SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE
REPORT. CARRIED.
Public Safety Committee Public Safety Committee Chair Law presented a report regarding legislation
Police: Motorized Scooters controlling motorized scooters. It was determined that the location of operation
Regulations should be controlled, that the scooters should be muffled, that the riders be
required to wear helmets, that 13 years of age be the minimum age of operators,
and that there be a ban on operation from one half hour after sunset to one half
hour before sunrise. Other areas of concern were addressed, including speed
limits, and the requirement of a driver's license or other identifying information.
It was determined to defer this last set of topics for future review if there was a
continuing problem with motor scooters after the regulatory ordinance has been
adopted and in place for some time.
The Committee concurred in the staff recommendation that Council adopt an
ordinance regulating motor scooters relating to their place of operation, that the
motor scooters be muffled, that riders wear helmets, that 13 years of age be the
minimum age of operation, and that there be a ban on operation from one half
hour after sunset to one half hour before sunrise. The Committee further

Utilities Committee
Utilities Committee Chair Clawson presented a report regarding the request by
Utility: Water Main
First Savings Bank of Renton that the City contribute $85,235 towards the
Replacement Cost Sharing,
bank's installation of a new water main in Williams Ave. S. from S. 2nd St. to
First Savings Bank, Williams
S. 3rd St.
Ave S
The Water Utility Division has reviewed the bank's submitted total cost of
$165,230 for the waterline and determined that this cost is higher than the
City's average cost for similar projects. The Water Utility has limited
remaining budget for infrastructure improvements for economic development
projects since there is already a commitment to pay for a portion of the
infrastructure improvements in the Highlands area in conjunction with the
development of the Harrington Square project. In addition, the City will be
paying for full -width asphalt overlay of the street after the completion of the
bank's waterline and other City utilities instead of requiring the bank to overlay
half of the street.
The Committee recommended concurrence with the recommendation of the
Planning/Building/Public Works Department that Council approve the City's
contribution of $50,000 towards the installation of the waterline by First
Savings Bank instead of the requested $85,235. This proposal is consistent
June 21, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 212
with the City's priorities in supporting infrastructure improvements for
economic development projects in the Downtown and Highlands areas.
First Savings Bank may request additional funding through City Council if 50%
of the bank's final cost for the waterline exceeds the City's contribution of
$50,000 plus the City's cost for the asphalt overlay of one-half the street.
The Committee also recommended that Council authorize the funding of
$50,000 to come from the Water Utility's 2004 Capital Improvement Project
budget contingency fund for the Downtown Core Rehabilitation, account no.

Filrel Sta t")iv #Y Z
This new two-story brick building houses the fire station on
the main floor and includes offices, sleeping and eating
quarters, maintenance and operations spaces, and space for
seven fire vehicles. It is also the base station for the City's
dive and rescue team. Like all fire stations, Station #12 is a
temporary home for the fire crews that are on duty for 24
hours at a time. A crew of five, three firefighters and two
medics, rotate shifts during the week. The City's new
Emergency Coordination Center is located on the second
floor and will serve as the City of Renton's information and
command center during times of response to large-scale
emergency related events. The center is designed to operate
independently of the fire station below when activated in an
emergency and has its own kitchen and restrooms. The
building is earthquake resistant and has backup systems to
remain operational during power outages. The cost of the
station, approximately $6 million, was funded by bonds that
will be repaid from the fire mitigation fund. The new facility
replaced the current station in the Highlands, and will better
serve the public in terms of location, size, and response
time. The new station serves as the first major step toward
spurring the private redevelopment of the Highlands area.

What is a community foundation?
A community foundation is a permanent charitable organization
supported by local donors and governed by a board of citizens who
speak for the needs and well-being of the community.
THE RENTON COMMUNITY
FOUNDATION
A tax-exempt 501(c) (3) organization, the Renton
Community Foundation was established by a
group of community leaders to attract, manage
and distribute the income from gifts for the
betterment of the community. Through the
Foundation, individuals, businesses, nonprofit
organizations and private foundations have an
effective way to support the work of nonprofit
Jr organizations and groups that are addressing
critical community needs.
t
SHAPING A BRIGHTER FUTURE
" The Renton Community
Foundation is like a
community savings
account. A gift to the
foundation will provide
benefits throughout
the community for
generations."
Gary Kohlwes
People give for many reasons: to honor a friend, remember a loved one, support causes they
care about, or give back to the community that made their success possible. The Renton
Community Foundation recognizes that today's donors want to significantly impact lives
while making their giving uncomplicated as possible. Giving through the Foundation offers
flexibility, simplicity, and the knowledge that your gift will always be used in a way that is
consistent with your wishes.
Whether you contribute to an
established fund or create a new one*
for a favorite cause, you will know that
your gift will benefit generations to
come. You may remain involved with
your fund or give the Foundation
discretionary use of your gift. Either
way, you can be assured that your
funds will be used to make your dreams
for the community's future come true.
Your gift to the Renton Community
Foundation can be designated to
benefit a particular area of interest, specific programs or organizations, or the entire
community. The Foundation will work with you to match your resources with viable
community needs, whether they are related to health and human services, education,
arts and culture, the environment, children, or another special interest.
All
a -Con,
MAKING GIFTS GROW
You can give to the Renton Community Foundation in several ways —through
contributions of cash, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or real estate. Our goal is
to build significantly on initial donations to ensure long-term operational stability.
We invest the funds in cash and securities, based on recommendations from
the Investment Committee, and from Northwestern Trust, our professional
investment advisors.
By the year 2005, the Renton Community
Foundation hopes to be able to distribute over
$1 million annually to the community, as well as
provide an important service to individuals and
families who wish to invest in Renton's future.

