Also present: URS representa- tives Ramsey and Abed. City Administrator Street was absent. Approximately 40 people were in attendance at the meeting. MINUTES KITTO MOVED that the minutes of the meeting held October 17, 1977 be approved as printed, Just seconded. Motion carried. STREETS, 72nd AVENUE CORRIDOR It was noted that at the last workshop session discussion was had on the pro- blems of the 72nd Avenue alignment. Mr. Uhrich of Upland Industries had ob- jected to the change in location of 72nd Avenue in his letter of October 12, which was read and made a part of the record at the October 17 Council meeting. It was noted that a representative of Upland had attended the Short Plat Com- mittee review of the Arden-Mayfair plat and that this plat established the northern terminus of 72nd Avenue for the Upland property. The Public Works Department has therefore recommended that the 72nd Avenue alignment continue through the Upland property in a manner coordinated with their development with the northern terminus being as presently fixed and the southern terminus to be along S. 228th Street. The Clerk read a letter dated November 2nd in which Mr. Uhrich noted that the minutes of the Planning Commission and Short Plat Committee meetings show that the Arden-Mayfair owners did not object to any of the proposals for the alignment, and that Upland objected to every proposal except the one which would be directly over the Auburn Interceptor easement. He noted further that the Short Plat Committee's resolution approving the Arden- Mayfair plat contained six conditions. He suggested two alternates for the Council's consideration and noted that the problems with the alignment were caused by Puget Power, and that they therefore should absorb the major portion of the costs and difficulties attached thereto. Masters moved to have this letter made a part of the record, Carey seconded. Motion carried. Michael Bradley and Harvey Anderson representing owners of the Arden-Mayfair property stated that approval of the plat had been delayed for this additional consideration of the 72nd Avenue alignment. Bradley noted that they have followed the conditions outlined by the city . Ulett concurred that the pro- blem started when the route of 72nd was "wowed" to accomodate the sub station on the Puget Power property. Gary Volchok noted that the "wow" was necessary and could not be changed because the power poles and transmission lines were already in. Anderson determined that development of the Arden-Mayfair plat would be accomplished around the Auburn Interceptor easement. Upon questions from the Council, Ulrich maintained that Upland Industries had always favored the route over the Interceptor easement for the alignment and had objected to any other proposal. He noted that it was expected that the Council would decide on the final alignment, and that it was unfortunate that the Council allowed the "wow" to accomodate Puget Power, to the detriment of the other property owners in the area. Anderson suggested that 72nd Avenue be turned on the Upland property. He noted that the recommendation of the Public Works Department as stated above was acceptable to Arden-Mayfair. Carey opined that the Council should not delay the Arden-Mayfair development since they had adhered to the conditions of the Short Plat resolution. Masters stated that the "wowing" had destroyed the concept of the proposed alignment as has been shown on the 6-year plan all along and Kitto agreed. Masters suggested that the various department heads should attempt to reach an equitable solution. Several alternatives were discussed, and JOHNSON MOVED that the 72nd Avenue alignment through the Upland property be such that the northern terminus will be as presently fixed, as denoted on the Arden-Mayfair Short Plat, and that the southern terminus be at S. 228th Street. Carey seconded. Kitto spoke in favor of the motion noting that the concept of a corridor would be lost if the street was again "wowed". STREETS 72nd AVENUE CORRIDOR McCaughan stated he was in favor of the motion as it would give Upland flexibility to run the road straight down or to the west. He opined that the Council should not have allowed the change in the alignment to accomodate Puget Power. Masters concurred in this and stated that the decision on approving the short plat for Arden-Mayfair should be honored. Motion carried unanimously. PRELIMINARY PLAT KROM/MONTGOMERY A public meeting is scheduled for tonight to consider the Krom/Montgomery Replat Preliminary Plat. Harris described the site as five acres located along the east side of the West Valley Highway at approximately S. 210th Street. He noted that the Planning Commission has recommended approval with the following conditions: 1. The drainage way and wetland portion of the site not be filled until it is ready to be used (as evidenced by the issuance of a building permit showing use of the property) . 2. The west 20 feet be dedicated for public right-of-way. 3. Install utilities and storm drains prior to construction. 4. Design and management of surface drainage systems should be planned prior to construction and implemented according to that plan. All water should be conveyed to a safe, non-erosive outlet. 5. 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. 6. Avoid soil disturbance during rainy season. 7. Denuded ground should be protected as soon as construction allows. 8. All stockpiles of excavated soil should have erosion protection at all times. 