district(s). 7.

This policy will not be applied to private latecomers. Under latecomers agreements, we are required to collect the fees and pass them on to the developer at the time the property owner connects. The Committee further recommended that minor housekeeping items be corrected within Section 9-16 of City Code to provide clarification as to when special assessment districts are triggered, specifically identify the "per unit" method as an allowed method for calculating costs, and correct the text to reference special assessment districts instead of latecomer agreements.

APPEAL: Planning &Development Committee Report re: NE 4th St. &Union Ave. NE (Northward Homes) INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council,feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court,has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council,while sitting as an appellate body,is acting as a quasi-judicial ... body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code,and by State law,the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning & Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence,and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning & Development Committee,the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However,this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick,easy,inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 6.

Councilwoman Briere disclosed that she had a conversation with a staff member regarding her concerns on the safety issues related to this project. WA Councilman Corman disclosed that he had spoken with CAO Jay Covington and Mayor Tanner regarding the proposed Committee report. Council President Clawson reported that he spoke with Mr. Covington and Mayor Tanner about the Hearing Examiner's recommendation and overruling his decisions regarding street widths, sidewalks, and alternative construction. MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY CLAWSON,COUNCIL APPROVE THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* A report was presented regarding the appeals of Northward Homes and the City of Renton Development Services Division on the NE 4th St. and Union Ave. NE preliminary plat. The Committee convened on October 3, 2001,to consider the appeal of the Hearing Examiner's recommendation dated August 30, 2001, regarding the project proposed by Northward Homes. The subject site is located at the north side of NE 4th St., west of Union Ave. NE. The applicant seeks to subdivide an approximately 4.7 acre property into 66 lots intended for future development of owner-occupied townhouses served by public streets. The developer is proposing townhouses despite the fact that the underlying zoning would allow stacked apartment served by private driveways. Administrative staff had allowed some street and sidewalk modifications consistent with their interpretation of the Council's stated intentions for the demonstration project. The Hearing Examiner recommended disapproval of the plat based on these street and sidewalk deviations. ..rr City staff appealed on two grounds: that the modifications granted are an administrative decision and are not within the jurisdiction of the Hearing Examiner. Further,the City claims that the record does not support the Hearing Examiner's conclusions. The applicant concurred in the City's appeal. After considering the Hearing Examiner's report,the Committee found that the Hearing Examiner had three concerns regarding this preliminary plat: 1)There were sidewalks on only one side of the street; 2)The street widths varied between 20 and 28 feet; and 3)There were "bump outs" throughout the development. (Note: even with the "bump outs" the street widths would not be less than 20 feet at any location.) The Committee also found that absent those three concerns, the Hearing Examiner would have recommended approval of the preliminary plat. The Committee did not find any indication in the Hearing Examiner's report that identified why he determined that the proposed street widths were inadequate. Further,the Committee did not find any indication in the Hearing Examiner's report that identified an environmental reason for not approving the preliminary plat. Finally,the Committee did not find any indication in the Hearing Examiner's report that explained why the process of administrative modifications should be disregarded in this preliminary plat application. Therefore,the Committee finds there has been an error of fact and law. The Committee found that the Hearing Examiner would have recommended Una approval of this preliminary plat without the modifications granted by the administration. Therefore,the Committee recommended that the City Council approve the preliminary plat, without the modifications granted by the October 22,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 375 administration and subject to the conditions imposed by the Environmental Review Committee. The Committee determined that it was within the administration's authority to ••.• approve the street and sidewalk plan. Therefore, the Committee further recommended to the Council that the administrative staff not be foreclosed from reconsidering and regranting the modifications, to wit: the "bump outs," modified street widths, and sidewalk modifications when doing its review of this proposal in preparation for final plat approval. (end of report) Expressing his support for the Committee report, Councilman Corman stated the almost all of the Hearing Examiner findings concerned the layout of the sidewalks,the roads, and the "bump outs" in the roadways. He said that the question before the Committee was if this is a suitable piece of property for 66 owner-occupied homes or not. Mr. Corman relayed that the project falls under the auspices of a demonstration project in which development other than apartments is encouraged. He indicated that it is not up to Council to make decisions regarding safety and roadway issues and to say that the project is unsuitable for those reasons; it is the administration's responsibility to make determinations regarding the specifics of the street patterns. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated her opposition to the Committee report as written. She explained that the project design is unsafe for reasons which include: there are no places for kids to play, there are limited sidewalks,the roads and alleys are too narrow,there is a lack of rights-of-way for future sidewalk development, and the design is not pedestrian friendly. Ms. Keolker- Wheeler said that she is not convinced that this project is in the best interest of future residents. Regarding the use of demonstration projects, Ms. Keolker-Wheeler expressed her concern that the City is using the concept inappropriately. Demonstration projects have been completed within the City, and the City should be including what it learned from the projects into the codes of the City. Additionally, she expressed concerns regarding the purity of the process and how careful Councilmembers have to be to have no ex-parte contact with anyone, especially in this situation where the City is an appellant. Council President Clawson and Councilman Corman indicated that they were not influenced by the Mayor's memo regarding the project. Mr. Corman described the purpose of demonstration projects like Village on Union and said that the subject property is zoned for apartments and if developed as apartments,there would be no sidewalk standard and public streets within the project. Approval of the project as proposed will result in better pedestrian and street access, and better patrol of the streets. Mr. Corman pointed out that if the property had been zoned single-family, he would be in agreement with Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler; however, in this case it is an option. Responding to Council inquiry regarding the various street widths,Principal Planner Jennifer Henning explained that there is a 28-foot wide street width throughout the project(20-foot travel lane with eight feet of parking), and there is a 20-foot and a 16-foot alley. Referring to a diagram of the subject site,Ms. Henning detailed the street widths, and the layout of the streets and sidewalks. �• Indicating that she lives across the street from the project, Councilwoman Nelson said that she was pleased to see that the development will consist of single-family homes. Council President Clawson described City policies that 176 October 22,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 376 support this kind of development and stated that he is in favor of this project. Councilman Persson also indicated his support for the project. *MOTION CARRIED TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT. (Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler asked that her"no" vote be recorded.) ..W MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL REFER THE ISSUE OF ALLEY MAINTENANCE TO THE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE. CARRIED. Councilman Corman stated that the City is using its Comprehensive Plan the way it is intended to be used when it comes to encouraging growth,density and amenities in areas where the City wants it. He noted that when developers approach the City with projects that comply with the Comprehensive Plan and City ordinances, the City needs to allow them to move forward with their projects. He encouraged citizens who are concerned about areas that are zoned at too high of a density to approach the City now, before applications are made for development. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler pointed out that for growth management purposes,the City will be undergoing a review of its Comprehensive Plan. Responding to Council inquiry,Mayor Tanner requested a legal opinion on whether or not Council can remove unappealed land use items from the consent agenda for the purpose of reversing or amending the Hearing Examiner's recommendation.

Finance: 2001 Bond Issuance Finance Committee Vice Chair Nelson presented a report regarding the (Downtown Parking Garage), approval of an ordinance to refund 1997 debt; to issue new debt for the 1997 Bond Refund construction of the Downtown Parking Garage; and to purchase investments to meet the interest costs of the garage through 2004. The Committee recommended adoption of the ordinance that authorizes refunding of 1997 debt to take advantage of historically low interest rates. The refunding will result in savings of$431,800 over the next 17 years. The net interest rate over the life of the bonds will be 4.77 percent. In addition, the Committee recommended the ordinance also permit the City to issue$6,000,000 of new debt at 5.15 percent interest over the life of the bonds. .,� However, by placing in escrow $753,800 the City will be able to earn in interest the same amount that it is spending for interest costs through 2004. Thus, the 378 October 22,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 378 cost of the garage through 2004 is only the forgone interest earnings. These bonds have a maturity schedule through 2021. The Committee further recommended that the ordinance regarding this matter be presented for first reading and advanced to second and final reading. MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry regarding the placement of$753,800 in escrow,Finance and Information Services Administrator Victoria Runkle explained that by placing that amount in escrow, the interest earned on the money will pay for the bonds issued for the garage through 2004. *MOTION CARRIED.

APPEAL: Planning &Development Committee Report re: Langham Short Plat Appeal INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council,feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court,has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council,while sitting as an appellate body,is acting as a quasi-judicial "'° body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code,and by State law,the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning & Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence,and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning & Development Committee,the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However,this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick,easy,inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 6.

They presented the following firefighters with certificates of completion: Erik Hammes,Mike .... Johnson,Dave Laha,Tom Streifel, and Steve Wright. Cindy Johnson accepted the certificate on behalf of her husband, Seth Johnson, who passed away on October 16th. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Vacation: SW 13th St between accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Lind&Seneca,Dale Walker to consider the street vacation petition for portion of SW 13th St. between Lind (VAC-01-003) Ave. SW and Seneca Ave. SW in the Auto Mall area submitted by petitioners Dale Walker, D&C Investments,James A. Hess and William G. Bryant who represent the entire frontage along the right-of-way (VAC-01-003). Tom Boyns,Property Services Supervisor, stated that the purpose of the street vacation request is to enable the petitioner Dale Walker to develop a parts and service facility to support his new car dealership. He noted that the request meets City Code provisions for the Auto Mall Improvement District which allows exemption from fees and also allows the vacation to proceed without cost to the developer. Describing the area to be vacated and detailing the ownership of the various parcels affected,Mr. Boyns pointed out that SW 13th St. is not accessible from Lind Ave. SW. Mr. Boyns noted the presence of City-owned utilities in the area to be vacated and reported that Water,Wastewater and Surface Water Utility Divisions have requested that an easement be retained to maintain the utilities until they are relocated by the developer. He pointed out that the Fire Department supports the vacation request; and has required the installation of a water main to two fire plugs located on the north side of SW 13th St. and provision of emergency access to the fire plugs. In conclusion,Mr. Boyns indicated that the fair X88 November 5,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 388 market value of the right-of-way is $345,000 after adjustment for retaining an easement, and he stated that staff recommends approval of the request to vacate SW 13th St. Audience comment was invited. .... Dale Walker, street vacation petitioner, 14319 178th Lane NE,Woodinville, 98072, explained that his business has outgrown its current facility located at 720 Rainier Ave. S. and he plans to relocate the parts and service segment of his business to the new site and retain the new car sales segment at the current facility. He stated that approval of the street vacation would provide him with a contiguous piece of property that would allow him more flexibility in the design of the new facility. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL APPROVE THE REQUEST TO VACATE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION THAT A UTILITY EASEMENT SHALL BE RETAINED OVER THE ENTIRE RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATED; ACCEPT THE PROPERTY SERVICES STAFF RECONCILIATION OF THE CURRENT VALUE OF THIS RIGHT-OF-WAY DETERMINED TO BE$345,000; AND WAIVE ALL FURTHER FEES FOR THIS PROCESS AS PROVIDED IN THE AUTO MALL EXEMPTION IN CITY CODE. CARRIED. APPEAL Citing a potential conflict of interest with the next item, Councilman Corman Planning &Development excused himself from the meeting. Time: 7:53 p.m. Committee Planning and Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a Appeal: Langham Short Plat, report regarding the Langham short plat appeal(SHP-01-085). The Committee Sally Langham(SHP-01-085) convened to consider the appeal of the decision of the Hearing Examiner, dated August 16, 2001. The subject property is located at 1006 Shelton Ave.NE. The applicant seeks an approval of a short plat of six lots as conditioned by City staff. The applicant appealed the decision of the Hearing Examiner requiring the applicant to combine lots three and four,thereby creating a five lot short subdivision. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Staff recommended approval of the short plat consisting of six lots as proposed by the applicant. 2. The subject property has an overhead utility easement that restricts the building of permanent buildings and limits vegetation height along a portion of lots three and four. 3. The easement does not otherwise limit the use and enjoyment of the subject lots. 4. Lot three is also encumbered by a private street easement along its eastern boundary. 5. The subject property is zoned R-8 (Residential Single Family;eight dwelling units per acre). November 5,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 389 389 6. Even allowing for the private road easement and the building restrictions created by the overhead utility easement,both lots still have a buildable lot size that would allow a substantially large home to be built. CONCLUSION OF LAW The Hearing Examiner's conclusions 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 are based on his conclusions that the utility line easement is so restrictive as to leave the encumbered portion of lots three and four "virtually unusable." The Committee finds that conclusion to be an error of fact. Therefore,the Committee concluded that the Hearing Examiner's decision to require consolidation of lots three and four to be based on an error in fact. RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommended that the City Council reverse the Hearing Examiner's decision to require consolidation of lots three and four. The Committee further recommended that the remainder of the Hearing Examiner's decision be upheld. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Councilman Corman returned to the meeting. Time: 7:56 p.m. 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 2001 and beyond. Items noted included: • The Annual Hassle Free Holiday Bazaar will be held at the Community Center on Friday,November 16th,from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and on Saturday,November 17th, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. • The Rainier Classic Chevy Club donated$215 to the City of Renton Scholarship Program. • Due to the declining temperature and wet weather conditions,two paving projects have been postponed until early spring: the Wells and Williams Ave. S. and S. 4th and 5th St. asphalt pavement overlay; and the Lind Ave. SW restoration project. WSDOT: 1-405 Corridor Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman briefed Program Council on two additional proposals which have recently been submitted to the Washington State Department of Transportation's (WSDOT) I-405 Corridor Program. He stated that as soon as November 16th,the 1-405 Corridor Program Executive Committee could make a decision on the preferred alternative to improve the 1-405 Corridor. He noted that Renton conditionally endorses the current preliminary preferred alternative which involves constructing two general purpose lanes in each direction,bus rapid transit, and improvements to SR-167 and the I-405/SR-167 interchange. Mr. Zimmerman reported that the proposal submitted by Sensible Solutions for the I-405 Corridor proposes dropping one of the two lanes, and adding only one lane in each direction which would be an HOV toll lane, and adding a diesel- modular unit rail system on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe right-of-way. Another proposal suggests the usage of lane balancing by adding three general purpose lanes in each direction south of I-90. Mr. Zimmerman described the adverse impacts the proposals would have on Renton, and he indicated that the Environmental Impact Statement(EIS) would most likely have to be re-opened 390 November 5,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 390 to study the impacts of these proposals. He recommended that the administration write a letter to the I-405 Management Team expressing the City's concerns regarding the two proposals, and to suggest that the Team not waste time by studying proposals that have significant flaws. Encouraging the Council to support such a letter, it was MOVED BY ume PARKER, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO PREPARE A LETTER TO BE SIGNED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT TO THE I-405 MANAGEMENT TEAM REGARDING THE CITY'S POSITION ON THE I-405 CORRIDOR PROGRAM PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE.* Council discussion ensued regarding what should be included in the letter, who should sign the letter, and the potential impacts the proposals would have on the City. Councilmembers expressed concern that both proposals would greatly increase the cost of the project and extend the timeframe of the project, especially if additional environmental studies were required. Responding to Council inquiry,Mr. Zimmerman stated that if any of the main jurisdictions impacted by the I-405 Corridor project objected to the selection of the preferred alternative, the selection process would be sent back to arbitration. *MOTION CARRIED.

Plat: Removal of Unappealed Responding to Council inquiry, City Attorney Larry Warren commented on the Land Use Items from Consent Council's legal authority to remove unappealed Hearing Examiner Agenda recommendations from the Consent Agenda for the purpose of reversing or amending the report. He explained that when a recommendation is made to Council, Council is sitting in a quasi-judicial role; therefore, Council is limited to the record prepared for it by the Hearing Examiner. Should Council feel that the Hearing Examiner's recommendation is not supported by the factual record that he has prepared either directly, or through a lack of information, it can refuse to accept the Hearing Examiner's recommendation. Continuing,Mr. Warren explained that Council could vote to deny the land use matter, or remand it to the Hearing Examiner to fill in gaps in the testimony if there is inadequate information upon which to make a decision. He pointed out that the fact-finding authority has been delegated to the Hearing Examiner. The Hearing Examiner makes the factual determinations and then issues a report of the findings of fact,conclusions and a recommendation. Mr. Warren stated however,that according to State law,the Council retains the ultimate decision on approving the land use matter. He suggested that the Council consult with him prior to taking this type of action.

In the meantime,the Committee recommended that the City continue to follow Phase I priorities of Education, Engineering and Enforcement to respond to this issue. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Responding to Councilman Parker's inquiry, Councilman Persson stated that traffic calming type devices use education and engineering to reduce speeding. These devices could potentially be used by the City to aid in reducing neighborhood speeding rather than issuing more tickets. He pointed out that traffic calming measures could be incorporated into the design of new developments, thus reducing the cutting through and speeding in neighborhoods. *MOTION CARRIED. Development Services: Street Transportation (Aviation) Committee Chair Persson presented a report Improvements Exemption for regarding the exemption from street improvements for small short plats. On Small Short Plats August 16 and October 16,2001,the Committee met to discuss the issue of sidewalk requirements for short plats of three or less lots. Staff explained to the Committee that they felt direction was needed at this time due to priority the City Council has placed on sidewalks in neighborhoods. In the past,the Board ,,ow of Public Works has reviewed requests for deferring sidewalk improvements. Under circumstances where the sidewalks would not connect to existing X95 November 5,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 395 sidewalks, a deferral would be granted with the condition that the owners would agree to participate in a future local improvement district(LID). The deferral approval has been based on the facts that no sidewalks are present in the general area and future sidewalk improvements are unlikely due to the age and character of the neighborhood. The Committee also heard from citizens who wanted to short plat their property so they could build a house for their disabled son,but under current policy, the cost of installing the improvements would be prohibitive. Staff explained that for many small short plats, the high cost of the street improvements on a per lot basis,made these small projects economically infeasible. The Committee supported the Board of Public Works in granting deferrals for situations where the improvements would be isolated, or are impractical due to physical constraints. After much discussion,the Committee recommended that the policy direction from the City Council to staff should be to grant the deferrals under the following conditions: 1. The deferral is in an area where currently there are no sidewalks, and the prospects of additional sidewalks in the area are remote due to the age and character of the neighborhood. 2. The property owner agrees to participate in any future LID for sidewalk improvements. 3. This policy shall apply to only short plats of three or less lots. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Responding to Councilman Parker's inquiry regarding the connection of a sidewalk at two new developments on Union Ave. NE by Sierra Heights Elementary School,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman detailed what approaches can be taken to connect sidewalks. These include obtaining funding through the City's missing link sidewalk program, and, in some instances,a developer may install a temporary sidewalk. Councilman Parker suggested that the aforementioned sidewalk would be a good candidate for the missing link program.

Duty 596 November 5,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 396 NEW BUSINESS Council President Clawson asked what the City's policy is on the fill-the-boot Fire: Non-City Use of fundraising efforts for muscular dystrophy by firefighters and on the use of fire Equipment fighting equipment for occurrences such as firefighters'funerals. Mayor Tanner stated that Fire Chief Lee Wheeler has the authority to dispatch fire mod equipment in the charge of on-duty City employees subject to maintaining adequate fire coverage for the City. Regarding the fill-the-boot fundraiser in which firefighters solicit funds by going out in traffic,Mayor Tanner said that upon consultation with Police Chief Garry Anderson,Fire Chief Wheeler denied that form of fundraising because it is against the law. Police Chief Anderson confirmed that there is a statute in the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) which prohibits pedestrians from interfering with traffic in roadways. Responding to Mayor Tanner's question regarding who has the authority to manage the fire-fighting equipment once the Council appropriates funds for the purchase, City Attorney Warren replied that the Mayor's Office has that authority. He explained that the executive branch of the City manages and executes policy, and the legislative branch establishes policy. Council President Clawson suggested that the City Attorney look into the matter,report back to Council, and then the Council can determine if it wants to change the policy.

She explained that this is the second of two required public hearings on the proposed zoning for the site. She indicated that the site contains 23 single-family homes and is designated RS (Residential Single Family)in Renton's Comprehensive Plan. Continuing,Ms.Lind reported that existing King County zoning is R-4,which allows up to a base density of four units per gross acre(up to six units per acre with incentives and transfer of density credits). Describing the neighboring zoning surrounding the subject parcel, she indicated that the proposed R-8 .� zoning is appropriate for the site. Ms.Lind pointed out that under current King County zoning, single family homes,townhouses, and/or apartments are 404 m November fl,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 404 allowed,and under the proposed Renton R-8 zoning,only single-family homes are allowed.

Continuing,Mr. Del Rosario noted that the site is within Renton's water and sanitary sewer service area, the roads meet King County not Renton standards, there is a general lack of sidewalks, a shortfall of parks, and the current fire service contract with Fire District#25 transfers with annexation. He detailed the fiscal impacts of the proposed annexation assuming an increase to 106 single-family homes, a population of 132, and a new home value of$250,000 at full development, as follows: Current Development Full Development Revenues $51,329 $102,484 Costs $53,665 $102,639 Surplus/(Deficit) ($2,336) ($154) Reporting an estimated one-time expense of$72,636.24 for the acquisition and development of parks,Mr. Del Rosario pointed out that a revenue deficit at current and full development is typical for residential annexation. In conclusion,Mr. Del Rosario stated that the proposed annexation is consistent with City policies and recommended that Council accept the Petition to Annex and approve submittal of the Notice of Intention package to the King County Boundary Review Board. Council President Clawson advised that park mitigation fees will be collected .�. on the houses to be constructed in the annexation area.

As part of the purchase negotiations with the owner,the City has agreed to undergo annexation for the remainder of the owner's property.

WSDOT: I-405 Corridor At the request of Mayor Tanner,Councilman Corman(Executive Committee Program member)reported on the status of the Washington State Department of Transportation's (WSDOT)1-405 Corridor Program. He stated that the City sent a letter to the I-405 Corridor Project Management Team on November 8th expressing opposition to proposals submitted to the Committee. He explained that the Executive Committee decided to discard the Sensible Solutions' proposal which recommended adding a rail system,and the lane balancing proposal to build a third lane and hill climbing lanes was also discarded except for a footnote to add hill climbing and collector distributor lanes into the details of the project. Continuing,Mr. Corman said that the alternative selected would widen I-405 by up to two lanes in each direction,and he pointed out that this would help relieve traffic congestion on the I-405/SR-167 interchange. In addition,the bus rapid transit system proposed in the recommendation basically doubles transit on 1-405. In conclusion,he pointed out that the big issue facing this project is ... the funding. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman stated that the City was concerned that the package that was recommended as the preferred alternative might be less advantageous to the interests of the City then the Preferred Preliminary Alternative recommended by the Executive Committee on January 25,2001. However, the preferred alternative chosen on November 16th, is even more advantageous to the City's interests than expected for the following reasons: the issue pertaining to reserving transportation right-of-way along the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks was dropped,and the increase of up to two main line lanes south of the I-405/SR-167 interchange was supported. Mr.Zimmerman added that formal support of the recommendation has been moved back to March 2002 to provide the Executive Committee more time to study lane balancing and managed lanes, and the City will continue to closely monitor the study.

