School Pathways - Medina Circle Mr. Ed Didrickson, a resident of Medina Circle, accompanied by several other residents of Medina Circle were present to seek a solution of allowing pathways for school children to exit from the development to avoid heavy traffic on 84th Ave. N.E. After considerable discussion, Mayor Watton stated that walkways in the P.L.U.D. were considered by the Planning Commission and developer during the review of the project, but were deleted from any plans. It was the consensus of Council that the walkways would be the owner's obligation, for the possible placement through private property within the develop- ment, the Yabuki property on the north, and the Puget Power and Wells - Medina Nursery on the south side. An L.I.D. was another suggestion made to solve the problem. Bid Award - 78th P1. N.E.

Members present were; Councilmen Harris, Vall-Spinosa, Lucas, Gerrard, Dietrich, Davis, and Mayor Watton. Mr. Dietrich made a motion to approve the minutes as corrected, seconded by Mr. Vall-Spinosa; carried unanimously. Public Hearing - 78th Place Improvements Jim Dowe, City Engineer, presented the revised plans which he believed would please the majority of the residents by reducing the road width to 10 feet on each side and a 2 foot wide raised portion of the roadway on the down slope side, for a total of 22 feet. This plan would also com- pletely fill the drainage ditch on the west side, including inlets at various locations to direct the water to the catch basins and on to Lake Lane. The following persons commented on the revised plans, and were most con- cerned with such a wide roadway: William Blakely Art Johansen Mary and Larry Kaner and son Richard Virgina Miller Newell and Merle Bossart John and Harriet Williams The Public Hearing was then closed. Mr. Harris made a recommendation to reduce the road width to nine feet on each side, and a 12 foot raised portion on the down slope side, since this seemed to be what the majority of owners desired. This action would also reduce the cost of the project and was thought to be feasible by the City Engineer. He would be able to incorporate the drainage plans in a re- duced width roadway. Ms. Gerrard made a motion to proceed with the modification of the plans to 9 feet on each side with a 12 foot raised portion on the down slope side for a total of 19,1, feet, and to add the drainage as proposed by the City Engineer, seconded by Mr. Dietrich, carried unanimously. Mr. Dowe stated that it should be possible to award the bid at the Sept- ember meeting. One resident, Mr. Art Johansen, objected to the decision made by Council in reducing the width from the proposed 22 feet. Conservation Easements - Mr. Art Skolnik made a presentation and showed slides of the property he was proposing as a donation of 300 feet of jointly owned waterfront property to the City by his clients, William Ruckelshaus, Langdon Simon, Steve Miller, and Ed Furia, in the 1000 block of Evergreen Point Road. They would then benefit under the In- ternal Revenue Code Section 170 (f) (B) (iii) which authorizes a char- itable contribution deduction for a "lease on, option to purchase or easement with respect to real property granted in perpetuity" if granted to an appropriate organization or governmental entity for con- servation purposes. The following persons spoke in favor of the proposal: William Ruckelshaus and Ed Furia. And those in opposition to the proposal: Philip Bronson and Mrs. Michael Johnson. After more discussion among the Council members, Mayor Watton informed the proponents that it seemed an unfavorable proposition, since the City derived "limited public good" The land (1) would not be ac- cessible to the public and (2) would only benefit scenic enjoyment Page 2 for boaters on Lake Washington. Council thanked Mr. Skolnik and Mr. Stephen Crane for their presentation. Park Board Presentation - Frank Pattison, member of the Park Board, was present to seek the approval of the Council to spend approximately 1,400.00 to install a sprinkler system in City Hall Park. Since there was a balance in the budgeted tennis court repairs, he wished to use the balance of approximately $5,000.00 on other park improvement priorities. The Council gave their approval for the expending of the balance on the sprinkler system and any other projects deemed necessary by the Park Board. Ordinance No. 364 - Home Occupations - The Council and several inter- ested persons in the audience discussed the drafting of this ordinance. Some felt it still was too restrictive, but could not seem to address the problem of parking without hindering a small business from other standpoints. The following persons commented on the newly drafted ordinance: William Blakely Michael and Sharon Johnson Henry Paulman Jean Blakely After more discussion, the Council directed the City Attorney to re- draft the ordinance and insert the suggestions made by Council and the above, for the September meeting. City Manager's Monthly Report - The City Manager commented on the in- crease by King County on court filing fees from $12 to $22. He felt that the fee could not be questioned at this time, although he had received calls from the Points and Clyde Hill on the possibility of establishing a joint court and police services. Monthly Activity Report - was given by Lt. Mollner, in the absence of Chief Anglin. Legal Notice Posting - Mr. Paul Ross of 1686 77th Ave. N.E. and Mr. F.E. Betz of 1632 77th Ave. N.E. were present to object to the pro- cedure of legal posting. They were not contacted for a meeting of the Planning Commission when a neighbor constructed a pool. They had been notified on the posted meeting, but due to lack of quorum, the meeting was cancelled. After a request to the City Manager, the Planning Com- mission called a special meeting to hear the cases. Mr. Ross and Mr. Betz stated they were not notified for this meeting. The City Staff explained that the notice was posted in the legal posting places, but apparently these persons did not receive or observe the notice. Mr. Harris apologized for the inconvenience but felt that the posting procedures were adequate. Ms. Lucas made a motion to approve C.E. Warrants Nos. 14484 through 14566, Street Warrants Nos. 4521 through 4550, and Bond Redemption 80-12 through 80-14. Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was adjourned at 11:20 P.M.

