The public hearing for the confirmation of the Final Assessment Roll for LID 304 was continued to this date. Public Works Director Wickstrom described the project, noting that the original hearing on the Final Assessment Roll was held on September 17 , 1984 at which time protests were received totaling about 14 . 2% . The hearing was then continued to October 15 to enable review of the protests and the development of "before and 2 - I November 5, 1984 STREETS after" appraisal analyses. Wickstrom noted that the hearing was again continued on October 15 because the appraisals were not completed and at that time another protest was received bringing the percentage total of protests up to 31. 28%. He LID 304 pointed out that copies of the protests had been furnished to the Council together with staff analyses of the Protests submitted, a review of the require- ments under Ordinance 2224 should vacant property be developed and development permits issued, together with a review of the two types of property included in the LID (some developed to the fullest and some vacant) . Wickstrom clarified that an appraisal firm was used to evaluate those properties presently developed by means of a "before and after" appraisal, and a real estate company, Coldwell Banker, was used to review the vacant lands, keep- ing in mind the development requirements which could be imposed under Ordinance 2224 affecting the "before" value. Wickstrom further noted that modifications to some of the assessments was recommended: TABLE I ASSESSMENT ORIGINAL PROPOSED RECOMMENDED FINAL NUMBER ASSESSMENT AMOUNT ASSESSMENT AMOUNT 1 (Bowl Inv. ) $ 5, 265 . 41 $ 5, 265. 41 3 (Miles Drake) 5 , 187 . 10 5 ,187 . 10 4 (PSPL) 32, 663 . 41 -0- 12 (Coats) 102, 994 . 72 97, 929 .00 13 (Perkins) 27, 079 . 24 27 , 000. 00 17 (Nussli) 13, 523. 07 2, 424 . 00 Referring to Assessments #1 and #3, Wickstrom explained that it is the City' s opinion that the properties are benefitted and that the protest information is not valid as to the properties not being benefitted. Referring to Assessment #4 , Puget Power, Wickstrom noted that the appraisal evaluation concluded that there were no benefits which were attributable to the properties and that it was recommended that the assessment be reduced to zero. Referring to Assess- ment #12 , he recommended that the assessment be - 3 - November 5 , 1984 STREETS reduced to $97 , 929 . 00 , based on the City' s analysis of benefits to the Property of $1 . 50 per square foot. He further recommended that Assessment #13 be reduced to $27 , 000..00 and Assessment #17 be reduced to $2 . 424 . 00 . LID 304 Wickstrom recommended that the difference not be reassessed to the property within the LID but that the City pick up the difference, in order to save time and interim financing charges. In response to Mayor Hogan' s question, Wickstrom noted that the only one aware of the changes in the amounts of the assessments was Miles Drake. Wickstrom concluded by noting that the City had made an effort beyond that which was required, since evidence of not being benefitted was really the responsibility of the property owners , and it was not the City 's responsibility to prove the property was being benefitted. In response to questions from White, Wickstrom noted that the LID was initiated in 1979 by a letter from property owners between 4th and 6th Avenues. He also noted that Metro later chose to Participate in the LID at the time of con- structionyof their Park N Ride Lot. At this point the LID was expanded to incorporate all of the Property over to Lincoln Avenue and then north to tie in with the existing improvements. Wick- strom noted that prior to the initiation of the LID, Smith Street was included on the 6-vear capital improvement Plan to ultimately be extended to West Valley Highway and that other changes were budgeted in 1982 . He further clarified that Metro' s Assessment was #16 and that they were not protesting their assessment of $142, 457 . 44 . WOODS MOVED to make the documents prepared by the Public Works Department and submitted tonight, a Part of the record, White seconded. Motion carried. It was determined that this included the appraisals of the Puget Power property. Biteman questioned the procedure used, noting that Wickstrom had indicated that it was the burden of the taxpayer to justify any requested alteration to the roll. Wickstrom clarified that the Council was put in the position of evaluating the information presented. He further 4 - November 5, 1984 STRFFTS clarified that appraisals from outside sources con- stituted good valid information. The public hear- ing was opened by Mayor Hoqan. The Clerk noted receipt of a letter from Joan Nussli. BITEMAN MOVED to make the letter part of the record, White LID 304 seconded. Motion carried . Jakk Roberson of Bowl Investments (Assessment No. 1) suggested that the properties were not being bene- fitted with the change of the site of the road, as well as the elimination of a portion of the available parking area. Wickstrom noted that the property was vacant, and that if developed, Ordinance 2224 could require improvements such as street pavement, curbs and gutter, sidewalk, street lighting and storm drainage. He pointed out that the cost of these improvements was estimated in making the necessary analysis . Wickstrom further noted that Gary Volchok had made the "before and after" appraisals and that it was his opinion that the added benefit to the property was $1 . 