B. S 352nd Street Extension Project from Enchanted Parkway South to Pacific Highway South
– 100% Design Status Report and ILA with Lakehaven for Design
Streets Systems Project Engineer John Mulkey presented information on this item. There was
no public comment. Mr. Mulkey stated that four of the five property owners have made verbal
commitments to dedicate land; written agreements will follow. Committee Member Dovey was
concerned that one property owner has still yet to agree to dedicate land to the City. Should the
City even go forward with the project unless there is unanimous support from the affected
property owners?
Mr. Mulkey shared the property owner’s concerns with the proposed project. The four
remaining property owners find the proposed project worthwhile and wish to dedicate the
needed portions of their land to the City regardless if the City has to pay for the 5th parcel.
Chair Duclos stated that if four businesses are supportive of the project and are looking forward
toward the benefit the project will have on the entire area, that that may supersede one property
owner who is not as cooperative.
Director Roe contributed the benefits the project would bring to the City and surrounding
community.
Chair Duclos wanted confirmation that the $3Million to be transferred from the SR 99 Phase IV
project would not be needed elsewhere. Deputy Director Salloum stated that the City Manager

previously directed $2.7 of the funds left from the low bidding of SR 99 to be kept to be used at
CM discretion, while $3Million is available to transfer to another capital project.
Mayor Kochmar stated she is in favor of this project moving forward. Committee Member
Dovey said he was unsure of the project without 100% property owner approval. Director Roe
stated that the Committee approving this recommendation does not bind the City’s commitment
to this project.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.

Hearing
E. Amendments to Title 13 FWRC; Adoption of 2009 Construction Codes
Building Official Lee Bailey presented information on this item. Mr. Bailey handed out an
updated draft ordinance to replace the ordinance in the agenda packet. There was one public
comment:
Gordy Olson, Deputy Fire Chief, South King Fire and Rescue – Deputy Fire Chief Olson spoke
in favor of residential fire sprinklers and requested that Council consider requiring fire
sprinklers in new construction of single and two-family dwellings and townhomes.
Committee Member Dovey asked for clarification on what was being adopted and how that
differed from the appendices to the Code. Mr. Baily explained that the appendices are only
considered part of the local code if independently adopted by the individual jurisdiction. The
amendments being considered in the subject code amendments in regard to fire sprinklers are for
businesses and multi-family units.
Committee Member Dovey requested that staff returns some time in the future to discuss
residential fire sprinklers for single and two-family dwellings as well as townhomes.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.
