AUDIENCE COMMENT Inez Petersen, Secretary of the Highlands Community Association (HCA), 3306
Citizen Comment: Petersen - Lake Washington Blvd. N.,#3, Renton, 98056, stated that the HCA by-laws do
Highlands Sub-Area Plan not permit her to release the names of the members as requested at the last
Council meeting. In regards to the Highlands redevelopment,Ms. Petersen
stated her concern that citizens have not been given an opportunity for input on
the matter, and that not enough time has been given to review Option B (as
discussed at the March 2006 Council workshop).
Mayor Keolker stated that no decisions have been made, and the City will hold
public hearings to allow ample time for public comment. Councilman Clawson
indicated that at the workshop,Council gave staff direction as to what
information they desired regarding this issue. He emphasized that Council did
not make a decision regarding Option A or B.
Expressing concern regarding the deterioration of the World War II housing in
the Highlands, Council President Corman stated that change is needed, and he
welcomes ideas about how to improve the area.
April 3,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 93
Citizen Comment: Hawton- Brett Hawton, 1308 Harrington Ave. NE,Renton, 98056, stated that he prefers
Highlands Sub-Area Plan to be surrounded by new or fixed-up single-family homes in the Highlands area,
rather than by townhomes like the ones in downtown Renton. He noted that the
moratorium has stopped the building of new homes in his neighborhood.
Council President Corman explained that the moratorium was enacted to give
City staff time to develop a plan for the area. He stated that while he prefers
single-family homes and duplexes,that is unrealistic, as a lot of affordable
housing would be lost. Mr. Corman indicated that a variety of housing is
envisioned for the area, which necessitates higher density. However,nicer
housing will be the result.
In response to comments by Councilmembers Clawson and Corman regarding
the implementation of temporary zoning when the moratorium ends on May
14th,Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch clarified that the
proposed zoning is not temporary,but rather the first phase of zoning that
implements the City's vision. He emphasized that this step does not include
provisions concerning community renewal and the potential use of eminent
domain. Mr. Pietsch stated that staff anticipates presenting the community
renewal plan to Council this summer. The Mayor indicated that the City is
trying to put the zoning in place so the moratorium does not have to be
extended.
Mr. Pietsch stated that citizens have the opportunity to comment on the
proposed zoning for the Highlands Sub-Area at public hearings scheduled
during the Council meeting on April 17th, and the Planning Commission
meeting on April 12th.
Citizen Comment: Perine - Linda Perine, 1157 Glennwood Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, stated that she lives
Highlands Sub-Area Plan within the Highlands redevelopment area. Ms. Perine reported that her duplex
has a large backyard, that she has a renter,that crime in the area has been
eliminated over the past few years,and that the area is centrally located to the
places to which she commutes. She stressed that she wants to remain where she
is,and asked that the plans she has made not be taken away from her.
Citizen Comment: DeMastus - Sandel DeMastus, 1137 Harrington Ave. NE,Renton, 98056, indicated that she
Highlands Sub-Area Plan is pleased to hear that Council is considering both options for the Highlands
redevelopment, as she thought Council had decided on Option A. Mayor
Keolker stated for the record that a vote was not taken at the Council workshop
regarding options for the proposed Highlands redevelopment strategy.
Once the zoning is in place, Council President Corman asked if the City has to
take possession of all the property, or if it can be built to the new standards.
Mayor Keolker asserted that the City does not take possession of property.
Planning Manager Rebecca Lind stressed that this is a complex process,and
more information about the effort is forthcoming. She pointed out that many
properties are already zoned multi-family.
Continuing,Ms.Lind explained that staff is looking for a way to bring about
the realization of the overall concept that was adopted for the area in 1993,and
which Council reaffirmed with this latest work program. She stated that the
first step is to address the zoning.
Citizen Comment: Elmer- Teresa Elmer, 3101 NE 13th St.,Renton, 98056, speaking on behalf of the
Highlands Sub-Area Plan property owners, indicated that the Highlands-area fourplex in which she lives
is already zoned commercial. She inquired as to how the proposed
April 3,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 94
redevelopment plan will affect this property,and if affected properties are
being judged individually or as a neighborhood. Mayor Keolker recommended
that Ms. Elmer talk with Economic Development Department staff about her
particular property and circumstance.
Councilman Clawson stated that a common misperception is that the City
intends to tear down the whole neighborhood, which is not the case. He
indicated that the redevelopment process could take five to ten years or longer.
Citizen Comment: Visser- John Visser, 19404 102nd Ave. SE, Renton, 98055, said he owns a duplex in
Highlands Sub-Area Plan the Highlands, located at 1131 Glennwood Ave. NE, which has been improved
over the years. He noted that is happy with the residence and its location, and
plans to retire there in two years. Mr. Visser expressed amazement that people
live in houses without backyards, and pointed out that unlike his duplex, houses
in the new developments do not have backyards. Council President Corman
noted that Mr. Visser's property could be worth a lot of money if the market
were not suppressed due to dilapidation of nearby buildings.
Citizen Comment: Hawton- Jennifer Hawton, 1308 Harrington Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, reported that
Highlands Sub-Area Plan citizens are confused about the Highlands redevelopment effort,and are
receiving conflicting information. She suggested that a project timeline may
help, as well as more information about upcoming meetings. Ms. Hawton
stated that although she does not want townhomes built, she does support
improving the area. She concluded that she wants to make sure her voice is
heard, and that she is fully informed about the plan.
Mayor Keolker reviewed the schedule of upcoming meetings on this matter.
Planning Manager Lind explained that two general project concepts were
presented at an open house last November, which were referred to as Option A
and Option B. She stressed that they are not the same as the Option A and B
discussed at the Council workshop, nor the same as the Option A and B
distributed tonight by audience member Inez Petersen.
Ms. Lind stated that the general land use concepts presented last November
