PLAN AND On May 11, 1982, the Planning Commission completed EIS the review of the East Hill Plan and recommended approval. The Plan was reviewed by the City Council on a workshop/tour on May 26, 1982. A public hearing was scheduled for June 7, 1982 and continued to the June 21st Council meeting to allow further discussion at the workshop on June 14 . After receiving input on June 21, the public hearing was further discussed at the June 28th workshop. A packet of information dated June 30 was distributed from the Planning Department. The public hearing was reopened by Mayor Hogan. Correspondence distributed to the Council and filed for the record was acknowledged as follows: Letter from William Turnidge received July 2 Letter from Gary Hall received June 30 Letter from Charles Bolz received June 30 Associate Planner Jim Hansen referred to the changes to the goals, objectives and policies proposed by the Chamber of Commerce, and the staff recommendation for each change proposed by the Chamber . After some discussion and some proposed motions, it was decided that motions would be withdrawn and withheld and the public hearing kept open, thus allowing input from the audience. The Chamber of Commerce has proposed 25 changes to the text, each of which was considered by the Council. THE WORDS IN ITALICS DESIGNATE CHANGES IN WORDING PROPOSED BY THE CHAMBER AND THE UNDERLINED WORDS DESIGNATE THE ADDITIONS PROPOSED BY THE CHAMBER. - 5 - July 6, 1982 EAST HILL PLAN AND EIS Natural Environment Element Page 30 : Goal 3 , Objective 1 , Policy 2 Require building setbacks , limits on vegetation removal and other appropriate design and construction controls for develop- ment adjacent to streams , lakes and wetland areas to protect water quality, minimize erosion and sedimentation, and preserve natural drainage and wildlife habitat. Chamber of Commerce revision: Establish building setbacks , where appropriate . . . . Recommendation: Retain present wording. However, use of the term "establish" is acceptable. The words , "where appropriate" are redundant. Kelleher suggested that after the words "water quality" that the following phrase be added. . . "when other ir^pact mitigating measure are not practical" . Upon Bailey' s question, Kelleher explained that his intent was to clarify since someone would have to inter- pret this, either the Hearing Examiner or the Council and that he would propose to delete the words "where appropriate" . The Council was in general agreement with the exception of B. Johnson. Barney Wilson and Iry Hamilton objected to deleting the word "Require" . Page 30 : Goal 3 , Objective 1, Policy 3 Require additional development restrictions , were necessary, to avoid degradation to any water supporting salmon or trout as identified by the Washington State Department of Fisheries and Game and/or the City of Kent Planning Department. Chamber of Commerce revision: Encourage. . . . Recommendation: Retain present wording. Citizens who served on the Natural Environment Committee expressed strong opinions regarding the wording of this and other policy statements. In their opinion, "encouragement" has not resulted in adequate protection of local fisheries . The present wording of this policy is consistent with current city requirements . 6 - July 6, 1982 EAST HILL PLAN AND EIS Kelleher suggested that the word "Require" be changed to "develop for Council approval" . The Council was in agreement except for B. Johnson and J. Johnson. Page 31 : Goal 3 , Objective 1 , Policy 6 Retain in a natural state wetlands having value for storm water drainage and flood control , water quality protection and wild- life habitat. Chamber of Commerce revision: Acquire and retain in a. . . . Recommendation: Retain present wording. Other policy statements included in the Natural Environment Element (see page 29 , Objective 3 and Policy 1 under Objective 3) address the issue of acquisition. The intent of this policy is to promote compatible development approaches when acquistion of a valuable wetland is not feasible. As indicated in other National Environment policy statements, building setbacks, site layout, limiting removal of vege- tation and other building design or construction measures may be appropriate. 7elleher onine-1 that t?