FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The subject property was annexed to the City in January 1989 .
It is located on the west side of 116th Avenue SE approximately
150 feet south of SE 227th Place. The property consists of two
parcels (the Hehr lot and the Fullner lot) totalling 4 . 6 acres.
Seven people live on the acreage.

Findings and Recommendation
HEHR
#AZ-89-1
2 . Under the provisions - of section 15. 03 . 020 E (1) of the Kent
Zoning Code, all property not otherwise classified on the
official zoning map is placed in an interim zoning designation
equivalent to the R1-20, Single-Family Residential, district.
3 . Prior to annexation, the property was zoned under King County
jurisdiction as Suburban Residential with a minimum lot size of
7 , 200 square feet (SR 7200) .
4 . The property to the north and east is zoned SR 7200 under King
County jurisdiction. The property to the south and west is
zoned R1-7 . 2 under City of Kent jurisdiction.
5. The City-wide Comprehensive Plan designates the area as SF,
Single-Family Residential as does the East Hill
Comprehensive Plan map.
6 . Current and future residential development would have access to
116th Avenue SE.
7 . City services including water, sewer, storm drainage and streets
are available and adequate to serve the area should it be
developed as Single Family Residential with 7, 200 square foot
lots. City services may not be adequate if greater density were
allowed.
CONCLUSIONS
1. Single-Family Residential zoning with a minimum lot size of
7 , 200 square feet is compatible with the surrounding
environment, the comprehensive plans, and other zoning
designations in the area of the subject property.
2 . A zoning designation of Single--:Family Residential with a minimum
lot size of 7 , 200 square feet will help ensure that city
services will be available for future development which may
occur on the annexed property.
3 . A R1-7 . 2 zoning designation is appropriate for the subject
property.

HEHR ANNEXATION
#RZ-89-1
The last item on the agenda was a request by the City of Kent
Planning Department, 220 Fourth Avenue S. , Kent, WA 98032 , to
attach initial zoning to approximately 4 .6 acres annexed into the
City in January 1989 . The Comprehensive Plan designation is SF,
Single Family, 4-6 units per acre. Currently three single-family
residences exist on the site. The subject property is located on
the west side of 116th Avenue SE approximately 150 feet south of
SE 227th Place.
(1-434) Lauri Anderson, Kent Planning Department, reiterated the
request. Ms. Anderson displayed some transparencies indicating 1)
the location of the subject property, and 2) current zoning of the
site and surrounding zoning. Ms. Anderson commented that property
to the north of the subject property is in King County.
A video of the site was shown. Ms. Anderson commented on the
goals, objectives and policies of the City-wide Comprehensive Plan
and the East Hill Plan. Ms. Anderson commented that under the
single-family zoning approximately 20 single-family residences
could be established on this site. An application has been
received from Mr. Hehr requesting a subdivision for 12 lots.
The staff is recommending approval of the proposed R1-7 . 2 ,
Single-Family Residential, zoning.
Mr. Hunter asked if the applicant would like to comment.
(1-822) Gregg Nelson, 11317 SE 228th Place, Kent, WA 98031, owner
of Lot 6 of Parkmar, was concerned about the storm
retention/detention on this site. Currently, there is a great deal
of water run-off from this property.
There was no further testimony.
Mr. Hunter asked for City rebuttal.
(1-944) Ms. Anderson commented that as part of the preliminary plat
process, drainage concerns will be addressed.
The public hearing was closed at 4 : 10 p.m.

Hearing Examiner Minutes
April 5 , 1989
Mr. Hunter asked if the applicant would like to comment.
The applicant, Shupe Holmberg, 1505 Northwest Gilman Boulevard #7 ,
Issaquah, WA 98027 , indicated he was available for questions but
did not intend to comment.
Mr. Hunter asked if anyone would like to comment.
(1-1268) (1-000) Dale Hartman, 8949 S. 245th Place, asked if the
comment about the barricades could be explained. He inquired that
if Canterbury subdivision were not developed, would access from
this subdivision be from S . 244th? Mr. Hartman assumed there
would be half-street improvements with sidewalks. He wanted to
know the approximate value of the homes to be constructed.
Mr. Hartman asked if the pond shown on the plans would be used for
storm drainage and retention. Mr. Hartman commented he had his
property surveyed and he would be willing to show where the corner
was located.
There was no further testimony.
Mr. Hunter asked for rebuttal from the City.
(1-181) Gary Gill , Kent City Engineer, responded to the questions
asked by Mr. Hartman. In regard to the barricade, if the
Canterbury subdivision is not developed prior to the construction
of this subdivision, then 100th Avenue will not provide a link
between 248th and the subject site; a condition for barricades at
the northwest corner of this property would not be required. The
Public Works Department requested that this condition be flexible
so at the time of development the traffic situation can be studied
and the best use of barricades and signing could be made. Mr. Gill
stated there will be sidewalks required along the entire frontage
of the property on the eastern side of 100th Avenue.
The Public Works Department will be working with the developer to
determine the size and design of the pond to prevent off-site flows
from being any greater than what existed prior to development. In
addition, the applicant will be required to provide some water
quality enhancement to the pond as well as storm
detention/retention. There were conditions of SEPA in regard to
the impacts of water retention/detention and off-site flows.
There was no further testimony.
The public hearing was closed at 3 : 55 p.m.

remains with the property until the Hearing Examiner and City
Council establish appropriate zoning for the newly annexed
area.
B. Location
The subject property is located on the west side of
116th Avenue SE, approximately 150 feet south of SE 227th
Place.
C. Size of Property
The subject property contains two parcels, totalling 4 .6 acres
in size. The Hehr lot (Parcel 41722059056) includes 3 . 6
acres . The Fullner lot (Parcel #1722059136) comprises one

Staff Report
Hehr Annexation Zoning
#AZ-89-1
D. Zonincr
The site is currently zoned R1-20, Single Family Residential
(20, 000 square feet minimum lot size) , under the interim
zoning designation. Prior to annexation, the property was
zoned SR 7200 (Suburban Residential, minimum lot size 7, 200
square feet) under the jurisdiction of King County.
Surrounding property to the north and east which is in
unincorporated King County is zoned SR 7200. The property to
the south and west, which is inside the City of Kent, is zoned
R1-7 . 2 , Single Family Residential.
The two existing lots exceed the minimum lot size as specified
in the development standards for the proposed R1-7 .2 zoning.
E. Comprehensive Plan
The City of Kent first adopted a City-wide Comprehensive Land
Use Plan in 1969 . The goals, objectives and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan represent an expression of community
intentions and aspirations concerning the future of Kent and
the area within the Sphere of interest. The Comprehensive
Plan is used by the Mayor, City Council, City Administrator,
Planning Commission, Hearing Examiner and City departments to
guide growth, development and spending decisions. Residents,
land developers, business representatives and others may refer
to the plan as a statement of the City' s intentions concerning
future development.
The City of Kent has also adopted a number of subarea plans
that address specific concerns of certain areas of the City.
Like the City-wide Plan, the subarea plans serve as policy
guides for future land use in the City of Kent. This area is
served by the East Hill subarea plan.
The following is a review of these plans as they relate to
the subject property and proposed zoning.
CITY-WIDE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The City-wide Comprehensive Plan Map designates the site as
SF, Single-Family Residential .

HOUSING ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ASSURE A DECENT HOME• AND SUITABLE LIVING
ENVIRONMENT FOR FAMILIES DESIRING To LIVE IN KENT.
GOAL 2 : Guide new residential development into areas where
the needed services and facilities are available, and in a
manner which is compatible with existing residential
neighborhoods.
Planning Department Comment
This goal supports objectives and policies which encourage
development of new single-family housing and protect existing
single-family neighborhoods from adverse impacts of new
development.
In recent years, the City of Kent has developed at a rapid
pace. King County' s Soos Creek Planning Area, which is
located immediately to the east of the City of Kent and
includes the Hehr annexation property, is the second fastest
growing area in King County.
- In 1988 , the City issued $152 million in building permits--
one of the busiest years on record. Yet even in this peak
year of construction, the number of single-family residential
permits was minimal (28) . The City of Kent, as of December
1988 , had 9 , 357 apartment units. These units made up nearly
60 percent of the housing stock. Single-family homes made up
34 percent, and the balance were mobile homes.
The City has placed a renewed emphasis on single-family
housing in an effort to address the perceived imbalance
between single-family and multifamily housing types. This
effort was initiated by the adoption of Resolution #1123 in
1986 which called for a 20 percent reduction in multifamily
densities . The City is in the process of a comprehensive
housing study, and the policies formulated in the completed
Phase I report of that study articulate support for the
single-family residential living environment.
Zoning the Hehr annexation property for single-family
residential uses would work to redress the perceived imbalance
between single-family and multifamily housing types in Kent.
Under the R1-7 . 2 zoning, approximately 20 single-family homes
could be developed. A tentative plat has already been
submitted for the Hehr parcel, under the proposed R1-7 . 2

Staff Report
Hehr Annexation Zoning
#AZ-89-1
zoning, which would create 12 residential lots on
approximately 3 . 5 acres.
As land uses to the north, south, east and west are
single-family residential, the R1-7 .2 zoning of this site
would minimize the potential for future land use conflicts
with existing development.
GOAL 3 : ASSURE AN ADEQUATE AND BALANCED SUPPLY OF HOUSING
UNITS OFFERING A DIVERSITY OF SIZE, DENSITIES, AGE, STYLE AND
COST.
Plannincg Department Comment
This goal supports the objective which works to increase the
supply and affordability of housing for moderate-income
households. Policies under this objective include providing
for increased single-family residential densities in
appropriate areas as a means of controlling costs and
providing opportunities for single-family home ownership.
R1-7 . 2 is the City of Kent' s most dense single-family zoning
district--providing for the smallest residential lot size.
Small lot sizes reduce housing costs and provide enhanced
opportunities for moderate-income households to enter the
housing market. Zoning the Hehr annexation property to the
7 , 200 square feet minimum lot size would increase the
potential for achievement of the City' s housing affordability
goals.
EAST HILL PLAN
The East Hill Comprehensive Plan Map designates the site as
SF, Single-family Residential , 4-6 dwelling units per acre.
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: PROMOTE ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS WHICH
RECOGNIZE AND RESPOND TO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE
FUNCTIONING OF NATURAL SYSTEMS.
GOAL 1: Preservation and enhancement of the natural qualities
which make the east hill area an attractive place in which to
live.

Staff Report
Nehr Annexation Zoning
AZ-89-1
Planning Department Comment
This goal supports the policy which considers natural and
physical assets and liabilities, including but not limited to
topography, natural drainage, vegetation, views, amenities and
and
access, when making decisions concerning the type
intensity of land use.
Application of single-family zoning to the Hehr annexation
site would be appropriate as the site is not constrained by
natural hazards or liabilities. The Hehr annexation property
slopes gently to the southwest and drainage currently passes
into the Park Mar subdivision system. 116th Avenue S.E. ,
which is classified as a collector arterial, provides access
to the site. Concerns regarding drainage requirements,
retention of existing vegetation, and preservation of views
and/or other environmental amenities would be addressed at the
time of future residential development.
HOUSING ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ASSURE PRESENT AND FUTURE EAST HILL RESIDENTS
HOUSING THAT IS SAFE, OFFERS A DESIRABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT,
AND IS SUPPORTED BY ADEQUATE COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND
SERVICES.
GOAL 1: Residential development that is related to the
availability of community facilities and services.
Objective 1: When making decisions concerning land use,
consider the adequacy of and impact upon
roads and other public facilities and
services including utilities, policy and fire
protection, public transportation, schools
and parks.
Policy 1: Ensure that public facilities and services
are available or will be available to support
development at proposed densities.
Policy 2 : Locate new single-family detached residential
development in areas and at densities which
permit roads, utilities, public transit,
schools and other public facilities and
services to be provided in an efficient and
cost-effective manner.

Staff Report
Hehr Annexation Zoning
#AZ-89-1
Planning Department Comment
. Zoning of the Hehr annexation site to R1-7.2 , Single-family
Residential, would provide for in-fill development in an area
already covered by City services. Fire and police protection
are available. Water and sewer service are present, as are
storm drainage and street facilities.
The property lies within the Kent School District and within
a mile and a half radius of a Kent high school, a junior high
school and an elementary school .
Parks in the vicinity include Kent Park, Kent Memorial Park,
Garrison Creek Park, Mill Creek Park and Park Orchard Park.
The Hehr Annexation site is located near existing Metro bus
service.
Single-family development would have a lesser immediate impact
on service provision than would multifamily, commercial , or
office uses. Assuming 2 . 9 persons per household, adequate
community facilities and services will be available to serve
the additional 58 persons projected for complete development
of this site under R1-7 . 2 zoning.
GOAL 2 : DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS THAT PROMOTE RESIDENTIAL QUALITY
AND PROVIDE DIVERSE HOUSING OPPORTUNITY.
Planning Department Comment
This goal supports the objective which states that decisions
concerning land use designations shall consider surrounding
residential land uses to minimize potential conflicts.
Surrounding uses to the Hehr annexation property are all
single-family residential , primarily on 7 , 200 square feet
minimum lot sizes. Zoning of this site for multifamily,
office or commercial uses would not protect the existing
neighborhood from future incompatible development. Zoning of
the site to R1-7 . 2 would provide for new development of
similarly-sized single-family housing units.

GOAL 4 : Develop a transportation management program that
incorporates all modes of transportation.
Planning Department Comment
This goal establishes the policies which encourage use and
expansion of public transit.
Development density is critical to the economic provision of
mass transportation. By providing in-fill development at the
city' s highest single-family density, justification for mass
transit increases. The potential future residential
development of this site under R1-7 .2 zoning would increase
the service
development might re result in improved local Metro tion for local transit. lbus dservice.
PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ESTABLISH A PLANNED AND COORDINATED SYSTEM OF
PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES FOR EAST HILL THAT PROTECTS THE
HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY. THE PUBLIC
FACILITIES AND SERVICES FOR EAST HILL SHOULD BE COST EFFECTIVE
TO IMPLEMENT AND MAINTAIN AND SHOULD PROMOTE IN-FILL AND
PHASED DEVELOPMENT FROM EXISTING DEVELOPED AREAS.
Planning Department Comment
In-fill development allows for efficient expansion of public
facilities and services through prevention of urban sprawl.
With in-fill development, the need for far-ranging service
extension is slowed, thereby conserving energy resources lost
over travel and transmission distances. Natural resources in
the as-yet undeveloped outlying areas can also be preserved
when sites closer to the service provider are built out.
Zoning the Hehr annexation property R1-7 .2 , Single-family
Residential , would allow for in-fill development in an area
surrounded by residential uses. city services are currently
provided to neighboring properties and, as has been described
earlier, could be extended to serve the Hehr annexation site.

II. HISTORY
A. Site History
The subject site was annexed into the City of Kent in January
1989 . Prior to that time, the site fell under the
jurisdiction of King County. The annexation occurred as a
result of a petition from local property owners.
B. Area History
Considerable annexation activity has occurred in the immediate
vicinity. The Eastridge Annexation, which included 65 acres
immediately to the south of the subject site, was approved in
1975 . The Park Mar Annexation (4 .84 acres directly to the
west of the Hehr annexation property) occurred in 1977 .
Several plats have also been approved (with resultant
single-family development) in the area. The Kenton Firs
mobile home park to the north of the site was developed as a
PUD in King County in 1968 . The Park Mar subdivision to the
west of the site was platted for 19 lots on 4 . 83 acres in
1978 . To the south of the site is the Maple Wylde plat,
approved in 1981 for 18 lots on 4 . 6 acres. Farther south and
to the southwest is Eastridge Subdivision No. 2 consisting of
91 lots on 24 acres recorded in 1978. The Emery Ridge
Preliminary Plat is located to the east of the site across
116th Avenue SE. This preliminary plat was approved in 1987
for 44 lots on 9 . 75 acres.
III . LAND USE
Land use in the area is exclusively residential .
1 . The site itself includes three single-family residences (two
on one lot) and numerous outbuildings.
2 . To the north is the Kenton Firs mobile home park--a
single-family residential development.
3 . Properties to the east, west and south are developed with
single-family homes .

IV. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
A. Environmental Assessment
An environmental checklist was prepared on the proposed zoning
action. A Determination of Nonsignificance was issued on
February 24 , 1989 with no conditions.
B. Significant Physical Features
1. Topography and Vegetation
The subject site slopes downward in a southwesterly
direction with grades ranging from approximately 2 to 10
percent. The site is wooded with evergreen (including
cedar) and deciduous trees except in the vicinity of the
existing residences.
C. Significant Wildlife Habitat
Currently songbirds use the subject site and small mammals
(mice, etc. ) may be living in the vicinity. Domestic goats
are kept on the Fullner property. No significant wildlife
habitat has been identified.
D. Significant Social Features
1. Street System
The subject property has access to 116th Avenue SE, which
is classified as a collector arterial. This street has
a public right-of-way width of 60 foot while the actual
width of paving is 24 foot. The average daily traffic
count on 116th Avenue SE is 7000 vehicle trips per day.
This street is not inside the City of Kent boundaries.
However, at the time of any future subdivision of the
annexation property, the west half of 116th Avenue SE
would be improved.
Southeast 240th Street and SE 208th Street also are used
by residents in the vicinity.
The site is within one mile of the nearest transit stop.

2 . Water System
An existing six-inch water line is available in SE 228th
Place of the Park Mar subdivision. An eight-inch
waterline, terminating at the south property line of the
Hehr annexation site, is available in 116th Avenue SE.
3 . Sanitary Sewer System
Sewer service is available through a City of Kent
eight-inch sanitary sewer line in SE 228th Place of the
Park Mar subdivision. This sewer line ends at the west
property line of the annexation area.
4 . Storm Water System
This area has been studied under the City of Kent
Drainage Master Plan. Currently less than five percent
of the site is covered with impervious surfaces.
No soil tests have been conducted, however the Department
of Agriculture Soils Map shows Alderwood C soils for the
entire site with poor drainage characteristics. Surface
run-off drains naturally into the Park Mar subdivision
system. Run-off in this drainage basin drains into
Garrison Creek which is collected by Springbrook Creek
in the valley floor which flows northerly into the Green
River.
5 . LID' s
No LIDS are on record at this time.
V. MEETINGS CORRESPONDENCE , AND LEGAL NOTICES
At the time of the annexation hearings for this property, R1-7 . 2 ,
Single-family Residential, zoning was proposed for the site. A
tentative plat meeting for the Hehr parcel (Cedar Meadows Tentative
Plat) was held on January 19 , 1989 . All appropriate comments and
concerns from these proceedings have been included in this report.

system for release of storm water collected on Third Avenue
until and upon either a development permit is issued upon the
vacated street right of way or the developer reconstructs a
drainage system to service Third Avenue.
9 . The City shall retain the right to transfer utility rights

FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The subject property is located between 77th Avenue S. and the
Burlington Northern right-of-way, to the north of vacated
Harrison Street. The property is approximately 52, 080 square
feet. Surrounding land uses include the Central Pre-Mix
Concrete Plant, a vacant lot, and the Metro Hauling facilities.
2 . The applicant intends to develop the property for the business
purpose of mixing, packaging, warehousing and distributing
organic and inorganic chemicals. The proposed facility is
classified as a hazardous substance land use facility under
Section 15 . 02 . 178 of the Kent Zoning Code. More than 20, 000
pounds of hazardous materials will accumulate on the site from
time to time.
3 . The property is zoned M31 General Industrial. Section 15. 04 . 190
(C) (12) of the Kent Zoning Code requires a conditional use
permit for a hazardous substance facility in a M3 zone. The
City-wide Comprehensive Plan Map and the Valley Floor
Comprehensive Plan Map designate the site as I, Industrial .
4 . The proposed facility is less than 1/4 mile from the Interurban
Trail - a King County public recreational bicycle and pedestrian
trail.
5. The eastern perimeter of the building proposed on the site plan
as part of Exhibit 1 is set back from the eastern property line
by five feet. The railroad right-of-way abuts the eastern
property line and is approximately 100 feet wide.
6. The building site contains several independent lots.
7 . The proposed facility is more than 200 feet away from any stream
that is delineated on the Hazard Area Limitations Map.
8 . The proposed facility is dependent on 77th Avenue S. for access.
This road has no curbs, sidewalks, street lighting, storm water
drains or lane stripping. The paving width is approximately
24 feet. The street deadends at Seattle Auto Auction. The
daily average traffic flow is about 2 , 500 vehicles per day. Use
of the proposed facility will add additional traffic to the
intersections of S 212th Street and the East and West Valley
Highways.

#CE-89-7
9 . A final Declaration of Nonsignificance was issued on April 14 ,
1989 with conditions regarding emergency response plans, surface
water run-off and increased traffic.
10. The City Planning Department testified that the facility as
proposed did not meet certain development requirements including
sideyard landscaping on the northern perimeter; landscape
islands on the eastern side of the lot; front yard landscaping
along the 77th Avenue S frontage; location of waste dumpsters
with associated landscaping; and landscape berming in the
vicinity of the truck loading door. The City Planning
Department also testified that two standards applicable only to
hazardous substance land use proposals were not met by the
proposed facility: (1) the requirement of a 50 foot setback
from all property lines and (2) the requirement of at least a
1/4 mile between a hazardous substance facility and a public
recreation area. The City Planning Department recommended
approval with conditions. This testimony was not rebutted
except as to the need for some of the conditions.
11. Mr. John Hallstrom testified for the applicant. He expressed
concerns with several of the recommended conditions including
the 50 foot setback requirement along the eastern property line.
He testified that this requirement appeared to conflict with the
Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code requirements. He
submitted a letter addressed to him from Mr. Jack Fingold which
states that "there is a difference" between how the Building
Department and the Planning Department view right-of-ways and
easements. The letter was admitted as Exhibit 2 .
12 . Mr. Gary Volchok testified for the applicant. He argued that
a lot line adjustment was not necessary. He also presented
diagrammatic evidence that showed Mill Creek was more than
200 feet away from the proposed facility. This was admitted as
Exhibit 4 .
13 . Mr. Glenn Dodge also testified for the applicant. He stated
that a 50 foot setback along the eastern property line would
unreasonably restrict future development and was not necessary
from a safety point of view. He requested a waiver of the
50 foot setback requirement for the entire length of the eastern
property line bordering the railroad right-of-way. He also
stated that hazardous waste products are produced in the
business proposed to be conducted at the site but that they are
all shipped off-site for disposal.

CONCLUSIONS
1. An applicant for a conditional use permit must demonstrate that
the following criteria will be met by the proposed use in
accordance with Section 15. 09 . 030 (D) of the Kent Zoning Code:
a. The proposed use in the proposed location will not be
detrimental to other uses legally existing or permitted
outright in the zoning district.
b•. The size of the site is adequate for the proposed use.
C. The traffic generated by the proposed use will not unduly
burden the traffic circulation system in the vicinity.
d. The other performance characteristics of the proposed use
are compatible with those of other uses in the neighborhood
or vicinity.
e. Adequate buffering devices such as fencing, landscaping,
or topographic characteristics protect adjacent properties
from adverse effects of the proposed use, including adverse
visual or auditory effects.
f. The other uses in the vicinity of the proposed site are
such as to permit the proposed use to function effectively.
g. The proposed use complies with the performance standards,
parking requirements and other applicable provisions of
this code.
h. Any other similar considerations that may be appropriate
to a particular case.
Based on the Findings of Fact detailed above, it appears the
proposed use complies with criteria a, b, c, d, f and h of
Section 15. 09 . 030 (D) .
2 . A hazardous substance facility must, in addition, comply with
the development standards detailed in Section 15. 08 . 050 (D) (9)
of the Kent Zoning Code. Those development standards require,
in part, that:
4
Hearing Examiner Decision
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
"Hazardous substance land use facilities shall be located at least:
3. one-quarter mile from public parks, public recreation areas or natural
preserves (and)
4. Fifty (50) feet from any property line to serve as an on-site
hazardous substance land use facility buffer zone;"
The proposed facility does not and cannot meet these
requirements without the grant of exceptions. Section 15. 08. 050
(D) further provides that: "In case of conflict between any of
these site development standards and the development standards
of specific zoning districts or other code requirements, the
more restrictive requirement shall apply. "
3 . A hazardous substance land use facility must also comply with
performance standards specified in Section 15.08. 050 of the Kent
Zoning Code. These performance standards deal with the
operational aspects of land uses. The performance standards for
hazardous substance land use facilities address primarily the
release of a hazardous substance into public or private sewers,
watercourses or the ground. See, 15. 08. 050 (D) (9) . However,
the performance standards also address where hazardous
substances might be located upon the land. Section 15. 08 . 050
(A) identifies hazardous substances as a potential "dangerous
or objectionable element" subject to the performance standards.
Section 15. 08 . 050 (C) specifies how the measurement shall be
made for determining whether a "dangerous or objectionable
element" exists. For elements such as noise, vibration, glare,
smoke, dust and odor the point of measurement is the location
of the use creating the problem. For hazardous substances or
wastes, however, the point of measurement "shall be . . . at the
buffer zone setback line for any hazardous substance land use
facility which must be at least 50 feet from any property line" .
Section 15. 08 . 050 (A) requires continued compliance with
performance standards.
Thus, the 50 foot setback requirement for a hazardous substance
facility is both a development standard (how a facility might
be constructed) and a performance standard (how a facility might
be operated) . The Code requires that a hazardous substance
land use facility be constructed no closer than 50 feet to any
property line and that no hazardous substances be located closer
than 50 feet to any property line. The proposed facility would
store hazardous substances closer than 50 feet to the eastern
property line and, therefore, would not comply with the
performance standards without the granting of an exception.
5
Hearing Examiner Decision
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
4 . The authority of the Hearing Examiner to approve exceptions to
code requirements is limited only to exceptions to development
standards at the time a conditional use application is
considered. See, Section 15. 09.030 (E) of Kent Zoning Code.
Furthermore, under Section 15. 09 .030 (D) , the Hearing Examiner
must find that the proposed conditional use complies with
performance standards. That finding cannot be made on this
application.
The Hearing Examiner has authority to approve or deny exceptions
to development standards under Section 15. 09. 030 (E) of the
Zoning Code. The Hearing Examiner has no similar authority to
approve or deny exceptions to performance standards. The
50 foot setback requirement appears to be both a development
standard and a performance standard that is expressed in
mandatory fashion ("shall" and "must") . The Hearing Examiner
cannot grant an exception to the 50 foot setback requirement.
The development standards applied to a hazardous substance land
use facility are found in a code section which is intended to
preempt other code requirements. In case of conflict, the "more
restrictive requirement shall apply" . Section 15. 08 . 050 (D)
(9) . It does not appear it would be consistent with City
Council intent to grant an exception to a development standard
detailed in that section of the Zoning Code. The request for
an exception to the requirement to locate a -h rdous substance
facility at least one-quarter mile from a pubic .recreation area
should not be granted by the Hearing Examin thout additional
assurances that the public recreation area would be protected.
DECISION
The application for a conditional use permit to locate a hazardous
substance facility in M3 , General Industrial, zoning district is DENIED
because of the application's noncompliance with the standards for a
hazardous substance facility in Section 15. 08 .050 of the Zoning Code
and the criteria for a conditional use permit in Section 15. 09. 030 (d)
of the Zoning Code.
A grant of a conditional use permit would require the simultaneous
granting of two exceptions to the standards specified in Section
15. 08 . 050 of the Kent Zoning Code: (1) an exception from the
6
Hearing Examiner Decision
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
requirement to locate a hazardous substance land use at least one-
quarter mile from a public recreation area and (2) an exception to the
performance standard of at least a 50 foot buffer zone from the
property line to the facility. The Hearing Examiner has limited
authority to grant exceptions to development standards listed in
Section 15. 08 .050 (D) (9) of the Zoning Code and no authority to grant
exceptions to performance standards. Therefore, the Hearing Examiner
must deny the application as presented.
The primary duty of the Hearing Examiner is to interpret, review and
implement land use regulations in a fashion which separates land use
policy formulation from land use administration. See, Chapter 2 .54 of
Kent City Ordinances. Deviations from the development and performance
criteria applicable to a hazardous substance facility should not be
granted by the Hearing Examiner without clear signals from City land
use policy makers that it would be appropriate to do so.
�hile this may appear to present a hardship for the applicant, it
should be noted that the standards are clearly and objectively set
forth in the zoning code and that other uses can still be made of the
property. The proposed containment building could be redesigned to
.meet the 50 foot setback requirement. The preparation and approval of
an emergency response plan (as required in the DNS conditions) which
takes into account the proximity of the Interurban Trail may allow an
exception to the one-quarter mile requirement. With those changes and
the application of conditions 1, 41 51 61 7 , and 8 as specified in
Section VIII of the Planning Department Staff Report, a conditional use
permit may be appropriate for the proposed facility. That
determination, however, can only be made after due consideration of an
application which addresses those concerns. The present application
for a conditional use permit fails to meet the criteria required for
approval.
Dated this 21st day of June, 1989 .
THEODORE PAUL HUNTER
Hearing Examiner
Section 15. 09 . 030 G: Kent Zoning Code provides that any conditional
use permit granted by the Examiner shall remain effective only for one
(1) year unless the use is begun within that time or construction has
commenced. If not in use or construction has not commenced within one
year, the conditional use permit shall become invalid.

