DATE: September 12. 1996
SUBJECT: 1997-2002 CAPITAL FACILITY PLAN PUBLIC HEARING
Attached are the graphs and financial worksheets on Kent's Capital Facilin- Plan for the next six
years. The plan includes capital needs for all of the City's capital facilities and infrastructure.
including transportation, water. sewer, drainage, parks. public safety, and general government.
The S181,407,000 total includes S113.245,000 for public works projects. primarily the cast/west
corridors.
The Capital Facility Plan is a portion of the City's Comprehensive Plan which can be updated
annually to maintain concurrence with land use and transportation according to the state's
Growth Management Act. This year is especially important as we plan for growth due to the
Meridian Annexation that took effect January 1, 1996. Cities are required to show not only the
expenditures necessary to accommodate growth, but more importantly to show that the funds are
available to support the projects. This plan shows both revenue and expenditures and is in
balance with the exception of the transportation portion. This area has been in a deficit position
the last two years because the utility tax has a sunset expiration in 2000. two years before the
required projects end. The Public Works Committee will review this section and make a
recommendation before the plan is adopted.
The Operations Committee has reviewed the plan and recommended it to be forwarded in the
process. This year's amended plan has been forwarded to the Planning Commission who will
also hold a public hearing in October or November. After this hearing, the plan will be
submitted to Council for approval: the 1997 portion will then be included in the City's 1997
Budget.

MEMORANDUM
September 17, 1996
MEMO TO: MAYOR JIM W HITE AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CAROLYN SUNDVALL, HUMAN SERVICES PLANNER
SUBJECT: 1997 PROPOSED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
PROGRAM
Attached is the proposed 1997 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for the
City of Kent. The total proposed program is estimated at $576,263. This is a 32 percent
($139,713) increase from our 1996 CDBG funding level of $436,550. This increase in funding
has resulted in the City being able to fund all of the capital requests and to award the Parks
Department, Tot Lot project an additional $26,294 to accommodate ADA improvements and other
amenities such as picnic tables, walkways and improved play equipment. Kent received Public
Service CDBG funding requests exceeding by over $68,462 the CDBG dollars available.
A description of each program requesting Kent's CDBG funds and the rationale for the
recommended funding is attached for your review. The Human Services Commission reviewed
the CDBG human (public) service applications. The attached proposal includes the Commission's
funding recommendations for those human services programs. As in past years, the majority of
the CDBG funds are recommended to support the City's Home Repair Services Program. This
program continues to serve many low income, disabled and senior homeowners in Kent by
providing needed repairs. The program also guarantees that some of Kent's low and moderate
income housing stock is maintained and preserved. Home Repair's summer painting program
has also been recommended for funding this year.
Keep in mind that Kent's CDBG entitlement figure of $576,263 for 1997 is an estimate. The
amount of money we receive could change depending upon the final federal appropriations bill
Congress passes in the Fall. Therefore, the recommended funding includes a contingency plan
to address any potential entitlement changes that may occur when Congress adopts the 1997
budget. Kent's adopted 1997 CDBG Program must include such a contingency plan and be
forwarded to King County by September 30, 1996.

PROPOSED CITY OF KENT
1997 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
STAFF ANALYSIS
CAPITAL, PROJECTS
1. CITY OF KENT HOME REPAIR SERVICES PROGRAM
Amount Requested: S230,096
Program Summary:
The City's Housing Repair Service Program provides major and minor repairs to income eligible
owner-occupied housing located within the City of Kent. The proposed program this year includes
the summer painting program and three new temporary painter positions. The CDBG funds will
pay the salaries of our home repair staff(who do the actual minor repairs and administration of the
program), a temporary summer painting crew, supplies for minor repairs, vehicle rental, contractor
fees for our major repairs, and miscellaneous administrative fees.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: S230,096
If the City receives a decrease in its CDBG capital funds, then City of Kent Parks Dept. Tot Lot
Phase II would be decreased up to $26,000. Any additional decrease would be split proportionately
among the remaining projects.
Rationale:
The City should continue its commitment to the Housing Repair Services Program which has
operated in the City since 1975 when the Federal CDBG program began. The program serves
100% low and moderate income Kent residents. Many of the clients are seniors or disabled
persons; the program helps these people remain in their homes and helps to maintain and preserve
Kent's housing stock.
2. CITY OF KENT'S PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT:
Kiwanis Tot Lot 94 Phase II Rehabilitation (at 5th and Crow St.)
Amount Requested: $70,000
Program Summary:
This proposed funding would be used to rehabilitate an existing park in a low and moderate income
neighborhood. Old outdated play equipment will be replaced with a new large play structure,
ground material, and border. Picnic Tables, walkways and drinking fountains will also be added.
1
PROPOSED CITY OF KENT 1997 CDBG PROGRAM
August 26, 1996
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: 596,294
The capital funds allocations had a balance of$26,294 that was applied to this Project. Originally
the Tot Lot project was scaled back due to lack of funds. Funding at the increased level will allow
for an inclusion of amenities such as expanded play equipment, picnic tables and walkways.
However, if the City receives a decrease in its CDBG capital funds,then City of Kent Parks Dept.
Tot Lot Phase II would be decreased up to $26,000. Any additional decrease would be split
proportionately among the remaining projects.
Rationale:
Our neighborhood parks in low income areas should look no different from and be no less
accessible than parks in the more affluent areas. Unfortunately, the park this proposal is for has
become run down. The funds would remedy that situation. In addition, the park would be
handicap accessible, allowing physically challenged children to enjoy playground activities and
lead a more normal life.
3. EASTER SEALS OF WASIIINGTON-Modifications to rentals for the physically challenged
Amount Requested: 518,250
Program Summary:
This project provides access modifications to allow handicapped accessibility in rental units in
Kent. Specifically, access ramps, roll-in showers, grab bars, widening interior doors, wall hung
sinks, and raised toilets are proposed. Requested funds would also pay fora portion of the Project
Manager's salary and administrative costs.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: 518,250
If the City receives a decrease in its CDBG capital funds, then City of Kent Parks Dept. Tot Lot
Phase II would be decreased up to 526,000. Any additional decrease would be split proportionately
among the remaining projects.
Rationale:
This project serves physically challenged residents of Kent residing in rental units. This program
supplements the City's Housing Repair Services Program since the City's program only serves
owner-occupied units, not rentals. The project specifically addresses a City of Kent local program
priority to provide access modification for physically challenged persons.
PROPOSED CITY OF KENT 1997 CDBG PROGRAM
August 26, 1996
4. KING COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY - Nike Residential Rehab:
Amount Requested: S50,000
Program Summary:
The Nike site, which was given to the King County Housing Authority, consists of 31 surplus
military single family housing units which has been providing emergency shelter and transitional
housing with support services since 1990. This project is located on the West Hill in Kent. The
King County Housing Authority leases units to the South King County Multi-Service Center.
Highline West Seattle Mental Health Center and St. Stephens Housing Association. The
population served consists of homeless women, children, families and mentally challenged seniors.
The request is for partial funding of Phase II which will pay for Health & Safety items such as
exterior lighting, repair of asphalt, site restoration. replacement of kitchen cabinets and repair of
floor coverings.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: S50,000
If the City receives a decrease in its CDBG capital funds, then City of Kent Parks Dept. Tot Lot
Phase II would be decreased up to $26,000. Any additional decrease would be split proportionately
among the remaining projects.
Rationale:
This housing serves a vital and under-served need for emergency and transitional housing in Kent.
Except for the roof, there has not been a major rehab of the units since it was built in 1958. Kent
funds will help provide a safer and healthier environment for the homeless and mentally challenged
seniors.
5. l'IENTAL HEALTH HOUSING FOUNDATION - Buccheit Gardens Apartments
Amount Requested: S16,774
Program Summary:
Request is to partially fund the purchase of 8 to 10 units of housing for people who are mentally
challenged. Agency is currently looking at apartment complexes in Auburn and Kent. Options are
to acquire an older complex and rehab it to meet the clients needs or to purchase a mixed use
building that would set aside 8 units for mental health and the rest of the units would be market
rate.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
PROPOSED CITY OF KENT 1997 CDBG PROGRAM
August 26, 1996
Staff Funding Recommendation: S16,774
If the City receives a decrease in its CDBG capital funds, then City of Kent Parks Dept. Tot Lot
Phase II would be decreased up to $26,000. Any additional decrease would be split proportionately
among the remaining projects.
Rationale:
This housing serves a vital and under-served need for independent living situations for low income
chronically mentally challenged adults. This project received $296,888 from the King County
Housing Finance Program. Kent's grant is required as a local matching fund.
6. MENTAL HEALTH HOUSING FOUNDATION TALL FIRS REHAB
Amount Requested: S10,172
Program Summary:
Project is for the replacement of the roof and fencing at a home/minifarm dedicated to housing very
low income chronically mentally challenged adults. Project is located within the Kent City limits
and houses 5 clients.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: S10,172
If the City receives a decrease in its CDBG capital funds, then City of Kent Parks Dept. Tot Lot
Phase II would be decreased up to$26,000. Any additional decrease would be split proportionately
among the remaining projects.
Rationale:
Mental Health Foundation purchased the home and 2 acres in 1993. Request is a small investment
to ensure that housing will be maintained in a safe and secure environment for chronically mentally
challenged adults..
7. UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY - Community Living Homes
Amount Requested: S15,000
Program Summary:
Request is for partial funding for land acquisition to build permanent housing that would house
4 individuals that are developmentally challenged. Agency is currently looking for an in-fill lot
in the Kent and Auburn area. King County HOF and HUD 811 Program will fund the construction
of the home. Support services will be provided by the Dept. of Developmentally Disabled.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
4
PROPOSED CITY OF KENT 1997 CDBG PROGRAM
August 26, 1996
Staff Funding Recommendation: S15,000
If the City receives a decrease in its CDBG capital funds, then City of Kent Parks Dept. Tot Lot
Phase II would be decreased up to $26,000. Any additional decrease would be split proportionately
among the remaining projects.
Rationale:
Funding will support subregional housing needs for people who have severe physical challenges.
Clients will be referred from United Cerebral Palsy.
FLANNLNG & ADMINISTRATION
8. CITY OF KENT PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION (for the CDBG program)
Amount Set Aside: S65,428
Program Summary:
The planning and administration of the CDBG program involves a number of tasks such as contract
development and monitoring, regional cooperation, and fulfilling the various federal reporting
requirements. These dollars will continue to fund an existima permanent part-time planner position
and a temporary intern position. Funds will also be used for general program administration costs
which support Kent's CDBG program.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Staff Funding Recommendation: $65,428
Rationale: The Council has already taken action at their June 4, 1996 meeting to accept the
maximum set aside for Planning and Administration CDBG dollars. That is estimated to be
$65,428. We need this amount to be set aside for planning and administration, because Kent's
general fund does not fully cover the staff time needed to administer and plan for the CDBG
program.

