DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
March 15, 1994
TO: Mayor White and City Council
FROM: Don Wickstrom, Director of Public Works
RE: LID 346 - South 212th Street Sidewalk, Street Lighting and Sanitary Sewer
(Green River to SR 167)
March 21, 1995 has been set for the confirmation hearing for the above referenced project.
BACKGROUND
Resolution No. 1402 adopted by City Council on August 16, 1994 established September 2, 1994
for the formation hearing on LID 346. No protests were received and City Council approved
Ordinance No. 3186 creating LID 346.
Plans are nearly complete for the sidewalk and street lighting project and will be bid in April or May.
The sanitary sewer installation is under construction and is nearly complete. Finalizing the
Assessment Roll at this time will allow bonds to be sold sooner, thereby reducing interim interest
costs and overall project costs.
The City has obtained a grant from_the Washin on State Transportation ov
sportation Imor� ement Board to
construct high-occupancy vehicle(HOV)lanes along S. 212th St_between West Valley Highway (SR
181) and SR 167. The S. 212th St. HOV lanes will connect with the new HOV lanes along SR 167
and future HOV lanes proposed by King County along S. 212th/208th St. up to Benson Road.
The HOV project consists of widening S. 212th St. from 5 lanes to 7 lanes, installation of curbs,
gutters, storm drainage and traffic signal improvements.
In addition, a new pedestrian signal will be installed where the Interurban Trail crosses S. 212th St.
An ISTEA grant was awarded to the City for construction of this signal.
Currently, no sidewalks or street lighting exist along most of S. 212th St. between the Green River
and SR 167. Two major north-south pedestrianibicycle routes exist along Frager Road and Russell
Road. S. 212th St. has been identified as an east-west pedestrian/bicycle route to connect the trails
I
along the Green River, the Interurban Trail and businesses along S. 212th St.
Several parcels along the north side of S. 212th St. between the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and
77th Ave. S. do not have sanitary sewer service. The remainder of the properties along S. 212th St.
are sewered.
As part of the road widening project it is advantageous to include all necessary improvements in the
road project. This eliminates the need to disturb the street and adjacent properties again. Substantial
cost savings also are gained by including the sidewalks, street lighting and sewer improvements in
a large road widening project.
An informal property owner meeting was held on May 2, 1994. Property owner response was
positive with only 3 of the 51 parcels objecting to the LID. The owners have signed covenants
representing 14% of the property for sidewalks and 38% for street lighting. A property owner
representing 50% of the sanitary sewer assessments has written a letter requesting to be included in
the LID. No protests were received at the formation hearing or within the protest period.
NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT
A. Sidewalks - Currently no sidewalks exist along most of S. 212th Street. Much of the area
where sidewalks should be are worn with pedestrian trails. Installation of sidewalks will
improve pedestrian safety to the adjacent businesses and physically connect them to existing
pedestrian and recreational facilities along the Green River and the Interurban Trail. It will
also make the adjacent businesses more accessible to each other along with making bus
service more viable to their employees.
B. Street Lighting- Currently street illumination exists only at intersections and along S. 212th
St. between 84th Ave. S. and SR 167. Installation of street lighting will provide for
pedestrian and vehicle safety to the adjacent businesses patrons and employees.
C. Utilities - Several properties on the north side of S. 212th St. between the UPRR and 77th
Ave. S. are not connected to sanitary sewer. Prior to widening the roadway, these utilities
must be extended outside the roadway section to avoid future excavation within the roadway.
Future excavation within the paved surface of S. 212th St. will be strongly discouraged if not
prohibited. Therefore, the construction must take place before the HOV lanes are
constructed.
Continental Hardwood, which was previously being assessed for a water stub in the
Preliminary Assessment Roll, is working out their connection problem with the adjacent
property owner. This water stub has been deleted from the project (and final roll).
f
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The project consists of the following features:
1. Installing sidewalks where there are none.
2. Install street lighting in areas where there currently is none.
3. Topsoil and hydroseeding.
4. Install sanitary sewer to lots currently not served by sewer.
To minimize costs, various typical improvement features were not included. Not included are
landscaping (street trees) and undergrounding of electrical facilities. Also, existing sidewalks shall
be utilized except at the corners where reconstruction is required.
PROJECT FUNDING
This project is proposed to be funded 100% by the Local Improvement District method except for
the sewer stubs east of 76th Ave. S. This sewer stub will be funded initially by the City. A charge
in lieu of assessment will then be established which the property owners will pay upon connection.
LID assessments: $674,120
Sewer fund: 50 000
Total Project Cost $724,120
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
The costs for this street improvement will be distributed to each benefitting property owner as
follows:
The total sidewalk_a_nd street lighting assessments are based upon frontage along S. 212th Street.
_l-._ - --
Properties with existing sidewalks or street lighting are not being assessed for these facilities.
The costs for sanitary sewer service stubouts will be charged totally against the benefitting property.
Final assessments are based upon estimated total project costs.
PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENT
j' Upon Council passing, the ordinance confirming the final assessment roll (after completion of the
l) construction), there is a 30-day period in which any portion or all of the assessment can be paid
without interest charges. After the 30-day period, the balance is paid over a ten year period wherein
each year's payment is 1/10th of the principal plus interest on the unpaid balance. The interest will
Lbe what the market dictates.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Attached is the Planning Commission's recommended zoning for the Jones-Hobbs annexation
area. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the initial zoning for the Jones-
Hobbs annexation area on February 27, 1995, and made their recommendation at the same
meeting (see attached minutes).
At the public hearing, the Planning Commission considered three alternative zoning designations
prepared by staff, which are outlined in the attached staff report. After considering the public
testimony and asking questions of staff, the Commission recommends a zoning configuration
which most closely resembled Alternative 1 as outlined in the staff report, although this
alternative was amended by designating the parcels at the north end of the annexation area Rl-
20, (see attached map labeled Exhibit "A". The zoning recommended by the Planning
Commission is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Map designation for this area, which is
SF, Single Family Residential.
By City ordinance, the City Council must hold two public hearings on the recommended zoning.
The first hearing is scheduled for March 21, 1995, and the second hearing is scheduled for May
2, 1995. By State law, the hearings are required to be at least 30 days apart.
Planning Department staff will be available at the March 21 hearing to further explain the
recommended zoning for the Jones-Hobbs annexation area.

