TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING October 7, 1985 Page 2 PUBLIC NEARING Continued Annexation of a parcel of prop. adjacent to 42nd Ave. S. S. 133rd St. (Fostoria Park) Council President Bauch reported that this Public Hearing was continued from the meeting of September 23 because the Environmental Review had not been completed. It is ready now and the Public Hearing can continue. Council President Bauch declared the Public Hearing open. Brad Collins, Planning Director, explained that the Declaration of Non Significance for the subject property was issued September 28, 1985. A revised check list is included in the Council Packet. Mrs. Elizabeth Springer, 13325 42nd Avenue South, stated that, as she understands, the zoning of this property on the Highline Plan is S -R, Single Family Residence. They spent a great deal of time studying the zoning in this area. The parcel in question has two houses on it. Housing is short in King County and, as we understand it, the owner of the property is proposing to tear down these houses and replace them with a building of some kind. In 1979 and 1980, some of the residents of the area further north thought they could maintain their single family status better in Tukwila. Those of us who have lived in the area a long time know better than that. We got out and campaigned against the attempt to annex to Tukwila. When the election was held, it was 2 to 1 against annexation. What will happen, two single- family residences will be destroyed and we will be left with no buffer zone against your Industrial Zoning. What bothers us, is that you do not police the area. The trucks are still using Macadam Road. The rumor goes even further that you will march across the street to the west where we all have our homes. There is little enough housing in King County, this is an excellent buffer against your manufacturing area and I suggest you leave it at that. I see no reason that it should be annexed to Tukwila inasmuch as less than five years ago we voted to maintain it single- family. Mr. Bob Storseth, 15610 SE 24th, Bellevue, said he is the contract- purchaser of the property. In answer to the question if he had requested a zoning change from King County, he said that he felt the property was a natural extension of the boundaries of Tukwila. It would be to his advantage and the City's advantage to make them one and coordinate his efforts through one municipal authority. Mr. Jim Guess, Kent, said he is owner of property right across the street from this proposed annexation. He asked to go on record as being in favor of the annexation. The housing in that area is substandard including their own property. An annexation and a rezone to warehousing would only improve the area. Mrs. Joan Poirer, 13405 42nd Avenue South, said the property is a ridge that dips right down to East Marginal Way, beautiful for trucking. Now, do you see the problem? As soon as warehousing goes in on that triangle you jump across the street. My only objection is trucking 24 -hour trucking and trucking on Macadam Road. We cannot battle this progression of industrial property. The battle right now is the quality that is going in. The Fostoria warehouses have been very good facilities other than for the problem with the Profit Company. If this property can be maintained, controlled and built so it is not trucking 24 -hours a day it still can be compatible to the residential area. We would like to maintain the availability of Macadam Road, you can not make the turns easily with buses and semis and you cannot run semis over that bridge continually. We would like to see a water report. Where is the pressure for fire protection? If we can work with the developer and be sure there is no access from this property on to 42nd then it might be a feasible situation. I am not against the annexation, I am against the heavy trucking. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING October 7, 1985 Page 3 PUBLIC HEARING Contd. Annexation of a parcel of Prop. adj. to 42nd Ave. S. S. 133rd St. (Fostoria Park) contd. Mr. Jerry Knudson, 6421 South 143rd Place, said he is a partner in the property across the street. As a property owner, he feels very strong that they would welcome the annexation of the property to the east into Tukwila. There are some strong points into coming into Tukwila. They have rules and regulations much tougher than what the County has to offer. They do not oppose the annexation of the property in question into Tukwila. Mr. Don Radford said he is part -owner of the property at 13308 42nd Avenue South. There has been a lot of discussion concerning the trucks. I have lived on that access for five years and have not seen that many trucks on 42nd or Macadam. I do not think the objection for the trucking should be consi- dered a major problem. There should not be trucks up and down Macadam, it was not designed for trucks. This should have no bearing on the annexation. Mr. Peterson, 13305 42nd Avenue South, said he is not against the annexation to Tukwila. I have to agree that 42nd and Macadam is not for trucks. I would like to see the area cleaned up and see that the larger vehicles stay on 133rd and the road below. I would like to see it annexed. 