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,

MOTION FAILED.
MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY TRAYNOR,THAT THE CITY HALL SITE BE

THE PURCHASE OF HIS PROPERTY. CARRIED.
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. Councilman Van Dusen introduced
a rezone ordinance,suggested it be placed on its first reading
and then follow Staff advice and take a look at the situation.