9. An explanation of what is to be done with excavated soil should accompany the final plat. The public meeting was opened by Mayor Hogan. Gary Volchok representing the owners referred to condition #2 and stated that he thought that if a dedication was to be made for a right-of-way that it should be a direct benefit to the pro- perty, and this would not be a benefit. He noted that access to the plat would be directly from the West Valley Highway. Mirk opined that development of the plat would generate traffic and that the condition was proper. Upon Masters' question, Ulett determined that the right-of-way would be used for widening the West Valley Highway. Masters noted that the contractor on the site has been negligent in keeping the street free of mud and debris and that the city should enforce the regulations pertaining thereto. There were no further comments, and the public meeting was closed. McCAUGHAN MOVED to approve the Krom/Montgomery Replat Pre- liminary Plat as recommended by the Planning Commission, including the conditions. Masters seconded, motion carried. STREETS SR 516 Reith Road to West Valley Highway. It was noted that the Department of Transportation has submitted an agreement for the use of Reith Road as a haul road from their pit site to SR 516 when they construct SR 516 from Reith Road to West Valley Highway. The agreement makes the State responsible for extra maintenance expense caused by their handling. The Public Works Department recommends accept- ance. Harris noted that the State Highway Department had sent him a letter claim- ing that they did not have to apply for a Conditional Use Permit for the Reith Road pit site. He suggested that action on the agreement be postponed until the question is clarified, as he was of the opinion that such a permit is required. Mirk noted that Conditional Use permits are subject to a public hearing before the Planning Commission, and upon his suggestion MASTERS MOVED that the matter be referred to the Planning Director and City Attorney to determine whether such a permit is required. Carey seconded, motion carried. LID 281 - 104th Ave. Street Improvement. Pacific Paving Co. , Inc. has requested a change order for additional work in the amount of $805 relating to the adjustment of the signal poles, etc. The matter was discussed with the Public Works Committee at which time authorization was granted for up to $2,000. JOHNSON MOVED that change order #1 in the amount of $805 be approved, Carey seconded. Motion carried. STREET LIGHT BILLINGS Meadow Lane Plat. The Public Works and Planning Committee recommends that the request of Mac-Land, Inc. for Kent to act as agent for street lighting in Meadow Lane Plat, located outside of Kent, be denied because we handle no outside of Kent lighting and King County can handle it. The City Attorney is of the opinion that we cannot enter into an agreement for a lighting program outside of the City. JOHNSON MOVED that the Mac-Land request for street lighting in Meadow Lane Plat be denied, Just seconded. Motion carried. CLAIMS Gerald Van Hee. A claim was submitted by Gerald Van Hee in the amount of $250,000 for alleged damage or destruction of commercial blueberry bushes. Upon the recom- mendation of the City Attorney, CAREY MOVED that the claim of Gerald Van Hee in the amount of $250,000 be denied and referred to the insurance carrier, Storment seconded. Motion carried. EDA GRANT A letter was read from Victor Heinlen, Federal Way School District, expressing appreciation for the City's cooperation and assistance in connection with the $264,000 EDA grant recently received by the district for improvements to Totem Junior High School. MASTERS MOVED that the letter be made a part of the record, Carey seconded. Motion carried. FIRE DEPARTMENT The Clerk read a letter to Chief Foster from Ron Richardson, Football Coach at Kent Junior High. The letter thanked the Fire Department for providing the aid cars at the games and for assistance to an injured player. MASTERS MOVED that the letter be made a part of the record, Storment seconded. Motion carried. FIRST AVENUE MERCHANTS A copy of a letter was read from Mary E. Fortune of Ella's Book Store to Mr. Fournier, Kent News Journal. The letter noted that the merchants on First Avenue received no consideration from the newspaper or the Chamber of Commerce in publicizing their pumpkin carving contest. MASTERS MOVED that the letter be made a part of the record, Storment seconded. Masters questioned whether KDA should be informed and Mayor Hogan stated that they probably would be in- formed by the Chamber of Commerce. Motion rcarried. Just noted that he had a business on First Avenue and had not been invited to participte in the contest. RAILROAD CROSSINGS A letter was read from Henry Towne objecting to the idea of placing gates on all the railroad crossings in town. MASTERS MOVED that the letter be made a part of the record, Carey seconded. Motion carried. Masters noted that Mr. Towne had not mentioned the only way to solve the problem, which is to separate the grade crossings, but the problem was how to afford it. It was noted that installation of gates at the Milwaukee Railroad crossings of James, Smith, S. 228th and S. 212th Streets was discussed at the last Council workshop. Staff is proceeding with the petitions for such installations and will file them in approximately two weeks. Interim changes in protective devices, including larger signal faces and contilever mounting is being discussed with the railroad. Changes in our advance warning signs and pavement markings are being assessed also. A letter was read from David Rees, Washington Utilities and Transportation Com- mission, suggesting that the Burlington Northern crossing at South 208th Street be closed and enclosing the necessary forms for the city to request such a clo- sure. MASTERS MOVED that the letter be accepted and referred to the committee of the whole, Carey seconded. Motion carried. EQUIPMENT RENTAL Surplus Equipment Bid Sale.

