1. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Faison called the meeting to order at 5:27 pm.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The summary minutes of the August 4, 2003 meeting were approved as presented.
PUBLIC COMMENT
J.D. Lee of Lee and Associates, representing Ick Kim, a property owner on South 333rd Street spoke regarding raised
medians and a perceived lack of access to businesses and homeowners in the area. Mr. Lee requested that the
Committee and Council consider median breaks along the SR 99 corridor, providing left turns into and out of businesses
and side streets. Mr. Lee contends his client did not understand there would be no left turns during the public comment
phase of this project.
Mr. Roe responded that during the public comment phase (including several open house forums, meetings, and public
outreach efforts via mail) that raised medians would be'implemented on this project. Mr. Roe will be preparing a
comprehensive memorandum to the City Manager and the Council explaining the rational for raised medians, and the
differences between medians for the Phase I and Phase II projects. Phase I provided median breaks at only three
locations, Ross Plaza; Pavilion Center, and SeaTac Village, with clear criteria for such breaks.
Mr. Roe will have the memorandum prepared for inclusion in the October 20, 2003 LUTC agenda.
Ms. McClung read into record a letter by Ron Gintz expressing his strong support for changing sign regulations for
freeway-oriented businesses.
Mr. Moseley read into the record a letter from the Homeowner Association Board of Regency Woods supporting
consideration of the annexation process for Federal Way.
4. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. Selection Process for Changes to the Development Regulations - Contract Planner Janet Schull gave an oral
presentation following the materials provided in the Committee agenda packet. Staff recommends that the LUTC
recommend to the full City Council to not select the proposed zoning text amendment for further study.
Denise Hammel, the attorney representing the Irmas Charitable Foundation expressed her support for changes to the
regulations, as it would provide her clients the means to continue their philanthropic work. Currently, the Foundation
feels they are unable to sell their property because of current permitted uses.
Gil Hulsman of the Abbey Road Group presented to the Committee a Zoning Text Amendment Packet which included
information on new, more aesthetically-pleasing mini-warehouse storage facilities. Mr. Hulsman stated that this zoning
change would benefit many multi-family residents who currently have limited storage facility available to them. Also, the
K:\LUTC Agendas and Summaries 2003\September 29, 2003, LUTC Minutes doc
new storage facilities provide office space at the front of the business. Mr. Hulsman asked that staff again review their
request and the options available in terms of the new, joint-use facilities.
Bob Burton, of Kennedy Wilson, reported to the Committee that the land has been vacant since 1979. Mr. Burton has
been actively pursuing a user for this property for four years. Most inquiries he receives are from parties interested in
building a mini-storage facility. The next most predominant inquiries are from churches asking for donation of the land.
Lastly, truck drivers wanting to park large trucks and espresso stand owners have also expressed interest.
Mr. Burton stated that the property is reasonable priced based on market research, but without zoning changes, it will
continue to stand vacant.
The Committee recommended to the full City Council to include this request in the comprehensive review of the
Neighborhood Business Zone in 2004.
B. Year 2003 Asphalt Overlay Project AG #03-045 - Final Project Acceptance and Retainage Release - This
project is complete. The final construction amount is $1,886,375.69 which is $376,299.81 below budget (including
contingency). The Committee voted to place final acceptance of the 2003 Asphalt Overlay Program and Retainage
Release on the October 7, 2003 Council Consent Agenda.
C. 2004 Asphalt Overlay Program Preliminary Project List and Authorization to Bid - Mr. Salloum presented the
preliminary Project List to the Committee. The estimated total program cost is $1,641,373. The total funding available
is $1,305,882. The Committee voted to place approval of the list of streets for the 2004 Asphalt Oveday project, and
authodzafion for staff to bid all or part of the project on the October 7, 2003 Council Consent Agenda.
D. Weyerhaeuser Way and S 336th Street Roundabout- 100% Design Approval and Authorization to Bid - Mr.
Salloum presented the project to the Committee. The estimated project expenditures are $1,121,390. Available
funding, including funds from Weyerhaeuser, total $1,053,420; creating a budget shortfall of $67,970.
