Kent City Council Minutes March 6, 2007
January 16, 2007, Kent City Council authorized an additional $959,000.00 to continue design
development and work with M.A. Mortensen Construction to determine a detailed cost estimate of '
construction, based on schematic designs from LMN/PBK Architects.
CAO Hodgson gave an overview of what was presented at workshop.
Mamie Heffron, Heffron Transportation, gave a brief overview of the parking and traffic and how
it is being mitigated. '
Granger Stuck, MA Mortensen Construction, outlined development of the budget with architects
and Thunderbirds. He said that$42,150,000 will not increase from now to October 2008, when we
"drop the puck" for the project.
Brad Tong, SOJ Project Managers, gave an overview of the costs break down which included '
direct and indirect construction costs for a projected budget of about$67 million.
Bob Nachlmger, Finance Director, gave an overview of the bonding capacity, revenues, economic '
benefits, and Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds
Nachlmger answered Clark and O'Brien's question that this project will basically come from ,
Limited Tax Obligation Bonds and revenue from facility rental He stated that for transportation
projects the gasoline tax fund is used, City Council allocates 25% of sales tax money to Capital,
there is a real estate excise tax, a portion of the City's utility taxes go to Capital and these are the
revenue screens for those non-revenue producing transportation projects and that LTGO bonds
have also been used for sewer projects which are revenue supported. Nachlmger answered
Harmon's question about the Washington Avenue Fire Station which is an additional building
being added to existing fire stations and is not jeopardizing public safety by not being built
Nachlmger responded to Albertson's question that approximately one quarter of one percent on ,
the interest is $3 million plus on the financing.
Hodgson stated Council is being asked to allocate additional funds to keep going with the process
to continue design work with Mortensen who would be working with LMN and PBK Architects to
start construction documents He also stated materials would be ordered and by May Ist would let
the steel foundry know whether or not to proceed. Hodgson stated a national firm with roots in
Kent, would provide a substantial amount of money, some up front and another set of funds over
the next 20 years for the right to name the building after them. He also noted that this project
would be difficult to achieve without legislative support Hodgson stated that there are two paths
one is direct capital appropriation and the other called Public Facility District, there are only 22
around the state, they fund event centers, convention centers and also fund Qwest Field and Safeco ,
Field. He also stated that state legislation limits any more PFD's in King County. Hodgson said
tonight Council will be asked for more funding to keep this project going and if funding becomes
available materials will be ordered, materials will be purchased and construction will start later
this spring or early summer
Mike Miller, Chair of the Event Center Citizens Advisory Committee, stated the committee has ,
been working since June 2006, visited several event center sites, participated in the interviews of
the two major contractors, gone to Olympia and testified before the House and Senate, had
4 '
' Kent City Council Minutes March 6, 2007
discussions with the City's Lobbyist, and most importantly received input from citizens here in
Kent He said that by downsizing the number of seats from 6500 to 6025 and 160,000 square feet
down to 150,000 square feet has saved $3 million which helped make this project work Miller
stated that the Committee voted unanimously in support of this project and going forward.
Ranniger read a letter from Puget Sound Sports and Entertainment LLC in support of the Center.
She read that they are currently seeking home venues for the 2008-2009 basketball and football
' seasons. She read that they know how important it is for the long-term success of a new facility to
book regular tenants, and how critical it is for minor league sports teams to have proper venues.
Ranniger read that they would like to enter into long-term lease discussions at the appropriate
time
Hodgson answered O'Brien's question that the City has every intention of interviewing and
getting professional operators to run the Events Center Hodgson answered Raplee's question
about voting for the Events Center. He stated that usually we're asking citizens to raise their taxes
and in this particular case, given support from the state. funding can be derived with revenues
from the facility. O'Brien commented on the November election and putting the issue on the
ballot at that time. Mayor Cooke noted that issues related to the Supplemental EIS should be

OTHER BUSINESS
B. Abstain from Voting. (CFN-198) Brubaker stated that council members are elected to vote
but cannot be required to vote, if a council member abstains that vote is not counted either for or
' against the motion that is under consideration and would be recorded by the clerk as an abstention.
C. Clarification of"Long-Term General Obligation Bonds. (CFN-198) Finance Director
Nachlinger stated that the Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds that the City issues are backed
by the full faith and credit of the City and are referred to as limited tax because all the general
revenues of the City are pledged for repayment of these bonds except for property taxes. He also
stated if revenue bonds were issued it wouldn't be as secure a pledge as the LTGO pledge and
consequently the interest rate would be significantly less. Nachlinger noted that when these
' bond's are actually issued and approved by ordinance there is a section that must give the descrip-
tion of the project. He stated that if there are funds left over they can be used for two purposes

project.

equestrian emphasis in Lewis County but limits funding to facilities less than 10,000 seats He
also stated that this bill would allow a public facility district funding mechanism in the next few
years and that timing would be complicated. ,

2. SUMMARY STATEMENT: Authorize the Mayor to approve the expenditure of
funds from the 2006 REET 1 surplus to cover the cost of completing the Centennial
Garage Seismic Project.
Work on this project began in 2005. During construction it was discovered that
corrections were needed in the project design from the Consultant Engineer These
corrections to the original scope of the project resulted in additional costs of materials,
labor and time. A negotiated settlement was reached between the City, Contractor
and Engineer. In the agreement negotiated by the City Attorney, the Engineer was
responsible for delay charges, and the City was responsible for additional materials and
labor needed to complete the project These additional costs makeup the $178,799.33
requested from excess REET1 funds.

RE: Centennial Garage Seismic Project Overruns
The project bid opening was on September 9, 2004 at the time we had received
drawings and specifications from the Engineer of Record, Darrell Staaleson of
Staaleson Engineering Unknown to me, until after the bid opening, the engineer had
learned that his model for the design was not working and that he was working on trying
to figure it out At the time he assured me that he would be working on resolving the
problem and would have the solution by the time the contractor needed them This did
not occur because the software program he was using was in the midst of updating their
software, but the software manufacturer assured him that the updated version would
solve his problem They kept telling him that their update would be released next week
This went on for several months when I finally told him that he needed to go to a
different software company, which he did, and then it was a matter of him becoming
familiar enough with the new software to be able to provide a solution At any rate the
Contractor did all of the prep work and got everything ready to go, but the engineer did
not yet have a solution Finally the contractor was forced to pull off the job The
engineer continued to work on his solution and was finally able to design a workable
solution by Fall of 2005, however his solution involved doubling the number of dampers
He began to work with the Contractor again in September of 2005 At that time the
contractor hit the City with a bill for$65,000 plus for delay fees plus $122,000 for
additional costs due to the engineers new solution which required twice the dampers.
At that time Staaleson was informed that he would have to pick up some of the
additional costs He then had his attorney contact our City Attorney and we decided the
best thing would be to meet with the Contractor At that meeting we all agreed that
Staaleson would pick up certain costs and that the City would pick any additional costs

that we would have paid had the engineer had the correct solution in the original bid
documents. This was on November 22, 2005.
The Contractor came back on the job and I began to notice that there seemed to be
some sort of disgruntlement between the Engineer and the Contractor When January
of 2006 rolled around we still had not resolved this contract dispute issue. The
Contractor informed me that they were at a stalemate and that there would be yet
additional delay charges. I met with the City Attorney, and we determined that we
needed to bring the parties back together to resolve the issues
We all met in February 2006, and in the end it appeared that the Engineer was stalling
because he felt that he was due additional compensation because he was having to
spend unanticipated time in the field to get this project to come together The parties
and their attorney's met and negotiated a settlement of $50,000.00 for the delay
charges to be paid by the Engineer and that the City would pay the Contractor for the
extra work that was required to complete the project This amounted to the costs of
additional dampers, the cost of additional steel that was now required, the time for
drilling additional holes, and the extra time for extra work required to line up the bolt
holes (Bolt holes in the steel plates had to match clear areas in the existing concrete to
avoid damaging the post tension slab floors and all of the rebar in the columns ) I
When the contractor bid the job they assumed that all the bolt patterns would be close
to the same on all damper assemblies. This was not the case, however, due to the
rebar in the columns and the cables in the post tension floors where each damper
attached to the garage required a different template pushing labor costs up significantly.
The total of these additional costs was $272,470 07 There were also additional costs
for special inspections to ensure that the contractor was installing things properly and
that the Contractor was meeting all of the engineers specifications Below is a
breakdown of costs. Please note that the for the most part these costs would have
been close to the same had the Engineer gotten the job correct prior to the bid Below
is breakdown of actual costs.
Engineering Fees $ 58,406.96
Engineer Reimb(Late Fees) (50,000.00)
Contractor Fees 623,785 23

2. SUMMARY STATEMENT: Authorize the Mayor to approve the expenditure of
funds from the 2006 REET2 surplus to cover the cost of completing the Senior Center
Greenhouse.
At the time of the bid opening for this project, only one bid was received. Though the
bid was higher than the Engineer's estimate it was decided at that time to award the
bid. As with construction projects of this scale, issues are often discovered during
remodeling construction In the case of this project, incorrect as-buwlts and other
unforeseen issues resulted in three change orders. As a result, the requested funds are
needed to close out the Senior Center Greenhouse project.

