COMMENTS--Mr. Charles Gordon, Attorney for Daniel Boone Paints, 945 88th N.E., Bellevue, WA - Facility was purchased as a paint operations facility, as an allowable use in the City. Self evident by Highway Safety Products as far back as 19.72 and Far.West Manufacturing before that. - Daniel Boone Paint's intent is to continue precise same paint processing activities with'certain exceptions. For example, the City's request for Daniel Boone Paints to install a sprinkler system and remove sane structures, which were done in good faith and at substantial expense of Daniel Boone Paints in order to became a good neighbor in the community. Use of structure has never. ceased, sale was delayed through bankruptcy and economic times.

Application 82 -6 -A, Western Pacific.Properties requesting approval of Tukwila zoning classification for various properties proposed to be annexed to the City. Said properties are generally located on 48th Avenue South between South 135th and South 134th Street. Ns. Berry presented the supplemental staff report concerning zoning for the proposed annexation area. Mr. Bill Turner, resident, 13435 48th Ave. South, Tukwila, WA., not that he is a.resident in the proposed annexation area. He has a petition signed by 37 persons who do not desire the zoning of the proposed annexation area to be changed. Not that 40th Ave. S. is really 20 feet rather than 40 feet as Shown on the staff report. Mr. Collins clarified that the 40 feet represents the right-of-way not necessarily the street. Many of the people would agree to R-2 for the area. Mr. Richard Barene, property caner, 13423 48th Ave. S., Seattle, WA., would like to go on record in favor of that the whole area be annexed to Tukwila as CM or M-1. .Owns approximately 25% of proposed annexation area in question:. Mr: Matt Little, Western Pacific Properties Representative for the original three parties who proposed the annexation, 13975 Interurban Ave., Tukwila, WA views either staff exhibit "A" or "B" as acceptable methods of zoning, however, prefers "B" in that it designates the entire proposed annexation area as CM. The setbacks between single family and light industry classifications are greater in exhibit "B." The street appears to be a natural be ndaxy.. Noted, Mayor Van Dusen and Councilperson Phelps waived the surveyor fees in order to include the additional area in the proposed annexation. Mr. Collins clarified that staff is only recommending exhibit "B" not "A." ,Exhibit. "A" is included for purposes of illustration of setbacks, as they compare to Exhibit "B."
