Street recommended that, the first items to be considered
be storm drainzi e projects, as follows :
1. Proposed settling basin on Mill Creek with l",ing County
jointly sponsoring and funding.
King County $26,000
City of Kent $26,000
2. IIoldincj basin at 104th and 267Lh, land acquisition
and construction
$300 ,000
3 . PTrmping station - South Central

4. Right-of-laay P-1 Channell
$1,500 ,000
Ile further suggested that $15 ,000 be allocated as seed
money 'Co start the Central Eusiness District development
project, noting that the money coulc; be used for salary
for a coordinator, or., other related expenses such as
preparation of `irlashingrto;r. Futures applications and models
of suggested development. Ile noted further that the
Parks and Recreation Commission has proposed that a
"Peoples Program" coulC be administered through the
Parks Department, utilizing -the bent Activity Council
for citizen. participation. The Parks Commission has
suggested that $50, 000 be (Iosi,jnated for Feople Programs,
and $75 ,000 for Capital Improvements. Street iias recomrnencl-
ed that this proposal not be accel:rLed, because funds
allocated -to the Parks Cumulative Reserve Fund cannot be
used for other purposes, even if not used for park. projects.
Street urcred that the joint program l,iitli Icing County
for the :ettlincr basin on Mill Creel: be approved , thhat
$4,000 be allocated for engineering of the holding pond

could not be used for the reduction of utility taxes.
Elliottpointed out that tile Finance Committee ha(1 asked
the Finance Director to provide estimates of revenue for
next year and that the utiliti, would be examined at
a later date this year.
Kitto referred to item 41 and asked what the $52, 000
suggested for the settling basin oil dill Creek would
cover. Ulett explained that primarily it would be for
a roadway into the site, and construction of a basin
designed to reduce the velocity of the water going
through. Ile 1:)ointed out tilzlt this money would cover
the first step and t1i,-1t basins downstream would still

public hearing, Kit-to seconCGeC,, motion carrie6l .
MARTELL MOVED for -the City Attorney to prepare an ordin-
ance adopting, the receipts and proposed expen(litures of
Federal :revenue Sharin(.; funds Lis follows : 1) Proposer]
settling basin oil Mill CreeK, with King County jointly
sponsoring and funding Ftt Kinri County $26,000 and City
of Kent $2G,000 . 22) Holding basin at 104th Ave. S .E. and
S.E. 2G7th: $4,000 for the necessary encjineerinc� for the
holc I � I __01
I ling ponC, and the city to be Circcte(� LO 7L' T,)ly for

of the pond and open space. 3 ) Pumping Station, South
Central - $175 , 000 . Z.) '?'15 , 000 for the CIDD project
for seed, money to start the project. Elliott seconded
and su(�Frfested that the balance be earmarked for storm
drain,irie, .'Atli the undersLan(_Ung that if Clefinite "reople
Pkorframs" were developed by the Parks Department, that
money could be transferred for this. Martell concurred
and noted that the fiin6s could also be used for the P-1
channel project. Kitto no'Cocl t1i",-it the proposals of the
Chamber of Commerce had merit and he hoped these might be
considered in the future . He stated that he o-i)IDoseC the
al, _loc tior for the "'ou-1) Centr7tl rumpin(i station, that
he ac.reerl with the i�driinist-rator Llhat LlAs shoul-6 be part
Of the overall sGori-tt (Irainarfe p,_,or+ram iihic.h co",Ild then he
made a par' of a revei)ue boMl 1.111SUC.
Just .Mated that he understood that the P-1 channel
program would cover a 10 year storm, but that the holding
ponds would increase this capacity possibly up to a 25
year storm. Elliott noted that the project sheet for the
East Valley Highway project proposed stormwater pumping
station stated, a) the purpose of the humping station is:
provide a positive drainage system for the south arel of
the City of Kent extending from willis Street south to
the Green River and from approximately Van de Vanter
west to the Burlington Northern Railroad, b) eliminate
flooding of street areas for storm sewers of an intensity
of 25 years + frequency. Protection would be provided
during those periods when the Green River is at high
water stage, which is approximately 12 feet above the
outf all of the storm drainage system, c) the installa-
tion of this pumping station and drainage system will
remove the storm water flow from the area south of
Millis Street that has been i.ryinc; to flow north in the
Central Avenue storm sex.aer. By removal of this I)ortion
of the flow, less flooding wouid occur in the intersections
of Neeker Street and Central Avenue and Smith Street ind
Central Avenue.