Kitto stated that a proposal from Dennis Neifert would be reviewed by the committee. Motion carried. Extension of Participation in Housing Rehabilitation Program. It was noted that at the October 24th City Council workshop the Planning Department presented information to justify their request for a City Council motion that would allow senior, handicapped and low income persons to participate in the Kent Rehab Program regardless of where they reside within the Housing and Community Develop- ment Target Area. JOHNSON MOVED that the Planning Department be allowed to extend participation in the program to all qualified senior, handicapped and low income single family home owners in the City's Housing and Community Development Target Area, Carey seconded. In answer to Masters' question, Raul Ramos stated that the Planning Department in conjunction with citizen groups has established criteria for qualification, based on income, home ownership and location. He noted that this had been approved by the Council in 1974. Ad Hoc Committee on Subsidiary Housing. Carey referred to a memo he had presented at the workshop and MOVED that an Ad Hoc Committee be established on Subsidiary Housing and that said committee be charged with: 1. Qualify what kind of housing the city will accept. 2. Contact contractors and encourage the accepted type housings in our target areas. 3. Receive Council approval of type of housing and amount. Keep the Council informed on progress, if any. Johnson seconded the motion, and upon Masters' question, Carey stated that he would serve on this committee. Motion carried. HEALTH & SANITATION Stephanus Sewer Request. Paul Stephanus has requested sewer service for apart- ments he is building at S.E. 224th and Benson Road, outside of Kent, A portion of his property was previously developed with apartments and is receiving Kent sewer service. The Public Works Department recommends approval subject to Resolution 822 and the payment of the "in lieu" charge for the sewer. Mr. Stephanus further requests deferred payment on the "in lieu" charge of $4,016.40. JUST MOVED that both requests be granted, subject to the recommended requirements and the adopted policy on deferred payment. Storment seconded. Mr. Stephanus stated that when he started the development, Glen Sherwood, former Kent City Engineer, had approved the entire sewer system and Stephanus had con- nected on the other side of the road at considerable expense. He noted further that at that time he had agreed with Sherwood and the City of Kent that if the main trunk line was brought in on S. 224th on a gravity basis that they would connect there with the understanding that they would not be charged again. Stephanus maintains that he is being recharged for the same thing and would like to have enough time to be able to present the necessary documentation to prove that he has done so. He also stated that if he is required to make the payments, he would like to do so over a 5-year period. Mr. Ulett stated that the first payment is not due for a year and that if during that year Mr. Stephanus could come up with some kind of proof that he has already paid, the bill could be rescinded. Mr. Mirk stated that if Mr. Stephanus has paid, it can be determined and that the records will be checked. He determined that the motion as stated would cover the situation. Motion carried. Sunrise East Sewer. Group Four, Inc. has requested sewer service for a 60-acre plat named Sunrise East located on the west side of 132nd Avenue S.E. south of S.E. 276th Street, outside of Kent. The 60 acres is proposed to be platted in 3 divisions totalling 223 lots, all of which can be served by extension from the King County Housing Authority apartment complex to the north. Approximately 20 acres of the 60 is not within Kent's sewer franchise but is a logical addi- tion to it. The Public Works Department recommends approval subject to Resolu- tion 822 and with the developer paying the costs if any, of the franchise amend- ment. STORMENT MOVED that the request be granted with the recommended require- ments, Carey seconded. Motion carried. Gonnason Sewer. Jim Gonnason has requested sewer service for property outside the city limits at 22821 S.E. 100th Avenue. The property does not abut a city boundary but has an adequate sewer line adjacent to it. CAREY MOVED that the request be granted, subject to the requirements of Resolution 822 and the payment of the "in lieu" charge for the sewer, Just seconded. Motion carried. Meadow Hill Dev-Con Request - Sewer & Water. It was noted that the Public Works Committee reviewed a request from Dev-Con for Kent water and sewer service for the Meadow Hills 120 lot plat outside the city on the north side of S.E. 256th east of Plemmons' Kent Highlands #2. The committee did not object to the service, which includes a sewage lift station, provided that Kent is protected against extra expense for its operation and maintenance and provided that Cascade Sewer District will allow the station to discharge into their force main. Cascade has subsequently expressed a willingness to contract with Kent. Our