Artis�Signature Date ARTIST'S STATEMENT The city of Kent has a story of transformation. Once it was a largest farming community in the area with many Japanese and Italian truck farmers and then it became a large industrial park with Boeing as one of the most prominent figures. Today it keeps redefining itself as new blood continues to flow into this community. Given the rich history of this place,I am proposing a meditative and interactive place using form, texture and light I have taken the idea of a Japanese rock garden where the microcosm is meant to reflect the universe, stillness, introspection. The artwork of this space is intended to provoke reflection,both literally and metaphorically as people pass by on the way to take care of their daily business. The idea of setting the tessellated cells in the context of a Japanese screen makes another obvious reference to the Japanese community but the reference ends there.These tiles or "parquet deformations" are meant to represent the thought that the diverse individuals and ideas build and direct our community.We each build up barriers around us and construct our own alliances in order to protect ourselves. Yet when we take a larger view of our community, we realize that the we regroup and shift our conceptual boundaries in order to form and function as a greater whole. Much in the same way that individual cells make up a more complex organism,the individual cell or tiles of this piece are each individuals in that each is capable of tiling a plane by joining with itself. But we,like these regular tessellations must experience a dimensional change in order to create a temporal progression, or change over time. Our collective consciousness is connected by time and extended by each new experience. Once viewed as a community of individuals its impossible to visually split off independent units. New groupings form, change, disband and regroup into new formations.The expansion of the human spirit moves through time and has meaning. �� �� ua J Q _. ,�� J ��^� i i �\�J y ... . .. ........ .

SUBJECT: TREE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT - ACCEPT 2 . SUMMARY STATEMENT: Accept the tree replacement proposal from Puget Sound Energy to be implemented over a five-year period. Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has identified 214 trees which are growing under, or adjacent to, overhead power lines which pose a threat to public safety and service interruption. PSE has proposed to remove these trees and provide the City with replacement trees which will not cause a continued threat. Staff has reviewed the request and identified issues for con- sideration. The pruning of these 214 trees will be performed by PSE as needed on an interim basis to maintain service reliability and public safety. 3 . EXHIBITS: Background information is attached 4 .

EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $ None SOURCE OF FUNDS: Puget Sound Energy 7 . CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Councilmember moves, Councilmember seconds DISCUSSION• ACTION• Council Agenda Item No. 3E Tree Removal and Replacement - Background Information In October of 1994, a Street Tree Program was prepared for the City of Kent by Hough, Beck, and Baird .(landscape architects) and Urban Forestry Services, Inc. In this report, 264 trees were identified for removal and replacement due to conflict with overhead lines or damage to sidewalks and curbs. The City of Kent has taken action on this recommendation with an aggressive street tree and sidewalk replacement program. Many of the trees that remain to be replaced are the same trees identified by PSE on the attached list. Any tree in conflict with an overhead line is pruned in a ten foot diameter "zone" around the line to maintain safety and service reliability. Years of pruning have taken toll on the shape and structure of the trees. Many are weak as evidenced by the severe breakage during the Christmas, 1996 storm. PSE has funds available for replacement trees if we take action this year. PSE can not guarantee that funds will be available in future years. Issues: 1. Trees provide beauty, color, shade, screening, and habitat within the city. the initial impact of removal of 214 trees would be devastating, until the replacement trees mature. The replacement trees will never reach the height and breadth of the existing trees. Negative reactions by our citizens would be expected. 2. Many of the trees are being burnt due to contact with the lines. 3. Uncertainty of available funds or staff resources to proceed with the planting of replacement trees. PSE will remove the trees and provide the trees for replacement. The City of Kent would be responsible to remove the stumps and plant the replacement trees. 4. Timing needs to be coordinated with the sidewalk replacement. It would not be a wise use of PSE funds or City resources to replace the trees and remove them in the future for sidewalk repairs. PSE has offered to hold the replacement trees in a nursery for us until the timing is right, with the City of Kent paying for annual maintenance of the trees. 5. It may be possible for PSE to calculate a value of the replacement trees, and enter into an agreement with the City to implement the program using these funds in the most efficient manner that accomplishes the objective. Page -1- Alternatives: ■ relocating overhead lines underground to maintain the existing street trees. ■ continual pruning to maintain the clearance needed for safety and reliability ■ removal and replacement with an appropriate species ■ removal without replacement Relocating lines underground is extremely costly. Pruning is an annual maintenance concern. Replacement with an appropriate species is the most cost effective alternative. Staff Recommendation: Implement the removal and replacement program over a five year period (approximately 40 trees per year) to coordinate with sidewalk replacement. Direct Parks and Recreation Department staff in cooperation with the City of Kent Engineering Department and Puget Sound Energy to assess annually and prepare and implement a removal and replacement program.

We have made contact with the carrier as the renewal billing did not indicate liability limits or physical damage values, and our investigation revealed their valuation was only$5,000.00. Mike DeHart and Al Bond have both assisted in the search for any value information that would support a value closer to a$20,000 or$25,000 range. Mike researched all his fire department antique and collector guides. We contacted the Last Resort Fire Company, but to date we have not found a creditable source for proof of value in this range. Another way of proving such values would be to produce copies of the expenditures,which total close to $18,000,that we incurred in refurbishing this unit a few years ago. All conversations to date have come to the conclusion that we can not produce those receipts nor can we document with publications the estimated value of$25,000 suggested by Mike DeHart in his E-mail of June 4, 1997. We do have options that could be considered. One would be to declare a value and self-insure as any other vehicle or equipment through Equipment Rental. A second would be to renew with Maryland for the same $5,000 value. But this is not recommended since we are paying for liability that we already have and we can not prove a higher value to meet our cost of refurbishing. We are unable to prove the values. I recommend that we simply declare a value and agree to self-insure through our "small loss handling fund". This fund was established through the Council as a means of tracking such losses less than the deductible or for which there is not other insurance. I am asking the Operations Committee to approve insurance coverage for the 1940 SeaGrave Fire Engine through the property small loss handling fund. CHATWIN, KEN /.

Funding for the remainder of 1997 will be covered through salary savings and plan check revenue. If approved the position would be included in the 1998 budget.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS July 9, 1997 TO: Brent McFall FROM: Don Wickstrom' . RE: Neighborhood Traffic Control Program Attached is Ed's memo describing what the staffing and budget requirements are to address the tremendous growth we have experienced per resolving Neighborhood Traffic Control issues. I think Ed has put forth a reasonable and responsible effort and I support same. Please review the request and advise me of your concerns or conclusion. As far as the funding, it appears that for the balance of this year, our existing Engineering budget may be adequate to cover the expense due to some unforeseen vacancies and more plan check revenue then was budgeted. It's obvious however that per the '98 budget, it will mean an additional General Fund expense. M201.97 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS May 9, 1997 TO: Don Wickstrom, Director of Public Works FROM: Ed White, Transportation Engineering Supervisorg,--- RE: Neighborhood Traffic Control Program Coordinator Position Request I am writing to request your consideration for creating one full time permanent position and upgrading an existing Traffic Specialist position within the Transportation Section. I have enclosed draft position descriptions for your review. Since 1980 the City of Kent has devoted considerable resources to resolving neighborhood concerns. Over the last five years with the tremendous growth in the City's population problems in neighborhoods have increased to the point where our resources are being stretched beyond their limits. It is for this reason that staff is making this request. At present these responsibilities are being divided between myself and John Bond, Traffic Specialist. Last year along John and I spent over 700 hours working with neighborhood all over the City; conducting meetings, collecting data and designing programs to address citizen concerns. In order to better meet the needs of the community, staff invited Karen Gonzales, coordinator for the City of Bellevue, to come down to Kent and share her experiences with us. Based upon the information she provided staff revised our program. The most significant change was to request additional staff to work on providing a more comprehensive program which would include a closer working relationship with the Police Department. There are two important advantages for taking action at this time. The first relates to the two most recent annexations. Staff has already started receiving request for service in these areas. At present there is a waiting period for initial meetings with new neighborhoods of about two months. Follow-up meetings are being scheduled as time will permit. A full time coordinator would reduce the waiting time significantly for new neighborhoods and allow staff to complete the necessary data collection and program development need to provide a timely response to the neighborhoods. The second reason relates to staff s ability to provide adequate design for necessary improvements. This is also an area where staff resources are also limited. Our plan is to upgrade John Bond's position to an Engineer I, and assign him the responsibility of .planning and designing recommended physical improvements based upon staff investigations and recommendations. Data collection activities currently being done by John would be partially shifted to the NTCP Coordinator. By adding this position and reassigning these responsibilities to the Traffic Specialist position, this will give staff the needed resources to plan, coordinate, and implement a wide range of safety improvements in a manner consistent curfent City standards. I can provide you with additional information or explanation if needed. Neighborhood Traffic Control Program Coordinator Position General Purpose: Under the direction of the Engineering Supervisor, coordinate and direct public outreach programs involving individuals, community groups, businesses and local agencies in addressing residential traffic concerns. Work will include meetings with citizens and neighborhood groups to discuss traffic control, calming and safety issues; directing and conducting technical data collection studies, and identifying alternative approaches to traffic problems.

Since then the NTCP has grown and expanded. With the recent annexations,the need for this program has increased dr+maticaly,to a point where current staff resources can no longer meet the growing number requcsts for service. Over the last three years this program has responded to the needs of over twenty neighborhoods at a cost of$36,000 dollars. Close to 800 hours we spent last year in neighborhood meetings,radar training sessions,community outreach and various studies. In order to continue to do the outreach,conduct studies and do research necessary to address this growing list of problems,staff is requesting a position and half. I have attached a general job description outlining some of the primary responsibilities. At present this program addresses the following community concerns: Speed through Neighborhoods Excessive(pass through)traffic through neighborhoods Pdedstrion(children)safety Quality of Life issues(as they relate to increases in traffic in neighborhoods) Irresponsible drivers behavior Overflow parking in areas where single family resident borders multifamily development neighborhood safety 1997 column represents August thru December wages for 1997 ......... .

