1979 Street Mayor Bauch announced that the bids received for the 1979 Street
Improvement Project Improvement Project need further study. Figures should be ready by
next Monday. He asked Council to call a Special Meeting at 7:00
p.m., July 23, 1979 to consider the bid award.
MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT COUNCIL CALL A SPECIAL
MEETING TO CONSIDER THE BID AWARD. MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Bauch explained that this is the second public hearing,
required by State law, on adoption of proposed zoning classifications
for the unincorporated area known as Crestview. Zoning to become
effective if the area is annexed to the City. He declared the
Public Hearing open.
Kjell Stoknes, OCD Director, read a letter dated June 21, 1979
from Marsilio Di Giovanni, 17015 53rd Avenue South, concerning
the "Minutes of Public Hearing on Proposed Zoning Crestview
Annexation, May 24, 1979." Mr. Di Giovanni states, "I would like
to inform you that the minutes do not reflect the meaning or the
intent of the statements which were made by me during that meeting."
He referred to four sections in the minutes and explained his position
on each. He asked to have the corrections made. Mayor Bauch reminded
Council and audience that the minutes are not verbatim, all
comments are made a matter of record on the tape.
City Clerk read a letter for the record dated July 11, 1979 from
Norman J. and Wilma W. Wise, Jr. The letter stated, "As property
owners in the area in question, we believe that the present zoning,
King County RM -1800, provides for better use of the land than
would Tukwila single residence zoning." They explained the location
of the property and why they felt the current zoning is best. They
asked Council to visit the site and evaluate the situation objectively.

Mr. John Bosch, representing the estate of Peter Bosch, 3780 South
158th Street, said the property at that address has been zoned RM -1800
for more than ten years. R-3 zoning is proposed for the property,
that is a medium density zoning and is inconsistent with the
present high density use. There is a new development to the east and
it obviously is not R -3, it is RM -1800. The zoning through this
area should be consistent. It is inconsistent to downzone theirs
when the next property is already high density construction.
Councilman Bohrer asked the density of the new development. Mr.
Stoknes said the proposed Tukwila R -3 zoning allows a maximum of
four plexes and 16 units per acre. The Chalet South has more than
four units per building and has a higher density in the lower
twenties. To change it to R -3 makes it nonconforming.
Mr. Di Giovanni asked if the City had received his letter
concerning the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting. Mayor
Bauch assured him it had been read for the record before he
arrived.
Mr. Dave Bosch, 6911 35th Street West, Tacoma, said at a
previous meeting the difference in the R -3 and the RM -1300
was discussed and there is considerable difference. The property
they are talking about lies west of the Chalet South development
and is currently zoned RM -1800. The property has a steep hill-
side facing SR 518 and does not make it feasible to develop
with tri- plexes or four plexes. It will cost approximately
$6,000 to hook to the sewers. He asked Council to consider their
request for a R -4 zone at least but RMH would be more compatible
with the current zoning.
Mrs. Wilma Wise, 4039 South 158th, asked if Council has looked
at the topography of the area. They are on the south side of
South 158th and are in the RM -1800 zone. Behind them is a hill
going up to South 160th. This is an extremely wide block. They
feel that any building on their side of the street would not affect
those facing the other street. South 158th is not a residential
street, it is a main thoroughfare. If it is going to be multiple
zoning on one side of the street it is only logical to have it
on the other side also. She has talked with two of her neighbors
and they are in agreement.
Mr. Joe Raffeno, 29916 2nd Avenue Southwest, Federal Way, explained
that he owns the property between Bosch and the theater. He asked
why the zoning on the property to the west of him is not being
changed when his is. The property owners have not even attended a
meeting. Mr. Raffeno asked if there is any possibility that they
could be left out of the annexation or, if the property west of him
was also being down zoned, he would feel they were being treated
equal but they sure are not being treated equal with them
maintaining theirs and you want to change ours. If the single
family residents want to remain single family that is fine but,
I can't see why you can't turn us loose. My property can be used
for multiple zoning. It is close to public transportation, the
theater, drug store, and grocery store. He again asked if
there was any way of being left out of the annexation. Mayor
Bauch said the boundaries have already been set. The next step is
to go to the Boundary Review Board. He explained that Council will
consider all testimony presented at these Public Hearings.
Mr. John Bosch asked again that their property be zoned according
to the present use of the adjoining property. Anything less would
be an injustice.
Mr. Di Giovanni asked if the Planning Commission gave a reason for
recommending the proposed zoning. Mayor Bauch explained that
usually the Planning Commission is accepting or modifying a Staff
Report. This zoning conforms with the Comprehensive Plan on which
there were many Public Hearings held.

