On June 22, 1976 the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the application filed by Dougl@s Ellis, Willo Vista Mobile Home Park, for a rezone from CM, Commercial Manufacturing, to w—M, Medium Density Multi—Family Resi— dential zoning. The sub iect property is located immediately north of the Willo Vista Mobile Home Park (21740 — 84th Avenue S. ) , and consists of 1 .25 acres. The Planning Commission has recommended that the rezone application be approved. Planning Director Harris pointed out the location of the pro— posed rezone, noting that the area was now zoned C—M but had never developed as such. He noted that the Planning Commission had recommended approval of the rezone so the existing mobile home park could be extended. RE7.0NE On Storment 's question, Harris noted that there was no set rule for determining when more than one access to a mobile home park was necessary, but that it appeared that one entry would suffice for this park even with the proposed expansion. The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. There were no comments from the audience and no correspondence. KITTO MOVED that the hearing be closed, Johnson seconded. Motion carried. McCAUGHAN MOVED that the Attorney be directed to prepare an ordinance approving the rezone, Carey seconded. Motion carried. COMBINING Willo Vista Mobile Home Park. On June 22, DISTRICT 1976 the Planning Commission held a public hearing on anapplication filed by Douglas Ellis, Willo Vista Mobile Home Park, for a Mobile Home Park Combining District to allow expansion of the Willo Vista Park on a 1 .25 acre site located immediately north of the Willo Vista Mobile Home Park (21740 - 84th Avenue S. ) . The Planning Commission has recommended that the com- bining district application be approved with the following conditions: 1 ) A storm drainage plan be submitted and approved prior to proceeding with the facility. 2) The applicant comply with Ordinance 1593 as amended. (Fire Hydrant Ordinance) Harris noted that there seems to be a storm drainage problem in some portions of t,,e lot . He further determined that there seems to be some problem with the drinking water supply for the park as evidenced by two letters which were delivered to him today. The letters were read into the record. One was a copy of a letter addressed to W. Ellis, operator of the mobile home park, from the Seattle-King County Department of Health, and the other to Lyn Johns of the Planning Department from the same organization. The letter to Mr. Ellis noted that chemical analysis of the water indicated it did not meet State Board of Health regulations and Mr. Ellis was ordered to comply with such regulations by not later than August 27, 1976. The Depart- ment of Health noted that if adequate treat- ment of the water was not possible, connec- tion to City of Kent water should be considered. The letter to the Planning Department indicated that no extension of the mobile home park's present water system would be approved until such time as require- ments of the State Board of Health had been met . Harris stated that the Planning Com- mission was not aware of the problem with the drinking water when its recommendations were made. Harris suggested that if the Council wishes to take further action on the combining district request, an addi- tional requirement could be added to indi- cate that nothing could be done until the Health Department standards had been met regarding the water supply. COMBINING The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. DISTRICT There was no further correspondence and no comments from the audience. McCAUGHAN MOVED to close the public hearing, Kitto seconded. Motion carried. It was determined that the Health Department would not allow the proposed extension of the mobile home park until its requirements had been met regardless of any Council action at this meeting. In response to McCaughan's question, Ulett noted that the requirements for connection to the City water supply and connection to City sewer were not the same, but that the Plumbing Code specified that every plumbing connection shall be connected to a potable water system. He further noted that the City would withhold building and plumbing permits for the addi- tion to the mobile home park until approval of their water supply was received from the Department of Health. Masters noted that she had attended the Planning Commission hearing and had seen a sample of the drink- ing water which was brought in and questioned if there was some requirement which could force the mobile home park to furnish potable water to those people now living in the existing park. Harris noted that the Health Department will