00 per square foot. Miles Drake (Assessment No. 3) noted that his property has always been residential and that the improvement was of no benefit to residential property. He further noted that the M-1 zoning has never been utilized nor was it foreseeable in the future. WHITE MOVED to accept a letter from Drake, submitted tonight, a part of the record, Woods seconded. Motion carried. It was determined that the response to Mr. Drake ' s original letter of protest was part of the packet furnished to the Council and had been made a part of the official record. Wickstrom pointed out that Assessment No. 17 , con- taining a little over 8 ,000 square feet, was developed into industrial use in 1979 . In response to questions from White, Wickstrom noted that development of that particular lot required several variances. Sally Nelson, 430 Summit, noted that she had not protested but questioned the value of the improvements to her property at the corner of 6th & Smith. There was no further discussion and WHITE MOVED to close the public hearing, Johnson seconded. Motion carried. - 5 - November 5, 1984 STREETS White questioned whether or not the Uplands Playfield was included in the LID and Wickstrom determined that it was Assessment No. 5 and opined that the value of the property was probably much higher than surrounding properties because it was used LID 304 as a tax credit at the time of donation to the City. He further clarified that Metro was the largest property owner in the LID. JOHNSON MOVED to direct the City Attorney to prepare the ordi- nance confirming the final assessment roll for LID 304 and that the said roll shall reflect the adjust- ments to the respective assessments denoted in Table 1 of the Public Works Department memorandum of November 1 , 1984 as corrected and herein dis- cussed. JOHNSON FURTHER MOVED that $26 , 244 . 40 of the unencumbered funds within Project Fund 3165 (S. 180th Street Improvement Project) be transferred into the Smith Street Project Fund. Leahy seconded. Upon White ' s question, Wickstrom noted that if the Council wished to further adjust any of the assessments , the Council had the pre- rogative to do so at this time. In response to White ' s further Questions, Wickstrom noted that the project was 100o LID other than the City' s park property which is assessed at $57 , 000. At this time the City is also proposing to pick up an additional $40, 000+ in assessments. White noted that inasmuch as the City ' s traffic congestion has been relieved by this project, he would be comfortable with the City picking up a greater portion. T,,lickstrom contended that the City believed that the properties involved were bene- fitted at least to the amount of their assessments . Motion carried. (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5M) LID 300 - Crow Road Improvements - Kent-Kangley to 108th. AUTHORIZATION to set December 3 , 1984 as public hearing date on the confirmation of the final assessment roll for LID 300 . (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 50) LID 318 - North Central Avenue Improvements. AUTHORIZATION for the Mayor to sign the agreement with the Urban Arterial Board for Urban Arterial Trust Funds for the Central Avenue Improvement Project. 6 - November 5, 1984 STREETS King County Road Fund. A resolution has been pre- pared relating to roads and transportation and to the County General Tax Levy for the County Road Fund, r.eauesting that King County cease diversion of monies from the County Road Fund and devote such funds to the resolution of the South King County traffic problems . WHITE MOVED that action on this matter be deferred and the proposed resolu- tion be referred to the Public Works & Planning Committee for discussion and recommendation. Biteman seconded. Motion carried. WATER (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5I) LID 316 - 94th Avenue Water Main. AUTHORIZATION to set December 3 , 1984 as the date for the public hearing on the creation of LID 316 . Additional information included in the packet explained that although a hearing on the formation of this LID was concluded on May 21, 1984 the project has been reviewed. The boundaries and the scope of the project have not changed but a new hearing is required because the assessments have changed. The City Clerk will publish and mail the necessary notices .