Memorandum

TO: Bob Nachlinger
FROM Charlie Lindsey, Superintendent of Facilities
VIA: Jeff Watling, Director Parks, Recreation and Community Services
RE: Senior Center Greenhouse Renovation and Audio/Visual System Upgrade
in preparation for the 2005 Budget year I hired an Architect to meet with the Senior Center staff to discuss
what they wanted to do with the old greenhouse space at the Senior Center that was being under utilized
Based on that meeting we developed a budget of$262,000 When we began the project we did requests
for qualifications for Architects that had experience with recreation facilities We selected ORB Architects
and they began to work with Senior Center staff to design the renovation Upon completion of the design
they estimated that the cost of the project was going to be in the neighborhood of$328,000 1 asked and
received verbal permission to continue with the project We then bid the project and the only bid received
was from Flagg Construction in the amount of 3423,456 Even though this was way over our budget the
decision was made that we should continue with the protect and we asked the City Council to aware the
bid for construction
During construction we learned that the plans that we thought were the as-builts were not correct and a
major structural beam was in a different location than that which showed on the bid plans Thus we
incurred a change order for$19,003.32 Change order number 2 came about because that same
structural beam required a change in the way the beam to support the operable wall was constructed the
cost was an additional $5,986 Change order 3 came about because the building inspector required
much more door hardware than was shown in the original approved drawings this resulted in a net cost
after the Architect reimbursed for the original hardware of$5,954 This brought the total construction
costs to$454,399 32 plus sales tax of$39,987 14 for a total of$494,386 46 There was also a change
orders for the design work as it required additional design work for the Architect and Mechanical
Engineers This increased cost made the total cost of the design work$80,353 25
Additional costs for permits, printing, and advertising,were$14,254 66 We also installed a new
audio/visual system that cost including design fees $63,660 43
The total budget for this project was $479,554 and total expenditures were $652,654.80 for an overrun of
$173,100.80
This is a request to use 2006 excess REET funds to cover this cost overrun

Background/History:
The Public Works Committee directed Public Works staff to conduct a traffic engineering study to
determine the appropriate speed limit for 114th Avenue SE, between Kent-Kangley Road (SR 516)
and SE 269th Street and between SE 269th Street and SE 271" Street, partially in response to a
petition from a residential neighborhood to install speed bumps on SE 2715t Street and 114th Ave
SE. The current speed limits are 35 mph southbound for the Kent-Kangley to SE 269th Street
segment and 25 mph for the SE 269th Street to SE 2715t Street segment.
Summary:
Transportation Engineering staff conducted speed studies on 114th Avenue SE at the two segment
locations on three different occasions. The results of the speed studies are summarized in Exhibit A,
and showed the 85th percentile speed for 114th Avenue between Kent-Kangley Road and SE 269th
Street to vary between 35.9 mph and 36.3 mph.
Recommendations:
Based on the engineering and traffic investigation and professional engineering standards for
establishing speed limits, Public Works staff recommends establishing a speed limit of 35 mph in
both directions on the segment of 114th Avenue SE between Kent-Kangley Road and SE 269th
Street, in accordance with RCW 46.61.415.

The Hearing Examiner enters the following Findings and Conclusions based upon the
testimony and exhibits admitted at the open record hearing:
FINDINGS
1. Todd Sherman (Applicant) requested a zoning map amendment to rezone 3
acres of land from SR-4.5, Single Family Residential, to SR-6, Single Family
Residential.' The subject property is located at 10040 SE 267th Street, in Kent,
Washington.z Exhibit 1, Attachment B.
2. The City of Kent (City) determined the rezone application and preliminary plat
application to be complete on August 16, 2006, and issued a notice of application
on August 28, 2006. On August 28, 2006, the City posted notice of the
concurrent applications, sent notice to public agencies and parties of record, and
published notice in the King CountyJournai, in compliance with City ordinances.
Exhibit 1, Attachment F.
3. The City published notice of the public hearing associated with the rezone and
preliminary plat applications in the Kent Reporter on February 10, 2007; posted
notice on the subject property; and mailed notice to all owners of property within
300 feet of the subject property. In order to accommodate the appeal period for
the Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS), the record was held
open through end-of-business February 21, 2007. Exhibit', Attachment
4 The City of Kent acted as lead agency for review of environmental impacts
caused by the proposal. The City reviewed the environmental impacts for both
' Concurrent with the rezone request, the Applicant also submitted a preliminary plat application to
subdivide the 3 acres into 13 lots, four tracts, and two roads. The preliminary plat application is
addressed in a separate decision. See Decision of Hearing Examiner, Vista Landing Preliminary Plat File
No. SU-2006-8, KIVA # RPP3-2063487.

the proposed rezone and the concurrently submitted preliminary plat
application.3 The City determined that with conditions, the rezone and
preliminary plat proposals together would not have a probable significant
adverse impact on the environment, and issued a Mitigated Determination of
Nonsignificance (MDNS) on January 24, 2007. The five conditions on the MDNS
require the Applicant to: (1) submit a Traffic Impact Study and construct the
transportation improvements called for in the study or pay an Environmental
Mitigation Fee representing the project's fair share of the City's South 272"d
Street/South 277th Street Corridor Project; (2) construct a sidewalk connecting
the subdivision with Scenic Hill Elementary, or, at the sole discretion of the
Department of Public Works pay a regional sidewalk improvement mitigation fee;
(3) utilize low-impact development techniques where deemed feasible by the
City; (4) minimize negative impacts to on-site soil and neighboring properties;
and (5) minimize grading and the need for retaining walls by following the
natural topographical contours of the property. No appeal of the MDNS was
received prior to the expiration of the appeal date, on February 21, 2007.
Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 3; Exhibit 1, Attachment G.
5. The property at issue was annexed to the City in 1994 (Ordinance No. 3171). It
was zoned SR-4.5 at that time, based on the existing residential development.
In support of the rezone request, the Applicant noted that the City performed
environmental review of the property and surrounding neighborhood in 1995 and '
1996, resulting in a Comprehensive Plan designation of SF-6, allowing
development of up to 6 dwelling units per acre. The property maintained the SF-
6 designation with the 2001 Plan review and update; the 2004 Plan review and
update; and most recently with the 2006 Plan revision. City of Kent

6. The subject parcel is currently located in the City's SR-4.5 Single Family
Residential zoning district, which permits a maximum of 4.53 dwelling units per
acre and a minimum lot size of 7,600 square feet.4 A three acre parcel of land
with the SR-4.5 zoning classification could be developed with 13 lots.5 The SR-6
3 The Washington Supreme Court endorsed this combined threshold review process when it found
impacts of a specific development proposal can be a useful yardstick to measure rezone impacts See
CitizensA/bance v. Auburn, 126 Wn.2d. 356, 365 (1995). Combined threshold review is consistent with
KCC 12.01.030(D), is a more efficient use of City, applicant and public resources, and promotes SEPA
policies. See 126 Wn.2d at 366 ("The SEPA rules underscore flexibility and gauge the level of detail
according to the proposal at issue'.
4 The maximum density and minimum lot size for the SR-4.5 zoning district is found in KCC 15.04.170.
5 The maximum density calculation for dwelling units per acre in the SR-4.5 district is 3 acres x 4.5
dwelling units/acre = 13.5 dwelling units.

zoning district would permit a maximum density of 6.05 dwelling units/acre on a
3.0 parcel, with a minimum lot size of 5,700 square feet, allowing for
development of up to 18 lots on a three acre parcel.6 KCC 15.04.170; Exhibit 1,
Attachment A, Staff Report, page 2.
7. The Applicant stated that the intent of the rezone request is not to increase
density, but to allow development at the density level currently provided for by
providing flexibility in the minimum lot size. At the open record hearing held
February 21, 2007, Eric LeBrie testified on behalf of the Applicant that the need
for a Level 2 stormwater drainage facility, the lack of direct access onto SE 267th
Street, and other topographical constraints prevented the property from being
developed with 13 lots that comply with the SR-4.5 minimum lot size
requirements. Sharon Clamp, City Planner, testified that perhaps nine or ten lots
could be developed In compliance with the SR-4.5 minimum lot size
requirements. Mr. LeBrie testified that possibly up to li lots could be developed.
He testified that if the rezone were approved, no more than 13 lots would be
developed. He indicated that the Applicant would accept a condition on the
preliminary plat application restricting development to a maximum of 13 lots.

