Public Hearings 1. Gerald Honeysett Conditional Use Permit for a 50 unit motel and 26 space recreational vehicle park. Jack Ewing, Kent, engineer for the project said they concurred with the recommendations; however, he wanted to note a 16 foot strip of 8th Street S.W. which was required to be dedicated under the conditions was not owned by the petitioner. No one else spoke for or against the request. MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Burns, to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Several Councilmembers expressed concerns about the condition and how to make sure the road was dedicated. Dugan said the Council could require him to dedicate as much as he could; however, if the condition remained, an occupancy permit could not be issued until the entire portion was dedicated. Kurle wondered about potential problems. Nevins indicated it would just be a matter. -1- AUBURN COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE TWO DECEMBER 17, 1984 II. A. Public Hearings (Cont.) 1. Gerald Honeysett Conditional Use Permit (Cont.) that the City would own three-quarters of it and the other quarter would be private. He felt it could be worked out. MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Burns, to approve the ' Conditional Use Permit based upon the applicable Findings of Fact and subject to the conditions as outlined and to instruct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance. Ewing stated he felt the requirement to have the entire street dedicated was like holding a loaded gun at their head because the price would go up if the owner of the 16 feet knew about the requirement. Kurle said he wanted to encourage the parties to resolve. He won- dered if there were any other options. Dugan suggested tabling the matter. Wisner and Burns withdrew their motion. MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Kurle, to table action on the request and refer it to the Public Works Committee for further consideration of Condition No. 1. Burns voted NO. MOTION CARRIED. 2.

A. Public Works Committee Report (Cont.) Pike Street Area N.E. Proposed Improvements (Cont.) Construct traffic circles at 12th & "M" Street N.E. and 12th & "0" Streets N.E., (4) Remove barricade on Pike Street, and (5) Install traffic hump in place of two existing barricades so that it runs completely across the street. Burns expressed concern over some of the changes being accomplished without a public hearing and also environmen- tal issues. Wisner said there had been a whole lot of input and people in the area were in constant contact with the Public Works Committee regarding the situation. Whittall suggested just acting on 4 and 5, putting 1 and 2 in the study and waiting on 3. Wisner explained she felt they had looked at every alternative possible. Burns said he still felt the Council should give the people a chance to have a say in the matter. Wisner said if the Council took no action on January 2 Pike Street would be reopened, everyone would be back here and we would be back to where we were six months ago. She added the Committee and the people in the area worked very hard on this and they felt it was a fair solution. MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Kurle, to include re -alignment of "K" Street connection to Harvey Road and closing loth Street N.E. near the Harvey Road/"K" Street intersection in the Harvey Road design, and to approve construction of traffic circles at 12th & "M" Street N.E. and 12th & "0" Streets N.E., removal of the barricade on Pike Street and installation of a traffic hump in place of two existing barricades so that it runs completely across the street. Burns suggested delaying until the next meeting so people could come in and have their say. Several members of the Council suggested an option of delaying removal of the barricades until January 7 when the Council meets. Burns suggested maybe just delaying recommendation 3 on construc- tion of the traffic circles. Wisner and Kurle amended their motion to call for a public hearing at the next Council meeting of January 7 on construction of traffic circles at 12th & "M" Street N.E. and 12th & "0" Streets N.E.
