The Kent City Code Chapter relating to fireworks does not specifically provide for the issuance of permits for a public display of fireworks. This Ordinance would amend the fireworks code to authorize the City Fire Marshal to issue permits for a public display of fireworks for Fourth of July and high school homecoming game ceremonies. Due to the need to expedite action on this matter, this Ordinance was considered by the Public Safety Committee at its meeting earlier today. Chief Angelo explained that every year Lake Meridian has operated a public fireworks display conducted by professionals but, with the annexation of the Lake Meridian area, it no longer falls under the control of the King County Fire Marshal leaving only State law to apply. He further explained that State law wording has quite a process to it and, in many cases, would be a good way to approach requests. He noted that the Fire Department would set up a system by which other departments would be contacted to make sure that there were no contradictions or improper actions in their areas of operation thereby allowing the City to expedite these public fireworks display requests. He also noted that anyone else requesting a fireworks display would go through a longer process through the Fire Marshal, to the Public Safety Committee, and back to City Council, which is the staff' s recommendation. He noted that this ordinance is very timely and needed if it' s to be in operation in time for the Fourth of July celebration. Lubovich noted that this ordinance does not expand or restrict the display of fireworks under the City' s fireworks code. He explained that the fireworks code currently deals with common fireworks, but that the public display would be processed through State law by the City. He noted that this ordinance sets up a process for the homecoming games and the Fourth of July ceremonies to authorize the Fire Marshal to issue the permits rather than to have the City Council do it. He explained that other public displays would have .to come to the City Council for issuance, but that 8 May 21, 1996 PUBLIC this basically expedites the processing of those SAFETY permits which are commonly experienced in the community. Mayor White urged that the paperwork and paper trail be kept to a minimum. BENNETT MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 3296 relating to the display of fireworks.

The City and the District recognize the significant long term value (tangible and non-tangible) of a joint operational agreement, functional consolidation and the higher level/quality of emergency and non-emergency services that can be attained through the synergistic benefits of this agreement. B. In light of the Growth Management Act, urban growth, limits of funding, limited resources and historical success of the agreement to date - the City and District seek to form a long term relationship through this agreement. Further, the City and the District continue to remain open to consider other such cooperative ventures between each other and other fire agencies when such contracts serve the service quality, long term equability and best interests of the citizens of the involved jurisdiction. C. Given that a majority of the District lies within Kent's identified urban growth area and that as a result of potential annexations, the transfer of responsibility for service and assets in the future may be significant, it is essential that the City and District make long term agreements to insure the continuance of/or improvement to the current level of service in both the District and City. D. By this agreement the District contracts with the City for the City to provide, through their Fire Department, fire prevention, suppression, medical aid/rescue services, hazardous materials, public education, fire apparatus and facility maintenance as well as fire administrative services to the District. E. This agreement is entered into by the City under the authority of RCW 35A.11.040 and the District under the authority of RCW 52.12.031 and in conformity with RCW 39.34, the Interlocal Cooperation Act. F. It is the purpose of this agreement to provide the terms and conditions under which the City will provide services to the District. 1 2. Services to be provided by City A The City agrees to furnish, through the Fire Department, fire and life safety protection to all properties and persons presently within or annexed to the District including all District owned or leased real and personal properties. Such fire and life safety protection shall be rendered, at least at the current level, and on the same basis as such protection is rendered to other areas within the City, or with which the City has contracts, but it assumes no liability for failure to do so by reason of any circumstances beyond its control and in the event of simultaneous fires or emergency medical calls within the City and outside of the City whereby facilities of the City are taxed beyond its ability to render equal protection, the officers and agents of the City shall have discretion as to which call shall be answered first and shall be the sole judge as the most expeditious manner of handling and responding to said calls. The City shall furnish all personnel required to perform the services described above. B. The City agrees that the long term services provided in this Agreement shall include cooperation with the Board of Commissioners of the District to continue and enhance the quality of capital asset maintenance, serviceability and emergency readiness. Programs for the improvement of training, public education, fire prevention, disaster planning and management, long range planning and professional/customer service orientation of the department will be continued by the City for the benefit of the City and the District in the event of the reduction in size and resources of the District as a result of annexations and incorporations. C. The Commissioners agree that the Fire Chief of the City shall be the Fire Chief of the District and be their Chief Administrator and Operational Officer. D. In the event that the Fire Chiefs position becomes vacant, the City agrees to allow the Board of Fire Commissioners of the District meaningful input into the criteria for the selection of a new Fire Chief. This may include active participation in the selection process and the ability to provide input to the Mayor or the Mayor's designee regarding the finalists prior to final selection. 3. Pavment by District A. The District agrees to levy the maximum regular tax rate permitted by statute, subject to RCW 84.55.010, tax LID limitations, on taxable property located within the District. From the annual operational revenue received by the District from tax levies and from all other non-capital reserve sources, the District shall retain sufficient funds for the payment of the following District operating expenses: 2 1. Commissioner's fees pursuant to RCW 52.14.010. 2. Membership fees for state and local municipal corporation associations and commissioners associations. 3. Operational, travel expenses, expenses incurred in attending meetings, training sessions, legislative and administrative hearings and all other such functions. 4. Insurance premiums. 5. Attorneys, accountants, auditors and investment officers fees and costs. 6. Election expenses. 7. Costs for obtaining inspections and permits. 8. Maintenance and operational expenses for District equipment not covered per the agreement by the City. 9. Expenses of public education and information program for the District. 10. Payroll and associated employee benefits, costs and expenses for full time, full paid District employees. 11. Pension and medical benefits and expenses for former District employees. 12. Such other reasonable and necessary expenses as may be incurred from time to time by the District and its Board of Commissioners. B. From the remaining District annual revenue (total *annual operational revenue less District expenses set forth above) the District shall retain 10% of the remaining *annual operational revenue. These funds are to be accumulated in a reserve fund to be expended by the Board of Commissioners for the purchase, replacement, lease and installation of capital equipment and facilities, the purchase of land, major repair and improvement of District assets, unforeseen emergency or extraordinary expenses and the payment of related debt. The balance (90%) of such remaining annual operational funds shall be paid to the City each year in semiannual installments on or before June 30 and December 31. *Annual revenue is the revenue achieved from the annual operational property tax levy and other miscellaneous operational revenues received during the year. It does not include existing capital assets, the sale of assets, funds or interest related to the Fire District reserve or capital project funds. 3 4. Insurance The City shall provide for Fire District No. 37, insurance "dollar" limits and coverage as described below: A PropeM Coverage: The City of Kent shall provide property coverage to ensure the full replacement costs of all Fire District No. 37 buildings, apparatus and equipment utilized by the City of Kent on behalf of Fire District No. 37. Unless the Fire District is negligent and as such directly contributes to the damage, the City shall cover the deductibles. For the purpose of this contract "full replacement costs" means the actual replacement of the asset with a new, modern, like and functional asset if it is not practical to do an acceptable level of repair. B. Liability Coverage: Recognizing that the City is self insured, the City of Kent shall provide general liability insurance to include errors, omissions coverage and automobile liability coverage to insure the City of Kent and Fire District No. 37 with regards to any and all operations by the City of Kent and it's personnel on behalf of Fire District No. 37. The limits of coverage to be provided by the City of Kent shall be equivalent to the highest per occurrence and total coverage which is provided for the City of Kent Fire Department. The City of Kent shall provide evidence of insurance to the District in writing when requested by the District in writing. 5. Property Ownership All property acquired by the District to enable it to perform the services required under this agreement, shall remain the property of the District in the event of the termination of this agreement, except as provided by statue in the event of annexations of District areas by the City. All property acquired by the City to enable it to perform the services required under this agreement, shall remain the property of the City in the event of the termination of this agreement. 6. Equipment Marking All equipment and personal property that has been or will be purchased by the District for use by the City under the terms of this agreement shall be inventoried and distinctly marked as property of the District. The inventory shall be maintained annually to reflect current status. 7. Normal Maintenance of District Facilities All station facilities owned by and located within the District and all equipment owned by the District shall be maintained to the highest quality standards by the City by funding adequate staff and modem preventative maintenance techniques to insure: a continued quality and professional environment; emergency readiness and to protect the citizens long term investment. 8. Normal Vehicle Maintenance and Operation The City shall furnish all required fuel, lubricants, normal service, minor and moderate repair/parts necessary for the proper operation of District equipment used to perform the services to be provided by the City under this agreement. It is recognized that the vehicles will be utilized periodically in the City, which is the basis for the City handling moderate repairs. 4 9. Major Repairs The District shall be responsible to fund all major capital repairs as a result of normal wear to its station facilities, vehicles (e.g, pump/engine replacement or facility roofs/systems replacement). A major capital repair shall be any single extraordinary repair that results from normal wear to capital related equipment and costs at least $2,500. It does not include major repairs as a result of accidents and damages typically covered by insurance. It is also recognized that some routine and moderate repairs may go beyond the $2,500 minimum. Fire Administration shall review each situation on a case by case basis to determine what warrants a moderate repair versus a major capital repair. The City and the Fire District have entered this agreement to share resources in order to give the best overall protection to citizens within the Fire District. However, there will be from time to time a piece of apparatus or special equipment that only one party owns yet both parties equally utilize. Major repair costs to such apparatus shall be shared equally. Examples of apparatus that typically fall into this category are, but not limited to, Shift Commanders Vehicle, Mobile Air Compressor System and Mobile Generator. Fire Administration will keep the City and Fire Commissioners informed of specific situations and the method of funding specific shared resources. 10. Equipment Location All equipment purchased by the District shall be assigned to and stationed in District stations whenever practicable; provided however, that such equipment may be used for calls within the City and may be temporarily stationed within the City when deemed necessary by the Fire Department Administration. In the event District equipment shall be out of service, the City agrees to temporarily assign and station City equipment in District stations when deemed necessary by the Fire Department Administration. The City Fire Department Administration shall advise the District Board of Commissioners of the permanent assignment and location of all District equipment and shall further advise the Board of any changes in such assignments prior to the time that the permanent change shall become effective. Such notifications shall be made as soon as is practical. 11. Personnel Assignment The City Fire Department Administration shall maintain the current levels of personnel assigned to staff District stations and equipment. In the event the City shall desire to make any permanent changes in any such staffing of District stations, the City shall submit a proposal for review to the District Board of Commissioners. If the District is providing funding for such resources they shall not be changed without written approval from the District Board of Commissioners. 12. District Emplovee The District shall employ at least one full time, fully paid employee in order to deliver an adequate level of service and to qualify for the maximum allowable levy rate. The nature of the position to be filled and the job description of the position shall be established by the Board of Commissioners on the recommendation of the Chief. The employee shall be selected by the Chief in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Commissioners and shall report to and act under the supervision of the Chief or the Chiefs desienee. 5 In the event that the provisions of Sections 16 and 17 of this contract are put into effect, and the City agrees to provide services to the remainder of the Fire District, the City agrees to continue the employment of the District's employee(s) in their position(s) within the Fire Department at an equivalent level to employees in a similar classification and job within the City. 13. Tax Lid Lift A. Pursuant to RCW 84.55.05.0, the determination of whether or not the District should submit a ballot proposition to the voters of the District to lift the tax lid within the District shall remain at the discretion of the Board of Commissioners. In the event the Board of Commissioners decide to lift the lid an addendum to the contract shall be prepared and reviewed by both parties. The addendum shall specify how the additional revenues shall be allocated. Upon mutual acceptance of the addendum it shall become part of the contract. B. Areas requiring additional funding may include but are not limited to: Lid Lift election expenses; covering costs of District employee; need to design, construct, and equip new or replacement District station; need to increase staffing in the District; or payment of unforeseen costs necessary for continued operation. C. Under Section 3 the regular levy is controlled by the limits of the tax lid and does not require the District to automatically lift the tax lid. 14. Liabifi The City shall, at all times, be solely responsible and liable for the acts or the failure to act of its personnel that occur or arise in any way out of the performance of this contract by its personnel. The City agrees to save and hold the District, District personnel and officials harmless, and cover all costs, expenses, losses and damages, including costs of defense, incurred as a result of any acts or omissions of City personnel relating to the performance of this contract. 15. Term This Agreement shall be effective on execution, and shall continue until either party shall give to the other 60 months written notice of termination on or before January 1 of any year. The 60 month period shall commence on January 1 of the year following written notification. This 60 month period is deemed necessary by the parties to develop a plan for the orderly transfer of assets, service and to provide for the continuity of public safety. 16. Annexations And Contracts For Service To The Fire District It is understood that any District annexations, annexations to the District by another municipal jurisdiction or contracts for fire and life safety services with other municipal jurisdictions or fire districts which impact the City's responsibility under this contract are subject to review and written approval by the City. The intent of such written approval is to insure that the City has the opportunity to fully evaluate the impacts, benefits and desirability of such actions and to protect the City's rights as it relates to the City's obligations under this contract. 6 17. Fiscal Impacts Due to Annexation A. As result of the implementation of the Growth Management Act there is the probability that over a period of time portions of the District, if not all of the District, will be annexed to Kent or other cities or be incorporated into new cities. It is the objective of the District that its residents continue to receive a level of emergency and protective services at least as high as they currently receive from the City of Kent Fire Department. Annexations by cities of areas of districts and incorporation of cities in district areas result in several statutory impacts on fire districts including the loss of tax revenue and the loss of district assets. Historically annexations and incorporations remove the higher assessed value areas from a district leaving the district with low tax revenue to serve larger low value geographic areas. This could result in a reduction in services to the residents and property owners that remain in the district. It is the intent of the parties that the areas that remain in the District continue to be served by the City of Kent Fire Department and that District assets continue to be used to provide the services. B. The parties agree that in the event of future annexations by the City that the parties will negotiate the transfer of assets from the District to the City, as set forth in section 18, to facilitate proper long term service capabilities. The parties further agree to cooperate to fund future services to the remainder of the District. C. The intent of the parties is to maintain or improve all existing services and the level at which the services are provided to the best ability of the parties, taking into consideration the resources available at the time. To that end the District and City agree to: 1. Continue to jointly plan for future capital, staffing and service needs in order to maintain or improve existing services. 2. To cooperatively fund operational needs with due consideration of the level of responsibility for, demand for service, assessed value and the overall benefits (tangible and non-tangible) to the City and District. The intent is to insure long term equity in the relationship. 3. The City agrees to enroll transferred apparatus and equipment into it's Apparatus Replacement Program to continue the City/District practice of timely replacement of apparatus and equipment to insure quality, dependability and a high emergency readiness. 7 18. Annexations Of The District A. It is important to note that the City of Kent and other jurisdictions may propose significant annexations within the District's protection area. Also, there are strong possible implications related to potential incorporations. It is in the interest of the City and Fire District to address the impacts and the potential resolutions of such issues. The parties agree that the asset transfer statutory requirements will determine asset transfer requirements, service area requirements under the applicable statutory provisions contained in chapters 35.02, 35A.14 and 52.04 RCW in the following manner: 1. In the event the City should, in a single annexation, annex any portion of the Fire Protection District that includes more than five percent (5%) of the area of the District but less than sixty percent (60%) of the assessed value of real property of the District, the District agrees to negotiate to transfer to the City within one year of the date of the annexation in cash, properties or contracts for fire protection services, a percentage of the value of the assets of the District equal to the percentage of the value of the real property of the entire District located within the annexed area. 2. The assets of the District to be transferred, shall be negotiated by the parties. The value of the assets shall be calculated by obtaining a current valuation of all real property owned by the District and calculating the depreciated cost basis of all personal property of the District. From the total gross value of the assets obtained by this method, the liabilities of the District shall be deducted. Liabilities shall include liquidated liabilities as well as unliquidated contingent liabilities. All valuations shall be determined by usual and accepted accounting methods. The net value of the assets of the District as determined above, shall be used for the calculation of the value of assets to be transferred. 3. In the event the City, in a single annexation, shall annex sixty percent (60%) or more of the assessed value of the real property of the District, then the provisions of RCW 35A.14.380 will apply. The RCW states that : "If a portion of afire protection district including at least sixty percent of the assessed valuation of the real property of the district is annexed to or incorporated into a code city, ownership of all of the assets of the district shall be vested in the code city, upon payment in cash, properties or contracts for fire protection services to the district within one year, of a percentage of the value of said assets equal to the percentage of the value of the real property in the entire district remaining outside the incorporated or annexed area. 8 The fire protection district may elect, by a vote of a majority of the persons residing outside the annexed area who vote on the proposition, to require the annexing code city to assume responsibility for the provision of fire protection, and for the operation and maintenance of the district's property, facilities, and equipment throughout the district and to pay the code city a reasonable fee for such fire protection, operation, and maintenance." B. The City and the District also recognize that given the Growth Management Act and the likely separate incremental annexations that will take place over the next couple of decades, may not result in any one (1) annexation taking 60% of the District. Such incremental annexations could seriously impact the welfare of the citizens and the overall viability of the District and City to deliver the same quality of service to the citizens as they currently enjoy. As a consequence, the parties agree as follows: 1. In consideration for the past, present and future value of a long term contractual relationship, the City and Fire District agree that in the spirit of RCW 35A.14, Fire Administration will calculate and inform both parties as to the cumulative total of valuation of the Districts area that has been annexed by the City since January 1, 1993. This will be done on an annual basis. For the purpose of this section the base valuation of the total District will be calculated by the total valuation of the District as of January 1, 1994. Annual adjustments will be made to the base valuation as a result of re-evaluations by the King County Assessor Office, new construction and reductions as a result of the annexation of District area by other cities or fire districts. 2. In the spirit of RCW 35A.14.380, at any time after the total remaining valuation of the Fire District becomes less than 40% of the 1994 base the District may choose to go to a vote of the people remaining in the District. That vote would be to determine if the District residents want to implement the transfer of ongoing responsibility for the delivery of fire and life safety services to the City in exchange for the net value of remaining assets and continued annual payment to the City of a reasonable fee for services. If approved by the voters of the District, the City agrees to continue to provide fire and life safety services to the residents who remain as part of the Fire District in exchange for transfer of the net value of the remaining assets of the District and an annual payment of a reasonable fee. The reasonable fee would be set by the District agreeing to levy the maximum regular tax rate permitted by statue subject to RCW 84.55.010, tax lid limitations on taxable property located within the District. 9 3. If section 18(B)2 is put into effect and the Commission is not dissolved then the Commission would deduct their operating expenses from annual operational revenue. All other operational revenue would be paid to the City to conduct operations and to provide needed assets. The intent is to insure that the citizens of the Fire District will continue to receive a high level of quality fire and life safety protection as the tax base for the District diminishes as a result of multiple annexations or incorporations. It is also to insure that the City receives appropriate compensation for continuing such services. 4. The protection area to be covered shall only be the area within the District at that time. Any jurisdictions contracting with the District will not automatically transfer to the City of Kent unless all the affected agencies so agree. 19. Modification This instrument constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements. No modification or amendment shall be valid unless evidenced in writing, properly agreed to and signed by both parties. In the event that either of the parties shall desire to renegotiate any of the provisions of this agreement, such party shall notify the other party in writing of it's intent. Such request to renegotiate shall not be considered a notice of termination as provided for in paragraph 15. 20. Severability If any provision of this agreement or its application is held invalid, the remainder of the agreement or the application of the remainder of the agreement shall remain valid and in full force and effect. 21. Benefits This agreement is entered into for the benefit of the parties to the agreement only and shall confer no benefits, direct or implied, on any third persons. 22. Addendums Past addendums, as set forth in the previous agreement for service between the parties dated December 9, 1986, document lid lifts for improved levels of staffing which have resulted in the current level of service (1996). They are covered under the intent of this contract to maintain or enhance the current level of service as annexations occur. These lid lift addendums are incorporated by reference.

