TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL City Hall COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING Council Chambers M I N U T E S Council President Saul called the Tukwila City Council Committee of the Whole Meeting to order. MABEL J. HARRIS, GEORGE D. HILL, J. REID JOHANSON, DORIS E. PHELPS, COUNCIL PRESIDENT DANIEL J. SAUL, GARY VAN DUSEN. Mayor Todd stated the Chartwell Development people had come down from Vancouver expecting to be able to discuss the Chartwell Development at the Committee of the Whole Meeting this date. They are anxious to discuss guidelines with the Council so they will know what action they can take in the development of their property. Mr. Hard, City Attorney, said the subject was not one that could be discussed in an Executive Session. Mr. Larry Hard, City Attorney, said the City needs to take some action. He suggested that it was appropriate for the Chartwell Development representatives to go to the City Planning staff for an answer to their questions and some guidelines and then come to the City Council. Councilman Phelps said it was the feeling among members of the City Council that Resolution 656 needs some revisions, it is too restrictive. She felt the Council should consider this before meeting with Chartwell Development. City Attorney Hard said Resolution 656 could be changed. He said his feeling is that it would be appropriate not to view the vote that was taken last week as absolute. He said he has told the Chartwell Development Company that the City is interested in a proposal for the development of their property, but five acres of pond is not acceptable. If they have another proposal they should take it to the Planning Staff and then to the City Council, not to the City Council first. The City Council wants something else they can consider, after it has been reviewed by the Planning Staff. It is in the interest of Chartwell to come to the City with a different proposal. This is a classic example of a developer not wanting to spend more money until he thinks his plan will be acceptable. If Resolution 656 is put back on the agenda for possible revision it will indicate the Council is willing to consider changes and it will give them some guidelines. Councilman Johanson said the Chartwell Development Company has never come up with anything that will comply with what the City wants. The intent was to have one -third of the area in pond that would be attractive to wildlife. MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT POSSIBLE REVISIONS TO RESOLUTION 656 BE ON THE AGENDA OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING TO BE HELD APRIL 28, 1980. MOTION CARRIED, WITH JOHANSON VOTING NO.

MOTION CARRIED. Mark Caughey, Assistant Planner, said a notice of intent to commence annexation proceedings has been received. He said RCW 25.02.170 prohibits the use of centerlines to define annexation boundaries. The petitioners have proposed to use half street segments of South 168th and South 170th Streets as their boundaries. If the Council accepts the petition it appears that a revised plat and legal descrip- tion adhering to property and right -of -way lines only should be provided. The petitioners have met with representatives of the Fire and Public Works Departments and determined that adequate traffic and emergency service access is available to the annexation area without opening South 168th Street to 53rd Avenue. He said he would suggest that instead of taking just part of the block that the annexation take the entire block of four streets. This would also clarify political jurisdictions. Mr. Caughey suggested this annexation request go to the Community Affairs Committee for study. He said his office would help formulate guidelines.

The proposed maintenance repair ordinance was sent to Staff and they made some changes in it.

It deals with to TMC Title 11. streets that do not have sidewalks at the present time, the require- ments when remodeling and when sidewalks become unfit.

City Attorney Hard said the Council may wish to reword certain portions of the proposed ordinance. Some Council Members questioned the need of 8 foot sidewalks along Interurban Avenue. Councilman Harris said the plans for the Interurban Corridor call for sidewalks. Chris Crumbaugh, audience, asked if sidewalks can be built in planting areas that are established? Mr. Crumbaugh said he would like some time to make some suggestions on this ordinance. Councilman Johanson said Section 5 of the proposed ordinance may pose problems.