Community Foundation and its key founders— the Renton Chamber
Foundation, Renton Rotary Foundation, Renton Technical College
Foundation, Valley Medical Center, Renton School District, City of
Renton, and the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce —have
shaped a vision for helping an entire community come together to
make our city a better place to live. With your contribution, you can

CITY OF RENTON
MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 21, 2004
TO: Don Persson, Council President
Renton City Councilmembers / �
VIA: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor 1\ (AJ
FROM: Dennis Culp, Community Services Administrator
SUBJECT: Completion of the Pavilion Renovation
ISSUE:
Should the City Council accept the Pavilion Renovation Project as substantially complete
and authorize the start of the 60-day lien period?
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Council concur in the acceptance of the completed project and the start of the 60-
day lien period. After the 60-day period the retained amount of $119,272.70 will be
released upon verification that all taxes have been paid and all liens resolved.
BACKGROUND:
• The Pavilion Renovation Construction Project was started on May 1, 2003, and
was substantially complete on April 8, 2004.
• The Contractor completed the work in accordance with the plans and
specifications, according to both the City Inspectors and the Architect's
construction supervision reports.
• There are two punch list items remaining: (1) completion of the sunscreen and
(2) installation of the exterior sign armature lights. Completion of these items
was delayed due to manufacturing and shipping delays on the part of suppliers.
The interim solution is to remove these items from the construction contract and
receive a credit. Simultaneously, they will be put under separate contract with
Edifice for the same amount of money.
• The original construction contract amount was $2,242,077.91 and the final
contract amount was $2,595,373.03.
• The 41 Change Orders total $353,295.14, which represents 16% worth of
change orders. Mithun absorbed over 30.1 % of the cost of these change orders
($108,135.84), so the City's cost of change orders was under 11 % of the
construction amount.
• The final project amount was over the project budget by $11,772.68. This
overage was discovered during final project cost reconciliation. During this
reconciliation, staff noted that we had not budgeted for one PSE charge for a
gas line extension ($12,123.57).
• The previously approved contingencies of $52,000 were spent on the following
items:
➢ Design costs (including reproduction, printing of plans and specifications,
travel, etc.) are paid by the owner on an actual cost basis. By the time the
project was done, these reimbursables totaled $26,757. We expected to pay
for them from the contingency.
➢ Other soft costs, principally testing and permitting, were over the project
budget by $16,308, due to the extended construction period, which
generated additional soft costs.
➢ The final change order costs came in $8,936 over the change proposal
estimates, which is not unusual since proposals are made before all costs are
known.
• Funds are available from interest savings on the Pavilion account to cover the
shortfall.
• See the attached spreadsheet for project cost summary and change order details.
CONCLUSION:
The project was built according to the final plans and specifications. The work has been
inspected and complies with City Code.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The area is approx. 952 sq. ft. (12'x79.37') of additional public right-of-way, along the southern
boundary of the short plat, to be dedicated for NE 21s' Street. The right-of-way (ROW) dedication of
12 feet will bring the total ROW width to 42 feet. Street improvements are not being built at this
time, but could be conceivably built in the future. The 42 feet width would provide sufficient ROW
for future construction of a standard residential street, with on -street parking, and full curb, gutter and
sidewalks on both sides of the street. By accepting this dedication at this time, the abutting parcel
will be developed with a front yard setback matching future potential full street improvements. The
dedication will also eliminate any future costs for condemnation of the additional ROW for full street
improvements. The dedication is a City of Renton code requirement of the KKS Short Plat,
LUA03-051, and Council acceptance of said right-of-way should be completed prior to recording
deed with the short plat.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk
to execute the Deed of Dedication.

G. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1. Project Description/Background
The applicants, Larry. Kupferer and Voyce Ann Hanson, propose to subdivide a 0.64-acre (28,048 gross
square feet) parcel into four lots. The property currently contains a 1,488 square foot single family residence
which will remain on new Lot 1. Lot sizes proposed are: Lot 1 at 6,696 square feet; Lot 2 at 7,303 square feet;
Lots 3 and 4 at 6,727 square feet each.
The proposal for eventual development of single family residences on the four lots would arrive at a density of
6.43 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac). The allowed density range in the R-8 zone is a minimum of 5.0 to a
maximum of 8.0 dwelling units per acre for parcels greater than one-half an acre in size.
Lot 1 would maintain access via an existing driveway to NE 2152 Street and Lots 2, 3 and 4 would gain access
via a private access easement from NE 21st Street. Approximately 12 feet (952 sq. ft.) would be dedicated to
the City of Renton for right-of-way for NE 215t Street.
The topography of the subject site is steeply sloped with an average slope of approximately 16%. Cut and fill
would be balanced on site. The site is located in a Moderate Landslide Hazard area and within the Aquifer
Protection Zone 2 as identified on the City's Critical Areas' maps.
2. Environmental Review
Except when located on lands covered by water or sensitive areas, short plats are exempt from SEPA
Environmental Review pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(6)(a).
3. Compliance with ERC Conditions
N/A
4. Staff Review Comments
Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address
issues raised by the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the
essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the
Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report.
5. Consistency Short Plat Criteria
Approval of a plat is based upon several factors. The following short plat criteria have been established to
assist decision -makers in the review of the plat:
a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Designation
The site is designated Residential Single Family (RSF) on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Map. The RSF designation is intended to promote and enhance single family neighborhoods. The
proposal is consistent with the RSF designation in that it would allow for the future construction of
new single family homes, thereby promoting goals of infill development. The proposal is consistent
with the following Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Housing Element policies:
shplrpt KKS.doc
City of Renton PIBIPW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED September 11, 2003; PROJECT LUA-03-051, SHPL-A Page 4
Policy LU-34. Net development densities should fall within a range of 5 to 8 dwelling units pF
acre in Residential Single Family neighborhoods. The proposed project for four lots would arrive z _
a net density of 6.43 dwelling units per net acre which is within the allowable range.
Policy LU-35. A minimum lot size of 4,500 square feet should be allowed in single family
residential neighborhoods except when flexible development standards are used for project
review. All lots exceed the minimum lot size of which the smallest lot is 6,696 square feet.
Policy H-4. Encourage infill development as a means to increase capacity. The proposal would
create three additional lots, thereby slightly increasing density within a currently developed
residential area.
b) Compliance with the Underlying Zoning Designation
The subject site is designated Residential — 8 Dwelling Units per Acre (R-8) on the City of Renton
Zoning Map. The proposed development would allow for the future construction of three new
single family dwelling units.
The allowed density range in the R-8 zone is a minimum of 5.0 to a maximum of 8.0 dwelling units
per acre (du/ac) for parcels exceeding one-half an acre in size. Net density is calculated after the
deduction of sensitive areas, areas intended for public right-of-way and private easements serving
three lots or more from the gross acreage of the site. The property does not contain any sensitive
areas but does contain required public right-of-way dedication. There would be 952 square feet
dedicated to the right-of-way for NE 215t Street. After the deduction for the street dedication (952
square feet) from the 28,048 gross square foot site, (28,048 gross sq. ft. — 952 dedicated sq. ft. _
27,096 net sq. ft. or 0.62 net acres) net density would arrive at 6.43 dwelling units per acre (4 units
/ 0.62 net acres = 6.43 du/ac) which is within the allowed density range of the zone.
The allowed building lot coverage in the R-8 zone is 35 percent or 2,500 square feet whichever is
greater for lots over 5,000 square feet in size and lots 5,000 square feet or less are allowed P
maximum of 50% lot coverage. New Lot 1, where the existing single family residence woul(
remain, has a lot coverage of 22.2% which complies with the development standard. Staff will
verify that development meets lot coverage restrictions at the time of building permit submittal.
The short plat plan includes setback lines for each lot. Setbacks in the R-8 zone are as follows:
front yard is 20 feet, side yard is 5 feet, side yard along a street is 15 feet and the rear yard is 20
feet. Based on the proposed subdivision, new Lot 1 would maintain its front yard facing toward NE
21st Street. Lots 2, 3 and 4 meet all required yard setbacks and provide adequate buildable area.
Each lot would have adequate area to provide two off-street parking spaces as required by the
parking regulations.
The R-8 zone permits accessory structures only when associated with a primary structure located
on the same parcel. An outbuilding (shed) currently exists on the site and must be removed prior
to recording of the final short plat. As a condition of short plat approval, staff recommends that a
demolition permit is obtained and the outbuilding be removed prior to recording of the final short
plat.
c) Compliance with Subdivision Regulations
Streets: No new public streets would be created as part of the proposed short plat. The
dedication of twelve (12) feet of right-of-way (approximately 952 square feet) to NE 215 Street is
required. The dedication of property for public right-of-way requires City Council approval. A
separate recorded document is required for the dedication. The applicant is encouraged to begin
the deed of dedication process to prevent any delays.
NE 21st Street is an unimproved public right-of-way. The Subdivision Regulations require the
installation of street improvements, including curb, gutter, and sidewalk, and provide half
pavement width per the standards of the parcel being developed (RMC section 4-6-060), unless
previously installed, waived or deferred through the City of Renton Board of Public Works. The
applicant has not requested a waiver or deferral of these improvements.
The proposed short plat is anticipated to generate additional traffic on the City's street system In
order to mitigate transportation impacts, staff recommends a condition of approval be placed on
shplrpt KKS.doc
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action
REPORT AND DECISION DATED September 11, 2003; PROJECT LUA-03-051, SHPL-A Page 5
the project requiring a Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per net new average daily
trip attributed to the project. The three new lots (credit given for the existing residence) is expected
to generate approximately 9.57 new average weekday trips per lot. The fee for the proposed short
plat is estimated at $2,153.25 ($75.00 x 9.57 trips x 3 lots = $2,153.25) and is payable prior to the
recording of the short plat.
Blocks: No new blocks will be created as part of the proposed short plat.
Lots: The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone is 4,500 square feet. The proposed plat
would create four lots, which are proposed as: Lot 1 at 6,696 square feet: Lot 2 at 7,303 square
feet: and Lots 3 and 4 at 6,727 square feet each. The proposed lot sizes are compatible with other
existing lots in this area under the same R-8 zoning classification. The applicant would create
larger lots than the required 4,500 square feet lot area of the R-8 zone. The four lots would be at
least 2,000 square feet greater than the required lot size which would provide a larger buildable
area and potentially lessen impacts to the sensitive slopes.
The proposed lots comply with the R-8 requirements for minimum lot width (50 feet for interior lots
and 60 feet for comer lots). The minimum lot depth of 65 feet is achieved by all four lots and thus
complies with these development standards. All new lots appear to have adequate building area
for the construction of single-family residences when taking setbacks and lot coverage
requirements into consideration.
The size, orientation and arrangement of the proposed lots comply with the requirements of the
Subdivision Regulations and the development standards of the R-8 zone.
d) Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries
Access: Each lot would have direct access to a public right-of-way, NE 21" Street. Lots 2, 3 and 4
would use a 26 foot wide private access easement and Lot 1 would utilize an existing driveway. In
order to properly maintain the shared access easement and any shared utility improvements
within the short plat, staff recommends the establishment of a maintenance agreement be
required as a condition of short plat approval.
Topography. The topography of the central portion of the site is steep with slopes up to 40
percent with less than 15 feet in vertical distance; thus considered sensitive slopes. The average
slope of the site is approximately 16% from the southeast to the northwest. The property is
vegetated with grass, blackberries, maple and fir trees. It is anticipated that trees located within
the building pads and within utility and access easements would be removed to allow
development. Cut and fill would be balanced on site. The applicant indicates there would be no
import of soils.
The City's Critical Areas' Maps indicate the potential presence of steep slopes on the site. The
applicant submitted a geotechnical report prepared by Geotech Consultants, Inc., dated March,
2003 which addressed items including slopes, soils and groundwater. The City of Renton also
required a secondary review of the report due to the potential for protected slopes on site. The
secondary review, conducted by GEO Group Northwest, Inc., concurred with the initial report that
the slopes are less than 15 foot vertical and 40 percent and would be defined as sensitive slopes,
not protected slopes. According to RMC 4-11-040, the definition of critical areas includes
protected slopes but not sensitive slopes. Therefore, the presence of these sensitive slopes does
not prompt environmental (SEPA) review.
The geotechnical report indicates that the slope located in the central portion of the site was over -
steepened by fill when the existing house was built. A four foot cut was made into the toe of the
slope in the past. The report states that the slope, as it currently exists, is stable and that the
proposed development will increase the stability of the slope since the toe of the slope will need to
be regraded for home construction or be retained by walls constructed for daylight basements.
The report continues to outline several erosion control measures potentially needed during site
development that are dependent on weather conditions at the time of construction. The measures
include: silt fences around the downslope sides of the site; rocked construction access roads
extended into the site to minimize mud carried offsite by trucks and equipment; cut slopes and soil

