Re: Petition of Puget Properties, Inc. --
Vacation of streets.
Gentlemen:
Please be advised that this office represents Mr.
Charles Shane, a property owner in the City of Renton,
who wishes to make a formal objection to any vacation of
the streets and alleys in the area which has been requested
by Puget Properties , Inc.
' That this petition requests that 11 streets and
alleys be vacated and that the city will then be saddled
with the expense of building arterial highways to the
satisfaction and specifications of Puget Properties , Inc.
There is an additional objection that should be
made to , this proposal since it is not made according to
a comprehensive zoning plan for the City of Renton.
Without 'such a plan the city could very well be vacating
streets 'and alleys that they will later need to fulfill
a comprdhensive plan when and if it is adopted.
'This proposal also contemplates a taking of private
property for private use, in as much as the proposed plan
by Puget' Properties, Inc. would include a considerable
amount of private property which the city would have to take
and improve for the benefit of Puget Properties, Inc.
Would you please advise this office of all hearings
or any proceedings which will be taken on this matter prior -
{ •
•
to anyidecision being made by any municipal official or body?
This special notice is requested in order that we be advised
of any ',proceedings with reference to this tract of land that
is sought to be improved with public funds.

The Deputy City Clerk read the following three letters received from Puget
Properties, Inc:
(1) Letter from Project Engineer E. D. Greathouse, outlining basis for joint
participation of Puget Drive Program between Puget Properties, Inc. and the City of
Renton covering:
Section I. of Puget Drive, extending from Talbot Road to llth Avenue South to
Benson Road at approximately S.E. 156th Street.
a. Puget Properties in 1963 to deed the necessary right-of-way to Renton,
place approximately 115,000 cubic yards of roadway fill and install necessary drainage
to protect the fill, an estimated total of $54,000 in land value and construction
costs.
b. City of Renton will, in 1964, ballast and pave three traffic lanes with
necessary drainage facilities and pay incidental engineering and traffic device costs,
an estimated total of $35,600 plus related contingencies.
Section II. of Puget Drive, extending from Benson Road to North-South centerline
of Section 20:
a. Puget Properties in 1963 to deed necessary right-of-way to Renton, exca-
vate to grade using material to fill Section I, relocate gas mains and install the
necessary drainage to protect the work, an estimated total of $110,000 in land value
and construction cost.
b. City of Renton will accept responsibility for the balance of work neces-
sary to complete Section II. and will investigate all sources of income from benefitted
area. Puget Properties requests earliest possible consideration of Council on above
proposals.
Mr. Greathouse addressed Council at this point, advising that this proposal is
but a small portion of the overall work. The offer to the City is designed to take
advantage of the large contract Puget Properties has in the shopping center area, which
is the subject of three letters to be presented to Council, representing some 450,000
cubic yards of dirt -- roadway fill here only 100,000 cubic yards. Requested Council's
consideration of matter after these letters have been presented.
(2) Petition and application for vacation of the following described streets
and alleys (as illustrated on area map identified as Exhibit "A") noting Puget Proper-
ties, Inc. to be 100% owner of abutting properties:
1. That portion of 9th Avenue South between the East margin of 94th Avenue
South and West margin of 96th Avenue South.
2. That portion of South 148th Street (Memphis Avenue) between the West
margin of 94th Avenue South and the East property line of PSH No. 5-C.
3. That portion of 9th Place South between the East margin of 94th Avenue
South and the West margin of 96th Avenue South.
4. That portion of South 149th Street (Manning Avenue) between the West
margin of 94th Avenue South and the East property line of PSH No. 5-C.
5. That portion of 10th Avenue South North of the North line of PSH No. 1
and lying between 94th Avenue South and 96th Avenue South.
6. That portion of 911-th Avenue South between the North line of PSH No. 1
and the North margin of 9th Avenue South.
7. That portion of 96th Avenue South between the North line of PSH No. 1
and the South margin of Grady Way (South 147th Place) .
8. The sixteen-foot alley between the East margin of 911th Avenue South and
the West margin of 96th Avenue South in Block No. 12.
9. The sixteen-foot alley between the East margin of 94th Avenue South and
the West margin of 96th Avenue South in Block No. 11.
10. The sixteen-foot alley in Block No. 14 between the West margin of 94th
Avenue South and the East line of PSH No. 5-C.
11. The sixteen-foot alley in Block No. 15 between the West margin of 94th
Avenue South and the East line of PSH No. 5-C.
