POLICE REPORT
No mem er of the Police Department was present to review the written report of
activities for the month of October previously received by the Mayor and members
of the Council.
MARINE PATROL
Review by King County of marine services for the months of August and September
was sent to all Council members. It was noted that two warning citations had
been issued.
ENGINEER'S REPORT
fan Ne i reported on the Coblantz drain at 9222 N.E. 37th Place. After
discussion of what he has determined to date, he was advised to pursue the problem
further. He will attempt to locate the white plastic pipe which has been.seen
previously. The location of the downspout drains have been established and he
thinks it might be possible to reroute the direction of those drains to alleviate the
problem. firs. Coblantz seems willing to cooperate in finalizing a solution to
this problem.
Lorraine Diede reported that she had received a call that the catch basin on the
north-west side of 92nd and 41st was overflowing again. This is the drain that
rota -rooter worked on this summer. It has also been reported that several other
catch basins were full to the top during the past rainstorm. Discussion on the
possible causes mentioned leaves, sand, and collector problems or the possibility
that the drain pipes are plugged. Allan NewbAll suggested that the Town might
want to hire a company with high pressure hoses to wash out the drains. The
streets need to be swept so that the leaves do not further plug the drains. Mrs.
Diede will arrange for street sweeping as soon as possible, coordinating with Allan
Newbill.
The cost for painting white lines on the edges Of 92nd and Points Drive east and a
couple of stop lines was estimated to be less than $1000 per a bid received from j
Allan Newbill. Lorraine Diede reported her concern that the Town has only $2,000.
in the street fund at this time but anticipates $1200. - 1500. more by the end of
the year. Minor Life recommended that the Council approve the above project as a
safety measure. There is more foot traffic on 92nd now and the days are shorter.
The Council acknowledged the streets "should be swept and the white lines repainted
as soon as possible, ii§ weather allows.-

RETAINAGE HELD IN ESCROW FOR GARY MERLINO CONSTRUCTION COMPANY under the 1979
Street Improvement Project under the G. 0. Bond Issue.
Allan Newbill stated he had reviewed all the work accomplished under this
project and found it to .be to his satisfaction. He recommends release of the
retainage mount.
REQUEST FOR FIKkL APPROVAL - SUBDIVISION OF LAND KNOWN AS 3239 92nd Avenue N. E.
BY CLARY WRIGIIT, NEPHEW OF ANNA WIC14M. ._
Lorraine Diede reviewed the above request for subdivision by Clary Wright. She
stated that the Planning Commission has recommended to the Council, as per the
Planning Commission minutes of 11/3/80, that the subdivision be approved. She
noted that a letter had been received from our Town Engineer this evening -
presenting his comments after review of the proposed subdivision. There were
nine item listed. The Council discussed the letter as follows:
Item #1 - 'The plat drawing must have a north arrow
This should be added to the mylar drawing
Item #2 _ The land use classification is not shown on the drawing, but is R-15.
Mr. Newbill explained that this classification does not need to be placed on
the mylar drawing. It is noted here for clarification.
Item #3 _ The elevation contours have not been shown on any of the plat drawings.
Mr. Newbill stated that elevation contours do not need to be included on the
mylar drawing but that they should have.been presented to the Planning Commission
at the time -of first considerations of this subdivision - in order to assist
in planning storm drainage, if required, and for the Town files.
Item #4 _ 'Me existing building (s) has not been shown with its relationship to
tTe proposed lot lines
Mr. Wright stated that the garage on Lot 2 is to be removed as soon as the
new home on Lot 2 is finished. Mr. Newbill stated the garage does not need
to be shown on the mylar for this reason.
The existing house on Lot I should be shown in relationship to the proposed
lot lines - the house outlined and arrows to property lines showing the
existing setbacks.
Item #5 _ The material. I received from the Town Clerk did not contain
evidence from the City of Bellevue . at water service was available, nor was
there a drawing showing.the pMosedservice.