SUMMARY STATEMENT: The Council approved the equipment and apparatus replacement fund. Battalion Chief John Willits and the Breathing Apparatus Committee, under the leadership of Lieutenant Bob Schneider, have demonstrated that many of our breathing apparatus have gone past or are near their life expectancy. Repair frequency has increased and Personal Alert Safety System (PASS) devices no longer meet safety requirements or have parts available. Even so, our experience with MSA Breathing Apparatus has been very good and dependable. After evaluating several alternatives, we found that to minimize cost of replacement, meet safety requirements and performance re- quirements, it is in the best interest of the City to continue the use of MSA Breathing Apparatus. We are able to continue to use several parts of the system and can replace some system elements over the next couple of years. The only authorized MSA vendor in our region is the SeaWestern Company. In accordance with City purchasing guidelines, approval of this item is requested to grant authority under the sole vendor provision for the Mayor to sign the purchase order for $165, 984 . 21 with SeaWestern for self-contained breathing apparatus harnesses, mask mounted regulator systems with Quick Fill adapters. 3 .

CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Councilmember moves, Councilmember seconds DISCUSSION• ACTION• Council Agenda Item No. 3E TO: — ,Chief Aldridge FROM: Battalion Chief Willits DATE: May 9, 1996 RE: REQUEST TO PURCHASE NEW BREATHING APPARATUS. Per our numerous conversations regarding the condition of our current breathing apparatus, I am requesting funds at this time to upgrade and replace these apparatus. There are several very key reasons why I feel we need to update and replace these apparatus as soon as possible. The Kent Fire Department purchased the current breathing apparatus between the years of 1983 and 1989. These breathing apparatus are subject to very high use within the fire department. They are worn on virtually every non medical call we respond to. Our current breathing apparatus are at, or near the end of their useful life. Each and every year the maintenance budget must be increased and the manhours spent on repair increase to keep these existing units in service. The costs to maintain and service these units are reaching the point to where it would be more prudent to purchase new units than continue to repair the existing units. These units are reaching the point, due to age and high usage, to which the safety of the user could be compromised based on repeated breakdowns. In addition, the current personal alert safety devices (pass alarms) used by the Kent Fire Department are no longer being manufactured. At this time we have no choice but to switch to a different type of pass device. Our current pass devices which were also purchased at the same time as the breathing apparatus, are near or at the end of their useful life. Another problem we are facing is the replacement of our breathing apparatus cylinders. These cylinders have a life of fifteen years per government regulations. Our current cylinders are nearing this deadline and will require replacement. Page Two We have completed extensive research, and evaluation of the various types of breathing apparatus, pass devices, and cylinders available to replace our existing equipment. We have researched upgrading our existing equipment as well as an outright replacement of all existing equipment. We have received bids from at least three or more separate vendors of the equipment. We have found that an outright replacement of all the required equipment would be extremely cost prohibitive. It is my conclusion that the most cost effective manner in which to replace our existing breathing apparatus would be by staying with the current manufacturer and upgrading our existing equipment. At this time I am requesting authority to enter into a purchase agreement with Sea-Western Fire Apparatus & Equipment for the following equipment, (see attachment). Sea Western will be the sole vender as they are the only distributor for MSA breathing apparatus. Sea Western will provide the upgraded products as well as the service required to allow us to upgrade our current equipment to the level required. The following quantities and prices do not include all the items needed to reach our goal, however I realize that there are limited funds available and several other projects that need additional monies. I will pursue these additional equipment needs through the annual budget process. Thank you for your time in this matter, and feel free to contact me about any questions you may have.

CDUEEF- d0cnD > 0E- U — — � o LAW ENFORCEMENT KENT POLICE DEPARTMENT Introduction: From 1991 to 1993 , the Kent Police Department provided community policing services to Valli Kee Homes. The Kent Police Department is very familiar with the Working Together Program Model. On December 1, 1995 Kent Police in conjunction with King County Police started providing community policing services at the Springwood Apartments. This was in anticipation of the Meridian annexation which became effective January 1, 1996 . The Kent Police Department has taken over staffing and management of the substation at Springwood. Background of Proposed Service: The proposed program will be managed from patrol division of the Kent Police Department. The patrol division has 76 employees - a division Commander (Captain) ; Three watch commanders (Lieutenants) , nine sergeants, sixty two police officers and one civilian employee. Programs of the patrol division include several specialty units - traffic, canine, proactive, bicycle patrol, marine, and emergency response team. The Kent Police Department is very interested in developing and continuing the concept of community policing as an approach to crime reduction in local Kent neighborhoods. Kent Police have assigned two full-time police officer form the Bicycle Patrol Unit (who are generally chosen for their interactive e skill with youth, offenders, and citizens. ) They are generally excellent problem solvers. Baseline Police Protection: For the Kent Police Department, basic police protection is response to emergency calls. In Kent, that means response to calls dialed by citizens through the 911 emergency number. Other services include traffic complaint investigation and crime prevention services, that is, Block Watch for residential neighborhoods and Business Watch for commercial areas. Patrol, investigation, records dispatch, special operations are all part of the baseline services available to all citizens of Kent. Additional programs are offered on a "resource available" basis. Such programs include DARE, Graffiti Reduction, and Youth Crime Prevention, i.e. like Explorer Scouts and bicycle patrols. These are offered when funding is available most often from sources outside the police department. The Cooperation Agreement between the King County Housing Authority and the City of Kent provides for baseline services as follows: "Furnish or cause to be furnished to the local authority and the tenants or such development public services and facilities of the same character and to the same extent as are furnished from time to time without cost or charge to other dwellings and inhabitants in the municipality. " (1978) Description of Proposed service: The city of Kent Police Department proposes to staff the Springwood Substation from 2 : 00 PM to 12 : 00 AM daily, through the assignment of two officers assigned ten hours per day, four days per week. Friday is the only weekday in which two officers will be assigned together at the substation. Officers work four (10 hours each day) and are off for three days. Officers will walk and ride bicycles in both Springwood and Valli Kee to make themselves more accessible to residents. They will, however, each report to the Kent Police Station to pick up cars during the beginning of their shift and return the cars at the close of their shift. This is expected to take about one hour per day. Officers assigned to the Springwood Substation will devote 80% of their time to Springwood and 20% of their time to Valli Kee. The exact scheduling of their presence at Valli Kee will vary, but can be adjusted when the resident council and the officers schedule meetings or other activities which need the officer's presence. Community police officers at the Springwood Substation will participate in community activities, will be a visible presence within the Springwood neighborhoods, and will attend Working Together related meetings, and resident council meetings at both Valli Kee and Springwood. Services will be clearly defined in a contracting process to include the Model Contract for Supplemental Law Enforcement Services to Public Housing Residents which will be attached to the standard King County Housing Authority Contract for Services as an addendum. A copy of the model contract is included in the appendix to the grant. In addition to the MODEL CONTRACT, the Kent Police Department will use the reporting system developed to meet the requirements of what is included in the NOFA's "Document of Public Housing Authorities to Negotiate Agreements of Law Enforcement Services. " The reporting forms are a combination of current reporting forms used by local police departments and the information suggested in the NOFA. The Kent Police Department is committed to a community policing model which is a holistic approach to law enforcement. This model assesses the risk factors present in the community, the signs and symptoms that problems may be forthcoming, and provides for an analysis and subsequent plan of action which prevents problems. Community policing is problem-solving at its best. Police working hand-in-hand with public housing resident intervene early in problems to find solutions before they escalate into crimes, Community policing is particularly effective in drug elimination activities because it responds immediately to tell tale signs that drugs and drug-related crime are occurring and stops that activity before it does much damage in the community. Through their regular contact with residents and housing management be able to intervene early with potential problems by acting on the following signs and symptoms that drugs may be at issue in Springwood and Valli Kee Homes. The Kent Police Department will identify and interdict: M . Youth gang activity, graffiti, other signs Of youth problems (2) . Resident fails to pay rent or is late with rent check. (3) . Evidence of firearms. (4) . Abandoned automobiles. (5) . Unusually large numbers of visitors for short periods of time. (6) . Unusual and /or disruptive behavior. (7) . Increase in crimes associated with getting money for drugs. The Community Service Officer walks through the community or rides a bicycle, stops frequently to talk with residents, and follows up on resident concerns and complaints. He is quick to notice "signs and symptoms" and act upon them. In addition to continuing this work, the following activities are recommended for the 1996-1997 contract: (1) . Regular contact with residents and high visibility in both the Springwood and Valli Kee communities. (2) . Coordinated efforts with human service providers and housing management to problem solve before issues escalate into crimes or evictions. (3) . Attendance at resident council meetings and Working Together Team meetings. (4) . Youth activities such as a bicycle rodeo and other youth programs that help to offer alternatives to drugs and/or gang involvement. (5) . Crime prevention activities with both youth and adult residents. Costs of the Proposed Services: The Kent Police Substation at Springwood Apartments is proposed to cost $152,481. 00 for the twelve month period beginning December 1, 1996 through November 30, 1997 . The costs provide for two full-time uniformed patrol officer and miscellaneous supplies and the substation telephone. The local in-kind costs are proposed to cost $45, 079 . 00 which will provide the upkeep of a police vehicle, protective equipment, and training for the two officers. Impacts of the Proposed Services: The proposed substation continues to have a positive impact on the community. Among them is a reduction in drug-related crime, an increase in reporting of issues for early interventions that are less costly and problematic to the community and the police as well, and a decrease in emergency medical calls to the local fire department. The proposed grant will continue it's positive impact because of the added hours of coverage, seven days per week. (1) . Officers can be more available to individuals and groups in springwood. (2) . Officers can be more involved with youth in various youth programs in Springwood and Valli Kee. Initiatives that can be Sustained Over Several Years: For the Kent Police Department, the Springwood substation contract represents a continuation of its community policing efforts. Timetable for Proposed services: The proposed services will begin December 1, 1996 . The services will be provided full-time for 12 months, and will end on November 30, 1997 . REIMBURSEMENT OF LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY FOR ADDITIONAL SECURITY AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES KENT POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET NARRATIVE BRIEF PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The King County Housing Authority will contract with the Kent Police Department to provide a community policing substation at Springwood Apartments, staffed by two full- time officers.

