The Economic Development Corporation, prior to the time of original issu- ance of the Bonds on December 18, 1984, had submitted a request to Moody's Investor's Service, Inc. ("Moody's") that Moody's issue its rating on the Bonds, but Moody's had not completed the rating process at that time of original issu- ance of the Bonds. Moody's has now completed its rating process in connection with the Bonds, has rated the Bonds in its Aa-1 category and has requested that certain technical and clarifying amendments be made in the Indenture pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 1, 1985 (the "Supplemental Indenture") as a basis for its rating of the Bonds. The EDC and the Trustee have reviewed such amendments and determined that none of the amendments will adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds. The sole Owner of Outstanding Bonds, the Credit Bank and the Company have each consented in writing to such amendments. JOHNSON MOVED to approve Resolution 1053 approving execution and delivery by the City of Kent Economic Development Corpor- ation of the Supplemental Indenture of Trust dated as of March 1, 1985 (Associated Grocers Project), Leahy seconded. Motion carried. - 4 - April 15, 1985 PUBLIC DEFENDER Public Defender Contract 1985-1986.

It is recommended that the low bid be accepted. BITEMAN MOVED that the bid of $89,989 from Omega Contractors be accepted for the West Hill Water Systems Pressure Improve- ments Pump Station No. 7, Johnson seconded. White questioned when it was expected that the system would be on line and Wickstrom clarified that this was Pump Station No. 7 and it was anticipated that the system would be operable by the first of the year. Referring to the Cambridge Site, Pump Station No. 6, Wickstrom noted tha it was not yet operational. He noted that all residents of the area would be advised when the system does become functional so they will be ready for the added pressure. Wickstrom also agreed to provide the Council with an update regarding progress on the systems. Motion carried. CONDITIONAL USE Goodwin Professional Center Conditional Use Permit No. PERMIT APPEAL CE-84-10 Appeal. A public hearing is scheduled for this date to consider an appeal from the recommendation of the Hearing Examiner denying a request by Steven P. Elkins to allow retail use in conjunction with office use in an "0" Pro- fessional and Office Zoning District. The 1.61 acre site is located at 25022 104th Avenue S.E. The public hearing was opened by Mayor Hogan. Jack Nelson, 601 West Gowe Street, Kent, addressed the Council on behalf of the appellant, Steve Elkins. Nelson noted that the Planning Department had issued a staff report recommending denial. A hearing was subsequently held before the Hearing Examiner and following the hearing, the application for a Conditional Use Permit was denied. A request for reconsideration was then filed which was also denied and the appeal to the Council then ensued. Nelson stated that the appeal to the Council was based on his belief that there was in fact several errors in the record and therefore an appropriate action for Council consideration. Nelson pointed out that the site in question is an 0 zoned district controlled by the City under Kent City Code 15.04.750. - 5 - April 15, 1985 CONDITIONAL USE He noted thatthere are two provisions in that section for PERMIT APPEAL office zones that allow conditional use permits, namely subsection C(3) General conditional uses which are common to all zoning and C(4) which only exists in office zoning for retail sales as a conditional use up to a maximum of 50%. Nelson pointed out that this portion of the code specifically excludes drive-in restaurants, service stations cleaning establishments and other similar retail uses. Nelson stated that the appellant was asking that this section of the Code be invoked with regard to the development proposed. He noted that this provides for a less intense retail use and is limited to a maximum of 50% of the development. Nelson contended that the Planning Department staff report had incorrectly given the Hearing Examiner the impression that she had no discretion in granting the Conditional Use Permit. Referring to the staff report, he noted that in several instances it had stated that the proposed use would result in the creation of commercial strip zoning along 104th Avenue S.E. Nelson referred to recent action taken by the Council with regard to amending the East Hill Comprehensive Plan and contended that that amendment did not include the Goodwin property. He pointed outthat the Hearing Examiner's con- clusions for denial of the permit were based solely on the fact that the proposed use was not consistent with the East Hill Comprehensive Plan, which called for Office use. Nelson again pointed out that under the Zoning Code, which is the governing ordinance, the Hearing Examiner did in fact have the discretion to grant the requested use. With regard to traffic problems which might be created, Nelson