COUNCIL BUSINESS
1.
Continuation of Campus Ridge Preliminary Plat
Stephen Clifton, Senior Planner, briefly reviewed the
proposal which had been the subject of a public hearing on
May 17, 1990.
COpy
City Council Minutes
May 29, 1990 - Page 2
Mr. Clifton explained how the lot sizes were calculated
using the King County regulation. He said this proposal
exceeds the King County lot size formula. He said that,
additionally, King County requires a minimum lot width of
60 feet for RS 7200 zoning and all proposed lots exceed
this requirement except lots fronting the cul-de-sac which
have a minimum 20-foot frontage width.
He told the counci1members how the open space was
formulated; the applicant may either reserve or dedicate
land, or make a payment of a fee-in-lieu thereof according
to Chapter 19.38. Mr. Clifton told the council that if
they deny the plat application based on the criteria, they
cannot require open space to correct an existing problem.
He reminded the councilmembers that, to date, it has not
been proven that the impact of this proposal creates a need
for open space in this area.
With regard to questions on buffering, Mr. Clifton told
the council that King County does not have a tree
preservation ordinance. He reminded the councilmembers
that the site area - between the residential lots and the
wetland - will have a Native Growth Protection Easement and
there is no cutting, grading or filling allowed within this
NGPE area. Since the Federal Way Code provides for tree
preservation, Mr. Clifton suggested that maybe the
developer could be approached about voluntarily adding more
trees.
Mr. Clifton said that since the counci1members had
expressed a concern over the traffic analysis, the traffic
study was reviewed which had been done last year. He said
the finding that the traffic impact was within the criteria
for the proposal would still hold true under either King
County or Federal Way regulations.
The council was told that Federal Way consultants, Wilsey &
Ham, again reviewed the Wetlands Study submitted by Shapiro
ana Associates and conclude that the report is accurate and
consistent with the King County findings.
Judy Wall, representing Federal Way School District No.
210, reviewed information that is attached hereto as
Exhibit "A" and made a part of the minutes. Ms. Wall
said the south end has the majority of student growth but
the school district will serve all students.
City Council Minutes
May 29, 1990 - Page 3
Counci1member Handmacher clarified that with the
addition of the Campus Ridge plat, the students would go to
Silver Lake which is at maximum capacity. Ms. Wall
agreed with this statement and said that the school
capacity is 550 students and the projection is 604
students. Councilmember Handmacher stated that to
alleviate the over-attendance the School District will need
to add a portable unit, move students or double-shift; all
of these are less than desirable alternatives. Ms. Wall
said that the school would have to do this anyway.
Councilmember Webster asked if the School District ever
recommended against a piat proposal because of student
capacity. Ms. Wall said that it is not their policy to
recommend against.
Councilmember Stead was told that he was correct in
saying that schools are at capacity now--that they were
before, and will be in the future. Discussion continued on
the use of funds from a proposed bond measure election.
Councilmember Marks said that the bond has $10 million for
buses which would not be available if the measure fails.
Ms. Wall said that there will be separate levies for
busing; the technical portion of the bond will be omitted.
The School District wants to do only buildings and buses
only at this time. Mayor Ertel said that she had been told
that there is a 550 student cap for all schools and that
most are over that now.
The council was told that the applicant only has a rough
calculation of the in-lieu-of fee which is approximately
$ll,722.48, or about $490 per lot.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Jim Pearson, employed at Boeing and a part-time realtor,
reminded the councilmembers that the micro issue is
environment and market value neither of which has been
addressed. He urged this matter be deferred or postponed
until a thorough evaluation.
Don Van Note, 2l5 S.W. 327th, told the councilmembers
that there needed to be some human element in the
calculations. He commented on lot size, traffic impact and
the tree issue.
Larry Brown, 7th Avenue Southwest, said that the City of
Federal Way is a desirable place for young families and the
schools are important. He said the bond measure will be
difficult to pass.
City Council Minutes
May 29, 1990 - Page 4
Barbara Gardner, 309 S.W. 32lst, commented that the
drainage and erosion issues were not being addressed. She
also expressed concern over traffic impacts, lot sizes,
open space maintenance, park space, and schools. She urged
that the council reduce the number of planned lots and get
all agreements in writing.
Ilene Marckx, 31915 4th Avenue, told the council that
they have already lost a lot of wetland area; Federal Way
incorporated to get away from King County. She said if we
take care of our aquifers we won't need pipeline 5.
Eileen stauss, 32636 7th Avenue, S.W., circulated some
handouts to the councilmembers and told them she
interpreted state law to say the city council must consider
certain impacts and that the city council has the right to
deny the application. She said if the council approved the
plat, then she would urge the council sidewalks on both
sides. She concluded by saying that she would challenge
the School District's calculations.
Mark Best, 710 S.W. 323rd, said the developer can't be
required to correct pre-existing conditions nor should they
be allowed to add to them; he suggested that approval of
the application be contingent on school financing.
Katie McCaslin, 32413 6th Avenue, S.W., urged the council
not to let the developer cut down the trees.
Ted Reamer, 5610 7th Avenue, S.W., commented on the
creative math and lot size which could create drainage
problems.
Bob Curtis, 32628 7th Avenue, S.W., asked for open space
clarification - if open space is dedicated, is it public or
private? He asked if the funds from a fee-in-lieu of would
go to General Fund?
Chuck McCaslin, 324l3 6th Avenue, S.W., concurred with
earlier remarks made by Ms. Stauss. He expressed concern
with the school overcrowding, sidewalks, open space
calculations and landscaping. He said if the plat was
approved it would be an injustice and urged that the
developer be required to deposit a bond with the city.
Mike Boyd said he recently moved to Federal Way because
of the school system; he is now concerned with the growth,
busing and lack of park space. He urged the councilmembers
consider these concerns.

