AUDIENCE COMMENT Jane Hower, 1425 S. Puget Dr. #118, Renton, 98055, spoke on the issue of the
Citizen Comment: Hower - City recognition of the Matricula Consular as legal identification for Mexican
Matricula Consular as Legal citizens living in the United States, expressing concern about the security of the
Identification for Mexican country and the safety of its citizens. She described how the issue was
Citizens Living in US originally brought forward to the Council, and she detailed the various ways
people enter the United States and how they are screened. Ms. Hower relayed
that she spoke with three legal immigrants, and they indicated that with their
green cards, they had no difficulty obtaining any needed services. Therefore,
she claimed that the Matricula Consular identification is only of use to illegal
aliens.
Continuing, Ms. Hower pointed out that only 1,000 of the 19,000 law
enforcement agencies throughout the country recognize this identification card.
She also made reference to a congressional statement by a member of the FBI
stating that this is not a reliable form of identification. Ms. Hower asked
Council to review its decision approving recognition of this type of
identification card.
Mayor Tanner stated that he brought the issue of the Matricula Consular
identification card to Council on behalf of the Administration with the support
of the Renton Police Chief. He confirmed that he and the Police Chief still
approve the use of the card.
Councilman Clawson displayed pages from Internet anti -immigrant websites,
and expressed concern regarding the anti -immigrant movement. He stated that
Council cannot enforce Federal immigration law, and cannot tell a bank to
accept this identification card. Mr. Clawson emphasized that the Matricula
Consular is a form of identification for Mexican citizens and does not establish
immigration status.
In response to Councilman Parker's inquiry regarding the specific reason she is
against the use of this card, Ms. Hower stated that it makes it easier for illegal
immigrants to get services that taxpayers pay for, and may help people who
have reason to not enter the United States legally.
Police Chief Garry Anderson listed some of the common uses for the Matricula
Consular identification card as follows: it allows Mexican nationals to reenter
Mexico; it is accepted by many banks; it is used by law enforcement agencies
for identification purposes; and it can be used to obtain IRS taxpayer
identification numbers, marriage licenses, and birth certificates. He confirmed
that more than 1,000 police agencies of the 18,000 agencies nationwide accept
this identification, noting that its use started this year. Chief Anderson stated
that he is not aware of any FBI agency mandate denouncing this card.
Continuing, Chief Anderson confirmed that the identification card does not
give the bearer immigration status or benefit, and he also listed services that
bearers of the cards are not entitled to including social security numbers and
work permits. He emphasized that the Matricula Consular identification card is
a valuable law enforcement tool.
Citizen Comment: Guthrie -
Reid Guthrie, 809 High Ave. S. Renton, 98055, stated that the decision to
Matricula Consular as Legal
accept the Matricula Consular as identification sets a dangerous precedent.
Identification for Mexican
Regardless of where this particular identification card originates, he indicated
Citizens Living in US
that numerous countries would also like to have a card like this, and the United
States is counting on another country to verify the integrity of the identification
August 11, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 282
card. Mr. Guthrie explained that acceptance of this card as identification opens
the door for the future acceptance of identification cards of a much more
dubious nature.
Councilwoman Nelson stated that it is unfortunate that this issue coincides with
the recognition of Jalisco Week. Expressing her support for the identification
card, she pointed out that the card is only for identification purposes and it
benefits both Mexican citizens living in the United States, and those who need
to identify the Mexican citizens.
Citizen Comment: Palmer -
Marcie Palmer, 2507 Park Pl. N., Renton, 98056, spoke on behalf of the
Kennydale Neighborhood
Kennydale Neighborhood Association, and announced upcoming special events
Association

CORRESPONDENCE
98056, who expressed her support and concern for Jane Hower, who spoke at
Citizen Comment: Culley -
last week's Council meeting regarding the City's recognition of the Matricula
Matricula Consular as Legal
Consular as legal identification for Mexican Citizens. Additionally, she stated
Identification for Mexican
that those who do not have the legal right to be here should be deported, and
Citizens Living in US
that she supports the issuance of a national identification card for all American

