A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, relating to adult retail
establishments; adopting findings of fact and renewing a
moratorium on the acceptance of applications for and
the issuance of any business license or any building,
land use, or development permit or approval for adult
retail establishments.
WHEREAS, the City Council, has previously determined, as set forth
through findings in Ordinance Nos. 3214 and 3221, that adult entertainment uses
cause negative secondary effects that are detrimental to the public health, safety, and
general welfare of the citizens of Kent; and
WHEREAS, there are adult bookstores, adult novelty, and adult video
store establishments (hereinafter"Adult Retail Establishments") doing business within
the City of Kent whose stock and trade is devoted in whole or in substantial or
significant part to books, magazines, cards, pictures, periodicals, pre-recorded video
tapes, disks, film, or other such media, instruments, devices, equipment, paraphernalia,
toys and novelties, games, clothing, or other merchandise which are distinguished or
characterized by an emphasis on matter depicting, describing, or relating to specified
anatomical areas, specified sexual activities, and sexual conduct as those terms are
defined in the Kent City Code Section 5.10.030; and
WHEREAS, there is a possibility that the City could, in the near future,
receive applications for adult retail establishments that would significantly increase
the amount of square feet of commercial space characterized by such uses located
within the City; and
Adult Moratorium Renewal
WHEREAS, the Kent City Code relating to adult retail establishments
may not adequately address the various impacts that these uses present and the
protection of the public health, safety, and general welfare would be jeopardized by
the establishment of adult retail establishments prior to adoption of new regulations by
the City Council; and
WHEREAS, other cities in the surrounding Seattle-Tacoma
Metropolitan Region and elsewhere in the country have adopted ordinances regulating
adult retail uses, based upon evidence of the negative secondary effects of such uses;
and
WHEREAS, the citizens of Kent would be well served if the City more
fully addressed and understood the potential negative secondary effects, in the form of
health, safety, economic, and aesthetic impacts these uses imposed upon neighboring
properties and on the community as a whole; and
WHEREAS, the City needs time to review existing information on the
negative secondary effects of adult retail establishments and to review the Kent City
Code in a comprehensive fashion to determine whether it sufficiently addresses the
negative secondary effects of such uses; and
WHEREAS, RCW 35A.63.220 authorizes cities to adopt moratoriums
provided a public hearing is held within sixty (60) days of adoption; and
WHEREAS, RCW 35A.63.220 provides that a city adopting a
moratorium shall adopt findings of fact immediately after the public hearing held
within sixty (60)days of adoption of the moratorium; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on Tuesday, November 17,
1998 before the Kent City Council, and after considering the matier, the City Council
adopted Findings of Fact and continued the moratorium until May 2, 1999; and
2 Adult Moratorium Renewal `"'
WHEREAS, as a result of research and analysis performed during the
moratorium, the City has concluded that adult entertainment, including adult retail
uses and bookstores, has negative secondary effects and that code amendments are
necessary to the Kent City Code to address such effects; and
WHEREAS, in order to allow staff sufficient time to thoroughly
analyze all of the information staff has gathered during the six (6) month moratorium,
to draft proposed code amendments and to present such code amendments to the Kent
Planning Board and the full City Council, staff is requesting a six (6) month renewal
to the adult use moratorium; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 35A.63.220, a public hearing was held
on April 20, 1999, to consider renewing the moratorium for a six (6) month period;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered all comments and
materials presented; and
WHEREAS, RCW 35A.63.220 provides that a city renewing a
moratorium shall adopt findings of fact prior to such renewal;NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Recitals and Findings of Fact Incomorated. The recitals
set forth in this resolution and Resolutions 1520 and 1521 are hereby incorporated as
if fully set forth herein and are hereby adopted as additional Findings of Fact to the
extent they are not inconsistent with the Findings of Fact adopted in Section 2 of this
Resolution.
SECTION 2. Findings of Fact. The Kent City Council hereby adopts
the following Findings of Fact:
3 Adult Moratorium Renewal
A. The City has determined previously, through public testimony and the
receipt of other evidence, that adult entertainment uses cause adverse secondary
effects that are detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, protection of minors,
and the general welfare of the citizens of Kent.
B. Many of those adverse secondary effects are summarized in the
findings of fact contained in Ordinance Nos. 3214 and 3221 and Resolution No. 1520
and 1521 which are incorporated herein by this reference. Those adverse secondary
effects include significant criminal activity not limited to prostitution, illegal
employment of minors, narcotics, and alcoholic beverage law violations, breaches of
the peace, tax evasion, and harboring of persons with outstanding arrest warrants.
C. Those adverse secondary effects also include public sexual conduct on
the premises of adult entertainment businesses, which can facilitate prostitution and
related crimes. Such conduct also causes substantial public health and safety
concerns, not limited to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
D. The City has reviewed studies from other cities earlier presented to the
City Council concerning the adverse secondary effects arising from adult retail
establishments (a subset of adult entertainment uses), whose stock in trade is devoted
in whole or in substantial or significant part to books, magazines, cards, pictures,
periodicals, prerecorded video tapes, disks, film or other such media, instruments,
devices, equipment, paraphernalia, toys and novelties, games, clothing or other
merchandise which are distinguished or characterized by an emphasis on matter
depicting, describing or relating to specified anatomical areas, specified sexual
activities, and sexual conduct, as those terms are defined in the Kent City Code,
Chapter 5.10.
E. The City adopts by reference the studies from other cities that conclude
that adverse secondary effects from such adult retail establishments include increased
crime rates, depreciation of property values, deterioration of community character, and
a decrease in the quality of life.
F. The City adopts by reference the conclusions contained in such studies
that conclude that such adult retail establishments tend to concentrate in certain areas,
and that the proximity of those establishments to sensitive uses such as schools,
4 Adult Moratorium Renewal `"
residential zones, places of religious worship, and parks result in similar or increased
`.ram
adverse secondary effects.
G. Although reliance on these studies may result in decisions by the City
to regulate the location of such adult retail establishments, the City believes that the
characteristics of such establishments within the City may have an impact on the type
and manner of regulation which the City chooses to employ. The City finds that
additional review of such other studies on the secondary effects of adult retail
establishments is necessary to determine what regulations are appropriate.
H. As a result of these studies, staff will prepare and present to the Land
Use Board and City Council for consideration proposed amendments to the Kent City
Code to address the negative secondary effects of such adult uses.