stockpiles covered with plastic; after rough grading, mulch or hydroseed of bare areas not covere-
with landscaping or impervious surface, if necessary.
Wet season guidelines are applicable for construction during the timeframe of October 1s` to April
30`" (see attached guidelines).
Relationship to Existing Uses: The properties surrounding the subject site are designated
Residential — 8 Dwelling Units Per Acre (R-8) on the City's zoning map. The proposal is similar to
existing development patterns in the area and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and
Zoning Code, which encourage residential infill development.
In order to lessen the impact of the development to the surrounding properties, staff recommends
as a condition of short plat approval that a solid fence, wall or combination thereof be constructed
around the property's perimeter and be located so as not to interfere with any site distances. The
fence is to be installed prior to the recording of the final short plat.
e) Availability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness)
Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicate that sufficient resources exist to furnish
services to the proposed development, subject to the condition that the applicant provide Code
required improvements and fees. A Fire Mitigation Fee, based on $488.00 per new single family
lot with credit given for the existing single family residence, is recommended in order to mitigate
the proposal's potential impacts to City emergency services. The fee is estimated at $1,464.00
($488.00 x 3 new units = $1,464.00) and is payable prior to the recording of the short plat.
Staff also recommends that a street address sign, visible from NE 215' Street, identifying all
addresses within the short plat be installed to ensure that emergency vehicles can locate each
residence.
Recreation: The proposal does not provide on -site recreation areas for future residents of the
proposed short plat. The project would contribute to the demand for future new recreations
facilities. This fee would go towards creating recreational facilities that may be utilized by futur,
residents. Therefore, staff recommends that a Parks Mitigation Fee of $530.76 per new single
family lot be paid. Credit would be given for the existing single family residence. The fee is
estimated at $1,592.28 ($530.76 x 3 new lots = $1,592.28) and is payable prior to the recording of
the short plat.
Schools: According to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Renton Land Use
Element (January 16, 1992), the City of Renton has a student generation factor of 0.44 students
per single family residential dwelling. Based on the student generation factor, the proposed short
plat would result in approximately one additional student (0.44 X 3 = 1.32) to the local schools
(Kennydale Elementary, McKnight Middle School and Hazen High School). It is anticipated that
the Renton School District can accommodate any additional students generated by this proposal.
Storm Water. There are no storm drainage improvements fronting the site on NE 21" Street. A
Level 1 Drainage report, prepared by Touma Engineers was submitted that addresses the
requirements outlined in the 1990 KCSWDM. Conceptually, the report appears to be acceptable.
Due to the surrounding steep slopes, tightlining of roof and footing drains will be required.
The System Development Charge is required at the current rate of $525.00 per new single family
residence. Current charges would be for three lots x $525.00 per lot = $1,575.00 and is payable at
the time the utility construction permit is issued.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities: An new fire hydrant will be required to be installed. A five -
inch quick disconnect storz type fitting will also be required to be installed. Water service stub(s)
are required to be provided to each building lot prior to recording of the short plat. A system
development charge of $1,105.00 per single family lot is required and payable at the time of
issuance of the utility construction permit.
The City will be installing an eight -inch sewer main in NE 22"d Street that extends to the end of th
road. Construction is proposed to be completed by late November 2003. New Lots 2, 3 and 4 wilt
be required to connect to this new main in NE 22" Street in order to obtain gravity service. At that
time, the applicant will be required to set a manhole and connect three separate side sewers.