EMERALD CITY CHEMICAL
Conditional Use Permit
#CE-89-7
A request by Thomas A. Sconzo, Architect, 919-124th Avenue NE,
Bellevue, WA 98005, for a conditional use permit for the use of
an existing 3 , 224 square foot building and a new 8, 358 square foot
addition for corporate offices and the mixing, packaging,
warehousing and distribution of organic and inorganic chemicals.
The property is zoned M3 , General Industrial. The subject property
is located between 77th Avenue S. and the Burlington Northern right
of way, just north of vacated Harrison Street; it contains
approximately 52 , 080 square feet.

VERBATIM MINUTES
Hunter: Let me see again who we have to testify in that. O.k.
Fine. And, Lauri Anderson for the City.
Lauri Anderson: Thank you. My name is Lauri Anderson.
Hunter: I would like to swear you in first. Do you swear affirm
to tell the truth, and the whole truth in testimony you are about
to give.
Anderson: Yes, I do. Lauri Anderson with the City of Kent
Planning Department. The Emerald City Chemical use is the first
conditional use permit for a hazardous substance facility land use
that has come before this Department since our new regulations were
put into effective. It's a request for a permit to use an existing
3 , 224 square foot building and a new addition to that building for
the corporate offices, mixing, packaging, warehouse and
distribution of organic and inorganic chemicals. It's defined as
a hazardous substance land use under the Code and, therefore, falls
under these requirements as it involves more than 20, 000 pounds of
hazardous substances on site. The site is located on the east side
of 77th Avenue which is a dead end road coming off of S . 212th
Street. The site is located here. I might point out that the site
actually extends. . up to approximately the vicinity of S. 206th
Street. So there's an extra little triangle here that is included.
The bulk of the existing facilities are on this portion that is
shaded. As I mentioned the site currently houses Central Pre-Mix
offices. There is an associated metal tilt-up building, parking
and a gravel lot. Further north and to the west is the main Pre-
Mix Concrete plant--Crosby & Overton which is a hazardous materials
facility and then farther to the north at the end of the dead end
road is the South Seattle Auto Auction. To the west of the site
is a large vacant, paved lot which is currently up for lease. To
the south are the METRO truck hauling facilities. On the east side
of the site is the Burlington Northern right of way and tracks
which are about a ten foot higher elevation than the site and
beyond that there ' s a large drainage ditch and then some
warehousing operations. The site is approximately 52 , 000 square
feet in size. The zoning of the site is M3, General Industrial.
Surrounding zoning, as you can see, from the north, west and south
is also M3 . Across the Burlington Northern right of way, the
zoning is M2 , Limited Industrial . I 'd now like to show you a video
of the site (video ran from 1558 - 1620) .
O.k. I would now like to put up a site plan of the proposal .
Again, 77th runs along here to the north. The lot exceeds the
2
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
minimum lot size as required in this zone. The site coverage is
going to be less than the maximum requirement and the building is
proposed to be less than the maximum height. There is some minor
points that I wanted to bring up. This is based on a preliminary
review of the site plan. We are missing some side yard landscaping
along the northern perimeter of the site required by Code. There
are some landscape islands on the eastern end of this lot which are
not shown. The front yard landscaping does not extend all the way
up the frontage of 77th Avenue S. and there would need to be some
berming of the landscaping in the vicinity of the dock-high door.
The building as shown is setback five feet from the railroad right
of way and there's some mandoors along that side which exit into
some landscaping. Under this plan we would need to see some sort
of a pedestrian circulation system so those people wouldn't end up
in the middle of a landscaping strip.
Waste disposal methods are not shown, dumpsters, that kind of thing
and there's no mention of hazardous waste which might be generated
from this site. We would need additional information about that
to guarantee that appropriate handling and disposal techniques are
employed. In addition there would be some lot lines that would
have to be removed prior to development. Getting to the meat of
the matter, the hazardous substance land use regulation. The
applicant has indeed indicated that the facility will be
constructed with appropriate containment controls and will meet the
Fire Department' s requirements. The Zoning Code requirements
include that this. . .that a site like this not be located closer
than 200 feet. . .within 200 feet of a stream delineated on the
Hazardous Area Map. The site looks to be more than 200 feet to the
east of Mill Creek which runs up in that area but we would need
more information and that was a condition that we had suggested to
determine the exact distance to the creek. In addition, the
facility is prohibited within one-quarter mile of a public
recreation area. As I showed on the videotape the Interurban Trail
which is a City/County bicycle trail and pedestrian path is about
1, 000 feet from the proposed use. The building does not meet the
required 50 foot setback from the property lines for a hazardous
substance land use as I mentioned is shown within five. . .or at five
feet from the eastern property line. It does meet that requirement
from the north, south and west.
The other thing that I might mention is that the requirements say
that vehicles which utilize this kind of a site should not pass
through residential area. It' s possible that this would. . .that
vehicles traveling to I-5 or to the West Valley Highway would
travel through an agricultural zone but we felt that based
on. . .that the density in this kind of a residential situation was
3
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
so low that this might be a requirement that could be waived
particularly in light of the fact that this is only one of several
alternative routes, they don't have to go through that area. It
does meet several other criteria for siting this kind of a
facility. It's 200 feet from unstable soils or soils delineated
on the Hazard Area Map. It's an adequate distance from residential
zones. It's at least 500 feet from a public meeting place and it' s
not located in a flood plain. We analyzed this proposal in light
of the Comprehensive Plan and the subarea plans. This falls under
the Valley Floor Plan. Both of those plans designate the site as
I. Industrial, and I would just like to make a few comments about
the proposed relative to the goals, objectives and policies of
these plans.
The Comp Plan has a series of policies which worked to prevent
pollution of those surface and subsurface water resources. There
are several drainage ditches in this area, one that looks to be a
seasonal drainage ditch which runs along the east side of the site.
There' s a roadway ditch. There' s a major ditch across the railroad
right of way which isn't such a concern because of the elevation
difference. But we are concerned about storm water drainage and
hazardous substances. A suggestion that we have made is that
the. . .that no outdoor storage of hazardous materials be allowed to
prevent a possible flow into neighboring waters. We also suggested
that the existing natural vegetation along the drainage ditch to
the east be retained to preserve some sort of habitat for the life
that' s there and also to provide some biofiltration of any
overflows. . .uncontained runoff from the parking area. The plans
also discuss the need for a balanced, safe and efficient
transportation system. I think the transportation system is
probably our main concern on this site. It' s dependant. . .the
development is dependant on 77th Avenue S. which is an inadequate
roadway; dead end road, lacks curbs, gutters, storm water drain,
sidewalks, line striping and street lighting and receives quite a
bit of heavy truck and automobile traffic. The average daily
traffic flows is approximately 2 , 500 vehicle trips per day.
Because of the dangerous nature of the materials which will be
shipped to and from the development, the inadequacy of the street
is of concern. The development is proposed as a single dock-high
door to the northend of the site and then a future truck loading
area which is designated to be hydroseeded. To prevent vehicle
maneuvering and truck maneuvering on 77th Avenue S. which is a
highly traveled street, we had suggested that that area be paved
and put into immediate usage.
In addition, this development would add traffic at the intersection
of 212th and West Valley Highway and 212th and East Valley Highway.
4
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
These intersections are already at capacity and although mitigating
.conditions have been applied, again, transfer of dangerous
materials through these heavily traffic areas is of concern. One
of the City' s policy is also to site heavy industrial uses between
the railroad traffic and this site certainly falls into that
category. It's located between the Burlington Northern and Union
Pacific rights of way in an area that already has several heavy
industrial uses including, as I mentioned earlier, a hazardous
materials facility. As Scott mentioned in an earlier report, there
are eight conditions for siting a conditional use and, with your
permission, I will go through those and respond to them from the
Planning Department.• O.k. ?
O.k. The first criteria is that the proposed use will not be
detrimental to other uses legal existing or permitted outright in
the district. The M3 is our heaviest and most intense zoning
district in the City. As I mentioned, this is in an area of M3
development. The less intense M2 uses to the east are screened by
the higher elevation railroad right of way. The use will meet
federal, state and local criteria for hazardous substances land use
facility and shouldn't proposed a threat to surrounding uses.
The second criteria is that the size of the site be adequate. The
proposed lot exceeds the minimum lot size. However, because of the
width of the lot, only 120 feet, the proposal can't meet the 50
foot setback as designed. As I suggested earlier, this setback
could be met along the north, south and west property lines. With
some reconfiguration we feel that a 40 foot setback could be met
along the east property line.
The third criteria is that the traffic generated will not unduly
burden the traffic circulation system. As I mentioned, traffic
mitigation conditions were applied under SEPA. However, staff
still has a concern about the traffic impact in this area.
Fourth criteria. That the other performance characteristics of the
proposed use are compatible with those of other land uses in the
vicinity. Noise, vibration, glare, smoke and dust are not
anticipated from this and a hazardous waste storage facility is
already located in the area.
The fifth criteria. That adequate buffering devices protect
adjacent properties. We don't anticipate any adverse visual or
auditory affects from the development. The landscaping will be
provided along the north, west and south property lines to screen
adjacent uses and we feel that the eastern boundary of the site is
screened by the railroad embankment. Again, we are suggesting that
5
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes

#CE-89-7
the hazardous materials portion of the development which are
four. . .rooms located along the eastern perimeter be moved to the
interior of the site to provide a buffer.
The sixth criteria. The other uses in the vicinity are such as
permit the proposed use to function effectively. Other uses are
of the heavy industrial nature. The complex would arise over the
inadequacy of 77th Avenue S.
The seventh criteria. The proposed use complies with the
performance standards, parking requirements and other applicable
provisions. The site plan does not meet all the performance
standards and Zoning Code requirements. But, with modification,
it can meet the bulk of these requirements. Two conditional
exceptions to the siting standards would be required. That would
be a waiver of the one-quarter mile setback from public recreation
areas and the waiver of the 50 foot setback for hazardous
substances land uses facilities from the east property line. We
would reduce that and make it. . . and suggest that it be made a 40
foot setback.
The eighth criteria. Any other similar considerations that may be
appropriate to a particular case. I think the Planning Department
feels that although several concerns remain over some aspects of
this development, it appears to meet the majority of criteria--of
the criteria for siting a hazardous substance land use. Locating
this type of facility anywhere in the City is going to be a
difficult task and we feel that the bulk of the requirements are
met by the site.
So, in sum, the City staff recommends approval with the conditions,
including the conditional exceptions noted in the staff report.
Questions?
Hunter: Yes, a couple of questions.
Anderson• O.k.
Hunter: You mentioned that there were conditions applied and I
think they were referenced in the report on traffic concerns. . .
Anderson: Right. The SEPA mitigating. . .
Hunter: Applied by the DNS . But, I think, I heard you mentioned
you also continue to have some concerns. Is that if the conditions
are met, you' ll still have additional concerns?

Anderson: I think the concern is that the improvements to 77th
that are currently proposed and I will have to pull out my SEPA
document deal with the roadway in the immediate vicinity of the
site providing improvements to the road in the area. Improvements
to 77th Avenue S. itself would come through the LID process and
that may take some period of time before those improvements are
actually put on the ground so for at least the interim period there
would be some concern.
Hunter: O.k. Thank you. Secondly, there' s a Code requirement of
location 500 feet away from agricultural zone, I heard something
in your testimony at agricultural?
Anderson: Right. The agricultural zone is down beyond West
Valley Highway, it' s more than 500 feet from the development. The
concern we raised over the agricultural zone was a minor concern
relating to traffic. . .traffic from the site going through a
residential zone and the question is how far you would extend that.
I mean, eventually, almost all traffic at some time or other would
go through a residential zone but because that was only one of
several alternate routes we felt that was not. . . .
Hunter: O.k.
Anderson: A real problem.
Hunter: And finally, regarding, I think, Mill Creek, is that the
name of the water path?
Anderson: Right.
Hunter: You mentioned that it is likely greater than 200 feet?
Anderson: Right.
Hunter: Where. . .was it located. . .could we see it on the video?
Was it located on there?
Anderson: No, we could not see it on the video. It's. . .the Union
Pacific Railroad embankment, it's on the side of that area, near
the trail, I believe. And on the. . .scaling distance that we took
was off our hazardous area map and it's. . . it looks that on the map
of a very large scale, it appears that it's beyond the 200 foot
buffer but we just wanted to confirm that at the time of review.
Hunter: Did I understand your testimony, did you say that it is
shown on the Hazard Area. . .

#CE-89-7
Anderson: Right. Mill Creek is indeed shown on the map and from
the outline. . .the Hazard Area Map is a 1 to 1, 000 scale map, so
variations within a matter of feet are very difficult to pinpoint.
I don't think there' s an issue, it may be it' s 195 feet put I don't
think there's an issue. We wanted to bring that up, however, at
the hearing.
Hunter: Did you ask for additional information on that?
Anderson: No, we did not.
Hunter: So the location is, if we're going west to east,
Interurban Trail, Middle Creek and then the Union Pacific Railroad
embankment, is that. . .
Anderson: Right. The ditch, Mill Creek is ditched at that point,
it's not a free flowing creek and I would have to defer to which
side of the embankments it' s on, I frankly can't remember at this
point where it runs along there.
Hunter: I 'm trying to get some (unclear) on it, because you raised
it as a concern. I guess, I heard testimony that the trail was
1, 000 feet away and Mill Creek is adjacent to the trail area and
certainly one would conclude its. . . .
Anderson: Yeah, it' s more than 200. Yeah, I don't. . .do we have
a map?
Hunter: We ' ll give you an opportunity to address the same
question. The applicant has a chance to testify.
Anderson: All right. I think I can clear this up. I saw the
creek from 212th Street. The creek near 212th Street is on the
east side of the railroad embankment. It then meanders apparently
back to. . .I ' ll show you.
Hunter: You're referring to which document. A vicinity map which
is in the file dated June 7 . O.k.
Anderson: A vicinity map. . . .right. . .right. So. . inside the
railroad embankment and then meanders back towards the. . . . (unclear)
here. (Unclear) . Any additional. . .
Hunter: Thank you very much.

Hunter: O.k. Additional testimony on Emerald City Chemical. Yes,
sir. Step forward. Do you swear affirm to tell the truth and the
whole truth in the testimony you are about to give?
John Hallstrom: Yes, I do. My name is John Hallstrom. H-a-1-1-
s-t-r-o-m, I 'm architect for Sconozo and Associates, our address
is 919 124th Avenue NE in Bellevue. And I would like to comment
Lauri Anderson in the Planning Department on a very thorough
report; however, there are several of the City staff's recommended
conditions of approval which merit further discussion and
consideration. The conditions which I neglect to discuss will be
discussed at a later time by Gary Volchok and Glenn Dodge.
Condition #3 of approval reads, "The applicant shall relocate the
hazardous substances portion of the development to the interior
portion of the site providing a minimum 50 foot setback from the
property lines to the north, south and west and a minimum 40 foot
setback along the eastern property line. Future expansion of the
hazardous substance portion of this development will also be
subject to the 50 foot setback requirement. " The staff
recommendations do not recognize the Uniform Building Code or
Uniform Fire Code requirements which will also be imposed upon this
project. Hazardous substances must be located on an exterior wall
of a building. If they were to be relocated as suggested by the
Planning Department, it would prohibit future expansion as dictated
on the plan. We recognized early on that this project and site on
unusual conditions and needed careful consideration. We met at an
early point on with both Building Department and Fire Department
to discuss the implications of placing the hazardous substances
abutting this railroad right of way on a long, shallow site. Both
Codes recognize the public rights of way in determining the
appropriate building setback requirements and the construction
requirements for building in that location. The public right of
way is a. . . .a railroad right of way which is used for short
durations, it' s elevated about ten above the project site. The
railroad right of way is 100 foot in width which would provide 105
foot minimum distance from our property line to the abutting
property immediately to the east. The exterior wall of the
building would be constructed as a four-hour wall which would be
the most fire resistive construction recognized by Code. I would
like to submit a letter drafted this morning by a Mr. Jack Fingold
of the Building Department which more or less reiterates what I 've
just discussed.
Hunter: O.k. We can accept that as an exhibit. So, mark that
Exhibit 2 , I guess, we have files Exhibit 1, so this would be
Exhibit 2 .
9
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
Hallstrom: Item number. . .
Hunter: Let me make sure I understand this exhibit. It's a letter
to you from Jack Fingold, Assistant Building Official, City of
Kent. I just want to understand, you're submitting this in support
of the testimony you just gave? This letter will serve as
confirmation as to the intent of the Building/Fire Departments to
apply the provision of the 1988 Uniform Codes. We concur there is
a difference between the Building and Planning Department's setback
or yard requirements. Of course the Planning Department does not
recognize the rights of way and easements as satisfying zoning
requirements. O.k. , that' s the letter. . .
Hallstrom: Essentially the Building Department and Fire Department
recognize the right of way as. . . .determination in determining
setbacks required for the building construction and the limitations
on the type of construction to be built.
Hunter: O.k. , I think that I will have some specific questions on
that but we' ll let you complete your testimony.
Hallstrom: I would like to say on Item #6, maintaining existing,
natural vegetation along the eastern property line. We have no
objection to that. We have a photo which we could submit as
evidence which depicts the existing conditions out there at that
location.
Hunter: Would you like to submit that as an exhibit. O.k. We' ll
mark this as Exhibit 3 and it' s a photo of existing site.
Hallstrom: South property line. . . . (unclear) .
Hunter: You're on the north property line, looking south.
Hallstrom: We are on the east property line.
Hunter: East property line. O.k.
Hallstrom: Item #7 referenced the need for sidewalk along the east
boundary of the building line. Those x's along that side are going
to be required for exiting from the hazardous areas. We have no
objections to, you know, creating an exit passage. . .pathway out
that side of the building; would suggest possibly might want to use
a gravel surface opposed to a concrete surface the entire lane.
Item #8 refers to the future truck loading area and associated
driveway shall be paved and provided for immediate usage. The site
10
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
is presently a gravel surface area and should not be hydroseeded
as the plans indicated but should remain in it's existing
condition. The staff report recommends paving this area to avoid
car parking on the hydroseeded areas. The Zoning Code will require
17 parking stalls for this use. We propose on our plan to provide
24 stalls. There' s a surplus of 7 parking stalls, there should not
be an additional requirement for parking on the area. The second
comment had been that. . .to facilitate the use of the proposed site
by delivery vehicles and to prevent truck maneuvering on 77th
Avenue, essentially the site plan indicates a clear distance in
front of our trucking doors of 155 feet. That' s 55 feet in excess
of what the Code would require at a 100 foot distance. ' The site
plan also proposes two access driveways which are proposed to
promote one-way access which provide a maximum on site maneuvering
of delivery vehicles. I felt that the paved area, if it were to
be imposed on the north side of the building, would just confuted
more surface water to the open drainage ditches already being used.
And in comment to the last item in regards to the conditional
exception requiring the waiver of the 50 foot setback, we would
request that it be waived to grant a five foot setback from the
east property line in light of 100 foot railroad right of way
immediately adjoining the property to the east in light that the
Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code establish the standards
and methods of construction necessary to be able to build in that
type of location. Any questions?
Hunter: O.k. Your testimony about Uniform Building Code and
Uniform Fire Code. . . I 'm trying to get. . .trying to get a fix on
that. . . it' s the first that I 've seen it raised regarding the file.
Those codes weren't mentioned. Is your testimony that there' s a
conflict. . . it does not allow the setback. . .
Hallstrom: What I 'm trying to point out. . . .
Hunter: Or that it would cost more, I 'm just not quite sure.
Hallstrom: No, the Zoning Code is the codes upon which they are
used to make the determination of salvaging(?) this report and the
conditions imposed upon a project.
Hunter: Correct. . . setback. . . .
Hallstrom: And before we have those conditions imposed upon us,
I want to make the point that there are provisions within the
Building Codes that will enable us to protect the public safety and
welfare by constructing the building with certain means and methods
to be able to ensure that happens. If this requirement were to be
11
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
imposed upon a project at this point in time, we would not have the
opportunity at that point in time to come back and make any
deviations to the plan.
Hunter: O.k. , so your testimony is, correct me if I 'm
misparaphrasing, but I want to understand it. . .
Hallstrom: Sure.
Hunter: Is that the protections provided in UBC and Uniform
Fire. . .
Hallstrom: Code.
Hunter: are, Code, would exceed protections provided by 50 foot
setback or would be inappropriate.
Hallstrom: I don't know. . .
Hunter• O.k.
Hallstrom: If in fact the building were to be constructed as
proposed by the Planning Department, the setback requirement for
the hazardous occupancy, as a result, the exterior wall protection
enclosing those occupancies would be of a less fire resistive
standard than what we would propose by the location where
positioned. Obviously, there would be an additional 35 foot
buffering distance on our site that would not be a part of our
application.
Hunter: Then could you explain briefly to me what some of those
Code requirements might be?
Hallstrom: As the regs. . .
Hunter: In the UBC and the Uniform Fire Code?
Hallstrom: O.k. They dictate the fire resistive standards
required to enclose these occupancies.
Hunter: O.k. Specifically, as to the type of use you are
proposing?
Hallstrom: That is correct. Yes, and in a location that we
proposed the requirement for that exterior wall and coded for that
occupancy, five feet from the property line, would require a four-
hour fire resistive wall, which is the most fire resistive wall
12
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
recognized by the Uniform Building Code and I guess the ultimate
-point that we are trying to make is that pubic safety and welfare
can still be maintained in that location in light of the 100 foot
railroad right of way which would provide an essentially 105 foot
buffer distance between the exterior wall of the building and the
property immediately east of this site.
Hunter: O.k. Thank you. Further testimony of this application?
Yes, sir. Do you swear affirm to tell the truth and the whole
truth in the testimony you are about to give?
Gary Volchok: Yes I do. My name is Gary Volchok, V as in Victor,
o-1-c-h-o-k, 1600 Park Place. I 'm with Coldwell Banker, a real
estate company and I 'm here not only talking for the applicant but
also for three of the four surrounding property owners that are
adjacent to this property. First of all, I might mention that
prior to the adoption of the hazardous ordinances, the City of Kent
adopted, we had come in, I say we, Emerald City had come in
previous and were looking at another site. We came in. . .we applied
for a permit that time and were told to get a conditional use
permit. This is now about a year ago and we were told. . . a
conditional use. . .the Planning Director. . .we in turn did not think
that we would be. . .we had to do that because of the fact the name
of the company was Emerald City Pharmaceuticals, Inc. , it was
automatically, outrightly allowed to be into an M3 which is the
heaviest zoning that Kent has. We then. . .the Planning Director
suggested that well, go to the Hearing Examiner. . .not Hearing
Examiner, excuse me, the Board of Adjustment and see what they say.
We said o.k. so went to the Board of Adjustment. The Board there
and we made our case there as did the City make their case and they
agreed with us at that time that the Emerald City Chemical, Inc. ,
because of the size of the products that they carry and so forth
did not require a conditional use permit. Subsequently from that
the site that we had tied up got too large for what we wanted to
do and economics didn't work and the site that we were looking at
previously was zoned M3 , was in Kent, located about three-quarters
of a mile south between the railroad tracks, zoned M3 and even
adjacent to another chemical user, I think its Chempro or
Fiberchem. . . .Fiberchem. So, we in turn, passed on that site
subsequently in looking at this site here. . . in that period of time
the hazardous material ordinance was adopted and the City stated,
'loops, sorry, we've got this ordinance now, you have to know go get
a conditional use permit. Yet now has changed, the exact same
scenario is being done on this site as was being on the other site.
Actually, this building is a little bit smaller than the other
building. Previously, on the other site we were also located next
to the railroad right of way. . . . (unclear) now located next to a
13
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
railroad right of way but we are also located next to the railroad
right of way and Puget Sound Power and Light right of way. The
City of Kent Engineering Department and Building Department does
look at and does include when they start talking about setbacks,
for the numbers game as opposed to the Planning Department who
looks at more of a philosophical type game if you want to use. . . .as
railroad setbacks as Puget Power Light right of way setbacks as
being able to be used just as street rights of way are being able
to be used for these required setbacks. I just want kind of
comment and let me clarify that a little bit more with relation to
that aspect of it.
Hunter: Well, yeah, I appreciate that Mr. Volchok. I guess I 'll
take notice that we have a deliberative process of government
and. . .
Volchok: Unfortunately.
Hunter: And what we want to do is focus on the application. . .
Volchok: That' s what I 'm going to do right now. On the first
item, by the way, that I would like to talk on, is the fact that
the lot. . . it talks right here about lot line adjustments to
eliminate the internal lot lines to be required prior to
development and unless the applicant wishes to meet Code
requirements for each individual lot. This property is in what the
call the Town of Van and was annexed to the City umpteen years ago
that used to be residential lot. When it was, I don't know,
because I 've been done here working on lands for 20 years and, as
a matter of fact, this was my first sale I made in 1971. I sold
it originally to Central Pre-Mix to concrete the property and at
that time it was just a farm and the Kato's lived on it. The City
Engineering Department, the King County Board of Adjustment, the
King County Assessor' s Office, all recognize this property as being
one ownership. It may have a legal description of being lots 1
through 8 or whatever it is, the Town of Van. But in reality it
is under one taxing statement (unclear) and the Engineering
Department for the City of Kent recognizes this also thus not
having to go in and in realty waste the time and money to eliminate
the lot lines between each of these lots. It just happens to be
the legal description of this property. It is not a unplatted
piece of property, one tax lot number, it is a platted piece of
property but still has one tax lot number. So, I just want to
comment on that that it' s something that is superfluous and is not
necessary to do and, like I say, the Engineering Department for the
City of Kent as well as the County recognizes it as one legal lot
or one legal ownership, pardon me. And besides, would be rather,
14
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
each individual lot could not be developed on because they are less
than the required lot size per the M3 zoning. By the way, in
answer to question #2 , about the 200 foot setback from Mill Creek,
at the closest point this property is to Mill Creek, which is to
the west of this property, across 77th and across the property
across the street is 260 feet. They asked for a 200 foot right of
way, the closest this property comes is 260 feet to the west. To
the south it is 690 feet, I believe, where it crosses under 77th
and then goes back under the railroad tracks. So that kind of
clarifies that point as to the. . .
Hunter: Can you describe how you measured that; did you pace it
off, did you tape it or is it on the map?
Volchok: It ' s on a map. You can go to the King County Assessor' s
map and just. . .
Hunter: And that' s what you did, that's your testimony is that
you went to a map.
Volchok: Yeah, we have the map right here if you would like to
enter it, I can do so.
Hunter: It would be appropriate. This is a map. . .a copy of a map
from. . .where? Assessor' s map from King County, you obtained this
from King County and it shows the site and, can you indicate, where
it shows Mill Creek.
Volchok: This is Mill Creek right here. Drainage District #1 is
what is called Mill Creek. The property under discussion is this
property right here. So this would be the closest point, I guess,
right along in here.
Hunter: O.k. , let have this marked as an exhibit. Exhibit 4 , I
guess, is that where we are? Do you want to refer to it further
in testimony?
Volchok• No.
Hunter: Ordinarily, it becomes part of the file. o.k.
Volchok: The only other item, I guess, that I would like to
comment is speaking for. . .there should be a letter in the file. . . I
know it was sent by Mike Chimenti. I don't know if that' s been
entered into the file or not or passed on. O.k. that was for
the. . .
15
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
Hunter: I 'm looking for a letter. . .
Volchok: There was a letter that was sent into the file from Mike
Chimenti from the Chimenti and Jewett Trust. They own the property
adjacent to this property on the south. And they made the comment
and have instructed me. . .allowed me to say the same thing, that
they have no problem with the project as it is designed on the
subject site. Just a short, one page letter.
Hunter: Oh, here it is.
Volchok: I 've also been instructed. . .
Hunter: I will note that. . .we' ll place that in the file. It has
been received. . .the letter you testified to.
Volchok: I have also been instructed to say that the property
owner of the west side of 77th, starting at the North Central Pre-
Mix Concrete that have their batch plant at the north, they
obviously have no problem with this type of facility being built
across the street from their exiting facility. Also, Tri-State
Construction Company which owns the four acres directly across the
street from this property. . . I can point out on that map if you
would like me too. . .they have gotten a conditional use permit for
a concrete crushing plant. They also have no objection with this
operation being built across the street and the reminder of the
property, south of that four acres, down to the creek, owned by
Bruce McCann and subsequently Zep a manufacturing, who are also
putting in a similar facility but not quite, did not have go for
a conditional use permit, not sure why we did and they didn't. But
anyway, they didn't have too, they also stated to us that they have
no problem with this facility being built here. So in essence on
three sides, other than the railroad, everybody is in favor of this
facility.
Hunter: Can I ask you exactly, you mentioned, I guess, at the
beginning of your testimony that you are speaking for the applicant
as well as several other, three others I think you said, property
owners. And, who are the three other property owners? From the
testimony that you just gave, some of which is, what we call
hearsay, but others which you are speaking as an agent for. . .
Volchok• Yes.
Hunter: What three property owners?
16
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
Volchok: Central Pre-Mix Concrete, the Tri-State Construction
Company, McCann Construction Company.
Hunter: O.k.
Volchok: And, well, you have the letter from the Chimenti and
Jewett trust.
Hunter: Right. O.k.
Volchok: If you would like me to show on the map where each of
these people are I can just point if you would like. me to.
Hunter: I would understand that they are surrounding property
owners, is that appropriate.
Volchok: Yes, yes, o.k. Might also. . .well, that' s all. Thank
you.
Hunter: Further testimony in this application. Yes, sir? Raise
your hand, do you swear affirm to tell the truth and the whole
truth in the testimony you' re about to give.
Glenn Dodge: Yes, I do.
Hunter: State your name.
Dodge: My name is Glenn Dodge. I 'm the owner of Emerald City
Chemical. I. . .current office address is 1403 East Madison in
Seattle. I ' ll run through the proposed conditions to this. Some
of which are of concern to our project. And I ' ll probably
duplicate some that' s already been said but I ' ll go ahead and do
that anyway. Item 1 with relation to the zoning, changing the
property or lot lines. I, unfortunately, don't understand what
the purpose behind the City asking for that is. But, I can find
no necessary reason as it has been stated. The fact that the
property is one contiguous lot on the City' s LID proposal for this
area, they indicated in their eyes as one lot and the County,
according to the County, which I had a personal conversation with
two days ago, their records indicate it as one parcel and one tax
lot. So, I don't see any gain to the City or our project requiring
the time and expense with eliminating these five internal lot lines
from the County records.
On 3 , which is relation to the setback requirements. One of the
greatest concerns. . .we've been in the chemical business for some
years and very conscious of keeping track of where our materials
17
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
are and how they are handled. This requirement by the Fire Codes
and Building Codes for external exits from hazardous sources
locations is one of the main concerns. . .main happenings you have
to follow when building these units. To change the building and
move the hazardous materials storage areas internal to the building
to allow the 40 foot as suggested by the City, would eliminate
totally the possibility of the additions that we would require in
the future to add to the building. It would make the building a
long, narrow width unit that would not be as serviceable and would
make have of the property unusable. Again, that fact that the
Building Department. . .the Building Codes and Fire Codes
specifically allow for the use of the railroad and other such right
of ways to be used in conjunction with setback requirements, I feel
it should be. . .make it allowable in this situation. Other than
that, our waiver of that might read, excuse me, "the 50 foot
setback required for hazardous substances land use facility shall
be waived for the entire length of the east property line bordering
the railroad right of way of the proposed site" . This is what
I. . .we feel would be. . . follow the guidelines of the Building and
Fire Codes and the City has already said that yes, a waiver of some
sorts was in their mind also. Taking these together, the five foot
space between the building and the property line should be
acceptable.
Item 5. Relates to the storage of materials outdoors. I would
like to submit a number of photographs showing
neighboring. . .showing neighboring businesses and businesses within
from a few 1, 000 feet to a mile or two miles.
Hunter: Do you want these introduced as an exhibit for the file.
Dodge: Please.
Hunter: Is it all right if we take them together, through A to
number 6. Let' s see there are, 1, 2 , 3 ,4, 5, 6,7, 8 photos.
Dodge: That' s correct.
Hunter: O.k. Mark all eight as Exhibit #5.
Dodge: You will notice, when you look at them, the first section,
the first three pictures are labeled 2A, 2B and 2C; these are
pictures taken yesterday of the existing facilities at Crosby &
Overton which is a hazardous waste handling and disposal site
approximately 1, 000 feet north of this area. You will notice in
these pictures all around the building are stored outdoors
material . . .drums of materials. Although it is. . .we found
18
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
exceptionally hard to blow these pictures up to a size that you
could read the drums, it you were to visit this site you would
notice that in the front of these stacks. . .these drums are labeling
there hazardous conditions. . .oxidizers, flammables, corrosives and
the like. So it's a common practice in businesses that have to use
hazardous materials that these materials be stored outside.
Hunter: Let me. . . I ' ll note for the record that the Hearing
Examiner has visited the site. It is customary for us to do that
prior to hearing so I have visited.
Dodge: o.k. The. . . another. . .picture #3 is a site previously
mentioned as Fiberchem. It is again an area that stores hazardous
materials and they also have materials stored outside. Picture 4
is a picture of the yard, Van Waters & Rogers Industrial which is
on 212th. This picture again shows drums stored outside. Again,
showing the common place of this and picture 5A and 5B are pictures
of Chem Central which is north of us here and again showing outside
storage of these products and picture 6 is a picture up in the City
of Tukwila showing the outdoor storage of potential hazardous
products just to show you that neighboring cities do this also.
In addition, the Fire Code specifically allows and regulates this
storage in Sections of 88 Uniform Fire Code 79 Division 4 80. 305.B,
80. 306 . B, 80 . 310 . B, 80. 314 .B, 80. 315.B all relate to the outdoor
storage of hazardous materials and how they will be handled and
so. . .outside of the fact I don't see any provisions in the
ordinance to give the allowance to not allow outdoor storage, the
containment and the use of these products are specifically outlined
and set up for in the. . . specifically in the Fire Code.
Hunter: With all that storage going on then I would imagine that
you looked at the site you are interested in as to any leakage from
that storage. Has there been any contamination of the soil on that
site. The property that you are proposing?
Dodge: The property that I 'm proposing to work with has had no
apparent storage of these types of materials in the past and I have
no concern which is of great concern these days with pollution and
the like especially as related to who's responsible to clean it up
such as the person buying the property gets put on the tab. I have
no concerns at this time that this property has been affected and
I believe that was the statement of the City also that they have
no information that this has been a problem in the past. We would
certainly continue to strive to make this not a problem. We have
been on our present site for five years and have not had the
problem to date there either. We are very aware of the
requirements and how to conduct ourselves with these products. The
19

