PREAMBLE This DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") between THE BOEING COMPANY ("Boeing"), a Delaware corporation, and the CITY OF KENT ("City"), a municipal corporation of the State of Washington, is entered into pursuant to the authority of ' RCW 36.70B.170 through .210, under which a local government may enter into a development agreement with an entity having ownership or control of real property within its jurisdiction. ' II. RECITALS A. Boeing is the owner of certain real property historically known as the Boeing Kent Space Center (the "Property"), located in the City of Kent, King County, Washington and more particularly described in EXHIBIT 1, attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. B. On May 2, 2002, the City issued approval with conditions for a 9-lot short , subdivision (see EXHIBIT 6 attached) of an approximately 67-acre portion of the Property commonly known as Pacific Gateway Division 11 ("Division I1"), which short subdivision was recorded on May 6, 2003 at King County, WA (Recording No. 20030506900014) (the "Division H Short Plat"), attached hereto as EXHIBIT 7. The location and extent of Division H is depicted on EXHIBIT 2, attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. C. On December 12, 2002, the City issued approval with conditions for a 4-lot short subdivision (See EXHIBIT 9 attached) of an approximately 26-acre portion of the ' Property commonly known as Pacific Gateway Division III ("Division III"), which short subdivision was recorded on February 13, 2003 at King County, WA (Recording No. 20030213900020) (the "Division III Short Plat"), attached hereto as EXHIBIT 10 and by this ' reference made a part hereof. The location and extent of Division III is depicted on EXHIBIT 3, attached hereto and by reference made a part hereof. , D. Concurrent with review of this Agreement, Boeing received preliminary approval of a 27-lot binding site plan (See EXHIBIT I I attached) for the approximately 136 ' remaining acres of the Property, commonly known as Pacific Gateway Division IV ("Division IV'). The final binding site plan once recorded shall be attached hereto as EXHIBIT 12 (the "Division IV Binding Site Plan") and by this reference made a part hereof. ' The location and extent of Division IV is depicted on EXHIBIT 4. E. It is anticipated that Divisions II, III and IV (Property) may be developed or redeveloped (which terms are referenced collectively herein as "development") in portions over an extended period of time. In light of this anticipated long-term buildout, the parties PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT—Page 2 of 16 (August 9,2004) (between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent) � 1 desire to establish required stormwater and transportation improvements necessary to support ' development of the Property, to vest future permit applications for lots within the Property on a rolling, 5-year basis, and to reach certain other agreements intended to enhance development consistency and predictability among the Divisions. The location and extent of the Property is shown on EXHIBIT 5. F. Kent City Code 12.04.825(C) requires execution of a development agreement, ' in accordance with RCW 36.70B.170, for binding site plans that contemplate an extended period of development. The code requires that such agreements shall govern at a minimum, the use and development of the property subject to the binding site plan, including: (1) vesting applicable to subsequent permits; (2) the manner in which each phase of the development will proceed to ensure that the road and utilities necessary to serve each phase of the development are constructed prior to the development of each phase; and (3) expiration of the agreement and all provisions therein. This Agreement is intended to meet the requirements of the code. NOW,THEREFORE, the City and Boeing agree as follows: III. AGREEMENT 1. Purpose ' The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is premised upon the Division II and III Short Plats, which have been previously approved and recorded, and the Division IV Binding Site Plan, which has been approved concurrent with this Agreement. The Agreement shall be ' used to implement phased infrastructure development upon the sale of the lots of Division IV, and to address traffic and stormwater improvements related to future expansion, redevelopment, or new development on the Property. The Agreement also has provisions for ' the vesting of certain development regulations for Divisions II, III and IV. In order to prepare for the possible future development of the Property while the Property remains in single ownership, Boeing intends to identify and design stormwater and transportation improvements to serve such development during the term of this Agreement in order to provide the City, Boeing, and any future developers of the Property with reasonable ' certainty regarding these infrastructure needs. The term of this Agreement is intended to be of adequate duration to provide for these established improvements to serve future development while acknowledging that most of the Property is not currently expected to ' develop outside of Boeing ownership. This Agreement shall apply to all future development of the Property during the term of the Agreement, as hereinafter defined. 2. Term of Agreement The "Term" of this Agreement shall be twenty (20) years from the recording date of this Agreement, unless both parties otherwise agree, during the year 2024, to either (a) execute a confirmation of the continuation of this Agreement for an additional twenty (20) years of the Term in substantially the form and content of EXHIBIT 20 attached hereto and ' PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT—Page 3 of 16 (August 9,2004) (between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent) by this reference made a part hereof or (b) amend the Agreement as they may deem reasonable and necessary. A confirmation of continuation of this agreement and/or any amendments that relate to an extension of the Term may require a public hearing as in ' accordance with Section 13 of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the requirements related to the Binding Site Plan Approval for Division IV, set forth in Sections 7 and 8 herein, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and continue ' to govern development with Division IV. 3. Vesting of Development Regulations , Future permit applications for development of the Property shall be reviewed under the development regulations in effect at the time of complete application, except with respect , to land use, zoning and site planning regulations. The land use, zoning, and site plan regulations in effect at the time of the effectiveness of this Agreement are attached hereto as EXHIBIT 21 ("Vested Development Regulations"), and future permit applications for ' development of the Property shall be reviewed pursuant to these regulations as follows: the Vested Development Regulations shall govern development of the Property until December 31, 2009 ("Initial Vesting Perio(f"). Following the Initial Vesting Period, this Agreement , establishes vesting for subsequent five-year periods ("Subsequent Five Year Vesting Periods"), starting on January 1 of the first year and ending December 31 of the fifth year, for ' the duration of the Term. At the beginning of each Subsequent Five Year Vesting Period, the land use, zoning, and site planning regulations in effect as of December 31 of the prior vesting period shall replace EXHIBIT 21 and this Agreement shall be automatically amended ' with said regulation through the re-recording of this Agreement with the new regulations attached. It shall be the responsibility of Boeing to re-record this Agreement at the beginning of each Subsequent Five Year Vesting Period. The property owner(s) subject to this ' Agreement may, at any time elect, in its (their) sole discretion, to conform to new development regulations that may from time to time be adopted by the City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City reserves the authority under RCW 36.70B.170(4) to impose new or different regulations to the extent required by a serious threat to public health and safety. , 4. Transportation Infrastructure and Mitigation (a) Credit for Prior Transportation Mitigation ' The City acknowledges Boeing's payment for transportation improvements serving ' development within the Property made under Local Improvement District Nos. 328 and 340. Except for the southbound right-turn lane at W. Valley and 208`i'identified in the Division IV MDNS, any future permit aplications for development of the Property that generate traffic ' impacts on South 196ffi/200` Street from East Valley Highway to Onllia Road and/or West Valley Highway from South 189th Street to South 212th Street shall not be subject to additional mitigation fees for system improvements on these roadways unless, at the time of permit application, the impacts cumulatively exceed, on a trip generation basis, the total trips anticipated by the Traffic Impact Study, as defined in Section 4(d), for future development of PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT-Page 4 of 16 (August 9,2004) ' (between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent) the Property. If at the time a complete permit application is submitted, the City has assessed a system development charge for one or more grade separation projects, the Property shall be subject to the assessment. Boeing does not, however, waive, and expressly reserves, the right to challenge the number of trips used by the City to calculate the dollar amount of the system development charge assessed for grade separation projects to the Property. (b) Division II ' The Division II Short Plat was analyzed for environmental impacts pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act ("SEPA"), which included the evaluation of potential traffic impacts resulting from the assumed build-out of Division II with an additional 1 million square feet of industrial park use over time and resulted in a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance ("Division II MDNS") issued February 26, 2002 (attached hereto as EXHIBIT 8 and by this reference made a part hereof). The parties acknowledge that the transportation improvements to support the future lot development of Division II have been established through the Division II MDNS (EXHIBIT 8) conditions and the Division II Short Plat conditions of approval (ENMIT 6). Following completion of construction of the required transportation improvements and any required inspections and approvals by the City, the conditions of the short plat shall be deemed met and no additional transportation improvements to mitigate total trip generation impacts in the Traffic Impact Study shall be required for future development permit applications,subject to subsection (a) and(d) herein and Section 9 of this Agreement. Each future development application for the Property shall be required to ' demonstrate, through an abbreviated traffic study or other acceptable technical document approved by the City, consistency with the Division II MDNS traffic impact analysis to allow for the City's adoption of the Division II MDNS, or incorporation of a supporting traffic ' report, to satisfy the City's responsibilities under SEPA for said application. If a determination of consistency is made by the City, all traffic impacts shall be deemed mitigated through the implementation of the Conditions/Mitigating Measures of the Division II MDNS and conditions of approval for Division II Short Plat. (c) Division III ' The parties acknowledge that the Division III Short Plat was categorically exempt from SEPA review. The parties also acknowledge that the Traffic Impact Study (EXHIBIT 14) prepared for the Division IV MDNS included the analysis of cumulative traffic impacts of the development of Division III. ' The parties acknowledge that the transportation improvements to support the future lot development of Division III have also been established through the Division III Short Plat conditions of approval (EXHIBIT 9). Following completion of construction of the required transportation improvements and any required inspections and approvals by the City, the conditions of the Division III Short Plat shall be deemed met and no additional transportation improvements to mitigate total trip generation impacts in the Traffic Impact Study shall be ' PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT—Page 5 of 16 (August 9,2004) (between The Boeing Company and the Cay of Kent) required for future development permit applications, subject to subsection (a) and (d) herein and Section 9 of this Agreement. Each future development application for the Property shall be required to demonstrate, through an abbreviated traffic study or other acceptable technical document approved by the City, consistency with the Division IV MDNS Traffic Impact Study to allow ' for the City's adoption of the Division IV MDNS, or the incorporation of a supporting traffic report, to satisfy the City's responsibilities under SEPA for said application. If a determination of consistency is made by the City, all traffic impacts shall be deemed ' mitigated through the implementation of the Conditions/Mitigating Measures of the Division III Short Plat conditions of approval and Division IV MDNS that pertain to development ' within Division III. (d) Division IV The Division IV Binding Site Plan was analyzed for environmental impacts pursuant to SEPA, which included the evaluation of potential traffic impacts resulting from the assumed build-out of Division IV with the potential additional development of 600,000 , square feet of industrial park use and the reuse and/or redevelopment of the existing 1.9 million square feet of industrial park use over time and resulted in a Mitigated Determination ' of Nonsignificance ("Division IV MDNS") issued December 2, 2003 (attached hereto as EXHIBIT 13 and by this reference made a part hereof). The Division IV MDNS was supported by a Traffic Impact Study attached hereto as , EXHIBIT 14 and by this reference made a part hereof("Traffic Impact Study"). The Traffic Impact Study and the Division IV MDNS identifies required mitigation in two separate forms , (a) Recommended Project Improvements and (b) the pro-rate share of the Recommended System Improvements. Recommended Project Improvements: The Recommended Project Improvements are , listed in the Traffic Impact Study and included within Attachment A of the Division IV Binding Site Plan. The completion of the Recommended Project Improvements shall be implemented on a lot-by-lot basis prior to, or in conjunction with, the transfer of any lot outside of the ownership of Boeing, or prior to or in conjunction with the issuance of a Project Related Building Permit, as defined in Section 7 of this Agreement, in conformance , with the schedule set forth on EXHIBIT 11 attached hereto (matrix). Recommended System Improvements: Boeing shall pay to the City their pro-rated , share of the Recommended System Improvements (see Division IV MDNS, mitigating condition #1). This amount shall be paid in full to the City prior to the recording of the Division IV Binding Site Plan. Due to the fact the Traffic Impact Study analyzed potential ' traffic impacts through the year 2010, during the year 2010, an updated Traffic Impact Study shall be submitted to the City for review and approval based on as then current development regulations, analyzing existing and future trip generation for the next (5) year period. The updated Traffic Impact Study, once reviewed and approved by the City, shall be appended to this Agreement and recorded as a supplement to EXHIBIT 14 hereto and shall remain valid PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT—Page 6 of 16 (August 9,2004) (between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent) for the succeeding (5) year period. Any additional pro-rated share of any new Recommended System Improvements shall be paid within 90 days of the City's approval of the updated Traffic Impact Study and prior to issuance of any development permit. This traffic study update process shall be completed every five (5) years after 2010, so long as this Agreement remains in effect. Each future development application for the Property shall be required to demonstrate, through an abbreviated traffic study or other acceptable technical document approved by the City, consistency with the Division IV MDNS Traffic Impact Study to allow for the City's adoption of the Division IV MDNS, or the incorporation of a supporting traffic ' report, to satisfy the City's responsibilities under the SEPA for said application. The Public Works Director shall have the discretion to determine incremental and total trip generation consistent with the ITE Trip generation Manual (latest ed.)for the purpose of establishing the appropriate trip generation for the specified use of a permit application. If a determination of consistency is made by the City, no additional transportation mitigation will be required so long as the estimated total PM peak hour trip generation of the proposed use remains at or below the 4,902 trips established in the Division IV MDNS on a cumulative basis for the Property as specified in greater detail by EXHIBIT 15 attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. In the event the City determines the impacts of the development for the proposed permit application are not fully mitigated through this consistency analysis, the City may prepare a new threshold determination, or otherwise require additional mitigation, as deemed appropriate at the time of application. If the City determines the payment made as ' required by this section represents more than the fair share for impacts generated by the property, based on any updated traffic study, the City may credit Boeing for said excess payment. So long as Boeing holds title to any portion of the Property, Boeing shall provide to the City a cumulative accounting of all then-existing development and Division IV mitigation ' previously performed at the time of each project permit application, substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT 16 and by this reference made a part hereof. In the event the City adopts a Growth Management Act, Ch. 36.70A RCW, impact fee ordinance in conformance with the requirements of RCW 82.02.050 et seq., the City acknowledges that the payments made by Boeing as required by this section are being made for "system improvements reasonably related to the new development," as defined therein, and the property owner(s) of property subject to this Agreement shall not be required to pay traffic impact fees under any new ordinance as prohibited by RCW 82.02.100 provided no additional impacts are revealed in any subsequent updated traffic studies. Provided, however, this impact fee prohibition does not apply to system development charges for grade separation projects provided for in section 4(a). (e) Traffic Circulation 1 A conceptual "Traffic Circulation Plan" is attached as EXHIBIT 17 and by this reference made a part hereof, which identifies six access connections to the existing public PACIHC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT—Page 7 of 16 (August 9,2004) (between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent) rights of way and two future internal circulation access routes on 204`h and 208'h anticipated to serve future development of the Property, and in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. For all future development of the Property the six access connections shall be ' provided consistent with the Traffic Circulation Plan and as supported by the Traffic Impact Study, unless otherwise approved or restricted by the Public Works Director. Project Related Building Permit Applications shall provide access routes and rights-of-way consistent with ' the Traffic Circulation Plan in conformance with related conditions of the Division IV Binding Site Plan. 5. Stormwater Improvements (a) Division II , The Division II Short Plat was analyzed for environmental impacts pursuant to SEPA, which included the evaluation of potential stormwater impacts resulting from the assumed maximum impervious build-out of the Division II with development of an additional 1 million square feet of industrial park use and approximately 53 acres of impervious coverage over time and resulted in a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignifcance ("Division 11 ' MDNS") issued February 26, 2002 (attached hereto as EXHIBIT 8 and by this reference made a part hereof). The parties acknowledge that stormwater improvements required by the Division II N DNS and the Division II Short Plat approval, including an on-site public detention/water quality pond system, have been completed and are adequate to support the level of development analyzed in support of the Division II SEPA review. The constructed improvements shall be deemed to satisfy all current and future storm water detention and water quality treatment requirements for all future permit applications, except as otherwise provided in Subsection (d) of this Section. (b) Division III ' The parties acknowledge that the Division III Short Plat was exempt from SEPA review, and that the storm water detention and water quality treatment requirements for the future project permit applications for the potential future development and lot transfer of the Division III shall be governed by the Division III Short Plat conditions of approval (EXHIBIT 9). The parties also acknowledge that the engineering plans addressing , stormwater management for the Division IV Binding Site Plan, as set forth in Section 5(c), may include a consolidated solution to stormwater management for both Division IV and Division III. , (c) Division IV ' The Division IV Binding Site Plan was analyzed for environmental impacts pursuant to SEPA, which included the evaluation of the potential stormwater impacts resulting from the assumed future maximum impervious build-out of Division IV Binding Site Plan with ' approximately 123 acres of impervious coverage and the additional new development of PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT—Page 8 of 16 (August 9,2004) (between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent) 600,000 square feet of industrial park use and the re-use or redevelopment of the 1.9 million ' square feet of existing industrial park use over time and resulted in a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance ("Division IV MDNS") issued December 2, 2003 (attached hereto as EXHIBIT 13 and by this reference made a part hereof). The parties acknowledge that the stormwater improvements required by the Division IV MDNS and the Division IV Binding Site Plan approval shall govern the stormwater ' improvements for stormwater quantity control (detention) and quality control (water quality treatment) for future lot build-out (development and redevelopment) for all property governed by the Division IV Binding Site Plan. ' Prior to the recording the Division IV Binding Site Plan, Boeing shall submit detailed construction plans to the City (PWD) for review and approval addressing stormwater I management for the Division IV in accordance with BSP Conditions B.13. The completion or the stormwater improvements shown on the "approved" plans shall be implemented on a phased construction schedule, as set forth on EXHIBIT 11 attached hereto (matrix) prior to, ' or to conjunction with, the transfer of any lot outside of the ownership of Boeing, or prior to or in conjunction with issuance of a Project Related Building Permit, as defined in Section 7 of this Agreement. ' The "approved" plans shall serve as the required stromwater improvements for stormwater quantity control (detention) and quality control (water quality treatment) for all ' project permit applications for all future lot development of Division IV, except as otherwise provided in Subsection (d) of this Section. (d) Water Quality Special Provision The City may modify the stormwater improvements described in subsection 5.(a), (b), ' and (c) above and require additional water quality improvements if any of the following circumstances occur during the term of this Agreement: ' 1) The City reasonably believes, in good faith, that the City's approval of a project permit application under the terms of this Agreement would result in a decision by a State or Federal administrative agency, or a Court of competent jurisdiction, that the City's eligibility for funding, grants, program eligibility or other resources sought by the City would be materially impaired; 2) The City reasonably believes, in good faith, that the City's approval of a project permit application under the terms of this Agreement would result in a decision by a State or Federal administrative agency, or a Court of competent jurisdiction, that the City ' unlawfully failed to comply with the Endangered Species Act, Clean Water Act, or other State or Federal laws or regulations relating to water quality; or 3) A State or Federal statute or regulation requires the City to adopt stormwater regulations to address cumulative water quality impacts on an area wide or City- wide basis and the City reasonably believes, in good faith, that the City's failure to apply said ' PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT—Page 9 of 16 (August 9,2004) (between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent) regulations to the property subject to this Agreement would result in municipal liability for the City. Modifications under this subsection shall only be to the extent necessary to address the applicant's proportionate share of such cumulative standard. Any modification or addition to the approved and constructed stormwater improvements that is required as a result of one of the foregoing conditions occurring shall ' be limited to the minimum necessary to avoid the consequences described herein. The parties agree that the City shall attempt to, but not be obligated to, provide written notice to Boeing prior to City Council action on a proposed modification when the City believes any , of the above circumstances have arisen. Boeing shall have the right, at its sole discretion and expense, to seek recourse from the appropriate administrative or judicial body. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement is not intended to relieve Boeing or ' any property owner subject to this Agreement from compliance with the Clean Water Act, including, but not limited to, regulations requiring retrofitting of existing stormwater facilities to correct nonconforming conditions that do not meet state and/or federal stormwater regulation mandated by state and federal authorities. , 6. Boeing Ditch Agreement and Sensitive Areas Ordinance Compliance Boeing and the City entered an easement agreement relating to the use of property owned by Boeing known as the "Boeing Ditch" or "Boeing Creek," and more particularly described on EXHIBIT B to said agreement, King County Recording No. 20030123000744 ("the Boeing Ditch Agreement"), attached as EXHIBIT 18 hereto and incorporated herein in full by this reference. Said easement was granted to the City for the purpose of allowing for conveyance system improvements, habitat enhancement, riparian plantings, and to establish a ' stream setback for development on the Property for lots adjacent to the Boeing Creek. Pursuant to the Division II MDNS, the Boeing Ditch Agreement was required to establish compliance with the City's sensitive areas ordinance for future lot development on lots within ' the Property adjacent to Boeing Creek. Permit applications for lots adjacent to Boeing Creek governed by the Boeing Ditch Agreement shall conform to the requirements of said agreement and no further review or approval under the City's sensitive areas ordinance shall be required for all development that is consistent with said agreement. 7. Phased Division IV Binding Site Plan Framework The Division IV Binding Site Plan anticipates phased development of property within Division IV over time. Technical documents supporting the Division IV Binding Site Plan and related analysis under SEPA include the identification of transportation infrastructure elements, transportation circulation elements, utility elements and stormwater management elements for Division IV based upon maximum development and redevelopment assumptions to serve each phase. All future permit applications for the Property will be reviewed pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the related Approvals, and the SEPA process as that may apply to individual permit applications. PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT—Page 10 of 16 (August 9,2004) (between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent) Because development may not occur immediately following the effective date of this Agreement, recording of the final Division IV Binding Site Plan is required within two (2) years of preliminary binding site plan approval and all prerequisite conditions thereto identified in section B of the binding site plan conditions (EXHIBIT 11) shall be completed. A one time one (1) year extension may be granted by the City upon receipt of a written request from Boeing provided such request is submitted prior to the two (2) year expiration. Prior to, or in conjunction with, the transfer of any lot outside of the ownership of Boeing, or prior to or in conjunction with the issuance of a Project Related Building Permit, the conditions of section C of the BSP-2003-1 (EXHIBIT 11) shall be completed on a lot-by- lot basis according to Attachment A (EXHIBIT 11) (matrix). For purposes of this Agreement, "Project Related Building Permit" shall mean all building permits for development activity associated with a fee conveyance of property from Boeing to a non- Boeing entity. For any building permit, as deemed necessary by the Public Works Director, that is not a Project Related Building Permit the conditions of section C of the BSP-2003-1 shall not apply, except as follows: a) conditions C.9., C.10., and C.H., and only the Recommended Project Improvements (see section 4.(d)) shall be completed on a lot-by-lot basis according to Attachment A (EXHIBIT I1)(matrix) and, b) stormwater improvements shall be completed as required by Attachment A on lot by lot basis or according to an acceptable alternative, approved by the City, to provide onsite detention and water quality improvements on a lot-by-lot basis in accordance with design standards and regulations in affect at the time of submission of a complete building permit application. ' 8. Minor Adjustments to Division IV Binding Site Plan I Minor adjustments to the Binding Site Plan approval may be authorized by the City per Kent City Code 12.04.840. The following are examples of changes to the Division IV Binding Site Plan that will be deemed by the City to involve a minor adjustment and not require new binding site plan approval under the Kent City Code: a) adjustments of lot lines through the boundary line adjustment process that do not increase the number of resulting lots, b) adjustments in the dimension or location of buildings that do not violate then current setback requirements, zoning code regulations, or uniform codes adopted by the City, c) adjustments that do not result in substantial changes, as determined by the planning manager or public works director, in the design or location of access, parking, circulation, drainage, public utility improvements, or easements, d) minor lot consolidation applications that combine lots, and e) incorporations of changes showing permitted/constructed improvements, including but not limited to, building locations, parking, landscape areas, drive aisles, and the like. 9. Adequacy of SEPA Mitigation ' The City acknowledges the previously prepared environmental documents referenced herein for the purposes of satisfying its responsibilities under SEPA for the subject matters ' covered by this Agreement. To the extent that future impacts associated with new development of the Property are consistent with the identified prior SEPA approvals, no PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT—Page 11 of 16 (August 9,2004) (between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent) further SEPA mitigation will be required for any future permit applications so long as the City can rely on said environmental documents for the purposes of complying with its responsibilities under SEPA through the adoption of said documents. To the extent ' practicable, the City will rely on existing SEPA documents to support permit applications in a manner consistent with WAC 197-11-600(4). 10. Notification of Property Transfer Agreement In conjunction with the transfer of any lot within Division IV, Boeing shall notify the City of said transfer in accordance with the Notification of Property Transfer Agreement attached hereto as EXHIBIT 19 and by this reference made a part hereof and incorporated herein. The City and Boeing shall execute said Notification of Property Transfer Agreement within ten (10) days of the date of this Agreement. For property within Division III, the form of the property transfer notice shall conform to the Division III Short Plat condition of approval (condition A.10), unless the Division III Short Plat has been vacated and then the , requirements of this section shall apply to property transfers pertaining to Division III property. 11. Execution,Recording and Effective Date The City shall cause this Agreement to be executed by its authorized representative, within seven (7) days of its approval by the Kent City Council and receipt of an executed Agreement by the authorized representative of Boeing. Within ten (10) days following mutual execution of this Agreement, the City shall cause this Agreement to be recorded with ' the Real Property Records Division of the King County Records and Elections Department. This Agreement shall become effective upon recording. 12. Successors and Assigns This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of Boeing and the City and their successors in interest, and may be assigned to successors in interest to the Property. Consent by the City shall not be required for any transfer of rights pursuant to this Agreement. Upon any such transfer, the transferee shall be entitled to all interests and rights and be subject to all obligations under this Agreement. Upon assignment and assumption by the assignee(s) of all obligations under this Agreement, Boeing shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement as pertain to the particular interest assigned. 13. Amendment This Agreement shall not be modified or amended without the express written approval of the City and Boeing. Minor amendments to this Agreement shall not, except to the extent otherwise required by law, require notice and a public hearing unless the ' amendment relates to an extension of the Term or modification of Vested Development Regulations as identified in Section III.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City retains the authority to review and approve minor amendments in an open public meeting if such a minor modification may be of interest or concern to the public. PACIFIC GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT—Page 12 of 16 (August 9,2004) ' (between The Boeing Company and the City of Kent) of Existing Uses 14. Continuationg The City acknowledges that the Property contains a number of uses, some of which may be nonconforming at the time future permit applications for redevelopment are submitted to the City. If a future permit application for the redevelopment of a lot on the Property contains a nonconforming use, redevelopment shall comply with Kent City Code section 15.08.100 pertaining to nonconfornung development. 1 AGREED this day of 2004.

