Collection
that the City has over 100 pieces of art. She grouped the art into two categories
- wall art (approximately 65 paintings at City Hall) and public art (everything
except the paintings). She displayed photographs of all the art pieces in the
public art category, describing each piece of artwork and its location. For many
of the pieces, she gave a brief overview of the artist and how the artwork
became part of the City's collection.
In response to Council inquiry, Ms. Allen stated that a brochure is available that
identifies the location of the public artwork, she is working on a book on this
subject that will be available at the Renton library, and the information will
soon be posted on the City's website.
Finance' 2002 CAFR Award
Victoria Runkle, Finance and Information Services Administrator, explained
that the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) is a summation of the
City's financial records for the end of the year. The financial records are
audited by the State, and are given to the Government Finance Officers
Association to review and analyze to make sure that the records are comparable
to other cities of similar size. She stated that the CAFR is completed every
year, and every year the City receives an award.
Ms. Runkle presented Fiscal Services Director Elaine Gregory with an award,
and Ms. Gregory stated that the CAFR represents an extraordinary amount of
work that is put together all year long by the accounting staff. She expressed
her appreciation to staff, saying they take great pride in the accuracy of the
data. She also thanked Ms. Runkle for her day-to-day guidance and inspiration.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Development Services: City
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
Center Area Roof Signs
public hearing to consider a City Code amendment to allow roof signs within
the City Center area subject to an administrative modification.
April 19, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 116
Jason Jordan, Senior Planner, explained that the City Code currently specifies a
list of prohibited signs, or those which are specifically not allowed throughout
the City. Outside the City Center area, the sign code regulations allow
prohibited signs subject to an administrative modification; however, within the
City Center area, the modification criterion prevents the allowance of
prohibited signs.
Mr. Jordan pointed out that the newly remodeled Pavilion Building was
designed with a support structure intended to display hanging banners on its
southern facade. He explained that this type of sign is categorized as a roof
sign, and as a result of the prohibition, the City cannot place any sign text into
- - - - - - thesignsupport_ structure.- Therefore, staff recommends amending the City
Center sign regulations to allow prohibited signs in the City Center area subject -
to the granting of a modification by the Development Services Division
Director. The modification must take into account the City's Comprehensive
Plan, precedence setting, and neighborhood impacts.
Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY
PERSSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING. CARRIED.
Stating that the matter was reviewed in Planning and Development Committee,
Councilwoman Briere noted that the amendment does not drastically change
anything and there are still limits as to the types of signs allowed. (See page
120 for ordinance.)
Annexation: Johnson, 142nd This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Ave SE accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
public hearing to consider the 60% Direct Petition to annex and R-8 prezoning
for the proposed 18.24-acre Johnson Annexation located between 142nd Ave.
SE and 144th Ave. SE, if extended, south of NE 9th St., if extended, to a line
approximately 110 feet south of SE 121st St.
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, reported that the signatures on the petition were
certified by King County on March 3, 2004. He described the location and
existing conditions of the site, noting the existence of eight single-family
dwellings. The site slopes from west to east, a wetland is located near the
southeast corner, and Honey Creek flows north beyond the eastern edge of the
site. Reviewing the public services, Mr. Erickson noted that the site is served
by Fire District #25 and the Renton School District, and is within the Renton
water and sewer utility service area.
Continuing, Mr. Erickson stated that the site's zoning under King County is R-4
(four units per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates this area
Residential Single Family, for which R-8 (eight units per net acre) zoning is
proposed. Regarding the fiscal impact of the proposed annexation, he indicated
that the City will realize a $44 surplus at full development, assuming an
increase to 106 single-family homes and an assessed home value of $300,000.
There is an estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost of
$60,743.
Mr. Erickson concluded that the proposed annexation is within the best
interests and general welfare of the City, and is consistent with City policies.
He noted that the Surface Water Division indicated some potential flooding in
the area, suggesting mitigation with future development.

Eleanor Bagley, 11860 142nd Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, expressed concern

provisions have been made,to address this problem. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler
explained that this public hearing addresses the proposed annexation and
zoning; however, there will be opportunity to comment on any development
proposals in the future. She asked that Ms. Bagley be made a party of record
on upcoming development proposals.

THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Planning & Development Planning and Development Committee Chair Briere presented a report
Committee regarding the Savren Street Vacation (VAC-03-002). Council approved this
Vacation: Alley between vacation petition subject to the condition that the petitioner provide public
Williams & Wells Aves S, access to the remaining alley across the petitioner's property through a public
Savren Service Corp, VAC-03- access easement. The Committee recommended concurrence in the
002 recommendation of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department that
Council amend its original approval so that the vacation petition is approved
subject to the condition that the petitioner provide public access to the
remaining alley across the petitioner's property through a right-of-way
dedication.
Furthermore, the Committee recommended concurrence in the recommendation
of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department that Council accept the
appraisal for the portion of the City alley, accept the appraisal for the 24-foot
access easement to be dedicated as right-of-way instead of an easement, set
compensation at $3,400 for the Savren Street Vacation, and accept the
dedication in lieu of a part of the cash compensation that would be paid for the
street vacation. Since City Code calls for the difference between the appraised
values of $3,400 to be paid to the petitioner, the monies due the City from the
petitioner would be zero. Accordingly, the monies due the petitioner from the
City would also be zero. MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY

PUBLIC INFORMATION HANDOUT
April 19, 2004
City Center Sign Code Revision
For additional information, please contact: Jason Jordan, Project Manager; City of Renton
Development Services Division; (425) 430-7219
ISSUE:
Current code specifies a list of prohibited signs, or those which are specifically
not allowed throughout the City. Outside of the City Center area, the sign code
regulations allow prohibited signs to be approved subject to granting of an
administrative modification. However, when located within the City Center, the
modification criterion prevents prohibited signs (i.e. rooftop signs) from being
allowed. For example, the newly remodeled Pavilion Building was designed with
a support structure intended to display hanging banners on its southern facade,
near the southeastern corner of the building facing the Piazza Park. This type of
sign is categorized as a roof sign per code definition. As a result of this
prohibition, the City has not been allowed to place any sign text onto the sign
support structure.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Services Division recommends amending the City Center sign
regulations. The amendment would allow prohibited signs to be located in the
City Center area subject to a modification being granted by the Development
Services Division Director. The modification would need to take into
consideration the City's Comprehensive Plan, precedence setting and
neighborhood impacts.
JOHNSON ANNEXATION PUBLIC MEETING
COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED ANNEXATION
WITH R-8 ZONING
April 19, 2004
The City is in receipt of a 60% Direct Petition to annex from property owners in the proposed
18.24-acre annexation area. This petition has signatures representing more than 60% of the
area's assessed value. The subject site is within the City's East Renton Plateau Potential
Annexation Area and is designated Residential Single Family (RS) on the City's Comprehensive
Plan Land Use Map (see back of handout). It lies between 142nd Avenue SE and 144th Avenue
SE, if extended, south of NE 91h Street, if extended, to a line approximately 110 feet south of SE
121St Street.
This site currently has King County's R-4 zoning and there are eight single-family detached
dwellings on it. Proposed prezoning is R-8 (8 units per net acre). This is slightly more dense
than what would be allowed under the County's R-4 zoning since densities up to 6 units per
gross acre are relatively easy to achieve with bonuses and/or TDRs. On a typical 10 acre site the
difference would only be four units (64 units under Renton's R-8 zoning versus 60 units under
the County's R-4 zoning with bonuses). Renton's zoning deletes critical areas and streets from a
site's gross acreage whereas the County's zoning does not. Also, the County's zoning allows
both attached and detached units. With the City's proposed R-8 zoning, the site could
accommodate approximately 98 single-family detached dwelling units, at full development.
Council held a public meeting on February 9, 2003 to consider the applicant's 10% Notice of
Intent petition to commence annexation and at that time authorized the expansion of the
annexation to include the Biglow property to the south and the circulation of the 60% Direct
Petition, based upon assessed value. On February 18, 2003 the proponents filed the 60% Direct
Petition with the City Clerk. This has now been certified by the King County Department of
Assessments allowing for tonight's public meeting to consider the R-8 prezoning of the site and
acceptance of the 60% Direct Petition.
If the Council decides to accept this proposed annexation, it will typically:
Direct the City Attorney to begin drafting a zoning ordinance for the proposed prezone;
and,
2. Authorize the Administration to prepare and forward the Notice of Intent package to the
Washington State Boundary Review Board for King County, beginning their 45-day
review period.

CITY OF RENTON
MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 19, 2004
TO: Don Persson, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
FROM: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor
Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Administrative Report
In addition to our day to -day activities, the following items are worthy of note for this week:
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Flowers, fruits, vegetables, arts, crafts, and the dedication of a new 25-foot tree will be the focus of the Spring
Festival at the Piazza on Saturday, April 20. Sponsored by Piazza Renton, the City, and the Renton Chamber
of Commerce, this event will run from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. and will include food and beverages for sale.
A highlight of the festival will occur at approximately 2:00 p.m. when the City will dedicate the new tree in
honor of National Arbor Day.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
• The Fire Department is making significant and measurable progress in the implementation of its new Records
Management System, known as FDM. One of the operating modules is the electronic submission of data to the
State of Washington, which takes approximately ten minutes. The previous method took a minimum of three
hours of staff work, plus several disks, and postage costs. In addition, testing will begin for the report -training
module required for the Department. Last week, in approximately 15 minutes, the Department entered 145
training records from the Chief's Drill into FDM, thereby saving an enormous amount of time, accomplishing
the task at the fire station level, and eliminating a lot of paper shuffling.
PLANNINGBUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
• Over the past two weeks, the airport office has received several noise complaints between the hours of 11:00
p.m. and 2:00 a.m. concerning helicopter operations around neighborhoods in South Seattle and Mercer Island.
It was confirmed that these operations are associated with Boeing Field International (BFI). Local and federal
law enforcement agencies have increased operations in particular areas around Seattle, utilizing helicopters for
survey and surveillance.
Preliminary design and related work is currently underway for the reconstruction of Duvall Avenue NE/Coal
Creek Parkway SE and the intersection of Duvall Avenue NE and Sunset Blvd in Renton. The project is a
joint City of Renton/King County Project for which the City of Renton is the lead agency. An Open House
will be held on Wednesday, April 20, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Hazen High School, 1101 Hoquiam Avenue
NE. This Open House will give the public an opportunity to learn about the status and direction of the project,
ask questions, and comment during the early stages of the project's design. For more information, please call
the project manager at 425-430-7319.

TO: Don Persson, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
VIA: Mayor Kathy Keolker-Wheeler,, ,
FROM: Gregg Zimmermal A ministrator
Planning/Building/Public Works Department
STAFF CONTACT: Juliana Fries, x7278
SUBJECT: REQUEST OF LATECOMER AGREEMENT FOR WHARTON
SEWER MAIN EXTENSION
ISSUE:
Mr. Glenn Wharton is requesting a Latecomer Agreement for installation of approximately 275 lineal
feet of 8-inch sewer main along SE 122' Street.
RECOMMENDATION:
• It is the recommendation of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department that Council accept the
applicant's request for a latecomer agreement, subject to final approval by Council upon completion of
construction and determination of actual costs.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
Mr. Wharton's property, located outside the current City Limits, has received sewer availability for one
existing lot prior to the current ordinance that limits sewer outside of the City of Renton limits. In
March 22°d of 2004, Mr. Wharton submitted an application for a Latecomer Agreement Request (File
No. LA-04-001). The application contains: Legal Description of the applicant's property, list of King
County tax account numbers (PID#s) for benefited properties, a vicinity map of applicant's property,
benefiting properties and the location of the improvements, and a set of civil engineering plans for the
sewer main extension (under consideration for latecomer recovery and the required processing fee).
City Code Section 9-5 allows private developers and owners to apply for a latecomer agreement for
purposes of being reimbursed for a portion of their original utility or street construction costs when it is
deemed to benefit adjacent properties. These costs or "assessments" are then spread among the property
owners based on a pro rata share. The method of cost distribution recommended for this instance is
based upon front footage. The current estimated cost per front foot is $77.33, which is within an
acceptable range for typical sewer extensions.
April 14, 2004
Page 2
The line will be constructed in an easement along the northerly property of Forrest Crest apartments
and extended 275 feet to the west, along SE 122" Street.
CONCLUSION:
The applicant met all requirements and staff recommends acceptance of the Latecomer Agreement,
subject to the code condition that no construction starts within thirty (30) days of the date that the
application was submitted to Council. This will allow City staff to obtain preliminary approval from
Council and benefit property owners to be notified by mail. Staff further recommends that the method
of assessment for cost distribution of the sewer main extension be front footage, currently estimated at
approximately $77.33 per linear foot.

