Masters suggested that there may be obst�adcles_ ; n ) % :1 such a project, especially in light of'►�thA spur crossings allowed in the area. n responseL , to Masters ' questions about item No. noted that the crossing would be gated and funded under a Federal grant. He also noted for McCaughan that Traffic Engineer Ed Olson was instrumental in obtaining the grants for railroad crossing improvements which had recently been accomplished. McCaughan commended Olson for his excellent efforts and results in this regard. Paul Lorenz referred to item No. 3, suggesting that this project should be given a high priority since it would take traffic from North Central and James Street. Ulett concurred but clarified that this is a State project. Mayor Hogan noted that repair of various streets in the core area has been the subject of staff discus- sion in recent weeks and suggested that the matter be brought back to the Council at a later date with a view to providing funds for such projects in next year 's Street Department budget. In response to Masters ' further questions, Ulett noted that all projects were dependent upon funding. There were no further comments and B. JOHNSON MOVED that the hearing be closed, Elliott seconded. 6 - July 2, 1979 STREETS Motion carried. B. JOHNSON MOVED that the City Attorney be directed to prepare a resolution adopting the proposed Six Year Comprehensive Arterial Street Plan, Masters seconded. Motion carried. RAILROAD S. 208th Crossing. A petition has been filed by the CROSSING Washington Utilities & Transportation Commission requesting closure of the S. 208th Burlington- Northern Railroad crossing. The Council has pre- viously taken the position that the crossing should not be closed until an alternate route to the area served by the crossing has been established. Resolution No. 872 was introduced by the City Attorney for submittal to the Washington Utilities & Transportation Commission, opposing the closure. McCAUGHAN MOVED for the adoption of Resolution No. 872, Elliott seconded. Masters noted that many of the original property owners who had protested the closure of the crossing in the past no longer lived in the area and questioned the necessity of keeping it open, noting the hazardous conditions - that now exist at that site. Mirk noted that the Fire Department did not want the crossing closed until an alternate route has been established. A representative of some of the industries in the area noted that closure of the crossing would have an adverse effect, not only on the industries loca- ted in the area but on property values in the area. He suggested that the City consider adding stronger language to the proposed resolution and also asked that consideration be given to making the crossing safer. Motion carried, with Masters voting nay. VALLEY FLOOR (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5C) PLAN Amendment to the Kent Comprehensive Plan. PASSAGE of Resolution No. 873 adopting the Valley Floor Plan amendment to the Kent Comprehensive Plan. ZONING CODE Landscapinq Requirements. Receipt of a letter from AMENDMENTS Mel Kleweno, President, Kent Chamber of Commerce, was noted by the Clerk, in which letter the Chamber' s Special Task Force requested a delay by the Council until August 6, 1979 to consider the proposed revisions 7 - ju l_y 2, ?919 ZONING CODE to the landscaping requirements. MASTERS .MOVED AMENDMENT to accept the letter, B. Johnson seconded . It was noted by Curran that the Chamber had changed its meeting date to July 11 and that no c>!-jec- tions would be raised to holding the public hearing on July 16 as planned. Motion carried. KENT CITY Amendments . On June 19, 1979 the Planning Commis- CODES sion held a public hearing to consider amending applicable sections of the following Ci.t�, of Kent Codes to provide for the implementation (,f the Hearing Examiner System for the City of Kent: 1) ZONING CODE 2) SUBDIVISION CODE 3) MOBILE HOME PARK CODE 4) RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARK CODE 5) SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM The Planning Commission ' s written recommeri, -3' inn listing the sections of each Code to be i - f ded has been made a part of the record.

