_ _ . _
received a letter from Mr. ,Fair.brother, executive director, of King
County Planning Commission, stating the property had a non=conform
`ing ;use being classified as residential. Mr. Armstrong".further
stated that according to city ordinances , a race track in a resi-
dential area is illegal and that the information Mr. Fairbrother
had about this area being used as a race track was not true. Mr.
Armstrong stated he had gone to the King County Assessor►s office
to obtain information about this property.
In 1956, he said, this property was inspected for asse§sment
and because of the dilapidated condition of the corral area, no
value for asses.sment was placed on it. In 1959 the property was
again inspected with reualuation for house improvements only. At
' that time and since, because the race track and corral were in
such delapiflated condition and had not been in use for 'years, no
value was placed on thear.
Mr, Armstrong also stated that the road leading up to this.
• race course was a private one. The county would not and the
Eity had not accepted it. Hundreds oF people attending the races
have been using;_this road raising much dust. Mr. Armstrong
stated his clients want something done aboutthis race "course on
property not zoned for the purpose and request if £ound to be a
violation of an existing ordinance, that the matter be taken care
of.
George Schuler stated he has been investigating this matter an
looking into the King County_ PTanning Commission records. A lette
had .been sent to Mr. Fairbrother requesting information on 'the
• praperty for the past ten years with a' view of determinin g if
a permit for racing purposes had. ever been issued to the property.
To date the status had not been obtained but he was expecting the
information within the following week.
