7. Public Hearing
7.1 rZGk2012-31 Kent City Code (KCC) 15.07 Landscape Regulations Amendments
Planner Katie Graves stated that the proposed amendments relate to Landscaping
Regulations and related amendments to definitions in 15.02.086, 15.02.172 and 15.02.274.
The Board held discussions at their October 81h and November 26, 2012 workshops.
Graves stated that code amendments encourage low impact development techniques (LID)
such as integrating LID stormwater management facilities with required landscaping where
feasible; Adding language to define and address the incorporation of soil amendments (such
as composted material) within new landscape areas; Adding language to ensure that new
landscaping will be maintained and which stipulates that the Planning Director is authorized
to require a performance and landscape maintenance bond or other acceptable maintenance
assurance devices prior to permit issuance when deemed necessary.
Graves stated that additional amendments include reorganization of the General
Landscaping Requirements section, inclusion of a new regulations chart for specific districts'
section, and adding different specifications to the type of landscaping chart.
Graves submitted Exhibit 1 for the record, a set of documents outlining discussion between
public works and planning staff, with options for Section 15.02.086 and Section 15.07.050A.
Graves described three options for Section 15.02.086 Composted Material. Graves stated
that Option A is outlined in the packet. Option 8 is the same as Option A except for
language requiring composted materials meet contaminant standards according to the WAC
173-350 Section 220. Option C removes language that composted material must contain
40-65 percent organic matter and instead includes references to Best Management Practices
and the Washington State Department of Ecology Storm Water Management Manual and
also notes that the requirements of the WSDOT standards are acceptable.
Staff recommends Option B as this option includes all the requirements that environmental
engineering would like to see in compost. This option is easier to administer and explain
than Option C which is a catch-all for all the requirements that apply to compost.
Graves described two options for Section 15.07.050. Option A as proposed in the packet
requires trees to be a minimum of one and one-half inches at diameter breast height (DBH)
at time of planting. Staff is recommending Option B which removes dbh and details caliper
2
for size of trees at time of planting. Environmental engineering recommended this option as
'caliper inches' is a common standard used while selecting a tree at a nursery. Caliper
measurement is based on ANSI Standards.
Chair Gray declared the Public Hearing open.
Chuck Burget, 27310 145 Ct. SE, Kent stated that he is a certified arborist,
horticulturist, and state licensed landscape architect. He spoke in favor of the Caliper
measurement (an ANSI industry standard of a 2-inch diameter, 6 inch from ground level
measurement) used for local landscaping requirements. Burget recommended that staff
incorporate reference to the ANSI Standards where applicable with defining 'ground cover',
'shrubs' and plant size requirements. He submitted the ANSI standards for staff's review.
Burget stated that he supports the use of composted materials and explained why he
believes it would be difficult to accomplish from a practical standpoint. Burget spoke in favor
of the landscape maintenance requirements.
Chris Welch, 12905 SE 2471h Place, Kent stated that he is a certified arborist with a
degree in horticulture. He spoke in support of the Caliper measurement at 6 inches for new
plantings vs. the DBH measurement. Welch suggested including language referencing the
ANSI standards. He stated that improper pruning of trees is a safety issue. Therefore,
pruning standards should be included in the code in the maintenance section and language
should be included referencing the International Society of Arboreal Cultural Standards and
that requires certified arborist to either oversee or conduct the work.
Seeing no further speakers, Chair Gray, declared the public hearing closed.
After considering public testimony, the Board requested that staff develop language for
inclusion in the code that incorporates applicable sections of the ANSI standards by
reference.
Chair Gray MOVED and Phillips SECONDED a motion to continue the public hearing
on ZCA-2012-3 Kent City Code Chapter 15.07 Landscape Regulations to January
28, 2013, directing staff to evaluate applicable sections of the ANSI Standards for
incorporation into the Code by reference. Motion Carried 6-0.

RE: Code Amendments — Landscaping Regulations [ZCA-2012-3]
For the January 28, 2013 LUPB Hearing CONTINUED
MOTION: Recommend to the City Council approval of amendments to
KCC 15.07, Landscaping Regulations, with related amendments to
definitions in 15.02.086, 15.02.172 and 15.02.274, and including
recommendation of Option _, 15.07.050; and Option , 15.02.086,
as recommended by staff/as modified.
SUMMARY: This hearing is a continuation of the public hearing, held January 14,
2013, on proposed amendments to Kent City Code 15.07, 15.02.086, 15.02.172,
and 15.02.274. Public comment was received on January 14, 2013 that suggested
minor amendments to 15.07 (specifically 15.07.050, related to plant specifications
and consistency with ANSI standards). The attached code amendments include
options for 15.07.050 and 15.02.086, with staff recommendations that incorporate
public comment as well as comments previously received by staff prior to January
14tn
BACKGROUND: As part of the Council's Strategic Plan related to transforming
regulatory processes, staff presented a draft list of potential code amendments at
the Land Use and Planning Board workshop on July 11, 2011, which included
changes to Chapter 15.07, Landscaping Regulations. The attached code section
includes potential amendments that address the items on the list presented in July,
as well as other items that have since been deemed appropriate for revision. To be
consistent with the amendments proposed in 15.07, amendments to definitions in
15.02.086, 15.02.172 and 15.02.274 are also necessary. These amendments are
attached. Staff will be available at the public hearing to answer questions.
The amendments were determined not to have a significant, adverse environmental
impact, and a Determination of Nonsignificance was issued on November 26, 2012.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the amendments.
