5. Meet Me on Meeker- Update on line survey results
Hayley Bonsteel and William Ellis presented outreach survey responses from the
community on how they access Meeker Street (walking, assisted mobility, driving a
vehicle or riding a bike). This survey was advertised through word-of-mouth, project
contacts and an article in the Kent Reporter. The survey received 225 responses as of
7-3-2017, and more are expected to come in.
The survey showed that 43% of survey takers reported that visiting a business is the
primary reason why they are accessing Meeker. The rest of the results show that a
third of self-reported drivers are commuters seeking to get to and from work. The
survey also asked what would compel you to visit meeker more often, top answers
include: If there were better businesses (28%), If it felt more welcoming and safe
(22%), If there were more opportunities for entertainment (19%), If there were more
parking (12%), If there were better lighting (10%) and If I could either walk or ride
my bicycle there from home.
Council Member Berrios would like concerns for traffic issues to be addressed
from residents from the West hill for housing that is now developing, and is
not contributing, currently to the data from these surveys.
Hayley and William will continue to bring updates of mitigating traffic by
transforming HOV lanes for better access to community members.
6. Villa Real Neighborhood
Toni Azzola Neighborhood Program coordinator presented to the council Lisa McSherry,
president of Vila Real Neighborhood. The neighborhood is west of Panther Lake to
include 128 homes. Lisa describes the neighborhood as diverse, made up of single-
family homes. She described the comradery of neighbors, and usage of play areas and
basketball courts. Lisa would like to access more resources such as translation to be
able to do outreach to help to continue to combine the diverse community.

Motion: Recommend Council adopt a resolution that recognizes the Vial Real
Neighborhood Council, supports its community building efforts, and confers

7. Sound Transit Service Agreement – Cost related to project review & permitting
Charlene Anderson presented an update to begin:
Anderson explained current work with Sound Transit for street designs, right of way and
widths. Sound Transit will be creating two new streets; 236 and 234, upgrading 30th
Street, improving 272nd, as well as access streets. The city is now working on a staff
level non-binding letter of concurrence so that Sound Transit can begin their property
acquisitions.
Anderson explained that work is also being done to access the feasibility of a Regional
Detention facility. Sound Transit will need to construct detention facilities for the new
roadways, under public ownership, as well as their own private detention needs. There is
also discussion on how to activate the first floor of the garage, in the form of activating
the exterior with artwork or including food carts/networks around the plaza. Anderson
expressed the need and want for council suggestions and feedback on this.
Transit Service Agreement:
Anderson presents for an approval of a funding agreement for retroactive city staff work
which began on January 12th after the City signed a memorandum of understanding with
Sound Transit. The presented funding agreement is for roughly $300,000, which would
hold as a cap amount for actual City staff time on the project.
Motion: Recommend to the full City Council approval of the City Services
Agreement and Task Order #1 pertaining to reimbursement of staff time for
establishing performance requirements to be included in the Request for
Proposals to design/build contractors for the Federal Way Link Extension,
subject to final approval by the Chief Administrative Officer and City Attorney.
Tina Budell moved, Jim Berrios seconded, and motion passed 3-0
8. Cancer Care Site- Update
Matt Gilbert, Current Planning Manager and Ben Wolters, ECD Director presented
updates for the project to build a 308 unit urban style apartment community. The
zoning of this project is Community Commercial Mixed use, which has the requirement
that 25 percent of the building area be commercial property. The proposal is to
consider for commercial and live in purposes, to include a commercial store front with
standard home/apartment amenities. The proposal is similar to Meet Me on Meeker,
which includes factors like on-street parking for commercial use and wider pedestrian
walk ways, in order to meet the 25 percent standard. After researching the Kent City
Code, it was found that this proposal of a live/work space would meet the standard.

Minutes Kent, Washington

Page 3 of 3
Gilbert presented the background that the code does not currently state what can be
considered commercial space and what can’t be counted. However, the code does
state certain standards to include that: the nature of the use does not create impacts
that are out of character with the zone, and that the use is consistent with the purpose
of the zone (to provide commercial space) and that the use is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan. Gilbert explains that if all of those requirements are met, that the
director can approve uses that are not clearly defined within the code.
This update is for the Council to consider modeling this proposal around more Mixed-
Use Commercial properties for commercial and retail opportunities for future projects.
Council expressed concerns for the commercial space being pushed for further
apartments versus the push to invite actual businesses in Kent. They also expressed
concern on the addition of these units to the already increasing traffic concerns.
Wolters responded with the current efforts with WDOT to test out a General Purpose
lane, along with considering the close driving time with the Link Light Rail project from
this project to help reduce traffic.
9. ShoWare- Update
Wolters reports that the purchase of the new POS system will go forward and will be
implemented over the next few months.
The signage for the final design and procurement for Accesso ShoWare has the goal of
being up for the T-birds opening day of September 23, 2017.
Wolters also confirmed that the new signage for the Accesso ShoWare will come at no
cost to the City, using the no interest loan through SMG and more favorable terms on
the ticket contract to cover the cost of the sign.
The council would like to explore a minimal report on Tax revenue from 2014 to
present on Kent Station, by the zip code.
10. Director’s Report
Wolters updates council that there is progression on a draft request for information for
the Highlands property that was approved by council for surplus. The Naden property
surplus site is still on schedule for fall 2017, a request for information still needs to be
sent out. The final house on the property was demolished on the day of the council
meeting
Wolters anticipates exceeding revenue projections for the year for permitting.