located within the property owned by Boeing known as the Kent Space Center- It is currently developed with buildings and related improvements,with vanous uses,on each of the proposed lots The plat is being proposed to allow for possible redevelopment and/or sale of the lots,although no i specific plan for such redevelopment is well defined at the present time BOE/NG i Buildings may be retained,reconstructed,or demolished over time,depending on future uses,but no specific buildings on any of the proposed lots are scheduled for demolition or reconstruction at this time. Each of the proposed lots is served by utilities,has access to public streets and transportation systems in the City,and ' I contains parking and landscaping- No vegetation exists on any of the lots,with the exception of maintained landscaping_ Each of the lots is greater than I acre in j size,the current City minimum for industrial park property The proposed plat will utilize an existing stormwater pond on an identified"Tract X"to serve stormwater purposes for the lots within the new plat- The property contains no critical areas,and the proposed plat has been determined by the City's responsible SEPA official to be categorically exempt from environmental review- As the approval of the plat will not create any immediate need for the I connection to City utility services,nor any immediate need for public streets,no such improvements are being proposed in conjunction with plat approval ' However,in the event Boeing sells any of the lots,certain improvements will be proposed to assure each lot is served by necessary public services without relying on Boeing's internal network of utility services_ Other code requirements,such as those related to pedestrian connections and the like, are expected to be addressed in future development permits if such permits are submitted to the City for approval in conjunction with any lot redevelopment It is also anticipated, depending on any future redevelopment,that additional stormwater or other utility improvements could be required However,until such improvements are identified as being needed,i e,the upgrading of the existing storm pond,no such improvements are proposed for the short plat ' - We believe the staff recommended conditions reflect the relevant facts and support the conditions presented With respect to the record before you,we request you take into consideration all documents submitted by Boeing in the application process and as set forth here today With this record,the staff i recommendation adequately recommends the inclusion of conditions designed to address the uniqueness of the proposed plat,i.e,for existing developed property held under single ownership by a property owner rather than a property developer I ' Exhibit Filed Date peno:v+noa}ooC) ' City of Kent 5+1cQi S.Aay.S� con....,rctfs EXHIBIT 10 IIE1 bE) � lvlaw9lw n3TYn 1F3M I fi t6FF1 r� ~ m OZm y_ y_x i 7 $kcE`eg g aM rr :a �: aa_.

Approximately 1.9 million square feet of existing uses(office,manufacturing,and storage)would be redeveloped. Therefore the net increase in building area as a result of PGBP-IV is , approximately 600,000 square feet- As part of the PGBP-fV redevelopment, S 204th Street and S 208d' Street are proposed to be extended to S 59d'Place This would provide an east west link through the PGBP-IV site between West Valley Highway and S 59t' Place. Per the request of the City of Kent, a future analysis was also completed with PGBP- IV and an additional 12 million square feet of industrial park use on PGBP-I ' Trip Generation. The full redevelopment of the PGBP-IV site is estimated to generate a total of 11,172 net new weekday daily velucle trips, of which 1,476 , trips are estimated to occur during the a-m. peak hour (1,356 entering, 120 exiting) and 1,297 trips are estimated to occur during the p.m. peak hour (125 entering, I,I 72 exiting) A trip generation credit was taken for the existing uses to be redeveloped. The analysis included in this report does not take into account ' potential trip reductions from a successful TNT program. Therefore,the analysis included in this report could be considered somewhat conservative Intersection Operational Analysis. A p m peak hour level of service (LOS) ' analysis was conducted for the horizon year 2010 at 30 signalized study intersections, one roundabout, and two unsignalized study intersections Twelve of the 30 signalized study intersections are expected to operate at LOS E or LOS F , in 2010 without the PGBP-IV redevelopment. A total of 13 signalized study intersections are expected to operate at LOS E or F in 2010 with the PGBP-IV redevelopment. A detailed discussion of the future year 2010 LOS results at the , signalized intersections is included on page 30 and in table 4 on page 31. A detailed discussion of the year 2010 LOS results at the roundabout at 42nd Ave S/S 216"'Street and the unsignalized intersections on 59th Place S is included on page 32 Concurrency. Transportation Concurrency was measured in five of the City's Mobility Management Zones (MMZs) Each of the five MMZs analyzed are expected to operate better than the City's acceptable arterial threshold upon full redevelopment in the year 2010. Therefore, the Division IV development was determined to meet the City's concurrency standards. In addition, it should be noted that Boeing has contributed several million dollars towards multiple corridor projects to help work towards the goal of improved mobility throughout the City. t -6 Tiansporut'wn Engineering NorthWex v August 6,2003 L� Pacific Gateway Business Park-IV Traffic Impact Study Percent of Project Trips at Study Intersections. At the study intersections adjacent to the PGBP-fV site,the trips generated by the PGBP-IV redevelopment are estimated to account for between approximately five and twenty percent of the total entering traffic during the p.m.peak hour in 2010. However,project trips are expected to decrease to between one and ten percent of the total entering traffic in 2010 at the study intersections outside a one block radius of the PGBP-IV site ' Queuing Analysis. Vehicle queuing during the p.m. peak hour was analyzed for 2010 conditions with and without the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV at the 30 ' signalized study Intersections_ There are 41 movements (at 20 of the 30 signalized study intersections) that are anticipated to exceed the available queue storage in 2010 without the PGBP-IV development and 42 movements(at 22 of the 30 signalized study intersections) that are anticipated to exceed the available queue storage in 2010 with full redevelopment of PGBP-IV. A detailed discussion of the year 2010 queuing analysis is included on pages 35 and 36. Improvements for Consideration. Per the City of Kent, signalized intersections expected to operate at LOS E or F and left-or right-turn lanes with queues estimated to exceed the existing storage in 2010 with full redevelopment of PGBP-IV were identified. Tables S and 9 on pages 37 through 42 provide a 1 - complete summary of the improvements that were considered to improve operations at the study intersections meeting these criteria_ Feasible Intersection Improvements. The criteria used to determine the feasibility of an improvement was primanly based on whether or not right of way would be required from others for the improvement. Table 10 on page 43 summarizes the intersection improvements that were determined to be feasible at intersections expected to operate at LOS E or F or with queues expected to exceed the existing storage in 2010 with full redevelopment of PGBP-N- Recommended Improvements. Recommendations for project and system improvements with the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV were developed based on the list of feasible intersection improvements. Project improvements were defined as improvements providing direct access to or from the PGBP-IV site and are recommended upon full redevelopment of PGBP-IV at the following intersections: • 62ndAve S/S 196`h Street(Intersection#1) L • Extend the dual northbound left-turn lanes to accommodate the anticipated 525 foot queue(per lane). • West Valley Hwy/S 1990 Place(intersection 42) ' Construct an additional eastbound left-turn lane In addition, modify the signal phasing to include east/west split phasing. Tra uportatmn Engineering NorthWest vi August 6,2003 =i Pacific Gateway Bminm Park-IV Traffic Impact Study • West Valley Hwy/S 208'Street(Intersection#4) It is recommended that one of the following potential improvements be implemented at this location: a) Construct a southbound right-turn lane, modify the eastbound approach to add an eastbound right-turn lane,and convert the eastbound through lane to a shared left-dim lane. Also remove the crosswalk on ' the north leg, and modify the signal phasing to include east/west split phasing. OR b) Provide an internal connection between S 204' Street and S 208" Street on the PGBP-IV site. This would allow exiting vehicles destined northbound to exit at either S 204'"Street or S 208m Street. ' • S 204'h Stl5e PIS and S 208m St/59'h PIS(Intersections#32!) It is recommended that these intersections be monitored as re , development of the PGBP-IV site continues to determine if/when a signal may be appropriate in the future. System improvements were defined as improvements not specifically related to , the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV where the increase in traffic volumes at the intersection is primarily due to the increase in background traffic. A contribution from PGBP-IV is recommended at the following intersections if improvements are built by the City or others: • 64`"Ave S/S Me Street(Intersection #7) Either extend the northbound left-tum lane by 125 feet or contribute a pro-rata share (45 percent = 125'1275') toward the construction of the ultimate improvement(475' left-turn pocket)at this location • !rest Valley Hwy/S 1961h Street(Intersection #9) Construct an eastbound right-turn lane. If the City or others plan to build this improvement, it would be appropriate for the project to pay its pro-rata share(7.6•/u)of the cost of the improvement • West Valley Highway/Meeker Street(Intersection#15) , The project is not expected to increase the queue for the northbound left-turn, which is expected to exceed the available storage in 2010 Therefore, no specific improvement is recommended by the project at this location. However, the City should consider removing the traffic island for the northbound left-tum to accommodate 525 feet of queue storage. ' Transportation Engineering NorthWest vli August 6,2003 l l Pacific Gateway Business Park-IV Traffic Impact Study • East Valley Hwy/S 208'Street(Intersection#21) Modify the east/west phasing to include permitted left-turn phasing and extend the southbound left-turn lane to provide 475 feet of queue storage If the City or others plan to build this improvement, it would be appropriate for the project to pay its pro-rata share(5.3%)of the cost ' of the improvements. • East Valley Hwy/S 196t°Street(Intersection#29) Modify the traffic signal to facilitate an eastbound right-turn "overlap" phase and modify the east/west phasing to include permitted left-turn phasing. If the City or others plan to build these improvements, it would be appropriate for the project to pay its pro-rats share(7.0%)of the cost of the improvements- West Valley Hwy/Willis Street(Intersection#30) Modify the traffic signal and provide channelization improvements to facilitate a westbound right-turn "overlap"phase- If the City or others ' plan to build these improvements, it would be appropriate for the project to pay its pro-rata share(5.7%)of the cost of the improvements Additional Analysis. Per the request of the City of Kent, two additional development scenarios were analyzed • 2010 with PGBP-N and an additional 1.2 million sf industrial park use on PGBP-1 • 2010 with PGBP-IV and an additional 12 million sf Industrial park use on PGBP-1 and restricted access (access to and from the PGBP-rV ' development would be limited to the intersections of West Valley Highway/S 204a'Street(#3)and 64 h Avenue S1S 212'I'Street(47))_ With PGBP-111 and an Additional L2M sf Industrial Park an PGBP-L There are two additional signalized study intersections that are anticipated to operate at LOS E or F with PGBP-rV and an additional 1.2 million sf on PGBP-I when compared to 2010 with PGBP-fV only. LOS improvements for consideration were identified at these additional two intersections to improve operations with PGBP-IV and an additional 1.2 million sf on PGBP-I. The LOS improvements are summarized to table 14 on page 57. There are 17 movements (which were anticipated to exceed the available queue storage with PGBP-IV ordy) for which the 95t° percentile queues are expected to increase as a result of the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV and an additional 1.2 million sf on PGBP-I These movements are expected to exceed the available storage with or without the additional 1 2 million sf on PGBP-I. Improvements i for consideration were identified to improve these locations with PGBP-IV and an additional 1 2 million sf on PGBP-I These improvements for consideration are summarized in table 15 on pages 58 through 59. t, ff Transpo tufa,Engineems NmthWest viii August 6,2003 (i i Pacific Gateway Business Park-IV Traffic Impact Study nth PGBP-IV and an Additional I.2M sf Industrial Park on PGBP-I with Access Restrictions. For the scenario in which access to and from the PGBP-1V site would be restricted to the signalized intersections of West Valley Highway/S 204d' Street (43) and 64d' Avenue S/S 21P Street (0), five of the nine study intersections analyzed would be expected to operate at LOS E or F. As a result of the redistribution of PGBP-IV trips with the access restrictions, there are a number of queue lengths that are anticipated to increase as a result of the access restrictions. The 95d' percentile queues for left- and right-turn movements exiting the PGBP-TV site are expected to range from 700 to 2000 feet The 95d' percentile queues for the northbound left-turn at S 196r" Street/West Valley Highway and the eastbound left-turn at S 212d' Street/West Valley Highway are expected to extend to the adjacent signalized intersections, thus block access for left-turn movements at the adjacent intersections. Therefore, to improve the operations with the restricted access scenario, additional access points with gates would need to be provided to better distribute entering and exiting vehicles to the PGBP-IV site. A detailed discussion of the LOS and queue results with restricted access is included on page 63- l i Transportation Engineering TlorckWest Ix Al1gr6!6,2003 t t Pxific Gateway BEMM lark-IV Traffic Impact Study INTRODUCTION This traffic impact study has been prepared for the Pacific Gateway Business Park ' Division IV(PGBP-IV)development located in Kent, Washington. The PGBP-IV redevelopment includes the development of approximately 2.5 million square feet (sf) of office space on land within the existing Boeing Space Center Campus. Approximately 1.9 million square feet of existing uses(office,manufacturing,and storage)would be redeveloped with the development of PGBP-IV. Therefore the net increase in building area as a result of PGBP-IV is approximately 600,000 square feet. This document discloses the estimated traffic conditions both with and without the development of PGBP-IV The future baseline condition analyzed in this study includes the traffic generated by the proposed PGBP-I (2.4 million square feet of industrial park use), PGBP-11 (1 0 million square feet of industrial park use),and PGBP-III(subdivision of one existing tax parcel into four separate lots— no new trips). Per the request of the City of Kent, a future analysis was also completed with PGBP-IV and an additional 1.2 million square feet of industrial park use on PGBP-l. The PGBP-IV site is located west of West Valley Highway between S 212t"Street and S 1960' Street in the City of Kent (see figure 1). As part of the PGBP-N redevelopment,S 204d'Street and S 209th Street are proposed to be extended to S 590 Place. This would provide an east west link through the PGBP-lV site between West Valley Highway and S 59u' Place. Access to the PGBP-IV site is proposed to be provided via the following existing signalized intersections: • 62nd Avenue S/S 196`"Street(Study Intersection 91) t • West Valley Highway/S 199r"Place(02) • West Valley Highway/S 204t"Street(0) • West Valley Highway/S 208'Street(#4) • 64`"Avenue S/S 2121"Street(#7) ' • 59th Place S/S 212t"Street(98) Per the request of the City of Kent, an additional analysis was completed for a scenario in which access to the PGBP-iV site would be limited to only the intersections of West Valley Highway/S 204"' Street (Intersection #3) and 640' Avenue S/S 212'"Street(Intersection 47) t.