require that this be done. In response to Just 's ques- tion, Mirk noted that the Health Department is in charge of water quality and their letter indicates that they will not approve the proposed extension until the matter of the existing water problem is resolved. JUST MOVED that the Attorney be directed to prepare an ordinance approving the com- bining district with the conditions as pre- sented by the Planning Commission plus the condition set by the Health Department regarding the water supply, Kitto seconded. Motion carried. PRELIMINARY Green Valley Heights„ #6 eplat. It was noted PLAT that the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the preliminary plat of Green Valley Heights #6 R eplat on June 22, and has recommended denial . A public meeting is scheduled tonight, at which time the Council may either accept the Planning Commission's recommendation, or set a date for a public hearing before the Council . Harris described the location of the proposed replat as the northwest corner of the inter- section of S. 253rd and the Reith Road. He noted that the Planning staff had recommended that the replat be approved with certain con- ditions, but that the Planning Commission had recommended denial . The public meeting was declared open by the Mayor. Steve Helger- son of 25128 - 43rd Avenue S. noted that page 2 of the Planning Department staff report stated in part : ". . .slopes are generally unstable in steep cuts. . . " ". . .an old land- slide deposit which is apparently now stable . . . .but may become unstable due to construc- tion activities. " ". . . the western portion includes moderate and severe slippage poten- tial. Erosion hazard is severe to very severe. " ". . .and on the eastern portion the erosion hazard is moderate." Helgerson com- mented that these conditions justified the denial of the proposal by the Planning Commission. PRELIMINARY Mrs. Henry Kerr who lives just above the PLAT proposed plat stated that there is a steep cliff at the end of their lot, and that the planning staff report should be reviewed. She expressed concern that a builder might not take the necessary precautions to retain the bank. Mr. Kerr stated that the mortgage company had stated that an easement through lot 4 would be necessary to get to lots 5 and 6 because the land was so steep, and noted that the Commission minutes refer to a 450 slope. He pointed out that if the land was sold, the developer would have to be advised of the condition of the bank. He further stated that it is not fill dirt which is sloughing; it is actually the bank. Upon Masters' question, Mirk clarified that the developer would not have to go through this replatting process, because once the plat has been approved and recorded, lots can be sold. He noted that if this occurred, the City would be sure when issuing building permits that the plans complied with the Building Code. He noted that Ulett had opined that the problems with the hillside slopes could be handled under the Building Code just as well as under a plat. He pointed oul that he thought that after the Planning Commission hearina that the owner would just sell the lots and not be concerned with the replat. Upon McCaughan's questions, Mirk determined that the original plat had 15 lots, and that some had been condemned for the Reith Road project, and that these six lots were what remained of the original plat. He noted further that the Reith Road project had dis- turhed the slope to the East but that the slope on the west was the natural contour. Mirk further clarified that if the owner decided to co ahead with the replat, they would be subject to the Hillside Subdivision requirements of the new Subdivision Code, but if they abandon the replat and sell the lots they would be subject to the grading requirements of the Building Code. McCaughan concluded then that the property of the residents in the area would be in no greater danger either way. Mirk concurred. JOHNSON stated that time was needed for addi- tional study of the matter and MOVED to table to the next workshop meeting, Masters seconded, and pointed out that the matter could be set for public hearing for August 2 and still discussed first at the July 26 workshop. Upon a roll call vote, the motion to table failed, with only Johnson, Kitto and Masters voting in favor. JUST MOVED to set a public hearing on the matter for August 2 and for the matter to be brought to the July 26 work session for discussion. Stor- ment seconded. Motion carried. Viestview Trace. On June 22, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the West- view Trace Preliminary Plat and recommended approval with the following conditions: PRELIMINARY A. Public Works Department Conditions PLAT 1 ) Dedicate 15 feet on the west side of 98th Avenue S. to provide 30 feet on the west side of the street center- line. This dedication is shown on the preliminary plat submitted by the applicant on May 18, 1976. 