MEMORANDUM
September 21, 1999
MEMO TO: JIM WHITE, MAYOR, AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JAMES P. HARRIS, PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: PROPOSED HORSESHOE ACRES ANNEXATION AREA INITIAL ZONING
AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, #AZ-99-1, AND #CPA-99-1
LAND USE & PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION
Attached is the Land Use & Planning Board's recommendation on initial zoning and potential
Comprehensive Plan amendment for the Horseshoe Acres annexation area. The Land Use &
Planning Board conducted a public hearing on zoning and land use for the Horseshoe Acres area
_ on August 23, 1999, and made their recommendation at the conclusion of that hearing (see
attached minutes).
At the August 23rd public hearing the Planning Board received public testimony and was asked
to consider two zoning and land use plan map alternatives for the annexation area. Each zoning
and land use alternative is mapped and described in the staff report to the Planning Board dated
August 23, 1999, which is attached to this memo. After considering the public testimony, and
additional information and questions of staff, the Planning Board is recommending zoning and land
use plan reap Alternatives 2, with one clarification. The clarification involves the title of the land
use alternative maps. The title for land use alternative one was accidentally attached to the map
showing alternative two. The second map was in error in kind. This mistake has been corrected
on the maps attached to this memo.
By City ordinance, the City Council must hold two hearings on the proposed zoning, which also
includes consideration of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The first hearing is scheduled
for September 21, 1999, and the second is scheduled for November 2, 1999. By State law, the
hearings must be held at least 30 days apart from each other. Planning Department staff will be
available at the September 21" hearing to further explain the recommended zoning and land use
plan designations for the Horseshoe Acres annexation area.

MEMO TO: RON HARMON, CHAIR AND LAND USE & PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: MATTHEWS JACKSON, PLANNER/GIS COORDINATOR
SUBJECT: #AZ-99-1, #CPA-99-1 —HORSESHOE ACRES ANNEXATION ZONING AND
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
Introduction
On June 15, 1999, the Kent City Council passed Ordinance No. 3462 approving the annexation of
63 acres of land known as the Horseshoe Acres Annexation Area to the City of Kent. The site is
located in the south part of Kent between the Green River and the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe
Railroad tracks and between South 259' Street and the Green River. The Horseshoe Acres
Annexation Area officially became a part of the City of Kent on July 1, 1999. Upon annexation, the
area was given an interim zoning of SR-2, Single Family Residential, with a 2.18 units per acre
maximum density. All lands annexed to the City are given an interim zoning of SR-2 per the Kent
Zoning Code.
The City has six months after an annexation becomes effective to establish zoning designations
through a public hearing process. The first public hearing on zoning and a comprehensive plan
amendment for the Horseshoe Acres annexation area will be held in front of the Land Use &
Planning Board on August 23rd. Following the Board's hearing, their recommendation will be
forwarded to the City Council for consideration. Two hearings will be held by the City Council, and
by state law, these hearings must be held 30 days apart from one another. The first Council hearing
will likely occur in mid-September, while the second hearing will likely occur in mid to late October.
The City of Kent adopted its Comprehensive Plan under the provisions of the Growth Management
Act (Gb1A) in April 1995. As mentioned above, the plan includes a potential annexation area(PAA)
for the city. The Land Use Element of the plan includes a Land Use Plan Map that designates land
uses for the entire PAA, including the Horseshoe Acres annexation area. The land uses designated
#AZ-99-1/#CPA-99-1 Horseshoe Acres Annexation Zoning & Comprehensive Plan Amendment
August 23, 1999
Page 2
in the PAA for the Horseshoe Acres annexation area reflect the designations that King County had
established to implement its 1994 Comprehensive Plan. The GMA requires that all development
regulations adopted by a jurisdiction must implement, and be consistent with, the comprehensive
plan (RCW 36.70A.120). This means that the zoning for the Horseshoe Acres annexation area must
be consistent with the Land Use Plan Map in the comprehensive plan. Therefore, it may be
necessary to amend the Land Use Plan Map land use designations so that they are consistent with
new zoning.
Existine Land and Shoreline Use
Existing land uses in the Horseshoe Acres annexation area can be characterized as either residential
or industrial. Although a majority of lots contain residential uses, more than half of the total 63 acres
of land is either developed or under development for industrial uses. Opus Northwest is currently
developing the southern portion of the annexation area with a warehouse/distribution industrial park.
Businesses in the area include Jac Inc., Industrial Repair Service, Inc., and Donovan. Sahn
Construction Company appears to be vacant.
The recently completed census indicates there are 18 housing units located in the Horseshoe Acres
annexation area. Five of these units are mobile/manufactured homes. Seventeen of the eighteen
housing units are occupied. A population of 41 people calls this area home.
Under City of Kent Shoreline Master Use Program, residential uses require an one hundred foot
setback from the ordinary high water mark of the Green River. Industrial uses require two hundred
feet from the ordinary high water mark. In order to develop many properties in the annexation area,
shoreline variances will be required. Although it is more likely for proposed industrial uses to
require shoreline variances, any new industrial project will likely result in the aggregation of several
lots for adequate size.
The King County Land Use Atlas classifies the entire Horseshoe Acres annexation area as Industrial.
Likewise, the existing Kent Land Use Plan Map designates the entire site as Industrial.
Previous King County Zoning
All but four lots in the annexation area were zoned Industrial in King County. The four lots which
did not have industrial zoning were zoned R-1, Residential, one dwelling unit per acre. One of these
four lots is a portion of the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way. This zoning reveals an area,
which has been, and was intended to undergo a transition from residential use to industrial.
Analvsis of Two .Alternatives
Upon the completion of the August 9, 1999 Land Use and Planning Board workshop, staff has been
reviewing two final alternatives for annexation zoning. The first alternative would be to zone the
four parcels with R-1, Residential zoning under King County as SR-1, Residential Agricultural, one
XAZ-99-1/#CPA-99-1 Horseshoe Acres Annexation Zoning&Comprehensive Plan Amendment
August 23, 1999
Page 3
dwelling unit per acre. The remaining area would be zoned M1, Industrial Park. This alternative
would be the closest match to preexisting conditions. The Kent Land Use Plan Map would have to
be amended in order to implement this alternative. The lots zoned M1 would retain their Industrial
land use designation, but the lots zoned SR-1 would be reclassified as SF-1, Single Family
Residential, one dwelling unit per acre, on the Kent Land Use Plan Map. This would insure
consistency between zoning and land use plans as required under GMA.
The second alternative would be to zone the entire Horseshoe Acres annexation area as MI. A
gradual transition to new industrial uses in the area would likely result in new investment and
improvements in an area which contains a significant amount of junked vehicles, appliances, and
debris. All existing residential uses would be able to remain or be rebuilt under either zoning
alternative. The potential for shoreline use variances would be present under any zoning alternative;
however, industrial uses would have a greater setback requirement. Staff feels that this is consistent
with previous policy as represented under the King County Comprehensive Plan. The Kent Land
Use Plan Map would not have to be amended under this alternative because it already designates the
entire site as Industrial.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Land Use & Planning Board take the following actions:
1. Recommend to the City Council adoption of Zoning Alternative 2 as an amendment to the
City's Official Zoning Map, rezoning the entire annexation area to M1 (Industrial Park);
2. Recommend no change be made to the Kent Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan Map.

