Don Black - 1026 "0° Street N.E., Auburn, WA 04.11.1 Water Imp 167 & 188. - 04.6.3 Sewer Imp 77 & 84 Mr. Black stated he is a resident of Lone's First Addition to Auburn which was developed twenty-five to thirty years ago. Mr. Black expressed_concern of the sewer system and water improvements currently being constructed in the Lone Addition. He said he favors the construction of the sewer and water improvements, but he is not in favor of the process the City used to . bring the, improvements, into the area. PAGE 2 CITY OF AUBURN COUNCIL MEETING October 21, 1991 Mr. Black briefly described some of the discussions residents had with city staff during the last three years with regard to improvements to the water system. The residents were told when the city constructed the water improvements it would be economical at the same time to add the sanitary sewer lines. Mr. Black explained that recently the city distributed a notice to residents within the construction area asking where each resident would like to have the stub to the sewer placed on their property. Then, he said, without. further notice, construction began and a flyer was distributed explaining the charges that each resident would have to pay. Mr. Black objected to the lack of notification the residents received within the construction area that the city intended to proceed with the construction of sewer and water improvements. Referring to the $210.00 sewer connection charge and the ordinance giving the city authority to charge development charges on utilities, Mr. Black discussed mandatory fees and regulations that each resident would be required to adhere to when they hooked up to the sewer system. He stated some of the residents of this area are retired and are on fixed incom. es, and the charges to hook into the sewer system will put a hardship on some of the residents. He stated the city flyer discussed construction fees, hookup charges, and permit fees, but did not discuss a sewer hookup charge that each resident will have to pay to hook into M.ETRO. Mr. Black contends that Lone's First Addition and a few surrounding streets were established prior to the enactment of the ordinance imposing the development charge. He felt the intent of the ordinance is for the development of new properties, not for properties that have been in existence for twenty-five years. Mr. Black asked the Council to consider waiving the hook up charge. The following individual directed the Council attention to the parking situation surrounding Auburn Senior High School. Amv Keeter -2748 Alpine Drive N.E., Auburn, WA 01.2 ' Amy Keeter is a student at Auburn High School.