and Strategic Planning Department
STAFF CONTACT: Norma McQuiller
SUBJECT: 2004 Grant Applications
ISSUE:
Review of eight project grants and three newsletter grants for compliance with Neighborhood
Program objectives.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The City Council appropriated $50,000 in the 2004 budget for the Neighborhood Grant
Program. The first round of 2004 grants started with the promotion/advertising of the program.
Announcements ran in the King County Journal, Renton Reporter, City Source, Channel 21,
and the City's web site beginning in January through the middle of March. On January 21,
2004 and February 18, 2004, a pre -application grant workshop was held for those
neighborhood representatives who wanted to learn more about the program and application
process. Eight representatives from seven neighborhoods attended the workshop. Eight
projects and three newsletter applications were submitted from seven neighborhoods. On
March 30, 2004 a City Staff Grant Review Panel met to evaluate and recommend each grant
application under the guidelines of the project evaluation criteria.
PROJECT EVALUATION CRITERIA:
The following criteria are used to evaluate projects:
a) Project size and complexity are appropriate for neighborhood group
b) Location of project is appropriate
c) Project documentation shows neighborhood participation and adequate volunteer labor
reflecting community support for the project
d) Maintenance is accounted for after completion
e) Project is visible and benefits the public
f) Sufficient matching funds exist through sweat equity, cash, or donated labor/materials
g) Physical improvements benefit a larger area of a community
h) Project facilitates other neighborhood program objectives including neighborhood
networking, stimulating self-help, and neighborhood organization
i) Project has realistic budget
April 8, 2004

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of funding for the following five grant project applications:
1. Tiffany Park Homeowners' Association - $925.00: The project consists of laying new
beauty bark, fertilizer, planting perennial flowers, and plants to upgrade the neighborhood
common area and seven traffic circles. Staff does not recommend funding for signs within
the neighborhood common area because they are not eligible for funding under the criteria
of the City of Renton Neighborhood Grant Program. Total project cost with sweat equity is
$1,850.00. (The project meets criteria a, b, c, d, f, h, i)
2. Ginger Creek Community Association — $3,766.17: The proposal is to continue
development of a neighborhood urban park located on a Seattle Public Utilities (SPU)
owned right-of-way in Renton. The neighborhood group has previously received two
grants from the City of Renton Neighborhood Grant Program to complete Phase 1 and 2 of
the urban park. The goal of this grant is to further develop the park with the addition of an
identity sign and landscaping. Total project cost with sweat equity is $7,532.34. (The
project meets criteria a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)
3. Kennydale Neighborhood Association - $1,626.00: The project involves the installation
of an in -ground sprinkler system, located at the intersection of Lake Washington Blvd. N.,
Burnett Avenue, and N. 361" Street, which will serve the landscaped areas adjacent to the
Kennydale Beach parking lot. In the past, three adjacent residents have been hand -watering
the site, using personal water and hoses. This system would provide a permanent means for
delivering water, which is essential to the growth and survival of the plants. Total project
cost with sweat equity is $3,252.00. (The project meets criteria a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)
PILOT -PROGRAM
The next two grant requests for A -frame signboards are being viewed as a pilot program to
evaluate the effectiveness as a communication tool for neighborhood meetings. Staff will work
with the neighborhood associations to monitor the attendance at their meetings and events. The
information received will help determine future funding for the A -frame signboards as a grant
proposal. Staff will work with the organizations to implementation guides for proper use and
locations, i.e. signs should not obstruct visibility from vehicles, placed on sidewalks, paved
roadways, and should not be for personal use.
4. North Renton Neighborhood Association - $832.32: Project consists of building ten A -
frame signboards, 3'H x 2' W in size, with slide in and out brackets for announcements,
and a water -proof protected overlay. The signs will serve as a means of notification of
neighborhood meetings, events, and picnics. The boards would be placed in strategic
locations throughout the neighborhood. The goal is to increase communication and
attendance at neighborhood functions. Total project cost with sweat equity is $1,664.64.
(The project meets criteria c, e, f, h, i)
5. Summerwind Homeowners' Association - $212.20: Project consists of building eight A -
frame signboards, 2'H x 2'W in size, to serve as notification of neighborhood meetings,
events, and picnics. The boards would be placed in strategic locations throughout the
neighborhood and information will be on laminated paper. The goal is to increase
H:\EDNSP\Neighborhoods\Grant Program\2004\Issue Paper 2004 Grants.doc
April 8, 2004
Page 3
communication and attendance at neighborhood functions. Total project cost with sweat
equity is $424.40. (The project meets criteria c, e, f, h, i)
Staff recommends denial of funding for the following project applications, as they do not
currently meet the criteria of the Neighborhood Program:
1. Falcon Ridge Homeowners' Association — $4,802.00: Project is comprised of three
different components: (1) Neighborhood Ditches, (2) Detention Ponds, and (3) Entry Road
Ditches. This consists of clean out of ditches and increases water flow, clear outflow pipes
for 2 detention ponds, and cleanout, slope, and grade the entry road ditches. Staff
recommends denial of this project, as it appears that repair/maintenance has been deferred,
rather than an enhancement. This is a gated community and maintenance is the
responsibility of the residents. Very little sweat equity as organization plans to hire out the
labor and no community participation. Staff recommends a beautification project of the
detention pond by way of landscaping/planting, combined with rebuilding of rock wall. It
is recommended that residents work with City staff in this selection process and apply in
the next round. (The project does not meet criteria of program at this time based upon
submitted information)
2. Edmonds Place Neighborhood - $1,481.57: The project involves removal of 27 dead and
dying trees and replacing them with 26 arbor vitae, which grow to exceed a height of seven -
feet tall. There is no "common area" at this subdivision. All setbacks are within the
boundaries of each individual property. Therefore, landscaping of setbacks is the
responsibility of property owners. (The project does not meet criteria of the program bases
upon the above information)
3. Winsper Homeowners' Association - $15,699.84: The project involves renovation and
landscape beautification of neighborhood entrance. Clearly, there would be immediate
improvement along the Talbot Road corridor and the surrounding detention pond; there are
too many unconfirmed volunteers for the size and expense of the project. It is not clear
what types of plants are being used, how many, size at maturity, and spacing. Cost
estimates for the project need clarification. It is recommended that the residents work with
City staff in resolving all issues and apply in the next round of grants. (The project does
not meet the criteria a, c, d, f.)
NEWSLETTER GRANTS:
Staff recommends approval of funding for the following administrative newsletter
applications:
1. Falcon Ridge Homeowners' Association - $137.00: For annual printing expenses for a
newsletter printed and mailed quarterly.
2. Kennydale Neighborhood Association - $2,000.00: For annual printing expenses for
newsletter printing and postal expenses for a quarterly newsletter.
3. Tiffany Park Homeowners' Association - $89.00: For annual printing expenses for a
newsletter printed and mailed annually.

