August 7, 1967 The. Honorable: Donald W. Custer, Mayor Members of the Renton .:City , Council City Hall Renton, Washington .98055 Re Donckers, Emmett J . , Appl . No . R-402-67, rezone from GS-1 .to R-2; property located at the northeast corner of the intersectionof S . ' llth St . and Morris Ave. .S. Gentlemen and Mrs . Dahlquist :. The Planning Commission reviewed the application of Emmett J . Donc- kers at its. June 28, 1967 public hearing meeting. The property in question has the following general characteristics : Total Area--12, 00.0 sq ., ft. (includes site of . existing single family residence). Proposed Use--multi-family residential. • Principal Access--Morris Ave. :S . and S . 11th ' St . Comprehensive Plan--low density multiple family ' Existing 'Zoning--GS-1 • In their review of the property; the Planning Commission studied the . area on a comprehensive basis in view of the future- development that might be expected. The following features were noted : 1 . The area is at the present time predominately single family residential.. _ While .there are many older homes in the , area, new residences have been' constructed' in the. vicinity and th'e'. area has for the most part been well maintained'. ' It was roughly estimated that the value, of existing residences in the .area 'range from approximately $10, 000 to $45, 000. 2. ': 'The :proposed development of the applicant ' s property would be for construction of .a duplex in addition 'to ' the single family ..residence.,on the existing site ' (the single family,,residence would be retained) . 'The ex- isting zoning of the property is G'S-1 which requires a' 35, 000 'sq. ft. lot area. ' 3. The block to the west of the applicant ' s property is presently zoned R-2 . This zoning, has been in' effect since , April . 23, '1957. Several of the Planning Commis- sioners indicated that the present R-2 zoning was Mayor and City Council August 7, 1967 Page 2 questionable in their minds and did not consider an extension of the R-2 zoning desirable. Inquiries re- garding the possibility of rezoning other properties in the vicinity for multiple use have been received' by the Planning Department, particularly with refer- ence to: existing vacant tracts of 'land. . 4m' Several', members of the Planning Commission also indi- cated their concern regarding the existing street development in the area and felt 'that existing streets would not handle the additional vehicular traffic that would result from the construction of apartment units in the area, and. that the density should be held at a lower level until such time as street and sidewalk improvements are. made. 5. The Planning Commission in, its.sreview of the Comprehen- sive Plan felt that future development: of this area should be for single family residential purposes and have so indicated on the. revised Comprehensive Plan presently under review by the Commission. Upon 'completion of its studies, the Planning Commission moved to deny the rezone request on 'the basis that the development was premature for the area and did not constitute good planning . The Planning Com- mission further recommended to the '.City ' Council the. R-1 classifica- tion as the appropriate zoning for the subject property. Very truly yours , Gordon Y.

Donckers appeal of Planning Commission decision in rezone denial, from GS-1 to R-2, property located at NE corner of South llth Street and Morris Avenue South. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communication from Planning Director Ericksen outlined features studied by the Planning Commission in its review of the matter with outlook to the future development that might be expected in the area, now predominantly single family residential with homes valued from $10,000.00 to $45,000.00. Concern was expressed regarding additional vehicular traffic and access, and although R-2 exists in the block to the west, extension of the R-2 was not considered desirable, it being noted that additional inquiries have been made with reference to existing vacant tracts of land in the area. Other rezone requests are anticipated if this one were granted. The R-2 zoning has existed since 1957 with no multiple construction being effected and the Commission felt that the future development of the area should be single family residential so indicating on the Comprehensive Plan presently under revision. Audience comment was invited and Mr. Donckers, 606-11th Avenue South, advised that the property now complies with Ordinances and the Comprehensive Plan and it would be just if the Council would grant the requested rezone. Mrs. Donckers added that they do have ingress and egress provisions and the area would be enhanced by the updated construction. Further comment was invited and Mr. Tony Mola, 516-11th Avenue South, read his letter of protest to the rezone as presented to the Planning Commission which stated that the proposed duplex would be detrimental to his property valuation and to that of other residences in the area. It was noted that the block in which Mr. Mola resides is zoned R-2 and no request has been filed for R-1 zoning. Inquiry followed regarding the lot size and a sketch was shown of the 12,000 sq. ft. lot with duplex unit and existing residence. It was noted that the Commission had voted unanimously 'for denial of the rezone feeling that 4 or 5 years hence would be a more appropriate timing. Mrs. Donckers inquired as to basis for determination that multiple use is premature or right for the area citing the need for hcausing for school teachers and others at the present time, deeming it discriminatory that one block is R-2 and the other restricted. Discussion ensued regarding zonings in other areas of the City and the justification of the findings of the Planning Commission in its review of best interest of a whole area rather than a single lot or block. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Morris, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Perry, seconded by Garrett, to concur in the R-2 rezone request. Hulse noted that it would seem to him to stretch a point to get a multiple unit on the lot along with the present residence and he would uphold the Planning Commission decision. Schellert noted that the Ordinance would need to state compliance of the rezone to the Comprehensive Plan and it was pointed out that the rezone to the zoning of that property across the street was before the Council at this time and not its use. Question was called for on the pending motion to grant the rezone and verbal ayes being in majority, the motion carried. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, to refer the matter to the Law and Ordinance Committee for proper Ordinance. Carried. PUBLIC HEARING: Florence B. Mathieson rezone request from R-1 to R-3 amended to R-2 on property located in vicinity of the NE corner of Sunset Blvd. North and 116th Avenue S.E. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Letter from Gordon Y. Ericksen, Planning Director, reported review of the revised rezone request by the Commission which felt that the R-2 would be more feasible than R-3 primarily due to the access problem, approval of which was now recommended to the City Council. The proposed use is in agreement with the Comprehensive Plan. Dahlquist inquired as to why the R-3 originally requested was not granted when the property is surrounded by the nursing home and 40 unit apartments. Planning Director Ericksen pointed out that the access problem was the main reason Sunset being the only one and with widening of Sunset an even greater problem might result. Applicant had indicated her intent to keep within low density use and the R-2 would therefore suffice. Moved by'Poli, seconded by Hulse, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Poli, seconded by Trimm, to concur in the Planning Commission recommendation for R-2 zoning with referral to the Law and Ordinance Committee for proper Ordinance. Carried. PUBLIC HEARING: Proposed Ordinance providing procedure for the vacation of streets and alleys; imposing processing fee and authorizing compensation to the City. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. There were no written communica- tions nor verbal comment and it was moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Schellert, that the hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Delaurenti, to refer the proposed Ordinance to the Law and Ordinance Committee. Carried. -2- July _.1g-'196r Mr. and Mrs. Emmett, J.

We believe the Planning Commission' s rejection of our rezoning request is unfair. The one protest entered is unjust and unmerited. Our rezoning request is in compliance with the City of Renton' s ordinances as well as their comprehensive plan. We wish to have the Renton Council Members review our rezoning request.

E. Corner of llth Avenue, ,Soo • % fig, Gentlemen: For personal reasons and interests, I would like to go on record as being very much opposed to the above-mentioned rezoning of property, which is on the Northeast corner of llth Avenue, So®, while my own is on the Northwest corner of the same street. It is my belief that coincident with the rezoning of said property, that the value of my own home will depreciate inasmuch as the owner plans to construct a multiple dwelling on the site. Not only do I feel that my own home's value would be lessened, • but also the value of the homes in the neighborhood generally in close proximity to the area. I would sincerely appreciate it if your Commission would thoroughly investigate this matter before approving such a rezoning request. Thank you.
