STREETS BIDS - LID 288/East Valley Highway Street Improve-
ment (S. 212th - S. 192nd)
LID 293 - East Valley Highway Sewer & Water
(S. 212th - S. 192nd)
BIDS were received on May 25, 1979 on the above
referenced projects as follows:

Schedules II - VI
Scarsella Bros. , Inc. $2, 396,607.50
City Transfer $2, 400, 841. 84
Tri-State Construction $2 ,410 , 718 .49
(Engineer' s estimate - $2 ,099, 388.42)
Ulett noted that the bids were all close and were
approximately 13% over the engineer' s estimate.
He recommended that the best bid of Scarsella
Brothers be accepted, since it was not felt that
lower bids would be received on rebid, and further
that it was imperative that the project go to con-
tract by July 8 or 9 or a UAB grant of almost
$2 ,000 ,000 would be in jeopardy. He noted that
2 -
June 4 , 1979
STREETS funding was available with an approximate
$118,000 available in contingency funds, plus
a possibility of an increase of $50,000 UAB
funds and a probable $55,800 railroad grant.
CAREY MOVED to accept the best bid of Scarsella
Brothers in the amount of $2 ,396, 607. 50 for
Schedule I Alternate, and Schedules II - VI,
subject to UAB approval, McCaughan seconded.
Motion carried.
LID 292 - Street Improvements . A public hear-
ing is scheduled for this meeting to consider
the formation of LID 292 to widen and improve
104th S.E. from S .E. 242nd to S.E. 235th and
to improve S.E. 240th Street from 104th Avenue
S .E. to 108th Avenue S.E. The project includes
storm drainage, street lighting, street trees,
placing of telephone and power distribution
systems underground, and a traffic signal rebuild.
Funding includes the proposed LID, State Depart-
ment of Transportation Funds, .King County Funds,
and City of Kent funds. A 30-day protest period
begins after the passage and publication of an
ordinance creating the district and if land
owners subject to 60% or more of the total
assessment give written protest the LID project
is restrained. The public hearing was opened
by the Mayor. Richard Gradwohl questioned the
area of S.E. 236th Street and referred to a
sewer line which had recently been installed
in the area and the resulting condition of the
street. It was determined that S.E. 236th was not
part of the LID project but the contractor who
put in the sewer line was covered by a bond and
steps would be taken to make the contractor cor-
rect the situation. He'also referred to a deten-
tion basin which had been constructed in connection
with his development but which was now useless as
a result of damage done to the system during the
sewer construction. There were no further comments
and ELLIOTT MOVED that the hearing be closed,
McCaughan seconded. Motion carried. CAREY MOVED
that the City Attorney be directed to prepare an
ordinance creating LID 292 , B. Johnson seconded.
Motion carried.

Kent Valley Festival, it will be necessary to
close Titus Street from Second to Third from
6 p.m. Tuesday, June 5, through noon on Tuesday,
June 12, 1979. CAREY MOVED that the street
closure requested be granted, B. Johnson
seconded. Motion carried.
ADDRESS Notice of Change of Address - Green Valley
CHANGES Heights. J. K. Miller, 24704 43rd Avenue S . ,
referred to a letter sent by the Kent Building
Department advising some of the residents on
42nd and 43rd Avenue S. that their addresses
would be changed. He had a suggestion to
simplify the matter and was invited to discuss
the matter with City Administrator Cushing.
STREET Portion of W. Saar Street (Ribail request) . On
VACATION May 7, 1979 the City Council adopted Resolution
No. 869 which set the date for a City Council
public hearing on this proposed street vacation
for this date. The Planning Department has re-
ceived input from all interested City depart-
ments and from the following agencies: Puget
Sound Power & Light and the Washington Natural
Gas Company. After a review of the comments
from these agencies and departments, the Plan-
ning Department recommends that the request to
vacate that portion of W. Saar Street as set
forth in Resolution 869 not be approved as re-
quested for the following reasons:
1) The Kent Police Department feels that the
vacation would hinder emergency vehicle
response to the area.