The adoption of Resolution 1033 would add five pro- perties to the LID. Two of said properties were included on the Preliminary Assessment Roll that were missing on the Ordinance creating the LID. The other three parcels are those which have asked to be included in the LID so their assess- ments could be paid over a number of years. The Resolution provides for setting December 3 , 1984 as the date for the public hearing on both the inclusion of additional properties and the confirmation of the final assessment roll. KELLEHER MOVED to adopt Resolution 1033 providing for including the additional parcels and setting December 3 , 1984 as the date for the public hear- ing on confirmation of the final assessment roll for LID 309 . Woods seconded. potion carried. TRAFFIC (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5P) CONTROL Sequoia Junior High Crosswalk Flashing Signal .

Public hearings were conducted on September 4 and October 15, 1984. (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5F) Zoning - Rowley No. 4 Annexation - Ordinance. ADOPTION of Ordinance 2504 zoning the Rowley No. 4 n z.� November 5, 1984 REZONE 4. The applicant shall construct sidewalks to City standards along Willis Street and South Central Avenue. Steve Lawson, 1035 Andover Park West, addressed the Council regarding the conditions imposed on the rezone_ He noted that it had been discovered during investigations on the proposed rezone pro- perty that there was a portion of an alley running through the property which had not been vacated but which no longer physically existed. He referred to City procedures for vacations under which the applicant pays to the City one-half of the appraised value of the property vacated. He suggested that if the alley were to be vacated that the City consider giving credit toward such amount for the property the applicant must dedicate as a condition of the rezone approval. The City Attorney determined that this could be considered but that it would still be necessary for the Southland Corporation to file the necessary paperwork to commence pro- ceedings to vacate the alley. Lawson noted that the Southland Corporation did not wish to delay the rezone proceedings. DiJulio noted that the Hearing Examiner's recommendation could be adopted now and further action delayed until the time of the hearing on the vacation of the alley. Wick- strom concurred and. suggested that this proposal would be made a part of the rezone approval. KELLEHER MOVED that the recommendations of the Hearing Examiner regarding the rezone be approved including the conditions and the City Attorney be instructed to draft the necessary ordinance. Woods seconded. Potion carried. APPEAL Okimoto Properties Short Plat Appeal (SP-84-8). On October 17, 1984 Okimoto Properties filed an appeal from the action of the Kent Short Plat Committee. A packet of information, including a chronological list of events, has been pro- vided to the Council by the Planning Department. Planning Director Harris noted that the conditions of short plat approval were not being questioned, but that the appeal dealt with the method of cal- culating the density. City Attorney DiJulio clarified that research by his department indi- - 10 - November 5, 1984 APPEAL cated that the Council did not have the authority to act on the density issue. Regarding the Okimoto rezone, DiJulio noted that dedication of rights - of -way were conditions of the 1978 rezone action when the zoning was changed from RA to CC and MR-M. DiJulio noted that the Short Plat Committee was not empowered to change these conditions since they were imposed by Council action, and that under the Kent zoning Code, streets are not included in counting the lot density. He noted that King County did permit this lot averaging. He noted further that since the dedication by the applicant was a condition of the original rezone for this property, the short plat process could not change the conditions. The public hearing was opened by Mayor Hogan. Phillip Hutchison, attorney for the applicant, noted that the conditions of the rezone were understood by the applicant, and that the Short Plat Committee added some conditions. He pointed out that the parcel was zoned for apart- ments and the dedications required would make it necessary for the applicant to reduce the scope of the apartment complex by five or six units over the 17 acre parcel. He stated that he thought that some trade-off could be arranged so that the overall density would not be affected by the dedications. It was determined that changes to the conditions of the rezone could only be accomplished by rezoning the property to a greater density. There were no further comments and the hearing was closed. LEAHY MOVED to uphold the action of the Short Subdivision Committee and to deny the