INTRODUCTION After due consideration of all the evidence presented at public hearing on the date indicated above, and following an unaccompanied personal inspection of the subject property and surrounding area by the Hearing Examiner at a time prior to the public hearing, the following findings, conclusions and recommendation are entered by the Hearing Examiner on this application. FINDINGS 1. An application for a rezone was filed on April 12, 1997. The property proposed for a rezone is located at 20129 and 20227 92nd Avenue South. The proposed rezone is not connected with any development proposal. Exhibit 1, .4,pplication: Testimony ofMr. O'Neill. The subject property consists of two parcels which total approximately 18.69 acres. The applicant proposes a rezone from "SR-1" (Single Family Residential), which allows a maximum of 1 unit per acre, to "SR-3" (Single Family Residential) which allows 3.63 units per acre. Exhibit 1. 3. The property to the north of the subject property is zoned SR-2 (Single Family Residential, 2.18 units per acre). The property to the east of the subject property is zoned SR-6 (Single Family Residential, 6.05 units per acre). The property to the south of the subject property is zoned SR-3. The property to the west of the subject property, on the west side of State Route 167. is zoned M2, Limited Industrial. Currently located on each of the parcels is a single-family residence. One parcel additionally contains an ostrich farm. Land use in the area includes a subdivision to the east. The subject property is surrounded by single-family development. The parcels immediately adjacent to the subject property are not platted, resulting in fairly low-density development. Exhibit 1, Staff Report. 4. In 1990, the owners of the subject property (two adjacent parcels) applied for a rezone from RA (now SR-1) to RI-7 2 (now SR-6). The Council approved a rezone of the property to RI-12 (now SR-3)with conditions that the applicant make traffic improvements before being issued any development permit on the property. The owners, however, never executed and - recorded this "contract rezone." The representative of the owner of one of the parcels, Hearing Examiner Findings and Recommendation Granville-Southern #RZ-97-1 Margaret-Minshull, now desires to effectuate the rezone. The other owner has sold his parcel, however, and the current owner does not wish to execute the agreement. The agreement cannot be effective without both owners. Ms. Minshull's representative consequently filed a new rezone application. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 2-3; Testimony of mr. O'Neill. 5. The City Comprehensive Plan Map designates the site as SF-3 (Single Family Residential with a maximum density of 3 units per acre). In 1995 the City carried-out an area-wide rezone to bring the parcels surrounding the subject parcel into compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The subject parcel was not included in this area-wide rezone because the subject parcel was identified as a contract rezone. Therefore, the City Comprehensive Plan Map intends higher densities for this area than the existing zoning of SR-1 permits. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 5-6; Testimony of Mr. O'Neill. 6. Several policies of the Comprehensive Plan offer support for the proposed rezone. One of the overall themes of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide a wide variety of housing types and opportunities to accommodate growth without converting single-family land to multifamily. Also,two specific policies of the Comprehensive Plan are relevant: LU-1.1 and LU-8.1. The goal stated in LU-1.1 is to "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. LU-8.1 states the goal "to provide in the land use plan adequate land and densities to accommodate both city and county targets within the Potential Annexation Area." The proposed rezone would increase the possible allowable single-family lots on the property from 18 to 67. Exhibit 1. Staff Report, pages 5 7. Citizens living in the vicinity of the rezone testified that traffic on 92nd Avenue S. has increased dramatically in recent years, that the road itself has not been improved at least since 1957,that speeding is a problem on this road, and that the road does not have sidewalks and is therefore dangerous for pedestrians. A citizen testified that noise from traffic is currently a problem as there is no sound barrier along the highway. Testimonies of Mr. Brewer, J11s. Williamson. & 11r. Stewart. 8. The property is located adjacent to 92nd Avenue South. This street is classified as a residential collector arterial. The average daily traffic count is less than 2500 vehicle trips per day. The street has a public right-of-way width of 60 feet. A final Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance was issued for this proposal on May 15, 1997. The MDNS identified mitigating conditions that would be required of any subdivision proposals for the subject property, including the undertaking of improvements to all of 92nd Avenue S.,the widening of 208th Street,and the addition of paved walkways alongside 208th Street and 200th Street. The MDNS was not appealed. The Kent Public Works Department identified specific improvements that will be necessary on 92nd Avenue S. to 3 Hearing Examiner Findings and Recommendation Granville-Southern gRZ-97-1 serve any subsequent development on the property. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 3 & 8, 519197 memo to Mr. Wickrtrom, MDNS; Testimony of.Vtr. O,Veill. 9. Citizen testimony included non-traffic related concerns that future development would likely cause loss of view, increasing property taxes, stormwater runoff problems, removal of existing trees, cause degradation to the area's existing wildlife such as coyotes and pheasants, and contribute to degradation of a stream on the property. Testimonies oj'.Vs. Williamson & Mr. Stewart. The City noted that ordinances require the preservation of trees and views. The applicant will take loss of view into consideration if it proposes any subdivision. The proposed rezone does not have a specific development proposal associated with it. If a development proposal is presented, these concerns should be specifically addressed and mitigation measures imposed where appropriate to protect the environment. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 3 & 8; Testimony of Mr. O'Neill & Mr. Reed. 10. A public hearing was held on this application on June 18, 1997. Notice of the public hearing was posted on the site, published in the newspaper and mailed to persons living near the site. Affidavits of Notice. The public hearing was attended by a representative of the City and the applicant and by citizens residing near the subject property. The City presented a recommendation to approve the rezone request with no conditions. Exhibit 1, .Staff Report; Testimony of Mr. O'Neill. 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 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: 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; 4 Hearing Examiner Findings and Recommendation Granville-Southern- #RZ-97-1 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: Consistencv 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 SF-3 on the Comprehensive Plan Map indicates the proposed rezone is consistent with the vision of the future adopted by the City Council. Finding of Fact No.5. 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 development of vacant or underutilized properties within the City to prevent further urban sprawl on the edges of the planning area. The proposed rezone is consistent with these policies. The proposed rezone would create additional housing opportunities in the area and help the City meet its anticipated housing targets with additional single-family development. Finding of Fact No.6. Compatibilitv 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 that has been developed with single-family residences. East of the property is a subdivision. Once platted, density under the proposed rezone would be consistent with other lots in the area. The type of development authorized under the proposed rezone is just as compatible with the existing development as is the type of development authorized under the current zone. Careful review of any development proposal in the area will be necessary to ensure that existing neighborhood values and environmental values are protected. Finding of Fact No. & Burden on Transportation System CONCLUSION 3: The proposed rezone would not unduly burden the transportation system The traffic impacts associated with the potential development of the proposed rezone were reviewed by the City as part of the environmental review of the rezone proposal. The evidence of the City Traffic Engineer shows that the traffic impacts associated with any development proposal could be mitigated such that there would be no adverse affects on the surrounding road system. Finding of' Fact No. 8. 5 Hearing Examiner Findings and Recommendation Granville-Southern :�RZ-97-1 Change of Circumstances CONCLUSION 4: Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the existing zone to warrant the proposed rezone. The area-wide rezone carried out by the City to conform zoning to the Comprehensive Plan increased the allowable maximum density of zones in the surrounding area to 3 units per acre. This change warrants a similar rezone of the subject property from a maximum allowable density of one unit per acre to 3 units per acre. Finding of Fact No. .5. Health, Safety 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. Although no development proposal is associated with the proposed rezone, the concerns of the citizens at the hearing were taken into account regarding any future developments. Possible conditions to any future development proposals have been determined and recorded and will be considered if a development plan materializes. The Hearing Examiner must conclude that the proposed rezone would not have any adverse affect on anyone in the area surrounding the rezone. Findings of Fact No. 8 & 9. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above Findings and Conclusions, the Examiner recommends the City Council APPROVE this request for a rezone without conditions. The Examiner recommends that no conditions be attached because the rezone is not connected with any development proposal. If a development proposal materializes, potential conditions would be those listed in Finding of Fact No. 3. Additionally, the developer should be required to take into consideration the citizens' concerns as listed in Finding of Fact No. 9. It is the Examiner's opinion that the rezone request, as proposed, meets the criteria for approval established by the Council. Dated this 2nd day of July, 1997 THEODORE PAUL HUNTER Hearing Examiner APPEALS FROM HEARING EXAMINER RECOMMENDATION ORDINANCE 3320 (excerpt): The action of the city council, approving, modifying, or rejecting a recommendation or decision of the hearing examiner, shall be final and conclusive, unless within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the city council action, an appeal is tiled with the Superior Court. 6 CITY OF �cS`J��� �-- Jim White.