MEMORANDUM
February 27, 1995
TO: KENT MORRILL, CHAIR, AND MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION
FROM: KEVIN O'NEILL, SENIOR PLANNER
SUBJECT: PROPOSED JONES-HOBBS ANNEXATION AREA INITIAL ZONING #AZ-
95-1
Introduction
In October of 1994, the City Council approved the annexation of the area known as the Jones-
Hobbs Annexation Area into the City of Kent. This area, which is approximately 23 acres, is
generally bounded by South 218th Street to the north, South 222nd Street to the south, 92nd
Avenue South to the west, and 100th Avenue South to the east (see attached Vicinity Map). The
subject area is directly adjacent to the Everson Annexation Area, which was annexed to the City
in January of 1994. Zoning for the Everson Annexation Area was approved by the City Council
in September, 1994.
Subsequent to the annexation of the Jones-Hobbs Annexation Area by the City, the entire area
was zoned R1-20 (Single-Family Residential), pursuant to Section 15.03.020(E)(2) of the Kent
Zoning Code. The purpose of this process is to establish initial zoning for the annexation area,
as outlined in Section 15.09.055 of the Zoning Code.
This report will outline background information on the area, including the previous zoning of
the area while it was still located in unincorporated King County. The report will then outline
three alternatives for zoning of the area for the Planning Commission's consideration at the
February 27 hearing.
Existing Land Uses
The entire annexation area, and the area surrounding it, is characterized by low density single-
family residential development. The majority of parcels both within and adjacent to the
annexation area are larger than one acre, and several of the parcels are larger than four acres.
There are some platted lots located to the north and west of the annexation area, and a
subdivision is now being constructed to the south of the annexation area on the south side of S.
222nd Street. Garrison Creek Park is located adjacent to the northwest section of the subject
area The attached vicinity map shows parcel lines in the annexation area and in the surrounding
vicinity.
MEMO TO: Kent Morrill, Chair, and Planning Commission Members
SUBJECT: Jones-Hobbs Annexation Area Initial Zoning #AZ-95-1
PAGE 2
Environmental Constraints
The entire annexation area is distinguished by west-facing slopes. For the most part, slopes in
the annexation area range from 10 to 15 percent. However, the northwest portion of the
annexation area is intersected by Garrison Creek, which is surrounded on both sides by slopes
exceeding 75 percent. Garrison Creek is designated as a major creek on the Kent Hazard Area
Development Limitations map, and is designated as a Class II salmonid creek in the Soos Creek
Community Plan. The steep slopes adjacent to the creek are designated as ravines on the Hazard
Area Limitation map, and as Seismic Hazard and Erosion Hazard areas in the Soos Creek
Community Plan. Under the City of Kent zoning code, no impervious surfaces are allowed
within 75 feet from the top of a ravine. This requirement will limit development opportunities
on some of the parcels located within the annexation area.
The parcels within and surrounding the annexation area are heavily vegetated with ground shrubs
and trees, many of which are significant trees, meaning that they have a caliper of 6 inches or
greater. There do. not appear to be any wetlands in the vicinity; however, surface water
management will likely be a significant issue for any new development in the area, due to the
slopes and proximity to Garrison Creek.
Previous King Countv Zoning
Prior to being annexed to the City of Kent, and subject area was located within the Soos Creek
Community Planning area in King County. The Soos Creek Community Plan, and
accompanying area zoning, were adopted by the King County Council in 1991.
The previous King County zoning for the subject area was GR-S-P, Growth Reserve, with an
underlying zoning of RS-7200-P. The GR-5 zoning district was an interim zoning district
permitted one unit per five acres until December 31, 1994, at which time the underlying zoning
went into effect. In this case, the underlying zoning is RS-7200 zoning. GR-5 zoning was
applied in the Soos Creek Community Plan to all undeveloped and underdeveloped land located
adjacent to an incorporated city. The RS-7200 zoning district allowed one unit per 7,200 square
feet of land, and is comparable to the R1-7.2 zoning district within the City of Kent. The P-
suffix in the previous King County zoning refers to specific requirements regarding
environmental protection and development standards.
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Analysis
The subject area is designated as Single Family 1-8 units per acre in the Soos Creek Community
Plan. The Kent Comprehensive Plan designates the subject area as Single Family. The Draft
Comprehensive Plan which is being considered by the City Council designates the area as Single
/Family 1-8 units per acre, which is consistent with the Soos Creek Community Plan
MEMO TO: Kent Morrill, Chair, and Planning Commission Members
SUBJECT: Jones-Hobbs Annexation Area Initial Zoning #AZ-95-1
PAGE 3
designation. The Kent East Hill Subarea Plan designates the area as SF 6, which allows single-
family residential development at densities of four-to-six units per acre. The East Hill Plan also
designates the area along Garrison Creek as Constrained Areas, which are defined as areas
classified as environmentally sensitive due to natural hazards (landslide, seismic, erosion, and
flooding potential) and areas which support unique, fragile or valuable resources.
The property to the west of the subject area, which is located in the City of Kent, is zoned R1-
20 and R1-12. Sites to the west are intersected by Garrison Creek and steep slopes, which is
the reason behind the low density zoning in this area.
Properties to the north, south, and east of the annexation area are located in King County. In
December, 1994, King County adopted a new zoning code to implement the County's
Comprehensive Plan which was prepared to implement the Growth Management Act. The areas
which were previously zoned GR-5 with underlying RS-7200 were changed to R-6. The new
R-6 zoning district allows a base density of six units per acre, and a maximum of nine units per
acre. Therefore, the properties adjacent to the subject area to the north, east, and west are now
zoned R-6.
Zonintz Alternatives
Three zoning alternatives are presented below for the subject area. All alternatives show the
area being zoned as single-family residential, which is consistent with both the City of Kent
Comprehensive Plan and the Soos Creek Community Plan. The difference between the
alternatives relates to the density of single-family development which would be permitted in the
area. The zoning alternatives are shown on the attached maps.
Alternative 1
This alternative would zone the majority of the subject area as R1-7.2, which is consistent with
the zoning of surrounding properties to the south, east, and north in King County. The three
parcels on the north end of the subject area would be zoned R1-12 since Garrison Creek, and
the associated ravine, intersect all three of these parcels, and minimizes the development
potential of these lots.
Alternative 2 -
The second alternative is similar to the first in that all of the parcels located on South 222nd
Street would be zoned R1-7.2. However, this alternative would designate the northern parcels
as R1-20, since these parcels are constrained, and to be consistent with the City's zoning
designation to the west. The two parcels located south of Garrison Creek Park would be
designated as R1-12, since the northern portions of these parcels are intersected by the ravine,
MEMO TO: Kent Morrill, Chair, and Planning Commission Members
SUBJECT: Jones-Hobbs Annexation Area Initial Zoning #AZ-95-1
PAGE 4
which would limit development potential on these lots. This zoning designation would also be
consistent with the zoning to the west of these parcels.
Alternative 3
The third alternative would result in the least density of the three alternatives. The three parcels
east of Garrison Creek Park would be zoned R1-20, which is similar to Alternative 2. The
parcels on the southern portion of the annexation area would be zoned R1-12. The zoning
proposed under this alternative would be the most consistent with the zoning designations to the
west in the city limits, in that both the R1-20 and R1-12 areas which are located to the west
would be extended into the annexation area.
In summary, Alternative 1 would be the most consistent with the surrounding zoning in King
County, while Alternative 3 would be most consistent with the City of Kent's existing zoning
to the west. Alternative 2 would generally allow higher densities on the parcels with the fewest
environmental constraints, and would to varying degrees restrict development on the parcels
which are affected by the Garrison Creek ravine.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council the zoning
designation outlined in Alternative 2 for the Jones-Hobbs Annexation Area.

