II. A. Public Hearings (Cont.)
s
1. John H. C. Minkema Rezone (Cont.)
Jim Hudson, 12224 N.E. 8th, Belleuve, representing
Wembley Enterprises, stated he was neither for or
against the request, but wondered if the Planning
Commission recommendation was based on the land use
plan or other criteria.
' No one else spoke for or against the request. MOTION
by Wisner, SECOND by Burns, to close the public
hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Dugan responded to Hudson's question indicating the
recommendation was based on the land use plan. He
added that the owner disagreed with Condition No. 2 and
suggested the word "negotiate" be added.
Kurle stated the Planning Committee was looking at the
mix of mobile homes. He wondered why the Planning
Commission recommended approval of this request.
Dugan reported there had never been a recommendation
for a moritorium on mobile homes. He said this mobile
home park is sandwiched between two mobile home parks
while the Wembly was a new development contrary to the
current Comprehensive Land Use Plan. He said any
mobile home park would be considered on a case by case
basis. Dugan added the Wembley Rezone raised policy
issues on how this area would be developed.
MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Larson, to approve the
rezone from R-2 to R-TP based upon the applicable
Findings of Fact and subject to the conditions as
outlined in the agenda packet and to instruct the City
Attorney to prepare the ncessary ordinance including
the addition of the word "negoiate" to the beginning of
Condition No. 2. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
2. Harold Wynn Special Property Use Permit extention for
gravel removal on property 19.6 acres in size and
located on the south side of Auburn Way South in the
2100 block.
George Lindsay, 31218 Pacific Highway South, Federal
Way, representing Mr. Wynn, stated the two year exten-
tion involved essentially no change in grading plan.
He requested the Council consider changing the hours to
8 to 4 o'clock. No one else spoke for or against the
request. MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Burns, to close
the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmembers Colburn, Craig, Kurle and Wisner
expressed concern in the traffic problems the change in
hours could cause. Kurle inquired about the traffic
counts. Nevins indicated the survey had just been
completed the Friday before and he could not comment on
it as yet. Lindsay stated they were now limited to a
six hour day and had to pay their drivers for eight
hours. He said part of the reason for the need for an
extention was because of the short hours.
Dugan indicated he had discussed the matter with the
Public Works staff and they felt they were comfortable
with the existing hours. He added Mr. Lindsay has some
interesting arguments and suggested possibly referring
it to Committee.

MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Burns, to approve the
Special Property Use Permit based upon the applicable
Findings of Fact and subject to the conditions as
outlined and to instruct the City Attorney to prepare

Larson wondered if the request could be looked at
again after they had more data on the traffic counts.
Dugan indicated it should be part of the ordinance so
they would not have to go through the whole process
again. He suggested adding the wording to the
beginning of Condition No. 10 "Unless otherwise
authorized by Council"
Wisner and Burns agreed to the suggested addition and
made it a part of the motion. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