Citizen Comment: Priestley -
Correspondence addressed to Mayor Tanner was read from Gregory V.
Nepotism Policy (City of
Priestley, 4621 NE 21st Pl., Renton, 98059, pointing out that one of the
Renton)
candidates running for the office of Mayor is married to the current Renton Fire
Chief, and he inquired as to whether the City of Renton has a nepotism policy.
Mayor Tanner's response to Mr. Priestley's letter was also read confirming that
the City does have a nepotism policy (#300-09; effective 11/01/1982) that
prohibits the employment of a husband and wife under certain conditions, and
would prevent the employment of a spouse of a Mayor, or any relative of the
Mayor, by the City of Renton during the tenure of that Mayor.
Councilman Clawson inquired as to the purpose of bringing this issue before
the Council, and why a letter addressed to the Administration was read into the
record. Mayor Tanner responded that the purpose is to raise the issue and bring
it out in the open.
Councilman Clawson expressed his concern that this is not the proper forum to
hold discussions regarding election issues; however, he agreed that the issue
needs to be brought up.
Council President Keolker-Wheeler detailed the reasons why she decided to
run for Mayor pointing out that she has to give up her Council seat to do so.
She reported that there are multiple legal opinions from the Attorney General's
office and from the City's legal staff that date back to before she was married to
Fire Chief Lee Wheeler, which state that it is acceptable for her to be a
Councilmember, Council President, or Mayor Pro Tem. In addition to those
opinions, Ms. Keolker-Wheeler explained that she asked someone from a
different legislative district to write a letter on her behalf to the Attorney
General requesting an opinion specific to her situation.
Ms. Keolker-Wheeler pointed out that she and Fire Chief Wheeler have served
the City of Renton for over 20 years and met while serving the City. She
indicated that her decision to run for Mayor was based on obtaining a
satisfactory opinion from the Attorney General, and obtaining support from the
City's employee unions. Ms. Keolker-Wheeler read the question that was
submitted to the Attorney General's office for opinion as follows: "If an
individual is elected Mayor of a City when the individual spouse is already
serving as the City's Fire Chief, is there any statute or principle of law that
would make it unlawful for them to simultaneously serve in these two offices?"
Continuing, Council President Keolker-Wheeler read the Attorney General's
opinion, dated November 8, 2002, as follows: "There is no Washington Statute
or recognized common law principle that makes it unlawful for an individual to
serve as a City Mayor while the individual's spouse is serving as Fire Chief of
the same City." She indicated that the Attorney General's opinion also cited
various Attorney General opinions pertaining to this situation. She also
indicated that she included a copy of the City's nepotism policy in the request
for this opinion.
August 11, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 284
Ms. Keolker-Wheeler noted that changes have been made to the nepotism
policy since it became effective in 1982, although it still bears Mayor
Shinpoch's signature who was Mayor at that time. In conclusion she spoke of
the relationship between the Mayor and the Fire Chief, pointing out the
following: the Fire Chief cannot be promoted as he is at the top of his
department; the Fire Chiefs salary is voted on by the Council; and the Fire
Chief is a civil service employee and cannot be dismissed by the Mayor except
for cause and if dismissed, he can appeal the dismissal to the Civil Service
Commission. She emphasized that Fire Chief Wheeler's and her professional
lives in no way interfere with the work that they do for the City, and will not in
the future.
Mayor Tanner indicated that many of the City's policies were altered to bring
the references cited in the policies up-to-date. He stressed that the language in
the policies was not changed, only the references, and that State law language
in the nepotism policy is identical to that in 1982. Emphasizing that he is not
trying to subvert Ms. Keolker-Wheeler's campaign and he does not want the
Fire Chief to resign, Mayor Tanner stated that if she is elected by the citizens of
this City with this information in front of them, then they will have made the
choice knowingly.
OLD BUSINESS
Council President Keolker-Wheeler stated that she attended an event
AJLS: Sister City Nishiwaki,
celebrating the sister -state relationship between Washington and the Hyoga
Hyoga Prefecture
Prefecture, Japan (Renton's sister -city relationship with Nishiwaki is one of 12
relationships within the State), and presented Mayor Tanner with a pin from the
Hyoga Prefecture.

Re: Protest and Request for Appeal Hearing for Sanitary Sewer Assessment
per Special Assessment District No. 0024
Dear Council Member,
CITY OF REITIN
AUG 0 4 2003
RECEIVED
CITY CLERK'$ OFFICE
la: a5 Pm
NM
We received a Final Notice of Potential Assessment for the City of Renton East Kennydale Sanitary Sewer
Infill Phase I project early the week of July 27, 2003. This letter is provided as specified by that Notice to
protest and request an appeal hearing as necessary for the assessment of our property located at 2509 Dayton
Avenue NE. Specifically, our protest is based on the grounds of (1) costs distribution methodology applied
and (2) the issue of benefit to the property.
The specifics of our grounds for protest, and the inequity of the assessment to our property, has been
provided previously both in discussion and in writing to City of Renton staff. A copy of the last letter
provided to the City via Mr. John Hobson is enclosed with this correspondence for reference. That
December 22, 2002 letter clearly describes the cause and justification for reassessing our property (as well as
other daylight rambler homes on Dayton Avenue). It also suggests a resolution to the sewer service and
assessment issue by providing for sanitary connection with the proposed plat on an adjacent property.
In short, though, our property requires special equipment (grinder pump with long-term maintenance) and
additional labor costs to install a side sewer service and connection to the sewer as built at Dayton Avenue.
These added costs to connect are a direct result of the sanitary sewer main in Dayton Avenue not being
installed to a depth adequate to serve the lower level of our home by a gravity system. The current "fair
share" calculation of total cost divided by number of units in the basin for assessment is not equitable in this
respect and does not consider the added cost of installing and maintaining a pump system. As it stands, also,
the sewer main currently installed along our Dayton Avenue frontage appears to limit the opportunities for us
to sell our property until such time as the sewer is connected — regardless of the condition and operability of
the current septic system (which is in excellent condition). .
Therefore, we are requesting that the current assessment be adjusted to consider the additional costs of
connection related to our specific condition and/or make other equitable provisions for sewer service to our
property. We appreciate your assistance and look forward to resolution of this issue. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Construction of the project adjacent to the Parkview project has begun. As such, time appears to be of the
essence in resolution of this issue. I appreciate your assistance and look forward to your prompt response.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION: 5 GATTEN J R ADD A REPLAT OF TR 218
On March 12,. 2002, I, Bonnie I. Walton, the City Clerk of Renton, Washington, mailed you a notice
of potential assessment for sanitary sewer improvements associated with the East Kennydale Sanitary
Sewer Infill Phase I Project. We have now completed construction of these sewer facilities. The
facilities, as shown on the attached map, are eligible for cost recovery under City Special Assessment
District Ordinance No. 4444.
For those properties that could receive benefit directly by the sewers, future use would trigger
payment of a 'fair share cost of the sewer. This assessment is calculated, as a unit charge, by dividing
the cost of the conveyance portion of the sewer by the number of units projected for the basin served
by this main. This rate has been established at $6,122.35 per unit.
The purpose of the assessment district is to allow the City the ability to collect the costs of the
construction of the sewer facilities from all those who benefit from its construction. To accomplish
this, we are required to record an ordinance which will serve as a notice of potential assessment. This
ordinance will establish a boundary that includes any parcel that may benefit in the future. It is our
goal to ensure, in fairness to all, that any property owner that connects at a later date pays their share
just like those who will connect right away. The benefit area is defined as the ultimate service area
that the facility may be able to serve. This boundary is shown on the attached map.
You will only be required to pay this assessment when the property gains benefit from these
sewer facilities. Until that time, the property can be sold or change hands without triggering ..
the assessment. Benefit from these sewer facilities can be described as follows:
A property not currently connected to a City sewer facility (i.e., currently utilizing an on -site
system or a vacant parcel), that connects to the sewer system associated with this district will
trigger the assessment. Until then, the assessment will not be triggered.
• For those properties that are already connected to City sewer, this assessment will only be
triggered if the property increases its density either by change of use (i.e., single family to multi-
family) or through increased density within the same use (i.e., further subdivision of land for
single family).
You will not be required to pay the assessment unless one of the above situations occurs. However,
the assessment district will accrue simple interest at a rate of 4.86% per annum for a period of ten
years. The accrual of interest will begin thirty (30) days after the notice of potential assessment is.
recorded with King County Records. To avoid interest charges at a future date, you may pay the
amount of assessment during the thirty -day period after recording, interest free. This option is totally
at the discretion of the property owner.

