scribers .

that the purpose of the task force was not to dup-
licate what had been done but to emphasize what
can be done, noting especially that the recycling
program did not serve apartment complexes larger
than a four-plex, although 68% of the population
lives in multi-family dwellings. He stated that
his aim was to broaden the existing program.

tion provided for members of the task force to be

Freeway/Arterial System Study for
Tukwila , Renton , Auburn , and Kent
( FASSTRAK 3
CONCLUSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of FASSTRAK is to identify and gain concurrence on
the freeway system improvements and additions in the study area
that should be investigated further . The types of freeway
improvements considered included additional freeway lanes for
general traffic , freeway-related facilities for transit and HOVs ,
interchange improvements , and new interchanges . These
improvements are intended to maintain acceptable traffic
operations (for general traffic , transit, and HOVs) in the
future , and to provide adequate and convenient access to growing
residential , commercial , and industrial areas . The implications
of maintaining freeway system access and mobility go far beyond
the boundaries of the study area, because business and economic
activity of firms located in South King County plays a major role
in the economic health and vitality of the region , the state , and
the nation .
Planning , technical , and policy considerations imposed
important requirements on the set of freeway system improvements
developed by FASSTRAK. Planning considerations dictated that
freeway improvements be developed to maintain freeway system
access and mobility in the future for the forecasted growth in
population and employment. On the technical side , conceptual
designs that facilitate acceptable freeway traffic operations
with the forecasted volumes were required for each of the freeway
improvements considered . And , finally , the entire set of
recommendations , including recommended improvements and actions ,
had to be consistent with established regional transportation
policies .
POLICY CONS I D E R AT TONS
The adopted Regional Transportation Plan (RTP ) contains a
number of specific policies and recommendations that guided the
FASSTRAK analysis and the development of FASSTRAK
recommendations . The thrust of these policies as they relate to
FASSTRAK is that in meeting regional mctility an�_ accesc- need_ ,
non-capital-intensive alternatives and transit alternatives
should be pursued first . If these alternatives do not pr;:, ide an
adequate solution . road capacity increases should be considered
( see RTP Excerpt #1 ) .
FASSTRAK Conclusions
& Recommendations
Page 2
Over the last few years , non-capital-intensive and transit
alternatives have begun to be assessed and are being pursued
regionally and by some individual jurisdictions and agencies .
Examples of such efforts include the Multi-Corridor Study and the
Model TSM Ordinance . In keeping with the RTP recommendations ,
FASSTRAK analyses and recommendations assume the extensive and
successful implementation of the planned transit and ridesharing
projects and programs . Thus , the FASSTRAK recommendations
address mobility and access needs beyond those that could be met
by transit, ridesharing , or other non-capital-intensive
alternatives .
-... The FASSTRAK analyses and recommendations also are supportive
of regional transportation and land use policy in that they focus
on existing freeway facilities . These are the facilities that
will serve the increasing traffic volumes generated by growth at
existing activity centers . Encouraging the concentration of
growth at existing centers is a key element of regional policy
( see RTP Excerpt #2 ) .
A final note : throughout the FASSTRAK study process , it has
been the expectation of the King Subregional Council that the
study ' s final recommendations would be incorporated into the
updated RTP .
ASSUMPTIONS
A number of assumptions were incorporated into the FASSTRAK
technical analyses in order to reflect the policy considerations
described above . In particular , the peak hour traffic volume
forecasts on which the FASSTRAK analyses were based were reduced
to the maximum extent possible by transit, ridesharing , spreading
of the peak , and congestion-induced changes in travel patterns :
1 . The vehicle trip tables used in the FASSTRAK analyses used
congested conditions as the basis for determining relative
" accessibility . Changed travel patterns resulting from
congestion ( e . g . , shorter trips ) are inherent in the vehicle
trip tables used in the analysis .
2 . Traffic volumes were forecasted for a scenario wherein a
regional rail rapid transit system was in place, and transit
had taken as many cars off the road as possible .
3 . Traffic volumes were forecasted for a scenario in which the
planned HOV lanes (on I-5 , I-405 , and elsewhere in the region )
were in place and operating under free-flow conditions . Ti-o s
scenario had therefore assumed that the full traffic-reducing
potential of the HOV lanes was realized .
RTP Excerpt 01
HIGHWAYS, ROADS, AND STREETS RECOMMENDATIONS
1 . Maximize the performance of the highway system by increasing
vehicle occupancy and other non-capital-intensive
alternatives .
2 . Where non-capital-intensive and transit alternatives do not
provide an adequate solution , increase the vehicle capacity of
existing roadways and/or build new ones , where consistent with
subregional policies .
3 . Adapt highway facilities , where justified , to increase the
performance and efficiency of the transit system and to
promote increased vehicle occupancy .
TRANSPORTATION PLAN POLICIES
P..OLI_C.Y__ I. The transportation system shall provide the people of
the region with an acceptable level of accessibility to a
selection of housing areas , employment opportunities ,
recreational and cultural areas , medical services , and shopping
centers :
o Provide a combination of highway and mass transit
improvements in major corridors as required to accommodate
peak period demand at a specific level of service .
POL.I.C.Y....V., The transportation plan shall include system
management strategies and low-capital cost transportation
projects and services that improve the efficiency of the
transportation system.
POLI_CY_VZ... The transportation plan shall include major highway
and capital improvements of mass transit where these are
determined to be necessary based on an evaluation of all possible
alternatives:
o Include recommendations regarding major highway and mass
transit projects where these are supported by multi-
jurisdictional decisions resulting from previous project II
level studies and analysis .
o Propose alternatives where projected travel demand and
other fundamental considerations ,justify detailed analysis
of major capital alternatives .
I
RTP Excerpt #2
TRANSPORTATION PLAN POLICIES
....... The Regional Transportation Plan shall incorporate the
policies of the adopted Regional Development Plan and of the four
subregional plans :
o Improve accessibility consistent with local plans for
accommodating growth and for the orderly extension of other
public facilities .
o Support the activity centers concept , which encourages
concentrations of jobs , shopping , government , business ,
service , and commercial activities in centers defined and
designated in the subregional plans .
P.O.L. ..G.Y......�..I.. The transportation system shall provide the people of
the region with an acceptable level of accessibility to a
selection of housing areas , employment opportunities ,
recreational and cultural areas , medical services , and shopping
centers:
o Encourage development of designated activity centers and
provide a combination of transportation modes ,
improvements , and services suitable for the size and
development density of such centers .
o Plan transportation improvements and new facilities in
conjunction with local redevelopment efforts and local
development policies and objectives .
FASSTRAK Conclusions
& Recommendations
Page 3
4 . The peak hour vehicle trip tables , on which the FASSTRAK
analysis was based , were reduced in order to represent a high
degree of "peak spreading . "
5 . The capacity and level of service analyses assumed high
ridesharing rates , quantitatively represented by an average
vehicle occupancy (AVO) for peak freeway traffic of 1 . 50
persons per car , a highly ambitious assumption (current AVOs
are around 1 . 25 ) .
As a result, the traffic forecasts developed for FASSTRAK are for
minimum expected volumes . Further reduction of these volumes
could only be expected with reduced levels of development or
fundamental changes in travel behavior and lifestyle.
Conversely , failure to achieve the high ridesharing and transit
use rates assumed in the analyses would result in future traffic
volumes even higher than those forecasted .
T RA N S I T/H OV C O N S I d E RATION S
The traffic analyses undertaken for FASSTRAK assume a dramatic
increase in Average Vehicle Occupancy (AVO) . The FASSTRAK
recommendations are based on this ambitious assumption . Actually
reaching this increased AVO will require not only physical road
improvements , but also the widespread and successful
implementation of intensive TSM measures , including public and
private rideshare programs , parking management, and possibly even
congestion pricing . This will require concerted effort on the
part of all jurisdictions and agencies with transportation
responsibilities .
FASSTRAK Conclusions
& Recommendations
Page 4
F I N D I N GS AND CONCLUSIONS
Findings and Conclusions: Future Traffic Volumes
1 . There will be tremendous traffic growth on the freeway and
arterial systems in south King County between now and 2010 .
This conclusion holds true under the various growth scenarios
examined in this study . This tremendous growth was forecasted
despite the fact that the forecasted volumes were "minimized"
by assuming "maximum" utilization of transit and ridesharing :
a. The traffic forecasts developed for this study assume a
dramatic increase in Average Vehicle Occupancy (AVO) .
Reaching this increased AVO will require both physical HOV
improvements and the widespread and successful
implementation of intensive TSM measures , including public
and private rideshare programs , parking management , and
possibly even congestion pricing .
b. The traffic forecasts are also predicated on major transit
improvements , including the regional rail transit system
defined by the Multi-Corridor Study .
2 . The peak traffic periods will spread out ( i .e . , become much
longer ) , and traffic volumes in the peak hour will not grow as
fast as the volumes in the other hours during the peak
periods. Even so , traffic volumes in the peak hour will
increase significantly , and peak hour traffic conditions will
be experienced for several hours .
3 . Traffic increases on the freeway and arterial systems are
forecasted to overfill existing capacity plus the capacity of
