19800219 City Council Minutes.. -4 89'
• February 11, 1980 - continued
a route to and from the ferry dock, SR 1.04 having.been designed for that. She felt that a turning
lane was not necessary except -possibly where Puget Dr. becomes 9th..Ave. N. John Osterhaug of 1008
9th Ave. suggested the easement..be..extended. on.the north side, north, of the trees, putting the
sidewalk there. Jim Muller did not..think.the traffic at-3rd..and Caspers, or llth and Puget Way was
as.high'as had,been indicated, and'he questioned why a.current...trafficcount was not available. The
public portion of the hearing was. closed.
Councilwoman. Allen noted that there were.indications.on the record.from the rest of the City that
196th.had to be improved. Councilman Naughten stated that multiple zoning would not be permitted
just becausea highway is widened. He felt that the left-turn.lane and sidewalk were safety factors,
and he noted that the Council was not see -sawing back and forth on their decision, but they had
found it would take $88,000 of the citizens' money to insist on their first decision. Councilman
Gould raised the issue of undergrounding, noting that 81st to 88th had not been undergrounded
because that was not where the view properties were located. He asked if there was an explanation
for the reduction in State funding..- Mr. Herzberg responded that it was due to reduced consumption
of gas, -resulting in less tax money, and also.that.inflation.was.catching up with all of their
projects. Councilman Nordquist added..that Mr. Zirkle had indicated also that the commitment on the
right-of-way.acquisition was not, in fact, a State Highway Department policy, and he could not
understand,why the commitment had -been made. Councilman Kasper.felt the highway could be built
within 45',-. He did not see a solution without three.lanes in the upper area.and he felt sidewalks
were needed,.at.least on one side, as.long as it is retained as a State highway. Regarding the
lower area, he noted that there will.be-increased traffic turning on 7th Ave. because of the expansion
of the Holy -Rosary Church and school.. He questioned the need of three lanes west of 7th Ave.,
however, feeling that would be devastating. Councilman.Nordquist suggested there be three lanes
from Olympic to 7th, but not beyond, and he saw no reason for three lanes between Olympic Ave. and
MOTION:
Olympic View Dr. Councilman Naughten wanted to research this- more. COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN MOVED TO
CONTINUE THE SR 524 DISCUSSION TO FEBRUARY 19, 1980. COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST SECONDED THE MOTION FOR
DISCUSSION. Councilman Naughten said he would like to pursue some alternatives and make sure every
avenue has been covered. Mayor Harrison.asked Mr. Herzberg to review the proposed sidewalk location,
and Mr.�Herzberg indicated it on a drawing. Councilman Gould said he would like to see Councilman
Kasper's- proposal marked on a drawing.and also where the bus pullouts are proposed. He was also
interested in some different ideas on the sidewalk, for both the north and south sides. THE MOTION
THEN CARRIED, WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS KASPER AND ALLEN VOTING NO. It was noted that the public hearing
on the matter had been completed and there would be no hearing when the matter is next discussed.
Councilman Kasper then proposed a motion changing the design to.eliminate the turning lane -in some
areas, but Mayor Harrison ruled the.motion out of order.because the Council had asked for more -
information to be considered, and .Councilman Kasper withdrew.h.is motion.

With regard to Item (E),. after it was approved Councilman Nordquist asked Fire Chief Weinz what
he recommended as a budget adjustment to make up the $3,188 over the $25,000 budgeted for a new
aid car. Chief Weinz responded that he will have to watch his budget very closely, possibly
deferring until next year the purchase of a hose or other item.