AZ-99-1/CPA-99-1 HORSESHOE ACRES .ANNEXATION
Planner Matthews Jackson presented staffs recommendation for the 63 acre Horseshoe Acres
annexation. The annexation site is located south of south 259ih, east of the Green River, west of the
railroad tracks and north of the Green River in the horseshoe bend on the south side of the citv.
%tr. Jackson stated that the Horseshoe Acres annexation area was approved by the City Council June
1� and officially became part of the City of Kent on July 1, 1999 with an interim zoning of SR-2.
Land Use and Planning Board Minutes
August 23, 1999
Page 2
Mr. Jackson stated that SR-2 zoning is given to all newly annexed areas until at which time public
hearings are established to set annexation zoning and complete any comprehensive plan amendments
required as a result of zoning changes.
Mr. Jackson stated that this meeting is the first of a minimum of three public hearings that this
annexation process will undergo. He stated that City Council is required to hold two public hearings
with a minimum of thirty days apart for annexation zonings.
Mr. Jackson stated that staff has evaluated two zoning and land use alternatives. He stated that King
County's land use designation for this site has been Industrial. Mr. Jackson said that this site was
designated in the City of Kent's 1995 Comprehensive Plan land use map as part of the potential
annexation area of the City of Kent and given an Industrial designation by the City Council at that
time.
Mr. Jackson stated that under King County's jurisdiction, two zoning designations were present with
the majority of the site zoned Industrial and three lots zoned R-1. He stated that even though three
lots had a land use designation of Industrial they had a zoning designation of R-1, Residential-One
Dwelling Unit per acre. _
Mr. Jackson stated that Alternative One would match the City of Kent designations to the previous
King County designations by retaining the (1)Industrial land use designation with one dwelling unit
per acre to maintain consistency with the City of Kent's Comprehensive Plan. The three other lots
would be designated as SF-I in order to maintain zoning consistency.
Mr. Jackson stated that Kent is looking at two zoning designations for the majority of the site
consistent with the (I) Industrial land use designation. Staff recommends•(M-1) Industrial Park
zoning which is the least intensive industrial use typically consisting of warehouse distribution type
operations.
Mr. Jackson stated that on the three lots with the County's R-1 designation, the City would apply
SR-1 (Single Family Residential/One Dwelling Unit per Acre density). Mr. Jackson stated that SR-1
is actually a residential agricultural designation allowing for similar type uses as King County's
previous zoning. Mr. Jackson stated that staff recommends this zoning as Alternative One.
Mr. Jackson stated that Land use Alternative Two proposes changing the site to (I) Industrial and the
zoning to M-1. Mr. Jackson stated that staff recommends that the Board consider Zoning and Land
Use Alternative 2 to amend the Kent Zoning Code for the Horseshoe Acres annexation area to M-1.
He stated that this would not require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Jackson stated that even though most of the site is zoned for industrial use the majority of the
individual lots are currently used as residential use. Mr. Jackson said that this is an area transitioning
to industrial uses with a large warehouse distribution project in progress on the southern portion of
the site. Mr. Jackson stated that it is not staffs intention with this recommendation to force
Land Use and Planning Board Minutes
August 23, 1999
Page 3
conversion to industrial use but rather to maintain consistency with policy established in this area
over the last few years.
Sharon Woodford MOVED and Terry Zimmerman SECONDED to open the public hearing. Motion
carried.
Sharon Ellis, 26524 79`h Avenue south stated that she owns the lot north of the industrial area
currently zoned residential and would like to see it remain residential. Mr. Jackson stated that the
County zoned Ms. Ellis's lot residential. Mr. Hams stated that Alternative Two recommends zoning
the site 100% Industrial. Chair Ron Harmon addressed Ms. Ellis's concerns that her property be
retained as single family residential. He stated that the Board would weigh all information presented
to them along with her testimony.
Board member Brad Bell asked Ms. Ellis if she understood that she could continue to live in her
residence as single family with an Industrial zoning designation. Ms. Ellis voiced concern that a
change to Industrial zoning could affect her tax rate, creating a financial hardship as she is on a fixed
income.
Kevin Phelps,Triple A Auto Wrecking, 26311 78'Avenue S. stated that he wanted clarification
that the annexation area does not include the 78'Avenue site. Mr. Harris concurred with Mr. Phelps
by stating that the annexation area is located on the East Side of the river and Triple A Auto
Wrecking is located on the west side of the river and will remain in the county.
Jon Johnson MOVED and Brad Bell SECONDED to close the public hearing. Motion carried.
Board member Terry Zimmerman asked Matt Jackson to explain what the potential tax impact would
be to Ms. Ellis's property if her parcel were to be rezoned from residential. Mr. Jackson stated that
all the lots are currently being used as single family residents and are zoned Industrial with Industrial
land use designation.
Mr. Jackson stated that it is staff's understanding that the County is assessing properties based on
what they are being used for and said that he believed Ms. Ellis's taxes would not increase based on
a change in zoning.
Mr. Jackson stated that if Ms. Ellis's property were to be zoned single family and the land use was
designated single family, this would require completion of a comp plan and zoning amendment.
Planning Director, Mr. Harris stated that property can only be assessed based on use and not on
speculative use of property. He stated that either a state law or Supreme Court case set the method
on how land value is assessed.
Board member Sharon Woodford stated that she would like to be assured that if Ms. Ellis's property
was rezoned to Industrial that it would not change her taxes. Mr. Harmon voiced his concern as well
Land Use and Planning Board Minutes
August 23, 1999
Page 4
and stated that even though the law stipulates that property value will be assessed based on value,
there is no assurance that legislature will not change the law in the future. He stated that he would
like to see Ms. Ellis's property remain zoned as single family.
Mr. Jackson stated that there are 41 residents residing in the annexation area living on single family
lots with Industrial zoning with the exception of the three parcels noted. Mr. Jackson stated that he
observed no other citizens at the hearing objecting to their tax rates.
Board member, Brad Bell asked Mr. Jackson if the Planning Department would have a problem with
comping this site at M-1 and leaving the zoning Residential. Mr. Jackson stated that State law
through the comp plan requires the City of Kent to be consistent between the land use plan and the
zoning. Mr. Harris stated that the City could be challenged if an applicant requested a land use
comprehensive plan designation, which differed from the zoning designation. Mr. Harris deferred
to Deputy City Attorney Tom Brubaker.
Deputy City Attorney Tom Brubaker said that he concurs with Mr. Harris and Mr. Jackson's
statement that the City must maintain consistency between the zoning map and the comprehensive
plan designations.
Board member Jon Johnson stated that land use has progressively changed in the Valley over the -
years. He stated that since the County has designated this area as industrial it should remain
industrial for consistency.
Terry Zimmerman stated that she supports Alternative 1 and does not favor Alternative 2 as she
believes that the Board can not assure her that Ms. Ellis's property taxes would remain the same if
the City changes the zoning on her property.
Sharon Woodford stated that although she sympathizes with Ms. Ellis, her neighbors are
predominately zoned Industrial. Ms. Woodford stated that based on the knowledge that property
taxes should not increase with a zoning change, she voted in favor of Alternative 2.
Ron Harmon voiced his opposition to Alternative 2 as he felt that he could not be reassured that Ms.
Ellis's taxes would remain the same if the annexation site was changed to M-1. Ron Harmon voted
in favor of Alternative 2.
Brad Bell MOVED and Jon Johnson SECONDED to accept staff's recommendation for Alternative
Two to zone the entire #AZ-99-1/CPA-99-1 Horseshoe Acres Annexation area to M-1 Industrial.
Motion carried three to two with Brad Bell, Jon Johnson and Sharon Woodford voting in favor of
the motion. Motion Carried.
Terry Zimmerman asked staff when the City Council meeting would be scheduled for the Horseshoe
Acres Annexation. Matthews Jackson stated that the City Council hearing would be scheduled for
September 21, 1999. Mr. Jackson stated that he would be glad to research the tax issue in
Land Use and Planning Board Minutes
August 23, 1999
Page 5
conjunction with the other lots that are already zoned single family. He stated that staff could not
guarantee that tax levels would remain the same but believes that land values have not decreased in
this area for many years. Mr. Jackson stated that if taxes were to increase, there would be factors
that determine that beyond the City's zoning. Mr. Jackson noted that any parties of interest would
be notified of the two upcoming Council hearings.
ADDED ITEM
#ZCA-99-2 Off-Premise Signs Zoning Code Amendment
Mr. Harris stated that at the request of Council President, Leona Orr, the #ZCA-99-2 Off-Premise
Sign Amendment should be revisited by the Land Use & Planning Board (LUPB) for further review
as a decision was not reached at the Public Works/Planning Committee. Mr. Harris stated that this
item has been heard at the April 12, 1999 LUPB public hearing meeting and then sent on to Council.
Mr. Harris stated that under the Council's new rules of operation, the Board's recommendation
moved directly to the Public Works/Planning Committee and not on to the Council as a Whole. Mr.
Harris said that he recalled the LUPB's consensus was that they stood by their original
recommendation of"no net gain".
Tom Brubaker stated that he attended the last Public Works/Planning Committee workshop where
discussion ensued on billboards. He said that a couple citizens from the Northpark area of Kent
expressed their desire to have billboards removed entirely from the City.
Tom Brubaker stated that Council member Rico Yingling expressed his discontent that the Public
Works/Planning Committee had previously voted for the business community to hold a meeting with
the citizens and the staff in attempts to work out an alternative solution.
Mr. Brubaker stated that the Public Works/Planning Committee Chair Tim Clark wishes to set the
date for another public hearing on#ZCA-99-2 Billboard Regulations/Off-Premise Signs amendment
Ordinance at their next meeting on Wednesday the 8" of September. Mr. Brubaker stated that at the
conclusion of that hearing, he could not predict the outcome. He stated that further action could
occur in the form of a changed recommendation, a changed ordinance or possible approval or denial
of the same ordinance.
Ms. Zimmerman inquired that as a point of procedure, would it be appropriate for the City Council
to consider this issue and than turn it back to the Public Works/Planning Committee. Mr. Brubaker
stated that a Council procedure has not been established with regard to this issue and that the Off-
Premise Sign Amendment occurred at a time when procedural changes took place and this item was
caught in the cross current.
Mr. Brubaker reiterated that that Planning staffs' understanding was that the off-premise sign
amendment ordinance would return to the Full City Council after reconsideration by the Land Use
and Planning Board as requested by City Council President Leona Orr.

Mr. Brubaker said that it is his understanding that this item will return to the Public Works/Planning
Committee and it has not been heard before the City Council.
Brad Bell stated that he was privileged to watch a televised Council meeting concerning #ZCA-99-2
Off Premise Sign issue. He stated that he felt Tom Brubaker did an excellent job of expressing the
LUPB's point of view as well as bringing a sense of reason to this issue. Mr. Bell said that Tim
Clark apologized to the LUPB members, as he is aware of the confusion that has been created over
this issue. He expressed his appreciation to Tom Brubaker for accurately conveying the opinion of
the LUPB over this matter.
Chair Ron Harmon stated that the purpose of the Board is to receive and process public testimony
than forward the Board's recommendations on to the City Council for their decision.
Mr. Harmon stated that the Land Use and Planning Board members volunteer their time to attend
workshops and receive public testimony at LUPB hearings each month. He stated that if the labors
of the Board are being directed to the Public Works/Planning Committee than let them hold the
public hearings. Mr. Harmon stated that it looks as if the PW/PC is moving in that direction.
Chair Harmon stated that on behalf of the Land Use and Planning Board he is requesting that the
Board receive a letter from the City Council providing them with directives on how the Board should
proceed with their recommendations as well as clarifying where the recommendations should move
forward to after being heard by the Land Use and Planning Board.
Planning Director, Jim Hams stated that the Council decided at retreat to have all Human Service
Commission and Land Use and Planning Board deliberations, public meetings or hearings proceed
to an appropriate committee. Mr. Hams stated that one glitch with the off-premise sign issue is that
it continues to be passed back and forth between the Land Use and Planning Board and the Public
Works/Planning Committee.
Mr. Harris stated that overall; the Planning department understands that public hearing items held
by the LUPB goes to the PW/PC and he concurs with the Board that they should receive a letter of
clarification from the Council.
Ron Harmon suggested allowing the City Attorney's office or the Planning Committee to generate
this letter on behalf of the Board under his signature. Mr. Harris asked Mr. Harmon if he understood
that as Chair of the Board that he is permitted to write a letter or memo addressed directly to City
Council President Leona Orr requesting that the Council respond to the LUPB.
Brad Bell shared that at the retreat, Tim Clark stated that as the Chair of the PW/PC he has the power _
to reopen public hearings. Brad Bell stated that current procedures dilute what the LUPB tries to
accomplish and this makes the Board feel less important. Brad Bell stated that as a citizen, if he
wanted to speak on a City issue, he would not want to attend ten different meetings on the same
issue. He stated that he sees this occurring with the billboard issue as citizens have been given
Land Use and Planning Board Minutes
August 23, 1999

numerous opportunities to share their input.
Brad Bell expressed his view that if the Public Works/Planning Committee wants to take over the
LUPB responsibilities that he has better ways in which he could use his time every other Monday
night.
Ron Harmon stated that the Land Use and Planning Board's public hearing is held in the evening
and is conducive to those who get off work at 5 or 6:00 p.m. to be able to attend a public hearing and
present testimony. He stated that as he recalls the Public Works/Planning Committee meeting is
held between 3 and 4:00 p.m. making it difficult for citizens to give their input if they are at work.
Mr. Harmon stated that the Board would like to inform Leona Orr of their concern and would
appreciate receiving a written response.
Brad Bell MOVED and Terry Zimmerman SECONDED to close the meeting. Motion Carried.