major new arterials (e . g . , the 192nd-196th and 277th
Corridors ) assumed to be completed by 2010 .
Findings and Conclusions: Transit/HOV Issues
4 . Achievement of the 1 . 50-persons-per-car Average Auto Occupancy
assumed for the FASSTRAK analysis will require a dramatic
increase in ridesharing . Implementation of the planned HOV
lanes on I-5 and I-405 are consistent with and supportive of
this assumption .
5 . Because there are currently no adopted or accepted criteria
for the minimum level of bus service and HOV volume to guide
the development of an HOV lane on a freeway or an arterial ,
specific recommendations for HOV lanes in the SR-167 Corridor
could not be made .
FASSTRAK Conclusions
& Recommendations
Page 5
6 . If future congestion in the general traffic lanes affects free
flow conditions in the concurrent-flow HOV lanes on study area
freeways , these HOV lanes will not be able to attract or carry
the HOV volumes assumed by the FASSTRAK traffic analysis .
Research on HOV lane operations is needed to support efforts
to ensure that the HOV lanes continue to operate effectively
in the future .
7 . In order to achieve the dramatic increases in AVO assumed in
this study , a continuous HOV system is needed. Such a system
would include , where appropriate , priority treatments for HOVs
on freeways , on freeway ramps , and on arterials .
8 . If the dramatic increases in AVO assumed in this study do
occur by 2010 , the volume of 2' -occupant vehicles would exceed
the capacity of a single HOV lane . Therefore , when the volume
of 2* -occupant vehicles approaches or exceeds the capacity of
a 2+ HOV lane , either the HOV lane should be restricted to
vehicles with 3 or more occupants , or the number of HOV lanes
should be increased .
9 . Due to the high cost of freeway-related transit facilities
(e . g . , transitways , flyer stops , park-and-ride lots , etc . ) ,
the limited amount of space available in and around
transportation rights-of-way , and the traffic conflicts and
congestion at heavily-used intersections and interchanges , the
identification of sites for these freeway-related transit
facilities must be made within the context of an overall long-
range service plan . (That planning effort is currently under
way at Metro . )
Findings and Conclusions: Freeway-related Issues
10 . Improvements to existing freeways will be needed to support a
land use and development policy that encourages infilling ,
densification and the focusing of new development at existing
activity centers . Increased density makes transit service
more feasible and effective , but another result of this kind
of development will be greatly increased traffic volumes on
existing facilities . It should be further noted that various
TSM actions will need to accompany increasing density in
order to achieve the high auto occupancy rates assumed for
this study .
Alternative land use policies allowing less dense , more
spread-out development would require similar improvements to
existing facilities . But in addition , such policies would
also result in the need for construction of new facilities--
facilities that would be more expensive and have far greater
environmental and right-of-way impacts .
FASSTRAK Conclusions
& Recommendations
Page 6
11 . There is a need to improve and expand the capacity of all
three freeways in the study area ( I-5 , I-405 , and SR-167 ) in
order to i ) provide safe and effective facilities for transit
and HOVs , and ii ) to provide additional capacity for general
traffic increases that would occur even with extensive HOV
use .
12 . Due to increased traffic demand , there is a need to improve
existing freeway interchanges and to add new interchanges
( including HOV facilities) , in order to i ) provide adequate
and convenient access to growing residential , commercial , and
industrial areas in the freeway trafficshed , and ii ) to
maintain adequate freeway and arterial traffic operations by
distributing freeway access/egress traffic to more
interchanges in more manageable volumes .
13 . Intensive freeway traffic management programs would be
needed , including ramp metering throughout the system. The
potential of a ramp metering system to create serious queuing
problems on connecting arterials must be addressed .
14 . By 2010 , arterial system improvements combined with freeway
congestion will have helped to reduce-- in proportional
terms-- the use of the freeway system for short trips .
However , heavy demand will exist for two specific "short
hops" on the freeway : SR-516 to/from SR-509 on I-5 , and SR-
515 to/from SR-169 on I-405 . Both of these connections--
from the Green River Valley to SR-509 , and from west Soos
Creek Plateau to downtown Renton-- provide a good , direct
route for a significant travel flow. Due to the traffic
volumes involved and the weaving movements created , both
connections , especially the 516-509 connection , have the
potential to create significant operational problems on the
freeway .
FASSTRAK Conclusions
& Recommendations
Page 7
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations are intended to identify the
programs, actions , and improvements needed to serve forecasted
traffic on the freeway system in the study area. The
recommendations are made with explicit recognition that without
new sources of funding for freeway improvements , it is likely
that some of the recommended projects will not be built due to a
lack of funding . It is further recognized that further detailed
engineering studies may prove some project alternatives to be
infeasible . Adoption of these recommendations does not require
that anything be built; rather , adoption sets goals to be used
in the development of freeway improvement programs for the next
25 years .
1 . The King County Council , the City Councils of Kent, Renton ,
Auburn , and Tukwila, the Metro Council , and the King
Subregional Council should officially endorse the FASSTRAK
recommendations for implementation by the appropriate agencies
and for inclusion in the Regional Transportation Plan .
2 . Because the projects and actions recommended by FASSTRAK are
necessary components of the infrastructure that supports the
present and future development occurring under local land use
plans and policies , local jurisdictions should actively pursue
and support full implementation of these recommendations .
3 . Although TSM measures will not be able to eliminate
congestion , a high AVO would have a significant impact on
total traffic volumes . The high 1 . 50 AVO used in the FASSTRAY,
analyses assumes/requires the implementation of extensive TSM
measures , ranging from ridesharing programs to parking
controls and management , and should be pursued by the
appropriate agencies . For maximum effectiveness , these TSM
measures should be consistent across jurisdictional
boundaries .
4 . Metro should continue to give a high priority to its long-
range service planning efforts. In order to coordinate the
planning and design of freeway improvements and transit
facilities , the plan should identify the necessary separated
transitways , freeway bus stops , park-and-ride lots , and
exclusive bus ramps , etc .
5 . WSDOT should continue to give high priority to completing and
maintaining the operational integrity of the planned HOV lanes
on I-5 and I-405 . These projects , which are funded largely by
federal interstate completion funds that cannot be used for
any other purpose , provide critical links in the regional HOV
system.
FASSTRAK Conclusions
& Recommendations
Page 8
6 . WSDOT should undertake a research project that would analyze
and evaluate traffic operations in freeway HOV lanes and on
other HOV facilities. This project should develop
recommendations for ensuring continued free-flow operation of
the HOV system under future traffic conditions .
7 . Metro, WSDOT , PSCOG, and local agencies should develop a set
of criteria to guide the development and operation of freeway
and arterial transit and HOV facilities. These criteria
should be incorporated into regional transportation policy .
8. Metro, WSDOT , and PSCOG should undertake an SR-167 Corridor
HOV Study in order to analyze transit and HOV demand in the
corridor , to assess the need for SR- 167 HOV lanes and other
HOV facilities in the corridor , and to make recommendations .
9 . In order to coordinate the planning and design of freeway
improvements and HOV facilities , Metro, WSDOT , PSCOG , and
local agencies should develop a regional HOV System Plan
( including freeway and arterial elements) that is based on the
Metro Long-Range Service Plan and the Transit/HOV Facilities
Criteria . This plan , which would be incorporated into the
Regional Transportation Plan , should identify a comprehensive
set of HOV facilities , including transit facilities , freeway
and arterial HOV lanes , freeway ramp and arterial queue by-
pass lanes , etc . Freeway improvements recommended by FASSTRAK
should be coordinated with these improvements.
10 . The WSDOT should begin the planning and design of the ramp
metering system for south King County freeways immediately ,
since such systems are more effective and less politically
objectionable when they are installed before congestion
becomes severe . The ramp metering system should include HOV
bypass lanes at all ramps , and should explicitly address the
impacts of ramp queuing .
11 . Technical analysis has shown the need for freeway and
interchange improvements to accommodate forecasted traffic .
The improvements identified by FASSTRAK ( listed in the
" attached table ) should be endorsed by the affected
jurisdictions and amended into the State Transportation Plan ,
the Regional Transportation Plan , and all other appropriate
plans . To be included in these plans , the recommended
projects must be compatible with other plans , policies , and
projects . Cost estimates for all recommended projects should
be included in the Regional Transportation Plan .
FASSTRAK Conclusions
& Recommendations
Page 9
12 . A Feasibility Study should be undertaken ( by WSDOT and/or the
appropriate local agencies) for each of the recommended new
interchanges and for the recommended major improvements ,
either individually or in interdependent groups . The
recommended lane requirements are based on FASSTRAK
assumptions , and should be reviewed as part of the
feasibility studies.
a. The studies for the I-5/SR-516 , I-5/SR-509 , and I-5/S
178th interchanges should be combined , and should assess
the feasibility and make recommendations regarding i ) the
interchanges themselves , 2 ) the S 188th Connector and the
S 192-196 Connector, and 3 ) a connection between SR-516
to/from the east and SR-509 that is separated from I-5 .
b . The study for I-405/SR-515 should i ) assess the
feasibility of the interchange itself , and ii ) identify
and assess the feasibility of arterial improvements and/or
freeway modifications that would reduce the use of I-405
as a connection between SR-515 and SR-169 to/from downtown
Renton .

