Dick Kammeyer, representing all the petitioners with the exception of Frank Miles
who was also in the audience, 302 "0" St., introduced Jeff Moore, Director of
Planning for Sleavin Associates, to make a presentation.
Jeff Moore, 301 IBM Bldg, showed the Council an enlarged air photo of the area
and oriented them to where the project was. He also gave a brief summary of how
the project would progress. He noted a fence would be put around the entire area
to begin with, that there would be a 10 foot green belt, the haul road put in,
top soil removed and stock piled for later restoration. He said the project would
take about 10 years and 6.5 million cubic yards of material. lie also provided
the Council with a three dimensional model of the net result of the surface mining
operation. Moore stated the Impact Statement covered the reclamation plan.
The map was marked Exhibit 1; the Model, Exhibit 2 and the Environmental Impact
Statement, Exhibit 3.
Hitchcock questioned Moore further about the haul road. Moore indicated the
road would go under SR-18 to intersect with the Auburn Black Diamond Highway in
the area of the existing railroad crossing then east along the Auburn Black Diamond
Road to the SR-18 Green River Interchange.
Richard Reich, 39105 172nd Ave. S.E., attorney for the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe,
submitted a letter dated April 6, 1981, listing seven objections to the proposed
permit. He also said the City's assertion of jurisdiction over this land is
disputed by the Tribe and while he realized he probably wouldn't be able to change
the Council's mind on the Tribe's jurisdiction their objections on the SPU are '
outlined in the written statement. He also noted the aerial photograph showed
some overlapping area of work already being done in what appeared to be the area
now being requested for a Special Property Use Permit. He wondered if previous
restrictions have not been followed how the Council could expect proposed restrictions
to be followed.
Roger Hornbuckle, 2419 - 17th S.E., representing 50 petitioners opposing the
Special Property Use Permit. He read the petition giving six objections to the
permit. He also added that the area around Skyway Lane was being used for dumping
refuse, teenage drug and booze parties and in the area of the burn trails were being
used by kids on motorcycles, unsupervised, some going in excess of 50 m.p.h.
Hornbuckle said the people in the area were not opposed to someone making a living,
however, if the permit were approved they would like to see (1) the buffer changed
from 10 to 100 feet, (2) mining of 10 to 20 acres only at a time, (3) limited
hours of operation and not on weekends, (4) fencing of the entire propery to
include existing operations, (5) mining restrictions during dry season and a (6)
surety bond for drapes, carpets and other items which suffer from severe dusting
from the operation. He called the Council's attention to his calculations that
removing 6.5 million cubic yards of material would drop the elevation 25 plus feet.
He wondered if this was mining operation rather than a regrading? Also, he felt
it would be good to make the owner's promises part of the requirements. Finally,
he asked if the fence could be maintained since constructing it and leaving it
unmaintained didn't help.
Frank Mills, 21380 North Tapps Highway, Sumner, said the area questioned by Mr.
Reich has been in operation since the early 1900's and was grandfathered in. Also
he responded about the fence being maintained saying they plan to not only main-
tain it but plan to build a more substantial fence.
Dick Kammeyer, 302 "0" St. N.E., asked to clarify a few points with regard to
Mr. Reich's statements. He noted the Indian property bordering the Enumclaw
Highway has been mined and left the property 30 or 40 feet up in the air. Also. they
mined their property on the other side of the Enumclaw/Auburn Highway for a shopping
center three or four years ago. A crusher was put in with no apparent concerti for
-3-

dust or noise. He felt, frankly, some of the things they are worrying about
they haven't done on their own land. He added as far as their operation was
concerned about the dust, the was mining going on before houses were built and
they are under regulation by the Air Pollution Agency. He said everything was
either water, oiled or hacktopped and there was no processing of material but
strictly removal.
Jeff Moore added to his previous comments. He said the planning process has
gone on for two years. They had met with staff and more recently the Planning
Commission. He noted the Planning Commission had reviewed the Environmental
Impact Statement apparently quite thoroughly and that the statement addressed
many of the items brought up by Mr. Reich and Mr. Hornbuckle. Moore stated
specifically the items regarding the water quality in White Lake was mentioned
in Condition 15 of the Planning Commission recommendations. Noise levels were
addressed in Conditions 5,6,7 and 8. Dust and dirt under the hydroseeding condition.
