VI. OLD BUSINESS
A. Mountain View Properties request for the renewal of an
existing Special Property Use Permit for removal of
800,000 cubic yards of gravel on 80 acres between
South 320th Street and 15th St. N.W. (if extended) on
the east side of 60th Avenue South.
B. Mountain View Properties request for a Conditional Use
Permit on property zoned R-2 (Single Family) to allow
attached residential housing on 80 acres between South
320th Street and 15th St. N.W. (if extended) on the
east side of 60th Avenue South.
The Mayor noted that the Couficil was to continue delibera-
tions on the issue.
Whittall asked if anything was done about alternative
roads on the hill. There was no comprehensive study done
on alternative roads, Dugan replied. Since 1980, this has
been the best alternative and would be effective and prac-
tical. Most routes would have problems.
Kurle spoke in regards to Lloyd's previous testimony on
the phasing plan being an impossible task. He asked what
the intentions were and when they would be carried out.
Dugan said in order to anticipate how the property is going
to be developed the City would need knowledge of what is
occurring so potential problems can be anticipated as they
occur, and the issue of Lloyd desiring to plat the
property prior to completion of the gravel removal opera-
tion. The problem we have in reviewing for a plat is not
knowing how it works into the gravel removal. If we are
working with four operators out of the same pit it would be
different than the one operator we are working with now,
Dugan said. If Lloyd is planning to plat it he would have
to fill requirements in a section before he could move to
another. Smythe's prior testimony was Lloyd would be
willing to develop the road prior to any plating. That is
the major new item, and that removes a lot of our concern
regarding phasing. It goes along with needing to know how
it affects the gravel operation, said Dugan. The develop-
ment element of the property needs to be known. If it is
clearly on the record that the road will be improved prior
to any plating that removes item #4 as a condition (#4
requires applicant to complete one stage before he moves on
to another), then #3 still is workable in that it gives us

VI. OLD BUSINESS (continued)
an idea on how the property is going to be developed. So
as Lloyd tries to develop portions we will have some way of
measuring, Dugan concluded. Discussion was made on the
concern to be able to determine if the site was going to be
restored and how it will be in the overall scheme. Kurle
would like the phasing plan condition modified. In regards
to the cost of the traffic light - Kurle felt that it was
, not fair for it to be entirely Lloyd's responsibility.
Currie noted the intersection did meet signal warrants.
Dugan said eight signal warrants had to be met, and it just
barely met them - a combination of systems allowed it to.
It creates more impact than any other development. The
original requirements w2re placed five years ago, and this
is a carrying on of that requirement.
Walters asked if there would be a need for the stop light
if the Lloyd property was not developed. Yes, Currie
responded.
Burns referred to the Hearing Examiner's recommendations on
the phasing process. Truck vehicles would have to cross
this road, he said. Currie said the mining of gravel is to
result in a configuration relative to the development that
will be taking place. There is a provision for a four-lane
road in which two lanes would be paved. In addition, the
first of asphalt would be placed, Currie responded. Dugan
added part of the reason is the development of the road is
directly related to whether the property is going to be
plated in the interim. You would be crossing someones pro-
perty to access the pit and also to insure the pavement is
being addressed since we do not know when the property is
' going to be developed. The paving should be viewed as part
of the restoration, Dugan said.
Burns spoke concerning the phasing process being initiated
from the bottom rather than from the top. Currie said another
element is the storm drainage plan which the City had
requested, and which is the primary i.tem that is needed.
That carries us through all phases of operation, he said.
A discussion was made to delete Condition #9 of the Hearing
Examiner's recommendation requiring the applicant to
complete one stage at a•time.
Kurle asked Lloyd if the deletion of condition q4 was in
agreement with him. Lloyd agreed to paving the road after
the development, and said he would be in with a plat so he
could start building in the spring. Two lanes would be fine
for east and west, but is totally incompatible.
Wisner asked if the recommendati'ons on the storm drainage
had been submitted to the City. No, the dates set forth
are academic - December 31 until the appropriate date.
There is no ordinance, Dugan replied. Wisner asked if the
proponent was aware of the damage. She asked if there had
been any repairs done to the damaged area. Currie and Dugan
concurred they were not aware of any.
' Whittall asked who wanted condominiums. Dugan replied that
Lloyd did from his proposal of five years ago. Lloyd was
asked if he still did. Lloyd responded that he woald give
up the condominiums if he did not have to pave. Dugan said
the City wanted a four-lane road which was in the original
records of 1980 because an urban environment is being deve-
loped and there is a need for access before it develops

fully. Whittall voiced his concerns on the proposed road
leading nowhere. He felt the total length of the opera-
tion has been too long and asked why. Dugan responded that
it was related to the market. Lloyd said the reason was
because after the permit was obtained there were several
pieces of land that totalled up, and it was also due to the
impact on the market. Whittall asked Dugan how he felt the
City has done in monitoring the final grade. Dugan
replied, the grade looked very good, and the portion where
it is ready to restore does also. There are interim grade
slopes, and those in final grade are in proper slope. we
do not have a good handle on th'� phasing - a phasing plan
is needed, he said. Whittall a5ked how the new
Comprehensive Use Plan viewed that area? Dugan replied,
there we have no authority to evaluate against that plan,
and we have not done a full analysis that we would normally
do against that plan, but there are provisions in there
that would recognize this situation and allow this permit
to be issued. The most significant difference in the new
Comprehensive Use Plan is there would probably be a tighter
ceiling on the number of townhouse dwellings.
Whittall asked Lloyd if he was depending on the approval of
the permit to determine if he would plat. Lloyd said he
had a phase already designed for the very top, the part
that has been completed on the mining, for single family
housing, and he wanted to start on it immediately.
Whittall voiced his opinion that a two-lane road was ade-
quate. He felt there needed to be a tighter control on the
erosion, and that the neighborhood is more a single family
housing area. Whittall felt the phasing should be left to
the expertise of the engineers.
Kurle spoke regarding the 44 ft. wide street and cluster
housing trade-off. Lloyd had said he would be glad to shut
off gravel and build single family housing. Lloyd felt the
impact of the property would be the same. The cuts would
make slopes that would cut into the property, Lloyd said.
Kurle felt there should be single housing, but not all.
Larson said the concensus from the meetings with the neigh-
borhood was to maintain the neighborhood the way it is, and
to do something about the traffic. He felt there would be
problems if there was no street. Streets may not seem to
go any place now, but we need to look forward to the
future, he said. He felt tfle City should insist on a 44
ft. road even if it ends in a deadend.
Walters felt it would be negligent of the City if a 44 ft.
road was not provided. The school children problem could
be taken care of, he said. He realized there were resi-
dents disapproving of the road, but because his concerns
on the future growth of the area and to avoid present
traffic problems in the future, the road should be nothing
less than a 44 ft. road. Walters was in favor of preser-
vation of the neighborhood, but there needs to be some way
to get to the neighborhood, he said.
Wisner spoke of the need for a road - regardless of the
size. There is a need to serve the entire community not
just that specific neighborhood. It will lead nowhere
now, but residents need to have adequate Police and Fire
protection. She also voiced her concerns on the erosion
and the need for it to be addressed. In regards to the
traffic light - she felt Lloyd should not be entirely
responsible for the cost.
