MOVED BY SAUL, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE COUNCIL ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION OF MITHERN ASSOCIATES AND NAME SITE 6 AS THE SITE FOR THE NEW CITY HALL.* Many opinions were expressed comparing the two sites. Ms. Pesicka stated that according to future plan- ning the Desimone property could go for apartments and she would hate to see apartments that close to the grade school, if we can get a park like setting for city hall it would make a buffer against apartments creeping up the hill. Van Dusen stated the architect had a lot of good points but his idea has always been campus style buildingsin a wooded area. Saul stated he likes the way Site 6 separates the City itself from Southcenter and the business districts' can be seen from I -5, 405 and the Valley.The city hall on the Desimone site will encourage requests for rezones for businesses along 65th Ave. South. Ms. Harris stated that they should consider the practical matter of money, compare the cost of building 2 or 3 smaller buildings to one larger, the cost of site preparation and future maintenance and upkeep costs. We are responsible to our electorate and its wise for us to keep the finances upper most in our minds. Discussion continued from both Council and audience with Mrs. Anna Bernhard stating she wanted to go on re- cord that she thinks the Desimone property would be just beauti- ful for a campus type setting. *ROLL CALL VOTE: 4 NOS HILL, PESICKA, TRAYNOR, VAN DUSEN; 3 AYES GARDNER, HARRIS, SAUL.

Kjell Stoknes, Planning Director, reviewed the Staff Report on a requested change of zoning from R -3 to R -4 for property on 62nd Ave. South. The Planning Commission recommends the City Council grant the rezone provided the applicant enter into an agreement to include five stipulations, one of them being a limitation of density to 104 units. The report states that Staff feels 40 units per acre is quite high and few site amenities can be retained at that density. Mr. Stoknes requested the Council allow the staff to take them on a tour of certain apartment complexes. Staff feels this tour will help the Council decide what density they want to use in future apartment development. Mr. Stoknes stated that at 25 units per acre you can still maintain some of the site amenities. The Citizen Residence Committee suggested the apartment development for high density be similar with what is established in the City today, somewhere in the average of 22 to 25 units per acre. Discussion continued. Mr. Todd stated that up until this time density had not been considered. He feels he is being penalized once again.
