meeting. Public Works Director Ulett and
Planning Director Harris noted that everything
was in order and they had both signed the plat.
The public hearing was opened by the Mayor.
There were no comments from the audience and
no correspondence. KITTO MOVED that the hear-
ing be closed, Carey seconded. Motion carried.
JUST MOVED that the Mayor and City Clerk be
authorized to sign the Westview Trace Final
Plat, Storment seconded. Motion carried.
ANNEXATIONS Gai. The 75% annexation petition for 13. 24
acres of the originally proposed 92 acres for
the Gai annexation has been verified and the
Public Works and Planning Committees have
recommended acceptance of same. JUST MOVED
to accept the revised area petition and for
a notice of intent to annex to be filed with
the Boundary Review Board. Storment seconded.
Henry Gai noted that on December 28 the Plan-
ning Commission considered zoning classifica-
tions for the proposed annexation, and had
recommended that the property on the west
side of Military Road be classified HC (High-
way Commercial) and that the property east of
the Military Road be classified R-1 (Single
Family Residential) . He objected to this
recommendation, stating that if the Council
intended to accept the Planning Commission' s
recommendation, then he might want to withdraw
the annexation proposal.
c
ANNEXATIONS Street explained that the action before the
Council was to accept the annexation petition,
and that the zoning of the area could not be
considered until the petition was accepted.
He noted that the Council would hold hearings
later at the proper time on both the annexation
and the proposed zoning of the annexation.
Harris explained that under the recommendation
of the Planning Department and Planning Commis-
sion, the Gai business would be a legal non-
conforming use, but that the business could not
be expanded as Mr. Gai planned. He opined that
there was no commercial zoning to fit Gai ' s
warehouse-type operation, nor that of the
adjoining business, the Glass Doctor. Harris
defined the Gai operation as a semi-industrial
type use. Mr. Gai opined that 250 of the busi-
ness was retail and that it was not a warehouse
use. Harris stated that there were approximately
7 square miles on the valley floor now zoned
for this type of operation.
It was determined that under county jurisdic-
tion the Gai business was now operating under
a special use permit, and would be allowed to
expand. Upon question, Ruth Gross stated that
she had circulated the annexation petition for
owners of property across from Gai ' s and she
determined that sewers were needed by the resi-
dents as well as by the businesses located
within the area.
Upon questions from the council , Harris opined
that this distribution center was a quasi-
industrial use and had no place in a neighbor-
hood residential area and further that commercial
zoning should not extend along Military Road
other than the node of Community Commercial at
the intersection.
It was determined that the council would have
a public hearing on the zoning for this parcel
at the proper time and was not prepared to make
any commitment to Mr. Gai now. Discussion was
had on tabling the motion for acceptance of the
annexation petition to allow Mr. Gai time to
consider whether he wants to withdraw the peti-
tion.
STORMENT MOVED to table the matter to the
February 7 council meeting, Kitto seconded.
Motion carried.
Hill. The time has now expired during which
the King County Boundary Review Board can
take jurisdiction over this proposed annexa-
tion and they have not done so. A public
hearing is scheduled for this meeting.
Planning Director Harris described the
proposed annexation area as being bounded
by East Valley Highway, the Valley Freeway,
S. 192nd Street and S. 180th Street. The
area consists of about 125 acres with a
1976 assessed value of $1, 003, 540 . It was
noted that included in the area are a bank,
a service station, and one single family
occupied dwelling.
ANNEXATIONS The public hearing was opened by the Mayor.
There were no comments from the audience and
no correspondence. MASTERS MOVED that the
hearing be closed, Carey seconded. Motion
carried.
The City Attorney introduced Ordinance No.
2010 annexing to the City certain lands
contiguous thereto and commonly referred
to as the Hill Annexation. JUST MOVED for
the adoption of Ordinance No. 2010 , Kitto
seconded. Motion carried.
