established and is operational. The number, 1- 877 TUKWILA, serves as the preferred method
by travelers for acquiring information about the area. It is staffed Monday through Friday from

A database has been established which tracks every inquiry relating to tourism and marketing of
the area and contains over 1,000 persons intending to visit Tukwila or looking for conference
sites.
Since a media campaign was established in November, 1999, several paid advertisements have
been placed which highlight Tukwila's central location, easy access, value priced hotels, nearby
attractions, restaurants and shopping opportunities. Ads have been placed in magazines such as
Alaska/Horizon Air In- Flight, Where Magazine, Pacific Northwest Meeting Planners Guide,
Pacific Northwest Travel, Washington State Travel Planner and the South County Journal
Special Issue "New Millennium Each ads has resulted in several inquiries.

truck for the Tukwila Fire Department.*
Discussion: Chief Keefe noted the chassis will be built in 2000 and the completed truck will be
delivered in January, 2001. The truck will be paid for from budget monies in 2000 and 2001.
Further discussion centered on why only one bid was received. The three main reasons for
receiving only one bid are: 1) it is a custom job with City of Tukwila specifications; 2)
businesses are busy and not "hungry" for additional work; and 3) the truck to be received is
standard to the City of Tukwila Fire Department.
*The motion carried 7 -0.
PUBLIC HEARING:
Appeal of Planning Commission's 12/9/99 denial of Request for Reasonable Use
Exception to construct home. Appellant: J. A. K., Inc., by Jihad Keirouz. (Closed
Record, quasi judicial public hearing)
City Attorney Bob Noe began by summarizing the contents of a letter he sent to Council, dated
02- 14 -00, explaining their options after holding this hearing. This is an appeal hearing with no
new evidence being allowed. The City Attorney is not required to swear in any parties as
Council will only consider evidence, information and testimony previously submitted to the
Planning Commission. In the end, Council may:
uphold the decision of the Planning Commission;
overturn the decision of the Planning Commission and remand the matter; or,
enter their own decision on the matter
City of Tukwila Page 4 of 11
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 22, 2000
Mr. Stanley, the appellant's attorney and Mr. Johns, the City's attorney, each have 15 minutes to
argue their case with Mr. Stanley being allowed an additional 5 minutes for rebuttal.
Appellant's attorney Tom Stanley, from Mill Creek, appeared on behalf of his client, Jihad
Keirouz.
Mr. Stanley began by stating the main thrust of this appeal can be reduced to just one issue. That
being "was this property a separate parcel at all times or was it a larger, single piece of property
that was then subdivided Mr. Stanley felt the staff report for this matter placed the heaviest
emphasis on the position that "Mr. Keirouz bought this as a single property and then segregated
or subdivided out." Stanley stated the reason this issue is so important is due to the fact the
Planning Commission perhaps considered the wrong question when making their decision.
The question the Planning Commission focused on was "Can the City of Tukwila, within the
large boundaries of the constitutional authority, deny the development of this property under the
constitutional rules regarding takings." He said the correct and real question should have been,
"should you "Is it a good idea, from a public policy standpoint and does it make sense, based
on sound land use planning principles The answer to that, he said, lies within the Tukwila
Municipal Code (TMC), not in the State or Federal Constitution. The applicant would like
Council to consider the "should you do this" question. Should the Council grant this reasonable
use exception in this case based on the criteria found in the TMC?
Mr. Stanley then noted the property in question was platted in 1907 as three separate and distinct
parcels of land; i.e., lots 12, 13 14. At all times since 1907 there has never been a boundary
line adjustment or consolidation of the property lines. The appellant bought lots 12, 13 14,
along 33 Avenue South, in Tukwila.
Continuing on, Mr. Stanley relayed the property contains nothing more than a drainage swail.
It is not a retention/detention pond, river or a stream.
Based upon the premise of the statements made on behalf of the appellant, Mr. Stanley asked
Council to overturn the decision of the Planning Commission and remand the matter back for
presentation of further evidence and consideration.
After receiving approval from the City Attorney on each question posed, the City Council asked
Mr. Stanley various questions on the appellant's position.
Land use attorney Bob Johns, appearing on behalf of the City, explained the reasonable use
exception as defined in the TMC. He noted one of the factors which triggered the reasonable
request exemption is the property in question is not buildable where it must comply with relation
to the sensitive areas ordinance. The sensitive areas ordinance provides for no filling of wetlands
or the placement of streams in culverts. The exception, which the applicant wishes to pursue, is
to take the reasonable use exception allowing him to fill in the wetland and put the stream in a
culvert.
One of the constitutional requirements of a governmental agency regulating land issues states
that agency may not deny the owner of all economically viable uses of his or her property. The
City of Tukwila Page 5 of 11
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 22, 2000
reasonable use exception was created in order to avoid that situation; i.e. paying compensation to
property owners when they have lost all economic use of the property.
Mr. Stanley asserts the applicant in this matter did receive a reasonable economic use and return
on his property when one house on two lots was torn down and two were built in its place and
later sold. Therefore, it is the opinion of Mr. Johns the City is not required to grant Mr. Keirouz
a reasonable use exception in order to avoid violating constitutional rules.
To that end, Mr. Johns requested the Council uphold the ruling of the Planning Commission and
deny the request for a reasonable use exception.
In rebuttal, Mr. Stanley asserted Mr. Johns did not focus on the issue currently before the
Council. The issue before the Council at this point, in his words, is "do we satisfy the reasonable
use exception criteria in the TMC." He states his client does satisfy the criteria.
At 8:20 p.m., Mayor Mullet closed the public hearing and Council asked further questions of
Mr. Johns. After which Council began deliberating the issue. All members spoke in favor of the
decision of the Planning Commission.
Hearing no opposition, Mayor Mullet called for a vote to uphold the decision of the
Planning Commission, (denying applicant's request for a reasonable use exemption). The
motion carried 7 -0.
(8:30 p.m.) Hernandez moved; Duffie seconded; to take a 10- minute recess. The motion
carried 7 -0.
