MMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING M I N U T E S CALL TO ORDER Council President Van Dusen called the Tukwila City Council Committee of the Whole Meeting to order. ROLL CALL OF BOHRER, HARRIS, HILL, JOHANSON, SAIL VAN OUSEN. COUNCIL MEMBERS APPROVAL OF MINUTES MOVED BY SAUL, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE MUTES OF THE MACH 13, 1978 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING BE APPROVED AS PUBLISHED. CARRIED. DISCUSSION V Review of Ord. Section 4 Council .Chambers #x1035, Kjell Stoknes, OCD Director, said Administration had been requested to suggest alternatives to the wording nF Section 4 of Ordinance No. 1035. Alternative 1 would eliminate Section 4 entirely and consi- der any request for a waiver with whatever amount of detail the • applicant submits. Mr. Stoknes commented that it was his feeling that opening the procedures to this degree would encourage a great number of waiver requests and consume an extraordinary amount of City Council time. Also, applicants would not clearly know what level of information the City Council would need in order to get the decision rendered. Alternative 2 suggests the City shall process a preliminary and a final waiver application through the City Council. These procedures shall be: (A) Preliminary Waiver Application: An applicant may make a preliminary waiver application to the City for determination if the project is basically consistent with the waiver cri teri a in Section 5 of the Ordinance. The City Administration shall not process a preliminary waiver application nor place it on the City Council Agenda until such time as an applicant has submitted a site plan showing the location of the property, building location, parking location, setbacks, and the amount of grading necessary to accomplish the development. In additiona, exterior elevations of the buildings are to be graphically shown and specify.the types of materials to be . used on the exterioe finish of the building. Tentative approval of the City Council at this stage does not commit the Council to approval of the final waiver application if there is any deviation from the information and plans submitted with the preliminary application .request. (B) Final Waiver Application. The City shall not process any final waiver application until such time as a complete application for the applicable permit has been received, including compliance • with the State Environmental.Policy Act. Alternative 3 proposes the City shall not process any waiver until an applicant has submitted the following.information: (A) A site plan showing at a minimum the building location, parking area configuration, access points, landscaping areas, and the amount of necessary grading involved. (B) Renderings of the proposed structure showing the height, width, and exterior finish. (C) A completed waiver application form completely filled in and signed by the applicant_ (D) A $100 waiver fee to cover administration costs. No waiver application is to be scheduled on the City Council Agenda by administration unless the above items are first satisfactorily subrnitt:ed to the City Admin- istration. • Alternative 4 suggests leaving Section 4 as it is and leave applicants the choice of applying for a waiver or an amendment to the Comprehen- sive Plan Map. This alternative would encourage applicants to apply for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan rather than a waiver since it would be less costly ($200 application fee). A grant of a waiver has the net effect of giving a change to the Comprehensive Plan. Alternative 5 would develop a resolution directing applicants for Comprehensive Plan amendments be placed before the Planning Commission at public hearings during only two meetings every year For example, their regular meeting in March and October. Consideration could even be given to reducing or eliminating the $200 fee if this procedure were adopted. rage c DISCUSSION - Contd. Review of Ord. #1035, Section 4 - contd. Utilization of Old City Hall After a brief discussion the Council Members agreed they favored Alternative 2. Councilman Bohrer said when the Council passed Ordi ante to. 1035 they thought they were trying to make it difficult fo waivers to be granted so they would not be flooded. He asked about the status of the zoning ordinance. hlr. Stoknes said the Planning Commission will be reviewing it in April and it is likely that it w be September 1978 before the Council will see it. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT ALTERNATIVE 2 BE STREAMLINED STAFF AND AN ORDINANCE PREPARED FOR PRESENTATION AT THE NEXT REGULA COUNCIL MEETING ON APRIL 3, 1978. CARRIED. Council President Van Dusen said there were four things suggested f the old City Hall at the'Public Meeting on March 22. They were: library, show cases for museum, senior citizen center, American Leg meetings. Councilman Johanson said he was curious as to the probab area the Senior Citizens would need. Mayor Bauch said if the old City Hall was used for the Senior Citizens they would be abandoning the Tukwila Community Hall and they would have to have a kitchen an dining facilities. Councilman Hill asked about the intended use of the old Police Station. Mayor Bauch said the plans that had been made were that the second story would be used for recreation and storage of recreational equipment. The first floor would be meetir rooms for the teenagers of the City. Councilman Harris asked about the state of the Thorndyke Community Center. Mayor Bauch said acti is pending, King County is having to decide if they are going to allow any more building. If we went in with them and then pulled out they would be left with a facility they would have to support. Mayor Bauch said he discusses the matter with the County about once a month. Council President Van Dusen asked if the youth center in the Police Building would take all of the second floor. Mayor Bauc said the upstairs is not usable for Senior Citizens as they mould not be able to get up the stairs. He said this City has a commitmE to the youth. With the facility the way it is you can put up bad- minton, basketball, etc., for sports. It will also be ideal for street dances. Mayor Bauch said this is an interim use for the building, a commitment has been made to the neighborhood that the building will be torn down. Therefore, it is not desirable to sper money on the building. Councilman Bohrer said he was not familiar with the activities of the Senior Citizens, but he understood they would need kitchen facilities. Some of their meetings do not involve food, so the meeting rooms would be available if they chose; to meet in this building. Mayor Bauch said they have a pot luck meal once a month. They need a place to prepare food and eat. Sometimes they meet and park and then go elsewhere or they have a speaker. Kjell Stoknes, OCD Director, said thought might be given to the new City Hall. The Senior Citizens could use.the Council Chambers. Mayor Bauch said the small lunch room at the new City Hall would not be adequate even though it would be at ground leve It will seat only 12 people and will have three tables. Mayor Bauc said there may be facilities for a.library and Senior Citizen cent( in the old City Hall when we are sure of what they want. Ellen Harding, audience, said she was not in favor of using the old City Hall as a library as this places two King County libraries in clos( proximity. Council President Van Dusen asked if we want a library in this building. If we do not, it would solve the problems. We need to a t the construction of the building to see if it will hold books. Mayor Bauch said he had looked under the buildin! and the most it would need would be a beam don the middle. He said the King County Library has interest in the building as the next day after the meeting two people were here looking over the building. Mayor Bauch said the City pays $27,000 a year for the library services from King County. Councilman Harris said she hati to think Tukwila would be the only City in King County without a library - the City has waited a long time for a.library. Ellen Harding, audience, said money -wise it is not sensible, because the are libraries in Foster and Renton and people in Tukwila can borro books there for a $5.00 fee. Councilman Johanson said the first thing we will do when the move to the new City Hall is made will b, to make the modifications and restore the building to its original state.