RE: SB 5674 – Recent Legislative Amendments to Chapter 58.17 RCW – Final Plat
Procedures
For Meeting of August 14, 2017
SUMMARY:
On April 27, 2017 the Governor signed into law SB 5674. SB 5674 amends Chapter
58.17 RCW relating to the final approval of subdivisions of land.
SB 5674 provides an option for local government to change final plat approval from
a City Council action to an administrative action. Cities, towns, and counties now
have the authority to delegate final plat approval to an agency or appropriate
administrative personnel.
When land is subdivided into 10 or more lots the property owner is required to
advance through 4 general phases of permitting and construction before homes
may be built on the newly subdivided lots. These 4 phases are generally described
as follows:
Phase 1 - Preliminary Plat
Preliminary plat is the first step in subdividing land. It is intended to serve as
the method for a city to ensure consistency with requirements for zoning,
density, lot dimensions, environmental and general engineering requirements.
Preliminary plat applications are reviewed by traffic engineers, utility engineers,
fire, building, planning and development engineers. Preliminary plats trigger a
requirement for a public hearing and assign the final decision to the Hearing
Examiner.
Phase 2 - Civil Engineering Review: Once the Hearing Examiner has
approved the preliminary plat, the applicant may now submit civil engineered
drawings that provide a very fine level of detailed information regarding road
MOTION: Recommend Council adopt an ordinance amending chapters
12.01 and 12.04 of the city code relating to the procedures used for
processing final plat approvals, and delegating final plat approval
authority to the Planning Director.
25
specifications, utility specifications, street lighting, public landscaping, sidewalks,
and grading. The engineered plans are reviewed by traffic engineers, utility
engineers, fire, building, planning and development engineers. Upon a final
determination that the plans meet all of the city’s engineering design and
construction standards the plans are signed by the City Engineer. This
milestone allows the developer to begin construction of the plat.
Phase 3 - Plat Construction: Plat construction consists of completing the
work that is approved within the civil engineering drawings. The developer will
grade the site, install utilities, construct the roads, and install the landscaping,
lighting and sidewalks. Once all of these features are installed/constructed, and
the city inspectors have passed all of the inspections (or bonded for unfinished
features), the public improvements are transferred into city ownership.
Phase 4 - Final Plat: Upon completion of the civil engineering improvements
the applicant can now submit their final plat application. Currently, this process
serves as a close out process before the plat is recorded with the County and
the lots become official lots of record. During the final plat process staff reviews
all of the conditions of approval included in the Hearing Examiner’s decision of
preliminary plat, ensures that all legal descriptions of new lots are correct,
reviews the final plat documents that will be recorded, and ensures that all
necessary easements and covenants are in place. Upon a determination that
the final plat is approvable, staff prepares an ordinance that is presented to City
Council who takes final action to approve the plat. Once the ordinance is
effective the applicant can record the approved documents.
SB 5674 has the effect of amending RCW 58.17 by allowing a municipality to adopt
a local ordinance that modifies the approval process for final plats – the last of the
4 phases described above. In other words, the City of Kent has the option to shift
the final plat approval authority away from City Council and to an administrative
authority, e.g. Mayor, Department Director.
There are two primary advantages to shifting this authority. First, it saves the
applicant between 6 and 8 weeks of time. This is due to the time it takes to
prepare an ordinance, transmit the ordinance to Council, schedule the ordinance
approving the subdivision for City Council action, publishing the action in the
newspaper, and waiting the 5 days for it to become effective. The second
advantage pertains to efficiencies experienced by city staff. It eliminates the need
for staff to prepare an ordinance and agenda bill, for administrative staff to load
materials into the computer system, and for staff to present at City Council. Each
final plat consumes a significant of time for preparation and presentation to City
Council.
Additionally, Council has a very limited ability to deny or modify a final plat because
the quasi-judicial Hearing Examiner process will have already addressed the
majority of significant city code issues during preliminary plat process, and because
the plat has already been fully developed during Phase 3.

