(( PUBLIC HEARING: Appeals of Planning Commission decisions on rezone requests. 1. St. Andrews Lodge No. 35, F. & A.M. - denial of P-1 zoning. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communication from the Planning Director was read outlining procedures and recommendations by the Commission to date and basis for the denial of the rezone. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Delaurenti, that the hearing be continued until June 26th which action was requested by the petitioners per Attorney John Dobson. Carried. 2. Sweazey-Werstiuk Enterpries, appeal of denial of R-4 zoning. This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communication from Planning Director Ericksen outlined action taken to date noting that the property is located off S.E. 94th Street Easterly of 108th Place S.E. across from the Kennydale Elementary School, extending to the East and then northerly into the May Creek area. Approximately one-third of the property is hillside and unusable for building purposes. The subject property was recently annexed to Renton prior to which the front portion along 108th Place S.E. for approximately 100 ft. was zoned for multi-family residential use (RM-900) by King County. The Commission felt a low density multiple zoning for the upper portion was feasible, the high density development exceeding practical limitations; 300 units as proposed resulting in 80-100 units per acre on the upper portion. The multi-family development was considered premature since sewers are not available to serve the area, also, the problem of access and increased traffic would compound an already critical situation on 108th Place S.E. and S.E. 94th. Inclusion of the portion in May Creek area was not considered feasible. The Commission recommended to the Council that R-2 zoning would be suitable at this time but excluding the Northeasterly portion extending into the May Creek area. Mr. E. A. Sweazey, 9418 - 108th Place S.E. addressed the Council advising that the total area of the subject property is between 72-8 acres, and that it presently looks like a jungle in part. Pictures were distributed from various views and Mr. Sweazey recalled that he had been requested to assist in annexing the entire area which annexation was effected and it had been his understanding that he would be permitted equal zoning as allowed by the County Planning Commission and if he had proceeded he would now have the apartments built, however he feels he has approximately 5 acres which may be utilized for apartment use and in discussing the matter of sewers with Mr. Gibbs of Metro it was indicated that if 1200 users were available a line could come up nearly to Honey Creek and they decided to pursue the sewers and have proper service for the project. He did feel he is entitled to equivalent zoning as when the property was annexed. Mr. Brower, Renton Planning Commission Members inquired as to portion which was zoned Multiple by the County and Mr. Sweazey advised that 120 x 550 ft. plus a 20 ft. alley were covered by the County zoning in off the road. Inquiry was made regarding Metro service and Mr. Sweazey noted that Metro had indicated that the more apartments he would be able to get zoning for the more he could sign up towards the 1000-1200 required for bringing in the service and it was his intention to pursue the installation on accellerated basis upon rezone of his property which he felt was to the interest of the entire area since the sewers would be available to present residents as well. It was noted that Metro would not serve an area outside the City, and that the City Code would not permit septic tank service. -1- ee' �0 `'+ vc a ,• vie ' Q•m 1 i,- 111 LI, 208--, -'� \ ,�o 1'? olio ,Uj. •• .�� 1 kti Jo � ~ _. 1.' 6 r.:P.� a P-1 - 1 --- s 7 2T Z14 =I� sS �• = I i7 !1i 1 .1 FireI m , ; sort i He - mop immism. \\ •20 0'1 mem WI�� 1iiii , 28 23 2:! 11;')15,1111 e RIM aim �® 141 '1 ,, d . . ..4,,, ; G-.7200 Al - f itrta ' \ .64 ! z, .... +I.: _ n n••.vt1 6 rt es maw. , 1 1 i \iniMk- r Iiiihr I II PIP"Stn UMI4fif 45 Tv TA R-3 lin IllaWA NI • `` i * , , 7- ina_miEs . wimpIII Li Fri ELS924111 Ramr„ "Id;pa •,, ti MEI Ez.R S IS ala i „urn•s NEW. - e Mr( Sn 0 Ill'�V,, ,� IRS MO I -au/ 'ell* • � ,y 9T g� �s IL'>!i PA a� Aare ",1`! �ooa©o;mdo0�_dr�A"t.