have evolved, and the Planning Commission is still working on them. She
indicated that Council has asked staff to proceed with the first phase of zoning,
as it complies with the existing Comprehensive Plan. Property owners can then
develop their property consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and it will not
conflict with future proposals.
Referring to the subject of code enforcement, Council President Corman
pointed out that there are buildings in the Highlands at various levels of
disrepair. He cited the example of the Lande Feed building, for which a great
deal of resources were spent deciding whether it should be preserved or
demolished. He noted that the building eventually collapsed on its own. Mr.
Corman stated that rather than let the worst buildings fall down on their own,
Council is investing money to potentially purchase these properties and sell
them to someone who realizes their value.
Continuing,Mr. Corman cautioned affected parties against being influenced by
people who do not even live in the neighborhood, and he stated his commitment
to assisting those who may be affected by the redevelopment. Mayor Keolker
noted that many property owners do not live in the subject area, and code
enforcement efforts may cause tenants to lose their homes because the owners
may not want to repair the properties.
April 3,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 95
Citizen Comment: Lansciardi- Anthony James Lansciardi, 1524 Jefferson Ave. NE,Renton,98056, stated that
Highlands Sub-Area Plan his landlord owns two properties in the Highlands redevelopment area. He
pointed out that the subject housing proposed to be replaced represents a
historic period of time. Mr. Lansciardi noted that the houses are well built, and
have endured over time.
Citizen Comment: Lewis - Bonnie Lewis, 1520 Harrington Ave. NE,Renton, 98056, stated that she is not
Highlands Sub-Area Plan a slum landlord,and she depends on the rent she receives from her duplex as
part of her income. She reported that she lives across the street from McKnight
Middle School, which is the source of the trash that ends up in her yard. Ms.
Lewis indicated that she tries to make a major improvement to her property
each year. She expressed her displeasure that her house is threatened due to the
Highlands redevelopment effort.
Citizen Comment: Boyd- Donovan Boyd,2901 NE 8th Pl., Renton, 98056, expressed concern regarding
Highlands Sub-Area Plan the Highlands redevelopment, saying that during the initial discussions with
developers, he had heard that developers were not interested unless there was
an assemblage of properties. Mr. Boyd stressed that he does not want to move,
as he is happy with his home and it is affordable. He requested that citizens,
especially the affected property owners,be provided regular updates about the
plan to prevent miscommunication.
In response to Mr. Boyd's comment that some property owners reported they
did not receive notice of the open house last November,Mayor Keolker stated
that all affected property owners that were on record with King County at the
time of the meeting were notified. Economic Development Administrator
Pietsch clarified that as a regular course of action,the City mails notices about
land use actions to all affected property owners, and property owners within
300 feet of the affected boundaries.
Discussion ensued regarding communications with citizens and the literature
handed out at the Council meeting by audience member Inez Petersen. Council
President Corman reviewed the Option A and Option B referred to in Ms.
Petersen's literature, saying that Option A is unrecognizable. He stated for the
record that he is in agreement with this Option B, and noted that it does not
seem to align at all with the Option A and B that was discussed at the Council
workshop.
ADDED ITEM Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes reported receipt of an initiative petition
Public Safety: Citizen and proposed ordinance entitled "Fireworks Control Ordinance." The proposed
Initiative,Fireworks ordinance repeals Ordinance 5088, and enacts provisions regarding the
Ordinance possession, sale, and discharge of fireworks in Renton. She explained that if an
ordinance initiated by the initiative process is enacted by Council,or voted
upon by the people,it cannot be changed in any way by Council short of
another special or general election. Ms. Fontes reviewed the proposed
ordinance,noting typographical errors, inconsistencies,contradictions,and
enforcement problems.
Continuing,Ms. Fontes stated that the City's options are to 1)Adopt the
ordinance as is;or 2)Put it on the ballot. Council has 20 days from tonight to
make a decision. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington pointed out that
the proposed ordinance reverses the City's current ordinance,which prohibits
the discharge of fireworks in Renton except as part of a special event. The
proposed ordinance allows for a longer firework season and more types of
firework devices than the City allowed before the ban.
•
April 3,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 96
In response to inquiries, Ms. Fontes explained that the City of SeaTac has taken
the position that the proposed ordinance title is insufficient, and is currently
involved in litigation. She noted that if the City does not choose either option,
involvement in litigation may result. Ms. Fontes stated that the City can offer
alternative pieces of legislation on the ballot, thereby allowing the voters a
choice. She assured that the title of the proposed ordinance does not become
the ballot title, advising that the City Attorney's office is responsible for writing
the ballot title.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Council last considered this annexation on September 26, 2005,when it accepted the 60%Direct
Petition to Annex and authorized the Administration to forward the Notice of Intent package to
the Boundary Review Board for King County. The Boundary Review Board completed their 45-
day mandatory review of the Hoquiam Annexation and notified the City that it was approved, on
February 7, 2006. Having held the first of two required public hearings on future zoning for the •
area, if it were to come into the City, Council is now required to hold a second public hearing on
zoning. At this public hearing, Council will be asked to consider ordinances both adopting the
annexation itself, and, if it chooses to do so, concurrently rezoning it consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan. In this case,because it is designated Residential Single Family on the
Comprehensive Plan, staff is recommending R-8 zoning which would allow a maximum of eight
units per net acre.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Council set April 17,2006, for a public hearing to consider two ordinances related to the
Hoquiam Annexation. One of these ordinances would rezone the site to R-8, consistent with the
Comprehensive Pan, and the other would effectuate the annexation by Council action.