The property to the east of the subject property is zoned SR-6 (single-family residential, 6.05 units per acre). The property to the south of the subject property is zoned SR-3. The property to the west of the subject property, on the west side of State Route 167, is zoned M2, Limited Industrial. E. Land Use There is currently a single-family residence with several accessory buildings located on one of the parcels, while the other parcel contains a residence and an ostrich farm. The subject property is surrounded by single-family development. The parcels immediately adjacent to the subject property are not platted, resulting in fairly low density development. There is a subdivision, Whitney Heights, which is located to the east of the property on the east side of 92nd Avenue S. F. History The subject property was annexed to the City of Kent as part of an approximately 320 acre annexation which was adopted in April, 1959 under Ordinance No. 1017. In 1990, the owners of the subject property, two adjacent parcels, applied for a rezone (Application of Minshull/Wagner, #RZ-90-5) from RA (now SR-1) to Rl- 7.2 (now SR-6). After two public hearings, the Hearing Examiner recommended denial of the proposed rezone. The applicants appealed the Examiner's recommendation to the City Council. The Council approved a rezone of the property to R1-12 (now SR-3) with conditions. These conditions all related to transportation improvements that the applicants would be required to undertake prior to issuance of any development permit on the property. The adoption of the rezone and the conditions are outlined in Ordinance No. 2945, which was adopted on October 2, 1990. 2 Staff Report Granville Southern Rezone #RZ-97-1 Under Ordinance No. 2945, the rezone approved by the Council was conditioned upon the execution of an agreement by the applicants setting forth and agreeing to the mitigating conditions noted in the ordinance. This "contract rezone" agreement was to be recorded with the King County Auditor and filed with the City Clerk; however, the applicants never executed and recorded the agreement so the property was never rezoned. Margaret Minshull, or her representatives, now desire to effectuate the rezone; however, the City has been informed that the Wagners have subsequently sold their property and that the current owners do not wish to execute such an agreement. Since the Ordinance No. 2945 requires the owners of both parcels to execute an agreement to rezone the property, it is the City Attorney's opinion that the execution on one parcel by one owner would not comply with the terms of the ordinance and therefore a rezone could not take place pursuant to the ordinance. As a consequence, it was recommended that the current applicants representing the Minshull parcel file for a new rezone application. II. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS A. Environmental Assessment A Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) (#ENV-97-20) for the rezone proposal was issued on May 15, 1997. B. Significant Physical Features Topography and Vegetation The site has west-facing slopes which average approximately 16 percent. There are portions of the property where the slope slightly exceeds 30 percent. The site is covered with native vegetation, with several significant deciduous and evergreen trees located on the site. At the time of development of the property, the developer will have to submit a tree plan for Planning Department approval prior to development on any lot. 3 Staff Report Granville Southern Rezone #RZ-97-1 C. Senificanr Social Features 1. 5=9LU= The subject property is located adjacent to 92nd Avenue South. This street is classified as a residential collector arterial. The street has a public right-of-way width of 60 feet, approximately 20 feet of which is paved. A widening strip will be required to be deeded to the City for any subsequent development. The average daily traffic count on 92nd Avenue South is less than 2500 vehicle trips per day. 2. Water-System The subject property is served by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. There is a 6-inch water line in 92nd Avenue South adjacent to the property. Any subsequent development on the property would require a Certificate of Water Availability from Soos Creek. 3. Sanitary Sewer Svstem The subject property is served by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer and District. There is a 12-inch line in 92nd Avenue South adjacent to the property. A sewer line also intersects the subject property and connects the 12-inch line to an 18-inch transmission main which is located to the west of the property. Any subsequent development on the property would require a Certificate of Sewer Availability from Soos Creek. 4. Stormwater System A stormwater system will be necessary to accommodate any new development. The developer will be required to construct an aboveground stormwater treatment system in accordance with Kent Construction Standards. 5. LED, No Local Improvement Districts exist at this time. 4 ..w Staff Report Granville Southern Rezone #RZ-97-1 III. CONSULTED DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES The following departments and agencies were advised of this application: City Administrator City Attorney Director of Public Works Chief of Police Parks & Recreation Director Fire Chief Building Official City Clerk In addition to the above, all persons owning property which lies within 200 feet of the site were notified of the application and of the public hearing. Staff comments have been incorporated in the staff report where applicable. 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. LAND USE ELEMENT 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 Land Use Plan Map designates the subject property as SF-3, Single-Family Residential with a maximum density of 3 units per acre. The land use element also contains goals and policies relating to the location, density, and design of future development in the City and in the Potential Annexation Area. 5 Staff Report Granville Southern Rezone #RZ-97-1 Coal LU-1: Designate an urban 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.L: 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. C'Toal 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 an interlocal agreement on housing targets in the unincorporated area within Kent's Potential Annexation Area. Policy -i1 T`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 to adequately support urban services. Planning Dcpartment Comment: As mentioned, the Land Use Plan Element in the Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property, and surrounding property, as SF-3. This area was designated as SF-3 due to the presence of urban services, particularly water and sewer. Therefore, the Land Use Plan contemplates higher densities for this area than are permitted under the existing zoning of SR-1. After the Comprehensive Plan was adopted, staff recommended changes to the zoning map for several areas on East Hill to implement the land use designations in the Land Use Plan Map (#CPZ-95-1). The parcels surrounding the subject parcel along the west side of 92nd Avenue South were rezoned as part of this process, since this area had been designated as SF-3 in the plan. The parcels to the north of the subject property were zoned R1-20 (now SR-2), due to the presence of steep slopes and poor traffic access. The parcels to the south of the subject property were rezoned to R1-12 (now SR-3). Because the subject property had 6 Staff Report Granville Southern Rezone ##RZ-97-1 been rezoned, albeit with conditions, the properties were not included in the area wide zoning. This proposed rezone is supported by the goals and policies cited above. The development of vacant or underutilized properties within the City prevents further urban sprawl on the edges of the planning area. In addition, infill development provides a much more efficient means of providing services and enhancing pedestrian opportunities. 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 residential development at higher densities is supportive of this theme. At the existing zoning density, it would be possible to create a total of 18 lots on the property. Under the proposed zoning, it would be possible to create 67 lots. Therefore, the rezone would create additional housing opportunities in the area, and help the City meet its anticipated housing targets with additional single-family development. �,. HOUSING ELEMENT Goal H-l: 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. Goal H-2: Provide sufficient, diverse, and affordable housing for the existing and projected population of Kent. Planning Department Comment The proposed rezone is supported by relevant goals and policies of the housing element. The proposed location is served by existing urban services, particularly water and sewer. Also, as noted elsewhere in this report, the proposed rezone is .µ 7 Staff Report Granville Southern Rezone #RZ-97-1 consistent with the Land Use Plan Map, which contemplates higher densities for this area than are allowed under the existing zoning. TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT 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. Polity TR-1.5: Ensure consistency between land use and transportation plans so that land use and adjacent transportation facilities are compatible. Planning Department Comment: The Growth Management Act requires consistency between land use and transportation planning. The Public Works Department has identified specific improvements which will be necessary on 92nd Avenue South to serve any subsequent development of the property. These improvements include the dedication of property along 98th Avenue Souih for right-of-way, paying a proportionate share for the future resurfacing of 92nd Avenue, and the construction of improvements along the entire property frontage of 92nd Avenue South, including street lighting, sidewalks, and drainage facilities. ECONOMIC ONO IC DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT Coal ED-2: Maintain a strong policy toward balanced community development. p Ug RED-2_l: Encourage home ownership to foster stakeholders in the community. Encourage new housing development to locate closer to existing public services. 8 Staff Report Granville Southern Rezone ##RZ-97-1 Planning Department Comment The proposed rezone and subsequent development will provide 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. C. Standards and Criteria for a Rezone Request The following standards and criteria (Kent Zoning Code, Section 15.09.050) are used by the Hearing Examiner and City Council to evaluate a request for a 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 The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan Map designates the subject parcel as SF- 3, Single Family residential, allowing densities of 3 units per acre. The proposed SR-3 zoning is consistent with this plan designation. As mentioned earlier, the proposed rezone to a higher density is also consistent with the applicable goals and policies in the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed rezone and subsequent development of the site would be compatible with development in the vicinity. Planning Department Comment The proposed rezone would not have a negative impact on existing development in the vicinity. Although the nature of the surrounding area is low density single- family residential, the SR-3 zoning district is a fairly low density zoning district. Lot sizes in this zone must be at least 9,600 square feet. The required minimum lot size under the existing zoning designation of SR-1 is one acre (43,560 square feet), and there are a number of lots in the surrounding area which are smaller than an acre. Several lots to the east range in size from 11,000 square feet to 14,000 '� 9 Staff Report Granville Southern Rezone #RZ-97-1 square feet. Some of the lots in the adjacent Whitney Heights subdivision are less than 9,000 square feet. Therefore, any lots created through a subsequent subdivision would be compatible with the surrounding development pattern. Furthermore, since the surrounding zoning to the south and east are SR-3 and SR- 6, respectively, it is likely that additional single-family development will take place in the future. 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 As mentioned, it would be possible to create a total of 18 lots on the subject parcel under the current zoning. The proposed rezone would create the potential for 67 lots to be created. Currently, 92nd Avenue South has a right -of-way of 60 feet, with approximately 20 feet of paving. The Public Works Department has identified several mitigating conditions for any subsequent development on the property, including both on-site and off-site road improvements. It is likely, however, that these conditions would be similar for subdivision activity under the existing zoning. 4. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the current zoning district to warrant the proposed rezone. Planning Department Comment In 1990, the State Legislature adopted the Growth Management Act (GMA). In 1995, the City Council adopted the City's new Comprehensive Plan, done under the provisions of the GMA. Along with the Land Use Plan Map and policies, the plan also contains a target for the number of new households the City must accommodate for the twenty-year time horizon of the plan. The GMA also states that a city's development regulations must implement, and be consistent with, the comprehensive plan. Smaller single family lot sizes are one way to continue Kent's commitment to single family neighborhoods while accommodating a portion of the City's expected growth. 10 Staff Report Granville Southern Rezone #RZ-97-1 The subject property was designated as SF-3 in the Comprehensive Plan due to its access to developed streets and the availability of sewer and water service. It was not designated for higher density due to the slope of the area. As stated. the properties to the north and south of the subject parcel were rezoned in 1995 to implement the densities proscribed for the area in the plan. Therefore, circumstances have changed since the establishment of the current zoning designation, and have also changed since the Hearing Examiner and City Council considered the proposed rezone for the parcel in 1990. 5. The proposed rezone,will not adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Kent. Planning Department Comment The proposed rezone is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. As a result the rezone proposal will not adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Kent. Subsequent development on the site will have to meet applicable codes, regulations, and processes, including mitigation of anticipated environmental impacts. V. CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION Upon review of the merits of this request and the Code criteria for granting a rezone, the City staff recommends APPROVAL of the Granville Southern Rezone request.

