from Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Todd
t
Mr. Frank Todd stated regarding the Council's decision
to deny the preliminary plat, he wanted to know if
they would consider an application for rezone to R -4.
The land may be developed without a plat or he can go.tc
court to appeal the decision on the proposed plat.
Mr. Todd requested the Council to allow him to attend
the next Committee of the Whole meeting to discuss
an R -4 zoning proposal. Mayor Bauch stated a waiver
form is available in the Planning Department for all
rezone requests above R -1 since there is an existing
resolution placing a freeze on these rezone requests
until June, without approval of the Council. Mr.
Todd stated there is a time limit to appeal to the
Superior Court on the plat denial but he will pursue
the rezone if the Council would give him some indica-
tion they are willing to•recons.ider it. Otherwise,
he did not wish to let the time limit run out.
Councilwoman Harris stated she did not feel it was
proper to discuss this reconsideration until a formal
request came before the Council and she felt it was
not legal to reconsider a previously denied ordinance
which now is several months past. She stated Mr. Todd
should make his decision and proceed with it from here,
Councilman Van Dusen requested a legal opinion from
the City Attorney regarding the reconsideration of
the rezone. Mayor Bauch stated the only time the
denied ordinance could have been reconsidered was at
the Council meeting immediately following the action
rejecting the ordinance. Deputy City Attorney Hard
stated the Council may be willing•to waive the 30 day
period to allow 60 days or whatever to consider some-
thing else. Council President Hill stated if Mr. Todd
did re -apply to the Planning Commission and then to •
the Council, it would take 4 or 5 months and the con-
struction season would be over and it would in effect
be another year before any development could commence.
Councilman Traynor stated he has sat on the Council
through all of these development proposals and he has
seen nothing yet that would change his mind now about
his voting •in the past but he would be willing to
discuss the matter again.
Deputy City Attorney Hard stated the Council should
also be aware of any precedents they may be setting.
The Council has to treat all people equally and this
situation may come up again on another plat. Mr. Todd
stated the precedent has already been set by the
Council recognizing time constraints on appeal to
Superior Court, but in any case 60 days is not suffi-
cient. He stated he felt several people may agree
that it would be a tragedy to destroy one of the better
view pieces of property with lower quality housing.
He stated he had hoped to appeal to the Council for
reconsideration on the higher zoning classification
for the best use of the property and not with regard
to the property owner.
Council President Hill read a letter from Frank and
Jpan Todd requesting the Council to accept on behalf
of the City a picture of Mt. Rainier, Council. Preside]
Hill requested an ordinance to accept the picture.
Mr. Todd stated he and Joan would appreciate having
. this picture hung in the new City Hall. Mayor Bauch
stated it will also hang in the old City Hall at the
back of the Council Chambers.

RE: Your preliminary subdivision application on 62nd Avenue South
This letter is intended to officially notify you that the Tukwila City Council
at their last regular meeting of April 5, 1976 did deny your preliminary
subdivision application as applied for on the above referenced property.
After the motion to deny, they adopted a motion that the reasons for denial .
of the application was due to non compliance with recommendation 1 through 6
of the attached administrative report dated April 5, 1976.
MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: City Administration
CITY of TUKWILA
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: Revised Administrative Report on the Preliminary Subdivision DATE: 19 March 1976
Application of Todd's Rainier Vista..
Please find attached with this memorandum the Administrative Report regarding
the Preliminary Subdivision Application of Todd's Rainier Vista which is
scheduled to be before the City Council in a public hearing at the regular
meeting of April 5, 1976.
Please be advised that RCW 58.17.140 states that any proposed subdivision
and dedication shall be approved, disapprove or returned to the applicant
for modification or correction within 90 days from date of filing thereof
unless the applicant consents to an extension of this time period. This
item was filed with the City of Tukwila on January 2, 1976, and technically
the 90 day period ends on April 2, 1976. The City, however, can demonstrate
that it has made continual progress in the process of this application and I
see no problem as long as the Council takes action on it on April 5, 1976.
I would recommend the City Council take one of the following actions on April
5, 1976:
1. Make a motion that the City Council intends to approve this
preliminary subdivision application with the conditions as
recommended by the administration and refer the item back to
the applicant to revise the layout of the plan so that it will
be in conformance with the imposed conditions. Further, that
the applicant is to resubmit the revised' plat layout and required
developer's agreement within 30 days for Council consideration or
the Council will at that time deny the application based on non
compliance with the conditions they have stated a desire to see.
2. Deny the application since the plat layout does not conform to
the right -of -way requirements and dedications of utilities desires
of the City.
Since the Council has published a public hearing on this matter during this
meeting, the Council is free to take any action they desire without being
limited to the recommendations of the Planning Commission.

Administrative Report April 5, 1976
8. State law regarding subdivisions, Chapter 134, Laws of 1974, 1st Ex.
Session, Sec. 5 (RCW 58.17.110), reads as follows:
"The city, town, or county legislative body shall inquire into the
public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment
of the subdivision and dedication. It shall determine if appropriate
provisions are made (in the subdivision) for, but not limited to, the
public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage
ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies, sanitary
wastes, parks, playgrounds, sites for schools and schoolgrounds, and
shall consider all other relevant facts and determine whether the
public interest will be served by the subdivision and dedication.
If it finds that the proposed plat makes appropriate provisions for
the-public health, safety, and general welfare and for such open
spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water
supplies, sanitary wastes, parks, playgrounds, sites for schools and
schoolgrounds and that the public use and interest will be served by
the platting of such subdivision, then it shall be approved. If it
finds that the proposed plat does not make such appropriate provisions
or that the public use and interest will not be served, then the
legislative body may disapprove the proposed plat. Dedication of
land to any public body, may be required as a condition of subdivision
approval and shall be clearly shown on the final plat. The legisla-
tive body shall not as a condition to the approval of any plat require
a release from damages to be procured from other property owners."
9. State law from 1969, (RCW 58.17.240) also states:
"Except for subdivisions excluded under the provisions of RCW 58.17.040,
as now or hereafter amended, permanent control monuments shall be estab-
lished at each and every controlling corner on the boundaries of the
parcel of land being subdivided. The local authority shall determine
the number and location of permanent control monuments within the plat,
if any."
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Proposed lot sizes and width comply with zoning regulations.
2. It can be inferred from minimum right -of -way requirements that dedica-
tion is also required. FINDING 8 dealing with state law should be
reviewed to determine if a public street would be in the public health,
safety and general welfare especially relating to providing public
access to the property. "Dedication of land to any public body may be
required as a condition of subdivision approval and shall be clearly
shown on the final plat." (Breuer V Fourre (1969) 76 Wn 2d 582, 458
P2d 168.)
Dedication of right -of -way within the property is not proposed.
City Council
Administrative Report

'April •5, 1976
3. TMC 17.08.010 (1) requiring residential roads to have a minimum right -
of -way width of 50 feet, ten feet more than existing width of the
servicing street, that is, 62nd Avenue South.
4. The proposed roadways:
a. Do provide 20 feet of pavement.
b. Do not provide 7 feet of crushed rock shoulder on each side.
5. All utilities must conform to established city standards and should
be dedicated to the city after proper installation. Utilities should
be extended to the westerly property line and devised in such a way
that will accommodate future connection.
6. Consideration should be given to the need for turnarounds on each
road to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. Fire
Department recommends a 65 foot turning diameter or a fire hydrant at
the end of each road.
7. Since no local comprehensive plan or regulations exist regarding open
spaces, alleys, parks, playgrounds, or school sites, the proposed sub-
division appears to be in the public health, safety and general welfare
in these areas.
•
RECOMMENDATION:
Administration recommends approval of this preliminary subdivision only with the
following conditions attached:
1. The road be constructed with a 20 foot paved width, 7 feet of crushed
rock shoulder on each side and a ditch section be designed in accor-
dance with Tukwila Municipal Code standards and included on each side
of the roadways for storm water collection.
2. Monumentatio.n of each corner of the subdivision and each lot line as
it intersects with any of the road right -of -way.
3. That a 50 foot right -of -way be dedicated on each proposed street.
4. That the sanitary sewer and water mains be built to city standards and
dedicated to the City and an adequate easement be provided for their
maintenance. In addition, the water main be a loop system, preferably
through lot 7, with 3 gate valves provided in the system.
5. Dedication of five feet of additional public right -of -way along the
entire east property line adjacent to 62nd Avenue South and the execu-
tion of a developers agreement with the City to agree to participate in
any future L.I.D. to improve 62nd Avenue including any utility or other

Administrative Report
6. That a 65 foot diameter turnaround be required at the western terminus
of each road. At such time as any roads are extended west any turn -
around area outside of the 50 foot right -of -way shall revert back to
the owner of the abutting property.
NOTE: Local ordinances dictate the requirement of item 1 in the above recom-
mendation. State law requires monumentation of each corner of the
boundaries of the subdivision. The additional monumentation of lot
lines where they intersect with the proposed right -of -way is an admin-
istrative recommendation that is considered to be in the public interest
and state law authorizes local governments to require internal monumen
tation of lots.

Councilwoman Harris stated the City Council had :determined
when the present Park Plan was in need' of updating, it
would be a process of amending the Plan not repealing it,
although the Council's specific authorization to the
Planning Department may not have been clear on that. She
stated she did not want to repeal the preseni Plan because
there are some things that we can still use even though
much has been carried over to the new Plan. 'Councilman
Traynor asked Councilwoman Harris to be more specific as
to which parts of the present Plan should not be repealed.
Councilwoman Harris stated she would like to have the pre-
sent Plan amended rather than repealed. It met at that
time all of the requirements for the Forward Thrust funds
for parks and she would like to see Olsen, Richert i 13ig-
nold's basic plan expanded by this new Plan as an amend-
ment. Councilman Van Dusen disagreed, stating the new
Plan takes out the civic center, the city hall., the main-
tenance facilities, etc. which no longer apply. This new
Plan was compiled with a large degree of citizen :input as
well. which he fel t was important.