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Budget: 2002 Annual City of accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Renton to consider the 2002 Annual City of Renton Budget and related ordinances. Victoria Runkle,Finance and Information Services Administrator,reported that the total proposed 2002 Budget for the City of Renton is$147,936,200. The General Government Funds are$61,646,000,the Capital Funds are $28,651,800 and the Enterprise Funds are$46,147,600. She noted that the largest increase for the Enterprise Funds is a pass-through waste treatment rate increase that King County is imposing. Continuing,Ms.Runkle explained that due to the cooling economy, a "status quo budget" is being proposed and some reallocations are recommended,but no new programs. The City's goal is to wait and see what occurs in the economy before anything is changed. Detailing major changes to the total budget base, Ms. Runkle pointed out that salaries, which have increased by 5.4%,comprise 26% of the total budget; and benefits have increased by 21.6%,comprising 9.4% of the total budget. .... Ms. Runkle indicated that the property tax rate is expected to remain the same or decrease due to new construction,the 2002 levy is recommended to begin at $17.1 million, and the budget complies with Initiative 747. She reviewed the 417 November 26,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 417 recommended park rate changes which include increasing the driving range fees, facility rental fees and Community Center rates. In addition she also reviewed the utility rate changes as follows: City water, sewer and surface ■r.. water rate changes are not being recommended; King County's rate increase of $3.40 per month per household will be passed through to Renton residents; and a solid waste rate increase of 5% is recommended. In conclusion,Ms. Runkle explained that when putting together the budget, $100,000 was left unallocated. She stated that Council has indicated their preference to use$26,000 of the unallocated funds for human services, and to also use the unallocated funds to hire a full-time animal control officer. Councilman Parker detailed the reasons for the increase in solid waste rates, explaining that the City has been subsidizing the fees collected and is dipping into the solid waste account reserves. Public comment was invited. Richard Brooks,Executive Director of Renton Area Youth Family Services (RAYS), 1025 S. 3rd St.,Renton,98055,thanked the Council for its continued support of RAYS, and for its consideration of increasing the human services budget with the unallocated funds.

She indicated that the Committee felt that there should not be two groups representing the same neighborhood; therefore, representatives from each neighborhood group will meet with the Community Services Committee at its next meeting to discuss the matter. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler described the circumstances that led to the emergence of a new neighborhood group,and pointed out that the traffic circle loom is located in a newer development in River Ridge and a determination needs to be made whether a homeowners association was formed for that development and whether that association is responsible for maintaining the traffic circle. 122 November 26,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 422 Economic Development Director Alex Pietsch stated that the Renton Hill Neighborhood Association has applied for officially recognized neighborhood status,but it is the objective of the Neighborhood Program to recognize groups representing entire neighborhoods.

Tom Boyns,Property Services Supervisor, stated that the purpose of the street vacation request is to enable the petitioner to reconfigure existing right-of-way segments consistent with the required alternative right-of-way widths and alignments proposed in the Johnson-Loken preliminary plat application(PP-01- 122). He explained that a portion of the right-of-way included in this petition was dedicated in the plat of Black Loam Acre Tracts more that 25 years ago and was never developed. Referring to a map,Mr. Boyns described the property to be vacated, saying that some portions of the property are parts of lots. By dedicating more right-of-way than the petitioner is asking to be vacated,it allows the petitioner to continue with the preliminary plat process. Mr. Boyns reported that review of the vacation proposal by City staff and outside agencies has resulted in the recommendation to approve the vacation; but that the ordinance approving the vacation not be presented until the following conditions are met: • A utility easement be retained over the portion of right-of-way vacated in Lyons Ave. NE,northerly of NE 3rd St. • The northeast corner of the intersection of NE 3rd St. and the remainder of Lyons Ave. NE be rounded with a radius of 25 feet as requested by the Transportation Systems Division. Also requested, is the removal of the portion adjacent to the proposed Lot 21 from the proposed street vacation, thereby retaining 51 feet of right-of-way. • An agreement be reached between the Economic Development, Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning Department and the petitioner regarding pedestrian linkages and any necessary documentation or plat amendments to accommodate the linkages. • The proposed vacation be reviewed by Puget Sound Energy to determine its needs for any easements in the subject area. Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry regarding surface water drainage concerns,Mr. Boyns explained that the Surface Water Utility Division has reached an agreement with the developer as a requirement of the preliminary plat for the conveyance of upstream drainage through the project site. Stating that locating pedestrian access routes behind houses often becomes a nuisance and the routes may be used as criminal areas, Councilman Persson recommended that staff involve the Police Department in discussions relating to the installation of pedestrian linkages. Public comment was invited. John Skochdopole,Conner Homes Company, 846 108th Ave. NE,Bellevue, 98004, said that he had no problems with the conditions as stated except for the "A" condition that the area adjacent to Lot 21 be removed from the vacation and be left as right-of-way. Explaining that even after meeting with City staff several 450 December 3,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 430 times, and indicating that the preliminary plat project plans have been prepared, Mr. Skochdopole stated that the plat is approved for 42 feet of right-of-way with curbs and sidewalks and asked why the City wants right-of-way that will never be used adjacent to Lot 21. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman acknowledged the desire of the City to preserve a minimum of 50 foot right-of-way through this section;however,he will investigate the matter further to discover the reasons why this condition was recommended. Mr. Skochdopole advised that the legal description for the proposed vacation may have to be modified due to another street vacation request to the north of the site; and the matter concerning pedestrian linkages still needs to be determined. There being no further public comment,it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL UNRESOLVED ISSUES ARE DETERMINED. CARRIED. Vacation: NW 5th St(Rainier This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in to 91st), Chang Brothers & accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner reopened the public Miller(VAC-01-005) hearing continued from November 26, 2001,to consider the street vacation petition for a portion of NW 5th St. from Rainier Ave. N. to 91st Ave. S.; Petitioners,Chang Brothers,Inc. and Wayne and Debra Miller(VAC-01-005). Tom Boyns,Property Services Supervisor,explained that the purpose of the vacation request is to enable the petitioner to continue the existing use of the property as parking for their business and enable further economic development. He described the area to be vacated and reported that the VMW petitioners represent approximately 93 percent of the frontage along the right- of-way under this petition, and although the only other abutting property owner was informed of the public hearing, the City has had no contact with her. In conclusion,Mr. Boyns stated that there are no pedestrian or vehicular access issues associated with the proposed street vacation, and he said that after reviewing the proposal,City departments and outside agencies have no objections. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the street vacation request. Responding to Council inquiry,Mr.Boyns confirmed that there are plans to open a restaurant on the property,and that no property would be landlocked or restricted from access to a public street as a result of this vacation. Public comment was invited. Peter Chang,6301204th Dr. NE,Redmond,98053, explained that after he purchased the property for his restaurant,he found out that he had not purchased as much land as he thought he had, which is the property in question now. Describing the type of restaurant he plans on opening and the positive effects it will have on the community,Mr. Chang urged the Council to approve the vacation request. Scott Missall,999 3rd Ave., Suite 3000, Seattle, 98104,attorney for Mr. Chang, expressed concern regarding the revenue flow for the restaurant project, and encouraged Council to approve the vacation request and set compensation for now the property not to exceed one-half the appraised value. 431 December 3,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 431 There being no further public comment,it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. ,.� MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL APPROVE THE VACATION AND SET COMPENSATION AT ONE-HALF THE APPRAISED PROPERTY VALUE. 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 2001 and beyond. Items noted included: • The 8th Annual Holiday Tree Lighting festivities will take place on Saturday,December 8th, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. at the downtown Piazza Park, located at S. 3rd St. and Logan Ave. S. • On Monday,December 3rd,the Development Services Division placed in operation an interactive voice response system for building department permits and inspections. The phone number is 425-430-7202, and the system operates 24 hours per day,7 days per week, and enables customers to schedule and cancel inspections and obtain inspection results. • The volunteer recognition lunch for Police Department volunteers will be held on December 12th to commemorate the extraordinary amount of hours the volunteers contribute each year. • Puget Sound Energy(PSE)is applying to the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission(WUTC)for approval of a 14.5% electrical .... rate increase and a 2.5%natural gas rate increase. Rate decisions typically take eleven months to decide. Of more immediate concern is PSE's request for an interim electrical rate increase of between 18% and 22%. Such interim rate increases can be decided and become effective almost immediately. The WUTC gas twice previously rejected interim rate increase requests by PSE, and there is not yet any indication how this one will fare. An 18%to 22%electrical rate increase has not been foreseen in the 2002 Budget and would, if adopted,create the need for adjustments in the electrical budget line items in the street fund, the water fund,and facilities. Mayor Tanner urged Councilmembers to review the proposed rate increase by PSE,because in the future,the administration may propose that the City actively oppose this increase.

The funds were originally allocated to reimburse airport Reallocation,Recruitment supervisor moving expenses. Expenses for Planner Position At the request of Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler, Gregg Zimmerman, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator,explained that Council authorized the expenditure of$20,000 on November 19, 2001,to hire a recruiting firm to fill a vacant transportation planner position. Since then, a second transportation planner position has opened up, and staff is requesting that funds, allocated on November 5th for reimbursement of moving expenses for the airport manager position,be reallocated to help cover the cost for recruitment for both open positions.

CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL 3. APPEAL: Planning &Development Committee report regarding appeal of the Hearing Examiner's recommendation on the St. Claire rezone and preliminary plat application; 10.3 acres located in north Renton between Lincoln Ave. NE and Aberdeen Ave. NE, and between NE 31st St. and NE 33rd Pl. (PP-01-055). INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council,feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court, has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. �. The courts have held that the City Council, while sitting as an appellate body, is acting as a quasi-judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code, and by State law, the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning & Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence, and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning & Development Committee, the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However, this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick, easy, inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 4.

APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a Planning &Development report regarding the appeal of the St. Claire rezone and preliminary plat Committee application; 10.3 acres located in north Renton between Lincoln Ave. NE and Appeal: St. Claire,Karen Aberdeen Ave. NE, and between NE 31st St. and NE 33rd Pl. (PP-01-055). Dobson(PP-01-055) The Committee recommended that the Council affirm the Hearing Examiner's decision and recommendation in this appeal with the following modifications. Findings of Fact 38, Subsections A through C,page 10 of the Hearing Examiner's decision dated October 4, 2001, should be amended to read: ki A. The applicant shall submit to the City for review and approval,prior to clearing and grading, an easement, which shall be subsequently recorded, granted to the homeowner's association to maintain the ten-foot wide no clearing or grading area. In its conditions,reservations and restrictions the homeowner's association shall be responsible for establishing assessments, sufficient to pay for such maintenance, above its other monetary obligations. Native vegetation may be removed and replaced within the ten-foot strip by soil stabilizing plants, subject, however, to the approval of the City. The applicant shall also submit to the City for review and approval and subsequent recordation, a restrictive covenant permitting no construction, within the ten-foot area, of structures such as fences or sheds, without prior written approval of the City. B. Deleted. C. Shall have added: By City Code,construction is prohibited on Sunday. Construction is permitted on Saturday only by prior approval of the City including the provision of on-call inspectors. This requirement is particularly important to land clearing, grading and tree removal. Finding 40 on page 10 of the Hearing Examiner's decision of October 4, 2001, should be corrected to state that sidewalks will be included in the right-of-way. Such things as franchise utilities may be included in easement in the front yards of lots.* WMA Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler expressed concern that the report did not contain adequate language indicating that the applicant is required to inform the 463 December 21,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 463 City on days that they are going to be conducting the tree removal and grading activities. In response,City Attorney Larry Warren stated that there are requirements in the Hearing Examiner's report and recommendation that the ..� trees be pre-marked and that a fence line would be established. Councilwoman Briere pointed out that the City already requires that inspectors be contacted before that type of work is undertaken. Mr.Warren confirmed that the City must be informed prior the removal of any trees. Responding to Council President Clawson's inquiry regarding the availability on on-call inspectors on Saturdays, Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington stated that there is a procedure in place whereby contractors call ahead and request an inspector. *MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY BRIERE,COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Vacation: Lyons Ave NE accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing ROW,Abney-Revard(VAC- to consider the street vacation petition for portion of unopened Lyons Ave.NE 01-006) 6 January 7,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 6 right-of-way located south of NE 4th St. submitted by petitioners Abney- Revard,Inc., Conner Homes and George Bales (VAC-01-006). Property Services Supervisor Tom Boyns explained that the purpose of the vacation request is to enable the petitioner to reconfigure existing right-of-way segments consistent with the required alternative right-of-way widths and alignments proposed in the Morgan Place preliminary plat application. The request includes the provision to waive the appraisal process because the proposed right-of-way to be vacated is in exchange for replacement right-of- way to be dedicated in the plat. Mr. Boyns pointed out that the proposed vacation will realign Lyons Ave. S. resulting in a continuous right-of-way. Describing the proposed vacation area,Mr.Boyns stated that the right-of-way included in this petition was dedicated in the plat of Black Loam Acre Tracts more than 25 years ago and has never been improved. If the City decides to vacate the property,the property that is west of the centerline will attach automatically to the property on the west and the property to the east of the centerline will attach to the property on the east. He indicated that since the vacation request involves an exchange of right-of-way,the costs should be waived for the parties receiving the property. Continuing,Mr. Boyns reported that the Utility Division requested that an easement be retained to accommodate any future service needs. He noted that Puget Sound Energy has not responded to the City's request for review to determine any need for an easement and he said that staff feels the City can move forward without a response. In conclusion,Mr. Boyns stated that staff recommends approval of the request to vacate the right-of-way, and that compensation be waived in exchange for the additional right-of-way to be dedicated in the Morgan Place preliminary plat, subject to the retainage of a utility easement over the westerly half of the right-of-way. Audience comment was invited. Quang T. Do, 5415 NE 4th St.,Renton, 98059,expressed his objections to the proposed street vacation. Mr. Do indicated that if the vacation is approved,he will not be able to access the new Lyons Ave. NE from his property. Mayor Tanner suggested that the property be divided in a different way so that Mr. Do has access to the newly aligned Lyons Ave. NE and he inquired as to what affect that would have on the Morgan Place preliminary plat. Following Council discussion regarding how the vacated property could be divided to allow Mr.Do access to Lyons Ave. NE and the effect it may have on the preliminary plat application,Mayor Tanner recommended that the public hearing be continued until next week in order to give staff time to review the matter. Councilman Parker expressed his agreement with continuing the public hearing and asked that Council be provided with a detailed map of the subject area. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL JANUARY 14, 2002. CARRIED.

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Development Services: accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Binding Site Plan Process continued from January 14, 2002,to consider the proposed City Code changes that would establish a binding site plan process, as well as outline the ..�. requirements for using a binding site plan. Senior Planner Lesley Nishihira reported that when the subdivision ordinance was rewritten in 1995, the provisions for a binding site plan process were removed from the City Code. Although the current regulations work well for residential platting,these regulations are not suited for commercial or industrial subdivisions. She detailed the benefits of the proposed binding site plan as follows: • Allows for more flexibility in phasing of street and utility improvements to allow for better design to match the final building construction on the site. • Allows for further division of prior commercial or industrial short plats without requiring a full subdivision process. • Allows for the creation of lots for leasing purposes. • Streamlines the review process which allows for a quicker, less costly review and approval process. • Allows for merging with the approval of a site plan or development agreement for the same site, thereby coordinating development and land division for larger parcels which may take many years to complete. Continuing,Ms. Nishihira explained that the binding site plan,when proposed individually or with a site plan, would be reviewed at the administrative level within a time frame of six to eight weeks. When merged with a site plan that needs hearing examiner level review,the review time would be eight to twelve weeks. Finally, when merged with a development agreement and Council approval is needed,the review time is estimated at twelve to sixteen weeks. In January 28,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 28 conclusion, she stated that staff recommends approval of the proposed binding site plan ordinance. Responding to Councilman Clawson's inquiry regarding the need to change the City Code,Ms. Nishihira explained that over time, staff discovered that the .r. subdivision regulations did not adequately address the different needs involved with the platting of properties zoned for other than single-family dwellings. She pointed out that the binding site plan is an addition to current regulations and will address the needs of commercial and industrial zoned land. Public comment was invited. Gene Warden,Boeing Realty Corporation,PO Box 3707,M/CIF-58, Seattle, 98124,expressed his support for the adoption of the binding site plan ordinance, saying that it provides flexibility to property owners as times change. In addition,he stated that it will reduce the City's processing expense and provide owners of commercial and industrial zoned land with a timely subdivision process.

Tom Boyns,Property Services Supervisor,explained that when the matter was heard on January 7th,Mr. Quang T.Do expressed objections to the street F vacation. He reported that a meeting has been set on February 4th with Mr. Do to discuss his concerns. Mr. Boyns described the proposed vacation area and noted that if the vacation is approved,Lyons Ave. S. will be realigned. Commenting that the realignment of Lyons Ave. S. is a good traffic solution, Mayor Tanner pointed out that Mr. Do's property cannot be given access to the realigned road. If approved,the vacation will provide Mr. Do with one-half of the area located adjacent to his property resulting in an approximately 30-foot addition to his property. He noted that Mr. Do is currently using the right-of- way as a driveway. Mayor Tanner recommended closure of the public hearing after all testimony has been heard, and referral of the matter to the Transportation Committee.

Tom Boyns,Property Services Supervisor, explained that when the matter was previously heard there was confusion regarding some conditions that needed to be met prior to approval, one of them being the need for pedestrian linkages. He reported that the new sidewalks will provide the necessary linkages,thus eliminating the need for easements and the condition was removed. In regards to the portion of right-of-way adjacent to Lot 21, it was determined that this portion will not be needed for a future road and the condition was removed. Continuing,Mr. Boyns reported that the petitioners provided updated legal descriptions and maps as requested. The petitioners also amended the legal description and map exhibit reducing the vacation area by rounding the northwest corner of the intersection of Lyons Ave. NE and NE 3rd St. with a radius of 25 feet, and made adjustments to give the Bales property a full 60-foot right-of-way access.

PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Warnes, 148th accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public meeting Ave SE&SE 116th St to consider the 10%Notice of Intent Petition to Annex for the Warnes Annexation; approximately 20 acres located west of 148th Ave. SE,north of SE 116th St. and south of SE 114th St. (if extended). Don Erickson, Senior Planner, described the proposed annexation area,pointing out that it abuts the Urban Growth Boundary and contains 19 parcels and 17 single-family homes. He noted the presence of an erosion hazard area in the middle portion of the subject site. Detailing the public services,Mr. Erickson stated that the area is within the Water District 90 service area, within the Issaquah School District,within Fire District No. 10 and Renton is the designated sewer service provider. He also pointed out the shortfall of improved recreational facilities and the substandard condition of SE 116th St. Reporting that existing King County zoning is R-4,Mr. Erickson indicated that Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates this area Residential Rural for which potential zoning includes RC(Resource Conservation),R-1 (Residential Single Family; one dwelling unit per acre) and R-5 (Residential Single Family;five dwelling units per acre). Recommended zoning for this area is R-5,which is the closest match to King County's R-4 zone. Mr.Erickson stated that both zones would allow approximately 80 to 90 units; however, under King County zoning if incentives were applied, 120 units could potentially be allowed. In conclusion,Mr.Erickson said that the proposal is consistent with City policies and King County Boundary Review Board objectives for annexation. Responding to Councilman Parker's inquiry,Mr. Erickson confirmed that with incentives,King County zoning would allow up to 120 units on the subject site. He noted that King County zoning also allows attached multi-family units which are not allowed under Renton zoning. OFebruary 4,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 40 A petition, signed by 13 people asking that they be excluded from the annexation area was entered into the record. Public comment was invited. Tom O'Hara, 11441 148th Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, stated that he lives within the boundaries of the proposed annexation area, and that he was the drafter of the petition for those wishing to be excluded from the annexation. Explaining that the petitioners represent 81% of the assessed value of the properties in question,Mr. O'Hara reviewed the assessed value of the parcels owned by those wishing to be excluded. He noted that the total assessed property valuation for all those that oppose the annexation is $3,059,000 and the total assessed value for all properties is $3,768,000. In light of the opposition to the proposed annexation,Mayor Tanner announced that the administration is withdrawing its recommendation that the City accept the 10%Notice of Intent to Annex Petition. MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING.* Mark Avakian, 11465 146th Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, stated his opposition to the annexation. Susan Warnes, 14620 SE 116th St.,Renton,98059,proponent of the annexation,detailed the reasons why it would be beneficial to annex to the City of Renton. Stating that she would prefer to see the area developed with improvements and with fewer dwelling units per acre,Ms. Warnes expressed her desire that the City conduct a meeting to provide citizens with more information. Councilmembers Corman and Keolker-Wheeler encouraged citizens to educate themselves about the Urban Growth Boundary and the Growth Management Act.

ORDINANCES AND The following added resolution was presented for reading and adoption: RESOLUTIONS Added A resolution was read stating opposition to Senate Bill 6366 and House Bill Resolution#3551 2340.* Utility: Opposing Senate Bill Gregg Zimmerman,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator,explained 6366&House Bill 2340 re that Senate Bill 6366 and House Bill 2340,known as the eminent domain bills, Eminent Domain Authority for would prevent the siting of regional essential public facilities in an area if it is Essential Public Facilities not part of the service area of an essential public facility, and if the legislative authority of the city and county in which the land is located do not approve of the location. He said that the intent of these bills are to enable the City of Edmonds to block siting of the Brightwater Treatment Plant at the site known as Edmonds Unocal, one of two sites under consideration by King County for a regional treatment facility. Continuing,Mr. Zimmerman stated that this legislation contradicts the Growth Management Act(GMA)which provides assurances that essential regional facilities that are difficult to site will be built in an optimal location and local comprehensive plans cannot preclude the siting of these facilities. In addition to compromising the basic foundation of the GMA,the legislation would set a dangerous precedent regarding the ability to site regional essential facilities in the future, and would reverse the collaborative regional work done over the last five years to select an optimal location for a wastewater treatment facility needed to accommodate growth in King and Snohomish Counties. February 4,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 44 Mr. Zimmerman recalled concern about King County's need to expand its regional wastewater treatment capability and the ultimate decision to site a third facility to the north rather than expand the existing facility which would greatly affect the City of Renton. He indicated that if the opportunity to build a site to now the north is lost,there is a possibility that the expansion of the current treatment facility would be revisited. In conclusion,Mr. Zimmerman stated that the administration recommends the opposition of the two bills on the grounds that they are contrary to the GMA and would set a dangerous precedent in the siting of essential regional facilities. *MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL APPROVE THE RESOLUTION OPPOSING SENATE BILL 6366 AND HOUSE BILL 2340.* Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated her opposition to the resolution, saying that she would like the matter to be studied further. She expressed concern that this action indicates that a city does not have any authority through its comprehensive plan in the event another jurisdiction wants to site a facility within its boundaries. Ms. Keolker-Wheeler stressed that cities should have control over their own land use. Councilman Corman stated that the issue is the use of eminent domain: a mechanism that public entities can use to acquire private property for official purposes at fair market value. Regarding the ultimate use of property,Mr. Corman said that there are State,County and local regulations in place that allow or disallow what can be done with property. Pointing out that this legislation will have a dramatic effect on the entire region, Councilman Parker indicated that there must be other avenues within the governmental process that can be utilized instead of adopting legislation that favors one community. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington noted that the City has two essential facilities located outside the City limits, and since the legislation is retroactive,he expressed concern regarding its impact on the existing structures as well as on any future facilities the City may need to place. *MOTION CARRIED. The following ordinances were presented for second and final reading and adoption: Development Services: An ordinance was read amending Section 4-1-050 of Chapter 1,Administration Binding Site Plan Process and Enforcement, Section 4-7-040 of Chapter 7, Subdivision Regulations, Section 4-8-120 of Chapter 8,Permits and Decisions, Section 4-9-200 of Chapter 9, Procedures and Review Criteria, and Section 4-11-020 of Chapter 11,Definitions, and adding a new Section,4-7-230,to Chapter 7, Subdivision Regulations,of Title IV (Development Regulations) of City Code relating to the establishment of a binding site plan ordinance for the City of Renton.