Planning Commission Minutes
February 27, 1995
Discussions followed concerning a possible compromise to the specified number of adult use
sites, and if staff could continue to work on the zoning to lower the number of sites, to perhaps
20.
Commissioner Heineman asked Mr. Lubovich if it would be feasible for the City to put a cap
on the number of adult establishments. Mr. Lubovich responded he didn't think it would work,
as there are no caps on any other types of businesses in the City. Mr. Lubovich said he thought
that area would fall under zoning, but he would research the possibility. He also stated he
wished to go on record as being opposed to leaving the ordinance as it is, and it will lead to
future problems.
Commissioner Stringham said he would agree to changing the ordinance, if he could be assured
that only one or two adult use establishments would be located in Kent. He said the City of
Portland allowed similar zoning to what is proposed for Kent, and there are approximately 150
"nudie" bars for a population of 500,000. He said he did not want to see that happen to Kent.
Discussions followed regarding the Commission's request to review the number of sites, with
the intent to revise the number of sites closer to the allowable minimum, of around twenty sites.
It was reiterated that adult uses could potentially be located anywhere in the City, should the
ordinance remain as written. Another concern that was discussed was that businesses located
near adult use establishments could be devalued.
Commissioner Stringham withdrew his previous motion.
Commissioner Stringham MOVED that adult use zoning #ZCA-95-1 be sent back to staff and
ask that they establish an absolute minimum number of sites that the legal department feels
would stand a court challenge. Commissioner Dozier SECONDED to motion.
Mr. Harris said the motion was too wide open for the staff and a specific number should be
stated in the motion.
Commissioner Maclsaac amended the motion stating a request staff to identify twenty or fewer
adult use sites.
The motion CARRIED. Vote: Yea - Commissioners Dozier, Dahle, Epperly, Pattison,
Stringham, Heineman, Maclsaac. Nay - Chair Morrill, Commissioner Nuss.
JONES/HOBBS ANNEXATION ZONING - #AZ-95-1
Kevin O'Neill, Senior Planner gave a brief history of the Jones/Hobbs annexation area. He said
this area was annexed into the City of Kent in October, 1994, and is currently zoned R1-20, an
interim zoning. The area is generally located at the northwest corner of 222nd and 100 Avenue
SE, with the Everson annexation area adjacent to the west. The critical areas, including a ravine
and Garrison Creek were indicated on the map. Mr. O'Neill said the interim zoning by the
#ZCA-95-1 Adult Use Zoning
#AZ-95-1 Jones/Hobbs Annexation Zoning 5
Planning Commission Minutes
February 27, 1995
County was GR 5, the Cities equivalent of R1-7.2, before annexation. He said the purpose of
tonight's deliberation is to recommend initial zoning for this area to the City Council.
Mr. O'Neill introduced three maps, each depicting slightly different single family zoning
alternatives. Alternative 1 map proposes the northern parcels as R1-12, the southern parcels as
R1-7.2. He said this is roughly compatible to previous and surrounding King County Zoning.
Alternative 2 map shows the northern two parcels as R1-20. He said these lots are subject to
a 7500 set back from the ravine, therefore development of this property would be difficult, if
not, impossible. The southwest parcels are recommended R1-12 and the southeast as R1-7.2.
Alternative 3 presents the lowest density, with the northerly parcels R1-20 and the southerly as
R1-12. He said alternative 3 is most compatible to the most recent City of Kent zoning, in
effect, extending the existing zoning boundaries to the east.
Mr. O'Neill said staff recommends alternative 2, which is a mix the surrounding existing
zoning, and allows development of the parcels without environmental constraints.
Commissioner Stringham asked if it would be possible to zone the northern portion of the area
R1-20, and the southern area R1-12, allowing for more development for singlefamily housing
and still protect the environment. Mr. O'Neill said any combination would be feasible.
Chair Morrill opened the public hearing.
Testimony
Wayne Jones, Lakeridge Development, PO Box 146, Renton asked the Planning Commission
to consider a designation of R1-7.2 for parcels Lakeridge purchased for development. He said
he felt the R1-12 and R1-20 designations doesn't protect the environment, and recommended an
R1-7.2 with maintained setbacks for the entire area.
Rick Koopmans, 9708 S 222 St, Kent, WA said he owns 1.3 acres and the zoning alternatives
affect his property dramatically. He said option 2, which zones his land R1-12, would restrict
his development to only two lots. He agreed with Mr. Jones that an R1-7.2 zoning would allow
more versatility to the development of his property. He also explained that the runoff of the
property flows to the west, away from the creek.
Summarizing the testimony, Mr.O'Neill said alternative 1 would accommodate the second
speaker, and the first speaker wanted the entire area zoned R1-7.2, which is not reflected in any
of the alternatives. He repeated the zoning of the Everson annexation as R1-12.
Suneil Williams, 21819 100 Avenue SE, Kent, WA said he owns the northernmost parcel and
favors alternative 2, and agreed the area should be zoned rl-20. He said he has no objection
to the lower lots having an R1-7.2 zoning designation.

