_ MEMORANDUM
May 7, 1996 Jim White, Mayor
MEMO TO: MAYOR JIM WHITE AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: JAMES P. HARRIS, PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION ON AN APPLICATION TO
VACATE A PORTION OF S.E. 266TH STREET - (STV-96-2)
1. Name of Applicant
George B. Webb, Jr.
26524 128th Avenue S.E.
Kent, WA 98031
II. Reason for Reauesting Vacation
The applicant states, "This vacation is desired so that the 30 feet of right-of-way
adjacent to the Webb's property (No. 282205-9024) may be returned to the Webb's to
provide a buffer area between the Webb house and the south property line that can be
used for gardening and other uses. This will move the property line 30 feet south to
the approximate location of an existing fence.
Another benefit of this vacation is that the future S.E. 266th St. would no longer have
to cross the Meridian Meadows Wetlands and Stormwater Storage Pond, nor the
Salmonoid stream that flows into it. This would avoid disturbing the wetlands and
stream with future road construction.
Further, the traffic volume in the Meridian Meadows subdivision area (127th Ave. S.E.-
--128th Ave. S.E.) does not support the need for a future road connection between
128th Ave. S.E. and 132nd Ave. S.E. Access to properties north of the wetlands and
S.E. 266th St. is from 128th Ave. S.E. and S.E. 265th St. If required to provide access
to undeveloped property east of the wetland and stream, S.E. 265th St. could still be
extended west from 132nd Ave. S.E.
The vacation is for the road right-of-way, however, the City of Kent will maintain an
easement through the above vacated property for anv future utility access such as sewer,
water, natural gas, or underground electricity, telephone or cable."
III. Staff Recommendation
After reviewing comments from the following departments and agencies:

Street Vacation #STV-96-2
May 7, 1996

Puget Power
U.S. West
and conducting our own review, the Planning Department recommends that the request
to vacate a portion of S.E. 266th Street as mentioned in Resolution 1463 and shown on
the accompanying map, be DENIED for the following reasons:
1. The Public Works Department states:
The proposed Street Vacation lies within the recent Meridian Annexation area.
No road improvements exist within said right-of-way. A significant portion of
the right-of-way is wetland and a branch of Soosette Creek crosses it. The
right-of-way has the potential of providing a linkage between 124th Ave SE &
132nd Ave SE in an area where none exists for a mile stretch (SE 256th St to
SE 272nd St). While it is unlikely that a roadway would ever be built, it is too
premature to negate such an option. More importantly however is the fact that
a County regional detention pond exists to the south of said right-of-way and a
City park (future) lies to the northwest corner thereof making the right-of-way
a nice tie between two potentially compatible uses. While it is recognized that
to actually create such a tie, the property lying southerly of the right-of-way
would need to be acquired. Said property is presently used in conjunction with
the County's detention system and in fact the County has constructed
improvements thereon including fencing off the wetland. As such. the
ownership of the property needs to be resolved...
Because of the above factors, the Public Works Department recommends against
vacating said street right-of-way."
2. The Parks Department states:
"The Parks Department is opposed to the proposed street vacation because it will
block off access to our new park property from the residents living on 128th
Ave. SE and further west. If the vacation is to be approved, Kent needs to
maintain a recreation easement through the vacated property for a pedestrian
trail."