APPEAL: Planning &Development Committee Report re: DeBar Preliminary Plat Appeal INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council,feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court,has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council,while sitting as an appellate body,is acting as a quasi-judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code,and by State law,the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning &Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence,and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning &Development Committee,the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However,this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick,easy,inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 6. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 7. AUDIENCE COMMENT (Speakers must sign up prior to the Council meeting. Each speaker is allowed five minutes. The comment period will be limited to one-half hour.

SPECIAL Metropolitan King County Councilman Dwight Pelz briefed the Council on the PRESENTATIONS 2002 King County Budget. He stated that of the total budget amount of$2.93 King County: 2002 Budget billion, $497 million is spent on current expense "CX General Fund" services which makes up 17%of the total budget. Detailing the current expense expenditures,Mr. Pelz pointed out that law, safety and justice expenses make up 68% of that total. Referring to a chart of the current expense expenditures for 2001 and 2002,he described the reductions to the status quo services levels now in 2002. Continuing,Mr. Pelz reported that the current expense revenues, which total $491 million,come from: charges for services (31%),Federal, State and local grants (2%), licenses and permits (1%),miscellaneous revenue and interest (4%) and taxes (62%). Describing the current expense shortfall projections though 2004 and the expenditure level needed for status quo services,he stated that the cumulative three-year(2002-2004) shortfall is estimated at$114 million, and the upcoming two-year(2003-2004) shortfall is estimated at$73 million. Mr.Pelz discussed the difficulty with finding a way to make-up for the $73 million shortfall and reviewed the current expense balancing options which may affect the human services,parks, arts and housing budgets as well as the law, safety and justice budget. Mr. Pelz explained that because of the funding shortfalls,King County is asking the Legislature to allow it to implement a countywide utility tax. Currently, State law allows cities to levy a utility tax,but not counties. In conclusion,he stated that King County is facing some serious financial issues within the next couple of years. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler expressed concern about the potential implementation of a countywide utility tax,noting that the City already imposes a 6% utility tax. Councilman Persson stressed the importance of increasing funding for transportation, and asked for Mr. Pelz's support in that pursuit. Mr. .rr Pelz stated that he is working hard to get the Legislature to adopt a regional transportation bill and wants a significant portion of the funding,if the bill is adopted, to go towards I-405 and SR-167 improvements. February 11,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 51 51 Human Services: Business Jay Leviton,Director of the Renton School District's Career&Life Skills Committed to Kids Award Education program, announced that Wizards of the Coast was chosen as the (Communities in Schools of latest recipient of the "Business Committed to Kids" award.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Maplewood accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Heights Elementary,Jericho to consider the 60% Annexation Petition for the Maplewood Heights Ave NE&SE 136th St Elementary Annexation; approximately 9.5 acres located at the NE corner of SE 136th St. and 144th Ave. SE(Jericho Ave. NE). Gary Del Rosario,Planning Technician, stated that the 10%Notice of Intent Petition was accepted on November 19,2001,and now the 60%Petition has been submitted. Describing the annexation area,Mr. Del Rosario explained that the site includes the Maplewood Heights Elementary School and associated buildings. Existing King County zoning is R-4 (allows up to a base density of four units per gross acre, and up to six units per acre with incentives and transfer of density credits)and the area is designated RR(Residential Rural) in Renton's Comprehensive Plan. He explained that the potential zoning for a public use in the RR designation is R-5(P) (maximum density of five units per acre)and R-1(P)(maximum density of one unit per acre). R-5(P)zoning is proposed for this area because it is consistent with the adjacent zoning. Continuing,Mr. Del Rosario noted that the subject area is within the water service area of Water District 90; Renton currently provides sewer service; and fire protection is provided through a contract with Fire District#25. Explaining that the additional costs to the City are minimal if the site is annexed,he pointed out that the annexation would bring$5,146,600 of assessed value to the City. In conclusion,Mr. Del Rosario stated that the proposal is generally consistent with City policies for annexation, and recommended acceptance of the 60% Petition to Annex. Public comment was invited. There being none,it was MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

CARRIED. APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a Planning &Development report regarding the DeBar Preliminary Plat appeal (PP-01-058). The Committee Committee convened to consider the appeal of the recommendation of the Appeal: DeBar Preliminary Hearing Examiner dated August 20, 2001. The subject property is located at Plat,Brad Nicholson(PP-01- 2132, 2200, 2216 and 2224 NE 28th St. in Northeast Renton. The applicant 058) seeks to subdivide 2.69 acres into 14 lots suitable for single-family residential development. 52 February 11,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 52 Brad Nicholson appealed the Hearing Examiner's recommendation of plat approval. The Hearing Examiner did not require installation of curb,gutter and sidewalks (frontage improvements)along a portion of NE 28th St. as a condition of approval. The appellant felt they should be required. Now FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The Committee adopted the findings of facts as stated by the Hearing Examiner in the decision dated August 20, 2001. 2. The Committee found that the developer had agreed to install the requested frontage improvements on NE 28th St. in exchange for a corresponding offset from the required traffic mitigation fees and sidewalk improvement funds. 3. The agreed upon improvements will include the installation of curbs,gutter and sidewalks beginning at the intersection of the proposed plat's south- southeast comer and NE 28th St. and continuing east to the southeast comer of the second frontage lot east of the applicant's, in short,NE 28th St. to the southwest corner of the Nicholson property. 4. For the purpose of clarifying the record, the Committee found it necessary to state that the City requires sewers to be extended to the farthest edge of a plat as a condition of final plat approval. In this case,the applicant will provide sewer improvements along NE 28th St. to the far easterly boundary of the proposed plat(the southwest corner of the Nicholson property). 5. For the purpose of clarifying the record,the Committee found it necessary to state that the City requires streets to be repaired and restored to City Code compliant conditions before the final plat is approved. In this case, that means the applicant will repair and restore NE 28th St. to the far easterly boundary of the proposed plat at the southwest comer of the Nicholson property. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW The Committee found no errors of fact or law in the Hearing Examiner's findings or conclusions. RECOMMENDATIONS The Committee recommended that the City Council adopt the Hearing Examiner's recommendation and approve the final plat with the added agreed condition that the developer will add the requested frontage improvements along NE 28th St. as outlined in the above findings of fact. The Committee further recommended that the requested improvements provided by the applicant be paid for by the traffic mitigation fees required for the project and, if necessary,the sidewalk improvement fund. • The estimated costs of the improvements,per the applicant, are$10,000. • The traffic mitigation fees for the project are approximately$8,600. • The sidewalk improvement fund would pay approximately$1,400. The Committee further recommended that City staff work closely with the applicant to ensure the actual costs track closely with the estimated costs.* "MW February 11,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 53 53 Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler noted that both the developer and the appellant agreed to the conditions as stated on the committee report. *MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.

Technical Services: Acquire Transportation (Aviation)Committee Chair Persson presented a report Arlindale Tract A for ROW regarding the acquisition of Tract A of Arlindale Plat. Honey Crest LLC,the Dedication at NE 9th Ct developer of the proposed 19-lot plat of Honey Crest,requested that the City of (Honey Crest Plat) Renton acquire Tract A of Arlindale Plat from King County and join as owners .... of property included in the proposed plat by dedicating this Tract A as additional right-of-way for NE 9th Ct. The risks associated with use of this property are related to the chain of title. Provided that King County transfers this Tract A on a statutory warranty deed, their obligation to defend the title mitigates most of the risk. All risks are outweighed by the benefits of removing the impediment that has blocked development in this area. The Committee recommended concurrence in the staff recommendation to authorize proceeding with the acquisition, subject to the applicant signing a hold harmless agreement drafted by the City Attorney. The hold harmless agreement shall include language specifying the City is harmless from any damages,claims or litigation, including the costs of litigation, and attorney's fees.

The public hearing on this matter was opened November 26,2001, and continued until December 3rd, 2001.

Vacation: Lyons Ave NE Transportation(Aviation)Committee Chair Persson presented a report ROW,Abney-Revard(VAC- regarding the Abney-Revard street vacation request for portions of Lyons Ave. 01-006) NE, south of NE 4th St. (VAC-01-006). The public hearing on this matter was opened January 7,2002,and continued until January 28,2002. Testimony was heard from Mr. Quang T. Do, an abutting property owner, objecting to the requested street vacation. City staff met with Mr. Do to determine all implications of his objections. Staff determined that the objections were based upon Mr.Do's belief that his existing property received added value by being a corner lot. Mr. Do was not aware of the costs of constructing road improvements required to add the value to his property. This added cost is not offset by the added value he would receive from being the owner of a corner lot. Mr. Do requested that the street vacation proceed with the condition that the ...o utility easement recommended by City staff be limited to the easterly 30 feet of the right-of-way vacated. City staff recommended retaining an easement for utilities over 30 feet in order to enable future extension of utility services to the property to the west of the portion of Lyons Ave. NE under the petition. The location of this easement is not critical to the City of Renton. The petitioner requested that the street vacation either be reduced to the easterly 30 feet of the right-of-way under the petition, leaving the westerly 30 feet as right-of-way and removing the need for an easement, or that the easement be retained over the westerly 30 feet. The petitioner justified this request on the basis that the dedication of the new right-of-way and cost of construction of the road in exchange for unencumbered vacated right-of-way is the only appropriate solution. The Committee recommended concurrence in the staff recommendation that Council: grant the vacation over the easterly 30 feet of the right-of-way under the petition,reducing the area vacated and removing the need to retain an easement; waive the appraisal process; and approve the request to waive compensation in exchange for the additional right-of-way to be dedicated in the Morgan Place Plat.

APPEAL: Planning &Development Committee Report re: Labrador/Clover Creek Appeal INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council,feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court,has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council,while sitting as an appellate body,is acting as a quasi-judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code,and by State law,the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning &Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence,and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning &Development Committee,the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However,this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick,easy,inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 6. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 7. AUDIENCE COMMENT (Speakers must sign up prior to the Council meeting. Each speaker is allowed five minutes. The comment period will be limited to one-half hour.

APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a Planning &Development report regarding the appeal of the Clover Creek II Preliminary Plat and rezone Committee (PP-01-034)by applicant Labrador Ventures. The Committee convened on Appeal: Clover Creek II, February 21,2002, to consider the appeal of the Hearing Examiner's Labrador Ventures(PP'01- recommendation dated October 16, 2001. The subject 4.43-acre site is located 034) at Park Ave. N. and N. 27th Pl. The applicant sought to have the property .,.� rezoned from R-1 (Residential Single Family; one dwelling unit per acre)to R- 5 (Residential Single Family;five dwelling units per acre),and to subdivide the site into 15 single-family lots. According to the applicant's Appeal Memorandum submitted at the public hearing,the applicant challenged the Hearing Examiner's Finding of Fact#8 as misleading and the applicant suggested the Hearing Examiner did not rely on Findings#21 through#26 in his conclusions. Further,the applicant challenged Conclusion#1 (because it is not supported in the record);Conclusion#3 (because it is not supported in the record); and Conclusion#6 (because it is inconsistent with Findings#8 and#26). FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS The Committee found that the applicant had previously sought this same rezone on this same parcel. The rezone was rejected by the City Council. The subject rezone had been specifically considered when the prior rezone request had been submitted. Additionally, since the last analysis,there have not been significant and material changes in the area. The Hearing Examiner determined that the applicant did not meet the requirements of Renton Municipal Code 4-9-180.17 (formerly 4-8-14). The Committee agreed. Members of the neighborhood testified before the Hearing Examiner regarding the surrounding area then and now. Further,the applicant and staff informed the Committee that there has been new development in the area and there are new environmental standards ....r and development standards. The Committee found that there is not enough change to warrant a rezone. February 25,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 67 67 The Committee considered the applicant's Appeal Memorandum submitted at the public hearing,as well as his Appeal Memorandum submitted on November 20,2001. The Committee found that the Hearing Examiner's determination that the parcel has "complex topography" is not an error. Even if it were an error,it is not significant enough to alter his recommendation. Similarly,the Committee did not find error in the Hearing Examiner's failure to mention his Findings#21 through#26 in his conclusions. The applicant argued that Conclusion#6 contradicted those findings and the Committee disagreed. The applicant and staff pointed out a reference in the Hearing Examiner's report regarding "carving up" the ravine. Staff indicated that the language in the Hearing Examiner's current report virtually parroted language from the Hearing Examiner's report issued when the rezone was denied the first time on May 17, 1999,but was missing one word. The Committee found that the discrepancy, and resulting change in meaning, was insignificant and did not warrant remanding the matter to the Hearing Examiner. Finally,the Committee did not find errors in Conclusions#1 or#3. The applicant did not meet its burden of proving that the Hearing Examiner committed an error. Therefore,the Committee found that there were no errors of fact or law committed by the Hearing Examiner, and recommended that the Council affirm the recommendation of the Hearing Examiner and deny the rezone.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Municipal Court Services Director Joe McGuire and Municipal Court Judge Municipal Court: 2001 Annual Terry Jurado presented the annual report on Renton's Municipal Court. Judge Report Jurado thanked the Mayor and Council for their support of the court, particularly for allowing the court to establish a probation department with a full-time probation officer. "'o" Mr. McGuire reviewed the court's expenditures and revenues for 2001,pointing out that the court saved$56,874 of its budgeted expenditures.

Mr. McGuire reported that future plans for the court include recording the court proceedings digitally instead of by audio tape, and the holding of hearings via video conferencing. Responding to Council inquiry regarding the re-licensing program,Judge Jurado explained that the Renton Municipal Court has established a program that will work in concert with efforts of other courts in King County and the State to address the problem of court cases filed against defendants for Driving While License Suspended(DWLS).

The failure-to-appear notices that restrict defendants from obtaining their drivers licenses are cancelled, allowing the defendant to become re-licensed to drive.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Inez Petersen, 3306 Lake Washington Blvd. N.#2,Renton,98056, stating that Citizen Comment: Petersen— she lives on a fixed income,pointed out that her property taxes have doubled Property Taxes since 1994. She noted that the City portion of her property taxes rose 12% this year. Detailing her concerns about the increase in property taxes and the City's role in determining how much is collected,Ms. Petersen stated that instead of explaining the tax situation in terms of tax dollars collected,the City focused on the tax rate. She suggested that instead of imposing a property tax increase, the City should have reduced the tax rate to offset the rise in property values, thus keeping the tax increase within a reasonable and acceptable range. Ms. Petersen stated that keeping the tax increases at a reasonable level requires prioritization during budget planning. Mayor Tanner reported that the tax rate decreased this past year. He explained that last year, the City took the 1% as allowed by Initiative 747, and then added to that the previously banked property tax levy capacity. He pointed out that a large percentage of the overall tax levy was based on new construction. Mayor Tanner also emphasized that the tax rate has decreased from$3.93 to$3.26 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation since he has been in office. Pointing out that the Council spends many hours in budget deliberations every year,Councilman Corman stated that those deliberations are open to the public and he encouraged citizens to attend the budget hearings. Mayor Tanner added that the reason why the City had banked capacity was because it had not taken the maximum tax increase the year before. Councilman Clawson stated that there are no provisions in Initiative 747 that prohibits the City from using the banked capacity. In addition,he noted that the Council can only set the tax rates; it cannot control the assessed value of real property.

Responding to Councilman Clawson's inquiry regarding the decision,Mayor Tanner explained that the cities of Moses Lake and Yakima challenged the validity of the petition method for annexations,claiming it gave inordinate influence to property owners. He noted that the election method of annexation has been left in place. (See Administrative Report for additional information regarding 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 2002 and beyond. Items noted included: The State Supreme Court struck down the petition method of annexation in Washington in a decision published Monday,March 11, 2002. Concluding that"the petition method of annexation offers privileges to a favored minority and is therefore unconstitutional as a violation of the privileges and immunities clause, Article I, Section 12 of the Washington State Constitution," the Court's decision effectively suspends the eight proposed annexations currently underway in Renton. The proposed annexations are: Vuong,Maplewood,Shamrock,Wofford,Falk,Greenwood(revised March 18,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 93 93 Johnson),Bales,and Honeycreek East. The administration will suspend activity on these proposals until clarification is received on how to process annexations. ' Human Services Division will host a South King County pre-application workshop for non-profit agencies interested in applying for 2003 General Funds and Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)Funds public services on Friday,March 22nd,from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. at Carco Theatre, after which there will be a regional pre-application workshop for CDBG Capital funds from 10:30 a.m. until noon. Streets: S 180th St/SW 43rd St Mr. Covington stated that City of Tukwila is considering agreeing to a no-cost Closure(Tukwila's Grade change order with their contractor, who is building the S. 180th St./SW 43rd St. Separation Project) project, to close this street by April 3rd,a month earlier than anticipated. The reason is that some utility contractors and the railroads are behind schedule, and the contractor wants to get started on other work so they will not be delayed (and pass on delay costs to Tukwila). Mr. Covington pointed out that the Renton City Council approved the street closure proposal to begin approximately May,2002, and the administration is opposed to the early street closure because Oakesdale Ave. SW will not be open to traffic until the beginning of May. In addition, the Lind Ave. SW rehabilitation work is scheduled for April. Mr. Covington explained that these north/south corridors need to be available to traffic before the closure of S. 180th St./SW 43rd St. Stating that businesses and commuters are expecting a street closure in May, not April,he reported that Tukwila was advised that they would need to obtain Council approval to move up the street closure date to April 3rd. Mayor Tanner added that if the street is closed earlier then planned,there will ..�. be only one approach to the area due to projects on Lind Ave. SW and Oakesdale Ave. SW. This will negatively impact surrounding businesses through the loss of sales,and the City will experience a loss of revenue. Referring to a map of the area,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman reviewed the street closure and the alternative routing. He reported that City staff will meet with Tukwila on March 20th to discuss the matter. AUDIENCE COMMENT Sandel DeMastus,Highlands Community Association (HCA)President, 1137 Citizen Comment: DeMastus— Harrington Ave. NE,Renton, 98033,invited the Mayor and Council to the next Highlands Community HCA meeting on March 28th to view the new Highlands Neighborhood entry Association signs. In addition, she announced the speakers scheduled to talk at upcoming HCA meetings. Citizen Comment: Petersen— Inez Petersen, 3306 Lake Washington Blvd. N.#2,Renton, 98056,expressed Property Taxes her concerns about the increase in property taxes and quoted statistics comparing and ranking Renton's tax rates to other cities'tax rates. Referring to an article in the South County Journal regarding Renton's $5 million budget balance, Ms. Petersen suggested that the City use the money to pay off current obligations and reduce property taxes. Discussion ensued regarding the property tax rates,the tax rate statistics, assessed property values,and City services provided as a result of tax collection. It was pointed out that senior citizens may be eligible for a ..� reduction in property taxes,depending on their income,through a tax-relief program managed by the King County Assessor.

CARRIED. Councilman Corman said that a common theme among citizens who stated their positions regarding the proposed pool, is the issue of operating costs. He stressed that the pool design is such that the user fees will pay for the operating costs; and this will be accomplished,not by charging a high admission cost,but by attracting a large number of users. Mayor Tanner agreed that the proposed design will attract a large number of users and the City's subsidy to the pool would be much reduced. He pointed out that most pools have to be subsidized because they do not pay for themselves,just as most parks are subsidized by the general taxpayers. Councilman Clawson stated that according to a survey conducted in November, 2001,by the Community Services Department,citizens are also interested in the construction of an indoor pool; therefore, he recommended that the issue regarding an indoor versus an outdoor pool also be addressed. In addition,he requested that a summarized version of the survey results be made available for review,and that a cost estimate for a covered pool be prepared. Council Parker stated that he supports the pool design as developed in 1997, which includes a variety of amenities such as a lap pool and a wading pool. He emphasized that the amenities will increase the usage of the pool. Council President Nelson also expressed her support for an outside family pool, and she noted that there are already two indoor pools located in Renton at Lindbergh and Hazen High Schools.

Pointing out that the excess funds represent one-time monies,Mr. Parker stressed that there are no assurances that the City will have any surplus funds next year. Mr. Parker stated his belief that the money should be returned to the community in the form of services such as a swimming pool, a Veterans Memorial and an improved Pavilion Building. r Economic Development Administrator Sue Carlson introduced Arlan Collins, a consultant with CollinsWoerman(an architectural firm). Mr. Collins presented a report on the potential use and configuration of the Pavilion Building site.

Two of the schemes entail tearing down the building and two entail remodeling the existing building. The cost of the proposed schemes ranged from$1.9 to$4 million. Responding to Council inquiry regarding the ongoing costs for the Pavilion Building, Ms. Carlson stated that she believes that at some point in the future there will be a retail market for the space. Unlike a previous proposal which recommended converting the building into a "sophisticated" conference center, the current proposals are more flexible so that the space could be used for a variety of situations. Councilman Corman stated that he favors going forward this year with the Veterans Memorial Park,the swimming pool, and doing some work on the Pavilion Building. He explained that since the City aggressively staffs its Economic Development Department,the City has experienced significant economic growth, and the combination of economic growth and a conservative Budget resulted in excess funds. Stating that the City has studied the swimming pool issue in depth,Mr. Corman expressed his support for the swimming pool as proposed. He pointed out that this can be viewed as a Now April 22,2002 Renton Committee of the Whole Minutes Page 141 141 restoration back to the community of a facility that Renton traditionally has had. Mr. Corman also commented on Police Department staffing, and noted that the City is going to add seven police staff members this year. Mr. Clawson questioned the number of additional police staff members. He stated that Council and the public do not have enough information at this point to make an informed decision regarding the use of the excess funds. Mr. Clawson expressed concern that the City's revenues are in decline while its costs inevitably keep on increasing. Recommending that the City wait until July before making a decision,Mr. Clawson explained that by that time,more information will be available about the City's economic status and citizens will have had more time to express their opinions about how to use the fund balance. Responding to Councilman Persson's questions,Finance&Information Services Administrator Victoria Runkle reviewed a summary of City fund balances.

