PLANNING DEPARTMENT
The Tukwila Planning Commission, at it's regular meeting of
17 May 1973, completed action in regard to a request by
Seattle City Light to rezone, from RA to CM, approximately
46 acres of land immediately south of Southcenter.
The Planning Commission opened the public hearing of this
matter on 20 July 1972. At that time, the public hearing
was recessed to allow Seattle City Light and the City of
Tukwila to negotiate with regard to the development of
Andover Park West and possible dedication of land for public
facilities.
At the Commission's regular meeting of 21 September 1972
further discussion was heard in which the fact came out that
Seattle City Light had not firmly agreed on any of the items
which were to be negotiated. It was further noted that the
Comprehensive Park Plan as adopted by Ordinance #546
designated the triangular portion of land for development of
a fire station. Seattle City Light felt that particular
portion of land to be worth $200,000 in accordance with an
appraisal made in behalf of Seattle City Light. At this
time the public hearing was closed and any action on the
request was again deferred until such time as an agreement
has been reached between the City and Seattle City Light
regarding dedication of street right -of -way, L.I.D.
participation, application of Andover ACC covenants, and
dedication of fire station site.
At the Commission's regular meeting of 21 December 1972 a
written proposal was submitted to the Commission by Seattle
City Light in regard to the negotiations previously held
with the City staff. A copy of that letter is attached to
President, City Council Page 2
the minutes of the 21 December meeting and enclosed herewith.
Due to the fact the Comprehensive Land -Use Plan, adopted
in 1967, designated this land for Public Facilities it was
felt by staff that a thorough study be completed before
any changes be made in regard to Public Facilities. After
lengthy discussion, the Commission tabled any action until
the problem of changing the Comprehensive Land -Use Plan
was solved.
During the ensuing months, the Commission held several work
sessions to review the Comprehensive Land -Use Plan. As part
of this study, a thorough research of City ordinances
annexing and zoning land within the City was made. This
study revealed the fact that the Seattle City Light property
had never been zoned P.F., but rather had remained legally
zoned R.A. since the initial zoning ordinance had been
adopted by the City.
Further discussions during Commission work sessions led to
the determination that the City, if it desires so at some
time in the future, may purchase any portion of this or
any other property regardless of the actual zoning.
At the Commission's regular meeting held 17 May 1973 it was
noted the public hearing had been closed in September 1972
and that discussion of alternatives was in order. The
Commission felt that granting of the rezone request should be
dependent upon street right -of -way dedication to include
necessary easements and participation by Seattle City Light
in any L.I.D. arranged for public improvements.
Mr. Barney Hagelend, representing Seattle City Light, stated
that City Light would not agree to participation in any L.I.D.
until City Light had had an opportunity to review the cost
estimates and distribution of assessments. Mr. Harrison
of the Planning Commission pointed out that the legal procedure
for initiating an L.T.D. provides for the refusal by any
party to participate, in which case the matter is settled
in court. Thus, the City of Tukwila, in rezoning the land,
can apply the condition of participation in an L.I.D. (which
is assumed to contain equitable distribution of assessments)
and City Light may still have the opportunity to refuse.
Mr. Harrison further pointed out that it appears that the
terms "a fair and equitable distribution of assessments"
is what City Light is attempting to insure. Mr. Harrison
reiterated that the legal procedures for such assessments
provide for that insurance.
The Commission summarized the pertinent factors relative to
this request as follows:
President, City Council Page 3
1. That when this property was zoned RA in
1957, it was anticipated that the property
would be used as a utility substation; •
since that time, it has become obvious that
the installation of a substation on this
property is undesireable both from the
City's standpoint as well as 'the neighboring
commercial facilities.
2. This property is surrounded by CM zoning on
three sides and by CPR on the north across
Strander Boulevard.
3. The Comprehensive Land -Use Plan designated
this property for public facility use;
however, the City may purchase land for use
as public facilities at any time regardless
of zoning.
In consideration of the foregoing, it was the unanimous
decision of the Planning Commission to recommend to the City.
Council that this request for rezone.be granted subject to
the following conditions:
1. That Seattle City Light dedicate to the City
of Tukwila, without cost, necessary street
right -of -way as well as adjacent easements
for utilities.
2. That Seattle City Light agree, to pay its'
equitable share of the cost of public improve-
ments in connection with the .construction of
the street and utilities.