Therefore, 30 signalized intersections were identified as study intersections. In addition, the City of Kent requested that one existing roundabout (at 42"d Avenue S/S 216a' Street)and the two future on-site i intersections on 59d'Place S at S 204d'Street and S 2086'Street be included in the analysis.

In the site vicinity, West Valley Highway is a seven-lane north-south principal arterial with a posted speed limit of 50 mules per hour. Based on City of Kent 2001 traffic counts, West Valley Highway (north of S 204'h Street) tames approximately 35,700 vehicles per day(vpd). The West Valley Highway corridor provides a continuous link between the City of Renton to the north and the City of Sumner to the south. In the site vicinity,S 212`'Street is a seven-lane east-west principal arterial with a posted speed lumt of 40 miles per hour. Based on City of Kent 2001 traffic counts, S 212'h Street(west of 64 Avenue S) tames approximately 25,700 vpd The S 212'h Street corridor provides an east-west connection between 1-5 and SR 167 East of West Valley Highway, S 212'h Street includes eastbound and westbound High Occupancy Vehicle(HOV)lanes } In the site vicinity,the S 19616/200'h Street corridor is a five-lane east-west minor arterial with a posted speed liriut of 35 miles per hour. Based on City of Kent 2001 traffic counts, S 196h Street (west of West Valley Highway) carries approximately 12,400 vpd The S 196h/200'h Street corridor provides an east- west route through the City of Kent between Orillia Road and East Valley Highway. Peak-Hour Traffic Volumes Weekday p.m. peak hour traffic volume data was collected in 2002 and 2003 at the 31 existing study intersections (30 signalized and one roundabout). The weekday p.m peak hour traffic volumes represent the highest hourly volume of vehicles passing through an intersection on a typical weekday during the 4:00 to 6-00 p.m. peak period. Traffic counts conducted in 2001 showed that traffic _ volumes near the site were approximately 15 to 20 percent lower during the weekday a.m.peak hour when compared to the weekday p in peak hour volumes. Therefore, the weekday p in peak hour was analyzed in this study because it represents the time period where the combination of background traffic volumes and project-generated traffic volumes are expected to be at their peak. 1 An annual growth rate of 2 percent was applied to the 2002 traffic volumes to estimate year 2003 p.m_ peak hour traffic volumes The annual growth rate of 2 percent is consistent with the growth rate projected by the Puget Sound Regional Tnrrspo taann Engineering NoroWw 7 August 6,?M3 i Pacific Gateway Business Park-IV Traffx Impact Study Council (PSRC)for the Puget Sound region and is also consistent with the growth , rate assumed by other projects recently approved by the City of Kent Figure 3 shows year 2003 p.m- peak hour traffic volumes at the 31 existing study intersections Transit Service King County-Metro Transit provides public transportation services along the , PGBP-I site frontage on West Valley Highway and S 196s Street.

The existing channelization at the study intersections is illustrated in figure 4. Existing signal timing used in the analysis, including phase sequences, minimum pedestrian clearance tunes,yellow change intervals, and red clearance times was based on information included in the City of Kent's Synchro network as of July 2003. Level of service serves as an indicator of the quality of traffic flow and degree of I congestion at an intersection or roadway segment. It is a measure of vehicle operating speed, travel time,travel delays, and driving comfort. Level of service is generally described by a letter scale from A to F. LOS A represents free-flow conditions, i e. motorists experience little or no delays, and LOS F represents forced-flow conditions. Table 1 summarizes the delay range for each level of service at signalized and unsignalized intersections. The methods used to calculate the levels of service are described in the Highway Capacity Manual(Special Report 209, Transportation Research Board,2000). The LOS reported for signalized intersections is based on the overall average control delay(sec/veh) at the intersection. The LOS at stop- controlled intersections is based on the average control delay (sec/veh) and is reported for each movement.

To determine the net trips associated with full redevelopment of PGBP-IV, trips from the existing uses to be redeveloped were estimated and then subtracted from trips estimated to be generated by the proposed future uses. f The proposed PGBP-IV development includes a total of approximately 2.5 million square feet of office development. The project would likely be developed in five sub-divisions located within the PGBP-IV site. The sub-divisions were established based on the anticipated access routes for each sub-division Appendix B includes a figure that defines the boundaries for each sub-division and the anticipated access routes The trips associated with the existing land uses to be redeveloped were estimated based on trip rates associated with the entire Boeing Kent Space Center facility (approximately 3 rmlbon square feet). The existing uses to be redeveloped include a total of approximately 19 million square feet(1.2 million square feet of office use, 600,000 square feet of manufacturing use, and 80,000 square feet of warehouse use) Trip generation equations documented in the ITE Trip Generation manual were used in the trip estimate for both the future proposed use and the existing on-site uses based on Figure 3 1 Recommended Procedures for Selecting Between Trip Generation Average Rates and Equations included in the ITE Trip Generation Handbook The trip generation for the PGBP-N development is summarized in table 3.

Affected employers are required to implement programs that encourage employees to reduce their proportion of single-occupant vehicle commute trips (SOV rate), as well as vehicle-miles traveled per employee(VMT). The law does not mandate what or bow many transportation demand management (TDM) elements the worksites should use. That is left to the discretion of the worksite, although the employer may be required to enhance its program in subsequent years if the site's SOV rate and/or VMT indicate that there has been no progress made in achieving goals or if there is an apparent lack of"good faith .i 20 August 6,2003 Transportation Engineering Northwest Pacific Gateway Bunness Park-IV Traffic Impact Study ' effort" on the part of the employer to ensure the program's success. The following are typical TDM elements • Parking Management ; i • Financial Incentives/Subsidies • Alternative Work Schedules 4 . Tetework • Fleet Vehicles for CTR • Site Amenities tA TDM program should be considered to reduce the number of employees travoling by SOV. It should be noted that the trip generation estimate for the full t redevelopment of PGBP-IV does not take into account potential trip reductions from a successful TDM program Therefore, the analysts included in this report could be considered conservative r Trip Distribution and Assignment The net change in p in peak hour trips generated by the PGBP-IV development on ' the study intersections was determined by subtracting the trips associated with full 1 use of the existing uses to be redeveloped(entitled trips)from the estimated trips generated by the proposed uses on PGBP-IV. The distribution of the trips from the proposed uses was based on information included in the Pacific Gateway Business Park—Kent Revised Site Circulation and Access Analysis. Based on the study, approximately 20 percent of traffic generated from the site would originate or be destined to the north, 20 percent would originate or be destined to the south, 25 percent would originate or be destined to the east, and 35 percent would originate or be destined to the west The local distribution of project trips assumes the extension of S 200 Street and S 2086'Street from West Valley Highway to 59"'Place S Figure 5 shows the assignment of the net change in the p in. peak hour trips j generated by the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV onto the roadway network through the study area intersections Some of the study intersections shown in Figure 5 show a net decrease in trips(i.e.64" Avenue S/S 212th Street)as a result of the PGBP-fV development. This is due to the difference in the distribution of entitled trips and the estimated future trips associated with the PGBP-IV site. The distribution of PGBP-IV trips assumes the extension of S 204"'Street and S 2081h Street from West Valley Highway to 59"'Place$- These new connections would provide additional access points to and from the PGBP-IV site which do not exist today- r Tramporution Engineering Nonhwea 21 August b,2003 t l - f_Y f 'S 62nd Ave SJS 196th St W Valley Hwy/S 199th PI W Valley Hwy/S 204th SI W Valley Hwy/S 2081h St t—(38) F m �2 361 (283) 184—'0( t (2) (19)_, 1 1 (1) 47� a Cn 214 C 7� .^..n 223� ro ry t r W Valley Hwy/S 212th St 66th Ave SIS 212th St 64th Ave SIS 212th SI 59th PI SIS 212th St � 21 n C ~ m -t 4 E—29 (17) 74 ( (4) 0 (420) 25 (12) (100)--;( 105 ' r (99)—� (101)-0 35— 1 T (112)-31- (54)-� 112 i • W Valley Hwy/S 196th St I Or11ha Rd/S 2`0M St W Valley Hwy/Todd Blvd W Valley Hwy/S 19M St t �6 � ' 421 i R 7/ ty 100 1 60 r I f fnV y W Valley Hwy/S 2281h St W Valley Hwy/James St W Valley Hwy/Meeker St 42nd Ave S/S 212th SI m y �( �K—62 I �I LEGEND ( F- 35 - Nei maease m P M Peak Hour Tnps 4 (35)- "deuease m P M Peak Hare Tres Ir l i Figure 5 Pacific Gateway Transportation Assignment of Net New Business Park IV ss Engineering g NorthWest P.M.

The annual growth rate of 2 percent used to estimate growth in background traffic is consistent with the growth rate projected by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) for the Puget Sound region and is also consistent with the growth rate assumed by other projects approved by the City of Kent- The future pipeline projects included in the 2010 baseline traffic volumes include: • PGBP-I(2.4 million square feet of industrial park) • PGBP-fl(1 0 million square feet of industrial park) • PGBP-Ul(no new square feet) • Polygon Multifamily Development(67 units) I Based on the July 2003 traffic counts that were conducted at the entrances to the Boeing Kent Space Center site, the existing site currently generates 1,055 p-m peak hour trips, with less than full occupancy or utilization. However, it is our understanding that this is considered a short-term trend for purposes of analysis given the cyclic nature of current uses on the site. Therefore, ITE Trip Generation Manual was used to estimate the number of trips that could be generated by the existing site. If fully occupied, the existing uses would be expected to generate a total of 2,862 p.m- peak hour trips. The difference in the ITE trip estimate(2,862 trips)and the actual counts conducted in July 2003(1,055 trips) was then added to the study intersections to establish 20I0 baseline conditions(1,807 trips added) The distribution of p.m.peak hour trips associated with full use of the existing buildings on the Boeing Space Center site (1,807 trips)are summarized in Appendix D Figure 6 illustrates the projected future year 2010 p.m. peak hour baseline traffic , volumes without the PGBP-N development at the study intersections. i, I Tramportatton Eng3neeiin NorfiWesr 24 August 6,zoos l� i , T i Padfic Gateway Wdriez Park-IV Traffic Impact Study Future year 2010 p.m. peak hour traffic volumes with the PGBP-fV development were estimated by adding the net change in p-m. peak hour trips(figure 5)to the 2010 baseline traffic volumes (figure 6). Adjustments to the distribution of the PGBP PGBP-H project trips were made to reflect the current plan for PGBP-H which includes the assumption that the area north of S 208d'Street(approximately 30 percent of the area) may no longer have access to the intersection of 66th Avenue S/S 212d' St These trips that were shifted from 66u' Avenue S to 59's Place S.Figure 7 illustrates the year 2010 p-m.peak hour traffic volumes with the PGBP-N development. �f i t iI ; 't c I .r t: 1 r ,t 1 1 ` 25 August 6,2003 Tnmpwtation Engineering1'`ionhWest C-1 _ 1 62nd Ave S/S 196th St W Valley Hwy/S 19M PI W Valley Hwy/S 204th St W Valley Hwy/,2081h St o o 7 m 'w? a ~ 38 ? h 157 w '^ m 84 r O n w N O N n n N I F 746 0 0 0 16 F—0 y � !�`-45 �20 —51 � Y`"r95 7 1 305.� 7/ 459 1 333-� R • 413•—► 2—01 r 54—� 1 —0 1 j 199 umi N m 170-y 0! o 257 m n a 93 N ii n [ W Valley Hwy/S 212th SI 66th Ave S/S 212t1 St 64th Ave S/S 2121h St 59 h PI S1S 2121h St S 222 m 20 a a n n an N m O n v m M 65 S2 o 93 1 1, 262` 7 1,788 105 �15 � 1B5 17 y 142� � � � 40 109 7� 4, 955-1 1,609 1,148—� ( 1,448 —3• 618 ro 496� �o•�b 25 - W Valley Hwy/S 196th St Onll[a Rd/S 200th St M W Valley Hwy/rodd Blvd W Valley Hwy/S 190th St 59 1,502 m n m ~ 10 _422 m _ E pr—33.4 327 �" 19 !\ 180 � � t p 130� � � 111 -� 1 361 30m m m 1 11 —� r m v 243 n •wn v 0 m 1 9 ^' m 47 s W Valley Hwy/S 228th St W Valley Hwy`lJames St W Valley Hwy/Meeker St 42ndAve SIS 212th St 119 244 a o 109 179 m F'370 N F 502 4 1,546 i y 116 � 160 222 !�469 106 t 5-1 -.� t 1B1 1,327� •` ' 262 —� 388 —� 551 —I 389 I iii i 7 •'r N m b n o m M o m ro 94 70 N m 241 '� n n Note-See led on page 24 for discussan on how 2010 Baseline Tra1Gc w]iumes were es4matea W l.

' 1 Future operations at the two proposed unsignalized on-site intersections were analyzed and summarized in table 5 below. As shown in table 5, the stop- controlled westbound left-tum movements at both intersections are expected to ' operate at LOS F in 2010 with the PGBP-IV redevelopment.

The capacities of each of the arterials crossing the MMZ boundaries and in the vicinity of critical intersections and links were totaled to develop a MMZ arterial capacity. Similarly, the estimated traffic volumes crossing the boundaries and in the vicinity of critical intersections were totaled The ratio of volume to capacity was then developed and compared to the arterial threshold for the MMZ. Table 6 provides a summary of this assessment. As shown, each of the five MMZs analyzed are expected to operate better than the City's acceptable arterial threshold. Therefore, the PGBP-IV redevelopment meets the City's concurrency standards. Detailed concurrency calculations are included in Appendix E. I It should be noted that Boeing has contributed several million dollars towards multiple corridor projects to help work towards the goal of improved mobility throughout the City.

However,project trips are expected to decrease to between one and ten percent of the total entering traffic in 2010 at the study intersections outside a one-block radius of the PGBP-rV site Traffic volumes at two of the study intersections(66'h Avenue S/S 212" Street and 64"Avenue S/S 212d'Street)are expected to decrease with the development i of PGBP-TV. This is due to the difference in the distribution of existing trips and the future trips associated with the PGBP-rV site layout. The distribution of PGBP-IV trips assumes the extension of S 2040'Street and S 20e Street from West Valley Highway to 59`h Place S These new connections would provide ; additional access points to and from the PGBP-IV site which do not exist today. Queuing Analysis Per the request of the City, the adequacy of left-tum and right-turn queue storage was assessed at the 30 signalized study intersections- Per the City's request, the queue lengths were rounded to the nearest 25 feet. A summary of the anticipated 95th percentile queue lengths for left-turn and right-turn movements at the 30 ' i s signalized study intersections and the queue calculation worksheets are included in Appendix F. ' 7 As shown in Appendix F, there are 41 movements (at 20 of the 30 signalized study intersections) that are anticipated to exceed the available queue storage in 2010 without the PGBP-TV development and 42 movements (at 22 of the 30 signalized study intersections) that are anticipated to exceed the available queue ' storage in 2010 with the PGBP-rV development. A discussion of these movements and potential improvements is included in the "Improvements for Consideration"section on the following page As previously stated, the LOS results for the signalized intersections were calculated using the Synchro 5.0 software which is based on methodologies presented in the HCM,2000 Edition,and incorporates the effects of a coordinated ' system of intersections- However, for locations where left-turn and right-turn queues are expected to exceed the available storage,the LOS results do not reflect the additional delay associated with potential blockage of the adjacent through lane. A footnote has been included in the LOS tables shown in tins report to help understand which locations this is expected to occur The LOS results for the intersections that are expected to experience queue spillover should be used with 1 I caution- ti Please note,our analysis of queuing represents a condition that is only expected to be exceeded 5 percent of the time and does not represent the conditions Tnnspurtatim Engineer®a NorthWest 35 August 6,2003 tl -_ t j Pacific Gateway tiudrress Park4V Traffic Impact Study I throughout the entire peak hour. This condition is typically used in the design of ' I turn lanes and is considered standard practice. Per the request of the City of Kent,vehicle queues were also estimated at the two proposed unsignatized intersections on 59'h Place S at S 204' St and S 208" St based on Highway Capacity Manual methodology. A summary of the anticipated 95`h percentile queue lengths for left-turn and right-turn movements at the two ' unsignalized intersections is included in Appendix F. Since these are future proposed intersections, it is anticipated that the future channelization would be I designed to accommodate the anticipated queues. Signal Warrant Analysis Per the request of the City of Kent,a signal warrant analysis was completed at the t ' future intersection of 59ih Place S/S 204th Street and 59 h Place S/S 2080' Street. Signal warrants were based on guidelines included in the US Department of Transportation/Federal Highway Administration, Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices(MUTCD). Future traffic volumes used in the analysis were based on the estimated 2010 p.m peak hour volumes with PGBP-N shown in figure 7. The only traffic volumes , available applicable to signal warrants were the p m. peak hour traffic volumes therefore,the signal warrant analyzed included MUTCD Warrant 3 -Peak Hour. MUTCD Wan-ant 3—Peak Hour,is based on peak hour volumes on the major and minor streets. The estimated 2010 p.m. peak hour volumes on the major street of S 59'h Place is approximately 1,100 vehicles — total of both approaches. The minor street approach of S 2040 Street is estimated to include 613 p.m_peak hour , trips and the minor street approach of S 208'h Street is estimated to include 627 p.m_ peak hour trips. Based on MUTCD Figure 4C-3 — Warrant 3, Peak Hour, these volumes would satisfy this warrant. Signal warrant worksheets are included in Appendix G. ' Improvements for Consideration ' Per the City of Kent, signalized intersections expected to operate at LOS E or F (13 intersections),and left-or right-turn lanes with queues estimated to exceed the available storage(42 tutu lanes)in 2010 with the full redevelopment of PGBP-N were identified and are summarized in the following tables 8 and 9.

LOS Improvements Meeker StreetlWest Valley Highway(Intersection HIS) i The improvement for consideration of an eastbound right-turn lane to improve LOS at Meeker Street/West Valley Highway was determined to be not feasible due to right of way constraints. The redevelopment of PGBP-IV is expected to r account for less than 2 percent of the total entering volumes at the intersection in 2010 with PGBP-TV. Therefore, the effect of the PGBP-IV redevelopment is not expected to be significant. i S 2126 StreetlEast Valley Highway(Intersection 420) Constructing a second southbound left-turn lane at S 212a' Street/East Valley i Highway was determined to be not feasible due to right of way constraints.

Therefore,the i effect of the P(3BP-IV redevelopment is not expected to be significant Queue Improvements id t James Street/West Valley Highway(Intersection#14) I The improvements for consideration to provide additional queue storage at for the southbound left-turn lanes at James Strect/West Valley Highway was determined to be not feasible due to potential right of way constraints. The redevelopment of PGBP-IV is expected to increase the 95th percentile southbound left-turn queue by ' t 25 feet (approximately one vehicle) per lane compared to the queue under 2010 baseline conditions Therefore, the increase in queue length as a result of the PGBP-IV redevelopment is not expected to be significant. Meeker Street/N'est Valley Highway(Intersection HIS) t i The improvement to provide additional queue storage at Meeker Street west Valley Highway for the westbound left-turn was determined to be not feasible due to potential right of way constraints. The 951h percentile queue for the westbound left-tum is anticipated to increase by 25 feet as a result of the PGBP-IV redevelopment The project is not expected to add any tnps to the westbound left- turn movement. Therefore, the increase in queue length as a result of the PGBP- - IV redevelopment is not expected to be significant.