SUBJECT: Process for Approving Additional Neighborhood Grant
Funding for an Existing Project
ISSUE:
Should the Council adopt a process to allow administrative approval of cost overruns on
Neighborhood Grant projects?
RECOMMENDATION:
During each round of grant awards, allocate from within the initial $50,000
appropriation, contingency funds to allow additional funding for up to 10 % of the
estimated total project cost for all grants approved in one funding cycle. The total
neighborhood program grant budget of $50,000 would fund all projects and
contingencies.
• Pay for cost overruns from the contingency fund only if the project meets the following
criteria:
1. The neighborhood group has sufficient "sweat equity" to cover the additional amount;
2. The request is made in writing or by e-mail and approved by staff prior to expenditure
of the additional amount;
3. The need for additional funding results from unforeseen circumstances related to a
change in materials or expertise not anticipated during the original approval process;
and
April 4, 2003
Page 2
4. The additional expenditures are needed to implement the project as approved by
Council.
Present the contingency fund request to Council each time a group of grants is proposed
for funding -approval.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
A number of neighborhood grant projects exceeded the approved budget due to unanticipated
problems encountered during construction, changes in suppliers and materials, or inadequate
estimation on the part of volunteers. The existing grant application and review process does
not provide any way to adjust the grant amount at the administrative level. In some cases,
staff was unaware of the cost overrun until all expenditures were accounted for. In several
instances, revised cost estimates were presented to Council for authorization of additional
grant funding. The last time this occurred, the Community Services Committee requested
that staff develop a mechanism to allow adjustment in the total grant amount for funded
projects.
After reviewing the overall grant amounts and expenditures, staff found that from 1999
through 2002, 11 out of 29 projects had cost overruns. Six of these projects had cost
overruns under 15 % of budget. Three were over budget by 16 to 19 %; one project was at
27.5 % and one at 37.5 %. Although the percentages of cost overrun are high in a few
instances, the. dollar amounts involved are relatively small. The largest overrun, for
example, was for traffic island beautification. The grant was approved at $781.88 but actual
expenditures were $1,075.64 amounting to a 37.5% overrun. Clearly the larger amount met
program criteria and could have been approved in the original budget.
Of the projects with cost overruns, two did not have enough recorded sweat equity to cover
the total project expenditures. A sweat equity match is required for^all grants in this
program. Without a sufficient match, the Neighborhood Program objectives, of promoting
self-help, networking and a sustainable active neighborhood could easily be undermined. A
relatively small cost overrun could result in a sweat equity requirement that could not be
legitimately satisfied. For example, a cost overrun of $200 would require an additional
match of 20 hours of labor. However the project might not have enough labor value to
legitimately meet this requirement. In such cases a neighborhood monetary match of $200
would be required. To maintain program continuity, staff recommends that all cost overrun
approvals be required to meet match requirements.
If cost overruns change the requirements for neighborhood groups, early notification is
critical to ensure that a project is still feasible and that match requirements can be met. To
improve accountability on the part of neighborhood groups, staff recommends that all
overruns be approved prior to expenditure to be eligible for reimbursement. In the past
neighborhood groups did not always check with staff prior to ordering additional supplies.
As a result the cost overrun was not detected until the invoice was presented by a local
EDNSP/Neighborhoods/Grants/Community Services/Cost Overrun Issue Paper 2003
April 4, 2003
Page 3
business. This situation can easily be corrected using better communication with
neighborhood groups and by earlier tracking of expenditures. Staff is already changing the
internal process to make this adjustment.
A contingency fund would allow the City to monitor and control program costs but would
still allow flexibility in funding cost overruns, meet program criteria and hold neighborhood
groups accountable. Although the fund amount would be based on 10 % of the total budget of
all approved projects, overruns on a project basis could exceed this threshold provided money
was still in the fund. If the last project in were to deplete the fund, staff would be required to
return to Council for authorization. In no case would the approved project budget plus the
contingency fund exceed the total program budget of $50,000 without Council authorization.
Since the majority of projects are completed within budget, depletion of the contingency fund
is not expected. Most years the projects over and under budget balance one another so that
the total amount actually approved by Council is not exceeded. The Neighborhood Grant
program so far has not used all of the $50,000 budgeted for it. Expenditure amounts over
appropriations only occurred in 1999, with $11,755 approved and $11,965 expended. In
2001, although 7 of 11 projects were over budget, total expenditures were under the
authorized amount because one grant was not undertaken ($30,702 approved and $30,085
expended). However if all projects had moved forward, a contingency fund would have been
useful. Such a fund would to allow staff to evaluate and approve legitimate overruns within
limits authorized by Council without relying on some other project being under budget.
Money remaining in the contingency fund after completion of grant projects would revert to
the grant project budget to be used during the next cycle of funding. A new contingency fund
would then be established the next time Council approves a group of projects.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that, during each cycle of neighborhood grants, a contingency fund be
established based on 10% of the total budget of all grant projects and that staff be authorized
to approve grant overruns out of this fund provided the overrun meets the approved
administrative criteria. Use of the contingency fund will benefit the Neighborhood Program
by allowing greater flexibility in addressing legitimate needs that arise during project
implementation. In addition, use of the recommended criteria is expected to promote more
accurate cost estimation at the beginning of a project, and ensure that all City expenditures
for projects meet program objectives.

STAFF CONTACT: Rebecca Lind, x6588
SUBJECT: Design Guidelines for Big Box Retail Uses
ISSUE:
There are no provisions in City Code to apply design guidelines to soften the aesthetic impacts
of big -box retail uses in most zones where they are permitted. The City Council has expressed
a desire to apply design guidelines to big -box retail uses within the City. The intent is to ensure
that future big -box developments are created subject to design guidelines that improve their
aesthetics and appearance.
RECOMMENDATION:
• Apply a use note to big -box retail uses requiring those uses located north of I-405 to
comply with the design guidelines located in RMC 4-3-100.
• Amend the applicability of the City's design guidelines in the Urban Center overlay (RMC
4-3-10013) to include big -box retail uses in the industrial zones and the CA zone north and
west of I-405.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
City Council has expressed a desire to apply design guidelines to big -box retail uses within the
City. The intent is to ensure that future big -box developments are created subject to design
guidelines that improve their aesthetics and appearance. The definition of big -box retail use in
Title 4 of the City's development regulations is:
H:\EDNSP\Title IV\Multiple Zone Amends\Design Guidelines\Big-Box Retail\Council issue paper on big -box
design.doc
April 9, 2004
Page 2
RETAIL, BIG -BOX: An indoor retail or wholesale user who occupies no
less than seventy five thousand (75,000) square feet of gross floor area,
that typically requires high parking -to -building area ratios. Big -box retail
buildings are typically single -story structures, with a mass that stands
more than thirty (30) feet tall. Big -box retail/wholesale sales can include,
but are not limited to, membership warehouse clubs that emphasize bulk
sales, discount stores, and outlet stores. This definition excludes vehicle
sales, outdoor retail sales, and adult retail uses.
For comparison, the Title 4 definition of "Retail Sales" is included:
RETAIL SALES: Establishments within a permanent structure engaged
in selling goods or merchandise to the general public for personal or
household consumption and rendering services incidental to the sale of
such goods. This definition includes multi -story retail use buildings
greater than seventy five thousand (75,000) square feet that have a
minimum of two (2) stories dedicated to retail sales. This definition also
includes department stores, retail shops, grocery stores and large format
retailers developing using a multi -story format. This definition excludes
adult retail uses, vehicle sales, one-story big -box retail, outdoor retail
sales, eating and drinking establishments, and taverns.
Although consumers are fond of them, and they can generate a large amount of retail sales tax
revenue, big -box retail uses can also be large and bulky with a large amount of surface parking
to serve the use. The City's Employment Area Valley (EAV), particularly south of I-405, is an
ideal area for such a use. However, outside of the Employment Area Valley (EAV), and in the
portion of the EAV north of I-405, design guidelines could be applied to new big -box retail
uses to soften their impact on the surrounding environment.
The City developed design guidelines that address the impacts of big -box retail uses as part of
the Boeing Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone process in 2003. Design guidelines
developed, either apply to the entire Urban Center, or to specific districts. As a result, big -box
retail uses that are permitted in the Urban Center — North 1 zone (UC-NI), are required to
comply with design guidelines applicable to the entire Urban Center ("All Districts") or to
"District C" of the Urban Center Design Overlay District.
Big -box retail uses are currently permitted in the Light Industrial (IL), Medium Industrial (IM),
Heavy Industrial (IH), and Commercial Arterial (CA) zones. Design guidelines are not
applicable in any of these zones. The Commercial Office Residential (COR) zone contains a
note that permitted big -box retail uses on the Fry's property when that property was zoned
COR3. It is now zoned UC-N1 and is covered by the UC-N1 standards.
USE TABLE AMENDMENTS: Staff recommends applying a use note to big -box retail uses
requiring those uses located north of I-405 to comply with the design guidelines of District `C'
of the Urban Center Design Overlay. District `C' already includes design guidelines specific to
big -box retail uses. The "P72" can be deleted from the big -box retail/COR cell of the Zoning

