A RESOLUTION of the City
Council of the City of Kent,

of the City Council to annex a
certain island of territory
contiguous to the city limits of the
city of Kent.
WHEREAS, the boundaries of certain unincorporated territory
are entirely contiguous with the boundaries of the City of Kent;
and
WHEREAS, the entire area of unincorporated territory comprises
less than one hundred acres; and
WHEREAS, the area of unincorporated territory constitutes an
"island of territory" as defined in RCW 35A.14.295; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the interests of
the people of the City of Kent would be best served if said lands
were annexed to and became a part of the City of Kent. NOW,
THEREFORE,
The City Council of the City of Kent, Washington, does hereby
resolve as follows:
Section 1. An island of unincorporated territory bounded on
all sides by the boundaries of the City of Kent (hereafter, the
"West Hill Island") , which is described on the map attached to this
resolution as Exhibit A, should be annexed to the City of Kent.
The West Hill Island is generally bounded on the west by Military

Section 2. As nearly as can be determined, there are 144
registered voters in the West Hill Island.
Section 3. Notice is hereby given that a public hearing shall
be held in the Council Chambers of the Kent City Hall during the
regularly scheduled City Council Meeting to be held on Tuesday,
July 7, 1992, at 7:00 p.m., Pacific Daylight Time; further, the
City Clerk shall publish notice of the public hearing at least once
a week for two weeks prior to the date of the hearing in one or
more newspapers of general circulation within the City of Kent and
within the West Hill Island.
Section 4. The City's existing services, utilities and parks
will benefit the West Hill Island and, therefore, should the city
annex the area, the property within the annexation should assume
the existing indebtedness of the City of Kent and the city should
assess and tax the West Hill Island at the same rate and upon the
same basis as other property within the City of Kent and,
consequently, any ordinance annexing the West Hill Island shall so
provide.
Section 5. Any ordinance annexing the West Hill Island shall
not adopt additional zoning regulations pursuant to RAW 35A.14.330
et seg.; rather, the City of Kent shall implement its existing
zoning regulations that apply to newly annexed territory.
