PUBLIC MEETING
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Annexation: Maplewood East,
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
SE 136th St & 156th Ave SE
public meeting to consider the 10% Notice of Intent petition for the proposed
Maplewood East Annexation, consisting of 26.14 acres located immediately
east of the Maplewood Estates subdivision, bounded by SE 134th St., if
extended, on the north, 156th Ave. SE on the east, 152nd Ave. SE, if extended
on the west, and SE 136th St. on the south.
Senior Planner Don Erickson explained that the site is within the East Renton
Plateau Potential Annexation Area and currently contains eight single-family
dwellings. The site hosts a slope that drops 97 feet from the northeast corner to
the southeast corner, and no environmental constraints have been identified.
Reviewing the public services, he noted the site is served by Fire District #25,
Water District #90, Renton sewer, and the Renton School District. The existing
King County zoning is R-4; and Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the
area as Residential Low Density for which R-4 (four dwelling units per net
acre) zoning is proposed.
May 3, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 137
Mr. Erickson stated that the fiscal impact analysis indicates a surplus of $6,515
at full development. He concluded that the proposed annexation is consistent
with Renton policies an& Boundary Review Board criteria. He noted some
potential flooding in the area, suggesting mitigation with future development;
and except for parks, no major service issues have been identified.
Public comment was invited.
Ronda Bryant, 15406 SE 136th St., Renton, 98059, stated that she lives within
the potential annexation area and expressed concern about potential flooding,
not just with the stormwater, but with the underground water as well. She
stressed the need for future developers and the City to work towards alleviating____
the flooding problems.
Rich Bruzzi, 15249 SE 137th Pl., Renton, 98057, opposed the proposed
annexation, and expressed concern regarding the clearing of one of the last
densely forested parcels in the East Highlands area. Pointing out that the parcel
is inhabited by wildlife, he stated that one of the already cleared parcels could
be developed without sacrificing this wildlife habitat. Mr. Bruzzi
acknowledged that the City is growing; however, the growth needs to be
controlled in a way that works for everyone.
Ginette Bruzzi, 15249 SE 137th Pl., Renton, 98057, stated that the increase in
development results in an increase in cars, and noted that some single-family
homes are host to five or six cars. She questioned whether any studies have
been done to examine the effect of smog and congestion. Ms. Bruzzi
emphasized that there are too many developments in this area and too much
land is being cleared.
Mary Snodgrass, 15502 SE 133rd St., Renton, 98059, commented on the
opening of SE 133rd St. to the annexation area. Stressing that opening the road
will cause an even greater increase in traffic; she expressedconcern for the
safety of the residents and questioned what will be done to address the traffic
increase.
Mr. Erickson explained that annexations are exempt from SEPA (State
Environmental Policy Act) review, and are considered non -project activities.
The environmental impacts will be examined when a development proposal is
submitted. He pointed out that it is unknown at this point whether SE 133rd St.
will be opened to provide access to the proposed annexation site.
Pointing out the location of the urban growth boundary line, Mr. Erickson
reviewed how the zoning potential within this urban growth area was reduced
As required housing densities were achieved elsewhere in the City.
Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes clarified that at this time, the topic of
discussion is the proposed annexation and zoning of the site. When a
development is proposed, the public will be have the opportunity to comment
on the plan.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON,
SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING.
CARRIED.
In response to Councilman Persson's comments on the difference between King
County and City zoning, Mr. Erickson explained that R-4 zoning in King
County equates to 4 dwelling units per acre, and with bonuses, there is the
May 3, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 138
potential of up to six units per acre. In Renton, R-4 zoning equates to
approximately 3.85 dwelling units per acre.
MOVED BY PERSSON,,SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL ACCEPT
THE MAPLEWOOD EAST 10% NOTICE OF INTENT TO ANNEX
PETITION, AUTHORIZE CIRCULATION OF THE 60% DIRECT PETITION
TO ANNEX SPECIFYING THAT PETITIONERS SUPPORT R-4 ZONING
WITHIN THE AREA, AND PROPERTY OWNERS ASSUME A
PROPORTIONAL SHARE OF THE CITY'S BONDED INDEBTEDNESS.
CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Annexation: Merritt II, SE accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
100th PI & Lyons Ave NE public hearing to consider the 50% Petition to Annex for the proposed Merritt
II Annexation, which consists of 20.6 acres located northwest of the Stonegate
subdivision, bounded by Lyons Ave. NE on the east, SE 100th Pl., if extended,
on the south, and approximately 142nd Ave. SE, if extended, on the west.
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, reported that the signatures on the petition,
representing a majority of the area's acreage and a majority of registered voters
in the area, was certified by King County. The site's existing King County
zoning is R-1. Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential
Low Density, and it was prezoned R-1 (one dwelling unit per net acre) in 1997.
The area contains five single-family dwellings, and hosts some steep'slopes
along a ridge that runs diagonally through the middle of the site.
Reviewing the public services, Mr. Erickson stated that the area is served by
Water District #90, Coal Creek Utility District, and Renton water; by Fire
District #25; and by both the Renton and Issaquah School Districts. He detailed
the fiscal impacts of the proposed annexation assuming an increase to 17
single-family homes at full development, and a new home value of $400,000.
The City will realize a surplus of $1,201 at current development, and a surplus
of $2,208 at full development.
Continuing, Mr. Erickson said the proposed annexation is generally consistent
with Boundary Review Board (BRB) criteria; however, the BRB may expand
the boundaries by invoking jurisdiction pursuant to RCW 36.93.100 during its
45-day review period. He indicated that King County staff see certain
efficiencies resulting if the boundaries of the area are expanded northward to
include May Valley Rd. and east to the existing City boundary. Mr. Erickson
noted that the only way property owners within the expanded area can
challenge that decision is by going to Superior Court, and the BRB decision
does not trigger an election.
Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch pointed out that the BRB
will hold public hearings if it decides to expand the boundaries. He confirmed
that affected property owners would receive notice from the BRB, and the
decision would not affect the site's zoning.
In conclusion, Mr. Erickson stated that the proposed annexation is within the
best interests and general welfare of the City, and is consistent with City
policies. He noted that except for parks and surface water, no major issues
were identified.

