Ms. Hagen expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to have served on the commission, and she named her favorite projects, including the Young Musicians Showcase,the Meet the Artists Series, and the Rentennial Celebration. Additionally, she noted the importance of committee, board,and commission volunteers to the City of Renton. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Streets: Shopping Cart accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Abandonment public hearing to consider the proposed ordinance regulating abandoned shopping carts. Jennifer Henning,Principal Planner,explained that this issue has been in the Planning and Development committee for two years. Abandoned shopping carts, which can be found along sidewalks, in streets, in parks, in school grounds, and at bus stops, create visual blight and present a potential safety hazard because the carts may restrict emergency vehicle access. Ms. Henning referred to RCW 9A.56.270 which states that it is unlawful to remove a shopping cart from the parking area of a retail establishment without permission,provided the cart is labeled with specific information. She noted that Renton has adopted the RCW citation by reference in City Code; however, abandoned carts are not otherwise regulated by the State or Renton. Ms. Henning reported that from July through September, City maintenance workers impounded nearly 400 shopping carts. Continuing,Ms. Henning reviewed the draft ordinance, which would: declare abandoned shopping carts to be a nuisance; require businesses to prepare and submit cart containment and cart retrieval plans to the City; provide for the impoundment and retrieval of carts; and establish fees and fines. She pointed out that the cart containment plan may rely on solutions such as locking wheel systems, bollards (physical obstructions), or coin return kiosks. CITY COUNCIL November 15,2004 City Clerk's Office �.. Referrals PLANNING &DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE Letter from Mary Loftin with Fred Meyer Stores, re: abandoned shopping cart ordinance PUBLIC MEETING 11/22/2004 - Querin Annexation - 10% Notice of Intent to annex petition mom PUBLIC HEARINGS 11/22/2004 - 2005 City of Renton Budget 11/22/2004 - Maplewood East Annexation - 60% Notice of Intent to annex petition and R-4 zoning November 15,2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 407 Ms. Henning stated that staff recommends public testimony be accepted regarding the proposed ordinance, and that the matter remain in Planning and Development Committee to further consider enacting legislation that regulates rr. abandoned shopping carts. Noting the reduced resources of the City,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler pointed out that taxpayer dollars are being used to impound the carts and to figure out a solution to this problem. She stressed that ultimately, it is the responsibility of the store and the customer. Public comment was invited. Monique Marcano, 715 Harrington Pl. SE,#2141, Renton, 98058, supported the use of bollards,and the listing of the fines on the shopping carts. She also suggested that the stores be fined per cart. Lee Trutmann, Safeway Store Manager(Highlands),4300 NE 4th St., Renton, 98055, reported that store employees routinely retrieve carts from the surrounding neighborhood. He acknowledged the importance of the issue, and noted that a shopping cart costs$300. Mr. Trutmann stated his concern that stores will bear the responsibility, via fines, for the abandoned carts, when it is the customers that are taking them off the premises. He suggested that the customers also be fined. Mr. Trutmann inquired as to possible subsidies for the preventative measures,and stressed that the responsibility should be balanced, especially if a store is doing all that it can to reduce the number of abandoned carts. Continuing,Mr. Trutmann noted the store's small profit margin, and stated that the costs associated with implementing measures such as locking wheel systems and employing personnel to monitor the parking lot is significant. He indicated that his store is willing to accept responsibility as long as it is reasonable, and he welcomes suggestions to improve the situation. In response to the Mayor's inquiry regarding the pursuit of shoplifters versus the theft of a shopping carts,Mr. Trutmann stated that customers do not understand the ramifications of taking carts, and he does not want to lose their business. Responding to Councilwoman Palmer's inquiry regarding signage on the carts, Mr. Trutmann indicated that his store's carts are signed to state that is unlawful to remove the cart from the premises; however, it is not a great deterrent. Councilwoman Nelson stated that she lives near the store, and suggested that he work with the nearby apartment owners. Councilman Clawson acknowledged Mr.Trutmann's efforts to retrieve the abandoned carts, but pointed out that some stores are not making much of an effort. Council President Persson suggested that stores offer a monetary reward for the return of the carts. Councilman Law thanked Mr. Trutmann for his comments, stating that a reasonable compromise can be reached. In response to Mayor Keolker-Wheeler's comments, Mr. Trutmann agreed to ask Safeway's corporate office whether Safeway would be willing to prosecute if a customer is cited for stealing a cart. Dave Richard, Safeway Store Manager(Fairwood), 17230 140th Ave. SE, Renton,98058, stated that he wants to be involved in the development of the ordinance. He indicated that he actively retrieves abandoned shopping carts, November 15,2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 408 and emphasized that he does not want his store to be held in the same standing as stores that are not as diligent about retrieving their carts. The Mayor stated that his input is welcome, but pointed out that the Fairwood Safeway is not under Renton's jurisdiction. Councilman Clawson noted that a police officer can only stop someone when there is reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed. Mr. Persson agreed that some storeowners are not as responsible as others, and suggested that measures for the return of carts be instituted when a new store is built. Councilman Corman suggested that the phrase "return fee" be used instead of "fine." A letter was read from Mary M. Loftin, Vice President, Public Affairs, Fred Meyer Stores, Inc.,PO Box 42121,Portland, OR, 97202, stating that Fred Meyer is committed to resolving the cart abandonment issue in Renton. She expressed her concerns about the content of the proposed ordinance, and suggested the following: the acceptance of the business name as the only required labeling on the carts, the exemption of retail establishments from the proposed ordinance if they install a cart retention system, and the equitable enforcement of the requirement to patrol a preset radius around the store. Continuing,Ms.Loftin said that Fred Meyer believes an additional regulator burden is not necessary, and is willing to support the control of shopping carts using existing City ordinances and the desire to be a responsible corporate citizen.

Additionally,Ms. Marweg voiced her appreciation District Activities for the reporting of the Renton School District activities at the Council meetings. Citizen Comment: Elliott- Sharon Elliott, 114 Wells Ave. S., Renton, 98055, reported that she was Damaged Sewer Line, Wells informed of her responsibility for replacing the damaged 30-foot side sewer Ave S from her property line to the City's sewer main located in the street. She stated that she replaced the sewer line on her property approximately ten years ago, November 15,2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 409 and at that time was unaware that she was responsible for the additional 30 feet. Ms. Elliott noted that construction by the City or some other party could damage that portion of her side sewer, and expressed concern regarding the permitting of such work. Additionally, she said she was told that the City of Renton does not have the resources to inspect the permitted work Councilman Corman clarified that City inspectors cannot catch everything, but permitted work is inspected. Councilman Clawson stated that he had spoken with Ms.Elliott and told her that by issuing permits, the City does not become a guarantor of the work that is done by the contractor. He explained that it is cost prohibitive for inspectors to watch the work of contractors every step of the way from start to finish. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman reported that the City's wastewater crew conducted a video inspection of Ms. Elliott's side sewer. Examination of the type and location of the breaks in the sewer line resulted in a determination that the damage was not caused by construction activity,but rather by the aging of the line. Mr. Zimmerman assured that every pipeline under permit is inspected, and he pointed out that if there is reason to believe that damage was caused by construction, the responsible party would have to repair the line. He added that if construction damaged a sewer line, problems would most likely occur within days or a week from the time of construction and be traceable back to the responsible party.

Annexation: Querin,Hoquiam accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Ave NE&SE 112th St public meeting to consider the 10%Notice of Intent petition for the proposed Querin Annexation, consisting of 10.14 acres located in the vicinity of Hoquiam Ave. NE, SE 112th St., and SE 114th Pl. Don Erickson, Senior Planner,explained that the subject area contains five single-family homes and four vacant parcels. The western portion of the site is relatively flat; however,Honey Creek and its ravine result in steep slopes and a high erosion area on the eastern portion of the site. Mr. Erickson recommended that surface water runoff be controlled via King County's 1998 Surface Water Design Manual Level 2 flow-control standards or greater. He reported that the site is served by Fire Districts#10 and#25,Water District#90, Renton sewer, and the Renton and Issaquah school districts. Mr. Erickson stated that the site's zoning under King County is R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre). Since Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Residential Single Family and Residential Low Density, applicable zoning is R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre) and R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre). Mr.Erickson reported that the annexation proposal is generally consistent with Renton annexation policies and Boundary Review Board objectives. The fiscal impact analysis indicates a surplus of $10,479 at full development, and a one-time park development cost estimated at $32,185. He concluded that the proposed annexation appears to further City business goals and be in the best interest of the City. EWA In response to Council President Persson's inquiry, Mr. Erickson confirmed that if annexed,the site would be served by Renton's Fire Department. November 22,2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 416 Public comment was invited. Martin Kenney, 18719 Yew Way, Snohomish, 98296, reported that he owns property in the proposed annexation area. Mr. Kenney stated that it has been a pleasure talking with City staff, and he expressed his hope that future development on the annexation site will be similar to a nearby housing development. Darrell Offe, 13932 SE 159th Pl.,Renton, 98058, speaking on behalf of Cambridge Homes, supported the proposed annexation and praised City Staff for their assistance with the process. Mr. Offe stated that for the Brookefield H Subdivision, a half-street was built that abuts the south side of the annexation area and it contains urban improvements such as water, stormwater,and sewer. Additionally, he noted the existence of a waterline to the west of the site in Hoquiam Ave. NE. Rick Finkbeiner, Cambridge Homes, 1800 NE 44th St., Renton, 98056, voiced his support for the annexation.

CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Maplewood East, accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the SE 136th St& 156th Ave SE public hearing to consider the 60%Notice of Intent petition to annex and R-4 zoning for the proposed Maplewood East Annexation for 26.14 acres, including the abutting SE 136th St. right-of-way,bounded by 152nd Ave. SE and the City limits on the west, 156th Ave. SE on the east, SE 136th St. on the south, and the Willowbrook Subdivision on the north. Don Erickson, Senior Planner,reported that the 60%petition was certified by King County on 9/13/2004, and the SEPA(State Environmental Policy Act) rezoning site review was completed with a determination of non-significance on 11/1/2004. In regards to the current site conditions,he noted the existence of eight single-family dwellings and a seven percent downward slope from the northeast corner to the southwest corner. Reviewing the public services,Mr. Erickson stated that Fire District#25,Water District#90,Renton sewer, and the Renton School District serve the site. Continuing, Mr. Erickson said existing King County zoning is R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Residential Low Density, for which R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre)zoning is proposed. He indicated that the fiscal impact analysis reveals a Now surplus of$6,515 at full development, assuming a potential of 78 single-family Hid November 22,2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 417 homes and an assessed home value of$400,000. Mr. Erickson also noted the estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost of$32,185. Mr. Erickson concluded by saying the annexation proposal serves the best interests and general welfare of the City, is generally consistent with City polices and Boundary Review Board objectives, and furthers City business goals. Noting some potential flooding in the area, he suggested mitigation with future development. Public comment was invited. Kristy Hill, 13527 156th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, expressed concern about the future development of the annexation site, and requested that an environmental impact study and a traffic study be conducted. Michael Fichtenholtz, 15323 SE 133rd Ct.,Renton, 98059, opposed the proposed annexation, saying that it is the only green site left in the neighborhood. Voicing concern about the increase in traffic on 156th Ave. SE, he requested a traffic study as well as an environmental impact study. Tamara Larrigan,4111 SE Ist Pl.,Renton, 98059,reported that she is working with the Renton School District site-based council for overcrowded schools. She stated that schools in the annexation area are overcrowded, and noted that the Issaquah School District assesses a school impact fee. Ms. Larrigan expressed concern that children are being bussed farther away from neighborhood schools. She asked Council to consider this situation when reviewing the impacts of new housing developments. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that Council has no jurisdiction over the Renton School District; however, impacts are considered when making land use decisions. She suggested that Ms. Lanigan address her concerns to the Renton School Board. In response to Councilwoman Palmer's comments regarding the City's role in the implementation of a school impact fee, City Attorney Larry Warren confirmed that the Renton School District does not meet the State criteria for establishing a mitigation fee.

The Committee reviewed staff Planning: R-1 Zone analysis and the recommendation of the Planning Commission on the R-1 zone Community Separators cluster and open space requirements in the City's designated Urban Separators. The Planning Commission recommended that clustered development be required and that a mandatory 50% open space tract be established to meet Urban Separator policies. The Committee concurred with this recommendation and further recommended that staff develop an ordinance that provides equivalent or better implementation of the Urban Separator than currently set forth in the King County code. The Committee further recommended that the implementation of Urban Separators include a mechanism to grant a density bonus up to the maximum density presently allowed by the King County code,provision of utilities, including sewer connections to parcels, and/or consideration of a means to achieve a connected and contiguous open space corridor within the Urban Separator. Further review should consider issues such as fencing requirements, the location of the open space corridor within a parcel, and the threshold for establishing the open space tract on individual parcels.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Victoria Runkle,Finance and Information Services Administrator, announced Finance: Distinguished Budget that Renton has once again won the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award Presentation Award,Employee from the Government Finance Officers Association for the City's 2004 Budget. Recognition Explaining that Renton is noted for the amount of detail in its budget, she r introduced budget team members Sylvia Doerschel,Finance Analyst Supervisor, and Jill Masunaga,Finance Analyst III, who ensure the integrity of the document. Ms. Runkle gave special thanks to Ms. Doerschel who plans to soon retire from the City. Ms. Doerschel recognized the many staff members, Citywide, who assist in producing the budget, giving special thanks to Beth Haglund,Forms/Graphic Technician, and Debbie Willard,Print&Mail Coordinator. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: R-1 Zone accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Community Separators public hearing to consider City Code amendments to enact a mandatory clustering provision within the designated Urban Separators within R-1 zoning and to require a mandatory open space tract. Rebecca Lind,Planner Manager,pointed out that Renton has three designated Urban Separator areas: May Valley, Cedar River, and the Talbot area by Springbrook Creek. She noted that attention has been focused on the May Valley area, as there is a pending annexation in the area known as the Merritt II Annexation. Ms. Lind explained that Urban Separators provide physical and visual distinctions between Renton and adjacent communities and define Renton's boundaries. The types of land use included in Urban Separators are highly constrained lands that contain critical areas and open space values,and the purpose of the separators are to protect environmentally sensitive areas. �.o Ms. Lind stated that Urban Separator policies are currently implemented through the low density residential section of Renton's Comprehensive Plan, as well as through the R-1 zoning where one dwelling unit per net acre is allowed. December 13,2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 439 She noted that development credit is not given for designated critical areas, or for public and private roads. ki In King County,Ms. Lind reported that Urban Separators are currently implemented through a mandatory clustering standard requiring clustering away from sensitive areas or"the axis of the Community Separators." In King County's R-1,P zone,clustering and 50% open space retention is required. Renton currently allows and encourages clustering but does not mandate it. She pointed out that Renton's overall density regulations are approximately 20% lower than King County's regulations due to the difference in the density calculations. King County calculates density based upon gross acreage, which includes critical areas and public and private roads. Continuing,Ms.Lind stated the staff recommends enacting regulations that are more explicit than King County code. The proposed regulations include the following: an Urban Separator overlay provision, a mandatory clustering provision, a 50% open space requirement to include critical areas and buffers, the prohibition of fencing that restricts access within the open space, and the allowance of trails and utility connections. She explained that the trigger for the open space requirement includes subdivision, lot line adjustment,building permit, and major remodel. Additionally, a density bonus is proposed to adjust for the difference between the net and gross densities. The density bonus would allow up to one dwelling unit per gross acre, and the bonus provisions include contiguous open space and enhancement of buffers. Concluding,Ms.Lind stated that this issue will remain in Planning and Development Committee, and staff will continue to review public testimony, specific City Code language, and the map of critical areas and proposed open space configuration. Public comment was invited. Jim Hanson, 17446 Mallard Cove Lane,Mt. Vernon, 98274, stated that he is working with property owners in the original Merritt Annexation and May Valley Urban Separator areas. He voiced his agreement with a majority the proposed regulations, and made the following comments: allow modification of the 50% open space requirement on some parcels; allow the crossing of open space by emergency vehicles; the six-unit maximum clustering allowance along with the 50% open space requirement may prohibit clustering the way the City is proposing; the 50% open space requirement restricts the ability to develop parcels due to the City's net density; and re-vegetation is important in the critical areas but may not be appropriate in all parts of the open space separator. Dan Gallagher, 19225 Talbot Rd. S.,Renton, 98031, indicated that although he supports clustering,he does not support it for his property which contains the Springbrook Trout Farm. He emphasized that no one can care for his property better than his family. Additionally,he expressed his support for clustering on the neighboring Cleveland Park property if half is reserved for a wildlife area and the other half for the park. Jerri Wood, 12408 SE 98th St.,Renton, 98056, stated that she is also speaking on behalf of her mother,Mary Lou Zimmerman, who lives at 13703 SE May Iftw Valley Rd.,Renton, 98055. Thanking the City for the proposed 50% open space requirement,Ms. Wood noted the importance of the Urban Separator. She said continued development along NE Sunset Blvd. has affected the quality of life of people who live along May Creek. She explained that over- r December 13,2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 440 development leads to flooding and erosion, which affects not only the Urban Separator but also the areas surrounding May Creek, including the mouth of May Creek at Lake Washington. Ms.Wood added that neighbors are divided over what can and cannot be done with their property, and stressed that any rr action taken should not harm the affected property owners. Randy LaVigne, 14833 SE Jones Pl. Renton, 98058, voiced his opposition to the taking of private property for purposes such as this,but indicated that he does support the purchasing of open space. Dennis Noland, 14326 SE 100th PI.,Renton, 98059, stating that he has lived adjacent to the May Creek Urban Separator for 25 years,expressed his support for the clustering and 50% open space requirements. Pointing out that many landowners are pushing for annexation to Renton for access to the City's sewer service,Mr.Noland stressed that Renton has a responsibility to determine the type and appropriateness of the development that takes place. Julie Bonwell, 9616 146th Ave. SE,Renton, 98055,explained how the May Valley Urban Separator fits in the Puget Sound's larger regional open space system. Emphasizing that open space corridors must be established and preserved, she stated that requiring clustering and 50% open space is a step towards that goal. She provided Councilmembers with a map showing the greenbelt, open space, State and local parks,rural lands, and Urban Separators from Cougar Mountain Regional Wildlife Park to Lake Washington. Ms. Bonwell recommended that the 50%permanent open space requirement also exclude critical areas. Jim Bonwell, 9616 146th Ave. SE,Renton, 98055, expressed his concern about the way property is developed, saying that land is often leveled out prior to ..., building, with not even a tree left standing. He noted that this destroys buffers, and negatively affects surrounding property. Mr. Bonwell stated that he favors a 50% or greater open space requirement, clustering, and a better way to develop property. Andrew Duffus,9605 143rd Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, described the positive actions of the City of Renton over the past 15 years pertaining to the May Valley Urban Separator, which included supporting the addition of a map of existing Urban Separators to the Countywide Planning Policies. Mr. Duffus urged Council to follow past visionary decision making and amend City Code to require mandatory clustering and 50% permanent open space tracts within the Urban Separators. Jean Rollins, 9605 143rd Ave. SE,Renton, 98059,pointed out that clustering and 50% open space retention has been required in the May Valley area since 1983. She also pointed out the important role Urban Separators play in the regional open space system,noting that Countywide Planning Policies call for technical development regulations that maintain and steward Urban Separators. Ms. Rollins asked that Council reaffirm its long-standing commitment to Urban Separators by requiring clustering away from sensitive areas and 50% permanent open space. Bob Blayden,9933 143rd Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, stated that he owns six acres within the Merritt 11 Annexation area. He expressed his support for the 50% open space requirement if the maximum density is allowed. He explained NEW that without the maximum density he would only be allowed five lots, and the loss of one lot affects the overall cost of development. Saying that he was December 13,2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 441 careful to protect May Creek by installing a retention pond when he built in the past,Mr. Blayden noted the need to be able to cross the Urban Separator for sewer and stormwater retention and secondary access for emergency vehicles in order to develop the property. Debra Rogers, 5326 NE 22nd Ct., Renton, 98058,representing the Stonegate Homeowners Association, spoke in favor of the 50% open space retention requirement, as well as developing away from critical areas. She pointed out that the Stonegate neighborhood contains Greens Creek and a portion of the Urban Separator, emphasizing that residents want the May Creek area protected. Correspondence was read from Larry Phillips,Metropolitan King County Council Chair, 516 3rd Ave. Room 1200, Seattle, 98104,recommending that Renton use the 50% open space requirement within Urban Separators as allowed in King County's R-1 zone. The following e-mail was read into the record in support of the 50% open space requirement in the Urban Separators: Connie Marsh, 1175 NW Gilman Blvd., #B 11, Issaquah, 98027; Jodi&John Mackey, 5301 NE 23rd Ct.,Renton, 98059;Jan Fohrell,2400 Lyons Ave. NE,Renton, 98059;Wayde Watters, 11608 SE 286th St., Kent,98030;David Kappler, 255 SE Andrews St., Issaquah, 98027;Betsy Reamy, 2502 Lyons Ave.NE,Renton,98059; Kevin F.

WSDOT: I-405/SR-167 Craig Stone, I-405 Project Manager for the Washington State Department of Corridor Improvements Transportation(WSDOT),provided an update on the I-405 corridor and SR- Update 167 interchange improvements. He reported that through the 2003 approved statewide "nickel package" (funded by the five cent gas tax),the Renton area receives $136,000,000 for these improvements. The funded improvements include the addition of a northbound I-405 lane from West Valley Hwy. to the SR-167 interchange,the addition of a southbound I-405 lane from Maple Valley Hwy. to SR-167, and the extension of the southbound HOV lane from the SR-167 interchange. Stating that engineering has commenced for these H56 December 20,2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 455 improvements and the environmental review has begun,Mr. Stone announced an open house on 1/27/2005 at the IKEA Performing Arts Center on the environmental issues associated with the proposed road improvements. i Continuing,Mr. Stone explained that the I-405 Master Plan is a 20-year vision of multi-modal improvements to the I-405 corridor and arterials, stretching from Tukwila to Lynnwood. The challenge involves taking the long-term vision,breaking it into projects, and obtaining funding. Mr. Stone described some Renton-area unfunded projects, which are part of the overall master plan. One project entails replacing the SR-167 cloverleaf interchange with direction ramps resulting in two interchanges for the City of Renton at Lind Ave. SW and Talbot Rd. S. He pointed out that the subject project options are being reviewed, including the potential widening of 1-405 to the south that would affect adjacent businesses and homes, and the improvements to Benson Rd. S. In regards to Renton Hill,Mr. Stone reviewed options for this area,pointing out that I405 will be widened to the west. He indicated that issues related to access points to Renton Hill, including emergency vehicle access, will continue to be reviewed. Mr. Stone also reviewed Liberty Park, Cedar River Park, and City wells access issues.

PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Maplewood accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Addition,Maple Valley Hwy public meeting to consider the 10% Notice of Intent to annex petition for the proposed 60.5-acre Maplewood Addition Annexation, which is bounded on the north by Maple Valley Hwy. (SR-169), and on the west, south, and east by the north shore of the Cedar River. Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that the subject site is within Renton's now potential annexation area, and contains 161 single-family dwellings. He explained that the site is also included in the proposed Fairwood incorporation area. Once Fairwood proponents file their 10%petition, there is a 90-day window to file the notice of intent package to annex with the Boundary Review Board. For example, to allow processing time,the annexation proponents must file their 60%petition by the first week of March if Fairwood proponents file their 10%petition in January. He noted that failure to meet the 90-day window precludes the area's future annexation to Renton if the Fairwood incorporation is successful. Mr.Erickson reported that the topography of the site is essentially flat above the Cedar River bank and the entire site, with the exception of the lots north of SE 149th St., is located within the flood hazard boundary. He reviewed the existing public services as follows: • Fire service is provided by Fire District#25. This stays the same if annexed; however, adequate water pressure is an issue. • Water service is provided by the Maplewood Water Cooperative. If annexed,the water cooperative can continue to operate within the City. • The site is not currently served by sewer but is located within Renton's sewer service area. There are no known septic issues at this time, and residents are not required to convert from septic to sewer if annexed. mum Septic systems are under the purview of the King County Health Department. 0 The site is within the Renton School District. January 24,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 21 21 • If annexed, and residents choose to convert to City utilities,the City can assist them in the formation of Local Improvement Districts (LIDs). "now Continuing,Mr.Erickson stated that existing King County zoning for the site is R-6(six units per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Single Family, and concurrent zoning is R-8 (eight units per net acre). He noted that the City is reviewing a possible change in designation to Residential Low Density, for which concurrent zoning is R-4 (four units per net acre). Reviewing the fiscal impact analysis, Mr. Erickson indicated that the annual estimated cost to the City for the annexation is $40,304. If property owners decide to upgrade to sewer, the annual estimated City cost would be $35,386 due to the likely increase of property values. In conclusion,Mr. Erickson stated that the annexation proposal is generally consistent with City policies for annexation and relevant Boundary Review Board criteria. He noted the adequate level of parks in the area, the likely ongoing and costly flood control challenge, the aging infrastructure, and the larger than normal annual subsidy required to serve the area. Public comment was invited. Eric Anders, 13133 SE 149th St.,Renton, 98058, stated that he is a proponent of the annexation, and noted that a community meeting was recently held at which City of Renton staff provided information. Mr. Anders pointed out that the Maplewood Water Cooperative cannot support R-8 zoning, and he stated his preference for R-4 zoning. Despite the costs associated with upgrading the water and sewer systems if necessary or desired,Mr. Anders indicated his support for annexation to Renton rather than incorporation by Fairwood. In response to questions posed by Richard Hall, 13111 SE Maple Valley Hwy., Renton, 98058,Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch stated that grant monies may be available for flood protection. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman stated that the assessment for installing the water and sewer is estimated at$15,000 per household per utility. He noted that if residents formed an LID for these improvements, the assessment would be paid over a period of time. Bev Spears, 13111 SE 151st St.,Renton, 98058, stated that many residents feel they do not have enough information about the costs to the community and individual homeowners for both the Fairwood incorporation and the proposed annexation. Noting the aging infrastructure, she expressed concern that the site will never meet City standards. Ms. Spears indicated that a resident questionnaire has been submitted to Mr. Erickson for more information. Mr. Pietsch noted that the recently received resident questionnaire will be responded to by the end of the week. Discussion ensued regarding the gathering of information and approximating costs; Council policy regarding annexation areas meeting City standards; current practice of annexing areas as they are; upgrading areas only as they are requested, systems fail, or redevelopment occurs; existing substandard areas in the City; the timeline for the annexation and for the Fairwood incorporation; consequences if annexation proponents fail to meet the deadline or obtain the low 60% petition; the City's option of requesting the Boundary Review Board to amend the boundaries of the incorporated area if annexation fails; and King County's decision not to serve pockets of unincorporated areas. 22 January 24,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 22 City Attorney Larry Warren stated that there is no legal authority for the City to condition the annexation upon the signing of an LID or a commitment to improve water or sewer systems. Outside of the bonded indebtedness and the zoning requirement,the City cannot add additional conditions to annexation petitions. Stephanie Lorenz, 13515 SE Maple Valley Rd.,Renton, 98058, stated that the proponents of the Fairwood incorporation effort are unable to provide affected residents with much information,which results in the inability of the residents to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two efforts. If the 10% petition is accepted this evening,Ms. Lorenze asked if the 60% petition deadline can be extended. Mr. Pietsch explained that the time cannot be extended as long as the Fairwood incorporation proponents file their petition to incorporate within the assumed timeframe. The longer the filing of the petition for the Fairwood incorporation is delayed,the more time the subject annexation will have. Mayor Keolker- Wheeler stressed that the City strives to provide accurate and timely information, and a number of concerns will be addressed when the City responds to the resident questionnaire. Linda Gibson, 15031 135th Ave. SE,Renton, 98058, expressed concern regarding all of the misinformation being circulated about the annexation. She also pointed out that with an LID, a lien is placed on the property. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler noted that residents must ask for the formation of an LID;the City will not impose an LID on the community. Further discussion commenced regarding septic system failure, costs related to utility systems, misinformation, and the benefit of more representation by elected officials if the area is annexed or incorporated. Ray Griffen, 14405 SE 143rd Pl.,Renton, 98055,reported that Renton's Aquifer Protection Ordinance states that any homes in Aquifer Protection Zones 1 and 2 must connect to the sewer. Mr. Zimmerman explained that the ordinance only requires mandatory sewer connection in Zone 1. The annexation area is located in Zone 2; therefore, mandatory hook-up is not required. Dennis Wood, 14934 134th Ave. SE,Renton, 98058, opposed the annexation proposal,pointing out that new road and house numbers will be assigned if the area is annexed. Mr. Wood expressed his disapproval with the City's addressing system, and stated that the address scheme makes it difficult to find places. Additionally,Mr. Wood acknowledged the area's aging water system, and noted Maplewood Water Cooperative's policy to keep the water system within local control. He also noted the need for a pamphlet, similar to the voters pamphlet, which states the for and against positions of the various interests. Brian Lowrey, 13112 SE 150th St.,Renton, 98058, inquired about the bonded indebtedness and the loss to the City if the area is annexed. Mr.Pietsch explained that the bonded indebtedness refers to the park and senior housing Renton voted debt, which equates to$8 a year for a$100,000 valued property. He pointed out that the overall tax burden of property owners will be reduced if �r the area is annexed to Renton. January 24,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 23 23 Noting that the area is located within Renton's potential annexation area(PAA), Councilman Corman stated that despite the cost the PAA is part of the City's responsibility. Councilman Clawson pointed out that the area will eventually have to annex to Renton or to another City. Mr. Erickson reported that a community meeting will be held if the annexation proposal proceeds to the 60%petition level.

