Mayor Hogan referred to adoption of the King County General Sewerage Plan scheduled for March 20. She noted that Councilpersons Masters and Mooney had also attended a Water Quality Committee meeting where amendments to the Plan which would take the responsibility of the County out of the incorporated areas with regard to extension of sewers were discussed. She noted that the amendments would still protect wetlands, flood plains and agricultural lands if they were annexed to the cities. The Mayor expressed con- cern that the Plan does not go far enough in identifying how Metro will provide service to all of the development anticipated. She noted that it appeared that the only way for Metro to obtain additional funds is to declare a crisis situation end then apply to EPA. She noted that this has been done previously for plans to expand the plant but that the earliest possible date for expansion will be in 1982. In the meantime, no provision is made in the Plan as to how or to whom service will be provided and that these need to be addressed. 2 - March 17, 197,0 WATER (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 51) LID 286 - 76th Avenue S.

TRAFFIC Amendment to Traffic Code - Parking of Trailers. CONTROL This date has been set for a public hearing to consider an amendment to the Kent Traffic Code relating to the parking of trailers and semi- trailers in the City rights-of-way. Acting Public Works Director Wickstrom explained that the pro- posed amendment was initiated because of semi- trailers being parked on City streets, particularly in industrial areas, for long periods of time. He proposed that a 24 hour time limit be imposed for this type of parking. The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. Dave Uhrich noted that developers were supposed to provide parking spaces and suggested that the ordinance should be more strict and prohibit parking at any time. There were no further com- ments and MOONEY MOVED that the public hearing be 4 March 17, 1980 TRAFFIC closed, J. Johnson seconded. Motion carried. CONTROL MOONEY MOVED that the City Attorney be directed to prepare an ordinance amending the. a­,%,.­a.f f ic Code relating to the parking of tra.i.lers and semi-trailers in City rights-of-way an. accor(la.�, with Wickstrom's recommendation, McCaughan secklrded. In response to McCaughan 's que.,,ition, Wickstrom noted that notice was given to the pub"Ac by means of newspaper legal publication after diSCUSS4.­11 of the matter at a Council workshop. Carey sug- gested that the Council should consider what Uhrich had said and MOVED TO AMEND 11HE MOTs 4 to state that the ordinance be prepared amending the Kent Traffic Code restricting parking for trailers and semi-trailers in City rights-of-way for load- ing and unloading purposes only. B. johnson seconded. Mayor Hogan clarified that is Motion as amended was then instructing the City At-torax:�y to include that provision in the prOpD.Sed, ordi-- nance. The amendment and motion carried. Mirk stated that the matter should be brought back to the workshop for further discussion by the Council and noted that he would have a draft of a proposed ordinance ready for the March 24 workshop. Amendment to Traffic Code - Removal of Parking Limitations on State Street. This date has been set for a public hearing to consider an amendment to the Kent Traffic Code relating to the removal of the parking limitations on the west side of State Street between Meeker and Smith. It was determined that the ordinance now provides for 2 hour parking on the west side of this block. The affected property owners have been notified by letter and publication of the public hearing notice. The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. Bill Elliott noted that he had expressed objections to this proposal in the past on behalf of Kent Drugs. He suggested that the Senior Citizens Center would like to have the parking available on this street but that their additional parking lot would soon be completed. He suggested that if the 2 hour 5 March 17, 1980 TRAFFIC parking limit is lifted the employees of Kent Medi64 CONTROL cal Center will utilize this street as they did when Ward Street was opened for parking. He noted that the Medical Center's parking slots were barely enought to supply parking spaces for the`_.-- employees and that the Center had as many as 200 patients per day. Elliott noted that Kent Medical Center was planning to enlarge their facilities and additional parking would be two blocks away. He suggested that few people would utilize that facility if parking were available on State Stree-5� , and further that unlimited parking would create a hardship for the residents involved. Richard Milden and Mrs. Gregg, long-time owner/ residents in this block, as well as a tenant of Mrs. Gregg 's, objected to the changes and Mrs. Gregg suggested that residents be provided with some kind of sticker for their cars so they could -_ utilize the parking spaces in front of their homes. Traffic Engineer Olson stated that the Police De- partment had advised against the identification stickers as it was difficult to enforce. B. Johnson. and Carey favored the idea of identification stickers for the residents of the five homes on State Street. Mirk commented that such action would be illegal since residents have no special rights to the parking area in front of their homes on the street. There were no further comments and MOONEY MOVED to close the public hearing, J. Johnson seconded. Motion carried. McCAUGHAN MOVED to leave the 2 hour parking restric- tion as it is, B. Johnson seconded. Motion carried, with