Re: Final Plat Approvals
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the C ity Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, amending chapters 12.01
and 12.04 of the city code, relating to the procedures
used for processing final plat approvals.
RECITALS
A. The City Council has an ongoing interest to simplify land use
decision making and to low er City a nd customer costs by in creasing
efficiency.
B. Kent City Code currently establishes pro cedures for
processing final plats which include the re quirement that final approval of
plats for subdivisions must be given by the City Council. This final approval
by Council is generally seen as merely a technical legal requirement, as
Council has a very limited ability to deny or modify a final plat because the
Hearing Examiner process has already addressed any sig nificant code
compliance issues during the preliminary review process.
C. On April 27, 2017, the G overnor signed into law SB 5 674
which amends Chapter 58.17 RCW to al low local governments to ado pt
procedures that shift final plat approval from a City Council action to an
administrative decision by a specific City official or City department.
D. There are significant advantages to shifting the final plat
approval from Council to a n administrative process. It would save

Sec. 12.04.227 Procedure for alteration of a subdivision or
short subdivision.
A. An applicant requesting to alter a subdivision or short subdivision or
any portion thereof, except as provided in KCC 12.04.230, shall submit a
plat alteration application to the permit center. The application shall be
accompanied by such submittal requirements as described in the
application form, and applicable fees, and shall contain the signatures of
all persons having an ownership interest in lots, tracts, parcels, sites, or
divisions within the subdivision or short subdivision or in that portion to be
altered.
B. The planning director shall have the authority to determine whether
the proposed alteration constitutes a minor or major alteration. Major
alterations are those that are not in response to staff review or public
appeal and substantially change the basic design, increase the number of
lots, substantially decrease open space, substantially change conditions of
subdivision or short subdivision approval, or other similar requirements or
provisions. Minor alterations are those that make minor changes to
engineering design or lot dimensions, decrease the number of lots to be
created, or increase open space, or other similar minor changes. Major
alterations shall be treated as new applications for purposes of vesting.
C. If the subdivision or short subdivision is subject to restrictive
covenants which were filed at the time of the approval, and the application
37
12 Amend KCC 12.01 and 12.04 -
Re: Final Plat Approvals
for alteration would result in the violation of a covenant, the application
shall contain an agreement signed by all parties subject to the covenants
providing that the parties agree to terminate or alter the relevant
covenants to accomplish the purpose of the alteration of the subdivision or
short subdivision or any portion thereof.
D. If the alteration is requested prior to final plat or final short plat
review and signature, a minor alteration may be approved with consent of
the planning and the public works directors. A major plat or short plat
alteration shall require consent of the short subdivision committee for
short subdivisions or the hearing examiner for subdivisions after public
notice and a public meeting or hearing is held. Planning services shall
provide notice of the application for a major plat or short plat alteration to
all owners of property within the subdivision or short subdivision, all
parties of record, and as was required by the original subdivision or short
subdivision application. The planning director shall have the authority to
determine whether the proposed alteration constitutes a minor or major
alteration pursuant to subsection (B) of this section.
E. If the alteration is requested after final plat or final short plat review
and signature, but prior to filing the final plat or final short plat with King
County, a plat or short plat alteration may be approved with consent of
the short subdivision committee for short subdivisions or the city council
planning director for subdivisions. Upon receipt of an application for
alteration, planning services shall provide notice of the application to all
owners of property within the subdivision or short subdivision, all parties
of record, and as was required by the original application. The notice shall
establish a date for a public meeting or hearing.
F. If the alteration is requested after filing the final plat or final short
plat with King County, a minor plat or short plat alteration may be

short subdivisions or the city council planning director for subdivisions. If
the planning director determines that the proposed alteration is a major
alteration, pursuant to subsection (B) of this section, then the planning
director may require replatting pursuant to this chapter. Upon receipt of
an application for alteration, planning services shall provide notice of the
application to all owners of property within the subdivision or short
subdivision, all parties of record, and as was required by the subdivision or
short subdivision plat application. The notice shall establish a date for a
public meeting or hearing.
G. The city shall determine the public use and interest in the proposed
alteration and may deny or approve the application for alteration. If any
land within the alteration is part of an assessment district, any
outstanding assessments shall be equitably divided and levied against the
remaining lots, parcels, or tracts, or be levied equitably on the lots
resulting from the alteration. If any land within the alteration contains a
dedication to the general use of persons residing within the subdivision,
such land may be altered and divided equitably between adjacent
properties.
H. After approval of the alteration, the city shall order the applicant to
produce a revised drawing of the approved alteration of the subdivision or
short subdivision, which after signature the final plat or final short plat
shall be filed with King County to become the lawful plat or short plat of
the property.
I. This section shall not be construed as applying to the alteration or
replatting of any plat or short plat of state-granted shore lands.
