Approval has been received from the Boundary Review Board of the proposed Williamson annexation. The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. Planning Director Harris pointed out the location of the proposed annexation, noting that it was comprised of 14.5 acres lying south of S. 240th Street, east of 100th Avenue S.E. There were no comments from the audience and no correspon- dence. KITTO MOVED that the hearing be closed, Just seconded. Motion carried. JOHNSON MOVED that the City Attorney be directed to prepare an ordinance approving the Williamson annexation, Carey seconded. Motion carried. (GAI) Gai. It was noted that the Boundary Review Board has not notified the City as yet of its action on the proposed Gai Annexation but in order to prevent further delay, the Council public hearing is scheduled for this meeting. The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. Harris pointed out the location of the proposed annexation of 13.24 acres lying along both sides of Military Road S. (36th Avenue S.) beginning approximately 1,400 feet north of the Kent-Des Moines Road and continuing further north to the 22900 block of Military Road S. There were no comments and no correspondence has been received. McCAUGHAN MOVED that the hearing be closed, Carey seconded. Motion carried. MASTERS MOVED that the City Attorney prepare an ordinance approving the annexation upon receipt of Boundary Review Board approval, Just seconded. Motion carried. ANNEXATIONS ZONING (PARK-MAR) Park-Mar. The first public hearing on the proposed zoning of the Park-Mar Annexation area was held on August 15 and the second hearing is scheduled for this meeting. Planning Director Harris noted that the Planning Commission recommended that the property be zoned R1-7.2 (Single Family Residential District, with minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet) , which zoning is con- sistent with that of surrounding areas. The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. Responding to Masters' question, Harris noted that there are sewers in the area. There were no further comments and no correspondence has been received. KITTO MOVED that the hearing be closed, Carey seconded. Motion carried. Ordinance No. 2049 zoning the Park-Mar Annexation as R1-7.2 (Single Family Residential zoning) was introduced by the City Attorney. JUST MOVED that Ordinance No. 2049 be adopted, Storment seconded. Motion carried. Williamson. The first public hearing on the zoning for the Williamson Annexation area was held on August 15 and the second hearing is scheduled for this meeting. Planninq Director Harris noted that it was the recommendation of the Planninq Commission that the entire 14.5 acres be zoned R1-7.2, Single Family Residential with 7,200 square foot minimum lot size. The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. Val Rupeiks, Engineering Consultant, representing the property owners, repeated his request of August 15 to have this annexation zoned Office and Multi- Family, as well as Single Residential. He presented a map showing that Office and Multiple Dwelling zones existed in the area, and noted that the owners' request was, therefore, consistent with the existing zoning. Harris noted that the owners could apply for a rezone at the time development plans for the area were formulated. Upon McCaughan's question, Harris determined that the area to the south, which is still in the County, is zoned SR (Suburban Residential) , and is being considered under the Soos Creek Plateau Plan. In response to Just's question, Mr. Rupeiks noted that the owner of the property did have some develop- ment plans in mind for 110" and "MRM" zoning. Mr. Feinberg noted that he had re- cently purchased a portion of the property in question and had a potential developer in mind for a multi-family type use of the property but that the developer would not proceed without the necessary zoning. Masters opined that to be consistent with past policy, a plan for development should be presented before an area is zoned. Harris pointed out that in most annexation, a definite use for the pro- perty has already been determined. Masters stated further that if the property is zoned as recommended by the Planning Commission, there would be nothing to preclude the owners from seeking a rezone later through the regular process. Clark Williamson noted that he had attempted to sell his property through various realtors in the past and objections were encountered because of the long delay involved in obtaining a rezone, and the inconsistency of present zoning. He noted that it was his intent to annex to the City, obtain the zoning he required, and then sell the property. Harris determined that processing a rezone took from 6 to 8 weeks. There were no further comments and no correspondence has been received. KITTO MOVED that the hearing be closed, Carey seconded. Motion carried. JOHNSON MOVED that the attorney be directed to prepare an ordinance approving the zoning as recommended by the Planning Commission, Masters seconded. Motion carried. Gai. The first public hearing to consider appropriate zoning for the Gai annexation was held on August 15 and the second hearing is scheduled for this meeting. The public hearing was opened by Mayor Hogan. It was noted that the Planning Commission has recommended HC (Highway Commercial) zoning for the property on the West side of the Military Road and R1-7.2 (Single Family Residential) for the property on the East side of the Military. Ruth Gross, realtor, representing the owners, requested that consideration be given to HC zoning for the front 200 feet on the East side of Military. She