Carey voting no. REZONES Reclassification Request of MTR Development. The recommendation of the Hearing Examiner to deny the request to rezone approximately 2.19 acres (MTR located at 10203 S.E. 240th, approximately 300 feet DEVELOPMENT) south of S.E. 240th, from R-1, Single Family Resi- dential, to O, Office and Professional, has been furnished to the Council and made a part of the 6 - March 17, 1980 REZONE official record. B. JOHNSON MOVED that the Hearing Examiner 's recommendation be acceptea (MTR and the rezone request of MTR Developr,';ont k-,e Development) denied, Carey seconded. Motion carri,,;d. (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5F) Arrow Development Rezone Ordinance,_p ADOPTION of ordinance No. 2215 for the rezone fox (Arrow Arrow Development which was approved, s-,,bject to Development) the Hearing Examiner ' s Conditions, at the March 3, 1980 Council meeting. CONDITIONAL Fiberchem, Inc. Conditional Use Permit Request. USE PERMIT Mirk noted that the Hearing Examiner ' s report on the approval of Fiberchem's Conditional Use Permit was erroneously listed as an agenda item for this meeting. He confirmed that conditional use permits are presented to the Council only if appealed. PRELIMINARY (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5j) PLATS Evergreen Hills. APPROVAL of the request for a one-year time extension for the completion of the Evergreen Hills Preliminary Plat. The current .(Evergreen deadline for recording of the plat is April. 2, Hills) 1980 and the Council may grant a time extension not to exceed one year. Foster Preliminary Plat. The sequence of events surrounding this 19-lot industrial plat wzas pre- sented as follows: 7/24/79 Planning Commission recommends to the C3.ty Council denial based on inadequate ingress (Foster) and egress. 8/20/79 City Council sets September 4, 1979 as the date for a public meeting to consider the Foster Plat. 9/4/79 Public meeting held. The City Council, after hearing input from staff and developer, moved to hold a public hearing on October 15, 1979 after the Shoreline Management Committee had taken action on the pending Shoreline Management Substantial Develop- ment permit application. These minutes 7 March 17, 1980 PRELIMINARY also reflect that the Planning Stiff PLATS recommended approval of the plat.- provided that the recommendations of the Engineering Department, as listed, were made a part of the approval. 10/5/79 Hearing on Shoreline Management Substan- tial Development permit applicat-ion held. Approval was given for an 18 inch storm water drainage pipe to discharge storm water into the Green River. It was noted that the Foster Preliminary Plat itself did not lie within 200 feet of the Green River. 10/15/79 Public Hearing held to consider -the Foster Plat. The hearing was continued until an environmental impact statement was prepared. 11/16/79 State of Washington certifies the Shore- (Foster) line Management Substantial Development permit as being approved. 1/21/80 Draft Environmental Impact Statement prepared and circulated. 3/7/80 Final Environmental Impact Statement pre- pared and circulated. 3/17/80 Continuation of public hearing from October 15, 1979. The continued public hearing was opened by Mayor Hogan. It was noted that the Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statements have been distributed and made a part of the official record. Harris exhibi- ted a map showing the 19 lots of the plat. Dick Chapin, attorney for Mr. Foster, noted that the question was which access would be the best solution and introduced Dan Dawson, traffic engi- neer for the project. Dawson described the two proposed access alternates: 1) Use of Willis Street, feeding from S. 4th. 2) Establish a new connection from W. Willis to SR 516 for all traffic movements and close the existing W. Willis Street grade crossing. It was determined that this new connection would be between the Union Pacific tracks and SR 167. - 8 - March PRELIMINARY Dawson noted that the proposed project wou:,' PLATS generate about 2, 000 cars per day and Cl aa:in noted that most of these would be for employ=� He stated further that most of the larger would be of the delivery van type. D m'son 1.r- te-3 that the Department of Transportation would to approve a new connection and that if W l]...is Street was used the problem of tmo railroad ca:,os ,.. ings existed and one would have to be dated and signals installed. He noted that there would also be some backup of traffic from the Sout'. approach and further stated that the cost would be about the same for either alternative a - 1 that either one would satisfy -the accessa�e-- ments. Chapin asked for deletion of the requ:irem,.'.at th.at the developer improve the North half of S. 2"r9-_:-h (Foster) Street and the improvement of 74th Avenue S. south of Lot 19 because of the poor condition of the underpass. He noted that lot 1 would be used as a detention pond and the lot to the west is not a part of this plat. He suggested, inst-ea;:3 of these requirements, that the City impose �;he condition that these improvements would be covered in the future under an LID. He opined that appro- val of the access to SR 516 made better sense. Judy Omarr noted that the only access to the plat would be through the neighborhood and the safety factor should be considered. Lee Omarr questioned whether large trucks could make the turn from SR 516. Laurel Whitehurst noted that the existing early morning traffic coming off 516 was heavy now and that the additional traffic generated by the plat would cause considerable buildup. Helen Brooks noted that there