^e Council should identify the wetlands referred to. Bailey feared that Kelleher' s Proposal would liberalize the Policy contrary to the wishes of the residents of the area. Kelleher stated it was not his intent to water down the policy, that he favored the wetlands being identified and then a strategy developed for preserving such wetlands. He opined further that this would strengthen the plan even though some of the area was not within the city limits. Leahy suggested that some of these ideas should be accomplished by ordinance or zoning laws and should not be done by removing language from this planning document. Bailey opined that staff could be asked to include changes in the zoning code. Iry Hamilton agreed with Kelleher that the Council should make the plan workable so that the Hearing Examiner would know what the Council had in mind. Chuck Bolz noted that he had served on the Public Facilities Committee and that the wording was care- fully chosen, and that Kelleher ' s proposal seemed to suggest that the plan be rewritten. Barney Wilson noted that a past development had stripped the vegetation at 104th and S.E. 260th. Cushing noted that the staff could go over the council ' s con- cerns and report back with more information, as was done on the Valley Studies . Kelleher concurred with this suggestion. - 7 - July 6, 1982 EAST HILL PLAN AND EIS Housing Element Page 37 , OVERALL GOAL: ASSURE PRESENT AND FUTURE EAST HILL RESIDENTS HOUSING THAT IS SAFE, OFFERS A DESIRABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT, AND IS SUPPORTED BY ADEQUATE COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES. Chamber of Commerce revision: . . . . housing that is affordable, . . . . Recommendation: The proposed addition of the word, "affordable" is inappropriate and unnecessary. Goal 2 of the Housing Element promotes "diverse housing opportunity. " Objective 1 under Goal 2 states : "Provide a variety of housing types , densities and prices. " Kelleher favored the Chamber ' s proposed addition of the word "affordable" . B. Johnson objected, noting that "affordable" meant different things to each nerson, and that the staff refe- rence to "diverse housing opportunity" covered this. Sally Clarke of the Mueller Group noted that she had suggested, at the last meeting, that an additional policy be included covering specific developments with unique characteristics . Hansen noted that this was covered elsewhere in the plan, on page 39 , policy 1. Transportation Element Page 47 , Goal 3 : Establish and maintain the highest feasible level of service for East Hill . Chamber of Commerce revision: . . . . the highest practical and realistic level. . . . Recommendation: Retain present wording. Use of the term, "feasible" implies "practical and realistic . " Webster ' s Dictionary defines the word "feasible" as follows : "Capable of being done or carried out; practicable , possible . . . " There were no comments. 8 - July 6, 1982 EAST HILL PLAN AND EIS Page 47 : Goal 3 , Objective 1, Policy 2 : Require all developers to mitigate their development' s impact on traffic. Chamber of Commerce revision: work with all developers to minimize their development' s impact on arterial flow. Recommendation: Substitution of the words , "work with" and "minimize" is acceptable. Substitution of "arterial flow" for "traffic" is not acceptable. Citizen Advisory Committee members expressed concern about the general impacts of development upon traffic. Iry Hamilton suggested that the staff ' s recommendation be accepted and the Council expressed general approval. Public Facilities and Services Element Page 56 , GOAL 1 : Adequate sewer service for existing development ana those areas adjacent to the collec- tion system prior to expanding the system. Chamber of Commerce revision: Ensure adequate sewer . . . Recommendation: Retain present wording as it is compatible with the wording of other goal statements in the Public Facilities and Services Element. Suzette Cooke noted that the word "ensure" was suggested as a means of making the sentence complete. Page 57 , Goal 1, Objective 1, Policy 3 : Developments that would utilize existing sewer facilities should have preference for special permit approval over developments that require new facilities . Chamber of Commerce revision : Delete. Recommendation: Deletion of this policy is acceptable . No comments. 9 - July 6, 1982 EAST HILL PLAN AND EIS Page 57 , Goal 1, Objective 1 , Policy 4 : The funding of sewer projects in and around the east side of Kent shall have priority over projects which extend into previously undeveloped areas . Chamber of Commerce revision: The public funding . . . Recommendation : Retain present wording. Excluding privately funded sewer projects from the policy statement would contra- dict the Citizen Advisory Committee ' s intent as stated in the overall goal for the Public Facilities and Services Element: "The Public Facilities and Services for East Hill should be cost effective to implement and maintain and should promote in-fill and phased development from existing developed areas. " As noted in the draft East Hill Plan document , "the provision of sewers is a major factor influencing the timing and loca- tion of new