INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN KENT AND FEDERAL WAY - (J. Harris)
Planning Director Jim Harris reviewed the proposed interlocal
agreement between Kent and Federal Way that was included in the
agenda packet. This interlocal agreement will officially establish
the Potential Annexation Area (PAA) boundary between the two cities
and will fulfill the intent of the City Council and the County -wide
Planning Policies. Regarding the map that was included in the
agenda packet, Mr. Harris stated the City would be conceding to all
the territory south of 272nd, and the only area that the City would
have a bone of contention with Federal Way is the area north of
272nd, west of I-5, east of Pacific Highway South, and a little
area north of there that could be in the City of Des Moines area.
The City we may be working with them. Mr. Harris reviewed four
raised questions from the memo in the packet. Jim recommended that
the Committee members wait to officially approve the agreement
until January 17, 1995, because the addendum has not yet been
received and more time is needed to clarify some other things. Jim
asked Tom Brubaker to call the new attorney from Federal Way who
has been assigned to this project.
Councilmember Clark MOVED and Councilmember Johnson SECONDED a
motion to approve this agreement in principal and for Jim Harris to

bring the refined agreement back to the Committee on January 17,
1994. Motion carried.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT UPDATE - (F. Satterstrom
Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom reported that the Planning
Commission with a struggle voted 5 to 4 to send the Comprehensive
Plan to the City Council. Several changes were made to the Plan.
The notebooks will be retrieved from the Council members for them
to be updated. Tentatively, a Council workshop is being set up for
January 17, 1995.
Fred reported a Concurrency Committee is being set up now as
required.
Also, Fred reported the County passed the Countywide Planning
Policies.
IMPACT FEES - (L. Orr)
City Attorney Roger Lubovich stated the Law Department can put
something together rather quickly with a review time of about 30
days. The problem currently is that Laurie Evezich is on maternity
leave. The Committee agreed that the Law Department would review
the file on school impact fees and bring back a draft ordinance to
the Committee in March or the first part of April. The
Administrative Assistant will keep this item as a pending item on
the Planning Department's meeting schedule, so this item is not
forgotten. It was stated a public process would occur with one or
two public hearings at the City Council in about May. Since it
takes 30 days for an ordinance to become effective, this ordinance
could be adopted in May to be effective before July 1, 1995, in
case this new annexation is decided to be effective as of July 1,
1995.
Fred High mentioned at the Committee meeting several things will
need to be done by Kent School District; therefore, he suggested
this item not go beyond March to have time to meet all the
requirements.
Bill Hicks, a representative from the Seattle King Association of
Realtors, stated the Association wasn't exactly for the idea of
school impact fees, but they are willing to work with the City of
Kent. He brought to the Committee a position paper for the record.

On the annexation issue, Chair Orr asked Roger Lubovich to find out
from the County if an interlocal agreement can be drawn up so the
Kent School District does not loose any impact fees in the
annexation area, in case this ordinance is not in place before the
possible effective date of the Meridian Annexation of July 1, 1995.
ADDED ITEMS:
SUBDIVISION CODE AMENDMENT RELATING TO SUBMISSION OF TITLE REPORTS
ON SUBDIVISION PLATS - (T. Brubaker)
Assistant City Attorney Tom Brubaker passed out a draft ordinance.
He reported that currently the City requires an applicant to submit
their final plat certificate or title report dated forty five (45)
days prior to the granting of the final plat. The amendment would
require a current plat certificate or title report from a title
insurance company that documents the ownership and title of all
interested parties in the plat, subdivision, or dedication and that
lists all encumbrances. Also, the City reserves the right to
require updates of the certificate or title report at any time
prior to the granting of the final plat by the City Council. This
gives the City Council a clear picture of what the ownership
interest is prior to the Council's final plat approval.
Councilmember Johnson MOVED and Councilmember Clark SECONDED a
motion to approve the ordinance relating to submission of title
reports on subdivision plats and to forward this item onto the
Council on January 3, 1995 under the consent calendar. Motion
carried.
