Kjell Stoknes, OCD Director, addressed the request from the developers of the WEA and SPEEA Projects to use the public right -of -way to the west of the property for development of a private parking lot. At the time of submission of the site plan, the applicants apparently were under the assumption that they owned more property than they actually do. Mr. Stoknes recommended that the City Council not authorize the location of any private parking facilities on public rights -of -way for this property. This right -of -way fits into the 60 -foot corridor for roadway improvements and will be needed at some time in the future. Also, it is not parking that is needed to develop this project. There is 20 feet of right -of -way needed on a portion for the proposed street improvement but the Planning Commission could require this as a condition of approval for a Conditional Use Permit and it could be obtained prior to the issuance of the Building Permit. Councilman Van Dusen asked what the specific reason for not allowing them this temporary parking would be? It has been built into the plans. The development of the 60 -foot right -of -way is a long way down the road. Mr. Stoknes said it is a policy matter, and it could become precedent setting. Councilman Van Dusen stated that the City can never lose this right -of -way through adverse possession. Attorney Hard agreed that a person cannot take property away from a governmental agency by adverse possession. Councilman Johanson reminded Council that they have been asked by another developer for permission to use the right of -way. This would be the same thing. Mayor Bauch noted the differences in the two situations. One is on a right -of -way that could be used within the next five to ten years. The other is property that could be turned back but it would cause so many problems at the present time it would just muddle the situation. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING June 19, 1978 Page 2 PETITIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, APPEALS AND SIMILAR MATTERS Recommendation for water service and parking for the WEA and SPEEA Projects, Southcenter Blvd. and 52nd Ave. So. Cont. Councilman Van Dusen stated that he thinks they are the same and he asked Attorney Hard for an opinion. Attorney Hard said there are two things to ask: first, can you do it? The City has the authority to do it. Second, should you do it? It is a matter of policy are you going to be bound by it? It might be precedent setting. He advised Council not to do it at all; preserve the public right -of -way. Councilman Saul said Council should vote on each one on its own merit. We shouldn't have to have a reason why we voted one way and then vote forever that way. In this case, one involves a safety factor on an egress while the other is just additional parking. Attorney Hard stated that the facts may be different and justify a different act, but in the future, you may get someone between these two facts and they will obviously argue for the one closest to their situ- ation. Councilman Hill said the City has always had the policy to hold on to any right -of -way, because you never know when you might need it. Councilman Van Dusen said you need to set a policy and try to follow it. MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT COUNCIL CONCUR WITH THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE OCD DIRECTOR. "It is recommended that the City Council not authorize the location of any private parking facilities on public rights -of -way for this property. Further, it is recommended that this type of proposal be discouraged in the future and that the City be consistent in the application of this policy." Councilman Bohrer asked if the applicant needs to redesign his project to meet the code on the number of parking stalls? Mr. Stoknes said they only need to design one more parking stall. Councilman Bohrer stated, if the request is granted, Council is granting a benefit to an individual from public property. It is not something that every- one is free to use. MOTION CARRIED WITH HILL AND VAN DUSEN VOTING NO. MOTION CARRIED. 2/6Li Design Services Terence Monaghan, Public Works Director, recommended that Council for Southcenter Blvd.- engage U.R.S. Company as the design consultants for Southcenter Boule- Phase II and Phase III yard Phase II and Phase III projects. Phase II is from 65th Avenue South to Interurban Avenue. Phase III is for the portion of Southcenter Boulevard between 65th Avenue South and 62nd Avenue South. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT COUNCIL APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATION OF TERRY MONAGHAN AND ENGAGE U.R.S. COMPANY FOR DESIGN SERVICES FOR PHASE II AND PHASE III OF SOUTHCENTER BOULEVARD.* Councilman Bohrer asked why the survey costs for the two projects are approximately equal? The terrain to the west is much easier and smaller than that going to the east. Mr. Monaghan explained that the City will be paying for only the man -hours of survey time necessary. Councilman Bohrer said he also expected construction costs to be more to the east than to the west. Mr. Monaghan said that is correct. The $150,000 estimate for the west is probably high and the $173,000 for the east side is probably low. You will be paying on final construction costs on the portion to the east. The portion to the west will be based on the final construction estimate made at the time the design is complete. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING June 19, 1978 Page 3 ORDINANCES Ordinance #1060 regulating the construction, maintenance, and operation of a cable communication system. R -1, R -2, R -3, and R -4, (south of the elementary school) 2/C6 MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. Deputy City Attorney Hard read an ordinance of the City of Tukwila regulating ',the construction, maintenance, and operation of a cable communications system within the City of Tukwila, Washington, establishing and defining terms, conditions, rates and charges, requirements, obligations and duties, and setting forth penalties. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY TRAYNOR, THAT ORDINANCE NO. 1060 BE ADOPTED AS READ. Councilman Bohrer said he noted that the City of Issaquah runs their own TV system and were granted the right to do this by the Superior Court. At the present time, Tukwila is assisting in the cost to underground the TV cables so the City owns the conduit and the wires. Mayor Bauch asked Attorney Hard for his opinion on the clause concerning the selling, leasing, or repairing of television sets by the cable industry. Attorney Hard said that basically it is not illegal for the City to pass this clause. The purpose of it seems to be to protect the interest of persons already in the business of repairing TV sets. It is a lawful clause if Council wants to include it. Councilman Bohrer asked who will install the conduits and cables under the 1978 Undergrounding Program and was told the City will as they have done before. He wondered if the citizens in Tukwila get a lower rate because of the City participation and was told no. Councilman Bohrer suggested that the City should consider getting totally into the TV business. Mayor Bauch reminded Council that the TelePrompTer franchise has at least ten more years to run. He explained that the City has no ordinance now regulating Cable Communication Systems. Councilman Bohrer, referring to Section 7, Page 5, said he is reluctant to establish the franchise term of 15 years and again suggested the City get into the business. Councilman Traynor said this section gives the City the power to terminate the franchise if the company isn't proving the service. Mayor Bauch said this is a housekeeping ordinance to give the City the procedures to regulate the cable industry. MOTION CARRIED WITH BOHRER AND HILL VOTING NO. Ordinance MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE reclassifying property READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. from R -1 and R -3 to Deputy City Attorney Hard read an ordinance of the City of Tukwila reclassifying certain property from R -1 -12.0 and R -3 to R- 1 -9.6, R -2, R -3 and R -4 within the City of Tukwila as contained in the Planning Division Master File No. 78 -06 -R. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE ORDINANCE BE ADOPTED AS READ. Councilman Johanson asked Council to consider the egress point on this development, it goes directly onto South 153rd. If they use 153rd, it will rob us of our residential atmosphere that Council has previously decided we should be able to maintain. If you are going to run the egress out that way then do not down -zone us to R -1. He said he has found that the Planning Commission did not discuss a loop system that would egress out 152nd on the west side of the hill. He asked Council to consider a loop system that would exit only onto South 152nd to the west. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING June 19, 1978 Page 4 ORDINANCES Cont. Ordinance reclassifying property from R -1 and R -3 to R -1, R -2, R -3, and R -4, (south of the elementary school) Cont 2 /6 Mr. R. W. Thorpe, R. W. Thorpe and Associates, stated he has worked the project for a year and one -half now and feels that the question of access to 152nd was discussed and rediscussed with every department head and the Planning Commission. He said they have some design suggestions that would tend to move traffic down 62nd rather than allow them to go down South 153rd. He reminded Council that there are already 400 units of apartments existing on South 152nd. By providing through access,this development would go through that area or, if both ends were open, that traffic could come east and exit on 62nd or 153rd. He said they want to work with the City on the design of 62nd. Mr. Leonard Milbrandt stated that it is possible, through the design of the intersection, that the traffic could be routed without the capability to turn onto South 153rd. Councilman Bohrer said that the intersection under discussion has been described as probably the worst corner in town. He asked if this project fixes the corner or casts it in concrete so the City has to live with it forever? Mr. Milbrandt said that not knowing the status of South 153rd makes it difficult to propose design solutions. Mr. Terence Monaghan, Public