Renton City Council Minutes of 6/6/74 - Page 2 PUBLIC HEARING (Continued) Sign Design The Ad Hoc Committee recommended that the Sign Design Review Board Review Board be made up of an architect, landscape architect, urban planner, another from a design-related profession, three laymen, one from the Central Business District and two from other business or shopping centers. They would meet at least once a ,month to review all applica- tions for recommended quality of design, square footage; artistic value, lighting, etc. The Legislation Committee recommended review by a Sign Design Review Board consisting of City staff members; Public Works Department Design Division Supervisor, Building Division Plan Examiner, Legislative Assistant to the Council , and the Landscape Planner. There was some discussion of the delays that might bu caused by a Board meeting once a month, or even twice a month, and the availability of City Staff members every day. AUDIENCE Mr. William J. Fritz, 216 First Ave. S. , Seattle, representing the COMMENT Business Advertising Council of Washington, spoke on how important it was to make definitions very clear and succinct, as legal questions may arise. They would like to recommend the addition of one facet added to Section 4-1901-2 - Purpose - to provide visual identifica- tion for business. Mention was also made of the definition of Sec- tion 4-1902-19, Off-Premise Signs , of signs that were leased and not owned by business, just compensation for property that still had monetary value after the amortization period. Also, that it might be discriminatory to exempt theatres and auto dealers from certain provisions and to allow big business with expensive signs to amortize over a long period, while small businesses with signs valued at $500 or less would only have five years to amortize their investment and the amortization schedule' should date from the effec- tive date of the ordinance, and not the installation date. Councilman Delaurenti asked Mr. Fritz asked if they could get his comments in writing for the Legislation Committee and Mr. Fritz agreed that he would give the report to the Committee. Mr. Roger Rutan, 1015 Eastlake Ave. E. , Seattle, representing Obie-Pacific Outdoor Advertising and Foster and Kleiser, spoke on Section 4-1918-3.F. Off-Premise Signs, indicating that they should be allowed to be double-faced. Ms. Vera Peat, 110 Rainier Ave. S. , West Wind Motel operator, expressed her views to coincide with the Ad Hoc Committee, and that business men and women should be allowed to participate in the Sign Design Review Board. Mr. Mike Lotto, 7812 So. Sunnycrest Road, representing the Greater Renton Highlands Shopping Center, questioned Section 4-1908-3, A - Projection of roof signs, asking effect on sign at A & H Drugs in the Shopping Center, also questioning the signs for the Mayfair Market. Mr. John L. Powers, Seattle Lumber Co. , remarked that he was in favor of relying on the City Staff as a Sign Design Review Board. Mr. Robert Hendrickson, 11541 76th Ave. S. , of A & H Drugs, inquired if the sign on his store in the Highlands Shopping Center was legal . Mr. Hansen replied that under the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendation, it would not be allowed to erect a new roof sign, but the sign would fall under the amortization schedule, giving you up to 18 years, or applying for variance to keep the sign longer. Councilman Stredicke reported that under the Legislation Committee's recommendation, the sign would be a complying sign. If there was still some value in the sign after the amortization period, you could get variance for another five years, and that could also be extended. Mr. Fritz remarked that advertising value cannot be compensated for under an amortization schedule. Renton City Council Minutes 'le 6/6/74 - Page 3 PUBLIC HEARING (Continued) AUDIENCE Mr. Dan Van Eaton, 2152 N. E. 78th, representing the Renton Village COMMENT Co. , questioned the double face or single face. Shopping Center businesses were all removed from the road and the businesses depending on the sign at the entrance for advertising their businesses. Double faced sign would be limited to 150 square feet per side. Councilman Stredicke said that both the Renton Village Shopping Center and the Highlands Shopping Center, that were represented tonight, were under one ownership, but what about the businesses on the other side of Sunset Blvd. , all under different owners, and how could they insure equal treatment. Mr. Lotto remarked that the Shopping Center only owned one big sign, but that the super-market there should be allowed a reader board. Councilman Grant stated that was exactly what the Ad Hoc Committee recommended for a Sign Design Review Board, with business men participating so that each individual sign could be reviewed as to its economic importance. Correspondence The City Clerk read letter from a member of the Ad Hoc Committee, Mr. Milton Cable, of White House Realty, to the effect that he felt the community would be best served with a Sign Design Review Board made up of cross-section of the membership, as recommended by the Ad Hoc Committee. A letter from Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kinney, 3613 N.E. 12th St. , was also read, stating they opposed any extension of the ordinance on sign control . The Clerk read a letter from Mr. William K. Longwell , Jr. , 402 Index Place N.E. , expressing his approval of the new city Sign Code ordinance. Councilman Grant remarked