Harris, Planning Director MEMORANDUM JULY 14, 1997 MEMO TO: STEVE DOWELL, CHAIR, AND MEMBERS OF THE LAND USE AND PLANNING BOARD FROM: KEVIN O'NEILL, SENIOR PLANNER SUBJECT: #ZCA-97-3 - AMENDMENT TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE (POLYGON NORTHWEST) INTRODUCTION In April, 1997, Polygon Northwest submitted a regulatory review request to amend the regulations in the zoning code relating to planned unit developments (PUD). Specifically, the applicant wishes to allow PUDs to be developed in single-family zoning districts, as long as the site is at least 100 acres in size (currently, PUDs are not permitted in any single family zoning district). The applicant is also seeking changes to the permitted uses in a single family PUD, and would like to add a provision allowing a phased, or "master plan" approval process for PUDs. The City Council Planning Committee reviewed this request on April 15, 1997, and voted to send it on to the Land Use and Planning Board for your consideration. This memorandum will present some background information on the City's regulations pertaining to PUDs, and will discuss some of the issues related to the applicant's request. The issues outlined in this memorandum will be presented and discussed at your July 14 workshop, and, with the Board's concurrence, will be reviewed at the Board's July 28 public meeting. BACKGROUND The provisions relating to planned unit developments are found in Section 15.04.080 of the zoning code. The intent of the PUD is to "create a process to promote diversity and creativity in site design, and protect and enhance natural and community features". As outlined in the zoning code, PUDs allow some mixing of commercial and residential uses, and also allow more flexibility with regard to development standards such as minimum lot size. 2204th AVE SO. /KENT WASHINGTON 9E032-5895/TELEPHONE I?0609-3300/FAX a 859.1334 Amendment to Planned Unit Development Regulations--#ZCA-97-3 July 14, 1997 Page 2 Planned unit developments have been permitted as part of the Kent zoning code since 1973. In 1987, the Planning Commission reviewed a new planned unit development ordinance, which. among other things, shortened the review time and refined allowable density bonuses for PUDs. After referring the amended provisions to the Planning Committee for review, the City Council adopted the amended PUD ordinance in August, 1988 (Ordinance #2802). In 1990, the City Council received a petition from the Responsible Urban Growth Group (RUGG) which requested that the City Council consider revisions to the PUD ordinance which would require that all units in single-family PUDs be detached (previously side-by-side single family attached units had been allowed) and establishing a minimum lot size in single-family PUDs of 7,200 square feet. In July, 1991, the City Council directed the Planning Commission to look at the PUD ordinance and address these concerns. The Planning Commission examined several alternatives, and recommended to the City Council that PUDs simply not be permitted in single- family residential zoning districts. The City Council concurred with this recommendation, and adopted Ordinance #3007 on October 15, 1991, eliminating the ability to propose a PUD in single-family zoning districts. PROPOSAL The applicant, Polygon Northwest, seeks to allow PUDs in single-family zoning districts; however, this would be limited to only those sites which are 100 acres or more. Polygon has been constructing homes for the past several years in The Lakes development, which is a large master- planned community, and would like to undertake a similar type of master plan development on the Kent Highlands property, which is located on West Hill and is currently zoned SR-3. Polygon feels that the PUD provisions, as amended, would potentially allow them to construct a similar type of master planned development (albeit at a lower density) on the Kent Highlands property as has been constructed at the Lakes. Specifically, the applicant is requesting the following amendments: 1. Allow PUDs in single-family zoning districts, but only if the site is 100 acres or more. 2. Allow single family or detached condominium, side-by-side town home and,carriage style, or flat style condominium units in PUDs. Currently, the PUD ordinance allows only those uses which are permitted in the underlying zoning district, with the exception that residential PUDs of 10 acres or more may also allow commercial uses. These types of dwelling units are currently not permitted in single-family zoning districts. 3. Allow a phased, or "master plan" process for PUDs--currently, the PUD ordinance _ requires that the Hearing Examiner review and approve a specific development plan, Amendment to Planned Unit Development Regulations--#ZCA-97-3 July 14. 1997 Page 3 including site plans, landscaping plans, and building elevations. The applicants are requesting a process which would allow for the approval of a large conceptual, or master plan for a whole site, which could then be constructed in phases, with each phase undergoing development review. This is similar to the way the Lakes project has been constructed. The Lakes project was approved as a contract rezone, which stipulated densities for various parts of the development; currently, the zoning code has no provision for allowing phased, master plan projects. CONCLUSION At the July 14 workshop, we will discuss the applicant's request and the issues identified in this memorandum in more detail. I have attached a copy of the applicant's regulatory review request with attachments, and a copy of Ordinance #3007. If you have any questions prior to the July 14 workshop, please call me at 850-4799. cc: James P.

The Council wants the public to be able to participate in this review. The outline on this page is intended to give the public an opportunity to write down those things that they do not like about an ordinance or regulation. The Council will then review the public's comments and, when appropriate, make changes to ordinances and regulations. • What ordinance or regulation do you want the Council to review? Ordinance No. 3007 10-15-91 Section 15.02.332 Planned Unit Development of City of Kent Zoning Code. • What is it that bothers you about this ordinance/regulation? The current Planned Unit Development(PUD) ordinance does not provide provisions for larger developments i.e. parcels of land greater than 100 acres. The ordinance does not allow for PUD in single family residential zones. The ordinance does not allow attached homes in single family residential zones if development is processed as a PUD. • What changes do you suggest to this ordinance/regulation? I. Allow PUD's in single family residential zones (R-zones) when the proposed development is greater than 100 acres 2. Provide provisions to the PUD ordinance allowing design flexibility on development greater than 100 acres as follows: A. Pod or Parcel design providing areas of maximum density rather than requiring final site plan and building designs at time of PUD approval. Example: The Lakes Community was designed with pods of maximum density, open space and only infrastructure, spine roads, utilities, storm detention was detailed. B. Phasing allowing PUD on greater than 100 acres 3 years to apply for development permits, rather than the current I year time limit. C. The PUD ordinance should allow the flexibility of mixed densities and types of units on development greater than 100 acres. This allows for development to meet the needs of the public providing a range of products in a single community. The ordinance should allow single family or detached condominium,side by side townhome and carriage or flat style condominiums in a PUD with underlying single family zoning if the development is greater than 100 acres. Example: The Lakes Community provided home ownership in a carriage flat condominium for under 5100,000,a side by side townhome starting from the 5120,000's to the S 160,000's, and single family detached condominiums starting at 5140,000 to S 190,000. This type of product diversity and creativity is essential for a successful community and well received by the public. N131I.NRCORMIDOc • What significance to the Community will occur with your proposed change? The proposed changes would be of little significance to a community with the changes all being restricted to developments greater than 100 acres. Within the City's current boundary there are very few parcels where large developments are possible. The concept of using a PUD process allows staff greater design control when working on a larger project. Developers have flexibility and more resources to deal with open space and adjacent community concerns, buffering and recreation needs. • What effect, if any, will your proposed change have on related ordinance, regulations, plans and policies? The proposed change should not effect any other City ordinances or policies. With the proposed changes only effecting development over 100 acres the usage is limited. There does not appear to be any negative effects of the suggested changes. However, positive effects of the proposed changes are many. The changes allow for more comprehensive planning of large developments. Mixed densities provide a variety of home ownership opportunities to the public in a single community. A large PUD will provide better use of open space and recreational space than if small individual projects were constructed and staff have a better ability to deal with neighboring concerns iike buffering, open space, traffic and recreation. • Have you reviewed your concern with a City staff member? City staff have agreed and support our suggestions as they have been discussed conceptually. Our goal would be to provide changes that would be supported by all City Staff to achieve full support of all staff. • Do you have any general comments you wish to make(can be about the ordinance/regulation you want changed or about anything else to do with ordinance/regulations or the permit process)? The example of the Lakes at Kent was referenced above and should be focused on as a successful and unique community within the City of Kent. The proposed changes will provide the ability to plan and develop other communities similar to the Lakes The public response to communities that provide diversity and range in home ownership has been incredibly positive. PUD's in the 100 acres or greater also allow for greater density to be achieved if desired by the public and private sectors, with the final PUD decision being made by the Hearing Examiner. This greater density, when used correctly, can help defer the rising cost of development allowing the entire community to attract the median income range buyer. We hope that staff and the committee view these changes as a positive addition to the code benefiting the public and the City of Kent. Additionally, with the cost of land,developers have become restricted in their abilities to provide open or recreation space. Through the PUD process,35%of the project remains open space which provides excellent buffers for adjacent neighbors 1 have attached a sample of the changes proposed to Ordinance 3007 and conceptual map of the pod type PUD submittal.

