LIC HEARING - Conditional Use Permit (Village Green)
Chairman Mettler stated his personal interest in this matter and stepped down
from table turning the chair to Vice - Chairman Kirsop.
Vice - Chairman Kirsop opened the public hearing at 9:30 P.M. Mr. Crutchfield
read the Staff Report stating the findings, conclusions and recommendation
of the Staff.
Mr. Leonard Rivero, Abacus Realasearch, stated he, as applicant, would answer
any questions the Commission may have.
Mr. Bowen asked if the parking will be screened from view of Interurban Avenue.
Mr. Crutchfield and Mr. Rivero explained location of existing hedge along west
property line which screens most of the parking.
Mr. Stoknes noted he had recently observed parked vehicles along the west side
of the hedge.
Mr. Rivero stated that parking is not on his property.
Mr. Kirsop asked if any additional units would be constructed or significant
remodelling would take place. Mr. Rivero stated no, that only a maintenance
upgrading of the facility.
Mr. Link questioned the location of recreation vehicle parking and screening of
such. Mr. Rivero stated most of it currently is located between the rear buildings
and the river.
Mr. Ken Harris, 14301 Interurban Avenue, stated he has observed on countless
occasions boats, campers, etc. parked in the south area of the site and is
quite visible from Interurban Avenue. Feels it should be screened.
Ms. JoAnn Davis, 5906 - 59th Avenue South, asked if Maule Avenue runs along or
through this property. Mr. Crutchfield stated his belief that Maule Avenue
ended at the north end of this property. Stated he did not know if it had
always ended there or if a southerly extension of Maule Avenue had been vacated
in the past.
There being no further audience comments, Vice - Chairman Kirsop closed the public
hearing at 9:40 P.M.
Motion by Mr. Link, seconded by Mr. Bowen and carried to grant the Conditional
Use Permit, on the basis of the findings and conclusions contained in the Staff
Report, to allow the operation of a motel with the following stipulations:
1. That automobile parking be adequately screened.
2. That parking for recreational vehicles be provided and adequately
screened.

Chairman Mettler returned to the table and called a 5 minute recess at 9:45 P.M.
Chairman Mettler called the meeting back to order at 9:50 P.M.
RUBLE HEARING - REZONE: R -1 -12.0 to PF (City Hall Site)
Mr. Satterstrom read the Staff Report and a letter from Commissioner Bohrer
(absent from this meeting) dated 13 September 1976 which related his conclusions
regarding this subject. (A copy of the letter is attached as a part of these
minutes.)
Mr. Stoknes stated he had conferred with the City Attorney regarding the fact
that two of the Commissioners had signed a petition objecting to the location
of city hall at this site. It was the conclusion of the City Attorney that such
an action does not violate the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine and does not con-
stitute a conflict of interest. Therefore, those Commissioners that signed the
.petition are wholly eligible to participate and vote in this decision process.
Mr. Stoknes further noted that the rezone issue is a very important one and
should be considered on its merit from a sound planning standpoint and not as
a simple administrative function under the direction of the City Council.
Chairman Mettler opened the public hearing at 10:00 P.M.
Ms. Louise Strander, 15000 - 57th Avenue South, asked if the study completed by
the Planning Commission a few years ago was as conclusive as the recent Environ-
mental Impact Statement (EIS).
Mr. Link noted that much of the information in the EIS was also contained in the
Commission's 1972 study.
Mr. Ken Harris, 14301 Interurban Avenue, stated his agreement with the Staff's
conclusions and recommendation. Noted that visibility of a new city hall . should
be an essential factor in the location decision. It should be located to both
provide identity for the City and make it easy for the businessmen to find it
since they use it more than anyone else.
Ms. JoAnn Davis, 5906 - 59th Avenue South, stated the decision of where to put
city hall has historically been a political football. As recent as the fall of
1975, 6 of 7 Councilmembers favored the Southcenter Boulevard site. Also noted
that considerable vacant land is near that site to allow more expansion.
Mr. Dwight Gardner, 14112 - 57th Avenue South, stated he has concluded from his
observations that 90% of all the people that utilize City Hall are business re-
lated or are from out of town. Suggested it be placed where it can be seen.
There being no further audience comments, Chairman Mettler closed the public
hearing at 10:20 P.M.

We respectfully submit this application for permission
to use the property at 14800 Interurban Avenue, Tukwila
for a shorter term apartment rental than its present
minimum monthly lease.
Our firm specializes in intermediate stay accomodation
for such people that find it too expensive to stay at
hotels and motels for 2 to 3 weeks, while most apartment
owners will not lease their suites for less than a
6 month term.
Our present operations have proven very successful
due to the existing contracts we presently hold to
supply temporary accomodation to such large corportions
as Boeings and General Electric.
We do not plan to alter the structure or appearance of
the Village Green as it is adeally suited for the
conversion as it stands. We assure the planning committee
that our services will not deterioate the present
valuation but rather improve and enhance the neighbouring
economy.
Due to the number of short term tenants that fly into
the area, and who do not have automobiles, we find that
the existing parking on site of two spaces per unit is
much more that adequate.
We are schedueled to purchase this property with completion
date of Sept. 1st 1976, and are most anxious to have
the planning committee approve our request for conversion,
for the purchase price and terms cannot be justified
unless we are allowed to operate the complex as we have
just proposed.
Yours truly,
Leonard C. Rivero
President

This correspondence is in response to your application to the Tukwila Planning
Commission for Conditional Use Permit to authorize the operation of a motel at
the existing apartment complex located at 14800 Interurban Avenue in Tukwila.
Notwithstanding the sense of urgency expressed in your letter dated August 12,
1976 and addressed to me, I regretfully must inform you of the requirement that
a public hearing be conducted by the Planning Commission prior to any decision
on the application. Such public hearing is required by local ordinance to be
published at least once and at least fifteen days in advance of the date of
such hearing. Unfortunately, these two requirements are rigid and cannot be
bent.
I will hold' your application in abeyance until Thursday, September 2, 1976, at
which time I will consider the application withdrawn unless I receive written
direction from you to proceed with the application process. The September 2nd
deadline is necessary to meet the publication requirements for the regular
September meeting of the Planning Commission, September 23, 1976.
Should you have any questions or if I may be of any assistance, please contact
me at your convenience.