On April 2, 1996 Council elected to remain as part of the King County Consortium and to receive pass-through funds. Recently the City received its estimate of pass-through funds for 1997 from King County. The estimate of $450,256 is approximately $13,706 more than the City received for its 1996 program. The estimate at this time is based on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) proposed 1997 budget. The estimated amount may increase or decrease due to changes in the entitlement, program income and recaptured funds. Local CDBG Program Strategies for 1996 - 1999, that form the basis for decisions pertaining to the allocation of CDBG funds in the City of Kent, were adopted by Council in 1995. There are no amendments to the strategies at this time. The City Council needs to take two actions: 1. Public (Human) Services Funding The City can reserve the maximum of its fair share of public services dollars. If the City does not reserve the right to use this amount of funding for human services, another city can request the use of any unreserved ceilings. In order to retain the maximum flexibility in the use of its CDBG funds, and to continue in its present support for human services, the Planning Department recommends that the City of Kent notify the County that it wishes to reserve the maximum dollars for human services. The estimated 1997 CDBG funding amount for human services is $72,925. 220401 AVF SO /6FNT WASHINCTON W1'-5805/TPLPPIIONF f°0[rK59-71001 FAX#459-411; 1996 Local CDBG Funding Levels June 4, 1996 Page 2 2. Planning and Administration Funds As with human services, the City has a maximum of its CDBG funds that can be spent for Planning and Administration. In 1996 the City reserved the maximum amount available. The Planning Department recommends allocating the maximum amount available in 1997 to fund a portion of salaries and other activities associated with the administration of the program. The maximum amount of 1997 CDBG funds estimated to be available for Planning and Administration is $63,933. The remaining funds would be used for capital projects. The City traditionally funds the Kent Housing Repair Services Program out of this category and also any additional capital project requests that Council approves. The City's approval of these two items needs to be forwarded to King County by June 7, 1996. The Planning Committee recommended adoption of both items at its May 21st meeting. Recommended Action 1. Allocate the City's maximum available of 1997 CDBG funds for Public (Human) Services ($72,925). 2. Allocate the City's maximum available of 1997 CDBG funds for Planning and Administration ($63,933).

We used 1995 CDBG funds to pay for the rental of a van which is used in our home repair program. The portion of the monthly equipment rental charges which the auditor determined cannot be paid for with CDBG funds is the inflation component. The remainder of the costs are allowable charges to CDBG. We have made the necessary adjustments so that 1996 charges for the inflation component of equipment rental are not charged to CDBG. As you are aware, we receive our Community Development Block Grant dollars as a "pass- through" from King County. Since King County is our grantor of these funds, the disposition of these unallowable charges is between King County and the City of Kent. We have been in communication with King County staff, and they have informed us that the $984 does have to be reimbursed to the CDBG fund. We can do this, though, in a way that will not financially impact the City. The way this can be done is for us to identify a program which the City of Kent has budgeted for with general fund dollars in 1996, but which is also CDBG- eligible. The City Council would have to authorize taking $984 in general funds away from this program and then the City of Kent would cut a check for this amount to the King County CDBG fund. The Council would further specify that this $984 check should be earmarked to Kent's 1996 CDBG pass-through allocation, and that these funds should be allocated back to this program. The program would still get the same amount of money, only now $984 of it would be CDBG dollars instead of general fund dollars. This method is acceptable to both the County and to HUD as a means of disposition of this $984. Staff has reviewed the programs funded with 1996 general fund human services dollars and has identified a project which is also CDBG-eligible. This is the Community Health Center's Health 1 220 4111 we.so.. i KGNT.WASH I%GTON ex03'-580S rTEI-FPIIONe e061859-330i FA a av-,aa Disposition of CDBG Audit Condition June 4, 1996 Services program. This particular program is funded with both general fund and CDBG dollars in 1996, so it will be an easy transfer without impacting either the City or the agency. We will merely need to amend the existing contracts. Since the agency already receives CDBG dollars from the City, it has already met the federal requirements for receiving funding. The City Council Planning Committee considered this item at its May 21, 1996 meeting and unanimously recommended disposition as outlined above. The Planning Committee recommends that the full City Council consider the following action at its June 4, 1996 meeting: Recommended Action 1. Authorize taking $984 of general fund dollars from the 1996 Community Health Center's Health Services Program, and cut a check for this amount to the King County CDBG fund. 2. Specify that this $984 check should be earmarked to Kent's 1996 CDBG pass-through allocation. 3. Specify that this $984 of additional 1996 pass-through dollars should be allocated back to the Community Health Center's CDBG Community Health Services Program. LH/mp:CC6.96 cc: James P.

Through the 1995 Home Repair Repair Program, the Planning Department used the 1995 CDBG funds to pay for the rental of a van which is used in the CDBG's home repair program.

We have been in communication with King County staff, and they have informed us that the $984 does have to be reimbursed to the CDBG fund. King County and staff have agreed this is the best method to resolve the situation and this will not financially impact the City.

Location The proposed annexation is generally located on the eastern edge of the City, east of 132nd Avenue S.E. to 148th Avenue S.E. and between S.E. 235th Street and S.E. 256th Street. The proposed annexation also extends westerly from 132nd S.E. and along S.E. 248th Street to 127th Avenue S.E.(if extended southerly from S.E. 240th Street) and northerly to S.E. 240th Street and then westerly along S.E. 240th Street to just west of 126th Place S.E. and then northerly to approximately S.E. 235th. 1 11041h AA F SU_ /IiFVT_AA--ASMNCTON 1)8032-N`)S/"I Fl FPIIONF 'Ul �0 1100/F X ¢"9 Meridian Valley Country Club Annexation 4AN-96-1 June 4, 1995 III. Size of Proposed Annexation The proposed annexation is approximately 891 acres. IV. Background Information This proposed annexation generally lies northerly of the Meridian Annexation which was annexed to the City on January 1, 1996. According to the Finance Department, there are approximately 1,665 dwellings in the proposed annexation area. The estimated population for the Meridian Valley Country Club annexation is 3,500-4,000 persons. V. County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning, King County's recently adopted Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan designates the Meridian Valley Country Club annexation area as Urban Residential 4 to 12 dwelling units per acre, Urban Residential with more than 12 dwelling units per acre, and Neighborhood Commercial (around the intersection of 132nd Avenue South and SE 240th Street. The County's zoning is primarily Residential with 4 dwelling units per acre (the Meridian Valley Country Club and the area north of S.E. 240th Street), Neighborhood and Office around the intersection of SE 240th street and 132nd Avenue SE and, surrounding the commercial and office, are varying multifamily residential zoning classifications. VI. Kent's East Hill Plan and Zoning Kent's Growth Management Act Land Use Plan covers the proposed Meridian Valley Country Club annexation. The plan's land use designation is Urban.Residential, 4 to 12 dwelling units per acre except southwest and southeast of the intersection of 132nd Avenue S.E. and S.E. 240th Street where the land use designation is Urban Residential, 12 plus dwelling units per acre, and at the intersection where the land use designation is Commercial. An Urban Residential designation with 12 plus dwelling units per acre lies just north of the commercial designation and on the east side of 132nd Avenue S.E. These Kent land use densities are the same as those in the County's land use Plan as discussed in Section V. Meridian Valley Country Club Annexation 'MAN-96-1 June 4, 1995 Since the area of the Meridian Valley Country Club annexation is in unincorporated King County, there are no City designated zoning districts. However, the State Growth Management Act mandates that when zoning is applied to any area within the City, including a newly annexed area, zoning designations must follow the underlying comprehensive plan land use designations. Upon annexation to the City, staff will analyze existing County Comprehensive Plan land use designations to determine their appropriateness for Kent and will, after meeting with citizens in the affected area, make recommendations for any changes deemed appropriate to the Land Use and Planning Board. The Board will ultimately make a recommendation to the City Council who will make the final decisions as to what Comprehensive land use designation will be placed on land in the Meridian Valley Country Club annexation area and what the implementing zoning designations will be. Kent's zoning for the area westerly and southerly of the proposed annexation is 4.5 dwelling units per acre. VII. Fiscal Imoact Analysis The assessed valuation of the Meridian Valley Country Club annexation area is $269,443,436. The total estimated revenue from the annexation area is approximately $1,360,435 and is shown in the attached chart. At this time, the estimated expenditures are not complete. City departments are presently working with the City administration to determine staffing needs and anticipated capital expenditures. VIII.. City Annexation Policies In 1987 the City Council adopted policies that deal with annexations (Resolution 1150). A review of those policies indicates that the Meridian Valley Country Club annexation satisfies their intent. mp:c:an961.fin cc: Fred N.

CITY OF . 1 Jim White, Mavor Planning Department (206) 859-3390/FAX(206) 850-2544 James P. Harris,Planning Director MEMORANDUM June 4, 1996 TO: MAYOR JIM WHITE AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: FRED N. SATTERSTROM, PLANNING MANAGER RE: STONEGATE KNOLLS PRELIMINARY PLAT (CITY OF KENT FILE #SU-96- 18) -RECOMMENDATION OF KING COUNTY HEARING EXAMINER(KING COUNTY FILE NO. L95P0002) BACKGROUND: 14 The proposed Stonegate Knolls preliminary plat consists of 79 residential lots on a 18.5 acre site located generally south of SE 240th Street between 116th Ave SE and 120th Ave SE. Proposed lot sizes range from 5,481 to 9,959 square feet, with one lot measuring 26,091 square feet. The applicant and developer of the proposed plat is Centex Real Estate Corporation, Bellevue, WA. The proposed preliminary plat of Stonegate Knolls was originally filed and processing begun while still in unincorporated King County. Located in the Meridian annexation area, the Stonegate Knolls site came into the City of Kent on January 1, 1996. The King County Hearing Examiner had issued a recommendation of approval to the King County Council on December 5, 1995; however, this recommendation was under appeal by adjacent landowners when the property was annexed into the City. Furthermore, the City of Kent Mayor's Office had requested a re-opening of the subdivision hearing process on January 10, 1996 based on emergency access and drainage concerns. This request was later withdrawn by letter dated February 5, 1996 after assurances from the developer had been made to the City. (These exhibits are included in the City Council's agenda packet.) Pursuant to the interlocal agreement between King County and the City, the King County Hearing Examiner completed his reconsideration proceedings. On April 23, 1996, the King County Hearing Examiner issued his final recommendation on the proposed preliminary plat whereupon, according to interlocal agreement, it was forwarded to the Kent Citv Council for decision. RECOMMENDATION: Throughout the public hearing process before the Kin; County Hearing Examiner, there has been much testimony by adjacent property owners and citizens relative to access, drainage, and safety concerns. At the time this matter was forwarded to the City for review and decision by the Kent City 2201t1 AA'P SO /KENF WAS II I NGTOV9411:15so ' II'PIIOVI' 121161459 it1)II/FAX#S 0 i•`4 Stonegate Knolls Preliminary Plat#SU-96-18 June 4, 1996 Council, a "Statement of Concerns" was received from Marvin Eckfeldt(dated May 9, 1996) which staff will introduce into the record at the Council's meeting. These concerns relate-to safety, drainage, and streets. The text of the King County Hearing Examiner is attached to this memo and is forwarded to the City Council for your approval,disapproval or modification. This is the same procedure we follow with recommendations of the City's own hearing examiner. However, Planning Department staff would suggest that the City Council add a condition to the preliminary plat of Stonegate Knolls relative to emergency access and drainage. This condition would be directed at ensuring that the developer of Stonegate Knolls follows through with promises to construct a connection from 117th Ave SE to 116th Ave SE, as evidenced in his letter to the City dated January 22, 1996 and attached herewith.

