Houghton/Everest business district rezoning causes stir

City prepares for second Totem Lake Symposium Part two: First event yielded work plan for neighborhood

Residents say city rushing project that could result in five-story buildings

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

S

ome Kirkland residents are concerned over proposed zoning amendments to a Neighborhood Center that rests on the dividing line between the Everest and Houghton neighborhoods on N.E. 68th Street.

The changes could mean four- and five-story buildings in what most consider the Houghton business district.

Houghton homeowner Sandy Helgeson said that the rezoning means higher density with an extreme traffic impact.

“I feel like the residents in Houghton were not adequately informed to the immense changes to the comprehensive plan and the zoning amendments,” Helgeson said.

Houghton Community Council member Rick Whitney said the council and the Planning Commission have been working on the Central

Houghton Neighborhood Plan for the last couple of years.

In July, the Kirkland City Council directed the Planning Commission to start the process for rezoning as a part of the 2012 Work Program.

As a result, Whitney said the Everest Neighborhood Association didn’t get much time to deliberate.

“I understand their concern and their resistance on the pace,” Whitney said. “We had two years and they are asked to update their most important part of their area in two months.”

The Everest Neighborhood Plan has not been updated in over 20 years.

“We will have a little over a month (a public hearing is scheduled for Oct. 25) to inform our residents, study the facts and give our input,” said Everest Neighborhood Association member Anna Rising.

“There is no way that this can [ more ZONING page 12 ]

School to celebrate 84 years since she graduated in 1928.

Prato Barone, the associate principal for LWHS said that having the Golden Grads Reunion at the school is great because its core values in tradition and history really connect the Golden Grad community.

“We literally have thirdgeneration students coming through,” Barone said. “So many people who have

settled (in Kirkland) have a connection to Lake Washington High School.”

Krahn said her high school’s mascot was also the Kangaroo and its colors were purple and white, the same as Lake Washington High School. “‘Find a way or make one’ - that was our motto,” Krahn said.

From its prime visibility for commuters on 405 to supporting the biggest employer in the city - Evergreen Hospital - to its economic impact on Kirkland, the Totem Lake area is vastly important to the City of Kirkland.

City officials have made the Totem Lake neighborhood a priority during the past three years. The city began its outreach in 2010 with the Totem Lake Symposium and continued that dialogue with community members through four Totem Lake Conversations meetings.

City officials and community members met for the fourth Totem Lake Conversations on Monday at Cafe Veloce to talk about community issues and to promote the second Totem Lake Symposium, set for 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 26 at Studio East.

During their meetings with the public, city officials have received input and direction from business leaders, real estate developers, residents and others.

“We want to turn the second Symposium into a work plan like we did with the first Symposium,” City of Kirkland Economic Development Manager Ellen Miller-Wolfe during the meeting. [ more PLAN page 3 ]

“At commencement I had to give the speech and I forgot the last line,” she said. “The teacher had given me a couple of little lines at the very last minute, but the girl behind me that was prompting me didn’t give them to me so I had to let her have it and I said ‘Dammit’ in front of everybody.”

Krahn’s family moved to Washington from Finland and she was born in Ballard. Then when she was 4 years old her parents and her two brothers moved to “little Finn-Hill” in Juanita.

She remembers summers were filled with a lot of swimming in Lake Washington, life guards excluded. She recalls Juanita beach had pretty shallow water so it “wasn’t dangerous.” But as soon as school started, Krahn had to walk 2.5 miles every day.

“I tried out for basketball but then when I realized I had to walk home after practice, I never tried it again,” she said.

Krahn’s high points have been getting married, having her children and her travels to Alaska, Hawaii (five times) and Finland (three times).

“It’s incredible she can keep track of everything.”

“One of the things we heard (during the first Symposium) was ‘it’s the economy stupid,’” said Miller-Wolfe.

With the real estate market in full collapse and not very many developers wanting to take a chance, city officials went after other issues that arose from the Symposium.

Those changes have brought some movement in the business district.

“We have seen growth in residential development and employment,” said MillerWolfe. “But we are not where we want to be.

Police Blotter The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Kirkland Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. The Kirkland Reporter Police Blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Kirkland, which average about 1,000 per week.