Ms. Clamp.
8. The City is constructing a sewer lift station at 104th Avenue SE and SE 267th
Street, which would provide sewer service to the proposed subdivision. The
Applicant stated that the City based the size of the sewer lift station on an
assumption that the neighborhood would be built to the maximum density
currently allowed, including an assumption that the subject property would be
developed with 13 lots. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 11; Exhibit 8.
j9. The Comprehensive Plan describes the Land Use Element as having "the central
role of defining the direction of the Comprehensive Plan, and thereby defining
the vision of the community." City Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Element, page
4-2. The Land Use Element includes the Land Use Map, which designates the
subject property as SF-6. In addition, the Land Use Element contains goals and
policies requiring a minimum density of four units per acre, encouraging
flexibility in housing and site designs, promoting home ownership with smaller
houses and lot sizes, and reducing urban sprawl by locating homes near
services.7 Housing Element goals and policies relevant to the rezone request
a The maximum density and minimum lot size for the SR-6 zoning district is found in KCC 15.04.170. The
maximum density calculation for dwelling units per acre in the SR-6 district is 3 acres x 6.05 dwelling

include the promotion of home ownership by revising zoning codes to increase
the supply of affordable housing options such as small lot sizes.$ Exhibit 1,
Attachment A, Staff Report, pages 5— 9; Exhibit 1, Attachment B.
10. The property is accessed from SE 267th Street. The rezone request itself would
not generate increased traffic on SE 267th Street and in the surrounding
neighborhood. However, the proposed development allowed by the rezone
would generate 12 new PM peak hour trips. The Applicant would address traffic
impacts through the construction of street improvements and the payment of
traffic mitigation fees, as required by the MDNS and proposed preliminary plat
conditions of approval. Mr. LeBrie testified that the Applicant would construct
sidewalks to connect the property with Scenic Hill Elementary. Exhibit 1,
Attachment A, Staff Report, pages 2 and 10; Exhibit 1, Attachment G, MDNS.
11. The property is generally hilly, with slopes of up to 15 percent. There are
deciduous and evergreen trees located on the property. The buffer of an off-site
Type 2 stream, Mill Creek, extends onto the northeastern corner of the property.
With the associated preliminary plat application, the Applicant proposes setting
aside the stream buffer as a sensitive area. Exhibit 1, Attachment A, Staff
Report, page 3; Exhibit 1, Attachment 1..
12. The City received several public comment letters regarding the rezone request.
Denise and Brett Simpson expressed concern that the proposed rezone would
not fit with the existing neighborhood in a letter dated February 9, 2007, and an
email dated November 22, 2006. Kevin Tucker stated that the current zoning is
proper and adequate for the neighborhood, which he described as established,
with single family homes on average or above average lots, in his letter dated
September 11, 2006. In their letter, received by the City on September 11,
2006, Roger and Wendy Hurst stated that the proposed lot sizes would not fit
the established neighborhood. Sally Mendel sent an email to Ms. Clamp on
February 14, 2007, expressing concern that the proposed rezone would interfere
with the privacy enjoyed by current residents. The letter writers also expressed
concern that development resulting from the rezone would lead to increased

13. Roger Hurst testified at the open record hearing that the proposed development
and rezone would not be compatible with the 10,000 square foot lot sizes
featured in the existing neighborhood. Denise Simpson testified that she is not
opposed to development, but is opposed to the increased density that would be
allowed with a rezone. Testimony of Mr. Hurst; Testimony of Ms. Simpson.
14. Ms. Clamp testified that a key concern with previous rezone requests has been a
perceived incompatibility with existing neighborhoods. She testified that in this
case, she believed that the proposed development that would be allowed with a
rezone request would be compatible with the existing neighborhood. She
recognized that properties to the south and west were developed with larger
lots, but noted that the proposed development would not exceed the currently
allowed density. Mr. LeBrie testified that the proposed development would be
1 compatible, as it would be single family residential development in a residential
neighborhood. The Applicant submitted an aerial photo with a zoning district
overlay, depicting properties to the west and east which are zoned SR-6, and SR-
8, in addition to multi-family, commercial, and office zoning districts in the
surrounding neighborhoods. The Applicant stated that commercial development
approximately one mile to the north of the property includes Target, Home
Depot, and Top Foods, among others. Exhibit 1, Staff Report, page 10; Exhibit
1, Attachment B; Exhibit 7; Testimony of Ms. Clamp; Testimony of Mr. LeBrie.
CONCLUSIONS
Jurisdiction
The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to hold an open record hearing on quasi-judicial
actions, including this rezone, and to issue a written recommendation for final action to
the City Council, pursuant to RCW 35A.63.170 and Kent City Code Chapters 2.32, 12.01
and 15.09.
Criteria for Review
1 Section 15.09.050.0 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:
1. The proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan;
Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation
City of Kent Hearing Examiner
Vista Landing Rezone
#RZ-2006-9, KIVA #RPP4 2063517
Page 7 of 10
2. The proposed rezone and subsequent development of the site
would be compatible with development in the vicinity;
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;
4. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment j
of the current zoning district to warrant the proposed rezone; and
5. 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
subject property is designated SF-6 by the Comprehensive Plan, allowing for
development of up to six dwelling units per acre. The proposed rezone would
bring the property into alignment with the Comprehensive Plan designation.
Development on the subject parcel supported by the proposed rezone would not
exceed a density of six units per acre. Properties in the vicinity of the subject
parcel are also designated SF-6 under the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed
rezone would support development of single family residences within the City
limits near existing streets and services at a density of at least four units per net '
developable acre, consistent with Comprehensive Plan Land Use goals and
policies. The smaller lot sizes made possible by the rezone would support a
variety of housing styles, consistent with Housing Element goals and policies. ■
Development of the property would include improvements to area streets, j
consistent with Transportation Element goals. The Comprehensive Plan
contemplates the revision of zoning districts to ensure adequate housing options.
Findings S and 9.
2. The proposed rezone and subsequent development would be
compatible with the existing neighborhood. Although featuring smaller lot
sizes, subsequent development would be single family residential, in a single
family residential neighborhood. There are SR-6, SR-$, and multifamily zoning
districts in the vicinity of the subject property, in addition to commercial
development. Eric LeBrie testified on behalf of the Applicant that subsequent
development would not increase density beyond what is currently allowed, and
that the purpose of the rezone request is only to provide flexibility in the lot size
requirements. A condition of approval on the subdivision request accompanying
Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation

the proposed rezone would ensure that no more than 13 lots are developed, so
that actual density is not increased above what is currently allowed. Findings 1,
6, 7, 12, 13, and 14.
3. The proposed rezone would not unduly burden the transportation
system. The proposed rezone itself would not generate increased traffic. The
Applicant would address traffic impacts resulting from the proposed subdivision
associated with the rezone, by constructing street improvements on SE 267ch
Street and off-site pedestrian walkways to connect the proposed subdivision with
Scenic Hill Elementary. Findings 4 and 10.
4. Circumstances have changed substantially to warrant the proposed
rezone. Washington state courts have held that proof of changed
circumstances are not required for a rezone if the proposed rezone and
associated development implement policies contained in the comprehensive plan.
Bjarnson v. Kitsap County, 78 Wn.App. 840 (Div. I, 1995); Henderson v. Kittitas
County, 124 Wn. App. 747 (Div. III, 2004). Here, property has been classified as
SF-6 by the City Comprehensive Plan since 1995, a designation which has been
upheld through multiple Comprehensive Plan updates and revisions. The rezone
request and associated plat development would implement City Comprehensive
Plan goals and policies to promote home ownership and reduce urban sprawl
through flexibility in housing and site design. The rezone would bring the
property into line with the SF-6 Comprehensive Plan classification. The City is
constructing a sewer lift station at 104th Avenue SE and SE 267th Street, which
would provide sewer service to the proposed subdivision. Findings 1, 5, 8, and
9.
5. The proposed rezone would not adversely affect public health, safety
and general welfare. The City provided adequate public notice of the rezone
application and associated public hearing. The rezone would not have a
probable, significant, adverse impact on the environment. Approval of the
proposed rezone would allow development of the property at the current density.
Future development would be conditioned to address impacts on the surrounding
neighborhood and streets. Findings 2 — 4, 6, 7, 10 — 14.
RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the preceding Findings and Conclusions, the Hearing Examiner
recommends that the application for a rezone of King County Tax Parcel Number
292205-9211 from SR-4.5 to SR-6 be GRANTED, provided that a condition is attached

I. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Description of the Proposal
The applicant proposes to subdivide a three acre parcel into 13 single family
residential lots, one stormwater tract, one sensitive area tract, one private
access tract, and one public subdivision road tract. The single family residence
and residential outbuildings will be removed. A portion of the 100-foot buffer
from an offsite Type 2 stream extends onto the northeast corner of the site. In

#SU-2006-8 K1VA#RPP3-2063487
addition, the applicant is seeking a rezone of the property from SR-4.5, single
family residential, to SR-6, single family residential.
The subdivision will take access from SE 267th Street via a new public residential '
street. This new street includes curbs, gutters, sidewalks, landscaping and
streetlights. Roadway improvements to include curbs, gutters, sidewalks,
landscaping and streetlights will also be made along the property frontage of
SE 267th Street.
In conjunction with the request for preliminary subdivision approval, the
applicant proposes to rezone the site from the current zoning of SR-4.5, Single
Family Residential to SR-6, Single Family Residential. The proposed subdivision
has been configured to meet the standards of the SR-6 zoning district. '
B. Location
The subject site is located at 10040 SE 267th Street and is identified by King
County tax parcel number 2922059211.
C. Size of Property
The subject site is three acres in size.
D. Zoning
The site is currently zoned SR-4.5, Single Family Residential.
Adjacent properties in all directions are zoned SR-4.5.
E. Land Use
The City of Kent Comprehensive Land Use Map designates the site as SF-6
Single Family Residential, 6 Units per acre. The surrounding area is also
designated as SF-6.
Single family residences on platted lots abut the site to the south. Single family
residences on large lots with future development potential abut the site to the
east and west. Mill Creek Canyon Park abuts the site to the north.
F. History
The subject property was annexed to the City of Kent in June, 1994 as part of
the 594 acre Ramstead annexation (Ordinance No. 3171). The zoning
designation of SR-4.5 was established upon annexation.

A tentative subdivision meeting was held on April 26, 2006 where City staff and
the applicant discussed likely conditions of approval associated with this project.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
A. Environmental Assessment
iThe applicant's SEPA application requested both non-project (rezone) and
project-specific (subdivision) analysis. A Mitigated Determination of
Nonsignificance (#ENV-2006-54) for the non-project rezone as well as a
project-specific 13 lot subdivision was issued on January 24, 2007. No
conditions were proposed for the rezone portion of the SEPA application. A copy
of this MDNS is part of the record for this plat and rezone application. No
appeals to this decision have been filed as of the date of this staff analysis. The
appeal period will expire on February 21, 2007.
iThe proposed project portion of the checklist contemplates a 13-lot subdivision.
Environmental impacts associated with the proposed subdivision 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
The site is described as hilly with slopes of up to 15 percent. Upper Mill Creek is
located off-site to the northeast of the subject parcel. A portion of Mill Creek's
100-foot buffer extends onto the project site. The stream buffer shall be
protected in accordance with Kent City Code Section 11.06, including recording
a sensitive area easement or deeding the property to the City for preservation
of stream function and values. A copy of the wetland and stream analysis
report is located in the Public Works Department, Engineering Division, in
Wetland File No. 06-27. No impacts to the stream or its buffer are proposed as
a result of this development.
Deciduous and evergreen trees have been identified on the subject site and are
scattered around the site in a manner that will likely require tree removal to
allow for future roadway and home development. The applicant will submit a
survey of significant on-site trees and, as part of civil construction plan review,
be required to submit and receive approval of a detailed tree plan that shows
trees to be retained.

C. Significant Social Features
1. Street System
The proposed development project is located on the East Hill of the City
and is proposed to take its only access from SE 267th Street. This street
is classified as a Residential Collector Arterial Street with Bike Lanes
within the City's Comprehensive Plan. This street is not fully constructed
to current street standards. This street has an existing public right-of-
way width of about 60 feet, while the asphalt street width is currently
about 20 feet wide. The existing street provides for two narrow lanes of
traffic and does not include the following street improvement features:
cement concrete curbs and gutters; stormwater drainage system;
cement concrete sidewalks; or a street lighting system.
The existing asphalt pavement section of the street is inadequate to
provide an expected 20-year service life and is in need of an asphalt
overlay/rebuild in order to maintain an acceptable level of service while
accommodating the increased volume of trips being generated by this
proposal.
This development is within an area that is characterized by streets with ,
narrow traffic lanes and narrow or no shoulders, and has been identified
as having substandard pedestrian facilities. This development will require
off-site sidewalks/walkways to provide safe travel for school-age
pedestrians to and from the closest school bus stop for Scenic Hill
Elementary School.
As stated in the SEPA decision document, this development will cause
significant and/or additional congestion at the intersections of SE 267th
Street at 104th Avenue SE, 104th Avenue SE at SE 272nd Street, SE 272nd
Street at 108th Avenue SE, and 108th Avenue SE at SE 274th Way.
2. Water System
All homes within the proposed plat will be connected to the public water
system provided by the City of Kent.
3. Sanitary Sewer System
All homes within the proposed plat will be connected to the public
sanitary sewer system provided by the City of Kent.

#SU-2006-8 KIVA#RPP3-2063487
4. Stormwater System
A stormwater system will be necessary to accommodate any subsequent
development. The developer will be required to complete a drainage
analysis then develop and submit drainage plans prepared in accordance
with the 2002 City of Kent surface Water Design Manual and the 1998
IKing County Surface Water Design Manual.
III. CONSULTED DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
The following departments and agencies were advised of these applications:
Economic Development Manager Police Department
Public Works Department Fire Department
Parks & Recreation Director City Clerk
City Attorney Kent School District
U.S. Post Master Washington State Department of Ecology
King Co. Wastewater Treatment Puget Sound Energy
King Co. Environmental Health Qwest
King Co. Transit Division Washington State Dept. of Transportation
In addition to the above, all persons owning property located within 300 feet of the site
were notified of the public hearing Written public comments were received from
Carl A. Hutchinson residing at 845 Reiten Road, Kevin Tucker residing at 10114 SE
268th Street, Roger and Wendy Hurst residing at 26705 102"d Ave SE, and Denise and
Brett Simpson residing at 10005 SE 267T" Street. To summarize, the comments
concerned higher density; smaller lot sizes and the effect on existing home values; box-
like, cookie cutter style houses; traffic impacts and traffic safety; sidewalks/safe
walking conditions; impacts of development on schools; tree preservation, and adverse
effects on the environment.
Generally, these comments are addressed in the staff analysis of this report through
existing development codes and ordinances adopted by the City of Kent that are
applied to this proposal through the subdivision process. City ordinances and
development regulations which apply to road and street frontage improvements, school
and traffic mitigation fees, stormwater management, water and sewer availability, and
the preservation and protection of sensitive areas are in place to protect the general
welfare of the community.
IV. PLANNING SERVICES REVIEW
A. Comprehensive Plan
The City of Kent has adopted a revised Comprehensive Plan pursuant to the
Growth Management Act (Ordinance #3698 — July 2004). The goals and
Page 5 of 29
Staff Report
Vista Landing Rezone and Subdivision
#RZ-2006-9 KIVA#RPP4-2063517
#SU-2006-8 KIVA#RPP3-2063487
policies of the Comprehensive Plan represent an expression of community
intentions and aspirations concerning the future of Kent and the area within the
potential annexation area. The Comprehensive Plan is used by the Mayor, City
Council, Land Use and Planning Board, Hearing Examiner and City departments ,
to guide decision-making relative to development and capital facility spending.
The City of Kent Comprehensive Plan is comprised of eleven elements which '
contain written goals and policies as well as a land use map. The proposed
subdivision and rezone supports the following goals and policies of the Plan:
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-6, Single Family Residential which allows six units per
acre. In addition to the Land Use Plan Map, 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.
Goal LU-1: Designate a Potential Annexation Area which will define
the City's planning area and projected city limits for the
next 20 years.
Policy LU-1.1: Provide enough land in the City's Potential Annexation
Area to accommodate the level of household growth
projected to occur in the next 20 years.
Policy LU-9.1: Where appropriate, establish urban residential densities of
at least four (4) units per net developable acre in order to
adequately support urban densities.
Policy LU-9.4: Locate housing opportunities with a variety of densities
within close proximity to employment, shopping, transit,
and where possible, near human and community services.
Goal LU-10: Provide opportunities for a variety of housing types,
options, and densities throughout the City and the
Potential Annexation Area to meet needs of the region's
changing demographics.
Policy LU-10.4: Allow single family housing on a variety of lot sizes.
Locate smaller lot sizes within close proximity of the
Urban Center or Activity Centers wherever possible.

