OFFICIALS
SPECIAL ISSUES
Amend Aeenda
Resolution of intent to annex
property to the City of Renton
Robertson inquired if there were provisions in Renton laws to support the
area's wetland classification.
JOHN MCFARLAND, City Administration; LINDA COHEN, City Attorney;
LUCY LAUTERBACH, Council Analyst; ROSS EARNST, Public Works
Director; RON CAMERON, City Engineer; RANDY BERG, Projects
Manager; RICK BEELER, DCD Director; DON WILLIAMS, Parks
Recreation Director.
The Council agreed to amend the agenda to discuss "Resolution of intent to
annex property to the City of Renton" as the first item under "SPECIAL
ISSUES."
City Administrator John McFarland informed the Council that some weeks ago
we were requested by a property owner representative to consider annexing to
the City of Renton a small portion of the property adjacent to the Rabanco site
that was part of the Fire District #1 Annexation. This would allow its
annexation to Renton to accommodate the Anmarco Company's desire to be
located in one jurisdiction and would simplify Tukwila's boundary.
Mr. David Hallin, Representative of Anmarco Development Company, pointed
out on a map the exact location of the approximately .65 acres of land being
requested. He stated that the particular area is wetland and is not developable.
He said since all of the area is in contiguous ownership (owned by his client),
he thought it best to work with one municipality in dealing with development
related issues. Also, since Renton has been involved in the Black River Waste
Reduction Center and has utilities in the area, they seem to be the logical
choice.

Vactor waste facility
Consultant contract
McFarland responded that the Department of the Army, Seattle District, Corps
of Engineers, dated February 4, 1992, Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
reads: "Wetlands on the site have been determined to be an adjacent
wetland,." which then would require a Corps 404 permitting process to be able
to develop. He said according to Mr. Beeler, the area is Corps controlled,
Corps jurisdiction wetland.
The Council expressed concerns about the noise and the aesthetics that might
impact the golf course as a result of this transaction.
McFarland explained there are other steps involved in the actual transfer of
land interlocal agreement and an ordinance. However, tonight's discussion is
focusing on the "resolution of intent" to see if the Council is in agreement to
proceed with this request.
Councilmember Craft inquired why this issue had not gone to a committee.
McFarland responded that due to the complexity of the issue he thought the
full Council should review it.

After a few more brief comments, the Council agreed to forward the resolution
of intent to the next Regular Council meeting.
Don Williams, Parks Recreation and Randy Berg, Public Works, briefed the
Council on what elements and facts they should consider and use while
evaluating architectural firms. He informed them that the three teams of
consultants will present information about their project team and the center site
and floor plans on June 30. Within two weeks the Council should rank their
preferred first and second choices for the Mayor to negotiate a design
contract.
The Council requested that a copy of stars and administration's comments be
provided to them to aid in their decision making. The Mayor agreed that this
information will be provided.
The Council agreed that after the June 30 meeting the issue will be forwarded
to the July 5 Regular meeting to allow public comments; then on to the July 11
Special Meeting where a decision will be made of the selection on one of the
architectural firm.
Ross Earnst, Public Works, informed the Council that the consultant will
conduct a study to determine the most appropriate vactor waste facility to
handle and dispose of waste materials from city maintenance operations. The
study includes a feasibility analysis, site acquisition, permits and PS E.