2) Provide a 25 foot radius at all lot corners at intersections of public rights-of-way. 3) Prohibit vehicular access to James Street from abutting lots, except for the presently existing dwelling on Lot 9. 4) Improve the streets within the plat to a minimum curb to curb width of 28 feet by paving with asphaltic con- crete and installing concrete curbs and gutters. 5)� Improve the half of 98th Avenue S. abutting the plat by installing con- crete curb and gutter 16 feet west of the centerline and by paving with asphaltic concrete. 6) Construction water mains and sanitary sewer lines to serve all lots. 7) Construct a storm drainage system to carry drainage into the existing storm drains on East James Street. Deten- tion is not required. 8) Provide street lighting to residential standards. 9) Prior to submitting a final plat : a) Prepare complete street, sewer, water and drainage plans. b) Obtain Kent Engineering Department approval of the plans and that of other agencies from whom approval is required, a.id, c) Complete the construction or fur- nish an approved improvement bond. B. Soil Conservation Service Conditions 1 ) Install streets, utilities and storm drains prior to construction. 2) Design and management of surface drain- age systems should be planned prior to construction and implemented according to that plan. All water should be con- veyed to a safe, non-erosive outlet. 3) Design and management of sub-surface drainage system should be planned prior to construction and implemented according to that plan. All water should be conveyed to a safe, non- erosive outlet. 4) Avoid soil disturbance during rainy season. y PRELIMINARY 5) Avoid over—the—slope dumping of soil , PLAT vegetative waste or debris. 6) Denuded ground should be protected as soon as construction allows, but not later than October I . 7) All road designs should utilize avail— able soils information. C. Sidewalks, a minimum of 5 feet in width, be installed along 98th Avenue S. and one side of each cul—de—sac. D. The requirements for "Hillside Subdivi— sions" he complied with for appropriate sites. E. Each lot to retain the native vegetation except for the actual site of the dwell— ing to be placed on the lot. The Council on July 6, 1976 set this date for a public meeting on this preliminary plat . Harris pointed out the location of the pro— posed plat, at the northwest corner of S. 240th Street (James) and 98th Ave. S. (Strawberry Lane) . Harris further stated that the site in question contains 7 acres to be subdivided into 29 lots and the property is zoned R1 .7.2, Single Family tZesidential with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet. He pointed out that there was only one lot with access to James Street, and that two cul—de- sacs served the remaining lots, one from James Street and one from 98th Ave. So. The Mayor declared the public meeting open. William Barr, of Subdivision Management , representiryj the developer, Chief Construc— tion Company, noted his client had studied the list of conditions and had no objections except to Paragraph C requiring sidewalks along 98th Ave. So. and one side of each cul—de—sac. He questioned the need for sidewalks along the cul—de—sacs only. He stated there was no provision in the Subdivision Code requiring that sidewalks be put in cul—de—sacs and that the developer would like to have this condition stricken. Harris determined that the reason for this recommendation was that the proposed plat is in the vicinity of a school and will naturally attract people with children. Harris noted for Storment that there were no sidewalks on the east side of 98th. McCaughan questioned whether the require— ment for sidewalks will be common in sub— divisions such as this. Harris pointed out that the Planning Department has been advocating sidewalks in subdivisions as it is felt that the need for sidewalks exists in all areas. McCaughan questioned whether this requirement should be made a part of the Subdivision Code and Harris opined that it probably should be as the problem always arises in developments such as this. Street noted that this involves a continuation of a sidewalk plan and would be an extension of an existing sidewalk system. He opined- PRELIMINARY that when it is possible to connect to PLAT an existing sidewalk system it should be done. Johnson spoke in favor of side- walks. Storment questioned whether an easement exists on the west side of 98th for the widening of the street. Ulett determined that there was additional right-of-way on the west side. He fur- ther determined for Street that there may only be a 40' right-of-way now but there was room for a 60' right-of-way. MASTERS MOVED that the meeting be closed, and that the Westview Trace Preliminary Plat as recommended by the Planning Com- mission and including the conditions be approved, Johnson seconded. Motion carried. STREET Green Valley Heights #6 Plat. The City VACATION Attorney noted that in conjunction with the building of k eith load the City had agreed to vacate a small cu !