1. A renewal of the moratorium established by City of Kent Resolution
No. 1521 until October 29, 1999 is necessary to take such additional action.
SECTION 3. Continuation of Moratorium. Based on the Findings of
Fact adopted in Sections 1 and 2, the City Council hereby determines that it is
necessary for the moratorium enacted in Resolution No. 1520 and 1521 to be renewed
for an additional 180-day period. Accordingly, the moratorium shall not expire until
midnight on October 29, 1999, unless the moratorium is shortened or extended by
action of the City Council or until the effective date of any ordinance establishing new
regulations governing adult retail establishments, which ever is sooner, and during
said moratorium, no business license and no building, land use, or development permit
or approval shall be issued nor shall any such permit or license application be accepted
for any adult retail establishment as defined in Kent City Code 5.10.
SECTION 4. Staff Review. During the six (6) month extension, staff
will continue its analysis and review of studies and ordinances from other jurisdictions
addressing the negative secondary effects of adult businesses including adult
bookstores. Staff will draft proposed amendments to the Kent City Code covering
regulation of adult establishment businesses. The draft amendments will be presented
to the Kent Planning Board and the full City Council as appropriate for consideration.
"' 5 Adult Moratorium Renewal
SECTION S. Temporary Use Permits. Notwithstanding the
moratorium in Section 3 above, any adult retail use establishment which satisfies all
criteria applicable to its underlying zone may be permitted under a temporary use
permit if it meets: (a) the requirements of KCC 15.08.270; and (b) other applicable
criteria under the Kent City Code, including those set forth in Title 15 KCC for
issuance of a temporary use permit.
SECTION 6. Severability. If any section, subsection, paragraph,
sentence, clause, or phrase of this resolution is declared unconstitutional or invalid for
any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this
resolution.
SECTION 7. Ratification. Any act consistent with the authority and
prior to the effective date of this resolution is hereby ratified and affirmed.
SECTION& Effective Date. This resolution shall take effect and be
in force immediately upon its passage.
PASSED at a regular open public meeting by the City Council of the City

3
Kent City Council Minutes April 6, 1999
ZONING CODE Linda Phillips of the Planning Department
AMENDMENTS explained that the Downtown Design Guidelines
were proposed to serve as a basic set of guide-
lines for each of the seven downtown districts
identified in the Downtown Strategic Action Plan.
She noted that a public meeting, two workshops
and a public hearing were held on this issue.
Phillips then gave an overview of the project
including the history of design guidelines in
downtown Kent and the existing process used to
review applications. She showed slides and
discussed Central Avenue as it is today, and
general design guidelines . She then explained
the highlights of the proposed guidelines and how
they differ.
Phillips noted for Yingling that the guidelines
include defining the character of the area and
putting in place measures to encourage certain
kinds of developments in certain areas, that if
the proposed guidelines are adopted Central
Avenue would be more welcoming and pedestrian-
friendly, and that architects will be encouraged
to use the guidelines . Clark expressed concern
about the ability to cross Central Avenue,
especially at Smith Street; Phillips explained
that crossings could be worked on through the
street standards or the transit oriented design.
Clark suggested that a pedestrian overpass
could be provided for in the long term plan.
Brotherton complimented Phillips for her work on
this project, and Phillips said the consultant
deserves credit also. Orr expressed appreciation
for guidelines rather than strict rules and
regulations, since guidelines will encourage more
developers to be involved. Woods commended
Phillips for the visuals.

Board' s recommendation of approval of the pro-
posed Kent Downtown Design Guidelines - Central
Avenue District, per the April 6, 1999 memo, and

Code amendment relating to the siting of group
homes in the early 1990 ' s . He explained that
staff felt it was necessary to look at the
regulations based on a 1995 U. S . Supreme Court
ruling. It was their feeling that some minor
modifications should be made to the definitions,
and the Board recommended that the terms "family"
and "Class Three Group Home" be amended.

AN ORDINANCE of the City of Kent,
Washington,relating to the definition of group homes and
amending the Kent zoning code, sections 15.02.135 and
15.02.173.
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted an ordinance relating to the
regulation of group homes in 1991,based on amendments to the Federal Fair Housing Act
adopted by Congress in 1988; and
WHEREAS,the amendments pertain to the siting of group home facilities;
and
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 2958,adopted in 1991,amended the definition
of"family" and created class I,class II, and class III classifications for group homes;and
WHEREAS,the ordinance also defines where the various classifications
of group homes could locate within the City of Kent; and
WHEREAS. Ordinance No. 2958 amended the definition of"family" by
limiting the number of unrelated individuals living together in a dwelling unit as a single,
non-profit housekeeping unit to six persons; and
1 Group Homes
WHEREAS, class I group homes were not excluded from the definition
of"family," but identified a housing capacity for class I group home residents from seven
residents up to a number based upon the density of the underlying zoning district; and
WHEREAS,by not excluding class I group homes from the definition o
"family" there was an appearance of inconsistency between the number of unrelated
individuals who were allowed to reside in a class I group home; and
WHEREAS, the land use and planning board reviewed the group home
regulations and a current United States Supreme Court case, City of Edmonds v. Oxford
House, Inc., 115 S. Ct. 1776, 131 L. Ed.2'd 801 (1995), at a workshop on March 8, 1999;
and
WHEREAS,the land use and planning board determined that with regard
to class III group homes,no occupancy limitation is referenced; however, the Washington
Administrative Code Chapters 137-56 and 137-57 regulate class III group homes and they
City of Kent zoning code regulations stipulate that class III group homes can only be sited
through a conditional use permit process; and
WHEREAS, the land use and planning board desired to reference the
restrictions provided in Chs. 137-56 and 137-57 WAC; and
WHEREAS,the land use and planning board held a public hearing on the
proposed amendments on March 21, 1999 and moved to accept the staffs
recommendation to amend the definitions of"family"and"class III"group homes;NOW,

RE: System Development Fee - Meridian Stormwater Capital Improvement
Program
There were questions raised at the most recent Public Works,/Planning Committee
meeting that were not adequately answered. As such, the attached memorandum
(Boos Creek Basin System Development Fee) explains the impact of what a system
development fee would have on the proposed rate structure.