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Anthone Talbot accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Rd S &S 55th St public hearing to consider the 60% Notice of Intent to annex petition for the proposed Anthone'Annexation consisting of 4.84 acres, including the abutting street right-of-way, located at the southeast corner of the intersection of S. 55th St. and Talbot Rd. S. Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that the site contains one single-family dwelling, and has a three percent upward slope from the southwest corner to the northeast corner. Reviewing the public services,Mr. Erickson indicated that Fire District#37,Renton water and sewer,and the Kent School District serve the site. He explained that existing King County zoning is R-6 (six units per gross acre). The land use designation under the City's Comprehensive Plan is Residential Low Density,for which R-4 (four units per net acre)zoning is proposed. Mr.Erickson noted that the City is reviewing the possible redesignation of the area to Residential Single Family,for which concurrent zoning is R-8 (eight units per net acre). Mr.Erickson indicated that despite the smaller than normal annexation area and the limitation of future development to approximately 16 lots, the annexation proposal provides a potential catalyst for annexing a larger area to the south, and facilitates upgrading the intersection of Talbot Rd. S. and S. 55th St. He reported that the fiscal impact analysis reveals a surplus of$465 at current development, and a surplus of$875 at full development. The estimated one- time parks acquisition and development cost is $8,528. irr.+ Mr.Erickson concluded that the proposed annexation is consistent with City annexation policies except for size, and is consistent with Boundary Review 21 Renton Cit Council Minutes Page 24 January 24,2005 Y Board criteria. He noted the potential of flooding in the area, and suggested Level 2 flow control for new development. Public comment was invited. Jim Biteman, 19203 98th Ave. S.,Renton, 98055,reported the presence of King County land use action signs in the annexation area for a nine-home development on 1.6 acres, and expressed concern about the conflicting zoning of the two jurisdictions. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that the City will investigate the development proposal. In response to Mr. Biteman's comment about the site's proposed boundary expansion by the City,Mr. Pietsch explained that if the 60% petition is accepted,the City submits a notice of intent package to the Boundary Review Board. At that time,jurisdictions can invoke jurisdiction for boundary modifications. The Boundary Review Board holds two public hearings on the matter, makes a recommendation, and then the City Council has final approval to accept the annexation as modified or not. In response to inquiries by Dan Gallagher, 19225 Talbot Rd. S.,Renton,98055, regarding the City's Cleveland Park property located in unincorporated King County,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler explained that a timeline has not been set for its annexation to the City, as the City has not received any annexation requests. She further explained that there are no pending plans for development of the park property. Harry Trapp, 19223 98th Pl. S.,Renton, 98055, also expressed concern about the proposed housing development and the conflicting zoning. Additionally,he noted the problems he had with the developer of Talbot Estates, and hoped that maw his property would be properly protected when future development occurs. Mr. Wood displayed a photograph of a property containing a demolished house, and expressed his hope that Renton will address the unsightly problem if the area is annexed.

MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Vacation: Park Ave N, City of This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Renton, VAC-04-005 accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the public hearing to consider the City-initiated request for vacation of four portions of right-of-way, a total of approximately 21,795 square feet, along Park Ave. N., between Garden Ave. N. and N. 8th St. The requested vacation areas are associated with the planned development of Lakeshore Landing, which consists of approximately 55 acres bounded by Logan Ave. N.,Garden Ave. N.,and N. 8th St. Karen McFarland,Engineering Specialist, explained that the City agreed to construct a new arterial street system to support the development of the property in the 2003 development agreement with Boeing. Additionally, Boeing agreed to dedicate certain properties for right-of-way, and the City agreed to vacate unused portions of existing right-of-way. In 2004, the Lakeshore Landing Binding Site Plan was approved that identifies specific tracts needed as right-of-way for construction of the Logan Ave. N. extension, a relocated Park Ave. N., and new sections of street for N. 10th St. and N. 8th St. Ms. McFarland stated that three portions of the right-of-way to be vacated are owned by the City(Tracts I, K, and N), and one is owned by the Washington State Department of Transportation(Tract H). Ms. McFarland noted the existence of two stormwater systems in two of the portions (Tracts H and I). Continuing,Ms. McFarland reported that the vacation request received no objections from City departments and outside agencies. The Utility Systems Division requested a temporary easement be retained to protect the existing stormwater systems, and the Transportation Systems Division pointed out that turnback approval is needed from WSDOT for Tract H. Ms. McFarland indicated that since this is a City-initiated request,no compensation is due. She concluded that staff recommends approval of the vacation request conditioned upon retaining the temporary easement and obtaining turnback approval. Public comment was invited.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Keith Joslin, 14048 SE 158th St.,Renton, 98058, inquired as to the City's intent Citizen Comment: Joslin- or vision on annexations in relation to the Fairwood incorporation effort. Annexations Mayor Keolker-Wheeler explained that the Fairwood area has been in Renton's potential annexation area for a long time, and if it were to annex to Renton, the size of the City would double. She expressed her concerns regarding the maintenance of a certain level of service for City residents, and the generation of revenues by the annexation area. The Mayor further explained that the City is accepting of those interested in Now annexing to Renton; however,the City generally does not initiate annexation. Councilman Corman stated his belief that if Fairwood residents were to inquire as to what it would be like to annex to Renton,perhaps as a comparison to the Fairwood incorporation,the City would respond. Citizen Comment: Smith- Hilton Smith, 809 Fairview Pl. N., Seattle,98109, spoke on behalf of Waterways Cruises,Moorage Waterways Cruises, which operates dinner vessels and offers catering services. at Southport He relayed that his company has been in discussion with Southport(SECO Development)regarding locating one or more vessels and an event center in the Renton area that would involve permanent moorage. Mr. Smith noted that a 300 to 400 passenger vessel could draw numerous visitors to Renton. He explained that Waterways Cruises needs a five-year commitment,including parking, from Southport for permanent moorage, and he pointed out that currently only a two-year parking commitment is allowed. Responding to Councilman Corman's and the Mayor's inquiries, Mr. Pietsch noted that the City received a multi-faceted proposal from SECO Development late last week in regards to some outstanding issues between SECO and the City pertaining to the Southport project. He explained that the Southport project was permitted under an adopted planned action, and current zoning does not allow surface parking as a stand-alone use. Mr. Pietsch stated that parking is possible via a temporary use permit, which is valid for two years with possibly a one-year extension. He noted that the City will meet with the concerned parties to discuss accommodating SECO's short-term needs and other outstanding issues. 27 January 24,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 27 MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL REFER THE SOUTHPORT DEVELOPMENT CONCERNS TO COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.* "NNW Mayor Keolker-Wheeler pointed out that the matter is already being reviewed by the Administration, and stressed that unresolved outstanding issues exist with the current development. Councilman Corman noted that with this development, a commitment has been shown for revitalization of this waterfront area, and he expressed his support for Council review of the matter. Councilman Persson stated that the referral allows Council a forum for further discussion. Councilman Clawson said he will not support suspending any previous commitments by SECO Development unless it is beneficial for the City of Renton. *MOTION CARRIED. Citizen Comment: Christ- Michael Christ, 1083 Lake Washington Blvd. N.,Renton, 98056, stated that he Southport Development represents the interests of the Southport community. Mr. Christ commented on the following issues: the allowance of parking on a vacant lot(over 550 stalls) for festivities and corporate events while the hotel and office development progresses; the use of the parking lot by the City for events;revitalization of the area; expansion of the tax exemption proposed for adjacent properties; the need for direction regarding additional offsite improvements; outstanding issues with the City, and the economic environment. Citizen Comment: O'Neill - Victoria O'Neill, SECO Development Marketing Director, 1083 Lake Southport Development Washington Blvd. N., Renton, 98056,pointed out that SECO has actively `„ marketed Renton to attract people to the Southport community, and supports Renton's tourism goals. She requested the City's assistance on permitting events and parking at Southport,as SECO is unable to make commitments without the City's permission. Councilman Corman expressed his hope that the City views events on the waterfront such as a boat show differently than a long-term commitment for vessel moorage. He commented on the improvements that have been made to the Southport area, and stated that he looks forward to reviewing the matter in Committee of the Whole. Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer,pointed out that one of the outstanding issues with SECO Development involves an easement for public access to the waterfront. Citizen Comment: Peckham- Julia Peckham, 1083 Lake Washington Blvd. N.,Renton, 98056, stated that she Southport Development is the manager of the Bristol at Southport apartment community and expressed her desire to proceed with the next mixed-use phase at Southport.

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Mosier II, 142nd accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Ave SE& 144th Ave SE public hearing to consider the 60%Notice of Intent to annex petition and R-4 zoning for the proposed Mosier II Annexation consisting of 31 acres, including the abutting street right-of-way, located between 142nd Ave. SE on the west now and 144th Ave. SE(Jericho Ave. NE)on the east, south of NE 2nd St., if extended. Don Erickson, Senior Planner,explained that the original 35.24-acre petition submitted in June, 2003, was unsuccessful in achieving signatures representing 60% of the area's assessed value. The petition was resubmitted in June, 2004, for 10.40 acres. At the public meeting on August 23, 2004, the Council agreed to expand the boundaries, increasing the annexation area to 31 acres. Mr. Erickson pointed out that as it stands now, if this area were annexed, a 13-lot subdivision located to the north of the annexation area will become an unincorporated island. Staff recommends including this subdivision with the annexation area by invoking jurisdiction at the Boundary Review Board and requesting its inclusion. Mr.Erickson stated that eight single-family dwellings exist on this relatively level site, and noted that a branch of Maplewood Creek runs southwest of the site draining wetlands to the west of 142nd Ave. SE. He reported that the site is served by Fire District#25,Water District#90, Renton sewer, and the Renton School District. Continuing,Mr.Erickson indicated that current King County zoning for the site is R-4 (four dwellings per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density,for which R-4(four dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. He noted that the site is one of three former R-5 sites grandfathered in as to density at a maximum of five dwelling units per net acre. February 7,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 39 39 Mr.Erickson stated that the fiscal impact analysis indicates a surplus of $28,249 at full development, assuming a potential of 118 single-family homes and an assessed new home value of$425,000. The estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost is $66,077. In conclusion,he said the annexation proposal furthers City business goals, and is consistent with Renton policies. Public comment was invited. Brian Leitch, 14217 SE 136th St.,Renton, 98059, stated that his five-acre parcel is located directly south of the proposed annexation area, and he requested the inclusion of his property in the annexation. Mr. Leitch indicated that his property,consisting of two taxation parcels, is bounded by SE 136th St. on the north,and 143rd Ave. SE on the east. Mr. Erickson explained that staff is already requesting authorization to invoke jurisdiction at the Boundary Review Board to expand the boundaries for the subdivision to the north, and Mr.Leitch's property could be included in that request. Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator, suggested that to allow for further staff investigation, the staff recommendation be changed to state "invoke jurisdiction at the Boundary Review Board requesting the expansion to more reasonable boundaries." Mayor Keolker-Wheeler clarified that the intent is to include the 13-lot subdivision,Mr. Leitch's parcel, and any other contiguous parcels that may want to annex. Alan Miller, 13568 139th Pl. SE,Renton, 98059,expressed his concern +� regarding traffic flow along SE 136th St.,noting that the increased density along Duvall Ave. NE has led to increased traffic in this area. He also noted that the misaligned intersection of Duvall Ave. SE and NE 4th St. creates traffic problems. Pointing out that continuing SE 136th St. all the way through would result in increased traffic flow, Mr. Miller requested that continuation of the street not be allowed. Additionally, he expressed his appreciation for the R-4 zoning of the area. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler explained that this public hearing concerns the annexation proposal, and pointed out that citizens will have opportunity during the development process to express concerns regarding development issues. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

Upon review of City Code, it was discovered that some of the existing definitions were out of date with evolving medical industry practices;thus a City Code amendment is being sought that will address this matter and also be applicable Citywide. Rebecca Lind, Planner Manager,explained that the proposed land use is for a holistic health clinic involving non-traditional medical practitioners and a short- term in-patient facility, with massage,non-traditional therapy,retail, and gardens as accessory activities. She indicated that the existing zoning code definitions of"Medical Institution," "Medical Office," "Office," and "Convalescent Facility" were not appropriate for this use; however, the definition "Medical Institution" most closely described the proposed activity. Ms. Lind pointed out that "Medical Institution" includes physical or mental health services, in-patient accommodations, medical and surgical care, and hospitals; and excludes medical and dental offices, convalescent centers, retirement residences, and group homes. Ms. Lind stated that staff recommends adding a definition of"Holistic Health Center" as a type of activity to the zoning code, and then add it into the "Medical Institution" definition as an included use along with hospitals. The new definition combines a number of activities intended for the improvement or maintenance of health,allowing both outpatient and inpatient care and various supporting accessory activities. Continuing,Ms. Lind explained that the proposed City Code amendment includes the holistic health activity within the "Medical Institution" land use. The amendment also Continues the Hearing Examiner conditional use permit for this type of land use activity in all zones. Additionally,the amendment includes moving the hospice facility from the "Convalescent Center" definition to the "Medical Institution" definition,and removing the term sanitarium from the "Medical Institution" definition.

(Liberty Ridge LLC; VAC-04-007). Karen McFarland,Engineering Specialist, explained that the petitioner plans to use the subject vacation area in the proposed Elmhurst Plat to create a uniform half-street right-of-way width along the western half of Bremerton Ave. NE. She noted that the vacation area does not contain any City facilities.

CARRIED. Planning: Development This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Regulations (Title IV) 2004 accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Docket&Amendments public hearing to consider the 2004 City Code Title IV (Development Regulations)Docket and related amendments. Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator, explained that the purpose of the Title IV Docket is to consider annual zoning code text amendments proposed by both applicants and the City of Renton. The City r... reviews the text amendments as a group once a year, although some items may 60 February 28,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 60 be the subject of separate work programs. He introduced Lisa Grueter, consultant with the land use consulting firm Jones & Stokes Associates, who reviewed the ten amendment requests. mod Lisa Grueter stated that the proposed changes to Title IV, Chapter 1, include: cleaning up long-standing inconsistency, interpretation, and organization issues; addressing school impact fees by consolidating subsections and removing provisions that are more suitable for the interlocal agreement or appear unnecessary; and instituting the current City practice in cases where the City requires securities or bonds. In Chapters 2 and 7,Ms. Grueter noted that amendments are recommended to address an inconsistency between the minimum lot size and the maximum density in single-family zones. Ms. Grueter reported an amendment to the R-10 zone (Chapter 2) proposed by Nora Schultz, who owns a property on Wells Ave. N. Ms. Schultz desires to build a duplex that meets the minimum lot size; however, the density is greater that ten units per acre. City Code does not allow attached units on pre-existing smaller lots if the maximum density is exceeded. Ms. Grueter reviewed four options that address this matter as follows: 1)No action; 2)Allow multiplexes on individual pre-existing lots that meet the minimum lot size but not the maximum density in the North Renton area only; 3)Allow multiplexes on individual pre-existing lots that meet the minimum lot size but not the maximum density by requiring a conditional use permit; and 4) Amend the Comprehensive Plan land use map and rezones to higher densities in selected areas such as North Renton. Ms. Grueter stated that the Planning Commission and staff recommends taking no action on this request, and addressing the matter through the Cedar River Master Plan for 2005/2006 for Ono the North Renton area. Moving on to the amendment concerning habitat set-aside in the Green River Valley(Chapters 2 and 4),Ms. Grueter noted that the City's land acquisitions have exceeded the original multijurisdictional target, and staff recommends determining and documenting that the two percent habitat set-aside provisions have been fulfilled and can be deleted from City Code. She reported another amendment,proposed by Courtney Flora,regarding binding site plan(BSP) provisions (Chapter 7) that are applicable to commercial, mixed use, and industrial zones. Ms. Flora requests allowing subdivision of the Washington Technical Center and similarly situated properties by treating the site as a whole when considering compliance with zoning and development standards. Ms. Grueter noted concerns with this proposal,including future property owner disputes, creation of nonconformities, smaller lots and fragmentation,and economic shifts. She reviewed the BSP options as follows: 1)No action; 2) Revise BSP provisions so that, when reviewed as a whole,the site meets all of the zoning and subdivision requirements; 3)Revise BSP provisions to include allowances for condominiums as an option when the minimum lot size requirements cannot be met through the BSP process; and 4)Revise the planned unit development (PUD)regulations to allow for commercial/industrial PUDs. Continuing,Ms. Grueter reported that the next amendment concerns Growth Management Hearings Board appeals (Chapter 8). Staff recommends correctly ..r identifying the appeals process for City Council actions on Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulation amendments. Another amendment concerns the 11.1 February 28,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 61 permit and SEPA(State Environmental Policy Act)process for nonproject actions (Chapters 8 and 9). Ms. Grueter said this proposal addresses the timing of the environmental review and the separation of the SEPA appeal and the loom legislative hearing. Ms. Grueter stated that the final amendment concerns PUD regulations (Chapter 9). She explained that PUD regulations allow modification of standard development regulations in exchange for open space or innovative designs not otherwise allowed by the basic regulations applicable to a site. The proposal modernizes the regulations, and provides a process to request modifications to development standards in exchange for public benefits. The amendments address applicable zones,the types of regulations that may be varied with the PUD regulations, and other procedural items. In conclusion, Ms. Grueter indicated that all docket items will remain in the Planning and Development Committee for study. In regards to the PUD regulations, Councilman Corman inquired if the possibility of allowing apartment houses, via clustering, in the R-1 zone has been eliminated. Ms. Grueter confirmed that variations are not allowed to the permitted uses or the densities. Public comment was invited. Nora Schultz, 540 Williams Ave. N.,#12, Renton, 98055, spoke on the subject of her docket item concerning the R-10 zone amendment. She pointed out that the nature of the North Renton area is changing, the R-10 zone only applies to a portion of the North Renton area, and the area is already highly dense,due in part to a number of existing non-conforming use structures. Ms. Schultz ,.... indicated that a duplex will not adversely affect the area, and expressed her support for the second or third option presented by City staff that allow multiplexes in only North Renton or by conditional use permit. Courtney Flora, 2025 1st Ave.,#1130, Seattle, 98121, spoke on behalf of Transpacific Investments,the proponent of the BSP amendment that applies zoning and development standards to the entire BSP site rather than each individual lot. Noting that the amendment has been adopted by other jurisdictions, she explained that the proposal allows sites to be broken up and marketed to individual users. She pointed out that this will help Renton, as the City is experiencing a high vacancy rate, and will level the playing field with other jurisdictions. Ms. Flora noted the importance of attracting businesses that can actually use what is available. In regard to the PUD amendments, she stated that it is unclear whether an existing office park will be able to comply with those regulations. Stan Kleweno, 101 SW Main St.,#350,Portland, OR, 97204, stated that Transpacific Investments is pursuing the BSP process amendment as a way to compete in a challenging market. He indicated that it is difficult for individual tenants and businesses to build and develop a property on their own, and this would be an opportunity to attract tenants, owners, and users to the area. Mr. Kleweno acknowledged that the leasing market can change; however, the ability of a business proprietor to own property is invaluable in the current market condition or any other.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Dennis Clark,Public Outreach/Stewardship Coordinator with the ESA: WRIA 9 Draft Salmon Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Water Resource Habitat Plan Inventory Area(WRIA) 9,reported on the draft WRIA 9 Salmon Habitat Plan. Mr. Clark explained that salmon recovery is in the hands of local people, and that the Puget Sound area is divided into 14 watersheds -of which Renton is within two(WRIA 8 and WRIA 9). He noted that the two watershed areas are densely populated,containing one-third of the State's population. Mr. Clark pointed out that habitat is a key factor in the decline of salmon, and I ocal people have a significant role in addressing water quality, riparian vegetation, and land use issues. He stated that the WRIA 9 draft plan focuses on meeting the habitat needs of salmon across the watershed. It is a long-term plan that does the following: uses an ecosystem approach with focus on Chinook salmon needs, is based on extensive scientific assessment, lists the most valuable on-the-ground projects to protect and restore habitat, lists programs and policies, and relies on adaptive management over the long term. Continuing,Mr. Clark noted some of the concerns encountered in the Lower Green River portion of the watershed, including reduced water quantity, removal of riparian vegetation,degradation and filling of wetlands, and ""'r degraded water quality. Mr. Clark reviewed the focus of the plan, the differences and similarities between the WRIA 8 and WRIA 9 plans, and the implementation of the plans. 81 March 14,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 81 In conclusion,Mr. Clark stated that March 10th through April 25th is the 45- day comment period for the WRIA 9 Salmon Habitat Plan. An open house and public meeting will be held at Renton City Hall on March 22nd. In regards to the plan review steps,he explained that the Steering Committee will review the comments from March through June, a forum of local governments will review the plan from July through September, and the final plan will be submitted to the City for review and possible adoption in late 2005. Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer, thanked Mr. Clark for his presentation and stated that City staff is reviewing the plan. He also praised City staff for their hard work on the development of the watershed plans. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Wedgewood accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Lane, 144th Ave SE& 148th public hearing to consider the 60% Notice of Intent to annex petition and R-4 Ave SE zoning for the proposed Wedgewood Lane Revised Annexation, which consists of 35.68 acres and abuts Renton on its western boundary. The site is bounded on the north by SE 114th St., if extended; on the south by approximately SE 121st St., if extended; and on the east-south of SE 117th St. by Honey Creek and north of SE 117th St. by 148th Ave. SE. Don Erickson, Senior Planner, noted that Council considered the revised 10% Notice of Intent to annex petition on 12/6/2004, and authorized expansion of the annexation boundaries by adding another five properties to the north. Mr. Erickson said the site currently contains 25 single-family houses, and slopes down from the northwest and northeast corners towards Honey Creek. Wetlands exist near the southern and eastern edges of the site, and he noted that the developers understand the sensitivity of the Honey Creek area. In regards to the public services,Mr. Erickson stated that Fire District#10,Water District #90,Renton sewer, and the Issaquah School District serve the area. Continuing,Mr. Erickson reported that the annexation area is currently zoned R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre)under King County, and Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Residential Low Density, for which R-4(four dwellings per net acre)zoning is proposed. He stated that the fiscal impact analysis indicates a surplus of$30,902 at full development,and there is an estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost of$74,030. Mr. Erickson concluded that the annexation proposal is consistent with City policies and furthers City business goals. He noted the potential of flooding in the area, and suggested mitigation when development occurs. In response to Councilman Persson's inquiry,Mr. Erickson confirmed that the City will provide the fire service if the area is annexed. Public comment was invited.

Items noted included: • The Specialized Recreation Winter Sports Banquet will be held at the Senior Activity Center on March 16th. This year's event is generously supported by a donation from The Soroptimist International of Renton. • In response to the Governor's declaration of a statewide drought emergency due to expected low water supplies from low snow pack in the mountains, the City recommends that customers use water wisely. The City's water supply is not immediately impacted by the low snow pack because the supply comes from groundwater in the Cedar Valley Aquifer. However, the City recommends that customers try not to use more water than necessary,especially during summer months when water use can double that in winter months. AJLS: Remembering Former Mayor Keolker-Wheeler expressed sadness at the loss of former Mayor Barbara Mayor Barbara Shinpoch Shinpoch who passed away on March 9th. Ms. Shinpoch served as Renton's Mayor from 1980 through 1987.

Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that Ms. Shinpoch will be missed by everyone who knew her, and pointed out that she was a mentor and a friend to her and a stellar example of a good leader. AUDIENCE COMMENT Nora Schultz, 540 Williams Ave. N.,#12,Renton,98055, spoke on the topic of Citizen Comment: Schultz- her Title IV docket item concerning the R-10 zone amendment to allow ••� Development Regulations attached townhouses or flats on pre-existing lots. She indicated that the density (Title IV)Docket,R-10 Zone calculation overrides the zoning of her property on Wells Ave. N., on which she Amendment Request wants to build a duplex. Ms. Schultz expressed disappointment with the staff recommendation to take no action and instead address the issue through the Cedar River Master Plan for 2005/2006, which means that she may be able to obtain a building permit in 2008. Noting that it seems as though the amendment will eventually occur anyway,Ms. Schultz asked Council to expedite the process so she can build on her property sooner rather than later.

APPEAL: Planning &Development Committee Report re: Sunset Bluff 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.

He noted that legislation has been introduced to address this matter, and if passed, the changes felt in the criminal justice system as a result of the ruling will be reversed by the end of 2005. Mr. McGuire noted some personnel changes, which included the elimination of a Judicial Specialist position, the reclassification of a Judicial Specialist to a Judicial Specialist/Trainer, and the addition of a Probation Clerk position. He `r reviewed the court's revenues and expenditures for 2004, noting the revenue shortfall of$122,500 and the expenditure savings of$82,828. Mr. McGuire emphasized that the court uses its resources in the best way possible, and continues to find ways to be more efficient. 92 Renton Cit Council Minutes Page 92 March 21,2005 Y Continuing,Judge Jurado reported that another factor negatively affecting court revenues is a decision of the Washington State Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee regarding the collection of costs as a result of agreements with defendants. Due to the decision that the costs collection is unlawful, he noted that the agreements are no longer possible. Judge Jurado also reviewed the reasons for his finding that a portion of Renton's criminal trespass ordinance is unconstitutional. Responding to Mayor Keolker-Wheeler's inquiries,Judge Jurado described the traffic infraction calendar process, and explained the reasons why domestic violence cases are dismissed. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: Critical Areas accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Ordinance public hearing to consider Renton's Best Available Science critical areas regulations and Shoreline Master Program Growth Management Act integration proposal. Lisa Grueter,consultant with Jones & Stokes Associates, stated that the purpose of the proposal is to meet Growth Management Act (GMA) and Shoreline Management Act (SMA) mandates, as well as Renton's Comprehensive Plan and goals for critical area protection, taking into consideration Renton's urban and environmental context. She noted that the City's protection of critical areas is multifaceted, and includes City ownership of some sensitive lands,regional collaboration with other jurisdictions, capital improvement programming,and critical area regulations. Ms. Grueter reviewed F , the City's current regulations, and listed the steps that have been taken so far in the development of the proposal. mod In regard to the State requirements,Ms. Grueter explained that the GMA requires protection of the following critical areas: wetlands, areas with a critical recharging effect on aquifers used for potable water,fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, frequently flooded areas, and geologically hazardous areas. GMA also requires the use of Best Available Science(BAS) in City policies and regulations, which is defined as the use of information generated from a valid scientific process. The SMA requires that the Shoreline Management Program(SMP) be a part of the Comprehensive Plan, and that the City provide equivalent protection for shorelines of the State. She pointed out that the City must be able to demonstrate how BAS has been included in its plans and regulations. Ms. Grueter then reviewed the four main components of the City's proposal. 1. BAS Review. Ms. Grueter relayed that consultants conducted BAS literature reviews for both streams and wetlands. Additionally, an example code comparison was conducted on aquifer recharge, flood hazards,geologic hazards, and procedures. 2. Policy Amendments. Ms. Grueter noted the movement of the SMP policies to the Comprehensive Plan land use and environment elements. She also noted the addition of two shoreline topics,and the restructuring of the shoreline use priority policies. Ms. Grueter indicated that the environment element is the City's main focus, with its rivers and stream policies and floodplain policies. ..r March 21,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 93 93 3. SMP Map Amendments. Ms. Grueter explained that the amendments address the map and text inconsistencies on the Black River, address the unclassified areas on the Cedar River, and clarify interpretation of aquatic environments. 4. Regulation Amendments. In regard to streams, Ms. Grueter stated that a stream classification system, stream buffers, and stream mitigation standards are proposed with the following principles: no net loss of stream function; inner and outer buffers (standard un-enhanced buffers and reduced buffers with enhancements); and standard and flexible review processes. She then reviewed the class system for water types as follows: Class 1 -Shorelines of the State (Salmonid Bearing) -Lake Washington, May Creek, Cedar River,Black River, Springbrook Creek. Class 2 -Salmonid Bearing Stream-Examples are portions of Honey Creek, Maplewood Creek, and Panther Creek. Class 3 -Year Round,Non-Salmonid Bearing-Examples are Kennydale Creek, and Rolling Hills Creek. Class 4 -Intermittent,Non-Salmonid Bearing-Examples are portions of Maplewood Creek and Gypsy Creek. Class 5 -Artificial, Non-Salmonid Bearing-Where no natural channel existed before. For the critical areas regulations, Ms. Grueter illustrated the processes for the different regulations and stream types using flow charts. She pointed out that Class 1 is different because it is in the SMP, and therefore administrated differently since it is a shared responsibility with the State. There are no shoreline exemptions in Class 1; some are exempt from a permit but none are exempt from the requirements. Additionally, Ms. Grueter used examples of already developed sites to further illustrate the processes. Continuing with the regulation amendments, Ms. Grueter explained that for the wetlands approach, the regulations retain the current wetland class system; retain standard buffers,but require that all proposals review whether criteria are met for increased buffers; and modify some exemptions to reduce potential for cumulative impacts. She reported that consultant Parametrix who conducted the initial BAS review, also assessed the characteristics of 17 representative wetlands in Renton and its Potential Annexation Area, and compared the City's and the Department of Ecology's differing methods of classifying wetlands and establishing buffers to protect existing functions and values. Ms. Grueter stated that the consultant determined that the City's classification system-together with its buffer requirements, its process to determine whether there is criteria that shows when a wider than standard buffer is appropriate, and its other code requirements -is sufficient to protect functions and values of wetlands in the City. She noted that minor regulation amendments are also proposed for the other critical areas. Moving on, Ms. Grueter stated that comments were received over time from State agencies, interest groups, and property owners. Responses to the .om comments included pointing out the flexibility of the regulations, or recommending additional supplemental amendments. She noted that the responses and supplemental recommendations concerned: existing and new March 21,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 94 development and streams and lakes, criteria for Class 1 water buffer reduction, wetland exemption, wetland buffers, wildlife habitat, and other housekeeping and clarification changes. In conclusion,Ms. Grueter reported that the next steps are for the Planning and ••d Development Committee to consider the comments from the public hearing, and then present its recommendations to the full Council in April. She pointed out that the State needs to approve the shoreline amendments; therefore, they will not immediately go into effect. Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator, said 1) the City is responding to the State's requirement to update the critical areas regulations, and 2) the City has taken an approach to balance the goals of protecting the shorelines and wetlands with the Growth Management Act, as development in urban areas needs to continue. Public comment was invited. Correspondence was read from John Mauro,Livable Communities Coalition Director, 1617 Boylston Ave., Suite 201, Seattle, 98122, suggesting five major improvements to the critical areas ordinance update concerning strengthening wetland protection, strengthening stream and riparian area protection, improving fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas protection, imposing substantive penalties for violations, and incorporating the "precautionary principle" that states that conservation planning should err on the side of protecting too much rather than protecting too little. Jerry Brennan, 3405 Lake Washington Blvd. N.,Renton, 98056, stated that he is one of many affected by the proposed change in buffers from 25 to 100 feet, and noted that BAS has changed over the approximately five years in which he a" has been trying to install a dock. He asked that Council not conduct second and final reading of the ordinance earlier than April 11th to allow him time to complete his project. Chuck Pillon, 15753 SE Renton-Issaquah Rd.,Renton, 98059, stated that he is a 24-year veteran of law enforcement and has studied the public safety issues affected by BAS. He indicated that large woody debris in rivers and streams is supported by BAS, and he expressed concerns regarding the potential hazards of these debris installations to swimmers, and the potential risks to governmental entities. Mr. Pillon suggested that caution be used when applying BAS,especially when it affects public safety. Becky Stanley, Conservation Chair for the Cascade Chapter of the Sierra Club. 4108 48th Ave. S., Seattle,98118, stated that Renton's critical areas ordinance does not adequately protect water quality, and she expressed concerns about the following: 1) the exemption from protection of all wetlands less than 2,200 square feet, 2)the protection of only three categories of habitat for fish and other wildlife, and 3) the stream and wetland buffers are not defensible as BAS. David Halinen, 10500 NE 8th St., Suite 1900,Bellevue,98004,expressed his opposition to the proposed changes to eliminate the Class 2 wetland exemption and to reduce the Class 3 wetland exemption. He indicated that conceptually, the smaller wetlands have a relatively de minimis effect on the environment, and the current exemptions were carefully considered and balanced with property rights issues. If the changes are made as recommended, Mr. Halinen �nrr -suggested that at a minimum, a 1,000 foot exemption for Class 2 wetlands be allowed. March 21,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 95 Jim Bonwell, 9616 146th Ave. SE,Renton, 98055, stated that his property contains a Class 1 stream and salmon, and a wetland is located to the east of his property. He expressed concerns regarding the way property is developed, and Nowproperty. the effect a nearby horse farm has on a wetland located downstream from it. Mr. Bonwell pointed out that people must pay attention to how their property maintenance and development practices affect the water quality, habitat, and vegetation on his and other properties. In response to Councilman Clawson's inquiry regarding large woody debris, Andy Kindig,consultant with A.C. Kindig & Co., stated that the placement of woody debris usually has to do with a restoration project, which is not within the confines of the critical areas ordinance. Mr. Clawson indicated that characterizing the critical areas ordinance as an endangerment to children who swim is unreasonable. Councilman Persson stated that if someone is already in the process of obtaining a permit,the old rules still apply. City Attorney Larry Warren said that is generally true; however,depending on whether the development regulations or the environmental regulations are involved, an exception could be raised. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Clawson presented a report Appeal: Sunset Bluff regarding the appeals filed by SR 900 LLC and Herons Forever on the Sunset Preliminary Plat, SR 900 LLC Bluff Preliminary Plat(PP-04-002). The Committee heard this appeal on " &Herons Forever, PP-04-002 3/17/2005. After reviewing the record, the written presentations by both parties, and having heard oral argument, the Committee found that there were no substantial errors in fact or law and recommended that the full Council affirm the Hearing Examiner's decision with the following clarifications: 1. The Hearing Examiner at conclusion#9 on page 22 of his report and recommendation urged the City Council to deny the plat because it does not take advantage of the natural amenities of the site in a suitable fashion and does not do nearly enough to attempt to protect the nearby Heron colony from the proposed plat development impacts. However, the Hearing Examiner in his recommendation suggests that if the Council approves the plat,certain conditions should be applied. The plat should be approved according to the conditions set forth in the Hearing Examiner's report and recommendation as set forth in conditions 1-15 on pages 22 and 23. 2. There is some confusion about the fencing. Fencing is recommended in item 9 of the conditions to the Hearing Examiner's recommendation and again in item 12 of the Hearing Examiner's conditions. These two conditions can be satisfied by two fences, one separating the residences from the drainage pond, and a second fence at the toe of the slope at the property line between the subject property generally to the south. 3. Recommendation#4 on page 2 of the Hearing Examiner's report should be amended to read: "The applicant shall hydroseed any open space with native forbs, shrubs, wildflowers, trees, and shrubs. This will help reduce the temporal impact of the clearing, by planting materials that already have some size to them. Renton Cit Council Minutes Page 96 96 March 21,2005 Y This will also introduce trees back into the mix, which are necessary for adequate buffering. Trees in the mix should also help stabilize the steep, regraded slope. The plantings should be monitored for a minimum of five to ten years to ensure that they are established. Plants that do not survive MW should be replanted. The plant mix should contain a mix of both deciduous trees (for heron nest materials) and coniferous (for screening).

