recommendation.. City Attorney John Wallace also noted that the location has
been a problem in some cases because of traffic. Mr. Gallagher said there is
no actual parking permitted in their area except for service vehicles, and they
rely on the Boat Loft and the gas dock for business and also service foot traffic.
Councilman Gould explained that there had been a drinking problem recently on
the beach and the Council had been concerned about the ,juxtaposition of Mr.
Gallagher's business in relation to the beach. He said he granted, after visiting
the site, that it is in an out-of-the-way place and probably will not lend itself
to the other problem. He asked if the approval could be withdrawn if a problem
should evolve, and City Attorney John Wallace advised that there was no trial
period and the approval could not be withdrawn unless violations were found. THE
MOTION THEN CARRIED.
HEARING ON P.C. RESOLUTION 570 TO AMEND OFFICIAL STREET MAP TO ADD 207TH ST. S.W.,
BETWEEN MAPLEWOOD DR. AND 88TH AVE. W., AND TO REMOVE 88TH AVE. W. FROM 205TH TO
MAIN ST. (FILE ST-11-77)
APPROVAL PREL'IMINARY'PLAT' "MAPLE4J0O0:'ARBOR" (FILE' P-4-77)
Community Development Director Joe Wallis suggested these two items be heard
together as they are closely related, and that separate actions then be taken on
each. He showed the location on the Zoning Map and noted that zoning in the area
is RS-12 and RS-8. He said 205th S.W. has a 50' right-of-way; 88th Ave. W. is
to the east and does not go all the way through, stopping at 205th; Main St:
is to the south; and Maplewood Dr. is to the west. It was proposed that 207th
would have a 40' right-of-way, and that 88th W. would be removed from 205th to
Main St. as it is not needed. The City would retain the right-of-way as a
utility easement, however.' Councilman Gellert noted that the Council's decision
would affect the long-range development of Lots 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 22, and 23
indicated on the map displayed, and he inquired about access to the various lots
if 88th were removed from 205th to Main St. The access information was not
readily available, and Mr. Wallis requested that the action on the preliminary
plat of Maplewood Arbor not be delayed even if street map amendment had to be
delayed. He said it would be necessary to the plat to add 207th S.W. from
Maplewood Dr. to the present Official Street Map alignment of 88th W. Wayne Hovde,
developer of the plat, explained that it will be a six -lot subdivision. The
topography of the site slopes slightly to the east and there is a large group of
trees at Lot 2. Zoning is RS-12 to the south, RS-12 and RS-8 to the east, and RS-12
to the north and west. A drawing of the preliminary plat was displayed, and it
was noted that 25' would be dedicated for 207th St. and when the area is fully
developed there will be a total of 40' dedicated. Mr. Wallis said there would
not'6e any significant negative environmental impacts, and he recommended the
plat be approved as proposed. He said there were two requests from the applicant:
to allow the street to exist at 25' until it is fully developed; and not to be
required to remove an existing garage/shed as recommended by the Planning Commission.
Public Works Director Leif Larson noted that sidewalks would be required on the
developed side of 207th St. and that when the northern property developed the street
would be completed. Mr. Hovde said the sidewalk had been recommended to be on the
north side, only when that is developed. He said if a sidewalk were put in now
there would not be space for traffic and parking. Mr. Larson said these were
engineering standards to which he did not make exceptions, and he had discussed
this with Mr. Hovde's engineer. Jerry Lovell of Lovell, Sauerland & Associates,
engineer for the developer, said he had met several weeks previously with the two
property owners to the north, Ms. Charleson from the Planning Department, and
Dick Allen from the Engineering Department, and an agreement had been reached that
there would be 20' of pavement put in with curbs, all utilities, storm drain, and
water hydrant. He said all of these plus a sidewalk on the south side would be
an unfair contribution of this developer, and that they were asking that no sidewalk
be constructed on the south side of the street in connection with this development.
He said they would construct a temporary "T" turnaround at the east end of 207th St.
so that any cars going in can turn around and get out. Mr. Larson then stated that
