The regular meeting of the Tukwila Town Council was called to
order by the Mayor, Charles U. i:aker, at 8 N.TVI. Councilmen present
were Stan lviinkler, A. G. Radford, Wynn Anderson, R. K. Doyle and
Stan Smith.
Mayor Baker stated that at the meeting of January 11, 1960, the
Council had considered the recommendation of the Planning Commission
for a rezone to C -1 of all that area lying immediately to the north
and adjacent to So. 154th St. which is presently zoned E -R -G.
There were only four members of the Council present at the meeting
of ,January llth and two voted for the rezoning and two voted against
the rezoning; therefore Mayor Laker stated he could not break against
tie
but would allow Mr. Stanley Smith, the abseht iaember to do so since
under State law he has no vote.
jr. Smith stated he had considered the reco:;mendation and would
vote to grant the request to change the present zoning to C -1.
Mayor Baker explained his position on this change of zoning. His
statement follows:
When a request for rezone conies to my attention 1 always hold
a discussion with the Councilmen on the effect of the rezone on
our future. After that I remain neutral, since the Mayor has no
vote. Each Councilman forms his own opinion and votes according
7.ly. I find that I am not in accord with the vote for the follow-
ing reasons.
With the officials of today rest the future of our town. We
should at all tunes keep in mind that we are zoning land, not
people. Our land should always be zoned for its highest possible
use. If we follow this principle we are zoning for the highest
future tax base for Tukwila. It is our obligation as officials
to protect this tax base for our citizens whom we represent. Gur
tax base, under this zoning, will be far less than other zoning
that could have been placed on this area.
1 cannot approve this action of a majority of the Council, there-
fore this Ordinance to rezone must become effective without the
approval of the Mayor. 1t
This date having been set for a hearing on a petition for annex-
ation, Mr Richard Bowen, Chairman of the annexation committee, again
read .the'petition and recommended its approval. Mr. Laker asked if
anyone present wished to protest the annexation. Since no one offer-
ed a protest and no written or verbal protests had been received,
Mr. Doyle moved the annexation be approved and an ordinance be drawn
up annexing the property described in the petition, seconded by IIr.
Smith and carried.
Minutes of the January meeting were read and approved as
corrected.
Current bills were read and upon motion ordered paid.