Boundary Review Board for King County has now approved this annexation; and,
Whether the non-street portions of this annexation should be zoned R-8, eight units per net
acre, consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation of RS, upon
annexation into the City.
RECOMMENDATION:

This rectangular shaped annexation is bisected through its middle by 142m1 Avenue SE
(Hoquiam Avenue NE) and is located in Renton's Potential Annexation Area. The site is
currently zoned R-4 (4 units per gross acre) in King County and designated for R-8 zoning
Ni""' under Renton's Residential Single Family(RS) Comprehensive Plan land use designation. The
first of the two required public hearings on future zoning for this annexation was held on
September 26, 2005. Pursuant to the authorization of the City Council, the Notice of Intent
package was sent to the Boundary Review Board on December 23, 2005,beginning their

mandatory 45-day review. The Board notified the City that it had approved the Hoquiam
Annexation effective February 7, 2006.
This annexation, if approved by Council will, along with the recently approved Park Terrace
Annexation, fill in the large peninsula of unincorporated land on the north side of NE 4th Street
west of 144th Avenue SE (Jericho Ave NE). It is anticipated that at full development
approximately 104 additional single-family detached dwellings could be added to the 20.5 acre
area under the City's R-8 zoning. And with full development in an estimated 10 years, this
annexation is anticipated to have a positive fiscal impact of nearly$20,000 per year.
In order to effectuate this annexation, the Council will need to adopt the two attached
ordinances, the first for the annexation itself, and the second, for concurrent R-8 zoning,
consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
CONCLUSION:
Having complied with relevant statute requirements and having been approved by the
Boundary Review Board and found by staff to be consistent with relevant City land use and
annexation policies, the Administration is recommending that Council bring the Hoquiam
Annexation into the City and rezone it R-8, consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Council last considered this annexation on August 1, 2005,when it accepted the 50/50 Method
Petition to Annex and authorized the Administration to forward the Notice of Intent package to
the Boundary Review Board for King County. The Boundary Review Board completed their
mandatory 45-day review of the Falk II Annexation and notified the City that it was approved
effective January 5, 2006. Having already held the first of two required public hearings on future
zoning for the annexation site and assuming Council will choose to bring it into the City,the City
is now required to hold a second public hearing on future zoning. At this public hearing, the
Administration will be asking Council to consider two ordinances, one adopting the annexation
and the other, rezoning it concurrently consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Because it
is designated Residential Single Family on the Comprehensive Plan, staff is recommending R-8
zoning consistent with this land use designation, which would allow a maximum of eight units
per net acre.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Council set April 17, 2006 for a public hearing to consider two ordinances related to the Falk II
Annexation. One of these ordinances would rezone the site to R-8, consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, and the other would effectuate the annexation by Council action.