SUBJECT: FASSTRAK Study Conclusions and Recommendations
Dear Mr. Dindorf :
We have reviewed the final FASSTRAK Conclusions and Recommen-
dations drafted by Rob Bernstein . For the most part we
find that these reflect the collective will of the FASSTRAK
Study Team. With a couple of exceptions noted below, we
can support this document .
A sentence has been added to this version which has not
appeared before . It is on page 2 , bottom of page in #3 ,
and states , " . . . [tlhis scenario had therefore assumed that
the full traffic-reducing potential of the HOV lanes was
realized. " This statement is misleading because it implies
that the total capacity of the HOV lanes has been used . This
was not what Rob indicated in his earlier versions in which
he stated that there would, in fact, be excess capacity
in the HOV lanes . We request that this sentence be deleted.
We also do not concur with statement #5 on page 4 . Our under-
standing is that the reason there are no specific recommendations
for HOV lanes in the SR-167 corridor is simply because the study
did not look at this issue in a way that would allow such
a recommendation to be made . Therefore, the existence or lack
of criteria is irrelevant to this recommendation in this study.
There has been a great deal of valuable discussion generated
by this study. In our opinion, the Conclusions and Recommenda-
tions will be a valuable tool in accomplishing needed solutions
to the transportation problems facing the Green River Valley.
We are glad Metro was able to participate in this study.
Sinc�y,