APPLICANT COMMENTS
Gerry Lutz, attorney for applicant, told the council that
King County and Federal Way staff concur that the
application is in compliance. He said the school issue was
addressed in the SEPA process. He reminded the council of
their authority under the RCW and said that King County
provides the open space fules. Mr. Lutz said no evidence
has been presented that makes this plat application special.
With no further testimony the public hearing was closed.
Councilmember Handmacher said he had many concerns to
share and needed to respond. He said he felt the lot sizes
were too small but they meet the King County rules and the
city council has no discretion on that. With regard to
open space, Federal Way has requirements but King County
rules apply. As to landscaping, Federal Way retains
significant trees and King County does not. He said he
shares the frustration but Federal Way regulations will
help on future issues. Councilmember Handmacher said there
was something the council can do and that relates to
schools. He said the council should take steps to deal
with this issue since the school district won't deny plats
or developments. He said this can be painful but it is
time to take a stand. He said the city council should take
a position to limit new residential growth until the school
district can handle that growth.
Councilmember Handmacher moved that the city council deny
the application for the plat because of the impact on the
School District which would create a hardship on the
students being forced to other schools; Second by
Counci1member Templeton.
Mr. Wallace cautioned the council that this matter should
be discussed in executive session due to potential
litigation.
The council recessed into executive session at the hour of
8:45 p.m., for a 10-minute meeting. Mr. McFall extended
the time for executive session at the hour of 8:59 p.m. for
another 10 minutes, and again at the hour of 9:l0 p.m. for
another fifteen minutes. The meeting reconvened at the
hour of 9:18 p.m.

Counci1member Handmacher said he would like to talk about
the facilities report that was circulated by Ms. stauss and
asked that the hearing be re-opened for the purposes of
questions to the School District and for adding the
facilities report to the record.