development. The presence of sewers in or near rural areas often results in continued pressures for conversion to suburban development. When utilities are available , outlying areas become attractive as locations for new develop- ment because of lower initial land acquisition costs and the ease of assembling tracts of adequate size for development . Scattered subdivisions separated by vacant or sparsely developed areas have characterized much recent development within unincorporated portions of the East Hill area . Pro- viding public utilities and services for scattered development is costly. Unnecessary public costs result when there are demands for public expenditures to provide , maintain or improve public facilities and services while existing facili- ties are not utilized at capacity. " Upon Kelleher ' s c+uestion, TTickstrom and *'arris exnlalned the city Dolicv for sewer extensions. Heavev pointed out that pri- vately installed lines are sometimes taken over by the city for maintenance and so public funds can be involved. The Council was in general agreement to leave out the word "public" and to add "extension of sewer service" . Iry Hamilton suggested the phrase "East Hill Study area" be used. 10 - July 6 , 1982 EAST HILL PLAN AND EIS Page 58 , Goal 2, Objective 2 , Policy l : The funding of water projects which will enhance the opera- tion of the existing system shall have priority over those projects which expand or enlarge the system. Chamber of Commerce revision: The public funding . . . Recommendation: Retain present wording . The preceding comment concerning Policy 4 of Objective 1 , Goal 1 is appli- cable to this policy as well . It was decided that the word "public" should not be included and that the phrase "extension of water service" should be included. Page 58 , Goal 2 , Objective 3 , Policy 1 : When extending the water system to areas of new development, upgrade the existing distribution network and storage capacity at the time of construction to assure adequate pressure and supply. Chamber of Commerce revision: . . .upgrade where appropriate. . . to assure maintaining adequate. . . Recommendation: The proposed additions to the policy state- ment are acceptable. We suggest that "maintenance of" be substituted for "maintaining . It was generally agreed that the staff recommendation be accepted. Page 59 , Goal 2 , Objective 4 , Policy 2 : Residential and commercial development shall be designed whenever possible to include systems and equipment which conserve water. Chamber of Commerce revision : . . .development should be designed , where feasible, to include. . . Recommendation : Change the policy to read as follows : "Residential and commercial development should be designed to ' include systems and equipment which conserve water. " - 11 - July 6, 1982 EAST HILL PLAN AND EIS Kelleher stated he would like to see the language changed to show what the requirements are. Page 59 , Goal 3 , Objective 1 , Policy 2 : Limits on vegetatation removal and site coverage shall be required of any development adjacent to streams , creeks , drainage swales or any other watercourse. Chamber of Commerce revision: . . .coverage should be encouraged for. any. . . Recommendation: Retain present wording . Refer also to the comment appearing under Policy 3 , Objective 1 , Goal 3 of the Natural Environmental Element. Kelleher suggested that provision be included for limitations on vegetation removal and site coverage and that this be developed for Council approval. Hansen noted that the city ' s ongoing pro- grams such as the Water Quality Program would compliment these policies . He pointed out that the East Hill Plan Committee had had 40 meetings and that this Plan had been the subject of seven Planning Commission meetings. Hansen noted that this was a policy document and that regulations could be adopted by the Council at a later date by ordinance. Kelleher suggested that his proposed language was even stronger than the original and that until the Water Quality Program was adopted there was a question as to whether the Hearing Examiner would suggest the limitations at her descretion or whether the Council would do it. Suzette Cooke explained the Chamber ' s intent and Leahy commented that replacing "shall" and "require" with "should" and "encourage" was inappropriate. Charles Bolz noted that the policies were being taken out of context and Kelleher noted that there are different ways to imple- ment the policies and it must be decided who should have the determination and how flexible the system should be. Hamilton opined that the phrase "shall be required" should be retained. Tom Barghausen questioned how the system would work under these conditions and whether it would be necessary for