(3) Project Engineer Greathouse 's letter to City Engineer Wilson, advising that
studies for the sanitary trunking and interceptor systems for the areas known as Renton
Hill, Talbot Hill and East slopes of Talbot Hill, the topography of area, per Exhibit
"A", dictates need for three separate trunking systems to service entire drainage pattern
with the westerly boundary defined as the Renton to Kent Freeway, PSH No. 5; these three
separate trunking systems to flow to an interceptor sewer which will be the connection
to the existing Metro 108 inch trunk; temporary sewerage facilities will be required to
re-route the flow and allow City sufficient time to remove valuable pumping equipment.
Council approval requested on this portion of the Comprehensive Plan.
Upon inquiry regarding this Southeast Renton Sanitary Trunk Plan, City Engineer
Wilson produced, as a matter of record, supplemental letter received from Mr. Greathouse
for a proposal to re-install the existing sewage lift station near the North edge of
PSH-1 on Shattuck Street or to modify the temporary pump facilities to be constructed
to a permanent status in the event that Metro does not agree to construct the gravity
interceptor in accordance with its past policies. Approval of above to be made with the
-5-
8/5/63
understanding '
that Puget Properties will relocate and restore permanent type service, whether by
gravity trunk or pumping.
Upon request of Mayor Aliment, Utilities Supt. Andersen elaborated on proposal
informing Council that his discussion of matter with Puget Properties Engineers and
City Engineer Wilson produced only a possible question on the temporary line that would
be in use during their construction period. Puget Properties is assuming maintenance
of this line during construction period because it must be moved from time to time.
Temporary lift station will be City's responsibility; however on the temporary line our
responsibility will not exceed what we are now doing in maintaining present lift station.
Guarantee has been received from pump supplier that they will function properly for a
one-year period.
City Attorney Shellan informed Council of requirement for City Engineer Wilson
to certify Puget Properties as the recorded owner of property, Letter (2) above, setting
public hearing date on matter for not less than twenty days or more than sixty days
thereafter. Resolution must also be prepared to cover.
Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Custer, to set September 9, 1963, at 8:00 p.m.
in the Council Chambers, as the Public Hearing Date on the Puget Properties Street and
Alley Vacation request. Carried.
It was further moved by Trim, seconded by Custer, to refer the above two Puget
Properties package deals, of requested street and alley vacations, and the matter of
street construction and sewer project, to the Council As A Whole for consideration in \
meeting scheduled for Thursday, August 8th, at 8:00 P.M., Council Chambers. Carried.
A joint recommendation of the Engineering Department, Street Department, and th)
Street & Alley Committee was read, citing soil conditions encountered on 12th Avenue
North which make it impossible to control the width of trench with the rdsult of losing
more street than anticipated, and requesting that this work be deleted from the work
items to be performed by the Lundberg Construction Company, to be assigned instead to
the Street Department for required restoration work; further that the $3,500 contract
amount be transferred to the Street Fund to cover such costs.
Moved by Poli, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the recommendation above. Carried.
A letter-proposal from C. E. Leman, 519 ThirdAvenue, Seattle, for consideration
of a five-year contract with the City of Renton for authority to place and maintain
advertising signs, including parking regulations, in suitable metal folders affixed to
tops of parking, meters, for the consideration of 75$ per parking post, per month, for
all posts upon which such advertising signs and parking regulation signs are placed,
was read.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Delaurenti, to refer this proposal to the Council
As A Whole. Carried.
City Engineer Wilson reports that a check of County Records covering Petition
for a Sanitary Sewer L.T.D. on "M" Street, between Sunset Highway and 12th Avenue North
reveals Petition to have been signed by 70.9% of the owners of the abutting property
and 71.6% of the owners of the total area within the boundaries of the proposed district.
Assessed land valuation for purposes of taxation is $6,790.00 and the improvements are
assessed at $18,150.00; at twice the land assessments plus one-half the improvement
assessment. This establishes the limit for LID assessments at $22,655. There are no
outstanding assessments within the district; therefore there is sufficient valuation
to support a L.I.D.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Poli, that the City Engineer be authorized to com-
pile the preliminary assessment roll and submit such roll to Council upon completicn.
Question on the motion covering L.I.D. financing disclosed that the Firemen's Pension
Fund may be interested in purchasing the L.I.D. bonds; cost for which would be small,
somewhere in the neighborhood of $10,000 to $12,000. The motion carried.
The Deputy City Clerk advised Council of receipt of the Citizens ' Committee for
Better Government's request for consideration of an Open Housing Ordinance by the City
Council.
Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Hulse, to refer matter to the Council As A
Whole. Carried.
A notice from Fred Hanis, President of the City Employees Club, advising that
the Blue Cross Hospital Service Representative had met with the City Employees for the
purpose of presenting a proposed group coverage plan, was read. Mr. Hanis advised
that City Employees are not interested in the plan submitted.