Also attached is my memorandum explaining the computer modeling effort that was
completed during the study and the cost of one of the projects. At this time I am
requesting that Committee move this item forward to the next full Council meeting.
MOTION: Recommend authorization for Council to direct the City Attorney to
prepare the necessary Ordinance adopting the Meridian Stormwater Capital
Improvement Program.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
April 1, 1999
TO: Don Wickstrom
FROM: Paul Scot
RE: Soos Cree Basin System Development Fee
In establishing a system development fee for stormwater, I found
that of the jurisdictions in the proximity of Kent, only Auburn,
Des Moines and Renton have such a charge. The fee for Auburn and
Des Moines is $400 while Renton is $385. It seemed reasonable for
this analysis to us:e $400 as the system development fee in
projecting revenue.
Using the Growth Management Plan I extrapolated a rate of straight
-line growth for households in this basin at 1 . 03% . The resulting
ESU' s, excluding streets, are as follows :
2000 2001 2002 2003 2004
9132 9225 9318 9411 9504
Using $400 as the system development charge, the extra revenue that
would be generated based upon the 1 . 03% growth in ESU' s would be
$37, 200 annually.
The revenue requirements of this basin, incorporating the
additional money generated by a system development charge, would
result in the rates as summarized below:
2000 2001 2002 2003 2004
4 . 64 6 . 82 6 . 66 6 . 50 6 . 34
Because the rates fluctuate between 2001 through 2004 , it is my
suggestion that the rates be averaged for the four-year time period
so there would only be one required rate adjustment needed in 2001.
The modified rate structure would then be as follows :
2000 2001 2002 2003 2004
4 . 64 6 . 58 6 . 58 6 . 58 6 . 58
The comparison of the rates required to generate the needed revenue
to make the capital improvements in the basin with and without the
$400 system development fee, with the four year time period
averaged, are summarized as follows :
2000 2001 2002 2003 2004
With charge 4 . 64 6 . 58 6 . 58 6 . 58 6 . 58
Without charge 4 . 86 6 . 79 6 . 79 6 . 79 6 .79

:
FROM: Don Wickstro
RE: Meridian Stormwater Capital Improvement Program
I am writing to address several questions that came up both before and during the Public
Works/Planning Committee meeting with regard to the presentation on the Meridian Annexation
Area Stormwater Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The questions specifically relate to the
computer modeling effort that was completed during the study and the cost of one of the
projects. The questions and answers are as follows:
1) Why was Lake Meridian not included as impervious area in the model?
This question relates to the report-titled: "Meridian Annexation Area Hydrologic Analysis". The
source of the confusion may be the table at the bottom of page 8 or Tables 2 and 3 on pages 29
and 30 in the report. These tables correctly indicate that the lake is not treated as "effective
impervious area". This is a result of both the definition of "effective impervious area" and the
structure of the HSPF model used for the hydrologic analysis.
Effective impervious area is an area where there is no opportunity for surface runoff from an
impervious site to infiltrate into the soil before it reaches a conveyance system (pipe, ditch,
stream, etc.). Impervious areas and pervious areas are "land types" that have specific areas and
parameter sets that are programmed into the model. In HSPF programming language, these areas
are called 'TAPLNDs" and "PERLNDs". Open channels and lakes are characterized separately
from the R-APLNDS and PERLNDS in the model. In HSPF programming language, these open
channel reaches and lakes are called "RCHRES's" and have their own parameter sets.
Hydrologic flux and balance calculations are completed for both the land types (PERLNDs and
BVLNDs) and the open water segments (RHRES's), guaranteeing that the hydrologic cycle is
simulated in its entirety.
2) Streamflows seem to increase dramatically downstream of the outlet of Lake Meridian.
Is this a result of discharges from wetlands along the flow path?
Streamflows do increase in the downstream direction as expected, with the increases generally
explained by increases in tributary drainage areas. Wetlands may function to either move
groundwater to surface water—"discharge", or move surface water to groundwater—"recharge".
Wetlands also provide for surface and subsurface storage of water. These functions may vary �..
seasonally. The exact hydrologic timing and function of a specific wetland is difficult to
determine without monitoring using surface flow and crest gauges and shallow and deep
piezometers.
Streamflow in the Lake Meridian Watershed was simulated by four RHRES's (see discussion
above). Streamflows are extracted from the model at the downstream end of each RHRES.
Straunflows for a range of return periods under the current land use scenario are presented in
Table 7 of the report titled: "Meridian Annexation Area Hydrologic Analysis". Flows expected
under the future land use scenario are presented in Table 10. Data for the four Lake Meridian
RBMS's are listed at the top of the table.
The tables show that, under both current and future conditions, for the 25-year event,
streamflows increase in the downstream direction in relation to the increased tributary area. For
example, under the current conditions scenario, flow at the outlet of the lake is 11.7 cfs, increases
to 15.8 cfs at the cross culvert under 152d (approximately 1,400 feet south of Kent Kangley
Road), and is 23.9 cfs at the confluence of the outlet channel and Big Soos Creek
3) What alignment does the Lake Meridian Outlet Channel follow downstream of its
beginning at the Lake Meridian Park? Does it flow directly east to Big.Soos Creek?
The alignment of the Lake Meridian Outlet channel was investigated using several approaches:
1) Public Works staff walked the channel on two occasions, 2) a survey crew completed a
channel survey and the resulting information was used to develop a map of the stream location
and associated channel cross sections, 3) staff from two consulting engineering firms walked
sections of the channel. As a result of these activities, the following alignment was identified:
• The outlet channel begins at the Lake Meridian Park at the Southeast corner of the Lake, and
continues through a series of culverts in the park and a culvert across 152"d Way SE
• Starting on the east side of 152"d Way SE, the channel follows a route through a forested
area. The channel continues through this area, outletting to a long swale/pond on the west
side of the Cascade Villa Mobile Home Park. From the swale/pond outlet, drainage flows
through a series of culverts on the east side of 152"d Way SE, including a culvert crossing
Kent Kangley Road from the Northeast to the Southwest.
• Drainage then flows through a wetland area west of 152"d Ave SE and south of Kent Kangley
Road. A culvert conveys flow across 152"d Ave to the start of a channel on the east side of
152"d Ave. This straight channel continues along an alignment just east and parallel to 152"d
Ave until the outlet at Big Soos Creek south of Highway 18.