2) The Kent Fire Department points out that
there is a City hydrant in this portion
of Saar Street and the street allows for
good access to the Milwaukee - Union Paci-
fic Railroads, and therefore, the street
vacation should not be allowed.
4 -
June 4, 1979
STREET The public hearing was opened by the Mayor.
VACATION George Billings, President of Northwest Dry-
wall Supply, located at 725 W. Saar, and re-
presenting Mr. Ribail, pointed out that the
street vacation would allow more room in front
of the business where trucks are loaded and un-
loaded. He noted that the requested vacation
is for approximately 132� feet and that the
street deadends against a spur line of the
Milwaukee Railroad. He noted that the street
is in poor condition and has not been maintained
by the City and that he proposed to pave it if
it is vacated. Billings stated he could not
understand the objections by the Police Depart-
ment and had assured the Fire Chief that there
would be no fence constructed, so access to the
fire hydrant would be assured. Billings noted
for McCaughan that his company does own the ad-
joining property and also noted that other
people use the street as a turn-around area.
He suggested that possibly his company could
enter into an agreement with the City formally
stating that they would not fence the area.
Harris clarified for B. Johnson that the Engi-
neering Department' s main concerns were that
utility easements be granted in the area if the
street were to be vacated and that since the
recommendation was for denial the Engineering
Department requirements were not included in the
staff report. J. Johnson stated that he felt
the matter should be referred to the workshop
session for further discussion and the possibility
of entering into the type of agreement as pro-
posed by Billings. Mr. Billings noted further
that the State was the adjoining property owner
and had approved the vacation request. B. JOHNSON
MOVED to continue the hearing to June 18 and refer
the matter to the June 11 workshop for further
discussion, Masters seconded. Motion carried.
SPECIAL USE On May 22, 1979 the Planning Commission held a
COMBINING public hearing on an application filed by Kent
DISTRICT Highlands, Inc. for a Special Use Combining Dis-
trict to continue a grading & filling operation
Kent Highlands, which was initiated in 1971 on a 400-acre site
Inc. in an area zoned RA, CC and MR-M. The property
- 5
June 4, 1979
SPECIAL USE is located west of Frager Road, generally des-
COMBINING cribed as the hillside between Military Road
DISTRICT S. and Frager Road, north of the Kent Des Moines
Road. The Planning Commission has recommended
Kent Highlands, approval of the application subject to the follow-
Inc. ing nine conditions:
1. Submit detail plans denoting final contours,
including therewith the respective necessary
cross-sections to the Engineering Department
for review and approval.
2. Submit detailed erosion control plan to
Engineering Department for review and
approval.
3. On an annual basis, submit updated topo-

7 . The final contouring shall include provisions
for an east-west street from' Military Road
to Frager Road. Said provisions shall pro-
vide for a 60 foot wide level section, all
of which to be on original ground with cut
and fill slopes not to exceed a ratio of 2
horizontal to one vertical, and a profile
grade not to exceed 15% .
6 -
June 4, 1979
SPECIAL USE 8. Where the applicants property abuts Frager
COMBINING Road, deed to the City 30 ' of right-of-way
DISTRICT as measured from the center line of the
existing pavement for the entire length of
Kent Highlands, frontage thereon. Where the applicant' s
Inc. ownership is contiguous on both sides of
Frager .Road, deed to the City a total of
60 feet of right-of-way as centered on and
measured from the centerline of the exist-
ing pavement.
9 . Conditions 1, 2 , 6, 7, and 8 shall be com-
plied with prior to starting any contouring
work under this permit.