the landowner to get Council approval before going through the Hearing Examiner process. Kelleher stated that he understood from the City 12 - July 6, 1982 EAST HILL PLAN AND EIS Attorney that unless specifically stated otherwise, the Hear- ing Examiner could make her own interpretation of some of the policies. Harris noted that the staff met with developers all through the process to make the city ' s general regulations clear. Barghausen agreed that this is the way it was done, with recommendations made by the Planning Department and the Public Works Department before the matter is scheduled for hearing. Page 59 , Goal 3 , Objective 2 , Policy 1 : New development shall not cause surface water runoff to exceed the peak discharge that existed prior to development. Chamber of Commerce revision: New development shall provide appropriate controls of surface water runoff to assure adequate discharge from the development without adverse effect. Recommendation: We suggest the following revision: "New development shall provide appropriate controls to maintain pre-development peak storm water runoff levels . " This policy is consistent with current requirements of the Kent Surface Water and Drainage Code. Mooney noted that the retention_ basins, if prene?rly designed were effective. Barney Wilson stated that there were no penal- ties covering retention basins which might overflow and that the storm water on East Hill had to be stored. Charles Bolz noted that the committee had discussed all of these concerns and they were addressed throughout the text. Page 62 , Goal 4 , Objective 3 , Policy 2 : Subdivisions, planned unit developments and multi-family developments shall dedicate open space or provide a payment in lieu of dedication. Funds acquired through payment in lieu of dedication shall be utilized for property acquistion, site development or facility improvements in the area sur- rounding the development . Chamber of Commerce revision: Delete. Recommendation: Deletion of the policy is acceptable. The Council was in general agreement. - 13 - July 6 , 1982 EAST HILL PLAN AND EIS Page 64 , Goal 5, Objective 4 , Policy 1 : Development approval shall be contingent upon the existence of a sufficient and reliable water system, or an approved plan to provide such a system. Chamber of Commerce revision: . . . existence of an adequate water system. . . Recommendation: The proposed revision is acceptable . Kelleher and Hansen noted that consideration had been given to using the phrase "reliable adequate water system" or "an improved implementable plan" . The Council was in general agreement with this. Page 65, Recommendation concerning Policy 1 of Objective 1 , Goal 1: No Kent sewer extensions should be permitted east of 116th Avenue SE until such time as 80 percent of the property west of 116th Avenue SE is within the City. Chamber of Commerce revision: . . . such time as a reasonable portion of the. . . Recommendation: Citizen Advisory Committee members considered 80 percent to be a "reasonable portion. " If this figure is not acceptable, we suggest that City Council propose a specific measure rather than rely on the vague term, "reason- able portion. " Wickstrom noted that the system was not a strict gravity system and that there were problems at the pump station. He pointed out the possibility that the Sewer Districts in the vicinity would seek to serve this area thus allowing development. B . Johnson noted that the item just discussed from Page 64, Goal 5, Objective 4 , Policy 1 would cover this . 14 - July 6 , 1982 EAST HILL PLAN AND EIS Human Environment Element Page 71, Goal 1, Objective 2 , Policy 1 : Establish zoning and design criteria that will assure a smooth transition between land use of varied intensity and scale. Chamber of Commerce revision: . . . zoning and site plan design criteria. . . Recommendation: The proposed revision is acceptable. No Comments. Page 71 , Goal 1, Objective 2 , Policy 2 : Written notice shall be given to all property owners within 300 feet of the perimeter of property to be subdivided, short platted, or developed into multi-family or commercial development. Chamber of Commerce revision: Delete. Recommendation• We suggest that City Council determine whether this policy statement is appropriate . It was determined that the state law required notification to those within 200 feet, and if this item was deleted, the city would still have to comply with the state law. Bolz noted that the citizen ' s committee had suggested 300 feet since there were some complaints about notification and it was thought that per- haps 200 feet was insufficient to include all those property owners who might be affected. Page 71, Goal 1, Objective 2 , Policy 3 : The development of