Councilwoman Pesicka stated that by adopting this Plan,
we are not automatically making all these projects effe
tive although hopefully, all the projects can be accom-
plished. Kjell Stoknes stated the project appears here
an intention to develop a right -of -way for bikers.
Discussion continued.
Mayor Bauch questioned the procedure to amend or repeal
the present Plan. Attorney Fleming stated an amendment
would be appropriate if you are saving some of the ele-
ments of the original Plan. With this new Plan, we ar
making some additions and some changes. Repealing the
present Plan is a complete action and it may not be the
intent to do that. Kjell Stoknes stated the intent as
the Planning Department understood it was to replace th
original Plan. We threw out the public facilities elem
from the original Plan. We feel it is important that t
Capital Improvement Program be adopted. Whether the pr
sent Plan is amended or repealed makes no difference fr
a planning aspect.
Councilwoman Pesicka stated if the funding proposals ar
due April 1 for the Christianson Rd. project, then it i
necessary to pass this Plan. Councilman Traynorstated

just the pavement -- the whole right -of -way, and right
now when you get cars on both sides, it's crowded. And
I can imagine what a 34 foot, even a 34 foot wide road
would be. But I'm not sure of the procedure and when I
should bring up this item -- whether I should do. it now
for the second reading of the resolution or for the final
adoption of it, but I strongly feel that this should be
returned to the applicant and have the plat brought up.
It is my understanding from Mr. Stoknes of the Planning
Department and as he outlined. the procedure for filing
a preliminary plat, that if you are going to reject this
resolution, deny the resolution, you have to do it at a
public hearing. So if you want that option open to you;
then it's my understanding you'd have to set a public
hearing to consider this resolution if you want that
option to reject.
How do you know this tonight if you don't vote?
You either vote yes or you don't vote.
How will you know ahead of time how we're going to
vote? It doesn't make sense.
Well, this is the way that my advice from the Revised
Code of Washington has been set up.
I have some questions regarding Parliamentary procedure.
I'd like to, I know we have a motion and a second, is it
proper to . ask for a recess to review the law on that part-
icular matter to vote yes now or later. I would like to
reread that -- do we make a motion to lay it on the table
.or what's the proper procedure. I would like to have an
opportunity to look.into that legal point.
A motion to recess is always in order.
Is it? Then I would move to recess for ten minutes so
that we can do that with our ,City Attorney.
Well, no, let's bring that out right now.
Well, then, he can announce after we reconvene what the..
I'll second the motion to recess for ten minutes.
Motion to recess carried with Councilman Van Dusen voting
no. The meeting recessed from 8:22 P.M. to 8 :37 P.M.
Mayor Bauch called the meeting back to order with'a11
Council Members present as previously listed.
Will the City Attorney give us an interpretation of the
R.C.W.?
Yes, thank you Mr. Mayor. The State law requires that
the City Council at this time if it is going to approve
the preliminary plat, it may do so. I.f it's going to
approve the recommendation, it may do so without setting
another public hearing. However, R.C.W. 58.17.100 and
.110 require that if there is going to be any modificatio
or any changes made in the preliminary plat, that the
Council should not do that tonight, it should determine
if that is going to be done, but a date must be set in th
future for a public hearing and the applicant must have a
opportunity to be prepared and to present evidence and pr
sent his arguments in favor and the matter must be.held

in an open public hearing. So my recommendation is than
you determine whether or not there are some objections
or if there are any changes that. the Council believes
should be made in this preliminary plat and if so, you
do not make the changes tonight, you set a public hearir
and do it then.
Any questions of the Attorney?
I have one.
Mr. Todd?
Are you saying then, Mr. Fleming, that we go into the I
public hearing with a pre - determined conclusion on the
part of each Council Member that suggests changes in this
thing? They're going to state their opinion here tonigr1
and vote on it, or maybe perhaps they are not going to
vote on it, but they are going to state 'their reasons fcl
recommending changes and then are they going to vote in
the hearing or are they not going to listen to the argu
ments.
Well, no, I would understand that the City Council would
sit in the public hearing, would be advised by the evi
dence, the facts that are presented at the public hearir,
I don't believe anyone would make up his mind ahead of
hearing that evidence or considering the facts.
If it is the intent of any member of this Council to
alter the recommendations of the Planning Commission, it
seems to me it's pretty obvious that they intend to alte
the facts.and stand on without hearing any
of it.
Well, I think we're getting into the mechanics now, Mr.
Todd, but I first heard the discussion of some of the
Councilmen who had some technical questions about the
plat, and it seems obvious that the State law is designe
to accommodate the most efficient, orderly and reasonabl
decision - making and they should refer this back, for
example, if it's a question about the road, then the Cour
cil would direct the Planning Commission and the staff t
study that carefully and come back prepared with specifi
facts after the hearing. And also give you. the oppor-
tunity at the same time to come in with facts as you see tt
and then if there is a dispute, then the Council will
make up its mind. But I don't think anyone will make ur
his mind ahead of time.
I think that regarding the width of the street the legal
demands of the City can make on me as far as the widths
of the streets are concerned are at issue here, and now
I'm told by staff,the people in charge of these various
departments who control these contingencies, to do one
thing that I can do on this and then a Councilman comes
in here and.says he looks out of his windot and determir
the streets are too narrow because the one is too narroi
in front of his house, he's going to have t'o recite for
me the T.N.C. that backs him on his position -- certain]
not his personal opinion can't enter into this plat
approval or rejection. I think it has to be in accorc
ance with the law. And the plat was drawn by a profess-
ional engineer and he knows the law. I just don't thin]
that, I think if there's going to be an argument it won'
be technical, it will be a legal argument.

Attorney Fleming: Well, Mr. Mayor, I presume that both
the City Attorney and the City engineer and the City
planner will be better prepared at the meeting after
studying this problem.
Any other questions from the table?
Yes, Mr. Mayor, I would like to direct a question to the
City Attorney about the items that would be the proposed
changes. Should they be made known this evening so that
when the staff can do the necessary work and if so,
should they be made in the form of a motion specifically
outlining these questions to be discussed at the public
hearing?
Yes, I think it would be appropriate to advise both the
City planner and to advise the applicant in all fairness
as candidly as possible I believe so that everyone under-
stands what the thinking is or what the questions are
that are being raised, but it must be returned to the
Planning body for further work and further study and
development.
I had a question of the City Attorney, too. I'm not
real well versed in this type of thing, so would you
explain the difference between a preliminary plat and a
regular plat or is there one or what is the difference.
Well, with a final plat you mean?
Yeah.
Well, there's often quite a big difference. A preliminar
plat doesn't contain much of the detail that must be pre-
cise and must be final and you may have a good point here
that a preliminary plat . . .
I don't have a point at all. I'm trying to understand.
Well, a preliminary plat doesn't necessarily contain all
of the final detail and the engineering, the distances,
the surveys and all of the detail that is required by law
doesn't have to be in the preliminary plat.
So if this preliminary plat weren't approved, we wouldn't
be bound by the boundaries in it. Is that what you're
saying?
Well, I would think that if you approved a preliminary
plat that the items that you might be in a difficult
position later to make changes in what you have already
approved. For example, I assume that the preliminary
plat,and I haven't.yet read it, I assume that it.must hav
some width of streets. Well if you approve that plat, it
isn't fair to come back to the developer or. the applican
later and say, well, we've changed our minds -- we think
you ought to have a wider street. That wouldn't be very
fair. So I gather that what you're asking is if it's •
'necessary to consider the preliminary plat as an importan
plat.
Well, no, what I was trying get is in horse - trading,
somebody names a price and it's just a starting price for
working back and forth and that's not the case here, is
that what you're saying?
. Attorney Fleming: It's a little different than that.

Kjell Stoknes: To add just a little bit to that. A pre

items. It should take care of all of those surface it(
that you can see. The lot lines should be very well
fixed, the street widths should be established, the fa(
that the utilities should be to City standards or not
.should be established, the width of the road, the consi
tion to City standards should be established so that tl
applicant can go back to his engineer and say, I wane
you to give me the final drawings in this plat includil
all the underground work, the specifications on the
roads, everything, so I can take it back to the City
Council for final approval and get on with it. The pre
liminary plat is the one that generally has a public he
ing and the final one should merely be the applicant
following through on the Council's instructions. If h(
does, the Council should just give a rubber stamp to 11

me something to prepare my defense, if you will. And I
haven't heard anybody say anything except Mr. Traynor
and what he said just can't be applicable to this
situation.
Mr. Todd, we have been advised to hold a public hearing.
A public hearing has been set.
Well, what is the public hearing going to accomplish
other than to hear from the Councilmen that have some
objections to the original plat?
They're going to hear recommendations for changing to
preliminary plat and reasons for or against changing.
Well, then, maybe I should pose this question tonight to
you if I may have your permission to ask the City
Attorney what position does this put the applicant in
with regard to imposition of further complicating res
trictions on this plat by the Council. How do I defend
it?
Are you asking that question of myself or of the . .
Well, if you don't know the answer then ask the attorney,
maybe he'll know.
Well, the answer is that the public hearing will determine
what it . . .
the
Who's going to testify at the public hearing? They've
had a public hearing and the thing has been approved as
a result of that, with three stipulations. Now when we
have our next public hearing, does mean that the
Council is going to come out here in the audience and
speak against this thing or for or whatever they're try-
ing to promote ?, It's obviously a promotion, an effort to
try,to kill the whole thing. But, how do I rebut input
from the Council that night when you are going to make up
your mind obviously from your own testimony, the positions
of which I think we have a feeling on now.
I can't answer that. Mr. Stoknes?
Kjell Stoknes: We're stuck in a procedural dilemma here because. State law
says we can't make a change to the .Planning Commission's
recommendation which means if they recommend approval,
you can't put new conditions on or deny it without having
a public hearing. So far we have had one public meeting
prior to tonight. Tonight is the second public meeting
and those are unpublished. Public hearing meetings -- it •
has to be published and it sounds to me like the Council is
saying, we're gonna make some changes to it but it hasn't
yet committed to what type of changes, whether it means
more conditions, modifications to it or an outright re-
jection. And the attempt here is to comply frith the State
law which I agree, it leaves the applicant uncertain as to
what's going to happen for another three weeks. But'.it's
one of those State law procedural things.
I was wondering of Mr. Fleming, you made a statement that
the objections that the Council has at this time should
be made public so that the applicant could then come up
with a defense for the public hearing. Is that the state-
ment you made or did I misunderstand you?
Attorney Fleming: I think you certainly could, Mr. Hill, and I think to be
fair with an applicant if there are some reservations on

hearing.
I'd like to say what I think about it. Obviously, there
only one thing and that's narrow streets and it was sta
that upon the opinion of the Planning Department that
went ahead and had his engineer draw this according to
what City standards were. Well, I debate that the Plan
Department would advise anybody to put in 35 foot stree
We've had a situation like this in the past and the pas
mayor knows this where we had streets very similar to
that before and we ran into nothing but problems. I
think for the City to do that twice in a row would be
foolish, to jump into little streets like that again.
That's what I'm looking at and that's what the Planning
Department and Planning Commission should be looking at
is the width of those streets with no turn- around and n
way to get in and out except back in or back out
Mr. Todd, will you please wait to be recognized.
Mr. Mayor, I haven't said anything yet. Excuse me if
I interrupted the conversation.
You're out of order.
I guess .I won't say any more.
Mr. Van Dusen.
I think Mr. Todd brought up a question that hasn't been
answered about where does it stipulate that we can cont
him on those streets. Does anybody have the answer on
that?
Mr. Stoknes?
Thank you. The subdivision ordinance of Tukwila has tti%
separate sections in there. One deals with roadway. I
calls for basically a 34 foot roadway section with an
open ditch included in that. We also have a section in
there that says 50 foot right -of -way is required in a
residential subdivision. The key is no where in there
does it say that a subdivision has to dedicate public
right -of -way. Now that's the fundamental question. Ti
recommendation the Planning Commission passed along, ti
didn't say but their assumption was that we can't
require a dedicated 50 foot right -of -way because it doe
say so. I think you can interpret it both ways. You
heard from the assistant attorney two weeks ago who sai
yes you can require that 50 foot dedicated right -of -way
At this point, this is your decision now to deal with.
If you say that you can require a 50 foot dedicated rid
of -way, that sets a pattern for the future. All subdi\
sions most provide public right -of -way unless you speci
individually why this is a unique situation. But, basj
ally, it sets the trend. But that's the key -- can yol
or can you not require a public dedication and you can
interpret it either way you want.
What we really need, I think, is an ordinance stating
that. •
Now you have the ordinance stating it. What you have
a dilemma on the interpretation of it.

