Mr. baker read the recommendation of the Planning Commission

one present wished to speak for or against the rezoning. LIr.
Goldsmith who lives in the area affected spoke in favor of the re-

Mr. baker asked the Gouncil members how they would' vote on
the rezoning. Mr. iuinkler said he would vote "yes irir. Anderson
voted "yes Mr. Radford voted "no" and Mr. Doyle voted "no" Mr.
Radford gave his reasons for thinking that there is no need, at
this time to make a zone change. His statement follows.
"We do not know, at this time, the exact location of either
the East -West or North -South Freeway. We do not know the
locations of Access and Egress roads, if any, in that area.
Business sites in the small area should not be planned without
having this information.
The property owners in that area, I understand, do not want to
sell tneir property, they want to develope it, and this develop-
ment they do not intend to start within the next two years. For
this reason I do not believe we would be causing a hardship on
any of the people by delaying a zone change in that area, at
this time.
January 11, 1960(continued)
Within the next two years or less, we should have a complete
Highway Plan for that area to work from and at that time I believe
the zoning should be changed to permit the property owners to
develope their property to their advantage and to the advantage
of the Town of Tukwila."
Since there was a tie vote and one Counc
not present, the hearing was continued, until