RMC 4-2-080 USE TABLE NOTES:
72. Big -box retail to be -permitted 2n the GOR 3 Zone, east ^f GardeR AveRue N
and nerth of N. 8th Street. uses located north and west of 1-405 are subject to
compliance with Urban Center Design Overlay regulations applicable to District `C' as
detailed in RMC 4-3-100.
The proposed amendment would require big -box retail uses planned for the areas north and
west of I-405 to comply with District `C' of the City's existing design guidelines. This set of
design guidelines includes specific guidelines for big -box retail uses.
DESIGN GUIDELINE AMENDMENTS: Staff recommends adding language to the
applicability section of the City's Urban Center Design Overlay District that includes big -box
retail uses in the CA, IL, IM, and IH zones. The proposed language would be similar to that in
the new note #72:
RMC 4-3-100 URBAN CENTER DESIGN GUIDELINES
B. APPLICABILITY:
1. This Section shall apply to all attached residential development,
commercial/residential mixed use, and retail development in the
Residential Multi -Family Urban (RM-U), Residential Multi -Family
Traditional (RM-T), Urban Center — North (UC-N 1), Urban Center —
North 2 (UC-N2) and Center Downtown (CD) zones as depicted on
the Urban Center Design Overlay District Map shown in subsection
B6 of this Section. This Section shall also apply to big -box retail uses
located north and west of 1-405 in the Commercial Arterial (CA), Light
Industrial (IL), Medium Industrial (IM), or Heavy Industrial (IH) zones.
April 9, 2004
Page 4
2. Where specified as applicable to District'A' as shown on the
Urban Center Design Overlay District Map in subsection B6 of this
Section, provisions of this Section shall apply to all attached
residential development and commercial/residential mixed use
development in the Residential Multi -Family Urban (RM-U) and the
Center Downtown (CD) Zones.
3. Where specified as applicable to District'B' as shown on the
Urban Center Design Overlay District Map in subsection B6 of this
Section, provisions of this Section shall apply to all attached
residential development in the Residential Multi -Family Traditional
(RM-T) zone.
4. Where specified as applicable to District'C' as shown in the Urban
Center Design Overlay District Map in subsection B6 of this Section,
provisions of this Section shall apply to all residential, retail, mixed
use, and commercial development in the Urban Center — North. Big -
box retail uses located north and west of 1-405 within the Commercial
Arterial (CA), Light Industrial (IL), Medium Industrial (IM), or Heavy
Industrial (IH) zones must comply with design guideline provisions
required under District 'C' of this Section.
The proposed amendments would require big -box retail developments that are proposed north
and west of I-405 to comply with design guidelines applicable to District `C' of the Urban
Center Design Guidelines. As drafted, big -box retail developments proposed east or south of I-
405 would not need to comply with the design guidelines. Areas that would not be affected by
design guideline requirements include:
1. The Employment Area Valley (EAV) only south of I-405.
2. The Commercial Arterial (CA) zoned properties located just east of I-405 on SR-169,
Maple Valley Highway. This property currently contains a hotel and restaurant.
3. The Commercial Arterial (CA) zoned properties located just east of I-405 at the NE 44th
Street exit. These properties include some light industrial uses, a self -storage facility, a
McDonalds, some multi -family, as well as some vacant parcels.
4. Light Industrial properties located near NE 01 Street, east of I-405. This property
includes some self -storage, the Renton Technical College, King County Public Health
and District Court facilities, as well as City and County maintenance shops.
It should also be noted that based upon the current definition of big -box retail sales use, the
requirement that a use comply with design guidelines will not apply to structures over 75,000
square feet in size that have more than one story in height or large structures that are less than
75,000 square feet. However, it is unlikely that multi -story department stores will occur in the
Commercial Arterial (CA) or any of the industrial zones within the City. Large, box -like retail
Apri19, 2004
Page 5
structures that do not meet the definition of "big -box retail" are allowed in the CA zone city-
wide, and in the Employment Area Valley in all zones. They are more likely to occur in areas
with larger land holdings such as the properties east of I-405 at NE 44th Street. If the City is
interested in establishing design criteria for these retail uses, an additional amendment to the
"retail use" portion of the code will be necessary.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The petitioners submitted this petition to the City Clerk on March 8, 2004 and the signatures were
certified by the King County Department of Assessments on March 16, 2004. The proposed
26.14-acre annexation site is located in Renton's Potential Annexation Area immediately east of
the Maplewood Estates subdivision. It is bounded by SE 134th Street, if extended, on the north,
1561h Avenue SE on the east, 152nd Avenue SE, if extended on the west, and SE 136th Street on
the south. It is designated as Residential Low Density on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map
and is within the R-4 Overlay District. A maximum of 4 units per net acre is allowed in this
district.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Council set May 3, 2004 for a public meeting to consider the 10% Notice of Intention to
Commence Annexation Proceedings petition and future zoning for the proposed Maplewood East
Annexation.
►a
If Council accepts the 10% Notice of Intention petition staff recommend that it authorize circulation
of a 60% Direct Petition, based upon assessed value, that specifies on its face that future zoning will
be R-4 (maximum 4 units per net acre) and that existing and future property owners will have to
assume their fair share of the City's outstanding indebtedness, the same as all other property owners
within the City.