-de-sac and some land in exchange for right-of-way in Green Valley Heights #6 Plat and it is necessary to hold a public hearing on the ordinance vacating any public right- of-way. The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. Mirk noted that the area was to be vacated regardless of what action is taken concerning the proposed replat of Green Valley Heights #6. There was no correspondence and no com- ments from the audience. JUST MOVED that the hearing be closed, Storment seconded. Motion carried. The City Attorney introduced Ordinance No. 1976 vacating portions of streets in Green Valley Heights #6 Plat, STORMENT MOVED for the adoption of Ordinance No. 1976, McCaughan seconded. Motion carried. WATER Request for Water Service. A letter was read from Lester P. Scherich, Sales Associ- ate, Bell-Anderson deal Estate, requesting that water service be extended approximately 350 feet to the east on S.E. 256th Street to service three new homes to be built west of 12232 S. E. 256th St. JUST MOVED that the letter be accepted and referred to Public Works, Storment seconded. Motion carried. HEALTH A-New Jersey (Swine) Influenza Immunization. SERVICES A letter was read from Jo McNeil , District Health Administrator, Seattle-Kinn County Department of Public Health, noting that the Department will provide City and County employees with an opportunity to be immunized against A-New Jersey (Swine) influenze dur- ing September/October. The letter asked that the City select a coordinating person who could be contacted for specific informa- tion and indicated that a $ 1 .00 donation per person would be asked. JUST MOVED that the letter be accepted and referred to the personnel office, McCaughan seconded. On Storment 's question, it was determined that individual participation was not man- datory. Motion carried. PERSONNEL Mayor. It was noted that at the last work session a discussion was held concerning the proposed payment to the Mayor for the necessary area meetings she attends, other than Metro. It was reported that she averaged six meetings a month and that the stipend could be $25 per meeting. It was suggested that an annual maximum of 72 meetings be considered. One councilperson suggested that the salary be changed rather than pay for such meetings, since meeting payments would not be taxable. It was deter- mined that all payments for attendance or time is taxable, both for social security and income tax. The City Attorney introduced Ordinance No. 1977 relating to the salary and position of the Mayor and repealing Ordinances 1605 and 1698. KITTO MOVED that Ordinance 1977 be adopted, Just seconded. In response to Storment 's question, Mirk stated that workshop discussion had set April I , 1976 as the date to start allowing $25 per meeting. It was determined that April I was the effective date used for other salary adjustments and that the number of meetings for 1976 would be adjusted to the April I effective date. Street explained that the last change in the salary for the Mayor was part of the 1975 budget ordinance and that Ordinance 1977 proposed now clari- fied this as $700 per month since January, 1975. Storment questioned whether compensa- tion for meetings would include mileage. Street noted that the Mayor can use a City car if one was available, but would be paid standard mileage for use of her own car, the same as any other employee. He pointed out that the City car used by the Mayor is also used by other City personnel . Storment asked if the compensation would be paid to a person attending a meeting in place of the Mayor. Mirk stated that under the terms of the ordinance only the Mayor would receive such compensation. Upon Masters' question as to whether this compensation was considered per diem expense, Street introduced a letter from Carl A. Johan- sen, Clerk of the Metro Council . The letter was read into the record, noting that Council- member compensation from the Metro Council was considered taxable earnings under social security and would be taxed accordingly. Masters asked why the salary of the Mayor was not raised instead of allowing this $25.00 per meeting