appeal. Woods seconded and the motion carried. TRANSPORTA- Transportation Plan. The public hearing on the TION PLAN inclusion of a third east/west study corridor between Southeast 208th Street and Southeast 240th Street has been continued to this date. Traffic Engineer Poston noted that the Planning Commission was directed to examine additional commercial zoning in the vicinity of 104th S.E. and S.E. 240th and that resulting increase of traffic would be a part of that consideration. He noted that the new PSCOG population forecast is lower than the figure used at the start of these hearings. He also pointed out that a new forecast showed that the increase November 5, 1984 TRANSPORTA- in traffic will take longer than what was originally TION PLAN estimated. Using graphs, he explained that the growth patterns determine the timing for the imple- mentation of the individual projects. He noted for White that all arterials were evaluated in the plan and that projects for widening streets would be scheduled before projects for construct- ing new streets. Upon Biteman's question, Poston noted that authorizing a study corridor did not mean the road would be built, the authorization would be to simply study the need, and that coopera- tion with King County would be necessary in order to actually get a road built. The public hearing was declared open by Mayor Hogan and the City C1_erk noted that no corres- pondence had been received. Fritz Baesman noted that he represented people in his neighborhood, rather than the S. 224th Coalition, which he had represented at previous hearings. He commented on material he displayed upon the screen, stating that the need for an additional East/West arterial has not been demonstrated, noting the following: Official population forecasts are down. Density factors used in the Kent traffic study have not been substantiated. Traffic projections utilizing actual traffic count data have not been repudiated. He referred to the revised PSCOG growth projections for Soos Creek and noted that 100o buildout traffic levels are based on assumed density levels, which have not been substantiated or shown to be applic- able to Soos Creel;. A graph was shown giving actual count traffic data. Baesman questioned the fairness of having this subject before the Council again without new data, noting that based upon the Council's previous action, residents of the area have made investments in building and remodeling. He com- mented on the inaccurate reporting in the Kent newspaper and recommended that the proposed arterial be dropped from further consideration until such time as the need is clearly defined. A copy of the - 12 - November 5, 1984 TRANSPORTA- packet of materials was filed with the Clerk for TION PLAN the official record. Mayor Hogan noted for those living outside the City, that it would take the concurrence of King County to build any corridor. Elmira Forner of 11420 S.E. 228th stated that plans should be made now and commented that the current inadequate roads would cause delay in the response time of the Fire Department. She noted also that the School District had complained that busses had to go 16 blocks out of the way in order to serve some areas i_n the vicinity of S. 224th and that the busses are now using residential streets in some instances. _John Freznadel objected, stating that the access by the Fire Department was not a problem. Connie Huzar stated that plans for something 20 or 30 years ahead kept the property owners in limbo as to what would actually happen. George Zimmer commented that one plan showed a dead-end at the Benson, and he described how drivers could detour through residential neighborhoods to avoid the congestion on the arterial. He opined that this practice would increase if the corridor was built. Suzette Cooke noted that her property would be impacted but that she supported the pro- posal and noted that she preferred to know in advance that a corridor was under study. She also stated that she had observed the use of residential streets by those wishing to avoid the crowded arterials. Stewart Stern noted that any East/West road recommended by Kent would be processed through King County. He objected to Councilmembers Johnson & Kelleher taking part in these discussions and voting on this issue since they work for King County Councilman Gary Grant. He opined that these were incompatible offices and stated that he was in the process of notifying the State Auditor's office of this situation. Mike Powers stated he had served on the Transport- ation Committee and that the first question should be finding the funds for any proposed road, because no road would be built if the funds were not available. Glenn Votaw stated that planning had to be accomplished before King County would work with us. Johnson clarified