Mayor Ertel invited public comment at this time on
matters other than the comprehensive plan, the
continued hearing on that matter to follow.
Ed Stickel, 1228 S.H. 296th, Federal Way, feels the
Soroptomist "Flag City"project shouldn't be allowed
and that a permit shouldn't be issued. He feels it
is inappropriate along ~he roadway and should be
put into a flag plaza outside the pool.
Margaret Nelson, 32904 4th Avenue S.W., Federal Way,
lives in Campus Woods area. She congratulated the
Council on their good job. She and the Campus
Woods Homeowners Association are very interested
in keeping open spaces, as the land is being built
up too fast and the land should be retained now.
Arnold Isaacson, 29616 2nd Pl. S., Federal Way,
read a letter which called attention to limited
supply of remaining undeveloped land and increasing
population demands which could deplete those lands.
More parks/playground open space in higher
density neighborhoods, convenience store proximity
and limited mixed zoning(4-p1ex/townhouse in an
otherwise sin~le family home block) felt to break
monotony and serve meager to rich incomes.
Bill Shortt, 4011 S.H. 321st, Federal Way, responded
to article in morning paper relating to staffing.
He is interested in contracting concept and would
like to bring up that this city has the opportunity
to spend the money it takes in on public works,
population and getting the job done more flexibly,

more quickly and better, so if the City can
change course and run the City with core of
executives, and avoid the concept of full-service
complement where most of the income would go to
the wa~es and benefits for city employees, as
opposed to bein~ spent for the public.
Gina Del Beccaro, Vice~President of Tacoma Synchro-
nized Swim Club Boosters, stated they will be hosting
the Senior National Championships and Team Trials
in the Goodwill Pool. This will be a type of
christening of the pool, to be held prior to the
Goodwill Games Events. She presented letter to the
Council, volunteers are bein~ recruited. Tickets
for Wed.-Sat. available at Ticketmaster, April 5-
23, 1990.
This being the date set and proper notices having
been posted and published according to law, the
continued public hearing on the Draft Comprehensive
Plan was declared open. Mayor Ertel invited comment
at this time. The hearing is continued from 12/19.
Chairman Handmacher reported the Comprehensive
Plan and Map have been revised by the Land Use
Committee in consultation with the consultants,
based upon comments submitted at the 12/19/89
public hearing. Copies are available at City Hall.
One additional change, S. 359th and Hwy. 99 low
density area should extend north of 359th.
Correction will be made to reflect that. Otherwise
the map is accurate and will be a part of the
Comprehensive Plan. There is no action to be taken
to adopt the Comprehensive Plan at this meeting.
Steve Wieneke, Federal Way.Water and Sewer District,
noted the issues and policies are long term
objectives. He has reviewed the Comprehensive Plan
and the District supports the plan the city is
proposing and looks forward to working with the
City in developing policies into concepts.
Ilene Marc~x, noted recent Times editorial
regarding King County efforts to get money from
the Legislature for a corridor along 1-90, a lot
of real estate. The county is good at getting
money and receives more from open space than this
area. Federal Way should go after money for our
canyons (Redondo, Peasley, Lakota, Windemere, and
Dash Point Park area, plus one in the Military Rd.
area). If the people owning these areas need the
money they will sell the land so there is no time
like the present to protect these areas. We need

Court Pixton, 2809 106th Avenue S.W., Federal Way,
noted the Comprehensive Plan addresses a lot of
needs, but citizens should have an opportunity to
study the Zoning Codes being proposed for the
Plan prior to adopting; He questioned how existing
non-conforming uses will be handled. See* Pg. 4.
David Morrison, M. and T. Joint Ventures, 4224
Waller Rd., Tacoma, called attention to urban
residential zoning which encourages higher single
family but is not as high as multi-family. He
noted tendency to congregate these zones as
separate zones and ghettoize single-family. They
should mix them into large zones. King County has
problems with it's PUD Ordinance, people not given
knowledge of where there could be attached forms
of housing in single-family. Clustering or
different density of housing within single-family
would not violate social and environmental needs.
Council was urged to move away from large zones and
mix into single-family zones.
David Halinen, Lexford Properties, Bellevue Place,
Suite 376,300 Bellevue Way N.E., Bellevue, WA 98004,
representing a group who owns a recently
constructed Multi-family development at S. 348th
and East of 1st Avenue S. That site was designated
Office Park. They, along with their client, feel
it should be high density residential. It is
compatible as it exists with R1800, one of two
implementing zones for HDR; they feel this was an
oversight! The plat was built two years ago and'
they request that correction be made.
Ro~ger Overson, 2750 S.W. 312th Pl., Federal Way,
voted against incorporation for two elections but
three years ago King County Building and Land Dept.
forced him to become an ardent supporter of
Cityhood, and has been active in furthering
incorporation. He read every statement made by
Council and researched all documents regarding Land
Use. The voice against apartments was loud and
clear and there was no indication against
commercial business. He purchased some commerciAl
property 10 or 12 years ago, has paid taxes all
this time and has been counting on the use of that
property. He feels it would be. very unfair for the
Council to blind side those pe~ple who have

His property is located at 344th and 16th Avenue S.
Ed Stickel, 1228 S.W. 296th St. Federal WaY3 WA
98023, inquired regarding inclusion of a Civic
Center in the Comprehensive Plan with City
Administrative offices. Mayor Ertel advised there
is reference within the plan, though very general.
As to Nob-conforming,Use ihquiry~ BALD has a Grand-
father Clause with special zonings. Homes that
violate the current type of zoning can retain the
existing zoning, but cannot change. Land Use
Committee Chairman Handmacher noted the City has
not studied non-conforming use as yet.
Bud Thorson, Chief, King County Fire District No.
39jfeels Council has an extremely good start on
the Comprehensive Plan but would like to see some
things added on behalf of the Fire Department. In
event the community should annex back into the
district three years down the road, the City will
want to take over the District and the Department
is in favor of that. The high level goals of
public service should include fire protection. The
fire department should be a team player in the role
of the City. Things of concern include width and
incline of roads-if too steep the back bumper on
tail bed of the fire appaLatus rides on the ground.
Would like to request the City consider allowing
the fire department to work with the city taking
benefit of their expertise.

suggested the Comprehensive Plan be placed on the
Agenda on February 13, 1990 for consideration of
adoption.