The council re-opened the public hearing as requested
earlier by Councilmember Handmacher.
Councilmember Handmacher asked questions of Ms. Wall
relating to student growth, busing, bond issue funding and
family impacts. Ms. Wall said it was her personal opinion
that double shifting would be detrimental to students, but
the School District has not taken an official position.
Councilmember Webster reminded the council that approval of
any plat would add to the overcrowding.
Deputy Mayor Gates asked questions on whether the
projections were based upon students entering school in
1991. Mayor Ertel asked questions about the number of
students from single family homes.
Mr. Lutz, representing applicant, told the council that
no specific evidence has been brought forth about the
impact on schools to not provide education and it is not
significant under the RCW. He said the SEPA review has
been completed and he urged the councilmembers to approve
the application.
Council Meeting Minutes
May 29, 1990 - Page 7
Councilmember Handmacher circulated the facilities report
at this time. This report is marked Exhibit "B" and made a
part of the record and is located in the office of the city
clerk. Ms. Stauss briefly reviewed this report and
explained the statistics contained therein. The council
was informed that the applicant had not seen this report.
Mayor Ertel announced the public hearing was closed.
Councilmember Handmacher moved to add to his earlier motion
the finding, based on testimony from Judy Wall, specific
projects would be provided on the assumption the bonds
would pass; there is clear evidence the schools in the
south and north ends are at, or over, capacity; if the bond
fails and the buses are inadequate, and, faced with
creating more over-crowding, the city council determines
that approval of this plat is not in the best interest of
the general public's health, safety and welfare; this plat
is detrimental and staff is instructed to prepare findings
and conclusions; Second by Counci1member Templeton.
Councilmember Stead said he shared Councilmember
Handmacher's concern and shared the view to use this
property as a park leaving the trees and wetlands but he
doesn't think denial based on the school issue is the way;
it is difficult finding that Ms. Wall's testimony leads to
that conclusion as the motion suggests; it is a policy
decision that needs to be made on all plats; and, passage
of this motion would allow no more plats in Federal Way;
this is second-guessing the School District.
Mr. Wallace explained to Councilmember Handmacher that the
testimony was not substantive enough to warrant the council
changing the lot sizes, but the council has the authority
to require sidewalks and open space.
Counci1member Templeton said he didn't feel Ms. Wall
conveyed the information he was hoping for; he shares the
concerns after hearing Ms. Wall's testimony.
City Council Minutes
May 29, 1990 - Page 8
Councilmember Webster said he has somewhat the same
concern and would be more comfortable with more information
from the Superintendent or the Assistant Superintendent on
space allocation.
Deputy Mayor Gates asked if the council could get the
information asked for by Counci1member Webster? She
expressed concern over delaying the technical educational
areas because the bond money would only be used for sites
and buses, and concurred she would like additional
information before rendering a decision.

Social Security Substitute
Mr. McFall informed the counci1members that the personnel
committee had reviewed this issue and felt it was a good
program to pursue; the survivor benefits are better than
Social Security - the proposal is in excess of Social
Security benefits. He said he needed council authorization
to proceed; with authorization he would prepare the
necessary documents and bring them back to the council.
Motion to approve the city manager's recommendation by
Councilmember Stead; Second by Councilmember Templeton.

Mr. McFall explained that he recommends some language
changes to allow the city some options; if this goes
forward it will allow proceeding with a condemnation
ordinance on 356th.
Councilmember Handmacher asked questions relating to
overhead costs. Mr. McFall said this issue was already
brought to the attention of the County but he would
continue to pursue. He continued by saying that he would
work on rewording the section relating to the cost of

defense. Mr. McFall told Mayor Ertel that he would keep
track by monitoring the project reports. Councilmember
Handmacher reminded the council that some of the projects
listed on the attachment are done. The council concurred
with Mr. McFall to reword the indemnity and overhead
sections and bring back for final approval at the June 5,
1990 meeting.
7.
Establishment of Solid Waste Advisory Committee
Councilmember Marks said the public works committee had
reviewed this item and said it looks good. The committee
would complete their work and be disbanded by October 31,
1990. Mr. McFall told the council he needed authority
from the council to establish the commitee and then solicit
members. Counci1member Marks asked if this could be done
by June 7, 1990 and was told by Councilmember Handmacher
that might not be enough time. The council concurred to
solicit members until June 15, 1990.
Councilmember Marks moved to approve establishment of a
solid waste advisory committee for Federal Way; Second by

