According to these ex- cerpts from the County Commissionerd Journal of June 16, 1908, there is an area that in some manner has been de- leued from prevailing Tukwila maps. Mayo -7 Baker is working with the County Assessor's office to have this area restored to Tukwila. Mr. Minkler reported five building permits issued in June.

Shortly after our l:_. et c rticle, Gen- eral Electric gave their neee rete se on their building progrr;rn in Tukwila. 1%e have been aware of Gererr :i Elec- tric's Iec-tricts plans to loci to in Ando-rer for the p..st two ..yee re end. vi ,.t eco Tx:icus- ly for the public aneoaacenent. It has bean a difficult t sk not to men - tion their name during the past when so many rumors were floating around such as the one that .andover would never come into existence as en indus- trial park. With the Gener^1 Electric announce- ment our industrial future is begin- ning to take place. This company will attract other industries in supporting fields. In the not to distant future there will be two or three more relerses on na:+:tionelly knowa companies coming into Andover. ` There will be ' others coming to our town in the newt few yee.rs . Tukwila will grow and prosper es a city largely devoted to industry. As we mentioned before this is our proud moment of fulfillment for the many hundreds of hours - of work end planning throughout the past three ye rs It does not nein thwt all of the work is done. Aow codes theneed for rail spurs to be brought in to serve the area. Water meins must be instc.11ed so that these comprnies will have sufficient water.' Sewage treat- ment plants are yet to be built. Streets must be laid out, improved end dedicated to the town. These are only some of the projects that we are embarking upon thet must be completed before General Electric opens their` doors Lisy 1, 1961. With your.continued support and essistance we will try to e ccoaplish these t sks. This article h e be -n devot-:c: to our progress in our own town.

All petitioners were heard from and carefully quee tinned by the members of the commission. Mr. Paul. McKay, District Engineer of the State Highway Dept. vias present and was asked to make comment on the proposed rezone request. Ir. McKay rec.uested that the Commission keep his department informed en such matters so they could make recommendations or re- quests, and shod for the record that the problems had been discussed. He pointed out that while the enact loc- ation of the freeway and the inter- change was not yet officially firm, it would be very close to the present tentative location due to the fact that so much land had been acquired to the west and south of this area. This fact in itself would rule out any ma- joe change in the present proposed location. Ir. MacKay was asked how land values would be established in the path of .the freeway and he pointed out that the law was very explicit in the mat- ter of how land values were arrived at and that processes for appeal were available. He stated that the only thing holding up action in this area was the availability of funds, and he was confident that this matter would be taken care of in the very near fut- ure. Chairman Strander thanked ilr. McKay for his informative talk and stated that he would recess this meeting un- til Thursday July 28th, 1960 at 8:OOPM Chairman Strander opened the July 28 meeting at 8:O5P.M.

TukT;:il . i'1'; nning Commission recommend to the Town Council that the land described in the petition of the 14 landowners was from a land use consideration suitable for C-2 zoning. Notion carried without a dissenting vote. Ir.
