MEMORANDUM
January 29 , 1991
MEMO TO: Mayor Dan Kelleher and City Council Members
FROM: James P: Harris, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Report and Recommendation on an application to
vacate a portion of S. 212th Street #STV-90-5
Recommendation: APPROVAL WITH
CONDITIONS
I. Name of Applicant
Pacific Ventures, Inc.
P. 0. Box 3407
Bellevue, WA. 98009
II. Reason for Requesting Vacation
The applicant states, "The portion of South 212th Street
described is not needed for the public roadway system.
Vacation would enhance .the ingress and egress of Pacific
Ventures, Inc. ' s adjacent property. "
III. History
An identical application to vacate the very same portion of
S. 212th Street was filed in 1987 (Resolution 1143) and was
denied by the City Council on October 6, 1987 . Prior to that
action, the Council had approved a vacation application for
the westerly one half of this area of S. 212th Street
(Ordinance 2694) This application was made by
LeRoy A. Bowen. Subsequent to that vacation the Bowen
Business Center placed required offstreet parking and
landscaping in the vacated area. Ingress and egress to both
the Bowen Center and the Pacific Ventures, Inc. property now
goes over the area Pacific Ventures, Inc. wants to vacate. In
order to prevent blockage of access to the Bowen Center at
this point an easement over the proposed vacation area would
be necessary.

MEMO TO: Mayor Dan Kelleher and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Report and Recommendation on an application to
Page 2 vacate a portion of S. 212th Street #STV-90-5

After reviewing comments from the following departments and
agencies:

. Police
• U S West Communications
and conducting our own review, the Planning Department

mation was presented to Public Works Director

pleasure with the excellent progress made toward

that Kent will continue to make substantial addi-
tional progress in the next year despite the
slowing economy. He noted that the No. 1 goal

SEWERS (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4C)
LID 337 - Westview Terrace/McCann's Westview San-
itary Sewers. Dwight Davis, 21417-96th Avenue
South, noted that the Council had held a public
hearing on this item on February_ 5, 1991, and that
many people who were in favor of the LID did not
attend the hearing because of the wording in the
notice they received. He noted that the motion to
prepare the ordinance creating the LID was conse-
quently defeated. He pointed out that 47.9% of
the citizens in the area support the LID. Upon
White' s question, City Attorney Lubovich noted
that in order to look at this situation again, the
process would have to be started over. Wickstrom
concurred and pointed out that if a new hearing
were held, people in favor and opposed would have
a chance to speak. Rolly Topping, 21416-96th Ave-
nue South, spoke in favor of the LID, but felt the
entire process should not have to be started over
simply because few people in favor were at the
hearing. Ed White, 21426-96th Avenue South, con-
curred with Topping, stating they should not be
required to gather signatures and submit paperwork
a second time.
Wickstrom noted for the Mayor that the wording in
the notices could be changed to say that anyone
for or against the project is invited to attend
the hearing. The Mayor directed that the wording
be so changed in the future.
DOWELL MOVED to reconsider this matter. Mann
seconded. Lubovich voiced concern regarding re-
opening the matter without appropriate notice.
The Mayor suggested that instead of calling for
reconsideration, that Dowell call for the matter
to be reopened, notice be given, and a resolution
of intent to create an LID and setting a new
hearing date be brought to the next Council
2
February 19, 1991
SEWERS meeting. Dowell and Mann agreed. Wickstrom
pointed out that the number of the LID will be
changed. Upon a question from Gladys Pfaff, 9634
S. 214th Street, Wickstrom clarified that no more
signatures are required. Johnson suggested that
even though State law requires only 40% approval,
citizens of the area try to get additional support
for the LID. He also suggested annexing to the
city as opposed to signing annexation covenants.
George Hoffman, 21415-98th Avenue South, noted
that he is in favor of the LID and thanked the
Council for their help. Dowell ' s motion then
carried.
STREETS (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3D)
LID 331 - 240th Street Improvements. ADOPTION of
Ordinance 2963 amending Ordinance 2952 which ap-
proved and confirmed the assessments and assess-
ment roll of LID 331. The initial ordinance er-
roneously listed the assessment roll as a total
project cost. The amended ordinance changes this
figure to the established assessment roll.
STREET (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2A)
VACATIONS Pacific Ventures Street Vacation STV-90-5. This
is a continuation of a public hearing held Feb-
ruary 5, 1991 on an application made by Pacific

property is located at the 8700 block of So. 212th
Street. A letter from John L. Hendrickson, attor-
ney for the applicant, has been received request-
ing that this hearing be continued to March 5,

