The establishment of industrial standards to include 60 ' builaing setbacks along South 180th Street with 20 ' side yards along the east and west property lines , and provision within these setback areas for land-oaping over the south 20 ' and the east and west 10 ' of Tax Lot 30 . b .

The re- classification of any additional property to B-1 uses is considered to be premature at this time . It is further recommended that the ap- plicants grant unto the City by quit claim deed or by reservation of an easement for roadway and utility purposes of the west 12 ' of the property described in the application along 132nd Avenue S. C. This recommendation is consistent with the action taken by adjacent devel- opment of 132nd Avenue S . E. to arterial standards. Mr. Donald Gouge, representing the applicants , stated that since the properties fronting on Sunset Highway are zoned B-1 , and the Comprehensive Plan indicates the suitability of business use to 500 ' in depth along Sunset Highway, the applicants are asking for the 290 ' to develop more depth for the proposed business. He also brought out the point that the development in depth would be desirable in helping to counteract the effect of strip zoning . He further pointed out that the R-3 zoning would act as a buffer between the B-1 and single family residential districts . In reply to a question as to whether actual plans have been made for the business and aear"tment used , Mr. Gouge stated that actual lans have been made con t int ent__ en the gr an �.ng o the rezone requests. ""T4 Mr. Jensen asked if the rezone is granted would it be reasonable to expect that the owner would improve and extend 134th Avenue SE, Mr. gouge thought this was a goo.:1 seeeestjm.

Mr. Perry recalled that last week when the Council voted in condurronce With the Planning Commission recommendations it was under the impression they were going to vote on the Ordinances and not hold them up for any conditions the Planning Commission had hiposed The passage was urged with the Planning Commission to impose the conditions i1 they can. The pending motion was tarried. Dahlquiot opposed. The Law and Ordinance Committee presented a proposed OrdinSnce of the City of Renton Washington changing the coping claseifieetion of certain propertied within the city of Renton from general ClaisifiOetion bistrict (10) to Heavy tnduotry �t14) and tight industry (L-l) respectively, (Rae Clyl�uan a Salvino Menefee property) The City Clerk read the docu. ment. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli, to refer the proposed Ordinance to the tow and Ordinance Committee for recommendation. Dahiquiet stated the Committee has a recem- mendation to do what the City Attorney had written., Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, to amend the motion to place the proposed Ordinance on second and final reading, Mayor Custer ruled this amendment out of order it being contrary to the original motion. Delaurenti stated the recommendation should come from the Law end Ordinance Committee as to whether for or against and Morrie replied that the Attetney'a communication pretty clearly states what position the council can take and ha did not feel that three committee \ members should decide whether the ordinance in proper or net. Perry stated that the City Attorney advised last week that if the Council carried through with recommendations of the Planning Commission re erdi g restriction* it was actin illegally and by referring it back to the Law and Ordinance Committee it did not alter the situation. Garrett stated that the property owners may came of their own free will per City Attorneys letter, and make any conciliiations on deeding any property or make any agreements they want and none of this is binding upon the rezone. The Council voted to rezone and that is the only thing before the council at the preeont tbae; whether thin is a good rezone or mt. Schellert advised that the Co miceion did not feel this is good zoning under present conditions and it properly should be referred to the taw and Ordinance Committee or perhaps to the Planning Committed. Inquiry 1439 made as to whether problems had arisen heretofore by reason of property owners not felfialta3 conditions. Planning Director Jensen stated that in all instsnceo the people are willing to proceed ae requested, other- wise the Commission would not recommend the rezone but the offers had been voluntary on the part of the property owners. All conditions and requests made for setbacks on certain streets , establishment of the uses and landscape wore such as might be contained in an industrial park zoning and the people realize the requirements are suitable for the area and some are in the process of preparation of the necenoary documents as agreed, and perhaps the matter should be held therefor. Trim recalled the attorneys tiding of illegality to put restrictions on property when rezonting,Ho'felt Planning Commissions repommendation to reetfict before rezoning is out of order. The motion intent, as made last week 10 tor rezone end if the people voluntarily agree to any restrictions, it is well, Only one instance of non-compliance was recalled. City Attorney 8hellnn advised that the Planning Commie idn and Council have a right to impose restrictions but these have to be eatebliohed by ordinance by amending Heavy Industry portion of the O 'dinance, saying from now on they ehould have setbacks, etc, in lieu of trying to enforce any laws that have not been adopted, The question was called for and the pending motion to refer to the Law end Ordinance Committee was subsequently carried.