PROPOSED CITY OF KENT 1997 CDBG PROGRAM
August 26, 1996
PUBLIC (HUMAN) SERVICE
9. CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES - Springwood Foodbank
Amount Requested: S25,000
Program Summary:
Funding is for the support of an on-site food bank to provide emergency and supplementary food
for residents of the Springwood Low Income Housing Complex located in the Meridian
Annexation area_
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Human Service Commission Funding Recommendation: S10,000
If the City's CDBG Public Services funding levels change, this program may be decreased. For
details refer to the last page.
Rationale:
Funding will help meet the basic and emergent food needs of the low income residents. The
program has been funded by King County since 1989. Once the area was annexed into the City,
King County funds became unavailable. Without support from the City, the program would not
be able to operate.
10. COYIMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS OF KING COUNTY -Kent Clinic services.
Amount Requested: S25,000
Program Summary:
Funds will be used to help support the compensation of a physician, who will provide primary
medical care to low and moderate income people at the Kent Clinic.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Human Service Commission Funding Recommendation: S18,555
If the City's CDBG Public Services funding levels change, this program may be increased or
decreased. For details refer to the last page.
6
PROPOSED CITY OF KENT 1997 CDBG PROGRAM
August 26, 1996
Rationale:
Health care is a critical need in Kent_ The Kent Clinic is the major point of access to medical
services for Kent's low income population. Access to basic medical services is limited to low and
moderate income residents because of lack of insurance and the lack of medical providers who
accept Medicaid or Medicare clients. This project addresses that need.
11. CONNECTION, ADULT DAY CARE (Elderhealth NW)
Amount Requested: $5,000
Program Summary:
Funds will be used to help off-set the costs of adult day health services for Kent residents who are
frail, elderly or disabled who still live at home. Clients receive medical assessment. on-going
health monitoring, meals, social & therapeutic activities. Caregivers and families are offered
support, education and counseling.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with ail local and consortium policies.
Human Service Commission Funding Recommendation: S5,000
This program was recommended for funding at the minimum allowable amount and will not be
affected by the Contingency Plan.
Rationale:
This is a priority one level for funding. Program addresses the growing need for adult day health
services for low income residents.
12. EMERGENCY FEEDING PROGRAM OF SEATTLE-KING COUNTY:
Distribution of meal boxes
Amount Requested: S10,132
Program Summary:
The Emergencv Feeding Program provides emergency boxed meals for distribution at a number
of sites in Kent. This Program differs from a food bank in that it provides nutritionally balanced
meals for three days. Special meals are available for specific health concerns such as high blood
pressure, low sodium diets, low sugar, and liquid diets. They also provide infant meal packs and
food for the homeless that doesn't ne--d cooking.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with ail local and consortium policies.'
Human Service Commission Funding Recommendation: S10,132
If the City's CDBG Public Services funding levels change, this program may be decreased. For
details refer to the last page.
7
PROPOSED CITY OF KENT 1997 CDBG PROGRAM
August 26, 1996
Rationale: The agency provides nutritionally balanced & special diet meals to individuals and
families in crisis. The City of Kent began funding this agency four years ago. The agency has
demonstrated to the City that it is providing a` it--1 service in a competent and efficient manner.
13. YWCA, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
Amount Requested: S32,200
Program Summary:
Program provides emergency and transitional shelter along with support services for victims of
Domestic Violence and their children. In 1997, the YWCA will continue to provide Kent victims
of Domestic Violence with shelter in five units of transitional housing.
Local and Consortium Policies and Priorities:
The proposed project complies with all local and consortium policies.
Human Service Commission Funding Recommendation: $30,562
If the Citv's CDBG Public Services funding levels change, this program inav be increased or
decreased. For details refer to the last page.
Rationale:
The YWCA's program is the only transitional housing for domestic violence victims in South King
County and is a vital service for Kent residents. This is one major component in the continuum
of housing services needed to help victims move out of the cycle of violence.
PUBLIC (HUMAN) SERVICES CONTINGENCY PLAN
If Kent's CDBG Human Services dollars increase from the current estimate, then: 1st) The increase will
be split between the Community Health Centers &the YWCA, up to their requested amounts. In the event
that the increase exceeds this amount, then 2nd) any additional increase would fund Community Health
Center of King County Primary Dental Program up to the 1997 General Fund request.