Mr. Jarrett reported that the legislature passed two landmark Legislature: 2002 Session transportation bills and he welcomed the City's support in helping to bring forth Report(Fred Jarrett) a transportation package to the voters this fall. He indicated that the downside raw of the session was that some of the problems cities are facing were not adequately addressed. Explaining that the next bienniums budget will be worse than this one,Mr. Jarrett indicated that the amount of spending not covered by 114 April 22,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 144 current revenues will be approximately$1 billion for the next biennium, short of any continued deterioration of the economy. Mr.Jarrett stated that he is proud to represent Renton and he often uses Renton MMO as an example of how government can be done right. Since Renton is represented by a number of legislators,he suggested that a caucus be developed in which Renton legislators meet together on a recurring basis to discuss issues that impact Renton. - 5b 9.C) Mayor Tanner stated that a Renton caucus is a good idea and offered to host the Pack I b3� caucus at City Hall. Councilman Parker suggested that representatives from the School District, Chamber of Commerce and Renton Technical College be included in the caucus as well. WSDOT: I-405 Corridor Transportation Systems Director Sandra Meyer introduced Craig Stone,I-405 Program(Concurrence Point Project Director for the Washington State Department of Transportation #3) (WSDOT),who presented a report on the I-405 Corridor Program Concurrence Point#3. Mr. Stone stated that by 2020, 700,000 people will be living in South and East King County; therefore, there is great need for transportation planning in this area. Describing the work that has been done on the I-405 Corridor project since 1999,he stated that the Executive Committee selected the Preferred Alternative in November 2001. Mr. Stone reviewed the components of the Preferred Alternative which are: Transit(bus rapid transit and HOV projects); Roadway(added lanes and arterial improvements); and Transportation Demand Management(van pools and HOV lanes). Continuing,Mr. Stone described the proposed transportation improvements in the Renton area and he discussed how detailed project analysis would be conducted in order to determine the impact of the improvements on residents, ..r especially in the Kennydale area. He reviewed considerations such as noise, visual issues,the environment,watersheds, Growth Management Act, and the Comprehensive Plan; and discussed how they factored into the I-405 Corridor Program planning process. Explaining that the I-405 Corridor Program is asking for concurrence in Point #3,Mr. Stone defined the concurrence points as follows: Concurrence Point#1 -Purpose and Needs Statement; Concurrence Point#2—Alternatives; and Concurrence Point#3 -Adoption of Plans and Programs. He stated that the City of Renton is being asked to: 1)concur or agree that the preferred alternative and mitigation concept is appropriate; 2)pursue adoption of plans and programs to implement the I-405 Corridor Program; and 3)not revisit previous concurrences unless there is substantive new information or changes occur. Mr. Stone concluded by reviewing the benefits of the I-405 Corridor Program. Councilman Don Persson explained that this topic has been discussed at length in the Transportation Committee,and it is evident that Renton's concerns are being addressed. Stating that the concurrence point pertains to the entire stretch of I-405,he commented that as the various projects progress,Renton will continue to have input regarding the mitigation, and he encouraged Council to agree with Concurrence Point#3. Ms.Meyer stated that staff recommends approval of Concurrence Point#3 ,..r including staffs conditions of approval, and that all previous requirements and comments communicated to WSDOT and the I-405 Corridor Management Team remain in effect. This includes all concurrence point information, April 22,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 145 145 expertise report comments,Preliminary Draft Environmental Impact Statement comments and Draft Environmental Impact Statement comments. She said that the conditions of approval noted at this concurrence point are as follows: r.� 1. All arterial improvements previously identified as part of the I-405 Corridor Program within the Renton area including: a)the north/south arterial of Duvall/Coal Creek Parkway with a connection to Maple Valley Hwy.,b) the east/west arterial of SW 43rd St./Carr/Petrovitsky Rd., and c)SW 27th St./Strander Blvd. from SR-167 to West Valley Hwy. will be eligible for funding as part of a cooperative partnership. 2. The planned SW 27th St. interchange at SR-167 is identified as a fully funded WSDOT project as part of the 1-405 Corridor Program. The NE 44th St. interchange is identified as a partially funded project as part of the 1-405 Corridor Program. 3. The Rainier Ave./Grady Way intersection continues to need further evaluation and serious consideration in finalizing the SR-167/I-405 interchange improvement. WSDOT must work with the City to ensure that any improvement to the interchange is compatible with the Rainier Ave./Grady Way intersection operations and that operations are improved as a result of the improvement to the SR-167/1-405 interchange. Economic development considerations must be considered in any solutions and coordinated with and approved,by the City. 4. The Sound Transit capital program and routing needs must be confirmed and found to be compatible with the I-405 Corridor Program. The City must be involved in this assessment and agree to all Sound Transit capital investments. Current voter approved capital investments include two HOV direct access interchanges(or equivalent). Three express bus routes as defined in the approved plan must be provided. Potential Sound Transit bus routes could include N. 6th St./Logan Ave. or Park Ave./S. 2nd and S. 3rd Streets,and Rainier Ave. As identified,these streets and others identified to the south need to be recognized as eligible for partnering in the securement of grants. 5. The lane-balancing proposal will potentially add hill climbing and/or collector distributor lanes to portions of the 1-405 Corridor between SR-169 and I-90. Additional lanes in this area beyond the two general-purpose lanes in each direction within the Preferred Alternative will create larger impacts to residential communities in Renton,particularly the Kennydale neighborhood. Such proposals,if seriously pursued must demonstrate transportation benefits to the 1-405 Corridor and be designed in a way to avoid, limit, minimize, and mitigate impacts to the neighborhoods to an acceptable level as determined by the City. 6. Noise impacts are of concern to the City. The Preferred Alternative must demonstrate that it does not increase noise in the corridor by including sufficient mitigation to keep noise levels at or below current levels. 7. Although the Watershed Based Mitigation concept may be a reasonable approach to mitigation for the project impacts, some impacts may have to be mitigated for onsite and cannot be mitigated for offsite. The floodplain, ... increased quantity of run-off, water quality impacts,groundwater, some fish habitat and wetland impacts may have to be mitigated for onsite, if the 116 April 22,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 146 impacts to the local jurisdiction are too great to be allowed for mitigation on a watershed(WRIA) level. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL APPROVE THE I-405 CORRIDOR CONCURRENCE POINT#3 snow INCLUDING THE CITY'S CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AS STATED. CARRIED. Sound Transit: HOV Sandra Meyer introduced Agnes Govern, Sound Transit Regional Express Improvement Projects Director;Jim Edwards, Sound Transit Capital Projects Manager; and Tim Beven, CH2M Hill Project Manager; who presented an update on the status of the Renton HOV Improvement Projects. Ms. Govern stated that in 1996,Puget Sound voters agreed to tax themselves to fund a regional high-capacity transit system. Sound Move is the adopted ten-year regional transit plan that provides for light rail,commuter rail and express bus services and facilities. Ms. Govern stated that originally,two I-405 freeway HOV interchanges were identified-a full interchange at Park Ave.N. and a half interchange at Talbot Rd. S. at a cost of$87 million. She explained how the proposed interchanges were to improve transit speed and reliability for buses, and said that an intensive project definition study was conducted to determine whether these interchanges were the best capital investments for Renton. Based on this effort, an HOV interchange at N. 8th St., located just south of Park Ave.N.,was recommended for North Renton. However, the interchange on Talbot Rd. S. was not recommended for South Renton because of the potential incompatibility with I-405/SR-167 interchange improvements. Continuing, she explained that in lieu of the Talbot Rd. S. interchange, recommendations were made to wait until Renton conducted its Rainier Ave. planning study to see if there are potential arterial HOV investments identified; and to request that the I-405 Corridor Program address HOV access needs in South Renton. Ms. Govern reported that in August,2002, Sound Move was amended to reflect the recommendations of the project definition study. Mr. Edwards described the design options for the I-405 HOV interchange at N. 8th St. He stated that the following design goals were established for the design team in the 15% design effort: 60 mph design speed,I-405 Corridor Program compatibility, asymmetrical widening of southbound I-405 to the west, and minimal northbound I-405 and property impacts. Mayor Tanner expressed his displeasure with the 60 mph design speed for the exit ramp, as this higher line-of-sight standard creates increased cost. i Continuing,Mr.Edwards detailed the three 15%design options, their requirements and their impact on surrounding interchanges. He indicated that due to the complexity of the project, all three options exceed the available budget. Since the project costs are two times the available budget,Mr. Edwards stated that Sound Transit cannot deliver the project on its own. Council discussion ensued regarding the escalating project costs and the upcoming transportation package going before the voters, and whether the N. 8th St. interchange project will come to fruition. Ms. Govern agreed that this project is somewhat uncertain and Sound Transit will work with Renton on potential contingency planning. ,O„ Ms. Govern detailed the partnering opportunities with WSDOT, and stated that even if a mutual project is defined, its funding would be contingent on a 147 April 22,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 147 successful statewide funding ballot measure. She indicated that Sound Transit's next steps are as follows: 1)Work with WSDOT to identify a viable project; 2) Provide staff support to City re-evaluation efforts; 3)Await the Rainier Ave. planning study; and 4)Await the I-405 Corridor south-end HOV improvement identification. In conclusion,Ms. Govern stated that Sound Transit will continue to make cost effective HOV efforts in Renton. Responding to Council inquiry,Ms. Govern explained that the Sound Transit Board has adopted a policy of sub-area equity, which means that any money raised in a particular sub-area will remain in that sub-area. Council discussion ensued regarding the Sound Transit feasibility study on the potential acquisition of Burlington Northern right-of-way;partnering Sound Transit efforts with the I-405 Corridor Program; the authority of sub-areas to issue bonds;the lending of money from one sub-area to another; and the need for the N. 8th St. interchange. Concern was also expressed that the taxes collected for Sound Transit projects are not being spent to improve the transit needs in the City of Renton.

PROCLAMATION A proclamation by Mayor Tanner was read declaring the month of May, 2002, Mental Health Month—May, to be "Mental Health Month" in the City of Renton,and calling upon all Renton 2002 citizens, government agencies,public and private institutions,businesses, and schools to recommit the community to increasing awareness and understanding of mental illness and the need for appropriate and accessible services for all people with mental illnesses. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY woo PERSSON,COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION AS READ. CARRIED. Peggy Moll accepted the proclamation on behalf of Valley Cities Counseling and Consultation and other human service organizations. She stated that mental health matters to the health and security of the Renton community and thanked the Mayor and Council for their generous support of human services. SPECIAL PRESENTATION Community Program Coordinator Cyndie Parks presented the Volunteer Police:Volunteer Recognition Excellence Award to Police Department volunteer Larry Yates. Ms.Parks praised Mr. Yates for his 1500 hours of service, and described his contributions as the vacation house check volunteer which entails checking the homes of residents while they are on vacation to ensure that their property is safe and intact. Councilman Persson reported that he has received many positive comments about the vacation house check program, and he commended Mr. Yates for his service. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Development Services: Fence accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Height Regulations to consider potential revisions to the maximum residential fence height regulations established in Title 4 of Renton City Code. Jason Jordan,Associate Planner, outlined the current fence height regulations for interior and corner lots, and reviewed the definition of the clear vision area as the area bounded by the street property lines of corner lots and a line joining points along said street lines 20 feet from their point of intersection. He pointed out that the maximum fence height in the clear vision area is 42 inches. 15 � May 6,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 159 Reporting that the City has received numerous fence height violation complaints,Mr. Jordan stated that residents have asked for clarity and equity within the fence height regulations. Continuing,Mr. Jordan stated that staff recommends amending the maximum residential fence height regulations to allow fences up to a maximum height of 72 inches, except for portions of the fences located within the clear vision area, regardless of their proximity to a public street. He concluded by saying that residential fences are not subject to building permit review; therefore,the revisions would provide residents with regulations that are more equitable and understandable. The revisions would also provide City code enforcement staff with more easily enforceable.maximum fence height regulations. Responding to Councilwoman Briere's inquiry,Mr. Jordan confirmed that the proposed 72-inch residential maximum fence height applies everywhere except for clear vision areas. He noted that a special administrative fence permit is needed to allow 72-inch high fences along an arterial street. Mayor Tanner recommended that Council approve revising City Code to allow fence heights up to 72 inches except in the clear vision areas. Audience comment was invited. Terry Sullivan, (mailing address) 1420 NW Gilman Blvd.,#2151,Issaquah, 98027, stated that he lives in the Orchards development in Renton and expressed his concern that nearby 72-inch high fences create a hazard when he backs out of his driveway. He said that he is not against allowing 72-inch high fences; however, care needs to be taken as to where they are allowed and not allowed. Mr. Sullivan reviewed the issues that concern him regarding the fence heights,including the safety and visibility considerations of the fence height and distance from driveways. Mr. Sullivan displayed photographs depicting different views of his driveway and the street showing the limited sight distance as a result of neighboring fences. He expressed his concern for the safety of bicyclists,rollerbladers and others because of the limited sight distances created by high fences. Responding to Mr. Sullivan's comment about enforcement of the clear vision areas,City Attorney Larry Warren stated that the City has police power to enforce clear vision area regulations when public safety is involved. Councilman Corman suggested that the City consider applying clear vision area regulations to driveways as well as to streets. Continuing,Mr. Sullivan showed a diagram of his home and driveway, and his neighbor's fence line. He suggested that the City reconsider the side yard heights,and phrase the ordinance so that clear vision area issues are addressed in order to ensure public safety. Mayor Tanner assured Mr. Sullivan that public safety is the City's primary concern, and reiterated his recommendation to permit 72-inch high fences as long as sight distance is not impaired. Mayor Tanner stated that this matter has been referred to Planning and Development Committee, and he asked that Mr. Sullivan be notified when the Committee is scheduled to discuss it. ... There being no further audience comment,it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. 1 � 0 May 6,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 160 ADMINISTRATIVE Derek Todd,Assistant to the Chief Administrative Officer,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 2002 and beyond. Items noted included: • The Renton-Cuautla Sister City Committee is sending a delegation to visit Cuautla,Jalisco,Mexico,from July 15th through July 22nd. • The Human Services Division recently updated the Renton Community Resource Directory,which is now available in English,Russian,Korean, Spanish and Vietnamese. • As part of the five-year capital replacement plan,the Community Center installed new weight room equipment to replace the existing twelve-year- old equipment. • The City received and conditionally approved an aquifer protection closure permit application for the Texaco Star Mart located at 1017 Bronson Way S. The permit indicates the owner's(Equilon Enterprises)intent to close the facility and remove the entire product fueling system by 10/13/2002, as required by the Aquifer Protection Ordinance. In conjunction with the closure and relocation of the Stoneway Concrete batch plant by that same date,both of the major sources of hazardous materials within Zone 1 of the Aquifer Protection Area will have been removed by the date required by the ordinance. This represents a major success of the ordinance in protecting the City's drinking water supply. Utility: Aquifer Protection Mayor Tanner commented on the Aquifer Protection Ordinance, saying that the Ordinance two businesses that are closing are the only two that have ever contaminated Renton's aquifer. He stated that the closure and relocation of the businesses is a major success. Councilman Parker acknowledged the City's assistance in aiding the businesses to relocate. Regional Issues: Tri-County Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman gave a Executives'Regional briefing on the Tri-County (King, Snohomish, Pierce)Executives'proposed Transportation Plan Regional Transportation Plan. He explained that that the State Legislature put forward two transportation bills,one being the Statewide Transportation Plan, and the other being the formation of Regional Transportation Investment Districts. The formation of the districts allows groups of counties to develop lists of transportation projects that are regionally important but will not be covered by the Statewide Transportation Plan. Mr. Zimmerman indicated that the Regional Transportation Plan is expected to go on the ballot in November, along with the Statewide Transportation Plan. Mr. Zimmerman reported that City staff has reviewed the Tri-County Executives'plan and described the projects and the taxes proposed in the plan. A significant portion of the improvements in King County would be for transit/HOV improvements($2.9 billion compared to$4.6 billion for roadway improvements). An additional$4.8 billion for roadway improvements could be gained by introducing tolls at the Alaskan Way Viaduct,the I-405 Corridor, and the SR-520 Translake Corridor. He indicated that without tolls, the contribution for the I-405 Corridor would be approximately$1 billion to$1.45 billion. Mr.Zimmerman pointed out that in combination with the$1.7 billion for the 1-405 Corridor in the Statewide Transportation Plan,the two plans ...r � o May 6,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 161 together,if approved by the voters, would result in$2.7 to$3.2 billion for the I- 405 project. He stated that this is significantly less than the estimated$8 billion needed to construct the project. Continuing,Mr. Zimmerman indicated that City staff believes that more money is needed in the proposed Regional Transportation Plan for the 1-405 Corridor and less for transit options. He also expressed concern about the toll proposal, and the inclusion of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe(BNSF)Railroad right- of-way preservation. Per discussion of the proposal with Ron Postuma of the King County Department of Transportation,Mr. Zimmerman stated that King County is interested in input from jurisdictions and is prepared to discuss the proposal with sub-area transportation groups. He said he was advised that the best way for the City to provide input regarding the proposal is through the sub- area transportation groups or through King County Councilmembers. Councilman Parker noted that two out of the three counties must approve the proposed plan before it can go before the voters. Councilman Corman expressed his disappointment with the proposed Regional Transportation Plan,especially with regards to the 1405 Corridor. Councilman Persson stated that the proposed plan is unacceptable and asked if the Council can go on record as opposing the proposal. Mayor Tanner recommended that the Council take a position on the matter. Councilman Clawson also expressed his disappointment with the proposal. He suggested that the City continue to review the proposed plan and make every effort to try to change it via the sub-area transportation groups. Stating that it will be interesting to learn what is discussed about the proposal in the upcoming sub-area transportation committee meetings, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL REFER THE TRI- COUNTY EXECUTIVES'PROPOSED REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.

APPEAL: Planning &Development Committee Report re: Reservoir Short Plat Appeal INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council,feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court,has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. r The courts have held that the City Council,while sitting as an appellate body,is acting as a quasi-judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code,and by State law,the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning &Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence,and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning &Development Committee, the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However,this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick,easy,inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 7. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 8. AUDIENCE COMMENT (Speakers must sign up prior to the Council meeting. Each speaker is allowed five minutes. The comment period will be limited to one-half hour. The second audience comment period later on in the agenda is unlimited in duration.)

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Development Services: Boeing accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Renton Aircraft Manufacturing to consider the proposed development agreement between the City of Renton Facility Development and The Boeing Company for the Boeing Renton Aircraft Manufacturing Agreement Facility. Lesley Nishihira, Senior Planner,explained that the Renton Boeing Plant is located south of Lake Washington and consists of approximately 279 acres. Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Employment Area Industrial(EAI)and Employment Area Transition(EAT),and the property is zoned Heavy Industrial(IH). She stated that the first plant buildings were constructed in 1942, and by 1989,the plant contained 69 major buildings totaling 6.9 million square feet. In order to accommodate projected production needs for the 1990s and beyond,additional buildings and employees were contemplated for the plant. Ms. Nishihira reported that due to the contemplated plant expansion which would include new building construction,the expansion of existing buildings, and an increased employee count,the City issued an Environmental Impact Statement(EIS)in 1990. The EIS established that in 1990, without the proposed expansion,the plant generated 28,140 average daily trips and 4,060 p.m. peak hour trips. Continuing,Ms.Nishihira stated that the proposed development agreement would provide assurance for continued Boeing airplane manufacturing uses, and certainty and efficiency with respect to future review and approval processes. The agreement would establish a vesting framework for the applicable redevelopment credits and baseline vehicle trips for analysis of impacts associated with future proposals. She pointed out that the agreement would be valid for 45 years during which Boeing would have adequate time to determine long-term plans for the subject property. Ms. Nishihira explained that in 1995,the State Legislature enabled jurisdictions to enter into development agreements with property owners. She also explained that the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)requires that development agreements undergo environmental review; therefore,the City's Environmental Review Committee issued an addendum to the EIS on May 7, 2002. In conclusion,Ms. Nishihira added that State law requires a public ..�.. hearing be held to consider development agreements, and approval of the agreements must be enacted through ordinance or resolution. 18.6 May 20,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 186 Audience comment was invited.

He described the actions of the police officer who responded to the call and investigated the incident,and he complimented the Renton Police Department for its professionalism. Mayor Tanner agreed that Renton has one of the best and well-trained Police Departments in the Puget Sound region. AUDIENCE COMMENT John H. See,438 Burnett Ave. S.,Renton,98055, stated that he supports the Citizen Comment: See—Year- construction of a covered swimming pool in Renton which will serve the End Fund Balance Use citizens much better than an uncovered pool due to the unpredictable climate. He also suggested that a portion of the year-end fund balance be reserved for economic downturns. Regarding the Pavilion Building,Mr. See questioned whether the City wants a run-down building in the middle of the downtown beautification project and said that it would take more than a can of paint to fix up the building. He suggested that the building be used as the City's Parks Maintenance Garage. Council President Nelson stated that the Council decided at its Council workshop on May 17th to bring forward a recommendation on June 3rd to construct a swimming pool with a separate lap pool. She pointed out that the May 20,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 187 187 lap pool could eventually be covered. Ms.Nelson also stated that the Pavilion Building will be fixed up so that it looks nice and will attract retailers and developers. Councilman Clawson expressed his concern regarding whether there has been enough public input and education about the swimming pool. He stated that the City needs to be careful as to how the money is spent. Citizen Comment: O'Halloran Mike O'Halloran,4420 SE 4th St.,Renton, 98059, agreed that the swimming —Year-End Fund Balance Use pool is a good investment and he recommended naming it the Henry Moses Pool. He suggested that the Pavilion Building be torn down and the space be used to expand the downtown Piazza park. Mr. O'Halloran also suggested that if there is any money leftover,that it be used to improve the City's infrastructure, such as NE 3rd and 4th Streets. Citizen Comment: Kwolek— David Kwolek, 1113 Shelton Ave. SE,Renton, 98058,expressed his concern Cedar River Spawning that using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as the general contractor for the Channel Replacement Site Cedar River side channel replacement project is an expensive mistake based on past experience with other Army Corps of Engineers Cedar River projects such as the Section 205 dredging project. Mayor Tanner commented that unfortunately the only way to get funding for the project is if the Army Corps of Engineers is in charge. Councilman Corman stated that the Utilities Committee has discussed this matter at length and he said that the City will have daily meetings with the Army Corps of Engineers during the construction of the channel. Also,the possibility of involving a representative from the neighborhood was discussed, as well as having input regarding the final clean up and buy-off of the project. .� Citizen Comment: Fillips— Judy Fillips, 3405 SE 7th St.,Renton, 98058,reported that she has been a Cedar River Spawning resident of Renton for 17 years and has been working with Cedar River issues Channel Replacement Site for much of that time. She said that the City has been a poor conservator of the Cedar River and there needs to be more oversight of what is being done. Stating her opposition to the selection of the Rolling Hills Site "A" or "B" as the Cedar River spawning channel replacement site,Ms. Fillips expressed her concerns about the management of the Cedar River conservation zone and she described illegal activities that have taken place within that area. She pointed out that placing the channel at that site will: draw more people to the area, undercut the slope over time,cause more trees to be removed, and increase the need for more enforcement of the area. Citizen Comment: Rosemary Quesenberry, 3609 SE 18th Ct.,Renton, 98058,read a letter Quesenberry—Public addressed to Councilman Clawson from the Public Disclosure Commission Disclosure Commission (PDC)in which Mr. Clawson's allegations that Ms. Quesenberry sponsored Dismissal of Complaint by false political advertising during her campaign for Renton City Councilmember Clawson were dismissed. Detailed in the letter were Mr. Clawson's allegations and the PDC staffs review of them. The allegations related to: Ms. Quesenberry's statements in her political advertising regarding property taxes and Mr. Clawson's statement in the Voter Pamphlet regarding property taxes, and the use of a portion of a letter sent to her by Councilman Corman in her political advertising. Ms. Quesenberry stated that she hopes this dismissal letter finally puts the matter to rest. ,�.., Councilman Clawson responded by saying that people in the public eye are often criticized, and Ms. Quesenberry had criticized he and the Council by erroneously saying they raised property taxes. He acknowledged the dismissal 188 May 20,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 188 of his complaints by the PDC, and stated that the free speech right under the first amendment is so powerful that any kind of restriction towards the criticizing of public officials receives strict scrutiny. He explained that it is difficult to determine if someone is malicious,especially when that person really believes that what he or she is saying is the truth. Commenting on the use of a portion of Councilman Corman's letter in Ms. Queseberry's political advertising, Councilman Clawson explained that it is illegal to imply an endorsement and he felt that her political literature made that implication. He stated that he has no ill feelings towards Ms. Quesenberry, and expressed his appreciation for her contributions to the City of Renton. Ms. Quesenberry reported that the property tax figures she had used were obtained from the King County Auditor's Office and the PDC also reviewed the numbers. She expressed her concerns regarding Mr. Clawson's interpretation of the figures and his interpretation of her use of a portion of Mr. Corman's letter in her political advertising. She stated that the letter from the PDC, and Randy Corman's letter are on record if anyone is interested in reading them. Councilman Corman stated that he rarely makes endorsements. He noted that Ms. Quesenberry accurately quoted a portion of a letter he furnished her within her political literature acknowledging those characteristics he values in her; however,it was not an endorsement. Mr. Corman indicated that he also furnished Mr. Clawson with a quote identifying his contributions to the City, but he noted that it was not an endorsement. Stating that both candidates used statements furnished by him in their political literature,he commented that he was not aware of the PDC filing until now. Citizen Comment: Dungan— Scott Dungan, 3316 SE 6th St.,Renton,98058, stated that he is a resident of Cedar River Spawning Maplewood Glen and he supports the previous speakers statements of concern +•+r Channel Replacement Site regarding the Cedar River spawning channel. He praised the City for working with the affected neighborhoods,and expressed some additional concerns regarding the proposed spawning channel replacement site. If the spawning channel is to be located at Rolling Hills,Mr.Dungan recommended that the gravel road be improved and sufficient interpretive signage be erected in the area.