Planning Services Comment:
The proposed subdivision is supported by relevant goals and policies contained
within the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The development
proposed through this subdivision request seeks to establish residential lots at
an overall net density of approximately 4.3 units per acre, which is sufficient to
support urban services and infrastructure. The proposed location is easily served
by existing urban services and is in convenient proximity to commercial areas
along 1041" Avenue SE. The land use plan supports the development of close-in
vacant or underdeveloped properties, which limits further urban sprawl on the
edges of the planning area. Also, one of the objectives of the comprehensive
plan is to provide a wide variety of housing types and opportunities to
L accommodate projected population growth without converting single family
lands to multifamily residential. A subdivision on underdeveloped, single family
zoned land is consistent with this objective.
HOUSING ELEMENT
The primary goal of the housing element is to meet the current and future need
for housing in the Kent area The ability to obtain affordable housing is
essential to a stable, healthy, and thriving community.
IGoal H-2: Promote the organization and enhancement of
neighborhoods and provide the opportunity for
comfortable and well-maintained housing for all citizens.
Policy H-2.3: Provide an appropriate mix of housing styles and choices,
allowing for different types of housing from neighborhood
to neighborhood.
Policy H-2.5: Require developments to provide their fair share of on-
site and off-site improvements needed as a result of the
development.
Goal H-5: Increase housing opportunities through a diversity of
housing types and the innovative use of residential and
tcommercial land.
■ Policy H-5.1: Expand the range of affordable housing choice available
to meet the needs of both current Kent residents and
residents projected in growth estimates.
Policy H-5.2: Provide a sufficient amount of land zoned for current and
projected residential needs including, but not limited to,

assisted housing, housing for low income households,
single family housing, and small lot sizes.
Policy H-5.3: Promote diversity of housing types affordable to a range '
of income levels and cultural/ethnic diversity.
Goal H-7: Encourage flexibility and innovative site and budding ,
design for a variety of housing developments to expand
home ownership.

The proposed subdivision is supported by relevant goals and policies contained
within the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The overall density for
the project as mentioned above is proposed at an acceptable level to support
urban services, and supports projected population growth and the changing
demographics of the City. Appropriate services, including, but not limited to,
fire, police, medical services, neighborhood shopping and child care are easily
accessible to neighborhood residents upon development of the subject property.
TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT:
Goal TR-1: Coordinate land use and transportation planning to meet the
needs of the City and the requirements of the Growth
Management Act.
Policy TR-1.2: Coordinate new commercial and residential development in
Kent with transportation projects to assure that
transportation facility capacity is sufficient to accommodate
the new development, or a financial commitment is in place
to meet the adopted standard within six years, before
allowing it to proceed.
Planning Services Comment:
The Growth Management Act requires consistency between land use and ,
transportation planning. As noted, the Land Use Plan identifies the area of this
proposal as SF-6 Single Family Residential. The Public Works Department has
identified improvements to the local transportation network necessary to
accommodate the proposed higher density. These improvements will be
required through the conditions of approval proposed for this subdivision. Also,
through the SEPA process, the proposed subdivision has been conditioned to
pay an environmental mitigation fee (EMF) to participate in, and pay a fair share
of, the estimated construction costs of the City's South 272"d/South 277th Street

Corridor Project. The EMF is based on 12 new PM peak hour traffic trips which
will be generated by the proposed development.
The proposed rezoning of the property from SR-4.5 to SR-6 is also consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan map designation of SF-6.
B. Zoning Code
1. Feasibility of Development
If the proposed rezone from SR-4.5 to SR-6 Single Family Residential is
approved, development on all lots in the proposed subdivision will be
subject to Zoning Code requirements in the SR-6, Single Family
Residential zoning district. All proposed lots within the subdivision meet
the minimum lot size and width requirements for the SR-6, Single Family
Residential district.
Numerous significant trees are located on the site. Zoning regulations
encourage the retention of significant trees where roads, utilities, and
site improvements are not proposed. Tree retention plans will be
required for the plat and development of each lot where trees are
located (per KCC Section 15.08.240).
2. 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.
a. The proposed rezone is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
Plannino Services Comment
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan Map designates the subject
property as SF-6, Single Family Residential which allows up to six units
per acre. A rezone of the site from SR-4.5 Single Family Residential to
SR-6 Single Family Residential will allow residential development up to
6.05 units per acre, which is consistent with the Kent Comprehensive
Plan. As previously discussed, the proposed rezone is also consistent
with the applicable goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

b. The proposed rezone and subsequent development of the
site would be compatible with development in the
vicinity.
Planning Services Comment ,
The proposed rezone and subsequent single family residential
development of the site will be compatible and integrate well with the
existing development in the vicinity because uses in the area are
predominantly detached single family residential with some multi-family
and commercial developments in close proximity to the subject site. This
subdivision proposes to create 13 residential lots at a gross density of
4.33 units per acre. The applicant points out in application submittal
documents that the maximum gross density allowed in the current zone,
SR-4.5, is 4.53 du/ac; therefore, the rezone does not increase overall
density, but merely allows Flexibility in the minimum lot area required in
order to achieve the maximum density of the SR-4.5 zoning district. This
density of residential development is sufficient to support existing local
urban services.
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.
Planning Services Comment
A rezone of this property to SR-6 Single Family Residential will not
generate additional trips onto the existing transportation system.
However, subsequent development of a proposed 13-lot subdivision will
add a net 12 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 subdivision
conditions of approval. These improvements include curb, gutter,
sidewalks, planting strips, street lighting, paving, and public stormwater
conveyance for both the property frontage along SE 267`h Street and the
new public internal subdivision road. The applicant will be also be
required to participate in other City transportation improvement projects
by providing an environmental mitigation fee for the impacts created by
development.
d. 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 in June 1994 as part
1 of the 594 acre Ramstead annexation (Ord. 3171) and is developed with
one single family residence.
In 2004 the City of Kent updated its Comprehensive Plan which
designates this area as SF-6 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. This proposal, which seeks to establish 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.
Upon annexation in 1994, zoning for the area was set at SR-4.5 which
was consistent with the existing single family land use patterns in this
particular location. Annexation records on file in Kent's Planning Services
office indicate that prior to annexation, for purposes of King County
planning, this area was within the County's Soos Creek Community
Planning area. The Soos Creek Community Plan was last updated in
1991. At the time of annexation, zoning under King County was GR-2,
Growth Reserve Phase Two. Under the Soos Creek Community Plan,
Growth Reserve Phase Two properties were to remain at a low density
until annexed to a city or a King County plan amendment would apply an
urban density. Phase Two properties would have been eligible for a
rezone in 1995 with anticipated lot sizes of 7200 square feet, which
equates to a density of 6.05 du/ac.
Since annexation in 1994 improvements to roadway infrastructure
serving this area have been completed including a major intersection
upgrade at SE 256th Street and 1041h Avenue SE and the completion of
the SE 272/2771h Street Corridor. Also, sewer infrastructure
improvements are currently under construction in the form of a sewer lift
station located at 104th Avenue SE and SE 2671h Street which will provide
Ipublic sanitary sewer service to this site.
e. 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 is required 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.
C. Standards for Granting a Subdivision
The purpose of the City of Kent Subdivision Code is to provide rules,
regulations, requirements, standards and procedures for subdividing land in the
City of Kent, ensuring that the highest feasible quality in subdivisions will be
attained; that the public health, safety, general welfare, and aesthetics of the
City of Kent shall be promoted and protected; that orderly growth,
development, and the conservation, protection and proper use of land shall be
promoted; that proper provisions for all public facilities, including connectivity,
circulation, utilities, and services shall be made; that maximum advantage of
site characteristics shall be taken into consideration; and that the process shall
be in conformance with provisions set forth in the City of Kent Zoning Code and
Kent Comprehensive Plan (KCC 12.04.015).
The procedures regulating subdivisions are established to ensure quality 1
development which promotes orderly and efficient growth, the conservation and
proper use of land; protects the public health, safety, general welfare, and
aesthetics of the city; makes adequate provisions for public facilities in
conformance with provisions set forth in KCC Title 15, Zoning, and the Kent
Comprehensive Plan; and complies with the provisions of this chapter and
Chapter 58.17 RCW (KCC 12.04.600).
No subdivision shall be approved unless the following principles of acceptability
are met; the subdivision shall:
1. Create legal building sites which comply with all provisions of KCC Title
15, Zoning, and health regulations;
2. Establish access to a public road for each segregated parcel;
3. Have suitable physical characteristics; a proposed plat may be denied
because of flood, inundation or wetland conditions; slope, soil stability
and/or capabilities; or the construction of protective improvements may
be required as a condition of approval;