Dear Mr. Walsh:
Thank you for your letter of October 4, 1988, commenting on
the FASSTRAK final conclusions and recommendations . The
sentence in the "Assumption" section that explains that the
analysis used in FASSTRAK had "assumed that the full
traffic-reducing potential of the HOV lanes was realized" was
ILA intended to imply that the HOV lanes would be at capacity
in 2010. Rather, the sentence was intended to point out that
the 2010 travel demand forecasts had assumed that the HOV
lanes were available and that the forecasts of general traffic
volumes did not include commuters attracted to carpooling or
transit by the travel benefits provided by the HOV lanes.
In the final report we will clarify this intent by deleting
the referenced sentence and replacing it as follows: " . . .The
forecasts of general traffic do not include commuters
attracted to carpooling or transit by the travel benefits
provided by HOV lanes" .
In reference to your comment on Statement #5, page 4 (i . e . ,
" . . .Therefore, the existence or lack of criteria is irrelevant
to this recommendation in this study" ) , we consider this to be
a relevant finding. It should be noted that at the outset of
the study there had been some expectation that SR-167 HOV lane
recommendations would be made as part of FASSTRAK. However,
it soon became apparent that without such criteria it would be
impossible to make HOV lane recommendations. Therefore, this
became a finding of the study.
This finding was discussed with Metro staff on several
occasions and at a meeting on September 15, 1988, general
wording was agreed to . At the meeting of the FOIST on
September 16, 1988, Metro staff requested and the Committee
agreed to further changes to the specific language. As a
result, we assumed that Metro concurred with the final
statement.

