Committee report : Recommended denial as this would reduce the amount of parking space available in the C. B. D. Director' s report : Recommend approval provided the applicant discontinues storage display of boats in the parking area and pay into the off= street parking fund the amount required by ordinance , or enter into an agreement to- participate in any LID for the pro- vision of parking facilities which would benefit the property. The Chairman then invited comments from the Applicant. Mr. Wheeler, speaking on behalf of the property owner, indicated a willingness to consider reducing the storage area on the second story of the building to compensate for the loss of existing park- ing by the building addition . Mr. Wheeler also expressed his be- lief that adequate parking facilities exist for the building and that other parking at the Safeway Parking lot , Tradewell , and the Peoples Bank is more than adequate for the need and that parking in the store ' s parking lot is most generally available and has been for many years. Mr. Denzer stated that parking in the downtown area is crit- ical and that the granting of a variance would be contrary to the purpose' and intent of the 701 Program. Again speaking on the subject Mr. Wheeler indicated that the tenant is a stable tenant in a good location , desires to remain , but must have opportunity to expand to meet the heeds of his business. After further discussion and rebuttal the hearing was declared closed , and it *as then moved by Peretti , seconded by Racanello, to recommend to the Council the aclo ion of the Diree- tor° s report . ____ Question being called for, the motion carried. 6 .

Honorable Mayor Donald CusterVA' ll Members of the City Council Gentlemen: At the request of Mr. Charles Shane a review has been made of the facts and circumstances re- garding the zoning of properties owned by him ly- ing between the westerly boundary of Monterey Terrace and the easterly boundary of the Freeway. The following facts were determined by investiga- tion of the circumstances. a. The property as described in Ordinance No'. 1522 ,adopted by the City Council on the 2nd day of August, 1955 , was reclassified from resi- dential use RS to B-1 , Business Use District. b. The property following reclassification was used for business purposes including the I storage of, materials and the operation of an ice . house. c . Business use classification was subse- quently removed at an unknown point in time prior to 1961 . This action probably followed the acquisition by the State Highway of that portion being used for business.f d. The then existing provision of the or- dinance providing for reversion of zoning to original status if not used would not have been k applicable if the property was used for business purposes at the time of zoning or subsequent to. t After careful consideration and determination that the above facts are true , the zoning map was cor- rec.ted. on May 19 to reflect the proper zoning class- ification on the property described in Ordinance f No. 1522 , as noted earlier. i If 1- I1 f 1 w.

Ex -officio member Jack Wilson. Gerald Cordell was excused. Staff present: Planning Director David Jensen. Others present : Councilman Henry Schellert. It was moved by Racanello , seconded by Busch, to approve the Min- utes of October 28 . Motion carried. HEARINGS : to CLARKE BROTHERS , APPL. NO. R-214®64 , from R®2 to Bml, of property located on 3rd Place North between Marion Street and the alley. Director' s re ort: A review of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates this area as suitable for multiple residential uses. However, other properties in the immediate vicinity are presently zoned for busi- ness or are used for industrial or business purposes. If a rezone is deemed desirable by the Commission, it is recommended that the Comprehensive Plan be amended to indicate commercial use for the area lying north of Marion Street and East of Factory Street north to the industrial district. Mr. Denzer stated that this is an area which was left after the State Highway constructed Third Place North. He felt that business zoning would be compatible with other uses in the area. Councilman Schellert commented that in regard to the south side of Marion to 3rd North the use seems to be more adaptable to Business or Light industrial. The north side is built up with better homes , but he felt that an appraisal of the entire area should be made with a view to changing the land use map. After discussion, it was moved by Peretti, seconded by Denzer , that the area west of Third Place North and east of Factory Street and north of 3rd Avenue North be changed to Business Use and that the area east of 3rd Place North north to 4th Avenue North and west of the Railroad tracks be changed to Light Industrial use on the Land Use Map, and further, that these recommendations be set up for hearing on December 23 . Motion carried. Relative to the zoning of this area, Chairman Felker asked the Planning Director to get in touch with the Applicant to determine if he is favorable to the change from B-1 to L=1 zoning. 2. ST MATHEWS LUTHERAN CHURCH, FRED CALLEN AND JAMES WEED, APPL. NO. R-215-64 , of Lots 5 and 6 , Weed' s View Tracts from R-1 to B=1. Director' s report: The Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates the suitability of this area for residential purposes. To avoid the down-grading of this general district by the establishment and encouragment of a strip zone, it is recommended that this property be reclassified for Multiple Residential purposes only. This will not be in con- flict with nor affect the status of existing business or residen- tial uses. If this proposal is deemed desirable by the Commission it will be necessary to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Such an amendment would be contrary to the stated objectives of the Comprehensive Plan text. Mr. Jensen showed the subject area on the map. Reviewing the pertinent information and background on this matter, he stated that an ordinance was written reclassifying several pieces of property, which included the Callen and Weed properties and some other properties 1- NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING RENTON PLANNING COMMISSION RENTON, .

Mayor Custer's letter was read presenting a proposed "Memorandum of Understanding" between the Highway Commission of the State of Washington and Municipalities not financially participating in the Puget Sound Regional Transportation Planning Program. The Mayor noted that it was his understanding that in order to receive Federal financial aid for the construction of highways in our area, it will be necessary to approve this memorandum. Mayor Custer suggested that the document be referred to the Law and Ordinance Committee and/or the Street and Alley Committee for recommendation to the Council. Following the reading of this letter, Mayor Custer explained that the City is being asked to recognize the Puget Sound Regional Transportation Study and that it is being made a requirement for Federal financial assistance.

A letter from Mayor Custer was read together with a proposed resolution which must be approved by the Renton City Council before further action can be taken to implement the North Renton Interchange project. The basic content of the resolution is that the City recognizes a responsibility for the completion of the western approach to the Interchange. It was pointed out that the Bureau of Public Roads had recently informed the City they would consider participating in the costs of extending the ramp from the Interchange westerly to Park Street, but since that time the Bureau has formally declined to participate in this project. The Mayor requested Council's prompt consideration of this matter and recommended approval of the resolution. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Poli, that the proposed resolution be read and adopted. Upon inquiry from Councilwoman Dahlquistp relative to giving up on Federal Aid, the Mayor stated it is reasonably certain that no funds will be available from the Federal Government, the only recourse being the State.

Specifically, it is recommended that some provision be made within this ordinance for policemen or other City employees who have sustained serious injury while in the performance of their City duties, which injuries require convalescent time in excess of accumulated sick leave. Moved by Delaurenti, seconded by Perry, to refer this matter to the FIRE AND WATER COMMITTEE to report back. Councilwoman Dahiquist felt that this should more properly be directed to the Police and License Committee than to the Fire and Water Committee and Councilman Garrett advised that any matter can be referred to any Council Committee. The motion carried. Mayor Custer's letter was read relative to conversations with several property owners within the "Site 4" area, at which time they were advised of the appraisal figures for their properties, and announced the City's intention to purchase their property for the appraisal price. It was suggested that the Mayor and City Attorney be authorized to proceed with the purchase at the noted prices, and that the City Clerk and Mayor be authorized to sign the necessary instruments on the following properties: (1) Lot 2, except north 5' , Block 2, Town of Renton, being 5,400 sq. ft. @ $1.67 sq. ft. for a total of $9,000, which property is owned by Sydney V. and Hilda O'Neill, 204 Mill Street, Renton; and (2) West 2 of Lots 12 and 13, Block 2, Town of Renton, being 6,000 sq. ft. @ $1.60 per sq. ft. , plus house for a total of $15,000, which property is owned by Frank E.
