PLAT King County and Kent. A public meeting is scheduled before the Council at this time to consider the Planning Commission's recommendations. Planning Director Harris pointed out the location of the proposed Preliminary Plat located north of S . 212th Street between West Valley Highway and the proposed 72nd Avenue S. , noting that it consisted of approximately 31 acres comprised of nine lots in an M-1 Industrial Park zone. Harris noted that Condition #k3 (f) provided for sidewalks on both sides of 72nd Avenue S. , in accordance with a recent Subdivision Code Amendment approved by Would becil. He handled ontsitehat (WESTFORM storm water retention WESTION) until completion of the P-2 channel in the area. ADDI The public meeting was opened by the Mayor. Gary Volchok of Coldwell Banker addressed the meeting, noting that he represented Westform Development Company. Referring to the matter of the storm water retention, he noted that it has been planned to empty into the 72nd Avenue S. system until the P-2 channel is completed. He noted that the channel is presently 30 feet wide and will be widened to 195 feet. He also pointed out that the entire area will be developed within the next three to five months , including streets and drainage systems, and that water retention would be handled through oversized pipes on each individual development. He noted that the developer would be working with the City Engineering Department to handle the prob- lem. Referring to the 80 foot right-of-way for 72nd Avenue S . , he noted that this consisted of a 60 foot right-of-way with two 10 foot permanent easements on either side, as was required as part of LID 283, and in the Uplands area to the south. Volchok expressed his objections to requiring sidewalks on both sides of 72nd Avenue S . and asked that they be required on one side only, noting that in his opinion sidewalks were not necessary in an industrial park area. He - 3 - March 5, 1979 PRELIMINARY also referred to the fact that no sidewalks PLAT were required on side streets. Referring to Harris ' s comments about sidewalks on West Valley Highway and on S . 212th Street, he noted that he was not aware of this require- ment until this time. In response to Kitto 's question regarding the storm water retention system, Volchok noted that each individual lot developed would be required to install over- sized piping as the property was developed, which could handle the storm water and divert it in a controlled manner into the 72nd Avenue S . system until completion of the P-2 channel. Mayor Hogan and Councilperson Masters questioned how the storm water could be controlled, even (WESTFORM with the installation of oversized pipes , and ADDITION) Volchok again noted that this problem would be worked out with the Engineering Department. Ulett clarified that the matter of storm water drainage control is covered by the ordinance which the Council recently adopted, and that a developer must comply with the conditions of the ordinance. He noted that the storm water - would ultimately empty into the P-2 channel as Volchok had stated, and that the storm water drainage must be no greater than it is at the present time. He also noted that it could be controlled by having a surface water detention basin on site, or by installation of the over- sized pipe. Kitto noted that he agreed with Volchok ' s comments about the necessity for sidewalks in an industrial park area. Upon McCaughan' s question, Harris clarified that sidewalks would be required on both sides of all major arterial or industrial collector streets. He further noted that sidewalks were becoming a necessity in industrial park areas. Ulett noted for Vol- chok that it was his belief that. sidewalks would be required as a part of LID 283. Volchok objected by virtue of the fact that S. 212th and West Valley Highway were not new streets and questioned the requirement for sidewalks. 4 - March 5, 1979 PRELIMINARY There were no further comments and B.