There is no direct surface connection of the channel with Big Soos Creek other than the
confluence south of Highway 18. However, as described on page 4-8 of the report titled:
"Meridian Annexation Area Hydraulic Analysis and Capital Improvement Plan", the Public
Works Department is currently examining the feasibility of constructing a new channel to
convey flows from Lake Meridian more directly to Big Soos Creek. One potential alignment for
this new channel is shown in Figure 6 of the same report as a red line labeled "LM-2".
4) Why was the HSPF model used when it is an older model that is not very "user-
friendly"?
The HSPF model is an older model. In fact the currant releaw is the I I*version of the model.
It is the only model available that accurately simulates the entire hydrologic cycle over extended
periods of time. In addition, it is an EPA supported mold that is very well documented. The
model has been used extensively throughout Puget Sound in development of Basin Plans that
recommend capital improvements, and resource management and land use Policies. It is not
"user friendly".
5) How was the model calibrated? Why wasn't verification completed?
As described on pages 5, 11, and 12 of the report titled: "Meridian Annexation Area Hydrologic
Analysis", the model was calibrated using lake level (stage) data from Lake Meridian for the
period October 1994, 1995, and 1996. As described in the report, calibration requires selecting
appropriate parameter values that represent the physical hydrologic processes for the watershed,
testing the values by comparing the model results with recorded streamflow or stage data, and
modifying parameter values where appropriate to achieve a better match between simulated and
recorded results.
Verification is a separate step that involves comparing the output of the calibrated model with'a
separate period of observed flows to "verify" that the model is accurately representing
hydrologic processes. An additional two to three years of observed data, separate from the
calibration time period, is required for verification. Therefore, collection of data for verification
would have delayed completion of the study two to three years.
Calibration results are shown in Figure 4, page 27 of the report. Simulated lake levels are
generally within 6" of recorded levels. The parameters used for the Lake Meridian Watershed
were also used for the other watersheds. The same soil types/geologic units located in adjacent
watersheds will generally exhibit the same hydrologic characteristics. Therefore, the success of
the calibration in the Lake Meridian Watershed indicates the same level of success in the
adjoining watersheds.
It should be kept in mind that no model can ever replicate the complex processes involved in the
natural hydrologic cycle. However, computer modeling, coupled with direct field observations
of flooding and a design process that includes a factor of safety to account for uncertainty, is an
important tool to be used in development of solutions for flooding.
6) What is the cost for the Lake Meridian Outlet Channel project? What is the justification
for the project?
The hydraulic modeling indicated that all of the culvert crossings south of SE 276' Place along
the Lake Meridian Outlet Channel are undersized. In addition, the channel segment upstream of
the culvert crossing of 152 0 near SE 276h Place is undersized. Because 152°d Avenue is
designated as a principle arterial, as developments occur th erealong, improvement of 152d
Avenue to City standards is being required. As such, the issues relating to the channel have to be
addressed and to burden an individual owner therewith seems inappropriate. In addition to these
issues, the existing channel is severely degraded in terms of fisheries habitat. `�
ti... In response to the flooding and fisheries problems, a preliminary design and cost were developed
for a new channel to be located adjacent to 152ed Ave SE. The estimated cost for this project is
$3.7 million.
Another alternative to the north-south alignment for the new Lake Meridian Channel was
investigated. It would involve diverting some or all of the outflow from the lake to a channel
that would flow more directly to Big Soos Creek. Flow would be diverted beginning somewhere
just east of the existing lake outlet and flow in a north and east direction to connect with Big
Soos Creels. The pros and cons of this alternative are discussed in the report titled: "Meridian
Annexation Area Hydraulic Analysis and Capital Improvement Plan". The estimated cost for
this project is$2.4 million. Due to the greater uncertainty associated with regulatory approval of
this project and the need to provide conservative project estimates in the CIP, the cost for the
north-south alignment was included in the CIP.

Re: Meridian Stormwater Capital Improvement Program
The following memo provides background on the Stormwater Capital Improvement
Program and related stormwater utility rate changes proposed for the Meridian and
Meridian Valley Annexation Areas. Additional details relating to the Program and
proposed rates will be discussed at the March 1, 1999 meeting of the Kent City Council
Public Works/Planning Committee.
Two reports provided with this memo contain supporting information. They are:
• Meridian Annexation Area Hydrologic Analysis (AQUA TERRA Consultants, 1999)
• Meridian Annexation Area Hydraulic Analysis and Capital Improvement Plan (R.W.
Beck, 1999)
BACKGROUND
The 1996 Meridian and Meridian Valley Annexations added approximately 6.6 square
miles to the City of Kent. Prior to the annexations, stormwater service and stream
resource management was under the jurisdiction of King County. These areas generally
received a low level of service. Flooding and fish habitat problems were being addressed
based on a prioritization among other projects throughout the larger Soos Creek
Watershed. Several improvements were originally proposed in the Soos Creek Basin
Plan completed in 1990. That plan is now almost 10 years old.
In response to the annexations, the City initiated several studies to address stormwater
conveyance and fish habitat needs for the area. They included the following:
• A Fish Habitat and Population Survey to determine the presence or absence
of fish populations, the quantity and quality of existing fish habitat, and
identify habitat improvement needs (this study included other areas in the
city)
• A Hydrologic Analysis to quantify the changes in stormwater runoff rates
and volumes that are expected to occur as the area develops
,� • A Hydraulic Analysis and Capital L prevesaent Plan to: 1) analyze and
locate flooding problems and develop solutions; 2) compile habitat
improvements identified in the fisheries study and improvements identified by
other sources (agencies, tribes, etc.), and 3) develop a prioritized list with
associated costs for flooding solutions and fish habitat improvements
The main goal of the effort was to develop a Capital Improvement Program, with an
associated budget and schedule, that would address the stormwater and fisheries habitat
needs in the area. Funding mechanisms could then be developed to meet these needs.
BASIN ORIENTATION
A study area was established for completion of the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses.
The study area included the watersheds for three drainage systems which, in turn, are
tributary to Big Soos Creek. A map showing these watersheds is attached. While the
total area of the three watersheds is 8.2 square miles, 2.5 square miles are currently
outside the City limits.
The Soosette Creek Watershed contains the most complex drainage network of the three
study watersheds,.draining areas from as far north as SE 248s' St. Several-large wetlands
and a:regional detention facility are located in the watershed. The confluence of Soosette
Creek and Big Soos Creek is located beyond the City limits.