He also added the Audubon Society had recommended a 50 foot buffer area while
the Planning Commission felt 10 feet was enough. The sponsors have agreed on
50 feet.
M It was moved by Craig, seconded by Larson, to close the public hearing.
w MOTION CARRIED
Craig stated his experience has been that a lot depends on who the gravel operator
is and what you put in the ordinance offers no real guarantees. He felt you
Q couldn't put in this type of operation without some impact. He said six days
Q was a lot for residents abutting the area. Craig asked Schuler if the petitioners
could go to the Board of Adjustments if they decided they wanted something changed.
Schuler responded the Board of Adjustment have changed their rules so they could
not change SPU or CUP conditions.
Craig felt one thing they maybe should be looked at was the six day operation.
Another thing was the $1000 per acre performance bond. He wondered if this amount
' was too little. He added he believed a specific haul route should be a part
of the ordinance. He asked if some consideration couldn't be given to specifying
perhaps a 100 foot buffer zone in the Dogwood Street area until the operations
came up to that point.
Mayor Kersey suggested 200 feet north and south in a triangular -type shape.
Hitchcock stated the petitioners in the past have a record of operating six to seven
days. He asked if it would be a hardship to work five days and end at 5:30 p.m.
Kammeyer responded they could live with five days a week, that presently their
hours are until 3:30 p.m. and they could also live with the 100 foot buffer down
the north end.
Larson asked of the present pit was closer than the proposed one so their would
be no more noise than their is now. Kammeyer said this was correct.
Lea asked George Schuler if this was going to be a 10 year operation could it not
be restored in segments. Schuler replied the restoration was broken down into
two phases and to break it down any more than that it would be almost impossible
to restore into a manner you would want to use.
Lea asked if there wasn't some kind of safeguard to see the restoration was done.
Schuler suggested it could be inserted into ordinance to do the seeding. Moore
added as indicated in the EIS there were two phases which would be seeded after
each was completed. Lea also wondered if this was in the EIS would it suffice
or should it be in the ordinance. Schuler said part of the Planning Commission's
recommendations (14) covered this because it would require the operator to
meet with the Planning.Department every six months together with a statement to
indicate they were in compliance with the grading plan. He added he wouldn't see
any problems if the Council wanted to insert it into the ordinance.
Kammeyer offer further information on Lea's concern by stating it was State law
that they have a reclamation permit. After Council approval they would have to
get the permit. Also, in answer to one of Craig's concernsabout the $1000 an
-4-

acre performance bond he noted it costs around $600 an acre to reseed. The
State permit requires reseeding also.
It was moved by Larson, seconded by Craig, to approve the request of Frank
Miles, Don Mar Inc., Mrs. C. Pautzke and Olga Meade for a Special Property
Use Permit and the City Attorney be instructed to draw up the necessary
ordinance to include the stipulations that the haul route would be the only
means of exit for removal of gravel, the days would be limited to Monday
through Friday, the hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and the 100 foot buffer zone
in the area in the Dogwood Street area in addition to the Planning Commission
recommendations as amended.
ROLL CALL VOTE: All Councilmembers voted YES MOTION CARRIED
Councilmember Flechsig returned at this point.
4. TITLE GUARANTY CO. & VALLEY CITIES MENTAL HEALTH - SPU AMENDMENT - A_)PL. 1•81
Mayor Kersey declared the public hearing open on the request of Title Guaranty
Co. and Valley Cities Mental Health to amend an existing Speci-I Property Use
Permit to allow the construction of a 7,000 sq. ft. addition to an existing
building located at 2704 "I" St. N.E. The Planning Commission recommends
approval of this request because it will conform and will be compatible with
existing development on adjoining properties and be subject to the following
conditions: (1) That a 15 foot setback be maintained from the."I" St. N.E.
property line, (2) That prior to the City Council public hearing that a revised
site plan be submitted to the Planning Department for review. Said site plan
shall also include a landscape plan, (3) That any requirements of the Public
Works and Fire Departments be complied with.