STREETS crosswalks, and urged the Council to postpone
closure of the street until the hazards have been
taken into consideration. Martin Plys, 3004 S .
256, noted that he had spent seven years in
Berlin, Germany, where people were not authorized
to walk or drive on streets, and said he is deeply
concerned that closing streets erodes freedom.
Hillary House, Director of Federal Way Family
Centers, 25834 26th Place South, Apt G104 , said
she would be willing to do an impact study as to
how this would affect the children of the families
who live in the apartment complexes, and provide

children and presented a petition, noting that not

crime area and that the children would be walking
in the dark. WOODS MOVED to make the petition a
part of the public record. Orr seconded and the
motion carried.

transportation officials in the Federal Way School
District on methods of maintaining pedestrian
safety. He noted for Yingling that street

TRANSPORTATION future financing, which no one in the real estate
world caught . He said property owners were not
aware this was coming and that the current Council
did not offer any form of mitigation.
Amodt noted that a task force was created several
months ago to review the mitigation processes , and
that residents of the 272nd/277th area were in-
cluded. She stated that they generated a packet
with many different options, and said she agreed
that the issue needs to be addressed, as it is not
fair. She said Smith' s input would be appreciated

Tonelli Rezone (RZ-99-3) . In 1983 , the Tonelli
rezone site was reclassified to MRG subject to
several conditions relating to density and design
of development . The present Tonelli rezone appli-
cation proposed to retain the same MRG zoning
classification but to remove the "contract rezone"
conditions . This would allow development to take
place according to existing ordinances and regula-
tions . A public hearing was held before the
Hearing Examiner on October 6, 1999 and the
Hearing Examiner recommended approval of the
proposed application on October 11, 1999 .
Kurt Hanson of the Planning Department showed the
location of the property and explained that the
contract conditions currently attached to the
parcels limited the development ' s density and
design to that proposed under a 1983 rezone, which
pre-dated the sensitive areas regulations . Upon
questions from Councilmembers , Hanson said that
the buffer is compatible with the Comprehensive
Plan and that there will be road improvements at
228th and Beth. Wickstrom explained that 88th

1999 Budget Adjustment and Code Amendment
Ordinances. The Operations Committee recommended
adoption of Ordinance No . 3479 providing for a
gross budget adjustment of $49 , 234 , 432 for budget
adjustments made from January 1 to August 31,
1999 , and adoption of Ordinance No . 3480 providing
for code amendments relating to budgets . The 1999
budget adjustments primarily involve previously
approved Council items for capital projects and to
establish budget for the 1999 Councilmanic Bond
issue .
Amodt expressed concern about the $80 , 000 that
will go to the Performing Arts Director and the
proposed Councilmember increase . She said if
I-695 passes, some services including the Shopper
Shuttle are in jeopardy. She said the $80 , 000
could be used to fund the Shopper Shuttle which
senior citizens rely on heavily. She also said
9

FINANCE the $126 , 000 proposed for Council increases could
be used to assist in paying for criminal justice
if I-695 passes . She suggested waiting to see
whether I-695 passes, and said this is the time to
conserve money.
McFall explained that funding for the Performing
Arts Center Director is an amendment to the 1999
budget, and has been previously approved by the
Council . He noted that with a change in state
minimum wage levels, Councilmember salaries do not
meet the minimum wage requirement . He added that
the salaries in most other cities are higher than
Kent, some significantly higher. He explained
that the salary would be adjusted over several
years as follows :
January 1 , 2000 - $850 per month
January 1, 2001 - $9004per month _
January 1, 2002 - $950 per month
January 1, 2003 - $1, 000 per month
McFall noted that current Councilmembers do not
receive this increase until they have stood for
election and begin a new term.
CLARK MOVED to approve Consent Calendar Item D.
Brotherton seconded. Mayor White stated that this
is one of the hardest working councils he has
worked with and that they are severely underpaid.
He emphasized that this council is not voting

This annual plan update was prepared using data available in the spring of 1999
for the 1998-99 school year.
This Plan is consistent with prior long-term capital facilities plans adopted by the
Kent School District. This Plan is not intended to be the sole planning document
for all of the District's needs. The District may prepare interim and periodic Long
Range Capital Facilities Plans consistent with Board Policies, taking into
account a longer or shorter time period, other factors and trends in the use of
facilities, and other needs of the District as may be required. Any such plan will
be consistent with this Six-Year Capital Facilities Plan.
The Kent School District Capital Facilities Plan has been adopted by
Metropolitan King County Council and Cities of Kent, Covington and Auburn and
included in the Capital Facilities Plan element of the Comprehensive Plans of
each jurisdiction. An impact fee implementing ordinance for the unincorporated
areas was effective September 15, 1993. This Plan update has also been
submitted to Cities of Kent, Covington, Auburn, Black Diamond, SeaTac, and
Renton.
A financing plan is included in Section V I I I which demonstrates the District's
ability to implement this Plan.
This Capital Facilities Plan establishes the District's "standard of service" in
order to ascertain the District's current and future capacity. While the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction establishes square footage guidelines for
capacity, those guidelines do not account for the local program needs in the
District. The Growth Management Act, King County and City codes and
ordinances authorize the District to make adjustments to the standard of service
based on specific needs of the District.
Beginning in 1998, the District's standard provides for class size reduction for
grades K - 3 from 26 to 22 students. The District's standard class size for grades
4 - 9 s,;ould not exceed 29 students, and class size for grades 10 - 12 should
not exceed 31 students. (See Section I I I for more specific information.)

[ Executive Summary (conunaeom
The capacities of the schools in the District are calculated based on this
standard of service and the existing inventory, which includes some relocatable
classrooms. The District's 1998-99 program capacity of permanent facilities is
24,093 which reflects program changes and the reduction of class size in grades
K - 3. Relocatables provide additional transitional capacity until permanent
facilities are completed.
Kent School District is the fourth largest district in the state. The actual number
of individual students per the October 1, 1998, head count was 26,074. Full
Time Equivalent (FTE) enrollment for this same period was 24,875.90
(Kindergarten at .5 and excluding Early Childhood Education (ECE] and Running Start students).
The District's standard of service, enrollment history and projections, and use.of
transitional facilities were among subjects studied by the Citizens' Concurrency
Task Force. The Final Report of the Concurrency Task Force was approved by
the Board of Directors on March 10, 1993. Findings and recommendations of
the Concurrency Task Force are discussed further in Section I I I of this Plan.
In subsequent years, the current plzi.n is to maintain surplus capacity consistent
with today's surplus. This surplus is achieved primarily through the transitional
use of relocatables as recommended by the Citizens' Concurrency Task Force.
The Concurrency Task Force reaffirms that, as has been the practice and
philosophy of the Kent School District, and also based on the most recent
recommendation of the Citizens' Facilities Planning Committee, portables are
NOT acceptable as permanent facilities. Portables, or, using the more accurate
but interchangeable term, "relocatables" may be used as interim or transitional
facilities:
1. To prevent overbuilding or overcrowding of permanent school facilities.
2. To Cover the gap between the time of demand for increased capacity
and completion of permanent school facilities to meet that demand.
3. To meet unique program requirements.
Use of relocatable and transitional capacity and specific recommendations by
the Concurrency Task Force are further discussed in Section V I of this Plan.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Growth Management Act, this Plan will be
updated annually, with changes in the fee schedule(s) adjusted accordingly.
Kent School District Six-Year Capital Facilities plan April, 1999 Page 3
1 [ Six - Year Enrollment Projection
For capital facilities planning, growth projections are based on student yield from
documented residential construction projected over the next six years. (sae rabis 2;
The student generation factor, as defined on the next page, is the basis for the
growth projections from new developments.
King County live births and the District's relational percentage average were
used to determine the number of kindergartners entering the system. (see Table i)
Based on the 1998 percentage, 8.28% of King County live births, together with
proportional growth from new construction, is equivalent to the number of
students projected to enter kindergarten in the district for the next six-year
period. (See Table 2)
Early Childhood Education students (formerly identified as "Preschool Special
Education [SE] or handicapped") are calculated and reported separately on a .5
FTE basis.
The first grade population is traditionally 7 - 8% larger than the kindergarten
population due to growth and transfers to the District from private kindergartens.
Near term projections assume some growth from new developments to be offset
by current local economic conditions. With a few notable exceptions, the
expectation is that enrollment increases will occur District-wide in the long term.
District projections are based on historical growth patterns combined with
continuing development of projects in the pipeline dependent on market and
growth conditions.
The District will continue to track new development activity to determine impact
to schools and monitor conditions to reflect adjustments in this assumption. The
six-year enrollment projection anticipates significant enrollment growth from new
development currently in some phase of planning or construction in the district.
Information on new residential developments and the completion of these
proposed developments in all jurisdictions may be considered in the District's
future analysis of growth projections.
Within practical limits, the District has kept abreast of proposed developments.
The Kent School District serves six permitting jurisdictions: unincorporated King
County, the cities of Covington, Kent and Auburn. The Lake Sawyer area has
recently been annexed to the City of Black Diamond and the western portion of
the district includes a small portion of the City of SeaTac.

STUDENT GENERATION FACTOR
"Student Factor" is defined by code as "the number derived by a school district
to describe how many students of each grade span are expected to be
generated by a dwelling unit" based an district records of average actual student
generated rates for developments completed within the last five years.
Following these guidelines, the student generation factor for Kent School District
is as follows:
Single Family Elementary .515
Junior High .197
Senior High .180
Total .892
Multi-Family Elementary .279 ~.
Junior High .086
Senior High .063
Total .428
The student generation factor is based on a survey of 3,149 single family
dwelling units and 2,998 multi-family dwelling units. There was no adjustment for
occupancy and studio apartments were excluded. Please refer to Appendix E on
Page 33 for details of the Student Generation Factor survey.
The actual number of students in those residential developments was
determined using the District's Education Logistics (EDULOG) Transportation
System. In 3,149 single family dwelling units there were 1,622 elementary
students, 621 junior high students, and 566 senior high students for a total of
2,809 students. In 2,998 multi-family dwelling units, there were 836 elementary
students, 257 junior high students, and 189 senior high students, for a total of
1,282 students.