TO: Mayor White and City Council
FROM: Don Wickstrom,Director of Public Works
RE: LID 347 - Meeker Street/Russell Road Traffic Signal
May 7, 1996 has been set for the formation hearing for the above referenced project.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The City has proposed the installation of a traffic signal at the above referenced intersection. With the
increasing traffic levels at this intersection, ingress and egress for Russell Road is becoming difficult and
is an increasing traffic safety concern as demonstrated by various traffic accidents. Also the City has
received numerous complaints regarding the need for a signal. Therefore, the City is pursuing the
installation of a traffic signal and has budgeted a portion of the funds for same.
To finance the balance of the project costs, the City is pursuing the formation of a Local Improvement
District (LID).
It should be noted that the City anticipated the eventual need for this signal years ago and developers in the
area have been required to sign LID participation covenants with the first one executed in 1985 when the
Riverwood Apartments applied for building permits.
A property owner meeting was held on March 20, 1996. The two owners in attendance supported the need
for the project. The Resolution of Intent was approved by City Council on April 16, 1996 which set the
hearing date for May 7, 1996.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The project consists of the installation of a fully actuated 8-phase traffic signal with pedestrian detection and
crossing indications at the intersection of Russell Road and West Meeker Street.
In addition, a southbound to westbound right turn lane will be installed. Also the intersection approach
profile on the north side will be modified to improve sight distance to the east.
PROJECT COST
The total estimated cost for the proposed project including construction, engineering, survey, construction.
inspection. LID bonding and associated costs is S238.000.
LID 347
T/M V 96134 1
The City is proposing to fund $138,000 of the project total. The balance of$100,000 shall be funded by the
LID. Also, City property will be assessed $32,357.26.
A project budget(Fund#R23) covering the City costs has been established.
ASSESSMENT METHOD
An LID assessment boundary was established which includes properties which utilize the Meeker Street and
Russell Road intersection for ingress and egress. The total LID cost is distributed over these properties
based on square footage. For properties with access from another direction, an adjustment in the square
footage assessed was made. South of Meeker, the assessments extend to the end of Russell Road at the
river. To the north, the assessment limit is halfway to James Street, the next east/west street. See the
attached assessment map which shows the assessed areas.
Half of the LID assessment was distributed to the properties south of the intersection and the other half to
the north.
Also in distributing the assessments, the square footage received a weighting factor based on the zoning to
compensate for different rates of traffic generation anticipated for each zone. The benefit from a traffic
signal is directly related to the use of the signal which can be determined from trip generation factors.
Therefore, each property's share of the cost was determined by multiplying the square footage by a traffic
generation weighting factor. The signal participation covenants also contain language indicating that the
costs would be distributed based on anticipated trips.
The factors are as follows:
Commercial 22
Medium Density Residential 2.55
Mobile Home Park 1
Residential/Agricultural 0.9
When this LID was originally estimated the distribution was strictly by square foot. Adding the traffic
weighting factor lowered the City's assessment and raised the other assessments. In an effort to keep the
privately owned property at the same LID total, the City property assessment remained as originally
calculated and the original private property assessment was redistributed in accordance with the weighting
factors. `
One exception was made. Parcel 2 which is zoned General Commercial contains a motel. That portion of
the property was treated as Medium Density Residential for the weighting factor.
LID APPROVAL
To approve an LID, property owners with combined LID assessments representing 40 percent of the total
assessment amount must support the LID. The City properties do not have a say in the LID formation.
therefore the City properties are deleted for the percentage calculation. In this case,the estimated 40 percent
assessment figure is approximately 527,057.
The City has determined that owners with a combined 93.77 percent of the total assessment are at this tL..e
obligated to participate in this signal improvement LID via executed no-protest covenants. The final

decision of whether or not to form the LID however will be made by the City Council following the public
hearing. See the attachment for a summary of existing covenants.
PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENT
Upon Council passing, the ordinance confirming the final assessment roll (after completion of the
construction), there is a 30-day period in which any portion or all of the assessment can be paid without
interest charges. After the 30-day period, the balance is paid over a ten year period wherein each year's
payment is 1/10th of the principal plus interest on the unpaid balance. The interest will be what the market
dictates. ^'r
EASEMENT AND RIGHT-OF-ACQUISITION
The construction of this signal improvement project will require no property acquisition.
ENVIRONMENTAL
In accordance with SEPA rules, this project is exempt from the SEPA process.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
Should the proposed LID be approved,the project will go out for bids immediately as the design work has
been completed. Construction will take place this summer.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS

TO: Public Works Committee
FROM: Don WickstroXi
RE: Meeker St/Russell Rd. Traffic Signal
Included in the adopted Capital Facilities Plan was the installation of the above
referenced signal. Partial funding of this signal project was included in the '96
budget. The balance of the needed funds was anticipated to be via an L.I.D. To date
we have held an informal meeting with the potential L.I.D. participants (see
correspondence) and it appears there is adequate support (independent of the L.I.D.
Participatory Agreement) to proceed with the formation of the L.I.D.
There was only one concern raised at the meeting and it was not against the project
or support for same. It was related to the assessment distribution as it pertains to the
land use. As a result, we re-evaluated the assessment distribution and advised the
participants of the modifications. At this point, we are ready to proceed with the
formation of the L.I.D. for which the first step is passage of a Resolution setting a
public hearing date on the formation of the L.I.D.
ACTION: Adoption of the Resolution setting a public hearing date on the
formation of the L.I.D.
April '), 1996
RE: PROPOSED LID 347: MEEKER STREET/RUSSELL ROAD TRAFFIC SIGNAL
Dear Property Owner:
A property owner meeting was held on March 20, 1996 to discuss the proposed project and LID
formation. I would like to thank those of you who attended.
One particular property owner voiced disapproval of the assessment distribution method used. He
felt that in addition to the size of the property, the traffic generation potential for the land use or
zoning be factored in.
Subsequent to the meeting,the Engineering staff reviewed the distribution method and agreed that
the traffic factor should be considered. Land uses that create more traffic for the same size of
property should participate at a higher rate since that property will use the signal to a greater extent
and receive more benefit.
The signal participation covenants were also reviewed. The covenants contained language indicating
that the costs would be distributed based on trips, (traffic generated by the property). Therefore,the
assessments have been revised as shown on the attachment.
In revising the assessments typical trip generation factors for the various land uses were determined
and a weighing factor was determined to be used in the distribution formula. These factors are as
follows:
Commercial 22
Medium Density Residential 2.55
Mobile Home Park 1
Residential/Agricultural 0.9
LID 3471rMV9610S
April 3, 1996
The square footage ol'the property is multiplied by the weighing factor before proportioning the LID
costs.
Several other factors entered into the cost distribution. Since this revised method would lower the City share
and since the City has agreed to and budgeted for the original assessment, the city's assessment remained
the same. Only privately owned properties were included in the revised assessments.
Also, in reviewing previous signal LID's the cost is usually split with 50% going to each side of the
intersection. In this case 50% (S33,821.77) would go to properties north of_Meeker and 50% to the
properties south of Meeker.
One last consideration was made on Parcel 4 which is a commercial property but has a hotel on the north
end. This portion of the property was treated as multiple family, medium density residential. The tentative
revised project schedule is as follows:

RE: PROPOSED LID 347: MEEKER STREET/RUSSELL ROAD TRAFFIC SIGNAL
Dear Property Owner:
The City has proposed the installation of a traffic signal at the above referenced intersection. With
the.increasing traffic levels at this intersection, ingress and egress for Russell Road is becoming
difficult and is an increasing traffic safety concern as demonstrated by various traffic accidents. Also
the City has received numerous complaints regarding the need for a signal. Therefore, the City is
pursuing the installation of a traffic signal and has budgeted a portion of the funds for same.
To finance the balance of the project costs, the City is pursuing the formation of a Local
Improvement District (LID).
This letter explains the LID process,provides details regarding the proposed project and notifies you
of a property owner meeting to discuss the proposal.
PROPERTY OWNER MEETING
An informal property owner meeting will be held on March 20, 1996 to discuss the proposed
LID. This meeting will be held at 2:00 pm in Conference Room 93 at the City of Kent
Engineering Office located in the Centennial Center, 400 West Gowe Street, Second Floor.
Proposed Improvements
The project consists of the installation of a fully actuated S-phase traffic signal with pedestrian
detection and crossing indications at the intersection of Russell Road and West Meeker Street.
In addition, a southbound to westbound right turn lane will be installed. Also the intersection
approach profile on the north side will be modified to improve sight distance to the east.
Local Improvement District Financing
This project is proposed to be funded partially by the Local Improvements District method. The City
will lure a contractor to construct the project, will sell LID bonds to initial]), finance the project and
will then assess the properties involved to pay off the bonds.
The assessments are usually paid in yearly installments (1/]Oth of the principal plus interest on the unpaid
balance) over a ten-y6ar period, or they can be paid in full with one payment. The interest rate is deterniined
by the market at the time the LID bonds are sold to the public.
Basic LID Formation Steps
The LID formation process consists of the following steps:
1. Identification of project.
2. City prepared estimate and preliminary assessments.
3. Property owner meeting with Engineering Department Staff.
4. Proposal goes before the Public Works Committee for approval.
5. City Council passes Resolution of Intent.
6. Public Hearing date set.
7. Public Hearing and assessment notices mailed.
8. Public Hearing.
9. Protest received.
10. Final approval of Ordinance (if insufficient protests are received and City Council decides to approve
LID formation).
11. Construction bids received.
12. Final assessment hearing.
13. Construction of project.
14. Payment of assessments begin.
If approved,the project will be advertised for bids and constructed this summer. Prior to bid award, a final
assessment hearing is held and LID bonds are sold. Your first yearly payment will be due one vear from
that time.
Project Cost
The total estimated cost for the proposed project including construction, engineering, survey, construction
inspection, LID bonding and associated costs is $238,000.
The City is proposing to fund $138,000 of the project total. The balance of$106,000 shall be funded by the
LID. Also, City property will be assessed $32,357.
Assessment Method
An LID assessment boundary was established which includes properties which utilize the Meeker Street and
Russell Road intersection for ingress and egress. The total LID cost is distributed over these properties
based on square footage. For properties with access from another direction, an adjustment in the square
footage assessed was made. South of Meeker the assessments extend to the end of Russell Road at the river.
To the north, the assessment limit is halfway to James Street, the next east/west street. See the attached
assessment map which shown the assessed areas.
It should be noted that traffic generated by properties outside of the LID boundary may utilize the signal.
However the numbers of such trips per parcel are small when compared to those within the LID: The small
benefit to other properties, and the area in Qeneral, is more than compensated for by the funding prc 9
by the City. The LID assessments relate to the special benefits received by individual properties.
L' �I
LID An royal
To approve an LID, property owners with combined LID assessments representing 40 percent of the total
assessment total must support the LID The City properties do not have a say in the LID formation, therefore
the City properties are deleted for the percentage calculation. In this case, the estimated 40 percent
assessment figure is approximately $27,057. Enclosed is a map showing the proposed LID assessment
boundary and the assessment numbers assigned to each parcel within the boundary. Also enclosed is a
Preliminary assessment listing for each of the parcels within the LID assessment boundary.
The City has determined that owners with a combined 72.76 percent of the total assessment are at this time
obligated to participate in this signal improvement LID via executed no-protest covenants. The final
decision of whether or not to form the LID, however will be made by the City Council following a public
hearing. See the attachment for a summary of existing covenants.
Final Assessment
Once bids are received, an estimate of the final total project costs is made. With that a final assessment is
calculated and a final assessment hearing is held. At this hearing, You ma assessment based on benefit (increase in roeyour Y y protest the amount of your
ion
project. This requires the submittal of a before
P and after real estate appraisal derivedproperty To have a valid p otest,tthe
appraisal must show that the LID assessment is greater than the benefit provided by the LID.

