5
Kent City Council Minutes February 18, 1997
FIRE addendums modifying the original contract to
DEPARTMENT include Fire Administration's requests.
Due to the existing fire training tower structure
and the change in technology, the final design of
the live burn simulators had to be modified.
Fire Administration requests additional funds in
the amount of $35, 000 to meet the intent of the
project after it had been previously reduced in
scope.
Additionally, Fire Administration proposes adding
back the option which deals with the flash over
function on one of the simulators. This function
would be less costly to add at this time, yet the
overall benefit in flexibility and creating
realism warrants this request.
Both of these requests would enable the Fire
Department to meet basic training needs of
personnel and put them in a position to invite
other agencies to use the system, which would
assist in offsetting operational costs.

From: May Miller, Director of Finance \`^ .
Subject: Senior Center Roof Replacement - Budget
Authorization is requested to establish a budget of$150,000 for a replacement roof for the Senior
Center.
We have continued to have more and more problems with roof leaks and repairs on the Senior
Center roof. I have attached Charlie Lindsey's memo describing the consultant's recom-
mendations and possible reasons for the roof failure. He also outlines the solutions, the warranty
on the new roof, and the inspections we will have to make sure the roof materials are as specified
and applied per specifications.
To offset the cost, we would like to transfer the $60,000 remaining from the Kent Commons roof
project. The consultant determined that repairs could resolve Commons' problem and extend the
Commons' roof life another four years. We feel the funds could be better used on the more
serious Senior Center roof problems. We request that the balance of$90,000 come from the
unanticipated CIP fund balance. This will ensure that we protect our long term assets at the
Senior Center.
Council Action:
Authorizization to proceed and establish a budget of$150,000 to be funded with a transfer of
$60,000 fromt he unused Kent Commons roof project with the balance of$90,000 to come from
the CIP fund balance.

Date: February 11, 1997
Subject: Senior Center Reroof Project
Last summer a roofing consultant suggested that we did not need to reroof Kent
Commons but should do some repairs there and focus our efforts on reroofing the
Senior Center because it's roof has failed. The Senior Center is a ten year old building
and it is difficult to understand why it would need to be reroofed after such a short time.
The consultant believes that since it was a bid situation the contractor got a good deal
on a product that had not been fully field tested. Many of this type of roof has failed
and the manufacturer is no longer in business so there is no warranty on the materials.
This roof has been leaking for 5-7 years. Since I have had responsibility for the
building we have had a roofing company out for repairs at least 12 different times and I
feel confident that when it starts to rain again I will be calling them to do more repairs.
The consultant feels that the solution to our problem is a total tear-off and replacement
of the roof. Additionally, he determined that the siding around the cupola was rotted in
several areas and should be replaced and that some of the concrete tiles had cracked
and broken creating additional leaks. We will be using a better quality of material and
can expect a life of 15 to 20 years if the roof is maintained regularly. There will be a
10 year warranty on materials with a 2 year warranty on workmanship. The consultant
will also be providing inspection services to ensure that the materials are as specified
and are applied per the specifications.
I asked the consultant to estimate the cost of this undertaking and he has come back
with the following estimate:
Roof replacement $111,000 (11,100' @ $10/sq ft)
Inspection 7,000
Specification Preparation 5,000
Contingency 16,621
$139,621
Washington Sales Tax 11,449
Total $150,000

AGREEMENT FOR TRANSFER OF THE KENT MARKET
This Agreement is made and entered into the date fully executed below, between the CITY
OF KENT, a Washington municipal corporation, (hereinafter "City"), and KENT DOWNTOWN,
a Washington non-profit corporation, dba Kent Downtown Partnership, (hereinafter "KDP"), whose
address is P.O. Box 557, Kent, Washington 98032.
RECITALS
WHEREAS,prior to the 1995 market season,the City of Kent operated and managed
the Kent Saturday Market, now known as the Kent Market (hereinafter "Market"); and
WHEREAS, on November 2, 1994, the City of Kent entered into a management
agreement with KDP whereby KDP would manage the day-to-day operations of the Market
beginning with the 1995 market season; and
WHEREAS, KDP has asked the City to transfer ownership of the Market to KDP
with the City having a"right of first refusal" to take back ownership and management of the Market
at such time KDP desires to assign its interest in the Market or desires to stop managing the same;
and
WHEREAS, KDP further desires to contract with the City for the use of the City's
parking lot currently utilized by the Market as well as for the services currently provided to the
Market by the City;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, it
is agreed by and between the City and KDP as follows:
I. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
The Agreement for Management Services, executed November 2, 1994, attached hereto as
Exhibit A and incorporated by reference, is hereby terminated effective upon execution of this
Agreement. The parties agree that all payment obligations between the parties set forth in Exhibit
A have been fully satisfied for the 1996 season, and that neither party currently owes the other party
any monies under this Agreement for management services.
II. TRANSFER OF INTEREST IN THE MARKET
In consideration of KDP's assumption of all liability and responsibility for ownership and
operation of the Market, the City of Kent hereby transfers to KDP any and all interest it has in the
Market to KDP. Included in this transfer are the umbrellas, tables, and other equipment used for the
Market and/or stored in the storage shed situated upon the City parking lot utilized by the Market
for its operations located between Third and Fourth Avenue abutting Smith Street ("parking lot")
more particularly identified in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated by this reference. KDP
agrees to assume all responsibility and liability for the operation and management of the Market.
KDP further agrees to continue to operate the same for the purpose of providing a community market
place for the display and sale of vendor wares.
III. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
KDP hereby grants the City the right of first refusal to assume ownership and management
of the Market in the event that KDP (1) no longer desires to own and operate the Market; or (2)
desires to transfer or assign its interest and/or management responsibility in the same. The City
shall, within a reasonable time, respond to any offer made by KDP to the City to assume ownership
and management responsibility in the Market. The City, however, is under no obligation to assume
ownership and management of the Market. In the event the City exercises its right at first refusal,
it is not obligated to assume and compensate KDP for any assets acquired by KDP (including but
not limited to buildings or equipment) or assume any liabilities incurred by KDP as a result of its
ownership and management of the Market. In other words, the City may relocate the Market and
assume ownership and operation without the acquisition from KDP of after-acquired property or
equipment. In the event the City decides to acquire assets from KDP, the parties will negotiate any
purchase separately and outside the City's right to assume ownership of the Market.
IV. USE OF CITY PARKING LOT AND SERVICES
KDP desires to operate the Market on the City parking lot currently utilized by the Market
until such time as KDP obtains other facilities for the Market, as well as to secure certain services
that had been provided by the City to the Market, more specifically: garbage service, portable toilet
services, electricity, water, general maintenance and cleaning of the parking lot, and installation of
street and sign banners. The parties agree that they will enter into a separate agreement for use of
the parking lot and for the provision of services. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the
City is under no obligation to provide the parking lot and/or services to the Market and that the
Market is under no obligation to contract for the same.
2
V. STATUS OF KDP
KDP's ownership and management of the Market is that of an independent entity and not as
an agent or employee of the City. KDP shall not be subject to any oversight or supervision by the
City or an employee or agent of the City. KDP's ownership and management of the Market shall not
create any agency status with the City. The only relationship the City will have with KDP with
respect to The Market will be that as a facilities and service provider as may be established by any
service contract between the parties.
VI. INDEMNIFICATION
KDP shall indemnify,defend,and hold harmless the City,its officers,agents,employees, and
volunteers from all damages, costs, or expenses in law or equity that may at any time arise or be set
up because of damages to property or personal injury (including death) received by any reason of
or in the course of performing work which may be occasioned by any willful or negligent acts or
omissions of KDP, any of KDP's employees, agents,volunteers, or any of its subcontractors, arising
out of KDP's ownership, operation, and management of the Market.

