IMPROVEMENTS (QUASI-JUDICIAL PROCEEDING)
2. SUMMARY STATEMENT: As established by Council, this date has been set
for the public hearing on confirmation of the final assessment roll for LID 359.
The city has determined that certain properties are specially benefited by the
improvement of 116th Avenue SE by roadway improvements (including widening,
curb and gutter, sidewalks, street lighting, landscaping, watermain, sanitary
sewer, and storm water improvements. The City has proposed to proportionately
assess these properties in accord with those special benefits. Because the
proposed final assessment roll affects specific, individual property owners, the
Council sits in a quasi-judicial capacity as a board of equalization for this matter.
Public Works staff will make a presentation, followed by a brief informational
statement from the City Attorney before opening the hearing.

Move to recommend Council authorize the Mayor to set November 18, 2008
for the Public Hearing on the confirmation of the Final Assessment Roll for
L.I.D. 359
Summary:
This project was on the City's Six Year Transportation Improvement Program and
was known as the S. 277th Corridor Extension. This section of 116th Avenue was
part of the 277th Corridor which had not yet been fully improved to City standards.
City Engineering staff competed for a state grant to help pay for the costs and were
ultimately successful in obtaining a $1.945 million dollar grant for the project.
During the process of negotiation with the property owners in this area to acquire
right of way, it became evident that nearly all of the property owners wanted to
have sewer service installed, and again nearly all of the property owners wanted to
either sell their property to a developer or redevelop the property themselves. To
develop individual properties a developer would have to install the necessary
sanitary sewers, storm sewers, water lines, storm water detention and build typical
street frontage improvements similar to what you would see in other private
residential developments throughout the City.
The grant the City obtained could not be used for the utility extensions that would
benefit individual private properties, but only for the general roadway. Because the
properties requested these utility extensions to their private property to allow
development to occur, the City investigated the best way for the property owners to
finance the added cost and recommended a local improvement district. One of the
property owners circulated a L.I.D. petition and collected signatures from a number
of property owners.
The Resolution of Intent #1728 was passed by City Council on August 1, 2006
which set the hearing date for September 5, 2006. Only six property owner spoke
in opposition of the L.I.D. formation and nobody submitted a protest. Various
P lPubficL4dmmSuplBethlPWCommneelAuronPage doc
others spoke in favor, therefore City Council passed Ordinance No. 3808 forming
P � � Y P 9
the L.I.D. and ordering the construction of the improvements.
The project construction was done with two construction contracts both awarded to
P ]
Rodarte Construction, Inc. The first was for the joint utility trench for the
undergrounding work and the second was for the remainder of the road and utility 1
work.
Summary:
The construction is near completion and we are ready to finalize the L.I.D. The
total final assessment of $1,331,231.69 is less than the preliminary assessment of
$2,015,197.59.

ATTACHMENT A
BACKGROUND / HISTORY OF LID 359:
For sometime the City planned to widen 116th Avenue SE between Kent Kangley
Road and S. 256th Street. The project was on the City's Six Year Transportation
Improvement Program and was known as the S. 277th Corridor Extension. This
section of 116th Avenue was part of the 277th Corridor which had not yet been fully
improved to City standards. Traffic studies show that traffic demand will continue
to increase on this section of 116th Avenue. The roadway facilitates traffic from SE
256th Street to the previously improved portion of the 272"d Street Corridor south
of Kent Kangley Road.
The project widened the street from two lanes to five and included curb, gutters,
sidewalk, a new storm water system, a new street illumination system, and
undergrounding of the overhead power and telephone wires. Also included was
widening on Kent Kangley Road near the intersection with 116th Street. City
Engineering staff competed for a state grant to help pay for the costs and were
ultimately successful in obtaining a $1.945 million dollar grant for the project.
To complete the project the City needed to widen the right-of-way to accommodate
the wider roadway. Following a typical process the City hired an outside appraiser
and property negotiator to acquire the strips of private property needed adjacent to
the roadway. During the process of negotiation with the property owners in this
area to acquire these property strips, it became evident that nearly all of the
property owners wanted to have sewer service installed, and again nearly all of the
property owners wanted to either sell their property to a developer or redevelop the
property themselves.
To develop individual properties a developer would have to install the necessary
sanitary sewers, storm sewers, water lines, storm water detention and build typical
street frontage improvements similar to what you would see in other private
residential developments throughout the City.
The grant the City obtained cannot be used for the utility extensions that would
benefit individual private properties, but only for the general roadway. Because the
properties have requested these utility extensions to their private property to allow
development to occur, the City investigated the best way for the property owners to
finance the added cost and recommended a local improvement district. One of the
property owners circulated an L.I.D. petition and collected signatures from a
number of property owners. In addition, there were two other parcels which have
signed L.I.D. no protest covenants for street improvements. The cost of adding the
utilities and extending the sewer, water lines, and street frontage improvements
was estimated. Information was sent to all of the property owners within the
proposed L.I.D including the project description, L.I.D. information and the
proposed assessment.
Subsequently, we met individually with all but three of the property owners which
declined the invitation. Nearly all of the property owners expressed interest in
developing their property or eventually selling to a developer. During these
meetings we discussed the potential for development of each property owners
Pwposed LID 116'^AveIPWCommztteeUctronPage doc
property and the need for street and utility improvements to allow development to
P Y
occu r.
An individual property owner could extend the sanitary sewer to their property and
pay the full cost up front; however, for most cases this would not be economically
feasible. With the L.I.D. everybody serviced shares in the cost. It also made sense
to install the utilities prior to the street construction to avoid cutting the new street
and the associated extra costs at a later date. The City obtained grant funding and
had other funds to reduce the cost of the street improvements. Including the L.I.D.
improvements in the City project increased the economy of scale as larger projects
usually receive better prices which also reduces the cost. Also, the L.I.D. provides
a 15 year payment plan at a low rate of interest.
The response to the proposal was very positive and subsequently the L.I.D. was
formed. The Resolution of Intent #1728 was passed by City Council on August 1,
2006 which set the hearing date for September 5, 2006. Only six property owner
spoke in opposition of the L.I.D. formation and nobody submitted a protest.
Various others spoke in favor, therefore, City Council passed Ordinance No. 3808
forming the L.I.D. and ordering the construction of the improvements.
L.I.D. IMPROVEMENTS FOR 116T" AVE SE
Roadway:
The roadway improvements included widening to 5 lanes (2 lanes each direction
with a center turn lane), bike lanes, curb and gutter, sidewalk, channelization,
signing, storm drainage and detention, street lighting, street trees and
undergrounding of overhead power and telephone wires. These improvements
include the roadway frontage improvements typically required for development. A
small share of the total project cost is assessed to the frontage properties.
Sanitary Sewer:
The project consisted of installing an eight-inch diameter sanitary sewer collection
system complete with manholes. Six-inch diameter side sewer stubs from the main
line to the property lines at the street were also included. For properties where
future multiple connections were anticipated, the appropriate number of stubs are
included. Where there was anticipated significant future development, an eight inch
stub was included. The sanitary sewer is 100% L.I.D. funded.
Water:
A City water main is already located within 1161" Ave SE and the existing houses
were already connected, however, for future development of the properties,
additional connections to the water main will be required. To avoid cutting the new
street, stubs and services to accommodate future development were installed to
the edge of the right of way. This work included one inch service lines with meter
box and setter for anticipated future lots or where required, an eight inch stub for a
future main extension. The new stubs and services are 100% L.I.D. funded.
NEED FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS:
The L.I.D. improvements are needed for development as discussed above. In
addition, sanitary sewer is needed for other reasons.
Proposed LID 116`^AveIPWCommitteeUctronPage doc
The project area is an older residential area with septic systems. All residential lots
except one have homes. It is not known how many existing septic systems were
technically in a state of failure if any. However, we did receive input regarding
septic problems. Due to the age of the septic systems and the potential for
problems, the sewer is a desirable improvement, particularly with the adjacent
creek. Usually it is difficult and expensive to repair septic problems, especially with
today's stricter standards. Sanitary sewers are usually the only feasible,
economical and long term method for addressing these potential problems,
especially when numerous property owners in a neighborhood support sewer
installation as was the case with this project.
The Department of Public health has told us that the life expectancy of a septic
system is twenty to thirty years depending on use and maintenance and that they
are a short term disposal method until public sewers become available. These
homes were built in the 1950's and 1960's, with some being older, therefore the
project area has exceeded this time frame. These systems are at or are near the
end of their useful life. The cost of septic repairs may also be as high as converting
to public sewers. The latest state codes make septic repairs more difficult and
expensive than in the past.
The soil type within the project area is rated poor for septic system use. According
to the Soil Conservation Service (US Dept. of Agriculture) soil survey for King
County, the soil type as mapped is rated "severe limitation" (worst case) for septic
drain fields. The soil series is designated as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam. This
soil exhibits very low permeability below a depth of 24 to 40 inches and has a
seasonal high water table less than 4 foot depth. Effluent and drainage move
laterally over the shallow imperious layers. Effluent may come to the surface
resulting in odor.
In addition to the need for sewers in this area to replace the old septic systems,
there are environmental concerns. Septic systems are a threat to water quality,
fish and wildlife and public health within the drainage basin for this area. A stream
tributary to Soosette Creek runs through the project area. There is also a wetland
along one portion of the stream and another wetland on the other side of 116th.
Septic seepage and runoff can degrade water quality in the stream and wetlands.