ZONING Hill Annexation. On December 28 , 1976 , the
Planning Commission held a public hearing
to consider the initial zoning of the Hill
Annexation, which encompasses approximately
125 acres lying between the East Valley
Highway and the Valley Freeway south of S.
180th Street and north of S . 192nd Street.
The Planning Commission has recommended that
the area be zoned as follows:
The northern 600 feet of the subject
property be zoned HC, Highway Com-
mercial; the remainder be zoned M-2 ,
Limited Industrial , with the excep-
tion of a 150 ' wide buffer strip
along the western edge of the Valley
Freeway and a 50 ' wide strip along
Springbrook Creek, which would be
zoned RA, Residential Agricultural.
Harris noted that a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement had been furnished to the Council
and is on file with the City Clerk. He noted
that the Final Environmental Impact Statement
would be prepared in time for the second hear-
ing on the proposed zoning, scheduled for
February 22 , noting further that input is
expected from State agencies as well as the
City of Renton. Harris pointed out the reasons
for recommending the RA zoned strips on the
East and South sides of the property were
because of the Type VII and Type II wetlands
found within these areas.
Type VII Wetlands
"Wooded Swamps - the soil is water-
logged at least within a few inches
of its surface during the growing
season, and is often covered with as
much as one foot of water. "
Type II Wetlands
"Inland Fresh Meadows - the soil is
usually without standing water dur-
ing most of the growing season, but
is waterlogged within at least a few
inches of its surface. "
Harris noted that much of the property is
undeveloped, with a bank, service station and
one dwelling along S. 180th.
ZONING The public hearing was opened by the Mayor.
Mr. Hill noted that a considerable amount of
land was involved in the 150 ' strip and the
50 ' strip proposed to be zoned RA (approxi-
mately 10 - 11 acres) , with additional acre-
age at the juncture of the slough and S. 190th
and about 3 1/2 acres on the other side of
the Freeway, making a total of about 15 acres
for open space or wetlands. He stated that
he wished to go on record that while he did
not object to that amount of land being
designated as open space, he asked that some
consideration be given to a portion of the
open space area gforretained
areawithin
instead
development proposed
of all on the perimeter. He asked that the
Council give the Planning Department the
opportunity to work with him in this regard
when the property is being developed.
In response to Masters ' question, Harris
pointed out that it was proposed to create
more commercial area around the intersection.
He further noted that fill will be required
for any building in the area. He pointed
out for Masters that it was felt there was
some type of drainage coming under the free-
way which resulted in the high water table.
Masters further questioned whether it would
be appropriate to make any allowance for
open space within the proposed project and
Harris noted that this could be done with
proper planning of the area involved. He
further noted that the 150 ' strip and the
50 ' strip might not be that wide in some
areas , but pointed out that the wooded area
is directly adjacent to the freeway and pro-
vides a natural buffer zone. In response
to Just ' s question as to whether Kent has
Qualified for maintaining the necessary
amount of wetlands within the area, Street
noted that by utilization of the sewer
lagoons, which the City has agreed to
retain until they can be replaced with
other lands, the requirements are being
met. He noted that King County has not yet
come up with a method for financing the
acquisition of wetlands and consequently
nothing has been done regarding further
acquisition. He pointed out that the rail-
roads are willing to do some negotiating
with regard to wetland areas. Just opined
that this particular area sounds like an
area that could be designated as wetlands.
Hill suggested that the wetlands which are
to be acquired were to be open space, not
wooded areas . There were no further com-
ments and no correspondence. KITTO MOVED
that the hearing be continued until Tues-
day, February 22, 1977 , Masters seconded.
Motion carried.
REZONE
Ware. The Planning Commission held a public
hearing on December 28 , 1976 on an applica-
tion filed by John Ware for a rezone from
CC , Community Commercial, to HC, Highway
Commercial, on property located between
Military Road S . and Interstate Highway 5 ,
approximately 1, 000 feet north of the Kent-
Des Moines Road (23013 Military Road S. )
REZONE The Planning Commission recommended thatthe
rezone request be approved. Harris pointed
out the location on the map. The public
hearing was opened by the Mayor. There
were no comments from the audience and no
correspondence. KITTO MOVED that the hear-
ing be closed, Carey seconded. Motion
carried. KITTO MOVED that the recommenda-
tion of the Planning Commission be accepted
and the Attorney directed to prepare the
necessary ordinance. Just seconded. Motion
carried.