February 19, 1991
PRELIMINARY (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3F)
SUBDIVISION Walnut Ridge Preliminary Subdivision SU-90-5.
AUTHORIZATION to set March 5, 1991 for a public
meeting to consider the Hearing Examiner's rec-
ommendation for conditional approval of an ap-
plication by Douglas W. Graef and William Curran,
Sr. for a 12-lot single family residential pre-
liminary subdivision. The property is located
south and west of 9631 So. 242nd Street.
LOT LINE (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4A)
ADJUSTMENT Lot Line Adjustment LL-88-27. This item is
to consider the Council Planning Committee' s rec-
ommendation to proceed with the Administrative
Procedure Option No. 3 to rescind lot line adjust-
ment LL-88-27 located in North Park. This item
was before the Planning Committee on November 6
and 20 and December 4, 1990.
Mayor Kelleher noted that Council President Woods
will preside over this issue, since he is dis-
tantly related to the applicant.
Planning Director Harris pointed out the area on
the map and noted that the lots were originally
40 ' x 1271 , but were combined into 80 ' x 127 ' lots
through a lot line adjustment. He noted that the
applicant's request is to rescind the lot line ad-
justment, returning the lots to 40 ' x 1271 .
The City Attorney noted that it is advisable,
given the number of people in attendance, to allow
a public hearing on this matter. Council Presi-
dent Woods declared the public hearing open. Tami
Grace. 754 North 2nd Avenue, voiced concern re-
garding street improvements, traffic safety, over-
crowding of schools, and emergency vehicle access,
and noted that the citizens of the area would like
to be notified of any plans in their area. Harris
noted that everyone within 200 ' of the perimeter
(approximately 50 people) had been notified, and
that notices were published in the newpaper and
posted in the area. The City Attorney pointed out
that since this is an administrative process, no-
tice was not legally required. Wickstrom noted
that this is a unique situation in that the lots
are already in existence, and therefore the City
4
February 19, 1991
LOT LINE does not have the authority of the Subdivision
ADJUSTMENT Code, and would be exempt from the SEPA require-
ments. He said the only authority the City has is
in regard to frontage improvements. He noted for
Grace that storm sewers had been put in through
the Community Development program, but that money
has not been allocated for sidewalk improvements.
Shaunlee Birge, 855-2nd Avenue North, stated that
the area has very limited access, and that it is
very difficult to get onto James during busy
hours. He suggested a park rather than further
development. Harris noted for White that Bowen is
not a through street, and Wickstrom added that the
State will not allow the opening of Bowen to
Fourth Avenue.
June McClure, 943-3rd Avenue North, noted that
there is a drainage problem in the area, and a-
greed that there should be sidewalks, lights and
another way out of the area. Wickstrom noted that
the City can require developers to do drainage im-
provements. John Hunt, 920-3rd Avenue; noted that
he had been told that the citizens of the area
would not be required to pay for improvements. He
also expressed concern regarding drainage. Daniel
Higgins , 713-1st Avenue North, noted that he had
gotten a map from King County which showed the
lots as 121 ' x 1271 . Harris explained that the
lots were legally 40 ' x 1271 , then combined into
80 ' x 1271 . Cheryle Noble, 316 W. Cloudy, stated
that street improvements are needed, and agreed
that residents should not have to pay for them.
Birge, Hunt, Noble, and Grace all felt that noti-
fication should go to all residents of the area
and Woods assured them that the 200 ' provision
will be expanded. Tami Grace provided a list of
people who would like notification.
Mel Kleweno, Attorney, noted that development of
single family housing is one of the City' s goals
and urged that it be affordable housing. Harris
clarified for Kleweno that he, as Planning Direc-
tor, made the recommendation to rescind the lot
line adjustment.
There were no further comments from the audience
and WHITE MOVED that the hearing be closed. Orr
seconded and the motion carried. JOHNSON MOVED to
5
February 19, 1991
LOT LINE accept the Planning Department's findings, to con-
ADJUSTMENT cur with Option No. 3 to administratively rescind
lot line adjustment LL-88-27, to refer questions
regarding road maintenance, drainage and sidewalks
to the Public Works Committee and to refer the
emergency vehicle access issue to the Public Safe-
ty Committee. Mann seconded. Upon White's ques-
tion, Harris noted that the State set the 200 ' no-
tification limit, but that the Council can set
other limits. Upon Dowell ' s question, Lubovich
clarified that this came to Council at the recom-
mendation of the Planning Committee because there
is no specific procedure. Johnson noted that the
Planning Committee recommends approval of the
rescission. The motion then carried.
PLANNING (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 31)
COMMISSION Planning Commission Appointment. CONFIRMATION of
the Mayor' s appointment of Al Haylor to the Kent
Planning Commission, replacing Elmira Forner whose
term has expired.
FIRE (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3C)
DEPARTMENT Transfer of Public Safety Bond Interest. APPROVAL
that $70, 000 of interest be allocated to the Bond
Radio/MDT bond project and bond interest in the
amount of $14, 000 be transferred to project man-
agement and $10, 000 of bond interest to East Hill
site work.
Economic climate, lengthy research and planning
resulted in higher bids than anticipated for the
tower, support building and method of transmis-
sion. Cost savings were implemented where prac-
tical. Ongoing project management particularly
installation and procedure development on audio-
visual necessitates funding for 1991. East Hill
undeveloped portion of site needs grading and
security fencing.
During the same period additional interest has
accrued. Staff has discussed implication with the
Finance Director. It is recommended by the Public
Safety and Operations Committees, Fire and Police
Departments that $70, 000 of the additional inter-
est be allocated to the Bond Radio/MDT bond pro-
ject to cover the additional cost of the backbone
of the system. Additional bond interest in the
6
February 19, 1991
FIRE amount of $14 , 000 to project management and
DEPARTMENT $10, 000 of bond interest to East Hill site work.
(BIDS - ITEM 5A)
High-Pressure Breathing Air Compressor. The Fire
Department went out- to bid for a high-pressure
breathing air compressor. One bid was received
from Ingersol-Rand/Eagle Compressor Company. The
bid price is within the 1990 CIP budgeted amount.
After review of the bid with Ingersol-Rand, a fur-
ther cost reduction of approximately $2 , 000 will
be realized by the deletion of a feature that was
not required in the bid specification. This com-
pressor will allow the Fire Department to supply
needed breathing air at the scene of emergencies
involving hazardous atmospheres. MANN MOVED that
the bid submitted by Ingersol-Rand/Eagle Compres-
sor Company for a high pressure breathing air
compressor be awarded in the amount of $33 , 163 . 00.
Woods seconded and the motion carried.
PARKS & (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4B)
RECREATION Golf Cart Lease. As recommended by the Internal
Budget Committee, the Parks Department seeks au-
thorization for Riverbend Golf Complex to lease an
additional twenty-one power golf carts from
Yamaha. The current fleet size, consisting of
twenty-nine, does not handle the demand for re-
gular and tournament play, and the complex is
losing potential revenue. Staff feels that the
revenues generated will cover the cost of expenses
and result in a profit. DOWELL MOVED that River-
bend Golf Complex be authorized to lease from
Yamaha an additional twenty-one golf carts for
rental . Woods seconded and the motion carried.
FINANCE (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3B)
Approval of Bills. APPROVAL of payment of the
bills received through February 15, 1991 after

bers White and Johnson will be working with her on
an informal Regional Services Committee which will
direct issues being heard by Suburban Cities to
the proper committee.
Public Works. White noted that bids will be open-
ed this spring for the widening of Canyon Drive
and installation of Jersey barriers. He confirmed
for Johnson that the project will be constructed
this summer. White also noted that the National
League of Cities has asked him to have the Mayor
and Councilmembers sign letters to our Congres-
sional delegation in regard to consumer complaints
on cable legislation.

ZRAV-=M MEMORANDUM
February 28, 1991
MEMO TO: JUDY WOODS, PRESIDENT, AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: LAURI ANDERSON, SENIOR PLANNER
RE: WETLANDS EDUCATION GRANT
Last spring the Planning Department completed Phase I of a wetlands
inventory with partial funding from the Washington State Department
of Ecology (Ecology) . Additional Ecology funding has been received
and approved by the City Council and Mayor to complete Phase II of
the inventory and develop a wetlands management plan by June 15 of
this year.
Last fall, the Planning Department applied for a supplemental
wetlands grant to conduct a public education campaign during the
development of the wetlands management plan. Unfortunately, we
were the first project below Ecology' s cutoff line for funding.
On January 28, Ecology notified us that they could, after all,
provide $8000 matching (to a City share of $1200) for the wetlands
education program (see attached memo) . The grant would allow for
development and compilation of wetlands education materials,
creation of a movable display board on Kent's wetlands (to be
rotated through public facilities and Kent schools) , and a minimum
of five public workshops to educate citizens and decisionmakers on
key wetlands issues.
As the Planning Department's matching funds would come from already
appropriated monies in the 1991 Planning Department budget, no
additional funds need be appropriated. A copy of the IBC Fiscal
Note is attached.
At their meeting on February 19, the Planning Committee recommended
acceptance of the $8000 public education grant from Ecology. Full
Council approval of the acceptance and authorization for the Mayor
to sign this grant is requested.