There is one City property (#9) within this L.I.D. with a final assessment of
$39,710.22.
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT:
The assessment for each component of the L.I.D. was distributed to the benefiting
properties as follows:
Street: These costs were distributed by square footage using a modified zone and
termini method. The assessment rate decreases with each 100 foot zones back
from the street frontage to the rear of the property. For this project there are up to
7 zones. The zone rate for the first 100 foot strip of each parcel is seven times the
rate of the seventh zone from the frontage, the second zone from the frontage is
six time the rate of the seventh zone and so on. Parcels #17, 18 and 19 are
located on Kent Kangley and were not assessed for the widening of 116t''
Most of the property within this L.I.D. is zoned single family (SR6 and SR8). Due to
the different densities of single family and the fact that the benefit relates to the
number of developable lots that can be obtained, the single family property
assessments were calculated based on the number of developable lots. Each parcel
was reviewed to determine the minimum number of lots that could be obtained
through a short plat or full plat. The total cost from the zone and termini
distribution for all of the single family zoned properties was distributed on a per
potential lot basis. The assessment for three other parcels zoned multiple family
(MRM) and office-mixed use (O-MU) are per the zone and termini calculation.
Sanitary Sewer: These assessments were calculated in the same manner as the
street assessments described above. One property (#7) already had sewer service
and was not assessed.
Water Stubs: Each property is assessed for the actual cost for the number of new
one inch or two inch water services or for an eight inch stub from the existing water
main to the property as required to fully develop the parcel. Parcels #7, 10, 18 and
19 were not assessed for water as they already have access and service for the
potential number of lots.
Storm Detention: Originally assessment numbers 8 and 9 were assessed a share
of the cost to build the projects detention pond. The pond was sized to handle the
additional water. This would eliminate the need for on site ponds on these
properties. No other properties can gravity into the City pond, therefore, they were
not assessed. Due to wetlands on numbers 8 and 9, the number of potential lots
has been reduced. For the smaller number of lots, detention will not be needed,
therefore the detention assessment was eliminated for the final assessment roll.
PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENTS: T
Following Council passing the Ordinance confirming the Final Assessment Roll, there
is a 30-day period in which any portion or all of the assessment can be paid without
interest charges. After the 30-day period, the balance is paid over a fifteen-year
period wherein each year's payment is one-fifteenth of the principal plus interest on
the unpaid balance. The market determines the interest rate at the time the L.I.D.
bonds are sold to the public.
Proposed LID 116'"Avel PWCommeBeeUchonPage doc
CHANGES SINCE PRELIMINARY ROLL:
Several changes have been implemented since the L.I.D. was formed. These
9 p
changes affect the amount or distribution of the assessments.
1. Assessment #3
was reduced from 3 lots to 2 lots.
(Lawyer)
2. Assessment #8 (Kangas) submitted a wetland delineation which was approved.
Due to the wetland and buffer, only 3 lots can be developed instead of the 10 used
for the original assessment. The final assessment is based on 3 lots. With only two
potential additional houses, detention is not required. The detention assessment
was deleted for the final assessment.
The preliminary assessment for water was not based on lots. It was based on the
actually cost of the stubs received. For assessment #8 an 8 inch water stub was
originally planned to service the 10 lots. However, with the reduction in lots, this
stub isn't needed, although it was constructed. The assessment was revised to
reflect the cost for 2 standard 1" services as installed elsewhere on the project.
With the 2 new services in addition to the existing service for the original house, 3
houses can now be serviced.
3. Assessment #9 (City of Kent, originally Myers) also contains a wetland which
was delineated. The number of lots was revised from 5 to 2. The water stub was
changed prior to construction and the final assessment is based on 1 new standard
1" service. With only one potential additional house, detention is not required.
The detention assessment was deleted for the final assessment.
4. Assessment #11 (Lam) submitted a proposed development plan which showed 4
lots instead of 3. We agreed that 4 lots could be developed. Additional stubs were
added to accommodate 4 lots. The final assessment was calculated based on 4
lots.
5. Assessment #12 (Duma) received a sanitary sewer connection. Prior to
repaving the driveway, the sewer connection from the existing house to the side
sewer stub was installed as part of the project. This cost is in addition to the basic
sewer assessment and the cost was added to the assessment for #12.
6. Assessments #15 and #16 (Hurley and Basmajian) executed a lot line
adjustment. The final assessments were revised to reflect this change. The
originally planned 8" water stub to service both of these lots now only services #16.
A 2" service was added to service #15.
7. Assessment #7 (Colonial Square) converted to a condominium with an new
owner for each of 43 units. Assessment numbers #20 to #62 were added to the
assessment roll.

Introduction
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. Project and
financial development involve interactions with many groups and
agencies at the local, regional, state and federal levels. It represents
Kent's current list of needed projects that may begin work in 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 or there are reasonable expectations
to acquire those funds, while projects in the last three years can be
partially funded and be seeking funding partners. All projects are
consistent with the City's adopted 2004 Comprehensive Plan.
Mandated by State Law
State law requires that each city develop a local TIP and that it
be updated annually (RCW 35.77.010). In order for cities to compete
for transportation funding grants from Federal and State sources most
granting agencies require that projects be included in the TIP.
Summary
The 2009 Six Year TIP contains no substantive changes from last
year's Program. All projects and programs have been reviewed for
adjustments in scope and budget but no new projects have been
added. Once adopted, the TIP helps to guide funding and
implementation priorities during the development of the transportation
portion of the city's Six-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). �'

Construction ................................$6,500,000
TOTAL........................................$91500,000
FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent, Local Improvement District,TIB
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Southeast 256'h Street is a two-lane roadway with no curbs, gutters or
sidewalks and a limited street light system. During peak hours, the
roadway cannot accommodate the traffic volumes due to the large
number of vehicles blocking the roadway while waiting to turn left into
driveways. The widening of Southeast 2561h Street also alleviates traffic
on SR 516 (Kent Kangley Road) as the two roads essentially run parallel
to each other. The project will increase the capacity of this roadway by
adding new general purpose lanes and a center two-way left turn lane.
This project will connect the SR 515/SR 516 intersection with the
improvements already existing on Southeast 256`h Street east of 116th
Avenue Southeast and the improvements along 116"' Avenue Southeast
between Southeast 250" Street and Kent Kangley Road.

FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: This road lies in the heart of the City's manufacturing area. Heavy truck
traffic means pavement condition on South 228th Street has deteriorated
significantly. Kent is the second largest warehouse/distribution center on
the west coast with over 40 million square feet of industrial space. With
the completion of major portions of the 228th corridor and the anticipated
increase in the number of daily truck trips, the pavement will continue to
deteriorate at an accelerated rate. This project will maintain a major
freight corridor to the ports and protect the City's investment in
transportation infrastructure.