Works Director, stated that 62nd Avenue South is to be improved by LID in 1979 and that 20 feet will be acquired along South 153rd to improve it to the full width at the same time. Sometime in the future the opening up of 62nd as a through street should be considered but it may never be a reality. Councilman Johanson said he understands that the development south of South 153rd (Black Development) is also proposing an exit onto South 153rd. Councilman Traynor said he would like someone to show him the need for more high density living in the City. He stated he walked the entire hillside, studied the plans and the location of the trees and it looks like the entire hillside will be scraped. He further looked at the plans for the Black Development and suggested that Council should take a look at both plans. Mr. Thorpe stated that an economic feasibility study shows the vacancy rate in South King County is less than one percent and a three percent vacancy is normal. There is a housing problem. Basic housing costs in this area are running $50,000. The housing in this project is proposed to start at a low $40,000. You have seen more work put into a zoning issue right here than you have ever seen. He stated that they have tried to show good faith. The market does support this type of development. Councilman Traynor again stated he is not convinced we need more high density living. Councilman Bohrer said the EIS says that 66 percent of the people in Tukwila live in high density dwellings and this is exactly opposite to all of King County: Mr. Thorpe discussed the proposed density of their development. Councilman Hill asked how you determine whether all of the rest of Tukwila should be single family. The multiple and single should be able to live in harmony. He stated that the older residents who no longer want to maintain their homes should be able to move into condominiums in Tukwila. Councilman Harris stated that we are over stocked with high density rental units, but this is the first real condominium unit that has come into town, and she said she was pleased with it. It will be home -owned instead of all transient. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING June 19, 1978 Page 5 ORDINANCES Cont. Ordinance reclassifying property from R -1 and R -3 to R -1, R -2, R -3, and R -4, (south of the elementary school) Cont. /G�7 Councilman Traynor said it is high density living no matter what you call it. Take a look at the traffic it is going to generate. I don't want to wish, on any single family home, this kind of density. The only alternative I can see is to cut South 153rd off; don't make it through. We can not just look at this development, we have to take a look at the whole area when we talk about traffic density. Mr. Milbrandt stated that there are 44 units proposed for the Black Development, 188 on ours and, based on the size of the property, probably no more than 44 on the Emke property. This makes approxi- mately 300 units exiting down 62nd compared to the 400, with a potential of 200 more, exiting down South 152nd. This gives you a feeling for your traffic flow. It is a good idea to isolate the single family and exit all the multiple down 62nd. A study in BellevuE shows that people with families are buying condominiums, because they can't afford single family homes any longer. This is the type of life style that people are looking for that can't get into a single family house. I would think you would want to encourage people to buy property and take an active interest in the community. The whole hillside will not be scraped; 52 percent of the site is open space. Of this, 2.56 acres to the front will be retained in its natural state. This will be an addition to the City we will all be proud of. Councilman Saul stated that it is going to be a nice development, but on the other hand, he said he felt a responsibility to the people who already live there. If Council passes this, we are going to have to look at the single family area and tell the people they can't be single family anymore. Councilman Bohrer said there are a number of things he likes about the project the condominium aspect, the open space, the trails and some of the buildings. He continued that he also has a great deal of problem with it, particularly with the Environmental Impact Statement. It does not really treat fairly what he considers the environmental impacts and what Council has considered before. It is described as being on the south face of the Tukwila hill. It is not; it is on the crest of the south hill. Councilman Bohrer discussed the view of the proposed buildings from the various sides. Looking at the vegetation, there are a lot of deciduous trees that will lose their leaves for part of the year and do no screening. The impression is not going to be that the trees have been preserved but rather, where the hillside has been stripped. When Council was considering the Comprehensive Plan Map, there was discussion on where the dividing linE should be between single family and multiple family residences. At onE time, we were saying it should be set down over the crest of the hill. This one really moves it back over the crest. When we consider