Harris,Planning Director MEMORANDUM August 19, 1997 TO: MAYOR JIM WHITE AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: KEVIN O'NEILL, SENIOR PLANNER SUBJECT: #ZCA-97-3 - AMENDMENT TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE (POLYGON NORTHWEST) Attached for your consideration is the recommendation of the Land Use and Planning Board regarding several proposed amendments to the planned unit development(PUD) ordinance. The request to amend the ordinance was submitted by Polygon Northwest. The request was reviewed by the City Council Planning Committee at their April 15, 1997 meeting, and the committee voted to send it to the Land Use and Planning Board for their consideration. The Board reviewed the request in workshops held on July 14 and July 21, 1997, and conducted a public hearing on July 28, 1997. The Board then deliberated on the request and made its recommendation at the July 28 meeting. As outlined in the staff report to the Board dated July 28, 1997 (attached), the applicant seeks three changes to the existing PUD regulations,which are outlined in Section 15.04.080 of the zoning code. Specifically, the applicant seeks to allow PUDs to be developed in single-family zoning districts, as long as the site is at least 100 acres in size(currently,PUDs are not permitted in any single-family zoning district); seeks to allow attached dwelling units to be developed within a PUD in a single- family zone; and, requests allowing a,phased, master plan process for the review and approval of PUDs on large sites. At the July 28 meeting,the Land Use and Planning Board voted to recommend approval of amendments to the PUD Ordinance as recommended by staff in the staff report, with certain revisions. These revisions are outlined below. 1. Require multi-family dwellings constructed within a PUD in a single-family zoning district to be no more than two stories in height. 2. Allow no on-street parking within a master planned development PUD. 3. Require an applicant for a master planned development to demonstrate documentation of coordination with the school district. 220 111 AVE.SO.. 1 KENT WASHINGTON 9MU32-5M95/TELEPHONE r2bh�M59-331M7!FAX#M59-3334 Memo To: Mayor Jim White and City Council Members _.. Subject: 4ZCA-97-3 - Amendments to Planned Unit Development Ordinance Page 2 4. Reduce the time period for obtaining all development permits for a master planned development from ten years to seven years. The Board also wished to make a revision to the staff recommendation requiring any multi-family dwelling to be owner-occupied(a condominium). The applicant testified at the public hearing that Polygon intended to construct only condominiums as part of their prospective development. However, Planning Department staff advised the Board that such a requirement may not be possible from a legal standpoint. Staff told the Board that a legal opinion would be sought on this question from the Law Department prior to the item being considered by the City Council. Planning Department staff has requested a legal opinion on this issue, and will present this to the Council at the August 19 meeting. Staff will be available at the August 19 City Council meeting to discuss the Board's recommendation on this zoning amendment and answer any questions. KON/tb:PUDAMDCC.MEM cc: James P.

Satterstrom) Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom explained that this item was previously heard by the Land Use and Planning Board and a recommendation was sent to the City Council. Mr. Satterstrom explained that this item has been remanded back to the Board from the City Council at the applicant's request for reconsideration. Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom explained that the request for a regulatory review was received from Mr. Glen Sparrow. Mr. Sparrow has requested to expand the permitted uses in the CM-1 zone to include warehousing and distribution facilities and the storage of goods and products. Mr. Satterstrom explained that the original recommendation by the Land Use and Planning Board specifically did not permit trucking terminals and rail/truck transfer uses. The applicant has requested that these uses be allowed as a conditional use. Mr. Satterstrom explained that CM-1 zoning is located in only one area within the City of Kent along Central Avenue and is less than one percent(1%) of the City's total land mass. The CM-1 zoning district is adjacent to Manufacturing zones which allow trucking terminals and rail/truck transfer uses. Staff recommends amending the CM-1 district regulations and adding the following principally permitted uses: "Warehousing and distribution facilities and storage of goods and products; provided however, that trucking terminals and rail/truck transfer uses shall be permitted subject to a request far and approval as a conditional use. " Mr. Satterstrom explained that a conditional use permit requires a public hearing.before the Hearing Examiner. He explained that the Hearing Examiner has the ability to set mitigating conditions on a case by case basis. Vice Chair Brad Bell questioned who the perspective tenant was- Mr. Satterstrom explained that Yellow Freight made the original inquiry on the site;however,it couldbe another company who actually occupies the property in question. Chair Steve Dowell questioned what other areas this would effect. Mr. Satterstrom explained that CM-1 zoning is located in only one area. (Mr. Satterstrom identified the area on the map).

Mr. John Paul Turner is an attorney with Rogers & Deutch and is representing the applicant, Mr. Glen Sparrow. Mr. Turner presented the Board with some pictures that the applicant took of the area. He explained that 218th has undergone a substantial LID project and presented pictures illustrating the improvements. Mr. Turner commented that the property across the street in the industrial zone has extensive driveways as does the property owned by Mr. Sparrow. He remarked that the Sparrow property was previously permitted as a trucking terminal. Mr. Turner stated that he concurs with staff s recommendation. Board member Harmon MOVED and Vice Chair Bell SECONDED a motion to close the public hearing. Motion carried. Mr. Harmon asked for staff to reiterate the original recommendation that was made by the Land Use and Planning Board. Mr. Satterstrom explained that the original recommendation was as follows: "Warehousing and distribution facilities and storage of goods and products; provided however, that trucking terminals and raibtruck transfer uses shall not be permitted. " -� Chair Steve Dowell questioned whether the property could handle a larger building. Mr. Satterstrom explained that it could be expanded somewhat but the site is restricted. Mr. Harmon questioned.the size of the existing building. Mr. Satterstrom explained that he is uncertain. Harmon questioned whether the CM-1 zone was established to buffer the heavy manufacturing from the multifamily residential. Mr. Satterstrom explained that the purpose of the CM-1 zone is to provide an area for both heavy commercial and industrial uses of land. Mr. Satterstrom explained that the only potential problem staff foresees with the requested amendment is where the CM-1 zone abutts high density multifamily. Mr. Satterstrom commented that the CM-1 zone is a relatively small area of land and most of it is already developed. He stated that the LID improvements on 218th make this area more capable of handling a trucking type use. i Mr. Satterstrom explained that three circumstances help mitigate the potential conflict between a trucking use and the multifamily residential. The first is the transition requirements that are written into the zoning code. These regulations apply when you have-industrial uses next to multifamily residential- The second is the grade difference. The multifamily area is located on:the hill and the industrial land is in the valley. W. Satterstrom explained that the difference in elevation and grade helps to separate the two uses. The third is the requirement of a public hearing through the conditional use process. Surrounding property owners would have an opportunity to go before the Hearing Examiner and voice any concerns they may have with a trucking terminal next door. The Heating Examiner is able to set mitigating conditions when necessary.

Vice Chair Brad Bell MOVED and Harmon SECONDED a motion to recommend that the City Council adopt the staff recommendation to amend Section 15.04.120(A) and add the following principally permitted uses: "Warehousing and distribution facilities and the storage of goods and products;provided, however, that trucking terminals and rail/truck transfer uses shall be permitted subject to a request for and approval as a conditional use. " Motion carried. #ZCA 97 3 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS - (K. O'Neill) Senior Planner Kevin O'Neill explained that the City received a request for a regulatory review of the Planned Unit Development(PUD) regulations from Polygon Northwest. Mr. O'Neill explained that the Kent Zoning Code currently provides for a PUD in Section 15.04.080. He explained that the intent of a PUD is to create a process to promote diversity and creativity in site design and protect and enhance natural and community features. Mr. O'Neill explained that the process is provided to encourage unique developments which may combine a mixture of residential, commercial and industrial uses. Mr. O'Neill explained that PUD provisions in the zoning code go back to the original 1973 zoning code. Typically the purpose of a PUD is to allow for flexibility for site design in terms of layout, lot sizes, and uses, but it requires'a formal review and approval process which includes a public hearing in front of the Hearing Examiner. The applicants have requested three specific changes to the PUD regulations which are outlined on page 2 of the July 28, 1997 staff report and listed below: 1. Allow PUDs in single-family zoning districts, if the site is 100 acres or more. 2. Allow for attached dwelling units. 3. Allow a phased, or "master plan" process. Mr. O'NeilI explained that the Comprehensive Platt goals and policies in both the Land Use i Element and the Housing Element encourages residential buildout throughout the City in order to meet the housing targets that are provided for in dm Growth Management Act, well at the same time, protecting the environmentally sensitive areas like wetlands, steep slopes, and creek and stream corridors. W. O'Neill explained that a PUD is a very good mechanism for accomplishing that. Typically, a PUD is able to cluster the development on the most developable portions of the #ZCA-97-2 CM-1 ZONING DISIRICTREGULA77ONS #ZCA-97-3 PLANNED UNITDEVELOPAIEWS #ZCA-97-5 GENERAL CONDMOAPAL USES Land Use and Planning Board Minutes July ?3, 1997 Page 5 lot and the environmentally sensitive areas are left alone. In fact, the current PUD regulations require that 35% of the site be dedicated for common open space. Mr. O'Neill explained that there were several issues discussed at the July 14, 1997 Workshop with regard to different housing types. Mr. O'Neill explained some of the options available. • Flexibility with regard to the different types of housing types and allow it to be reviewed as part of the Hearing Examiner process. Allow the attachment of units but not allow any density bonus Capping any multifamily buildings at two stories • Allowing only side by side units as opposed to vertically stacked units Restricting the number of units per building in a PUD • Allowing only a certain percentage of overall units to be multifamily With regard to the master plan process, Mr. O'Neill explained that this process was utilized during the development of the Lakes project which was a large contract rezone. The Lakes project, that was approved back in the 1970's, consisted of a an overall master plan for a site over 200 acres. The master plan prescribed approved densities within the site and each phase was reviewed and approved administratively. The advantage of establishing a master plan approval process in the PUD Ordinance is that it could be used for a residential PUD or any type of a large development project that was either going to built out in phases or was going to combine uses. Mr. O'Neill commented that if the Borden site was ever redeveloped a master plan process could be used. Mr. O'Neill commented that the City Attomey is concerned that the Hearing Examiner is currently authorized to approve an application for a PUD. Mr. O'Neill explained that if a use is not typically allowed in the underlying zoning district (i.e. attached dwelling units in a residential zone) it becomes more of a legislative action similar to a rezone. Based on the Law Department's recommendation, if a use is different than what is allowed in the underlying zone, the Hearing Examiner should review the application, make a recommendation to the Council, and the Council should have the final approval. Mr. O'Neill explained that this would only be applicable when the underlying uses differ from the current use. He explained that this would also apply when a PUD of ten acres or more includes a commercial use. This is currently allowed within the existing regulations and would fall under the same approval guidelines. Mr. O'Neill explained the proposed changes to the zoning code that are outlined in the July 28, 1997 staff report. Vice Chair Brad Bell questioned how many parcels of land this provision would effect. Mr. O'Neill explained that currently there are very few vacant residentially zoned parcels of land that are 100 acres or more. The Kent Highlands site is one. He explained that it would be possible for property owners to assemble enough land together for a 100 acres PUD.