The listed improvements are recommended to be completed with the full redevelopment of PGPB-IV. In addition to the recommended improvements listed below, it is also I recommended that the queue storage at all approaches exiting the PGBP-IV site be designed to accommodate the anticipated 95'h percentile queues in 2010 with the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV. 62"d Avenue SIS 190 Street(Intersection 41) With the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV,it is anticipated the northbound left-turn movement would exceed the available storage at this intersection (400 feet per lane). With the full redevelopment of PGBP-IV, the estimated northbound left- turn queue is 525 feet per lane Therefore, the northbound dual left-turn lanes are j recommended to be extended to accommodate the anticipated 525 foot queue(per lane). 1 S 199`h Ploce/West Valley Highway(Intersection 42) This intersection is expected to operate at LOS B without the proposed project and LOS F with the proposed project in 2010. The recommend improvement at this location is the construction of an additional eastbound left-turn lane. In t addition, modifications to the signal phasing are recommended to include east/west split phasing. S 208`h Sireet/West Valley HtAhway(Intersection 44) 1 Thus intersection and is expected to operate at LOS C without the proposed project and LOS F with the proposed project in 2010 There are two potential improvements to be considered at this location It is recommended that one of the following be implemented i a) The construction of a southbound right-turn lane and modification of the eastbound approach to add an eastbound right-tum lane and convert the eastbound through lane to a shared left-thru lane. Also remove the crosswalk on the north leg, and modify the signal phasing to include east/west split phasing. jb) Provide an internal connection between S 2040' Street and S 208" Street on the PGBP-IV site, which would allow exiting vehicles destined northbound to exit at either S 204th Street or S 208`h Street.

The westbound stop controlled movements at l these intersections are expected to operate at LOS F. A peak hour signal warrant analysis was completed at these intersections and it was determined that both intersections would meet the peak hour warrant based on the estimated 2010 € traffic volumes. However,the satisfaction of a single signal warrant in itself does not necessitate the installation of a traffic signal Therefore,we recommend these intersections be monitored as redevelopment of the PGBP-IV site continues to i determine if/when a signal may be appropriate in the future Recommended System Improvements The following improvements are considered system improvements, not project i improvements specifically related to the full redevelopment of PGBP-TV. This conclusion is based on the fact that the increase in volumes at these locations is primarily due to the increase in background traffic- If the City or others plan to build the improvements listed, it would be appropriate for the project to pay its 1 i pro-rata share of the cost of the improvement I S 212`h Street/64'h Avenue S(#7) ' The northbound left-cum lane at this intersection is expected to exceed the available storage (200 feet) both with and without the project (475 feet with project) The project is expected to increase the queue at this location by 125 feet" ' Therefore, it is recommended that die project either extend the left-turn lane by 125 feet or contribute its pro-rata share (45 percent = 125'/275') toward the construction of the ultimate improvement at this location" S 19tih Street1west Valley Highway 09) This intersection is expected to operate at LOS E without the proposed project and LOS F with the proposed project in 2010.

BUDGET IMPACT: As itemized in attached Project Descriptions No Unbudgeted Fiscal/Personnel Impact BACKGROUND The 2005 TIP is$46,107,410 higher than last ear's TIP. The majority of that increase comes from the inclusion of the east leg of the 196 corridor which was identified as a need by the update to the transportation model and accounts for $35,000,000 of that increase. By 2010, increased population, economic activity and increased congestion all indicate that another corridor will need to be extended up the east hill so we will not have to curtail development because of Growth Management Laws and Concurrency regulations. 1 Counting only those projects which will be underway by the end of 2005 covers$101,943,070 and when you add the ongoing projects(another$3,610,000)to that amount you have about half of the total TIP. ' High-priority projects for 2005 include the Kent Station area projects: ■ Finishing the Kent Station Infrastructure ■ 4"'Avenue and Smith Street Intersection improvements ■ West Smith Street Improvements (including 2nd Ave/Ramsay Way intersection) ■ Pioneer Street Improvements ■ The South 228 h Street Corridor West Leg extension ■ Pac Highway HOV Lanes Mayor White and Kent City Council I CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON SIX-YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ' 2005 - 2010 40 ,,60�06 KEN T W A S H I N G T O N r N F p. •y a���ws _- � Y.M at Mayor Jim White 1 Don E.

Projects must be included in the TIP in order for cities to compete for transportation funding grants from most Federal and State sources. Federal grant funded and regionally significant projects from the first three years of the City's TIP are included in the Regional TIP,which is assembled by the Puget Sound Regional Council for King,Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish Counties. The regional TIPs(RTIP) from around the state are then combined to form the State TIP(STIP),which is approved by the Governor and then submitted to the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Authority for their review and approval. What is the Six Year Transportation Improvement Program TIP)? The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program(TIP)is a short-range planning document that is annually updated based on needs and policies identified through a variety of sources. It represents Kent's current complete list of needed projects for the next six years. The document also identifies secured or reasonably expected revenue sources for each of the projects included in the TIP. Typically, projects listed in the first three years of the document are shown as having secured funding while projects in the last three years may be only partially funded at this time. Development of the Six-Year TIP is an On-Going Process Within the Public Works Department, Transportation Planning works with engineers and engineering managers in Design, Construction, Transportation,Project Management, Accounting, and Maintenance and Operations to identify and prioritize transportation improvement projects. TIP project and financial development also involve interactions with many groups and agencies at the local,regional, state and federal levels such as those involving King County Metro Transit, Sound Transit, the Washington Transportation Plan, Destination 2030, and coordinating with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific Railroads. Within the City of Kent, there are actions and interactions involving other departments and divisions,the private sector, and the City Council and the Administration which influence the direction of the transportation program. Ili 1 1 1 For example, the transportation program is impacted by land use decisions and private development proposals such as the Kent Station development in the downtown urban center which will increase transportation demand by making possible higher density and a significant intensity of land uses. Such proposals need to be monitored and analyzed in regard to how they individually and collectively create the need for transportation improvements. Transportation Planning attempts to anticipate such increases in transportation system demand through periodic updates to the Kent Transportation Planning Model. By entering all known private and public development projects into the model as well as additions to the transportation system on a systematic basis, the model inputs can be modified to represent future conditions, making it possible to project future traffic volumes. This gives transportation planners and engineers the ability to determine the impact of different roadway or land use scenarios on the traffic network. This, in turn, helps decision makers evaluate the economic merits of competing potential capital improvements as far as 15 years into the future. Finally, with its heavy dependence on many different and unpredictable sources of outside funding and with the impacts created by on-going local, regional and state-wide decisions, transportation project development is a continuous activity comprised of land use development, environmental regulations, legislative politics, and financial constraints. Structure of the Program The 2005-2010 Six-Year Transportation Program is divided into three general sections. The first 1 section covers Projects 1-17. These are projects which are currently underway or expected to be underway by the end of 2005. The second section covers Projects 18-31. These are projects which are expected to begin in 1 2006 or later. The details of these projects will become more defined both in scope and financial partnership positions as the construction dates approach. The third section, Projects 32-35, are ongoing city-wide projects or programs in which the City is making continuous improvements and enhancements. 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 1 . .

SUBJECT: MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING RESOLUTION—ADOPT I2. SUMMARY STATEMENT: Adoption of Resolution No. requesting state legislative action to provide local funding for municipal transportation infrastructure. Funding sources to maintain City transportation infrastructure have continued to decline while the demand for transportation infrastructure operation, maintenance, and improvement has continued to grow. As the existing transportation infrastructure deteriorates, repair and replacement costs have become significantly more expensive. Unless the City obtains an additional funding source, the City's existing capital funding for transportation will disappear entirely by 2006 and no current source for those funds is predicted to become available. 3.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Councilmember moves, Councilmember seconds DISCUSSION: ACTION: Council Agenda Item No. 6D i I RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of Kent, Washington, urging 2005 State legislative action to address funding for municipal transportation infrastructure. RECITALS A. Kent and other Washington cities face the challenge of maintaining an aging transportation infrastructure of roads, streets, alleys, and arterials and their attendant bridges, culverts, sidewalks, storm drains, bike paths, street light and signalization systems. These cities must operate and maintain this infrastructure while attempting to address increasing and changing capacity and mobility needs for residents, businesses, and the daily work force, and without harming—and often i enhancing—wetlands, stream systems, and the natural environment. B. In Kent, this challenge is made more acute because Kent's Valley forms a significant part of the second largest warehousing distribution complex on the west coast. The Kent Valley is the workplace for 60,000+ persons each day. It is equidistant from the ports of Seattle and Tacoma and must deal with the daily pressure of accommodating and allowing traffic to move through the City's network of local streets and arterials for smooth and efficient access to major corridors such as State Route 167 (Valley Freeway), State Route 181 (West Valley Highway), SR 99 (Pacific Highway), and Interstate 5 through the City's network of local streets and arterials. 1 Transportation Infrastructure—2005 State Legislative Action Needed i i C. Meeting local funding requirements has become more difficult given a , series of revenue setbacks, including: 1. Repeal of the $15 motor vehicle fee due to Initiative 776, which costs Kent $800,000 per year in street overlay funds and matching grant funding sources. ' 2. Flat or declining gas tax receipts, because the legislature has not authorized any new gas tax distributions for cities since 1990. Additionally, the buying power of the existing gas tax has declined nearly forty (40) percent over the past decade. 3. The State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB), a major funding partner for local corridor capacity and mobility projects in Kent, also has not i received any new infusion of gas tax dollars since 1990. 4. The City's general fund revenue base is insufficient to support street overlay and maintenance programs, due to a sagging economy and declining local revenues. 5. The State Supreme Court has invalidated local transportation funding options used by some cities. This includes the street utility fee that Kent and ' more than a dozen other cities implemented, but which was invalidated in 1995. D. The cities' options to obtain transportation revenues are limited at this time, but the demand for transportation infrastructure operation, maintenance, and i improvement continues to grow. E. The last comprehensive action by the legislature to provide direct local funding and local options for transportation funding came in 1990. , F. In 1990, along with new direct funding, the legislature, recognizing the i need for local transportation funding, authorized four mechanisms: (1) local option fuel tax, (2) commercial parking tax, (3) street utility fee, and(4) vehicle license fee. 2 Transportation Infrastructure—2005 State Legislative Action Needed i G. Fourteen (14) years later, these sources either lack viability or have been invalidated through court decisions or initiatives or both. 1 H. As the condition of the transportation infrastructure deteriorates, repair and replacement costs become significantly more expensive, effectively doubling every 10 to 15 years. I. For example, in Kent, it costs about $1.4 million to overlay 2 million square feet of streets annually and maintain a road condition of 84.9 (out of 100 — considered very good) — but it would cost $17 million in 2013 to achieve that same 84.9 rating if no new funding becomes available. J. Absent funding for critical maintenance and overlay work, the condition of Kent's streets would decline from an 84.9 rating to a 42.95 rating, which is considered poor. K. The cost to the public extends beyond these direct costs in the form of impacts on the quality of life, on the quality of the environment, on the business investment climate, and on the ability of our citizens to travel without facing delays, detours,and congestion. L. Besides lacking the resources to maintain the existing transportation network, Kent is even more hard-pressed to make capital improvements in its transportation infrastructure, as evidenced by the fact that more than $100 million of the $178.27 million 6-Year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) does not have any funding in place, nor is there any source for those funds predicted to become available. 3 Transportation Infrastructure—2005 State Legislative Action Needed i M. Kent projects that existing capital funding for transportation will disappear entirely in 2006 unless it obtains additional funding sources. Moreover, nearly all other Washington cities face similar problems. NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, , WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: RESOLUTION SECTION I. —Direct Fun din The City of Kent calls upon the Governor and the legislature to provide new direct funding to pay for transportation infrastructure needs. SECTION Z — New Funding Options The City of Kent also calls on the Governor and legislature to provide new funding options and tools that may be enacted at the local level. SECTION 3. —Request Other Cities Join. The City of Kent encourages other Washington municipalities to join in this call by passing similar resolutions as a means of conveying the severity and urgency of the situation. SECTION 4. — Severabih . If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this resolution is declared unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this resolution. SECTION S. —Rati ication. Any act consistent with the authority and prior to ' the effective date of this resolution is hereby ratified and affirmed. 4 Transportation Infrastructure—100S State Legislative Action Needed SECTION 6. —.Effective Date. This resolution shall take effect and be in force immediately upon its passage. PASSED at a regular open public meeting by the City Council of the City of Kent, Washington, this day of August, 2004.

SUMMARY:As a result of recent Initiatives and Supreme Courts decisions cities including Kent have lost significant funding sources for city street and street related infrastructure improvements. This resolution asks the State legislature to address local street funding needs during the 2005 session. BUDGET IMPACT: No Unbudgeted Fiscal/Personnel Impact BACKGROUND: Because of the events listed below local funding for street improvements have become challenging at best and as a result if no additional revenue becomes available there will be no new street capital project starts after 2006. • Loss of the$15 motor vehicle fee due to the repeal of Initiative 776,which will cost Kent $800,000/year in overlay funds and matching grant funding sources • Flat and declining gas tax receipts,due to the fact that the Legislature has authorized no new gas tax distributions for cities since 1990.Additionally, buying power of the existing gas tax had declined nearly 40%over the past decade due to new incorporations,more fuel-efficient vehicles,etc. r • The fact that the state Transportation Improvement Board (TIB), a major funding partner for local corridor capacity and mobility projects in Kent, also has not received any new infusion of gas tax dollars since 1990 • City general fund challenges in participating in overlay and maintenance programs, due to a sagging economy and declining local revenues ' Mayor White and Kent City Council I • State Supreme Court decisions to invalidate local transportation funding options that had been employed by some cities—e.g.the street utility fee that Kent and more than a dozen other cities used was invalidated in 1995. Further the loss of street funding jeopardizes the City ability to even do normal street maintenance. As such the Public Works Department strongly recommends that council adopt this proposed resolution. Presently at the State Legislature both Chairs(Chair of the House and Chair of the Senate)of the Transportation Committees have expressed a willingness to help local governments to this end and with AWC (Association of Washington Cities) Seattle and King County lobbying for local street funding perhaps some favorable legislation will come out of the 2005 session. i 1 1 Mayor White and Kent City Council 2 1 Kent City Council Meeting Date August 17, 2004 Category Consent Calendar 1.

SUMMARY: Various properties that had recently developed or were in the process of developing at the time LID 351 was formed executed Environmental Mitigating Agreements (EMA) to participate in the funding of the new corridor project, but were not included in the LID. The Public Works Department seeks council concurrence regarding pursuing the inclusion of these omitted properties within LID 351 as allowed under State law. ' BUDGET IMPACT: No Unbudgeted Fiscal/Personnel Impact BACKGROUND: The S 272nd/277i1'Corridor was actively planned since the mid-80's with construction not being completed until 2000. During this time, a number of new developments occurred in the area. Under SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act) the city required that these new developments mitigate their traffic impact on the City's transportation system. As such they were offered the option of either doing a traffic study and then constructing in conjunction with their development the improvements identified therein or pay a pro rata share of the S272nd/277th Corridor via executing an EMA. Under the EMA their property would be included and assessed via an LID formed for the implementation of the Corridor project. Were no LID formed within 10 years from the date of execution of the EMA then their financial obligation therein would become due in full. Unfortunately when LID 351 was formed in December 1999 and finalized in May 2000, eleven properties with executed EMA's were missed. To add to the error many of those eleven ' were proposed plats meaning where once we were dealing with one owner and one parcel now were dealing with multiple parcels and owners. The total parcels now involved is 133 parcels and represents $346,725.30 ($1,628.23 per single family residence or $1,628.23 per PM peak hour trip for industrial/commercial properties) of outstanding assessments. Because of the magnitude of the dollar amount the Public Works Departments recommends that these omitted properties be included in LID 351. To do so State Law (RCW 35.44.360) allows same via Public Works Committee I LID for omitted LID 351 properties August 2,20N council action on a supplemental final assessment role. The process while not totally detailed out in the law is similar to the LID process. In essence like the LID process we're proposing a two step hearing process before council with the first step being on the action of whether or not to include these omitted properties in a supplemental final assessment role. If council action were to do so then a second hearing on the confirmation of the supplemental final assessment role would be held. Per both hearings only the omitted properties would be notified and heard. As part of the original LID formation process,a 180 day notice was given to the property owners to complete a traffic study. The studies were to be completed prior to the LID formation. This was a condition specified in the EMAs which gave the property owner an opportunity to receive an adjustment of the number of PM peak hour trips specified in the agreement for the property. The number was used in calculating the obligation specified in the EMA. Upon inclusion of these omitted properties they too would be given the same notice and 180 day period. Thus if council concurs with Public Works Department recommendation then the first public hearing would not be held until March 2005.

SUMMARY: The City is in the process of completing a multi year construction project for widening and installing HOV lanes on Pacific Highway form Kent Des Moines Road to S. 272nd Street. Sixteen properties have signed LID no protest covenants for the installation of street improvements on Pacific Highway. To satisfy this obligation, seven of these properties have requested that the City form an LID to allow their participation in the funding of the project. The estimated preliminary assessment for the 16 properties is $500,246.00. It is the Public Works Departments recommendation to proceed with implementing the LID. BUDGET IMPACT: No Unbudgeted Fiscal/Personnel Impact BACKGROUND: The Pacific Highway HOV Lane project has been in the planning and construction phase for a number of years. Various jurisdictions are involved each completing their portion of the route. The portion within the City of Kent is being constructed in phases and is not yet complete. Other portions are complete. ' Various funding sources including grants and City money have been approved for the project. In addition there are 16 properties that have signed no protest LID covenants for street frontage improvements for which those improvements are now part of the City's project. These 16 properties were required to execute a no protest LID in lieu of having to construct their street frontage improvements in conjunction with building their development. Since more recent developments along Pac Hwy have either constructed their frontage improvements or paid the City the equivalent dollar amount to include same into the City's project, the Public Works Department felt that it was only fair follow up on these obligations. As such the department has contacted these property owners with three options on how to proceed and meet their obligation. The choices included constructing the improvements themselves, paying the City to construct, or forming an LID to provide payment over 10 or 15 years. Seven (33.5% of assessment)of the properties requested that the City form an LID, 2 were undecided and the others did not respond. Public Works Committee I Proposed Pac Hwy LID August 2,2004 The proposed LID includes frontage improvements including curb and gutter, sidewalks, ! underground power, storm drainage and street lighting. It's the Public Works Department's recommendation to proceed with adoRtion of the resolution which sets the hearing date on the Intent to create this LID for October 5 . i 1 1 1 Public Works Committee 2 Proposed Pac Hwy LID August 2,2004 t RESOLUTION NO.

The amendment would allow advertising on a limited basis for signs associated with a stadium facility. BUDGET IMPACT: None BACKGROUND: The Kent School District submitted an application for a zoning code text amendment to amend the City's sign regulations for institutional signs. The request included changes to the definition of institutional signs to allow sponsorship or corporate advertising information on signs that are primarily associated with stadium facilities. Existing Kent City Code defines off-prermse signs as those signs with advertising copy unrelated to a use or activity conducted or offered on the site on which the sign is located. Off-premise signs currently are not permitted within the MR-M zoning district in which French Field is located. After conducting a public hearing on July 26, 2004, the Land Use and Planning Board ' recommended by a 4 to 0 vote, approval of a modified Option 3, adding definitions of institution and stadium, and adding a new section to the sign code regulating stadium signs, including allowing such signs to have advertising space up to 40% of the sign area. The SEPA Responsible Official has determined that the proposed code amendments are categorically exempt from SEPA review.