pointed out that Harris had noted that the Planning Department had agreed to support this request. She then asked for further modifi- cation on the East side of Military as follows: CC (Community Commercial) zoning instead of R-1 for the area between the 200 foot strip of HC and the MRM strip to the East of it, as a buffer strip. Mrs. Gross determined that neither she nor the owner of the property had attended the Planning Commission hearing because the owner was out of town when the notice of the hearing was delivered. Harris concurred that his Department was prepared to support the request for HC zoning for the front 200 feet on the East side of Military, and further that the Planning Department would attempt to seek a way for the Gai Bakery and the Glass Doctor to become a permitted use under HC regulations, as outlined in his letter to Mrs. Gross dated February 8, 1977. He noted that the Planning Commission had not heard either of the requests made by Mrs. Gross tonight and suggested that the Council could refer the matter back to the Planning Commission to consider these new requests pertaining to the zoning of the portion on the East side of Military. It was determined that the Council could approve the zoning as recommended by the Planning Commission and the owners could ask for a rezone later. Mrs. Gross noted that this would be a lengthy process. Kitto reiterated his opinion stated at the August 15 meeting that he was against considering these additional requests since they had not been considered by the Planning Commission. Planning Commissioners Holmer and Johnson were present and they concurred with Kitto. There were no further comments and MASTERS MOVED to close the hearing, Johnson seconded. Motion carried. MASTERS MOVED that the attorney be directed to prepare an ordinance approving the zoning recommended by the Planning Commission and that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission to consider the zoning of the portion on the East side of the Military Road. Carey seconded. Motion carried. Franks and Blecker's Island Annexations. JOHNSON MOVED that the following hearing dates be set: Blecker's Island: Annexation hearing - 11/7/77 Zoning hearings - 10/3/77 & 11/7/77 Franks: Annexation hearing - 11/7/77 Zoning hearings - 10/3/77 & 11/7/77 Kitto seconded. Motion carried. REZONE David W. Hurlow. It was noted that on August 23, 1977, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on an application filed by David W. Hurlow for a rezone from "0," Professional and Office District to "CC," Community Commercial, zoning on property lying along the north side of James Street, approximately 119 feet west of 108th Avenue S.E. The Planning Commission recommends that this application be approved with the following condition: The applicant be required to deed right-of-way consisting of 20 feet along the north side of S.E. 240th Street and 30 feet along the west side of the present 108th Avenue S.E. right-of-way. Planning Director Harris pointed out the area on the map and reviewed the Planning Commission recommendation. The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. Mel Kleweno, attorney for the applicant, pointed out that more Commercial zoned property is needed in this area because of proposed development. He also noted that the applicant could, under the terms of the zoning classification, apply for a conditional use permit and develop the property 50% "0" zoning and 50% Commercial zoning. He also noted that he was not convinced that the property could be developed with "0" zoning because the demand was not that great for office space. Kleweno referred to the traffic problems discussed at the Planning Commission hearings and noted that traffic in the area is generated in a north and south direction. He opined that the traffic might be slightly less if the area was zoned one-third "0" and two-thirds Commercial as contemplated by the applicant. He noted that his client concurred with the terms of the condition for deeding right-of-way. Kleweno also noted that plans are drawn up for development of the property with "0" and "CC" type uses. Kitto questioned Ulett regarding the traffic problems in the area and questioned how much more traffic the streets in the area could handle. Ulett noted that he did not have the results of the traffic counts with him. He stated that if 108th S.E. were opened, some of the traffic congestion at the intersection of S. 240th and 104th S.E. would be relieved. He also pointed out that SE 240th would have to be widened and noted that all of SE 240th was in the County. Kitto asked Harris what designation the Comprehensive Plan showed for this area and Harris noted that the Plan does not provide for "0" zoning north of James Street but that it showed a commercial node with residential zoning surrounding it. Johnson opined that a policy had been established whereby an area was zoned: Commercial, Office, for a buffer zone, then Multi-Residential, and then Single Family Residential. Harris concurred that the East Hill Plan provided for this type of development. McCaughan questioned whether the pond near the apartments was a holding pond, and it was determined that it was not. McCaughan further questioned whether plans were being developed for a "Ring Road" type system around the entire area and Harris determined that S.E. 238th is partially blocked by the Pay 'N Save complex. It was determined by Ulett and Harris that because of the new development the streets to serve the area should be planned and put in now. It was also determined that in order to do this it is necessary to secure the rights-of-way before