SUBJECT: Maplewood East Annexation - 10% Notice of Intention to
Commence Annexation Proceedings Petition
ISSUE:
Whether the City should authorize the circulation of a 60% Direct Petition to annex
approximately 26-acres in the East Renton Plateau portion of its Potential Annexation Area?
If the Council authorizes the circulation of the 60% Direct Petition to Annex, whether the site
should be prezoned to R-4 (maximum 4 units per net acre) and, whether property owners
should be required to assume their fair share of the City's outstanding indebtedness?
Whether the City should assume an estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost
of $27,773 knowing that at full development the net fiscal impact of an estimated 86 dwelling
units would be a modest surplus of ± $7,218 per year?
RECOMMENDATION:
• Council accept the 10% Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Proceedings petition
for the proposed 26.14-acre Maplewood East Annexation and authorize the circulation of a
60% Direct Petition to Annex subject to the following provisions:
■ that the non -street portions of the annexation area be zoned R-4 (maximum of 4
units per net acre) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map
designation (RLD), upon annexation; and
■ that property owners within the annexation area assume their fair share of the City's
outstanding indebtedness.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The City received the 10% Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Proceedings petition
on March 8, 2004 and this was certified by the King County Department of Assessments on
March 16, 2004 as having signatures of property owners representing at least 10% of the
annexation area's assessed value. The proposed petition has been circulated to various City
departments and divisions for their comments. These are incorporated below. Staff has also
prepared a fiscal impact analysis that is made a part of this issue paper.
1. Location: The26.14 acre rectangular shaped Maplewood East Annexation site is located
immediately east of the Maplewood East Subdivision in the City, south of SE 134`h Street,
if extended, west of 1561h Avenue SE, and north of SE 136`h Street. It includes the abutting
right-of-ways of SE 136`h Street, 156`h Avenue SE, and 152"d Avenue SE (Figure 1).
2. Assessed Value: The assessed value at current development is $2,288,000. At full
development this is estimated to increase to $29,760,000 based upon an average assessed
value of $381,500 (Fiscal Worksheet).
3. Natural Features: The site slopes downward from its northeast corner to its southwest
corner at approximately a 6% slope (Figure 4). No wetlands or streams are known to exist
on the site.
4. Existing Land Uses: Existing development includes eight existing single-family dwelling
units and two vacant parcels.
5. Existing Zoning: King County zoning is R-4 with a base density of four units per gross
acre and up to six units per acre with incentives and transfer of density credits.
6. Comprehensive Plan: Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject parcel
Residential Low Density (RLD) with an R-4 Overlay District. Zoning under this
designation is a maximum of 4 units per net acre.
7. Public Services: All responding departments and divisions noted that the proposed
annexation represents a logical extension of their respective services and systems.
a. Water Utility. The subject site is located within the water service area of Water District
90 by agreement under the East King County Coordinated Water System Plan. A
certificate of water availability from this district will be required prior to the issuance of
development permits following annexation to the City. The District must provide
adequate water supply and pressure for new development with the City and must meet
Renton's standards for fire protection and domestic water service.
b. Wastewater Utility. The area is not currently served by sewer. Sewer exists, however
to the west in the Maplewood Estates subdivision which was annexed into the City in
1998. Sewers would most likely be extended by a combination of developer extension,
local improvement districts and City capital improvement projects.
c. Parks. The City has a shortfall of both neighborhood and community parkland in this
area. King County owns approximately 39 acres of land set aside for future parks,
April 5,.2004
Page 3
cater -corner, to the southwest of the annexation site. It also has approximately 14 acres
similarly set aside for future parks approximately 800 feet to the north of the subject
site. In the past the County has expressed an interest in conveying these properties to
the City, with their annexation. Development of the parkland would occur at the City's
expense. Parks' staff recommends re -initiating negotiations for the transfer of these
parklands to help offset the growing local shortfall. The projected cost of acquiring and
developing parkland to a level consistent with the service levels in the City's
Comprehensive Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan is an estimated $27,773.
d. Fire. The area is currently served by the City under contract with Fire District #25 so
no change in service is anticipated.
e. Surface Water Utility. The annexation site is located within the Lower Cedar River
Basin with the subject site draining into Orting Hills Creek which discharges into the
Cedar River at SE Jones Road. Staff note that there are erosion, water quality and fish
habitat problems with this sub -basin. Most of the downstream drainage course is
currently in King County except for a portion of 152nd Avenue SE, which drains into a
stormwater pond in Maplewood Estates. Staff notes that future development will be
required to comply with the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual Level 2
flow control and water quality requirements, or, other higher standards that are adopted
at the time of development. Although water currently sheet flows onto private
properties, Surface Water does not anticipate future problems if adequate stormwater
design standards are met.
f. Transportation. Transportation Systems staff note that 156`h Avenue SE would most
likely have to be widened requiring some dedication of right-of-way. Similarly,
pavement thickness along 156`h Avenue S and SE 136`h Street abutting the proposed
annexation will have to be increased to meet City of Renton standards. New
development will likely bear the costs of providing new paving, curbs, gutters,
sidewalks and street lighting. Transportation staff recommends that 156`h Avenue SE
not be included in this annexation.
g. Public Works Maintenance. The estimated cost of road maintenance now is $500 and at
full development it would be approximately $9,000 per year. New development would
bear the cost of constructing new streets with curbs, gutters, sidewalks and street
lighting.
h. Police. The estimated cost for police services would be $54,990 at full development.
This is based upon an estimated population of 195 people and a per capita cost of $282
per person.
i. Other. There is a potential non -conforming outdoor storage facility on the larger
northern two of the site. Staff has notified the annexation proponent that this use, if
confirmed to be non -conforming use, will have to be removed prior to annexation.

ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION:
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:
The annexation policies generally support the proposed annexation. The subject
properties are within Renton's Potential Annexation Area and are subject to
development pressure (Policies LU-378 and LU-380). The area is available for
urbanization under the King County Comprehensive Plan, zoning and subdivision
regulations (Policy LU-380). Renton is the logical provider of urban infrastructure
and services to the area (Policy LU-383). Policy LU-388 states that, in general, the
greater the contiguity with the city limits, the more favorable the annexation. The
area proposed for annexation is adjacent to the city limits along approximately 20%
of its perimeter, in this case. It is anticipated that future annexations will eventually
surround it. Proposed boundaries are also generally identifiable in the field (Policy
LU-388).
2. Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives:
(from RCW 36.93.180)
a. Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities;
The proposed annexation would cause no disruption to the larger community.
b. Use of physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water,
highways, and land contours;
Except for the northern boundary, boundaries follow existing streets. The
northern boundary abuts the Willowbrook Lane Subdivision.
c. Creation and preservation of logical service areas;
Not applicable. The site is located in Water District 90's service area and
Renton's wastewater service area.
d. Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries;
The proposed boundaries for this annexation are regular.
e. Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and encouragement
of incorporations of cities in excess of ten thousand population in heavily
populated urban areas;
Not applicable.
f. Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts;
Not applicable.
g. Adjustment of impractical boundaries;
April 5, 2004 IC°
Page 5
The proposed boundaries will result in a somewhat more irregular city limit, but
this is not considered to be impractical, and in light of the number of
annexations now occurring in the area it will likely only be interim.
h. Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities or towns of
unincorporated areas which are urban in character, and
Annexation is consistent with King County's urban designation for this area
and previous efforts at incorporation were determined to be infeasible.
i. Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long term
productive agricultural and resource use by a comprehensive plan adopted by
the county legislative authority.
Not applicable. No portions of the proposed annexation area are rural, or
designated for long-term productive agricultural use in the King County
Comprehensive Plan.
CONCLUSION:
The proposal is generally consistent with both City policies and Boundary Review Board
objectives for annexation. No impediments to the provision of City services to the area have
been identified. A more detailed fiscal analysis may be carried out later if the 10% Notice of
Intention to Commence Annexation Proceedings petition is accepted.

SUBJECT: Merritt II Annexation 50150 Direct Petition
ISSUE:
Whether the City should accept the 50150 Direct Petition to Annex for the Merritt II
Annexation as proposed; and
Whether the Council should authorize the Administration to prepare and forward the Notice of
Intent package to the Washington State Boundary Review Board for King County to begin their
45-day review period?
RECOMMENDATION:
• Accept the 50/50 Direct Petition to Annex for the Merritt II Annexation as proposed, and
• Authorize the Administration to prepare and forward the Notice of Intent package for this
annexation to the Washington State Boundary Review Board for King County.
"XWMzeliu-1 IM-1y r:�c�•�
The applicant submitted their expanded application for this annexation on October 29, 2003
with a 10% Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Proceedings petition. Council
considered this request on December 22, 2003 and authorized the circulation of the new 50/50
Direct Petition to annex. Because the site was prezoned in 1996 to R-1, the Council did not
have to consider future zoning for the 20.62-acre site. On March 23, 2003 the King County
Department of Assessments notified the City that they had certified that there were signatures
on the petition representing a majority of acreage in the annexation area. On March 29, 2003
the King County Department of Executive Services, Records, Elections and Licensing Services
EDNSP/PAA/Merritt IU50/50 Direct Petition Issue Paper.doc
April 12, 2004
Page 2
Division notified the City that they had certified that there were signatures representing a
majority of the registered voters in the annexation area.
Because the 20.6-acre site was prezoned R-1 in 1997 after required public hearings, future
zoning has already been determined and will be applied upon annexation. Staff conducted a
fiscal analysis for this site and determined that at full development (assuming five existing
homes and 12 new homes) that there would be net fiscal positive impact of $2,038 to the City.
Future parks acquisition and development costs were estimated at a one-time cost of $11,927,
based upon an estimated future population of 43 residents.
CONCLUSION:
The new 50/50 Direct Petition to Annex for this 20.62-acre annexation has been certified as
sufficient by King County Records, Elections and Licensing Services and the King County
Department of Assessments. Property owners have agreed to assume their fair share of the
City's existing outstanding indebtedness and the site was prezoned R-1, along with other
properties in the County's Greenbelt/Urban Separator land use designation, in 1997.
The subject annexation would appear to be in the City's best interest and general welfare since
it furthers City business goals and is generally consistent with City annexation policies.

TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Council President
City Council Members
VIA: Mayor Jesse Tanner
FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator KX
Economic Development, Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning
Department
STAFF CONTACT: Don Erickson (x-6581)
SUBJECT: Prouosed Merritt II Annexation 10% Notice of Intent Petition
ISSUE:
The City is in receipt of a Notice of Intent to annex approximately 20.59-acres to the City of
Renton by direct petition (Figure 1, Vicinity Map). State law requires that the Council hold a
Public Meeting with the annexation proponents to decide whether to accept, reject or
geographically modify the proposal, whether to require the assumption of bonded indebtedness,
and, whether to require the simultaneous adoption of zoning.
RECOMMENDATION:
On the basis of the following analysis, the Administration recommends that Council accept the
Notice of Intent. If Council concurs with this recommendation, the Administration recommends
that Council take the following actions (pursuant to RCW 35A.14.120):
• Authorize the circulation of the 50% Petition to Annex for the proposed expanded
annexation;
• Require that property owners within the proposed annexation area assume a proportional
share of the City's outstanding indebtedness.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The applicants originally proposed a much smaller annexation, now referred to as Merritt I so as
not confuse it with the current proposal. This annexation request was for 4.89 acres and only
included the easternmost parcel of the five parcels now under consideration. The applicant for
the former annexation has requested that it be withdrawn concurrently with the authorization to
circulate the 50% petition for the Merritt II annexation. Because the annexation site was
prezoned R-1 in 1997, there is no need to address future zoning at this time. Upon annexation, R-
1 zoning would automatically be applied.
Merritt I1 Annexation 10% Notice of Intent
12/01/03
2
Location: The proposed 20.59 acre irregularly shaped Merritt II is located northwest of
the Stonegate Subdivision. It is bounded by Lyons Avenue NE on the east, SE 100d'
Street, if extended, on the south, and approximately 142nd Avenue SE, if extended, on the
west.
2. Assessed Value: The assessed valuation with current development is $1,953,300.
Natural Features: The site generally slopes from a high point in the southwest corner of
127.87 meters to a low point of 93.78 meters near SE May Valley Road. A ridge runs
diagonally through the middle of the site with plateaus in the southwest, north and eastern
portions. The area is considered to be within a high erosion hazard area. May Creek
intersects the northern tip of the 20.59 acre site.
4. Existing Land Uses: Existing development includes five single-family detached
dwellings with one dwelling on each of the five parcels that make up the annexation site.
5. Existing Zoning: As noted above the proposed annexation was included in an earlier
(1997) prezoning of this area to the R-1 zone (1 du/net acre), pursuant to RCW
35.A.14.330 and RCW 35.A.14.340.
6. Comprehensive Plan: Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject annexation
area Residential Low Density (RLD) (formerly Residential Rural). This designation is
consistent with the existing R-1 prezoning since it allows three zones in this area: RC
(Resource Conservation) at 1 du/10 acres; R-1; and R-5 zoning.
Public Services: All responding departments and divisions noted that the proposed
annexation appears to represent a logical extension of their respective services and
systems.
• Water Utility: The two largest of the four western parcels of this proposed
annexation are in Renton's Water Utility service area. The eastern (Merritt) parcel is
in Water District No. 90's service area and northern two smaller parcels are in the
Coal Creek Utility District water service boundary. No additional staff is anticipated
as a result of this annexation.
Surface Water: The proposed annexation is located in the Green Creek sub -basin of
the May Creek Basin. The site drains to the May Valley portion of May Creek,
where staff not there are existing flooding, water quality and fish habitat problems.
May Creek flows across the northern tip of the proposed annexation. Because the
City adopted the May Creek Basin Plan which requires full mitigation for future
increases in surface water runoff from new development draining into May Valley,
future development may have to comply with the 1998 King County Surface Water
Design Manual flow control standards. No additional staff is anticipated as a result
of this annexation.
Wastewater: The City is the designated sewer service provider for the East Renton
Plateau PAA.
• Parks: Staff notes that there currently is a shortfall of parks, trails and recreation
facilities in the area. They believe that there is a need for both a community and
neighborhood park in the area. Staff have calculated an estimated one time cost of
$15 as the fair share cost that could be attributed to this annexation, above and
beyond revenues that might accrue to the City from mitigation fees.