Motion carried , over I:itto 's 'n ay. Kitto noted that. he
was not against the storm sewer project, but was not in
favor of the pumping plant portion for reasons lie had
previously stated.
At Street 's recommendation, for clarification, ELLIOTT
MOVED for the City Attorney to be directed to prepare
an ordinance creating a Central Dusiness District pro-
ject fund, Kitto seconded, motion carried.
HEALTH & Sanitary and Storm Sewer Survey and Comprehensive Plan.
SANITATION At last work session, the matter of the comprehensive
sewer and storm drain study was a part of the consider-
ation of the Central .Business District discussion. On
May 30 , Walt Ramsey of hill, Ingman and Chase contacted
the Environmental Protection Agency, which will fund the
plan. The plan must be submitted in two phases. Phase I -
Existing Sanitary Sewer and Storm Drain Studies, could
be done in 90 days. This must be completed before Phase
II will be approved .
The City Administrator proposes that the City authorize
Phase I which is on a time and material base with a
guaranteed top of $1G,500 plus, for sufficient engineer-
ing on the Central Business District to allow the appli-
cation for this portion -to be . submitted at the same time
that Phase I is submitted .
This approximate $20,000 can be allocated from the
sewer Fund and repaid to the fund when the financing
is approved by EPA, and this method is preferred by EPA.
A copy of Hill, Ingman and Chase 's Sewer System Analysis
and Evaluation Survey and Saritary and Sewer Comprehen-
sive Plan has been received by each Councilman and has
been placed on file.
JUST MOVED that the City enter into a contract with Hill,
Ingman and Chase in accordance with the proposal suggested
by the Administrator, Martell seconded, motion carried.

ation of the Engineering Department, MARTELL MOVED to

210 lineal foot sanitary sewer line to serve McDonalds,
Elliott seconded, motion carried.
Drainage. It was noted that John Fournier wrote a letter
to the Administrator concerning the filling of the lot
adjacent to 000 Lenora Street. Loose material from the
steep hillside was rolling or washing down onto 900 Lenora..
The fill had been placed without a permit and a stop work
order was issued with a notice that no structure could
be placed on this property without adequate soil engineer-
ing to prove that a hazard does not exist.
STREETS A letter from the Chamber of Commerce was read, noting
that the Board of Directors had unanimously adopted three
priorities regarding street improvements in Kent: 1) the
improvement of Smith Street from 4t1h Avenue to at least
Central Avenue, widening to four lanes; with curbs, gutters
and resurfacing, 2) the improvement of Gowe Street
from -the Union Pacific tracks to Jasoil, widening out,
with curbs, gutters and resurfacing , 3) to provide
funding to share the cost with Ding County of a new
South Central bridge over Green River and eventual
five lanes from Kent to Auburn on East Valley Road.
1,L%STERS MOVED to accept the letter and to refer it to
the Traffic Engineer for consideration of -the Street.
improvement program, Martell seconded, motion carried.
iiATER •I♦t was noted that at the last work session, consideration
VYas given to the request of Reliable Distributors to use
Renton water in their Lroposed location on S . 1('30tb.
The Director of Public i7orks and the Administrator
have recommender', that the request be denied, as the most
logical division between Renton and Kent is S . 100t1l.
JUST MOVED to deny the request, unless positive information
is provided -that a division other than S . 18bth is logical,
Elliott seconded, motion carried .
FINANCE Secfrecration Requests . DITTO MOVED for the Treasurer and
the Engineer to process LID st��jrey�aLio>> i,ecJuetil:s tor.