Dear Jerry,
I am writing to give my final comments on the FASSTRAK study
report. My comments are as follows:
It should be realized that the policies for the Regional
Transportation Plan Update have not yet been addressed.
Before the recommendations of FASSTRAK are adopted into
the RTP, the policies should be established and FASSTRAK
reviewed for consistency with those policies.
Because the region has chosen to rely heavily on a free-
way system that provides few alternatives within each
travel corridor, the arterial system must serve the role
of alternative routes. As the design for each arterial
proposed in the study is developed, this consideration
should be important in defining the operating character-
istics of the arterials. Especially important is access
control.
On page 2 assumption number 3 states that the study uses
the full potential of the HOV lanes. This statement is
incorrect and should not have been included.
Findings and conclusions number 12 discusses new inter-
changes. It should be noted that each of the proposed
new interchanges in the study was proposed based on local
considerations. A better approach would have been to
consider freeway standards, define an area where an
interchange was needed and would meet standards and then
determine specific location to get the local system
within those parameters. This could lead to changes in
the local system but would hopefully lead to a better
over all solution and an acceptable proposal.
The introductory paragraph to the recommendations dis-
cusses the possibility of individual elements of the
study not being built. It should be noted that individ-
ual elements of the study were looked at only on a
systems basis and that they may be interdependent. The
unacceptability of any proposed facility will result in
the need to re-evaluate the system.

Dear John:
Thank you for your letter of October 11, 1988, commenting on
the FASSTRAK final conclusions and recommendations. Your
comments are useful and well-taken and will serve to guide
follow-on work by the study participants.
With respect to your third comment, the sentence in the
"Assumptions" section that explains that the analysis used in
FASSTRAK had "assumed that the full traffic-reducing potential
of the HOV lanes was realized" was ngt intended to imply that
HOV lanes would be at capacity in 2010. Rather, the sentence

WSDOT will soon begin a Route Development Plan for SR
167 . The plan will address the subject of HOV lanes and
will be closely coordinated with affected agencies.
Recommendation 10 states that all ramps should have
metering and HOV by passes. It also states that ramp
queuing should be addressed. Ramp queuing problems may
prevent some ramps from being good candidates for
metering unless local jurisdictions are willing to commit
._ to changes in the local street system.
Recommendation 11 refers to the State Transportation
Plan. This document, as it is now being updated, will be
a policy document only.
An alternative to recommendation 12 a. is to conduct
-- separate feasibility studies but recognize the need to
analysis the implications of the other proposals within
the scope of the study. A systems only approach creates
an interdependency that may negatively affect individual
proposals.
Before undertaking a feasibility study, local jurisdic-
tions need to work closely with WSDOT to understand what
must be achieved.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment one more time. The
process has been a long and difficult one. I hope that we
have achieved a product that is to everyone's benefit. If you
have any questions about any of the above, please contact
myself or Jerry Schutz.

APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 26 , 1988
Commissioner Martinez MOVED that the minutes of the September 26,
1988 Planning Commission meeting be approved as presented.
Commissioner Stoner SECONDED the motion. Motion carried.
- Mr. Harris suggested that the November workshop be changed to a
continuation of Central Business District Plan Amendments (Downtown
Kent) .
AMENDMENT TO SUBDIVISION CODE
Carol Proud presented the proposed new section to the Subdivision
Code regarding lot line adjustments which are currently exempt from
the provisions of the Subdivision Code. The Planning Director
currently approves or denies lot line adjustments based on Planning
Department policy rather than specific code requirements. In order
to clarify lot line adjustments and to facilitate the review
process, the staff proposed the following amendments to the
_. Subdivision Code.
The words "providing for the modification of lot lines; " has been
added to the beginning paragraph.
A code of the City of Kent, Washington providing for the. . .
variation and exception thereto in hardship cases; providing
Kent Planninng Commission Minutes
October 24 , 1988
for the modification of lot lines; . . .
Under Section 1. 2 PURPOSE the words "or adjusting lot lines" has
been added. The section now reads:
The purpose of this code is to provide rules, regulations,
requirements, and standards for subdividing land or adjusting
lot lines in the City of Kent. . .
Under Section 1. 3 SCOPE "and to the modification of lot lines
between adjoining parcels" had been added. The paragraph would
read:
This code shall apply to the division of land for sale or
lease into two (2) or more parcels and to the modification of
lot lines between adjoining parcels.
Under SECTION 1.4 DEFINITIONS the following definition of lot line
adjustment has been added as Number 19 :
LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT: A lot line adjustment is the adjusting
of common property line(s) or boundaries between adjacent
lots, tracts, or parcels for the purpose of rectifying a
disputed property line location, freeing such a boundary from
any differences or discrepancies or accommodating a minor
transfer of land. The resulting adjustment shall not create
any additional lots, tracts or parcels and all reconfigured
lots, tracts or parcels shall contain sufficient area and
dimension to meet minimum requirements for zoning and building
purposes.
Under Number 27 Piggyback or Accumulative Short Subdivision the
words "application submittal" has been added. The last sentence
would read:
Ownership for purposes of this section shall mean ownership
as established at the application submittal date of the
initial short subdivision approval .
Under SECTION 1. 5 STATE ENABLING LEGISLATION AS IT APPLIES TO THIS
CODE add the words "adjusting lot lines. " The paragraph would
read:
This code is in conformance with Chapter 58. 17 of the Revised
Code of the State of Washington regulating platting,
subdivision, adjusting lot lines, and the dedication of land.
Under SECTION 1.8 EXCEPTIONS Number 3 has been removed because the
provisions of the Subdivision Code will apply if the changes are
2
Kent Planninng Commission Minutes
October 24 , 1988
accepted.
The following four-step procedure for processing a lot line
adjustment application has been added:
Section 2 1 2 Application for Subdivision - General Overview
of procedures
3) Lot Line Adiustment The general procedures for
processing applications for a lot line adjustment are as
follows:
a) The completed application is filed with the Planning
Department;
b) The application is reviewed by the Planning
Department staff;
c) The adjustment is either approved, modified, or
denied by the Director and/or designee;
d) The approved lot line adjustment is recorded by the
applicant at King County Department of Assessments.
The following major additions proposed by staff clarify existing
policy.
Section 2 . 4 DETAILED PROCEDURES FOR LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS
Section 2 . 4 . 1 Purpose
The purpose of a lot line adjustment is to accommodate
a minor transfer of land between adjacent legally created
lots, to rectify a disputed property line location or to
clarify exempt parcel status (per RCW 58 . 17 . 040 (6) ) .
Section 2 4 2 Principles of Acceptability
Lot line adjustments shall be consistent with the
following principles of acceptability:
1) Adjust lot lines including the elimination of a
common lot line in order to correct property line
or setback encroachments;
2) Create better lot design, or improve access;
3) Conform to applicable zoning, subdivision and other
code requirements pertaining to lot design, building

parcels;
e) A metes and bounds description of the proposed new
lots if other than a platted lot.
Section 2 . 4 .4 Administrative Review
-. 1) The Planning Department will review and approve this
proposed lot line adjustment within ten (10) working
days of receiving a completed application.
2) Action: The Planning Director may approve, approve
with modifications, or deny the application for a lot
line adjustment
a) Approval: If approved all four (4) lot line
adjustment maps shall be stamped "approved" and
signed and dated by the Planning Director. The
applicant shall be notified in writing of the
decision. Additional copies of the approval
notification and map shall be distributed to the
King County Assessor's Office and to the City of
Kent Property Management Department.
b) Approval with Modification(s) : If modification(s)

may be added to the original lot line adjustment map
or a revised map may be required. The applicant
will be notified of any such modification action.
If a modification of the original lot line
adjustment map, legal description or other
information is necessary, the projected approval
date may be extended.
" c) Denial : If denied, the lot line adjustment shall
be marked "Denied" and the applicant shall be
notified in writing of the decision, stating the
reasons therefore.
2 .4 . 5 Final Recording
A lot line adjustment does not become effective until
it is recorded with the King County Assessor's Office.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to record the
" approved map and new legal descriptions. A copy of the
5
Kent Planninng Commission Minutes
October 24 , '1988
recorded documents shall be submitted to the Planning
Department by the applicant.
The recording of a lot line adjustment does not
constitute a transfer of title. Separate deeds to this
effect must be recorded with the Assessor' s Office and
are not subject to these provisions.
Under SECTION 2 .2 DETAILED PROCEDURES FOR SHORT SUBDIVISIONS
Section 2 2 2 Principles of Acceptability staff suggests that the
words "which comply with all provisions of the City of Kent Zoning
Code" be added and "with respect to zoning and" be eliminated. The
paragraph would read:
1) Create legal building sites which comply with all
provisions of the City of Kent Zoning Code and health
regulations.
Section 2 2 4 Preliminary Map Review staff suggests "one (1) week"
be changed to "ten (10) days. " The sentence would read:
The staff shall review this map within ten (10) days and
inform applicant of any obvious concerns and recommendations
for revisions. . .
Discussion followed regarding the transfer of title for lot line
adjustments.
Commissioner Stoner MOVED that the Planning Commission recommend
for adoption the Lot Line Adjustment additions to the Subdivision
Code and the two measures for the short plat portion of the code
which has been recommended by the Planning staff. Commissioner
Martinez SECONDED the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
DOWNTOWN KENT PLAN (Central Business District Continued)
Mr. Satterstrom referred to the six goals which were approved at
the last public hearing and felt that two meetings in November
would be helpful toward completing the Central Business District
Plan Update.
Harold Vaughn, 203 Madison Avenue, has a licensed photography
business at this location but is not allowed adequate signage. He
urged the Commission to zone the area for commercial/office/multi-
use purposes rather than for multifamily dwellings.
Chairman Badger admitted his letter dated October 24 , 1988 to the
record.