PROJECT ,
JUSTIFICATION: The opening of the 196`' Street corridor on the south end of the project
and Renton's completion of Oaksdale Avenue South results in 801h
Avenue South being a significant north-south corridor serving the
industrial area. As a result, the increased traffic volumes along this
section of 80`' Avenue South are reaching the point where a consistent
five lane roadway section is required to provide safe left turn access into
the adjoining properties. Further, concrete curbs and gutters are required
to provide control of roadway drainage and to prevent impacts to adjacent
property owners. Sidewalks and street lighting will provide safe access
for pedestrians.

PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Routes 914/916 provide mobility and independence to many of the city's
seniors and reduce the need for expensive ACCESS service for many
wheelchair-lift service trips. Community circulating shuttles encourage
the participation of all ages, all economic groups, all physical abilities,
and virtually all of our community in everyday civic life without the
isolation and pollution of the automobile for every trip. Commuter
shuttles enhance the regional transit/train service by providing the vital
link from the home to the Transit Center and from the Transit Center to
the workplace, encouraging people to leave their vehicles at home,
avoiding the cold start impacts to air quality and reducing congestion on
local streets.

PROJECT #39: Transit Now Service Partnership Program
Ongoing Citywide Program
DESCRIPTION: Transit Now is a voter-approved King County Metro Transit program
which provides incentives for local jurisdictions to improve local transit
operations by entering into a direct financial partnership with Metro for
providing that additional service. Metro will match a partner's
contribution on a 2:1 basis. Transit Now requires a minimum
contribution from the partner of$100,000 per year for five (5) years to add
service on an existing route or $200,000 per year for five (5) years to add a
new route. Kent was successful on two proposals, one to add new daily
shuttle service through The Lakes and Riverview communities to the Kent
Transit Center, and one to increased frequencies on the Route 153 between
Kent and Renton.

FUNDING SOURCE(S): City of Kent, King County, Commute Trip Reduction
Program (CTR) Employers
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Transit service (bus & train) between Kent and downtown Seattle is
generally competitive with automobile driving during the commute
hours. Transit service within Kent and between Kent and its neighboring
jurisdictions has serious deficiencies. Due to low frequency, transit is
simply not a viable option for travelers who need to make a trip during
the midday, commuters working non-traditional shifts, and peak hour
commuters who are concerned that there is no safety net service should
they need to travel during the midday. These partnership proposals allow
us to buy our way into providing additional service to our community that
we would not otherwise be able to obtain.

2. SUMMARY STATEMENT: Adopt Ordinance No. authorizing an
application process for development of up to two (2) cottage housing projects
that demonstrate a housing choice not currently available in Kent's single family
neighborhoods.
Cottage Housing Development is an alternative type of development made up of
detached small single-family residences (cottages) clustered around a common
open space with garages and parking located away from the houses. After
holding its own public hearing on November 10th, the Planning and Economic
Development Committee recommended amendments to the code change
recommended by the Land Use and Planning Board following their public hearing
of September 22, 2008, specifically regarding the ability to include storm water
vaults in cottage housing developments, reducing the allowable density bonus,
and requiring a community meeting.

6. Private Open Space.
(1) Each cottage unit must have a covered porch with a '
minimum area of sixty-four (64) square feet per unit and a minimum
dimension of seven (7) feet on all sides. Porches shall be associated with ,
primary point of entry.
(2) Each carriage unit shall have a deck or balcony, ,
oriented toward the common open space.
(3) In addition to porches, at least three hundred (300) ,
square feet of private, contiguous, usable open space adjacent to each
individual dwelling unit shall be provided to contribute positively to the '
visual appearance of the development, promote diversity in planting
14
Cottage Housing Demonstration ,
materials, and utilize generally accepted good landscape design. The
1 private open space shall be oriented toward the common open space as
much as possible and shall have no dimension less than ten (10) feet.
The private open space shall define private residences from common
areas, trails, and parking areas. Fences surrounding these spaces shall be
a maximum height of three feet and shall be wrought iron, cedar split rail,
picket, or similar fencing material.
7. Pedestrian Flow through Development. Pedestrian
connections shall link all buildings to the:
a. Public right-of-way;
b. Common open space;
C. Parking areas; and
d. Other cottage clusters in the development.
The pedestrian walkways shall meet International Building Code
requirements for accessibility.
8. Shared Detached Garages and Surface Parking Design.
tParking areas shall be located so their visual presence and associated
noise are minimized, both within and outside the development. These
areas shall also maintain the single-family character along public streets.
a. Shared detached garage structures may not exceed
' four (4) single-car garage doors per building. Carriage units are preferred
above these garage structures.
' b. For shared detached garages, the design of the
structure must be of similar character to that of the dwelling units within
the development.
C. Shared detached garage structures and surface parking
' areas must be screened from streets outside the development and
adjacent residential uses by landscaping or architectural screening.
d. If garage structures are counted toward the required
number of parking stalls, these structures shall be reserved through a
15
Cottage Housing Demonstration
covenant for the parking of vehicles owned by the residents of the
development. Storage of items which preclude the use of the parking '
spaces for vehicles is prohibited.
e. Surface parking areas may not be located in rows of
more than six (6) spaces. Parking rows must be separated by a distance
of at least twenty (20) feet.
9. Landscaping. The intent of these landscaping requirements is
to enhance to overall appearance of the cottage housing development and
to give the development an appearance of establishment.
a. Cottage housing developments shall incorporate a
landscape master plan, designed and stamped by a professional landscape ,
architect, and include the following elements:
(1) All landscaped areas (except that which is in
private open spaces) shall be densely planted with a variety of decorative
trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and other plants. ,
(2) Landscaping shall be located adjacent to all
pathways and common open spaces and shall screen parking areas. '
(3) Perimeter setback areas shall be landscaped in a
manner that results in a dense landscape screen.
(4) Perimeter trees shall be maintained and
incorporated in the master landscape plan. ,
(5) Landscaping shall be included within private
open space, which shall be consistent with the overall landscape concept.
(6) The landscape design shall exhibit sensitivity to
principles of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED).
(7) Maintenance of landscaping (except that which is
in private open spaces) shall be the responsibility of the Homeowners' ,
Association.
b. Standards contained in KCC 15.08.240 for Tree '
Retention shall apply. Cottages shall be designed around significant trees.
16 '
Cottage Housing Demonstration
Within perimeter setbacks, all significant trees which do not constitute a
safety hazard shall be retained.
10. Low Impact Development.
a. For single family zones, density bonuses will only be
granted if all of the following low impact development (LID) techniques are
' met. LID techniques are not required if the proposal does not include a
density bonus. LID techniques are required for cottage housing
developments in multifamily zones. LID design standards shall be
according to the 2005 Puget Sound Action Team LID Manual.
b. When the density bonus is applied or the project is
located in a multifamily zone, the proposed site design shall incorporate
the use of LID strategies to meet stormwater management standards.
C. LID is a set of techniques that mimic natural watershed
hydrology by slowing, evaporating/transpiring, and filtering water, which
allows water to soak into the ground closer to its source. The design shall
implement the following objectives:
(1) Grading disturbance limited to roadway and
building pad preparation. Removal and compaction of topsoils shall be
minimized and soils may be amended to facilitate LID techniques. The
replacement of topsoils on all pervious areas disturbed by construction
shall be replaced.
(2) Use of pervious materials for a fifty percent
' (50%) of non-public driving and walking surfaces if soil type allows for
infiltration.
(3) Treatment of stormwater in numerous small,
decentralized structures, which include the use of multifunctional open
' drainage systems such as vegetated swales or filter strips which also help
to fulfill landscaping and open space requirements.
(4) Other options meeting the intent of this section
and approved in writing by Planning Services and Public Works.
17
Cottage Housing Demonstration
1
11. Stormwater Regulations.
a. The proposed site design shall meet all applicable ,
criteria from the 2002 City of Kent Surface Water Design Manual or
current manual adopted by the City of Kent. ,
b. Some sites, due to size or steeply sloping topography,
may have special difficulty including a stormwater detention pond in the
proposed site design. Vaults will be considered on a site by site basis for ,
stormwater detention and water quality with the following conditions.
(1) The vault access point(s) must be located in an
area that will already be planned for impervious surface.
(2) Water quality improvement and infiltration are ,
desired characteristics of stormwater detention facilities. Because vaults
eliminate infiltration and potentially degrade water quality, the vault
design must be shown to not have a detrimental impact on water quality,
and that an infiltration facility would not be feasible. ,
(3) The proposal must include an analysis of low
impact design techniques that will facilitate infiltration outside the vault, ,
as included in the 2005 Puget Sound Action Team LID Manual.
(4) The stormwater system will be required to be '
maintained by a homeowner's association.
C. The special allowances for vaults in lieu of open water
facilities for cottage housing demonstration projects do not nullify the
requirements of the 2002 City of Kent Surface Water Design Manual or
current manual adopted by the City of Kent for other developments.
SECTION 6. - Severability. If any one or more section,
subsections, or sentences of this ordinance are held to be unconstitutional ,
or invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
portion of this ordinance and the same shall remain in full force and effect.

