Public Hearing on prop. annex. of prop. adj. to 42nd Ave. S. S. 133rd St. Ben Angland, 16427 51st Avenue South, spoke for the proposed annexation. There being no further comments from the audience, Council President Bauch closed the Public Hearing at 7:30 p.m. Council President Bauch stated the environmental review is scheduled before the Boundary Review Board on September 26. The City Council must pass an ordinance after the BRB has waived jurisdiction. MOVED BY DUFFIE, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT PENDING THE DECISION OF THE BRB, AN ORDINANCE BE PREPARED AND PLACED ON THE AGENDA OF THE NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING. MOTION CARRIED. Brad Collins, Planning Director, reported the Environmental Review has not been received. Both property owners have petitioned the City for annexation. Council President Bauch opened the Public Hearing at 7:35 p.m., stating the Public Hearing will be continued to the October 7 meeting. Don Radford, 13308 42nd Avenue South, said a few years ago he had an accident at this location. He would like to see it annexed to the City. Chris Peterson, audience, said that when you have a residential area and businesses move in there will be congestion. A couple of companies have moved in and they have deteriorated the roads. Some of the roads are barely wide enough for two cars. He said he could not say "yes" or "no" on the annexation. The City should look into the noise and congestion. Joanne Poirer, 13405 42nd Avenue South, stated the houses on the land in question are unsightly; one is a dump yard, the other is vacant. Tires are piled about and present a fire hazard. She asked what the land use would be after the annexation? She stated she counted seven semi's going along Macadam on a Sunday. The roads are not built for semi's. In a meeting with the County they assured the people they would do something about the semi's. What does Tukwila intend to do about this? Brad Collins, Planning Director, said the County zoning is either residential or general it is thought to be residential. The City plan shows it as commercial. It does not address use. It would likely be R -1- 12,000. Zoning would have to go to the Planning Commission and then to the City Council. Mr. Collins said he would provide more information regarding the County zoning when it is available. Joanne Poirer, audience, asked if trucking companies would be permitted, if the area is annexed. Council President Bauch said he believes the City would not allow trucking in that area. The annexation will take approximately six weeks. Joanne Poirer, audience, asked if the area is annexed will the property be cleaned up? Council President Bauch said the Mayor can write a letter to the property owners. Terry Peterson, audience, said she had heard the property has been bought by a truck company and they plan to make that use of it. Council President Bauch said the City has no knowledge of that.

OLD BUSINESS Approval of Minutes: Sept. 9, 1985. Discussion of Central Business District Sidewalk Policies. Robert Storseth, Bellevue, said he developed Fostoria Park and would like to develop as light industrial on Lot 3. The long range plan is to continue with some kind of light industrial on the property. He said he did not intend to establish a trucking company. He stated he represents both property owners. The property is bounded on both sides by the City and it makes sense to annex it to the City. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL ON OCTOBER 7, 1985. MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY MORGAN, THAT THE MINUTES OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 9, 1985 BE APPROVED AS PUBLISHED. MOTION CARRIED. Council Member Morgan stated the letters from M. A. Segale and William Rademaker, Jr., representing the Boeing Company, be made a part of the Minutes of this Meeting. The two letters and attachment are attached and made a part of the Minutes. Jack Link, representing the Boeing Company, stated he was speaking for Mr. Rademaker who was unable to attend the meeting. He said he was in agreement with Mr. Segale and Mr. Rademaker's letters. He stated 6' sidewalks are not desirable and not needed. Robin Wilhelme, Chairman of the Transportation Committee of the Tukwila Chamber of Commerce, said she wondered if there was any comment regarding the covenants in the sidewalk policy? If they are unrelated, which is the position the Chamber of Commerce is taking, she would like to know if that is the position the City is taking. Brad Collins, Planning Director, said he believed the City has said that the covenants are unrelated to the City's sidewalk policies and ordinances. They have not be taken into consideration when administrating the sidewalk ordinance. There is some conflict between the Andover Park