An invitation extended to Mayor Aliment, Members of the City Council, City Attor-
ney, City Treasurer, and City Clerk to attend the City Employees' Picnic to be held at
Alexander's Beach on Lake Sammamish, Saturday, August 10th, was read.

The Deputy City Clerk read the following three letters received from Puget
Properties, Inc:
(1) Letter from Project Engineer E. D. Greathouse, outlining basis for joint
participation of Puget Drive Program between Puget Properties, Inc. and the City of
Renton covering:
Section I. of Puget Drive, extending from Talbot Road to llth Avenue South to
Benson Road at approximately S.E. 156th Street.
a. Puget Properties in 1963 to deed the necessary right-of-way to Renton,
place approximately 115,000 cubic yards of roadway fill and install necessary drainage
to protect the fill, an estimated total of $54,000 in land value and construction
costs.
b. City of Renton will, in 1964, ballast and pave three traffic lanes with
necessary drainage facilities and pay incidental engineering and traffic device costs,
an estimated total of $35,600 plus related contingencies.
Section II. of Puget Drive, extending from Benson Road to North-South centerline
of Section 20:
a. Puget Properties in 1963 to deed necessary right-of-way to Renton, exca-
vate to grade using material to fill Section I, relocate gas mains and install the
necessary drainage to protect the work, an estimated total of $110,000 in land value
and construction cost.
b. City of Renton will accept responsibility for the balance of work neces-
sary to complete Section II. and will investigate all sources of income from benefitted
area. Puget Properties requests earliest possible consideration of Council on above
proposals.
Mr. Greathouse addressed Council at this point, advising that this proposal is
but a small portion of the overall work. The offer to the City is designed to take
advantage of the large contract Puget Properties has in the shopping center area, which
is the subject of three letters to be presented to Council, representing some 450,000
cubic yards of dirt -- roadway fill here only 100,000 cubic yards. Requested Council's
consideration of matter after these letters have been presented.
(2) Petition and application for vacation of the following described streets
and alleys (as illustrated on area map identified as Exhibit "At') noting Puget Proper-
ties, Inc. to be 100jo owner of abutting properties:
1. That portion of 9th Avenue South between the East margin of 94th Avenue
South and West margin of 96th Avenue South.
2. That portion of South 148th Street (Memphis Avenue) between the West
margin of 94th Avenue South and the East property line of PSH No. 5-C.
3. That portion of 9th Place South between the East margin of 94th Avenue
South and the West margin of 96th Avenue South.
4. That portion of South 149th Street (Manning Avenue) between the West
margin of 94th Avenue South and the East property line of PSH No. 5-C.
5. That portion of 10th Avenue South North of the North line of PSH No. 1
and lying between 94th Avenue South and 96th Avenue South.
6. That portion of 94th Avenue South between the North line of PSH No. 1
and the North margin of 9th Avenue South.
7. That portion of 96th Avenue South between the North line of PSH No. 1
and the South margin of Grady Way (South 147th Place) .
8. The sixteen-foot alley between the East margin of 94th Avenue South and
the West margin of 96th Avenue South in Block No. 12.
9. The sixteen-foot alley between the East margin of 94th Avenue South and

(3) Project Engineer Greathouse 's letter to City Engineer Wilson, advising that
studies for the sanitary trunking and interceptor systems for the areas known as Renton
Hill, Talbot Hill and East slopes of Talbot Hill, the topography of area, per Exhibit
"A", dictates need for three separate trunking systems to service entire drainage pattern
with the westerly boundary defined as the Renton to Kent Freeway, PSH No. 5; these three
separate trunking systems to flow to an interceptor sewer which will be the connection
to the existing Metro 108 inch trunk; temporary sewerage facilities will be required to
re-route the flow and allow City sufficient time to remove valuable pumping equipment.
Council approval requested on this portion of the Comprehensive Plan.
Upon inquiry regarding this Southeast Renton Sanitary Trunk Plan, City Engineer
Wilson produced, as a matter of record, supplemental letter received from Mr. Greathouse
for a proposal to re-install the existing sewage lift station near the North edge of
PSH-1 on Shattuck Street or to modify the temporary pump facilities to be constructed
to a permanent status in the event that Metro does not agree to construct the gravity
interceptor in accordance with its past policies. Approval of above to be made with the
-5-
8/5/63
understanding •
that Puget Properties will relocate and restore permanent type service, whether by
gravity trunk or pumping.
Upon request of Mayor Aliment, Utilities Supt. Andersen elaborated on proposal
informing Council that his discussion of matter with Puget Properties Engineers and
City Engineer Wilson produced only a possible question on the temporary line that would
be in use during their construction period. Puget Properties is assuming maintenance
of this line during construction period because it must be moved from time to time.
