TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING December 17, 1984 Page 2 OLD BUSINESS Cont. Ordinance #1339 (continued) Resolution #934 Expressing the in- tention to consider annexation of terri- tory within the boundaries of King County Fire District 1 MOVED BY PHELPS, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT ORDINANCE NO. 1339 BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Byron Sneva, Public Works Director, recommended that the easterly access will be satisfactory for traffic going right in, right out. He recommended that the existing easterly access be revised to make a one lane in /two lane out curb cut for the property on the west side. They further recommend that the left turn island be extended to the west 50 feet. Councilman Duffie expressed concern about additional traffic accessing Southcenter Boulevard at this point. Councilman Bohrer recommended that only one curb cut be allowed along the west side of the property line. Attorney Martin suggested that the correct procedure to set conditions would be for the property owner to execute a concomitant zoning agreement that would specify any con- ditions Council desires. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, THAT THE MOTION BE AMENDED TO APPROVE THE REZONE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING AND THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER SIGN SUCH A CONCOMITANT AGREEMENT: 1. The only access to Southcenter Blvd. be a single access along the west side of the property, and 2. The access that currently goes to the balance of the pro- perty and is not being rezoned by this action be re- tained.** Councilman Bauch spoke against the amendment. The City does not have to guarantee access to back lots as long as the pro- perty is under one ownership. If the back lot is to be sold, then the property owner has to provide the access. *MOTION FAILED WITH BOHRER AND SIMPSON VOTING YES. Councilman Bohrer said this process of allowing two curb cuts to the property creates an unnecessary traffic hazard on southcenter Boulevard. *MOTION CARRIED WITH BOHRER AND DUFFIE VOTING NO.