Mr. Dennis Robinson, 16038 48th Avenue. South, said he is one of the
sponsors of the petition to annex the Crestview area into Tukwila.
If the people who signed the petition were satisfied with King
County government land use being one part it is unlikely they
would have signed in the first place. It is erroneous to assume
that these people would like to see the zoning stay exactly as it
is now. Right now there is a tremendous amount of traffic on
both 42nd Avenue South and South 160th and it seems to be increasing.
To the north there are more apartments going up and this will
bring more traffic into the area. The vacant lots are all being
developed into single family homes. Most of the people who signed
the petition favor single family homes. South 158th Street makes
the cleanest break between medium density and single family. The
map on display represents the best planning. He urged Council to
consider the proposed plan. It represents good planning. It does
not make every one happy but it does represent the middle ground
between two sides.
Mrs. Wilma Wise commented that she and her husband signed the
petition. They lived in the City of Tukwila for eleven years and
are fond of the City. However, it does not change their feeling
that if you are going to have multiple houses on one side of the
street it is ridiculous to have single resident houses on the
other side. They share the street and there is a good buffer zone
between South 160th and South 158th.
Mr. Dave Bosch commented on the buffering effect in good comprehen-
sive planning. On the proposed zoning map this looks nice but in
fact,the current use of the proposed R -3 is a brand new 78 unit
condominium built under the County RM -1800 zoning. This, in his
opinion, is not good comprehensive planning for this area.
Mr. William Markham, 15436 42nd South, representing the estate of
M. M. Markham, discussed acreage that lies between South 158th and
South 154th on the east side of 42nd Avenue South. There is a
total of seven acres here that is a natural buffer zone. Multiple
residence here would be a natural buffer to South 158th Street.
Mayor Bauch called for any more comments; there being none, he
closed the Public Hearing at 7:55 P.M. This item will be discussed
by Council at the next Committee of the Whole Meeting.
MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL REGULAR
MEETING RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Bauch called the meeting back to order with Council Members
present as previously reported.
Councilman Saul commented on the City Hall landscaping and asked
about the three oak trees that are dying. He wondered if they are
being watered. Mayor Bauch said the City has a one year maintenance
contract on the landscaping which guarantees it for that period of
time.
Councilman Bohrer asked if Fire Districts 18 and 23 have been
contacted about fire service contracts. Mayor Bauch said that an
effort has been made to contact the departments, but they have not
responded.
Councilman Saul asked what the administrative policy on replacing
police personnel is. Mayor Bauch said that, at the present time,
there is a freeze on hiring more policemen. Councilman Saul asked
if the policy is affected now that they are running one man short.
Mayor Bauch said he decided not to replace this person until an
assessment can be made on where the money will come from. If he
felt they were not adequately staffed he would be back to Council

with a request for more money. Councilman Saul asked where the
City is in signing the arbitration agreement. Councilman Bohrer
said he is in the process of making an assessment of the arbitra-
tion award and should have it completed during the middle of this
week. After coordinating with Staff and the Attorney he will be
back to Council with a recommendation.
Mr. Glen Anderson, 14475 56th Avenue South. said that going to
court is going to cost more than it is worth. He asked if the City
would agree to him paying the $578 to complete the driveway with
the option left open to him to file a claim against the City if
he does decide to go to court. If he pays the money he does not
want the City to say the driveway is done per the agreement. The
City has reneged on their written agreement. He wants the City
to realize he may still go to court. Mayor Bauch said that the
recourse of going to court is always there. Mr. Anderson cited
the events, involving City staff, Council and attorneys, that
have taken place since he last appeared before Council.

portion of street
at So. 149th
Macadam (A.D.