this development, we have to consider all of the surrounding properties. And finally, why are we here without a waiver to Ordinance No. 1035? Ordinance 1035 says that an area that has a designation of being environmentally sensitive requires a waiver. Mayor Bauch explained that this is a rezone action; Ordinance No. 1035 does not preclude someone asking for a rezone. Mr. Stoknes said that was intended for the time when a building permit is applied for. If taken literally, it could come back to Council again, but it should be considered in the approval of the rezone. Mayor Bauch explained that this rezone has to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan or the Plan has to be amended. Councilman Bohrer said his interpretation is that it is not in compliance with the map. There is no place in the material furnished that the contours of the Comprehensive Plan Map are overlayed with the contours requested in this rezone. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING June 19, 1978 Page 6 ORDINANCES Cont. Ordinance reclassifying property from R -1 and R -3 to R -1, R -2, R -3, and R -4, (south of the elementary school) Cont. 2/6c6 Mr. Thorpe stated that this has been reviewed with both the Planning Commission and the Council. As the Planning Director noted, the original Comprehensive Plan was done from aerials shot when there was considerable vegetation. There is significant error in those. A complete survey by their engineers determined where the ridge line is. He explained that he went to the Planning Staff and made the specific request for a determination on the issue of the ridge line. He was told that it had been discussed, and their plan (proposed development) was in general compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. It has been designed so that the ridge line runs right down where the four plexes and duplexes are. We all sat through this several times while you discussed the Comprehensive Plan, and you talked about the very issues you are talking about tonight. I was under the impression when the plan was adopted that it was your intent to guide the City. Now we are back with a proposal we thought complied with the Comprehensive Plan. Now we are going back to the question as to whether we are compatible with the Comprehensive Plan. Councilman Bohrer said it is his interpretation that we have, in this proposal, an advocates' interpretation of the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Stoknes discussed the location of the high, medium, and low density areason the Comprehensive Map. He said the applicant demonstrated that the knolls are actually further north and, through the policies, the lines should be further north. Based on their contour maps, staff felt it was a reasonable interpretation of the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission supported this. Councilman Traynor said he looked at the drawing and that was what he meant. Councilman Hill said he thought it was from the ridge line. Where it shows on the map is where we thought it was but, if actually it is further north, he said he thought it was Council's intention to follow the ridge line. Councilman Bohrer said he is not disbuting where the ridge line is, but Council said they will consider where they think the ridge line is and will draw the contours for the densities with that as a reference but not rigidly prescribed as the ridge line. Councilman Traynor said he is concerned about the fire flows. Maybe this problem should be addressed now. Councilman Hill asked if this wouldn't be settled at the time they get the building permit. Hubert Crawley, Fire Chief, said the thing to take into considera- tion is that the project may have to be altered due to inadequate fire flows. We don't know whether the water is there or not. Mr. Dave Halinen, engineer for TRIAD and Associates, explained the location of the four water mains in the area of the site. They are proposing that the four mains be linked to improve the fire flows. A detailed study to determine the exact flow that could be obtained would be expensive, and they felt it shouldn't be taken on by the applicant at this time. Since neighboring developments would benefit by the study, it would be reasonable for the City to participate and then charge the neighboring properties when they obtain a building permit. If the fire flow is found inadequate, there are other alternatives. This problem is not unworkable. Attorney Hard asked everyone who speaks to identify themselves and give their address. Councilman Johanson said he knows it has been a policy of the City for a long time and that is, developers develop in total. If they need something additional, they develop it.