JOHNSON MOVED that the amendmeiii:s to the Zoning Code, Subdivision Code, Mobi.ls- icmt Park Code, Recreation Vehicle Park Code, Shoreline Master Program be approved as r< r•cammended by the Planning Commission, Masters 5e condo . Motion carried. SPECIAL USE Kent Highlands, Inc. - CD-SU-79-1 . On May 72, 1979 COMBINING the Planning Commission held a hearing to consider DISTRICT continuing a Special Use Combining District for Kent Highlands, Inc. for a grading and fil-ling operation on a 400-acre site zoned RA, CC & MR-M. The Planning Commission recommended approval with nine conditions , which are listed in the ,.7une 4, 1979 Council minutes. The public hearing before the council was continued from June 4 to the Council meeting of June 18, was subsequently continued - 8 - July 2, . 1979 SPECIAL USE again to this meeting, and a temporary permit was COMBINING issued. The matter was discussed at the workshop DISTRICT of June 11 and again at the June 25 workshop after the City Council toured the landfill site. The City of Seattle has leased a portion of the Kent Highlands property and is using it for a sanitary landfill. The landfill operation is adjacent to the property under consideration now for continua- tion of the special use permit. The permit, origi- nally issued June 8, 1971, under Board of Adjustment Resolution No. 71-2, has allowed cover material from the mining site to be used for the landfill operation without transporting it over public roads. The permit expired on June 8, 1979. The continued public hearing was opened by Mayor Hogan. Mirk distributed copies of a document entitled "Proposed Conditions for Kent Highlands Grading & Landfill Operations, " consisting of three (KENT pages, and having attached to it a copy of the HIGHLANDS, Planning Commission recommendations as previously _ INC.) listed in the June 4 Council minutes. Cushing noted that the conditions had been drafted by the staff after reviewing previous Council action with regard to the mining operation, to the sanitary landfill and the relationship between the two. McCaughan questioned tying the mining operation to conditions for the landfill operation. Mirk noted that the two were closely tied together by way of the conditions, at least until the landfill is complete, but that they could be treated separately. Mayor Hogan noted that the original conditions re- quired that the cover for the landfill come from the mining site. B. Johnson noted that the handout provided by Mirk suggested that the temporary permit be extended for 120 days and then listed additional conditions. She stated that she preferred to see a shorter period proposed and to observe whether the situation at the landfill improved. Mirk noted that the 120 day time frame was a result of information from Seattle that the leachate pond could be covered in 90 days and 120 days allowed an extra margin of 30 days. It was thought that this was a reasonable approach to suggest to the Council. j - 9 - July 2, 1979 SPECIAL USE Masters questioned as to why there wasn' t some COMBINING coordination between the amount mined and the DISTRICT amount supplied to the landfill for cover each day. Mirk noted that both the mining operation and landfill are tied to certain contour require- ments which could mean that grading might still be continued after the landfill project was finished. Mirk noted that whatever conditions were imposed would be enforced as the City intended to have the site monitored daily. Upon McCaughan ' s ques- tions about Ordinance No. 1390 which listed condi- tions for sanitary landfills, Mirk noted that this had been repealed by the new Zoning Ordinance (1827) passed in 1973, and that landfill operations were now covered in Ordinance No. 1827 as Special Use Combining Districts. McCaughan stated that contour maps should have been made available to the Council (KENT before this. HIGHLANDS, INC. )IGHMr. Euteneier commented on the list of conditions _ distributed tonight, noting that four two foot layers would be allowed to be compacted before a one foot cover had to be placed over it. He noted no reference to the dust problem, and stated that the odor was not from the leachate pond, so covering the pond would not eliminate the odor. Mirk reported that proposed Condition No. 5 (a,b,c) providing for . . . . .layers no deeper than two feet, thoroughly compacted before additional layers are added, and no more than four such compacted layers allowed without a one foot cover,_complies with the new recommended method for landfills and are the same as those required by the State and the King County Health Department. Lloyd Erdahl stated that the odor was not from the leachate pond but was coming from the top. Frank Lee and Paul Lorenz also complained about the odor. Ginny Erdahl noted that those in the area who had allergies had found them to be worse due to the noxious gases. Her letter on this matter was made a part of the record by motion. Judy Dexter 10 - July 2, 1979 SPECIAL USE suggested that the landfill be shut down for 120 COMBINING days and that the site be cleaned up before a new DISTRICT special use permit is considered. She noted that there was always raw garbage to be seen, so obviously the original conditions for covering it each day had been ignored. Paul Dexter noted that EPA and King County Air Pollution Control had fined the operators more than once but that occasional fines of $100 were not tough enough to remedy the situation. Upon a question from the audience, Mayor Hogan noted that the inspector for this operation would report infrac- tions of conditions to the City and that closure of the landfill would then be up to the Council. She noted that the City had attempted to close the landfill recently and that the courts had not permitted the site to be closed. Cushing pointed out that the conditions could include authority for the inspector to levy a monetary (KENT fine per violation, per day, and that this could HIGHLANDS, be made a part of the ongoing permit. The Mayor INC.) noted that the court had found that Kent Highlands and the City of Seattle had made a reasonable effort to determine the cause of the odor and how to cope with it. Mirk noted that the inspector could be authorized to close the operation immedi- ately upon finding a violation and pointed out that we do not know for sure exactly what is causing the odor, and that even with full compli- ance with all conditions, the landfill