He noted that PSRC annually recognizes projects that best demonstrate growth management and this is the fourth VISION 2020 award bestowed upon Renton within the past five years. Mr. Pietch stated that the project was completed in 2003 and 2004 and involved a significant amount of research due in part to the Airport's urban location. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Vacation: N 14th St, Pool accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Brothers Construction, VAC- public hearing to consider the Pool Brothers Construction,LLC petition to 05-001 vacate an approximately 300-foot-long and 30-foot-wide portion of N. 14th St., located east of Lake Washington Blvd. N. and Gene Coulon Beach Park(VAC- 05-001).

She relayed that according to the petitioner, a larger lot will be created to allow for more attractive landscaping and for development in a manner consistent with the City's vision of the lakefront area. Ms. McFarland pointed out that the vacation area does not contain any City facilities. She also pointed out that no objections were raised when the ..,.M vacation request was circulated to City departments and outside agencies. In conclusion,Ms. McFarland stated that staff recommends approval of the requested vacation. April 4,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 107 .107 Public comment was invited. Michael Luna, Sadler/Barnard &Assoc., Inc., 12714 Valley Ave. E., Sumner, INOW 98390, stated that he represents the petitioner and is available to answer questions. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL APPROVE THE REQUEST TO VACATE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. CARRIED. Annexation: Maplewood This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Addition, Maple Valley Hwy accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the public hearing to consider the 60% Notice of Intent to annex petition and R-8 zoning for the proposed Maplewood Addition Annexation; 60.5 acres, including the abutting SR-169 right-of-way,bounded on the north by Maple Valley Hwy. (SR-169), and on the west, south, and east by the north shore of the Cedar River. Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that the annexation area contains 161 single-family homes and abuts Renton on its north, west, and a portion of its southern boundary. He pointed out that the area is included in the proposed Fairwood Incorporation, and explained that Fairwood proponents filed their 10% incorporation petition on 2/1/2005, which creates a 90-day window (until 5/1/2005)to file the Notice of Intent to annex package with the Boundary Review Board (BRB). Mr. Erickson stated that filing of the Notice of Intent to annex package will allow the BRB to conduct a joint review of the proposed annexation and incorporation. He noted that failure to meet the 90-day window precludes future annexation to Renton if the Fairwood Incorporation is successful. Continuing, Mr. Erickson explained that the topography of the site is essentially flat above the Cedar River bank and virtually the entire site, with the exception of the lots north of SE 149th St., is located within the flood hazard boundary. He reviewed the existing public services as follows: • Fire District#25 provides fire service and will continue to do so if the area is annexed. However, water pressure is an issue. • Maplewood Water Cooperative provides water service and will continue to do so if the area is annexed. • The area is not currently served by sewer but is located within Renton's designative sewer service area. Residents are not required to convert from septic to sewer upon annexation. • The area is within the Renton School District. Mr. Erickson indicated that the annexation site is zoned R-6 (six dwelling units per gross acre) under King County. Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Single Family, for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. He noted that the City is reviewing a possible change in designation to Residential Low Density, for which concurrent zoning is R-4(four dwelling units per net acre). " Renton Cit Council Minutes Page 108 April 2005 Y Mr. Erickson reviewed the fiscal impact analysis assuming 161 single-family homes in the area, and pointed out that the annual estimated cost to the City is $40,304. If all property owners decide to upgrade to sewer, the annual estimated City cost would be$35,386. Mr. Erickson stated that the proposed annexation is consistent with BRB objectives and with City annexation policies. He noted the adequate level of parks,the costly and ongoing flood control challenge,the aging infrastructure, and the larger than normal annual subsidy. In conclusion, he reported that staff recommends the petition be accepted and that staff be authorized to invoke the BRB's jurisdiction in order to consider possible expansion of the proposed annexation area's boundaries if this is justified in terms of creating more reasonable service areas and reducing the City's cost in servicing the area. Public comment was invited. Bob Johnson, 15016 131st Ave. SE,Renton, 98058, expressed his disappointment with the method of processing the 60% petition. His concerns included the turning in of documents beyond the petition deadline, the proponent's access to letters rescinding signatures, the method of signature collection, and the delay in the availability of the petition and rescind letters to others. In response to Council President Briere's inquiry regarding his position on the annexation,Mr. Johnson stated that he favors whatever the majority of the community wants, and he felt the majority wants to remain in unincorporated King County. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that unfortunately due to State laws regarding growth management, it is unlikely the area will remain unincorporated. Mr. Erickson pointed out that under State law, the proponents have as long as it takes to gather signatures; however, any signature older than six months must be removed from the petition. He explained that a tentative deadline had been established for the submittal of the petition to allow the City time to process the annexation within the 90-day window, as the City must submit the intent to annex package to the BRB by May 1st. Brian Lowery, 13112 SE 150th St.,Renton, 98058, relayed Lenora Blauman's (BRB Executive Secretary)comments at a recent Fairwood Task Force meeting regarding the BRB's simultaneous review of the annexation and incorporation petitions, and the Fairwood Incorporation feasibility study. He indicated that due to a lack of information, people may not have understood the purpose of the 60% petition. Mr.Lowery concluded that the whole process has been confusing and it has divided the community. Responding to Council President Briere's inquiry as to his position, Mr. Lowery stated that he prefers to stay within King County and expressed his displeasure with the land value based petition. Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch explained that if the City did not accept the 60% petition and the Fairwood Incorporation was successful, this area will be included in the City of Fairwood. He opined that it is unlikely that the Maplewood community can convince the BRB to exclude it from the City of Fairwood if the annexation petition is denied. Mr. Pietsch Now acknowledged that the process is very complicated, and reiterated that the only way the annexation proposal can be reviewed by the BRB in conjunction with April 4,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 109 109 the incorporation proposal is if the 60%petition is accepted and staff is authorized to ask the BRB, to invoke its jurisdiction. Tom Judd, 13004 SE 151st St., Renton, 98058, pointed out that even if the vow Maplewood area is incorporated or stays within King County, Renton will still provide the public services. Mr. Judd expressed his support for the annexation, noting that there will be additional benefits to the area if annexed to Renton. Linda Gibson, 15031 135th Ave. SE, Renton, 98058, stated that she is against annexation to Renton and wants to stay in King County. She expressed her disappointment in the process used to acquire signatures, and noted the need for more time to clear up the negative information that has been circulated throughout the community. Additionally she stated that the Department of Health verified the soundness of the area's water system, and verified that the area does not have any more problems with its septic systems than any other location. Stephanie Lorenz, 13515 SE Maple Valley Rd.,Renton, 98058, stated that she is a proponent of the annexation effort, and submitted documentation showing what information the proponents have been circulating. In response to speaker Bob Johnson's comments, she explained that she acquired her knowledge about the rescinded petition signatures before the petition was filed. In response to the inquiry from Dave Alexander, 15036 135th Ave. SE,Renton, 98058,regarding the subject area's options,Mr. Pietsch explained that if Council asks the BRB to invoke jurisdiction, the BRB will conduct an in-depth review of the boundaries to determine what is best for the Maplewood area. He pointed out that the review will include the Fairwood Incorporation feasibility study, and that citizens can testify before the BRB. Responding to Mr. Alexander's inquiry regarding whether the annexation can be stopped, Mr. Pietsch stated that it can be stopped by Council not accepting the petition. However, if the petition is forwarded to the BRB, it is impossible to predict what action that body will take. In response to the Mayor's question regarding the possibility of a special election for the Maplewood Area, Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes stated that the BRB does not have a procedure in place by which that can be accomplished. Responding to Council President Briere's inquiry regarding his position on the annexation proposal,Mr. Alexander stated that he wants to know which option is best for the neighborhood. Mr. Pietsch reported that he met one time with the Fairwood Incorporation Taskforce, and relayed that he had suggested that the Maplewood area be removed from the incorporation boundary. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that it is frustrating to have something outside of the City's jurisdiction and the Maplewood area's jurisdiction driving this process. Judy Anders, 13133 SE 149th St.,Renton, 98058, noted that she is a proponent of the annexation, and thanked City staff for their help throughout this process. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

He "ad Herons Forever,PP-04-002 further requested that condition#3 be changed from stating: "The applicant shall not use any agents to dry or stabilize the soils that would alter the pH of the soils." to "The applicant shall not use soil amendments to achieve compaction standards that would alter the pH of the site's soils without the State of Washington Department of Ecology's prior approval of Best Management Practices for the particular soil amendments to be used." Continuing, Mr. Halinen commented on the following: the previous Sunset Bluff project appeal in which Council reversed the Hearing Examiner's decision to require an EIS (Environmental Impact Statement); the applicant's view that the record does not support seasonal timing limitations on construction; and the fact that this project would not fall under seasonal construction limitations if it were located in King County. Mr. Halinen pointed out that if Council agreed to change these two conditions now, the applicant would not appeal any of the project's conditions of approval to Superior Court. Citizen Comment: Merlino- Don Merlino, 1915 Maple Valley Hwy.,Renton, 98055, stated that he is the Sunset Bluff Preliminary Plat owner and contractor of the Sunset Bluff project, and explained that the project Appeal, SR 900 LLC& requires a large amount of excavation,embankment compaction, and clearing.

Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes noted that the deadline for filing an appeal under the Land Use Petition Act(LUPA) in Superior Court for SR 900 LLC and Herons Forever is next Monday.

She affirmed that Council's options include: reconsider the matter this evening, postpone reconsideration until next week, or not reconsider the matter at all. In response to Councilman Clawson's inquiry regarding the timing of the appeals and the reconsideration,Ms. Fontes noted that the parties can voluntarily withdraw their LUPA appeals.

APPEALS: Planning &Development Committee Reports re: a. Amberwood Phase II Preliminary Plat b. Park Place 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. SIAM 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 these appeals. The parties to the appeals 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.

The Committee heard this appeal on 4/7/2005. i PP-04-117 After reviewing the record, the written appeal and hearing oral argument, and having heard about background from staff, the Committee found that the evidence submitted by the appellant justifies partially reversing the Hearing Examiner and granting R-4 zoning for this parcel with R-5 density and development standards. The Committee therefore recommended that the Council change the zoning on this parcel from R-1 to R-4, and approve the preliminary plat with a density of 17 lots subject to the following changes in the Hearing Examiner's report and recommendation: 1. Findings should be added on page 6 of the Hearing Examiner's report and recommendations, those findings to read: 25. The issue of zoning this property to R-5 was submitted to the voters as part of the annexation vote. The R-5 zoning was defeated in that vote. Subsequently, the Council received letters from two of the voters indicating that they were confused and wished to vote for the R-5 zoning. These two votes, if they had voted for R-5, would have resulted in a favorable vote for R-5. However, the vote was over and complete and the Council was compelled to rezone the property to R-1, when it was annexed. However, the Council did encourage the property owners to approach the City about a rezone to R-5. Before that progress was complete, the City had eliminated the R-5 zone and rezoned all R-5 zoned property to R-4. 26. At the time the application for rezone was filed, it should have been reviewed under residential low density policies LU-26 through LU-33.1, not the R-4 overlay policies nor the new Comprehensive Plan policies for 2004. The new text that sets up the R-4 zoning does not apply to this parcel as the parcel is excluded from the hatched area in the zoning map that follows policy LU-33.5. Exclusion of this parcel was done intentionally, in 2003, because a number of properties were annexing and a commitment was made for R-5 zoning to those parcels, including the subject parcel. At the same time, the Council was making policy commitments to the residents of the potential annexation area supporting a downzoned R-4 for the remainder of the area upon annexation. This led to the creation of an overlay with a low-density designation but only mapping the overlay where there were not existing commitments. In 2004, the Comprehensive Plan was again amended to eliminate the overlay, rescind the R-5 zone, and use R-4 zoning exclusively to implement these policies. 2. Even if this property was not excluded from the R-4 zoning, as set forth in the overlay map, it would be excluded from the R-4 density and development standards because of Renton Ordinance 5100, Section XIII, page 26, which states in relevant part: "For properties vested with a complete plat application prior to 11/10/2004, and for the Mosier Il, Maplewood East, and Anthone', the following standards apply. Vested plats must be developed within five years of preliminary plat approval and/or annexation. Maximum density-5 dwelling units per acre." As stated in finding 24, the applicant submitted the application to change the zoning from R-1 to R-5 prior to the date of 11/10/2004. 124 April 11,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 124 The conclusions of the Hearing Examiner for the rezone should be modified as follows: 1. Conclusion 1, the last sentence should be amended by adding the phrase "but should approve R-4 zoning subject to R-5 density and development regulations." 2. Conclusion 3 should be modified. All of that conclusion after the fourth sentence should be stricken and it its place substituted the following: "For the reasons set forth in findings of fact 25, 26, and 27, R-4 zoning should be approved, subject to R-5 density and development standards." 3. Conclusions 4, 5, 6, 9, and 11 should be stricken. 4. Conclusion 10 should be amended by striking the last sentence thereof. The Hearing Examiner's conclusions concerning the preliminary plat should be modified as follows: 1. Conclusion 12 should be stricken and in its place the following language should be added: "The proposed preliminary plat is appropriate based on the rezone of this parcel to R-4 with R-5 density and development standards." 2. Conclusion 13 should be modified by changing the term R-4 to R-5. 3. Conclusion 19 should be stricken. In the Hearing Examiner's recommendations starting on page 9, the following changes should be made: now 1. The preamble to the recommendations should be stricken and in its place should be added the following language: "The City Council should reclassify the subject's site from R-1 to R-4, subject to R-5 density and development standards." "The City Council should approve the 17-lot preliminary plat subject to the following conditions:" 2. Recommendation 3 should be modified by adding at the end of that sentence the phrase "If possible,because of the small lots." 3. Recommendation 7 on page 10 should be modified by adding the phrase "The applicant shall comply with the R-4 landscaping requirements." MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Appeal: Park Place Planning and Development Committee Chair Clawson presented a report Preliminary Plat,Heritage regarding the appeal filed by Heritage Homes on the Park Place Preliminary Homes,PP-04-126 Plat(PP-04-126). The Committee heard this appeal on 4/7/2005. The appellant argued that the City should consider only the one lot that it sought to subdivide. However, this lot was part of a larger lot, which had been platted within the last five years. According to City Code,the entire parcel must be replatted. If the entire parcel is replatted, the replat would be denser than permitted by City Code. 125 April 11,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 125 Therefore, the Committee recommended that the Council affirm the decision of the Hearing Examiner and deny the replat. MOVED BY CLAWSON, .� SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. 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 2005 and beyond. Items noted included: • The Renton Public Library is looking for regular library users to join the Friends of the Library group to help promote library use in the community. • The economic recovery is alive and well in the City of Renton, with businesses adding 2,470 more employees to their employment rosters between October 31st and December 31st in 2004. Business license records compiled at the end of March, 2005, indicate that in the last quarter of 2004, nine of the City's ten largest private employers increased the number of employees by a combined 1,090. • April is Disaster Preparedness Month in Washington and a good time to review personal preparedness plans. Call the Renton Fire Department for information including free disaster preparedness presentations, handouts, display kits, and audio-visual presentations. • The City is taking proactive steps to handle code violations.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Jim Codling, 1123 4th Ave. N., Kent, 98032, asked if the City reached a Citizen Comment: Codling - decision regarding the request to reduce its costs related to the upcoming Gene Coulon Park Hydroplane hydroplane race at Gene Coulon Beach Park. Race Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer, explained that in review of the costs, staff adhered to Council's directive that any City costs associated with the boat race event be reimbursed. The review was based on last year's estimates, and information from the event organizers regarding this year's event. Noting the original cost estimate of$9,400, Mr. Covington indicated that the City can still recover its costs and lost revenue by charging event organizers $3,730. He pointed out that the City is not assigning extra emergency service personnel based on the commitment by event organizers that adequate fire protection will be provided, and based on their past well-run events. CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing.

Council: Filling Council Council President Briere presented a Committee of the Whole report regarding Vacancies Policy (#800-10) the update to Council Policy and Procedure#800-10, Filling Council Vacancies. The Committee reviewed the policy and recommended revisions to allow Council the option, prior to selecting a candidate as the new councilmember, of whether or not to conduct interviews of person(s) who submit a letter of interest. This change will allow Council to select or interview,by majority vote, only a selected candidate or candidates,rather than requiring that all persons submitting a letter of interest be interviewed. The Committee also recommended that the Council President be authorized to sign revised Policy and Procedure#800-10 to implement this change. MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.* Councilman Clawson stated that instead of having a mandatory public now interview of all applicants, the new process affords Council the ability to interview only a selected applicant or applicants. He emphasized that it is April 11,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 127 127 important for the public to know that Council will consider everyone who applies. Mr. Clawson explained that as Renton grows, the number of applicants may also grow, and it is difficult to conduct quality interviews with such a large number of people. He pointed out that if someone has the interest and the background to merit an interview, Council will take a good look at them whether they are known to the Council or not. Mr. Clawson concluded by expressing his support for the revised policy. Councilman Corman stated that if there were a vacancy on the Council, a person who is interested in the position can always address Council during the audience comment portion of the Council meeting. He noted that the policy change does not shut off the ability of citizens to express their interest to Council. Councilman Clawson added that interested citizens can also contact Council via mail,e-mail, and telephone. *MOTION CARRIED. Planning & Development Planning and Development Committee Chair Clawson presented a report Committee regarding compensation for the McLendon Hardware street vacation (VAC-04- Vacation: Alley,Burnett Ave 004), located east of Burnett Ave. S. and north of S. 2nd St. The Committee S &S 2nd St, McLendon recommended concurrence in the staff recommendation to accept the appraisal Hardware, VAC-04-004 for the portion of the City alley, accept the appraisal for the 20-foot right-of- way dedication, set compensation at$25,500 for the alley vacation, and accept the dedication in lieu of a part of the cash compensation that would be paid for the alley vacation. Since City Code calls for the difference between the appraised values of$25,500 to be paid to the petitioner, the monies due the City from the petitioner would be zero. Accordingly, the monies due the petitioner from the City would also be zero. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Planning: Critical Areas Planning and Development Committee Chair Clawson presented a report Ordinance regarding the critical areas regulations. The Committee has studied the documents prepared by City staff and the consultants, including but not limited to,best available science reviews,proposed policy, map, and regulation amendments, and public comments and responses. The Committee concurred with the staff recommended approach, and in particular finds that: The City's program for "Best Available Science Critical Areas Regulations and Shoreline Master Program GMA(Growth Management Act) Integration, Featuring New Stream, River, and Lake Regulations" focuses primarily on new stream and lake, and shoreline buffers, which are designed to develop standard stream and lake and shoreline buffer widths that would result in no net loss of functions and values. Further, to provide incentives to restore degraded buffer conditions, the City's proposed critical areas update allows for both standard and flexible review processes, so that applications proposing to substantially improve functions and values may be allowed to reduce buffer widths with added site-specific studies and mitigation. Regarding wetlands, in most cases, the City expects that the standard wetland buffers will be sufficient to protect the functions and values of wetlands. However, the proposal also recognizes: 1)Renton's proposed code would widen buffers as needed to preserve all functions and values (including wildlife); 2)Renton has performed reconnaissance of its wetlands (and streams) and does understand to a greater degree the functions and values and categories of streams and wetlands in its jurisdiction, increasing confidence in its code structure to protect functions and values by lowering 128 April 11,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 128 risk; 3)Renton's areas of linked wildlife habitat are limited to those areas where the City has been active in its purchases of wetlands and wetland banks and property along Springbrook Creek, May Creek, and the Black River. The City continues to be active in habitat protection and restoration Now as evidenced in its Capital Improvement Program 2005 to 2010;4) Recognizing another concentration of higher value wetlands is found in the Soos Creek vicinity outside of the City limits, Renton has added a policy to do cooperative basin planning for the Soos Creek watershed should annexation be imminent. The Committee recommended that the City Attorney's office prepare ordinances, and that the City Council take action as follows: • Approve the recommended Shoreline Master Program amendments including policies, maps, and regulations dated 1/26/2005 with all supplemental recommendations and edits based on staff recommendations and responses to comments through 3/31/2005. • Approve the critical areas regulations amendments and related City Code Title IV amendments dated 1/26/2005 with all supplemental recommendations and edits based on staff recommendations and responses to comments through 3/31/2005.

PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Akers Farms, accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the 108th Ave SE&SE 164th St public meeting to consider the 10%Notice of Intent to annex petition for the proposed Akers Farms Annexation; 10.84 acres bounded by 108th Ave. SE, if extended, on the west, 109th Ave. SE, if extended, on the east, SE 160th St., if extended, on the north, and SE 164th St. on the south. Don Erickson, Senior Planner,noted that staff recommends the expansion of the annexation boundaries to include the abutting SE 164th St. right-of-way, as well as the abutting 2.46-acre parcel to the east. He explained that the area contains four single-family dwellings, and slopes down to the north at a 3% slope. The site also contains an unclassified coal mine hazard area. Regarding the public services,Mr. Erickson stated that the site is within Fire District#40, the water service area of the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District, the sewer service area of Renton and the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District, and the Renton School District. ...d Mr. Erickson indicated that existing King County zoning is R-8 (eight dwelling units per gross acre). The Renton Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Residential Single Family, which allows for R-8 (eight dwelling units per net April 18,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 137 137 acre) zoning. He reported that despite the smaller than normal annexation area, the limitation of future development to 69 or fewer lots, and the poor connectivity to Renton because of a power line corridor, the annexation proposal provides a potential catalyst for annexing a larger area to the east, and facilitates upgrading a portion of Benson Hill under Renton's development standards. Continuing, Mr. Erickson reported that the fiscal impact analysis indicates a deficit of$2,007 at current development, and a surplus of$2,226 at full development. He noted the estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost of$36,564. In conclusion,Mr. Erickson stated that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City policies and Boundary Review Board criteria. He noted the potential downstream flooding of Rolling Hills Creek, and staffs suggestion for Level 2 flow control for new development. He also noted that while no major service issues were identified, the Police Department pointed out the eventual need for more staffing due to the cumulative impact of recent annexations. Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED.

Dave Christensen,Utility Engineering Supervisor, reported that City facilities contained within the right-of-way area include a sewer main and water line, and the area is part of a stormwater drainage corridor. He explained that the petitioner plans to use the right-of-way in the proposed Sixth Street Short Plat for development of the adjacent parcels. Mr. Christensen pointed out that the petition did not receive any objections from City departments and outside agencies; however, the Utilities Systems Division requested that an easement be retained over the entire right-of-way, and that grading and filling not be allowed within the easement area. He indicated that Puget Sound Energy may have facilities within the vacation area. In conclusion, Mr. Christensen stated that staff recommends approval of the vacation request.

Page 150 April 25,2005 Renton City Council Minutes 150 Pab Community Services Majority Report: Community Services Committee Chair Nelson presented a Committee Maiority Report majority report regarding pet strolling at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. Community Services: The Committee majority recommended concurrence in the Board of Park Allowing Pets in Gene Coulon Commissioner's and staff recommendation to not change the current park rules low Park and regulations stipulating that dogs are not allowed at parks with swimming beaches. The majority feels the presence of pets at heavily used parks such as Gene Coulon Park could be disturbing to some patrons. In addition, it could be difficult to enforce park rules and keep the park environment clean and healthy, as not all pet owners comply with park rules to clean up after their pets. Fire Station#15, located at 1404 N. 30th St., will be used on an experimental basis as an off-leash dog park facility. Dogs will continue to be allowed in the remaining 43 park and open space areas as well as on all trail systems January through December. Several of the sites provide access to the Cedar River where dogs are allowed in the water. MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE MAJORITY COMMITTEE REPORT.* Councilwoman Nelson stated that at the Community Services Committee meeting, all seven citizens present indicated their preference for not allowing dogs at Gene Coulon Park. Ms. Nelson also stated her preference that dogs should not be allowed in the park due to health reasons. Councilwoman Palmer recommended allowing leashed dogs at Gene Coulon Park during certain months and in the area north of the northern-most restroom, which is away from the swimming beaches. She explained that these types of restrictions have been successful at Newcastle Beach Park. Community Services Minority Report: Community Services Committee Vice Chair Palmer Committee Minority Report presented a minority report regarding pet strolling at Gene Coulon Memorial Community Services: Beach Park. The Committee minority recommended that the Park Rules and Allowing Pets in Gene Coulon Regulations be modified to allow for the designation and accommodation of pet Park strolling at parks with swimming beaches. Pets will be allowed in parks with swimming beaches during the months of October through April, so long as the pet is under the owner's control and on a leash no longer than eight feet in length. At Gene Coulon Park,pets will be allowed to use the area north of the northern-most restroom facility. In all instances, pets will not be allowed in the sandy beach area or in the water due to health concerns. It will be the responsibility of the pet owner to pick up and dispose of pet debris in order to maintain the park in a clean and healthy condition. Fire Station#15, located at 1404 N. 30th St., will be used on an experimental basis as an off-leash dog park facility. Dogs will continue to be allowed in the remaining 43 park and open space areas as well as on all trail systems January through December. Several of these sites provide access to the Cedar River where dogs are allowed in the water. Councilman Clawson stated that while the modifications to the park rules sound reasonable, in practice they would be difficult to follow. He expressed his support for keeping Gene Coulon Park dog free, and for the off-leash dog park facility proposed on N. 30th St. wr April 25,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 151 151 Councilman Law favored the minority report, saying that the park is used less during the off-season months and it is worthwhile putting the proposed rule modifications to the test. He stated that people should not be punished for those who violate the rules and do not clean up after their dogs. Councilman Persson stressed that people must understand that the proposed off- leash dog area at Fire Station#15 is temporary and that the site will eventually be used as a fire station. Councilwoman Nelson pointed out that the proposed off-leash dog site is experimental, and if it does work out, the Parks Department will look into putting similar small off-leash dog parks elsewhere. Councilman Corman suggested that the proposed off-leash dog park be referred to as temporary, and that signage be installed identifying the site as a temporary dog park and a future fire station. Councilwoman Palmer noted that both Committee reports propose the off-leash dog park at Fire Station#15, and she agreed with the signage suggestion. *MOTION CARRIED TO ADOPT THE MAJORITY COMMITTEE REPORT.

Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch stated that three pre-applications have been submitted within the past two months. He explained that the City needs time to develop new standards that reflect the City's vision for the area, which includes allowing higher densities to stimulate a larger redevelopment effort, and that subdividing lots at lower densities is inconsistent with that vision.

CALL TO ORDER AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 2. ROLL CALL 3. SPECIAL PRESENTATION: Teen Program 4. APPEAL: Planning &Development Committee Report re: Ridgeview Court 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. 5. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 6. 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.)