Public Hearing - 78th Place Improvements - Jim Dowe, City Engineer, was present to explain the project and answer questions from a large number of residents who reside on or near 78th Place. Most concerns were (1) the road width, since a 24 foot slab would take in some nicely landscaped right of way, (2) and also the problem of drainage so that the surface water would be directed where it would cause the least damage to properties. The following persons voiced their concern on these subjects: Mr. and Mrs. Newell Bossart Frank McDonald Mrs. Virginia Miller John Williams Dr. and Mrs. Howard Ricketts William Blakely Art Johanson Amelia Sommerville Warren and Ann Taylor Dick Collins Mary Addington Mayor Watton stated that areas in all of the City have drainage problems, but that the city engineer would revise the plans to please the majority of the residents by reducing the road width. More emplhasis would be placed on finding a solution to the catch basins and the 2 foot berm run- ning along both sides of the roadway. The Public Hearing was closed at 9:00 P.M.

Resolution No. 151 The City Attorney informed Council that L.I.D. No.5 would be changed to L.I.D. No. 6 due to the change in boundaries, adding street lighting, and reflecting new assessments would initiate a new L.I.D. since the changes would be substantial. There were approximately 20 interested persons in the audience and Mr. Wines was again asked to explain the LI.D. process. The main concern since it was a new L.I.D. was that after the property owners are notified of the new assessments, written protests would again have to be filed with the City Clerk.

Proposed Dedication of Conservation Easements - Art Solvik, architect and Steven Crane, attorney and representatives of anonymous property owners, discussed the new concept of dedicating private property to the City for the purpose of tax reduction for the owners and open space for the City and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service. Since the plan is on a trial basis and after some discussion, Council members stated they would be willing to hear more on the matter if the representatives would return with more informa- tion, location of property, and property owners names, in order to take any further action. Fairweather Tennis Court Repairs were discussed and Frank Pattison of the Park Board gave several options to minimize cost of repairs and be within the budgeted amount. Jim Dowe, City Engineer, recommended (1) that the City retain Mr. Sills, (who worked on the original courts) as inspector, either on the City payroll or as special consultant , to be paid for the time he in- spects and supervises the work, (2) correct the drainage problem with City forces, (3) rehabilitate the west court, (4) upon completion of 2. the west court, reanalyze the budget, then proceed with east court. After more discussion, Council directed the City Staff to proceed with west court repairs. Repair of the Viewpoint Park dock, which had collapsed, was recommended to be repaired as soon as tennis court repairs had been made. Dr. and Mrs. W. Krengel, property owners adjacent to the dock, were present and eager for the City to make necessary repairs soon, to eliminate any in- juries or fatalities due to the condition of the dock. Signs would also be posted. Garbage Franchise was discussed briefly. Since the franchise with East - side Disposal is not exclusive, it was felt that residents could choose a different disposal service if they so desired. Monthly Activity Report - Chief Anglin was present on behalf of his report. Mayor Watton reviewed correspondence from Bellevue Christian School, who requested an opportunity to lease the school, occupied by Three Points Elementary in the event that it would be closed in 1981. After a brief discussion, Mayor Watton stated he would write a letter, informing Bellevue Christian that the Council was in favor of the property being used as a school facility, but no preference to any par- ticular school. Information received by the City Manager regarding changes in proposed Federal Shared Revenues allocations which would cut Medina's share to 5,529 instead of $11,059 was discussed and he was instructed to write a letter to our congressman or senator to voice the City's concerns. Mrs. Gerrard volunteered to act as representative to act on the newly formed Planning/Advisory Committee for a Subarea Plan as an additional component of the Bellevue Comprehensive Plan. The Committee would de- fine issues, develop alternative solutions and finally recommend a plan. Mr. Vall-Spinosa volunteered in her absence. Home Occupations The City Attorney was directed to research a solution to governing home businesses. The present ordinance does not give any measures of con- trol to type or volume of sales, working personnel, and parking fac- ilities for example. Probability of a special hearing board might be required. The City Attorney was also directed to secure a proper method of re- movidg. ex-officio council members from the Planning Commission in order to deal with the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine. Council unanimously approved of Mayor Watton's re -appointment of Barbara Milam to serve another six year term on the Civil Service Commission.

