Comprehensive Water Council President Bohrer said the Comprehensive Water Plan will be Plan, discussion on brought back to the Committee of the Whole Meeting for discussion Consultant. at the request of the Finance and Personnel Committee. MOVED BY BAUCH, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT ITEM 7(F) OF THE AGENDA BE CONSIDERED AT THIS TIME. MOTION CARRIED. Brad Collins, Director of Planning, presented the staff report. Mr. Collins said the Planning Department recommendation is that the proposed Western Pacific Property site be brought into the City classified as C -M. An alternative would be that the annexation be denied and reconsidered when a larger amount of property wants to annex. The area is 3.2 acres. Councilman Hill noted that most of the area is single family, there are some new homes in the area. It is possible if it is zoned C -M or M -1 the people will have increased taxation by the zoning. MOVED BY BAUCH, SECONDED BY HILL, THAT THE PROPERTY DESIRING ANNEXATION BE BROUGHT INTO THE CITY AS R -l. Bill Turner, 13435 48th Avenue South, said he has a petition signed by 42 people living in the area who want to keep the area residential. Five new homes have been built in the area and the residents are concerned about the safety of children on streets; also with increased traffic there would be a noise factor and pollution. He said zoning to R -2 might be an alternative. Matt Little, representing Western Pacific Properties, said he represented the owner of the largest amount of property in the area seeking annexation. They would like the area annexed as C -M. The area is now indicated by King County as Suburban Residential. Winn Pritchard, 4521 South 135th, said he lives to the south and on the hill. If the change in zoning goes through he will be looking down on black roofs of warehouses. It is view property. It will spoil the residential aspect. Stanley Hill, 13645 46th Avenue South, said he lives across from the Pritchards. He has small children. He wondered why Mr. Little and his client want the zoning as commercial and thought it must be due to monetary gain. He said if the area is zoned commercial it will be hard to get anyone to buy a home in the area or on the hill. They also want to keep the taxes down. Elaine Unzeitig, applicant, said they started the annexation. People think all they want to do is sell their property. They are backed up to M -1 property. They bought their home 15 years ago; it was a duplex not a single family home. Their property has been up for sale about 8 months. Paul Sanders, 13407 48th Avenue South, said he has owned his property for 23 years. If the property is zoned commercial he will likely make more money if he should sell. Some of the trucks load and unload right in the streets. The noise is bad. He said he would like to annex into Tukwila. Clarence Cook, 13604 46th Avenue South, said the area has poor access to it. He said he was sure the taxes would go up if it is rezoned and the first property is sold. Richard Green, 13423 48th South, said he would be happy to pay more taxes because then he would think his property was worth more money. He said he signed to come in as !1 -1 or C -M. *MOTION CARRIED. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING October 11, 1982 Page 3 NEW BUSINESS Contd. Zoning of prop.