Mayor Kersey asked Schuler if the revised site plan had been submitted as
required in the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission. Schuler
said a revised site plan had been submitted which showed a 15 foot setback.
Bill Stewart, Director of Administrative Services for Valley Cities Mental
Health Center, representing the Center as well as Title Guaranty Co., stated
there were three facilities located in Auburn. The main facility is where they
were proposing the addition. He said the purpose of this request is to help
them stabilize the cost of their facilities as two of them are tied to the
Consumer Price Index. They would be adding on to give them the ability to
house these two units with the main one. He also stated the impact on travel
would not increase.
It was moved by Hitchcock, seconded by Larson, to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED
Hitchcock asked about the comments from the Fire Department regarding the need
for a fire hydrant. Schuler responded the hydrant problem would be addressed
at the time of issuance of a building permit. He added the, is more than adequate
parking for this facility.
It. was moved by Hitchcock, seconded by Lea, to approve the request of Title
Guaranty Co. and Valley Cities Mental Health to amend an existing Special Property
User Permit and the City Attorney be instructed to draw up the necessary ordinance
to include the recommendations of the Planning Commission.
ROLL CALL VOTE: All Councilmembers voted YES MOTION CARRIED
5. JOHN KINGMAN - REZONE FROM R-3 TO R-4 "M" STREET S.E. IN 3300-3400 BLOCKS - APPL.
2-81
Mayor Kersey declared the public hearing open on the request of John Kingman to
rezone from R-3 (Duplex) to R-4 (Multi -Family) a parcel of land on the west side
of "M" Street S.E. in the 3300-3400 blocks. The Planning Commission recommends
approval of this request and that it be subject to any recommendations of the
Fire and Public Works Departments.
Robert Van Siclen, attorney, 29 1st St. N.F.., representing the petitioner, briefed
the Council on existing land uses around the area in question. He said because
-5-

AUBURN WASHINGTON MONDAY APRIL 6 1981
of those uses surrounding the property he felt the proposal was a logical use
for the property. He also saw there would be no greater burden as far as traffic
was concerned.
Harry Malesis, 2701 18th St. S.E., spoke on behalf of Mr. Kingman, inquiring about
George Schuler's comment in the March 18, 1981, memo about leaving this property
in its existing zoning to act as a buffer. He wondered what it would buffer.
He stated but only 9% of the area in a 1000 foot corridor on either side is
single family. The other 91% is multiple use, mobile home park or high density.
He noted what had been planned for the was ten four-plex units not necessarily
apartments.
It was moved by Larson, seconded by Hitchcock, to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED
Craig expressed concern over approving this because there is a lot of difference
in saying they are going to put in four-plexes and what they are really able to
do under R-4. He said he was opposed to R-4 zoning because there needs to be
a transition somewhere. He asked what would take place if they came in with a
00 Conditional Use Permit.
Larson said that even though a mistake may have been in the past he didn't see
any reason to deny this because it appeared it wouldn't make any difference
CD anyway. He noted everything to the west of "M" Street is pretty much R-4 now
Q except for the school. He felt cast of "M" is a pretty good buffer because you
Q have your R-3's and R-2's which buffer between single family on "0" Street.
Roegner asked Schuler what was directly north. Schuler answered there were three
duplexegsingle family on the smaller lot and the balance of the area is vacant.
Hitchcock wondered if .the Council couldn't grant a R-3 with Conditional Use Permit
or would they have to go R-4 with restrictions. Schuler said they had recommended
they apply for a Conditional Use Permit for their four-plexes which would allow
' them to build eight four-plexes and still have ample area. This would have
restricted the property to those uses. The R-4 would allow 2200 sq. foot living
area per unit which would allow them to put half again as many units.
Hitchcock asked Van Siclen if the eight four-plexes would be satisfactory. Van
Siclen it they would need ten unit to make development feasible.
It was moved by Craig to deny the request. The motion died for lack of a second.