other thing that maybe should be mentioned too in relation to these
types of products that this is only a portion of our business. We
aren't solely a hazardous materials handling company.
Approximately maybe 30 to 35 percent of the products are these and
the rest are not, of course, not listed here and weren't the reason
for us coming here. But, we are a well rounded company.
Hunter: Are you proposing those other activities for this site as
well or is this predominately. . .
Dodge: No this site is used as stated by the City, is used for
the storage and handling of organic and inorganic materials,
chemicals and the like. That is an all encompassing figure. The
specific reason that we are here today is because some of those
items that we propose to handle fall under .the hazardous category
and so that is why we are here but the entire. . .the focus of the
project is as stated that we will handle an encompassing amount of
materials. O.k. , the, let's see, one other comment, it was brought
up earlier that this ordinance is a new ordinance, this is the
first time it has been put to task. I had talked to Kathy some
weeks ago and the comment was made that they. . . it had been an
interesting process in working with this that there were some
perimeters that were found a little bit harder to work with than
others and that they would be looking to although it could not
happen within this time frame to possibly changing some of these
as they are reviewed the process both with our project and, I 'm
sure, future projects.
Hunter: How is that relevant to today' s proceeding?
Dodge: It' s relevant from the aspect that we are asking for a
variance from these codes and this code was written or introduced,
I believe, in September of last year so it is a new process and,
therefore, I feel, especially should allow for the possibility of
variances as we learn how the writings. I 'm familiar how writings
go and we write lots of things and we try and we do our darnedest
and I think they done an excellent job with putting this on paper
but there are things that we have to work out as with every
ordinance and ruling. The. . .also in that context I would like to
bring up that the quarter mile limitation to a public thoroughfare
and the 50 foot setback arrived with this September ordinance.
They were not a. . .also including the 200 foot limit to a creekbed
such as Mill Creek were arrived with this new ordinance. So these
are new tests items that are coming into play. The. . .we
participated in the LID conference for this project. One of the
concerns is the traffic mitigations and this type of sort. It is
our understanding at this time that the City has on their table
20 "'
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
enough affirmative plans, affirmations to building plans and the
like that allows immediate introduction of this LID when they are
sufficiently ready. This was from this meeting. One of the
concerns at that time were the traffic light for most of the
people, they didn't care about the road, they thought the road was
sufficient for immediate neighboring needs but it was the fact that
we didn't have a traffic light at the corner and there was some
talk and I proposed and wrote a letter talking about that. The
hauling of hazardous materials with Crosby & Overton being on four
plus acres and covering that entire piece, Van Waters & Rogers in
the other direction and covering probably in the neighborhood
eight to ten acres, they are much larger companies that we are-.
They haul much more material of this kind than we. . .well, not that
we hope to dream, but then we will ever on this site certainly.
The amount of traffic that we will put on the road is going to be
minimal compared to what's already on the road in this area. Our
main focus of our business is to package large quantities to small
quantities so a majority of our. . .significant. . .well, let' s make
it a significant amount of our stock is packaged in one-gallon,
five-gallon, one-pint containers although we do bring in drums to
package these down with. Again, meeting the appropriate codes to
do so. These are individually containered materials. The chance
of spills arising from them; therefore, significantly less. You
punch a one-pint bottle you get a lot less spill than if you punch
a drum or a tanker truck. We don't have tanker facilities and so
we don 't have threat.
The, I believe, that outlines what I came to say.
Hunter: O.k. I have some questions.
Dodge: Sure.
Hunter: The waste disposal methods, the processing that is
involved and whether there are waste products produced from some
of the. . .
Dodge: In our current operation, we do not have waste products
produced as outline in the appropriate SARA III 's and the outlines
that way. We don't fall into that category. There is one term of
waste which becomes in our process maybe an unlabeled bottle. That
isn't really generated waste, that is a waste by some other means
I guess. Those products all go to approved, at this time point we
use Northwest Envirol, but have used Crosby also. But, those go
to the approved sites. But in terms of waste generator we don't. . .
21

#CE-89-7
Hunter: What types of products are you referring to then that
would approved. . .
Dodcre Some where we have packaged a number of containers and maybe
a label has fallen off where we are sufficiently satisfied that we
can determine the exact item in the container then we certainly
don't want it on the market and so it has to go and be disposed of
appropriately as opposed to. . .you cannot afford to test items, for
those type of quantities. .
Hunter: And the larger containers that you received that you then
repackage. . .
Dodge: Yes.
Hunter: A discarded container is that hazardous?
Dod e: The. . .most containers are received as a deposit container
thereby being returns when emptied to the original sender. This
plan pretty much encompasses all of the flammable products and
hazard products because they are usually packaged in much sturdier
containers that are not economically thrown away.
Hunter: So, this operation does not. . .do you have a federal permit
for this type of operation then?
Dod e: There is. . .there are no permits. We do work with the EPA
in as far as pesticides. Some of their regulations, the FDA gets
into the picture on certain products. Not that you can't sell the
products but if you sell it to be used on a horse then you have to
follow different guidelines but specifically, as a business, there
are no requirements.
Hunter: I guess what I 'm thinking of is in the staff report and
on the DNS conditions, this reference to Title III requirements for
contingency plans in the event of some emergency.
Dodge: Correct. . .correct. The contingency plan is based on your
own, well it' s in SARA III but it directs it to your own area's
Planning Commission and we participate and file those currently
with the City of Seattle. At the last filing we had seven products
that had to be filed under their regulations out of whatever it
might be three to five thousand that we might handle. The reasons
for that is the fact of our small quantities. A lot of these
materials you don't report until you get over x hundred gallons and
we just don't have that large of quantities in most of the
products. As I say, the last reporting was seven products.
22
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
Hunter: The last reporting of the types of products you handle?
Dodge: Of the types of products that we have to file pertaining
to the SARA III, we turned in a list of seven products.
Hunter: O.k. Is there also a release report that's filed then?
Dodge: We don't have the requirement in our business to file a
release report. We don't have the use of product to do that. The
only by-product but we've never had that problem is from a spill
if we go overr -a certain quantity then the spill enforces that but
as a general business requirement we don't fall into that.
Hunter: O.k. Is your intent to restrict business operations then
to these, I guess, the seven that had been specified or would there
be possible expansion. . .
Dodcre: No, well, I can't control how the government is going to
add and subtract chemicals from the list and change their volumes.
I just submitted a letter the other day with respect to some
proposed changes that they are looking at in determining these
quantities . I don't have any control over what that might happen.
We certainly will supply those documents when needed pertaining to
any other rules. I think. . .
Hunter: Are you familiar with the consolidated chemical list then
that EPA prepares?
Dodge: Certainly.
Hunter: And the seven you referred to the ones on the list?
Dodge: Off that list, right. The other thing that, I think, you
referred to, the LIPC whatever the reporting requirements, we
currently have for our current facility an operating and safety
structure manual and, I think, it asks for that within 60 days or
so and there ' s certainly no problem with that. We have a
consulting company that worked on that one and they would just take
it and turn it around and match it to our current facility so
that's probably a one week process because we have this in hand.
Hunter: O.k. Do you export out of the U.S. any products?
Dodge: Canada. Pretty much the only place we go.
23
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
Hunter: Your testimony is there's one facility presently operating
in Seattle is that. . .do I understand you right and you are
relocating?
Dodcte: We are relocating, yes.
Hunter: And you've had no releases of any hazardous substances at
Dodge: That is correct.
Hunter: And you generated waste at that site, hazardous waste but
in what quantities?
Dodge: The, I guess, I would put an average of 55 gallons because
we try to consolidate, you know, as these things go in a four to
six month period. We had to change our systems around
significantly. Years ago we used, somebody would walk up to our
door with a container that they didn't know what to do with such
as happens on these community things and we'd say sure we would
take it off your hands. We ended up with a significant quantity
of these and the Fire Department here last fall decided those
shouldn't be on our site any more so our community effort costs us
about $25, 000 to dispose of these products but you live and learn,
I guess, and as we change we all grow with it. Unfortunately, we
don't take products from people any more. We just can't afford to.
Hunter: Fifty-five gallons once every four to six months. So you
are well below thresholds for any reporting then.
Dome: Right.
Hunter: O.k. Thank you very much.
Dod e: Thank you.
Hunter: Does anyone else wish to testify in this application. I
see a couple of people from the City. Did you want to go first.
McClung: I just wanted to address the reasoning behind the lot
line adjustment requirement or request. Obviously, the City
wouldn't require this if we had not been burned by it before on
other situations. We, I found it somewhat humorous to hear the
argument since that exact argument has been used in reverse where
lots have been platted and now they have been consolidated to one
tax lot. The County will do exactly the opposite and tell us that
although it has been consolidated for tax purposes they are still
24
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
separate lots and we have to view them as separate lots for zoning
purposes and we have in the past. And, so a few years ago we had
a couple of situations where there were more than one lot on a
development and then portions of those lots were sold off even, in
one instance, portions of a lot where the building have been built
over the property line. So, we came up with a written policy that
says that lot lines have to be eliminated if. . .unless they can
stand on their own so that if they do get sold off in the future
they all meet the Zoning Code. There was an objection to the time
and money that this would cost. I think I should clarify that what
we require is three copies of nothing more than the assessor' s map
that they have provided you with lines pointing to what will be
eliminated. There is no fee from the City's standpoint, we process
it in a couple of days, it does have to be recorded with King
County and there is a recording charge but it' s nominal. And if
they record it with. . . if they submit it within the next few days
before our ordinance that was passed last night becomes effective
they don't even have to provide a title report or verification of
who the owners are. That' s all I have on that. Oh, I guess I
could add one thing, if they can get verification from the County
that those were never considered separate lots we would require
them to be eliminated.
Hunter: O.k. And what would serve as verification from the
County, a written statement.
McClung: Um-hum.
Hunter: O.k. Thank you. Yes, Lauri.
Anderson: I wanted to clarify just a couple of points about some
of the conditions. The first thing that I wanted to bring up was
the 40 foot setback requirement that seemed to have generated quite
a bit of controversy. The suggestion that we were making was that
these rooms which are the hazardous substance rooms be reversed
with this which is a nonhazardous substance area so that their' s
would still be a wall access out here and that this loading door
could potentially come down at this end and service this portion
of the site in the back. So, in other words, we are not asking
that the whole building be relocated we are asking that the rooms
be flipped. They would both still maintain an outdoor wall. In
terms of expansion, I 'm not sure how that would effect expansion
assuming they continue the hazardous materials expansion could
continue this way just as a nonhazardous materials expansion. We
checked with the Fire Department about their requirements and
discussed with them the possibility of reversing the room pattern
and they felt that was all right. As this is the first hazardous
25
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
substance land use facility hearing, again, we want to set a
precedent and the requirement of a 50 foot setback from a property
line was not for aesthetic reasons or other reasons, it was for
safety reasons. If the railroad right of way, just a street right
of way, could be considered in the setback as perhaps the Planning
or the Building and Fire Departments do. We do not think the
public safety would be adequately protected particularly in
reference to a street right of way although the railroad right of
way and the possibility of, however, unlikely a train derailment
is also an issue.
The second thing I wanted to bring up was the use of this area
which we are recommending be paved for immediate usage. From going
to the site, I think you saw that people frequently use that for
parking and large trucks for maneuvering because 77th is
inadequate. There aren't very many driveways off the street and
people need a place to turn around since it's a dead end. For that
reason and presuming also that there might be more than one truck
on site at a time we had suggested that that area be paved.
Regardless of that issue, if the area is to be used for any sort
of parking and maneuvering, it must be paved it cannot remain as
a gravel pad per Zoning Code requirement. If it is not going to
be paved, then it should be landscaped also per Zoning Code
requirements and not remain in it' s graveled state.
Finally, with regard to the outdoor storage, we're focusing on a
specific site here, not at a variety of other sites throughout the
City which were in place before our new requirements went into
effect. I think we are concerned about the proximity of this to a
very major drainage ditch on the other side of the railroad right
of way. We don't know what the groundwater situation is in that
area. There' s a drainage ditch, seasonal though it may be, to the
east of the property and one which runs along the road. The
requirement about outdoor storage of hazardous materials went into
place because of a concern over the possibility of leaking barrels,
possibility of some sort of gaseous escape, I don't know whether
that' s a possibility but settling onto open water, that kind of
thing. We did not put restrictions on other kinds of storage, we
did request that it be fenced which again is a requirement of the
Zoning Code and which is not complied with by many of the property
owners in that area. And, that was all I wanted to add.
Hunter: Let me ask for clarification on the storage within an
enclosed building. Is that. . .the source for that is in the
ordinance, the hazardous substance ordinance?
Anderson: The source for. . .
26
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
Hunter: For that condition, I 'm trying to. . .
Anderson: About the outdoor storage?
Hunter: Yes, I 'm trying to determine which. . .
Anderson: Right. Outdoor storage is permitted in the M3 zone as
long as it' s fenced for public safety and security reasons and that
refers to hazardous materials as well. However, we felt that an
additional condition was necessary because of this particular site
and it's proximity to the waterways.
Hunter: O.k. Thank you. Any further testimony. Yes sir,
Mr. Dodge.
Dodcte: A comment I would like to make is on this building flip.
Understand that if we were to flip these rooms to this side, that
makes this whole area which is designated as a proposed addition
to the building at some future time infeasible. Because we would
have to have these doors along that wall and thereby was my
statement previously of eliminating half the property as being able
to be built on because we could not build to the west then because
these doors would be stopping that. We would not have the exterior
wall that we are trying to build there so because of that is way
we don't see a way around having thee rooms on that east boundary.
Again, the. . .we do have this ten foot wall. . .ten foot berm that the
railroad is built on. I 'm not sure how we perceive some kind of
material is going to make it 100. . .a minimum of 105 feet away over
this ten foot berm. Now I realize, yes, things flow through the
ground but it' s a long ways on compacted material, it' s highly
unlikely, I would think. I 'm not an engineer though. Let see. . .I
think that was my statement.
Hunter: O.k. Any further testimony, concerns? Yes, sir?
Mr. Volchok, please the microphone. . . it' s all recorded.
Volchok: Again, on the lot line situation. Even though, you say,
it takes a letter, this building is going to be built on all tax
lots. We could not in any way sell off the tax lots, i.e. because
it would not be a legal size lot in the City of Kent and as happens
numerous times, the City' s own Engineering Department is in
disagreement with the Planning Department on this issue. They, in
turn, look at a number of tax lots or lots 1, 2 , 3 so forth, as under
one ownership as being one lot and it really is. . .I don't know what
the word is, the adjective, but it' s something that in the
industrial properties, even in Olympia, they have adopted a
27
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
situation where you can go up to nine lots and not have to "plat"
just go into a short plat into nine lots. O.k. the City of Kent
does have a short plat requirement which all industrial parks
adhere to. The Kent Valley Industrial Park with relation to
properties there, they have joint setbacks for example from one lot
to another lot. But here, because we are building and Mr. Dodge
is building on. . .there will be a building across all of the tax
lots including a vacated street that' s in there which was just
vacated by the City.
Hunter: O.k. So you object to it, is it silly or is it too
cumbersome or what?
Volchok: I think it' s work. Silly, to cumbersome, I just think
it' s something that' s not necessary in this situation.
Hunter: Why is it to cumbersome, we had testimony that it was a
simple process? Are you disagreeing that it' s simple to do or. . .
Volchok: Oh, I 'm not disagreeing that it' s not simple to do. I 'm
just saying that I think it' s silly to do from the standpoint that
there own Engineering and Building Department look at it as not
being something that is required or not being something that
is. . .date. . .they require when you go in for the building permit.
You know when you' re working with numbers an exact dimensions when
you go into an Engineering Department, unfortunately, Planning
sometimes things are drawn (unclear) they want to have for the
public safety, and it ' s good, but I guess my opinion is and I 've
always thought this issue is not something that needs to be brought
up that Mr. Dodge even spend the money or the time to have to do.
Hunter: O.k. , your opinion' s been recorded and we' ll take it into
account. Thank you very much, any further testimony. Seeing none
we will then close the record on Emerald City Chemical.

KENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
FOR HEARING EXAMINER MEETING OF JUNE 71 1989
FILE NO: EMERALD CITY CHEMICAL #CE-89-7
APPLICANT: Thomas A. Sconzo
REOUEST: A conditional use permit for the use of an
existing 3 , 224 square foot building and a new
8 , 358 square foot addition for corporate offices
and the mixing, packaging, warehousing and
distribution of organic and inorganic chemicals.
This request is provided for in Section
15. 04 . 190 (C) (12) of the Kent Zoning Code which
regulates hazardous substance land uses.
STAFF
REPRESENTATIVE: Lauri Anderson
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION: CONDITIONAL APPROVAL
M I. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Description of the Proposal
The applicant has applied for a conditional use permit to
locate corporate offices and an organic/inorganic chemical
packaging, mixing and storage operation in the M3 , General
Industrial, zone. The proposal would utilize an existing
3 , 224 square foot building (presently occupied by Central
Pre-Mix offices) , along with an 8 , 358 square foot
addition.
Section 15. 04 . 190 (C) (12) of the Kent Zoning Code requires
a conditional use permit for this type of use, which
involves more than 20, 000 pounds of hazardous substances
on site. The proposed use is classified as a hazardous
substance land use facility.
The applicant has indicated that the handling and storage
of all hazardous chemicals will be contained within rooms
designed for the specific product.

Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
B. Location
The subject property is located between 77th Avenue S. and
the Burlington Northern right-of-way, just to the north
of vacated Harrison Street. The site includes vacated S.
208th Street.
C. Size of Property
The property is approximately 52 , 080 square feet in size.
D. Zoning
The property is zoned M3 , General Industrial .
Surrounding property to the north, south and west is also
zoned M3 , General Industrial . Property to the east is
zoned M2 , Limited Industrial .
The lot exceeds the minimum lot size as specified in the
development standards for the M3 , General Industrial,
zone. Site coverage will be less than the 75 percent
maximum requirement. The building height meets the two-
story or 35 feet limitation. Other development standards,
however, are not met under the proposed site plan.
Side yard landscaping is not shown along the northern
perimeter of the site. This landscaping (a minimum of 5
feet in width) is required by the Zoning Code.
Landscape islands (minimum of 100 square feet) are not
provided at the eastern ends of the parking rows.
Eliminating the two easternmost stalls and replacing them
with the required landscape islands would provide a 5 foot
hammerhead maneuvering area, necessary for traffic safety
as users back out of adjoining stalls. Such a parking
modification would not reduce the number of stalls below
the required amount for the use as currently envisioned.
At the time of future expansion, additional parking may
be required.
The 10 foot-wide required front yard landscaping is not
shown along the entire 77th Avenue S . frontage. Such
landscaping should be extended along the future truck
loading area.
Dock high doors must be screened from adjacent streets by
a minimum 20-foot berm and landscaping. Berming of the
2
Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
front yard landscaping in the vicinity of the proposed
dock high door will be required.
Man doors to the rear of the site open out into proposed
plantings. A sidewalk to facilitate pedestrian
circulation should be provided in this area.
The building site appears to contain several independent
lots. Lot line adjustments to eliminate internal lot
lines will be required prior to development, unless the
applicant wishes to meet code requirements for each lot
individually.
Waste disposal methods (including dumpsters for
nonhazardous waste) are not shown or described. Dumpsters
must be screened from view from surrounding properties and
the street, and must be surrounded by landscaping. If
hazardous waste is generated by this proposal, additional
regulatory measures may be required.
The requirements for siting a hazardous substance land use
facility require that it must be 200 feet from streams
delineated on the Hazard Area Limitations Map. While Mill
Creek appears to be located more than 200 feet to the west
of this development, the applicant should provide
information on the exact distance to the creek from the
proposed site to determine whether or not this condition
has been met.
Hazardous substance land use facilities are also
prohibited within one-quarter mile (13201 ) of public
recreation areas. The proposed development is
approximately 1, 000 feet from the Interurban Trail--a King
County bicycle and pedestrian trail. A conditional
exception from this condition would be necessary to allow
the proposed Emerald City Chemical siting. As trail
users typically pass through the area and do not
congregate in the vicinity, and as the trail could be
closed if necessary, such a conditional exception could
be supported.
The building does not meet the required 50 foot setback
from all property lines. Although this setback is met
along the northern, western and southern perimeters
(including the 77th Avenue S. frontage) , the eastern
perimeter of the structure has only a 5 foot setback from
the property line. The eastern perimeter of the site runs
3
Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
along the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way, which
is at a 10 foot higher elevation than the subject
property. Nevertheless, passenger trains and possible
future commuter rail services use the tracks. The
applicant should relocate the hazardous substances portion
of the development to the interior portion of the site,
providing the 50 foot buffer along the property lines to
the north, south and west, and a minimum 40 foot buffer
along the eastern property line. A conditional exception
from the 50 foot setback requirement would still be
required under this scenario along the eastern property
line. Because of the isolation of the 77th Avenue S. area
between the railroad tracks, and the narrow depth of the
lot itself (120 feet) , such a conditional exception would
be supported. Future expansion of the hazardous substance
portion of this development would be subject to the 50
foot setback requirement.
At the time of the State Environmental Policy Act
Environmental Checklist submission, the traffic routes
proposed for vehicles using the site involved S. 212th
Street to SR-167 (the Valley Freeway) or to Interstate-5.
Vehicles carrying hazardous substances to Interstate-5
would potentially pass through the A-1, Agricultural Zone.
Hazardous substance land use facility traffic routes are
not to travel through residential zones. The low
residential density of this district (one dwelling unit
per acre maximum) , and the fact that this is not a
required route but one of several alternatives, may
mitigate strict compliance with this requirement.
The proposed development does meet other criteria for
siting a hazardous substance land use facility: it is at
least 200 feet from unstable soils or soils delineated on
the Hazard Area Limitations Map; it is an adequate
distance from residential zones and units; it is at least
500 feet from a public gathering place and agricultural
land/zone; and it is not located in a 100-year floodplain.
The applicant has indicated that the facility will be
constructed with containment controls and shall meet
federal, state, and local design and construction
requirements. The proposal shall comply with Article 80
of the Uniform Fire Code and shall provide for review and
approval by the Kent Fire Department a hazardous substance
spill contingency plan for immediate implementation in the
event of a release of hazardous substances.

These commeAts are based on a preliminary review of the
site plan. Additional conditions required for compliance
with applicable City codes and standards may be
implemented at the time of development/plan review.
E. Comprehensive Plan
The City of Kent first adopted a City-wide Comprehensive
Land Use Plan in 1969 . The goals, objectives and policies
of the Comprehensive Plan represent an expression of
community intentions and aspirations concerning the future
of Kent and the area within the Sphere of Interest. The
Comprehensive Plan is used by the Mayor, City Council,
City Administrator, Planning Commission, Hearing Examiner
and City departments to guide growth, development and
spending decisions. Residents, land developers, business
representatives and others may refer to the plan as a
statement of the City' s intentions concerning future
development.
The City of Kent has also adopted a number of subarea
_. plans that address specific concerns of certain areas of
the City. Like the City-wide Plan, the subarea plans
serve as policy guides for future land use in the City of
Kent. This area is served by the Valley Floor subarea
plan.
The following is a review of these plans as they relate
to the subject property and proposed zoning.
CITY-WIDE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The City-wide Comprehensive Plan Map designates the site
as I, Industrial .
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ELEMENT

OVERALL GOAL: PROVIDE OPTIMUM USAGE AND PRESERVATION OF
THE CITY'S WATERWAYS .
GOAL 1: To permit optimal usage of the City' s waterways
for fish, wildlife habitat, general recreation and
aesthetic enjoyment.

objective 1: Preserve and enhance water quality. .
Planning Department Comment:
This objective supports the policy which works to prevent
pollution of both surface and subsurface water resources.
The proposed development is within an area of two drainage
ditches and Mill Creek. Impervious surface on the site
will be increased with additional building and paving.
Storm water drainage from the site should be carefully
monitored to prevent contamination of the nearby drainage
ditches. The potential for hazardous substance spills
should be minimized and no outdoor storage (which might
allow environmental contamination) should be allowed.
Objective 2 : Preserve and enhance and restore biotic
habitats in waterways, channels and
adjacent lands.
Planning Department Comment:
This objective supports the policy to encourage natural
vegetative cover to be left along waterways by property
owners. Although the drainage ditch immediately to the
east of the subject property is seasonal, existing natural
vegetation should be retained to provide cover and biotic
habitat. This vegetation will also contribute to
biofiltration for any uncontained runoff from the parking
lot and other impervious surfaces.
CIRCULATION ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ESTABLISH A BALANCED, SAFE AND EFFICIENT
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR ALL MODES OF TRAVEL.
GOAL 1: Assure the provision of safe and efficient routes
and terminal facilities for vehicular traffic moving
within and through Kent.
Objective 1: Provide adequate trafficways for both
local and through traffic, separating
the systems when possible.
Objective 2 : Insure adequate facilities for both
truck and vehicular traffic.

Planning Department Comment:
The proposed development is dependent on 77th Avenue S.-
-a currently inadequate roadway--for access. This road
lacks curbs, sidewalks and lane striping and receives much
heavy truck and automobile traffic. Because of the
dangerous nature of the materials which will be shipped
to and from the proposed development, the inadequacy of
77th Avenue S . is of concern.
In addition, the proposed development will add additional
traffic at the intersections of S. 212th Street and the
East and West Valley Highways. These intersections are
currently at capacity Level of Service F.
Although mitigating conditions have been applied through
the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review, the
potential dangers associated with hazardous substance
transfers through a heavily trafficked area must be
considered.
ECONOMIC ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: PROMOTE CONTROLLED ECONOMIC GROWTH WITH
ORDERLY PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT, RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND
PRESERVATION.
GOAL 1: Promote diverse industrial development in
industrially developed areas.
Planning Department Comment:
This goal supports the policy which promotes the location
of heavy industry between the two major rail lines on the
Valley Floor. Emerald City Chemical proposed to locate
in the targeted area between the Burlington Northern and
Union Pacific railroad tracks. The proposal is therefore
in compliance with this City-wide goal.
HUMAN ENVIRONMENT ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ASSURE KENT RESIDENTS AN AESTHETIC AND
HEALTHFUL ENVIRONMENT.

#CE-89-7
GOAL 2 : Assure Kent residents a healthful environment.
Objective 1: Support and enforce programs which
minimize or eliminate pollution of the
environment.
Planning Department Comment:
As a hazardous substance land use facility, Emerald City
Chemical 's operation is of concern from the standpoint of
public safety. As the operation is described as meeting
federal, state and local standards for hazardous substance
storage and handling, no adverse impacts are anticipated.
Careful monitoring of this site to ensure that safety
measures are enforced should protect Kent citizens into
the future.
Information on any hazardous waste generated from this
project should be provided by the applicant to guarantee
that appropriate handling and disposal techniques are
employed. If hazardous waste is generated by this
proposal, additional regulatory measures may be required.
The proposed site is currently used for outdoor storage
of pallets, equipment and old tires. No outdoor storage
should be allowed on the Emerald City Chemical site unless
fencing is provided as required by the Zoning Code, and
no outdoor storage of hazardous substances/wastes should
be permitted. Yards and open areas will be required to
be maintained as described in the Zoning Code.
VALLEY FLOOR PLAN
The Valley Floor Comprehensive Plan Map designates the
site as I, Industry.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: PROMOTE CONTROLLED ECONOMIC GROWTH WITH
ORDERLY PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT, RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND

#CE-89-7
Objective 1: Minimize unnecessary public improvements
and provide efficient municipal
services.
Planning Department Comment:
This goal and objective of the Valley Floor Plan supports
policies which work to provide efficient public services
to businesses locating in Kent. Utilization of an
existing structure (which already has water, sewer and
power service) will conserve the natural resources which
would be necessary to construct and provide service line
extensions to a brand new facility.
Development of the Emerald City Chemical operation at the
proposed location would provide for in-fill development
in an area already served by City of Kent services. This
would provide for orderly physical development and prevent
expansion into the as yet undeveloped areas of the City.
CIRCULATION ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ESTABLISH A BALANCED, SAFE AND EFFICIENT
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR ALL MODES OF TRAVEL.
GOAL 2 : Insure safe and efficient terminal facilities for
both truck and other vehicular traffic.
Objective 1: Provide safe egress and ingress and
adequate on - site traffic
maneuverability.
Planning Department Comment:
This objective supports the policy which works to provide
adequate truck loading and unloading zones. The proposed
development has a single dock-high door targeted for
loading and unloading of materials. A "future" truck
loading area is also designated, which is currently
planned for hydroseeding.
Provision of a loading area for a storage use is critical
to avoid conflicts between vehicular and truck traffic and
to prevent truck maneuvering on the public street. To
avoid use of the hydroseeded area for parking, to
facilitate use of the proposed site by delivery vehicles,
and to prevent truck maneuvering on 77th Avenue S. (a
9
Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
highly-travelled, dead-end, unimproved street) , the
"future" truck loading area (and associated driveway)
should be paved and provided for usage immediately.
II. HISTORY
A. Site History
The subject property was annexed to the City of Kent in
1959 as part of a 2 , 990 acre annexation. The initial
zoning of the site was M-2 , Heavy Industrial. The
property was reclassified in 1973 to M-3 , General
Industrial, with the adoption of the present zoning code.
Central Pre-Mix Company was first issued a business
license in the City of Kent in June of 1971 for its plant
site located at the southwest corner of S. 206th and
77th Avenue S. The existing office building on the
applicant's site (now occupied by Central Pre-Mix
facilities) was constructed in 1979 .
B. Area History
This area is unique in that it is bordered by railroad
tracks to the east and west, physically separating the
land from adjacent properties. The only street access to
the area is via 77th Avenue S. which is a two lane, dead-
end road.
There are a number of industrial developments in the
vicinity of the subject property. These include: the
Central Pre-Mix concrete plant (business license issued
in 1971) ; Crosby and Overton--a facility which processes
waste materials from heavy industrial operations (business
license issued in 1983) ; the South Seattle Auto Auction
(developed in 1979) ; the Sawdust Supply Company (business
license issued in 1983) ; the Metro Hauling truck operation
(business license issued in 1983) ; and a Weyerhaueser
Company facility.
III. LAND USE
The proposed site currently houses the Central Pre-Mix offices,
with an associated prefabricated metal tilt-up building, paved
parking, a gravel lot and outdoor storage. Further north and
10
Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
west, is the Central Pre-Mix Concrete Plant. Directly to the
west is a large, vacant, paved lot. To the south are the Metro
Hauling facilities. On the east side of the site is the
Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way and just beyond that
are several large concrete warehouse buildings.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
A. Environmental Assessment
A final mitigated Declaration of Nonsignificance was
issued for Emerald City Chemical on April 14, 1989 .
(#ENV-89-22) with the following mitigation measures:
1. The proposed project will comply with the Uniform
Fire Code 1988 Edition.
2 . Submittal of a Tier II report on the chemical
inventory of the site as per SARA Title III and the
City of Kent Local Emergency Planning Committee
(LEPC) within 60 days of occupancy.
3 . Cooperate with the Fire Department in the preparation
of a facility plan as required by the LEPC and SARA
Title III. Completion of the Plan shall occur before
issuance of a business license.
4 . The proponent shall keep current inventory records,
and label and date the containers that may be readily
accessed by the Fire Department during an emergency.
5 . Provide storm drainage detention and biofiltration
of runoff prior to it entering the City system.
6. Improve the east half of 77th Avenue South to
collector standards for the entire frontage thereon.
Said improvements shall include asphalt pavement 18
feet in width with curb, gutter, sidewalk, storm
drainage, street lighting and related appurtenances
or execute no protest LID for same.
7 . Execute an agreement to participate in the cost of
overlaying 77th Avenue S. with asphalt pavement a
minimum of two inches in depth. The costs shall be
distributed based on property frontage. This
agreement would be negated upon formation of the LID
11
Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical
WCE-89-7
for the 77th Avenue S. improvement, or improvement
of 77th Avenue S.* by the property owner (as outlined
in Condition #6) .
8 . Execute a signal participation agreement the
installation of a traffic signal at the intersection
of 77th Avenue S. and S. 212th Street. Included in
the traffic signal installation project shall be the
coordination thereof with the rail road crossing
(Burlington Northern tracks) signal and the City' s
computerized traffic signal control system.
9 . The developer shall conduct a traffic study to
identify all traffic impacts upon the City of Kent
road network and traffic signal system. The study
shall identify all intersections at level-of-service
"E" or "F" due to increased traffic volumes from the
development. These intersections are at a threshold
level for traffic mitigation.
The study shall then identify what improvements are
necessary to mitigate the development impacts
thereon. Upon agreement by the City with the
findings of the study and the mitigation measures
outlined in the study, implementation and/or
construction of said mitigation measures shall be the
conditional requirement of the issuance of the
issuance of the respective development permits.
In lieu of conducting the above traffic study,
constructing and/or implementing the respective
mitigation measures hereby, the developer may agree
to the following conditions to mitigate the traffic
impacts resulting from the proposed addition.
A. The developer shall execute an environmental
mitigation agreement to financially participate
and pay a fair share of the costs associated
with the construction of the South
192nd/196th/200th Street corridor project. The
financial obligation to the above development
is estimated at $15, 470 based on 11 PM peak hour
trips entering and leaving the site and the
capacity of both the South 192nd/196th/200th
Street corridor.
12
Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
The execution of this agreement will serve to
mitigate traffic impacts to the above mentioned
intersection and road system by committing for
the 192nd/196th/200th Street corridor, which
will provide additional capacity for traffic
volumes within the area of the above mentioned
development.
B. Significant Physical Features
1. Topociraphy and Hydrology
The subject property is basically flat and level .
To the east, the railroad right-of-way is at an
approximately 10 foot higher elevation than the
surrounding area. There is a significant drainage
ditch between the railroad right-of-way and the site
on the east, and another smaller ditch on the west
side of the site. Across the railroad right-of-way
to the east is a very large drainage ditch.
2 . Vegetation
The drainage ditch to the east and the slope up the
railroad right-of-way are covered with natural
vegetation--primarily small shrubs, grass and a few
deciduous trees. The existing parking lot is
landscaped and buffered from the adjacent truck
operation to the south and from 77th Avenue S . on the
west by coniferous and deciduous trees and small
shrubs. Other portions of the site are graveled,
with a few additional patches of natural vegetation
to the north.
C. Sicrnificant Social Features
1. Street System
The subject property has access to 77th Avenue S.
which is classified as a local arterial. The street
has a public right-of-way width of 60 feet while the
actual width of paving is 24 feet. The street is
improved with lanes of asphalt paving only and dead-
ends to the north at the South Seattle Auto Auction
facility. There are no curbs or gutters, storm water
drains, sidewalks or street lighting along the
13
Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
street. The average daily traffic flow is
approximately 2 , 500 vehicle trips per day.
2 . Water System
An existing 10-inch water main line, located in
77th Avenue S . , is available to serve the subject
property.
3 . Sanitary Sewer System
An existing 72-inch sanitary sewer, located in
77th Avenue S . is available to serve the subject
property.
4 . LID' s
The subject property is presently covered by Utility
Local Improvement District #1. A street improvement
L. I .D. is proposed for 77th Avenue S.
V. CONSULTED DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
The following departments and agencies were advised of this
application:
City Administrator City Attorney
Director of Public Work Chief of Police
Parks & Recreation Director Fire Chief
Building Official City Clerk
In addition to the above, all persons owning property which
lies within 200 feet of the site were notified of the
application and of the public hearing. Staff comments have
been incorporated in the staff report where applicable.
VI. PLANNING DEPARTMENT REVIEW
The Planning Department has reviewed this application in
relation to the Comprehensive and Valley Floor Plans, present
zoning, land use, street system, environmental concerns and
comments from other departments and finds that:
A. The City-wide Comprehensive Plan Map designates the site
as I, Industrial.
14
Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
B. The Valley Floor Comprehensive Plan Map designates the
site as I, Industry.
C. The site is presently zoned M3 , General Industrial.
D. A portion of the site is currently developed with a 3 , 224
square feet building and associated parking. The balance
of the site is a graveled maneuvering area, along with a
prefabricated metal tilt-up building.
E. The property is landscaped in the vicinity of the existing
structure. The drainage ditch to the east and some
portions of the site to the north are naturally vegetated
with deciduous trees, grass and some small shrubs.
F. Land use in the area is industrial. The Burlington
Northern Railroad tracks run along the eastern perimeter
of the subject property.
G. The lot exceeds the minimum lot size as specified in the
development standards for the M-3 , General Industrial,
zoning district. However, the proposed site plan does not
conform to present M-3 zoning requirements for industrial
uses and hazardous substance land use facilities.
Development standards as discussed in this report must be
met prior to issuance of a building or zoning permit
and/or business license.
H. The proposed development would have access to
77th Avenue S .
VII. STANDARDS AND CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING A CONDITIONAL USE
APPLICATION
Standards and criteria for evaluating conditional use
applications are described in the Kent Zoning Code, Chapter
15. 09 . 030 , Conditional Uses , D. Standards and Criteria for
Granting a Conditional Use Permit. This Chapter states that,
"A conditional use permit shall only be granted after the
Hearing Examiner has reviewed the proposed use to determine if
it complies with the standards and criteria listed below. A
conditional use permit shall only be granted if such finding
is made. " The eight criteria are presented below, followed by
the Planning Department' s evaluation of the Emerald City
15
Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
Chemical conditional use application with respept to these
criteria.
1. The proposed use in the proposed location will not be
detrimental to other uses legally existing or permitted
outright in the zoning district.
Planning Department Comment:
The M3 , General Industrial, zone is the most intense zoning
district within the City of Kent. This district is designed
to accommodate "those industrial activities having unusual or
potentially deleterious operational characteristics. "
Surrounding uses are also of an M3 nature. The Crosby and
Overton hazardous waste storage facility is already located on
77th Avenue S . , just to the north of S . 206th Street. The less
intense M2 , Limited Industrial, uses to the east of the
proposed site are located on the other side of the railroad
embankment which is at a higher elevation and provides a
screen. The proposed use will meet federal, state and local
criteria for hazardous substance land use facilities and should
not pose a threat to surrounding uses if properly maintained.
2 . The size of the site is adequate for the proposed use.
Planning Department Comment:
The proposed lot exceeds the minimum lot size required under
the M3 , General Industrial , development standards. The
proposed site does not allow for the 50 foot property line
setback for hazardous substance land use facilities. With some
modification of the site plan, this 50 foot setback could be
provided between the hazardous substance uses and the north,
west and south property lines and a 40 foot setback could be
provided along the east property line which abuts the railroad
right of way
A. Waiver of the one-quarter mile (1, 320 foot) setback from
public recreation areas (specifically, the Interurban
Trail) .
B. Waiver of the 50 foot setback for hazardous substance land
use facilities from any property line. (Under condition
A3 above, the setbacks would become 50 feet to the north,
west and south and 40 feet to the east. )
16
Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
3 . The traffic generated by the proposed use will not unduly
burden the traffic circulation system in the vicinity.
Planning Department Comment:
Traffic mitigation conditions were applied under the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review to reduce adverse
impacts of additional traffic along 77th Avenue S. Although
this road is currently substandard, the developer of the site
will provide road improvements and increase the quality of the
street in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development.
The mitigation measures as proposed will not completely satisfy
concerns over immediate additional congestion at the
intersections of S . 212th Street and the East and West Valley
Highways. These intersections are already at capacity. In
addition, the transfer of hazardous substances over highly-
travelled public roads (including unimproved portions of
77th Avenue S . ) is of concern.
4 . The other performance characteristics of the proposed use
are compatible with those of other uses in the
neighborhood or vicinity.
Planning Department Comment:
Noise, vibration, glare, smoke, and dust are not anticipated
from this site and will not impact surrounding uses.
A hazardous waste storage facility is already located in the
immediate vicinity (on 77th Avenue S. , north of S. 206th
Street) .
5 . Adequate buffering devices such as fencing, landscaping,
or topographic characteristics protect adjacent properties
from adverse effects of the proposed use, including
adverse visual or auditory effects.
Planning Department Comment:
No adverse visual or auditory effects are anticipated from this
development. Landscape buffering will be provided along the
northern, western and southern perimeters of the site. The
eastern boundary of the site is separated from adjoining uses
by the approximately 10 foot high railroad embankment.
17
Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
6. The other uses in the vicinity of the proposed site are
such as to permit the proposed use to function
effectively.
Planning Department Comment:
Other uses in the vicinity are of a heavy industrial nature.
Conflicts which may arise would be as a result of the current
inadequacy of 77th Avenue S. for the large volume of truck and
vehicular traffic it carries.
7 . The proposed use complies with the performance standards,
parking requirements and other applicable provisions of
this code.
Planning Department Comment:
The site plan as proposed does not meet all of the performance
standards and Zoning Code requirements for the hazardous
substance land use facility. With modification, the site plan
can meet the bulk of these requirements.
Exceptions to development standards may be granted during the
Conditional Use application process per Zoning Code Section
15. 09 . 030 (E) . The Code states: "If the proposal also involves
the requirement to obtain exceptions to development standards,
the Hearing Examiner may approve, modify or deny conditional
exceptions to these development standards, including height,
unique structures, signage, and setbacks when considering a
conditional use permit application for that same proposal. "
Two exceptions to hazardous substance land use facility
development standards would be required to permit the proposed
siting of Emerald City Chemical. Those conditional exceptions
would be (1) waiver of the one-quarter mile (1, 320 foot)
setback from public recreation areas, and (2) waiver of the 50
foot setback for hazardous substance land use facilities from
any property line.
As has been discussed earlier, the Emerald City Chemical
hazardous substance land use facility is approximately 1, 000
feet from the Interurban Trail. Support for waiver of the one-
quarter mile setback arises from the intermittent nature of
Trail use and the relative ease of Trail closure.
With site plan modification, the required 50 foot setback from
the property lines could be met along the northern, western and
18
Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical
#CE-89-7
southern borders, with a 40 ' setback to the east. Support for
waiver of the 50 ' setback along the eastern perimeter arises
from the isolation of the 77th Avenue S. area between the
railroad tracks, the approximate 10 foot grade difference
between the railroad to the east and the site, and the narrow
depth of the lot itself (approximately 120 feet) .
The Planning Department staff does not believe a conditional
exception is necessary relative to the Emerald City Chemical
traffic route, as the path through the A-1, Agricultural, zone
is only one of several alternatives.
8 . Any other similar considerations that may be appropriate
to a particular case.
Planninc{ Department Comment:
Although concerns remain over some aspects of this development,
the site appears to meet the majority of criteria for a
hazardous substance land use facility. With application of
proposed mitigating conditions, concerns can be minimized.
Locating this type of facility anywhere in the City would be
a difficult task. This site offers fewer potential adverse
impacts than do many others.
VIII . CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION
A. Upon review of the merits of this request and the Code
criteria for granting a conditional use permit, the City
staff recommends APPROVAL WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. Lot line adjustments to eliminate internal lot lines
shall be required prior to development, unless the
applicant wishes to meet code requirements for each
lot individually.
2 . The applicant shall provide information on the exact
distance to Mill Creek from the proposed site. The
hazardous substance land use facility shall not be
located within 200 feet of Mill Creek.
3 . The applicant shall relocate the hazardous substances
portion of the development to the interior portion
of the site, providing a minimum 50 foot setback from
the property lines to the north, south and west and
a minimum 40 ' setback along the eastern property
19
Staff Report
Emerald City Chemical _.
#CE-89-7
line. Future expansion of the hazardous substance
portion of this development will also be subject to
the 50 foot setback requirement.
4 . Information on hazardous waste generated from this
project shall be provided by the applicant to
guarantee that appropriate handling and disposal
techniques are employed. If hazardous waste is
generated by this proposal, additional regulatory
measures may be required.
5 . No outdoor storage of hazardous substances/wastes
shall be allowed on site.
6. Existing natural vegetation and should be retained
along the eastern property line to provide cover and
biotic habitat in the vicinity of the existing
drainage ditch.
7 . A sidewalk shall be provided along the eastern edge
of the building to serve the man doors along that
perimeter.
8 . The "future" truck loading area (and associated
driveway) shall be paved and provided for immediate
usage.
9 . The one-quarter mile setback requirement from the
Interurban Trail shall be waived to allow development
on this site.
B. As provided for in Section 15. 09. 030 (E) , City staff
recommends the following conditional exceptions be
granted:
1. Waiver of the one-quarter mile (1, 320 foot) setback
from public recreation areas (specifically, the
Interurban Trail) .
2 . Waiver of the 50 foot setback for hazardous substance
land use facilities from any property line (Under
condition A3 above, the setbacks would become 50 feet
to the north, west and south and 40 feet to the
east) .

