STATEMENTS
Mr. Gully, 13017 42nd Avenue South, Seattle, Washington stated: His property
adjoins the property on two sides and asked what the property will be used for and
what the zoning will be. He is against the annexation particularly if the zoning is
to be changed. Mr. Bowen explained the city has to accept petitions for annexations
with the property coming into the city as presently zoned. If there is a later
request to rezone the property it must appear before the Planning Commission and the
City Council with public hearings advertised for both petitions.
Stella Edison, 4140 South 130th, Seattle, Washington stated: If the property is not
to be zoned as a multiple residence, why annex into Tukwila. She is against the
annexation particularly if there would be a later request for rezone.
James,Norman, 4123 South 130th spoke against the annexation
Betty Gully, 13017 42nd Avenue South Would these residing in the county have
as much voice in protesting any further rezone petition if the property in question
was annexed into the City of Tukwila and the adjoining property was not. Also
questioned if the City or the County own the portion of 42nd Avenue and the width of
the street. (That portion of 42nd Venue South belongs to Tukwila and the width of
the right of way is 40 feet.) She further explained she was mainly against the
annexation as they prefer remaining in the county and see the annexation of just
one parcel as a toe hold for Tukwila annexation across 42nd Avenue South.
After legal council from the City Attorney, Mr. Bowen made a motion the Public
Hearing be closed and action be deferred until the City of Tukwila hears from the
County Boundry Review Board in regard to the requested waiver and, further, that all
interested parties be advised of the time and date of the meeting at which further
action will be taken on the annexation petition. Motion; seconded by Miss Nelsen and
carried. The Public Hearing was closed.
Mayor Minkler read a Public Hearing notice and certification of posting for
the annexation of certain property to the City of Tukwila, known as the Cooper property
City Attorney Donald Cole, related the recent developments in this case going back
to the 1962 annexation. King County has alleged the prior annexation was not binding
and had stopped construction on a building permit which had been issued by the City
of Tukwila. Earlier this month the court had issued a temporary Writ of Jurisdiction
commanding the County to stop exercising jurisdiction. The Superior Court hearing
had been held December 18th in which the Writ of Jurisdiction had been made permanent;
the Judge stating the County was two years late in challanging the annexation and the
1962 Ordinance was upheld in its intent. This was an oral decision and would not be
final until signed by the Judge. This action would then preclude the results of
any Public Hearing held at this time.
