M: Catherine Harris
Chairwoman
Ixr. Traynor then asked what the population would be if all the presently
zoned multiple dwelling were developed. Mr. Stoknes computed it would be 5,420
dwellers in 2,464 units. Right now we have 1,019 apartment units. Mr. Traynor
stated that if present multiple dwelling zoned land were developed there would be
more than twice the population of single - family zoned land, and rezoning the R -3
land to R -4 and RMH would increase this considerably more.
Mrs. Harris stated that if everything were zoned up to R -4 and R.1H, there
wouldn't be any R -3 left and wouldn't have a balanced community. I :Ir. Traynor
stated that according to the Data Report, that R -3 is way down to what'it should -
"Do in relationship to R -4 and R�IH.
/ Moved by Mr. Traynor, seconded by Mrs. Harris to recommend to the
Do Not Pass".
1. the comprehensive land use plan indicates multiple dwelling in
this area. This has been met in that the parcel is already zoned multiple - dwelling.
2. access is by one road, legally, only. Although traffic is
increased, accessibility is not,-thus traffic hazards would be increased.
3. safety from fire - not enough information to comment.
4. adequate light & air - no problems are foreseen.
5. overcrowding of land - the density of land would be from 50 units
and 110 people in R -3 to 120 units and 264 people in R -4, or approximately 2i times
on that parcel alone.
6. to secure an appropriate allotment of land area in new develop-
ments for all the requirements of community life - difficult to assess until a
site plan is presented.
7. to conserve and restore natural beauty and other natural
resources - difficult to assess and project.
b. in summation, the committee determined that the present zoning
provides the maximum density that the "hill" area should have and still maintain
its rural atmosphere.
Motion Carried.
3. Other - Mr. Moore presented a progress report on the committee being
formed for the Foster Golf Course bond issue. Mr. Frank Kriedler is chairman.
He also relayed, informally,. that .the Foster Pool is experiencing financial
difficulties, and additional methods of support are being explored.
There being no further business to bring before the committee„ the meeting
was adjourned.
COMMUNITY AFFAIRS & LEGISLATIVE COMP=
Tukwila City Council
M I N U T E S
The Community Affairs & Legislative Committee of the Tukwila City Council
was called to order by Chairwoman Harris at 5:45 p.m., October 15, 1975, at the
City Hall Annex, 6230 Southcenter Blvd., Tukwila, Wa.
Members Present: Mr. Dwayne Traynor, substituting for Mr. Jon Sterling
Mr. Dwight Gardner, substituting for Mrs. Joanne Davis
Mrs. Catherine Harris
Staff Present: Mr. Kjell Stoknes, Planning Director
Others: Mr. William Moore, Chairman, Park Commission
The following items of business were considered:
1. Proposed Resolution Defining the Tukwila Planning Area for Purposes of
Long Range Planning. - Mr. Stokness reviewed. the area; generally along Highway 99
south to So. 200th, east along 200th and then up to So. 180th, north along the
railroad tracks to So. 112th, and then west to 99. The committee reviewed the
map attached to the ordinance. The Planning Commission has approved the proposed
planning area. ?4r. Stoknes indicated the proposed area is logical, it is supported
through the Tukwila Data Inventory Report, and is a good planning area to work with
for a 10 to 20 year period. Mr. Traynor stated he felt it is basically a good
plan, with good "stopping points ".
Moved by Mr. Traynor, seconded by Mr. Gardner, to reccommend to the
Council "Do Pass" Motion Carried.
2. Proposed Ordinance Re- Classifying Certain Property from R -3 Zoning to
R-4 Zoning within the City of Tukwila; Applicant: Mr. Frank Todd. - The area for
which the rezone is requested is the same as the previous request for RMH and denied.
Mrs. Harris reviewed the Planning Commission recommended items. The committee then
reviewed the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the area; specifically from the Tukwila
School south to Southcenter Blvd. It indicated that the total:area is indicated to
be multiple dwelling. There is a mixture of existing R -1, R -3, R -4, with commercial
on Southcenter Blvd. The request is for a portion of R -4 out of a larger portion of
R -3.
The density of each zone was reviewed. The parcel for which the rezone
is requested is 2.5 acres. Under the existing zoning, R -3, 50 units could be
constructed; under R -4 zoning 120 units could be constructed. Also, the height
limit for R -3 is 35 feet; R -4 has a height limitation of 45 feet.
br. Gardner inquired about the interim policy with regard to rezones.
Mrs. Harris replied the Council approved the resolution on August 4, 1975; and
thought it was effective immediately upon passage. Mr. Stokness reminded the
committee that there was a clause making it effective 30 days after passage, and
it was upon this basis that the application was accepted.
Mrs. Harris indicated that the filing of the application by Mr. Todd on
August 4th, put the committee in a perdicament, because the resolution had been
PAGE 2
introduced at the Council on July 21, 1975. It was referred to this committee, and
on July 23, the committee considered the resolution, amended it, and brought it back
to the Council on August 4. It was approved as amended that evening. The perdica—
ment is that the applicant is also the Mayor, and in his official capacity as the
mayor was fully cognizant that this resolution had been introduced and was being
considered, and knew it was on the agenda for August 4.
Mr. Traynor asked Mrs. Harris if we were rezoning Mr. Todd's land, or are
we rezoning a piece of property. He stated he could have filed for one without
knowing of the policy. Mrs. Harris agreed with Mr. Traynor, stating that it is a
possibility that someone could, but Mr. Todd did know of the resolution.
Mrs. Harris further agreed with Mr. Traynor that the parcel of land is
very seriously to be considered, with the situation of the applicant also being the
mayor is secondary, but felt that the public is beoming increasingly conscious
and conducting so much more surveillance on the activities of their elected
officials, and this is sensitive.
Mr. Traynor stated that if the Council did rezone this to R- 4,,that he
would like to have a further condition added — that being, that construction be
started within a year, or the property would revert back to R -3.
Mrs. Harris stated that the committee should bear in mind that rezoning
land should be in the light of the health, safety and welfare of the community; that
a "rule of thumb" concept is to consider what a rezone does to or for the community.
R.C.W. 35.63.090 Restrictions— Purposes of. was read. It is:
"All regulations shall be worked out as parts of a comprehensive plan
which each commission shall prepare for the physical and other
generally advantageous development of the municipality and shall be
designated, amoung other things, to encourage the most appropriate
use of land throughout the municipality; to lessen traffic congestion
and accidents; to secure safety from fire; to provide adequate light
and air; to prevent overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration
of population; to promote a coordinated development of the unbuilt
areas; to encourage the formation of neighborhood or community units;
to secure an appropriate allotment of land area in new developments
for all the requirements of community life; to conserve and restore
natural beauty and other natural resources, to facilitate the adequate
provision of transportation, water sewerage and other public uses and
requirements."
She added that in applying that guidance to this particular rezone, the striking
parts are; to avoid undue concentration of population, to promote a coordinated
development of unbuilt areas, and to secure an appropriate allotment of land area
in new developments... . We have existing already quite a heavy development of
more dense apartment units on this south side of the hill. She felt that R -3
zoning is adequate, and did not feel it would be good for the community to have
more dense zoning, thaP what is undeveloped.
Mr. Traynor asked if staff had information indicating percentage of land
presently zoned R -3, R -4 and RI4H. Mr. Stores provided information from the
Tukwila Data Inventory which shows that most of the vacand undeveloped land in
these categories is R -4 and RMH.

