RENTON PLANNING COMMISSION
MEETING NOVEMBER 259 1964
Members present: Doug Felker, James Denzer, John Racanello , Wes Busch,
Dr. Baird Bardarson, Louis Pcretti , Dayle Garrison, Clark Teegarden.
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 :
1. CLARKE BROTHERS , APPL. NO. R-214-64 , from R®2 to B-1, of property
located on 3rd Place North between Marion Street and the alley.
Director' s report:
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 Denzers
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-l.
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 matters he stated that
an ordinance was written reclassifying several pieces of property,
which included the Callen and Weed properties and some other properties
Planning Commission
Novo 25 , 1964

for which no applications were submitted, and one property the
owner of which protested the rezoning of his property. Further,
one property on which an application had been received had been ex-
cluded. In accordance with the reversion clause then in effect ,
some of the property reverted back to its original status , R-1. How-
ever the City Attorney determined that since a change of use had
been started on part of the properties involved in the Ordinance, all
of the properties for which applications were received were legally
zoned to business. This matter has been held in a questionable statu-
since 1962.. In order to get the matter of zoning finally settled the
three owners have now filed a joint rezone application for B-l.
Chairman Felker stated that in order to grant this rezone it will
be necessary to change the Comprehensive Plan as stated by the Plan-
ning Director' s report.
Mr. Peretti recommended that if these properties are zoned to
business the zoning should extend to the Drugstore on the north,
Mr. Busch felt that the Commission is obligated to zone thee
properties to business , since they were granted the B®1 zoning, how-
ever faulty the Ordinance may have been at the time,
Chairman Felker asked if there was anyone who wished to speak on
this matter.
Mr. Martin Evans, speaking for the St. Mathews Church,stated that
they have a buyer for their property now for a business use .
Mr. Peretti ' s motion that the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map be
changed to show this area extending to the Drugstore as B-1 lost for
want of a second.
Mr. Teegarden asked why we have a Comprehensive Land Use Map if
every time a rezone is requested you are going to change the Land
Use Map.
Mr. Garrison commented that the rezoning of this area to B-1
will create more strip zoning, which he felt was not good planning.
It was then moved by Garrison, seconded by Peretti , that we
accept the Director' s report and deny the request for rezone to B-l.
Motion carried.
3. PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN MAPS
a. Mark Hokenson proyerty:
In the discussion on this proposal the members stated that
it had been the intention of the Commission to include the School
property (the old Honeydtew School site) located on the corner of
Sunset Highway and 132nd S.E. in the hearing. Mr. Jensen stated
that the other three corners should be considered at the same time.
It was moved by Denzer„ seconded by Peretti, that the hearing be
set for December 23 to consider all four corners 'includin the Hoken-
son property. This wou Inc ude t e Bale , avage and Dalpay pro-per-.
ties .an` School property. Motion carried.
b. The area on the north side of the Maple Valley Highway in
the vicinity of the Northeast 1/4 of the Southwest 1/4 of the South-
west 1/4 of Section 16-23-5 to be enlarged as Business Use on the
Land Use Map.
Director' s reports
Recommend amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan to
indicate commercial uses on property westerly and northerly of the
present mapped area. This would be a natural extension to cover
Minutes of the Rentoh'::City Council Meeting 11-9-64
COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.)
A letter from Mayor Custer requested concurrence of the Council in granting a
one year extension of compulsory retirement date, to Octobcr 1, 1965, for Frank A.
Henry, Assistant Police Chief, it being optional for uniformed personnel, under Civil
Service regulations, to retire at the age of 55. Mayor Custer advised that the policy
of the City fob^ retirement of its employees is 65 years of age.
Moved by pelaurenti, seconded by Gianini, to concur in the extension. A letter
from Chief of Police Williams likewise requested the extension. Referral to the L.-w
and Ordinance Committee was included as part of the motion which subsequently carried.
A letter from Mayor Custer submitted monthly Fund Transfer within Budget Classi-
fications for October, per RCW 35.33.120 and City of Renton Resolution No. 1232 as
follows: From: Municipal Buildings, Acct. 417, Material and Supplies, $200.31, Unto:
Municipal Buildings, Account 315, Equipment Rentals, $200.31.
A letter Faas received from Jerry Zubrod, managing editor of the Renton Chronicle,
and Mayor Custer advised that he had been asked to express Jerry's thanks to The CityClerk, Treasurer, and other Department Heads and offices with whom the Chronicle has
dealt over the past years, for the cooperation extended him in his associations therewith.
Mayor Custer advised that Mr. Zubrod has been promoted to the position of Manager-Director
of the Washington Newspaper Publishers' Association and will be located in Seattle.
A letter signed by(St. Mathews Church, )Martin E. Evans, James Weed and Fred Callen
requested that the City of Renton Zoning Map be corrected to reflect rezone of properties
in accordance with City of Renton Ordinance No. 1840, from R-1 to B-1 zoning. Moved
by Delaurenti, seconded by Poli, that the necessary changes be made as requested.
Discussion on the question ensued, Mr. Joe Keuffler, 1032 Sunset Blvd., advising
that he had not petitioned for rezone and had filed a written protest at the time of
the hearing on the matter. Mr. John Zanatta advised that he did not wish the rezone if
it would restrict building of a single family residence on the property. These properties
along with the Church property had been included in the Ordinance per legal.'description.a? =
The map had not been changed to reflect the reclassification as so described; one of the
parcels having been deleted which had been properly petitioned and two parcels added and
not petitioning.for the rezone. Mr. Fred Callen, 928 Sunset Blvd. advised that when the
petition was originally filed the single family dwelling construction was permissible ,
The Church has since requested to be included in the rezone.
Upon inquiry, following further discussion, City Attorney Shellan recommended
that the three parcels] being tax dots 5, 6 and 59' assuming they Are contiguous; be re-
considered for reclassification with the owners re-applying afid the regular fees, having
been paid once, be waived. This action would be followed by repeal of the prior ordi-
nance which is clearly erroneous. Councilman Delaurenti, advising he had not known of
the irregularities involved when making his motion withdrew same with consent of second
and moved to concur with the recommendations of the Counsellor waiving the fees for any
new rezone application for tax lots 5, 6 and 59 if the owners thereof wish to spbthit an
application • for same. The Keuffler and Zanatta properties thereby would remain R-1.
The motion carried.
A letter was read from Mayor Custer recommending, subsequent to receipt from the
John Graham Company of a revised proposal for improvements in the Central Business Dis-
trict and scheduling factors to implement the initial 701 program, the following:
1. Authorization for the Mayor to retain Mr. Charles Mattaini and Mr. Carl Dahlstrom
to appraise the properties located in the area commonly known as "site 4" .
2. Authorization for transfer of $3,500.00 from Cumulative Acct. No. 1894, the maxi-
mum to be allowed for payment of the aforesaid appraisals.
3. Authorization for the Mayor and City Attorney to negotiate in the name of the City
for purchase and/or option agreement affecting those parcels which can be acquired for
the appraisal price, each proposal for purchase to be presented to the Council for pay-
ment approval.
The following recommendations were made and it was requested that they be referred
to the Citizens Advisory Council, the Planning Commission and the Council's Committee of
the Whole for further discussion:
1. That first priority be given to acquisition of "site 4" and to further study of
plans for a new City Hall.
2. That first priority among arterial projects in the core area be given to the
connecting of Main and Mill Streets, utilizing a 100'R/W curving northward from opposite
the 'Barei property on Main Street and proceeding behind the Wood Building to a junction
with Mill Street near the present intersection of Third Avenue and Mill. This project
includes widening of Mill from Third Ave. to Bronson Way and a revision of the Mill and
Bronson way intersection.

