selection process for the 2002 comprehensive plan amendments; she presented slides of the
subject properties and surrounding areas for each of the six site specific requests submitted
this year for consideration.
Mayor Burbidge then called upon the citizens who had signed up to speak during the
comment portion of the public hearing, reminding them to limit their remarks to three
minutes.
L. James Mangio - spoke in opposition to Site Specific Request #2-his concern relates to
the wetland involvement of the property; he would like to see the city purchase the property
for future park development.
Linda Writer - also spoke in opposition to Site Specific Request #2-she wants the
property to remain single-family zoning because of added traffic congestion if changed to
multi-family zoning.

its earlier days, adding he once offered the property to King County (prior to the city's
incorporation) for the purchase price of$56,000, but the offer was rejected. He requested
further analysis by city staff.
Leonard Schaadt - representing the agent of Site Specific Request #5-explained the
requested change in zoning would allow for the best use of the property and spoke in
support of further analysis by the city.
Bruce Elkington & Allison Elkington - both spoke in opposition to Site Specific Request
#2-they prefer the property remain single family zoning because of the impact on the
wetland and wildlife found in the surrounding areas.

comments into the record-he opposes further analysis and feels the applicant should
investigate tenant improvements to comply with current city code zoning requirements.
John Lape - applicant of Site Specific Request #6-spoke in favor of the proposed change
to provide for a temporary connection until 19'h Ave SW and SW 344th St are improved

of 19th Ave SW.
Gerald Shumaker - opposes Site Specific Request #6, as well as future 21" roadway
development.

impacts on traffic, wetlands and wildlife in the area.
Todd Deceulz - opposes Site Specific Request #2-he wants the existing wetland and
wildlife preserved.