Councilman Traynor: I think Mr. Stoknes has said the key words that it sets
a precedent and it's like our 90 foot signs down there
where once we got the one, we got three. The Council set a
precedent that we would allow 90. •foot signs and all of
the sudden we got three. So if we allow a 30 foot road,
we're going to have lots of them. If he doesn't want to
'put in a standard size street then why plat? I mean, it':
going to be a private road and he's going to put some
development in there, then why plat? Canyon Estates did
not plat their inner roads.

Councilman Van Dusen: Okay, what we need is a clarifica-
tion of the ordinance.
Kjell Stoknes: You have the power to do that by action
just by deciding whether or not you want the dedication
or not. That is what sets it for the future. That
becomes the interpretation of your ordinance and it's
just as valid as law.
Yeah, but it always gets into the problem of we can.re-
quire it here but next time we won't require it.
Then you would be subject to a law suit.
That's what I'm alluding to.
You should be consistent once you act. .I may be out of
order by saying this much. Maybe it's Mr. Fleming who
should be saying this.
Mr. Traynor?
Mr. Van Dusen.
I would agree with what Skip says and I believe what we
have to do is make that consistent 50 foot by. ordinance
for clarification.
Mr. Mayor.. May I speak?
Mr. Todd?
To the subject of consistency -- there are all kinds of
examples in this town inconsistent with T.M.C. and I'm
addressing myself especially to streets and I.can name
you five of them just boom, boom, boom, like that.
Several of them are private streets or were. Several of
them have been cut pretty thin but they're still private
roadways in Tukwila under private ownership that are only
20 feet wide. And I think the precedent has already been
established. Now if you're going to be arbitrary and
capricious in this case, then I'm going to be, you know,
do what I have to do to straighten it out. The only
person it will make happy is Mr. Fleming.
Any other' discussion? Mrs. Harris.
Since I have been sitting on the Council, this is the
second time that I can remember considering a plat. And
I can only address myself to prior experience of consid-
eration on the plat itself. It seems that we are charged
as the legislative body to consider the health, safety an
welfare of the people living in this 2.5 acres as well as
the total community. I agree with Mr. Traynor very def-
initely about the streets. We do have the Tukwila Code
which requires a right-of-way of 50 feet and we have
another Tukwila Code stating a 20 foot paved with 7 foot

a condition of the subdivision approval, require the deg

think the same authority to require the construction to
City standards of all of the utilities involved and. the
dedication of those utilities to the City of. Tukwila.
Therefore, I would move that the change to the Planning
Commission's recommendations that would be considered at
the public hearing on April 15 that the City Council
address itself to the issue of requiring a 50 foot right
of -way on each street proposed in the plat in accordance.
with T.I.C. 17.08.010 (1).* *That's one and I've got some

some other proposed things should be considered and I
think they should be separate motions.

No, we don't. We're in discussion.
Councilman Traynor: Oh, I thought she made another motion.. I'm sorry.

hearing to consider the 50 foot right -of -way.

Mr. Mayor, the motion to set the public hearing date was
not voted upon.
Well, all right . .
Am I out of order?
You're out of order. I stand corrected.
* *I'11 withdraw my motion.
We're on setting the public hearing date of April 5th,
the motion was never voted upon. Is there any more
discussion?
Question. Go ahead.
I guess I'm kind of confused. I guess I want an outline
of where we stand, where we're going to go after this
public hearing and what we're going to do in this public
hearing. Can anybody tell me that?
I can tell you what the State law says.
How about paraphrasing it?
The public hearing, you can change the Planning Commiss-
ion's recommendations by adding new conditions to it,
which could include a 50 foot right-of-way. You can add
that condition to it and include any other conditions to
it and approve it or you could deny it and state your
reasons for denying it.
But we are to wait until the public hearing before we
lay this all out?
Before you can actually do the action, yeah..

Councilman Saul reported the progress of the cookbook
with the help in its preparation from citizens and
students. We are now ready for printing but the paper
for the 250 copies will cost about $700 and we don't
know what the cost for actual printing will be yet.
He stated the cost of the paper and printing will be
returned to the City through the sales of the cookbook
but at this time there is only $600 in the Bicentennial
Committee's own bank account. Councilman Traynor relate
his success in selling the belt buckles and suggested
more be sold to raise funds for the paper and printing
costs. Mayor Bauch stated it was the intent of the Citp,,
Council that all expenditures for Bicentennial costs be
approved by the Council before any is expended.
Councilwoman Harris questioned if this is an authorized
expenditure of the City's funds out of the Revenue Sharilj
funds. We can anticipate that the books will be sold bud
we do not know for sure that all of them will be. She k
requested a legal opinion as to how this might be consid
ed by the State Auditor. Mayor Bauch stated this will n
be Revenue Sharing monies but it will come from the gene
al fund. State law does allow cities to fund Bicentenni
projects and he felt the cookbooks would be an authorize,
project. Councilwoman Harris stated by going into the
production of selling the cookbooks, the City will'be
going into competition with private enterprise. Council
man Saul disagreed. Councilwoman Pesicka asked if it
would be proper for the City to deposit the amount neces
ary for the cookbook into the Bicentennial account.
Councilman Van Dusen stated since the Bicentennial was
provided funding through the budget for 1976, he felt.
the Council could approve this expenditure. Kjell Stoknf
Planning Director, stated the funds coming back to the
City from the 'sale of the cookbook into the general fund,
should be distributed to the Bicentennial Committee as
revenue. MOVED BY SAUL, SECONDED BY MS.:PESICKA, TO

Attorney Fleming announced a settlement of one of the
oldest cases of the City in the amount of $5,500 in pay-
ment of the Terrace Apartments law suit dating back to
1965. He stated their firm reviewed the ce with the
other attorneys in the case and agreed to not go to trial
Mr. Al Pieper requested the City Council to initiate an
ordinance stipulating the requirements for a private
street in a specific manner and he stated all departments
should have input according to their. interests. Council
man Traynor stated if the staff feels that there is a
need for such an ordinance or resolution, the mechanism
is there for such proposals to go from the departments tc
the administration and then to the City Council. •Council

Cont. for the benefit of the City and those dealing with the
City. Discussion continued. Mr. Pieper stated the pro-
blem exists ultimately for the City Council each time .
.these situations come before the City. Councilwoman
Harris stated the ordinance related to all residential
development. It is difficult for staff to make decision!
on these.matters without adequate rules to follow, and
the rules should come from the City Council.
Mr. Fred Shepherd stated the developer has come ,in to
develop his apartments and has been turned down by the
City Council and now it appears it is in the mill to turf
down the developer again on the preliminary plat and he
did not feel this was right.

Kjell Stoknes replied the information was available

Mayor Bauch stated a letter was received from

of the deadline now imposed.
MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY VAN DUSEN, THAT THE
PUBLIC HEARING BE DECLARED CLOSED.*
In reply to a question of Councilman Gardner's, Carl
Stixrood stated that the Planning Department has
contacted King County Flood Control and that this
plan does meet their requirements for work along
Green River. The reason for repealing the current
park plan is that it is no longer valid in the
opinion of I.A.C.
*CARRIED. The public hearing was closed at 7:28 P.M
Councilwoman Harris questioned if the public•hearing
had been adequately conducted; not all of the mater-
ial has been reviewed. Mayor Bauch asked about the
public hearing held before the Planning Commission.
Mr. Ron Mettler, Planning Commission Chairman, state
the public hearing was held in January and continued
to February but the crowd was disappointing. He
stated all the Planning • Commission meetings are duly
advertised.
Mr. Frank Kriedler stated he was not sure of what
was proposed to be adopted and how the City would be
bound by it. Steve Hall, Public Works Director,
stated it is similar to the 6 -Year Road Program in
that by adopting the plan, the staff would be able •
to initiate proceedings on grant funding. The plan
can be revised at any time later.
Mrs. Rena Holloway stated the plan extends to 198
She felt all the improvements are too much of a
commitment from the City for maintenance, etc. She
asked if the plans were 'consecutive. Steve Hall
replied this plan is only an indication of the
desired improvements. If the funds are not availabl
then the projects cannot be accomplished. The plans
can be revised on the basis of funding and changes
in priorities. The Program is a guideline for budge
ing and for applying for grant funds and it is not a
commitment to spend the money. Kjell Stoknes added
that we anticipate to find the funding in the genera
fund of the City and not to request new taxes for
any of these projects. In reality, 20-30% of these
types of plans are actually completed and if we can
achieve 3 out of these 10 projects, we will be doing
well. Councilwoman Harris stated she felt this
needed more study. Mayor Bauch stated this new
Program matches the current park plan about 90%,
with only the completed projects and mulicipal build
ing projects removed. There is also a new order of
priorities. Discussion continued.
Kjell Stoknes, Planning Director, stated this item
was introduced at the last Council meeting at which
time the public meeting date was set. The Planning
Commission considered the staff report on January 29
and consequently recommended three conditions of
approval as well as the approval of the proposal.
If the City Council concurs with the Planning ComriE
sion, it would be appropriate to read the proposed
resolution which appears on the agenda tonight. If
not, any changes would be subject to a pu}J1ic hearir
before the City Council.

Mayor Bauch opened the public meeting at 7:41 P.M.
and called for discussion from the City Council.
Councilwoman Harris stated the Planning Commission
originally advertised their public hearing to be
held on January 22 but there was not a quorum present
They met again on the 29th during which time all the
agenda items were carried forward from the 22nd.
Under the provisions of the Open Meeting Act, it is
stated that a notice must be posted in a conspicuous
place to inform the public of the cancellation and
to state the date and place of the next meeting.
She asked if a notice was posted and if it was necess•
ary to re- advertise the rescheduled date. of the public
hearing. Deputy City Attorney Hard stated the law
provides that if a meeting is properly advertised
and the meeting is then cancelled due to lack of a
quorum, the meeting can be adjourned and held at a
later date without re- advertising. He stated there
should have been a notice posted for public informa-
tion. Councilman Van Dusen asked if Councilwoman
Harris is suggesting that this be referred back to
the Planning Commission. Mr. Mettler stated the
Planning Commission was short a quorum on January 22
and the public present was verbally informed of the
date of the next meeting. He stated he also stayed
on to informally discuss business with those present
for about an hour and no other people came by to
attend the cancelled meeting.
Councilman Traynor requested to view the area on the
map. Councilman Van Dusen stated in reading the
Planning Commission Minutes, he noted references to
better and higher use of the property and statements
were made regarding a proposed use as a trailer park.
How does this fit into the Comprehensive Plan for the
City? What better uses are there? Why was an addi-
tional 5 feet of right -of -way established? Steve
Hall, Public Works Director, stated the minimum right -
of -way for a non - industrial City street is 50 feet.
Kjell Stoknes stated the higher use as the Comprehen-
sive Plan presently shows is high density multiple'
residence. We have had two previous rezone requests
which were denied for higher use. The mobile home
development is only presented as an intent; this use
is not allowed within the City now due to the anti -
trailer ordinance even though such an ordinance is
presently a non - constitutional law. Councilman
Hill asked when the completion of the update of the
Comprehensive Plan is scheduled. Kjell Stoknes,
.Planning Director, stated the last element is due
for the second Council meeting in April with the map
due at the first meeting in June. In order to get
through all the public hearings, it appears the Plan
will be ready for adoption sometime in August. Dis-
cussion continued. Kjell Stoknes stated the matter
before the Council for discussion is the subdivision
application and not a rezone to a highew use.
Mayor Bauch stated the staff has discus'sed this plat.
The Fire Department and the Police Department have
stated that they feel the turn- around at the end of
the street is necessary for ;roper patrolling and for
emergency vehicles. The streets and underground
utilities will be private and the City will not be
able to service these streets in heavy snow or other
conditions. Once this is developed, these improve-
ments are locked in forever and the character of the
development is established an': we will have a sub-
standard development within - _he City. The iinp ove-
ments do not meet the reruirc :rents of the T.M.C.