Mrs. Diede stated that there is a letter in the file from the City of Bellevue
stating water service is available. She also reported that she had spoken to
Darrell. Bunger of the City of Bellevue in regard to a drawing presented with the
proposed plat showing how sewer connection was to be made. Mr. Bunger confirmed
that the City of Bellevue had accepted the method of connection presented by
Mr. Wright and would so advise the Town by letter. If construction is to be made
into the street right of way, a street opening permit must be obtained from the
Town Engineer..,

Council Meeting Minutes 11/11/80
Item b - The hots are not simple geometric sha es.
Discussion took place explaining that prior to the construction of Highway #520
this land was of a regular shape. When the freeway was built, part of the
land was taken for the freeway. The land remaining in private ownership
resulted in a shape of a triangle. The division of this triangle of land into
two parcels necessitates dividing the land so as to accommodate the existing
house on Lot 1.
The Council acknowledged their agreement to accept the division of this land
into ilessr�thanj.the-simple geometric shapes as outlined in Ordinance #65.
Item #7 -- The total perimeter of Lot 2 exceeds five times the square root of
e lox area.
After discussion, the Council conclu6ed that a hardship exists on this land
because of the shape that resulted when the State Highway tookt.,a part of this
land,that was originally a regular shaped piece, to use for freeway purposes.
Item #8 - It is unknown whether or not the exist
meets the required setbacks
structure on Lot 1
The Engineer for Mr. Wright shows the existing house setback at 22 feet from the
north property line. The required setback according to Mr. Newbill is 30 feet
After discussion, the Council determined that the existing house could remain
at this non --conforming setback. All other setbacks on Lot 1 conform. Any
future cons t€uction must conform with current ordinance requirements.
The mylar drawing must show 30 feet as
N. E. 33rd Street. All other setbacks
the mylar.
the required setback on Lot 1 -- off
are 10 feet and must also be shown on
Item #9 - T he setback from N. E. 33rd Street for both lots must be 30 feet.
1 of er setbacks would be 10 feet.
Discussion.
Item 9 is in conflict with the setbacks from the Town. Building Official who
gave a setback of 25 feet off N. E. 33rd Street. He had averaged the depth
of the lot and come up with a setback of 13 feet but increased that setback to
25 feet as Section 8.4.2.1 of Ordinance #225 states that no setback from a
public street in a R-IS zone may be less than 2S feet.
When the Planning Commission reviewed this request for subdivision at their
November 3rd meeting, it was agreed that a recommendation would be made to
the Council to approve setbacks aff Lot 2 only,to be at no point less than
19 feet and to average not less than 25 feet from the north property line.
This was allowed because of the irregular shape of the lot.
Discussion proceeded on whether or not the Planning Commission's decision
should be further modified due to the corrected 'information that the setback
off N. E. 33rd Street should be 30 feet instead of 25 feet. Mr. Wright stated
*as per Sec. 81.4.4 of Ord. #22S
Page 4
Council Meeting Minutes 11/11/80
at this time that he is now working with his second architect in an effort
to design a house of average proportions that will fit within the setback area.
The task does not seem to be possible and that is why he requested the lesser
setbacks be allowed. He stated that any further restrictions of the Planning
Commission's recommendation would conceivably make a "normal" house out of
the question. Further discussion seemed to support this contention.
The Engineer stated that the mylar of the plat should show the required setbacks
off N. E. 33rd Street in detail by (1) removing the two 25' now shown (Z)
drawing--�-----lines in the approximatelocation of.the setback line with an
arrow directed off to the side that states "For building -setback requirement;
'see note below"(3) at some location on the mylar drawing of the division of the
land include the following"wording:
*At no point less than 19.feet and to average not less
than 25 feet from the.north property line of Lot 2.
All other setbacks to be 10 feet from property lines.
Mr. Newbill stated that he did not take into consideration - or chose to ignore -
Highway #520 as a right of way.
Carson Wheeler moved that the Council accept the Planning Commission's recomenda-
tion for approval of the subdivision presented by Clary Wright provided that all
requirements of the Town Engineer are -met. The motion was seconded/and after
no further discussion passed unanimously.
by Robert Dahl
It is to be noted that all setbacks are to be measured from the outermost
extension of the structure to the property line.