Planning Director Harris described the area and
noted that the final EIS, including letters
from various agencies, and the Planning Depart-
ments comments thereon, has been filed as a part
of the record. The public hearing was opened
by Mayor Hogan. James Curran, attorney for
Kent Highlands, Inc. , gave the history of the
operation. It was clarified that the City of
Seattle has leased a portion of Kent Highlands
property and is using same for a sanitary land-
fill. The landfill operation is adjacent to
the property under consideration now for con-
tinuation of the Special Use permit. The permit,
issued June 8, 1971, has allowed cover material
to be used in the landfill operation, without
transporting it over public roads, and the permit
expires on June 8 , 1979 . Curran stated that the
ponds were adequate to control the water runoff
problem. He referred to Condition No. 9, stating
that his client had already complied with (1) , (2) ,
and (6) . He stated further that contouring work
was already underway, and that it was understood
with the City Engineer that final contouring will
be accomplished when the removal project is com-
pleted (7) . Curran stated that it was his under-
standing with Wickstrom that final deeding could
occur at the first annual review (8) . He noted
further that the City wanted to be sure that a
60 ' right of way be left along the river but that
7 -
June 4 , 1979
SPECIAL USE the City might not want a right of way that wide
COMBINING if a more direct route, north and south was pro-
DISTRICT vided by Kent Highlands. Lloyd Ehrdahl, owner
of adjacent property declared that the canyon
Kent Highlands, has already been filled to capacity and objected
Inc. to the extension of the permit. Harold Euteneier
stated that a sprinkler truck for controlling dust
in the area was on site but was not being used.
He noted further that the agreement between Kent
Highlands and the City of Seattle provided that
1 ' of cover be placed over the refuse daily, but
that it was evident that this has not been done.
He objected to various infractions of the agree-
ment and noted that the city should have a person
assigned to monitoring the operation of this pro-
ject. He suggested that the city refuse to ex-
tend the permit until assured compliance with the
agreement. Frank Lee asked if water from the
site eventually discharged into the river. Hugh
Goldsmith, engineer for Kent Highlands, stated
that the City of Seattle has developed a system
for draining the surface water, including leachate
pumping under the river and into the sewer. The _
City Clerk introduced a petition filed this even-
ing, containing 138 signatures asking that the
permit not be renewed thus causing the closure
of the sanitary landfill and ending the offensive
odor in the area. CAREY MOVED for the petition
to be filed as part of the record, B. Johnson
seconded. Motion carried.
B. Johnson noted that an article in the Federal
Way News referring to a fire in the MIDWAY LAND-
FILL quoted Fairbanks, Director of Seattle' s
Solid Waste Program as stating that it is not
known for certain what type of materials were
dumped each day and that the material was not
covered properly each night. It was determined
that there have been no fires at the Kent Highlands
fill site but that these conditions were true at
both sites. B. Johnson noted further that there
had been no offensive odor from the site for the
past two weeks, pointing out that more care might
have been taken in view of the fact that it was
8 _
June 4, 1979
SPECIAL USE time to renew the permit. She suggested that
COMBINING renewal of the permit be withheld and the city
DISTRICT meet with Seattle to insist that the conditions
be enforced. McCaughan agreed, citing the con-
Kent Highlands, ditions from Ordinance 1390, under which the
Inc. permit was originally granted. He further note(]
the lack of proper monitoring of the operation.
Upon Masters ' question about monitoring, Cushing
opined that this might properly fall under the
jurisdiction of the Department of Public Works,
and if the operation is to continue, one person
should be assigned to this project and that the
source of the expenses incurred thereto would
have to be determined.
J. Johnson opined that there was no point in
denying extension of the permit but that the
city should continue to work with Seattle to
solve the problems of the operation. It was
determined by Mayor Hogan that a .meeting was
scheduled for tomorrow morning with Jerry Fair-
banks. Carey suggested that the matter be con-
tinued for two weeks, to allow discussion at the
meeting scheduled for Tuesday and that the city
insist that Seattle or Kent Highlands pay the
expenses of having the project monitored.