and at this time the City is in the process of up-
grading its standards for development. Mayor Bauch
stated he felt that it would be a giant leap back-
ward to allow the subdivision to continue as it is
proposed. That is the City's position. Councilwoman)
Harris stated it appears that the paperwork on this
is not complete to the requirements of the R.C.W.'s �
regarding plats. The Council should be considering
the health, safety and welfare of the community.
There are several questions regarding this plat and
subdivision. We do not know the intended use. Steve
4
Hall, Public Works Director, stated there is a differ -,
ence between this as a preliminary plat and a final
plat which Councilwoman Harris has referred to. A
preliminary plat is more of a statement of general
philosophy regarding the development.
Mr. Frank Todd stated it is a waste of time to dis -•
cuss the intended use of the land. Everyone except
himself seems to know what he is going to do with it.
It has been approved by the Planning Commission as
were the requests for rezone to better and higher use
within the last two years. He stated Mayor Bauch's
comments when he was a private citizen regarding the
rezone were not appropriate as he lived two miles
from the proposed rezone property, and tonight his
opinions expressed as Mayor would have caused the
previous Mayor to be routed out of town, had the
previous Mayor made those same comments from the
table.
Councilman Hill asked Steve Hall if the preliminary
plat meets the requirements. This has gone before
the Planning Commission and they have made recommen-
dations to the City Council to consider. He also
asked the opinion of the City Attorney. Deputy City
Attorney Hard replied there is a question regarding
the 50 foot right -of -way. Kjell Stoknes, Planning
Director, stated this is a legal subdivision and
preliminary plat application. The streets are not
required to be dedicated and it is being processed
as complying with the P -3 zoning use.
Mr. Reid Johanson stated there were recommendations
from the Planning staff to the Planning Commission
but only two of the eight or ten recommendations
were considered before passing the motion to approve
the application for Council consideration.
Deputy City Attorney Hard stated there was a failure
he felt in not posting a notice in compliance with
the Open Meeting Law. If the Planning Commission
Chairman waited for half an hour or so after the
meeting was adjourned, it probably was a valid meet-
ing on the 29th. Councilwoman Harris stated she
felt the information was very insufficieryr. even for
a preliminary plat.
Mayor Bauch closed the public meeting at 8:22 P.M.

Councilwoman Harris stated she requested this item
on the Agenda. At the February 23, 1976 Committee
of the Whole meeting the Public Safety Committee
selected its chairman by secret ballot. The Finance
and Personnel Committee held an impromptu get- togethe
in the Clerk's office and selected its chairman.
Neither were accomplished . before the public at any
meeting. How•did the Public Works Committee and the
Community Affairs Committee select their chairmen?
Councilman Gardner stated the Public Works Committee
voted by ballot. Councilman Traynor stated the
Community Affairs Committee also used the ballot.
Councilwoman Harris suggested the committees vocally
elect their chairmen tonight. She stated she did not
feel the secret ballot was advisable under the re-
quirements of the Open Meeting Law and A.G.O. #35.
MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY SAUL, TO VOCALLY AND
OPENLY ELECT CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN.*
Councilman Traynor stated he did not feel this would
apply to the three - member committees who do not con-
stitute a quorum of the Council. Deputy City Attorney
Hard stated the law seems to apply to all government
agencies and sub - agencies. Councilman Traynor stated
this discussion would seem more appropriate for a
Committee of the Whole meeting. He stated he did not
want to vote all over again so he stated he voted for
as chairman of the Community Affairs Committee
and for Councilman Gardner as chairman of the Public
Works Committee. Council President Hill stated he
did not feel the ballots were taken for the purpose
of withholding information from the public but for
the sake of expediency. Councilman Van Dusen stated .
the procedures for committees are set forth in the
Council procedures ordinance. He stated he voted for
himself for Public Safety Committee chairman and for
Councilman Traynor for Public Works Committee
chairman. Councilwoman Pesicka stated she voted
for Councilman Saul as chairman of the Finance and
Personnel Committee and for Councilman Traynor for
Community Affairs. Councilman Gardner stated he
voted for himself for Public Works Committee and he
did not recall how he voted on the others: Council-
man Saul asked if this fulfilled the requirements by
stating how we voted. Deputy City Attorney Hard
stated it is a peculiar way to do it, but he felt it
would meet the requirements by making the voting
public. Councilman Saul stated since there were two
votes for him for the Finance and Personnel Committee
he did not vote on that choice and he voted for Coun-
cilwoman Harris for the Public Safety Committee.
Council President Hill stated he counted the votes
and gave the tally to the Council Recording Secretary
and as president, he does not serve on any committee.

he did not feel everything should be going to the

Councilwoman Harris urged the utmost use of the
committees. The Council cannot discuss all of
business at the regular meetings and the committees
should be utilized for informal discussions. The
public has no opportunity to digest the impact or

Councilwoman Harris stated she felt the City is re-
quired
to abide by the Adevelopers agreement and the
ordinance which rezoned the property. It seems much
simpler to enforce the conditions of the rezone and

increased traffic, then form an LID to include that
area of land, that street, from Macadam to 57th Ave.
So. only, and have only those costs which pertain
to that improvement in the LID. Mr. Smith stated
he was prepared to do that but an LID will not go
through only from 57th Ave. to Macadam and the 'reason
is that the City suggested an LID to go through all
the way to the end of 152nd. Discussion continued.
Councilman Van Dusen suggested the original assessment`
proposal be accepted and stated he felt that Mr.
Esping and Mr. Wynn are probably not being benefitted
by the improvements at this time.
Mr. Rod Esping requested that a letter submitted to the
Council from his attorney be read _He stated he is not

Deputy City Attorney Hard read proposed ordinance
ordering the improvement of property within the City
of Tukwila, Washington, along portions of South 152n,
Street and 57th Avenue South by acquisition of addi
tional public' right -of -way, grading, widening and
paving the street surface, installing sidewalks, .
curbs and gutters, installing storm drainage, storm
sewers and sanitary sewers, water facilities, under-
ground utilities and street illumination, all in

Tukwila, Washington; establishing Local Improvement
District No. 28; providing that payment for said
improvements be made by special assessments upon
property in said District payable by .the mode of
"payment by bond "; and providing for the issuance an
sale of local improvement district warrants redeemab
in cash and local improvement district bonds, by tit
only. He also supplied a change in the language of
the ordinance to cover any of the alternate methods
of assessment to be chosen by the Council. Council
President Hill asked Attorney Hard about the possi-
bility of the City paying the assessments on the un-
developed property and then collect the assessment
when the property is sold or developed. Attorney
Hard stated it is possible but he would recommend
against it because of the problem in trying to admin
ister and recover the funds there is no guarantee
the assessment will be reimbursed. The R.C.W.'s do
not address late comers agreements for LID improve-

Department file #MF -76 -2 -Sub., by title only.
Councilwoman Pesicka stated that both Steve Hall and
Kjell Stoknes have indicated they are not happy with
the present zoning and Mr. Todd has stated he is not
happy with the zoning so why are we considering this
and why is it not going through the motions of being
rezoned. Mayor Bauch stated Mr. Todd had made appli-
cation to lhe Planning Commission for a preliminary
plat and we are acting upon that tonight.
Mr. Frank Todd stated the plat at this point can be
amended and there is no excuse available to deny the
application for preliminary plat. Before this is
filed as a final plat, there will be amendments made
to it to comply with the R -3 zoning. Mr. Todd dis-
cussed a short subdivision and other alternatives
to the preliminary plat. Discussion continued re-
garding the amendments to the resolution. Kjell

not have provisions for a short plat and that these
types of developments are processed through the
County. Councilman Traynor stated that if the Counc:
agrees with the Planning Commission's recommendation:
the application can be further processed. If the
Council makes any changes in the resolution, there
must be a public hearing. Mr. Todd stated he
stipulated to the conditions as set by the Planning
Commission but if the Council feels it 'needs further

11:45 P.M.
Council President Hill stated the Mayor's original
letter to the Council appointed the firm and also
stated that Larry Hard would serve as the City
Attorney. He stated he had no qualms about Mr.
Fleming serving as City Attorney and the.others
as Deputies but it should be approved by the Council.
The Council ratified Mr. Hard, but now it would be i.r,
order to ratify Mr. Fleming instead.
Deputy City Attorney Hard stated the City Council
took the fundamental action of appointing the law
firm to represent the City and he felt it would be
a good action for the Council to formally approve
Mr. Fleming as City Attorney. Attorney Hard stated
the provisions in the Tukwila Municipal Code regard-
ing the City Attorney need revision. Councilwoman
Pesicka stated Mr. Fleming informed the Council that
he had appointed Mr. Hard and Mr. Toone as Deputies
and our ordinance states that they do not have the
authority to do that. We are paying the firm
$18,000 in retainage and $10,000 for land use and
we have no information regarding fees for represen-
tation in court, etc. She stated she would like to
have a list of those types of fees. Attorney Hard
stated the practice of the firm is that whatever
attorney represents the City, his particular rate
would apply. If the case is a tax matter, we have
a tax attorney who charges $75 hourly. An appeal
from Municipal Court is a $30 or $35 hourly rate.
He stated the firm intends to use the attorney with
the lowest rate who is best qualified for the case.
He stated the firm is also willing to establish a
straight hourly rate for all services if the .Council
so desires. Councilwoman Pesicka stated she felt
the Council should have a contract with the firm for
the hourly rates.
Mr. Frank Todd stated that previously Mr. as
an employee of the City Council last year charged.
approximately $100 an hour for services in court.
Attorney Hard stated Mr. Fleming's fee is $65 per
hour. The work of the City does not require a fee
at $75 per hour. It is the intention that a higher
hourly rate would be used only for situations which
called for unique skills or abilities.
Councilman Traynor stated he would like to know what
each City Council Member wants specifically regardin;
the fees contract. Councilwoman Harris stated as
long as the firm is agreeable to do the routine City
business within the retainer, she did not see what
any of this discussion was about. Attorney Hard
stated there currently is a fee amount for Superior
Court work pending. Councilman Van Dusen stated the
Council and Attorney Hard have agreed there are some
legitimate questions and he felt a contract for the
fee rates was required.
City Clerk Shirlee Kinney explained the Council did
not make a motion to pass the resolution, although
they voted to pass it. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY

PLANNING COMMISSION
Minutes of the Meeting, 26 February 1976.
The regular February meeting of the Tukwila Planning Commission was called to
order at 8:15 P.M. by Chairman Mettler. Commissioners present were: Mr. Kirsop,
Mr. Link, Mr. West, Mr. Bohrer and Mr. Bowen. Kjell Stoknes and Gary Crutchfield
represented the Planning Department.
Chairman Mettler introduced Mr. Lionel Bohrer and Mr. Richard. Bowen as two newly

of the 29 January 1976 meeting as corrected above.