Council Agenda
Item No. 3 A-B
Kent, Washington
March 7 , 1995
Regular meeting of the Kent City Council was called to order at
7 : 00 p.m. by Mayor White. Present: Councilmembers Bennett,
Clark, Houser, Johnson, Mann, Orr and Woods, Operations Director/
Chief of Staff McFall, City Attorney Lubovich, Planning Director
Harris, Public Works Director Wickstrom, Fire Chief Angelo,
Police Chief Crawford, Parks Director Hodgson, Finance Division
Director Miller and Human Resources Director Viseth. Approxi-
mately 40 people were at the meeting.
PUBLIC Introduction of visiting Dignitarv. Mayor
COMMUNICATIONS White explained that last year the City of
Kent entered into a Sister City agreement with
Yangzhou, China and that a number of exchanges
have taken place out of that agreement. He
noted that last fall people from Yangzhou
visited in our community and did some business
here as well. He further noted that there is
an exchange between Green River College and
Yangzhou College of Professorships, and that the
City of Kent is privileged to have an employee
from the City of Yangzhou working in our city.
The Mayor introduced and welcomed Mr. Tong,
noting that he has been here for about a month.
Blue Ribbon Committee Update on Performing Arts
Center. Mayor White explained that the com-
mittee was formed late last year to look at the
feasibility of establishing a performing arts
center. He introduced Vice-Chairs Pat Curran &
Don Campbell.
Pat Curran introduced other members of the
committee and explained that the committee had
met in October with Baumgartner Architects and
The Collins Group who had been hired to do a
conceptual architectural plan and a business
plan for this particular project with monies
that were appropriated by the Council. She
noted that the performing arts center will have
a 500-600 seat theatre, a 125 seat black box
theatre, a lobby, and all the supporting facili-
ties that go along with that theatre. She
explained that the committee feels very strongly
that the community needs a large meeting space
and they decided to incorporate it into the pro-
ject. She noted that other components include
parking and possible retail and restaurant
space. Don Campbell explained that the com-
mittee began to see that the facility could be
1
March 7 , 1995
PUBLIC more complex and expensive than what was ori-
COMMUNICATIONS ginally examined. He noted that the committee
is doing more research on how to pull all the
pieces together and explained that the research
falls into two areas: (1) inherent maintenance
and operation costs and (2) cost and finance of
such a structure. He explained that the com-
mittee has been looking at public/private
partnerships and is looking at finding ways for
all areas of the community to participate in the
project. He noted that the committee will
report back to Council in about eight weeks
with additional information from the architect
and consultants.
Employee of the Month. Mayor White announced
that Nick Kurka has been selected Employee of
the Month for March. He noted that Kurka works
for the Public Works/Operations Division and has
been with the City since June, 1987 . Mayor
White also noted that Nick goes out of his way
to share his knowledge and skills with others,
and that he has a good rapport with fellow
employees and citizens. The Mayor explained
that Nick has recently been instrumental in the
installation of a storm system on Kensington
Avenue and also on East Russell Street, and that
the job was completed in-house with a minimal
amount of time and quite a savings to the City.
Nelden Hewitt, Utility Maintenance Supervisor,
noted that Nick has done an exceptional job in
working for the City and that his main concern
has always been to provide better service for
the citizens. He thanked Nick for the fine job
and encouraged him to keep up the good work.
Dina Paganucci Day. Mayor White read a pro-
clamation declaring Tuesday, March 14 , 1995 as
Dina Paganucci Day in the City of Kent and
encouraged all citizens to join in this tribute
to an outstanding employee. He noted that Dina
has spent 5 years demonstrating great skill and
commitment as the Crime Prevention Officer in
Kent, and that she is respected for her leader-
ship skills, innovative ideas, dedication and
genuine care and concern for the public and
colleagues. Chief Crawford noted that Dina is
also the Public Information Person within the
Police Department and that her work in the
community has been much appreciated.