Public comment was invited.
Dennis Noland, 14326 SE 100th Pl., Renton, 98059, said his property is located
near the proposed annexation area, and indicated that he supports landowners'
rights to develop their property. He expressed concerns pertaining to surface
water drainage; access to the property via SE 100th Pl. (which needs
resurfacing); the substandard entrance to SE 100th Pl. off of Duvall Ave. NE;
and the lack of parks.
Bob Blayden, 9933 143rd Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, supported the proposed
annexation. He stated that his property is located on the west side of the
_ proposed.annexation area, and noted that he voluntarily installed a -retention.
pond on his property due to runoff from SE 100th Pl. Mr. Blayden indicated
that if his property is developed, every consideration will be taken to maintain
surface water and the wildlife habitat.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY LAW,
SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ANNEXATION, AND AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO SUBMIT
A NOTICE OF INTENT TO ANNEX PACKAGE TO THE BOUNDARY
REVIEW BOARD FOR KING COUNTY. CARRIED.
ADMINISTRATIVE Derek Todd, Assistant to the CAO, reviewed a written administrative report
REPORT summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs
adopted as part of its business plan for 2004 and beyond. Items noted included:
The Recreation Division received an Award of Merit from the Washington
State Recreation and Parks Association for its Winter/Spring Recreation
Brochure.
The Regional Transportation Investment District Executive Board adopted
a draft transportation plan for King, Snohomish and Pierce counties on
April 29th. This plan provides $2.7 billion for the I-405 Corridor project,
which includes $820 million for that portion south of SR-169 including the
I-405/SR-167 interchange improvements. With the I-405 "nickel package"
($136 million), this amounts to $956 million for the portion of the project
south of SR-169.
AUDIENCE COMMENT John See, 438 Burnett Ave. S., Renton, 98055, stated that the Dean Sherman
Citizen Comment: See - Dean apartment project, located at S. 5th St. and Williams Ave. S., has changed from
Sherman Apartments high -end rental units to affordable housing, and he fears that the project will
(Williams Ave S) become a low-income apartment complex. Mr. See indicated that he lives
across the alley from the proposed project and is concerned that his house will
be damaged during the construction of the apartment building. He also
expressed concern about the noise, pointing out that construction is estimated to
take one year.
Councilwoman Nelson suggested that City staff meet with the affected
neighboring residents to discuss what they can expect during the construction
process. Councilwoman Briere commented that when construction occurred
near her home a few years ago, the City's inspectors made sure the builders
were mindful of its impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
May 3, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 140
Mr. Pietsch reviewed the finance method being used by the developers Sherman
Homes and DASH (Downtown Action to Save Housing) for this project. He
pointed out that although this property exceeds the density levels adopted
through the South Renton Neighborhood Plan, the height, bulk and scale of the
building comply with the plan.
Councilman Persson expressed concern that while construction is not allowed
prior to 7:00 a.m., suppliers make deliveries prior to that time. He also noted
that suppliers may block the nearby alley when unloading supplies. Based on
the type and location of the project, Mr. Persson emphasized the need for the
City to closely monitor the building process.
Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman stated that a
pre -construction meeting will be established and some conditions may be
placed on the construction and building permits for this project. He reviewed
the times when construction is allowed, and indicated that City staff will
diligently monitor erosion control and clean up.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler said she was impressed with the DASH projects she
toured recently, and stressed that the proposed apartment building's quality has
not been downgraded. Sherman Homes is just using a different financing
mechanism.
Councilwoman Nelson requested that a copy of the staff report regarding the
DASH development proposal be sent to concerned parties John See and Bob
Moran.
In response to Councilman Corman's inquiry, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler
explained the process by which the City came to adopt the South Renton
Neighborhood Plan, noting that there was extensive public input. Mr. Corman
stated for the record that it is important that the City do with that neighborhood
what the neighborhood overall would like. He said he is cognizant of the
Comprehensive Plan, but noted it is a difficult neighborhood to define due to its
proximity to downtown and its history.
Mr. Pietsch reported that this project has received site plan approval, and the
builders are expected to come in for building permits. He stated that discussion
has occurred regarding a possible unit increase, however it is internal to the
building. Mr. Pietsch noted that the modification is an appealable action.
Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington assured that any modification
request and its impact on the neighborhood will be thoroughly reviewed.
In response to Councilwoman Nelson's comments, Mr. Pietsch stated that staff
is working with the developer and the proposal to ensure that the same quality
project is produced as was promised over the past couple of years.

