Mayor Bauch declared the Public Hearing open and asked Fred Satterstrom, Associate Planner, to review the Staff Report. Mr. Satterstrom explained that the maps on display include the zoning pattern for certain properties which are beyond the boundaries of the proposed annexation area. There is a reasonable expectation that the Boundary Review Board may add this to the annexation. This area lies west of Pacific Highway South and north of South 112th Street. The existing land use in the annexation area includes a single family residential area bordered by the Burlington Northern Freight Yard and, on the north, by a commercial/ industrial area. The residential area consists of approximately 357 single family homes, 4 duplexes, and 1 apartment. The present King County zoning basically reflects the existing TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING May 21, 1979 Page 2 PUBLIC HEARING Continued Proposed zoning classification for the Allentown annexation area land use pattern. The King County zoning establishes the single family zoning as well as the industrial land use on the east (Burlington Northern), north and west. Heavy industrial zoning in King County does allow for some mixed commercial land use. It provides for a manufacturing park at the intersection of 46th Avenue and 44th Place South. It also provides for neighborhood business locations. The Tukwila Comprehensive Plan provides for the core area of single family zoning (R -1.72) and establishes the business zone (M -1) to the north and east. The Planning Commission has recommended the City Council approve the zoning pattern as illustrated on the map which is on display marked Exhibit 1. Mr. Paul Tilder, 1223 43rd South, asked if the Allentown grocery would be discontinued. Mayor Bauch said no, it would be a legal non conforming use. He also asked about the farm property and was told that it is County Park property bought with Forward Thrust monies. He asked if there has been any proposal made to change the area from single to multiple dwelling. He said he has talked to several people who are concerned about the expense involved in annexation if sewers are required. These people are on a fixed income and feel they might be forced to sell and will not get much for their small lots as single family. Mayor Bauch said annexation does not mean the area will be automatically sewered. Mr. Clem La Voy, 11234 Rainier Avenue South, explained that he owns two lots next to Big John's Trucking. The company pays his taxes to store trucks on his property. To build a residence next to a trucking company wouldn't be feasible. He said he would like to put a mobile home on each lot for rental units. Mayor Bauch explained that mobile homes are only allowed in Mobile Home Parks in the City of Tukwila. Mr. La Voy said there are a number of them in the Allentown area now. Nobody would want to build a permanent residence on my two lots. They have a freight yard at the back and next to a trucking company. The only thing I could use it for is rental property. Councilman Bohrer asked what kind of a mobile home or was he talking about a modular home. Mr. La Voy said one with wheels that they move in and put on a foundation. Mr. Vernon Mahn, 124 South 51st Street, explained that he has a small workshop in the back of his home and has already applied to the County for a light manufacturing zone. If it is granted will the zoning stay. The property is next to the Burlington Northern Freight yard. Mr. Satterstrom said the Comprehensive Plan shows the site as zoned single family. Mr. Mahn said it would be impossible to sell as a residence. The traffic in front of my place is congested. This morning there were 8 trucks in front of my place and 4 coming down the street. This is why I would like to have the business zone. It is three lots with a small shop. Councilman Bohrer asked Mr. Mahn if he lives on the site and was told he does. Councilman Harris asked Mr. La Voy if he has a mobile home on his property now. He said he does not; he is renting the lots to Big John who stores trucks on the site. The whole block should be zoned commercial /industrial. It is not desirable for residents. There being no further comments,the Public Hearing was closed. The second Public Hearing will be June 25. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING May 21, 1979 Page 3 PETITIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, APPEALS AND SIMILAR MATTERS PROCLAMATION: Public Works Week Formal Motion #79 -05: Authorizing modification to certain annexation legal descriptions Waiver Request 53rd Ave. So. at So. 158th (McNamara Investments) Criteria No. Z The City Clerk read a Proclamation signed by Mayor Bauch. It states: I, EDGAR D. BAUCH, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MAY 20 THROUGH MAY 26, 1979 AS NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK. Terence Monaghan, Public Works Director, introduced Wes Jorgenson who has recently been employed by the City as Junior Engineer. He noted that the newly employed Office Engineer, Phillip Fraser, was unable to attend this evening because of a previous commitment and invited Council to stop by the Department to meet him. Mayor Bauch explained that, with the employment of the two engineers, the State of Washington has recognized the City as able to certify Public Works Projects without State approval first. We are the 23rd jurisdiction in the State to be certified under this procedure. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THE PROPOSED FORMAL MOTION BE READ. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Hard read a formal motion of the Tukwila City Council authorizing modifications to certain annexation legal descriptions. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT FORMAL MOTION NO. 79 -05 BE ADOPTED AS READ. MOTION CARRIED. On April 5, 1979, the City received a waiver application to ordinance #1109, for a 2.7 acre piece of property on 53rd Ave. South adjacent to the Bow Lake Pipeline (South 158th Street). The property is presently zoned RMH while the Comprehensive Plan shows the property as single family. Councilman Bohrer explained that under the waiver checklist there are 5 criteria to be voted on. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT COUNCIL REGISTER A YES VOTE ON CRITERIA #1 DOES THE PROPOSED ACTION REPRESENT A UNIQUE CONDITION WHICH IS NOT SIGNIFICANT IN SCALE Stephen Clark of Harstad Associates, representing the applicant, reviewed the proposal. The major conflict with the development is that, although the Comprehensive plan designates the area as single family residential, the existing zoning indicates the area should be for multi family, higher density use. By using the proper site planning, screening, proper location of buildings and proper construction techniques makes the site economically feasible for a medium density residential development as opposed to a low density development. They are proposing on 2.7 acres of land, 11 triplexes for a total of 33 dwelling units. The units will be row house design concept. The family room, dining area, kitchen and bath will be on the main floor; on the second floor, 2 or 3 bedrooms and bath. Their intention is to work with the topography of the property. The total of the 33 units will cover approximately 17% (19,000 sq. ft.) of the site; surfaces for parking, walkways, roads will be about 32,000 sq. ft.; 10,200 sq. ft. will be dedicated for playgrounds and the remaining 54,710 sq. ft. will be left in the natural state. By working with the topography, they can easily put parking under the structure. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING May 21, 1979 Page 4 PETITIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, APPEALS AND SIMILAR MATTERS Continued Waiver Request 53rd Ave. So. at So. 158th (McNamara Investments) V3 Councilman Bohrer said he is having a problem with the elevations. Referring to the site plan, it appears several of the buildings will be approached from the hillside so you can see three stories. It was agreed that you would see the three story side of about five units. Mr. McNamara said they are two story townhouses with a garage in the basement. Putting basements under the buildings makes a more expensive project but this has to be done to adhere to the topography of the ground and to make it look right. Councilman Saul asked for an explanation of the water control problem on the hillside. Mr. Clark explained that control of the shallow water would be done through the installation of an interceptor trench with a perforated pipe. Councilman Saul asked where the runoff from the rooftops and blacktop would go. Mr. Clark said it would go into a contained system, then into a retention area. The final analysis on the water retention system hasn't been done yet. Councilman Traynor expressed concern that the density is on the high side of the medium density range rather than the low side. Will this be precedent setting for the hill to the west. Mr. McNamara said that the City's definition of medium density is triplexes, four plexes 6 to 16 units per gross acre. Mr. Dennis Robinson, 16038 48th South, commented that the hill side already has a strong community of single family and they want it to remain single family. The only reason the development covers 17% of the land is because they are going three stories high. Councilman Hill asked what is the maximum number of houses you could build on an acre. Mr. Stoknes said, 5. Councilman Saul asked if you could get five per acre on this property or is the grade too great. Mr. Stoknes said on the lower elevation you possibly could but on the western part probably not. Councilman Harris said, with the possibility of slope instability, it seems that getting rid of the surface water should be a real concern. Mr. Clark said it has been addressed but this is just a very preliminary discussion. We would like to continue the waiver process with the stipulation that we satisfy the recommendations of the City Council and the Planning Commission. Mr. McNamara said, rather than get too detailed, they would like some reaction from the City Council that the waiver will be approved or denied. If they get approval then they will get into the engineering and detailed matters. This is an expensive process and there is no sense spending the money if it won't be approved. Councilman Johanson said he had hoped to see some actual drawings because once a commitment is made it is hard to reverse the decision. Mayor Bauch reminded the Council that they amended the waiver procedure to allow the granting of a preliminary waiver as long as the developer returned with detailed plans that were essentially the same as the plans approved at the time of the preliminary waiver request. Councilman Traynor suggested that, if Council desires to approve this waiver, a Public Hearing should be held to get the voice of the people. Mr. Robinson, audience, asked if it was proper to request a Public Hearing at this time. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING May 21, 1979 Page 5 PETITIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, APPEALS, AND SIMILAR MATTERS Continued Waiver Request 53rd Ave. So. at So. 158th (McNamara Investments) Criteria No. 2 *COUNCILMAN HILL WITHDREW HIS SECOND TO THE MOTION. COUNCILMAN BOHRER WITHDREW HIS MOTION. MOVED BY SAUL, SECONDED BY JOHANSON, THAT COUNCIL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE GRANTING OF THIS WAIVER.* Councilman Van Dusen said he believes Council already knows what the testimony of the citizens will be. A public hearing would be a waste of time. Mr. Clark asked if this is procedurally correct. Attorney Hard said Council has the power to ask for a public hearing on anything they consider. *MOTION FAILED. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT COUNCIL REGISTER A YES VOTE ON CRITERIA #1.* BOHRER NO, does not feel the condition on this property is unique. There are several other neighboring pieces of property that have essentially the same desires and problems the applicant has. Also, it is significant in scale since it is similar in size to the surrounding property areas. HARRIS NO, it is significant in scale. HILL NO, the whole hillside has a drainage problem. There are a lot of significant items that need to be addressed. JOHANSON NO, it is significant. There is a particular increase in density and will have the appearance of three story structures. SAUL NO, on the same basis that everyone else has stated. TRAYNOR NO. *MOTION FAILED: 7 NO. VAN DUSEN NO, based on a lot of previous discussions on requests for rezones up there. This type of density is significant in scale. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT COUNCIL REGISTER A YES VOTE ON CRITERIA #2 HAS THE APPLICANT INVESTIGATED REASONABLE ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE WHICH WOULD NOT REQUIRE A WAIVER Mayor Bauch asked the Attorney how Council knows if the applicant has investigated alternatives. Councilman Bohrer cited Section 4 of the waiver application -Are other reasonable development alternatives available which would not require a waiver? The applicant has answered "None." Councilman Bohrer asked the applicant if he had considered a single family development on the site. Mr. Clark said they had considered it but don't feel it practical. The cost of developing the property, for the amount of return, is not worth risking the investment on for a single family development. Mr. McNamara said it would cost too much money and you couldn't sell the houses for what you had in it. It doesn't lend itself to individual housing. It sits right on top of the freeway. To the north is a house with a bunch of old trucks in the yard and a sign that reads "for sale, high density." To the south is the Bow Lake Pipeline Easement with a high bank next to it. This property sits below the road. If you did build 10 houses, who would you sell them to and how much would you have to ask? By the time you do the foundation work and what this property is goino to require, you will have around $100,000 a TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING May 21, 1979 Page 6 PETITIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, APPEALS AND SIMILAR MATTERS Continued Waiver Request 53rd Ave. So. at So. 158th (McNamara Investments) Criteria No. 3 home and that area won't carry that. Do to the topography, they don't feel it will handle that price range. They could not possibly build houses there and come out. If you let individual builders come in there you lose control. If just isn't for that type of housing. Attorney Hard explained that this particular question has another problem. There are two reasons a waiver is being required. One, the proposed use is consistent with the zoning but not with the Comprehensive Plan. The second i s that this property is located in an area identified as having some unique physical characteristics. Even if they were to come in with an application to put single family residences, it still needs a waiver. There is no alternative available to them where they don't need a waiver. Councilman Traynor said he has noticed homes being built along the freeway between here and Tacoma. If it is feasible to do elsewhere, he said he couldn't understand why it isn't feasible here. *MAYOR BAUCH RULED THAT CRITERIA #2 IS "NOT APPLICABLE." MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT COUNCIL REGISTER A YES VOTE ON CRITERIA #3 IF THE REQUEST FOR WAIVER INVOLVES BUILDING, GRADING, CLEARING, EXCAVATION, OR FILLING IN A GEOGRAPHICAL AREA GENERALLY IDENTIFIED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL BASEMAP AS AN AREA OF HIGH NATURAL AMENITY OF DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINT, ARE MITIGATING MEASURES PROVIDED Councilman Bohrer asked the applicant to explain what mitigating measures he is providing. Mr. Clark said the mitigating measures they are talking about are the sculptured architecture that adapts to the natural land form, introduction of additional groundcover, retention of existing vegetation. Other concerns are the reduction of noise through the use of structural insulation, double wall construction and Thermo -Paine glass. Another is taking into account the recommendations of Shannon Wilson in their geological study as far as water control and having additional soils studies