TO: Randy Corman, Council President
Councilmembers
VIA: j,Kathy Keolker, Mayor
FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator
STAFF CONTACT: Don Erickson(X-6581)
SUBJECT: Falk II Annexation—Effectuation and Rezoning
ISSUE:
Whether the 6.29-acre Falk II Annexation should now be brought into the City in that the
Boundary Review Board for King County has now approved this annexation; and,
Whether the non-street portions of this annexation should be zoned R-8, eight units per net
acre, consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, upon annexation into the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
• That Council accept the Falk II Annexation and adopt the ordinance effectuating it; and,
• That Council support R-8 zoning for the Falk II Annexation site, exclusive of streets, and
adopt a zoning ordinance to do this.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The 6.29-acre Falk II Annexation is located immediately south of the former Falk Annexation
at the corner of 102nd Avenue SE and South 47th Street, west of 102nd Avenue SE. Because of
timing issues, it was decided to split the original Falk Annexation into two annexations. The
original Falk Annexation was approved in December 2003. The current site is zoned R-6 (6
units per gross acre) in King County and designated for R-8 zoning under Renton's Residential
Single Family(RS) Comprehensive Plan land use designation. The first of the two required
public hearings on future zoning for this annexation was held on August 1, 2005. Pursuant to
the authorization of Council the Notice of Intent package was sent to the Boundary Review
Board on November 15, 2005, beginning their mandatory 45-day review. The Board notified
the City that it had approved the Falk II Annexation effective January 5, 2006.
March 17,2006
Page 2
This smaller than normal annexation,when approved, will complete the originally proposed —
Falk Annexation before it was split into two pieces back in 2002. It is anticipated that at full
development, approximately 40 additional single-family detached dwellings could be added to
the 6.29-acre area under the City's R-8 zoning. And with full development in an estimated 10
years, this annexation is anticipated to have a positive fiscal impact of over$8,000 per year.
In order to effectuate this annexation, the Council will need to adopt the two attached
ordinances, the first for the annexation itself, and the second, for concurrent R-8 zoning,
consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
CONCLUSION:
Having complied with relevant statute requirements and having been recently approved by the
Boundary Review Board and found by staff to be consistent with relevant City land use and
annexation policies, the Administration is recommending that Council bring the Falk II
Annexation into the City and rezone it R-8, eight units per net acre, consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan.

VIA: >" Mayor Kathy Keolker
FROM: Kevin Milosevich, Interim Police Chief
STAFF CONTACT: Katie McClincy, Police Commander
SUBJECT: Issue Paper—Interlocal Agreement Regarding
Taxicab and For-Hire Licensing
ISSUE: The City of Renton Municipal Code (Chapter 24, Section 6-24-1) requires any
for-hire vehicle operating within the City limits to obtain and display a King County
taxicab license. It appears that the City of Renton and the County of King do not have a
current Interlocal agreement in place to allow King County to conduct enforcement of
their regulations in the City of Renton.
BACKGROUND: King County licenses over 2,100 taxicab drivers and 841 vehicles
each year. King County Regulations (KCC 6.64.010) specifically define taxicab
operations as "the pickup and transportation of any fare paying passenger from a point
within the geographical confines of unincorporated King County." Many complaints
received regarding the operation of taxicabs and for-hire vehicles span more than one
jurisdiction during the course of a single complaint. King County's Records, Elections,
and Licensing Services Division oversees the licensing and enforcement of laws relating
to taxicabs and for-hire vehicles in King County, to include the jurisdictions of
municipalities where an Interlocal Agreement has been entered into. This is at no cost to
the municipality, and does not preclude local law enforcement from enforcing state laws
or city ordinances in regard to the operation of taxicabs or for-hire vehicles.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: The Administration recommends that the City
Council approve an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Renton and the County of
King for licensing and operation of taxicabs and for-hire vehicles, and the enforcement of
regulations associated with such licensing and operation.
CONCLUSION: The Administration continues to seek partnerships that enable the City
to provide ever more effective services. Entering into an Interlocal Agreement with King
County regarding the licensing of taxicabs and for-hire vehicles, and enforcement of such
regulations will serve to consolidate and streamline the regulation of such businesses at
no cost to the City of Renton.

RE: Interlocal Agreement with the City of Renton—Taxicab&For-hire Licensing
Dear City Clerk:
Enclosed are two copies for signature of the Taxicab Interlocal Agreement between King
County and the City of Renton. `"
City of Renton Municipal Code (Chapter 24, section 6-24-1) requires any for-hire vehicle
operating within the City limits to obtain and display a King County taxicab license.
Although this ordinance has been in effect since 1994, it appears that we do not have a
current interlocal agreement in place. Due to the regional nature of the taxicab business,
we would like to establish a relationship for enforcement and licensing of taxicab and for-
hire drivers and vehicles in the City of Renton.
We have received complaints from your citizens regarding drivers that appeared to be
unlicensed operating in the City limits and have been unable to respond to and investigate
these complaints in your jurisdiction. We have been working with your police
department and Chief Anderson on addressing complaint issues. In order to establish this
arrangement the County and the City would need to sign an interlocal agreement.
I would be happy to meet with you to discuss this interlocal agreement further and present
materials and historical data regarding the taxicab industry history of regulation and
enforcement.
Enclosed are two Interlocal Agreements that have been reviewed and comments
incorporated from your legal division. If you agree both signed copies should be returned
to our office, so that they can be finalized and an original returned to you.
If you have any questions or would like to schedule a time to discuss this issue further,
please call me at(206)296-2713.