INTRODUCTION
After due consideration of all the evidence presented at public hearing
on the date indicated above, the following findings, conclusions and
decision are entered by the Hearing Examiner on this application.
FINDINGS
1. The property is zoned CM-1, Commercial Manufacturing. Property
surrounding the site is also zoned CM-1. The City-wide
Comprehensive Plan Map designates the site as I, Industrial .
The Valley Floor Comprehensive Plan Map designates the site as
I , Industry. The Comprehensive Plans contain within them
several policies applicable to this application. These are
1
Findings and Decision

#CE-89-10
detailed in Section I (E) of the Kent Planning Agency Staff
Report dated June 21, 1989 .
2 . The size of the property on which the building is located is
42 , 900 square feet. The size of the leased space for the
proposed use is 2 , 880 square feet.
3 . Section 15. 04. 120 (B) (2) of the Kent Zoning Code requires the
applicant to obtain a conditional use permit if more than 10, 000
pounds of hazardous substances are involved in the proposed use.
More than 10, 000 pounds of hazardous substances will be on site
at any one time during the proposed operation of the metal
plating facility. This is primarily in a liquid state in tanks
of approximately 450 gallons. The hazardous waste that is
generated will be primarily waste water treatment sludge which
is potentially recyclable.
4 . The western and southern perimeter of the structure proposed for
use have a 15 foot and 13 foot setback from the property lines.
The northern and eastern perimeters are setback from adjacent
property lines by more than 50 feet. The western property line
abuts 88th Avenue South. The southern property line abuts an
outdoor storage area which is separated from the subject
property by a fence.
5 . Land use in the area includes a number of multi-tenant
buildings. Occupants include welding shops, metal grinding,
heating contracting, steel distributing, and machine shops.
Commercial uses are located along 228th Street and include an
auto body shop, glass shop, restaurant and tavern.
6. A Declaration of Nonsignificance was issued for the project
proposal on May 12 , 1989 with mitigating conditions related to
street improvements and discharge of industrial waste water.
The conditions related to street improvements were subsequently
waived by the City so that the only condition remaining on the
DNS relates to a waste discharge permit.
7 . Information and findings of the Kent Planning Department
detailed in Sections I through IV of the Kent Planning Agency
Staff Report are incorporated herein by reference as if set
forth in full.
8 . Mr. Hank Neumeier, the owner of the building leased to the
applicant testified in opposition to the DNS conditions on
street improvements. Mr. Greg Allan, an engineer with expertise
in hazardous substance handling, testified that the applicant
2
Findings and Decision

#CE-89-10
intended to comply with all conditions. Mr. •Allan also
testified that it is possible to measure the amount of hazardous
substances on site in different ways depending on what set of
regulations one is referencing to do the measuring. He
testified that there would likely be greater than 500 gallons
of liquid hazardous substances on the site at any one time but
that the amount of hazardous substances delivered to the site
would be minimal - perhaps even less than 220 pounds per month.
Mr. Richard Raymond, president of Electrofinishing Company,
testified that his company was willing to comply with all
conditions recommended by the City. He testified further that
his business was making efforts to reduce the amount of
hazardous substances used. Finally, he testified that it would
not be possible to meet the 50 foot setback requirement as the
building his company intended to use has already been built and
leased.
CONCLUSIONS
1. An applicant for a conditional use permit must demonstrate that
the following criteria will be met by the proposed use in
accordance with Section 15 . 09 . 030 (D) of the Kent Zoning Code:
a. The proposed use in the proposed location will not be
detrimental to other uses legally existing or permitted
outright in the zoning district.
b. The size of the site is adequate for the proposed use.
C. The traffic generated by the proposed use will not unduly
burden the traffic circulation system in the vicinity.
d. The other performance characteristics of the proposed use
are compatible with those of other uses in the neighborhood
or vicinity.
e. Adequate buffering devices such as fencing, landscaping,
or topographic characteristics protect adjacent properties
from adverse effects of the proposed use, including adverse
visual or auditory effects.
f. The other uses in the vicinity of the proposed site are
such as to permit the proposed use to function effectively.
3
Findings and Decision
Electrofinishing
#CE-89-10
g. The proposed use complies with the performance standards,
parking requirements and other applicable provisions of
this code.
h. Any other similar considerations that may be appropriate
to a particular case.
Based on the Findings of Fact detailed above, it appears the
proposed use complies with criteria a, b, c, d, f and h of
Section 15. 09 . 030 (D) .
2 . A hazardous substance facility must, in addition, comply with
the development standards detailed in Section 15. 08 . 050 (D) (9)
of the Kent Zoning Code. Those development standards require,
in part, that:
"Hazardous substance land use facilities shall be located at least:
4. 50 ft. from any property line to serve as an on-site hazardous
substance land use facility buffer zone;..."
The proposed facility does not and cannot meet this requirement
without the grant of an exception. Section 15.08 . 050 (D) (9) ,
which addresses hazardous substances, further provides that:
"In case of conflict between any of these site development
standards and the development standards of specific zoning
districts or other code requirements, the more restrictive
requirement shall apply. "
3 . A hazardous substance land use facility must also comply with
performance standards specified in Section 15. 08. 050 of the Kent
Zoning Code. These performance standards deal with the
operational aspects of land uses. The performance standards
for hazardous substance land use facilities address primarily
the release of a hazardous substance into public or private
sewers, watercourses or the ground. See, 15. 08 . 050 (D) (9) .
However, the performance standards also address where hazardous
substances might be located upon the land. Section 15. 08 . 050
(A) identifies hazardous substances as a potential "dangerous
or objectionable element" subject to the performance standards.
Section 15.08 . 050 (C) specifies how the measurement shall be
made for determining whether a "dangerous or objectionable
element" exists. For elements such as noise, vibration, glare,
smoke, dust and odor the point of measurement is the location
of the use creating the problem. For hazardous substances or
wastes, however, the point of measurement "shall be . . . at the
buffer zone setback line for any hazardous substance land use
4
Findings and Decision
Electrofinishing
#CE-89-10
facility which must be at least 50 feet from any property line" .
Section 15. 08. 050 (A) requires continued compliance with
performance standards.
Thus, the 50 foot setback requirement for a hazardous substance
facility is both a development standard (how a facility might
be constructed) and a performance standard (how a facility might
be operated) . The Code requires that a hazardous substance
land use facility be constructed no closer than 50 feet to any
property line and that no hazardous substances be located closer
than 50 feet to any property line. The proposed facility would
store hazardous substances closer than 50 feet to the western
and southern property lines and, therefore, would not comply
with the performance or development standards without the
granting of an exception.
4 . The authority of the Hearing Examiner to approve exceptions to
code requirements is limited only to exceptions to development
standards at the time a conditional use application is
considered. See, Section 15 . 09 . 030 (E) of Kent Zoning Code.
Furthermore, under Section 15. 09 . 030 (D) , the Hearing Examiner
must find that the proposed conditional use complies with
performance standards. That finding cannot be made on this
application.
The Hearing Examiner has authority to approve or deny exceptions
to development standards under Section 15. 09. 030 (E) of the
Zoning Code. The Hearing Examiner has no similar authority to
approve or deny exceptions to performance standards. The 50
foot setback requirement appears to be both a development
standard and a performance standard that is expressed in
mandatory fashion ("shall" and "must") . The Hearing Examiner
cannot grant an exception to the 50 foot setback requirement.
Even if the Hearing Examiner were to consider the setback
requirement as solely as a development standard, the development
standards applied to a hazardous substance land use facility are
found in a code section which is intended to preempt other code
requirements. In case of conflict, Section 15. 08 . 050 (D) (9)
states the "more restrictive requirement shall apply" . It does
not appear it would be consistent with City Council intent to
grant an exception to a development standard detailed in that
section of the Zoning Code even if the Hearing Examiner has
authority to do so. The request for an exception to the
requirement to locate a hazardous substance facility at least
50 feet away from adjacent property lines should not be granted
5
Findings and Decision
Electrofinishing
#CE-89-10
by the Hearing Examiner without clearer authority from the City
Council •that it is appropriate to do so.
5. If the facility as proposed does operate in the future because
of a change in code requirements for hazardous substance land
use facilities or other developments, the conditions recommended
by the Kent Planning Department related to no outdoor storage
of hazardous substances, landscape maintenance, and parking
should be part of approval. The recommended conditions related
to information on hazardous waste and deliveries of hazardous
substances do not appear to be necessary given the separate code
requirement for a hazardous substance spill contingency plan,
SARA Title III requirements, and the small amount of deliveries
anticipated.
DECISION
The application for a conditional use permit to operate a metal plating
shop with hazardous substances in excess of the 10, 000 pound limit
allowed in a CM-1 zone is DENIED.
The current zoning code requirements for the establishment and
operation of a hazardous substance land use facility are clearly set
forth in Section 15. 08 . 050 of the Kent Zoning Code. Those requirements
include a 50 foot setback from all property lines for a hazardous waste
land use facility. While the Hearing Examiner may have authority to
allow exceptions to other development standards specified in that
section, the Hearing Examiner has no authority to deviate from the 50
foot setback requirement. See, 15. 08 . 050 (D) (9) (last sentence) and
15. 08 . 050 (C) (2) . Thus, the application, which requires an exception
to the setback requirement, must be denied.
The role of the Hearing Examiner is to interpret, review, and implement
land use regulations . Land use policy is developed through the
legislative process of the City Council . That body has set forth
specific requirements for the siting and operation of a hazardous
substance land use facility. Exceptions to the requirement of a 50
foot setback requirement for hazardous substance land use facilities
can only be made after authorization of the Council.
Dated this 30TH day of June, 1989 .

HEARING EXAMINER MINUTES
June 28 , 1989
The public hearing of the Kent Hearing Examiner was called to order
by the presiding officer, Ted Hunter, Hearing Examiner, on
Wednesday, June 28, 1989 at 3 : 00 p.m. in the Kent City Hall,
Council Chambers.
Mr. Hunter requested all those intending to speak at the hearing
and those wishing to receive information concerning the hearing,
to sign in at the sign up sheet by the door. Staff reports and
agendas were available by the door. Mr. Hunter briefly described
the sequence and procedure of the hearing. Each person presenting
testimony was sworn in by Mr. Hunter prior to giving testimony.
ELECTROFINISHING
Conditional Use Permit
#CE-89-10
A request by Electrofinishing, Inc. , 22630 88th Avenue S. , #A,
Kent, WA 98031, for a conditional use permit for the use of an
existing building for a metal plating shop with hazardous
substances on site which exceeds the allowable 10, 000 pound limit
in a CM-1, Commercial Manufacturing, zoning district. The site is
located at 22630 88th Avenue S . The leased space for this tenant
is 2 , 880 square feet.
VERBATIM MINUTES
Theodore Paul Hunter: I ' ll swear you in. Do you swear affirm to
tell the truth, and the whole truth, in the testimony you're about
to give.
Mary Duty: I do.
Hunter: Please proceed.
Duty: O.k. This is an application from Electrofinishing. The
applicant has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a
metal plating shop with hazardous substances on site that exceed
the allowable 10, 000 pound limit in the CM-1, Commercial
Manufacturing, zone. The operation itself would be an outright
permitted use in that zoning district; but, because of an accessory
use they have--the. . .they exceed the allowable 10, 000 pound limit.
Then they come under the conditional use requirements of Section
15. 04 . 120 B2 of the Kent Zoning Code which requires a conditional
use for this type of use involving more than 10, 000 pounds of
1

hazardous substances on site. The use is classified as a hazardous
substance land .use facility.
The subject property is located at 22630 88th Avenue S. , sits here,
east of SR167 . The size of the space the tenant will be using is
a leased space consisting of 2 , 880 square feet. The property that
the existing building is sitting on is 42 , 900 square feet. As I
mentioned the site is zoned CM-I, Commercial Manufacturing, and
essentially all uses around it are zoned the same. Because the
development was built in the 1970 ' s, some aspects of the site do
not meet our current Zoning Code's development standards. The
parking stalls for the site will have to be striped per current
Code requirements to prevent random parking in front of any loading
doors and wheelstops are needed between the parking stalls and the
building. This tenant will need three parking stalls. Here' s a
site plan. The existing building is here and the parking will be
located along the north end of the building. I have a video of the
site if the Hearing Examiner would like to see that at this time.
Hunter: Please, I would.
Duty: (Showed the video: counter 133 to 170) Waste disposal
methods, including dumpsters for nonhazardous waste, are not shown
or described and they need to be addressed; they need to be
screened from abutting properties and the street and they need to
be buffered with landscaping and any hazardous waste that is
generated by this proposal will be disposed of off site at a
Department of Ecology certified facility. The subject property
meets all of the site development standards that are required for
hazardous substance land use facility except that the existing
building is not 50 feet from all of the property lines as required
by the Zoning Code. The setback is met along the northern and
eastern perimeters although the western and southern perimeters of
the structure have 15 and 13 foot setback respectively. The
western perimeters runs along 88th and the southern perimeter abuts
an outdoor storage area which is fenced as you probably saw in the
video. Eighty-eighth Avenue does provide, on the west side, an
additional 60 feet between this property and the adjacent property
to the west. Conditional exception from the 50 foot setback is
required in order to approve this conditional use permit
application. The proposal will comply with Article 80 of the
Uniform Fire Code and they will provide for review and approval by
the Fire Department a hazardous substance spill contingency plan
for immediate implementation in the event of a release of hazardous
substances. The City-wide Comprehensive Plan designates the site
as industrial and also lists a goal which is important to this
particular proposal which is to establish a balanced, safe and
2
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Electrofinishing
#CE-89-10
efficient transportation system for all modes of travel. A goal
being to assure the provision of safe and efficient routes and
terminal facilities for vehicular traffic moving within and through
Kent. Our comment to this is that the proposed development is
dependant on 88th Avenue S. which is currently inadequate roadway,
it has not curbs, gutters or sidewalks and during peak hours this
street is used by residential traffic by East Hill residences as
a by-pass to avoid James Street traffic and because of the
dangerous nature of materials which will be shipped to and from
this site we feel that it is appropriate to not. . .to limit the
deliveries of hazardous materials to and from the site during peak
hours which will be 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. Another relevant
goal of the Comprehensive Plan is to assure Kent residents an
aesthetic and helpful environment. The major concern with this
proposal is that of public safety. As described, this operation
will meet all federal, state and local standards for hazardous
substances storage and handling and we don't anticipate that there
would be any adverse impacts. The Fire Department does have a
program in place that includes filling. . . filing specific
information with the Department prior to starting up business and
regular inspections thereafter. Any hazardous waste that is
generated by the project will be provided by the applicant to the
Fire Department. For storage. . . .not outdoor storage will be
allowed unless it is provided as required by the Zoning Code and
no outdoor storage of hazardous substances or waste will be
permitted. As I mentioned earlier, the area is developed with a
mixture of small light manufacturing and heavier commercial uses
with a number of multi-tenant industrial buildings along 85th Place
S. and S. 228th Street. And, not a lot of new development in the
recent years other. . . .you saw another building going up to the
west. Most of the uses include welding, shops, metal grinding and
stamping, heating contracting, steel distributing and machine
shops. . . all of similar nature of this proposal . A final mitigated
Determination of Nonsignificance was issued on May 12 , 1989 .
Your staff report may not be amended to show the most recent
conditions. The first two were eliminated, leaving only number 3
which is. . .that the applicant shall obtain an industrial waste
discharge permit from METRO and all treated waste water shall be
discharged into the sanitary sewer system.
Hunter: What was eliminated--that the. . . .
Duty: The traffic mitigation.
Hunter: What was the reason for that?
3
Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes
Electrofinishing
#CE-89-10
Duty: This was done because it was felt that because this. . .the
tenant is not in fact the property owner, it was not fair to burden
a tenant of a multi-tenant building with the financial
participation of these without spreading it equally to all other
tenants.
Hunter: So those were initially conditions to the DNS and have
been removed as conditions.
Duty: Right, the Council agreed that it was not their intent to
have tenants participating but rather the property owner who was
developing the whole building and not just one tenant.
The Planning Department reviewed this permit application with
respect to the eight criteria set forth in the Zoning Code for
granting a conditional use permit. I ' ll just comment on two of
them.
One is that the proposed use in the proposed location will not be
detrimental to other uses legally existing or permitted outright
in the zoning district. We felt that because CM, Commercial
Manufacturing, zone is the most intense commercial zoning district
in the City and that surrounding uses are also of the same nature
that this will unduly affect anything in the surrounding area and
that it will meet federal, state and local criteria for hazardous
substance land uses. And secondly, the proposed use complies with
the performance standards, parking requirements and other
provisions of this Code, I felt that this needed clarification.
We mentioned earlier that it did not meet zoning development
standards for parking and landscaping which will be brought up to
code. But. . .that the site development standards for the 50 foot
setback were not met but because of 88th being on the west
providing additional 60 feet and because of the north property line
abutting an outdoor storage facility that we didn't feel that would
be an issue as far as having any adverse impacts by not meeting the
setbacks.
Hunter: Let me understand your testimony. You testified that it
will meet all local , state and federal. . .
Duty: Right.
Hunter: Requirements for siting of the hazardous substances
facility. But then you indicated it does not. . .

Hearing Examiner Verbatim Minutes

#CE-89-10
Duty: All of them except the site development standards as listed
under the Performance Standards for the 50 foot setback from
property lines.
Hunter: O.k. So it meets all with the exception of one.
Duty: Exception of that---right. The other ones will be brought
up to code.
Hunter: O.k. , so, it will meet assuming certain compliance with
certain requirements and assuming certain exceptions are granted.
Duty: Right. The staff recommends that approval for the
application with six conditions listed in the staff report. . .the
first being information on hazardous waste generated from this
project shall be provided by the applicant to the City to guarantee
the appropriate handling and disposal techniques are employed.
Hazard waste generated by this proposal may require additional
regulatory measures . No outside storage of hazardous substances
and waste shall be allowed on site. Existing landscaping shall be
maintained along 88th Avenue S. Required parking for this tenant
shall be restriped to Zoning Code standards and, as provided in
Section 15. 09 . 030 E, City staff recommends that a conditional
exception be granted to the 50 foot setback requirement from the
west and south property lines and finally, that deliveries of
hazardous substances coming to and from the site shall not be
permitted during the peak hours of 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.
Hunter: Let me ask you about those conditions. Condition #1,
information on hazardous waste generated--isn't that typically part
of the spill contingency plan, would that be included in that
report.
Duty: Yes. Lynn Hoffman-Gross from our Fire Department is here
to speak on those issues.
Hunter: O.k. No storage of hazardous substances waste allowed on
site.
Duty: Right.
Hunter: Is that already in the Zoning Code or is this a condition
that would go beyond the Code restriction.
Duty: Well, it would be classified as a on-site hazardous waste
treatment storage facility which is another type of facility. If
it' s stored, various amounts, there are thresholds before it is

considered an on site hazardous waste treatment storage facility.
If it was under certain threshold amounts it could be kept on site.
This is saying there can't be any on site storage.
Hunter: No outdoor on site storage is what you're recommending.
Duty: Right.
Hunter: O.k. Thank you. Anyone else who wishes to speak on this
matter? Kathy? Do you swear to tell the truth in the testimony
you're about to give.
Kathy McClung: I do.
Hunter: Please proceed.
McClung: Just for the record, I wanted to clarify Mary' s testimony
said that the outside storage facility was on the north, it' s on
the south and that is where the setback. . .one of the setback
discrepancies is. . . from the south property line, not the north.
Hunter: O.k. Thank you. Someone here representing the applicant
or the applicant wishes to speak.
Voice: You said about the garbage container. . . it' s already
enclosed on the east of the property.
Hunter: You can present that testimony actually if you want to
step to the podium and offer any clarifications or additional
material you think I should consider now is. . .

Hunter: Please state your name, then.
Neumeier: Heinz Neumeier, I 'm the owner of the building back there
and about the enclosure for the dumpster that's already built back
there at the east end of the building of the property. . .that' s
already done.

Neumeier: That was done when we have built a new building, was
already required.
Hunter: Are those dumpsters for waste. . .
Neumeier: For both buildings. There's a new building back there
and the older one that' s for older buildings, just one dumpster and
that's already enclosed. . .enclosed area.
Hunter: So there are dumpsters that are enclosed to the east of
the building.
Neumeier: Both the property.
Hunter: O.k. Thank you. Sir, could you please spell your last
name?
Neumeier: Neumeier. It' s N-e-u-m-e-i-e-r.
Hunter: Thank you.
Neumeier: I have another question, here. It says here that the
developer shall execute an environmental mitigation agreement to
financially participate and pay a fair share of the cost associated
with construction of S. 224th/228th Street Corridor Project. The
minimum benefit to the above development is estimated at $2 , 152 . . .
Hunter: Sir, I hate to interrupt you, but, I think, it was pointed
out in the City' s testimony that that condition as well as the
other condition regarding traffic improvements have been eliminated
as conditions. They were attached, they were made a part of the
first declaration of nonsignificance. It's the first process.
They were eliminated.
Neumeier: So, does not apply any more now.
Hunter: Does not apply any more. There's only that one condition
that currently applies to the property and that deals with a waste
discharge permit from METRO.
Neumeier: Well, o.k. , all right. . .that's all I wanted to know.
Thank you.
Hunter: Yes sir. Do you swear, affirm to tell the truth and the
whole truth in the testimony that you are about to give.

Greg Allan: I do. The name is Greg Allan. . .A-1-1-a-n. And, I 'm
a professional engineer for the applicant. Area of expertise is
processed facility design, hazardous waste and waste water
treatment systems and a couple of clarifications. The facility
though it exceeds the 10, 000 pound limit, I think it's important
to note that that' s how much on site and the actual deliveries and
use and shipments of waste chemical is actually very small. The
shop is a custom metal finisher, does very small parts. . .limited
quantities and it' s a considerably smaller than three other
facilities that are located within a mile radius so it's more than
compatible with the area. The. . . I personally feel that the
limitations on chemical deliveries aren't necessary but the
applicant has conceded to live up to that. The other one is. . .as
far as shipments. . .getting waste where it's supposed to go. . .I find
this applicant as being in the upper quartile of responsible metal
finishers and as far as proper disposal of materials I don't
believe there would be any problem. The METRO permit. . .well
there's not only the METRO permit but some of the State Department
of Ecology requirements exceed a lot of the conditions that have
been placed in this findings. . .or in this report and as an example
the METRO permit which also submits to the Department of
Ecology. . .that permit application for discharge includes certain
construction methods as far as containment of liquids, segregation
of incompatible chemicals, getting an EPA generators number for
proper documentation of hazardous waste disposal, also requires
contingency plans over and above what's required by the Kent Fire
Department, emergency procedures, spill containment
materials. . .there' s a lot of. . . lot of extra things that are
in. . .going to be required by State and METRO requirements that I
think will more than satisfy the City of Kent. As far as the
outdoor storage clarification there. The Department of Ecology
regulation (WAC 173-303) is the State Program for the
RECA. . .Federal RECA regulations and that requires room to burn
segregated chemical storage, so, again, far exceeds what this. . .the
outdoor. . .there's no outdoor storage. That' s already a requirement
that METRO and the State will except for part of the facility
discharge permit and I believe that' s about it.
Hunter: Can you give me some indication on what type of
chemical. . .what type of hazardous waste might be generated? I
guess we are looking at two things: RECA permits and applications
for hazardous substances but then also some handling of the
hazardous waste. And I 'm interested in just a synopsis of what
type of material , what type of waste. . .

Allan: Sure, you can break it down to three areas. There's the
chemicals deliveries to the site; the chemicals used on the site
and then the waste chemicals shipped out. The chemicals on site
would be various strengths of acids, such as sulfphic hydric-
chloric; maybe very small amounts of nitric caustics such as sodium
hydroxide, various strength. Plating solutions would be copper,
copper sulphates. There' s also some copper cyanide. There' s chrome
plating tanks, chrome sulphates. I believe a listing, you can find
a full listing in the METRO application. Again, there's an
extensive list there. And, it's also required as part of the
contingency plans. That' s how much is on. . .on site and that as it
solutions does exceed. . .you know as. . . . .a water solution does
exceed the 10, 000 pounds. As the 100 percent chemical, it is
probably considerably less than that, so we are including that
10, 000 pound a lot of water that hits this threshold, the
threshold limit. The materials coming in are basically the
concentrate that are used to replenish the baths and in a facility
this size I would doubt that if their chemical deliveries are any
more significant than an industrial janitorial service is an
example which can locate in a lot of different places. . .probably
takes in more chemicals than what this company would do. The
material that is shipped off site is going to be primarily that is
as hazardous waste is water treatment sludges and there may very
rarely be a spent process solution that would go to a licensed
treatment storage and disposal facility. But, by far and away I
would say what 95 plus percent is going to be a solid water
treatment sludges and that will probably qualify as a recyclable
material which then becomes exempt from the hazardous waste
regulations. So, it' s quite likely that it' s not even going to be
considered as a hazardous waste when it probably qualified as a
recycle material thought it will be handled as any other hazardous
chemical or hazardous waste. Any waste that is shipped off site
is considerably less toxic, less hazardous than the raw chemical
that are brought on site and that are used on site.
Hunter: Are you in the process of obtaining that process of
obtaining that exemption for recyclability is that what's going on.
Are you in the process of obtaining that exemption for
recyclability, is that what 's going on.
Allan: No, no permits are required or exemption from the State are
required for that. It is just simply sending the samples to the
company that recycles the sludge and then they have there own
process controls and then when you make your annual report out to
the Department of Ecology you still report it as a generated waste
recyclable and then it doesn't count to the facility poundage
limits that. . .the facility' s hazardous waste poundage limits. It' s
9

#CE-89-10
quite likely this company can become a small quantity. . .can be
considered a small quantity generator and be exempt from the
State' s hazard waste regulations. Though, the companies that I
work with are small quantity generators because of their own
feeling of liability live up to those regulations anyway.
Hunter: What is that 2 , 200 pounds a month?
Allan: Two hundred twenty. . .220 pounds of what's classified as
dangerous waste, DW waste and less than 2 . 2 pounds of what' s
classified as EHW waste. There' s also. . .there's actually three
zones or three• thresholds. . .there's 220 and 2.2 pound and then
there' s a 220 to 2 , 200 pound, which they definitely would fall in
and that has a limited scope of the application.
Hunter: Let me ask you how we got over 1o, 000 pounds. You
mentioned that the water solution was included in that calculation
of 10, 000 pounds at any one time on site. Is there a different way
to measure that? Did you look at alternative ways?
Allan: Yeah, what happens in a lot of these. . .a lot of the federal
and state regulations, there's the threshold limit and then' s there
a reporting limit. Threshold limits are usually determined on the
total solution that' s there. As an example you have say a 100
pounds of water but you take a cup of solid chemical and you put
it in to make your solution, you've got to consider the whole 100
pounds of solution as a threshold to the regulations. Under the
reporting to the. . .a lot of regulations you only report that one
cup, the poundage of 100 percent chemical, you don't report all the
water that' s diluted. . .diluted into. And that's what happened in
this case and it was appropriate. You have to consider the
total. . .the total poundage of water and chemical that's in the
tanks that are used in processing the parts.
Hunter: You've looked at the Kent Zoning Code to determine if this
thing came over that threshold or not.
Allan: No, I did not.
Hunter: Did not, o.k. Well, I 'm wondering if we do. . .there is
what the threshold requirement applies to 10, 000 pounds of
hazardous substances on site. I guess there is a definition of
hazardous substance. Now, the reason that I 'm pursuing this a
little bit because it gets you into a whole different area of
requirements if you are over that threshold. And you mentioned,
your testimony, there may be another way to measure that leaves you
below the 10, 000 pounds threshold.

