MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Duffie declared the Public Hearing open on the 6 Year Transportation Improvement Program. Councilman Simpson reported that the Transportation Committee has reviewed the T.I.P. and has sent it forward to Council with their approval. Ross Earnst, City engineer, reviewed each project on the T.I.P. and noted those that are new or have changed priority since last year. He noted that, by State Law, the T.I.P. must be adopted prior to July 1. Charles Tyson, 14458 57th Ave. So., asked if some of the pro- jects in the business area are going ahead before the resi- dential area is completed. Councilman Bauch explained that there are residential projects which will go along at the TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING June 15, 1987 Page 2 PUBLIC HEARINGS 6 Year Transportation Improvement Program (cont.) OLD BUSINESS Fire District #1 Consultant Contract for EIS same time as those in the business district. Mr. Tyson asked, once the residential projects on the map are completed is all of the residential area finished. Councilman Bauch explained that there are new projects added on each year. Councilman McKenna asked if the City is dealing with the pedestrian traffic on Priority No. 16, Klickitat Drive. There are a lot of people that use this street. Why build a street, then have to change it later. Mr. Earnst said this would be added to this years project and the cost would be amended. Mr. Tyson asked how many dollars were committed as a result of the boundary realignment with Renton. Mr. Earnst explained that there were no dollars committed. The project is estimated at $7.3 million. It will never be built if it has to be all City funds; there will have to be some grant involved. The agreement with Renton is that we would split the local match. Mr. Tyson asked if the City has legally obligated itself to provide the street outlined in the plan. Mr. Earnst said, no. Councilman McKenna asked if there are any priorities for the construction of business versus residential street projects. Mr. Earnst explained that some of the Commercial Streets are put in to be ready if the opportunity arises to apply for funding. Generally, one residential street project is planned for each year. There being no further comments on the 6 Year Transportation Improvement Program, the public hearing was closed. A reso- lution for adoption of the program will be on the agenda for a Special Meeting next Monday. Council Member Stoknes said she would like a tour of the City that would highlight the street projects. A tour was set for Monday, June 29, at 5:45 p.m. This item is to authorize the Mayor to execute a consultant contract for the EIS for the proposed annexation of Fire District #1 and direct the City Attorney to draft an ordi- nance to amend the budget to cover the scope of work. MOVED BY BAUCH, SECONDED BY MCKENNA, THAT OPTIONS 2 (COMMUNITY SURVEY, MEETINGS AND PUBLICATIONS $10,653) AND 4 (PROJECTED BUDGET AMENDMENT ANALYSIS $5,826) BE ELIMINATED.* Councilman Simpson suggested that out of Option 2, only the Community Survey should be eliminated. Councilman McKenna commented that the consultant should not be the one meeting with the Community Groups. The City has to be the one who contacts the Community, but this shouldn't have to be in a budget. Don Morrison said Mayor Van Dusen is very interested in an open and participative process; he would like to see all of the elements included. Councilman Bauch explained that a community survey is not the purpose of the Environmental Impact Statement. Concerning Option 4, he said that it is not necessary to provide for the budget amendment prior to a vote. *MOTION CARRIED WITH DUFFIE VOTING NO. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING June 15, 1987 Page 3 OLD BUSINESS Fire District #1 Consultant Contract for EIS (cont.) NEW BUSINESS Approve preliminary plat for Silverview Dev. (located south- west of the Slade Way/ 54th Ave. So. inter- section) 3 MOVED BY BAUCH, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, THAT THE MAYOR BE AUTHORIZED TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT WITH CCA, INC. MOTION CARRIED. Attorney Haney will provide the budget amendment to cover the scope of work for the EIS. Moira Bradshaw, Associate Planner, explained that this is a preliminary plat application for 7.10 acres. The Planning Commission recommended approval subject to 10 conditions. The Community Affairs Committee recommended no changes to the Planning Commission's conditions. Council must hold a Public Hearing if they are going to make any changes to the