The Clark Lake/Meridian Valley Creek Watershed collects water from two tributaries—
one which originates north of the current city limits, and the other which includes Clark
Lake. The confluence of the tributaries is located in the vicinity of the SE 24cp St and
132nd Ave SE intersection. Downstream of the confluence, Meridian Valley Creek flows
towards the southeast through the Meridian Valley Country Club to its outlet to Big Soos
Creek at SE 25e and 148"' Ave SE.
The Lake Meridian Watershed is dominated by the lake, which covers almost half of the
watershed area. The outflow channel is the most highly degraded drainage system within
the study. area. Through the majority of its length it consists of a linear ditch running
adjacent to the east side of 152nd Ave SE. The ditch conveys outflow from the lake and
local stormwater runoff to Big Soos Creek where Big Soos flows under the Kent/Black
Diamond Road.
DVTLICATIONS OF THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT
It is expected that the Puget Sound Chinook are going to be listed as a threatened species
this spring under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). There are also indications that
Puget Sound Coho may also be listed within the next couple of years. These listings will
have implications for City resource management and land development. State and local
response plans are currently under development.
The creeks in the annexation areas are among the most productive, in terms of fisheries,
�' in the Lower Green River system. As a result of this and the "fisheries-focus" of state
and local agencies in response to the ESA listiW the Capital Improvement Plan
developed for the annexation area includes several fiAwit4elaW projects. The overall
objectives of these projects are: 1) preservation of existing fisheries resources and 2)
restoration to improve habitat where there has been some impact from urbanization.
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
A total of 39 flooding and fish habitat problems were identified during the studies. Most
of the flooding problems involve culverts that are undersized. New culverts are proposed
for 18 locations.
Identified fisheries problems include fish passage barriers that need to be removed and
riparian habitat problems such as a lack of streamside vegetation and insufficient
streambed gravels for salmon spawning. Thirteen projects have been developed to
address these problems.
Details relating to all of the problems and solutions are presented in the attached
"Hydraulic Analysis and Capital Improvement Program" report. (see Tables 2 and 5)
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM BUDGET AND SCHEDULE
The Capital Improvement Program is presented in the attached table. A total of
$10,311,300 in improvements are proposed, including $8,413,000 (82 %) in conveyance
projects to solve flooding problems, and $1,898,300 (18 %) in fish habitat projects. The
plan is scheduled for funding over a six year time period. .
The projects are presented in the table in prioritized order, based on the following
criteria:
• The magnitude and location of the flooding problem — the threat to life and property
and the flood hazard on major transportation arterials
• The need to complete projects in a sequence from downstream to upstream to avoid
exacerbation of existing problems
• Agency and Tribal input
• Grouping related projects
• Projects for which designs have been completed and/or easements have been secured
REVENUE AND RATES
Stormwater Utility fees will be the primary source of funding for implementation of the
Capital Improvement Program. A series of calculations and fiscal models were
completed to determine: 1) proposed stormwater rates and associated annual revenue, and
2) the approach for generation of revenue to fund the entire program within a 6-year time
period. --
Given the $10,311,300 total cost for the program and a six year funding schedule, the
following method for generation of revenue is planned:
• A 2-step stormwater utility fee increase, with the first increase from the current rate
of S2.36/month to $4.89/month implemented an January 1, 2000, and the second
increase from S4.89/month to $7.25/month implemented on January 1, 2001
• Funding would be generated on a "pay as you go" basis for the first five years.
Revenue bonds would be issued in the sixth year to cover the remainder of the capital
needs.
For comparison, current rate in the City's Mill Creek Basin is $7.25/month, and the rate
in unincorporated King County is-S7.09/month. Please keep in mind that prior to this
area annexing into the City, all properties were subject to and paying the County's
stormwater rate. While by 2001, our rate will be slightly higher than the County's, the
money generated will be used to construct improvements within the basin.
This is an introduction item at this time and we will be requesting"action" at the next
Committee meeting.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, imposing a moratorium on
the acceptance of applications for and the issuance of
any building, land use, or development permit or
approval for billboards.
WHEREAS, the City Council is currently reviewing its policies with
regard to the zoning and placement of off-premises signs as set forth in the Kent
zoning code (hereinafter"billboards") in the City of Kent; and
WHEREAS, a number of billboards are currently located in the City of
Kent; and
WHEREAS,there is a possibility that the City could, in the near future,
receive more applications for billboards that would significantly increase the number
of such signs located within the City, especially in light of the new corridor projects
planned or under construction in the City of Kent; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is concerned about the potential impacts
that such signs may create that would be detrimental to public health, safety, and
general welfare of the citizens of the City of Kent; and
WHEREAS, the Kent City Code relating to billboards may not
adequately address the various impacts that these uses present and the protection of the
public health, safety, and general welfare would be jeopardized by the establishment
1 Billboard Moratorium
of such establishments prior to a review of the matter and possible adoption of new
regulations by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of Kent would be well-served if the City more
fully addressed and understood the potential impacts in the form of health, safety,
economic, and aesthetic impacts these signs impose upon neighboring properties and
the community as a whole; and
WHEREAS, the City needs time to review existing information on the
affects of these signs and to review the Kent City Code in a comprehensive fashion to
determine whether it sufficiently addresses the impacts of such uses; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the protection of the health.
safety, and welfare supports imposing a moratorium on the acceptance of all
applications for issuance of any building, land use, or development permit or approval
under the Kent City Code for billboards until additional review has been completed
and any necessary code revisions have been adopted by the Kent City Council; and
WHEREAS, the Kent City Council understands that communication
displayed by billboards may be protected by the First Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution and/or Article I, Section 5 of the Washington State Constitution; and
WHEREAS, the Kent City Council does not intend by this resolution to
impermissibly infringe upon any protected free speech rights; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this moratorium is to provide time in which
the City Council may study its existing code, ordinances, and the impacts of such uses,
during this moratorium period; determine whether any additional, reasonable
regulation is necessary to mitigate the impacts; and prepare for adoption of
permissible restrictions to regulate such uses;NOW THEREFORE,

RE: Fire Records Management Software System/Purchase Recommendation
Prepared by: Stan Waldrop,Senior Systems Analyst •�(�
Background:
As part of the Technology Plan, a number of business systems were identified for replacement including
the Fire Records Management System (FRMS). The current FRMS is not Year 2000 compliant and is
unsupported by the current vendor.