Center Parking, Parking Stall
Revenue generated is $12,000 annually.
Lease, King County Metro
At the request of Council President Persson, Community Services
Administrator Dennis Culp explained that with the purchase of the K-Mart
property by McLendon Hardware, King County Metro loses its park and ride
parking spaces at the K-Mart parking lot on Rainier Ave. S. in June. Parking is
available at the City Center Parking garage and the City and King County have
developed an agreement for the lease of parking stalls at that site. Mr. Culp
stated that the City wanted to ensure that its operating costs.were covered, and
that it protected its ability to use the garage as the downtown develops and
more people are interested in long-term parking.
Continuing, Mr. Culp explained that unlike the long-term parking, which
requires the use of an access card, the park and ride parking stalls can only be
used from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. He detailed the provisions of the lease,
pointing out that the lease provides for price escalations as the garage becomes
more heavily used by both Metro and City users. Mr. Culp stated that King
County added a bus run that travels from the City's parking garage to Seattle
during the commute periods.
In response to Council inquiries, Mr. Culp described how the monthly $10 per
stall price was arrived at. King County Metro representative Robin Anderson
reviewed the rates King County pays for parking stalls at its other park and ride
sites.
Responding to Councilman Law's concerns related to security and security
costs, Mr. Culp stated that the costs were factored into the City's overhead;
however, the cost of any increase in 911 calls and police dispatch were not. He
detailed the security arrangements at the City Center Parking Garage, which
includes four panic buttons on each floor and 16 cameras.
Mr. Culp confirmed that the lease specifies that King County may use the
parking spaces without additional charge on weekends; however, prior approval
from the City is required.
May 3, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 142
Councilwoman Nelson added that the garage was built with the understanding
that Sound Transit or King County Metro would use some of the parking stalls.
Discussion ensued regarding the use of the park and ride parking stalls by non -
commuters; overnight parking by non -long-term stall users; the potential use of
Metro -provided security guards; and the possibility of connecting the cameras
to the Internet so parking garage users can check on their vehicles.
Councilman Clawson noted that this lease will draw even more people to the
downtown area.

MAPLEWOOD EAST ANNEXATION PUBLIC MEETING
COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED ANNEXATION
WITH R-4 ZONING
May 3, 2004
The City is in receipt of a Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Petition from property owners
in the proposed Maplewood East 26-acre annexation area (see map on back of handout) representing
41% of the area's assessed value. The subject site is within the City's East Renton Plateau Potential
Annexation Area and is designated Residential Low Density (RLD) on the City's Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map. This site currently has the County's R-4 zoning and there are an estimated eight
dwelling units on it. With the City's R-4 zoning, the site could accommodate approximately 78 single-
family detached dwelling units including the 8 units already there. Unlike the County zoning, which
allows both attached and detached units and bonues in density up to 6 units per gross acre, Renton's
zoning only allows detached single-family dwelling units at a maximum of 4 units per net acre.
Under the recently adopted new rules amending RCW 35A.14.120, direct petitions to annex are
initiated by property owners representing at least 10% of the annexation area's assessed value. The
Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Proceedings petition is then forwarded to the Council.
Council is required to hold tonight's public meeting in order to decide whether the City will accept,
reject or geographically modify the proposed annexation.
If the Council decides to accept the 10% Notice of Intent Petition, it may:
1. Authorize the circulation of a 60% Direct Petition to Annex;
2. Decide whether to require the simultaneous adoption of zoning consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map; and,
3. Decide whether to require property owners within the annexation area to assume their
proportionate share of the City's indebtedness.
The site is located in the _19Sdqtt_,A. School District (which will not change), Water District 90, and
Renton's Wastewater Utility Service Area. Staff s fiscal analysis of this annexation indicates that
there will be a modest positive fiscal impact of approximately $6,500 a year at full development with a
one-time cost to the City of approximately $27,773 for parks land acquisition and development.
The Administration is recommending that Council accept the 10% Notice of Intent Petition for the
Maplewood East Annexation and authorize the circulation of a 60% Direct Petition to Annex (assessed
value method) subject to petitioners agreeing to accept R-4 zoning and property owners within the
annexation area assuming their fair share of the City's outstanding indebtedness.