He explained that this provision would provide a process in the zoning code to allow further buildout if they decided to do so later. Board member Ron Harmon questioned the ten year time limit. Mr. O'Neill explained that the current PUD Ordinance requires that a development permit be brought in within one year of approval of a PUD. He explained that the purpose for ten years was allowing enough time for a master plan to be built out in several phases. Mr. Harmon questioned if a shorter time frame would be appropriate. He suggested a seven year limit with an option to extend. Mr. O'Neill explained that it would depend on the scope of a specific project whether seven years would be sufficient. Board member Sharon Woodford questioned why the limitations were discussed but were not a part of the staff recommendation. Mr. O'Neill explained that the intent was to offer some suggestions of limitations based an the concerns that were voiced at the July 14, 1997 workshop. He explained that not allowing a density bonus is a restriction that is currently allowed. Ms. Woodford commented that she is concerned with the aesthetics and would like to see some type of development that would blend in with the single family zone. She commented that side by side units or townhome designs can be made to look more pleasing to single family residents than if a three story apartment looking structure was put in. She would like to see the design fit into the surrounding area. She remarked that the applicant has the same concerns,but this may not mean that a future developer would. Vice Chair Brad Bell remarked that the City of Kent, both the Planning Department and the City Council,has had a history of opposing multifamily development. Mr. Bell commented that in the early 90's the City practically halted all new multifamily development_ He explained that the City has consistently annexed property with that had multifamily zoning designations in the county and downzoned the properties to single family designations. Mr. Bell questioned the staffs motivation for completely turning around the City's position. Mr. O'Neill explained that this is not a shift in theirposition. W.O'Neill explainedthat by allowing the option to cluster development in the most developable portion ofthe site,it allows the site an opportunity to built out at the densities allowed in the ComprehensivePlam He explained that there is a big difference between allowing for flexibility in developing&restricted site and a rezone to MRG or MRM that would allow 16 to 20 units per acre: W. Bell explained that he is not speaking toward rezone but to the actual down zoning of property. Mr. Bell asked whether he saw anything ordinarily unfair about taking property owners on the easthill and downzoning them and now saying okay we can have multifamily on the westhill on a hundred acres. #ZCA-97-1 CM-I ZONING DISTRICT REGULATIONS #ZCA-97-3 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS #ZCA-97-5 GENERAL CONDITIONAL USES Land Use and Planning Board Minutes July 28, 1997 Page 7 Mr. Bell explained that with a 100 acre site that has only 50 acres that are developable the PUD would double the amount of housing units that can be placed on the site. Mr. O'Neill commented that it potentially doubles the amount of housing units that can be placed on the developable portion of the site, but the entire site is still regulated by the underlying zoning. Mr. Bell questioned whether that was doubling the intensity of the site. Mr. O'Neill stated that the site is regulated for a certain number of units per acre and that provision would still apply. Board member Sharon Woodford commented that the applicant has previously spoken to the Kent School District and discussed allocating some land to use for a school. She questioned whether the City has any authority to require that an application with a site of 100 acres or more have to allocate a percentage of land for schools or at least facilitate a discussion with the school district. Mr. O'Neill explained that the Board has the choice to make that recommendation. He explained that any large project would go through an environmental review. He commented that mitigating conditions and factors would be analyzed as part of that. Ms. Woodford commented that one hundred acres or more has a potential for a lot of families. A project of that size could easily overpopulate the schools instantly. Planning Director Jim Harris questioned whether Ms. Woodford was proposing that the regulations for a PUD with one hundred acres or more have a requirement that a school be placed on the site or that consideration be given for a school site. Mr. Harris stated that those are two vastly different concepts. Requiring a development to provide a ten acre elementary school site or a fifteen acre junior high site may not fit into the school district's overall plan. The school district may want to locate down the road. Ms. Woodford questioned what the City had authority to require. She would like to see some requirement that an applicant must discuss the school district's needs. Mr. Harris commented that schorols are allowed in any zone through a conditional use permit. Board member Ron Harmon commented that he has some of the same concerns as Ms. Woodford. He would like to see some consideration given to schools on a hundred acre site. The school district needs should be considered by the developer of a hundred acre site. I Mr.Harris pointed out that city and school district operations are two separate governmental entities. To expect the two to work together simply by writing something into the City of Kent Zoning Code 1 may be unrealistic. W. Harris commented that the Board has some good ideas. The City could require the developer to work with the school district. Ms. Woodford asked what the City has the authority to do. Mr. Harris explained that the City has the ability to suggest an idea,but the school district has their own ideas. Mr. Harris commented that talking with each other is very important.

He questioned whether the City would have any difficulty meeting housing targets if the PUD is not approved. Mr. O'Neill explained that on the particular site in question this is probably the only way that the density could be accommodated. He commented that is not necessarily the case on the large scale because the 100 acre requirement limits the use. Chair Steve Dowell stated that the developers pay the school districts a fee for each dwelling built. Mr. O'Neill commented that school impact fees are required for each new dwelling unit constructed. He explained that the fee is different for single family versus multifamily. Mr. O'Neill stated that single family residences are charged $3,500 per home and multifamily units are charged approximately $2,000 per dwelling unit. Chair Dowell questioned the allowance of commercial uses. Mr. O'Neill explained that the current PUD Ordinance allows commercial uses on any residential PUD of ten acres or more, hence, this would apply to a hundred acre or more site. He explained that the current Ordinance would only allow those uses that are currently allowed in the Neighborhood Community Commercial (NCC) zoning district. Chair Dowell questioned what would be some allowed uses. Mr. O'Neill explained that the principally permitted uses would be any local retail business for sale of new merchandise, as opposed to a resale or thrift store,personal services such as barber and beauty shops, and any other retail or personal services use as determined by the Planning Director to be of the same general character of the local retail businesses and services as well as municipal buildings. Dowell asked what conditional uses would be allowed. Mr. O'Neill explained that only conditional uses allowed would be the general conditional uses that are listed in Section 15.08. General conditional uses would include schools,retirement homes, and those uses that are allowed in every zoning district as a general conditional use.

Mr. Eric Wells presented the Board with a letter(Exhibit#2). W. Wells explained that Polygon would like an opportunity to build a community. He explained that there are several types of hj communities, multifamily, single family and combinations of the two. Polygon proposes an opportunity to come in on a large piece of property in the City of Kent and have the flexibility to provide housing for a variety of different lifestyles, for a variety of different people that can afford homes at different levels. MZCA-97-1 CM-1 ZONNG DISnUCT REGULATIONS MZCA-97-3 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS MZCA-97-5 GENERAL CONDMONAL USES Land Use and Planning Board Minutes July 28, 1997 Page 9 Mr. Wells stated that if a hundred acre site is developed with only single family housing with the constraints you have on development today, road improvements, school impact fees, and the time required to develop a complicated site with steep slopes and the wetland issues, a lot of people are priced out of the market. He commented that he sees that today, as the market goes up. He explained that a variety of different housing needs can be met in a single project with a master planned community or a large PUD. Mr. Wells commented that Polygon has had open communication with the school district. He stated that they do understand the school's needs and stated that school impact fees are set up to address some of the school district's needs. Mr. Wells commented that when designing a large project you need to take schools into consideration. Board member Tom Brotherton commented that some of the concerns for multifamily projects stem from renters not taking as much pride and ownership in a rental unit. He commented that people who make an investment and plan to stay for an extended period of time tend to make a commitment to the community and the area. Mr. Brotherton questioned whether Polygon would object to a requirement that the multifamily housing be built for single ownership or would apartments need to be included in this development to be saleable. Mr. Wells explained that Polygon builds homes for sale product. Whether they build side by side townhomes, single family or detached condominium, or even stacked condominium,they are all for sale product and that is there intent. He doesn't foresee a difficulty committing to single ownership dwellings. Mr. Brotherton commented that one concern is not to degrade the quality of service in the neighborhood when you bring in a PUD or a large development. Mr. Brotherton questioned.whether Polygon would agree to maintain current service levels. Mr. Wells explained that this may be difficult to address. He explained that issues involving parks, traffic, roads, school impact fees, water, and sewer are brought out during the environmental review and mitigating conditions are set. Mr. Brotherton discussed an issue if a phased development when a high percentage of the multifamily is developed first. Mr. Brotherton commented that he would like to see a proportionate amount of single family development along with the multifamily development in a phased development. W.Brotherton questioned if this would be a problem_ Mr. Wells explained that from a developer stand point that is their goal: They try to develop a variety of units simultaneously to offer something to sell for everybody. At the Lakes,Mr. Wells explained that they have actually opened four separate communities at one time so they could offer a variety and choice. He commented that restricting a development to a specific proportion could be difficult to write into the regulations,however,they try to offer a variety. Otherwise,they could commit business suicide. He explained that the market demand drives their business direction.