Mr. Wright inquired about storm sewer plans and was advised to present his
plans to Allan Newbill for approval.
REQUEST FOR TENATIVE APPROVAL - SUBDIVISION OF LAND KNOWN AS 4615 92nd AVF-. N.E.
BY DR. LESLIE MCCLINTON - --
Lorraine Uiede reviewed the request by Dr. Leslie McClinton for subdivision
of this land into two parcels. The property runs from 92nd N.E. to the water.
The Planning Commission,r asnpexPth& minutes of their meeting of 11/3/80!;
recommended to the Council that this request be denied.
The application shows the existing house on the waterfront will be served by
a long driveway off 92nd, twenty feet wide along the south Side where a present
driveway now exists, The new lot will be located off 92nd Avenue N.E. with
access provided from that street and the dimensions of the lot wil:libe 50 feet
along 92nd N.E. and 300 feet towards the west.
The guest house and garage are to be removed and a new conforming garage will be
built on the lower lot at the N.E. corner to serve the existing house. The
new house to be built on the upper lot will also meet all setback requirements.
Dr. McClinton stated that he had contacted the neighbor to the North about
the possibility of joining together so that a subdivision with more regular
shaped lots might be made. The neighbor stated that he was not interested at
this.time.

Council Meeting Minutes 11/11/80
The Planning Commission denied the request based on Ordinance #6S, Section
6.4.3, "Lots designed with long private driveways as a means to avoid the ded-
ication of a public street, or a portion thereof, are prohibited, and the total
perimeter of a lot shall not exceed five times the square root of the lot area."
and Section 6.4.6, "Interior lots (lots not on a corner) shall be at least
eighty (80) feet wide at the building line. Chuck Flora reviewed the Planning
Commission's decision emphasizing the fact that the members believed the Ordinance
was written in this m� to prevent land to be divided into lots requiring
long narrow driveways. ey felt that there was no way to grant the request
under the Ordinance requirements. Minor Lile commented that he was unaware of
the perimeter rule (Sect. 6.4.3) and asked its purpose. Allan Newbill stated
that he believed the effect was to keep the lots in fairly even sizes.
Discussion took.place in regar4:,to the neighbors to the south who would prefer
to see the driveway placed on the Forth side. Dr. McClinton stated that he did
not wish to move his driveway to the North side of his property as this would be
a financial hardship and he was not sure that it would be advantageous to the
neighbors i�fio:bbject because of the possible loss of privacy since their door
is only five feet from the property line. fie pointed out that there is sufficient
area to allow the division and that there -is no other way to divide this parcel.
He feels it will improve the property by removing the guest house and garage
and improving the landscaping. Ittwas indicated that a review had been made of
some previous plats and that the Planning Commission had Ahe perimeter
rule in some cases. bmpi�;e
Mel Freeman commented that there are nine criteria -for subdivision. In his opinion
all but two of these have been met or do not apply. It appears that the two that a
are not being met have been compromised before. It seems to him that it would
be unfair to deprive a person with a large enough lot the right to divide. fie
stated that 14 of 22 Lots on 91st and 92nd from 42nd to 47th do not meet the 80
feet requirement. However, all of these existed.prior to Town incorporation.
Dr, McClinton stated that all power would be undergrounded from 92nd and that
all structures would be conforming.
The Engineen'ys comments contained in his letter of 10/13/80 were reviewed.
He stated that he was not making a recommendation but he wished to point out
some of the deficits. Lorraine Diede reminded the Council that this was only a
request for tenative approval. and that it was her understanding that Dr. 'Kc-
McClinton had not wished to go to further expense preparing detained Engineering
drawings unless the Council gave an indication of their intention to grant approval
to this Plat.