He reported that the Renton Programs neighborhood centers offer drop-in activities for teens, attracting between 70 to 160 participants each day. Mr. Puthoff highlighted activities such as the Hip Hop Dance program, horseback riding, ski trips,rock climbing, overnight campouts, and the Great Escapes Teen Camp. Continuing,Mr. Puthoff explained that the Renton Youth Council program is rr comprised of approximately 100 members, and a large part of the program is volunteerism. The Renton Youth Council participates in community awareness projects, and organizes activities such as the flashlight egg hunt and citywide dances. Additionally,the Renton Youth Council is involved with the Renton Youth Enrichment and Support Fund project, which awards grants to local area youth groups, and with the Eastside Youth Hall of Fame, which is a joint project with various cities that recognizes outstanding teens. APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Clawson presented a report Planning & Development regarding the appeal filed by Cliff Williams, Ridgeview Court, LLC, on the Committee Ridgeview Court Preliminary Plat(PP-04-131). The Corrunittee heard this Appeal: Ridgeview Court appeal on 5/5/2005. After reviewing the record, the written appeal and hearing Preliminary Plat, Cliff oral argument, and having heard about the background of this project from staff Williams, PP-04-131 and receiving staffs recommendation, the Committee recommended that the Council find that the evidence submitted by the appellant justifies reversing the Hearing Examiner's recommendation concerning the plat, approving the plat, and approving the site plan. The Committee therefore recommended that the Council change the Hearing Examiner's recommendation, approve the preliminary plat, and approve the site plan with the following changes to the Hearing Examiner's report,recommendation and decision: 1. There should be added Finding 28 to read: "The Comprehensive Plan and zoning provided for a mixed-use area, which permitted residential development. Providing homeownership opportunities in all `w neighborhoods is a policy under the Comprehensive Plan. While it might be preferable to have a buffering use between the post office and the residential development, because of the separation from NE 4th St., there does not appear to be a viable current market for a buffering non-residential use. Since a residential use is permitted, and the plat has been designed to May 9,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 166 provide an elevation change between the post office and the residential properties, as well as additional setbacks, a fence and landscaping, the use is not only permitted, but is perhaps the only use that can currently be made of the property. Those persons that are sensitive to noise should be able to determine that the house they are considering buying backs up on a post office and that there will be some noise from the post office, and avoid making such a purchase." The Hearing Examiner's conclusions should be modified as follows: 1. Conclusion No. 1 is amended by striking the last two sentences. 2. Conclusion No. 2 is stricken in its entirety. 3. Conclusion No. 4 should be modified by striking the first three sentences thereof. 4. Conclusion No. 5 is modified by striking the last sentence thereof. 5. Conclusion No. 6 is modified by striking the last sentence thereof and substituting in its place "On balance,the public use and interest is served by this proposal." 6. Conclusion No. 7 is stricken in its entirety. 7. Conclusion No. 9, wherein the Hearing Examiner recommends that the Council deny the residential plat is reversed. 8. Conclusion No. 10 wherein the site plan is denied because of the denial of the plat is reversed and the Council instead accepts the Hearing Examiner's alternative decision on the site plan. mom 9. Conclusion No. 17 recommending denial of the proposed plat and site plan is reversed. 10. The Hearing Examiner's recommendation that the City Council should deny the proposed plat is reversed. 11. The Hearing Examiner's decision that the site plan is denied because of the recommended denial of the plat is reversed and the Hearing Examiner's alternative recommendation and decision is adopted. However, the Committee recommended that the masonry wall imposed as noise mitigation by the Hearing Examiner be eliminated and, in its place, there be installed a cedar fence, triple pane windows, and double insulation.

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 2005 and beyond.

Mr. O'Brien then reviewed the adult athletic programs, which Now include basketball, volleyball, and softball leagues. Bonnie Rerecich,Recreation Supervisor, addressed the growth and customer service aspect of the programs, noting the 76% growth in participation over the past four years. Mr. O'Brien noted the value of Renton athletics to the 176 May 16,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 176 community, which include health and wellness benefits, field scheduling and community partnerships, and economic benefits. In conclusion, Mr. O'Brien reported that the goal for the future of Renton athletics is to continue to maximize the City's resources while having a positive impact on the quality of low life in Renton. PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Merritt II, SE accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the May Valley Rd&Coal Creek public meeting to consider the boundaries,phased implementation, and R-1 and Parkway R4 zoning for the expanded Merritt II Annexation. The site is bounded by Lyons Ave. NE on the east; approximately SE 101st St., if extended, on the south; and the City of Renton boundary, SE 95th Way and 136th Ave. SE on the west. Senior Planner Don Erickson stated that Council accepted the 50% petition to annex in April 2004, and King County invoked the Boundary Review Board's jurisdiction in August 2004 requesting expansion of the boundaries from 20.6 acres to 133 acres. After holding hearings on the matter, the Boundary Review Board approved the expanded boundaries in February 2005. Mr. Erickson noted the 54 existing dwellings on the annexation site. He also noted that the site is served by the following public services: Water District #90, Coal Creek Utility District,Renton water,Fire Districts#10 and#25, and the Renton and Issaquah School Districts. He reported that the site's existing King County zoning is R-1 (one dwelling unit per gross acre) and R-4 (four dwelling units per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density, and it was prezoned R-1 (one dwelling unit per net acre) and R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre). ONO Continuing,Mr.Erickson reviewed the fiscal impact analysis, assuming a new home value of$500,000 and a potential of 96 single-family homes at full development. The City will realize a deficit of$11,417 at current development, and a deficit of$7,738 at full development. He noted that there is a deficiency of parks in the area, and that there are surface water issues related to May Creek. Mr. Erickson concluded that the proposed annexation is within the best interests and general welfare of the City, and furthers City business goals. Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch commented on the proposed phased implementation of the annexation,explaining that the purpose of the phasing has to do with King County's funding for a portion of the Duvall Ave. NE improvements project, which lies within the annexation area. He explained that the proposed ordinance authorizes the annexation in its entirety; however, the effective date of Phase II will be delayed for twelve months. Phase I encompasses approximately 74.87 acres of the subject area, and Phase II encompasses approximately 47.93 acres. Public comment was invited. Andrew Duffus, 9605 143rd Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, voiced his support for the annexation. He expressed his concern regarding non-conforming non-legal uses in the subject area, and recommended that the City address the matter of illegal businesses. Jean Rollins,9605 143rd Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, stated that she favored the Mi mi annexation. Ms. Rollins expressed her fears regarding the area's surface water problems, and the impact of future development. She stressed that the City 177 May 16,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 177 must be very strict in the implementation of its codes and regulations, especially those that will relieve the serious and complex surface water issues. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL: SUPPORT R-1 ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE 1998 PREZONING OF THE SITE; SUPPORT R-4 ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE 1998 PREZONING OF THIS SITE TO R-5; ACCEPT THE MERRITT Il EXPANDED ANNEXATION; AND CONCURRENTLY IMPOSE R-1 AND R-4 ZONING ON PARCELS A AND B IN PHASE I CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. CARRIED. (See pages 183 for ordinances.) PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: Highlands Sub-Area accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Plan Study Area Moratorium public hearing to consider the six-month moratorium on new development in the R-10 (Residential - 10 dwelling units per acre) and RM-F(Residential Multi-Family) zones in the Highlands Sub-Area Plan study area generally located between Aberdeen Ave. NE and Monroe Ave. NE, and between NE 23rd St. and NE 5th Pl. Rebecca Lind,Planner Manager, explained that the City is beginning a new sub-area planning process for the Highlands that will result in land use actions and densities needed for redevelopment. This is in line with the 2005 Business Plan. The purpose of the moratorium is to provide time for staff to: develop policies and new development standards; conduct a public outreach program; and gain property owner, business owner, and resident input and support for the plan. Ms. Lind reported the staff recommendation to exclude Renton School District property at Hillcrest School from the moratorium, and noted that the resolution has been revised to that effect. Continuing,Ms. Lind indicated that the subject area's current zoning does not allow the higher densities needed to stimulate a larger redevelopment effort. Some existing lots are large enough to subdivide at lower densities, which perpetuate a land use pattern inconsistent with the adopted City goals and vision for the Center Village Land Use Designation. She stated that the current R-10 zoning allows single-family detached uses in areas that will be evaluated for higher density as part of the Highlands Area Sub-Area Plan. The current RM-F zoning allows piecemeal development of underutilized parcels that undermines implementation of the overall development effort. Ms. Lind stated that staff recommends continuing the six-month moratorium, with review in October. She reported that the study area includes R-8 single- family neighborhoods and commercially zoned areas that encourage mixed-use residential and commercial development at higher densities. She noted that the moratorium does not include these areas, and does not affect commercial businesses or mixed-use projects. Ms. Lind concluded that a moratorium is needed for the following reasons: to provide time to develop new standards that reflect the City's vision for the Highlands, and to work with property owners to implement its goals; to relieve pressure from immediate development in the area; and to improve the City's ability to market property as a result of the new zoning and policy directions. 178 May 16,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 178 Councilman Corman noted that live fire training is to be conducted on a duplex in the vicinity of Kirkland Ave. NE and NE 16th St., and he inquired if the potential redevelopment of the property will be affected by the moratorium. Ms. Lind stated that she will investigate the matter. Public comment was invited. Kathleen Ossenkop, 3316 NE 12th St.,Renton, 98056, stated that she has lived in the area since 1966, and she enjoys her unique street and current life style. She noted the existence of covenants registered with King County in 1949 that limit each parcel on her block to 6,000 square feet. Ms. Ossenkop expressed her concern that increasing the density will negatively affect the quality of life of the residents. Pointing out that the City does not have the infrastructure to support high densities and that more single-family residences are needed, she recommended that the area's zoning remain the same. Iris Adams, 1209 Monroe Ave. NE,Renton, 98056, pointed out that she has lived in the area since 1965, and stated that she is against high density and wants the single-family housing to remain. She also expressed concern about the potential of high-density development on a property that neighbors hers. Councilman Corman stated that the point of the study is to evaluate the density levels. As a Highlands resident, he relayed that he is interested in learning how to encourage redevelopment in areas where aging World War II duplexes exist. Mr. Corman encouraged residents to specify what improvements they want to see in the area, saying that he is convinced the area can be improved. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler emphasized that the subject of the public hearing is the moratorium, and not the development specifics. She pointed out that the now moratorium will provide time for the City to conduct the study. Glenda Johnson, 1216 Monroe Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, favored the moratorium, and welcomed the study. She encouraged sensitivity, establishing higher density where it makes sense, and maintaining the character of the neighborhoods. Keith Demps, 2308 NE 24th St.,Renton, 98056, voiced his support for the moratorium. He stated that he is a developer and has plans for projects in the area in the upcoming months. Mr. Kemps inquired as to whether he can move forward with his projects. Zanetta Fontes,Assistant City Attorney, explained that vested projects are allowed, which means that the project application must have been accepted by the City prior to the declaration of the moratorium. Discussion ensued regarding the timing of Mr. Demps'projects, the permit process, and the types of projects. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that staff will review Mr. Kemp's issues. Councilman Corman indicated that it is not the City's intent to cause harm, and pointed out that more development options may become available as a result of the study. Fred Crothamel, 2951 74th Ave. SE,Mercer Island, 98040, indicated that he owns five duplexes in the subject area, and voiced his support for higher density. Mr. Crothamel stated that he is in favor of rehabilitating the area and increasing the amount of affordable housing. •.i 179 May 16,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 179 Keith Thompson, 660 Index Pl. NE, Renton, 98056, voiced his support for the moratorium, and pointed out that he owns three properties in the area. While he supports higher densities,he expressed concern that he may be forced to do something with his properties that is beyond his financial capability. Mr. Thompson acknowledged that many properties in the area are not properly maintained,and stated his appreciation for the City's efforts to address code compliance issues. He noted,however, that people choose to live in the duplexes because the rent is affordable and the density is lower. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler assured that regardless of the zoning that is established in the area,property owners will not be required to redevelop unless they choose to do so. Councilman Corman acknowledged that the duplexes provide families with an affordable, "single-family" type lifestyle, and pointed out that his concerns involve those structures that are dilapidated. Ron Christensen,625 Index Ave. NE,Renton, 98056, stated that he is provided an income from his property,that his property is well maintained, and that its value has increased over the past five years. Mr. Christensen suggested that the City consider sidewalk improvements and underground wiring. Ed Rasmussen, 1300 Monroe Ave. NE,Renton, 98056, pointed out that the density level of the area was changed as a result of a past rezone. He stated that while he is not against progress, he is concerned about how his neighborhood will be affected. He noted that the covenants on the plat in which he lives are still in force. Mr. Rasmussen also expressed his concern that property taxes will increase, forcing people to move out of the area. Owen Dennison, 316 Occidental Ave. S., Suite 320, Seattle, 98104, representing the Renton School District, spoke in support of the revision to the resolution to exclude the Hillcrest School project from the moratorium. He explained that the project is non-residential and will not affect the long-term plans for the area. Bimhl Kumar, 2102 NE 23rd St.,Renton, 98056,expressed concern regarding the time and money the City has already spent on Highlands area planning. He also expressed his concern that people may be displaced. Mr. Kumar noted that he demolished a duplex(lot#34) on Index Ave. NE, and he wants to continue to develop the property. He voiced his frustration with the progress of his project. In response to the Mayor's inquiry,Mr. Kumar stated that he supports the moratorium.

ISO May 16,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 180 Don Erickson, Senior Planner,explained that the King County Boundary Review Board approved the annexation proposal effective 4/2/2005, and this is the second of two public hearings on the matter. He reported that the site contains 46 single-family dwellings, and 8.6 acres of the site are vacant. He Mai noted that the existing streets are not up to City standards, often lacking sidewalks, and there is a deficiency of developed recreational opportunities in the area. Reviewing the public services,Mr. Erickson stated that the area is served by Fire District#25, Renton water and sewer, and the Renton School District. Continuing,Mr. Erickson said existing King County zoning is R-6(six dwelling units per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Residential Single Family,for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre)zoning is proposed. He reviewed the fiscal impact analysis, which assumes a new home value of$450,000 and 55 new single-family homes. The City will realize a deficit of$8,177 at current development, and a surplus of $9,873 at full development. Mr.Erickson noted the estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost of$78,034. In conclusion,Mr. Erickson stated that the proposed annexation serves the best interests and general welfare of the City and furthers City business goals. Public comment was invited. John Lunz, 10110 130th Ave. SE, Renton, 98055, stated that he is opposed to the annexation, and can see no advantages for the existing residents to annex to Renton.

Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that this is the second of two public hearings,and the King County Boundary Review Board approved the proposed annexation effective 4/11/2005. He reported that eight single-family dwellings exist on the sloped site, which contains a 75-foot drop from the northeast corner to the southeast corner. Mr. Erickson indicated that the site is served by Fire District#25, Water District#90,Renton sewer, and the Renton School District. Continuing with the zoning,Mr. Erickson explained that the site is zoned R-4 (four dwelling units per acre) under King County. The City's Comprehensive ..r Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density, for which R-4 (four 1. 81 May 16,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 181 dwelling units per net acre)zoning is proposed. He noted that this is one of three annexation sites that were grandfathered in with the R-5 zone densities and lot standards in November 2004. Reviewing the fiscal impacts of the proposed annexation, assuming a new home value of$400,000 and the potential of 78 single-family homes at full development,Mr. Erickson reported that the City will realize a deficit of$746 at current development, and a surplus of$6,515 at full development.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that as part of the 2005 legislative session wrap- Legislature: 2005 State up report, three legislators will be making presentations. Alex Pietsch, Legislative Session Wrap-Up Economic Development, Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning (EDNSP) Administrator,explained that the EDNSP Department is responsible for coordinating the legislative affairs of the City, and works in conjunction with the other departments and a paid lobbyist,Doug Levy. r... Pointing out that the 2005 legislative session was one of the most successful sessions the City has experienced, Mr. Pietsch stated that the City worked proactively with the nine legislators that represent Renton. Mr. Pietsch highlighted the legislative actions that have an effect on Renton as follows: • Received$5 million in Capital Budget to help with the redevelopment of former Boeing property in the South Lake Washington neighborhood. • The Freight Mobility Budget includes $4 million for the SW 27th St. and Strander Blvd. project. • Over$2 million was granted for the SR-169 Corridor improvements. • Through the passage of the 9.5-cent per gallon gas tax, more than $300 million of improvements will directly benefit Renton by expanding the capacity of I-405. • Legislation was not enacted regarding sales tax streamlining. • A jobs development fund was enacted that set aside$50 million biennium for public infrastructure necessary to create jobs. • Tobacco settlement dollars were set aside for investment in life sciences and support of life sciences research. Representative Fred Jarrett,41st District,emphasized how well the legislators worked together on the interests of Renton. He agreed that the legislative session was successful for Renton,but stated that more can be done. Mr. Jarrett noted the benefits of the 9.5-cent per gallon gas tax; however,he indicated that if a Regional Transportation Investment District package is not 190 May 23,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 190 passed next year, all of the money is available for reappropriation. He asked for the City's assistance and support in pushing forward with the regional transportation package. Representative Judy Clibborn,41st District,pointed out how important the Capital Budget and the Transportation Budget are to this area's economic development. She indicated that despite the issues surrounding the Governor's race, the legislators worked hard during the session. Ms. Clibborn also indicated that legislators worked across party lines for a balanced session, and there were many accomplishments. Additionally, she highlighted a bill that she sponsored this session, which allows employers to give references for employees with increased protection for the employers' liability. Representative Bob Hasegawa, 1 lth District,reported that despite the State's budget problems, a budget was crafted that did not cut services to citizens as much as was expected. He noted that 40,000 additional children will be provided healthcare, and that financial aid will be available to part-time students. Mr. Hasegawa stated that he is proud of the work that was accomplished. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler thanked the legislators for the work they performed on Renton's behalf. With the assistance of Council President Briere, she presented them with certificates of appreciation. Mr. Pietsch noted that the City's investment in Doug Levy paid off tremendously, and the Mayor also expressed her appreciation for Mr.Levy's efforts. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Lindberg, 138th accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Ave SE&SE 132nd St public hearing to consider the 60% Notice of Intent petition and future zoning mo for the proposed Lindberg Annexation, which consists of 10.11 acres, including the abutting street right-of-way, located east of 138th Ave. SE(Duvall Ave. NE) and north of SE 132nd St. (NE 2nd St.). Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator, stated that the area proposed for annexation contains nine single-family dwellings, is relatively flat with a two percent slope from west to east, and is constrained by potential wetlands affecting two northern parcels. The area is served by Fire District #25,Renton water,Water District#90,Renton sewer, and the Renton School District. He noted that current King County zoning for the area is R-4 (four dwelling units per gross acre),and Renton's Comprehensive Plan designation is Residential Single Family. Therefore,proposed Renton zoning is R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre). Mr. Pietsch reported that the annexation is generally consistent with Boundary Review Board objectives. The fiscal impact analysis indicates a surplus of $8,580 at full development, and an estimated one-time parks development cost of$35,383. He pointed out the necessity of the one-time parks development cost,explaining that the parks mitigation fee collected upon development does not cover the full cost of providing the City's desired level of service. In conclusion,Mr. Pietsch stated that the proposed annexation serves the best interests and general welfare of the City, and is consistent with City annexation policies. He noted that the Utility Division suggests using King County's 1998 NNWSurface Water Design Manual, Level II standards for future development. :f 1 May 23,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 191 Public comment was invited.

CARRIED. Transportation: NE 3rd/4th St This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Corridor Improvements Study accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Final Report public hearing to consider the final report for the NE 3rd and 4th Street Corridor Improvements Study Project(from Sunset Blvd. N. to the City limits). Keith Woolley, Civil Engineer III,explained that the purpose of the project was to develop a comprehensive set of street, traffic control,bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and actions that will address the existing and future access and circulation needs of the corridor. He stated that an evaluation of the existing corridor system was conducted indicating: traffic congestion; inadequate capacity; operational and safety problems (especially those involving left turns); an incomplete sidewalk system; a lack of bicycle facilities; and an inconsistent streetscape. Mr. Woolley reported that in order to keep the community involved in the planning process,three public open houses were held over the course of the project. He indicated that a 'Boulevard" concept is recommended for the corridor, both in look and in function. Recommended improvements include: intersection improvements, a center median,bus pullouts, sidewalk buffering, bicycle facilities, and improved aesthetics (roadside and median landscaping). Mr. Woolley pointed out that the center median will provide access management, safety, speed control, and beautification. Continuing, Mr. Woolley displayed and reviewed schematic diagrams and cross sections of the conceptual plan, as well as the conceptual layout plan for the various segments along the corridor. Mr. Woolley reviewed the issues relating to implementation and construction, including steep slopes, the need to acquire additional right-of-way,existing transmission power utility poles,existing corner developments at key intersections, and reliance on a State 1-405 improvement project. He indicated that mitigation of private property impacts, landscaping,and streetscape will be addressed at the project design level. In regards to costs and staging, Mr. Woolley stated that the improvements are estimated to cost$25 million, and will be broken down into eleven stages that range from$1 to$5 million. Noting that this project will take 15 or more years to complete, he reported that a phased prioritized implementation approach is recommended. Mr. Woolley explained that high priority improvement projects will be furthered into pre-design as funding is pursued and becomes available. Public comment was invited. tor Gwendolyn High, 13405 158th Ave. SE,Renton,98059,encouraged the City to address the safety issues along the corridor, especially in the area of the Maureen Highlands Subdivision(vicinity of NE 4th St. and Rosario Ave. NE). May 23,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 192 Noting the increase in development along the corridor,Ms. High suggested that the City focus any future revenue from annexed areas on corridor sections that are the most impacted by development. Mike O'Halloran,4420 SE 4th St.,Renton, 98059, asked the City to make this "'e project a high priority. He expressed his hope that the Liberty Ridge Subdivision developer or residents will improve their common area facing NE 3rd St.,that the Washington State Highway Maintenance Department will landscape its common area which faces NE 3rd St., and that the intersection of Union Ave. NE and NE 4th St. will be one of the first to be improved. Tom Winter, 311 Edmonds Ave. SE,Renton, 98056, requested the installation of a guard rail at the top of a steep slope located on the south side of NE 3rd St., east of Edmonds Ave. NE. He expressed concern about the safety of the residents who live at the base of the slope in the Liberty Ridge Subdivision, saying that there is nothing to prevent cars and debris from flying over the hill and into their backyards. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that the matter will be investigated. Dennis Neuzil,2307 94th Ave. NE,Bellevue, 98004, speaking on behalf of the Cascade Bicycle Club,indicated that the club has been working on a regional bicycle route system plan for the four counties of Central Puget Sound. He stated that NE 3rd and 4th St., and its extension of SE 128th St. over to May Valley Rd., is proposed to be a part of the regional route. Mr. Neuzil expressed his appreciation for the inclusion of bicycle facilities in the City's corridor plan. Stanley Piha, 2101 4th Ave., Suite 250, Seattle, 98121, spoke on behalf of R and S Investment Company located at 4020 NE 4th St. He explained that a bus pullout is proposed that will potentially use 16 feet of the property,resulting in the removal of the majority of the landscaping in front of the property and the possible elimination of three to four parking stalls. Mr. Piha pointed out that this action may result in the property becoming a legal but nonconforming use, and then the owner could not rebuild in the event of a fire. He asked that the City take care to mitigate the impacts of the project so that properties do not become nonconforming, and suggested relocating the bus pullout further to the west. Councilman Corman stated that this may be a good case for a variance. Councilman Clawson noted that the City of Tukwila recently adopted an ordinance regarding setbacks, and suggested that it be reviewed. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY PERSSON,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Dave C. Hardy, 19235 108th Ave. SE,#206,Renton, 98055, spoke in support Citizen Comment: Hardy- of State House Bill 2068, which relates to children testifying in dissolution Children Testifying in proceedings. Mr. Hardy explained that he is trying to obtain support for the Dissolution Proceedings (HB bill, as it still is under consideration by the Juvenile Justice and Family Law 2068) Committee. In response to Councilman Corman's inquiry,Mr. Hardy stated that he did testify his support to the Committee. Mr. Corman pointed out that bills often take multiple legislative sessions to garner support, and he encouraged Mr. Hardy to continue to testify at Committee meetings. Citizen Comment: Brehmer- Theresa Brehmer,Bennett Development, 12011 NE 1st St.,Bellevue, 98005, Sewer Moratorium in East spoke on the subject of the proposed sewer moratorium in the East Renton Renton Plateau PAA Plateau potential annexation area. She stated that Bennett Development is working on a 50-to 60-lot subdivision project located at 17250 140th St., and expressed her concern regarding the effect of the moratorium on the project. Discussion ensued regarding the timing of the project, annexation,proximity of the project to available sewer, and the timeline for the Issaquah School District's Liberty High School sewer project. (See page 194 for committee report.) Citizen Comment: Alder, Rebecca Alder, 3112 NE 14th St.,Renton,98056, stated that by annexing the Merritt Il Annexation,Low Merritt II Annexation site and applying low density residential zoning, a lot of Density Development money is being expended for the direct benefit of a few people. Instead of creating residences that can only be accessed by car and that are located on the fringes of the service areas,Ms. Alder stressed that Renton needs to revitalize its core and focus on creating places that are within walking distance, thereby resulting in the use of less oil.

In response to Council President Briere's inquiry, Community Services Administrator Dennis Culp explained that this project was previously bid in October 2004. However,due to time delays brought on by the contractor,the "fish window" timeframe for the project was missed. The City withdrew the contract, and rebid the project in 2005. Mr. Culp indicated that the funding originally allocated to this project is insufficient,but savings from already completed projects were carried forward as part of the Major Maintenance/Parks Maintenance budget for 2005 and are available to use on this project.