RECREATION State High School Baseball Championship last weeken(l and
approximately 7000 people attended the Games . Iie noted
that Mayor Ilog an awarded the winning trophy to Kennedy
High School. Baffaro stated that additional parking was
needed for such events .
METRO State Land Planning Bill . Mayor IIocan noted that she has
been assigned to a fourth committee for Metro, the Inter-
governmental Relations Sub-Committee, formed to study
the state land plan bill . She noted that the bill as
it now stands changes some of the enabling legislation
which was set to form Iletro. She pointed out that the
Puget Sound Governmental Conference favors the bill,
and that it is difficult to sit on both the PSGC and
the Metro Committees. The City Attorney will review
the bill as soon as a complete copy is available. She
noted that by September, reports are expected from AWC,
Metro, Bing County and PSGC, and urged the Council to
study the bill .
Sewage Disposal . A letter teas read from Metro, including
a certified copy of Resolution 1365 , adopted by the Pietro
Council on May 17 , 1973 , setting forth the total monetary
requirements for sewage disposal of the Municipality for
1974. PLASTERS MOVED to accept the letter and resolution
and for them to be made a part of the record , Thornton
seconded, motion carried.
ZONING City Attorney Mirk noted that several letters had been
CODE, received relative to the Zoning Code after the conclusion
of the public hearings. He noted that the letters should
not be read into the record , as the hearing has been con-
cluded . MASTERS MOVED to make note that copies of letters
from: Burlington Northern Railroad, Shelter-All-West,
Lloyd L. Sherman, Robert E. Morrison and Paul Weiser,
regarding the proposed zoning code, received after May
9th, be made a part of the record and to note further that
each Councilman has received a copy of each of these letters.
Elliott seconded, motion carried. Harris noted that sev-
eral items under the Sign portion of the code had not
been resolved by the Council, relating to off-premise
signs, and the size of free standing signs. IIe distri-
buted copies of proposed additional changes as follows :
I. ADD: Section 5 .4.3 Off Premise Signs
1 ) Not more than four (4) sign structures
within a lineal mile (beginning at the north
city boundary at S . 100th Street - Section
;0 & 31 - and moving south to the south
C1'--v bounO_:,ry 1 7.rlP) .
^ ) Bash structure shall be at least one thou.san('
(1000) feet apart.
3 ) Off premise signs are ,,ermitted in only Pi-1 ,
II-3 ar1d in-C districts.
4) Standards
a) Maximum size : 300 square feet
h) Maximum height: 35 feet
c) Distance from any intersection :
300 feet
d) Back-to-back and V-type sign structures
shall be considered one sign sttuctures.
Harris suggested that the staff could insert the changes
into the code. Ile clarified the points which should be
changed, referring to a chart which has been placed on
file, referring, specifically to square footage per
face for free standing signs in the various zones.
Thornton questioned item 4c noting that the average
block is 300 feet and this would indicate that no signs
would be permitted in a block. Harris explained that
not more than 4 signs would be allowed in a lineal mile ,
and that "intersection" for this purpose meant major in-
tersections, not each block intersection. Upon Elliott 's
question, Harris explained that -the staff wanted to have
this spelled out rather than relying on having it covered
by the sight obscuring section alone.
Upon Martell 's question, Harris noted that the staff
wanted to tie down the size of the free standing signs
as to the maximum size allowed . Thornton said that this
proposal was different from the changes agreed upon.
Harris pointed out that this had been explained verbally,
at a meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Play 21 , and then determined
that not all of the Councilmen had attended this meeting.
Martell stated that he objected to new recommendations
after the hearing had been held and MOVED to accept the
additional changes as printed above with these changes :
Section 5 4 3 Off Premis? Sictns 41 . Change to : "not more
than four structures within 1000 feet. " , 14'3 Off premise
signs will be permitted in . . . . ADD "MA zone" , #4 delete

change to read "freestanding or attached" . TYPES bffice
District 25 square feet per face be changed to "50 square
feet per face" , Roof Signs change to1125 square feet to be
maximum square footage height to 5 feet" Just seconded.
Kitto noted that the c{ianc;es proposed by Martell were
hard to follow and recommended that the changes suggested
by the Planning Staff be adopted, pointing out further
that the code could be amended if necessary. MARTELL 'S
MOTION FAILED, with Baff aro, Elliott, Kitto and Plasters
voting nay. BAFFARO MOVED to accept Harris ' suggestions
as submitted , Masters seconded . MARTELL MOVED TO AMEND
the motion to include the change of not more than four
structures within 1000 feet. " Elliott seconded the
amendment. Amendment carried , with Baffaro, Kitto and
Plasters voting against. I-lotion, as amended , carried with
Just, Thornton and Martell voting against. I:ITTO MOVED

Mayor Kogan asked if there had been any input from the
public as to what the increased compensation will cover,
or if there had been any indication to people who might
file .for council as to what will be required of them.

Transportation Commission. The present siding which
crosses First Avenue was authorized in 1957 . In re-
viewing the minutes of Council meetings,nothincr was
recorded concerning the possible extension of this siding
across Third Avenue. The first action is for 1•ir. Lynch
to apply to the Utilities and Transportation Commission
for .such a crossing. This application. gill 'then be sub-
mitted to the Kent Council for consideration and require-
ments of signals . When these matters are finalized, the
Commission may then waive further hearings, or hold
hearings, at their discretion. MARTELL MOVED, Kitto
seconded to note receipt of the request of Lynch Manu-
facturing for a rail siding extension across Third