Mr. Salloum recommended that staff take the project out to bid. If the project comes back under budget, staff will retum
to LUTC for award authorization. If the project comes back over budget, staff will return to LUTC for consideration of a
budget adjustment. The Committee voted to place this item on the October 7, 2003 Council Consent Agenda.
E. Ordinance to Create Steel Lake Management District Number One - Mr. Bucich noted a correction on the
Memorandum to LUTC; the date of the public headng should read November 18, 2003, not November 14. The
Committee voted to place the passage of the ordinance on the October 7, 2003 City Council Agenda for consideration.
The Committee also voted to place setting a public headng date for November 18, 2003 for public comment on the
assessment roll for properties within the district on the October 7, 2003 City Council Agenda for consideration.
F: Bathymetry Mapping - Mr. Bucich gave an oral presentation to the Committee on the benefits of bathymetry
mapping. Also, Mr. Bucich encouraged the Committee to enter into an inter-local agreement with King County to
achieve bathymetry mapping at a significant saving to the City. The Committee voted to place approval for an expense
of no more than $6,000 for bathymetry mapping on the October 21,2003 Council Consent Agenda.
G. 2003/2004 Implementation of Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Plans and Program Agreement w/WSDOT-
The Committee voted to place approval of the 2003/2004 Commute Trip Reduction and Program Agreement with
WSDOT on the October 7, 2003 City Council Consent Agenda.
H. 2003/2004 Commute Trip Reduction Program; Professional Services Agreement with King County Metro -
The Committee voted to place approval of the 2003/2004 Commute Trip Reduction and Program with King County on
the October 7, 2003 City Council Consent Agenda.
I. Presentation on Annexation Issues - Based on a conversation she had with a property owner at the front
counter this week, Ms. McClung noted that bad information continues to circulate amongst property owners following the
open house held last week.
Ms. McClung asked the Committee if there were any questions on the PAA Study; there were none. Ms. McClung then
gave an overview of the remaining areas under consideration for annexation. Ms. Wang distributed a financial analysis
for the 2003 proposed annexation.
Ms. Wang noted that there were two methods for compiling the information, the first method used a pro-rated formula
based on existing operating costs, which resulted in an overall per capita operating revenue subsidy of $136. The
second method was to evaluate a specific need based on the characteristics and demographics of the area, resulting in
an overall per capital operating revenue subsidy of $12.
I~:\LUTC Agendas and Summaries 2003~September 29, 2003, [_UTC Minu~es doc
Chair Faison recommended that the Committee not move forward with consideration of the Northlake annexation area.
Chair Faison will be meeting with residents of Northlake next week, and will be better prepared to make a decision
following this meeting.
Frank Evans of Kenmore Lanes in the Redondo-East area spoke on behalf of annexation. Mr. Evans presented a letter
to the Committee outlining his opinion that re-opening the Sportsworld complex in the PAA would bring a significant
gambling tax revenue to the City. Mr. Evans would like to City to consider reducing the gambling tax.
Deputy Mayor McColgan asked Ms. McClung to outline any advantages of annexation to current Federal Way residents,
given the subsidies that would be incurred. Ms. McClung answered that citizens in the annexation area would be served
by a local government, rather than a more removed, county government. The City is able to provide better and faster
service to citizens in the PAA, and it is cheaper for the City to provide those services than for the County.
Deputy Mayor McColgan asked Ms. McClung to clarify the benefits, if any, to existing residents rather than to residents
of the PAA. The response was that permitting for these areas would be controlled by the City, which ensures that there
are no negative effects from differences between the County's permitting requirements and the City's.
Furthermore, Ms. McClung feels that a higher population gives more weight to the City for regional issues. Mr. Burhans
stated that residents in the PAA currently use Federal Way as their City. They shop here, use the City's parks and
recreation resources, facilities, etc. There is a benefit to treat these citizens as residents of Federal Way and to
encourage more involvement in the economy of Federal Way.
Ms. McClung further expanded on the topic of permitting by clarifying that by controlling the permitting process, the City
would be able to directly control development in those areas and the subsequent effect to the City, including
environmental impacts and sprawl.