ROLL CALL OF TERRI BRIERE, Council President; DENIS LAW; DAN CLAWSON; TONI COUNCILMEMBERS NELSON;RANDY CORMAN; DON PERSSON; MARCIE PALMER. CITY STAFF IN KATHY KEOLKER-WHEELER,Mayor; JAY COVINGTON, Chief ATTENDANCE Administrative Officer;LAWRENCE J. WARREN, City Attorney; BONNIE WALTON, City Clerk; GREGG ZIMMERMAN,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator;ALEX PIETSCH,Economic Development Administrator; BEN WOLTERS,Economic Development Director; DENNIS CULP, Community Services Administrator; COMMANDER TIM TROXEL, Police Department. SPECIAL PRESENTATION Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator,explained that Storefront EDNSP: Storefront Studio Studio is a program that allows University of Washington's College of Program(University of Architecture and Urban Planning students to bring a fresh perspective for how Washington), Downtown downtown Renton can look, feel, and function in the future. Jim Nicholls, Renton Professor of Architecture, stated that students worked with local business and property owners to identify the assets of the downtown area and to develop design proposals and guidelines to assist the community in preserving and developing downtown Renton's unique character. •.� Professor Nicholls stated that four principal concepts were identified and developed over the course of this effort: 1)connecting greenways through the City, 2) activating the interior courtyards in old downtown, 3) revitalizing elevations and facades, and 4)envisioning renewed buildings. Professor Nicholls,and students Mary Ellen Olafson and Emily Schaefer, discussed suggested improvements, the concept of recycling rather than tearing down and starting over or restoring to the original look, the community-wide open houses that were held, and the positive reception of the effort by community members. Images of the transformations were displayed, showing structures and areas as they look now and how they can look in the future. In conclusion,Mr. Nicholls suggested the City revise its sign code to allow for more creative signage, and develop bike paths in the downtown area. The Councilmembers and Mayor commented on the ideas they favored, such as the courtyards,creative signage, and lighting. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler indicated that she had challenged the students at the beginning of the project to develop ideas that were achievable and accomplishable. She encouraged all Councilmembers to view the materials developed by the students, and suggested displaying some of the materials at City Hall. 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 2005 and beyond. Items noted NNW included: 2011 June 6,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 203 Thanks to the generosity of service groups and City of Renton employees, since April of this year,the City has been able to award 61 scholarships totaling$3,500 to low-income children and adults to participate in City- sponsored activities. The Renton Clean Sweep Program will continue with individual neighborhood clean ups on the weekends of June l Ith/12th and June 18th/19th. The City held its first Stop & Swap event on June 4th, and its Spring Recycling Day event on May 14th. Public Safety: Calling 911 Mayor Keolker-Wheeler advised citizens to report suspicious activities by calling 911 at the time of the event instead of waiting until days later to report the incident. AUDIENCE COMMENT Sandel DeMastus, 1137 Harrington Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, reported that two Citizen Comment: DeMastus - pit bull dogs attacked her neighbor last Friday,that two weeks ago the same Pit Bull Dogs dogs attempted to attack another neighbor, and that a number of pit bulls live in the Highlands area. Ms. DeMastus asked that the City consider banning pit bulls, as has been done in other cities. Stating that an ordinance regulating dangerous dogs was adopted in 2002"- Councilman 002;Councilman Clawson reviewed the process by which incidents are handled by the Police Department. He encouraged residents to report any occurrences. In response to Councilman Corman's inquiry regarding the possibility of prosecuting the animal owner if someone is hurt or killed, City Attorney Larry Warren indicated it is possible to prosecute that type of case; however, a substantial record must be established that shows knowledge or reckless disregard for public safety. He noted the importance of showing a history when prosecuting cases, and the importance of reporting incidents. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated for the record that the two pit bulls are in custody. Citizen Comment: Claeys - Susan Claeys, Sundance at Talbot Ridge Homeowners Association President, Stonehaven Development, Use 4708 Smithers Ave. S.,Renton, 98055, stated that Sundance is an 18-lot of Sundance at Talbot Ridge subdivision located on the corner of S. 47th St. and Smithers Ave. S. The Private Water Detention subdivision contains a privately owned wet vault. Ms. Clay pointed out that Facility drainage from the heavily forested area located above Sundance was factored into the design of its wet vault, and that wetlands also appear to drain through the forested area into the wet vault. She reported that the builder of Stonehaven, a 36-lot development currently in the permitting process located southeast of Sundance, plans to connect four homes and a portion of street to Sundance's wet vault. Ms. Claeys expressed the following concerns: 1)Will the four new homeowners accept the same financial obligations and responsibilities for the maintenance of the wet vault as the Sundance residents have? 2)Was the drainage from the wetlands factored into the original calculations that determined the size of the wet vault? i MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL ALLOW THE SPEAKER THREE ADDITIONAL MINUTES FOR HER COMMENTS. CARRIED. Ms. Claeys continued with her concerns as.follows: 3)How many other homes will Renton allow to connect to Sundance's wet vault? 4)Why did the builder 201 June 6,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 204 not have to seek permission from Sundance to use the wet vault? 5)How can Renton compel the developer of Sundance to have the residents pay for the maintenance of the private wet vault,but not have future homeowners who connect to the vault pay their share? 5)How will Renton determine negligence moo in connection to Sundance's wet vault if homes outside of the development are connected to the vault? Ms. Claeys relayed that she was told this is a unique situation, and countered that a unique solution is required that is fair and equitable for all concerned. Gregg Zimmerman,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator,explained that subdivisions are held to the City's current surface water standards. In this vicinity, the City generally adds a requirement to contain the 100-year storm, and because of the added impervious surface, subdivisions must have detention ponds and water quality vaults. The City requires that engineers characterize the entire sub-basin to make sure that the water detention system is sized not only to handle the added impervious surface,but also any other drainage that is naturally occurring in the sub-basin. Mr. Zimmerman noted that the Sundance wet vault was sized in this manner. He reported that the City also requires developers to establish restrictive covenants requiring the established homeowners association to pay for the maintenance and operation of these facilities. Regarding the Stonehaven development,Mr. Zimmerman stated that a homeowners association will be established, and residents will be required to provide maintenance and upkeep of Stonehaven's water detention facility. However, due a slope, four lots and a portion of street will not be able to drain into this system. He pointed out that this is not a unique situation, and there are situations throughout the City where existing drainage from new subdivisions moo go through existing systems, most of which are public, but portions of the system are private. Mr. Zimmerman indicated that he will further investigate Ms. Claeys concern regarding the wetland drainage into Sundance's wet vault. Continuing, Mr.Zimmerman explained that the City does not get involved with the individual arrangements of homeowners associations. Pointing out that the future owners of the subject four lots will eventually pay dues to their homeowners association, he recommended that once the association is established, that the two affected associations discuss the issue and come to an arrangement regarding Sundance's water detention facility. Mr. Zimmerman assured that Sundance's facility is sized to handle the modest flow from the four lots and pavement,and there is no added danger or risk. Councilman Clawson noted that water goes where it goes,especially in areas that have not yet been developed. He indicated that one of the problems with development is that impermeable surface is created. Mr. Clawson stated that he wants the City to encourage builders to retain more of the water on the property. Responding to Council President Briere's inquiry,Mr. Zimmerman stated that he will find out why the water detention facility for the Stonehaven development was located at that particular place. Councilman Persson inquired as to how the City can give permission to a developer to hook-up to an already existing private water detention facility. Mr. Zimmerman explained that the associated public roadways also drain to the facilities; thus a homeowners association maintains a mixture of public June 6,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 205 roadways and a facility. He pointed out that the drainage does not connect directly into the facility, but uses existing public conveyance pipes. Councilman Corman questioned why an additional wet vault was not created to handle the four lots. He expressed concern that the City is trying to get private parties to take on the long-term maintenance of the water detention facilities. Mr. Corman noted the dilemma of the City requesting homeowner associations to maintain the facilities, yet outside parties are allowed to hook-up to the systems. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that the Administration will review the matter and provide additional information. City Attorney Warren noted that the legal issues related to this matter are complicated. Citizen Comment: High- Gwendolyn High, 13405 158th Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, praised the Clean Swap & Stop Event, Sewer Sweep Renton program's Stop and Swap event held on June 4th. On another Moratorium in East Renton subject, Ms. High stated that the Citizens'Alliance for a Responsible Evendell Plateau PAA requested the sewer moratorium in the East Renton Plateau potential annexation area as the community is considering the possibility of annexation to Renton. She inquired as to what is deemed a complete application for sewer certificate for two milestones in the sewer concurrency certification application process, vesting and granting. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler noted the complexity of the issue and indicated that the Administration will provide an answer within the next few days. (See page 208 for resolution.) Citizen Comment: Hoben- Nancy Hoben, 17434 128th Ave. SE,Renton, 98058, announced that the how Renton Farmers Market Renton Farmers Market opens on June 7th. Ms. Hoben explained that the market's goal is to not only support the smaller farmers and producers of goods, but to also be a community event. She reported that in addition to the regularly scheduled Master Gardener Clinics, Arts and Crafts Kids Booth, and Chefs Demonstrations, the Cascade Kids Circus and the Finnish Dancers will perform at the June 7th market. Citizen Comment: Brehmer- Theresa Brehmer, Bennett Development, 12011 NE 1st St.,Bellevue, 98005, Sewer Moratorium in East stated her support for Care's (Citizens'Alliance for a Responsible Evendell) Renton Plateau PAA annexation effort. However, she expressed concern that CARE will use the proposed sewer moratorium in the East Renton Plateau potential annexation area as a means to stop growth in the area if the moratorium is not linked to a possible annexation election this fall. She asked that extensions to the sewer moratorium not be allowed. (See page 208 for resolution.) RECESS MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. CARRIED.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator, explained that in 1998 the EDNSP: Business Leaders City partnered with the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce,Valley Medical Views of Renton Survey Center,Renton Technical College, and the Renton School District to combine resources and collectively market the Renton community. The partnership resulted in the development of the "Ahead of the Curve" brand, and Renton was r one of the first cities in the nation to brand its community in this manner. Mr. Pietsch reported that the Renton Community Marketing Campaign Committee ►r hired Elway Research,Inc. to conduct a survey to assess whether the "Ahead of the Curve" branding played a role in the economic expansion of the City. Mr. Pietsch introduced Stuart Elway who reported on the findings of the Business Leaders'Views of Renton survey. He stated that a telephone survey was conducted of business operators of 157 businesses located between Mukilteo and Federal Way. Mr. Elway reviewed the survey questions and results, which related to business location,business relocation, community requirements and amenities,familiarity with Renton, Renton's strong points and drawbacks, and the "Ahead of the Curve" slogan. Mr. Elway summarized that the survey showed recognition of Renton as a changing and growing city, and that the marketing campaign is having the intended effect. Mr. Pietsch stated that the marketing committee will review the survey results, and the data will be used to formulate future marketing campaign strategies. He noted that some of the businesses expressed interest in being contacted in the future to discuss the potential of locating to Renton. Councilman Corman said he was impressed with the number of people who have heard of Renton's slogan. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler expressed her pleasure with the number of people who have visited Renton within the last year. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Utility: Sewer Moratorium in accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the East Renton Plateau PAA public hearing to consider the six-month moratorium on sewer availabilities for bow new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau potential annexation area. 2 �2 June 20,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 222 Dave Christensen,Utility Engineering Supervisor,reviewed ordinances relating to the provision of sewer service outside the City limits. He pointed out that Ordinance 5123, adopted in January 2005, allows sewer availabilities for new subdivisions conditioned upon development meeting Renton's basic zoning and ""r land use criteria. Mr. Christensen noted the receipt of a letter in May from the Citizens'Alliance for a Responsible Evendell (CARE), in which concern was expressed regarding Renton's issuance of sewer availabilities that cover only the core development standards. He noted CARE's belief that the City's development requirements would have a negative effect on the group's effort to gather support for an annexation. Continuing,Mr. Christensen stated that the resolution establishing the moratorium was adopted on June 6th. He reported that the City has received three complete applications for sewer availability outside the City limits since the adoption of Ordinance 5123 in January. Two of the subdivision projects have received sewer availability certificates, and the third project, which was submitted on June 2nd,is currently under review. Public comment was invited. Correspondence was read from Theresa M. Brehmer,Land Acquisition Manager for Bennett Development,Inc., 12011 NE 1st St., Suite 201,Bellevue, 98005, stating that while she supports CARE's annexation effort, she is concerned about how the moratorium will affect Bennett Development's subdivision development located within the East Renton Plateau area. Noting that a majority of the annexation process is achievable within the six-month moratorium period,Ms. Brehmer asked that the City not extend the moratorium now unless a formal submittal has been given to the Boundary Review Board by the beginning of October 2005. Correspondence was read from Tom Carpenter, 15006 SE 139th Pl.,Renton, 98059,expressing support for the moratorium. Noting that the moratorium is linked to an annexation effort,he stressed that the annexation decision, regardless of the outcome, will have a profound impact on the qualify of life in the East Renton Plateau area. Mr. Carpenter urged the City to add its voice with King County and the State to address the issue of quality of life in urban growth areas such as this. Theresa M. Brehmer,Land Acquisition Manager for Bennett Development, Inc., 12011 NE 1st St., Suite 201,Bellevue, 98005, stated that Bennett Development is in the process of developing property within the subject area, and she expressed her hope that CARE will expedite its annexation effort and that the moratorium will not be unduly extended. Garrett Huffman, 335 116th Ave. SE,Bellevue, 98004, speaking on behalf of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties,questioned how the City can implement a sewer moratorium if the City is not experiencing a sewer capacity issue.

There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Annexation: Wedgewood This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Lane, 144th Ave SE& 148th accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Ave SE public hearing to consider the proposed annexation and R4 zoning of property that abuts Renton on its west; and is bounded on the north by SE 114th St.,if extended; on the south by approximately SE 121st St., if extended; and on the east, south of SE 117th St.by Honey Creek, and north of SE 117th St. by 148th Ave. SE (Wedgewood Lane). Don Erickson, Senior Planner,reported that this is the second of two public hearings on the matter, and the Boundary Review Board approved the proposed annexation on 5/17/2005. He noted that the site consists of approximately 35.68 acres, and contains 25 single-family dwellings. He described the topography of the site, which slopes downward from the northwest and northeast corners towards Honey Creek at a ten to fifteen percent slope. Reviewing the public services,Mr. Erickson indicated that Fire District#10, Water District#90,Renton sewer, and the Issaquah School District serve the site. Mr. Erickson reported that current King County zoning for the site is R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre), which is comparable to Renton's R-8 zoning. The Renton Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density, for which R-4(four dwelling units per net acre)zoning is recommended. He noted that R-4 zoning is consistent with the environmental sensitivity of the area. Continuing,Mr. Erickson reviewed the fiscal impact analysis, assuming a new home value of$450,000 and a potential of 114 single-family homes at full development. The City will realize a deficit of$434 at current development, and a surplus of$30,902 at full development. The estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost is $74,030. Mr. Erickson concluded that the proposed annexation serves the best interests and general welfare of the City, and pointed out that new development will result in streets and stormwater detention facilities built to City standards. Public comment was invited. Correspondence was read from Mark Engbaum and Renee Korsmo, 14522 SE 116th St.,Renton,98059,expressing support for the annexation and R-4 zoning. They noted that R-4 zoning will help preserve the rural feel of the area. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

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 2005 and beyond. Items noted included: • A community meeting to discuss the future Heather Downs Park will be held on June 28th, 7:00 p.m., at the Highlands Community Center. On June 30th, an open house will be held at the future park site located on Union Ave. NE between NE 3rd Ct. and NE 2nd Pl. from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. • The City's swimming beaches will be open for the season from June 25th through September 5th,from 12:00 noon to 8:00 p.m. • Conveniently rid your house, garage, and yard of unwanted junk during the one-day-only Neighbor-to-Neighbor Curbside Cleanup on June 25th.

AUDIENCE COMMENT David Main,40305 302nd Ave. SE,Enumclaw, 98022,requested a hardship „r Citizen Comment: Main - exemption from the moratorium on new development in the Highlands Sub- Highlands Sub-Area Plan Area Plan study area. He explained that he submitted an application to replace Study Area Moratorium, a destroyed home located on Monroe Ave. NE with one single-family dwelling Exemption Request and was informed that he is unable to proceed with the project until the moratorium ends. Mr. Main pointed out that the plat has covenants attached that precludes any lot in the subdivision from being smaller than 6,000 square feet and narrower than 60 feet. Mr. Mann stated that the purpose of the moratorium is to review the area for possible density increases. He indicated that if it were not for the covenants recorded on the plat, two or three properties would be allowed on the site per current Renton zoning. Noting the economic hardship of not being able to develop his property,Mr. Mann suggested amending the moratorium to allow for hardship exemptions. Gregg Zimmerman,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator, stated that this situation seems to be an unintended consequence of the City's moratorium action. The moratorium was implemented to prevent subdivisions and activities in the R-10 zoned areas while the City reviews policies and new development standards. He explained that the moratorium provision that does not allow the issuance of building permits was mainly for those particular types of vested subdivisions. Mr. Zimmerman suggested that the matter be reviewed Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator, stated that when the moratorium was invoked,he was unaware of the covenants underlying the N=W 225 June 20,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 225 subject subdivision. Noting the possibility of downzoning the subdivision to R- 8 to better match the underlying covenants,Mr. Pietsch agreed that the matter should be reviewed. The Mayor noted that the covenants may be in conflict with the Growth Management Act. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER TO THE ADMINISTRATION. CARRIED. On another subject,Mr.Main complemented the City on its vision,pointing out that he intends to move back to Renton within the next five years.

Mark Santos-Johnson,Economic Development Specialist,explained that the proposal adds the Commercial Office Residential 3 (COR 3)zone to the existing Urban Center North District 1 (UC-N1)zone designated residential targeted area, and changes the names for three designated residential targeted areas to "Downtown," "Highlands," and "South Lake Washington." Continuing,Mr. Santos-Johnson reported that eligible projects may be able to receive a partial property tax exemption for up to ten years. The exemption applies to the value of new housing construction,but does not include the value of land, existing improvements, or non-housing related improvements. He stated that the tax exemption also applies to all levels of the ad valorem property tax, including city, county, state, and local taxing districts; and for projects in Renton, this amounts to$11.86 per$1,000 of assessed value for 2005. Mr. Santos-Johnson explained that eligible projects must be located in designated targeted areas; must be new construction rental or owner occupied multi-family housing with four or more housing units in each building; must have a minimum of either ten or thirty housing units depending upon location; must be mixed-use if located in the Center Downtown zone,UC-N1 zone,COR 3 zone, or in the Center Village zone, unless waived; and must comply with design standards and guidelines.

Therefore, the annexation was resubmitted for 7.3 acres. Mr. Erickson stated that the subject annexation site contains three existing single-family dwellings and three vacant parcels. The topography of the western portion of the site is relatively flat, whereas the eastern portion contains steep slopes as a result of Honey Creek and its ravine. He noted that King County's 1998 Surface Water Design Manual,Level 2 flow control standards or greater are recommended at the time of development. Reviewing the public services,Mr. Erickson reported that the site is served by Fire District#25,Water District#90,Renton sewer, and the Renton School District. He pointed out that the site is currently zoned R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre) in King County, and Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Single Family, for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre)zoning is proposed. Mr. Erickson reviewed the fiscal impact of the proposed annexation, indicating a surplus of$236 at current development and a surplus of$9,278 at full development. He noted the estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost of$27,176. Mr.Erickson stated that the annexation proposal is generally consistent with City policies and relevant Boundary Review Board objectives. He concluded that the annexation appears to further City business goals and is in the best interests of the City. Public comment was invited. Martin Kenney, 18719 Yew Way, Snohomish, 98296, stated that he owns property within the annexation area, and noted the successful development to the south of the annexation site. Pointing out that Renton is a progressive city, Mr. Kenney complimented the City's planning staff for their responsiveness.

Don Erickson, Senior Planner,explained that the subject annexation site was originally part of larger annexation that was split into two pieces(the 6.3-acre Falk Annexation was approved in December 2003). He reported that the site contains five single-family dwellings,and is essentially flat with steeper slopes on the western side. Public services are provided by Fire District#40, Soos Creek Water and Sewer District,and Renton School District. Mr.Erickson noted that roadway and stormwater improvements are likely. Continuing,Mr.Erickson reported that existing King County zoning for the site is R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre). The Renton Comprehensive Plan ... designates the site as Residential Single Family,for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre) is recommended. He pointed out that the R-8 zoning is compatible with King County's R-6(six dwelling units per gross acre) zoning to the east of the site. Mr.Erickson stated that the fiscal impact analysis indicates a surplus of $12,715 at full development, and an estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost of$22,381. Mr. Erickson concluded that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City policies and Boundary Review Board criteria. He noted that the 50/50 Direct Petition annexation method is not used very often,but is a valid method. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler emphasized that the applicant made the determination to use this method,not the City. In response to Councilman Clawson's inquiry regarding access to the annexation site from the north,Mr. Erickson explained that the topography of the area to the north of the subject annexation is limiting as two major ravines transverse the property. Public comment was invited.

The MacKenzies questioned who 271 August 1,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 271 is liable for any damage to their house due to the vibrations, and they expressed unhappiness that construction will continue if the Falk H Annexation is approved. Joseph MacKenzie, 18533 102nd Ave. SE,Renton,98055,expanded on his concerns regarding the construction occurring on the Falk Annexation site as stated in the previously read correspondence. Responding to the Mayor's inquiry,Mr. MacKenzie expressed his opposition to the proposed Falk H Annexation due to the construction. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler indicated that City staff will investigate the MacKenzies'concerns regarding the construction related issues. Robert McIntosh, 10104 SE 187th St.,Renton, 98055, stated that he lives adjacent to the southern boundary of the annexation area, and when construction begins,he too will be experiencing the construction related problems. He noted that water runs through the annexation site, and expressed concern regarding the loss of the wildlife when the area is developed. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Councilmembers Corman and Briere sympathized with the speakers,each saying that development construction occurred near their homes as well. Councilman Clawson noted that there will be an approval process for the development of the subject site, and conditions concerning the construction may be imposed. He indicated that under the State Growth Management Act, r... smaller wild areas are sacrificed in order to have a more contiguous area on the other side of the urban growth boundary.

In conclusion, Mr. Hulten expressed his appreciation for the many volunteers who contributed over 9,500 hours in planning for and assisting with the festival. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Akers Farms, accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the 108th Ave SE &Puget Dr S public hearing to consider the 60% Notice of Intent to annex petition and R-8 zoning for the proposed 13.3-acre Akers Farms Annexation, located south of Puget Dr. S. and east of 108th Ave. SE, if extended. Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator,reported that the site contains five single-family dwellings, and slopes downward from the southwest corner to the northern point at a 3%slope. The northern portion of the site contains an unclassified coal mine hazard area. In regards to the public services, he indicated that the site is within Fire District#40,the sewer service areas of Renton and the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District, the water service area of Soos Creek Water and Sewer District, and the Renton School District. Mr. Pietsch noted that the site is currently zoned R-8 (eight dwelling units per gross acre) in King County. Renton's Comprehensive Plan designation for the site is Residential Single Family,for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre)zoning is proposed. Reviewing relevant City policies and Boundary Review Board criteria, he explained that this smaller than normal annexation is limited to the future development of 84 or fewer single-family lots and has poor connectivity to the City because of the power line corridor to the northeast. However,the annexation proposal is a potential catalyst for the annexation of a 290 August 15,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 290 larger area to the east, and will facilitate upgrading this portion of Benson Hill under City development standards. Continuing,Mr.Pietsch said the fiscal impact analysis indicates a surplus of $25,990 at full development, and an estimated one-time parks acquisition and •• development cost of$33,708. He noted that staff suggests Level 2 flow control for new development, and that the cumulative impact of recent annexations will eventually require more police staff. Mr. Pietsch concluded that the proposed annexation serves the best interests and general welfare of the City,particularly if the annexation facilitates higher quality development near Nelsen Middle School. Public comment was invited. Robert Ableidinger, 10908 SE 164th St.,Renton, 98055,expressed his opposition to the inclusion of his property in the annexation proposal, which consists of approximately 2.5 acres and is located on the eastern edge of the site. He explained that he has been out of town for over three years, and did not have any input into whether he wanted to be a part of the annexation or not. Mr. Ableidinger asked that his property be removed from the annexation area. Additionally, he noted that it is difficult to afford and obtain building permits from the City of Renton. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler countered that Renton is known for its quick,easy, and predictable permit activity. Councilman Corman also noted the City's fast permit issuance process, and stated that he does not want to force Mr. Ableidinger to come into the City if he objects. Mr. Ableidinger noted the potential of developing more units on his property if it remained in King County. Mr. Pietsch stated that there may be a net ..r reduction in Mr. Ableidinger's ability to develop his property if it were in Renton; however, the City's development fees are approximately an eighth of the cost of the fees in King County. In response to Mr. Corman's inquiry, City Attorney Larry Warren confirmed that at this point in the process,property can be withdrawn from a proposed annexation. Councilman Clawson expressed concerns regarding setting a precedence and creating holes or irregular boundaries if property were to be removed from an annexation area, in this instance or in any other, unless there were extreme circumstances. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Moved by Clawson, seconded by Law, Council accept the Akers Farms 60% Direct Petition to annex, support future zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's Residential Single Family land use designation,and authorize the Administration to submit the Notice of Intent package to the Boundary Review Board and prepare the relevant ordinances.* Councilman Corman noted the number of unanswered questions regarding Mr. Ableidinger's property and suggested staff review of the matter. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler pointed out that the Boundary Review Board is likely to add property to the boundaries of annexations, since King County is trying to divest mow itself of unincorporated areas. ? 91 August 15,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 291 City Clerk Bonnie Walton confirmed that at staffs recommendation, Council agreed to expand the Akers Farms annexation area to include the subject eastern parcel and abutting street right-of-way when the 10%petition was .... accepted and the circulation of the 60%petition was authorized on April 18th.

MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION AS READ. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Park Terrace, SE accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the 112th St&Anacortes Ave NE public hearing to consider the proposed expanded annexation and future zoning of 80 acres located generally between SE 112th Pl. on the north and NE 6th Pl. on the south, and between 136th Ave. SE on the west and 144th Ave. SE, if extended, on the east(Park Terrace). Don Erickson, Senior Planner, explained that the Boundary Review Board (BRB)for King County held its public hearing on the expanded annexation on 5/24/2005, for which affected property owners were notified via site posters and newspaper publications. The City was notified on 7/16/2005 that the BRB approved the expansion of the boundaries from 7.65 to 80 acres, including the abutting street right-of-ways. He noted that this is the first of two public hearings on the expanded annexation area and future zoning. Mr. Erickson stated that 112 dwelling units exist on the site, and that Fire District#25, Water District#90, Renton water, Renton sewer, and the Renton School District serve the site. He relayed that the fiscal impact analysis indicates a surplus of$39,955 at full development, assuming 116 new dwelling units and 90 remaining units. The estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost is$131,183, and the estimated resurfacing cost for 138th Ave. SE is$483,725. Continuing, Mr. Erickson pointed out that existing King County zoning is R-4 (four dwelling units per gross acre) generally on the west side of 138th Ave. SE, and R-6 (six dwelling units per gross acre) generally on the east side of 302 September 12,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 302 138th Ave. SE. Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the southern part of the site as Residential Single Family, and the northern tip of the site as Residential Medium Density. He reported that the proposed zoning for the site is R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre) for the southern portion and R-10(ten god dwelling units per net acre)for the northern tip. Mr. Erickson concluded that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with relevant City policies and BRB objectives. Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator, noted that the City has been in discussions with King County regarding the needed resurfacing of 138th Ave. SE, and will continue to pursue the matter with them. Gregg Zimmerman, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator, described the current condition of 138th Ave. SE, and pointed out that the longer the improvements are delayed, the more costly it will be to restore the roadway in the future. Public comment was invited. David Maulding, 11221 137th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, stated that he wanted assurance that the R-10 zoning includes his property, as he is planning high- density development on his property. He recommended including the properties all the way down to NE 10th St. in the R-10 zone. Mr. Maulding also suggested the inclusion of a turn lane on 138th Ave. SE at NE 12th St. when the roadway is repaired. He concluded by expressing his support for the annexation. In response to Stuart Whittaker's concerns, 11827 139th Ave. SE,Renton, 98056,regarding the notification for the annexation and the effect of the annexation on property owners, Mr. Erickson discussed sewer connections, taxes and fees. He noted that annexations are exempt from SEPA(State Environmental Policy Act)review, and any future development will undergo an environmental review process with due notification to property owners in the affected area. Mr. Pietsch stated that while the BRB does notify citizens of its annexation expansion public hearings by site postings and newspaper publications, in the future, City staff plans to also send a letter of explanation to parties affected by the expansion. Councilman Corman further reviewed the sewer connection requirements for annexed property owners, noting that the occurrence of Local Improvement Districts (where a majority of residents approve the connection to sanitary sewers and an assessment is charged) are rare and can take place in King County as well as in Renton.

In response to Councilman Corman's inquiry,Mr. Pietsch explained that staff was unsuccessful in their attempts to contact Mr. Ableidinger by telephone; however, a letter was mailed to him outlining the effects of the annexation on his property. He stated that the annexation was expanded to include the Ableidinger property since the initial annexation had signatures representing 100% of the initial property owners, and expansion to the east created a more reasonable boundary while allowing the City to bring in more developable area. Councilman Corman noted Mr. Ableidinger's concern regarding his participation in a Local Improvement District(LID)for sewer. City Attorney Larry Warren explained that the LID assessment by law cannot be more than the increase in value of the property, occasioned by the improvements.

MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION AS READ. CARRIED. Captain Christine Giffey-Brohaugh accepted the proclamation on behalf of the Salvation Army. She explained that the new Renton Rotary Salvation Army �... Food Bank provides not only food, but also services such as the RotaCare Clinic held on Saturday mornings. Captain Giffey-Brohaugh noted that the Salvation Army needs both money and volunteers to run the facility. She encouraged citizens to participate in the annual food drive on September 24th by shopping at local grocery stores and purchasing items for donation. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Human Services: 2006 CDBG accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Funds Allocation public hearing to consider the funding recommendations for the allocation of the 2006 Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)funds. Karen Bergsvik,Human Services Manager, reported that Renton will receive an estimated$48,855 in CDBG public service funds, $185,650 in CDBG capital funds,and$48,855 for planning and administration. She indicated that this is an approximate 10% cut in funding. She explained that the U.S. House of Representatives has passed the 2006 CDBG budget, but it is not known what affect Hurricane Katrina will have on the final budget amount. Ms. Bergsvik noted that the Human Services Advisory Committee decided to extend the 2005 public service contracts to 2006, so the CDBG grants will have the same two- year funding cycle as the general fund. Ms. Bergsvik stated that the Human Services Advisory Committee recommended that the 2006 CDBG capital funds be distributed to the City of Renton Housing Repair Program($164,546) and to the Multi Service Center for employment services ($21,104). She reported that the advisory committee recently recommended that the 2006 funding allocation to HomeSight(first .1 1.4 September 19,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 314 time home buyer program)be cancelled, and that the funds be allocated to the Housing Repair Program. She noted that HomeSight did receive 2005 funding from Renton,Tukwila, and Home Funds. .wrM In conclusion,Ms. Bergsvik indicated that agencies receiving CDBG funding must meet certain criteria, including meeting one of three national objectives, and serving at least 70% low and moderate-low income persons. She pointed out that although the funding of agencies can be switched from the CDBG funds to the general fund, they cannot be switched back. Public comment was invited. Erika Nuerenberg, DAWN (Domestic Abuse Women's Network)Board Member, 2410 NW 58th St., Seattle, 98107, stated that DAWN has been providing services to this community for 25 years, and thanked the City for its past support. She noted the proposed decrease in funding to DAWN and other agencies due to the reduction in the 2006 CDBG funding level, and questioned why some agencies were listed for CDBG funding, and others were listed for general funding. Continuing, Ms. Nuerenberg pointed out that the general fund level has held steady for the past three years, and there are no pending cuts for agencies funded by the general fund in 2006. She reviewed the amount of funds DAWN has received from Renton, the services DAWN provides, and the costs of providing those services. Pointing out that Dawn and other agencies depend on local cities to help provide services,Ms. Nuerenberg asked that the 2006 CDBG funding not be cut. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY NELSON, .� SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2005 and beyond.

Citizen Comment: Petersen- Inez Petersen, 3306 Lake Washington Blvd. N.,#3, Renton, 98056, announced Candidate Forum, Street that the Highlands Community Association (HCA) will host a candidate forum Repair on community access cable channel 77 on October 11th,featuring Brett 315 September 19,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 315 Kappenman and Councilman Dan Clawson. Additionally, she noted that the HCA board will interview the same candidates for rating purposes. ..� On another subject, Ms. Petersen displayed a photograph of a street near her residence, showing cracked pavement in a low spot on the street. She noted the issues with the private drainage system, and the costs to maintain the street and storm drain. Ms. Petersen indicated that the affected residents should not be financially liable for the maintenance of the City street and the storm drain, and asked that the cracks be repaired until costs for the pavement replacement and the storm system repairs can be integrated into the City's budget. Gregg Zimmerman, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator, explained that the City is responsible for maintaining the middle portion of the pavement of the dead-end street(that adjoins N. 33rd Pl.). The maintenance of the two sides of the street are the responsibility of the property owners. Noting that the water detention system was built in the right-of-way by a private developer, he stated that several developments throughout the City have private detention and water quality systems in City right-of-way, which are owned by the affected property owners. Mr. Zimmerman reported that the City has tried to change the drainage pattern on this street, but the catch basins cannot be lowered anymore as they are located on top of the private detention system.