11/26/03
• Police: The Police Department supports the proposed boundaries of this annexation
but note that this, like all annexations, will likely increase the number of calls for
service. The accumulative impact of these annexations could eventually require
additional staff.
• Public Works Maintenance: The annual estimated cost of maintaining new streets
within the proposed annexation area is $2,644. This assumes approximately 2,115
linear feet of new roads to serve an estimated 17 homes in the area.
Transportation: The Transportation Systems Division reported that the proposed
annexation raised no concerns for them. This because the costs of upgrading existing
access streets serving the proposed annexation and those within it would be borne by
those developing properties here, rather than the City. The only expenses the City
would incur from a transportation standpoint would be those associated with new
signage and pavement markings, street lighting and maintenance costs.
ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION:
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:
The annexation policies generally support this proposed annexation. The subject
properties are within Renton's Potential Annexation Area and are subject to development
pressure (Policies LU-378 and LU-380). The area is available for urbanization under the
King County Comprehensive Plan, zoning and subdivision regulations. Renton is the
logical provider of urban infrastructure and services to the area (Policy LU-385). Policy
LU-388 states that, in general, the greater the contiguity with the city limits, the more
favorable the annexation. The proposed area for annexation abuts the city boundary on
only about 20 % of its perimeter. Future annexations nearby, as a consequence of this
annexation are expected to have a much higher percentage of their perimeters abutting
the City limits.
2. Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives:
a. Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities;
The proposed annexation does not split or change existing neighborhoods. The
Stonegate neighborhood to the east will not be impacted by this annexation and all
property owners within the proposed annexation have signed the 10% Notice of
Intent Petition to Commence Annexation. At an existing density of one unit per four
acres there is no established "neighborhood" per se, in this unincorporated area.
b. Use of Physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water, highways,
and land contours;
The proposed annexation abuts the City of Renton along its eastern boundary and a
portion of its southern boundary. The shape of this proposed annexation the result of
the accumulated shapes of the five parcels that make it up.
c. Creation and preservation of logical service areas;
The proposed annexation area is split with the western four parcels within the Renton
School District and the eastern (Merritt) parcel within the Issaquah School District.
Similarly the western four parcels are within Fire District No. 25 and the eastern
parcel is within Fire District No. 10. A similar situation occurs with water service
with the western four parcels within Renton's Water Service Area and the eastern
H:TDNSP\PAA\Annexaions\Merritt #2U 0% Issue Paper.doc\d
Merritt II Annexation 10% Notice of Intent
11/26/03
(Merritt) parcel in Water District No. 90's water service area. All five parcels are
within Renton's Wastewater Service Area with the nearest sewer line in the Lyons
Avenue NE right-of-way. These boundaries have been approved by the various
districts and adopted by King County.
d. Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries;
The proposed boundaries are not "abnormally" irregular. In order to not adversely
impact existing neighborhoods yet provide access to city services and in particular
wastewater, these boundaries are reasonable for the interim. We anticipate future
annexations will infill any existing gaps or indentations.
e. Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and encouragement of
incorporations of cities in excess of ten thousand population in heavily populated
urban areas;
Not applicable.
f. Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts;
There are no known inactive special purpose districts in this area.
g. Adjustment of impractical boundaries;
4
This annexation is not being proposed to adjust what are considered to be impractical
boundaries.
h. Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities or towns of unincorporated
areas which are urban in character; and,
King County has designated this area for urban development because of its location
within the Urban Growth Area boundary. The county has also indicated that it wants
to divest itself from providing urban services to these unincorporated urban areas.
i. Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long term
productive agricultural and resource use by a comprehensive plan adopted by the
county legislative authority.
Not applicable. No portions of the this proposed annexation are designated for long
term productive agricultural use in either the King County or Renton Comprehensive
Plans.
CONCLUSION:
The proposal is essentially consistent with City policies related to annexation as well as Boundary
Review board objectives and criteria for annexations. No impediments to the provision of City
services to the area have been identified. The City already provides fire services to Fire District
No. 25, under contract, for example, so there should be no change in service for the four parcels
currently served by this district. Water service will be provided by the City to the western four
parcels and District No. 90 will provide service to the eastern (Merritt) parcel. School district
boundaries will not change as a result of this proposed annexation.
An initial fiscal analysis was conducted by staff for this proposed annexation. Assuming an
assessed value of $400,000 per new home, it indicated an annual surplus of $2,208 to the City
under current projected revenues and costs, and a one time estimated cost of $10,866 for parks
acquisition and/or improvements. A more detailed analysis may be conducted following receipt
of the County's certification of the 50% Petition to annex, if Council authorizes its circulation.

STAFF CONTACT: La' y ude, Deputy Chief
SUBJECT: Database Technician Intern Modification
ISSUE:
The Database Technician Intern position was created and funded as a non -regular position in
2003 to support the Fire Departments new records system. However, this position was created as
a non -regular position and should have been created as a Limited -term position, eligible for
benefits.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
This "non -regular" position was created as a three-year resource to provide support so that our
regular Database Systems Technician could complete the Fire Department's Integrated Records
Management System (IRMS) project.
This position was first approved during the 2003 Budget process as part of the "New Initiative"
IRMS project. Each year the position was to be renewed in the annual budget. There is a
specific line item appropriated for this position in the Information Services Technology Budget
as detailed in the Fire Department IRMS CIP 2004 budget. The Fire Department currently has
an individual in this position.
Upon meeting with the City's Human Resources Department, the Local 2170 job classification
that fulfills the tasks related to this position is the Office Assistant III (CS-6130), grade a05.
Database Intern Technician Reclassification
Page 2 of 2
With Council approval of this position modification, the City's Human Resources and Fire
Departments will initiate a recruitment process.
RECOMMENDATION:
Replace the existing non -regular position (Database Systems Technician Intern) with an Office
Assistant III, AFSCME grade a05. The position will be designated as full-time limited term and,
with Council approval, is intended to be funded through December 31, 2005. As a limited term