PUBLIC HEARING: Vacation of portion of alley located south of South 2nd Street and West of Logan Avenue - George Ames et ux property. (Hearing continued from 4-24-67) This being the date set the hearing was declared continued, however, since petitioners . representative had been delayed, it was moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, to table the matter until later in the meeting. Carried. COMMUNICATIONS: Petition for annexation of property in Northerly section of Kennydale Island area was read. The document contained required statement of willingness to assume pro-rata shares of the City's pre-existing bonded indebtedness. (Vicinity of S.E. 84th and Lake Wn. Blvd.) Moved by Hulse, seconded by Schellert, to refer the petition to the City Engineer to check validity of signatures. Carried. mOr Letter from Dobson, Houser & Dobson, Attorneys, by John W. Dobson, written on behalf of St. Andrews Lodge No. 35, F. & A.M., appealed Planning Commission decision to deny a rezone of property between "M" and tls." Streets on 10th Avenue North, from SR-1 to P-1. Pedersen rioted that the requested zoning was not in accord with the Land Use Map and inquired regarding proper action to be taken. Planning Director Ericksen reported that the area is presently zoned SR-1, single family residential and this is also projected for the future use of the area. City Attorney Shellan advised that the applicants have the right to appeal but the Council cannot legally proceed if the proposed zoning does not agree with the Comprehensive Plan. Planning Director Ericksen stated that the applicants are aware of this fact but wished to submit the appeal with hope that it would result in a study to determine feasibility of their plan to build a facility with Medical-Dental offices on the main floor and Lodge quarters upstairs, which would be allowed under P-1. In discussion it was pointed out that recent appeals had been denied for multiple zoning in the subject area and that the Planning Commission had decided to reject the proposal since it was pretty well defined that it was not acceptable as submitted. Discussion ensued regarding alternate actions which might be taken which included a change in the zoning ordinance to allow permit for private Lodges, otherwise, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, the former, however not allowing the clinic facili43es which financial support is needed. Moved by Hulse, seconded by Poli, that the date of May 15, 1967 be set for hearing on the matter, applicants to be notified that since the request is not in accord with the Comprehensive Plan it likely will not be granted. Hulse pointed out that the Comprehensive Plan is to protect the people and the City and the issue is not ' how to evade the plan but whether the people are willing and the facility is a proper one for the area. Dahlquist felt it would be an improvement to the present condition of the property and that progress should not be deterred. The Planning Director stated position of the Planning Staff as far a changes are concerned, their advice to applicant being that they can submit a letter to the Planning Commission requesting study or they :, may make official application and request that the Commission hold this for study and possible change in the Comprehensive Plan, and this is what the present applicants were told, however they wished to make application in order to have this as official action on their part. After further discussion on applicants intent for a study, possible rezone actions and speculation of conclusions and facts a public hearing would bring forth, the pending motion for hearing and notification to applicants carried. -1- • Renton Planning Commission Meeting April 26, 1967 ' Minutes Page 2 The Chairman described the application. The Planning Director pointed out the location of the property on the zoning map and stated that the plat meets all requirements of the Platting Ordinance.