3. Remove the prefix "S" before "HARRINGTON AVE NE".
4. The dedication of property for street purposes (12' X 79.37' strip) requires approval by the City Council. Said
dedication is achieved via a recorded City of Renton Dedication Deed document. If the dedication is to be
recorded with the short plat, the dedication process must be timed in such a way that Council approval and all
other matters pertaining to the dedication have been taken care of, and said document is ready to record. Said
Deed document includes both a legal description exhibit and a map exhibit. The legal description exhibit should
be prepared, stamped, dated and signed by the applicant's surveyor. The surveyor should also prepare the map
exhibit. The dedication process requires an updated Short Plat Certificate, to be dated within the 45 days time
period prior to Council approval of said dedication.
Information needed for final short plat approval includes the following:
1. Note the City of Renton land use action number and land record number, LUA-03-051-SHPL and LND-20-0352,
respectively, on the drawing. The type size used for the land record number should be smaller than that used for
the land use action number.
2. Provide short plat and lot closure calculations.

short plat drawing.
4. Note all easements, covenants and agreements of record on the drawing.
5. Note the setbacks from the lot lines of proposed Lot 1 to the existing house.
6. Note whether the properties adjoining the short plat are platted (give name and lot number) or unplatted.
7. Remove the building setback lines from the lots. Setbacks will be determined at the time of issuance of building
permits.
8. The city will provide addresses for the lots as soon as possible. Note the addresses on the drawing.
9. Is the shed, currently noted on proposed Lot 4, to be removed? If so, note it on the drawing. If not, then note the
setback from the shed to the easterly line of Lot 1.
10. On the final short plat submittal, remove references to concrete pad, concrete drive, concrete steps and other
items not directly impacting the subdivision. These items are provided only for preliminary short plat approval.
11. The "APPROVALS" block provided for the City of Renton is incorrect. Revise as needed.
12. Remove the "OWNER" block, the "SURVEYOR/SURVEYOR" block, and the density and zoning information from
the "SHORT PLAT DATA" block.
13. Because the subject short plat property falls within Zone 2 of the City of Renton Aquifer Protection Area, the
Aquifer Protection Notice needs to be noted on the drawing. See the attachment.
14. Note that if there are restrictive covenants, easements or agreements to others (City of Renton, etc.) as part of this
subdivision, they can be recorded concurrently with the short plat. The short plat drawing and the associated'
document(s) are to be given to the Project Manager as a package. The short plat shall have the first recording
number. The recording number(s) for the associated document(s) should be referenced on the short plat drawing.
15. The 26' access and utilities easement, for the benefit of future owners of the proposed lots, should be noted as
NEW and PRIVATE. Since the new lots created via this short plat are under common ownership at the time of
recording, there can be no easement until such time as ownership of the lots is conveyed to others, together with
and/or subject to specific easement rights.

