CITIZEN INPUT PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE t II. A. Public Hearings 1. Annexation of a 15 acre parcel located at the southwest corner of the West Valley Highway and South 287th Street. Tom Barghausen, representing Auburn Tacoma Investors, gave a brief history of the request and indicated the annexation had been denied a year ago. He cited RCW 36.93.180 which the King County Boundary Review Board was required to look at and urged the Council to use this reference. Howard Collier and Carol Lee Berring spoke in opposition to the annexation because of possible increase in taxes, road maintenance, traffic problems and water problems. MOTION by Hitchcock, SECOND by Colburn, to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Hitchcock and Kurle thought the water problem and other problems should be addressed before sending the request to King County Boundary Review Board. Larson noted the City could not require anything of people until they were annexed. Craig agreed with Larson stating he thought the question before the Council was whether or not the City wants this piece of property annexed. -1- AUBURN COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE TWO NOVEMBER 7, 1983 II.