Current Kent School District "Standard of Service"
In order to determine the capacity of the District's facilities, the King County
Code refers to a "standard of service" that each school district must establish in
order to ascertain its overall capacity. The standard of service identifies the
program year, the class size, the number of classrooms, students and programs
of special need, and other factors determined by the District which would, in the
District's judgment, best serve its student population.
This Plan includes the standard of service as established by Kent School
District. Relocatables included in the capacity calculation use the same standard
of service as the permanent facilities. (See AppendixA, B a C)
The standard of service defined herein may continue to change in the future.
Beginning in 1998, the District's standard class size for grades K - 3 was
reduced from 26 to 22. Kent School District is continuing a long-term strategic
planning process which may affect aspects of the District's "standard of service".
Future changes to the standard of service will be reflected in future capital
facilities plans.
Current Standards of Service for Elementary Students
Class size for grades K - 3 should not exceed 22 students.
Class size for grades 4 - 6 should not exceed 29 students.
Program capacity for regular education classrooms is calculated at an average
of 25 students per classroom because there are four grade levels at K - 3 and
fluctuations between primary and intermediate grade levels (i.e. Third / Fourth
grade split classes, etc.).
Students may be provided music instruction and physical education in a
separate classroom or facility.
Students may have scheduled time in a special computer lab.
Special Education for students with disabilities may be provided in a self-
contained classroom with a capacity of 10-15 depending on the program.

if I Current Kent School District "Standard of Service" (continued)
Identified students will also be provided other educational opportunities in
classrooms for programs designated as follows:
English As a Second Language (ESL)
Self-contained Special Education Programs
Integrated Programs & Resource Rooms (for special remedial assistance)
Education for Disadvantaged Students (Title I)
Gifted Education
Other Remediation Programs
Learning Assisted Program (LAP)
School Adjustment Programs for severely behavior-disordered students
Hearing Impaired
Mild, Moderate and Severe Developmental Disabilities
Developmental Kindergarten
Early Childhood Education (3-4 yr, old preschool handicapped students)
Some of the above special programs require specialized classroom space, as
well as music and physical education classrooms, computer labs, etc.; thus, the
permanent capacity of some of the buildings housing these programs is reduced.
Some students, for example, leave their regular classroom for a short period of
time to receive instruction in these special programs and space must be
allocated to serve these programs. Some newer buildings have been
constructed to accommodate most of these programs; some older buildings have
been modified, and in some circumstances, these modifications reduce the
classroom capacity of the buildings. When programs change, program capacity
fluctuates and is updated annually to reflect the change in program and capacity.
Current Standards of Service for Secondary Students
The standards of service outlined below reflect only those programs and
educational opportunities provided to secondary students which directly affect
the capacity of the school buildings.
Class size for grades 7 - 9 should not exceed 29 students.
Class size for grades 10 - 12 should not exceed 31 students.
Special Education for students with disabilities may be provided in a self-
contained classroom with a capacity of 10-15 depending on the program.

Many of these programs and others require specialized classroom space which
can reduce the permanent capacity of the -school buildings- In addition, an
alternative home school, choice and transition program is provided for students
in grades 2-12 at Kent Learning Center.
Space or Classroom Utilization
As a result of scheduling conflicts for student programs, the need for specialized
rooms for certain programs, and the need for teachers to have a work space
during their planning periods, it is not possible to achieve 100% utilization of
regular teaching stations. Based on the analysis of actual utilization of
classrooms, the District has concluded that the standard utilization rate is 95%
for elementary schools and 85% for secondary schools. In future, the District
will continue close analysis of actual utilization.
Kent School District Citizens' Concurrencv Task Force
The Kent School District Board of Directors appointed a Citizens' Concurrency
Task Force, made up of a cross section of the community, to assist in defining
the District's Standard of Service. To accomplish this task, the Task Force was
directed to study Kent School District enrollment history and projections,
demographics and planned new developments, land availability for new schools,
facility capacities and plans, frequency of boundary changes, and portable
_ (relocatable) vs. permanent facility issues. A meeting for public input was
conducted and the Final Report of the Citizens' Concurrency Task Force was
approved by the Board of Directors on March 10, 1993.

V The District's Six-Year Planning and Construction Plan —
At the time of preparation of this Plan in spring of 1998, the following projects are
currently underway in the District:
• Elementary #27a is located at 24700 - 54`" Avenue S. near downtown Kent. The school
opened in January 1999 and current students, staff and programs moved to the new
location at that time. The new school retains the name Kent Elementary and boundary
changes and new programs will be implemented in the Fall of 1999.
• Emerald Park Elementary#29 is under construction at the northeast comer of SE 216th
Street and 117th Avenue SE. The school is scheduled to open in the fall of 1999.
• Elementary#30 is in the early planning and construction stages and is scheduled to open
in the fall of 2000. It is in the city of Kent at 11go'Avenue SE and SE 270' Street.
• Junior High #8 is under review to fill future needs for grades 7 through 9. The Board
authorized purchase of a site for this school at SE 286" Street on the east side of 1240
Avenue SE. Exact timing,of the opening of the school is currently under review and
dependent on enrollment needs. Other future facilities are listed in Table 4 and shown an
the site map on page 17.
• Northwood Junior High (#7) opened in the fall of 1996. Kentlake Senior High opened in
the fall of 1997. Each of these schools, combined with portables, continue to provide
capacity for increases to enrollment from new development.
Each of the elementary schools has capacity planned for approximately 540 students
each, depending on placement of special programs. Junior high schools are planned
for a program rapacity of approximately 1,065 students and Kentlake Senior High (#4)
has a current program capacity of 1,648.
County and city planners, decision makers and school districts are encouraged to
consider safe walking conditions for all students when reviewing applications and
design plans for new developments. This should include sidewalks, pull-outs and turn
arounds for school buses.
Included in this Plan is an inventory of projects by type, size, location or region, and
estimated completion date. Also included in the inventory are sites identified by the
District, which are potentially acceptable site alternatives in the future. fsa• rabr.of
The voter approved 1990 Bond Issue for $105.4 million included funding for the
purchase of eleven sites for some of these and future schools, and the sites acquired
to date are included in this Plan. Funding is secured for purchase of additional sites.
Not all undeveloped properties meet school construction requirements and some
property may be traded or sold to meet future facility needs.
Based on voter approval of 5130 million in construction funding in February 1994.
elementary schools # 29 and # 30 are the last two to be constructed which have
received voter approval. The Citizens' Facilities Planning Committee is in the process of
reviewing future needs and is expected to make a recommendation to the Board for a
future bond election for capital projects.

V I Relocatable Classrooms
t
I ' Currently, the District utilizes 149 total relocatables. Of this total, 69 are utilized
1 .
to house students in excess of permanent capacity, 75 are used for program
purposes at school locations, and five for other purposes.(See appendices a B c D)
Based on enrollment projections and funded permanent facilities, the District
anticipates the need to purchase some relocatables during the next six-year
period.
In the Final Report approved by the Board of Directors on March 10, 1993, the
Kent School District Citizens' Concurrency Task Force reaffirmed that, as has
been the practice and philosophy of the Kent School District, based an the most
recent recommendation of the Citizens' Facilities Planning Committee, portables
(or "relocatables") are NOT acceptable as permanent facilities.
I In addition to the Findings and Recommendations regarding portables listed in
! Section I I I. "Standard of Service," the Task Force also listed some specific
G concerns in regard to use of portables as interim or transitional capacity:
i
I. The quality of facilities, when using relocatable facilities, is a major
concern of citizens of the Kent School District. That the Kent School
j District should consider the following factors and priorities when
using, purchasing and modernizing portables:
A. HIGHEST CONCERNS
1 . Adequate heat
2. Portable covered walkways, where practical
3. Adequate ventilation
4. Fire Safety
B. MODERATE CONCERNS
1 . Adequate air conditioning
2. Security
3. Intercoms / Communication
4. Restroom facilities
5. Storage facilities
6. Crowding / class size
7. Noise
8. Availability of equipment (i.e. projectors, etc.)
9. lack of water (use bottled water/portable tanks for drain)
(Continued)

V I Relocatable Classrooms ¢ (cunnnoea)
I
For the purpose of clarification, the term "portables" and the more descriptively
accurate term, "relocatables" are used interchangeably in this Plan as well as in
((' the Concurrency Task Force Report. The reports also reference use of
t portables or relocatables as interim or transitional capacity/facilities.
i During the time period covered by this Plan, the District does not anticipate that
all of the District's relocatables will be replaced by permanent facilities. During
the useful life of some of the relocatables, the school-age population may
decline in some communities and increase in others, and these relocatables
provide the flexibility to accommodate the immediate needs of the community.
Although the Citizens' Concurrency Task Force has reaffirmed that portables are
not acceptable as PERMANENT facilities, they did recommend that portables, or
relocatables, may be used as interim or transitional facilities:
i
1. To prevent overbuilding or overcrowding of permanent school
i facilities. 4
I 2. To cover the gap between the time of demand for increased
I capacity and completion of permanent school facilities to meet
'. that demand.
I
3. To meet unique program requirements.
Portables, or relocatables, currently in use will be evaluated resulting in some
being improved and some replaced. Quality concerns will be among those
addressed by the next Citizens' Facilities Planning Committee in review of
capital facilities needs for the next bond issue.
The Plan projects that the District will use relocatables to accommodate interim
housing needs for the next six years and beyond. The use of relocatables, their
impacts on permanent facilities, life cycle and operational costs, and the
interrelationship between relocatables, emerging technologies and educational
restructuring will continue to be be examined.

V I I Projected Six-Year Classroom Capacities
I
As stated in Section I V, the program capacity study was updated for changes in
j special programs as well class size reduction in Grades K - 3. As shown in the
II Inventory and Capacity chart in Table 3 on Page 13, the program capacity is
i also reflected in the capacity and enrollment comparison charts. (see Te0Ns535A-&C
on pages 21-24)
The first school day of October is set by OSPI as the enrollment count date for
the year. Full Time Equivalent (FTE) student enrollment for October 1, 1998
was 24,875.90 with kindergarten students counted at .5 and excluding Early
Childhood Education students (ECE - preschool special education) and
College-only Running Start FTE's. (see rabies 5s 5A-8•C on pages 21-24)
A headcount of all students enrolled on October 1, 1998 totals 26,074 which
continues to rank Kent School District as the fourth largest district in the state of
Washington.
Based on the enrollment forecasts, current inventory and capacity, current
standard of service, relocatable capacity, and future planned classroom space,
the District anticipates having sufficient capacity to house students over the next
six years. (See Table 5 and Tables 5 A-S-C on Pages 21 - 24)
This does not mean that some schools will not experience overcrowding. There
will be significant need for new schools to accommodate growth within the
District. Some schools, by design, may be opened with relocatables on site.
Boundary changes, movement of relocatables, zoning changes, market
conditions, and educational restructuring will all play a major role in addressing
overcrowding and underutilization of facilities in different parts of the District.

V I I I Finance Plan
i The finance plan shown on Table 6 demonstrates how the Kent School District
plans to finance improvements for the years 1999 - 2000 through 2004 - 2005.
The financing components include secured and unsecured funding. The plan is
based on voter approval of future bond issues, collection of impact fees under
the State Growth Management Act and voluntary mitigation fees paid pursuant to
State Environmental Policy Act.
Kent Elementary # 27a, replacement for the existing Kent Elementary School, is
the last school for which the District expects to receive state matching funds
under the current state funding formula.
For the Six-Year Finance Plan, costs of future schools are based on estimates
from Kent School District Facilities Department.

