One year ago their president wrote a letter to the Council about this issue. They were assured the project would be started this year, and that the estimated completion date was September 3. So far, nothing has been done. They feel they have been given the run around for the past two years. She asked for a letter from the City about this project. Byron Sneva, Public Works Director, explained that the pro- ject is still under review. It has been divided into two stages the signal system at the intersection of Macadam Road and Southcenter Boulevard and the street construction itself. The signal project is about ready to be advertised for bids. this project is on the schedule and they are pro- ceeding as quickly as possible. Councilman Duffie asked that Administration keep the Condominium Owners abreast of the progress. Mrs. Steiger commented that this is an area where they have faulted the City and said if there is a change, it should be communicated to the citizens so they don't get angry.

Request from Roy Martin, 15665 So. 178th, for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map from Low Density Residential to Office and an amendment to the zoning designa- tion from R -A to P -0 for 1.6 acres. Vernon Umetsu, Associate Planner, explained that Mr. Mrs. Roy Martin of 15665 So. 178th have requested a change in the Comprehensive Plan from low density residential to office and to amend site zoning from R -A (Agriculture) to P -0 (Professional /Office) for 1.6 acres. This request came before the Planning Commission on June 25, 1987. The recom- mendation of approval by the Planning Commission was entered for the record along with a letter dated July 31, 1987, from Roger J. Blaylock of The Blaylock Company. Mr. Blaylock states, in part, that the Martins had never considered a multiple family development. Their sole purpose was to rezone the property into the best use and allow professional office. The Martins will voluntarily place restrictive cove- nants excluding any residential development of their property based on the following two assumptions. First, the single family residence can continue to be occupied until the site is redeveloped. Secondly, there will be no time limitations on the pending rezone action. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING August 3, 1987 Page 3 PUBLIC HEARING Cont. Request by R. Martin (cont.) 7:30 p.m. NEW BUSINESS Proposed Resolution adopting a voice and data communications plan for the years 1988 -1990 Resolution #1049 Providing for a general budget state- ment for 1988 Mr. Umetsu described the five voluntary conditions set on the rezone request. The Planning Commission adopted the Staff's findings and conclusions and recommends approval of the pro- posed action. The proposed zoning is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. Attorney Haney suggested that Council hear from the appli- cant. If Council agrees with the proposal, he will draw up findings and conclusions and ordinance and a concomitant zoning agreement. Mr. Umetsu recommended that single family uses be retained as permissable on the site. Mr. Blaylock, representing the Martin family, explained that the proposal supports the Comprehensive Plan because it creates a buffer between the residential to the south and the higher density commercial uses. They agree with the Planning Commission's recommendations. They feel that multi family is not appropriate. The Martins have requested that there not be a retroactive clause included in the zoning ordinance. They would like the rezoning to be permanent. There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed.