RE: Revised Cottage Housing Demonstration Ordinance
[CPA-2008-2/KIVA #RPP6-2081199]
Staff report for the November 10, 2008 PEDC public hearing
MOTION: I move to adopt/modify/deny the Cottage Housing
Demonstration Ordinance as revised and presented by staff.
SUMMARY: The Cottage Housing Demonstration Ordinance was brought to Land
Use & Planning Board public hearings on August 25 and September 22, 2008, and
to the Planning & Economic Development Committee meeting on October 13, 2008.
City Council considered the ordinance at their October 21, 2008 meeting, and the
ordinance failed 4-3. Staff evaluated and researched the concerns voiced by
Council, and is proposing to revise the Cottage Housing Demonstration Ordinance
to address these concerns in a way that does not compromise the intent of the
cottage housing style of development.
BUDGET IMPACT: None.
BACKGROUND: The concerns voiced by Council generally focus on the density
bonus, neighborhood involvement, and stormwater vaults. Staff proposes to
reduce the maximum density bonus from 2 times the underlying density to 1.5, and
has added a neighborhood meeting requirement. Staff also proposes language
regarding stormwater vaults in cottage developments. However, the public hearing
is open for discussion of all elements of the Cottage Housing Demonstration
Ordinance, including alternative proposals to the staff recommendation. The
proposed density reduction could lessen the potential impact of cottage housing on
neighboring properties while providing an incentive for applicants and maintaining
the cottage community style of living. The neighborhood meeting requirement will
not only engage the neighborhood, but will also help the selection committee in
review of the selection criteria, particularly the criterion regarding how the proposal
fits in with the surrounding community. Allowing vaults to be considered for
cottage housing proposals can provide for greater site design flexibility, particularly
on smaller infill properties.

RE: 2008 Annual Docket Report
MOTION: Approve the 2008 Annual Docket Report as recommended
PP P
by the Planning & Economic Development Committee.
SUMMARY: The City Council adopted Ordinance 3722 in 2004 amending Chapter
12.02 of the Kent City Code (KCC) to establish a docketing process as required by
the Growth Management Act (GMA). In 2007, Council adopted Ordinance 3847
which amended the procedural and substantive requirements for docket application
submittals. At their November 101h meeting, the Planning and Economic
Development Committee recommended approval of the 2008 Annual Docket Report
(Attachment A).
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND: The Growth Management Act outlined a procedure for
jurisdictions to follow that assists the public in making suggested amendments to
the Comprehensive Plan, development regulations, and growth policies on an
annual basis. "Docketing" refers to compiling and maintaining a list of suggested
changes to the Comprehensive Plan or development regulations to ensure they will
be considered by the City and will be available for review by the public. The
deadline for filing a docket item is the same as for the annual map amendments,
i.e., the first business day of September.
The 2008 Annual Docket Report contains a total of six (6) items for consideration,
all submitted this year. This year we received no applications for privately initiated
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendments.
Dkt-2008-1
The City of Kent Public Works Transportation Division proposes an amendment of
the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities Element (Chapter 8) to show
current inventory of streets as recorded by Public Works Operations crews in the
summer of 2008. This proposal also suggests text revisions to the Capital Facilities
Element to reference the Transportation Master Plan adopted in June 2008.
Dkt-2008-2
The City of Kent Parks & Recreation Department proposes an amendment of the
City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Parks & Open Space Element (Chapter 10). By
incorporating the City of Kent Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan (CPRP) into
the Comprehensive Plan by reference, the amendment would reflect proposed
changes in existing conditions and achievement of policy objectives described in the
operating plan of the City of Kent Parks & Recreation Department. The CPRP
update has been undertaken to ensure eligibility for Washington State Recreation
and Conservation Office grants in May 2010. The Parks Department anticipates
completion of the CPRP update in 2009. The proposal may have policy implications
for other planning and regulatory documents of the City (e.g. Transportation
Element with regards to trails).
Dkt-2008-3 ,
The City of Kent Public Works Design Engineering Division proposes an amendment
of the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities Element (Chapter 8) to
incorporate by reference the City of Kent Comprehensive Sewer Plan (CSP) with
proposed changes to existing conditions and policy language. The CSP was last
updated in 2002, and King County requires comprehensive sewerage plans to be
updated every six years. The Public Works Department anticipates completion of
the Comprehensive Sewer Plan in 2009.
Dkt-2008-4
The City of Kent Fire Department/ Fire District #37 (KFD-37) proposes to amend
the City of Kent Comprehensive Plan to include a new Fire Protection Element that
considers policies, facilities and operations for the entirety of the Fire District #37
service area. The Concurrency Management Plan (and Land Capacity Analysis) is
proposed for incorporation by reference. Background text and policy amendments
to other Comprehensive Plan Elements (e.g. Capital Facilities Element) and
operating plans of the City (e.g. 2008 Water System Plan) may be necessary to
maintain consistency.
Dkt-2008-5
Several mapping discrepancies were identified as a result of an effort to convert the
City of Kent's geographic information system (GIS) parcel data into a geodatabase.
An operating geodatabase would allow for more complex analytical questions to be
asked of our GIS. To resolve the mapping discrepancies, the City of Kent Planning
Services Division proposes to amend the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and
the Zoning District Map to reconcile split-designations on parcels throughout the
City to ensure GMA consistency.
Dkt-2008-6
The City of Kent Public Works Design Engineering Division proposes an amendment
to the City of Kent Water System Plan (WSP) to include the finalized executive
summary and signature pages. If necessary, the Comprehensive Plan Capital
Facilities Element (Chapter 8) may be amended as part of this proposal.

the City maintains are city and state streets totaling 245.3 centerline miles.
There are 53.95 lane miles of Principal Arterials; 116.25 lane miles of Minor
Arterials; 145.04 lane miles of Collector Streets; and 244.24 lane miles of
Residential Streets. There are also fourteen (14) bridges in Kent. A
complete assessment of transportation facilities is considered in the
Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element and in the Transportation Master
Plan which was adopted in June 2008. Figures 9.3 through 9.24 found in the
Transportation Element illustrate# Kent's existing and planned transportation
facilities.