FISCAL ANALYSIS SHEET
Fund: General
Department: Planning
Cost: 1, 200
(Total project cost is $9, 200, less $8 , 000 grant available from State
Department of Ecology. )
Proposal Title:
Wetlands Education Program
Proposal Description:
In late 1990, the Planning Department applied for a $20, 000 Wetlands Grant
from the State Department of Ecology for a Wetlands Education Program. This
education program was to supplement an already approved grant to develop a
wetlands management strategy. The response from the State Department of
Ecology was that our grant application was the first one below their cutoff
mark for funding. On January 29, 1991, the Department of Ecology notified us
that they did, afterall, have $8000 in funds for the education project.
Consequently, the Planning Department is asking to spend a $1, 200 in-kind
match to be able to receive $8, 000 to educate the public by collecting and
developing wetlands educational materials, create a movable wetlands display
board, and hold public workshops.
No additional general fund money is requested. The in-kind match would come
from already appropriated City funds.
Relationship to Target Issues and Operational Priorities
The target issue the grant responds to is Top Priority 4 : Plan for Kent's
Future. This target issue includes development plans for unique and fragile
areas, and the Comprehensive Plan update. These council priorities are tied
to the requirements of the 1990 Growth Management Act, which mandates
development of regulations for "critical areas" (including wetlands) by
September 1, 1991. This Wetlands Education Grant will educate the public by
collecting and developing educational materials including a display board,
and holding public workshops. Educated public input is vital to development
of an acceptable wetlands management strategy for the community.
Fiscal Impact•
Wetlands Education Grant: $1, 200 from Kent (Local Match @ 15%)
$8, 000 from DOE (State Share @ 85%)
Options and Alternatives:
A) If $1,200 is not spent towards the Wetlands Education Grant, we would
not be eligible to receive the $8, 000 from the State Department of
Ecology.

WETLANDS EDUCATION GRANT (Lauri Anderson)
Senior Planner Lauri Anderson briefed the Committee on this item: Last
year the City Council approved money to do matching funds for a grant from
Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) to do a Wetlands Management
Plan, which is planned to be done this spring and will be completed by Julie
15th (the draft) , and then it would go into the Hearing process. Last
fall, the Planning Department asked the DOE for more money to do a
comprehensive public education campaign. The Planning Department wanted
help in developing materials specifically about Kent and holding workshops
for the public and others who are interested in the issue.
The DOE then called and stated the Planning Department did not get the
grant and we were number one below their cut-off line. At the end of
January, the DOE called the Planning Department back and said they liked
Kent, that we had a good proposal, and they couldn't fund us then but they
will fund the Planning Department now. The DOE could not give the Planning
Department as much money requested originally ($20, 000) but would give
$8, 000, which would mean a $1,200 match from the City of Kent. A number of
things would be done with this $8 , 000 such as a creation of a movable
display on Kent' s wetlands and holding 5-7 workshops to educate citizens
and the community on key wetlands issues.
This item has been to IBC. With no additional City funds required, the IBC
recommended acceptance of the $8, 000 grant with the $1, 200 as part of the
existing 1991 Planning Department budget used to match this new grant. Ms.
Anderson clarified this is money the Planning Department would have spent
anyway through her salary, printing, and materials to get the word out that
this management plan is happening. There is no additional money required
because it is an in-kind match.
1
Planning Department
City Council Planning Committee
February 19 , 1991
Ms. Anderson asked the Planning Committee to endorse the acceptance of the
grant with this to go to full Council on March 5, 1991. Councilmember
Leona Orr made the MOTION and Councilmember Christi Houser SECONDED it.
All were in favor.
RESOLUTION PROHIBITING OUTSIDE SEWER & WATER CONNECTIONS (J. Harris)
Councilmember Leona Orr first stated that the Resolution was presented at
the Public ,Works Committee the morning of February 19 and unanimously
approved it.
Planning Director James P. Harris explained that this item has gone back
and forth between the Public Works Committee and the Planning Committee as
explained in the February 12 memo in your agenda packet. Mr. Harris
commented that in the memo to the Committee he stated he supported this
proposed resolution, but stated to the Committee that he supports this
resolution with caution for the reason of bashing the County. Mr. Harris
remarked that perhaps the County should be contacted ahead of time of what
the City is planning to do. Mr. Harris still does not retract his approval
but wanted to point out some cautions.
Councilmember Leona Orr expressed that the Resolution would get to the
whole entire issue and not just related to the 277th corridor or the County
issuing too many permits. She said that it is not so much as we are
bashing the County, but bashing ourselves by allowing things to happen in
the County that couldn't happen without the City' s support and then
complaining about it when the City has facilitated them. This resolution
does not affect anything that is already in the works or anything that has
been promised. It relates to something that hasn't come through yet or
something that is brand new until those Growth Boundaries are identified.
Once these boundaries are identified, this can be lifted or altered.
Senior Planner Lauri Anderson commented on the Section 2 which as follows:
"The moratorium imposed on these services by this Resolution shall
continue until such time as the "urban growth areas" are designated by
the County, and any appeals of the City therefrom are resolved,
pursuant to RCW 36 .70A. 110. "
Ms. Anderson stated that this would remain in effect until such time the
County recommends the urban growth area. One of the proposals before the
County Council is the interim urban growth boundary. She was wondering
whether it should be clarified here because the interim urban growth
boundary may happen very soon and suggested the Resolution say, "not
including any interim boundaries" . Attorney Carol Morris states that the
language here that we would keep the moratorium in effect until any appeals
2
Planning Department
City Council Planning Committee
February 19, 1991
are resolved. She thought if there were any interim growth boundaries
designated that we would immediately appeal. Attorney Morris said this
could be changed.
It was also pointed out at the meeting that Page 2 was not the same Page 2
that was at the Public Works Committee on February 19 . Director Harris
complained about this for the' record. If the Planning Committee has
something officially before its Committee and the staff of another
Committee knows that, this Committee should have what the other Committee
has got.
The changed Page 2 was retrieved by from the Law Department and distributed
to all the Committee members. There was much discussion by the Committee
members about the change. The change occurred in Section 1 adding the
following words (highlighted and underlined) :
Section 1. Effective immediately , the City of Kent shall not accept
new applications from any property owner for the extensions of water
and/or sewer service to any property located outside of the City's
incorporated limits for the purpose of development platting short
platting and/or rezoning thereof.
Councilmember Christi Houser asked all who all was in favor say "I" of this
Resolution and for a letter be sent to the County and all said unanimously
"I" with no opposed.
ADDED ITEM - HUNGRY BEAR (Christi Houser)
Councilmember received a letter regarding the use of this business using
sandwich boards on the sidewalk which is not allowed.
ADDED ITEM - LEANING PUBLIC NOTICE BOARD (Leona Orr)
Councilmember Orr mentioned there ' is a public notice board that is leaning
towards the road on the west side of 116th, north of 240th Street. Fred
Satterstrom indicated that it was probably related to a proposed plat
recently approved by the City.