Page 4
25 September 1975
Chairman Mettler excused himself from participation in this matter due to the
previous accusations by the City Council and his desire not to allow that kind
of thing to happen again. Vice - Chairman Kirsop assumed the chair.
Vice - Chairman Mettler opened the Public Hearing at 9:20 P.M. and Mr. Crutchfield
briefly described the proposed rezone and noted the public hearing has been duly
advertised and posted.
Mr. Frank Todd, 14446 - 59th Avenue South, applicant, stated it was unnecessary
for Chairman Mettler to step down since at no time during the previous application
was Mr. Mettler an employee of his nor affiliated in any way with Mr. Todd's .
interests. Also indicated Mr. Mettler does not have any ties at this time either.
Mr. Todd indicated he is anxious to develop the property and the previous applica-
tion which was denied by the Council covers all aspects of the 'rezone and cannot
add anything in support of the application.
No one was present to speak against the rezone request. Vice - Chairman Kirsop
closed the Public Hearing at 9:25 P.M.
Mr. Sneva and Mr. Link both asked if the conditions for approval suggested in
the Staff Report were the same as those suggested regarding the previous appli-
cation.
Mr. Stoknes, Director, stated they were somewhat briefer but carried the same
intent.
Mr. Todd stated he is fully in agreement with the stipulations suggested in the
Staff Report.
Motion by Mr. Sneva, seconded by Mr. Zepp and carried that based on the findings
and conclusions stated in the Staff Report the Commission recommend the City
Council approve the rezone from R -3 to R -4 subject to compliance with the following
stipulations:
1. That all utilities necessary to service any proposed development be
installed or a bond posted in an amount deemed adequate by the Director
• of Public Works, prior to issuance of building permit.
2. Dedication of the easterly five (5) feet of the property to the City
for right -of -way and the granting of a ten (10) foot easement for
utilities.
3. Any development must include the diversion of all storm water in a
manner approved by the Director of Public Works.
4. Agreement by the applicant to equitably participate in any local
improvement districts for the improvement of 62nd Avenue South or
any utilities therein.
5. The agreement shall run with the land and be binding on the property
owners, their heirs, successors and assigns.
Staff Report