GH1-2 PSD4098.6/30/08 p.I of 3
PROPOSAL TO UPDATE THE CITY'S SANITARY SEWER t
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Considerable changes have occurred in the Kent area since the previous plan
was completed in 2002. Improvements completed include the completion of
various capital improvement projects recommended in the previous plan.
Also, the needs of the sewer system have changed.
In addition to the capital improvements constructed by the City, a number of
developer extensions have been installed to accommodate the substantial
growth in the Kent area. Several areas, previously on septic systems
(primarily residential), formed Local Improvement Districts for the extension
of sewers.
The above described improvements not only provided service to previously
unsewered areas, they made sewer more readily obtainable to other
unsewered areas.
In recent years the City has identified a number of older sewer lines that
need replacement so a replacement plan is needed. Also, repairs and
upgrades on existing pump stations are now needed.
With the anticipated increases in cost for treatment and disposal of
wastewater through King County, the City is interested in exploring
alternatives.
It is anticipated that a sewer rate increase will be necessary in the near
future. Therefore, a rate study is needed to determine rates for both the
current method of disposal and should proposed alternative means of
treatment and disposal be implemented.
These changes necessitate updating the plan to meet the changing
conditions. In addition, King County requires a plan update every six years,
therefore Kent's plan is due for an update.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of the update is to develop a comprehensive sewerage plan that
allows a logical and cost-effective development of facilities in the area served
by the City of Kent.
The plan will present policy and design criteria and recommend facility
improvements. The plan will also document the current status and analyze
the future needs of the sanitary sewer system. The plan will be used as a
guide in maintaining and improving the sanitary sewer system over the next
six years in order to provide the Kent sewer service area with an effective,
safe and reliable sewer system.
The scope of work to update the plan is summarized as follows:
• Document the history and background of Kent's sewer system.
• Describe the sewer service area.
• Coordinate the plan with other relevant land use and comprehensive
plans.
• Review land use patterns, zoning and population data.
• Document existing sewer system facilities.
• Propose future improvements to service the remainder of the service
area.
• Define sewer design criteria and relevant City of Kent Policies and
standards.
• Recommend capital facility improvements including replacements with
cost estimates and scheduling.
• Analyze alternative treatment options and disposal options.
• Discuss infiltration and inflow.
• Review the use of septic systems in the City and provide plans to
reduce the number of such systems.
• Identify areas to add to the current sewer service area.
• Summarize financing methods for recommended facility
improvements.
• Review sewer rates and other fees and charges.
• Document Kent's maintenance and operation program for sewer
facilities.
• Recommend a public information program.
Although the provision of sewer service is an important factor in determining
the pattern and timing of urban development, the plan itself is not intended
to serve as a land use plan. The purpose of the plan with respect to
undeveloped areas is to provide a framework for serving these areas if they
are developed. Decisions regarding the overall desirability and feasibility of
developing any given area should consider the plan as one of many factors.

policies for service delivery ensuring the intent of the GMA by providing
fire services and facilities concurrently with development and protecting
the health, safety and welfare of the public. Concurrency planning for
fire services is a key factor in this goal. Adopting a Fire Services Element
is also supported by sections III.C.2, V.C.CC-5, and VII of the County Wide
Planning Policies.

GH1-2 PSD4098.6/30/08 p.1of3
Application Name: Reconciling Split Designation Parcels i
Docket #: -pKf- GPI-2008- 5
The amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Maps for the 2008
docket are citywide in scope. These changes are proposed in order to meet
the goals and policies of the Growth Management Act by reconciling the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Zoning District Maps. In an effort to
prepare for conversion of Kent geographic information system parcels into a
geodatabase, several mapping discrepancies emerged. The scope of the
project has increased as a small number of initially identified parcels have
been supplemented by a larger number of parcels found to be in discrepancy.
Many of the parcel-based mapping discrepancies noted have an inconsistency
between Comprehensive Plan Land Use and/or Zoning Districts Map
designations. In a few cases, these discrepancies make for non-conforming
use status on parcels. Generally, these proposed changes have no
anticipated, significant adverse impacts on the general public health, safety
and welfare.
The scope of work for this item as submitted for inclusion in the 2008 annual
work program is to:
(1) Correct mapping discrepancies found in the Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map and Zoning District Map to ensure consistency per GMA;
and
(2) To address designations for properties with existing uses that are
supported by one map designation and not the other map designation
(e.g. auto dealer parcel zoned General Commercial in area with SF-8
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation).
Where feasible and appropriate, it is proposed that one designation apply to
the whole parcel. Where this is not feasible, appropriate, or consistent with
other policies, it is proposed that the split designations follow appropriate
zoning or land use boundaries, physical features, or utilize other designation
methods that are grounded in current policies.

All three of the sections that I noted in the memo were revised due to omissions in the
original text. We did not feel that any of the changes would require an amendment to the
Council approval.
Did Charlene mention to you that we will be adding a Wholesale Water Service Area to the
Plan after we receive comments from the WA. Department of Health? This will require an
amendment to the Council approved plan, and we're assuming a Comp. Plan amendment.
We expect comments in January.

Chad,
I passed over the omission of the Executive Summary in my earlier reviews. In brief, I
wouldn't anticipate departures from the Council-adopted document to feature at this time.
With this in mind, could you elaborate on the substantive changes to the Kent 2008 WSP, if
any, resulting from the addition of Item 4 (Exec Summary)? The October 22nd cover memo
you attached refers to "...minor changes to the Water Demands, System Analysis, and CIP

Background/History:
McDonough & Sons, Inc. has been Contract Sweeping for the City of Kent since 2002 and has
performed exceptionally throughout the year. We are currently trying to exercise the first option
of a four year option process.
With increases from the added curb footage, there will be no Unbudgeted Fiscal/Personal Impact
as the funding ($182,175.60) will come from the 2009 operating budget. We are requesting the
Mayor sign Change Order No. 1, allowing us to continue the Sweeping Service Agreement to
avoid the possibility of higher costs should we solicit for other proposals.

Subject: Residential Parking Zone for North Park Neighborhood
MOTION: Recommend Council adopt the proposed ordinance in a form
similar to that presented to the Committee, which establishes a
Residential Parking Zone in the North Park Neighborhood to offset
parking impacts related to the Kent Events Center.
SUMMARY:
The Kent Events Center is currently scheduled to open in January 2009. Although
there is adequate onsite parking provided, the City anticipates that some events
may result in the displacement of residential parking in the North Park
Neighborhood. The Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement issued for
the Kent Events Center project provided that as part of its development approval,
the City must create a Residential Parking Zone (RPZ) within the North Park
Neighborhood. Through its administration of an RPZ program, the City will be able
to regulate parking within the neighborhood ensuring that surface street parking is
reserved for neighborhood residents.
Each residence within the neighborhood will receive, free of charge, 4 window decal
permits and 15 hang-tag visitor permits, which are valid for two years. Upon a
demonstrated need, the City will make additional permits available. The ordinance
further provides that permits are to be used only for parking by residents and their
guests, and may be subject to revocation if used for any other purpose.
' The cities of Bellevue, Olympia, Bellingham, and Edmonds have similar RPZ
programs.
iBUDGET IMPACT:
At this time, the only cost City staff anticipates is the cost to issue the parking
permits. This expense will be paid for within existing the City's existing budget.

RE: RE-APPOINTMENT AND APPOINTMENT TO KENT HUMAN SERVICES
COMMISSION
I am requesting Council's confirmation of my re-appointment of Roda Barket to the
Kent Human Services Commission for another one-year term. Ms. Barket has
made valuable contributions to the Human Services Commission and was an active
participant in the application process reading over 1500 pages of information and
developing recommendations based on the information. She was able to bring the
youth perspective to the funding discussions helping other Commissioners
understand what services youth found valuable. I am pleased to reappoint
Roda to the Human Services Commission. Her new term will expire on January 1,
2010.
I am also requesting appointment of David Ott to the Human Services Commission
to fill the vacancy left by Maya Vengadasalam. Mr. Ott comes highly recommended
for this appointment by Human Services staff. Mr. Ott owns and operates three
family businesses here in Kent: SeaTac Transmission, SeaTac Parts Wharehouse
and SeaTac Automotive. David has lived in Kent for the majority of his life, now
raising his family here. Mr. Ott stated he would consider appointment to the
Human Services Commission as a privilege and will work hard to best serve the City
on this commission. I am pleased to recommend David Ott for the Human Services
Commission for a three-year term. Mr. Ott's term will begin on January 1, 2009
and will expire on January 1, 2012.
I submit these appointments for your confirmation.