Scenic Hill Elementary Water Service
Wickstrom stated that Scenic Hill Elementary is adding another
building. The City' s ordinance requires a separate meter for each
building unless otherwise approved by City Council. Scenic Hill
Elementary has requested to service both their buildings from one
meter. Wickstrom stated the Public Works Department would support
that request. The Committee unanimously recommended approval of
the request.
Street Utility
Wickstrom stated he was requesting to hire an Engineer II, an
Engineering Technician III and a part time Office Tech in order to
begin the preliminary work for implementation of the street
utility. IPC and IBC have reviewed the request but have not as yet
made a determination. Dowell commented he was in favor of the
street utility when it looked like the County would support the
TBD. But without the TBD Dowell stated it looks as if the
possibility of the corridors is somewhat limited. Wickstrom
responded that the utility was proposed to complete the financing
for the grants we already have. If the utility is not formed we
can't put together the financing package and will lose the grants
which total about $14 million. And the two portions of the
192nd/196th corridor included in this proposal are very important
to Kent independent of the County. They relieve the .industrial
area, S. 212th, etc. The funding for these two portions is in
place with the formation of the street utility. Responding to
Orr' s questions, Wickstrom indicated the street utility will
provide about $4 million over a five year period. And with the
sewer and water utilities absorbing the utility tax, the general
fund will actually realize an increase in revenue due to the
utilities paying the utility tax on their entire revenue base and
not just their inside city customers. Currently the customers
outside the City do not pay the utility tax. The Committee
deferred any action until recommendations have been received from
IPC and IBC.
Van Doren' s Landing Phase I Request to Segregate LID Assessments
Wickstrom explained this was a request to segregate the LID
assessments associated with dedicated rights of way in the plat.
The Committee unanimously recommended approval of the segregation.

RE: Scenic Hill Elementary Water Service
The Kent School District has requested permission to use the
existing three inch water meter at Scenic Hill Elementary as a
master meter to in order to service a classroom addition. This
will allow them to serve both facilities on one meter and would
eliminate the need to provide an additional water meter.
Kent City Code requires that each separate building occupied as a
dwelling or place of business must have a separate water service
and water meter but gives Council authority to allow more than one
building to be served by a single meter for commercial and
industrial users.

WATER METERS
Dear Mr. Wickstrom:
This letter is a request to provide water service to a classroom addition (six
classrooms) from the existing 3-inch water service. The addition will be
constructed separate from the existing building. During review of the site
drawings, it was commented that the City policy does not allow multiple
buildings to be served from one meter.
We are requesting an exception to this policy in that the school site will
remain one service without any potential for separate water users. Also, the
north access road is very crowded with utilities and construction of an
additional water line will be difficult. The addition can be served off the
existing 3-inch water service near the new construction,.
Information that will be useful in considering the exception is:
• Existing flow: 150 gpm
• Additional flow for classroom addition: 81 gpm
• Meter capacity: 300 gpm
Your prompt consideration of this request will be appreciated.
Sincerely, 1

RE: LID 335 Drainage Ditch, Etc. Parcel No. 124123
Dear Mr. Moss:
I am an assistant City Attorney representing the City of Kent
("City") . Enclosed please find a copy of a draft ordinance that,
when passed, will authorize the City to commence condemnation
litigation in the King County Superior Court in order to obtain an
easement for street purposes over a portion of your property on
77th Avenue South.
My understanding is that Mr. Timothy J. LaPorte, a City engineering
supervisor, has explained the City' s reasons for requiring this
easement over your property. The City, just like anyone else, must
do its best to perform the difficult task of conforming to an ever-
changing regulatory framework. In your case, new regulations from
the Washington State Department of Fisheries now require that the
City maintain a drainage "swale" along 77th Avenue South. The
swale is intended to improve the control of pollutants caused by
the road and its traffic. Additionally, the City also requires the
construction of a "curb return" on a small portion of your property
at the intersection of 77th Avenue South and South 202nd Street in
order to increase the turning radius at that corner.
It has been, and continues to be, the City' s position that it
should do everything possible to accommodate your needs and
compensate you for this property loss. To that end, the City has
reduced the width of the original easement from 25 to 20 feet.
Additionally, the City has hired an independent appraiser to
ascertain the reasonable value of your property as encumbered by
this easement. We have offered to compensate you in accordance
with this independent appraisal, and our offer remains open for
your consideration.
If, however, we cannot agree on a reasonable value for the cost of
this easement, we shall commence a lawsuit to condemn your
property. The court, just like the City, will undertake to make a
reasonable valuation for your -property loss. In the event of a
lawsuit, you will have to defend your position on this condemnation
action and will very likely incur legal costs and attorney' s fees
that will only serve to reduce the final amount of your
compensation.
It is our sincere desire that you and the City can reach a
final resolution of this issue without having to spend the time and
bear the expense of a condemnation lawsuit. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me or Mr. LaPorte.
Yours very truly,
Thomas C. Brubaker
Assistant City Attorney

February 26, 1991
MEMO TO: MAYOR DAN KELLEHER AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: JAMES P. HARRIS, PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: WALNUT RIDGE #SU-90-5
On January 16, 1991 the Kent Hearing Examiner held a public hearing
to consider a request by Douglas W. Graef and William Curran Sr.
for a 12-lot single family residential preliminary subdivision.
The property is approximately 3 . 19 acres in size, and is located

property as common open space for the subdivision. The
open space shall consist of a space which is 3 percent of
the total size of the subdivision. The location should
be located on Lot #11 9 or 12 because of the significant
vegetation found on the lots. The exact boundary of the
dedication shall be determined by the Planning Director
upon submittal of an accurate tree plan for the site.
2 . The final plat mylar or linen shall bear a notation which
states that development on all lots shall comply with
City of Kent solar setback regulations.

and the- smallest lot size proposed is 7,200 square feet.
The City-wide and East Hill Comprehensive Plans designate the
site as. SF, Single Family. These plans also encourage the
preservation of open space in residential areas.
3 . Zoning and land use' surrounding the site is exclusively single-
family residential. The property to the west of the site is
currently being sub-divided into 22 residential lots. The lay
out of this subdivision, known as Walnut Grove, is expected to be
completed (according to the applicant) in 75 days.
4 . The site is covered with trees and vegetation including some
large deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs. These mature
trees and shrubs are most heavily concentrated on proposed lots
1, 81 9 and 12 .
5. The site has access to S. 242nd Street which is classified as a
local arterial. The street has a public right-of-way of 30 feet
with actual paving of 28 feet. The average daily traffic count
on the street is less than 1, 000 vehicles per day.
6. Development of the site would mean an additional 35 persons would
require City services. Water and sewer systems are available to
serve the site and the anticipated needs of the residents.
7. A mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance under SEPA was
issued for this proposal on October 12 , 1990. The DNS includes
conditions related to control of erosion, sedimentation and dust
during grading and construction; control of drainage from each
lot, as developed, to ensure no net runoff to adjacent
properties; preservation of trees and replacement of those trees
damaged during construction; implementation of storm water
drainage improvements to prevent flooding, sedimentation and
erosion; provision of on-site detention of storm water and
biofiltration prior to discharge into the City system; and road
improvements to mitigate traffic impacts caused by the proposed
development. The DNS was not appealed.
8 . The City Planning Department recommends approval of the
application with conditions specified in the written report to
the Examiner. Exhibit A. A representative of the applicant
testified at the hearing that all conditions recommended by the
City Planning Department will be complied with. Members of the
public presented concerns at the public hearing regarding tree
preservation, impacts of construction activity if Walnut Grove is
developed at the same time as Walnut Ridge, the need for a
2

