AUDIENCE
Bob Pantley, representing the Shorelines Advisory Committee, said they had been
discussing changes in the CW zoned area at their last meeting. He said that
he personally would like to put up $500, if the City would put up a matching sum,
7'
for a detailed drawing of the CW zone which would establish property lines and
ownership, size of existing buildings, and economic life of existing buildings,
^'
for the purpose of seeing which buildings will be removed. He said now was the
time to make an analysis of -the area before it was too late. He proposed a
E
`
specific drawing be made from the aerial map Reid, Middleton had made of the
waterfront, Mr. Pantley said it should be a goal as things develop there to
try .to create more view o rientation,for the pedestrians and to create more
pedestrian traffic and less vehicular traffic. He said he had a draftsman who
would do a large part of the work at minimal cost and the Shorelines Advisory
,
Committee would also assist. Ile also felt a lot of his friends in the development
field would contribute ideas. Councilman Carns noted that the CW zone is the most
significant zone in the City, although it is the smallest. He felt it was
U
admirable that a citizen would offer -to pay half the cost of such a proposal.

with the Planning Department. City Attorney Jim Murphy suggested that Mr, Pantley
make his contribution to the City'and all the funds be transferred to the Planning
Department, thereby affording Mr. 'Pantley the opportunity of using the contribution
as a tax deduction:
Councilman Clement suggested, in view of 'this study being made to determine
appropriate uses for.the CW zone, that it might be appropriate to hold up any
more development there until the study is completed. City Attorney=Jim Murphy
said, there r•rould have to be a health reason for a moratorium, but he,could have;
a 'resolution by next week. Community Development Director John LaTourel.le said
f;
he would be hesitant to have a moratorium without first having'a very good idea
that policy changes are going to occur, and he':was certain the Shorelines Advisory
Committee had not yet made an intensive study of the appropriate uses for that
area. Councilman Clement felt there was more potential for some policy changes
at this time".than there previously had been. Councilman Carns said he would support
the.idea of a building moratorium in that area, and he notedthat in six months

Assistant City Planner Noelle Charleson said this was a 14-lot subdivision of about
15 acres, located just south of 212th St. S.W., west of 72nd Ave., and east of
76th Ave. She showed the location on the zoning map, and she showed slides of the
site. .She said separate environmental reports will be made on each individual lot
as it is developed. This site is zoned CG except for one lot which is presently
zoned RML and the applicant is applying to have that lot rezoned to BN. Ms.
Charleson said the proposed Nortlistar Dr. swings in where the gravel trucks used.
to go in this former gravel pit, so they are following the contours of the land.
A 25' perimeter setback was'being asked on this development because of the resi-
dential uses abutting it. The development probably will be for warehousing and
office buildings. It is a difficult site because of the extreme topographical
changes. Ms. Charleson displayed the plot plan and noted that one of the largest
problems was the access from North Star Dr. onto 212th St. The Fire Department