Allan: Yes, as the 100 percent chemical, it is likely below the
10, 000 pound limit. I have not. . .my scope of work on this project
has been the METRO and Department of Ecology reports and the
facility design. So, so what you' re looking for is if it's under
the 10, 000 pound limit then the condition that conditional use
permit is not required.
Hunter: Well, there's a separate section of the Zoning Code that
applies if it's over 10, 000 pounds and that relates to siting of
a hazardous substance land use facility and that's the section we
are looking at because of the requirement for a 50 foot setback and
I believe that if we are below that threshold. . . I don't mean to
resolve this today. But, I 'm curious and perhaps Mary has a
comment to make from the City. Yes, Mary.
Duty: Hopefully, I can shed some light on this. In order for the
Planning Department to make a determination as to whether or not
this operation would need to go through a conditional use permit
process, we require submittal of information to our Fire Department
listing the chemicals that would be on site and we decided that
since the SARA Title III breaks down the chemicals by, as he
mentioned, just the percentage that is actually hazardous we
decided that to be consistent we would do the same but doing so
they exceed the amount. And, of course, for waste its 100 percent
of the waste and for the substance it' s the percentage of that
substance that is hazardous and they did exceed the 10, 000 pound
limits.
Hunter: And how did you determine that 10, 000 pounds?
Duty: By adding the up. . .they listed the chemical, how much they
had and what percent of that chemical was hazardous and then how
much poundage that was. We went through and did it just like SARA
Title III would have done it and if it was a waste we used the 100
percent as hazardous.
Hunter: O.k. , and this leads to a determination of how much would
be on the site at one time.
Duty: Right. And they were over the 10, 000 pounds.
Hunter: Over the 10, 000 pounds by looking at the types of
chemicals used in a particular month?
Duty: Right. They provided us with their inventory sheets.

Hunter: I see. And inventory would be for annual inventory,
monthly inventory?
Duty: And it has all of that information.
Voice: Average daily amount.
Hunter: Average daily amount, is that your testimony, average
daily amount.
Duty: Yeah, that' s my testimony.
Hunter: O.k. Thank you, Mary.
Allan: Add one more. . .the SARA Title III is a good example of
where the triggering mechanism is based on the total solution but
when you turn in those reports, it's based on the 100 percent
chemical and SARA Title III is extremely confusing regulation so
don't want to go to much further than that.
Hunter: Would there be more than 500 gallons of the liquid
solution on site at one time, do you know?
Allan: I believe there' s a couple of tanks there--over 500
gallons, that' s right.
Hunter: O.k.
Allan: Yeah, there' s any one. . .one tank is no bigger than 450
gallons but there' s a multiple of tanks. Now normally. . .mention
the SARA Title III that's. . . .that' s based on a single type of. . .a
single chemical where it appears like. . . .appears like what is done
in this case is all the chemicals. . .hazardous chemicals have been
added up to see if it exceeds 10, 000 pounds. O.k. , I
understand. . . I believe that' s the way they prefer the City Code to
work is all hazardous chemicals added together whereas under SARA
Title III you consider each one individually meeting that 10, 000
pound limit so don't want to confuse those to.
Hunter: O.k. What about the status of the spill contingency plan,
is that something that' s now being prepared or. . .
Allan: O.k. what happens is in the. . . in the professional
engineering report that I turn in to METRO who is the coordinator
for the State Department of Ecology. . . it's coordinated through
METRO--there is an operation section in that report that includes
minimum contingency requirements and that's also reviewed by the

Department of Ecology. You can't fully fix it until after
construction is complete because you don't know what .your layout
is or where things are and what the emergency equipment is going
to be located such as eyewashes, showers, spill control. . .you can't
really fix it and normally what happens you turn that information
in within 30 days after construction is complete or operation
commence. . .whichever occurs. Now may I add that if. . . if you are
indifferent. . .the State requirements vary depending on how much
hazardous waste is generated but the minimum requirement will
exceed. . .minimum State requirement will exceed the City of
Kent' s. . .what I understand the City of Kent's requirements.
Hunter: O.k. Now, this business operation is currently operating
in another location.
Allan: It' s operating in Auburn. The current zoning. . .the Zoning
Code for that building changed and rather than substantial upgrades
in the building it was more economic plus the customer base for
this company is here in Kent.
Hunter: So I take it some of these issues like the disposition of
the hazardous waste has already been addressed because of current
operation.
Allan: Correct. And they have a very good compliance record which
can be verified through METRO and the State and also the
records. . .records on hazardous waste, chemical deliveries and all
that. As I mentioned, in the 30 or 40 companies that I 've dealt
with in the last five years, I feel they are in the upper quartile
of compliance and methods of operation and such.
Hunter: Thank you very much. Further testimony from applicant.
Yes, sir. Do you swear and affirm to tell the truth and the whole
truth in the testimony you' re about to give.
Richard Raymond: Yes, I do. Richard Raymond, President of the
Company and just wanted to say that the conditions that are here
are no problem to us at all and that in the future our plan for our
business is going to be. . .we are going to expand in work that would
more eliminate more of the hazardous chemicals, you know, we are
going to try and expand it to areas that are less polluting, things
like that. So, less trouble for us and everybody else involved.
Hunter: Good. What is the status. . .do you have now a lease on the
building or is it contingent on your conditional use application?

Raymond: No, we've been paying rent for three months now. . .going
on four months.
Hunter: What' s the access to that, I guess, on the south of the
building. There's an outdoor storage area, is there. . .
Raymond: Yeah, there's one. O.k. , it would be in the back of the
building, the south wall, there' s just one door and it' s more or
less a fire escape door or just the back door. . . it's just one small
door and then there' s a. . . like they said 15 feet away there' s a
fenced off storage area back behind there. We don't plan on even
opening the door in normal day' s work.
Hunter: O.k. The one thing that I 'm struggling with as Hearing
Examiner. . .have you looked at the Kent Zoning Code in terms of the
compliance requirements, you've heard the testimony about the 50
foot setback.
Raymond• Yes.
Hunter: O.k. Is there. . .do you have any ideas about how you might
comply with that is there any possibility of building configuration
or different location on the site. Have you thought about how that
might be complied with or do you see it as an impossibility?
Raymond: Well, there wouldn't be anything we could do, you know,
to get 50 feet away in this location. But, we don't, like I said,
we don't really see it as a problem because it's just the back of
our building and nothing going to be going on back there other than
just that one doorway is there. So, we didn't really see any
problem with it.
Hunter: I have a problem with it and it's because it's in the Code
and it' s real difficult for me to find authority to give exceptions
to that. We had a similar case, the Hearing Examiner heard a few
weeks ago, and we are struggling with how to do that. I want to
give you all opportunity to find a way to comply with the Code,
granting of exceptions is something that should be done rarely and
with clear authority to do so and that' s part of what we' re
struggling with here today. The way I see the situation in front
of us now is that there is a noncompliance with one part of the
Code, you are here to ask for an exception from that and I 'm
suggesting ways and looking for ways that we might find compliance
with the Code. So I wanted to make you aware of that key issue I
think that we have in front of us today. Mary, do you have some
response?

#kCE-89-10
Duty: Yeah, I think it's important to shed some light on the
development standards that were put in the. Code ,under the
Performance Section. I was involved as lead planner for the
zoning. . .hazardous substance ordinance. I worked with the
consultants developing it. When we adopted the siting criteria
that are listed in the Code we based those on the Department of
Ecology siting criteria for hazardous substance land use facility
which have been repealed. We went ahead and adopted them so we
would have some means of regulating new industry coming into the
City that exceeded thresholds for hazardous substance land use
facility rather than not adopting anything and, you know, waiting
for DOE to get new regulations. So, we adopted these realizing
they were, you know, may not match DOE but they were better than
nothing. We also felt, in our minds, that. . .and partly because
Boeing was very vocal about this initially with their missile plant
that they were going to have problems expanding and being able to
meet these standards. It made us look a little harder at them and
realized that putting them under the Performance Standards section
of the Zoning Code was not appropriate and, in fact, they should
not be under Performance Standards. Performance Standards deal
with operational aspects when in fact these are dealing with actual
development standards and siting and not operational aspects. So,
when they added hazardous substances and waste spills and releases
as a potential hazard and that should be a performance standards
the actual siting criteria listed here should not be part of the
performance standards. Performance Standards should be separate
from siting criteria. And so, it has been our intent to relocate
this into a separate section such as multifamily development
standards have their section and these will be relocated rather
than being put as a performance standard. They are new and so this
isn't really. . .the one two weeks ago is really the first test of
these regulations and so it brought it to light once again that
they do need to be moved.
Hunter: O.k. Thank you for your testimony. The way I hear it is
that and the struggle we have with this case is that it is now in
a section of the Code that termed Performance Standards and there
is some limitation on the discretion of the Hearing Examiner has.
Now, what you're indicating is that you intent to propose a change.
Duty: Well, they are listed as site development standards and,
right, they are under the Performance Standards section of the Code
because the hazardous substances and waste performance standards
and they just are listed under it.
Hunter: I understand, thank you. Further testimony? Kathy?

#CE-89-10
McClung: I guess I 'd just like to reinforce what Mary has already
said and that is that we listed these development standards under
the Performance Section of the Code and it was probably a mistake
on our part. However, it more a convenience for convenience sake
and the last application we heard was the first application of this
type. We realized in writing the staff report that if we were to
take everyone of those literally and not ask for a variance we
would not be able to site any of these types of facilities within
the City limits. It would be almost impossible and so, I would ask
you to take that into consideration that if we need to change the
Code in order to give the Hearing Examiner the authority
specifically then we will do that; however, we hope we don't have
to hold up an applicant' s project while we are doing that and it
is certainly our intent that the Hearing Examiner have the
authority to do it. I guess that's all I have to say.
Hunter: O.k. , thank you. Any further testimony. Yes, sir?
Allan: The reference to Performance Standards being taken from the
Department of Ecology regulations. If they are the performance
standards that I now of those were intended to be licensed
treatment storage and disposal facilities were the applicant is a
generator of hazardous waste that sends waste to the TSD
facilities. So, again, the application is. . .the application of
those performance standards sound like they originated from the
incorrect spot and applied incorrectly to this case. The outside
storage. . .storage area is not much more than a lean-to off the side
of the building and it' s intent is for nonhazardous chemicals. The
finished and raw product not the chemicals or the hazardous waste.
Just inside the building wall which is, I believe, 15 feet from the
fence there are separate berms for the process tanks so there' s
like a double containment so outside storage again shouldn't be
confused with what' s being used inside. . .the hazardous chemicals
inside the building. So, its there for clarification.
Hunter: Thanks for the clarification. Any further testimony?
Concerns? Questions? O.k. as you can see these kinds of cases
sometimes point to ambiguities in the Zoning Code. We had some
legislative history presented that may help the Hearing Examiner
determine this issue. It look like we have all the evidence on the
record that we need to have, the decision is now in front of us and
I intend to issue one but it looks like we have all the evidence
on the record that we need to have. The decision is now in front
of us and I intend to issue one within the day. So, you will all
be notified when that decision is available. Thank you very much
for attending and I guess the hearing is adjourned.

KENT PLANNING AGENCY
STAFF REPORT
FOR HEARING EXAMINER MEETING OF JUNE 28, 1989
FILE NO: ELECTROFINISHING #CE-89-10
APPLICANT: Richard Raymond
REQUEST: A conditional use permit for the use of an
existing building for a metal plating shop with
hazardous substances on site which exceeds the
allowable 10, 000 pound limit in a CM-1,
Commercial Manufacturing, zone. This request is
provided for in Section 15. 04 . 120 (B) (2) of the
Kent Zoning Code which regulates hazardous
substance land uses.
STAFF
REPRESENTATIVE: Mary Duty
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION: Approval with conditions
H I. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Description of the Proposal
The applicant has applied for a conditional use permit to
operate a metal plating shop with hazardous substances on
site that exceed the allowable 10, 000 pound limit in the
CM-1, Commercial Manufacturing, zone. The proposal would
utilize 2 , 880 square feet within an existing multi-tenant
building.
Section 15. 04 . 120 (B) (2) of the Kent Zoning Code requires
a conditional use permit for this type of use, which
involves more than 10, 000 pounds of hazardous substances
on site. The proposed use is classified as a hazardous
substance land use facility.
B. Location
The subject property is located at 22630 88th Avenue S .
1
Staff Report
Electrofinishing
#CE-89-10
C. Size of Property
The size of the leased space for this tenant is 2,880
square feet. The size of the property on which the
building is located is 42 ,900 square feet.
D. Zoning
The property is zoned CM-11 Commercial Manufacturing.
Surrounding property to the north, south, east and west is
also zoned CM-1, Commercial Manufacturing.
The applicant' s proposed business site is located within
an existing development built in the 19701s. Although the
development may have been built to the standards of that
time, it does not meet current development standards.
Designated parking stalls need to be restriped to current
Zoning Code requirements in order to prevent random parking
from interfering with truck maneuvering in front of the
loading areas. Wheelstops will also be required between
the end of the parking stalls and the building. This
potential tenant is required to provide three parking
stalls.
Landscaping was installed as part of the initial
development but is in need of maintenance, especially
adjacent to 88th Avenue S .
Waste disposal methods (including dumpsters for
nonhazardous waste) are not shown or described. Dumpsters
must be screened from view from surrounding properties and
the street, and must be surrounded by landscaping.
Hazardous waste generated by this proposal will be disposed
of off site at a Department of Ecology certified facility.
Section 15. 08 . 050 3 (D) (9) (b) of the Kent Zoning Code lists
the following criteria for siting hazardous substance land
use facilities:
1. 200 feet from unstable soils or slopes which are delineated on the "Hazard Area
Development Limitations" map or as may be more precisely determined per Section
15.08.224.B;
2. 200 feet from the ordinary high water mark of major or minor streams or lakes which are
delineated on the "Hazard Area Development Limitation" map or as may be more precisely
determined per Section 15.08.224.8, shorelines of state-wide significance, or shorelines
of the state;
2
Staff Report
Electrofinishing
#CE-89-10
3. 1/4 mile from public parks, public recreation areas or natural preserves, or state or
federal wildlife refuges;
4. 50 feet from any property line to serve as an on-site hazardous substance land use
facility buffer zone;
5. 500 feet and 100 feet from a residential zone and a residential unit respectively; and
6. 500 feet from a public gathering place or agricultural land/zone, in the case of a non-
agricultural hazardous substance land use facility;
The subject property meets all of these criteria except
that the existing building is not 50 feet from all property
lines. Although this setback is met along the northern and
eastern perimeters, the western and southern perimeter of
the structure have a 15 foot and 13 foot setback
respectively, from the property lines. The western
perimeter of the site runs along 88th Avenue S. which
provides an additional 60 foot setback to properties to the
west. All of the mandoors and loading doors open to the
north of the building so that comingling with uses to the
south is unlikely. A conditional exception from the 50
foot setback will be required in order to approve this
conditional use permit application.
At the time of the State Environmental Policy Act
environmental checklist submission, the traffic routes
proposed for vehicles using the site involved S. 226th
Street, East Valley Highway (84th Avenue S. ) , 88th Avenue
S . and SR167 (the Valley Freeway) . Hazardous substance
land use facility traffic routes should not travel through
residential zones. Residential areas exist to the north
and east of the site; however, traffic from this facility
would not likely travel on these routes.
The subject property is also outside the 100 year flood
plain areas which is also a condition of siting a hazardous
substance land use facility.
The proposal shall comply with Article 80 of the Uniform
Fire Code and shall provide for review and approval by the
Kent Fire Department a hazardous substance spill
contingency plan for immediate implementation n the event
of a release of hazardous substances.
E. Comprehensive Plan
The City of Kent first adopted a City-wide Comprehensive
Land Use Plan in 1969 . The goals, objectives and policies
of the Comprehensive Plan represent an expression of
community intentions and aspirations concerning the future
3
Staff Report
Electrofinishing
#CE-89-10
of Kent and the area within the Sphere of Interest. The
Comprehensive Plan is used by the Mayor, city-Council, City
Administrator, Planning Commission, Hearing Examiner and
City departments to guide growth, development, and spending
decisions. Residents, land developers, business
representatives and others may refer to the plan as a
statement of the City' s intentions concerning future
development.
The City of Kent has also adopted a number of subarea plans
that address specific concerns of certain areas of the
City. Like the City-wide Plan, the subarea plans serve as
policy guides for future land use in the City of Kent.
This area is served by the Valley Floor subarea plan.
The following is a review of these plans as they relate to
the subject property.
CITY-WIDE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The City-wide Comprehensive Plan Map designates the site
as I, Industrial .
CIRCULATION ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ESTABLISH A BALANCED, SAFE AND EFFICIENT
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR ALL MODES OF TRAVEL.
GOAL 1: Assure the provision of safe and efficient routes
and terminal facilities for vehicular traffic moving within
and through Kent.
Objective l: Provide adequate trafficways for both
local and through traffic, separating
the system when possible.
Objective 2 : Insure adequate facilities for both
truck and vehicular traffic.
Planning Department Comment
The proposed development is dependent on 88th Avenue S. a
currently inadequate roadway for access. This road lacks
curbs, sidewalks and lane striping. During peak hours this
street is used by residential traffic on the East Hill as
a by-pass route. Because of the dangerous nature of the
materials which will be shipped to and from the proposed
4
Staff Report
Electrofinishing
#CE-89-10
project, the inadequacy of 88th Avenue S. is of concern.
The risk of a potential problem occurring would be reduced
by limiting deliveries of hazardous materials to and from
the site during peak hours (7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. ) .
HUMAN ENVIRONMENT ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ASSURE KENT RESIDENTS AN AESTHETIC AND
HEALTHFUL ENVIRONMENT.
GOAL 2 : Assure Kent residents a healthful environment.
Objective 1: Support and enforce programs which
minimize or eliminate pollution of the
environment.
Planning Department Comment
As a hazardous substance land use facility,
Electrofinishing' s operation is of concern from the
standpoint of public safety. As the operation is described
as meeting federal, state and local standards for hazardous
substance storage and handling, no adverse impacts are
anticipated. Careful monitoring of this site to ensure
that safety measures are enforced should protect Kent
citizen into the future. The Kent Fire Department has a
program in place that includes filing specific information
with the Department prior to starting business and regular
inspections thereafter.
Information on any hazardous waste generated from this
project will be provided by the applicant to the Fire
Department to help ensure that appropriate handling and
disposal techniques are employed. Hazardous waste is
generated by this proposal, and, thus, is subject to
additional regulatory measures as may be required.
No outdoor storage will be allowed on the Electrofinishing
site unless fencing is provided as required by the Zoning
Code, and no outdoor storage of hazardous substances/wastes
will be permitted. Yards and open areas will be required
to be maintained as described in the Zoning Code.
VALLEY FLOOR PLAN

CIRCULATION ELEMENT
OVERALL GOAL: ESTABLISH A BALANCED, SAFE AND EFFICIENT
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR ALL MODES OF TRAVEL.
GOAL 2 : Insure safe and efficient terminal facilities for
both truck and other vehicular traffic.
Objective 1: Provide safe egress and ingress and
adequate on - site traffic
maneuverability.
Planning Department Comment
This objective supports the policy which works to provide
adequate truck loading and unloading zones. The proposed
development has a single roll-up door targeted for loading
and unloading of materials.
Adequate provision of a loading area for a storage use is
critical to avoid conflicts between vehicular and truck
traffic and to prevent truck maneuvering on the public
street.
II. HISTORY
A. Site History
The subject property was annexed to the City in 1958 as
part of a 66-acre annexation (Ordinance #967) . Initial
zoning on the site was M1, Light Industrial . The property
was rezoned to CM, Commercial Manufacturing, with the
adoption of the current Zoning Code in 1973 . The site was
improved with the existing multi-tenant building in 1976.
B. Area History

IV. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
A. Environmental Assessment
A final mitigated Declaration of Nonsignificance was issued
for Electrofinishing on May 12 , 1989 (#ENV-89-31) with the
following mitigation measures:
1. The developer shall conduct a traffic study to
identify all traffic impacts upon the City of Kent
road network and traffic signal system. The study
shall identify all intersections at level-of-service
"E" or "F" due to increased traffic volumes from the
development.
The study shall then identify what improvements are
necessary to mitigate the development impacts thereon.
Upon agreement by the City with the findings of the
study and the mitigation measures outlined in the
study, implementation and/or construction of said
mitigation measures shall be the conditional
requirement of the issuance of the respective
development permits.
In lieu of conducting the above traffic study,
constructing and/or implementing the respective
mitigation measures hereby, the developer may agree
to the following conditions to mitigate the traffic
impacts resulting from the proposed addition.
A. The developer shall execute an environmental
mitigation agreement to financially participate
and pay a fair share of the costs associated with
the construction of the South 224th/228th Street

corridor project. The minimum benefit to the
above development is estimated at $2, 152 based
on 2 PM peak hour trips entering and leaving the
site and the capacity of the South 224th/228th
Street corridor.
The execution of this agreement will serve to
mitigate traffic impacts to the above mentioned
intersection and road system by committing
funding for the South 224th/228th Street
corridors, which will provide additional capacity
for traffic volumes within the area of the above
mentioned development.
2 . The developer shall agree to participate in the
installation of a traffic signal interconnect at the
intersection of South 224th Street and 84th Avenue
South, extending south to include the intersections
of the SR-167 northbound off ramp at 84th Avenue South,
and South 228th Street and Central Avenue. Traffic
signal controllers and controller cabinet conversions
are also required at the SR-167 on/off ramps and South
228th Street and Central Avenue.
The minimum assessment to this development is
estimated to be $150 based upon 2 PM peak hour trips
entering and leaving the site.
3 . The applicant shall obtain a industrial waste
discharge permit from Metro. All treated waste water
shall be discharged into the sanitary sewer system.

VI. PLANNING DEPARTMENT REVIEW
The Planning Department has reviewed this application in
relation to the Comprehensive Plan, present zoning, land use,
street system, flood control problems and comments from other
departments and finds that:
A. The City-wide Comprehensive Plan Map designates the site
as I, Industrial.
B. The Valley Floor Comprehensive Plan Map designates the site
as I, Industry.
C. The site is presently zoned CM-1, Commercial Manufacturing.
D. The site is currently developed with a multi-tenant
building and associated parking.
E. The property is landscaped in the vicinity of the existing
structure.
F. Land use in the area is heavy commercial/light industrial .
VII . STANDARDS AND CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
APPLICATION.
Standards and criteria for evaluating conditional use
application are described in the Kent Zoning Code, Chapter
15. 09 . 030 Conditional Uses D. Standards and Criteria for
Granting A Conditional Use Permit. This Chapter states that,
"A conditional use permit shall only be granted after the
Hearing Examiner has reviewed and proposed use to determine if
it complies with the standards and criteria listed below. A
conditional use permit shall only be granted if such finding is
made. " The eight criteria are presented below, followed by the
Planning Department' s evaluation of the conditional use permit
application with respect to these criteria.
1. The proposed use in the proposed location will not be
detrimental to other uses legally existing or permitted
outright in the zoning district.
10
Staff Report
Electrofinishing
#CE-89-10
Planning Department Finding
The CM-1, Commercial Manufacturing, zone is the most intense
commercial zoning district within the City of Kent. Surrounding
uses are also of a CM-1 nature. The proposed use will meet
federal, state and local criteria for hazardous substance land
use facilities and should not pose a threat to surrounding uses
if properly maintained.
2 . The size of the site is adequate for the proposed use.
Planning Department Finding
The proposed lot exceeds the minimum lot size required under
the CM-1, Commercial Manufacturing, development standards.
The leased space proposed for this project was originally
occupied by a machine shop. The proposed site does not allow
for the 50 foot property line setback for hazardous substance
land use facilities from the west and south property lines.
For the reasons stated earlier in this report, it is the staff
recommendation to approve this application with a conditional
exception to this requirement. The Hearing Examiner has this
authority under Section 15 . 09 . 030 E of the Kent Zoning Code.
3 . The traffic generated by the proposed use will not unduly
burden the traffic circulation system in the vicinity.
Planning Department Finding
The traffic generated by this proposal will be minimal. There
is a concern because of the types of materials being transported
to the site mixing with the residential traffic using 88th
Avenue S . as a bypass. Limiting the deliveries of hazardous
materials to and from the site during peak hours will help
reduce risk of a potentially dangerous situation occurring.
4 . The other performance characteristics of the proposed use
are compatible with those of other uses in the neighborhood
or vicinity.
Planning Department Finding
Noise, vibration, glare, smoke and dust are not anticipated from
this site and will not impact surrounding uses.
11
Staff Report
Electrofinishing
4CE-89-10
5. Adequate buffering devices such as fencing, landscaping,
or topographic characteristics'protect adjacent properties
from adverse effects of the proposed use, including adverse
visual or auditory effects.
Planning Department Finding
No adverse visual or auditory effects are anticipated from this
development. Landscape buffering is provided along the western
perimeter of the site, but must be maintained in order to be
effective.
6 . The other uses in the vicinity of the proposed site are
such as to permit the proposed use to function effectively.
Planning Department Finding
Other uses in the vicinity are of a heavy commercial nature.
This proposal should not be impacted by other developments in
the area.
7 . The proposed use complies with the performance standards,
parking requirements and other applicable provisions of
this Code.
Planning Department Finding
The site does not meet all of the performance standards and
Zoning Code requirements for the hazardous substance land use
facility. As stated earlier in this report, the landscaping
must be maintained, parking restriped and a conditional
exception from setbacks would be required in order to bring
about Code compliance.
8 . Any other similar considerations that may be appropriate
to a particular case.
Planning Department Finding
None.
IX. CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Upon review of the merits of this request, and the code criteria
for granting a conditional use permit, the City staff recommends
APPROVAL with the following conditions:
12
Staff Report
Electrofinishing
#CE-89-10

require additional regulatory measures.
2 . No outdoor storage of hazardous substances/wastes shall be
allowed on site.
3 . Existing landscaping shall be maintained along
88th Avenue S.
4 . Required parking for this tenant shall be restriped to
Zoning Code standards.
5. As provided for in Section 15. 09 . 030 (E) , City staff
recommends that a conditional exception be granted to the
50 foot setback requirement from the west and south
property lines.
6 . Deliveries of hazardous substances coming to and from the
site shall not be permitted during peak hours (7 to 9 a.m.
and 4 to 6 p.m. ) .