barrier on the south side of the proposed development to shield
adjacent residential uses and the use of 243rd South which is a
private road. No one testified in opposition to the proposed
development.
Conclusions
1. The purpose of the subdivision regulations, which includes the
requirement for preliminary plat approval, is to:
provide rules, regulations, requirements, and
standards for subdividing land in the City of
Kent, insuring that the highest feasible quality
in subdivision will be attained; that the public
health, safety, general welfare, and aesthetics
of the City of Kent shall be promoted and
protected; that orderly growth, development, and
the conservation, protection and proper use of
land shall be insured; that proper provisions for
all public facilities . . . shall be made; that
maximum advantage of site characteristics shall
be taken into consideration; that conformance
with provisions set forth in the City of Kent
Zoning Code and Kent Comprehensive Plan shall be
insured.
Section 12 . 04 .262 of the Kent Subdivision Code sets forth the
particular requirements for an application for preliminary plat
approval. That section details nine specific requirements that
must be met before a preliminary plat can be recommended for
approval.
Based on the Findings detailed above, and with the conditions
recommended in the Decision below, the application will conform
to the standards set forth in City ordinances and should be
APPROVED.
2 . In addition to the conditions recommended by the City Planning
Department and agreed to by the applicant, conditions to protect
the surrounding neighborhood from some of the impacts of the
development are desirable. These conditions should include a
requirement to phase construction with the Walnut Grove
subdivision to lessen construction impacts and a requirement to
construct a fence along the south property line of the site to
mitigate impacts on the adjacent residences.

part of the Walnut Grove preliminary plat which is located adjacent to
this proposed plat. Mr. Gill commented the traffic mitigation
agreement mentioned as one of the SEPA conditions is basically a no-
protest LID agreement to participate in the future construction of the
S. 277th Street corridor. This agreement is used for all properties
located in the southern portion of the City' s transportation areas.
Mr. Hunter asked if the applicant would like to comment.
William Curran, applicant, commented they were in agreement with the
staff's recommendation of approval with conditions.
Mr. Hunter asked if anyone else would like to comment on this
application.
Gregg Ward, 9619 S. 243rd Street, Kent, WA 98031, asked when
construction of the project would start. He felt that there should
only be one project being constructed at a time. In addition, there
should not be access to the construction site from 243rd Street.
Mr. Ward asked if a fence would be placed between the proposed plat and
243rd Street. Mr. Ward expressed concern that the trees on the site
be preserved.
Mr. Hunter commented the City of Kent has a tree preservation
ordinance.
Mr. Curran commented the construction being done at the Walnut Grove
plat site is planned to be completed in about 60 to 75 days. The
proposed plat project start date is tentatively set for late summer.
Mr. Curran commented a fence is not planned for the southern portion of
the site. A tree survey was completed and there are approximately 21

The property is located on the north side of SE 248th Street between
112th Avenue SE and 116th Avenue SE. The property is zoned R1-12 ,
Single-Family Residential.
Alice Shobe, Kent Planning Department, presented the staff report.
Ms. Shobe presented some view foils depicting 1) the location of the
site, 2) the zoning of the site and surrounding area and 3) a site plan
showing the location of the school building, parking and play area.
Ms. Shobe commented currently there are three, apparently vacant,
houses on the site with barns. The School District stated one of the
homes might be relocated to the southwest corner of the site. A video
of the site was shown.
Ms. Shobe presented a brief history of the site. Ms. Shobe stated a
Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued on December 7, 1990
with conditions. A revised DNS was issued on December 28, 1990 with
the conditions as listed in the staff report. Ms. Shobe made
corrections to the staff report: 1) on Page 2 , #E, should say play
field instead of parking lot and 2) on page 11, should say "SEE
condition #14 of the DNS" instead of "SEE condition #4 of the DNS.
Ms. Shobe summarized the criteria that must be reviewed when
considering a conditional use application. The staff is recommending
approval. Ms. Shobe comment the applicant has received preliminary
approval from the Army Corps of Engineering for filling a portion of
the wetlands located on the site. #

Hearing Examiner Minutes
January 16, 1991
Mr. Hunter asked if the applicant or representative would like to
comment.
Pete Curran, 555 W. Smith Street, Kent, stated the applicant accepts
the SEPA conditions as stated on the DNS issued December 28, 1990.
Mr. Hunter asked if anyone else would like to comment.
C. B. Mills stated there is a lot of water on the site. He asked what
kind of drainage is planned for the property.
Bill Applegate commented about the increase in water runoff that would
be caused by the development of this site. He asked if there were
plans to keep the oils that would be deposited in the parking area from
entering the water system. Mr. Applegate asked about whether the
culvert located next to the property would be increased.
Gary Gill, Public Works Department, stated that the staff report listed
several conditions regarding the storm water drainage. Mr. Gill stated
the applicant as well as the City are aware of the water on the site
and the increase in impervious surface will create more runoff.
However, the applicant will be required to mitigate any increased water
runoff. Mr. Gill commented the City is conducting an analysis of storm
drainage facilities in the City. Mr. Gill stated the City is also
looking at upsizing the downstream system, providing other regional
facilities as well as the facilities being planned in the lower
Garrison Creek areas.
Mr. Hunter asked if there were any further comments.
Walt Seifried, Supervisor of Facilities and Construction, Kent School
District, commented the wetlands divide the site, so the school
building will be on the east side and the playground will be on the
west side; the filling of the wetlands area will only be for access
from the playground to the school building. Mr. Seifried stated the
School District is planning on using the wetlands site as an
educational tool and, therefore, with approval from the City, there may
be some access to the site in order for students to be taken to the
site.
John Gardner asked about location of the playground and the houses.
Mr. Gardner asked where the runoff water would be discharged.
Mr. Seifried commented the large white house will remain on the site
and will be sold by the School District to help mitigate the cost of
buying the site. The north side of the property will be retained as a
playground. The green house might be moved to the west, between the
4

white house and the church onto another residential lot. The small
white house will probably be demolished. The northwest side of the
property is where the playgrounds are planned to be located.
Mr. Seifried stated there will be storm drainage retention ponds with
biofiltration constructed on the south and north. Mr. Seifried stated
there will not be lighting on the playgrounds since the property will
not be used at night. Mr.' Seifried talked about the restrictions on
the property because of the size of the site.
Mr. Mills asked about what type of fencing would be used by the school.
Mr. Seifried stated the usual policy is a six-foot fence.
There was some discussion concerning the type of fence proposed.
Mr. Hunter stated the record would be held open until January 30 at
4 : 30 pm for further written comments to be received to the record
regarding the type of fencing proposed and for the revised DNS to be
placed in the record.

IV. PLANNING DEPARTMENT REVIEW
A. Comprehensive Plan
The City of Kent first adopted a City-wide
Comprehensive Land Use Plan in 1969 . The goals,
objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan
represent an expression of community intentions and
aspirations concerning the future of Kent and the
area within the Sphere of Interest. The
Comprehensive Plan is used by the Mayor, City
Council, City Administrator, Planning Commission,
Hearing Examiner and City departments to guide
growth, development, and spending decisions.
Residents , land developers , business
representatives and others may refer to the plan as
a statement of the City's intentions concerning
future development.
The City of Kent has also adopted a number of
subarea plans that address specific concerns of
certain areas of the City. Like the City-wide
Plan, the subarea plans serve as policy guides for
future land use in the City of Kent. The proposed
application is within the area covered by the East
Hill Plan. Adopted in 1982, the East Hill Plan
provides policy statements that relate to
development within the East Hill area.
The following is a review of these plans as they
relate to the subject property.
CITY-WIDE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates the subject
property as SF, Single Family. Elements of the
Comprehensive Plan are addressed below followed by
Planning Department comments.