NOTICE OF UPCOMING MEETINGS None Steve Dowell excused himself from participating in the Kent School District Institutional Signs Regulations Amendment due to conflict of interest as an off-premise sign owner himself. ZCA-2004-4 KENT SCHOOL DISTRICT INSTITUTIONAL SIGNS REGULATIONS Planner Chris Hankins described this amendment as a request to amend the City's Sign Code dealing with institutional signs, specifically requesting that signs be allowed with a limited amount of commercial advertising information, if associated with a stadium facility. He stated that currently the sign code does not permit off-premise advertising to be included on institutional signs. Mr. Hankins stated that currently institutional signs are permitted to include only information which identifies the institution and provides announcements about the facility or upcoming events associated with the facility. Mr. Hankins stated that the amendment being proposed by the Kent School District relates to their need to upgrade or replace their existing sign and scoreboard at the French Field Stadium. Mr. Hankins stated that as proposed, advertising associated with that sign would not exceed a i total of 40 percent of the overall sign area, which the Kent School District indicates is needed in order to help fund replacement costs for the aging sign and scoreboard. Mr. Hankins stated that the amendment as proposed includes language which limits the applicability of advertising on institutional signs. He stated that the facility would have to be an outdoor stadium with permanent seating capacity of 2500 or more patrons and that the stadium would need to be owned and operated by an agency of the State of Washington with a publicly elected governing body. The primary purpose of the sign would be for stadium identification of the facility and public purpose information. Mr. Hankins described the options as: 1) No Change from the City's existing regulations, 2) Allowing sponsorship in corporate advertising on institutional signs under limited conditions as proposed by the school district, 3) Add a new section in the Sign Code that regulate signs for publicly or privately owned stadiums that are separate from the Institutional Sign Code Section. Mr. Hankins stated that staff recommends Option 3. He described current trends in advertising and where the City stands with respect to off-premise signs. Mr. Hankins mentioned staffs concerns about legal challenges when carving out exceptions in the Sign Code that would allow for off-premise advertising specifically for stadiums. He stated that staff recommends limiting the total amount of advertising sign space to 25 percent, and advertising area, if allowed, should not be equal to the area for the primary purpose of the sign, which is to identify the facility and provide announcements about the events that are held at the facility. Vice Chair Greg Worthing declared the Public Hearing open. Mr. Hankins addressed issues raised by the Board concerning the variables involved with determining what percentage of a sign could be used for advertising including how this would affect the aesthetic nature of the sign. Assistant City Attorney addressed questions raised by Elizabeth Watson concerning the regulating of signs. David Lutes, 13222 SE 249th, Kent, WA stated that the total replacement cost for the forty year old French Field score board would be $130,000 with no funding resources available through the school district for replacing the scoreboard. He stated that allowing outside businesses to utilize the board for advertising would offset the cost of replacing the score board. Fred High, 16912 SE 298th , Kent, WA stated that he is the Assistant Superintendent for Business at the Kent School District. He stated that the School needs 40% of the sign board's surface utilized for viable advertising and that the School Board would govern the content of the sign. He stated that the School District would welcome public input. He addressed questions raised by the Board as to how the School District would determine who could advertise and the content of the advertising allowed for the score board. David Hokit, Curran Mendoza P.S., 555 W. Smith St., Kent, WA stated that he supports Option 3 as it tends to support the Sign Ordinance. He stated that Option 2 could raise legal issues when a sign ordinance prohibits specific advertising by attaching regulations creating exceptions. Mr.Hokit cited legal cases. Mr. Hokit responded to Theresa Ferguson's concerns with how the school district intends to control the content of the signs. Mike Miller, 24502 145th SE, Kent, WA stated he is a member of the Board of the Valley 1 Medical Center;; they have considered advertising on the French Field Sign and he supports a 40% advertising surface. Seeing no further speakers, Vice Chair Greg Worthing declared the Public Hearing closed.

Kent,WA 98032-5895 JULY 19,2004 TO: CHAIR JON JOHNSON AND LAND USE&PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS jFROM: CHRIS HANKINS,PLANNER SUBJECT: ZONING CODE AMENDMENT 4ZCA-20044 KENT SCHOOL DISTRICT-INSTITUTIONAL SIGNS For Public Hearing of July 26,2004 SUMMARY: The Kent School District requests to amend Section 15 02.425 Kent City Code (KCC) defining institutional signs. The request includes changes to the definition of institutional signs to allow sponsorship or corporate advertising information on signs that are institutional in nature. The District is planning to upgrade the existing French Field signiscoreboard and desires to include advertising which provides funding for the new sign. The following is the code as existing and the proposed amended language: Existing 15.02.425 Sign,institutional. Institutional sign means a sign used only for the purpose of identifying an institution. Proposed 15.02.425 Sign,institutional. "Institutional sign means a sign used primarily for institutional identification but may also include public service messages. Publicly owned facilities accommodating assembly functions of 2,500 or greater occupants, and are physically separated from their parent facility, shall have signage primarily for institutional identification but may have public service messages and advertising space. Advertising space shall not exceed 40%of exposed sign display." The proposal by the District to allow sponsorship advertising on institutional signs includes language which substantially limits where such signs would be permitted. With the stated limitations, institutional signs with advertising would only be applicable to stadiums that are owned publicly and would eliminate most if not all facilities in the City of Kent other than the School District's French Field facility BACKGROUND: Existing Kent City Code defines institutional signs as those signs identifying only the institution located on the property. Institutions can be civic, religious, or other similar organizations. Section 15.02.430 KCC defines off-premise signs as those signs with advertising copy unrelated to a use or activity conducted or offered on the same site. Therefore,using both definitions and applicable MR-M I zoning district and off-premise sign code regulations, sponsorship information or corporate advertising is not currently permitted on institutional signs nor specifically on the French Field sign. Section 15.06.040 (K) KCC provides design standards for institutional signs. Design standards include a calculation for the overall allowed aggregate area of institutional signs (one square foot for each ten lineal foot of street frontage), and establish that such signs can be illuminated Allowed signage includes readerboard signs announcing information about the institution or on site activities so long as the overall size and other development standards in this section are met. Communities are seeing a trend of corporate sponsorship advertising being used by institutional facilities to fund specific projects or improvements for the benefit of the institution. Some communities sell the naming rights on certain public institutions such as stadiums,hospitals,universities,religious institutions, and community centers. Another community trend is to create provisions within the sign code for stadiums to provide sponsorship signs inside the venue Such signs are typically required to be designed to attract attention only from the patrons of the facility and are not viewed or intended to be viewed from outside the facility. These signs typically do not require pernuts from the community; however some code provisions may lunit the design and location of such signs, limit lighting, and limit product advertising associated with the sponsor. OPTIONS: Several options may be considered regarding the application for zoning code text amendment,among them the following: 1. No change from existing regulations Existing regulations do not allow off premise signs/corporate advertising on institutional signs (including stadiums). This option continues to support the intent of the sign code regarding limitations or no net gain of off-premmse signs. Code Amendment Details: No change 2. Allow sponsorship and corporate advertising on institutional signs under limited conditions as proposed by the Kent School District. This option amends the sign code generally as proposed by the District. If amended, institutional signs would be allowed up to 40% of the total identification sign to include advertising. Using the 40%allowance only for publicly-owned facilities which accommodate 2,500 or greater occupants would limit such signs at this time to French Field stadium and would not further the public interest in this matter. The general provisions for institutional signs such as size,lighting,and location would still apply. Code Amendment Details: New definitions would be added to the zoning code" 1) Institution: civic, religious, or other similar organization, including but not limited to athletic field, hospital, university, religious institution, and community center 2) Stadium• Outdoor facility with permanent seating capacity of not less than 2,500,owned and operated by an agency of the State of Washington, with a publicly-elected governing body. Amend Kent City Code Section 15.06.040(K) as follows: For churches, schools, hospitals, public facilities and institutional uses, one (1) double-faced freestanding or wall identification sign is permitted for each street frontage. The sign may have an aggregate area of one (1)square foot for each ten (10) lineal feet of street frontage. However, each use is guaranteed a minimum sign area of twelve (12) square feet per display face regardless of street frontage. The sign may be illuminated Freestanding symbols of sculpture used as Land Use&Planning Board Public Hearing July 26,2004 ZCA-20044 Kent School District Institutional Signs Page 2 of 3 identification may be permitted with the approval of the planning department. Wall signs, lettering or symbols may also be approved by the planning department Stadiums signs shall be used primarily for stadium identification and public purpose information, but may include sponsorship advertising not exceeding 40%of the sign area 3. Add a new section in the sign code that regulates signs for publicly or privately owned stadiums separate from the institutional sign code section. Under this option there would be a new code section defining stadiums and associated regulations for such signs. Regulations would establish separate size and height limitations for such signs differing from the institutional section of the code. This option would allow all stadiums to place sponsorship or advertising information on a limited basis on signs associated with the facility. Code Amendment Details: Add definitions for- Stadium• Large oval, round, or U-shaped open structure, as for football, baseball, track events, etc. surrounded by tiers of seats,for a minimum of 2,500 spectators Institution• Civic, religious, or other similar organization, including but not limited to, athletic field, hospital, university, religious institution, and community center. 1 Add code section to KCC 15.06.040 for- Stadium signs- One double-faced freestanding or wall identification sign is allowed for each street frontage. The sign may have an aggregate area of one square foot for each ten lineal feet of street frontage, up to a maximum sign area of 200 square feet per face However, each stadium is guaranteed a minimum sign area of twelve square feet per display face regardless of street frontage The sign may be illuminated. The sign may include advertising up to 25%of the total sign area. The maximum height of a freestanding sign shall be 20 feet RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Option 3, with a 25% lunit on advertising space. This option recognizes that stadiums are a separate land use which warrants individual consideration different from institutional facilities Staff recommends the sign area needs of stadiums be considered separately from institutional land uses such as hospitals, universities,religious institutions, and community centers. Stadiums generally are large regional facilities that provide public recreational benefits. Sponsorship and corporate advertising interest is becoming part of the culture for stadiums and will likely continue to evolve. Option 3 appears to further the purpose of the sign code by establishing regulations for stadium signs promoting the public health, safety and general welfare. By establishing specific requirements for stadium signs, considerations of traffic safety can be met as well as the economic and aesthetic welfare of the City. Staff will be available at the July 26,2004 public hearing to present this proposal and answer questions The SEPA Responsible Official has determined that no further SEPA actions are required as the proposed code amendments are categorically exempt from SEPA review.

Which ordinance or regulation are you requesting to be amended or added? Sign Regulation Chapter 15.06.040K provides signage display standards for public facilities and institutional uses. This ordinance provides no restriction on sign content. It is only under Chapter 15.02.425 Sign, Institutional(defini- lion) that the sign is restricted to identification only. It is this restriction that the Kent School District would like to amend. 2. What do you want to change about the Comprehensive Plan and why? The Sign Regulation, as established, is very specific that signage be for iden- tification only. However, a strict interpretation of this requirement would pre- clude the School District from commercial sponsorship of readership signs. The Kent School District is presently attempting to replace an aging sports readerboard and scoreboard at French Field Stadium, an area landmark. The District would like to have a readerboard display, along with an element of corporate advertising to reflect their financial support of our sports pro- grams. Under the present institutional sign designation, however, all this is prohibited. The District would like to allow space for sponsors on the face of the sign. Other school districts with sponsors identified on readerboards in- clude Bethel (Spanaway,WA), Elma(Elms, WA) and Yakima(Yakima,WA). 3. What language revisions to the code text are you requesting? The Kent School District would Like Chapter 15.02.425 Sign, Institutional (definition) to read: 'Institutional sign means a sign used primarily for institutional identification Facilities and but may also Include public service messages. Publicly owned facilities Construction accommodating assembly functions of 2,500 or greater occupants,and are �2033 SE 256th Street physically separated from their parent facility, shall have signage primarily Building g for institutional identification but may have public service messages and Kent Washington advertising space. Advertising space shall not exceed 25%of exposed 98030.6643 dis la Ph:253-373-7526 sign display.' Fax:253-373.7410 Request for Code Text Amendment Sign Regulation Application to Institutional Users June 10,2004 Page 2 4. What are the effects or impacts related to the proposed amendment? a. We believe the proposed amendment codifies into regulation a practice which is now considered acceptable for inclusion (readerboard). The re- quest for advertising—tied to identification signage—is a recognition that large high-volume sporting and conference/convention facilities (tied to non-profit institutional entities) rely on corporate sponsorship to support specialty facilities and programs not otherwise funded. b. The District feels the readerboard function is a valuable way to communi- cate messages and schedule information to the community. it is our visi- ble connection to the community. Unfortunately, advertising is what pro- vides"free" radio and television programming and what keeps the price of newspapers affordable. At French Field, this is the only cost-effective way to acquire a new sports readerboard and scoreboard. After two years of budget cuts, including the reduction of 60+ positions, it is not ' likely that tax monies can be diverted to finance this project. Without sponsorship,the French Field sign project would likely be abandoned. c. The intent of this proposed amendment is to provide the School District flexibility to handle facility identification according to it's needs. As we are proposing to codify an already acceptable readerboard practice,the community would notice no change in policy. The use of advertising is a proposal that can be applied to limited but large venues where the public has come to expect advertising to be displayed. There will likely be little notice here as well. d. This amendment focuses on an institutional restriction that is not present in, and therefore not comparable with, other commercial codes. As such, there should be no revision crossing-over to dilute other commercial codes. One could also view this amendment as seeking(in a small way) institutional parity with standards applied to commercial signage. e. The impact of this proposed amendment will be: 1. The public is better served having an approved public service mes- sage board within institutional Identification signage. Advertising, while not desirable, is a fact of life. This proposal would place limits on advertising to only large public venues where it would not be out of place. The proposal would also limit the signage's size and location. 2. This proposed change reflects the City goals of supporting public enti- ties to provide community amenities. This process does not retreat from restrictive signage standards. 3. Changes to the institutional signage regulation will have no impact (positive or negative) on development interests. 4. Neighborhoods are generally supportive of the "community schoor message boards. But there may be an aversion to introducing adver- tising anywhere on school property (this issue has already been breeched with sole-source Pepsi vending machine contracts). Request for Code Text Amendment Sign Regulation Application to Institutional Users June10,2004 Page 3 4. What are the effects or Impacts related to the proposed amendment? e. The impact of this proposed amendment will be: 5. This proposal should have no affect(either positive or negative)on environmentally sensitive areas. In closing, I would like to reiterate our general support for the signage code that fo- cuses on institutional campus identification. It is paramount to the District we pro- vide signage that identifies French Field,for example, as the regional school sports venue it is. We realize this means providing signage that is respectful of the area ' and the neighbors. But to make the French Feld condition workable, we also need to realize Kent School District's interest is in partnering with local sponsors to bring financial support to District programs at French Feld. To this end, we need to look at solutions which provide a balanced approach to signage. If you have any questions about this proposed amendment, please call. I can be reached at(253)373-7144.

Kent,WA.98032-5895 i July 12,2004 _ TO: Land Use and Planning Board � i FROM: Tom Brubaker,City Attorney 17 CC: Fred Satterstrom,Community Development Director Charlene Anderson, Planning Manager RE: Kent School District—Proposed Amendment to Kent City Code Regarding Signs At your workshop,on July 12,2004,you will be presented information regarding the Kent School District's (the "District') proposed amendment to the Kent City Code regarding signs. The District has explained that it needs to replace the current French Field sign and has proposed i that the sign include advertisements that face the public right-of-way. The Kent City Code (KCC) currently does not allow these advertisements because, under KCC section 15.06.040(R), no new off-premises signs are allowed above the number of off-premises signs that were in place li on the effective date of the ordinance,which was March 5,2000. There are legal issues that my office is researching regarding this proposed amendment. Whenever a municipality regulates signs, there are first amendment free speech rights to consider. The first amendment applies to all speech, even commercial speech (like advertising signs). Sign codes like Kent's that ban all additional off-premises advertising have been upheld by the Courts. These bans have been found to directly and materially advance substantial governmental interests in aesthetics, and traffic and pedestrian safety. Because they don't regulate the content of speech (i.e., religious, commercial, political, educational, etc.), but are applied neutrally and equally to all additional off-premises signs,the courts have determined that ithis type of regulation does not offend the Constitution. It is when Cities begin carving out exceptions that legal issues arise. You may have heard the news about the City of Redmond's"bagel"sign case in which a portion of its sign code was overturned. Redmond had banned some but not all commercial sandwich board signs. The Court found that banning some signs based on their content (bagel store v. real estate signs and noncommercial signs) did not materially and directly advance the City's goals. The court found that the exempted signs and the prohibited signs presented the same problems. This recent case raises concerns for our office. There is a case from a Texas court, however, that upheld an exception for stadium signs. Based on the Texas case, we may be able to allow commercial advertising on this stadium sign, if the board desires to do this. However, the Redmond case, which is the controlling case in our jurisdiction, may indicate otherwise. In short, if this board Land Use and Planning Board July 12,2004 Page: 2 and the City Council decide to allow off premises advertising on stadium signs,the City may be assuming some legal risk in doing so. We continue to research this matter with the hope that we can more definitely assess the City's risk. Our office will coordinate the results of our research with the efforts of the Planning Services Office. rrcc.mro.Exwy�rkrm�wusraM..moax - - - - - - • - - - - •-- - t July 19,2004 KENT SCHOOL o: City of Kent Land U$r,and Planning Commission DISTRICT ' rom:Fred . igh,Ke&School District Assistant Superintendent—Business Subject:French Field Sign/Scoreboard Replacement ' ack cund on French Field Sign: - The existing scoreboard/sign is 30-40 years old and is deteriorating rapidly. ' - Repair costs would be excessive and the board would still be outmoded. ' - A modem replacement sign would cost$130,000 and would feature an electronic message board. ' - Having made approximately$7.0 million in budget cuts over the past two years including 65 teaching and support positions, funding either repairs or replacement to a scoreboard/sign with tax dollars is not the right thing to do. - A local institution,knowing the district's predicament,has offered to fund much of the replacement sign's cost over several years in exchange for limited ' advertising. The remaining advertising space would be publicly offered on a request for proposal(RFP)process. All advertising would be approved by the publicly-elected board of directors,based on a predetermined set of criteria. ' - Kent School District has a comprehensive commercial activities policy and procedure which restricts most commercial advertising at all of our facilities with the exception of the French Field Sign. This policy was adopted after two years ' of work by a committee comprised of parents, student government affairs and administrators. ' Sign Issues: ' - Size:The district's original proposal was for a sign approximately 25' X 11' (mock-up attached). A major reason for a sign of this size was to cover the backside of the scoreboard. This sign would have been larger than the current sign. A variance request was submitted to the City in January and was denied on Purchasing June 23rd. The district is willing to live with a sign not to exceed the size of the Department current size(City staff has told us that we can have non-message borders to cover ' 12033 SE 256th Street up the backside of the scoreboard). A side issue of size is percentage of Suite shing sponsorship/advertising s ace. If the district had been granted the larger sign, Kent Washington P 1� g », 98030.6643 ' Ph:253.373.7234 Fax.253-373.7572 limiting advertising to 25%could be accomplished. With the smaller sign, the KENT percentage needs to increase to a minimum of 40%to allow enough space to ' SCHOOL generate the revenues necessary to pay for the sign. The district's request for this DISTRICT percentage change was made only recently,because the size variance request was denied on June 23'a and discussions with the city concerning alternatives weren't ' completed until the week of July 50i. - Commercial Advertising: As previously mentioned, the district is interested in ' commercial advertising only on the French Field sign/scoreboard and then only for the purpose of funding it. Consistent with this goal,the district has submitted the following restrictive language: , 1. Located at an outdoor stadium with permanent seating capacity of not less than 2,500. ' 2. Stadium must be owned and operated by an agency of the state of Washington, with a publicly elected governing body. 3. Primary purpose of the sign shall be for outdoor stadium identification and ' public purpose information, such that sponsorship advertising may not exceed 40%of the sign. Summary: The district plans to attend the public hearing on July 26°i and to present the above information. The district's values and concerns about commercial ' advertising are similar to those of the city. We are also cognizant and respectful of the need to minimize risk. We hope that the city will find a way to help us replace a prominent eyesore in our community without tapping tax dollars. If it is appropriate ' for us to answer additional questions,please contact me at the district. Regardless of the outcome of this issue,we do appreciate your efforts in making Kent a great place to live.