Temporary lift station will be City's responsibility; however on the temporary line our
responsibility will not exceed what we are now doing in maintaining present lift station.
Guarantee has been received from pump supplier that they will function properly for a
one-year period.
City Attorney Shellan informed Council of requirement for City Engineer Wilson
to certify Puget Properties as the recorded owner of property, Letter (2) above, setting
public hearing date on matter for not less than twenty days or more than sixty days
thereafter. Resolution must also be prepared to cover.
Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Custer, to set September 9, 1963, at 8:00 p.m.
in the Council Chambers, as the Public Hearing Date on the Puget Properties Street and
Alley Vacation request. Carried.
It was further moved by Trim, seconded by Custer, to refer the above two Puget
Properties package deals, of requested street and alley vacations, and the matter of
street construction and sewer project, to the Council As A Whole for consideration in
meeting scheduled for Thursday, August 8th, at 8:00 P.M., Council Chambers. Carried.
A joint recommendation of the Engineering Department, Street Department, and th_e_j
Street & Alley Committee was read, citing soil conditions encountered on 12th Avenue
North which make it impossible to control the width of trench with the rdsult of losing
more street than anticipated, and requesting that this work be deleted from the work
items to be performed by the Lundberg Construction Company, to be assigned instead to
the Street Department for required restoration work; further that the $3,500 contract
amount be transferred to the Street Fund to cover such costs.
Moved by Poli, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the recommendation above. Carried.
A letter-proposal from C. E. Leman, 519 ThirdAvenue, Seattle, for consideration
of a five-year contract with the City of Renton for authority to place and maintain
advertising signs, including parking regulations, in suitable metal folders affixed to
tops of parking meters, for the consideration of 750 per parking post, per month, for
all posts upon which such advertising signs and parking regulation signs are placed,
was read.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Delaurenti, to refer this proposal to the Council
As A Whole. Carried.
City Engineer Wilson reports that a check of County Records covering Petition
for a Sanitary Sewer L.T.D. on "M" Street, between Sunset Highway and 12th Avenue North
reveals Petition to have been signed by 70.910 of the owners of the abutting property
and 71.6% of the owners of the total area within the boundaries of the proposed district.
Assessed land valuation for purposes of taxation is $6,790.00 and the improvements are
assessed at $18,150.00; at twice the land assessments plus one-half the improvement
assessment. This establishes the limit for LID assessments at $22,655. There are no
outstanding assessments within the district; therefore there is sufficient valuation
to support a L.I.D.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Poli, that the City Engineer be authorized to com-
pile the preliminary assessment roll and submit such roll to Council upon completicn.
Question on the motion covering L.I.D. financing disclosed that the Firemen's Pension
Fund may be interested in purchasing the L.I.D. bonds; cost for which would be small,
somewhere in the neighborhood of $10,000 to $12,000. The motion carried.
The Deputy City'Clerk advised Council of receipt of the Citizens ' Committee for
Better Government's request for consideration of an Open Housing Ordinance by the City
Council.
Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Hulse, to refer matter to the Council As A
Whole. Carried.
A notice from Fred Hanis, President of the City Employees Club, advising that
the Blue Cross Hospital Service Representative had met with the City Employees for the
purpose of presenting a proposed group coverage plan, was read. Mr. Hanis advised
that City Employees are not interested in the plan submitted.
An invitation extended to Mayor Aliment, Members of the City Council, City Attor-
ney, City Treasurer, and City Clerk to attend the City Employees ' Picnic to be held at
Alexander's Beach on Lake Sammamish, Saturday, August 10th, was read.

Attention Mr. Jack Wilson, City Engineer
Gentlemen:
We have been informed by Puget Properties, Inc. that they have petitioned
your City for the vacation of streets and alleys within their holdings in the
vicinity of 9th Avenue South and Shattuck Street.
This letter is to advise you that we have no objection to the petition
being granted, provided we are compensated for the cost to relocate our exist-
. ing 2" gas main that is located in the streets proposed to be vacated. The
cost of this relocation is estimated at $6,500. An alternate to relocation
would be that Puget Properties, Inc. grant us an easement so the main can remain
in its present location.
