A. Public Hearings (Cont.) s 1. John H. C. Minkema Rezone (Cont.) Jim Hudson, 12224 N.E. 8th, Belleuve, representing Wembley Enterprises, stated he was neither for or against the request, but wondered if the Planning Commission recommendation was based on the land use plan or other criteria. ' No one else spoke for or against the request. MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Burns, to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Dugan responded to Hudson's question indicating the recommendation was based on the land use plan. He added that the owner disagreed with Condition No. 2 and suggested the word "negotiate" be added. Kurle stated the Planning Committee was looking at the mix of mobile homes. He wondered why the Planning Commission recommended approval of this request. Dugan reported there had never been a recommendation for a moritorium on mobile homes. He said this mobile home park is sandwiched between two mobile home parks while the Wembly was a new development contrary to the current Comprehensive Land Use Plan. He said any mobile home park would be considered on a case by case basis. Dugan added the Wembley Rezone raised policy issues on how this area would be developed. MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Larson, to approve the rezone from R-2 to R-TP based upon the applicable Findings of Fact and subject to the conditions as outlined in the agenda packet and to instruct the City Attorney to prepare the ncessary ordinance including the addition of the word "negoiate" to the beginning of Condition No. 2.

George Lindsay, 31218 Pacific Highway South, Federal Way, representing Mr. Wynn, stated the two year exten- tion involved essentially no change in grading plan. He requested the Council consider changing the hours to 8 to 4 o'clock. No one else spoke for or against the request. MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Burns, to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilmembers Colburn, Craig, Kurle and Wisner expressed concern in the traffic problems the change in hours could cause. Kurle inquired about the traffic counts. Nevins indicated the survey had just been completed the Friday before and he could not comment on it as yet. Lindsay stated they were now limited to a six hour day and had to pay their drivers for eight hours. He said part of the reason for the need for an extention was because of the short hours. Dugan indicated he had discussed the matter with the Public Works staff and they felt they were comfortable with the existing hours. He added Mr. Lindsay has some interesting arguments and suggested possibly referring it to Committee. -2- AUBURN COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE THREE OCTOBER 15, 1984 II. A. Public Hearings (Cont.) 2.