there were about 400 non-conforming signs in the City, and that they were trying to beautify the city, but that there must also be consideration of the economics involved. Mr. Fritz stated if it was the Council 's desire to take the recommendation of the Ad Hoc Committee for the Sign Design Review Board, that he would recommend that they add a fourth lay member who has advertising exper- ' ience. Mr. Rudy Nicolich, 19845 East Valley Highway, Kent, commented that he operates an ARCO station at that location, and had a sign con- structed advertising his automatic transmission repair service, which cost him $1 ,800. Has been thinking of moving his business to Renton, to a location on Rainier Ave. S. , but that under the pro- visions of the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendation, the sign would not be legal . City Attorney Shellan gave his opinion that Section 4-1901-3, D. Alternate Provisions - gives pretty much discretion to approve signs, which might apply for small businesses, and unless the Sign Board should reject it within thirty days, it could be handled by a Building Official . Councilman Stredicke brought up the letter from Sound Ford regarding banners and streamers. Considerable discussion ensued regarding Section 4-1914-1 ,D, Prohibited Signs and Devices, which prohibits pennants, banners, streamers, etc. It was pointed out that used car businesses had pleaded that these were necessary, and that they would be changed frequently. Mr. Ralph Osgood, 1307 N. 28th St. , representing Renton Village Cinema I and II, stated that the reader board along FAI 405 was a public service and very necessary to the business.

NEW BUSINESS Councilman Delaurenti reported receipt of a letter from Stephen Joubert, 1035 Lynnwood Ave. N.E. , complaining of the City ordinance governing the type of gas containers that could be filled, and had discussed the matter with the Acting Fire Chief, and suggested that the Fire Prevention Officer contact the gentleman and explain that this is the Federal and State Code, and the City adopted the ordinance to conform. Citizen Councilman Stredicke inquired of Public Works Director Gonnason if Complaint he had any report on the horse tied up in a residential district that Mr. George R.

Stredicke, Chairman Legislative Committee Renton City Council Renton, Washington 98055 Dear Mr. Stredicke, In :reviewing the city sign code and in discussions of changes being proposed, I would like to make the following recommendations for your committee to consider. • Section 4-1914 prohibits certain signs and devices including strings of :pennants, banners or streamers. Traditionally, used car sales in auto dealers and independent used car dealers have depended on banners • for identification. I understand the reason this section was added to prohibit banners and would suggest the' following change to Sec. 4-1914D. Strings of pennants, banners or streamers, festoons of light clusters of flags, wind-animated objects, balloons, and similar devices of a carnival nature except as specifically provided in Sections 4-1915 and 4-1916 of this Code. Not prohibited are national, state and institutional flags properly displayed or temporary signs and decorations customary for special • holidays, such as Independence 3My, Christmas and similar events of a public . mature. Portable signs or any sign which.is not permanently mounted. • Exceptions to 4-1914D may be banners or streamers purchased on annual basis by 'purchasing a $5 annual permit. This permit can'be cancelled by the City of :Renton on 3O 'day notice if the permit holder does not properly maintain said devices and keep them in a good state of repair. I hope that the committee will give serious consideration to this and I would be happy to meet with proper committee to discuss this further. leOra =rie , esident Sound Ford September 3, 1973 5/6 , / C®sf(,--0 /526i William J. Grant City Councilman Municipal Building Renton, WA 98055 Dear Councilman Grant: We would like to go on record as opposing any further extension of the ordinance dealing with sign control. In fact, we were disappointed that any extension was granted at all. You know as well as we do that all ordinances and public hearings are published as legal notices in the local press. The fact "that no one had ever told the businesses of the violations" does not excuse them from compliance with the law. It is naive to say that those affected by the law were not fully aware of its implications when the law was first passed five years ago. We find it difficult to sympathize with the "400 or so violators." Ignorance of the law has never been a valid excuse whether the violator is a citizen or a business. As long time residence of Renton we are concerned about our city. Unfortunatelyr, Renton looks like a rest stop off of I-405. Signs importune the citizen to eat, sleep, buy, drink, and get gassed. We remember the difficulty the Planning Department had in getting nominations for an award to that building which most added to Renton's beauty. Outside of the Carco Theatre and the Library what is there of beauty? The local motel or pizza joint? We vacationed at Carmel-By-The-Sea and didn't miss the garish signs flashing the virtues of this beanery over the one down the street. We applaude the strict Bellevue law and feel Renton could benefit by such a "drastic step". Although the present ordinance isn't as strict it is a positive step. But it is in danger of a fatal stumble if the violators get their way. Aesthetics can be compatible with economics. Since we both work we find the Thursday 9 a.m. committee meetings on sign ordinance inconvenient. We appreciate your effort to seek more input. We hope that those who feel the way we do will make their opinions known to you and your ad hoc committee and that our opinions will assist in bringing about strict enforcement of the sign ordinance. r / -77/ S ncerely yours, i Sh rlee A. Kinn \ 402 Index Place NE ... Renton, Washington 98055. September 12, 1973. The Honorable William Grant Chairman, Renton City Council ad hoc Committee Dear Mr. Grants I have been a Renton resident since 1946. I. 