Appendix F - Summary of Changes to April 1998 Capital Facilities Plan
The Capital Facilities Plan (the "Plan") is updated annually based on previous Plans in
effect since 1993. The primary changes from the April 1998 Plan are summarized here.
Kent Elementary #27a has completed construction and Emerald Park Elementary #29
is under construction with opening scheduled for January and September, 1999
respectively. Elementary 30 will start construction soon. Citizens' Facilities Planning
Committee is reviewing future facility needs and is expected to make a
recommendation to the Board in Fall of 1999.
Changes to capacity reflect some reduction in Gass size for grades K - 3 as well as
annual program changes. Changes in portables or transitional capacity reflect
purchase, sale, surplus and/or movement of portables between facilities
Permanent facility costs and site cost per acre have been adjusted to reflect averages
of costs for schools built most recently. The district expects to receive no state
matching funds for schools in this Plan and tax credit factors are updated annually.
Student enrollment forecast is updated annually.
The student generation factor survey was updated to reflect developments added or
deleted and changes in student yield. Changes reflect no adjustment for occupancy
and exclusion of studio apartments per agreement with members of the development
community. Survey data is included as Appendix E.
Changes to Impact Fee Calculation Factors include:

FEDERAL.WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1998l99 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
INTRODUCTION
In response to the requirements of the State of Washington Growth Management Act
(SHB 2929 (1990) and ESHB 1025 (1991), and under the School Impact Fee Ordinances
of King County Code 21A, City of Federal Way Ordinance No. 95-249 effective
December 21, 1995 as amended, and the City of Kent Ordinance No. 3260 effective
March 1996, Federal Way Public Schools has updated its 1997/98 Capital Facilities Plan
as of April 1999
This Plan has been adopted by King County, the City of Kent and the City of Federal
Way and is incorporated in the Comprehensive Plans of each jurisdiction by reference.
This plan is also included in the Facilities Plan element of the Comprehensive PIans of
each jurisdiction. To date, the City of Auburn and City of Des Moines have not adopted
a school impact fee ordinance.
The Growth Management Act requires the County to designate Urban Growth areas
within which urban growth can be encouraged. The Growth Management Planning
Council adopted and recommended to the King County Council four Urban Growth Area
Line Maps with designations for urban centers. A designation was made within the
Federal Way planning area, which encompasses Federal Way Public Schools boundaries.
King County will encourage and actively support the development of Urban Centers to
meet the region's need for housing, jobs, services, culture and recreation. This Plan's
estimated population growth is prepared with this underlying assumption.
This Capital Facilities Plan will be used as documentation for any jurisdiction, which
requires its use to meet the needs of the Growth Management Act. This plan is not
intended to be the sole planning tool for all of the District needs. The District may
prepare interim plans consistent with Board policies. Additional plans will be consistent
with the six year Capital Facilities Plan. At this time, Federal Way Public Schools is
evaluating the need for and possible timing of future bonds.

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1998/99 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
INTRODUCTION (continued)
In October of 1997 the District convened a Study and Survey Committee. The Committee
was made up of patrons, parents, professional consultants, school staff and central
administration staff. The charge of the Committee was divided into four focus areas on a
continuum, which lead to recommendations to the Board of Education. The four focus
committees were:
1. Educational Plan Committee
2. Special Education Committee
3. Classroom Standards and Facility Use Committee
4. Future Alternative Committee
Two recommendations were sent forward to the Board of Education from this committee.
The first recommendation was to move to a Pre K-5 elementary, 6-8 middle school, and 9-12
high school grade configuration beginning in the fall of 2002 or as additional high school
space allows. The Board of Education approved this recommendation at the October 12,
1998 regular Board Meeting. This grade configuration is believed to be more responsive to
student needs. It will allow for smaller elementary enrollments with room for lower primary
class sizes. The middle school allows two-year preparation for the WA State 7r° grade test,
matches the Federal Way Public Schools 8' grade gateway test, and matches most western
Washington districts. Middle schools are also thought to be a better way to address the
needs of adolescence in a period of transition from elementary to school to high school. The
four-year high school plan combines the 9-12 graduation credit system, allows two-year
preparation from the 10' grade test, and physically places the high school students together.
The second recommendation brought forward from the committee to the Board of Education
was a bond proposal. Federal Way Public Schools must meet the needs of a growing student
and community population. The District must be flexible with building, programs and
staffing to meet the needs of the 2 1" Century, while being financially responsible and
sensitive to the current tax rates. A flexible, cost effective and educationally beneficial
approach that integrates academics and high tech/high skill preparation is needed. By
extending the existing debt and creatively using new and existing facilities, the District can
meet these complex needs with no increase in local tax rates.
The bond proposal of$83 million was arrived at after receiving input from parents, staff and
the community. Member of the Citizens for Federal Way Schools and senionstaff members
met with school staff and PTSA groups. This process concluded with two daylong meetings
among a group of faculty members. Based upon information the District received, it became
apparent that people wanted a comprehensive high school ($44 million); a middle school
(S17 million); expansion and improvement of existing schools ($9 million); replace of
Truman High School
iv
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1998/99 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
($6 million) and other general improvements (S7 million). Additional planned improvements
included in the bond proposal are: parking and pedestrian safety, playgrounds and sports
fields, new classroom start-up and music equipment, information systems and networks and
emergency communications.
The Board of Education unanimously approved this bond recommendation at the February 8,
1999 regular Board Meeting. This proposal will be submitted for voter approval on May
18, 1999.
Federal Way Public Schools opened the Internet Academy in the 1996/97 school year. This
program currently serves approximately 615 students, 375 are full time students. Internet
Academy has grown from about 60 students to the current 615 in less than two years. The
forecast for growth in this program is to serve approximately 1400 full time students by the
year 2004.
Internet Academy is currently operating out of leased space consisting of administrative areas
- and a computer lab area. Additionally, some lab sections are scheduled in the current high
school facilities during non-school hours. There is an anticipated need of approximately
2000 square feet of additional space over the next two years. This capacity is not included in
the analysis of instructional spaces. The facility needs are unique to a program of"distance
learners".
The Marketing Academy is also operating out of leased space. This program serves
approximately 60 students. Capacity needs for Marketing Academy have not been addressed
in the analysis of instructional space.
Federal Way Public Academy will open in the 1999/00 school year in six portables on the
Illahee Junior High site. This school will serve 120 seventh and eight grade students.

SECTION I -THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
The State Growth Management Act requires that several pieces of information be gathered to
determine the facilities available and needed to meet the needs of a growing community.
1. This section provides information about current facilities, existing facility needs, and
expected future facility requirements for Federal Way Public Schools. This is followed by
a Financial Plan which shows expected funding for any new construction, portables and

MAPS OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1998/99 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
SECTION II- MAPS OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
Federal Way Public Schools (the District) has twenty-three elementary schools (grades K-6), six
junior high schools (grades 7-9), three senior high schools (grades 10-12) and two alternative
schools (grades 7-12) for the 1998/99 school year. On April 20, 1996 the Federal Way Public
Schools Board of Education adopted the boundaries for these schools. The following maps show
the service area boundaries for each school for each grade level (the alternative schools, Harry S.
Truman High School and Merit School, serve students from throughout the District). The
identified boundaries are reviewed annually, Any change in grade configuration or adoption of
programs which affect school populations may necessitate a change in school service areas.
The Growth Management Act requires that a jurisdiction evaluate if the public facility
infrastructure is in place to handle new housing developments. In the case of most public
facilities, new development has its major impact on the facilities immediately adjacent to that
development. School Districts are different. If the District does not have permanent facilities
available, interim measures must be taken until new facilities can be built or until boundaries can
^ be adjusted to match the population changes to the surrounding facilities.
Adjusting boundaries requires careful consideration by the District and is not taken lightly. It is
recognized that there is a potential impact on students who are required to change schools.
Boundary adjustments impact the whole district, not just one school.
It is important to realize that a single housing development does not require the construction of a
complete school facility. School districts are required to project growth throughout the district
and build or adjust boundaries based on growth throughout the district, not just around a single
development.

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1998199 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
Building Capacities
This Capital Facilities Plan establishes the District's "standard of service" in order to
ascertain the District's current and future capacity. The Superintendent of Public Instruction
establishes square footage guidelines for capacity, but these guidelines do not take into
consideration the education program needs. The District has identified a Building Program
Capacity for each of the schools in the District. This Full Time Equivalent (FT'E) capacity is
based on:
• The number of classrooms available in each school
• Any special requirements at each school
• The contracted class load by grade level
- In general, the District's current standard provides that the average class size for a standard
classroom for grade K is 24 students , for grade 1-6 is 26 students and grades 7-12 is 25
students. Gate (Gifted and Talented Education) classrooms are 25 students, individual
education programs classrooms are 15 students, and special education classrooms are 12
students. This size is determined based upon current ratios and trends as well as the
classroom physical size. Educational Program Capacities change every year. This analysis is
for the 1998/99 school year. The capacity of an individual school could and does change at
any time depending on program changes which may require additional space.

Notes:
Elementary program capacities are based on the number of teaching stations
in the building, contracted class size, and special use classrooms in place
during the 98/99 school year. All available instructional space is calculated.
Secondary program capacities are based on peak loading.
The calculation is based on 25 students per available
teaching stations.
Capacities were calculated by the Study and Survev Committee.

FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1998199 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN
Portable Locations
The Washington State Constitution requires the State to provide each student a basic
education. It is not efficient use of District resources to build a school with a capacity for
500 students due to lack of space for 25 students when enrollment fluctuates throughout the
year and from year to year.
Portables are used as temporary facilities or interim measures to house students until
permanent facilities can be built or boundary adjustments can be made. When permanent
facilities become available, the portable(s) is either moved to another school for an interim
classroom, or used for other purposes such as storage or child care programs. Some portables
may not be fit to move due to age or physical condition. In these cases, the District may
choose to buy new portables and surplus these unfit portables. It is the practice and
philosophy of Federal Way Public Schools that portables are not acceptable as permanent
- facilities.
The following page provides a list of the location of the portable facilities, used for
temporary educational facilities by Federal Way Public Schools.

parameter method. This is the method suggested when a district is increasing or decreasing at a rate
that is different than the standard grade progression model. Standard grade progression is a
reasonably accurate method for the near term future when the near future looks much like the near
past. Using six years of enrollment history in the Federal Way District encompasses high growth
years and zero growth years which fall outside the range of the standard progression model. This
phenomenon is partially explained by the incorporation of the City of Federal Way and its affect on
new housing starts in recent history.
Long range projections that establish the need for facilities are a modification of the cohort survival
method. The cohort method of analysis becomes less reliable the farther out the projections are
made. The Federal Way School District long-range projections are studied annually. The study
includes information from the jurisdictional demographers as they project future housing and
population in the region.The long-range projections used by Federal Way Public Schools reflect a
similar age trend in student populations as the projections published by the Office of Financial
management for the State of Washington.
Growth Management requires jurisdictions to plan for a minimum of twenty years. The Federal Way
School District is a partner in this planning with the various jurisdictions comprising the school
district geography. These projections create a vision of the school district in the future.