Re: Scope and Cost Estimate for Basemapping at various sites.
Dear Dave,
Based on my discussions with you, together with the information you sent to me
with your letter dated Feb 23, 2006, we are pleased to offer the following scope
and cost estimate for the survey services required:
Project Understanding:
The goal of this project is to create basemaps suitable for use in construction
drawings.
I have grouped the various alignments into 5 sites.
Site 1 is South 3rd Street etal with approximately 4000 feet of mapping.
Site 2 is Cedar Ave South with approximately 600 feet of mapping.
Site 3 is Talbot Road South with approximately 1400 feet of mapping.
Site 4 is NE 10th Street and NE 9th Street with approximately 1600 feet of
mapping.
Site 5 is Duvall Ave NE and NE 10th Street with approximately 3000 feet of route.
Scope of Services:
1. Research and confirm primary control points on City of Renton datum for
use on the project.

2. Provide field survey and base maps for the development of plan and profile
sheets for the Contract Documents.
3. Provide a base map showing right-of-way and lot lines, two-foot
contours,and all surface features. The adjoining properties will be identified
by the King County Tax ID number and owners name as available from the
County's GIS.
4. All underground utilities will be located from locators paint, and readily
available maps from the provider.
5. Establish horizontal and vertical control points along the route. Points will
be set at approximate 500 foot intervals.
6. Geotechnical features and test sites/ boreholes will be located on the base
maps as appropriate.
7. Provide the base map in AutoCAD 2005 format using layers approved by
Renton. The scale will be one to one. Text will be parallel to the
alignment.
Time Schedule:
We are available to begin work on this project within 3 days of notice to proceed.
Field crew can be scheduled for field mapping and setting the parcel corners
within ten working days. We anticipate delivery of the updated topographic
mapping within an additional 10 working days.
Estimated Fees:
Fee for Sites 1 through 4 $40,500.00.
Estimated fee for Site 5 $ 13,800.00.
This amount is not to be exceeded without prior authorization for revised or
additional scope of service.

Dear mayor, city council president, chairman of the ERC, Planning Comm chairman, and
committee members of the Planning&Development Committee(with CC to other council
members)
I have read again the subject NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PROPOSED
DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE(DNS).
I do not believe the City's current rush to approve this project on the basis that this rezoning is
unlikely to have significant environmental impacts is in the best interests of the citizens. In fact,
I think that this statement contained in the subject notice is a total falsehood. I believe that the
mayor and her administration are maneuvering SEPA regulations in order to "fast track" this
project to avoid an EIS. Isn`t this illegal?.
I repeat from the subject notice:
"As lead agency, the City of Renton has determined that significant environmental impacts are
unlikely to result from the proposed zoning. Therefore, as permitted under the RCW
43.21C.410,the City of Renton is using the Optional DNS process to give notice that a DNS is
likely to be issued. Comment periods for the project and the proposed DNS are integrated into a
single comment period. There will be no comment period following the issuance of the
Threshold Determination of Non-Significance(DNS). A 14-day appeal period will follow the
issuance of the DNS."
I note from the next paragraph that March 17, 2006, is the date of "NOTICE OF COMPLETE
APPLICATION." I assume this means no further comment on rezoning will be taken after April
17th. This makes no sense to me.
I think that the rezoning currently proposed ABSOLUTELY has significant environmental
impacts. You say that 60%of the population lives in the Highlands and that the Highlands is 3%
of the city's land mass, and yet you want to make it an even higher density? That doesn't make
any sense to me.
If you here about the Highlands Redevelopment,take one of these. Page 2 of 3
Mayor Koelker, Councilman Clawson, and Council Pres Randy Corman have made public
statements regarding crime statistics which we cannot substantiate. For example,the statistics
quoted regarding crime in the Highlands and regarding police resources assigned there. The
mayor, Dan, and Randy all failed to mention that only 3 patrols are assigned to the Highlands at
any given time-3 officers assigned, maybe 4, in an area that contains the largest population!
That's not 20%of the resources as has been publicized. No wonder there is crime in the
Highlands. Allocating police resources based on population makes sense to me, and it is a valid
way to reduce crime without disrupting the lives of the families who reside in the single family
dwellings and duplexes. This is what makes sense to me.
You speak of the poor condition of the homes; and with regard to LUA-06-030 R ECF sent out
under Ray Giometti's name, the City proposes a minimum density of R10 per acre, a base density
of R14 per acre and a possible R80 per acre for"bonuses" given to developers. Saying that
rezoning of this magnitude is unlikely to cause a significant environmental impact makes no
sense to me.
I implore those of you who plan on running for office in Nov 2007 to oppose this action and
REQUIRE AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT with unbiased and accurate
analysis of both Option A and Option B. This is the only thing that makes sense to me.
>From the City's website, it is clear that Highlands Redevelopment "her way" is the mayor's
highest priority and her personal claim to fame. It's time to step off her"ego car" and slow this
train down. Show us an environmental impact statement which looks at Option A and Option B
with an unbiased way, to use verifiable statistics, so that we can have confidence in what you are
doing. According to Dan Clawson's comments at last weeks council meeting of 3/27/06, it is
clear that the City hasn't even coordinated with the main property owners, never mind the
adjoining property owners who will also be affected, yet it has a 14-day comment period already
in play starting tomorrow? Randy Corman's elation over this situation evades me; and it doesn't
make any sense to me_
Simple things like assigning a number of patrols based upon population, making low cost loans
available to fix up the run down homes, plantings along the streets—this can make a rundown
area into a lovely neighborhood, without a huge investment and still preserve affordable homes
for the people of Renton. And it can be done without getting rid of the homes of the families
who have taken care of this property over the years. This makes sense to me.
I looked at the foundations this weekend as I spoke with the people about AFFORDABLE
HOUSING, I really didn't see any serious foundation problems. And if there are problems, they
are easily fixed. The unkept duplexes can be made into cute bungalows, if given an opportunity.
And there are many remodeled duplexes to prove this point. Saving the well kept residences
and fixing up the rundown ones makes sense to me, much more sense that the high density
neighborhood the mayor wants.
City leaders have not tried a great number"of things" to improve that neighborhood as the mayor
has indicated. Pd like to see her produce such a list. The recent code enforcement is really the
If you here about the Highlands Redevelopment,take one of these. Page 3 of 3
•
first significant action undertaken by the City. Reallocating police resources commensurate with
population, along with code enforcement, can go a long way to improving the neighborhood and
encouraging business growth. Please consider whether more ego than common sense has gone
into the current "fast track" approach. Please take time to do this, it is the only thing that makes
sense to me at this point.
Council members,you don't have to support the mayor's ego trip. It appears from the
comments of Dan Clawson and Randy Corman at last week's city council meeting,that they have
swallowed the mayor's vision—hook,tine, and sinker. Require her administration to provide
accurate and verifiable statistics which look at both Options A and B in an unbiased fashion.
This means the current "fast track" must be put aside. This is the only course of action that
makes any sense at this point.
Members of the Environmental Review Committee,you must consider that your
paychecks come from the People, not the mayor, so that you don't become "yes men" to a SEPA
process which has no viable neutral oversight unless you provide it. (Gregg, please pass this
note on to your co-members.) If you do that, I'm sure that you will not support a
DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE in the case of rezoning. It is obvious to me that
there are many environmental impacts from such a huge change to zoning. . This is the only
action by the ERC that makes sense to me.
The Highlands Redevelopment Plan must be put on hold, so that adequate and unbiased planning
can take place and so that the People really do have adequate and meaningful input. Only in that
way will the People feel confident in what city leaders are doing.
People outside the Subarea will look at what you are doing and wonder, "Is my neighborhood
next?" And we know that other neighborhoods are on your"hit list" from comments made at the
City Council Retreat on March 8, 2006. Erron the side of caution, please.
The emporor-ess has been wearing no clothes for too long. Please throw a blanket over her and
do what is right and fair for the citizens, also known as voters come next Nov 2007.
This correspondence is being sent to the City Clerk to ensure that it becomes part of the City's
official records, whether the mayor and/or council chose to acknowledge it as "new
correspondence" or not.
Sincerely,
Inez Somerville Petersen
Private Citizen and Secretary of the Highlands Comm Association

