Mayor Bauch stated that the purpose of the Public Hearing is to consider
the proposition that upon annexation all land within the annexed area
will be considered unclassified. Property in the unclassified area
is subject to the restrictions of single family residence until such
time as the Planning Commission makes their zoning recommendations to
the City Council and the Council adopts a zoning map. The Public
Hearing tonight is on this process, it is not to consider the zoning
on specific parcels of property but to consider whether it should be
unclassified or not. This is the first of two Public Hearings to
be held prior to the election.
With this, Mayor Bauch declared the Public Hearing open.
Henry Rostad, Rostad Realty, 925 Securities Building, Seattle, said
he has been involved in the area for 25 years with sales, rentals and
management of property. He questioned the line of demarcation being
shown as South 126th, then changed to South 124th. Just south of
here is a 7 acre tract designated for Heavy Manufacturing. Also, the
Rainier Bank Facility lies in this area. The unclassified procedure is
time consuming and can be upsetting to those who have planned structures
for their property. To stop the trend away from single residence,
which apparently is behind this, is very drastic. The Riverton area
lends itself to Industrial usage. Mr. Rostad identified, on the map,
the areas he has directly been involved with.

John Calkins, 4066 So. 128th, noted that Quarry Hill cuts noise from
the Metro Facility and protects from further development. He said he
would like the demarcation line at So. 124th. It is time to stop
industrial development.
Mayor Bauch reminded the audience that the unclassified is strictly an
interim classification. It would probably take three to six months
for the zoning procedure.
Francis Cummings, 3909 So. 117th St., said he lives in the residential
area on the northeast side of the proposed annexation. This area has
always been part of Duwamish /Allentown and it would be intolerable to
split it up. If Tukwila is going to take North Riverton they should
also take the Duwamish /Allentown area. The Fire Department and Water
Department serve both sides of the river. He said he would hate to
see the area divided into two neighborhoods. He would like to see
it stay strictly residential in the area east of Interurban Avenue
to the river.
E. E. Rosatto, 927 So. 294th Pl., Federal Way, said he is here in
opposition. He has one quarter interest in twenty -two acres between
Duwamish River and 116th Street; Pacific Highway South and East Marginal
Way. On the Highline Community Plan it is designated Heavy Industry.
On the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan it is Light Industry. He asked
why the City does not adopt the zoning ordinance now instead of
going unclassified. He stated he does not believe people know what
Tukwila Ordinance #654 says.
Mayor Bauch again reminded the people that unclassified is only an
interim classification. Mr. Rosatto asked if the City Attorney
advises that this is legal and was told that he does. Mr. Rosatto
said that this is after the fact, it is inverse condemnation. The
City has already implied that the property is going to be Light Industry.
Mrs. Sharon Mann, 3404 So. 126th, asked why everyone is in a hurry
to get rezones to Heavy Industry. The citizens and residents of the
area want to go on with the annexation. Tukwila will take time and
plan the area. The County is spot zoning the neighborhood. Tukwila
will make it liveable for both industry and residence. They like the
idea that they can own larger lots. She stated that the line of
demarcation is at So. 124th, the homes are to this street. It is not
normal for heavy manufacturing to abut single family residence. We
are asking Tukwila to go on with the annexation as unclassified.
Raymond Drebin, Property Supervisor for Metro, read a letter to the
City Council from Theodore W. Mallory, Director of Technical Services.
The letter expressed concern over the land within the annexed area
being considered unclassified. Metro has 14 million dollars invested
in land and improvements at the South Base and Maintenance Center.
They would prefer not to be affected by any change which would downgrade
the present zoning for any length of time. They suggested that the
potential zoning change not be applicable to the Metro property but
that it remain Light Industrial if the area is annexed into Tukwila.
If the resolution cannot be amended, they requested that the proposed
annexation be changed to eliminate the Metro property.
Steve Crary, 34th Floor Rainier Tower, Attorney representing Rainier
Bank, said the Bank has 800 to 900 employees at the Operations Center
located on a ten acre tract in the proposed annexation area. They
are planning to expand the facility and are concerned about the ability
to do so. If the area is treated as unclassified it would take at
least a year before they could make their decisions. The delay would
be unreasonable and burdensome on the Bank. He suggested that some
area be exempt from the area subject to single family residential
restrictions so that development can continue.
Mrs. Sharon Mann stated that if Council exempts anybody they are,
at that time, making a zoning decision.