That Seattle City Light enter into a con-
tractual Developer's Agreement, to run with
the land, certifying agreement to these
conditions,

OLD BUSINESS
-attle City Light - Rezone
Del Moss, Planning Coordinator, gave background of this
matter and brought Commission up to date since the Public
Hearing for this matter was closed on 21 September 1972.
The City and the applicant have been engaged in negotiations
regarding the future development of Andover Park West.
Mr. Moss also referred to Staff Comments (attached).
Mr. Barney Hageland, Seattle City Light, stated that City
Light has tentatively agreed to participate in the L,I.D.
for Andover Park West. Also stated that City Light desires
to withhold agreement to participate in L.I,D, until they
have reviewed distribution of assessments as well as cost
figures for actual construction of Andover Park West.
Discussion among Commissioners as to necessity of withholding
action on the request until Seattle City Light has firmly
agreed to the L.T.D. Mr. Harrison pointed out that agreement
to the L.I.D. is a legal matter to be handled separately
from the zoning request in respect to reviewing to insure a
fair and equitable assessment.
Motion by Mr. Harrison, seconded by Mr. Zepp and carried to
recommend to the City Council that this application for
rezone to CM be granted subject to the following conditions:
2
1. That Seattle City Light dedicate to the City
of Tukwila, without cost, necessary street
right -of -way as well as adjacent easements
for utilities.
2. That Seattle City Light agree to pay its'
equitable share of the cost of public improves
mentsin connection with the construction of
the street and utilities.
3. That Seattle City Light enter into a con-
tractual Developer's Agreement, to run with
the land, certifying agreement to these
conditions.
Burlington Northern (Glacier Park) - Rezone
Mr. Moss informed the Commission that staff was still working
on zone revisions which is directly related to this request.
Thus, staff requested Commission table this matter until the
next regular monthly meeting. Upon agreement by the Com-
missioners, Chairman Mettler tabled the matter as requested.
CM Zone Revisions
Mr. Moss reiterated the fact that staff was still in process
of completing this task. Thus, upon general consensus of
the Commission, this matter was tabled until the next
regular meeting.
Slade Way - Rezone
Re- advertisement, from R-1 and R -4 to RMH, was read and
Chairman Mettler opened the Public Hearing.
Gary Mix, Puget Western, Inc., displayed drawings and pre-
liminary site plan of a possible high density apartment
complex which included several seventy or eighty foot high
buildings. Explained that part of the total site was already
zoned RMH and that Puget Western merely requests the remainder
of the parcel be zoned the same so as to allow utilization
of the total site.
Mr. George Leeds, 5207 So. 164th, suggested that if application
is granted it should include the requirement for sidewalks
along Slade Way due to the anticipated increase in traffic,
Mrs. Darlene West, 5212 So. 164th, objected to the request
due to historically unstable soils and felt any development
would be detrimental to the aesthetic quality of that
B. Deny the request.

particular area as well as downgrade the neighborhood.
Mrs. Ann Crain, 5605 So. 163rd Place, asked if the property
was to be developed by Puget Western or merely sold to
someone who will develop it.
Mr. Mix stated that Puget Western anticipated selling the
property and working very closely with the developer to
ensure a development of high quality.
Mrs. Pat VanDoren, 5165 So. 160th, also objected to the
request and reiterated those reasons stated by Mrs. West.
Chairman Mettler asked if there was anyone else who wished
to speak in regard to this matter. No one rose. Motion by
Mr. Harrison, seconded by Mr. Lamb and carried to close the
Public Hearing.
Discussion among Commission as to slope percentage and extent
of construction in regard to retaining walls, etc. Mrs. Harris
quoted portions of a report made by the King County Environ-
mental Development Commission regarding developments on
slopes. Mr. Moss stated that a detailed Environmental Impact
Statement would be required prior to any development on this
property. Mr. Harrison stated he has heard no solid reason
why the request should be granted and that the property is
useable as R -4 especially considering the fact that no detailed
plans have been committed for the site. Mr. Harrison out-
lined the possible alternatives available to the Commission as
follows:
A. Grant the request and apply development con-
ditions to the total parcel.
Upon further discussion, the Commission felt the land
requested for rezone to RMH is useable as presently zoned, that
the existing zone provided a necessary 'buffer zone' between
the adjacent single - family residential area and that portion of
land already zoned RMH and in light of considerable protest
by neighboring property owners the request was not justified.
Motion by Mr. Saul, seconded by Mrs. Harris and carried to
deny the request by Puget Western to rezone the Slade Way
property from R -1 and R -4 to RMH.
Chairman Mettler advised the applicant of his right to appeal
the Commissions decision to the City Council.
