Kjell Stoknes, Planning Director, distributed Minutes from the February 26 Planning Commission meeting and he briefly reviewed the history of the City Council's request to update the Park Plan. He stated he has been advised by I.A.C. that grant applications will be accepted up to April 1 for thi: year and that an approved Park Plan.must be sub- mitted at that time. He recommended that the first year's project for improving Christiansen Rd. be approved and the other projects may be reviewed and amended next year. Carl Stixrood, consultant, explained how the plan was implemented on the basis of the citizen questionnaire. Mayor Bauch called for audience comments. Mr. Ben Aliment asked about the golf course informa. tion on page 47. Kjell Stoknes replied this acquisition was rated below the other projects and it is not included in the Capital Improvement Program -- it is an alternate project. Councilwoman Harris asked if this is the first time this document has been available to the public. Kjell Stoknes replied the information was available at the Planning Commission's public hearing. Coun- cilwoman Harris stated the document is rather diffi cult for the public to assimilate in order to make any comments tonic:ht.

Public Meeting: Subdivision application - Frank Todd TING MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY VAN DUSEN, TIIAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE DECLARED CLOSED.* Mayor Bauch stated a letter was received from I.A.C. stating that all applications for grant funds and submittal of plans are due April 1; the letter was received in January and it was the first indication of the deadline now imposed. In reply to a question of Councilman Gardner's, Carl Stixrood stated that the Planning Department has contacted King County Flood Control and that this plan does meet their requirements for work along Green River. The reason for repealing the current park plan is that it is no longer valid in the opinion of I.A.C. *CARRIED. The public hearing was closed at 7:28 P.M. Councilwoman Harris questioned if the public hearing had been adequately conducted; not all of the mater- ial has been reviewed. Mayor Bauch asked about the public hearing held before the Planning Commission. Mr. Ron Mettler, Planning Commission Chairman, stated the public hearing was held in January and continued to February but the crowd was disappointing. He stated all the Planning Commission meetings are duly advertised. Mr. Frank Kriedler stated he was not sure of what was proposed to be adopted and how the City would be bound by it. Steve Hall, Public Works Director, stated it is similar to the 6 -Year Road Program in that by adopting the plan, the staff would be able to initiate proceedings on grant funding. The plan can be revised at any time later. Mrs. Rena Holloway stated the plan extends to 1981. She felt all the improvements are too much of a commitment from the City for maintenance, etc. She asked if the plans were consecutive. Steve Hall replied this plan is only an indication of the desired improvements. If the funds are not availablE then the projects cannot be accomplished. The plans can be revised on the basis of funding and changes in priorities. The Program is a guideline for budget ing and for applying for grant funds and it is not a commi_ttent to spend the money. Kjell Stoknes added that we anticipate to find the funding in the genera] fund of the City and not to request new taxes for any of these projects. In reality, 20-30% of these types of plans are actually completed and if we can achieve 3 out of these 10 projects, we will be doing well. Councilwoman Harris stated she felt this needed more study. Mayor Bauch stated this new Program matches the current park plan about 90%, with only the completed projects and municipal build• ing projects removed. There is also a new order of priorities. Discussion continued. Kjell Stoknes, Planning Director, stated this item was introduced at the last Council meeting at which time the public meeting date was set. The Planning Commission considered the staff report on January 29 and consequently recommended three conditions of approval as well as the approval of the proposal. If the City Council concurs with the Planning Commis sion, it would be appropriate to_read the proposed resolution which appears on the agenda tonight. If not, any changes be subject to a public.hearin heforp 1-hr C i t y , 1 LA CITY COUNCIL AI fch 1, 1976 age 9 RECESS 1.0:17 P.M. - 10:22 P.M.

Councilman Saul stated he felt there shoul, be some public discussion between the time the legis lati.on is introduced and the time it is passed. Council President Hill stated there is no reason to delay these service agreements for the additional two weeks; there are other important matters that we can take time for public input. Mrs. Joanne Davis stated her concern that the Counci . in order to observe thoughtful government needs to b aware of the value of allowing two weeks to pass be- tween introduction and passage of their legislation. Mrs. Davis related the incident of the changes which took place regarding the smoke screen ordinance.

He added that he did not mean to pick on any one Council Member-but one had sub- mitted a bill for attending a school. He said that Department Heads needed approval before they could . attend schooling and he wondered how the City Council felt about the matter - should a City Counci Member obtain approval before attending such school- ing and presenting the bill? Councilman Van Dusen suggested that the City Council approve such schooli before they get paid - that the Council Members need to get approval from someone the same as Department Heads. Councilman Saul stated that the City Council Members attend these schools on their "off" time and he asked the amount of the voucher. Council President Hill stated it was for $16.00 and he was wondering how the other Council Members felt about the procedure policy. Councilman Saul stated that h thought the procedure to follow would be to get prio Council approval before attending school and present ing the bill for payment. Council President Hill- stated that the City Council would then make it a policy for City Council Members to obtain prior appr val before attending conferences and schools and presenting the bill to the city. *CARRIED.