Elliott agreed with Carey noting that under
these circumstances the operation would have to
close between the expiration date of June 8 and
the next council meeting date of June 18. It
was determined that if the operation is shut down
even for this short time the city would be in-
convenienced as Kent' s contractor also uses this
landfill site. Mirk determined that a temporary
permit could be issued and that the city has
demands ready for tomorrow' s meeting. He noted
for Masters that the city could control what type
of material would be dumped at the site. B.
Johnson asked about the city' s liability and
Mirk stated that our liability would have to be
determined especially 'if the city monitored the
operation. B. JOHNSON MOVED that the hearing
be tabled to the next Council meeting on June 18
and that a temporary permit be issued to cover
the operation described under CD-SU-79-1, Carey
seconded. Motion carried with McCaughan voting
against.

VALLEY
Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. On May 21,
FLOOR 1979 , the Council held a public hearing on the
PLAN Valley Floor Plan amendment to the Kent Compre-
hensive Plan and at that time continued the hear-
ing to June 4 , with a work session to be held on
the Plan on May 29 . The continued hearing was
opened by the Mayor. A letter was presented to
the Mayor and Council and a copy to the Clerk for
the record by Dave Uhrich of Uplands Industries.
ELLIOTT MOVED that the letter be accepted and
made a part of the record, Carey seconded:
Motion carried. Uhrich noted that he agreed with
the purpose and scope of the Valley Floor Plan,
that it complimented the Comprehensive plan;
however, both plans are policy documents which
will serve as a guideline for all property owners
in the Valley. He noted that the Plan includes
property both inside and outside the city. He
raised questions over the boundaries proposed and
noted that -west of the Green River theoximate plan oes
not include any property north of approximately
South 200th Street and noted that if the area is
not to be included he believed that the City
should not consider any of the area for future
annexation; if the area will be considered for
future expansion by the City, it should be
addressed in the Valley Floor Plan. He also
questioned whether the City plans to extend
utility service to areas across the River and
suggested that if this is to be done it should
be included in the Plan. Uhrich then made refe-
rence to Economic Development, specifically to
Policy 2 of Objection 1, Goal 1, which states:
"Industrial development of MA designated land
should be phased to coincide with service growth. "
He questioned whether this meant the location of
the utilities or referred to other items. Refer-
ring to Policy 4 of Objective 3, Goal 1 , which
states "Promote industrial developments with open
space and sidewalks, " and noted they were assuming
the term "open space" which has several definitions
in the appendix to the Plan, referred to the area
specifically defined as "areas of man-made features
--streets, highways, canals , open yards, parking
lots, trails, alleys, landscaped area, parks and
10 -
June 4 , 1979
VALLEY recreational areas without structures, vacant
FLOOR lots. " He questioned whether the phrase meant
PLAN more than that referred to above. He also made
reference to Objective 1, Goal 4 , which states
"Provide for planned residential development
between industrial areas and the Green River.
and Policy 1, Objective 1, Goal 4 which states
"Encourage low density residential uses along
the Green River. He questioned the location
of the area referred to, and whether it meant
the area located south of S. 228th Street.
Referring to the Circulation Element of the Plan,
he noted that Policy 2 of Objective 2, Goal 1,
states "Encourage designation and/or dedication
of lands along the Green River as a green belt
and passive recreation corridor. " He stated
that it was felt that this was an essential
policy for the Valley Floor and should be more
fully defined in the formal plan. He suggested
that such a policy would best be served while
adhering to Objective 2, Goal 1, of the "Water-
ways Element" which states "Develop a land ac-
quisition program to preserve open space along
the Green River. and discourage non-recreational
development of waterways and natural wetlands.
He suggested that there were several different
types of wetlands and some were not good or suited
for recreation purposes. He asked that these
items be more fully clarified.
Bob DeBoer addressed the Council and noted that
he objected to the way his property would be
zoned if the Valley Floor Plan were adopted as
shown on the map. Curran referred to the fact
that the Plan included the hillsides of the City,
and also concurred that the Plan now does elimi-
nate Mr. DeBoer's present zoning. He suggested
that the plan was misleading to people with pro-
perty on the West Hill.