Mrs. Sharon Bernhardt, 3418 So. 126th, speaking as a resident of the
area said that time is of the essence. The process of annexation
should not be delayed. Each month that goes by the possibility of
more manufacturing uses becomes a reality. The reason the
annexation was begun was because of the land use changes taking place.
Tukwila can stabilize the growth in such a way that the Community and
the Businesses can operate together without flowing into the residential
areas. The longer the delay in the annexation, the greater risk
in losing the single family homes.
E. E. Rosatto asked Council to eliminate them from the annexation plan.
Mayor Bauch said that Council did not set the boundaries. They only
accept or reject the petitions.
Mrs. Sharon Bernhardt said the boundaries were set to include only
the Riverton and Quarry voting precincts.
A. R. Horrocks, 13212 40th So., said he supports the unclassified
land use. The current development is not very well organized. The
reason for coming to Tukwila is to try and get some organization into
the zoning. To exempt Metro or Rainier Bank is to allow everyone
with special interests to be exempt. We need to study this carefully.
Mrs. Joanne Poirier, 13405 42nd So., explained the procedure followed
ten years ago during the discussion on the Stadium issue. The area
has been deemed Industrial Land for the last 15 or 20 years. She said
she has been told that many of the homes up to So. 130th will not pass
the City of Seattle building, electrical or plumbing codes. Many
of the homes were threatened with closure because of their sewer
problems. The developers have been waiting for the sewers to go
through. She suggested 'Grandfathering' the homes and not the industry
to solve part of the problem. Council does not have an easy decision.
Let the area build with industry that is compatable with the
neighborhood.
Victor Petro, 3600 So. 124th, said he owns seven acres south of South
124th and has a truck terminal north of South 124th. He bought the
property several years ago as Industrial and intends to use it as
Industrial property. They have spent over $70,000 to put a storm
drain in according to County Code. So far, they have paid $80,000
to upgrade South 124th and $85,000 to install a sewer lift station.
He said he bought the property as Industrial and doesn't think it
right to take the zoning he already has away. To downzone the
property is to take away his right. He stated he is opposed to the
annexation.
Curtiss Robinson, 13422 40th So., asked why the Industrial interests
in the area are afraid to come into Tukwila. They have nothing to
fear. Council will take all things into consideration. They do not
intend to downzone areas that are obviously Industrial. The
citizens feel that there is irresponsible and haphazard zoning going
on in this area. The present Industrial users are protected, they
have vested interests. The speculators could feel threatened. They
have bought property with the idea of it being upzoned. Council will
have to decide whether they want to protect the voters (the people
who live there) or the people who are speculators. He said the first
responsibility should be to the voters. Their chances are better
with Tukwila determining the future of the area.
Henry Rostad noted that there are large tracts of property within this
area that have been in the same families for many years. Other
large tracts have been bought by Companies for specific uses. The
Hill was not bought for speculation, it was bought for use as a
"gravelpit" (bulk soil material to be removed from the premises).
There will be a berm along So. 124th to protect the single family
residence. The County has done quite a job to protect there has
not been haphazard development.

Donald Nicholson, 3810 So. 130th, said he has lived in the area for
14 years. During this time there has been a gradual attrition and
degradation of the area because of the encroachment of industry
from the north. There is increased traffic,noise, lighting and
dust. He said they have attended numerous County rezoning Public
Hearings and have come out the losers too often. He said he supports
the annexation of the North Riverton Area. The more rapidly the
annexation takes place, the better.
Mrs. Shirley Robinson, 13422 40th So., urged Council to proceed with
the annexation as soon as possible. Doing the zoning after the annex-
ation will be more fair to everyone. The residents of the area started
the annexation proceedings to protect their homes. If the property
is run down it is because industry is threatening the area and
the people know the County will not stand behind them to save it.
Edmond J. Becker said he owns property on East Marginal Way South at
the corner of So. 128th. He said he has been told that the neighborhood
has been going down hill for the past forty years. The property left
as single family residence is rather useless.
Jacob Sturgeon, property owner at 13232 40th So., said he also
operates Jake's Used TV and Appliances at 12924 East Marginal Way
South. He said East Marginal Way is not in Tukwila, Interurban is.
He would rather have East Marginal Way the way it is developed
than have it look like Interurban.
Robert Kent, 4116 So. 131st, said their area is getting noisy and
there is an increase in traffic.
John Romero, 13308 -42nd So., said he has lived and worked in the area
for ten years. The people have helped him develop his home and the
neighbors have helped with his family people help people. This
is the way this area is. It's a real Community. He stated he
supports the annexation.
Mrs. Sharon Bernhardt stated that this is not a declining neighbor-
hood. The roads are being ruined by truck traffic. She asked
Council if it would be improper to spend the time and money going
through the zoning process prior to annexation.
Mayor Bauch said it would not be improper. This was an option the
petitioners had to make.
Vern Lautenschlager, 13243 -40th So., said he has lived in the area
about 14 years. He said until recently he has not been aware of
what was going on in his area. He said he would like to have
someone come in and plan the future development so he supports the
annexation to Tukwila.
John Welch, 2700 So. 133rd, said he owns two parcels in this area.
They have had a Comprehensive Plan of the area for many years. He
stated he is opposed to the annexation. The business community has
created jobs.
Mrs. A.J. Kent, 4116 So. 131st said she can't understand why they
are talking about annexation when the majority of the people in
the area haven't had their say. People were not aware this was
happening. More people in Riverton should have a chance to work
out the zoning and land use.
Mayor Bauch reminded her that there will be Public Hearings on the
annexation.
Mrs. Kent stated that this is about the only area left for Industry
to creep. It is too bad in a residential area but almost impossible
for it not to happen because they have to go somewhere. She added
that she sees no reason why the big trucks need to go up her street.