Re : Contract for NEIGHBORHOOD PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS
South of Willis Street ( 1st Ave . S . - 5th Ave. S. )
Dear Ken:
We recently completed our corporation quarterly statements
and upon review of these statements have decided to complete
our jobs in progress and terminate the corporation.
We realize this contract was awarded to our company but we are
hoping that since the second place bidder was less than $100 . 00
from our bid that the contract can instead be awarded to him
without jeopardizing our bid bond . We don ' t feel that we should
take on another project at this time .
Any aosistance you may give us in this matter will be deeply
appreciated .
Thank you.
Very truly yours ,
SIGN ENTERPRISES , INC .

APPROVAL OF VOUCHERS
All claims for the period ending October 31 , 1988, in the amount of $1 ,676,729. 01
were approved for payment.
REVIEW OF LIBRARY SCHEMATICS
Assistant City Administrator Jim Hansen reviewed schematic drawings for the
library noting the following key features. The library building contained. 22,500
square feet compared to the existing facility with 15,000 square feet. The
facility provides for 128 parking spaces whereby the existing facility now has
direct access to only 18. The new facility will require the closure of 1st Ave.
with a turnabout on the Smith St. side. The plans will provide for a
continuation of the park and a trail system from the park bordering the library
on the Smith St. side. The plans provide for Meeker St. businesses bordering the
library property to continue to have delivery access to the rear of their
buildings. The facility also provided for natural lighting with a clear area
provided over the center of the building.
A question was raised related to the double brick wall construction and Jim noted
that he would get back to the Council on those requirements. Also discussed was
any building overhang and it was noted that there were covered walkways and
Operations Committee Minutes
November 1 , 1988

recessed windows in the scheme. Councilman Dowell noted that the building seemed
to lack warmth and the human scale and he was told that this information would be
relayed to the architects and hopefully they can insure that this is addressed in
the final building designs. Also a question was made about the possibility for
expansion of the library to an even larger size and it was noted that it is the
Library District's policy to have maximum size between 20,000 and 25,000 and if
additional space is needed to provide for additional libraries, which two are
planned for the East Hill of Kent with the recent passage of the library bond
issue. During this discussion it was noted that these drawings were only
schematic and that additional work would have to be done and the Committee
concerns would be addressed with additional follow up drawings. It was approved
that this item be included on the Consent Calendar for approval of schematic
drawings.
CUMMITTEE MEETING SCHEDULING DURING REMODEL `
Alana McIalwain passed out a schedule of Council meetings during the remodeling
process. The meetings called for most meeting,be ginning in December to be in the
Library Conference Room except for the January 10, for which that facility is
booked and so the workshop for that day, if needed, will be scheduled for the
Senior Center. The schedule calls for using the Library, as needed, through the
end of March. It was noted that the library has the capacity for 100 people and
that should meet most of the needs for the Council , both the Council workshop and
regular council meeting schedules.
SEPTEMBER SUMMARY FINANCIAL REPORT
Due to the shortness of time with the budget review of numerous departmental
budgets, the Finance Director summarized the financial report noting that the
revenues for the month of September are continuing to show growth With the
anticipation that the City should end the year with $1 ,275,000 more in revenue
than was budgeted, up 6.1 percent above the budget. This is compared to 5.8
percent or $1 ,216,000 as shown in the previous monthly financial report and as
included in preparation of the 1989 preliminary budget. On the expenditure side,
though expenditures are exceeding previous estimates primarily due to many
Operations Committee Minutes
November 1 , 1968
Page 3
unbudgeted items such as the remodeling projects at the Kent Commons and on the
second floor, and such things as the Civil Service hearings and the need for a
new chiller in City Hall . Expenditures though still remain substantially below
budget as the salary savings monies are used to pay for these unanticipated
expenditures. The net result of the increase in revenues and increase in
expenditures is an overall decrease from last month of approximately $70,000 in
funds available for the 1988 Budget. This reverses a $34,800 in unappropriated
beginning 1989 fund balance to a negative $38,000. An updated amount through
October should be available for the Council budget workshop of November 22, at
which time the final decisions for the 1989 Budget can be discussed.
OPERATIONS COMMITTEE BUDGET REVIEW
The Operations Committee reviewed the budget for the Mayor, Administration, Law,
Library and Information Services. Personnel and Finance Department along with
the miscellaneous other Operations Committee budget responsibilities will be
reviewed at the November 15 meeting which is again scheduled for 7:30 a.m.
The only significant discussion was the issue raised by the Council on possible
annexation to the library district reducing the annual payment to the district
for the City's share of library services. It was noted by the City Administrator
that the City has not studied this, as it has been more concerned at this point
about getting the new library off the ground and then, possibly looking at
annexation. Another question was related to the sale and ownership of the old
library and the ownership of the new library. It was noted that the City and the
Library District own the old library at bO percent partnership and would plan to
own the new library in the same manner. The funds associated with this trade are
included in the library project. The City will be paying the district 50 percent
of its appraised value of the old library as determined by an appraiser jointly
picked by the City and the library will likewise pay half the cost of the new
library property acquisition and construction.
Loralynn Young of the Kent Library noted that circulation in the library
increases about 7 percent per month and the Kent Library is 3rd or 4th in the
Operations Committee Minutes

