Three committees were formed:  Growth Management, Communications, and Law & Justice. 

 

Tom C. was asked to chair the Growth Management Committee and he accepted.  He. gave an overview of what he envisioned the Growth Management Committee would address.  He would like the representative from each of the Districts (2, 3, 4) within the Urban Growth Area and at least one “border” district (1, 7, 8) and one person with expertise or knowledge of the Comprehensive Plan to sit on the Committee.  Eileen, Bob, Marshall, Rick all agreed to serve on the Committee.

 

Bette F. agreed to chair the Communication Committee.  Dellanie F. and John V. volunteered to serve on this Committee.

 

Dave D. volunteered to serve as chair of the Law & Justice Committee which will focus on law and code enforcement.

 

 

Main Topic – Rural Economic Strategies Report, Paul Carkeek

_

Paul gave a review of the development of regulations regarding home industries in unincorporated King County.  He believes that many of the regulations regarding home businesses were never intended to be applied to rural areas.  The regulations recognize the right of citizens to live and work on their property and that part of the rural existence is characterized by independence.  He further believes that we are seeing a “suburbanization” of the rural area.  On behalf of rural citizens, he has repeatedly asked for a moratorium on code enforcement until some of these issues can be resolved.

 

Paul worked with the Maple Valley UAC on their letter responding to the KC Rural Economic Strategies report and recommends that the FCUAC adopt the same letter.

 

Rick S. polled the FCUAC members individually to determine their support for the sentiments in the Maple Valley UAC member.  The Council members unanimously supported the substance of the letter. 

 

 

 

 

 Motion to have Tom C. draft a cover letter to accompany the Maple Valley UAC letter as our response to the Rural Economic Strategies Report was made by Edie J. and 2nd by Dave D.