B. Location
The subject property is located at SE 264th Street,if extended,and 110th Avenue SE,
if extended.
C. Size of Pronertv
The subdivision proposal is approximately 4.8 acres in size.
D. Zonine
The subject property is located within two zoning districts. The northern two thirds
of the site is zoned MRD, Duplex Multifamily Residential, while the southern
portion of the site is zoned SR-6, Single Family Residential with a six units per acre
maximum density. Single family residences are permitted uses within the MRD
zoning district and SR-6 zoning districts. This application does not include
multifamily housing.
E. Land Use
The City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Land Us.= Map designates the majority of the
site as Low Density Multifamily. The southern portion of the site is designated as
Single Family Residential, six units per acre maximum der.:nity. Neighboring land
uses are single family residential to the south, east, and west, and a mixture of office
and commercial uses to the north in the vicinity of Kent-Kangley Road. The
proposed development on the subject property is consistent with the comprehensive
plan land use map designations.
F. History
The subject property was annexed to the City of Kent on July 1, 1994 as part of the
Ramstead/East Hill annexation area.
A Tentative Plat meeting was held on March 13, 1996 to discuss issues regarding this
plat (#TSU-96-9). At this meeting the applicant was given proposed preliminary
conditions of approval for this plat.

II. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. Environmental Assessment
A final Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) was issued on April
11, 1996 (#ENV-96-24) subject to 14 conditions. A Revised Determination of
Nonsignificance was issued for the project on November 5, 1996. A copy of the
MDNS will be attached as a part of the record for this preliminary plat.
B. Significant Physical Features
Topography and Vegetation
The site is characterized by rolling hill terrain. The applicant estimates the steepest
slope on the site to be approximately ten percent. There are mature trees located on
the property. The developer will be required to submit a detailed tree plan for
Planning Department approval prior to any development activity or improvements
on the site.
Water
A portion of a wetland is located on the west side of the property. As a condition of
the Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance,the applicant was required to submit
a wetland delineation report and mitigation plan. The Public Works Department has
reviewed and approved a Wetland Delineation Report for this site and the project
plans reflect that approved wetland boundary and buffer.
C. Significant Social Features
1. Street System
The subject property takes its primary access via an extension of Southeast
264th Street and its secondary access from an extension of 112th Avenue
Southeast. Southeast 264th Street is classified as a Residential Street upon
the City's Master Plan of Roadways with a 32 foot wide roadway with 2
lanes. Southeast 264th Street does exist west of the 11300 block, and is
proposed to be extended to the easterly subdivision boundary of this project
in conjunction with the Mack Park subdivision. Southeast 264th Street will
need to be extended and improved to its design width in conjunction with the
3
Staff Report
Blueberry Farm
#SU-96-9
Blueberry Farm subdivision to support this development project and
continued development in the area.
The current average daily traffic (ADT) along 114th Avenue Southeast near
the Kent-Kangley Road (SR 516) is approximately 3500 vehicles. The
Blueberry Farm subdivision will add an estimated 200 daily,and 20 PM peak
hour trips to the area.
2. Water System
Water service to the site will be provided by the City of Kent.
3. Sanitary Sewer System
Sanitary sewer service will be provided by the City of Kent. The applicant
has been working with the City in an effort to provide and improve sewer
service to this site as well as neighboring properties. This includes easements
for a new interceptor line along the west side of the property.
4. Stormwater System
A stormwater system is necessary to accommodate new development. The
Public Works Department has reviewed a preliminary drainage plan
submitted by the applicants. Public Works staff has commented that it
appears the preliminary drainage plan will work and that the proposed
drain--,.�tract will be large enough to handle anticipated stormwater runoff.
Propoed Tract A will include portions of the wetland, its buffer, and
stormwater management facilities
5. LIDs
No Local Improvement Districts exist at this time.

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 Hearings 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.
KENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The City of Kent Comprehensive Plan is made up of eleven elements which contain
written goals and policies as well as a land use map. The Kent Comprehensive Plan
5
Staff Report
Blueberry Farm
#SU-96-9
Land Use Map designates the project site as LDMF, Low Density Multifamily and
SF-6, Single Family Residential, with a six units per acre maximum density.
LAND USE ELEMENT
The land use element outlines the proposed general distribution and location of
various uses of land within the planning area. The land use element is designed to
guide where and when development happens, as well as the character of Kent's
development pattern.
Goal LU-1: Designate an u-pan growth area and Potential Annexation Area which
will define the City's planning area and projected city limits for the
next 20 years.
Policy LU-1.1: Provide enough land in the City's urban growth area to
accommodate the level of household growth projected to
occur in the next 20 years.
Goal LU-8: The City of Kent adopts a 20 year housing target of 7,500 new
dwelling units within the existing city limits. Coordinate with King
County through ar, :nterlocal agreement on housing targets in the
unincorporated area within Kent's Potential Annexation Area.
Policy LU-8.1: Provide in the land use plan adequate land and densities to
accommodate both city and county targets within the
Potential Annexation Area. Average net residential
densities throughout the Potential Annexation Area should
be at least four units per acre in order ,, adequately support
urban services.
Planning Department Comment:
This proposed subdivision supports several of the goals and policies in the land use
element. The development of vacant properties inside the urban growth boundary
prevents further urban sprawl in rural areas. In addition, infill development provides
a much more efficient means of providing services and enhancing pedestrian
opportunities. The net density of this project is approximately 4.2 units per acre
which is above the minimum of four which is necessary to adequately support urban
services.