The floats will match the existing and new dock elevation, and have better transition for the new gangway both from dock to dock and dock to shore.

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 2002 and beyond. Items noted included: • During the month of May, more than 1,000 Renton School District third grade students learned about City government and services as they toured different areas of the City. • The Recreation Division received a$500 grant from the United States Tennis Association for the purpose of expanding summer tennis opportunities for youth. Sound Transit: HOV Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman gave an Improvement Projects, update on Sound Transit issues. He reported that the May 25th issue of the Perpetual Easement for BNSF South County Journal contained an article about the City's dissatisfaction with Railroad Sound Transit, specifically with the likelihood that Sound Transit will not build any HOV direct access interchange ramps in Renton, as proposed in Sound Move,due to cost estimate inflation. The cost estimate for the interchange is now$160 million, which is twice the amount of the allocated expenditure in Renton of approximately$80 million. In addition, only two of the four express bus routes proposed by Sound Move in Renton are actually in operation. Mr. Zimmerman stated that the administration is concerned that Renton residents may not get a fair return on the tax money they are paying for the Sound Transit improvements. Mr. Zimmerman explained that on March 22nd,the City sent a letter to Sound Transit expressing Renton's concerns regarding the cost estimates for the HOV direct access ramp, and requesting that Sound Transit agree to a contingency plan to build other projects in Renton in case the HOV ramp is not affordable. Meanwhile, he reported that Sound Transit has requested that the City grant a perpetual easement to Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF)Railroad on City property (approximately 16,000 square feet)east of the BNSF railroad tracks so that the railroad can install a retaining wall and switching equipment for a control point and turnouts on City property. This improvement will assist the June 3,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 201 201 operation of the Tukwila Commuter Rail Station, and enable Sound Transit to introduce a third commuter rail train by September. Continuing,Mr. Zimmerman stated that unfortunately, Sound Transit and BNSF have a contractor under contract who is performing construction before obtaining a construction permit and acquiring the needed perpetual easement from Renton. He indicated that the delay in obtaining the permit and easement is not the City's fault or responsibility since proper project management dictates that permits and property rights be obtained before starting construction, which was not done in this case. Mr. Zimmerman explained that the administration wants to assist Sound Transit but at the same time, wants assurance that the$80 million proposed in Sound Move for Renton projects will be spent in Renton. He said that the administration has requested both a letter and a Sound Transit Board resolution committing to spending the money in Renton, if not on the direct access ramp, on other Renton-related projects. Mr. Zimmerman reported that City staff is in the process of meeting with Sound Transit in order to create a contingency plan of projects, with priority given to funding the Strander Blvd. extension project and leasing parking spaces in the Downtown Parking Garage, along with other transit oriented projects. Following discussion,Mayor Tanner confirmed that Council agreed not to grant the perpetual easement until Sound Transit agrees, via an agreement and resolution,to develop a contingency plan of Renton projects.

At its workshop held on May 17, 2002, the Committee of the Whole reviewed several options for constructing a new swimming/leisure pool to replace the Henry Moses Pool, which was closed in 1997. The Committee reviewed the 1997 recommendations of the Citizens'Pool Task Force, and considered updated cost estimates for both construction and operating costs of indoor and outdoor pools rnnr at the Cedar River Park site. The Committee of the Whole recommended that an outdoor Family Aquatic Center similar to option 3A be designed and constructed at the Cedar River Park site at a cost not to exceed$5 million, and that staff be authorized to begin the design process now. The design should incorporate the possible future enclosure of part of the Aquatics Center(the lap pool).

PUBLIC HEARING: 2002 Supplemental Funding Cycle Community Development Block Grant Capital Funds Allocation 5. APPEAL: Planning &Development Committee Report re: Reservoir Short Plat Appeal INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council,feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court,has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council,while sitting as an appellate body,is acting as a quasi-judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. .r By City Code,and by State law,the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning &Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence,and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning &Development Committee, the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However,this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick,easy,inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 6.

CARRIED. 214 June 10,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 214 APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a Planning&Development report regarding the appeal of the Reservoir Short Plat(SHP-01-169). The Committee Committee convened on May 30 and June 5, 2002, to consider the appeal of the f Appeal: Reservoir Short Plat, Hearing Examiner's decisions,dated March 5,2002, and March 21,2002 Deborah Gregor(SHP-01-169) (reconsideration denied). The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Raymond Ave. NW and S. 128th St. The proposed project will subdivide an approximately 1.2 acre parcel into seven single-family lots. It was the subject of a short plat approval in 1997. The applicant allowed the prior approval for a short plat to expire before completing the short plat process. Along with the first short plat application, the applicant obtained development permits to put in the infrastructure for the seven lots. Despite the expiration of the short plat permit, the applicant continued to install the infrastructure according to permits approved by the City. The applicant returned to the City to apply for a short plat of the same parcel,proposing the same density of seven single-family residential lots. The Hearing Examiner approved the proposed density and a neighbor has appealed. The current appellant has assigned error to two findings of the Hearing Examiner: 1) that the current application is identical to the one reviewed,and 2) the issue of density. Additionally, the appellant raised numerous questions that could be viewed more as areas of concern than assignments of error. The Committee considered the two clear assignments of error. As to the assignment of error#1,the Committee found that the proposed lot dimensions for the originally configured lots were different from the current proposed lot dimensions. The lot sizes in the current proposal are slightly larger,except in Lot#7. The Committee concluded that the Hearing Examiner's statement may not be accurate. However,the Committee did conclude that the current application is seeking the same density as the prior application and the two applications are identical in that respect. As to assignment of error#2, there is no factual dispute. The prior short plat application sought to create the same density as the current application. The Committee found that the zoning limits for that area have not changed since 1997, and that the wisdom of R-8 (Residential Single Family; eight dwelling units per acre)zoning for this specific site cannot be addressed in an appeal because there is no request for a change in zoning. However,there have been changes to the Comprehensive Plan regarding infill lots. There have been changes in the area as the applicant has proceeded on its other development permits that did not expire. There is now a half road improvement and infrastructure to support seven residential lots, all developed in accordance with the unexpired permits. During the construction of the infrastructure, the neighbors have experienced considerable difficulties with runoff from this site. There have been other negative impacts as well. Therefore,the appellant raised a question regarding follow through and oversight of the construction, specifically on erosion control. Staff reported that the staff will be doing more oversight because of the difficulties. Staff reported that runoff is being curtailed,but not eliminated. The Hearing Examiner stated that he "felt compelled to abide by the earlier City Council decision and will not review density again at this time." While the Committee found that the prior application had no binding effect on this June 10,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 215 application,the Committee also felt compelled to approve the proposed density because of the construction pursuant to the unexpired permits and the policies in our Comprehensive Plan. +i••• However, as the record reflects, there have been many problems with this project. Therefore, the Committee made clear that it is the City's intent to follow this project closely, and to use all legal means to ensure that this project is done properly. In that regard, the Committee re-stated the legal requirement that all reports and documents relating to this project are available to the appellant, any member of the neighborhood, or any member of the public. The Committee also found that Decision 10(page 12) of the Hearing Examiner's decision,relating to daily inspections for erosion control, is unclear regarding reporting. Therefore, the Hearing Examiner's decision should be modified as follows: "The project contractor shall perform daily review and maintenance of all erosion and sedimentation control measures at the site during the construction of both the off-site and on-site improvements, as well as building construction. Further, the project contractor shall provide daily reports to City staff in a format determined by City staff." The Committee recommended that the City Council uphold the decision of the Hearing Examiner except as modified herein.

CARRIED. f Police: Yakima County Jail Public Safety Committee Chair Clawson presented a report regarding the long- Service Contracts, Yakima term agreement between Yakima County for jail services and the interlocal County &King County Cities agreement between King County cities. In 2001, King County gave notice that it will be canceling its jail contracts with all King County cities,effective November 2002. With a decision to exit from the King County jail system, King County cities began last year to look for a long-term alternative to King County. Yakima County emerged as a very good alternative and, to date, has delivered outstanding services to Renton and other King County cities, who have now negotiated a long-term(seven-year)jail agreement with Yakima County. This agreement provides jail services equal to or greater than those provided by King County at significantly less fees and rates. In addition, an interlocal agreement was drafted between King County cities to efficiently use Yakima County jail beds designated for the cities. Entering into this agreement will result in up to$180,000 in savings to the City when compared with King County jail costs. The Committee recommended that Council concur in the recommendations of the administration to: • Approve a long-term(seven-year) agreement with Yakima County to secure jail bed capacity from Yakima, and • Approve an interlocal agreement between King County cities, which provides the means for the cities to more efficiently use the Yakima County jail beds designated for cities. The Committee further recommended that the resolutions regarding the interlocal agreements be presented for reading and adoption. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. (See page 223 for resolutions.) 221 June 10,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 221 Police: Staffing,Budget Majority Report: Public Safety Committee Chair Clawson presented a Adjustment for Additional majority report recommending that Council authorize the addition of three Positions positions (a Crime Analyst, an Evidence Technician, and a Patrol Officer)to the Police Department budget effective July 1, 2002, and approve an ordinance increasing the budget appropriation of$145,821 and position authorization. The Committee further recommended that the ordinance regarding this matter be presented for first reading at a subsequent Council meeting. Minority Report: Public Safety Vice Chair Parker presented a minority report recommending that Council authorize the addition of two positions (a Crime Analyst and Evidence Technician)to the Police Department budget effective July 1, 2002, and approve an ordinance increasing the budget appropriation of $65,850 and position authorization. The Committee further recommended that the ordinance regarding this matter be presented for first reading. Councilman Clawson explained that there were several positions requested in November 2001 by the Police Department: four police officers, a sergeant, a crime analyst, an evidence technician and an animal control officer. Since then, the City has added two police officers, a sergeant and an animal control officer. The administration now recommends that the technician and the analyst position be approved;however,Mr. Clawson stated that the majority of the Public Safety Committee felt that another patrol officer was necessary and should be added at this time. He detailed the reasons why an additional patrol officer is needed,pointing out that many citizens have expressed their desire for additional police coverage. Describing the duties of the evidence technician and crime analyst, Mr. Clawson said that the addition of those positions would relieve current police personnel of those duties and allow for more coordination with other jurisdictions. He concluded by saying that the City can afford to hire an additional patrol officer. Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry regarding the budget appropriation amounts for both reports,Police Chief Garry Anderson stated that the addition of the patrol officer requires one-time equipment costs for items such as a radio and patrol car. The approximate annual cost for all three positions is $200,000 for salary and benefits. Councilman Parker stated that it is important to always be conscious of the budget, and he highlighted future budget concerns such as the upcoming labor negotiations,the 1%property tax limit, and the reduction of development growth due to annexation limits. He expressed concern about committing to an ongoing expenditure like this even though the City is in an excellent financial condition. Indicating that the he would like to add additional police officers, as well as other needed City positions, Mr. Parker explained that the City has many needs and must strive to maintain a balance of service throughout the community. Continuing,Mr. Parker said that he concurred in the recommendation of the Police Chief for the addition of the crime analyst and evidence technician, saying that those positions provide support services to patrol officers thereby allowing them to spend more time in the community. Reporting that eleven full time employees have been added to the Police Department since 1999 and the 600 police response rate to priority one calls is under three minutes, Mr. Parker stated that currently, the City has an appropriate number of patrol officers. In conclusion,he requested that Council approve the minority report. 222 June 10,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 222 Councilwoman Briere spoke in favor of the majority report, saying that a large area has been annexed to the City and an additional police officer is important. She stated that if the City can pay for a swimming pool,it can find the funds to support an ongoing police position. Mayor Tanner stated his desire to give the City the police protection it needs, and pointed out that Police Chief Anderson has indicated that the analyst and technician are the positions that he needs. He expressed his concern about increasing the recurring costs of the City, saying that revenues will decrease due to the 1% property tax limit and the City's inability to annex property. Mayor Tanner concluded by voicing his support for the minority report. Councilman Persson expressed his disappointment with both reports. He said that more police officers are needed on the street and he detailed citizen complaints regarding the length of time it takes officers to respond to incidents such as residential burglaries. Stating his support for the majority report,Mr. Persson recommended setting aside$1 million of the year-end fund balance to fund these positions for five years. Councilman Corman stated that the City has a first class police force,and described the various ways in which police personnel contribute to the community. He stressed that the City's pursuit of assuring public safety is exemplary and if there are concerns about police staffing,the issue should be reviewed during the upcoming budget hearings. Mr. Corman expressed concern that due to the decreasing revenue projections,future pay increases I may be jeopardized which could influence upcoming labor negotiations and impact productivity. He suggested that a Committee report be modified to state j that the issue be handled during the course of budget negotiations. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler reviewed the issue of the swimming pool, saying that additional staff will be needed for its support and it will require City subsidization. She requested that Council keep that in mind when reviewing the police staffing issue, and stated that Council needs to be careful in the way it spends the excess funds. Ms. Keolker-Wheeler voiced her support for the majority report, and agreed with Councilman Persson's suggestion to set aside some of the ending fund balance to pay for additional staffing needs. Mayor Tanner commented that he does not have a problem with setting aside some of the excess funds to pay for staffing;however, once the funds are gone, the City cannot count on any future fund balances. Councilman Persson stated that patrol officers must be added to the Police Department in order for it to remain one of the best departments in the region. Councilman Corman stressed that he is not anti-safety. He indicated that positions have been added to the Police Department, and in regards to the swimming pool,additional staffing is expected to be supported by the pool fees. Councilman Clawson stated that it is possible to find savings somewhere within the budget to fund additional patrol officers. He stressed that funding public safety should be the City's highest priority. Councilman Parker reviewed the Police Department's statistics regarding response rates to calls, and reiterated that the Police Chief has stated that the addition of the crime analyst and evidence technician positions are his top priority. Mr. Parker also recommended that the subject of additional patrol officers be discussed during budget deliberations.

Lesley Nishihira, Senior Planner, stated that the site is located within the Employment Area Valley Comprehensive Plan land use designation and is zoned Commercial Office(CO). She reported that the LOP Environmental Impact Statement(EIS), adopted in 1995, analyzed the construction of 2.5 million square feet of office and light-industrial development as well as related support facilities to be developed over four phases. A development agreement was previously approved in 2000 for the LOP, as well as an addendum to the 1995 EIS in order to allow an additional 500,000 square feet for a total of 3 million square feet. Reviewing the four phases of development for the LOP, Ms. Nishihira pointed out that Phase IV consists of the future build out of the remaining 2.7 million square feet of capacity. Continuing,Ms. Nishihira explained that the City approved a binding site plan earlier this year which allows for subdivision of the LOP site into 35 lots as well as five utility tracts. The binding site plan allows for flexibility for future individual development proposals. She said that the purpose of the development agreement is to provide certainty over the next 20 years for the applicable development regulations and review and approval processes. Ms. Nishihira noted that it would also establish future development costs. Although the new agreement would rescind the previous development agreement, which was recorded January 4, 2001,Ms. Nishihira explained that the new agreement is essentially the same document updated to reflect the binding site plan. 210 June 24,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 240 Ms. Nishihira reported that the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA) requires development agreements to undergo environmental review; therefore, the City's Environmental Review Committee(EIS) issued an addendum to the 1995 EIS on May 14,2002.

Cities are also required to place suggested amendments on prioritized lists for annual consideration. Mr. Cerise stated that the annual process proposed by staff, which is modeled on the City's Comprehensive Plan Amendment process, adds a new City Code Section to Chapter 9,Title IV and allows for an exemption process for high priority Code amendments. Continuing,Mr. Cerise reviewed the proposed timeline for the revision process, noting that the deadline to submit amendment proposals is December 15. The following May, staff reports to Council on the proposals and Council may refer the items to the Planning Commission or to the Planning&Development Committee. He explained that the submittal requirements are simple and there is no fee required. Mr. Cerise stated that if an amendment proposal is rejected, the proponent shall be informed in writing, and the rejected proposal may not be re-submitted for a period of two years unless a compelling case for changed circumstances can be made. He also pointed out that the process allows for exemptions for high priority Code amendments. In conclusion,Mr. Cerise stated that staff recommends that Council adopt the Title IV Development Regulation Revision Process. 241 June 24,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 241 Responding to Councilman Clawson's inquiry,Mr. Cerise explained that the proposed revision process follows the same deadlines as the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process.

Mr. Zimmerman reported on the current situation which now includes three of the four bus routes,no south-side interchange, and the north-side interchange has continued to increase in cost to an estimated $160 million. Indicating that Sound Transit would like to incorporate the north-side interchange into the 1- 405 Corridor Program, he noted that funding for the 1-405 Corridor is questionable. Mr. Zimmerman stated that the tax revenue programmed for Renton projects should be used in Renton even if the interchange cannot be built; therefore, the City suggested a contingency plan be developed that lists projects eligible for funding by Sound Move. Continuing,Mr. Zimmerman said that the City has sought a commitment for a contingency plan, but so far, Sound Transit has not complied. In the meantime, Sound Transit wants the City to grant a perpetual easement on City property to BNSF for improvements which will assist in the operation of the Tukwila Community Rail Station, and enable Sound Transit to introduce a third commuter rail train. The introduction of the third train is contingent upon 242 Page 242 June 24,2002 Renton City Council Minutes g building the improvements in a timely manner and problems are expected to , arise if the easement is not acquired by July 1st. Mr. Zimmerman pointed out that Council has agreed not to grant the perpetual easement until Sound Transit agrees, via a motion of the Board,to adopt a contingency plan of Renton projects which states that money reserved for Renton projects will be spent in Renton. Mr. Zimmerman reported that recent language submitted by Sound Transit to the City does not accomplish that, and he also reported that a second perpetual easement has been requested for a piece of City of Renton right-of- way. Mayor Tanner stressed that the City wants an alternate plan for other transit supportive projects to be funded,not to be negotiated in the future. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reported that discussions with Sound Transit have resulted in a proposed Motion No. M2002-86 and letter from Board Chair Ron Sims identifying Renton projects and authorizing the development of a contingency plan;however,the documents do not commit a set amount of funding. Vernon Stoner, Sound Transit Deputy Executive Director,read portions of Ron Sim's letter and stated his hope that the proposed Motion could be put before the Sound Transit Board this Thursday for approval. Stating that Sound Transit is willing to work with the City to identify projects within the guidelines of Sound Move,Mr. Stoner acknowledged Sound Transit's commitment to spend the money in Renton. Responding to Councilman Persson's inquiry regarding when the easement request was submitted,Mr. Stoner indicated that BNSF initially worked on it and then approached Sound Transit for help in pursuing the matter with Renton. Mr. Zimmerman said the City received the BNSF request for easement in August 2001,but did not receive the required plans until two or three months ago. Mayor Tanner requested that the record show that is when he heard about it. Councilmembers Persson, Parker,Corman and Keolker-Wheeler agreed that the language in the Sound Transit documents is not clear enough and needs to be more specific before an agreement can be reached with the City. At the request of Mayor Tanner,his proposed letter addressed to Board Chair Ron Sims was read specifying which Renton projects the funding should be allocated towards. The letter also stated that once the Sound Transit Board "...signs an agreement committing Sound Transit support and funds to these suggested projects up to the amount collected from Renton taxpayers...Renton will execute a dedication of a perpetual easement, at no cost,to Sound Transit..." Councilman Persson said he agreed with the letter and suggested that language be added which states that the Board agrees not to pursue acquiring the BNSF right-of-way through Renton. Councilman Clawson also expressed his agreement with the letter but stated his opposition to adding the right-of-way language. Discussion ensued relating to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry about the honoring of commitments, the possibility of revoking the easement once granted, and Sound Move's realm of authority. Mr. Vernon expressed the desire of Sound Transit to work with the City towards obtaining an agreement. 243 June 24,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 243 MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL PRESIDENT CO-SIGN THE LETTER WITH THE MAYOR AND FORWARD IT TO SOUND TRANSIT BOARD CHAIR RON SIMS.

Ms. Natelson Farmers Market questioned the exclusion of her business (selling organic coffee beans that she roasts herself)from the market, and said that her business does fall under the "baked goods" category. Upon visiting the market, she stated that she discovered goods being sold that were comparable to hers in that some of the ingredients may not be purchased in Washington but the product is produced in Washington. She inquired as to why she was not given the same opportunity as other vendors since her business appears to fall under the same guidelines. Council President Nelson stated that Ms. Natelson asked to participate in the market about ten days before the market opened. She explained that she obtained a listing of approved market vendors from Seattle and King County, conducted a mailing to all vendors,receiving back 50 responses. An open house was conducted in May and many vendors, who had participated in other markets, signed up for the market. Ms. Nelson said that she had to limit participation in the market somehow so that it would fit in the Piazza, and indicated that she followed the Seattle Farmers Market guidelines in creating the Renton Farmers Market. Mayor Tanner stated that the market is a citizen-run operation and Council has no authority over the market. Councilman Corman pointed out that without Ms. Nelson's hard work there would be no Farmer's Market at all, and that there will be future opportunities for merchants once improvements are made to the Pavilion Building. Council President Nelson invited Ms. Natelson to further discuss the issue with the market committee. CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing.

Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry regarding the water and sewer service providers for the Sunnybrook plat,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman stated that the service boundary line of the Soos Creek Water&Sewer District and the City of Renton bisects the plat. He explained that the City would work with Soos Creek to establish which agency serves sewer and water to which lots. In regards to Ms. Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry pertaining to the Environmental Review Committee(ERC)condition concerning the redesign of the roads and utilities,Mr. Zimmerman explained that portions of the subdivision are in the vicinity of mapped coal mines and the ERC wanted to make sure that single- family residences are not located near potential coal mine hazard areas. The ERC also requested that City streets avoid these areas. He said the City has requested that the developer move and modify the location of the roads to make sure that they avoid the coal mine areas and this will result in an amendment to the plat. Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's concern regarding the plat amendment process, Senior Planner Lesley Nishihira explained that the process is reviewed at the administrative level and construction permits will not be issued until the project has undergone final review in order to confirm that it complies with the Hearing Examiner conditions. She pointed out that a minor amendment can only be applied for if the preliminary plat has been approved. Ms. Nishihira stated that parties of record will be notified of the minor amendment when it is submitted, and it is subject to a two-week appeal period.

There are three crossings on SW 7th St., one on Lind Ave. SW at SW 40th St., one on Mill Ave. S. at Houser Way S., and one on Bronson Way N. at Houser Way S. The railroad will need temporary full road closures to complete this work which will take place on seven separate(consecutive or non-consecutive)days between July 10 and September 30, 2002. The City's traffic control contractor will submit a traffic control and detour plan with required signing with a two week notice for each closure. The Committee recommended that Council concur with the seven total days of closures for replacement of existing railroad grade crossings by BNSF and adopt the resolution authorizing the temporary closures.* Stating his pleasure that these safety needs are being addressed, Councilman Persson expressed concern about the impact of the Lind Ave. SW closure on businesses such as IKEA, and indicated that City staff plans to coordinate the road closure date with IKEA. *MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.