might still have an offensive odor. He clarified that noncom- pliance would cause the site to be shut down, but the presence of the odor was not sufficient cause to close the fill site. Erdahl and Lee agreed that neither wanted the landfill closed permanently but that they wanted the proper cover placed over the garbage every day to hold down the smell. Chet Spurgeon stated that the temporary permit should not be extended 120 days, that it should be denied now. He pointed out that the landfill had been in existence for 12 years and since it had never been properly managed in all that time, there was no reason to believe that everything July 2, 1979 SPECIAL USE would now be done in accordance with the condi- COMBINING tions. He stated there was no way to eliminate DISTRICT the smell no matter how much cover was placed over it. James Curran, attorney for Kent Highlands, intro- duced three maps which he had shown at the Planning Commission hearing: 1) Contour map of upper plateau, 2) Upper plateau with cut control, and 3) map show- ing the boundaries of the Kent Highlands property. MASTERS MOVED to accept the maps as a part of the record, Elliott seconded. Motion carried. Curran noted that he had nDt had a chance to study the proposed condition: which were distributed this evening. He noted that the conditions for the sanitary landfill w,yre established under Resolution No. 59 of the Board of Adjustment in December, 1966. Curran pointed out that there was no reference to operating such a project without an odor and that the Resolution states that the operation will be safe, sanitary and policed. He further noted that (KENT there was no time l,ntit spelled out for the project HIGHLANDS , to be completed but that good judgment dictates INC. ) that the landfill b,:• completed. He stated that Kent Highlands and the City of Seattle and the City of Kent must cc.operate and that Kent Highlands and Seattle had stated that they would cover the leachate pond within 90 days . He questioned that a temporary permit was proper, noting that he found no provision for it in the Code and stated that the City should either grant the permit with condi- tions or deny it. He noted the two year contract between Kent Highlands and Seattle and stated that the City would interfere with this contract if the permit was denied. Curran stated that he thought they were dealing with the permit for mining and grading and noted that the only complaints about the grading operation were about dust. He expressed Kent Highland's willingness to comply with reason- able conditions, including those of the Planning Commission, and expressed concern as to whether the City could legally impose some of the conditions proposed. Upon the Mayor' s question, Curran clari- fied that his position was that the conditions did not relate to the mining permit. 12 - July 2, 1979 SPECIAL USE Masters commented that after the City's attempt COMBINING to close the site and the subsequent court action, DISTRICT that the City of Seattle should have realized that Kent planned serious action, but they had made no move to participate in any of the hearings. Curran stated that he doubted that Seattle had seen these proposed conditions. Mirk clarified for the Mayor that it was perfectly legal to extend the temporary permit for 120 days if the Council so wished. There were no further comments and B. JOHNSON MOVED to close the hearing, Elliott seconded. Motion carried. McCAUGHAN MOVED to deny Kent Highland's application to renew the mining permit, Masters seconded, and gave the following reasons for closing the landfill: (KENT landfills should be outlawed, there has been no HIGHLANDS, improvement of the operation since the Council INC. ) visited the site a week ago, restrictions on what may be done with the site after it is filled due to settling and odor, violations could occur without the knowledge of the inspector, and that controls were difficult to formulate when the exact causes of the problems were not known. She noted also that two more years of the landfill operation would constitute additional abuse to the community. B. Johnson noted that Seattle had not followed the rules for the past twelve years and the operation had not improved since the temporary permit had been issued. She stated that the site would have been filled by now if the required 6 inches of cover had been added every day in accordance with the original conditions, and noted further that 6,000 citizens protested this project 12 years ago. McCaughan observed that a 22-year gravel and mining permit was like an open ended permit and that scars left on the land by other mining operations in the City had finally started to revegetate. He objected to the State guidelines of 8 feet of compacted garbage being covered by only 1 foot of dirt. Mirk opined that the applicant. Kent Highlands, should still be entitled to make a presentation on the mining opera- tion itself, disconnected from the landfill operation - 13 - July 2, 1979 SPECIAL USE if they so desire and that the mining operation COMBINING should be allowed to continue long enough to place DISTRICT cover on the garbage already placed in the land- fill site. He pointed out that the City had not yet started to consider the application in terms of what the applicant plans to do with the mining site when they are through. Upon the Mayor's question, Mirk noted that covering (KENT the existing material in the landfill was the res- HIGHLANDS, ponsibility of Seattle. MASTERS MOVED TO A14END INC.) the motion to accommodate Kent Highlands to allow completion of the contour agreement provided that material does not go on the sanitary landfill site other than that necessary for a final cap over the existing garbage, subject to any conditions imposed by the Council on the mining operation, B. Johnson seconded. Amendment carried unanimously. Elliott noted that Seattle is now aware that Kent is linking the mining operation with the landfill and that Resolutions 59 and 71-2 of the Board of Adjustment and Ordinance No. 1390 which established _ the original conditions, must be studied again by all concerned. Motion, as amended, carried unani- mously. MIDWAY At the request of McCaughan, Cushing noted that the LANDFILL matter of the Midway Landfill Site would be discussed SITE at the Council workshop of July 23, with a public hearing to be held the first week in August, if necessary, to review the operation.
