CITY OF SULTAN COUNCIL MEETING - August 10, 2005

The regular meeting of the Sultan City Council was called to order in the Sultan Community Center by Mayor Tolson. Councilmembers present: Champeaux, Criswell, Boucher, Seehuus, Flower, Blair and Boyd.

COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC

Peter Arkison: Trustee in Bankruptcy for the Hammer property. Steps have been taken to have the property platted under the PUD ordinance and they have received a water/sewer availability letter for 81 units. They are concerned that the adoption of the ordinance will affect their development rights. Would like the council to consider exemption for those developments that have applications pending.

David Toyer, Barclays North: Presented a letter regarding the proposed moratorium on Residential PUDS addressing concerns about the SEPA process, notification and requirements of the Settlement Agreement.

Loretta Storm: Agrees with concern about notification requirements and the need to provide adequate notice. There should be a hearing to address other impacts such as the problem further development will have on the Basin Road. Development will provide funding to expand the sewer plant, but where will the city find funding and capacity for the roads.

Josie Fallgatter: During the annexation meeting it was noted that the issue of the mapping would be resolved when the County adopts the UGA, and questioned if that was proper procedure. There is a process for comp plan changes that requires submittal and docketing. Asked if an application has been submitted to change the zoning map.

COUNCILMEMBERS COMMENTS:

Champeaux: Thanked everyone who signed petitions and sent letters to support to keep the Bank of America open in Sultan and asked about the status of the city accounts. Mayor Tolson advised that the City will continue with the process to move the accounts to Coastal Community and will maintain the Bank of America accounts for six months.

STAFF REPORTS:

Grants: Donna Murphy advised that the T-21 funding bill has passed and the City will receive $560,000 for the Sultan Basin Road and 5^th Street projects.

Public Works: Connie Dunn provided an update on the current projects, the water/sewer comp plans and sewer availability.

The petition meets the 10% requirement and is within the UGA. Discussion was held regarding the level of service requirements, need to expand capacity of existing infrastructure, and the recent increase in assessed values of the proposed annexation area and surrounding properties. It was the consensus of the council that the annexation should not proceed at this time due to the number of issues that need to be addressed.

Ordinance 884-05 PUD Moratorium: Thom Graafstra, City Attorney, advised that the ordinance was drafted at the request of the Mayor and staff to allow time to review and hold public hearings on the PUD codes. The moratorium would go into effect five days after publication and be valid for six months.

Councilmembers asked if there would be any violation of development rights, if commitments have been made for utility connections, if a SEPA process is required and if proper notification has been provided.

Thom Graafstra advised that he does not feel any development rights would be violated and the ordinance requires a public hearing which will require notification in accordance with the agreement.

Rick Cisar, City Planner, advised that based on discussions with the Council and the Planning Commission, an ordinance has been drafted to provide for 5000 square foot minimum lot sizes for PUDS. Discussion was held regarding vested applications, commitments for utility connections, lot size and the need to provide an exemption to those projects that have pending applications.

Councilmember Boyd, moved to adopt Ordinance 884-05, seconded by Councilmember Flower.