EROSION CONTROL "WET SEASON" REQUIREMENTS
Supplement 2002
Any site with exposed soils during the WET SEASON (October 1 to April 30) shall be subject to
the special provisions below. These special provisions are required in addition to the standard ESC
cover measures.These provisions include covering any newly seeded areas with mulch and
identifying and seeding as much disturbed area as possible prior to September 23 in order to
provide grass cover for the wet season.
All of the following provisions for wet season construction are detailed in Appendix D of the King
County Surface Water Manual. The basic requirements are listed below:
1. The allowed time that a disturbed area can remain unworked without cover measures is
reduced to two (2) days, rather than seven (7) days.
2. Stockpiles and steep cut and fill slopes are to be protected if unworked for more than 12 hours.
3. Cover materials (plastic, matting, etc.) sufficient to cover all disturbed areas shall be stockpiled
on site.
4. All areas that are to be unworked during the wet season shall be seeded within one week of
the beginning of the wet season.
5. Mulch is required to protect all seeded areas.
6. Fifty linear feet of silt fence (and the necessary stakes) per acre of disturbance must be
stockpiled on site.
7. Construction road and parking lot stabilization are required for all sites unless the site is
underlain by coarse -grained soil.
8. Sediment retention is required unless no offsite discharge is anticipated for the specified design
flow. Properly installed silt fencing is mandatory along the downslope of all disturbed areas of
the site. Perimeter protection filters runoff and reduces the amount of sediment that may leave
the site.
9. Surface water controls are required unless no offsite discharge is anticipated for the specified
design flow.
10. Phasing and more conservative BM Ps must be evaluated for construction activity near surface
waters.
11. Any runoff generated by dewatering shall be treated through construction of a sediment trap
when there is sufficient space or by releasing the water to a well -vegetated, gently sloping
area. Since pumps are used for dewatering, it may be possible to pump the sediment -laden
water well away from the surface water so that vegetation can be more effectively utilized for
treatment. A straw bale filter shall be placed around the discharge from the dewatering pump. If
there is not space for a sediment trap or 25 feet of suitable vegetation, other filtration methods
shall be required.
12.The frequency of maintenance review should be increased from weekly to daily where
warranted.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City recently passed an ordinance banning fireworks. That ordinance referenced the
amendments to the Uniform Fire Code, and will become effective one year after publication. Due
to a change in state law, the International Fire Code has just been adopted in Renton. Therefore,
it is necessary to reference the amendments to the International Fire Code instead, in our city
code. This ordinance simply replaces the fireworks section numbers of the Uniform Fire Code
with those of the International Fire Code.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Pass ordinance banning fireworks that references amendments to the newly -adopted International
Fire Code.

changes were made. However with a new administration, the City Attorney's Office
recommended that Council re-establish a first reading of the ordinance and proceed with
adoption.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Include the ordinance on the agenda June 21, 2004 for first reading.

SUBJECT: Downtown Core Off -Street Parking Requirements
ISSUE:
• Should the City's Downtown Core parking exemption provisions be modified by adopting a
parking standard for new residential uses and for both new and expanded commercial uses?
• Should a different standard be required for some commercial uses involving public assembly
such as theaters and churches?
• Should off site parking be allowed in the residential area surrounding the Downtown Core?
(Hereinafter referred to as "Core".)
RECOMMENDATION:
Support the following recommendations of the parking report "Parking in the Downtown Core"
(hereafter referred to as the "Report"):
• Continue the present exemption for existing uses.
• Establish a new minimum standard for residential uses of one space per unit within the Core.
• Adopt a separate standard for units dedicated to low income elderly of one space per three
units within the Core.
• Establish a standard for new commercial uses. Recommended standard: one space per 1,000
square feet of gross area rather than 1.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet as proposed in the
Report. Apply this standard also to expanded square footage for existing uses provided this
is new square footage not already vested by a prior business, rather than to "changes of uses"
as recommended in the Report.
0 Continue to require no maximum parking standard.

Support the following additional recommendations developed by interdepartmental staff, after
review and consideration of the Report.
Adopt a separate standard for uses involving public "assembly" such as dance halls and
dance clubs. Recommended standard: 15 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area for
such uses that can occasionally generate very high occupancies. For other places of
assembly such as theaters, auditoriums, and religious and cultural institutions, one space for
every five fixed seats. Where fixed seats are not provided within the assembly area for these
latter uses, one space per 100 square feet of assembly area would be required.
0 Continue to exempt the Core area from the provisions of Parking Lot Design Standards.
• Allow parking to be provided off -site without the distance limitations imposed in the existing
code when located in the Core area.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
On October 16, 2003 the Planning Commission reviewed the staff recommendations and
concurred except for two uses where additional information was sought (see attached report).
These included the proposed on -site parking requirement for "restaurants with drive -up
windows" and "dance halls, dance clubs, and skating rinks." The Commission felt that the
current citywide requirement of 13.3 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross area for "restaurants
with drive -up windows" seemed high in comparison to the 1.0 space per 1,000 square feet of
gross area for regular restaurants. The Commission recommends 5.0 spaces per 1,000 square
feet for such uses. The Commission also felt that the citywide standard of 25 spaces per 1,000
square feet of gross floor area for "dance halls, dance clubs, and skating rinks" was too high.
They felt that that dance halls and dance clubs are typically the types of uses that should be
located in the downtown and because these are typically evening uses they would not conflict
with daytime parking. The Commission recommends 10 spaces per 1,000 square feet for dance
halls/clubs.
Following the Planning Commission action the design team was reconvened to review its
recommended changes. The design team felt that the 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross
floor area for restaurants with drive -up windows needed to be changed so that it was the same as
the requirement for other "drive through businesses" in the Core. In the latter case the 5 required
spaces are "stacking spaces for each station" (or window) rather than per 1,000 square feet of
gross floor area. Similarly, for "dance halls, dance clubs, and skating rinks" the design team
recommended a standard of 15 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, based upon
information provided by the Fire Department representative. The following recommendations
reflect these suggested revisions.