con- ditions. This property is located southwest of Slade Way. There are provisions for a left turn lane off of Klickitat and a sidewalk agreement for 54th Ave. So. The Preliminary Plat is for a 22 single- family lot subdivision. All of the lots meet the required minimum lot area. A cul -de -sac street is being proposed. The properties to the west and south are developed preventing a through street from being developed. The overall length of the cul -de -sac exceeds 600 feet which is the maximum standard in the code. The Planning Commission approved the 625 feet. Mrs. Bradshaw entered, for the record, the findings and conclusions along with recommen- dations from the Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated May 19, 1987. Councilman Bauch noted that the Community Affairs Committee reviewed the proposal in detail and recommended that Council approve it. Councilman McKenna asked how preserving the trees is moni- tored. If some of them are cut down, is there anything the City can do about it. Is there any penalty. Attorney Haney explained that when Council approves a Preliminary Plat, it is subjecting the Plat to all of the conditions that were approved. The condition of approving the final plat is compliance with all of the conditions. He suggested Council look at some bonding provisions for the improvement. Councilman Duffie concurred. This has happened to the City before. We have to start protecting the hillside. Mrs. Bradshaw explained that in the memorandum of May 28, 1987, there were 11 revised approval conditions. The Planning Commission adopted these without No. 6 (adjust lot lines to widen pipe stem entrances to lots as demonstrated in Attachment B). The actual conditions to be attached to the plat are listed in the Memorandum of May 28, 1987. MOVED BY BAUCH, SECONDED BY MCKENNA, THAT COUNCIL ACCEPT THE FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON THE SILVERVIEW PRELIMINARY PLAT; THAT WE WAIVE THE 600 FOOT CUL -DE -SAC REQUIREMENT AND ACCEPT THE REVISED APPROVED CONDITIONS EXCEPT FOR CONDITION NO. 6. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman McKenna commented that he is pleased to see single family development. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING June 15, 1987 Page 4 NEW BUSINESS Approve final plat for Mapletree Park Development Approve sewer connections for single family residences outside the City Limits Resolution #1043 Pertaining to the commuter rail demon- stration project feasibility plan for the Green River Valley REPORTS Increase in Metro Charges ADJOURNMENT 8:33 p.m. Moira Bradshaw explained that Mapletree Park is a 14 single family lot development that has completed the improvements and are ready to have the final plat approved. Public Works has signed off on the plat and the streets and utilities are ready for dedication. The owner has submitted a bond to cover landscaping. The Planning Commission reviewed this and recommended approval. MOVED BY SIMPSON, SECONDED BY STOKNES, THAT COUNCIL ACCEPT THE FINAL PLAT FOR THE MAPLETREE PARK DEVELOPMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE FORM. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Duffie commented that it is really nice to have a single family development coming into the City. The City has received the requests from property owners out- side the City Limits to connect homes on their property to the City sewer system. Councilman Simpson explained that the Utilities Committee has reviewed this and sends it forward with the recommendation to approve. The existing sewer system was built by the City under LID 18 and serves an area outside the City Limits. The City has an obligation to serve the two single family homes. MOVED BY SIMPSON, SECONDED BY MCKENNA, THAT COUNCIL APPROVE THE CONNECTIONS AND AUTHORIZE EXECUTION OF THE SEWER SERVICE CONTRACT SUBJECT TO SOME MINOR REVISIONS BY THE CITY ATTORNEY. MOTION CARRIED. Gary Madison, 631 Morris Ave. So., Renton, thanked Council for the approval to connect. He intends to move a house onto the property at 13620 52nd Ave. So. Blanche Peters, 14242 52nd Ave. So., said they are having a relatively new home put on this lot, and they are happy to receive approval to connect to the City sewer system.

City Attorney Haney read a resolution of the City Council of the City of Tukwila, Wash., pertaining to the commuter rail demonstration project feasibility plan for the Green River Valley, and encouraging and promoting the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle to proceed with swiftness toward the earliest possible completion and implementation of a rail demonstration project.