City Attorney SUBJECT: Petition of the City of Renton - K. C. #790143 (Acquisition of R/W for Whitman Court) • Attached is a photocopy of letter received from counsel for Mr. Iffert and Mr. Dalpay , wherein he offers the City immediate pos- session of the property in question. You will recall the trial is presently set to commence July 23 , 1975 . The trial will probably take two days , and it will possibly be a week to two weeks later until a judgment is entered and the just compensation paid into court , which by Washington law would give the City title to the property and the right to possession thereof. In view of the fact that it may well be sometime in August before title to the property iA question is acquired, please consider and advise me if the City wants to accept the offer of immediate possession, which will allow for the City' s entry onto the property for construction purposes at such time as the court entered a stipulated order of im- mediate possession and the City paid its offer of just compensation into court . The matter of the possibility that the City may be required to pay reasonable attorney fees , as well as expert witness fees , incurred by the property owners (as determined by the court) is a factor in this instance , as the City did not formally request in writing immediate possession of the property. Specifically , in this case , the property owners would be entitled to an award of such fees , whether or not the offer of immediate possession is accepted if the judgment awarded as a result of the trial exceeds by 100 or more the highest written offer in settlement submitted to the property owners by the City at least 30 days prior to commencement of the trial. Please let me hear from you at your earliest opportunity with regard to the aforementioned offer of immediate possession. JKP:mew attach.

Stredicke, Councilman FROM: Gerard M. Shellan, City Attorney SUBJECT: Dear Dick: This is to acknowledge receipt of your Memo dated May 12 , 1975 , regarding Mr. John Tilton's inquiries . I am not quite certain whether your questions relate to any legal issue but simply pinpoint the possible need to revise some of the permitted uses within our different zoning Classifications . As you know, we have been suggesting this for a long time. However , the uses permitted by special permit only in an R-2 District would be limited to apartments , professional offices , mobile home parks and hotels , latter apparently meaning residential hotels . However, in order to have such a special permit certain definite findings will have to be made by the Planning Commission first and if there is an undue detrimental impact on the environment, no such permit can be issued. Each case, of course , has to be considered on its own merits . The purpose of Section 4-722 is a beneficial one since it allows some limited discretion to the Planning Commission, and to the Council upon review, to allow certain uses which may not be permitted outright , but could be tolerated in a given zone provided certain conditions are met. As you are well aware, the Shell case is an example of that type of situation. I would not suggest any change in the principles of the special permit procedure. • Incidentally, there is a table in the Code , which is part of it , relating to density for an R-2 District. We presume that Mr. Ericksen will provide you with any additional information on this . Gerard M. Shellah GMS :nd /I/ l 'r { Imo, /e ; LtA41 tm * ., C'r s,t Ate .

City Attorney SUBJECT: Petition of the City of Renton - King County Superior Court Cause No. 790143 (Whitman Court Right of Way Acquisition - L.I.D. #288) This is to confirm that Court Commissioner Niles on May 13 , 1975 granted Respondent property owners' Motion for Continuance of the trial from May 21, 1975 , and re-set the case to be tried commencing July 23 , 1975. (That was the earliest trial date available , per the calender clerk) . We urged the Court that at least one of the property owners was present at all Council meetings where the L.I.D. and "alternate access" was discussed; that the property owners were aware of the trial date and the fact that the City was going to hold to the May trial date pending final action of the City Council on the "alternate access" route ; that at no time did the City Attorney' s office indicat other than that the trial was going to proceed as of May 21, 1975 ; that no inquiry from Counsel for the property owners was made of this office on that point; that the apartments being built will be in need of access via the Sunset Highway; that the City's constructio:: plans are ready; that the City is in turn ready to commence construct: whenever the right of way is acquired; and that a continuance would set back construction during the best construction season and thus the City would face loss of this year's oonstruction season. The Court appeaid to be swayed by the following factors -- Counsel , for the property owners now has another case set for May 21; both Mr. Iffert and Mr. Dalpay contend that they will be out of town the last two weeks of May; that the continuance will not affect construct: of the apartments , as the access to and from Sunset Highway is availal by the "alternate route" , though unimproved; and the fact that the Cis Council did not take final action to continue with the L.I.D. and reject the "alternate route" until icy 5 -- leaving the issue open until some 16 days prior to trial date. Mr. Iffert was present at the argument on the Motion for Continuance. We asked him if, as a condition of the continuance, he would grant thE City the right of possession and use of the property , so the City elld proceed with the project; and that the City under those condition would deposit its offer of compensation into the registry of the Couri Mr. Iffert said he would not grant the City possession and use of the property, but is still holding out hope that the City will abandon the project.

