HomeMy WebLinkAbout05-18-1981AUBURN WASHINGTON MONDAY MAY 18, 1981 The regular meeting of the City of Auburn Council convened at 8:00 p.m. in the City of Auburn Council Chambers. ROLL CALL COUNCILMEMBERS: Councilmembers Roegner, Craig, Larson, Hitchcock, Flechsig and Lea present. Councilmember Kitchell excused. APPROVAL OF MINUTES It was moved by Flechsig, seconded by Hitchcock, to approve the Council minutes of the May 4, 1981, meeting as mailed. MOTION CARRIE AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION GREENE ANNEXATION - EAST OF 148TH AVENUE AND NORTH OF 368TH STREET S.E. Debra Barlow, 15124 S. E. 364th, spoke for those in opposition to the annexation. She submitted to the Council a map showing the area of the annexation with an indica- tion of those who were opposing it. She also submitted a letter in rebuttal to James Richardson's report on the annexation. Points of opposition outlined included (1) an untrue assumption that the City Council must annex the land to be proper stewarts of community affairs, (2) Janssen Addition is not representative of the surrounding area, (3) it is not necessary to worry about utility service to the area, since only cows live there and the low density housing which would come into the area could have wells and septic tanks, (4) the area does not "naturally" belong to Auburn as the neighbors feel it belongs to King County, (5) the City of Auburn does have plenty of area to build and does not have to expand to the east. Ms. Barlow provided statistics from the King County Department of Planning which they felt substantiated their claims there were approximately 4,000 buildable lots already in the City of Auburn. Tom Barghausen, Cavness Engineers, representing the petitioners, spoke in favor of the annexation. He noted several points for annexation were (1) already in the Auburn School District, (2) Fire Department responds to the area, (3) King County Comprehensive Plan allows for urban development, (4) area already receives some utility services, (5) north, south and west of Auburn is bounded by other municipalit (6) would provide a natural boundary, (7) should logically receive benefits of services through tax base, (8) timely to annex since studies of the area for utilities and comprehensive planning are current, in addition to several other reasons. Hitchcock asked the members in opposition to consider that 80% of those in the area of the annexation had signed the petition to annex. He related how in 1951 the Council was concerned about whether they should annex the G.S.A. area. Now Boeing has come in and there is a new crossing making their doubts unfounded. He noted at this time the City was only asking the King County Review Board for their review. He said he felt the City should have a say in what is being done with the property. Craig reported the Utility Committee had been asked by the petitioners what problems would be involved in annexation. He said the Utility Committee responded that presently the area is within the City's water district and there is a water pressure zone along 148th which meant any development beyond that point would require additional development of facilities for more water pressure. He said also the sewer capability presented a different problem as currently it would not be able to support the area. He felt, however, these problems are engineering problems which are addressed when considering a plat. Utilities, he thought, were not an issue of an annexation and that these problems could be solved. Roegner stated the Planning & Community Development Committee looked only at the , annexation itself. He noted the reason the staff recommended denial was because of the lateness of the report and the Committee did not want to hold up presentation to the Council. He also amplified Craig's remarks noting this was the annexation phase which is completely different than the development phase. Craig added to comments by noting the City is in a position of an impartial judge. Any citizen has the right to petition for annexation. He stated the City does not go out looking for annexations, however, by law must hear any petition presented to them. The Council considers not only the fact this petition had a high percentage -1- AUBURN WASHINGTON MONDAY MAY 18 1981 of property owners in the area signing the petition, but it also considers the neighbors. He added it was up to the City to decide the best use of the land in question. He said the City did not solicit the annexation and in his view was a proper request. Craig said he had concern the staff report dealt with the issues of utilities rather than the issues related to the annexation. He thought the question,.however, was whether the City would benefit from the annexation or was it going to stretch its services beyond its capabilities. He noted this area had recently been reviewed in revision of the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. When the single family density was approved it wasn't expected to go high density. Craig said he would be opposed to the annexation if this area would be high density. He added that on the surface it appeared to him there wasn't any difference between this petition and any other property the City has annexed. It was moved by Hitchcock, seconded by Lea, to refer the petition for annexation of approximately 120 acres on the southeast portion of the City lying east of 148th Avenue and north of 368th Street S.E. to the King County Boundary Review Board for their review. Flechsig asked if the Planning Department denial information would be sent to the King County Review Board. George Schuler responded the comments from the staff were in answer to questions the King County Review Board would be asking for justifica- tion for annexation. Lea said he had never seen it done before where the staff provided a negative report. He felt he would like to see it struck out because the information does not apply to the annexation issue. He felt it was a "legal" petition and would like to see it referred to only as an annexation per se. Schuler clarified further stating staff would have to respond to these things in a positive manner as facts relating to the questions the Boundary Review Board will request. Mayor Kersey asked if these were new questions required by the Boundary Review Board? Schuler replied any annexation petition would have to respond to these questions. Lea expressed concern about comparing "apples and oranges" by including information about utilities with the issue of annexation. Craig asked Schuler to explain the process beyond this point. Schuler said if the Council approved forwarding the petition to the King County Review Board the County would ask certain questions of the City including those items commented on by staff. The City would send maps, studies and answer their questions in a factual positivie manner. The Board could then waive action and return it for final action by the Council. Or, the Board could invoke jurisdiction and call for a public hearing and if approved return back to the Council for final action by adoption of an ordinance. Roegner wanted to add the comment the staff had a right to take a position on the matter. ROLL CALL VOTE: Councilmembers Hitchcock, Lea, Roegner, Craig, and Larson voted YES.