Chair Faison stated that the PAA is currently under-served by the County Sheriff's Department, potentially leading to an
increased cdme rate which passes City boUndaries and to the City. Furthermore, there are substantial areas of vacant
land. The County allows for smaller lot sizes than the City, creating greater density. The City should act now so that
density can be controlled, rather than inheriting a higher density area at a later date.
Councilmember Park noted that with Kent's recent annexation, they have surpassed the City of Federal Way in terms of
population. Furthermore, he expressed now that the infrastructure problems have been solved in the PAA, there is no
excuse to not take on these new areas. Councilmember Park asked Mr. Roe for the cost to maintain the streets in the
PAA and for any additional funds not idenfified by Ms. Wang.
Mr. Roe responded that there is not enough detail in the current study to provide an exact figure for maintaining the
streets. However, the quality of the streets is not up to current standards, including sidewalks, street lights, paving
quality, etc. These streets are more rural in nature and significant updates to the infrastructure would be required.
Mr. Burhans stated that the parks and recreation areas also need to be taken into consideration.
Deputy Mayor McColgan asked for the amount of undeveloped land in the Parkway area. Mr. Burhans replied that the
area is mostly residential and largely developed.
Councilmember Park asked for a revenue analysis of the Redondo East area, and specifically for the cost of Public
Safety and the 60% discrepancy between the two methods used to calculate the annexation analysis.
Ms. Wang answered that the total cost includes FTE, court and dispatched calls for service.
Deputy Mayor McColgan asked about the difference in public safety costs in residential vs. commercial areas. Ms.
Wang replied that the analysis did not reflect a difference. Deputy Mayor McColgan stated that the authors of the PAA
study noted a 25% distinction between residential and commercial areas.
Councilmember Kochmar inquired about the gambling tax estimate and whether or not there is a card room in the area.
Mr. Burhans answered that there are only pull tabs, no card rooms.
Councilmember Kochmar asked at what point staff increases are triggered when considering a 20,000 increase in
population. Ms. Wang answered that when workload begins to change. Regardless of an annexation, an increase in
workload ddves addition of staff; an example would be with permits. As permits increase, it is possible that staffing
would also be increased. Annexation of a large population of people does not alone tdgger an increase of staff.
Deputy Mayor McColgan inquired about the cost of an annexation election. Ms. McClung answered that the estimated
cost is $2.00 per registered voter, based On information from the King County Records and Elections office.
K:\LUTC Agenda~ and Summaries 2003~Septernbcr 29, 2003, LUTC Minutes doc
Councilmember Park stated that with an election cost of $2.00 per registered voter multiplied by an estimated 1,100
citizens for a total election cost of $2,200 would be worthwhile.
Deputy Mayor McColgan voted against the PAA as he stated he is unsure of the benefit and advantage to current
Federal Way residents while a clear disadvantage of $226,000 exists. Staff stated that the cladfied cost is $58,000
based on the second method used in the 2003 Annexation Analysis. Deputy Mayor McColgan disagrees with the costs
represented in the spreadsheet.
Councilmember Kochmar wants to encourage Regency Woods to use the petition process. Councilmember Kochmar is
unsure of the cost of annexation, and feels that current residents should not be burdened with the cost of annexation.
The Committee agreed to not act on the Nodhlake area until after Chair Faison's meeting with the residents next week.
The Committee voted to direct staff to prepare a resolution for adoption by the Council to enter into negotiations with
King County over an Intedocal agreement for the annexation of the Redondo East area. The Committee further voted to
direct staff to prepare a resolution for Council adoption at the October 21,2003 meeting to put the Regency Woods area
annexation on the next available election.
H. Changing Sign Regulations for Freeway Oriented Businesses - Deputy Mayor Mccolgan discussed the
benefits of encouraging growth by appropriate signage. Ms. McClung discussed a tentative idea for creating a new
zone such as "Freeway Commercial".
Deputy Mayor McColgan moved to add this item to the Community Development Work Plan and Planning Work Plan.
Councilmember Park seconded. Chair Faison asked for cladficafion; do they want the work on the 2003 Work Plan or
for 2004. Chair Faison suggested the 2004 Work Plan as the 2003 Work Plan is already full and the year is almost over.