10. Soils consist of till over bedrock generally providing a high bearing
capacity and a slight erosion hazard. (SEE, Environmental Assessment)
11. Vegetation is limited to blackberry bushes, a'few small trees and brush.
12. Residential uses allowed in the existing R -3 zone are generally limited
to fourplexes at a maximum density of 4 units per 9,600 square feet of
land area (gross) and maximum height of 35 feet.
13. Residential uses allowed in the requested R -4 zone are generally
limited to apartment buildings at a maximum density of one unit per
1,000 square feet of land area (gross) and maximum height of 45 feet.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The requested zone conforms to the current Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
2. The subject property is surrounded by multiple - family zoned land with
the exception of that land directly north which is currently zoned R -1
but indicated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map as ultimate: multiple -
family use.
3. Additional right -of -way should be required on 62nd Avenue South, to comply
with the minimum right -of -way requirement, at time of development.
4. Although utilities exist, the capacity of those utilities to adequately
serve a development on this site must be scrutinized at such time as a
development is proposed.
5. Without providing adequate storm drainage system, the increased storm
water runoff may cause erosion damage to those properties located south
of the subject site.
6. Using the maximum density restrictions of the R -3 zone, approximately
50 units could be constructed on the subject property. Under R -4
restrictions, approximately 120 units could be constructed. Thus, the
requested zone would allow a considerably more dense development to
take place on the subject property than would the current R -3 zone.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Commission adopt the findings and conclusions of the Staff
Report, or as revised by the Commission, as the basis for and as part of a
recommendation to the City Council that the requested rezone be approved provided
the applicant enter into a Property Use and Development Agreement including but
not limited to the following stipulations:
1. That all utilities necessary to service any proposed development
be installed or a bond posted in an amount deemed adequate by the
Director of Public Works, prior to issuance of building permit.

SUBJECT: Todd Rezone application
MEMORANDUM
CITY of TUKW1LA
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DATE: Sept. 29, 197!
On August 4, 1974, Mr. Frank Todd submitted a rezone application from
R -3 to R -4 on a certain property adjacent to and west of. 62nd Avenue
South at approximately South 153rd Street.
This matter was duly published and heard at a public hearing before
the Tukwila Planning Commission at a regular meeting on September 25,
1975. After that meeting, the. Tukwila Planning Commission did recommend
approval to the City Council. This approval was made subject to the
attached findings, conclusions and recommendations of the attached
Planning Commission recommendation dated 25 September 1975.
Please find attached with this memorandum the above referenced recommendation,
the environmental assessment on the property with the associated negative
declaration and the proposed ordinance.