March 7, 1995
PUBLIC Regional Justice Center Update. Wendy Keller,
COMMUNICATIONS Project Manager, updated the Council on the pre-
load project, noting that they are about to move
into the third phase. She also noted that bids
are due on March 14 and that she will give an
update on those next time.
Keller explained that there are two entrances
into the building which have been deliberately
designed to direct public entrance into a single
spot in the building, to a security screen which
goes across the lobby. She mentioned that the
security screen has been set up to handle 800
people an hour on one side alone and that there
is also a package screener and a magnatrometer.
She explained that the most volatile part of any
court building is the family court and that they
are located on the first floor closest to
security. Keller further explained that each of
the court rooms and all public desks or public
gathering areas have duress alarms and cameras
watching the areas. She noted that the general
public is located in the front, inmates are
brought up between the pairs of courtrooms in
secure elevators so they never meet the public,
and the staff circulates behind the courts in a
separate staff corridor. She noted that much
time and attention has been given to ensuring
the building will be secure. Orr thanked Keller
for making security the focus of her update
tonight.
Cath Bruner, the 1% for Art Manager for the
RJC Project, noted that the art work has
been separated into two phases as follows:
(1) Phase I is the integrated artwork which are
site-specific works designed for the facility
and which in many cases become part of the
architecture itself; and (2) Phase II which is a
collection of individual artwork such as paint-
ings, drawings, prints, and photographs which
will be mounted in the most public corridor
spaces throughout the facilities. She explained
that the artists were asked to create artwork
that would address the function of the Justice
Center, provide a hospitable and dignified
atmosphere, and also reflect the rich, cultural
heritage that the community enjoys in Kent. She
noted that as one enters the building from the
3
March 7 , 1995
PUBLIC rear driveway from either 4th Avenue or James
COMMUNICATIONS Street, they will encounter light standards
designed by Sheila Cline which will serve as
signage as well as street lighting. She noted
that the light will emanate from the Scales of
Justice with a shield and emblems that reflect
the City of Kent.
Ms. Bruner noted that the artists were charged
with designing something in the front of the
Justice Center to create an artwork that would
serve as a bridge to the community and would
physically link the Justice Center with the
downtown business community. She noted that
Lorna Jordan uses gardens as artwork, and Paul
Sorry will help develop a garden as front entry
artwork.
Bruner explained that the last project is the
security screen and that artist Mark Gulsrud
from Tacoma specializes in doing very large
scale architectural artwork using glass blocks.
Upon Clark's question, Keller explained that
because of the color of glass chosen for the
security screen, the architect assured them that
it will mostly cast shadows or different lights
within the rotunda and that there will not be a
great deal of glare from it.
CONSENT WOODS MOVED that Consent Calendar Items A
CALENDAR through H, with the exception of Item E, be
approved. Houser seconded and the motion
carried.
MINUTES (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3A)
Approval of Minutes. APPROVAL of the minutes of
the regular Council meeting of February 21,
1995 .
WATER (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3D)
Renton Intertie Water Agreement. AUTHORIZATION
for the Mayor to execute an agreement with
Renton for the emergency sale of water, upon
concurrence of the Public Works Director and the
City Attorney, as recommended by the Public
Works Committee.
The City has had an agreement with Renton since
the early '80s for the use of emergency water
4
March 7, 1995
WATER which has now expired. It is therefore neces-
sary at this time for both cities to sign a new
agreement.
SEWER (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4B)
SeaTac Sewer Extension Request. The City of
SeaTac has requested a Land Use Certification
for a proposed sanitary sewer connection to
METRO's ULID 250 trunk sewer. This sewer line is
located on S. 212th Street and currently ends at
the Green River.
In the past the Mayor, City Council and staff
have consistently opposed this sewer extension.
Accordingly, the proposed resolution opposes and
does not certify SeaTac's proposed sewer exten-
sion.
Planning Director Harris showed the location on
a map and noted that SeaTac's intent is to serve
an area on the hillside in their city. He noted
that Kent's zoning in the area is agriculture on
both sides of S. 212th. He pointed out that
METRO requires notification of Kent's intentions
by March 14th. ORR MOVED to adopt Resolution
No. 1423 which states that the proposed exten-
sion to METRO's ULID 250 trunk sewer is not
consistent with the City's land use policies and
zoning. Houser seconded and the motion carried.
PUBLIC WORKS (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4D)
(ADDED ITEM)
Pass Through Funding for Recycling Events -
Interlocal Agreement. The City Attorney ex-
plained that King County and the City of Kent
have adopted a Comprehensive Solid Waste
Management Plan which includes a 50% waste
stream reduction goal by the year 1995. He
noted that in order to help meet this goal, the
King County Solid Waste Division has established
the City Optional Program which funds projects
that enable citizens to recycle materials not
included in curbside collection programs, and
that cities applying for City Optional funds
must agree to organize a minimum of one special
recycling event. He noted that Kent has sched-
uled two events for this year, one of which is
scheduled for March 18th. He explained that
this has not gone to committee due to the lack
5
March 7, 1995
PUBLIC WORKS of time and recommended authorization for
Administration to enter into the interlocal
agreement.
MANN MOVED that the Mayor be authorized to sign
the interlocal agreement with King County that
will provide $11, 080 in grant funds to the City
for special recycling events. Houser seconded
and the motion carried.
STREET (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2A)
VACATION West Titus Street Vacation STV-95-2 . This date
has been set for a public hearing to consider an
application by the Webster Court Apartments
Limited Partnership and Titus Court Apartments
Limited Partnership to vacate a portion of West
Titus Street located just west of 5th Avenue
South.
Planning Director Harris pointed out the loca-
tion on a map and noted that the proponents have
built a senior housing project on the south side
and have one under construction on the north
side of the proposed vacation.
The Mayor declared the public hearing open.
Allen Scates, 29102 52nd Place South, Auburn,
owner of the property at 621 West Titus,
questioned the cost to property owners and said
the joint agreement is unclear. Public Works
Director Wickstrom explained that either the
property owner or the applicant who is building
the senior housing must pay the City one-half of
the appraised value. He explained that the
parties involved determine how this will be
paid. McFall noted that once payment is re-
ceived by the City, an ordinance is presented to
the City Council for the vacation. David Shira,
615 West Titus, voiced concern about a proposed
gate across Titus Street which would create an
access problem for visitors. He also asked
about parking and maintenance. Wickstrom
noted that one of the conditions is to provide
assurance that all properties are provided with
an access easement. He said another condition
is to provide a 26 ' wide paved driveway which is
not encroached on by parking. Wickstrom said
that maintenance would be the responsibility of