adjustment. It was noted that the matter had been discussed by the Finance Committee and it had been suggested that compensation be made on the basis of attendance at meetings. Masters noted that there was no description of the Mayor 's duties available showing what was covered under the monthly salary. She stated further, in clarification of her "no" vote, that she felt that because the Mayor had chosen to have this position become officially a part-time position, she did not feel the taxpayers should be burdened with paying an increased amount for attendance at meetings, especially since some citizens earn less than this amount on a full-time basis. PERSONNEL STORMENT MOVED to amend the ordinance to make the effective date August I , 1976. MOTION FAILED for lack of a second. McCaughan clarified that all monies paid for attendance at meetings would be taxed. A roll call vote was taken in reverse order at Masters' request. Motion carried, with Storment, Masters and Johnson voting nay.

He stated that it was determined that this request should be held in abeyance. Masters ques- tioned this decision, stating that she felt that by not replacing the racility as soon as possible we were breaking faith with the people involved. Kitto stated that it was felt that perhaps the Kent Commons facility should be the replacement and noted that some federal revenue sharinq was being left in reserve, and also that monies from the sale of the existina facility on East Hill would be held in reserve. He pointed out that a building suggested as a replacement would cost approximately $200,000 to purchase and for remodeling. Masters opined that some of the priorities which were set regarding the federal revenue sharing funds were inap- propriate and felt that the money should be used for betterment of the community, and not to balance the budget. Street clarified for Storment that the additional $ 12,000 for the fire tower completion was due to the increased cost of the structure over and above the $50,000 originally set aside. FEDERAL MCCAUGHAN MOVED that the report and recommenda— REVENUE Lion of the Finance Committee be adopted for SHARING Federal Revenue Sharing projects for the bal— ance of 1976, Carey seconded. Motion carried, with Masters voting nay. GAMBLING The City Attorney introduced Or_i_na.n.ce ,,No. 1978 which will allow punch boards, pulltabs, and card rooms within the City and providing for a tax on each. The ordinance amends Sec. I and repeals Section 2 of Ordinance No. 1888. STORMENT MOVED for the adoption of Ordinance No. 1978, Kitto seconded. Motion carried unanimously. PARKS & Linda Heights Park. JOHNSON MOVED that since RECREATION it has been determined that the Linda Heights Park Project bids exceeded the Engineer-`-s estimate and that by utilizing City force account work, the project can be constructed within that estimate, the Kent Parks and Street Departments are authorized to con— struct the project by force account, McCaughan seconded. It was noted that the work would beqin in early Fall with comple— tion in the Spring of 1977, and that a minor amount of assistance of non—City employees may be required to install the playground equipment most economically. Motion carried. HEALTH & Sewer Facilities Plan Grant. The U.S. SANITATION Environmental Protection Agency has offered a $28, 125 grant (75% of the $37,500 esti— mated project cost) to assist in the plan preparation of the Sewer Facilities Plan. A previous $5,625 ( 15a) has been offered by the 'Nashington State Department of Ecology and was accepted by the Council on May 3, 1976. KITTO MOVED that the Mayor be authorized to sign the grant acceptance, Storment seconded. Motion carried. LID 278. A public hearing is scheduled on the final roll of LID 278 for the Wigton Sanitary Sewer. Public Works Director Ulett noted that the original cost for the sewer was estimated at $ 127,000 and the actual cost was $94,536.88. He noted that one lot in the area was not assessed because the owner had already installed his own pump and already had service. He also noted that one other lot could not be served on the lower portion with gravity service, and they were given $ 1,000 credit because a pump would be necessary for the lower level . Ulett further reported that the method used for assessment was lot area and that the final cost was approxi— mately 281 per square foot with a $200 charge for side sewers. The public hear— ing was opened by the Mayor. There were no comments from the audience and no corres— pondence. KITTO MOVED that the hearinq be closed, Carey seconded. Motion carried. STORMENT MOVED for the Ci + y Attorney +o prepare the necessary ordinance confirming the final assessment