It ie my understanding that, prior to approving the Stoneaate Knolls Subdivision application, the County' s Department of Development and Economic Services (I'DDES" ) sought and obtained comments from the City of Kent' s Public Works Department and Firc District 37 (which is operated in its entirety under contract with the City of Kent) regarding the proposed Ston•_cate Knolls- Subdiviminn . The city and the Fire Department did in fact ccttiment on this subdivisicn, and their eemments focused in large part on the subject of emergency vehicle access within the nuhdiviei.nn. The City' s public Anfety concerns and the - conditions it addressed were based in large part on the I Preliminary Plat drawing submitted for the City' s review at that time . significantly, both departments requested and relied on I the eximtence of alternate access on the proposed plat in the event of a compound ptablic emergency. 1 _. _ t3P+.AAVE! qf) I We Nt WA,41IN, nn It 1.trtRl.`It II(MIXIU-IIM rYAX I Ili May-30-96 04 : 23P P .

PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Land Use Services Division's Report and examining available information on file with the application, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: The hearing on Item No. L95P0002 was opened by the Examiner at 9:15 a.m. , November 28, 1995, in Hearing Room No. 2, Department of Development and Environmental Services, 3600 - 136th Place S.E. , Suite A, Bellevue, Washington, and closed at 12:45 p.m. On December 5, 1995 (7 days following) the Examiner issued a Report and Recommendation to the King County Council. The recommendation was timely appealed by Ronald Banister, Janice Banister, Linda Bushaw, Lawrence Noland, Brad Martin, Gina Martin and Marvin Eckfeldt on December 22, 1995. Because the appeal process requires substantial lead time (in order to provide the applicant and other interested persons opportunity to respond to the appeal) , the King County Council could not hear the appeal in 1995. On January 1, 1996, annexation of the subject property by the City of Kent became effective. The King County Examiner and the Metropolitan King County Council lost jurisdiction in this matter. From that date forward, all review of the proposed plat of Stonegate Knolls was suspended, pending completion of an interlocal agreement between the City of Kent and King County which addressed the manner by which actively pending land use applications within the annexation area would be processed. That interlocal agreement (Exhibit No. 33) was signed by all required City and County officers on March 20, 1996. For reasons discussed in finding No. 7, below, the Examiner administratively reopened the hearing two days later (March 22, Stonegate Knolls - L95P0002 Page 2 1996) , providing opportunity for additional comment from the Applicant, the Department of Development and Environmental Services, and other interested persons. The Notice of Administratively Reopened Hearing provided 14 days, until April 5, 1996, for response to new information provided by Norman G. Angelo (Fire Chief, Kent Fire Department) and the above described Appellants. Participants at the public hearing and the exhibits offered and entered are listed in the attached minutes. A verbatim recording of the hearing is available in the office of the King County Hearing Examiner. FINDINGS. CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS• 1. General Information: Developer: Centex Real Estate Corp. 2320 - 130th Avenue N.E. , Suite 200 Bellevue, WA 98005 (206) 882-3611 Engineer: Landmark, Inc. 1130 - 140th Avenue N.E. , Suite 200 Bellevue, WA 98005 (206) 340-1100 Surveyor: Hansen & Swift 4800 Capitol Blvd. , Suite D Tumwater, WA 98501 (360) 754-2999 STR: NW 21-22-5 - Location: Lying approximately between 116th Avenue S.E. and 120th Avenue S.E. , and between 242nd Street and S.E. 245th Street (if these two roads were developed) Zoning: RS-7200-P pursuant to KCC Title 21; R-6 (six dwelling units per acre) pursuant to KCC Title 21A Acreage: 18.58 Number of Lots: 79 Typical Lot Size: Ranges from approximately 5,500 square feet to 10,000 square feet, with one larger lot at 26,091 square feet. These typical lot sizes may be slightly modified in order to accommodate cul-de-sac turnaround bulb design and construction. See Finding No. 4B, below. Proposed Use: Single-family detached residences Sewage Disposal: City of Kent Water Supply: City of Kent Fire District: King County Fire District #37 School District: Kent School District #415 Date of Application: January 19, 1995 2. Centex Real Estate Corporation (the "Applicant") proposes to subdivide an 18.58-acre parcel into 79 single-family residential building lots. Using the lot averaging provisions contained in KCC 21.08.080, the Applicant Stonegate Knolls - L95P0002 Page 3 proposes lot sizes ranging from 5,481 to 9,959 square feet, with one remainder lot measuring 26,091 square feet. 3. An Environmental Impact Statement is not required. On October 3, 1995, the King County Environmental Division issued a threshold determination of non-significance (DNS) for the proposed development. That is, the Environmental Division published its determination that, based upon the environmental review it had conducted pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act '(SEPA) , RCW 43.21C, the proposal would not cause probable significant adverse impacts upon the environment; and therefore, the proposal would not require preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement prior to taking final action on the proposed development. 4. The King County Department of Development and Environmental Services (the "Department") recommends granting approval to the proposed subdivision, subject to 32 conditions of final plat approval. Those conditions are set forth on pages 11 through 16 of the Department's Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner dated November 28, 1995 (Exhibit No. 2) , except for the following amendments incorporated in the Department's final recommendation at the conclusion of the hearing: A. Downstream capacity analysis. Storm retention/ detention (R/D) pond release rates may need to be decreased due to downstream cross culvert sizing, driveway culvert sizing, and ditch erosion. Not mentioned in the Department's preliminary recommendation, its final recommendation requires a downstream capacity analysis prior to establishing any release rate standard, consistent with the King County Surface Water Management Design Manual. Recommended Condition Nos. Ba and 8b; Exhibit No. 17. B. Configuration for 117th Avenue S.E. Proposed 117th Avenue S.E. , as shown in the Applicant's preliminary plat drawing (Exhibit No. 7) stubs to the west boundary of the subject property, coincident with an abutting private street owned by First Christian Church. This configuration has raised several concerns regarding placement of a temporary turnaround bulb, access restriction to the First Christian Church private road, and barricade standard. The Applicant suggests solving these issues by developing 117th Avenue S.E. as a cul- de-sac, consistent with "urban minor access street" design standards contained in the King County Road Standards (KCRS) . Recommended Condition No. 9c; Exhibit No. 23. This issue, related to the "second access" issue is a core concern of the appeal which some neighboring property owners had filed with the Metropolitan King County Council. In addition, it is a central concern of Kent Fire Chief Norman G. Angelo. These concerns are reviewed further in finding No. 7, below. C. Safe walking conditions for students. Citing the "safe walking conditions" standard contained in RCW 58.17.110, the Department adds to its preliminary recommendation an additional recommendation to provide either eight-foot-wide gravel shoulders along 120th Avenue S.E. and S.E. 248th Street, or to provide "an alternative walkway" consistent with KCRS. The Applicant agrees to this additional condition, but asks that the range of possible solutions be broadened to include "an alternative route for walkway facilities"-- Stonegate Knolls - L95P0002 Page 4 a request to which the Department accedes. Recommended Condition No. 9g; Exhibit No. 24. D. School enrollment impact fees. Effective January 1, 1996, the subject property will be annexed to the City of Kent. This pending action has instigated some disagreement between the Department and the Applicant regarding the appropriate final plat approval language for requiring the collection of school enrollment impact fees. This disagreement is solved by eliminating specific reference to King County Ordinance Nos. 10162 and 11569, but retaining that language which requires enrollment impact fees, including 50% of the fee payment at the time of final plat approval. Recommended Condition No. 12; Exhibit No. 24. E. Southeast 244th Street stub improvement. A half-street segment of proposed S.E. 224th Street right-of-way abuts proposed Tract C. In its preliminary recommendation, the Department recommended that this right-of-way segment be improved to KCRS half-street standard in order to maximize access to Tract C (a stormwater detention tract) . The Applicant asks, as an alternative to actual development prior to final plat approval, that the Applicant be allowed to post bond or other appropriate security consistent with KCC 19.36.060. The Department agrees, and in addition, suggests that it would be appropriate to exempt the Applicant from this improvement requirement if it proves to be an undue hardship, particularly with respect to "an insurmountable design problem". That design problem could relate to cut and fill, vertical alignment, slope easements, need for additional property to accommodate cut slope or fill, or loss of Tract C area. Recommended Condition No. 9b. Because it is related to the "second access" issue, the future of Southeast 244th Street is of concern to Kent Fire Chief Angelo and some neighboring property owners. As a core issue in the appeal and the reconsideration comments of Chief Angelo, it is reviewed further in finding No. 7, below. In addition, the Department amends its Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner at page 7, Section I, paragraph 4, subparagraph b, to note that the "advertisement for bids" for improvements to 120th Avenue S.E./S.E. 240th Street intersection has been postponed from January 1996 to January 1997. Further, contrary to the Preliminary Report, project completion is expected in the spring of 1997, not the "spring or summer of 1996". Finally, the Department Staff amends its Preliminary Report to note that, with the implementation of the new KCC .21A _zoning code, the subject property would be reclassified from RS-7200-P to "R-6" (six dwelling units per acre) if it were to remain in King County. 5. The Applicant accepts the Department's final recommendation as described in Finding No. 4, above. However, the Applicant expresses concern regarding the duplication of transportation mitigation payment system (MPS) fees required by KCC 14.75 and transportation mitigation fees required by the City of Kent pursuant to annexation. The Department answers that it is the intention of the Department and the Department of Public Works that the final MPS billing shall not duplicate any City of Kent transportation mitigation billing. Further, the Department responds, an administrative appeal procedure is available should any Stonegate Knolls - L95P0002 Page 5 disagreement arise regarding an MPS billing. In its final response, the Applicant did not further raise this issue. 6. Owners of neighboring properties raised the following issues and concerns: A. Drainage. Neighbors (Noland and Martin) located west of the proposed subdivision refuse to grant a drainage easement to accommodate the proposed development. However, these neighbors would have no objection to an appropriately-sized drain pipe if it were located beneath a westward extension of (proposed) S.E. 244th Street, developed to urban standard at the Applicant's expense. The Department indicates that there are other drainage routes available, although a variance from Surface Water Management standards may be required. According to Baird testimony, an artificial dam on the Noland property backs water flowing through an unnamed water course onto the Baird property (which is located between the Noland property and the [approximately) south half of the subdivision) . The Department recommends a thorough downstream analysis. This Examiner's Report adopts and recommends that same requirement. The Department intends to require the downstream analysis to show that any existing problem, such as flooding, is not aggravated by the proposed development. In addition, Baird has been advised that he may seek further guidance toward resolving this flooding problem by contacting the responsible "sensitive areas" staff within the Land Use Services Division of the Department and/or by contacting the Surface Water Management Division of the Department of Public Works. B. Pedestrian circulation. King County Road Standards (KCRS) require a walkway to extend from a cul-de-sac terminus to the next available public street when that walkway would accommodate pedestrian access to a pedestrian generator. Also, RCW 58.17.110, in part, requires safe walking conditions for students who walk to school. Considering these standards, the Department recommends that a walkway be extended from the west terminus of proposed 117th Avenue S.E. to 116th Avenue S.E. , a minor arterial. First Christian Church, owner of a private road along the most logical walkway alignment, expresses concern regarding possible liability problems which may arise from locating a walkway easement within their private road right-of- way. However, both the Church and the Applicant are willing to enter negotiations which address the Church's concerns. An alternative location for such a walkway would-be to extend proposed S.E. 244th Street westward to 116th Avenue S.E. This option, however, would require the agreement of Williams/Martin and Noland, Tax Lot Nos. 9050 and 9042. Martin indicates that the S.E. 244th Street alignment would not be acceptable unless the street were fully improved to appropriate urban standard. The Department, however, regards either walkway as optional, at the Applicant's discretion. If the Applicant is unable to reach agreement with First Christian Church, Williams/Martin, or Noland, then the Applicant may provide walkways along another route which has been identified by the Department Staff. See also Finding No. 4C. Stonegate Knolls - L95P0002 Page 6 C. Internal circulation. One neighboring property owner criticizes the widths of proposed internal Stonegate Knolls streets, observing that they are "too narrow" by City of Kent standards. Stated another way, City of Kent minor residential access street standards may be considered excessively wide when compared to County standards (which are intended to reduce impervious surfaces and consequent storm drainage problems) . The street widths must comply, at a minimum, with KCRS design requirements. The City of Kent, which annexed the subject property effective January 1, 1996, and the Applicant have entered into an annexation agreement which addresses the city's requirements. Whether wider streets are required or not, therefore, is a matter which may be resolved between the Applicant and the City of Kent. D. Sewer access. First Christian church expresses concern regarding how sewer access for the proposed development . may affect the church. If, in fact, any easement across First Christian Church property is required, such concerns may be addressed by direct negotiations between the church and the Applicant. 7. Second Access. As noted in the public hearing description on pages 1 and 2 of this Report and Recommendation to the Kent City Council, several parties filed timely appeal to the Metropolitan King County Council on December 22, 1995. That appeal addressed several issues regarding safety, drainageways, and streets/roads. The appeal concerns regarding drainageways and streets/roads are not reviewed further here, and were not a subject of the administratively reopened hearing, because they are adequately addressed elsewhere in this report and in the public hearing record. However, regarding the "safety" basis of the appeal--concern for the adequacy of access to the proposed plat--the Appellants offered new information which indicated prixa facie basis for reconsideration. Specifically, the Appellants, in Exhibit No. 25, contend that when this project was first reviewed by the Kent Fire Department the need for a "second access" was raised; and, that the developer's representative assured the Fire Department that there would be a second access in the northwest corner of the development (presumably a westward extension from the northernmost [proposed] 117th Avenue Southeast right-of- way) . In support of this appeal argument, the Appellants cited a December 6, 1995 letter from Fire Chief Angelo which corroborated these assertions. As "a matter of the basic level of fire and life safety for the future citizens who will live there," Chief Angelo requested a second access be provided somewhere on the west side of the plat "as we were first led to believe it would be." Chief Angelo's letter is incorporated in the hearing record as Attachment A of Exhibit No. 25. Regarding this issue, the following findings are relevant: A. RCW 58.17.033(1) requires that: A proposed subdivision of land . . . shall be considered under the subdivision . . . and zoning or other land use control ordinances in effect on the land at the time a fully completed application for preliminary plat approval of the subdivision . . . has been submitted to the appropriate County, City or Town official. Stonegate Knolls - L95P0002 Page 7 In other words, the Applicant has a vested right in having its application reviewed pursuant to the rules in effect at the time of application--in this case, January 19, 1995. The law makes no exception for change in jurisdiction. B. King County Road Standards (KCRS 1983) , Section 2.20, govern the "access and circulation requirements" for subdivision applications received by King County. Ordinance No. 11187; KCC 14.42. KCRS Section 2.20 requires that: In order to provide a second access to a residential subdivision . . . no residential street shall serve more than one hundred lots or dwelling units, unless the street is connected in at least two locations with another street that functions at a level consistent with Sections 2.02 and 2.03.' That is, KCRS 2.20 sets the threshold beyond which two access streets are required: 100 residential units. In the case of Stonegate Knolls only 75 lots are proposed. Thus, the controls in effect regarding access and circulation (KCRS 2.20) at the time of application (January 19, 1995) did not--and do not-- require a second access for a seventy-five lot residential subdivision. C. In response to the reopened hearing record, Chief Angelo commented that: It would be most preferable to have open direct access off of 116th Avenue Southeast. This would provide an expeditious route from the closest fire station which is at 24611 - 116th Avenue Southeast. At a minimum a secondary or emergency access path is needed. This would allow a secondary way out of the development in the event that multiple units were at the scene of an incident and it was necessary for any units to attend to another incident. Chief Angelo also notes that the first emergency unit will probably be a forty foot long truck. The fact that emergency trucks may be that long forms the basis for the KCRS requiring that cul-de-sac turn around bulbs must be at least 100 foot diameter. D. Kent City Engineer Gary Gill, in a January 9, 1996 letter to Mayor Jim white, included in this hearing record as Attachment B of Exhibit No. 28, observes that in January 1995, the City required Applicant Centex Real Estate Corporation to execute a "petition for annexation agreement and declaration of covenant" as a condition of receiving certificates of water and sewer availability. At that time the City of Kent Engineer- ing Division submitted review comments on the KCRS Sections 2.02 and 2.03 establish standards for the design and development of arterial and residential access streets. ' 116th Avenue Southeast is located approximately 588 feet west from the subject property, and approximately 648 feet from the nearest proposed street within the subject property. See Exhibit No. 7--Examiner. Stonegate Knolls - L95P0002 Page 8 development proposal. City Engineer Gill further observes: At the time that the agreements were prepared and comments were provided to King County, the draft plans for Stonegate Knolls plat indicated that access was being provided to the plat from both 120th Avenue Southeast and 116th Avenue South- east. The primary access to the new plat was from 120th Avenue Southeast onto Southeast 244th Street. A secondary access was provided from 116th Avenue Southeast via the driveway entrance to the First Christian Church. . . . . . Lack of dual access to the proposed plat presents safety concerns that the City typically addresses in its subdivision standards. The City subdivision standards do not allow any dead-end cul-de-sac streets to exist that exceed 600 feet in length. The present configuration of the Stonegate Knolls plat leaves a section of roadway in excess of 1000 feet in length without an alternative means of access. The Engineering Division would not have issued certificates of water and sewer availability for the proposed plat with this roadway configuration; especially knowing that the subject property would be in the City of Rent in 1996. We would. prefer that Southeast 244th Street be extended through to 116th Avenue Southeast and constructed to urban neighborhood collector standards. E. Larry J. Smith, Attorney representing the Applicant, comments (in part) : Kevin Simmons of Centex spoke to the Fire Chief about the possibility of installing an emergency "breakaway" gate at the turn around bulb at the terminus of 117th Avenue Southeast, and confirmed that such a gate would allow a second access to and from the subdivision by emergency vehicles. Exhibit No. 29. Considering such a solution, Chief Angelo comments: In all likelihood a barricaded emergency access would not be our most common means of initial response. However given the width of the proposed streets, the distance to turnarounds, and likely traffic congestion, the emergency access would at least provide us with a secondary means to respond to this development, and to meet the overall community public safety needs. Exhibit No. 37. Thus, it would appear that there is agreement regarding this "fall back" or alternative solution between the Fire Chief and the Applicant, if not the City Engineer. F. KCRS Section 2.08, similar to City of Kent engineering standards, requires that a permanent cul-de-sac shall not be.longer than 600 feet. It further notes: Proposed exceptions to this rule will be considered by the engineer based on pertinent traffic planning factors such as topography, sensitive areas and existing development. Stonegate Knolls - L95P0002 Page 9 Typically, county engineers consider whether abutting property can be developed in a manner which will provide the needed street extension as a "pertinent traffic planning factor". When such circumstances exist, responsible review engineers commonly will accept a "temporary" cul-de-sac street which exceeds 600 feet. In fact KCRS Section 2.08.D provides for such a situation: When a street temporarily terminated at a property boundary serves more than six lots, or is longer than 150 feet, a temporary bulb shall be constructed near the plat boundary. (Emphasis added.) 7. Except as noted above, the facts and analysis contained in the Land Use Services Division Preliminary Report, dated November 28, 1995, are correct and are incorporated here by reference. A copy of the Land Use Services Division report will be attached to those copies of the examiner's report which are submitted to the King County Council. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The drainage concerns raised by neighboring property owners and by the City Engineer are important and valid concerns. For this reason it is essential that recommended condition Nos. 7A through C and 8A through D (as amended by the Examiner on page 11 of this Report and Recommendation) should be adopted, implemented, and rigorously enforced. As recommended below, the release rates for the retention/detention facilities shall meet the requirements of the City of Kent construction standards or the King County Surface Water Design Manual, whichever is more restrictive. In addition, a downstream capacity analysis is recommended to be required for submittal at the engineering plan review stage in order to address the eighteen inch cross culvert at 116th Avenue Southeast and Southeast 244th Street. As revised, recommended condition 8A will require more restrictive release rates, culvert upsizing, or culvert cleaning, as necessary to satisfy applicable drainage standards. 2. Because the Applicant does not own or control the property located west of the proposed plat, a solution amenable to all interested persons is difficult to achieve. Momentarily putting aside the concerns expressed by City Engineer Gill and Chief Angelo, Attorney Smith argues that, "the neighbors who own property abutting the right-of-way are simply looking for a way to get this street put in at another's expense." Exhibit No. 29. This is difficult to rebut, even if one accepts the contention of Appellant Eckfeldt, et al, that "we the Appellants firmly believe that the extension of 244th to 166th is the best solution to all the issues related to safety, drainageways, and street/roads." It can not be ignored that such a street extension would provide immense windfall benefit to the future development interests of Appellants Bushaw/Noland/Martin, who own the large undeveloped properties which would be served by the sought after westerly extension of Southeast 244th Street. Considering the right of the Applicant to have its subdivision proposal reviewed pursuant to the rules in effect at the time of 'application (finding No. 7.A, above) balanced with the concerns of Engineer Gill and Chief Angelo, the "crash gate" solution at the terminus of (proposed) 117th Avenue Southeast appears to be the best Stonegate Knolls - L95P0002 Page 10 opportunity to reconcile the conflicting points of view in this case. The recommendation to the Kent City Council, set forth below, provides for that solution. 3. These conclusions and the following recommendations do not address whether an agreement between the City and the Applicant (regarding the petition for annexation and the certificates of water and sewer availability; see finding No. 7, above) has been broken. First, it is observed that the City has not withdrawn the certificates of availability. Second, and more important, review of this issue between the City and the Applicant exceeds the jurisdiction/authority of this Examiner. 4. Based upon the whole record, and according substantial weight to the determination of environmental significance made by the Environmental Division, it is concluded that approval of this subdivision as recommended below would not constitute a major action significantly affecting the quality of the environment. All evidence of environmental impact relating to the proposed action and reasonable alternatives to the proposed action have been included in the review and consideration of this action. 5. If approved subject to the conditions recommended below, the proposed subdivision will comply with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision and Zoning Codes, and other official land use controls and policies of King County. 6. If approved subject to the conditions recommended below, this proposed subdivision will make appropriate provision for the public health, safety and general welfare and for drainage ways, streets, other public ways, water supply, and sanitary wastes; and it will serve the public use and interest. 7. The conditions recommended in the Land Use Services Division's Preliminary Report as amended below are in the public interest and are reasonable requirements. RECOMMENDATION: GRANT preliminary approval to the proposed plat of STONEGATE KNOLLS, as described in the preliminary plat drawing dated October 13, 1995, contained in this hearing record as Exhibit No. 7, subject to the conditions of final plat approval stated on pages 8 through 13 of the Department of Development and Environmental Services Preliminary Report to the King County Hearing Examiner dated November 28, 1995 (Exhibit No. 2) , EXCEPT for the following modifications: A.