*****Added comment: What will any other future public comment periods
matter if the zoning allowing up to 80 units per acre is already in place and
single family dwellings and duplexes become NON CONFORMING?******

Renton, WA 98056
To whom it may concern, and Inez Somerville Petersen:
Thank you for sending me"The Highlander"
I own a duplex at 1222 Kirkland Ave. North Renton
I plan on speaking at either the Planning Commission meeting, or the City Council
Meeting, or both. My view-is the same as in your letter that there are better means to
improving the Highlands other than the condemning property via eminent domain.
A City in Minnesota recently lost a similar case and the City ended up paying millions in
damages as a result.Let me know if you are interested in finding out mare and I can get
you the pertinent information. I would be in favor of beginning to research our legal
options and make it clear to the City that if they continue to peruse with a heavy hand
there will be a suit tiled against the City. Legal action is something neither party wants,
and a better approach should be the way both parties proceed.
Thanks for keeping me in the loop ..
By the way I have already sent a certified letter to the Mayor expressing that 1 am utterly
dismayed by the current proposal.

To cut through the bureaucratic bull tonight, just
ask the mayor and the city council members what will
happen to the property owner who refuses to sell his property
at the price the City or Developer wants to pay?
There's only one answer under OPTION A,
and that is use of Eminent Domain.