rStaff Report
Vista Landing Rezone and Subdivision
#RZ-2006-9 KIVA#RPP4-2063517
#SU-2006-8 KIVA#RPP3-2063487
4. If adjacent to another municipality or King County, take into
consideration the subdivision standards of that jurisdiction as well as the
requirements of this chapter;
5. Make adequate provision for stormwater detention, drainageways, water
supplies, sanitary wastes, and other public utilities and services, as
1 deemed necessary;
6. Make adequate provision for the connectivity of streets, alleys, pedestrian
Iaccessways and other public ways (KCC 12 04.635).
As evidenced by the General Information in Section I. and the following
responses to the criteria for approving subdivisions, the proposal is in general
conformance with the Kent Subdivision Code.
Furthermore, Section 12.04.685 of the Kent Subdivision Code indicates that a
subdivision shall not be approved unless the City finds that:
1 1. Appropriate provisions have been made for:
a. The public health, safety and general welfare of the community;
The proposed plat is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
designation of SF-6. The proposed density and lot dimensions are
consistent with the SR-6 zoning district, as proposed through this
application.
b. Protection of environmentally sensitive lands and habitat;
An environmental checklist was submitted and reviewed by the
City which identified environmental impacts associated with this
rezone and subdivision proposal. Other than a small portion of
the Mill Creek stream buffer located at the northeast corner of
the site, no environmentally sensitive lands or habitats were
identified on the site.
■ C. Open spaces;
1 Provisions for open space will be made through payment of a fee
in lieu of dedication of on-site open space as discussed in section
1 d. below.

#RZ-2006-9 KIVA#RPP4-2063517
#SU-2006-8 KIVA#RPP3-2063487
d. Community parks and recreation;
To mitigate the impacts of this proposal on parks and recreation,
the applicant will be required to pay a fee in lieu of dedication of
land pursuant to KCC 12.04.780. The fee in lieu of a dedication
of five percent for open space parkland is $14,100 based on 2007
tax assessment records from the King County Assessors office.
e. Neighborhood tot lots and play areas;
Provisions for these areas will be accomplished by the fee paid
under section d. above.
f. Schools and school grounds;
The subject property lies within the Kent School District.
Pursuant to KCC 12.13.160, a school impact fee will be assessed
in association with the subdivision of land. The impact fee will be
assessed and collected for each individual lot at the time of
construction permit issuance and will be based upon the adopted
impact fee at that time.
g. Drainageways;
Each individual residence will be required to provide on-site
infiltration as well as an overflow connection to an approved
conveyance system.
h. Stormwater Detention;
An on-sit public detention/retention stormwater pond system in
accordance with Kent Construction Standards will be required to
mitigate for potential impacts to both stormwater runoff quantity
and quality.
The City of Kent Public Works Department has reviewed the
incremental increase in impervious area and determined the
proposed stormwater system to be adequate.
i. Connectivity of sidewalks, pedestrian pathways, traffic calming
features and devices, and other planning features that assure
safe walking conditions within and between subdivisions for
residents and students who walk to and from schools, parks,
transit stops and other neighborhood services;
Page 14 of 29
Staff Report
Vista Landing Rezone and Subdivision
I #RZ-2006-9 KIVA#RPP4-2063517
#SU-2006-8 KIVA#RPP3-2063487
Sidewalks will be required along both sides of the new public
subdivision street and along the properly frontage on SE 267th
Street. Additionally, as a condition of the SEPA review the
applicant will be required to construct off-site walkway
improvements from the proposed development to the end of the
sidewalk system on SE 267th Street serving Scenic Hill Elementary
1 School. Or at the sole discretion of the Department of Public
Works, the applicant may instead pay a regional sidewalk
improvement mitigation fee in the amount of $1500 per gross
Iacre to the School Pedestrian Walkways Fund (fund #R20036).
j. Connectivity of streets or roads, alleys, pedestrian accessways,
and other public ways within and between subdivisions and
neighborhoods;
The new public subdivision road connecting to SE 267th Street
will be stubbed out to connect to the west as this adjacent parcel
has sufficient area for future development. Due to the slopes to
' the east, roadway connectivity was not deemed feasible.
k. Transit stops;
Mass transit service is provided by King County METRO. The
nearest park and ride facilities are located on 124th Avenue SE at
SE 256th Street and at the transit station in downtown Kent.
I. Potable water supplies;
All homes within the proposed plat will be connected to water
service provided by the City of Kent.
M. Sanitary wastes;
All homes within the proposed plat will be connected to sanitary
sewer service provided by the City of Kent.
n. Other public utilities and services, as deemed necessary:
1 Power and natural gas lines will be installed during plat
construction. Garbage service will be established by the
individual residents.
2. The city has considered all other relevant facts; and determined that the
proposed plat will be in conformance with all of the criteria listed above.

#SU-2006-8 KIVA#RPP3-2063487
3. The public use and interest will be served by the platting of such ,
subdivision and dedication.
4. The City has considered the physical characteristics of the proposed
subdivision site and may deny a proposed plat because of flood,
inundation, or wetland conditions; slope, or soil stability and/or
capabilities. Construction of protective improvements may be required
as a condition of approval, and such improvements shall be noted on the
final plat.
D. Consistency Analysis t
The proposed rezone and subdivision are consistent with the goals and policies
of the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan.
1. Type of Land Use Allowed
The development of single family home sites is a principally permitted
use on land zoned SR-6, Single Family Residential.
2. Level of Development Allowed
The proposed subdivision of three acres into 13 building sites is
consistent with the designated Comprehensive Plan designation of SF-6
Single Family/6 units per acre and with the zoning designation of SR-6
(pending the outcome of RZ-2006-9).
3. Adequacy of Infrastructure
The proposed subdivision will place increased demands on existing
transportation, and water and sanitary sewer systems in the general
vicinity. The project will also result in an increase of impervious surface.
When fully developed, the impact of 13 new homes being occupied will
result in an estimated 120 daily and 12 new PM peak hour trips to the
local street system.
The effects on the domestic water supply, sanitary sewer service,
stormwater run-off, conveyance, storage, treatment and discharge and
transportation impacts have been analyzed through the SEPA process
and the associated MDNS.