development occurs. Ulett noted for McCaughan that the condition providing for a right-of- way on S.E. 240th would be sufficient to allow five lanes. He commented further that the street requirement would also provide for better access for the Fire Department. He noted that in 1973 improvement of 108th Avenue S.E. was listed on the Six Year Plan to provide for a better means of access into the area. There was no correspondence and no further comments. KITTO MOVED that the attorney be directed to prepare an ordinance approving the rezone, including the condition as recommended by the Planning Commission, and to so amend the Zoning Code. Storment seconded. Motion carried. Dean. A letter was read from John P. Doran, Vice-President, LDL, Inc. , asking that the continued hearing on the Dean Rezone be tabled until October 3, 1977. MASTERS MOVED that the letter be accepted and made a part of the record, Carey seconded. Motion carried. JUST MOVED to continue the matter for two weeks until October 3, 1977, Kitto seconded. Motion carried. FINAL PLATS Green Valley Heights #5. The Final Plat of Green Valley Heights #5 has been signed by the Director of Public Works and the Planning Director. The public hearing on the Plat was opened by the Mayor. There were no comments and no correspondence has been received. MASTERS MOVED that the hearings be closed, Storment seconded. Motion carried. JUST MOVED that the Final Plat of Green Valley Heights #5 be accepted, Carey seconded. Motion carried. Cambridge East Division #2. It was noted that the Final Plat for Cambridge East Division #2 has been received by the Planning Department and JUST MOVED that a public hearing be held on October 3, 1977 to consider the Cambridge East Division #2 Final Plat, Storment seconded. Johnson requested that Ulett arrange for an inspection of the street before the matter comes to the Council for approval. Motion carried. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Human Resources Commission. At the last work session the Council was of such a divided opinion that the Administrator was directed to bring back the subject of the Human Resources Commission at a later date when financing of staff may be considered in conjunction with the 1978 budget. It is suggested that the report of the Community Services Committee dated August 22, 1977, be accepted and made a part of the record. Accordingly, MASTERS MOVED to accept said report for the record, Carev seconded. Motion carried. It was noted that the Administrator will notifv the Committee members of this action and express appreciation for their work. HEALTH & SANITATION LID 280 - Hughes-Ulleland Sewer. Upon the recommendation of the Engineering Department, KITTO MOVED that the T. W. Traverso Construction Co. , Inc. contract for LID 280, Hughes-Ulleland Sewer, located at S.E. 254th Place and 114th Ave. S.E. , be accepted as complete and that the retainage be released after receipt of the necessary releases from the State, Storment seconded. Motion carried. WATER EDA Drought Relief. The City Administrator noted that word has been received from EDA that the City of Kent is eligible to receive a grant offer not to exceed $102,000 and a loan not to exceed $102,000, to aid in financing drought emergency projects, presently estimated to cost $204,000, said loan to bear interest at 5% per annum. Street noted that the monies were to pay for water purchased from the City of Renton and Water District No. 75, and also for the drilling of two wells at the Kent Springs site. In order to receive the funds available, the grant and loan offer must be accepted and returned to EDA by September 21, and in accordance with the recommendations of the City Administrator, STORMENT MOVED to authorize the Mayor to sign the said agreement, Carey seconded. Motion carried. STREETS Variable Gas Tax. Wes Bogart, District Engineer for the State Highway Department, addressed the meeting regarding the variable gas tax and its impact on proposed highway construction in the Kent area. Bogart noted that discussions with various City officials have been held in the past regarding the present and future needs of the City with reference to highway construction. He presented a Six Year Con- struction Program for the Kent area based on estimated receipts from the variable gas tax, if approved by the voters. The program also showed the probable deletions if there is a decrease in gas tax receipts. He pointed out also that the proposed conservation measures could substantially decrease the amount of revenue to the State. Ulett noted that the widening of the East Valley Highway from S. 212th to S. 192nd, and the widening of S. 180th Street from the East Valley Highway to the West Valley Highway were both UAB projects and therefore not listed on the State projects pro- gram. A report was also presented containing questions which have been put to the State Highway Department and answers regarding the variable gas tax and its impact on present and future highway projects. Bogart noted that if further information was required, his office would be available to meet with interested citizens. S. 212th and Valley Freeway Interchange. At the last work session a lengthy dis- cussion of the proposed interchange between S. 212th and the Valley Freeway in- cluded input from a representative of King County, representatives of the Jack Benaroya Company, and a report of assurance from the State Highway District Engineer that he would include this project in his 1979-1981 requests for consideration. A copy of the letter from Jack Lynch of King County was also furnished to each Council member. JUST MOVED that the letter be