the committee will complete their task by October, 1990 and

TO:
The Board of Education
Dr. Richard Harris, Superintendent of Schools
FROM:
Erma Hanson, member
Site Review Committee
RE:
Elementary and Jr. High Site Recommendations
The Site Review Committee recommends to the Board of Education that the east
side SITE 37 be the next elementary location, and that the west side SITE 14
be developed CONCURRENTLY with it. We would recommend that SITE 22, located
in th~ core of the district, be designated as a third elementary location.
Our Committee's recommendation for the next junior high location is SITE 70.
RATIONALE FOR SITE 37: Of the eastside sites, SITE 29 is too far north for
consideration; and although two or three members of the committee felt that
SITE 85 (North Lake) had definite potential, the majority of the committee
agreed that our decision was between SITES 35 and 31.
Development is anticipated north of SITE 35, but the potential growth from
Regency Woods, southwest of SITE 31, is expected to come on-line sooner,
with a projected enrollment of 300 students, or 1/2 of an elementary school,
at build-out.
Building at SITE 31 would
*
provide room for this projected student enrollment from Regency Woods;
relieve Lakeland's enrollment, which in turn could relieve Lake Dolloff;
*
*
accommodate more walking students than would SITE 35; and
utilize sewers and utilities in place on the north side of the site.
*
SITE 35 would require an on-site sewage disposal system or holding tank with
pumping facilities.
RATIONALE FOR SITE 14: The committee agreed there will be a need to develop
SITE 22. But they also realize that in the west side of the district, Twin
Lakes and Brigadoon need relief. In an effort to demonstrate that atten-
tion is being given to the entire district, the committee anticipates
SITES 14 & 37 relieving enrollment pressure at Twin Lakes, Brigadoon, Lake
Dolloff, Lakeland and Panther Lake.
RATIONALE FOR SITE 22: This site is recommended as the third elementary on
the basis that Sherwood Forest will be filled to capacity, and a new
development immediately north of SITE 22 will be followed by a development,
Bella Carina Woods, immediately to the south which will be undertaken in the
next 2 to 3 years. With SITES 37 & 14 relieving the growth pressure from
the perimeter of the district's central core, Silver Lake, Panther Lake,
Sherwood Forest and SITE 22 can better handle the phenomenal growth we're
experiencing in that area.
REPORT: SITE REVIEW COMMITTEE
May 29, 1990
Page two
SPECIAL EDUCATION UNIT: Dr. Gibbons informed the committee that the
district needs to establish a second special education unit at one of the
next two sites selected for development. That need reinforced the commit-
tee's favoring SITES 37 and 14. Either of those two sites could better
afford to set aside the housing space such a unit requires (reducing student
capacity at that school by 200 students) than could SITE 22, located in the
densely populated central core.
RATIONALE FOR SITE 70: The committee really didn't consider any other
Junior High site than SITE 70. Cognizant of the large enrollment at both
Illahee and Lakota Junior High Schools, we realized that SITE 70 was the
most logical location for the next junior high school. All utilities,
including sewer, are immediately available at this site. Information
provided to the committee by Assistant Superintendent for Secondary Schools,
Tom Murphy, indicated that the potential growth for the district's junior
high population, supported SITE 70 also.

* Current Attendance Numbers include students who attend a given school Øt IiJ outside the

the projected numbers are based on 19 elementaries.
** Boundaries are based on Geographic Numbers and therefore may appear to "conflict" with
Attendance Numbers.
Schools at Capacity: All schools are considered at capacity with the exceptions of Olympic View, Lake
Grove, Mark Twain and Sunnycrest. The district makes every effort to maintain the neighborhood
schools concept. As schools reach building capacity, the most appropriate way(s) to address needs are
discussed. Alternatives could include addition of portables, transferring a grade level to another school
(e.g., Lakeland kindergarten), or double shifting to more long range possibilities such as magnet or year
round schools. The District must and will serve all children within the District boundaries.
