Mayor Lile reported he has sent letters to all, the parents of the young people
involved and has heard from two of the parents. He stated the matter is under
control at this time, as far as he can determine.
Recommendation from the Planning Commission
The Planning Commission, at their meeting of January 2, 1979, agreed to recommend
to the Council the follow:
Add a sentence to Section 9.2 Off -Street parking - Ordinance #225 - to read -
"On -Street Parking is not permitted except in accordance with the regulations
of the Town of Yarrow Point traffic Ordinance" and suggested a limit of six
hours to be included in the Traffic Ordinance.
Chief Anglin suggested using the wording ",No Parking on Street Rights of Way"
-instead of referring to "No- On -Street Parking _ because On -Street means
on pavement and the intent here is to have no parking on the shoulders or on
the travelled portion.
Discussion took place. The Council approved and the Chief agreed with this
change.
Since this is a chane in the Zoning Ordinance - by the addition of a sentence -
"Parking on Street Rights of Way is not permitted except in accordance with
the regulations of the Town of Yarrow Point Traffic Ordinance" there is a need
for a public hearing.
At the time Chief
is understood that
in said ordinance.
Mayor Life referred to

He related again his discussion with the Director of the Highway Department on
possible ways to find a solution. Mr. Zirkle has informed him that the cost to
place apeak'-hour barrier at the Town limits is estimated to cost $12,000,;_
to provi e a turnaroun - an additional $5,00Q, plus $2,000 for signing. It was
suggested that our Town Engineer might have some further information in regard
to those figures. He was asked to see if he might come up with some lower costs
.for this barrier arrangement.
It was discussed that the , ;t.,, - ng off of the tolls (in June of 1979) should
,irelieve this problem for the most part.

The Notice of Bond Sale was also read and discussed.
A letter from James Ellis, our Band Attorney, to Lorraine Diede, dated 1/4/79

Page 4 of Ordinance #232, top paragraph refers to 'The pledge under Ordinance 9232
may be discharged at or prior to the maturity or redemption of bonds of this
issue upon the making of provision for the payment thereof on the terms and
conditions set forth in Ordinance #232". Ronald Dickinson explained that we have
a pledge to levy taxes every year to be put into the Bond Redemption Fund to
guarantee repayment of bonds and interest but we may elect to not levy an excess
levy - if we have another source of £ands to pay them off, such as out of the
General Fund.
After considerable discussion, a motion was made by Carson Wheeler that Ordinance
No. 232 as stated above be adopted. The motion was seconded by Jeanne 1�hiting.
A question was asked - Has the King County. Election Department certified to the
Town of Yarrow Point that the bond issue passed? The answer was "Yes".
After no further discussion, the motion was passed unanimously.

risk is very minimal and suggested that the Town should go ahead with the approval
at this time. The ?Mayor stated that the Council would accept that recommendation.
Discussion.
After discussion, Jeannie Whiting made a motion to authorize the Town Engineer to
begin the design work on this project. Carson ZNheeler seconded, and the mot'

The Mayor reviewed some of the background regarding this meeting.
An Evergreen Point resident has been working towards the possibilities of
conquering the problem of the "Eurasion Milfoil".
The Department of Ecology has been contacted.
Three chemicals are available but must be applied by a licensed applicator.
There is a question of costs and whether an EIS is necessary.
At the Evergreen Point resident's request, the Mayor has written a letter to
the DOE requesting them to immediately approve the application as against
waiting for the process of the EIS.
The Mayor then thanked Dr. Freeman for attending the meeting at Three Points and
asked for his report.
There were 200 to 250 people in attendance
A number of speakers including Mayor Barton, Respresentatives of the DOE,
METRO, A-1. Spray Co, and the University, plus representatives of the producers
of the chemical product to be considered.
There are 60 acres planned to be used in Fairweather Bay, and Cozy Cove.
Yarrow Bay is not .included at this time.
The concerns of this weed growing in the lake is that it is a nuisance - a
possible threat to human life.
Whoever hopes to apply a herbicide must get permission from the DOE. This is
the largest area that has ever been considered. Metro has been studying
the problem since 1974 but have no recommendations at this time. DOE has
reviewed the application and they do want an EIS.
The target date is June 1, 1979. This would allow time to apply the material
this year, if deemed feasible.

TOWN OF YARROW POINT
This sign was posted by the City of Medina Street Department Superintendent in
December 1978 and two wodden posts with a barrier across with reflectorized
buttons were placed at the street pavement end of N.E. 42nd Street. The City
of Bellevue assisted with this placement charging no labor. There is a
sanitary sewer installation, under the ground, under the jurisdiction of the
City of Bellevue, in the vicinity of this road end. No vehicles are permitted
to drive over this installation, according to the City of Bellevue. For this
reason, and for the reasons presented to the Town by Mrs. Ted Shanahan whose
residence is on the north side of the -road end - and the narrowness of the'area
this installation was approved by the Council.

to assuring that their boundaries are established. She felt that those
boundaries should be physically. -designated on the ground.
(Note from Lorraine Diede - The road end of N.F. 42nd Street was surveyed
by ,zones, Bassi and Associates in 1971, copy of said survey is within
the Town files. Said roadend is 20' wide .for a length of 167.66'. It
shows that bulkheads from properties on both sides are constructed into
the 20' at the water's edge.
The road end of N.F. 47th Street was surveyed
by John B. Dodds in 1972, copy of said survey is within the Town files.
Said road end is -at the termination of the 60' right of way of N.E. 47th
Street where it widens 20' one si p a to a1 of 100' width for a
distance of 85' plus
�zi-ha�ic#g ide facing the water and
80, plus or minus/oif -h ode. 4n this survey there is no indication
made as to ,-"` -,-.construction or plantings: -from the abutting owner's property
into the roadend area.)
Back to N. E. 36th Street discussion, Dr. Freeman suggested asking the office

many other similar roadends.
