Contents

The majority of Clyde Hill is zoned for single-family use with the exception of two commercially zoned areas: a gas station and a coffee shop. In addition to a small government zone, the City is home to four schools: two public schools - Clyde Hill Elementary and Chinook Middle School; and two private schools: Bellevue Christian School and Sacred Heart School. The City's minimum lot size is 20,000 square feet, although many smaller lots exist that pre-date the incorporation of the City.[ citation needed ]

Geography

The top elevation is close to 375 feet. There are approximately 21 miles of public roadways in Clyde Hill.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.06 square miles (2.75 km2), all of it land. [5]

History

Between 1946 and 1948, J. Gordon and Mary Schneidler subdivided and sold more than a dozen lots in a five-acre subdivision in Clyde Hill. Like many US housing projects following World War II, each deed of sale included an exclusionary racial covenant: "This property shall not be resold, leased, rented or occupied except to or by persons of the Aryan race." [6]

In response to the community's desire to control land use development such as lot size and commercial zoning, Clyde Hill was officially incorporated as a Town on March 31, 1953. On November 10, 1998, the Council voted to organize Clyde Hill as a non-charter Code City.

In 1953 area residents voted to become an incorporated Town by a vote of 145 to 117. Ken Day defeated Don Clark for the first Clyde Hill Mayors position, 91 to 58. All initial councilmembers were elected on write-in votes.

The 1975 mayoral election between incumbent Liberino "Lib" Tufarolo and challenger Miles Nelson ended in a tie with 576 votes for each candidate. Per state law, the winner was decided through a coin flip, which brought national media attention. Nelson won the seat as he called heads. [7]