John McFarland, Administrative Assistant, explained that the City
has received two claims for damages that were incurred in relation
to a Public Works project. The Puget Power claim, in the amount of
$90.86, is for the cost to repair underground cable damaged when a
sewer was being replaced at 56th Avenue South and South 144th.
Investigation by the Public Works Director indicates liability on
the part of the City. The Washington Natural Gas claim, in the
amount of $37.16, is for repairs to a 2 -inch gas main broken
during installation of a water service at 14421 56th Avenue South.
Again, investigation reveals liability on the part of the City.
Mr. McFarland recommended that both claims be paid.
MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE TWO CLAIMS BE PAID.
MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. McFarland explained that on July 13, 1979 the City received a
claim for damages from Colonial II, Inc. and on July 16, 1979 a
claim was received from Foster's Unusual Furniture, Inc. Both claims
are against a bond posted by a firm moving a house from the corner
of 53rd Avenue South and Southcenter Boulevard. The City issued
a permit to move the house on Friday, July 13, 1979. There were
some difficulties encountered in the move which caused 53rd Avenue
South to be blocked for a period of time. Both companies have
filed claims for loss of business. Attorney Hard recommended that
Council reject both claims. The City has no legal liability for
these claims. The housemover had a lawful permit and the work was
completed within the time specified on the permit. If these two
companies feel they have been wronged they should seek relief from
the housemover and not the City.

been over to look at the site. There is a strip of property
between Macadam Road and the Freeway immediately north of this and
he suggested it might be possible to make a mini -park at this
location.

MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SAUL, THAT THIS SUBJECT BE REFERRED
BACK TO THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE FOR INVESTIGATION.
Councilman Traynor reminded the Committee that some time back an
attempt was made at developing mini -parks and it did not seem to
work too well.
Councilman Harris said she knows of two mini -parks that are
never used, but still have to be maintained.
*MOTION CARRIED.
c
Councilman Bohrer explained that the subject of discrimination
against children by apartment owners was brought forward so that
Council could make a policy decision. Council held a public
hearing and a number of discussions on this subject. There are
not many children currently living in apartments in Tukwila and
there are a variety of reasons for this. Most people would rather
rear their children in single family residences. Some people say
the apartments in Tukwila are not suited for children. Others say
there are no children because they are discriminated against. The
landlords say it is more profitable to rent to adults because
children damage apartments. Or, maybe we just don't know how
many children we have in our apartments.
There are other facts. We have a low vacancy rate. National
statistics show households are growing faster than the population.
This indicates there will be more adult households created.
Life expectancy is increasing birth rates are decreasing.
We need to recognize the right and desire of people who want to
live separate from children as well as the right and desire of
people who want to raise children in apartments, if that is all
they can afford.
We have a variety of life styles so people can live the way they
want. Councilman Bohrer proposed that Council give consideration to,
what he called, a middle ground solution. This would be an ordin-
ance patterned after the one from Mountlake Terrace which prohibits
discrimination against tenants with children but also says it is
the responsibility of the aggrieved party to take the case to
court and show this is what actually happened. The law also
has a sunset provision which says that after three years Council
must review it and see if they still agree. The landlord should
be allowed to restrict a portion of his buildings for adults only
but the bulk must be open for rental to tenants with children.
We cannot tell people how they should live. We should allow freedom
as much as possible.
MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THIS ITEM BE REFERRED
BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE FOR CONSIDERATION. MOTION
CARRIED.
Mayor Bauch received a letter from LeRoy A. Bowen, 301 Lloyd Building,
Seattle, requesting that his application to vacate the surplus strip
of property along Southcenter Boulevard at 52nd Avenue South be
reconsidered.

BOWEN'S REQUEST AND RECONSIDER THE MATTER. MOTION CARRIED.