Mr. Dowell questioned what type of retail uses if any Polygon was considering. Mr. Wells commented that it's not olygon's intent to develop retail or light commercial into the PUD. He explained that the allo ante of some commercial uses is presently allowed in the code and, therefore, was reference by staff. Chair Dowell questioned what type of multifamily rental units Polygon was considering. Mr. Wells explained that it is not Polygon's intent to build any for rent product. He explained that they intend to build for sale product. Mr. Wells suggested setting a height restriction of two stories above grade. Mr. Dowell questioned what types of units Polygon was considering for the PUD site. Mr. Wells commented that they are considering a detached condominium, side by side two story townhome, single level side by side townhome, carriage style two story six-plex with integral garage. Board member Sharon Woodford questioned whether the Lakes had on-site day care facilities. Mr. Wells explained that there is a day care that has been there for years. He explained that it is located in the older Lakes near the apartments. Ms. Woodford questioned whether Polygon had considered a day care facility for the PUD development. Mr. Wells explained that the day care facility at the Lakes community seems to be doing well;however,the Lakes is a much larger project with 240 acres and approximately 2400 units. Board member Ron Harmon questioned the total acreage of the land under consideration. W. Wells explained that the site is 202 acres. Mr. Harmon commented that 202 acres is not much different from the 240 acres at the Lakes. Mr. Wells explained.that the Lakes was zoned for a much higher density. The land under consideration for the PUD development is zoned three units per acre. Vice Chair Brad Bell commented that at three units per acre and 202 acres that would allow for over 600 units not the three hundred as previously referenced. Mr. Wells explained that any reference made to 300 units was a standardization of three units per acre based on a flat one hundred acre site not the project specific site. Mr. Wells apologized for any confusion. Gary Young, Polygon Northwest; 4030 Lake Washington Boulevard #201, Kirkland, WA 98033. Mr. Gary Young explained that he is the principle of Polygon Northwest. Polygon is a family based business that started in 1974. He explained that he has personally worked in the City of Kent since 1980. Polygon has invested seventeen years on a number of different developments. He explained that land that is remaining for development is land that typically has much more environmental sensitivity to it The more difficult properties are generally the last to be developed_ Mr. Young explained that they are not asking for a something specific to benefit their company. They are asking for an opportunity to work on a specific property. He commented that they do feel that there are other opportunities in the City that this change could benefit. #ZCA-97-2 CM-1 ZONaVG D/SMICTREGULATTONS #ZCA-97-3 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPAIE 7= #ZCA-97-5 GENERAL CONDMONAL USES Land Use and Planning Board Minutes July 28, 1997 Page 11 He explained that this is not opening the door or providing a single unique opportunity. This is providing an opportunity to plan and to take into consideration all of the needs of the City. Mr. Young explained that as a builder and having worked with the City in the past they have a keen sensitivity of the issues of Kent. They understand the needs for schools facilities and not to have Kent labelled an"apartment" community. Mr. Young explained that it is Polygon's intent to provide for a range of housing to allow unique ownership opportunities. He explained that this change could help Kent meet its target housing goals. Vice Chair Brad Bell MOVED and Ron Hannon SECONDED a motion to close the public hearing. Board member Ron Harmon commented that he supports the no density bonus and the master plan with phased development. He is concerned with a ten year time limit and would feel more comfortable with seven years. He would like the uses expanded to allow for in-home offices. He would like to see no more than two side by side units attached, a height limit of two stories above grade, and some provision for a cohesive agreement or conversations pursued with the school district. Mr. Harmon stated that he would like to see the proportion of 75% single family and 25 % multifamily. He also supports limited commercial uses such as a day care center, comer grocery, or dry cleaners. Chair Dowell questioned if day care centers were regulated. Planning Director Jim Harris explained that day care centers are regulated by the state and are allowed in single family zones. Mr.Brotherton commented that he would like the multifamily units limited to individual ownership. He remarked that 75/25 seems like a tough proportion. However,he would like to see a mix with greater than 50% single family. He suggested a letter of instruction to the Hearing Examiner to ensure that service quality for utilities and roads would not be degraded and if the services had-been degraded by one phase that it must be corrected before the next phase is built. Mr. Brotherton would like to see a limit on the number of side by side units. He felt two would be too limiting and would rather limit at four or five. Ms. Sharon Woodford supports the restriction of individual ownership and a height limit of two stories. Ms. Woodford remarked that limiting side by side units to two,is,too restrictive. Vice Chair Brad Bell commented that he supports thePUD concept and is pleased with Polygon's interest. However, Mr. Bell could not support multifamily development in a.single family zone under any circumstance. Board member Jerry Daman remarked that he is impressed with the whole process. He is comfortable with what has been presented and with staff s recommendation. He supports the height restriction of two stories and would like a provision for home occupations. #ZCA-97-2 CM-!ZONING DISTRICT REGULA77ONS #ZCA-97-3 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPAIENTS #ZCA-97-3 GENERAL CONDITIONAL USES Land Use and Planning Board Minutes July 28. 1997 Page 12 Mr. Harris explained that home occupations are allowed outright if they meet certain criteria. Mr. Harmon suggested restricting parking to no on-street parking and Chair Dowell recommended no retail, no commercial, and no apartment or rental units. Mr. Young commented that if a restnction was made to require 75% single family and 25% multifamily their project would be not be economically viable. He commented that 25% single family and 75%multifamily would be feasible. Mr. Young also commented that limiting six units per building is acceptable. Ms. Woodford asked if staff had some feedback based on the Board's discussion. Mr. O'Neill explained that the ownership issue would require a legal interpretation but he felt that the City would probably not be able to require ownership of individual units. He suggested that this be left as a part of the Board's recommendation but would be dependent upon a legal interpretation by the City Attorney. Mr. O'Neill commented that a height limit could be added to the recommendation. He suggested that another option would be to regulate any development in a single family PUD to the single family height limit which is thirty-five feet(35') in the single family zone. Chair Dowell questioned how high thirty-five feet would be. Mr. O'Neill explained that this would be two and a half stories or thirty-five feet. Mr. O'Neill explained that if the Board would like to consider a proportionate amount of single family versus multifamily they would need to come up with a recommendation. W. Harmon questioned what Polygon would be able to live with. Mr. Young commented that 25% single family is the most they could handle. W. Brotherton commented that with the unique features of this specific piece of land it is,somewhat restrictive with how it can be built out. He remarked that another project may not have the same constraints. Mr. Brotherton suggested leaving a proportion up to the judgement of the Hearing Examiner. Mr. Harmon asked for the staffs recommendation. Mr_O'Neill explained that there was no staff recommendation for a specific proportion in the staff report He explained that an application would be reviewed by staff,by surrounding property owners in a community meeting,in a formal public hearing in front of the Hearing Examiner, and by the City Council. Given this extensive review process,plus the SEPA and multifamily design review process, staff did not feel that it is necessary to specify a certain percentage. Mr. Brotherton commented that he agrees with what Mr. O'Neill is saying. Putting a specific number on a requirement is too limiting.

Harris) Planning Director Jim Harris explained that there are a lot of private schools in Kent. He explained that in fact,there are two schools, within two blocks of where we are sitting tonight,that didn't go through any type of review. There is nothing in the regulations that require private schools to go through a review process. Mr.Harris commented that private schools are very popular today as an alternative to public schools. He explained that private schools are not considered in the general conditional use section of the zoning code. He is recommending an amendment to general conditional uses to give private schools the same requirements as public schools. Mr. Harmon questioned whether there was any dialogue with the public schools regarding this matter. Mr. Harris explained that this isn't competition to public schools. Board member Sharon Woodford questioned whether a school could be located next to an adult bookstore. Mr.Harris explained that Kent has established adult use guidelines which do not allow an adult use within 1,000 feet of a school. He explained that if a school already exists an adult use can not be within 1,000 feet and if an adult use already exists a school will not locate within 1,000 feet.

AMENDMENT TO THE PT ANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE - (K. O'Neill) Senior Planner Kevin O'Neill explained that the City received a request for a regulatory review to amend the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Ordinance from Polygon Northwest. Mr. O'Neill explained that currently the City does not allow PUD developments in single family zones. Mr. O'Neill explained that Polygon is requesting amending the Ordinance to allow PUD's in single family zones when the area being developed is 100 acres or greater, allow attached units, and allow for flexibility in phasing development. He explained that requiring a minimum of a 100 acre site will restrict the application of the amendment. He explained that it is the Committee's responsibility to determine whether the regulatory review presented today merits further consideration. He stated that if this item has merit it would be the Committee's decision to forward this item to the Land Use and Planning Board for a public hearing. Eric Wells, 4030 Lake Washington Boulevard NE 9201, Kirkland, WA 98033. Polygon Northwest representative Eric Wells stated that there are few areas remaining within the City that are 100 acre sites that could be developed. He explained that Polygon's intent is to utilize the change to create a development that is very similar to the Lakes project. Planning Director Jim Harris stated that the Meridian Valley Country Club is a PUD development that is approximately 200 acres in size. He explained that the Country Club is part of the Meridian Valley Annexation and would become a legal non-conforming use without this amendmentto the PUD Ordinance. Mr. Harris also explained that there are few single family sites remaining that are ` 100 acres or greater. -4 Committee member Tim Clark questioned whether allowing these amendments wouldkeep the basic i integrity of the single family zone. Mr.Harris explained that staff will inquire into these issues when considering the specific rules and regulations to allow a broader use. 2 City Council Planning Committee Minutes April 15, 1997 Mr. O'Neill explained that the site in question is currently zoned three units per acre and is designated for three units per acre in the Comprehensive Plan. He explained that in terms of traffic impacts and other impacts the overall build out on this site would be consistent with what is envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Wells explained that the site being considered for development has sensitive areas which limit the development of certain areas. He stated that the amendment would allow the site to be better developed as a"master' plan and allow for more open space. Gary Young,4030 Lake Washington Boulevard NE,#201,Kirkland,WA 98033.