roll for LID 278, Masters seconded. Motion carried. Extension of Sewer Service — Mayer Homes and HEALTH & ._ _ _ _..De_ _ _ SANITATION Plemmons' velopment. It was noted that a the jujy g 1976 meeting of the King County Boundary Review Board, they had adopted reso— lutions to deny the City's proposals to extend sewer service to the Benson East (Mayer Homes) development and to the Plemmons' development , by a vote of 4 to 2. The City Attorney notes that a majority of the members of the Board did not concur in passing the resolutions and that therefore our proposals are not denied. Jerald W. Brannon — 22324 — 100th Ave. S-.E. A letter from Mr. Brannon was distributed to the Council with the agenda. Mr. Brannon has objected to the $ 1300 charge in lieu of assessment for his connection to a Kent sewer line outside the City. He has referred to a 1972 ordinance which does not apply to this situation. Administration has advised that Mr. Brannon lives outside of the City, that he had been in great need of a sewer connec— tion and that the City had permitted him to connect and to make payments over a period of time rather than by lump sum, It is recommended that the Council authorize the City Attorney to 1 ) initiate suit to collect the full amount; or 2) direct the Sewer Department to disconnect the sewer and refund the money which Mr. Brannon has already paid. Upon questions, it was deter— mined that Mr. Brannon had signed a contract with the City based on the estimated cost of the project. Ulett noted that the char— ges are the same for sewer lines and service whether inside or outside the City limits, Mirk explained that Brannon required the connection before the costs of the sewer project were known, and the agreement was therefore based on an estimate. The final cost to Mr. Brannon was $ 193 more than the amount estimated and this is the basis of his objection. Mirk stated that he approved the recommendation that Mr. Brannon either pay the full amount of the charge or that he be immediately disconnected. McCAUGHAN MOVED that the attorney be directed to institute the necessary action to collect the proper payment in lieu of assessment, Carey seconded. Notion carried. Proposed LID 260 — H_ughes—Ulleland San ita—y Sewer,�lt was noted that the resolution of intent to form LID 280 has not as yet been completed. STREETS Central Avenue Overlay. Three bids were received on the Central Avenue Overlay pro— ject on July 9, 1976 as follows: HiLine Asphalt Paving Co. $ 15,258. 16 Lakeside Industries 16,062.50 Associated Sand & Gravel 18,436.30 Upon the recommendation of the Engineering Denartment, McCAUGHAN MOVED that Hi—Line Asphalt Paving Co. be awarded the contract for the Central Avenue Overlay on the best bid of $ 15,258. 16, Johnson seconded. Olson determined for Storment that the contract covered Central Avenue from Smith to James. Motion carried. ANNEXATIONS Water District #58. Ulett reported that he had had no contact with the engineer from Water District #58 as of this date, but it appeared that there was no conflict with any area that Kent intends to serve and that perhaps the area proposed to be served by Water District #58 should be enlarged. He noted that he would so notify the King County Boundary review Board. ANNEXATIONS Roberts—Williams Annexation. JOHNSON MOVED & ZONING OF that the public hearing on the Roberts— ANNEXATIONS Williams annexation be held August 2, 1976, Carey seconded.

HOUSING & Guidelines for 1975 and 1976 Housing _- COMMUNITY Rehabslttation Program, At the last DEVELOPMENT work session a revised guideline for the 1975 and 1976 Housing Rehabilitation Assistance Program was presented for Council consideration, at which time the Council was furnished with a copy of these guidelines. KITTO MOVED that the Program Guidelines for the Revised 1975 and 1976 Housing kehabilitation Program be adopted as presented, Johnson seconded. Mayor Hogan noted that these guidelines differ slightly from those King County is going to adopt. Motion carried. JOHNSON MOVED for the adoption of resolution No. 810 establishing revisions in the 1975 and 1976 Housing iiehabilitation Assistance Program under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and adopting program guidelines. Carey seconded. Motion carried. PUGET SOUND It was noted that at the last work session COUNCIL OF Mayor Hogan presented the Memorandum of GOVERNMENTS Understanding which has been developed concerning the Puget Sound Council of Governments. Since this memorandum acknow— ledges that further refinement is necessary, the City Administrator recommended that the Mayor be authorized to send a letter endors— ing the principles of the Memorandum of Understanding.
