A. Public Hearings 1. Comprehensive Land Use Plan Change from Multi -Family Residential to Commercialon-p-roperty located on the east side of "A" Street S.E. in the 3800 block. Marvel Olsen, Laurelwood Mobile Park, asked how this would affect the adjoining property. Dugan indicated it would not affect the park. Motion by Hitchcock, SECOND by Colburn, to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Craig expressed concern that this may set a trend of someone asking for a rezone then changing the Compre- hensive Land Use Plan which he did not want to see. Dugan said he agreed wholeheartly and that the burden of proof of the need for the change would be up to the applicant. MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Craig, to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan from Multi -Family to Commercial and to instruct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 2.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 3. Opal Love Rezone from Single Family to Duplex on pro- perty located on the northwest corner of "0" and 29th Streets S.E. Mayor Roegner noted for the record a letter had been received from Kathleen Woodbine requesting access to their property be maintained. Dugan explained it was a public road, that she was using it and she had rights which would provide her access. Dorothy Ring, 2413 Meadow Avenue North, Renton, real estate agent for the petitioner, explained the peti- tioner would like to sell the property. No one else spoke for or against the request. MOTION by Hitchcock, SECOND by Larson, to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Several members of the Council expressed concern over the R-3 zone designation creeping across the street. Craig wondered if there was not another way to handle this. Dugan explained the Comprehensive Land Use Plan called for this area to be multi -family and the Zoning Map indicated single family. He noted the petitioner ' could possibly request a variance. Councilmembers Craig and Kurle thought a variance may be the best way to handle this request. MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Hitchcock, to table action on this item until the first Council meeting in July and suggest the petitioner request a variance from the Board of Adjustments. Larson objected sending this to the Board of Adjustments since it was inconsistent with the general Council prac- tice to not send it to the Board. Councilmember Larson voted NO. MOTION CARRIED. 4. Ernest and Susan Crane and Bernard Larsen Rezone from Duplex to Heavy Commercial property located on the northeast corner of 13th and "A" Streets S.E. Ernest Crane, 210 Hicrest Drive, stated he purchased the property for investment purposes. He said he had no present intention as to what to do. Dale Andrews, 1313 "A" Street S.E., Pastor, Friendship Baptist Chruch, presented a petition of 41 signatures opposing the rezone. He stated the reasons they opposed the rezone because the rezone of the property would per- mit the property to be used for businesses which sell alcoholic beverages and pornography. Andrews suggested the Council require a Conditional Use Permit as they did for the church. He felt the Council would be unable to prevent a tavern or cocktail lounge from coming into the property. Bernard Larsen, co -petitioner, stated the only contact he had received concerning sale of the property was from Laird Sheet Metal and he wondered where the church mem- bers got the idea about pornography. -2- AUBURN COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE THREE JUNE 6, 1983 II.