The report was divided into 246 June 24,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 246 four sections corresponding to the groups who utilize pedestrian facilities: school children,elderly people,transit riders, and all others. Many of the projects defined in the 1991 study have been designed and constructed, some as elements of the City's newly established Neighborhood Program. At this juncture,it has been ten years since the City of Renton's last formal walkway needs analysis. As part of the City of Renton's ongoing commitment to insure that future investment continues to be both responsive to contemporary needs and it is fiscally sound, a current study is necessary.

The rating submitted by Standard&Poors remained the same. She reported that both rating agencies remarked on the excellent work the City has done by diversifying its economic base, sustaining lower utility rates, increasing all other economic indicators such as assessed valuation, and maintaining healthy reserves. Councilman Clawson commented that the City's water rates now rank in the bottom third of the Puget Sound jurisdiction. Councilman Corman stated that it is amazing to see a rating upgrade in these economic times and it is a credit to the Finance Department,Economic Development Department and the Utilities Division.

MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL ADOPT THE ORDINANCE AS READ.* Councilman Clawson conducted a presentation in support of the proposed ordinance. He stated that although Renton's population and calls for patrol officer services have increased substantially since 1999, the patrol division has increased by only one officer. He described the powers of the legislative body as defined in RCW 35A.11.020, and detailed the process by which this i ordinance came before the Council this evening. Mr. Clawson described the duties of patrol officers,pointing out that a large part of their job is responding to calls for service. He indicated that the Renton Police Department has adopted the International City Managers Association (ICMA) formula to determine the City's need for patrol officers, and according to the formula,Renton is short five officers. Speaking on the issue of school resource officers,Mr. Clawson explained why he felt they should not be counted as patrol officers in the ICMA formula,but noted that the four resource officers assigned to Renton School District schools perform a valuable service. Stating that Renton can afford another patrol officer at this time,Mr. Clawson cited the strong financial condition of the City and the projections that a budget surplus will occur for the next four years. He added that funds from other sources can be shifted to pay for the additional officer, and if the City's financial situation worsens, vacant positions that are common with normal turnover can be left vacant until revenues improve. Mr. Clawson pointed out that the average response time for priority-one calls has risen from 3.54 minutes in 1999 to 3.91 minutes in 2001, and recommended that Council not wait until response times to calls increase to totally unacceptable levels before adding patrol officers. Continuing, Councilman Clawson detailed reasons why hiring an additional patrol officer can make a difference,and acknowledged that the Renton Police Officers' Guild supports additional patrol staffing. He also reviewed reasons why a patrol officer should be hired now, including citizen support, decrease of Police Department overtime costs, ability to compete with other cities for business and quality residential and commercial development, and the maintenance of public confidence. Mr. Clawson explained why he felt the administration opposes the addition of another patrol officer and why the Council is divided on this issue. In conclusion,Mr. Clawson stated that staffing of the patrol division has not kept up with population and demand, and Council can work together with the administration to find savings and/or new revenues to pay for the officer. He encouraged Council to do the right thing for the citizens who have paid for and are entitled to the very best in police protection. Councilman Parker indicated that he disagreed with some of the points made by Mr. Clawson and felt they were incorrect,but applauded him for putting together a concise presentation. He stated that the difference in their opinions comes down to the bottom line: the dispersal of dollars—the use of one-time monies for recurring expenses. He pointed out that one of the reasons why the 249 June 24,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 249 City is in good financial shape is because in the past one-time revenues have not been used for recurring expenses. Mr. Parker also pointed out that the City has a structure in place to support department heads, such as the Police Chief, � and that they are ultimately responsible to the Mayor and Council and should not be usurped. Stating that there are a lot of needs within the City to be balanced,Mr. Parker noted that if asked, anyone would agree that more staffing is needed. He said that the staffing issue has been brought up out of context, and should be addressed during the budget deliberation process along with other issues such as labor negotiations and healthcare costs. Councilman Corman commented that Mr. Clawson has had an impact on the number of added police personnel. Mr. Corman reviewed the additional police staff added this year, and indicated that it is not clear if the addition of one patrol officer would decrease the response time. He expressed his support for public safety,and emphasized that the Police Chief did not request an officer during the 2002 budget deliberations and he defined the Council's role in the management of the City. Stating that this issue has emerged out of sequence and without the recommendation of the Police Chief,Mr. Corman questioned whether the City is going to micromanage staff or instead allow them to do their job by empowering those in management. He stated that Council should think forward with a holistic approach and address staffing in the 2003 budget process. Councilman Persson addressed the issue of response times, saying that a three minute response time to priority-one calls is a long time in a life or death situation,and the only solution to reducing the response time is to add patrol officers. He expressed his support for additional officers and commented that if LO the City wants to save money, then forego adding the crime analyst and evidence technician positions but add the patrol officer. Mr. Persson stated that if this issue should be heard in the budget process, then the pool issue should have waited also. He encouraged Councilmembers to vote for the ordinance. Councilwoman Briere stated that citizens have indicated to her that they do not feel safe,and she described crimes that have affected her family members. Emphasizing the need for increased public safety, Ms. Briere expressed her support for the additional patrol officer. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated that the City recently spent a lot of money on the Downtown Parking Garage, swimming pool and Pavilion Building. She reviewed the Mayor and Councilmember positions on the staffing issue,emphasizing that discussion on this issue is not out of context. She recognized that the City does have many needs but police staffing is the issue before the Council at this time and that department heads cannot come forward if the Mayor disapproves. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated that this should not be a battle between the Mayor and Council, or the union and the Police Chief, and she expressed her support for the ordinance and encouraged an end to the debate. Councilman Clawson also commented that discussing this issue is not out of order because Council had agreed in December 2001 to consider the issue again in 2002. He stated that more officers are needed, and if the Police Chief and Mayor do not think more are needed, they are wrong. Due to the increase in 60 population and increased calls for service, Councilman Clawson stressed that there is a clear need for more officers. -crime city,that the Councilman Corman emphasized that Renton is not a high 250 June 24,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 250 City understands the need for public safety, and that police staffing has increased. He assured citizens that Renton has an accredited police force, saying that the issue regarding police staffing will be addressed again at the upcoming budget deliberations. *MOTION: ROLL CALL: FOUR AYES: PERSSON,BRIERE,KEOLKER- WHEELER,CLAWSON;THREE NAYS: NELSON, CORMAN,PARKER. CARRIED.* (See page 251 for further discussion on the matter and page 252 for additional Council action.) Mayor Tanner entered his veto message to the City Council into the record: "After much deliberation, I am—for the first time in my six and one-half years as Mayor—exercising my authority under Title 35 of the RCW and vetoing the ordinance entitled'An ordinance of the City of Renton,Washington,adding the positions of Crime Analyst,Evidence Technician, and a commissioned officer to the Police Department, and a Secretary 1 to the Fire Department,effective July 1, 2002, and authorizing the increased Budget appropriation of$145,821."' "This ordinance would authorize four additional positions in the Budget and would authorize the use of one-time unallocated fund balance to fund the Police Department positions through the remainder of 2002. The ordinance assumes that funding for all four positions will be accommodated within the 2003 and future operating budgets. "In coming to the decision to veto this ordinance,I reviewed past Council decisions related to the 2002 Budget. I also weighed the Council's decision against what I believe to be a very sound budgeting principle I have adhered to as Mayor—not to use one-time revenues to fund recurring costs. Finally,I considered what the impact of these additional positions and their attendant costs might be on future budgets in a post I-695 and I-747 environment. "Last fall I presented a budget to the Council on the heels of the 9-11 terrorist attacks that drove this region's economy further into a recession. My budget reflected the uncertain economic times, and did not propose any new programs, staffing, or other obligations beyond the base budget. I did identify several priority areas the Council and I should address when our economic condition stabilized and showed improvement. These priorities were derived after consideration and consultation with each of my department heads, who gave me their best professional advise on what was needed. When the Council adopted the 2002 Budget on December 10,2001, then Council President Dan Clawson presented a Committee of the Whole report—which was adopted unanimously by the full Council—which largely followed my recommendations,but which did add three positions: an animal control officer,two police officer positions, and additional funds for Human Services. The report also asked for an update on the City's financial positions in early April, and asked that in July,I'present the Council with a mid-year analysis of revenues to determine if other priorities in the Police,Fire,Parks and Public Works Departments can be met.' "The administration did present an update on our financial condition in April, which showed that our financial picture had not deteriorated,but had not shown appreciable improvement either. However,because the Council had asked that —if possible—additional Police Department positions be approved, and because I believed there was enough stability in our operating revenues to fund the positions, I recommended that two of the priority positions identified in the 2002 process be added—a crime analyst and an evidence technician in the Police Department. 251 June 24,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 251 "But I cannot approve the two additional positions authorized by this ordinance. This ordinance uses one-time revenues to provide the additional funds and it does not take into account the significant budget shortfalls created by the 1% property tax limitation,the effect of the Supreme Court decision virtually eliminating annexations, the upcoming contract negotiations,the skyrocketing healthcare cost increases, and an economy that is barely meeting reduced forecasts. "I believe the most prudent course for the City at this time is for this ordinance to be vetoed, and for the Council to consider any additional positions in the context of the 2003 Budget process." (See page later this page for additional discussion regarding this topic.) NEW BUSINESS Councilman Persson thanked Glenn Reynolds for his assistance in returning Streets: Grocery Cart abandoned grocery carts to the appropriate stores. Abandonment Budget: Public Hearing Detailing the importance of receiving public input concerning the City's Budget, and suggesting that input be solicited prior to the upcoming budget deliberations, Councilman Persson suggested that a public hearing be held. Mayor Tanner agreed that any public hearings the Council would like to hold in advance of the budget process would be helpful. He added that the administration is willing to work with the Council to add needed positions that can be sustained by forecasted revenues without putting the City within the position of risk.

Police: Benefits Councilman Persson inquired as to what benefits are available to the survivors of firefighters and police officers killed in the line of duty. Mayor Tanner stated that the inquiry would be forwarded to Human Resources Administrator Mike Webby. Budget: 2002 Amendment, Moved by Persson, seconded by Clawson, Council authorize the addition of an Additional Police &Fire evidence technician to the Police Department. Department Positions Discussion ensued regarding priority between the crime analyst and evidence technician positions. Mayor Tanner expressed his desire to speak with the Police Chief before taking action on the positions. Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry regarding options available to Council now that the Mayor vetoed the staffing ordinance, Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes explained that Council could choose not to make a motion to override the veto and come forward with an independent motion,or override the veto with five affirmative votes, which is a majority of Council plus one.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Transportation: Six-Year TIP accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing (2003-2008) to consider the annual update of the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program(TIP), 2003 -2008. Transportation Systems Director Sandra Meyer stated that one of the City's biggest successes has been to serve on the Washington State Department of Transportation(WSDOT)1-405 Corridor Program Steering Committee, and she announced that the Preferred Alternative has been identified for the project. She reported that the Final Environmental Impact Statement was released today, and that the majority of the funding for the project proposed under Referendum 51 is for the I-405/SR-167 interchange. Nick Afzali,Transportation Planning&Programming Supervisor,explained the purpose of the TIP and reviewed the City's transportation goals which include developing a balanced multi-modal transportation system,maximizing the use of transit, improving freight mobility, obtaining project and program funding, and protecting the environment. He stated that transportation projects are placed in five categories within the TIP, and he detailed the transportation challenges and opportunities the City faces which include: SW 27th St./Strander Blvd.Extension,NE 3rd and 4th Streets Corridor Study, SR-169 (Maple Valley Hwy.)HOV and Queue Jump Improvements, and Duvall Ave. NE Improvements. Continuing,Mr. Afzali described the various funding sources for the transportation projects, saying that the total expenditure plan over the next six years is$102,104,799 of which$76,104,439 is unfunded and$26,000,360 is funded. He detailed the six new projects added to the TIP which are as follows: Sunset Blvd./I-405 Interchange, Grady Way Approach at Rainier Ave.,Houser Way S. —Main Ave. S. to Burnett Ave. S.,Trans Valley ITS (Intelligent Transportation System),NE 4th St./Hoquiam Ave., and Transit Center Public Safety(install video surveillance). In conclusion,Mr. Afzali reviewed the 258 July 1,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 258 projects that were or will be completed this year, which are: Oakesdale Ave. SW Phase H, Strander Blvd. Project Definition,Transit Center,Benson Rd. S. Improvements,Transit Needs Assessment,East Valley Rd. &SW 43rd St., Walkway &Curb Ramps, and NE 44th St. Interchange 30% Design. Audience comment was invited.

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 2002 and beyond. Items noted included: i * Picnic Pizzazz, a creative kids entertainment series,provides free entertainment at local parks. First in the series is Rhinestone Roper, which will be held in Liberty Park at noon on Thursday,July 1 lth. * Seattle Public Utilities has informed the City that they are moving forward with the pre-design of electrically-operated water isolation valves to be installed at the west end of Renton (such valves could be closed in case of a pipeline failure and help prevent water damage in Renton). The project will take two years, and the valves are scheduled to be installed by December 2004. However, this assumes that Seattle City Council will pass the proposed water rate increase—if not, all Seattle Capital Improvement projects will be re-evaluated, including this one. AUDIENCE COMMENT The following people spoke in support of the Whitworth Ave. S. street vacation Citizen Comment: Various— request by St. Anthony Parish(VAC-00-003): Mike Borte, 11254 SE 190th Whitworth Ave S Vacation, St. Ct., Renton, 98055; Nick Frisch, 15749 142nd Pl.

Additional comments indicated that the vacation will create a unified campus in downtown Renton which is beneficial to the City, will improve the neighborhood parking problems by removing cars from the streets,would not impact the entry and exit from the neighborhood, and would increase children's safety. Speakers also requested that Council make a decision on the matter as soon as possible. Responding to Councilman Corman's inquiry regarding the project status, Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler explained that the Planning &Development Committee is waiting for a report from staff and then will determine if the issue will remain in Planning&Development Committee or be referred to Committee of the Whole.

Removal of Item Laid on MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL SUSPEND Table at Council Meeting of THE RULES AND TAKE FROM THE TABLE RECONSIDERATION OF June 24,2002 THE ORDINANCE ADDING THE POSITIONS OF CRIME ANALYST, EVIDENCE TECHNICIAN AND A COMMISSIONED OFFICER TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT,AND A SECRETARY 1 TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT(LAID ON THE TABLE AT THE JUNE 24, 2002, COUNCIL MEETING). CARRIED. Budget: 2002 Amendment, Councilman Parker conducted a presentation,prepared with the assistance of Additional Police&Fire City staff and Councilman Corman, in support of the Public Safety Committee Department Positions minority report presented at the June 10th Council meeting,recommending that Council authorize the addition of the crime analyst and evidence technician positions to the Police Department. He explained that this issue is being discussed tonight due to the Mayor's veto of the above stated ordinance submitted at the June 24th Council meeting. Stating that five positions have been added in 2002: two police officers, two school resource officers and an animal control officer, Mr. Parker detailed the staffing history of the Police Department as well as commissioned officer growth since 1998. Mr. Parker reviewed the duties and responsibilities of the Police Chief. He stated that the remaining 2002 staffing priorities are the addition of the evidence technician and crime analyst positions, and explained why these positions are important and how they will benefit the Police Department. Mr. Parker discussed the response times for calls for police service, class one crimes, the number of officers per 1,000 of population, minimum and maximum patrol staffing, and how Renton compares with other jurisdictions in these categories. In addition,he listed the types of calls that merit an emergency or priority-one response,pointing out that emergency response calls, which are a part of priority-one calls, are responded to in less than one minute. Continuing,Mr. Parker reviewed Renton's financial situation, and noted that it is not a good time to add more positions in addition to the analyst and technician positions,due to the slowing economy and declining revenues. Stating that public safety is important,he pointed out that facilities and amenities such as the Farmers Market,Performing Arts Center, Skate Park and swimming pool all contribute towards public safety. In addition,Mr. Parker indicated that the City's budget policies which state that: ongoing operations shall be funded from ongoing revenue, operating revenue and expenditures shall be monitored and adjusted if necessary to ensure expenditures do not exceed revenues over time, and revenue shall be conservatively projected, are a guideline that the City should adhere to. 260 July 1,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 260 Mr. Parker stated that everyone agrees that public safety is the number one ongoing priority,and he reiterated that public safety is more than police on the streets; it includes developing an infrastructure than enables them to do their work. Public safety also includes code enforcement,nuisance abatement, zoning, police support staff, tools, training and technology. He commented that in this economy the City must remain true to its priorities and budget policies, and the additional police positions will strengthen the support system for the officers to help them become even more efficient and effective. In conclusion, Mr. Parker urged Council to strengthen the Police Department at its foundation and follow the recommendation of the Police Chief by adding the evidence technician and crime analyst positions. Councilman Corman emphasized that a holistic approach to public safety is important. Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's question regarding the electronic home detention program,Finance & Information Systems Administrator Victoria Runkle stated that revenue generated by the program is approximately$150,000 per year and the cost of the electronic home detention coordinator is $65,000 to$70,000 annually. Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's questions regarding the patrol officers and school resource officers,Police Chief Garry Anderson stated that eight commissioned officers had been added to the Police Department since 1998,not all of them to the patrol division. He discussed the staffing level figures and determined that there are currently 53 patrol officers assigned to the patrol operation division. Chief Anderson noted that school resource officers are assigned to administrative services and not to patrol operations. Chief Anderson explained that of the Police Department's four school resource officers, two are employed by the City of Renton and two are funded by a three- year grant from the Department of Justice(75%) and from the Renton School District(25%). Stating that the school resource officers are not restricted from responding to non-school related calls,he described the types of calls they respond to. Chief Anderson indicated that they serve a school population of approximately 13,000 students and play an important role in crime prevention. He noted that the school resource officer's calls for service are included along with patrol officer's calls for service in the International City Managers Association(ICMA)calls for service formula. In regards to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's inquiries about crime statistics and how Renton compares with other cities,Police Chief Anderson reviewed the statistics and explained that if a crime analyst were hired, that person would analyze the crime statistics to determine how present resources can be used in the most effective way possible. He said that the City would be proactive, instead of reactive, and use the information already gathered to better patrol the streets of Renton. Chief Anderson agreed that more patrol officers are needed, as well as other City positions, and stated that there is a plan in place that prioritizes the needs of the Police Department with current priority being the hiring of the evidence technician and crime analyst. Responding to Councilman Clawson's inquiry regarding the cost of a Fire Department Secretary 1 position,Ms. Runkle stated that it would cost approximately$43,000 annually, and pointed out that the cost could be 261 July 1,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 261 absorbed in 2002 through department savings; however,the position would probably need to be funded by new money in 2003. Responding to Councilman Clawson's question regarding the budget surplus forecast, Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington stated that a surplus was predicted for 2003, and budget deficits predicted for 2004, 2005 and 2006. Councilman Clawson commented that more discussion is needed regarding one- time money and why it cannot be used for essential services. Councilman Parker said that investing one-time money into capital projects does return the money to the community in some form of services. Discussion ensued regarding one-time revenues, the use of five-year averages in budget planning, and Council budget policies. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler brought up the subject of the proposed fund balance recommendations made in March and the proposal that money be borrowed to finance the Pavilion Building,Parks Maintenance Facility, Veterans Memorial Park and swimming pool resulting in debt service over a period of twenty years. She questioned why money was available to pay for debt service at that time, and now is unavailable to fund the requested positions. Council discussion ensued concerning the debt service, operational costs for the facilities, the need for a Parks Maintenance Facility, and additional funding options available to fund the requested positions. Moved by Corman, seconded by Nelson, Council call for the question on the motion to reconsider adoption of the ordinance adding the positions of Crime Analyst,Evidence Technician and a Commissioned Officer to the Police Department and a Secretary 1 to the Fire Department.* Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler suggested waiting to see if there are comments from citizens regarding staffing at the upcoming 2003 Budget public hearing scheduled for July 8th. Stating that Committee of the Whole will be presented with revenue figures for the first half of 2002 at its July 22nd meeting, Ms. Keolker-Wheeler indicated that she would also like to know how many non-school related calls the school resource officers respond to, and the costs of the four proposed positions. She recommended delaying a decision on this item until more information is provided. Council President Nelson stated that the call for the question should be enforced, and the matter should be discussed again during budget deliberations. *Motion and second withdrawn.

He stated that downtown redevelopment will be enhanced by the project,and assured everyone that this decision was not made in haste and that much citizen input was reviewed and considered. Councilman Clawson also expressed his support for the project, and noted that the street was mostly being used for Parish parking.

Sound Transit: HOV Councilman Persson relayed a conversation he had with a Sound Transit Improvement Projects, representative at a recent Eastside Transportation Partnership meeting Perpetual Easement for BNSF pertaining to the City's refusal to grant Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Railroad an easement until the City obtains an agreement from Sound Transit for the development of a contingency plan of Renton projects, and assurances that money reserved for Renton projects will be spent in Renton. He warned of potential litigation against the City by Sound Transit for failing to grant the easement. Councilman Clawson commented that Council's decision concerning the easement may have an adverse effect on other cities in the area. While generally supportive of the City's decision,Mr. Clawson stated that he does not want to alienate other jurisdictions. He indicated that funds generated for Sound Transit from various cities was apportioned throughout the region,not necessarily in the city where collected,resulting in the construction and operation of the Sounder Commuter Train, which services a number of cities. Councilman Persson pointed out that Sound Transit had two years notice that they needed to obtain the easement,but Renton was not contacted until two months before the easement was actually needed. Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer, stated that Sound Transit has made a commitment to the City and the City wants it to honor its commitment, but notes that over the years, Sound Transit has backed away from its commitment. He indicated that Council's decision to take a strong stand on behalf of the voters is important. Pointing out that it is inappropriate for Sound Transit to change its mission without any stakeholder input,Mr. Covington stressed that they should be upfront about their mission and goals. He added that while waiting for Sound Transit to make decisions on HOV direct-access improvements, the service levels have decreased and travel times have increased. Councilman Corman stated his desire for Sound Transit to discuss the easement ..w issue directly with Renton instead of through other forums. 291 July 15,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 291 AUDIENCE COMMENT Arland "Buzz"Johnson, 334 Wells Ave. S.,Renton, 98055, thanked the Citizen Comment: Johnson- Council for their action on the Whitworth Ave. S. street vacation and stated that Whitworth Ave S Vacation, St. the street closure will result in a redirection of traffic which will benefit the Anthony Church(VAC-00- neighborhood. 003) ADJOURNMENT MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL ADJOURN.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Arland "Buzz" Johnson, 334 Wells Ave. S., Apt. 221,Renton,98055, stated Citizen Comment: Johnson— that although the police are monitoring the activity in the City parking lot Spencer Court Apartments located to the north of the Spencer Court Apartment building located on Wells Alley, City Parking Lot Noise Ave. S.,problems with noise,especially on Friday nights,continue to occur. (Wells Ave S) He suggested that the City seek a long-term solution to the problem such as adopting noise or no-loitering ordinances, or closing the parking lot from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. In regards to the early-morning noise generated by the fans used by Service Linen Supply located to the south of the apartment building, Mr. Johnson reported that Service Linen agreed to start their fans later in the morning. Mr. Johnson also expressed his concern about the alley located behind the Spencer Court Apartment building, saying that there are plans to resurface it and to install speed bumps which may cause difficulty for the residents. He also noted that residents must cross the alley when they exit through the rear of the apartment building to get to their parking lot. Mr. Johnson recommended that the alley be closed off or rerouted. Council President Nelson noted that unfortunately,the Spencer Court Apartment building was built in a noisy area. Councilmembers questioned whether the alley was public or private property, and Mayor Tanner asked 3©l August 5,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 307 Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman to investigate the matter.

MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Transportation (Aviation) Transportation(Aviation) Committee Member Keolker-Wheeler presented a Committee report regarding the Strander Blvd./SW 27th St. Connection project. In 1994, Transportation: Strander the City and the Washington State Department of Transportation(WSDOT) Blvd/SW 27th St Connection, signed a local agency agreement authorizing the City to receive $344,000 in WSDOT Grant, CAG-94-054 Federal funds (Resolution No. 3052). In 1999, the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) awarded an additional$746,000 in Federal funds for this project. However,due to funding circumstances,PSRC is not able to obligate funding until the new Federal Transportation Act is passed. The City is requesting Advanced Construction. When the new Transportation Act is passed, if it allows Advance Construction funding,the City will receive $746,000. Per the WSDOT agreement form, there is no guarantee of reimbursement. It depends on approval of TEA-21 funding in the next Federal Transportation Act. However,the Administration is confident that funding will be approved. The Committee recommended Council approve the resolution and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into the local agency agreement supplement and any subsequent agreements for preliminary engineering funding for the i Strander Blvd./SW 27th St. Connection(CAG-94-054). Matching funding in the amount of$116,428 will come from the SR-167 UC/SW 27th St./Strander Blvd. Corridor Project#7, in the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program(TIP) 2003-2008. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. (See page 313 for resolution.) Transportation: Traffic Transportation (Aviation) Committee Member Keolker-Wheeler presented a Calming report regarding the traffic calming menu of options. The Committee reviewed the proposed traffic calming menu of options and process. The menu of options consists of a two-tiered approach. Tier 1 are removable or passive measures, and Tier 2 are permanent or active measures. Passive measures, such as reader boards, signage and channelization,require minimal investment and can literally be removed. Active or permanent measures require construction and cannot be easily removed. Tier 1 measures should be implemented first,and if they do not work, turn to the more permanent Tier 2 measures. The Transportation Division will receive requests for traffic calming from neighborhoods and citizens. Because these measures affect an area,requests should come from a neighborhood or homeowners association. This assures area-wide support for implementing a traffic calming measure. If the issue cannot be resolved with the Tier 1 measure,the Transportation Division will evaluate the issue, identify Tier 2 options that are appropriate for that situation, and work with the neighborhood to determine which of the appropriate options they prefer. f � This recommended process is similar to traffic calming programs in other cities. Judging from their experiences,traffic calming could be an expensive program both in terms of manpower and materials and construction. If it is determined that this new program will require dedicated funding or additional staff SIS August 5,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 310 resources for effective implementation,options will be brought back in the coming months for consideration by Council. The Transportation Committee recommended that the Council authorize the Mayor to implement the traffic calming process and menu of options. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler thanked City staff for their work on this project, and stated that these traffic calming options offer new opportunities for assistance with neighborhood traffic problems. Community Services Community Services Committee Vice Chair Clawson presented a report Committee regarding the Maplewood Treatment Facility site design at the Maplewood Golf Community Services: Course. The Committee recommended concurrence in the staff Maplewood Golf Course recommendation for the golf course to pay for the redesign fees to locate the Water Treatment Facility water utility treatment facility adjacent to the east side of the driving range for Redesign an amount not to exceed$50,000; allocate an additional$20,000 for the netting design associated with the 52-stall parking addition; and allocate$10,000 for golf course architect project coordination, meetings, and plan and specification review. The total cost in the amount of$80,000 will be funded from the golf course un-designated fund balance. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED f BY PARKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Human Services: 2003 CDBG Community Services Committee Vice Chair Clawson presented a report Funds Allocation recommending concurrence in the staff recommendation that the 2003 Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)estimated allocation of $388,179 be distributed according to the Human Services Advisory Committee recommendations as follows: CDBG PUBLIC SERVICES Communities in Schools of Renton $13,000 Community Health Centers of King County $13,000 E1derHealth NW/Connection $9,000 Emergency Feeding Program $12,000 Visiting Nurse Services of the Northwest $7,200 Domestic Abuse Women's Network $10,049 Total $64,249 CDBG CAPITAL REQUESTS City of Renton Minor Housing Repair $185,000 Children's Therapy Center $45,000 King County Housing Repair Program $50,000 Friends of Youth/Griffin Home $43,930 Total $323,930 The Community Services Committee also recommended adoption of the Contingency Plan for 2003 CDBG funding as adopted by the Human Services Advisory Committee should amounts available for 2003 programs increase or decrease. Should there be an increase or decrease in CDBG public services funding, it is recommended that any increase or decrease in funding be applied proportionately based on the project's percentage of the total CDBG public services allocation. If there is an increase in CDBG capital funding, it is recommended that all projects, with the exception of the King County Housing Repair Program,be JfI August 5,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 311 increased proportionately. To determine the proportional amount of the increase,the percentage calculations shall not include the amount allocated to the King County Housing Repair Program. If there is a decrease in CDBG capital funding,it is recommended that any decrease be applied proportionately to all projects with the exception of the City of Renton Minor Housing Repair Program. To determine the proportional amount of the decrease, the percentage calculations shall not include the amount allocated to the City of Renton Minor Housing Repair Program. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* A letter from Councilman Persson was read into the record regarding the CDBG fund allocation to the Griffin Home as he was unable to attend the Council meeting. In his letter,Mr. Persson expressed his concern about the potential expansion of the Griffin Home past the current 24 residents. He stated that although he is not against the current plan to expand and provide services for a total population of 24 residents,providing funding for the Griffin Home may indicate that the City is endorsing the facility and its services, and this endorsement could be used to raise money for expanding the home and the number of offenders served at that location. He stated that the City needs assurance that the facility will not expand in the future to house more residents. Mr. Persson requested that Council consider holding this issue until his return so he can participate in the discussion. Councilman Clawson explained that approval of the funding is needed in order for the Griffin Home to obtain matching funds from another source, and he Low pointed out that the issue had already been delayed a few weeks and further delay may harm the Griffin Home in obtaining matching funding. Mr. Clawson stated that a Griffin Home representative did meet with the Corrunittee to address concerns about the project, and he recommended going forward with the Committee report. Development Services Director Neil Watts confirmed that the Griffin Home is comprised of 13 separate platted parcels, but explained that expansion of the existing buildings would require a conditional use permit. Potentially, a smaller group home could be built on one of the parcels that is not already encroached upon by the existing buildings without a conditional use permit. Mr. Watts stated that the Griffin Home plans to construct two group homes for six occupants each, and will reduce the number of occupants in the existing buildings. He noted that the Griffin Home intends to remain at 24 residents. Councilman Parker indicated that although he understands Councilman Persson's concerns, this is not the proper venue for discussion of density and development matters. *MOTION CARRIED. Council discussion ensued regarding the Griffin Home and the service it provides. Human Services: 2003 General Community Services Committee Vice Chair Clawson presented a report Fund Allocations recommending concurrence in the staff recommendation that the 2003 General Fund allocation of$228,300 be distributed according to the Human Services Advisory Committee recommendations as follows: August 5,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 312 Catholic Community Services-Volunteer Chore Services $5,000 Catholic Community Services-Emergency Assistance $10,000 Catholic Community Services-Katherine's House $4,000 Child Care Resources-Child Care Referrals $7,500 Children's Therapy Center $2,500 Community Health Centers of King County-Primary Medical Care $24,000 Crisis Clinic-Phone Services $3,300 Crisis Clinic-TEEN LINK $1,000 King County Sexual Assault Resource Center $30,000 Multi-Service Center-Transitional Housing for Homeless Families $2,000 Pregnancy Aid of Kent-Transitional Housing for Pregnant Women $1,000 Renton Area Youth&Family Services-Drug,Family Counseling $57,000 Renton Clothes Bank-Clothes Bank $8,000 Renton Technical College-Even Start/Early Childhood Program $10,000 Senior Services-Meals on Wheels $6,000 Senior Services-Volunteer Transportation Services $6,000 Ukrainian Community Center of WA $5,000 Way Back Inn-Transitional Housing for Homeless Families $10,000 YWCA-Emergency Housing for Homeless Families $5,000 YWCA-Domestic Violence Community Advocate $23,000 Friends of Youth/Griffin Home-Construction of two new foster homes $3,000 King County Coalition Against Domestic Violence $5,000 Total $228,300 The Community Services Committee also recommended adoption of the Contingency Plan for the 2003 General Fund as adopted by the Human Services Advisory Committee should the amount of funding increase. Should the amount available for allocation to human services increase for 2003,it is recommended that Metropolitan Images/Renton Youth Day be funded in the amount of$2,500. This funding will be contingent upon Metropolitan Images submitting budget and performance measures that are accurate, and agreeable to the Human Services Advisory Committee or Human Services staff. If additional funding is available, it is recommended that the Multi-Service Center's Energy Crisis Intervention Program be funded to a maximum of $5,000. The amount of the allocation will be affirmed during the 2003 Budget process. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Responding to Council inquiry regarding the Griffin Home funding,Human Services Manager Karen Bergsvik stated that the Griffin Home has submitted one application for the General Fund and one for CDBG funding. She explained they had requested General Fund funding in April because they needed a local community match in order to obtain Housing Opportunity funds in the amount of$330,000. At that time, Council requested that they use the existing General Fund process. Stating that the Griffin Home needs the local funding commitment in 2002 even though they are applying for 2003 funds, Ms. Bergsvik noted that the allocation of$3,000 from the General Fund is for the local match. *MOTION CARRIED. Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry regarding the decrease in funding for the Way Back Inn,Ms. Bergsvik explained that since the Way Back Inn is able to obtain funds through other sources, the Human .313 August 5,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 313 Services Advisory Committee decided to fund some new programs that do not have any other funding sources.

In conclusion,Mr. Tiernan stated that the festival received four awards from the Washington Festival and Events Association, and he announced that volunteer stage announcer Jeff Lukins was the recipient of the Outstanding Service Award. Finance: Mid-Year Financial Victoria Runkle,Finance and Information Services Administrator,presented an Report overview of the 2002 Mid-Year Financial Report which provides a comparison of the 2002 Budget to actual revenues through June 30th. Ms.Runkle reviewed the revenue sources within the General Fund and highlighted the following: property tax and utility tax receipts are as expected, sales tax receipts are approximately$600,000 short of expectations, and fees received from building activity are higher than expected. She also reviewed revenues received from the different types of sales and noted that in every category except auto sales, 31� August 12,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 319 sales receipts were lower than last year, and she stated that the largest area of concern was the decrease in sales tax from telecommunication companies. Continuing,Ms. Runkle reviewed other funds and noted that real estate excise tax collections were better than expected, pointing out that 598 homes have been sold in the first six months of 2002 which is 100 more than in the first six months of 2001. The median home value has increased from$204,000 in June 2001 to$220,000 in June 2002. She also reported that impact fees are higher than anticipated,utility rate revenue is lower than budgeted, and expenditures are under budgeted levels. In addition,Ms. Runkle noted that the Maplewood Golf Course activity has picked up this summer after a rough start this year due to a wet spring. Regarding investment interest,Ms. Runkle expressed her concern that not enough interest is being earned due to the low interest rates. She indicated that the current economic climate, which allows the City to sell its debt at good rates,has another side in that the City is unable to earn enough interest on its own investments. In conclusion,Ms. Runkle stated that the building activity in Renton remains healthy, and some unanticipated revenue is expected from Circue Du Soleil. On the down side,employment is decreasing, sales tax revenue is lower than expected, and the interest earned on investments continues to be low. Ms. Runkle indicated that she expects the City to have a budget surplus this year, but not at the same level the City has experienced in the past. Responding to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry regarding Circue Du Soleil revenue,Ms. Runkle stated that she anticipates revenue in the amount of $375,000. In regards to Ms. Keolker-Wheeler's question concerning the interest rate expected from the City's investment in Certificates of Deposit,Ms.Runkle indicated that the interest rate will range from three to four percent. Responding to Councilmember Clawson's inquiries,Ms. Runkle said that although the City has more money to invest,the interest rates are significantly lower. In response to his question regarding real estate tax collections, she indicated that the City anticipates receiving the same amount in the second half of 2002 as received in the first six months. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler thanked staff for their preparation of the 2002 Mid-Year Capital Improvement Report, which contains information regarding individual projects and the amounts spent to date on each 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 2002 and beyond. Items noted included: • As part of an ongoing community effort to help the City's residents learn to speak and read English, the Renton Public Library has expanded and upgraded its Learn to Speak English collection. • Olympic Pipeline Company will temporarily shutdown the 20-inch Allen to Renton petroleum pipeline for four days starting August 15th so that the company can conduct routine maintenance on the line. AUDIENCE COMMENT Ralph Evans, 3306 NE 1 lth Pl.,Renton, 98056,reported that several years ago Citizen Comment: Evans— a committee, consisting of property owners,the airport manager, and seaplane Seaplane Noise operator representatives, was formed to address concerns regarding seaplane noise and wake action and a compromise was reached; however, he pointed out 32U August 12,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 320 that the problems created by seaplanes have increased this year. He suggested that the increase may stem from 1) the new airport manager not being aware of past problems, and 2)reconstruction of the seaplane dock. Mr.Evans described VA two occasions when seaplanes started their takeoff within 100 yards of the dock, and asked for the City's help in reducing the problems associated with seaplanes. Mayor Tanner recommended reconvening the committee and discussing the issue with the seaplane operators. He stated that the City of Renton has no authority over the matter,explaining that the Coast Guard has authority over navigable water, and the Federal Aviation Administration has jurisdiction in air space. He added that the most Renton can do is to try to improve the situation through volunteer means. CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing.

Ms.Brewer noted that all delegates paid their own trip expenses. Council: Referendum 51 Sandra Meyer,Transportation Systems Director, gave an overview of (Statewide Ten-Year Referendum 51,the statewide ten-year transportation funding plan that will go Transportation Funding Plan) before voters on the November ballot. Stating that Referendum 51 is projected to raise$7.7 billion in new transportation funding, she reviewed the major highway investments project list which includes $1.77 billion for I-405 improvements from Tukwila to Lynnwood. She reviewed the local government funding portion of transportation funding plan which amounts to$446 million, and highlighted the revenue sources for the plan which include increasing the gas tax,authorizing a State sales and use tax on new and used motor vehicles, increasing weight fees, and authorizing gas tax and general obligation bonds. Continuing,Ms. Meyer listed the following guiding principles for implementation of the major projects: address the worst first, build to the vision,keep projects moving,balance the investments, and leave the environment better than it was found. She concluded by describing the proposed I-405 Corridor projects and the impact of the improvements on the City of Renton. Ms. Meyer introduced Kim Henry from Washington State Department of Transportation(WSDOT), and explained that the City invited both a proponent and an opponent of Referendum 51 to make five-minute presentations of their position before the Council this evening. Peter Hurley from Transportation 32I August 19,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 327 Choices Coalition presented the "con" argument, and King County Councilman Rob McKenna presented the "pro" argument. Councilman Clawson inquired if the I-405 projects proposed by the referendum coordinate with the current I-405/SR-167 grade separation ramp construction project. Mr. Henry stated that unfortunately there is no way to incorporate them with the current project; however, he noted that the through cost benefit analysis, it was determined that the current project will pay for itself in one year and will be in place for five years or longer depending on future 1-405 improvements funding. Mr. Hurley stated that Referendum 51 would move Washington State backwards, and he supplied three reasons why people should vote no. First reason: Referendum 51 is poorly planned and fiscally irresponsible. He equated the proposed transportation funding to a down payment, saying that it will take 96 years and nine future tax increases to complete the proposed mega- projects. Second reason: Referendum 51 contains the wrong priorities and neglects safety and maintenance,particularly related to seismic issues. Continuing with his third reason,Mr. Hurley stated that Referendum 51 is the wrong way to solve traffic problems,explaining that the State cannot build its way out of congestion. Noting that little money has been proposed for transit, he stressed that adding more lanes leads to more traffic, and encourages more driving and more sprawl. In conclusion,Mr.Hurley suggested a positive alternative to Referendum 51 that will: prioritize safety and maintenance as number one, add and expand choices like mass transit, invest in smart roads, and change the WSDOT to focus on moving more people and more freight,not just more vehicles. Councilman McKenna acknowledged that Renton sits at the center of some of the most significant transportation corridors in Central Puget Sound, if not the State of Washington. He reported that the State has consistently underinvested in its transportation system for the last 20 to 30 years, and transportation funding has relied mostly on a gas tax that has not kept up with inflation. Stating that while other areas of the State's infrastructure are maintained such as the supply of electricity, and the supply and treatment of water,he noted that the same has not been achieved with transportation. Continuing,Mr. McKenna stated that Referendum 51 is not the whole answer, but it is a good start. It provides money for some of the most pressing transportation problems in King County such as the I-405 Corridor,particularly the rebuilding of the I-405/SR-167 interchange. The referendum also pays for a number of critical traffic safety improvements, and without an increase in the gas tax,the State will inevitably have to start cutting into its maintenance and operation budget. Councilman McKenna indicated that the referendum will not solve traffic congestion but will put a dent in it. King County citizens especially will see measurable benefits if Referendum 51 is approved, and the referendum includes accountability through quarterly audits which will be reported to taxpayers. He stated that even though this plan provides only a portion of the $34 billion needed for the large transportation projects, it is a good start. He concluded by saying that even if only a portion of the projects are completed, enormous benefits can be achieved. :QLD August 19,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 328 In response to Councilman Clawson's inquiry as to what happens if the money runs out after a project is started, Councilman McKenna used I-405 as an i example,explaining that the improvements to 1-405 is not one large project but rather a series of approximately 130 different projects. Local officials, along with WSDOT, are in the process of identifying which projects within the I-405 corridor can be completed with the proposed funding. In rebuttal,Mr. Hurley stated that although he agrees that some of the I-405 projects would be completed, he pointed out that some I-405 projects entail adding additional lanes which will then have to merge down to the existing I- 405 lanes. The additional lanes will create bottlenecks, and if funds run short, that situation will be exasperated. He stated that the completion of only portions of the I-405 projects will result in even worse traffic over the next ten years. In rebuttal,Mr. McKenna stated that the calculated timesavings from completing Referendum 51-funded projects takes into account just those parts of projects being completed. He explained that the additional lanes will drop off at major intersections, and noted that the State has determined that traffic congestion will be reduced even if only some of the projects are completed. In response to Council inquiry,Mr. McKenna said that if voters also approve the Regional Transportation Plan, the entire set of projects from both plans could be completed within ten to fifteen years. Reporting on the status of the Regional Transportation Plan,he said that the Executive Board is aiming towards a May 2003 election date for a vote on the regional package. In response to Mayor Tanner's question whether there is any level of funding he supports,Mr. Hurley stated that he did support a past legislation package in the amount of$6 billion that proposed funding for various highway projects, safety and maintenance, and a range of transit options. He explained that a package of recommended investments in the$6 to$7 million range will be released in September, and noted that the revenue sources for this alternative package would be similar to Referendum 51 revenue sources. Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry,Mr.Hurley stated his support for the addition of two lanes on 1-405,rather than the addition of six lanes which will result in more cars and less transit usage. At the request of Ms. Keolker-Wheeler,Mr. Hurley listed some of the groups that oppose Referendum 51, and he agreed to forward the entire list to the Council. Police: Volunteer Recognition Chief of Police Garry Anderson and Community Program Coordinator Terri Vickers announced that Betty Kirkland was chosen as the Police Department Volunteer of the 2nd Quarter 2002. Chief Anderson praised Ms. Kirkland for her 533 hours of volunteer service in the records division and as an administrative receptionist. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Budget: 2003 Annual City of accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Renton to consider the 2003 Annual City of Renton Budget. Public comment was invited. ' Mary Ellen Stone,PO Box 300,Renton,98057,representing the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center, urged Council to increase funding for human services, saying that the need for such services continues to escalate. She L� August 19,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 329 pointed out that the maintenance of a good human services system that grows and responds to people's needs as they change is essential. Arland "Buzz" Johnson, 334 Wells Ave. S.,#221,Renton, 98055,praised Renton for its many assets including the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train. Mr. Johnson expressed his admiration for the landscaping at the train station and suggested that the landscaping at Tonkins Park, located near the station on Williams Ave. S.,could be improved with the addition of a flagpole and the planting of flowers. He also suggested that the City improve the appearance of Houser Way S. by widening the sidewalks,removing dead trees, and planting flowering trees. Karen Zammit,no address given,relayed statistics regarding the annual income needed to sustain a single parent with two children, and noted that 37% of Renton residents earned less than that. She pointed out that due to the poor economy and the cancellation of the King County childcare program,there is a higher demand for human services, especially for assistance with childcare. Ms. Zammit encouraged Renton to make child and youth care a priority and include a statement as such in its Comprehensive Plan. She asked the City to use its budget surplus to fund a pilot subsidy childcare program for families who do not qualify for State subsidies, and recommended coordinating with the cities of Bellevue and Seattle who have childcare programs. If the pilot program is successful,Ms. Zammit asked that the City commit to including the program in its budget. Kim Browne, 1003 N. 28th Pl.,Renton,98056,thanked the City for its support of the Neighborhood Grant Program and encouraged the continued support of low the program. She described how the Kennydale neighborhood has benefited from the funding and praised the neighborhood picnic program. In addition, Ms. Browne described how Kennydale Beach Park, located on Lake Washington Blvd. N., was transformed into a beautiful view area with benches and landscaping, and she invited everyone to attend the park's dedication ceremony on September 6th at 7:30 p.m. Captain Christine Giffey-Brohaugh,The Salvation Army,2230 NE 27th St., Renton, 98055, stated that the demand for food from The Salvation Army food bank has increased 16% since 2001. This translates to an additional 144 families receiving food each month. In order to meet the needs of the hungry at-risk families in Renton, she asked for funding in the amount of$23,300 which will be used to extend the hours of operation,improve the quality of the food baskets, and provide half the salary for an additional staff position. Debra Fullerton,no address given,described circumstances which led up to her being homeless because she could not afford childcare and was not able to get assistance with childcare due to her income level. She stressed the importance and need for childcare funding assistance saying that many parents fall through the cracks, and asked the City to consider instituting a childcare pilot program as suggested by a previous speaker. Kathleen and Darian Mitchell, 2020 Grant Ave. S.,Renton, 98055, asked for the City's help in funding childcare. Ms. Mitchell stated that paying for childcare is especially difficult during the summer months, and fortunately they were able to obtain childcare assistance from the YMCA this summer. She pointed out that even though she and her husband both have full-time jobs, they cannot afford childcare. August 19,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 330 Jennifer Summers,no address given,expressed her support for a childcare assistance program and stated that even though she was employed full-time, she was unable to afford childcare and did not qualify for assistance. An electronic letter was read from Tim&Paige McGrath, 900 N. 34th St., Renton, 98056,requesting the continued funding of the Neighborhood Grant Program, and recommending that the City consider expanding the planned Kennydale Fire Station to include a library branch and police annex. An electronic letter was read from Paige McGrath, 900 N. 34th St.,Renton, 98056, asking Council to consider the following: the allocation of more funds to the library and the sidewalk program, and the continuation of funding to the Neighborhood Grant Program. A letter was read from the City of Renton Library Board requesting the addition of a part-time Library Assistant I position to the Renton Public Library in order to maintain an adequate level of customer service, as the library workload continues to grow and regular staff has not been added since 1970. A letter was read from Richard Brooks,Executive Director of Renton Area Youth&Family Services (RAYS), 1025 S. 3rd St., Suite B,Renton, 98055, asking that Council increase the General Fund funding awarded to RAYS for 2003 in the amount of$57,000 to the level of the 2002 General Fund award in the amount of$60,000. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. Ono 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 2002 and beyond. Items noted included: • Last weekend at Cedar River Park,Renton hosted a men's Lacrosse tournament with teams participating from Canada and America. • As part of the new Outdoor Adventures programming for special populations,participants in Renton's special needs program enjoyed a day of sea kayaking last week.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Eugene Burwell,Renton Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors Chairman, Citizen Comment: Burwell- 10302 SE 186th St.,Renton, 98055, stated his support for Referendum 51, Referendum 51 (Statewide stressing that if goods and services cannot be efficiently transported,the State's Ten-Year Transportation economy will suffer. He urged the Council to support the referendum. Funding Plan) Citizen Comment: Chase- Sandy Chase, 853 Aberdeen Ave. NE,Renton,98056,expressed her concern Highlands Neighborhood about the safety of children in public recreation facilities such as the Highlands Center Child Safety Neighborhood Center. She described an incident that occurred where a man seemed to show unusual interest in two children while they were at the center. She reported that City staff did talk with the children about the man, and when the children left the center and the man followed them, staff called the police. Ms. Chase questioned why staff did not separate the children from the man. She also questioned why the staff names were crossed out on the police report. August 19,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 331 Mayor Tanner stated that if a child is being harmed, he would assume that anyone that was around would come to the child's aid. City staff cannot interfere if someone is just talking to a child, and calling the police when the man was seen following the children out of the building was the correct course of action. Councilman Corman clarified that the Highlands Neighborhood Center does not provide scheduled classes or childcare, and it is expected that children play there under the supervision of parents. He stated that the center is not set up to provide that level of supervision, and there may be an assumption by the community that it is. Council Corman pointed out that people may mistake the level of supervision at the Highlands Neighborhood Center to be similar to that of a school. In response to Council inquiry,Ms. Chase stated that the children were ages nine and ten. She reiterated her belief that staff should have pulled the children away from a potentially dangerous situation. Police Chief Garry Anderson commented on the crossing out of the staff names on the police report, saying that unless the Police Department is given specific permission to release personal information it is crossed out. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington stated that the Highlands Community Center is not a day care center and people should not expect that type of supervision.