A. THE PROPOSED ACTION:
SEPTEMBER 5, 1975
File No. MF-75--15-R
CITY OF TUKVWILA
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
REZONE
62nd Avenue (Todd)
This environmental assessment has been prepared to report on the potential
impact of a legislative action rezoning a certain property from R -3 to R -4.
1. The proposed legislation would change the zoning designation on a
certain property from R -3 to R -4.
2. Justification: This rezone application is justified since the
property and its general vicinity is in an area identified by the
Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Plan as potential multiple - family.
3. Location: The subject property is located west of and adjacent to
62nd Avenue South approximately 300' north of Southcenter Boulevard.
The legal description is as follows:
"That portion of Tract 11, Interurban addition to Seattle; according
to the Plat recorded in Volume 10 of Plats, page 55, in King County,
Washington, described as follows: Beginning at a point on the east .
line of Tract 11 which is 162.79' north of the southeast corner
thereof; thence continuing north 0° 8' west 359.88' to the northeast
corner of said Tract 11; thence south 89° 52' west along the north-
erly line thereof 300.86'; thence south 0 8' east 398.14'; thence
north 89° 52' east 141.65'; thence north 0° 8' west 38.26'; thence
north 89° 52' east 159.21' to the point of beginning."
4. Historical Background: The best information available indicates that
prior to December 23, 1957, there was no zoning map adopted within
the City of Tukwila and consequently the subject property is assumed
to have been zoned single- family. On December 23, 1957, a zoning
ordinance was adopted by Ordinance 11251, and in conjunction therewith,
a zoning map was adopted which created R -3 zoning on the subject
property. The Comprehensive Plan Map, as amended by Ordinance #484
on May 15, 1967, indicates all the area between Southcenter Boulevard .
and South 151st Street as multiple - family.
On October 24, 1974, the present applicant submitted a rezone appli-
cation on the sane property from R -3 to RMH. This request was favorably
recommended upon by the Planning Commission by a unanimous vote, however,
after considerable review by the City Council the Planning Commission
recommendation was over -ruled and the rezone application was denied on
July 7, 1975.
The present application for a rezone from R -3 to R -4 was submitted
on August 4, 1975.
The site plans submitted with the former application to RMH cannot
be considered as a part of this application since one of the principal
structures is shown as six stories. The R -4 zone requested in this
application allows a maximum of three stories. It is assumed that
the. development of the property will conform to the R -4 zoning limita-
tions should the rezone be granted. Any deviations, should the appli-
cant desire same, would have to follow normal channels with a request
applied for through the City's Board of Adjustment and duly granted.
5. Public Participation: Participation will be available to the public
as follows:
a. Advertised public hearing before the Tukwila Planning Commission
during their regular meeting of September 25, 1975.
b. Before the Tukwila City Council at a regular meeting as soon as
possible thereafter for its first reading.
c. After first reading by the Council, it will probably be placed
into the Community Affairs Committee and referred back to the
Council with a recommendation for final action. Both Committee
and Council deliberations are open to the public.
6. Relationship to Existing Laws, Policies and Plans: At the present
time the subject property and general vicinity is identified in the
Tukwila Comprehensive Plan as potential multiple - family zoning. This
is identified in map form and no policies and additional guidelines
are offered to indicate which degree of multiple - fancily the area of
this subject property should have, that is, R -2, R -3, R -4 or RMH.
In reading the chapter headings in the R -2 through the RMH zones in
the Tukwila Municipal Code, they read as follows:
a. R -2 district--Two-family dwellings.
b. R -3 district--Three and four - family dwellings.
c. R -4 district--Low apartments.
d. RMH district--Multiple residence high density.
Multiple - family, as identified in the Comprehensive Plan, could be
interpreted to be any of these above zoned categories.
7. Any Decisions Remaining Before Implementation of Legislation: At
this point the rezone application must go before the Tukwila Planning
Commission at an advertised public hearing. After a decision by the
Planning Commission, final disposition will be made before the Tukwila
City Council during a regular Council meeting.