Zoning: RS-7200-P Acreage: 18.58 Number of Lots: 79 Typical Lot Size: Ranges from approximately 5,500 square feet to 10,000 square feet, with one larger lot at 26,091 square feet. Proposed Use: Single-family detached Sewage Disposal: City of Kent Stater Supply: City of Kent Fire District: King County Fire District r37 School District: Kent School District #415 Application Date: January 19, 1995 C. HISTORY/B.AC?:GROUND: The Subdivision Technical Committee of King County has conducted an on-site examination of the subject property. The Committee has also discussed the proposed development with the applicant to clarify technical details of the application, and to determine the compatibility of this project with applicable King County plans, codes and other official controls regulating this development. PROPOSED PLAT OF STONECATE KNOLLS FILE NO. L95P0002 As a result of preliminary discussions, the applicant presented the Technical Committee with a revised plat on October 13, 1995. The primary modifications to the original proposal include the following: Modification of the intersections of 119th Way SE/SE 244th Street and 119th Court SE/SE 244th Street so that they are now in. alignment. Addition of a temporary turnaround at the northern terminus of 117th Avenue Southeast. • Widening of the "pipestem" portion of Lot 66 from 20 feet to 26 feet in width. (Lot 66 is 26, 091 square feet in size. ) Following the submittal of the proposed plat application in January, 1995, the area within which the subject property is located was approved for annexation to the City of Kent. This annexation takes effect on January 1, 1996. The applicant has elected to have the County continue its review of the subject plat application in the interim. D. THRESHOLD DETERMINATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE: Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) , RCW 43. 21C, . the responsible official of the King County Environmental Division issued a threshold determination of non-significance (DNS) for the proposed development on October 3, 1995. This determination is based on the review of the environmental checklist and other perti- nent documents, resulting in the conclusion that the proposal would not cause probable significant adverse impacts on the environment. Therefore, an environmental impact statement (EIS) was not required prior to proceeding with the review process. Agencies, affected Native American tribes and the public were offered the opportunity to comment on or appeal the determination during a fifteen day appeal period. The appeal period closed on October 16, 1995, and no appeals of the determination were filed. E. AGENCIES CONTACTED: 1. Ring County Natural Resources & Parks Division: No response. _.