Mrs. Sharon Mann stated that those who are concerned watch the areas
close to them.
Mrs. Amy Bohn, 13111 -42nd So. said it is her desire that the area
being discussed is annexed to the City of Tukwila as soon as possible.
Fred Terrile, 17841 -2nd So., said he recognizes the problem of the
residential area but they also have a problem. His family bought
their property in about 1928. It is no longer suitable for farming.
He doesn't like the idea of it being considered single family residential.
Michael Willard, 3224 So. 126th, said he owns 20 acres between So.
124th and So. 126th boundered by Highway 99. When he bought it, it had
commercial zoning. He stated he is against the annexation and the
change of zoning to single family.
Mayor Bauch again clarified that the property would remain unclassified
only until it can be classified. There is no intention to turn it all
back to single family residential. There seems to be a misunderstanding
on this point.
Ray J. Rosatto, 10818 Des Moines Way South, stated he is opposed to
the annexation. The area is too far away.
P.E. Palmer, 12525 -37th So., said he favors the annexation, the sooner
the better. The home owners living in the area keep their houses
up very well, it is the owners that do not live here that do not
keep their property up. It looks like the people who live in Riverton
seem to be in favor of annexation and the people who don't live there
are opposed.
Bruch Hanson, 29407 S.E. 111th, Auburn, said he is the owner of
Boulevard Excavating. It is his opinion that before they go into the
annexation they should see what the zoning is going to be, not the
other way around.
There being no further comment from the audience, Mayor Bauch declared
the Public Hearing closed. He reminded the audience that the law
requires a second hearing on the unclassified proposal.
Mayor Bauch announced that the City Council will meet with Fire District
#18 on November 15th, 7:00 p.m., at Southgate Community Center. The
purpose of the Public Meeting is to discuss fire protection for
the proposed annexation area.
MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT COUNCIL RECESS FOR TEN MINUTES.
MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Bauch called the regular meeting of the Tukwila City Council back

Mrs. Joanne Davis, 5906 So. 144th,audience, said that with a full

in the back row. Only after she moved to a seat against the back
wall could she see.

Mrs. Joanne Davis said that some of her neighbors feel there must be

it down or moving it out. To rebuild this building would cost a lot
of money.
MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE POLICE STATION
BUILDING AND THE FINANCE TRAILER BE DECLARED SURPLUS.*
Councilman Hill said he can't see getting rid of the Police Station
Building if a use could be found for it. Councilman Van Dusen noted
that the condition of the building is not good but if it is going to
be kept for use it should be moved. Councilman Harris said she
doesn't want it left on the site either.
Councilman Hill asked for an explaination of the change orders. Mr.
Monaghan said they were for additional catchbasins, 150 feet of
perforated drain, fotocells for the street lights, and an extra thick
layer of concrete. $103,000 of the total cost will be reimbursed
with Federal funds.
Councilman Johanson asked what the urgency to get rid of it is. Mayor
Bauch said there is no particular except it has to be maintained. He
said he is not willing to spend additional money on it when there is
no apparent use for it. He is willing to listen to any proposal for use.
Councilman Traynor said that since the City has purchased Southgate
he can't see what the building would be used for.
Councilman Saul asked if this should be sent to the Park Board. Mayor
Bauch reminded Council that the Park Board has already approved the