made a part of the record, Carey seconded. It was noted that many details will have to be resolved in the next few weeks to determine whether this is a feasible project. The Administrator will report on those items as rapidly as possible. Motion carried. Fourth Avenue Signals Project. The Traffic Engineer has requested that the Council authorize the Mayor to sign an agreement with the State Department of Highways to finance the Fourth Avenue Signals project with $111,222 in FAM funds and $28,578 in City funds. The signed agreement and all other required Federal-Aid paperwork could then be sent to the State for processing and approval, and in the interim, the project design could be worked out close to completion. State approval for FAM funds could be received near the end of the year, enabling the City to adver- tise the project in late 1977 or early 1978, with construction to begin in the Spring of 1978. McCAUGHAN MOVED that the Mayor be authorized to sign the State/ City/County Agreement for the Fourth Avenue Signals Project, and that $28,578 in City funds be budgeted in 1978 for this project, Carey seconded. Johnson questioned the budgeting of funds in advance for a project such as this. Street explained that since 1971 it had been necessary to place all the money available toward the payment of principal and interest on the G.O. Bonds issued for Arterial Street projects but that next year there would be enough in the Arterial Street fund to cover the expenditure. McCaughan noted for Johnson that the matter was discussed at the last work session and it was determined that before other budget hearings begin, other Departments may ask to have money set aside for pro- jects. Street concurred but noted that approval of this request was being sug- gested because of the time factor involved and because the City was in jeopardy of losing the FAM funds unless action was taken at this time. He noted that both he and the Traffic Engineer were aware that other projects might be submitted for funding but that the money for this project was available and should be utilized at this time to take advantage of the FAM funds. Motion carried. Central Avenue Transmission Main - Puget Power. It was noted that Puget Power is proposing to reconductor their existing 115 KVA Transmission Main on Central Avenue from S. 218th Street to Willis Street. The project was discussed and reviewed by the Public Works Committee at their last meeting. In summary, the project will result in the reduction of high line poles on Central Avenue in the vicinity of Smith Street to Titus Street and the removal of a portion of the distribution system which also exists on said poles. RAILROAD CROSSINGS Union Pacific Railroad. At the last work session, it was determined that under the requirements of Ordinance No. 1491, if the Union Pacific Railroad is to extend a ground level crossing across West Valley Highway in the vicinity of S. 228th Street, it must excercise its franchise by November 20, 1977. UP has submitted plans which conform with the requirements of the Ordinance to the Engineering Department. Dave Uhrich, representative of the Railroad, stated that it may be some years before this crossing is needed, but that since it will serve some 400 acres of land, there is no possibility that the land would be developed without rail access. It is suggested that since the UP has an order from the WUTC which has no time limit, and due to the fact that rail crossings are not as good a driving surface as the present street, an extension of time might be appropriate. JOHNSON MOVED that the attorney be directed to prepare an amendment to Ordinance No. 1491 eliminating the existing time of construction requirement, Carey seconded. McCaughan opined that some time limit should be placed on the construction of the proposed crossinq instead of leaving the date open, and suqqested five years. Uhrich noted that the reason for the request for an extension was due to the uncertainty of flood control programs in the Valley area but that the Railroad was open to suggestions if any solution to flood control problems were in the offing. Masters concurred and stated that no time limit should be placed on the amendment. Motion carried, with McCaughan voting nay. FLOOD CONTROL Valley Flood Plain Management Program. At the last work session Planning Director Harris gave a full explanation of the current status of the Valley Flood Plan Management Program, including a financial program wherein the funds for hiring staff would come from Federal funds. Upon the request of the Planning Department, KITTO MOVED that the Planning Department be authorized to hire a person to for- mulate the work program for the Valley Flood Control Project, using the $10,000 allocated to the City of Kent by the Puget Sound Council of Governments and other monies allocated to the City from King County funds. Carey seconded. Motion carried. POLICE DEPARTMENT Alcoholism Services - Jailers. Street noted that a continuance agreement for the existing contract between the King County Division of Alcoholism Services and the City of Kent for the months of October, November and December, 1977 has been received, and that authorization for the Mayor to sign the proposed agreement was requested. STORMENT SO MOVED, Carey seconded. In response to Masters' question, it was determined that this is the contract whereby King County pays the City for the services of two jailers in exchange for use of City of Kent facilities for persons held for intoxication and while awaiting transfer to treatment centers. It was also noted that the salaries were the same as for the previous nine-month period. Motion carried. 