Sincerely,

The Deputy City Clerk read the following three letters received from Puget
Properties, Inc:
(1) Letter from Project Engineer E. D. Greathouse, outlining basis for joint
participation of Puget Drive Program between Puget Properties, Inc. and the City of
Renton covering:
Section I. of Puget Drive, extending from Talbot Road to llth Avenue South to
Benson Road at approximately S.E. 156th Street.
a. Puget Properties in 1963 to deed the necessary right-of-way to Renton,
place approximately 115,000 cubic yards of roadway fill and install necessary drainage
to protect the fill, an estimated total of $54,000 in land value and construction
costs.
b. City of Renton will, in 1964, ballast and pave three traffic lanes with
necessary drainage facilities and pay incidental engineering and traffic device costs,
an estimated total of $35,600 plus related contingencies.
Section II. of Puget Drive, extending from Benson Road to North-South centerline
of Section 20:
a. Puget Properties in 1963 to deed necessary right-of-way to Renton, exca-
vate to grade using material to fill Section I, relocate gas mains and install the
necessary drainage to protect the work, an estimated total of $110,000 in land value
and construction cost.
b. City of Renton will accept responsibility for the balance of work neces-
sary to complete Section II. and will investigate all sources of income from benefitted
area. Puget Properties requests earliest possible consideration of Council on above
proposals.
Mr. Greathouse addressed Council at this point, advising that this proposal is
but a small portion of the overall work. The offer to the City is designed to take
advantage of the large contract Puget Properties has in the shopping center area, which
is the subject of three letters to be presented to Council, representing some 450,000
cubic yards of dirt -- roadway fill here only 100,000 cubic yards. Requested Council's
consideration of matter after these letters have been presented.
(2) Petition and application for vacation of the following described streets
and alleys (as illustrated on area map identified as Exhibit "A19 noting Puget Proper-
ties, Inc. to be 100% owner of abutting properties:
1. That portion of 9th Avenue South between the East margin of 94th Avenue
South and West margin of 96th Avenue South.
2. That portion of South 148th Street (Memphis Avenue) between the West
margin of 94th Avenue South and the East property line of PSH No. 5-C.
3. That portion of 9th Place South between the East margin of 94th Avenue
South and the West margin of 96th Avenue South.
4. That portion of South 149th Street (Manning Avenue) between the West
margin of 94th Avenue South and the East property line of PSH No. 5-C.
5. That portion of 10th Avenue South North of the North line of PSH No. 1
and lying between 94th Avenue South and 96th Avenue South.
6. That portion of 94th Avenue South between the North line of PSH No. 1
and the North margin of 9th Avenue South.
7. That portion of 96th Avenue South between the North line of PSH No. 1
and the South margin of Grady Way (South 147th Place) .
8. The sixteen-foot alley between the East margin of 94th Avenue South and
the West margin of 96th Avenue South in Block No. 12.
9. The sixteen-foot alley between the East margin of 94th Avenue South and
the West margin of 96th Avenue South in Block No. 11.

Avenue South and the East line of PSH No. 5-C.
11. The sixteen-foot alley in Block No. 15 between the West margin of 94th
Avenue South and the East line of PSH No. 5-C.
(3) Project Engineer Greathouse 's letter to City Engineer Wilson, advising that
studies for the sanitary trunking and interceptor systems for the areas known as Renton
Hill, Talbot Hill and East slopes of Talbot Hill, the topography of area, per Exhibit
"A", dictates need for three separate trunking systems to service entire drainage pattern
with the westerly boundary defined as the Renton to Kent Freeway, PSH No. 5; these three
separate trunking systems to flow to an interceptor sewer which will be the connection
to the existing Metro 108 inch trunk; temporary sewerage facilities will be required to
re-route the flow and allow City sufficient time to remove valuable pumping equipment.
Council approval requested on this portion of the Comprehensive Plan.
Upon inquiry regarding this Southeast Renton Sanitary Trunk Plan, City Engineer
Wilson produced, as a matter of record, supplemental letter received from Mr. Greathouse
for a proposal to re-install the existing sewage lift station near the North edge of
PSH-1 on Shattuck Street or to modify the temporary pump facilities to be constructed
to a permanent status in the event that Metro does not agree to construct the gravity
interceptor in accordance with its past policies. Approval of above to be made with the
-5-
w..a _.
8/5/63
understanding
that Puget Properties will relocate and restore permanent type service, whether by
gravity trunk or pumping.
Upon request of Mayor Aliment, Utilities Supt. Andersen elaborated on proposal
informing Council that his discussion of matter with Puget Properties Engineers and
City Engineer Wilson produced only a possible question on the temporary line that would
be in use during their construction period. Puget Properties is assuming maintenance
of this line during construction period because it must be moved from time to time.
Temporary lift station will be City's responsibility; however on the temporary line our
responsibility will not exceed what we are now doing in maintaining present lift station.
Guarantee has been received from pump supplier that they will function properly for a
one-year period.