#ENV-2006-54 KIVA #2063486
Kim Marousek, AICP: Responsible Official Staff Contact: Sharon Clamp
' I. PROPOSAL
The applicant proposes to subdivide a three acre parcel into 13 single family residential
lots, one stormwater tract, one sensitive area tract, two private access tracts, and one
public subdivision road tract. The single family residence and residential outbuildings
' will be removed. A portion of the 100-foot buffer from an offsite Type 2 stream extends
onto the northeast corner of the site. In addition, the applicant is seeking a rezone of
the property from SR-4.5, single family residential, to SR-6, single family residential.
The subject property is located at 10040 SE 267th Street and is identified by King County
tax parcel number 2922059211.
II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Compliance with Kent's Comprehensive Plan (Ordinance 3222), the Washington State
Growth Management Act (GMA), The Local Project Review Act (ESHB 1724 and ESB
6094), Kent's Construction Standards (Ordinance 3117) and Concurrency Management
(Chapter 12.11, Kent City Code) will require concurrent improvements or the execution
of binding agreements by the Applicant/Owner with Kent to mitigate identified
environmental impacts. These improvements and/or agreements may include
improvements to roadways, intersections and intersection traffic signals, stormwater
detention, treatment and conveyance, utilities, sanitary sewerage and domestic water
systems. Compliance with Kent's Construction Standards may require the deeding/
' dedication of right-of-way for identified improvements. Compliance with Title 11.03, Title
11.06 and with Section 15.08.240 of the Kent City Code may require the conveyance of
Sensitive Area Tracts to the City of Kent in order to preserve trees, regulate the location
and density of development based upon known physical constraints such as steep
and/or unstable slopes or proximity to lakes, or to maintain or enhance water quality.
Compliance with the provisions of Chapter 6.12 of the Kent City Code may require
provisions for mass transit adjacent to the site.
Decision Document
Vista Landing
#ENV-2006-54, KIVA 2063486 '
In addition to the above, Kent follows revisions to the Washington State Environmental '
Policy Act, Chapter 197-11 WAC (effective November 10, 1997), which implements ESHB
1724 and ESB 6094. ,
Any conditions applied to the following Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance are
applied because identified impacts cannot adequately be addressed by existing City
codes and ordinances.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
A. Earth '
The site is described as hilly with slopes of up to 15 percent. The site contains
Alderwood Sandy Gravely Loan soils. Site preparation will require grading for the
roads, utilities, building pads on each individual lot, and stormwater facilities.
Grade and fill quantities are expected to be approximately 7,600 cubic yards of
cut and 10,600 cubic yards of fill. Upon project completion no more than 65 ,
percent of the total area will be covered by impervious surfaces.
The Community Design Element of the Kent Comprehensive Plan contains goals ,
and policies that encourage low impact development and environmental
sensitivity in the design of all projects. The grading of the site should be done
within the existing contours as much as possible, minimizing the need for ,
retaining walls. Furthermore, low impact development techniques promote the
protection of existing site vegetation, reduce infrastructure and utility
maintenance costs (streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, storm sewer), and ,
potentially decrease the impacts and costs of land clearing and grading. Also,
low impact development has the potential to reduce costs for site development
improvements such as streets, utilities and storm water management systems.
The Applicant/Owner will be required to submit and receive approval of a
Detailed Grading Plan from the Department of Public Works for the entire
development. These Plans will be required to meet the requirements of the City
of Kent Construction Standards and City of Kent Development Assistance
Brochure #1-3, Excavation and Grading Permits & Grading Plans. These plans '
will include provisions for utilities, roadways, retention/detention ponds/facilities,
stormwater treatment facilities, and a budding footpad for each building. These
plans will also be designed to eliminate the need for processing several individual
Grading Permits upon application for Budding Permits.
The Applicant/Owner will be required to submit and receive approval of a
Temporary Erosion/Sedimentation Control Plan meeting the requirements of the
City of Kent Construction Standards, from the Department of Public Works for
the entire development. These plans will be required to reflect the Detailed '
Grading Plan discussed above and the Detailed Tree Plan meeting the
requirements of City of Kent Development Assistance Brochure #3, Detailed Tree
Plans, approved by the Planning Department. '

Decision Document
Vista Landing
' #ENV-2006-54, KNA 2063486
' B. Air
During project construction there will be an increase in vehicle exhaust and dust
particles due to sod displacement and construction vehicles entering and leaving
' the site. During periods of dry weather, watering down of exposed sods,
washing truck wheels before exiting the site, and maintaining gravel construction
entrances will keep dust particle emissions to a minimum.
' C. Water
The Applicant shall be required to complete a drainage analysis and develop and
submit drainage plans according to the "2002 City of Kent Surface Water Design
Manual"and the "1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual."
The proposed project is located in the Mill Creek watershed, which flows into the
' Green River. Upper Mill Creek is located off-site to the northeast of the subject
parcel. A portion of Mill Creek's 100-foot buffer extends onto the project site.
The stream buffer shall be protected in accordance with Kent City Code Section
' 11.06, including recording a sensitive area easement or deeding the property to
the City for preservation of stream function and values. A copy of the wetland
and stream analysis report is located in the Public Works Department,
Engineering Division, in Wetland File No. 06-27.
No impacts to the stream or its buffer are proposed as a result of this
' development.
The Community Design Element of the Kent Comprehensive Plan contains goals
' and policies that encourage low impact development and environmental
sensitivity in the design of all projects. Utilization of low impact development
techniques (LID) promotes an innovative approach to storm water management
' with a basic principle that rainfall is managed at the source using more natural
decentralized controls than a typical conveyance and treatment system.
Typically, LID addresses storm water through small, cost-effective landscape
features located at the lot level. This includes not only open space, but also
rooftops, streetscapes, sidewalks, and medians.
D. Plants
The vegetation on site consists of deciduous and evergreen trees, grass, and
shrubs. Pursuant to Section 15.08.240 Kent City Code, tree retention is required.
' All trees over six-inch caliper are required to be preserved to the maximum
extent possible. A tree preservation plan for the proposed subdivision will be
required as a part of the grading plans for the property. Low impact development
' techniques promote the protection of existing site vegetation and potentially
decrease the impacts and costs of land clearing and grading.
' The Applicant/Owner will also be required to submit and receive approval of a
Landscape Plan meeting the requirements of the City of Kent Construction
Standards, and the landscape requirements for retention/detention ponds in City
of Kent Development Assistance Brochure #5, Landscape Plans. Both the Kent
' Page 3 of 8
Decision Document '
Vista Landing
#ENV-2006-54, KIVA 2063486
Planning Department and the Department of Public Works must approve these '
plans prior to, or in conjunction with, the approval of the Engineering Plans.
E. Land and Shoreline Use
The subject property is currently zoned SR-4.5, single family residential, which '
allows a maximum gross density of 4.53 dwelling units per acre. The
Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation is SF-6, single family residential, 6 '
units per acre. The proposed rezone request is consistent with the
comprehensive plan.
The property is developed with a single family residence and associated
residential outbuildings. Adjacent properties in all directions are zoned SR-4.5.
Single family residences on platted lots abut the site to the south. Single family
residences on large lots with future development potential abut the site to the '
east and west. Mill Creek Canyon Park abuts the site to the north.
Although, there are no specific regulations in place at this time, the City '
encourages developers to utilize low impact development techniques within new
subdivisions. As mentioned previously, the Community Design Element of the
Kent Comprehensive Plan contains goals and policies that encourage low impact '
development and environmental sensitivity in the design of all projects. The
applicant proposes grading of the site which should be done within the existing
contours as much as possible, minimizing the need for retaining walls. Low
impact development techniques promote the protection of existing site
vegetation, reduce infrastructure and utility maintenance costs (streets, curbs,
gutters, sidewalks, storm sewer), and potentially decrease the impacts and costs ,
of land clearing and grading. Also, low impact development has the potential to
reduce costs for site development improvements such as streets, utilities and
storm water management systems. '
F. Housing
The proposed development will provide 13 new single family residences. '
G. Utilities
Public utilities for water and sewer will be extended along with power, gas,
telephone and cable utilities.
H. Transportation '
The Washington State Legislature created the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR)
Law in 1991 with the goals of reducing traffic congestion, air pollution and
petroleum consumption. This law requires major employers to encourage their '
employees to use commute alternatives such as transit, carpools, bicycles,
walking, compressed work weeks, telecommuting, and flexible work schedules to
reduce drive alone commute trips during the peak congestion periods. The City '
addresses the transit alternative by requiring that the Applicant accommodate
the needs for transit as expressed by King County Metro Transit.