Council directed the Public Works Committee to
review a schedule for construction for this project
and to report back to Council on July 5.
At the Public Works Committee meeting of June 27, it
was reported that the required studies associated
with conversion in the lagoon and design of the
buffer to provide mitigation for 64th would be
completed by nine January 1990. Once these studies
are completed, the City could proceed with formation
of the second LID. Construction of the buffer would
be scheduled for the summer of 1990. The City would
would attempt to construct the road improvements at
the same time.
WHITE MOVED to accept the tentative schedule as

transportation plan to: (1) provide for aerial
video taping of peak hour traffic operation and (2)
consultant review of the operational and design
practices associated with the signal system and
computer, as approved by the Public Works Committee.
Upon White' s question, Wickstrom reported that
$3 , 000 would be spent for the taping, with the
remainder to be spent on consultant services to
study the time sequence phasing on key
intersections. He noted that studies have indicated
that a duration shorter than the present 120 seconds
would increase the capacity of the intersection.
Wickstrom indicated that the City does not have
staff time or manpower to study this program to see
whether it would work on the present system. He
indicated for White that the time phasing on the
signal system is interconnected with the
computerized system, which is predicated on volume.
Marty Nizlek, Traffic Engineer, noted that traffic
on East Hill has increased dramatically and that
phasing the cycle lengths is one of the components
of the study. Nizlek indicated that the consultant
would be asked to look at the computer hardware,
it's adequacy and how it is being maintained, the

REMOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER DOWELL
Printing Graphics Ecruivment for Central Services.
AUTHORIZATION to use $46,005 of Central Services
fund balance of $107, 479 to acquire a new press and
graphics workstation. These pieces of equipment
will save City expenditures in the long run by
making printing and graphics operations more
efficient. It would allow the City to do some
printing that is now done outside and will allow
each graphic artist her own machine, eliminating
unproductive time.
Dowell noted that the Operations Committee had
approved the expenditure of funds for this
equipment, and that he alone had voted against it
since it could be done competitively by private
industry. HE MOVED to disallow the appropriation of
funds, and the motion died for lack of a second.
City Administrator Chow noted for White that by
owning their own printing press, the City could
provide printing services at a more competitive
rate. Finance Director McCarthy stated that it is
more efficient to print smaller items in house then
to send them out, but that larger items such as the
25, 000 copies of Cityline would probably always be
sent out. He noted that the press needs to be
upgraded just to handle the smaller items done in
house. McCarthy clarified for Dowell that the press
requested tonight is in addition to the press
already being used, and indicated that the volume of
printing requests has increased greatly. Dowell
inquired whether there would be a request for part-
time employees, and McCarthy stated that hopefully
with use of two presses there would be no need for
additional staff, since both presses could be used
at the same time, making the staff more efficient.
McCarthy noted for White that total printing costs
for the City were $253 , 000, 55% of which was done
outside. HOUSER MOVED for authorization to use
$46, 005 of Central Services fund balance of $107 , 479
to acquire a new press and graphics workstation.
Johnson seconded and stated
7
July 5, 1989
FINANCE that doing the printing in house prevents timing
conflicts with outside printers and saves pick up
and delivery time. Dowell pointed out that the City
already has a press, and that to vote for this is to
vote to take away business and employment from the
private sector. The motion then carried with Dowell
opposing.

LID 327 Bond Ordinance and Purchase Contract. The
City Attorney advised that this item, adoption of

$2 , 296, 074 .47 for LID 327 bonds as recommended by
the Operations Committee at their June 30 meeting,
should be held over to the Council meeting of July

Driscoll also explained that a separate ordinance
proposed by Councilmember Houser would amend the
final assessment roll for LID 327 . This amending
ordinance would correct an error which states that
payments may be paid in (ten) 10 equal installments,
but which should say (20) twenty installments.
HOUSER MOVED to hold the bond ordinance and purchase
contract over to the Council meeting of July 18 and
to adopt Ordinance 2853 amending the final

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 5, 1989
TO: Mayer Kelleher and Council Members
e
FROM: Mi ebby, Personnel Director
SUBJECT: Self-Insured Workers' Compensation
Claims Administration
The purpose of this memorandum is to discuss the renewal of
our workers' compensation claims administration service agreement.
We have managed our self-funded program since July 1979, and Scott
Wetzel Services, Inc. has provided claim services during that
period. We wish to continue our relationship with Scott Wetzel
Services at this time and recommend the Mayor be authorized to sign
the renewal agreement for 1989 .
The renewal recommendation is scheduled for review by the
Council Operations Committee at its meeting of July 13 , 1989 . The
cost of claim services will be approximately $10,750. Funding for
- services is contained within the 1989 budget. You will note in the
letter I have attached that we have had another very successful
year. I believe our department managers and staff should be
congratulated for that success. We have saved about $875, 000 since
we moved to self-insurance.
If for any reason the Operations Committee wishes to delay
action on this item, I will request it be pulled from the Consent
Calendar. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this
request, please contact me prior to Tuesday evening's Council
meeting.

Dear Mike: '
Thank you for taking the time to make a good review of your self-
insured workers ' compensation program which Scott Wetzel Services,
Inc . has had the privilege to administer for the past 10 years.
Clearly, your program has demonstrated the consistent success
that epitomizes the principles of providing the best services
for your injured employees in the most cost effective manner .
As a recap of the numbers we discussed, I would first stress the
consistent improvement in your claim numbers . Actual claim count
for the current year is projected to be 63 claims , down from 68
in 1988 .
More impressive is the ratio of medical only claims to indemnity.
The yardstick SWS uses to evaluate a balanced program looks for
75% to 25% medical only to indemnity claims . In 1988 your ratio
was 74% to 26% . Most acceptable . However, in 1989 you reduced
that ratio to 93% medical only to 7% indemnity. The severe ac-
cidents have declined. This is certainly to your diligent ef-
forts at focusing on a safe and healthy work environment .
The financial returns to your program are equally significant.
Your current year ' s losses equal 16 . 44% of the state fund premium.
Over the life time of your program the losses experienced by the
City of Kent have equalled 36 . 33% of state fund premium. Also
to be considered would be the cash flow advantages of self-in-
surance and the investment earnings of those dollars. Where
there are administrative costs to add to any program, the fin-
ancial gains are sizable .
One additional savings , which no other service company can docu-
ment, is the automated medical payments system which guarantees
to you the minimum allowable fee is being paid to medical providers.

As demonstrated in the printout enclosed, during a 12 month period
SWS was able to reduce the medical bills submitted for your in-
jured workers by 18 . 33% . An actual savings of $6 ,636 . 97 . Should
you ever desire a detailed printout of this report, one can be
provided.
Mike , I would like to believe the expertise and diligent pro-
fessionalism of Scott Wetzel Services, Inc . has contributed to
the success of your program for Kent. We are proud to work to
support your efforts. After reviewing the Agreements enclosed,
please return one signed copy to my attention at the Bremerton

the parties relative to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and
all such former agreements which are hereby declared terminated and of no
further force and effect upon the execution and delivery hereof. There
are no terms, conditions, or agreements with respect thereto, except as
herein provided and no amendment or modification of this Agreement shall
be effective unless reduced to writing and executed by the parties. All
terms, conditions, definitions as set forth in the Agreement will be

through surveys and follow-up contacts .
- Assembling "Local Business Retention Teams" of re-
source people representing business, labor, educa-
tion and government to suggest and then assist re-
medial actions .
Offer "technical assistance" to companies at risk
including for example: financing, labor training/
recruiting, new markets (through Marketplace) , per-
mitting assistance, calculating business costs,
joint venture or acquisition searches .
3
EDC public sector members that are aware of at risk companies -1
their community are encouraged to refer them to the EDC as well a
participate in preparing remedial actions by being members of th
Local Business Retention Teams .
Business Recruitment
The EDC has a dual role in marketing responsibility: (1
providing local liaison for the Washington State Department o
Trade and Economic Development and the Economic Development Part
nership For Washington in our state' s external marketing ac
tivities; and (2) acting as a marketing resource center for th(
local economic development efforts of the EDC' s constituent cit
ies, chambers of commerce and other community groups . In this ca
pacity it will provide Seattle-King County' s leadership in th.
state' s Team Washington activities and act as the leader and re
source center for Team Seattle-King County. This involves th(
following specific services :
a . External Market Support--The EDC will assist pros-
pects from outside King County who are interested
in locating in cities, the Port of Seattle and com-
munities within King County and ask for help with
their evaluation process . The EDC will coordinate
with the Washington State Department of Trade and
Economic Development and the Economic Development
Partnership For Washington both of which will be
responsible for external marketing, including ad-
vertising, promotion and orchestration of traveling
marketing missions . It will also closely coordi-
nate with the communities when a prospect becomes
area specific .
b . Promotion--A high quality marketing brochure con-
taining pertinent information on the area and pre-
senting Seattle-King County and its communities as
a good place to do business will be distributed to
potential investors . The brochure will accommodate
special location-specific marketing materials of
the EDC' s constituent cities, chambers, port, King
County and other appropriate private and public
sector entities .

planning is assembled and maintained on sub-
jects such as taxes, labor, energy, transportation,
utilities, permit requirements, incentives, real
estate sites and facilities . The data base is

4
Referrals by chambers, utilities, cities, Port of Seattle
King County and Metro of businesses located within their jurisdic
tions or located beyond King County but looking to expand here o
being served by these or other public and private sector entitie
are welcomed and will be given full and prompt assistance.
King County Marketplace
In 1988, the EDC, at the direction of its Board, adopted Mar
ketplace as a new high priority initiative to be conducted withil
its Business Assistance program. Now operational since September
`88, it is designed to stimulate new production and service capac
ity in King County by encouraging area businesses to produce an(
supply those goods and services now being obtained outside th,
state of Washington. In meeting this purpose, EDC' s King Count,
Marketplace program assists business and local units of governmen'
to find in-county suppliers to provide competitive products an(
services . The program objective is to retain more dollars in ex-
panding their market potential . Benefits to "purchasers" include
savings on freight charges, faster delivery, improved service an(
no charge for use of EDC' s Marketplace service. Benefits to sup
pliers include : Identity of new customers, and development of ne�
long-term business relationships .
Marketplace works by initially conferring with business o
local government units having purchasing requirements with the in-
tent to identify those products or services now being procured out
of state and where a local source may be desired. Thereafter Mar-
ketplace conducts a confidential search for King County based sup
pliers able to meet the specifications of the purchaser. Submit-
ted bids are then turned over to the purchaser for review
Purchasers' are not obligated to use suppliers identified througl
a Marketplace search, but the object of the search is to find sup-
pliers able to meet all price, quality and delivery criteria
Suppliers are charged a fee equal to 50 of first year' s contract:
(gross purchase price) with any purchases matched throug;
Marketplace. Eligible purchases are those valued at over $5, 001
and originating out of state .
EDC' s Marketplace also associates with a statewide prograi
under the Washington State Department of Trade. The state assist:
local county EDC' s to set up their programs by providing training
They also encourage the EDC' s to refer marketplace product
searches to other counties when it cannot be secured in their owi
local area .
EDC' s public sector members are encouraged to use EDC' s Mar-
ketplace program for their own purchasing needs .
5
2 . Community Development Services _..
During 1989, the EDC in cooperation with other area sponsors
and suburban cities, developed a program for helping communities
with their own economic development priorities . The program,
through the EDC and the participating sponsors, makes available
"outside" economic development experts that can help cities and
communities within King County to plan and initiate economic de-
velopment strategies . The intent of this process includes :
-Helping the community assess its assets, liabilities
and opportunities .
-Making available the ideas and suggestions of economic
development professionals .
-Suggesting ways that the community can organize itself
to then carry out development strategies, and
-Identifying and assisting in making available the re-
sources of local, state, federal and private entities
on a continuing basis as the community undertakes
development programs .
Community development summits were conducted in four cities
during 1988 . Typically they are a one day event . The EDC bring
economic development experts to the community to meet with local.-
representatives . Together they assess the community' s situation
and make recommendations on how the community can organize and
initiate strategies . This provides an opportunity for the people
in the community to become acquainted with the expertise and re-
sources of these economic development professionals . With com-
munity input, the EDC and the participating sponsors then prepare
the forum plan and agenda. To date these forums have typically
included a video identifying issues and choices before communities
as they plan their future, a bus tour of the area to gain perspec-
tive and break-out sessions in which work groups examine area
strengths, weaknesses and opportunities . Citizen input from a
cross section of community interests is essential to establishing
an open dialogue on the "possibilities" for the communities' fu-
ture and ways to achieve those alternatives . Economic experts
brought to the forum are present to help stimulate ideas and sug-
gest strategies . Following the forum, the EDC and other resource
professionals remain available to advise the community as it be-
gins to organize and plan for its future.
This program will be available in 1989 to interested communi-
ties and cities in King County that seek to examine their economic
potential and the options available to them.
6
N 3 . Economic Policy and Analytical Services
Standing Committees of the Board
The standing committee system represents centers of action
for developing specific strategies and priorities as well as for
identifying and committing both financial and human resources to
carry them out . Each of the four committees set up for 1989 are
typically composed of six to ten board members . Their major func-
tions include the following:
A. Administration and Membership
-Fund-raising/Membership: Major priority is adequate
funding
-Budget/financial planning and oversight
-Public sector funding relationships
B. Business Development
-Business development program direction/guidance
-Participation in major investment projects/events
-Community education on business development issues
-Build coalition relationships among economic develop-
ment community
C. Education and Employment
-Matching employment/training needs of local businesses
for community colleges and training institutions
-Recognize excellence in education related to economic
development
-Strengthen partnership between business and education.
D. Public Policy and Facilities
-Financing public costs of development
-Monitor King County permit processes
-Legislative action: education, taxes and transporta-
tion
-Act on organizing strategies to deal with land use/
wetlands issues
4 . Investment in Education
A. The Seattle Youth Investment.
The Seattle-King County economy is increasingly
dependent upon a highly educated and skilled work force .
Businesses require employees who have solid basic
skills, are capable of learning new ones and adaptable
to emerging technologies . Against this need we find
that many of our youth are leaving school without the
7
skills, attitudes and education needed to fill
these jobs . We also lack basic information on the
numbers of students leaving school, why they leave and
where they go, making it difficult to put together a
unified strategy to solve the problem.
The Seattle Youth Investment is a process to find the
real reasons behind why students are leaving the
educational system unprepared, develop a plan to
resolve these problems and focus efforts within the
community to do so. When fully implemented, the Seattle
Youth Investment will be a signed agreement between the
schools, government, Private Industry Council and
business leaders to target activities to ensure that our
community' s youth are employable .
The first step will be to develop a framework to
catalogue, assess and evaluate the many public, private
and nonprofit programs focused on school age youth in
Seattle and King County .
Next, information will be established on the numbers of
students leaving high school before graduating, where
they go after they leave and the reasons behind why they
drop out .
At the same time, Seattle school district data will be
reviewed to establish a measurement of current student
performance. Additionally, the performance of Seattle
high school graduates will be analyzed.
An action plan will be developed that focuses public and
private resources on the problems highlighted by the
studies . Existing programs serving youth will be linked
together as components of a comprehensive series . Where
gaps exist, programs will be developed to fill them.
Results will be measured against the baseline data
previously established.
B. Twenty First Century Awards .
The Twenty First Century Awards are designed to both
recognize innovation in K-12 education and to underscore
to the public how quality education and economic
development are inexorably linked. Winning programs are
documented on video to allow others in the community to
benefit from them. The awards and the video will be
presented at the 17th Annual Economic Forecast Luncheon,
Washington's largest one day economic development event
on January 5, 1989 .
Last year' s Twenty First Century Awards video became an
instant hit and was viewed by hundreds of educators,
elected officials, students, and business and labor
leaders throughout Washington State . The teachers,
8
students, and programs that were recognized by the
Twenty First Century Awards have since been the subject
of numerous feature stories in both print and broadcast
media.
5 . Land Use : Wetlands Working Group
Between 1987 and 1988, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers began
to exercise its jurisdiction over an increasing proportion of in-
dustrial lands in King County that could be designated as
Wetlands . The consequences of a more stringent interpretation of
wetlands by the Corps would have the effect of further and sig-
nificantly reducing the number of acres zoned for industrial de-
velopment . An ultimate outcome would be to restrict economic and
job creating growth, particularly in communities within the Green
River Valley.
The economic impacts are significant . For example, a private
property owner in the Green River Valley controls 700 acres of
land zoned for commercial and/or industrial use with a fair market
value of $2 . 50 per square foot . Should 50 percent fall under the
Corps wetlands criteria, the loss to the private property owner is
estimated at $38 million. If one assumes an after development
value of $50 . 00 p . s . f. , taxed at $14 . 00 per thousand of assessed
valuation, local jurisdictions stand to lose $10 .7 million in
gross revenues annually.
In early 1988, EDC set about to address this issue and to
suggest alternative solutions whereby local developers, jurisdic-
tions and the Corps may consider participating in approaches with
less economic consequences and that still preserve wetlands as a
vital part of the land ecosystem. Through its Public Policy and
Facilities Committee, a Wetlands Working Group was formed to as-
sess the economic impacts and develop recommendations . It is in-
tended that the Group will carry these recommendations forward
into 1989 with the purpose of building an effective coalition of
public and private interests for action at local, state and fed-
eral levels of government .
Local Policy Task Forces
EDC will be conducting three Local Policy Task Forces during
the year representing East, South and West King County (including
Seattle) .
They will serve as advisory bodies to the EDC' s Board of Di-
rectors . In this capacity, they will propose overall policies and
activities to both the EDC' s board and standing committees .
As the grass roots base of the EDC, the groups are composed
of all members and coalition representatives in each area and also
charged with articulating and implementing economic strategies for
their particular region.
9
Representation of the three groups' interests on the Board is
provided in two ways . First they are chaired by members of the
EDC Board of Directors . Second, as members of the organization,
these participants may seek election to the Board of Directors .
Utilizing these bodies, the EDC is able to achieve a more ac-
tive and broader based participation in its programs . They also
allow community interests to identify what local level economic
development needs and strategies are of priority. Those of most
concern may then be offered the resources of EDC' s leadership and
coalition to help achieve them.
Project Reviews
The EDC will be available to the public sector entities as an
advisor or advocate regarding local economic development projects,
planned or proposed. The EDC will, upon request, review and com-
ment on plans of the public sector entities for growth and devel-
opment .
Technical Assistance
The primary coordinating role for the EDC and its staff is to
become a "conduit" for the exchange of information and opportuni-
ties between the public and private sector. As the staff gair
experience and its data base and network of relationships become`
more and more established, this role will continue to take on
added importance . Currently, a number of services will be avail-
able in 1989 under the primary work program as important conduits
for technical assistance, ie : the Business Help Center, the news-
letter, the hotline referral services, the guide for service pro-
viders and the marketing resource center, the special community
development program, Marketplace and the work of the Wetlands
Working Group. As appropriate, the EDC when requested will offer
suggestions or its library of technical data to assist the public

CANYON PARK PLAZA (TARGET STORE) ACQUISITION OF RIGHT OF WAY
Wickstrom explained that one of the SEPA mitigation conditions of
the project is to construct the 256th Street bypass. As such,..
right of way acquisition may be required. This same project is
also included in the City's Six-Year Transportation Improvement
Program; thus it will benefit the City's transportation system as
well as the development. The developer is asking whether the City
would be willing to pursue condemnation for the right of way should
they be unable to acquire same. Dowell asked who would pay the
costs of condemnation. Wickstrom clarified that while there may
be some City funds involved, the developer would be primarily
responsible therefor. The Committee unanimously recommended
approval of the request. It was clarified this would not go before
full council unless it is necessary to pursue condemnation after
the developer has demonstrated every effort to obtain the right of
way.
)r• JAMES STREET SIGNAL MODIFICATIONS
Wickstrom stated the funds for this signal modification could be
taken from the overlay budget of the 1989 Street Operating fund.
Due to the good bids we received on the overlays there is some
surplus in that fund. Wickstrom explained the modification would
entail putting the signal at 94th and James in a rest-on-red mode
east and west during the off-peak hours. This is being done in
response to Ms. MacNamara 's concerns about speeders. During the
peak hours, the signal would remain on green in the east-west
direction. It was clarified this expenditure would not be wasted
as this type of work will be required when the signal is
interconnected to the Master Signal Control computer. The
Committee unanimously ; recommended approval of transfer of the
$8, 000 from the 1989 Street Operation fund (asphalt overlay budget)
for this project.
L.I.D. 330 - 64TH AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS
Wickstrom explained the City has acquired all the necessary rights
of way except for that on the parcel owned by the LDS Church. He
requested authorization to proceed with condemnation in order to

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION
This bond is one of the fully registered City of
Kent, Washington, Local Improvement District No. 327
Bonds described in the Bond Ordinance.
Washington State Fiscal Agency
Bond Registrar
By
Authorized Officer
The authorized signing of a Certificate of Authentication shall
be conclusive evidence that the Bonds so authenticated have been
duly executed, authenticated and delivered and are entitled to
the benefits of this ordinance.
If any officer whose facsimile signature appears on the
Bonds ceases to be an officer of the City authorized to sign
bonds before the Bonds bearing his or her facsimile signature
are authenticated or delivered by the Bond Registrar or issued
by the City, those Bonds nevertheless may be authenticated,
delivered and issued and, when authenticated, issued and deliv-
ered, shall be as binding on the City as though that person had
continued to be an officer of the City authorized to sign
bonds. Any Bond also may be signed on behalf of the City by any
person who, on the actual date of signing of the Bond, is an
officer of the City authorized to sign bonds, although he or she
did not hold the required office on the date of issuance of the
Bonds.
Section 8. Bond Registrar. The Bond Registrar shall keep,
or cause to be kept, at its principal corporate trust office,
sufficient books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds
which shall be open to inspection by the City at all times. The
Bond Registrar is authorized, on behalf of the City, to authen-
ticate and deliver Bonds transferred or exchanged in accordance
with the provisions of the Bonds and this ordinance, to serve as
the City's paying agent for the Bonds and to carry out all of
- 5 -
the Bond Registrar 's powers and duties under this ordinance and
City Ordinance No. 2418 establishing a system of registration
for the City's bonds and obligations.
The Bond Registrar shall be responsible for its representa-
tions contained in the Bond Registrar's Certificate of Authenti-
cation on the Bonds. The Bond Registrar may become the owner of
Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were not the Bond
Registrar and, to the extent permitted by law, may act as depos-
itory for and permit any of its officers or directors to act as
members of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any com-
mittee formed to protect the rights of Bond owners.
Section 9. Bonds Negotiable. The Bonds shall be negoti-
able instruments to the extent provided by RCW 62A.8-102 and
62A.8-105.
Section 10 . Preservation of Tax Exemption for Interest on
Bonds. The City covenants that it will take all actions neces-
sary to prevent interest on the Bonds from being included in
gross income for federal income tax purposes, and it will
neither take any action nor make or permit any use of proceeds
of the Bonds or other funds of the City treated as proceeds of
the Bonds at any time during the term of the Bonds which will
cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for
federal income tax purposes. The City also covenants that, if
all gross proceeds of the Bonds have not been spent within six
months after the date of issuance of the Bonds, it will calcu-
late, or cause to be calculated, and rebate to the United States
all earnings from the investment of gross proceeds of the Bonds
that are in excess of the amount that would have been earned had
the yield on those investments been equal to the yield on the
Bonds, plus all income derived from those excess earnings, to
the extent and in the manner required by Section 148 of the
6 -
United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code") , and applicable regulations. If the City fails to meet
rebate requirements applicable to the Bonds under Section 148 of
the Code, the City covenants that, to the extent permitted by
that Section, it will pay the penalty provided in Subsection
148(f)(7)(C) if required to prevent interest on the Bonds from
being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes.
The City certifies that it has not been notified of any listing
or proposed listing by the Internal Revenue Service to the
effect that it is a bond issuer whose arbitrage certifications
may not be relied upon.
Section 11 . Approval of Bond Purchase Contract. Shearson
Lehman Hutton Inc. of Seattle, Washington, has presented a
purchase contract dated July, 1989 (the "Purchase Contract") ,
to the City offering to purchase the Bonds under the terms and
conditions provided in the Purchase Contract, which written
Purchase Contract is on file with the City Clerk and is incorpo-
rated herein by this reference. The City Council finds that
entering into the Purchase Contract is in the City's best inter-
est and therefore accepts the offer contained therein and
authorizes its execution by City officials.
The Bonds will be printed at City expense and will be
delivered to the purchaser in accordance with the Purchase
Contract, with the approving legal opinion of Foster Pepper &
Shefelman, municipal bond counsel of Seattle, Washington,
regarding the Bonds printed on each Bond. Except for those
sections of the final official statement entitled "Authoriza-
tion," "The Bonds, " "Tax Exemption" and "Certain Other Federal
Tax Consequences" and the first, second, fourth, sixth and
eighth paragraphs in the section entitled "Security, " bond
counsel shall not be required to review and shall express no
7 -
opinion concerning the completeness or accuracy of any official
statement, offering circular or other sales material issued or
used in connection with the Bonds, and bond counsel's opinion
shall so state.
The proper City officials are authorized and directed to do
everything necessary for the prompt delivery of the Bonds to the
purchaser, including without limitation the execution of the
Official Statement on behalf of the City, and for the proper
application and use of the proceeds of the sale thereof.

KENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT
July 13, 1989
MEMO TO: Mayor Dan Kelleher and City Council Members
FROM: James P. Harris, Planning Director
SUBJECT: PUBLIC NOTICE BOARDS
As noted in the accompanying staff report, the Council asked that
the Planning staff look into the possibility of providing a more
visible public notice at development sites.
After much research, the Planning Department developed three
alternatives for these notice boards. The alternatives were
presented to the Planning Commission at a workshop on April 24,
1989 and at a public hearing on June 19, 1989 . The Council
Planning Committee also had earlier reviewed the concept.
On June 19 the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council
that alternative "C" be the type of notice board used for public
notices (see the attached drawing) .
Staff will be available at the Council meeting of July 18 to
discuss the Planning Commission' s recommendation.