October 3,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 336 PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Park Terrace, SE accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the 112th PI & Anacortes Ave NE public hearing to consider the proposed expanded annexation and zoning of 80 acres located generally between SE 112th Pl. on the north and NE 6th Pl. on the mod south, and between 136th Ave. SE on the west and 144th Ave. SE, if extended, on the east(Park Terrace). Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that this is the second of two public hearings on the expanded annexation proposal, the area of which was approved for expansion from 7.65 acres by the Boundary Review Board. He explained that 112 structures currently exist on this peninsula of unincorporated land, which abuts Renton on more than 80% of its perimeter. Public services are currently provided by Fire District#25, Water District#90, Renton water, Renton sewer, and the Renton School District. Reviewing the fiscal impact analysis,Mr. Erickson estimated that the City will realize a surplus of$481 at current development, and a surplus of$39,955 at full development. He reviewed the site's current King County zoning, and reported that Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the northern tip of the site as Residential Medium Density, for which R-10(ten dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed for this 3.14-acre area consisting of three parcels. The remaining 59.9 acres, consisting of 113 parcels, is designated Residential Single Family, for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. Mr. Erickson stated that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with Boundary Review Board objectives and City policies, and appears to serve the best interests and general welfare of Renton. Mr. Erickson noted the need to now continue the public hearing to 10/17/2005, as a 30-day separation is required per State law between the first public hearing and the second public hearing at which action will be taken on the matter. Councilmembers Briere and Persson recommended expanding the R-10 zone to include the parcels south and west of the Kingdom Hall Church parcel. Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch explained that an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is needed to expand the R-10 zone, and he indicated that staff will work with the property owners to that effect. He pointed out that the proposed annexation can proceed with the current R-8 designation, and a Comprehensive Plan amendment can be considered at a later time. Responding to Councilman Law's inquiry,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman confirmed that improvements are needed on Duvall Ave. NE(138th Ave. SE) in the estimated amount of$500,000. Public comment was invited. Bret Holmes, 3711 NE 10th Lane,Renton, 98056, stated that he is currently developing property located at 11827 141st Ave. SE, and expressed his support for the annexation. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler referred Mr. Holmes'concerns regarding the permitting process to Mr. Zimmerman. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL: CONCUR WITH THE BOUNDARY ..r REVIEW BOARD AND EXPAND THE PARK TERRACE ANNEXATION SITE TO 80 ACRES BY INCLUDING THE UNINCORPORATED 337 October 3,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 337 PENINSULA OF LAND TO THE NORTH AND EAST; SUPPORT FUTURE ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; AND CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO 10/17/2005 FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE ANNEXATION ORDINANCE AND THE R-8 AND R-10 REZONE ORDINANCES. CARRIED. Planning: Residential Uses in This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Commercial Arterial Zones accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the public hearing to consider zoning code amendments pertaining to residential uses in the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone. Rebecca Lind,Planner Manager, explained that the purpose of the amendments is to promote a better connection between the residential and commercial components of the CA zone. She reviewed the issues raised that led to these proposed changes, such as determining the purpose of residential development in the CA zone and whether stand-alone residential uses should be allowed. Ms. Lind noted that staff is working with the Planning and Development Committee and the Planning Commission on this matter. Ms. Lind reviewed the proposed CA zone changes, as follows: —Amend the purpose of the CA zone by stating "Limited residential uses may be integrated into the CA zone if there are permanent physical connections to commercial uses." —Allow attached and semi-attached housing in the NE 4th,Puget, and Sunset Business Districts, specifically limited to townhouse units with an administrative conditional use permit. —Disallow detached single-family units. �.. —Reduce the minimum lot size for attached residential plats. This allows for the development of platted townhomes. Currently, the 5000 square foot minimum lot size prevents the development of a fee simple ownership residential product. —Create development and design standards for the NE 4th,Puget, and Sunset Business Districts in the Commercial Business District Overlay. Ms. Lind detailed the following changes to commercial and residential uses: —Include public plazas at major intersections. —Designate future pads for development. —Limit parking to minimum requirement. —Require pedestrian connections between the entry and the street, from the parking area to the entry, and to adjacent uses. —Require design standards set for pedestrian connections. Continuing, Ms. Lind reviewed the changes to the residential only uses, which include: compliance with Urban Center design standards,rear access parking within an enclosed structure, and a modified street grid system for dwellings fronting on the street. In regard to the mixed use areas, changes include: limiting hammerhead turnarounds, reserving 1st floor development for commercial development, conforming to Urban Center Design Guidelines District B standards, and providing residential parking below surface for the residential use. Additionally, Ms. Lind reviewed the added conditional use criteria for residential uses in business districts. She noted the recommendation that October 3,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 338 residential uses may not be developed within 150 feet of the adjacent arterial, must be surrounded by a mix of uses, and must have a physical connection to other uses in the zone. mod Ms. Lind explained that the proposed changes tie the commercial and residential uses closer together, and still allow limited residential development in the business districts. She pointed out that as a conditional use,not every parcel, nor every project, will be suitable for residential development in the districts. Correspondence was read from Charlotte VanLaningham, Davis Real Estate Group, 1201 Monster Rd. SW, Suite 320,Renton, 98055, expressing concern regarding the proposed change that does not allow stand-alone residential projects to be developed within 150 feet of the adjacent arterial. She suggested that an option be included that allows the 150-foot rule to be waived administratively, and that the 150-foot rule not be applied when the parcel is less than 25,000 square feet. A memorandum was read from the Planning Commission requesting that if a development is to include residential as a conditional use, that there be a condition to have allocation for a public street grid for future use. Public comment was invited. Patrick Gilroy,LandTrust, Inc., 1560 140th Ave. NE, Suite 100, Bellevue, 98005, expressed his support for the changes to the CA zone, and commented that builders now prefer stand-alone townhouse development to stacked-flat development. Mr. Gilroy recommended allowing the Development Services Division some flexibility to work with design standards at the building permit stage. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL REFER THE TWO ITEMS OF CORRESPONDENCE TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

He noted that the Northwest Area Foundation identified the following trend in this Central South King County area: the shift in urban poverty from urban, inner-city neighborhoods to the "first ring" communities at the larger city's edge. Mr. Carlson reported that a community-developed and driven strategic plan was developed to tackle poverty. The plan consists of four strategies: improve family stability, enhance economic opportunity, invest in children and youth, and build strong communities. He indicated that a team of community advocates representing the diverse geographic and ethnic communities within BuRSST is being deployed to build connections within and among the communities. Additionally, a multi-cultural training institute is being launched now to help develop and train new community leaders. 345 October 10,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 345 PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Leitch, SE 136th accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the St& 140th Ave SE public meeting to consider the 10% Notice of Intent to annex petition for the ... proposed Leitch Annexation; 14.6 acres bounded generally by 140th Ave. SE, if extended, on the west, 143rd Ave. SE, if extended, on the east, SE 136th St., if extended, on the north, and SE 138th St., if extended on the south.

Reviewing the public services, he noted the site is served by Fire District#25, Water District#90,Renton sewer, and the Renton School District. Existing King County zoning is R-4 (four dwelling units per gross acre), and Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density for which R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. Continuing,Mr. Erickson pointed out that improvements on SE 136th St., 140th Ave. SE, and 143rd Ave. SE are needed to meet City standards, and will mostly likely be paid for by developers. He also pointed out the potential drainage problems, noting that King County's 2005 Surface Water Manual, Level 2 standards are recommended for new development. Mr. Erickson stated that the fiscal impact analysis indicates a surplus of$450 at current development and a surplus of$13,773 at full development, assuming an increase to 46 single- family homes. Additionally, he noted the estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost of$20,984. In conclusion,Mr. Erickson reported that the annexation proposal is generally NNW consistent with Renton policies and Boundary Review Board criteria.

Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that Renton is participating in the annexation workshops, and pointed out that Renton supports annexations when they are in the best interest of the City.

MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION AS READ. CARRIED. PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in WHEN Council: Initiative 912 (Motor accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Vehicle Fuel Taxes Repeal) public meeting to consider State Initiative 912 concerning motor vehicle fuel taxes and transportation infrastructure, which will be on the November ballot. Gregg Zimmerman,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator,reported that following his summary presentation on I-912, Dave Warner will present the "no" position on the initiative, and Wynn Cannon will present the "yes" position. Mr. Zimmerman stated that earlier this year,the State Legislature approved the Transportation Partnership Act(TPA), a 16-year expenditure plan to address transportation needs that is funded mostly by a phased-in 9.5-cent-per-gallon gas tax increase. He explained that I-912, which repeals this gas tax, eliminates $5.475 billion in fuel taxes and net bond proceeds, which is 60% to 80% of the funding for approximately 265 new transportation projects specified by the Legislature. Approximately$562 million for local government transportation projects over 16 years will also be eliminated. He noted that I-912 does not affect scheduled increases in the State tax on diesel fuel. Continuing,Mr. Zimmerman reviewed some of the larger regional projects in and around the Renton area to be funded through the TPA, including improvements to I-405 from SR-167 to SR-169, NE 44th St. to 112th Ave. SE, I-5 to West Valley Hwy., and the interchange at Talbot Rd. Local projects, estimated to receive$1.3 million in new fuel tax revenue over six years, include the SW 27th St./Strander Blvd. connection,Rainier Ave. and Hardie Ave. improvements, and the NE 3rd and 4th Street Corridor. Major regional projects include the SR-99/Alaskan Way Viaduct, SR-520 Bridge replacement, I-405 555 October 17,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 355 Corridor improvements (total), and bridge seismic retrofit. Mr. Zimmerman indicated that in addition to the transportation projects, the gas tax also funds grants for small city pavement programs, safe routes to schools, and pedestrian and bicycle safety. Mr. Zimmerman concluded that if I-912 is approved, the four step increases in the motor vehicle fuel tax enacted during the 2005 State legislative session will be repealed. Taxes will return to the pre-2005 rate, and revenue for the anticipated increase will not be available for the earmarked transportation projects. Dave Warner,Transportation Engineer with a private firm and spokesman for the No on 912 Committee,pointed out that the transportation projects (nickel projects)funded by the five-cent-per-gallon gas tax enacted in 2003 show that the Washington State Department of Transportation(WSDOT) is accountable. Currently, 26 projects are under construction, eight were completed early, four were completed on time, and one was completed late. Additionally,the 2003 to 2005 budget cycle finished 349 construction projects, which were completed 10% below budget. He emphasized the accountability measures the TPA has in place, such as the quarterly progress reports and the transportation performance audit board, and pointed out that the cost, cash flow, and construction start times for the projects have been identified. Mr. Warner reported that Statewide, approximately 90% of the projects from the TPA program will be completed. Of those projects, there are over 200 at risk structures that will be replaced or retrofitted. He indicated that this region is at high risk for natural disasters, and many projects will address those risks, as well as safety issues. Congestion relief and freight mobility projects are also planned. Mr. Warner reviewed the funding for the Alaskan Way Viaduct and SR-520 floating bridge projects, and noted that some improvements will be funded through another upcoming regional package proposal by the Regional Transportation Investment District(RTID). Mr. Warner stated that over the next 16 years, Renton will take in over$4.3 million dollars for transportation improvements through the TPA. In conclusion, he emphasized that WSDOT will continue to be accountable, and that the transportation projects will be completed. Wynn Cannon,member of the Steering Committee for Initiative 912 and chairman of the League of Washington Taxpayers, stated his concerns regarding the lack of plans for many of the earmarked transportation projects. Pointing out that there is no completion guarantee for any of the projects,he said money from the tax increases is not legally required to be spent on a single project. Therefore, the projects should not be viewed as projects that will be completed, but as projects that will potentially be cut. Mr. Cannon indicated that projects such as the Alaskan Way Viaduct and the SR-520 floating bridge lack clear plans, and stressed that a finished plan must come before the funding. He noted the funding package that Sound Transit plans on presenting to voters, and pointed out that the five-cent gas tax should have addressed US Highway 12, SR-9, and US 395 safety improvements. Mr. Cannon also noted that the RTID funding package proposal will increase taxes for continued funding of the underfunded TPA program. He stated that the underfunding will require a large tax increase of some type. October 17,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 356 Continuing, Mr. Cannon said the primary transportation problem is congestion, which is not addressed in the TPA program. He emphasized that the State of Washington is fortunate to have an initiative process, and expressed his concerns regarding the way the TPA legislation was written and presented. Mr. Cannon predicted that the transportation revenue bill enacted to increase the fuel tax will be defeated. He concluded that a plan is needed before the money is spent. Councilman Clawson pointed out some of the problems Renton faces in regards to traffic congestion, and asked Mr. Cannon how transportation projects should be funded and if he would he support an initiative that calls for a higher gas tax to fund projects. Mr. Cannon stated that taxpayers want a plan that is clearly defined, and he would support an increased.gas tax when he sees what the gas tax is going to provide for the State.

CARRIED. (See page 360 for ordinances.) Vacation: Aberdeen Ave NE, This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Dohrn, VAC-05-003 accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the public hearing to consider the petition to vacate an unopened portion of Aberdeen Ave. NE right-of-way, 30 feet in width and 255 feet in length, located south of NE 40th St.at Monterey Pl. NE. (Ron G. Dohm; VAC-05-003). Karen McFarland,Engineering Specialist,stated that pursuant to State and City Code, more than two-thirds of the abutting property owners must sign the October 17,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 357 357 vacation petition. In this case, 100% of the abutting owners have signed the petition. She pointed out that the City does not own any facilities in the right- of-way, and that Coal Creek Utility District owns an eight-inch water line in the rn.. southern portion of the right-of-way. Ms. McFarland explained that the petitioner seeks this vacation in association with the proposed Dohrn Short Plat to reduce the limitations on development of the site, and to reduce future congestion. Additionally, the petitioner contends that development of the right-of-way into a road will unnecessarily duplicate the access provided by 113th Ave. SE. Since this right-of-way is undeveloped, Ms. McFarland stated that City Code does not require special notification to property owners in the vicinity; however, three City of Newcastle property owners to the east of the site were notified. She reported that the vacation petition received no objections when circulated to City department and outside agencies. Planning/Building/Public Works Department staff recommends that the vacation be approved, subject to Coal Creek Utility District receiving any necessary easements. Public comment was invited. Ron Dohrn, 3767 Monterey Pl. NE, Renton, 98056, introduced himself as the petitioner, and asked Council to approve the vacation. Mark Shinn, 8529 113th Ave. SE, Newcastle, 98056, thanked City staff for explaining the vacation process to him, and inquired as to why he was not asked to sign the petition since his property abuts the vacation area. City Attorney Larry Warren explained that when the City owns a right-of-way, it does not own the underlying fee interest in the property. The fee interest remains with the original dedicating owner. He stated that in this instance, the full vacation area came from one dedication, and the party that dedicated the property still owns the underlying fee. Therefore, the property dedicator is 100% of the abutting property owners to this particular vacation. Mr. Warren added that when the property is vacated, all of the property will go to the underlying fee owner. Additionally, Mr. Shinn asked that the surrounding property owners be informed of the future development. James Toole, 11505 SE 85th Lane, Newcastle, 98056,commended City staff for helping him understand the vacation process. Pointing out that his property abuts the vacation area,Mr. Toole indicated that he does not want a street behind his property. He urged Council to approve the vacation. Mary Toole, 11505 SE 85th Lane, Newcastle, 98056, spoke in favor of the street vacation, saying that she does not want the subject property to be a street. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL APPROVE THE STREET VACATION REQUEST SUBJECT TO THE PETITIONER PROVIDING SATISFACTORY PROOF THAT COAL CREEK UTILITY DISTRICT HAS RECEIVED AND IS SATISFIED WITH ANY EASEMENTS NECESSARY TO PROTECT ITS FACILITIES IN THE VACATION AREA.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Mosier II, 140th accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Ave SE, SE 136th St public hearing to consider the proposed expanded annexation and zoning of 65 acres located between 140th Ave. SE and Lyons Ave. NE, north of SE 136th St. (Mosier II). Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that this is the first of two public hearings on the zoning for the expanded annexation proposal. Mr. Erickson discussed the history of the annexation, stating that the original 10.4-acre annexation submitted in June 2004,was expanded by Council to 31 acres. In February 2005, Council accepted the 60%petition and held the first of two required public hearings. The City of Renton invoked the Boundary Review Board's (BRB)jurisdiction in May 2005 and requested the boundaries be expanded. The BRB met on August 19, 2005, and expanded the boundaries by 34 acres. Reviewing the existing conditions of the area, Mr. Erickson reported that the expanded site is within Renton's Potential Annexation Area(PAA)and abuts Renton on a portion of its western,northern and eastern boundaries. There are wetlands northwest of the site, a Class 4 stream on the site, and the topography is relatively flat. Fire District#25,Water District#90, Renton sewer, and the Renton School District currently provide public services. Mr. Erickson stated that 83 single-family homes exist on the site. He described the differences between the original and expanded areas, noting that the 13-lot subdivision directly north of the original proposal would have been left as an unincorporated island if it had not been included in the expanded annexation area. In regards to the fiscal impact analysis, Mr. Erickson estimated a deficit of $8,779 at current development and a surplus of$35,788 at full development. He emphasized that even with the City's 6% utility tax, homeowners will save approximately $100 per year on property taxes and combined fees. Mr. Erickson reviewed the site's current King County zoning,reporting that ..r Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the original 31 acres, and the nine acres directly north of Maplewood Heights Elementary School, as R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre) zoning. October 24,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 367 3, 67 The remaining area is designated as R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre) zoning. He noted that the proposed R-4-zoned area is one of three former R-5- zoned sites grandfathered in at a maximum density of five dwelling units per net acre. In conclusion,Mr. Erickson stated that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with BRB objectives and City policies, and appears to serve the best interests and general welfare of Renton. Responding to Councilman Clawson's question regarding the cost and revenue calculations for street improvements, Mr. Erickson stated that this particular annexation includes existing subdivisions that most likely have inferior streets requiring the expenditure of more money. However, when a typical annexation comes into the City, new streets are developed that require little maintenance. He noted that the average City street is designed to a 20-year standard rather than King County's ten-year standard. Public comment was invited. Norman Green, 14128 SE 132nd St.,Renton, 98059, opposed the annexation, stating his disapproval of Council's decision to invoke the BRB's jurisdiction to increase the boundaries of the annexation area. Mr. Green said affected residents in the expanded annexation area did not have the same opportunities to participate in the annexation process as the original petitioners. He commented that the Council's previous actions and perceived attitudes are contributing to the distrust and anti-annexation position of many potential contributing residents in the East Renton Plateau. Bill Welsheimer, 13633 144th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, stated his opposition to the annexation, and expressed concerns regarding the development of the East Renton Plateau area. He also stated his opposition to the Growth Management Act, and opined that the increase in density in the area will reduce the quality of life. Mr. Erickson noted that this is the fourth public hearing held on the proposed annexation, and the second public hearing on the expanded area, including the one held by the BRB in August 2005.

Ms. Bishai voiced Mosier II Annexation, 140th concerns about the types and density of housing allowed in Renton's R-8 zone Ave SE, SE 136th St compared to King County's R-4 zone,and questioned the reasons for changing .� the zoning designation. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler and Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed the characteristics of Renton's R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre) and R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre)zones, pointing out that they are both residential and allow only detached single-family units. Councilman Clawson and Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch described the similarities and differences between Renton's and King County's zoning of the area. Mr. Pietsch pointed out that Renton's R-4 zone is a downzone for the area. Councilman Clawson explained that Renton and King County are in agreement that eventually all of Renton's Potential Annexation Area(PAA) in the East Renton Plateau will be annexed to the City. He noted that annexation is not a matter of if,but when, and he expressed concern that people may feel they are being annexed against their will. Council Clawson reviewed the advantages of being a Renton resident, including the ability to take advantage of City amenities at Renton resident rates. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler added that residents are not required to hook up to City sewer,but sewer is available if needed. She noted that sewer hook up is required when property is redeveloped. Mr. Covington stated that due to the Growth Management Act (GMA) adopted Lin 1990, cities are required to increase density in their corporate limits. The GMA also requires cities to eventually annex their PAAs. Mr. Covington stressed that this process is not unique to the City of Renton; all municipalities are required to abide by the GMA.

He showed pictures taken at the event, and reviewed the Police Department vision for future car shows, which includes increasing the number of vehicles, expanding family activities, and moving the 2007 event to downtown Renton. Mr. Medzegian presented Police Chief Garry Anderson with a check in the amount of$3,200. Chief Anderson accepted the money with appreciation, saying that the Police Department just authorized two grants to the Renton School District for a middle school learning program. AJLS: Mayor's Presentation of Mayor Keolker-Wheeler presented her proposed City of Renton 2006 Budget to 2006 Budget members of the City Council and Renton citizens. She acknowledged the policy work and guidance provided by the City Council, and the efforts of City staff. The Mayor reviewed the 2005 achievements, which include: RenStat(a program that addresses, identifies, and targets crime), the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco(broke ground this summer on its new facility in Renton), downtown redevelopment, the securing of Federal and Sound Transit funds for important transportation projects,REACT(a program that addresses non- criminal activities and nuisance abatement), volunteerism such as the Mayor's Planting Day, the Clean Sweep program,the operation of the Henry Moses Aquatic Center at a profit, and the master plan for the Heather Downs neighborhood park. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler noted the continuing challenge of high expectations versus limited resources. Voter-enacted limits on taxes and State mandated tax exemptions continue to constrain the City's revenues. Reporting that property ,f 7 V November 7,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 378 taxes make up almost one-third of the City's general governmental revenues, she explained that with the limit on the amount the City can collect and the continuing increase in the value of property, the actual amount of the tax levy declines. It has declined over the past ten years from$3.60 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation to$3.07. She pointed out that in the meantime, the growing economy has added significant new construction and annexations, which helps the property tax base grow. Turning to the key 2006 initiatives, the Mayor began with the promotion of neighborhood revitalization by proposing the continuation of the REACT program, which includes adding three police officers; the continuation of the Clean Sweep program; and the completion of the Highlands Sub-Area Plan. The promotion of Citywide economic development includes the redevelopment of the Boeing property ("The Landing" project), the Downtown Action Plan, and on-going business recruitment. Continuing, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler discussed the management of growth through sound urban planning, highlighting various transportation projects. She noted that the proposed budget includes funds to build the Heather Downs neighborhood park, and a new parks and facilities maintenance complex. In regards to annexations, the Mayor explained that State and King County policies require the City to explore annexing surrounding unincorporated areas. The City is trying to respond to these demands in a balanced and objective way that does not negatively impact existing residents. Continuing with the meeting of service demands that contribute to a livable community, the Mayor reported that the proposed budget maintains existing service levels, proposes no new taxes, does not use reserves to balance the General Governmental Budget, updates user fees such as fire inspection fees ...r► and system development charges, and implements an annexation fee. The budget proposal adds: three police officers, one fire inspector, one fire support staff member, local matching funds for a grant to potentially add three firefighters, court security measures, and two staff positions and others costs related to operating the new Maplewood Water Treatment Facility. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that the total proposed 2006 Budget is approximately$171.2 million, of which$72.5 million is the General Governmental Budget. The proposed budget includes increasing the water and stormwater system rates by 3%, and the wastewater system rate by 4%. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler proposed that the City Council partner with her in 2006 to engage in a comprehensive "priorities of government" process with the following goals in mind: alignment of City services with community needs and priorities,continued accountability, and effective communication. She explained that the City needs to strike the right balance between what the community needs from its local government, and the amount of resources necessary to accommodate those needs. The Mayor emphasized that this process will be a way to examine unmet needs, and ensure that the City is using its scarce resources in the best way possible. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Querin II, accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Hoquiam Ave NE public hearing to consider the 60% Petition to Annex and R-8 zoning for the proposed Querin H Annexation; 7.3 acres located between Hoquiam Ave. NE now on the west and 144th Ave. SE, if extended, on the east, south of SE 112th St. November 7,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 379 3 7 9 Senior Planner Don Erickson reported that the annexation area contains three single-family dwellings. The topography of the site is relatively flat where it abuts Hoquiam Ave. NE, and the eastern portion contains steep slopes as a .� result of Honey Creek and its ravine. He noted that King County's 2005 surface water design standards or greater are recommended at the time of development. The site is served by the following public services: Fire District#25,Water District#90,Renton sewer, and the Renton School District. Mr. Erickson stated that existing King County zoning is R-4 (four dwelling units per gross acre), and the Renton Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Single Family, for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. He indicated that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City annexation policies and relevant Boundary Review Board criteria. In regards to the fiscal impact analysis, Mr. Erickson estimated a surplus of$236 at current development, a surplus of$9,278 at full development, and a one-time parks acquisition and development cost of $27,176. Mr.Erickson indicated that the proposed annexation does not present any major impediments to the provision of City services to the area. He concluded that the annexation appears to further Renton business goals and is in the best interests of the City. Public comment was invited. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler referred the request by Virginia Broyles, 11224 142nd Ave. SE,Renton, 98059,for information regarding utility rates and the sewer system to Mr. Erickson. mom Jim Montcrief, 11216 142nd Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, stated that an additional house exists in the annexation area, for a total of four dwellings. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE QUERIN II DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX, SUPPORT R-8 ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY LAND USE DESIGNATION, AND AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO SUBMIT THE NOTICE OF INTENT PACKAGE TO THE BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD. CARRIED. Planning: Boeing Subdistrict This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in 113 Conceptual Plan accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the public hearing to consider the Boeing Subdistrict 113 Conceptual Plan for a second phase of redevelopment of surplus property located south of N. 8th St. and east of Logan Ave. N. Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator, explained that conceptual planning is a requirement of the 2003 development agreement between the City and Boeing, which pertains to the future redevelopment of Boeing Renton Plant site. Conceptual planning provides the City with certainty that its vision will be met, and confidence for its infrastructure commitments. He reported that three `n subdistricts were created within this site, which bears the Urban Center-North (UC-N) land use designation, and pointed out that a conceptual plan has already been adopted for Subdistrict IA. November 7,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 380 Mr. Pietsch reviewed the conceptual plan requirements, which include consistency with the UC-N vision, a description of the development, and an economic benefit analysis. He indicated that the Subdistrict 1B Conceptual Plan divides the property into two distinct parts. The northern 21 acres is currently under a "right of first offer" agreement with Harvest Partners and likely will be sold in the very near future and be used for retail development. The southern 31 acres, which is not expected to be declared surplus in the near future, contains 660,000 square feet of existing office buildings and remaining land for in-fill development. Continuing,Mr. Pietsch reviewed the economic benefits associated with the development of the two parts of Subdistrict 1B such as job creation and revenues, and he noted that the conceptual plan meets the vision of the UC-N designation. He reported that staff proposes the following two conditions to the plan: 1)Park Ave. N. be designated as a pedestrian-oriented street, and 2) transit facilities be allowed within the northern 21-acre portion should funding opportunities arise and the development of such facilities support the surrounding development and be supported by the property owner(s). Mr. Pietsch stated that staff recommends approval, with conditions, of the Boeing Subdistrict 113 Conceptual Plan. He indicated that the related Committee of the Whole report will be presented to Council for adoption,and if approved,Boeing will then present its Planned Action for Council consideration. Responding to Councilman Clawson's inquiry regarding the potential transit facility and the financing of the infrastructure, Mr. Pietsch stated that Sound Transit's Sound Move 2 plan consists of a parking garage and a bus rapid transit facility. He described future road and trunk utility infrastructure improvements, including the realignment and widening of Park Ave. N., the widening of Logan Ave. N., a new N. 10th St., and the extension of N. 8th St. He explained that as part of the 2003 Boeing development agreement, the City will build main arterial roads and trunk utility lines deemed necessary for the project as long as there is revenue from the development allowing two-thirds of that revenue to support debt service on bonds. The remaining one-third would be for the general fund to support City services. Discussion ensued regarding the number of lanes proposed for Logan Ave. N., the improvements to various area streets such as Park Ave. N. and Garden Ave. N., the ability of the utility infrastructure to support future expansion of the roads, and the traffic flow in the area. In response to Councilman Corman's comments,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman noted that the City is reevaluating the traffic counts as part of the design process for the area's roadway system, and he described the findings and the adjustments that are being made. Public comment was invited. Ray Giometti, 323 Pelly Ave. N.,Renton, 98055, suggested that the widening of Logan Ave. N. occur sooner than later; otherwise, traffic will be forced onto Park Ave. N., fracturing the North Renton neighborhood. Pointing out that his neighborhood is located across the street from the southern 31-acre portion of Subdistrict 1B, Mr. Giometti expressed opposition to the development of the mod land for big-box retail use. November 7,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 381 " Mike O'Donin,423 Pelly Ave. N.,Renton, 98055,expressed concern that Logan Ave. N. will become a traffic choke point, thereby increasing transit traffic on Park Ave. N. He asked for further review of the Logan Ave. N. Now expansion. Richard Zwicker,446 Pelly Ave. N.,Renton, 98055, agreed with the previous speakers'comments. He confirmed that the original plan was for Logan Ave. N. to be the main thoroughfare, and for Park Ave. N. to be pedestrian friendly. In response to Council inquiries, Mr. Pietsch confirmed that the street network design was adopted in the 2003 development agreement with Boeing, and the subject conceptual plan is a separate matter. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington pointed out that since Boeing owns the right-of-way on Logan Ave. N., the City does not have the ability to expand the road beyond three lanes at this time. Councilmembers Corman and Palmer suggested further review of the transportation plan for the subject area. Lee Chicoine,406 Burnett Ave. N., Renton, 98055, expressed concern about the flow and amount of traffic, saying that he wants Logan Ave. N. expanded to five lanes to prevent a choke point. Nora Schultz, 540 Williams Ave. N.,Apt. 12,Renton, 98055, stated her desire for consistent traffic flow on Logan Ave. N., and less traffic on N. 6th St. Ms. Schultz suggested further review of the matter.

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 2005 and beyond. Items noted included: City Hall Information Desk volunteers were recently presented certificates of appreciation at a dinner hosted by City Clerk Division staff. Since the program's establishment in 1984, the volunteers have given over 51,000 hours of excellent service to the City. Work is now underway on the SW 27th St./Strander Blvd. Connection, Segment 1, construction project, which initially will provide access to the proposed Federal Reserve Bank facility and, ultimately, will result in a new five-lane arterial connecting Renton and Tukwila. AUDIENCE COMMENT Sandel DeMastus, 1137 Harrington Ave. NE,Renton, 98056, said she is an Citizen Comment: DeMastus - independent producer with public access cable channel 77, and announced that Firefighter Tribute Program she has completed her firefighter tribute program, which will air on channel 77. She presented a copy of the program to the Council, and suggested that it be cablecast on Renton's government access channel 21 as well. 5 8 G November 7,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 382 Citizen Comment: Blake - Jay Paul Blake, 17627 133rd Pl. SE,Renton, 98058, stated that he is a member Fairwood Incorporation of the Fairwood community, and asked the City to consider initiating the annexation of the proposed Fairwood Incorporation area into Renton's boundaries. Noting that he has attended several meetings organized by the NJ Fairwood Task Force, he expressed his dismay at the inaccuracy of some of the statements made by the speakers. Mr. Blake indicated that he opposes the incorporation for reasons related to the limited financial viability of proposed city. Mr. Blake cited passages from the Fairwood Incorporation feasibility study concerning the proposed city's financial viability. MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL ALLOW THE SPEAKER FIVE ADDITIONAL MINUTES FOR HIS COMMENTS. CARRIED. Mr. Blake continued with his review of the feasibility study. He concluded that Renton is in a strong financial position, and consequently, the residents of the Fairwood area will be best served by being annexed to the City of Renton. Citizen Comment: Finlayson - Laurie Finlayson, 14224 SE 163rd Pl., Renton, 98058, supported Mr. Blake's Fairwood Incorporation request that Renton consider annexing the Fairwood area. She expressed her surprise at some Fairwood residents'negative opinions of Renton, and surmised it may be because they do not relate to Renton since much of the area resides within the Kent School District. Ms. Blake indicated that the analysis of the financial feasibility of the proposed city did not convince her that incorporation will work. She stated her desire to be apprised of all the options, including a comparison of both incorporation and annexation to Renton, in order to make an informed decision. ...r Discussion ensued regarding the Fairwood Incorporation effort;Renton's practice to wait for parties to express interest in annexing to the City; regulations concerning the allowance of an annexation effort while an incorporation effort is pending; the possibility of an advisory vote on the interest of Fairwood residents annexing to Renton; the unlikelihood that the vote for the Fairwood Incorporation will occur in February 2006, as the Boundary Review Board will be conducting hearings in January and February; Fairwood residents'perception of Renton; Council's stance on the annexation of the Fairwood area to Renton; and the provision of information concerning annexation to Renton. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler asked Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch to research the questions that surfaced during the discussion. Councilman Clawson acknowledged the consent of the Councilmembers for the continued conveyance of information regarding annexation to Renton.