1. SUBJECT: KENT EVENTS CENTER NAMING RIGHTS AGREEMENT
2. SUMMARY STATEMENT: On July 26, 2007, the Kent City Council
authorized the Mayor to take all acts necessary to construct the Kent Events
Center and to enter into a 30-year license agreement with the Thunderbirds as
the Center's anchor tenant. As part of the City's agreement with the
Thunderbirds, the team is the authorized agent to sell advertising and naming
rights for the Center. In furtherance of Council's directive, the Thunderbirds, in
consultation with city staff, pursued several naming right opportunities and
identified Vision One, Inc. as a naming rights partner.
' On October 7th, 2008, City Staff informed Council that the City had reached
agreement with Vision One, Inc. to name the building after their primary product,
"ShoWare," which is a comprehensive on-line ticketing and box office manage-
ment system. The facility will be named the 'ShoWare Center at Kent" and the
ShoWare Center logo will appear prominently on the building, in the arena and on
all promotional materials.
The ShoWare system will be used to manage ticket sales for the Center and the
Seattle Thunderbirds through a separate five-year plus five-year renewal contract
between SMG, the Center operator, and Vision One. In return, Vision One, Inc.
agrees to pay the City $3,175,000 over 10.5 years through equal quarterly

3. RECOMMENDATION FOR AUTHORIZATION OF STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
OF THE APPEALS PHASE FOR THE NON-REPRESENTED CLASSIFICATION
AND COMPENSATION SUDY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL, TECHNICAL, AND
ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS IN THE "MOUNT OF $34,150.00 PROVIDED
FOR IN THE 2008 BUDGET.
Benefits Manager Beck Fowler advised that the Employee Services Department
9 Y P
conducted the 2008 Non-Represented Classification and Compensation Study for
the professional, technical, and administrative support positions throughout the
City. After approval from Council, it went into effect on July 1, 2008. The total cost
of implementation for the remainder of 2008 (six months) was $191,910.00. The
total cost for a twelve-month period would have been $383,820.00. In the 2008
budget, $350,000 was set aside to implement the classification and compensation
study on July 1, 2008, for the remaining six months of the year. Fowler further
noted that there was an appeals process that allowed incumbents to discuss the
initial recommendation of their positions and make a case in front of panel
members from the task force. The appeals process has been completed. There
were twenty-four classifications that appealed. The task force approved
compensation increases for sixteen of the twenty-four classifications. The
appellants will receive the new salaries retroactively paid back to July 1, 2008.
Fowler further advised that the cost of implementing the appeal decisions for the
remainder of 2008 (six months) is $34,150.50. When the $34,150.50 is combined
Operations Committee Minutes
October 7, 2008
Page: 2
with the increases given on July, 1 2008, the total cost for implementation for the
remainder of 2008 is $226,061. This is still considerably less than the amount
budgeted in the 2008 budget. If approved, the total cost for a twelve-month period
would be $452,122. Fowler was pleased to note that the project came in on time
and under budget for 2008. This also concludes all of the phases of the current
compensation study. Budget_Impact is as follows:
$34,150.50 (6-month 2008 cost)
$68,301.00 (12-month cost)
The last salary review for this group of Non-Represented employees was conducted
in 2002. This is in contrast to the City's represented employees who are reviewed
every three years during the collective bargaining process. Conducting the
compensation study allows the City to remain competitive in the labor market,
affording the City the ability to recruit and retain high quality staff. Questions were
raised by the Committee which Fowler responded to.
Thomas moved that the Committee accept authorization of staff t
recommendations of the appeals phase for the Non-Represented Classification
and Compensation Study for the professional, technical, and administrative
positions in the amount of $34,150.00 provided for in the 2008 budget.
Raplee seconded the motion which passed 3-0.
4. RECOMMENDATION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT
WITH MANCOM, INC. FOR $93,846.00 PLUS WASHINGTON STATE SALES
TAX FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF A NEW FIRING RANGE
TARGETING SYSTEM, SUBJECT TO FINAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
ACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY ATTORNEY.
Parks and Community Services Facilities Superintendent Charlie Lindsey advised
that at the request of the Police Department, Parks Facilities advertised a Request
for Proposals for a new targeting system at the Firing Range. Two responses were
received: Mancom, Inc. at $93,846.00, plus sales tax and Meggitt, Inc. at
$91,868.00, plus sales tax.
Lindsey noted that Mancom, Inc offered the city a state-of-the-art system with 21s
century technology using Windows XP and touch screens. Meggitt, Inc. offered a
system identical to the one being replaced, using Windows 98 with a 386 m/h
computer processing unit. The Police Department evaluated both proposals and,
based on system needs, recommends awarding the contract to Mancom, Inc. for
$93,846.00, plus sales tax. The exhibit includes the RFP cover sheet, summary of
proposals, and draft contract. The project is budgeted through Police funds.
Questions were raised by the committee specifically regarding what sort of training
the system actually provides. The Police Department's Lieutenant Sprague, in
charge of the training division, described the targeting system and responded to
further questions. The Committee also raised questions regarding the cost
depreciation of the system which Finance Director Bob Nachlinger responded to.
Raplee moved to recommend that the Operations Committee authorize the
Mayor to sign the agreement with Mancom, Inc. for $93,846.00 plus

MAY BE DEPOSITED TO FUND EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE TO DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE VICTIMS, AMEND THE BUDGET AS REQUIRED, AND AUTHORIZE
EXPENDITURE OF THESE FUNDS FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE TO
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS AND RATIFY ALL ACTS CONSISTENT WITH
THIS MOTION.
In 2007 the Kent Police Department responded to 6,880 domestic violence
incidents. Over 1,000 of those cases involved assaults where an arrest was made.
City Attorney Tom Brubaker explained that in an effort to help protect domestic
violence victims that are at the greatest risk of harm, the Law Department has
established a program to provide emergency travel, -shelter, and meal assistance to
domestic violence victims. This program is funded not only by community
donations, but also by the department's cell phone recycling program. Brubaker
further explained that the department's victim advocates collect donated cell
phones, and in exchange, Shelter Alliance remits a nominal fee to the City for each
phone recycled. In 2007, Shelter Alliance remitted $1,787 to the City for recycled
cell phones. So far in 2008 the City has received an additional $138. In
recognition of October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Law
Department requests Council approve establishment of a project account into which
community donations and cell phone recycling revenue may be deposited, amend
the budget as required, and authorize the expenditure of these funds on emergency
assistance to domestic violence victims. There will not be any Budget Impact.
Questions were raised by the Committee which Brubaker responded to. Brubaker
also noted that anyone wishing to make a donation may bring their cell phone to:
Kent City Hall, City Attorney's Office, a Floor, 220 Fourth Avenue South, Kent, WA
98032.
Thomas moved to recommend Council establish a project account into which
community donations and cell phone recycling revenue may be deposited to
fund emergency assistance to domestic violence victims, amend the budget as
required, and authorize expenditure of these funds for emergency assistance to
domestic violence victims and ratify all acts consistent with this motion.
Raplee seconded the motion which passed 3-0.

Committee Members Chair Elizabeth Albertson, Ron Harmon, Tim Clark.
Albertson called the meeting to order.
Apuroval of Minutes
Harmon MOVED and Clark SECONDED to approve the minutes of August 11, 2008.
Motion PASSED 3-0.
CPA-2008-2 Cottage Housing Demonstration Ordinance
Planner Katie Heinitz stated that a proposal for a cottage housing demonstration
ordinance was presented to the Planning & Economic Development Committee on
April 14, 2008 prompted by interest expressed by the Council, home-builders, and
property owners in Kent.
Heinitz stated that this subject was discussed with the Land Use and Planning Board
(LUPB) at workshops held on June 9 and August 11, 2008, followed by two public
hearings on August 25 and September 22, 2008.
Heinitz stated that the LUPB took testimony from Linda Pruitt of the Cottage
Company, King County Association of Realtors, Master Builders Association, Jay
Marc Development, and several Kent property owners at the August 25th hearing.
Heinitz defined cottage housing developments as consisting of small detached
single family residences, clustered around large common open space areas with
garages and parking clustered together away from the homes.
Heinitz stated that these components create a small community feel and encourage
neighbor interaction unique to cottage housing developments. She stated that this
housing type is not currently offered in Kent, though it is gaining popularity
throughout the Northwest.
Heinitz stated that staff evaluated eight (8) cities in the Puget Sound region that
are pursuing or have built cottage housing projects. She stated that this ordinance
would allow up to two demonstration projects in Kent, expand housing choices, and
create more housing diversity.
Heinitz stated that staff has tailored a demonstration ordinance through researching
what has been successful in other local cities demonstration ordinances, and
incorporating some new standards.
Heinitz stated that the LUPB voted to approve the ordinance as recommended by
staff, and reducing the maximum number of demonstration developments allowed
from three to two projects.