Harris suggested that the Valley Floor Plan was
intended to go part way up the West Hill and
north to Tukwila and that there could be an
June 4 , 1979
VALLEY error on the map. He also pointed out that
FLOOR this was not a zoning map. He noted that the
PAIN Planning Commission had spent over a year on
the Plan and that Uplands had attended many of
the meetings. McCaughan noted that several
persons were waiting for adoption of the plan
in order to proceed with rezone requests on S.
Central and questioned how long adoption of the
plan would be postponed. Harris noted that he
could not respond to the questions raised at
this time. In response to B. Johnson' s ques-
tion, Harris noted that it was the intent of
the Planning Commission that the Plan should
cover the area part way up the hillsides.
MASTERS MOVED to continue the public hearing
to June 18, Carey seconded, with further dis-
cussions to be held at the June 11 workshop.
Harris pointed out that letters such as that
presented by Uhrich should be delivered to the
staff members involved to afford an opportunity
for review of such letters. Motion carried.
PRELIMINARY Southcenter Corporate Park. A public meeting
PLAT was held before the Council on May 21, 1979 to
consider the Planning Commission' s recommenda-
tion on the Southcenter Corporate Park Prelimin-
ary Plat. At that time it was determined that
the Council would hold its own public hearing
this date to consider the plat. The public
hearing was opened by the Mayor. Harris pointed
out the location of the proposed plat. The 25
conditions recommended by the Planning Commission
and the 11 conditions as recommended by the
Shoreline Masters Program Hearing Board are con-
tained in the minutes of May 21, 1979 . A letter
was presented by Dave Uhrich of Upland Industries
regarding the conditions to which he had raised
questions at the last Council meeting. B. JOHNSON
MOVED that the letter be made a part of the
record, Carey seconded. Motion carried. Uhrich
noted that the 25 conditions to the approval of
the Preliminary Plat were set by the Planning
Commission on February 27, 1979 and referred again
to Conditions 6, 11, 14, 15 , and 24. Referring to
- 12 -
June 4 , 1979
PRELIMINARY Condition No. 6 Uhrich stated that negotiations
PLAT for the intertie with Tukwila should be the
City' s responsibility and the City should pay
for special meters. Ulett reported that his
May 30 memo recommends that Condition No. 6 be
changed as follows:
6) Install water mains to meet fire flow re-
quirements. A 12 inch water main shall
be installed on Russell Road and S . 196th
Street for the frontage of the plat. Re-
imburse Kent for providing an intertie
with the City of Tukwila water system. "
Ulett noted that there would be a water meter
involved. In response to B. Johnson' s question,
he stated that negotiations were already com-
plete with the City of Tukwila and an agreement
signed by them should be received by the City
on June 5. Ulett also recommended that Condition
No. 2 be changed to read:
"Russell Road and S . 196th Street shall be im-
proved to a 44-foot curb to curb street with a
60-foot right of way width and two 10-foot utility
easements, one on each side. The improvement and
right of way acquisition can be accomplished through
the LID process. "
Ulett pointed out that Condition No. 11 could be
eliminated as the revised Condition No. 2 covered
the referenced right of way.
Uhrich referred to Condition No. 14, which states
that the City will be granted a strip of land con-
sisting of the dike and an area 10 feet in width
on the land site of the dike. He noted that as
early as July of 1978 Uplands had offered to donate
property to the City consisting of a strip contain-
ing approximately 9 . 2 acres. He noted that Uplands
preferred to donate the property as this would re-
sult in a tax break, instead of giving it to the
City as a condition for plat approval. It was
determined by Mayor Hogan that a letter was on file
from Uplands stating that they would in fact donate
the property for park purposes.
13
June 4, 1979
PRELIMINARY Harris has recommended in his June 4 memo that
PLAT Conditions 15 .and 17 be consolidated to read:
"An additional 15 foot wide landscape buffer
strip will be provided by the applicant adjacent
to the 10 foot strip, and this landscape strip
will be landscaped by the subdivider with trees
or similar vegetation. The type of landscaping,
the height and the distance between plantings
is to be certified by a landscape architect and
is to be approved by the Planning Department.
The landscaping must be planted at one time,
prior to the issuance of a building permit for
any lot within the subdivision. "
Harris clarified that the major objective of the
condition was to insure that the landscaping
along the river would be done at one time in
order to preserve uniformity in growth and pro-
vide the buffer strip before development took
place.
Uhrich referred to Condition No. 24 and the sur-
face detention system, noting that Uplands fully
intends to comply with the City' s Surface Water
and Drainage Code and that the King County
Department of Hydraulics had indicated that the
P-2 channel would be completed in the near
future. He suggested that each lot. should have
a detention system designed for it and when
developed, the developer could then come to the
City with these plans for approval. Uhrich
introduced Brent Cummings, a civil engineer, who
has been conducting studies of the drainage sys-
tem for the park. He distributed copies of
sketches to the Council and gave an explanation
of his plans . Masters questioned where the water
would go if it would not go into pipes or the
system and Cummings noted that the water would
lie in the parking area until absorbed into the
system--probably 40 to 45 minutes. In response
to Elliott' s questions regarding a 20-year storm,
Cummings noted that the system could be calcu-
lated to any requirements and that it would be
14 -
June 4 , 1979
PRELIMINARY up to the individual developer to size the pipes
PLAT according to the lot size. Ulett clarified that
the ordinance refers to a 10 year storm. Uhrich
pointed out that if the completion of the channel
was delayed, the pipes could be oversized but at
great expense. Uhrich noted for Mayor Hogan that
their drainage studies had not been , completed.
Uhrich also noted for Cary that the developer
would be required to pay the maintenance costs
for the retention system.
Masters stated that she would like to see the
proposal clarified for the staff and Council be-
fore official approval of the plat and suggested
that this item be discussed at the next workshop.
In response to Mirk' s question as to when Upland' s
drainage studies would be completed, Uhrich noted
that they would abide by the results of the drain-
age studies underway by the City. Mirk noted
that a possible alternative would be to enter
into the same kind of agreement for this plat
that they plan for their rezone--to share in the
cost of the drainage study and adhere to the
recommendation for the area. Uhrich noted that
this would mean a six month delay and that he
would like to come to the work session to dis-
cuss the drainage system more thoroughly, par-
ticularly with regard to what would occur should
the studies show that the P-2 channel construction
would be delayed or could not accept additional
drainage.
Mayor Hogan questioned who was going to fund the
P-2 channel and noted that it was her understand-
ing that lcoal governments would be picking up
the funding. Cummings noted that he had talked
with SCS who stated that the EIS was being pre-
pared and that they were hopeful of obtaining
funds within the next year. Mayor Hogan noted
that she would be attending a Basin Executive
Committee meeting on Tuesday and would make fur-
ther inquiries. Harris noted that what Cummings
was discussing was the outlet channel from the
Black River. Pump Plant, and that the other channels
are still 3 to 5 years in the future. MASTERS
MOVED to table the matter to the June 18 meeting,
and to discuss it further at the work session,
B. Johnson seconded. Motion carried.

that Bill Elliott was in attendance at the last
meeting.
Public Safety Committee. Masters noted that
the Public Safety Committee would meet at 8 :00
a.m._ on Tuesday, June 5.
Administrative Reports. Cushing noted that 7
proposals were received on the Transportation
Plan, 13 on the Surface Water study, and 13 on
the Green River Corridor study. He also deter-
mined for McCaughan that the studies would be
reviewed within a week and that after the pro-
posals are narrowed down to three firms for
each, interviews will be held., and presentations
will be made.