B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
1. Zoning and Land Use:
a. Uses allowed in the R -3 zone, which the property is presently
zoned, include duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, convalescent and
nursing homes with not over 12 patients and boarding and lodging
houses with a maximum of 12 boarders. The maximum potential
density is RM 2400. Uses allowed in the R -4 zone includes apart-
ments, boarding and lodging houses, convalescent homes, convents
and private clubs, and schools.
Adjacent zoning is as follows:
1. R -4 to the east.
2. C -1 and R -3 to the south.
3. R -3 to the west.
4. R -3 and R -1 to the north.
Existing developments in the vincinity include an apartment complex
to the northeast, vacant land to the east, a single - family dwelling
to the south and one to the west, and vacant property to the north -
west and north portions adjacent to the property.
b. Zoning regulations in the R -4 zone in addition to the above are
as follows:
1. Height of buildings: 3 stories maximum and shall not exceed
45 feet in height. Height and stories are determined as follows:

2. Front yard setback: Fifteen percent of the depth of the lot,
but need not be more than 20 feet as long as the distance from
the centerline of the street to the building is not less than
45 feet. (18.18.040).
3. Side yard setbacks: There must be a side yard on each side of
every principal building with a minimum width of not less than
10 percent of the width of the lot. Such yard cannot be less than
four feet nor need be more than eight feet. If a structure is
over 35 feet high any side yard cannot be less than six feet.
(18.18.050).
4. Rear yard setback: Twenty -five percent of the depth of the lot
but need not be more than twenty -five feet. (18.18.060).
5. Parking: 11 parking spaces per apartment unit. (18.56.070).
6. Density: One apartment unit per 1,000 square feet of land area.
Reference should be made to the land use map adjacent to page 35 in the
document DATA INVENTORY: TUKWILA PLANNING AREA for locations of existing
apartments. Additional valuable information on apartments is found in the
same document on pages 44 - 49.
2. Natural Conditions: (Source: Data Inventory: Tukwila Planning Area.)
a. Geology: The site is composed of sedimentary and volcanic rock
(bedrock) which has good seismic, foundation, and slope stability.
However, care is recommended when slopes are modified to guarantee
continued stability of the slope.
b. Soils: The majority of this site is till soils over bedrock
which has a high bearing capacity, slight erosion hazard, and
fair internal drainage and arability.
c. Slope: The gradient of the slopes vary from 5 to 25 percent. A
more close analysis of the property, however, shows the majority
of the land to be sloped southerly from 11 - 13 percent.
d. Drainage: The property would be drained by 62nd Avenue South
which has an open ditch drainage system.
c. Vegetation: The primary vegetation on the property is black-
berry bushes with some trees.
f. Wildlife: Bird and animal species which inhabit the subject.
property are typical of those generally found in the Tukwila
area. Although no field studies have been done, it is assumed
that such birds as robins, sparrows, crows and quail use this
area for foraging. Smaller mammels like skunk, weasel, raccoon,
and rabbit are assumed to use this arca also.
3. Circulation: Access to the property is from Southcenter Blvd. via
62nd Avenue South. Access from the east via South 153rd Street
presently is not public right -of -way.
62nd Avenue South is paved for two traffic lanes and has open Glitch
drainage.
4. Utilities:
a. Sanitary sewers are presently available for connection in
Southcenter Boulevard, however, they have not yet been extended
up 62nd Avenue South.
b. A six inch water main presently serves the property with a
hydrant located at the corner of South 153rd Street and 62nd
Avenue South.
C. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION:
The primary potential impact of the proposed rezone application would be
the potential of other property owners within the area identified on the
Tukwila Comprehensive Plan map as multiple - family requesting similar
rezones to the R -4 zoning category. If other similar applications occur,
they should be reviewed, unless new laws are created to guide the City in
their review, under the same procedure as the applicant under this appli-
cation. In the future, policies should be adopted to give the Planning
Commission and City Council more guidance in their decision making role
in the area identified by the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan as multiple - family.
Since this is an action requesting a change of zoning, an impact analysis
will not be provided on a particular development, since a development is
not proposed. .A separate impact analysis would be completed at such time
as a building permit is applied for on the property. The decision to not
include an impact analysis of a specific development is based on a recent
Supreme Court of Washington decision on Narrowsview Preservation Associa-
tion vs the City of Tacoma, a part of which reads as follows: "It is
entirely consistent for government to determine that a change in zoning
will not have a substantial impact on environment, based upon information
available, when examined in relation to those uses already allowed by
existing zoning and,yet required an evironmental impact statement at such
time.as a preliminary plat orbuilding permit is issued for a specific project
when details of specific structure and use of property are more clearly
defined." Cite: Wash., 526P. 2d 899.
D. ANY UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE EFFECTS:
The only potential adverse effects associated with this rezone application
is not the application itself, but the potential requests for additional
rezones to the R -4 category in the area of the Comprehensive Plan allowing
multiple- family when closer into the single- family areas. Beyond this, no
unavoidable adverse effects are anticipated with this legislative action.
It should be noted that at such time that a building permit is applied for,
an additional environmental analysis will be required of the specific developmen.
E. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED ACTION:
There are only two alternatives to this proposed action since it is a
specific rezone request from R -3 to R -4. Those two alternatives are grant
the rezone as requested or deny it.
F. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL SHORT TERM ENVIRONMENTAL USES AND THE MAINTENANCE
AND ENHANCEMENT OF LONG TERM PRODUCTIVITY:
The sloped hillside where this property is located is not desirable for
agricultrual uses nor are mineral resources known to be located thereon.
It is anticipated that this area will be developed to an urban character
and therefore the proposed action will be consistent under the title of
this section.