Capacity Summaries
All Grades, Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High Schools
The Capacity Summaries combine Building Capacity information and the Student Forecast
information. The result demonstrates the requirements for new or remodeled facilities and
why there is a need for the district to use temporary facilities or interim measures.
The information is organized in spreadsheet format, with a page summarizing the entire
District, and then evaluating capacity vs. number of students at elementary, junior high, and
senior high levels individually.
The notes at the bottom of each spreadsheet provide information about what facilities are in

Kino County, the Citv of Federal Way, and the City of Kent Impact Fee Calculations
Single and Multi-Family Residences
Each jurisdiction that imposes school impact fees requires that developers pay these fees to
help cover a share of the impact of new housing developments on school facilities.
To determine an equitable fee throughout unincorporated King County, a formula was
established. This formula can be found in King County Code 21A and was also substanially
adopted by the City of Federal Way and Kent. The formula requires the District to establish
a "Student Generation Factor" which estimates how many students will be added to a school
district by each new single or multi-family unit and to gather some standard construction
costs, which are unique to that district.
STUDENT GENERATION FACTOR ANALYSIS
Federal Way Public Schools student generation factor was determined separately for single
family units and multi-family units. The factors used in the 1998/99 Capital Facilities Plan
were derived using actual generation factors from single family units and multi-family units,
which were constructed in the last five- (5) years.
- IMPACT FEE CALCULATION
Following the calculations for the student generation factor is a copy of the Impact Fee
Calculation for single family and multi-family units based on King County Code 21A and the
Growth Management Act.
Single Family Units 52,383.
Multi-Family Units 5786.

Date: October 12, 1999
To: Operations Committee
Cc: Brent McFall, Director of Operations
M. Mulholland, IS Director
Prepared by: Dea Drake, Multimedia Manager
Subject: Community Access Studio
The City of Kent's Franchise Agreement requires ATT (formerly TCI) to provide and operate a
Public Access Studio within eight miles of City Hall by July 1, 1999. City staff and
Councilmember Clark have been working with ATT and other local cities on a regional
"Community Access Studio" concept with the goal of providing a studio that encourages use by
the community for neighborhood events as opposed to the traditional "public" access concept,
that often seems to serve only those who work on society's fringe. At this time the cities
participating include Kent, Renton, Auburn, Burien and Seatac.
Council previously granted extensions until November 1, 1999, in order for City staff to
continue efforts to form a partnership with an educational institution to benefit from the joint
operation of the facility. The intention of this partnership would be to broaden the scope of the
facility into more of a shared multipurpose Community Access Facility, with public, community
and educational access components, rather than strictly a Public Access Studio. At that time
we had definite interest expressed by Highline Community College. Since then, Renton
Vocational Technical College has also entered the discussions and now seems to be the most
viable partner.
Meetings with Highline representatives took place in mid-August. Meetings with Renton
Vocational Technical took place in late September and Early October. It appears that we may
possibly achieve this goal. There is still much to be accomplished, however.. We need to form
an interlocal operating agreement with the other jurisdictions, determine and finalize the extent
of ATT's total obligations to the participating cities, determine and form a multi-jurisdictional
Co mmAcce s s.101 199.d oc
oversight board or nonprofit agency, negotiate with our College partner for their participation
and contribution, as well as determine the site and scope of the studio facility. By pursuing all
this, we hope to be able to offer a much greater asset to the Kent Community as well as the
regional community.
We believe this can be accomplished, however we believe that working out all the details to
actually put together this facility is a major task. Once an educational partner has been
chosen, the administrative arrangement among the respective cities, the educational institution
and ATT must be ironed out in detail. Then the operations site must be remodeled, and all
equipment installed. Finally, staff must be selected and trained before the new community
access and educational channels "go "live." Moreover, if the cities all agree to work with
Renton Vo-Tech, the space they want to offer (the former Sortini elementary school in
downtown Renton—which presents excellent possibilities) may not be available for
reconstruction until September, 2000. We believe this will be an opportunity worth the wait.
Accordingly, we respectfully request extending ATT's public access studio franchise _
obligations until January 1, 2001 on the condition that, in good faith, ATT work with the
participating cities and the selected educational institution to create a combined community
access and educational studio facility to be fully operational no later than January 1 , 2000.
MOTION:
I move to authorize the Mayor to enter into an agreement that would allow an extension of time
on ATT's Public Access Facility obligation under Section 5 of City Ordinance 3108 to January
1 , 2001, subject to additional terms and conditions established by the City Attorney to
guarantee ATT's performance in line with the City's expectations.

Director of Franchising
AT&T Broadband & Internet Services
22025 30`h Avenue S.E.
Bothell, WA 98021-4444
Dear Janet:
r The City of Kent's Franchise Agreement for fulfillment of the Public Access Studio
portion of our Public Access Facility obligation under Section 5 of City Ordinance 3108
was due July 1, 1999. Through council action we extended that date to September, then
November 1, 1999.
We believe that in order to accomplish the goals we have been discussing, which are of
mutual interest and benefit to your company, our citizens, and the South King County
region; we should look at a realistic timeline. These goals include attempting to form
partnerships with educational agencies for shared facilities and other benefits, attempting
to form an oversight board or nonprofit agency to operate the facility, thereby relieving
AT&T of that obligation, and expanding the future possibilities for such a facility by
these actions.
Toward that end, we are again going to our council to request an extension to January 1,
2001, subject to additional terms and conditions established by the City Attorney to
guarantee AT&T's performance in line with the City's expectations.
Attached is our proposed extension agreement with AT&T Broadband Services.

provided the City its written acceptance of the franchise terms; and
WHEREAS, AT&T Broadband and Internet Services (formerly TCI) was
obligated to perform certain obligations under the franchise or be subject to penalties
under Section 12 of the franchise; and
WHEREAS, because of changing technology and TCI's desire to provide a

Services (formerly TCI) had been unable to complete the following franchise obligation
under franchise:
Under Section 5, provide, maintain and operate a public
access studio within eight miles of Kent City Hall; and
WHEREAS, AT&T Broadband and Intemet Services (formerly TCI) was granted
an extension until July 1, 1999 through the August 3, 1997 agreement; and
WHEREAS, AT&T Broadband and Intemet Services (formerly TCI) was granted
additional extensions through Council action to September 1999, and November 1, 1999;
and
WHEREAS, in order to pursue mutually beneficial goals of creating a

which may be operated by a nonprofit group or other board not directly affiliated with
AT&T Broadband and Intemet Services; and
WHEREAS, the City has agreed to extend the time for performance of these
conditions under the franchise on the condition that AT&T work in a mutually
cooperative relationship and in a timely manner toward completion of the goals
determined by the City of Kent and other cooperative agencies and partners; by providing

original obligations under the Franchise Ordinance and with the obligations in this
Agreement, except as modified by this agreement. AT&T will comply with all terms of
this agreement no later than January 1, 2001.
3. FAILURE TO COMPLY: If AT&T fails to comply with its obligations
under this Agreement by January 2, 2001, then AT&T shall be in breach of this
Agreement and of the franchise provisions described above. Without waiving its right to
make any claims it may have for other areas of default under the franchise, the City shall
have the right to reinstitute all penalties available to the City under the franchise
backdated to June 29, 1997. AT&T acknowledge that these penalties amount to no less
than S200 per day for each day of each violation until the date AT&T reaches compliance
on each violation.
4. NOT EXTERNAL COST: AT&T acknowledges that its original
obligations under the franchise and this Agreement constitute expected costs, or impacts
from expected costs, incurred at the time TCI entered into its franchise with the City.

with complying with this Agreement to City customers as an external cost under 46 CFR
76.922.

Proiect Title: Artwork for the New Train Station
Proiect Description: The Kent Arts Commission will partner with SoundTransit on
the art program for the new train station and adjoining parking garage. The
artwork will vary throughout the large site and will include integrated works.
Estimated 2000 Costs: $45,000
Funding Source: City Art Plan
Background: SoundTransit has a 1% for art program. The SoundTransit budget
is for 1% of capital only and will not include the parking garage that is being
funded by the City. The KAC recognizes that this is a major project for the
community and wants art to be incorporated into the whole site, including the
parking garage. By contributing funds to the SoundTransit art budget, the KAC
has already assisted in the artist selection and worked with the artist during
design development. The KAC will review the station artwork before
presentation to SoundTransit, the Kent Technical Advisory Committee and
ultimately the Kent City Council. The integration of the artwork into the design
and construction of projects has traditionally helped with maintenance, curbing
vandalism and allowing budget dollars to be spent efficiently.
Proiect Title: Clark Lake Park Artwork
Proiect Description: A professional artist would be hired to work with Parks
Planning and Development staff to conceptualize, design, create and
install/integrate an original artwork(s) in the development of Clark Lake Park. To
facilitate the integration of the artwork, the artist will be hired through direct
selection, thus allowing more time for the artist to work on the project.
Estimated 2000 Costs: $30,000
Funding Source: City Art Plan
Background: The Arts Commission seeks to preserve and enhance the natural
environment of Clark Lake Park through artwork. The City's park system has
been an ideal setting for placement of permanent public art. The highly used
parks allow citizens to enjoy the artworks in a truly public area. The integration of
the artwork into the design and construction of projects and parks has
traditionally helped with maintenance, curbing vandalism and allowing budget
dollars to be spent more efficiently.
KENT ARTS COMMISSION
2000 CITY ART PLAN
Proiect Title: Millennium/Kent Commons Entrance Artwork Planning
Proiect Description: A professional artist would be hired to create an artwork that
is conceptually tied to the millennium and the Kent Community. The artwork
would replace the existing artwork at the entrance of the Kent Commons.
Estimated 2000 Costs: $7,500
Funding Source: City Art Plan
Background: The Arts Commission recommends that a new public artwork be
commissioned for the entrance of the Kent Commons. The new work will be
intended to better utilize the entrance area space and provide a more functional
and aesthetically pleasing environment to welcome visitors to the facility. The
Commons is a focal point of the Kent community for a diverse array of people _
and the millennium offers an ideal moment to commemorate our city and
community.
Proiect Title: Performing Arts Center Planning
Proiect Description: An artist would be hired to work with architects, staff and the
Performing Arts Center Board to define opportunities for artwork to be integrated
into the center.
Estimated 2000 Costs: $10,000
Funding Source: City Art Plan
Background: The Arts Commission recommends that public art have a major
presence in the new Performing Arts Center. As with many large public
construction projects, i.e. Regional Justice Center and Kent Train Station, the
artwork can become an integral and identifying element in the building. Planning
for the artwork helps with maximizing the budget, future maintenance and the
overall aesthetics of the building.
KENT ARTS COMMISSION
2000 CITY ART PLAN
Project Title: Neighborhood Parks/Reclamation Art Projects (RAP)
Proiect Description: This project is a continuation of the successful public art
program that has area youth designing and producing artworks with a
professional artist. The overall design of the projects (mural, installation,
environmental work, etc.) will be determined by the youth in cooperation with the
artist and Parks Department staff.
Estimated 2000 Costs: $18,000
Funding Source: City Art Plan
Background: The first Reclamation Art Project, the "Dig It" mural in West
Fenwick Park, was completed by students of Kent West High School in 1994.
Following the success of that project, four works were completed in 1995, two in
1996, three in 1997, two in 1998 and two in 1999 throughout the City. The
response from the youth and the community has been extremely positive. The
projects have promoted the City's interest in working with youth. Vandalism has
declined and money has been saved in maintenance. With the rapid expansion
of the City's parks system, including a variety of neighborhood parks, the Arts
Commission recommends that Reclamation Art Projects in the year 2000 take
place in some of these neighborhood parks. Possible sites are Chestnut Ridge
Park, East Hill Skate Park, International Park.
Proiect Title: 132nd Avenue Park Art Studio Artwork Planning
Proiect Description: An artist would be hired to work with staff, architects,
landscape architects, etc. to define opportunities for artwork to be integrated into
the art studio planned for the new 132"d Avenue Park.
Estimated 2000 Costs: $5,000
Funding Source: City Art Plan
Background: The Arts Commission recommends that public art have a major
presence in the new 132"d Avenue Park and Art Studio. A building on the current
132"d Avenue Parks Maintenance Annex site has been used as a temporary art
studio for several public participation art projects over the past several years.
_ The availability of an art studio largely contributed to the success of such projects
as the Lake Meridian Community Artworks. The artwork will provide an
aesthetically pleasing environment to welcome visitors to the facility and
celebrate the existence of a permanent art studio in our community.