1997 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGR.kM(CDBG) -(L. Houston)
Human Services Planner Carolyn Sundvall informed the Committee the total proposed 1997 CDBG
program is estimated at S576,263 and explained the relevant contingency plans. This is a thirty-nvo
percent(32%) increase (S139,713) from our 1996 CDBG funding level of S436,550. There are three
portions to this program. The Capital funding portion is S436,586, the Planning & Administration
funding portion is S65,428, and the Public (human) Services funding portion is S74,249.
Staff recommended that the Planning Committee take the following action:
1. Approve the proposed 1997 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program, including its contingency plan, and forward for adoption to the full
City Council.
2. Schedule a public hearing for September 17, 1996, for the full City Council
to consider adoption of the proposed 1997 CDBG Program.
Committee member Tim Clark confirmed the CDBG is Federal money that is allocated locally. He
also questioned whether the capital funds allocated to the Mental Health Housing Foundation for the
Buccheit Gardens Acquisition was a county-wide project. Planner Carolyn Sundvall explained that
the City of Kent funding is a small portion in comparison and other cities have proposed funding for
this project.

Stream Buffer Ordinance. Committee member Tim Clark clarified that this Ordinance would
continue the protection that King County had in place. Brubaker confirmed that Kent's Ordinance
would incorporate the same or slightly less restrictive buffer requirements that were in place in King
County.

awareness of at-risk youth, provide opportunities for exploring environmental careers, and involve them in
"hands on" activities including planting trees and plants in community open space areas located in the
Renton Highland and Skyway area in learning about the relationship between the environmental problems
(pollution, degradation of fish habitat), urban growth, and community neglect. Projects will be developed

RE: King Countv Work Training Program's Intent to Contract
Dear Ms. Fraser:
Thank you very much for working with the King County Work Training Program (WTP) to
operate a summer program this year. This letter will serve notice of WTP's intent to contract
with the City of Kent Parks & Recreation for the project titled Youth Conservation Corp. The
contract amount will not exceed S12,978.
Copies of the contract should arrive some time during the first part of June for your signature.
Meanwhile, it is important that your staff coordinate efforts with WTP staff to ensure that youth
identified for participation in the program have completed applications and are eligible for the
summer program. Please contact either myself or Bormie Hester at 296-5220 if you have any
questions regarding project start-up activities.
We are looking forward to working with you in the coordination of an exciting and successful
summer project.
Sincerely.

Dear Ms. Fraser,
Congratulations, the proposal you submitted for the Mobile Recreation/ Computer
Program has been recommended for a one-time award of 538,000. The award would be
available to your community partnership after the contract is negotiated and signed. This
award is a one-time (non-renewable ) award for a period of time not to exceed 15
months or December 1996. The County may not reimburse you for any costs incurred
prior to contract signature.
The number of proposals submitted for On-going funds and for the One-Time funds
provided ample evidence of the needs and the efforts of many communities throughout
the County that are working on youth agendas. The proposal review committee spent a
great deal of time reviewing the proposals. The committee review process resulted in
recommendations which were presented to the King County Executive staff and Council
staff. Unfortunately, not all of the projects could be funded at the requested levels.
Although your proposal could not be funded at the requested amount the committee
encourages you to create an opportunity for youth to have hands on experience with
computers and with a video production. The review committee also recommended that
the funded projects will develop outcome measures as part of the contract negotiations.
You will be contacted very soon by a member of the staff to the King County Children
and Family Commission to arrange for contract negotiation. You should submit a revised
project budget as soon as possible and prior to your scheduled contract negotiation. You
may fax this to Marissa Alegria at 296-3462, or mail it to her at the Office of Financial
Management, Room 420, King County Courthouse, 516 Third Avenue, Seattle, 98104.
If you have any questions, at this time, please contact Marissa Alegria at 296-3430.

The copies of the submitted proposals and the rating summaries are available for your
review on October 10-13 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m in the office of the King County Children
and Family Commission, Room 420, King County Courthouse, 516 Third Avenue,
Seattle. Please call 296-3430 for an appointment.
You will receive an invitation to attend the press conference announcing the Safe
Community/Youth Partnership Awards to the general public. This is tentatively
scheduled for late in October. Please plan to attend and bring a project participant(s) as
you may be asked to talk about your project. Congratulations again on your successful
proposal!

Conditions
City of Seattle - Greenspace Additions: This project is for greenspace additions in the
Duwamish Head Greenbelt, and in the Maple School Natural Area. These properties were
identified as priorities in the City's 1993 Urban Greenspaces Policy. The Duwamish Head
Greenbelt property is highly visible from downtown Seattle; has an excellent view of the City,
Elliot Bay and the Cascades, which are threatened by development. The Maple School ravine
property is adjacent to Graham Street, an east/west arterial between the Duwamish valley and the
Beacon Hill Neighborhood.
City of Seattle - Ballard/Greenwood Neighborhood Open Space: The goal of this project is
to acquire needed open space in a densely populated Seattle community that is currently under-
served. The local community has conducted an impressive grass roots open space identification
planning process that has yielded over 100 possible sites for local open space acquisitions. The
community has agreed to identify a final list of properties for acquisitions, that are located along
the Interurban North Trail and will complement this regional facility.
August 20, 1996
Interlocal Amendment
Citv_ of Seattle -Thornton Creek Watershed (Victory Creek): This project includes a wooded
.16 acre parcel that contains the confluence of Thornton and Victory Creeks, in Northeast Seattle.
This property complements additional nearby city acquisitions and street vacations and meets the
criteria for the Urban Waterways 2000 program.
Suburban Cities
City of Bellevue - Lewis Park Addition: This 14-acre scenic property is located on Lakemont
Boulevard and is the last remaining large parcel contiguous to Bellevue's 35-acre Lewis Park.
The park is located south of I-90, where 1/3 of the City's residents live today, in a neighborhood
with intense development pressure. Bellevue is providing a significant match of S 1.5 million
from its adopted CIP program, and has applied for S500,000 in state IAC funds.
City of Des Moines - McSorely Creek: This project is a 9 acre wooded open space, located on
16`' Avenue in Des Moines. The property contains McSorely Creek and is connected by a trail to
a local elementary school. The property is offered for sale to the City at a significant discount;
less than one quarter of its appraised value, because the owner wishes to see it preserved in
perpetuity. Acquisition of this parcel will also help the city meet its shortfall of 50 acres of open
space identified in its adopted comprehensive plan.
City of Issaquah -Issaquah Creek Greenway Phase I: This 8 acre project consists of seven
previously-approved platted lots located in a floodplain along Issaquah Creek off the Issaquah-
Hobart Road. The site is surrounded by open space dedicated through an adjacent development
and will be a link in the City's local trail network, which passes through the nearby Issaquah
is site will also help the City better protect this salmon-beanng
High School. Acquisition of th
creek and contribute to its Greenway project. The City will also remove a paved road into the
properties as part of the proposed site restoration. Geographic balance in funding supports only
partial funding of this application.
City of Kent -Kent Southeast Boundary Open Space: This project is a wooded 14.5 acre site
containing an intermittent stream, located on the ciry's southeast boundary along State Route 18.
The property is part of a proposed combined open space and ballfield park in an area that is one
of the most rapidly urbanizing communities in King County, a community with a deficit of open
spaces. There are few remaining open space opportunities in this community and the City is
working to identify local funds for acquisition of the ballfield portion of the adjacent site.
City of North Bend/Snoqualmie - Meadowbrook Farm: Located between the Cities of North
Bend and Snoqualmie, Meadowbrook Farm is an exceptional open space with multiple benefits
important to our region. This property is a key _51 acre inholdinG located in the most scenic
portion of the farm, at the base of Mount Si.

AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of
Kent, Washington, amending Kent City Code Section
15.08.224 pertaining to Soos Creek Basin Stream Buffers
within the Meridian Annexation Area.
WHEREAS, on January 1, 1996, the City annexed a 5.27 square mile area of
unincorporated King County lying east of the existing City limits, commonly known as the
Meridian Annexation Area; and
WHEREAS, three major creeks within the Soos Creek drainage system, Soos Creek,
Big Soos Creek, and Little Soos Creek, together with many unnamed tributaries to those
creeks, lie within the City's Meridian Annexation area; and
WHEREAS, these three creeks and their tributaries constitute a significant part of a
unique regional drainage system, providing valuable habitat for salmon and other plant
and wildlife species; and
WHEREAS, Metropolitan King County's development setbacks along these
tributaries, known as "buffers," establish more effective protection for these tributaries'
systems than would be established under Kent City Code development standards; and
WHEREAS, various parties who deem themselves affected by this potential change
in setback requirements have notified the City of their concerns for the continued
preservation of this important habitat area; and
Stream Buffer
WHEREAS, on December 19, 1995, after a public hearing on the matter, the Kent
City Council, by its Ordinance No. 3259, established interim zoning controls relating to
preservation of these stream buffers so that City staff could conduct further study on the
matter; and
WHEREAS, the City staff has studied this matter, and on May 29, 1996, the City's
Interim Land Use and Planning Board held a public hearing on a proposed zoning map
and text amendment that will permanently preserve these established stream development
standards on these tributaries in the Meridian Annexation Area; and
WHEREAS, the Interim Land Use and Planning Board determined, in principle, to
implement these setbacks and buffers, subject to review under the State Environmental
Policy Act ("SEPA") and also subject to final review and approval of the implementing
ordinance; and
WHEREAS, on June 18, 1996, the Kent City Council, by its Ordinance No. 3300,
extended the established interim zoning controls created by Ordinance No. 3259 to
preserve these stream development standards in the Meridian Annexation Area in order to
conduct SEPA review and to develop regulations pursuant to the direction of the Interim
Land Use and Planning Board; and
WHEREAS, SEPA review is now complete and the appropriate regulations have
been reviewed and accepted; NOW, THEREFORE,

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
I. An application for a rezone was filed on March 29, 1996. The property proposed for a
rezone is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of S. 22S`h Street and West
Valley Highway and is known as "Van Doren's Landing Building No. I". Exhibit IA,
Application.
2. The property is approximately 11.93 acres in size. The applicant proposes a rezone from
"M-1" (Industrial Park District) to "MI-C" (Industrial Park District, Commercial Suffix)
Exhibit IA. The proposed rezone would allow the applicant to develop the property with a
wider range of retail uses than those authorized in an M-1 zone. Retail development of the
site would be the only retail operations within the property development known as Van
Doren's Landing where over 3,000 employees work each day. Exhibit IA, Application;
Testimony of Ms. Charlene Anderson.
3. Property to the west, north and south of the site is zoned M-1. The subject property is
surrounded by corporate offices, manufacturing and distribution businesses. Exhibit 1, Staff
Report; Site View.
4. The City Comprehensive Plan Map designates the site as Industrial. Specific policies within
the Comprehensive Plan specifically address the subject property by identifying "expansion
of retail opportunities"within the"M-1 Industrial Park district"as a priority. Exhibit 1, Staff
Report, pages 4-5.
5. Development of the site with retail uses such as a mini-mart or deli is associated with this
rezone proposal. Application. Preliminary information suggests that transportation impacts
can be mitigated and that there are all required public utilities available to the site to support
retail development. No concerns were expressed by any member of the public during the
hearing. Exhibit 1, Staff Report.