Ordinance reclassifying property from R -1 and R -3 to R -1, R -2, R -3 and R -4, (south of the elementary school) Continued. 2I Mr. Halinen said they are not asking the City to increase the facilities for this development. It was just a suggestion if a study was necessary. Councilman Van Dusen said his input to the discussion is tying down some of the stipulations to the ordinance. He sighted Item f on "Planning Commission review" and said the type of building materials the applicant is going to use is missing. This would give them some type of a guide to review by. Mr. Leonard Milbrandt, representing the Architects, McClarty and Johnson, said the construction is Type 5 which is wood frame construction. The duplexes and fourplexes are Type 5N (nonrated). This is standard residential construction. The higher density buildings are one -hour. This is also normal construciton. Councilman Van Dusen said if this is in the code he doesn't want to include it. What kind of exterior? Mr. Milbrandt said in the R -2 and R -3 zones they would have wood siding of a lapboard nature. Cedar shingles are indicated in the duplex zone. The R -3 zone would have diagonal cedar siding. The R -4 zone, building Type C, would have wood siding also. The three major buildings would be a combination of stucko and wood. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE TYPES OF BUILDING MATERIALS BE INCLUDED IN SECTION f. Councilman Bohrer said that Section f, to him, already says Planning Commission review of building materials. Councilman Van Dusen said he wants the type of material included. Councilman Johanson said if your going to specify the material maybe you don't need Planning Commission review. ROLL CALL VOTE: YES HARRIS, HILL, SAUL, VAN DUSEN NO BOHRER, JOHANSON, TRAYNOR. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Van Dusen said his next concern is the street. Mr. Monaghan said it is proposed as a private access. We can require that it be developed to certain standards. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE PRIMARY NORTH /SOUTH ROAD, BEGINNING AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE SITE AND ENDING AT THE CUL -DE -SAC AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE SITE, SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED TO STANDARDS REQUIRED IN THE TUKWILA SUBDIVISION CODE. Councilman Traynor asked if this motion would foul -up the site plan. Mr. Stoknes pointed out the motion said "should This would give Public Works the option to allow for deviation. Councilman Johanson asked if this sets the road in that position? Councilman Van Dusen said NO. Councilman Johanson did not agree. Mr. Halinen, TRIAD associates, expressed concern about including the road since the Public Works Department would have sufficient review authority. He is concerned that things might become rather inflexible. Mr. Monaghan sighted the minimum standards and suggested amending the motion to add "upon approval of the site plan." Councilman Johanson said when the street was recommended as a through street it was presented by Staff. This was Staff talking. He said he would like to think he was speaking for the citizens that live there and that is to limit access in residential areas. He is concerned about leaving this decision to Staff. Councilman Traynor said that one of the criteria in reviewing street plans has been to eliminate the through streets to keep traffic from taking a short cut across the hill. Mr. Stoknes clarified that the Planning Staff and Planning Commission were both of the same opinion on the circulation of this street. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING June 19, 1978 Page 8 ORDINANCES Cont. 2/ 70 Ordinance Councilman Van Dusen and Councilman Harris agreed that the wording, reclassifying property "upon approval of the site plan" be added to the motion. from R -1 and R -3 to R -1, R -2, R -3 and ROLL CALL VOTE: YES BOHRER, HARRIS, TRAYNOR, VAN DUSEN R -4, (south of the NO HILL, JOHANSON, SAUL elementary school) MOTION CARRIED. Continued. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE UTILITIES BE CONSTRUCTED TO CITY STANDARDS AND, WHERE NOT LOCATED IN PUBLIC RIGHT -OF -WAY, AN ACCESS AND MAINTENANCE EASEMENT SHALL BE PROVIDED TO THE CITY. Councilman Traynor stated it is obvious that this development has to have hydrants and you have to have access. Mr. Monaghan said the site plan and utility plan have not been developed. Until we have a site plan it is conceivable that some of the utilities we have to maintain will be located off the traveled right -of -way. If they are not dedicated to the City, we should have easements. Councilman Hill said he is concerned about the City having to maintain the utilities right up to the buildings. Mr. Monaghan said this doesn't obligate us, just provides the mechanism to obtain the right -of -way if it is necessary. Councilman Harris stated that this is quite important. This is not going to be a one owner apartment complex. Mr. Halinen said they will loop the system therefore he assumed the lines would be dedicated to the City and the City would have easements for maintenance. MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE STREET AND UTILITIES BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY AFTER THEY ARE CONSTRUCTED AND ACCEPTED. Attorney Hard said he is getting concerned because this is only an ordinance to rezone the property. You are putting restrictions on that are more properly handled some other way. For example, you maybe requiring that the arterial be located there. Worried that you are going beyond the proper domain of this ordinance. At this point your talking only