MERRITT H ANNEXATION PUBLIC HEARING
. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF 50150 DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX
May 3, 2004
At the 10% Notice of Intent Public Meeting on December 22, 2003 Council authorized the
circulation of the new "50/50" Direct Petition to Annex with provisions requiring property
owners to assume their fair share of the City's outstanding indebtedness, upon annexation. The
subject site is within the City's Potential Annexation Area and is designated as Residential Low
Density on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and was prezoned R-1, one unit per
net acre, in 1997.
The City is now in receipt of a "50/50" Direct Petition to Annex from property owners and
registered voters within the proposed Merritt II Annexation area. King County's Department of
Assessments certified on February 19, 2004 that the signatures on the petition represent a
majority of the annexation site's acreage and the. Records, Elections and Licensing Division
certified on March 26, 2004 that a majority of the registered voters residing within it had also
signed the petition.
The annexation site appears to have reasonable boundaries. It abuts the City in its southeast
corner where it abuts the Stonegate subdivision. Access to a majority of the properties is through
the Newcastle subdivision off SE 100'h Place and 143rd Avenue SE. The current annexation
includes five parcels, having been expanded from one parcel when originally submitted in June
2003. May Creek touches the tip of the northernmost parcel.
Council is required to hold tonight's public_ hearing in order to decide whether it will. accept,
geographically modify, or reject the Direct Petition for this proposed annexation. If it accepts it,
staff is recommending that it authorize the Administration to forward the Notice of Intent
package to the Boundary Review Board for King County for their review.
If the Council accepts the "50/50" Direct Petition tonight, it .does not need to hold a public
hearing on zoning since the site was prezoned R-1 in 1997.
The Administration is recommending that the Council accept the "50/50" Direct Petition for the
Merritt II Annexation and authorize it to send the Notice of Intent package to the Washington
State Boundary Review Board for King County.

Potential Expansion of Boundaries
• From recent discussions between City and King
County the latter will likely invoke jurisdiction,
pursuant to RCW 36.93.100, during the BRB's 45-
day review period.
• County staff see certain efficiencies resulting if
the boundaries of the proposed annexation are
expanded northward to include May Valley Rd

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
A. Capital funding in the amount of $71,733 was awarded to E1derHealth Northwest in 2002 and
declined by E1derHealth in 2004. The City needs to officially cancel the project award so the funds
are available to reallocate. Criteria for reallocation were projects that were already eligible for
CDBG funds and able to spend the funds in 2004. The Salvation Army Renton Food Bank was the
only Renton project that met those criteria. The Food bank was already awarded local CDBG
funds ($55,000 in 2002 for refrigerators and freezers, $30,360 in 2003 for construction). The
recommendation is to cancel the $55,000 awarded in 2002 and move the funds to 2003 along with
the $71,733 so all the funds can be under one project number.
B. Award $15,000 of the 2004 CDBG unallocated capital funds to Parkview Group Homes to cover
the cost of connecting the house at 2509 Edmonds Ave NE to the sewer. Parkview provides
affordable housing to four deaf/blind residents at this address, has previously received CDBG
capital funds for purchase of this house, and is eligible for CDBG funding for this emergency
repair.
A public hearing is required for these actions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Human Services Advisory Committee and staff recommend the 2002 CDBG capital funds of
$71,733 be canceled and reallocated to The Salvation Army Renton Food Bank, and all funding be
combined under one project number. They further recommend $15,000 in 2004 CDBG capital funds be
allocated to Parkview Group Homes. Schedule a public hearing for May 24, 2004.

SUBJECT: Cancellation and Reallocation of 2002 Community Development Block
Grant Capital Projects; allocation of unallocated 2004 capital funds
ISSUE:
A. Cancellation of $71,733 in capital funding awarded to ElderHealth Northwest in
2002, and subsequently declined in 2004. This made these funds available to
reallocate. Criteria for reallocation were projects that were already eligible for
CDBG funds that could go under contract quickly and expend the funds in 2004.
The Salvation Army Renton Food Bank and Social Services Center met those
criteria. The Food bank was already awarded local CDBG funds ($55,000 in 2002
for refrigerators and freezers, $30,360 in 2003 for construction). Roll the $71,733
and $55,000 into the 2003 project so that it is one project.
B. Award $15,000 of the 2004 CDBG unallocated capital funds to Parkview Group
Homes to cover the cost of connecting the house at 2509 Edmonds Ave NE to the
city sewer. Parkview provides affordable housing to four deaf/blind residents at this
address, has previously received CDBG capital funds for purchase of this house, so
it is eligible for CDBG funding, can go under contract quickly, and it is an
emergency.
HAHUMAN_SE\COUNCIL\ElderHealthreallocation issuepaper. doc
RECOMMENDATION:
The Human Services Advisory Committee recommends cancellation of 2002 capital
project funds to ElderHealth Northwest in the amount of $71,733 (project 02-879), and
reallocating those funds to the Salvation Army Renton Food Bank and Service Center (03-
103) to be used for construction. For the purposes of housekeeping and timeliness, it is
also recommended that the $55,000 in funding approved in 2002 for the purchase and
installation of walk in refrigerators and freezer be cancelled as a 2002 project and the
funds rolled into the current 2003 Salvation Army Food Bank project for the same
purpose.
Award $15,000 of the $50,300 in 2004 unallocated CDBG funds to Parkview Group
-- Homes to connect the house at 2509 Edmonds Ave NE to the city sewer system.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In June 2004, the Joint Recommendations Committee, the inter -jurisdictional policy body
for King County and the suburban cities, will be reviewing and likely canceling any CDBG
capital projects over two years old that are not yet under contract. The funds for
ElderHealth and the walk in refrigerators/freezers for the food bank are both in this
category. Contracts are not issued by King County until after the Environmental Review is
completed. The Food bank Environmental Review is almost finished, and the
groundbreaking is scheduled for September. Reallocation of the funds will preserve this
funding and make it available for use in 2004.
ElderHealth was originally granted funds to make improvements to a building serving as
an adult day health care center on the campus of Valley Medical Center. After funding
was approved, the facility experienced ongoing maintenance problems and Valley Medical
Center chose not to renew the lease on the building. Their lease expires December 31,
2007. ElderHealth formally declined the funds in January 2004. They are working looking
for property to purchase in the Kent area.
The Renton Salvation Army Food Bank and Service Center has been awarded local
CDBG funds ($55,000 in 2002, $30,360 in 2003), as well as $101,894 in CDBG funds
from King County. Cancellation of the 2002 funding and reallocation to the existing 2003
food bank project would consolidate them under one project number, and allow
expenditure of the funds in 2004 instead of 2005.
The house at 2509 Edmonds Ave NE is owned by Parkview Group Homes and provides
affordable housing to four deaf/blind Renton residents. The septic system is failing, and
connecting to the sewer will reduce ongoing maintenance costs. Renton CDBG funds
were previously used to help in the purchase of this home. The Renton Human Services
Advisory Committee recommends $15,000 in unallocated 2004 CDBG capital funds be
used for this purpose.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
In February of 2004, Council authorized staff to proceed with the establishment of a Special
Assessment District for the purpose of extending a sewer main in NE 2nd Street east of Lyons Avenue
NE. The purpose for this extension was to provide sanitary sewer service to five existing residences
who were experiencing severe septic system problems from the winter rains. The Council also
authorized staff to allow the extension to be installed as part of a developer extension related to the
Conner Homes Development known as the Sienna Plat, which is adjacent to these homes. All work is
now complete and the City is ready to complete the Special Assessment District and make payment for
the sewer extension to the Developer.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends that Council accept the Final Special
Assessment District establishing a per unit charge of $4,800, and that the ordinance regarding this
matter be presented for first reading.
It is further recommended that the Council authorize staff to make final payment to the developer for
the extension of the sewer main in NE 2' Street for the final payment amount of $82,290.62.