7:50 p.m. There being no further comment, Council President Bauch closed the Public Hearing. Revise Agenda 6 MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY MORGAN, THAT THE CORRECT DOCUMENTS BE DRAWN UP TO ACCEPT THE ANNEXATION AND THAT THIS ITEM BE PUT FORWARD TO A FUTURE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING AT THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT'S DISCRETION. MOTION CARRIED. Council Member Phelps commented that an issue that keeps coming up is the concern over the trucks that miss their turns and find their way into the neighborhood where they should not be. She asked to have the Public Works Department look into the signage within the City Limits. Maybe some directional signage might help. Council President Bauch said we need to confirm that the Air Freight Company is keeping to their time limit and to the size of thq trucks they agreed upon. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, THAT THE AGENDA BE REVISED TO HEAR ITEM 9(C) AT THIS TIME. MOTION CARRIED. Dev. proposal for Grp. Brad Collins, Planning Director, said this is a continuation of 5 Proj w /summary of a discussion started September 16 on a development proposed by soils traffic reports.Group 5 under Planned Residential Development in the zoning Council to consider code. At that time Council requested additional information request act upon about soils and traffic which is included in the Staff recommendation of Memorandum dated October 2, 1985. Staff's Conclusions were Planning Comm. as follows: Soils information indicates that normal excavation, landfill, foundation construction and drainage are adequate for the proposal. The recommendations of the soils engineer will be followed, but the Building Official can and may also require a construction bond for the project and /or a resident inspector on the site during any construction activity. This will adequately safeguard the hillside and ensure approval plans are followed. Traffic added to adjacent streets can be absorbed without creating problems or undue delays. At least the traffic projection numbers so indicate. However, adjacent residents can reasonably be expected to notice the additional traffic. Previous proposals are reflected in the current application to a great extent. That the Council approved 76 units in 1981, prior to adopting the current Zoning Code, does not prejudice current 103 unit proposal via the new planned residential development (PRD) procedure. The proposal has far less density than the PRD will allow by at least 20 and a significant increase in recreation space and facilities occurred.

Council to consider request act upon recommenda- tion of Planning Comm. contd. RECESS 8:15 8:20 P.M. OLD BUSINESS 1986 -1991 CIP Proposed Res. Council Member Harris said the Transportation Committee is recommending that 56th Place be broughtforward to the 1986 Residential Street Program. Council President Bauch called the Regular Meeting back to order with Council Members present as previously reported. Mr. Collins reported on his research. 3& 7 Council Member Phelps asked for research on conditions or special comments that came out of the previous waiver process. MOVED BY BOHRER, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES TO ALLOW TIME TO RESEARCH THE PREVIOUS CONDITIONS. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Rick Ryerson, 13939 SE 47th Street, Bellevue, said he is developer /owner. They are planning to have all of the work completed within 12 months. He wanted to do all of the excavating of the site to begin with and build the lower units first through the winter. With time getting so short, they may wait until spring. To not do all of the site work at once would be a lot of extra expense. MOVED BY MORGAN, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT COUNCIL ACCEPT THE FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS NO. 2 AND 3 AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN THE STAFF REPORT OF AUGUST 22, 1985 AND THE LETTER FROM RICK UELER DATED AUGUST 23, 1985. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, THAT CONDITION NO. 7 BE ADDED SO THAT THE DEVELOPER WOULD PARTICIPATE IN AN L.I.D. WHEN THE STREET IS UPGRADED. Attorney Haney suggested that the ownerssign an agreement that they will not protest the formation of an L.I.D. MOTION CARRIED, WITH DUFFIE VOTING NO. MOTION CARRIED, WITH DUFFIE VOTING NO. Attorney Haney said that a PRD is a rezone of property because it imposes use restrictions on a particular piece of property, because of this, he recommended that Council pass an ordinance approving the PRD. MOVED BY MORGAN, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT ADMINISTRATION DRAFT AN ORDINANCE FOR APPROVAL OF THE PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO BE PRESENTED AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING AT THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT'S DISCRETION. MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY PHELPS, SECONDED BY BOHRER, THAT ADMINISTRATION TAKE A LOOK AT THE INTERURBAN AVENUE ACCESS AND THE 56TH AVENUE SOUTH ACCESS, THE DECELERATION LANES WE HAVE DISCUSSED AND INCLUDE A BRIEF REPORT WHEN THIS COMES BACK TO COUNCIL. Council Member Phelps said that the site plan shows the right angle turns off of Interurban and the distance from the proposed signal. She would like to be sure these are covered. Councilman Bohrer wants to be sure 56th Avenue is included. *MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY HARRIS, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED.
