Six Year Improvement Program. The Director
of Public Works noted that Public Hearings
were held so that the public could review the
City ' s major street construction programs
planned for the next six years . He pointed
out that two separate hearings would be held

Year Comprehensive Street Program, for which
funding would be from other than State Arterial
Funds, and 2 ) to consider the City' s Six Year
Comprehensive Arterial Street Program (U.A.B. ) .
Mayor Hogan opened the public hearing on the
Six Year Comprehensive Street Program. Ulett
noted that there are twelve projects proposed
under this program and described each project,
giving the anticipated completion date and
the expected cost. Mrs. Don Hurwitz spoke
from the audience regarding item No. 91, the
proposed improvement of 42nd Avenue South
from 262nd to the Reith Road. She noted that
there were two schools on this street and im-
proving this road would increase the traffic
in the vicinity of the schools, where there
were no sidewalks . Mary Jordan pointed out
that the schools ' playfields would also be
on this route . K:i.tto .inquired as to the
status of the Reith Road/Military Road inter-
section, and Ulett noted that the County, will
share in the cost of this project and that
the contract should be approved soon, as
the project is expected to be under contract
by the end of 1974. Upon K.itto ' s question
about the possible completion of Reith Road,
Ulett pointed out that there would be no U.A.B.
funds for this project, so :it should come under
this hearing. Ulett noted that Reith Road was
not listed because the road was to be straightened
as well as being :improved, and stated that this
project could be added to this program at any
time . It was pointed out that there were side-
walks in the immediate vicinity of the schools
only. Kristine Demb.iczak stated that traffic
would be increased in the school ary a during
the time that the Reith Road would be under
STREETS construction. Rosetta Jones commented that
an extension of 42nd Avenue South would put
a corridor through this residential area and
increase the traffic . Garth Jones stated that
he could see no reason for the extension of 42nd
Avenue South. There were no further csorment
and KITTO MOVED to close the hearing,

Six Year Urban Arterial Street_Program, The
Director of Public Works descr.i.bed the projects
which make up the Six Year Urban Arterial Street
Program. He noted that funds for such projects
are now limited and therefore the number of'
projects has been reduced to six. Ulett
described each project, giving the probable
cost of each and the scheduled year for comple-
tion. The Mayor opened the public hearing .
Rosetta Jones commented that there is a slope
problem on Titus Street and Ulett noted that
the State Highway Department is to take care
of this problem. It was also .p.ointed out that.
the slo e on Willis Street will be taken care
p on Storment ' s
of by the final overlay. Upon
question, Ulett noted the difficulties involved
in programs for improving 104th S .E . (Benson
Highway) . Portions of this road are in the
City and portions are in the County, which
has resulted in a 2-lane stretch of road
4 lanes and then returning
widening into ,
to a 2-lane road again. Street noted that
some City funds will have to be utilized :for
some of the projects because the urgency of
the situation may not permit. waiting for UAB
funds to become available . Upon .a question
from the audience regarding the plans for the
intersection at Meeker and West Valley Highway,
Ulett noted that the contract had already been
awarded and the work, including a new signal ,
should commence soon.

3) In add:it.i.on, this City of Kent Council
go on record of not servicing any more
Tukwila property on the east side of the
Green River and that the City of Tukwila
Council make a resolution of intent not
to annex property south of the McCann
plat east of the River.
Kitto seconded . Ki.tto asked Ulett if he would
suggest any additions to the motion. Ulett
noted that the first two items were conditions
which he had suggested . He pointed out that
his other suggestions were standard developer
extension policies which have been used before
and that City ordinances specify the rates to
be charged for property lying outside the City
limits.
Storment stated that he would like to have
some specific amount of acreage put in the
motion, noting that he had heard references
to 80 acres and to 72 acres. Street stated
that the figure had not been determined by
the engineering staff. Al Blaine, represent-
ing Mr. McCann, noted that this was approxi-
mately 80 acres but. only 72 acres were building
lots; the rest would be for roads . Upon
McCaughan 's question, Mirk noted that the
developer of the plat has to pay all assess-
ments on any portion of the plat which :is
being dedicated :for public right of way,
and that area assessment should be based
on raw acreage .
Mirk questioned the Council as to the reason
for the third condition. McCaughan stated
that in his opinion the thing they were
working toward is that the Railroad property
should be properly annexed to the City of
Kent . He noted that the City has gone
through all of the necessary channels to
get McCann to annex to the City of Kent;
that all of our questions have been answered;
and that they have declined to annex. He
stated that he -thought at this time the City
should try to make sure that Tukwila will
not come down further south into the City
of Kent territory. Mirk noted that that
particular condition would not be enforceable .
McCaughan conceded that this might be true,
but he felt that such a resolution 'of intent
on the part of the City of Tukwila will
weigh heavily with the Boundary Review Board
at such time as the situation might arise.
Mirk stated that Mayor Todd ' s proposal,
which Kent rejected, sounded like the one
the Council was now considering.
HEALTH & It was pointed out that utility rates were .
SANITATION determined on whether the property is
inside or outside the City. Street stated
that when figuring square footage
utilities you do not include the public
rights of way, but if the utility LID goes
in before the streets are dedicated, then
you would . Mr. Blaine determined that the ---
streets will be dedicated to the City of
Tukwila. Mirk clarified for Blaine that
the "per acre charge should cover the
I
entire acreage and there should be no con-
sideration for a charge in lieu of assess-
ment for the fact that some streets would
be dedicated to the City of Tukwila.
McCaughan stated that if they have dedicated
the streets to the City of Tukwila already
then they should be considered public
property and should not be counted in the
j acreage charge .
Just stated that he wanted to go on record
as opposing this motion as it violates
present City policy, in extending services
outside the City limits and stated that while
III he knew it could mea
n .income to the City, it
was income that the City had never had or
intended to have at the time the utility lines
were installed . Johnson concurred with Just
Kitto stated that if people were against this
j proposal because of "policy" then perhaps it
is time to examine the policy. He noted
further that he agreed with McCaughan ' s
motion and to oppose it by just standing
on present policy would not make much sense .
Storment noted that in the past we have not
permitted people to connect to Kent sewer lines
because they do not live in the City, and
questioned how the City can justify considering
taking an opposite stand now. McCaughan pointed
out that the City would be losing utility
customers by not accepting this plat outside
the City limits. He asked what the income
would be for utilities to this plat but the
information had not been compiled ,
The Mayor noted that the Boundary Review Board
had advised that this extension of service
outside of the City be granted, which is not
the usual stand they take and that this should
lend some weight to the decisionA Street
advised that the reason the Boundary Review
Board did this was because this is a request
from one municipality to another and they
encourage such cooperation. He pointed out
that the Boundary Review Board ' s stand on
j the issue of supplying utilities to a private
developer outside the City is another matter
entirely, and stated further that the Boundary
Review Board said there is no question but
�I. that this is the logical way to get the
service from the standpoint of the public
utilities . Baffaro concurred with Street.