Protect Title: Portable Collection Purchases
Proiect Description: Purchase high quality artworks from the Kent Canterbury
Faire Juried Fine Art Exhibit. The artworks will be exhibited in publicly accessible
areas of the City of Kent facilities.
Estimated 2000 Costs: $4,000
Funding Source: City Art Plan
Background: The City of Kent Arts Commission has established a collection of
portable artwork that includes paintings, prints and other works. The purchase
awards at the Canterbury Faire Fine Art Exhibit bring a higher quality of work to
the exhibit and allow the City to obtain artwork to enhance the public buildings.
This program also supports local artists and promotes participation in City
programs.

The Police Department applied for and received Equitable Sharing of Federally Forfeited Property. A

Any federally forfeited shared asset shall be used for law enforcement purposes in accordance with statues
and guidelines that govern equitable sharing and as specified in the equitable sharing request(either a

Every agency that receives cash.proceeds, or property as a result of a federal forfeiture is required to
submit(1)a Federal Equitable Sharing Agreement;(2)a Federal Annual Certification Report;and(3)an
annual audit. The revenues need to be set up in an interest bearing account. The Expenditures are required
to be permissible uses of shared funds and property as specified in the"Guide to Equitable Sharing of
Federally Forfeited Property for State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies."
Because of the stringent guidelines for applying,expending,and reporting on these funds,we are
requesting approval to establish a project for receiving and expending the funds for qualified expenditures.
The Finance Department has tentatively established appropriation W38 for this project so that I could
receipt the S3,102-84 check.

2. The subdivider/ developer shall provide engineering drawings for review and
approval by the City, and either construct or bond for the following:
a) A gravity sanitary sewer system to serve all lots. The sewer system shall
be extended to Southeast 264th Street and along the entire subdivision
frontage thereon, and shall be sized to serve all off-site properties within
the same service area. The size, location, and depth shall be as determined
necessary by the Public Works Department. The sewer system should be
located in such a manner to provide gravity service to the Crozier/
Preikshat/ Norder properties westerly with a connection to the existing
system in the vicinity of 108th Ave SE and SE 264th Street.
The Subdivider shall adjust the lot line of Lot 27 so that the north line of
the SW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 27, Township 22N,
Range 5E; W.M. which intersects the east boundary line, when extended
west would be 10' north of the new property line. The new property line
would then be the centerline of a 20' sanitary sewer easement for future
sewer interceptor line which will run east/west. No structure shall be
constructed over sanitary sewer easement. Lot 27 is per attached site plan
dated 3/23/95 and revised on 12/06/95.
The subdivider shall add a covenant to the plat informing property owners
of the tunnel operation for a Future sanitary sewer interceptor line.
The existing sewer force main easement on the north edge of the Mack
Property (Soon Creek Water & Sewer District recorded 1994) should be
delineated along with the "as-built" location of the force main. The
existing location of the Mack house septic tank/drainfteld should be
delineated along with provisions to keep it in service until the new gravity
sewer main is accepted for use and connected.

The meeting was called to order by Chair Judy Woods at 3:44 p.m.
Approval of Minutes of October 5, 1999
Committee Member Sandy Amodt moved to approve the September 21, 1999 Operations Committee
minutes. The motion was seconded by Judy Woods and carried 2-0.
Approval of the Combined Check-Detail Vouchers dated September 30, 1999
Assistant Finance Director John Hillman presented the combined check-detail vouchers dated
September 30, 1999. Sandy Amodt moved to approve the vouchers. Judy Woods seconded the
motion and it carried 2-0.
Adoption of the Republished Kent City Code Ordinance
City Attorney Roger Lubovich said that the Kent City Code was codified in the mid or early 1980's
and then was sent to a new publishing company in 1990 or 1991. With the new technology available
now the code can be enhanced to make it accessible to users via computer and the Internet, however
the current publisher couldn't meet those requirements. There were also problems getting
supplements from the current publisher, and there have been problems with errors in the publications.
A contract was established with Code Publishing to republish the existing codified code. By statute,
a codification requires a hearing and a first reading. Technically a republication doesn't hold that
requirement, but to make sure there were no challenges to the code, it was determined that the
statutory structure should be followed of having a first reading and a hearing on the republication.
The layout will be the same as in the existing code with the same chapters. The format has been
changed in print style and with less pages being used, thus cutting down on the cost of republishing
and supplementing. The code will be accessible through the Municipal Research Service Center via
the Internet. A person will be able to log on to the code book itself or click on to a link such as an
adopted RCW that's referenced in the code. The RCW will actually be displayed on the screen and
will be accessible to the public as well as city employees via the computer.
Mr. Lubovich asked that the item be sent to that night's Council meeting under Other Business for a
first reading and to schedule a hearing for the next Council meeting on October 19, 1999. If Council
adopts the Code, it would then be released for use.
Sandy Amodt asked if the code would be available on CD for people to purchase. Operations
Director Brent McFall said there are many amendments made to the code on a regular basis and CDs
would have to be updated constantly. If it's on the web, it can be updated automatically and that is a
convenient way to make sure people are getting an up-to-date code. Mr. Lubovich said the code
would be available for public purchase. The Code Publishing Company will sell hardbound copies
directly to the public. In the past copies of the code have been sold through City operations.
Operations Committee Minutes, 10/5/99 2
Judy Woods asked if there would be a way to inform the public that they can access the code on the
Internet. Mr. Lubovich said the City would probably do some marketing as is done with libraries.
Also, when people call in and ask for hardcopies, they would be informed that the code is available
on the Internet. All technologically updated municipal codes are on the Municipal Research web site.
Ms. Woods suggested running an information paragraph on Channel 21 when the code is available.
Mr. Lubovich said the web site could also be published on Council and Committee agenda packets.
Sandy Amodt offered the information that MRSC.org is the web site for the Municipal Research
Service Center.
Sandy Amodt moved that the Operations Committee recommend to the Council the first
reading of the proposed ordinance adopting the republished code and scheduling a hearing on
the matter for October 19, 1999. Judy Woods seconded the motion and it carried 2-0.

The condition of Riverbend is excellent, both the 9 hole and 18 hole courses. The proposed fee
increase should take place March 1, 2000 depending on whether the weather has been good.
Rico Yingling asked if Riverbend's fees are the highest in the area. John Hodgson said that they
are in the high end for municipal courses, but in the middle range compared to public courses.
Mr. Yingling asked what the increase in revenue would be from the fee increases. Mr. Hodgson

