his own risk. He explained that if the SAO requires that the
development sit back from the slope, the house would have to be
moved back. Right now the SAO is not looking at a setback from the
top of the slope or the toe of the slope anything greater than 50 feet.
In this case, Mr. Beeler is concerned that he get enough predictability
so that the applicant could proceed to a short plat or at least building
on the up ' upslope part of the property where the major flat area is.
The buyer who comes in to short plat or build a home, would have to
do a survey to establish the brow of the hill and setback of 50 feet. If
the further condition of compliance with the SAO was part of the
conditions of the waiver, the buyer/builder would take on the risk of
having to move the home back should the final SAO require it or if the
SAO did not have a built -in variance process. Mr. Beeler added that
the latest draft of the SAO had not gone to public hearing as yet.
Councilmember Moriwaki commented that even if the issue is
reconsidered the discovery of where the brow actually is will still need
to be done. Mr. Beeler responded that he agreed; however, the
burden of proof would move from the applicant to the buyer.
Mayor VanDusen asked if those Councilmembers who voted in favor
of the motion wished to reconsider the decision. Councilman
Robertson responded "no ". The problem here is that if we continue
past policy, we will still say that it is subject the SAO. That leaves
some uncertainty no matter what. If the applicant wants to sit down
and work something out with staff and come back to Council with
something more substantial, we will certainly listen.
The public hearing was opened at 8:30 p.m.
Gary Gault, project manager, explained the project at Foster High
School. The area where the portables are to be moved falls within the
description of a sensitive area. The portables will be in place only
temporarily until the completion of construction of the new high
school, approximately December 15,1991. At this point, the district
has approximately 4 million dollars into this project. The portables will
be placed just north of the existing Showalter site, north of the
administration building.
Councilmember Hernandez asked if all permits were applied for prior
to the moratorium. Mr. Gault responded that the process started over
a year ago but the permit review began after the moratorium was in
effect. At that time, it was not realized that the site was within the
Parcel G (sensitive area) zone. The sloping area on the site will not be
touched.
Mayor VanDusen closed the public hearing at 8:40 p.m.

APPENDIX B
4640 South 144th Street, Tukwila
Develop Foster High School and
Showalter Middle School properties
to provide for a new high school
and placement of temporary
buildings.
A portion of the property lies in a sensitive area due to slopes
greater than 25 %. The moratorium would prevent the entire
property from being redeveloped.
The South Central School District is well on its way in preparing
to construct a new building for Foster High School. During the
construction period, Foster students will be accomodated in
temporary classrooms at Showalter Middle School. Additionally,
the project includes a parking lot expansion at Showalter. The
project design was approved by the Planning Commission earlier in
the year. Demolition and grade and fill permits have already
been approved, as has temporary erosion control for the new
Foster site. ( The Foster site is over 1000' from the sensitive
area occurred only on an adfacent property not on the subject
parcel) Building, storm drainage, sewer, water and house moving .
permits have already been applied for.

A portion of the parcel which will be used to locate temporary
structures during construction lies in a sensitive area due to
slopes of approximately 25%. The sloping area itself would not be
touched since the temporary classrooms would be approximately 100
feet away. The temporary structures will provide addtional runoff
to the sloping parcel immediately to the northeast. The
Foster /Showalter development as currently planned will neither
affect, nor be affected by the sloping portion of the property
The area to the northeast and northwest contains the playing
fields and will be left in its current state.
The draft Sensitive Areas Ordinance establishes performance
standards to preserve hillsides. The standards are more strict
as the slopes of the property increase.