for Baesman that the November 5, 1984 TRANSPORTA fire station on 216th was manned only by volunteers. TION PLAN Jerry Brannon stated that he had seen no problem with response time by Medic units. Baesman noted that some of the problems which needed to be addressed were short term problems and should not be confused with the S. 224th Street proposed corridor. Connie Baesman stated that the shape of the land would have much to do in determining where roads would go and that 224th was a steep hill. She opined that a road at this location would be very expensive to build at any time because of the environmental concerns. T. J. Bigford noted that he had walked the area from the Benson to the valley and that the cost of building a road would be prohibitive. Poston clarified that both S.E. 277th and S.E. 196th were also study corridors, and that the recom- mendation to be considered tonight was to include an additional study corridor between. S.E. 208th and S.E. 240th. He pointed out that if the City and the County decided today to build, it would be 7 to 10 years before such a road was constructed. There were no further comments and the hearing was closed by motion. BITEMAN MOVED that Resolution 1032 amending the Transportation Plan to include a third east/west study corridor between S.E. 208th Street and S.E. 240th Street be adopted, Woods seconded. Poston clarified for White that such a study could result in findings that such a corridor was not needed or that it could not be built in this particular place. Biteman, Johnson and White concurred that although they were initially against the S.E. 224th corridor, they now supported the study of a third corridor. Referring to Stewart Stern's comments, Johnson noted that he had not worked for King County Councilman Gary Grant since February, 1984, but that he was a County employee. Kelleher noted that he had sought the City Attorney's opinion when Stern had raised the question several weeks ago. DiJulio's written response stating that this is a legislative decision and that therefore the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine would not apply, has been made a part of the record. DiJulio then - 14 - November 5, 1984 TRANSPORTA- briefly described the types of actions covered by TION PLAN the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine, Conflict of Interest and Incomnatibilitv of Office. Kelleher noted that inasmuch as Questions on this matter had been raised in the oast, he was working on a draft of a Code of Ethics for Councilmembers. The motion to adopt Resolution 1032 carried unani- mously. Mayor Hogan noted that Councilman Gary Grant was seeking volunteers to serve on the Citizens Transit Advisory Committee and that anyone interested should call her office for an application. COMPREHENSIVE Planning Director Harris noted that the Comprehen- PLAN/ZONING sive Plan changes to the East Hill Plan and/or CODE Zoning Code Amendment hearings have now been con- cluded by the Planning Commission. The matter will be discussed at the workshop of November 13 and a public hearing has been scheduled for November 19 before the Council. WESTERN Letters received from Greg Wingard of Toxic En - PROCESSING vironmental Action Coalition and from Standard Equipment regarding the clean up of Western Pro- cessing were acknowledged and filed for the record. SENIOR A letter has been received from Charles Adams, CENTER Kent Realty, Inc., asking that the Skating Rink property on East Hill be considered for the Senior Citizens Center site. JOHNSON MOVED that the letter be accepted for the record, Woods seconded. Motion carried. PLANNING Mayor Hogan noted that the term of Carol Stoner COMMISSION has now expired and she has chosen to not be reappointed to the Planning Commission. A vacancy now exists on the Commission for a member residing outside the City limits but within the sphere of influence. FEDERAL Federal Revenue Sharing. The City Clerk has REVENUE given proper legal notice for this date for a SHARING public hearing to receive suggestions and input from the public on the proposed use of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. The 1985 Budget anticipates - 15 - November 5, 1984 FEDERAL the receipt of $516,768. Based on requests re - REVENUE ceived from social service agencies and from SHARING City departments, $485,609 is proposed to be allocated as shown in the 1985 Preliminary Budget and $31,159 remains unallocated. Cushing noted that there would be no presentation at this meeting since the Federal Revenue Sharing alloc- ations would be considered at the time of the hearing on the 1985 budget. He clarified that approximately $80,000 had been requested by social service agencies in the area. FIRE (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5G) DEPARTMENT Fire Master Plan.