Staff Report
Walnut Ridge -
#SU-90-5
HOUSING ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ASSURE A DECENT HOME AND SUITABLE
LIVING ENVIRONMENT FOR FAMILIES DESIRING TO LIVE IN
KENT
GOAL 2: Guide new residential development into
areas where the needed services and facilities are
available, and in a manner which is compatible with
existing residential neighborhoods.
Obiective 2: Permit new residential
development on , the East and
West Hills as the necessary
facilities and services are
available.
Objective 3 : Guide new residential growth so
that it occurs in a responsible
manner, consistent with
neighborhood objectives.
Policy. 3 : Encourage inf ill development of
areas already served by
utilities and transportation
systems, to achieve maximum
efficiency in the provision of
services and preservation of
natural features.
Planning Department Comment:
The subject property is surrounded on all sides by
platted property and existing or proposed single-
family residential development. The lots proposed
to be created by this application are similar in
size to the lots surrounding the site. Since the
subject property is surrounded on all sides by
developed or soon to be developed property, new
development on the site would be considered infill
development. Facilities exist to provide water and
sanitary sewer service to the subject property, and
conditions would be applied to the plat to assure
that the transportation system in the area is
sufficient to accommodate the development.

Therefore, the proposed plat is consistent with the
above mentioned goals, objectives and policies of
the Comprehensive Plan.
GOAL 4 : Assure environmental quality in
residential areas.
Objective 1: Preserve and maintain as much
of the natural environment as
possible.
Policy 2 : Require site design to conserve
natural features, such as
streams, steep slopes, trees,
and wetlands.
Objective 2 : Provide open green areas in the
City ' s residential
neighborhoods.
Policy 2 : Require contiguous open green
area in new single-family
subdivisions.
Planning Department Comment:
As a result of a SEPA condition and Zoning Code
requirements, the applicant must submit a tree plan
that shows the location of existing significant
trees (6-inch caliper or greater) on the site in
relation to the proposed lots. The trees located
in the proposed cul-de-sac will necessarily have to
be removed. The remaining trees will be retained
until development occurs on the individual lots, at
which time each lot will be reviewed for tree
preservation.
The subdivision code requires that a minimum of 3%
of the total subdivision be dedicated to open
space. The dedication can be developed as a park
or maintained in native vegetation to provide a
natural habitat.
The Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives, and
policies endorses the retention of open space in
residential areas. In order to conform with the
goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, the
9
Staff Report
Walnut Ridge
#SU-90-5
developer should provide common open space for a
small park and for tree preservation purposes.
EAST HILL PLAN
The East Hill Land Use Plan Map designates the
subject property as SF 6, Single Family Residential
with 4-6 dwelling units per acre. Elements of the
East Hill Plan which pertain to this application
are listed below, followed by Planning Department
comment.
HOUSING ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ASSURE PRESENT AND FUTURE EAST HILL
RESIDENTS HOUSING THAT IS SAFE, OFFERS A DESIRABLE
LIVING ENVIRONMENT, AND IS SUPPORTED BY ADEQUATE
COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES.
GOAL 1: Residential development that is related to
the availability of community facilities and
services.
Objective 1: When making decisions
concerning land use, consider
the adequacy of and impact upon
roads and other public
facilities and services
including utilities, police and
fire protection, public
transportation, schools and
parks.
Policy 1: Ensure that public facilities
and services are available or
will be available to support

utilities, public transit,
schools and other public
facilities and services to be
provided in an efficient and
10
Staff Report
Walnut Ridge
#SU-90-5
cost-effective manner.
Planning Department Comment
The proposed subdivision may eventually result in
the construction of 12 single-family dwellings.
Assuming 2.9 persons per household, an additional
35 persons would require City services as a result
of this plat.
As discussed above, adequate utilities exist to
serve the proposed plat. Conditions will be
applied to the plat to assure that impacts to the
transportation system are mitigated. To ensure
adequate fire protection to the development, water
pressures and fire hydrants in approved locations
must meet Fire Department standards.
As stated previously, the request for subdivision
was routed to the Police, Fire and Parks
Departments, as well as the Kent School District.
During the SEPA review for the project, METRO was
notified about the development. There was no
indication that the proposed project would have
undue impact on the provision of fire or police
protection, schools, or public transportation. The
Parks Department has recommended dedication of open
space for the proposed plat.
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: PROMOTE ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS
WHICH RECOGNIZE AND RESPOND TO THE NATURAL
ENVIRONMENT AND THE FUNCTIONING OF NATURAL SYSTEMS.
GOAL 1: Preservation and enhancement of the
natural qualities that make the East Hill area an
attractive place in which to live.
Objective 2 : Maintain and restore the
natural character of the East
Hill community through the
retention and introduction of
native and ornamental plants in
existing and planned
development.
11
Staff Report
Walnut Ridge
#SU-90-5
Policy 1: Encourage the retention and
reestablishment of vegetation
in the issuance of development
permits and in development
actions of the City.
Planning Department Comment:
The natural environment of the East Hill area is
highly valued by East Hill residents. These values
are reflected in the goals and policies in the East
Hill Plan relating to the natural environment. The
Plan states that emphasis should be placed upon the
retention of stands of trees and trees which form a
continuous or nearly continuous canopy, including
associated undergrowth, so that public benefits
relating to woodlands such as soil stability and
water quality can be maximized. The Plan states
that many woodlands benefits are lost if only
isolated, individual trees are retained.
There are stands of significant trees located on
the site in several areas. Lots # 1, 8, 9 and 12 all
have mature stands of trees and should be
considered for open space dedication. The preferred
alternative based on species and size of trees
would be lot # 9. A common open space area should
be dedicated on this portion of the property for a
community park and tree preserve. Such a
dedication would increase the attractiveness of the
site to potential home buyers, and would preserve
the most environmentally significant portion of the
property. The exact area to be dedicated would be
based on a detailed tree plan submitted by the
applicants.
B. STANDARDS FOR GRANTING A SUBDIVISION
The purpose of the City of Kent Subdivision Code is
to provide rules, regulations, requirements, and
standards for subdividing land in the City of Kent,
insuring that the highest feasible quality in
subdivision will be attained; that the public
health, safety, general welfare, and aesthetics of
the City of Kent shall be promoted and protected;
that orderly growth, development, and the
conservation, protection and proper use of land
12
Staff Report
Walnut Ridge
#SU-90-5
shall be insured; that proper provisions for all
public facilities (including circulation,
utilities, and services) shall be made; that
maximum advantage of site characteristics shall be
taken into consideration; that conformance with
provisions set forth in the City of Kent Zoning
Code and Kent Comprehensive Plan shall be insured.
Planning Department Comment:
The proposed plat is in general conformance with
the regulations of the Subdivision Code. The
Subdivision Code calls for right-of-way widths for
cul-de-sacs to be 50 feet and the proposal is in
compliance with this requirement. All proposed
sewers, water mains, and other utilities will
comply with applicable City requirements.
C. FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPMENT ON PROPOSED LOTS
Development on all lots in the proposed subdivision
will be subject to Zoning Code requirements for
development in the R1-7. 2 , Single-Family
Residential, Zoning District. All lots must also
comply with solar access setback regulations and
the tree preservation ordinance.
Planning Department Comment
All proposed lots meet minimum lot size and width
requirements. Development on the proposed lots
also will have to meet solar setback requirements.
The purpose of the solar access setback provisions
is to provide a reasonable amount of solar access
to lots in the City so that the economic value of
solar radiation falling on those properties will be
preserved and the option to use solar energy will
be encouraged. Any structures built on the lots in
a single-family residential zone must maintain
solar access to the adjacent lots to the north.
The proposed lots are oriented in a north-south
direction and Lot #2 and #12 have a minimum lot
width of 70 feet which will require special
consideration when the residence is sited to ensure
that the development complies with solar access
requirements.
13
Staff Report
Walnut Ridge
ISU-90-5
As mentioned previously, many significant trees
exist on the site, a tree plan identifying trees
with a caliper of six inches or greater will be
required for all lots and road improvements prior
to the issuance of development permits.