Planner Erin George stated that demonstration projects will be chosen by a
selection committee comprised of managers from Engineering, Planning, Economic
Development, and the Chairs of the Land Use and Planning Board and the Planning
and Economic Development Committee.
George stated that the committee will use extensive criteria to select a maximum of
two quality projects from submitted proposals. She stated that the selected
projects will be intensively reviewed by staff as short plats, or long plats depending
on the number of lots with additional design review criteria considered.
George stated that once the projects are constructed, the City will have opportunity
to evaluate the results to determine if cottage housing works in Kent and what
changes are needed to adopt a permanent ordinance. She stated that staff has
seen many nice developments throughout the region and has tried to design this
ordinance in a way that will achieve similar results in Kent.
George stated that cottage housing is an innovative housing product that the city
wants to approach incrementally. She stated that some building standard
requirements relate to large common open space, covered porches, greater tree
retention, enhanced landscaping, and common buildings.
Harmon stated that he would like cottage housing restricted to SR-8 or higher
zoning districts due to the large footprint and density requirements associated with
this type of development.
Heinitz stated that the demonstration ordinance allows cottage housing
developments in Multifamily (MF) zones, in SR 4.5, SR 6 and SR 8 single family
residential zones. She stated that these developments are single family detached
homes by nature and fit well in single family zones.
Heinitz stated that restricting cottage housing to MF zones and SR-8 would hinder
opportunities to receive good project proposals. She stated that allowing a broader
range of zones in which these developments could happen would increase the
number of available sites in Kent. The number of quality proposals would increase.
Heinitz stated that 6 dwelling units per acre are allowed in a SR-6 zone, unless
developers incorporate low impact development techniques (better environment
practices) which would allow up to 12 dwelling units per acre.
Harmon stated that a developer wishing to maximize the return on his investment t
could build up to 12 dwelling units per acre with density bonuses, thereby doubling
the number of units on SR-6 zoned property. He stated that he is opposed to that
type of density which he feels would not be compatible with surrounding
neighborhoods, increase traffic on already overburdened streets which could then
potentially jeopardize the health, safety and welfare of the single family residents.
Harmon stated that he supports Build-Green and would encourage low-impact
development.

Community Development Director Fred Satterstrom stated that density bonuses are
not guaranteed. He stated that density bonuses are not automatically allowed, and
that approval of any density greater than six dwelling units per acre in an SR-6
zone would be at the discretion of the selection committee. He stated that density
bonuses relate to low impact development and the overall quality of the
development.
Satterstrom implored the Committee members to recognize this as a demonstration
project, voicing his belief that the last thing the city would want to do is to approve
a project that is out of character with the rest of the neighborhood with respect to
density or quality standards.
Harmon opined that the demonstration ordinance should include an option to allow
developers to put in underground vaults in order to maximize build-out as was
allowed in Kirkland's cottage housing development.
George stated that at this time Kent's Surface Water Design Manual indicates that
vaults are only allowed on a site by site basis and generally not in single family
zones. She stated that Kent's environmental engineering staff has indicated that
vaults are not a preferred option for effective water quality treatment and are not
easy to maintain.
George stated that Kent will update the Surface Water Design Manual in August
2009 to comply with State requirements but is unaware of what will be in that
update with respect to vaults.
Heinitz responded to comments from the committee, by stating that the section of
the ordinance referring to the treatment of storm water does not refer to vaults but
rather to low-impact development techniques for water collection and the
disbursement of that water to storage areas such as bioswales or rain gardens.
She stated that the use of those techniques would decrease the size of a storm
water pond but not necessarily replace it.
Harmon questioned why a proposal submitted to the city a few months ago, for a
cottage housing development failed. Satterstrom stated that the subject site was
zoned MRG, 16 units per acre, which is the number of units the developer proposed
to build. He stated that the site would not have accommodated 16 units per acre
based on the elements associated with building a cottage housing development.
Satterstrom stated that the demonstration ordinance proposes capping those 16
units per acre densities at 12 units to the acre.
Satterstrom stated that staff indicated (based on what they have seen) that 8.0
single family units per acre is a favorable density and increasing densities beyond
that point compromises open space, parking, and open detention areas.
Albertson stated that the density in terms of units count per acre is not as much an
issue as how the development is laid out. She stated that a three acre parcel is
different than a one acre parcel in how you can lay it out. There are variables such
PEDC-Minutes
October 13, 2008
Page 3 of 8

as the footprint of the unit, and the characteristics of the land to consider in
determining the density of the development.
Satterstrom stated that the floor area of the cottage houses are limited to 1500 1
square feet or less and the carriage houses to 800 square feet or less.
George stated that the demonstration ordinance includes safeguards to help offset
density concerns, such as smaller homes and higher tree retention requirements.
Harmon opined that bonuses could be offered to offset permit fees rather than used
to encourage density. George stated that offering density bonuses is important to
offset those key elements of cottage housing that involve greater risk and cost to
the developer.
In response to inquiry from Harmon, George stated that the city is currently
undergoing an extensive reiteration of its permitting process to increase efficiency.
George stated that staff felt that the cost of a cottage development would be best
offset by allowing several more houses via density bonuses versus decreasing
permitting fees.
Satterstrom stated that this demonstration ordinance allows developers a period of
six months to submit their plans to the city but does not give them a right to build
a cottage housing project without the city's permission. He stated that the
ordinance sets up a process whereby a panel of representatives from the City
review proposals submitted within a six month period and determine if any of those
submittals have merit to move forward.
George stated that if the review committee is not satisfied with the proposals that l
have been submitted, the submittal period may be extended for an additional six
months. George stated that the Council has the authority to extend the submittal
period beyond the one year if needed in order to select an appropriate proposal.
George stated that in order for a demonstration project to be built, a developer
must meet the selection criteria for approval, then apply for either a short plat or
plat depending on the number of lots, and follow the normal development process
from there.
Clark MOVED to approve and adopt the Cottage Housing Demonstration Ordinance
as recommended by the Land Use and Planning Board. Albertson SECONDED the
MOTION. The Committee deliberated further.
Clark voiced his support for this demonstration ordinance, stating that it fits the
framework of the Building Green attitude Kent is trying to embrace, and is a
transition into a more urban life style. He stated that a demonstration ordinance
will fulfill a need in the community for another housing option.
Albertson stated that cottage housing provides an option for those living in the
9 9 P P 9
community who no longer want a large house or a condominium life style. She

voiced her belief that there won't be a worse-case scenario with respect to density,
voicing her support for the demonstration ordinance.
Harmon stated that he does not support demonstration projects in established SR-
4.5 and SR-6.0 zoning districts, he would like underground vaults to be included as
an option, and would like to have bonuses evaluated in reference to permit costs.
Whereby, Harmon stated that he would vote NO.
Albertson called for the vote. Motion PASSED 2-1 with Harmon OPPOSED.
Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Contract
Satterstrom stated that the City's 13 year old Comprehensive Plan (EIS) needs to
be updated. He stated that the city completes many non-project actions including
the annual adoption of the Capital Improvements Plan and modification of the
Capital Facilities Plan.
Satterstrom stated a number of government actions that the City undertakes
require SEPA review. Rather than generate a separate environmental EIS for these
actions, Kent relies on its Comprehensive Plan, filing an addendum to the
Comprehensive Plan, a simplified way to complete an environmental analysis. He
stated that an addendum is a legal and appropriate method for completing an
environmental review for actions which the comprehensive plan has predicted.
Satterstrom stated that the City's Capital Improvements Program has allocated
$150,000 in funds that will allow the City to collaborate with a firm to develop a
new Environmental Impact Statement. Satterstrom stated that an Environmental
Analysis and a Planned Action Ordinance (PAO) for Midway will be completed (an
economic incentive for future development in that area consistent with that PAO).
Harmon MOVED to authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with ICF Jones and
Stokes, not to exceed $150,000 for a Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact
Statement and Planned Action Ordinance as presented in this proposed Scope of
Work dated August 2008. Clark SECONDED the MOTION. Motion PASSED 3-0.
Planning Services 2008 Work Program
Principal Planner, Matt Gilbert (Acting Planning Manager for Charlene Anderson),
reported on the work program. He stated that the Planning Department is divided
into current and long range planning. Gilbert stated that there are five current
planners who work on projects such as land use actions and permitting. There are
two long-range planners who work on policy, comprehensive plans and longer
range projects.
Gilbert stated that staff has calculated approximately 9,300 hours will be used to
complete current planning tasks; major and minor developments and mega
projects. Gilbert stated that with the five current planners we are adequately
staffed to handle this year's work load.
PEDC-Minutes