The Committee voted to address pdoritization of the 2003 work plan at the October 20, 2003 LUTC meeting.
FUTURE MEETINGS
The next meeting will be October 6, 2003. Future meeting agenda items include the Quadrant Cluster, 51st SW Storm
Mainline Replacement, 100% Design Approval for Stormline Replacement Project and a GIS Mapping update.

1. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Faison called the meeting to order at 5:31 pm.
The committee voted to change the order of the agenda. Items 14, G, and F, respectively, were discussed prior to items
A-E.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Charles Gibson, representing the fifty-four members of the Northlake Community Club, spoke for his group and asked
that the Northlake area be included in any annexation initiatives set forth in the near future by the City. He added that
services are already provided by Federal Way and King County demonstrates ever-diminishing resources.
3. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. FWSD Capital Facilities Plan and Proposed 2004 School Impact Fee - The City received the Federal Way
School District Capital Facilities Plan with the proposed school impact fees for the City's annual review and adoption.
The new fees, effective January 1, 2004, are $3,269 per single-family unit and $940 per multi-family unit. This a $625 or
16% decrease from the $3,894 single-family rate; and $154 or 14% decrease from the $1,094 multi family rate. The
Committee voted to recommend the City Council approve the new school impact fees at its November 4, 2003, meeting.
B. Resolution Authorizing Federal Way to Participate in the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan of King County-
Federal Law mandates that all States, Counties, Cities, Special Purpose Districts and Native Tribes develop a Hazard
Mitigation Plan by November 1, 2004, in order to qualify for future grant funding supporting hazard mitigation initiatives.
The mission of the plan is to reduce the impact of natural, technological and human caused disasters upon the
communities within King County. Future phases will include review of additional vulnerabilities as well as continued
efforts to update the Mitigation Plan. The Committee voted to recommend the City Council approve the resolution
authorizing participation in the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan of King County at its November 4, 2003, meeting.
C. SW 323rd Street/SW 320th Street Crosswalk Relocation - The Committee recommended approval to the City
Council at its November 4, 2003, meeting for the relocation of the existing crosswalk across SW 320th Street at SW
323rd Street intersection to approximately 430 feet to the east with required pedestrian refuge island, signage, pavement
markings and curb ramps.
D. Lakota Creek Restoration Project - 85% Design Approval - This project would restore approximately 4,630
lineal feet of the west branch and mainstem of the Lakota Creek from South 320th Street downstream to the upstream
end of the Lakota Wastewater Treatment Plant. The restoration activities of the project include placement of log
structures, placement of streambed gravel, removing fish passage barriers, stabilizing the channel and stream bank,
creating an off-channel pool, channel realignment and restoration, and revegetation. The Committee voted to
recommend to the City Council at its November 4, 2003, meeting to authorize Surface Water Management (SWM) staff
to proceed with design of the Lakota Creek Restoration Project and return to the LUTC Committee at the 100% design
completion stage to proceed with the bid; and authorized SWM staff to continue negotiations for necessary easements
and return to Council for authorization to execute easements.
E. Lakota Wetland Regional Pond Improvements Project - 50% Design Approval - This project consists of
increasing a continuous berm adjacent to the Lakota Wetland Regional Pond and installing a new outlet control structure
The Committee voted to recommend to the City Council to authorize Surface Water Management (SWM) staff to
proceed with design of the Lakota Wetland Regional Pond Improvements Project and return to the Land Use
K:\LUTC Agendas and Summaries 2003\October 20. 2003, LU1-C Minutes doc
Transportation Committee at the 85% design completion stage for further reports and authorization; and authorize SWM
staff to proceed with acquisition and negotiations on the two private parcels and return to Council for authorization to
execute a purchase and sale agreement.