BACKGROUND:
The Downtown Core has been exempt from parking and loading requirement since the early
1950s when the City established its first zoning ordinance. Some of reasons for exempting this
area include:
• Most buildings at that time were built out to the street property line and abutted one another,
making off-street parking onsite difficult, if not impossible;
• Public transportation was more heavily utilized and developed in the 1940s and 1950s than it
is today; and,
• The imposition of off-street parking requirements at that time would have been difficult to
implement, making many of these existing buildings legal non -conforming uses.
Today people are more auto -dependent than they were in the past and, as a result, parking
availability is critical to the success of most businesses. Up until a few years ago there was an
adequate supply of both on -street and off-street parking in the area. Recently, however, the
revitalization of the Core began to change the balance between supply and demand for parking.
Existing underutilized parcels are redeveloping with new mixed -use multi -family developments
and businesses are expanding. Additional curb cuts, bus stops and bus holdover areas have also
impacted on -street parking in the downtown. As a result of these changes and the renewed
interest in the downtown, a study was conducted in the second half of 2001 to see if the existing
off-street parking exemption was still justified in the Core.
EDNSP conducted an inventory of both on- and off-street parking in the Core. In addition to this
inventory, the staff began contacting other cities and collecting data on how they dealt with
parking in their older downtown core areas. A great deal of data was collected on what cities
were doing to manage both on- and off-street parking in these areas, including off-street parking
requirements, management of on -street parking, and provisions for off -site parking, including
city sponsored programs such as "pay -in -lieu". These findings were synthesized into the Report,
Parking in Renton's Downtown Core. This report and the input from an interdepartmental
design team became the basis for the current recommendations. A copy of this report is attached.
Residential & Commercial Uses
A major finding of the report is that most cities require some off-street parking in their
downtown centers (see Report: Exhibit A, Parking in the Downtown Core). Typically, in most
cities this is at a lower ratio per use than what is required citywide. The range for residential
H:\EDNSP\Title W\Multiple Zone Amends\Parking\CD Parking Study\2004\Council DT Rev Parking Issue Paper.doc
June 15, 2004
Page 4
units, for example, based upon the 23 cities surveyed was zero to 2.0 spaces per unit, with an
average of one space per unit. However, in most of these cities, developers are allowed to
provide additional parking if they feel the market justifies it, as there is no maximum parking
standard.
A second finding of the Report is that housing dedicated to low income elderly generates a lower
parking ratio due to reduced rates of car ownership and usage by residents. However, based on
current experience reported by management for the existing Housing Authority and SHAG
projects, car ownership and guest parking creates a demand exceeding the present citywide
parking standard of one space per four units. The Report (p. 5) recommends that the citywide
standard be increased to one space per three units within the Core to address this need. The
Administration supports this ratio or a higher standard of one space two units within the Core.
The third major finding of the Report addresses commercial uses. Cities included in the survey
have commercial parking standards ranging from zero to four spaces per 1,000 square feet of
leasable area (see Report Exhibit B, Downtown Commercial Parking Requirements). The Report
documents that the standards for off-street parking space provided in the Core could be less than
required elsewhere in the City, without compromising parking availability. This effect is due to
the number of existing parking spaces plus the influence of the new pedestrian oriented
downtown development. The Core has improved access to public transportation with its new
Transit Center and increased parking supply as a result of the new 575-space municipal parking
garage.
Based upon these findings, the Administration supports a minimum ratio of one space per
dwelling unit and 1.0 space per 1,000 gross square feet for most commercial uses. The
commercial ratio is lower than the 1.511000 standard originally proposed in the Report. The City
interdepartmental team recommended a reduction in this ratio to reflect the methodology used to
calculate gross usable area. Both commercial and residential standards would be "minimum"
rather than "maximum" requirements. The technique of limiting the amount of parking provided
through adoption of parking "maximum" was also reviewed in the study. The Report
recommends not enacting maximums, as there is no identified need to restrict parking supply at
this time. The Administration continues to support that position.
Without a parking "maximum", developers can provide additional parking if financially feasible
to respond to the market.
Specialized Assemblv Uses
Discussion of the range of uses and activities allowed in the Core lead the City interdepartmental
team to a more thorough review of the commercial standards than originally analyzed in the
Report.
Some uses that involve assembly of people typically generate a greater demand for off-street
parking, because of the number of users. A large assembly use in the downtown could use a
disproportionate amount of existing parking. The Administration supports using a higher
standard for these uses but believes that the City's more stringent citywide off-street parking
standard of one space per 40 square feet for dance halls is too high for the Core. Instead, the
H:\EDNSP\Title PAMultiple Zone Amends\Parking\CD Parking Study\2004\Council DT Rev Parking Issue Paper.doc
June 15, 2004
Page 5
Administration supports a ration of 15 spaces per 1,000 square feet, as recommended by the
design team. The Administration also supports one space per 4 fixed seats or 1 space per 100
square feet of assembly area without fixed seats for theaters, auditoriums, and religious and
cultural facilities not containing fixed seats, be required.
Parking Design Standards
The existing downtown parking exemption applies to provisions such as parking space
dimensions, loading, number, size and dimensions, parking lot layout and aisle, landscaping, and
compact spaces. The Administration supports retaining the current exemption to preserve
flexibility needed to create workable parking solutions for new projects. Practical adaptation of
development standards can help maximize parking supply. Existing code reflects a suburban
standard that cannot be achieved in an urban context without compromising other goals.
Imposition of the City's existing standards on all new development would increase the amount of
land required for each parking space. Most new development will go through Site Plan review,
so the provisions for parking lot screening; lighting and layout that increase compatibility
between uses could be adequately addressed through that process.
"Off -Site" Parking
Existing code includes a provision allowing property owners or business owners who cannot
provide code mandated parking on their site to lease or contract for "off -site" parking within 500
feet for residential uses and 750 feet for commercial uses. The Core is currently exempted from
these provisions. While some businesses in the Core do have informal "off -site" parking
arrangements these agreements are based on market demand rather than a code requirement.
Upon repeal of the parking exemption for new uses, it is probable that more businesses will need
these provisions, and the ensuing agreements will be formalized. The "off -site" parking section
of code would be used, for example, for new businesses to get credit toward required parking by
leasing space in the new municipal parking garage. The question is whether the 500 and 750-
foot distance standards are realistic and desirable for the Core.
The consensus of the interdepartmental team was that flexibility should be retained as much as
possible to avoid the need for variances or parking modifications. The interdepartmental staff
recommended that within the Core area "off -site" parking continue to be exempted from the 500
foot and 750 foot distance standards, allowing such parking to be farther away if the market
supports it. It should be noted, however, that formal off -site parking agreements are only
allowed in the commercially zoned (CO) parts of the Core area.
The zoning code does not currently allow the creation of private parking lots in residential areas
for "off -site" parking from a different zone. This restriction eliminates some pressure on
residentially zoned areas but does not prevent business users from continuing to utilize on -street
parking in residential areas. (Some cities have adopted on -street permit parking in residential
areas where this is a problem.) Also, this current restriction only applies to formalized
agreements allowing code -required parking off -site. The existing code and Administration
recommendation would allow "off -site" parking in the Commercial Arterial zone along the
Rainier corridor, for example.

