MINUTES JUST ITCVED 1 o approve as pr i nted the mi nutes of the melting held Octoher F, 1075, Kitto seconded. Motion carried. PE'OP!E George B. Ward. On Sentemher 23, 1975, the Plan- ning Commission held a pahlic hearing on an appli- cation filed by George B. Ward for a rezone from MA, Industrial Agricultural , to A",I , Industrial Park, for property located at the southeast corner of South 212th Street and Russell load. The Plan- ning Commission recommended t5at this rezone appli- cation he denied. 71anning Director Harris described the area for which the rezone is requested, noting that it was a parcel of land containing approximately 5Z acres, and that a parcel adjacent to the Russell ;load/S . 212th intersection was not included in the rezone request . The ar^ licant , Ceorge Ward, stated that he did not quite understand the reasons for the Planning Commissi >n's recommendation to deny the apFlication. Card noted that the Boeing facility was zoned M-1 and nas located just north of the suhiect nronerty. He pointed out that is uas paying assessments for a five-lane highway, and also paying assessments for sewer and water. He stated that sewer and water facilities were adequate for the property, that there was good access, and adequate drainage. He indicated that rezoning the property would enable he and his partners to realize something from their investment in it . It was determined that they had owned the property for about five years. There were no further comments and STORMENT MOVED to close the hearing, McCaughan seconded. Motion carried. McCaughan questioned whether 'Ward had any guarantee that the property could be sold if it was rezoned M-I . Ward commented that there would be a better opportunity to develop it or sell it if it was re- zoned, although he had no guarantee. Ward also indi- cated that it was not his objective to realize a big financial gain on the property. Upon Baffaro's ques- tion, Harris noted that there were many vacant areas zoned M& in the same area as the subject property. Upon Mayor Hogan's question, Harris determined that the zoning of the property in question was MA when it was purchased five years ago. Upon McCaughan's question, Harris noted that the uses allowed for MA zoning must be related to agricultural uses such as agricultural storage or nurseries, but not manufactur- ing. Baffaro inquired if the tax structure on 1v'A and M-1 zoned property was the same. Harris opined that if the tax was based on the "highest and best `-' use" of the property, that Mrl would carry a higher tax rate. In respcnse io Storment 's question, Harris pointed out that NA zoning extends south all the way to James, except for a small area that is zoned l.r- I October 20, 1975 RE-ONE at S. 228th and the tussel I toad, containing manu— facturing facilities which were allowed as pre—exist— ing. Masters inquired if the Planning Commission minutes were correct in stating that Ward does not have a buyer for this property, and therefore could not submit plans for development . Ward agreed that this was true and the reason for the rezone request was so they could sell the property. He also noted that in regard to taxes he was of the opinion that taxes were based on the selling price by King County and also noted that the taxes were quite high. Masters noted that there are many property owners holding idle M-1 zoned property in that area who are also paying assessments. KITTO MOVED that the recommendation of the Planning Commission be upheld, Just seconded. Motion carried. APPEAL Teleprompter. It was noted that the Director of Public Works has denied an application submitted by Tele— UNDERGROUND prompter for a variance to the underground wiring WIRING ordinance. The following information has been sub— ORDINANCE mitted by Ulett : "Teleprompter requested a variance to allow the in— stallation of overhead T.V. cable on James Street from First Avenue to Fifth Avenue on the basis that the cost outweighs the general welfare of an under— ground installation. Their cost comparisons are: For Underground $6,669.64 For Overhead 984.62 Although there is considerable merit in their request not only because of the substantial cost differential but also because there are a multitude of overhead power and telephone wires already existing on the poles to which they would add the T.V. cable. The variance request was DENIED because the underground ordinance gives no method of determining wheiher 'the cost outweighs the general welfare. " "Despite the variance denial , the Director of Public Works recommends that Council APPROVE the above ground installation. If that recommendation is taken, the action will serve as the criteria for action at staff level for future similar variance requests." Mayor Hogan declared the public hearing open. The Clerk reported that no correspondence had been re— ceived on this matter. Larry McHugh, Assistant District Manager for Teleprompter, spoke from the audience, not— ing that the variance is requested so that service may be extended to that portion of Kent which was rebuilt two years ago. He pointed out that the service is avail— able, and that the Company only wants to make the connec— tion so that the service in this part of the City can be restored to the people who want it. He stated that the Company is prepared to underground the lines at their own expense at such time as the other utilities also place their lines underground. Upon Kitto's question, Ulett opined that this is an unusual situation in that the poles which Teleprompter would use are already in existence and have phone and power lines on them, so the addition of the Teleprompter lines would not make an appreciable difference esthetically. October 20, 1975 APPEAL Ulett noted for Johnson that if this request was granted, the City might expect similar variance UNDERGROUND requests, but that the number of lines now on the fdIRING poles in a given area would be an important