Between Sept. 14-20 the Kirkland Police Department reported 527 traffic violations (seven DUIs), 27 school zone traffic violations, 23 alarm calls, 24 noise complaints, six calls for malicious mischief, 15 calls of disturbance, 14 thefts, five car prowls, 41 acts of traffic abandonment, eight animal calls, 14 calls of civil disturbance, three reported burglaries, six domestic violence calls, 10 calls for harassment, eight reports of illegal drugs, four alleged assaults and nine acts of fraud.

The victim suffered contusions and lacerations to the face but declined medical attention.

DUI: 1:56 a.m., 12300 block of N.E. 85th Street. A 49-year-old man from Woodinville was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in a black Suburban.

The city has loosened the zoning demands and it is no longer zoned strictly for retail business use. During the meeting Monday, city officials talked about how they are seeing more high tech businesses moving into the Totem Lake neighborhood as a result.

“The new businesses that are moving into the Totem Lake area know that they are pioneers,” said Kirkland Chamber of Commerce Director Bruce Wynn. “We in the Chamber are trying to help them.”

Wynn talked about the Chamber’s effort to expand some of the Kirkland downtown events throughout the city and into Totem Lake.

Many of those events take place on the weekends.

“Weekdays are good because of the hospital,” said Cafe Veloce owner Liz Calouri. “But the weekends are bad. No one wants to come to Totem Lake on the

His preliminary breath test was 0.189 and his blood alcohol content was 0.196.

Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride told attendees at the Conversations gathering that the city plans to begin work on amending the comprehensive plan to “end the barriers to expansion in the Totem Lake area.”

City officials are also beginning to work through traffic circulation issues explored at the first Symposium. One big project is to make a cutDomestic violence: 9:43 p.m., 12010 120th Place N.E. A 47-year-old woman allegedly pinned down her 17-year-old daughter after an argument. The incident was 30 minutes after police had arrived for a previous verbal disturbance after the woman put her cigarette out in her daughter’s ice tea and slapped her.

Sept. 14 DUI: 10:10 p.m., 13400 block of 121st Avenue N.E. A 26-year-old man was taken into custody after he allegedly crashed his white Galant into a parked Miata. The man showed signs of intoxication and did poorly on his sobriety

through street between Slater Ave. N.E. and 124th Ave. N.E. at N.E. 120th St. “This will be important for street connectivity,” said McBride.

The city is also approaching some other ideas for better connectivity through the area.

“We are also beginning to look at better access to 405,” said Miller-Wolfe.

A new on and off ramp at N.E. 132nd St. has been talked about for years, along with north-bound access from N.E. 116th St. One issue that came from the first Symposium is the confusion with numbered street names that are similar to each other and intersect.

But correcting the issue is about more than just changing some street signs.

“We have not tackled that one yet because the issue is a lot more complicated than it seems,” said Miller-Wolfe.

Two women were arrested on misdemeanor warrants and Bremerton police will charge the man and others at the apartment with illegal drug possession. There was a total of five women and two men involved.

Street names also give some businesses their identity. The city wants to make sure the renaming of the streets makes sense and gives a sense of place.

The issue of flooding has had a big impact on many businesses and some efforts to redevelop. Totem Lake Boulevard and other roads have often flooded in the past. But the city has made headway in fixing many of the roads and flooding issues.

City workers will also replace two culverts around the Boulevard and under 405 to prevent more flooding in the future.

“This is a big commitment from the city,” said McBride.

There has been one big change as far as Totem Lake

Malls is concerned.

“They now have local representation in CBRE (the malls property management company),” said Miller-Wolfe.

“Having a home team that we can deal with directly and is more responsive makes things easier.”

As a result the city has had an ongoing dialog with representatives and has invited the owners to take part in the next Symposium.

And while the redevelopment agreement between the city and the malls’ owners expired in 2009, the two still have another agreement on the table. That agreement expires in 2016 and essentially says that if the mall is redeveloped the city will help with $15 million in infrastructure improvements.

USPS picks winners and losers

T

he newspaper business—both small and large papers—has sounded full-throated opposition this past month about a plan by the U.S. Postal Service to purposely entice advertising out of the newspaper so ads can be placed instead with USPS favored stakeholder Valassis Inc., which bought direct mail company ADVO in 2006.

The goal of USPS is to create more advertising mail. To newspapers, which count on advertising to pay its reporters and cover the news, this new venture is beyond alarming. Many think it will push some newspapers—already made fragile by the economy and the Internet—over the edge.