made to ensure their under- standing of the type of foundation necessary. He offered that they would be happy to provide working drawings to identify the specific concerns. Councilman Bohrer noted that the soils report was done for a larger development. It raises some uncertainties as to the slide areas. It indicates the work the State did to stabilize the freeway slopes which are limited to the freeway area. The stability of that area has long been a concern of the City and Council. He asked the City Attorney if there should be a problem with the hillside and if it were unstable, and the City had allowed construction to proceed, is the City liable sometime in the future. Attorney Hard said basically the City would not be liable. The City should look out for possible problems and require certified soils and engineering studies. If you have done this, you have done all you can to protect the City. Mr. McNamara said they are prepared to have another soils study. They want to be sure they can proceed before they spend this additional money. The study may show that pilings are necessary and they have considered this. BOHRER YES, the applicant has provided adequate measures. HARRIS YES, mitigating measures are being provided. HILL YES, even though they are not provided at the present time, they will be because they are aware of them. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING May 21, 1979 Page 7 PETITIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, APPEALS AND SIMILAR MATTERS Continued Waiver Request- JOHANSON YES, since we do have another opportunity to 53rd Ave. So. at see plans and there are mitigating measures being planned. So. 158th If there was no other access to this waiver I would vote (McNamara NO. I want to see the plans. Investments) Criteria No. 4 Criteria No. 5 SAUL NO, I do not believe we know anything about the excavation and saving the trees. I am really concerned about the water retention on the property. This is a big problem on the hill. TRAYNOR YES, I agree with the statement made by Councilman Hill. VAN DUSEN NO, even though the information will be provided, I don't see it. *MOTION CARRIED: 5 YES; 2 NO. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT COUNCIL REGISTER A YES VOTE ON CRITERIA 4 IS THE REQUEST FOR WAIVER CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS AND POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE POLICY PLAN Councilman Bohrer gave the applicant the chance to review the table presented. Mr. Clark said the table provided is their formal review of the elements of the Comprehensive Plan, the objectives and policies and how they intend to implement the particular policies as they relate to their development. They are trying to meet the intent and the overall philosophy of the Comprehensive Plan and would like an indication of how they have failed if they have not met it at this point. TRAYNOR NO. SAUL NO. 4 HILL YES, this is where I have disagreed with our Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan. I have a problem with the difference between townhouses that are coupled together and two single family residences that are ten feet apart. One of the goals and policies is to provide housing for people and this does that. VAN DUSEN YES, I feel they meet 5 of the 9 items. BOHRER YES, I believe the proposed development is generally in concurrence with the goals and policies. HARRIS I'm undecided, pass me by. JOHANSON NO. HARRIS YES. *MOTION CARRIED: 4 YES; 3 NO. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT COUNCIL REGISTER A YES VOTE ON CRITERIA #5 DO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS ORDINANCE IMPOSE A SPECIAL HARDSHIP TO A SITE FOR WHICH A WAIVER OF THE PROVISIONS WOULD NOT NECESSITATE A MAJOR POLICY COMMITMENT PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND MAP VAN DUSEN NO, it would necessitate a major policy commitment. TRAYNOR NO, it does make a major policy commitment. SAUL NO, same reason. JOHANSON NO, it would necessitate a major policy commitment. HILL YES, don't think it would be a major policy commitment. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING May 21, 1979 Page 8 PETITIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, APPEALS AND SIMILAR MATTERS Continued Waiver Request 53rd Ave. So at So. 158th (McNamara Investments) RECESS: 9:15 P.M. 9:25 P.M. ORDINANCES Ordinance #1111 Prohibit the parking of commercial vehi- cles in residential areas. HARRIS YES, the provisions of the ordinance do impose a special hardship to the site. BOHRER NO, the introduction of multiple family homes into a section of the City where there currently are none is a major policy commitment. *MOTION FAILED: 5 NO; 2 YES. Attorney Hard said, as long as you have voted on the criteria and did it knowingly and intelligently, you can now decide whether you approve or deny the preliminary application. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT SINCE COUNCIL HAS CRITICALLY REVIEWED THE FIVE CONDITIONS FOR GRANTING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO THE WAIVER, THAT THE WAIVER BE GRANTED SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION THAT THE PROJECT RECEIVES A FAVORABLE SOILS SOLUTION FROM INVESTIGATION BY A QUALIFIED SOILS SPECIALIST.