notedthat the issue was addressed during the hearing but the Hearing Examiner's decision did not include any pro- jected traffic problems which could result. He noted that the Hearing Examiner, however, did seem to draw the con- clusion that the traffic would be unduly burdened. Nelson also referred to a suggested compromise to allow 25% retail usage and noted that this might be reasonable until such time as 104th Avenue S.E. is improved, at which time his client should be allowed the full 50% as requested. He asked that the Council consider the issue with the zoning ordi- nance as the governing rule, not the East Hill Comprehensive Plan. In response to questions from Bailey, Nelson agreed that he was of the opinion that the Planning Department staff had conveyed a prejudicial impression to the Hearing Examiner with regard to any alternatives she might have under the Zoning Code provisions for Conditional Uses. He concluded that it was his opinion that the Planning Department was reading something into the Council's actions at the time of the change to the East Hill Comprehensive Plan which was not in fact warranted. In response to White's questions, Nelson noted that the present plans were for 50% office and - 6 - April 15, 1985 CONDITIONAL USE 50% retail, which retail might include a small restaurant, PERMIT APPEAL such as the Coachman, which must relocate, or a small card shop, or similar retail uses. Nelson clarified for Biteman that his statements regarding the traffic flow were to clarify that there was no conclusion in the testimony to indi- cate that the traffic would be unduly burdened if the condi- tional use permit were to be allowed. Steve Elkins, 21400 Pacific Highway S. , Seattle, addressed the Council on behalf of the Goodwins, noting that as archi- tect, he had been working with the Planning Department since August of 1984. He noted that during these predevelopment meetings no mention had been made of the fact that the Council was going to amend the East Hill Comprehensive Plan, noting that this issue had not been raised during the Environ- mental Checklist procedure either. Bailey noted that Jim Hansen had commented during the testi- mony that the area in question was designated Office both in the Comprehensive Plan and in the Zoning Code. Elkins re- sponded to Bailey's further questions by noting that they were aware of the.Office zoning at all times but were also aware of the fact that a conditional use was allowed in that zoning designation under the Zoning Code. He further noted that the building has now been constructed. There were no further comments and WOODS MOVED to close the public hearing, Johnson seconded. Motion carried. It was pointed out that the Council now had several options to consider. In response to Leahy's question, Hearing Examiner Lander noted that it was her understanding that the Council had in December of 1984 amended the East Hill Comprehensive Plan, at which time they had indicated that between S.E. 244th and S.E. 250th Street on 104th Avenue S.E. the designation would remain Office. The Goodwin site is located at 25022 104th Avenue S.E. and the Hearing Examiner noted that it was her understanding that the Council's intent was to apply this Office designation to that location as well. Lander further noted that Gary Gill of the Public Works Department had testified at the hearing about the traffic flow predic- tions. Gary Gill, City Engineer, pointed out the Guidelines, Goals and Policies established with the adoption of the Transportation Plan identified the corridor needs, the levels of service to be established and the traffic which would be generated by different land usage. In response to questions, Harris noted that in all probability the staff had not advised the applicants that the Council was considering amending the East Hill Comprehensive Plan, even though they probably should have. Bailey concluded that he still was not of the opinion that the Hearing Examiner had erred in her - 7 - April 15, 1985 CONDITIONAL USE decision; however, because of the allegation that had been PERMIT APPEAL made that the staff had perhaps been negligent in not advising the applicants about the forthcoming East Hill Comprehensive Plan, and because there seemed to be some inconsistency in the interpretation of the Council's intent at the time of amending the Plan, he was of the opinion that there was sufficient reason to remand the application back to the Hearing Examiner. BAILEY MOVED to remand the matter back to the Hearing Examiner for her consideration of whether any impact from the apparent lack of communication between the staff and the applicant had any effect upon her recommendation or impounded in any way their presentation to her for consid- eration of the zoning. Biteman seconded. Bailey clarified for Biteman that it was his intent that part of the deli- beration on the remand would be as to whether or not the applicant and the appellant had in fact received fair treat- ment. Johnson noted