t COMMUNICATIONS: (Cont.)
A letter was read from Del Bennett, Traffic Engineer, requesting permission to
expend funds from Cumulative Reserve Fund 1184 for purchase of ornamental steel
poles to be used for the traffic signal installation located at the intersection
of Third Avenue and Williams Street which will initiate the program of under-
ground wiring in the central business district. Moved by Poli, seconded by
Hulse, to concur in the request. Discussion ensued regarding amount to be
required and whether there'is other need for the $1,369., It was pointed out
that the purpose is a proper use of the fund but that perhaps the Ways and
Means Committee should be consulted as to whether the money has been earmarked
for any other purpose. Moved by Dahlquist, seconded by Schellert, to refer
the matter to the Street and Alley Committee and Ways and Means Committee to
investigate and report back. The motion to refer, taking precedence, was carried.
A letter from Mrs. Donald Hamblin, President, League of Women Voters, advised
that the Board of Directors of the Renton League has appointed Mrs. Robert Plut
as official observer at meetings of the City Council. Members of Mrs. Plut's
Committee will serve as alternates from time to time. Mrs. Plut was introduced
by Mayor Custer and he advised he had acknowledged the observance by letter to
President Hamblin.
A letter from Planning Director Ericksen submitted recommendations of the Planning
Commission from its meeting of April 13, 1966 as follows:
Rezone Applications: King County Public Hospital District #l, Appl. R-303-66
requesting rezone from GS-1 to R-4 of property located at the intersection of 4th .
Avenue North and E Street, extending north to 5th Avenue North and East to I Street.
The Comprehensive Plan indicates the area as potential multiple residential use
and the Commission in regard for adjacent.. single family residential uses recommended
the following which was now recommended to the Council: From GS-1 to R-4: Lots 1, 2,
3, 8, 9 and 10 of Block 1 and Lots 1, 2, 3, of Block 6, all in Rainier Acres.
From GS-1 to R-3: Lots 4 and 7 of Block 1; Lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of Block 6•;
and Lots 1 and 10 of Block 7, all in Rainier Acres. Moved by Schellert, seconded by
Dahlquist, to concur in the recommendation of the Planning Commission as read.
Upon request, Mr.. Ericksen displayed a drawing of the area ar,� designated the
parcels involved. Mr. Chuck Dillon, 1214 I Street inquired as to the height of
the proposed structures and expressed his objection to view restriction stating
his opinion that the County could gain just as much by selling as residential
property. Upon inquiry Mr. Ericksen advised both the School District and the
Park Board had been consulted and had felt the cost prohibitive for consideration.
The Commission had felt the use would not be substantially detrimental and it is
in agreement with the Comprehensive Plan and was therefore recommended. Councilman
Perry requested an opportunity to visit the area prior to casting a vote and moved
that the matter be tabled one week. The motion was seconded by Hulse and carried.
'ezone Application: Bruce Buck, Appl. R-306-66 from G7200 to R-4 - property
located on 116th Avenue S.E. between Sunset Blvd. E. and 12th Avenue North.
The Comprehensive Plan indicates multiple family residential use for the arca.
The Commission in concern for adjacent properties, recommended R-3 rather than
R-4 which the applicant agreed to accept and this was the Cott nieeion's•2recommenda-
tion to the CounciL. A letter from Mr. M. M. (Ted) Meredith expressed disapproval
with the Planning Commission decision on this rezone and with adjoining property
owners, wished to object to the deprivation of privacy and restriction of view.
It was requested that single family zoning be retained and pointed out that there
is only one access to the Bruce Buck property. R-2 was suggested as an alternate
rezone if a rezone is deemed to be warranted. Moved by Poll, seconded by Dahlquist,
to concur in the Planning Commission recommendations. Upon inquiry by Garrett for
further information, Planning Director Ericksen displayed a map of the area and
designated the location of the subject property. Garrett inquired as to comparison
between this and the Riley property from a professional viewpoint and Mr. Ericksen
advised that the Buck area is ready for such development at the present time being
close in proximity to shopping facilities, arterials and industrial areas and it was
felt the Riley rezone might be a bit premature, although not a great deal of difference
exists between the two. It was felt that the Buck rezone is suitable and reasonable
as proposed. The pending motinn carried.
onvention material from Chester Biesen, Executive Secretary, Association of
W.shington Cities was presented and will be on file in the office of the City
Clerk for reference. Convention Committees were listed along with the 11 Districts
of the Association.

Chairman Cordell asked for comments from the audience .
Mr_ . Meredith, 1057 G Street, stated that his property abuts
the area proposed for rezone to R-4 . He objected to the R-4
zoning, because he felt that it would be too many people for
the area, increase traffic ;and 'noise , and decrease property
values .
In reply to a question , it was stated that the Meredith proper- -
ty is presently zoned R-2 for duplexes .
The Staff report was read as follows :
The present use of the area is for single family residential .
and adjacent uses include single family uses and Highlands L .
duplexes . The Comprehensive Plan indicates the area for multi-
ple family residential use. The proposed zone would allow a
maximum. of 72 units on the property. The anticipated site de-
velopment problems tend to indicate the area as being suitable
for lower multiple use. .
Questioned if the Applicant would accept R-3 in place of the re-
quested R-4 , Mr. Bardessono stated that he would accept the R-3
at the present time.

(b) Committee report : The proposed rezone is not in agree-
ment with the Comprehensive Plan and is recommended for denial.

Mr, McFadden, the applicant , stated that he felt this is a good
- use for the property, since it is in the vicinity of. the Hospital

rnatureJ at' this time.

family residential and adjacent uses include single family uses and

for multiple family residential use. The proposed zone would
allow a maximum of 72 units on the property. The anticipated
site development problems tend to indicate the area as being suit-
able for lower multiple use.
(b) Committee report : Recommends R-3 apartment use to allow
a lower density use.
Mr, John Bardessono , representing the Applicant , asked why this

with the adjoining R-2 uses , and would generate less traffic con-
gestion at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and 116th Ave.
SE and the intersecting North Renton Interchange. He felt that
the Commission has already followed a policy of rezoning to R-3
many of the Highlands areas .

The Renton City Council
Renton, Washington
Dear. Council Members:
This letter is to voice my displeasure with last Wednesday's zoning decision by the
Renton.Planning Commission on the Bruce Buck property. . The adjoining property
owners have also voiced their displeasure.
R 3 apartments will block our own view completely, deprive us of our privacy and
lower our property value.
I understand all the other properties along 116th S.E. in this block are zoned single
family, so I appeal to you to leave the property in question zoned as it is. Single family
buildings would not be built to the extreme rear line, thus preserving the view for all.
This can be proven by looking through our windows which are several feet above ground
level.
the sale of this property is contingent on a rezoning, eilWI do not feel
that the commission realized on a real estate transaction is a worthy argument to the
opposition voiced by adjacent owners.
There are many locations in the Hilands area wherein whole blocks, with many accesses,
are available for apartments.
Relative to the property owner, I feel practically the same amount offered could be
realized in a sale for private residences.
As the Bruce Buck property is the only spot in the entire square block available for
building and as there is only one access to this property, I humbly implore you to leave
the property zoned as is and if there has to be an alternative, not to go beyond R 2.
Respectfully yours,
42,