Mead, City Jerk 11, I TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT JANUARY 2, 1974 SUBJECT: Whitman Court Street Vacation The Transportation Committee has conducted a series of meetings with the effected property owners in an effort to resolve the problems of access that would be created by the vacation of Whitman Court. An acceptable solution to the problem has not been forthcoming from the effected property owners. • The Transportation Committee therefore recommends that this matter be referred to the Planning Commission with instruction to review the pro- blems of access and other land use considerations effecting the develop- ment of properties in this area. It is desired that the Planning Commission make determinations and recommendations as to appropriate access consistent with the present zoning of the properties. It is the Committee's feeling that the present access through the residential development of Honeydew Estates is not appropriate for the development of multiple residential and commercial properties. It is the Committee's desire that Whitman Court be vacated to protect the residential character of Honeydew Estates, however, this cannot be accomplished until the access and land use con- . siderations are resolved. It is requested that the Planning Commission review this matter and report back with their recommendations as soon as possible. 'Gear a Perry, Chairman ` - Kenneth D.

SHELLAN, CITY ATTORNEY O �� JOHN K. PAIN, JR., ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY �4TED SE PI October 24 , 1973 Members of Legislation Committee City Hall Renton , Washington 98055 Re : Vacation of Portion of Whitman Court Northeast Gentlemen; We are handing you herewith original and two copies of the proposed Ordinance vacating a portion of Whitman Court Northeast . Would you please have the City Engineer provide the City Clerk with the legal description of the easement that the City is retaining and insert it at the appropriate place . As the undersigned had expressed at the Special Council Meeting on October 23 , 1973 when this matter was heard, it is extremely important for the City Council, before this vacation ordinance becomes effective , to realize that the City will be exposed to liability and damages if, as a result of such vacation, other parcels of property are landlocked. This apparently was the testimony of the City staff and any opponent to this vacation therefore would have adequate testimony available to conclude that the City was fully aware of the resulting damages to other owners . As I had explained on several occasions those property owners whose rights of access are substantially affected have a special interest in the matter which would entitle them to enjoin enforcement of a vacation ordinance and/or to sue for damages by reason of depreciation of property. Again therefore we would recommend that this ordinance not be finalized until such time as adequate substitute access has been secured, as suggested, and in the interim the affected property owners would sign a waiver in favor of the City relinquishing all rights and damages as long as such substitute access , as proposed will be secured. If we can be of any further assi nce to you in this matter , please advise . We remain Very trul rs , Ge rd M.

At Councilman Schellert's request, City Attorney Shellan briefly noted laws allowing vacation by petition or resolution of Council and holding public hearing thereon, vacation to be done in the public interest with only adjacent property owners having right to be heard, explaining City's right to retain easements. Public Works Director Gonnason showed area on map. Planning Director Ericksen presented slides showing the possible ingress and egress for multiple family residences (R-3) through single family area. Following lengthy discussion of 1965 rezone and alternate access, Mr. Howard S. Reed whose letter was read earlier, reported no other access in existence to clients' property if Whitman Court N.E. were vacated and damages would be expected to be paid if no alternate access arranged. Mr. Steve Schneider, 4325 N.E. llth St. , favored vacation to prevent traffic situation dangerous to children in Honey Dew Estates.

As we will be unable to attend the council meeting to be held October 23, 1973, please inform the coucil of our opinion regarding the vacation of Whitman Court N. E., Renton, Washington. We are in favor of the vacation for the following reasons: 1. If Whitman Court N. E. is used as the main entrance to the proposed apartments, it would create a heavy flow of traffic through a residential district. 2. The increase in traffic would increase the danger to the large number of children that live within Honey Dew Estates. 3. The roads around the proposed apartment area, especially south of Whitman Court N. E. were not designed for an excessive amount of traffic because there are three or four sharp corners that must be negotiated in order to gain entrance to the proposed development. 4. There would be a loss of privacy and an increase in noise in what is now a quiet residential area. Please thank the committe? for its concern, and let us know if we can do anything to "further the cause". � �,�02122?32q�v mac) bCT 1973 M1', RECEIVED :::: el R. Sands CLERK'S OFFICE 4340 N.

NAME NAME- /7/7 //) C3 ///6 C�/ � October 19, 1973 Honorable Avery Garrett, Mayor Members of the City Council Subject: Proposed Street Vacation - Whitman Court Gentlemen: The Public Works Department has reviewed the matter of the vacation as proposed in the City Council 's Resolution of Intention to vacate that portion of Whitman Court northerly of N.E. llth Street within the plat of Honeydew Estates. The Public Works Department has no objection to the vacation of this portion of Whitman Court provided that adequate easements are retained for underground utilities and storm drainage purposes . The proposed development of the properties northerly of the plat of Honeydew Estates into medium density apartment development would pro- vide an undesirable traffic circulation pattern through the quiet residential development in Honeydew Estates . This type of traffic pattern is not desirable and is detrimental to the residential character of the single family residence area. There will be certain potential problems to the City in the event this vacation is accomplished. There will be remaining a segment of Whitman Court N.E. which has been dedicated for public use for which there would be no public access. The properties presently owned by J .P. and K.D. Mueller would be deprived of public access and to the extent that this damages their properties , the City may be in a position of some lia- bility. Our investigation does reveal , however, that this property has a 30' ingress and egress easement northerly to Sunset Boulevard northerly from the easterly line of their property. In connection with the development of the properties northerly of Honeydew Estates in medium density multiple use, adequate circulation and access should be provided by the private developers . If this portion of Whitman Court is vacated, substantial redesign of the development plans will be necessary. If no other evidence is presented at the public hearing, the Public Works Department would be in a position to recommend vacation of this portion of Whitman Court subject to the satisfactory solution to the access and circulation problems and subject to the retention of adequate utility and drainage easements .