Findings and Recommendation
Van Doren's Landing Building I
#RZ-96-4
6. A final Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance was issued for this proposal on April 30,
1996. Conditions related to traffic mitigation, road improvements, wetland buffers, water
quality and stormwater drainage were attached to the Mitigated Determination ci
Nonsignificance (MDNS). The MDNS- was not appealed. Exhibit IB; Testimony of
Charlene Anderson.
7. Since the existing zoning designation of M-1 was applied in 1959, the city has experienced
rapid growth and development. The Growth Management Act required the City to re-
examine its planning guidelines and development regulations for the City. In 1995, the City
identified a need to provide retail outlets to the more than 30,000 employees who are drawn
to the City each day. These employees often are working in an industrial park where the
only available retail outlets are not within walking distance. Exhibit 1, Staff Report;
Application.
8. A public hearing was held on this application on July 17, 1996. Notice of the public hearing
was posted on the site, published in the newspaper and mailed to persons living near the site.
Exhibit ID, Affidavits of Notice. The public hearing was attended by a representative of the
City and the applicant. The City presented a recommendation to approve the rezone request
with conditions. Exhibit 1, Staff Report; Testimony of Charlene Anderson. The applicant
presented testimony in support of the rezone request. Testimony of Dan Ivanoff. No one
testified or submitted any evidence against the rezone request at the public hearing. All
testimony and evidence presented prior to and during the public hearing supported approval
of the rezone request.
CONCLUSIONS
Jurisdiction and Authoritv
The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to hold a public hearing on this quasi-judicial rezone, and to
issue a written recommendation for final action to the Council, pursuant to RCW 35A.63.170 and
Chapters 2.32 and 15.09 of the Kent City Code.
Section 15.09.050 (A)(3) of the Kent Zoning Code sets forth the standards and criteria the Examiner
must use to evaluate a request for a rezone. A request for a rezone shall only be granted if:
a. The proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan;
b. The proposed rezone and subsequent development of the site would be compatible with
development in the vicinity;
3
Findings and Recommendation
Van Doren's Landing Building I
#RZ-96-4
C. The proposed rezone will not unduly burden the transportation system in the vicinity of the
property with significant adverse impacts which cannot be mitigated;
d. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the current zoning
district to warrant the proposed rezone;
e. The proposed rezone will not adversely affect the health, safety, and general welfare of the
citizens of the City of Kent.
Based on the Findings specified above, the Examiner makes the following conclusions:
Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
CONCLUSION 1: The proposed rezone is consistent with the both the City Comprehensive
Plan Map and Policies.
1.1 The designation of Commercial on the comprehensive plan map indicates the proposal is
consistent with the vision of the future adopted by the City Council. The uses allowed in a M1-C
zone are compatible with those contemplated in the comprehensive plan under the Industrial
classification and under policy LU-16.4. Finding of Fact eVo. 4.
1.2 The Examiner must also consider the policies of the comprehensive plans as well as the map
designations. The Comprehensive Plan includes written policies to encourage retail development
within industrial park areas. The proposed rezone is consistent with these policies. Finding of Fact
No.4 .
Compatibility with Development in the Vicinity
CONCLUSION 2: The potential development associated with the rezone proposal would be
compatible with the existing development in the vicinity of the proposed rezone.
The proposed rezone is in an area of manufacturing, light industrial and office park development.
The proposed rezone would be consistent with this surrounding development. The type of
development authorized under the proposed zone is just as compatible with the existing development
than is the type of development authorized under the current zone. Finding of Fact No.3.
Burden on Transportation System
CONCLUSION 3: The proposed rezone would not unduly burden the transportation system
4
Findings and Recommendation
Van Doren's Landing Building I
#RZ-96-4
3.1 The traffic impacts associated with the potential development of the proposed rezone will
be reviewed by the City as part of the environmental review of any development proposal that may
be associated with the rezone. Preliminary analysis by the Public Works Department indicates that
there are no traffic impacts associated with the a development proposal that cannot be mitigated at
the time of the application for a specific development. Findings of Fact No. 5.
Change of Circumstances
CONCLUSION 4: Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the
existing zone to warrant the proposed rezone.
There have been significant changes in land use activity in the city in the last few years since the
passage of the Growth Management Act. The proposed zoning designation reflects the changing
nature of development in the City. The Comprehensive Plan developed under the Growth
Management Act stresses the need to develop services within walking distance of those who use
them in order to reduce vehicle traffic in the City. This rezone is proposed at this time because of
the changes in planning policies within the City adopted during June, 1996. Finding of Fact No. 7.
Health Safetv and Welfare of the Citizens of Kent
CONCLUSION 5: The proposed rezone would not adversely affect the general welfare of the
citizens of Kent in the area surrounding the proposed rezone.
No one presented any evidence of any nature against this rezone proposal. The Hearing Examiner
must conclude that the proposed rezone would not have any adverse affect on anyone in the area
surrounding the rezone. Finding of Fact No. 8.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above Findings and Conclusions, the Examiner recommends the City Council
APPROVE this request for a rezone with conditions. Conditions of approval are necessary to
address potential impacts of the proposal including traffic impacts that may result from development
of the property with retail uses. It is the Examiner's opinion that the rezone request,with conditions,
meets the criteria for approval established by the Council and should be approved with the following
conditions:
1. The developer shall execute an environmental mitigation agreement to financially participate
in, and pay a fair share of the costs associated with the construction of the South 224th/228th
Street Corridor project. Because this is a rezone of the property, and represents a
fundamental change in the land-use assumptions, any trips above those for the existing land
use assumptions shall be mitigated at the full Corridor Participation rate of$1960 per PM

peak hour trip. The minimum benefit to the above development is estimated at$505,680 (in
1986 dollars) based upon 22 PM peak hour trips at$980 per PM peak trip, and 247 PM peak
hour trips at the full participation rate of$1,960 per PM peak trip, entering and leaving the
site and the capacity of the South 224th/228th Street Corridor.
Note: If the applicant or successor develops the property with a use allowed in the M-1
zone, the additional mitigation associated with a use allowed in the MI-C zone shall no
longer be required as a condition of the rezone approval.
2. As a consequence of the significant change in land use and trip generation from the site, the
developer shall extend the exclusive eastbound right turn lane at the intersection of
South 228th Street at West Valley Highway, to provide a combined right-turn/deceleration
lane to no less than 100-feet west of any access point for this project, including:
a) The developer shall deed sufficient right of way across the easterly frontage of the
property on South 228th Street to widen the roadway to add a 12-foot wide right-
turn lane. This deed of right of way shall be based upon a survey to be performed by
a licensed land surveyor of the subject property and South 228th Street, and shall
delineate clearly the existing public right of way, curb lines, and public
improvements on South 228th Street, and the additional right of way needed to widen
South 228th Street as noted. The total right of way required, as measured from
centerline of the street to property line, shall be at least 52 feet. In addition, this shall
include a grant of a 13-foot wide sidewalk and slope easement behind the new right-
of-way line.
b) The developer shall acquire an easement from the adjoining property owner to widen
the roadway to construct these improvements.
c) The developer shall construct a continuous right-turn/deceleration lane across the
easterly property frontage on South 228th Street. The deceleration lane shall extend
a minimum distance of 100 feet [not including a minimum 50-foot bay taper
transition] to the west of the easterly project driveway, as measured from the point
of curb return for the driveway. The minimum width of the deceleration lane shall
be 12 feet.
The construction of this right-turn/deceleration lane shall include concrete curbs,
gutters, and 6.5-foot wide concrete sidewalks. The paving section for this lane shall
be to the full requirements of the City's Construction Standards for a Minor Arterial.

F. History
The subject property was annexed to the City of Kent as part of a 2,990-acre
annexation on February 28, 1959 via Ordinance No. 1013. In 1986, the area was
included in the West Vallev Industrial Studv which identified three major
intersections in Kent's industrial area as "...logical locations for permitting a wider
range of retail uses..." These uses would "...respond to the personal and service
needs of 30,000 plus employees who are drawn to the City each day..." Allowing
more flexibility for retail uses in the M-1 district was considered anew by the City
Council Planning Committee on April 4, 1995 and that committee voted
unanimously to add policy LU-16.4 to the Land Use Element of the Kent
Comprehensive Plan. Through an inadvertent omission,that policy was not adopted
by the City Council until June 18, 1996 via Ordinance No. 3302.

IV. PLANNING DEPARTMENT REVIEW
A. Comprehensive Plan
In 1995, the Kent City Council adopted the Kent Comprehensive Plan, which
represented a complete revision to the City's 1977 comprehensive plan. 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 other public agencies. The plan is used by the Mayor, City Council,
Land Use and Planning Board, Hearing Examiner, and City departments to guide
decisions on amendments to the City's zoning code and other development
regulations, which must be consistent with the plan, and also guide decisions
regarding the funding and location of capital improvement projects. The Land Use
Element of the plan contains a Land Use Plan Map, which designates the type and
intensity of land uses throughout the city, as well as in the entire potential annexation
area.
The GMA Kent Comprehensive Plan designates the project site Industrial. The
proposal supports Policy LU-16.4, "To expand retail opportunities to provide
necessary personal and business services for the general industrial area, implement
the recommendations of the West Valley Industrial study regarding potential areas
for expanded retail opportunities for properties within the M1 Industrial Park
district."

