From: Department of Executive Service – Records, Elections Licensing Services Division
Description: Proposed Code Changes – Animal Control and Zoning Regulations
Action: Kelly Faoro has volunteered to investigate and report

§

Gwendolyn H. – Update on email received from a resident concerned with the development density at the Street of Dreams project. Conversation with DDES supervisor Steve Townsend yielded the explanation that the parcels of the subject development were presented as Short Plats. Short Platting is an administrative process that requires no Public Hearing and no notification of application to the UAC, and assurances that density regulations were enforced. Mr. Townsend offered to answer any questions. 206.296.7204

§

There was much discussion between council members and the attending members of the community at large regarding the appropriate role of the UAC in this matter as well as the content and tone of the letter to be submitted to the KC Executive. The very strong consensus was that there is indeed a problem in the May Creek Basin and that the residents deserve action.

§

The letter presented by May Valley Environmental Council for endorsement and submission to KC Executive, and for which a motion of adoption was made at the last meeting of the UAC failed to receive sufficient support. (see vote record below.)

§

An alternate draft letter was presented, discussed at great length, amended and adopted for endorsement and submission to KC Executive. The motion for adoption passed unanimously. (see vote record below.) The letter is posted on the UAC website.

David R. began the discussion with direction to members of all committees to elect a chair. Committees will communicate results of those elections to the secretary for publication on the website.

Stakeholders have communicated interest in submitting issues to the UAC to be communicated to the KC Council regarding their concerns in the Issaquah School District. Work still remains for these issues to be defined and consolidated for presentation. Kelly F. will continue to facilitate preparation and will keep us posted.

§

David R. has been informed by Marissa A. that the UAC must submit candidate date to the KC Executive for the 2003 UAC Forum. After discussion, the following dates were chosen to submit for consideration: September 10, 17, 25 and 30

§

David R. proposed that our State Legislators could be invited to address the UAC. Discussion of the scope of the UAC’s representative mandate and the conditions under which such invitation would be extended ensued. Consensus was achieved that in the event that the UAC was dealing with a specific issue on which State Legislators actions and authority had bearing we should invite them to address the UAC and hear our concerns. Since we have no specific issues of this nature at the moment, no invitation will be extended at this time.