REZONE .APPLICATIONS Chairman Garrison stated that with the permission of the Commission he would like to move down the agenda to item (i) in order to accommodate a large group in the audience who were present to participate in the hearing. There were no objections. * (i) ST. ANDREWS LODGE NO. 35 F. &A.M. , APPL. NO. R-393-67; REZONE FROM GS-1 TO P-1; PROPERTY LOCATED ON 10TH AVE. N . BETWEEN M AND N STS . The Chairman described the rezone application. The Planning Director pointed out the location of the property on the zoning map and described the development of surrounding areas. Photographs of the property were passed around among the Planning Commission members. The Planning Director explained that the applicant proposes to build a two-story structure containing on the first floor medical and dental offices to be leased and lodge hall facilities on the second floor. The property is presently vacant, wooded land. The Chairman stated that while a P-1 zone would permit the above use, the Comprehensive Plan should show P-1 areas as public or quasi-public uses; thus the proposed use would require a change in the Comprehensive Plan. Comments from the audience were called for. Mr. Ralph Evans residing'oni10th Place N. ; Mr. Phil Mangel of 3321 10th Ave. N. ; Mr. Robert Kelly, 1037 N Court; Mr. Guy Harris, 3221 10th Ave. N. ; and Mr. George May, 1312 10th Court N. all spoke in opposition to the proposed rezone citing the commercial aspect of the proposed use; the fact that medical and dental offices already exist close by and more facilities of this nature are not really : needed; and the lessening of the residential nature of their neigh- borhood. Mr. James O. Wood, representing the lodge, spoke on behalf of the rezone, stating that the lodge had outgrown its facilities located in downtown Renton. He explained that the lodge is presently located at 217 Williams Street as a non-conforming use, and they are unable to enlarge the facilities or supply additional parking. The Chairman read into the record a letter from St. Andrews Lodge signed by Daryl T. Orseth, Secretary, outlining their reasons for the rezone. Mr. Don Bogard, architect for the lodge, spoke on behalf of the proposed rezone. Renton Planning Commission Meeting April 26 , 1967 Minutes Page 3 Stredicke asked inasmuch as a change in the Comprehensive Plan to show P-1 areas. as public or quasi-public uses would have to be made, could the Commission consider this rezone. The Planning Director stated that it was virtually impossible to predict with any degree of accuracy where a church or private school might locate and that to designate P-1 zones on the Comprehensive Plan would not be feasible. Teegarden stated that as the applicant proposes to put a lodge hall on the second floor and commercial offices on the first floor which would be rented out, he felt that these offices would be commercial operations incompatible with the residential area and in conflict with the Compre- hensive Plan. He stated further that he did not think the Commission could act favorably on the rezone request. There being no further comments, it was moved by Stredicke, seconded by Sterling, that the hearing be closed. Motion carried with Racanello dissenting. ACTION : It was moved by Stredicke, seconded by Stone, that the rezone application of St. Andrews Lodge be denied as it is not in agreement with the Compre- hensive Plan. Motion carried with Racanello dissenting. Upon further discussion regarding recommending to the City Council the Commission' s opinion of the best possible zoning for the property, it was moved by Teegarden, seconded by Racanello, that the Commission forward to the City Council a recommendation of R-1 zoning on the subject property. Motion carried unanimously. The Chairman advised the applicant that he had the right of appeal of the decision of the Planning Commission by letter to the City Council within 10 days. (c) SWEAZEY-WERSTIUK ENTERPRISES, APPL. NO. R-.386-67; REZONE FROM G TO R-4; PROPERTY LOCATED AT 9418 - 108TH PL. S . E . The Chairman described the rezone application, and the Planning Director pointed out the location of the property on the zoning map. Prior to annexation of the property to the city of Renton, a strip of land front- ing on 108th P1. S.E. , 100 feet in depth, was zoned by the county for multi-family residential use. The Planning Director stated that the use of the property as shown on the Comprehensive Plan was subject to inter- pretation. It was felt that multi-family use is somewhat questionable at this time due to lack of sewers, but that the use might be feasible in the future. Slides of the property were shown. The applicant, Mr. J. D. Sweazey, spoke on behalf of the proposed rezone, stating that it was his hope to develop 300 multi-family residential apartments utilizing a natural green belt area. Mr. Racanello asked the applicant if he would accept R-2 zoning on the property which would permit low-density multiple construction, townhouses, etc. Mr. Sweazey replied that he would prefer R-4 zoning. There being no further comments , it was moved by Teegarden, seconded by Cordell, that the hearing be closed. Motion carried with Stredicke dissenting. ACTION : It was moved by Stredicke, seconded by Sterling, that the rezone applica- tion of Sweazey-Werstiuk Enterprises for R-4 zoning be denied inasmuch as the applicant would not consider other zoning. Motion carried unanimous- ly. Some discussion then ensued concerning recommending to the City Council the proper zoning for the property in question.