City Attorney Shellan informed Council of requirement for City Engineer Wilson
to certify Puget Properties as the recorded owner of property, Letter (2) above, setting
public hearing date on matter for not less than twenty days or more than sixty days
thereafter. Resolution must also be prepared to cover.
Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Custer, to set September 9, 1963, at 8:00 p.m.
in the Council Chambers, as the Public Hearing Date on the Puget Properties Street and
Alley Vacation request. Carried.
It was further moved by Trim, seconded by Custer, to refer the above two Puget
Properties package deals, of requested street and alley vacations, and the matter of
street construction and sewer project, to the Council As A Whole for consideration in
meeting scheduled for Thursday, August 8th, at 8:00 P.M. , Council Chambers. Carried.
A joint recommendation of the Engineering Department, Street Department, and the
Street & Alley Committee was read, citing soil conditions encountered on 12th Avenue
North which make it impossible to control the width of trench with the rdsult of losing
more street than anticipated, and requesting that this work be deleted from the work
items to be performed by the Lundberg Construction Company, to be assigned instead to
the Street Department for required restoration work; further that the $3,500 contract
amount be transferred to the Street Fund to cover such costs.
Moved by Poll, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the recommendation above. Carried.
A letter-proposal from C. E. Leman, 519 ThirdAvenue, Seattle, for consideration
of a five-year contract with the City of Renton for authority to place and maintain
advertising signs, including parking regulations, in suitable metal folders affixed to
tops of parking meters, for the consideration of 75¢ per parking post, per month, for
all posts upon which such advertising signs and parking regulation signs are placed,
was read.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Delaurenti, to refer this proposal to the Council
As A Whole. Carried.
City Engineer Wilson reports that a check of County Records covering Petition
for a Sanitary Sewer L.T.D. on "M" Street, between Sunset Highway and 12th Avenue North
reveals Petition to have been signed by 70.9% of the owners of the abutting property
and 71.6% of the owners of the total area within the boundaries of the proposed district.
Assessed land valuation for purposes of taxation is $6,790.00 and the improvements are
assessed at $18,150.00; at twice the land assessments plus one-half the improvement
assessment. This establishes the limit for LID assessments at $22,655. There are no
outstanding assessments within the district; therefore there is sufficient valuation
to support a L.I.D.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Poli, that the City Engineer be authorized to com-
pile the preliminary assessment roll and submit such roll to Council upon completion.
Question on the motion covering L.I.D. financing disclosed that the Firemen's Pension
Fund may be interested in purchasing the L.I.D. bonds; cost for which would be small,
somewhere in the neighborhood of $10,000 to $12,000. The motion carried.
The Deputy City Clerk advised Council of receipt of the Citizens ' Committee for
Better Government's request for consideration of an Open Housing Ordinance by the City
Council.
Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Hulse, to refer matter to the Council As A
Whole. Carried.
A notice from Fred Hanis, President of the City Employees Club, advising that
the Blue Cross Hospital Service Representative had met with the City Employees for the
purpose of presenting a proposed group coverage plan, was read. Mr. Hanis advised
that City Employees are not interested in the plan submitted.
An invitation extended to Mayor Aliment, Members of the City Council, City Attor-
ney, City Treasurer, and City Clerk to attend the City Employees ' Picnic to be held at
Alexander's Beach on Lake Sammamish, Saturday, August 10th, was read.

(3) Project Engineer Greathouse 's letter to City Engineer Wilson, advising that
studies for the sanitary trunking and interceptor systems for the areas known as Renton
Hill, Talbot Hill and East slopes of Talbot Hill, the topography of area, per Exhibit
"A", dictates need for three separate trunking systems to service entire drainage pattern
with the westerly boundary defined as the Renton to Kent Freeway, PSH No. 5; these three
separate trunking systems to flow to an interceptor sewer which will be the connection
to the existing Metro 108 inch trunk; temporary sewerage facilities will be required to
re-route the flow and allow City sufficient time to remove valuable pumping equipment.
Council approval requested on this portion of the Comprehensive Plan.
Upon inquiry regarding this Southeast Renton Sanitary Trunk Plan, City Engineer
Wilson produced, as a matter of record, supplemental letter received from Mr. Greathouse
for a proposal to re-install the existing sewage lift station near the North edge of
PSH-1 on Shattuck Street or to modify the temporary pump facilities to be constructed
to a permanent status in the event that Metro does not agree to construct the gravity
interceptor in accordance with its past policies. Approval of above to be made with the
-5-
understanding 8/5/63
that Puget Properties will relocate and restore permanent type service, whether by
gravity trunk or pumping.