Staff Report
Blueberry Farm
#SU-96-9
One of the overall themes of the comprehensive plan is to provide a wide variety of
housing types and opportunities to accommodate projected population growth
without converting single family land to multifamily. Development of single family
subdivisions on vacant single family land is supportive of this theme.
HOUSING ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ENSURE OPPORTUNITIES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AND AN APPROPRIATE LIVING ENVIRONMENT FOR KENT CITIZENS.
Goal H-1: Promote healthy neighborhoods by providing a wide range of housing
options throughout the community that are accessible to community
and human services, employment opportunities, and transportation,
and by being sensitive to the environmental impacts of development.
Policy H-1.2: Guide new residential development into areas where
community and human services and facilities are available,
and in a manner which is compatible with the land use
element.
Polic3H-1.7: Continue to utilize regulatory measures to control impacts
of residential development on the environment and on
water quality. Review these regulations periodically to
assess their overall effectiveness and their impact on
housing cost and supply.
Planning Department Comment
This proposed subdivision supports relevant goals and policies of the housing
element. The proposed location is easily and well served by existing human services
and facilities. The potential impacts of this project have been reviewed under the
State Environmental Policy Act, and its impacts have been mitigated through a
conditional Determination of Nonsignificance. These impacts include, but are not
limited to, water quality and traffic. The provision for on site stormwater
management and a separate sensitive areas tract will protect the water quality in the
area. As mentioned elsewhere in this report,the proposed development is consistent
with the land use element including the Land Use Plan Map.

TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: PROVIDE FOR A BALANCED MULTIMODAL
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM WHICH WILL SUPPORT LAND USE
PATTERNS AND ADEQUATELY SERVE EXISTING AND FUTURE
RESIDENTIAL AND EMPLOYMENT GROWTH WITHIN THE POTENTIAL
ANNEXATION AREA.
Goal TR-1 Coordinate land use and transportation planning to meet the needs of
the City and the requirements of the Growth Management Act.
Policy TR-1.2: Coordinate new commercial and residential development
in Kent with transportation projects to improve affected
roadways.
Policy TR-1.3: Fund development of the roads necessary for a complete
arterial system serving all travel needs in the planning area
(inside and outside the City) through fair share payments
by new residential, commercial, and industrial
development.
Planning Department Comment:
Under the Growth Management Act,the City must be able to provide the necessary
infrastructure to support new development at the time it is completed. There are
existing sewer and water facilities available to serve the site, and the applicant will
be required to build a residential street to provide access. This will be a dedicated
public right of way which is integrated into the existing City road network.
The City currently has several future corridor projects which are designed to provide
better access between Kent's east hill, valley floor, and west hill areas. In addition,
these corridors will help slow additional congestion on existing east-west arterials.
Through the SEPA process,the applicant will be required to provide a traffic impact
study to identify traffic impacts upon the City of Kent road network and traffic signal
system caused by the proposed development,or execute an environmental mitigation
agreement to financially participate and pay a fair share of the cost associated with
the construction of the South 272nd/277th Street Corridor project. The Public Works
Department estimates that the proposed development will add an additional 20 PM
peak hour trips.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT
Goal ED-2: Maintain a strong policy toward balanced community development.
Policy ED-2.1: Encourage homeownership to foster stakeholders in the
community.
Policy FD-2_3: Encourage new housing development to locate closer to
existing public services.
Planning Department Comment
The proposed preliminary plat will provide eighteen additional single family home
ownership opportunities in the City of Kent. This can help foster a sense of
community as well as increase neighborhood stability. Locating new development
near existing community services drastically reduces the amount of money necessary
to provide those services, and therefore funds can be directed towards other projects.
B. STANDARDS FOR GRANTING A SUBDIVISION-
The purpose of the City of Kent Subdivision Code is to provide rules, regulations,
requirements, and standards for subdividing land in the City of Kent, insuring that
the highest feasible quality in subdivision will be attained; that the public health,
safety, general welfare, and aesthetics of the City of Kent shall be promoted and
protected; that orderly growth, development, and the conservation, protection and
proper use of land shall be insured; that proper provisions for all public facilities
(including circulation,utilities,and services)shall be made;that maximum advantage
of site characteristics shall be taken into consideration; that conformance with
provisions set forth in the City of Kent Zoning Code and Kent Comprehensive Plan
shall be insured.
Planning Department Comment
The proposed plat is in general conformance with the regulations of the Subdivision
Code. The Subdivision Code calls for right-of-way widths for cul-de-sacs to be 50
feet and the proposal is in compliance with this requirement. All proposed sewers,
water mains, and other utilities will comply with applicable City requirements. The
minimum lot size allowed for this subdivision is 5,700 square feet, and all proposed
lots meet or exceed this standard. The average size of the proposed lots is 6,578
square feet.

C. FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPMENT ON PROPOSED LOTS
Development on all lots in the proposed subdivision will be subject to Zoning Code
requirements for development in the SR 6, Single Family Residential zoning district.
Planning DUart_ment Comment
All proposed lots meet minimum lot size and width requirements. Insofar as
practical, side lot lines shall be at right angles to street lines or radial to curved street
lines. Each lot must front upon a public street or road. The size, shape, and
orientation of lot shall meet the minimum area and width requirements of the SR
district and shall be appropriate for the development of single family residences.
Corner lots may be required to be platted with additional width to allow for the
additional side yard requirements. Lots which are bordered by two (2) streets shall
be permitted access to only (1) of those streets. All lot corners at intersections of
dedicated public rights of way shall have a minimum radii of fifteen(15) feet.
D. PROPOSED FINDINGS
The Planning Department has reviewed this application in relation to the
Comprehensive Plan, proposed zoning, land use, street system, flood control
problems and comments from other departments and finds that:

the owner/subdivider shall grant a 26-foot wide access tract radial to the cul-
de-sac bulb at the location currently proposed for the "panhandle" of Lot 10.
7. The owner/subdivider shall grant a 20-foot wide sewer easement for the
construction of the planned sewer interceptor line --the alignment of which
generally runs along the westerly subdivision line of this subdivision. This
20-foot wide sewer easement shall be located between 110th Place Southeast
and the easterly boundary of the Wetland Buffer Area, in a location as
determined by the Director of Public Works.
In conjunction with this grant of easement,and to permit the construction of
the sewer line, the owner/subdivider shall grant a 100-foot wide temporary
construction easement along the westerly subdivision boundary of the
subdivision--within which is located the permanent sewer easement.
8. The City has approved the Wetland Delineation Report for this subdivision,
and the most recent submittal for an averaged wetland buffer. These revisions
are permissible, but require buffer mitigation in compliance to the City of
Kent Wetlands Management Code. The revised and approved wetland buffer
edge shall be shown on the face of the final plat. The minimum width of the
revised wetland averaged buffer shall not be less than 25 feet.
9. The owner/subdivider shall permanently protect the approved and preserved,
and/or enhanced, or created wetland(s) and it's buffer(s) by dedicating a
separate Sensitive Area Tract to the City, OR by granting a Sensitive Area
Easement to the City for the entire sensitive area. This Sensitive Area Tract
or Easement shall be consistent with the wetland and wetland buffer map
contained within the approved Wetland Delineation Report and/or approved
Wetland Mitigation Plan as appropriate, unless otherwise approved. The
owner/subdivider shall provide a legal description of said easement or tract
prepared by a licensed land surveyor, prior to issuance of any construction
permits. The Sensitive Area Tract and the following language shall be
included on the face of the recorded plat:
SENSITIVE AREA TRACTS EASEMENTS
DEDICATION OF A SENSITIVE AREA TRACTIEASEMENT CONVEYS TO THE
PUBLIC A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN THE LAND WITHIN THE TRACT. THIS
INTEREST INCLUDES THE PRESERVATION OF NATIVE VEGETATION FOR ALL

AND OCCUPIERS OF THE LAND SUBJECT TO THE TRACT/EASEMENT THE
OBLIGATION, ENFORCEABLE ON BEHALF OF THE PUBLIC BY THE CITY OF
KENT,TO LEAVE UNDISTURBED ALL TREES AND OTHER VEGETATION WITHIN
THE TRACT. THE VEGETATION WITHIN THE TRACT MAY NOT BE CUT,
PRUNED,COVERED BY FILL,REMOVED OR DAMAGED WITHOUT APPROVAL
IN WRITING FROM THE CITY OF KENT.
THE COMMON BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE TRACT/EASEMENT AND THE AREA
OF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY MUST BE MARKED OR OTHERWISE FLAGGED TO
THE SATISFACTION OF THE CITY OF KENT PRIOR TO ANY CLEARING,
GRADING,BUILDING CONSTRUCTION OR OTHER DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY.
THE REQUIRED MARKING OR FLAGGING SHALL REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL ALL
DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES IN THE VICINITY OF THE SENSITIVE AREA TRACT
ARE COMPLETED.
NO BUILDING FOUNDATIONS, STRUCTURES, FILL OR OBSTRUCTIONS
(INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DECKS, PATIOS, OUTBUILDINGS AND
OVERHANGS) ARE ALLOWED WITHIN 15 FEET OF THE SENSITIVE AREA
TRACT/EASEMENT BOUNDARY,UNLESS OTHERWISE APPROVED BY THE CITY.
10. The owner/subdivider shall submit and receive approval for required
engineering drawings, and either construct or bond for the following:
a. A gravity sanitary sewer system to serve all lots. The sewer system
shall be extended to the intersection of SE 264th Street at
108th Avenue SE, and shall be sized to serve all off-site properties
within the same service area. Specifically, the sewer system shall be
located in such a manner as to provide gravity sewer service to the
Norder and Mack properties with a connection to the existing system
in the vicinity of the aforementioned intersection. The size, location,
and dept", of this sewer line shall be as determined by the Director of
Public VN,irks. The developer shall be responsible for the equivalent
cost of an 8-inch gravity sewer to service the subdivision. If the City
constructs the sewer interceptor,the developer will be charged for the
equivalent of the cost of an 8-inch sewer line. Unless otherwise
approved by the Director of Public Works, the associated tract area
shall be improved with a 12-foot wide access road, with a maximum
longitudinal gradient of 15% over the entire length of the tract --
along with perimeter fencing and gates for access via the northerly
turnaround on 110th Place SE. Off-site easements shall be acquired,
as necessary, for these improvements.