Your name is shown on the King County tax rolls. If you are no longer the owner of the property,have a
new address, or request that another party be listed,please let me know so the revisions or additions can be
made to our mailing list.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
TO: Mayor White and City Council
FROM: Don Wickstrom, Director of Public Works
RE: LID 345 - South 218th Street Improvements
(East Valley Highway to SR 167)
April 16, 1996 has been set for the confirmation hearing on the final assessment roll for the above referenced
project.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Over the past years there has been substantial interest in devFloping various parcels within this project area.
Unfortunately,this area is served by South 218th Street which is a substandard road, with a deficient reverse
curve. The combination of the substandard roadway width and the too-sharp reverse curves present safety
hazards to both vehicles and pedestrians. Developments occurring within the LID boundary have been
conditioned by the City's SEPA powers to provide improvements to South 218th Street. Currently, those
properties east of the reverse curves are also conditioned to improve the curves, however no such project
has materialized.
As an interim solution, each developer who would have been required to make incremental improvements
to South 218th Street as a condition of their development approval, has instead executed an LID
participation covenant. This interim solution had two major benefits: first, the roadway would not be
improved in a piecemeal manner; and second,when enough owners were obligated by the LID participation
covenants, the City could pursue formation of the LID and then equitably distribute the costs for the
complete roadway improvement to the owners for all of the property which will ultimately benefit in the
roadway improvement instead of only the latest owners to develop.
Numerous developments had chosen this interim solution, until 74.84 percent of the total preliminary LID
assessment for this project would be borne by owners who were obligated to participate in the LID. To
approve an LID, property owners with combined LID assessments representing 40 percent of the total
assessment total must support the LID. It appeared to be a logical and appropriate time to pursue the
formation of this street improvement LID, and the City Engineering Department actively pursued its
formation.
An informal property owner meeting was held originally on October, 18, 1990. Due to wetland concerns,
the project was put on hold until the City's proposed wetland regulations were finalized. These regulations
were finalized and approved by City Council by the passage of Ordinance 3109. The engineering staff
evaluated the impact of wetlands on potential development within the LID in an effort to fairly distribute
LID 345T/MV96106
April 9, 1996
1
the LID assessments. With the revised assessments, the Engineering Department once again pursued V
formation of the LID for the improvement of South 218th Street.
Another property owner meeting was held on March 23, 1994. All the affected property owners were
notified of the meeting and what their revised estimated assessment was. The proposal was submitted to
the Public Works Committee on June 13, 1994 and was deferred until the July 25th meeting. Following
committee approval Resolution No. 1403 was adopted at the September 6, 1994 council meeting and
scheduled October 4, 1994 for the formation public hearing. Subsequently, City Council passed Ordinance
No. 3200 establishing LID 345 and authorized supplementing the LID funding with S167,377.13 from the
Miscellaneous Drainage Improvement fund at the November 1, 1994 meeting.
Since that time,the Engineering Department has prepared the plans, acquired the right-of-way and necessary
permits,has obtained bids and has determined final assessments. Following confirmation of the final roll,
the Engineering Department will recommend award of the contract for construction this summer.
NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT
A. Streets - Currently portions of South 218th Street are less than 24 feet wide (some areas less than 12
feet), and no portion has curb& gutters or sidewalks. Improvements such as additional width, street
lights, curb & gutter, and sidewalk improvements are required to bring the street fully up to current
standards, and to meet both functional and aesthetic requirements. An existing reverse curve will
be improved significantly in order to permit trucks to pass simultaneously; thus allowir^
development of property lying easterly of the reverse curves to continue.
This combination of the substandard roadway width and the too-sharp of reverse curve present a
safety hazard to both vehicles and pedestrians. As a result, the City cannot knowingly issue permits
within the area which increase road use without incurring the associated liability in the case of an
accident.
B. Drainage - Currently there is no formal drainage system in the project area. A few culverts and
ditches are all that can be found. A complete and adequate drainage system for the area is needed
to provide for disposal of storm water. A complete drainage system is planned for the area including
stubs to the adjacent properties for future connections.
C. Utilities -Various properties within the area are not currently hooked up to City water and sanitary
sewer, or are not fully serviced for their highest potential and best use. Prior to widening and
rebuilding the.roadway, these utilities must be extended outside of the roadway section to avoid
future cutting and excavating for these services. Sanitary sewer stubs are currently available to all
parcels. The stubs are being extended from the existing property line to the new property line to
avoid future road cuts. Water services will also be installed.
D. Development Requirements - The above-d--.3cribed needs have been identified for this area. Any
future development in the area will have to address these needs. Commitments to meet these neerlz
are required to obtain building permits and are usually conditions of other development procedu.
as well
LID 345T/MV96106
April 9, 1996
2
This project area contains undeveloped property or under-developed property. Owners of these
properties will be faced with satisfying these needs in order to develop to their maximum potential.
Others have already faced these requirements and have committed themselves to participate in the
funding for this LID.
PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS
The project as designed is the widening of South 218th Street from East Valley Highway east to the creek
(approximately 600 feet east of the curves) and includes the following features:
1. A 32 foot roadway (face of curb to face of curb) which will be a two lane road with no on-street
parking.
2. Cement concrete curb & gutter on both sides.
3. Cement concrete sidewalks on both sides. (5' wide)
4. Storm drainage system including biofiltration swales and stubs to adjacent properties.
5. Street lighting system (on power poles).
6. Reverse curve realignment.
7. Utility stubs as required, both water and sanitary sewer and several new fire hydrants.
8. Cul-de-sac at east end.
9. New culvert for Garrison Creek-Valley Branch.
10. Signing and channelization.
11. Hydroseeding of unpaved areas.
12. Adjustment or relocation of existing utilities and improvements.
PROJECT FUNDING
This project was originally proposed to be funded 100 percent by the Local Improvement District method
except for the water and sewer stubs. The water and sewer stubs will be funded initially by the City. A
charge in lieu of assessment will then be established which the property owner will pay upon connection.
During the formation process some of the property owners expressed concern over the extent of the
improvements, claiming that the improvements planned were excessive. The Engineering Department
reviewed the project and determined the estimated cost of a minimum improvement to address the cost issue.
The result was a backbone of a street which would correct the "S" curve problem, provide drainage and
acquire the right-of-way for a full street. The remainder of the improvements would then be installed as
properties developed or redeveloped or as covenants expired. The cost savings for the proposed minimal
improvement was estimated at$167,377.13. However,there were disadvantages to this approach so the City
agreed to proceed with the original scope of work and to supplement the LID funding with $167,377.,13.
FUNDING SUMMARY
Original Final
LID Assessments: $1,164,620.59 LID Assessments $ 979,525.80