Process:
The FRMS selection process began in June 1998 with the identification of key Kent Fire Department
requirements. These key requirements included:
• Must have a proven track record of interfacing with PRC Computer Aided Dispatch(CAD)systems
similar to the system in use at Valley Communications.
• Must be National Fire Incident Reporting Standard(NFIRS) 5.0 compliant.
• Vendor must have a significant presence in Washington State fire departments.
• Vendor must have a significant presence in the overall FRMS market.
Utilizing the criteria described above, a review of the FRMS market was conducted utilizing surveys of
current Washington State fire departments and evaluation of recent RFPs issued by fire departments
within the region. This research pointed to Sunpro,Inc. as the FRMS market leader. The factors that led
to this recognition included:
• Multiple installations and field-proven experience with automated data entry from PRC CAD
systems.
• Product is Y2K and NFIRS 5.0 compliant.
• Stable Washington State company that has produced only FRMS since 1984.
• Contract with Washington State Association of Fire Chiefs for statewide fire incident report
collection and production of the annual Washington State Fire Incident Report since 1992.
• Over 300 west coast fire department installations ranging in size from single station volunteer
organizations to large metropolitan areas including San Francisco,LA County, Las Vegas, San Diego
County.
• FRMS vendor for many neighboring agencies including:
• Auburn
• King County Fire District 40
• King County Fire District 43
• King County Fire District 44
• Kent Fire Department currently uses the Sunpro Training module from which we can upgrade to the
114✓ full FRMS product and automatically convert existing training data.
• Cerulean/Sunpro Message Switch(SMS)can interface with the PRC CAD system at Valley
Communications to support automatic incident record creation and completion.
• SMS allows other Valley Communication users to participate in automated data entry to their Sunpro
FRMS with anticipated cost recovery to the City.
Based on these factors,a scripted demonstration was conducted to determine if the product satisfied Kent
Fire Department's functionality requirements. Upon completion of this demonstration,it was determined
that the Sunpro FRMS met or exceeded Kent Fire Department's requirements.
Under the City's procurement code Sec. 3.70.080, a procurement requirement waiver may be granted
upon a finding that the materials, supplies,equipment,or services are subject to special market
conditions, involve special facilities or services or that a bid or RFP would not be practicable or in the
City's best interest. Based on the requirement to interface with the Valley Communications PRC CAD
system and the City's current use of the Sunpro Training Module,the Fire and Information Services staff
have determined that issuing and evaluating an RFP would not be in the City's best interest. The Mayor
has concurred with staff recommendation and authorized waiving advertising bid requirements pursuant
to Sec. 3.70.080 of the City's procurement code.
Budget Impact and Summary:
The following is a summary of the projected Sunpro FRMS software cost:
Fire Records Management System $ 84,508
Includes Incident Tracking and Reporting,Training Management
Activity Tracking, Station Log, Personnel Management,
Occupancy Management,Inspection Management,Asset Management
Estimated Conversion Costs $ 8,000
Estimated Hardware Costs $ 50,000
10% Contingency $ 14,251
Total $156,759

To authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with Sunpro,Inc. for the purchase of a Fire Records System and

Re: Bid Award: Kent Fire Stations.
As part of the 1998-2000 Technology Plan, Fire Station 74 and the outlying Fire Stations were
identified for rewiring to meet Category 5 wiring specifications. We are coordinating this effort
ahead of incorporating these locations into the City's Wide Area Network (WAN) and before the
deployment of their new phone systems.
By deploying a wiring infrastructure that meets Category 5 wiring specifications, we are
implementing a solid and proven foundation that will allow computer equipment to communicate
with other networked resources at optimal speed and performance. A new wiring infrastructure
has a direct impact on productivity, reduces the time spent troubleshooting network wire
infrastructure anomalies, and prepares those locations to use new standardized technologies.
The bidding, bid review and project oversight is being handled through our consultants at
Northwest Information Services (NIS). NIS developed and published the Kent Fire Station
Wiring Request for Proposal Specification per Kent City Code and the City's Wiring Standard.
The City received 2 responses from the following vendors: BTS Communications and E-Z
Interface. Northwest Information Services carefully reviewed the responses and they are
recommending an award to the lowest bidder, BTS Communications.
BTS Communication's response was in the amount of$82,015.79, which is $20,985.00 below
our engineering estimate.
Recommendation Action:
Award the Kent Fire Stations' Wiring Request for Proposal to BTS Communications, subject to
City Attorney approval and Mayor's Signature.
Motion:
Authorize the Mayor to enter into a contract with BTS Communications for the Fire Stations
Infrastructure Wiring, subject to City Attorney approval, in the amount of$82,015.79.
Thank you.

Chair Judy Woods called the meeting to order at 3:32PM. One item was added to the agenda:
Electronic Voters' Guide for Municipal Elections.
AR11roval of Minutes of Marcia 1999
Committee Member Tim Clark moved to approve the minutes of March 2, 1999. The motion was
seconded by Committee Member Sandy Amodt and carried 3-0.
Aouroval of Combined Check-Detail Vouchers Dated 3/15/99
Tim Clark moved to approve the vouchers dated March 15, 1999 in the amount of$2,122,153.02.
The motion was seconded by Sandy Amodt and carried 3-0.
Performance Measures—Consultant Contract
Dena Laurent, Government Affairs Manager,reiterated that one of the 1998 Council targets was to
explore the use of Performance Measures as a management tool for evaluating City service delivery.
The City budgeted funds to hire a performance measure consultant and to conduct a customer
�✓ satisfaction survey. A Request for Proposal was drafted and distributed nationally, and twelve
proposals were received in response. The proposals were evaluated and Management Partners was
selected as the consultant to do the work. The contract calls for compensation of$34,930, which is
within the budgeted funds available for the project.
The timeline for the project calls for selection of the measures in April, and then conducting the
customer satisfaction survey in July and August. Input from the upcoming Community Summit and
Council Retreat will be incorporated in the survey. Throughout the project, attention will be paid to
communication, its efforts and the results that it brings,both with employees and residents.