Land Use Committee Chairman Handmacher reported
Committee recommendation that Council approve
and adopt the required Environmental Checklist
and Negative Declaration-Threshhold Determination
of Non-Significant Environmental Impact. 5EPA
Ordinances are in a transitional period but
action is required at this time to adopt the
necessary 5EPA documents. The various codes, ie.,
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code and maps, zoning
classifications, Shoreline Codes, SEPA Ordinances,
etc., all subject to the negative declaration.

AND AD0PT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST AND

CARRIED.
Mayor Ertel requested Councilmember Randmacher
to explain the Declaration process. Councilmember
Handmacher advised ~EPA requires consideration
of the environmental imnact of any land use action
taken before the legislative body. The purpose
of the Environmental Checklist is to check
proposed action for environmental impacts. If the
threshhold determination has adverse impact, an
Environmental Impact Statement would be required.
A Determination of Non~Significant impact would
not be adverse even though there is some
significance of imuact.
The Comprehensive Plan as proposed and the Zoning
Code will likely result in less density in terms
of development but would not result in greater
density; will have impact but will ~ot be adverse
to the environment.
Attorney Wallace added it is the adverse impact
on the environment; it may be adverse to the
people but not on the environment.
As there were no further public comments, the
hearing was deelared ¿losed arid å five ~~nure

This being the date set and proper notice~
having been posted and published as required by
law, the hearing was declared open. Budget and
Finance Committee Chairman Gates announced
presentation of the preliminary 1990 budget
covering ten months 2/28-12/31/90, copies of
which have been made available to the public.
The hearing was now open for public testimony of
priorities for consideration in any supplemental
budget down the line, the Committee to meet
1/25/90 at 7:30 a.m. to consider tonights requests.
Mar gar e t r<! a r d, 7 2 6 5. 2 91 s t 5 t ., s p 0 k e wit h a
plea for adequate Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Arts; a staff person be appointed for those
services and funds be included for additional
playgrounds before available sites are lost. She
inquired regarding whether King County would
continue to maintain the Parks and Recreation
facilities for next year, and if Parks and
Recreation Director Services are included.
City Manager Locke advised that Kin~ County has
funding to continue maintenance and operation
through 1990 and no cost to the City.
Counci1member Webster, noting preliminary
scenario, anticipated hiring Director of Parks
and Recreation on or about June 1 and about a
month thereafter the preliminary budget
anticipates hiring of a Park Operations Chief and
Recreatiøn Services Chief and then work on the
Comprehensive Plan for a Parks and Cultural Affairs
Center. Implementation of City takeo~a~' targeted
for 1/1/91; additional staff programmed to come
on at the end of year which would provide
opportunity to work with County Staff so the
public will see no effect other than increasing
efficiency of services.
Question was raised whether any new parks
acquired would need to be the.' subject of a bond
issue; otherwise going to be a major park
purchase project; will funds be set aside to
purchase ad hoc as sites become available!
Councilmember Webster stated Yes and No,
depending upon the size; Hqvlð. ,;a~tf;~ipàre:i::-
ini~iâ¡ly would require'a bond issue, whether by
vote of the people or Councilmanic bonds. As we
mature would hope we could find a source of
funds to set aside to develop 15';]'(:' of revenues.

Nancy McEleny, 30016 21st Ave. S.V.,Federal Way,
98023, inquired regarding line item of Human
Services budgetary allocation, $100,000.00 for
Clean Air, enforced by Puget Sound Air Pollution
Control Agency, this not considered Human Services
in Kent. Transition Team recommendations: Become
a member of Human Services Round Table, $7,500-
$10,000; Senior Center- although a major percentage
of the population) the Senior Center works on a
bare bones budget. Yvonne Sullivan is the Director.
It was suggested the City look at Senior Center
programming in other cities. Sharon Atkins of
South King County Multi-Service Center has a
transition team and would look at it. The
Ecumenical Coalition is working with the Multi-
Service Center for housing facilities assistance
and furnishings, and with mental health, a letter
to address Human Services/Personnel. Regarding
arterials, question was raised whether trees might
be replaced that are down; regarding Goodwill
Games, it was hoped there would be funding from
the City to provide facilities.
Counci1member t1arks reported- that the $7,600.00
budget item will go towards a full time ~oordinator
for the Center.
Councilmember Templeton stated that the King County
Air Pollution Control item is mandated by State
Law and mayor may not stay within Human Services.
It may be placed into another line item in 1991.
Meeting with King County Round Table was reported
however, staff is required from Cities so the
matter will be addressed the second half of 1990,
at which time the City will be able to designate
a staff member. Regarding the Senior Center,
Chairman Templeton talked with Yvonne, February 7,
a joint meeting of Human Services and Parks,
Recreation and Cultural Affairs Committee to be held
to discuss envisionary aspect. Should they come
into the City, the City will take over and they will
be part of the Consortium as they are now, to be
discussed February 7.