sewer superintendent urges that we not allow additional non-gravity sewers to be connected to our system. Sewer Superintendent Bob Kristofferson distributed a list of estimated costs for pump stations for 1977 and 1978, along with the amounts which would have to be charged monthly to the customers using the proposed lift station for Dev-Con. He noted that customers inside the city were not charged extra for lift station service, and pointed out the difficulties of having two different rates. Approval of the additional lift station would affect the city's federal discharge permit and increase the city's liability with regard to overflows, in addition to the time needed for maintenance. Johnson stated that this pump station would in effect be subsidized by the city residents, and suggested that Dev-Con join with Plemmons to annex the area. Storment noted that the committee had stated that the city must be pro- tected from entailing extra expense. Jim McDermott of Dev-Con stated that the cost of installation of the cost of installation of the proposed pump station would be borne by the developer and that he estimated the cost of maintenance and operation to be about $300 per month which would be borne by those using the facility. He said that he was willing to become a part of any annexation proposed for the area. Kristofferson stated that the rates for sewer service must be reviewed and approved annually by EPA and that they would require an increase in the rate all over the city if the rate for this project was higher than the city's rate. He recommended therefore that the request be denied. Upon questions from the Council, Ulett noted that the Dev-Con area was within Kent's franchise area, and that a criteria must be established. McDermott determined for Just that the plat was just outside the city limits and was too far from Cascade to obtain service from them. Ulett noted that some of the north lots of the plat could be served by gravity through Plemmons' line. Just stated that since the area is within Kent's franchise area, the request should be considered. KITTO MOVED to table the matter to the next meeting to allow time to consider alterna- tives, Johnson seconded. Carey pointed out that the rate structure would also be reviewed. It was determined that the Public Works Committee would discuss the matter on November 16th. Motion carried. Century First Building Sanitary Sewer Extension. Upon the recommendation of the Public Works Department, KITTO MOVED that the Bill of Sale and Warranty Agreement for the sanitary sewers constructed in the vicinity of 25052 104th Avenue S.E. be accepted and the cash bond be released upon payment of any outstanding city bills against the project, Storment seconded. Motion carried. Centennial Realty Sanitary Sewer Extension. The Engineering Department recom- mends that the Bill of Sale and Warranty Agreement for the sanitary sewers con- structed in the vicinity of 104th Avenue S .E. and S. 252nd Street be accepted and the cash bond be released upon payment of any outstanding city bills against the project.

KENT VALLEY YOUTH SERVICES Masters asked that the Council support her motion to direct the Finance Director to start procedure for an audit of the KVYS. Johnson seconded. Masters stated that this agency requests funds from many sources and have not provided documenta- tion as to how the funds are spent. Upon Kitto's question, Masters clarified that the intent of the motion was to have Winkle bring information to the next work session. Motion carried.

There were no comments from the audience and McCAUGHAN MOVED that the hearing be closed, Just seconded. KITTO MOVED that the attorney be directed to prepare an ordinance approving the zoning as recommended by the Planning Commission, Carey seconded. Motion carried.

Mayor Hogan opened the public hearing. Mr. Fitch stated that he represented the Bleckers. There were no further comments and JUST MOVED that the hearing be closed, Storment seconded, motion carried. JUST MOVED that the attorney be directed to prepare an ordinance approving this annexation, Storment seconded. Motion carried. Zoning of "Blecker's Island" Annexation. It was noted that the public hearing for the zoning of this annexation was continued to this meeting from the October 3rd meeting. Mayor Hogan opened the continued hearing. Harris noted that the Plan- ning Commission has recommended R1-12, Single Family Residential zoning, and pointed out that some of the lots would have to be combined to fulfill the 12,000 sq. ft. minimum lot requirement. He noted that the reason some of the lots were undersized was because the state utilized some of the property for the Kent-Des Moines Road, and that the property owners were compensated for this. He noted that a county building permit was issued in August 1976. The reason was that the lots were held in common ownership, and he thought that the permit had now expired. Mr. Fitch noted that except for lots 9 and 10, all of the lots were owned by one family. In response to Kitto, Harris stated that the county zoning for the sur- rounding area was 15,000 sq. ft.