that he would not vote in favor of the motion because his prime concern was for the amount of traffic that would be generated. Woods concurred with Johnson but noted that she did not feel that the omission by the Planning staff of notifying the applicants of the impending Plan change was in any way malicious and that the hearings at the time had in fact been well publicized. She noted that she would also vote against the motion. White supported Bailey's motion, noting that at the time of the hearings on the East Hi11' Plan changes9no one had appeared to testify with regard to the area in question. Leahy agreed with Johnson and Woods, noting that his interpretations of the Hearing Examiner position was to apply the laws and ordi- nances which the Council has adopted, not to evaluate the pro- cess by which they are made. He noted that he would also vote against the motion. There was no further discussion and the motion FAILED for lack of a majority, with Bailey, White and Biteman voting in favor and Leahy, Woods and Johnson voting against. LEAHY MOVED to accept the Findings and Decision of the Hearing Examiner and to deny the appeal. The motion CARRIED, with Johnson, Bailey, Leahy and Woods voting in favor and Biteman and White voting against. SOLAR ACCESS (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5K) (REMOVED AT THE REQUEST OF COUNCILMEMBER JOHNSON) Solar Access. Johnson noted that he had proposed an amend- ment to the Solar Access Ordinance a few weeks ago but action had been delayed at that time until Councilmember Bailey had returned. He explained that the intent of his proposed amendment was to sunset the ordinance and provide for a review of the solar access program after the ordi- nance had been in effect for one year. He referred speci- fically to Section 6 of the proposed ordinance where it now states that the ordinance will take effect and be in force ninety days from and after its passage, approval and publi- cation as provided by law. He noted that the intent of his amendment would be to add the words "and shall remain in force and effect for a period of one year thereafter," - 8 - April 15, 1985 SOLAR ACCESS WOODS MOVED for the adoption of Ordinance No. 2554 relating to Solar Access Setbacks, amending Chapter 15 of the Kent City Code, Leahy seconded. JOHNSON MOVED to amend Section 6 of Ordinance No. 2554 to include the addition of the follow- ing language in Section 6, "and shall remain in force and effect for a period of one year thereafter." Biteman seconded. Bailey addressed the amendments made by Johnson, noting that there seemed to be some confusion over his intent when the matter had been discussed by the full Council earlier. Bailey referred to verbatim minutes of the meeting of February 19, 1985, noting that his motion had stated in part, under Solar Access Design 3) "Staff to monitor for one year subdivisions using proposed ordinance standards, the find- ings after one year to be implemented to the Council for action to implement present regulation, or modify as a result of these findings". He noted that offers of assistance had come from civil engineers to assist in preparing topo- graphical maps and the assistance of one of the largest developers in the area to set forth a demonstration program. Bailey also referred to the interest that had been expressed during the course of his survey of the community. He also pointed out that it was clear that a time frame would have to be developed for the purpose of putting some type of handbook together containing information from many sources as well as the necessary topographical maps. He questioned the Council deciding to add a sundown clause to an ordi- nance at this time. Bailey clarified again for Johnson that he had no problem with the review of the ordinance within one year but felt that that year should take effect one year after the program was implemented and functioning. He sug- gested that it would be a disservice to the staff time to do otherwise, since it could well take 90 to 120 days to make the program operational. He agreed, however, that the Council would do well to review some of its ordinances and expressed no opposition to the idea. White stated that he would support the amendment with the hope that the ordinance would go away. He expressed oppo- sition over what could be a vast amount of paperwork over a few homes which would be involved in the City. Bailey clarified that his motion was designed to look at long range problems that this City and others could be facing in the future with regard to energy sources and the alternatives available. He suggested that while it might not affect many persons at this time, he felt it was incumbent on this Council to look to the future of the community. White expressed the opinion that it still represented excessive regulations and was not needed. Biteman suggested that many ordinances need such a review and that adopting an ordinance with such a provision could prove to be an asset. Leahy expressed