Mr. LeRoy Bowen explained that back in April Council considered this
request and it was approved for vacation by five votes. At another
meeting, with only four members present, it was denied. He has
recently acquired the property adjacent to 52nd from the State Highway
Department. His first request was for a strip 160 feet by 20 feet but
now knows he needs only 150 feet. This is a logical request, the
property would be put to good use and be put back on the tax rolls.
Councilman Bohrer said he is opposed to the vacation. It is counter to
Council policy and the City receives no money from it since it is
State turn -back property. Also, there is a possibility of use here.
Councilman Traynor said it looks like it would benefit the City as a
turn -out lane. Mr. Bowen said there is forty feet of property that is
not being used. Councilman Johanson said he has not heard Staff
express any use for this property. Staff has assured us there is ade-
quate area for traffic. Councilman Hill said that the City now needs
an additional twelve feet along the east side of Southcenter Parkway
for a turning lane. Some day we may need this right -of -way and would
have to pay considerable more to get it back. Mr. Bowen said that
right now the street is more than adequate for the amount of traffic.
Councilman Harris said she agreed with Councilman Johanson, there is
an excess of property there.

said land use plan and zoning regulation upon annexation to the City
of Tukwila.

ordinance. The addition of a new Section 4 would make the Comprehensive

raised whether there would be a quorum next Monday night, so it was
suggested that the meeting be changed to the 30th of July, 1979.

Councilman Hill asked the City Attorney, since this ordinance repeals
the ordinance that set the Mayor's salary, what effect does it have
on his current salary between now and January 1. Attorney Hard
said there is a budget ordinance adopting the salary. He suggested
omitting the repealer section.
Councilman Johanson asked if it is predetermined that we are going
to have a full -time Mayor? It must be, we certainly aren't going
to pay $28,000 for part -time. He asked how this was arrived at.
When he ran for office last time he did not get the opinion that the
people are ready for a full -time Mayor.
Councilman Bohrer said he has expressed himself in the past
that the City is ready for a full -time administrator. We have more
than 100 employees and an annual budget of 7 or 8 million dollars and
this warrants a full -time Mayor. He said if Council wish the clause
can be inserted that the Mayor shall be in the City the same as a
full -time employee. Councilman Harris said she did not think Council
has a right to do this. She had looked into this and an elected
official serves the number of hours he wants to. Councilman Johanson
asked if, along with the discussion on the full -time Mayor, there was
also a discussion on restructuring the Staff as it exists today,
designed for a part -time Mayor? What about the full -time AdministrativE
Assistant? Are we going to continue this office? Councilman Harris
reminded Council that once the salary is set, prior to the filing
period, you cannot decrease it. It is set for the four year term of
office. You can give him more but no less. Councilman Bohrer said
Council has agreed that under the coming labor negotiations the Adminis-
trative Assistant will be the negotiator with the help of the
Policy Analyst. There are duties we can find for such an individual.
He can expand on personnel matters to save consulting fees. This is
just a suggestion. Councilman Johanson said if you go to a full -time
Mayor you have eliminated a good share of the population from ever
running for office. Councilman Saul said he thinks it a good move
to have the Administrative Assistant do the negotiating and use the
professional in an advisory capacity. Councilman Harris pointed out if
Council adopts this ordinance the Mayor will be the sixth highest paid
Mayor in the State. Councilman Saul explained that the wage was
arrived at by taking the top salary paid to City Staff and adding 15
Councilman Traynor said we have had two administrators that have said
the Mayor's job is a full -time job. This should tell us something.
Mayor Bauch said there are a lot of people that have no idea of the
amount of work that goes over the desk of the Mayor. Councilman Bohrer
pointed out that there is concern about the City being well managed.

With the Mayor being paid for part -time there is no reason for him
putting in more hours. The subject of going to a Council /Manager
form of governmnet has not been pursued. It was concluded that it
was easier to go to a full -time Mayor. The City needs a full -time
manager. Councilman Harris said, to change the form of government,
it takes a vote of the people. We must address the present method
of paying the Mayor before the filing period. We can go to the
people at a later date. Councilman Hill said why not have a part -time
Mayor for another year.

Councilman Saul suggested that a Proclamation be written honoring
each division and ask the representatives of each selected building
to be present to receive it.
Councilman Hill asked what Council is going to do about Mr. Anderson's
driveway? Councilman Bohrer explained what has happened in the past
negotiations over the driveway. As a final step, Mr. Anderson
has offered to pay for the installation of the west portion of
driveway with the understanding that he was not waiving his right to
sue the City. A City employee has spent considerable time engineering
this driveway, at no cost to the property owner, so he could get his
trailer onto the property. Mr. Anderson has received a quote from
the contractor to complete his driveway.
MOVED BY SAUL, SECONDED BY BOHRER, THAT THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE
