City Council met on April 14, 1960 to hold a.n open hearing regarding the development of N. E. 11th Street in Medina. The Planning Commission had asked that the devlopment be placed on the Comprehensive Plan. '~'" The Council members present were Mr. Arpke, Mr. Behnke, Mr. I~rost, Dr. Leversee, Mr. Thomas and Dr. Templeton. After calling the meeting to order, Dr. Templeton explained the plan to the people present, the possible advantages and disadvantages, regarding the property development, the building restrictions relating to setbacks because of a dedicated street, and also that the property owners would bear the cost of the road including the road itself and the assessments for sewers and water. He then asked fo:(' comments from the floor. Mr. Harris, Chairman of the Planning Commission explained that the matter should only· be considered as a planning feature. He ex- plained the various ways in which it could be financed, by LID with petition to the Counc:i.l and gave the percentage of property owners necessary to submit such a petition. He also asked Dr. Templeton to add a proviso to the resolution from the Planning Commission to the Council to the effedt that a Civil Engineer inspect the property ~md see if the street is feasible. A discussion was held. Mr. McCray submitted some cost figures on the water, sewer and street installation that amounted to ~~184o.00 per 100' frontage, wi th the water at ~~4.00 per foot, street $3.50-$4.50 per foot and sidewalks at approximately ~~1.00 per foot. He said that the sewer assessment for both sides of the street would run about $30,000.00. Mr. Harris said that because the trunkage fee for t he sewers had already been paid on the property only thr frontage fee would be assessed. Mrs. Thomas Campbell, 827 -76th N. E. asked if the street WE,re placed on the Comprehensive Plan if future setbacks on the property would have to be observed as if the street were an accomplished fact. The anS'Ner was in the affirmative. Mr. Diller, 7635 -N. E. 12th objected to the plan saying it would ruin one of his lots and wo uld not reach the other so he had nothing to gain. Mrs. Diller pointed out that a house on their lot had been left out of the plan. Mr. Baum then explained that in conversation with Mr. Carter of Puget Sound Power & Light Company he had discovered that portions of 80th Avenue N. E. had been vacated and therefore the City had no jurisdiction and the on~y access to 11th was therefore eliminated. This was discussed. Mr. Baum said that the vacation had been verified by Mr. Chadwi ck. Mr. Milton Johnson, 4235 N. E. 10th, speaking for his neighbor Mrs. Edith Chittenden who was unable to attend the meeting, said that she WJ uld be unwilling to give up any of her property for the proposed f>oad. Mr. Harris said that the Planning Commission believes that the plan would be advantageous to the people. Mr. Arpke said that if the property owners had no desire for this development that the matter should be dropped. Mr. Paul Detels, 7642 N. E. 10th, said that while he would be unwilling to assume any further assessments at the present time he felt that a planned street would lead to a more orderly development. A man living in Enumclaw but owning property adjacent to the proposed street asked if easement lanes could be built by the owners of the properties if they wished to divide their land. The answer was yes if they complied with the city ordinances, This matter 172 Was discussed. Mr. Ken Marks, owning property on N. E. 12th adjacent to the vacated 80th N. E. asked if an undeveloped dedicated street would not devalue the adjacent property. Dr. Templeton said that he thought it would and further pointed out that small lots were very apt to eventually develop into slums. Mr. Johnson said that he obejected to any division of his property for any reason whatsoever. Mr. Harris pointed out that the Planning Conrrnission was not trying to force the issue. After further discussion, Dr. Templeton asked that all those in favor of the proposition raise their hands. Mr. Paul Betels was the only property owner in favor of the proposition. Dr. Templeton said that in view of the fact that the majority of the people were obviously against the plan, the matter could be considered closed and asked that the hearing be adjourned. There being no further business, the hearing was adjourned at 8:30 P.M. Mayor The regular meeting of the Medina City Council was held May 9, 1960 at 8 P.M. at the City Hall. 17S Council members present were Dr. Templeton, Mr. Arpke, Mr. Behnke, Mr. Frost, Dr. Leversee and Mr. Johnson. The minutes of the IX' evious meeting were read and approved as read. Mr. Booth submitted his police report which was read and discussed. Mr. Henry Lohse living at 32nd and 76th N. E. asked if there would be anything the Council could do for him. He said that he had chronic septic tank trouble and that no iliollection lines in the new sewer instal- lation ran adjacent to his property. Mr. Chadwick suggested that the formation of a small LeI.D. might be possible and all costs would be then divided among the abutting property owners. The Council discussed Mr. Lohse's problem at length but pointed out that it was not a matter that could be solved by the Council. The possibility of having a change in the mandatory sewer connection ordinance by which connections would be mandatory if the sewer was wi thin a certain number of feet from the property rather than "Adjacent toll was discussed. Mr. 3aum is to con- sider the ramifications should such a change be made. Dr. Templeton read a letter from Mrs. Clare Berlin, secretar~r of the Medina Parent Faculty Club pointing out the concern of the Club over the dog problem at the Medina School and offering full cooperation of the Club in helping to solve this problem. Mrs. Madeline Murray, Secf/etary of the Park Board asked if the City could obtain the plans for the Evergreen Point Bridge. She also wished it announced that June 11th would be clean-up day at the North Park. Mr. Baum explained that the OVerlake Golf Club would be licensed to use 80th N. E. for a fee of $1.00 per year and that the Club would furnish the street provile at their expense. No action was necessary. The enroachment of the road on Mr. Fry's property at the corner of 80th Ave. N. E. & N. E. 10th was again discussed. Mr. Arpke suggested that the Sewer District be asked again to rectify this matter. Dr. Leversee moved that Mr. Chadwick request the Sewer District to satisfy this man's demands subject to Mr. Baurn's approval. The motion was seconded by Mr. Jolmson and passed unanimously. Mr. Bru m explained the procedure for side sewer installation and explained that pe ople should be encouraged to have their ins talla-cions done as soon as possible so that the final street restoration could be accomplished.

The Bellevue City Council thinks that Mr. IUller has the time to handle this job on an interim basis. Payment would be worked out according to his base pay of ~~11,000 .00 per year, plus. If he should not work full time for the City of Bellevue, the City of Medina would pay for his services at his regular rate and in this case the City of Bellevue would not pay his full salary. Also, there would be an escape clause for both parties which would allow the Medina City Council to terminate Mr. Miller's employment if it should get someone else or if they should decide to for any other reason, and it would allow Mr. Miller to terminate the arrangement if for any reason he deemed it necessary.