CONCLUSION:
In order to remain competitive in the region, new development in the Downtown Core should be
required to provide some off-street parking, although at a more urban (lower) standard than they
would provide elsewhere in the City. Existing buildings, as long as they do not expand, and the
uses within them, whether existing or new, should continue to be exempt from off-street parking
standards. Parking lot design standards should also continue to be exempt throughout the
Downtown Core since they are based more on suburban development models where land
availability is typically not an issue. Required parking for uses in the Downtown Core should be
allowed off -site as long as its location is within the Downtown Core.
Places of assembly including auditoriums, theaters, banquet halls, and religious institutions
should be required to meet current citywide parking standards so that they do not usurp parking
from other uses in the Downtown Core. Likewise, it is recommended that parking for low-
income elderly housing in the Core be provided at a slightly higher ratio than low-income elderly
housing elsewhere, based upon the findings in the Report, Parking in the Downtown Core.

FIRST SAVINGS BANK
REQUEST FOR COST PARTICIPATION FOR EXTENSION OF WATER LINE
(Referred June 7, 2004)
First Savings Bank of Renton requests the City to contribute $85,235.00 towards the Bank's
installation of a new water main in Williams Avenue South from South 2nd Street to South 3rd
Street.
The Water Utility has reviewed the Bank's submitted total cost of $165,230.00 for the water
line and determined that this cost is higher than the City's average cost for similar projects.
The Water Utility has limited remaining budget for infrastructure.improvements for economic .
development projects since we have already committed to pay for a portion of the
infrastructure improvements in the Highlands area ir`'c'onjunction with the development of the
Harrington Square project. In addi''tion,the City will be paying for full -width asphalt overlay
of the street after the completion of the BarW&water line and 4l other City's utilities instead
of requiring the Bank to overlay half of 'the street.
t
The Utilities Committeerecommends concurrence with the`Planning/Building/Public Works
aY,
Department's recommendation that Cou, cif approve the City's contribution of $50,000
towards the installation of the water.lrne`by First Sayings Bank instead of the requested
$85,235,00. This proposal is consistent with;the City's priorities in supporting infrastructure
improvements for economic development projects m_the Downtown=and Highlands areas.
First Savings Bank may request -additional funding throiigh:City Council if 50% of the Bank's
final cost for the waterline exceedsahe City's contribution of $SO,000.00 plus the City's cost
for the asphalt overlay of one-half of -the street.
The Committee also recommends that Council`authorize the funding of $50,000 to come from
the Water Utility's 2004 Capital Improvement Project budget contingency fund for Downtown
Core Rehabilitation', account. number 421 000500.018.5960.0034.65.055290.