no opposition to review of the ordinance but noted that he would - 9 - April 15, 1985 SOLAR ACCESS vote against the amendment. The motion FAILED for lack of a majority, with White, Johnson and Biteman voting in favor of the amendment and Bailey, Woods and Leahy voting against. The motion to adopt Ordinance No. 2554 carried, with White voting nay. - PLATS CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5R Valley Center Industrial Park SU-80-7 Preliminary Plat. CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5S Kent West Industrial Park US-80-6 Preliminary Plat. (REMOVED AT THE REQUEST OF PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR WICKSTROM) Wickstrom noted that the two items were removed from the Consent Calendar because a SUBSTITUTE condition for pre- liminary plat approval had been worked out between the Planning Department and the Polygon Corporation. The Plan- ning Department has recommended that the Council approve a one-year time extension for the Kent West Industrial Park Plat and the Valley Center Industrial Park Plat subject to the following condition: Within 30 days from the date of receipt, the Polygon.Corporation shall execute an agreement approved by the Public Works Department which secures their share of the advanced expenses associated with completing the design (plans and specs) of LID 306 improvements provided that said agreement is also executed by a majority of the other four major participants and the necessary funds have been secured. WOODS MOVED to approve Consent Calendar Item 5R and 5S, Johnson seconded. In response to Biteman's questions, Wickstrom noted that the amendment would achieve the initia- tion of moving ahead with the formation of LID 306, noting that the Polygon Corporation and four other major property owners, because of the magnitude of the project, would be required to execute special guarantees to secure payment of their assessments on time under LID 306. He noted further that these property owners wished to do the design work first before the LID is formed and were therefore committing the necessary funds. Gary Young of the Polygon Corporation confirmed that they were in agreement with the proposed amended condition. The motion carried. FINANCE (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5B) Approval of Bills. APPROVAL of payment of the bills received through April 19 after auditing by the Finance Committee at its meeting at 4:00 p.m. on April 30. 10 - April 15, 1985 FINANCE (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5H) Interim Financing for LID 297 - BANS.

John Moore of Foster & Marshall addressed the Council regarding their offer to purchase the combined bond issue for LID 300/307/309, referring to other bond sales in the area, noting that the City of Kent bonds would bear interest at the rate of 9.92%. He noted that approximately 60% of the bonds were being sold in the area, specifically Seattle, Tacoma and Federal Way. LEAHY MOVED to accept the Foster & Marshall proposal, Woods seconded. Motion carried. Bond Ordinance - CLID 300/307/309. Bond counsel has pre- pared Ordinance No. 2555 authorizing the combined issuance of bonds for LID 300/307/309 in the amount of $1,114,231.09 and accepting the offer of Foster & Marshall.

ADOPTION of Resolution 1052 sup- porting the philosophies and goals of the Business Computer Instruction and Retraining College (BCIR) as recommended by the Public Works and Planning Committee. JOHNSON MOVED to adopt Resolution 1052, Woods seconded. - 11 - April 15, 1985 COUNCIL In response to questions, Harris noted that representatives of the college had addressed a meeting of the Public Works and Planning Committee. After hearing their presentation, the members of the Committee felt that it would be desirous for the group to make their presentation before the Council with a view to obtaining Council support. Harris pointed out that under the Goals, Objectives & Policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan, the City has an opportunity to implement some of these ideas by supporting the college. Lee Witt, Dean of Students, BCIR, addressed the Council, noting that the college was located in the downtown area and was presently utilizing many existing facilities, including the Titus Building, the Moschel Medical Center, St. Anthony's Church, the Library, the Mexico Lindo Restaurant for food service, and possibly the Kent Commons. He noted that the college offers associate degrees in applied sciences and was a high tech school dealing primarily with computer programing, word and data processing and electronics. He clarified that the college was seeking endorsement of the City Council not as a means of advertisement but to assist in obtain- ing a portion of some $8,000,000 which the Private Industry Council in Seattle has available for training through the Job Training Partnership Act. Motion carried. Support of Kent School District Funding. JOHNSON MOVED to adopt Resolution No. 1054 supporting the Kent School.