This amendment would permit the District to replace the aging French Field Stadium reader board and scoreboard with a new state-of-the-art sign. The District has secured support from community members whose financial contribution is conditioned on the ability to advertise on the sign. Without these contributions,the District will likely be unable to replace the sign in the near future. You have expressed concern about the issue of whether amending the zoning code to allow a sign at a public stadium would render the City's sign ordinance vulnerable to legal challenges from others desiring to erect billboards or other off-premises advertising. That concern arises chiefly from a recent federal trial court decision,Ballen v. City of Redmond, Cause No. CO3-2580P (W.D.Wash.June 15,2004). After careful analysis of Ballen, we do not believe that the school district's proposed amendment would place the City's sign ordinance in jeopardy. 1 The sign ordinance challenged in Ballen does not resemble the amendment proposed by the Kent School District. The Ballen ordinance contained exceptions much broader and more extensive than the one proposed in this matter. In Ballen,the city's sign ordinance prohibited all sandwich board signs,but many types of sandwich board and other signs were allowed through exceptions to the prohibition. The exceptions were so extensive that they effectively nullified the prohibition. They included real estate signs,special event commercial signs,construction signs, celebration displays, various banners in the city center neighborhood,political signs,major land use action notices, temporary window signs,and signs on kiosks. The ordinance also permitted ' Therem M.Ahern Chnsiopherj.Dodd _-_, Brie A.McCanhy Dunn M.7onman n M.John Casey Gres W.Haffver Fred"Mendota Of Counsel: Gngory F.Cirwmvea David T.Hohit face C.Rhodes C.peter Guam Mark W.Davis Chad Horner Shama L Thompson Melvin L Khvano,Jr. Kim Adams Pratt July 19, 2004 Page 2 signs on schools, churches and community buildings that showed temporary uses of those facilities. The goals behind this ordinance were ostensibly to improve the city's appearance and to reduce hazards to drivers and pedestrians. ' The court declared the ordinance unconstitutional. The analysis centered on the degree to which the many exceptions had eroded the stated goals of the ordinance. The many exceptions flew in the face of the goal of improving the city's appearance and safety of drivers and pedestrians. The court stated that a regulation may not provide only"ineffective or remote support for the government's purpose." Id. at 8. The Redmond case was an example of an ordinance that had been too"pierced by exception and inconsistencies"to serve its purpose. Several cases cited by Ballen also described regulatory schemes that had grown irrational with exceptions that undermined and counteracted the government's stated purpose. See, e.g., Rubin v. Coors , Brewing Co., 115 S.Ct. 1585 (1994)(prohibitions on the disclosure of alcohol content on beer labels and beer advertising were unconstitutional when the rule did not apply to beer sold in a majority of the states,to wines and spirits,or to"malt liquor"); Greater New Orleans Broadcasting Assn, Inc. v. U.S., 119 S.Ct. 1923 (1999)(a federal law prohibiting advertising for gambling was unconstitutional when it did not apply to state-run lotteries,government-operated or nonprofit casinos,"occasional"commercial casinos,or to Native American-run casinos). As the Ballen court acknowledged,Metromedia, Inc. v. City of San Diego, 101 S.Ct.2882 (1981),remains good law,and one of the principle decisions in this area by the U.S. Supreme Court. In that case,the Supreme Court held that the City of San Diego's sign ordinance was constitutional even though it prohibited only off-site billboards,not on-site billboards,and contained twelve categories of exceptions that permitted certain off-site billboards. The Metromedia court accepted the city's conclusion that this sign ordinance furthered the goals of aesthetic improvement and eliminating hazards to pedestrians and motorists even though the ordinance allowed several categories of signs. We have sent you a copy ofParadigm Media Group,Inc. v. City oflrving, 2002 WL 1776922 (N.D. Tex.200)(unreported), which is factually nearly identical to the Kent situation. Like Kent, the City of Irving's sign ordinance prohibited off-premises advertising,but it had an , exception for signs at publicly owned stadiums. In that case,a business owner applied for permits to construct billboards with off-premises advertising,which were denied. The business owner sued, claiming that exceptions to the city's sign ordinance had undermined the goal of the ordinance. Among the principle exceptions raised by the business owner was the stadium sign exception. The court was unimpressed, citing Metromedia and noting that the Supreme Court had rejected this"under-inclusive" argument. The Paradigm court stated that a city may choose ' to promote legitimate objectives by regulating some forms of advertising more stringently than others. We believe this is exactly what the City of Kent would be doing in allowing a stadium sign exception. It would be recognizing the legitimate objective served by a stadium sign that would contain public information,together with limited advertising. We recognize that a city sign ordinance that contains so many exceptions that the exceptions undermine the original goal of the ordinance will likely fail a constitutional challenge. The discrete and narrowly-drawn amendment proposed by the school district,however,will not affect k , Kim Adams Pratt July 19,2004 Page 3 ' such drastic erosion of the goal behind the city's sign ordinance. We appreciate the City's consideration of this amendment, and request that you share this letter with staff and the members of the Land Use and Planning Board. Very truly yours, CURRAN MENDOZA P.S.

History The p roperty i s p art o f 3372 a cres a nnexed t o the C ity of K ent o n J anuary 1, 1996 under Ordinance No. 3241. II. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS A. Environmental Assessment i A Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (ENV-2003-14) for the rezone proposal as well as a project-specific proposal for a 10 lot subdivision was issued on April 15, 2004. No conditions were proposed for the rezone portion of the SEPA application. The proposed project rezone contemplates a 10-lot subdivision. The applicant's SEPA application requested both a non-project analysis (rezone) and project- specific (subdivision) analysis. On-site environmental impacts associated with the proposed project specific development have been analyzed and conditioned in the above referenced determination. The project specific proposal is dependent upon the outcome of the rezone application. B. Significant Physical Features Topography. Wetlands and Vegetation , According to an approved wetland assessment prepared by B-Twelve Associates dated January 13, 2003, there is a Category 3 wetland on the site. Category 3 wetlands require a minimum 25-foot no build buffer and a 15-foot building setback from the buffer edge. The site is described as rolling with the steepest slope being 11 percent. The vegetation on site consists of pasture, shrubs, grass, and wet sod plants. Page 2 of 9 ' Staff Report Howard's Addition Rezone ' #RZ-2003-2 KIVA#2031319 C. Significant Social Features 1. Street System 1 The site is located along 108th Avenue SE, one-quarter mile south of the South 2 77th Street Corridor. U pon f uture development of the property, road and street frontage improvements to meet City of Kent roadway standards will be required as conditions of approval. These improvements include but are not limited to curb, gutter, sidewalks, planting strips, street lighting, paving, necessary street improvements, and public stormwater conveyance. The p roposed r ezone a ppears t o h ave n o t mpact o n t he t ransportation system at this time. However, upon development of the subject property, this proposed rezone could potentially result in the creation of nine more PM Peak Hour Trips upon the City's street system than would be generated under the existing zoning designation based on the maximum densities allowed. 2. Water System Water service is provided by the City of Kent and is currently available. System improvements will be necessary to accommodate any subsequent development. 3. Sanitary Sewer System Sanitary s ewer s ervice i s p rovided b y t he C ity of K ent a nd i s c urrently available.

A Notice of Application was posted on the site and published in the King County Journal on January 2, 2004. Comments have been incorporated in the staff report where applicable. IV. PLANNING SERVICES REVIEW A. Comprehensive Plan In 1995, the Kent City Council adopted the Kent Comprehensive Plan, which represented a complete revision to the City's 1977 comprehensive plan. The 1995 plan was prepared under the provisions of the Washington State Growth Management Act. The Comprehensive Plan, through its goals and policies, presents a clear expression of the City's vision of growth for citizens, the development community, a nd other public a gencies. T he p Ian is u sed by the Mayor, City Council, Land Use and Planning Board, Hearing Examiner, and City departments to guide decisions on amendments to the City's zoning code and other development regulations, which must be consistent with the plan, and also guide decisions regarding the funding and location of capital improvement projects. LAND USE ELEMENT The Land Use Element of the plan contains a Land Use Plan Map, which designates the type and intensity of land uses throughout the city, as well as in the entire potential annexation area. The Land Use Plan Map designates the subject property as SF-3, Single Family Residential which allows three units per acre. The land use element also contains goals and policies relating to the location, density, and design of future development in the City and in the Potential Annexation Area. Page 4of9 Staff Report Howard's Addition Rezone #RZ-2003-2 KIVA#2031319 Overall Goal: Encourage a future growth and development pattern which I implements the community's vision, protects environmentally sensitive areas, and enhances the quality of life of all of Kent's residents. 1 Goal LU-8: The City of Kent adopts a 20-year housing target of 7,500 new dwelling units within the existing city limits. Coordinate with King County through an interlocal agreement on housing targets in the unincorporated area within Kent's Potential Annexation Area. Policy LU-8.1: Provide in the land use plan adequate land and densities to accommodate both city and county housing targets within the Potential Annexation Area. Average net residential densities throughout the Potential Annexation A rea s hould b e a t I east four u nits p er a cre i n o rder t o a dequately support urban services. Policy LU-8.3: Locate housing opportunities within close proximity to employment, shopping, transit and human and community services. Goal LU-9- Provide opportunities for a variety of housing types, options, and densities throughout the city and the Potential Annexation Area. ' Policy LU-9.4: Allow single f amdy housing on a variety of lot s izes, including 5,000 square foot lots. Locate smaller lot sizes within close proximity to the urban activity centers. Planning Services Comment: The goals and policies of the land use element support the proposed rezone. The proposed location is easily served by existing urban services and is in convenient proximity to urban services along 104"' Avenue SE and Kent Kangley Road. Also, the proposed rezone is consistent with the Land Use Plan Map which allows up to three dwelling units per acre. Growth Management Hearings Board decisions have determined that lands within Urban Growth Areas should a divided at a minimum of four dwelling units per net acre to ensure efficient provision of urban services. The zoning district I SR-3 allows 3.63 dwelling units per acre and a minimum lot size of 9,600 square feet. The net density calculations will be evaluated with the analysis of an application for subdivision. HOUSING ELEMENT The primary goal of the housing element is to meet the current and future need for housing in the Kent area. Overall Goal: Ensure opportunities for affordable housing and an appropriate living environment for Kent citizens. 1 Page 5 of 9 Staff Report ' Howard's Addition Rezone #RZ-2003-2 KIVA#2031319 Goal H-1: Promote healthy neighborhoods by providing a wide range of housing options throughout the community that are accessible to community and human services, employment opportunities, and transportation and by being sensitive to the environmental impacts of development. Policy H-1.1: Ensure that community and human services, including, but not limited to, fire, police, library facilities, medical services, neighborhood shopping, child care, food banks, and recycling facilities are easily accessible to neighborhood residents. ' Planning Services Comment The proposed rezone is supported by relevant goals and policies of the housing element. A ppropriate services, including, but not limited to, fire, police, public schools, medical services, neighborhood shopping and child care are easily accessible to neighborhood residents upon development of the subject property. NATURAL RESOURCES GOALS AND POLICIES: Goal LU-20: Protect and enhance environmentally sensitive areas via the adoption of the City regulations and programs which encourage well-designed land use patterns such as clustering and planned unit development. Use such land use patterns to concentrate higher urban land use densities and intensity of uses in specified areas in order to preserve natural features such as large wetlands, streams, steep slopes, and forests Goal LU-22: Ensure that the City's environmental policies and regulations comply with state and federal environmental protection regulations regarding air and water quality, noise and wildlife and fisheries resources and habitat protection. Demonstrate support for environmental quality in land use plans, development regulations, and site plan review to ensure that local land use management is consistent with the City's overall natural resource goals. Planning Services Comment: The proposed rezone is supported by relevant goals and policies contained within the Natural Resources Section of the Comprehensive Plan. The site contains a .25 acre Category 3 wetland. Category 3 wetlands require a minimum 25-foot no build buffer and a 15-foot building setback from the buffer edge. Any subsequent development on the property will be subject to the wetland area requirements outlined in Chapters 11.05 of the Kent City Code. Future development of the site will include wetland buffer areas which preserve the natural features of the site. Wetland buffers also limit the overall density of the ' site.

' B. Standards and Criteria for Granting a Request for Rezone The following standards and criteria (Kent Zoning Code, Section 15 09.050) are used by the Hearing Examiner and City Council to evaluate a request for a rezone. Such an amendment shall only be granted if the City Council determines that the request is consistent with these standards and criteria. 1. The proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Planning Services Comment The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the subject property as SF3, Single Family Residential, which allows up to three units per acre. A rezone of ' the site from SR-2 Single Family Residential to SR-3 Single Family Residential will allow residential development of 3.63 dwelling units per acre. As previously mentioned, the proposed rezone is also consistent with the applicable goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. However, because of Growth Management Hearings Board decisions establishing a net density of four dwelling units per acre, additional evaluation of consistency with the Growth Management Act will occur with review of the application for subdivision. 2. The proposed rezone and subsequent development of the site would be compatible with development in the vicinity. Planning Services Comment Land uses in the vicinity of the site are predominantly single family residential. Although development in the immediate vicinity is predominantly single family IPage 7 of 9 Staff Report Howard's Addition Rezone #RZ-2003-2 KIVA#2031319 residences on large lots, the majority of these lots have future development potential, and many of these lots do not have the development constraints of on- site wetlands as does the subject property. 3. The proposed rezone will not unduly burden the transportation system in the vicinity of the property with significant adverse impacts which cannot be mitigated. Planning Services Comment A rezone of this property to SR-3 Single Family Residential will not generate additional trips onto the existing transportation system. However, subsequent development of a proposed 10-lot subdivision will add nine PM peak hour trips to the local street system. Upon development of the site, road and street frontage improvements to meet the City of Kent roadway standards will be required as conditions of approval. These improvements include but are not limited to curb, gutter, sidewalks, planting strips, street lighting, paving, necessary street improvements, and public stormwater conveyance The applicant will be required to participate in other City transportation improvement projects by providing an environmental mitigation fee for the impacts created by development. ' 4. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the current zoning district to warrant the proposed rezone. Planning Services Comment The subject parcel was annexed to the City of Kent on January 1, 1996 and is developed with a single-family residence on the west side of the parcel In 1995 the City of Kent adopted its Comprehensive Plan which designated this I area as SF-3 Single Family Residential. Along with the Land Use Plan Map and Policies, the plan also contains a target for the number of new households the City must accommodate for the 20-year time horizon of the plan. The GMA also ' states the City's development regulations must implement, and be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Higher density single family development with smaller lot sizes while recognizing significant environmental features is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. This area is currently characterized by low density residential development. Prior to Kent annexing this area, King County had zoned the area Urban Reserve, one dwelling unit per five acres. However, at the time the area was annexed, King County the was in the process of recommending lifting all Urban Reserve zoning because it was considered inconsistent with the King County Comprehensive Plan recommended capital improvement strategy for phasing growth. The new density King County recommended for this area was R-4-P, four dwelling units ' per acre. The County's reason for this proposed increase in density was the fact that lands within the Urban Growth Area were required by the County Wide Page 8 of 9 , tStaff Report Howard's Addition Rezone #RZ-2003-2 KIVA#2031319 Planning Policies to be characterized by urban development, surrounding parcels in the Urban Reserve zoned areas were zoned R-4-P and R-6-P, and urban services were available to, or planned for, the Urban Reserve parcels. Therefore, upon annexation, the City of Kent zoning for this area was set at R1- 20, single family residential two dwelling units per acre with a comprehensive plan designation of SF3, three units per acre. This zoning represents a midpoint between the original King County zoning and King County's recommended zoning change to four units per acre. 1 Since the time of annexation significant improvements to roadway infrastructure in the immediate area have been completed, specifically the South 272nd/2771" Street corridor located north of the site. This corridor connects the East Hill area of Kent to the valley floor and provides direct freeway access for residents coming off the Kent East Hill. An on ramp and off ramp to this new corridor are provided for at 10e Avenue Southeast, lust one-quarter mile to the north of the subject property. 5. The proposed rezone will not adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Kent. Planning Services Comment The proposed rezone is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Subsequent development on the site will have to meet applicable codes and regulations, including mitigation of anticipated environmental impacts. Therefore, the rezone proposal will not adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Kent. V. CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION Upon review of the merits of this request and the Code criteria for granting a rezone, the City staff recommends APPROVAL without conditions of the Howard's Addition rezone. !

GENERAL INFORMATION The applicant proposes to rezone 4.43 acres from the current zoning of SR-2 single family residential to SR-3, single family residential. The property is located at 27830 106th Avenue SE and is identified by King County Tax Parcel number 3222059094 II. HEARING EXAMINER RECOMMENDATION On June 4, 2004, the Hearing Examiner remanded the application for rezone to the Planning Services office for further analysis in accordance with his Conclusion No. 1. The Hearing Examiner concluded he needed additional evidence in order to determine if the proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Specific concerns related to a Comprehensive Plan land use designation of SF-3 providing for a maximum 1 of three dwelling units per acre, and a zoning designation of SR-3 providing for 3.63 dwelling units per acre. The Hearing Examiner also desired citations for the Growth Management Hearings Board decisions regarding urban density of four dwelling units per acre. III. STAFF COMMENT A. Consistency with Kent Comprehensive Plan When the GMA Kent Comprehensive Plan was adopted in April of 1995, the ' zoning distracts were defined by minimum lot sizes rather than allowable density Property with a land use designation of SF-2 was consistent with an R1-20 (20,000 square foot minimum lot size) zoning designation; property with a land use designation of SF-3 was consistent with an R1-12 (12,000 square foot minimum lot size) zoning designation. In December, 1995 via Ordinance No. 3268, the City Council adopted revised minimum lot sizes in single family residential districts in recognition of Kent Comprehensive Plan goals and policies recommending a revised calculation Staff Report-Addendum ' Howard's Addition Rezone #RZ-2003-2 KIVA#2031319 system for determining maximum allowable single family density. In general the minimum lot sizes recognized that roads and detention areas restricted the ability of applicants to achieve the density allowed by the zoning district. The new provisions for the R1-20 district provided for a minimum lot size of 16,000 square feet; the R1-12 district provided for a minimum lot size of 9,600 square feet. The provisions of Ordinance No. 3268 were further clarified in Ordinance No. 3290 that was passed in April, 1996. Ordinance No. 3290 redefined zoning districts such that R1-20 became SR-2 (2 single family dwelling units per acre) and R1-12 became SR-3 (3 single family dwelling units per acre). Further clarification of the Council's intent was provided with passage of Ordinance No. 3327 in December, 1996. Ordinance No. 3327 recognized the "unintended effect" of "rounding off maximum permitted density for each of the single family residential zoning districts. The Council amended the maximum permitted densities for all single family residential zones to coincide with density factors that existed prior to adoption of Ordinance No. 3268, based on mathematically precise calculations. Thus, SR-2 allows 2.18 single family dwelling units per acre, and SR-3 allows 3.63 single family dwelling units per acre. Because of the history of the connection of land use and zoning designations, specifically within the referenced SR-2 and SR-3 districts, staff is able to conclude that the SR-3 zoning district is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan land use designation of SF-3. B. Urban Density The following two paragraphs are excerpts from the original staff report: Policy LU-8 1: Provide in the land use plan adequate land and densities to accommodate both city and county housing targets within the Potential Annexation Area. Average net residential densities throughout the Potential Annexation Area should be at least four u nits per a cre i n order to adequately support urban services. Growth Management Hearings Board decisions have determined that lands within Urban Growth Areas should be divided at a minimum of four dwelling units per net acre to ensure efficient provision of urban services. The zoning district SR-3 allows 3.63 dwelling units per acre and a minimum lot size of 9,600 square feet. The net density calculations will be evaluated with the analysis of an application for subdivision. Further staff comment: During the City's recent efforts to update the Kent Comprehensive Plan, staff received letters from both the Washington State Department of Community, Trade & Economic Development ("CTED") and 1000 Friends of Washington on the subject of urban density. The CTED letter states in part, "The G MA was i ntended t o e nsure t hat I ands i nside u rban g rowth a reas (UGAs) are developed at urban densities, unless there are compelling reasons for developing at lower densities. The Central Puget Sound Growth ' Management Hearings Board (CPSGMHB) has determined that lands within a Page 2 of 3 Staff Report-Addendum Howard's Addition Rezone ' #RZ-2003-2 KIVA#2031319 UGA should be divided at a minimum of four dwelling units per net (buildable) ' acre to ensure efficient provision of urban services such as sewer, water, and public transit...The land may be developed at lower densities, but should allow for infill when services become available." The letter from 1000 Friends of Washington states in part, "The Growth Management Act (GMA) goals encourage development inside urban growth areas (UGAs) and the reduction of low-density sprawling development.' Further, urban growth at urban densities shall be encouraged within the UGA.Z...To address these Issues and carryout the goals and requirements of the GMA, the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board has adopted a 'bright line' rule that comprehensive plans and development regulations must have a maximum density of no less than four residential dwelling units per net acre for all lands within the UGA.3 This density "is clearly compact urban development and satisfies the low end of the range required by the [Growth Management] Act."` "Any new residential land use pattern within a UGA that is less dense is not a compact urban development pattern, constitutes urban sprawl, and is prohibited."5 The board has recognized a limited exception for "...environmentally sensitive systems [that] are large in scope (e.g., watershed or drainage sub-basin), their structure and functions are complex and their rank order value is high, ..." Then a local government can apply densities of less than four housing units per net acre.' All three of these criteria must be met to qualify for the exception and generally few lands in the UGA will qualify for this limited exception." Staff proposes to embark soon on an analysis of its land use and zoning designations of less than 4 dwelling units per acre to ensure compliance with the GMA. In the meantime, wherever possible under existing designations, (in this case a rezone to SR-3 consistent with the Comprehensive Plan land use designation of SF-3)staff will propose conditions to facilitate such compliance, as ' indicated by its proposed Condition #A.2 of the preliminary plat.