Planning Commission Page 2
Minutes of the Meeting 26 February 1976
VI A - PUBLIC HEARING - REZONE - R -1 to C -2 (Anderson)
Mr. Stoknes pointed out the subject property on the city map and Chairman
Mettler opened the Public Hearing at 8:30 P.M. Mr. Crutchfield read entire
Staff Report including Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation.
Mr. Larry Canaan, representing Mr. Anderson who had not arrived yet, asked
if there was any time table to develop a gravity flow system for sanitary
sewerage.
Mr. Stoknes explained there was not and that it would depend on the rate of
development in that particular vicinity since it takes 60% of the property to
be served to form an LID.
Mr. Kirsop asked about the Bon Marche Distribution Center manner of sewerage?
Mr. Stoknes stated he was not sure how they dispose of the sewer waste. Noted
that Parkway Plaza pumps its sewage to the south.
No one else was present to speak for or against the rezone. Chairman Mettler
closed the Public Hearing at 8:40 P.M.
Mr. Link asked how much of the property would be affected if development was
restricted to below the 35 foot elevation.
Mr. Crutchfield explained very little of the property would be affected and the
restriction is designed to maintain the integrity of the toe of the steep slope
above the subject property. Mr. Stoknes further noted the flexibility of exceed-
ing the 35 foot elevation if a sound engineering proposal was presented.
Mr. Bowen asked about the need for sidewalks in this area especially with
additional commercial development.
Chairman Mettler explained the proposed Sidewalk Plan, as yet unadopted, indicated
a priority need for a siewalk in this vicinity but on the east side ofSouthcenter
Parkway.
Mr. Kirsop asked if the equitable charge in lieu of assessment, recommended by
Staff, would go to the City or to LID #27?
Mr. Stoknes pointed out the charge would go to LID #27 but the final assessment
roll has not been completed for that LID as yet.
t
Mr. Kirsop suggested adding the phrase "regraded during freeway construction"
after "area" in Finding #11.
Mr. Harvey Anderson of TEAM Research Company, applicant, arrived and Chairman
Mettler stated he could comment on the Staff Report.
Mr. Anderson stated his concurrence with the Staff Report and noted the sewer
force main and pump will be located at the northeast corner of the property to
both accomodate future developments to the north and to help defray costs.
Planning Commission Page 3
Minutes of the Meeting 26 February 1976
Mr. Bowen questioned the setbacks of the C -2 zone.
Mr. Crutchfield explained the only setback was the front yard and the width of
the street effectively reduces the setback requirement to nothing.
Mr. Kirsop noted the 15 foot utility easement creates an effective 15 foot
setback. Also indicated CM zone setbacks may be appropriate here to compliment
the CM district across the street.
Mr. Link asked what the proposed use is and is there enough parking?
Mr. Anderson explained a wholesale tire distributorship is planned here and the
parking will comply with code requirements.
Mr. Stoknes asked Mr. Anderson if he was aware of the outside storage restrictions?
Mr. Anderson stated he was.
Mr. Link asked if street was adequate here? Mr. Crutchfield stated Southcenter
Parkway is a 5 lane arterial including a two -way left turn lane.
Motion by Mr. Kirsop to adopt the Findings and Conclusions of the Staff Report, as
revised, and recommend to the City Council that the rezone from R -1 to C -2 be
granted only upon compliance with the following stipulations:
1. That land area above approximately 35 feet elevation be left in a
natural state.
2. The forced main sewer connection line be installed in accordance with
City of Tukwila standards, at the full expense of the property owner,
and a special connection charge be paid by.the property owner in
accordance with Chapter 14.16 (sewer charges) of the Tukwila Municipal
Code.
3. Operation and maintenance of the pump and sewage force main shall be
at the full expense of the owner.
4. At such time as an LID is formed for a gravity flow sewer system serving
the vicinity of this property, as shown in the Tukwila Comprehensive
Sewer Plan, the property will agree to equitably participate in such LID
in accordance with Section 14.16.076 of the Tukwila Municipal Code.
5. A charge in lieu of assessment to be paid to the City at a rate to be
established by the final assessment role for LID #27. f
6. On -site construction shall conform to the height, yard and area
restrictions and architectural review as outlined in Sections 18.32.030
and 18.32.040 of the Tukwila Municipal Code.
7. All of the above conditions shall be a part of the ordinance granting
the rezone in the form of a Developer's Agreement properly executed and
recorded.
Planning Commission Page 4
Minutes of the Meeting 26 February 1976
Discussion of the motion included the reasoning for Condition #6 - the C -2
zone setbacks do not compliment the CM zone directly across the street and
some control is needed to ensure that actual development of the C -2 zoned
property will not detract from the CM district.
Motion was seconded by Mr. West and carried unanimously.
VI B - CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - PARK and OPEN SPACE PROGRAM
Chairman Mettler explained that this Public Hearing had been commenced at the
29 January meeting and was recessed to this meeting. Opened the recessed hearing
at 9:10 P.M.
Carl Stixrood, Planning Department, explained that the Interagency Committee for
Outdoor Recreation (IAC) had reviewed the preliminary Program since the last
meeting and recommended several changes - primarily in the structure of the docu-
ment. Explained all the subsequent changes made to the original draft of 8
January 1976.
Mr. Kirsop asked how close the estimates contained in the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) are to actual costs.
Mr. Stixrood explained that King County assessments were used and are character-
istically lower than appraised values. Development estimates are conservative in
that they represent costs of minimal projects.
Briefly described each project within the CIP.
Mr. Stoknes pointed out that IAC had recently revised their application require-
ments in that Tukwila must file a Park Plan by 1 April 1976 to qualify for any
finds during the next year. If this deadline is not met, the CIP would be set
back one year.
Mr. Bohrer asked how this proposed Program relates to the Open Space Element of
the Comprehnsive Plan recommended by the Commission for adoption.
Mr. Stoknes explained that the Park and Open Space Concepts defined through the
objectives and policies of the Element are implemented by the projects contained
in the proposed CIP.
Mr. George Hull, Segale Business Park, noted that Southcenter Parkway south of
180th Street is very dangerous for foot and bicycle traffic due to the width
the road and the number of large trucks using it. The trail along the creek near
South 180th indicated in the proposed Program is very near the Segale residence.
Also stated that every time the City proposes to implement a plan with projects
it costs the taxpayers more money. Estimates are characteristically low and time
delays between estimates and actual construction raise the actual costs. Stated
it is better to dofew good park projects rather than several minimal projects.
Mr. Stoknes pointed out that the Capital Improvement Program anticipates funding
from current revenues and that no new taxes or bond issues would be needed to
implement the CIP.
Planning Commission Page 5
Minutes of the Meeting 26 February 1976
There being no further audience comments, Chairman Mettler closed the Public
Hearing at 10:05 P.M. No further discussion ensued.
Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. Bowen and carried unanimously to recommend
the City Council adopt the preliminary Park and Open Space Program as drafted
8 January and amended 23 February 1976.
VI C - PUBLIC HEARING - RESIDENCE ELEMENT
Chairman Mettler opened the Public Hearing at 10:15 P.M. and Mr. Crutchfield
and Chairman Mettler read aloud the entire Element as proposed by the citizen
committee.
No one in audience spoke for or against the proposed Element.
Mr. Bohrer suggested replacing the word "location" with "proximity" in the
second paragraph on page 3 -2.
Mr. Stoknes suggested changing Policy 4 on page 3 -7 to read: Encourage a minimal
care and maintenance level for undeveloped open spaces.
Mr. Stoknes also suggested adding "within appropriate zoning categories" to the
end of Policy 1 on page 3-11.
There being no further audience or Commission comments, Chairman Mettler closed
the Public Hearing at 10:50 P.M.
Motion by Mr. West, seconded by Mr. Link and carried unanimously to recommend
the City Council adopt the Residence Element as revised, as an element of the
Comprehensive Plan.
VIII A - Site Plan - Addition to Kirschner Scientific
Mr. Crutchfield pointed out the location of the existing building, described
the proposed improvements and read Staff Report recommending approval.
Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. Bowen and carried unanimously to approve the
plans as presented.
Mr. Kirsop suggested the Building Department be directed to check the distance
between the proposed addition and any surrounding buildings to ensure the r
maintenance of any open areas required by the Building Code.
IX A - Letter from Board of Adjustment re: Sign Code
Mr. Crutchfield read Staff Report and noted the letter had inadvertently been
omitted from the Staff Report. Proceeded to explain that an interpretation made
by Staff, and which had been sustained by the Board of Adjustment, restricted
wall signs to those building faces whose associated yard abutted a public right -
of -way. This action is being appealed to King County Superior Court by International
Harvester and should be decided sometime in May or June.
Planning Commission Page 6
Minutes of the Meeting
Commission noted their concurrence with the interpretation and directed Staff
to look into possible amendments to allow signing of buildings whose property
does not abut any public right -of -way.
Mr. West and Chairman Mettler noted that "A" frame signs are still a very real
problem and the Sign Code should be enforced to eliminate them.
Chairman Mettler noted the ACC covenants may be legally challenged in the near
future and that the City should consider the possibility of incorporating those
covenants into the zoning code to ensure the maintenance of Andover Industrial
Park.
Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. Bowen and carried to adjourn the meeting.
Chairman Mettler adjourned the regular February meeting at 11:15 P.M.

attend schooling and he wondered how the City
Council felt about the matter - should a City Counci
Member obtain approval before attending such school-
ing and presenting the bill? Councilman Van Dusen
suggested that the City Council approve such schooli
before they get paid - that the Council Members need
to get approval from someone the same as Department
Heads. Councilman Saul stated that the City Council
Members attend these schools on their "off" time
and he asked the amount of the voucher. Council
President Hill stated it was for $16.00 and he was
wondering how the other Council Members felt about
the procedure policy. Councilman Saul stated that h
thought the procedure to follow would be to get prio
Council approval before attending school and present
ing the bill for payment. Council President Hill.
stated that the City Council would then make it a
policy for City Council Members to obtain prior appr
val before attending conferences and schools and