Some properties within the boundary of this special assessment district are currently within other city

special assessment districts that they derive benefit from

not set forth in writing will not be considered Pursuant to City Ordinance No. 4444,
Section 9-16-9.0 and D, the only items of appeal that will be considered are the cost of
the facilities, the costs distribution methodology and the issue of benefit to the properties
to be assessed

pertaining to sewer installations, the background of the assessment district, or the appeal process,

an application for use of the Center and the use (i.e. physical occupancy) has
commenced. It is further understood that upon the termination of the current
contract, the two parties will immediately begin negotiating a new contract.

2. Considering the City's substantial investment in this facility, do we want to allow the
district to cut off our access to the facility upon 90 days notice (see Section 9)? If this agreement�L

use of the facilities.
3. There are a number of ambiguous terms on Page 1, such as "normal amenities" in Section

REPORT AND DECISION DATED MAY 1, 2003 PROJECT LUA-03-031, SHPL-A, ECF Page 2
1. Project Description/Background
The applicant, Bob Wenzl, has proposed to subdivide a 0.85-acre parcel into three lots. The property is
currently developed with an existing single-family residential structure, which is proposed to be removed or
demolished as a result of this short plat. Upon short plat approval, all lots within the development are intended
for the eventual development of detached single-family homes.
The lots are proposed at the following sizes: 4,084 square feet (Lot 1), 3,886 square feet (Lot 2), and 3,692
square feet (Lot 3). The applicant is proposing to serve all three lots from a 42-foot wide public road (NE 51h
Court) currently under construction off of Union Avenue NE. The new roadway was constructed as part of the
Vineyards subdivision (LUA00-029); however, as the roadway is located within the subject site, the applicant
has elected to dedicate the 5,698 square feet of right-of-way as part of this short plat application.
A 19,454 square foot wetland is located north of the roadway (NE 5th Court) currently under construction. The
wetland has been classified as a category 2 wetland; however, it is bounded by Union Avenue NE to the west,
NE 5th Court (currently under construction) to the south; and the Vineyards subdivision to the east. As such,
the applicant has proposed to place the entire wetland into a wetland and drainage tract to be maintained by
the homeowners within the short plat.
The topography of the subject site slopes at less than 1 % from east to west. The upland portion of the site is
predominately vegetated with grass lawn and trees. Specifically, the upland portion of the site contains three
cottonwood trees ranging from 24 to 44 inches in diameter and two coniferous trees ranging from 16 to 18
inches in diameter. These trees would be removed as a result of this project. The wetland area within the
subject site contains numerous amounts of scrub shrubs, wetland grasses, and conifer and deciduous trees,
which would be placed into a wetland tract and are not proposed to be disturbed as a result of the short plat.
As the subject site contains a regulated wetland (category 2), the project is subject to the State Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA) review.
2. Environmental Review
In compliance with RCW 43.21 C. 240, the following project environmental review addresses only
those project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and
environmental regulations.
A. Environmental Impacts
The proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Division to determine
whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to
occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal
is likely to have the following probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: The subject site is characterized as having a very little slope (less than 1 %). Excluding the
wetland area, the site is vegetated with mostly grass lawn and five trees, which would be removed as
a result of this proposal. The wetland area contains numerous amounts of scrub shrubs, wetland
grasses, and conifer and deciduous trees, which would be placed into a wetland/drainage tract and
not be disturbed as a result of this proposal.
The applicant was not required to submit a geotechnical report as the slopes on the site did not warrant
additional geotechnical review. According to the Soil Survey of King County, the soil type in this area is
Alderwood gravelly sandy loam. As a result of the recent development in this area of the City, the
City's Plan Review Section as indicated that there are sufficient utilities to accommodate the proposed
short plat.
In order to ensure potential erosion impacts are adequately mitigated, staff recommends that
temporary erosion control measures be maintained to the satisfaction of the representative of the
Development Services Division for the duration of the project.
Finally, in order to ensure neighboring properties and the onsite wetland is not impacted by erosion
from this development, staff recommends that the applicant be required to install a silt fence along the
down slope perimeter of the area that is to be disturbed. The silt fence shall be in place before
clearing and grading is initiated and shall be constructed in conformance with the specifications
presented in the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual. This will be required during the
construction of both off -site and on -site improvements as well as building construction.