If that happens, it is the communities across our country that will feel the most long-term harm.

People have a love-hate relationship with advertising, whether in the newspaper or in the mail. When advertising helps them find deals or shop smartly, they love it. When it doesn’t happen to scratch the shopping itch, they may not like it so much. But most people understand advertising drives the economy and it brings other intangible benefits, such as paying the bill for news coverage that keeps communities informed.

On every level advertising is highly competitive. Local, regional and nationally, newspapers compete with a growing field of ad media, from Internet to television and door hangers to direct mailers.

But now the Postal Service wants to pick winners and losers in this market. It is providing postage rebates to Valassis of more than 30

percent if Valassis can divert more ad inserts into direct mail from newspapers.

Not everyone can play. The discounts can be offered by Valassis only to large national retailers.

Newspapers cannot get the same discount for their own mail because they can’t sign one national postage contract, as the direct mail company did, with USPS. Neither can a small clothing or bookstore or a hairdresser or auto parts shop. We—the newspaper and our small businesses—are all local. This deal is only for the big guys.

For the little guys, USPS has another advertising plan that enables businesses to bring unad-

dressed advertising directly to the post office.

What’s wrong with this picture? It is that USPS isn’t a business. It is owned by Uncle Sam. It exists to serve all. It shouldn’t be picking winners and losers in any marketplace. It shouldn’t be competing with and undercutting its stakeholders, which are all of us. It should deliver the mail that exists, promptly and affordably.

One of USPS’s big goals is to carry even more advertising as the Internet saps away letters and bills.

But we have to ask ourselves: Does America need a federally-owned advertising service? This newspaper says no.

Huge turnout for Study Sessions A year and a half later, citizens are more involved and more incensed than ever about the Potala project on Lake Street and 10th Avenue South.

That was clearly apparent by the huge turnout for the city council study session Sept. 18 on amendments to our commercial zoning code as developed and presented by the Planning Commission - at the City Council’s request.

There were approximately 50 concerned citizens in attendance, packing the Peter Kirk room to the gills.

Seating was quickly overwhelmed and latecomers had to stand or sit on the floor with their backs against the walls. This is truly remarkable for a grass-roots movement. STOP (“Support The Ordinances and Plans”) started in early 2011 with a small contingent of concerned neighbors and has grown now to involve some 1,000 followers, at least 500 of whom have been publicly identified. The movement grows every week.

Usually such “protests” peter out after a couple of meetings, but the Potala issue has definitely caught the imagination of Kirkland citizens and many visitors as well. The involvement, the passion, and the commitment, have only grown, and for that the STOP leadership team can only say “thank you” to those who have given their time to be involved. Clear-

Robert L. Style, Kirkland

In support of Prop 2 I’ve been a Kirkland resident for 24 years, and the things I love best about living here are the water, parks, trails and green spaces. That’s why I’ll be voting for Proposition 2, the Levy for Kirkland Parks, in November.

As sales tax revenue has dwindled, city budgets have been slashed. Parks have been especially hard hit.

The levy will provide critical funding for the Cross Kirkland Corridor and the Green Kirkland program, both of which are very important to me personally. I’m eager to walk on the six-mile corridor. I’m eager to see our urban forests restored to health, without ivy climbing the trees and blackberry choking out the native plants.

Proposition 2 will also provide funding for park maintenance, lifeguards, and much more.

It’s a lot of value for about $5 a month.

riana Maher used to juggle her nights between sleeping on a friend’s couch in Eastlake and an air bed in Woodinville.

“I suppose the appropriate term was that I was homeless but not in a stereotypical sense,” Maher said in an email to the Reporter. “I had savings, I washed and ate daily, I did chores and I sent my resume out to several job openings every week.”

Maher had just returned to the United States in August 2011 after living abroad for four years in Japan and Brazil.

But that following October she landed a job at Nintendo and found a new home at Tudor Manor, a mini residential suite in Redmond. It was near her work, it was $620 a month and it was environmentally friendly - she was sold.

Maher’s story aligns with many who face the dilemma of living in affordable housing near their jobs in big cities or facing a long commute.

Kirkland apartment rents can be expensive. The average is $1,540 for a one bedroom, according to hotpads.com. With the added gas expense, the cost of living can be steep.