Ms. Laurent handed out sample measurements from Management Partners that they had developed in
working with other cities. Operations Director Brent McFall added that Management Partners was
impressive because they got away from just academic exercises and simply collecting data and
analyzing it. He said time would be made with the consultants to receive information from the
Council as well as management. It is important to carefully select items to measure and to look at
measurement items that can be compared with other cities in a benchmarking process.
Tim Clark moved that the Operations Committee recommend to the Council approval of the contract
for Performance Measures Consulting Services with management Partners in the amount of$34,930.
The motion was seconded by Sandy Amodt and carried 3-0.
Electronic Voters' Guide for Municipal Elections
Tim Clark said the purpose for this item was to establish a policy to handle a problem experienced in
the last election. The State Department Voters' Guide, which was distributed by King County sends
out very little information on local candidates and the voter never gets a chance to see
Operations Committee,3/16/99 Page 2
who the candidates are, except for incumbents, until after the election has taken place. Mr. Clark
offered a proposal that had been on the floor during the October 1997 election as a starting point
basis for a current proposal.
One of the considerations in that particular proposal was the length of airtime to be given to each
candidate as there would be four races in the primary and another two in the general election. If the
time for each candidate was four minutes,that would equal a total of 32 minutes of airtime. The
intent would be to give each candidate one minute for a personal biography to explain his/her
background and quest, and then time to respond to two questions which race would not be treated the same as forucouncild be�l members as
oved by the
Council and others. The mayor's raas the
mayor is the only full-time elected employee and that race should receive more airtime.
Judy Woods asked Mr. Clark to work closely with Mr. McFall and staff and bring a proposal to the
next Operations Committee meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:55PM.

Aooroval of Minutes of March 1. 1999
Committee Member Tom Brotherton moved to approve the minutes of March 1, 1999. The motion
was seconded by Committee Member Rico Yingling and carried 3-0.
Progo`ed Interlocal Annexation Agreement BLtyum Kmt and Renton
Planning Director Jim Harris reminded the Committee that Administration had been directed to work
on a problem that had arisen the last time the item had come before the Public Works/Planning
Committee. There were questions concerning the eastern leg of the 19rd/l960' Corridor Project and
how de-annexing an area adjacent to SR167 would affect Kent's ability to acquire a right-of-way for
the corridor project in the future. He said Operations Director Brent McFall had talked with the City
Administrator of Renton and they worked a solution to the problem. Renton has withdrawn its desire
to annex the subject strip of land. Mr.Hams showed the Committee Members a map detailing the
area in question, and described the proposed future annexation boundaries between Kent and Renton.
Committee Member Tom Brotherton moved that the Public Works/Planning Committee recommend
to the Council to approve the Proposed Interlocal Annexation Agreement between Kent and Renton.
The motion was seconded by Rico Yingling and carried 3-0.
CoDdemnation—East Hill Interceptor Easements
Assistant City Attorney Tom Brubaker presented an Ordinance in Eminent Domain or Condemnation
to provide the Attorney's Office the authority to condemn certain properties so a sanitary sewer line
could be constructed for a station known as the Del Webb sewer. The sewer is fast reaching its
maximum capacity and needs to be rebuilt. All of the alternatives have been looked at and the only
feasible route financially is the one selected which will go through a number of residential backyards.
Staff is negotiating with the property owners and hope to not have to condemn all of the properties
that will be listed in the ordinance. Building the sewer line is necessary,.and authority is needed to
move forward to file lawsuits if negotiations with property owners are not successful.
There are 28 total properties with 15 having settled and 13 not. There are no houses impacted,but
there could be some outbuildings which may have to be moved, restored, or replaced. There is one
business, a daycare, on one property and negotiations are ongoing in trying to settle the issue of
having a reasonable backyard playground for the children.
The procedure of notification to property owners is to go directly to the home, explain the project and
try to purchase an easement. Each parcel has it's own individual characteristics. Price cannot always
be agreed upon and may be determined by whether it's encumbered with wetlands or setbacks. It's a
significant intrusion and property owners can no longer build on the easement,but may be able to
N*.• landscape it. If negotiations are not successful, an eminent domain ordinance is passed. Negotiations
are continued,but ultimately a court action is filed. The trial is two-phase with a determination first
Public Works/Planning Committee, 3/15/99 Page 2
of whether the property is being taken for necessary public use. The second phase is how much to
pay. The City will hire an appraiser and get a certified appraisal on the property. �.,.
Tom Brotherton moved that the Public Works/Planning Committee recommend to the Council
adoption of the Condemnation Ordinance. The motion was seconded by Rico Yingling and carried
3-0.
3'd Ave. Storm Drainage LID between the Union
Gary Gill, City Engineer, said the 3'd Avenue Storm Drainage LID project
is Pacific Railroad tracks and the Burlington Northern railroad tracks in the southern portion of Kent
north of the Green River. It's an area where there has been ongoing storm drainage problems,
primarily due to the lack of systems that can adequately convey storm water from the properties
there. The southern portion is mostly industrialized property,some developed and some not. A
petition has been received asking the City to look into the possib�ty oof fforminggvements in e areas
Improvement District for the construction of storm drainage imp
The City has purchased one of the pieces of property between l�`Ave. and P Ave. on the north side
of 259`h Street. That is the property where the City is proposing to install a storm water detention
system and a pump station that will pump storm water directly into the Green River. Pumping is
limited to a maximum of 30 cubic feet per second. If there is an excess of that discharging into the
system or when the river reaches certain levels,back up storage ponds will provide detention storage
until such time as the river level drops.
Six properties have signed LID covenants. Other properties have shown an interest in supporting a
Local Improvement District, and still others feel they don't want to support the project. From a legal
standpoint,only 40% support is required to take part in the LID,however staff hopes to obtain at
least 60% support.
Rico Yingling moved that the Public Works/Planning Committee recommend to the Council adoption
of the resolution setting a public hearing date on the formation of the LID for the properties shown on
the attached map. The motion was seconded by Tom Brotherton and carried 3-0.
Condominium Zoning
Fred Satterstrom,Planning Manager,recalled that Condominium Zoning was a topic on the
Committee of the Whole agenda and had been referred to the Public Works/Planning Committee for
further discussion. Mr. Satterstrom linked Condominium Zoning back to the Comprehensive Plan
policy that the Council had established. He said considerable discussion and policies in the housing
element of the Comprehensive Plan deal with encouraging homeownership opportunities and strive to
induce condominium or townhouse style housing. Mr. Satterstrom reviewed the methods previously
discussed for encouraging condominium type development in Kent.