PUBLIC HEARING L.I.D. #5 - Underground Wiring on Overlake Dr. - Hearing con- tinued from the April 14, 1980 meeting. Jim Dowe, City Engineer, reviewed the L.I.D. map and pointed out where lines are already underground on Upland Road. He stated that the cost of new street lights was not included and that they would add another $5,000.00 to the L.I.D. He also stated that the Overlake Drive street improvement project would not be done this summer due to Federal Budget cut -backs. Consequently, the patching costs that were to be done by the Overlake Street Project, would have to be added to the L.I.D., increasing the cost approximately 16.2%. He stated that all of the residents on Upland Road have protested and there were three alternatives to the problem. 1) leave the L.I.D. as it is,(2) take out all the Upland Road properties, increasing cost to other residents by approximately 7%, (3) delete the north half of the Upland Road lots, which would have approximately a 4% financial effect. Jim Combs, Puget Power representative, said that approximately 750 feet of patching would be required. Kirk Wines, City Attorney, stated that he didn't believe that mandating underground wiring on private properties was pos- sible. He stated that the overhead service cannot be taken away if the homeowner can show good cause why it should not be removed. Mr. Vall-Spinosa questioned Mr. Combs about the number of road crossings that would be needed. Mr. Combs stated that there would be about twenty crossing, costing approximately $1,000 per crossing. Ed Pefferman, City Manager, asked Mr. Combs how much the L.I.D. would go up in a year due to inflation. Mr. Combs stated that there would be a minimum of a 15% increase. Mayor Watton and Mr. Pefferman stated that the alternatives before the Council were to; postpone the L.I.D. until the Overlake street project was to be done, go ahead with the L.I.D. using the new figures, and the possibility the L.I.D. could die based on new protests. Mayor Watton asked the City Attorney what the changes in boundaries and money would mean for the L.I.D. Mr. Wines stated that because the changes were substantial, the L.I.D. should be initiated again reflecting the new preliminary assessments. Mr. Vall-Spinosa made a motion to redraw the Upland Road portion of the L.I.D. boundary, splitting the properties approximately in half, the rest of the boundary of the L.I.D. remaining the same. Seconded by Ms. Lucas. A discussion then followed in which Mayor Watton asked if the Council could approve Ordinance 363, forming the L.I.D. Mr. Pefferman stated that the Ordinance could not be approved due to the change in the legal description and dollar amounts, therefore, Ordinance 363 Page 2 would have to be withdrawn. Mr. Vall-Spinosa then made a motion to withdraw his previous motion. Ms. Lucas withdrew her second to the motion. Mr. Harris made a motion to withdraw Ordinance No. 363, forming L.I.D. #5. Seconded by Ms. Gerrard; carried unanimously. The following citizens spoke regarding the L.I.D.; Burt Hawk, Isabelle McDonald, and Bill Brinkley. It was stated that before the next Council meeting, the City Engin- eer would send out new assessment rolls, reflecting the new costs and boundaries. At the next meeting, a new resolution will be presented and there will be new Public Hearings where citizens will have the right to protest the L.I.D. Mr. Harris made a motion to adjourn the Public Hearing at 8:56 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Vall-Spinosa; carried unanimously. Respectfullylubmi% tted, tip- - ' _ - -^, t- 4 Peggy J.

TENNIS COURT BIDS City Manager, Ed Pefferman, recommended not awarding the bids for tennis court repairs by Fryer -Knowles Inc., Rainier Paving Inc., and Doolittle Construction due to the bids being considerably more than the budgeted amount for the improvements. Frank Pattison and Moe Bleyer, Park Board members, were present. Mr. Pattison presented another proposal to correct the drainage and fix the court, costing a total of approximately $6,773. The City Manager ex- plained that the $14,200 in the Tennis Court Reserve Fund can only be used for the tennis courts and that it was the intent of the City Council for it to be a cummulative fund to rehabilitate the tennis courts when needed, not necessarily to be done this year. The Council instructed the City Manager to investigate Mr. Pattison's new suggestion. Mr. Vall-Spinosa made a motion to reject the submitted bids. Seconded by Ms. Lucas; carried unanimously. HOME OCCUPATIONS Kirk Wines stated that it would be difficult to come up with a workable definition of "home occupations". Mr. Vall-Spinosa suggested an or- dinance restricting the employment of anyone outside of the immediate family. A few interested citizens were present to voice their concerns arising from problems caused by a home occupation in their neighborhood. The Council sympathized with their problem and will be looking for ways to regulate home occupations. SCHOOL CLOSURES Judie Hansen and two other concerned citizens were present to voice their concerns over the possible closure of Medina and/or Three Points Elem- entary Schools.