King County Conservation District: No response. 14 . METRO: No response. F. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT: 1. Topography: The subject property consists of gently rolling terrain. A topographic break separates the northeast portion of the site from the remainder of the property. The northeast portion declines in elevation to the northeast, while the remainder of the property declines in elevation to the southwest. 2. Soils: Two surface soils are present on this site, per the King County Soil Survey, 1973. AaB - Alderwood gravely, sandy loam; 0-6% slopes. Runoff is slow and the erosion hazard is slight. This soil type has a moderate limitation for low building foundations due to a seasonally high water table, and severe limitations for septic tank filter fields due to very slow permeability in the substratum. AqC - Alderwood gravely, sandy loam; 6-15; slopes. Runoff is slow to medium and the hazard of erosion is moderate. This soil has a moderate limitation for foundations, due to .a seasonally high water table and slope. It has a severe limitation for septic tank filter fields due to very slow permeability in the substratum. 3. Hydrography: The northeastern portion of the site lies within the Soos Creek sub-basin of the Green River drainage basin. The remainder of the property is located in the Black River sub-basin of the Green River drainage basin. A wetland report was prepared for the site by the applicant's consultant, B-twelve Associates, Inc. The report identified three wetlands on the property, which are described as follows: Three (3) wetlands are located on the site, two of which are Class 3 isolated wetlands (see Exhibit C) . The third wetland (Wetland "Black River 1`22b" - see Exhibit D) extends off the site to the south and west and appears to be over 1 acre in size. We have assumed that this wetland is a Class 2 since it appears the off-site por- tion c= the wetland is well over acre in size. This 5,966-square-foot isolated emergent -etlar.d is located in the northeast corner of the site. . . Wetland A is dominated by a patchy mix of emergent hydroghytes such as soft rush (Juncus effusus) , dagger- leaf rush (Juncus ensifolius) , short-awned foxtail (.�io�ecurus genicularus) , velvet grass (icicus lanatus) , creep_ng buttercup (Ranunculus reve:;s) , and Kentucky fescue. Due to the small size, isolated nature, and single wetland class, Wetland A would be considered a Class III wetland according to the King County Zoning Code Chapter 21.54 . PROPOSED PLAT OF STONEGATE KNOLLS FILE NO. L95P0002 Wetland B: This 1,040-square-foot isolated emergent wetland is located in the northeast corner of the site. . . Wetland B is dominated by emergent hydrophytes such as short-awned foxtail (Alopecurus genicularus) , velvet grass (Holcus lanatus) , creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) , and an unidentified sedge (Carex spp.) . Due to the small size, isolated nature, and single wetland class, Wetland B would be considered a Class III wetland according to the King County Zoning Code Chapter 21.54. Wetland C: This emergent wetland extends 675 square feet .onto the southern edge of the site. . . The majority of the off-site wetland is currently used as livestock pasture. Emergent vegetation such as soft rush, velvet grass, and timothy dominate this portion of the wetland. . . Wetland C appears well over 1 acre in size on the off- site areas to the south and west, and borders an inter- mittent stream. Due to the large size (> 1 acre) and hydrologic connec- tion to the intermittent stream off-site, wetland C would be considered a Class II wetland according to the King County Zoning Code Chapter 21.54 . . . Jon Hansen, a senior ecologist on the Land Use Services Division (LUSD) staff, has reviewed the above-noted wetland report. Mr. Hansen concurs with the delineation and classi- fication of the above-described wetlands. Wetland B, noted above, lies on Lot 42 and the 119th Court SE road right-of-way in the proposed plat. Thus, the applicant intends to fill this isolated Class 3 wetland and proposes to enlarge the buffer around Wetland A lving in Tract E, as miti- gation for filling Wetland B. Since KCC 21.54 .26OF allows the filling of isolated Class 3 wetlands, Mr. Hansen has indicated he has no objections to the filling of Wetland B_ Mr. Hansen has also expressed. his support for the proposed enlargement of the Wetland n buffer, as mitigation for the filling of Wetland 5. 4 . Vegetation: The subject property is primarily covered with pasture grasses, and contains some scattered evergreen and deciduous trees, particularly on the northeast and northwest portions of the site. 5. Wildlife: Small birds and animals undoubtedly inhabit this site. Larger species probably visit it on occasion, however, no endangered species are known to exist on the property. The wetland study, noted above, indicated the following with regard to the use of the wetlands by wildlife: Wetlands A and B are of little value to wildlife due to small size, isolated nature and single wetland class. Wetland C appears to be of moderate to high value as wildlife habitat due 1arc- Fi .c a-d �. "- PROPOSED PLAT OF STONEGATE KNOLLS FILE NO. L95P0002 6. Mapped Sensitive Areas: The Sensitive Areas Map Folio indicates on Map No. 5 that the northern part of the eastern margin of the site is designated as an erosion hazard area. However, based on a site investigation, LUSD staff have con- cluded no erosion hazard areas are present on the subject property. The Folio also shows a wetland located in the vicinity of the south boundary of the site, and labels this wetland Black River No. 22b. No other sensitive areas are shown on the site in the Folio. G. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS: The subject property is located in an area near the City of Kent corporate limits (116th Avenue SE) , which is undergoing a transi- tion from rural to suburban residential development. As noted above, due to the approval of a recent annexation, the subject property will be incorporated into the City, effective January 1, 1996. In the vicinity of the site to the south and west, there are a mix of parcel sizes. The parcels generally range from 2 to 5 acres in size, and are developed with single-family residences and some agricultural uses. To the north, the parcels range from 1 to 5 acres, and are devel- oped with single-family residences, a church, and a naturopathic health clinic. To the east are two large parcels, each approximately 40 acres in size, which are undeveloped except for a single-family residence and a few farm buildings. These parcels contain a portion of Clark Lake and a large wetland to the west of the Lake. The subject property itself is developed with a single-family residence on the northwestern portion of the site; a mobile home on the eastern portion of the site; a number of agricultural and other outbuildings on the northwestern and southern portions of the site; and a third, unoccupied residence on the eastern portion which is in disrepair. This third residence and the outbuildings on the southern portion of the property have historical significance, according to the Xing County Historic Preservation Office (see Attachment 8) . The site is listed as Inventory No. 0618 on the King County Historic Resource Inventory, however, the Historic Preservation Office is not recommending that the historic structures be pre- served, because the office has concluded they do not "possess sufficient physical integrity" (Attachment 8) . The Office did recommend, though, that the applicant be required to provide a photographic archival record of the historic structures, before they are demolished (Attachment 8) . H. SUBDIVISION DESIGN FEATURES: 1. Lot Pattern and Density: The applicant is relying on provisions in KCC 21.08.080 to meet the minimum lot size requirements of the RS-7200 zone. This section of the Code allows for the use of lot averaging, lot clustering, and applying area from road right-of-way established by the plat to meet the density requirements of the zone. Preliminary calculations indicate the proposed design is in accord with the density and lot width requirements of the RS-7200 zone. The proposed plat also appears to conform with the density provisions of KCC 21.54.080, concerning sensitive areas. PROPOSED PLAT OF STONEGATE KNOLLS FILE NO. L95P0002 2. Internal Circulation: SE 244th Street, within the plat, will serve as a neighborhood collector street. The other roads within the plat will serve as local access streets. Both SE 244th Street and 117th Avenue SE are stubbed to the west boundary of the site and may be extended further to the west with the development of adjacent properties. It should be noted that under the present circumstances, with the develop- ment of the subject plat, 117th Avenue will connect to a private road which serves the existing residence on proposed Lot 66; an adjacent undeveloped parcel (Tax Lot 2122059164) ; and a nearby church. 3 . Roadway Section: The roads within the subject plat will be improved to the urban standard (curbs, gutters and sidewalks) This includes the development of SE 244th Street to the full- width standard from 120th Avenue SE to 117th Avenue SE, as proposed by the applicant. This full-width improvement will involve the deeding of off-site road right-of-way from an adjacent parcel (Tax Lot 2122059175) . 4 . Other Design Features: It appears, based on the applicant's plat map, that no road improvements are planned for a small portion of SE 244th Street, at the west boundary of the site (the area south of Tract C) . However, the applicant's repre- sentative, Landmark, Inc. , indicated in a phone conversation on November 9, 1995 that the applicant is willing to improve this portion of 244th Street to the half-street standard (Bill Stevens, Landmark, Inc.) . I. TRP.1<SPORTATION PLANS: 1. Transportation Plans: The King County Transportation Plan designates 116th Avenue SE, which lies approximately 230 feet west of the site, as a rinor arterial. The Plan also desig- nates SE 240th Street, which lies approximately 950 feet to the north, as a principal arterial, and SE 246th Street, which lies approximately 620 feet to the south, as a collector arterial. Access to S_ 240th Street and SE 246th Street will be available via 120th Avenue SE, which adjoins the east boundary of the subject property. Access to 116th Avenue SE will be available %"a _10th Avenue SE, SE 240th Street and SE 246th Street. More direct. access to 116th Avenue is expected to be available at soc.e point in the future, when SE 244th Street, .._tcin the subject plat, is extended to the west with the de•:elooment cr •tax Parcels 2122059042 and 2122059050 immedi- ate' west c_ the site. The Non-Xotcrized Transportation Plan and the Regional Trails Plan do not shot: any proposed trails on or adjacent to the subject oreoerty. 2. Subdivision Access: As indicated above, 120th Avenue adjoins the east boundary of the site and thus prevides access to the subject property. One Hundred Twentieth Avenue, in the ,vicinity of the site, is developed with a 22-foot-wide asphalt driving surface; a 2 to 6-foot-wide gravel shoulder on the east side of the roadway; and a 3-foot-wide gravel shoulder on the west side of the roadway. The west side of the roadway is also developed with an open-ditch for stormwater conveyance. This ditch is currently experiencing erosion, north of the subject property. 3 . Traffic Generation: It is expected that. 610 new, vehicle .rips per day will be generated withthe full development of the proposed s•.:bdivision.

L95P0002 vehicles (i.e. , mail delivery, garbage pick-up, school bus) which may currently serve this neighborhood, as well as work trips, shopping, etc. 4 . Adequacy of Arterial Roads: This proposal has been reviewed under the criteria in KCC 14.70, Transportation Concurrency Management; KCC 14.60, Intersection Standards; and KCC 14.75, Mitigation Payment System. a. King County Code 14 .70 - Transportation concurrency Management: The Transportation Concurrency Certificate issued for this project, dated January 20, 1995, indi- cates that transportation improvements or strategies will be in place at the time of development, or that a finan- cial commitment is in place to complete the improvements or strategies within six years, consistent with the pro- visions of RCW 36.70A.070(6) . b. King County Code14.80 - Intersection Standards: The intersection of 120th Avenue SE/SE 240th Street is cur- rently operatinc at Level-of-Service (LOS) "F." Improve- ments to this intersection are planned through the King County Capital Improvement Program, which will bring the intersection up to LOS "A." The agSjcipated "ad date" for the improvements is January, 395 , and the improve- rents are expected to be constructed in the spring or summer of 199?. Since the subject plat is not expected to be completed until 1998, the Department of Public Works has concluded the proposed subdivision complies with the Intersection Standards. C. King County Code 14 .75 - Mitigation Payment System: King County Code 14 .75, Mitigation Payment System (MPS) , re- quires the payment of a traffic impact mitigation fee (MPS fee) and an administration fee for each single family residential lot or unit created. MPS fees are determined by the zone in which a site is located. This site is located in Zone 361, per the MPS Zone Map, which currently requires the payment of an impact fee of $1, 555. 00 per lot. MPS fees may be paid at the time of final plat recording, or deferred until building permits are issued. The amount of the fee, however, will be determined b%. the applicable fee ordinance at the time the fee is ccllected. `_4`._C-e. : . Schools: _-,is propcsal has been reviewed under RCW 58.17. :10 and Czcntp Crd_..ance 10162 ^hoel .-.dequacp) a. School Facilities: The subject subdivision will be served by Martin Sortun Elementary, Sequoia Junior High, and Kent Meridian Senior High, all located within the }tent School District (phone conversation, Gwenn Escher, }tent School District) . b. Schoel Capacity: Pursuant to the requirements of King Coun-v Ordinance 10162, the Kent School Board has adopted capacity figures, which are the basis for determining the , District's ability to accommodate additional students. (These figures are provided in Attachment 9) . The ficures indicate the District has adequate capacity to accommodate the students anticipated to be generated by this proposal. C. School Impact Fees: Ordinance 11569 currently requires that an impact fee of $3, 381.00 per lot be imposed to fund school system improvements to serve new development PROPOSED PLAT OF STONEGATE KNOLLS FILE NO. L95P0002 within the Kent School District. Payment of 50% of the school impact fee in effect when this plat is ready to receive final approval will be required as a condition of recording of the plat, pursuant to the provisions of ordinance 10162, Section 16C. d. School Access: The District indicated in a phone conver- sation on October 3, 1995 that the students from this subdivision will be bussed to Martin Sortun Elementary and to Sequoia Junior High, and will walk to Kent Meri- dian Senior High (Gwenn Escher, Kent School District) . There are three, different routes students would likely use to walk to Kent Meridian Senior High from the subject plat. Information on the characteristics of the pedes- trian facilities along these routes will be provided at the November 28, 1995 public hearing on the subject proposal. 2. Parks and Open Space: The nearest County parks to the site are North Meridian Park, located approximately 3/4 of a mile to the north, and Clark Lake Park, located approximately 1/2 mile to the east. The nearest park within the City of Kent is East Hill Park, which lies approximately 3/4 of a mile west of the site. King County Code Chapter 19.38 requires subdivisions of 10 acres or larger in this zone classification to either pro- vide on-site common open space for a park, or pay a fee to the Parks Division for establishment and maintenance of neighbor- hood parks. With regard to the subject plat, if on-site recreational open space is proposed, KCC 19.38.030 and 19.38.060 require that 42,491 square feet be provided within a recreational open space tract, however, up to 50% of the required area. may, alternatively, be in a sensitive area I eature. KCC 19.38.030 also requires that the on-site recreation space have a slope of not more than 5% when the plat is recorded, and that the recreation space has street frontage along at least 20% of its perimeter. In the subject plat, the applicant has proposed to provide a recreational tract (tot lot) which is 6, 003 square feet in size (Tract D) . This tract currently has a slope of approx- imately 10:, and has a street frontage of less than 20% of its perimeter. Thus, the applicant's proposed recreation space falls short of the site and street frontage recuirements of KCC 19.36. :t may be possible to grade the tract to meet the slope recairements of KCC 19. 36. 3 . Fire Protection: The Certificate of water Availability from the City of Kent indicates that water is presently available to the site in sufficient quantity to satisfy the King County Fire Flow Standards. Prior to final recording of the plat, the *rater service facilities needed to serve the subdivision must be reviewed for consistency with the Fire Flow Standards, and approved by the King County Fire Protection Engineer. K. UTILITIES: 1. Sewage Disposal: The applicant proposes to serve the subject subdivision by means of a public sewer system managed by the City of Kent. A Certificate of Sewer Availability, dated January 5, 1995, indicates the City's capability to serve the proposed development (see Attachment 6) . The Health Depart- nent has recommended preliminary approval of the proposed method of sewage disposal (see Attachment 3) , and LUSD concurs with this recommendation. PROPOSED PLAT OF STONEGATE KNOLLS FILE NO. L95P0002 2. Water Supply: The applicant proposes to serve the subject subdivision with a public water supply and distribution system also managed by the City of Kent. A Certificate of Water Availability, dated January 5, 1995, indicates the City's capability to serve the proposed development (see Attach- ment 5) . The Health Department has recommended preliminary approval of the proposed method of water supply, and LUSD concurs with this recommendation. L. COMPREHENSIVE AND COMMUNITY PLAN: 1. Comprehensive Plan: This proposal is governed by the 1994 Ring County Comprehensive Plan, which includes the subject property in the designated "Urban Growth Area." The proposed subdivision is not in conflict with the policies of the Com- prehensive Plan. 2. Community Puns: The subject subdivision is located in the Soos Creek Community Planning Area. The Soos Creek Plan Land Use Map designates the site "Single Family 1 - 8 units per acre. " The proposed subdivision is consistent with this land use designation and the policies of the Plan. Implementation of the conditions recommended below will assure compliance with the applicable Soos Creek Area Zoning "P" Suffix conditions. M. STATUTES/CODES: The following state statutes and County codes are relevant to the proposed subdivision: King County Surface Water Design Manual 1.2.2 CORE REQUIREMENT €2: OFF-SITE ANALYSIS A proposed project initial submittal shall include an Off-Site Analysis Report that evaluates drainage system problems (ponding water, high/low flows, siltation, erosion, etc. ) upstream, on-site, and downstream of the proposed project.