City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED MAY 1, 2003 PROJECT LUA-03-031, SHPL-A, ECF Page 3
Mitigation Measures:
• Temporary erosion control measures shall be maintained to the satisfaction of th,,
representative of the Development Services Division for the duration of the project's construction.
• The applicant shall install a silt fence along the down slope perimeter of the area that is to be
disturbed. The silt fence shall be in place before clearing and grading is initiated and shall be
constructed in conformance with the specifications presented in the 1998 King County Surface Water
Design Manual. This will be required during the construction of both off -site and on -site improvements
as well as building construction.
Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations; 1998 KCSWDM
2. Water
Impacts: The applicant was not required to submit a new drainage report as the conceptual drainage
plan was previously reviewed and approved as part of the Vineyards subdivision (LUA00-029), which
is located north and east of this development.
The previous drainage report was reviewed by the City's Plan Review Section and approved subject to
meting the minimum requirements established in the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual
requirements. Prior to the issuance of construction permits for the installation of the stormwater
system, staff will verify the proposed drainage plan is appropriately designed to accommodate
stormwater impacts associated with this development.
Mitigation Measures: None
Nexus: N/A
3. Water - Wetlands
Wetland Impacts: A wetland assessment prepared by Terra Associates, Inc. dated December, 1999
was included with the application. According to the assessment, the northern half of the site contain,
19,454 square feet of a larger regulated wetland that continues to the east and north. The wetland is
classified as a Category 2 wetland and requires a 50-foot buffer width. The wetland is bounded by
Union Avenue NE to the west and NE 5th Court (currently under construction) to the south and the
Vineyards project to the north and east. The report states that the wetland is part of a larger wetland
system that continues to the north and east onto the Vineyards site. As part of the Vineyards
approval, the applicant was required to place the wetland into a wetland/drainage tract pursuant to
subdivision approval. Similarly, the applicant is proposing to place the entire 19,454 square foot
wetland into a wetland/drainage tract that would be maintained by the homeowners within the
proposed short plat.
In order to ensure the wetland continues to function at a satisfactory level, staff recommends that the
applicant be required to adhere to all recommendations contained within the wetland evaluation
report. In addition, staff recommends that the applicant be required to construct a split -rail or other
fence in order to denote the edge of the wetland buffer with appropriate signage information. Lastly,
staff recommends a final wetland mitigation condition, which would prohibit any vegetation removal
within the wetland or its associated buffer.
Mitigation Measures: In order to ensure the wetland is protected and will continue to function as
planned in the future the following mitigation measures will be required:
• The applicant shall comply with the recommendations contained within the Wetland
Evaluation Report dated December 13, 1999 prepared by Terra Associates Inc. in regards to wetland
maintenance, monitoring and construction of the project.
• The applicant shall be required to erect a spilt -rail fence or other fence type as approved by
the Development Services Division denoting the edge of the wetland buffer boundary prior to
recording of the short plat. In addition, a sign shall be located along the fence in a conspicuous
location indicating the presence of a wetland and its associated buffer.
• No vegetation removal shall be allowed within the wetland or its associated buffer with the
exception of dangerous or diseased trees. All dangerous and/or diseased trees proposed to be
removed from the wetland or its associated buffer shall require a letter from a qualified arborist and
shpltrpt. doc

REPORT AND DECISION DATED MAY 1, 2003 PROJECT LUA-03-031, SHPL-A, ECF Page 4
would be subject to inspection and approval of the Development Services Division. This mitigation
measure shall be placed on the face of the final short plat prior to recording.
B. Recommendation
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible
Officials make the following Environmental Determination:

F. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
4. Staff Review Comments
Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address
issues raised by the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the
essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the
Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report.
5. Consistency With Short Plat Criteria
Approval of a plat is based upon several factors. The following short plat criteria have been established to
assist decision -makers in the review of the plat:
a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Designation
The site is designated Residential Options (RO) on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The
RO designation is intended to providea variety of unit types designed to incorporate features from
both single family and multi -family residences and to support infill development. The proposal is
consistent with the RO designation in that it would provide for future construction of three single-
family homes and would promote goals of infill development. The proposal is consistent with the
following Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Housing Elements policies:
Policy LU-51. The net development densities should be 10 dwelling units peracre. If 100% of the
dwelling units are detached, a density bonus may be allowed to a maximum of 13 dwelling units
per acre.
The proposal for three units on a 0.26-net acre site would result in a density of approximately 11.1
dwelling units per acre, which complies with the allowed density range.
Policy LU-53. Detached single family housing, townhouses, and small-scale multi -family units
should be allowed in Residential Options.
The subject site is currently developed with a 1,400 square foot single-family residence that is
proposed to be removed or demolished as a result of this proposal. Upon project completion, the
applicant is proposing to construct three new single-family homes, which would be consistent with
this policy.
Policy H-4. Encourage infill development as a means to increase capacity.
The proposal would create two new lots, thereby increasing density within a currently developed
residential area.
b) Compliance with the Underlying Zoning Designation
The subject site is designated Residential — 10 Dwelling Units per Acre (R-10) on the City of
Renton Zoning Map. The proposed development would allow for the future construction of three
new single family dwelling units.
The allowed density range in the R-10 zone is a minimum of 7.0 to a maximum of 13 dwelling units
per acre for lots over one-half an acre in net size. It should be noted that the maximum density
permitted in the R-10 zone is 10 dwelling units per acre; however, a bonus of 3 dwelling units per
acre is afforded for projects comprised solely of detached single-family units. Net density is
calculated after the deduction of environmentally critical areas, areas intended for public right-of-
way, and private easements serving 3 lots or more from the gross acreage of the site. In this case,
the applicant has a site area that totals 36,814 gross square feet. However, the applicant is
proposing to dedicate a 42-foot wide new public street (NE 5th Court) that was constructed as part
of the Vineyards Subdivision (LUA00-029). The total amount of right-of-way to be dedicated is
5,698 square feet. In addition, the subject site contains a 19,455 square foot category 2 wetland,
which is located north of the new roadway (NE 51h Court). Therefore, the total net site area is
11,661 square feet (36,814 total square feet — 5,698 square feet of r-o-w — 19,455 square feet of
category 2 wetlands = 11,661 net square feet). Therefore, the net site area of the proposal is
11,661 square feet or 0.27 acres. This in turn, equates to a net density of 11.1 dwelling units per
shpltrpt. doc
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED MAY 1, 2003 PROJECT LUA-03-031, SHPL-A, ECF Page 7
acre (3 / 0.27 = 11.1 du/ac), which is under the maximum dwelling units per acre (13) allowe
within the R-10 zone.
The minimum lot width in the R-10 zone for detached residential development is 30 feet for interior
lots and 40 feet for corner lots. The minimum lot depth is 55 feet. In this case, the applicant has
proposed Lot 1 (corner lot) to have a 45-foot width and 97 foot depth. Lot 2 (interior lot) is
proposed to have a 40-foot width and a 97 foot depth; and Lot 3 (interior lot) is proposed to have a
38-foot width and a 97-foot depth. The minimum lot size permitted within the R-10 zone is 3,000
square feet for detached residential development. As proposed, the lot sizes would range from
3,692 square feet to 4,081 square feet. Finally, the maximum building lot coverage within the R-10
zone is 70%. This development standard would be reviewed at the time of building permit
approval.
Setbacks in the R-10 zone are as follows: front yard 10 feet for primary structures and 20 feet for
attached garages (for streets created after March 1, 1995), side yard 5 feet, side yard along a
street 10 feet, and rear yard 15 feet. While no construction is planned for the new lots at this time,
the lots appears to have adequate area to provide for a new single family residence while meeting
the required setbacks and lot coverage requirements. In addition, each lot would have adequate
area to provide two off-street parking spaces as required by the parking regulations. As the
existing 1,400 square foot single-family residence and attached carport do not meet the setback
requirements described above, staff recommends that all existing structures be removed prior to
final short plat approval.
c) Compliance with Subdivision Regulations
Streets: The applicant has proposed to dedicate a 42-foot wide roadway (NE 5'h Court) that was
constructed as part of the Vineyards Subdivision. The roadway is located in the middle of the
subject site and would provide vehicular access to all three of the proposed lots within the short
plat. The roadway intersects with Union Avenue NE to the west and continues into the Vineyards
Subdivision to the east. A category 2 wetland is located north of the roadway. The street has bee
designed to include full street improvements, including curb, gutter, and 6-foot wide sidewalks on
both sides of the street.
As the proposal would result in an increase in traffic trips to the City's street system, staff
recommends that the applicant pay the appropriate Traffic Mitigation Fee. The Traffic Mitigation
Fee is calculated at a rate of $75.00 per additional generated trip per single family home at a rate
of 9.57 trips per home. For the proposal, the Traffic Mitigation Fee is estimated at $1,435.50 (2
new lots x 9.57 trips x $75 per trip = $1,435.50), with credit given for the existing residence. The
fee is payable prior to the recording of the final short plat.