In an effort to help Kirkland workers find homes near their job, Kirkland’s Planning Commission is working with the city council to amend specific zoning codes in the busiThe

Platinum certification doesn’t directly enforce low-auto use, the studies found that there was much more bicycle use than vehicles at Tudor Manor.

“My commute is incredibly easy,” Maher said.

“It is a four minute walk from my apartment to the Redmond Transit Center.

Then the bus takes eight minutes to take me to the bus stop closest to my office.”

Angela Rozmyn, a LEED Accredited Professional for Natural Build Environments, said, “it’s almost nicer not to have a car” at Tudor Manor. She said all residents at Tudor Manor who don’t use a car receive $25 a month for transit. Those who do must pay between $50 to $60 a month for parking.

“It’s a pretty good incentive to get rid of your vehicle,” Rozmyn said. “It’s a pretty big swing, especially because these units are more affordable.”

Additionally, the City of Redmond provided a letter to the planning commission, which stated a study about traffic at Vision 5 - another residential suite in Redmond - is “not anticipated to create a significant adverse traffic impact.” The letter further said the SRO complex was forecast to generate 11 vehicle trips and 19 pedestrian trips during the evening rush hour. Vision 5 is geared toward artists looking to showcase and sell their work just below where they live and is expected to be finished being built this winter.

Don James Golf Classic raises money for B&GC The 19th Annual Don James Golf Classic raised more than $160,000 for the Kirkland Boys & Girls Club (KBGC) on Sept. 14 at the Newcastle Golf Club, including one record-breaking donation.

Cobalt Mortgage President Keith Tibbles’ donation of $20,000 to start the night was a record for the KBGC. “That is the largest single gift the Club has received in close to five years now,” said Executive Director of the KBGC, Doug Wozeniak.

“The announcement of the $20,000 gift led us to break all records for this year’s tournament fundraising efforts,

proceeds that will allow for hundreds of kids to utilize our services.”

Proceeds benefit community youth programs at the KBGC. The total funds raised were also a record for the event, which was presented by the Kirkland branch of Cobalt Mortgage for the tenth year.

The event was also sponsored

by ROOT Sports and KJR Sports Radio.

Both courses were sold out during the event, as 288 golfers and 38 sponsors participated in the event.

The man who was shot by a Kirkland police officer late Monday night was released from the hospital and charged with second-degree robbery and second-degree assault.

Joseph K. Rundlette, 25, of Bothell was released from Harborview Medical Center Wednesday and booked into the King County Jail following surgery to remove a bullet from his left shoulder, according to charging documents. Prosecutors requested bail to be set at $100,000 and Rundlette posted bond Thursday evening and will return to court Oct. 4 for arraignment.

The incident began when the female victim arrived at the Motel 6 with a male friend and allegedly posted an ad as an escort on backpage.com. Around 10:19 p.m. she began to receive phone calls from a man identifying himself as Joe, asking to meet with her. Rundlette arrived at the motel at about 11 p.m.

The man allegedly gave her $160 in cash in exchange for sex, according to charging documents.

“Since the event occurred between the two of them and we did not witness and can’t prove that, she was not arrested,” said Kirkland Police Lt. Mike Murray.

Rundlette, who told officers he expressed his disappointment with the encounter, attempted to take the woman’s purse. The woman fought with him for control of the purse when he allegedly began to strangle her. The woman gave up the purse and Rundlette ran from the room, the docu-

ments continued.

The woman, with only pants on, ran from the room and began screaming for help. Three officers, hearing the calls for help from the adjacent Office Max parking lot, rushed to the scene and one radioed there was a disturbance at 11:19 p.m. She spotted two Kirkland patrol cars and yelled at the first officer she saw, “Him, it’s him!” while pointing at Rundlette. One of the officers yelled to the man to “Stop!” several times. Rundlette ignored the order, got into his Jeep Cherokee and began to drive off. Rundlette would later tell investigators at that point he knew he was “in trouble,” the documents continued.

The officers gave chase, two on foot and one in a patrol car. Rundlette allegedly turned the Jeep’s lights off. One officer attempted to deploy a spike strip but was unsuccessful. Rundlette later told investigators he had the intent of “getting away” and that he did not want to stop and was intent on escaping, the documents continued.

With a patrol car behind him and two officers at the exit ahead, Rundlette allegedly accelerated to between 40 and 60 mph, according to four witnesses and the officers.

How Golden will your “Golden Years” be?