* BOHRER NO, of the four criteria we voted on I voted yes on 2 and no on 2. I give more weight to criterion #1 and #5, the ones I voted no on. HARRIS NO, because it does not conform with the present Comprehensive Plan. HILL YES, I would like to see the whole plan laid out. If you vote no you never get to see it. Everybody doesn't have to live in a single family home. JOHANSON NO, in considering an action of this matter in this area you have to consider the density. SAUL NO, it doesn't comply with the Comprehensive Plan, the land has slope instability and too high a density for this area. TRAYNOR NO, no additional reasons to add to those stated. VAN DUSEN NO, there are two unanswered questions to this request. Drainage is one of the biggest ones. Second, I am in no condition to vote for any rezone on that hill until there is public pressure or some other pressure to get me to change my mind. Economics and time will probably change all vacant land into densities we have yet to see. *MOTION FAILED: 6 NO; 1 YES. MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY VAN DUSEN, THAT COUNCIL RECESS FOR TEN MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Bauch called the Regular Meeting back to order with Council Members present as previously reported. 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, Washington, to prohibit the parking of commercial vehicles in residential areas. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY VAN DUSEN, THAT ORDINANCE NO. 1111 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Councilman Johanson said we have a few people in town who operate businesses out of their trucks and they will be forced to find other places to park. Then, they will have to use a second TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING May 21, 1979 Page 9 ORDINANCES Continued Ordinance #1111 Prohibit the parking of commercial vehi- cles in residential areas. Ordinance #1112 Recreating the Tukwila Planning Commission. DEPARTMENT REPORTS Mayor's Report Finance Director's Monthly Report of Investments MISCELLANEOUS AND FURTHER AUDIENCE COMMENTS Approval to proceed with Phase II, Christensen Trail Design Approval to proceed with the restoration of Old City Hall vehicle to get to the truck. Councilman Hill asked if this would cover the tractor without the flatbed. Parked on our narrow streets they are a traffic hazard. Mayor Bauch reminded Council that, under the zoning code, storage of trucks over 8,000 pounds is not allowed on private property in the residential area. Councilman Bohrer said that some recreation vehicles are large enough in size that they make visibility along the streets more difficult. Once the streets are reduced in size they are going to reduce the width of the driving lanes. Perhaps, this problem should be addressed at another time. Councilman Johanson said he is against semis parking on the roads but can't accept this ordinance as it is. Councilman Saul said he feels the same way. *MOTION CARRIED WITH JOHANSON AND SAUL VOTING NO. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY TRAYNOR,THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED. City Attorney Hard read an ordinance recreating the Tukwila Planning Commission, prescribing its duties, authority, and procedure, and repealing Ordinance No. 242 and Ordinance No. 839. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT ORDINANCE NO. 1112 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Mayor Bauch said this ordinance eliminates the two councilmen as ex officio members of the commission. It will now comply with the requirements of the Optional Municipal Code. The ordinance also provides for new expiration dates of the terms served. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THE ORDINANCE BE AMENDED TO ADD SECTION NO. 7 REPEALER, TO REPEAL ORDINANCE NO. 242 AND ORDINANCE NO. 839. MOTION CARRIED. *MOTION CARRIED TO ADOPT THE ORDINANCE AS AMENDED. Mayor Bauch explained his request for approval to proceed on Phase II of Christensen Trail design and grant application. This is from the Bicentennial Park north. $1,800 should cover the preliminary design. MOVED BY TRAYNOR, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT COUNCIL CONCUR WITH THE MAYOR'S REQUEST. MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Bauch explained that he would like approval to proceed with the design and specifications for the conversion of Old City Hall to a Library. The amount of money needed at this Mayor Bauch announced that the Governor has signed House Bill No. 1031. This Bill provides for the turning over of Interurban Avenue to the City on July 1, 1979. 1031 is the Transportation Study Bill. Councilman Harris read the investment report submitted by Ron Swanson, Finance Director. Interest income for the month of April amounted to $21,851. This resulted from interest on the following activity: Investments Sold $1,400,000 Investments Purchased $1,450,000 TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING May 21, 1979 Page 10 MISCELLANEOUS AND FURTHER AUDIENCE COMMENTS Continued Approval to proceed with the restoration of Old City Hall ADJOURNMENT: 10:01 P.M. time is unknown. It will be done in two phases, removal of the existing interior additions and go back to the original high ceiling structure. Once this is done the old folding doors will open and the whole area can be used for a library. The project will be coordinated through Wes Jorgenson, Junior Engineer. Councilman Van Dusen said that the City needs some citizens to steer this. We need some control. Mayor Bauch said this is to restore it back to the original structure as it was before it was used for City Hall.