Ms. Ray described the location of the bank(west of SR-167 and south of I-405), which is within the Green/Duwamish and Cedar/Sammamish watersheds, and noted that all five parcels within the 130-acre bank are currently owned by Renton. Ms. Ray explained that a wetland mitigation bank is wetland restoration set up in advance of project development to compensate for wetland impacts in the service area. The service area is a geographical area where projects can draw from the bank. This banking approach sets aside a larger, connected wetland area with credits that can be sold for wetland mitigation. She pointed out that WSDOT will increase habitat diversity and flood storage capacity at the bank, as well as improve water quality,enhance hydrologic function, and provide educational value. Ms. Trussler reviewed the forthcoming agreements related to the bank between the City and WSDOT, and the terms and timing of the agreements. Additionally, she reviewed agreements needed with other entities, such as King County Drainage District#1. She concluded by detailing the bank project milestones, which indicate construction starting at the end of 2006, and the opening of the bank to the public in the fall of 2008. PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Hudson,Benson accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Rd S &SE 168th St public meeting to consider the 10%Notice of Intent petition for the proposed �+ Hudson Annexation; 14.6 acres located west of Benson Rd. S. and south of SE 168th St. November 14,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 391 3 `J 1 Don Erickson, Senior Planner, reported that the western portion of the site is relatively flat, and the eastern portion slopes down toward the headwaters of Soos Creek. He noted that staff recommends the use of King County's 2005 r... Surface Water Design Manual at the time of development. The site contains 19 single-family homes, 152 multi-family units, and at least one vacant parcel. Reviewing the public services,Mr.Erickson indicated that the site is within Fire District#40, Soos Creek Water and Sewer District, and the Renton School District. Mr. Erickson stated that the site is currently zoned R-8 (eight dwelling units per gross acre),R-12, and R-18 in King County. The Renton Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Residential Single Family and Residential Medium Density, for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre)and R-10 zoning is proposed. The fiscal impact analysis indicates a deficit of$52,349 at full development due to the area already being significantly developed, and an estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost of$138,108. In conclusion, Mr. Erickson reported that the annexation proposal is generally consistent with City policies and relevant Boundary Review Board objectives. He pointed out that surface water costs are estimated at$3,258 per year,and the City will be responsible for the cost of a traffic signal and other improvements at the intersection of 108th Ave. SE and SE 168th St. Responding to Council President Briere's inquiry regarding the deficit and including more developable land in the annexation area, Mr. Erickson noted that it may be possible to invoke jurisdiction of the Boundary Review Board to expand the boundaries of the site to the north, as the parcels in that area appear to be underdeveloped. low Public comment was invited. Terri Arnold, 14700 SE Petrovitsky Rd., Renton, 98058, spoke on behalf of Bruce Hudson, a signer of the petition. She relayed that Mr. Hudson wishes to annex to Renton for the following reasons: timely fire and police service, lower taxes, higher property values,efficient building permit process, and his already deep involvement in the Renton community. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE HUDSON 10% ANNEXATION PETITION, AND AUTHORIZE CIRCULATION OF THE 60% DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX SUBJECT TO PROPERTY OWNERS SUPPORTING ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ASSUMING A PROPORTIONAL SHARE OF THE CITY'S BONDED INDEBTEDNESS. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Comprehensive Plan: 2005 accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Amendments, Inclusion of public hearing to consider an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan land use West Hill in PAA map to include the approximately 1,930-acre West Hill in Renton's Potential Annexation Area(PAA). Rebecca Lind,Planner Manager,reported that Renton's original Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 1993, included West Hill in the Renton PAA. The West Hill area was removed from the PAA in 1998 due to uncertainty about the fiscal 1, 9 2 November 14,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 392 implications of a possible annexation. As a result of the King County Annexation Initiative, King County established the West Hill Governance Alternatives Task Force to provide citizen input and community dialogue about annexation. She indicated that the task force has asked Renton to consider adding West Hill to its PAA. "'O Ms. Lind stated that King County contracted with Berk and Associates for an analysis of governance options for the West Hill (West Hill Governance Alternatives Assessment). The City subsequently contracted with the same consultants to analyze the impacts of a possible annexation of West Hill (Assessment of the Fiscal Impact of Annexation of West Hill). She pointed out that the information from these reports provides the basis to reconsider the 1998 decision about the PAA boundary. Continuing,Ms. Lind explained that being in Renton's PAA means the City agrees to provide services in the future, and that annexation requests from residents/property owners must be made to Renton and not to another city. Ms. Lind emphasized that adding the area to the PAA is a City decision. Annexation is a property owner and voter decision, and can be conducted via two methods: 60% direct petition or election. She noted that the services and governance of West Hill would remain in King County with the PAA change. In regards to the timing of the proposal, Ms. Lind said the City reviews its Comprehensive Plan once a year per State law, with the only exception being an emergency. If Renton does not act this year, the decision will be delayed for one year. She pointed out that the data from the studies is current to 2005, and no more new data or information will be brought forth over the course of the coming year. Ms. Lind reviewed the fiscal impact study, highlighting the different annexation "'O scenarios of the three areas within West Hill, as well as the long-range fiscal impacts. She stated that staff recommends including the entire West Hill area within Renton's PAA based on information from the studies, which indicate that incorporation of the area is not cost effective, future annexation of a portion of the area is not cost effective, and residents from the entire area identify with Renton. Continuing, Ms. Lind reported that the City made a comparison of the existing King County land use designations to current Renton designations and potential zoning to ensure that the proposed Renton Comprehensive Plan designations are compatible with land use plans currently used for King County governance. She noted that Renton zoning would be determined at the time of annexation. In conclusion, Ms. Lind stated that the addition of West Hill in Renton's PAA can be accommodated within existing land use categories, that designating the area as part of the PAA will allow future discussion of annexation to occur, and that negotiation over future annexation will require additional analysis of funding and level of service requirements. Ms. Lind reported that the Planning Commission received correspondence stating positions on this matter as follows: Oppose: Christopher Sandford, 7535 S. Sunnycrest Rd., Seattle, 98178, and Maxine Woodcock,7829 S. 112th St., Seattle, 98178; Support: James Fick, 10644 Rainier Ave. S., Seattle, 98178, and Brian J.

Comments from opponents included: there is a preference for leaving the area the way it is (in unincorporated King County); annexation to Renton does not have widespread public support; West Hill task force members are not democratically elected and their recommendation is being forced upon area residents; there will be a revenue loss to Renton if the area is annexed,resulting in increased taxes and utilities; there will be a decrease in property and house values due to having a Renton rather than Seattle address; the number of residents surveyed by the consultants only amounted to approximately 3% of the area's population; there is a need for more review of the matter; there is concern regarding the length of time a signature is on an annexation petition; Seattle and Tukwila are shopping destinations, not Renton; there are concerns regarding provision of fire and police service; there are concerns regarding the reduction of library services; there is a lack of knowledge about the task force; r... inclusion in Renton's PAA precludes West Hill residents from annexing to another city; and West Hill identifies more with Seattle. The following people spoke in support of the proposal: Suzann Lombard, 10637 Rainier Ave. S., Seattle, 98178; David Paul Zimmerman, 7003 S. 132nd St., Seattle, 98178; James Routos, owner of a Skyway-area business, 11829 Renton Ave. S., Seattle, 98178;Wally Adams, 10729 Crestwood Dr. S., Seattle, 98178; Senator Margarita Prentice (1 lth District), 6245 S.

Comments from proponents included: a proposed pocket park at 10602 Rainier Ave. S. may benefit from Renton's Neighborhood Program and be a positive du addition to Renton; there is support for the process but more information is needed for a decision on annexation; the area already identifies with Renton; businesses in Skyway will be better served by Renton and better able to develop a vibrant economy thereby increasing City revenue; Renton is the logical city to annex to; there are concerns regarding infrastructure improvement costs and November 14,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 394 utility providers; the entire area should be annexed together; continued discussions on the matter are encouraged; there are more taxes in Seattle; Sound Transit projects will have a positive impact on land values; there is a desire for the revitalization of the Skyway business district; police and fire service will remain the same or improve; there is a need to think about the future; a survey conducted in 2000 found Renton was the preferred City if the area had to be annexed; Renton's leadership is important in the handling of its PAA; West Hill is within the Renton School District; the library is important to West Hill residents; things are not going to stay the same;police response times in King County are poor; the area should remain in the King County Library System; sewer projects are currently taking place in West Hill; the Skyway Water and Sewer District is on record in favor of annexation to Renton; and there is a need for the involvement of the community in future annexation discussions.

Langston Rd., Seattle, 98178; and Linda Stewart, 8425 S. 113th St., Seattle, 98178. They remarked on the need for more information to determine the best city to annex to-Seattle or Renton; the top-driven decision making rather than people-driven; the Growth Management Act directive that PAAs be determined by a consultation process with the cities surrounding the areas,the county, and the affected residents; concern that the proposal is being rushed; the need for additional time before a decision is made; and concern regarding the potential change of status of the employees at the Skyway Post Office. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. CARRIED. A break was taken at 8:58 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:05 p.m.; roll was called; all Councilmembers were present except Law,previously excused. Council and staff made the following comments and clarifications in response to the speakers'questions and concerns: —An annexation petition is not pending at this time; however, if annexation is pursued it will most likely be carried out via the election method rather than the petition method. —Petition signatures are only valid for 180 days. —The City would work with the area's fire district regarding fire service provision, and with King County regarding provision of library services. —Property values may be affected more by physical location of dwelling,rather than by the address. —The task force study found that Seattle would close the Bryn Mawr fire station, as well as the Skyway library. —Renton's fire department will be able to serve West Hill with equal or better service without the Bryn Mawr fire station, and will continue to operate the Skyway fire station and use the training facility. —The City has coordinated with the cities of Seattle and Tukwila with regard to the West Hill area. —In regards to the timing of the proposal,Renton is responding to a Comprehensive Plan Amendment request by the governance task force, which is one in a package of proposed amendments. The subject amendment can be removed and considered during next year's Comprehensive Plan cycle. moo November 14,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 395 '3 95 There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Planning: Highlands Sub-Area This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Plan Study Area Moratorium accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the public hearing to consider a six-month extension of the moratorium on new development in the R-10 (Residential -ten dwelling units per acre) and RM-F (Residential Multi-Family)zones in the Highlands Sub-Area Plan study area generally located between Aberdeen Ave. NE and Monroe Ave. NE, and between NE 23rd St. and NE 5th Pl. Rebecca Lind, Planner Manager, stated that a modification is proposed to properties affected by the original moratorium. She explained that during the last six months, several property owners in the R-10-zoned area on Monroe Ave. NE presented new information regarding the existence of covenants restricting the use of these properties. As a result, staff recommends that the R- 10 area located on Monroe Ave. NE, which is subject to the covenants, be excluded from the extended moratorium. Ms. Lind reported that exclusion is also requested of a R-10-zoned area that is part of a condominium development in the northern portion of the study area. In addition, she indicated that continuance of the exemption from the moratorium is still recommended for Renton School District properties, R-8- low zoned single-family neighborhoods, and commercially zoned areas that encourage mixed-use residential and commercial development at higher densities. Continuing,Ms.Lind explained that the moratorium extension will allow time for staff to continue work on the sub-area plan, and to complete the analysis of various land development and zoning options. She noted that an open house will be held on November 15th, where information will be presented regarding existing housing stock and conditions, ownership characteristics, existing infrastructure, and conceptual land use alternatives. Public comment was invited. Keith Thompson, 660 Index Pl. NE,Renton, 98056,reported that he owns three properties in the area, including his residence, and favors increased density in the Highlands. Mr. Thompson expressed concern about the moratorium extension, saying that he is reluctant to make the financial investment to improve his properties, if in a short period of time he will be tearing his buildings down. He stated his plan to retire next year, and noted the financial interest he has in his properties, and his concern as to how he is going to plan for and invest in the development of his properties during this process. Heidi Beckley, 806 Index Ct.,NE,Renton, 98056,expressed her support for the moratorium, noting that planning ultimately leads to more livability. Glenda Johnson, 1216 Monroe Ave. NE.,Renton, 98056, stated her agreement with the removal of the properties affected by the restrictive covenants from the moratorium area. November 14,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 396 Councilman Persson and the Mayor sympathized with Mr. Thompson's concerns with regards to planning. Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch noted the future possibility of the upzone of Mr. Thompson's property. Councilwoman Nelson noted the possibility that the moratorium may end prior now to the six-month term. Councilman Corman encouraged property owners to continue to maintain and improve their properties. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 399 for resolution.) Budget: 2006 Revenue This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Sources &Preliminary Budget accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the public hearing to consider the 2006 revenue sources and preliminary budget. Michael Bailey, Finance and Information Services Administrator, stated that the total 2006 Budget is approximately$171.2 million, and of that, approximately$72 million is the General Government budget provided mostly by taxes. He explained that the property tax limit the City is able to assess is $3.60 per$1,000 of assessed valuation; however, the 1% increase in total taxes on the existing tax base causes the actual levy amount to drop. Mr. Bailey noted that the City began to control the growth in property taxes prior to State Initiative 747. Mr. Bailey reported that the City's total tax assessed valuation increased by just over 10%, and over the last decade it has increased an average of 9% per year. The City receives 27% of the total property taxes collected within the City, and allocates those taxes to a variety of services. In regards to sales tax, Mr. Bailey stated that the City receives less than 10% of the total sales tax collected within the City, and sales tax receipts have grown 43% over the past ten years. Additionally, he noted that utility taxes have experienced a slow but steady climb over time. Continuing, Mr. Bailey explained that the expenditure of the funds to provide services are tied to Renton's Business Plan. The proposed 2006 Budget maintains existing service levels,contains no new taxes, does not require reserves to balance, and updates user fees. The budget proposal adds the following: three police officers; one fire inspector; one fire support staff; matching funds for a Federal grant for a potential of three additional firefighters; Municipal Court security measures; and costs associated with the new Maplewood Water Treatment Facility, which includes two staff positions. In conclusion, Mr. Bailey stated that in the non-general government areas,user fees are the exclusive source for paying for services. In order to pay for the increased cost of those services, some utility rate increases are proposed. Public comment was invited. Heidi Beckley, 806 Index Ct.,NE,Renton, 98056, stated that the Renton public library has been without a director for one and one-half years, and she asked that the position be added to the 2006 Budget. Pointing out that the City has advertised to replace the Museum Supervisor,Ms. Beckley suggested that rather than hiring a Museum Supervisor, the Library Director position be filled first. She expressed her appreciation for the museum, but noted that in a City maw services survey,citizens rated the importance of the library higher than the November 14,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 397 3 9 museum. Ms. Beckley stressed that the importance of the library to the community should take precedence over any favoritism for the museum. Councilmembers Corman and Clawson assured that the matter will be discussed. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

CARRIED. rr November 14,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 398 UNFINISHED BUSINESS Council President Briere presented a Committee of the Whole report Committee of the Whole recommending concurrence with the staff recommendation to adopt the Planning: Boeing Subdistrict conceptual plan proposed by The Boeing Company for the potential 1B Conceptual Plan redevelopment of 50.7 acres of Boeing property in the South Lake Washington Now area known as Subdistrict 1B with the conditions outlined below. The northern 21.2 acres of property is expected to become surplus and brought forward for redevelopment in the immediate future. This property is under a "right of first refusal" agreement with Harvest Partners, the owner and developer of the 46 acres of property formerly owned by Boeing immediately adjacent to this property to the north. Boeing proposes that this initial parcel be developed with as much as 270,000 square feet of retail. The remaining property is expected to be retained by Boeing for five to ten years. However, upon redevelopment, as much as 900,000 square feet of lab and/or office, as well as some additional retail and multi-family housing anticipated to be sold and reoccupied by other companies, could be developed in and around the 660,000 square feet of existing office buildings. To enhance the plan and its consistency with the vision and policies for the Urban Center-North designation adopted in the Comprehensive Plan,the following conditions should be imposed on the conceptual plan: 1)Park Ave. N. be designated as a "pedestrian-oriented street," to ensure an urban form of development and provide pedestrian linkages between the subdistrict and the planned retail/entertainment center expected to be developed to the north, and 2)A transit facility be an allowed use in the immediately available property, if funding for such a facility emerged and it was developed in a way that was supportive of surrounding redevelopment and supported by the property owner(s). The envisioned retail and employment center resulting from the redevelopment proposed under the conditioned conceptual plan will have positive economic and social impacts for the City as a whole. As outlined in the 2003 development agreement with Boeing, all subsequent land use applications related to this property will be checked against this document for consistency prior to approval. Pointing out that the committee report pertains only to the conceptual plan, Council President Briere assured that the City will continue to discuss the concerns expressed about the transportation plan for this area.

She concluded by expressing her appreciation for the opportunity to work for the City of Renton, and for the investments the City has made to its parks and recreation programs. Mayor Pro Tem Briere announced that this was Ms. Allen's final presentation as she is leaving the City's employment. Ms. Briere presented Ms. Allen with a certificate of appreciation in recognition of her contributions to the City. PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Perkins, SE 95th accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Pro Tem Briere opened the public Way & 128th Ave SE meeting to consider the 10% Notice of Intent petition for the proposed Perkins Annexation; 15.1 acres, including the Union Ave. NE right-of-way, generally located east of 128th Ave. SE(if extended), west of Union Ave. NE,north of SE 98th St. (if extended), and south of SE 95th Way. Don Erickson, Senior Planner, explained that three single-family dwellings exist on this site, which slopes to the north and drops nearly 65 feet with a slope of 13%. He noted that downstream drainage conveyance issues exist that will need to be rectified at the time of development. The estimated surface water mitigation cost per year is $4,040. Reviewing the public services,Mr. Erickson reported that Fire District#25,Renton sewer and water,and the Renton School District serve the site. .� Mr. Erickson stated that current King County zoning for the site is R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre), and the Renton Comprehensive Plan designation November 21,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 405 405 is Residential Low Density, for which R-4(four dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. He noted that since the site is within 600 feet of an existing R-8 zone,clustered development is allowed. Mr. Erickson reviewed the fiscal impact analysis, which revealed an estimated$11,403 surplus at full development, assuming 43 new single-family homes with an average assessed value of$450,000. The estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost is $15,213. In conclusion,Mr. Erickson stated that the annexation proposal is generally consistent with relevant City policies and Boundary Review Board criteria. Public comment was invited. Marion Vandermay, 9639 132nd Ave. SE,Renton, 98059,reported that she is the major landowner in the subject area and a resident of more than 50 years. She indicated that annexation to Renton is appropriate for this area. Glenn Perkins, 9623 132nd Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, stated that he is the initiator of the annexation. He spoke in favor of the annexation, saying that it is much easier to develop and sell property in Renton. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE PERKINS 10% ANNEXATION PETITION, AND AUTHORIZE CIRCULATION OF THE 60% DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX REQUIRING THAT PROPERTY OWNERS ACCEPT ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ASSUME A PROPORTIONAL SHARE OF �• THE CITY'S BONDED INDEBTEDNESS. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Comprehensive Plan: 2005 accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro Tem Briere opened the public Amendments, R-1 &RC hearing to consider amendments to the R-1 (Residential -one dwelling unit per Zones acre) and RC(Resource Conservation)zones, which are associated with Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2005-M-1,Low Density Residential Map Revisions. Erika Conkling, Associate Planner, explained that Comprehensive Plan Policy LU-135 requires a review of low density implementation to ensure consistency with Residential Low Density(RLD)objectives and policies. This includes review of the zoning and Comprehensive Plan designations,development standards, and allowed uses. RLD-designated lands include lands zoned RC,R- 1, and R-4. Ms. Conkling pointed out that the development standards and land uses are appropriate for the R-4 zone, and no changes are recommended. Ms. Conkling stated that the R-1 zone provides suitable land for residential development where pervasive sensitive areas exist, without compromising the sensitive areas. The zone provides for suburban estate and single-family dwellings, provides urban separators between neighboring jurisdictions, and prohibits incompatible uses that may be detrimental to the residential or natural environment. She conveyed that changes are not recommended for the zone's development standards; however,changes in the land use are recommended that limit activities of an urban size, scale,or intensity. The changes include prohibiting Adult Day Care II,Day Care Centers, Convalescent Centers, and Medical Institutions uses. 11 November 21,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 406 Continuing, Ms. Conkling reported that the RC zone provides some use of lands characterized by extensive critical areas, allows for agricultural uses,promotes uses compatible with the functions and values of sensitive areas and reduces the intensity of uses in accordance with the extent of the sensitive area. She explained that changes are not recommended for the development standards. Land use changes are recommended that limit or prohibit larger, more intensive uses for maximum sensitive area protection. Additionally, medium intensity uses will be allowed with additional review, and lower intensity uses will be allowed. Ms. Conkling indicated that the same four changes are recommended for the RC zone as in the R-1 zone, plus an additional six restrictions on other uses are proposed. Ms. Conkling stated that few private property owners will be adversely affected by the tightening of the use regulations. She noted that the RC zone is more that 75% in public ownership, and one-third of the lands in private ownership are open spaces held in common by subdivision homeowners. The R-1 and R-C zone changes only limit uses of an urban scale and intensity. By making these changes,Ms. Conkling said the City will be more consistent with its Comprehensive Plan, and the changes will promote and protect valuable resources for citizens and businesses. Ms. Conkling concluded that limiting uses of an urban size, scale, and intensity in the R-1 and RC zones will better protect sensitive areas and better serve the purposes of these zones. Public comment was invited. Richard Underwood, 2314 NE 28th St., Renton, 98056, stated that the recommended changes are adequate and fair. Now Correspondence was read from Bill H. Williamson,Attorney for Alicia Mena (Member of MT Development,LLC),PO Box 99821, Seattle, 98139, withdrawing Ms. Mena's application for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment submitted by her predecessor in interest, Sabina Molina, and recommending Council take no action to amend the Comprehensive Plan since it affects the Mena parcels. City Attorney Larry Warren stated that Ms. Mena's issue relates to the annexation of this property and the rezoning that would occur if the property was annexed. He pointed out that the issue has nothing to do with the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Mr. Warren explained that the property is included within a larger area being considered for an amendment, and Comprehensive Plan Amendments are part of the City's annual review of the Comprehensive Plan. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 413 for Planning and Development Committee Report.) Vacation: Rosario Ave SE, This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Jacques,VAC-05-004 accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro Tem Briere opened the public hearing to consider the petition to vacate a portion of Rosario Ave. SE right-of- way, approximately five feet in width and 133 feet in length, located north of SE 2nd Pl. (Petitioner: James Jacques). November 21,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 407 407 Karen McFarland,Engineering Specialist,explained that the petitioner is in the initial stages of designing a short plat, and if the vacation is approved, the right- of-way will allow development of an additional lot. She noted that the vacation area does not contain any City facilities. Ms. McFarland reported that the vacation request was circulated to various City departments and outside agencies for review and no objections were raised. However, the Community Services Department indicated that vacating the property may impact the King County Regional Trail System. Although King County has not formally responded, she said King County desires an easement so a future trail can be accommodated. Additionally,Comcast indicated that an easement is needed for its facilities. In conclusion,Ms. McFarland stated that staff recommends approval of the request to vacate, subject to the petitioner providing satisfactory proof that Comcast and King County have received the necessary easements. Councilman Persson expressed concern regarding the lack of response from King County, and indicated he does not want the process to be delayed as a result. Ms. McFarland stated that staff is recommending that the petitioner grant King County an easement for the area in order for the process to move forward. In response to Councilman Corman's inquiry, the applicant's representative Jim Hanson, 17446 Mallard Cove Lane, Mt. Vernon, 98274, confirmed that the vacation area is not paved. Public comment was invited. Previous speaker Jim Hanson relayed that the applicant concurs with the staff recommendation. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL APPROVE THE VACATION PETITION. CARRIED. Development Services: This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Deferral of Street accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Pro Tem Briere opened the public Improvements hearing to consider replacing the existing option for deferral of street improvements by restrictive covenants for short plats, with a fee in lieu of constructing street improvements. Gregg Zimmerman,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator,reported that City Code requires developments involving residential subdivisions to install street improvements, which can include curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street lights, and the extension of utilities. For short plats, the developer may request deferral of some of the required improvements under certain circumstances. Jan Illian,Engineering Specialist, indicated that two types of deferrals currently exist. The first allows a developer to temporarily defer street improvements by submitting a security devise that is released when the improvements are completed, and the second allows a developer of a short plat to defer street �+ improvements with a restrictive covenant. She stated that staff proposes removing the existing option for deferral of street improvements by restrictive covenant for short plats, and replacing it with a deferral of the street 408 November 21,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 408 improvement subject to a voluntary fee in lieu to the City of the estimated costs for the deferred street improvements. Ms. Illian explained that the restrictive covenant commits the property owner to not protest participation in a future Local Improvement District(LID)or City ..rd capital improvement project to install the improvements. Even though the restrictive covenant is recorded against the title of the property, property owners may be surprised when they are required to pay for street improvements. She reported that since this deferral option was adopted in 1995, over 100 restrictive covenants have been recorded. To date,no LIDs or capital improvement projects have triggered the enforcement of the restrictive covenants. Continuing, Ms. Illian stated that the proposed option requires that a special street fund be set up to receive the payments, and the funds will be used to build sidewalks or other street frontage improvement projects throughout the City. She pointed out that this option assures fairness for developers regarding costs of City-required improvements, and provides the City with financial means to build the improvements at a later date without having to require the residents to make financial contributions to the project. Responding to Councilman Clawson's inquiry as to what kind of improvement this type of deferral applies to,Mr. Zimmerman explained that the deferral is used for infill development, is usually applied to short plats of four or fewer lots, and is common in isolated places where contiguous street improvements are lacking. A short plat's street frontage is often 100 to 120 feet, and if street improvements are installed by the developer, the result may be an improved strip of frontage length that is out of character with the rest of the neighborhood. He noted that the improvements may need to be torn out and replaced in the future if a larger project is built. In response to Councilman Law's inquiry,Mr. Zimmerman stated that larger area improvements can take place through LIDs, which do not occur very often, or through City capital improvement projects, which are more common. Even though owners of property with the restrictive covenants are required to financially participate in the project, they are still surprised when presented with the bill. He indicated that this has caused controversy in other cities. Mr. Zimmerman noted staff s preference for the proposed option, where the developer voluntarily contributes a dollar amount equal to the cost of the improvements, which will be placed in a special fund. Noting that the developer will pass on the cost to the new homeowner, Councilman Law commented that the homeowner will have already paid for a future sidewalk that other nearby residents will not have to pay for. Mr. Zimmerman agreed that is a concern; however, the fees will substantially add to the City's expanded sidewalk program, and potentially result in improvements reaching neighborhoods more quickly than by the current restrictive covenant method. In response to Councilman Persson's inquiry, Mr. Zimmerman confirmed that property owners will not have to participate in a future LID or capital improvement project if the improvements costs have already been paid. Mr. Persson noted that the costs for future improvements will be paid in today's dollar value. '�iO November 21,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 409 4 0 9 Councilman Clawson agreed with the elimination of the restrictive covenant deferral, and pointed out that the proposed deferral option may benefit a neighborhood, if not the individual lots, by improving a sidewalk near a school. Public comment was invited. Jim Hanson, 17446 Mallard Cove Lane,Mt. Vernon, 98274, expressed concern that a property owner or developer will pay a fee for a sidewalk in front of the property, and the fee will be used for a sidewalk elsewhere in the City. He recommended that the City be reasonable in the charging of the fee for the small projects, as a small project by itself can cost more than if it were part of a larger project. Mr. Hanson also recommended that the criteria for qualifying for the proposed deferral option be made less restrictive than it is now for the restrictive covenant deferral. James Jacques, 1216 N. 38th St.,Renton, 98056, questioned whether a developer has the option of either deferring or installing the improvements. Receiving an affirmative reply, Mr. Jacques indicated that he would most likely install the improvements himself, rather than pay the fee. He noted, however, that this option will continue to result in intermittent street improvements. Councilman Corman commented that as a practical matter, there may be fewer deferrals; therefore, the standards need to be such so that the sidewalks will ultimately link up correctly. Julie Dalpay, 13033 SE 95th Way,Renton, 98056, suggested that when a plat is developed, the surrounding neighbors be asked if they want to continue the street improvements beyond the plat, as the improvements enrich the neighborhood and property values. In response to Councilman Persson's inquiry, Mr. Jacques stated that he may be able to install the improvements less expensively than the City can. Mr. Persson suggested that the City price the improvements at the contractors'price. Mayor Pro Tem Briere commented that it will be nice to have the intermittent street improvements connected together in the future. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 411 for Transportation Committee report.)