April 21, 2004
Page 2
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
In January of 2004, residents along NE 2nd Street, east of Lyons Avenue NE contacted
staff regarding septic system issues. After evaluating several options for service, it was
determined that the best overall method for the provision of sewer service was to extend
an 8-inch sewer main along NE 2nd Street adjacent to the existing homes to provide the
service. In order to best facilitate this extension, we contacted Conner Homes, who is
developing the Sienna -Plat -adjacent to this area and asked if -they- would perform the -
extension as part of a developer extension to be paid by the City.
In February 2004, Council authorized staff to proceed with the formation of a special
assessment district for the sewer extension and authorized staff to proceed with the
developer extension to install the facilities. At the time of the Council action, staff
estimated that the extension would cost approximately $45,000 and that the cost per
connection for the special assessment district would be $4,500 per unit connected.
Staff prepared and submitted the Preliminary Special Assessment District package for
each of the five properties to be included in the district and mailed the packages out on
February 24, 2004. The process included a 20-day appeal period for the formation of
the district. Thanks in part to the hard work of one of the property owners getting the
information out to each of the other property owners; we had no appeals to the formation
of the District.
At the end of February, we received our quote from the developer's contractor for the
work to be performed at an estimated cost of approximately $56,000. We authorized the
work to proceed at that time. During the month of March and into early April, the
contractor installed the line and repaired the roadway. The overall installation of the
sewer main went well. We did however run into two significant additional cost items.
The first was impact to the existing WD 90 water line that required the contractor to
utilize specialized backfill materials to protect their facilities. The second, and bigger
cost item, was that the existing roadway base was very sub -standard, which caused the
roadway to have significant failure as we installed the line.
The contractor's original estimate only included standard backfill and standard asphalt
patching as part of his bid. The changed field conditions required the contractor to
utilize control density backfill around the water crossings and required that the entire
width of the roadway for the 300-foot installation be re -constructed versus the simple
patch. These changes resulted in significant, unanticipated additional costs. Our final
cost for the installation of the sewer main and full restoration is $82,290.62. Although
this is a significant increase from the original estimate, the additional costs are justified
to meet the changed field conditions, and the Wastewater Utility does have sufficient
funds within its Miscellaneous Project Account to cover these costs.
HAFile Sys\WWP - WasteWater\WWP-27-XXXX NE 2nd St - Lyons Ave\Final_ SAD_Issue.doc\DMCtp
April 21, 2004
Page 3
As a result of the additional costs, staff evaluated the methodology of cost distribution
per unit to determine if we could better spread the total costs. We re -calculated the
potential total number of units that could develop in this area from the original 10 units
to a new potential total of 17 units. This number is based upon a "best case" scenario of
potential development at the zoning currently allowed. While this number is optimistic,
it is a potential possibility, and as such, justifies a revision of number of total
developable units.
Using the new costs and dividing by the revised unit calculation, we end up with a per
unit cost of $4,840.62. We are recommending that we round this number to a final per
unit charge of $4,800. Although this number is slightly higher than our original
estimated unit cost of $4,500, staff feels that the minor increase from the estimate still
represents a very fair cost for this main extension performed.
CONCLUSION:
The installation of the sewer main is complete and all work involved with that installation
was performed to the satisfaction of the Utility. As such, we are now ready to
recommend that the Final Special Assessment District for this improvement be approved
with a per unit cost of $4,800. We further recommend that the Council authorize staff to
make payment to the developer for the costs of this extension in the final price amount of
$82,290.62.

