At the meeting on April TION PLAN 16, 1984 the Council delayed action on the Arterial Access Policy portion of the Transporta- tion Plan to this meeting.

Direct access onto arterials shall be Restricted if an alternate street access is available. (The word restricted would be used instead of dpniad . ) The public hearing was reopened by Mayor Hogan.

In response to Bailey's question as to the rationale behind the proposed amendment, Ms. Cooke noted that there could be circumstances where denial might not be appropriate to the pro- - 9 - May 7 , 1984 TRANSPORTA- perty owner involved and use of the word TION PLAN "restricted" left the matter open for staff decision. In response to Leahy' s auestion, Poston noted that he concurred in such changes. There was no further discussion and BAILEY MOVED to close the public hearing, Woods seconded. Motion carried. JOHNSON MOVED that the Arterial Access Policy be adopted as amended. Biteman seconded. Motion carried. Trans op station Plan. In order to allow for addi- tional comments to be made on the Transportation Plan before final adoption, it has been deter- mined that the public hearing will be reopened. The public hearing was reopened by Mayor Hogan. Traffic Engineer Poston recapped the significant action which has been taken during this series of public hearings, as follows: February 21, 1984 . Adoption of the goals and policies used to develop the Transportation Plan. The Arterial Plan was approved with the under- standing that the new east/west arterials noted therein would be considered only as study corri- dors, which implies their potential, but recog- nizes a need for joint agency study and concurrence. April 2 , 1984 . The Pedestrian, Truck and Bicycle elements of the plan were approved as modified by the Public Works memo of March 2. Action on developing financing alternatives was deferred until participating agreements with other agencies were developed and until the city develops a Comprehensive Capital Improvement Financing Program. April 16, 1994 . The City Attorney was directed to prepare a resolution with the added stipulation that we will look into the possibility of creating a Roads and Bridges Service District. Poston noted further that the Council adopted the Arterial Access policv, as amended in tonight's action. Fritz Baesman spoke on; behalf of the 224th Street Coalition, highlighting the key points of his prior presentations. He pointed out that the 10 - May 7, 1984 TRANSPORTA- S. 224th corridor is not a suitable location TION PLAN for an arterial street, economically or environ- mentally. Baesman stated that the traffic study forecasts are faulty because of the inappropriate application of the PSCOG model results and that when realistic traffic forecasts are utilized, no need for the proposed S. 224th arterial is shown. He stated that the Coalition wanted S. 224th dropped from the Transportation Plan. There were no further comments from the audience and no correspondence has been received. The public hearing was then closed. Upon questions from the Council, Poston noted that the City had not shown that S. 224th was the best route, but that it could not be assumed that the road in that location would not be feasible. He noted that additional study was needed, and further, that Baesman' s alternate model did not take into account the undeveloped area. The City's model attempted to determine what road projects will be needed after development takes place. He noted that plans should be made beyond the year 2000 and that the PSCOG model was widely used for many planning purposes. Poston noted that the City is ready to work with the County and the State and that even if all were in agreement as to need, the funding process would have to be worked out. At this point the City does not know whether the other agencies are willing to participate. Poston opined that if the city dropped the S. 224th corridor from the Arterial Plan, the county would have to go with one of the alternates and would not even consider S. 224th. He explained that the further study was proposed to be done in conjunction with the County and if the County did not find that additional study was warranted, the City would not persue the issue. It was clarified that the City could not build a road outside the city limits. Kelleher noted that the County classes this pro- ject as "no status" and Poston confirmed that the reason for designating these routes as study - 11 - May 7, 1984 TRANSPORTA- corridors was to get King County to consider the TION PLAN possibility of participating in the project. He clarified that if S. 224th is deleted from the Plan, the adjacent arterials, S. 240th and S. 208th, would have to be planned as six lanes each. Poston noted that the key factor is the amount of traffic growth which will result from the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan, no matter when that might develop. In response to questions, Poston noted that it was true that the cost of building the S. 224th corridor would be high, due to the environmental constraints. Upon Kelleher' s question, Baesman noted that it was hard to predict the need for roads 30 to 40 years into the future. Poston explained that the projections were based upon the premise that the City would continue to accomodate growth. Wickstrom noted that actually changing the land use plan was an alternative, but that this had to be done in cooperation with King County. KELLEHER MOVED that Resolution 1014 be adopted approving the City of Kent Comprehensive Trans- portation Plan, [Moods seconded. BAILEY MOVED to amend the motion to delete S . 224th from the plan. He stated that he did not think that including S. 224th was in the best interest of the community, that the cost factor was not positive enough and that he doubted that the County would participate. He pointed out that alternatives could be considered, and further that 224th could be placed back into the plan at a future date. Biteman seconded. Bailev noted for Kelleher that he did not have faith in PSCOG' s figures and that he believed some alternative routes could be developed. Kelleher stated that the 'city used PSCOG figures for other planning and that we should be consistent. He noted that the Council will have to address what the future growth might be. He stated that if S. 224th is eliminated the possibility of it being built would be eliminat-d and we will be locked in to some other alternative. He stated that the City should encourage study of the corridors outside the city, if we want the County to participate 12 - May 7, 1984 TRATQSPORTA- Baileys proposed amendment, to delete S. 224th TION PLAN from the Plan, carried, with Kelleher and Woods opposing. The motion to adopt Resolution 1014, approving the Comprehensive Transportation Plan, as amended, carried unanimously. METRO The Mayor noted that she had received a petition TRANSIT from Charles Schumacher requesting additional bus service in the Kent area. WOODS MOVED that the petition be forwarded to Metro for further action, White seconded. Motion carried. COUNCIL (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5E) Absence of Councilmember.
