Planning Commission Meeting July 12, 2005 Page 7 Dave Macarenas, 517 Laurel Drive, member of Everett Shoreline Coalition, stated that the process had been longer than just the appeal process. He stated that a lot of work has gone into the plan and a lot of money has been spent by all the parties and asked Commission to endorse the amendments. Ron Smith, Buse Timer Company, stated that he was concerned over the 200 foot buffer and wondered why affected landowners were not included in those negotiations. Commissioner Dutton asked if there was anyone else who wished to speak. There was no response. Motion: Commissioner Trautman made a motion to close the public hearing. Commissioner Ryan seconded the motion. Vote: All in Favor. Motion Carried. Commission Dutton asked if there was any discussion. Commissioner Trautman asked if existing property owners would have to comply with the new buffer requirement as expansion and redevelopment occurs on existing private properties. Mr. Laschever responded yes and that the new provisions would apply to any expansion plans. Commissioner Ebert thanked Mr. Laschever and Ms. Franz for their work on the agreement and felt that it was a workable agreement. He did not agree with the 200 foot buffer; however, felt that there were mechanisms that would allow some flexibility. Motion: Commissioner Ebert made a motion to approve resolution as presented by staff. Commissioner Trautman seconded the motion. Vote: Commissioner Olivers, yes; Commissioner Trautman, yes; Commissioner Loup, yes; Commissioner Ryan, yes; Commissioner Ebert, yes; and Chairman Dutton, yes. Motion Carried. 5 MINUTE BREAK Item #3: Public hearing and decision on the recommendation on the Kenny Annexation Zoning Bob Larsen stated that this was the first annexation that has been brought before Planning Commission since 1998. The annexation has been approved by the Snohomish County Boundary Review Board following 75% petition approval by City Council. He presented a slide of the area zoning. The question before Commission is whether or not Commission will support MM zoning in an area designated Light Industrial (5.3) and, for the area designated 1.3 (single family), set zoning to R-1A for the residential parcels.