PER UNIT ASSESSMENT
$4,800.00
On February 24, 2004, I, Bonnie I. Walton, the City Clerk of Renton, Washington, mailed you a
notice of potential assessment for sanitary sewer improvements associated with the NE 2nd Sanitary
Sewer Main Extension Project. We have now completed construction of these sewer facilities. The
facilities, as shown on the attached map, are eligible for cost recovery under City Special Assessment
District Ordinance No. 4444.
For those properties that could receive benefit directly by the sewers, future use would trigger
payment of a 'fair share' cost of the sewer. This assessment is calculated, as a unit charge, by dividing
the cost of the conveyance portion of the sewer by the number of units projected for the basin served
by this main. This rate has been established at $4,800.00 per unit.
The purpose of the assessment district is to allow the City the ability to collect the costs of the
construction of the sewer facilities from all those who benefit from its construction. To accomplish
this, we are required to record an ordinance which will serve as a notice of potential assessment. This
ordinance will establish a boundary that includes any parcel that may benefit in the future. It is our
goal to ensure, in fairness to all, that any property owner that connects at a later date pays their share
just like those who will connect right away. The benefit area is defined as the ultimate service area
that the facility may be able to serve. This boundary is shown on the attached map.
You will only be required to pay this assessment when the property gains benefit from these
sewer facilities. Until that time, the property can be sold or change hands without triggering the
assessment. Benefit from these sewer facilities can be described as follows:
A property not currently connected to a City sewer facility (i.e., currently utilizing an on -site
system or a vacant parcel), that connects to the sewer system associated with this district will
trigger the assessment. Until then, the assessment will not be triggered.
For those properties that are already connected to City sewer, this assessment will only be
triggered if the property increases its density either by change of use (i.e., single family to multi-
family) or through increased density within the same use (i.e., further subdivision of land for
single family).
You will not be required to pay the assessment unless one of the above situations occurs. However,
the assessment district will accrue simple interest at a rate of 5.93% per annum for a period of ten
years. The accrual of interest will begin thirty (30) days after the notice of potential assessment is
recorded with King County Records. To avoid interest charges at a future date, you may pay the
amount of assessment during the thirty -day period after recording, interest free. This option is totally
at the discretion of the property owner.
Some properties within the boundary of this special assessment district are currently within other city
held special assessment districts. Each property will only be responsible to pay the charges for the
special assessment districts that they derive benefit from.
Per City Ordinance No. 4444 you may request an appeal hearing by writing to the Renton City
Council, c/o City Clerk, 1055 S. Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055, within twenty (20) days of this
mailing (by TBA, 5:00 P.M.).
Grounds for protest:
An appeal shall include a statement of claimed errors that concern the proposed
assessment and must be accompanied by a-$75.00-non-refundable fee. Errors which are - not set forth in writing will not be considered. Pursuant to City Ordinance No. 4444,
Section 9-16-9.0 and D, the only items of appeal that will be considered are the cost of
the facilities, the costs distribution methodology and the issue of benefit to the properties
to be assessed
Appeal Fee and Appeal Process:
A non-refundable appeal fee in the amount of $75.00 shall be submitted with each
appeal. If a protest is received and deemed timely and establishes a proper grounds for
protest according to City Ordinance, a public hearing will be held. If no protests are
received, the above -quoted notice of potential assessment will be recorded against your
property. The charge(s) will not be collected until you subsequently tap onto or use the
facilities covered by the Special Assessment District notice.
We hope that this notice will answer most of your questions. If you do, however, have questions
pertaining to sewer installations, the background of the assessment district, or the appeal process,
please contact Dave Christensen at 425-430-7212.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The supplemental agreement provides for the design work needed to complete PS&E plans for
Phase 1 of the portion of roadway work in the vicinity of the I-405/SR 169 location. The City has
decided to phase the construction into two phases: Phase 1 will construct a signal near the
Stoneway property, an access road to the park, and the parking lot portion of the project; and,
Phase 2 will construct the widening improvements along SR 169. Design work includes
modifying the access road/parking lot water detention and treatment to be independent from
Phase 2; gain approval from WSDOT on channelization for the intersection; and, to design the
signalized intersection to match the existing SR 169 width.
On April 19, 2004, City Council approved the ordinance to increase the Transportation Capital
Improvement Fund 317 budget from the receipt of the King County Mitigation revenue. From
this approved increase, the SR 169 budget line for 2004 increased from $50,000 to $1,250,000 to
fund the full design and construction of Phase 1.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Transportation Division staff recommends that the Council authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute the Supplemental Agreement with Perteet Engineering, Inc. for additional
preliminary engineering services in the amount of $73,660.

