Vicki Plano, 1307 Ethier Road, Apartment A, Renton, Washington 98055, said she had been unable to find an apartment in Tukwila because she has two children. She said she previously lived in Tukwila for six years, she works here, and wanted to return. She said she cannot buy a condominium because she has children. She said she had taken her complaint to several agencies and they suggested she bring the matter to the City Council. Councilman Johanson asked Ms. Plano if this condition exists in Tukwila only or if it is a general condition. Ms. Plano said the condition exists all over. In Seattle she has found the same situa- tion, they do not want children. She said there are homes for rent, but they are too expensive. She said she realized there are rowdy children, but her children are well disciplined, she has excellent references, she has a job and can pay her rent. Councilman Saul said there is a place next to the Stardust Apartments where they will take children, but a lot of apartments are not made for children and cannot provide proper environment for them. Ms. Plano agreed there was the one place. Councilman Hill suggested the Council seek advice from the City Attorney as to what action can be taken. Councilman Harris said she was shocked to hear there are apartments in Tukwila where children ar not taken. She said she would like to have a survey made.

Mayor Bauch said he would check with the City Attorney to see what action the City can take. He said he would recommend that a public hearing be scheduled so the apartment owners could come and present their side. He said Staff would make a survey and report on the policies that exist in Tukwila with respect to renting to tenants with children. He said the Staff Report would be presented at the next Committee of the Whole Meeting. *CARRIED. Mayor Bauch stated the memorandum from Kjell Stoknes, OCD Director, stated the Council should decide if they will accept the proposed annexation; decide whether it shall require the simultaneous adoption of a proposed zoning regulation; and whether or not to require assumption of City indebtedness. Mayor Bauch stated he would recommend the matter be referred to the Planning Commission. Chris Crumbaugh, audience, said the present neighboring zoning is SE (Suburban Estate), the area is 2.14 acres, and none is under water.

The Council concurred they would require the simultaneous adoption of a proposed zoning regulation. The Council concurred to require the assumption of City indebtedness. Mayor Bauch said this matter would be referred to the Planning Commission for zoning and then referred back to the Council. *CARRIED. Revisions to proposed Mayor Bauch said it had been suggested that the LID boundaries could design of LID #28. be adjusted to exclude 57th Avenue South or a redesign could provide for overlaying the existing roadway after the proposed drainage and curbing were installed. He said the Tukwila Apartments were excluded from the LID, one of the reasons being that the original road was put in by the developers of the apartments. He said also the Condominium Builders had suggested Puget Sound Power and Light provide the street lighting. He said Terry Monaghan, Public Works Director, had said that if, after negotiations, Puget Power agrees to bear any portion or all of the street lighting costs, the LID assessment roll would be reduced. Councilman Harris said she felt the entire area should participate, including the Tukwila Apartments. She said it was part of the rezone condition that the street be upgraded to City standards. Gerry Marcy, attorney, representing Mr. Winn (property owner), said litigation is going on now and part of the negotiation of changing is an attempt to get away from litigation. His concern is not to reduce the scope of the LID. Councilman Johanson said he saw no reason to delete anything from the LID. Mayor Bauch said the Tukwila Apartments were excluded from the LID, but the Graydon Smith property was included. Council President Bohrer said the Council would not take any action on this matter at this time.