Upon request of Mayor Aliment, Utilities Supt. Andersen elaborated on proposal
informing Council that his discussion of matter with Puget Properties Engineers and
City Engineer Wilson produced only a possible question on the temporary line that would
be in use during their construction period. Puget Properties is assuming maintenance
of this line during construction period because it must be moved from time to time.
Temporary lift station will be City's responsibility; however on the temporary line our
responsibility will not exceed what we are now doing in maintaining present lift station.
Guarantee has been received from pump supplier that they will function properly for a
one-year period.
City Attorney Shellan informed Council of requirement for City Engineer Wilson
to certify Puget Properties as the recorded owner of property,. Letter (2) above, setting
public hearing date on matter for not less than twenty days or more than sixty days
thereafter. Resolution must also be prepared to cover.
Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Custer, to set September 9, 1963, at 8:00 p.m.
in the Council Chambers, as the Public Hearing Date on the Puget Properties Street and
Alley Vacation request. Carried.
It was further moved by Trimm, seconded by Custer, to refer the above two Puget
Properties package deals, of requested street and alley vacations., and the matter of
street construction and sewer project, to the Council As A Whole for consideration in
meeting scheduled for Thursday, August 8th, at 8:00 P.M., Council Chambers. Carried.
A joint recommendation of the Engineering Department, Street Department, and the
Street & Alley Committee was read, citing soil conditions encountered on 12th Avenue
North which make it impossible to control the width of trench with the rdsult of losing
more street than anticipated, and requesting that this work be deleted from the work
items to be performed by the Lundberg Construction Company, to be assigned instead to
the Street Department for required restoration work; further that the $3,500 contract
amount be transferred to the Street Fund to cover such costs.
Moved by Poll, seconded by Bruce, to concur in the recommendation above. Carried.
A letter-proposal from C. E. Leman, 519 ThirdAvenue, Seattle, for consideration
of a five-year contract with the City of Renton for authority to place and maintain
advertising signs, including parking regulations, in suitable metal folders affixed to
tops of parking meters, for the consideration of 750 per parking post, per month, for
all posts upon which such advertising signs and parking regulation signs are placed,
was read.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Delaurenti, to refer this proposal to the Council
As A Whole. Carried.
City Engineer Wilson reports that a check of County Records covering Petition
for a Sanitary Sewer L.I.D. on "M" Street, between Sunset Highway and 12th Avenue North
reveals Petition to have been signed by 70.9% of the owners of the abutting property
and 71.6% of the owners of the total area within the boundaries of the proposed district.
Assessed land valuation for purposes of taxation is $6,790.00 and the improvements are
assessed at $18,150.00; at twice the land assessments plus one-half the improvement
assessment. This establishes the limit for LID assessments at $22,655. There are no
outstanding assessments within the district; therefore there is sufficient valuation
to support a L.I.D.
Moved by Custer, seconded by Poll, that the City Engineer be authorized to com-
pile the preliminary assessment roll and submit such roll to Council upon completicn.
Question on the motion covering L.I.D. financing disclosed that the Firemen's Pension
Fund may be interested in purchasing the L.I.D. bonds; cost for which would be small,
somewhere in the neighborhood of $10,000 to $12,000. The motion carried.
The Deputy City Clerk advised Council of receipt of the Citizens ' Committee for
Better Government's request for consideration of an Open Housing Ordinance by the City
Council.
Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Hulse, to refer matter to the Council As A
Whole. Carried.
A notice from Fred Hanis, President of the City Employees Club, advising that
the Blue Cross Hospital Service Representative had met with the City Employees for the
purpose of presenting a proposed group coverage plan, was read. Mr. Hanis advised
that City Employees are not interested in the plan submitted.
An invitation extended to Mayor Aliment, Members of the City Council, City Attor-
ney, City Treasurer, and City Clerk to attend the City Employees ' Picnic to be held at
Alexander's Beach on Lake Sammamish, Saturday, August 10th, was read.

Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 6-3-63
COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS:
OLD BUSINESS:
Councilman Reid submitted the report of the Council As A Whole Committee which
was read by the Clerk with Council actions taken as follows:
1. The matter of Encroachment by Mr. Charles Shane's building on a 10 foot strip of
property not zoned B-1 was considered and in view of the fact that the following con-
ditions have changed since the rezoning, (a) withdrawal of Edwards Deed, (b) information
of additional right of. way deeded to the City, it was recommended that a Variance be
granted for the building as started, but that until the street pattern is fully established
the zoning should remain as is, it being possible to effect a desirable street arrangement
without disturbing the proposed building.
Inquiry was made as to whether Mr. Shane was agreeable to the proposed arrangement
and inasmuch as Mr. Dobson, counsel for Mr. Shane had left the Council Chamber, farther
action on the matter was deferred until later in the meeting.