By Timi Gustafson, R.D.

As they enter retirement age, baby boomers are once again at the center of the attention of marketers and industry. I speak from experience. Hardly a day passes by on which I don’t receive a letter, brochure or magazine in the mail, inviting me to go on a trip to far-flung places, continue my adult education, or join a community of like-minded, active seniors. Aging has never been so much fun and so full of promise, it seems.

Take, for example, the movie “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,” which turned out to be one of the longest-running box office hits this year. In it, a group of retirees from England goes off to India (of all places) to start a new life that appears to be easier and more enjoyable than everything they’ve left behind. There is affordable health care, cheap housing, and, surprisingly enough, even job opportunities open up for those who have the courage to seek them.

Some things may be a little chaotic, but that’s all part of the fun when you no longer need to stress over small

stuff.

Unlike for its forebears, retirement for this generation – so we are told – is a new beginning rather than

a move closer to the end.

The defining word now is “adventure,” which, of course, comes from the Latin term for “arrival.”

Instead of fading away, this is the time to (finally) come into one’s own.

The Juanita High football team had a big third quarter in a 28-21 win over Liberty Friday night at home.

The Rebels and Patriots traded scores in the first half, which ended in a 14-14 tie, but the Rebels’ Oscar Fuentes polished off drives by running in two touchdowns of six and three yards in the third quarter.

Fuentes also scored in the second quarter on an 8-yard run, and Alec Martin also received a short pass from quarterback Tavin Montgomery in the opening frame.

With the win, Juanita improved to 2-2 on the season and will take on top-ranked Bellevue this Friday, at Bellevue High School, at 7 p.m.

Let say a Kirkland runner is looking for a race to take part in. Where do they go to get the information – a website, an email, Facebook or Twitter. What if instead of hunting all over for the information, it was available in one spot when you could find an event, compare it to others and then share it with friends?

That very idea is driving the founders of Tenacity Sports to go in a new direction, called Gametiime.

Jon Tam, one of the founders of Tenacity Sports and Gametiime, said they discovered while running events as part of Tenacity Sports that there was a side of the business they didn’t get to spend nearly as much time on as they wanted – the technology side. Tam and co-founder Don Le knew that that portion of the business, developing their website into something with more data and information, was something they wanted to do, but with running events and everything else, it wasn’t going to happen as soon as they wanted.

“We knew we would do it, but not right then,” said Tam. He said after doing some thinking about where

evance is very important to us, very local.”

The site is currently taking registration for people interested in participating in the beta testing of the site, which will go live sometime between now and the end of the year.

Tam said they are also looking for race directors and events who may be interested in working with Gametiime by listing their events on the site.

While someday the company may expand to other sports on the site, for now the focus is running because Tam and Le want to make sure they do it right.

“We want to do small really well because we go really big,” said Tam. “We don’t want a mediocre product. I’m confident in our willingness to listen to customers.”

Tam said the site’s bread and butter will be to help users discover and search for events, see pictures and information about those events and then share them with friends.

Anyone looking to join the Beta testing for the site can sign up at gametiime. com.

Race directors who are interested in working with the site can email Tam at jon@tenacitysports.com.

the company was and what they wanted to do, they realized their was an opportunity for something new.

“We did a market exploration and asked people how they find information about this kind of thing, the reoccurring message there wasn’t one place to find it all,” said Tam. The found consistently in talking to people that this was an area where they could find a niche.

“The concept is Gametiime and it’s a place to discover, compare and share,” he said. The name was two-found, partially because gametiime.com was an available domain and because the two ii’s represent people participating together, a core principal.

The site, which Tam said will be in a Beta version by the end of the year, will sort of be like Yelp, but for sports.

“We believe sports are in our DNA,” he said.

In the beginning stages of the site, Tam said they will focus on running events in the state. This will allow them to roll out the basic features of the site, while getting feedback before any expansion.

“Running sites are valuable resources, but we felt there was an opportunity to do better,” he said. “Rel-

now, without any zoning or Comprehensive Plan amendments, they could build “quite a bit more than what’s there now.” She added that the changes have been made “piecemeal” over the years and there was no overall plan.

“That’s the heart of their neighborhood …,” said Ruggeri. “We want something there that will work so this can all come together in a better way.”

The upside of this proposed plan is that redevelopment can provide public infrastructure improvement, according to Shields.