areas that require long extensions of public utilities shall be delayed until a time when such utilities are more readily available . Chamber of Commerce revision: . . .of public funded utilities shall be phased over a time period to allow for such utilities to be more readily available. Recommendation: Retain present wording. The comment appear- ing under Policy 4 , Objective 1, Goal 1 of the Public Facilites and Services Element is applicable to this policy. - 15 - July 6, 1982 EAST HILL PLAN AND EIS Leahy spoke in favor of the staff recommendation. Suzette Cooke stated that the wording suggested by the Chamber was more positive. Page 71, Goal 1, Objective 3 : Review land use designations periodically or as local condi- tions change to ensure that they continue to reflect the preferences and concerns of East Hill residents . Chamber of Commerce revision : . . .periodically to ensure. . . residents and local conditions. Recommendation: We suggest the following revision: "Review land use designations periodically to ensure that they continue to reflect the preference and concerns of East Hill residents . " It was suaa_ ested that the term "Kent area residents" be used instead of "East Hill residents" . Page 73 , Goal 3 , Objective 1 , Policy 1 : Limit growth until adequate and safe roads are provided and bikeways , trails and equestrian paths are funded or provided. Chamber of Commerce revision: Support growth that promotes adequate and safe roads, bikeways , trails and equestrian paths. Recommendation : We suggest the following revision: "Safe adequate roads and bikeways , trails and equestrians paths should accompany residential growth and development ." B. Johnson ruestioned -whether arowth -could be limited until all of these amenities were provided. It was generally agreed that the addition of "where appropriate" would clarify this item. Page 73 , Goal 3 , Objective 2 , Policy 2 : The quality and aesthetic character of new residential development shall be at a minimum comparable to the surround- ing area. Chamber of Commerce revision : . . shall be compatible with . . . 'Recommendation: This policy should be combined with Policy 3 . Policy 3 would be designated as Policy 2 and would read as follows : All commercial development shall be designed to create a consistent and attractive appearance through the adoption of design standards. " - 16 - July 6 , 1982 EAST HILL PLAN AND EIS Sally Chafe of the Planning Staff noted that it appeared that the staff recommendation .should have stated "All residential and commercial. . . . " Page 74 , Goal 3 , Objective 2 , Policy 3 : Commercial development shall be designed to create a con- sistent and attractive appearance through the adoption of specific design standards . Chamber of Commerce revision : . . . adoption of general design. . . Recommendation: This policy should be combined with Policy 2 as previously described. It was determined that this v.ould be combined with Goal 3, Objective 2, Policy 2 as lister above. Page 74 , Recommendation concerning Policy 2 of Objective 2 , Goal 1: The Zoning Ordinance should be amended to require written notice be given to all property within 300 feet of property to be subdivided, short platted, or developed into multi- family or commercial developments. Criteria needs to be established for determining the size of developments which require such a notice; i.e. the number of units or the square footage of the building . Chamber of Commerce revision: Delete. Recommendation : See the comment appearing under Policy 2 of Objective 2 , Goal 1. It was noted that this item had been discussed under Policy 2 of Objective 2, Goal 1 . Paul Morford noted that the City should provide roads for the safety of the citizens . Harris noted that this was addressed under the Transportation System and was very explicit. The street improvements already made by the City in the East Hill area were pointed out. 17 - July 6, 1982 EAST HILL PLAN AND EIS It was determined that the Planning Staff would review the input received tonight and provide a report for the Council. It was determined that this matter would not be discussed at a workshop, and B. JOHNSON MOVED to continue the hearing to July 19th, Mooney seconded. Leahy suggested that the hearing be closed and that after reviewing the staff ' s report, that the Council could take action on this at the July 19th meeting. The motion to continue the hearing carried, with Leahy voting in opposition. Mooney noted that the staff report should be received by the Council prior to the usual agenda delivery date. EXECUTIVE At Cushing ' s request, the Council retired to an SESSION Executive Session at 9 : 20 p.m. after which the meeting was adjourned. Marie Jensen, CMC City Clerk 18 -