Lea asked what restrictionsiwould be under the Conditional Use Permit. Schuler
said under the R-4 they could have multi -family but there would be height. Under
the R-3 you could have one living unit per 3500 sq. ft. of lot area. A four-plex
would take 14,000.sq. feet. Eight four-plexes and one duplex could be built
on the site which wouldn't given them their ten four-plexes.
Lea thought that in the transitional planning it .would go from single-family to
multi -duplex type to apartment type. He wondered how this would differ. Schuler
said you would have to go back to the previous rezone which was a R-4. The zoning
on the Kingman property was already R-3 which would act as the buffer zone.
Lea said he would probably feel a little more sympathetic to their position if
he was reasonably sure the R-2's across to the east would remain R-2. He asked
Schuler if there was anything in the Comprehensive plan which would prohibit any-
thing else. Schuler replied not particularly.
Hitchcock asked if he said east not west. Schuler said west of "M" is also low
density zoning but duplexes have been allowed.
Larson asked if the R-4 were approved could some restrictions be placed on the
type of units put on the property. Schuler replied the Conditional,Use Permit
would not allow them the ten units. He added the only other way would be if
the City went in with a separate contract with the owners.
It was moved by Larson, seconded by Hitchcock, to table the request until the
next regular meeting so Schuler and Bereiter could meet with the petitioner.

and Gary D. Ohrt to rezone from Unclassified to M-1 (Light Industrial) a parcel
of Land 4.22 acres in size lying on the north side of S. 285th St. and east of
SR 167 (Valley Freeway). The Planning Commission recommends approval of this
request because it will conform to our Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the area
which was adopted upon annexation and will conform to existing zoning in the area.

7. D. M. YOUNG CONSTRUCTION CO. INC. - COND. USE PERMIT - "I" ST. N.E. - APPL. 5-81
Mayor Kersey declared the public hearing open on the request of D. M. Construction
Co., Inc. for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a zero lot line subdivision
on a parcel of land 20.1 acres in size lying between a point 450 feet east of
"I" St. N.E. and the Green River and lying north of Brannan Park. The Planning
Commission recommends approval of this request for the "zero lot line" subdivision
and that before it goes before the City Council that petitioner shall get together
with the Planning and Public Works Departments to work out the items mentioned
in Conditions Ill and #2 of the Planning Department's recommendations. '
Joe Iker, John Keith & Associates, 1140 14th Ave. N.E., Bellevue, representing
D. M. Young Construction, spoke in favor of the request. He showed the Council
a copy of the site plan and explained how they would build duplexes with the
party wall on the lot line. He said it was a new concept which was being used
in California and was working its way up to this area.
No one else spoke for or against the request. It was moved by Flechsig, seconded
by Hitchcock, to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED
Larson asked if this was like the development on Lea Hill. Schuler replied yes,
however, they had learned a lot fuom that development and there were also other
substandard problems in addition.
Larson asked further about parking of recreational vehicles. He thought it would
be very hard to enforce not parking in a way protruding into the street. Schuler
said this is why they have requested putting in restrictive covenents administered
through the home owners association. He said there would not be ample parking
in the driveways and on the street with one side reserved for a fire lane.
Craig expressed concern in having roads which are too small. He felt enforcing
restrictive covenents would be impossible. He said he was opposed to streets
so small parking could be allowed only on one side.
Roegner asked Schuler about Item 2, Page 2 of his February 23, 1981, memo, "There
shall beonescreened off-street parking space provided at a central location for
recreation vehicles, boats, etc. for each 10 living units. Schuler responded
this is what the owners had come up with themselves.
Roegner asked Chief Gibson how the Police Department would enforce keeping one
side of the street vacant. Gibson responded to the extent they enforce other
areas with parking on one side.

Hitchcock asked Chief Spencer to express the Fire Department's opinion on this
type of parking. Spencer stated their experience up until now has not been too
good.
Roegner asked Mr. Iker what would happen if double parking were provided. Iker
said it would have considerable impact on the development.
Craig said he had a particular problem with this type of street. The City has
had to live with these problems. He recommended referring the matter to the
Street and Planning & Community Development Committees.
It was moved by Craig, seconded by Larson, to refer this request to the Street
and Planning & Community Development Committees to come back to the Council
the first Council meeting in May.