F. 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments Selection Process - In September 2002, the City received four site-
specific requests for changes to Comprehensive Plan designations and zoning, and one request to delete a future road
from the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan. The individual Comprehensive Plan Amendments were discussed for the
Trimble, Velasco, Lee, Kirk/Nelson, and Quadrant properties. Dennis Holt of Holt and Associates, Inc., in Kent spoke in
favor of the Kirk/Nelson property Comp Plan amendment and zoning change; Wally Costello of the Quadrant Company
spoke in favor of the deletion of the future extension of Weyerhaeuser Way from the Comp Plan. Each issue invited
lively Committee debate. The Committee agreed unanimously on the Quadrant request going forward based upon a
Transportation Impact Analysis that would support the elimination of the northerly extension of Weyerhaeuser Way
South. Votes taken on the remaining four parcels supported the staff recommendation that the requests not go forward
for further consideration, although Committee opinions were split. The Committee's recommendations were forwarded
to the City Council for discussion at their November 18, 2003, meeting.
G. Raised Medians Along SR99 Corridor - Raised medians add safety for both motorists and pedestrians. Medians
keep traffic flowing better and reduce accidents by limiting left-hand turns. As Phase II of Highway #99 proceeds, the
rd
rd
plans indicate that no lefts would be allowed at South 333 Street. The stretch of roadway from South 333 Street to
South 336th Street has historically recorded a high number of accidents and DUIs because there are too many left turns
and no traffic control lights. J. D. Lee, of Lee and Associates, representing Ick Klm, a property owner on South 333rd
Street, spoke supporting safety concepts of medians, but questioned why Ross Plaza has left turn access and not South
333rd Street. The discussion was tabled to a later Land Use Transportation Committee meeting to give staff, council and
businesses time to gather more information.
H. Northlake Annexation - The most recent meeting of the Northlake Community Club was attended by City staff.
Northlake, bordered by the Weyerhaeuser property, South 320th Street and Highway #18, has shown positive response
to annexation to the City of Federal Way. Staff reported that as this effort moves forward and lessons are learned
regarding the process, there may be some delays. Currently, the legal description of the Northlake area has been sent
out to be written by a surveyor. The Committee discussed possible capital improvements to be made to annexation
areas. The PAA study did not look at pavement condition. Looked at were streets, gutters, and sidewalks. It may
remain the choice of the Council not to bring newly annexed areas to the same standard as the rest of the City. Those
neighborhoods affected may not expect such upgrades, either. This issue was tabled to the next meeting of the Land
Use Transportation Committee on November 3, 2003.
FUTURE MEETINGS
The next scheduled meeting will be November 3, 2003.

Resolution Approwng and Confirming the Assessment Roll for Steel Lake Management
District Number
BACKGROUND:
In April 2003, residents representing 25 parcels adjacent to Steel Lake submitted a petition to the City Council
requesting the city create a lake management district for Steel Lake. The residents' petition included a scope of
activities, budget and rate structure for the proposed district. On May 6, 2003, the City Council passed Resolution
Number 03-384 declaring its intent to form Lake Management District Number One for Steel Lake. On June 17,
2003, the city council conducted a public hearing for the purpose of accepting testimony in support of and in
opposition to the creation of Lake Management District Number One. On July 1, 2003, the City Council passed
Resolution Number 03-386 submitting the question of creating Lake Management District Number One to the
property owners within the proposed district. There were 5,963 votes in favor of creating the lake management
district and 170 votes against. In response to a simple majority of voters approving creation of a lake management
district, an ordinance creating Lake Management District Number One for Steel Lake was approved by the City
Council on October 21, 2003.
The City Council also scheduled a public hearing on the assessment roll for the district at its November 18, 2003
meeting. The public hearing is an opportunity for affected property owners to present objections to the proposed
assessment roll. This is an opportunity to confirm that the assessment rates previously approved by the City
Council are accurately applied to each parcel in the district. Objections must be made in whting and submitted to
the City Council before the public hearing.
RCW 36.61.120 and 130 calls for the City Council to adopt a resolution confirming the assessment roll for the
district. The attached resolution completes this action and includes the assessment roll as an attachment to the
resolution. After the November 18, 2003 public hearing, the City Council can decide whether to accept the
assessment roll as presented, modify and approve it as a result of hearing objections, or reject the assessment roll
entirely. If the City Council increases any special assessment or includes additional properties into the district, a
new public hearing must be held.