B. STANDARDS AND CRITERIA FOR GRANTING A REQUEST FOR REZONE
According to Kent City Code Section 15.09.O50.C, "The following standards and
criteria shall be used by the hearing examiner and city council to evaluate a request
for rezone. Such an amendment shall only be granted if the city council determines
that the request is consistent with these standards and criteria."
1. The proposed rezone is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Planning Department Comment:
See IV.A., above.
2. The proposed rezone and subsequent development of the site would be
compatible with development in the vicinity.
Planning_Department Comment:
Allowing flexibility in retail uses at the proposed location would offer additional
services to the thousands of employees who work in the industrial area of the City
and thus would be compatible with development in the vicinity of the site.
3. The proposed rezone will not unduly burden the transportation system in the
vicinity of the property with significant adverse impacts which cannot be
mitigated.
Planning_Department Comment:
Mitigation of impacts to the traffic system were considered during environmental
review of the proposal. Additional mitigating conditions are included as part of the
staff recommendation for this proposal.
4. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the
current zoning district to warrant the proposed rezone.
Planning Department Comment:
As stated on page 80 of the West Valley Industrial Study, "...The nature of Kent's
industrial base is changing as it matures...Today's development pattern is more
mixed. Service-type industries and office uses represent a larger and larger share of
5
Staff Report
Van Doren's Landing Building I Rezone
#RZ-96-4
development proposals. A demand for retail and personal service uses has also
resulted from the tremendous influx of employees into the City's industrial area...".
5. The proposed rezone will not adversely affect the health, safety and general
welfare of the citizens of the city.
Planning Department Comment:
The proposed rezone will not adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare
of the citizens of the city. It will offer additional retail and personal services to the
employees in the industrial areas of the city.
V. CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION

those for the existing land use assumptions shall be mitigated at the full Corridor
Participation rate of$1960 per PM peak hour trip. The minimum benefit to the
above development is estimated at $505,680 (in 1986 dollars) based upon 22 PM
peak hour trips at $980 per PM peak trip, and 247 PM peak hour trips at the full
participation rate of$1960 per PM peak trip, entering and leaving the site and the
capacity of the South 224th/228th Street Corridor.
2. As a consequence of the significant change in land use and trip generation from the
site, the developer shall extend the exclusive eastbound right turn lane at the
intersection of South 228th Street at West Valley Highway, to provide a combined
right-turn/deceleration lane to no less than 100-feet west of any access point for this
project, including:
a) The developer shall deed sufficient right of way across the easterly frontage
of the property, on South 228th Street to widen the roadway to add a 12-foot
wide right-turn lane. This deed of right of way shall be based upon a survey
to be performed by a licensed land surveyor of the subject property and South
228th Street, and shall delineate clearly the existing public right of way, curb

foot bay taper transition] to the west of the easterly project driveway, as
measured from the point of curb return for the driveway. The minimum
width of the deceleration lane shall be 12 feet.
The construction of this right-turn/deceleration lane shall include concrete
curbs, gutters, and 6.5-foot wide concrete sidewalks. The paving section for

* The annexation boundary then goes northerly, following the existing City
boundary and then westerly, following the Green River back to the point
of beginning at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad.
III. Size of the Proposed Annexation

the area lying west of the Green River is in the King County Agricultural
Preservation Program.
There are approximately 15 single family residential dwellings in the proposed
annexation area. The estimated population is 42 persons.
V. County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
King County's Comprehensive Plan designates the proposed Green River
annexation area as follows:
East of the Green River
Open space/recreation and green. belt/urban separator.
West of the Green River
Open space/recreation and agrit.alture.
The County's zoning for this area is:

R-1 Residential - one dwelling.unit per acre
West of the Green River
A-10 Agriculture, one dwelling unit per 10 acres

VI. Kent's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
Kent's Growth Management Act Land Use Plan covers the proposed Green River
annexation. The plan's land use designation east of the river is SF-1, one
dwelling unit per acre and County owned land designated as community facility.
The plan's land use designation west of the river is"Agriculture with County
owned lands designated as community facility.
Since the area of the Green River 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.
When the Green River annexation becomes part of 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 City's 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
Plan land use designation will be placed on land in the Green River annexation
area what the implementing zoning will be.
VII. Fiscal Information
The assessed valuation for the Green River Annexation is $5,625,574.
The total estimated revenue from the annexation area is approximately $14,328
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's Annexation Policies
In 1987 the City Council adopted policies that deal with annexations (Resolution
1150). A review of those policies indicates that the Green River annexation
satisfies their intent.

Riverbend Management Study: The Golf Management Study prepared by John Hodgson was
distributed. The city purchased the Par 3, driving range, and miniature golf course in 1981. In
1989 the 18-hole golf course was constructed. Since June of 1993, S.S.M.D. has been managing
the golf course operation. In 1995 two major renovations were made: reconstruction of the
miniature golf course, known as the Riverbend Putting Links, and renovation to the driving
range. In June of 1996, the Parks Committee asked staff to put together a plan to proceed in
evaluating the current golf course operation, and to offer some options for the future operation.
The current contract with S.S.M.D. ends in December of 1997.
The two objectives are: 1.) To provide the City Council with information needed to make a
decision whether to contract out the management of the golf course, or return to city
management. And, 2.) if the decision is made to contract the management, create an agreement
allowing the city to recover its needed funds, (i.e. debt service, maintenance and operation,
capital and reserve) and allow a contractor to be successful in the operation and receive a
reasonable return for their investment.
As evidenced by the timeline provided, this information is gathered from initial research. The
only decision needed to be made at this time is to chose which options to research further.
John referred to the matrix exhibiting information gathered from a questionnaire sent to 20 or
more local cities managing golf courses. In summary, the matrix shows the majority of
municipalities contract out the golf operations. In contracting out, the Pro is paid a percentage of
the revenues. In most instances, the cities continue to provide the maintenance of their golf
facility.
Financial Information: May Miller reviewed the refinance of the 1988 revenue bonds used to
build the 18-hole golf course. This was executed to reduce the interest rates, creating a savings of
$909,543.00 and freeing up the bond reserves for capital improvements. The debt service was
restructured so that only interest payments are paid in 1996 and 1997. If revenue projections are
met, this makes 5285,000.00 in principal payments in each of these years for capital
improvements. In addition to the mini putt and driving range improvements, other capital
improvements are noted in this report. With projected revenue shortfalls in 1996, these
improvements are deferred.
In continuing the financial report, the graphs show revenues are down. The inclement weather
impacted revenue for the winter and spring of 1996. The sale of food is down also. The 9-hole
has remained steady. The driving range has dropped significantly in 1995, competition of three
new driving ranges in south King County is a major factor. Driving Range fees have dropped
due to the recent renovation of the range and local competition. It is holding lower than 1991 -
1994. Expenditures have remained consistent. Debt service will be met in 1996 and 1997, but in
1998 the principle payment is due; funding is short by $250,000.00. Other creative funding will
need to be examined. The mini putt revenue went up slightly in 1995. Merchandise sales remain
Parks Committee Meeting
September 3, 1996
Page 3
consistent, except in 1993, which reflects a close-out sale year. Cart and club rental remain
steady. Lesson fees were down slightly, also due to the range being closed for construction in
1995.
Capital Improvements: The Golf Advisory Board developed a list of improvements (listed in
report). Some items require substantial funding, while others can be accomplished in-house by
the maintenance staff. The three items on the list that require further study are:
■ New clubhouse/pro shop at driving range and par 3
■ Restaurant or banquet hall/renovation of shop area
■ Cover for miniature golf area and additional mini putt
If a study were to be conducted, it should also determine the city's ability to pay debt service. or
if these improvements should be done through the operational agreement with the contractor.
John outlined the four management options:
■ Contractor golf operations: Currently taking place at Riverbend Golf Complex.
Maintenance is provided by city staff.
■ City managed golf operations: City manages all facets of the golf complex, or certain
segments are contracted out, i.e. merchandising, food, etc.
■ Private-non profit: Seattle operates under this system. The corporation hires the staff to
manage the facility, all revenues pay for the operation of the golf course.
■ Franchise contracting: This is a unique method. All operations are franchised out. An
example is: an outside pro shop manages the pro shop, an outside restaurant/company
manages the food service operation.
John asked for direction on proceeding with the evaluation of the four management options and
how to proceed with the task force appointments. The private/non-profit option was dropped. It
was agreed to create a task force to research the options and make a recommendation to the Parks
Committee and Council. The task force will consist of two members of the Golf Advisory
Board, one member each of the Men's Club, Ladies Club and Par 3, one from City Council or
Parks Committee as ex-officio, 2-4 members of the community, Brent McFall, May Miller, and
John Hodgson. Jim Stone asked to be included on the committee; it was approved. The goal set
for the task force is to provide a recommendation either at the regularly scheduled Parks
Committee meeting in November, or a special meeting in October.

