PUBLIC HEARING a) Eric Ressler II Annexation&Zoning(A-17-001): 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 hearing to consider the Eric Ressler II Annexation and zoning; approximately 4.4 acres, located in the East Plateau Community Planning Area, bordered by parcel lines on all sides; to the south is SE 134th St(if extended), to the east is 164th Av SE (if extended), to the north by City limits which runs along a parcel line at NE 1st PI, and by City limits at 160th Av SE (if extended). After reviewing the Annexation process, Long Range Planning Manager Angie Mathias reported that the proposed Eric Ressler II Annexation site is in the East Plateau Community Planning Area Potential Annexation Area (PAA), is approximately 4.3 acres,and contains single-family homes. She noted that the topography of the area has some slopes, but nothing that would constitute as critical.There are no streams in the vicinity, however there are wetlands about 800 feet to the north, 500 feet to the south, and 1,100 feet to the south east. Additionally, she noted that all the public services provided to the area would stay the same. Reviewing the site's zoning, Ms. Mathias stated that the area is designated in King County's Comprehensive Plan as Urban Residential Medium (four dwelling units per acre). She reported that the City's Comprehensive Plan pre-zoned the site as R-4 zoning (four dwelling units per net acre)that would become effective at the time of annexation. Ms. Mathias reported that there are 2 dwellings within the area with an estimated 6 residents. It is estimated there could be 10 additional dwelling units with an estimated 28 additional 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,following staff review,the proposed annexation represents a logical extension of City services, 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. September 25, 2017 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES She further outlined that the Administration recommends that Council accept the 60% Direct Petition to Annex the property and authorize the Administration to forward the Notice of intent to the Boundary Review Board. Public comment was invited: The following individuals expressed concerns related to how current residents of the surrounding area could be impacted if the area is annexed by the City of Renton, as well as concerns related to wildlife impacts, the potential for increased taxes, and increases in crime and over-development of the area: • Donald Helm, Renton • Dennis Bailey, Renton • Caren Smith, Renton There being no further comments, it was MOVED BY PRINCE, SECONDED BY CORMAN,COUNCIL CONCUR TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Councilmember Corman encouraged local residents to communicate with the Community and Economic Development Department if they have any concerns related to development of the property. However, he reiterated that the decision being made this evening was one strictly concerning whether or not the City should annex this piece of property, not to develop it.