I SUPPORT OPTION 'B'

What Randy Gorman, Dan Clawson and Jay Covington said at last week's
city council meeting regarding the Highlands Redevelopment - Page 1 of 4
Transcribed comments from Council Pres Randy Corman AFTER Howard McOmber
and Inez Petersen spoke at the 3/27/06 city council meeting:
Madam mayor, I just want to respond to one of the points raised which is about couldn't we
do this by adding more police and more code enforcement. As I remember the
numbers, we've got about 3%of our property using about 20%of those resources
today, so we could go up to adding or putting 40 or 50%of the police resources on
that 3%of the property, but it's just not just efficient. And if we can solve this through
the redevelopment which is something that is needed because of the poor condition of
many of the properties then we'll suddenly have 20%more police to use in the
downtown and elsewhere. And I think the whole city will benefit from that
Inez's correction for Randy Gorman's benefit: According to the supervisory
personnel in the Renton Police Department, there are 3 patrols in any given 12-hour
shift assigned to the Highlands out of a total of 95 officers. Again, according to
supervisory personnel in the Renton Police Department, once in awhile a motorcycle
patrol or bike patrol will assigned to the Highlands as well. So it would appear that
about 4%of the police officers are assigned to the Highlands at any given time, not
enough for an area which contains 60% of the population (ref Heartland Study).
If 20% of police resources were assigned to the Highlands, as Randy indicated, that
would be about 19 patrols. With 19 officers at any given time, crime would be non
existent. 3 patrols is not enough for a neighborhood with as much density as the City
indicates is in the Highlands, ref outdated Heartland Study.
Randy Gorman supports the aggressive redevelopment of Option A based upon
statistics which appear to be exaggerated or outdated. We all agree that the
Highlands needs upgrading, but the HCA supports Option B, where the People work
with the City to upgrade the neighborhood. It doesn't produce the high tax revenues
that high density housing does. But does the City really need MORE revenue at the
expense of the current population of the Subarea?
Jay Covington(mayor's administrator): Madam mayor, if I could just ah appreciate Miss
Petersen mentioning HER newsletter. I'm glad that they attached the document that the
council had at the retreat because one of the things that document makes very clear is
the use of eminent domain as proposed and discussed by the council would only
used as a last resort and only after all other options were exhausted. That was very
clear in the document. And to Miss Petersen's credit she at least attached that document
verbatim with HER newsletter.
I think the other thing I'd just let the general public know is this city has a history of
"accumulating property"for redevelopment projects. We have not done that by
eminent domain. In fact, there have been very few times that we have used that with the
exception of some right of way purchase, and almost always it has been with the consent of
the property owner because there are some tax advantages in many cases to using eminent
domain. [Jay, what about city hall?]
I think I can recall a couple of downtown development projects where we have accumulated
properties with the consent and done it through purchases and other instances. So I think
the only people who are throwing the eminent domain out there as our first and only
alternative are unfortunately the author of the newsletter. This council has been very
What Randy Corman, Dan Clawson and Jay Covington said at last week's
city council meeting regarding the Highlands Redevelopment - Page 2 of 4
clear about when and if it would use it, and again only as a last resort, and only after all
other options have been considered.
Inez's correction for Jay Covingonton's benefit: To read about how the City of
Renton used eminent domain in an attempt to obtain the city hall building, please
refer to http://www.seanet.com/-webgirl/rpan/and select the article from the pull
down menu.
The Community Renewal Act is all about blighting a neighborhood to facilitate
economic development. If a seller won't sell at the price offered, condemnation or
eminent domain is used. It's that simple. Once a neighborhood is blighted, do the
unsold properties hold their value? It is so disingenuous to say eminent domain is
the last resort. It is the natural end step of the Community Renewal Act, which Act
the City intends to use.
The HCA has been in favor of Option B which would not make existing single family
homes and duplexes NON CONFORMING and which would allow property owners
to improve their own property and sell or stay, as their private property rights dictate.
We have never said the"first and only option is eminent domain."
The high densities sought by city leaders are ludicrous if we are to believe their
statistics that 60% of the city's population lives in 3% of the city's land mass. Why
make an already over populated neighborhood even more populated of over 1600
more residences?
Dan Clawson: Madam mayor. . . One thing that we learned at the council offsite that the
percentage of homeowners actually residing in the study area was very small. I believe that
there were less than 30 units that were owner occupied. And the majority are owned by
people who live elsewhere, some of them in Renton and some of them in other cities.
[lnez: So that means they don' have any private property rights?j
Dan Clawson(cont'd):
The staff will be contacting each property owner, as I understand. And that is what I expect
before I will support anything. Each and every property owner and see how they feel about
our approach
Inez's comment: Isn't it a little late in the game to be talking of contacting property
owners, and are you really going to pay any attention to what they say? What about
the hundreds of renters? Don't they matter too?
City leaders will not yet have heard from the People at the Ping Comm meeting on
April 12`"or at the council meeting on April 17'x', but on April 4Th, the die will be cast
when the Environmental Review Board makes a determination on LUA-06-030
DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE on rezoning, a rezone with
SIGNIFICANT environmental impacts.
Dan Clawson(cont'd):
and so I know we have people that are stepping up and claiming to represent the
property owners but what we need to do is talk to the property owners and that is