Blocks: No new blocks will be created as part of the proposed short plat.
Lots: The minimum lot size permitted in the R-10 zone is 3,000 square feet for detached single-
family development. The short plat would create three lots, which are proposed at 4,081 square
feet (Lot 1), 3,886 square feet (Lot 2), and 3,692 square feet (Lot 3) in size. The proposed lot
sizes are compatible with other existing lots in this area under the same R-10 zoning classification.
The proposed lots also comply with the R-10 requirements for minimum lot width as well as
minimum lot depth (as discussed above).
The size, shape, orientation, and arrangement of the proposed lots comply with the requirements
of the Subdivision Regulations and the development standards of the R-10 zone. In addition, each
lot would have access to a public street (NE 5h Court).
d) Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries
Access: Each lot would have access to a public right-of-way (NE 5'" Court). S.Pecifically, Lot 1
has street frontage along Union Avenue NE and the new public roadway (NE 5 Court). Lots 2
and 3 would also have direct street frontage onto NE 5'h Court as a result of this proposal. In order
to ensure safe and efficient emergency and vehicular access to the subject site, staff recommends
that all lots within the proposed short plat be required to utilize the new public roadway (NE 5in
Court) for vehicular access. Staff recommends that this condition be noted on the face of the final
short. plat prior to recording. As there is an existing curb cut onto NE Union Avenue that was
utilized by the existing single-family (to be removed), staff also recommends that the existing curb
cut onto Union Avenue NE be removed and replaced with an appropriate curb, sidewalk and
shpitrpt. doc
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED MAY 1, 2003 PROJECT LUA-03-031, SHPL-A, ECF Page 8
gutter. This condition would ensure that future property owners are not tempted to have direct
access onto Union Avenue NE.
Topography. The subject site is characterized as having a very slight slope (less than 1 %).
Excluding the wetland area, the site is vegetated with mostly grass lawn and five trees, which
would be removed as a result of this proposal. The wetland area contains numerous scrub shrubs,
wetland grasses, and conifer and deciduous trees. The applicant was not required to submit a
geotechnical report as the slopes on the site did not warrant additional geotechnical review.
According to the Soil Survey of King County, the soil type in this area is Alderwood gravelly sandy
loam. As a result of the recent development in this area of the City, the City's Plan Review Section
as indicated that there are sufficient utilities to accommodate the proposed short plat. Please refer
to the discussion under "Earth" in the environmental review section of this report for additional
analysis.
Relationship to Existing Uses: The properties surrounding the subject site are designated
Residential —10 Dwelling Units Per Acre (R-10) on the City's zoning map. The proposal is similar
to existing development patterns in the area (i.e. Vineyards) and is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code, which encourage residential infill development. Moreover,
as redevelopment occurs in this area of the city, many of the nearby lots have been platted into
smaller infill lots ranging from 3,000 square feet to 4,500 square feet in size.
e) Availability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness)
Fire Prevention staff indicate that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed
development, subject to the condition that the applicant provide required improvements and fees.
The proposal would add new residences to the City, which would potentially impact the City's Fire
Emergency Services. Therefore, staff recommends a Fire Mitigation Fee estimated at $976.00 (2
new lots x $488.00 = $976.00.00) be required for the proposal, with credit given for the existing
residence. Staff recommends that this fee be paid prior to the recording of the final short plat.
Recreation: The proposal does not provide on -site recreation areas for future residents of the
proposed plat. There are existing recreational facilities in the area of the subject property (e.g.,
Kiwanis Park) and it is anticipated that the proposed development would generate future demand
for City parks and recreational facilities and programs. Therefore, staff recommends the applicant
be required to pay a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per each new single family lot, with
credit given for the existing residence. The fee is estimated at $1,061.52 (2 new lots x $530.76 =
$1,061.52) and is payable prior to the recording of the final short plat.
Schools: According to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Renton Land Use
Element (January 16, 1992), the City of Renton has a student generation factor of 0.44 students
per single family residential dwelling. Therefore, it is anticipated that the proposed short plat would
result in 0.88 or 1(0.44 X 2 = 0.88 or 1) new child to the local schools (Highlands Elementary
School, McKnight Middle School, and Hazen High School). The Renton School District has
indicated they can accommodate the additional student generated by this proposal.
Streets: The subject site is located along Union Avenue NE. The applicant has proposed to
dedicate a new 42-foot wide roadway (NE 5th Court) that was constructed as part of the Vineyards
Subdivision. The roadway intersects with Union Avenue NE to the west and continues east into
the Vineyards Subdivision. It should also be noted that the applicant would be required to pay a
Traffic Mitigation Fee in the amount of $75.00 per each new trip generated by the proposal prior to
the recording of the short plat. Please see above discussion regarding "Streets & Access."
Storm Water. Storm water facilities are located in Union Avenue NE and NE 5th Court (currently
under construction). A drainage narrative was not submitted with the application, as the
development was anticipated with the review of the Vineyards Subdivision, which was previously
reviewed by the City of Renton's Plan Review Section. Finally, a Surface Water System
Development Charge of $525.00 per new single family lot would be collected as part of the
construction permit or prior to the recording of the short plat.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities: There is an existing 8-inch water main and 8-inch sewer
main located in NE 5th Court. The applicant would be required to make all other necessary
connections to serve future development on the new lots. A Water System Development Charge
of $1,105 per new single family lot, as well as a Sewer System Development Charge of $760.00