If it finds that the proposed subdivision and dedication make such appropriate provisions and that the public use and interest will be served, then the legislative body shall approve the proposed subdivision and dedication. . . Ring Count), Road Standards Section 2.06 Private Streets A. While community street requirements are usually best served by public streets, owned and maintained by the County, private streets may be appropriate for some local access streets. Usually these are minor access streets, either residential or commercial. B. Private streets may be approved only when they are: 2. Built to King County Road Standards. . . 4 . Not obstructing, or part of, the present or future public neighborhood circulation plan. . . 7. Designed to serve a maximum potential of 16 single- family dwelling units .when the entire length of the private road system to the nearest public road is considered. The maximum potential is the number of dwelling units that can possibly be served by the road when physical barriers, toning, or other legal constraints are considered. . . N. LNA.Lvs?S: The Subdivision Technical Committee has identified the following issues involved in the preliminary review of this proposal. Dpwnszrear F2oodirc As noted _nAttac^meat S to this report, the City of Rent has identified an cx: st:ng, flooding problem downstream from the site, between 10 th Aven,_e SE and 116th Avenue Southeast. As a result of -he floodino _ rot_,m, the City has requcs-ed that the portion of -ae s-orr..wa-er drainage system for tt:c cocsc,� pla- which will contribute drainage to the flooding area (Basins B and C of the plat) be required to comply with the Rent Construction Standards in order to assure the flooding will not be exacerbated. Since the applicant has agreed to design the stormwater detention facilities for Basins B and C so "at —Rey ,.ill mec- either the requirements of the Fing County Surface Water DesiGn "anual (RCSWDM) or the Rent Construction Standards, whichever is more restrictive (see paces 2 and 5, Level 3 Drainage Analysis) , the Engineering Review Unit of LUSD is satisfied that downstream flooding from Basins B and C will net be made worse, as prescribed by Core Requirement r"2 of RCSwDM. Traffic Using 117th Avenue SE .As was noted in Section H-2 above, the north end of 117th Avenue within the proposed subdivision will intersect an existing private road, which serves two nearby properties and an existing residence on the northwest portion of the site. Since traffic from the plat, if unrestricted, would likely use this private road to gain access to 11Gth Avenue SE, LUSD has determined a barricade should be placed near the terminus of 117th :,Venue. The barricade wi3l PROPOSED PLAT OF STONEGATE KNOLLS FILE NO. L95P0002 which would require an improved, public road at this location, and that "appropriate provisions are made. . .for the public health, safety, and general welfare. . .for. . .streets," as required by RCW 58.17.110. O. CONCLUSIONS: The subject subdivision will comply with the goals and objectives of the King County Comprehensive Plan, the requirements of the Subdivision and Zoning Codes, and other official land use controls of King County, if the conditions recommended below are implemented. P. RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that the subject subdivision, revised and received October 13, 1995, be granted preliminary approval subject to the following conditions of final approval: 1. Compliance with all platting provisions of Title 19 of the King County Code. 2. All persons having an ownership interest in the subject property shall sign on the face of the final plat a dedication which includes the language set forth in King County Council Motion No. 5952. 3. The area and dimensions of all lots shall meet the minimum requirements of the RS-7200 zone classification or shall be as shown on the face of the approved preliminary plat, whichever is larger. Minor revisions to the plat which do not result in substantial changes may be approved at the discretion of the Land Use Services Division. 4. The applicant must obtain final approval from the King County Health Department. 5. All construction and upgrading of public and private roads shall be done in accordance with the King County Road Standards established and adopted by Ordinance No. 11187. 6. The applicant must obtain the approval of the King County Fire Protection Engineer and demonstrate compliance with the fire hydrant, Water main, and fire flow standards of Chapter 17.08 of the King County Code. 7. Final plat approval shall require full compliance with the drainage provisions set forth in King County Code 9. 04 , and the storm drainage requirements and guidelines as established by the Surface Water Management Division. Compliance may result in reducing the number and/or location of lots as shown on the preliminary approved plat. The following conditions represent portions of the Code. a. Drainage plans and analysis shall meet the requirements of the 1990 King County Surface Water Desian Manual (KCSWD":) , and the November, 1992 and the November, 1994 updates, unless otherwise provided in Condition 8 below.

As you know, ,he City expects ,o annex this area near ;he end c' :his year. I have discussed ,his project wi,h several other members of the City staff because ,his area will soon :)e within ,he City limits, and together we have the following concerns ab u, this project: 1. The preliminary downstream analysis does no, extend far enough in this particular case. Drai^age Basin C for this project is considered to be the headwaters of Uppe: Garrison Creek (sometimes called the Benson Fork), which has documented flooding problems between 116,h Avenue SE and 103th Avenue SE. This flooding problem was particularly severe during the late 1990 and early 1991 storms. In add,-Jon, many of the adjacent property owners within the City of Ken: have comp!a net about the increase in scorn,:eater flows across ,heir pro.^,ties in the pas: ,ew years which have occurrec because of the recent deveiopmen: of cc,azent properties. Tne City has plans ;or Upper Garrison Creek Conveyance Improve •ner;s, Phase 2, v;nich shcuic chmina:e ,ne flooding problems discussed above, but ,hese imu nvcr-.,en;a •:::!! c�'•, w-ork as desioned prrovidinc new cevelopmen;s arc rec,..ircd _. . r.•.-.n� %ete'. .. v0-:,. ..]S a'.;'. .. =.'SC .. e5 as S::-)cards. I request th;; ,he cone ;io.^.s of luelim:7.ary plat .,.. . ::.!::... epliirCmen,S that ,he S;-W ..1: 10 15:• :cr sys,c'n fo: Arai.^..nc E. .: C %%-ii! mec: / of 3 2. In adc.:ion to these documcn:ed flooding problems. the stormwatcr flov:s from Drainage Basin C for this project also pass through identified wetlands located to the east and west of the existing terminus of 112th Avenue SE- The City plans to improve and enhance some of these wetlands as part of the Upper Garrison Creek Conveyance Improvements mentioned above. We request that the conditions of preliminary plat approval include the requirement that treatment for stormxater from Drainage Basin C meet or exceed the City criteria as contained within the City of Kent Construction Standards. 3. While I recognize ,hat this proposed Plat is entirely within the County, this project again lies within our proposed Meridian Annexation, and will undoubted be annexed in the very near future. The City of Kent has adopted a Wetlands Management Code which has as it's primary goal no net loss of wetlands. While the City has no objection pei se to the proposed filling of the isolated Wetland 8, we request that the conditions of preliminary plat approval include the requirement that wetland mitigation for this filling be consistent with the City's requirements. These requirements would in part require the creation of an additional 0.02 acres of wetland abutli-ig Wetland A. The City also requires fhz; wetlands be protected by the creation of a separate sensitive area tract - which could be combined with the proposed stormwaler detention tract if desired. Any stormvvaler will have to have app opnale t ea:ment prior fo discharge into any wetland. 4. In addition to the stormvvater and eater qualify issues which are directly in my purview, other City staff members have also reviewed this proposed plat for other City of Kent requirements and concerns.' One-of the first things that was brought to my attention is that the proposed;streets will not meet City requirements for either right-of-way or width:*The current King County minimum street standards .result in a street width that is so narrow that,on-street parking along both sides of the street may preclude access by emergency vehicles. Under Section 6 of the Kent Consfrud;ion Standards the minimum City street wicth is 36 feet, and the minimum rich;-of-way is 80 fee: for Residential Collectors ISE 244fh Stree;, and 120;h 4venue SE); and the minimum City street width is 32 feet, and the minimum ric`t•of-way is 49 feet for Residential Sfreeis. VVe'recues ha; ,he conditions of preliminary plat approval include the requirement ;ha; the developer \trill have to design and construct These oublic streets to City of Keri-s:anczres. 5. *another concern ;ha; was brought to,my'aate^•;ion relates to ;tic proposed sari;ar; scwers\s;e- for ;his pia:.