Staff Report
Blueberry Farm
#SU-96-9
b. A water system meeting domestic and fire flow requirements for all
lots.
C. A Wetland Mitigation Plan which addresses all impacts associated
with the construction of the required temporary sanitary sewer
installation, and with the impacts associated with the approved
drainage system.
i. Approved Wetland Mitigation Plans will require the posting
of a Construction/Performance Bond equal to 125 percent of
the approved cost to construct the mitigation provisions, plus
an additional 10 percent to account for City administration
fees.
ii. The Wetland Construction Bonds will not be released until
the required 3-year monitoring program is completed and
accepted by the City of Kent.
d. A public stormwater drainage system which shows how up to the
100-year post-developed stormwater runoff from this development
will be collected, conveyed, treated, stored, and released to the City
stormwater drainage system in compliance to the Kent Construction
Standards and which also meets the more specific requirements listed
below:
i. The owner/subdivider shall construct an on-site detention
pond system in accordance with the Kent Construction
Standards to mitigate for potential impacts to stormwater
runoff quantity. The detention storage volume and release
standards to be met for this project shall be that for the
HILLS. Earthen side slopes of the pond shall be no steeper
than 3:1, although short(less than 4 feet in height) retaining
walls/weirs may be acceptable along but outside of the
dedicated Sensitive Area Tract for the wetland and its buffer,
if this structure is provided to ensure sheet flow discharge to
the adjacent wetlands.
ii. The detention pond and treatment systems shall include
release facilities that ensure sheet flow discharge across the
15
Staff Report
Blueberry Farm
#SU-96-9
adjacent wetland buffers in compliance to the requirements of
the City of Kent Wetlands Management Code.
iii. Biofiltration swales or strips, where used for water quality
treatment, shall be preceded by a diversion structure which
diverts all flows above the water quality design storm to a
level spreader facility designed to ensure sheet flow to the
adjacent wetland buffer. Biofiltration swales will not be
permitted within the sensitive area tract because these impacts
can be avoided and do not allow for sheet flow release into
the wetland buffer. The use of a level spreader at the outer
edge of the wetland buffer would be permitted,providing it is
designed as an integral part of a biofiltration strip, and
providing it includes proper mitigation (minor leveling and
planting) for that construction.
iv. Roof downspouts for each building shall be directed to Roof
Downspout Infiltration Trenches meeting the requirements of
the Stormwater Management Manual for the Puget Sound
Basin, except that overflow pipes shall be connected to an
approved conveyance system. The following note shall be
contained on the face of the final plat:
AS A CONDITION OF BUILDING PERMIT ISSUANCE,
RESIDENCES CONSTRUCTED ON LOTS OF THIS
SUBDIVISION MUST PROVIDE ROOF DOWNSPOUT
INFILTRATION TRENCH SYSTEMS PER DETAILS
SHOWN ON THE APPROVED STORMWATER PLANS.
V. The required downstream analysis for this development will
include an analysis for capacity, erosion potential, and water
quality from the point of discharge from the subject site
downstream to the point where stormwater discharges to the
City of Kent stormwater drainage system,or for a distance of
one-quarter mile,whichever is further. The owner/subdivider
shall identify all downstream reaches which do not have the
capacity to carry the 100-year, 24-hour peak design flow rate.
Should downstream capacity be insufficient to convey the 25-
year, 24-hour peak flow rate, the owner/subdivider shall
either provide necessary off-site improvements (and
16
Staff Report
Blueberry Farm
#SU-96-9
easements or drainage releases/waivers where necessary), OR
further detain/retain stormwater and restrict the release rate of
stormwater to ensure that the capacity of the existing
conveyance system will not be exceeded. Similarly, should
an erosion problem be exacerbated by the proposed release
conditions, then the owner/ subdivider will have to further
restrict the release of stormwater from this development.
vi. Approved Detailed Drainage Plans will include the
requirement to install approved anti-dumping, storm drainage
markings adjacent to all catch basins and/or drains within the
entire site and immediately adjacent to the site on public
right-of-ways.
vii. Approved Detailed Drainage Plans will include a posted
Construction Bond for all work contained within both
Detailed Drainage Plans and Temporary
Erosion/Sedimentation Control Plans.
viii. A Landscape Plan for within and surrounding the detention
facility shall be submitted to the Kent Planning Department
and the Department of Public Works for concurrent review
and approval prior to approval of the Detailed Drainage Plans.
ix. As-built drainage plans for the entire site meeting the
requirement of Appendix E of the Construction Standards
shall be prepared by a professional land surveyor licensed by
the State of Washington and approved by the City prior to
release of any Construction Bonds.
X. Approved Detailed Drainage Plans may require acquisition of
either: off-site public drainage easements.
e. A Detailed Grading Plan for the entire Subdivision, including
provisions for streets, utilities, and a constructed building pad for
every lot. This Detailed Grading Plan shall meet the requirements of
the City of Kent Construction Standards and shall be consistent with
the required Detailed Tree Plan.
17

i. The Grading Plan will require an approved Soils Report
which includes specific provisions for:the proposed detention
pond system;the long-term stability of all slopes steeper than
2:1; and Roof Downspout Infiltration Trench design
parameters.
ii. The Grading Plan will reflect the approved Tree Plan and
clearly show which trees are designated to remain upon
completion of grading.
f. The owner/subdivider shall submit a Detailed Tree Plan for the
general site, for the roadway, and for all individual lots showing all
trees six inches in diameter or greater, and their relationship to any
proposed structures. This plan must be approved by the Kent
Planning AND Public Works Departments prior to approval and
construction of the final roadway design and prior to the issuance of
a development permit for any lot. No trees of six inch caliper or
greater shall be removed from any lot except to a tree plan approved
by the Kent Planning Department.
g. A Temporary Erosion/Sedimentation Control Plan for the entire
subdivision which appropriately reflects the Detailed Grading Plan

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.
SUMMARY OF PROCEDURE
A public hearing was held on January 8, 1997,in the City of Kent Council Chambers. The Hearing
Examiner asked openly if anyone present other than the applicant and the city had any comments,
questions or concerns. No one other than the city and the applicant's representatives had any
testimony or evidence to present on this application. The application was then scheduled for an
abbreviated public hearing.
Just prior to the public hearing, the applicant's attorney requested an opportunity to attempt to
resolve some issues with the City prior to going on the hearing record. The Examiner granted this
request. After discussion outside the hearing room, the city and the applicant returned with a
conceptual agreement as to the conditions to be placed on an approval of the application. The City
Public Works Department agreed to provide a detailed written description of the agreed conditions
to the applicant's attorney for review and comment by January 13th. The applicant's attorney agreed
to respond to the written conditions by January 17th. If the proposed conditions were acceptable to
the city and the applicant, the Examiner agreed to adopt them as part of this recommendation
(assuming consistency with applicable laws and ordinances). The Hearing Examiner agreed to keep
the record open until January 17th for the limited purpose of receiving a detailed modified list of
conditions to be applied to an approval of this application.
The City did provide the list of conditions and the applicant did respond by January 17th. The
response by the applicant suggested some changes to the City's proposal. The City indicated on the
applicant's response in a note dated January 21 st that the suggested changes were consistent with its
intent. The record is now closed and the Hearings Examiner is required to issue Findings and
Conclusions within 10 days of the close of the record based on information provided to him.