Kent City Hall
Kent, WA 98031
June 20,1989
Dear Council Members:
The modification of the Kent City Code requirements governing how the
public is to be notified of proposed land use actions and other, related,
public hearings has been considered carefully by the Planning Commission.
The recommendations that you will see are based on the following criteria
which we on the Commission feel is important to communicate to you.
-The citizens of our City frequently feel uninformed about land uses
proposed by the City and developers and as a result feel powerless to
impact these actions or to exert influence in the decision-making process.
-The current method of notification while visible to pedestrians is
virtually inaccessible to people in cars or other vehicles. It is also easily
vandalized, especially in areas with heavy pedestrian traffic.
-The newly recommended practice would mandate large signs with a
W telephone number visible from across a street. This telephone number can
be used to obtain the details of the planned action.
The cost of the sign, ultimately $15.00, will be an additional cost to
the developer but we believe that that is more than off-set by the
opportunity for the community to be informed and to know that an effort
is being made to include them in the process.
The Commission was pleased with the alternatives offered to us by the
Planning Department and unanimously support the recommendation we
have sent to you. We believe it will enhance the interactions between City,
citizens and developers.
Sincerely,
Linda W. Martinez
Chair, Kent Planning Commission

Commissioner Ward MOVED that the minutes of the March 27 , 1989
Planning Commission meeting be approved as printed. Commissioner
Forner SECONDED the motion. Motion carried.
Chairman Martinez asked for a member to join her at a meeting in
Tukwila City Hall on June 29 at 7 p.m. regarding the regional
transportation plan and development strategy which is being
developed by the Puget Sound Council of Governments.
PLANNING COMMISSION BYLAWS AMENDED
Chairman Martinez presented the current requirement that five
Planning Commission members must be present at a meeting in order
to constitute a quorum. She suggested that a majority of the
members appointed and seated on the Commission would be a more
workable requirement.
Commissioner Forner MOVED that the bylaws be changed to state that
the majority of the members who are appointed and seated on the
Commission must be present to constitute a quorum. Commissioner
Ward SECONDED the motion. Discussion followed.
Kent Planning Commission Minutes
June 19 , 1989
Commissioner Forner MOVED that the amendment to the bylaws be
reworded to state that the Commission could function with a
majority of members present based on the actual number of appointed
members, but a minimum of three commissioners must be in attendance
to constitute a quorum. Commissioner Biteman SECONDED the motion.
Motion carried unanimously.
EAST VALLEY ZONING FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS CPA 88-3
Ken Astrein presented the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law
for the East Valley Zoning Implementation. This is a written
statement acknowledging the facts presented during the public
hearings and stating the conclusions drawn by the Commission,
including the Commission' s recommendations to Council. For the
East Valley Zoning Implementation the City Council authorized the
Planning Commission, rather than the Hearing Examiner, to conduct
the hearings and make recommendations. The procedure was stated
in Ordinance 2809 passed in October 1988 . This ordinance required
the Commission to receive and examine available information,
conduct public hearings, prepare a record, and enter findings of
fact and conclusions based upon those facts together with a
recommendation to the City Council . This is the format normally
used by the Hearing Examiner.
Commissioner Stoner MOVED to adopt the findings and conclusions
presented by the Planning staff. Commissioner Biteman SECONDED the
motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Stoner MOVED that the public meeting be closed.
Commissioner Ward SECONDED the motion. Motion carried.
PUBLIC NOTICE BOARDS--ZCA 89-2
Chairman Martinez opened the public hearing.
Carol Proud presented the Council ' s request to research options for
providing on-site posting of public notices which would be more
visible to the community and less subject to vandalism than the
present system. Council members also expressed a desire to
increase the awareness of citizens regarding proposed land use
actions without overburdening City staff or the development
community.
Kent land use codes require the posting of public notices for
rezones, conditional use permits, variances, subdivisions,
shoreline permits and planned unit developments. Currently the
notice must be posted in three conspicuous places on or adjacent
to the subject property at least ten days prior to the date of the
2

public hearing. The codes do not specifically address the format
or size of the notice. Ms. Proud presented the current notice
board, compared these with the code requirements and procedures of
six local jurisdictions, and showed slides and diagrams
illustrating each.
Ms. Proud presented three alternatives to the Commission. Each
would be installed with two 4" x 4" x 8 ' posts.
Alternative A - 4 ' x 8 ' plywood face custom notice board. The
color and lettering would be consistent for all signs with
prescribed content for each land use action. The applicant would
be responsible for purchasing and installing the sign to City
specifications at the applicant' s cost ($200-$500 plus installation
cost) and would submit to the City a certificate of installation.
This would be costly to the applicant and could create a hardship
for smaller projects. In addition, these signs would create
potential traffic hazards.
Alternative B - 4 ' x 4 ' plywood face custom notice board. The
color, lettering, and content would be consistent for all land use
actions. The City would be responsible for painting, screening,
and installing new signs for each action at an approximate cost of
$100 to $200. The boards and posts would be reusable. In addition
to Planning staff time, this would require using either an in-
house graphics shop or a commercial sign company.
Alternative C - 4 ' x 4 ' plywood face generic notice board. The
color and generic heading would be the same for all signs. The
applicant would deposit $60 with the City and install the sign.
Staff would post the laminated notice sheets and a vinyl packet and
then refund $45 to the applicant. The $15 non-refundable fee would
recover the City's cost of initial sign fabrication. The costs
would be shared equitably by the City and the applicant and would
require minimal staff time. The generic sign would be reusable
and would be prominent and visible to the public. This plan would
require the City to store the signs and establish a monetary
deposit and refund system. Discussion followed. Ms. Proud
suggested a yellow sign to differentiate from Engineering signs and
those of other jurisdictions.
Chairman Martinez presented the following petition:
"The undersigned would like to urge the Planning Commission
to adopt the recommendation of staff regarding the Public
Notice Boards for rezoning and land development. "
Signed by Leona Orr, Kathy Myers, Al Silva, Kevin Platt, Jim
Flick, Jim Orr, Jeff Merganthol, Jacqueline D. Silva and
Laurie Sundsted.

Commissioner Forner MOVED to accept the proposed Alternative C as
presented by staff. Commissioner Ward SECONDED the motion.
Commissioner Forner commended staff for providing a much-improved
notification plan for the public. Chairman Martinez emphasized
that the timing rules and expectations of the applicant must be
clearly stated at the beginning of the process so that the
applicant would not experience delays in meetings resulting from
inadequate posting of notices. Discussion continued regarding the
time requirement for installation of signs.
Commissioner Uhlar-Heffner MOVED that the motion be amended to add
that notice boards must be installed 14 days prior to the hearing
date so that the public notice can be posted ten days prior to the
hearing date. Commissioner Stoner SECONDED the amendment. Motion
carried unanimously.

KENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF JUNE 19, 1989
REVISED PUBLIC NOTICE PROCEDURES
ZCA-89-2
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ACTION: To modify Kent City Code
requirements for providing on site public notification
of proposed land use actions and related public hearings.
I . BACKGROUND
In October, 1988 , the City Council requested that the Planning
Department research options for providing public notice at
development sites that is more visible to the community and
less subject to vandalism than the system now in use. The
staff conducted a preliminary survey of the methods used by
three local jurisdictions and presented the information to
the Planning Committee in a series of meetings beginning in
November, 1988 . In its review of public notice boards, the
Planning Committee expressed a desire to increase the
awareness of citizens of proposed land use actions without
overburdening City staff or the development community. In
March 1989 the Planning Committee directed staff to present
a code amendment to the Planning Commission which would
achieve this objective. The topic was introduced to the
Planning Commission at a workshop held April 24, 1989 .
II. EXISTING CODE REQUIREMENTS AND CURRENT POSTING PROCEDURES
Kent land use codes require the posting of public notices for
rezones, conditional use permits, variances, subdivisions,
shoreline permits and planned unit developments. The notice
must be posted in three conspicuous places on or adjacent to
the subject property at least ten days prior to the date of
the public hearing. The codes do not specifically address the
format or size of the notice.
The current public notice format consists of an 8 1/2"x il"
typed sheet of paper attached to a red, preprinted, 11"x 17" ,
cardboard public notice sign. The sign is plastic laminated
to withstand the weather, stapled to a four-foot stake and
posted by staff at appropriate locations.
The format complies with minimum code requirements and is
relatively easy to observe by pedestrian traffic. The signs
are too small to be readily observed by occupants of passing
1
Revised Public Notice Procedures ZCA-89-2
June 19, 1989
motor vehicles. Finding a safe place to pull off the road and
read the signs can be even more difficult. Vandalism is a
problem in those areas with heavy pedestrian traffic,
especially with children present.
In addition to the on-site posting requirements, all property
owners within either a 200 ' or 300' radius of an application
site receive notification of a pending land use action or
hearing. Public notification is also printed in the local
newspaper.
III . PLANNING DEPARTMENT REVIEW
Public notice boards used for land use actions like those used
by the Cities of Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond require the
applicant to provide and install a 4 ' X 8 ' plywood board
mounted on two 4" x 4" x 8 ' posts. The boards have specific
requirements as to lettering type, color and format. The cost
of these signs is borne by the applicant and can run between
$300 to $400 plus installation. This may be a heavy cost
burden to the applicant, especially for those not used to
having to pay for these notices.
Some cities choose lighter, smaller signs for public notices
and have City staff install them. The City of Lacey, for
example, uses a 2 ' x 3 ' board with the site plan and notice
attached. The boards and stakes can be reused, but Lacey
staff attest that the stakes are often stolen and the notices
often ruined by weather conditions within three days of
installation since they are unprotected.
For weather protection, Olympia uses a 4 ' x 4 ' metal (highway
type) sign with "PUBLIC NOTICE" in bold type at the top.
There is a plexi-glass cover on part of it to attach the
notice and protect it from rain. Although the signs are very
noticeable, effective and reusable, they are difficult to
install due to the weight of the metal sign.
The City of Kirkland offers a promising alternative, a 4 ' x
4 ' plywood board mounted on two 4" x 4" x 8 ' posts with a
simple title block. Attached to the board are two vinyl
covers for holding and protecting the public notice. One
notice is stationary, and the other holds copies of the notice
for passers-by to take. The City stores the signs and
"leases" them to the applicant as needed for $50, the cost of
the sign. The applicant must install the sign prior to the
hearing, and the City staff staples the notice and vinyl
covers to the erected sign one or two days later. This method
2
Revised Public Notice Procedures ZCA-89-2
June 19 , 1989
" saves the applicant money in ordering a new sign and merely
requires a deposit plus installation. It also saves staff
time normally used in installing the sign. An added benefit
is that these signs can be used by other departments for
public notices.
A chart listing a comparison of code requirements and
procedures of six local jurisdictions is included with the
staff report.
Three alternatives are presented for further review:
Alternative A - 4 'x 8 ' Custom Notice Board
Sign: 4 'x 8 ' plywood face, two 41'x 411x 8 '
posts.
Format: Color and lettering consistent for
all signs; prescribed content for
each land use action.
Cost: $200 - $500 plus installation cost.
Installation: Applicant responsible for purchasing
and installing sign to City
specifications; submits certificate
of installation to City.
Advantages: Applicant purchases and installs sign
at own cost; sign is very visible;
consistent format for all land use
actions; staff verifies installation
and format only.
Disadvantages: Costly to the applicant; creates
hardship for smaller projects;
potential traffic hazard.
Alternative B - 4 'x 4 ' Custom Notice Board
Sign: 4 'x 4 ' plywood face, two 4"x 4"x 8 '
posts.
Format: Color and lettering consistent for
all signs; prescribed content for
each land use action.
3
Revised Public Notice Procedures ZCA-89-2
June 19, 1989
Cost: $100 - $200 (includes staff time) .
Installation: City responsible for painting,
screening and installing new sign for
each action; boards and posts re-
useable.
Advantages: Relieves applicant of cost; sign very
visible.
Disadvantages: Considerable cost to the city both
monetarily and staff time; requires
either in-house graphic shop or
retaining commercial sign company.
Alternative C - 41x 4 ' Generic Notice Board
Sign: 41x 4 ' plywood face, two 411x 411x 8 '
posts.
Format: Color and generic heading same for
all signs; laminated notice sheet and
vinyl packet containing additional
notice sheets stapled to board.
Installation: Applicant installs generic sign,
deposit required; staff posts
laminated notice sheet and vinyl
packet.
Cost: $60 deposit by applicant with a $45
refund ($15 non-refundable fee to
recover City's cost of initial sign
fabrication) ; $60 per sign with bulk
order.
Advantages: Costs shared equitably by City and
applicant; requires minimal staff
time; generic sign is reusable and
can be used by other departments;
sign is prominent and visible to
public.
4
Revised Public Notice Procedures ZCA-89-2
June 19, 1989
Disadvantages: Requires City to store signs and
establish monetary deposit and refund
system; additional staff time
compared to present method; applicant
must install sign and pay a minimal
cost and deposit.
IV. PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Department recommends Alternative C as a
convenient and cost-effective method for providing public
notification of land use actions or hearings within the City
of Kent. This alternative provides an equitable sharing of
the responsibility to notify the public by both the applicant
and the City. The cost of the sign is minimal to the
applicant, and installation is relatively simple. Existing
facilities, finance structure and staff are available within
various City departments to accommodate this alternative.
A preliminary graphic of Alternative C is included with the
staff report.

CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE
MINUTES OF MEETING OF MARCH 71 1989
Councilman Mann will need to present feedback to the Roundtable on Kent's
response to the content of the action agenda, the five problem areas and the
recommended solutions. In addition, he will need feedback on whether Kent
wishes to continue as a member of the Roundtable, whether the Roundtable
should continue and in what form. If it is decided to go ahead with the
action agenda, the Roundtable either can use staff from participating
jurisdictions or can continue with the project management staff who will look
at financing options and start work in the five problem areas. The
Roundtable needs to know not only if it should continue, but at what level
it can be supported.
Lin Ball stated that the proposed level of continued participation by Kent
is approximately $13, 800. This is based on Kent's percentage of
participation last year times the costs identified for the project. Judy
Clegg indicated project staff is continuing to refine the cost estimates.
For example, the Local Initiative Support Corporation, an offshoot of the
Ford Foundation, provides technical assistance to people looking at community
development, at developing affordable housing. They are interested in
working with the Roundtable and private developers at their cost to put
together a strategy to address an equitable solution to siting affordable
housing. This would save the project an estimated $45, 000.
Chairwoman Woods appreciates the clear identification of five problem areas
and the overall productivity of the Roundtable group.
Lin Ball stated the Human Services Commission is planning a special meeting
to address this issue and will bring forward a recommendation to the Planning
Committee at the meeting of March 21. The Roundtable issue will be on the
Council agenda that same evening.
SPECIAL POPULATIONS KITCHEN REHAB. - BLOCK GRANT PROJECT
Councilman Dowell MOVED and Councilman Johnson SECONDED the motion to approve
the reallocation of Block Grant funds to rehabilitate the Resource Center
kitchen. Motion carried. Cheryl Fraser stated that the kitchen
rehabilitation will allow classes for the physically disabled as well as for
the low-income citizens in the neighborhood. This item will be placed on the
City Council agenda of March 21 under Other Business. Public notice will be
given.
ADDED ITEM
Councilman Johnson MOVED and Councilman Dowell SECONDED the motion to present
to the Planning Commission a code amendment related to public notice boards.
Motion carried.

REGULATORY REVIEW PROCESS
Fred Satterstrom noted that in August 1987 the process for considering
requests for regulatory review was -changed to forward all such requests
directly to the Planning Commission. If the Planning Commission denies a
request, an appeal can be made to the Planning Committee. Although the
Planning Department has not discouraged requests for regulatory review, the
process has been less time-consuming than was the case previously. Staff
believes the process is healthy, the requests have merit, and the Council has
made changes to the regulations because of such requests. Chairwoman Woods
and Councilman Johnson desire to continue with present procedures and
requested another review of same in January of 1990.
PUBLIC NOTICE BOARDS
Fred Satterstrom reported that the City of Lacey makes 3 x 3 public notice
signs in-house for posting on a stake. The signs take a staff planner 4
hours to make and 1 hour to post. Thurston County has a metal sign board
with plexiglass cover under which is placed a brightly-painted sign with a
generic heading in large print indicating "public notice. " The sign is very
heavy and posting would need to be done by someone of reasonable strength,
perhaps coordinated through the City Shops. Within the City of Kent there
would need to be approximately 6 sign boards at any given time. Councilman
Johnson suggested there could be standard signs for city use and the city
could require developers to do their own sign for everything that requires
a public hearing. Staff suggests a sign board that is not metal but that is
rigid and resistant to vandalism. Councilwoman Woods requested that staff
prepare suggestions including cost estimates for the January 19th committee
meeting.
FLICK FOLLOW-UP
Fred Satterstrom related the Law Department's arguments against extending the
waiting period for repeat applications for rezone: 1) Inflexibility (Not
only the citizens/developers would be required to wait but City requests
would also fall within the waiting period requirements, 2) An extended

December 27, 1988
TO: Judy Wo ds, Chair; Planning Committee
FROM: Fred . Satterstrom, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Publi Notice Boards
At the November 1, 1988 Planning Committee meeting, the Planning
Department presented information on the public notice board
requirements of Redmond, Bellevue, and Seattle. This information
is attached. After some discussion about factors of cost and
amount of labor and time involved, the Committee directed staff to
conduct additional research.
The Planning Department contacted two other jurisdictions which
have public notice board requirements: Lacey and Olympia. The
City of Lacey requires notice boards to be posted on all sites
which are the subject of a land use permit application (requiring
a public hearing) . The board is a simplified version of those
required by Redmond, Bellevue, and Seattle. It is smaller, being
only about 3 ' x 3 ' and is placed in the ground by a single 2" x 2"
stake. When installed, it stands approximately five or six feet
in height. The City designs, fabricates, and installs the sign.
Each public notice board is individually prepared by the Planning
Department. Lacey planners described the process as somewhat
labor-intensive.
The City of Olympia also posts public notice boards on sites of
proposed land use actions. Unlike Lacey, Olympia's notice board
is generic, carrying a banner titled "Public Hearing Notice" across
the top of the sign. The sign board has a transparent plexiglass
shield which can be raised and the typed notice inserted,
protecting it from the weather. The sign is made of metal and may
be used over and over. It is brightly painted like a highway sign
to make it noticeable. The City Planning Department is responsible
for erecting the sign on the site of the application. Olympia
planners indicate that the sign is effective in terms of notifying
the community, but the metal construction makes it heavy and
cumbersome to handle.
The requirements and experiences of Lacey, Olympia, and the three
cities studied earlier are all valuable in trying to understand
what Kent should do. The City Council should establish what the
objectives are in trying to inform the public of land use actions,
and then direct staff to develop the necessary procedures to
accomplish this.

KENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT
December 27, 1988
TO: Judy Woods, Chair; Council Planning Committee
FROM: Fre . Satterstrom, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Pon enn Mansion
The owners of the historical Ponnsenn Mansion have expressed an
interest in donating the home for public purposes. The mansion is
located at S. 259th Street/S. Central Avenue. It is a three-story,
turn-of-the-century dwelling originally built for a wealthy
railroad executive.
The zoning of the Ponnsenn site is CM-Commercial Manufacturing,
which allows commercial retail use. The owners would like to
develop their site and have the mansion relocated. Therefore, the
cost of the Ponnsenn home would be the cost of moving. Linda
VanNest, President of the Neeley Mansion Association, has
approached the City about the prospect of moving the mansion to a
City-owned site. Ms. VanNest will attend the January 3rd meeting
of the. Planning Committee and will help answer questions and
provide more information.
The first issue the Committee should address is its interest in
preserving this historical home. Based on that interest level, the
staff could be directed to research the costs associated with
moving such a dwelling and the availability of appropriate City-
owned sites. When this information has been assembled, the staff
could come back to the Committee (and the full Council) for final
action.

MOSS COMP PLAN AMENDMENT
Dan Stroh identified the Moss and Elkins properties and presented staff' s
proposal to expand the study area to include not only the Moss and Elkins
properties but also the area south of the Green River. There is before the
County Hearing Examiner at the present time a proposal to rezone the Bigford
property south of the river to light manufacturing. This area is part of the
City of Kent ' s 1982 Agricultural Lands study, the area was designated
Agricultural in our Comprehensive Plan, and the area is in our potential
annexation area. Staff is following closely the Bigford rezone and the City
has the option to appeal an unfavorable decision by the Hearing Examiner.
Also pending before the County Council is a proposal to zone the area as A-
10, a new class of agricultural production lands with 10-acre minimum lot
size. In other words, not only is the Bigford rezone request not consistent
with the City of Kent's Comprehensive Plan land use designation, but there
is internally within the county differences in perception of land use in the
area in question. Discussion occurred on annexing the area and the effect
of annexation on the proposals presently before the county. Councilman
Dowell asked if there were ways the City could protect land within our
potential annexation area from improper zoning. Dan Stroh responded the City
has the option to appeal the Hearing Examiner' s decision to the County
Council.
Lauri Anderson described the land uses in the area.
PUBLIC NOTICE BOARDS
In response to Councilman Johnson' s request at a previous meeting, Fred
Satterstrom distributed a comparison of Seattle's, Bellevue' s and Redmond' s
requirements for public notice boards, and the size of the board. The
requirements are similar with the essential difference that the City of
Seattle requires signs to be put on site for any action requiring SEPA
determination whereas the other two cities require signs for such things as
rezones, conditional use permits, plats, PUD' s, etc. In Kent, signs for all
SEPA actions would number in the hundreds whereas signs for other major
activities would number approximately 24 . Mr. Satterstrom mentioned that
Senior Planner Kathy McClung recently informed him the City of Lacey Planning
CITY COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE
MINUTES OF MEETING OF NOVEMBER 1, 1988
Department constructs 3x5 signs in-house as a cost-cutting measure. He added
that the public notice boards seem to be effective in Seattle, Bellevue and
Redmond; no longer do citizens complain about not being notified of pending
actions. There were no opponents when Redmond recently adopted their
requirements for public notice boards.
Jim Hansen stated citizens would be interested in the cost factor of the
posting. Mr. Satterstrom estimated the cost to be $300, plus installation.
Jim Harris stated that at the November 15th Planning Committee meeting, staff
will bring forward a proposal on the types of project which would require a
public notice board, the cost, the size, and the method used by City of
Lacey.
ANNEXATIONS
This item was deferred to the meeting of November 15, 1988 .
ADDED ITEMS
A brief discussion occurred on the Mayor's letter to Mr. Flick. For the
November 15th meeting, Chairwoman Woods suggested staff draft a response to
Mr. Flick outlining the process for rezones and inviting Mr. Flick to
participate in the housing study which is underway. In response to
-." Councilman Johnson, Jim Harris stated that the Planning Department' s staff
reports are based on review of the relevant comprehensive plan and staff
suggests review of the plan if it appears to be out of sync with land use.
Mr. Harris was of the impression that the applicant' s representative was
going to research the issue of the rezone and get back to Mr. Harris and City
Attorney Driscoll.
Chairwoman Woods asked how staff responds to the letters from the School
District on effects of proposed developments. She suggested the City meet
with the School District to let them know that if they can get a proposal
through the State Legislature to allow cities to collect money for schools
from developers, the City would be receptive to that idea.
Mr. Harris confirmed for Chairwoman Woods that the City of Kent does not have
adult mobile home parks in the City.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at approximately 5: 10 PM. The next meeting will be
held November 15, 1988 at 4 : 00 PM in the Second Floor Conference Room.

CANYON PARK PLAZA (TARGET STORE) ACQUISITION OF RIGHT OF WAY
Wickstrom explained that one of the SEPA mitigation conditions of
the project is to construct the 256th Street bypass. *As such,.
right of way acquisition may be required. This same project is
also included in the City' s Six-Year Transportation Improvement
Program; thus it will benefit the city's transportation system as
well as the development. The developer is asking whether the City
would be willing to pursue condemnation for the right of way should
they be unable to acquire same. Dowell asked who would pay the
costs of condemnation. Wickstrom clarified that while there may
be some City funds involved, the developer would be primarily
responsible therefor. The Committee unanimously recommended
approval of the request. It was clarified this would not go before
full council unless it is necessary to pursue condemnation after
the developer has demonstrated every effort to obtain the right of
way.
JAMES STREET SIGNAL MODIFICATIONS
Wickstrom stated the funds for this signal modification could be
taken from the overlay budget of the 1989 Street Operating fund.
Due to the good bids we received on the overlays there is some
surplus in that fund. Wickstrom explained the modification would
entail putting the signal at 94th and James in a rest-on-red mode
east and west during the off-peak hours. This is being done in
response to Ms. MacNamara ' s concerns about speeders. During the
peak hours, the signal would remain on green in the east-west
direction. It was clarified this expenditure would not be wasted
as this type of work will be required when the signal is
interconnected to the Master Signal Control computer. The
Committee unanimously; recommended approval of transfer of the
$8, 000 from the 1989 Street Operation fund (asphalt overlay budget)
for this project.
L.I.D. 330 - 64TH AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS
Wickstrom explained the City has acquired all the necessary rights
of way except for that on the parcel owned by the LDS Church. He
requested authorization to proceed with condemnation in order to
Public Works Committee
July 11, 1989
Page 2
be able to proceed with the project. The Committee unanimously
recommended approval of the request.
FRAGER AND 212TH
Nizlek stated the signing has been modified as discussed at
previous Committee meetings. He would like to also install an
"Arterial Turn" -sign in the vicinity of 200th and Frager to attempt
to reduce the volume of traffic going south on Frager. The
location is actually in Tukwila and they have given approval as
long as Kent owns and maintains the sign. Nizlek requested
concurrence from the Committee to place this sign. The Committee
unanimously recommended approval .
WESTERN PROCESSING
Greg Wingard inquired as to the status of the response to the
issues he raised at the Operations Committee a couple of months
ago. Driscoll stated that response to those issues was going to
be brought back before the Operations Committee at their second
meeting in August. There was discussion about Midway Landfill.
Driscoll stated she would see that the Council members were placed
on the mailing list for the newsletter which is published by
Seattle. Dowell asked if the consultants make reports. Driscoll
stated the consultants work with staff and they will be doing
quarterly reports on Western Processing. Dowell requested the
consultants be present at the Operation Committee meeting to give
summary reports on these two sites.
Wingard suggested that the Chem Central facility and the data on
the groundwater pollution of the site be reviewed as to whether it
affects the Western Processing site.
PUBLIC WORKS STAFFING/BUDGET
There was discussion concerning the use of consultants on City
projects to relieve the work load on existing staff. Wickstrom
indicated the use of consultants still requires staff time to
manage their work. He responded he felt we could meet the proposed •
time schedule for the upcoming projects. Hansen reiterated that-
he and Ed Chow had met with Wickstrom this morning and were
comfortable with Wickstrom' s management plan for projects.