HEARINGS °
1,9 CLARKE B.RQTHERS9 APPL. NO, Rm214®64 , from R=2 to E91 of property
located On 3rd. Place North between Marion Street and the alley.
Direotgr S rep,oft o
A. review of the Qomp.rehonsive Land Use Plan indicates this
area as suitable for multiple residential uses. Mows vor, other
properties in the immediate vicinity are presently .zoned for busies
Pass. or are used for .industrial or business purposes. If a rezone
is deemed desirable by the Commission Q it is, recommended that the
Comprehensive elan be amended to indicate commercial use for the
area lying north of Marion Street and East of Faotory Street north
to the industrial district.
Mr, Dense` 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 Nor-tp and east of Factory Street
and north of 3rd Avenue North be chars ;ed to Business Use and that
the area east of 3rd Place North north to 4th venue Forth 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.

R-215-64 ,,, of Lots 5 and 6, Weed's View Tracts from Rml to B-l.
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-
flist 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

I for which no applications were submitted, and one property the
owner of which protested the rezoning of his property. Farther,
1 one property on which an application had been received had been ex-
cluded. In accordance with the reversion clause then in effect ,
some of the property reverted back to its original status, R-1, How-
ever the City Attorney determined that since a change of use had
been started on part of the properties involved in 'the Ordinance, all
of the properties for which application's were received were legally
zoned to business . This matter has been held in a questionable status
since 1962 . In order to get the matter of zoning finally settled the
three owners have now filed a joint rezone application for B-1.
Chairman Felker stated that in order to grant this rezone it will
be necessary to change the Comprehensive Plan as stated by the Plan-
ning Director' s report,
Mr. Peretti recommended that if these properties are zoned to
business the zoning should extend to the Drugstore on the north,
Mr. Busch felt that the Commission is obligated to zone thee
properties to business , since they were granted the B-i zoning, how-
ever faulty the Ordinance may have been at the time,
Chairman Felker asked if there was anyone who wished to speak on
this matter,
Mr, Martin Evans , speaking for the St. Mathews Church,stated that
they have a buyer for their property now for a business use,
Mr. Peretti° s motion that the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map be
changed to show this area extending to the Drugstore as B-1 lost for
want of a second,
Mr. Teegarden asked why we have a Comprehensive Land Use Map if
every time a rezone is requested you are going to change the Land
Use Map,
Mr, Garrison commented that the rezoning of this area to B-1
will create more strip zoning, which he felt was not good planning.
It was then moved by Garrison, seconded by Peretti , that we
accept the Director° s report and den;the request for rezone to B-1.
Motion carried,
3. PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN MAPg
a. Mark Hokenson property
In the discussion on this proposal the members stated that
it had been the intention of the Commission to include the School
property (the old Honeyd€w School site) located on the corner of
Sunset Highway and 132nd S.E. in the hearing, Mr. Jensen stated
that the other three corners should be considered at the same time.
It was moved by Denzer$, seconded by Peretti, that the hearing be
set for December 23 to consider all four corners includin the Hoken-
son property. This woul inc u e t e ea e , avage and Dalpay proper-
ties and tie`" School property. Motion carried.
b. The area on the north side of the Maple Valley Highway in
the vicinity of the Northeast 1/4 of the Southwest 1/4 of the South-
west 1/4 of Section 16-23-5 to be enlarged as Business Use on the
Land Use Map.
Director° s report '
Recommend amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan to
indicate commercial uses on property westerly and northerly of the
present mapped area. This would be a natural extension to cover