per new single family lot, would be collected as part of the construction permit or prior to th-
recording of the short plat.

TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, President
Members of the Renton City Council
VIA: Jesse Tanner, Mayor
FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator (x 6592)
SUBJECT: Hotel/Motel Tax Funding Reallocation
Issue:
• The Renton Hotel/Motel Tax Advisory Committee recommends that the Renton City
Council reallocate $30,000 previously earmarked for the since -cancelled Renton
Barbecue & Blues Festival to the Renton Community Marketing Campaign for its
ongoing 2003 activities.
Recommendations:
• Concur in the Hotel/Motel Tax Advisory Committee recommendation.
Background:
On January 13, 2003, the Renton City Council made its annual allocation of Hotel/Motel
Tax Revenues. On recommendation of the Hotel/Motel Tax Advisory Committee, the
Council appropriated $20,000 to the Renton Community Marketing Campaign for its 2003
activities. The events included the Ahead of the Curve Day Festival and the Cinema in the
Piazza outdoor movie series, among other community marketing efforts. Additionally,
$30,000 was allocated to the proposed Renton Barbecue & Blues Festival.
The Renton Barbecue & Blues Festival was planned as a large-scale regional event relying
heavily on corporate sponsorship to make up the remainder of its $250,000+ budget.
Unfortunately, the Community Marketing Campaign was unsuccessful in securing
significant outside financial support for this event.
Additionally, corporate sponsorship was not available to support the Ahead of the Curve
Day Festival and the Cinema in the Piazza.
The Hotel/Motel Tax Advisory Committee met July 31, 2003 and determined that the
$30,000 previously earmarked for the ill-fated Barbecue & Blues Festival to the Renton

days per Member per calendar year (in addition to coverage in lieu
of hospitalization). Additional information concerning the benefit
can be found in Section X. Schedule of Benefits. (The 60-day
skilled nursing facility coverage is dependent on when the actual
renewal paperwork was provided to the group.)

admitted to an inpatient facility prior to their enrollment under this
Agreement, and who do not have coverage under another

available under this Agreement for the confinement are exhausted,
regardless of whether a new calendar year begins; the member
becomes covered under another Agreement with the group health
plan that provides benefits for the confinement; the member
becomes enrolled under an Agreement with another carrier that
would provide benefits for this confinement if this Agreement did
not exist; or Medicare eligibility.
The Services provided after Termination provision has been
clarified to define what the certificate of creditable coverage is, as
well as to state that the group determines whether GHC or the group
provides the certificate of creditable coverage to members.
Continuation coverage, conversion and
A clarification has been made under eligibility for Group
transfer
Conversion stating that any Subscriber or Family Dependent not
entitled to Medicare may convert to GHC's Group Conversion plan
if his/her coverage under this Agreement is terminated for any
reason other than cause.
In accordance with Washington state law, a continuation option
provision has been added which states "A Member no longer eligible
for coverage under this Agreement (except in the event of
termination for cause) may continue coverage for a period of up to
three (3) months subject to notification to and self -payment of
premium to the Group. This provision will not apply if the Member
is eligible for the continuation coverage provisions of the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
COBRA)."
Coordination of benefits
The definition of "Plan" has been broadened to include sources of
benefits or services from individual policies.

medicare -eligible person's benefits will be effected when the

The Honorable Jesse Tanner and Council Members:
I attended last week's council meeting and will be unable to attend this
week. However, I do wish to express my support and concern for Jane
Hower, who spoke at last week's meeting regarding the Mexican Matricula
Consular.
For me, there is a larger issue concerning the I.D. card than any perceived
terrorist threat. There is a greater principle involved, which is that
people who do not have the proper documentation (a Visa or a work permit)
have no business living here and moving freely amongst the rest of us,
enjoying the same privileges. We are NOT obliged to make life more
convenient for illegal aliens; otherwise we should just open up our borders
• to everyone.
Without documentation, we cannot know for sure a person's background or
criminal history. Why should we trust the Mexican government? It is
overburdened and is all too happy to send its problems to us to deal with.
The state of California is bankrupt partially due to its open door policy
on illegal immigration in providing medical services and social
programs at taxpayer expense.
Legal immigrants from Mexico and elsewhere have had to jump through
all the necessary hoops to get here and to remain here, and allowing others
to break the law negates the efforts of those who have worked hard to call
themselves Americans. Those who do not have a legal right to be here should
be deported, period. Therefore, if an individual does not have a Visa or a
work
permit to show to law enforcement, that person should be taken into custody.
This
policy should also apply to Canadians and anyone else. Indeed, we should be
particularly
circumspect about the Canadians, since Canada is harboring many of the
terrorists.
Foreign governments do not give Americans carte blanche to infiltrate and
move about their countries at will. Freedom and the rights of citizens
should supercede the rights of "visitors."
am in favor of issuing all American citizens some sort of national I.D.
card so that there will be no question of singling out certain groups. I
would be more than willing to show proof of citizenship to any police
officer upon request
because I have nothing to hide. Unfortunately, we are living in a different
world since 9/11.
I must add that I was alarmed by Dan Clawson's offensive and condescending
remarks and apparent attempts to suppress the speech of Ms. Hower and shame
her for not following the approved and fashionable politically correct
agenda. Labels and name-calling,
tossing around insults like "white supremacist" and "xenophobe" is an
intimidation tactic that is all too common these days instead of countering
with
a valid argument whenever another challenges a liberal policy. I realize
this was done in a
roundabout manner without seeming to attack Ms. Hower directly, but the
effect was still the
same. I am most certainly not affiliated with any white supremacy group, and
to my knowledge neither is Ms. Hower. However, Mr. Clawson rudely cut Ms.
Hower off as if she were some paranoid, pitchfork -wielding peasant rather
than a
concerned citizen who had done her research. I realize it was getting late
and the council members were tired, but Ms. Hower should have been given
equal time to those discussing annexation and sewer systems.
If Mr. Clawson erroneously thinks he holds the majority opinion, it is only
because others are afraid to speak up for fear of being branded as racists
or
losing their jobs and standing in the community. It is all well and good for
those
in political power to be so passionate about the issues, but evidently not
for
ordinary (or extraordinary) citizens like Ms. Hower. So much for
participatory
democracy. This should not be a partisan issue, even though Renton is still
a conservative town. Certain elected officials may attempt to suppress our
speech,
but they cannot control our thoughts. Our votes will be our voices.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Victoria Culley