RECOMMENDATION:
The Transportation Division staff recommends that the Council authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute the Supplemental Agreement with Perteet Engineering, Inc. for additional
preliminary engineering services in the amount of $73,660.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The City has decided to phase the construction due to funding issues and the City's agreement
with Stoneway property to provide a signalized access. The construction will now be in two
phases: Phase 1 will construct the new signal, access road, and parking lot portion of the project;
and, Phase 2 will construct the widening improvements along State Route 169. On April 19,
2004, City Council approved the ordinance to increase the Transportation Capital Improvement
Fund 317 budget from the receipt of the King County Mitigation revenue. From this approved
increase, the SR 169 budget line for 2004 increased from $50,000 to $1,250,000 to fund the full
design and construction of Phase 1.
The supplemental agreement provides the design work needed to complete PS&E plans for
Phase 1 of the portion of roadway work at the I-405 location. Design work includes modifying

Phase 1— Park Access and Traffic Signal
INTRODUCTION
This work supplements the scope of services to accommodate construction of the new access road and traffic signal
for Cedar River Park and the Stoneway site as well as the parking lot expansion on the southeast edge of the park.
The existing park access opposite Shari's Restaurant will be closed to comply with WSDOT and the signal at that
location will be modified to accommodate the reconfigured intersection. It is assumed that a modified signal will be
installed under the current signal permit approved by WSDOT, therefore a new signal permit from WSDOT for the
signal is not anticipated or included in this agreement. Channelization plans for WSDOT approval will be developed
for the modified access.
Improvements are anticipated to include the new park and Stoneway access with curb returns, sidewalks, retaining
walls, signals, channelization, signing, storm drainage, illumination and landscaping. Temporary sidewalk
connections between the new access road and existing Maple Valley Highway will be provided. Widening of Maple
Valley Highway to provide additional lanes such as an eastbound right -turn lane or bus pullout lane are not included
in this scope of services.
It is assumed that closure of the existing park access will consist of placement of a physical barrier such as tempora.,
concrete barrier across the access. Signal modifications will consist of removal of signal heads no longer in use.
Other improvements at this location, such as sidewalk, curb, parking lot or landscaping modifications are not
included in this scope of services.
The storm conveyance for the park access road and parking lot will connect into the existing storm pipe system
located at the terminus of the new access road where it intersects with the existing access road. The stormwater
facilities will be designed in accordance with the City of Renton drainage standards. Stormwater quality treatment
will be provided by the addition of a wetvault. Structural design for the wetvault will be provided by a licensed
structural engineer with the supplier.
A portion of the right-of-way and easement to be acquired from the Stoneway parcel for ultimate improvements on
Maple Valley Highway will be donated to the City for construction of the new access road. Right-of-way and
easement legal descriptions previously prepared for the Stoneway parcel will be revised to accommodate phasing of
construction for the access road.
The scope of services of the basic agreement is amended to add the following scope of services items under Phase 1.
All provisions of the basic agreement remain in effect except as expressly modified by this supplement:

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
After much discussion at the staff level, the City Staff and the KC Metro Staff agreed on a leasing
formula to accommodate Metro's needs to find parking for its riders and the City's need for revenue
to support the Parking garage. The formula recognizes that KC Metro parking is filling space that
probably would otherwise be vacant in the garage yet the fee is sufficient to cover the City's
operating costs for the parking provided. The lease arrangement also provides for price escalations
as the garage becomes more heavily used by both Metro and by City users.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Council concur in authorizing the Mayor to enter into the lease agreement with KC Metro
for spaces in the parking garage that start at 100 stalls with the possibility of expanding to 200
stalls over the term of the lease.

SUBJECT: KC Metro Lease for parking spaces in the Parking Garage
DATE: May 3, 2004
ISSUES:
Should the City of Renton enter into a five year lease agreement (with two options to
renew) with KC Metro to allow them parking privileges in the City Center Parking
Structure?
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Renton City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the lease with KC Metro.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY
• In late 2003 McClendon's purchased the K-Mart property on Rainier Avenue
to relocate their hardware store. This purchase eliminated approximately 250
surface parking spaces from the KC Metro parking inventory.
• The K-mart lot will no longer be available to KC Metro upon completion of the
McClendon renovation (June 2004).
• KC Metro started an investigation to acquire property upon which to build a
park and ride lot on Rainier Avenue. The City responded with a surface lot
moratorium in December 2003.
• After considerable negotiations with KC Metro staff the following lease
agreement was developed for presentation to the City Council. The lease
agreement (TAB A) attempts to strike a balance between: (1) the KC Metro
view of not paying more than a surface lot rental would cost until such time as
the parking garage is reasonably full and (2) the City view of covering our
costs.
• The principle features of the agreement are:
➢ The agreement covers 200 parking stalls on the 4tn to 7tn floors of the
parking garage. Retail parking on the 1st through 3rd floors is not affected.
➢ The first 100 parking stalls will be leased at $10.00 per stall per month
➢ Between 100 and 200 stalls KC Metro agrees to pay $15 per stall for those
over 100.
➢ Once 261 stalls are used because of City plus Metro parking demand, the
fee for KC Metro's 200 parking stalls increases _to $20.00 per stall.
➢ The term of the lease is five years with two, five-year, options to renew.
➢ There is a 365-day cancellation clause to give KC Metro time to find
alternative parking solutions.
➢ This is a full service lease so the City is responsible for facilities
management and utilities. This is consistent with what the City would have
to do with all parking users.
➢ KC Metro will provide signs subject to the City's approval.
➢ KC Metro will not be allowed to mark any stalls for their use only.
• There is also a letter (TAB B) that clarifies the details of the agreement.
CONCLUSION
This agreement provides some revenue to the City during the period when we have
excess parking available. The City has protected its ability to raise fees sufficiently to
recover costs at a point in the future when parking demand grows sufficiently to
warrant fee increases.
TAB A
PARK AND RIDE LOT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 1st day of June, 2004 by and between
THE CITY OF RENTON, its successors and assigns, hereinafter together called the "Owner",
and KING COUNTY, acting through its Department of Transportation, its successors and
assigns, hereinafter together called "KCDOT".
WHEREAS, the Owner and KCDOT together built the Renton Transit Center at South

