10% Notice of Intent -Revised
Public Meeting -September 12, 1988
LOCATION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The applicant proposes the annexation of eight (8) parcels of property totalling
approximately 5.51 acres located south of the existing Renton corporate limits in the
vicinity of SE 116th Street and 142nd Avenue SE (see Figures I and 2). The signatures
on the annexation petition constitute 85% of the total assessed valuation within the
proposed annexation area.
The annexation proponent wishes to annex to the City of Renton in order to connect to
City sewer service and subdivide his property.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The City limits in the vicinity of the proposed annexation were created by Ordinance
Number 2946 on July 7, 1975.
The subject site has a 1988 total assessed valuation of $511,000. The property is
currently zoned RS-7200 in King County. This zone provides for single-family
residences at urban densities and other related compatible uses which contribute to a
complete urban environment. A minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet is required.
The City of Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject site as Single-Family
Residential. This designation is placed upon areas intended for detached single-family
dwelling units and related compatible low density uses. The Planning Division
recommends the imposition of R-I Single-Family Residential zoning upon annexation.
The area encompassed by the proposed annexation is currently sparsely developed with
six (6) single-family residences. Existing land uses in the vicinity of the subject site
consist primarily of scattered single-family residences on large lots, single-family
residences in a platted subdivision to the south, and Hazen High School to the north.
ANNEXATION REVIEW SUMMARY
Fetterly Annexation -10% Notice of Intent (revised)
September 12, 1988
The Renton City Council considered the initial 10% notice of intent petition for the
Fetterly Annexation at a public meeting on June 20, 1988. The original petition
encompassed five (5) parcels of property totalling approximately 3.61 acres as illustrated
on Figure 3. At this initial public meeting, the owners of three (3) additional parcels
totalling 1.9 acres indicated interest in expanding the proposed annexation boundaries to
include their property. Since the initial public meeting, the annexation proponent has
contacted numerous property owners in the vicinity to determine any additional interest
in annexation. None of the other property owners expressed interest in pursuing
annexation at this time.
PUBLIC SERVICES
The subject site is located within the jurisdiction of King County Water District 90.
Upon annexation, the District will continue to maintain responsibility for water service
provision to the subject site until such time as the City and the District agree to a
transfer of service responsibility. Water lines in the vicinity of the subject site are
illustrated in Figure 4. An 8-inch Water District 90 water main runs under NE 10th
Street/SE 116th Street. There are no City water lines immediately adjacent to the
subject site.
The subject site is not located within a sewer district. Upon annexation, sewer service
can be provided by the City to the western portion of the subject site through a
connection to an existing 8-inch gravity main under NE 10th Street/SE 116th Street (see
Figure 5). The provision of sewer service to the eastern portion of the subject site may
require an extension of the 8-inch gravity main, or an easement through the northern
portion of the subject site. The owners of these ·properties will need to work directly
with the City's Utility Engineering Department in order to determine the. most logical
and cost-effective means of connecting to sewer service. .
Fire service is presently provided by King County Fire District 25's Station I located at
12923 -156th Avenue SE. Upon annexation, the City of Renton's Fire Station 12,
located at 900 Harrington Avenue NE, would provide the initial response. Secondary
response would be provided by the City's Station 1\, located at 211 Mill Avenue South.
Police patrols regularly pass the proposed annexation site on Hoquiam Avenue NE/142nd
Avenue SE.
ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION
l. The majority of the City departments evaluating the proposed annexation did not
find any Significant problems related to their areas of responsibility as a result of
this proposal. The Fire Department notes that SE 116th Street/NE 10th Street is
unimproved in the vicinity of the subject site, thereby potentially increasing
emergency response times to the annexation area. The Planning Division
recommends that this road be improved to City standards as a condition of future
development within the annexation area.

2. All reviewing departments indicate that the proposed annexation represents a
logical extension of the services provided by their respective departments.
3. The majority of the reviewing departments indicate that service to the annexation
area can be accommodated with existing facilities, staff and budget resources.
However, the Design Engineering Department states that existing staffing levels
cannot support any additional annexations at this time. A detailed cost-revenue
estimate will be conducted prior to Council's review of the 75% Petition.

annexation. The Design Engineering Department notes that, although the
annexation proposal is a logical extension of the City, existing staffing levels

proposals. The proposed annexation is generally consistent with those policies
favoring the extension of existing public services; it falls within the City's
identified sphere of influence; and it is within the City's general service area.