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Lindberg, 138th accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Ave SE&SE 132nd St public hearing to consider the proposed annexation and R-8 zoning of 10.6 acres located east of 138th Ave. SE(Duvall Ave. NE) and north of SE 132nd St. (NE 2nd St.); Lindberg. Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that the annexation site contains nine single-family dwellings, and is relatively flat with a two percent slope from west to east. Potential wetlands affect two northern parcels. He noted that the site is served by Fire District#25 and the Renton School District, and is within the Renton water, Water District#90, and Renton sewer service areas. Mr. Erickson reported that current King County zoning is R-4 (four dwelling units per gross acre), and the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Single Family, for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. The fiscal impact analysis estimates a deficit of$575 at current development, and a surplus of$8,580 at full development, assuming a potential of 63 new single-family homes and a new assessed home value of $350,000. He noted the estimated one-time parks development cost of$35,383. Mr. Erickson concluded that the annexation proposal serves the best interests and general welfare of the City, and is consistent with City policies. Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

CARRIED. Utility: Sewer Moratorium in This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in "e East Renton Plateau PAA accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the public hearing to consider extending the moratorium on sewer availabilities for December 5,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 431 4 3 1 new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area (PAA)for an additional six months. The current moratorium expires on December 6th. Rebecca Lind,Planner Manager, stated that the moratorium was enacted in response to a citizens group, Citizens'Alliance for a Responsible Evendell (CARE). The purpose of the moratorium was to allow consideration of a proposed annexation petition for the East Renton Plateau prior to vesting developable properties under King County development standards. She reported that CARE submitted an annexation petition on November 15th that designates an annexation boundary, and calls for an election. The petition has been submitted to King County for certification. Ms. Lind explained that the boundary designated by the annexation petition does not include the entire PAA. However, staff recommends that the moratorium continue to cover the entire East Renton Plateau PAA because some property owners outside the petition boundary may want to be added, and because the Boundary Review Board has the authority to modify the annexation boundary by five percent of its proposed acreage, and there is no indication of which areas may be either included or excluded. Continuing, Ms. Lind reviewed the differences between the Renton and King County development standards for the area, such as Renton only allowing single-family development. She reported that within 60 days of the certification of the annexation petition by King County, Council must either approve or reject the petition. If approved, an election date request will be made to King County. Ms. Lind pointed out that the earliest possible election date is in April or May. .... In conclusion,Ms. Lind stated that extending the moratorium for six more months allows for the following: Council to consider the annexation petition without extending the sewer availabilities, a date to be set for the election, and the registered voters in the area to determine the election outcome before resuming sewer availabilities. Public comment was invited. Tom Carpenter, 15006 SE 139th PI., Renton, 98059, stated that he is an elected member of the Four Creeks Unincorporated Area Council that represents three voting districts inside the East Renton Plateau PAA. He expressed his support for extending the moratorium; however, he pointed out that annexation is not going to handle the area's decreasing quality of life issues in a timely manner. Mr. Carpenter stressed that an interlocal agreement between Renton and King County is needed that addresses the movement of funds to support planning efforts for the area, and establishes design standards. He indicated that King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn is prepared to support such an agreement. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler reported that Renton is already in discussion with King County regarding this issue. Gwendolyn High, President of CARE, 13405 158th Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, urged Council to extend the sewer moratorium. She explained that CARE sees the moratorium as one of many critical steps being undertaken in the ..W community through the larger annexation discussion and process. Ms. High indicated that the moratorium builds on the positive momentum already 4 22 December 5,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 432 growing in the community, and it provides opportunity for the preservation of the community's character and quality of life. Garrett Huffman, South King County Manager of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, 335 116th Ave. SE,Bellevue, 98004, stated that extending the moratorium has consequences in that he is aware of one particular developer who wants to develop a property, and does not know whether Renton or King County development standards will apply. Mr. Huffman asked the City to expedite the process. Fred Herber, Bennett Development, 12011 NE 1st St., Suite 201, Bellevue, 98005, indicated that he is the developer referred to by the previous speaker, and stated his preference for developing to Renton's standards. Mr. Herber expressed concern regarding the amount of time needed for the annexation process, which delays his project. In response to Councilman Clawson's inquiries, Mr. Herber stated that sewer hook-up should be available for his project by next summer, and he confirmed that the project delay is also a result of not knowing on which development standards to base the design. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 437 for resolution.) ADMINISTRATIVE Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch 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 2005 and beyond. Items noted included: Join in the holiday spirit and share in the Angel Tree Program, which helps woo children and families who are less fortunate. Trees with tags representing requests from families screened by the Renton Salvation Army are available this year at City locations, including the Community Center, City Hall, and Carco Theatre. The annual Candy Cane Canine Fun Run and Walk will be held on December 11th at the Community Center. AUDIENCE COMMENT Barbara Hicks, 1835 NE 20th St.,Renton, 98056, spoke on the topic of the Citizen Comment: Hicks - proposed stream reclassification, located in the vicinity of Jones Ave. NE and Stream Reclassification,Jones NE 20th St., that was referred to Planning and Development Committee on Ave NE&NE 20th St 11/28/2005. She stated that reclassifying the stream to Class 5, which is an artificial stream where no natural channel existed before, is inconsistent with her personal knowledge of that stream. Ms. Hicks noted the lack of notification regarding this matter and another matter related to the NE 20th St. area. She requested that action not be taken on the stream reclassification without further study. Citizen Comment: Cook- F. Jay Cook, 14012 SE 133rd St., Renton, 98059, stated that he lives in the Mosier Il Annexation, 140th Puget Colony Homes area, for which Renton's R-8 zoning is proposed as part of Ave SE &SE 136th St the Mosier II Annexation. He indicated that he submitted an application to change the zoning from R-8 to R-4, and requested a waiver of the associated fee. However,Mr. Cook pointed out that the subject ordinance establishing R- 8 zoning is scheduled for second reading this evening. woo December 5,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 433 433 Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch explained that the Puget Colony Homes development is part of the expanded Mosier II Annexation area, and Mr. Cook has submitted an application for a 2006 Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the area's land use designation to Residential Low �.... Density which allows R4 zoning. Noting that the Comprehensive Plan designates the subject area as Residential Single Family, which only allows R-8 zoning,Mr. Pietch stated that by law, the area can only be annexed to Renton if it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's land use designation. Mr. Pietch pointed out that Council does have the ability to waive the$3,000 application fee. Mr. Cook said that it is more difficult to first establish R-8 zoning for the area, and then change the zoning to R-4. Councilman Persson noted that the roadways are not designed to handle R-8 zoning. Stating that he does not want to delay the annexation, Mr. Persson suggested further discussion about R-4 zoning at a later time. Mr. Pietsch explained that if the annexation is adopted this evening, the next step is for either Mr. Cook to pay the fee or the City waive the fee for a possible Comprehensive Plan Amendment to downgrade the zoning. He noted the presence of restrictive covenants for most of the homes in the development that limit the ability of the homeowners to subdivide. Discussion ensued regarding the restrictive covenants, Council's ability to waive the Comprehensive Plan Amendment fee, and the setting of a precedent by waiving the fee. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler asked that staff compile more information regarding this matter in time for next week's meeting. low Citizen Comment: Finnicum- Karen Finnicum, 1302 Aberdeen Ave. NE,Renton, 98056, also commented on Stream Reclassification,Jones the proposed stream reclassification, stating that she grew up at a house located Ave NE&NE 20th St at 2001 NE 20th St. She pointed out that the house backed up to wetlands that helped feed the blueberry farm and Kennydale Creek, and she described how the area has changed over the years. Ms. Finnicum emphasized that the stream runs year-round and is natural, and she asked for further review of the matter. Councilman Clawson reported that the Planning and Development Committee met on this issue on December 1st, and he indicated that this is not the type of action that requires notification. He stated that he plans on leaving the item in committee for further review, and inquired about the urgency of the matter. Jennifer Henning, Principal Planner, stated that the developer is eager for an answer; however, she acknowledged the interest of the community members. She explained that the City recently adopted critical areas regulations that classify streams as Class 1 through Class 5, and the inventoried streams are shown on a Water Class Map. Ms. Henning noted that each stream class has a different buffer requirement. Ms. Henning reported that the subject stream is located on three properties, and a pre-application meeting was held to discuss possible subdivision of the properties. The properties contain a water feature that is considered to be part of Kennydale Creek, and Kennydale Creek is mapped as a Class 4 stream in this area. She indicated that the developer has requested a reclassification of the stream from Class 4 to Class 5 through these properties, and has submitted evidence showing that the stream qualifies for Class 5 designation. 4 .14 December 5,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 434 In response to Councilman Corman's inquiry, Ms. Henning confirmed that a Class 5 stream has no setback requirements. Citizen Comment: Rider- Susan Rider, 1835 NE 20th St., Renton, 98056, emphasized that the Kennydale Stream Reclassification,Jones wetland system is dying, and the stream reclassification is yet one more blow to Ave NE&NE 20th St the system. She stated that no one profits from this action but the developer. Pointing out that the regulations are supposed to protect the environment,Ms. Rider stressed that the creek does not meet the definition of a Class 5. She requested further study, and notification of upcoming related meetings. Citizen Comment: Nelson - James Nelson, 1905 NE 20th St., Renton, 98056, stated that he grew up in the Stream Reclassification, Jones area of the subject stream reclassification, and noted that he has never seen the Ave NE&NE 20th St creek run dry. He expressed his concern that future development will destroy the entire natural area. Citizen Comment: Gordley - Lauralee Gordley,2010 Jones Ave. NE,Renton, 98056, stated that she is the Stream Reclassification, Jones property owner of the stream reclassification area. Ms. Gordley pointed out Ave NE&NE 20th St that a lot of work has been done for the reclassification, and all of the critical area regulation requirements have been fulfilled. She reviewed the reports that were prepared, and noted that aerial photographs show the creek was not present before the ditch was dug. Ms. Gordley acknowledged people's concerns, but stressed that the area has changed in many ways and cannot return to the way it was. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that the concerned parties will be notified of the next committee meeting. Councilman Clawson reiterated that this issue merits further review.

Budget: 2006 Annual City of Property Tax Levy. The preliminary information provided b Kin County, and used to develop the revenue estimates, provided a total general government property tax estimate of$21,755,827. This was based on a new construction estimate of$167,912,009. In developing the 2006 budget estimate, the property tax estimate used contained the long-term financial forecast of$22,026,700. This was based on an estimate of$250,000,000 in new construction. It was believed that the estimate was a bit high, but left some room for fine-tuning of King County's estimates. A revised preliminary property tax worksheet was recently provided by King County. It revised the estimate for total general government property taxes to $22,209,409 based on $311,622,057 in new construction. The difference will not be collected without a revision to the ordinance.

APPEAL: Planning &Development Committee Report re: Honey Brooke West 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. 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.

Rebecca Lind,Planner Manager, stated that the City currently collects an impact fee in the amount of$2,937 on behalf of the Issaquah School District. She pointed out that Renton has never collected the full amount that the district has requested based upon three factors: available capacity at schools serving Renton residents, the lower price of new single-family homes in Renton as compared to other jurisdictions, and the low proportion of funds expended locally. Ms. Lind reported that the Issaquah School District's 2005 Capital Facilities Plan shows that nearly every school in the district is at, or over,capacity, including those serving Renton residents. She explained that the facilities plan does not yet have money assigned to local improvements; however, the school district's board has approved a bond measure that will appear on the ballot in February, which includes significant improvements to schools that serve Renton residents. Ms. Lind described the improvements proposed for Liberty High School,Maywood Middle School, and Briarwood Elementary School. Ms. Lind indicated that staff recommends collection of the$5,115 impact fee as requested by the Issaquah School District. She emphasized that the district is responding to growth by proposing improvements to Renton area schools, and assessment of the full impact fee ensures that those who contribute to the growth pay a share of the growth-related costs. Noting that this item has been in the Finance Committee for some time, Councilman Persson stated that the Committee was impressed with the Issaquah School District's presentation which pointed out that the money will be spent in the City of Renton. Public comment was invited. Craig Christensen,Executive Director of Operations, Issaquah School District, 565 NW Holly St., Issaquah, 98027, thanked City staff for their work on this matter. Pointing out that the impact fees are a critical element of the district's Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan, he stated that the fees fund new capacity needed to house students that come from new growth. Significant growth is anticipated in the south end of the district, and a large portion of the bond proposal, to be decided by voters in February, will be used to accommodate this growth. Mr. Christensen encouraged Council approval of the impact fee. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 45.1 for Finance Committee Report.) APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Clawson presented a report Planning & Development regarding the appeal of the Honey Brooke West Preliminary Plat. The Committee Committee met on this appeal on 12/8/2005. The Committee found that there Appeal: Honey Brooke West, was no substantial error in fact or law in the Hearing Examiner's decision on �.. Haynes,PP-05-055 the original appeal, and recommended that the Hearing Examiner's decision be affirmed. 4 December 12,2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 448 The subject property is Honey Brooke West Preliminary Plat, located at the 500 -600 block of Hoquiam Ave. NE. The original appeal was withdrawn by applicant/appellant C. Thomas Foster,Langley Development Group,on 10/6/2005. Blueberry Place Homeowners Association (HOA),by its president Kay Haynes, filed an appeal on 10/3/2005, and Ms. Haynes appeared before the Committee as the lone appellant for this proceeding. Blueberry Place is an adjacent property development to the subject site. Appellant Haynes alleged errors of fact and law by the Hearing Examiner in that there was no evidence or information by the Fire Department to justify the extension of NE 6th St. However, the record contains information supporting the Fire Department's position that the NE 6th St. roadway extension is both necessary and warranted for emergency access. Despite Haynes and Blueberry HOA's objection to the access road, the community as a whole would be better served by this extension to allow both residents and emergency services to find the quickest and most direct route in emergency situations. The Committee's decision is solely limited to the record,the Hearing Examiner's report, the notice of appeal, and additional submissions by parties (City Code 4-8-100G(6)). No new or additional testimony or evidence can be considered. Therefore,based on the foregoing,this Committee cannot find that a substantial error in fact or law exists in the record.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Roger McGinnis, 710 S. 2nd St.,Renton, 98055, introduced himself as a Citizen Comment: McGinnis - member of the Evergreen City Ballet(ECB) Board of Directors, and expressed Evergreen City Ballet appreciation for the warm welcome that ECB has received from the community. He explained that this non-profit organization was founded in 1994, and its Artistic Director,Wade Walthall, was a principal dancer with Pacific Northwest Ballet. Mr. McGinnis reported that ECB conducts school outreach programs, offers scholarships, and gives four to five performances per year. He stated that ECB is trying to schedule performances in Renton, and will soon hold a community open house. Mayor Keolker noted that ECB's new studio is located in the old McLendon's Hardware store (710 S. 2nd St.). Citizen Comment: Coder-The Mathew Coder,4701 Smithers Ave. S., Renton, 98055, referred to the consent �+ Reserve at Stonehaven Final agenda item recommending approval of The Reserve at Stonehaven Final Plat, Plat, S 47th St,FP-05-130 and asked that action on the matter be deferred until the issue regarding stormwater runoff is resolved. He explained that he lives in the adjacent January 23,2006 Renton City Council Minutes1 7 Page 17 Sundance development, and due to the geography of the area, four of the 36 lots planned for the Stonehaven development are tied to the City's drainage system, which drains into Sundance's private wet vault. Mr. Coder requested that the owners of the four lots be required to help pay for the maintenance of the wet .� vault, as do the homeowners in the Sundance development. Councilman Clawson reported that he reviewed the situation with Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman, and is satisfied with the recommendation to approve the project. Citizen Comment: Hansen - Ron Hansen, 4717 Smithers Ave. S., Renton, 98055, stated that he is a member The Reserve at Stonehaven of the Sundance at Talbot Ridge Homeowners Association, and expressed Final Plat, S 47th St,FP-05- concern regarding the allowing of residents outside the Sundance development 130 use of the private wet vault. Mr. Hansen pointed out that the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual indicates that the owners of all properties are required to maintain the quality of the water that exits the property, but the water has to exit the property at the same level of quality at which it entered the property. He said the subject four lots are relying solely on the existence of Sundance's wet vault in order to comply with the surface water manual. Mr. Zimmerman stated that the City has been working with representatives of the Sundance at Talbot Ridge Homeowners Association on this issue. He assured that Sundance's wet vault was designed in accordance to the surface water manual, which states that the facility needs to be designed large enough to handle the flow from the sub-basin. Mr. Zimmerman reported that the City sent a letter to the homeowners association offering to pay the proportionate share of the maintenance of the wet vault for the four lots that reside outside of the Sundance development. He noted that some of the surface water that drains into the facility also comes from the City street. Mr. Zimmerman indicated that the City has not yet received a response to the letter. Continuing,Mr. Zimmerman pointed out that the issue relating to how flow is handled from offsite to onsite stormwater facilities maintained by homeowners associations is currently under review, and different options are being investigated. He recommended that the decision on the final plat not be delayed, as the offer the City has made addresses the homeowner association's concern about payment for the maintenance of the wet vault. In response to Councilwoman Palmer's inquiry regarding the City's use of the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual, Mr. Zimmerman stated that the staff is considering incorporating a look at the City's own manual into its surface water comprehensive plan because the City will have to comply with the requirements of the Federal NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System)permit program within one year. Once the provisions of the permit are known, they can be incorporated into the City's new standards. He pointed out that the City imposes a higher level of standard on surface water flow in sensitive drainage basins through the SEPA(State Environmental Policy Act)process. Responding to Ms. Palmer's inquiry,Mr. Zimmerman indicated that he assumes the owners of the four subject lots will pay dues to the Stonehaven development ..� homeowners association,part of which will be used to maintain Stonehaven's water detention facility even though the flow from the lots will not go to that 18 January 23,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 18 facility. He said this factor also contributed to the City's decision to offer to pay the proportionate share of the maintenance for Sundance's wet vault. Councilman Persson pointed out the merits of the City's offer. Councilman Clawson noted the antiquated way stormwater is handled, and expressed his ..r hope that the future will bring about a way for more of the water to infiltrate into the ground rather than running over impervious surface.

WARREN, City Attorney; ATTENDANCE BONNIE WALTON, City Clerk; GREGG ZIMMERMAN, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator; KAREN MCFARLAND, Engineering Specialist; LINDA HERZOG, Interim Assistant to the CAO; CHIEF GARRY ANDERSON, COMMANDER TIM TROXEL, COMMANDER CHARLES MARSALISI, and COMMANDER KEVIN MILOSEVICH, Police Department. SPECIAL PRESENTATION Chief of Police Garry Anderson announced that Officer Craig Sjolin, Police Police: Employee Recognition Services Specialist Holly Trader, and Officer Steven Ritchie were each selected by their peers and honored as an Employee of the Quarter in 2005. Police Services Specialist Jacqueline Thomas, the Employee of the Fourth Quarter, was also named Employee of the Year. Chief Anderson then presented the Meritorious Service Medal to Officer Clay Deering, who on 8/4/2005, entered a burning house and rescued an elderly resident. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in r. Vacation: Jericho Ave NE, accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public hearing Romano, VAC-05-005 to consider the petition to vacate a portion of Jericho Ave. NE right-of-way, five feet in width and 286 feet in length, located south of NE 4th St. (Petitioner: Mike Romano, Centurion Development Services, on behalf of property owner Norris Homes, Inc.) Karen McFarland, Engineering Specialist, reported that 100% of the abutting property owners have signed the vacation petition, and there are no City-owned or outside agency facilities in the right-of-way. Explaining that the petitioner plans to use the area in the proposed Jericho Plat development, Ms. McFarland pointed out that the vacation will benefit the public by improving traffic flow and safety, and will provide better public transit access by allowing a bus pullout at the intersection of NE 4th St. and Jericho Ave. NE. Currently, the existing right-of-way is five feet wider than the City requires, and the developer has been working with City staff to improve Jericho Ave. NE beyond the code requirements to a modified collector street standard. Continuing, Ms. McFarland stated that although King County Assessor records and the Plat Certificate provided by the title company neglected to show the area of this vacation request as right-of-way, City staffs overall final plat review process showed this right-of-way as an area that was to be abandoned. She relayed the staff request that an easement for sidewalk, street lighting, and utilities be retained in the subject area. Ms. McFarland explained that since the City acquired the street through the 1998 East Renton Plateau Annexation, there were no original acquisition costs. The vacation area is unimproved and City funds have not been expended for its 26 February 6,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 26 maintenance. Therefore, staff recommends that compensation not be charged since the easement will provide the City with all rights necessary for the City's intended use of the area, and the City will benefit from the street improvements associated with Jericho Plat. In conclusion, Ms. McFarland stated that staff recommends approval of the vacation request, and waiver of the compensation. now In response to Councilman Persson's inquiry regarding the bus pullout, Ms. McFarland explained that throughout the plat review process, the vacation area was already shown to be a part of the Jericho Plat and not right-of-way. Thus, the bus pullout has already been planned. Mike Romano, Centurion Development Services, 22617 8th Dr. SE, Bothell, 98021,noted that the vacation proposal is holding up the recording of the final plat. He explained that the original preliminary plat map showed the area as a road easement, and therefore it was considered to be a part of the plat until discovered by City staff to be right-of-way. Mr. Romano encouraged Council to approve the vacation so that the project can move forward as originally approved by Council. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Aster Park, accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker opened the public Sunset Blvd NE meeting to consider the 10% Notice of Intent petition for the proposed Aster Park Annexation; 19.85 acres, including the SR-900 right-of-way, located along the south side of Sunset Blvd. NE(SR-900), west of 148th Ave. SE, north of SE 112th St., if extended, and east of 144th Ave. SE, if extended. Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that existing development on the site includes the six-acre Fir Grove Mobile Home Park, two single-family dwellings, and a new 37-lot subdivision that is currently being built. The topography of the site is relatively flat. In regards to the public services,Mr. Erickson noted that Fire District#10,Water District#90, Renton sewer, and the Issaquah School District serve the area. Mr. Erickson reported that current King County zoning is R-4 for the eastern portion of the site, and R-48 for the western portion. The Renton Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Residential Low Density, which allows R-4(four dwelling units per net acre)zoning. He stated that the fiscal impact analysis estimates a deficit of$8,707 at current development, a surplus of$23,892 at full development, and a one-time parks development cost of $27,724. .nr February13,2006 35 Renton City Council Minutes Page 35 In conclusion, Mr. Erickson said the proposed annexation furthers the City business goals, and is generally consistent with Boundary Review Board objectives and City policies. In response to Councilwoman Nelson's inquiry, Mr. Erickson and City Attorney Larry Warren indicated that they do not know what the owners of the mobile home park property plan to do with the property. Public comment was invited. Claudia Donnelly, 10415 147th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, voiced concern regarding surface water runoff from the Aster Park area through her yard to May Creek. She noted that annexation area boundaries are often expanded, and expressed concern that her neighborhood will become part of this annexation. Emphasizing that she wants the opportunity to express her opinion regarding annexation to Renton via the ballot box,Ms. Donnelly requested that her neighborhood, the Aster Park annexation area, and the rest of the King County area participate in the Preserve Our Plateau Annexation election. Jullianne Bruce, 17100 SE 136th St.,Renton, 98059, expressed her concern regarding surface water runoff from the increase in impervious surfaces due to development. She stated her desire that the area remain rural, and that the annexation be taken to a vote and not forced upon residents who may not want to annex to Renton. Ms. Bruce also commented that the lifestyles of affected residents are being compromised if it is true that in order to obtain mass transportation funding, urban areas must grow and rural areas must shrink. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL ACCEPT THE ASTER PARK 10% PETITION TO ANNEX,AUTHORIZE CIRCULATION OF THE 60% DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX, AND SUPPORT FUTURE ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY LAND USE DESIGNATION. CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Preserve Our accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker opened the public hearing Plateau, SE 128th St to consider the 10% Notice of Intent to annex petition by the election method for the proposed Preserve Our Plateau Annexation; approximately 1,475 acres located in the vicinity of SE 128th St., SE 149th St., 152nd Ave. SE, and 184th Ave. SE. Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that approximately 1,630 single-family dwellings exist on this diverse site, and the annexation proposal is in compliance with Boundary Review Board objectives and with relevant City annexation policies. Reviewing the public services, he noted that the site is served by Fire Districts#25 and#10, Water District#90, Renton Sewer, and the Renton and Issaquah School Districts. Mr. Erickson reported that State law requires Council to adopt a resolution either calling for an election, or disapproving the annexation. If Council calls for an election, decisions must be made as to whether or not to include propositions on the ballot regarding future zoning and bonded indebtedness. He explained that despite the projected initial deficit of up to $263,000 and the 36 February 13,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 36 need to hire as many as 22 new employees, staff recommends placing the annexation proposal on the ballot. Mr.Erickson pointed out that there are major efficiencies to be gained from annexing a larger area at one time that are not realized with smaller annexations. Continuing,Mr. Erickson indicated that staff is recommending against asking residents to vote on future zoning at this time since the area has not yet been prezoned. He noted that staff intends to hold at least two public hearings on future zoning this summer. Additionally, staff is recommending that the proposition on outstanding indebtedness not be included on the ballot. Retirement of the City's outstanding debt is expected in 2009, and the amount that would be collected from the annexation area is estimated at$62,285. Mr. Erickson stated that if the assumption of the City's outstanding indebtedness is placed on the ballot, the measure would trigger a super majority approval requirement, and would require voter turnout of at least 40% of the total votes cast in the last general election. Regarding Fire District#25, Mr. Erickson noted that the subject annexation area to be served by Renton would remove only 51% of the district's current assessed value; therefore, the district would continue to exist. Mr. Erickson pointed out that if the voters approve the annexation, it is likely to be six months to a year before it is effectuated. He explained that the City and King County will need to enter into various interlocal agreements regarding the transference of county-owned facilities and county services. Mr. Erickson noted that the Mayor will establish a blue ribbon advisory committee comprised of residents and service providers to help with the transition. Turning to the existing moratorium on sewer availabilities for new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area, Mr. Erickson ago reported that the moratorium expires prior to a possible annexation effective date. Council will need to decide whether to extend the moratorium, or allow development occurring prior to the effective date to vest to King County standards. Mr. Erickson stated that the following will likely happen if the annexation fails: 1) As the designated sewer provider for this area, the City has already issued over 250 sewer certificates; 2) The existing moratorium will be lifted and new certificates will be issued based upon the City's Comprehensive Plan Residential Low Density land use designation; 3) Future development will continue under King County development regulations; and 4) The existing level of service will continue to decline,based upon King County statements. Concluding that that the annexation proposal serves the best interests and general welfare of the-City,Mr. Erickson pointed out that the anticipated initial deficit may be offset with a positive cash flow by the time of full development in ten to fifteen years. Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator, discussed the King County 2004 Annexation Initiative, which calls for annexation by 2012 of most of King County's remaining unincorporated urban areas. The initiative set aside a$10 million fund to assist communities in offsetting some of the negative financial impacts. He reported that the King County executive has expressed his desire to enter into an interlocal agreement that asks Renton to accept the ..r county parks and stormwater properties in the subject area, and to consider hiring county employees. In return, King County agrees to pay Renton $1.15 February13,2006 37 Renton City Council Minutes Page 37 million in real estate excise tax, which is required to be used for infrastructure, and $600,000 in CX funds. Mr. Pietsch noted that the City has requested that half be paid upon a successful election, and half upon effectuation of the annexation. In response to Councilmember inquiries, Mr. Pietsch stated that the CX funds could potentially be used to purchase police cars. He indicated that issues concerning stormwater facilities maintenance costs and park improvements will be discussed in the coming months. Mayor Keolker pointed out that these are the types of issues that will be discussed by the blue ribbon advisory committee. Public comment was invited. Shirley Day, 14412 167th Pl. SE, Renton, 98059, questioned how the annexation area's boundaries were determined, and submitted a letter signed by 78 residents who do not want to be annexed to Renton. She expressed her disappointment with the petitioner's approach to establishing the boundaries, and stated her desire for a hearing with the Boundary Review Board. Gwendolyn High, 13405 158th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, introduced herself as the president of CARE(Citizens'Alliance for a Responsible Evendell) and the treasurer of the CARE Annexation Committee who is the petitioner of the annexation. Ms. High expressed her happiness with the City's efforts so far with the subject area, including the land use designation and forthcoming tree retention ordinance. She indicated that she is looking forward to working with the City on the annexation process. Claudia Donnelly, 10415 147th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, spoke on behalf of her mother, Roxanne Reynolds, 13016 156th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, who does not want to annex to Renton. Ms. Donnelly stated that she has been in contact with many residents in the area who do not want to be a part of Renton, and had been left out of CARE's process for boundary establishment. Ms. Donnelly requested that the City ask the Boundary Review Board to review the proposed annexation with a public hearing, and that the annexation area be expanded so all East Renton Plateau area residents can vote on the matter. Additionally she questioned how the City will pay for the new employees and services. Fred Herber,Bennett Development, 12011 NE 1st St., Bellevue, 98005, expressed his disappointment concerning the possible extension of the sewer moratorium until after the annexation vote, which is anticipated to occur in the fall. Emphasizing that time delays cost developers and ultimately homeowners, Mr. Bennett requested that the moratorium not be extended when it expires in June. Jullianne Bruce, 17100 SE 136th St., Renton, 98059, voiced concern about the increase in water runoff due to the increase in impervious surfaces,noting that sensitive areas are especially affected by development. She also stressed the importance of having area residents on the blue ribbon advisory committee. Responding to Ms. Bruce's comment regarding the bonded indebtedness issue, Mayor Keolker clarified that the recommendation not to include the issue on the ballot means that area residents are not going to pay for it. Mayor Keolker stated that the City is not seeking this annexation but is responding to a request. However, she indicated that if residents want to come into the City they are welcome. The Mayor pointed out that if the area remains 38 February 13,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 38 in King County, the existing zoning allows denser development than is allowed in Renton. Royden Miser, 13505 166th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059,pointed out that the King County Sheriffs Office has done an outstanding job of preventing crime at .w Liberty High School. Reporting that a police officer is assigned to the school full time,he inquired if that will continue if the area is annexed to Renton. Additionally, since the school is within the Issaquah School District,Mr. Miser inquired as to the taxing for the school districts. Mayor Keolker said the school district boundaries remain the same, and Mr. Miser will continue to be taxed for only the Issaquah School District. The Renton Police Department will serve the area, and enforcement arrangements will be discussed with the school district. She noted that Renton currently has school resource officers. Jack Case, 16445 SE 135th St., Renton, 98059, inquired if Renton has a critical areas ordinance, noted the presence of beavers in a pond in the annexation area, and inquired if a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling regarding eminent domain will affect his six lots. City Attorney Larry Warren indicated that the court ruling has little or no applicability to the State of Washington. He assured that Renton's critical areas ordinance is much easier to understand and comply with than King County's ordinance. Robert LeCoque, 12916 166th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, noted that he lives near the aforementioned beaver pond, or Cemetery Pond, which is located between 164th and 166th Avenues SE, off of SE 128th St. He reported that this semi- natural occurring pond was modified when King County started creating controlled runoff collection ponds. Mr. LeCoque pointed out the problems with the pond, and stated that he is interested to see how Renton will approach on- going maintenance and correction of existing problems. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

In response to a previous speaker's comment, he noted that adding more density does not result in the set-aside of more funding for mass transportation. Acknowledging that many issues and interests are involved,Mr. Corman indicated that if annexed, the area and its issues will be under local control, which may be advantageous to residents in terms of easier access to government and those more familiar with the area. He expressed his happiness ..r that the matter is going to a vote. 39 February 13,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 39 Councilman Clawson emphasized that development will be less dense if the area is annexed to Renton than if it remains in King County, and the area will receive the same level of serve as the rest of the City. *MOTION CARRIED.