Comprehensive Plan Review
Mr. Moss briefly brought the Commission up to date on this
matter and reminded the Commission that another work meeting
should be scheduled. Chairman Mettler agreed to set a date
at the end of this meeting.
Underground Utilities Comprehensive Plan
Mr. Moss referred to Staff comments and the Commission
agreed to table this matter until the next regular meeting.
Wimmer - Rezone
Staff read re- advertisement and Chairman Mettler opened the
Public Hearing. Mr. Moss briefly explained request for rezone
from RMH to C -1 and drawing showing that the applicant
owns two parcels and is contract purchaser on the third.
Mr. Tom Wimmer, 7756 Seward Park Avenue South, Seattle,
explained drawings and history of zoning. Noted that former
E -R -O zone, which included a 150 -foot strip of land along
Southcenter Bouelvard extending from Macadam Road to 62nd
Avenue South, was rezoned by the City to C -1 some years ago.
In connection with construction of the Freeway the State
realigned 62nd Avenue South, by placing the intersection
farther east. The old 62nd Avenue right -of -way was vacated
back to the abutting property owners. Prior to relocation
and subsequent vacation of the old right -of -way, the land
west of 62nd Avenue was zoned C -1 while that land east of 62nd
Avenue was zoned RMH. Upon vacation of the old right -of -way,
the west half was returned to the abutting property owner to
the west and automatically received same zoning as that land to
which it was added. The east half was vacated to the abutting
•
property owner to the east and automatically recieved RMH
zoning. This zoning has stayed that way since. Mr. Wimmer
now desires to develop his commercially zoned property,
but feels with the purchase of additional land, if properly
zoned, he could ensure a more environmentally aesthetic
development.
Mr. Hammons, co -owner of the property, stated the obvious
intent of the Commission years ago was to provide commercial
land between Macadam Road and 162nd Avenue South. Since the
relocation of 62nd Avenue farther east, leaving a small
portion of land zoned RMH between Macadam Road and 62nd
Avenue, this request is within the intent of the original
zoning and would allow them to enhance the development of
the property.
Chairman Mettler noted there was no one present to speak
against the request.

Motion by Mr. Harrison seconded by Mr. Link and carried to
close the Public Hearing,
Mr. Sneva clarified the fact that the total of all the parcels
would be accessible only from 62nd Avenue South.
Mr. Harrison asked if there were any specific development
plans for a particular development, Mr. Wimmer stated they
intend to develop the property as shown in the drawing
attached to the application.
Discussion by Commission of the facts pertinent to this
matter included the relocation and subsequent vacation of
62nd Avenue South creating a small portion of land zoned
RMH, that part of the total development site was zoned C -1
and the other part RMH, that the overall development of
the total site would be of much better quality, and that
by rezoning the RMH portion the Commission could apply the
condition of review of all plans.
Motion by Mr. Lamb and seconded by Mr. Link to recommend to
the City Council that that property legally described within
the application and generally located at the northwest corner
of the intersection of 62nd Avenue South and Southcenter
Boulevard be rezoned from RMH•to C -1 subject to the following
conditions:
1. That no portion of the development have
access from Southcenter Boulevard.
2. That no service station of any type be erected.
3. That all plans, to include site, elevations,
grading, landscape and signing, be submitted
to the Planning Commission for review and
approval,
Motion carried with Mr. Saul and Mrs, Harris voting no,
Zoning Map Discrepancies
Mr. Moss explained to the Commission that during research in
regard to the Comprehensive Plan Study Review that the Staff
had discovered several discrepancies between the zoning map
prepared by Hill, Ingman, Chase Engineers, and the ordinances
regarding the same parcel of land. Further explained that
some parcels, depicted on the zoning map as an R -3 zone or
an M -1 zone, had never even been zoned by ordinance. The map,
used as an immediate guide to giving helpful zoning information,
PUBLIC HEARINGS

is erroneous and misleading. Thus, the staff has advertised
Public Hearings for all the discrepancies (general discription
of each to be attached to these minutes for reference purposes)
and all property owners have been notified of the hearings
as well as posting each property as such. Explained to the
Commission that they are being asked to consider the appro-
priateness, in each case, of a rezone from the existing
classification for each property to the zoning classification
as applied by the erroneous zoning map.
Area 41: Staff read advertisement and Chairman Mettler
opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. K. C. Hoeft, David Jensen Associates,, explained that his
employer had purchased . the property under the impression of
M -1 zoning as depicted on the City's zoning map,
Dick Hansen, Senior Planner, explained that his research
revealed that upon annexation of the property in 1967 under
Ordinance #478, should have been zoned R -1 -12.0 in accordance
with Section 18.08.020 of the Tukwila Municipal Code. In
actuality, the property never received any legal zoning; the
map was changed at some date after annexation to reflect an
M -1 classification. There is no ordinance classifying that
parcel of land as such and it is therefore zoned R -1 -12.0 in
accordance with Section 18.08.020, unless the Commission
desires to recommend reclassification to M -1, This would seem
appropriate as this parcel is completely surrounded by M -1
classified land and is anticipated for that use. However, if
the Commission recommends rezone to M -1, it should also
apply those conditions applied to the abutting M - land under
the same ownership.
Discussion by Commission. Due to reasons stated by Mr, Hoeft
and Mr. Hansen (Staff) motion by Saul, seconded by Mr.
Harrison and carried to close the Public Hearing. Motion by
Mr. Saul, seconded by Mr. Harrision and carried to recommend
to the City Council that Area #1 be rezoned from R -1 -12.0 to
M -1 subject to the landowner entering into a contractual
Developer's Agreement with the City of Tukwila to include
all those conditions as set forth in Ordinance #743.
Area #2: Due to the fact the landowner was not present the
Commission agreed to table this matter until 24 May 1973
7
Area #3: Staff read advertisement and Chairman Mettler opened
the Public Hearing. Mr. Tom Kelly, 505 Arctic Building,
Seattle, representing Mr. John Strander, owner of the property
referred to as Area #3, explained that Ordinance #477 of the
City of Tukwila annexed said property. He also gave
the Commission, for it's records, a copy of the Building Permit
for the building and the sign, as well as a copy of Ordinance
#477 showing that the building and business were established
prior to annexation.
Due to reasons as stated, motion by Mr, Harrison, seconded by
Mr. Lamb and carried to close the Public Hearing. Motion
by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. Harrison and carried to recommend
to the City Council that Area #3 be rezoned from R -1 -12.0
to C -2 in conformance with the Comprehensive Land -Use
Plan.
Area #4: Due to the fact the property owner was not present,
Commission agreed to postpone the Public Hearing until
24 May 1973.
Area #5: Staff read advertisement and Chairman Mettler
opened the Public Hearing.
Edith Halbert, 14726 Macadam Road, and Mr. Bud Scherler of the
Lynden Lea Lodge both stated they had received correspondence,
in 1960 or 1961, notifying them that their land had been zoned
R -3. Also that they have been paying taxes according to that
zone for a number of years. The Tukwila Babtist Church
Pastor also recalled that one property owner within this area
applied for a rezone from R -3 to RMH a few years back. It
was denied and told that it would remain R -3. This would seem
rather explicit to the property owner. In addition, the
Church must be located within a residential zone.
Motion by Mr. Sneva, seconded by Mr. Saul and carried to
close the Public Hearing.
In consideration of the foregoing statements by the property
owners, it was moved by Mr. Sneva, seconded by Mr. Harrison
and carried to recommend to the City Council that Area #5 be
rezoned from R -1 -7.2 to R -3 in conformance with the Compre-
hansive Land -Use Plan.
Area #6: Due to the fact the property owner was not present,
the Commission agreed to postpone this item until 24 May 1973.
Area #7: Staff read advertisement and Chairman Mettler
opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. John Sullivan, 65th Avenue South, stated he bought the
property under the impression of R -3 zoning.
Staff noted at this time that Mr. Carl McDaniel, 6420
So. 153rd, had contacted the Planning Department on 15 May 1973
and explained that he would not be able to attend the hearing
due to previously arranged plans. However, he requested that,
if the other property owners within this particular area
desire the R -3 zone as opposed to R -1, the Public Hearing be
recessed until such time as he has had a chance to discuss the
zoning with his neighbors.
Due to the fact this hearing is not felt to be of a critical
nature and need not be acted upon with finality, it was moved
by Mr. Zepp, seconded by Mrs. Harris and carried to recess the
Public Hearing until 24 May 1973.
Area #.8: At the request of Mr. Herbert Lamb, speaking for the
other three property owners, the Commission tabled this Public
Hearing until 21 June 1973.
Area #9: Staff read advertisement and Chairman Mettler
opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Frank Alberti, representing the property owners, explained
that most of the property owners had believed they had RMH
zoning and went on to show the logic of RMH for this land
due to the surrounding zoning, existing sewers, access to
freeways, etc.
Mr. John L. Barnes, 51st Avenue South, explained that at the
time of annexation he was given the impression of RMH zoning
and when the State bought some of his property for the freeway
right -of -way they paid for RMH zoning after a court battle.
Also stated that he has been paying taxes on RMH zoning.
Motion by Mr. Lamb, seconded by Mr. Saul and carried to close
the Public Hearing.
In' consideration of the foregoing, it was moved by Mr. Zepp,
seconded by Mr. Harrison and carried to recommend to the City
Council that Area #9 be rezoned from R -1 to RMH in compliance
with the Comprehensive Land -Use Plan.
Area #10: Staff read advertisement and Chairman Mettler
opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Gary Mix, Puget Western, stated that Puget Western had
always been under the impression the property was zoned R -4.
Further stated it made no sense to leave a small portion of
their property zoned R -1 and unuseable even for parking.
Mrs. Pat VanDoren, an adjacent property owner, objected as
she would rather see this land remain in a natural state.
Mrs. Darlene West, also an adjacent property owner, reiterated
Mrs. VanDoren's comments.
Motion by Mr. Zepp, seconded by Mr. Lamb and carried to close
the Public Hearing.
In consideration of the foregoing and realizing the hazardous
condition of 54th Avenue South and Slade Way, it was moved by
Mr. Harrison and seconded by Mr. Lamb to recommend to the City
Council that Area #10 be rezoned from R -1 to R -4 in compliance
with the Comprehensive Land -Use Plan and subject to the
condition that no access or egress be provided from Slade Way
for any development of this site. Motion carried with Mrs.
Harris voting no.
Area #11: Staff read advertisement and Chairman Mettler
opened the Public Hearing.
,v.
No one was present to speak for or against the request.
It was noted that this identical land area had been recommended
for rezone only a few hours earlier and that this hearing is
unnecessary.
Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. Saul and carried to close
the Public Hearing.
Motion by Mr. Sneva, seconded by Mr. Lamb and carried to take
no action regarding this matter due to action taken earlier
as Item A of Old Business - Seattle City Light Rezone.
BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
Sign Review - Bon Marche Distribution Center
Staff submitted letter from Bon Marche Distribution Center
requesting they be allowed to install two signs (40 square feet
each) within the landscape strip adjacent to Southcenter
- 10 -
Parkway. Staff displayed photographs of the proposed signs
and placement of said signs.
Staff then displayed slides of existing signing for this
facility. Noted that the existing freestanding sign more than
adequately identifies the facility not only as the "Bon Marche"
but also as their "Retail Warehouse Sales" facility, which is
basically what the proposed signs would display.
In consideration of the foregoing, it was moved by Mrs. Harris,
seconded by Mr. Saul and carried to deny the request. Mr.
Harrison abstained from voting on this matter due to business
ties.
Site Plan Review - Cabot, Cabot & Forbes Building #2
Staff displayed plans for Building #2 and noted that the
Andover ACC has approved them.
Discussion by Commission led to motion by Mrs. Harris, seconded
by Mr. Saul and carried to approve the plans submitted subject
to the following:
1. Technical review of all plans by the appro-
priate City officials.
2. That final plan for landscaping and signing
be submitted for review and approval of the
B.A.R.
Landscape Plans - Cabot, Cabot & Forbes
Staff displayed a Master Plan generally showing the intention
of Cabot, Cabot & Forbes in regard to landscaping of their
total land area. Also submitted final plans for Buildings #1
and #2.
Motion by Mrs. Harris, seconded by Mr. Saul and carried to
approve the Master Plan and final plans for Buildings #1
and #2 subject to the following:
1. That all plans be subject to technical review
by appropriate City officials.
2. That a six (6) foot wide sidewalk be provided

Minutes of the Meeting, 21 December 1972
The regular meeting of the Tukwila Planning Commission was called to
order by Vice -- Chairman Mettler at 8:12 p.m. Members present were:
Mr. West, Mr. Link, Mr. Sneva, Mr. Zepp and Mr. Johanson.
Vice - Chairman Mettler called for approval of the minutes of the

OLD BUSINESS:
Rezone - Seattle City Light
Mr. Moss, Planning Coordinator, read letter from City Light Superin-
tendent offering a proposal which would complete negotiations between
City Light and Tukwila in regard to this rezone application. (A copy
of that letter is to be attached to these minutes for reference
purposes.)
Mr. Moss further explained that since the Comprehensive Plan designates
this particular portion of land as Public Facilities land use, the
Comprehensive Plan must be changed to designate this land as Industrial
land use in order to subsequently rezone from PF to CM.
Discussion followed regarding the legal requirements of a change in
the Comprehensive Plan. Also the requirement of an Environmental
Impact Statement, in compliance with State Environmental Policy Act
of 1971, for the proposed change in land use.
Mr. Hageland, Seattle.City Light, stated the 90-day review period
required for Environmental Impact Statements would not be adverse
to City Light. Further stated that item #3 of the referenced letter
could be deleted from the proposal if ''required by previous City
standards.
Mr. Johanson raised the possibility of holding one Public Hearing and
changing the Comprehensive Plan in regard to the rezone application
as well as changing the Comprehensive Plan as it relates to the Civic
Center proposed in the plan, due to the fact both changes would
affect the same general land area.
Mr. Moss stated he felt any proposed change of the Comprehensive Plan
in regard to a Civic Center would require a thorough study and report
by the Commission to substantiate any subsequent change of the Plan.
Further discussion of these two points followed.
Motion by Mr. Kirsop, seconded by Mr. Link and carried to table any
final action on the rezone application until such time as the State
Environmental Policy Act has been satisfactorily complied with and
staff was directed to set date for Public Hearing in order to change
the Comprehensive Plan.
Rezone — Burlington Northern (Glacier Park)
Mr. Moss explained that staff was coordinating with the Renton Planning
Department in regard to this rezone. Also staff is in process of
formulating revisions of the present industrial and commercial zones
within the City and these are to be completed prior to any action on
this rezone. Commission asked to have these revisions ready for
review at next regular meeting.
NEW BUSINESS:
Variance — Pacific Northwest Bell
Public Hearing opened by Vice — Chairman Mettler. Mr. Moss read letter
requesting variance.
Mr. Burl L. Wilson, Pacific Northwest Bell, stated they are in contact
with Teleprompter Cable T.V. and will be in contact with the power
companies in order to formulate a workable plan for future undergrounding.
No one was present to speak against the request.
Motion.by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. West and carried to close the
Public Hearing.
Motion by Mr. Sneva, seconded by Mr. Zepp and carried to grant a
variance from Tukwila Underground Utilities Ordinance #486, subject
to the following conditions:
1. That a Comprehensive Plan, establishing a plan
for the undergrounding of utilities within the
City, be submitted before the third Thursday of
March 1973.
2. That this variance expires one (1) year from
original deadline date set forth in Ordinance #486.
Rezone — Puget Western, Inc.
It was noted that staff failed to have posted the 4' x 8' REZONE sign
customarily used. It was agreed, by the applicant, to postpone the
Public Hearing of this matter until the next regular meeting so as
to offer thorough notice to the general public. Staff was directed to
re— advertise the hearing for 18 January 1973.
Review of Comprehensive Plan
The Commission was informed by staff the City Council had passed a
motion at their meeting of the 18th, directing the Planning Commission
to "look into the Comprehensive Plan especially in regard to the
City Hall portion." Mr. Moss further stated any changes required
Public Hearings, and a thorough review should be completed before
any changes are made.
Discussion regarding the possibility of holding one Public Hearing
for both the rezone of City Light's property and the City Hall portion
of the Comprehensive Plan, as both actions would affect the same
general land area.
Mr. Moss stated the PSGC and RIBCO interim regional land —use plans
are now being formulated and designate all land south of Southcenter
as agricultural open — space. This is not only in conflict with the
Comprehensive Plan but completely contrary to existing land —use.
Due to the fact PSGC is the regional governing agency and has review
powers, through the A -95 review process required of all projects
applying for financial assistance, our Comprehensive Plan should be

OLD BUSINESS
Recessed Public Hearing - Seattle City Light Rezone
Mr. Moss, Planning Coordinator, brought the Commission up to date
concerning this request. An appraisal of the property, made in
behalf of City Light, has been received by the City and reflects
CM zoning. Stated that City Light has verbally agreed to partici-
pate in the L.I.D. cost of development of Andover Park West.
Mr. Barney Hageland, Seattle City Light, reiterated the fact that
the surrounding properties are zoned CM. Also stated they have
not, as yet, taken any position on type of development or dedication
of right-of-way. Mr. Hageland also stated that City Light _Ilan
agree to participate in an L.I.D. for street development.
Mr. Sneva suggested the Andover ACC Covenants be applied to the
triangular portion of the rezone (that portion lying to the east
of Andover Park West).
Mr. M. E. Boys, President of Southcenter Corporation, pointed
out that CM zoning would allow developments directly across from
Southcenter that may be incompatible with the shopping center.
Motion by Mr. Mettler, seconded by Mrs. Harris and carried to
close the Public Hearing.
Question as to possibility of deeding the triangular portion of
the rezone to the City for a fire station (in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan).
Mr. Moss stated the City Light appraisal indicated that portion
of the land was worth $200,000. Also stated the Washington State
Utilities Commission has certain regulations governing and restricting
the operations of a public utility in this sense. Mr. Moss stated
the City does intend to comply with the Comprehensive Plan and
construct a fire station within the triangular portion.
Mayor Todd pointed out that Ordinance #546, dated 17 March 1969,
adopts the Comprehensive Park and. Recreational Plan in which the
triangular portion of land is designated a general area for develop-
ment of a fire station. Mayor Todd also suggested negotiations
be completed before the rezone is acted upon.
Motion by Mr. Kirsop, . seconded by Mr. Saul and carried to defer
any recommendation until an agreement has been reached between the
City and Seattle City Light regarding dedication of street right -of-
way, L.I.D. participation, application of Andover ACC Covenants,
and deeding of fire station site.
Landscape Maintenance Bond - Pro;]ects #186 and #193
Mr. Moss pointed out that the City ACC, on 4 October 1971, approved
the plans for #193 subject to a number of conditions, one of which
included the requirement of posting a bond to insure maintenance of
landscaping. As this bond has not, as yet, been required the
staff asked direction on the matter. It was also noted the Commission,
at past meetings, has had some questions regarding the requirement
of a bond. Mr. Moss also pointed out that at the work meeting of
14 September the Commission generally agreed that maintenance of
landscaping may possibly be better enforced if non - maintenance
was considered a misdemeanor.
Considerable discussion by the Commission as to which of the tools
would be most feasible. Staff was directed to address the City
Council for a decision on this matter.
CM Zone Revisions
Mr. Moss stated he will attempt to have some definite revisions
prepared for next months regular meeting as well as the sign
ordinance changes.
NEW BUSINESS
Rezone - Seattle First National Bank
Mr. Moss explained that parking requirements in the present CPR
zone were too restrictive for the kind of development proposed,
to wit: a three -story office building. CM zoning would allow the
development to combine its available parking area with that of the
bank next door to comply with the CM parking requirement.
Mr. Manson Bennett, Architect, displayed the site plan and parking
arrangement.
Mr. Maury Wright, Realty Officer for Seattle First, explained that
the existing bank facility is not utilizing its total floor area
and subsequently is not utilizing much of its parking area.
Mr. M. E. Boys, President of Southcenter Corporation, stated the
change of zoning would not affect the shopping center as the Cor-
poration sold the land with restrictive covenants as to use.
He recommended approval.
Motion by Mr. Kirsop, seconded by Mr. Sneva and carried to close
the Public Hearing.
Mr. Sneva asked if the development, as presented, was the only
development proposed for that land to be rezoned.
Mr. Bennett assured the Commission that if the rezone was granted,
only this facility would be constructed. Further stated that a
rezone was desired in favor of a variance from the CPR parking
requirement.
Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. Saul to recommend to the City
Council' approval of the petition for rezone.
At this point, Mr. Sneva pointed out that approval of the rezone
does not include approval, in any way, of the plans presented.
Mr. Kirsop stated he opposed the recommendation for approval in
favor of a variance from the CPR parking requirements.
Chairman Harrison asked for a roll -call vote on the motion. In
favor: Mr. Link, Mr. Saul, Mr. Mettler. Opposed: Mr. Sneva,
Mr. Kirsop and Mrs. Harris. Chairman Harrison cast the tie - breaking
vote in favor to carry the motion as stated.
Public Hearing - Kato Rezone
Mr. Moss explained that Mr. Tony Kato requests that his property
at 5916 Southcenter Boulevard be rezoned from R-3 to C -1 in order
to construct a restaurant. Stated also that the possibility of
widening Southcenter Boulevard will not be known exactly until the
Staff receives the TOPICS study from Stevens, Thompson, Runyan.
Mr. Larry Cannan, West & Wheeler real estate agent, spoke in behalf
of Mr. Kato and explained the proposed development.
The Commission discussed the previous VIP's rezone just west of the
Kato property and the agreement that was made in conjunction with
that rezone.
Motion by Mr. Mettler, seconded by Mr. Sneva and carried to close
the Public Hearing.
Considerable discussion followed concerning access, traffic cir—
culation, and development of street.
Motion by Mr. Saul, seconded by Mrs. Harris and carried to recommend
to the City Council approval of the petition for rezone subject to
the following conditions:
1. That land be provided for future public access
to the land to the North and East of subject
property, to eventually tie with 62nd Avenue South,
the exact location of right —of —way be mutually placed.
2. Provide left turn channelization and widening of
Southcenter Boulevard. Said widening shall provide
that the additional traffic lane be a minimum of
12 feet wide and 5 feet more for a future pedestrian
sidewalk. Said channelization and widening shall
be approved by the Director of Public Works and be
provided at no cost to the City.
3. All exposed slope cuts will be landscaped in accor—
dance with plans drawn by a qualified landscape
architect.
Provide storm sewer along Southcenter Boulevard
at no cost to the City.
That a street, meeting City standards, be developed
on the west property line in conjunction with the
landowner to the immediate west. This to be
approved by the Director of Public Works.
6. Agree to participate in any future L.I.A. for
traffic signalization along Southcenter Boulevard.
7. That a detailed definitive site plan displaying the
above conditions be approved by the City Council.
8. The north line of the new C -1 boundary be one
hundred (100) feet from the present C -1 zone north
boundary and run parallel to Southcenter Boulevard.
Public Hearing - Capps .Reaee(J/d gm/ANCE
Mr. Moss explained that Mr. Capps was requesting a variance from the
front yard setback requirement in order to construct a carport.
Mr. Fred Capps, 1L484 — 58th Avenue South, stated the present
driveway is at an excessive slope for safe use in inclement weather.
Also stated exhaust fumes from the automobile and fire potential
were hazards.
Brief discussion concerning setbacks of present neighboring houses,
size of Mr. Capps' lot, etc. led to a suggestion by Chairman
Harrison to observe the site at a future date before making any
decision.
Motion by Mr. Mettler, seconded by Mr. Kirsop and carried to close
the public hearing.
Motion by Mr. Kirsop, seconded by Mr. Mettler and carried to table
this matter until the next regular monthly meeting and to hold a
"Breakfast Meeting" at 9:00 A.M. Saturday, 7 October 1972 at VIP's
Restaurant in Tukwila in order to observe the specific site.

to be constructed between #186 and #214.
Mr. Moss explained that covenants had been received from McCann
Development Corporation and that more were forthcoming.
Mr. Jim Hoel, Fire Marshall, pointed out that the distance between
the three buildings, 113 feet, does not allow safe and guaranteed
access for fire safety vehicles due to the probability of 60 foot
trucks parking perpendicular to the buildings.
Extensive discussion regarding the provision of marked fire lanes
required by the Fire Department.
Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mrs. Harris and carried to approve
building #222 subject to the following conditions:

aloud.
Mr. Charles Branson, 321 Evergreen Building, Renton,
Attorney for the applicant, explained the proposal.
Also that since the original application'for a variance
to allow the construction to eighty feet, the possible
desire of building'to 120 feet if soils tests and
parking will allow, has been discussed but no definite
height has been reached as yet.
John Kinkella, 8808 Bridgeport Way, Tacoma architect

was for eighty feet.

McCann Project #214
Mr. Tom Sconzo, Manson Bennett and Associates, architect
of the project, briefly explained the drawing of the
proposal.
John Richards, Tukwila Building Official, pointed out
that the size of side yards required by the building code
encroaches upon the surrounding properties. On this
basis, Mr. Richards suggested modifying the side yards
to preclude encroachment upon surrounding properties, or
provide covenants providing for a sixty -foot setback.
Mr. Moss, Tukwila Planning Coordinator, pointed out the
lack of safety conditions provided by the right -angle
parking allowed in both the north and south ends of
the building. Persons would be backing directly into
a lane of traffic which would be used extensively by
trucks. Mr. Moss also suggested covenants be required,
to run with the land, ensuring the development remain
completely private.
Brief discussion by Commission.
Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. West and carried, to
approve the plan as submitted for Project #214 subject

According to our information this property was zoned PF (Public

question of the present zoning of this property was discussed.
The Department of Lighting indicated that the plans for the
construction of a large major substation at this location had been re-
vised and that the property should be rezoned to correspond with the
existing zoning of the lands adjoining the east, south and west margins
of the• Department's property.
Also, as the use and development of the land for a substation
facility would not be consistent with the present use and development
of adjoining lands, please consider this letter as the City of Seattle,
