In addition, during the April 18`h meeting, the Town Planning Commission recommended that the Town approve the presented permit with the following mitigation measures presented in the Staff Report: 1.

Any pollutants entering Lake Washington shall be reported immediately to the Department of Ecology and the Town. In addition, the Town will require a parking plan for the construction activities as part of the building permit submittal. Most importantly, the Town encourages constant communication with neighbors to minimize conflicts and complaints during construction. Resident Bob Trimble explained that he is concerned with the execution of the project considering the amount of dirt which needs to be moved.

Together with Clyde Hill, the Town has explored the possibility of installing a sidewalk walking path on either the north (Yarrow) or the south (Clyde Hill) side of the roadway. WSDOT also presented a solution: to demarcate a 4' wide path along the north side of the roadway, beginning to the east of the splitter island, and proceeding east for 50 or so feet. The Council concluded that if there is a demarcated path, the north Yarrow side would be best. Councilmember Steve Bush agreed to work with Planner Green to document traffic concerns near Points Drive. Ms. Green will report on any progress at the next Council meeting. AB 16-19 Building Code Update,first Reading Mr. Steve Wilcox explained that the State requires the Town to adopt the 2015 State Building Code by July I".

AB 16-20 Town Lights UPS or LED,.for Discussion Jeremy Michel, Project Manager of PSE IntoLight addressed the Council. Mr. Michel explained that a re -light Washington program to switch to LED lights is being sponsored by the Transportation Improvement Board. Governor Inslee has asked PSE to prioritize the program, especially small Towns so they are not being left behind. Yarrow's primary concern, and a common one, is that the LED lights are very harsh. Our current HPS lights are 2,500-2,700 kelvin in temperature, offering a warmer yellow color. PSE IntoLight recommends the Town switch to a 3,000 kelvin LED bulb, the "warmest" color available for commercial use. The Town currently has two test -lights installed. The Council agreed that energy efficiency, light diffusion, and color were all critical objectives. They agreed to continue discussing the issue pending additional information submitted from PSE IntoLight. 112 Council Regular Meeting May 10, 2016 Mayor Cahill read a Proclamation honoring Kirk Callison for his contribution to the Planning Commission.