' Decision Document
Vista Landing
#ENV-2006-54, KIVA 2063486
This Residential Subdivision/PUD development as proposed would add an
' estimated 120 daily and 12 PM peak hour trips to the public street system.
This development will cause significant and/or additional congestion at the
following intersections:
SE 26r Street at 104th Avenue SE
104th Avenue SE at SE 272nd Street
SE 272nd Street at 108th Avenue SE
108th Avenue SE at SE 274th Way
The proposed development project is located on the East Hill of the City and is
proposed to take its only access from SE 267th Street. This street is classified as
a Residential Collector Arterial Street with Bike Lanes within the City's
Comprehensive Plan. This street is not fully constructed to current street
standards. This street has an existing public right-of-way width of about 60 feet,
while the asphalt street width is currently about 20 feet wide. The existing street
provides for two narrow lanes of traffic and does not include the following street
improvement features: cement concrete curbs and gutters; stormwater drainage
system; cement concrete sidewalks; or a street lighting system.
The existing asphalt pavement section of the street is inadequate to provide an
expected 20-year service life and is in need of an asphalt overlay/rebuild in order
to maintain an acceptable level of service while accommodating the increased
volume of trips being generated by this proposal.
Streets and roadways, which do not provide adequate capacity for motor
vehicles, and streets that have fading pavement sections, result in increased air
' pollution when compared to streets that comply with current standards and
provide adequate capacity and pavement section. Similarly, intersections that do
not provide for adequate capacity also increase the levels of air pollution.
This development is within an area that is characterized by streets with narrow
traffic lanes and narrow or no shoulders, and has been identified as having
substandard pedestrian facilities. This development will require off-site
sidewalks/walkways to provide safe travel for school-age pedestrians to and from
Scenic Hill Elementary School.
IV. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
A. It is appropriate per WAC 197-11-660 and RCW 43.21C.060 that the City of Kent

1. The Applicant shall provide a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) to identify the '
existing and future level-of-service (LOS) for the adjacent intersections
identified in the Staff Report for this development and the existing and
future V / C ratios for the adjacent City streets in the roadway network.
The TIS shall specifically identify all intersections and streets currently at
or below City standards, or estimated to be at or below City standards
due to the increased traffic volumes reasonably expected from the
development; and all adjacent streets at or above the V / C ratios
established for that Mobility Management Zone.
The TIS shall then identify what improvements are necessary to provide a
LOS better than or equal to City standards for all intersections to
completely mitigate the existing and/or development impacts thereon.
The TIS shall also identify what improvements are necessary to
completely mitigate the adjacent streets which do not meet the V / C
requirements of Chapter 12.11 of the Kent City Code. Upon agreement by
the City with the findings of the TIS and of the mitigation measures
recommended in the approved TIS; implementation and/or construction
of said mitigation measures shall be the conditional requirement of the

OR
In lieu of submitting the TIS required above and then providing the
mitigation measures identified in the approved study, the Owner/
Subdivider may instead pay Environmental Mitigation Fee (EMF) to
participate in, and pay a fair share of the estimated construction costs of
the City's South 272nd Street/South 277th Street Corridor Project. The
minimum benefit to the Owner/Subdivider is estimated at $12,816 (1986
dollars to be adjusted for rezones; and for inflation based upon the
Consumer Price Index, United States City Average for all Urban
Consumers, or the substituted index as prepared by the United States
Department of Labor) based upon 12 new PM Peak Hour Trips (at the
rate of $1068 per PM Peak Hour Trip) and the capacity of the South 272nd
Street/South 277th Street Corridor.
a. The final benefit value will be determined based upon the number
of new lots approved upon the final plat/PUD multiplied times
$1068 (in 1986 dollars and adjusted for rezones and for inflation
as described above.)
b. The Owner of each lot shall pay the incremental financial
obligation specified herein in full prior to issuance of a Budding
Permit for that lot.
C. The payment of said Environmental Mitigation Fee and the traffic
related conditions given within this document, will serve to
mitigate traffic impacts to the above mentioned intersections and
' road system by committing funding for the South 272nd Street/
South 277th Street Corridor which provides additional capacity for
traffic volumes within the area of the above mentioned
development.
2. The applicant shall submit and receive approval of Pedestrian Walkway
Improvement Plans from the Department of Public Works. The Applicant
shall then construct those improvements. These plans shall provide for a
6-foot vertically separated asphalt walkway conforming to Standard Detail
6-60 from the end of the 5-foot wide sidewalk to the sidewalk/asphalt
walkway system serving Scenic Hill Elementary School. At the sole
discretion of the Department of Public Works, the Owner/Subdivider may
instead pay a regional sidewalk improvement mitigation fee in the
amount of $1500 per gross acre to the School Pedestrian Walkways Fund
(fund #R20036).
3. The Applicant shall utilize Low Impact Development Techniques in
construction of the project, where determined feasible by the Kent Public
Works Department and Planning Services Division, including but not
Page 7 of 8

limited to rainwater collection systems, porous paving on sidewalks, and
bioretention areas with curb cuts in planting strips along roadways.
4. The Applicant shall be sensitive to the natural topography of the site
during construction and minimize negative impact to on-site soils and
neighboring properties.
5. The Applicant shall minimize grading of the site and where done the
grading shall follow the natural contours as much as possible, minimizing
the need for retaining walls. Any retaining walls shall be no more than 4
feet high at perimeter and internal individual property lines and no more
than 6 feet high around the detention/retention pond that is not adjacent
to common property lines. Walls around such detention ponds shall not
exceed 50 percent of the perimeter of the pond and ponds shall be
landscaped per City standards. The walls shall be constructed of rockery,
other natural material, or with Planning Services and Public Works
approvals may be constructed of patterned concrete that simulates
natural materials. Where structural walls are required to support access
roads and as such cannot be constructed of rockery or natural material,
the walls shall be faced with such materials. Site conditions may warrant
slight adjustments to wall height during construction. Height adjustments
up to 10% of the overall height may be permissible and are subject to
review and approval by Planning Services and Public Works. Retaining
walls associated with construction of the public streets along the frontage
of the property are exempt from the height limits described herein.
Grading to achieve flat building lots shall be minimized.

I ITEM 2— Resolution for Proposed LID 362 — East Valley Highway (SR 167 to South 212th St)
Mark Howlett, Design Engineering Manager, showed photos of the proposed project and explained
that the East Valley project has been on our 6-year Transportation Improvement Plan T I P. for some
time for widening and rehabilitation of the pavement. The Design Engineering Section has been very
successful in obtaining grants for the project and has so far received 5 grants totaling just over 2
million dollars from 3 funding partners. Properties representing 37 percent of the assessment have
signed no protest L.I.D. Covenants and Environmental Mitigation Agreements for road improvements.

King Conservation District WRIA Forum
Mike Mactutis, Environmental Engineering Manager, reported that in August 2006, the City of Kent
completed a King Conservation District (KCD) Watershed Forum Grant to obtain funding for the
Riverview Park Restoration Project. The City of Kent is working closely with the US Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) on the project, and will use the KCD grant as part of the city's cost share for the
project. The project creates a new 820-ft long flow-through channel, to provide summer rearing
habitat and high low winter refuge for salmon in a critical reach of the Lower Green River. Designs will
be completed in 2007 with construction anticipated to begin in 2008. A brief discussion with
committee members and staff followed.
Clark moved to recommend the Council to authorize the Mayor to sign the King

ITEM 4 — Riverview Park Restoration Proiect Design Agreement between the City of Kent
and US Army Corps of Engineers
Mike Mactutis, Environmental Engineering Manager, stated that in order to complete design of the
project, a partnership between the City of Kent and the Corps must be entered through the signing of
a Design Agreement (DA). The DA requires that the City contribute 25 percent of the total design
cost of the project. The total estimated design cost is projected to be $451,200 of which the city's
proportionate share is projected to be $112,800 and the Corps share is the remaining $338,400. To
fund a portion of the project costs, the City of Kent successfully applied for and received a grant
award in December 2006, from the state Salmon Recovery Funding Board in the amount of $150,000.

' Items to bring back to Committee:
• Construction Standards bring back to PWC as it is being updated.
Ongoing - Clark would like to see the end to piecemeal sidewalks. He'd like to see
better coordination with Public Works and Planning.
• Partnering with neighborhoods - Traffic Issues that are ongoing Southpark Neighborhood (S 3rd
Avenue), Southridge Neighborhood (282nd Street SE), Country Village Estates, Titus Street Traffic
Counts, and others that may have been added to the list.
Steve and Larry will bring back information on the above mentioned at a later date.
• Look at what it would cost for generator type battery back-up at intersections during inclement
weather or other options that may be available to provide power to traffic signals during power
outage or emergency situations.
At this time, it is not feasible to have back-up generators at numerous signals due to the
cost of generators, no place for fuel storage, safety and security issues. However, staff
will bring this information back to committee when we have some solid cost
information.
■ Lea Hill Right-of-Way/Annexation/ De-annexation process.
Staff is working with Auburn to iron out the details. Staff will keep the committee
informed as things progress.
Items to be brought bring back to Committee at a later date:
• Where are we on Landsburg Mine, water quality? Environmental Engineering.
• Quality of Lake Meridian - Sheen on lake Environmental Engineering.
' Boating season soon underway - where are we with outreach project for park closures?
Environmental Engineering in conjunction with the Parks and Recreation Department.
