A. Bowen, D. R. Gardner, J. R. Johanson, G. D. Hill, P. F. Dunning, A. G. Radford and J. D. Sterling. The purpose of the special meeting was to hold a Public Hearing on a petition for change in zone classification of Interurban Addition to Seattle, Block 28 located on the east side of the City Park. Mayor Minkler opened the Public Hearing. Mr. Johanson explained the rezone petition. The petition was for a change in zoning from R.1 to R-4 the West 125 feet of Block 28 and from R -1 to R -4 Block 28 less the West 125 feet. Mr. Todd, the petitioner, spoke in favor of the petition, explaining the Planning Commission had covered any problems that could arise from the rezone giving ample protection to the City and the taxpayers. Mr. Johanson reported the Planning Commission recommended the rezone be granted subject to the following eight conditions: 1. The improvement of 67th Avenue South to minimum city standards, and suitable public turn around near the corner of 67th Avenue South and South 153rd. 2. Sufficient service be provided for fire protection with hydrants installed with mains as required by city standards located in an easement with loop created connecting the property from Southcenter Boulevard to South 153rd. 3. Provide for adequate storm drains to meet specific approval of city officials. 4. Decorative fence to be erected at south end of 0 -1 and R -4 zoning to prevent access from existing public streets and a landscaped strip adjacent tp park boundry. 5. First building be located approximately 40 feet north of the south boundry. 6. Signing of this development be approved. 7/ Owners of the property enter into a property use and development agreement which shall be a covenant upon the property. 8. That the plans for development be approved by the Planning Commission prior to issuance of a building permit; landscaping and signing details be included in the design drawings submitted for review. Discussion was held on each of the covenants with Mr. Hodge suggesting any general condition be specific before the building permit is issued. Under Item 1 it was felt a hammerhead turn around would be the answer. This would have to be sufficient to allow for the turning around of fire equipment. Mr. Johanson reported the Planning Commission would review all plans prior to any work on the development. Under Item 2. Mr. Todd reported it would be only feasible to hook on to the water system at the S. E. corner of the property at South 154th, then west to the back edge of the property, thence North to 153rd and pick up the present line at that location. The question of the sizing of these lines was discissed. This to follow the comprehensive water plan. Mr. Hodge suggested all utility agreements and bills of sale be egcrowed to be released at the proper time. This would be part of the PUD agreement. Item 3, Storm Drainage. Mr. Todd reported there is presently a drain across Southcenter Boulevard to the river. He would drain to that point. Item 4. Screening. Much discussion was held on the type of screening between the property and the City Park. Mrs. Warren Davis voiced her concern about the park. She would like to see fences with planned entrances into the park. After considerable discussion it was decided a planting strip between the park and the property would be agreeable. A decorative fence would be required between the property and the land to the south. Mr. Radford questioned slopage behind the C -1 area, and if it would be possible to develop the land as projected. Mr. Todd reported the land was primarily rock formation. Mr. Lew Trudeau questioned if the hillside is cut into, will there be provisions for rockery or retaining wall to keep dirt and rock from flying on the road. Since the first 100 feet would be 6 -1 and at street elevation, any rocks falling will fall on Private property. April 12, Page 2 Item 5. This to insure separation of development from the adjacent R-1 area. ITEM 6. Mr. Hodge suggested this real "All aspects of signing, including construction, materials, lighting, size and location of signs be approved at the sole discretion of the Planning Commission. Item 7. Mr. Hodge explained the normal PUD Agreement now in use protects the city so it is not out of pocket any monies. Terms of the PUD agreement were discussed. Mr. Hodge stated he felt Mr. Todds pending case on this property should be dismissed. Mr. Todd further reported Mr. Desmone was apparently not interested in having his small portion of this property rezoned and asked to have that portion deleted from the rezone request. Mr. Johanson reported all covenants will be attached to the property no matter who develops. The Ordinance will not be passed until the PUD Agreement is signed. The Planning Commission will check all compliance with the PUD Agreement. Mrs. Warren B. Davis spoke in favor of granting of the rezone. Noise from the freeways wouldn't be right for R-1 zoning on this property. This is why she voted for the rezone and recommended the Council also grant the petitioners request. Mr. Dunning made a motion the Public Hearing be closed. Motion seconded by Mr. Bowen and carried. Mayor Minkler polled the members of the Council on the granting of the rezone request. All concurred on granting the rezone subject to the signing of the PUD Agreement. Mr. Dunning made a motion the City Attorney prepare a Property Use and Development Agreement for the property under discussion. Motion seconded by Mr. Sterling and carriedl. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting adjourned at 9 :40 P.M. ATTEST: MAYOR