Up -date
FOR THE NEW TERM COMMENCING APRIL 1, 1976 AND'Explq..
ING MARCH 31, 1979. CARRIED.
Mayor Bauch declared the public hearing open at
7:10 P.M. Planning Director Kjell Stoknes stated
the Open Space Committee had recommended four objec
tives in the proposed open space element of the
comprehensive plan. Objective 1 would provide for
an adequate and diversified supply of open spaces
and include them in an open space system. This
objective concerns the first element of the open
space system, namely the open spaces (or parts).
These may include active recreational facilities
like a softball field, passive recreational facilit
ies like picnic grounds, parks or forests, and they
may be publicly owned like a park or privately owne
like a golf course. They may be lands with low
development opportunity and /or high natural amenity
Lands which have low development opportunity and /ox
high natural amenity value have been identified in
Natural Environment element and should be utilized
in the open space system. These areas include, but
are not limited to, steep hillsides, landslide
areas, wooded areas, and water features like marsh€
and streams. It is the intent of this objective tc
make these lands more accessible to the public by
visually or physically relating them to the recrea-
tional facilities of the open space system. The
policy shall be to strive to preserve steep hillsic
and wooded areas in a scenic condition. Encourage
replanting and revegetation of denuded areas not it
the process of development; to encourage the preset
vation of marshes, ponds, and watercourses for
open space purposes and include them in the open
space system; provide for active recreation areas
(ballfields, tennis courts, swimming pools, play-
grounds, community center) consistent with the neec
of the community; provide for passive recreational
areas (parks, natural ,reserves, picnic grounds)
consistent with the needs of the community; locate
public recreational facilities where they are easi:
accessible to the resident population; insure that
the public use of open space lands does not inter-
fere with the private use of surrounding private
property; encourage commercial recreation and uses
of an open space nature to locate or remain in the
Planning Area; preserve significant cultural, hist(
ical, or architectural elements in the Planning
Area.
Objective 2 would establish a safe path or trail
system which serves to link the open spaces formin4
an open space system. By linking open space, a
total system can be achieved that is greater than
the sum of its parts. Connective li.nJcs or pathway
are worthwhile in their own right, but they become
even more effective when they tie other open space
together. The total effect is geometric, not situp
arithmetic, and it allows a person on foot, bicycl
or horse to move from one area of interest to
another in an attractive environment. Trails and
paths currently exist throughout the Tukwila Plann
Area, and are used by the residents for recreation
and for the utilitarian function of facilitating
pedestrian traffic from point to point. These tra
must be identified in order to be incorporated int
the formal trail system. The policies shall be to
create a trail system consisting of lowland and up
land trails and link them together at strategic
points; gain i. 1. iii l i:l and open spucc along

the Green River and incorporate them into the low-
land trail and open space system; connect concentra-
tions of commercial /retail activity with the pathway
network; trail easements should be gained through,
in, or along areas of high natural amenity; where
appropriate, construct pathways in existing street
rights -of -way in order to help establish a pathway
system; where possible and where no public
rights -of -way are available, gain trail easements
through private property, consistent with private
property rights, in order to help establish the
trail system; and the trail system should be compat-
ible with pedestrian and bicycle traffic but motor-
ized vehicles should be strictly prohibited.
Objective 3 is methods for implementing the open
space program which would minimize the economic
impact on the taxpayer and landowner. Fee simple
or outright purchase of recreation and open space
land represents the most common, direct, and
usually the most expensive way of acquiring open
space. There are other methods in addition to fee
simple purchase, however, through which the public
can secure open space. Lease of trail easements
or tax relief on farmland are but two examples of
methods in which the City can retain open space
without actual purchase of land. The policies are t
encourage the use of Open Space Taxation on lands
in the Planning Area which are eligible for such
tax practices; building and zoning regulations
should offer some flexibility in their requirements
with regards to developments which offer to set
aside a portion of the property in open space; sce-
nic, access, or trail easements should be obtained
in or through areas which are critical to the over-
all open space system; strive to maximize the effec-
tiveness of the local tax dollar spent on park and
trail acquisition and development by seeking match-
ing monies from other sources.
Objective 4 is to complement and enhance the Tukwilz
Open Space Plan through coordination with regional
plans for parks, trails, and open space. Planning
for parks without regard for the park and open
space programs of other jurisdictions can lead to
unnecessary duplication and disjointed open space
systems. By considering other jurisdictions pro-
grams in the planning process, trail systems can be
tied together, parks and open space facilities can
be complemented and the user of the open space sys-
tem will be richer for it. Policies are to coordin-
ate with Renton, Kent, and King County on shoreline
planning for the Green River; and to coordinate wit}
Renton, Kent, and King County on trails planning.

on January 19, 1976 at the City Council Meeting. I;,
added that Mr. Bernard in his letter stated that he
felt it would be to the best interests to the
citizens of Tukwila if the following objectives wer
followed: (1) Not to create a public nuisance for
private property owners; (2) No interference with
rights of property land owners; (3) Acquisition of
easements, title, etc. without voluntary- consent of
land owners. He stated that the discussion did not
appear to be contrary to the objectives set forth i
Mr. Bernard's letter and he felt these objectives
were important. Mr. Joseph Johanson, audience, ask
if there has been a change in Council policy regard
ing final adoption of the Comprehensive Plan as it
goes through its various stages - is it to be adopt
in final form in one of the motions, rather .than
piece -meal as it went through? Ms. Pesicka said

Mayor Bauch stated that with respect to the sub-
division application of Frank Todd, the Council had
clarification from Kjell Stoknes, Planning Director.
Frank Todd, applicant, stated that he felt it would
be in order for the Council to have a public hearing
on this matter. He added that he did not want to
discuss the matter until a public hearing was held.
Mayor Bauch replied that the recommendation from the
Planning Director to the City Council tonight is to
set a public meeting. Planning Director Kjell
Stoknes said that just for a brief review the
Planning Commission had a public hearing on
January 29 that recommended approval of the applica-
tion. He stated that it is before the Council now
as State Law says that the Council here sets a
meeting - a public meeting date - not necessarily a
public hearing. Assuming you do that for your.next
Council Meeting on March 1 you have the option to
adopt the Planning recommendation, thi:
would finalize the preliminary subdivision and it
would then go back to final design by the engineer,
come back to the Planning Commission for final plat
approval and then back to the Council for final plat
approval with the Planning Commission recommendatior
After this point it would be filed with the King
County Department of Records and Assessments. That
would be the final process on it. If, on March 1,
the other option in the State law says you can rejec
the Planning Commission recommendation. In that
case, you have to set a public hearing. The request
can be approved or denied. If it is denied the
applicant has the option of dropping it or going to
court. If it is approved the applicant goes back
the drawing board with the final design and then the
final plat is processed through the Planning
Commission or the Council. He continued that the
basic step tonight would be to set a public meeting
date in which you decide whether you agree with the
Planning Commission recommendation. Mr. Stoknes
stated he did not know the legality involved if
the Council wants to set a public hearing tonight.
The step -by -step R.C.W. is first meeting set the
public meeting date, the second hearing decide you
agree or do not agree with the Planning Commission
recommendation. If you agree, you are done; if you
do not agree you have to have a public hearing.
MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY MS. PESICKA, THAT A PUBL.

Deputy City Attorney Hard said it could be done
that way but it would have to be agreeable to both
parties. Mayor Bauch stated that the Council has

what was the pleasure of the Council. Council

out. Public Works Director Steve Hall answered that
was right. Council President Hill said that due to
Mr. Esping not really needing this street except
perhaps as an access to the rear of the property -
could the City participate in that and then when i
the property was sold - it is zoned RMH - the pay-
ment could be made at that time. When the road
goes up both sides of property it is hard to say •
this property benefits and this one does not. Would;
the Ordinance have to be rewritten to do this?

Mayor Bauch asked for the Deputy City Attorney's
opinion on.this matter and he said that it might
have to be rewritten, that he had not seen the ordi -1
nance. Mayor Bauch explained that this Ordinance .
was written by Mr. Parker, former.City Attorney.
Public Works Director Hall stated that there is a
provision in the law that you may make minor revis-
ions in a description or the preliminary assessment
roll, but when it is major revisions in the prelimi -t
nary assessment roll he did not know, Mr. Hard woulcp
have to answer that. Councilman Saul said that
if you say that you want to eliminate some of the 1
properties to come in later, how can the fellow next
to him, Mr- Wynn, or the Tukwila Association, not
say the exact same thing and the City is doing all
of the cost of the project. Council President Hill
said that it has been stated many times that the
Tukwila Association does not have an access to Maca-
dam except out on 152nd, that entering traffic at
that angle, as an example, and it is rather steep
there - there is about a 6 to 8 foot bank - they
would have to use 152nd, they cannot come down
farther south, but Mr. Esping's is all flat and is
at the level of Macadam at the present time. That
is where he is in a quandry, he continued, do you d
it for one and not for another? He said the City
would end up paying Tukwila Associates, Esping, and
Mr: Wynn's, collecting at a future date - 5 years,
10 years, or 2 years. Mr. Dobson, attorney for
Rod Esping, said that he would like to say a few
words in behalf of his client. He said that he
knew Mr. Esping had been before the City Council
before in protesting this LID. He said that he wou
like to review briefly the basis for his protest.

Councilman Traynor arrived at the meeting at 8:30 P.
and took his seat at the Council Table.
Mr. Dobson continued that the Council saw fit to
eliminate part of his property from the LID. He
stated his question was what property specifically
would this LID benefit? He asked what other access
is there other than this proposed LID to the proper
south of the LID. He asked if that property was no
specifically benefitted. He said there was the
matter of the degree of benefit. 'Mr. Esping's pro-
perty may benefit some but not to the degree that
the other property would. He said there was also
the question with regard to the development agreeme .
that was entered into several years ago, back in 19
When the Smith property was reclassified the develo
ment agreement specifically said that the owner
of that parcel would improve south 152nd Street eas
of 57th Avenue South and that the owner of the pro-
perty would widen the easterly half of 57th Avenue
South and bring it up to minimum standards; that th
owner will provide water mains; that the owner will
place power and telephone wire underground on 152nd
Avenue South, but it does not restrict it - it says
on 152nd - and that the owner will provide adequate
sewage. This owner apparently in renegotiating the
classification of this property found it beneficial
to agree to do this. Now under this LID are these
things taken into consideration? The agreement goe
farther to say "In addition to these others he will
participate in an LID for the widening and improvin
152nd Street from Macadam to 57th Avenue South."
Public Works Director Hall stated that the Smith pr
perty has sanitary sewer to serve the existing apar
ments he is now constructing - they are adequate -
the water he has served through his property. Depu
City Attorney Hard said that Mr. Esping has a
point in that he had paid for water and sewer and
this should be taken into consideration. Council
President Hill said that Mr. Hall, Director of Publ
Works, had given an estimate that had come up from
Planning that from 57th to Macadam there will not k
any new water or sewer installed. That will not be
part of the LID. The only water that will be instz
led will be from 57th Avenue east of 152nd to even-
tually tie in to 151st in order to make a loop
system. The portion of the road from Macadam to 5;
it iaas their estimate - I think the figures were
$167,000 to complete that portion of it. From 57t1
up to the end of 152nd - the cost of that would be
approximately $90,000. Mr. Smith, who is developir
the yellow portion, $90,000 is what it would cost
to completely develop what he has agreed to develoi
Thus he has an assessment of $148,000 so he is
actually paying $58,000 of the Macadam - 257th por-
tion of that LID and originally that road was put
and surfaced by Smith who was developing. The roac
that are in. now were put in by him. As far as the

word, it appears that Mr. Smith has fulfilled his
requirement. Councilman Traynor stated that in th
information that was received from Public Works

would appear more fair. Mr. Gus Nikataini stated
that the. Smith property would benefit mostly from
the LID. Councilman Traynor said the need of the
road was not a debatable item, it has to be done.

Council President Hill stated that he wondered about
Ordinance #925, Appointment of City Attorney, that
he had no argument with the firm as it was an appoint-
ment by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council,
but he noted that Larry Hard had been designated in
a letter as the City Attorney and later Mr. Fleming
was sworn in as City Attorney. Council President
Hill wondered if these two differences might be
picked up in a court case. Deputy City Attorney
Hard stated that the nomination was the law . firm of
LeSourd, Fleming, Patten and Hartung. He added that
they would have preferred not to have any individuals
named but Mr. Fleming has been designated as City
Attorney. He added that the City Council would not
have to worry about legal technicalities in the dis-
tinction of City Attorney and Deputy City Attorney.
Councilman Traynor stated that he would like to
see in writing a letter to the City Council that they
did confirm the law firm of LeSourd, Fleming, Patten,
and Hartung with Mr. Fleming as City Attorney and
Mr. Toone and Mr. Hard as Deputy City Attorneys.
Councilman Traynor continued that the Mayor could
write the letter for confirmation by the City
Council. Ms. Pesicka stated that she liked the
idea of having the law firm named as the City Attor-

Fleming should remain as City Attorney and all of
his associates would be available to supply any legal
needs of the City.
Councilman Saul stated that he thought the Council
should change the time of the Council meetings to
6:30 P.M. and have them on Tuesday night rather than
Monday nights. Councilman Traynor said pat he would
go along with the change in time to 6:00 or 6:30 P.M.
but it is customary for the City Council " to
be held on Monday nights and it would cause confusion
to those who think of it as being on Monday night.