exactly what we are going to do and then we'll go from there.
What Randy Corman, Dan Clawson and Jay Covington said at last week's
city council meeting regarding the Highlands Redevelopment - Page 3 of 4
Inez's comment: Just what does Dan mean by, "We have people stepping up and
claiming to represent the property owners"? He should have attended the last
general HCA meeting to see how many people support the HCA and support Option
B. At least the Board of the HCA has talked to the property owners. From Dan's
comments, the City hasn't. Shouldn't the City has spoken with the property owners
AND the tenants BEFORE they talked to the developers?
Dan Clawson(cont'd):
And just a word about eminent domain, I think if you really don't like eminent domain I think
you should live it. Don't buy any goods that have traveled on an airplane or been delivered
on a truck, because without eminent domain, we would not have airports, we would not have
highways. Eminent domain is the only way that the public can acquire property at a
reasonable price, because otherwise people are going to pick the deep pockets of the
government and the government is us, it is the taxpayers, so without the ability to use
eminent domain it becomes impossible to for a government to acquire land at a
reasonable price.
[Inez: Read this paragraph twice to get the full effect of what he is saying.]
Dan Clawson(cont'd):
But as Randy Corman said, that would be the last resort. I think for myself I can't speak for
the other council members but the plan that I've seen so far, and it has a lot to be filled in,
what it would do would unlock the value of this property. The value of the property is
being held down by the nature of some of the properties there by the zoning and so forth.
[Inez: So upzone and let the People develop and stay or develop and sell or just sell.]
Dan Clawson(cont'd):
But by rezoning it, by accumulating the property, it makes it more efficient to develop and
it unlocks the value of the land, and that's really what investors own. They own land, many
of them are buildings that are 60 years old, they are knockdowns . Nobody is going to
pay$300,000 or$400,000 for a 2-bedroom WWII house, no matter what you do to it.
Inez's comment: Clawson is laughing out loud as he said these words, but one duplex
just sold for$312,000 this week and one sold for$250,000 last week. He's talking about
just owning the land , aka just paying for the land.
Dan Clawson(cont'd):
There is a lot of thought that has to go into this, and we have not made the council has not
voted on anything but before we do anything we will need to know a lot more detail and
really hear from the actual owners of these properties.
Inez's Comment: But he knows very well that the Environmental Review
Committee meets Tues morning, Apr 4t', and if they accept LUA-06-030, then no
Environmental Impact Statement will be required and the environmental impacts
caused by rezoning will be overlooked, so the project can continue along its current
"fast track."
Dan Clawson(cont'd):
One more thing and I'll end it here. We are very concerned about the residents there now.
If just let private development go in and redo the Highlands, we're gonna end up with
property that is unaffordable for the people who live there now. Many of them are low
income. They are paying$500-600-700 a month to live in half of a duplex.
What Randy Gorman, Dan Clawson and Jay Covington said at last week's
city council meeting regarding the Highlands Redevelopment - Page 4 of 4
You cannot build new housing at a profit and rent something like that you know it
would not be up to code and you just can't do it. So that's why there are many non
profit builders. You may have heard of Habitat for Humanity. You may have heard of St.
Andrew Housing Group. There are many, many non profit builders that could come in there,
build houses, they would not be probably houses, it would be multi-family units and manage
these units in such a way that drug dealers are not allowed to live there, people who let their
teen-age kids run wild and vandalize are not allowed to live there.
Inez: We'll see how many non profit builders really build and stay to manage the
complexes
Dan Clawson(cont'd):
It becomes something that is very valuable. And we can put social service providers in
there so that these families have the support they need to be functional and good citizens,
and that's going to help the crime problem and help everybody.
So there are a lot of reasons why we are looking at getting this deeply involved and it's
something that's just not going to happen if we just let the private market do it You look
around and what you end up with is called "gentrification"property values go up. Low
income and middle income they leave. That has happened all over the country, all over the
world, and it will happen here unless we step in and do something.
Inez's comment: By his very words, and by Randy's, we can tell that their minds
are made up to go with Option A and to let the Environmental Review Committee
vote to support what the mayor wants, not what is best for the people who live in the
Highlands Subarea, be they property owners or tenants.

by Inez Somerville Petersen, Secretary of the Highlands Community Association
THE CORRECT STATEMENT REGARDING THE HCA'S POSITION ON HIGHLANDS
REDEVELOPMENT
The HCA Board nor Inez Petersen individually has ever said that the City's"first and only
alternative"was eminent domain (condemnation).
However, there's a connection between "accumulating property" and eminent domain. And
some people remember how eminent domain was used in an attempt to acquire the current
City Hall at less than market value. That's why some of us wonder about what is going to
happen in the Highlands once the upzoning is accepted as NON-SIGNIFICANT.
The HCA position is still as it has always been: That the people should be the deciding
force behind how THEIR property is developed. For years, the City of Renton done nothing
to help the Highlands area, city leaders let the Highlands become what it is; and now they
have a plan? Option A is an aggressive land grab to change the neighborhood with up to
80 units per acre, and in the process make single family dwellings and duplexes become
NON CONFORMING, which means these owners won't be able to get the building permits
to upkeep and enhance the property.
In Nov 2007, do not vote for any elected officials who did not support Option B:
Mayor Kathy Koelker, Denis Law, Toni Nelson, Don Persson, and Marci Palmer
