Council President Bohrer: Mr. Mayor, I move that this ordinance be read by title only. Councilman Saul: Second. Mayor Bauch: Moved and seconded. We will read the ordinance by title only for this discussion. All those in favor signify by saying "I (Response made by council members) Opposed. (No response by council members) Motion carried. Attorney Hard: An ordinance approving and confirming the assessments and assessment roll of Local Improvement District No. 25 which has been created and established for the purpose of construction and installation of access street, sanitary sewer trunks, force mains and lift stations and water mains, all in accordance with city standards within an area lying east of Interurban Avenue and north of State Highway No. 405, all within the City of Tukwila, as provided by Ordinance No. 837, and levying and assessing the amount thereof against the several lots, tracts, parcels of land and other property shown on the roll. Council President Bohrer: Mr. Mayor, I'd like to move the ordinance be approved as read. Councilman Saul: Second it. Mayor Bauch: Moved and seconded to approve the ordinance as read. Is there any discussion? I would like to point out that on the second page the pertinent figure is $502,440, total roll. Mr. Traynor. Councilman Traynor: It doesn't specifically have to do with the L.I.D., yet it does. I know that Mr. Johanson showed concern for that street improvement- what is that 53rd -no, 153rd. Councilman Hill: This is L.I.D. 25. Councilman Traynor: Hah? Councilman Hill: This is L.I.D. 25. Mayor Bauch: This is L.I.D. 25, Fort Dent Park. Councilman Traynor: I guess I'm on 29; I'm ahead of you. Mayor Bauch: Mr. Van Dusen. Councilman Van Dusen: I guess this is just a technical question, but on the third "whereas" we've written in here, "the City Council overruled all written protests received and denied all requests for changes of assessments on said assessment roll." Does that take place through this ordinance? When we pass this ordinance, that's what we're saying Mayor Bauch: That's right. Councilman Van Dusen: -that we overruled all written protests. Mayor Bauch: We attempted to do some negotiations. We authorized the City Attorney to do them, and those negotiations were not successful. Councilman Van Dusen: But we give the official sanction. Mayor Bauch: All right. Any other questions. All those in favor of adopting the ordinance as read signify by saying "I (Response made by council members) Opposed. (No response by council members) Motion carried. It's Ordinance 1097. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING February 5, 1979 Page 3 ORDINANCES Cont. Ordinance #1097 Approving Confirming the assessment roll of LID #25 Ordinance #1098 Ordering the improvement of property along 62nd Ave. So. So.153rd and establishing LID #29 Mayor Bauch noted that the total of the assessment roll is $502,440. *MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT ORDINANCE N0. 1098 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* City Attorney Hard read an ordinance ordering the improvement of property within the City of Tukwila, Washington, along portions of 62nd Avenue South and South 153rd Street by acquisition of additional public right -of -way, grading, widening and paving the street surface, installing sidewalks, curbs and gutters, installing storm drainage, storm sewers and sanitary sewers, water facilities, underground utilities and street illumination, all in accordance with resolution No. 660 of the City of Tukwila, Washington; establishing Local Improvement District No. 29; providing that payment for said improvements be made by special assessments upon property in said district payable by the mode of "payment by bond and providing for the issuance and sale of local improvement district warrants redeemable in cash and local improvement district bonds. Councilman Traynor expressed concern that the street improvement will increase the speed and the traffic through the residential section on South 153rd Street. Terry Monaghan explained that the street will be no wider than the rest of the streets in the residential areas of the City. Councilman Johanson asked about the steep hill at the intersection of 62nd Avenue South and South 153rd and was told it would be cut 12 feet. Councilman Traynor asked how this cut would affect the entrance to Park Place proposal. Mr. Monaghan said Park Place will have to do an extensive amount of work to meet this grade. Mr. Don Dalley, Pacific Townhouse Builders, representing Park Place, expressed concern over a 12 foot cut. This amount of cut will change their driveway slope from an 8% to a 14% to 16% slope. This then, changes the requirements of the rezone. He asked for something from the City stating that the City will allow them to construct this great of a slope. It would be quite disastrous if the Fire Department came along now and said they cannot approve a 15% slope when their original calculation at the time of the rezone was 8 The second concern they have is that with a 12 foot cut the approach to Park Place would be basically a canyon. There will be a 30 foot dirt wall on the northwest corner and a 20 foot wall on the south side. These are the two major items they want to look into further. It will also probably mean that buildings 3, 4, and 5 will have to be moved toward the north. If these buildings are moved the rec. center will have to be moved and the buildings fronting the open -space will have to be moved into it. It could mean a complete change in the site plan, just because of the 12 foot cut. Councilman Traynor asked about the 15% slope. Mr. Monaghan said the Fire Department has one vehicle that will bottom -out changing from a flat plane to a 15% grade but there is no problem with the trucks climbing a 15% slope. An acceptable standard for hilly terrain is 15 TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING February 5, 1979 Page 4 ORDINANCES Cont. Ordinance #1098 Ordering the improvement of property along 62nd Ave. So. So. 153rd and establishing LID #29 Ordinance #1099 Reclassifying certain property from R -4 to C -1. (Southcenter Blvd. east of City Hall) Ordinance #1100 Appropriate block grant monies Councilman Hill said he felt Mr. Dalley was concerned because he got the rezone and now, if they have to change the site plan, they can't live up to the rezone. What happens if they move buildings to make the site usable? Councilman Hill wondered if an 8 foot cut would be enough. Maybe the City is creating a problem. Mr. Monaghan explained that the design engineers are recommending the 12 feet. It is expensive but the concern is site distance and safety during inclement weather. If 12 feet is not needed it will be changed. The City will work closely with the developers and try to resolve their dilemma. Councilman Hill asked if the Park Place proposal will need to come back to the Council for reconsideration of the rezone or the site plan. Mr. Stoknes said it would be brought back for reaffirmation of the site plan. *MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Hard read an ordinance of the City of Tukwila reclassifying certain property from R -4 (low apartments) to C -1 (retail) as contained in the planning division master file No. 78 -39 -R, subject to certain conditions. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT ORDINANCE NO. 1099 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Councilman Traynor asked about the piece of property to the west of the proposed rezone site and was told it is already zoned C -1. Councilman Van Dusen recalled that on a previous rezone, Council included the statement that if the project is not completed as presented within a reasonable time period the rezone would revert back to the original zoning; and he wondered if Council wanted this included in all rezones. Councilman Traynor said on some rezones a site plan is submitted and the developer is held to the site plan, but on this one we are deviating from the site plan and are saying someone else (Board of Architectural Review) will review it. Mayor Bauch reminded Council that Section F requires that Exhibits 3, 4, and 5 (Elevations, Site Plan and Architect's Drawing) are made a part of the ordinance. This pretty well limits them as to the type of building that will go in there. The Architectural Review will determine the exact location. Councilman Van Dusen asked if this developer doesn't build, is it possible for this ordinance to be overlooked sometime in the future. Could something else be built on this site? *MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Hard read an ordinance amending the 1979 Budget as adopted by ordinance number 1090 in order to appropriate unappropriated block grant monies. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY JOHANSON, THAT ORDINANCE NO. 1100 BE ADOPTED AS READ. MOTION CARRIED. 43 Attorney Hard said the ordinance will be recorded and become a matter of record and should be picked up by the Title Company.