2. Relative to the referral of the Sanitation Committee report to transfer only the
Billing operation from the Utilities Department unto the City Treasurer's office, it was
recommended by the Council As A Whole to concur in this transfer of Billing only at this
time.
Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the recommendation of the Council
As A Whole. Carried. Moved by Trim, seconded by Delaurenti, to refer the matter to the
Ordinance Committee. Carried.
Mr. Dobson had returned to the Council Chamber and upon inquiry advised he had made
a request that Mr. Shane be present to determine whether or not he was willing to accept
the condition proposed for leaving the 10 ft. strip under "G" zoning. Mr. Shane would
be present later in the meeting but inasmuch as it was not known whether he would arrive
prior to adjournment of the meeting, it was moved by Dullahant, seconded by Bruce, to
defer action on the matter until the next meeting of the Council. Carried.
Councilman Reid, Chairman of the Street and Alley Committee, presented his Committee
report which was read as follows:
1. Petition for Vacation of a 16 ft. alleyway in Block 18, Renton Highlands was
considered. The Petition contained fourteen signatures of residents on "G" Place and
abutting the alleyway. Inasmuch as this is an undeveloped alley having doubtful value
insofar as the public is concerned, it was recommended that a Public Hearing be held on
the matter.
Moved by Dullahant, seconded by Delaurenti, to co cur` in the recommendation of the
Street and Alley Committee with referral to the Ordinance Committee fora Resolution
setting the Date of July 8, 1963 for the Hearing. Carried.
2. Request for painted Cross-walk at 6th Avenue North and Garden Street access to
Pacific Car & Foundry parking lot was considered and it was recommended that the Street
Department paint the cross-walk area on the north side of the intersection of said streets.
Moved by Bruce, seconded by Delaurenti, to concur in the recommendation of the Street
and Alley Committee. Carried.
3. Request for Temporary Permit forAngle Parking on the North side of 4th Place between
Shattuck Street and Rainier Avenue was considered and it was the recommendation that a
Revocable Permit be granted to Dr. R. J. Evoy for development of angle parking as requested
subject to the understanding that the Permittees will bear all costs involved and that
approval of the plans be secured from the City Engineer and Street Commissioner prior to
commencement of the construction.
Moved by Dullahant, seconded by Dahlquist, to concur in the recommendation of the
Street and alley Committee. Carried.
4. Request from Mr. Nathan E. Ward for acquisition of public use area - Since the
property in question provides the only access to a large public use area to the South in
the same block, no disposition could be made without considering all of the public use
area within Block 26 of the Corrected Plat of Renton Highlands. Even in the event the City
were to receive petition from all of the abutting property owners, it is questionable
whether the City would have the authority to vacate this Public Use Area, inasmuch as such
area°was established by the Federal Government.
Moved by Garrett, seconded by Dahlquist, to concur in the report of the Street and
1, Alley Committee. Carried.
Upon investigation of a complaint concerning use of property on Burnett Street in
the vicinity of the Carpenter's Hall, the Committee reported no determination could be
made inasmuch as the nature of the complaint was not detailed. Councilman Bruce reported
receiving the complaint from Mr. Wm. Rusden and it was in regard to his driveway not having
been restored in good condition subsequent to the sewer line installation by Metro. Moved
by Delaurenti, seconded by Bruce, to refer the matter to the Street and Alley Committee.
Carried.

1/ 2819 7th Avenue North
Renton, Washington
May 23, 1963
Honorable Walter Reid
President, Board of Councilmen of Renton
Renton, Washington
Dear Mr. Reid:
I am interested in obtaining title to, or use of, an unused public
access area which adjoins my property in Renton Highlands. The
property concerned is that part of Block 26 Corrected Plat Renton
Highlands #2 which adjoins lot 2819 7th Avenue North, Renton, Wash-
ington.
This property is supposed to be a public access but is unused and
is an eye-sore in its present state because the City nor anyone
else does anything with it, except for some cleaning which I have
done myself. About 150 feet south of 7th Avenue North the access
has been effectively closed by the construction of a boat house
and tool shed which was constructed about 14 years ago by the
people living in one of the war surplus houses.
Those City Officials to whom I have talked gree that anything
that I, or anyone else, would do with the property would be an
improvement beneficial to all concerned. I, therefore, request
authorization to purchase the property at a reasonable price,
obtain a long term use permit, or have the property divided evenly
between property owners on each side of the access and deeded to
them free of charge by the city@ My preference is in the order
stated.
I would appreciate having this brought before the City Council
at its next regular meeting.
Sincerely yours,
Nathan E. Ward