covenants and the sidewalk ordinance but the City has acted on the sidewalk ordinance not the private covenants. Mayor Van Dusen said the City Attorney has been asked to look into the covenants and make a report as soon as his review has been completed. It appears the covenants do not have a binding effect on the City. The amendments to the covenants are being considered. Council Member Harris said the covenants may not be legally binding but they are morally binding. They were the law of the land when they were put in. Byron Sneva, Public Works Director, said there have been examples where sidewalks have been installed where there are covenants existing. MOVED BY DUFFIE, NO SECOND, THAT THE SIDEWALK POLICIES GO BACK TO COMMITTEE AND THE BUSINESS DISTRICT COME IN AND FURNISH INPUT. MOTION FAILED, NO SECOND. Mrs. Shimatsu, 427 SW 154th, Apt. #4, Seattle 98166, said she represented the Shimatsu family at 16813 Southcenter Parkway, Tukwila, and she did not understand the sidewalk policy and the need for such wide sidewalks where her property is located. She requested a copy of the proposed sidewalk policies. Jack Link, representing the Boeing Company, said they were required to put in a sidewalk on Baker Boulevard and it was referred to as the "sidewalk that went nowhere." Sometimes they have been required to put in sidewalks and sometimes they have not had to. A 4' sidewalk is adequate, but not a 6' sidewalk. He stated he would like the sidewalk policies to go back to the committee so input can be gathered. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING September 23, 1985 Page 4 OLD BUSINESS Contd.

No a Booher, Recording Secretary MOVED BY DUFFIE, SECONDED BY MORGAN, THAT THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING ADJOURN. MOTION CARRIED. Edgar Bauch, Council President GENERAL POLICIES Policy 5: Policy 6: SIDEWALK PLAN POLICIES Policy 1: Tukwila shall create a functional, safe, compatible and convenient sidewalk and pathway system to encourage pedestrian use within the C80. Existing sidewalks that are a minimum of four (4) feet wide shall be deemed to be an acceptable interim measure in conformance with guideline and standards set forth in this document. The focal point in improving the sidewalk system shall be construction of missing sidewalk segments. Policy 2: The sidewalk and pathway system will provide a network to link CBO retail shopping centers, banking facilities, restraurants, hotels /motels, offices, manufacturing,warehousing, transit centers, recreational parks and trail systems. This system shall provide continuity to link residential neighborhoods with the CBD by providing access to bridges located along the perimeter of the CBD. Policy 3: Tukwila shall amend its sidewalk system as necessary to provide pedestrian route continuity to bus stops and any future Metro Transfer site. Policy 4: New sidewalks will be six (6) feet wide and have six (6) foot buffer zones between face of street curb and edge of sidewalk. Sidewalks shall be constructed on an intersection to intersection basis, using cement concrete and American Public Works Association Standard Specifications. Alternatives: (a) New sidewalks will confirm to the space avail- able, with varying widths and buffers. (b) Sidewalks shall be at least four (4) feet wide, with at least a three (3) foot buffer zone wherever possible. Where a 12 -foot space for sidewalks is not feasible, the design will be adapted to the available space through an administrative process involving the Public Works and Planning Directors. Alternatives: (a) Sidewalks will be designed on an individual block basis. (b) Determine a minimum standard in order to avoid nonconformance problems for landowners. Build larger sidewalks where space permits. Sidewalks and traffic intersection designs will be coordinated to accommodate both pedestrians and the largest allowable vehicles on the streets. Safety and traffic standards in the Transportation Comprehensive Plan will be met. GENERAL POLICIES Contd. Policy 7: Policy 8: FUNDING Policy 9: Policy 11: The intersections of major arterials with developed retail/ commercial land will include widening the sidewalk and paving the buffer zones at the intersections, and will be built to accommodate handicap access and pedestrian waiting space. An additional 4' for a length of 15' on these sidewalk corners is desirable. Wherever possible, sidwalks will be kept free of signal and street lighting poles, fire hydrants, commercial signs and other obstacles that diminish pedestrian use. The City Engineer, using the Tukwila Sign Code, shall determine appropriate use of potential pedestrian obstacles. Tukwila's sidewalk plan will be funded through a Bond Anticipation Note for the City's 51.1 million share of costs. (See Attachment A for a cost breakdown.) The Bond will be repaid