were approximately 50 children between 1st and 6th grade who con- stantly used the green strip on Willis Street and expressed concern for their safety if 2,000 more cars per day were to be channelled through this residential neighborhood. She noted further that the Comprehensive Plan states that through routes should be located outside of residential 9 - March 17, 1980 PRELIMINARY neighborhoods. Ms. Harris noted that a recent PLAT survey of the area showed that most of the homes were occupied by the owners and that they were in favor of less traffic in the neighborhood. Don Harris commented on the problems a long trailer would have trying to turn at Willis. Dawson stated that 95% of the traffic would be coming from west of the plat via SR 167 or SR 516; therefore, left turns to the plat from 516 would be very few and that there was enough space in the median to provide a left turn storage lane. Chapin reiterated that the proposed use was in accordance with the current zoning and ,further that the area could be developed without platting it. Judy Omarr noted that the Jones & Jones report _ (Foster) would recommend that the lower seven lots of the plat be retained for a green belt near the river. A show of hands indicated about 30 residents of the area were in attendance. There were no further comments and B. JOHNSON MOVED to close the public hearing. J. Johnson seconded. Motion carried. MATERS MOVED that the Foster Preliminary Plat be approved, B. Johnson seconded. It was clarified that the conditions listed in the September 4, 1979 Council minutes on pages 12 and 13 were to be a part of the approval and that this would approve the use of W. Willis. Dawson advised Masters that the excessive cost would prevent going under the tracks to avoid an on-grade crossing. Carey stated that the only access which would not impact a residential area was to establish the new access to 516 and that he was in favor of this. Upon McCaughan's question, Wickstrom stated that the State would probably approve a new access to 516 since it would not be an arterial street, just a local road, and that the cost of a signal at over $100, 000 at the new access would be borne by the 10 - March 1-11, 1"70 PRELIMINARY City unless it was made a requirement of the PLATS plat. He noted that right now there was no need for a signal but after 516 is connect-ed there will be 29, 000 vehicles per day throac'.. there. McCaughan asked about"ig'31t -,urns for access going East off 516 --r.d Ea--� =wound coming out with no left turns ;and no cros--lixiq of the median. Wickstrom determined that would include disconnecting old Willis Stx'ee - and that what McCaughan suggested would mitigate some of the problems but this would cause to circle through town. Harris noted for J. Johnson that the, lower 7 1 --tz (all North of S. 259th) fall witbi'll 1.000 feet of the river and that while the Corridor Plan does not say these lots cannot be developed, the Plan would spell out what should be happenj.nka to this land in relation to the river. B. noted that the area South of S. 259th had been dropped from this plat proposal but that one of the principals had stated that they will come back later with a proposal for these lots. He stated that the City should make an effort to retain those lots for riverfront property. B. JOHNSON proposed an amendment to Condition No. 4 to strike the part relating to improving W. Willis from 4th Avenue to 7th Avenue and to state that the only access be to SR 516 wiei signalization and full. street improvement,- Masters seconded the proposed amendment. McCaughas, stated that he would not support anything that would cause traffic to back up possibly to the tracks or any proposal which would allow access going west on 516 to turn south on to the new proposed street. Carey concurred with McCaughan, noting that we want to close old Willis crossing and allow only right turns for ingress and egress to the plat. J. Johnson supported B. Johnson's proposal, noting that if left turns were prohibited, the traffic would be circled around through town. march 17, 1.950 PRELIMINARY Upon Mooney ' s question, Dawson acknowledged tA-1t PLATS allowing only right turns would hinder develop- ment of the plat. Chapin asked that the Coup,,',,.1 consider interim use of Willis why le wa-4-ting fo:L: State approval for a new access, and tho Councc '1 determined that the access road would have to sue worked out before permits would be issued for the. plat. Mooney concurred with only allowing right turns off and onto SR 516. B. JOHNSON WITHDREW HER PROPOSED AMENDMENT. CAREY MOVED for an amendment to strike the portion of Condition No. 4 referring to improving W. Willis Street from 4th Avenue to 74th, that we go along (Foster) with the new connection to SR 516, allowing right turns only for ingress and egress, and that tht? railroad crossing on old W. Willis Street be closed--all at the expense of the developer. McCaughan seconded. The question of access for emergency vehicles was discussed, noting that the main fire station was in this area. Chief Foster noted that the new trucks could not •I:urn on S. 259th. Various alternatives were suggested for ways of allowing fire trucks to use W. Willis. Carey proposed to include in his amendment that some access for emergency vehicles be worked out to the satisfaction of the Fire Department and staff before approval of the plat. McCaughan, who seconded the original amendment, concurred. MASTERS PROPOSED ANOTHER AMENDMENT to require that the developer agree to participate in a future LID for full street improvements for S . 