STREDICKE f Residence BA 6-3975 • Business: CH 2-0100 "i ATTENTION HONEY DEW RESIDENTS! You may recall that several weeks ago, I delivered a letter to your home, telling you about the zoning and proposed development immediately north of Honey Dew Estates. In that letter I. explained that the property was already zoned R-3 and apartments can be constructed by simple issuance of a building permit after the applicant has met all city codes and ordinances. There is no provision for public hearing. Since so many of you indicated a concern about the possibility of apartment traffic flowing through the single family development, I asked that the City Council iriitiate action for a vacation for the portion of Whitman Court N.E. north of N.E. 11th and south of the undevel- oped property (the short 100-foot of paved city street). At a meeting of the City Council's Transportation Committee, several residents did not understand the term "vacate". The city is considering returning to private ownership, that portion of roadway, which would prevent north-south traffic. The committee recommended: 1. That the council proceed to hold a public hearing to determine IF a vacation of the street should be granted. 2. That the public hearing be held on TUESDAY, OCT. 23, 1973 at 8:00 P.M. Technically, only the abutting property owners (3) need be notified. The city clerk sent out two dozen notices at the request of the Transportation Committee. But I know some of you may want to be there and did not receive the notice. That is the purpose of this letter. Whether you want the street closed (speak in favor of vacating street) or whether you want the street to remain open (speak in opposition to vacation), whether you are directly affected by the action or not, you are invited to attend and to express your opinion. Plans of the apartment complex, I understand, will be on display. Access points to the apartments, the number of apart- ments, the number of parking stalls required, will be discussed by the city staff at the beginning of the hearing. If you have any questions on this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at one of the above telephone numbers or the city plan- ning department at 235-2550. S incerel)y, t , Richard M. S tredicke THE RENTON CITY COUNCIL ii MUNICIPAL BUILDING • 200 MILL AVENUE SOUTH • RENTON,WASHINGTON 98055 • 235-2587 3 ` . COUNCILMAN RICHARD M. STREDICKE Residence BA 6-3975 • Business: CH 2-0100 Residents of Honey Dew Estates:. Mr. and Mrs. Ron Arnsberg, 4100 llth Ave. N. E. , have inquired about the apartment development on the property just north of Honey Dew Estates. Many of you will remember the several meetings when the Kalin Construction Company filed plans for apartments in the spring of 1971. Because the company sought to vacate Whitman Court N. E., north of Honey Dew, the city negotiated with Kalin to provide some protection to the residential neighborhood. They agreed to provide a fence the total length of the property adjoining Honey Dew, provide landscaping and a setback of 80 feet from their south property line for all buildings. In exchange the city agreed to vacate the street. However, no restrictive covenants were filed and the city refused then to vacate the street. It is still a dedicated public right- of-way. So, those of you who were here in 1971 know the present situation. The property is zoned to allow apartments. R-3 zoning allows buildings to three stories or OrlTerhigh. There is no way zoning can be taken away once it has been given without just compensation. I have checked with the City of Renton Building and Planning Departments and can tell you basically what the status is as of 12 noon, Tuesday, Sept. 4. Plans for apartments were filed and reviewed by both departments. The property is apparently under the ownership of Henry Muller and Gerald Schnieder. The latter is a registered contractor in this state. The plans were for 164 apartment units. The plans were for several "townhouse" type units, two stories high. The building and planning department asked the developer to make certain revisions to the plans. The developer chose to withdraw the plans to make the changes. During the discussions, the planning department reports, the matter of vacating Whitman Court N. E. was mentioned. The devel- oper might petition the city far vacation. As soon as new plans are submitted, I will contact the Arnsbergs so that you can be informed of plans. But again, let me remind you that the property is zoned. Apartments can be built without public hearing. As a resident of the area (Tacoma Avenue N—.".and Union Ave. N. E. ) I can fully appreciate your concern. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call me at one of the three above numbers. incer , offi�iLt�� (.11t2%c4r.C. lQ 1 Renton City Council Meeting Minutes October 1, 1973 Page 3 Community Service dealership real estate office of Ford who explained critical time Committee Report schedule for closing all transactions regarding property located at Continued Rainier Ave. S. and Grady Way.