Hearing Examiner file 2. Harold Stump letter 3. Ed and Caryl Bangsund letter 4. Shupe Holmberg letter with two attachments (A& B) INTRODUCTION After due consideration of all the evidence presented at public hearing on the date indicated above, and following an unaccompanied personal inspection of the subject property and surrounding area by the Hearing Examiner at a time prior to the public hearing, the following findings, conclusions and recommendation are entered by the Hearing Examiner on this application. FINDINGS 1. The owner of the property proposed for subdivision is Vicky A. Moen of Kent, Washington. The applicants for the subdivision are Baima&Holmberg of Issaquah, Washington. Exhibit 1, Application. The applicants were represented at the public hearing by Mr. Shupe Holmberg. Testimony of jVfr. Holmberg. 2. The property proposed for subdivision is located between South 200'Street and South 202°d Street, west of 96'Avenue SE. Exhibit 1, Staff Report. 3. The size of the property is 4.23 acres. The applicant proposes sixteen single family lots with the smallest lot of 6,9560 square feet. The applicant submitted a revised site plan dated received on April 16, 1996, that shows all lots in conformance with minimum lot size requirements. Exhibit 4, Site Plan. 4. The property is zoned both R1-7.2, Single Family Residential with a 5,700 square foot minimum lot. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as SF 8, Single Family Residential with six dwelling units per acre. Exhibit 1, Staff Report. 5. Land use around the property proposed for subdivision is single family residential. Exhibit 1, Staff Report. 2 Hearing Examiner Findings and Recommendation Briarmount #SU-96-11 6. The subject property is covered with vegetation and trees of significant size. Stormwater quality and quantity will be impacted by the removal of vegetation and construction of impervious surfaces on the property. Exhibit 1, Staff Report. 7. The site would be accessed off of both S 200' Street and S. 202"d Street by the means of cul-de-sac streets connected with a pedestrian pathway. The subject property is between two residential streets. South 200'Street is classified as a Residential Collector Arterial and has an average daily traffic count of less than 2,000 vehicle trips per day. South 202"1 Street is a Residential Collector and has a daily traffic count of 1,500 vehicle trips. The traffic impacts from the proposed development would affect both streets. The use of cul-de-sac streets prevents traffic from"cutting through"the subdivision to access adjacent properties. Both the surrounding neighbors and the applicant agreed to the construction of cul-de-sac streets as a way to reduce traffic impacts. Access to mass transit is also important to help reduce the number of motor vehicles associated with development of the subject property. There is a Metro bus stop located along 108`h Avenue SE. The applicant has agreed to mitigate traffic impacts associated with the proposed development. Testimony of ILIr. Shupe Holmberg & Amir Fakharzadeh. Exhibit 1, 11itigated Determination of Nonsignificance (ILIDNS). 8. The City of Kent water system and sanitary sewer system can be extended to each lot. Stormwater drainage improvements are necessary to prevent negative impacts to water quality and to ensure no net increase in the rate of flow of stormwater off the site. The citv and applicant have agreed to conditions to address stormwater runoff. Testimony of Linda Phillips; Exhibit 1, MDNS& Recommended Conditions of Approval. 9. The environmental review for this application resulted in a conclusion by the City's Responsible Official that the project has no probable significant adverse impacts on the environment that cannot be mitigated. A final Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) was issued for the proposed subdivision on November 11, 1995, pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act. It was not appealed by the applicant or any citizen. The conditions of mitigation address several areas of environmental concern including traffic impacts, stormwater detention facilities and utilities and streets. Exhibit 1, IVDArS. 10. Public notice of this application was given by posting, publication and mailing. Exhibit 1, Affidavits of Harris and Holden. A letter from Mr. Stump states that there was not adequate time to review the proposal and that they could not attend the public hearing. Exhibit 2. 11. At the public hearing on April 17". the applicant's representative testified that all conditions of approval were acceptable and that the developer would comply with them. Testimonv of 3 Hearing Examiner Findings and Recommendation Briarmount #SU-96-11 Mr. Shupe Holmberg. Also at the public hearing, two letters from concerned citizens were admitted as Exhibits. A letter from Mr. Stump objected to the time given to respond to the proposal. The letter from the Bangsunds expressed concerns about traffic on South 202"d and suggested some mitigation measures be taken along that street as well as with its intersection with 96`h Avenue South. Exhibits 2 & 3. The City responded that a "choker" would be placed on South 202"d toward the boundary of the proposed plat to help reduce the speed of vehicles. In addition, road improvements would be made along the frontage of the plat with South 200'h and South 202"d. Testimony of Kristen Langely. However, because the adjacent property owner has objected to the installation of a sidewalk along the intersection of South 202"d with 96"Avenue SE, the pedestrian walkway will end at the southeast corner of the plat. Testimony of Doug Smith. CONCLUSIONS 1.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS A.. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPAL Environmental Assessment A SEPA mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance was issued for this proposed subdivision on November 11, 1995 (#ENV-95-60). B. Sianificant Physical Features Topography and Vegetation - The site slopes slightly from east to west. The south section of the property slopes approximately 11%. The degree of slope gradually decreases in the north section to approximately 7 %. The site is vegetated with typical residential landscape plants, and grass and other meadow plants. There are significant trees on the property. Water - Stormwater quantity and water quality will be impacted by the removal of vegetation, land contouring, and construction of impervious surfaces on the subject property. A stormwater management system is required to avoid water contamination and erosion of the soil. C. Sienificant Social Features 1. Street System The subject property is located between South 200th street, a Residential Collector Arterial, which has a 60 foot wide public right-of-way and existing paving of 22 feet; and South 202nd Street, a Residential Collector Street. which has a 30 foot right-of-way, and is classified Residential Collector street. Both streets are paved with asphalt. The average daily traffic count on S. 200th Street is 2000 vehicle trips per day, and on S. 202nd Street is 1500 vehicle trips per day. The proposed development will cause incremental, but cumulatively significant additional impacts for the regional and local transportation systems. Additional traffic congestion will occur at the following intersections: 3 Staff Report Briarmount #SU-96-11 South 202nd Street at 97th Avenue South 92nd Avenue South at South 202nd Street 96th Avenue South at South 208th Street Metro transit service is provided along 108th Avenue SE. 2. Water Svstem The subject property is served by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer district. Water line extensions and hook ups are necessary for all proposed lots. 3. Sanitary Sewer System Extension of the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District sanitary sewer system is necessary to serve all lots in the proposed development. 4. Stormwater Svstem The addition of the proposed sixteen single family homes to this site will cause considerable storm water impacts. In accordance with the conditions of#ENV 95-60, a downstream analysis for capacity and erosion potential is required. On-site detention and potential off-site downstream stormwater system improvements are required to mitigate all identified impacts. 5. LIDs There are no existing Local Improvement Districts related to this proposal. III. CONSULTED DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES The following departments and agencies were advised of this application: Director of Operations City Attorney Director of Public Works Chief of Police Director of Parks and Recreation Fire Chief Building Official City Clerk Kent School District King County Parks, Planning and Resource Department 4 Staff Report Briarmount #S U-96-11 US West Communications Puget Sound Power and Light Seattle-King County Health Department Washington Natural Gas In addition to the above, all persons owning property which lies within 300 feet of the site were notified of the application and of the public hearing. Staff comments and correspondence have been incorporated in the staff report where applicable. IV. PLANNING DEPARTMENT REVIEW A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The City of Kent adopted a revised Comprehensive Land Use Plan in April, 1995. The 1995 plan was prepared under the provisions of the Washington State Growth Management Act. The Comprehensive Plan, through its goals and policies, presents a clear expression of the City's vision of growth for citizens, the development community, and public agencies. The plan consists of two components: (1) a statement of goals, objectives and policies which expresses community intentions and aspirations, and (2) a map which designates the general location and density of land uses. 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, and business representatives may refer to the plan as a statement of the City's intentions concerning future development. 1. As stated in I.E., above the subject property is designated on the Comprehensive Plan land use map as SF-6, Single Family Residential, six units per acre maximum residential density. 2. Land Use Element The Land Use Element provides the framework for the proposed general distribution and location of residential and other land uses within the planning area. Goals and policies relevant to the proposed plat include: Goal LU-1: Designate an urban growth area and Potential Annexation Area (PAA) which will define the City's planning area and projected city limits for the next 20 years. 5 Staff Report Briarmount #S U-96-11 Policy LU 1.1: Provide enough land in the City's urban growth area to accommodate the level of household growth projected to occur in the next 20 years. Goal LU-8: The City of Kent adopts a 20 year housing target of 7500 new dwelling units within the existing City limits. Coordinate with King County through an interlocal agreement on housing targets in the unincorporated area within Kent's Potential Annexation Area. Policy LU8-1: Provide in the land use plan adequate land and densities to accommodate both city and county targets within the Potential Annexation Area. Average net residential densities throughout the PAA should be at least four units per acre in order to adequately support urban services. 3. Housing Capital Facilities and Economic Elements The Housing, Capital Facilities, and Economic elements of the Comprehensive Plan also contain goals and policies to guide development of single family housing in the City of Kent. The Plan supports provision of a wide range of housing types and sizes, and encouragement of home ownership. It also supports the location of housing in areas where access to capital facilities and transportation are physically and economically available. Planning Department Comment: The proposed subdivision, as conditioned, and as mitigated by the SEPA Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and the goals and policies of the Kent Comprehensive Plan. 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; 6 Staff Report Briarmount #SU-96-11 that orderly growth, development, and the conservation, protection and proper use of land 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 subdivision, as conditioned, and as mitigated by the SEPA Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance is generally consistent with the City of Kent Subdivision Code requirements. Sufficient right-of-way dedication is required to provide proper vehicle access and circulation; a pedestrian path through the development between South 202nd Street and South 200th Street is required to facilitate access to public transportation and reduce vehicle trips; water, sewer, and stormwater facilities are required to insure that public health, and safety, and general welfare are protected; and a Park and Recreation fee in lieu is required to provide park facilities. C. FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPMENT ON PROPOSED LOTS Development on all lots in the proposed subdivision will be subject to the Zoning Code requirements of Zoning Code Section 15.04.020. Single-family residential districts, in the RI-7.2 zoning district. All proposed lots meet minimum lot size and width requirements. The property slopes east to west and does not require compliance with solar setback regulations. Zoning standards encourage retention of significant trees where feasible when locating roads, utilities, and site improvements. V.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS C- u,2 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE May 22, 1996 PRESENT: Christie Houser Gary Gill Judy Woods Ed White Connie Epperly Laurie Evezich Don Wickstrom Don Walkup - School District Robyn Bartelt Mr. & Mrs. Jim Rust ABSENT: Tim Clark Crosswalks at Neely O'Brien Elementary School Wickstrom stated that the Public Works Dept has received a request for two additional crosswalks at the Neely O'Brien Elementary School in the Lakes area. He said that the work order has been issued to the Maintenance Division and they will install the crosswalks. He also noted that this will be done when weather permits. Wickstrom noted that this was an information item for the Committee. Kent School District - Walkway Improvement Request Wickstrom said the Kent School District has requested various improvements on the road system for meeting their one mile radius. He said in our cursory review, these projects would be about $1,500,000. He noted that where we have Capital Improvement Programs we will try to fit these in where they correspond and we will look at what we can do in terms of our maintenance activities. Wickstrom said that we may have to review our '97 budget where we have allocated money for our sidewalk improvements;basically we are spending that in the downtown area; we have one more year of major work which will be on Gowe Street; after that it is more spot related repair work. He said we may have to do some shuffling on allocating money. Judy Woods asked if there has been any more thought regarding the project that was done sometime ago with respect to separating the sidewalk from the street sides, i.e., a buffer. Wickstrom responded noting that all of our money is concentrated basically on major arterials. At present, we do not have the money to implement a major landscape buffer. He stated that the School Districts improvement requests are more of widening the shoulders. Wickstrom said for new development relating to pedestrian traffic, we have been requiring developers to widen the gravel shoulder which would be less expensive. Don Walkup, Transportation Superintendent for the Kent School District requested a time frame for the construction of these improvements. Walkup noted that their first priority for sidewalks and/or 1 widened and paved shoulders is 100th Ave SE from 23500 block to SE 240th Street. Wickstrom said we have that area scheduled for the Fall, on the east side only. Walkup noted that another critical area is 116th Ave SE from SE 248th St to SE 256th St. Wickstrom said that.this location would take more time to analyze. In response to Judy Woods, Walkup prioritized the School District's request for improvements in seven locations. Wickstrom stated that he will keep the School District informed of the schedule for possibly implementing these improvements. Open Space Future Funding- Public Works Projects Wickstrom stated that the Public Works Dept. has four projects associated with the Open Space Future Funding Program. a) Mill Creek Restoration Site which is the Barnier property located on 76th Ave South. He stated that we are competing regionally for Critical Habitat money. He explained that if the bond issue is approved, it is likely we could be in a position to acquire this property for which the Barnier's are supportive thereof. We are also looking at this site for a stormwater treatment facility for the outfall from the downtown area; b)Mill Creek/Garrison Creek Enhancement Site; this is the 'Little' property behind the Memorial Park; c) Garrison Creek Restoration site which is City owned, east of the freeway, north of S. 218th Street. d) Green/Duwamish Watershed Center; this was part of our water resource interpretive center which would have been located at our Lagoon site; it didn't rate for funding out of the Critical Habitat money but the project is getting support from other cities in the valley and as such, we may receive funding from the partnership monies of the bond issue. Wickstrom noted this was an information item for the Committee. Surplus Vehicles & Equipment Wickstrom referenced a list of vehicles and equipment no longer needed by the City and requested that they be scheduled for auction this year at the next State Auction. Committee unanimously recommended declaring this equipment as surplus and authorize the sale thereof at the next State of Washington auction. No Parking Amendment to City Code Wickstrom referenced four streets requiring No Parking Zones posted; a portion of Lake Fenwick Road, 108th Ave SE, 110th Ave SE and 1st Ave S. Committee unanimously recommended that the City Attorney be directed to amend the City Code to reflect No Parking Zones on the aforementioned streets. Added Item• Drainage on Rust's Property at S. 218th Street Jim Rust stated that he was concerned with the drainage impact of the new road improvement (LID 345)which will front his property. Mr. Rust noted that there is oil being dumped into the ditch from 2 other facilities. Wickstrom said he will have his staff check to see if there is a violation of our water quality standards. However, he stated that if this is private property, we do not maintain private facilities and it is the responsibility of the property owner to do this. He said that we can check to see if they are putting pollutants into the creek. Wickstrom said when the road improvement is in, we will pick up the existing drainage outlets at the Rust's property. Added Item: Railroad Issue Wickstrom explained that the Cities of Kent, Auburn and Tukwila had met regarding Auburn's concerns about the Stampede Pass opening and the new multi-mobile yard that Burlington Northern Railroad wants to build in Auburn. Wickstrom said that we have concerns about Stampede Pass because of the number of trains (potentially 22 trains per day) that will be running thru Kent for which we have no overpasses or under-crossings. He said this will create extensive traffic problems on our east/west corridors. Kent and Auburn are looking at what options exist. When addressing the Railroad, there are federal laws involved in terms of Interstate Commerce wherein they have rights which supersede our authority. Wickstrom stated that our issue is, while we support the project, which will mean more jobs, we need to mitigate the impact on our road system. We are looking at our options and exploring them in a joint effort with Auburn and Tukwila. We feel we need a minimum of four over-crossings; 212th, 228th, James St. and SR516 (Willis Street). Wickstrom stated we have at least eight crossings however, these four are the only ones we could do without destroying the rest of the City because of the extensive work required. He said we are reviewing our options and are looking at ways to mitigate the impacts on our communities. The cities will be meeting in another week to discuss which way to go and we may need Council action on our direction. Judy Woods noted that Council is concerned and, when is the appropriate time to provide support and encouragement? Wickstrom said that Auburn had their Comprehensive Plan decision overturned by the Hearing Board regarding building the intermodal rail facility in Auburn. He said we are writing a letter supporting Auburn's position. Also, we now have the Concurrency issue to address; this could block off our major east/west corridors. He noted that another issue here is WSDOT's proposal for a high-speed rail from Vancouver to Eugene; in the federal picture this is one of the five corridors that they have approved for a high-speed rail system. Also, there is the issue of RTA's commuter rail. Wickstrom stated the County needs to make a determination on the Environmental Impact Statement. Laurie Evezich noted that the City Attorney has suggested that Council submit a carefully worded Resolution in support of the City of Auburn at it's next Council meeting (June 4th) which would be an appropriate way of demonstrating support without antagonizing the relationship between the City and the Railroad. Evezich suggested that included in the letter supporting Auburn's position, we include Council's support for mitigation from those impacts. Committee concurred. Meeting adjourned: 4:30 P.M. 3