Larry Coleman suggested that a better way to approach a decision would be to
consider a change to the Ordinance. He feels it is very important to grant
all residents an equal opportunity. He felt this may not be the case if this Yo
request is granted now and in a few years a different Council makes a different
interpretation in a similar situation. Allan Newbill recommended that the
Planning Commission take a look at the Ordinance. Lorraine Diede stated that the
Planning Commission is planning soon to be in the process of reviewing Ord. # 65.

Discussion stated that the Council did not like to reverse the Planning
Commission's advice but that sometimes when more facts become known the decision
can be reversed. Carson Wheeler moved that the Dr. Leslie McClinton request
for tenative approval of the property known as 4615 92nd N.E. be granted.
Juanita Loder seconded. Passed 3 -2. Carson `Wheeler, Juanita Loder,
Mel Freeman, yes; Bob Dahl, Larry Coleman, no.
ALTERNATIVE BARRIERS FOR SWRVvIING POOL - 4225 91st N.E. - DR. BRUCE NUJ
Lorraine Diede reviewed the request by Dr. Bruce Neu for approval of alternate
barriers for his swimming pool. Ordinance #241, Section 7.4.8 requires a
swimming pool to be surrounded by a five foot fence. When Dr. Neu and his
family moved in the fencing on the Nest side of his property was not complete.
He has since completed the fencing on the west side and is in the process of
correcting the gate latches. However, all of the fencing on the West side is
not five feet high and that is the reason for a request for alternate barriers.
The Neu's have also installed a pool cover.
The Planning Commission reviewed the request and recommended approval of
alternative barriers to the Council. e'fter discussion, the Council felt it
was not clear to them that the fencing on the West side was adequate. They
also stated that the main reason for granting an alternate barrier in a similar
previous case was that the fencing on the sidelines extended into the water,
thus making the lake an effective barrier. In this case the fencing extends
only to the waters edge on the sidelines. Minor Life suggested that a council
man visit the sight and report at the next meeting. The case was continued until
December 9, 1980.
PUBLIC HEARING ON PRELIMINARY BUDGET - 1981
Lorraine Diede reviewed the preliminary budget. She discussed the setting of
the levy and the fact that many figures are tenative at this time. The Police
budget for 1981 was discussed and the Mayor thought that the Town should study
the possibility of developing our own police protection. The proposed costs
for Medina Police protection for 1981 to 'barrow Point increased 24.4 % over
1980. The Town finds this consistently harder to pay as our budget is limited.
Since 1978 Yarrow Points costs have increased 80.5%.
The Preliminary Budget was discussed in further detail. Lorraine Diede
particularly emphasized that Arterial Street Funds are only to be used fear
new construction projects; they may not be used for maintenance. Approval
from the State Department of Transportation is required for expenditures.
A suggestion was made that perhaps we should inquire if they can be used for
installing safety buttons on Points Drive East. Another possibility would be
construction of a sidewalk along 92nd N.E. from the PIETRO stop to Points Drive
West.
Lorraine Diede presented the 3rd Quarter Report and the Treasurer's Report for
review. with the Mayor and Council. She stated if questions arose or further
information was needed to please contact her. She referred to the fact
that the Street Fund has very little money and we are just starting into
>iu«inter and could very possibly have large maintenance problems. It can be
seen from the 3rd Quarter Report that there was a considerable carry over
19 from 1979 which, in addition to the gas tax monies received in 1980, has
nearly been depleted.

ORDINANCE #194 - VACATION AND SICK LEAVE
Lorraine Diede reviewed the Ordinance (#194) and the fact that the State Retirement
'System has requested information on payment of vacation pay and Sick leave upon
retirement.. It was noted that the ordinance is not specific regarding payment
or non payment upon termination and/or retirement. Since Lorraine Diede is retiring
it is requested that the Town define particulars of the ordinance. After discussion
it was decided that Lorraine Diede and Minor Lile would come.to•a mutual agreement
to be presented to the Council as an amendment to Ordinance #194,
Bob Dahl reported that the bumps that are to go around the corner on 95th and 40th
have not been installed as yet. Mrs. Diede stated Chief Anglin had indicated
are to be :installed as.soon as they arrive. -