Re: CLID No. 331
Dear Tony:
Attached please find a draft Bond Purchase Contract for the upcoming sale of LID
Bonds. It resembles the version that we utilized for the sale of LID No. 330 Bonds
last Fall, but please call me with any comments or questions.
In addition, our preliminary thoughts for interest rates would yield a net interest
cost of approximately 6.80% for this issue. The municipal bond market clearly has
benefitted from the downturn in rates since the first of the year.
Please call me with any questions.
Very truly yours,

RE: City of Kent, Washington
CLID No. 331/335
Attached please find information regarding our proposal for the above—referenced
issue. Specifically, I have included a comparison of the proposed initial re—offering
yields with three other LID issues, as well as the components of our proposed
underwriting spread.
The average interest rate on this issue is 6.38%, which means that the property
owners' assessment rate is 6.88%. Operation Desert Storm has injected uncertainty
into the market, but investors' fear about declining rates have forced municipal
rates to their ten year lows, as illustrated in the attached charts.
Please call me at 344-5838 with any questions.

Approval of Vouchers
All claims for the period ending January 31, 1991 were approved for payment in the amount of
$1,751,682.98.
Additional Allocation of Fire Bond Interest
Finance Director McCarthy distributed a fiscal note with the recommendations of the Internal Budget
Committee to the Operations Committee Members.
Fire Chief Angelo reviewed with the Committee the progress to date on the Public Safety Bond Projects for
Radios/MDTs noting that every effort had been made to minimize costs including bidding the cost of the
radio tower twice because of dissatisfaction with the bids. An additional$70,000 is requested to complete
the backbone of the Radio and MDT system. If the additional funding is not approved, a cut in the amount
of radio and MDT equipment would have to be made. It was also requested that$14,000 be approved for
finalizing the construction projects in 1991. Of that amount$4,000 would be used for project management
and $10,000 to hire a temporary part-time person with the technical expertise to install audio visual
equipment and develop manuals and guidelines. A final request was made for $10,000 for facility
maintenance and expansion of the East Hill Station. There have been problems in the adjacent lot and the
funds would be used to secure the area.
All of the above requests would be covered by accrued interest from the Public Safety Bond Project. Fire
Chief Angelo requested that the interest be coordinated with Finance Director McCarthy and thanked the
IBC for their input. He also requested permission from Committeemember Mann to forward this issue to
the Consent Calendar instead of returning to the Public Safety Committee.
Committeemember Mann concurred and asked what priority was being given to the traffic lights at the
East/West Hill Stations. Fire Chief Angelo replied that their was an urgent need for an emergency
1
generator to power the door. Currently it is manually opened and the station is left unsecured. Additional
CIP Projects will look at signals in the industrial area, East Hill and West Hill.
Committeemember Johnson moved to approve the requested allocation of bond interest. Committeemember
Mann seconded the motion. The item was approved with a vote of 3-0 and moved to the Council Consent
Calendar.
Suburban Cities Association
Committeemember Johnson requested an added item for Suburban Cities Association Staffing for the
Summit. Chairperson Houser approved the added item. Committeemember Johnson requested the
Committee consider approval of funding for the Suburban cities Association. The assessment is based on
population with the total cost of the process being approximately$30,000 Kent's portion would be $2,400.
The Summit will look at governance process for the future, METRO and so forth.
Finance Director McCarthy stated that the request was not known at the time of the budget but their may
be some funds available from the Puget Sound Council of Governments line item because of our withdrawal
from PSCOG. City Attorney Lubovich noted that it was still not known if we would have to pay for the
full year pending what happens with PSCOG. Finance Director McCarthy informed the Committee that,
if approved,it could be charged to the PSCOG line item and adjusted at year end if the full PSCOG amount
is used.
Committeemember Mann moved to approve$2,400 for the cost of the Suburban Cities Association Summit.
Committeemember Johnson seconded and the motion was passed with a vote of 3-0.
The meeting was adjourned be Chairperson Houser at 5:00 p.m.

MCCARTHY,TONY / KENT70/FN - HPDesk print.
-----------------------------------------
c',zbject: ADD'L ALLOCATION OF PUBLIC SAFETY BOND ISSUE INTEREST
eator: Tony MCCARTHY / KENT70/FN Dated: 02/08/91 at 1750.
THE FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS ARE REQUESTING THE ALLOCATION OF $94, 000 IN
ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY BOND ISSUE INTEREST INCOME TO ORIGINAL PUBLIC SAFETY
BOND ISSUE PROJECTS. THE INTEREST INCOME HAS ACCRUED BECAUSE THE COMPLETION
OF THE PROJECTS IS COMING LATER THAN ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED. THE ADDITIONAL
INTEREST HAS BEEN COMPUTED CONSERVATIVELY WITH MORE TO BE EARNED IN 1991.
ALSO AN AMOUNT HAS BEEN SET ASIDE TO PAY FEDERAL ARBITRAGE THAT IS DUE IN
DECEMBER OF THIS YEAR FOR INTEREST EARNED ABOVE THE TAX EXEMPT BOND ISSUE
RATE.
IN DISCUSSING THIS AT THE IBC MEETING IT WAS NOTED THAT THE COUNCIL MAY WANT
TO CONSIDER USING THE EXCESS INTEREST TO PAY BACK THE CIP FUND FOR ITS
CONTRIBUTION 2 YEARS AGO FOR EXCESS COSTS ON THE WEST HILL PROJECT. IF THIS
IS DONE, THE CURRENT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING WILL HAVE TO BUMP OTHER
PUBLIC SAFETY OPERATING OR CAPITAL ACQUISITIONS. THE IBC ONLY MAKES THIS POINT
BECAUSE IF ADDITIONAL INTEREST HAD BEEN KNOWN ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO THAT WOULD
HAVE BEEN AN OPTION ON THE WEST HILL PROJECT.
WITH THIS POINT NOTED, THE IBC RECOMMENDS THE ALLOCATION OF INTEREST AS
REQUESTED BY THE FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS .

Re: Governance Summit Assessment
As you are aware, the 'Suburban. Cities Association .(SCA) is
currently involved in discussions of regional governance with
representatives of King County and The City of Seattle (the
Summit) . The discussions are far ranging and may result in
proposals for governance change in King County.
At the beginning of the the Summit process, it was agreed by all
parties that the costs of the process should be shared equally:
We have now been able to estimate that the SCA share of the costs
of the process will be between $25, 000 and $30, 000 . This
includes the costs of consultant services; various printing,
mailing, and support services for the SCA representatives to the
Summit; and Summit meetings which the SCA will host.
To fund the SCA portion of the costs and to establish an
equitable sharing of the of the costs among our member cities, we
have created a special assessment based upon population using
official 1990 state population figures as a basis. To assure
that we will have sufficient funds to cover the SCA proportion of
the costs, the per city assessment is based upon a total budget
of $30, 000 . At the end of the Summit, we will account for all
costs and either rebate excess funds or reallocate funds to other
SCA projects.
For your convenience, I have attached an assessment roll so that
you may check your population and assessment. You should send
you payment to Mayor Fritz Ribary of North Bend who is the SCA
Treasurer.
I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter. If you
should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me
at your convenience. I would also encourage you to actively
participate with your SCA colleagues in the Summit process.

Myrtle LaChance Claim .
Ms. LaChance submitted a written statement to the Committee (copy
attached) . Wickstrom explained that the sewer main was constructed
by Metro approximately 20 years ago. The City paid for the
equivalence of an 8-inch line along the entire frontage of the
properties and also paid for side sewer stubs for future
connections. By providing these stubs, we eliminated a major
expense for future connections. Wickstrom continued that the
Public Works Department will review Ms. LaChance' s claim but based
on the fact that we were not obligated to bring the stubs up and by
doing so saved the properties connecting to the main a very
significant expense, we will probably recommend denial of the
claim. The City's insurance adjustor will then take action on the
claim. White stated that the stub was actually almost in the
middle of the street and that the stubs for the other homes in the
area were at the proper depth. He questioned who was responsible
for the stub being put in in the wrong location. Tom Brubaker
suggested the claim be allowed to go through the normal process and
then Ms. LaChance can choose to pursue the decision through
Council. White explained to Ms. LaChance that her claim would be
sent to the City' s insurance adjustor who will review it and make
a determination and notify her of same. If she wants she can then
bring it back before the Committee.
Water Source Fencing
Wickstrom explained that the 1990-94 CIP reallocated funds from
the 1988 authorized Impoundment Reservoir fund for fencing of Kent
Springs, Clark Springs and Armstrong Springs and that the
Impoundment Reservoir improvements were then rebudgeted for 1992 .
The funds were inadvertently transferred in the water operating
fund. Wickstrom stated he is requested approval to transfer the
money from the Water operating Fund into the Fencing project. The
committee unanimously recommended approval.

Proposed Resolution Outside City Water and Sewer Extensions
Wickstrom stated he was suggesting a couple of modifications to the
Resolution to 1) be sure the Resolution only addressed new services
and would not affect our existing commitments and 2) address
existing developments that may want to connect to the city's
utilities. Wickstrom explained that by commitments he was
referring to water/sewer availabilities that have already been
granted. He added that existing developments don't generate any
new traffic impacts.
Addressing the issue of existing developments, Wickstrom stated
that the proponents of LID 337 will be bringing this before the
Council again. They were confused as to whether they should have
attended the public hearing as our notices indicate that only those
protesting the project should attend. Wickstrom pointed out there
was in reality only about 10% of the assessed value that protested
the project. There is 42% of the assessed value on record as being
in favor of the project. Additionally, those that don't protest
are counted as being in favor of the project.
White asked if this resolution were passed if the City would be
able to extend service outside the city to existing developments
via an LID. After discussion, Dowell commented that he felt there
should be something in the resolution that allows us to do that
especially if requested by an authority such as the Health
Department. White stated his intent with this resolution was to
address new construction that adds additional traffic. He was not
expressing concern about extending utilities to existing
developments that would not be adding additional traffic. Orr and
Dowell agreed with that. Morris stated that Wickstrom' s revisions
of the resolution made that clear. Dowell expressed concerns about
developments going in around the City with septic systems. Morris
pointed out that the resolution does not change the status quo.
Now the growth management act does not allow us to annex property
outside the urban designated growth areas. We don't know what the
urban designated growth areas are going to be as the County is
responsible for that designation. In order for developments to get
extension of utility services, petitions for annexation have to be
signed. If we don't know where the urban growth areas area, we
don't know where we can annex; thus, we can't extend utility
services. The Committee unanimously recommended approving the
amendments proposed by Wickstrom to the resolution and to take it
before the Council.

Scenic Hill Elementary Water Service
Wickstrom stated that Scenic Hill Elementary is adding another
building. The City's ordinance requires a separate meter for each
building unless otherwise approved by City Council. Scenic Hill
Elementary has requested to service both their buildings from one
meter. Wickstrom stated the Public Works Department would support
that request. The Committee unanimously recommended approval of
the request.
Street Utility
Wickstrom stated he was requesting to hire an Engineer II, an
Engineering Technician III and a part time Office Tech in order to
begin the preliminary work for implementation of the street
utility. IPC and IBC have reviewed the request but have not as yet
made a determination. Dowell commented he was in favor of the
street utility when it looked like the County would support the
TBD. But without the TBD Dowell stated it looks as if the
possibility of the corridors is somewhat limited. Wickstrom
responded that the utility was proposed to complete the financing
for the grants we already have. If the utility is not formed we
can't put together the financing package and will lose the grants
which total about $14 million. And the two portions of the
192nd/196th corridor included in this proposal are very important
to Kent independent of the County. They relieve the .industrial
area, S. 212th, etc. The funding for these two portions is in
place with the formation of the street utility. Responding to
Orr' s questions, Wickstrom indicated the street utility will
provide about $4 million over a five year period. And with the
sewer and water utilities absorbing the utility tax, the general
fund will actually realize an increase in revenue due to the
utilities paying the utility tax on their entire revenue base and
not just their inside city customers. Currently the customers
outside the City do not pay the utility tax. The Committee
deferred any action until recommendations have been received from
IPC and IBC.
Van Doren's Landing Phase I Request to Segregate LID Assessments
Wickstrom explained this was a request to segregate the LID
assessments associated with dedicated rights of way in the plat.
The Committee unanimously recommended approval of the segregation.

Other
White added that Councilmember Houser had requested a street light
at Military Road and 38th rather than a street signal as had been
previously discussed.
Mr. and Mrs. Rust stated the drainage ditch by their property was
overflowing onto their property. This has never occurred before
and Mr. Rust suggested perhaps this was because the Trammell Crow
development had plugged up the ditch. Wickstrom stated he would
have it checked out.