district in circulation. She also noted that a new agreement had recently been
signed with the district and the City of Auburn and Enumclaw so that there can be
joint usage of these three libraries by all patrons.
TAPING OF OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Council member Dowell requested that the Operations Committee meetings be tape
recorded and that tapes of those meetings be kept for up to four years. He felt
that the information should be kept on tape for the public to hear and for
possible documentation for legal purposes. He noted that he was content with the
summary provided by the minutes of meeting but felt that the tapes should be
available for public review. There was a discussion held whether all Committee
meetings should be taped and what the practices were in the current committees.
It was noted that some of the committee meetings are now taped, others are not
but Mr. Dowell 's request at this time specifically related to the operations,
Committee. The Committee was willing to recommend the acceptance of Mr. Dowell 's
proposal for a one year trial period to note what interest there might be in
review of these tapes.

MOSS COMP PLAN AMENDMENT
Dan Stroh identified the Moss and Elkins properties and presented staff' s
proposal to expand the study area to include not only the Moss and Elkins
properties but also the area south of the Green River. There is before the
County Hearing Examiner at the present time a proposal to rezone the Bigford
property south of the river to light manufacturing. This area is part of the
City of Kent's 1982 Agricultural Lands study, the area was designated
Agricultural in our Comprehensive Plan, and the area is in our potential
annexation area. Staff is following closely the Bigford rezone and the City
has the option to appeal an unfavorable decision by the Hearing Examiner.
Also pending before the County Council is a proposal to zone the area as A-
10, a new class of agricultural production lands with 10-acre minimum lot
size. In other words, not only is the Bigford rezone request not consistent
with the City of Kent' s Comprehensive Plan land use designation, but there
is internally within the county differences in perception of land use in the
area in question. Discussion occurred on annexing the area and the effect
of annexation on the proposals presently before the county. Councilman
Dowell asked if there were ways the City could protect land within our
potential annexation area from improper zoning. Dan Stroh responded the City
has the option to appeal the Hearing Examiner' s decision to the County
Council.
-•. Lauri Anderson described the land uses in the area.
PUBLIC NOTICE BOARDS
In response to Councilman Johnson' s request at a previous meeting, Fred
Satterstrom distributed a comparison of Seattle ' s, Bellevue ' s and Redmond ' s
requirements for public notice boards, and the size of the board. The
requirements are similar with the essential difference that the City of
Seattle requires signs to be put on site for any action requiring SEPA
determination whereas the other two cities require signs for such things as
rezones, conditional use permits, plats, PUD' s, etc. In Kent, signs for all
SEPA actions would number in the hundreds whereas signs for other major
activities would number approximately 24 . Mr. Satterstrom mentioned that
Senior Planner Kathy McClung recently informed him the City of Lacey Planning

MINUTES OF MEETING OF NOVEMBER 1, 1988
Department constructs 3x5 signs in-house as a cost-cutting measure. He added
that the public notice boards seem to be effective in Seattle, Bellevue and
Redmond; no longer do citizens complain about not being notified of pending
actions. There were no opponents when Redmond recently adopted their
requirements for public notice boards .
Jim Hansen stated citizens would be interested in the cost factor of the
posting. Mr. Satterstrom estimated the cost to be $300, plus installation.
Jim Harris stated that at the November 15th Planning Committee meeting, staff
will bring forward a proposal on the types of project which would require a
public notice board, the cost, the size, and the method used by City of
Lacey.
ANNEXATIONS
This item was deferred to the meeting of November 15, 1988 .
ADDED ITEMS
A brief discussion occurred on the Mayor' s letter to Mr. Flick. For the
November 15th meeting, Chairwoman Woods suggested staff draft a response to
Mr. Flick outlining the process for rezones and inviting Mr. Flick to
participate in the housing study which is underway. In response to
Councilman Johnson, Jim Harris stated that the Planning Department' s staff
reports are based on review of the relevant comprehensive plan and staff
suggests review of the plan if it appears to be out of sync with land use.
Mr. Harris was of the impression that the applicant' s representative was
going to research the issue of the rezone and get back to Mr. Harris and City
Attorney Driscoll.
Chairwoman Woods asked how staff responds to the letters from the School
District on effects of proposed developments. She suggested the City meet
with the School District to let them know that if they can get a proposal
through the State Legislature to allow cities to collect money for schools
from developers, the City would be receptive to that idea.
Mr. Harris confirmed for Chairwoman Woods that the City of Kent does not have
adult mobile home parks in the City.
ADJOURNMENT -
The meeting adjourned at approximately 5: 10 PM. The next meeting will be
held November 15 , 1988 at 4 : 00 PM in the Second Floor Conference Room.