LOCATION: The sub�ect property is located at 27830 106 Avenue SE, Kent, Washington and is identified as King County Tax Parcel No. 3222059094 PROCEDURE: The Hearing Examiner held a consolidated open record hearing on the rezone and preliminary plat a pplications on M ay 19, 2 004. 1 n a n o rder dated June 4, 2004 (Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation, No. RZ-2003-2), the Hearing Examiner remanded the rezone application to the Planning Department for further analysis of the relationship between the zoning request and the Comprehensive Plan. The open record 1 hearing was reconvened on July 7, 2004 to supplement the record with the requested information and to allow interested parties to ' comment on the new information. Because the preliminary plat application was based on SR-3 zoning of the subject property, the Hearing Examiner determined that no decision on the preliminary plat could be made prior to City Council action on the rezone application.

FINDINGS 1. The Applicant requested a zoning map amendment to rezone 4.65 acres of land from SR-2 (Single-Family Residential, maximum density 2.18 dwelling units per acre) to SR-3 (Single-Family Residential, maximum density 3.63 dwelling units per acre); and a preliminary plat to subdivide the 4.65 acres into ten single-family lots. The subject property is located at 27830 106th Avenue SE, Kent, Washington and is identified as King County Tax Parcel No. 3222059094. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 1; Exhibit 1, Attachment a. 2. The subject property and all adjacent properties are zoned SR-2. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 2; Exhibit 1, Attachment a (Preliminary Plat Map). There is some property in unincorporated King County two parcels south of the subject property that is zoned for residential development at a density of four dwelling units per acre. Exhibit 1, Attachment a (Applicant Response to Criteria). ' This exhibit was admitted into the record during the July 7, 2004 remand hearing on the rezone application, but some of the issues raised (i e , project density) will be addressed as part of the Hearing Examiner's review of the preliminary plat. For the rezone application, the relevant inquiry is the 1 consistency of the proposed zoning designation with the Comprehensive Plan. Issues raised with respect to the consistency of the project with the Comprehensive Plan (i e., whether the project density is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and/or Growth Management Act minimum density requirements) are relevant to the preliminary plat application The Hearing Examiner will issue a decision on the preliminary plat application after the City Council has made a decision on the rezone s This exhibit was admitted into the record during the July 7, 2004 remand hearing on the rezone application but will be addressed as part of the Hearing Examiner's review of the preliminary plat. Findings, Conclusions & Recommendation Hearing Examiner for City of Kent Howard's Addition Rezone #RZ-2003-2 Kl VA #2031319 Page 3 of 11 3. The City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the subject property and all surrounding properties as Single-Family, three units per acre (SF-3)3. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 2, Testimony of Ms. Clamp; City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The difference between the density limitation as expressed in the Comprehensive Plan (maximum density three dwelling units per acre) and the SR-3 density limitation as expressed in the Zoning Code (maximum density 3.63 dwelling units per acre) is explained by the legislative history of the zoning designation (described in Finding No. 4, below). Exhibit 1, Staff Report Addendum. 4. When the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan was adopted in April of 1995, the City zoning districts were defined by minimum lot sizes (e.g., the R1-12 zone required a minimum lot size of 12,000 square feet) rather than allowable density. At that time the SF-3 Comprehensive Plan designation was deemed compatible with the R1-12 zoning designation. Although not expressed as such, the 12,000-square foot minimum lot size allowed in the R1-12 zone yielded a gross density of 3.63 dwelling units per acre (43,560 square feet per acre _ 12,000 s quare f eet p er I of = 3.63 d welling u nits p er a cre). T hrough Ordinance No. 3268 (December 1995), the City Council reduced the minimum lot sizes in the single-family residential zones to reflect the fact that plat features such as roads, stormwater facilities and open space tracts prevented the allowed zoning density to be achieved. The minimum lot size in the R1-12 district was reduced to 9,600 square feet. Through Ordinance No. 3290 (April 1996), the Council redefined the zoning districts such that R1-12 became SR- 3 (maximum density three dwelling units per acre). The unintended effect of Ordinance No. 3290 was that project densities decreased. Consequently, through Ordinance No. 3327 (December 1996), the Council amended the maximum permitted densities to coincide with the density factors that existed prior to adoption of Ordinance No. 3268. Under Ordinance No. 3327, the maximum permitted density in the SR-3 zone is 3.63 dwelling units per acre, which is consistent with the density allowed in the R1-12 district at the time the Comprehensive Plan was adopted. Exhibit 1, Staff Report Addendum; Testimony of Ms. Clamp. 5. The City of Kent Comprehensive Plan contains the following goals and policies that are relevant to the rezone application: 3 Please note that the Comprehensive Plan designation has an "SF" prefix, whereas the Zoning Code designation has an "SR"prefix. Findings, Conclusions &Recommendation l Heanng Examiner for City of Kent Howard's Addition Rezone #RZ-2003-2 KIVA #2031319 Page 4 of 11 t tGoal LU-8: The City of Kent adopts a 20-year housing target of 7,500 new dwelling units within the existing city limits. Coordinate with King County through an interlocal agreement on housing targets in the unincorporated area within Kent's Potential Annexation Area. Policy LU-8.1: Provide in the land use plan adequate land and densities to accommodate both city and county housing targets within the Potential Annexation Area. Average net residential densities throughout the Potential Annexation Area should be a t least f our u nits per a cre in o rder to adequately support urban services. ■ Goal LU-9: Provide opportunities for a variety of housing types, options, and ■ densities throughout the city and the Potential Annexation Area. Policy LU-9.4: Allow single family housing on a variety of lot sizes, including 5,000 square foot lots. Locate smaller lot sizes within close proximity to the urban activity centers. Goal LU-20: Protect and enhance environmentally sensitive areas via the adoption of the City regulations a nd programs which encourage well-designed land use patterns such as clustering and planned unit development. Use such land use patterns to concentrate higher urban land use densities and intensity of uses in specified areas in order to preserve natural features such as large wetlands, streams, steep slopes, and forests. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 5-6. 6. The Growth Management Act (GMA) (RCW 36.70A) provides cities with goals for guiding the development of comprehensive plans and development regulations. One of the goals is to "encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner." ' RCW 36.70A.020(1). Another goal is to "reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density development." RCW 36.70A.020(2). Within urban areas, the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board has established a "bright line" net density threshold of four dwelling units per acre at or above which residential development would clearly constitute urban development consistent with growth management goals. Cities may plan urban areas at densities lower than four dwelling units per acre only with adequate justification, such as when needed to protect environmentally sensitive systems that are large in scope, have a complex structure and functions, and high rank order value.

Pierce County, No. 02- , 3-010 (Final Decision and Order, February 4, 2003); Exhibits 4-6. 7. The subject property was annexed to the City of Kent in 1996. Prior to annexation, the King County zoning designation of the property was Urban Reserve, one dwelling unit per five acres, but the County was in the process of ' recommending that the Urban Reserve designation be replaced with the R-4-P designation, which allowed four dwelling units per acre. Upon annexation the City of Kent zoned the property for residential development at a density of two 1 dwelling units per acre. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 8-9. 8. During the City of Kent's recent Comprehensive Plan update process, the Washington State Department of Community Trade and Economic Development (CTED) recommended that "every parcel within a UGA should be subdivided to a minimum density of four units per net (buildable) acre" and cautioned against averaging across a wide area to reach the minimum density requirement. Exhibit 4. 9. The subject property is currently developed with a single-family residence and a barn. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 2. 10. Development in the immediate vicinity of the site consists predominately of single-family residences on large lots. These lots could be developed to a density of 2.18 dwelling units per acre without a rezone. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 7- 8; Exhibit 1, Attachment a (Preliminary Plat Map). 11. Taking into account the site area required for right-of-way dedication, access, wetlands and stormwater detention, the Applicant could divide the subject property into approximately seven single-family residential lots under current SR- 2 zoning standards. Testimony of Ms. Clamp; Exhibit 1, Attachment a (Applicant's Response to Criteria and Preliminary Plat Map). With the requested rezone the Applicant proposes to divide the 4.65-acre parcel into ten single- family residential lots.5 Access to the plat would be from 108th Avenue SE, and access to individual lots within the plat would be from a new hammerhead road "CTED is the agency responsible for administering the Growth Management Act. f 5 This finding is based on the Applicant's original preliminary plat submittal (see Exhibit 1,Attachment a) At the July 7, 2004 remand hearing on the rezone application, the Applicant proposed to create an 11th lot to comply with the GMA four dwelling unit per acre standard described in Finding of Fact No.6 (see Exhibits 6 and 7). Whether such action is warranted under GMA case law or permissible under the requested SR-3 zoning will be addressed in the preliminary plat decision. Findings, Conclusions & Recommendation Hearing Examiner for City of Kent Howard's Addition Rezone #RZ-2003-2 Kl VA #2031319 Page 6 of 11 (Tract B). According to the preliminary plat map (Exhibit 1, Attachment a), the Applicant proposes to develop six lots (9,600 to 10,263 square feet in area) on the north side of Tract B and four lots (9,965 to 25,026 square feet in area) on the south side of Tract B. A 15,080-square foot stormwater detention tract (Tract C) and a 24,363-square foot wetland tract (Tract A)6 would also be located on the south side of Tract B, between proposed Lots 8 and 10. The preliminary plat map depicts a dedication of right-of-way along the west and south property lines and sidewalks along Tract B and the 108th Avenue SE property frontage. Exhibit 1, Attachment a (Preliminary Plat Map). 12. The subject property is on the west side of 108th Avenue SE, approximately one- quarter mile south of the City's South 272nd/277th Street Corridor. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 3 & 9. Since the SR-2 zoning was established the City has completed significant transportation improvements to the South 272nd/277th Street Corridor. This corridor connects the East H ill a rea of K ent to t he valley floor and provides direct freeway access for residents coming from East Hill. An on-ramp and off-ramp to and from the new corridor have been provided at 108th Avenue SE to the north of the site. City staff submitted that the transportation improvements are a change in circumstance since the SR-2 zoning designation was adopted in 1996. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 9, Testimony of Ms. Clamp. 13. The residential density allowed by the rezone would generate more traffic than the residential density allowed under current SR-2 zoning. This traffic impact would be mitigated during the subdivision process through frontage improvement requirements and payment of environmental mitigation fees. The City has already issued a SEPA Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) for the plat which requires traffic mitigation. The MDNS was not appealed. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, pages 3 & 8, Exhibit 1, Attachment f. 14. The City of Kent conducted environmental review of the rezone and preliminary plat applications pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and issued a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS) on April 15, 2004. The MDNS requires mitigation of traffic impacts associated with the plat, and installation of a fence and wetland identification signs around the perimeter of the wetland buffer. The MDNS does not contain any conditions directly applicable to the rezone application. The MDNS was not appealed. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, ' page 2; Exhibit 1, Attachment f. 6 The subject property contains a Category 3 wetland. The wetland and required 25-foot wide buffer comprise 24,363 square feet of the site area Exhibit 1, Staff Report,page 6;Exhibit 1,Attachment a (Preliminary Plat Map).

Notice of the rezone application was posted on the property, published in King County Journal, and mailed to agencies with jurisdiction on January 2, 2004. Exhibit 1, Attachment e. 16. Notice of the open record hearing was posted on the property, published in King i County Journal, and mailed to properties within 300 feet of the site on May 7, 2004. Exhibit 1, Attachment d. 17. Public comment was submitted in opposition to the rezone application. The concerns raised included pedestrian and bicycle safety on 108th Avenue SE (which is already a busy street); the accuracy of the Applicant's wetland i delineation (the contention was that the wetland extends throughout the site as depicted in the July 17, 2001 City of Kent Wetland Inventory (Exhibit 3)); flooding on SE 279th Street; the inconsistency between SR-3 lot sizes and lot sizes in the vicinity of the site; increased burden on public services such as schools; and negative impacts to wildlife and Mt. Rainier views. The witnesses objected to an increase in residential density. The current level of development in the area is approximately nine houses on 40 acres. Testimony of Mr. Pawlowski, Mr. Wing, Ms. Davis and Mr. Gilmore; Exhibit 1, Attachment b; Exhibit 2. CONCLUSIONS Jurisdiction i The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to hold an open record hearing on this quasi- judicial rezone and to issue a written recommendation for final action to the Council, pursuant to RCW 35A.63.170 and Chapters 2.32 and 15.09 of the Kent City Code. Criteria for Review , Section 15.09.050(C) of the Kent Zoning Code sets forth the standards and criteria the Hearing Examiner must use to evaluate a request for a rezone. A request for a rezone shall only be granted if. a. The proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; b. The proposed rezone and subsequent development of the site would be ' compatible with development in the vicinity; Findings, Conclusions & Recommendation Hearing Examiner for City of Kent Howard's Addition Rezone #RZ-2003-2 K/VA #2031319 i Page 8 of 11 C. The proposed rezone will not unduly burden the transportation system in the vicinity of the property with significant adverse impacts which cannot be ' mitigated; d. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the current ' zoning district to warrant the proposed rezone; e. The proposed rezone will not adversely affect the health, safety and general ' welfare of the citizens of the City of Kent. Conclusions based on Findings: 1. The proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The 3.63 dwelling unit per acre standard of the SR-3 zone is consistent with SF-3 ' Comprehensive Plan designation. Increasing the allowed density on the subject property through the requested rezone would further GMA goals as expressed in the RCW 36.70A, Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board ' decisions, and Policy LU-8.1 of the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan. Findings of Fact Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7& 8. ' 2. The proposed rezone is compatible with surrounding development. Development in the area surrounding the proposed rezone is all single family residential. The Applicant proposes a single-family development as part of this ' project rezone. Thus, the proposed rezone is compatible with surrounding development. The primary purpose of a zoning code is to provide separation and transition between incompatible uses. That is why the zoning map includes ' commercial and industrial designations. H ere, even though the density of the proposed project rezone may be greater than that in the surrounding area, the ' proposed use is single-family residential, the same use that exists all around the subject property. Findings of Fact Nos. 9 & 10. ' 3. The proposed rezone would not unduly burden the transportation system in the vicinity of the property with significant adverse impacts which cannot be mitigated. The proposed rezone would add slightly more traffic to the local transportation system than would be generated by a development limited to SR-2 density. However, sufficient evidence was provided to be able to conclude that the additional traffic could be fully mitigated through the preliminary ' plat process. The MDNS issued for the proposal also includes traffic mitigation for the plat. Findings of Fact Nos.13 & 14. 4. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the current zoning district. In Bjamson v. Kitsap County, 78 Wash.App. 840, 846 ' Findings, Conclusions & Recommendation Hearing Examiner for City of Kent Howard's Addition Rezone 1 #RZ-2003-2 KIVA #2031319 Page 9 of 11 1 (1995), the court held that "where the proposed rezone ... implements policies of the comprehensive plan, changed circumstances are not required." The court adopted the rationale from the earlier decision Save Our Rural Environment v. ' Snohomish County that: If such implementation were not allowed to occur until physical or developmental , circumstances in the area had changed, the new comprehensive plan might never be fulfilled: if an area is presently undeveloped and newly amended comprehensive plan calls for industrial development, no industrial development , may occur until al least one rezone has been granted. Bjarnson, 78 Wash.App. at 846 (quoting Save Our Rural Environment v. Snohomish County, 99 Wash.2d 363, 370 (1983)). ' In the present case, the proposed rezone implements policies of the ' Comprehensive Plan (particularly Policy LU-8.1) by increasing residential densities in the annexation area to a level more consistent with the GMA standard. Although under Bjarnson changed circumstances need not be shown , in this case, it should be noted that significant transportation improvements have occurred in the vicinity of the site since the zoning was established. Finding of Fact No. 12. , 5. The proposed rezone would not adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Kent. Residents in the vicinity of ' the site provided much comment on the potential negative impacts of the rezone. However, the evidence was insufficient to conclude that there would be adverse health and safety impacts associated with the proposed SR-3 zoning. The rezone would allow only a slightly higher density of residential development than is allowed under the current zoning designation. Whether the zoning is SR-2 or SR- ' 3, development of the property would add traffic to the local street system and add impervious surfaces to the drainage basin. The additional quantity of impact caused by the SR-3 project density can be mitigated through the requirements of ' existing development regulations and conditions of subdivision approval. It must be emphasized in this regard that environmental review was conducted pursuant to SEPA on both the rezone and the plat. It was determined that no significant ' adverse impacts will occur if the mitigation measures are implemented. This determination was not appealed. The issue regarding wetland protection need not be resolved through the rezone process. The wetland must be properly ' characterized and protected in accordance with ordinance standards regardless of w hether t he p roperty i s zoned S R-2 o r S R-3. M ost o f t he r emaining i ssues raised in public comment related to neighborhood character. However, ' neighborhood character is not a health or safety issue identified by the City Findings, Conclusions & Recommendation ' Hearing Examiner for City of Kent Howard's Addition Rezone #RZ-2003-2 KIVA #2031319 , Page 10 of 11 Council in the criteria for review of a proposed rezone. The criteria do refer to "the "citizens of the City of Kent', but this is a broader category of individuals than t the property owners in the immediate vicinity of the site. While the concerns of immediate n eighbors are t aken i nto c onsideration, t he H earing E xaminer m ust review a proposed rezone with the interests of the entire city in mind. Findings of ' Fact Nos. 11, 13, 14 & 17. The "general welfare" of the citizens of the City of Kent should be determined with reference to the adopted Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is the key legislative statement regarding the level of development that is appropriate for the community. Because the proposed SR-3 zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the Hearing Examiner concludes that the rezone would not have an adverse impact on the general welfare of the citizens of the City of Kent. ' RECOMMENDATION Based upon the preceding Findings and Conclusions, the Hearing Examiner recommends that the application for a rezone of King County Tax Parcel No. 3222059094 from SR-2 to SR-3 be APPROVED.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE The Olson House is a ly story 341 x 26r, structure with shiplap siding. The roof consists of two gables which join at right angles. When viewed from the front (south), the end of the high gable is on the right. The ridge of the bellcast portion is on the left and parallel to the main facade. The eaves and verges of both sections of the roof project; however, the rafters are exposed only under the eaves of ' the bellcast section of the roof. There is a chimney straddling the ridge of each sec- tion of the roof. Although one of the chimneys appears unaltered, the other has been rebuilt with new brick. The roof is now covered with composition shingles. The main facade is simple and unadorned. The decorated front door opens onto a ' recessed porch. The porch is offset slightly to the left and rests entirely under the eaves of the bellcast roof. The wood stairs are now missing. A dormer with a shed roof is centered on the slope of the roof above the porch. To the immediate left of the porch there are three adjoining double-hung windows. To the Tight of the porch, under the high sable and, there are tuo pair& of double-Sung wind.wa: one pair on each floor. The front door and the double-hung windows have simple entablature beads. Several outbuildings are located to the rear of the house: outhouses, barns, a +" tool shed, and, finally, ■ shed which at one time housed the works of a small gas plant-* Little can be seen of the outbuildings, however. Most appear to be frame structures with vertical board siding and high gable roofs. The outbuildings retain their cedar-shake roofs. The Olson Farm is especially important. The house is, in fact, one of the few houses built around the turn-of-the-century which has survived the last seven decades without major internal or external modification. The architectural integrity of the house may ' be judged, in part, by its lack of either electrical wiring or indoor plumbing. It should also be noted that the house still boasts gas-AAgnL aixtures. ane outouiiaings, Me the house, appear to be in very much the same condition as when they were built. The house and outbuildings are remarkably well-preserved examples of farm structures at the turn-of-the-teattury. it e-machinery bar. been removed from the property, and—is now on sp ay at the White River Valley Historical Society in Auburn. , • SL.H It a�SNIL ' _ r • u.11lae:;�) E.N.

