Council President Traynor read a letter from Richard B. Hansen,
Acting Planning Coordinator, dated December 11, 1973, regarding
the Planning Commissions recommendations on this rezone. A copy of
which is on file in the City Clerk's Office. Public Works Director,
Steve Hall stated that the area involved has already been covered
in the previous hearing. Council President Traynor then called for
comments from the audience, either for or against the rezone
request. Frank Todd, 14446 59th Ave. So. "before I say anything
on behalf of this rezone request, I would like the record to
indicate that I have requested Mr. Mettler who is the Chairman of
the Planning Couuuission, who is in the audience to state for the
record whether or not he voted either for or against or made any
remarks pertinent to the request for a comprehensive plan change
and for the zoning change. "Ron Mettler, 14800 Interurban Ave. So.
"I chaired the meeting, I did not vote, I don't vote when I'm on the
chair." Todd "Did you make any comments pro or con regarding this
subject Mr. Mettler "I'm sure our minutes will show that I didn't
make any more than general comments on this, I can't recall, but
I'm sure that I didn't make any comments that would influence
anyone. You were there Mrs. Harris." Mrs. Harris "That's right
Ron." Mr. Todd "Now before you sit down, could you answer one
question for me. Do you have any financial interest, any interest,
whatsoever in this subject matter." Mr. Mettler "In that property
no, none." Mr. Todd "or in any property that I own Mr. Mettler
"none, no property in fact Mr. Todd and I, for the record, prior to
the time of that Public Hearing, the most that we discussed it was
the fact that he said he had a petition for a Public Hearing,
outside of that, I don't think we ever discussed it." Mr. Todd
stated that he is interested in the land zoning classification being
placed on this, as yet only piece of unzoned right of way from the
Renton Three Tree Point Road to the North City limits. It's all
M -1 and he requests M -1 to conform with the rest of the land.
There was no one else to speak for or against the rezone.
7:38 p.m. MOVED BY STERLING, SECONDED BY STEVENS, THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE
CLOSED. CARRIED.
Saul questioned Mr. Mettler on whether or not there is any zoning
on that 100 foot strip on Interurban Ave. now. Mr. Mettler stated
that he feels it's zoned M -1. Council President Traynor stated
that it's indicated on the zoning map but not on the comprehensive
map. Steve Hall stated that one possible reason that no changes are
shown on that map is because it was the exhibit to the original land
use map. Councilman Saul stated that it makes good sense to zone the
same all around but feels that it should be zoned for Public Utilitie
rather than M -1. Council President Traynor stated that they should
go back to the map attached to Ord. #251 and if it shows that area
as being zoned M -1 then that's it. Councilman Sterling stated that
he doesn't recall anything changing it but would like to see the
original. Council President Traynor stated that they need to talk
to the Planning personnel regarding the original map attached to
Ord. #251 and if it's not spelled out, it should be studied re:
the M -1 zoning.