MEMORANDUM
CITY of 11-114:10V11.A.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
TO: Tukwila City Council Members
FROM: Kjell Stoknes, Planning Director i i52-
SUBJECT: Subdivision application by Frank Todd
Attachments: Staff report dated 29 January 1976
Planning Commission minutes of 29 January 1976
DATE: Feb. 6, 1976
During the Planning Commission meeting of January 29, 1976, a public hearing was
held on a proposed preliminary subdivision application by Mr. Frank Todd.
Due to the lack of substantive local laws covering the division of land and
standards related thereto, the City Staff prepared a report with recommendations
based on both local law and state law. See the attached staff report submitted
to the Tukwila Planning Commission dated 29 January 1976.
After considerable discussion on this subject during the public hearing, the
Planning Commission did recommend approval of the preliminary subdivision
application subject to the following conditions:
1. A ditch section be designed in accordance with Tukwila Municipal
Code standards for storm water runoff.
2. Monumentation of each corner of the subdivision and each lot line
as it intersects with any other road easements.
3. Dedication of five feet of additional public right -of -way along
the entire east property line adjacent to 62nd Avenue South.
The motion of the Planning Commission did not adopt any findings or conclu-
sions, it merely made a recommendation. The minutes of the Planning Commission
meeting and the Planning Commission staff report repared by the Planning Depart-
ment are attached for your information. It is the recommendation of the
Planning Department that the City Council make no decision on this preliminary
subdivision application without also making decisions on the appropriate findings
and conclusions leading up to that decision in order to protect the . city from
legal challenge.

29 January 1976
8. State law regarding subdivisions, Chapter 134, Laws of 1974, 1st Ex.
Session, Sec. 5 (RCW 58.17.110), reads as follows:
"The city, town, or county legislative body shall inquire into the
public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment
of the subdivision and dedication. It shall determine if appropriate
provisions are made (in the subdivision) for, but not limited to, the
public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage
ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies, sanitary
wastes, parks, playgrounds, sites for schools and schoolgrounds, and
shall consider all other relevant facts and determine whether the
public interest will be served by the subdivision and dedication.
If it finds that the proposed plat makes appropriate provisions for
the public health, safety, and general welfare and for such open
spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water
supplies, sanitary wastes, parks, playgrounds, sites for schools and
schoolgrounds and that the public use and interest will be served by
the platting of such subdivision, then it shall be approved. If it
finds that the proposed plat does not make such appropriate provisions
or that the public use and interest will not be served, then the
legislative body may disapprove the proposed plat. Dedication of
land to any public body, may be required as a condition of subdivision
approval and shall be clearly shown on the final plat. The legisla-
tive body shall not as a condition to the approval of any plat require
a release from damages to be procured from other property owners."
9. State law from 1969, (RCW 58.17.240) also. states:
"Except for subdivisions excluded under the provisions of RCW 58.17.040,
as now'or hereafter amended, permanent control monuments shall be estab-
lished at each and every controlling corner on the boundaries of the
parcel of land being subdivided. The local authority shall determine
the number and location of permanent control monuments within the plat,
if any."
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Proposed lot sizes and width comply with zoning regulations.
2. Although local regulations do not require dedication of roadways and
construction to city standards, FINDING 8 dealing with state law should
be reviewed to determine if a public street would be in the public health,
safety and general welfare especially relating to providing public access
to the land to the west. "Dedication of land to any public body may be
required as a condition of subdivision approval and shall be clearly shown
on the final plat."
In any case, if private roads are used, the easement description should
provide equal and undivided interest to all abutting lots and be
included on the final plat.

3. TMC 17.08.010 (1) requiring residential roads to have a minimum
right -of -way width of 50 feet, ten feet more than existing width.
4. The proposed roadways:
a. Do provide 20 feet of pay.ement but do not provide 7 feet of
crushed rock shoulder on each side.
b. Do not provide a ditch on the south side of each road to
handle storm water runoff for a 10 year storm.
5. All utilities must conform to established city standards.
6. Consideration should be given to the need for turnarounds on each
road to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. Fire
Department recommends a 65 foot turning diameter or a fire hydrant at
the end of each road.
7. Since no local comprehensive plan or regulations exist regarding
open spaces, alleys, parks, playgrounds, or school sites, the
proposed subdivision appears to be in the public health, safety and
general welfare in these areas. (See Conclusion 2 regarding interior
roads.)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this preliminary subdivision only with the following
stipulations:
1. Seven feet of crushed rock be provided on each side of the 20 foot road
section. This would require a total easement of 34 feet in width rather .
than the proposed 30 feet.
2.. A ditch section be designed in accordance with Tukwila Municipal Code
standards and included on each side of the roadways for storm water
collection.
3. Monumentation of each corner of the subdivision and each lot line as
it intersects with any of the road easements.
4. That the sanitary sewer and water mains within the easement roads be
dedicated to the City and an adequate easement be provided for their
maintenance. In addition, the water main be a loop system, preferably
through lot 7, with 3 gate valves provided in the system.
Planning Commission
staff Report
5. Dedication of five feet of additional public right -of -way along the
entire east property line adjacent to 62nd Avenue South and the
execution of a developers agreement with the City to agree to partici-
pate in any future L.I.D. to improve 62nd Avenue including any
utility or other related improvements needed in conjunction with the
street improvement.
6. That a 65 foot diameter turnaround be required at the western terminus
of each road or a through road be provided connecting the two easement
roads through lot 7.
7. A provision be made allowing access through this property to the
property to the west.
NOTE: Local ordinances dictate the requirement of items 1 and 2 in the above
recommendation. State law requires monumentation of each corner of the
boundaries of the subdivision. The additional monumentation of lot lines
where they intersect with the proposed roadways is a staff recommendation
that is considered to be in the public interest and state law authorizes
the Planning Commission to require internal monumentation of lots.
Recommendations 4 through 7 have no local or state law explicitly,.
duthorizing them, however, staff feels they are necessary for the public
health, safety and general welfare as worded in the State Law in Finding
8 of this staff report. Staff feels it is within the prerogative of the
Planning Commission to require items 4 through 7 should they also feel it
appropriate..

PLANNING COMMISSION
Minutes of the Meeting, 29 January 1976.
The regular January 1976 meeting, postponed from 22 January 1976, was called
to order at 8:05 P.M. by Chairman Mettler. Members present were: Mr. Mettler,
Mr. Link, Mr. West and Mr. Kirsop. Planning Department was represented by Fred
Satterstrom and Gary Crutchfield.
Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. West and carried to approve the minutes of
18 December 1975 as prepared.
Motion by Mr. Kirsop, seconded by Mr. Link and carried to postpone annual
election of officers until the next regular meeting.
Mr. Crutchfield read the Staff Report regarding City Council actions with
respect to planning- related matters during the past'month.
PUBLIC HEARING - REZONE from R -12 to R -7.2 (Homeco Realty)
Mr. Crutchfield informed the Commission that a complete application had not
been received as yet and that Staff recommends the matter not be heard or
considered until such time as a complete application is received. General
concensus of the Commission to not consider the application until complete.
PUBLIC HEARING - PRELIMINARY PLAT (Todd)
Mr. Crutchfield explained where the subject property is located, briefly
described the proposed plat and read entire Staff Report including Findings,
Conclusions and Recommendations.
Chairman Mettler opened the Public Hearing at 8:25 P.M. and asked for c omments
from audience.
Planning Commission Page 2
Minutes of the Meeting 29 January 1976
Frank Todd, 14446 - 59th Avenue South, proponent of the action, pointed out the
Staff Report had been revised from what it contained a week ago. Noted the
entire plat is intended to remain in private ownership and not for sale. Agreed
that the private internal roads should serve all lots within the plat. Disagreed
with Staff's recommendation for a wider roadway since no standards exist in the
Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) for private roads. Noted several examples of
private roads which do not meet the recommendation of staff — 48th Avenue,
Industry Drive and others. Disagreed with need for execution of Developer's
Agreement for L.I.D. regarding 62nd Avenue since he will be putting in all
necessary utilities and will agree to dedicate five (5) feet additional right -
of -way along 62nd Avenue. Will not provide public access to the properties lying
to the west since those properties can gain access from Southcenter Boulevard.
Lastly noted the City Council had denied three rezone applications on this
property in the past year which would have allowed a much better use of the
property than the present zoning.
Joseph Johanson, 6425 South 153rd Street, asked if the property will be used
for a trai l er k?
Mr. Todd stated i t cowl d„,,
Mr. Johanson stated this property has an excellent view, both from it and to
it, and the sight of a trailer park on this property would not be in the best
interest of the community as a whole. Further noted his concern that South
153rd Street may be used as access to this property which would disrupt the
single - family character of his neighborhood. Reiterated his objection to a
trailer park in this location.
Mr. Todd made reference to the Washington State Supreme Court Decisions
making any trailer which meets Uniform Building Code requirements a lawful
residence.
Mr. Johanson stated his primary contention was that a trailer park at this
site would not enhance the integrity of the Tukwila residential neighborhood.
Mr. Todd noted that Mr. Johanson had voted against all three rezone applications
when he was a council member and if he wanted a better use of the property then
he should have voted for a rezone.
Mr. Johanson pointed out that R -3 zoning allows a better development then a
trailer park — such as fourplexes.
Mr. Link asked if the existing fire hydrants were adequate?
Mr. Todd stated the existing hydrants meet Fire Code requirements.
Mr. Link asked if 153rd Street could be extended westerly to provide access to
the westerly properties?

Planning Commission Page 3
Minutes of the Meeting 29 January 1976
Mr. Todd stated 153rd Street is a private road and reiterated that the property
lying to the west of his property does not need access through his property.
Mr. Frank Kriedler, 14734 -- 59th Avenue South, asked if these lots will be sold?
Mr. Todd stated he will build on the lots himself and they will not be sold.
Mr. Kirsop asked if Mr. Todd had a typical plot plan.
Mr. Todd stated no.
Mr. West asked if the lot sizes conform to the zoning restrictions?
Mr. Crutchfield stated they do.
There being no further audience comments, Chairman Mettler closed the
Public Hearing at 8:50 P.M.
Mr. Link asked why Staff had recommended a 34 feet wide roadway easement?
Mr. Crutchfield explained that the Planning Director, Public Works Director
and Fire Chief had conferred and deemed the standards set forth in the sub-
division title of the Tukwila Municipal Code to be the minimum roadway standard in
a subdivision.
Mr. Todd stated his belief that this was an illegal interpretation on the part
of Staff -- that a single - family home would need a 34 foot wide driveway.
Mr. Link asked if 153rd Street can physically be extended.
Mr. Crutchfield explained the extension would be difficult at best and that
the State Highway Department owns right -of -way along the north line of South -
center Boulevard and is intended to inhibit access to those properties originally
abutting Southcenter Boulevard.
Mr. Link asked if the loop system and dedication of utilities was really
necessary?
Mr. Todd stated the entire development will be private and there is no need
for dedication of the utilities or design of a loop system.
Motion by Mr. Kirsop that since the City Council will have the final say on
this matter, the Commission recommends City Council approval of the preliminary
plat subject to the following conditions:
1. A ditch section be designed in accordance with Tukwila Municipal Code
standards for storm water runoff.