FEDERAL The Finance Committee has completed its
REVENUE study of proposed expenditures of Federal
SHARING Revenue Sharing funds for 1977 . Copies of
their report and recommendation have been
distributed to the Council and placed on
file with the City Clerk. Items approved
for 1977 total $261 , 600 . KITTO MOVED that
the priority list of proposed expenditures
of Federal Revenue Sharing funds be adopted
and made a part of the 1977 budget, Storment
seconded. Referring to item 14 , Public Pur-
pose Plans, in the amount of $50 , 000 , it was
determined by Winkle that there had been
some discussion as to whether this item
should come from Utilities but it had been
decided that it could be left in the Federal
Revenue Sharing priority list for use if
necessary. Storment pointed out that this
item had been reduced from $52 ,000 to $50 , 000 .
Motion carried.
ZONING CODE Sign Regulations. It was noted that at the
last work session a discussion was held on
the sign regulation portion of the Zoning
Code. The Planning Director will develop
some further guidelines and their effect
within a small area of the City for Council
consideration.
FINAL PLAT Parkside Final Plat. In accordance with the
recommendations of the Administration,
STORMENT MOVED that the public hearing on
the Parkside Final Plat be held on February
7 , 1977 , Just seconded. Motion carried.
CENSUS 1977 Census. The Planning Department, the
City Clerk and City Administrator have re-
viewed the possible value of taking an actual
census and believe that the methods used
last year for estimating are the most
practical . It is proposed to take a census
in 1978 , the mid-point between the last actual
Kent census and the Federal census year of
1980 . MASTERS MOVED that the Office of Pro-
gram Planning and Fiscal Management be noti-
fied that Kent will not take a census in
1977 , Carey seconded. Motion carried.
CLAIMS Glenn R. Crawford. The City Attorney has
recommended that the claim of Glenn R. Craw-
ford in the amount of $150 for alleged damage
to his property resulting from sewer over-
flow into the basement of his home be denied
for the reason that the City sewer was cleaned
within two days of the incident, and there
is no indication that the alleged damage was
the result of City negligence. STORMENT
MOVED that the claim of Glenn R. Crawford
be denied, Kitto seconded. Motion :carried.
Requests for Water Service. Three requests
WATER
for serving water to properties located out-
side of Kent were considered at the January
5, 1977 Public Works and Planning Committee
meeting. Two of the requests , that of David
Hemboldt and Dennis Winecker, involve unde-
veloped properties which abut the Kent City
boundary. The third request of Kenneth
Shannon is for an undeveloped property which
does not abut the City boundary. The Com-
mittee recommends that none of the three
requests be considered for approval until
after the Committee and Council have reviewed
and considered an amendment of present policy
for outside utility service. JUST MOVED that
no action be taken on the requests at this
time, Carey seconded. Motion carried.
POLICE & Ambulance Service. The Police Chief and
FIRE Fire Chief have recommended that for the
Council to receive the best information
concerning the possibility of contracting
for ambulance service when the City is
involved, the Council should review this
proposal with both ambulance operations at
a work session. STORMENT MOVED that the
Administrator arrange for the review of
the proposed ambulance contract service
at a work session, Masters seconded.
Storment questioned whether the City had
an ordinance to cover entering into a
contract for such service. Mirk noted
that an ordinance would have to be adopted
encompassing the State standards. He noted
that the State has adopted regulations but
has no means of enforcing them. He stated
that the City would be in a better position
to enforce the necessary standards and
could make their own inspections. Motion
carried.