1 ?1 ! KENT COMMONS R. W. Huff Construction - Contract Change Order. Street noted receipt of a letter from R. W. Huff Construction Co. , contractor for Phase 1 of the Kent Commons, noting that they intend to commence with the asphalt paving of the parking lot beginning on September 20, 1977, to avoid weather problems. The letter noted that if the City delayed this portion of the project, it might result in extra charges. Street noted that if the funds are approved as anticipated for Phase II, the park- ing lot would have to be redone. He recommended, therefore, that he be authorized to notify the contractor to not proceed with the paving of the parking lot at this time. JUST MOVED that the contractor, R. W. Huff Construction Co. , be so notified, Johnson seconded. Mayor Hogan noted that she had been in contact with Norm Dicks' office and was informed that the grant applications for Phase II funding had been cleared at the local level, where the major screening takes place, and were now in Washington, D.C. for final processing. Motion carried. PLANNING COMMISSION The Mayor proposes that Mrs. Robert (Gloria) Brown be appointed to the Planning Commission, replacing Marilyn Jones, for a four-year term. JUST MOVED to confirm the appointment, Masters seconded. Motion carried. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT In accordance with the recommendation of Mayor Hogan, MASTERS MOVED to confirm the appointment of Beth Carroll to complete the unexpired term of Romain Samuelson until February, 1979, to the Board of Adjustment, Carey seconded. Motion carried. BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS Terry M. Costello has been proposed by Mayor Hogan to be appointed to fill the unexpired term of Mary Loop to June 1, 1979, on the Board of Park Commissioners. MASTERS MOVED to approve the appointment, Just seconded. In response to McCaughan's question, it was determined that Costello was not a resident of the City and McCaughan suggested that the next person appointed be a resident. Motion carried. ARTS COMMISSION Three positions are open on the Arts Commission, two of which positions are for four years, and one to fill an unexpired term of two years. The Mayor proposes that Marie (Taffy) Jacaway fill the unexpired term and that Sherill McBroom and Carolyn Tolas serve the four year terms. JOHNSON MOVED that these appointments to the Arts Commission be confirmed, Carey seconded. Motion carried. It was noted that the terms of the following members of the Arts Commission expire in October, 1977, and the Mayor has proposed to reappoint them for four-year terms: 1) Laurel Whitehurst 2) Mike Dickson 3) Carolyn Wiley 4) Wes Soderberg KITTO MOVED that the reappointment of the four individuals named above be confirmed, Carey seconded. In response to Masters' question, it was determined that there was no limit to the number of terms an individual could serve on the Arts Commission. Motion carried. PERSONNEL A memo was read from Paul Edgerton, Building Director, noting that he had been appointed to the Education Committee of the International Conference of Building Officials at its recent annual meeting. Congratulations were extended to Mr. Edgerton. Masters also congratulated City Treasurer Drotz upon behalf of the Council for her recent appointment as President of the Washington Finance Officers Association. GAMBLING The City Attorney introduced Ordinance No. 2050 amending Section 1 of Ordinance 1888 relating to the taxation of gambling, and repealing Section 1 of Ordinance No. 1978. JUST MOVED for the adoption of Ordinance No. 2050, Carey seconded. Mirk explained for McCaughan that the ordinance was necessary because of the passage of a new State law limiting the tax rate on amusement games to 2%, as well as a new provision providing that no tax shall be imposed on bingo, raffles and amusement games conducted by any bona fide charitable or non-profit organiza- tion, unless the organization takes in more than $5,000 per year. Upon Masters' question, Mirk clarified that the State collects no taxes for gambling operations, that they collect only the license fee. Motion carried. BUDGET Travel Expense Fund. The Finance/Personnel Director has asked that Ordinance No. 1818, authorizing a Travel Expense Fund with a starting amount of $500, be amended to increase the amount to $2,500. The attorney has determined that an amendment to the ordinance is unnecessary, and that a motion by the Council would suffice. It was noted that the larger amount is necessary because $1,500 had been advanced for a police officer to go to New York in conjunction with polygraph training. JOHNSON MOVED that the Travel Expense Fund be increased to $2,500, McCaughan seconded. It was determined for Carey that the matter has been discussed at the Finance Committee. Street determined for Masters that the fund covers justified travel expense and that the fund is reimbursed by the various departments request- ing travel authorization. Motion carried. FINANCE During the time of the transfer of the Kent-Langley (Springbrook) property from the mortgage holder to the Department of Housing & Urban Development, certain City checks were issued for latecomer payments but were not cashed. It is now necessary to issue new checks to the Department of Housing & Urban Development and cancel the old checks. The City Attorney introduced Resolution No. 830, cancelling certain checks as listed on Exhibit "A" to said Resolution, issued by the City of Kent and not presented for payment within one year. STORMENT MOVED for the adoption of Resolution No. 830, Carey seconded. Motion carried.