Total Project Cost $1,151,214.39
LID 3457/MV96106

Based on costs to date including right-of-way acquisition, design and the bid, the total project cost has be,--
reduced $29,946.47 (2.5%) and the LID assessment $185,094.79 (15.9%).
In addition,by agreement with the property owner, assessment No. 16 (was 16, 17 & 18 on preliminary roll)
was assessed a surcharge of$28,579.25 to compensate for some off-site wetland mitigation associated with
an on-site alleged grading violation.
Parcel 7 decided to take an assessment credit for the right-of-way acquisition rather than being paid outright.
Therefore, the final assessment roll varies from the above number.
LID Assessment: $ 979,525.81
Wetland Mitigation: + 28,597.25
R/W Credit - 5.932.00
Final LID Roll $1,002,191.06
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
The costs for this street improvement was distributed to each benefitting property owner as follows:
The total street assessments are based upon the zone and termini method. In this case seven strips, each one
hundred feet wide, are drawn parallel with the City right-of-way line. The assessment rate for the strip right
next to the right-of-way line is weighted seven times the value of the seventh strip from the right-of-wav
line; the assessment rate for the second strip from the right-of-way line is six times the rate for the sever
strip; and so on until the seventh strip. Each property owner will then pay a total assessment depending on
the number of square feet within each of the seven strips that are contained in their parcel.
Wetlands were identified and mapped and were not included within the assessment calculations as were their
associated buffers. Also, a 25 foot setback from the creek was deleted from the assessed area for
undeveloped properties.
The costs for water and sanitary sewer service stubouts will be charged totally against the benefitting
property and shall be paid as a charge in lieu of assessment at the time of connection.
PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENT
Upon Council passing, the ordinance confirnling the final assessment roll,there is a 30-day period in which
any portion or all of the assessment can be paid without interest charges. After the 30-day period, the
balance is paid over a ten year period wherein each year's payment is 1/1 Oth of the principal plus interest
on the unpaid balance. The interest will be what the market dictates.
EASEMENT AND RIGHT-OF-ACQUISITION
The construction of this street improvement project required property acquisition along the length of the
project in order to provide the necessary right-of-way needed in excess of the substandard 33 foot w
right-of-way originally owned by the City. Slope easements and construction easements were also required.
LID 345T/MV96106
April 9, 1996

Each property owner involved was advised of the appraised value of these right-of-way and easement parcels
during negotiations between the City and the owner. Final settlement was a direct payment to the owner.
One owner(assessment 47) applied the settlement as a credit toward his LID assessment, thereby reducing
his yearly payments.

