CITIZEN COMMENT
Michael Reid, President of Granville Southern Corporation requested Council delete the "Tavis
Properties" fTom the 10% annexation petition as it relates to Applewood. The basis for his request
is that the annexation of the properties would divide the ownership of the Tavis landholdings into two
separate municipalities and create an undue hardship as it pertains to pending development plans
being prepared by Granville. Finally, he stated an annexation petition may be applied for at a later
date once the PM boundary issue is resolved to the satisfaction of the Cities of Federal Way and Des
Moines.
Robert Thorpe spoke in connection with and support of Mr. Reid's request regarding the deletion
of the Tavis properties. He also thanked the Council for the work they and City staff have completed
thus far in the project.
Jeannie Van Vleet, Applewood resident, voiced her concerns regarding the actual properties which
are being considered for annexation; access to 15th Ave. resulting in too much traffic into Applewood
and her concerns for development of multi-family buildings in the area. She would like the area to
remain single-family residential.