about a rezone. Your function is to be sure that the public's health, safety and welfare is protected. Your job is to be sure they will be. Mr. Monaghan suggested that Council could authorize the Public Uorks Director to require a dedication of the street in the interest of the City. Mayor Bauch said he thought the street should be built to City standards but they don't necessarily have to dedicate it to the City. If the people want to control the street they should have the right. MOTION FAILED Councilman Van Dusen made a motion (but failed to receive a second) that a ten foot public access be provided to the City on the northeast portion of the property connecting 62nd Avenue South to Tukwila Elementary School. Mr. Thorpe said this had been discussed and was all right with them. Councilman Traynor commented that Council is now back to the original motion. He has looked at the Comprehensive Land Use Map and, no way, can he relate this rezone request to the map. Councilman Van Dusen said that if you look specifically at the map that is right but if you look at the goals and policies it is a different story. Councilman Saul asked if this property was ever more than R -1 and was told a portion was R -3. Attorney Hard told Council that they are required by a recent opinion of the Supreme Court to specifically state the reason or conclusion for theiraction. You can not simply vote yes or no on this ordinance. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING June 19, 1978 Page 9 ORDINANCES Cont. Ordinance ROLL CALL VOTE TO ADOPT THE ORDINANCE AS AMENDED: reclassifying property from R -1 and R -3 to R -1, R -2, R -3 and R -4, (south of the elementary school) Continued. RECESS: 9:45 P.M. 9:55 P.M. Ordinance #1061 Requiring the installation of smoke detectors. BOHRER NO, my reasons are: 1. I do not find the zoning requested in compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Map. 2. I do not think the environmental impact statement addresses adequately a number of factors. One of these is drainage. 3. A large part of the site will be cleared and the views from the single family areas will be buildings, not vegetation. 4. I do not feel we have adequately resolved the issue of access to the development. In terms of the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, the applicant has not proven that he is adequately avoiding development on steep slopes. HARRIS YES, because I think the intent of the Comprehensive Plan was to follow the curve of the ridge. HILL YES, I'll agree that there are some points that need clarification but I don't feel that these can't be worked out by the Staff and the Developer. When the Comprehensive Plan was adopted there was a question on the ridge line in this area. The development is one of the best I've seen in the City. It makes a transition from high density to low. I'll agree there has got to be some way to work out the traffic flow down 62nd. I think it would be a good project. JOHANSON NO, some of the reasons, I've already stated, for relocating the egress road. It does affect individual areas and creates less than a desirable atmosphere in that particular area. We have additional developments in the area that haven't been addressed. After any rezone of this property, I lose some control. The other areas have already been stipulated by Mr. Bohrer. I'm concerned about the 16 percent grade. I just can't vote for it in good faith. SAUL NO, I feel most of the land has been R -1 and should remain so. It is an encroachment on the hill residents. It does not follow close enough to the Comprehensive Plan. TRAYNOR NO, it does not show the need for more high density living in the City of Tukwila. It does not review the Comprehensive Plan. VAN DUSEN YES, because I feel it follows the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. They have presented an excellent plan that a lot of work and thought went into. Also, economic situations are going to require this kind of developments. MOTION FAILED: 4 NO 3 YES MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT COUNCIL RECESS FOR TEN MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED.

Hubert Crawley, Fire Chief, questioned if it was necessary to include it in the ordinance. Mayor Bauch stated this might cause confusion as the U.B.C., under the Building Department, covers all new buildings. There is quite a range of responsibility between the Building Department and the Fire Department. Councilman Van Dusen asked if the Fire Department doesn't check all smoke detectors in new buildings. Chief Crawley said they do it but it is under the building code. MOTION FAILED. 2172 Councilman Bohrer explained that on May 22nd the ordinance was sent to the Public Safety and Health Committee, then back to Council on June 12th where a Public Hearing was set for June 26th. Since the Public Hearing has not been advertised, he said he didn't believe a Public Hearing was absolutely essential and he had no problem with the alternatives selected by Countil Part of the reason for the Public Hearing was for public education. Councilman Bohrer suggested a motion to substitute the word "alarm" for'Uetector" in the ordinance. There was no second.