Glen T Sparrow
RESPONSE TO LETTER OF PROTEST
The property owner is requesting that his assessment be reduced since there is an easement across
his property and he doesn't use that portion of his parcel.
The fact that the easterly 25 feet of the property has an easement on it does not exclude it from being
assessed. It is still part of the property and provides benefit in that the square footage of the area
encumbered by the easement is counted in the total square footage of the property for purposes of
site coverage and allowable building size. Also totally undeveloped properties that are not used at
all are also assessed the same as fully developed property.
Per the revised final assessment roll, assessment#9 was increased $21,365.44. This was due to an
error when the preliminary assessment roll was developed. The assessments were calculated using
the zone and termini method. During the development of the preliminary roll, which spanned a
period of four years, several lot line revisions were made and assessment 9 became larger. In
developing the preliminary roll, the square footage for 2 zones on assessment 49 were left out in
error. After the property owner questioned the assessment method and how his assessments were
derived,the error was found. The missing square footages were then added in and the total LID was
recalculated giving the results shown on the Revised Final Assessment Roll. Assessment 48
decreased $563.84. All other assessments were also reduced.
Both of these parcels have executed no-protest LID covenants. The covenants for assessment 48,
which comprises 50.7% of the frontage owned by this property owner, contains terms that the
improvements are to be installed within 10 years by the property owner or through an LID or upon
60 day written notice by the City whichever comes first. The covenant for assessment 49 does not
contain terms regarding time and simply runs with the land until an LID or LID's are formed to
install all the necessary improvements.
To have a valid protest, the property owner must submit evidence such as a before and after LID
appraisal that refutes the City's presumption of benefit.
In this case, Mr. Sparrow has not submitted the required evidence.
RECOMMENDATION
No adjustment of the assessment is recommended.

Re: Local Improvement District No. 345
South 218th Street Improvements
Parcels No. 8 and 9
Attn: Brenda Jacober, City Clerk
Gentlemen:
We respectfully request a review of the assessment proposed to be levied against our
property under the subject L.I.D..
The proposed assessment, we understand, has been calculated using the zone method.
Our two parcels (No. 8 and No. 9) combined comprise a parcel having 276.06 feet of
frontage on South 218th Street and being 325 feet in depth. The combined parcel being
rectangular in shape makes it possible to accurately analise the assessment on a front
footage basis.
The combined proposed assessment on our two parcels is $54,013.54 which is the
equivalent of$195.66 per front foot.
The easterly 25 feet of our property is an easement for street purposes to provide
access to the properties east and south of us for a considerable distance. The street is
paved and is in continuous daily use by the occupants of said properties. We have no use
of or any interist what so ever in said properties. A chain link fence separates this street
from the usable areas of our property thus leaving us with 251 feet by 325 feet of usable
land. It would seem only reasonable that the easement area must be considered street area
the same as the area in South 218th Street since the beneficial use is by the properties east
and south of ours for street purposes. Our access is directly to South 218th Street.
Accordingly, we respectfully request that our total assessment be reduced by 25 front
feet at $195.66 or $4,891.50.

Lester Snodgrass
RESPONSE TO LETTER OF PROTEST
1. The property owner states that there is no interest in the project.
This project became a reality after a number of property owners applied for development
permits. City ordinances and SEPA powers allow the City to require various public
improvements such as roadway improvements for developments when the roadway is
substandard. This requirement was placed on this property in 1985 when Walter and Jane
Westling requested approvals for the Voyager Charter Bus Service. They could have
improved the road in front of the property at that time.
However, this leads to an undesirable situation with portions of the road as substandard and
others fully improved. Each developer in lieu of constructing the improvement chose to sign
an LID covenant in which they agreed not to protest the formation of an LID once enough
covenants were obtained to improve the entire street all at one time and to equitably
distribute the cost. However, even with the covenant, the City, upon sixty (60) days written
notice can require the property owner to make the improvements as required by their
development permit.
The LID is only an optional method of payment for the improvement.
2. The property owner states that he purchased the property in 1989 and valued the limited
exposure and wants to get reimbursed for what he feels he is losing.
When purchasing the property in 1989 the obligation to improve South 218th Street was
already in place, recorded with King County and should have shown on his title report. So
he should have been aware of the obligation and the upcoming project when purchasing the
property.
3. The property owner states that he does not profit from the property.
The fact that he may or may not be making profit from the property has no bearing on the
requirement to improve the street or on the amount of the assessment. The property could
be vacant and the assessment would be the same.
4. The property owner states that he was forced to apply for a conditional use permit.
Again, this has no bearing on the amount of the LID assessment.
5. The property owner complained that our offer to purchase right-of-way for the road widening
was less than originally estimated.
LID 345 PROTESTS
T/MV96133
It is true that we estimated the right-of-way purchase at $13,424.00. But we also informed
him that this was only an estimate and that if the LID was formed, a real estate appraiser
would appraise the property and that amount would be the basis for our offer. Also,-please
note that based on the actual project design, the square footage purchased was substantially
less than originally estimated. That is a major reason the City's offer was less than the
original estimate. We just didn't need as much property.
6. The property owner complained that he had only two weeks to provide appraisals.
City Council passed the Ordinance creating the LID on November 1, 1994, so he had one and
a half years to provide proof regarding the property value issue as it relates to the assessment
and benefit.
7. The property owner wants to know why it is his responsibility to provide the proof regarding
benefit.
Under State laws that govern LID projects, the municipality is entitled to a presumption of
benefit, and unless this presumption is nullified by expert testimony such as an appraisal,the
presumption should hold. If the property owner submits expert opinion refuting the
municipality's presumption of benefit, the municipality must then counter with an expert
opinion substantiating the benefits. It is then a matter of decision by the legislative body of
the municipality (in this case the City Council) as to which opinion should prevail. If the
property owner is still not satisfied, he may appeal to superior count. This was all explained
to the property owners during the LID formation process.
8. The property owner states that he doesn't have the money to obtain appraisals.
The choice to protest or not is his.
9. The property owner states that this has been a ridiculous project.
This project has been planned for many years, initial covenants being signed as far back as
1980 and others in the early 80's. His property committed to the LID in 1985. There is no
question that the road is substandard and the curves are hazardous and that the improvements
are needed. The City has followed the regulations and standard procedures on LID 345 with
no difference from any other LID projects completed by the City.
RECOMMENDATION
Due to the lack of evidence refuting the benefit, no adjustment of the assessment is recommended.