Bennett seconded the motion which passed 3-0. Vouchers in the amount of$2,761,645.95 were approved for payment. CIP Budget Change: Parks and Recreation Director John Hodgson stated that he had two or three issues for the Committees consideration. The first is the drainage at the Russell Road complex. He explained that the drainage had deteriorated over the last two years resulting in the fields having been wet for the past year. Consequently there was no fall softballl league because of the late start. He proposed that in addition to the $200,000 budgeted for improvement, $72,000 be transferred into the project from the master plan budget which is now done in-house. Hodgson stated that two fields would be done for this amount based on Fort Dent's recent project. He added that design work will be done for the whole complex but the seed money will be '1;r the first two fields. The due to the failure of last fall's bond issue,two projects proposed for funding, Garrison Creek and Linda Heights Park, still needed funding. John explained that when he came to the city, the parks system was aged and the department has rebuilt four parks and three playgrounds and planned to do three more playgrounds this summer. He noted that the parks rebuilt and scheduled had been accomplished with a variety of funding. He reviewed the funding proposal for Linda Heights Park with the committee including transfers from various projects and an allocation of$90,000 from unreserved funds. For funding of the Garrison Creek project,Hodgson proposed that of the $965,000 in the unreserved fund balance, $446,000 be transferred to the Garrison Creek project and reviewed the master plan with the committee. He luded that these are the last two parks that truly need to be rebuilt adding that the Salt Air Hills Park -ig applied for IAC funds with$100,000 grant matching. If approved, funds would also be allocated rt planning for the BMX track. Finance Director May Miller reviewed the capital f,:nd page distributed with the agenda noting the unallocated reserve balance and$150,000 grant matching fund. Committeemember Orr asked if the Russell R: -_d ball fields would be shut down for part of the season. Hodgson replied that when Fort Dent did their project, they did close down in July. He added that a ten game season is being considered with the condition that if they want to come back next year to play on the new fields they need to play in the ten game season. Orr asked if any other projects were being deferred. Miller responded that this proposal would not affect any other parks projects. Committeemember Bennett moved to recommend approval of a budget change reallocating $536,400 from the Capital Reserve Fund Balance and $100,000 from grant matclung funds to CIP accounts as outlined. Orr seconded the motion which passed with a vote of 3-0. M Meridian Valley-De" 'vlar Annexation Plans/ ` ` �aian V^llev Bud�¢er ALthorization �irector of Coerations Brent McFall reported that the Meridian Valley Annexation had submitted their 60% petition which had been verified and will be acted upon by the City Council tomorrow night. McFall reported that the Del Mar Annexation is also well underway with petitioners reporting I OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MINUTES, CONT. Anri 14a, 1997 over 40% signed to date with good response and hopes to turn in the 60% petition by mid-May. He noted that petitioners are hopeful that Del Mar will be annexed the first of July also. McFall stated that the budgets for both annexations are being presented but each may stand on its own from a revenue and expense standpoint. The differences between the two areas is reflected in the types of expenses for each, McFall noted. He concluded that the primary goal today is to look at the Meridian Valley Annexation and approve a budget change for Meridian Valley. In reviewing highlights, McFall noted that the two annexations result in the addition of 31 Net FTE positions with 24 of those in Public Safety and Maintenance. McFall reviewed the proposed positions with the Committee. He stated that hiring has been spaced out over time with the dates identified of anticipated hiring as a result of the phasing in of revenue as well as to manage the workload in Employee Services and Civil Service. McFall continued that the remaining expenses are a result of material and operating expenses after review of the Public Works and Parks needs of the area. May Miller reviewed the process of developing the budgets which utilized the computer models developed during the Meridian Annexation. After analyzing all the revenue anticipated, year three is budgeted first because it shows all expected revenue to balance against expenses. Department requests are received and balanced against the annexation revenue. Year one is budgeted as a six month budget in ~his case and a monthly flow of expenses and revenue are input. Miller noted that there are a number of one time expenses in the first year when revenue is low so a transfer from the CEP unallocated balance is proposed with revenue paying back the funds over year two and three. Miller - reviewed the year three budget with the Committee and distributed a corrected sheet for page three shor,,ing a transfer out of$70,000 and a repayment of the CIP fund of $131,952. Miller explained that the drainage fund will have a shortage of$33,000 the first year because residents will have already paid King County. She added that a basin rate adjustment will probably be needed in the Meridian Valley Annexation. May reviewed the remaining budget pages with the Committee. Committeemember Bennett asked how the Police Department would interface with a gated mmuniry. McFall responded that they are currently private streets and the community can choose, they wish, to keep it gated with private security but the Police Department will still have �sponsibiliry for police patrol and investigation of crimes committed inside of the gated community. During further discussion, Committeemember Orr stated that she recalled from a report on the Meridian Annexation that we were $600,000 in the ---d and expected to be $55,000 above expenses in the third year. She asked what the status is for the Meridian Annexation for this year. McFall responded that the second year is close to identical to the third year. Miller noted the diverted county road tax is the only difference. A discussion of revenue from Fire District 37 followed. McFall stated that he will report back the year end revenue/expenses for the Meridian Annexation. Committeemember Orr asked when the Del Mar Annexation would be effective if not July 1, 1997. McFall 7-2sponded that it depends on when the petition is received and whether the Boundary Review Bo-,,-.-takes jurisdiction. The 45 day period for the BRB to take jurisdiction has already begun. If the BRB takes jurisdiction, they have 180 days to hold public hearings which could push the date to January 1, 1998. :yter further discussion of time lines, Committeemember Bennett moved to -amend authorization to establish a budget for the Meridian Valley Annexation for 1997 as estimated per the attached exhibit. Orr seconded the motion which carried with a vote of 3-0. Pate 2 OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MINUTES, CONT. A� ' 14 1997 T Kent Reporter .on== Government Affairs Manager Dena Laurent reported that the Kent Reporter had recently approached the City regarding printing the City's newsletter,Kent Connections, in the newspaper. She noted that this item was considered in response to the Council's Target Issue for increased outreach and communications. Laurent noted that staff had contacted the City of Renton who had been producing their newsletter in conjunction with the Renton Reporter and were informed that Renton has had a very positive experience with this format. She noted that costs would be covered with salary savings and the current opportunity is to consider signing a contract for a trial basis through the end of the year. Laurent noted that there is a short time frame which would allow printing of the first City newsletter in the May 1 edition. She concluded that the stories would be written by staff with in-house graphics utilized. Committeemember Bennett stated that he had heard about the new newspaper but had not received one and requested that the item be brought back to another meeting. Bennett stated that he had heard questions on the editorial balance of the stories in the newspaper. Committeemember Orr asked if there was a savings in going to an outside newspaper. Laurent responded that it was clearly more expensive but would give more immediate news to the citizens than is currently offered and is basically a different tool for communicating with the citizens. After further discussion, Committee Chair suggested the item be deferred to the next Operations Committee Meeting. The Committee concurred. Centennial enter Update John Hodgson stated that this report was prepared to respond to the questions of the Council regarding oc- :aancy of the Centennial Center and parking questions. Hodgson reported that the Centennial Center .: -rently 95% occupied which is the minimum goal. A new lease was signed last week which has not been rolled into the financial picture yet. Hodgson stated that the parking garage currently has 71 stalls for use on the first floor with appropriate signage. In regards to employee parking, Hodgson stated that every stall has been assigned and it is assumed that if the monthly fee is payed they are utilizing their stall. Hodgson concluded that he will be checking to see if any employees wish to give up their stall and will fax a report to the Committee with the results of the inquiry. ig R_FP date Iiller reported that the deadline for proposals was March 14 and two banks had responded, U.S. Bank and Key Bank. Miller stated that a committee is reviewing the proposals and will be assigning points in five areas to determine the best proposal. 1998 Budget & CTP Calendar Miller reported that the Capital Facilities Plan is now updated yearly due to the Growth Management requirements which also requires an inventory of facilities, parks, etc. She reviewed the proposed budget calendar with the Committee noting that the budget process will start on June 17. Febrn^r• Fin n i 1 Report Miller :?viewed the February Financial Report with the Committee noting on page 9 that the general o months of the year. Miller noted the 0 fur revenue is$600,000 over budget for the first tw pages o s. received over budget L-. .aies tax with April the deadline for exemptions. The new summary pages for tax was reviewed on page 14 as well as the new detail pages for gas, garbage, cable, telephone, ater utility taxes. The increasing fund balance to 9.1%was noted on page 33 which Miller stated Page 3 OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MINUTES, CONT. An,-�l 14y 1992 was expected to be at 10% by year end. Miller concluded by reviewing the increased fund balance of the Capital Improvement Funds with the one-time only added items. Added Item: Orr asked what the status of the RJC food service shuttle bus was, asking if there would be a ten minute turn around during the lunch hour. McFall replied that the transportation staff is pricing out and will have figures shortly on a downtown loop that would operate between 11:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. McFall noted that the quarterly Cable TV and Small Claims reports were included in the agenda packet. There being no further business, Committee Chair Johnson adjourned the meeting at 5:36 p.m. Page 4 OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MINUTES April 29, 1997 - COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT: Jon Johnson, Chair; Jim Bennett, Leona Orr STAFF PRESENT: Tom Brubaker, Ken Chatwin, John Hillman, Tim Huntington, Dena Laurent, Charlie Lindsey, Brent McFall, Kelli O'Donnell, Ron Spang MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC: Sharon Senn The meeting was called to order at 4:07 p.m. by Chairperson Johnson.

Bennett seconded and the motion carried with a vote of 3-0. Kent Reporter Contract_ Cont. Government Affairs Manager Dena Laurent stated that as requested she was bringing back before the Committee the proposal for the distribution of the City newsletter as part of the Kent Reporter. She stated that this would be a monthly issue replacing the quarterly issue currently printed as part of the Parks brochure. Committeemember Orr commented that she would liked to have seen a second edition of the newspaper before taking action on it and asked if insertion in the utility billing had been considered or a quarterly newsletter. She stated her concern that more money was being spent with the proposed cost of $45,000 for less than a year. She stated that she could not be supportive at this point in time and that it was not up to the City to insure the survival of this newspaper. McFall responded that this proposal is in response to the Council Target Issue on Community Outreach and it is the Council's choice whether to contract. During further discussion, Sharon Senn stated that she was a merchant on Meeker and the incoming President of the Kent Downtown Partnership (KDP) for which she has been serving on the marketing and promotion committee. Senn stated that this would be an affordable way to reach the most people in the community and stated that the KDP had advertised in the Kent Reporter with good response. She noted that she had heard back only good comments and this newspaper covers only our community. She stated the KDP is very supportive of the proposed newsletter as the city will only benefit from it. Senn added that this publication has a distribution of over 30,000 while the South Valley Journal only is distributed to 12,000 by subscription. Laurent noted that she had brought some issues of the Renton Reporter as examples for the Committee to review.