utilization of public transportation, additional parking is needed for transit customers; and
WHEREAS, the Owner is willing to allow transit customers to use space in its parking
garage according to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, conditions and covenants herein
contained, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to the
following:
1. Purpose: This Agreement is intended to encourage the "Owner" to permit transit and
rideshare commuters, hereinafter called "commuters", to use a portion of the "Owner's" property
(hereinafter referred to as "Premises" and described in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and
made a part hereof) for a park and ride lot. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating a
tenancy between "KCDOT" and the "Owner".
Draft...City of Renton/King County Agreement
Municipal Garage Parking Agreement; Created on 4/27/2004 1:17 PM
Page 1 of 6
2. Payment: In consideration of "KCDOT" paying the sum of Ten Dollars and 00/100's
$10.00 per parking space per month, the "Owner" agrees to allow commuters to use 100
parking spaces located on the "Premises" located on floors 4, 5, 6 and 7 and as shown in Exhibit
A, under the terms and conditions stated herein. Concurrent with the execution of this
Agreement and each quarter thereafter, until the Agreement is terminated, "KCDOT" agrees to
make payment in advance of Three ThousandDollars and 00/100 ($3,000.00), the amount due for
the following quarter for use of the parking spaces referenced above. If the demand for parking
increases and the parties mutually agree that more than 100 spaces are needed, the "Owner"
agrees to allow commuters to use up to 99 additional parking spaces located on the "Premises"
and as shown in Exhibit A, under the terms and conditions stated herein and in consideration of
"KCDOT" paying the additional sum of Fifteen Dollars and 00/100's ($15.00), per month for
each additional parking space. If the demand for parking further increases and the parties
determine that up to, but not exceeding 200 total parking spaces are needed, the "Owner" agrees
to allow commuters to use up to 200 parking spaces located on the "Premises" and as shown in
Exhibit A, under the terms and conditions stated herein and in consideration of "KCDOT paying

or damage accruing to the "Premises". No fee shall be charged to commuters for parking in the
garage under the terms and allowable time periods covered by this Agreement unless mutually
agreed to by the Owner and KCDOT in writing prior to imposing said fees.
3. Term: This Agreement shall be in full force and effect and binding upon the parties
hereto beginning June 1, 2004 and shall continue thereafter until terminated in accordance with
this section. After the first five years of this Agreement or on or about May 30, 2009, and every
5 years thereafter for a period of 15 years or greater, the parties will survey vehicle occupancy in
the building. If 80% of the City's fee based 361 parking spaces are utilizated by the public on
typical weekdays between 9 am and 6 pm, , then the parties shall agree to renegotiate the terms of
the Agreement to allow the city to recover up to Twenty Dollars and 00/100 ($20.00) per space
per month, for the 200 parking spaces described in Section 2 above, or a quarterly sum not to

Re: Letter of Understanding: Renton Municipal Garage Commuter Parking Operations
Dear Mr. Culp:
As follow-up to my April 9, 2004 letter, you communicated by e-mail that clear marking of the
commuter parking spaces in the garage is unacceptable to the City. While Metro strongly recommends
such marking as mentioned in the letter, the City is concerned about potential inconveniences to other
customers.
As per our discussion of April 14, the intent of this letter is to reach a compromise on how the garage will
be managed including measuring the thresholds outlined in the underlying agreement. The following is
proposed:
1. Directional signage will be provided for commuters to access the garage 5 A.M. to 11 P.M. on the
fourth floor and above. There are 361 parking spaces on floors four and above of which the City is
proposing to reserve up to 200 spaces for commuter use per our pending agreement. We agree that no
spaces on these floors will be marked at this time (first come, first served).
2. Metro understands the City will automatically close the garage doors at 11 P.M. restricting entry.
3. Metro will conduct once a month "Commuter parking" counts of vehicles parking in the garage
(during the beginning of the month on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) at the end of the AM peak
commute period to document "Commuter parking" in the garage. Metro will conduct late evening
counts once a month (during the beginning of the month on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) to
document "Long-term parking" in the garage when the thresholds for parking fee increases mentioned
in the agreement appear to be reached.
4. The City will provide the County with documentation of monthly subscribers to the garage including
vehicle license information that the City certifies as being eligible for residual "Long term parking".
5. Monthly parking counts will be averaged quarterly. "Long-term parking" counts as documented
above will be subtracted from "Commuter parking" counts as noted above for the purpose of
establishing the formula for quarterly payments as cited in the proposed agreement thresholds.
6. Given the uncertainties of parking demand, the parties agree to meet bi-annually, or as otherwise
necessary, to review garage operations and parking controls. Additional signage beyond that provided
by the County at the start of operations will be the responsibility of the City.