2. Monumentation of each corner of the subdivision and each lot,line as

Mr. Crutchfield suggested the Commission hear Agenda items VII and VIII
prior to conducting the remainder of new business. Motion by Mr. Link,
seconded by Mr. Kirsop and carried to consider Agenda items VII and VIII next.
SIGN - NC Machinery
Mr. Crutchfield read the Staff Report explaining NC Machinery desired to
erect a freestanding sign in addition to an existing freestanding sign located
in the southern portion of the property. In accordance with Section 19.32.140
(A), Staff recommended approval of the proposed sign only if the existing sign
was removed.
Dale Box, Tube -Art Displays, stated he was told over the phone last week that
the sign would be approved and the existing sign allowed to remain.
Mr. Crutchfield stated he had no knowledge of any such telephone conversation
and that he was the only one familiar with the application.
Mr. Link noted that if the Commission allowed.two signs here, Cal -Ore Machinery
could do the same as well as any other business that claimed supportive buildings
need seperate identification.
Mr. Crutchfield stated the property is under one ownership and the Used Machinery
Center is supportive to the principal activity; therefore the property is
limited to one freestanding sign in accordance with Section 19.32.140 (A)
unless specifically approved by the Planning Commission.
Motion by Mr. Kirsop, seconded by Mr. West to approve the proposed freestanding
sign subject to removal of the existing freestanding sign and that the script
on the proposed sign be limited to: NC Machinery Company and CATERPILLAR.
Motion CARRIED.
Mr. Norm Summers, NC Machinery, stated the business per se has no identification
at the present time and they simply want to attractively identify the business
as NC Machinery.
Chairman Mettler informed Mr. Summers of the variance procedure available to him
should he desire to pursue the matter further. The Commission feels the Code
should be adhered to unless there is a hardship -- that is to be determined by
the Board of Adjustment through the variance procedure.

8. State law regarding subdivisions, Chapter 134, Laws of 1974, 1st Ex.
Session, Sec. 5 (RCW 58.17.110), reads as follows:
"The city, town, or county legislative body shall inquire into the
public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment
of the subdivision and dedication. It shall determine if appropriate
provisions are made (in the subdivision) for, but not limited to, the
public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage
ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies, sanitary
wastes, parks, playgrounds, sites for schools and schoolgrounds, and
shall consider all other relevant facts and determine whether the
public interest will be served by the subdivision and dedication.
If it finds that the proposed plat makes appropriate provisions for
the public health, safety, and general welfare and for such open
spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water
supplies, sanitary wastes, parks, playgrounds, sites for schools and
schoolgrounds and that the public use and interest will be served by
the platting of such subdivision, then it shall be approved. If it
finds that the proposed plat does not make such appropriate provisions
or that the public use and interest will not be served, then the
legislative body may disapprove the proposed plat. Dedication of
land to any public body, may be required as a condition of subdivision
approval and shall be clearly shown on the final plat. The legisla-
tive body shall not as a condition to the approval of any plat require
a release from damages to be procured from other property owners."
9. State law from 1969, (RCW 58.17.240) also states:
"Except for subdivisions excluded under the provisions of RCW 58.17.040,
as now or hereafter amended, permanent control monuments shall be estab-
lished at each and every controlling corner on the boundaries of the
parcel of land being subdivided. The local authority shall determine
the number and location of permanent control monuments within the plat,
if any."
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Proposed lot sizes and width comply with zoning regulations.
2. Although local regulations do not require dedication of roadways and
construction to city standards, FINDING 8 dealing with state law should
be reviewed to determine if a public street would be in the public health,
safety and general welfare especially relating to providing public access
to the land to the west. "Dedication of land to any public body may be
required as a condition of subdivision approval and shall be clearly shown
on the final plat."
In any case, if private roads are used, the easement description should
provide equal and undivided interest to all abutting lots and be
included on the final plat.
Planning Commission Page 3
Staff Report 29 January 1976
3. TMC 17.08.010 (1) requiring residential roads to have a minimum
right -of -way width of 50 feet, ten feet more than existing width.
4. The proposed roadways:
a. Do provide 20 feet of pavement but do not provide 7 feet of
crushed rock shoulder on each side.
b. Do not provide a ditch on the south side of each road to
handle storm water runoff for a 10 year storm.
5. All utilities must conform to established city standards.
6. Consideration should be given to the need for turnarounds on each
road to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. Fire
Department recommends a 65 foot turning diameter or a fire hydrant at
the end of each road.
7. Since no local comprehensive plan or regulations exist regarding
open spaces, alleys, parks, playgrounds, or school sites, the
proposed subdivision appears to be in the public health, safety and
general welfare in these areas. (See Conclusion 2 regarding interior
roads.)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this preliminary subdivision only with the following
stipulations:
1. Seven feet of crushed rock be provided on each side of the 20 foot road
section. This would require a total easement of 34 feet in width rather
than the proposed 30 feet.
2. A ditch section be designed in accordance with Tukwila Municipal Code
standards and included on each side of the roadways for storm water
collection.
3. Monumentation of each corner of the subdivision and each lot line as
it intersects with any of the road easements.
4. That the sanitary sewer and water mains within the easement roads be
dedicated to the City and an adequate easement be provided for their
maintenance. In addition, the water main be a loop system, preferably
through lot 7, with 3 gate valves provided in the system.
Planning Commission Page 4
Staff Report 29 January 1976
7. A provision be made allowing access through this property to the
property to the west.
5. Dedication of five feet of additional public right -of -way along the
entire east property line adjacent to 62nd Avenue South and the
execution of a developers agreement with the City to agree to partici-
pate in any future L.I.D. to improve 62nd Avenue including any
utility or other related improvements needed in conjunction with the
street improvement.
6. That a 65 foot diameter turnaround be required at the western terminus
of each road or a through road be provided connecting the two easement
roads through lot 7.
NOTE: Local ordinances dictate the requirement of items 1 and 2 in the above
recommendation. State law requires monumentation of each corner of the
boundaries of the subdivision. The additional monumentation of lot lines
where they intersect with the proposed roadways is a staff recommendation
that is considered to be in the public interest and state law authorizes
the Planning Commission to require internal monumentation of lots.
Recommendations 4 through 7 have no local or state law explicitly
duthorizing them, however, staff feels they are necessary for the public
health, safety and general welfare as worded in the State Law in Finding
8 of this staff report. Staff feels it is within the prerogative of the
Planning Commission to require items 4 through 7 should they also feel it
appropriate.

AGENDA ITEM VII A : Additional Freestanding Sign (N.C. Machinery)
N.C. Machinery has proposed the erection of a freestanding sign to be located
in their landscape area near West Valley Highway and perpendicular to the street
as depicted in Exhibit "A ". Staff has assembled the following information with
regard to their application for sign permit.
FINDINGS:
1. A double -face, freestanding sign exists in a perpendicular location
80 feet south of the south entrance to the N.C. Machinery parking lot.
This sign constitutes 160 square feet of sign area.
2. The proposed double -face, freestanding sign would be located approx-
imately 160 feet north of the south entrance to the N.C. Machinery
parking lot. This sign would constitute an additional 288 square feet
of sign area..
3. Section 19.32.140 (A) states "One freestanding sign per building shall
be allowed, except when buildingp are supportive to the principle
activity of a business where signs are allowed only for the principle
use, unless specifically permitted by the Planning Commission."
4. The existing sign identifies the "Used Machinery Center" of N.C.
Machinery.
5. The "Used Machinery Center" of the N.C. Machinery development appears
to be a supportive use to the principle activity in consideration of
the relation to each of the buildings and the fact both uses are under
one ownership.
6. The proposed sign is requested to be in addition to the existing
freestanding sign.
CONCLUSION:
Staff concludes that the Used Machinery Center" located in the southern portion
of the N.C. Machinery property is an activity supportive to the principle use .
and can be identified by a wall sign in conformance with the Sign Code.
Planning Commission Page 2
Staff Report 29 January 1976
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission not allow an additional freestanding
sign in conflict with the Sign Code. Should the existing freestanding sign
be removed, the proposed sign would conform to the Sign Code and be approved.

4. City ordinances do not require road dedications.
5. Roadways serving residential areas must provide:
a. 20 feet of pavement plus 7 feet of crushed rock shoulder

8. State law regarding subdivisions, Chapter 134, Laws of 1974, 1st Ex.
Session, Sec. 5 (RCW 58.17.110), reads as follows: ;z
"The city, town, or county legislative body shall inquireinto the
public use and interest proposed to be served by the establishment
of the subdivision and dedication. It shall determine•if appropriate
provisions are made (in the subdivision) for, but not limited to, the
public health, safety, and general welfare, for open spaces, drainage
ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water supplies, sanitary
wastes, parks, playgrounds, sites for schools and schoolgrounds, and
shall consider all other relevant facts and determine whether the
public interest will be served by the subdivision and dedication.
If it finds that the proposed plat makes appropriate provisions for
the public health, safety, and general welfare and for such open
spaces, drainage ways, streets, alleys, other public ways, water
supplies, sanitary wastes, parks, playgrounds, sites for schools and
schoolgrounds and that the public use and interest will be served by
the platting of such subdivision, then it shall be approved. If it
finds that the proposed plat does not make such appropriate provisions
or that the public use and interest will not be served, then the
legislative body may disapprove the proposed plat. Dedication of
land to any public body, may be required as a condition of subdivision
approval and shall be clearly shown on the final plat. The legisla-
tive body shall not as a condition to the approval of any plat require
a release from damages to be procured from other property owners."
9. State law from 1969, (RCW 58.17.240) also states:
"Except for subdivisions excluded under the provisions of RCW 58.17.040,
as now or hereafter amended, permanent control monuments shall be estab-
lished at each and every controlling corner on the boundaries of the
parcel of land being subdivided. The local authority shall determine
the number and location of permanent control monuments within the plat,
if any."
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Proposed lot sizes and width comply with zoning regulations.
2. Although local regulations do not require dedication of roadways and
construction to city standards, FINDING 8 dealing with state law should
be reviewed to determine if a public street would be in the public health,
safety and general welfare especially relating to providing public access
to the land to the west. "Dedication of land to any public body may be
required as a condition of subdivision approval and shall be clearly shown
on the final plat."
In any case, if private roads are used, the easement description should
provide equal and undivided interest to all abutting lots and be
included on the final plat.
4. The proposed roadways:

5. All utilities must conform to established city standards.
6. Consideration should be given to the need for turnarounds on each

7. Since no local comprehensive plan or regulations exist : regarding
open spaces, alleys, parks, playgrounds, or school sites, the
proposed subdivision appears to be in the public health, safety and
general welfare in these areas. (See Conclusion 2 regarding interior

RECOMMENDATION:
The staff cannot recommend approval of this preliminary subdivision at this
time due to the following:
1. Seven feet of crushed rock are not provided on each side of the 20
foot road section.
2. No provision for drainage has been provided on the southside of each
