TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING June 18, 1984 Page 3 NEW BUSINESS Cont. Proposed Resolution Granting an Unclassi- fied Use Permit to Seattle Rendering Works Proposed Ordinance Vacating property dedicated for street purposes, easterly 240 feet of the 12 foot alley R/W ex- tension of So. 143rd Place Attorney Haney read a resolution of the City of Tukwila, Washington, granting an unclassified use permit to Seattle Rendering Works in accordance with the provisions of Section 18.66.050 of the Tukwila Municipal Code. MOVED BY PHELPS, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE ADOPTED AS READ INCLUDING THE AMENDMENT OFFERED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY.* Council Member Morgan asked if the term "Unclassified Use Permit" would allow them to do other things besides the construction of a building with additional parking stalls. She was assured this was all. The second concern she expressed was complaints from citizens who live on the north hill of Tukwila, about odors emitted from the plant. Would a testing facility produce undesirable side effects for citi- zens in addition to the current odors? It was explained that there are no new activities going on. Councilman Bohrer explained that this action says the City is going to allow this facility to expand. We are going to allow construction of a new building; new floor area and more space for the owner to move currently existing operations to, hence, leaving additional space for them to expand their current operation. He said he is opposed to this. This con- tinues to be a troublesome facility even though the company has spent considerable money on improvements. Council Member Morgan said she is also concerned about the traffic this could possibly generate. She also wondered how this relates to the Interurban Development Study. Council President Phelps said the testimony from the Committee of the Whole was that the improvement would be for laboratory purposes with more countertop space available to sinks and create a better environment for testing. Council Member Morgan suggested that a Public Hearing be held to allow citzens to comment. Mrs. Marcelle Regel, audience, said that she was talking with someone who mentioned a fish processing firm located near the Rendering Works. An investigation should be made to see if there are other sources of odor.