Hearing Examiner Findings and Recommendation
Blueberry Farm
#SU-96-9
FINDINGS
1. The owners of the property proposed for subdivision are Ekhard Preikschat and James
Crozier of Bellevue, Washington. The applicant is RN Parnell Company of Issaquah,
Washington. Exhibit 1, Application. The applicants were represented at the public hearing
by Mr. Dick Chapin, Attorney at Law.
2. The property proposed for subdivision is located at 264th Street, if extended, and 110th
Avenue SE, if extended. Exhibit 1, Staff Report; Exhibit 3, Site Plan.
3. The property is 4.8 acres. The applicant proposes twenty single family lots with the smallest
lot of 5,760 square feet. The applicant submitted a site plan dated December 12, 1996,that
shows all lots in conformance with minimum lot size requirements. Exhibit 3, Site Plan.
4. The property is zoned on the northern two-thirds as MRD,Duplex Multifamily Residential.
The southern portion of the site is zoned SR6,Single Family Residential with a 5,700 square
foot minimum lot size. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates most of the
property as Low Density Multifamily. The southern portion of the site is designated as SF
6, Single Family Residential with six dwelling units per acre. Exhibit 1, Staff Report.
5. Land use all around the property proposed for subdivision is single family residential with
the exception of a mixture of office and commercial uses to the north near Kent-Kangley
Road. Site View; Exhibit 1, Staff Report.
6. There are several significant trees of 6-inch caliper or greater on the property. Many of these
trees can be preserved to enhance the aesthetic value of the area as well as help control
stormwater runoff and water quality. A tree retention plan has not yet been submitted to the
City. Exhibit 1, Staff Report.
7. A portion of a wetland is located on the site near the west side. The wetland serves a limited
functional purpose of minimal stormwater retention. A wetland assessment and conceptual
mitigation plan has been prepared. The plan provides the information the city needs to
mitigate impacts to these wetlands. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 3; Testimony of Mr.
Jackson.
8. The site would be accessed off of SE 264th Street which is classified as a Residential
Collector that carries less than 2,000 vehicle trips per day. The street has a public
right-of-way of 32 feet and a paved width for two lanes. A secondary access will be
available from 114th Avenue SE near the Kent-Kangley Road. The average daily traffic on
this road is about 3,500 vehicles per day. The traffic impacts from the proposed
3
Hearing Examiner Findings and Recommendation
Blueberry Farm
#SU-96-9
development would be 20 PM Peak Hour trips per day. Exhibit 1,MDNS. This increase in
number of vehicles will contribute to the congestion of surrounding streets if no
improvements are made to those streets. Improvements should include street widening,
lighting, drainage and walkways. The applicant has agreed to mitigate traffic impacts
associated with the proposed development. Exhibit 1, MDNS(There was no appeal of the
MDNS); Exhibit 3, Revised Site Plan; Exhibits 4& 5 (Agreed Conditions).
9. The City of Kent water system and sanitary sewer system can be extended to each lot.
Exhibit 1, Staff Report.
10. The environmental review for this application resulted in a conclusion by the City's
Responsible Official that the project has no probable significant adverse impacts on the
environment that cannot be mitigated. A final Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance
(MDNS)was issued for the proposed subdivision on February 7, 1996 pursuant to the State
Environmental Policy Act. It was not appealed by the applicant or any citizen. The
conditions of mitigation address several areas of environmental concern including traffic
impacts, stormwater detention facilities, mitigation of impacts to wetland areas and
dedication of land for utilities and streets. Exhibit 1, MDNS.
11. Public notice of this application was given by posting, publication and mailing. Exhibit 1,
Affidavits of Harris and Holden.
12. Just prior to the public hearing,the applicant's attorney requested an opportunity to attempt
to resolve some issues with the City prior to going on the hearing record. The Examiner
granted this request. After discussion outside the hearing room, the city and the applicant
returned with a conceptual agreement as to the conditions to be placed on an approval of the
application. The City Public Works Department agreed to provide a detailed written
description of the agreed conditions to the applicant's attorney for review anti comment by
January 13th. The applicant's attorney agreed to respond to the written conditions by
January 17th. An agreement on conditions was reached. Exhibits 4 & 5, Memorandums
Between City and Applicant's Attorney.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to hold a public hearing on this application; to
consider all evidence presented at the public heating;and,based on that evidence,to present
a recommendation to the City Council to approve,disapprove or approve with conditions the
preliminary plat application. RCW 58.17, KCC 12.04.360, KCC 2.32.090.

off-site property as the City has required to use such line.
The property owner shall grant a 35-foot-wide temporary construction easement
adjacent to and easterly of the east boundary of Tract A until a complete application
is filed for a building permit on any of the lots on which the said temporary easement
encroaches whereupon the temporary easement shall automatically, without any
further action on the part of the property owner be reduced in width to the westerly
most 15 feet of said easement on the affected lot. Within 60 days after the automatic
reduction in width, the City shall remove all equipment and construction material
from that portion of the vacated easement and shall restore the easement area to
substantially the same condition as existed prior to the grading of the easement.
8. The City has approved the Wetland Delineation Report for this subdivision, and the

Hearing Examiner Findings and Recommendation
Blueberry Farm
#SU-96-9
DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH 7 OF THE CONDITIONS OF PRELIMINARY
PLAT APROVAL. DEDICATION OF A SENSITIVE AREA TRACT CONVEYS
TO THE PUBLIC A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN THE LAND WITHIN THE
TRACT. THIS INTEREST INCLUDES THE PRESERVATION OF NATIVE
VEGETATION FOR ALL PURPOSES THAT BENEFIT THE PUBLIC HEALTH,
SAFETY AND WELFARE, INCLUDING CONTROL OF SURFACE WATER
AND EROSION, MAINTENANCE OF SLOPE STABILITY, VISUAL AND
AURAL BUFFERING, AND PROTECTION OF WATER QUALITY, PLANT

IMPOSES UPON ALL PRESENT AND FUTURE OWNERS AND OCCUPIERS
OF THE LAND SUBJECT TO THE TRACT THE OBLIGATION,
ENFORCEABLE ON BEHALF OF THE PUBLIC BY THE CITY OF KENT, TO
LEAVE UNDISTURBED ALL TREES AND OTHER VEGETATION WITHIN
THE TRACT. THE VEGETATION WITHIN THE TRACT MAY NOT BE CUT,
PRUNED, COVERED BY FILL, REMOVED OR DAMAGED WITHOUT
APPROVAL IN WRITING FROM THE CITY OF KENT.
THE COMMON BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE TRACT AND THE AREA OF
DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY MUST BE MARKED OR OTHERWISE FLAGGED
TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE CITY OF KENT PRIOR TO ANY
CLEARING, GRADING, BUILDING CONSTRUCTION OR OTHER
DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY. THE REQUIRED MARKING OR FLAGGING
SHALL REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL ALL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES IN
THE VICINITY OF THE SENSITIVE AREA TRACT ARE COMPLETED.
NO BUILDING FOUNDATIONS, STRUCTURES, FILL OR OBSTRUCTIONS
(INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DECKS, PATIOS, OUTBUILDINGS
AND OVERHANGS)ARE ALLOWED WITHIN 15 FEET OF THE SENSITIVE
AREA TRACT BOUNDARY, UNLESS OTHERWISE APPROVED BY THE
CITY.
10. The owner/subdivider shall submit and receive approval for required engineering
drawings, and either construct or bond for the following:
a. Separate and apart from the construction of a sewer interceptor line by the
City, a gravity sanitary sewer system to serve all of the lots in this plat and
all off-site properties within the same service area as defined by the City.
The sewer system shall be extended to the intersection of SE 264th Street at
108th Avenue SE. Specifically, the sewer system shall be located in such a
manner as to provide gravity sewer service to the Norder and Mack properties
with a connection to the existing system in the vicinity of the aforementioned
9
Hearing Examiner Findings and Recommendation
Blueberry Farm
#SU-96-9
intersection. The size, location, and depth of this sewer line shall be as
determined by the Director of Public Works. The developer shall be
responsible for the equivalent cost of an 8-inch gravity sewer to service the
subdivision. If the City constructs the sewer interceptor, the developer will
be charged for the equivalent of the cost of an 8-inch sewer line. Unless
otherwise approved by the Director of Public Works,the associated tract area
shall be improved with a 12-foot wide non-paved access road, with a
maximum longitudinal gradient of 15%over the entire length of the tract for
maintenance in accordance with City construction standards.
b. A water system meeting domestic and fire flow requirements for all lots.
C. A Wetland Mitigation Plan which addresses all impacts associated with the
construction of the required temporary sanitary sewer installation, and with
the impacts associated with the approved drainage system.
i. Approved Wetland Mitigation Plans will require the posting of a
Construction/ Performance Bond equal to 125 percent of the
approved cost to construct the mitigation provisions, plus an
additional 10 percent to account for City administration fees.
ii. The Wetland Construction Bonds will not be released until the
required 3-year monitoring program is completed and accepted by the
City of Kent.
d. A public stormwater drainage system which shows how up to the 100-year
post-developed stormwater runoff from this development will be collected,
conveyed, treated, stored, and released to the City stormwater drainage
system in compliance to the Kent Construction Standards and which also
meets the more specific requirements listed below:
i. The owner/subdivider shall construct an on-site detention pond
system in accordance with the Kent Construction Standards to
mitigate for potential impacts to stormwater runoff quantity. The
detention storage volume and release standards to be met for this
project shall be that for the HILLS. Earthen side slopes of the pond
shall be no steeper than 3:1,although short(less than 4 feet in height)
retaining walls/weirs may be acceptable along but outside of the
dedicated Sensitive Area Tract for the wetland and its buffer, if this
structure is provided to ensure sheet flow discharge to the adjacent
wetlands.
10
Hearing Examiner Findings and Recommendation
Blueberry Farm
#SU-96-9
ii. The detention pond and treatment systems shall include release
facilities that ensure sheet flow discharge across the adjacent wetland
buffers in compliance to the requirements of the City of Kent
Wetlands Management Code.
iii. Biofiltration swales or strips,where used for water quality treatment,
shall be preceded by a diversion structure which diverts all flows
above the water quality design storm to a level spreader facility
designed to ensure sheet flow to the adjacent wetland buffer.
Biofiltration swales will not be permitted within the sensitive area
tract because these impacts can be avoided and do not allow for sheet
flow release into the wetland buffer. The use of a level spreader at
the outer edge of the wetland buffer would be permitted,providing it
is designed as an integral part of a biofiltration strip constructed
within the wetland buffer, and providing it includes proper mitigation
(minor leveling and planting) for that construction.
iv. Roof downspouts for each building shall be directed to Roof
Downspout Infiltration Trenches meeting the requirements of the
Stormwater Management Manual for the Puget Sound Basin, except
that overflow pipes shall be connected to an approved conveyance
system. The following note shall be contained on the face of the final
plat:

Year End Reports: John Hodgson encouraged the Parks Committee to read through
the Year-end reports to see the incredible accomplishments the Parks and Recreation
Department had in 1996. He accented the Adopt-a-park program, which accepted
$198,445.00 in grants, donations, in-kind and volunteer work hours in 1996 that allowed
improvements to parks with no tax payer's money used.
Riverbend Golf Complex Management Study Report: John Hodgson began by
introducing some of the Task Force members attending the Parks meeting.
May Miller, Director of Finance, explained the new IRS issuance of the Final Activity
Bond Regulation. There are six options that need to be reviewed which impact the
contract for operating the Riverbend Golf Complex (see attachment). The committee
and staff felt strongly that the new options should be looked at, in conjunction with the
review of the Golf Course operation.
The committee agreed to hold a special meeting on February 18, to further discuss any
effects the new IRS regulations may have on the Riverbend Golf Complex. Also on the
agenda will be additional discussion on the KDP/Kent Market issue.
John Hodgson hopes to have Council action on the management study of the
Riverbend Golf Complex at the March 4, City Council meeting.

MEMORANDUM
To: May Miller
John Hodson
FROM: Richard B. KutgtO
DATE: February 4, 1997
SUBJECT: Final Private :activity Bond Regulations
On January l0, 1997, the Internal Revenue Service issued final private activity bond regulations,
which modify the proposed regulations first issued on December 30, 1994. These regulations
apply to the Ciry's Golf Course because the City has financed various aspects of the Golf Course
with the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds. The City, in fact, has promised the owners of the 1981
LTGO Bonds, the 1988 Revenue Bonds and the 1995 LTGO Bonds that it will (i) take whatever
steps are necessary to preserve the tax-exempt status of these Bonds and (ii) take no steps that
jeopardize or harm the tax-exempt status of these Bonds. As the City has observed previously.
thus, it must ensure that any contract for the private operation of the Golf Course must follow the
regulations for management contracts to ensure the interest on these three issues remains tax-
exempt.
As under the existing, general rules on compensation paid by the City to the service provider. no
compensation may be based, in whole or in part, on a share of net profits fTom the operation of
the Golf Course. The final regulations essentially provide a trade-off between the length of the
contract and the amount of the service provider's compensation that can be variable (presumaoiy
depending on gross revenues): the longer the contract the smaller the amount of compensation
that can be variable. The final regulations do provide for payment to service provide: of
"productivity reward" that is equal to stated dollar amount based on increases in gross revenues
or reductions in total expenses (but not both) in any annual period in the term of the contract.
There are six types of management contracts permitted under the final regulations, one of which
are not applicable to the Golf Course. Described below are the alternatives that are available to
the City:
1. If at least 95% of compensation to the service provider for each annual period during term of
contract is based on periodic fixed fee, the term of the contract (including renewal options)
can not exceed the lesser of 90% of the reasonably expected useful life of the Golf Course
and 15 years;

Dear Council Member,
In 1993 Kent Downtown Partnership (KDP) entered into the
agreement to manage the Kent Saturday Market. We did so with
the understanding that eventually KDP would undertake the sole
responsibility of managing the Market.
KDP is now in a position to assume full responsibility for the Market
and proposes to assume that responsibility on March, 1 1997.
We have been working with City staff to prepare a service contract
with the City (for garbage - portable toilets - etc.), and a transfer of
property (umbrellas - tables - etc.). A clause will be included that,
in the case KDP is no longer in a position to manage the Market,
the City will have first right of refusal.
Thank you for your consideration and support.
Sincerely,
Charles Turner, President

# ZCA-96-5 =D USE ZONING - (K. O'Neill)
Senior Planner Kevin O'Neill explained that mixed use development is a mixture of residential and
commercial uses together in the same building or on the same site. The concept of mixed use
development in the City of Kent was first introduced in the 1989 Downtown Plan. The
Comprehensive Plan which was adopted in 1995 established areas that were designated as mixed
use.
Mr. O'Neill explained that the area designated as mixed use on the east hill is limited in that
residential development is only allowed when it is a part of a mixed use development. Stand alone
residential development would be allowed outright in the other mixed use areas.
Mr. ONeill stated that mixed use development is a new concept. The City hired a consultant. Mark
Hinshaw, to help with the implementation. Mr. Hinshaw is an architect and an urban design and
planning consultant.
Consultant Mark Hinshaw explained that single district regulations have been dominant for the last
50 years. He stated that this makes it difficult to establish comfortable and compatible mixed uses.
Mr.Hinshaw remarked that it is important to develop a certain character of development to eliminate
the possibility of negative impact from the different uses.
Mr. Hinshaw explained the different options the City has to establish mixed use development. The
first option is to amend current zoning that exists in the mixed use areas to permit residential uses.
The second option is to create a new zoning district, rezone all the areas, and develop a new set of
rules to go by. The disadvantage to boththose options is that we're assuming mixed use would be
appropriate in all the areas. There are some established patterns in some of the areas that are not
immediately conducive to residential living,.

City Council Planning Committee Minutes
February 4, 1997
The third option which was approved by the Land Use and Planning Board was focused on the idea
of creating overlay districts that introduce this concept, selectively apply it, and tailor it to areas that
are more conducive to mixing commercial and residential uses. The development community can
start to move in that direction. Mr. Hinshaw explained that in time the City could expand the overly
district to cover more areas.
Mr. Hinshaw stated that in order to promote mixed use development some key concepts had to be
considered. One would be to eliminate the need for a conditional use permit. Developers are
discouraged from initializing a mixed use development when there exists an uncertainty as to
whether a conditional use permit would be approved or not.
He also explained that establishing an incentive system to encourage adding residential uses to a
commercial development. Mr. Hinshaw clarified that the "incentive"would in no way discourage
stand alone commercial. Mixed uses allow for a greater efficiency in the use of parking. It's
possible to have a reduction in parking requirements.
Finally, the key concept is to add to the quality of the community, building a new form of
neighborhood, a new choice of living. The best way to ensure a certain quality of development is
by establishing a layer of design guidelines and an administrative design review process. This would
assure that as the new projects are proposed they go through a process of scrutiny and evaluation so
you can tailor the development to fit the individual attributes of each project.
Mr. Hinshaw described some of the key attributes of the proposed code. Establish two overlay
districts. Overlay district A would incorporate the north and west of downtown and B would be the
area on East Hill. As described in the Comprehensive Plan, overlay district A would allow
multifamily development outright, either free standing, part of a commercial development, or part
of a commercial building. However, overlay district B on the East Hill will not allow residential
development unless it is proposed as a part of a mixed use development.
Mr. Hinshaw explained the concept of floor area ratio (FAR) and gave an example of how the
concept could be used to encourage mixed used development. Committee member Tim Clark
questioned what would happen if a existing commercial development wanted to expand and added
a guard shack to the property and called it a mixed use development.
Mr. Hinshaw explained that the guardshack would have to fit the definition of what constitutes a
resident. The addition of residential uses on a property would need to be significant to affect the
amount of FAR that would be increased for the commercial component.
Committee member Clark voiced his concern regarding intense traffic patterns during peak hours.
Mr. Hinshaw explained that there tends to be problems in very intense urban areas. The commercial
traffic is generally the cause of peak hour congestion not so much the residential.

City Council Planning Committee Minutes

Committee member Clark questioned the safety issue mixing residential uses that would bring
families to commercial areas. Mr. Hinshaw explained that the residential uses would appeal to
seniors, singles and young couples. He explained that it may be a long while before conventional
families perceive this kind of environment for families.
Committee member Clark questioned if there were any significant issues regarding insurance claims.
Mr. Hinshaw explained that he wasn't aware of anything and asked Committee member Clark for
an example. Committee member Clark explained that he was referring to robbery, cross use of
plumbing facilities, security issues, fire hazards, etc.
Mr.Hinshaw explained that mixed use will immediately trigger different sections of the building and
fire code to be brought into play. He stated that developers will bb hit with a wrath of other
applicable codes that are already in place.
Mr. Hinshaw stated that he has heard a lot of evidence indicating that when uses are mixed together
the crime tends to decrease in the area. He attributed the decrease in crime to having more eyes
watching.
He explained the idea of a bonus program for establishing basic height limits and mitigating a greater
allowance when the development adds specific amenities. Setbacks could be eliminated except to
accommodate a front sidewalk or when the development is adjacent to a residential zone. A more
complex parking standard could be developed to accommodate the overlapping uses.
Mr. Hinshaw presented different sketches of possible development options. He displayed examples
of the standard commercial building with surface parking, and ideas of mixing the different uses
between separate buildings, as well as, on separate floors in the same building.
Mr. O'Neill explained the proposed criteria to be used in designating the boundaries of the mixed
use overlay areas. The criteria was outlined in the October 28 staff report.
Mr. O'Neill stated that mixed use development is allowed at this time through a conditional use
permit process. He explained that the overlay areas could be expanded if the mixed use development
guidelines work in the smaller targeted areas.
Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom explained that it was not clarified through the Land Use and
Planning Board recommendation what to do with the existing conditional use permit that would
allow mixed use development. Fred stated that it is staff's recommendation to eliminate the
conditional use permit that would allow for mixed use outside of the overlay areas.
Chair Leona Orr questioned if requiring a conditional use permit delayed the application process.
Fred explained that a conditional use permit does require the applicant to go through the Hearing
Examiner process.
City Council Planning Committee Minutes
February 4, 1997
Mr. O'Neill explained the following steps necessary to implement mixed use zoning:
Amend the zoning code to implement a mixed use overlay boundary
Amend the zoning code to allow mixed use development within the overlay.
Limit the overlay area on East Hill so residential development would only be
permitted as part of a mixed use development
Amend the zoning code to adopt amended development standards within the
designated mixed use overlay(FAR,building height,lot coverage,off-street parking,
and set backs)
Amend the zoning code to require that new development within the mixed use
overlay be reviewed through an administrative design review process.
Mr. Hinshaw presented a brief slide show displaying existing mixed use development from other
local jurisdictions.
