(Application 38-79) The Planning Commission recommends approval of this request with the revised site plan showing the revised location of the recrea- tion vehicle storage area along with the following provisions: (1) That the density be changed to be not more than six (7) dwelling units per acre. This would provide for a maximum of ill spaces, (2) That all lots bordering the residential areas on the south, east and north be increased to a minimum of 100 feet in depth and not less than 60 feet in width in order to maintain residential setbacks especially in the rear yards, (3) That a solid screen fence not less than six feet in height be constructed along the entire exterior boundary of the park.

Linda Mullins, 2023 Pike St. N.E., spoke against the rezone because trees which were required in the 1975 ordinance had not been planted yet.

Era 103 AUBURN, WASHINGTON MONDAY MAY 5, 1980 Elwin Morin, 1404 Riverside Drive N.E.,/stated they had never been against the rezone but their concern had been with the placement and screening of the storage area. It was moved by Larson, seconded by Roegner, that the public hearing be closed. MOTION CARRIED Reogner noted a copy of a letter from Earth Enterprises to Severson indicated they had contracted to put trees in the fall of 1980. He questioned why not sooner. Larson suggested the proper time for planting could very well be in the fall. Flechsig confirmed the trees had to be dormant. 1 Craig thought the matter of the fence along the approximate 160 foot area referred to in the Planning Commission's recommendation should be clarified to indicate the fence should be of the same quality that is on the rest of the property. Craig questioned .Severson about the trees which were supposed to have been planted in 1975. Severson said 6 trees were planted last .fall, however, it had been decided 00 by the Planning Department in remeasuring the property that there needed to be some d' more trees planted. Severson said this would also be done. NT Roegner stated he felt this was a pertinent fact and moved that the request of Q Iry Severson to rezone from R-2 to R-TP (Application 38-79) be approved to include the Planning Commission recommendations with an amendment to Item #3 to require Q the quality of the approximately 160 foot fence to be the same as on the rest of the property on 22nd St. N.E. and "M" St. N.E., and further,the letter from Earth Enterprises be entered as part of the record and the City Attorney be instructed to draw up the necessary ordinance.