KENT COMMONS Referendum 29 Funding. It was noted that
at the last work session Mr. Leonard of
the Department of Social and Health Ser-
vices had reviewed the Referendum 29
funding of Phase 1A, Kent Commons . The
State Department is attempting to make
the reporting procedure very simple. Mr.
Leonard also suggested a method of divid-
ing costs between Phase lA and 1B.
SATURDAY Parking Lot Use. At the last work session
MARKET a letter was read to the Council from Pat
Curran, President of the Kent Saturday
Market, relative to using the parking lot
immediately east of the City Hall for the
1977 Saturday Market functions . Since the
lot belongs in joint ownership to the King
County Library and Kent Library, it was
suggested that the letter be forwarded to
the Kent Library Board. JUST SO MOVED,
Carey seconded. Motion carried.
PERSONNEL Awards. Mayor Hogan presented Washington
Association of Wastewater Collection Personnel
certificates designating Bob Kristofferson,
Sewer Department Superintendent, as Specialist
II , and Alex Senecaut, Jr. of the Sewer
Department as Specialist I . Ulett noted
that the certificates were presented for
completion of study and examination within
their professional field.
PARKS & Russell Road Park. A matching funds develop-
RECREATION ment project has been proposed for Phase 2 of
Russell Road Park. King County has allocated
$100 , 000 toward the project, anticipating that
Kent will contribute $150 ,000 toward the local
share for a total of $250 ,000 . A 75% matching
fund grant will be applied for in 1977 . The
Parks Department anticipates spending $10 , 000
of the $150 , 000 allocated funds for planning
prior to the application to IAC. All monies
spent for planning are applied as local share
costs if the project is approved.
MASTERS MOVED that the Parks Department be
authorized to make proper application to IAC
for a 75% matching funds grant for Phase 2 of
Russell Road Park, and that $150 ,000 be allo-
cated as the City of Kent' s share of the pro-
ject, Kitto seconded. CAREY MOVED TO AMEND
THE MOTION to use the $55, 000 of Forward Thrust
Bond Issue money now in the Parks Department
budget for this purpose, along with $95 , 000
of grant matching funds. Storment seconded.
In response to Just' s question, Street noted
that $55,000 of Forward Thrust funds is avail-
able and may only be used for park acquisition
and development. Storment explained that
Carey' s proposal for use of this $55 ,000
would free some of the grant matching funds
to be used for some other projects. Masters
determined that the Committee had discussed
this proposal and felt that this was a good
place to use these Forward Thrust funds .
Wilson noted that he had not anticipated
spending the $55 , 000 on the Russell Road
Park project. He noted that this was the last
of the Forward Thrust monies available and it
was hoped that the money could be held aside
so that if a superior project was found that
money would be available for such purposes.
He noted that he had hoped the City' s share
for the Russell Road Park could come from
Federal Revenue Sharing funds. Street pointed
out the Federal Revenue Sharing funds could
not be used for matching funds. Upon Kitto' s
question, Masters opined that the question of
the use of Forward Thrust money seemed to lie
in a difference of opinion between the Council
Committee and the Parks Director. Street
determined for Kitto that approximately
$179 , 000 was available in grant matching
funds , and since it had been decided that
some projects could be financed in 1978 , the
$150 ,000 could be used for the Russell Road
Park project. In response to Just ' s question,
Masters suggested that use of the $55 , 000
from Forward Thrust monies now would probably
buy more at this time than it would for some
other project at a future date, and using it for
the Russell Road Park project would mean using
it in a lump sum instead of breaking it up
into small amounts for more than one project.
Carey' s proposed amendment carried, with Just
and Kitto voting nay. The motion as amended
carried unanimously.
PARKS & Joint Recreation Programs - King County. A
RECREATION contract has been received from King County
for continued joint recreation programs in
the Kent community. King County agrees to
pay the City of Kent $20 ,000 during the year
1977 and the City of Kent agrees to provide
recreational programs for rural areas of the
Kent School District. The contract was
reviewed by the Board of Park Commissioners
and Park Committee on January 12 , 1977 , and
acceptance of the contract recommended.