factor. ORDINANCE He pointed out that as an example, the poles on James Street are quite loaded with wires already, so the addition of the Teleprompter lines would not make a great difference here. Storment asked if a variance for a cable had pre— viously been denied in the 'Jest Hill area, and Ulett noted that such a request had been denied in the Lake Fenwick area, but that most of west Hill has underground utilities. McHugh noted that Teleprompter was not asking to extend their service or to build up new areas, but merely to connect people who previously had this service. He determined that the wires were there before the new construction in the City, and in effect they only wanted to connect the two existing lines to restore service to the portion of the City which had been cut off. He pointed out that the system had been updated and that Kent could now handle 20 channels, including a channel for the Kent School District . Upon Storment 's question, Teleprompter engineer, Jim Anderson, explained that there was only a 4" difference be— tween the size of the distribution wire on James and the line on Ist Avenue North. McHugh stated that the wires on North Ist , 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Avenues are already in but cannot be connected until the fine is placed on James Street between North Ist and North 5th, and that this is exactly what tihe variance covers. There were no further comments, and JUST MOVED to close the public hearing, Masters seconded. Motion carried. KITTO MOVED that the information submitted by Ulett, (as written in these minutes, in quotes, on page 3), be made a part of the record. Masters seconded. Motion carried. KITTO MOVED that the variance be allowed for reasons that the cost outweighs the general welfare of an underground insta ; Iation and because there are a multitude of overhead power and telephone wires already existing on the poles which Teleprompter would use, Johnson seconded. Masters suggested that it be INCLUDED IN THE MOTION that this is, in fact , restoring service and Kitto and Johnson agreed to the inclusion. Upon Baffaro's question, it was determined that at such time as the other utilities were placed underground, the poles would be removed, so Teleprompter would also have to underground their lines. Storment questioned whether it really was in order to grant a variance if this request was to replace a line, noting that the ordinance requiring under grounding was in exis— tence three years ago. He stated that he feared granting the variance viou I d set a precedent. Street pointed out that this should notoccur since service was not being expanded. Kitto opined that the con- ditions contained in the motion would limit further requests. Motion carried, with Storment voting nay. October 20, 1975 HOUSING 1976 Program. It was noted that the Planning Depart— COMViJNITY ment has been collecting input on community needs for DEVELOPMENT the 1976 Housing & Community Development Program by holding neighborhood meetings and speaking to local service groups and clubs. A public hearing is sche— duled for this meeting to obtain any additional input on community needs and housing needs and to provide citizens with information concerning the overall 'pro— gram. A second public hearing on "needs" and 1976 pro— jects will be held on November 3. Harris noted that handouts, which have been made a part of the record, were given to members of the Council and the audience, showing the 1976 Community Develop— ment Projects. He noted that the target area consisted of a 700—acre tract within the City of Kent which is comprised of three low and moderate income residential neighborhoods, including Lower East Hill , North Park and South Fourth Avenue, and the Kent CenFral Business District , It was determined that the total population of the target area is arproximately 3,000 persons. Harris noted that the law covering the Housing and Community Development program was passed in 1974 and that the City of Kent is going with King County was determined to be an urban county. He stated that the main sums of money will be coming through King County and that Kent 's application for funds is made through King County. Mayor Hogan noted that the proposed projects as listed on the handout had been reviewed prior to this Council meeting. Lyn Johns noted that the tot lot proposal was an added item. Mayor Hogan opened the public hearing for additional submittals. Larry Vloodworth s'poke from the audience, noting that he represented the Kent Development Associ— ation, and had submitted a written request to have in— cluded in the proposed project the hiring of a coordin— ator for the CBD 'project . Ile stated that if more infor— mation is required, it will he supplied. There were no further comments and McCAUGHAN MOVED to close the hearing. Just seconded. Motion carried. KITTO MOVED that the City Council accept the input given tonight and refer this input to the Planning Department, Just seconded. Stormeni asked what was proposed for the old City Hall site. Johns noted that under the CBD plan that particular area is designated as an urban park. She indicated that this proposal included the first phase of improvements to the site consisting of improvement of the area with walkways, benches and a playground. She also indicated that the second phase would only be 'possible in the future if some access would be made to Meeker Street . She noted that the cost of the first phase work would amount to about $25,000 and that the improvements at the site have cost about $500. There were no further comments and no correspondence on the matter. Motion carried. METRO T.'WJSIT Citizen's Transit Advisory Committee. A letter was SERVICE read from C. Carey Donworth, Chairman, Metropolitan Council , noting that half of the membership on the Citizens Transit Advisory Committee expire in December and that nominations are now being solicited to fill these vacant positions.

