Mayor Rants explained the summary table of proposed revisions, staff
recommendations and applicant responses resulted out of the public
hearing held on August 11, 1997. The applicant was given an opportunity
to review the table prior to distribution. Rants informed the Council there
could be no new information presented at tonight's meeting; however, the
Council was free to ask questions of staff and/or the applicant on any of the
issues discussed during previous public hearings.
MOVED BY HERNANDEZ, SECONDED BY MULLET, TO APPROVE
THE REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF SUNSHINE RIDGE
PRD/DESIGN.*
DCD Director Steve Lancaster commented that if Council made substantial
changes from the staff recommendation, a tentative decision would need to
be affirmed through a resolution at the next meeting. The resolution should
include findings to support their decision.
A lengthy discussion ensued with Councilmembers making numerous
suggestions and wording changes throughout the Sunshine Ridge PRD
document, while taking into consideration staff recommendations and
applicant responses.
Mayor Rants suggested that some of the wording in particular sections of
the document be left in the hands of staff so that it meets the intent of the
Council but is not unreasonable to the applicant.
It was the consensus of the Council to direct staff to prepare a resolution
with finding and conclusions for further consideration by Council.
*MOTION CARRIED AS AMENDED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST
FOR MODIFICATIONS OF SUNSHINE RIDGE PRD/DESIGN. (6 -1;
HAGGERTON DISSENTING).
Councilmember Haggerton explained that he does not wish to impose any
undue hardship on an applicant nor staff; however, there have been too
many changes to this particular project. Therefore, he'd rather withhold his
vote.

REPORTS
Councilmember Hernandez reported she previewed the senior housing in
Federal Way on August 16th; she updated the Council on the Equity
Diversity Retreat. Hernandez distributed materials from the City of
Bellevue's Cultural Program. The next Equity and Diversity meeting is
scheduled for September 4, 7:30 p.m., Tukwila Community Center.
Councilmember Haggerton reported (in Councilmember Ekberg's absence)
on issues that were discussed at the Community Affairs and Parks
Committee meeting. He wanted the record to show he disagreed with the
majority decision to recommend no action on the draft resolution regarding
the formation of a Puget Sound Council. Haggerton says he believes the
Council should take a stand on this issue and make the community aware
of the Council's position.
Councilmember Carter reported she attended a training session in Burien
last week regarding marijuana. She said four hundred people were in
attendance. Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen was also present, and Carter
had an opportunity to bring up the issue of legalizing marijuana for special
cases of illnesses. Lt. Governor said enough signatures have been obtained
on petitions for the issue to go before the voters this fall.
Carter requested Council receive a schedule of the deadlines for Hazelnut
articles for the rest of 1997.
Councilmember Linder reported on issues addressed at the Finance and
Safety Committee meeting. Of specific interest was the item on salary
survey comparisons. The consultant said the City of Tukwila is about 4 or
5% lower than other comparable cities. The next meeting is scheduled for
October 6 to discuss cost. A model will be introduced and other
information will be provided for review at that time.
Linder attended the Highway 99 Action Committee meeting on August
12th where Assistant Chief Keith Haines was presented the Committee's
award for the month of August.