Kathy McClung, Director
Response to LUTC Request For Additional Information on North Lake Annexation
November 3, 2003
I. Background
During the previous October 20, 2003 LUTC meeting, Kathy McClung, Community Development
Services Director, provided general information on the unincorporated North Lake Community located in
the City's Potential Annexation Area (PAA). This information was related to the size, population, existing
land use, and anticipated costs and revenues to provide City public services to North Lake. Additional
information was also provided regarding the election method of annexation.
The LUTC requested staff prepare additional information regarding the North Lake Community. The
LUTC requested information related to likely capital facility improvements that would be required in the
North Lake Community, more specific information regarding likely operating revenues and costs to serve
North Lake, and a timeline for placing the North Lake Community on a February 2004 election ballot. The
following text and accompanying exhibits will address the LUTC request for additional information.
II. Election Method Process and Timeline
The Election Method, Initiated by Resolution provides a process by which annexation is initiated by
Council resolution and is effected by an election of residents living in the area being considered for
annexation. The timeline specified in this memo is reflective of staff's current understanding of the
Election Method process.
The State statute contemplates what appears to be the ideal process for election annexations, that the City
will prepare a proposed zoning regulation for the new area so that the regulation will be considered
simultaneously with the resolution initiating the election process (RCW 35A. 14.015). In.order to do this,
however, the City would have to comply with the requirements in RCW 35A. 14.340 requiring the City to
hold two public hearings, at least thirty days apart, on the proposed zoning regulation.
Staff has prepared two process alternatives for placing the North Lake annexation on an election ballot.
The first process contemplates an alternative method for placing the annexation on the nearest possible
election date. The second process contemplates initiating the North Lake annexation after the adoption of
the ongoing PAA Study, which is more consistent with the above State "ideal process." The following will
outline the two alternative processes.
The LUTC directed staffto prepare a timeline for placing the North Lake Community on a February 2004
election ballot. However, based on procedural requirements related to the King County Boundary Review
Board's (BRB), Chapter 36.93 RCW, and the minimum number of days an annexation election can be held
after Council selection of the election date (min. 60 days), an annexation election cannot be placed on a
February 2004 ballot. It appears that the closest possible election date for the North Lake annexation would
be April 27, 2004. However, as explained below, in order to make this .timeline, the City would need to
initiate an alternative process that may make this an undesirable action. Please refer to Exhibit I for the
tentative procedural timeline. Staffwould also need to do additional research in order to verify the
submittal deadline for proposed ballot initiatives.
First Process Alternative
As noted in Exhibit I, in order to meet the deadlines for the April 27ta election date, initially, the City
would need to adopt the existing King County Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Map designations
already in place for North Lake. The King County designations would be in place for up to one-year from
the effective date of the annexation. This one-year time frame will then allow the City to then implement
pre-annexation comprehensive planning and zoning designations, possibly through the adoption of the
ongoing PAA Study.
The City would need to adopt the existing King County designations in order to comply with the initiating
resolution requirements, defer the need for the minimum of two public hearings on Pre-annexation
Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Map designations, and reduce the completion period of the required
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requirements. However, the above process has potential problems
that may complicate an annexation.
The alternative arrangement described in Exhibit I does appear to have complications, according to the
Municipal Research Service Corporation's (MRSC)August 2000Annexation Handbook. The Handbook
warns that the adoption of existing King County designations is not specifically authorized by Washington
State law. However, it is important to note that several municipalities, including Federal Way, have
adopted local code provisions to permit the adoption of existing County designations. The first alternative
may also be impractical because City staffwould be administering King County policies and code
requirements, and the City Council may be required to adopt the King County Comprehensive Plan,
Zoning designations, and/or Code.
Second Alternative Process
In order to provide a second alternative to avoid the above complications, staffhas created the following
tentative timeline that would initiate the annexation election after completion of the ongoing PAA Study.
This action will amend the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan to anticipate the annexation areas and
establish pre-annexation zoning. Please refer to Exhibit II for the alternative procedural timeline. However,
be advised that the timeline for this process is dependent upon adoption of the PAA Study.