'wish to make a statement concerning the sign code ordinance. I certainly do. approve of the new city sign.code ordinance which is to go into effect September 26, 1973. I believe it should be strongly implemented. I frankly believe the ,Renton central business area is dying. To me this central business core ahsalways been one of the ugliest business districts I have ever seen. Indicative of a dying business district is its negative approach to the city's .sign. code ordinance, :its"desire not to. help pay for underground wiring, its lukewarm approval of the so-called city beautification in the central area and its continuing negative approach to the Renton School District. All of these, especially the latter, seem to me to be selfish, shortsighted and represen- tative of a death gasp All these signs are certainly not beautiful, but generally gaudy and remind me of Seattle's Aurora Avenue. I would much rather do my shopping in peripheral shopping centers. Yes, again, I support the Renton sign code ordinance, Thank you very much for your support of environmental issues. 1aU " erely, , 4 William X.

Grant Chairman, Ad Hoc Committee on Signs Dear Mr. Grant: We appreciated the opportunity to discuss with you the proposed revisions of the existing Renton sign code. A few months ago, Mr. Dave Irish of our company, appeared at one of the meetings of the Ad Hoc Committee to discuss changes in Section 4-1918, sub-section 3F dealing with off-premise signs. The present code states in part: "Three (3) off-premise sign structures with either a single face or with back-to-back faces shall be permitted within six hundred sixty (660) lineal feet along a public right-of-way, pro- vided. that no off-premise sign structure is located closer than one hundred fifty (150) feet to any off-premise sign structure." NEW YORK•LOS ANGELES•CHICAGO•SAN FRANCISCO.OAKLAND•SAN JOSE•SACRAMENTO•CLEVELAND•CINCINNATI•SEATTLE•PORTLAND•TACOMA•SAN DIEGO•SAN BERNARDINO•HOUSTON•DALLAS•FORT WORTH Renton City Council -2- May 30, 1974 The proposed changes submitted by the Ad Hoc Committee on this same point read as follows : "Three (3) off-premise sign faces not to exceed three hundred (300) square feet each shall be permitted within six hundred sixty (660) lineal feet along a public right-of-way, provided that no off- premise sign structure is located- closer than one hundred fifty feet (150' ) to any other off-premise sign structure." As a result of Mr. Irish' s discussion with the Ad Hoc Committee it was agreed without opposition that the original wording would be reinstated. Apparently, through a clerical error this language has not been replaced even though it has been clearly marked on a copy we reviewed as. something that was to be altered. This action is in line with the suggestions of the second Ad Hoc Committee' s pro- posal which states : "Three (3) off-premise sign structures not to exceed three hundred (300) square feet each shall be permitted within six hundred sixty (660) lineal feet along a public right-of-way, provided that no off-premise sign structure is located closer than one hundred fifty feet (150') to any other off- premise sign structure. This recommendation is obviously not in conflict with the original language but through the omission of the words "with either a single face or back-to-back faces," it lacks the clarity of the original and existing Renton code which is of course the reason this particular lan- guage was inserted. The substitution of the words "not to exceed 300 square feet each, would appear to be an unnecessary repetition as the 300 feet limitation is referred to twice previously in the same section. Renton City Council -3- May 30, 1974 As you know the present section dealing with off-premise signs is developed as a result of several months of public hearings and discussions and was so highly regarded that the Renton code became the model for the 1971 Washington State Scenic Vistas Act which varies only slightly from the Renton code in that it permits four sign structures (single face or back-to-back faces) within any 660 feet. The Renton code is, therefore, somewhat more restrictive than the State law and should present no problems of enforcement as any sign which complies with the existing Renton code will obviously not be in conflict with the State Act. We therefore would like to remind you of the discussion by the Ad Hoc Committee of a few months ago and its ex- pressed intent to retain the language of the existing . code in this regard, and respectfully request that such a change be made. Prior commitments make it impossible for either Mr. Irish or myself to be in attendance at this evening's meeting; however, Mr. Roger Rutan, local manager for Obie Outdoor Advertising has indicated that he will be present in the event that the members wish to ask for any further infor- mation.