STAFF PRESENT: Jim Harris, Joe Mitchell, Justin Osemene, Gary Gill, Don Wickstrom, Roger
Lubovich, Jackie Bicknell, Tom Brubaker, Cyndi Wilbur
PUBLIC PRESENT: Lynn Dissinger, Paul Ching, Liz Warman, Fawn Fraaksen
The meeting was called to order by Chair Leona Orr at 4:10PM. There were three added items:
Citizen Comment by Paul Ching, Update on Zucker Report, and Group Discussion on Future Items to
Come to the Committee.
Approval of Minutes of September 20. 1999
Committee Member Tom Brotherton moved to approve the minutes of September 20, 1999. The
motion was seconded by Committee Member Rico Yingling and carried 3-0.
Closure of 256`h at 29`h Street - Update
Don Wickstrom, Public Works Director, said that Neighborhood Traffic Control Program
Coordinator Joe Mitchell had done a background search on the three apartment complexes in the area
to see if there was any written mitigation on closure of the road. Mr. Mitchell talked to the County,
the title company, and the street vacation section of the County Department of Development
Environmental Service, but found nothing. Mr. Wickstrom said Mr. Mitchell would proceed with the
traffic study.
Leona Orr mentioned she had received a call from one of the residents who said traffic counters had
been placed in the area, but in a place that wouldn't record the traffic the neighborhood is concerned
with. Joe Mitchell responded that the studies could be done in any area the neighborhood wants. The
current study is for speed volumes on 291h Street and the vicinity of 2561h. Ms. Orr suggested that Mr.
Mitchell talk to some of the people in the neighborhood about their concerns. She asked if anything
had been found during research regarding a street vacation to the Fred Meyer Shopping Center that
could have been used originally as a second access to the apartments except that the shopping area
did not want the access there. Mr. Mitchell said he had looked specifically for a closure on 256`h
Ms. Orr said the neighbors claim there was a street right of way that could have been used for a
second access but it was vacated because the shopping area didn't want the traffic. Mr. Mitchell said
there is a street in that neighborhood that runs into the Fred Meyer parking lot that is closed, but it's
not 256`h.
Tom Brotherton said he would like the study to include access out onto the main highway from the
apartment area. Once 2561h is closed, the only access to the apartment would be out to the main
highway. That intersection is on a curve and it's difficult to see very far when it's dark. Mr.
Brotherton said he was concerned about safety and whether closing the road would cause any major
problems there. He asked if there might be any mitigating activity in case the road closure became
permanent.
Ms. Orr said one of the area residents claims that at the time the apartments were built an agreement
was made with the neighborhood before the construction began that 256`h Street would not be a
Public Works/Planning Committee, 10/4/99 2
_ through street. Mr. Mitchell said staff had researched back to the early 1970s; and found nothing.
Ms. Orr said the gentleman who called may have some supporting documentation.
City Attorney Roger Lubovich said road closures in a city have to be done by a governing body.
There are three basic criteria for closing a street: use of the road damages the road, dangerous traffic,
and road improvements or repair. Prior to closing a road, a notice of publication containing the date
of closure must be published in a newspaper within the city. The road also has to be posted that's it
going to be closed, and it can't be closed any sooner than three days after publication and posting.
Don Wickstrom asked if a temporary closing could be done until the outcome of the studies are
concluded. Leona Orr recommended that it be for a six month time period, during which other
options would be looked at and the situation monitored to see if the closure has a positive impact.
She said she did not want the road closed permanently until it was decided that would be the best way
to handle the problem. Tom Brotherton moved to temporarily close 256`h Street at 29th for six
months or until the study is complete and accepted by the Committee. Rico Yingling seconded
the motion.
Rico Yingling emphasized that the goal is to solve the neighborhood's traffic problem and staff has
indicated that closure of the road won't do that. He said success needs to be clearly defined to
determine if closing the street is actually successful in solving the problems, and whether there could
be other unforeseen problems because of the closure. He asked that there be solutions to solve any
problems that might develop should the closure become a permanent solution. Leona Orr said it
would be helpful to the Committee and Council to get frequent updates on how the situation is
working. If it's not working at all, and creating other problems, staff shouldn't wait six months to
find a better solution.
Ms. Orr recommended as a friendly amendment to the motion that it be taken to the Council
for action at the October 5, 1999 Council Meeting. The motion with the amendment was voted
upon and carried 3-0.
SCATBd Advisory Interlocal Agreement Amendment.
Deputy City Attorney Tom Brubaker asked to defer the SCATBD Advisory Interlocal Agreement
Amendment until such time as Councilmember Tim Clark could be in attendance. Leona Orr
requested that it be put on the next Public Works/Planning Committee meeting agenda.
Commute Trip Reduction Act Interlocal Agreement Authorization
Don Wickstrom said the Commute Trip Reduction Act Interlocal Agreement must be adopted in
order to get the money through King County to continue operation of the City's Commute Trip
Reduction Program. Tom Brotherton moved to recommend authorizing the Mayor to sign the
Commute Trip Reduction Interlocal Agreement upon concurrence of the language therein by
the City Attorney. The motion was seconded by Rico Yingling and carried 3-0.
Citizen Comment by Paul Ching
Paul W. Ching, 581.3 S 238`h CT., #F-6, said he was a graduate geologist and registered Civil
Engineer with experience with Public Water systems, having done water analysis studies during
postgraduate work, drilled water wells, and constructed water pipelines. He has worked in the private
sector with Dames and Moore and the public sector with the Bureau of Reclamation and Corp of
Engineers. Mr. Ching congratulated the Kent Department of Public Works on their Water Quality
Report, Volume 1, Issue 1, which was recently mailed out to Kent citizens. He said it was the first
time he had ever seen a public agency put out such effort to make the public aware of its water
Public Works/Planning Committee, 10/4/99 3
quality and sources. The report was well written and informative for the general public. The advice
offered in the Frequently Asked Questions section was well thought out and appreciated. Mr. Ching _
said such reports to inform the public are a good idea and good policy. They tell the public what the
government is doing on their behalf. He commended the person who thought to write the report, and
said he would like to see more of these reports periodically.
The Zucker Report
Jim Harris, Planning Director, said that in the process of implementing the Zucker Report, a task
force was formed which meets every Thursday. The first task was a mission statement that stated the
intent of the permit center as being customer and citizen oriented so that staff and customers could
work together in a collaborative situation. The primary function of the center will be to provide a
one-place location where customers may apply for a majority of permits for projects in Kent.
Applicants would also come back to the center for permit issuance and payment. When the
Centennial Building is rebuilt, the co-located permit center will be built on the first floor in the area
where the Planning Administration and Planning Services Divisions are now located. The rest of the
Planning Department will go to the third floor. Internal design aspects of the permit center are being
created now.
Three co-located permit centers were visited in Bellevue, Renton and Tukwila as a way to research
how they operate. Mr. Harris said timelines are one of the problems Kent incurs today. Other cities
give ranges rather than a specific timeline while Kent has the habit of saying a permit will be ready in
30 days. However, it takes more employees to speed up the timelines, and so the Planning
Department applied for and was authorized 13 new positions which will be crucial in tightening those
timelines. Right now there is a quasi hiring freeze on in theCity, and of the 13 positions, only seven
are being hired now. Those include an Intake Person in the Fire Department, hired October 8`h, a
Construction Inspector in Public Works, hired October I", and an Office Technician hired on
September 15`. Two Planning Department Plans Examiners will be hired and a Planning Assistant on
October 23rd.
The Task Force will move forward with the seven new people to see how the timelines can be
shortened. One of the things that the Zucker Report was adamant about was that staff understand the
customers and what's going on with them, so customers are asked a set of questions in order to get
feedback for areas needing improvement. Most people have said they didn't have a problem with the
permit process, except they would like to get phone calls back. Callbacks have been initiated with
the managers calling back people who have permits out. On November 15`s, staff will start doing
one-day permits. An analysis is being done to make sure permits actually can be issued in one day
and that the permits referred to as "24 hour permits" can be done within 24 hours.
Plans include a group of meetings to be held where different departments and divisions will start
working with each other to overcome some of the problems that keep cropping up. Work will
continue on the co-located permit center design. The design so far emphasizes customer spaces with
a receptionist but no counter. Three Intake Technicians will have a small counter in front of their
workspace. The customer will get information from the receptionist and then be sent to an intake
person. There will also be a self-help area. The City of Renton has a beautiful self help area with
interactive computers containing all the maps, books, codes and ordinances, and handout instructions
that people may need. They don't have to talk with anyone if they don't want. Renton has a Senior ,
Planner close to the center to help customers when they need it and the feedback so far has been that
it's great.
Public Works/Planning Committee, 10/4/99 4
_ The area should be large enough for a play area for the children that come in with their parents. Mr.
Hams said the little amenities are important, and by living up to the mission statement and truly
becoming customer oriented, Kent will be able to have the best permit center in Puget Sound. A
great number of permits come in and some are very complex and take a lot of special engineering,
analysis, and back and forth contact with the customer until it's honed down and gotten to a mutual
position where the permit can be issued.
Rico Yingling said he was under the impression that the permit fees had been increased to pay for the
new employees. Jim Harris said the fees were changed in January of 1999 and the Zucker Report
was done in April. Leona Orr asked for clarification on whether at the time the permit fees were
changed it was done more to reflect the actual cost to issue the permits. Mr. Harris said that at that
time the City wasn't taking in enough money to pay for the Hearing Examiner or the advertisements
in the Seattle PI or Times and money was needed to cover out of pocket costs. Rico Yingling
speculated the business community would be concerned that they supported an increase in fees with
the assumption it would bring in the people needed to get the permits out faster, and then a hold was
put on those hires. Mr. Harris commented that staff worked diligently to classify all the types of
permits and the days each would take and discovered there was already a deficit in staff. Actual costs
to issue the permits and employee deficit combined to create the realization for need of a fee increase.
Mr. Harris said he would like to copy Bellevue's system, which has four intake persons for a city of
110,000. They do less permits than Kent but their permit value is much more, $610 million dollars
compared to Kent's S 130 million because they build 20 story buildings and Kent builds one and two
story buildings. In Bellevue people from different departments work in cubicles with the customers,
each department giving 35 hours a week. Those people still report to their home departments, but the
intake persons, secretaries, and phone people report to a coordinator hired to run the center. Bellevue
doesn't tolerate customers that try to get around things by not giving enough plans. However, if a
person comes in and they need four sets of plans and have only three, Bellevue will make the extra
set for them. Mr. Harris said that's real customer service.
Rico Yingling read part of the Mission Statement: "The mission of the Kent Permit Center is to
provide the City's permit customers and citizens with a friendly, timely and fair permit process in a
collaborative framework while maintaining the integrity of the City's development codes and by
protecting and promoting the public interest in a safe and appropriate manner." He asked what is
being done now to promote that friendly service environment for customers. Mr. Harris said that is
not a present policy. There is a policy that customers are not to harass employees. Two people
recently had to be dealt with because they were harassing two employees. Mr. Harris said he
explained to the customers that they were being counterproductive.
Rico Yingling said that most of the calls he gets from the community have to do with complaints
about permitting and half of those are that people wait at the Planning Department counter for a long
time before they get anyone to recognize that they're there. Jim Hams said he watches that very
carefully and no one has complained that they didn't get waited on at the counter in a timely manner.
They did complain about not having telephone calls returned in a timely manner. He said the
problem is the vast counters. People don't know where to go, although there is a bell that can be rung
for service. He said staff is working diligently to never let anyone wait more than a minute or so, and
there are standing orders in the Planning Department for staff to not turn their backs on anybody. It
will take some training to iron out all the wrinkles.
Rico Yingling remembered that one of the recommendations from the Zucker study was that different
queues should be set up for the different types of building permits issued. He asked if there had been
- r
Public Works/Planning Committee, 10/4/99 5
any progress on creating a number of queues instead of one. Mr. Harris said the plan hadn't gotten
that far yet, as the Task Force is still working on the whole permit center design
Tom Brotherton asked about an environmental checklist that is filled out whenever a person comes in
to do a project. Jim Harris said the SEPA checklist of about 30 questions is done on all large
projects, totaling approximately 70 in a year, such as the big warehouses, commercial buildings, and
all subdivisions. A residential project or small office wouldn't have to do the checklist if it's less
than 5,000 square feet, unless it generates 12 trips or more per day or has 20 or more parking stalls.
A majority of the permits issued never go through SEPA. Mr. Brotherton was concerned that some
of the people might need help on how to answer many of the questions. Mr. Harris said that staff
would help the small projects out, especially the people that seem to be really challenged by the list.
Mr. Brotherton suggested that the permit center should provide additional help for people like that.
Mr. Harris responded that staff would be available at the self-help counter to work with any people
that would need it.
Group Discussion on Future Items to come to the Committee
Tom Brotherton brought two discussion items before the Committee.
1. Traffic Congestion: Mr. Brotherton said he would like to learn more about the traffic congestion
problem and what can be done about it. He asked that someone come with a map to the next
Committee meeting and explain where the worst congestion intersections are in the City and the
traffic patterns that pertain to them. An"off the top of the head" explanation is fine. Rico Yingling
said one of the biggest concerns of the community is that traffic is too fast in the neighborhoods and
too slow on the arterials. He asked for information that would tell what the major problems are, what
the City is doing to change or alleviate the situation, or why the situation may get worse before it gets
better. Don Wickstrom said he would try to come up with some information.
2. Lot Size of Single Familv Residences in Multi Family Zones: Mr. Brotherton questioned why if
someone chooses to build single family houses in an area that's zoned multi-family with relatively
high density, they're constrained to a larger minimum lot size than if they were to build the houses in
a single family zoned area. He wanted to understand why once an area is zoned for a certain density
with multi family, that density is artificially lowered simply because someone is building single
family residences. Mr. Brotherton thought perhaps a mistake had been made. The highest single
family density should apply which is normally a lot size minimum of 4000 square feet, but for a
single family house in a multi family zoned area the limit is 5000 square feet.
Leona Orr asked that Mr. Brotherton's concern be sent to the Planning Department with the request
that it be brought back to the next Committee meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:57PM.