RE: Parcel775780-0092
South 218th LID - Street Improvements
To Whom it may Concern:
I wish to object, strenuously, to the projected assessment of my piece of property at
8602 South 218th Street_ To my knowledge, no one on the street, with the possible
exception of Trammell Crow has been in favor of this project. It still makes little or no
sense to me to be spending this much money on a two block long dead end street. I
purchased the property for my own use in 1989 and valued the limited exposure and low
visibility of the street. You want to take that away, do I get reimbursed for what I feel I
am losing? I don't want the street improved at all.
To this date, I have not profited from the ownership of this property, and this assessment
is certainly not going to help with that issue, or for that matter, increase the value of the
property by S40,000.00. And who wants to spend W,000 and then only receive an
increase in value of the same amount? Not my kind of investment at all. I sold the
business that I was operating several years ago and have since leased my property to two
trucking companies. It is all I can do to break even on the property without this
assessment_
Originally, I was forced, by the City of Kent, to apply for a conditional use permit. This
was a very time consuming and complicated process for an individual and it made me very
angry with the City. I was not altering the property in any way and I was continuing to
use it as it had been used for many years in the past. But I was told to do it or I would not
be able to get my business licenses from the City. Great, now I am obligated to this
ridiculous assessment, plus I believe another one when you decide to spend some more of
my money. Isn't this called BLACI<AIA [L in the private sector?
You had originally proposed that my lot credits for the right of way and easements might
be about $13,424. Your Adjuster/Agent (Rose Abeyta?) was willing to pay a maximum of
$10,000 or stated that the City of Kent would just "take" my property in court if I would
not settle for this amount. Again, big government over the little businessman. We have
no chance to succeed when we have to comply with all of your regulations.
And now the City gives me about two weeks to provide PROOF that the assessment will
not increase the value of my property by an equal amount of the projected assessment.
Why is it my responsibility to prove to you that it will or will not? Why don't you have to
prove to me that it will increase the value? Again, the City over the little businessman.
We can't win, and we just keep putting up with the rules and regulations that you are able
to make us comply with.
I don't have an extra two or three thousand dollars to have appraisals done, with little
notice, to prove anything to you. I just think it's more Gestapo tactics that the City
gets away with and that we little guys get to pay for. Yes, I am not very happy with
the City of Kent. This has been a ridiculous project from the word go, and it's because
you believe that you have liability for certain issues along this road_ If that's the case, why
don't you spend your money instead of ours (mine) for this ridiculous street project?
Sincerely,
L. Lester Snodgrass

density, that the new names of the districts are
based on density rather than lot size, and that a
statement has been added to each chapter pro-
viding that accessory units are not counted in
calculating the maximum density. She noted that
the zoning districts would be redesignated as
follows:

TO: Public Works Committee
FROM: Don Wickstrom
RE: Boeing Ditch Cleaning Along North Side of S. 212th Street
Accept as Complete
This project consisted of ditch excavation, box culvert cleaning and corrugated metal
pipe arch cleaning all of which was a prerequisite to implementing the Valley
Detention project. The contract was awarded to Tydico, Inc. in the amount of
$40,034.00. The final construction cost was $56,268.73.
This contract exceeded the bid amount due to the necessity of over excavation
beyond the estimated amount and as a result of that, extra hauling of the material to
an off-site location.
Adequate funds exist within the project fund to cover this overage.
ACTION: Recommend that the Boeing Ditch Cleaning project be accepted as
complete.