“How do we make the streetscape along 68th more pedestrian oriented and more ‘green’?” Shields asked. “By incorporating a lot of street trees and landscaping into the infrastructure there, bike lanes, wider sidewalks. And for these properties that are next to the railroad, there’s the opportunity to incorporate public access to the trail that’s going to be there.”

Shields said there has not been any kind of traffic analysis even though traffic impacts will be discussed in the October public hearing.

Traffic analysis is typically done for a 20 year time span.

Shields thinks “very little” of the area will be redeveloped during that time, which makes traffic hard to predict.

Only one developer has interest in redevelopment.

Doug Waddell, who has owned the apartment buildings near the railroad for 16 years, said the soonest redevelopment would happen is about two years.

He says his property would most likely maintain its residential use, despite the option to incorporate retail space, and that the “economy would have to be right.”

But developers could technically take action any time after the amendments are made and changes to the comprehensive plan are accepted.

Ruggeri noted if businesses wanted to redevelop

he Kirkland City Council met with Planning Commission Chair Mike Miller Sept. 18 to further discuss density unit limits in the proposed Potala Village location off of Lake Street South.

The Planning Commission recommended 36 units per acre for the area, while other similar zones in South Rose Hill and Market Street were recommended not to exceed 24 units per acre.

Council member Amy Walen, along with other council members, questioned why there was a difference in density units.

“I’m interested in the distinction between Moss Bay, Rose Hill and Market Street. The proposal is that they would be residential markets but two are 24 and one is 36?” Walen asked.

Miller explained that South Rose Hill and Market Street had more single family homes surrounding those areas while the Moss Bay site had a lot more general density.

But during the council meeting, David Mann of Support the Ordinances and Plans (STOP) testified against the 36 density unit.

“We think if you look carefully at the zones,

be done in that short of a time frame. We are asking for one year to try to get all the information we will need.”

Planning director Eric Shields and senior planner Angela Ruggeri said Everest was notified on Aug. 1 but the chair of the Association never responded.

The Reporter attempted to call the Everest chair Jill Keeney with no response.

“Jill has always been very responsive. She was on vacation for part of that time and I suspect the emails said something about Houghton in the subject line, so they did not catch Jill’s attention (since we don’t live in that neighborhood),” Rising said in an email.

Rising pointed out that even if Keeney had seen the emails when they were sent, it would have made little difference because Everest residents go out of town and the neighborhood association doesn’t meet until the end of September.

The changes under consideration would promote mixed commercial and residential development in the Neighborhood Center.

The Planning Commission proposed zoning that would allow five-story developments in Houghton Center, the Waddell multi-family residential properties, Lakeview Office Center and Houghton Village and Houghton Plaza areas. A four-story develop-

ment would be allowed just north of Sixth Street South.

“Right now, everything … has density determined by the height and the bulk of the building,” Ruggeri said.

“In other words, it doesn’t have a specific number (of units). It’s determined by how many units you can fit in the building.”

The issue is whether this type of zoning should be changed. Shields says there are pros and cons of each.

“When you talk about the type of buildings that are five stories and have the type of flexibility to determine the density by the bulk and mass, it allows buildings that are built to put their parking underground or in a garage and, economically, it works,” Shields said.

In turn, Shields said capping density could be expensive because parking requirements would shift to the street level.

The Growth Management Act is in place to promote more density but Shields can’t deny that it brings more traffic.

“That’s probably the biggest concern that we’ve heard

670652

particularly the south lake area and the surrounding properties, you’ll find that the vast majority are single family homes - two-to-one - and we don’t see that justification for using a 36 unit on that property versus 24 units per acre on the other two properties,” Mann said.

The Moss Bay Business Neighborhood (BN) Zone has been a topic of controversy for over a year.

When Lobsand Dargey of Dargey Enterprise proposed a 144 apartment unit on a 1.2 acre lot with a view of Lake Washington, neighbors and the surrounding community protested. As a result, the city issued two moratoriums on new building permits for the area. The freezes led Dargey to file a lawsuit in May arguing that the city did not have the jurisdiction to react that way based on one project.

The existing moratorium will expire Nov. 15. The council is expected to make a decision on Oct. 2 on whether it should renew the moratorium or enact an interim zoning ordinance before Dec. 11.

The public is invited to give testimony on the issue during the Oct. 2 and Oct. 16 council meetings.