Contract Rezoning would condition the rezoning of property on an agreement to fulfill certain
conditions, one of which would be to develop only condominium units. The agreement could vary
from rezone to rezone. The developer would agree to develop condominiums as part of a contractual
agreement between the City and the developer. Contract Rezoning is a legal and legitimate practice.
The Planned Unit Development Ordinance could be expanded to sites less than 100 acres in size.
PUDs are allowed in the Single Family residential zone. As the ordinance now stands there is very
limited application under the PUD regulations. Units may attach in a townhouse configuration, but if
Public Works/Plaaning Committee,3/15/99 Page 3
they do, they must be condominiums. Council would have the option of expanding that PUD
ordinance to effect smaller sized areas.
The Townhouse Zoning District would entail to attachedon of a�lal zoning a common district which
The City flow
one unit per lot,but which would allow units g
Des Moines has created an ordinance where they allow up to 12 units per acre. They must be platted
and therefore owned and cannot exceed a two-story or townhouse design. There are no stacked units
but are side-by-side units. Applicants would request a rezone and the Council would be the final
arbiter of whether or not they wish to rezone a specific piece of property to townhouse.
Overlay or Incentive Zoning would take the existing multifamily zoning districts and create an
incentive clause such as a density bonus for condominium type developments in existing multifamily
areas.
These methods are not mutually exclusive. A townhouse zoning district could be created that would
also have a density bonus for condominiums in existing multifamily zones. Some variations could be
done with the PUD ordinance as well. The City is trying to create a variety of housing to encourage
all income groups. Through the housing policy the City could require a certain percentage or number
of units to be made affordable or priced below market rate in order to address all levels of the income
market.
Tom Brotherton asked what the required number of perking spaces was for multifamily units. Fred
Satterstrom replied that for multifamily projects of less than 50 units the requirement is 1.8 stalls per
unit. For projects over 50 units,the requirement is 2 stalls per unit. Mr.Brotherton suggested that
one incentive for builders of condominiums close to mass transit would be to lower the number of
parking stalls that's required if the builders included some inclusionary units. Mr. Satterstrom said
that if the condominiums are genuinely located near a transit, and builders could demonstrate that
residents would avail themselves of the transit opportunities,there may be opportunity for parking
reductions. However, experience has shown that 2 parking stalls per unit are required for multifamily
use because that is what is needed.
Mr. Brotherton inquired if a contribution toward parks was required for multifamily housing as well
as single family. Mr. Satterstrom said the parks fee was not charged for multifamily,however a
school impact fee was charged but at a different rate than for single family. A 25%open green area
space is required for multifamily which means that 25% of the site must be landscaping or open
space,not covered by parking or buildings.
Tim Clark said that he would like to direct planning to explore what other jurisdictions are
doing in opening up opportunities for affordable housing. City Attorney Roger Lubovich said
that some jurisdictions use a 20% density for affordable housing components. Rico Yingling
made the statement that condominiums and townhouses in themselves are more affordable,and
asked to distinguish between affordable and low-cost housing. Tom Brotherton said he would
be interested in seeing smaller condominiums, carriage houses, or small groups of privately-
owned,joined units, and requested that staff check out what other jurisdictions are doing
regarding that aspect.
Fred Satterstrom made a point against blanket policies. He said that if the City opens avenues
towards an increase in density for condominiums, it should not be on land that can only be accessed
through low-density residential streets,but should be on land that has direct access to an arterial street
Public Works/pWming Committee,3/15/99 Page 4
with some proximity to a transit station. Rico Yingling suggested a policy that would require
proximity to services.
Tim Clark asked about encouraging development from inherited permits granted by King County to
be changed to condominium style,or to encourage making at least part of the large blocks into
condominiums. Mr. Lubovich said that was an example where an incentive program of higher
density could be used to convert to a condominium package. He stressed about making a distinction
between existing multifamily zones and rezones. The incentive program is good for existing
multifamily to give them a reason to convert. Other avenues could be used if rezoning from a mixed
use area or commercial zone or in transition areas between residential single family or commercial
zones. Tom Brotherton inquired whether an ordinance existed on conversion of apartments to
condominiums. Tim Clark asked for that to be included in direction to staff on the impacts
seen from other jurisdictions.
Rico Yingling inquired about the status of two rezone requests brought before a previous Council
meeting and asked if this effort was going to help resolve those two rezoning questions. Fred
Satterstrom answered that those requests could be adopted without any conditions through a contract
rezone with an agreement from both developers to build condominiums. Or Council could wait until
new policy has been adopted specifying under what conditions they want to encourage
condominiums, and keep the rezones in abeyance until that time.
Mr.Yingling asked about a time line for resolving the issues. Mr. Satterstrom said that after Council
gives staff direction to develop policies,they will then have to go before the Land Use&Planning
Board for developing zoning regulations. The-time frame would be at least 60-90 days with the Land ".
Use &Planning Board, and then the issue would come back to the Council. He said four-six months
would not be an unreal time frame. If Council creates a townhouse zone that would go as a request
with the 1999 Comp Plan annual amendments.
Several builders d erlrl=e the C gMMjUee with-their concerns about condominium
.
zoning. Real Estate Consultant Hugh Leiper, 815 Reiten Road, stressed design and quality,not
quantity. Developer Roger Hebert, 3615 W. Valley North, Auburn, suggested that for condominiums
higher density bonuses would not be good, as they need parking and garages and should be like a
regular house but at affordable prices. He said condominiums dictate affordable within themselves
because they are higher density than a single house. Property owner Marie Lewis,25840 135 h Lane
SE said that home ownership is not always guaranteed with condominiums or townhouses,especially
if the market is on a downturn. Martin Durkan, Jr. 330 SW 43 d St.,Renton,representing the
Shulman property, said there are two issues to look at, affordable housing and subsidized housing,
and considered Contract Rezone as a tool that could be used successfully and would be good for the
City and the landowner. Developer Jerry Prouty, 27608 114'`Ave. SE. said Kent needs to improve
its diversity of housing and suggested looking at small 2-4 acre lots that could lend themselves to 12-
16 unit condominium zones. He highly recommended more units per acre.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:15PM.