Accordingly, MASTERS MOVED that the Mayor
and City Clerk be authorized to sign the
contract, Kitto seconded. It was determined
for Just that the $20 , 000 figure is the same
as it has been for the past years. Storment
commented that in his opinion the amount was
about $80 ,000 less than it should be. Motion
carried.
Bids. Two bids were received on January 10 ,
1977 for the renovation and upgrading of Kent
area Kiwanis tot lots , as follows:
Vanco Recreation, $27 , 821. 85; and
Westerra, Inc. , $34 ,033 . 66 ,
both bids including tax and without alternates .
It is the recommendation of the Parks Depart-
ment and the Parks Committee that the low base
bid of $27 , 821 . 85 be accepted, and that $8 , 000
of the $35, 000 Revenue Sharing monies set aside
for lighting of Ballfield #2 at Kent Memorial
Park be reallocated and combined with the pro-
ject budget of $20, 000 in Community Development
Block Grant monies for the tot lot renovation
and upgrading. The utilization of present
light standards on Field #1 and #3 at Kent
Memorial Park, plus trenching work to be done
by Parks Department personnel , resulted in a
lower bid than anticipated on the field light-
ing project. Accordingly, CAREY MOVED that
$8, 000 of the $35, 000 Federal Revenue Sharing
funds allocated for Kent Memorial Park light-
ing be rebudgeted for tot lot improvement,
Masters seconded. Motion carried. CAREY
MOVED, Masters seconded, that the low base
bid of Vanco Recreation, Inc. of $27, 821. 85,
including tax, be accepted for the tot lot
renovation and upgrading. In response to
Kitto' s query, Street noted that it was not
anticipated that there would be any problem
with using Federal Revenue Sharing funds with
Community Development Block Grant funds.
Masters clarified that the $8 , 000 would be
used as needed for each of the 4 lots involved.
Wilson noted that these tot lots were located
at 2nd and Cloudy, 5th and Crow, 1st and Crow,
and on Alexander Avenue. Motion carried.
HEALTH & Kent Highlands Leachate Facilities. A letter
SANITATION was read from Seattle Mayor Wes Uhlman, giving
a progress report on Seattle' s proposed leach-
ate collection and sewer facilities. He
noted that the review of the proposed agree-
ment between the two cities has been completed
for the construction of the facilities and a
draft agreement will be submitted shortly.
HEALTH &
The letter also referred to the project
SANITATION schedule , which calls for submitting the
Federal grant package to the Environmental
Protection Agency in late March, and plans
for necessary rights of way and property acquisition. Referring to the odor problem,
the letter noted that an environmental con-
sulting firm, Alsid, Snowden & Associates ,
has been contacted regarding analysis of the
air in and around the landfill in an effort
to identify and abate the contaminants caus-
ing the odor problems. In addition, the
consulting firm of Construction Aids Tech-
nology, Inc. , Mercer Island, is continuing
i
to test the leachate. The letter pointed
out that the project has number one priority
in the Seattle Engineering Department and
work is progressing on schedule.
MASTERS MOVED that the letter be made a part
of the record, Carey seconded. Mayor Hogan
noted that copies of the letter had been for-
warded to the City Attorney, Ted Mallory of
Metro, the Kent News Journal , and Mr. Morris ,
representative of a group of residents on the
West Hill who had recently contacted the City
regarding the odor problem. Mayor Hogan noted
that Seattle will hold another public hearing
on the leachate interceptor in the Kent Coun-
cil Chambers on January 26 at 7 : 30 p.
m. Upon
Masters ' question, Street explained that
Seattle will work with Kent in acquiring
the rights of way which will be in areas
most advantageous to Kent. He noted that
Kent' s sewer and water lines must be placed
in areas accessible for maintenance.
Motion carried.