259th, B. Johnson seconded . Carey and McCaughan spoke against this amendment noting that S. 259th should be improved now as many people would be using this street. Only B. Johnson and Masters supported the proposed amendment and it FAILED. Clarification was given that a portion of Condition No. 4 required improvements to S . 259th. Carey ' s amendment CARRIED unanimously. Mirk asked if the Council wished to address the matter of open space, noting that no such provision 12 - March 17, 1930 PRELIMINARY had been made and that consideration of open PLAT space was required for plat approval by State law. B. Wilson noted that this had been discussed with the developer for the portion South of S. 259th but that this area had then been withdrawn from the plat. It was determined that proviso_ for open space was not included in the conditions listed in the September 4, 1979 Council minutes on pages 12 and 13. B. JOHNSON MOVED FOR RECONSIDERATION of the motion just passed, Carey seconded. Motion carried. (Foster) B. JOHNSON MOVED for a short recess, McCaughan seconded. Motion carried. The meeting was reconvened after 15 minutes. McCaughan suggested that the staff and developers could come back later with recommendations regard- ing open space. He then MOVED that the Foster Preliminary Plat be approved with the conditions listed on pages 12 and 13' of the September 4, 1979 Council minutes, PLUS Carey' s amendment as stated on page 12 of these minutes PLUS the provision for the staff to bring back a recommendation for open space for this plat. Carey seconded. Mirk clari- fied that the question of whether dedication of open space would be required was the only item which would be further considered by the Council and that this would be done at the next Council meeting. Motion CARRIED unanimously. FIRE Open Burning. A public hearing has been set for DEPARTMENT this meeting to consider Chief Foster's recommenda- tion to permit open burning under certain conditions. Chief Foster explained the present and past rules imposed in the area regarding open burning by the Air Pollution Control Agency. He referred to the increasing costs of the annual Spring Clean-up and proposed attempts to find a way to remedy the situation. Upon questions from the Council, he explained that the suggestion was to allow open burning for one weekend per year for certain areas _ of the City. He noted that the burning would be 13 - March. 1.7, 1980 FIRE limited to natural vegetation such as trees, shriihs,. DEPARTMENT etc. , would be held in the month of Apri.14 and wo°.:0 d require a permit from the Fire Department. He noted that present plans were to set aside the first week•- end, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, for the West-. Hill area, the second weekend for the Valley Floor, Che third weekend for the East Hill and Scenic Tiill areas, and the 4th weekend to accommodate areas for which burning could not be accomplished because of inclement weather. He noted that there would be some restrictions on the size of the lot, and that Resolution No. 720 prohibiting burning would have to be repealed and the proposals set forth in a new Resolution. The public hearing was opened by the Mayor. There:: were no comments or questions from the audience and no correspondence was noted. CAREY MOVED that the hearing be closed, B. Johnson seconded. Motion carried. B. JOHNSON MOVED to approve the Fire Chief's recommendations and for the City Attorney to prepare the necessary documents reflecting the changes. Carey seconded. Upon Masters ' question, Foster stated he did not recommend allowing burning in the Fall for burning leaves. He suggested that it cost more to investigate all the complaints and people were being urged to mulch their leaves. In response to McCaughan' s question, Foster noted that the burning would be authorized by permit only, that the size of the piles would be limited to 4 ' x 4 ' x 4 ' with only one such fire actually burning at a time. Motion carried. FIRE CODE On March 3, 1980, Ordinance No. 2212 was passed by SPRINKLERS the Council adopting the 1979 Fire Code, and amend- ments thereto, which required sprinkler systems for commercial and industrial buildings and further, 'that sprinkler systems be required in all buildings of 6, 000 or more square feet. At the March 10, 1980 workshop representatives of the Creekside Apartments development asked the Council to set aside the ordi- nance for 30 or 45 days. Rod Hoover, one of the principals in the Creekside - 14 - March 17, 19GG FIRE CODE development, stated that he was seeking a va.r.3-ance SPRINKLERS for this development or an amendment to the. ordi- nance to exempt multi-familY Wits- He noted that the cost of this complex would be would yield a 5% return per year, but ing the sprinklers, the cost would be $823, 0014,), with only a 3.4/ rate of return. He opined that this requirement would make it economically unfeasible to build apartment complexes in Kent and commented on the need for apartments. He further noted that it costs more to put the sprinkler systems ill apartment complexes than it does to put them into industrial or commercial buildings. Brian Cason, architect, stated that John Hatfield of the ICBO had stated that over the past five years statistics have shown that smoke detectors have saved more lives than sprinkler systems. Mayor Hogan noted that a public hearing had been held on February 19 and that the ordinance was passed on March 3, 1980, had been published and was already in effect. There were no comments from the Council. No action was taken and the Mayor then proceeded to the next order of buEiness.