Gilbert stated that current planning staff has been utilized to work on projects like
the Cottage Housing Ordinance, and the Shoreline Master Program Update in an
effort to augment the long range planning staff's efforts.
Gilbert stated that staff is currently working on the Shoreline Master Program
Update, a long range planning effort, mandated by the State. He stated that right
now staff is involved in a public outreach phase of that program, targeted for
completion by mid 2009.
Gilbert stated that Satterstrom and Osborne are participating in efforts to prepare
for annexation of the Panther Lake area, with pre-annexation zoning efforts taking
place in 2009.
Gilbert stated that staff is updating the Subdivision Code for consistency with the
Public Works standards, and the State subdivision laws, as well as streamlining the
code to minimize redundancy and make it more comprehensible.
Gilbert stated that Gloria Gould-Wessen is spending a majority of her time directing
the Kent and Des Moines Midway project effort, as the result of a grant received
from Community Trade & Economic Development. He stated that staff is in the
public outreach stage of that effort and look forward to seeing a solid plan in place
for revitalization of the Midway area.
Clark opined that one of the failings within the city's fire department has been their
inability to keep up to speed in terms of emergency service response times,
particularly along the edges of those areas the City is responsible for. He
questioned whether that should be part of the infrastructure discussed in the
Growth Management Act, stating that this discussion is likely to end up in Olympia
in the coming session.
Clark stated that emergency service criteria are based on response time. He stated
that as staff builds the GMA, they need to evaluate the infrastructure with respect
to compatibility with adjoining jurisdictions. He stated that Renton has moved their
services further north, placing Kent in the position to respond to incidents within
Renton's jurisdiction. This type of situation has stretched Kent's emergency
services too thin, creating situations that have compromised emergency service
response times.
Clark stated that the GMA should incorporate how the city's infrastructure should
look with respect to public safety and how the city will allocate their resources as a
result of new commercial district growth, neighborhood density increases, changes
in terms of roadways and connections, or the ability to respond to injury accidents.
He stated that these issues are a fundamental part of the GMA. Clark questioned if
staff were devoting time to assess what the city has and what the city's
expectations would be were such an infrastructure item to be placed inside the
GMA.
PEDC-Minutes
October 13, 2008
Page 6of8

Satterstrom stated that the GMA allows fire districts to charge a growth fee for
certain capital costs, stating that Kent has only assessed those fees once, for the
Riverview development. Satterstrom stated that fire districts are getting more
aggressive and believes that the GMA can address the fire districts' capital needs
portion.
Gilbert stated that the district model might be an appropriate way to look at fire
departments. He stated that specific development regulations could be
I implemented that support response times in areas where other districts cross
interlocal boundaries. Gilbert stated that these regulations could result in the
actual service area being responsible for its self and its response times, as well as
regulate the manner in which it interacts with Growth Management and with other
development standards within the cities it serves.
Expiration of Short Plats
Harmon stated that short plats have a two year life span from the time a proposal
is submitted until the developer is required to provide a bond. He stated that the
ability to obtain a bond has become difficult within the last 30-60 days, questioning
how many plats are due to expire and asking how staff will deal with this.
Satterstrom stated that currently a short plat must be completed within two years
of approval (one year with a one year extension). Satterstrom stated that staff is
proposing extending the time frame for finalizing short plats by an additional year.
He stated that several developers or their representatives are experiencing
difficulties closing out their short plats, due to their inability to obtain bonds, as
financial institutions have recently frozen money.
Satterstrom stated that State law allows up to five years for the finalization of both
short and long plats. Satterstrom stated that Council recently passed new
residential development standards which leave little incentive for the developer to
allow his plat to expire and re-file under the new standards. He stated that staff
recommends three years rather than five years as some development should
conform to the new standards.
Gilbert stated that 13 plats have expired to date, citing bonding issues, park impact
fee issues, and the weeding out of plats through the preliminary approval and
feasibility study process. He stated that 3 of the 13 plats expired due to bond or
park impact fee issues. Gilbert stated that the expired short plats would need to be
resubmitted as a new application under the new residential development standards.
Gilbert stated that approximately 40 to 50 short plats were filed in 2005-2006.
Gilbert stated that staff's proposal will be considered this evening at the LUPB
Workshop with a hearing likely to occur on October 27th, then on to the PEDC in
November.
City Attorney Tom Brubaker stated that staff will need to conduct further research
on the feasibility of extending a three year time period to current applications. He
PEDC-Minutes

stated that not only is the applicant currently vested to a one year permit process,
but those neighbors who are in favor of or opposed to that application, rely on that
one year vesting period. Brubaker stated that if the City were to grant an
automatic extension, and let the developer continue to vest, where perhaps new
environmental regulations might come into play, or new setbacks and new
standards, the City might face opposition from the community. Brubaker stated
that staff will craft some options and bring them back to the Committee.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MINUTES
for OCTOBER 20, 2008
Committee Members Present: Committee Chair Deborah Ranniger and Committee
Members Debbie Raplee and Ron Harmon were present. The meeting was called to
order at 5:10 p.m.
ITEM 1 - Approval of Minutes Dated October 6, 2008:
Committee Member Raplee moved to approve the minutes of October 6, 2008.
The motion was seconded by Harmon and passed 3-0.
ITEM 2 - Proposed LID 363: S. 2241h Street Project AKA: 228th1224th Corridor
East Lea (EVH to SR 515):
Design Engineering Supervisor Chad Bieren stated that his purpose tonight is to ask
committee members to consider setting a public hearing date of December 9, 2008 for
the formation of LID 363. A brief PowerPoint presentation followed. Bieren went on to
explain, that there are approximately 900 properties in the area of S. 224th Street that
would be included in the L.I.D. The City completed the SEPA process and the City
Council selected the alternative to proceed with, in order to build the project LID 363
needs to be formed. Property owners were sent an informational letter notifying them
180 days in advance of the formation hearing and providing them the opportunity to
complete a traffic study in accordance with the Environmental Mitigation Agreement
(EMA) to adjust the number of trips associated with their property. The City developed
an L.I.D. proposal and informed all of the property owners involved. We are ready to
proceed with the L.I.D. formation and project design. Bieren further stated that this
public hearing would only involve formation of the LID, not the value of individual
assessments, which would be taken care of during the final LID hearing late next year.
Harmon moved to recommend City Council adopt the Resolution of Intent
setting a public hearing date for December 9, 2008 on the formation of L.I.D.
363. The motion was seconded by Raplee and passed 3-0.
ITEM 3 - Transit Now - Service Partnership Agreement with King County Metro
Transit for new Route 913:
Senior Transportation Planner, Cathy Mooney gave an overview of the Transit Now
program and the proposed partnership agreement with King County to start a new
circulating shuttle Route 913. Mooney went on to say there is no new effect to the City
Budget. She further explained that this is project #43 in the adopted 2008-2013 Six
Year Transportation Improvement Program and is project #39 in the Draft 2009-2014
Six Year TIP. The amount has already been included in the proposed 2009 budget.
Mooney went on to explain that this is a route that residents to the west have requested
for many years. Committee members requested that an update on this route's ridership
be brought back to committee once the route is established.
Raplee moved to recommend authorization for the Mayor to sign the Transit
Service Direct Financial Partnership Agreement with King County Metro Transit
in the amount of $205,376.15 per year for six years, subject to the terms and
conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director. The
motion was seconded by Harmon and passed 3-0.

ITEM 4 — Information Only/Pavement Management:
Pavement Management Specialist, Charlie Burke gave an informative PowerPoint
presentation on the 2008 Street Pavement Assessment Project. His slide showed the
street network, categorized by class and miles. Burke also noted that all arterial,
collector and residential streets are surveyed annually. He then showed various slides
on what rutting, alligator cracking, and other defects look like. He made special note
that it is much more cost effective to keep up on pavement issues as they arise instead
of waiting until they get to the complete restoration stage. Burke also noted that there
is currently no capital budget for pavement maintenance and rehabilitation until 2011.