4, Resolution - Programming of Channel 28, from the agenda as Director of Operations Brent
McFall was unable to attend the meeting. Johnson stated that these items would be continued to the
next meeting of the committee.
Cellular Phone Equipment Proposal
Director of Information Services Ron Spang stated that at the Council Retreat improved
communications between the Council and the City had been discussed and the use of Cellular phones
was suggested. He introduced Dee Gergich who explained that NEC portable phones had been
offered at $89.00 explaining that it was an improved product that was lighter with a battery that has
36 hours of standby capacity or 130 minutes of talk time. She noted that the state contract allows
for the price at $89.00 through April with a spare battery costing $30.00. Upon a question from the
Committee, Dee explained that the range for the NEC phone is the same as other cell phones offered
by AT&T wireless although there are some spots not served due to hills between transmitting
stations.
Johnson asked how the billing would be handled. Spang responded that if approved there will be
a change to the Council Budget. During further discussion Gergich noted that after the initial
purchase there is no monthly charge for the phones other than air time actually used. She also noted
that the policy was included with the packet on reimbursement to the city for personal use expenses.
After further discussion Bennett moved to approve the purchase and budget change for the purchase
of seven cellular phones with any of the seven phones not permanently assigned to Council available
on a loaner basis. Orr seconded the motion which passed 3-0.
Resolution - Proorammine of Channel 28
Councilmember Clark requested that the Committee accept the rewrite of Section three to add that
regular quarterly reports and as requested by the Operations Committee. Clark asked the City
Attorney if this would allow the Council to pull any programs. Lubovich responded that it was an
operational issue not a policy function. Clark replied that he would like to bring the item back to
the next committee meeting.

on sales tax from the State. Recently the State informed the city that a reciprocal agreement needed
to be signed with the Department of Revenue (DOR). During a discussion of the type of information
exchanged, May noted that the DOR may request information on registration for street fairs, etc.
May explained how the information received is used to assure that sales tax is being properly
reported and for analysis of how the manufacturing exemption impacts the city. Lubovich noted that
there is statutory protection of privacy while allowing the sharing of information.
Committeemember Bennett stated that he would like to receive more information and bring the item
back to the next meeting. The Committee concurred.
Added Item:. Executive 'Session - Property Acquisition
Parks and Recreation Director John Hodgson asked to brief the Committee on property acquisition.
Johnson adjourned the meeting to executive session. When the meeting reconvened, Roger
Lubovich noted for the record that an executive session of approximately 35 minutes was held to
discuss property acquisition. No action was taken.
February Financial Report
Johnson asked May Miller to limit her report since the report had been available for committee
review prior to the meeting. Miller noted that the main news was that on pages 11-13 sales tax is
up with the support showing an increase in retail. She added that the Department of Revenue had
reported Kent as one of the fastest growing retail areas in the state.
After May concluded her report, Committee Chair Jon Johnson adjourned the meeting at 5:45 p.m.

Approval of Vouchers: All claims for the period ending April 15, 1996, in the amount of
$1,791,11638 were approved for payment.
Contract for Wellness Services
Director of Operations Brent McFall explained that this was an item that had not been anticipated
during the 1996 budget process. He explained that Merrily Manthey has voluntarily provided a great
deal of her time to promoting this program as Chair of the Natural Medicine Task Force. The scope
of this project would go beyond her current marketing efforts. He explained that the King County
clinic was in the RFP stage and there is a good possibility that the clinic could be located in Kent
with the momentum that has been built with Ms. Manthey's assistance. McFall requested
authorization to enter into an agreement for $20.000 to pay for professional services and $10,000
to hold a natural medicine conference this fall. He noted that if approved funds would be transferred
from the unallocated general fund. Committeemember Orr moved to recommend to Council
approval of the Professional Services Agreement with Merrily Manthey and that the budget be
amended to include $30,000 for this project. Committee Chair Johnson seconded the motion which
passed 2-0. McFall stated he would contact Committeemember Bennett and if he concurred have
the item placed on the Consent Calendar of the next City Council meeting.
Resolution - Prodrammind of Channel 74
McFall stated that after meeting with Councilmember Clark a change had been made to Section 3
on page 2 to include: "The program schedule can be reviewed at any time on the request of the
Council Operations Committee." He stated that Clark had agreed to this resolution. McFall
recommended approval of the proposed resolution relating to the programming of Channel 28, the
city's government cablecast channel. Orr so moved, Johnson seconded and the motion passed 2-0.
Dent Downtovm Partnership Report
Kent Downtown Partnership (KDP) Linda Johnson noted that the first page included with the
handout showed the status of projects being worked on. She noted that the filing of the non-profit
status is expected to happen in the next two to three weeks which will enable the fund raising efforts
for the Saturday market building. Linda noted that a slide show is available now which gives design
direction for the downtown. She explained that the KDP has worked with the Planning Department
to create a design brochure for businesses downtown to use on a voluntary basis. Linda reported that
the closing of Meeker has been much smoother than the First Avenue project. She informed the
Committee that she has been working with King County to develop a diskette to give to each of the
employees who will work at the Regional Justice Center to provide information on services provided
in the Kent area. As Johnson concluded her report, she noted that the first Sunday Market had been
very successful with more customers than vendors.

Other Items
McFall noted that the Department of Revenue has changed their procedures and no longer require
an ordinance for the exchange of sales tax information.
Bill Doolittle addressed the committee and asked if the road closed signs on First and Meeker could
be changed. He explained that the road closed signs had been posted during the construction of the
library and it would be more appropriate to have no thru traffic posted. Doolittle stated that this
would provide improved access to Kaibara Park and the library.
There being no further business to be brought before the committee, Committee Chair Johnson
adjourned the meeting at 4:50 p.m.