The PAA Study is tentatively scheduled for adoption in April 2004. Initiating an election method
annexation after the adoption of the PAA Study could place the annexation election on the September 16,
Page 2
2004 primary ballot. As indicated in the attached flow chart, staffwould need to do additional research on
the submittal deadline of proposed ballot initiatives. By initiating the North Lake annexation after the
adoption of the PAA Study, the City will have established the pre-annexation zoning and comprehensive
planning designations and completed the required SEPA review for the annexation process. In addition,
this alternative process will also avoid the above noted complications associated with adoption of existing
King County Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designations, policies, and/or codes.
Staff recommends that the LUTC proceed with Alternative II that would initiate the North Lake annexation
after the adoption of the PAA Study.
III. Capital Facility Improvements
The North'Lake capital facility improvement information requested by the LUTC was not available at the
time of this memo's preparation. Public Works Department staffwill provide the requested in'formation to
the LUTC during the November 3, 2003 meeting.
IV. Operating Costs and Revenues
The North Lake operating cost and revenue information requested by the LUTC was not available at the
time of this memo's preparation. Finance Division staff will provide the requested information to the
LUTC during the November 3, 2003 meeting.
V. Suggested LUTC Recommendation
"I move to direct staffto place the North Lake Community annexation on the November 18, 2003 Council
agenda, directing staff to prepare a resolution initiating the North Lake annexation by Election Method
after adoption of the PAA Study."

Potential Annexation Area (PAA) Issues Discussion-North Lake
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 20, 2003
GENERAL BACKGROUND
At the September 29, 2003 LUTC meeting an update of the Potential Annexation issues was provided. A
motion was passed to forward the Redondo area and the Regency Woods area were forwarded to the full
council for consideration. The North lake area was tabled until there was an opportunity to meet with
some of the North Lake residents. I have repeated the portion of the September 29~ staff report regarding
North Lake and added new information that staff has discovered since that meeting.
1NORTH LAKE AREA
Boundaries - The North Lake area is bounded on the north by 320a', on the east by Peasley Canyon
Road, on the south by Highway 18, and on the west by the City boundaries.
The North Lake Area is approximately 384 acres of which nearly half is developed into residential
properties. Another 126 acres is undeveloped, about 100 acres is in utilities and streets, and there is a very
small percentage in commercial, office, and open space. Commercial land includes a nursery and gas
station. The average assessed value of homes in this area is about $190,000. The 2003 population is
estimated at 600.
The PAA Study has the following analysis on the North Lake area:
"In relative terms, the small North Lake area is likely to come the closet to breaking even. North
Lake has taxable property per resident that is more than 50 percent higher than that of the three
PAA's combined (Table D4, values that translate into roughly a 20 percent boost in the area's
per capita revenues). We also estimate that North Lake will generate lower-than-average demand
for public safety services. However, North Lake appears to generate only very low levels of sales
tax revenues.
On balance, our rough assessment is that even annexation of the North Lake neighborhood would
generate net costs in excess of $50 per resident." (Annexation Feasibility Study pp D 4,5.)
On October 6, Councilmember Faison and myself attended the Northlake Community Meeting. There
were about 15 people attending. Of those, about 10 were strongly in favor of annexation and the
remaining were undecided.
Options - Thc Geographic Information System analysis of the North Lake area shows that the area
qualifies for thc island annexation method by less than one percent.
If the Council wishes to actively pursue annexation in this area, the election method by resolution would
be the best option, absent property owners that want to facilitate a petition or ballot measure. The
estimated cost to put an issue on the ballot is about $2.00 per registered voter. This cost includes legal
notices. Since the last LUTC meeting, staff have discovered that a legal description, prepared by a
licensed surveyor must be included in any resolution. For all three annexation areas being considered, it
will be about $4,000. None of these expenses have been budgeted in this year's budget. The next
available election for this issue is in February.
Once the legal descriptions for the annexation areas have been prepared, King County has to verify that
they are correct prior to the resolution being passed by the Council. King County estimates a week turn
around time but there is no guarantee. I have prepared a suggested motion that will bring the issue to the
Council at the next available meeting once the resolution can be completed.
SuggestedLUTC Recommendation -"I move to direct the staffto prepare a resolution for Council
adoption to put the North Lake area annexation on the next available election."
