MOVED BY VAN DUSEN, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT ORDINANCE NO. 1088 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Councilman Saul asked about Section 2, Items "a" and "e Kjell Stoknes explained that he is recommending expanding the wording in Item "a" to include the participation in an LID for the improvement of street, utilities, sidewalk, lighting and all related improvements. Item "e" is a recommendation that no recreational vehicles shall be allowed to park on the site. This requirement would be included in the By -Laws and Covenants. The City really has nothing to do with this document; they are only a third party. The City should be careful that the wording is included. Mr. Ehmke, property owner, discussed the proposal to make a 12 foot cut at the intersection of 62nd Ave. South and So. 153rd Street. He said the property owners are wondering if a cut of 6 to 8 feet would not be adequate. They all need the LID. 3 Councilman Hill said it bothers him that someone may look at it and question if we are treating all home owners the same whether they are in a single family home or a condominium. Are we discriminating? Mr. Stoknes explained that this is an attempt to encourage less asphalt. This proposal has a higher parking ratio than any other multiple development in the City and none of the others address recreational vehicles. Attorney Hard explained that this is a Rezone Ordinance and nothing more. Council does not have to grant the rezone, the burden is on the applicant to show why his reasons for the request are valid. He is asking that a particular law be changed and so this could be defended in court. If they don't like this condition, they can withdraw their application. Mayor Bauch commented that, as far as enforcement, there is the health and safety aspect and the Fire Department has reviewed it. The City will enforce the obstruction of traveled ways and the blocking of Fire Lanes. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING December 4, 1978 Page 4 ORDINANCES Cont.