Dear Mr. Priestley:
In answer to your letter of inquiry dated August 10, 2003, Renton does indeed have a
Nepotism Policy. It is entitled Policy & Procedure 300-09.
State law prohibits discrimination against employees or job applicants because of marital
status. The authority for this statement comes from The Revised Code of Washington,
RCW 49.60.120(3), and the Washington Administrative Code, WAC162-16-250. The
legality of employment of husband and wife is also supported by a statement from the
Attorney General's Office, received by this office through the State Auditor, which states
that such employment is not prohibited by the doctrine of incompatible offices or the
statute governing beneficial interests in municipal contracts.
However, exceptions to this prohibition are authorized by the Statute and the WAC cited
above. These exceptions permit employers, including State Agencies and political
subdivisions such as Counties and Cities, to prohibit employment of husband and wife
under certain conditions (see attached WAC 162-16-250(2)(b).
Under the exceptions authority cited above, the City of Renton has adopted a Nepotism
Policy that prohibits the employment of husband and wife under certain conditions (see
attached Policy & Procedure 300-09). This Policy & Procedure has been in effect since
1982 and would prevent the employment of a spouse of a Mayor, or any relative of a
Mayor, in the City of Renton during the tenure of that Mayor. Therefore, one spouse
holding the office of Mayor and the other spouse holding the office of Department Head
would be a violation of existing City of Renton policy.
I hope this addresses your concerns.
Sincerely,

Title 162 WAC: Human Rights Commission
[Statutory Authority: RCW 49.60.120(3). 99-15-025, § 162-16-240, filed
7/12/99, effective 8/12/99]
WAC 162-16.250 Discrimination because.of marital
status. (1) General rule. It is an unfair practice to discrimi-
nate against an employee or job applicant because of marital
status. Examples of unfair practices include, but are not lim-
ited to:
(a) Refusing to hire a single or divorced applicant
because of a presumption that "married persons are more sta-
ble."
(b) Refusing to promote a married employee because of
a presumption that he or she "will be less willing to work late
and travel."
(2) Exceptions to the rule. There are narrow exceptions
to the rule that an employer, employment agency, labor
union, or other person may not discriminate on the basis of
marital status:
(a) If a bona fide occupational qualification applies
(please see WAC 162-16-240).
(b) If an employer is enforcing a documented conflict of
interest policy limiting employment opportunities on the
basis of marital status:
(i) Where one spouse would have the authority or practi-
cal power to supervise, appoint, remove, or discipline the
other;
(ii) Where one spouse would be responsible for auditing
the work of the other;
(iii) Where other circumstances exist which would place
the spouses in a situation of actual or reasonably foreseeable
conflict between the employer's interest and their own; or
(iv) Where, in order to avoid the reality or appearance of
improper influence or favor, or to protect its confidentiality,
the employer must limit the employment of close relatives of
policy level officers of customers, competitors, regulatory.
agencies, or others with whom the employer deals.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 49.60.120(3). 99-15-025, § 162-16-250, filed
7/12/99, effective 8/12199.)
WAC 162-16-260 Discriminatory language in adver-
tising and recruiting. (1) Unfair practice. The law against
discrimination (RCW 49.60.180, 49.60.190 and 49.60.200)
makes it an unfair practice for employers, labor unions,
employment agencies, or other persons to discriminate on the
basis of protected status. An exception is if a bona fide occu-
pational qualification applies (please see WAC 162-16-240).
The law against discrimination (RCW 49.60.220) also makes
it an unfair practice for any person to aid, abet, encourage, or
incite the commission of any unfair practice.
The commission provides the following charts as guid-
ance in avoiding discriminatory language in advertising and
recruiting. These are suggested terms only. The commission
invites persons who want further assistance to contact com-
mission staff.
(2) Discriminatory language. It is an unfair practice to
use any word, term, phrase, or expression that tends to influ-
ence, persuade or dissuade, encourage or discourage, attract
or repel, any person or persons because of protected status.
An exception is if a bona fide occupational qualification

The Honorable Jesse Tanner, Mayor
City of Renton
Washington
Dear Mayor Tanner:
AUG 2003
MA i O S OF! ICE
While discussing the upcoming mayoral race with friends it came to my attention that
one of the candidates is married to the current Chief of the Renton Fire Department. I
was wondering, in the event of a successful bid for the office, wouldn't the city have to
hire a new Chief? I do not know if Renton has a specific nepotism policy in regards to
such matters, and would like to see the city enunciate its policy, since there seems to be
some question in the matter.
Take the city budget, for example. Were this not to be the policy the next mayor
would have a conflict of interest in nearly every budgetary matter to come up. Not only
would the mayor have to recuse him/herself from budgetary decisions involving the
Renton Fire Department, but every other fiscal matter. My reasoning is straightforward:
in any budgetary matter not involving the Fire Department, a penny saved is one that
would not then have to be cut from the RFD budget, and the mayor's judgment could be
influenced by concern for the spouse's department's welfare. Such would be the public
perception.
I hope the City of Renton does not have to find a new Fire Chief, but I believe the
issue should be made clear in advance of the election.
Best regards on completion of a successful term.