Mayor Bauch declared the public hearing open at 7:10 P.M. Planning Director Kjell Stoknes stated the Open Space Committee had recommended four objec• tives in the proposed open space element of the comprehensive plan. Objective 1 would provide for an adequate and diversified supply of open spaces and include them in an open space system. This objective concerns the first element of the open space system, namely the open spaces (or parts). These may include active recreational facilities like a softball field, passive recreational facilit• ies like picnic grounds, parks or forests, and they may be publicly owned like a park or privately owne( like a golf course. They may be lands with low development opportunity and /or high natural amenity Lands which have low development opportunity and /or high natural amenity value have been identified in Natural Environment element and should be utilized in the open space system. These areas include, but are not limited to, steep hillsides, landslide areas, wooded areas, and water features like marshe and streams. It is the intent of this objective to make these lands more accessible to the public by visually or physically relating them to the recrea- tional facilities of the open space system The policy shall be to strive to preserve steep hillsid and wooded areas in a scenic condition. Encourage replanting and revegetation of denuded areas not in the process of development; to encourage the preser vation of marshes, ponds, and watercourses for open space purposes and include them in the open space system; provide for active recreation areas (ballfields, tennis courts, swimming pools, play- grounds, community center) consistent with the need of the community; provide for passive recreational areas (parks, natural reserves, picnic grounds) consistent with the needs of the community; locate public recreational facilities where they are easil accessible to the resident population; insure that the public use of open space lands does not inter- fere with the private use of surrounding private property; encourage commercial recreation and uses of an open space nature to locate or remain in the Planning Area; preserve significant cultural, histo ical, or architectural elements in the Planning Area. Objective 2 would establish a safe path or trail system which serves to link the open spaces forming an open space system. By linking open space, a total system can be achieved that is greater than the sum of its parts. Connective links or pathways are worthwhile in their own right, but they become even more effective when they tie other open spaces together. The total effect is geometric, not simpl arithmetic, and it allows a person on foot, bicycle or horse to move from one area of interest to another in an attractive environment. Trails and paths currently exist throughout the Tukwila Planni Area; and are used by the residents for recreation and for the utilitarian function of facilitating pedestrian traffic from point to point. These trai must be identified in order to be incorporated intc the formal trail system. The policies shall be to create a trail system consisting of lowland and up- land trails and link them together at strategic ZJt yd 1 11 1311(1 op(?rl space a.LOng ::WILA CITY COUNCIL MEP.TING ebruary 17, 1976 - r age 3 PUBLIC HEARINGS - Contd. V / Proposed Open Space Element of the Comprehensive Plan Up -date - Contd. 14 the Green River and incorporate them into the low- land trail and open space system; connect concentrz tions of commercial/retail activity with the pathw network; trail easements should be gained through, in, or along areas of high natural amenity; where appropriate, construct pathways in existing street rights -of -way in order to help establish a pathway system; where possible and where no public rights -of -way are available, gain trail easements through private property, consistent with private property rights, in order to help establish the trail system; and the trail system should be compat ible with pedestrian and bicycle traffic but motor- ized vehicles should be strictly prohibited. Objective 3 is methods for implementing the open space program which would minimize the economic impact on the taxpayer and landowner. Fee simple or outright purchase of recreation and open space land represents the most common, direct, and usually the most expensive way of acquiring open space. There are other methods in addition to fee simple purchase, however, through which the public can secure open space. Lease of trail easements or tax relief on farmland are but two examples of methods in which the City can retain open space without actual purchase of land. The policies are encourage the use of Open Space Taxation on lands in the Planning Area which are eligible for such tax practices; building and zoning regulations should offer some flexibility in their requirement: with regards to developments which offer to set aside a portion of the property in open space; sce- nic, access, or trail easements should be obtained in or through areas which are critical to the over- all open space system; strive to maximize the effe( tiveness of the local tax dollar spent on park and trail acquisition and development by seeking match- ing monies from other sources. Objective 4 is to complement and enhance the Tukwi: Open Space Plan through coordination with regional plans for parks, trails, and open space. Planning for parks without regard for the park and open space programs of other jurisdictions can lead to unnecessary duplication and disjointed open space systems. By considering other jurisdictions pro- grams in the planning process, trail systems can bl tied together, parks and open space facilities can be complemented and the user of the open space sys• tem will be richer for it. Policies are to coordii ate with Renton, Kent, and King County on shoreline planning for. the Green River; and to coordinate wi Renton, Kent, and King County on trails planning. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT A FORMAL MOTION ADOPTING THE PROPOSED OPEN SPACE ELEMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UP -DATE BE PREPARED FOR TI-IE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND ACTION .MILL BE TAKEN UPON IT AT TI-IAT TIME.* Councilman Gardner made th statement that these shorelines programs and envir onmental impact programs like this preliminary draft on open space - what good is all of this if we are going to be by- passed? Steve Hall, Directo of Public Works, stated that all of this was befor the City had a Shoreline Management portion of the Act and it was covered under the King County and State Flood Control Permit System. That was the problem that the City ran into. This was prior to Shoreline Management. *CARRIED. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL February 17, 1976 Page 4 PUBLIC HEARINGS - Contd.

He stated that the discussion did not appear to be contrary to the objectives set forth i Mr. Bernard's letter and he felt these objectives were important. Mr. Joseph Johanson, audience, ask if there has been a change in Council policy regard ing final adoption of the Comprehensive Plan as it goes through its various stages - is it to be adopt in final form in one of the motions, rather than piece -meal as it went through? Ms. Pesicka said that the Council had decided rather than to draw up a resolution for each one, they would make a motion tentatively passing it and that later they would have the intent of passing the complete thing The motion that had been made was a motion of inten Mayor Bauch explained that it was the decision of the Council to adopt a formal motion of intent - to adopt this at a later date when all five element were available. At the first public hearing we had there were considerable comments from.the floor saying that until we hear what all of the elements are and what the content of all of the elements are that they felt it should not be adopted by resoluti The Council felt that they could make the motions, or changing them by motion, would be much easier than drawing up resolutions to change the resolutic so this is the method they are using for all five elements.