The letter prompted her to inquiry if the post office located in downtown Renton will be closing. Stating that he has not been notified of any post office closures,Mayor Tanner pointed out that the Federal government is required to notify him of any plans to close postal service facilities. King County: Renton District Expressing her concerns regarding the proposed closure of King County's Court Closure Federal Way and Renton district courts and the impact of the closures on Renton citizens, Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler questioned what King County's plans are for the Renton District Court building located on NE 2nd St. She also noted that the Renton District Court provides passport services, and she requested that the City of Renton consider providing that service,pointing out that it may produce revenue for the City. Mayor Tanner stated that he would investigate the matter but doubted that the City would receive much revenue from offering passport services. Regarding another potential revenue opportunity for the City,Mayor Tanner reported that staff is pursuing an agreement with the Washington State Patrol for the filing of their tickets with the Renton Municipal Court, as they currently file their tickets with the Renton District Court. Stating that King County district courts are backed up, deadlines are not being met, and court clerks are being laid off, Councilman Clawson stressed the critical nature of the situation. Mayor Tanner advised that a letter could be written to the King County Council expressing the City's concerns regarding the closures. Agreeing that the impact of the King County district court closures on citizens a . is significant, Councilman Parker suggested that the Administration write a letter after careful review of the matter. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler commented that King County needs to examine the entire court system,rather than trying to address their revenue problems by cutting costs piece by piece, and she recommended bringing that point to King County's attention. � 11LL s September 9,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 347 Councilman Corman stated his support for sending a letter to the King County Council after the Administration does more research, and pointed out that the more difficult it is to set a court date,the more plea-bargaining that occurs, and citizens are not in favor of that.

MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY PARKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION AS READ. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: Secure Community accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Transition Facilities(for Level to consider the regulation of Secure Community Transition Facilities (SCTF) III Sex Offenders) land uses which are facilities for Level III sex offenders. Rebecca Lind,Planner Manager,described the facilities as small secure residential treatment facilities of three to twelve beds for on-site treatment and transition of sex offenders to community-based housing. The facilities allow visitation and escorts are required for residents when they leave the facility. She stated that the facilities will house the highest level of sex offenders,Level III, who are currently incarcerated on McNeil Island. The offenders have completed their required sentences and have been deemed "likely to re-offend." Ms. Lind explained that because of a federal court ruling, the State is required Via to create a "less restrictive living alternative" for offenders that have served their sentences but still require treatment before they can be released. In response to the ruling,the State adopted legislation requiring the siting of SCTF in local communities, and King County must accept its fait share of offenders which is projected by the State Department of Social and Health Services I 353 September 16,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 353 i (DSHS)to be five to fifteen. The State requires that counties and cities adopt zoning regulations and establish siting and operational criteria by October 1, 2002, and jurisdictions that fail to enact zoning face preemption by the State for the siting of the facilities. Continuing,Ms. Lind explained that preemption means the State may select a site and build the SCTF regardless of local codes and regulations; however,the 1 sites must meet legislative criteria, and there are a number of potential sites throughout Renton. She stated that the City can choose either preemption or the adoption of zoning regulations,both of which result in the potential siting of the SCTF. Ms.Lind reviewed the State preemption process and siting ry requirements, noting that sites cannot be located adjacent to or within the "line of sight" of"risk potential activities" such as existing schools and recreation centers. Ms. Lind explained that if the City adopts zoning to control the site location, the City would apply the State criteria to limited locations within the City. She stated that the zoning regulations that staff proposes would allow the facilities in the IM(Medium Industrial)and IH(Heavy Industrial)zones in the Employment Area Valley land use designation south of 1-405, and would establish Conditional Use Permit review criteria. She noted that the review x criteria would address the siting of the facility and not whether the facility would be sited. In addition, staff is proposing that the facility be limited to six beds, and not be within 330 feet of residential zones or within one mile of existing similar facilities. Continuing, Ms. Lind reviewed the reasons why staff is proposing a six-bed facility, and stated that that DSHS has reviewed the City's proposal and recommends reconsideration of the six bed limit so that there is an option to expand to twelve beds. Stating that the proposed regulations allow for six beds, and an expansion would be considered a new application, she noted that DSHS considers that restrictive and not in compliance with State legislation. Ms.Lind stated that it is unclear if specifying the six-bed limit would trigger the State to preempt the City's zoning regulations in their entirety. Ms. Lind concluded by saying staff recommends that the City enact the zoning regulations. Reviewing the next steps in the process,Ms. Lind indicated that the matter will be discussed by the Planning &Development Committee on September 19th, and the Cominittee will recommend action to Council at the September 23rd Council meeting. Public comment was invited. Allen Ziegler,DSHS Special Commitment Center Community Programs Manager,PO Box 45322, Olympia, 98504, expressed his concern regarding the maximum number of resident beds allowed in the zoning regulations proposed by the City. Stating that although DSHS currently does not know how many beds would be built at any one SCTF location,he indicated that an option proposed to the Governor by DSHS is to site a twelve-bed facility designed as two six-bed buildings on one site, with the construction of the second six-bed building when needed. Mr. Ziegler stated that DSHS has no objections if the City's intent is to allow a six-bed facility with the possibility of expansion to twelve beds; however, DSHS has objections if the intent is to limit the size of the facility to no more than six beds. He also stated that DSHS has no objections to the proposed September 16,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 354 regulations pertaining to the separation of sites from residential zones and the one-mile separation from other similar facilities. Mr. Ziegler concluded by thanking Council and City staff for their work on this matter. Arland "Buzz" Johnson, 334 Wells Ave. S.,#221,Renton, 98055,commented that it is strange that the State may site a twelve-bed facility in Renton, since Renton has only a small portion of the total population of King County. He agreed with the City's proposal to site the facility in an industrial zone, away from residential areas. Mayor Tanner pointed out that Renton is not volunteering to site the facility, but is proposing zoning regulations to prevent preemption by the State. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated that facilities will be sited all over the State, and emphasized that at this time, the State is not proposing a facility in Renton. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. For the record, Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler asked what the process is if the State should decide to challenge or preempt a portion of the City's zoning regulations if the facility is sited in Renton. Stating that DSHS is still working its way through this process which continues to evolve, Mr. Ziegler emphasized that preemption is not a course DSHS wants to take and would rather work with the jurisdiction. Mr. Ziegler expressed his doubt that DSHS would preempt the zoning regulations in their entirety rather than just those portions DSHS disagrees with. Responding to Mayor Tanner's inquiry regarding whether preemption is a judicial process,Mr. Ziegler said that the State does have the authority for preemption and does not need to go through the courts. In response to Council inquiry,Mr. Ziegler stated that DSHS would take into consideration the number of offenders already confined in a local jurisdiction. Regarding the security of the facilities,he described the measures that will be taken which include: staff training; a mostly one-to-one, staff-to-resident ratio; an escort whenever the resident is out in the community; and the use of monitoring devices. Councilman Parker commented that this matter has been studied in depth by the Planning &Development Committee, and pointed out that the federal government is requiring states to site these facilities and in turn,the State is requiring local jurisdictions to do the same. By enacting zoning regulations, Mr. Parker indicated that the City is accommodating the requirements while still maintaining some control in the matter. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler expressed her concerns regarding the Conditional Use Permit process, and the Council's role as an appellate body if the State's authority prevails. She encouraged citizens to submit comments on this topic prior to the Planning&Development Committee meeting on September 19th, and expressed her appreciation to State Senator Jim Horn for attending the Council meeting, and to City staff, the Planning Commission, and DSHS representatives for their work on this matter. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington, reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work a i September 16,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 355 programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2002 and beyond. Items noted included: � In order to better understand citizen perception of and satisfaction with City services,the City of Renton recently hired Elway Research, a professional survey research firm,to conduct a public opinion telephone survey of 400 randomly selected Renton households. Results of the survey will allow the City to assess the gap between the importance citizens attach to a service and their evaluation of the City's performance in that area, and the importance and priority of spending tax dollars on specific services. The Men's Fall Flag Football League, sponsored by the Recreation Division,began Thursday, September 12th at Cedar River Park. Over 85 men are participating this year. Transportation: I-405 Corridor Councilman Corman thanked State Senator Jim Horn for his role on the 1-405 Program, State Senator Jim Executive Committee, and praised his contributions in the selection of the Horn transportation projects listed on Referendum 51 (the statewide transportation funding plan)that will go before voters on the November ballot. AUDIENCE COMMENT Arland "Buzz" Johnson, 334 Wells Ave. S.,Apt. 221,Renton,98055, detailed Citizen Comment: Johnson— the City's need for more flowers, and flowering and colorful trees. He Renton Beautification Using displayed photos of communities in the eastern part of the United States Landscaping depicting this type of landscaping, and photos of areas in Renton, such as Williams and Wells Avenues S., which lack trees along the sidewalks. Mr. Johnson indicated that planting flowers and trees along streets and in the parks would add beauty and attract more people to the City. Councilman Corman expressed his appreciation for Mr. Johnson's ideas, and commented that the City has been aggressive in this area and has installed hanging flower baskets. He also pointed out that the City's Neighborhood Grant Program has funds available for beautification projects, and he encouraged neighborhood groups to apply for these funds. Indicating that he lived on the East Coast most of his life prior to coming to Washington,Mayor Tanner commented on the true natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

She also recommended that when the Public Safety Committee discusses the harbor regulations ordinance, they look at strengthening the legislation in regards to the seaplane issue. OLD BUSINESS Public Safety Committee Chair Clawson presented a report regarding the Public Safety Committee dangerous dog ordinance. The Committee convened to consider the ordinance Legal: Dangerous Dog revising dangerous dog regulations on September 9, 2002. The State legislature Regulations recently changed State law regarding how government will deal with dangerous dogs. The legislation raised the insurance requirements from$50,000 to $250,000. It removed references to vicious dogs, and it created a process to have a dog declared dangerous and an appeal process. While the City currently has a process, and the new law does not require that the City change it, the Committee considered the new legislation and believed it would be in the best interest of Renton citizens to adopt a similar procedure as the one outlined in the new legislation. The new legislation also removes references to vicious dogs. Current City Code subjects the owner of a vicious dog to a criminal citation if the dog is at large. The City would keep this regulation but remove the requirement that owners of vicious dogs must obtain liability insurance. E September 16,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 357 s The Committee recommended that the Council adopt an ordinance that raises the insurance requirements to$250,000, removes certain references to vicious dogs, and changes the current process regarding declaring a dog dangerous. In the event an owner of a dangerous dog cannot meet the insurance requirements and the requirements to secure the dog, the dog will be humanely destroyed. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Responding to Councilman Corman's inquiry as to why insurance is not required for vicious dogs, Councilman Clawson stated that the Committee did not want to impose insurance requirements for dogs that may have propensities to cause danger to other animals or people but have not demonstrated those actions. *MOTION CARRIED.

He explained that prior to the South Renton Neighborhood Plan, the RM-U zone allowed 150 dwelling units per acre as part of a density bonus predicated on design review, and the density was reduced with the adoption of the plan. Pointing out that staff believes well-designed multi-family development can mask higher densities,Mr. Cerise stated that the proposal will allow developments to go from a maximum of 75 to 100 dwelling units per acre. Continuing,Mr. Cerise stated that the RM-U zone density bonus will allow up to 25 additional dwelling units per acre if developments comply with at least one optional design guideline in each of the four categories currently existing within City Code. He displayed pictures of various design guideline options within the four existing categories which are: building siting and design; parking, access and circulation; landscaping,recreation, and common open space; and building architectural design. Explaining that the density bonuses are only applicable to the RM-U zone north of S. 2nd. St.,Mr. Cerise explained that this portion of the RM-U zone is within the Downtown Core Area and will blend more easily with the Center Downtown(CD) zone. In conclusion,he stated that the creation of a RM-U zone density bonus will result in a higher design standard for those developments that want additional density. Public comment was invited. Kent Smutny, TSA Architects, 50 116th Ave. SE, Suite 201, Bellevue, 98004, explained that he is currently working on a project located at 110 Wells Ave. S., which is located in the proposed RM-U zone density bonus area. Pointing out that he will be able to achieve more density resulting in a four-story rather than a three-story building if the density bonus is approved,Mr. Smutny stated that density bonuses are a good mechanism for rewarding good design. Frank Prien,Real Estate Broker, 12535 Roosevelt Way NE, Seattle, 98125, reported that he visited the City of Renton five years ago to review the lands for sale at the time, and was encouraged that the City wanted development. He stated that a number of developments have been constructed in the downtown area since then, and indicated that he would like to see the 50-unit Chateau DeVille Condominium project located at 102 Williams Ave. S. built, as it would be an asset to Renton's downtown area.

EDNSP: Planning Commission Planning and Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a Member Reduction, report regarding the reduction in the number of Planning Commission members. Department Organization The Committee met on October 3, 2002,to consider reducing the number of Planning Commissioners from nine to seven. It is increasingly difficult to recruit sufficient community members to fill the nine-person board and over the last several years the Planning Commission rarely had the full complement of members. It is also difficult at times to meet a quorum of five members to hold a meeting. Reducing the membership from nine to seven members will require a quorum of four members rather than five. In a survey of other cities in the County, a majority have seven-member boards. Minor housekeeping amendments are also proposed to change division names ego October 7,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 380 and staff titles to have City Code reflect the current City departmental organization.

Mr. Clawson indicated that the electrical switch does not need to be relocated at this time, and he urged the other Councilmembers to vote against funding the relocation of the switch. Speaking in favor of the Committee report, Councilman Parker stressed that the electrical switch is unsightly, and its removal will enhance the downtown area. He reported that the Downtown Parking Garage is under budget, and the money for the switch relocation will be funded by the contingency fund. Mr. Parker agreed that it is a lot of money; however,he added that with the construction of the garage,now is the time to relocate the switch. Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's inquiry, Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington stated that Puget Sound Energy does not cost share underground projects. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler pointed out that Puget Sound Energy may charge less, or even more for switch location depending on how the project goes. Councilman Persson shared Mr. Clawson's concern regarding spending money on the relocation of the switch,but indicated that he supports its relocation due to aesthetics and public safety reasons. Responding to Councilman Clawson's inquiry regarding why the switch needs to be relocated now, Community Services Administrator Jim Shepherd stated that this is a convenient and less costly time for the relocation since new sidewalks are going to be installed as part of the parking garage construction. *MOTION CARRIED.

CARRIED. OLD BUSINESS Transportation(Aviation) Committee Chair Persson presented a report Transportation(Aviation) regarding the extension of the approved street closures for the Eastside Committee Interceptor project. King County is installing approximately 1,800 feet of 72- Public Works: Eastside inch pipe in the area of Houser Way S.,Burnett Ave. S., and Morris Ave. S. Interceptor Project, Street On June 11, 2001, the Council approved street closures for three intersections Closures for this project. Due to unexpected delays,construction on this project is now behind schedule, and King County Metro has requested extension of the approved street closures. The project experienced delays early in the construction process. The special new tunneling machine used for the project arrived about two months late, delaying the start of the tunneling work. Additionally,problems with extensive groundwater in the vicinity of Houser Way S. and Burnett Ave. S. required considerably more dewatering efforts than originally planned. The project contractor has attempted to get the project back on schedule by expanding work hours to 12 to 14 hours per day, six days a week through the summer. This extra effort has reduced the schedule delays,but additional time is still required to complete the work in the three street closure areas. The intersection at Houser Way S. and Morris Ave. S. was originally approved to be closed through October 31st. Work at this intersection is nearing completion,pending removal of a temporary transformer at S. 5th St. and Morris Ave. S.by the contractor for Puget Sound Energy. This transformer was set as a community relation gesture to eliminate the noise impacts of using diesel generators. The intersection at Burnett Ave. S. and Houser Way S. was originally approved to be closed through August 30th. The groundwater problems at this location resulted in modifications to the tunneling schedule, which resulted in significant delays in starting work at this intersection. The concrete structure will need to be completed, with a concrete cure of about one week. The manhole riser will then be installed;the site backfilled; steel plates removed; and the road returned to normal traffic operations. The intersection at S. 7th St. and Morris Ave. S. was originally approved to be closed though September 30th. The remaining work at this intersection is to set the manhole top,backfill,and remove the shoring system. 3�0 October 14,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 390 The Committee recommended approving the extension of the previously approved street closures at the intersections of Houser Way S. and Morris Ave. S., and Morris Ave. S. and S. 7th St. through November 1,2002. The Committee recommended approving the extension of the previously approved street closures at the intersection of Houser Way S. and Burnett Ave. S. through December 6, 2002. The Committee recommended that any requests for further extensions of these closure dates be subject to monetary penalties,and strongly encouraged the timely completion and reopening of these three intersections. The Committee further recommended that the conditions placed on the street closures continue to be applied to the extended street closures. S. 7th St. will be open to the public only on weekdays from 5:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. westbound, and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. eastbound. Additional angle parking will be provided on a temporary basis along the west side of Morris Ave. S. between.S. 6th and S. 7th Streets during the closure of Morris Ave. S. Emergency and pedestrian access will be maintained at all times and the approved traffic control plan will be implemented and maintained by the contractor to the satisfaction of the Transportation and Development Services Divisions. The Committee noted that the completion date for the overall project has also been delayed from November, 2002,to approximately February, 2003. The City and County entered into a Memorandum of Agreement outlining mitigation responsibilities for the significant impacts to the South Renton neighborhood based upon the November, 2002,completion date. The Committee therefore recommended that King County provide additional mitigation measures for the affected neighborhood to address the additional impacts from the extended construction period. Suitable mitigation measures could include additional sidewalk improvements,or other physical improvements to the neighborhood. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Councilman Clawson and Mayor Tanner questioned the Committee report language concerning the provision that King County provide additional mitigation measures for the affected neighborhood. Councilman Persson explained that at the Transportation Committee meeting, King County representatives stated that additional mitigation for the neighborhood may be possible. Explaining that the project is within budget, and some funds may be available for mitigation measures, Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated that King County agreed that it would be a good idea to do something for the neighborhood to make up for the extended disruption, and King County agreed to meet again with the Committee with suggestions for mitigation measures. *MOTION CARRIED. Finance Committee Finance Committee Chair Parker presented a report recommending concurrence Library: Computer Upgrade, in the staff recommendation that the contract with epixtech, inc., for the epixtech inc purchase of an upgrade to the Renton Public Library catalog, materials, acquisition, and circulation tracking system in the amount of$57,096 be approved. The library computer upgrade will update the existing operating system and hardware, and add a web-based public interface to the catalog. The current software and hardware are nearing the end of the manufacturer's support obligation. Thus,the upgrade of the system is needed to ensure future October 14,2002 Renton City Council Minutes Page 391 serviceability. The addition of a web-based interface to the library's catalog will improve the systems ease of use for the public,both from their homes and within the library. The Committee further recommended that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the contract. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY PERSSON,COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.

MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CLAWSON,COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Councilman Parker reported that although the contract amount is$5,000 over the budgeted amount for the signage project, it is within the overall garage construction budget. Councilman Persson added that the extra cost is for the addition of an exit sign on S. 2nd St. *MOTION CARRIED. EDNSP: Fry's Electronics Finance Committee Chair Parker presented a report regarding the Fry's Mitigation Fees Waiver Electronics store mitigation fees waiver. Fry's Electronics has requested a waiver of mitigation and utility connection fees totaling$295,171.07 in association with the construction of its 150,000 square foot store in North Renton. As estimates show,Fry's is expected to generate$2.6 million in City tax and fee revenues in its first five years of operation. The Committee met on October 14, 2002,and determined that the economic benefits of Fry's Electronics to the City of Renton will far outweigh the initial loss of these fees. Therefore,the Committee recommended that the City Council waive the fire mitigation fee, traffic mitigation fee, special utility connection fee(water and special utility connection fee), sewer for the Fry's Electronics project, as requested, thereby stimulating construction of this facility. The Committee recognized that the waiver of those fees will have an impact on these specific mitigation fund accounts and recommended review of potential reimbursement of these funds during each annual budget cycle.* Councilman Parker emphasized that the matter was carefully reviewed, and he explained that if deficits result in the mitigation fund accounts because of this action,money can be transferred from the City's general fund to cover any obligations the City has on those accounts. *MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.

He reported that Initiative 790 would change the (Motor Vehicle License Fees) method of governing the LEOFF 2 pension system for police and firefighters, and the way that earnings from investments would be handled. The initiative would remove the LEOFF 2 pension fund from its current status of being managed by State appointed boards to a new administration with the majority of members being police and fire representatives. Explaining that Renton would have to pay an additional $1.5 to$1.8 million annually to the pension fund if I-790 is approved by voters,Mr. Covington stated that the Administration recommends that Council adopt a resolution stating its opposition to the initiative. Reporting on Initiative 776, Mr. Covington explained that the initiative: • Requires license tab fees for motor vehicles to not exceed$30; • Eliminates the authorization for voter-approved local option Motor Vehicle Excise Tax(MVET) for transit; • Requires outstanding bonds for light rail be retired; • Repeals local option vehicle license fee; and • Repeals MVET related statues—exemptions, valuation requirements, and revenue distribution statutes that were in effect when MVET was collected by the State. Pointing out that the estimated cost impact on the City is $450,000 to$500,000 annually if the initiative is passed,Mr. Covington stated that the Administration also recommends that Council adopt a resolution stating its opposition to I-776.