the property owner, unless other arrangements
6
r
March 7 , 1995
STREET are worked out between them. Dan Price, re-
VACATION presenting Titus Court Limited Partnerships and
Webster Court Limited Partnerships, stated that
they will pay all costs incurred on the ap-
praised value of the property, that property
owners will retain ownership in front of their
property up to the center of Titus Street, and
that they will maintain the street.
There were no further comments and WOODS MOVED
to close the public hearing. Orr seconded and
the motion carried. ORR THEN MOVED to approve
the Planning Department's recommendation of
approval with conditions of an application to
vacate a portion of West Titus Street located
just west of 5th Avenue South (STV-95-2) as
referenced in Resolution 1421, and to direct the
City Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance
upon receipt of compensation and retainment of
the utility easement. Woods seconded and the
motion carried.
TRAFFIC (CONSENT CALENDAR - ITEM 3E)
CONTROL (REMOVED BY MAYOR WHITE)
Speed Humps on SE 236th Place. The Public
Works Committee has recommended that staff be
authorized to install speed humps on S.E. 236th
Place between 104th Avenue S.E. and 108th Avenue
S.E. to alleviate the speeding problem.
After an extensive study by Public Works staff
and the posting of speed signs, a speeding
problem still exists along S.E. 236th Place.
Tom Miller, 10604 SE 236th Place, noted that the
members of the neighborhood have been trying to
work out the speed problem on 236th Place since
1988, and that because it has been a continuous
problem, the neighbors have borrowed the City's
radar equipment to clock vehicles on at least
four separate occasions dating back to 1989 . He
noted that cars have been clocked at 53 mph in a
25 mph residential zone that's only four blocks
long. He further noted that it was already a
problem of unacceptable magnitude when the light
at 108th & James Street was installed, which
doubled their problems. He thanked the Council
for their support. WOODS MOVED that speed humps
be installed along SE 236th Place between 104th
7
March 7, 1995
TRAFFIC Avenue SE and 108th Avenue SE. Orr seconded.
CONTROL Woods noted that she walks in this area and has
noticed the increase in traffic since the light
has been installed and agreed that it is dan-
gerous. Bennett requested a time frame and
Wickstrom stated that this can be completed
within a month. Jim Leonard thanked the Council
for their handling of this situation. The
motion then carried.
BUSINESS (PUBLIC HEARINGS - ITEM 2B)
LICENSE Adult Entertainment Business Licenses. The
Operations Committee has recommended adoption of
an ordinance adding a new chapter, Chapter 5. 10,
to the Kent City Code establishing new adult
entertainment business license regulations. The
ordinance would repeal current licensing regula-
tions for adult entertainment as codified in
Chapter 5 . 11 of the Kent City Code.
The City Attorney noted that current licensing
regulations deal only with exotic dance studios,
and that the proposed ordinance expands licens-
ing regulations to include adult arcades, adult
book stores, novelty stores, video stores, and
adult motion picture theaters in addition to
exotic dance studios. He pointed out that the
current Zoning Code zones adult book stores and
theaters in addition to the dance studios, and
it is therefore appropriate to extend licensing
regulations to other adult business enterprises.
Lubovich noted that under the proposed ordinance
for exotic dance studios, adult entertainment
and dancing is to be performed on a performance
stage intended specifically for that purpose,
and no adult entertainment shall occur closer
than 10' to a patron. He noted that the
proposed ordinance also provides that no
entertainer employed at an exotic dance studio
shall solicit any gratuity or payment from a
patron and that no patron shall directly pay or
give a gratuity to a dancer or entertainer. He
explained that there would be two types of
licenses: 1) an owners or operators business
license and 2) a managers or entertainers/
dancers license. He said the proposed ordinance
also establishes standards of conduct which are
specifically applicable to exotic dance studios.
He noted that the processing fee for an adult
8
e
March 7, 1995
BUSINESS entertainment business license is $150 and the
LICENSE processing fee for managers or entertainers is
$100. In addition to the processing fee, there
would be an annual license fee of $500 for
exotic dance studios, $150 for all other enter-
tainment businesses, and $150 for a managers or
entertainers license. He said all licensing
decisions can be appealed to the Hearing
Examiner, and from there they would be appealed
to Superior Court.
Lubovich distributed copies of proposed changes
to the ordinance contained in the agenda packet.
He noted that the changes are to Sections
5. 10. 110 and 5. 10 . 120, the purpose of which is
to clarify that dancing is to be done on the
stage and any appearances in a state of nudity
must also be on that platform, and to Section
5. 10 . 140, which clarifies that those businesses
whose trade is less than 20% adult entertainment
materials are not necessarily considered an
adult entertainment business. MANN MOVED to
amend the proposed ordinance to include these
modifications. Orr seconded and the motion
carried.
The Mayor opened the public hearing. Gilbert
Levy, 2001 Western Avenue, Seattle, represent-
ing DDF&S Investments which is attempting to
develop a parcel in the City of Kent as an
adult nightclub, said portions of the ordinance
are unconstitutional and violate his client's
First Amendment rights . He said that Section
5. 10. 060A requires disclosure of substantial
amounts of information which are unrelated to
the qualifications to obtain a license. He said
Section 5 . 10 . 060B appears to require that a
business license be issued within 30 days, but
in fact it is only issued within 30 days of the
time that the clerk deems the license applica-
tion to be complete, which is potentially an
indefinite delay in the issuance of the license.
He said that the 14-day delay in issuance of the
manager's license in Section 5 . 10. 060D is exces-
sive.
Levy said that this industry exists on the basis
of table dancing, and that to take away table
dancing, which the proposed ordinance does,
9
March 7 , 1995
BUSINESS would kill the business. He said that some of
LICENSE the citizens of Kent might enjoy this type of
entertainment, and this legislation would pre-
vent that from happening. He objected to the
10, setback requirement and to the requirement
that entertainers not accept gratuities. He
noted that those gratuities are how the enter-
tainers make a living, and that many of the
entertainers are young women supporting
families. He urged the Council to reconsider.
Levy thanked the City Attorney and Council-
members for the opportunity to speak, and for
their hospitality.
Police Chief Crawford offered his support to the
Mayor and Council and thanked them for ensuring
that there is a very strict ordinance in place.
There were no further comments from the audience
and WOODS MOVED to close the public hearing.
Houser seconded and the motion carried.
The City Attorney recommended the issuance of a
temporary license to managers as well as to
entertainers, and noted that this could be
accomplished by adding the necessary wording to
the last paragraph of Section 5. 10. 060. There
was no objection to adding entertainment
manager's or" to the sentence regarding issuance
of a temporary license, and it was so ordered.
JOHNSON MOVED to adopt Ordinance No. 3214, as
amended at this meeting, which adds a new
chapter to the Kent City Code, declares specific
findings of fact related to adult entertainment
businesses, states the intended purpose of the
ordinance, establishes new adult entertainment
business license regulations, and repeals cur-
rent licensing regulations codified in Chapter
5. 11 of the Kent City Code. Woods seconded and
the motion carried.