With regard to Item (G), Arlene I. Hansen, one of the signatories of the quit claim deed, said
she and her husband.had wanted to deed to their children part of their property so their children
could build a house, and the City had required that this 30' be dedicated as a part of that
action. She wanted the Council to know that they had signed the quit claim deed under protest
and would be petitioning with several other neighbors to have it reduced to.15' because 30' was
excessive for the street needed there.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING 1980 BUDGET
[Item (D) on Consent Agenda]
Councilwoman Allen said this proposed budget -amendment included a.2.1/2% salary adjustment for
all employees and the Council had asked that salary changes for department heads be reviewed by
the Personnel Committee before they were effected. She asked that action on this be delayed
until a report was received from the Personnel Committee. COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN THEN MOVED THAT
PASSAGE OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENT ORDINANCE BE DELAYED UNTIL A REPORT IS RECEIVED FROM
THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE. COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST SECONDED THE MOTION FOR DISCUSSION. After a
brief discussion, THE MOTION CARRIED. Finance Director Art housler advised the Council that
the payroll checks were ready for delivery in the morning and this action would.affect the

Mr. Dibble. COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN GOULD,, THAT THE COUNCIL SUSPEND
ITS RULES OF PROCEDURE TO ALLOW THE REQUESTED DISCUSSION, AFTER WHICH THE MATTER WOULD BE
BROUGHT BACK TO THE COUNCIL. MOTION CARRIED. Following their discussion they returned to the
Council and Mr. Housler said that the M.A.A.., City Attorney, and.he recommended that this item
be removed from.the Council agenda and the ordinance will be'rewritten, omitting the salary
adjustment for department heads, and it.will be placed on the March.4.agenda. Mr. Murphy said
the checks which were already prepared would go.out, and.the department heads to whom he had
spoken were satisfied that the Council could make a salary adjustment, if that was their
inclination, by amending the ordinance passed last week and making it retroactive. COUNCILMAN
GOULD THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN ALLEN, THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE APPROVED FOR
REWRITING WITHOUT -THE DEPARTMENT HEADS' SALARIES. MOTION CARRIED.

AUDIENCE
Bill Chase of 7817 193rd P1. S.W. complained about activities at.the northwest corner of 76th Ave.
W. and 193rd Pl. S.W., saying there.was a trucking operation.there in a residential zone. He said
many complaints had been made to the .City .but there had been no action regarding this problem.
Mayor Harrison responded that the City.had been aware of the..problem for some time and a proposal
was submitted to the Council.last week to try to solve the problem but two of the four options
offered would require Planning Commissi.on.action, so the matter had been referred to the Planning
Commission. Councilman Gould said he had not realized there was a neighborhood problem which
generated that proposal. Mr. Chase said this property had been subdivided and then a huge garage
with living space above was constructed., with garage doors 14' high. He felt that even if the
structure was allowed to be built in a residential area it should conform to commercial requirements
regarding fire walls, etc., because of.the diesel trucks which he.said were kept there. City Attorney
Wayne Tanaka said that Mr. Cyr drives.tr.ucks for a living and.then parks the truck he is driving on
his property and sometimes he has friends visit who also havetrucks, and they park on his property.
He said that under the current Code.there is nothing to prohibit parking the trucks overnight on
private property --they cannot park on.the street but they'cannot be prohibited from parking on
private property. Further, Mr. Cyr cannot conduct a business operation from that house in a resi-
dential zone. Mr. Tanaka said the neighbors and their attorney had been advised that if the City
receives some evidence that a commercial business is being conducted out of that residence, then
something could be done about it. Mr. Chase read.a portion of..the Code which he interpreted to say
they could not park in open space,.and-he felt this area was open space. Jay Cyr of 19310 76th Ave.
W. then said his building has.only a 10' high door and that he had conformed to everything asked of
him. He said none of the neighbors had ever spoken to him about this and they were invited to
inspect the building where he stores.antique cars and not .trucks. He said he is not operating a
business but he drives his truck home at night. Further, if he had to tell his friends they could
•
not stop by'at night he would do that. He stated that he.had done everything the City Staff had
asked him to do. At one time
when a number of trucks wereparked on the property he said the Staff
had asked him to move them and he had done so. Mr. Chase said the Building Division has a file of
the complaints. Ted Truax of 19202 76th W. said he had seen as many as three trucks there and also
several big trailers, and he had watched them spray paint during the past summer and he felt this
was a kind of spray painting business and a severe fire hazard. Mayor Harrison advised again that
the matter is being processed through the Planning Commission, and Acting, Planning Division.Manager
Mary Lou Block stated it is scheduled for hearing before the Planning Commision on March 12, 1980.