TP-e office of the Division Engineer, Mil— SAFETY waukee Railroad, Tacoma, has reported to the City Administrator that the switch engine which was bothering people on Fifth and Sixth Avenues has been moved so that it will no longer be left running when not switching cars. This would eliminate any further action by the Council . Johnson noted that the Railroad had commented that these engines were never turned off .

Cr�OSSINGS Bacon, met with the Council at the worksession held October 14, 1975 and requested permission to extend a three—prong siding crossing of 80th avenue South between So. 192nd and So. 194th. IvY. Bacon October 20, !975 RAILROAD agreed to submit to the Council in writing that CROSSINGS whenever an engine was crossing 80th :`..venue a flag— man would be present to alert the automobile traffic. Ur. Bacon was asked to determine whether this siding could be extended to serve the property of Harold Hill . A report will be made at this Council meeting. li is recommended that the cross— ing of 80th -venue So. be approved. McCAUGHAN PAWED that approval of the crossing of 80th Ave. So. with a three—prong siding be approvea and with a right of way to extend up to the East Valley Highway to serve property east of the East Valley Highway if desired, Just seconded. Street noted that a letter had been received today from D. H. Burns, Burlington—Northern Superintendent . The City Clerk read the letter con— firming 10r. Bacon's statement that any time switching was being done over the proposed crossing and the engine was not the first piece of equipment to go over the crossing, the crossing would be protected by a member of the crew. Storment asked McCaughan if , by extending the right of way to the East Valley Highway, it was his inten— tion that they would not need to get another right of way to cross the East Valley Highway. McCaughan stated that this was so. Storment asked further, if they could then possibly cross the East Valley Highway, which is proposed to be five lanes at that area, with a non—signal crossing. Street said that this was not true. It was determined that Harold Hill had indicated that a spur track could..serve his property. Street clarified the City's intent for Mr. Rauscher as follows: if the Railroad is allowed to cross SOth Avenue South, they will retain an easement for this siding to extend to the west side of East Valley High— way, thereby assuring that Mr. Hill , or other property owners on the east side, will not be seeking a cross— ing. He explained further that any crossing of East Valley Highway would, of course, be a signalized crossing. Mr. Rauscher of the Burlington—Northern concurred with this. Motion carried.

October 20, 1975 STREETS Forward Thrust Monies. It was noted that in order to utilize any Forward Thrust monies on a particular street project , said project must be listed as an approved project under King County Resolution #34569. The first step for adding to said approved list requires a resolu- tion from the immediate governing body.

He explained that the call for bids for this contract was separated into three schedules, so that if there was not enough money to complete the entire paving project, portions of it could be selected to be completed within the limits of the actual money on hand, It was determined that some of the bidders submitted a lower price per unit for combined schedules A, B, & C, but that the total bid submitted by Associated V Sand & Gravel was the lowest bid. Upon questions from the Council , Street explained that the bid could not be awarded to the lowest bidder for each schedule as the lower unit prices were based or the bidder being awarded the bid for the entire three schedules. McCAUGHAN MOVED that the best bid of Associated Sand & Gravel be accepted, Masters seconded.