Jim Stone commended John on his concise and unbiased report. Jim presented a financial
performance report he felt was easy to understand, reflecting the bottom line. The report
displayed revenue comparisons since the city contracted with S.S.M.D. 3.5 years ago. The
summary showed revenue figures up from 1989 by S.74M. He stated that their performance is
judged solely on revenue.
To ensure success, Jim recommends:
1.) avoid fee increases
2.) review and analyze existing operating expenditures
3.) continue capital improvements; due to the need to stay competitive
He added the expenses need to be reduced and we need to tighten our belts. Jon Johnson voiced
concern that Jim's report lacked comparison of revenues, fees, and the number of rounds played.
Jim replied the figures are available through the city's finance department.
John Hodgson felt the task force might be apprehensive in their discussions regarding
contracting, if the current contractor is on the task force. Jim Stone felt his input would be
necessary and agreed to accept whatever decision is made by the task force. It was agreed that he
would be in ex-officio capacity. Leona Orr commented that staff usually does not have voting
power on committees such as this. It was agreed that city staff will also be ex-officio; the nine to
ten citizens will be the only voting members.
From the audience, Rick Rasco suggested a comparison be made of the pros and cons, not only
of the current operation contract, but also of the present maintenance operation. John confirmed
that research will include a comparison of contracting out maintenance vs in-house. He added to
keep in mind that Riverbend is much larger than other courses in the area and to keep it relative.
Judy Woods closed by confirming the task force will meet soon and will work quickly to make
their recommendation, which will be presented at the Parks Committee meeting in November, or
sooner, if possible.
Meeting adjourned at 6:10 p.m.

COMPARISON OF KENT'S .JUNK AND JUNK VEHICLE REGULATIONS WITH
FEDERAL WAY AND WASHINGTON STATE (J. Harris)
Planning Director Jim Harris explained that Federal Way had recently revised their zoning code in
order to get a better handle on junk. Mr. Harris reviewed the pertinent code sections from
Washington state, Kent and Federal Way. He states that Kent's code is more comprehensive
referring to section 8.01 as an example of Kent's detail. Mr. Harris indicated that the state has the
ability to remove an "abandoned junk vehicle" after 15 days whereas Kent processes violations
through the Hearing Examiner with an unspecific timeframe.
Assistant City Attorney Tom Brubaker stated that the Kent's code was in compliance with the state's
statutes at the time the code was written. However, the State has since relaxed the standard for
defining a "junk vehicle." The state also eliminated the requirement that a vehicle had to be without
a valid, current registration plate in order to be considered a "junk vehicle."
Code Enforcement Officer Brian Swanbera explained the current process for identifying and
enforcing the City's code involving "junk vehicles." Swanbera stated that Kent's code does not
include a definition for "inoperable" vehicles. He also identified a need to add additional verbiage
to Kent's code to address issues involving commercial vehicles parked in residential areas, residential
tractor trailer parked in yards, and how long an inoperable vehicle can be stored.

Mr. Paul Mann (former City Council member) encouraged the Committee to consider this issue and
recommend an amendment to bring Kent's code in compliance with the state regulations, as well as,
consider the language used in the Federal Way Ordinance. Mr. Mann also voiced his concern
regarding the clarity for the penalty invoked.
Chair Leona Orr questioned whether the City had the ability to actually confiscate these vehicles if
a problem arises. Swanberg explained that there could be an issue regarding inadequate staff to
comply with a shorter resolution.
Mr. Harris questioned whether this issue should be brought before the City Council Safety
Committee. Ms. Orr indicated that she would bring this item to their attention at the next safety
meeting.
Mr. Brubaker stated that under the State law the City has the right to impose the cost of reclaiming
the vehicle or towing the vehicle and storing or destroying it against either the registered owner or
the private property land owner that the vehicle was discovered or removed from. He explained that
this is not always possible when the violator doesn't have the means to pay.
Chair Leona Orr requested that the planning staff get the appropriate departments involved in this
issue and put together a proposal. She asked for the proposal to include recommended changes to
the code, any budgetary figures for any costs that would be incurred, and anv recommendation for
additional staff to enforce the code changes.
Harris pointed out that the subject would be brought back, at least for the begining of action, on the
20th of August.

PROPOSED KENT ".JUNK" ORDINANCE - (J. Harris)
Planning Director Jim Harris noted that this issue was forwarded from the previous Planning
Committee meeting. Code enforcement officer Brian Swanberg explained that the draft ordinance
brought before the committee modifies the current code to comply with State statutes and to define
"junk" vehicles.
Kent City Attorney Roger Lubovich explained that when the original ordinance was developed
Kent's code was within the State requirements; however, the State has since relaxed "junk"
regulations. The State has eliminated the requirement that ajunk vehicle must be without a current
registration to be classified as a "junk" vehicle. The State also required a "junk" vehicle to meet four
additional conditions. The State has since relaxed that requirement; a"junk" vehicle now only needs
to meet three of the four requirements.
Mr. Lubovich again explained that the draft Ordinance presented would amend Kent's code to meet
I
he current State statutes. and clean up the language of said ordinance.
Committee member Tim Clark questioned whether the requested amendments would make the code
more difficult to enforce. 'Ylr. Swanberg explained that the changes would actually make it easier
to classify "junk" vehicles and therefore make it easier to enforce.

