PUBLIC MEETING a) Wolf Woods Annexation (A-17-002):This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public meeting to consider the 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings petition for the proposed Wolf Woods Annexation; approximately eight acres at the eastern portion of City limits in the East Plateau Community Planning Area. Long Range Planning Manager Angie Mathias reported that the proposed Wolf Woods Annexation site is in the East Plateau Community Planning Area Potential Annexation Area (PAA), and contains single-family homes and vacant property.She noted that the topography of the area has some steep slopes, indicating that the critical area regulations would apply to the area. Greenes Creek is located on site and it is a Type Ns Stream that does not contain fish and has a seasonal flow, and there are wetlands located about 200 feet south of the site. Additionally, she noted that none of the area's public services would change:the area would stay within the Issaquah School District,would be served by the Renton Regional Fire Authority, and it would remain within water district#90 and the Renton Sewer Utility. Reviewing the site's zoning, Ms. Mathias stated that the area is designated in King County's Comprehensive Plan as Urban Residential Medium (four to twelve dwelling units per acre) and the Renton Land Use designation is Residential Low Density which allows for RC, R-1, or R-4 zoning if annexed into the City.She reported that the City's Comprehensive Plan pre- zoned the site in 1997 with an R-5 zoning. However,the City no longer has R-5 zoning, so if the annexation were to proceed it would also need to be zoned concurrently. Ms. Mathias reported that there are five dwellings within the area with an estimated 11 residents. It is estimated there would be eight additional dwelling units with an estimated 18 more residents, based on the zoning standards over the next 10 years. If annexed, a conservative estimate of the fiscal impacts are that there would be a 3.3%annual cost increase and a 2.5%annual revenue increase. Concluding, Ms. Mathias stated that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City annexation policies and Boundary Review board objectives, and the City's best interests and general welfare would be served by this annexation. Public Comment was invited. • Claudia Donnelly, Renton, addressed Council regarding concerns related to possible impacts to her property which is located near the proposed annexation site. • Susan Wolf, Renton,thanked Council for holding the public meeting and for considering annexing her property.