statements on the initiative for the pamphlet.
Council President Woods noted that the members
of the committees have information regarding
time lines and directions and pointed out that
advisors may be selected in addition to the
committee members. SHE THEN MOVED for the
appointments of Russ Stringham, Connie Epperly
and Dennis Hedman to the Voter Pamphlet "For"

or, to the Voter Pamphlet "Against" Committee.

Parks Director Hodgson noted that $225, 000 was
set aside in the budget for this renovation. He
said the contract should be finalized in ap-

should be complete by June 1st.
HOUSER MOVED to authorize Administration to
negotiate and enter into a contract with Harris
Golf for the design and renovation of the
miniature golf course at Riverbend Golf Complex

(� Surplus Equipment
.Wickstrom referenced a list of heavy equipment items we are requesting to declare as
surplus and auction at the State Auction. In response to Bennett, Jack Spencer stated
that there isn't any way in determining how much money we will get for these mowers. He
stated however that the larger equipment will go for about $1500. Spencer stated that
money received from auction sales will go into the Equipment Rental pool.
Committee unanimously recommended that this equipment be declared as surplus and
authorize the sale thereof at the State Auction on April 29th.
26th Place Street Vacation
Wickstrom said that we have received a petition for vacation of a portion of unopened right
of way on the West Hill, west of Pacific Highway on 26th Place. He noted that we have the
petition and it meets the requirements and therefore we need to act on it.
Committee unanimously recommended adoption of resolution to set the hearing date for
the 26th Place South Street Vacation.
Traffic Concerns in the Lakes Development
Wickstrom stated that at the last meeting, the Committee had introduced a problem at the
Lakes Development with regard to speeding. The Traffic staff is looking into this and we
will report back to Committee on our findings, at a later date.
Drainage Utility Rate Increases
Wickstrom said that we haven't put all the numbers together yet -we are still reconciling
some accounts which may mean we can start off with a bigger cash flow into the program,
therefore cutting the rates more. He said we should have this back for the March 27th
meeting. Wickstrom stated that when we met with the financial consultant today, the

Dear Mayene :
It was certainly a pleasure to meet with both you and Susan
regarding our banking relationship.
As I mentioned, on behalf of U. S . Bank, I would be very happy to
offer to extend our Banking Services Contract for another year at
our current prices, terms and conditions . I 'realize the our current
contract period doesn' t expire until June of this year, but I
wanted to be sure that you were aware of our willingness to provide
for the extension well in advance of the expiration date .
U.S . Bank of Washington is very proud to service the City of Kent' s
account relationship, and we are anxious to show our determination
to continue to do so in the future .
If this is acceptable to you, then may this letter serve as an
Addendum to the Banking Services Contract between the City of Kent
and U. S . Bank of Washington. This Addendum will extend the term of
the contract for another year commencing July 1 , 1995 and ending
June 30 , 1996 . All other terms and conditions shall remain the
same .
Thank you for your business and complimentary comments on our
quality of service . Please don' t hesitate to contact either Chris
King at our Kent Branch or myself should you have any questions
about the above extension.

Adult Entertainment Business Licensing Ordinance
City Attorney Roger Lubovich explained that the Planning Commission is in the process of
reviewing the zoning for adult entertainment as a follow up to the lawsuit. Roger explained that
he has been reviewing the business licensing for these adult entertainment businesses. The
current ordinance does not address all forms of adult entertainment so the proposed ordinance
includes bookstores, adult theaters, etc.
In reviewing the adult entertainment ordinance, Lubovich noted that the key change to the
ordinance is requiring'on stage' performances only. The stage is required to be two feet above
ground and ten feet from any patrons. Additionally, the exchange of any money will not be
allowed directly between patrons and entertainers. To obtain a license, a photo and fingerprints
will be required and a processing fee will be charged in addition to the business license fee.
Managers will also be required to be licensed. The City is not allowed to delay issuing an
entertainment license so a temporary license will be issued with the permanent license issued
following a background check.
Roger suggested that a hearing before the City Council so an opportunity is available for public
testimony. Councilmember Houser asked if the proposed licensing for adult entertainment
would impact existing businesses such as Lover's Package. Lubovich replied that it would not
as long as over 20%of the stock was not adult films, etc. as outlined in the ordinance. He noted
that the proposed ordinance is a combination of King County's, Kelso's and Kitsap County's
existing ordinances and an effort has been made not to impact current business.
After further discussion, Roger introduced Detective Kelley from the Police Department sand
asked if the Committee had any questions for him. Detective Kelley stated that he works vice
and this ordinance will go a long way in helping deal with problems. Lubovich stated that he
would still like to clean up some definitions as well as noting penalties for violations by both
operators as well as patrons. Councilmember Orr noted some typographical changes that need
to be made before adoption.
Lubovich suggested that a public hearing be held at the next Council meeting. Johnson asked
if the ordinance could be adopted at the same meeting. Roger stated it could depending on the
comfort level of the Council after the hearing. Houser complimented Lubovich on his hard
work putting together this ordinance. After further discussion, Councilmember Orr moved to
have a public hearing at the next Council meeting and place the Adult Entertainment Business
Licensing Ordinance on the agenda for Council action. Councilmember Houser seconded the
motion which passed 3-0.

all of the offices at City Hall. Charlie Lindsey informed the Committee that the problems with
the Chambers had been worked out.

$797 will be returned to the capital improvement fund. May explained that $70,000 had been
lost on the Puget Power grant due to timing. Committeemember Orr moved to accept the City

the motion passed 3-0.
Extension of Banking Service Contract
May Miller stated that U.S. Bank has agreed to continue the rates established in 1990 for one
more year. She noted that she had checked with other cities and the rates are very good in some
areas and seem to be competitive overall. Miller explained that Seafrst and other local banks
are included in bids for investments. Options for local financing of LID bonds are also being
researched. May noted that the cost of changing banking service is also a factor since so much
is done through wire transfers now there would be costs involved in changing banks.
May recommended that the banking agreement with U.S. Bank be extended for one more year.
Orr moved to accept the recommendation and authorize the extension of the banking contract
with U.S. Bank for one year. Houser seconded and the motion passed 3-0.
Added Item - Review of Investments
May Miller stated that since some questions had been raised at the Council meeting she wished
to review the City's investments with the Committee. May distributed handouts outlining the
City's investments. She explained that derivatives are very complex investments and that she
had been receiving information on the Orange County situation which is useful for analyzing
what not to do and how to guard against a similar situation here. She explained that some
governments are under pressure to earn more with their money and some states required
investments using leverage, particularly California.
The only investment Kent has that are remotely close to derivatives are callables which have
a set point that the investment is called and puts you in a position to reinvest at lower rates. She
informed the Committee that the Firemen's Relief and Pension Board has some mutual funds

that are not highly rated which they authorized to be sold at their last meeting. During further
discussion May noted that only 4% of Kent's investments are in the call pool which is a very
small percentage. Director of Operations Brent McFall stated that derivatives have a bad name
but the main reason for Orange County failing is they had borrowed to make an investment in
a derivative which is not a good investing practice. May agreed and added that the City does
not borrow. After further discussion,May stated that the City is very conservative in investing
which means a lower interest rate which is a trade off for more secure investments.
May introduced John Hillman to the Committee explaining that he will be Acting Finance
Director while she is in China.
There being no further business, Johnson adjourned the meeting at 9:55 a.m.