W,•, uuaat 1902 Present Level of Stgnlflcance• , Most Significant Period 1902-present _National _State ]LLocal STATEMENT OF HISTORY a SIGNIFICANCE The Alfred Olson Farm is significant for two reasons. First, it has survived for over seven decades without major modification and thus it is not only a prime example of turn-of-the-century rural architecture, but is also an excellent source for anyone who wishes to study the social history of that period. And second, because It was the site ' of a famous incident during which the Johnson family was held hostage by a notorious outlaw. The recent history of the site begins with its purchase by Alfred Olson, a Swedish immigrant, in 1874.* Mr. Olson married during the 1860's and became the father of two children, Anna (b. 1885) and Alfred, Jr. (b. 1887). The family lived in a small cabin ' near where the Olson House now stands. Mr. Olson died shortly after the birth of his son. Mrs. Olson subsequently married E.N. Johnson, and the family col.tinued to live In the cabin and work the farm. In early 1902, the existing house was built. In July of 1902, the farm was visited by Harry Tracy. Tracy had escaped from ' prison in Oregon, where he was serving a twenty-year sentence for armed robbery. Prior to his arrival at the Johnson farm, the outlaw apparently killed a number of men, mostly guards and deputies. Upon reaching the Johnson farm, Tracy was in desperate need of rest and supplies. He forced Mr. Johnsori•to go to Tacoma to buy a gun while he held Mrs. Johnson and the children hostage. The Incident ended after Mr. Johnson returned with the required supplies. Tracy was eventually cornered in Eastern Washington, where he committed suicide, rather than submit to capture.** Alfred Olson, Jr. remembers the details of the hostage incident clearly. The site 1a still used for agricultural purposes, and, although now retired, Alf ' Olean is still the owner. The farm 1a operated by his heirs, the Jamesons. +� A lumber will had previously been operated on the site. , ** The gun purchased by Mr. Johnson 1s on display at the White River Valley Historical Society Museum in Auburn. This Is the weapon with which Tracy committed suicide. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES - - "Former Captive of Harry Tracy Gives Outlaw's Gun to Museum," Kent News-Journal, February 23, 1972, p. 1.

May 12,2004 , RECEIVED , m",xt " ; 2004 CITY of KENT , PLANNING SERVICES City of Kent Office of the Hearing Examiner ' RE: Howard's Addition#SU-2002-6(KIVA#RPP3-2031319)and#RK•2003-2(KIVA #RPP4-2031319) Rezoning ofproperty located at 27830— 106a'Avenue SE from SR-2 to SR-3 The property is near Meadow Glen elementary school and borders the walkway that children use to walk to and from school. Increasing the housing density will increase the traffic on the 2-lane road as well as creating the potential of additional stress to the already stretched Kent School District budget. Depending on what water and sewage sources are used,current residents' well water tables and drainage could be affected. The property is near wetlands that is home to birds and wildlife. Do we want to continue to drive our creatures of nature to extinction by continually encroaching on their habitat? It would appear that the re-zone is for the economic hmIth of the requestor with no regard to the effects to the surrounding community. If the re-zone is granted,anyone with a 2/3 or more acre parcel in the SR-2 area would be able to request a re-zone compounding the effects of traffic,school overcrowding, wildlife extinction and quality of life. I oppose the SR-2 to SR-3 re-zone in an effort to help preserve the quality of life of this community. Respectfully, ' Carole Henry 10604 SE 281 Kent, WA 98030 Exhibit oZ File -z a 00 Date Hearing Examiner City of Kent ' Impact due to Howard's Addition May 19, 2004 1 . This hearing should be re-scheduled three months from now in order that the adjoining neighbors can adequately respond to this Addition. We did not receive details until three days ago. This is insufficient time to prepare. The developer had years to prepare. ' 2. The homes and property currently in the neighborhood are well kept and maintained and are within the S350K range. The Howard Addition will substantially reduce the property values. 3. The proposed dwellings will be in a rural setting thereby making the Howard Addition appear out of place. An Addition like this should only be considered on existing bus lines and adjacent to existing shopping and service areas. This will have the appearance of a ghetto ' and certainly be an instant slum. It will only attract people who traditionally ignore property upkeep and are continually making life miserable for people who express concerns regarding their life style. ' Fences will not keep these people at their homes. 4. This proposed high density, to my knowledge, does not exist in the ' Kent area except at apartment dwellings. 5. Nine new homes mean 18 automobiles along with their noise and eventual junkers. We are having difficulty currently exiting 27911 Street ' onto 108th Avenue, 1081 Avenue should be a candidate for four lanes now. ' 6. Pedestrian impact will be increased substantially from its present state no matter what is produced. The increase will alter lifestyles for my neighbors and I, who moved here to get away from overly busy areas ' for peace and quiet. If one complains, all we can expect is a finger wave and some bad mouthing. 7. The same with bike traffic from the new Addition because no reasonable parent will allow their children to ride elsewhere except on 106th Avenue S.E. All of our children are grown and gone. Locate this t Addition in town where children's facilities are in place for these kinds of activities. What is my liability for children getting into an accident on any private road? Exhibit a ' File Rz-. z0(X-.0 Date w-1-19-og Hearing Examiner 1 City of Kent 1 1 8. My neighbors and I moved here for the view of the mountain - ask any ' real estate salesperson what value they place on it. We will all see the garbage cans and junk in their back yards. 9. We can expect nine dogs and nine cats as a minimum. Where will they ' do their toileting? Certainly not on their postage stamp lot. Their next door neighbor won't allow it either. "Dear old Ed" across the street will have to clean up the mess. 1 10. 1 don't believe in fences (except deer fences). I do not propose to keep people out. What kind of fencing provisions will these new 1 tenants permit? These are private roads in the area now - how do they propose to honor them as private? 11 . Noise. It presently is non-existent but it certainly will increase measurably from this tenant Addition. Did you ever try to reason with someone who generates noise from radios, music boom boxes, , musical instruments and loud cars to name only a few sources? It is no fun getting the finger and being told to go to hell. 12. Why don't all lots in this Addition be made to exit and enter on 1081h 1 Avenue? 13. It is now difficult to see oncoming traffic on 1O8`h Avenue when exiting ' from 2791h Street. It will become extremely dangerous when the ghetto and instant slums arrive and a building on lot 9 is built. ' 14. What is minimum distance between homes for this proposed ghetto and instant slums? Hopefully, it's 20 feet. , 1 S. We are currently experiencing worse flooding and drainage conditions than in the past since the 911 facilities and Pheasant Ridge homes have been added in spite of the fact that this has been the driest spring in the past 40 years. What can we expect when the ghetto is built? 1 16. Where do children from the ghetto play? I don't want to be the nasty neighbor chasing them off my property only to get the finger and a lot ' of verbal abuse. 17. 1 want to be excluded from any water damage claims due to drainage from my property onto the proposed ghetto property. I have already J1ad words regarding drainage onto that property in the past. This is patural drainage. , 2 1 i 1 18. 1 want to make it absolutely clear that items 5 and 6, on page 16 of 1 the staff report, be very specific in stating that access from the ghetto be only on 108'h Avenue. Items on page 8 of the staff report should be clarified or deleted. ' 19. What is a category 3 wetland? 20. Seems that Land Use Plan LU8 and LU9 are not being fully complied with. Especially LU-8.3 which states "locate housing opportunities within close proximity to employment, shopping, transit and 1 community services". None of the above conditions are compliant to the Howard Addition. 1 21. Would anyone in this Hearing room live in a neighborhood as depicted in the Howard Addition? 22. 1 have no objection to subdividing providing it is in concert with the existing dwelling and property values. Strongly recommend that zoning remain as is (SR-2). 1 23. Kent is proposing four homes on 10 acres behind the 911 facility whereas the reverse is true for the ghetto,just a block away, which 1 has 10 homes on less than four acres. 24. The wetlands as noted on the site map of the preliminary plat are not 1 completely defined nor is the culvert under 2791' shown. This culvert area floods heavily after most rain storms. It should be noted that a large pond which has been filled in is also not shown. Not shown also is the wetlands which exist from currently shown Tract A through proposed lots 5, 6 and 7. The previous owner of lot 10 and I had a serious discussion regarding the natural rain water runoff from 1 properties 22801, 27727 and 27707 - all on 10611, Avenue S.E. The existing wetlands (not shown on site map) is a 30 to 40 foot wide swath from Tract A and continues north through lots 3 and 4 and 1 continues through 27761 1081 Avenue S.E. property and on up to and including an existing pond on 27704 106"' Avenue S.E. which no longer dries up in the heat of summer as it previously did prior to the 1 911 installation and its extensive paving. The wetlands survey by B-Twelve Associates seems to be very 1 generous for the developer showing minimum conditions. In my observations while walking almost daily and living here for 25 years, the wetlands were far greater than that depicted on the site map. The ' horse was not allowed to graze in one half of the pasture during fall, winter and early spring due to adverse muddy conditions. Is B-Twelve 3 1 1 Associates a government agency or private firm hired by Howard's Addition? Can we-neighbors hire another firm or ask the City of Kent to perform another wetlands survey? 25. Our area represents a transition between urban areas of Kent and the , outlaying rural areas. We ask you to maintain the current status and zoning. 1 Ed Pawlowski 27727 10W4 Avenue S.E. Kent, Washington 98030 1 I i 1 I 1 1 1 1 I 1 4 1 May 19,2004 Page 1/2 Subject Howard's Addition#SU-2001-6,Subdivision Proposal to divide 4.43 acres into 10 single-family residental lots Mr Hunter Land use Hearing Examiner ' Kent Planning Services After reviewing the subject proposal, it appears that there remains several issues regarding the wetlands area which must still be addressed. I have hved adjacent to the subject property for 28 years,and have observed the drainage pattern which occurs after a significant rainfall,and in general,the water flow during an average ' winter season. These wetlands are not isolated to this property exclusively,and are part of a complex ECO system which includes drainage from several acres to the North, West, and South of the Subject property. Also,2 large ponds to the South of this Property are directly affected. Below are some of the Items which still must be addressed and recommendations to alleviate these concerns. ' 1. Lots#3,4,S and 6,will directly interfere with surface water runoff which occurs after each rainfall,and during most winter months. Buildings located in these areas will be vulnerable to flooding and other drainage problems,and will also interfere with the overall water drainage pattern which currently exists.. 2. 270 St SE floods across the roadway routinely after most rainfalls,indicating that there are indeed,large amounts of water drainage which does occur. It is believed that a significantly larger area must be set aside in tract A to address the Wetland issue. 3. There are at least 2 large ponds directly to the South of the subject property which depend at least partially for their water source through the complex natural water flow drainage system which crosses through and under the subject property. Even small ' changes to this natural drainage system will adversely affect these downstream ponds which support many varieties of our birds,ducks,and many other species of wildlife which depend on these ponds for their existence. These Wetlands on downstream adjacent properties must also be considered and protected The subject property slopes from North to South,and the natural water flow from areas to the North and South must cross this property. The subject property is not an isolated parcel,but represents only a link in a large and complex natural drainage system. As indicated above, water flowing from adjacent areas must cross through and/or under this property, and interfering Iwith this natural process will also impact sensitive Wetlands on downstream areas as well. Exhibit.— ' File - -o Data Hearing Examiner City of Kent Page 2/2 May 19,2004 , It is recommended that lots 3,4, 5,and 6 be abandoned as proposed building sites, and that they be permanently preserved as they currently exist. Hopefully this proposal will be considered and accepted as stated herein. If this proposal is not accepted as stated, it is requested that the Hearing Examiner will make a determination that further study is required to mitigate the issues brought forward herein. , Page 2/2 I wish to thank the Hearing Examiner for his time and consideration of this proposal, which is intended to cause the least impact to the environment and area to be affected by the proposed Addition. Respectfully; Fred E Wing Jr ' 27901 10&Ave Se Kent, Wa,98030 Re: , Harold's Addition Impact due to Howard's Addition May 19, 2004 ' OPENING STATEMENT Presently, our community has nine homes situated on approximately 40 acres. A number of people have horses that they keep year round and we all enjoy a rural-type life style which includes the wildlife indigenous to this area. We very much enjoy our neighbors and our community and the safety this secluded neighborhood provides not only for ourselves but for both our children and grandchildren. We understand that development is part of the growth of the City of Kent and we simply want to make it clear that the present zoning (category SR-2) should remain in place and the SR-3 zoning request, as proposed by the Howard's Addition, be rejected. If the zoning were kept as is, development of like, kind Iand quality structures would be undertaken that would be complimentary to our community and profitable for the developer. The proposed rezoning would negatively affect our community in every aspect of our daily life. ' We have no objection to reasonable subdividing providing it is in harmony with the existing dwelling and property values. We request and strongly recommend the zoning remain as SR-2. AREAS / ISSUES OF CONCERN First Point - Environmental impact During the winter months, it is common for our only access road to be flooded at its lowest point from the saturation of the adjoining wetland. Building on the proposed lot is going to significantly exacerbate this already existing condition. ' Exhibit �- File Date q-n 1 Hearing Examiner — City of Kent 13MAn �I �lu`oYe� 1 . 1 It is my understanding that the Environmental Committee that oversaw the wetland report was not aware of a body of water which joins two large ponds ' within our community. The northern most pond is located on Mr/Mrs. Warren's property - the southern most pond is located on Mr/Mrs. Hogland's property. These two ponds are connected by a waterway that dissects the Howard Addition property. The culvert, under our only access road, and areas ' surrounding this location stay saturated year round, eventually overflowing in the winter months. We want to be excluded from any water damage claims due to natural drainage ' from our property onto the proposed Addition. Second Point - WATER QUALITY We believe this development, as proposed, will severely affect our private i aquifer. Our community is serviced by one common well and allowing such a large concentration of people, including their vehicles, animals and landscaping by-products will most certainly contaminate our water supply because of the waste runoff from these external sources; runoff that we presently do not have. It is also my contention that such a concentration of housing will most certainly adversely affect the delicate structure of the existing wetlands, pushing waste water and erosion into the adjoining properties. Third Point - Safety , Significant safety issues exist with this proposed development. ' o There is to be a significant increased in the traffic flow on 1081 Avenue S.E. as one mile down the road construction is already underway for a , 500 plus unit housing development in the Lea Hills area: Building nine additional homes will only add to the congestion of this already taxed roadway. 2 ' o There will be an increased difficulty exiting 279`, (a private drive) onto 1081'Avenue S.E. because of the close proximity of ingress and egress of this development to the north, the most dangerous direction for the traffic as this southbound traffic crests a hill just prior to our private road and visibility is very limited. o Increased liability on our private road, e.g. children, children on bikes, domestic animals where we, the existing homeowners, will have to bear ithe responsibility for the addition liability insurance. o Increased wear and tear with respect to all local utilities o There is an elementary school directly across the street from this proposed development. Children walk to and from this school every day ' in great numbers. This appears to be a very dangerous location for 9 to 18 additional vehicles to enter/exit daily. to And, we are very concerned about the demographic of the population targeted to live in this development. Crime basically does not exist in our community and we believe allowing such a dense population naturally increases the risk to our neighborhood safety. Fourth Point - Property Values We live in a rural-type setting where coyotes, deer, raccoon, feral cats, rats and mice exist in great number. Doubling the population, in such a concentrated area, will almost certainly increase the nuisance posed by these wild animals. 1 Whatever development materializes, it is clear there needs to be a tightly fenced perimeter to keep the vermin out; and that fence needs to be landscaped so it is harmonious with the existing layout of our community. It is critical that no access to our private road be granted to this development. This private road 0 061 Avenue S.E.) was designed only for the five existing ' homes which it now services - nothing more. Significantly increasing the load 3 We were fortunate enough to purchase a very nice home at the end of a dead end street where we enjoy the solitude, peace and harmony afforded to us by , this remote location. One of the driving reasons for our purchase of this home was the peace and serenity that now appears to be jeopardized by this new development. Finally - Construction Nuisances I work from our residence where noise and distractions are a detriment to my , productivity. Construction in such close proximity to my office will invariably ' decrease my productivity. During the recent construction of the 911 facility, our phone lines were severed a number of times; disrupting my business extensively. I can't help but anticipate the proposed construction by the t Howard's Addition, which will occur near the location where all of our phone lines are presently distributed, will cause significant delays in productivity and i efficiency. As such, I propose, prior to any ground breaking, that high speed internet service be run to every home in our community that wishes to have this service. This will help offset many of the possible delays caused by construction damages. During the construction phase there will be increased dirt, noise and pollution , for the duration of the project. Limiting the number of houses produced will minimize the length of time necessary to build these new homes thereby , keeping the detrimental effects to the surrounding community to a minimum. SUMMARY ' We do not object to the reasonable subdivision of the Howard's Addition - providing it is representative of the existing dwellings, property values and environmental conditions. Building two homes per acre, as the existing code now allows, with design concepts that enhance rather than detract from the existing community will not take any more time to complete. Considering 5 today's housing market, building homes of this nature may be even more ' profitable for Mr. Wilson. ' There is no pressing need to saturate, to the maximum level, the small piece of land owned by Howard Wilson with homes that do not reflect our very well established community. We are all separated by space and natural buffer zones; we have formed a strong community where neighbors look after one another. Introducing nine inew families in such a tightly compacted location will disrupt this harmony- without question. i Our community represents a transitional buffer zone between the densely populated urban areas of Kent and the outlying rural areas. To allow Howard Wilson, a man who lives in Edmonds, which obviously has no long term interest 1 in well being of our community, to so adversely effect our standard of living is reprehensible. This property owner has no other concern regarding this project other than his own profitability and as such we ask that you maintain the current SR2 zoning status. 6 1 ,�- ���A�TTTr(�[] x vt L^ .I- .:✓ '�' `. -l E E7rj x;a > i q«;aa�t ; 7 It p ki ��. `-#:- J ?f ' �'� _ter i •�\ tee° ��_.� �� o ox L C A G C 0 a ecci .