from general revenues over ten years. Alternatives: (a) The City will earmark sales tax revenues to repay a $1.1 million, 3 -year Bond Anticipation Note. (b) The City will fund sidewalks from an LID in the development areas of the CBD. Policy 10: Business will donate rights -of -way or easements adjacent to CBD properties for sidewalks and buffer zones. It will be the property owner's responsibility to plant or otherwise landscape buffer zones, and to maintain Doth sidewalks and buffer zones, including installing sprinkler systems where necessary. Alternatives: (a) An LID in the developed CBD will be used to pay for buffer zones. (b) The City will pay for and /or maintain the buffer zones with funds taken from business district taxes. Developers are re ^uiredto build sidewalks and buffer zones to City specifications in new developments or redevelopment. In those cases where the City builds a sidwalk on undeveloped par- cels, landowners will reimburse the City for the expense of that sidewalk and buffer zone at the time that a building permit is issued for the parcel or the parcel that is subdivided. Alternative: The City will pay a portion of new sidewalk costs in new developments. FUNDING Contd. Policy 12: The City of Tukwila and private property owners shall mutually strive to accommodate the recommended sidewalk system within three years. Policy 13: Policy 14: Policy 15: Alternatives: (a) The City developments. (b) The City will pay for all CBD sidewalks including those in new developments. The City will build the sidewalks listed as "very high" or "high" in the sidewalk plan within two years. In the third year the City will build the remaining CBD sidewalks designated "medium" priority in the engineers' report. Alternative: The City will build the 15 projects in the sidewalk plan plus sidewalks on at least one side of every CBD street, within five years. Temporary sidewalks shall be allowed at such locations as the final grade of the adjacent street has not been determined and where future lane widening or traffic improvements will displace the sidewalk within 5 years. Temporary sidewalks shall be constructed using two -inch compacted depth of asphaltic concrete Class B on prepared subgrade. Alternatives: (a) Delay building sidewalks listed in the sidewalk plan which are on the top ten TIP street projects; build those as part of those street improvements. (These sidewalks account for approximately $200,000 of the City's $1.1 million Sidewalk Plan cost.) (b) Delay building those sidwalks on any planned street improvements until the improvements are being made. At existing signalized intersections pedestrian signal controls and crossings will be included at the time sidewalks are constructed. CONFORMANCE TO CITY STANDARDS Policy 16: Sidewalks and landscaped buffer zones built on easements on pri- vate property or on donated right -of -way will be included as part of the property owners' landscape requirements under the City's zoning code. Alternative: The Board of Adjustment will review variance requests for each case of nonconformance. Policy 17: Where existing parking stalls would interfere with sidewalk construction, the sidewalk standards of design will be modified by the Directors of Public Works and Planning to accommodate sidewalks with minimum impact on parking. CONFORMANCE TO CITY STANDARDS Contd. Policy 17 (contd.): Alternatives: (a) Parking will be reduced to allow a minimum 5 foot sidewalk. (b) Where it is not possible to build sidewalks without taking away required parking stalls, parking will take precedence oversidewalks. CROSSWALKS AND MID -BLOCK CROSSINGS Policy 18: Streets with sidewalks may require mid -block crossings with traffic signals. Such crossings shall be built when an engineering study shows it is needed and feasible. ThE study shall be triggered by the following criteria: At least 300 feet between crossings A minimum pedestrian volune of 30 /hour Traffic analysis determines that signal timing and traffic progression can be maintained. A gap delay of 30 seconds in traffic volume on an arterial street is acceptable. Accident data Policy 19: Painted crosswalks will not be provided where sidewalks do not exist. Pedestrians have the right of way at all marked crosswalks and unmarked crossings at intersections. Policy 20: Crosswalks should be marked at all CBD signalized intersections with sidewalks, to indicate pedestrian route continuity but should he signed to caution the pedestrian to cross only with the prover pedestrian signal control sequence. Pedestrian signal controls must be signed and incorporated into all new CBD signal control equipment where designated in the sidewalk plan report. -14 Mr. Bud Bohrer, Chairperson Community Affairs Committee City of Tukwila 6200 Southcenter Boulevard Tukwila, Washington 98188 Dear Mr. Bohrer: WILLIAM RADEMAKER, JR. ATTORNEY AT LAW 1411 FOURTH AVENUE SUITE 1120 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 (206) 624 -4494 September 20, 1985 Re: Central Business District Sidewalk Plan City of Tukwila ATTACHMENT TO MINUTES OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 23, 1985 1 represent William E. Boeing, Jr., Tri -Land Corporation, Mesabi Western Corporation and the Boeing Oregon Mesabi Trust, owners of considerable properties throughout the Central Business District in the City of Tukwila, Washington. My clients have expressed great concern about the substance of the proposed Central Business District Sidewalk Plan currently being considered by your committee. A review of the proposed plan, including proposed policies, results in the conclusion that substantial additional work and input to the plan and policies are necessary in order that a legally sufficient and workable program is put in place. The current proposal is so vague as to be violative of several constitutional safeguards. The document is ripe with potential abuses of police power as well as prospectively violative of numerous statutory and case laws. Further, it is doubtful that satisfactory procedural safeguards have allowed adequate public input to assure the City of Tukwila that the proposed ordinance could be adopted -let alone enforced. My clients, as well as many other property owners in the Central Business District, believe that the proposal with its policies as currently drafted Mr. Bud Bohrer September 20, 1985 Page Two is unworkable and violates many of their legal rights. It seems prudent that your committee should consider a substantial rewrite of the proposal, including attention to public input, and that the redr•fted proposal be given the public review it deserves.

BOX 88050 TELEPHONE: (206) 575 -3200 TUKWILA, WASHINGTON 98188 Attachment to Minutes of the Committee of the Whole Meeting Held September 23, 1985. SEGALE BUS /NESS PARK We are concerned about the above referenced Plan and the Proposed Sidewalk Plan Policies. The future development of the CBD will clearly be affected by these documents and by any ordinance which may be enacted in connection with them. For this reason it is essential that the process of developing and implementing such a plan is clearly and unambiguously set out with appropriate measures taken to ensure that public comment is encouraged, accepted and heeded. To date, the process has been less than clear. We have reviewed at least three different drafts of the same Proposed Sidewalk Plan Policies. This is very disconcerting and makes it impos— sible for us or anyone else to intelligently and thoroughly analyze our /their concerns about the Policies and the effects of the Plan and Policies on the CBD. The result of this frustration is that there is an effective denial of the public's right to contribute to the evolution of these documents. Turning from the process to the issues, we currently have the following concerns regarding what we believe is the most recent set of Sidewalk Plan Policies. To avoid any confusion, we have attached a copy of the Sidewalk Plan Policies to which these comments relate. 1. The Policies are vague and ambiguous. They provide several opportunities for abuse of police power and create the likelihood of copious litigation. 2. Although the Policies purport to identify a common standard for the CBD, by their ambiguity and numerous opportunities for individual treatment, they admit the impossibility of establishing such a standard. 3. Proposed design standards must be based upon clearly identified logical criteria, and not merely stated without any basis. 4. Existing sidewalks and designs for phased development of sidewalks should be identified and "grandfathered in" such that owners of those sidewalks are not punished for their foresight. 5. Once sidewalks are in place, they should not be subject to further revision due to changes to, or modifications of improvements on the subject property. Retroactive controls and changes, enforced by other governmental bodies should be prohibited. (i.e. Once the sidewalk is in, it is accepted and shall not be subject to further change.) 6. The Plan should be funded through an LID process such that the property owner whose land is being improved by installation of the sidewalk is responsible for the cost thereof. 7. The confusion regarding the cost estimates for sidewalk development should he clarified to address the entire scope of the sidewalk project, including any needed signalization, modification and /or other costs. We sincerely hope that the Committee and the Council will take into consideration our comments and concerns as expressed above as they go forward to develop and implement a cohesive and well thought out CPD Sidewalk Plan for the City of Tukwila.