INTRODUCTION:
The following is a Statement of Declaration by the undersigned
as the Responsible Official pursuant to Title 18.98 of the
Tukwila Municipal Code and the Washington. State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971.
An Environmental Assessment has been completed on the proposed
legislation and has been taken into consideration in this
Declaration.
DECLARATION:
Based upon the Environmental Assessment as prepared, Section
18.98 of the Tukwila Municipal Code dealing with environmental .
policy and the guidelines issued by the Washington State Depart-
ment of Ecology for the implementation of the State Environ-
mental Policy Act, I find that the proposed rezone application
from R -3 to R -4 will not have a significant effect upon the
environment and therefore a complete Environmental Impact
Statement is not required.
The City reserves the right to require an additional environ-
mental review, and full Environmental Impact Statement if
deemed necessary, at such time as a building permit is applied
for on the property.

Parker read proposed ordinance re- classifying certain
property from R -3 zoning to R -4 zoning within the
City of Tukwila, by title only. Councilwoman Harris
reviewed the minutes of the October 15 Community
Affairs Committee meeting which recommends "do not
pass" for the following reasons: (1) The Comprehen-
sive Land Use Plan indicates multiple dwelling in
this area. This has been met in that the parcel is
already zoned multiple- dwelling. (2) Access is by
one road, legally, only. Although traffic is increas-
ed, accessibility is not, thus traffic hazards would
be increased. (3) Safety from fire - not enough in-
formation to comment. (4) Adequate light $ air - no
problems are foreseen. (5) Overcrowding of land -
the density of land would be from 50 units and 110
people in R -3 to 120 units and 264 people in R -4, or
approximately 2 1/2 times on 'that parcel alone.
(6) To secure an appropriate allotment of land area
in new developments for all the requirements of comm-
unity life - difficult to assess until a site plan is
presented. (7) To conserve and restore natural beau-
ty and other natural resources - difficult to assess
and project. In summation, the committee determined
that the present zoning provides the maximum density
that the "hill" area should have and still maintain
its rural atmosphere.
Mr. Frank Todd requested that the entire record of
the Community Affairs Committee minutes be admitted
to the record of the City Council minutes. Council
President Traynor and Councilwoman Harris, Chairwoman
of the Committee, agreed. Councilman Traynor stated
at the time the previous rezone request to RMFI was
discussed, several Council Members indicated that
R -4 zoning was more desirable. He stated this may
have prompted the petitioner to refile a request to
R -4. . He stated regarding a normal size building lot:

He stated this project was started under LID #23 and
was voted down by the people and then re- enacted by
LID #26. Was the construction cost 10% more for LID
#26 than for LID #23 and was any work eliminated from
the contract between the time LID #23 was proposed and
LID #26 was, constructed. Steve Hall explained LID #2 .
was voted down during the preliminary assessment roll
hearing and the project never went to bid. The contra
was the same for the work in LID #23 and in LID #26.
There was an error in publication regarding the line
installed on 151st; the publication stated the line
had been installed under LID #26 when it was actually
installed under ULID #6, King County. Discussion re-
garding the separation of costs between ULID #6 and
LID #26 continued. Steve Hall further explained there
was less than 10% increase in the bids received from
the contractors over the cost of the preliminary asses:
ment roll. Due to difficulties encountered during the
construction phase, the amount of the final assessment:
is 10.8% more than the amount of the preliminary asses:
ments.
Steve Hall recommended an adjustment in the final
assessment for Willis and Joanne Burton, in the amount
of $645.60. The total assessment roll is now
$192,664.40 and the difference created by the adjustme]

Council to hold a public hearing. The Planning Commis-

Traynor stated the City Council previously held a pub-
lic hearing regarding this application even though it
was for a different classification of zoning in May
1975. He stated the ordinance should go to committee
for a recommendation. Councilwoman Harris stated the
Council passed Resolution 489 which was passed August 4
and the request was filed by the applicant of August 4,
The proposed policy of the Council was known and did

Chief Executive Office certainly would have had to be

Frank Todd's rezone received the

already-vetoed ordinance granting
the former mayor the reclassifica-
tion. , 7
For nearly two.'years Todd has
sought an upzone on property he -
• ' bought on 62nd Avenue South. The
•. land was zoned R-3 when the former
- , mayor bought it, which would not
. allow the construction of a high-rise
apartment he first sought.
After considering the request for
months, the city council finally
granted Todd a rezone ordinance
which would have allowed him to
build three three-story apartment
buildings. But included in the
ordinance was a stipulation calling
for a minimum of 30 per cent open
space on the 21/2 acre-development.
Mayor Ed Bauch vetoed. that
ordinance because there is no clear-
cut definition of open space. The
veto was upheld but the council still
had not addressed the question of
what constitutes open space.

The issue was finally turned over
to the planning commission for a

: the discussion turned to
apartment developments and their
value to the city.
Mayor Bauch delivered the
strongest anti-apartment message
to the council.
"The applicant in this case is the
one who wants the higher zoning,
..you don't owe it to him," the mayor,
long outspoken against upzoning,
told the council.
"If there's never another
apartment building built here, the
• city will be the better for it. We've
'got more than our share of industry
and more than our share of
apartment buildings.". • •
The mayor suggested the city
: should devote what land is left with-
in Tukwila to single family
residences.
The planning commission will
consider the open space definition
and return it to the council, which
will decide whether to include the
definition in the zoning ordinances.

Tukwila City Council
14475 - 59th Ave. South
Tukwila, Washington 98067
Ladies and Gentlemen:
June 29, 1976
Pursuant to the authority of R.C.W. 35.24.210, I hereby veto Ordinance 978
passed by you on June 21, 1976, for the following reasons:
1. Density
Section 2 c limits the density to 104 units; however
this density of 40 units per acre is excessive and
exceeds all other apartment developments in the city
but one regardless of the zoning.
2. Open Space
Section 2 f provides for 30 percent open space in the
development; however, it did not define "open space ".
Does "open space" include:
Parking lots?
Sidewalks?
Driveways?
Swimming pools and filter buildings?
Retaining structures such as a rockery?
Although the ordinance provided for approval of the
site, elevation, basic floor and landscaping plans
prior to development, no guidelines were given for
this new concept of open space.
3. Height Restrictions
The definition of first level parking spaces or basement
spaces, as it applies to the total story limitation of
R -4 zoning, as well as where height is measured from on
the ground, is undefined in the building codes and
could cause confusion when applied to this rezone.
Tukwila City Council
June 29, 1976
Page 2
4. Adjacent Zoning
The rezone is incompatable with adjacent zoning and
will have an impact on future composition of the
surrounding area.
In view of the above reasons, I am returning Ordinance 978 for reconsideration.
I feel that any future development that has more than 28 units per acre is
not in the best interest of the city and its citizens. I also feel that
this density must be defined in a manner that is clear and unambiguous.