102nd Ave. S .E. Storm Sewer. Jim Bailey
Construction . has completed the storm
sewer in 102nd Avenue S .E . (S .E. 239th
Street to S.E. 236th Street) . In accord-
ance with the recommendation of the Engi-
neering Department, STORMENT MOVED that
the Jim Bailey Construction Company con-
tract for the 102nd Avenue S .E . Storm Sewer
be accepted as complete and that the retain-
age be paid after receipt of the necessary
releases from the State, Carey seconded.
Motion carried.
STREETS LID 281 - 104th Ave. S.E. Street Improvement.
The public hearing on the preliminary assess-
ment roll for LID 281 , the street improvement
project of 104th Avenue S.E. from S.E. 252nd
to S .E . 260th Street is scheduled for this
meeting. Public Works Director Ulett pointed
out the location and described the improvement
as the construction and installation of
asphaltic concrete surface on 104th Avenue
S .E . to provide four through traffic lanes
with a fifth lane to provide a two-way
left-turn lane and channelization, together
with the construction and installation of
curbs and gutters, sidewalks , storm drains ,
illumination and underground power. Ulett
noted that the major portion of the project
would be covered by funds received through
a UAB grant, with additional funding to be
borne 1/2 by the City and 1/2 by the Local
Improvement District. He noted that the
cost to property owners would be slightly
less than 7 cents per square foot and that
written notice of the hearing had been sent
to all property owners who would be affected.
STREETS The public hearing was opened by the Mayor.
There were no comments from the audience and
no correspondence. City Administrator Street
explained the method of financing the project,
noting that it would be done by the issuance
of LID bonds after the completion of the
pro-
ject. JUST MOVED that the hearing
be Storment seconded. Motion carried. KITTO
MOVED that the City Attorney be directed to
prepare an ordinance creating LID 281, Just
seconded. Motion carried.
A letter was received from Dr. George Daniel ,
Superintendent, Kent Public Schools, noting
the proposed improvement of 104th S .E. by
the City and urging the City to consider
installation of a left-turn signal for the
East-West juncture where 104th meets Kent-
Kangley. STORMENT MOVED that receipt of the
letter be noted and referred to the Public
Works Committee, Just seconded. It was noted
that at the present time the installation of
the left turn signal is scheduled for 1978
with the use of FAM funds and a local share.
The Traffic Engineer has been directed to
develop the plans for this signal so that
installation may be possible in late 1977 near
the completion date of the widening of 104th
S.E. This work is necessary before the
left-turn light will have its proper effect.
Motion carried.
Smith Street Improvement. The Public Works
Committee has reviewed the request for Change
Order #2 of Pacific Paving Co. , Inc. , for
the Smith Street project, in the amount of
$3 , 130 for work related to the removal of
unforeseen abandoned pipe and the saw cutting
of sidewalks, and has recommended approval
thereof. JUST MOVED that Change Order #2
in the amount of $3 , 130 for Pacific Paving
Co. , Inc . be approved, Carey seconded. In
response to Masters' question, Ulett noted
that the contract still has several months
to run on completion of the street improve-
ment but it was possible that the paving
would begin on the portion west of Central
this week. Motion carried.
Gowe Street. Storment questioned when the
barricades would be removed from Gowe Street
and Street noted that all that is needed is
an additional coat of asphalt and the street
will be completed.
TRAFFIC Masters noted that there seemed to be a
traffic problem at the intersection by Sequoia
Junior High on the Black Diamond Road and
questioned what the City' s responsibility
was relative to a traffic signal. Harris
noted that the area is within the City limits
of Kent. It was determined that the road
is a State Highway; therefore, the City
would be responsible for minor maintenance
and for signalization. Masters noted that
apparently the traffic was so heavy in the
school area that traffic was blocked by cars
discharging children. Street noted that
the Traffic Engineer would be consulted
regarding possible solutions.

a small room at the City Maintenance Shop
to the State of Washington for housing
electrical inspectors expires February 28 ,
1977 . The rental is $75 per month and is

In accordance with the recommendation of
administration, STORMENT MOVED that the
Mayor be authorized to sign the above des-
cribed lease at the same rental, Carey
seconded. Motion carried.