HEARING ON FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLL.7S,ID-1-79, FIFTH AVE. SIDEWALKS
City Engineer Jim Adams. reviewed the specifics of this SID. The preliminary cost estimate had been
$9,447.11, with a $6.40 zone front foot charge, and the final assessment was the same. No protests
had been received. He requested approval and confirmation of the final assessment roll. The hearing
was opened to the public, no one wished to speak, and the hearing.was closed. COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SHORELINES PROGRAM, PROPOSED AMENDMENT -TO -ZONING CODE, PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO
BUILDING CODE, SECOND HEARING ON PREZONING FOR UNION OIL PROPERTY, AND HEARING ON PETITION FOR
ANNEXATION —UNION OIL PROPERTY
These five items on the agenda were heard together as they.were all very closely related. Planning
Consultant John LaTourelle briefly reviewed all of the items. The Council had been furnished
minutes of the Planning Commission hearings on each item and their recommendations. Mr. LaTourelle
noted that these were housekeeping amendments and that the prezoning for the Union Oil property will
be accomplished by a concomitant zoning agreement, copies of which had been furnished the Council.
With regard to the annexation, the Boundary Review Board had declined jurisdiction. The hearing was
opened to the public. John Phillips, attorney representing.Union Oil Company, noted that everything
•
they hadto say had been heard'by the Council previously. No.one else wished to speak, and the
public portion of the hearing was.closed. The following motions were then made: With regard to the

DECISION ON SR 524
Public Works Director Fred Herzberg reviewed this and displayed drawings of the area under
consideration. Councilman Nordquist said he had met with John Klasel.l,of the Highway Depart-
ment and he had not seen anything on the their map to show a center left turn lane east of the
intersection at Olympic. Mr. Klasell had indicated to -him that',the::Ciay°..would' have':toaacquire
more land in order to have that turning lane. 'Mr. Klasell further had said that as far as he
was concerned the road could stay 24' curb to curb up to a point about 250' east of the inter-
section or about at the west property line. -of the Joyce Apartments, at which time it must
expand to 36'. Mr. Herzberg said the right-of-way already was.available to the east. Council-
man Kasper felt.a left turn lane was mandatory at Olympic, going west. Councilwoman Allen
commented that the Subregional Council of the Puget Sound Council of Governments does not
consider 196th to be a problem area. She noted that there had been comments that the traffic
was down. Mr. Herzberg responded that he had been unable to get a traffic count this afternoon
as the information still had not gone through State's computers on the counts just recently
taken. Councilman Naughten also felt the left turn lane should be kept there because of the
safety factor coming down that hill and turning. Councilman Kasper stressed that it was needed
only turning south'at Olympic. Mayor Harrison felt the left turn lane should be all the way
from 9th to Olympic because it is needed to turn from Puget -to Olympic. View. COUNCILWOMAN
ALLEN MOVED THAT THE HIGHWAY BE PLACED IN A 45' MAXIMUM RIGHT-OF-WAY FROM OLYMPIC TO OLYMPIC
VIEW DR. COUNCILMAN GOULD SECONDED THE MOTION FOR DISCUSSION. He clarified that the highway
will be 36' located within a 45' right -of -.way and it will be moved to the most advantage and
will incorporate a left .turn lane going west.at Olympic and include a middle lane between
Olympic and Olympic View. Councilwoman Allen said she would leave it to the engineers to say
how the 45' would be handled but the sidewalk would be on the north side. THE MOTION CARRIED,
WITH COUNCILMEN KASPER AND NORDQUIST VOTING NO. Regarding the area from 7th to 3rd, Mr. Herzberg
said it would.be a surprise to drivers, particularly visitors, for the pavement to go from 40'
to 24', and going around a turn to a much narrower pavement is a problem. He recommended a 36'
pavement with a left turn lane southbound onto 3rd Ave. Councilman Kasper felt two lanes west
of 7th were all that were needed, and a third lane was not needed continuing west. COUNCIL-
WOMAN ALLEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN, THAT THE SECTION FROM 3RD TO 7TH BE TWO
LANES, THE TOTAL WIDTH TO BE A MAXIMUM OF 28', WITH A TRANSITION AT 7TH ALLOWING FOR A LEFT
TURN LANE ON THE EAST SIDE OF 7TH FOR TRAFFIC TRAVELING SOUTH. Pauline Thompson of 1151 5th
Ave. S., owner of the property at the southeast corner of 7th and Caspers, asked how much
property would be taken and she was told',it would be about 5'. THE MOTION CARRIED. It was
noted that the sidewalks in that section would be on the north side. Mr. Herzberg noted that
he proposed putting the sidewalk on both.sides of 9th up to the school. COUNCILMAN GOULD
MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN, THAT FROM 3RD TO 7TH, THE SIDEWALK BE DESIGNATED TO BE
ON THE NORTH SIDE. Roger Hertrich of 1020 Puget Dr. felt the sidewalk should be on the south
side between 7th and 3rd to keep the street as far away from the houses as possible. He felt
the same should be done between Olympic.and Olympic View Dr. --the sidewalk on the south to keep
the street farther away from the houses. He also thought there should be a jog between Olympic
View and Olympic Ave. to reduce the street and slow the traffic. Councilman Kasper agreed with
the sidewalk being on the south side for the entire run.. THE MOTION FAILED, WITH COUNCIL
MEMBERS KASPER, ALLEN, NORDQUIST, AND NAUGHTEN VOTING NO, AND WITH COUNCILMAN GOULD VOTING YES.
COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED.BY COUNCILMAN KASPER,.THAT THE SIDEWALK BE ON THE SOUTH
SIDE OF THE -STREET FROM 7TH TO 3RD AND.THAT..IT BE NO WIDER THAN 4'. MOTION CARRIED, WITH
COUNCILMAN GOULD VOTING N0: Mr. Herzberg suggested keeping three lanes from 7th to Olympic
View Dr. and he noted that the drainage problem at Hindley Lane will be resolved with a 30"
culvert to be included.in this project. COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN
ALLEN, THAT THE HIGHWAY BE 36' WITH.A TURNING LANE.FROM 7TH AVE. TO OLYMPIC VIEW DR. MOTION
CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST VOTING NO.. COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL-
MAN KASPER, THAT THE SIDEWALK BE ON THE SOUTH SIDE ALL THE WAY FROM OLYMPIC AVE. TO 7TH, AND ON
THE NORTH SIDE FROM OLYMPIC VIEW DR. T0.9TH,.WIDTH.NOT TO EXCEED 4'. COUNCILMAN GOULD MOVED TO
AMEND THE MOTION, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN, THAT THERE BE A SIDEWALK ON THE WEST SIDE OF
9TH AND THE NORTH SIDE OF CASPERS TO 7TH, MEANING THERE WILL BE A SIDEWALK ON BOTH SIDES. THE
MOTION TO AMEND FAILED, WITH COUNCILMAN GOULD AND NAUGHTEN VOTING.YES, AND WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS
NORDQUIST, ALLEN, AND KASPER VOTING NO. THE MAIN MOTION THEN CARRIED, WITH COUNCILMAN GOULD
VOTING NO. Mr. Herzberg noted that in most of the road there is no right-of-way for bus pullouts,
so that probably should be consistent for.the whole improvement. Mayor. Harrison did not think
bus routes should be scheduled on this street if possible. COUNCILMAN NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED
BY COUNCILMAN NORDQUIST, THAT THE CITY REQUIRE THE STATE TO PURCHASE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY NEEDED ON
THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF 7TH AVE. AND CASPERS. . Councilman Nordquist had received the impression
that the State would be amenable to this requirement. Pauline Thompson, the owner of that
property, said -to take the amount needed (15'.) would make that house uninhabitable, so they
would have to purchase the whole thing.. MOTION CARRIED; WITH COUNCILMAN GOULD VOTING NO.
Councilman Gould did not think the sidewalk should be on that side of the street.
DECLARATION OF COUNCIL VACANCY AND ESTABLISHMENT OF DEADLINE FOR FILING APPLICATIONS TO FILL THE
VACANCY
The City Attorney's Office had advised that last week's declaration of .the Council vacancy was
not valid because, last..week's meeting..was designated a special meeting, rather than a regular

Councilwoman Allen questioned the reason for adopting these when.a resolution was adopted in 1974,

invited Mr. Jessel to speak. Mr. Jessel introduced Nancy Dilworth, a landscape architect in his
division.,.who discussed three alternatives she had develoned,.illustrating each with drawings.
These.,iqere briefly discussed and the Council agreed to discuss them more fully, without public