Clark also questioned if there had been any difficulty in identifying the vehicle owners. Code
Enforcement Officer Swanberg indicated that identifying an owner can be impossible; as in an
example when a VIN# has been removed. Mr. Lubovich explained that the State regulations allow
for a vehicle to be disposed of if the legal owner is unable to be identified (as in the instance of a
removed VIN#, etc.).
Chair Leona Orr requested a cost break down of the expense the City would incur to enforce the
"junk" ordinance prior to the Committee's recommendation for final action. Planning Director Jim
Harris questioned whether this item should be brought back to the next meeting and Chair Orr
confirmed this item should be forwarded to the next Planning Committee meeting for action.
1997 - 1999 HOME INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT - (C. Sundvall)
Human Services Planner Carolyn Sundvall explained that the current three year HOME Interlocal
Cooperation Agreement (ICA) expires at the end of 1996. Ms. Sundvall explained that the only
major change from the current agreement is the inclusion of the Federally funded McKinney
Homeless Assistance Program. Previously the McKinney funds were allocated directly to agencies:
this change would allow the funds to be allocated through the HOME Consortium.
Staff recommended that the Planning Committee take the following action:
1. Recommend the approval of the 1997-1999 HOME Interlocal Cooperation
Agreement.
2. Forward this item to the full City Council for consideration at the September
3, 1996 meeting, with a recommendation that the Mayor be authorized to sign
the 1997-1999 HOME Interlocal Cooperation Agreement.
Committee member Clark asked for clarification as to the length of the HOME Interlocal
Cooperation Agreement. Sundvall explained that it is a three year agreement with an annual review
for funds. Committee member Jon Johnson MOVED and Clark SECONDED a motion to approve
the aforementioned two (2) actions. Motion carried.
1997 1999 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) INTERLOCAL
COOPERATION AGREEMENT - (C. Sundvall)
Human Services Planner Carolyn Sundvall explained that the current CDBG Interlocal Cooperation
Agreement expires at the end of 1996. Ms. Sundvall reviewed the two major changes in the new
ICA, which were outlined in the staff report memo dated August 20, 1996. Staff recommended the
Planning Committee take the following action:
1. Recommend approval of the 1997 - 1999 Community Development Block
Grant Interlocal Cooperation Agreement.

aforementioned two (2) actions. Motion carved.
DISCUSSION OF THE MANUFACTURING AND R&D TAX EXEMPTION - (L. Orr)
Chair Leona Orr discussed the issue regarding taxes that the City of Kent and other cities lose as a
direct result of the manufacturing and R&D tax exemptions given by the State. The State is in the
process of looking at ways in which to modify the Growth Management Act and is requesting
feedback from cities. At this time the Growth Management Act is set up for cities to accept annual
Comprehensive Plan Amendments. Chair Orr suggested that the City consider suggesting an
amendment to the Growth Management Act that would limit modifications to the Comprehensive
Plan to once every two or three years.
The City spends a great deal of resources processing Comprehensive Plan Amendments on an annual
basis. Orr stated that she has personally received numerous complaints from concerned citizens
regarding the unsettling issue that land use zoning designations could change from year to year.
Planning Director Jim Harris suggested that this item be brought back to the next meeting for
immediate action with a proposed recommendation from the City of Kent to the State for an
amendment to the Growth Management Act allowing two or three years between Comprehensive
Plan Amendments instead of the current annual amendment process. Chair Orr agreed to forward
this item to the next meeting.
The Committee continued to discuss related issues involving annual Comprehensive Plan
Amendments with neighboring jurisdictions and potential annexation areas and the impact of both
of these issues on Kent. The Committee questioned how the City can effectively plan for future
growth when Kent has little or no control over the planning for the potential annexation areas.
The Committee also discussed the specific issue regarding Kent's desire to preserve farmland in an
area in south Kent. The farmland area directly south of the City limits currently in King County is
being considered for commercial use. This land is in Kent's potential annexation area and would
one day become a part of Kent. The committee discussed concerns regarding the County's
consideration of amending the land use designations to allow industrial uses in an area historically
preserved for agriculture.
Committee member Tim Clark MOVED to recommend to the full council (at that evening's City
Council meeting) to direct the Mayor to write a letter directly to King County that illustrates the
concerns discussed by the Committee. These issues include the County's ability to make changes
in zoning designations in potential annexation areas without regard to the Kent's future plans and
a

the process that lacks communication between neighboring jurisdictions. The motion was
SECONDED by Committee member Jon Johnson. Motion carried.
Added Item:
9ZCA-96-4 STREAM BUFFER REQUIREMENTS - (B. Wolinski/M. Jackson)
The City is acting under a moratorium with regard to stream setback requirements within the
Meridian Annexation area. The moratorium will expire on October 1, 1996. Assistant City Attorney
Tom Brubaker explained that the Stream Buffer Ordinance must be approved by the second meeting
in September. Otherwise, the Interim Stream Buffer Ordinance will need to be extended at that time.
The Committee decided to bring this item back on September 3, 1996 for action. Committee
member Clark requested that staff provide two separate map formats: i.e. one map illustrating the
entire Soos Creek Basin and the other specific to the portions within the City limits.

1997 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM(CDBG) -(L.Houston)
Human Services Planner Carolyn Sundvall informed the Committee the total proposed 1997 CDBG
program is estimated at S576,263 and explained the relevant contingency plans. This is a thirty-two
percent(32%) increase (S139,713) from our 1996 CDBG funding level of S436,550. There are three
portions to this program. The Capital funding portion is S436.586, the Planning & Administration
funding portion is S65,428, and the Public (human) Services funding portion is S74,249.
Staff recommended that the Planning Committee take the following action:
1. Approve the proposed 1997 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program. including its contingency plan, and forward for adoption to the full
City Council.
2. Schedule a public hearing for September 17, 1996, for the full City Council
to consider adoption of the proposed 1997 CDBG Program.
Committee member Tim Clark confirmed the CDBG is Federal money that is allocated locally. He
also questioned whether the capital funds allocated to the Mental Health Housing Foundation for the
Buccheit Gardens Acquisition was a county-%wide project. Planner Carolyn Sundvall explained that
the City of Kent funding is a small portion in comparison and other cities have proposed funding for
this project.

Clark asked for further clarification relating to the YWCA of Seattle-King County Domestic
Violence Housing. Human Services Manager Lin Houston explained that the funds proposed would
cover the rent of five units for one year and some support services.
Committee member Tim Clark MOVED and Committee member Jon Johnson SECONDED the
motion to accept staff recommendations. The motion carried.
9ZCA-96-4 STREAM BUFFER REQUIREMENTS - (M. Jackson)
Planner Matt Jackson presented the Committee with maps showing the entire Soos Creek Basin
Planning Area and the City of Kent Soos Creek Basin Overlay. He explained that the Ordinance
would govern potential annexation areas covered by the drainage basin once the areas were annexed
into the City.
Assistant City Attorney Tom Brubaker discussed some language changes recommended by the
Public Works Department. The changes are as follows:
1. Page 1 - language amended to indicate the three major creeks and their
unnamed tributaries.
2. Page 11 (Definitions) - Add language to the "small livestock' definition to
further clarify the livestock densities, six (6) small livestock will be
equivalent to one large livestock.
3. Page 19 - In regard to manure storage areas add the language "6} Manure
shall not be piled within any stream buffer."
Brubaker explained that these changes do not go beyond what exists in the current King County
Stream Buffer Ordinance. Committee member Tim Clark clarified that this Ordinance would
continue the protection that King County had in place. Brubaker confirmed that Kent's Ordinance
would incorporate the same or slightly less restrictive buffer requirements that were in place in King
Countv.
Committee member Jon Johnson MOVED to send the Stream Buffer Ordinance with amended
changes discussed today to the full City Council on the September 17th for adoption. The motion
was SECONDED by Committee member Tim Clark. The motion carried.
